they say, the most important thing is to put your heels on, they will not violate security quietly, and the security technique put it on , put it on the cowriat is in this soup because it can fly in at any time and you are not insured , take care of yourself, i and the boys told them to take care of themselves because if we are not there, who will be their sign and current, the drone operator saw the results of the mortar calculation, according to him, a strong russian you can't pierce an 82 mm dugout with a mine, but you should never lose an opportunity, as the military themselves say, to terrorize the enemy, they have eggs, even though they are iron, but not enough to judge calmly when you have already come to the same point several times they already understand that even going to the toilet is a lottery. and they don't have to sleep, they don't have to eat, they don't have to, i mean, they don't even have to go to the toilet normally. they have to know that we

are watching them 24/7 and at any movement. we we answer each other with three shots. well, well-aimed, well-aimed, of course, that's how we work, guys, we're not afraid of anyone because we're the force. we from the armed forces fill up once and for all and hand over to the other pigs. no one is afraid of you and no one called you here. in general we have such a mood that by the new year we should already have an extra day to celebrate uh, it's the new year, oleksiy's family, sell vada, mykola ryshchenko and oleksandr rutchenko for radio svoboda, to you , bahmut and the great offensive of the armed forces of ukraine, we'll be back a little later, but now the format that the weapons of ukraine have gathered again for another meeting on 12 rammstein takes place online and on the above video link military ranks from about 50 countries of the world what to expect from this meeting that is being held for the first time from

someone the united states has unblocked possible supplies in ukraine f16, we will learn from our correspondent zoryana stepanenko, she is live with us , what is already known. i congratulate serhiy today. in the focus of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, the format known as rammstein is the defense of the ukrainian sky - said the head of the pentagon , opening the meeting, russian attacks with hypersonic weapons, he obviously added, meaning dagger and continue, and the ukrainian defense forces, thanks to the air defense systems provided by partners, said luinoslin successfully repel them, they have the opportunity to achieve one hundred percent results in this, so attention now they are devoting themselves to strengthening ukrainian air defense systems, this point of military aid , as the ukrainian minister of defense said, does not lose its relevance. on the agenda are also fighter jets, access to which was blocked by ukraine until recently, but the situation was fundamentally changed by the decision of the united states to join the so-called air collision, which

is ready to teach ukrainian pilots but where exactly will it be in europe, when will it start, who will later transfer the jets, all this is a subject for discussion of the aviation coalition, do you remember a week from birth and it is still in development, so far at least no country has formally committed itself to supply fighter jets, the priority for the time being is training, we hope this training will begin in the coming weeks, it will contribute to the further strengthening and improvement of the capabilities of the ukrainian air force in the long term, and this once again shows our joint determination to ensure that a sovereign and safe ukraine could deter any future aggression and defend itself against future attacks, the united states department of defense noted that

to the counteroffensive what the ukrainian side is preparing f16 they will not involve and that they would rather an element of long-term support and obligations of partners to provide it to ukraine what is happening now on the battlefield, the members of the defense coalition that unites fifty countries will learn today from the ukrainian minister of defense . he will also inform the partners about the most urgent needs of ukraine at the front about shells to maintain the provided equipment in a charged and combat-ready state will also be discussed at the meeting, as well as about the ability of ukrainian armored vehicles to maneuver and about speeding up the production of the necessary equipment for ukraine, the details and traditionally we will find out when the head of the pentagon and general mark miley will come to the journalists after the meeting, if everything goes according to schedule, then in principle it should be in 10 minutes serhii ah zoryan thank you very much, we will stay tuned for 12 ramshtan with district stepanenko, the president of radio svoboda in brussels was live on radio svoboda, thank you. well, the talks about the possible

placement of russian nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus are already obviously becoming a reality, and the minister of defense of russia serhiy shoigu and viktor hryenin of belarus signed a document in minsk on the placement of russian tactical nuclear weapons in belarus. according to the belarusian ministry of defense, the weapons will be placed in one storage facility, and moscow has already handed over to minsk the iskander missile complex with missiles capable of carrying these nuclear warheads, oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the nsdc of ukraine, previously stated that russia's intention to deploy nuclear weapons in belarus will lead to the internal destabilization of the country and ultimately spoil russia's reputation in the eyes of belarusian society belarus has become nuclear-free in the mid-90s, having previously inherited nuclear weapons from the ussr, signing the agreement on the placement of nuclear weapons, the minister of defense of belarus, viktor hryenin, referred to the alleged non-fulfillment of the budapest

