[000:00:00;00] glory to ukraine is a program, my name is serhii rudenko. i congratulate everyone and wish everyone good health. today, the program is becoming more frequent and the goals are more interesting . we are warned again about a difficult winter , has ukraine prepared for possible russian attacks on critical infrastructure on the threshold of the cold war, or will russia decide to start a direct military conflict with nato about this and about today we will talk about other things during the next hour with three of our guests - this is the former platoon commander of the aydar yevhen battalion, the wild diplomat oleksandr khara and

the blister and paramedic yehor firsov, but before we start our conversation, let 's see how the first of september happened today in ukraine, the children went to school, the children in the conditions of the war, they celebrated the first of september in a short video covered with the word oh, the red viburnum is bright

. on the night of september 1 near moscow, drones attacked the lyubars and there was a fire in the workshop for the production of electronics for rockets. the missiles are called the caliber with which the russians fire at the ukrainian

territory. let's see how it was . well, we have one more small video. the main directorate of intelligence of the ministry of defense published a video of a failed chase

we are watching two russian helicopters and a plane behind a ukrainian drone in the sky of temporarily occupied crimea . so, ukrainian drones are on fire in russia , attacking military facilities on the territory of the russian federation and in the regions temporarily occupied by russia for those who are now watching us live friends on youtube, i want to say that today we are asking you about the following : do you support zelensky in the event of re- election to the presidency, we formulated our question in this way for a reason, because in one from the last interviews, zelensky stated that if the presidential elections are held in the 24th year and the war continues, then he will not abandon the state and will think about running for a second term. so, do you

will you support zelenskyi in case of re-election to the presidency yes no and your option, please write in the comments under this video, we have yevgeny, a participant in the russian-ukrainian war, a former platoon commander of the aydar p yevgeny, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you in to our broadcast good evening glory to ukraine glory to the heroes let's start our conversation with the topic of transferring the war from the territory of ukraine to the territory of russia because during the last month russia is on fire and at the same time this week it was on fire at seven in the regions, two days ago, a military airfield in pskov was attacked, four il-76 planes were burned, two were damaged, they are raging in moscow and promise to strike the baltic countries , budanov says that the launch of drones was carried out

from the territory of the russian federation. do they affect the course of the russian-ukrainian war, er, these strikes are approaching the point of er, seriously influencing our war, we will not forget that this is the first strike, we are actually just growing the same long arm in which we were refused by our allies, we remember the history that we are categorically forbidden to use on the territory of russia anything that is given to us from abroad, this is a stupid absolute restriction , but he who gives weapons has the right to set his own conditions. in russia, it is exclusively our own production, and we had to, in a year, very quickly go through the path that some western companies took for decades, and we actually currently see, well, on some products, we actually see , in fact, testing of factory

prototypes, they simply spend time for that for you to try them on landfills, and our landfills are immediately the russian federation , and we already see some products , for example, on beavers. small but serial assembly. well, actually the next thing that we are reaching for is the transition to large assembly line assembly, the scaling of production, and as soon as it happens, it will already be, well, it can become a very important factor in this war, but even what is happening now it still has an effect, the loss of four strategic bombers is very painful for the russians, especially since they have not produced strategic bombers since 1992 and have long since lost these technologies, the loss of four military transport aircraft is also very expensive

it is painful and this is the annual production of such summers by the entire aviation industry of russia, well, in the 23rd year, they reported that they had produced 5.76 and wrote - in the 22nd year, you see and were proud that this was the largest production in all years. well , here is their annual production - the guys from ours gurus were taken and embraced in one night you understand that if this continues, it will have a very serious impact on the very interesting choice of objects of the e-e industry and actually the plant in lyubartsy and before that there was a very interesting silicon plant that produces about 90% . in general, all microcircuits of russian production and 100% of microcircuits specifically for the russian defense industry, that is, this plant in lyubartsy, it is also connected precisely to the control system of russian cruise missiles , in fact, their defense industry is

very vulnerable in this regard, because of those things that really they are high-tech, in principle, there are few enterprises, that is, in terms of technology, and er, these enterprises are all unique, they do not replace each other, therefore there is no point in fighting with the er, that the russians can, for example , fasten some armored equipment, they can, let them rivet, fight with there is simply no sense in those huge ural factories that fix armor, but to fight against what makes their weapons even a little similar to exactly and this turns out not to be such a problem at all , because such enterprises are extremely exchangeable and they are not they are already big, so the first two strikes are very accurate and they show exactly what we will continue to aim for in the order of the so-called war of attrition. russia wants to impose a war of attrition on us, hoping that it is just quantitative , always, uh, their shell is transferred. well, you we will look at it. in their large-scale defenders, like the russian bear, there are actually very narrow bottle necks and it seems that our gur is just a bottle of bitter and on the mass. well, all the more so because general budanov

