of harry potter, the one who translated all the books about the boy wizard, in particular, today there was a lecture called the struggle for freedom from the upa to the zsu and there historian volodymyr vyatrovych presented his book to the upa , the history of the unconquered, we have the opportunity to ask him about the presentation. of the rebel army, it tells precisely about the struggle of ukrainians for independence and freedom in the years of the second world war and the first post-war years about the struggle against the nazis , the struggle against the communists . makes it possible to understand why ukrainians now have the power to act against why ukrainians are inspired to fight at a time when many of our

allied players in the world believed that ukraine was not will hold out against russian aggression. here is such a forum of publishers , in particular , you have been at it for more than one day. tell me why it is so important to hold such fests from publishers where the publishers are present , not the book. which everyone probably missed a lot large-scale e-e by the number of publishers by the number of readers by the number of authors it is incredibly good what is happening in the discussion on several levels in the discussion about how the state should what can to do in order for the ukrainian book market to develop, discussions between authors and readers. discussions between those who sell books have not actually happened in ukraine for a long time . the most important thing is obviously that here you can see a lot of new things. as far as i know , some kind of symbolic transformation has taken place. we are next to the old book market , which petrivka was called petrivka, dmytro petrivka was renamed pochaivna , and the book market of petrivka was transformed into pochaivna and became a truly

large ukrainian book market, i.e. this what we have been seriously striving for for a long time. now we see the potential of the ukrainian book, so thank you for the organization , come and listen to the lecturers, i will definitely join in and tell you about the details of the festival anya thank you for the information from the capital dmytro didora in detail about the kyiv book fest meanwhile i remind you about the important collection of the espresso tv channel and the vesna charity fund are collecting funds for the purchase of modern drones for our uav scouts, which are needed by the 23rd separate rifle battalion of the armed forces , which is fighting in the hot donetsk direction in particular, this is mavik-3 about mavic 3t mikadze drone and components for them our goal is 1 million 900,000 uah thanks to you we have already collected almost

continues an important and extremely difficult offensive campaign in the south, deters the enemy in the north , the further situation on at the level of the front, its development depends both on the skill and courage of our soldiers and on the position and readiness of our partners to provide further long-term assistance to ukraine beyond the 23rd year and beyond, on their ability to realistically assess threats and to determine that only the complete defeat of russia on the battlefield is an extremely important component for better security realities both for ukraine and for europe itself. the ability to defend and attack, we will talk about all this in the next edition of our new program on the espresso channel with our leading experts

. my name is serhii zgurets. i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which, together with kanalamis, strives highlight the most relevant defense industry and military trends, and now oleksiy ezhik, expert of the national institute of strategic studies, oleksiy i congratulate you , i am glad to see and hear you. you outlined your own vision of the stage at which our war with the russian federation is now in terms of the enemy's goals and capabilities, respectively, and our goals and capabilities now, in principle

it is obvious that there are obvious things that are breaking through those fortifications that russia has been building for a very long time, for at least half a year, and much more, de facto, in august of last year , the lines began to be rebuilt when they had already decided that they would try to get certain territories but now with great difficulty, everything is happening , the breakthrough is known there, at least the first line has been broken, the second line is being broken through, and there is a discussion about how strong the third line is in the east near bakhmut, the slow advance and containment of groups of russian troops so that they could not transfer from there. well, maintaining the defense closer to the south with the task of preventing or breaking through and allowing russian forces to transfer to cover the breakthrough that is planned there. and thanks

to the fact that this breakthrough is a breakthrough, it is close close, its parameters are already understood well, the attitudes of our partners are changing regarding how ukraine carried out this operation, there was a lot of dissatisfaction on the part of our partners, but it seems that rather ukraine convinced the partners that everything is correct was done during the last months than the other way around, which is wrong , still, still, it seems to me that the tactics that were chosen at the beginning are better. midnight in order for us to have a bite contrary to the vision well, it was necessary to break through this defense with large, large corps operations, but where to try when there is no

aviation, well, this was really a reality completely different from what nato and american military experts were planning at one time, but if we move on, then just a few days ago there was a visit to kyiv where shakhtar of the united states blinkin, in fact, a visit of this level implies some important things, but what was said publicly cardinally important it does not seem to you do you have an understanding of what exactly is important that such high officials could have discussed behind the scenes and what the relations between the united states and ukraine look like now, or is it possible to expect a change in this paradigm, which was, well, at the beginning, well, in the first months of the hostilities, what can be said that ukraine did not lose, and that russia did not win, doesn't it seem that these paradigms for current situations, well , in particular, for ukraine, it seems, well, not enough

