but to determine the objects and points that fall under the category of military and military objects, and when shelling occurs, to react and hit these objects, the principle of reflection cannot be applied here in any case: i shoot where i see , this is the first, i insist on this once again, and it is necessary for everyone to understand it, ukraine has not shelled and will not shell. not military facilities, not military facilities, this is compliance, strict compliance with the norms of humanitarian law. i don't want to name a number, a digital number, how many military personnel of ukraine, representatives of the defense forces, i.e. the armed forces, the national guard, and voluntary military formations are currently in prison for what they violated. humanitarian law, but i

emphasize this once again, the ukrainian army, the armed forces of ukraine adhere to the norms of humanitarian law, and if any cases occur, and from the point of view of events on the front and in the rear, then these are excesses, this is something that does not fall under the orders , command and so on, and is an exception, and is a random event. what recognized by the ukrainian political leadership and military command as a violation of humanitarian law. i was a little taken aback by the fact that after the events in belgorod, some ukrainian journalists began to talk about the fact that, perhaps, it was ours who began to shoot anywhere, i emphasize this, the armed forces of ukraine do not strike at civilian objects, because everyone. .. the military man

has a note with him, which is written, this note is also approved by an instruction letter of the ministry of defense, the ministry of health, and the general staff in 2015, there are relevant instructions of the general staff of the ministry of defense, which are approved by the presidential decree and orders of ministries and agencies, which regulate: the behavior of soldiers, representatives of the armed forces of ukraine, which fully comply with and are obliged to comply with the norms of humanitarian law. well, i agree with you completely, and we understand how the enemy would like to use it, on the one hand, the enemy, talking about the fact that it is ukraine that would be shelling belgorod, he is counting on his domestic audience, yes, well, at one time they blew up houses, so you remember the story about the so-called ryazan sugar and so on and so forth, in order to...

activate the processes of internal mobilization of the russian nation, on the other hand, we also understand that this is intended for whom, on our transoceanic and european allies, and it was not for nothing that a rocket flew into poland. i will interrupt you, now after the events in belgorod, the security council was convened on the initiative of the russian side, please draw your attention to the position of the representative of the united states, france, great britain has. ranks, who absolutely clearly gave an assessment, this is a matter of disorder in the russian army, and claims about what happened in bilgar should be presented not to ukraine, but to the kremlin. the situation starting from the entire field, the entire sky of the nato countries, ending with the neighboring states. the system is on standby in automatic mode. if the announced parameters are correct, and

they say that the missile flew 40 km into the territory of poland, then this means that this system was disabled from automatic activation, which means that in depending on who was on duty, whether the control center in ramstein or the control center in izmir, the person who was in charge of this monitoring gave the command to disconnect. because i say once again, during take- off, with an appropriate trajectory, and it is calculated very simply by the signature, by the monitoring system, such a missile can be misled by the pro-ij system , both at the stage of lifting the air, and at the stage of reaching the highest point and when aiming at the target, that is, the iedges system, which is currently unique in terms of... the control of the skies

of nato countries. it is not clear to me, or there were wrongly, and to this day , incorrect parameters regarding where are circulating in the press. how far this missile flew, because i do not believe that the automatic operation of this system could be disabled by commanding the system, including the unfounded statements that these missiles, which are referred to as x, and well, these are all missiles of the iskander complex, let's say, they are able to bypass monitoring systems. of aegis missile defense, so the issue needs further confirmation or refutation from the point of view of the authenticity of the facts that have been voiced, but what that the missile landed on the territory of poland is true, it is another matter that the statements that the poles

were unable, the poles are not capable, this is not true, because i emphasize this once again, the patriot system, which is on... duty, in including in poland, it is integrated into the ijis system. in ukraine , patriot is in autonomous management mode, it is not integrated into the igis system. hence, the missile, anti-missile anti-missile complex petriu is only a tool for the impression of an attacking, attacking missile, and not a self-sufficient institution. hence, to present claims to the poles, well, it's a little wrong. because we don't know the things i'm talking about right now, under what circumstances these conditions were formed, well, in order for me, for example, to draw a conclusion, i need additional information, so i can clearly tell you what happened and why such an action was taken or

