it will turn out, let's say this, but how will it turn out, and then justify all this with such an approach, that is, about 30 km, well, it is even better there up to 70, for example, kilometers, well, you can explain, for this we heroically put our personnel there in the name of of such a bright idea, that is , i am emphasizing once again putin's propaganda trick, one more thing. at the very end of our conversation, the deputy secretary of state of the united states of america, victoria nulad, visited kyiv yesterday, and following the results of her visit to kyiv, she announced that she was returning with the confidence that russian occupiers receive surprises on the battlefield, soon. let's listen to what victoria nuland said. we continue to provide security assistance in all categories, including. new investments and new

weapons systems, such as small diameter bombs, which are already on the way to the front, and to support the revival of ukraine's military-industrial complex, as well as our own, to ensure that we can continue to fight against those who threaten our freedom i am leaving kyiv today more optimistic about the outcome in 2024 and its absolute strategic importance for ukraine. also, i am leaving more confident that... putin will receive pleasant surprises on the battlefield and that ukraine will manage to achieve a very strong success this year. general, when victoria nuland talks about pleasant surprises, is she talking about some new weapon that we will get? well, i wouldn't say new, that is, these two years of war show that they were mainly supplied by the allies, the weapons themselves are old, like the soviet ones, some kind of berera. around the world, and these countries

in the first place, but there were modern elements, but this is not in order to significantly increase, i.e. scale, and then it is true that ukraine has such capabilities, but in order to actually pass the tests, these individual elements of the new weapon, but it was quite dosed and in principle, if the situation at the front would change , it’s not... such supplies failed, so i would very much like to share mrs. lunnen’s optimism on this matter, and even more so that participation in this formation of all mystical views of the future was due to military supplies, substantial, large-scale, modern weapons, and the ukrainian side is capable and has shown it over the past two years. our

defense forces to learn and achieve results not at the level of what they are doing so that we do not lose this war, and at the same time russia does not lose it, that is the policy of the united states in the first place, but that we together with our allies could, due to the development and use of new modern weapons, achieve victory. thank you, mr. general. for the conversation, it was retired lieutenant general ihor romanenko. friends, we are working live on the tv channel espresso, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. throughout our program, we conduct surveys. we ask you about the following: do you understand zelenskyi's claims against zaluzhnyi. yes, no, please vote on youtube, either yes or no, leave your comment below this video, and don't forget to please like this video, it's very important to promote it in youtube trends. well, if you watch us on tv,

the phone numbers are on the screen. next, we have tetyana vysotska, our correspondent, on the phone in brussels. she followed the summit of the european union today. tatiana, i congratulate you and i am glad to see you on the air. congratulations, sergey, i am also very glad to see you. so, today is a significant day, and a good day for ukraine, 50 billion of macro-financial assistance to ukraine. the decision was made by all. 27 member countries of the european union, i saw in the morning that you said on social networks that i am here, far from here, i am here, at the summit of the european union, orban will be here soon , we will meet with orban, what happened to orban, that orban has changed his position, is it related with the fact that you were there at this summit? yes, i think, of course, i scared him, and that's why he decided. after all, give ukraine 50 billion

euros, so as not to anger fate, but in fact, all of us journalists were standing at the press point, waiting for orban, because they were arriving and arriving. the heads of state of the european union, everyone approached us and shared their opinions, but orbán did not come to the journalists in the morning, and it was already the first intrigue, it was clear that something was happening, but is it good, something is happening, or is it bad , we did not know yet, and after that, we already saw a photo on social networks where orbán is already in the room, that is, he entered somehow without passing the press, through the back door, maybe... and he is already sitting, having a separate meeting, a separate private meeting with the head of the european council, charles michel, the president of the european commission , ursula vonderlajen, and the leaders of france, germany, and italy, and right at this moment, even before the start of the official summit

