[000:00:00;00] in a matter of days more about the new aid package from tea, the aid of other countries such as australia and new zealand, let's talk with my colleague oleksiy kovalenko, who is currently in direct contact with the studio oleksiy. in the white house, this is exactly the selection of weapons as you said just a few hours ago. we learned from the statements of the white house that the united states is providing ukraine with a new package . as part of this package, ukraine is getting a lot of new equipment, including 30 bradley combat vehicles, 25 striker combat vehicles, also a lot of equipment for anti-aircraft installations for anti-aircraft defense systems, patriot, as well as the harm missile system

and equipment for the himars mobile system, and we heard from the statement of the pentagon that this equipment is needed for the ukrainian ground forces , as well as in order to strengthen the air defense system, as well as to strengthen the positions of ukrainian forces during contour offensive operations, and here is actually more about what kind of equipment is there? and what is the purpose of this equipment? we can hear from the statements of the representative of the white house right now that this aid package includes key capabilities of supporting ukraine's counteroffensive operations, such as demining equipment , armored vehicles, artillery shells, it will also strengthen air defense to help ukraine protect its people. from missile attacks and will provide ukraine with additional anti-tank systems and ammunition for

himers missile systems, which ukraine is very effectively uses on the battlefield oleksiy, in our programs we talk a lot about us aid and, of course, washington, the largest donor of military aid, in general , dozens of countries provide such support, and one of them is distant australia, which this week announced a new tranche of security support , tell us a little about it and ukraine, australia, yes yulia, as you said, australia is a country far from us geographically, but it is a country that has systematically supported us since the first days of the full-scale invasion. and literally yesterday we heard the statement of the prime minister of australia that australia is providing ukraine with a new aid package of 73.5 million dollars, this package includes many combat vehicles, including 28 armored vehicles, 14 special purpose vehicles and other vehicles that can help the ukrainian ground forces in counteroffensive actions in general, australia has already provided more than $500 million

in aid to ukraine, of which more than $400 million since the beginning of russia's full-scale war against ukraine, and we remember that these armored vehicles that were provided to us yesterday as part of the new package is far from everything that ukraine has already received from australia, before that there were also 90 bushma armored vehicles, most of which had already participated in hostilities in ukraine and had proven themselves very well in various directions , and we know that ukraine has australia and new zealand huge support, according to a recent survey, 75% of the population of australia supports the provision of new military equipment and technology to ukraine. zealand and we can listen to it from him right now. australia has been supporting ukraine since the beginning of the full-scale aggression

of russia. last year, the previous government was in power and they started this assistance. of ukraine we saw how they worked in the kharkiv direction, now they are also in donetsk, this support was systematic, in fact there was a change of government. last year , the labor party came to power in may and they continued this support and announced various packages in these packages, in particular, there were various types of weapons. in addition, there were also m113 armored vehicles. oleksiy remains with us for literally a minute, and another important issue that is currently being actively discussed is the supply of fighter jets to ukraine. recently, there were discussions about the supply of specifically australian f-18 fighter jets, what are the prospects for this, in fact, there were a lot of discussions regarding the supply of australian e18 fighter jets to ukraine, but

it is not about free delivery, as in these packages of new military aid to ukraine refer specifically to the possible sale of these fighters by australia to ukraine. australia has 41 f18 hornet fighters. they have already been removed from the military equipment of the australian air force, but a possible sale . if this sale does not happen, they will simply be written off. these machines and actually now there is a discussion between the different parties and the ukrainian side is also trying to find out what their condition is and whether this sale is possible . soon we hope to follow this topic and find out more details.

thank you very soon, very separately , soon the full version of the interview with ambassador myroshnychenko, more about australian aid. american analysts nevertheless see an increased risk of a threat due to lukashenka's agreements with the leader of the wagnerites, yevgeny prigozhin, and in the american institute for the study of war are convinced that putin will do everything to attract wagnerites to the regular russian army, which is currently weak and needs additional forces , about the future of a private military company on the battlefield in ukraine and the impact of the rebellion of the leaders of the wagnerites on the political situation in russia, iryna asked american analysts shynkarenko , the leader of the private military company wagner, called his incorporeal march to moscow a march of justice. in the back and armed insurrection, american

analysts say that it is difficult to find a clear definition of exactly what happened in russia last weekend. i think that this is something that shook putin's invincibility, it was not a coup , he did not seek a coup, i do not think that it was an attempted coup . he tried not to overthrow putin, but to consolidate his power within the military command. i think he really believed that he and gerasimov could be released, and that he would be able to become the main general of the war in security tests for ukraine i think it can best be described as a mutiny, as putin called it in his speech, or an armed uprising , it looks like he wanted to blackmail putin to accept his conditions, prigozhyn himself said that the wagnerites turned around on the way to moscow because they did not want to shed russian blood, they were going for demonstrations of protest and not the overthrow of the government security and military affairs analyst from the university of new gamen matyushmit believes that prigozhin's unfinished actions will not only shake the military command and

