the roof is a project about the feeling of home, about our roots, about identity, it was built by a child, my great-great-grandparents built a house behind us, about what the old ukrainian architecture brings to us today. good architecture is not necessarily made with the participation of an architect. churches, mills, houses, mazankas, it depends on us whether these spores will slowly fade into oblivion. the wooden church is a village, is it still alive, will we still preserve our past? there is legislation, but it does not work, we have a democracy where people do what they want, ukrainian culture, about ukrainian folk architecture, its features and ways of salvation in a documentary series from the ukrainer roof project, on saturday at 11:15 a.m. at espresso. continues war, and not only for

territories, it is also a war for minds. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become analysis and analysis of information about ukraine by russian propagandists, specific facts and methods by which enemy propaganda turns people into obedient zombies. for the historical reunion. let's counter the information attacks of the russians the chronicle project. information war with olga len. tuesday, thursday-friday at 17:10 on espresso tv channel. mykola veresen, vitaly portnikov and the main topics of the week. if , god forbid, a truly tactical nuclear weapon is used against ukraine, it will definitely change the world. stories, issues, analysis and personalities. john herbst, the former ambassador of the united states to ukraine, is waiting for us. good afternoon, thanks for if you have questions,

you will get answers, interesting questions too, they are worth analyzing, sportnikov veresen, every friday at 21:15 at espresso! congratulations, this svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. live news from the scene. drone attacks, kamikaze. political analytics, objectively and substantively. there is no political season, exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. freedom life is frank and impartial. you draw your own conclusions. i welcome you, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid. we will analyze the most important events of this week. this applies to both the situation

in the middle east and the the russian-ukrainian front. our guests today are retired british army colonel glen grant and polish politician and activist myroslav cech. our first guest is retired british army colonel, military expert glen grand. glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel, god save the king. god save the king. well, it feels like we are on the verge of the third world war. in particular, it is... about the colossal revival in the middle east, the united states of america, on the reinforcement of two aircraft carrier groups, an additional flagship was dispatched from italy, so we understand that everything is on the verge, so to speak. objectively speaking, this is far from the threshold of the third world war. in general, it all boils down to the second cold war. a lot is happening in the world, but these are just proxy battles, like those during the cold war, when people fought,

for example, in africa and other places. i do not observe that russia is going or preparing to fight with nato. they probably understand what it is was a mistake. so at this point there are only two things that could lead us to world war 3, an attack on nato or a chinese attack on taiwan. the situation in the middle east can remain autonomous. of course, if iran has a nuclear bomb and decides to use it, that's it. would change, the use of nuclear weapons would certainly change everything, but at the moment i just don't see that prospect. so we will see a continuation of the battle between russia and ukraine, as well as between israel and hamas and possibly even hezbollah. however, i don't think so geographic military expansion is now possible. to be honest, china is not ready for this either. we understand that war is not only about fighting. war is about resources. and on the one hand we have certain.

the fear that part of the resources that should support us can be directed to strengthen, for example , american allies in the middle east, this is one point, on the other hand, we understand that, well, the western structure, the western defense system, it goes into full dynamics, because it's really not just about russian aggression against ukraine, and we are talking about a possible big war, and accordingly, western countries will no longer be able to pretend that nothing is happening, and help ukraine with, i don't know, a couple of leopards, that is, the western world must join in, otherwise it can simply be destroyed with one or another warhead, which is, for example, from iran, for example, one or another arab militants can launch something and a chain reaction will begin. regarding the first point, i do not think that what is allocated to israel reduces the amount of funds that are allocated ukraine. this will never happen.

most likely, there will be different packages, different groups of weapons and everything else, because ukraine is not ready for what israel needs now, and on the contrary, much of what ukraine is asking israel. is not necessary, therefore such conclusions should not be made. as for the readiness of the west, it worries me because i still think they have not accepted the full seriousness of this war. instead, they behave as if the war is somewhere over the mountains, and it will not reach them. if the theater of hostilities changes, then for for certain countries, including the uk, this will be a surprise blow, because i believe most countries in europe will not properly learn...the lessons learned, they will see these lessons through their own cultural lens. we forget that it will not work to oppose russia and at the same time do business with it. the west is not as ready as it should be . now the situation is improving somewhat.

