ukraine will win, and i also came to the same conclusion during the orange revolution, when i observed it, what i remember from the orange revolution is the slogan, together we are many, we cannot be overcome. i think it is very important today as well, because we are together, and russia is weak because it is alone, ukraine is strong because it is united by its party. words to you, thank you once again, i think today is also a solemn day, we remember the holodomor, but also the tenth anniversary of the revolution of dignity, i

am thinking of remembering both outside ukraine and when i worked in ukraine, on the issues of ukraine, that 10 years ago, i worked to support our forces of our administration after the revolution of dignity, i can say that for the united states and for those of us who have chosen a profession for ourselves. to promote our values, to share with them, we know that for us, this is what the value and cost of freedom means to us, it is embedded in our dna, and i know that during the last, more than 10 years, in ukraine, on gives, me, i consider it a great honor for me to represent my the government, as well as its people.

his congress, to represent strong bipartisan support for ukraine in america, because the fight for freedom is our fight, as our defense minister said, what is happening, it is not just about ukraine, and as we have seen from the past, as we have seen from what is happening even today, all this affects all of us, this is a very important answer to your question, for ukraine to win, well, i am very proud that, as my president said, this was the first visit to kyiv, according to the 15 years, the visit of president biden in february, and then he said very clearly and frankly, kyiv stands strong, kyiv stands free and we stand with ukraine, yes.

thank you bridget, you are absolutely right, it is in our dna, it is true , arseniy, my word to you, as the ambassador said , the american people know the price of freedom, the same goes for the british people, they know the price of freedom during world war ii, the same as for the people of israel, they know the freedom of the country in the fight against the terrorist hamas, the same. concerns the ukrainian people ten years ago we started the struggle against the russian invasion, it was not such a violent invasion , but during the orange revolution, russia tried to rig the election and you appoint their own president, that is, the struggle for freedom never ends, we have to be in very strong shape in order to. win this fight, and

there should be no place for any weariness. you know, there are various rumors that fatigue is spreading in the free world, maybe it will be difficult to win in ukraine, we don't buy it, we don't agree with it, i'm sure you agree with it do not agree the only chance, the only option is to never give up, and this is the best recipe for victory. this concludes our first conversation, now there will be a short break and we will continue, thank you very much to all participants. very good. bravo. glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program,

him about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts and what the armed forces of ukraine are facing in winter, there is a message from the general staff of ukraine , which indicates that during the day there were 46 combat clashes between the occupiers and the defense forces of ukraine, the defense forces of ukraine continue their assault south of bakhmut and continue their offensive on melitopol direction , in the siver and slobozhansk directions, russia maintains a military presence in the border areas, conducts active sabotage activities in order to prevent the transfer of defense forces to threatening directions, and increases the density of mine and explosive barriers along the state border in the bilhora region. in the kupyan direction, the russians launched assault operations in the areas of senkivka, east of

petropavlivka and ivanivka of the kharkiv region , and there our defense forces repelled seven attacks. in the lyman direction, the occupiers of the offensive... no action was taken, and in the bakhmut direction, the troops of the russian federation carried out assaults in the districts of klishchivka and andriivka, where ukrainian defenders repelled 11 attacks, well, in fact, we see how over the past two months, the russians have been conducting active combat operations in the district avdivka, they actually destroyed this city, shelling it, and they are trying to continue storming it, have lost a lot of manpower and equipment, but despite this, the attacks continue on avdiivka, and so far they are unsuccessful, and in the zaporizhzhia direction, the troops of the russian federation offensive

actions, assault actions were not conducted, at the same time, the defense forces continue to conduct offensive operations in the melitopol direction , inflict losses on the occupying forces in manpower and equipment, exhaust the russians from... the entire front line, various flanks of the front, well, i would not give such generalizations at all grades, i always try to stick to it. well , at the moment, let's say so, the biggest, if you can put it that way, intrigue and our biggest hopes and expectations concerns the left bank of the kherson region, where our patzdarm, where already from long-term raids and sabotage actions, it was possible to move on to entrenching there and even to transfer heavy equipment there, and in fact , it is currently being decided there what exactly will be the result of the whole... this summer-autumn offensive campaign of ours,

