[000:00:00;00] according to him, this issue will be the subject of collective discussions in the coming weeks, and macron emphasizes that ukraine today defends europe and is so well armed that the west is interested in ensuring that it has reliable security guarantees on a multilateral basis; in addition, macron added that ukraine in the west needs to be much more ambitious than until now about this and not only we will continue to talk with the people's deputy and member of the defense committee serhii rakhmanin with us in direct communication p serhii my congratulations dobriy evening well, in fact, we said that today's episode began with the events in the bryansk region and the belgorod region, and all this against the background of the drone parade in moscow, how in general will this affect the tactical steps of the kremlin in your opinion? strategic steps

what was happening in the bryansk region of the belgorod region . to shake the confidence of the russians in their own security, the confidence of the russians in the reliability of their armed forces, in the invincibility of their armed forces. this is a story about how you will accumulate a critical mass of doubts because russia is capable of winning the war. of the japanese war in 917 at the height of the first world war. when at the beginning of the war there was a patriotic mood, a victorious mood, and then gradually, with a warm step

, there was a question of hope, trust in the authorities, confidence in the victory of their of the armed forces of its army, what is happening now , these are things that will gradually accumulate a critical mass of those who doubt . i'm talking about tactical things, well , i don't think it's worth paying enough attention to it . if we talk about a new report from british intelligence, they say that the command of the russian army is forced to redeploy its troops, in particular due to fear of partisan attacks and actually speaking about the fact that in recent weeks the russian troops are increasingly giving up the initiative and are only reacting to the actions of the ukrainian army. if we talk about strategy again, where do you think they will concentrate the greatest resources for the defense of already captured positions or is

it possible will concentrate on protecting their decision-making centers, so to speak . well, i am not part of the general staff of the russian federation, so it is difficult for me to judge where they will use force when they will transfer resources, i think that the situation that has become unpleasant for them, the situation in the belgorod region, will force them to transfer a certain part of the force of means closer to the borders for the so-called cover of the borders. as for the fact that they cede the initiative, this is also true, but to be honest. drones with e-e raid on belgorod is this not a direct relationship, there is no direct causal holiday connection, the russians are gradually yielding to the initiative of the church , it has been happening somewhere around the month of april

well, actually from that moment, when there were very effective counterattacks, the defense force of ukraine in the bakhmut area in the south, in the north, when the russian flanks were broken , the front lines were leveled, and actually after that, the offensive rush of the russians decreased, the offensive processes decreased , but the russians decreased, and they actually do not actively carry out progressive actions took place on their territory, and the attack of drones and the raid on belohorodchyna is meant, this is a story that affects psychology more, but not in a significant way. which we told at the beginning of the issue, i am about an interview with the times, where the plaintiff fighter caesar says that there are thousands willing to join and will storm as long as they have the resources to go further to moscow, in general , how serious is this challenge for russia on your opinion, can such plans and partisans

be considered realistic well, let's do it, i will refrain from commenting on it, i love fantasy literature, but i love science fiction fantasy literature, i don't really like it from the history of fantasy literature if we we are talking about what is the general profit from this, what impact will this whole story have, any story that shakes the unity of the russian elites , the confidence of the russians, the stage of the confidence of the russian military command, let's say the unanimity of decision-making on the sense of security, which i wrote about at one time in the months of september were written more precisely. my colleague on the committee, zabrosky, is involved, there are things that will shake things up

. we are talking about a heroic raid, uh, to moscow, it’s still more of science fiction writers. i respect them, but not their fans or supporters, but it will be shaken, what does it mean? well, for example, when there is a danger to some russian region, well, of course. that some part of the population of this region will be ready to defend their region there with weapons in their hands, but this is a very small percentage, but the percentage of those who will actually feel in danger and at least will not do those things that will the danger of their region and the number of these people will increase. this is exactly why a story about a large-scale partisan about thousands of people who will take weapons in the hands of the kremlin is still for science fiction writers, but i would underestimate what is happening now

, any thing that this is what is happening right now. drones on the kremlin and in the moscow region, moscow, and the attack on the ship of the intelligence officer ivan holmes and the statements of the parishioner are all those things that shake the confidence of the russians, their belief that they can win this war, because if as if we have come to this war in russia, there are still enough people who really sincerely believe that they can win this war , these things shake this faith, it seems ridiculous to us that the russians in this war can face the russians sitting on the couch and watching tv there are enough people who really believed that russia is winning and when a drone flies towards them or an armored personnel carrier drives by, that faith is shaken by the statements that are heard from the pro-kremlin media. they also talk about this. putin

