society also needs a serious conversation. ms. irina, i would like to ask you, as the former first vice-speaker of the parliament, whether there are now and whether it is possible to create legislative conditions for the elections of the verkhovna rada and the president to be held in the 24th year and precisely during the war. an interesting question, and also, you know, strange, but never once in the parliament itself were there any serious discussions regarding how the authorities see the 24... year, when the powers of the president expire, according to the constitution, were not discussed, the constitution, indeed , she more clearly, regarding the parliament, and it is recorded there that the parliament acts until the next parliament is sworn in, regarding the presidential elections, it is obvious to us, yes, that putin, who will be re-elected next spring, will try to speculate on the issues

of the ukrainian government , as he did it there and in the 14th year all the time and stuff. at the same time, both the martial law and the constitution, well, do not allow, first of all, martial law, to hold any elections, and we are aware that there will be no elections under the temporary state legitimate ah, by the way, i can very responsibly say that our international partners never raise the issue of elections, that is, on the contrary, they realize that elections... should be safe, democratic, legitimate, that all participants in the process, starting from the military, ending with immigrants, they must participate in them, and the military not only put a button, excuse me, there is a tick in the ballot, but also take the opportunity to participate in the elections, both presidential and parliamentary, no one is on vacation today for two or three months

the military won't let go of the election campaign, but the question of course exists... of legitimacy, and that's why it seems to me that this is also, you know, when there are already rumors in the press that the president's team is preparing elections for the spring, i would really like him to say that the president himself, honestly, to the society, at least to the parliament, this conversation does not take place, the only thing i want to say is that recently there were several events within the framework of such hearings, where post post, elections, certain technical points were discussed, they are there, like voting day, and here, for example, the cec admits that even the voter register, it is currently closed in our country, and it will take several months to open it and make changes, because it does not correspond to reality today, a lot of demographic changes have taken place in ukraine, no one even deals with this, the issue of the register. thank you, ms. iryna, this was iryna gerashchenko, people's deputy of ukraine, co-chair of the european faction. solidarity in the verkhovna rada

of ukraine. friends, we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watch us live on youtube and facebook, please like this video, subscribe to our pages on these platforms and take part in our vote, today we ask you this, do you need to read absolutely the whole truth about the war from russia, yes, no , or your option, please write in the comments below this video. to our broadcast. special forces major of the armed forces of ukraine ihor lapin joins. mr. major, i congratulate you, it's great to see you on our air. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. major, head of the armed forces of the forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhnyi, wrote an article for the british publication zakonmyst, which , well, was perceived in the west, and perceived in ukraine as sensational, about the fact that the war with russia is entering a new stage, it is becoming a positional war.

all predictions about the counteroffensive do not come true, ukraine, says zaluzhnyi, needs more technological weapons that will allow russia to acquire and defeat russia, airplanes, quadcopters, demining technologies, otherwise, well, ukraine may not win this war. why, mr. major, zaluzhny started talking about it just now, for example, not six months ago, well, let's be honest, zuluzhni has always been talking about this, that in order to win this war, even in order to reach the sea, i'm not saying anymore, we are restoring i am in touch with igor lapin, i hope we will get an answer as to why, in fact , the article of a slob appeared in the economist, ihor lapin is in touch, mr. major, can you hear us, yes, yes, it's just me from i pick up the phone, if someone calls, it rejects the call.

unfortunately, nevertheless, therefore, he is about he said this before, in order to reach the sea, he needed, as he said, give me 300 tanks, give me 600 bmp there, give me this and that, and i can basically do it. the task of going to the sea with further other things was set, but unfortunately, they say, well, yes, okay , let’s attack, but we will not give you 300 tanks here, but we will give you 100, and you can leave if we give you instead of 600 bmp, if we give you, for example, 300, but can you even go on a counterattack without an advantage in the sky and in aviation, and maybe you need demining machines, and maybe we will give you less of them, air defense systems, maybe you need a lot less stingers and maybe less cartridges in general, you see, the impression is that it's like that, like some kind of experiments. zaluzhny clearly said that he needed to, and this was zaluzhny's plan , unfortunately, many skeptics in the west did not listen, and then completely different political processes began,

including in western countries, there and elections, there, if we , having problems with the connection again, i hope we are now let's reconnect with i lapin and continue our conversation, mr. major, yes , yes, well, someone is persistent, you see, they call, therefore, and therefore, in this situation, he completed the task as much as possible, again, for while we were gathering those 300 tanks or 100 tanks and so on, during that time the russians strengthened themselves very seriously. now as to why this article is getting so much publicity right now, in general, well let's be honest, the whole world is demanding from...' at least tell us your plan for peace, not the wrong plan 10 points, it's not about a plan to win the war, it's a plan, you know, you used to go around with those plans like a fool with a writing bag, but it's not about the ways, how you're going to win, tactics, strategy and so on

