the war that ukraine is waging against russia is more, more exhausting for russia and much more economical for the americans themselves than the war of the united states of america against russia. yes, so what is the question? i, i, why this concept is not, is not dispersed in your way, by the supporters of the ukrainian state in the united states of america, because well, this is the most important thing, because no, it is dispersed by the supporters of the ukrainian state, you yourselves. just turned on one of such supporters, well, he is a lawyer, he is not a politician, the problem is that these arguments are more or less designed for people who think at least a little bit, but excuse me, the argument is much easier for a non-thinking cow, and why should we spend even a penny somewhere on someone else's war. in addition, one must not forget that part of the americans, actually trumpists, simply openly sympathize. putin and his regime.

in fact, the same trump at one time did not show his sympathy for putin, then he started to show his sympathy, but so badly. look at how elon musk is behaving now, actually, it's all trump, elon musk, putin - these are people of the same type, this is the same psychotype, and the american putins terribly regret that this is their system, and the system that they have just defended. of which the biden administration and the democrats are a special feature, so all the trumps and masks are madly sorry that this american system, with a bunch of levers, counter-lever there, it does not give them a chance to become american putins, they simply openly sympathize with him and envy, mr. yevhenna, against the background of what is happening in the congress and the statements of joseph biden appeared: information

that the united states of america is seriously concerned about corruption in ukraine, but receives from harsh statements , plans appear, demands from washington, to ukrainian government officials and to the ukrainian president, that it is necessary to fight corruption more, and talk about , what should be done in these 45 days of the temporary budget, the period when the temporary budget is in effect... everything in order for ukraine, in ukraine, to not have such high-profile corruption scandals, because corruption is the cornerstone that then will influence including for military aid and financial aid , from the united states of america, ukraine, in your opinion, these are the demands that are now, well, in particular, politicians are printing, to what extent they correspond with what, what in the united states of america in general think about our corruption, and it is related to money

or the aid that comes to ukraine, although we know that there are already special representatives who will help us, control the use of funds that come from washington, and you know that a very multifaceted problem, there are many different ones in it dimensions, well, let's start with the fact that we all know that there is corruption in ukraine, that its scale is really... very significant, the manifestations are extremely defiant, simply, absolutely, i would say even obscene, and uh, this is one dimension, we know it very well, we ourselves suffer from it, uh, then there is a second dimension, that this real corruption that we have is also very powerfully multiplied precisely in the media, uh, when therefore, multiplied by the efforts of two different groups, which are allegedly not related to each other, and not allegedly, they are not related to each other, they

no... they love each other, they are financed from different pockets, but two different groups , namely, russian propaganda, state, and our ukrainian, namely, paid full-time anti-corruption groups, the same ones that actually have no profession, except for grants to fight corruption, so here are two groups in parallel and independently, this is the real ukrainian level of corruption, which is already off the charts, but they... in the media multiplied it many times and hyperbolized it, and therefore we have an absolutely real problem, a reputational, our country is precisely associated with corruption, in the west, in particular in the states, and this, and it hits us, the fact is that it does not matter what real objective assessments are there, the drift of our corruption, with corruption in various other countries, and what is important is not so much what is there... although again, in reality

, we saw 17 eggs and it is just like the tip of the iceberg, we all saw it perfectly, that is, there is an iceberg, but it does not matter as much as this iceberg. like what, what , what do they think about it, and if we take our eggs of 17 as a basis, then, in fact, in the west, they think of eggs of 170, but it is also real hyperbolized, but yes, this is really a problem, if those who think strategically in the west, they clearly distinguish, as in the old joke, flies and meatballs are separate, that is what is necessary in any case, to prevent putin from winning, that is necessary to let us defeat russia, and then with that ukraine , which won, to negotiate that boys and girls, if you want our investments in recovery, i'm sorry, but our money will not go under such conditions, when they will be

brazenly embezzled here, or we will build on this money is some kind of factory, and it will be squeezed out tomorrow, through some of yours there, yours there in pereschepyshchyna court, so excuse me, or guarantee us transparency. conditions and judicial protection of property, or we simply do not come to you, live as you want without our money , but again, further with that ukraine, which has already won the war, it is quite possible to ask the question, why stop, guys, you are here have gathered in the eu, and yes, of course, you are interesting to us in the eu, but not with the same level of corruption as yours, this is a normal question, but the linking of military aid with corruption, it is not that the question is abnormal, it is in general... turning upside down, which is actually the main evil, and which is a lesser evil, our corruption is of course an evil, and we ourselves suffer from this evil, but excuse me, when the orcs come, when the russian empire comes, then corruption of such a scale as compared to ours comes , in general, it’s just a child’s whisper, but

