[000:00:00;00] in the 23rd year, many countries did this, put forward so-called peace initiatives, the meaning of which was reduced to the fact that you accept the new territorial reality, that russia took part of the territories from you, and calm down about that, well, it seems to me that the more latin america will know information about the war in ukraine, it is all the more important for us, so it is obvious that there, even in our communication with colleagues from these countries, when we cross paths there at international events or communicate online, we feel this great lack information, regarding the security situation, regarding historical realities, so i think it is important , also, well, let's pay attention to the fact that miley, he takes such a correct position regarding the awareness of crimes in russia, i think

that on the wave... yes, such a new, new government, maybe it is a good idea to give more information not only to argentina, but to the whole region, i think that all such initiatives should be welcomed if they can be used as platforms where ukraine can present its position, but obviously we have to stand on to the ukrainian plan, that there is nothing without ukraine, about ukraine and to defend the position of the need to restore territorial... integrity and sovereignty, and the last one , you know, now there are many discussions regarding the security guarantees of ukraine, where i am convinced that no security guarantees, it cannot be outside ukraine's membership in nato, please note that there are certain security guarantees of israel, ah, and we see that there is also an attack by hamas in israel today, and the united states, of course, helps

this country with weapons, but also regarding and blocked today aid in the congress, we hope that after thanksgiving there will be a necessary debate in the congress on the restoration of aid to ukraine, which is vitally necessary for us and for israel, so here are the signals that were sounded by various representatives of nato, i consider this to be a kind of probing , regarding ukraine's membership in nato, at this stage, in the conditions that exist, i think that this can be such an important foundation that is important to develop, i was surprised by the reaction of, you know, these positive blockers, who attacked these representatives, that we will never trade our territories, in exchange for nato membership there, this is barbarism, because none of the nato countries will ever recognize the occupation of crimea and other territories

of ukraine, never, it is obvious, let's go. let's remember how for decades nato did not recognize the occupation of the baltic countries by the soviet union, or the occupation, in fact by the soviet bloc , of parts of germany under the warsaw pact, and this should be understood that ukraine, a member of nato , can fight for our territories in a political and diplomatic way, thank you , thank you, ms. iryna, this was iryna gerashchenko, people's deputy of ukraine, co-chair of the european solidarity faction 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 watching us live on youtube and facebook, be sure to like this video and subscribe to our pages on these platforms, in continuation of this program, we are conducting a survey, we are asking you about whether ukraine can compromise with russia in order to end the war, yes, no, it's quite simple,

well, you see, you are now on the screens of the phone numbers that you called and you can also vote, all calls to these numbers are free, if you think that ukraine can compromise with russia in order to end the war, 0800-211-381, no , 0800 211-382. i repeat once again, all calls to these numbers are free, then we have serhiy kryvonos, major general of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, former first deputy commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine and former successor to the secretary of the national security council. mr. general, i i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today. good evening. glory to ukraine to all. glory to heroes. mr. general, information appeared today with reference to the press service of the ministry of defense that problematic issues will be studied in ukraine and the construction of fortifications on the front will be monitored. the ministry of statistics and the ministry of defense together with

entrepreneurs want to create fortifications. buildings, closer to the front, a reform is planned, as stated in the ministry of defense announcement, which will define areas of responsibility, the military will be entrenched on the first line of defense, on the second and third, the state recovery agency and private companies, why, mr. general, did the shmygal government only now start talking about fortification , when the russians were already fortifying there along and across the south, well, this just shows the level of perception and professionalism of those who lead the ukrainian people, this is a poor green coincidence, which does not directly understand anything, except for the removal of short sections. unfortunately, maybe mine , you know, such aggressive behavior was more possibly correct, but it has already gotten, many specialists have already told them about it, and

they have been talking for more than the first month and not the first year, but the visa is still there , you see, and this is the most annoying thing, we are losing huge, invaluable personnel, without it we are losing the best guys and very... often because we do not have time positions were prepared directly for our fighters. you, in september 2021, dmytro kuleba flew to washington, and one of the high-ranking officials in washington said: "guys, let's dig the trenches, because there is data from american intelligence, there will be an offensive and we need to dig trenches. then, actually, about what should dig trenches, no one in ukraine." did not say in september of the 21st year, as well as later , why, well, why in your opinion, having all the maps , including data, of foreign intelligence, not

only american, but also british , why didn't the authorities make these trenches, which would eventually help, well, at least protect the south, the countries and mariupol, well , as for the south, there was more than enough and mined, that's why there are fewer questions in the south , and why it was not done in the same kharkiv region, why not was done in chernihiv oblast, sumy oblast, kyiv oblast, that's what the question is, and to the question of why, er, from my point of view , investigative actions must be conducted, they are currently being conducted, but for some reason only the military is asked, for some reason they are not asked from the political leadership of ukraine, as you well know, such a selective check is carried out, that everything is the fault of the military, and directly, the political leadership, which there rolled shuttles into the districts of kalanchak, talked about peace there,

