as well as beautiful pages, which for some reason we do not talk about, as soon as we start talking about difficult pages and start fanning them, who wins, the aggressor country wins, the russian federation, which destroys either poland or ukraine, and most polish politicians understand this. we have unresolved issues, for example, at one time we suspended the exhumation of poles who died on the territory of ukraine, and i consider this, i personally do not consider it correct, but the poles destroyed... her memorial tablet in the village of the monastery where upa soldiers died , who fought with the nkvd. and this one the table was there in accordance with polish legislation, it was approved, it fully complied with all norms of polish legislation. it was destroyed by vandals, and it has not yet been restored. and there was an agreement between president duda and president zelensky that the poles will restore this table and we will unblock the exhumation. i think it is absolutely possible to do this from all pragmatic and practical practical and human points of view, and i am convinced that it... must

be done and we will do everything for it, and volodymyr petrovych met there with also very a well-known polish historian, with whom they often have debates, grzegorz motyka, and grzegorz motyka is now the head of the military historical commission under the ministry of defense and is precisely responsible for these issues, and they found an understanding on this and are developing a road map plan on how to avoid all this, yes that i think that we and the poles will come to an agreement here, but this does not mean at all that the poles will not use it in their internal political issues, which is unfortunately happening these days. well, let's hope so these issues, which are being articulated now, will not prevent ukraine from joining the european union, and poland will not put this issue in the way of ukraine, which will be in power in poland, in six months there will be the presidency of poland in the eu. our task is to settle all disputed issues with the poles, and they and we are equally interested in this. thank you, mr. mykola, for the conversation, it was mykola knyazhytskyi, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we continue to work live on the espresso tv channel, and now we will watch a small story before. before including ours

military expert oleksandr kovalenko, we are talking about unmanned aerial vehicles from the military, requests for these vehicles are growing and making dangerous gifts for the russian occupiers helps til in poltava opened a course on how to assemble a drone, how the classes are going, anna morozova saw. poltavka ksenia has an engineering education and last worked with a drunkard 10 years ago. today, she came to a training on how to assemble a drone and for the first time in a long time remembers how to work with equipment and boards. we try something on the test boards solder wires, for example, a power wire, and remember all the nuances of work. we practice doing neat soldering, as if there is nothing difficult at all, if you just listen to the theory, and take flux, take solder and connect it all with a soldering iron, but there are a lot of nuances in doing it carefully. can

help collect dangerous gifts for the russian occupiers, that is why a basic course on making uavs was launched for civilians in poltava, two dozen people came to the second class. finally i soldered, maybe, well, quite qualitatively, because after all , you need to have skills and experience in this regard, but the lead is soldered, it holds, and different techniques were used there. yes, and there with this plus, then with tin, try to solder the power contacts, try to solder such small contacts, by the way, this is exactly the elrs module 915 mar that we burned. the five-hour lesson consists of two parts: first, they get acquainted with the list of spare parts, working tools and stages of work, the practical part is built on working with wires, contacts and a soldering iron. bohdan admits that the terms and wording

are difficult for him, but it was important for him to see the process of manufacturing drones. i don't understand this at all, drones are interesting to me, but more interesting for general development. i understand that there are a lot of areas that are important, a lot of people in these areas buy us time so that we can do all this here, and then go somewhere further on bicycles, then to a cafe, or to work, and i want just out of respect to understand what people do, how they do it, at least on some basic surface level. instructor oleksandr compares assembling a drone with jewelry work, because concentration and caution are important here, so it is an opportunity for students to test their strength and skills. they come to discover some new questions for themselves, to work with some technique that they have not encountered before, they also come and have the skills to understand them, it is not theirs, to understand whether it is worth developing further in this direction, buying some equipment, create drones or do something else.

to get to the training, you can pay for the center drone collection lessons can deepen the readiness of civilians when needed or requested. anna morozova, bohdan proskurov from poltava for tv channels. friends, i remind you that we are working live on the tv channel, as well as on our platforms in youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on these platforms, now live, take part in our survey, we are asking you today whether do you think that the russian special services are behind the murder of farion, yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, either yes or no, if you have your please leave a separate opinion in the comments below this video if you watch us on tv. take your expensive smartphone or phone and vote for the numbers if you think the russian special services are behind the murder of iryna fariv 0800 211 381, not 0800-211-382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. and

then we have oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political observer of the information resistance group, on the phone. mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. congratulations. so, let's start with the fact that for the second night in a row, the russian federation attacked the izmai district of odesa with drones, and these drones flew further to the border from romania, even, as those who live on the other side of the border say, in romanian settlements or villages, they talk about these drones falling on that side. border, nato does not yet see what they say is a deliberate attack on the alliance in the fall of shahed in romania, reuters reports, although nato has no information indicating any deliberate russian attack on the territory ally, these actions are irresponsible and

