[000:00:00;00] snakes in all the top officials of the world, they comment a lot on this counteroffensive of ukraine we have heard a lot over the past two months or read in the foreign press about an unnamed source 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 placed all the dots what does anthony blinken think about the counteroffensive let's listen in the current counteroffensive we have seen real progress in the last few weeks this is what happened president zelenskyi just returned from the front that's why i had the opportunity to hear directly from him his assessment of the counteroffensive and i think it is very similar to ours which is as i said in real progress in recent weeks we will continue to stand by ukraine and

we are announcing new aid 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 p. majora says that there is real progress in the counteroffensive. could this counteroffensive be stronger if in we would have been takans if we had f16s, and can you not see the deliberate deterrence of the ukrainian army by the west, which is delaying the provision of these modern weapons? well, the f16 is no longer a modern weapon, but it is modern for us, or is there no such thing that the west is cautiously providing

weapons so that it would not be very painful for russia and for putin. well, do you know if god would prefer our offensive in the presence of additional weapons, especially with those weapons that we have been asking our partners for for months and more than a year? well, i think that this question is even rhetorical or it would obviously improve it our opportunities on the field were why our partners are so cautious in handing over weapons to us well, here there are such thoughts that they are afraid well, it is not that they are afraid to somehow offend or cross some red lines that are constantly drawn by the russian federation, they are somewhere they understand that we need to help our ukraine, but on the other hand, they don't want us, er, to defeat russia. well, that's how it happens. well, i just told about germany during the second world war or there during the first world war, and they are very afraid of that, that russia will begin to disintegrate that russia is a lot of countries with nuclear weapons. well, they are afraid that if

they act, they will start helping to transfer equipment that russia is very much there, well, she is nervous about 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 will most likely be the use of nuclear weapons, that is, they are in such an emotional tension, on the one hand, they understand that it is necessary to help, because it is different if you don't help the country that was attacked , this is for five years with all their rules and all their laws from all their history, what they have . they have their own history. they cannot but help because their own population , on the one hand, on the other hand, will not understand, on the one hand, on the other hand, these fears about a direct conflict with the russian federation, the direct

and uh, disintegration of russia into its constituent parts , is stopping them. with you know, well, you can talk about it, you can think about it. but these will be our omissions and they may be new , they will be nothing more than assumptions . that we can't give you more weapons, more and more quantity because we have to defend ourselves well and so on, here's what they say well, if we talk about the united states, they have other obligations in the pacific region besides us, there is south korea japan there are certain problems with china, well, this

is a separate, separate, separate conversation among the europeans, well, what are their threats , why do they have these weapons? if there will be a harrowing conflict in the account region between the united states and china , it is conditional to be honest, it was created not against the soviet union, it was created by the sports of germany, because it appeared that, after leveling up, germany would start building again from the third and fourth years, and then it turned out differently, and the same germany joined nato, and you are the ones who agree the alliance became, well, it took place, but why did it develop and why did it arm itself with whom they were going to fight, they were going to fight, well, this is deterrence, it is possible with others who

work with words from the soviet union, and now from which it is the successors, i.e. additional things are going on with the following persons of the president, it is quite clear why they need health, who if they kept saying something , we are picking up, i will jump on a big account they were preparing for war to restrain the russian federation if it starts some kind of aggressive in one how it started once again you have weapons what do we if again, we were going to defeat russia with whom to collect rights from european countries , why do you want to protect yourself from god from the russian federation, it already knows , let's go, give us weapons, we will defeat it in general, there will be no need for any problems with such a large amount of weapons, no one will screw your hands so that you are a small percentage , it is allocated to er, for defense, to be here, there