because the bridgehead has definitely already taken place, the enemies did not succeed in throwing our defenders back to the dnipro, but the next task is much more difficult, it is precisely to expand the bridgehead, it is to break through their defenses there and enter the operational space in the rear of their defenses, there is such a chance, but i insist exactly the word chance, there are no such guarantees, this is a war where both sides perfectly understand what the price of issues is, by the way, we are always cautiously talking about the left-bank kherson region, and if you read, the so-called moscow war cows, then they are fighting on this direction, so they directly call it, the battles in kherson-crimea are directed, so it is quite clear that if our bridgehead there can be significantly expanded and from there we can turn around to march along the russian rear, then this means,

directly, the exit to the entrenchment, the exit to crimea, the problem is that the russians understand this, no worse than us, and therefore all their forces, all their reserves, will be thrown there for the time being, in order to prevent the expansion of this bridgehead, to prevent the breakthrough of their defense, for good, they don't have such a line of defense there as the surro line... in zaporizhzhia, they hoped for a long time that the dnipro, especially after the explosion of the kakhovskaya dam and the flooding of the river, that the dnipro itself is a sufficient barrier, which will hold back our further advance, they are now feverishly trying to dig in there, especially where the floodplain already begins, but they have actually admitted that the dnieper floodplain is all behind us, but further on, where the floodplain turns into such a floodplain, well, there the floodplain is very conditional, in fact, but the floodplain is compared to the floodplain

, there is generally a very flat relief, so there, where it is elevated above the floodplain, they are feverishly trying to dig something like that, but they built the surovykin line for nine months, which, unfortunately, they were given for it, for now, of course, they have there is no such time, so there will be no such fortification there, it was good, the bad thing is that, unfortunately, their... artillery did not go anywhere, and they are very actively working on our bridgehead, their aviation, that is, these 500-ton bombs, k-500 are currently the biggest problem for our defenders, who are holding there at the police station, the fact that they have extremely low accuracy, plus or minus half a kilometer, saves a little, but , on the other hand, where these bombs still arrive, well, there are very no problems there, and if we often draw parallels between. .. our war and the second world war, we can already say that for our landing in normandy

took place, but our ardennes were ahead, that is, they were able to land, dropped back into the river or were not allowed to cross the river, but now it is necessary to break through the next line of defense, which is already far from the coast, and whether it will be successful this year, or whether this task will be postponed until spring, well at the moment, no one can firmly say such a thing, and that is why i always urged to refrain from any excessive euphoria there, there is hope, but it is an important job, the enemy is fiercely resisting, and in return, our defenders, who are currently there, have a lot of needs frost struck there is a great need for heaters, thermal underwear, chemical heaters, so much for shoes and a lot more for the war in winter conditions, so i call on all our viewers to urgently get involved in the security of those parts of us that are currently there, well

, they give the most let's give us hope at the moment, and president zelenskyi says that ukraine's war with russia will not end as quickly as we would like, he stated this during a meeting with representatives of the western media, in particular the american ones, according to his in words, the world needs to pay attention to ukraine, which is fighting for its will, and people for some reason treat it like a movie , says zelenskyi, they expect that there will be no long pauses in the events, that the picture before their eyes will always change, there will be some surprises every day , but for us, for our soldiers, this is not a movie, this is our life, this is everyday life. hard work, it's good that zelensky says about it, because sometimes, when we watched the only telethon there, it seemed to us that what we were shown were also announcements, like trailers of some future films, about which we win, we are winning quickly, and there was a lot of talk, including the heads of the main intelligence department, about how quickly we will be in crimea

and how we will drink coffee there, whether in the summer or autumn, whether it will be the autumn season. what has started now, what zelenskyi says are moderate, some forecasts, which means that this war will be much longer than zelenskyi says now, that is, it will be long, but we cannot even imagine, well, in what period this will be a war, there, well , actually, the key thing is that no one at the moment, well, no one conscious, there is currently not enough information to predict exactly how long this war will be. will take, very different options are possible, from the fact that it will end on the 24th, this option is not completely excluded, and to the fact that, as some of the western analysts recently calculated, that it will drag on for 5-6 years, well to be honest, i am still more of an optimist, this assessment of 5-6 years does not seem to me to be justified yet, but we do not have the right to rule this out either, we