. well, yes it is not enough, but the united states is a united state, and it must be taken into account that it is our main partner, without which nothing is possible . but the united states has its own vision. now it seems to me that the united states is already entering the electoral cycle already, well, all american officials are already looking at the future elections and they are synchronizing this war of attrition, as they see it, synchronizing it with the elections that will be held, well, accordingly , the administration is looking at what will happen it is important that putin considers a victory what ukraine considers a victory, and that the ukrainian elections will be considered a victory by american voters when, well, when the active process begins in

the united states, it is important for the participants race, someone wants the united states to uh, so that the image of the victory of ukraine, according to joseph biden, was not so brilliant , for example, on the contrary, the administrations want it to be brilliant, but taking into account the situation on the battlefield of what ukraine can do with the limitation that first of all no one will fight for ukraine on the field, it will not happen once or twice, no american weapons will be used outside of ukraine, but within the framework of this paradigm, they are one and the same. the united states is trying to understand what kind of victories there are in the foreseeable future, ukraine can reach and, accordingly, on what well, i think, after all, there is a lot of definitions and terms regarding political processes , of course, for the united states, it would be ideal if ukraine achieved a certain result, which could be said to be a sure victory, certain well, it is possible

not the whole territory, but i am confident that i will still hold elections to consolidate and show that ukraine is a democracy that, no matter what , supports its democratic procedures and achieves results on the battlefield. i think, well, this is too perfect a picture, and here it is necessary to decide either elections or victory, well, at least that’s how it seems to me, uh, from the middle of ukraine , well, this picture looks like. well, there are discussions about this , and of course, besides this picture, what is needed ? well, no the picture and the result that the united states need in order to continue the aid and pass the normal elections, it's all connected. they can't give aid if they can't come normally .

of course trust this is a very big layer that we saw in the background on the background on the background of all these events visits visits of the heads of anti-corruption bodies to the united states then personnel changes it looks like there will be more personnel changes and in general well the events surrounding what we call what perceived as corruption. all these things are also important for the united states. it has always been important and now it is important because it is important for voters and important for their apparatus, and it seems to me. i agree with this opinion. observers in the fact that the united states is trying now they are looking for the umbilical cord that possibly still connects ukraine with russia and they are trying to cut it somewhere, they do not rule out that there is corruption somewhere in this wretched swamp, there is some umbilical cord that

is still somehow attached binds ukraine to russia and affects the ukrainian well, in the end, this is a question of trust between ukraine and the connected states. well, these are the questions of elections, er, elections of trust. well, of course, there is a matter of protocol that concerns the visit of the president of ukraine to new york events related to the un, there will be a special meeting of the security council where, of course, there will be all high-ranking officials, of course there will be meetings with the well, i think it will also be a meeting that the president of ukraine has actual officials . including in preparation for peace or another event that revolves around this idea. that's all . and it was discussed what was said

. perceived these statements about corruption as the fact that in principle it has such a continuation, uh, regarding the policy that is pronounced there by people around saliva, in order to somehow create the preconditions for not so actively providing military aid to ukraine, because he remains conditionally speaking a supporter of acting gradually to ensure such a gradual escalation, a controlled escalation , and the issue of corruption was another such lever of influence on the part of the americans on what is happening in ukraine, or really now the issue of corruption, which is now not on the front pages, can affect the provision of military aid to ukraine , no, i don’t think it directly affects it, it affects the general policy, yes indeed. i agree with the fact that the issue of corruption has been politicized, it is often politicized and why if you look at ukraine

and in ukraine, who does not fight corruption there? and how does it happen later when everything changes and it also changes ? others well, of course, there are many strange things here, but there is a question. if we talk about personnel changes related to corruption, this is ukraine , correctly, it is already a personnel issue, and if there are claims or or well, if some personnel in ukraine in high positions interfere with relations with the united states or there there are any claims, it's not just political corruption , it means that there is mistrust, i don't rule out that it's just uh, according to the term corruption, well, in principle , what is corruption in english?

well, it can mean anything. it means that a person is not whole as a statesman. he has some problems. this corruption is from the american point of view, and if they are, it is related to certain personnel changes in ukraine. well, not only personnel in general there in relation to fruitful persons and relations with the united states, it means that it is not just salted, it means that the american debt state has a certain certain mistrust towards a certain part well , towards a certain part of the ukrainian elites and officials that they have claims there are claims they do not trust certain people and they have on this is the reason, it is not necessarily the fact that a person takes a bribe, an opportunity, something else. that's why i think it's, well, still much more serious in general. so this concept of corruption, well, corruption , it must be understood. so when our partners say corruption, it's corruption, if the country is corrupt, what

