surely the armed forces of ukraine is advancing to azov coast will crimea soon become an island bypassing sanctions and arming themselves for how long will the russian army be combat-ready and dangerous about all this and not only the process today we will talk with two of our guests , retired united states army general ben hodges and military expert mykhailo samus, but before that how will our guests get in touch from the studio, i offer you a few demonstration videos of the past day, this night , russia was attacked by drones again, let's see

how it was, here it is, cabbage , the vocabulary of our neighbors, when drones are coming to them, we just had to bake and bake this video, and in the meantime, the secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, oleksiy danilov, announced that ukraine has a new missile development capable of flying at a distance of 700 km. let's see how this missile development takes off 4 3 2 1 launch well, you see, danilova made such a surprise by announcing about the wunderwaffe, about weapons , unusual weapons that ukraine possesses, you know that yesterday the airfield in skovi was

attacked, the maternity hospital in skovi is located at a distance of 700 km from ukraine, well actually obviously, this video is of this new missile development and was demonstrated by oleksiy danilov. friends, for those who are now watching us on youtube , i suggest you take part in our survey . today we ask you about such things, how do you evaluate the activities of the minister of defense of ukraine , oleksiy reznikova, positively, negatively, and your option. write any please, in the comments at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote. please do not forget to join our social networks and our website espresso tv, we are here for you 24 hours to twenty days a week well, you obviously already know that president zelenskyi announced a fight against corruption, said that corruption will be fought everywhere in military committees , military medical commissions, so

the president gave an order to carry out a comprehensive review of the validity of those decisions of the vlk regarding disability and unfitness for military service services that were adopted in the period from february 24 , 22, there may be connected with corruption violations, let's hear from zelensky , there are examples of regions where after last february in 2018, the number of removals from military registration increased tenfold due to the decision of the vlk. it is absolutely clear that these decisions are corrupt decisions, and within the framework of the criminal proceedings that are currently ongoing against the employees of the vlk, tamsek can see even better how many decisions could have been falsified already and clearly established by law enforcement officers that the decisions of the vlk were not substantiated recorded specific evidence. so , judging by what the supreme

commander of the armed forces of ukraine says , there was a sufficiently large corrupt system in ukraine that allowed bypassing some people conscription into the armed forces of ukraine, and in this way, now president zelenskyi is trying to fight corruption, who is completely, you know, changing military commissars, regional military commissars, obviously, it will also affect the heads of territorial military centers who work in district centers. well, obviously, we are talking about changing the system of control over e.e. conscripts and over those to the system that currently works e.e. in ukraine . more likely, more than 6,000 people who

work in the military commissariat system do not work there, and it is obvious that when we talk about corruption, this we are talking about not only one, two or three people on the territory of the ukrainian state , obviously we are talking about dozens or hundreds of people who are in this system. are we ready so ready mr. generals i welcome you and thank you for joining our broadcast you can't hear us i understand so please remove mr. general so let's talk today with ben

hodges about how the united states uh the americans are transferring new f-35 nuclear bomb carriers to europe - this decision has already been made, two squadrons will arrive at the base of the united states of america, the entrance to the uk already this year , the british press is writing about it, in particular from the telegraph well, of course, not us when we talk about the next batch of f-35 nuclear weapons carriers , we understand that the world is entering the next phase of the cold war, and if possible, please turn my ear off.

which is currently happening in the country in the world, it is clear that uh, against the background of the hot phase of the war that is currently happening in ukraine as a result of the aggression of the russian federation, uh, of course we have to talk about the cold war, because what is happening with the transfer or pulling up of uh weapons from the united states of the united states of america to europe, and it shows that the west is trying to warn russia against a major war in the countries of the north atlantic alliance. tell me, please , i am turning to the editors. of the entire period that we are observing. over the past few months, we have seen how russia is trying to provoke nato countries, and we know that near the slovak corridor there is such

a small gap between belarus and the kaliningrad region, a distance of 100 km , and the belarusian army is being drawn there, and the fighters of the wagner pvk are being drawn there and are provoking and provoking a conflict, obviously it is quite important for putin now to create the conditions under which a conflict between russia and the north atlantic alliance will begin after this putin will invite the north atlantic kid to sit down at the negotiating table and agree on something . obviously, in this situation, it will also be about ukraine, because for putin , the war in ukraine, as he says, is a war against nato and against the expansion of the north atlantic alliance to the east, and in this story, of course

of course, it is important to understand whether the party has enough patience, whether the party has enough resources, whether the institution has enough money to support ukraine and expand its grouping in the same area or in the baltic because all these statements, including propagandist solovyov's, that the baltic countries allegedly attacked the airfield in pskov, the new thing is that it is about the fact that the west in this situation should decide how to fight illegal migrants who are now storming the western borders in the area of ​​belarus and what to do with the wagnerites who are in

the territory of belarus. by the way, lukashenko responded to the request of the minister of defense of poland to withdraw wagner from belarus because there was a public address of the minister of defense of poland and which demanded the withdrawal of units of prigozhin's army from belarus, what did the self-proclaimed president of belarus say, we will hear about the presence of military personnel from other countries, and so far this is not a justified and stupid demand, not even a request for proposals or demands for belarus

