[000:00:00;00] it will be possible to defeat ukraine russia will not be able to overthrow ukrainian sovereignty let's look at the map on a full scale let's divide the presence of russian troops in the occupied territories by the number of present all this is about statistics we understand that they are now advancing with completely inadequate tactful maneuvers they are unable to conduct reconnaissance and are unable to acquire the necessary they re-reconnaissance they fail to carry out successful breakthrough operations fail precisely because of all these reasons that i have just listed and that is why i think that their

the defense will also soon crumble because the sacrifices that ukraine bears are for their blood, for their soldiers, they are even braver and they really show success - success on the battlefield , success in counter-offensive actions, and therefore i think that all this is now quite obvious if we look at the very the essence of the russian army but now, now, a very important moment is the honor of kuchyn, his pha, his authority was shaken, and that is why he does not surrender now, he really did not imagine that his troops are so incompetent, but also if we simply analyze these ridiculous manipulations in history that he was involved in, in particular in october 2021, he thought that ukraine did not have a national identity as such, he believed that they did not have the will to fight for their existence for their own

sovereignty and well, thanks to at such moments he dared to advance and he miscalculated by exactly 180° , tell mr. general, now the ukrainian leadership and ukrainian society insist that the euro-atlantic integration of ukraine, the accession of ukraine donato have take place at a fast pace, how realistic is it in general, what does the donato formula mean after the war, what should ukraine do to join the euro-atlantic family, there should be a specific path for ukraine, ukraine's entry into nato , ukraine's immediate entry into nato , a certain mechanism should be established, thanks to which ukraine, which we will enter as soon as possible in nato, this will be

the best and guarantee of security for the long term. this is the most important step mentioned by secretary general stoltenberg, just to announce a concrete road map for ukraine. hope that such a road map can be adopted in vilnius at the nato summit, it will depend on the results or hostilities, and it will be really difficult to convince all nato member countries because, as you know, nato is not such a homogeneous structure, there are some countries that are currently sticking sticks in wheels and who simply have pro-russian sentiments, i am talking now about

urbana and hungary but i believe that now we have reached such a point when there really is a certain pressure on countries that can act against now we see what ukraine is doing on battlefield, we see that ukraine manages to win back its territories, we can calculate different scenarios, yes, but i hope that ukraine will manage to win back all the territories that have been taken from it since 2014 , it is important that there is indeed a desire to provide ukraine with support as much as it is necessary to provide heavy modern weapons, but it is also important to recognize that there is a possibility of certain bilateral security guarantees between ukraine and some other

nato countries. in the future, secretary of state anthony blinken is currently holding talks in beijing for the first time in many years. how much do you generally believe that the united states and china can normalize relations? how do you generally view the threat of china from a security point of view ? normal bilateral relations, because the communist party wants to stop any aggression, in fact, it wants to somehow shake security on a global scale, and in fact, they provide a lot of

support to russia, they feed the military machine russia and they're providing e-e financing because they're buying more russian oil and russian gas we 've done some investigation we've gotten some e data in particular at the us government level and when we say what is really the sale of our gas this was a critical component to strengthen the defense in the e-e sector of russia, they support authoritarianism - it is not that the usa supports it, it is something else juicy, but they want to have a strategic partnership with russia and also with iran, we know what the relationship is between iran and russia, how they provide russia with their drones, what in particular, they are strengthening the russian military, and that's why all this is from the perspective of ukraine, but yes, but we also understand

economic aggression, because indeed russia is militarizing its economic model, and when we talk about the so-called global south, they want to fix relations with the countries of the southern and global south, and this is precisely one of the items on the international agenda, and it is very important to promote efforts in such areas, when we understand that now at the global stage, people do not there are enough specific minerals. that is, it is also attention to such issues. people should understand that china has done a lot . china has done a lot in order to

... their state changes and other ways so i would say that i advised plinkin to find no compromises china is not in the best position now when we talk from the point of view of the policy of the communist party of china when and therefore, in the global economic market, they are currently experiencing a crisis, they are burdened with a-a debts, and if we look, for example, at their unemployment rate, they have more than 20% unemployment in the age category from 16 to almost 30 years old . that is, we see that there is a crack that

continues to grow, a crack in the economy, and therefore it is not profitable for them to behave differently than to be friends with the west, and they now think and are critical of transparency . they do not understand why people do not want to invest in china. and all this is precisely because of these reasons, precisely the leadership of china. change this point of view and it is precisely because of this leadership that the usa does not need to make concessions, there is no need to make any compromises, and now when we are talking about a specific moment, you are afraid of a real force clash between the united states and china around taiwan, what is the probability of such a process