, build stadiums, what do you want to do, parks, you yourself, the whole issue will be resolved before you arrive , years ago, the end of time. here is a photo, as they say, stop at the situation, it is composed precisely in how to deal with it well, it seems to me that we need to continue our tlomato comedic means of convincing our friends, allies , partners that it is necessary to constantly not just stop us at some of the stop where they are now means territories, well this is the kind as many say in a few years this state can be destroyed from him russia must be destroyed on this optimistic note and we will finish our conversation thank you mr. hetman to you now again it 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 as well as on our youtube platforms and on facebook for those who are currently watching us live on youtube. we will conduct a survey and ask you about the following: do you support the idea of ​​immediately opening the electronic declarations of officials, and your option? please write in the comments . spencer is a retired major of the united states of america army , wait, now, let's see how on september 8 the world celebrates the day of solidarity of the world heritage cities in ukraine, many architectural monuments are under the protection of unesco, but this does not save them from the actions of the russian all according to the official data of the organization, since the beginning of the full-scale war, 236

objects of historical , religious and artistic significance have been damaged. are in the zone that is included in the world heritage of unesco to date, after the shelling that took place on july 20-23 and also on august 14, specialists of the odesa city council hm are conducting an examination and ak e-e create acts of damage. this especially applies to monuments of cultural heritage. on july 23 in odesa, a russian rocket hit the main temple of the city. it suffered significant damage, especially the roof. the rocket passed through all floors of the building. now workers are engaged in repair work, which includes covering the damaged of the 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 conservation process today. can you hear the roof there? they are preparing a film under the membrane to protect the cathedral from the rain, the city authorities, justifying the not very fast pace of restoration, refer to the imperfection of the legislation in accordance with our legislation, 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 ones, now the church is conserving the cathedral with its own efforts, with no help from odessans regarding restoration works in the historical center of the city, ambiguous

literally yesterday in the city, we passed in the cathedral uh, i see that uh, it's not so scary anymore how it was, um, everything is being done, everything is being restored, that i know, everything is very sad and sad, they're still waiting for some kind of money to get it restored well, at your own expense, eh well, this will be minimal. that's why everyone is waiting for grants. nobody knows when they will be and what 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... e is planning its attacks from odesa arina nebohid 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, mr. major

, congratulations and glad to see you on our air thank you , glad to be on the air again mr. major for the past two days we we see the assessment of the ukrainian counteroffensive 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 west did not expect such results, they did not such quick results according to you, could these results have been even faster if ukraine had received long-range atakams missiles and f16 aircraft, deliveries of more tanks

, more armored vehicles, of course we understand that all this was much faster, we understand that the amount of weapons, of course, has a large significance on the battlefield, as well as the speed with which the counteroffensive advances, why do you think it is holding back these supplies, is it on purpose , or do western countries lack weapons and are delaying 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 long-range missile 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 from the current internal situation in the country in what way they are trying to continue to actually help ukraine until the war is over in the last two months since the withdrawal of russia grain agreement, we see a rather difficult situation in the black sea . the black sea is not russian. the black sea is not ukrainian - it is a common sea of ​​various 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 in order to create these grain corridors and secure, including , their ships that will transport various goods to the black sea waters and allow putin

to be an outright pirate, why these international waters cannot be used to create such corridors, and putin is actually allowed to do such 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 that some people want not to anger putin and we are the kind of people who talk about it, they don’t want an escalation, and that’s why other crimean turkey acts as a moderator, and in order to prolong such a-a-agreement, but it’s not possible

to do it like that, quite a lot happened this week an unfortunate event, to say the least, in romania, a part of a russian drone that attacked the port infrastructure of ukraine fell on the romanian coast, at first the romanians 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 the number of similar incidents in our program since the beginning of the great russian-ukrainian war, when either missiles or drones fall into the territory of the countries of the north atlantic alliance, but these countries have never once made a request

to other representatives of nato and they did not convene an extraordinary meeting of the nato committee, why do you think these countries are afraid, why do they not talk about what is coming to their territory, that is, although indirectly, these russian munitions are falling on their territory, so in reality the situation is difficult and even if the country denies the fact that russia is causing damage on the territory of a nato member country, they did not plan to stop on the territory of ukraine, but now we actually see that hmm there is such a certain complex system network in which involved many countries and we see that this is such a mutually coordinated system of putin's intimidation, which actually operates on a global

scale. putin is waging a vicious war in ukraine, but it also extends to other countries , but i think that the country reacts in this way, in particular , because of internal politics, and if e- maybe they are not afraid of escalation, maybe they are afraid of the involvement of nato, if with nato countries it is absolutely clear what they are afraid of. then what is elon musk afraid of, about whom cnn reports and they write that he foiled the attack on sevastopol in 2022, that is, he turned off 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 about

