and this phrase that boris johnson has that the american contingent in europe should replace the ukrainian troops is an answer to the question of what awaits europe, because the ukrainian armed forces are the only armed forces on the continent, as boris johnson writes, that are capable of resisting russian novel, this must be remembered. the second thing... is super important in this situation, which is obvious, despite the fact that london has left the european union, and london will set the tone in security issues in the nato system, and this is very important the fact that rütte will play a key role there. another very important thing, this is what valery zaluzhny said in his speech at this conference, is that gentlemen... democrats,

if we want to preserve democracy, wake up, we have today an understanding of what it is to fight evil, we we can, from you, we ask for two things, the first is technology and help, because, remember, i quote, neither ukraine nor russia, due to known reasons, are capable of doing this, and the winner will be the one who provides. a technological leap, there is no need to tear off these, this protrusion from the previous two materials, between which the difference is flawed, because there were exactly such conclusions, and this technological leap can be made only in the case when, as mr. zaluzhnyi says, the democratic world wakes up and understands the danger, because they, that is, evil, goes to kill, he in the second phrase... says, this is not

just an evil that will fight, this evil is going to kill, and we must defend it. it is important that even in the elected as, because there is a second headline, the explanation of trump's foreign policy, there are words about the fact that a coalition has been formed of evil, it is russia, china and iran, and the leader of this coalition, perhaps thanks to our discussions with you, you... it is known not beijing, but moscow, this is one more, one touch before the visit to luanzhou, minister kuleba. i return again to the field of euro-american, euro-ukrainian-american relations. and it is also very important in this area to note that ukraine in the current situation can, together with london , lead the whole world. current policy, not to be

the object of this policy, but to lead it, and valery zaluzhnyi in his speech makes it absolutely clear that you seem to be fine, you think that you understand everything, in fact, what is happening in the russian-ukrainian war is only a transitional stage, and we do not really know what awaits humanity in matters of tomorrow. therefore, either we work together and win, or we will surrender the situation one by one, now regarding syrsky from the subtext of this information, because it is necessary to read not only literally, but what is not written there, written, not written, but read between the lines, that is, that the armed forces of ukraine, the general staff are preparing a very serious plan, whether it will be counterattack or offensive. this is known only

to those who work on it, because when you combine the first part of this interview with the thesis about the ten-year plan for the return of crimea, it shows that freud has worked, well, he has spoken, which means that the current situation is only tactical a step of preparation for something serious, i am not giving anything away here, because in fact anyone who analyzes such texts... seeing this contradiction and reluctance to talk, actually understands that a certain step is being prepared, and this step is connected with the fact of coming to ukraine the required number of f-16 aircraft. now why does it sound all the way to the end? because syrsky, like zaluzhny, used to say, if you want western partners to be partners, please... please, fulfill your agreements, because

the aesopian language of zaluzhny, who actually said that you have mutilated. in 2022, you mutilated in 2023, open your eyes, wake up, assyrian, with his inherent, as a man, military, who participates in direct battles and battles, on elementary things showed that this happened because you didn't fulfill the agreements between us in time, you didn't put the first, second and third in time, you made the... events on the front line dependent on what you can or can't produce, tell the truth so that we can dispose of a resource that brings results. in fact, if you combine all these components, it becomes obvious that washington,

brussels, and london are gradually coming to their senses, they are beginning to understand that ukraine can lead them to... today. what is important in this situation? it is important that kyiv survives his position on the principle of ukraine is nothing without ukraine, and the dialogues with zahodov led to the fact that it will be productive, that is , they agreed, they decided, because the group that was created in vizbaden in nato for cooperation with ukraine has already... said : 50% of the agreement that was reached between ukraine, nato countries within the framework of ramstein by the united states of america, was not implemented in time and quality, as it was foreseen by bilateral agreements and even

written contracts. no doubt, mr. roman, look, i would like to ask you some more questions about the plans of the enemy, and speaking of the commander-in-chief, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi, he gave a rather...clear signal of what to prepare for, that is, the russians are trying to increase the number of their offensive offensive group to 690,000, so it sounds extremely serious, although we understand that we are talking about an increase of about 150,000 personnel, accordingly, we are carrying out a proper mobilization, but there is still a population, and we understand that the enemy will rely on an internal scenario, right? about suffering of the ukrainian people, they say both in the united states and in europe, as if everyone understands, but the trial bullet was the blackout of large cities, and we understand that there was a rather unpleasant reaction, i think that the enemy tested this matter in a sociologically analytical