and indeed there is a very high probability. if you don’t sit down and say that he won’t be able to gain control over ivan except by force, and indeed we know and there have always been fears about ivan after the ukrainian conflict, but now it is very important so that the taiwanese themselves now learn from the example of the ukrainians and themselves strengthen their defense power, now it is important to provide taiwan with what they need before any invasion attempt, this is now a critical determining factor. we should also learn from the example of ukraine. yes, what we talked about in the previous question there is a certain package worth 9 billion dollars that is under consideration so that it can be increased on an industrial basis, in particular from the usa, and

such steps of actual strengthening and additional aid and the provision of aid and assistance would be a signal to china and they have thought carefully about what uh or dare to take such a step for example if we talk about bilateral relations between japan japan and the united states they also now have joint packages to strengthen the defense potential - this also puts at risk what will not succeed china is to do what between australia , japan and the united states is now being formed and they are also thinking of steps like children if there will be an increase in the threat often there is such a statement please do not force yourself to choose

something between -e together with the usa or with don't do this to china, but we will now understand that we have to unite, and china now also understands that it cannot be globally isolated, it needs to unite with someone, the late president has recently been trying to demonstrate that he is building his country precisely as a nuclear power plant on his last in a speech at the st. petersburg economic forum, he said that russia will not reduce its nuclear arsenal, he transferred nuclear weapons to the territory of the republic of belarus, at least he claims so, and his lukashenko's belarusian partner, he constantly talks about russia's nuclear doctrine when it comes to his alleged failure to start a war with ukraine . how to prevent this nuclear threat , does the united states have the tools that would allow us to hope that a nuclear war will not start, and

even more so, that a nuclear attack by a nuclear state will not take place nuclear is needed, what should be a clear message for putin that if he uses nuclear weapons, presses the nuclear button, he will sign his own death sentence. and how can he do everything by conventional means we see that he does not succeed. i think that if he still does not weigh himself, then in a day there will be nothing left of the black sea fleet of the russian fleet, which is in the red, in the black, in the black sea, respectively, if he does not play by the rules, if a nuclear state attacks a non-nuclear one, then he is losing now he can't do anything he specifically miscalculated all his military goals failed but when we talk about vertical nuclear escalation

i think he doesn't weigh in on that why because i think their nuclear weapons are real out of order. i think that even the inter-ukrainians will not stop fighting for any development of scenarios, that is, i think that if russia and , for example, north korea, or uh, when we talk about their geographical location along the volga, for example, then a yes, putin is trying now. and if he escalates the conflict so much, then he will escalate in other areas. he is now talking about the threat of undermining cables under the atlantic ocean, and he says a lot of things. he speaks strategically

about moldova and belarus. he really wants to to shake the peace everywhere and that he worked in georgia where in fact a government that is loyal to putin came to power and this actually drove the people of georgia to such a certain catastrophe, we can really expect everything from him and well, for example, if we are talking about bulgaria, bulgaria also sometimes expresses its loyalty to putin, he is actually now starting such a series of murders in syria and practically everywhere, and the network of his criminal activities is actually so extensive that we have to be serious when

considering our reaction, we have to strengthen our force when it comes to providing assistance to ukraine on the battlefield, because it is now decisive not to let ukraine fall, it is very important to preserve ukrainian security , sovereignty, and this is decisive for the whole world, i want to clarify, however, mr. general, when we say what russia is inflicting a nuclear strike destroys its black sea fleet, some other objects, what are we basing our assessment on or on a certain consensus in american political and military circles? i want to say that this is only one of the options for the development of the scenario, of course i i think there were a lot of conversations, a lot of negotiations, maybe even certain ones, you know, fighting wars for what to do , so we have to calculate what we lose, because whoever loses from a nuclear

explosion is the first to lose putin. he must understand this clearly, tell me if we are talking in principle about the world that can be formed as a result of this war, the war of russia against ukraine, do you hope that this world will be more fair or will it be an eternal struggle between democracies and dictatorships , as the former speaker of the house of representatives said of the american congress, ms. on the encipelok during the visit of the tibers. nobody knows anything about this, but when we talk about true security, about true guarantees of security in ukraine or along the entire border with russia , there will be no such security unless there is a radical change of government in moscow, of course it can

talk about ousting putin from his seat, but we also understand how hypernationalists they are. they will be able to organize themselves and if they are able to take some alternative actions than what they are doing, it could also be just for the russians, such a chance is a chance for a better future, so their sons are dying now in ukraine, they are just shamefully sending them there to certain death. there they get serious injuries, maybe it is somehow good for them and they will start to think differently, they will begin to express themselves differently