said that the conflict should be transferred to the territory of russia, it means war that the wider the operations will be, i quote, the better, er . we also saw this week how er, cardboard drones attacked the kursk airfield, and by the way, we don't know this. let's be precise, but the version about cardboard drones is simple journalistic version , it is not yet confirmed by anything. although it is not refuted , there is one nuance in the version with cardboard drones: we do not produce cardboard drones; cardboard drones are provided to us by the australians. the weapon should not be used on the territory of russia, therefore, in the cardboard version, i have so far taken it out of brackets, i do not think that we would allow ourselves to so brutally violate agreements with allies and military supplies for the sake of

some one operation, of course, only in order to strike at the territory of the russian federation you need to have your own weapons oleksiy danilov secretary of the national security and defense council said yesterday well, volodymyr zelenskyi talked about the fact that we already have such capabilities that allow us to strike at a distance of 700 km at a distance of 700 km, danilo threatened the kremlin with ukrainian long-range missiles, we will hear what mr. danilov said, this is a very complex process , this is a very complex technique, so that it was modern, so that it gave a distance of thousands of kilometers, keep in mind that this is the work of large teams, this is powerful work and today we can say that we have a result. believe me, in the near future , who will have chambers and chambers will be in the literal sense of the word, mr. yevgeny, is it possible

to defeat russia in the war without having this long-range modern domestic weapons that will allow you to hit all the way to the urals, maybe even further, where there are many factories that produce military weapons and everything that they use here, in principle, you can, don’t forget that most of our victories will begin in the last year and a half we have reached it without even having half of the weapons that they give us even now, that is, in principle , you can win without long-range weapons, but the question of the price of victory is that no weapon is somehow universal, there it is wonderwa ffery for a vampire, as our western allies say, no single weapon alone can change the course of a war, that is, it does not determine who will be the winner, but every technological weapon saves the lives of our

soldiers, so the more long-range weapons we have, the fewer our infantrymen will be forced to to die on the front, here arithmetic is very easy to win, well, the afghan mujahideen defeated the soviet union without any long-range weapons, but what a price they paid for it, we are all waiting in ukraine for the supply of f-16 fighters and literally last week uh, this aviation coalition was formed, uh, norway, the netherlands and denmark promised us uh, with a total of 70 planes, the first batch of planes should arrive by the end of this year, that's what the prime minister said, up to five or six there -e airplanes e-e to what extent does the current lack of airplanes on the eastern and southern fronts affect the pace of our

counter-attack, although yesterday nato secretary general stoltenberg spoke about the fact that the counter-offensive of ukrainian troops is quite successful, how much could it be more successful if we had at least parity with by the russians in the sky, this is exactly the same thing that you and i talked about a minute ago, yes, the ukrainian offensive is successful despite the fact that the russians control the sky, our offensive is successful despite the fact that the allies provided us with planes, but the question is the price, if there was no advantage of the russians in aviation in 10-12 times and at the moment it is exactly like that, that is, it is not that parity is not in question, it is an order of magnitude advantage, if it were not for this, we could, in principle , build an offensive strategy in a completely different way , in fact, when we were preparing this offensive from the beginning.

we will use large brigade-level mechanized columns to break through the russian defense, and these mechanized columns were supposed to break through to the enemy and then destroy everything there, and in the first week of the offensive , we tried to advance like this. it works only under the condition of absolute superiority in the sky , when the americans first had, for example , a five-week bombardment and cancer campaign, but they simply had complete control for 5 weeks the sky and destroyed everything they saw, then after that, the armored colonies entered in a parade march, and when the enemy reigns in the sky, our first attempt to advance on the right ponativsk unfortunately, it led to very large losses and casualties, and we had to completely rebuild our entire offensive, this now i'm already thinking that it's not a secret for anyone that we lost approximately as much armored vehicles during the first week of the offensive. how much later for the whole next month or even one and a half we had to go from uh-uh this own

breakthroughs of the russian defense lines and attempts after some deep advances, we had to switch to fighting in years of anti-terrorist operation and platoons and to actually such a gnawing of our infantry by the russian line of defense, and so we proved to be stubborn enough and skillful enough that with this new tactic we first reached the second line of defense of the russians and fighting is already going on inside the second line, and secondly, all this time we managed to maintain the ratio of losses two or three times more than us, despite the fact that they are on the defensive and we are on the offensive, but this is the great courage and skill of our infantry soldiers and if there was our sky, then this master and most importantly, this courage and self-sacrifice will simply be needed, mr. yevgeny, what do you think the west is deliberately delaying the transfer of these planes, it is clear what needs to be done, the structure is needed