memorandum by western countries in the conditions of non- observance of the guarantee of the security of the republic of belarus data normally on the fifth of december 1904 of the 94th year and also non -stop belligerent rhetoric supported by practical actions in relation to the republic of belarus of the russian federation on the part of the countries of the collective zapada at the behest of the heads of our states, organized work on the deployment of non-strategic nuclear weapons in the territory of the republic of belarus, the placement of russian tactical nuclear weapons in belarus will affect the war , in particular in ukraine, and how it will be treated in belarus, let's talk further with us live pavlo all belarusian political scientist head of the center for political analysis and forecasts i congratulate you good evening mr all please tell me oleksandr

lukashenko has already announced that the russian nuclear weapons are already on their way to the territory of belarus, most likely they will soon be located there , and this can be called a new round of tension in eastern europe. over belarus from the side of russia, the first stage we all watched it for sure in 2020, the legitimization of lukashenko from the side of putin, the replacement what he agreed to is a better test for strategic cooperation with russia, eh, the second stage of the deployment of russian troops the territories of belarus for aggression against ukraine. well, the third stage of deployment of nuclear weapons, which essentially secures the russian military presence behind it and the political

presence of russia in belarus , is part of russia's vast strategic space and establishes direct strategic military control over belarus because of course no one from the military or political so-called leadership of the current belarus will control the nuclear weapon, it will be in the hands of the russian the military-political leadership and the general staff use belarus as a screen for inciting the situation, including as a conditional entity that can use nuclear tactical weapons against ukraine, it makes belarus a target for strikes from nato and ukraine but the most important thing, first of all, for a belarusian is the confirmation of the occupation and the confirmation

of the fundamental domination of russia in belarus, where they are lukashenko, no penin , they no longer play any role, they only play screens behind which russia will continue to pursue its aggressive policy both within belarus and in relation to its neighbor . this was not a proposal. this was an ultimatum after the 20th year. if you look at lukashenko's behavior on his decision, russia is talking to him from the point of view of an ultimatum. this ultimatum was set in 2020 when lukashenko went to sochi and met with putin is asking him for some kind of support, such support was provided after the 20th election, but it is precisely when accepting those conditions that are actively

being implemented today that we do not know at all what kind of demands russia made in relation to lukashenko but we see how after the 20th year the russian foreign policy is intensively unfolding in belarus and how actively belarus was drawn into these adventures under any restrictions. well , this migration crisis, first of all, the war against ukraine we understand rationally and even now that there is no reason for us personally for lukashenko, and even more so for belarus, to deploy russian troops, there was no war, they arose precisely after he was pressed against the wall and forced to issue an ultimatum. i don't know in this way, in what form but what happened after the 20th year

? there was no such intense occupation or military presence of russia in belarus during all these years, starting with the arrival of lukashenko. presence well, how is the involvement of belarus in the war against ukraine and further steps to destroy the sovereignty of the country, this is the placement of nuclear tactical weapons, and after that i will absolutely have nuclear strategic weapons on and in essence , belarus is returning to that period of its historical existence. when all decisions were made in moscow, then this is the period of the ussr in the 191st year. unfortunately, today we are dealing with the fact of the destruction of belarus as an independent state. in general, the belarusian people will look at this and see if this decision can lead to any ah , i don’t want to talk about the tests, but at least some kind

of reaction . также, an element of the policy of russia in belarus, russia helped lukashenko , will completely destroy any resistance of belarusians on a mass level in belarus , repressions continue, which can be compared to terror, well, the times of the same stalinism only of course not at such a mass level, but if you compare it with other countries that left the soviet union, even with asian ones, such a level of systemic mass terror has probably never been seen in belarus , the policy of extermination of the nationally oriented population has practically unfolded. to arrest and leave the country, very intensive

immigration, the goals are aimed at the destruction of national, national, all symbols of language consciousness, and so on, that is what we we observe in domestic politics that this is the implementation of the occupation of the occupation, which, for example, russia implemented in crimea after the annexation, that is, we do not have a physical nexia, but we have a military-political and, er, cultural, er, cultural-political annexation, that is, russia er, she conducts everything that she conducts - conducts, for example, in the occupied territories of ukraine, and unfortunately, well, with her hands, of course, lukashenko demonstrates to the whole world what he supposedly is. well , there is a sovereign country, but this is again just a declaration, in fact, he underlined once again the appearance of nuclear weapons is a complete demonstration of the non-constitutionality of the belarusian state. as for

the population, expect some kind of process . the only condition under which this can happen is a request to involve belarus in an open war against ukraine, that is, when belarusian military personnel will enter ukraine of course, it will create the prerequisites for serious problems not for the regime, but what phase will it be? special services and the russian punitive structure because, well, in the next stages, if we are talking about the next steps of russia in relation to belarus, there can be no accelerated

integration of militarized military e-forces special services with russian services of the russian federation, that is, the unification of all structures related to security, well, including this, and political economic institutions, which we observe in parallel in connection with the expansion of these integration processes of belarus . -nuclear weapons in belarus. we spoke with pavel , the all-belarusian political scientist, head of the center for political analysis and forecasts . thank you.