, well, what do you want from amateurs who say that our strategy is a tactic, these are the theses of zelensky in the 21st year, and we understand that they caused sadness, it's a pity, and the whole world stopped believing in our possibilities. that we persevere, but we persevered, and thanks to the ukrainian people, zelenskyi had the opportunity to learn to respect the military during this period, to respect the army, to respect one's own people, and not only to go to work, to gather our applause with you, but also to restore, to put the country on the military rails, in order to put the country on the military rails, here at least a state of war must be introduced, and such the draft law was registered in the parliament, but when they found out about this green team of dilettates, when they found out that according to this law the military would rule the ball in ukraine, they got scared because their corruption trough would not be filled, and this draft law 71:14 was stolen in good faith with verkhovna rada, i cannot understand that there is only one digital trail and some screenshots, well, it should be a crime, it

should be dbbr, it should be interrogations, because who from the verkhovna rada stole the presidential bill, well if the president gave such a command to withdraw, well, he could do it publicly, withdraw. own bill, but it quietly disappeared , and some digital traces were found there, but that's not the point, the point is that the stumbling block has not disappeared anywhere, we need something more to do, and here zuluzhny says the same thing, well, we need to deal with mobilization plans, because in a state of war, there will be mobilization plans, then we will not breed officials and we will not, in a state of war , buy auto bags for 130 million uah for the police, in we are in a state of war, we need to... buy tow trucks, we need to buy weapons, not anti-aircraft guns for the police , so that they can do what, whatever, our people are conscious, you see, no one goes to rallies, except for rallies, what is the power itself for an attack on the kyiv city council for local communities

and so on, in order to attack the local self-government bodies, they only hold rallies, none of us hold rallies, everyone, as they say , all rioters, all patriots, all busy with war, all busy with the destruction of rosna and the threat from rusna, but instead we see what is wrong the leadership of the state and, in fact, the system built by yermak, the system of public administration began to collapse, well, look, volunteers are taking drones, and at customs they are told to give a bribe, because a drone is a smuggler, he said that these are dual-purpose goods, well, for example, how is that maybe, well, well, we are at war, a volunteer is taking a drone to war, they can’t start a component shop either, a recent article says there is a production company that produces drones, it’s called eskron, but in botusov at the censor they said that they are components were transported and were forced to pay a bribe at customs, and if they didn’t give, they wouldn’t have come , if they had written a statement, based on shmygalivska’s decision, they wouldn’t have come either , that is, the state puts people in such conditions that this thin pixel strip on the front on

today may crack, because the only ones who fill it today are volunteers, those scandals over purchases, well, only the lazy man didn't talk about it, that's why zaluzhny's article right here concerns a lot of things, but...' zaluzhny does not get into political debate, he says that we need this and that for the war, and it's enough to tie us hand and foot, otherwise on one side, this is a signal to the western partners, i have a plan, i need atakams for 300 km, somewhere this is how you should read this article carefully, it clearly states all the things we need if we today with the help of technologies, and for example, they drove the great powerful black sea fleet out of the zamozhaya cloud, so we also need to win back the sky now, because otherwise we will not go anywhere in sukodol. zulazhnyy then talks about mobilization, as i have already said, we will not get there on the shoulders of those who broke the military commissariat in the first days. the understaffing in many units is very large, some units are not even sent for rehabilitation, but

are disbanded because there is nothing to restore anymore, it is true, but we have the same policy as in russia, we have a paternet, in russia a paternet and we have a paternet, who invented such communication , yermak’s system, podolyak, the president’s office, we run the state today, they did, they hacked the parliamentary presidential state and turned it into an office presidential state, that’s all, that’s all , what happens, all these are all consequences. and when the article from which article that appeared in time showed the weakness of today's government, the same days , without even reading the article, after seeing the photo, they first began to advertise it, the same yermak, just like this article, and then they started to read, oh, it’s not about that, and come on, they removed it from the recommendation, what is it, what is it, and i will say, because they thought that they awarded the boy with an order, they think, well, that’s it, we bought it for ourselves journalist, everything will be fine now. and i will tell you that russian manipulative things, they first give a free dose, and then they hit the very painful