in parallel with this corruption comes external military aggression, internal totalitarianism and so on, then excuse me, maybe... still, let's not, let's not divide the fight with absolute evil and the fight against also evil, but incomparably smaller, this is a normal , healthy logic by which many are still guided, but those who are actually on the side of this evil, namely the russian empire, it is very convenient for them to use our corruption , and it is even better to use the myth of our corruption in the western media, i will remind you once again, these are two different things, our real corruption and a very inflated myth about it, so use this myth to formally justify what they are actually trying to do help putin and

to torpedo aid to ukraine in the war, and it is quite logical that the trumpists, who in fact are simply on the side of putin, the trumpists have usually adopted this corruption argument, and are using it right and left, and therefore the biden administration must cover it with something, they must to show that no matter what is going on in ukraine with corruption there with their taxes, but the taxes of american taxpayers are definitely protected, that they are not stolen, and for this purpose they have already specially appointed this one, well, excuse me for such a slang term, but specifically for the viewer, that's how it is who will now monitor how american aid is distributed here, where it goes, and by the way, formally they are also right here, it is the money of their taxpayers, their taxpayers have the right to know what is being done with their money, just as you and i have the right to ask where our taxes go, that's why, that's why there are really

, really many plans here, and real corruption is a myth about it, b - the connection between corruption and aid to war, which is, this connection is created artificially, but it is already becoming a problem, well and in actually, the real interests of the states are to protect the funds of their taxpayers for the time being, and then , in the future, the investments of their companies in ukraine. well, let's hope, mr. yevgeny, that peni prinsker, who will be in charge, who is in charge is the special representative of the president of the united states of america in ukraine, who is closely monitoring what is happening in ukraine, and by the way, her ancestors were born in the kyiv region, in the village of pritske, and pritsker is exactly her surname from ancestors who were born in ukraine, let's hope that everything will be ok with help and control with help. mr. yevhen, thank you for the inclusion, it was yevhen dyky, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war.

friends, we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms , for those who are currently watching us on youtube, we are conducting a survey, today we are asking about the following: do you support the idea of ​​strengthening the powers of the president of ukraine, yes, no , why are we asking about this, because the members of the presidential team, in particular, the first... vice-speaker of the ukrainian parliament oleksandr kornienko spoke about the fact that we are currently testing the possibility that ukraine can have a strong presidential republic, he spoke about this at one of the round tables, so it is very important for us to understand how you feel about this now, whether you support the idea of ​​strengthening powers of the president of ukraine, eh, vote on youtube, at the end of the program we will sum up the result of this vote, well , further, we will be in touch. british army colonel in the glen grand reserve. mr. colonel, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on

our air. colonel daly the telegraph, citing a senior military official, writes that britain has run out of weapons it can send to ukraine. according to an unnamed official , kyiv. air defense equipment and artillery ammunition are needed in the next stage of the war supply, which britain cannot provide now, we gave everything we could afford - this official told reporters, could britain run out of weapons that it can send to ukraine, is it to be believed because the daily telegram writes, yes of course.

because we are talking about the needs that ukraine has, and because when we say that great britain has been providing weapons for a year and a half, accordingly, at a certain stage we understand that the stocks that were in the warehouses are simply running out. mr. colonel, can we say that russia is methodical. and has been preparing for a major attack on ukraine for decades and has been accumulating a large number of weapons in its stockpiles since the time of the soviet union, and this makes it easier for them in the current war, so much more than for the countries of the west, which we are being helped now because no one in the west thought there could be a war of this magnitude, a war... which is the biggest since wwii on the european continent?