, the infrastructure is needed, pilot training is needed there is a lot of e- things to do in order for these planes to appear in the ukrainian sky. but why did they just start doing it now? remember how long we had to squeeze out the political decision itself ? remember how in april of last year we wanted to transfer only the soviet mig-29 from the reserves of poland and slovakia, and biden personally forbade it, and even these soviet midges arrived to us only this spring , exactly a year later, and for the f-16, when they actually gave us the go-ahead, they agreed to put them somewhere around a month ago or even less. so, how long have we been hammering literally like jackals about hammering that you finally agree to this, that is, this is exactly how it goes about the political restrictions about the absolutely stupid red lines that are in the heads in parts of our

allies, including, unfortunately, our main ally, the leadership of the united states , well, that is, the west is afraid of the loss of russia and the collapse of putin 's russia. the house did not say that it wanted russia to lose, there was a wording, we will not let putin win and for a long time - it coincided, there was no difference between defeating putin and preventing putin from winning, but uh, well, in any case, even stop the russians last year, it was too much of a task, but when it became clear that the task of preventing putin from winning was already achieved, now our paths diverge because now we need a complete victory, but the white house did not sign up, it only signed up for putin not to win and this is the difference. the further it goes, the more it becomes sharper, but the more possible it is, the victory of ukraine without defeating

russia. of course, it is not impossible. therefore, there is only one option for us , we have to defeat russia. the problem is that the white house has not yet realized that there are only two options. intermediate a compromise option will in fact be a victory for russia. thank you, mr. yevhen, for the conversation. it was yevhen, a wild veteran of the russian-ukrainian war. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms for those who are currently watching us on youtube. we are today we are conducting a survey today we are asking you about the following do you support zelenskyi in case of re-election to the presidency yes no write your option in the comments why are you asking this because the president himself yesterday answering the questions of the portuguese journalists stated that he is considering such a possibility if the elections are held in 2024, if the war continues and he does not abandon ukraine

just like that. well, that was roughly the quote. so , vote at the end of the program, let's see the voting results, who will support what percentage of our viewers support zelenskyi in his re-election as president of ukraine so, we are in touch with oleksandr hara diplomats expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies mr. oleksandr i am you i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on our air. good evening, mr. sergey. i am also glad to see you on friday, so, so, alexander , the nobel foundation will again receive ambassadors from russia , belarus and iran. at the 2023 award ceremony in stockholm, although last year they decided not to invite representatives two countries due to the war in ukraine, russia and belarus, the ministry

of foreign affairs of ukraine has already condemned such a decision, as stated in the message of the foreign ministry of ukraine, and such a decision is explained by the desire to directly prove their values ​​even to those states that oppose to bring the values ​​of humanism to russia and belarus sisyphus sisyphus and work e we see how this week the pope spoke to the leader of russian culture peter the first and e catherine the second we see how the nobel committee is ready to see posle in russia belarus and iran does not this mean alexander that the world is preparing to forgive russia for the war in ukraine, i don’t think so. because it’s probably some kind of stockholm syndrome when they didn’t get hurt, but they actually accept terrorists as the norm. i think that

the roots of this are in that fascination and in that misunderstandings of russian culture, which is in fact such a small layer on the ground without an abyss of suffering. first century of suffering as russians themselves. what are they called there now and who could they reach? it seems to me that the roots of this lie in the misunderstanding that this part of our continent she was deprived, first of all, of course , of the enlightenment, then of the renaissance. in fact , the language that europeans after two great conflicts on the european continent found as understanding and forgiving each other, she simply did not understand this northern mountains, and it seems to me that the problem is actually that culturally speaking, certain representatives of western europe are, well , vulnerable to this battering ram or trojan horse of russian culture through which this influence spreads and of course any

explanation that the russian ambassador will to hear the whole truth about the war, about the suffering and so on, well, this is absolutely nonsense, only one diplomat, and that of a small rank in russia , who left the post after a large-scale invasion, not in the 14th year, when this began the war was illegal and crimea was captured. and all diplomats understand that this was a direct violation of international law and of course they understand history. they remember how the second world war began, so they expect from russian diplomats who are actually propagandists, they are mosen diplomats , words of some kind of understanding that they are going somewhere it doesn't make any sense at all, it's a shame, let's say that in the second year of a large-scale war, in the 9th year of a general war, it's actually the 20th anniversary of the rule of this tyrant who threatens