place, like in drug addicts, you know, they plant, first the first dose is free, the second is also almost free, and then you pay, and someone pays with money, someone pays with health, so in this situation it looks the same, and today's article is about economics, it showed very scary things, and podolyak confirmed it, i will tell you just the theses that podolyak said, that zelensky there demands the implementation of decisions by 70-80%, that he reacts harshly there on that, that, speaks only about one thing, about the instability of the president, and here i have questions, as a citizen of ukraine, whether he can manage the state at all, being in such an unstable psychological state, you see, the supreme commander during the war, even during martial law, he manages all processes through the supreme commander-in-chief.

according to the law of ukraine, the head of the general staff shaptala should be included in the post, he is not there, but there is the secretary of the president in the form of yermak, well, i do not call this position another way, because he is not even a civil servant, he is not responsible for anything, but only on his command, stefanchuk will sign the delegation of the people's deputy, this is not usurpation of power, what putin did for 20 years, zelenskyi managed to do in four, somewhere yes, he did it with our country, i am today... i thank god that we and our fellow boys, that they at least continue to finish what i did not have time to do, and you and i in the information field should chew out all these things and tell the people that they are greedy, but smart, so that they don’t forget that today there is a war, i don’t want to offend anyone today, but we have both one and the other, the instinct of self-preservation has disappeared in the authorities, they don’t understand what is happening, they don’t want nothing to change, everything suits them. and we die, a warm bath zelensky today is filled with warm ukrainian blood.

mr. igor, it is clear that zelenskyy is giving an interview to simon shuster there , which becomes a part, or comments on this large text that appeared in the popular american publication time, but, well, obviously, ukrainian tv viewers, and ukrainian voters, and in general all those who now live in ukraine, they feel... betrayed, because there is a single national telethon that tells one thing and shows a completely different picture, and on the other hand there is the american publication time, which says, listen, well, in general, he feels betrayed, almost betrayed, zelensky, and in general it is a disaster, because no one is reacting now the way they reacted a year ago, when he was in the united states of america, he was not given a say in the congress there, and that is. .. this is also a big problem, isn’t it time for zelsky to talk seriously with people, with the people

, and first of all with political leaders, because we don’t see this dialog, there is a parliament, there are leaders of political parties who were elected to the verkhovna rada , who were entrusted by the people, representation in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, but dialogue in a year and 8 months or nine months already, we haven't seen anything like this, where people discuss the future of ukraine, but also the present, the most important present, because the future of ukraine depends on the present, first of all, communication. .. and the formation of the editorial policy of the entire single marathon and , so to speak, the structures belonging to it, is handled by podolyat, the same political technologist who was kicked out of belarus at one time for criticizing lukashenka for allegedly having weak ties with russia , i.e a man worked in the interests of russia, this is the same partitioner who, in the interests of russia, quarreled

georgians with russians, russians with georgians, and thus was very happy that everything was successful there and the war began. he was one of those elements. and what do you want to say that today he works in the interests of ukraine? no, they put the president in a warm bath, and he's already used to that warm bath, i've already emphasized, but the second thing they did, they believed that by hacking the entire information field, sharpening him under the praise of the greatest leader, they will try to raise his ratings, and it worked, for a while it worked , because we did not engage in criticism or anything, we were not up to it, if you look at it, the desire ... in the spring of 22 year to criticize the government, only 20% believed that it was possible to do it, well, there are 20 with a penny, but the majority said that no, we need to unite and so on, and the opposition and everyone said that we need to combine, but you will understand, for zelsky it means sharing some share of power, when you sharpening the entire power under the corruption component, then you consider

it as if someone wants to take money from you, and as one criminal said, every dollar, every dollar of mine is in someone else's pocket... i consider it a personal insult, somewhere like this principle today lives in the president's office, they think that when they start talking with adults, with those who understand, that it is supposed that some kind of money flow will break out of them, because they, as i understand it, planted a lot of things on the streams, so they will not do this, share will not be in power, the instinct of self-preservation in they are completely absent, we all understand that elections cannot be held, that is clear, i do not want to draw attention to this, i have talked about it a lot on my youtube channel. so, but then, what to do then, if you can’t hold elections, well, in our country, the elected position is the president and deputies, yes, well, of different ranks, but nevertheless, it’s not so many people, but the army there are 2,000 officials, so change the army of officials, then the burden of corruption will fly off you, but they do not want to do this, so they are doomed and