potentially dangerous, said the representative of the alliance. why, mr. oleksandr, do our western allies so avoid answering simple questions if they are russian drones. they fly into the territory of a country that is a member of the north atlantic alliance, why does the alliance constantly say: well , they flew there by accident, that this is not an attack on a nato member country, what should happen for nato to say: listen, well, that’s not possible, russia shouldn’t behave like that , and we will not allow their missiles, their drones to fly on the territory of nato member countries, well, i think that even if... dronkadze hits some object on the territory of romania, they will still look for an excuse that it was not intentional. the fact is that the russian federation is not the first to use the airspace of other countries to carry out strikes on the territory of ukraine. and romania is also not the first

case. in 2023, when there were strikes on reni and ishmael at exactly the same time. of the so -called grain terror, which russia staged, it also used air space of romania in order to reach arni and ishmael more safely. also, i will remind you that in 2022 and not only the 22nd, but the 23rd year of the caliber cruise missiles, they flew through the airspace of moldova in order to more safely reach the central, western and northern regions. countries, although moldova is not a nato country, and in principle it does not have air defense that could effectively counter the calibers, but still, this is also an example of how someone else's airspace was used. belarus is also used even by drones and kamikazes, v lately they have been flying into

the airspace of belarus in order to shorten the approach distance to kyiv region and chernihiv region, and poland, let's remember poland, how an x-55 missile went down in the forest on the territory of poland in general, which flew there and even the poles did not know, that she violated their airspace, and therefore , in fact, russia constantly violates the airspace for what? in order for its weapons to reach the target with a lower probability of being hit by our anti-aircraft weapons, as well as to reduce the distance. this is a direct blow to the members nato of the north atlantic alliance, that 's the point that... no, that's the point that all the actions of the north atlantic alliance, they are related to the bureaucratized and archaic fifth article of collective security, and unfortunately , indeed, in this case, they will not do anything to, for example, stop

russia, or to stop the very process of the flight of such objects through their airspace, but it turns out that the north atlantic... alliance in this case, according to logic putin plays the role of patient, because russians try out, test different options for possible attacks. today the drone just flew by or it accidentally flew there, next time it is not by chance that an ee kha-55 missile will fly into the territory of the polish state, i.e. is there a limit where nato will say: listen, well, let's end this already, because that's not how we will wait for the russians fighter jets in its sky, and... the limit may be, it is a targeted strike on the territory of one of the nato countries, but

even then the fifth article of collective security will not be involved, the fourth may be involved, strengthening the defense of countermeasures along the borders of nato countries, and the constantly increased patrolling and indeed shooting down of those objects that fall into the airspace of one of the alliance countries, but it is not necessary to talk about... something more significant even in this case, because in principle the fifth article collective security, it will work exactly when, for example, the russian military appears on the territory of estonia, as an option or finland, uh, in that case, yes, indeed, and again, not quickly, they will all gather and will decide among themselves, and who will be what to help either estonia or finland and in what number of troops, that is, there... the process itself is also bureaucratized, and therefore yes, we

are witnessing that nato, in principle, it is a large, indeed, quite powerful military-political alliance, but at the same time , this alliance is a hostage to its archaisms, which needed reforming a long time ago, but nato, like everything that was created long ago and is already outdated, is afraid. reforms let's talk, mr. oleksandr, about the situation at the front. commander of the national guard brigadier general oleksandr pivnenko says that soon the russian troops will be forced to go on the defensive in several directions. i will quote mr. general. the enemy's offensive capabilities are unlimited, and how many losses they will suffer. i think they won't be able to conduct active assaults on many at once for another month or a half. and will be on the defensive in any case, we need to form our

units during this time, prepare, well, actually, what pivnenko says, general zaluzhnyi said six months ago, even more so, in the fall of the 23rd year, which one way or another, well, such a situation can develop at the front. how do you characterize what is happening at the front, in the east and in the south? indeed, now the russians are pushing as hard as possible, they have the impression that they are going to the upbank, and this can be understood in principle, it can really be called a kind of vabankam, because according to the information that appears now among, well, even the monitoring resources that observe for the losses of the russian occupiers, for their compensation for losses and... the production of weapons, the restoration of russia's weapons in 2024

year, this year is quite critical in terms of the potential for recovery of losses in the combat zone , and russia is approaching a critical moment when its monthly compensation for losses will be lower than these losses will be every month, that is, trivially, if russia loses 300 tanks in a month, then in the future, it will be able to restore there... 250, 240, that is , it will constantly be minus this category, the same with vbm and with other means, so russia is trying, as long as it still has this resource, while it has this window of opportunity to capture the territory as much as possible of ukraine, in order to then catalyze all its possible tools to force ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table and impose peace on it on its own terms, so... i call it a gamble, and the fact that it will not have this

