they will complete their path of joining the eu and nato, so we will see a completely different europe with completely different centers of political gravity closer to the east. you have been studying the relations between the post-soviet republics for quite a long time, do you think this war was inevitable? no, it wasn't, this war is putin's personal choice, which became possible thanks to the propaganda system he himself built, especially after 200...12, when he returned to the presidency in russia. the media coverage of the war that russians see on tv is an alternate reality, but in the sense of decision-making, responsibility, this is putin's decision, which has its roots in the past, it was a choice, but a strategically bad choice. when the invasion happened, we were all shocked for many reasons, and one of them is that it just doesn't make any sense, we can talk about 32 years of constant antagonism between ukraine and during this

time there were rapprochements and distances, there were turning points, maybe in 2021 everything was clear, because british and american intelligence already had their data, but if we talk about the period from 1991 to 2021, the war was not inevitable. could anything have been done to prevent this war? if we return to the british and american data. published at the end of 2021, and they were accurate up to a few days, one of the reasons for their publication was to show that we know what russia is planning to do, to make it difficult to organize provocations, and it was also an opportunity to mobilize ukrainians to prepare for the invasion, and the same for the west, i don't think it was transformed into the opinion that putin should not be provoked, we knew that he

is going to do, but in the long run we relied on dialogue until the end, too many people had too many illusions about the nature of the russian regime, which pretended to be a normal country, many experts on russia, even here in british universities, must have simply not watched russian television , to understand, this is not a normal country. the war has been going on for more than a year and a half, is there fatigue with the ukrainian issue on the world political agenda, which... this will have an impact on support for ukraine. the big problem is america, but it's really not about ukraine anymore, it's about their internal politics. when full-scale war broke out in 2022, we saw cross-party support for ukraine. it decreased, but only on the part of the republicans. and these are all their games where they are trying to impeach biden. this is the framework within which trump is building his presidential campaign. in other countries, let me remind you, there is the main

logic of the counteroffensive: yes, it is slow, but it is happening as it should, and there are reasons for that, one of them is the west, i think we all for a very long time we were afraid of a quick victory for ukraine, after the success of 2022, when kyiv liberated kharkiv oblast and kherson, ukraine was not encouraged to continue, and we gave russia time to build all these lines of defense, and with some disappointment we now want ukraine to win the war, which we wouldn't have won by ourselves. without air superiority, when ukrainian troops have to fight their way through fortifications by manually clearing minefields, on the other hand there are strategic achievements that i consider important, which is the destruction of the supply chains of the occupiers instead of direct attacks, and secondly - this is concern for the preservation of human lives, which we do not observe on the part of the russians, so all these reasons are slowing down ukraine's actions, although we still have a chance to break through before winter, and ukraine has already made a break through from all the rules of the game in

the black sea, crimea is a more dangerous place , the russians are pushed back from the west coast, ukraine has released its drilling platforms, which have been occupied since the beginning of 2022. the misunderstanding in the west is that not everyone can appreciate these achievements. what do you think ukraine needs to win this war and what kind are there risks? and i know that forecasts are a thankless business, but still, what is your forecast as a specialist when the war ends? many risks, ukraine has great losses both due to the nature of the counteroffensive and russian attacks, russia's losses are huge, but they are still able to renew them, they still terrorize the civilian population, kyiv is relatively safe, but the threat may increase, meanwhile the population of kyiv is growing due to the influx immigrants there are also temporal risks, namely the american elections in november 2024, if the war is not yet over. hopes for

trump's presidency, so by then many steps must be taken to ensure a victory for ukraine and a stable peace after it, a military victory, recovery of territories, military...weakening of russia so that it does not have the ability or desire to invade again. we are talking about deterrence through arming ukraine and western support, which will continue after the war. the russian propaganda machine needs to be dismantled somehow. perhaps it is worth thinking about the denuclearization of russia. the list is very long. achieving the prudent secure peace is probably the most we can achieve, because i don't think we will achieve everything on this list. awaits ukraine after the war, what, perhaps, should we think about now, while the war is still going on? what will happen after the war, you should probably not wait for the end of the war, you should start thinking about the future now, ukraine cannot postpone the reconstruction of considerations about the post-war economy, demographic problems,