something in her critical er systems is corrupted well , it makes no sense to help them, that's why it's important, they tried to help different countries many times in the united states, and then it turned out er, they don't want a repeat of iraq, they don't want a repetition of afghanistan, where they discovered that there was corruption inside, how much help, nothing works. therefore, this issue is important for them, and it is not only politicized, there is also a component system, that is, in fact, now, in the economy, there was an interview with this head of the intelligence analytical department of the us ministry of defense, he is there really said that we miscalculated both in afghanistan and in cancer with the assessment of the potential and their elite ’s ability to resist. and here you are also talking about the fact that now they are blowing, they are saying that they are on the water and they are afraid that suddenly such a model were hiding in ukraine, then this means that the pressure on the ukrainian political elite from

the united states will increase, but it will not affect the supply of military aid, but still the issue of military aid , because there is such an approach told the introduction that well, we need such a powerful victory on the battlefield, which is the basis for, well , for a certain time, some kind of secure existence, in a certain period of time, this victory is possible only with maximum military assistance from the united states, but this assistance is the impression comes in smaller portions than the video, we would like it, i am repeating general things, but there is part of the truth here, because without it we cannot ensure qualitative changes on the battlefield, is it really one of the components of american politics that is preserved in order to ensure, in particular, that if the destruction of russia is consistent with the change of leadership in the russian federation, but without the presentation of russia as a state, because in this case the united states

faces a number of challenges, and these challenges look much more serious to them than the course of the war in such a controlled, long-term version, er, the question of russia remains important, but i think that there is no need to think that the united states is too afraid of something. it seems to me that they are not afraid of anything, well, they are afraid of something, but they are more likely to be afraid than to be afraid, they just have such a thing well philosophical vision of the world that it is not necessary to push countries to disintegration, there were well , you can literally say that in recent times , only one exception was kosovo. when they decided to recognize kosovo, it happened after that. in general, they did not even recognize the former yugoslavia collapsed only when germany said that we want these entities to disappear and take

them to the european union in parts, but only then did the united states support the disintegration of a certain country, and then serbia, well, coconut because of well, the question is frankly promicil today what has been observed, it is a very exceptional situation when the united states supports the schedule of any country, it seems to me that it does not correspond to theirs, and therefore i do not think that they will ever push russia or to plan something what will make the dispersion there disintegrate, they will sooner well of course they will be interested in politics but now i think because they well they do not know finally how it will be there and with whom it will be there there are certain parameters that would not be considered well, in principle , two parameters it seems to me two strategies or after all putin is better than others because everything else is completely bad or the option that what could be bad if it is weaker than

putin then it is also to ensure stability but russia will not be so aggressive that is also it is acceptable, in the end, no one is going to build democracy in russia anymore, sir , i am building duplexes, they will not be built anymore, but it seems to me that such a situation as it is now, in general, is the policy of the united states of the united states to russia. the situation in russia in a year will be considered not in a year. well, in a year it will be considered victorious by the american voters, so what will it be? it’s just that russia would have troops, or it would become weaker there, but it would start negotiations about disarmament, based on those considerations, so that the image of russia would look victorious. for the united states , this is not a policy aimed at this, but it must be understood that for american voters

, it seems to me that it is important for them that no additional risks are created, and that the collapse of russia is there is a risk of some kind of instability in russia, this is a risk of some refugees from russia, that is why they will probably try to preserve the stability of russian, but within the limits of what ukraine can achieve, actually, there are two there are two such things that the united states seems to me not to understand, and for that reason it does not go to limka to understand what ukraine can achieve and, accordingly, from this they can build that policy towards russia so that, er, so that it is preserved in some form, but not so aggressive as it was then the question arises as to what ukraine can achieve ukraine can achieve according to the forces and means at its disposal if you have fewer means we achieve

less it is the paradigm of the united states that these events in ukraine are in the format of the ukrainian-russian war. they were somehow incorporated and, as you said at the beginning, into the election campaign of the united states so that it would not lead to crises, and then one can say that ukraine's cardinal successes can also cause such the risks predicted by the americans, what the russians say. now they will use tactical weapons there, this is the call of a cascade effect, then let the ukrainians take their time, and this means that then, relatively speaking, our advance in the south is now one way or another, it is pressed into the political reality that does not depend on us. well, i think it will be as we want, but with what you said, what we receive from our partners does not depend on us, and to a large extent it does not it depends on the weapons we receive, it is obvious that aviation will not be obvious soon that we will have to bite through a lot of blood, but

when we bite through and reach melitopol and beyond and i think there is already, well, no one will be able to stop ukraine well, i mean, what is there where melitopol is there and giankoi is there after all there is no such big difference anymore, but there are things that the united states cannot influence, they can influence the framework, and it is unfortunately so that they slow down the supply of weapons because they do not understand how it will be if ukraine quickly wins they just don't understand what it will be. and in the end such a risk will suddenly happen , just like with leopards, they came across these strengthened certifications and found that they are so effective and in the end the commercial value of leopards falls, something is needed there the same thing can be changed with airplanes, they were provided but the pilots were not persuaded a little or something

was not added and it will turn out to be not so effective, there are always these risks, but they