of the european council, when orbán began to be persuaded individually at the level of the initially strongest states of the european union, then they joined them. other countries such as the presiding belgium, the netherlands, spain , then the representatives of poland, the baltic states came, that is , people came and went in the room, and they all joined in somehow talking to orbán, what they actually promised him, we don't know , because it all happened behind closed doors, we saw all his photos, but something was still promised, that orbán changed the decision and already the summit... began with the knowledge that the decision would be made and that is why he was so quick and ended, did not last until the evening, as many expected. german chancellor olaf scholz said that it was a great success about the results of the extraordinary eu summit, and said

that it was the shortest in history, europe became stronger after that, said the head of the european commission, ursula vohnlein, and this is how the results of the summit were summed up by the president of the european parliament, roberta. i think we should focus on the fact that today is a good day for europe, we have done it, we have kept our ukrainian friends in limbo for many weeks about whether we would reach an agreement and the fact that it was reached in time, thanks in particular to the hard work of many of our leaders and ... resulted in a resolution that includes all 27 member states. we are not tired of ukraine, and there are no problems with that. we have orbán fatigue here in brussels. we have so many things to work out. look

outside, not only in brussels. and of course, what we need today is to strengthen our unity around ukraine against russia and its aggressive policy. i can't understand, me i cannot accept viktor orbán's very strange and very selfish game. tatyana, did you and orban understand the current situation, what awaits ukraine and in what perspective? if we talk about providing funds to ukraine from the european union, what ukraine has actually been waiting for since december, when the last tranche from the eu arrived, then... sometimes ukraine is waiting for more such technical procedures, this is the preparation of the corresponding resolution, which must be approved by the european parliament , because in the text about the ukraine facility, about the ukrainian fund, which was approved by the parliament in october

2023, on october 17, amendments were made today, and therefore the european parliament must re-vote this text, the text of the resolution, as they say, will be ready next time. week on monday, at most on tuesday, it will be put to a vote during the session week, which begins on february 26, and therefore it turns out that throughout february there will be technical and technological, one can say coordination, and the first tranche from the european union, ukraine will already receive in march , but as we know the ukrainian authorities are counting on the fact that this will be a large tranche, it will not be 5 billion euros, as the european union usually provided us every month, but it should be four... true, i tried to clarify with european officials whether this plan is realistic about 4.5 billion for march, they said that the figures are still being agreed, that is, not so, no, well, let's hope that after all we

will receive our 4.5 billion for the first three months of 2024 in march, well, on february 3 tatiana 's european commission will start informal high-level meetings with member states the eu on... will discuss the details of the 13th package of sanctions against russia for its attack on ukraine, what is being said about it now in the european commission and what, what in... in general , what are the prospects that russia will eventually be forced to abandon a war with ukraine, since financially and economically they will not be able to carry it out, or are we simply talking about another set of sanctions, which in principle do not affect russia, or if they do, russia will definitely find ways to sell its oil in some way , own gas, own diamonds and other natural resources. yes,

the head of the european council, charles michel, spoke to journalists today about finding a way out of this situation, when russia has learned to circumvent sanctions. he said that it is possible that some mechanisms will finally be introduced in the new package of sanctions, which will prevent the circumvention of sanctions. that is , the european council and the european commission are well aware of this, they understand it perfectly, they are thinking about it, but what... specific measures to introduce have not yet been announced, until the introduction of a new package of sanctions remains less than a month, because as we know, they unofficially want to introduce it before the anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, that is, it will already be the end of february, let 's see, let's see, there are no specifics yet, they are talking about russian aluminum again, but this issue also has your opponents and your defenders, that's why you can't. to say for sure whether russian aluminum will be included in this package of sanctions, and there will be many

individual sanctions, thank you, thank you tetiana, it was tetiana vysotska from brussels, with inclusion after the european union summit in ukraine it was decided to provide macro-financial assistance in the amount of 50 billion euros, we will see how this whole process will take place, the main thing is that ukraine has guarantees from the european community to receive these funds. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us on youtube and facebook, do not be stingy, please like this video, leave comments under this video and take part in our vote, today we ask you about whether you understand zelensky's claims to industrious? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, vote either yes or no, if you watch us on tv, then vote if you understand. claims 0800 211381 no 080021382 all calls to these numbers are