however, there is still a lot of work to be done. many countries, such as romania, the czech republic, the baltic states, have provided ukraine with a huge amount of equipment, and in the case of latvia, it handed over all of its anti-aircraft defenses and almost all of its anti-tank missiles, still awaiting their replenishment. so we can only hope that nothing in this regard happens quickly, as the west needs time to replenish its reserves in case russia does decide to expand the geography of the war. etekems, they worked extremely well. the key story is that the united states finally dared. to pass them, we understand that this decision has been on the table of president joseph biden for an extremely long time, and finally, two dozen etekms are far from the first model, it is better than nothing, but we understand that it is necessary to strengthen the supply of etakams,

and accordingly, your prospects and in general, how do you evaluate etakams in order to, for example, break through the front line, and before thereby destroying russian logistics. in the south, firstly, i'm not sure exactly which models of atakams were shipped, there are about five different models, and it looks like the older ones were actually shipped. why such a small number? because this is the amount you can accommodate several aircraft on board rather than sending them by sea, which would take more time. that's my guess as to the number. that is, if it was possible to quickly provide 20 missiles, it will be possible, if necessary, to quickly provide another 20, and perhaps even more modern ones. the us is interested in not depleting its own stockpile, because the atakams are a key weapon in the us arsenal and they don't want to waste them. as for combat, the danger with attacks is that they are long

-range weapons, and when you fire them, you as as a rule, you shoot at objects that are at a great distance. is it possible to break through the front with such a weapon? the answer is no, will it help? she loosen the front? yes, but there is a danger that if there is too much of a time delay between the takams attack and the fact that something on the front changes in our favor, it will give russia time to recover from what the atakams have done, to pull up more reserves and ammunition. that is, it is about tactics, a lot of fire, a lot of maneuvers. you have to shoot and act on the front line at the same time to create a complex. synchronized attack, if you just launch atakams, but do nothing on the front line, russia will have time to deal with what happened and return to previous positions. of course, it will definitely not be easier for them from these missiles, the russians will not get too

close, because ukraine will find a target and neutralize it, they will have to think about how to act differently, so in the next few weeks, putin's generals will be scratching their heads. how to resist attacks so as not to lose such needed key resources, the uk was first, yes stormshadow, later there were scalps, french ones, then... the united states with atakams , well, accordingly, we are waiting for the german tauruses, but still we feel a certain dosage, and we understand that long-range missile systems are very good, but this may not be enough in order to make a qualitative change in the south, the situation is extremely difficult , we are entering winter, we should not forget that only the infantry can occupy and hold positions, you can strike in the rear, but this will not change the situation. front line, unless, if you will manage to destroy so much ammunition that the enemy on the front line will simply have nothing

to fight with. ukrainian planners are also now facing a challenge. they have to make sure that they can really use the artillery they have to help the soldiers in the brigades, because the most important thing is to enable the brigades to keep moving forward and defend themselves better. it is clear that russia is not going to stop. instead, it will attract even more people, even more ammunition and weapons. even if her weapons, her tanks, are old, they are they still shoot, that should not be forgotten. i think we missed the opportunity, or the moment, when russia could break. now they stubbornly stand their ground and there is nothing left but to defeat them. but frankly speaking, it is now extremely important for ukraine to stop relying only on resources from abroad and start spending a lot more time and energy building

our own weapons and our own systems, because if this war goes from winter to summer, it will be harder and harder to get equipment from the west. ukraine must find ways to quickly compensation there are weapons systems that ukraine could produce, for example, mortars. mortars are created quite quickly, as well as ammunition for them, if each... batal will have six mortars, as for example in great britain, this will be of fundamental importance for ukraine. the military must think in a new way. what i see now is still the old military mindset, people need a new mindset on how to operate and use the resources they have. you can't just rely on civil society to buy drones, you can't win the war that way, so you need a new way of thinking, and i'm afraid that the current cadres. it will not be possible to find it. dear mr. colonel, you were one of the first to

boldly and clearly say that the russians are preparing for a so-called long, protracted war. this was at a time when very many military experts were talking about a short war, there for a few months. so there were a number of factors that demonstrated that the russians were preparing for a protracted campaign. if we take the present phase, the present moment and the present available resources, i think that the west has calculated the plus-minus level of the efficiency of the russian so-called defense industry, which will be the russian vision of offensive actions, or perhaps the so-called active defense, which putin said, they just continue to do what they are doing , because in their minds they win, the russians are used to not sparing people and losing a lot of equipment, and a great example of this was the second world war, in which their ... were colossal and it seems that russia has no desire to stop the war. russians now

