how critical is the shortage of military personnel now, stormtroopers in general as well, and do you think the government is responsible for calling people to fight at the moment, uh, let me answer, very glad to see everyone, thanks for the invitation, my btw the first press conference, you will have to remember it, thank you for the question regarding the shortage of military personnel, the number of assault groups and so on and so on, look, i have repeatedly told your colleagues and our journalists that. .. what is happening now is not

some kind of, you know, a show that is watched from the side, and they are interested in what the score is, and what is there, and what will happen tomorrow, what will be the day after tomorrow, i can’t talk about any numbers from the word at all, i don’t want to help our enemies to do their enemy's business, so i want to tell you that in general, i believe that there... there will be further questions on this matter, in the formation of the need, by the way, as i already said in the marathon, and the need for us - this is a resource, this is a weapon, this is ammunition, this includes people, we take into account, of course, the formation of the need, the people we lost, the people we may lose next year, and the people we need to form certain parts and divisions, all this together. is being formed into

a total figure, and not only, by the way, in people, but also in ammunition and equipment, which we need for conducting hostilities. as for the government, i want to say that the ukrainian legislation quite clearly delimits all the functions of those who take part in the defense of ukraine. armed forces fight directly. in order to fight, they they have a ministry of defense for this, which responds accordingly. to our requests and attends to our needs, including human needs in this case, that's all i wanted to say, if you please. thank you, rokslan, see radio svoboda. valery fedorovych, i have a question for you regarding demobilization, but this draft law talks about 36 months, so 3 years. but already, they are talking about the fact that maybe it is too long. the term, because when

it comes to people who are at the forefront, 3 years is really a long time, don't you think do you think that it is worth less, because already there are opposition factions, they are preparing an amendment for 18 months, and what is your position on this matter? thank you, my position is very, very simple, and once again i will not get tired of reminding that there is a war, a war that develops according to its own laws, and everything that happens in the war depends mainly on the actions of our opponent. therefore, i clearly understand and know and i also want to tell you that our fighters are currently at the front in extremely difficult and very difficult conditions doing their job, thanks to which we can now be with you to communicate calmly here, it's very , very difficult for them, it's quite a complicated, quite complicated matter, and of course i would like people who go to the army and especially those who are already... serving in the army, they clearly

understood how much they it will be necessary to fight, together with the ministry of defense we agreed on a figure of 36 months, hoping for two points: first, that there will be no escalation at the front, this is one time, and secondly, the most important thing is that these people will be who after 36 months to replace, and now this is the government that has undertaken, let's say, to implement this law. i i think that they clearly understand the possibilities of our state, i hope that after 30-6 months we will cope with the task of replacing those people who really perform their work in extremely difficult conditions. and of course, i agree that once they are demobilized, yes, they need some time to rest, and it was us who agreed with the department of defense's work that it should be exactly the number that is there yes, we agreed with that. and

of course i'm in favor of all this happening, but again, i would like to note that this is the norm that, let's say, not quite, let's say, er... realistically, realistically in the conditions in which we are, but we can only hope that however , the intensity of hostilities, it will not increase, and we will be able to replace these people that we plan to replace in 36 months. please, public, welcome, daria kinzhi public news, i have a question about, in addition to these 36 months, in fact, after a year, we have to... find a replacement for the military that has been fighting since the beginning a full-scale invasion, what will we cover these needs, do we have such an opportunity, and also why is this 500 00, why was this figure formed? thank you, thank you for the question

, i will start by saying that i, as the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, would never operate with such figures, we are clearly aware of the statement. volumes of mobilization in the russian federation, we declare our opinion, and believe me, i am absolutely sure of this, and the russian federation will change them, so i would still not tolerate in general the discussion of such such numbers. i want to confirm the only thing that this figure is formed exactly as i told your colleague, we take into account, including the tasks that will be performed next year, this does not mean that this... figure should be tomorrow set, of course all this is divided into certain periods. and as for the absolutely valid question, will we be able to find, well, look , again, i will repeat that we are the armed forces of ukraine, we cannot in any way interfere in the lives of civilians, despite the fact that

we're operating under martial law, we have enough rights, but again, to see if we can find, well, i think the y... can handle that task, but that's what they're for, i have more clarification, how it can affect this demobilization, how it can affect the situation at the front? well, look, 36 months , this will be our 25th year, we will have enough time to prepare the human resource that will be necessary for the replacement, and that this demobilization situation will not affect the state in which we we are, we firmly understand this, but the government must also understand that... if we are talking about 36 months of demobilization, then most likely it will be necessary to start this process in the recruitment of people in training already next year, in order to in the 25th year it was possible to carry out demobilization. please public. take the microphone. mr.