must be ready for any development of events, and moreover, we must prepare for worse scenarios and the better we are prepared for them, the more likely it will be that the best scenario will happen, but the russians also have their own vision and they practically do not hide it anymore, their victory strategy is calculated for the 25th year, but they quite soberly assess their possibilities in the 24th year, they believe that in the 24th year there will be no great achievements or gains. they no longer have the light, and their overarching task for the 24th year is to hold those territories that are currently occupied and grind our forces as much as possible when trying to liberate these territories, and everything else in them is based on the belief in the second coming, only we are talking about the second coming of donald trump to the white house, they believe that at the end of next year they will elect

trump, which, by the way, is not at all guaranteed, but not at all excluded, such a threat is very real . so that in the states trump is elected and then literally immediately after the election he cuts off our oxygen, stops supplying us with ammunition and weapons, and then in the 25th year they really deploy, come back and finish what failed in the 22nd year, it's their strategy, that's all based precisely on these, on the calculation, will last 24 years, during this time so... to renew the work of their defense industry as much as possible, which at the moment, after all, well, it works very weakly, it does not even compensate for those losses in technology , which they are currently carrying, that is, the difference between how much they were able to put on the front of new equipment and how much we destroyed during this time is growing every month, so they

hope to increase their defense industry by the 25th year, we vice versa. they proceed from the fact that we are nothing of our own we produce and will not produce, we are completely dependent on american aid, and accordingly, at the end of the 24th, trump blocks it for us, and then in the 25th, the balance of power changes in their favor, this is their strategy and we must understand it, developing our counter-strategy , that is, first of all, it is necessary to understand that this time, in the 24th year, they still have very limited opportunities. and we need to use this, that is, for the 24th year, try to do as much as possible, but secondly, we need to be safe, because trump can really be to choose, and we thus have a whole year, that’s what i’ll say, not just a year, i’ll say a whole year to learn at least the minimum amount of weapons and most importantly to produce ammunition for ourselves, uh, i

mean it i remember, you know, there is such an anecdote about how the lord announces that everything, humanity has caught me, i can no longer look at your sins, and in a week there will be a global flood, and there will be no more for you there there are the mountains of orararat, there is no noah's ark there, that's all that's all, that's all there in panic, in shock, in despair, and the old rabbi gathers the jews in the synagogue and says: "jews, have you heard the news? well, you have all heard such scares, the merciful lord gave us a whole week to learn to breathe underwater . we have this 24th year to substantially increase our self-sufficiency and reduce our dependence on western aid, and i think that's something we really need to focus on, uh, well, but of course, it's all, er, weapons, iron, it's all very important, without them you can't fight, but

still the key thing we have for ourselves to understand that there is also a lack of people, but insufficient, let's say success, i would not say no success at all, but the insufficient success of our summer-autumn offensive campaign is not only connected with the fact that we were slowly supplied with equipment and it is in insufficient quantities with a delay, but it is also connected with our undermobilization , and this is precisely what depends exclusively on us and on no one else, we have to correct in the 24th year, in fact, all those shortcomings that in the 23rd i was caused by something that is very common in our country there are just not enough people, you know how it hurts. when, for example, you talk to the mortarmen and they say: for the first time in this war, we have enough mines, we are destroying the ork support, there is no one to attack it, but when

you hear such things, you understand that not the whole problem is trump and biden, but a lot of things we still have to do here, and first of all, in relation to the staffing of our armed forces. well , in the meantime, the minister of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin, flew to kyiv today. who met with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi and the head of the pentagon noted that this meeting was one of the opportunities to confirm the steadfast support of ukraine by the united states of america, let's listen to what loy dostin said. we saw the courage of the ukrainian people, which really impressed the world. the message i bring to you today is that the united states is with you and will be with you for a long time. what happens here in ukraine matters not only to ukraine, but to the rest of the world, and it certainly matters to the united states america, so our allies and partners will continue to work to ensure that ukraine receives everything it needs to succeed.