inaction, i can't, and without knowing certain information, it's not a state to just trip around like that, well, it's just that there are specifics of certain protocols, that's how we understand that the enemy, in particular, it's about the russian federation, he can deliberately... pretending that some random missile, so to speak, he can deliberately direct them, yes, well, pay attention to the thesis that was voiced by prime minister tusk, he said that in a strategic perspective, europe is definitely a target for russia, that is, here he is very wise, let's say, if the key to the problem was wrapped in... a bag, he said not now, but in a strategic perspective, on the one hand, if he gives moscow and tehran a chance to come to their senses, and on the other hand on the other hand, he understands that there is no one to come to his senses, and therefore it is necessary to build up

security defense potential, but still, it leaves a chance for another, different way of conducting a dialogue with the führer of moscow and... and i must say that, so far, i do not see a more accurate depiction of the situation that happened with this missile, i.e. for the poles, for poland, it was clear to them that there was moscow for a long time, but this incident with the missile, it absolutely clearly indicated that europe is the target, ibild wrote about it at the beginning of 2024, there literally in the first issues about , that in the winter of... 2024-25 there will be a russian attack on the european ones of the state at a time when there will be a transition from one president to another in washington, well, it is not by chance that peter pavel

also said that the year 2024 may return in an unpleasant way, pay attention, as he said, he did not say for ukraine, he said for us, for us. he said , although for some reason in ukraine it was interpreted as for ukraine, although the situation is such that from the point of view of ukraine and a ukrainian, ukraine and the european union are common, well, what not everyone in europe understands today, and what good for ukraine, good for europe, what is good for of europe, that is good for ukraine, and vice versa , bad is bad both there and there, here, but here are two positions that have been voiced... a build with references to european intelligence and peter pavlo about the threats of the next year, well, they were simply demonstrated by this missile, i am convinced that knowing russian diplomacy, understanding its

tools of action, these two frenzied attacks on ukraine, which happened at the end of last year and at the beginning of this year, this is... if confirmation of the theses that they are ready to attack european states , this is the first, and secondly, this coincidence is not coincidental with... with theses that, you see, in the western press there were theses that putin is giving signals about some negotiations, that is, this is what is called coercion by force to diplomacy, and so it must be interpreted, it must be understood, and in response, it is necessary to increase the capabilities of anti-missile and anti-aircraft defense and prepare a response. native gifts to the moscow führer so that he does not feel his impunity,

and the absolutely correct thesis that the current situation requires the transfer of the war to the territory of russia, how to do it, this is already a matter for the military, a matter for the general staffs, i am not saying only the ukrainian general staff, but also the staffs of the allies, well, from my point of view , 2024 should be the year of the formation of combat-ready forces of the ramstein format and the management system, until to the point that what flashed in the western press regarding the probable opening of the second front, where and how, this is again a matter for the staffs, but in addition to helping ukraine, one must think about how the appetites of the moscow führer... regarding the attack of europe and others point, must be calmed down, and for that the trend that

is currently shining in the middle east, where in his recent, very recent interview , benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, said that this war is for many months, we are talking about a war between israel and hamas and israel hezbollah and... and this is a potential war with iran, a potential war with the russian federation, that ’s how it is, for some reason they are ashamed to call it, well, the world, the current world surprises me, in its unwillingness to really look at the course of events, i think , like many people, i think, mr. roman, that they are simply trying to somehow localize certain scenarios, hoping to return to the state before war, there is such a legal term, on

the other hand, we understand that war is also about resources, technological resources, you very rightly noted that the decision a strategic decision, but any strategic decisions can sometimes rest on stubbornness, forgive the taftology of this or that congressman, yes, well, i was extremely surprised and alarmed when i heard from our ukrainian minister of foreign affairs mr.... as for what we have, well, we are not considering any options b. that there is confidence, well, that the united states will provide us with the necessary macro-finance. on the other hand , we understand that not so miracles happened in the united states. well, it is worth mentioning only the storming of the capitol, and we understand that the united states is currently going through probably the most dangerous election campaign in its history. do you understand what, mr. antin, is the problem, in terms of which there is a lot of recognition. polarity, it is impossible to return to monopolarity, it is necessary to go through leadership, and

leadership is a willful thing, is the american society , which historically tends toward isolationism, able to talk about leadership in the current situation, and that means help, and that means give for what... i will use the term in in this case it is a sacrifice, and for this you need the will, and for this you need very strong leaders, and i can tell you that internally i am convinced that america will pass this exam, because in the congress the settings are positive, and in the senate the settings are including positive ones, language is not so much about internal political showdowns as about... this global choice, because the fact is that these concrete slabs, which