zaluzhny, the law states that rotation must take place after six months of hostilities. tell me, please, is it possible to do it today? and what's up mind you, when it comes to recovery, people go on vacation for two months, or they still continue to train, but just not at zero, but somewhere here and there, it's a little bit safer. thank you. well, look, i already said this at marathon, that working in the working group of the ministry of defense, which formed these proposals, one of our tasks was to make sure that we did not disrupt the process with some legislative norms. of the military administration, which are on the ground, and therefore this norm, which is about six months, of course, it is very interesting, and of course i would like it to be, but again, our people are not at a competition or some kind of tournament right now, and again this is not a show that the whole world is watching,

i repeat that the situation at the front, first of all, from what depends, it is on the actions of the enemy, and we cannot predict. that it will be six months, 5 months, 3 months, the situation is completely different, believe me, and again, if the people who propose a six- month rotation, well, they should understand, then the combat set of troops must be increased, well, approximately at least in two times, and what will be the amount that will be needed to replace these people in combat positions after six months, and if the situation changes, if the enemy attacks from the opposite direction. and such areas, what should be done in such a situation, so people should rest, i demand from the commanders in the cities that they do everything possible and impossible in order to carry out rotation in the unit within the boundaries

of the military unit, but legislate that we will to move in this way, believe my 30-year-old self the experience of serving in the armed forces of ukraine for almost 10 years of war, what is this... well, for now, let's put it this way, a deception, which, well, is probably unreal in today's realities. thank you, please, we, ukraine. and thank you for the opportunity, one long , one short question about the vision, you asked not to operate with numbers, but already in the public space it is voiced by the president, how much time do you think it will take to teach, at least, if not that many people, then thousands people, and will we have such an opportunity, if not in our territory, because we understand that the enemy gets everywhere, then at partners, because as i understand it, during these incomplete two years of a full-scale invasion, such a huge number has not yet been trained. this is the first question and the draft law also proposes that from 18 to 25

years of age university men will be offered this optional service, how important is it if we are talking about the 25th year now? thank you. absolutely agreeing with you that people should go to perform tasks, should be prepared, and in this, in this, in this direction, i agree with any. responsibility for what is somewhere there are times when a person gets to the front untaxed, this absolutely cannot happen, we have a great opportunity to use both our capabilities and the capabilities provided by our partners, i want to say separately that the partners pay very, very great attention to this , and in fact today our possibilities in this regard are, one might even say, unlimited, we can train there... uh, let's say this, today up to 10 brigades of full staff

conduct training on these training grounds, respectively, and we are such a way of course we use, regarding young people from 18 to 25 years old, well, once again , i will repeat that i want people who can perform combat tasks to join the army, it is very difficult, it is so difficult that even in this cabinet, it even hard to imagine. as hard as it is, i want them to come in a state where they can do it, and if they're still prepared, i 'll just, just be for it. this is very, very, well, a good initiative in my opinion. channel five please. greetings, vitaly zalevsky, the fifth channel. recently rostem omirov spoke about the fact that the ministry of defense has information on the number of men of draft age who went abroad. tell me, do they need to be returned and are there already ways to do it? thank you for the question, it is interesting, but

once again, i will repeat that the armed forces of ukraine, they must fight, in no way encroach on the peaceful life of our citizens, including those who have left the borders of our country. for that purpose, there are authorized bodies of central central bodies of executive power, which may, in accordance with them to make a decision. to date, i cannot give them a rating. and i do not want to do it accordingly, but i will be very happy if after a while i see them in the army and with great pleasure i will organize training, even abroad, i will send them back to undergo training there and i will cooperate with them perfectly, either please, bbc, good afternoon, and i am interested in the issue of electronic subpoenas, was i even an offer, or is this an offer? general staff or other representatives of the authorities, and how it can

happen in general, a summons in an e-mail, electronic office, how is this even possible? thank you. oksana, thank you very much for the question, well, once again, i will repeat that this proposal was not made by the general staff or the armed forces of ukraine, because we do not even have such an opportunity to assess the possibility of issuing extradition. such subpoenas , in such a way, we shall say so, for the sake of any method that will satisfy our need for people, if as a result of e-subpoenas, we get them, that will be very good, if it is done in some other way, also this very good, but again, what about the armed forces of ukraine, the general staff directly , well, let's put it this way, in these matters we, let's put it this way, are in the role of... consumers, yes , please, sometimes alone, mr.