he said everything and not everything, because joe biden wrote an article about why and how important ukraine's victory over russia is in the washington post, a text from joe biden was published, and what the president is writing. states of america, from the experience of the two world wars of the last century, we know that when aggression in europe remains unanswered, the crisis does not disappear by itself, it involves america directly, therefore our commitment to ukraine today is an investment in our own security, it prevents a wider conflict tomorrow, we keep american troops out of this war by supporting the brave ukrainians who defend their freedom and homeland, we provide them with weapons and how to help stop putin from conquering before he the conflict will spread further. well, by the way, the us president also pointed out the similarity between russian terrorists and hamas terrorists, to

which there was a violent reaction in russia, because they said, well, what is hamas, it's basically a bunch of terrorists there, it's a big state, and headed by putin, these , excuse me, and i understand that they were offended not by the fact that they are terrorists, but by the fact that they... were not equated with small terrorists, there are 100 of them, 140 million of them, yes, there are a bunch , is it possible to compare these two forces, the way that both biden and austin are speaking towards ukraine, what they are saying, this means that at least next year before or until the 25th year, when the new president of the united states of america will gain his powers, obviously it will be the inauguration there in january or february of the 25th year, which means that we at least let's hope for their support, now these wobbles that we are seeing now, what they have to do with the election

campaign or with the americans' misunderstanding of what they are helping ukraine for, all the problems that we see right now are divided into two categories , problems with the current administration, and those problems are relatively small, but it's a problem of, shall we say... biden's overcautiousness. notice that even in the article you just quoted, as you quoted him, it again talked about not letting putin win, about to crush the russians to the core, about the ukrainian victory, as far as i understand, has not been directly formulated again, this is this, this is the problem that largely led to the failure of our offensive in 23rd year, which the biden administration is very concerned about and all the time is afraid of some kind of escalation there with russia, and therefore allocates aid to us in a very dosed manner, but in a dosed manner, but allocates, so it is still less of a circle

of problems, but more. there was a problem with the republicans, specifically with the trump wing of the republican party, who oppose aid in general to ukraine, they believe that this is not their war at all, there is no point in writing letters, there is no point in spending taxpayers' money on this, it is better to use this money to build some kind of great chinese wall on the border with mexico, that's what their opinion, concerns the interests of the usa, and it was the trumpists who blocked the own decision of congress regarding the financing of our aid for the 24th year. well, here i still maintain cautious optimism. i think that, rightly or wrongly, after long and difficult negotiations and consultations, the biden administration still after all, he will push out from the congress a decision on funding for the 24th year, but the 25th is really not guaranteed for us, and therefore the 24th must be used to the maximum to pump up our forces, capabilities, skills,

so to speak. in general, you should make the 24th year a year of our great mobilization in all senses, both people, finance and industry, and set a goal at the end of the 24th year, not to depend on who is elected in the states. by the way, there are different positions on whether it is necessary to start any negotiations with putin, or whether there is a need for some, some kind of prologue to these peaceful negotiations, chancellor of germany. said that he is ready for new negotiations with the president of the russian federation vladimir putin, but that will only make sense if putin is ready to act, to quote scholz. he is supposed to withdraw the troops, but there are no signs at the moment that this will happen. putin should not succeed in his goal of using force to annex part of a neighboring country. why, mr. eugene,

did you pay attention to the fact that the united states of america, the leader of the united states america, and the leader of germany, do not talk about the complete defeat of russia , that is, that russia must necessarily be defeated, and ukraine must win, however, what is the victory of ukraine, i think that both scholz and biden, they i think we could also answer the question of what ukraine's victory is in different ways. well, that's the point, that it's one thing to stop putin, another thing is to defeat putin. so, at the moment it looks like our complete victory in the west will be a little afraid, in particular because they do not know what will happen in russia after that, and what they to do with that russia, in which with a very high probability, chaos will begin, various

destructive, serious ... after the lost war, they have not yet figured out what to do with russia after this war, so they are a little afraid of such a radical, let's say , the conclusion, which is exactly the one we need, the one we all dream of, but in addition, there is another moment, they are also in parallel, in every possible way avoiding the direct entry of their countries, their armies into the war with the russians, and for some reason they are very afraid of this direct entry into this war. uh why am i so skeptical about this, saying that for some reason they are afraid, because in reality russia is much more afraid of it. russia knows very well what will happen to it in the event of a direct conflict with nato countries. they had relevant experience in syria, when in the only direct confrontation between the russians and the americans, more than 200 russians and no americans died in an hour of battle. they know this ratio of forces, the ratio

of technologies, that's why russia... she herself is ready to blackmail all the time.
