with two russian soldiers. currently, he faces up to 12 years in prison. december 6 is the day of the armed forces of ukraine. the law was passed back in 1991, but the attitude towards the holiday was radically changed by the full-scale war and the desperate heroism demonstrated by our defenders in the fight against the enemy. on the day of zaha's professional holiday , we would like to tell you about one of our brave soldiers. for almost 10 years, the ukrainian army has been fighting the most insidious enemy - russia. at the cost of their own lives, our soldiers tear the occupiers out of the hands of the occupiers a piece of native land. one of these is a military man with the call sign wolverine. yuriy was our colleague and worked on the espresso bila tserkva tv channel as a camera crew administrator. currently serves in 71st

airborne assault brigade, joined its ranks in 2022, and yuriy has long associated his life with military affairs, completed his military service, and then in the 14th year became a member of the ato. i was not called up, my friend was called up, as he and i served together in short-term service, and i came to the army and asked to be taken from them too. together, it turned out that i got into intelligence, he was in rembat, and then granite, ilovaisk, olhinka, avdiyivka, for 2014, everyone thought that it would be for a week or two, well , a month at the most, no one thought that it it will take so long, in the distant 14th, neither we nor the enemy were sufficiently prepared, rossomach recalls.

but with that number of people and morally outdated weapons, we still made a colossal contribution to deterring the invaders. he was 22 years old at the time, and he didn't know how serious... this war could be. at first we watched 95 arrive the airborne assault brigade , they told us there, of course we didn't believe it there, but everything will be cool, we are cool fighters there, and when the first one left, they heard shots fired at us , well, at first they all ran away, and then gathered together, well, you understand, what did we come here for, in 2017, after a serious injury from a soldier, he left the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, having received a disability, already at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, in june he was called up again to the army, he claims that he guessed that there would be a big war, so he was preparing in advance. on february 23, his brothers called him and advised him take the family away. he recalls that at that time in ato

, ukrainians fought with soviet-type weapons, and there were no rockets and aviation at all. nowadays , the equipment of defenders is more modern and adjusted. pro-nato standards, a similar situation with the training of fighters, but we should not forget that the enemy has also been preparing for the offensive for a long time, more people are professionally trained, well, because of the fact that nato partners help us, there is britain, poland, we go all the time to qualification improvement, we take various courses, in medicine, in tactics, well, this all means a lot, now...ukraine has two injuries, and the number of contusions can no longer even be counted. returning to relatively peaceful cities , he emphasizes, people forget that there is a war, and the enthusiasm and patriotism that was at the beginning is very lacking, but when fighting at ground zero, he always

remembers his native home, his beloved and his parents, who are eagerly waiting for him with a dream victory . lyubov gerashchenko, oleksandr kuga, espresso, white church. our journalist natalka stareprava saw how the armed forces of ukraine day is celebrated in lviv. she is in direct contact with us now. natalya, congratulations, tell me. greetings kateryna, greetings to our viewers. so, on the day of the armed forces of ukraine, the lychakiv cemetery in lviv honors the memory of all the heroes who died in the war, defending our country, fighting for our independence and the freedom of our people. states started the event from the field of mars, later we moved to the memorial to the heroes of the russian-ukrainian war, now a memorial service is taking place, in a respectful prayer for all those who died in this war , the city leadership, the command of the garrison and the families of the fallen heroes joined the event, we

means and what causes it contributes to. we will talk about this and other things over the course of the next hour with our guests, people's deputy of ukraine, sbu colonel roman kostenko, political expert volodymyr tsybulyuk and journalist roman tsimbalyuk. the second part of our program will feature people's deputies of ukraine, elizaveta yasko, friz and yaroslav yuurchyshyn. however, before starting our big conversation, let's watch a video of how the armed forces of ukraine destroyed an enemy column in the village of glatkivka in the kherson region. the video appeared on the network, artillery strikes managed to destroy more than 70 invaders, and many attackers were wounded. let's see.

friends, for those who are currently watching us live on youtube and facebook, please subscribe to our pages and also like this video, in addition, during our program, we conduct a survey, today we ask you about the following: would you like to see zaluzhny in politics, yes, no, please vote on youtube with two buttons, yes, no, or please leave your opinion in the comments under this video, if you are sitting in front of the tv, pick up your phone or smartphone and vote, if you would like to see a good man in politics, vote on 0800-21381, no, 0800-210-382, all calls to these numbers are available free of charge, at the end of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote. we are in touch with roman kostenko, people's deputy

of ukraine, colonel of the security service of ukraine. mr. colonel, i welcome you and thank you for joining our conversation. i wish you health. it is not in vain that we ask about valery zaluzhnyi and whether people would like to see him in politics, because even despite his will, he is already being pushed into politics by various political forces. first of all, the president's office actively comments a lot about what it is doing zuluzhny rightly, wrongly, through your people's deputies, you as a person who came to politics from the security service, or there were missions of the security service of ukraine to politics, what do you think, whether there is a place for zuluzhny in politics or not, or whether you would like to see him there? listen, we have. every person in the country is a soldier , regardless of what profession you have,