support putin like never before, and putin is putting all his energy and russian resources into this war, despite their weak intellectual and technological power, they will continue to manufacture many low-quality things that will make life difficult for ukraine, and this is about numbers. this is the power that russia has. so if we don't break them over the winter, there's a chance. that the war may last two or three more years, and i am quite serious about this, russia must be broken, and now we are not doing it, we are only holding them back. yes, there are certain advances, but this is not a breakthrough, we need a breakthrough, maybe it will happen near kherson with a new operation to ford the river, that is, we need to act elsewhere, act differently, because the strategy is about capabilities, at the moment our capabilities... are not strong enough to make the strategy work, even with atakams , even with f-16s, because the main capability is

a hundred combat brigades that are not properly equipped today to win this war, so more and better thinking is needed , in your opinion, putin already has it, i don't know a sense of the purpose of this war, so that when he announced an absolutely false so-called special military operation, we understand that he was preparing for a short scenario, now a long scenario is being bequeathed, possibly with the involvement of additional theaters of military operations, possibly in the middle east, possibly in the caucasus and so on, we very often hear statements from russian propagandists about the so-called existential war against ukraine, so we see a number of propaganda clichés, so to speak, which indicate that this war indeed, their goal is to turn the aggression of the russian army against ukraine into a war of the entire russian people, that is, they would like it to become the so-called third world war for russia, some kind of new

great patriotic war. you are right. however, i think that putin understands that without ukrainian resources he cannot wage an existential war against nato, he needs ukraine, its prepared human resources that would fight for russia, that is what he is aiming for. he has already attracted many ukrainians from crimea and kherson who are fighting on the other side of the line delimitation. this cannot be forgotten. this is the scenario he wants. putin will continue to establish world order. it will support anything similar. on hamas, like any war in the middle east or in africa, because he wants to divert the attention of the west from the war in ukraine, and you can say that he is already doing this, he is doing this when he places nuclear weapons in belarus, that themselves, taking away the honor and energy of the latvians and lithuanians, for example, because at the time when they should be training, they stand and

the border is being watched because hundreds of migrants are crossing it, so he will be looking for all possible ways during the winter. and next year to divert attention, time and other resources from the event that supports ukraine in this war. i don't know what exactly, but putin is already actively planning something. i've been repeating this since 2014 and i've been right every time. something is going to happen soon and we just need to be mentally prepared. and returning to the existential war, putin can really lose it. exclusively in ukraine, and that is exactly why ukraine should treat this is very serious, because something may happen that will definitely not be in favor of the implementation of the strategy of the ukrainian military command. dear glen, has the concept or vision of war changed now in our key allied capitals, at one time there was a feeling that our friends would like

to localize the war and therefore were not in too much of a hurry to allocate important, long-range and now there is the question of aviation and so on, well , the question is not only about the quality of those resources, but also about the quantity, well, what is the formula for waging war and possible access to these or other the end of the war is now seen by our friends in the pentagon, in london and possibly in berlin. there are a number of important things, firstly, you have to understand that any formula must be based on trust, if it is not based on trust. then nothing good will definitely happen, no formula will work, this trust is built by what was given to ukraine and what was used properly, the important question is whether ukraine is dealing with corruption or whether it is fighting in the legal field, because this is what on which trust is based, joining nato depends entirely on political compatibility.

in certain aspects, ukraine has military compatibility, but in other aspects, such as logistics, compatibility as such is absent at all. the fact that you have to take all your equipment to other countries to repair it suggests that there is something wrong with the logistics system. so, the situation with military compatibility is more or less, but political compatibility is extremely weak. ukrainian ambassadors are weak, with the possible exception of the ambassador to the united states, and therefore you cannot create relationships that would eventually lead to proper understanding of what to do to help ukraine. trust is above all else, and until it is strong and one hundred percent, there will always be a lack of confidence in what to do next to support the country, this is so childish, i am telling everything here, it is important to understand that this is the main problem of ukraine, there is no sense just keep asking for something , you have to create a relationship that is based as a real relationship that will be

strong and last for years, unfortunately in many ways it is not done at the moment. we already have a few weeks as a new minister of defense, we are talking about rustem umerov, we understand that there are many challenges, i do not know, this is about a careful study of what the previous minister of defense did, what he did not do, but in any case we understand that there are states allied to us, yes , which regularly send signals, if you try to generalize, what the ministers of defense are talking about now, whether the chiefs of general staff of the allied states, the united states, britain, france, poland, and so on, with the new composition of the ministry of defense, what strategy they propose and to what extent it can be implemented quickly. separately, we are talking about logistics, ensuring ukrainian production within the borders of our state and beyond its borders, and in general, are there any , i don't know, comprehensive tips on how to

