[000:00:00;00] or their parents or grandfathers evicted this family, well, that’s right, by the way, of course, of course, the major is now a top topic in all the world’s media and among all the top officials of the world, it’s the counteroffensive of ukraine, they comment a lot. we heard a lot during the last for two months or read in the foreign press on unnamed sources in the pentagon in the state department what they think there and then the secretary of state of the united states of america anthony blinken came to ukraine and ticked all the boxes what anthony blinken thinks about the counteroffensive, we will listen in to the current counteroffensive, we have seen real progress over the past few weeks. it so happened that president zelenskyi has just returned from the front. therefore, i had the opportunity to hear directly from him his assessment

of the counteroffensive, and i think it is very similar to ours, which consists, as i said, in real progress over the last week, we will continue to stand by ukraine and we are announcing new assistance totaling more than a billion dollars. as part of our joint efforts, in particular, 655 and a half million in the field of military and civil security the secretary of state of the united states of america majora says that progress in the counteroffensive is real .

is delaying the provision of these modern weapons, well life 16 - these are no longer modern weapons, but they are modern for us, or is there no such thing as, uh, so far, the west is careful to provide us with weapons so that it does not hurt too much for many countries with nuclear weapons, this is a game staring if they will actively begin to help, well, to transfer equipment that russia is very much there, well, it is wrong with the truth of the transfer of such equipment that it can provoke a conflict directly between nato countries and the russian federation - they believe that this is the third world war and there are many risks because it is faster than everything will be the use of nuclear weapons, that is, they stand in such an emotional tension, on the one hand, they understand that it is necessary to help, because it is different if you do not help the country that was attacked, it is a contradiction with all their rules with all

by their laws from all their history, which they have they have their own history they have their own history well, these countries too, i wish democracy would develop, how should all this happen in the world, they cannot help but help because their own population, on the one hand , will not understand on the other hand, these fears about a conflict directly with the russian federation and about the disintegration of russia into its constituent parts stop them, they are in such a stretch and how will they get out of it, you know? well, you can talk about it, you can think about it. such will be our omissions and they may be well, but they will be no more than assumed and we may be somewhat mistaken, my personal point of view is that these excuses of our partners , especially from europe, that we cannot transfer more weapons to you more and more quantity because we you have to defend yourself. well, and so on, that's what they say. well, if we talk about the united states, they have other obligations besides us

. the pacific region has south korea , japan. there are certain problems with china, well, that's separate. separately separately, the europeans have a conversation, what are their threats , why do they have these weapons? by the united states, conditional and by china. so what are the tanks for, for example, germany, how are they? where are they going to ride them ? oh, and you also have to remember that how they were created , to be honest, in the beginning, they were created not against the soviet union. it was created by a politician elevated because they were afraid that again the rivne mood that germany would start again the third things the third ray

how to build and then it turned out in a different way and the same germany joined nato and it was you with- and such the alliance became well happened but for what did he develop and why did he arm himself with whom were they going to fight they were going to fight well this is deterrence can be called other beautiful words precisely from the soviet union and now from which it is completely clear why do they need health what if they they constantly said that we are choosing by a large scale. they were preparing for war to restrain the russian federation. if she starts any aggressive actions, she started them. once again, you have weapons, what will we do if we defeat russia again? who are you collecting rights with

? do you want to learn this from the one from the russian federation , it is already with it in a different way, give us weapons we will defeat it at all, there will be no need for any problems with such a large amount of weapons, no one will screw your hands because you are small a percentage is allocated for defense to be here and there to build stadiums who wants to make parks yourself, all the issues will be resolved by the coming years 50%. that's why there are photos here, as they say, stop the situation , it is made up precisely in how to deal with it. well, it seems to me that we need to continue to break it with a comedic means against convincing our friends , allies, partners that in the topic , because we need to officially not just stop us on some of them to stop where they are now, that means territories, well, it's you

as many say in a few years it is possible from him, this state must be destroyed russia must be destroyed on this optimistic note we will end our conversation thank you, mr. hetman, you now again this was oleksiy hetman , a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war and a major of the national guard of ukraine in the reserve, friends we are working live on the espresso tv channel also on our youtube and facebook platforms for those who are currently watching us live on youtube we will conduct a survey and ask you the following do you support the idea immediate opening of electronic declarations of officials, and your option, please write in the comments . well, we will be in touch with johnspenser - this is a retired major of the united states of america army , and now, through the story, please, let's see how the world celebrates the day of solidarity of cities on september 8 world or not, in ukraine there are many monuments

