view. thank you ukrainians for your trust. espresso is working for you. the museum is a territory of terror. the jewish geth of lviv was transformed by the soviet occupiers into a prison with which the road led to the shaft . you cannot find a better example of the symbiosis of two totalitarian regimes. the nazis created this geth to destroy the jewish population of the city. to the death camps , the bolsheviks used this experience to send their prisoners, their enemies of the people , to the death camps in golovy, and today modern ukraine is attacking the regime that became

the heir to both of these totalitarian dictatorships the hateful practices of both of these people the road to auschwitz the road to the goal leads to deer the war raised its head again in europe reminding us of the darkest hours of our history franz24 constantly covers the events in ukraine our team on the ground and in the studio will inform you about the dynamics of events see the latest news from franz 24 in ukrainian on espresso, vasyl zima's big broadcast , two hours of air time, two hours of your time , two hours to learn about the war and what

the world is like, two hours to keep up with economic news and new sports, two hours in the company favorite presenters, presenters who have become like-minded to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, the events of the day in two hours , vasyl zimi's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people in the evening, nayspresso. i

welcome you to the espresso channel. reported that there is a long-term agreement that ukraine will jointly produce the necessary weapons with america. and as an example, these can be air defense systems, said zelensky of course, it is important. at the same time, on the agenda, as far as i am concerned, are weapons for today and tomorrow, financial support from the united states and security guarantees for ukraine. by the way, this was also discussed in washington, where the congress is currently considering the white house's request for additional assistance to ukraine in the amount of 24 billion dollars, during a meeting with american congressmen , volodymyr zelenskyy called on them to provide this aid to ukraine because you have no other option than this without this aid, everyone will lose, said zelenskyi, but the republicans at this time they asked about the effect of already provided aid and financial aid and they asked about

ukraine's plans for further hostilities. as for the format of the security guarantee, this is an extremely important thing, because putin has lost this hope of being able to wait out the period of unity of the leading countries of the world in supporting ukraine regarding security guarantees joe biden said that the us has begun the process of formalizing our long-term commitments to the security of ukraine together with other leaders of the g7 and other international partners, but there are not many details yet, because as we see this the process continues. so, about the aid to ukraine from the states that have fallen against the background of the visit of volodymyr zelenskyi. what strategy and decision does our presidential partner choose in his pre-election period? and how will it affect our ability to defend and advance? how will it affect the course and prospects of our war with the enemy and we will speak in the next issue

of our program on the espressos channel with leading ukrainian experts. my name is serhii zhorits, i am the director of the information consulting company defense express, which is trying to communicate through channels from the press to highlight the most relevant trends related to the security of our country, and now it is joining us valentin batrak , director of the army research center, conversion and disarmament, analytics, writer valentina congratulations, i am glad to see you on the live broadcast of the espresso channel, sergey vitau, and i am glad, as always, to be invited to this broadcast, yes i would like to start with your general evaluations of the results of zelensky's stay in washington , because before we perceived, let's still perceive, the position of the united states through the prism of assistance within such a certain framework so that russia did not win and ukraine did not lose, but it seems that this is actually not enough from the point of view of our interests, but with regard to the interests

of the united states itself. how do you evaluate the statements of the words that would have been said during the visit, well , the decision is different well, first, if you answer the question of what is the result already from the weapons provided and the aid provided, then the result is one ukraine a-a has endured and it continues to stand yes and in principle this result is satisfactory for washington yes er-e it is better for washington e for the biden administration now it is better that ukraine is standing, it is stable, it is fighting, but it is better for ukraine to win. well, for now, it is not necessary. i thought for a long time whether it was a mistake in western countries in fact

among the biden administration, whether it was deliberately done that ukraine was underarmed before the offensive and made incorrect assessments of russia and the potential of the russian defense, and i, with the potential of the ukrainian offensive, now i am inclined to believe that this was done deliberately deliberately and i want to remind you that on the first day of the visit, zelensky wrote what are we at the finish line? direct in the negotiations about the attack on the missiles, the tactical army tactical missile complexes, which are now very necessary for the ukrainian army and thanks to which ukraine would receive the sub-german taurus cruise missiles and be able to move on with the second shot , with the shooting of all logistical infrastructure centers, in particular in crimea. and this would lead to enormous pressure on putin's regime, and i do not rule out that this year could

end a hot company in general, because russian groups could generally be sprinkled with revolutionary things that have now been done research in russia that in russia a mobilized person lives on average four and a half months from the summons to his burial in the cemetery or the leaving of the corpse here on ukrainian territory, therefore, the situation was very much in favor of the ukrainian defense forces, but now we have that what we have the west has focused the west and including the biden administration has actually focused on the 24th year when ukraine will receive the first planes in 16 and when when new options will be possible maybe because sullivan very clearly

said that the issue of the attack is not closed but it may arise on the agenda later later it is probably somewhere at the level of the 24th year er and therefore evaluating the visit as a whole and the next day after zelensky said that er the question is rocketing to the finish line the next day this question is not it arose and it was already said that uh, first of all, there is a conversation about air defense, but definitely this is a very necessary conversation and from all contexts and the cover of the f-16 airfields and the cover of our decision-making centers and ultimately the protection of the civilian population, although we understand that close all it will be impossible for ukraine even if ukraine really aims to get the 50 complexes of the petriv missile defense system that zelensky once mentioned