strengthen our defense industry? i am 100% sure that everything they are talking about is everything you and i have been talking about in all our interviews. i don't think anything will change, because structural things will always remain structural things, and logistics will always be logistics. logistics. must be designed and create, and teach people. they will definitely discuss improving training and that structures and combat structures should be updated as well, that's all something that everybody understands, that's what they're doing in all the other countries, so of course, for the new secretary of defense, that 's going to be something new, but definitely not for the system. undoubtedly, the industrious one gives a lot of advice. and returning to trust, i will add that unfortunately there are no american or british generals who are really close. to the system, though that's only to the best of my knowledge. ukraine does not use the potential of all the retired officers who are in the west, who came from the cold war and were involved in other wars.

for example, in the war in the persian gulf, almost none of them were invited to share their experience and help, because the system allows you to be only an ordinary soldier, which means that the military, intellectual capital of the west is wasted, and this is a great pity. thank you very much. thank you, dear mr. colonel, for this extremely informative and honest conversation, i want to remind our tv viewers that now in on the espresso channel , retired british army colonel glen grand, a well-known military expert, god save the kin, and glory to ukraine worked for them. glory to the heroes, and in conclusion i will add one thing: we can survive, but there are difficult days ahead for which we must be ready. one cannot think that victory is given easily. russia is preparing for a protracted war. and that's something to think about, thank you. the child

ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians. victories and losses, analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics, serhii rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this. people who have information and shape public opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future right now. the main and interesting thing in the verdict program. sergey. mrudenko from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10. our current guest is myroslav cheh, mp member of the polish diet of the second and third term, public figure and famous historian. glory to ukraine, myroslava, i congratulate you. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, poland has survived a major political earthquake, but the situation is over.

it is not clear, so the key story is who will nominate the prime minister, well, we understand that the president will do it, but without the assistance of the newly elected polish parliament, we understand that the situation can be complicated, and accordingly i would like to ask you how it will be now look like a big turnover, yeah because we understand that the executive power is extremely important, and it is unlikely that president andrzej duda will go ahead with giving enormous powers to the hands of his so-called big opponents. the executive committee of the civic platform instructed donald tusk to form the government and nominated him for the post of prime minister, and accordingly two other political parties or political coalitions, the left and the third way, they said that because of that,

with an eye on victory... within the framework of the opposition trump card of the civil coalition, and it must nominate a candidate for prime minister, and therefore the candidate will be donald tusk, the president of duda, well, of course, hypothetically , when we speak, someone can be nominated for the position of prime minister, but his approval, i.e., the vote of confidence, he must receive in the parliament, without the parliament, thank god, nothing happens in poland , because poland is a parliamentary republic. not even a parliamentary-presidential one, but a parliamentary republic, the position of the prime minister in the constitutional system of poland is very strong, it is essentially called a chancellor system like the german one system, so the position of prime minister actually has enormous powers, he has all the executive power in the country, now regarding the political calendar, it must be said that

the president has 30 days to convene the first session of the newly elected parliament , the parliament is already bicameral, and then the president entrusts some politician with the function of performing the function of the prime minister, and he has 14 days to receive a vote of confidence in the parliaments, in fact in the diet, in the lower in the lower house , the only problem here is what could be, is that the president wants to say that he is not interested in the opinion of the political forces of the opposition, but next week duda invited to him the representatives of all the political forces that came to the sejm, ugh, these are five political forces and with them in turn will talk about the political configuration, and the three political forces will come with a unanimous

decision that their candidate for the position, they, otherwise, they signed a coalition agreement, they have 200 there, 48 mandates in the diet, and their candidate for the position of prime minister - the minister is donald tusk. well, now i am i can imagine that andrzej duda will start talking, and i don't like it, or something , and we have the winner of the election, president andrzej duda will say, law and justice, he will consult with yaroslav kaczyński, well, i am also considering such a hypothetical scenario, after that , will try to form a coalition on the basis of law and justice, but even with the votes of the confederation, they will not be able to create the majority necessary to form a government, and if, for example, such an idea as to block the coalition of the opposition nomination will mature from the prime minister's civic platform and move to elections, new early elections, this scenario is at all real, no, just like the scenario...