, they will begin to treat putin not as a good patron, but as a person who does not care about anyone except exactly how itself, then there is a possibility that a position headed by navalny or someone else who could stand in opposition to putin's regime will be formed, they need to be strong , stronger than any opposition in the world, and so this is their scenario for them , but we know how many political prisoners are there now, more than during the cold war, for sure they and their internal fsb and they follow them, they take out those people and kill them, that is, the aspect we know how it should harden the opposition movements of russia, but

what we see now unfortunately, this is not under which banner do you think the election campaign of the 24th year of solidarity with ukraine will go or the tiredness of the well-known solidarity? in my opinion, of course, everything will be on the shoulders of our political leadership, and in particular , ask yourself the question why is it important to win the war in ukraine, why should ukraine win it

, this question can be asked by everyone will answer that yes, it is important to us in this democratic world - it is important and steven kot said that the american will to keep aid for ukraine is based on the simple level of russian atrocities, scissors on ukrainian resistance, and i think that this is exactly what i think determines our efficiency, our stability in solidarity. yes, of course, there are certain debates, because some people think that democracy is bad , but we know that america and that authoritarian regimes generally do not recognize any other point of view, they are brutal democracies.

stable autocracy, unfortunately, often simply collapses, and that is why when we talk about the usa , about nato and about the prospects for nato for everyone, for the free world, victory for them is important. to tell your colleagues in the ukrainian military that right now they are in the midst of this battle, they have been in similar situations all their professional lives and you know what state people are in when they are in the middle of a big, not simple war , to say that those of us really understand military profession they know that all of us now really appreciate the ukrainian military

command servicemen soldiers volunteers we are inspired by your strength of training your decisiveness if you master new weapons how quickly you do it in order to protect your country in order to stop this mass extermination of the ukrainian people for to win back your territories that have been captured since 2024, i want to say that i deeply value and respect our relationship. i am grateful to you for what you are doing to restore your security and of course, i deeply sympathize with your relatives who suffered losses who lost their loved ones and relatives because of such and such an authoritarian criminal putin during the war in iraq, mr. generals, as far as i remember, in the american media, you were called

such an innovative military innovator in the military do you think that the ukrainian military is now also showing such innovation in the new conditions? of course, it is a mixture of the strength of the army of a democratic state, the creativity with which you unite people from different strata of society and they can contribute to the defense of ukraine. i think that there is a certain combination of old and new, new combat skills with old combat skills , constant flexibility in training, as well as the transition from the soviet to the nato model

of weapons, but what impresses me most is what your spirit is, your team spirit to victory in this war, the ukrainians keep their determination , they do not lose it, they want to expel the occupier , general valery zaluzhnyk said that the small soviet army cannot defeat the large soviet army, talking about this war how do you do you think that the ukrainian army has already ceased to be soviet during these 16 months two i don't know if you were once or now we call it the soviet army now we are talking about the echelons of forces that went to ukraine that carried and took the lives of both the military and the civilian population a-a now we see on the example of ukraine - this is how you operate, so at

the tactical level, you now give the initiative to the command of the lower lower echelon, everyone can make their own corrections, there is openness, accordingly, combat teams are open to integration, that is, there is fluidity the movement of the military and we can see and show the dynamics that it is really positive and the russians are not able to work like that at the operational level, they are not motivated , they were defeated with many difficulties in their offensive operations and simply burned to the ground. and when they face the defense forces with the defenders of ukraine, they will lose. thank you, mr. generals. i want to encourage our esteemed viewers once again, everyone who will watch us later, during this live broadcast

, to read your book to fight for the protection of the free world. i believe that there is a very it is important when the military talks about the fact that the military matter is precisely a matter related to the protection of the free world and i want to thank you for this position general and for being a participant in our broadcast today we spoke with herbert mcmaster is a retired lieutenant general of the ground forces of the armed forces of the united states, a former adviser to the president of the united states on national security issues, we , friends, were trying to dedicate this conversation to the fact that a high-ranking american

a military man can be said to be one of the legends of the american army. he sees the ukrainian armed forces and the chances of the ukrainian army in the future. from pain in the knees try dolgit cream dolgit relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves joint mobility with knee cream you can even walk the only yellow cream for joint pain ukraine malta on megogo june 19 at 19:00 the national team of ukraine will present bright football and we will give you incredible support, you have discounts