of architecture and under the protection of unesco, but this does not save them from the action of russian aggression, according to the official data of the organization, since the beginning of the full-scale war, 236 objects that have historical, religious and let's look at the artistic significance of this in our story. after two massive attacks on the city center of odessa, about fifty monuments of architecture were damaged in the area that is included in the unesco world heritage site . today, after the shelling that took place on july 20-23 and also on august 14, experts of the odessa city council conduct an examination and ak e-e create acts of damage, especially this applies to monuments of cultural heritage , on july 23 in odessa, a russian rocket hit

the main temple of the city, it suffered significant damage damage, especially the roof, the rocket passed through all floors of the building, now the workers are engaged in repair work, which includes covering the damaged roof to protect the temples from rain and other precipitation at the time of the explosion, the entire roof was damaged, the entire roof, the entire roof, and all the copper is in the process of conservation today, are you or do you hear? there, a roof is being prepared under a film under a membrane to protect the cathedral from rain. the city authorities , justifying the not very fast pace of recovery, refer to the imperfection of the legislation in accordance with our the legislation on the work and restoration of these objects rests with the owners and this applies to various types of ownership of these

buildings and private and state and communal. now the church preserves the cathedral on its own with no help from the people of odessa regarding the restoration work in the historic center of the city . literally yesterday in the city, we held the cathedral uh, i see that uh, it's not so scary anymore how was it, um, everything is being done, everything is being restored, no, i don't see it at all, and the special thing is that i know that everything is very sad, sad, they are all waiting for some kind of money we receive it in order to restore it at our own expense. well, everything will be done minimally. that's why everyone is waiting for grants . nobody knows when the consequences of the next shelling will be. we see that the damage is quite large and large-scale throughout the central part of the city and

unfortunately, the aggressor does not look at the unesco map when he plans his attacks from odesa, arina, a skyscraper for the espresso tv channel, the verdict program is in progress, and we have john spencer, a military expert, a retired united states army major, and i congratulate you and glad to see you on our air thank you glad to be on the air again p major during the last two days we see an assessment of the ukrainian offensive from the mouths of the nato secretary general from toltenberg and the secretary of state of the united states of america blinkin both say that the counteroffensive exceeds expectations that the event i did not expect such results, they are not such fast results according to yours , could these results be even faster if

ukraine received long-range atakams missiles and f16 aircraft, delivery of more tanks more armored vehicles, of course we understand that all this was much faster, we understand that the amount of weapons is of course of great importance on the battlefield, as well as the speed with which the counteroffensive advances, why do you think the west is holding back these deliveries, is it on purpose , or do western countries lack weapons and are delaying with this, any decision is a political decision made by the parliament

of a specific country, of course , the actual political situation that exists inside the country also affects when we talk about missiles long-range attacks and other asystems, of course, all possible risks are taken into account, in particular, and the risks of escalation, they understand what can be expected from the putin regime, but also all this decision depends on the current internal situation in the country, in what way they are trying to continue to actually help ukraine until the war is over. months since russia withdrew from the grain agreement, we see a rather difficult situation in the black sea the black sea is not russian the black sea is not in ukrainian, this is a common sea of ​​different states, including the states that are members of the north atlantic alliance, bulgaria, romania, and turkey, why do you

think the north atlantic alliance does not take appropriate steps to create these grain corridors and secure, including, their ships that will transport various goods in the black sea water area and allow putin to be an outright pirate, why can’t these international waters be used to create such corridors and putin is actually allowed to do this arbitrariness, there is no excuse why, and the un, as well as the agreements that were aimed at appeasing putin, actually freed putin's hands, so there are certain calculations regarding the risk

, some people want not to anger putin. turkey acts as a moderator, and in order to prolong such an agreement, but it cannot be done like this, this week a rather unpleasant event happened in romania, to say the least , a part of a russian drone that attacked fell on the romanian coast. the port infrastructure of ukraine, the romanians at first said that this did not happen, then it turned out that this drone detonated on the territory of romania. a few days ago, we showed in our program the number of similar incidents since the beginning of the great russian-ukrainian war, when either missiles or drones fall into the territory

of the countries members of the north atlantic alliance , but never once did these countries make a request to other nato representatives and did not convene an extraordinary meeting of the nato committee why according to you, these countries are afraid. why don't they talk about what is coming to their territory, that is, although indirectly, these russian munitions fall on their territory later, so in reality the situation is complicated, and even if the country denies the fact that it happened, the fact that russia is causing damage on the territory member countries of nato, they did not plan to stop on the territory of ukraine

