, volodymyr zelenskyi said about the possible mobilization of 500,000 people, well, at least he said that the military people are convinced that exactly such a number of people are necessary for the armed forces of ukraine. let's listen to what zelensky said, then continue. the issue is very sensitive, i believe, they addressed, regarding the defense of our state and potential counter-offensive actions, regarding the deficit, and their view was on the stake, that they offered to mobilize an additional 450-500 thousand people, this is a very serious number, eh- er, i said that i need more arguments to support this

direction, because this is the question first people, and the second is a question of justice, a question of defense capability and a question of finances. mr. colonel, what does the mobilization of 500,000 people in 2024 mean, that is , zelensky said about 500 billion hryvnias and that a lot of resources are needed to carry out this large mobilization, what this mobilization will give and whether it is necessary to carry out this one in such a quantity. .. the mobilization of the 24th year, well, it all depends on those plans, which must be agreed among themselves by the rate from the very beginning and on the current situation, which is on the fronts and with regard to the security of our units, staffing

, i will say this, in principle, i know perfectly well the situation that... exists with regard to mobilization, i will say this way that the situation in our country in mobilization is very bad now, and uh, when the president talks about such numbers, i think , plus or minus average numbers, which, i think, will allow us to keep the situation as it is, i think that it is not a question of some counterattacks, it is a question of some active actions, it is a question of to stabilize the situation. it is possible to demobilize someone, it is possible for someone there, let's say, to have the possibility of rotation, that's why you need plus or minus this amount of news, here you can tell a lot of things in more detail, but unfortunately you can't, because all this information, it's generally a question of mobilization, it's secret and

in general, when the president says such numbers, it means that, well... these numbers, they are a state secret, and therefore we must understand that based on these numbers, the enemy also hears how many we are going to call up there, which problems we have there question, and of course it can also be responded to, therefore specific issues, they cannot be specified , but the fact that we need to mobilize unequivocally, that we have problems with mobilization, this is a fact, i can confirm them, that now we have... something to work on. mr. colonel, just a few days before zelenskyi's press conference , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny, said that he was not satisfied with the release of the regional military, because it is still too early to assess the new recruitment project for the armed forces of ukraine, and mobilization in ukraine 23 -th year should return to those

the framework in which she worked before. let's hear what he said. general zaluzhnyi: let's try to appreciate it a little too soon, a little too soon. and as for the issues of mobilization, well , it is not something that needs to be strengthened, but to return those boundaries, those frameworks, as they worked before, because now it is, let's say this, the problem of those guys who are fighting on the front line, someone has to replace them , they have to be helped by someone, and they are now, well, over time... it remains exactly the same, it is completely wrong, so it just needs to be returned to the framework in which the wine, in which you worked earlier, the dismissal of the regional military committees greatly affected the effectiveness of mobilization, they were professionals, they knew how to do it, mr. colonel, i know that now the verkhovna rada

of ukraine is considering several draft laws that relate to both mobilization and demobilization. is there already any final version of the projects that will be included in none, mr. serhiy, we are not considering any, that is, there are no draft laws yet, as such, there is work, work, well, now i understand, groups of the ministry of defense, which we recently came, presented these bills , they are debatable there, and there are many norms that still need to be finalized , there are no ready-made drafts, what the president said there, that he is already there and... some drafts, they even, let’s say, there are drafts, but there are no ready-made norms, i don’t know when they will be, there yesterday, literally , we at the committee considered one of the bills, and there was an issue, including the registration of women, and practically none of the people’s deputies of the committee supported it, well so you can say 90% did not support it,

we have already discussed this issue, there are some other norms, of course, they will also discuss demobilization. issues were discussed, in particular, what would be the term there, 36 months or 24 months, what norms should be made for 36 months for everyone, for example, or 36 months for everyone in general, and for those who took part in hostilities there no less than half a year to make it possible to mobilize there after 24 months, i am more of a supporter of such norms that those who directly participated in the battles were in combat orders, they would have the right rather where. that's why they have all these norms, and now a mini-group of the ministry of defense is working on it, they presented it to us, we gave our comments there and they went to finalize it, so i think... that it is right that it will be submitted by the ministry of defense through the cabinet of ministers, so that no matter what, they say about the deputies that they should do it, we have

several people, so that everyone understands, in the country, who are responsible for mobilization and demobilization, this is the supreme commander, this is the government and this is the commander-in -chief, and here is the first queue of the commander-in-chief and from the government must go to work, of course with approval. with the commander-in-chief, what do you want, because the deputies do not know the plans, the deputies do not know how much there is, someone has to mobilize for the next year, our task is to give funds, expel and make the right laws so that the army works normally, so that it could regulate her - let's say internal relations, so that she could write off property that the president has not yet signed military bills directly, let's say. they still can't do it, write it off property, and this is the task of the verkhovna rada , to ensure life activities and laws