has the right to be in politics, so i think that now we should first of all talk about the fact that we have a hard worker, he is the commander-in-chief, and he should do issues, namely, the release of ours territory and the defeat of the enemy, relatively involved in politics, i think someday the time will come when we will talk about it, although i would not like to talk about it. thank you, a comprehensive answer, mr. colonel, er, literally, right now, congress is supposed to start a review, or at least ... a hearing on whether to provide financial assistance, allocate money to help the ukrainian state, or rather the armed forces of ukraine, 61 billions of dollars are at stake, and president zelenskyy must speak via video link in front of congressmen and explain and convince them that this must

be done, on the eve of all this, a huge article about the counter...offensive appeared in the washington post, and there are a lot of conclusions that everything did not go according to plan, and zaluzhn had to change tactics, the conclusions are there about the fact that the united states of america provided 20 salvo launchers, 40 mine rollers, 1,000 torpedoes, 80,000 smoke grenades, and 1,500 armored vehicles on time, well, i think that you definitely know the content of this material and there is no point in retelling it how do you rate this washington post publication how much what is stated is true and is it related to this particular package, the next 61 billion dollars, because obviously, what appeared in the washington post, it was directed first of all to the internal reader, to the reader in the united states of america, a bad common

story , the fact that in, let's say, after two years of war and in general full-scale and 10 years in general after russia, breaking all the rules, annexed part of the territory after the second world war and after ukraine gave up its, including nuclear the united states also had weapons for them, i 'm not even speaking for russia, but britain and other countries were, actually had, well, they were guarantors of our independence, now there is a general discussion. in the congress of the united states, and whether to help ukraine, and our commander-in-chief, the president, should appear before them and say that yes, we need it, because against us, uh, aggression, and this speaks of the weakness of democratic countries, this is what putin was counting on in the first place,

when he failed in the blitzkrieg, thanks, including not to our partners, but in the first months, it is not the ukrainian people here , not the leader, not the supreme leader, exclusively the ukrainian people, who stopped the aggression, because all that we had then, it showed that it did not have to stop the aggression, the ukrainian people showed that they can do it, and of course the question now is that democracy is weak and putin, having entered the phase of a long war, he understands that precisely those trends regarding the change of political leaders in democratic countries, game on different strata of the population, on their opinions , as it was in the countries that won by the fact that let's give humanitarian aid to ukraine, and it won't, and we won't give a single bullet, and at the same time they elect a majority in the parliaments there, this shows about the weakness of democracy, which it manifests, in general, it should have been the other way around, the war in the democratic countries

of ukraine against the russian federation should have been, should have been ruled out, parentheses in general, for any political games, let's say so, or political processes, and it was not enough to pass of course, each political power had to understand that it helps, but now we have what we have, we have to fight first of all on the front, our military front, and also fight on the political front, going to every country and proving that we help is needed, as if these countries do not see what is happening in our country, i will say that some of these decisions are political, which, well , there were, what can i say, in our, in our judges in slovakia, who made decisions, for example, not to provide assistance to ukraine, other countries, the same hungary, of course, they weaken us not by a large percentage, because after all

, we receive help and we can produce something there ourselves. and, but in the historical perspective, i will now go so far, it will hit these countries very hard, the countries that refused to help when the aggressor destroyed the civilian population, destroyed the army, destroyed the lands of the neighboring country, and the politicians simply they refused this, so once again, democracy is what is happening now, including when our president has to speak, in parliament and prove, to prove that we need help, when the genocide of the ukrainian people is going on, when we are trying to return our land, when russia attacked us, this indicates that the war in ukraine... has simply become part of the political processes in democratic countries, and it can end very badly for us and for these

countries, by the way, today, december 5, 29 years ago, the budapest memorandum was signed and presidents kuchma, yeltsin, bill clinton and british prime minister john major signed this document. that is, how it is not paradoxical, but that it is on this day that zelensky needs to prove in washington that america must fulfill its obligations, well , at least within the framework of the budapest memorandum, since they guaranteed us security and, it is clear that russia has long since violated all its obligations , but to appeal to the united states of america as one of the guarantors, although you know, conducting such historical events, i want to say that on december 7 , 1944, the allied landings in

normandy were made, so i would like, despite the , what are we saying, in two days, to, say, this date also brought us some news, at least such news, which would allow us to feel the forces of resistance to france, which were met at that time... the forces, well, the forces of the allies during the liberation of the shores of normandy, france, all of europe, and later. well, in the meantime , the national security adviser to the president of the united states of america, jake sullivan, called on congress to support the white house's request for additional funding for ukraine, hinting at the fact that refusing to vote for it would help the russian federation, let's listen. i i believe that any member of congress who does not support funding for ukraine is voting for an outcome that will make it easier for putin to win, i.e. a vote against supporting ukraine is