free, please vote, your opinion is important to us. next on our air is political expert volodymyr tsybulko. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and thank you for joining our broadcast. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. volodymyr, since we are asking our viewers today whether they understand the claims from... to zaluzhny, i will also ask you, do you understand the claims of president zaluzhny to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny , valery, forgive volodymyr zelenskyi, zaluzhny, yes, this, it was, it would be good if it was a prophetic premonition, yes, please, in fact , it seems to me that... they are convinced that the command of the troops has lost a certain

effectiveness, because there is no progress on the ground, and this is the main indicator, i would not measure the successes or effectiveness of the actions of the ukrainian armed forces in the liberated territories, i would after all, i would measure, let's say, compare the first loss of the enemy, yes... the loss of our equipment, the enemy's equipment, the effectiveness of the military's actions in, let's say, in countering the enemy's troops, and not in the volume of the liberated territory, as we remember, the pursuit of territory, when in the zaporizhzhya direction , in the direction of vervovoy, the troops then advanced, quite actively on this so-called surovikin line, and we saw how, just before our eyes... fighters were killed, there were huge losses of equipment, well,

this one, well , the extensive war was stopped and began to act more cautiously, sparingly, and eventually moved to a more technological level of countering the aggressor. cnn wrote today that the zaluzhnyi issue is practically resolved, a few... days, a few hours, i don't know how much time is left until the presidential decree is published, what do you think, is this issue already resolved, or is it still being discussed, well , if zelenskyi... wants to finally take responsibility for the expected troubles, because what is the resignation of general zaluzhnyi, it is at least for months three, the loss of international communication, between the western and ukrainian military forces, then this is

probably a certain slack in the management of the troops, although of course. but, well, the same syrian commander of the ground forces will maintain his segment, there will be, accordingly, the heads of operational departments, operational directions will also, well, somehow maintain the troops in force, but we are talking about something else, we are talking about strategic planning, without the necessary in we will be burdened with strategic planning, and the most important thing will be... a certain problem with communications with western partners, this is very, very much, well, i think that zelensky is primarily driven by the fear of competition between the political and the hard-working, but by his actions he is pushing the hard-working into politics,

and this will cost him dearly, i would say , but look at what... the head of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny, we know what kind of politician valery zaluzhny is, we can only guess, because in principle he never demonstrated political ambitions, he never articulated presidential ambitions, that is, political he did not create a party, even a hidden one, which has been in the armed forces all his life, that is, it is a slightly different type of relationship between people, well, it is possible. and the third force, which you remember, once everyone was waiting for in 1999, when the presidential elections were held, maybe this is a delayed request, and even more so, now we understand why there is such a request, because the armed forces of ukraine have the highest rating trust, and the head and head of the armed forces of ukraine, of course, this

high trust, mr. serhiy, significantly it's simpler, our armed forces are a... more effective state institution today, people are tired of the quarrels of zelenskyi's entourage, of crime, of corruption, the troops are fighting, they don't, they don't have a trail of corruption, it's a political body, the ministry of defense has a trail, in there are military forces, there are difficulties in relations, because it is, after all, a huge human organism, such... well, the armed forces, these are hundreds of thousands of people who have their own hierarchy, psychology, morals, ethics, and in the end, a rigid vertical management in fact, it seems to me that valery zaluzhnyi in the case of an attack by politicians, by, for example, zelenskyi's entourage, and we see

that the attacks of such a ms. bezuglai, they are generally er... well, i would say, er, adjacent to, well, mental disability, i apologize , eh, these reproaches of the general, to the general , who was hired by the cornerless, is some kind of simple nonsense, which the bank does not even try to stop, but stimulates on the contrary, this is the first, second, eh, by their actions , politicians create... eh, well, a certain certain such, i would say, a lacuna in which there is a request for an effective wise, courageous and honest the politician, that is, general zaluzhnyi, is automatically given these powers by the people. let's remember how viktor andriyovych yushchenko ran for the presidential elections, and how much