the president came to demining the sea of ​​azov, watched, and such examples more than enough, that's why the problem lies with those politicians who tried to say, even on february 21, they said that they don't see a threat, they don't... absolutely nothing and you don't need to do anything there, break, disassemble, your backpacks, immediate emergency backpacks that the people were preparing for the war, this government, knowing that there would be a large invasion , did nothing to prepare the territory, the economy and the people to repel a large aggression, sir, this is considered only as one word, sabotage, mr. general, for the military, was it you think a big war is just inevitable of course, look, there is still information about the allocation of funds, again, obviously with some delay, but the budget for the 24th year has been formed, the deputy minister of defense says

that uah 175 billion will be spent on the purchase of missiles and ammunition, on military equipment about 80 billion, are these funds enough to provide the armed forces of ukraine with weapons and ammunition, or should we still talk about the creation of a large military economy, the ukrainian economy should eventually come to military rails, as the russian one is doing now the federation, very quickly they are reworking all logistics, into this system and begin to mold more missiles and weapons than was the case in the 22nd year, we must do the same, our allies and immediate partners have repeatedly said this specialists who paid attention to the independence of development and the restructuring of the ukrainian economy on a military basis, and what we hear in response from our managers, that in

the private sector it is impossible to transfer the economy to a military basis, well, if they are not read a single book, then discover how the completely private economy of the united states during the second world war ensured. the army with the right amount of weapons, and in addition provided a huge number of allies, including the soviet union, and they were either weak or did not read books. when such things are said. the ministry of defense also reports, forgive me, i will quote them a lot, because they are starting to inform more about what they do, and i am interested in your professional opinion, because the information itself is not enough to understand whether it is good or not bad, is this enough or not enough, so the ministry of defense plans to transfer the armed forces to ukrainian production , we are talking about body armor, helmets, tactical equipment, clothes and food for the armed forces, entrepreneurs are ready to fully provide the physical needs

of the armed forces with quality goods, deputy minister of defense dmytro klymenkov says that in the 24th year, the ministry of defense's innovation enterprise, the procurement agency in defense sector. here's what we've seen over the course of two. years of the war, when there were tenders , which then forced the leadership of the ministry of defense to retire, but at least it was a soft resignation, but purchases, food, equipment, there were always some questions before that, why do you think there is no order in the ministry of defense wartime and why the ministry of defense cannot. carry out normal purchases and properly

build all logistics so that all citizens of ukraine understand that they do not make money from this, because it is generally a matter of life and death when people are not given something at the front, everything is very simple, impunity breeds irresponsibility, irresponsibility breeds chaos, when there are no free branches on the trees around the ministry of defense, on which there will be... those who stole people's money during the war, then there will be no order in this country, this is the first, the second, which is directly related to procurement and production at the expense of ukrainian manufacturers, this is all great and this is a good idea and it has been around for a long time, but there is one problem, any new managers who come to the ministry of defense tell good stories things are received at the exit... sorry, it's always crazy, and you only mentioned tangible property and

products, for some reason you did not mention the billions of stolen money on the purchase of artillery shells, mortar mines, anti-tank, anti-personnel mines, on the purchase of weapons, and what concerns our producers directly, when the producers will have a firm guarantee at the state level that they will not be abandoned, will not be abandoned from the price policy, that the order they receive will ... continue and will not be canceled, because very often they are simple things are thrown at our manufacturers, if the manufacturer understands that he will have an order for a year, for two, for three, for four and understands the system, then he will find investors, he will find the money that directly helped him to increase his capabilities, it is necessary to give a clear guarantee for our manufacturers and support , and then we can abandon the ba things that we

, on which we spend money, as far as our western sponsors are concerned, today there was a stake of the supreme commander and it was about mobilization, demobilization and territorial assembly centers, what zelensky said, i will quote him now, and so that we understand what the president of ukraine is saying. a significant part of today's meeting was devoted to a set of questions regarding which our soldiers and the whole society expect fair answers, it concerns mobilization, demobilization, rotation in the armed forces of ukraine, questions about conscripts who were called up for service before the start of a full-scale invasion, of course, special attention was paid the situation with the work of military medical commissions and military personnel, what what the soldiers are saying, what the teams are saying about them, must be decided today ... as for the first reports of chief commissar zaluzhnyi, minister of defense umerovov,