the future offensive of the armed forces of ukraine , are the current operations of the ukrainian forces under bakhmut the beginning of this broad offensive? the destruction of the enemy's logistical support is also a counteroffensive . the red ribbon is being cut and dozens of acts of destruction of the russian occupation forces are taking place. or another direction well, about this great next force of ukraine and against how effective and effective it will be homo- let's talk with us live ivan krychevskyi expert of the military portal defect express i congratulate you good evening well here is the adviser of the office of the president, mykhailo podalyak, said that the offensive has been going on for several days, at the same time, the spokesman of the ukrainian gur said that he did not understand

the noise surrounding the counteroffensive and asked not to ask every day about it what you see from your side, whether it has really started and why the ukrainian authorities are so reluctant it is commented here and there, the question is, of course, who is raising the industry and the like . well, because in the literal sense, you put the sequence very well in such a way that at the beginning there is a statement about what the counteroffensive seems to be asking then well, you are already continuing, of course, there are questions that some then there is a request from yusov well, don't ask about the counteroffensive about so actively if you look directly from well, from what i see from one side, by and large, the continuation, let's call it that , that it is officially called a defensive operation around bahmuta, which includes, in particular , the shackles of enemy troops in this area. it is , of course, undoubtedly a separate element that will have its role in the preparation

of the active phase of this counteroffensive operation when, relatively speaking, the troops will move forward, and this will be exactly the moment we are waiting for, or just when it will happen, well, it will happen in parallel with the reference of our axes forward in separate directions. even if they are somewhat outdated. well , the numbers are still the same, approximately 25.6 thousand occupiers who tried to take bahmuts, this is despite the fact that it is approximately 10% of the entire manpower of the occupying forces, concentrated concentrated only on several tens of kilometers, including while other let's say roughly 280,000 spread along the length of 10 fronts 1300 km, well, that is, the redraw of the troops near bakhmut , it is not yet, that is, they interrupted the capture of russian troops near bakhmut, it is not yet the same counterattack, but it is is important for the counteroffensive regarding

what even nu, in principle, rightly pointed out the gift that there are any operations regarding nu, for example , the destruction of enemy logistics, and what, for example , has its significance, for example, these strikes with rockets, a shadow curtain, a russian-style rear base, or, let's say so carefully, the formation of the battlefield is called, that is, when there is a small tactical advance of our troops in separate directions, because you know, let's say, create more convenient positions and from which it will be more convenient for our troops to move forward. well, when will be the same so-called conditional command and move forward , what are we expecting? of course, it can be called the preparatory elements of a counteroffensive operation, but what is already there is a counteroffensive i started talking too early, moreover, to answer the question how much can it be well, as you say, this operation will be effective , it will be possible somewhere earlier than a few hours or even days before this operation begins well, because here too, by the way, it is also worth understanding that such a story, what is

it would be wrong to even say counteroffensive here, rather, judging by the scale of these preparatory measures that we can observe and around which interpretations we are now confused, counteroffensive is not counteroffensive, but rather future or bolt actions now they are responding to what is happening, it should be called a strategic offensive operation by another term, its strategic offensive operation can be calculated for several months. in principle, before the onset of the winter period, within the framework of this strategic offensive operation , several local offensive operations can take place in different directions, and we have already passed a similar the history of when we, er, first , er, well, chronologically, the active phase began, the counteroffensive in the kherson region, then there was a rapid close year of our troops in kharkiv region and then in november was completed, i just wanted to ask you and clarify about this because of this publicity of this offensive operation

, and its publicity also reached the level of western partners at the highest level, who constantly talked about this offensive and again raised the expectations of the population of ukraine, in particular, with such publicity, can the armed forces of ukraine make any unexpected maneuvers, just like those that took place in the kharkiv and kherson regions, in fact, entirely because it's one thing that there are these elements of publicity, warming up expectations and the like, and another thing is data that the enemy will not need for predicting so or others. well, let's say our steps, and the data that the enemy needs for such a prediction , these are specific numbers, how many brigades of which composition, how many there are techniques. on which part of the front, how do they take place, the premises, even these figures on the movement of material and technical resources, how can we, uh, how can we understand

even the so-called bays from the pentagon were the declared data are, to put it mildly, outdated, as of the middle of february 2022, let's say, now, fortunately, we have it. well, maybe around the end of may in three months, a lot will change accordingly, with all this publicity, let's do just the opposite, it will be more difficult to predict the real actions of our troops in this or that direction and why. by the way, they say that success can be determined only a few days after the start of the active transfer of troops forward. well , because for a few days the russians will still find out where, in their opinion, the main the direction of the strike, to transfer reserves there, our troops will use it, and it may even be that we ourselves will understand in a few days where exactly the main strike of our troops is supposed to be , well , you know from parishes and analogies. the mood of the end of september 2022, when everyone began to agree that