in the topic, that's all, that's why i say, they have no instinct for self-preservation at all, they still haven't understood that if this and a strong strip bursts, then they won't be there either, the economist article, we remember, yes, they they steal like that, as if there is no tomorrow, that's how some people comment on this story, they don't do it like that, it was half time, it was half time, i won't water it, yes, i'm sorry, half time, that's why, that's why you you understand, all these theses, they all have a basis with them, because people see it all, that's why they won't have it, communication they they will not reconcile with society, you understand, some say, i was told here: oh, come on, let zelenskyi go to the journalists, answer uncomfortable questions. but he will not answer and will not come out, because he has nothing to answer. in order to answer inconvenient questions, he needs to at least know what the people are interested in now , well, relatively speaking, if he would meet, i ’m speaking figuratively now, if he would meet with rudenko, well, okay, maybe with not by lapin, because lapin is very strict, and rudenko is still

a journalist, and i would say, listen, serhiy, tell me, please, here i am blinking, here is a lapin, that one is blinking, that one is blinking, why are they me , i am good and fluffy, norudenko will say, look, i own it, this is a problem, this is a problem, this is a problem, they are not solved, you know about it they do not report, because they are afraid to tell you about it, and this needs to be resolved , and that would be normal, but zelenskyi goes to the journalists and says: you stop writing about corruption, that’s it, well, what else to talk about, he is not going to fight with corruption, he just wants to be silent about it, and people already are they don't want to be silent, and russia, by the way , is also playing very hard on this, the russians have activated the entire agent network today. and in various publishing houses, and in ukraine, including in offices, so that the money flows start moving, so that this corruption-corruption scandalous topic, which actually suspends aid to ukraine, because the republicans start saying their own, and so on, that's all links of one chain, they don't think about it, they row like tomorrow never

comes, because in principle, they believe that if that tomorrow doesn't come, then they will fail with money, well, don't forget that not only israel could create masad. that's right, i said briefly. thank you, mr. major, for the conversation, it was ihor lapin, major of the armed forces of ukraine, special officer, people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation. friends, we are working live on telekanaluso, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently following us on these platforms. please subscribe to our pages on youtube and facebook, and also put. if you like this particular video, you can take it in our survey, today we are you we are asking if you need the whole truth about the war with russia, yes, no, or your version, please write. please comment under this video. next, we have a diplomat, permanent representative of ukraine to the united nations in 2014-2020, volodymyr yelchenko. mr.

volodymyr, i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today. good evening, mr. sergey. mr. volodymyr, my guests, iryna harashchenko and igor lapin, and i have already talked about the publications that appeared in two respectable, international editions in the magazine time and the the economist in the first edition commented on the situation in ukraine, zelsky, but the text belongs to the american journalist simon shusterumist, the text was published by valery zaluzhny , the head of the armed forces of ukraine, and they both say that, in principle , the situation is now quite difficult in ukraine, and in particular at the front, because a positional war is starting, well, a trench war , to put it simply, what conclusions should the world draw from what has been made public, and most importantly

, will these two publications, of course, draw attention to themselves, they have already drawn the attention of the whole world, but you know, i listened, for example, literally today, to such an interesting webinar online, where the participants, well, this is what the atlantic council america organizes, as well as the ukrainian, ukrainian-rican business chancellor or business council, there was a joint event, there were speeches respected people, for example, mercy kaptur, this is the head of the friendship group with ukraine in the us congress, and several former us ambassadors in kyiv, and in their comments, you know, i did not feel such drama, well, that is, they consider that, well, it's less worth, let's say, to pay attention to na na what the media write