the light and constantly nuclear weapons, but the west is still i still haven't figured out how to talk to him, but if we talk about the pope, we're not just talking about the fact that he's just a pontiff and a person who articulated his opinion about russian culture at the beginning of a large-scale war, he tried to act as a peacemaker, he talked about the fact that he has some kind of peace plan and that he will reconcile russia and ukraine, this is a misunderstanding of what is happening in ukraine from the head of the holy see. is this an open play on the russians , what do you think? no, i do not think that it is granasian i think there are two such important parallel worlds. let's say this is the theological world, and of course, as a representative of the great christian church, he looks at any conflict, any suffering

through his heart, and here i absolutely believe that he through sympathizes with the ukrainians, prays for peace in ukraine, this is one story, and the second story is actually like this, let’s say, you know, historical illiteracy, because to call on russians to be russians and to read peter i and catherine ii, i want to remind you that peter actually destroyed the church that was and in fact subordinated ober-e-e means as he was there to the prosecutor of the moscow church, i.e. actually took control of the moscow church . i'm not talking about what she did to ukraine during that time . yes, in fact, she was a model for the expansion

of the russian empire, especially to the south to the crimea. they failed and could not implement the greek project by capturing constantinople. according to the straits, that is, he somehow does not understand this story very well. they were definitely not holy people . moreover, catherine had more than 20 lovers, and about the sexual tastes of peter i, too, there is a great history. he mentioned dostoevsky, he also said leo tolstoy and dostoevsky, if you remember , dostoevsky, through the mouth of prince menshikov, inscribed the catholic church as the antichrist, as the one that renounced true christianity, and we always remember that russia with this perversion of the third world, which is the sin of ethnophilia and it was condemned by the ecumenical council of its time, it is the essence

of not only the russian orthodox church or the moscow orthodox church, but also those , let's say, civilians who were brought up in this cultural context and then wrote this so-called great literature, so i believe that this is simply not an understanding of the authenticity of the true depth and essence of russian culture, and these good intentions that he had were simply converted into such clumsy movements mentor, i will also say that he himself talked about the fact that he knows the situation in ukraine well from the russian ambassador to the throne, because they say that he has parents from ukraine, and therefore he understands ukraine and russia very well, and actually he gets his information this can be quickly said from there, that's why. of course, with such advisers it is difficult in the political context. i'm not talking about the theological, to be objective and understand,

so we painfully perceive the idea of ​​joint prayer, for example, of ukrainian women and russian women, and then there were a few more too such the people who were outraged in heaven. it's just ukrainians, but including our catholic community against the background of these things about great russia , the economy, the world economy, in one way or another, affects the fortunes of russian oligarchs, and we see that the sanctions that were introduced and combined states of america and countries of the european union, they act, but not in such a way as to destroy the russian economy, but the combined fortunes of the richest businessmen in russia increased by 32 billion dollars at the

beginning of the year. alikperov, did the capital grow by more than 7 billion dollars, reaching 22 billion dollars? these calculations were made by russian ordinary economists based on data from the bloomberg rating . one of the main owners of nornickel , volodymyr patanin, who at the beginning of the year increased his fortune by 1 billion dollars to 20- 9 billion dollars does this mean, mr. alexander, that the sanctions do not work against the russian oligarchs, or they work , but they bypass them and still they acquire additional capital, well, 30 billion plus for the russian oligarchs during russian-ukrainian war well, it seems like an impressive number, well, you know, first of all , i wouldn't call them oligarchs because in their pure form but in ukraine there were oligarchs who converted money into political power political power money in the russian federation for mr.

putin nobody of these people who are on the top list of influence, there is no such person, i do not convert his money. well, it is possible that there is kovalchuk with his ideas that ukraine, ukrainians and russians are one people , and so on, but for sure he does not convert into political power, what he has is the second point, you you know, from the very beginning, from the 14th year, the strategy of primarily the americans, but also the europeans, is still corrupt, it was so common, the sanctions were aimed at causing a little pain to the russians, but more . in order to show that we have reserves, we can build up and scale this pain and that's exactly why stop not doing any nonsense. this was one approach, or rather one element, the second element - it was the mandatory agreement of sanctions between both sides of the atlantic, and this is a very important principle that still remains for washington, at least the third moment to