potential constant, yes, it really is, depletion in one direction or another will occur, although some directions will remain quite active, first of all, these are pokrovsky, turetsky, and also kramatorsk, well, this week another such big one came out, i would say , a program interview with the chief of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi in the guardian. this is the second interview in the last six months, it is meaningful, it is saturated with various answers that give a vision of how the situation will develop further. in ukraine and syrsky says that ukraine will do everything possible to reach the internationally recognized borders of 1991, and the ukrainian military leadership also has a plan to de-occupy crimea, i quote mr. asyrsky, it is realistic, of course, it is a big military secret, we will do everything possible to reach the internationally recognized borders of 91, we must win to

to release our citizens who are in the occupied territories who are suffering, in addition, he said that the ukrainian military , thanks to kamikat drones, at a long range, targeted about 200 objects of critical infrastructure on the territory of the russian federation. according to him, russia intends to increase the number of occupiers in ukraine to 690 thousand by the end of the year. mr. oleksandr, how do you feel about these statements of general syrskyi, because in the plans announced by the politicians. in particular, the former prime minister of great britain boris johnson, we are talking about borders, not borders, about borders that should return to the borders in the peace negotiations with russia, which were as of february 24 , 2022, that is, in this case, we are still talking about the fact that syrsky now has more

ambitious goals, is it realistic to achieve these goals, that's it... here is the most interesting thing, in the context of which other third parties to consider such statements, because you mentioned boris johnson, yes, but when exactly did it appear this information is about smaller as of the start of the full-scale invasion on the 24th on february 22, it appeared in the context of bryce johnson's meeting with donald trump, as a candidate for the presidency of the united states, and the discussion. plan, regarding the peace plan of donald trump, we must remember what he said before this meeting, and i will quote, he said the following: i have a peace plan, i will present it to ukraine and i will present it to russia, if ukraine refuses this peace plan, then ukraine will lose, if russia refuses, then russia will lose, let

's imagine such a situation, donald trump, just imagine, he wins the election. in the president of the united states becomes the next president of the united states and presents this peace plan, and okay, well, ukraine can agree to it, why not, as an option to withdraw russian troops from all those territories that they captured after february 24, 2022 and return to the status quo as of february 23, 22, on those borders, and here it arises. question: will russia agree to this? and this is the most interesting thing, russia, she will refuse. so, if russia abandons donald trump's peace plan, then who loses? how exactly does he lose in in this case, russia, well, it will depend exclusively on the actions of the us president. and this is

only in this case. and on the other hand, indeed, we can now state that none. an official statement, no official position demonstrates that we are abandoning our main goal, namely the exit to the borders of 1991, and if we do not simply speak with slogans or statements, namely the moment with the return of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, it looks realistic enough , i will say even so, i will say even more, a to return the temporarily occupied crimea peninsula... possibly to ukraine much earlier than donetsk and luhansk regions. crimea will return to ukraine quite possibly sooner than donetsk and luhansk regions. well, you have, you mean, crimea will be a peninsula will be turned into an island, and this will simplify this task. he is already transforming.

of course. see, another statement came out this week from the commander in chief. of great britain antony radakin during a speech at the conference of the royal joint institute for defense studies in london predicted what russia could do in the next 5 years. he says that russia has lost 550,000 people in ukraine, and according to our estimates, says antony radakin, it will take putin 5 years to restore the russian army to the level it was in february 22, and more 'yeah years after that to correct the weaknesses that the war revealed, so according to your estimation, will putin have these 5 years to rebuild... the russian army, or will our western partners understand that rebuilding the russian army and strengthening russian army threatens not only ukraine, but

also western europe? i think it won't happen, i think it won't happen, and here's the reason: firstly, russia intends to conduct sufficiently intense hostilities at least until the end of 2024. it will not be in all directions. large-scale offensive actions, of course, but nevertheless it will consume resources, primarily in terms of equipment, i do not count human resources in this case, it is equipment, in turn , its potential of warehouses and storage centers is almost depleted, and precisely the end of 2024 year, the beginning of the 25th year, this is the moment when the restoration of losses, the compensation of losses, will again be negative, will go into the negative, and this raises the question of how in 5 years russia can restore its position, which it had

as of 2022 a year, if, firstly, the warehouses will be all emptied, the production of the same tank equipment on the territory of russia is virtually non-existent, the only subsequent one is... the manufacturer of tanks from scratch is the ural-vagon-zavod, at the same time, it produces approximately up to a company can produce up to a company of tanks, less than a company of t-90 tanks and less than a company t-72 tanks, and in general it is somewhere around a company. so, the question arises, how russia will compensate for the numerical losses, which have already exceeded 8,300 tanks, after 5 years, well, according to the data of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, mr. general himself, he fully speaks about the veracity of the data of the general staff