the russian leadership, but on the contrary send them into the regime putin, we know that the elite around putin did not side with prigozhin. they may have waited and wanted to see what was happening, but in the end they did not side with the uprising and now there is no other progzhena who will come in a few weeks or months. i think putin will introduce steps to restore his power among the population and the elite. i think they draw attention to the love in ukraine and to the success or defeat of the ukrainian troops. the opposite opinion is the former us ambassador to ukraine john gerbs . authority of putin and became a signal of his ugly position both domestically and in the eyes of the rest of the world until last saturday, most intelligence, most governments claimed that putin was firmly in power, they were clearly wrong, so now everyone says that putin is vulnerable they were right about this

even before what everyone did, there were signs that everyone was going to do it and few people paid attention to it, i don't think that putin came out of this with a strong leader. i think this means that others will wonder if he is that person which they need to follow does this mean that someone will try to replace him is a completely different question i just said that he is weaker and he can look for ways to regain his strength but i am not sure that there are any easy ways for him the coat of arms thinks that together with the weakening of putin the events last weekend was the beginning of the end and the very formation of the wagnerites naked, as soon as prigozhyn took responsibility for taking bahmut, he began to withdraw wagner's forces from the battlefield, it seems that they have not been fighting for six or eight weeks and since they are not restored as a separate unit. i think that whatever forces

they have, they will disperse as they disperse throughout the russian regular army in the fact that wagner's group under the leadership of prigozhin will no longer fight in important areas of the front in ukraine , convinced and analyst leon- aron i would say that prigozhin's ukrainian battles are over, no matter what happened to him, and i don't think that putin will allow him to restore his team, certainly not when prigozhin's friendship with belarus seems to be over. the question is whether putin can forgive prigozhin now the belarusian leader oleksandr lukashenko can't sneeze disagree with putin so any guarantees he gave prigozhin can start a paper or a phone call i doubt that putin is going to let him go half-baked on the other side prigozhin is not a naive indianist so for some time it will be interesting. i think it is a struggle of wills , meanwhile, the neighboring countries of belarus have already agreed to strengthen measures on the border, to see

the growing threat from belarus, all the reasons are considered by matthew schmidt, says after of the unsuccessful uprising of the wagnerites, putin has made them and their leader practically tame. i think that prigozhin in belarus will now be able to actually take orders from putin and may be an effective leader of some attack from the north again on kyiv to threaten the capital . especially since the counteroffensive is becoming more and more successful is a suspicion that now wagner's troops will be inclined to fight hard and follow the orders of the russian commanders because i think they understand that their lives are at stake in the american institute of study a war with belarus is considered unlikely there, putin is sure that the wagnerites are critically needed on the battlefield as part of the russian army in areas of the front that no longer exist , that is why the leader of the kremlin declared that he was ready to forgive them and put the blame precisely on the organizers of the event, he needed these

wagner forces regardless of the fact that they betrayed whether they are his or not in another world a strong leader if it wasn't for the invasion he would most likely put them in prison for such treason but in this case he made this public appeal trying to save his reputation from this incident trying to contain these forces so for me a demonstration of putin's weakness is that he is concerned that these forces may follow prigozhin into belarus separately this incident has shown how weak russian forces are russian security forces even in response to external and internal threats we have seen that prigozhin was able to get to moscow almost 200 km away in a few hours, and this is a sign that he believes that putin's forces are not as effective as before , probably because most of them were directed to the front lines at the institute of studies the war says that currently the actual consequences of the wagnerian rebellion are not visible on the battlefield, however, recent events have damaged the morale of the russian army, former us ambassador to ukraine john gerbs also believes that it will be even

more difficult for putin to gather troops for the war in ukraine , gerb is convinced that the events inside russia should push the world to send to ukraine even more modern weapons iryna shynkarenko oleksiy osika voice of america the longer the war in ukraine lasts, the more chaos will intensify in russia, which may lead to the loss of control over nuclear weapons in this the advisor to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, mykhailo podolyak, shared such thoughts in an interview with my colleagues tetyana, but what practical conclusions does official kyiv expect from the allies, and whether the threat from belarus has increased in a fragment of this interview, next , first, putin is not the consensus of the russian elites putin, on the contrary, is perceived as an absolutely weak president who needs an immediate change of the second component. today , unfortunately, there is no consensus among the elites in russia about

who can be putin's successor and how seize power as such and the third component is the war develops chaotically for the russian federation and this will increase the risks of transferring the war to russian territory where there will be more and more manifestations of civil protest or any other technology as such and this will mean that control such a large territory and over nuclear arsenals will be very significantly lost in the coming days , weeks, months, these are obvious things, and on the contrary , to support mr. putin today at the expense of the fact that it is necessary to reduce the pressure from the ukrainian side, that is, to reduce aid to ukraine so that it does not suppress the russian federation within the framework of offensive operations, this will mean , on the contrary, bringing russia to the maximum chaotic state and, in principle, we will lose control over russia's nuclear arsenals

quite quickly."