minister of internal affairs klymenko, minister of health lyashko, chief of the general staff shaptala, i expect a more meaningful study of each of these issues by the government and the military and specific proposals regarding state decisions, well, the main issue is mobilization and demobilization, because those people who have been at the front for two years, and some more, because they were drafted into the army previously mobilized. er, how do you think, in what way should this be resolved, and again, why are all these decisions so late, why is there no clarity for those who hold the weapons at the front. there is no clarity as to who should serve and return from the front, well, you need to clearly understand, first of all, the president does not speak, the president reads what was written to him, this is the first, second, you need to understand that, no about which demobilization during the war cannot be a language, because

demobilization ends accordingly when the state of war ends, we have a state of war no, we have martial law. the next question, well, it’s simple, you know, a play on words, nothing more, nothing less, we don’t have enough people , we don’t have systematic training at the level of the state of people to replenish our combat units, we are told about demobilization, it’s just a distraction to society, nothing more , no less, the government engages in empty chatter, and no more, and i have not seen anything else, in the absence of strategic communications and in the absence of a single direction of informational and psychological operations, there will be no point. well, sir general, i cannot but ask you about what zelensky said in an interview with the british tabloid the sun. he said that military personnel who are going to engage in politics should not engage in war, i will quote

zelensky again, that’s for sure, he himself already said: if a military person decides to engage in politics, it is his right, then he should go into politics. and then he... can engage in war, if you lead a war , meaning that tomorrow you will engage in politics or elections, then in words and on the front lines you act like a politician, not military man, i think this is a huge mistake, but i have a fairly simple question, when the president talks about politics and the military, it is clear that without the military, who are currently at the front, well, no politics at all, no politics at all lead, or do you think this passage referred to specific military officials, military officers, military commanders, whom zelsky perceives as competitors there in some kind of political battle, struggle, although no high-ranking official, military official said that

he is engaged in politics, does he want to be the president, does he want to be the prime minister, does he want to take power in the country, well, the question is exactly who you were talking about, in general, well, this is funny, eh - well, they say that the military, i don’t see , what kind of lousy you are talking about, lousy politics in general, at this stage it is absolutely not clear that the lousy is speaking, we only have one military man there, an active military man speaks constantly on all channels and tells his predictions that have never come true, and you know, great this is a surname, and well, at certain moments it is surprising, to put it mildly, as far as the industrious is concerned, it is in general, they, i mean, the leadership of the country is very worried that after the end of the war, the industrious can become a powerful isenhauer, as it was

right at the end of the second world war in the united states, but let's first understand whether we have an end to the war, and notice, the president always talks about peace, but there can be no peace without victory, the noble always talks about victory, that's another difference , politicians tell the military, that it is not necessary to engage in politics, humiliating the military in many cases and encouraging them to engage in politics, let the military fight and they will absolutely not engage in this politics, therefore information manipulation, accusations of those who do not engage in this with the aim of, you know, creating, perception the fact that our leadership, the civilian military, the civilian leadership, is very nervous about the rating, up to the rating , that our military has, and the military in particular, clearly fighting, it very often happens, you know, under the pressure of the political leadership in making certain decisions, and i'll be honest,

it's the civilian leadership in our country, especially the op, that pushes the military to go into politics, let them fight, don't get involved. and do not envy their rating and everything will be fine, let the best civilians deal with the economy, let them deal with the preparation of territories, let them deal with the preparation of the population, and then everything will be fine. thank you, mr. general, for taking part in our program, this was serhiy kryvonos, major general of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, former first deputy commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine. friends, we are working live on telekanaluso, as well as on our youtube platforms. and on facebook, for those who are currently watching us live on these platforms, please like this video so that it is trending on youtube and facebook, and vote in our poll, today we ask you the following: can ukraine make compromises with russia in order to end the war, yes, no, everything is

quite simple on youtube, if you have an opinion, please leave a comment under this video, if you watch us on tv, you can take your smartphone and call the number, if you think that ukraine can compromise with russia to end the war, 0800 211-381, no 0, 800 382 i want to say one more thing, friends, on november 25, the presentation of my book, battle for kyiv, will take place in lviv, it will be in the bookstore at 7 svobody avenue. anyone who wants to chat and come to the presentation, please come, it is in the center of lviv, i will wait for you all this is what this book looks like, i will be happy to answer all questions, since this book is written about heroes, about those people who found themselves in the center of the war, precisely during