commander-in-chief, karina vakareva tsn 1+1, the day before in the western publications there was information about the next plans of the kremlin regarding a large-scale attack on ukraine, do you expect this attack and maybe, against the background of the news about the mobilization, are you planning our counteroffensive, and the second question immediately follows, dear day, yulia kirtin 1.1, tell each other. please have there was information that conscripts would be demobilized, they write that this process has not yet begun, if it has not yet begun , when will it begin, and what is the fate of them, is there a percentage ratio? people who will already come for mobilization in the armed forces or contract service, thank you, girls, let's start with the fact that, well, in my personal opinion, there is very, very much written in the western media, and sometimes it even shows me what is written there , even with all due respect to

the expert environment, which in the west does not even want to read some things, that is they... absolutely do not understand what is going on here, and, let's just say, there is a very, very small percentage of those experts who, with whom you can really agree, but absolutely correct question about the plans of the russian federation, of course, i will repeat it again, that war, war, is primarily the enemy's actions and our reaction to his actions, of course, we take into account what may happen next year. that we see what will happen, again, i don't want to voice it now, because well, be a little smart, and then later think in what way to eliminate the consequences, well, i would not like to do this, but we are carefully monitoring, we currently have enough intelligence agencies that carry out the relevant work, and we

even have the opportunity to compare certain data, to compare data , which gives... our partners give the data that our intelligence agencies give, and we do everything in order to respond adequately to it, and speaking here about this law, this is just part of the reaction to possible actions by moscow , also in this, are included in this. yulia, what as for the issue of rookies, it was a painful issue until recently, until recently, let's say that as of summer, we were not ready to fire. forties, but, let's say this, somewhere at the end of november, probably, yes, this was already our absolute proposal, we turned to the ministry of defense to release the strykoviks from military service, as of today they are no longer needed, and our clear position that they should be released, that they should go, rest, then act accordingly in

under the terms of the existing legislation, and we will absolutely support... the positions that were proposed in this draft law, regarding their future, regarding their future fate, as far as interests are concerned, well, again, i would not like to call these numbers, for which i will have to hold the answer, but we have such information, please ukrinform, ukrinform kozhuhar, there were personnel changes in the tsc, are all the military commissars... the military commissars occupying the necessary positions and , accordingly, are the tsc's capacities sufficient in order to carry out the mobilization that, well, what is planned, and during the drafting of the draft law, were there any proposals from the military committees, maybe there were points that they insisted on? thank you, thank you for the question

regarding the territorial picking centers, as of... today, let's say that, well, to be honest, i'm not satisfied with their work yet, i'm not satisfied yet, and accordingly, if i were would be satisfied with it, we would not discuss the issue of this draft law right now, people who work in territorial picking centers, i want so that you understand that this is special. a separate specialty, well, let's say so, in my 30 years of service, the only thing i would not like to serve is in a territorial procurement center, it is necessary to have a certain set of knowledge, a set of skills, and most importantly, a set of skills that allows the head of the tsc to fulfill his duties "connections, both externally outside the tsc, and inside it, inside this organism, but

as of today, i want to say that the possibilities are limited." therefore , we do not have personnel in the territorial centers of non-taxation lost, i do not feel that there will be any problems with the volume that we need to supply. we made sure that those key positions that directly work on the organization of this process directly in the tsc, they stayed and accordingly continued, accordingly continued their work, so i think that we will cope with this task, as far as is concerned directly. to managers, well, let's say this, the work, the work continues, the work continues, and as of now, we are already changing some managers who came there, some. left this place , well, on their own, but again this, let's say this, organization, as written in the decree of the cabinet of the minister, a local-level military management body, it

is currently, in my personal opinion , functioning and able to continue to fulfill its tasks accordingly, military, please, good afternoon, kateryna suprun , military, in the law, in the draft law. and there is such a concept as basic military training, and there is a lot about this issue, these are local self-government bodies, local administrations are responsible, how can it happen control, because this basic military training, it is very important, because we are talking about trained people who will be mobilized, a great question, it is absolutely appropriate, and i already answered some of the girls that we are interested in this. .. for this basic general military training to take place. in our personal opinion, what we thought about this process, how to do it. under martial law, the heads of

military-civilian administrations, that is why they are called military-civilian administrations, are absolutely capable of carrying out these measures, they should be controlled accordingly, well, if they will be controlled. above these heads of military-civilian administrations, according to the law, there are whole. the two links that carry out their control and organization of their work are the general staff directly and the cabinet of ministers, which i think is able to cope with this task, it will be a little new, of course, but the number of volunteers who are already helping to train people, and the number, in principle, of veterans who are already in civilian life, on mine personal opinion, will be able to organize this process properly , there will be no problems here, and we would... we would be very, very happy for it to be, for it to be done with our, of course, direct, with our participation, directly. thank you, tv channel rada.