this is an extremely catastrophic situation, a threat from belarus, considering that wagner is entering belarus, under what conditions it is unclear, and considering what was stated that the russians transferred nuclear weapons to belarus, i do not know whether this really happened or not, but whether the threat has increased on the part of the belarusians, for ukraine, belarus is, but the population of belarus is absolutely the population of russia, so that as such these are two different countries , this is the first, the second, russia definitely violated the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, the third component , tactically, nuclear weapons can be used from any territory, not only from belarus, because there are missiles with a range of 1.5-3 thousand kilometers , now for wagner, these are unnecessary fears, first of all, wagner must give all heavy weapons to the ministry of defense of the russian federation, or rather to the national guard

, in part, wagner will disintegrate because certain number of people will sign contracts with the ministry of defense, but more people will sign contracts with the national guard , gold, uh, some certain number will remain with what it is used for, and this third is very important because there are certain assets, pay attention to key assets in african countries where they are controlled even by the governments of some others countries, and therefore it seems to me that wagner will be focused precisely on preserving his influence in africa and performing certain works in africa. during the year 2022-23, during the year wagner received 86 billion rubles of the russian federation officially from the budget of this money. the people will not pay attention to it, so it is definitely unlikely that the budget of belarus , which is a pension subsidy and receives subsidies from the russian budget, will support such an army. the key is that lukashenko belongs to the category

of people who are very, very sensitive to fear, he is very afraid of everything, and it seems to me that there in belarus, wagner, there are 20 or 100 instructors who will teach the use of drones or other modern methods of warfare belarusian officers are not more than that, so we are calm enough about this, definitely from following the video from the office of the ukrainian president , how with the help of a drone drone about the pardon was flown by the leading news agencies of the world, one of the authors of these types of videos, 26-year-old boxer from kyiv andriy yaky volunteered in air defense, and later became the operator of the strike operator of aviation drones about the peculiarities of his work in donbas. he told ani kostichenko and pavlo

suhodolskyi these are the hits, this is the job the operator of the attack aircraft drones or just the bomber and his calculation he is a man on reconnaissance flying and i perform the functions of a bomber, that is, i detect a target or a target is detected to me and i purposefully fly and hit this bad person badly a person for a shift we destroy 5 to 10 people there 26 -year-old andriy from kyiv initially a full-scale attack on russia and during this time became a successful operator of unmanned aerial vehicles in just one month, the unit where the boy was fighting eliminated about 200 occupiers killed and wounded in the direction of bakhmut he says that the last four years before the full-scale invasion of russia passed for andrii in the boxing gym on the eve of the great war, he was preparing for the championship of kyiv and

dreamed of competing in europe, that is, it may seem that there you are just there boxing , everything is just there, a direct side e-e from below , but no it's so easy to rest these movements well, you need a lot of time there however, from the first days of the full-scale attack on russia, andriy left boxing and went to one of the kyiv ones as a volunteer, and within a few weeks he got into the company of unmanned aerial assault of the achilles complexes as part of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade. you have such an adrenaline that you see what someone there does not see when he stands at the posts, and the enemy has never seen the eyes of us and here and you see him you see how he is all the more i liked that you can it's not easy to find out there, the forest is thick and you look closely, you get this thrill when you see it there. oh, there are some bumps. that is, there could be some equipment there, and we found tanks

, destroyed tanks for three years, so the former boxer found his new vocation, i'm so excited that i'm always ready to fly, i like it there. like, let the guys rest more. and i fly. andriy's combat journey began in kharkiv oblast. drone operators worked together with attack aircraft to destroy enemy targets and conduct reconnaissance so that the infantry could move forward more safely - the fighter says that many of our calculations were destroyed there. tanks of the surviving force of the self-propelled guns, well, there were a lot of things , we entered our calculations, i remember our calculation, we were driving, we freed shevchenko , there was a picture, there was a whole orcs lying there this wall is standing in front of this bridge, how do you go to kupinsky? these georgiivska ribbons are lousy and that's all, and the aviation is working on you. there is nothing alive there, these emotions take over

the spirit. we are coming after you, we will not stop your team , they will not stop us. glory to ukraine, during aerial reconnaissance under bakhmut, andriy noticed two civilians who were trying to evacuate on their own, while they were in the zone of enemy artillery fire. the command made a decision to save people, he helped people evacuate from bank yura, he is shot at, but thanks to bohun, aerial reconnaissance helps not only to physically destroy the enemy, but also to take him prisoner , says andriy, during the next combat mission, they noticed an unarmed russian soldier, took pity on him and took him out of the zone the defeat recalls the boy saw in

the trench that usiyan was completely wagnerian and where the soldier was wearing some kind of khaniga there with a calimator there they were running that day tipa and he goes without a weapon, and there are three calculations flying, that is, one bomb there definitely landed on him, we did not start to destroy him, it was clear from him that he is not in shock, he goes and looks at these corpses without a weapon and begs, this way he shows that i am without a weapon and we with yura with pshek with my brother we make a decision we look for something to find we write surrender follow the drone i cling to it's the same as if i were a supply and i'm not throwing a bomb at him and i'm giving him a second life i see the goal andriy has been fighting for more than 450 days in a row but recently he took a short vacation to says to get married, despite the harsh everyday life, believes in kindness and love anna kostyuchenko pavel sukhodolskyi for america's vote from the donetsk region mykhailo turovsky, people's artist of ukraine, recently celebrated his