of the armed forces of ukraine, when talking about the 550,000 personnel lost by the russian occupiers, hence the technical data, they are as follows: will russia be able to restore more than 8,300 tanks when it has almost no production and empty warehouses. no never can even in 10 years, will she be able to recover from the number of armored combat vehicles that they lost more than 16 00, no, she will never be able to, so russia is now suffering such losses in technology that she has never had due to her military-industrial complex will be able to restore, and when the warehouses are completely emptied, it will completely lose any military potential. that's the point, unfortunately, western analysts, western experts refer to russia as a country that is a production base,

which can produce machinery itself. in fact, it should not be treated like that. russia has been around for a long time, it is a big repair base, it can restore, repair and modernize, but not produce equipment, that's what... and the difference, and if the west understands this, they will quickly understand how exhausted, irreversibly exhausted in the third year war russian federation, thank you, thank you, mr. oleksandr, this was oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political columnist of the information group resistance, friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our platforms on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on these platforms, please like this video, don't be stingy, and take part in our survey, today we are asking you... do you think that the russian special services are behind the murder of farion? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have a different opinion, please leave it in the comments below this video, if you are watching us on

tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote for the numbers if you think, that the farion is behind the murder russian special services 0800 211 381, no 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free. next we will be in touch with oleksandr khara, diplomat, expert on foreign and security policy, that is... defense strategies, mr. oleksandr, i welcome you, thank you for joining the broadcast, good evening, mr. serhiy, thank you for the invitation , well , you see, on the day when we invited you to the air, joseph biden also appeared in public, who was almost buried by the tv anchors of the fox news channel and wrote about the fact that show us a living biden, because there is only his written consent to withdraw from the elections, that is , the fact that he is withdrawing today. biden came out and addressed the americans on television, he said that until the end of the term he remains in the position of president of

the united states of america. and said that among the priorities in office, at the end of the term, he also has the support of ukraine. let's hear what biden said. i am the first president in this century who can tell the american people that the united states is not at war anywhere in the world. we will continue to rally a coalition of proud nations so that to stop putin taking over ukraine and causing even more damage. make nato stronger, i'll make it stronger. mr. alexander, good words from biden, but the main point that was during his election campaign, which was interrupted, that i stopped putin, in the next six months until january 21, 25, can biden do something that , what really falls under this category, i

stopped. or did i destroy the russian plans for the war in ukraine? well, you know, objectively, from an american point of view, ukraine won strategic victory and there was a strategic defeat of the russian federation, if you look at putin's plans, that he could, or rather wanted to seize ukraine in a few weeks, he did not succeed, the ukrainian people united, the ukrainian leadership did not flee abroad. eh, and the western partners, seeing such a will of the ukrainians to resist, began to help us, and from his point of view this is a great victory. of course, we would like more, our victory is the liberation of all territories, not only those that were captured until february 24 of the year before last, and of course, we are not entirely satisfied with the speed and volume of the aid that is being given to us, and by and large...

it is obvious that from the very beginning of the united states, the key goal was not victory and not ukraine's victory, not defeat of the russian federation, and this is the situation on the battlefield that would force putin to sit down at the transition table, and of course, this was a failed strategy of the americans, they restrained us, including us , in the 22nd year, because according to the currently available information, they were afraid the use of nuclear weapons by the russian federation, and in the 23rd year they could give us a little more in terms of the means that were needed to liberate our territories, first of all i mean air platforms, the same f-16s, and by the way, the united states has not provided and still does not promise to provide us with such platforms, they only give a thumbs up about the transmission from other countries, and frankly, i would like to see biden do a radical overhaul of the failed

american strategy at the end of the term. in relation to the russian federation and will take several important steps, steps: the first, of course, is this permission to strike on russian territory with western weapons, because this is absurd, it was like that from the very beginning, the second is what our experts and activists are asking now, it is to close the sky for western ukraine so that we have the opportunity to set up production there , i am not talking about the protection of the civilian population, well... of course, this would also help our neighbors, but recently we saw once again the airspace of a neighboring country was violated by drones, thank god that no one died, but we did not we see something serious reactions from nato. the third point that biden could make is, realizing that the election can be lost to trump, and according to public opinion polls, despite the fact that

camila harris ... shows better results than biden, well, it still remains that possibility , in fact, before the possible arrival of trump, ukraine should receive everything we need to fight, down to the last cent, so that money does not burn, as it happened last year, because several billion dollars were not used, and of course that it is absolutely wrong, in such a war, a war. to attrition, most importantly a war of genocidal type, here, but i honestly doubt that he will do it, because they are afraid of escalation, they are afraid on the one hand, escalation on the part of russia, and on the other hand, a defeat of russia that can lead to the collapse of the russian federation, so most likely we will not see anything drastic. donald trump.