a vote for improving putin's strategic positions, this is simply not a reverse reality, a vote against additional funding for ukraine will harm ukraine and help russia, it will harm democracy and help dictators. we believe this is the wrong history lesson, and that is why every member of congress, democrat and republican, should vote for support of this funding. mr. colonel, jake sullivan did not say that it will hurt the united states of america, that is, this whole story, because they are only looking at it in terms of what it will do for putin, and how it will hurt ukraine, but it is not only about about ukraine, i think, mr. serhiy, he associated himself with democracy when he said that it will harm democracy, apparently, well, the united states always associates itself with a country that brings democracy to other countries and supports it as a model of democracy , i think he is associated himself higher, even than the country,

associated with democracy, right here, but you are right that it will really affect, directly hit the united states and its allies, but look, mr. roman, you are talking about something that is not clear , why do we have to prove every time, defending ourselves and experiencing... the war, the great war of russia against ukraine and proving that we need shells, that we need help, that in the end we need help, because we are being killed, putin is killing us , who else in the world did not understand this, and why the world with this puts up, this is probably where we started, because for many this war is far away, and many in this war are starting to conduct... let's say their political campaigns and probably collect their political dividends, including because even when

i was in the united states, many ordinary educated citizens with whom i spoke, they quite strongly support ukraine, but we see that some congressmen there, some senators, they, well, i will not say that they directly do not support ukraine, but they refer on their voters, i think they are looking for... or an opportunity to score some political points somewhere, or, as they say in politics, to bargain for some, er, some opportunities for support or not support, especially information e- e politics including when the war broke out in the middle east, where from my point of view, i think it is a fact, the russians also intended, when they helped the palestinians, to do it in order to divert attention... uh- it's just from ukraine and they chose exactly this direction, because they understood that this conflict could distract attention, it really did distract attention,

including the resettled... uh, americans, and there was more talk about this conflict, although ours is on a completely different scale, and such a war is being waged , including the information one, which we will lose, and from my point of view, we will also lose the diplomatic war, because our diplomats are not doing their job somewhere, well, if they started giving us less weapons, who is to blame, the soldier on the battlefield, no no. commander-in-chief and soldiers, they fight that on the battlefield, what is given to them, and the task of the supreme commander, the minister of defense, the minister of foreign affairs, and the verkhovna rada in the face of those deputies who are released abroad, apparently under a receipt or there under special loyalty to the office, their task is to provide the armed forces to they had something to fight on the battlefield, if the armed forces are not provided, and i believe that they

are not adequately provided now, that is a matter for the negotiators, if i say that if they are not able to cope, then there is a need to change , it is necessary to conduct i do not i know, some kind of selection, and people are not even a selection, those who have the right, have connections, all have to go and convince our partners, our friends, our colleagues from all the parliaments of the world, europe, and america, so that we help is needed, of course, by the way, russia is very successful in this regard, they, people are just everywhere, and of course we conduct electoral diplomacy, which is mainly handled by the office of the president and the department, well, what do i call the ministry of foreign affairs, the department of the office president for foreign affairs affairs, this is our ministry of foreign affairs, and that's not enough , everyone, everyone who has

some... position, some connections, meaning the verkhovna rada, the executive power, and all others, should be engaged in diplomacy during the war. and do everything so that ukraine has as many allies as possible. mr. colonel, i wanted to ask you at the very end of our conversation about the bill on demobilization, on mobilization, because today venislavsky publicly said that there are temporary guidelines for servicemen who were mobilized in the first days of the war, 36 months of service, and there is a list of how these 36 months are counted, who serves under martial law, who participates in ensuring territorial integrity and sovereignty, who was in captivity, how is it all there is calculated and how it is all calculated, is there already some final version of this draft law that will be presented in the verkhovna rada, because by the end

of the year, i understand that this law should appear, no, there is no final version, i do not know will he appear before the end of the year, there is a group will work, you understand how sensitive these issues are, if we understand that the draft law that was drafted on lowering the conscription age has been with the president for six months, and it is very sensitive for him, in particular, we understand, well, it can be done conclusions from the point of view of political issues, because he is, let's say, unpopular. and here the issues are being considered more widely and i think that the president is now waiting for more such, more extensive proposals, he has already set a task for the minister, the minister of defense, and to the commander -in-chief, the cabinet of ministers, to submit proposals regarding mobilization and demobilization, so here the question is not only for the verkhovna rada, i think that there will be general proposals, and then from these general proposals it will be understood what

is possible, what issues can be solved by that the president will sign something or make a new decree , something will be done by the cabinet of ministers, and something will be introduced by the verkhovna rada into laws, so we have to wait for proposals, and the fact that there are developments, such as vanislavskyi said, yes, but it is not yet final document, it is constantly changing and it is too early to speak, thank you, colonel, for the conversation, it was roman ko people's deputy of ukraine, colonel of the security service of ukraine. friends, we continue to work live on tv channel as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us on these platforms, please subscribe to our pages and also like this video. in addition, take part in our vote, today we ask you about what you would like to see in politics valery zaluzhnyi, yes.