the counterattack was in kherson region , and this was, as it were, distracting the maneuver, and the main strike operation was planned in kharkiv region. uh, more precisely, let's talk now about the story that was spread very strongly for several days. let's say this, the russian propaganda media, and the information about the alleged death of the commander-in-chief, uh, hmm, this information could not be verified , everyone said that uh, there was information, or rather , that he received some wounding er and actually today a video appeared where the alleged thief is sitting and we can watch it now during the month of may we are watching an enchanting fantastic story from early propaganda as well as various conspiracies versions from the so-called experts and finally today, may 25, i want to reveal

a terrible secret, a very terrible secret about the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, i sincerely thank all ukrainians, together we will definitely win, and not only today, always. thank you all, well, this video with the commander-in-chief appeared - and the zaluzhny, well, to ask why this alleged information that he was killed was spread, a rhetorical question, but after all, for several days, even in the western media , they discussed the fact that the zaluzhny was not, er, somewhere in the public space for a few days, well, for why did the russians try to show themselves that they finally know how to strike at the center of decision-making? well, for the past few months , this is the mantra that it is necessary to strike at the centers to make decisions for russian propaganda , and how can we do that at all? it is more clear to recall that the russians claimed that

the commander-in-chief pushed the hostage and received some injuries there, let's call them incompatible with the continuation of professional activities. it was because of a missile attack, as it were , on the command post of our troops, as it were, in the kherson area, how true is this and whether there is any command post there at all, i don’t know, but today we could make sure in principle that if the russians were pushing it all the time it was blatantly false well, if only because let’s separately outline what the person who made such an introductory speech this is colonel anatoliy shtefan, known by the pseudonym shchyrogos, who is responsible for three weeks of communication in the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine. it is possible that it is the opposite of the question to p . why does he release all the videos so slowly? and write down the banal commander-in-chief of the industrious well, if only because the preparation of all kinds of elements for a counteroffensive, well, offensive strategic operation is a very time-consuming

process, even with the use of some such and such it elements, it is all very laborious, what a process and diverting human resources to just to deny some excuse me stupid russian, well, it's a bit wrong , what exactly is it, why did the russians cling to this story, even with the injury of a scumbag? well, because, er, er let's remember the history when there was the first such massive missile attack on kyiv, they even managed to announce that they bombed the verkhovna rada, but they hit the house of a teacher , the central ukrainian rada once sat there. fortunately, this never happened in banking, and it turns out that they hoped that they would be able to bring this story to its logical conclusion, at least in terms of information, but fortunately it was not possible, as we understood very briefly literally 20

seconds is powerless . if the propagandist media turned out to be right, the defense of ukraine was shaken in literally 10 seconds. builds an institution, if the institution worked, i understood, thank you very much for your comment , ivan kyrychevsky, now of the defense express military portal, was on radio svoboda today , fighters of the russian volunteer corps in they published a new video on their telegram channel, in which the commander of the deniska pustin formation says that they are again on the territory of russia, a post office sign was shot in the background indicating the settlement of glotove - this is a village in the belgorod region, not far from the district center of hayvoron, where fighters of the rdk and the legion of freedom of russia used to go the day before yesterday well, russian friends, the volunteer corps is again perfectly possible, we have new evidence, straight from the back of the winter, the next time

we enter the territory of russia with battles or quietly this is no longer important for you, the fight is raging all over the country, wait for us in your settlement, glory, i will remind you that three days ago in the belograd region there were clashes , representatives of the russian volunteer corps and the legion of freedom of russia entered there, these formations are made up of citizens of russia, there was a clash with the russian security forces the russian side claims that about 70, as they say , ukrainian saboteurs were killed, the representatives of the units themselves say that they have two killed and 10 wounded, and on the russian side there are dozens of the victims of journalistic time, iryna romalivska spoke today with the leader of the legion on pseudo caesar and he shared his plans for the future . well, tell me about this, specifically, this action

. it gives the city, it is not planned, eh, although we could, please, here are all the tasks that we set before ourselves, we fulfilled it, it was a combined effect operation, that is, our task was to defeat the russian troops federation to the security forces of the fsb, our task was to demonstrate to the people of russia the possibility of successfully launching an armed struggle against the putin regime, our task was the demilitarization of the belogorod region, in the future, we plan to demilitarize the entire border region of the border region of the russian federation, demilitarization , what do you have ? one unit of the enemy's personnel captured about 5 units