, a party of iskanders has already arrived, at least ten otrk iskander units were unloaded at the osypovych station in the mogilev region , the kapustin yar departure point in the astrakhan region of russia is known to be the fourth state the central interspecies training ground of the russian federation, we will hear an unnamed belarusian military man who tells about the transfer from the kanders in the territory of belarus to the territory of the republic of belarus, the next and not the last military echelon has arrived with the best in its class sample of weapons for the operationally toxic missile complexes of the skander-m, this complex shows the effectiveness of its применения использовать сообщение сообщение completed a full course of training on the territory of the russian federation on

the use of a special combat unit so iskanders are already in belarus, we know that in september the large-scale training of the fighters of the odkb of this association , which includes the countries of the former soviet union, belarus, russia , kazakhstan, kazakhstan, tajikistan, uzbekistan, actually , the belarusians provide their infrastructure for these maneuvers, and of course in ukraine first of all, i am interested in the idea of ​​what will be the consequence of such manners , where will these maneuvers lead to, will we get another tension on the ukrainian -belarusian border, or will we have certain problems, er, western countries too

they ask lukashenka that if you continue to accumulate troops on the border with poland and the baltic states, then we will close the border to you . they are already talking about the possibility of closing the border in poland and lithuania, and they are ready to join this in latvia as well, and the estonians said about the fact that we will not let belarusians into our territory and this obviously should still put lukashenka in his place. well, although in denmark, the situation is about russia using the territory of belarus in the future in order to increase the degree of hatred with the north atlantic alliance. well, of course, ukraine is one of the goals for the russians, who consider belarus, as in the second year

, one of the springboards for an attack for a possible entry into the territory of the country. well, about the counteroffensive about the counteroffensive, nato secretary general stoltenberg said that ukraine is exceeding expectations in advancing the counteroffensive, because you know, friends, there were a lot of comments about what kind of counteroffensive they are succeeding in. satisfied or not what jens stoltenberg thinks about it, let's hear filter ukrainian military commands are doing extremely difficult things on the battlefield, we have seen that ukrainians exceed expectations time and again ukraine will hold out only for a few days or weeks, but now they have liberated the north around kyiv in the east of the kharkiv region and the southern territories of part of the kherson

region therefore, we have to trust them we advise we help, we support, but in the end it is the ukrainians who make the decisions . you see how jens stoltenberg praises the ukrainians. it is clear that the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance is watching what is happening in the east of ukraine and in the south of ukraine. the armed forces of ukraine are breaking through the defense and all these so-called sorovikin lines are passing mini fields , they are coming, these dragon's teeth are passing, they are passing concrete fortifications and moving on to tokmak and then to melitopol in a day

the task now facing the ukrainian military is quite simple, it is to cut off the logistical routes of the armed forces of the russian federation, those that go from their mainland from russia to crimea and those that go through which bridge, well, that is, the task of the ukrainian military is quite simple to create conditions for the transformation of the crimean peninsula into an island, then in this situation, as president zelenskyi says, we can already talk about the future of crimea . what yenston says is that the west is satisfied with the pace of the counteroffensive. well, it's very interesting that we have a statement from dmytro kuleba , the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, he answered the skeptics who say that

the pace of the ukrainian counteroffensive is insufficient , let's hear minister kuleba criticize the slow pace is like spitting in the face to the ukrainian soldier who sacrifices his life every day moving forward and freeing 1 km of ukrainian land, i would recommend all critics to shut up, come to ukraine and try to free at least one square centimeter we all know that the counteroffensive that is taking place is given to us at a rather high price, because every millimeter, meter, every kilometer is the life of our soldiers is not easy.

the fact that the ukrainians are slow, that the ukrainians cannot attack or that the ukrainians do not attack in the same way should simply be rejected because we have , we do not have air superiority at the moment we do not have the advantage of defensive equipment we do not have the advantage in the end, in the number of soldiers who are concentrated in the east and the south, because the russian federation is a large resource country - it is a country that has the ability to wage such a debilitating war for a long time, which we have now entered into, and it is clear that without e parity, at least in the air, it will be difficult for us to fight with the russian federation with the armed forces of the russian federation , you know, friends, that literally a week ago , a decision was made to transfer

f-16 aircraft to ukraine, three countries have already volunteered to take participation in the aviation coalition for ukraine is the netherlands, this is data and norway, these three countries promised ukraine a total of 71 f16 fighters fighter jets to ukraine will be delayed because the first batch of planes should arrive in ukraine at the end of this year, that is, 5 or 6 planes will appear in the ukrainian sky literally by the end of 2023. well, the rest of

the planes will already be in ukraine already next year and 2025. this is quite a long period of time and it is clear that it is important for ukraine to get f-16 aircraft as soon as possible, this will allow to close the sky and er gain an advantage on the battlefield and in er donetsk in donetsk and in the south of ukraine in of course, there are many different conventions in this story, in particular, how will these planes go, the planes will be based in conditions when ukraine is constantly bombarded by the russian invaders. well, in what way are we going to repair this equipment, because this is a serious technique