, but now we actually see that there is a certain complex system network in which many countries are involved, and we see that it is such a mutually coordinated system putin's intimidation, which actually operates on a global scale, putin is not only waging a far-reaching war in ukraine , but it will spread to other countries, but i think that the country reacts this way, in particular, because of internal politics, and if it is possible that they are not afraid of escalation , perhaps they are afraid of the involvement of nato if with the nato countries, it is absolutely nice what are they afraid of? so what is elon musk afraid of then, about whom cnn reports and they write that he foiled the attack on sevastopol in 2022 , that is, he disabled the starlinks, sea drones

went to the shores of occupied crimea and elon musk according to cnn, referring to a passage in the biography of the mask, which was written by walter isaacson, by the way, this is the same one who wrote about jobs' singing as a book, so actually elon musk was afraid of a nuclear war for some reason, he said that he was embarrassed that these drones were attacking ukrainian territory and because of this, putin will press the nuclear weapons button, you can understand the logic of ilon mask. and is it you, so that he, let’s say , treated the ukrainians and those devices that he handed over to us, of course, i can’t speak about what is going on in ilona mask's head, why is he behaving

like this? i think that in the end, er, i think that he is guided by certain values . it seems to me to be false information, and that is why he somehow reacts in this way. this is exactly how ukraine completely relies on starlinks, and at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, starlinks played a huge role , they provided huge assistance to the ukrainian armed forces, and that is why in fact, now the only thing to say is that let me. i would recommend him to look

for the truth, the truth from the side of the free and free press of change. in spite of the reputation that he will now acquire, he is still guided by certain values, he is actually convinced that genocide in ukraine is impossible, and the future of crimea is an important enough issue for ukraine, because the russians offer or through their mediators, peace in exchange for the occupied and annexed territories , they say that we are ready for peace , but accept the new territorial reality, part of the kherson zaporozhye, donetsk luhansk regions and crimea. to ukraine, kurt walker , let's listen to what he said. some people

misunderstand what the liberation of the peninsula means for ukraine. artillery is not what you need to imagine, it is about cutting off the russian occupation forces so that they cannot support themselves there , besides, it will not be successful and viable if it is cut off from the russian supply lines only because of natural geography, it will be connected to the ukrainian center p major say any laska, what do you think about in what way, when and how ukraine can liberate crimea, we know that it is a peninsula, but kurt volker is talking about what in general let's make an island and then the russians will not go anywhere from it will flee, especially since in history there have already been these escapes through crimea by many armies and they all ended by sea. it is very important to emphasize

that crimea is ukraine and the international community recognizes this. russia illegally occupied crimea and annexed it, and i want to say that in particular, ben hodges and the retired general , how important is it to liberate crimea, i.e., the freedom of crimea must be fought for when ukraine approaches this moment, when it will be on the brink, when the ukrainian military will stand on crimean land, then the russians will have a choice either they die in the crimean territories or they flee and it will really be this horizon of such a perspective is approaching you said yes it is under the island and it is very easy and logistical supplies from

russia ukraine has made a decision and no one in the world has the right to indicate in to ukraine, what do they have to win back or what concessions should they make, even when we talk about negotiation schools ? of course, it is important for ukraine to carry out the operation correctly so that the russian military cannot be there. major, there is quite a big debate in the world about what to do with russia, that is, the russia we now know, and how to limit predatory attitudes and appetites. putin because putin threatens this world putin threatens europe putin's weapons baltic countries he says that everything should be in the world only

as it will be agreed in the kremlin, well, relatively speaking, everything must necessarily go putin's visa, is your event ready for the fact that at some point putin will simply not be physically present, or in what way will he be removed from power, including thanks to our western partners, or is it possible, is such an option being considered, or for the event it was and remains relevant that putin is a legitimate president and a legitimate president will keep this arrogant country in his hands and prevent this country from using nuclear weapons and starting a fourth or

third world war, i think there should be some direct actions from the west. putin himself is destroying his country . we see what the internal situation is like in russia . reduce its dependence on russian resources, on russian energy carriers and the like but again , the fact that russia is now putin is now addressing the leader of north korea speaks for itself, no one knows what the future actions of the future kleptocratic putin's actions, but you see that he did a great job on the top five, and in order to destroy his country, to weaken his people, he cut off russia from financial support, and

russia is now in international isolation, and now we see how russia's exports to other countries have decreased russian assets are frozen, mr. major, according to you, according to your estimates. how long can the russian federation sustain a war at this rate ? any predictions for the future, i really want to say that we see what the loss of the loss of russian women is, but putin does not care at all that they hide the canteens, they do not tell their people how many actually died, so

considering the military-industrial complex on economic development, we can say that the war can continue for years, but it all depends on what their reserves are and the fact that he turns to his allies for help. it does not seem that the war will really last so long, but we do not know how much longer it will be. continues because then he just wants to realize his own manic goals and you can say that well there is no such logic but it is clear that they are weak now weak in their current situation but i don’t know and i can’t say and no one will tell you how long they will be able to last thank you sir major to you for participating in our program. i wish you all the best. this was john spencer