a huge task - to return home as many people as possible, the geography of ukraine should not be limited only to kyiv and west, you must to secure the east and the south, to activate business there, to fully launch the post-war economy, maybe it should be more digital, more online, i don't think it's worth rebuilding the old soviet factories, the task is huge, it will attract ukraine compensation from russia, huge western support, but you need to create conditions when the economy will grow and bring profits to investors, so that everyone will win, the potential is huge, ukraine can repeat the german one after... wonder if everything do right your profile on the website states that you speak russian, ukrainian, a little belarusian, could you please address our viewers in ukrainian to wish them well? okay, but you might notice some mistakes. glory to ukraine, i wish

you a happy module. stress, shock, confusion, such emotions often grip ukrainian fighters on the front lines, and the ability to see that a fellow soldier needs help and provide it during battle is an important skill, similar to the ability to provide medical aid, and this is what many armies of the world use a special psychological protocol, fast and effective, now this protocol is adapted for our soldiers, about six simple steps that will help support comrades in military television material. stress is a component of war, it helps us adapt to uncertainty, unexpected events, explosions, gunshots, fears, risk.

but sometimes combat situations and conditions overload the nervous system of the fighter, and some areas of the brain. is temporarily disabled. in this case, an acute stress reaction occurs. a person in such a state loses control, does not respond when addressed, sometimes covers her face with her hands or falls face down. if you see that your partner has stopped performing a task or has frozen, this may be a sign of an acute stress reaction. it's like a wound, only the psyche suffers. so it 's your duty to help. brother, the sooner you act, the more effective your help will be. the leading armies of the world use modern methods of psychological assistance during combat. it's a six -step algorithm to turn a fighter around to an effective state in one and a half to two minutes.

make sure the fellow needs help , find out if he's got any injuries, make sure he's really lost... efficiency, control the weapon, buddy, how are you , look at me, turn to him, make eye contact, i want physical answer, for example, squeeze his shoulder, let him squeeze yours, i'm next to you, i'm in front of you, give me your hand , hold, you're holding his hand, everything's fine, what's your call sign, the wind, a fighter in a sharp ... his condition, feels abandoned and isolated, give him support, tell him that you are there and will stay with him as long as necessary, i will be there and help you, everything will be fine, during an acute stress state, those parts of the brain that are responsible for

mental activity turn off, you need them restart, ask three or four simple questions, the answers to which will be obvious, who are your brothers, a slave, a museum, who? your commander, and the beard, during the return to reality, the fighter can be disorienting. explain what happened, what is happening. and what what will happen next, we are in position , the battle has started, we need to move on, set a task, this will help him regain control, get him to start doing it, supervise him. take your weapon , follow me, i will help you, i will be there , let's go, speak confidently and clearly, avoid emotionality, move from one step to another.

in peaceful life, he was engaged in the construction of roads, and with the beginning of a large-scale invasion, he changed his profession and now defends ukraine as part of the chervona kalina assault brigade. 2 an eight-year-old from vinnytsia, a guardsman with the call sign balu, destroys the occupiers in the zaporozhye direction. the soldier told my colleagues about his military career. these are shots of the everyday life of alexander and his brothers. a native of vinnytsia with a call sign has been serving in the chervona kalina brigade for a year. i transferred to the chervona kalina brigade in the fall of 2022. i got into the anti-aircraft division. military service has begun. after a full-scale invasion, in peaceful life, alexander built roads. first, balu got to spirne in

donetsk region, a fighter together with his calculation worked on enemy air targets. we were there on the touchline, waiting for our moment. it was very difficult to shoot down the targets there, since they were already trained and they did not fly up to the distance that needed to be made to launch the rocket, they always like... discharged after five, 7, 8 km, they flew in from below and appeared a meter or two above the tips of the landing, however, our soldiers managed to hunt down the enemy birds, after the start of the counteroffensive, oleksandr, as part of the brigade, went in the direction of zaporozhye. i had my own calculation, anti-aircraft calculation, we had to cover the artillery, and also shoot down the drones, the lancets that were approaching , approaching in our direction, if we got

in the way of the martyrs, then this is first of all, if, here are the shots of our scouts smoking out the russian infantry from their positions, artillery helps speed up the escape, eventually our stormtroopers clear the trenches of the occupiers, and they flee, leaving behind ammunition and weapons. our drone sees an enemy group, let's say, sitting in a hole there, or on a position or enemy equipment, it immediately adjusts, our artillery begins to work, thereby we begin to approach, sneak up and enter from the sides and capture their positions, it also happened to pull our comrades from under fire. they approached, but they moved somewhere 100-150 meters away and their artillery began to cover and the comrade was seven meters away from me, the 120th arrived and they hit him. he was hooked and i immediately started, he says, i am 300, 300