, namely the budget, namely mobilization , the norms, how it will look, this is the question of volodymyr, zelenskyi, this is the question of glavkom zaluzhno and this is the question of the minister of defense, well or shmygalya therefore, they should submit it and then divide it, they will say, we see that there are people who have to demobilize, how many conscripts should be like this, then conscripts should be released or not released, or re-enlisted and then split it, what, for example, if i need to reduce age, who should do this, the president, because the law has been with him for more than six months, and for some reason he does not sign it, i don't know why, probably because it is possible to lose some political dividends, this is bad. we are still thinking about it now, he did not sign it. the next, er, let's say, moment, this is, for example, what we talked about with you, various accounts, issues of disabled people, issues there,

crossing borders, there is this or that care, these are legislative issues, some issues, issues are for the government , and then comprehensively, when there is a solution, it is necessary hand out these tasks and we will accept them, but that’s not what they said, you will work and the verkhovna rada again, you will see, it will be like this... do nothing now, neither the government, nor the president’s office will do anything, and the verkhovna rada will adopt this law , they will vote, they will test society, how this bill will be perceived in society, if they sign it well, if not, it will go to where it lies and for 25 years, where the bill on writing off property lies, and it will lie there, because it will be unpopular, therefore, but the time has come to make popular, unpopular decisions, because if this does not... happen, we will not win, but, mr. colonel, if the president does not sign the bill and does not return this

bill to the verkhovna rada within the specified time with his comments or references, this means that he violates the constitution of ukraine, because there is a clear regulation, according to which the law that receives the signature of the president must be signed and or returned to the verkhovna rada within a specified period, that is, i understand that the question... about the fact that those who will be mobilized into the armed forces there are 25 years, starting at age 25, no it has been resolved, the issue of how to write off property in the armed forces according to a simplified procedure, the author of the bill, which you were, has not signed either, that is, all these questions are hanging in the balance, if we are talking about mobilization, but at the same time, mr. serhiy, pay attention, please , yesterday even at the conference, how is it being conducted now... what kind of office i am, i try to be tolerant, but when the supreme commander of a democratic country during a war directly attacks the legislative body

of our country, as it was yesterday at the conference, there are people's deputies , is institution, if there is a question, everyone should ask, each deputy should ask questions individually, he discredits the institution that symbolizes democracy in our country, and if... someone is not liked, he should be re-elected, he bears political responsibility, he is a representative of the people, as well as the president, this is not a government that we elect, each deputy and he has voters that he represents, to whom he is responsible, and the office of the president is now working to discredit, clearly not by signing laws, that is, we, i from the trenches i am citing a bill signed by 42 people, 42 people's deputies who are representatives of the people, they, we voted it in one reading, immediately as a whole, because all the deputies understand that the military, bills, they are important, and we

immediately we make it a law, speaker. signatures are sent to the president, more than two months zero, i know that they talked about this in their meeting, when the office agreed that it was possible, and the president said that i would sign it, but he did not sign it because of the request of the ministry of defense, because of some others, he didn't sign it, and as a result of what we have, we're here saying let's applaud our guys in the war on the one hand, and on the other hand, we're saying, we're not signing what makes it easier. life and to those who will come new, who will understand that they do not want to go to the bureaucracy, and for this we will later push everything to the supreme council, discrediting the legislative body, as was the case with salaries, when the government removed 30,000 and fired, let's say, all this was said that the deputies do it, the deputies do not collect their wages pay, we allocated a budget in which this money was laid, but the government and led by the supreme commander-in-chief made a decision

to take away these 30,000 and... many such issues, and this is very wrong, we are fighting for the first for the territory and for democracy, and we and we must defend this democracy as an institution, i repeat once again, i am not for individuals, i am for the institution, if there is no one to defend it, i will defend it myself, because i am now in this institutions, and the people trusted me to be here, and we see the president what does he do, i don't like this, you can play this game together, mr. colonel, another question is quite relevant, which zelenskyi commented on yesterday, but it does not remove this issue of the relationship between the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. zelenskyi said about the relationship with valery zaluzhny, literally. let's listen. i have a good working relationship. he must be responsible for the outcome on the battlefield as a commander. together with the general staff, there are

many issues there. it is so. also commander tavrii , who, well, was engaged in operational command, look, this is a difficult issue, the offensive, something happened, something did not happen, something happened, something is missing, or maybe it will not be there, well, that is, it is a complicated, very complicated story, i think that we can afford to live in ukraine with a daily result, that's what i think. if we are ready to bring this result, each of us, and this , you know how, this is not a joke, that's what i would like to say, i believe that being the head is an honor, and immediately the journalist asked about how he perceives marina's position is cornerless, who has been trying to iron

out zaluzhnyi on facebook for literally the second month, and the journalist asked if this is the position of the representative of the presidential party, and if it reflects the position of volodymyr zelenskyi, let's listen to what zelenskyi said, mr. zaluzhnyi is also my representative, like all those , whom i appointed, or who came with me, someone, someone, i am very grateful. shame on someone, and as for any comments on facebook, sorry, i don't do that, i don't have time, i don't have time for daily, daily, daily this extra dialogues, fruitless. and as for

maryana, valera, and they have several other people there, it is very difficult, they all love to comment, like, on facebook, they communicate there very often, they have a dialogue, they are from the first days, so they are together go to the front, then they quarrel, these are difficult issues, to be honest for me, that's why i told you, it seems to me that we all need to give results to the state every day. and we'll have time for a selfie, mr. colonel, i'm listening to valer maryan for the third time, and to be honest, these guys just monologue, well, it’s annoying, i don’t know how you, as a military person, perceive me in general, whether it is at all appropriate during the war to be put on the level of a head-comma and some lunatic, so as to correctly answer to...

well, yes, it looks terrible, i think the president.