thank you, sonya hryhorchuk, tv channel rada. also, in the draft law, we have such concepts as a unified register of debtors and time limits in relation to them. tell me, please, do you really believe that they will be effective and were any of them suggestions of the general staff? thank you. again. i will repeat what i have already said, that we are the army, we are the armed forces of ukraine, we only have to fight, we have to get resources, carry out tasks and in no way can we even think about interfering in civilian life in any way people , and i repeat again, for this there are relevant central executive bodies that can do this, we did not make such proposals, because we, we cannot do it as such, first of all, well... secondly, believe me, we have enough trouble to come up with some restrictions for for civilians. please, kyiv independent. francisfer, kyiv independent,

thank you very much for the opportunity to ask a question. i would like to ask a more general, personal question. in your opinion, how will the military company in ukraine differ in the 24th year from the 23rd. what are the main lessons you took from last year for, well, what will need to be worked on in the next one, thank you, thank you for the question, it is quite wonderful, quite relevant, i tried a few months ago to explain to our partners what is happening in general in the 21 century and how the war is going, and i received a lot of criticism about it, but over time people realized that i was... absolutely right, because in the 21st century the development of science and, as a result, the development of weapons and military equipment, it is irrevocably and necessarily leads

to changes in tactics, in tactics of application. the 24th year will not just be different, it must be different, the 24th year from the 23rd year, because otherwise we will face what i wrote about in the article. accordingly, we found these problems and found probably 90% of their solutions issues that must be resolved in order to act more effectively next year and most importantly to save people, we are working on this, our partners who are also interested in this issue absolutely agree with us, and i can assure you that the next year it will be different, well, precisely in... a year from the 23rd year, we, at least , do everything for this, unfortunately, i have to state that the enemy is not far behind us, lags behind, you see what, well, what is happening, especially

there... we've been doing pretty well these past few days a powerful confrontation at the level of technology application, first of all, but we do not lose sight of it, very much, by the way, by the way, i would like to thank the minister of defense for the fact that the team will really support all our technological breakthroughs that we have proposed, i think , that everything will work out for us, i am sure of it, please, league. valery fedorovych. you don't want to talk about the figure of 500,000, but it was already sounded at the press conference of the president, and when we talk about such, such a number of troops, we have to understand what they have be a weapon do you have confidence that our partners and our military industry are capable of providing such a large number of people with the necessary weapons and equipment? well, as for our partners, i

would like to take this opportunity, once again, to thank them. first of all, because my , let's say, requests to them were completely different, and we have come a long way, let's say, cooperation at one or another level, i want to say that we have such a serious cooperation, especially in the last year about , that every number that i say or that i raise in front of my partners, she must be checked. it is necessarily discussed and only after that it becomes, let's say, generally available, so when i talk about such a figure, i am sure that the western partners, they will remain close to us, as regards the need, which does not depend from western partners, respectively , all these needs, they have been formed, they are in the ministry of defense, they are being discussed rather briskly now, and some have already

started, started to be implemented. directly all these numbers and all the needs by us formed to the end, and i think that there will be no problems with this, we had quite ambitious goals in the 23rd year as well, i want to say that i was not disappointed by, let's say, the level, the level of provision that was precisely in the year 23 , yes, of course, it was incomplete, but at least it allowed us to conduct combat operations with confidence, please, ukrainian pravda, good day, roman romanyuk, ukrainian pravda, tell me, please, this is the number that sounds, that is, this need, it is expected, it is an annual need, that is, it will not such a number of people were mobilized at one time, and during the year, and whether we

will continue this practice next year. when new units are formed to carry out major tasks there, or on the contrary, these people who will be mobilized will be dispersed, well , distributed among already existing combat units, thank you, well, first of all, in my speech i did not in any way say the number 500 or 400, i i am talking about the general need, and i have already been asked by one of the girls, i have already said that... this need, of course, is divided into certain periods, of course, that is, someone will mobilized in january, some even in december, i will say that we are not talking about the fact that we need all this need now in order to give clothes and shoes and weapons, no, it not at all, i will say that the 23rd year also happened exactly the same according to the same scheme, nothing special,

and it will be the same way. the last question of 1+1, valery fedorovych, it’s me again, as a matter of fact , the question about the front was already raised, of course, without the front there would be no need for mobilization either, but i have one more question, so when a full-scale war began, there was an opinion that if the ukrainian army destroys 100 thousand russian soldiers, they will stop, then there... maybe if 500, they will stop, we have already seen that for the russians human life does not matter at all, but what do you think, and when will they stop and do we really have something that can stop them completely, this is the first question, the second, we had bahmud, now something similar is happening in avdiivka, and we we understand how to prevent m...