consist of the russian-ukrainian war, the iranian-israeli war, the chinese-taiwanese confrontation, they must stand on a solid the foundation, because god forbid, one of them will tilt, they 'll start falling like dominoes, thank god, he understands that. in the state department, in the pentagon, in the congress, in the senate, and that is why i will emphasize this once again, it is about the global choice of america, because us... in fact, this choice is next autumn year in the united states of america and in june in europe, when the european parliament will be elected, this is a choice, including about what fate awaits the war criminal putin, the red dictator sydzenpin, this whole junta

of fundamentalists in iran and so on, and such one of the three, like lukashenko... that is, in fact, 2023, the 23rd year at the end, he marked the beginning of the break, and here president joseph biden and all the others are right, but the 24th year is the year of defining the break, the formation of an ascending force that is capable will be on... carry a blow against russian racism, dictatorship, the red dictatorship of china, against the islamic fundamentalists of iran, and so on. that's what we're talking about. how effective will it be? from my point of view, for ukraine, for a break,

it will be effective. f-16 will be given , forgive me for intruding, well, but we understand that there are certain... so to speak, indicators, litmus tests, yes, and here we are not talking about some symbolic number of f16s, for example, three , four or five squadrons, look, all the decisions have been made, i remember statements, not affected by these things, and lloyd austin, and mark miley, that by the end of the 23rd year, and the f-16 will be in ukraine, this is the maximum that was called. but where the dog is buried, the industrial capacities of neither the united states of america nor european countries allowed to re-equip them and bring them to the level of integration for participation in combat operations as part of the armed forces of ukraine during the year. and here the question is not in the decisions that were made, not

in trained or untrained pilots, in the industrial potential. and if we take in fact all the contracts that were not fulfilled or obligations that are not fulfilled, then the reason for their non-fulfillment lies in weak industrial capacities, and this, as you understand, is at least months, if we take the shortest necessary lines for the production of, say , ammunition, i accidentally stated at the beginning the thesis that that only by the end of 2024... it is realistic to gain dominance in certain types of ammunition on the battlefield. thank you very much, mr. roman, for this extremely important and interesting conversation, i would like to remind our viewers that roman the immortal, the iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat.

vasyl zima's big broadcast. two hours of airtime, two hours of yours. of time, two hours to learn about the war and what the world is like, two hours to keep abreast of economic and sports news, two hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become like-minded to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, events of the day for two hours, a big broadcast of vasyl zima, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening for espresso. every day, every hour, every minute we receive a large amount of information, i know... the most anticipated event of the year, what is actually happening at the front, what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, how does the international community evaluate our successes, and what is moscow lying about? from the stream of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and

what kind, and what are the russian occupiers whispering about behind the commanders' backs? news, summaries of the week - this is an overview of only the important ones. the event of significant, reliable, it is analytics, fact-checking, professional comments, about it and much more another today in the issue, about important things in simple language, available to all viewers. greetings, iryna koval is in the studio, and these are the results of the week on the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso. now i work on the air of the tv channel. the long war has already taken its toll, so we understand that the question will lie in resources, this is money, this is equipment, and this is prepared human reserves, so

we understand that the russian federation has now demonstrated its meanness, that is, what they can do, in particular, we are talking about massive missile strikes on ukrainian cities. our air defense has demonstrated to the russian interlopers that we can work normally and neutralize their missiles and... but in general, in the medium term, this implies a certain competition: who will have more air defense systems, who will have more missiles, which strikes and so on . first, we expected large-scale attacks, since russia had hardly fired any missiles for several months. that is, she was preparing by accumulating resources. at this point, it appears that the main attacks have been carried out for the purpose of terror, not to disable missile systems. but from a strategic point of view, if russia is able to continue to launch a large number of missiles at ukraine, even if ukraine successfully shoots them down, at a certain stage you

will have to suffer because of a decrease in the supply of missiles from western partners. we know that other countries have problems with the presence of missiles. so it's possible that, for example, what your people are doing in kyiv, putting together small teams with machine guns and... other weapons to intercept drones, this practice should be extended to the whole of ukraine so that there is no need to shoot at drones with expensive missiles. it is necessary to approach differently how drones attack and how missiles do it, because every missile launched from the ukrainian side is worth its weight in gold. while russia continues to receive drones from its allies and is actively preparing to manufacture its own. so in the medium term. we just have to hope that we don't run out of missiles and that western countries like the uk, usa and germany are actually able to provide ukraine has more missiles than it needs. in