, it is not very modern, because i started program and talked about the f16, about the f-35 aircraft that the united states of america is rebasing to europe, and we are talking about the f16, these are slightly older aircraft that ukraine will use in its work, and of course, of course, without a broad plan the transfer of the transportation of these aircraft and the training of our pilots on these aircraft, we will not achieve quick results, let's hope that our partners and our pilots and our aviation technicians will very quickly master all this technology and we will be with the planes f-16 well, in the meantime, the besystems company

, which is starting to work in ukraine, uh , it announced that it will uh, do and produce uh, individual spare parts for our army. they promise to produce l-119 and m-77 artillery systems , strong cv 90 armored vehicles.

so, thank you, we are definitely very interested in what you are doing , we have agreed on a certain direction and sequence of actions. because we want ukraine to win and we are absolutely committed to such support. thank you very much. these are the dialogues held by mr. zelenskyi with those who want to help us win over the russian federation, and we have mykhailo herself in contact rural expert mr. mykhailo. i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on our air. today it became known that the united states of america is dropping half a hundred f-35 nuclear bomb carriers on europe. two fighter jets will arrive at

the lakenhilld base of the united states of america. year, what do you think this means for the world and russia, it means that the west is entering the cold war, which is now bordering on a hot war, it seems to me that there is a bit of an exaggeration here, and the emphasis is placed on the nose of nuclear weapons, in fact, the same planes in 16 they are also carriers of nuclear weapons and they are simply being replaced, now the planned replacement of the f-35 aircraft is being replaced by a lean- on the f16 building they are being replaced by the f35, i.e. they are being replaced by newer aircraft and the journalists emphasized that they are the carriers of the f-35 nuclear, but in fact aircraft of various types are carriers of nuclear weapons, there is definitely something here, of course, the political readiness of our allies to help and er, the political readiness of our

allies to strengthen their defense er capabilities in europe, of course, they are confirmed by precisely such steps, that is, in while ukraine will transfer f16 to europe , and our allies will have more and more f-35 aircraft , how likely is it today that russia will provoke nato to war, that is , what kind of micro-provocation will lead to this , or the probability of such a development of events now it is not so significant. well, in fact , the readiness of our nato allies to strengthen their defense potential reduces the probability that russia will engage in such a provocation, that is, a provocation of russia in relation to

nato. perhaps in the event that putin the environment will be sure that nato will not go to war, and this kind of provocation can provoke a crisis within nato, when some nato members may not support the activation of article 5 and nato will begin to collapse. in the west of 2017, they were developing such plans, including, for example, in the area of ​​the same osvalsky famous corridor between poland and the baltic countries , it is also possible to carry out such a provocation , they thought, precisely between kolingrad and belarus and to create conditions when nato will not support, that is, not all nato countries will support the operation against russia and then nato will begin to weaken and maybe even collapse, but the further it goes , the more successful the ukrainian army is, ukraine opposes russia, nato is getting stronger in its understanding that russia should not be feared and that russia, on the contrary, should be brought to a state where

it will not be able to have sufficient military capabilities sufficient military capabilities to oppose nato and generally threaten the democratic world i think that even this is the last case when the ukrainian forces have already announced that it was ukrainian weapons that struck 700 km away. you can talk about it . which, by the way, whose units are currently fighting against ukrainian weapons in the south of ukraine, struck the pskov airfield. well, some russian propagandists began to shout that this was like an attack from estonia or latvia, and we should strike nato countries. well, for example, i would like to to say well, what's holding you back, let's go ahead and strike riga or tallinn , they're afraid because they know that if they don't act with hybrid methods and simply strike

the capitals with missile strikes on the capitals of the baltic countries, they can get a real war, you know, but they can't resist what can you say to ukraine about the most powerful military-political bloc, you, as an expert , can you say about this wunderwaffe that appeared in ukraine and flies at 700 km . are these rockets or drones? mr. danilov's night shooting was shown here . obviously, this is a rocket. from those individual statements that leaked into open access, it can be concluded that this is one thing that he wanted to teach about the modification of a cruise missile. maybe on the basis of neptune, that is , the peculiarity of a cruise missile is after all an aircraft, unlike a ballistic missile, it can be improved and it can be provided with a-a greater radius of action at