, then the ambitions were reduced to 12 systems because it is really not possible and not realistic in the future to get such a huge number of such expensive systems , after all, ukraine has already received 76 billion dollars in aid from western partners, and the vast majority of it is from america, and from america itself, so the issue of joint production. well, for now, we need to figure out what this is for joint production, if we are talking about the possibility of a certain localization, then it will not be bad, because we know that poland literally this uh, at the end of the summer at the beginning of the fall, announced two large localization projects, in particular, poland will produce javelin anti-tank complexes and poland will produce

i have a part of himars, including missiles, and missiles. i think those are not for attacks from a , those that are used for salvo fire, eh, and eh, will produce parts of himers launchers. i will say that if poland is now receiving 45 missiles and also 100. it would be very good if the ukrainian authorities and the americans worked with poland to ensure that ukraine received these 45 missiles, and poland, in turn, moved further. unfortunately , the reactive diplomacy of the ukrainian authorities it failed for the second time. the first time it was with israel, we know that the relations with poland are now very bad. that is why we need to think about it , because, actually , washington made poland the main bridgehead in europe, and

here ukraine could claim to jointly to do certain things with poland and to advance further precisely in the localization of production, at the moment it is not known what kind of production it will be, but i want to remind you that ukraine has not yet announced or wanted to advance military-technical cooperation, so far no joint venture with unfortunately, an agreement was reached with turkey in the 18th year on the creation of a joint enterprise black sea shield, but the situation did not go any further. the authorities did not manage to achieve a real result and overcome disagreements and nuances that were there and led to the fact that, as a matter of fact, the biker of the machine comes to the market independently and builds

enterprises here, now the most real and such a hot one, so to speak, the indicator will be the german area of ​​metal, if it is true, in the 23rd year , joint production will begin, joint work with repairs, this will be the first step towards the creation of joint production, which ukraine desperately needs, because it is both technology and opportunities, then to expand exports, joint export of weapons, and in the end, this is a big policy, because the arrival of large of western companies to ukraine - this is as much a part of the guarantee of security as in the context of obtaining and creating advanced technologies and separating technology from hostile russia , and actually the presence of western businesses inside ukraine, which will be a deterrent factor e for e for the russian authorities, i hope that the next russian authorities will will be more

careful than this putin's criminal putin's criminal regime, so, in general , if we take the question of the evaluation of the visit , then, if there were no such statement of this about joint productions, in general, it could be said that the results are very, very problematic, that the goal has not been achieved, but in the end , these are new days of opportunities. they somehow balance the general problems of the visit and the problems, i think so not so much the ukrainian government, but the american government, which is currently wavering and cannot make a decision regarding strategic support for ukraine because there is no geopolitical decision regarding russia and there is no decision regarding the destruction of the regime

. the strength of the defense of ukraine and e what is the conclusion from this conclusion is very obvious that ukraine needs to focus more than now on its own missiles and its own drones e unmanned systems both air and sea and ground-based - this is a very e powerful element of asymmetric weapons together with the traditions of special forces of ukraine so ask precisely about the fact that the united states is currently going through such a difficult period from the point of view of internal political struggle when zelensky spoke before congressmen when he was there discussing the conditions of granting of financial aid or there are details for past aid , then zelenskyi said that there will be no financial support, that is, if we do not receive aid, we will lose the war, end

of quote - this is actually one of the contestants of the democrats, just retelling zelenskyi's speech in such a narrow circle with congressmen about why we will lose the war , how should we interpret it? states to the russian threat and an attempt to build some kind of strategy of its own, which seems to be more far-sighted compared to the interests of ukraine, but de facto, when the situation in ukraine looks like we are closing the main problems with our own efforts, the question arises as to how far the united states is able to really protect the interests your partners, what do you think about this, and of course the phrase is so figurative, yes, it is said in such a way that it looks a little scary, but there is a big nuance related to the fact that our

loss or our victory are interpreted by us and in the west, our loss is different, what zelensky says, it means that we will not achieve the goal and will not be able to achieve the liberation of all of ukraine, but this situation is not considered a loss in washington and washington, it would be a normal compromise even to freeze the war and when they did the provision of this summer dash of the autumn campaign, the emphasis was on the army reaching the sea, breaking up the russian group and destroying the land corridor . this was the main goal in its best form , the main goal was -e liberation in the extreme