order to radically change the situation on the battlefield. in your opinion, what steps should be taken, because some of the so-called military experts are talking about something, about the need to move the war deep into russia, in particular, it is more about defeat. certain russian military facilities, but for this you need equipment, and you need equipment that would allow it to be done, i am currently under something, under a certain, so to speak, unspoken taboo. we are in a difficult situation, but i think that putin's situation is even more difficult now because he needs some success before the election, that's one of the reasons why they're carrying out massive attacks, they're not... to achieve some kind of breakthrough, it seems that they want to take the audio machine, because that will be enough for putin to say that they

have advanced, but when you don't have enough equipment and missiles, you can't attack deep into russia, and if you could strike with long-range missiles, then one question has to be asked, will the advance help? and the answer at this point is probably no. in fact, it could create even more problems, including turning the russian population even more against ukraine, if you start killing people inside russia. therefore, it is very problematic before the elections. i think that you need to see how the elections in russia will be held in order to understand the population's appetite for the continuation of the war. but if it will be possible to hit distant targets, then specifically heavy objects, which must be destroyed, should be under the sights. will directly affect the course of the war. we are interested in big fish. obviously it is about the largest objects in crimea, about ships like novocherkassk, about

the crimean bridge. that's why we have to strike, because cutting off crimea will change the whole geopolitical situation for russia, attacking another fuel station behind the front lines in russia probably won't make much of a difference to the front line, so we have to do something that will actually make a big difference. and not just hitting anything, a missile recently flew into the territory of poland, previously there were relevant stories with the airspace of romania, i.e. in this way, we understand what messages putin is sending to the west, well, according to the west, we need to make a certain strategic decision for ourselves, about the readiness to respond in one way or another, possibly in a military way, if there is a... military operation, i don't i say that it will happen now, but we understand that putin is demonstrating his readiness, on the other hand, maybe putin wants

to force the west in this way. protect their resources, when it comes to air defense systems, missile systems, and so on. you're hitting two points here: the first is how much longer putin can continue to act, and frankly, he can continue at this rate for a couple of years, because what he's doing is just throwing what he's got into ukraine plenty of people, weapons, ammunition, and this can continue for a very long time. let's not forget that it... controls missile launches, so it can do it whenever it wants. now, in a week of next month, at the rate he can afford, and russia will continue to do so for as long as possible. currently russia does not send any incoming signal, i am talking about the missiles that flew into romania and poland. these are just mistakes on putin's part. and the message that putin can continue to fight has long been sent to both brussels

and berlin. everyone knows about it. they are aware that they must continue to support ukraine, as the war is ongoing. i don't think they expect putin to expand the geography of the war, because putin is unlikely to be able to win such a large-scale battle. the west is really capable of influencing a lot so that it doesn't to allow putin to advance his aggressive ambitions. but if the course of the war will be the way it is now, then putin will definitely... not stop, and the west will have to find new ways to slow it down. it will probably be about stronger sanctions, about increased control over their compliance, in order to find out exactly which processes can be stopped in this way. people in the capitals are now trying to figure out how to reduce putin's ability to wage war in the long term, so we will soon see some small steps, much of which we will not know, because this

will take place between banks, between. there will be many discussions between european officials, between american officials, and, for example, switzerland, which we will never know about. so you can be sure that there is a lot of discussion going on behind the scenes in an effort to reduce putin's ability to continue this war as it is at this stage. in order to change the course of events on the battlefield, we need aviation in sufficient numbers. we understand that a fundamental decision has already been made and we thank you. for this in the royal uk family storm shadow work yes, but storm shadow combined with aviation is a completely different quality, yes? we understand that this would require not individual aircraft, but perhaps two or three or four squadrons of f-16s. accordingly, this entails the strengthening of our air defense system, which could cover military airfields. so we understand that russia is also preparing for

similar scenarios. honestly, i can't answer that question because i don't know what countries actually do. i do not know, how many f-16s are being prepared for delivery. i also don't know how many of them are actually ready to go to the front line. and here i have a question, when you have f-16s, what are you going to do with them? currently, i do not know this. i'm not even sure if many of the other advisors have any idea how the uh... will use the f-16, because there has to be some element of surprise when they launch, and another question is whether they're going to support the collision line or whether they're going to be used for more strategic purposes such as destruction russian aviation. i don't know, we'll have to wait and see, but your comment about...