such a broad question, there are so many such pitfalls, i want to say that you are absolutely correct, yes, and russia was accumulating its resources, they did not spend and did not sell, to the countries of africa or the countries of the near east, of course, we understand that this weapons are unfortunately in bad condition. secondly, i want to say that the west, the collective west, they thought that russia will become a country that will still gravitate towards the west, but again, we didn't think about what putin is capable of, and again, we didn't think about what, that the general staff of russia itself hated the west , and when the war broke out, they began to blame

the countries of the west for the collapse of the soviet union. and the last thing i want to say is that we understand that western countries still strive for quality, because we need quality, in particular, when we talk about the wars in afghanistan, iraq, and sierra leone. and even in the first gulf war to a certain extent, that is, quality above all, it is not about quantity, and that is why the defense industries, they have reduced the scale and also the power, to create, to produce the quantity that we now so urgently need, if we say about the conflict with such a resource-rich country as russia. mr. colonel, does this mean that the countries of western europe and the whole world should... revise their plans for armaments, for the production of weapons, for

the accumulation of these weapons, for the proportions of these weapons, for the number of these weapons that should be in in europe, in eastern europe, in western europe, depending on the threats that are now coming from russia, i think it's happening in different ways, we actually think, saying, i mean there are a lot of politicians who think . that they can settle this issue without spending additional resources on it, but if we look at poland, for example, and some other countries take russian threats and russian actions quite seriously, and poland is an example in this, and therefore they understand, what exactly they need to build up, we also understand that certain

lessons have been learned in japan and taiwan, and they are preparing for war, they have built... a complex, they act quickly. today, british deputy defense minister james hippie announced at the warsaw security forum that ukraine had achieved the functional defeat of russia's black sea fleet, and hippie urged not to underestimate ukraine 's capabilities. mr. colonel, how do you assess the situation on the battlefield in ukraine today, and please tell us what you thought about ukraine's capabilities in the first days of the great war, starting on february 24, 2024, and what do you now think about ukraine and its possibilities as of october 3

, 2023? very. good question, quite a difficult one, first of all, if we're talking about the black sea fleet, as well as the services, they've made a very strong effort to drive the russian black sea, the black sea fleet away from the main actions, so you see how they are hiding, in particular in the sea of ​​azov, that is... what we are observing now, our ukrainian fleet, representatives of the naval forces, they need to applaud, because they did an exceptional job. when we talk about ground combat, yes, the situation has changed dramatically, because it was quite tough, and we understood

what the situation was like around the capital, that is, it was people against people, now everything has become a warehouse. much more complicated, more complex, we understand that the ukrainians have acquired and received supplies of western weapons, and they now have the opportunity to conduct better maneuvers on the battlefield, but there is a but and this is quite fat, there is a lot of money that is invested in procurement of drones, but not mortars , machine guns, artillery. that is, this is what is a gap, because because of such artillery strikes and missile strikes , a lot of casualties can be obtained, we also know what the situation is with air defense means, we know that kyiv is equipped with modern anti-aircraft systems, but ukraine needs more, because

the enemy's tactical fighter helicopters are military, they can fly in and destroy the same military targets. therefore, there is still a lot that needs to be done in order to improve the solution, and in particular with regard to the infantry, with regard to individual rank-and-file soldiers, we say how important it is to equip the rank-and-file soldiers, to provide them with better night vision devices, bigger and better mortars, because each brigade, each, each battalion must have its own mortar mortars that can fire directly , therefore, it is necessary... more work in this direction. colonel, the united states army is ready to provide long -range atakams missiles equipped with cluster munitions to ukraine, but for now the army is waiting to hear what it will say president of the united states of america, joseph biden. this was stated in an interview by the assistant secretary of defense of the united states of america

for procurement, dach bush. what do you think is stopping biden from providing long-range missiles, although we know that great britain has already provided us with missiles that fly at a fairly long distance, and why is washington delaying these missiles? i think we're dealing with two things: first, it's domestic politics, and there's a lot of internal discussion within the white house that's scared, yes, they're scared answers, russia, they are afraid of an escalation of the war, they are afraid that the us will become involved or involved. in some way to the conflict with russia, that's why they are somehow not in such a hurry with this, we understand that britain is always

ready to give back, to fight, but america is a somewhat different country, she, she behaves quite so cautiously, secondly, i want to say that it is possible, in particular, to reduce, for example, the level, they intend to reduce the level of... corruption that is currently in ukraine, they want to put pressure on zelensky, for for him to ensure the fulfillment of what the usa demanded from ukraine, we are also talking about the general level of corruption in ukraine. mr. colonel, great britain is our biggest partner in military cooperation since the beginning of the great war, we value it very much in ukraine. at the same time , we are watching. according to what is happening in the congress of the united states of america, in particular , the decision regarding the temporary budget, which was passed by the congress for 45 days, and there was no