the russian offensive from the north and east of ukraine on the ukrainian capital. well, then we have volodymyr tsibulko, political scientist, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today. congratulations mr. serhiy, i think i am also the hero of this book, you are also this hero, the hero in this book, therefore i am you. i also invite you to the presentation, sir vladimir, let's start with today's news that was published by the washington post, that the russians and the chinese are trying to build, or are discussing the construction of a russia-crimea tunnel, they, the russians are afraid that the ukrainian defense forces will collapse the crimean bridge, and they have decided to kerch strait to build this tunnel. and well, it seems to me that the width of the kerch strait is up to 15 km, and how

to make a channel, such and such a route, such a sea route from the taman peninsula to kerch, what do you think, given what it says washington post, well, obviously, the data of this publication is quite solid and they are responsible for what they write. how likely is the implementation of this project? well, as far as i understand, the washington post refers to the data of some registry, where such a contractual structure was essentially formed, the enterprise that should build it, from the chinese side, it is called an enterprise that is engaged in the construction of railways, railway complexes. and well, it is possible that

it could be, it seems to me that this is a mistake was made precisely in view of the fact that cooperation between china and the united states suddenly began to emerge, and it was necessary to remind the russians that they, that the bipolarity of such a bipolar world between china and the united states will not work, that it is necessary to... make a triangle with russia and so similar, well, these are such, by the way, obsessive ideas of russians, which are constantly floating around, but if you look at the economic potentials of russia and china, then russia may not be a corner of a triangle, it may only be a shoelace on sidzenpin's shoelaces and nothing more , what about the appearance of any of the chinese... structure, well, as a contractor, there are several factors here, if china

does not, well, how the chinese authorities will not stop in any way, the chinese business from working in the occupied territories, and this, in fact, by law, the territory of crimea belongs to ukraine, that is, according to international law and interfere with the work on ukrainian territory without the permission of the ukrainian authorities, management is simply, well , occupation, to put it mildly, therefore the chinese company, which appears as a partner in this project, may be subject to severe sanctions, and this is really embarrassing the prospects of the of the chinese authorities, to somehow reach a more predictable relationship with the united states, because... the crisis in which china is in, well, the economic crisis in which

china is in, it could not be overcome, its consequences cannot be overcome without access to the american credit market , the american technology market and, most importantly, to the american consumer market, so that the chinese can sell their wide range of needs further to the united states. let me remind you that the negative, negative trade balance of the usa with china is, in my opinion, 350 billion. well, by the way, not about about this company and about this tunnel, said the minister of foreign affairs of france catherine kolomna, she said that china should prevent its companies from supporting the russian army, let's listen to what she said. we call on china to continue working in accordance with the ukrainian peace plan, and we sincerely hope that the chinese authorities will not allow any foreign organization to directly or indirectly

support russia's military efforts in ukraine. you see, they are already starting to refer to the ukrainian peace plan in europe, although we we know that on february 24, 2023, china formulated 12 points there, regarding, as they say, the crisis in ukraine, although in fact, well, we see how the chinese are trying to play on the whole field of the world field and xi jinping meets with biden, biden calls xi jinping dictator in public. xi jinping is offended, the ministry of foreign affairs of the people's republic of china says that this is not possible, the russians say that they are friends with china, but so far , china and the united states of america have not become, as beijing wants, the two forces that

will divide the spheres of influence in the world , is it possible to wait for some movements of china towards russia for that, but it simply left our territory , went away, well , the speed of recovery of china's economy depends on this, because already now, even in the current year, there is a very serious outflow of investment capital from the territory of china, and the most important thing is that a part of these capitals flows to india, a direct competitor of china, of course, that so far the indian economy is about two and a half times... probably, well, there 2.5 atoms is almost three times smaller than the chinese one, but overall growth dynamics india and this alternative to the chinese project of one belt, one road, the project of a transport corridor from india to the european union, creates such circumstances that, in principle, china

can very quickly lose the status of the world's second economy, although it is not the world's second economy, because really the second economy of the world, even the first economy of the world is the economy of the european union as a whole, uh, and then the united states, uh, just, well, and the consumer market, by the way, the consumer market of the european union now occupies the first place in trade with china, that is, it is the number one market sales for chinese products. and china can move very quickly from this position, if it does not take into account the position of the same france or germany, because the separate trade of france and germany with china is very fundamentally different, because it is an opportunity to receive technology, of the highest order, from germany itself and from france, in particular,

the chinese automobile industry with... in many respects due to its own cooperation with china and china with germany, first of all, and secondly with france. mr. volodymyr, let's return to ukraine and what is happening in ukraine, today, the supreme commander-in-chief's vote took place and, as zelenskyi says, it was important and difficult, because it was about mobilization, demobilization, let's listen to what zelenskyi said. a significant part of today's meeting was devoted to a set of questions regarding which our soldiers and the whole society expect fair answers, it concerns mobilization and demobilization, rotation in the armed forces