, help, immediately threw down the machine gun, started to help him, helped him, well, lured him into his hole, helped him, bandaged him, gave first aid, porations, said that i have wounded, and continued to fight so that they did not approach, it was necessary to shoot back, balu says that in the war he feels first of all a warrior and has... a goal that he must achieve , who has what kind of mentality, i have a positive attitude, i try not to to think about the family, about the family, because if you start thinking, it's worrying, you start to lose your mind very much and you don't know what to do, so you have a specific goal, and you need to keep it, to the question , how to overcome fear, balu answers it's simple, you have to trust... if you start to worry about your life or

the life of your servicemen, this fear appears , so that this does not happen, you simply have to be sure of your comrade, that he will not abandon you, and that you, too, will you won't give up and you can fight together, relying on each other. 409. yuliya korchevska, details, tv channel intermafon single news. our next story is about a family from north donetsk. a young mother with two daughters is forced to live in a shelter in dnipro. her husband, a border guard, protects ukraine. under time is short. meetings, they made a wedding. how not to despair, live on and wait for victory? take a look. on february 24 , 2022, yana heard an air alarm for the first time in her life. a girl from severodonetsk, a husband, a border guard, a father, a rescuer , did not dare to leave the front-line town

, thank you for being with us, our broadcast continues, oleksiy homan, kateryna derkach will be working for you in this studio in the coming hours, thank you for your trust. there will be no more conscription, instead of it, recruiting the ministry of defense took a course for new changes in the army and approved the concept of personnel policy. it should be implemented within the next five years. during this time, they must switch to military service under a contract, instead, the fixed-term service will be replaced by intensive military training of citizens of conscription age. in particular, for... the recruitment system of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, they will work out a mechanism for involving young people in the defense of the homeland. equal opportunities for men and women, education and professional development will also be taken into account in the army. there are plans to improve the electronic system of military accounting, to automate and digitize processes personnel management, establish cooperation between ukrainian higher education institutions and higher education institutions of nato and eu countries. also organize a transparent system

of payment, provision of housing for the army. and create proper conditions for the transition from a military career to civilian life, we will not only talk about this today with oleksiy hetman, a military observer, a participant in the russian-ukrainian war, a reserve major, congratulations, thank you for being with us, have a good day, let's start with this thesis about the change of the likely transition from mobilization to recruiting, yes, we are now observing in some combat units have already launched such a system, in particular, the third separate assault brigade, it has its own recruiting centers , yes, that is, you can not wait for the mobilization order to come to you, the mobilization order will come, there, you can come and specifically go through , how, after passing a certain selection, to get into the ranks of a particular brigade, as far as such a format, it can be successful in general, because we understand that there are certain cases among our colleagues, in particular, when people, for example, wanted to get in, there are such problems, they wanted to get into a separate unit, yes, to serve together with their comrades, they even had this relationship,

as it was, but then due to certain obstacles or due to a greater need for specialists in other units, they did not end up there, where i wanted, and such cases are probably not isolated, but how can this system of, this concept of recruiting overcome such problems? i think i'll get over it, look, the thing is, if a person is given the right to choose the unit in which he wants to serve, well, of course. work according to his profession, well, if a person understands more, for example, about automotive technology, then of course he should work there more with this, in this direction, well, this is the so-called military accounting specialty, which , uh, a person should have, and according to this vusu, well vusu, he already has to choose from what falls under his military accounting

specialty, there can be... immediately some difficulties in the sense that a person, well, for example, he, well, it can be , well, as a doctor, for example, according to military accounting specialties, he should work as a doctor wants to work as a sniper, well, for example, then certain difficulties may arise here, i do not know yet how it is planned to arrange it, but these questions will 100% arise, because if a person has a certain military accounting specialty, then he, well, how he can go to work or, on the contrary, a person is a sniper and wants to work as a doctor, that is, there will be certain difficulties, but look, if he has, for example, a military accounting specialty, it was obtained there, the last time, let's say, after completing military service a very long time ago, and during this time a person, for example , mastered a completely different industry, it means to change, to change the question, a person chooses, or, for example, the state will choose for him, as it should be?