claims that the attack on moscow was a response to attack by the post office or military intelligence of ukraine, konashenko, today the ministry of defense of the russian federation announced that they allegedly destroyed the last combat-capable ship of the navy of ukraine, it was called yury lifirenko, and it allegedly happened at the airport in odesa, could it be true? can you comment on such statements, i will not comment on them this information for one simple reason, because firstly, i am the official point of view of the official authorities that inform the citizens of ukraine about the consequences of enemy strikes and what information i have, i have no right to make public, i can simply say that the effectiveness of russian strikes is low enough, the coefficient of effectiveness of our air defense system really increases every time its effectiveness, its accuracy, its e-e capability, and instead the number of effective strikes carried out on the territory of europe is increasing, what is happening now

is the following concept in military vocabulary , what is a forming operation called? that is, these are strikes on command headquarters, these are strikes on warehouses, on supply lines, this is an informational and psychological operation. they are also and they will also have effects, they have the right to exist, all that is happening now is preparation for real offensive actions, do you know of any such sensitive effects from missile strikes or hpl strikes on the defense system of ukraine, the russians did not inflict p serhii , well, you mentioned the offensive i want to mention the politician publication, which quotes the united states senator linsia graham, and he visited kyiv and says that soon everyone will see this literally impressive demonstration of strength on the part of the ukrainians, that the russians will be waiting for the awakening group when it begins

ukrainian counteroffensive, but i want to draw attention to his words that he received again, literally, a deep dive into the military plans of ukraine from president volodymyr zelenskyi and his team , can the military-political leadership of ukraine really share detailed plans with american senators, or is it not a threat leak of information disruption of plans well, i don't know what secrets the president of ukraine was consecrating to american legislation, i am far from thinking that the plans of the ukrainian general staff of the ukrainian force defense command can be and should be made public and even in some details can be brought to the attention of the american gost, in fact, for a strategic purpose, that is, the nature of the operation, the content, the reaction, the final goal, the format , the force, the means, this is a state secret, a military secret, a military secret, a secret that has been disclosed to a limited number of people, to be honest, i

i'm not even sure, sorry for the frankness that the military leadership of ukraine brings the details to the political leadership - these are operations, so it is unlikely that any leak is possible information that can harm the plan of the ukrainian military. i am not missing this, mr. serhiy. a video appeared today of how volodymyr zelenskyi made chopil in the odesa region. he was there to represent the newly appointed head of the odesa regional state administration , oleg kiper, and our colleagues from the scheme project established that the russian passport of the kiper's wife, iryna cyprus is still valid and at the same time cyprus says that his wife has renounced russian citizenship and can you comment on the appointment of the goalkeeper as the head of the odesa ova i cannot because in frankly speaking in we had a very long committee and i just found out from you that the pankeeper was appointed as the head of attention. he did not have enough

information to analyze the president from one side from the other side. well, in order to answer specific accusations and specific suspicions, i need a little more information . this is a person who was mentioned quite often in his time, including in a negative context. but in order to comment concretely, i need a little more information about it . of the appointed high-ranking official are important critical, well, in my opinion, how critical, but the attitude to this is completely different , i will refer to my own experience, uh, when uh, it was adopted even before the full-scale invasion of ukraine, the law on intelligence, i categorically insisted and spent a lot of time efforts in order to insist that people who hold key positions in the ukrainian intelligence system in the intelligence community not only

do not have a passport of a citizen of another state, but that they are close relatives, if they, god forbid, have passports, for example, even if they are citizens of the aggressor state, so that they are not involved in this and there is sure to be opposition, including from a certain part of the security forces. i will not now analyze the reasons for this opposition . why was it so i really put a part of my strength er of my time and i was a little bit unsuccessful gray hair er in order to a -a convince my colleagues in the parliament and in the committee first then in the parliament so that this norm was involved but there is a position that i do not i perceive, however, that if a person has proven his loyalty to ukraine, if the person has no reservations, no problems , jsc does not have his biography, then the passports of his

relatives in butzimton have no influence on his position and conscientious performance of his duties by them, i believe that this not so. i believe that people who take out key positions , including positions such as heads of military administrations, heads of central executive bodies, positions of heads of local self-government bodies, if they have relatives who have passports of other countries, in particular, russian or belarusian, at least, questions should arise for them. well, i have a different point of view . thank you very much for joining the broadcast . of the defense committee was in direct contact with us, thank you and continue to join our broadcast kirill martynov , editor-in-chief of novaya gazeta evropa i apologize to the viewers, i will come to russian

kirill good evening i greet you hello, and the zamovskyi times portal, referring to sources in the kremlin, says that putin, with a very high probability , was just at the residence in novogarov when drones attacked moscow. could this be true, and why do such messages appear on in your opinion, you know, the direction to the ruble also points to one of the traditional residences of the moscow region, and the russian president may be the most interesting, the most famous. more precisely, ogarev’s leg, and as i understand it, the collegium from the brain, the times claims that actually the drones fell on the opposite side of the river a few kilometers from the residences, if they ask you to agree where the drones could have flown in principle, then i