, although we have to take into account the fact that, after all, in the economist magazine, it was an interview with a hard worker, that is, it is not an article, it is an interview, that is, his own thoughts, and thus , well it is possible, it was a column, i will clarify, mr. volodymyr, it was a column , yes, yes, it is such a kind of original material, mr. shuster’s article, it is, well , more literary, although there are many references, although, well, some persons are named first of all, president zelsky, and some are not named, and we already hear that we have a whole such, well, a whole exchange opinions, so who is this source of information, it is unknown, different names are called, well, i don't want to comment on it. i think that everyone, everyone is following this discussion in our lutyshnya , well, i repeat once again that eh, well, i cannot speak for the entire

western world, let alone the entire world in general, but if you consider those thoughts , which i heard, well, from such far from average americans, and those americans who are accepted by ukraine have a very deep knowledge of our subject, they do not hide the fact that the situation is really, perhaps, more complicated than it is i was there for six months. or a year ago, but by no means, these publications will not affect in the sense of, say, a decrease in aid from the united states to ukraine, or an understanding, a decrease in understanding that ukraine should be helped, because there is a public opinion poll, well, for example, very honorable ambassador john hamps, who was the ambassador in kyiv. the american ambassador in kyiv, well, in such perhaps the most difficult years, let's say of our modern times, not counting

the current war, of course, he believes that here is the first half of this article in time, where it is said that there was such a cold atmosphere that our president was not received as warmly as a year later and everything has changed and ukraine is not like that, he says that this is not true, he communicates with many congressmen and senators, other politicians, americans, he says that he personally does not feel this way, although really, uh, during the visit of our president, to the congress and his meeting with the senators, there were really asked, well, maybe not very pleasant questions, but it was a frank conversation and in in principle, we answered the questions that were given, and then, the process continued, we now know that there are already demands from some, let

's say, the congress. who are asking that president biden, before they start voting on the ukrainian aid package, to give answers to a whole series of questions, but not in the sense that if he doesn't, then they won't, let's say, vote for this package, but they simply want to better understand where the money is going, what is the purpose, what are the goals that ukraine sets for itself, so this is all our home. work, you have to do it all, but i'll say it again i repeat, i concluded from this broadcast that i watched and took part in this discussion, online, i concluded that our emotions are a little, well, too high, let's say, about the article in timeime, well, the opposite is true zaluzhnyi's article, but it doesn't seem quite fair to me, that is, you know, if the americans themselves perceive

it differently, then we must understand that all these publications, we are talking about american publications, that is, they are not aimed primarily at ukrainian reader, or even on russian, american and western, so they are perceived in a completely different way, and therefore i think we need to calm down a little now and do our own thing, because publications do not win the war, in the state department of the white house they say that what the request funding for ukraine will be passed by both houses of congress and the united states of america has not lost sight of the need to support ukraine, let's listen to what matthew miller, the spokesman for the state department, said. as before, it is important that the united states stands by and helps ukraine defend itself against these horrific attacks that russia has launched and continues to launch against them, and we believe that in

practice, if funding for ukraine is put to a vote, it will be passed by both houses of congress. in no case did we lose attention to the need to support ukraine. that's why you saw how the president gave a speech in the oval office about our support for ukraine. we will continue to remain focused on this. of course, it's important to get the help that matthew mee talks about. because we are talking about a large amount and the approval of the budget of more than 60 billion dollars, this is part of ukraine and this aid package goes together with military aid to israel, and it is clear that the united states of america wants more control over this money, they want to understand more about zelensky's plan of action, because the republicans signed the letter and they demand more .

to paint, and what will happen, where this money will go, how this money will be used, to what extent do you think, in this case , those kremlin sources who distribute informational and psychological special operations, the material of these ipso that are in ukraine, have influence a very high level of corruption, that these weapons, as putin said, end up on the territory of the russian federation, then someone steals something there. eh, where did the americans get the feeling that it is necessary to control the ukrainians more, well, you know, first of all, no one has stopped those, those measures, that kind of influence that russia exerts on the american continent, this has been known for a long time, maybe now the control over this has become much greater, well , after such behavior of the shameful aggressive

russia, i have not only a war in ukraine or aggression against us, and what russia also did on the territory of the united states, it interfered in the elections earlier, and, well, all kinds of such, you know, measures aimed at humiliating the americans, and in general the atmosphere that now prevails on the territory of russia, such of anti-americanism, it already, you know, reminds of the best times of the former soviet union, if not to say, well, this surge of anti-semitism that we are currently observing in russia, and it is not only makhachkala, the airport, it is many other things, well, it is enough to open there the internet and you will see dozens, if not hundreds, of them examples of what is currently happening in russia in relation to the jews, and this is of course very carefully perceived, and in the united states, even more so.