the fact that he was embarrassed that these drones are attacking the ukrainian territory and because of this putin will press the button of nuclear weapons uh, you can understand the logic of ilon mask and is this an excuse for him well, let's say so this is how he treated ukrainians and the devices he handed over to us, of course i can't talk about what's going on in ilona mask's head , why does he behave like that? the information he receives , and in particular when it comes to the free press and the like, sometimes he gets false information, and that's why he

somehow reacts. played a huge role, provided huge help to the ukrainian armed forces, and therefore, in fact, now the only thing to say is that i would recommend him to look for the truth, the truth, from the side of the free and free press of change, this is the situation and to me, because the armed forces really rely a lot on the starlinks, this is was such a savior for your military, but i really think that despite the reputation that he has now acquired, he is still guided by certain values, he is actually convinced that the genocide in ukraine

it is impossible and the future of crimea is a question that is quite important 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 kherson zaporozhye, donetsk luhansk oblasts and crimea they should leave russia the former special representative of the united states of america in ukraine, kurt volker, also spoke about the prospects of how the liberation of crimea should take place . let's listen to what he said. understands what the liberation of the peninsula means for ukraine, they imagine marines running on the beach under heavy artillery fire, this is not what you should imagine , it is about cutting off the russian occupation forces so that they cannot support themselves there , but it will not be successful and viable if it is cut off from the russian

supply lines only through natural geography it will be connected to the ukrainian center p major please tell me what you think about in what way when and how ukraine can release crimea, we know that it is a peninsula, but volker says that in general , let's make an island and then the russians will not escape from it, especially since in history there have already been these escapes through the crimea by many armies and they all ended by the 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, in particular, ben godis, a

retired general, how important it is to liberate crimea, that is, the freedom of crimea must be fought for when ukraine approaches this the moment when it will be on the verge, when the ukrainian military will stand on the crimean land, then the russians will have a choice: either they die in the crimean territory or they flee, and it will really be this horizon of such a perspective is approaching, you said yes, it is half an island and it is his it is very easy and from logistical supplies from russia, ukraine has made a decision and no one in the world has the right to indicate in ukraine what they have to win back and how or what concessions they

should make, even when we are talking about taught of negotiations, ukraine will sit down at the negotiating table when it is ready, when it will be beneficial for it , but when we talk about crimea, of course, it is important for ukraine to conduct the operation correctly so that the russian military cannot be there. what to do with russia, that is, with this russia that we now know, how to limit putin's predatory moods and appetites because putin threatens the whole world putin threatens europe putin threatens the baltic countries he says that everything should be in the world only as it will be agreed in the kremlin , well, conditionally speaking, everything must necessarily pass a visa to putin, or is it ready according to your approach to the fact that at some point, putin simply will not become

physically or in what way he will be removed from power, including thanks to our western partners, 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 receive this haunted country in his hands and prevent this country from using nuclear weapons and starting the fourth or third world war, i think there should be some direct action from the west. putin himself is destroying his country, we see what the internal situation is like in russia, we saw how the wagnerites rebelled and that similar, any action of putin weakened russia, it weakens it every day

. yes, there are certain things that a collective measure can do in order to reduce its dependence on russian resources, on russian energy carriers, and so on. 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 putin's future kleptocratic actions will be but you see that he did a great job of destroying his country to weaken his people he cut off russia from financial support, e.e. russia is now in international isolation , e.e. now we see how russian exports to other countries have decreased, russian assets are frozen , mr. major, according to you

, according to your estimates. the russian federation asks, er, their economy, their military-industrial complex, well, in the end, their political leadership is a question and it is very difficult to make any predictions for the future er, to be honest, i want to say that we see what the losses of the russians are , but putin does not care at all they hide the canteens, they don't tell their people how many actually died , so considering the military-industrial complex on economic development, you can say that the war can last for years, but it all depends on

what their reserves are and what he appeals 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 last, 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 status but i don't know and can't tell and no one will tell you how long they can last thank you mr. major for being part of our program i wish you all the best this was john spencer major united states army retired friends we continue our broadcast live on the espresso tv channel as well as on our social networks and on the youtube platform for those who are currently watching us on youtube please like this video subscribe to our youtube page well and join