think that they are putin’s residences, just like the attack on the kremlin a few weeks earlier -е water-like target of potential because who else is this unmanned gift er-er should be delivered first of all who is a-er such a target number one in this context er-er so i think that it is completely pond-like the information i can not confirm or deny whether putin was specifically in the new ogarev at this moment there is a possibility for this there is a ukrainian army all this is in the background and in the rushes and actually speaking quite alarmingly says peskov but the introduction of military regulations is not foreseen and yesterday we heard active statements about the kremlin 's propaganda about the fact that it has long been necessary to call war, and it is time to mobilize resources. what can the kremlin do to mobilize resources if not

martial law? well, you know first after the previous time, when mr. peskov starts talking about the fact that we are not exactly planning this. at this moment, everyone who has been following the activity for a long time begins to really tense up, which is called because the same thing they talked about a full-scale invasion in february of last year and they said the same thing about the mobilization of the so-called partial september, eh, too , last year. in general, it lies quite regularly, er, another thing, well, what can it be, after all, the russian authorities , especially considering the fact that they are gathering in an hour to conduct er, re-elections of the russian president, they still will not go for such unpopular measures, er, maybe they will go to the introduction of such a limited military situation in the regions

that are directly adjacent to the ukrainian one, and this is also quite possible to allow , and i think that their interpretation of laws allows this. they were afraid, that is, it is possible to introduce some new rules of life for the russians , collect even more money from them, force them to go to war , force them to limit civil rights even more, so that it would be easier for putin to introduce this war , the same appears in this context a crazy idea, for example, 11 such high-ranking russian deputies in the spanish, er, gurlyov, a former general of the russian army proposed yesterday to forbid , under fear of criminal responsibility , russians to shoot drones flying in the sky, er , this will definitely help them very much in

what are russians not ready for, on the basis of the informational agenda that donetsk media is drawing now, you see? it seems to me that there is complete mobilization in this case, rather more propaganda stamp with strange, for example , beautiful and such a scarecrow for part of the russians, because full mobilization is a situation where a million people must be put under arms, and this is not only not a military necessity now, but it is also logistically simply impossible , the russian army and the russian economy are not he will be able to feed those people, he will not be able to gather them in some collection points, we saw each other. how hard was the russian federation coping with partial mobilization , which is already a full and second case ? what can be used for already established rules? mobilizations can be used after having already developed practices , including the experience of occupied donetsk, where , as we remember, men were simply caught on the streets

in order to be selectively captured in certain regions. to use mobilization resources in such a chaotic, barbaric way, he hid in it, he has some kind of defense or some kind of corruption opportunity , he does not go to war, they can feel at ease, the rest can just be randomly grabbed on the street, until prigozhyn or the ministry of defense will not be able to get a full set for the next er meat assault , but speaking of the readiness of the russians for this, it is necessary to understand that russia is still and in general a mesochka that putin, in particular , sent to the russians throughout this year and trying to send it now is that there is nothing to worry about. under the control of vladimir putin, there is somehow a plan and your life, by and large, most of you will not change in any way with this thesis, which has been confirmed many times

. - all of them gave there a significant part must go somewhere and die, today we remembered the article by caesar, which talks about a thousand aspiring presidents of the russian volunteer region, do you think so and how serious is the challenge for the kremlin? these are the statements from the rdp that will seize part of the russian territory . we know a large number of people to whom the russian regime has really caused a lot of harm, including the russians, and i think that among them there are many young men who do not see for themselves, what else can they do in this situation when they cannot er, live peacefully, there is danger, and in general, er, they can also worry about and feel empathy for

ukrainians. i think that thousands of people are completely believable things. eh, that's the kind of mirroring, ah, well, hybrid wars, in essence, the kremlin has been waging against ukraine for many years, until the beginning of a large-scale invasion , eh, now ukraine, or there, the russian volunteers show that you can play this game together, which is called something like this say there is such a war, this is such a dance, in which you dance , uh, together, and uh, these people will claim that they have nothing to do with the ukrainian army, that they got their subscription to the nearest military market, and that they came to liberate russia the land of otpuna and from a symbolic point of view, even if it will be very limited to a military operation