banking power was set up against him, and how people... delegated to him the expected functions, the expected virtues, which perhaps he did not have, but now general zaluzhnyi precisely in that situation when people delegate to him the most beautiful features of a political leader, uh, i.e. honesty, responsibility, obligation, few words, honest emotion, i.e. everything that... beats politics, well a family member, relatively speaking, because zelensky won the election also in the format of everyone's family member, he lived on tv for 15 hours each. to the family every day on various channels, but general zaluzhnyi, in my opinion, receives a whole bunch of virtues through the pressure of the political authorities, which he himself may not

be aware of. mr. volodymyr, among the reasons that could become the basis for, well , misunderstandings, let's say this now, between zelenskyi and zaluzhny, the question of mobilization is mentioned. literally in a few days , the verkhovna rada of ukraine should consider the bill is next. bill on mobilization, and it is already known that there are a lot of different comments on this bill, attitudes to what is written there, and in general to this mobilization campaign of 5,000 people, this figure is also constantly circulating, it is not clear where it came from , but it is there, whether with the departure from the leadership of the armed forces in... the country of the savior, or whether this problem of mobilization will somehow be solved in a different way, because this issue is already in

the political plane, when the supreme commander must take responsibility the armed forces of ukraine? well, in general , the circumstances are such that it is zelensky who should show leadership in this area, he hides and avoids all the time. and constantly throws these hot chestnuts into the pants of others, eh, well, we recall the story that he demanded that the military write a law on mobilization, this was repeatedly voiced, then the cabinet of ministers, which submitted the first draft, then there was an appeal , the attempt is the same pointless, we recall the scandalous meeting of the committee of the verkhovna rada. on which he was general zaluzhnyi , the minister of internal affairs, and the minister of education are present, where in fact, well, a scandal happened, after which even

the servant of the people party itself wanted to recall mrs. beza from the committee, that is , her impression here is that zelenskyi simply leaned on zaluzhnyi in order to it is precisely on him to put full responsibility for the preparation. of this law, but this is the executive body, for writing laws there is the ministry of security, the ministry of defense, in which case, well , in general, the subject of the legislative initiative, in my opinion, we do not even have a ministry, but the cabinet of ministers, and also, by the way, the president, why doesn't he show his legislative initiative here, anyway, for... if it comes into force, then with zelensky's signature, i wonder why they keep twisting and turning it over to someone, when the final signature

under the bill will still be zelenskyi, that's the logic in this, in this chain of conflict, this is just a rhetorical question for now, the very end of our conversation, mr. volodymyr, i would like to ask you about nuclear weapons in the hands of the russian federation, because russia was swinging like that. according to this with a nuclear club, and now deputy minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation sergey ryabkov says that russia allegedly does not plan to deploy nuclear weapons in other countries. let's listen to what ryabko said. no, not planning. the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus was carried out as part of countering the increasingly aggressive and dangerous activities of the north atlantic treaty organization . with the united states, drawing a line by this alliance led by the united states on the task of russia's strategic defeat, expanding the practice of joint nuclear nato missions and many other things. our joint

decision with minsk to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in belarus is determined by the line of collective action. is it possible to conclude from these words, mr. volodymyr, that russia, with all these nuclear threats, has simply... taken three steps back, because the leaders of this country were told something about what would happen to them if they used nuclear weapons? well, the leaders were told back in the 22nd year, and then the intensity of swinging this club stopped, but it seems to me that for the ukrainian side now, as part of, so to speak, establishing a certain nuclear balance, it makes sense to invite, uh... the placement of british, for example, or american nuclear potential on the territory of ukraine, why? because belarus placed until well

provided. the permission to place nuclear weapons in violation of the same budapest memorandum, where, in addition to ukraine , the same belarus and kazakhstan appeared, that is, if belarus withdrew from the minsk memorandum, we must raise the question of creating a certain balance. i think that it would not be bad to place nuclear weapons in kharkiv, it would be rickety. a reminder of the red lines crossed by russia, by the way, russia itself forgot to re-read the text of the budapest memorandum before deploying nuclear weapons, at least consulting with ukraine was part of their duties, thank you, thank you, we must complete our program, mr. volodymyr , thank you for the conversation, it was volodymyr tsybulko, a political expert, friends, during the program