money, additional money for military aid to ukraine. like decisions that are made in london and the decisions that are made in washington can be interconnected, how does what biden does in washington affect. can affect what great britain does, what decisions it makes regarding ukraine, will it affect britain or not? very good question, so i want to say, first of all, don't worry too much about what congress is doing, what congressional decisions are, because we understand that they are, and congress is notorious for always delaying some funding. and this is not the first time happened, and we have already seen this, so i would not worry too much about it, but it is important that these funds were allocated,

allocated for ukraine, again, he said, saying this, the money that was previously were allocated for ukraine, that these funds were wasted or not, the ministry received a certain number of billions of dollars, which , again, have not been used yet, so i think that there will not be a major breakthrough in this regard, in relation to great britain, i sure that both the uk and other countries who see that there is again some kind of break in relation to the supply of finance or moral support from the us , it affects other countries as well, but again, i'm not sure that it will affect, let's say such a... and i'm sure that efforts will continue, efforts to help ukraine .

mr. colonel, during all the days that have passed since the beginning of the great war in ukraine, we hear from the kremlin that we will strike not only on the territory of ukraine, but also on the territory of those states. who help ukraine in the current war. that's dmitriy, the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation medvedev says that britain's intention to station troops in ukraine to train the soldiers of the armed forces there, as well as the bundestag's statements that kyiv can strike the territory of the russian federation with taurus missiles, that's all, these statements indicate that russia is being pushed to the third world war, they are so constantly talking about this third world war and about russia's war against nato

that they already have almost one foot in this war. please tell me the power and capabilities that the countries that are part of nato and the countries that are part of the conditional civilized world. who opposes the russian federation, these resources are enough to put russia in place without a major world war, if so, why is the west not doing it? i will answer yes, so first of all, you need to remember that russia, once again, is actually all reserves. not related to the fact that they will be able to withstand, for example, this third world war, they are now trying their efforts to undermine

the aid that they provide to ukraine. doubt, they want to reduce the defense power of ukraine, that is, they are waging a hybrid war, they want to undermine everything that people are doing now, secondly, i want to say that with regard to the resources of the nato countries, yes, they have, and they will find even more, if necessary, we remember what happened during the second world war , when from companies and plants and factories to those that actually created weapons, that is, again, we understand, we know how quickly people can mobilize in case of need, that is, industry, european power and american, japanese, south korean, taiwanese and others countries, we understand how important and huge their...

potential, we're talking about tens of times more when we're talking about production than what russia is capable of, but they're not going to ramp up their efforts until they feel they need to do that, so we understand that now i don't think anyone will build up, they don't have any interest now. british intelligence, mr. colonel, testifies and says that russia is preparing to fight for several more years, and sergey shaigu himself says that the war against ukraine will last until the end of 2025. british intelligence says that leaked documents in its possession show that defense spending in russia could rise to 68% compared to 2023. this

means that they will reach. approximately 30% of all budget expenditures, but at the expense of other areas of the economy, in your opinion, how long can russia constantly play for promotion and how long can russia increase its defense capabilities, because we remember the experience of the soviet union, for which the arms race ended simply in disintegration and economic collapse, and the war in afghanistan just wiped out the soviet union completely, as a result of which this country ceased to exist, can it happen to the russian federation that they will spend a lot of money on weapons, and as a result they will lose, because they will go bankrupt, because they simply have no other expenses will not. quite a multiple question, so about that.

as for the bankruptcy of the russian federation, if they continue to raise rates and thus they will impose, stop paying salaries to, let's say, educators, doctors and the like, then yes, there will indeed be some kind of collapse, and so when we talk about people who are starting to arm themselves, preparing first of all to defend themselves against putin, so they, i'm not sure, actually, how much is it ... a miracle, yes, but there is such information , that someone, something can happen inside russia , therefore, on the example of north korea, we understand where the country can lead itself, even to the point that its people will starve, but we know what love russia, putin has for russians, none , he sends people en masse to the front line, sends equipment there, so the question about bankruptcy, really weighty, and he will. then

refer again to china, india and iran, because they support them. mr. colonel, the former defense minister of great britain, ben wallace, said that ukraine should recruit more young people to the army in order to prevent a decrease in the pace of the counteroffensive. in a comment to the telegram publication, he said that kyiv cannot stop for a single day, i quote what ben wallace said, the average age of the soldiers at the front is more than 40 years. i understand the president's desire zelsky to save the youth for the future, but the fact is that russia is secretly mobilizing the entire country. putin knows that the pause will give him time to build a new army, so, as britain did in 1939-41, it may be time to reassess the scale of ukraine's mobilization. given that in