. the news about the raid, and there are saboteurs or volunteers , they are called differently, eh, she answered very wrongly, extremely nervously, and in general, the situation is uneasy. first of all, for those people who control money and power in russia , so that they can join the air. kyryla martynov , editor-in-chief of novaya gazeta evropa plus. we are in direct contact , thank you. turkey to talk about the russian-ukrainian war and the grain agreement , according to the turkish publication hariet, according to their information, the visit of the presidents should take place immediately after the inauguration of erdoğan , which is planned for this weekend. sources claim that first the russian president will fly to donkar, and then the head of

the ukrainian state will come to speak in the kremlin. have already confirmed that putin and erdogan have agreed to meet in the near future, at the same time, the time and place of the meeting have not been named, instead , zelenskyi's potential visit to the bank turkey has not yet commented well, most recently, the russian agency tasa, with reference to putin's assistant yury ushakov, wrote about turkey that the speaker of the state duma of the russian federation vyacheslav vladan will go instead of putin , president putin will not go to yordagan's non-inauguration, ushakov did not give reasons well, just now he is joining our broadcast valery chaliy, chairman of the board of the ukrainian crisis media center, extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the united states in the 15th-19th years . valery. my greetings. good evening. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. valery. what are yours? predictions about zelenskyi's visit to turkey, can putin still change his mind well, actually, we saw that he has probably already changed his mind and what

it depends on, it is especially interesting that the ukrainian president returned from a major foreign tour not so long ago, so to speak, the russian has not been leaving at all lately, well, at all , ungrateful it's up to the people involved in diplomacy to make predictions. we don't think about coffee. on the other hand, i want to say that i could be the president of ukraine at the inauguration, well, have a good time peaceful guaranteed. i think that it should be done. turkey is an important country in wartime. in principle, i think that if possible and with appropriate security measures, it could be done based on two reasons . first, we still have the president of turkey.

there are many questions after his re-election. there are many questions about interaction and secondly, there is still a non-inauguration, there is always an opportunity to cross paths with other leaders, and here there will be a certain group with whom the president of ukraine has not crossed paths before , so i do not rule out that this may happen, although it is obvious that it can be the fact that the stay is already in turkey, but security issues play a role here , as for putin, we have already heard the statement, then he does not go, that is, it cannot be that at first the turkish side said that it wants waiting to see, and then there was a statement that he would not go, volodya well, guess what, that is, in principle, i think that he does not want to leave, he is afraid to leave the country, but the reason is not that everyone says that they will be arrested by

the international criminal court, no, turkey not ratified the statute of the international criminal court, she will certainly not do such things on her territory and that is 100%. therefore, there is no reason why he is afraid to leave russia at all for the last time. if i am not mistaken, it was december 19 of last year , yes, half a year ago. six months ago, and minsk, so that there is an understanding that everyone knows minsk. where is he going? is it controlled by his special services ? that is, it is his special services control lukashenko's palace, they are allowed to do all the monitoring there, so he feels at home there from the point of view of security, but nowhere else he is going, he is afraid for his life, let's ask that today at the gobsek forum in bratislava, the president of the european commission, ruslana von der lyagin, called on those who have the opportunity to literally provide ukraine

with long- range weapons. there is military aid to support the efforts of the ukrainian armed forces and this is why we proposed an eu law to support the production of ammunition we want to push our defense industry to increase production of badly needed artillery shells of 155 and 152 mm caliber, and those who can should provide long-range artillery and weapons systems that can help ukraine bridge the gap with the invasion forces on the battlefield. those who can are actually the united states . under consideration, and the mass media ignore this unwillingness to provide long-range missiles because they say that there will be few left in the states themselves. and what can affect the decision to provide washington with long-range missiles? well, actually, will they not interfere in such a possible solution to the drone attack on moscow, which is still being studied in the united states, is it worth noting that

vsula flanders looks very harmonious in this speech by the former minister of defense, i will remind you that i do not know what he is talking about in relation to washington and the decision on missiles. by the way, to it was clear that these are not 500 km missiles. these are missiles that ukraine already has pedal capabilities, that is, the stormsader and our ukrainian missiles, which we really cannot produce so quickly under the conditions of war, but they are at the same distance, so frankly speaking, i uh i don't understand why at this moment it is important not to make such a decision, well, i seriously don't understand or if someone wants to leave some arguments for the further development of the situation well , yes, there are still arguments to say that there are few such

people in the united states. i think that if it was not enough, no one would have said how joseph biden publicly stated this issue in the game. well, it is not clear that the usa is considering such a moment , and why is it not enough, that is, there are completely different reasons. therefore, i think that it would be correct to take these steps as soon as possible and in principle the reason is very simple, there is only one reason that every such missile that hits the weapons warehouses is not provided, it is not sent here , these are victims, and not only from the ukrainian side , but also from the russian side, that is, because the strikes on the warehouses are possible from the aggressor’s continuation of his actions that is, it is for defense, and i really hope that the administration of the united states will not delay this issue, especially since, in my opinion,