the liberation of those territories that were captured after february 24, 2022, they did not even think about other territories, and this is frankly about, but we know these ideas through the western mass media and through insider channels, but in the end, zelenskyi remembers churchill's saying just as well that the americans will do everything right, but after they have tested all other options, so now it is precisely about testing all other options, and the missile missile issue is postponed a little and in case there really will be a threat to the fall of ukraine, then the americans accelerate the provision of f16 and e-e accelerate the provision of e-e missiles to these attacks with e and possibly some other weapons such as e-e

fire support helicopters or maybe drones of an operationally strategic operational-tactical level, all this is possible but for now until unfortunately , the situation looks like the main burden of the war is placed on the defense forces , on ukrainian soldiers, and e. the possibility for ukraine to win is the only, in fact, the only possibility is to create a situation when we will have thousands of missiles like neptune but with a range of 500-1,500 km and it is possible, this is what the experts who create rockets, who create weapons, only do not interfere with them, we must eliminate all of them

people from the state audit service of ukraine, yes, they should simply be moved away from missile issues , uh, rocket scientists made a revolution, the missile program started for the second time at the end of may 22nd, and now a year and two months later, uh, ukraine demonstrated a new missile and destroyed, began to destroy with a new missile, actually powerful russian anti-aircraft missile systems, which theoretically could destroy our missile, but did not shoot it down, and it turns out that combined operations, when the ppu system is first overloaded with drones and then hit with ukrainian cruise missiles , including i want let me remind you that a sound missile is not a ballistic missile, if we had an attack with a ballistic missile, we would completely destroy the entire infrastructure of the russian uh , not even uh, doing something for insurance, because i

believe that the s400 will not be able to shoot down such missiles, but right now, if we don't have american german missiles, our own several thousand missiles and tens of thousands of drones, tens of thousands of drones, and as i said , asymmetric weapons are drones and the traditions of special forces, our special forces units. i said this a long time ago, back in 18 - in 19 years, we did a study about how in the afghan war every fourth scout was a ukrainian and special forces ukrainians are the best people in the world who understand special operations, everything we saw in the summer and in the fall of the e ev e in the sector, so to speak, conducting special operations is simply filigree

surgical uncompromising work and it must be done, it must be acted upon, but of course it is necessary to stop handing over e special forces units to the general commander and use special forces as assault infantry because, unfortunately, losing special forces is very large and not so to speak, not for the intended purpose no, this must be understood and this must be known, and one short question literally for a minute about the fact that foreign editions are foreign experts determine that ukraine, in principle, is in no hurry to militarize the economy, this is what zelensky is actually talking about, and he once said that while there are no threats related to the insufficient flow of foreign aid, there is no such thing as an inventory of the economy, or are we making a mistake when these processes

are related to the re-equipment of our daily life, our life, our industry, we invest in military things for later, so that this will not be a bad thing for us later. what do you think about this? four years of zelenskyi's presidential term have been lost, but the 23rd year of the banking industry seems to have seen the light of day, and they quickly began to catch up, so to speak, and what is being done now, in principle, is a lot of positive things . the only thing that is needed is strict centralization, because we have it is not clear who is responsible for what, three ministries deal with drones in our country and deal with other weapons, we need a strict centralization of who is responsible for what, i believe, and we made such a proposal together with academician volodymyr gorbulin about that

that a military-industrial commission be created in ukraine, headed by the president of ukraine, who will be associated with the creation of powerful revenge missiles , and his deputies are the chief military officer, i.e., the commander-in-chief, zaluzhny , and the chief industrialist, now he is already such a kamyshin, yes, the head of mildrotechprom before they were nominally yes they existed but there was no main industrialist now it is and it is possible in this way to dramatically increase the possibilities of creating ukrainian weapons , mainly missile technology anti-missile artillery to localize a significant amount of western weapons here and deal with the drone issue because there are a lot of drones and i heard that they are postponing the decision of which dons we will need for the 24th year, i think it is a very long way to go

and choose today and now specialists who use drones for warfare say that seven or eight main types of drones are needed - it is necessary to urgently determine and urgently monitor adjacent systems , navigation, guidance communication, and so on . the center of state, then we will quickly have analogs of shaheds, drones from kamikaze will appear with a standing load and more, i mean unmanned e-e with more e-e kilograms e and e we will actually be able to make asymmetric e but mirror responses e- the enemy is there in russia, in the depths of russia, here is what we need to do, thank you very much for your professional comments for your time, and i will remind our viewers that the stress channel is on the air, because valentin batrak is the director of the center for research of the army, conversion and