way , and accordingly they are preparing for a scenario that will directly hit the population, so we understand that electricity is both about water and, in general, about... the vitality of cities, here is the answer in zaluzhny's speech at the conference, about which he says: it is necessary not easy constant communication of the government with society and the readiness of society to oppose it, we need truthful communication, frank communication of the government with society, which would be a kind of preventive step before what we are talking about, and... we must thank colonel general syrsky , that he frankly and honestly said: this is the situation, this is how events are developing on the front line, this is what can await us, what is important now? it is important that on the part of the government, on the part of the president, their administration and

ministries, and especially local authorities, the same honest communication, the same honest dialogue with people who... were prepared morally and verbally and especially resourcefully to survive the winter. i thank you, mr. roman, for this extremely important conversation on the air of the tv channel, i want to remind our tv viewers that now roman bezsmertny, an iconic ukrainian politician and diplomat, was working for them. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this day. see espresso, stay tuned. well of course take care of yourself and your loved ones, take care of each other. see you on air. verdict with serhiy rudenko, from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even

years and of them 23 years i have been in prison, such fate means that i will spend a little time in prison, take that interview, something for the war , let's take another interview, such life baggage will be normal. i perceive them the same as others, well, it’s just that when they start fighting, then we’ll see later, my mother cried, the woman said that i was a moron, they are the same soldiers as everyone else, two rules, the first is not to be a gamnamut, the second - this, i called it always to be plastic before studying, all my life i sit for drugs. only those convicted of pedophilia and convicted criminals were not sent to war

. on the way from perm, more boys were taken on the plane, and the total number of us went to krasnoyarsk and perm - 104 people. and they took us to the luhansk region, allegedly the city of shakhtarsk. according to the losses, we often see that people from one colony, as they were recruited, were issued tokens, that is how they die, that is... former prisoners are already at the front, some have accepted the first battle, but the majority are still being trained at the training grounds, this donbas realiya, i am yaroslav krechko, congratulations, today we will show how convicts are trained in ukraine, we will tell. how many such people have already become military personnel, and we will also analyze the experience of recruiting from the colonies to the russian

army. we have an exclusive interview with a prisoner from krasnoyarsk, who recently was captured. and already such people are beginning to advance in the time gap. and these are kronu and gatya, damn it. among those listening to a lecture on the sapper case, you will hardly recognize former prisoners. this side is good, we put this mine on the ground. a month ago, these several dozen men were in prison, and now they are servicemen of da vinci's first assault battalion. everyone has their own life story. during my 39 years, of which i have served 23 years, i decided to do something useful for the state. i was engaged in dancing, i am engaged in brick dancing. the situation turned out to be that i ended up in a drug-related prison, the case was

186, well, it's open robbery, theft, and without accomplices, if i didn't have reasons for this, there were all kinds of things, well, that 's how it turned out, fate meant that i would spend a little time in prison, collect that interview, so that now i could go to war. let's take another survey, such life baggage will be normal, they are united not only by the status of a convict, but also by the fact that all volunteers who voluntarily signed a contract with the armed forces of ukraine. mom was crying, the woman generally said that i was a moron and everything else, and in short, we still don't communicate with her, it's been a month, well , we don't meet, because she is. they were very angry, but how do you explain this decision to them? well, how do i explain, well, i went to fight, to protect

my country, well, first of all, my children and my parents, so that these people do not come under and start robbing, looting, killing there for a short time, well, if, well, if not me, then who, well somehow, my younger brother serves in the 47th brigade, he says, well done, at least something can in his life and says: i am proud of you, although, well, although he and i were not on such good terms, but now... i am trying to somehow restore relations with my relatives, i want, god forbid, after the war, if it ends, maybe i'll meet a girl, then i'll get married, i have to have a family, i'm the only one in my family who's single, now the recruits actually

go through basic training, shooting, military topography, medicine, just... in terms of training, everything is fine here very clearly , the guys explain to us thoroughly everything about the equipment, about everything, too, everything plus everything is given change of work change of work at first it's a little difficult because you've been in prison for a while , physically at first it's a little hard for us... in addition to the fact that we are engaged in serious physical activities, we also have a burden to carry, but gradually it gets easier and easier is becoming, now tie a grenade, and grenades, mines, explosions, medicine, guys, well, we will work with everything and we are working, first of all, the most important thing is what i chose for myself, well, it is medicine, so that i can

help a comrade , and myself at the same time to patch up, if someone is injured, well, i... i think that everyone can kill, but to save, well, it's not for all of us. in addition to the standard training for marksmanship, the battalion plans to work with soldiers according to its own program for at least another month or a half, teaching the nuances of engineering, combating drones and other skills necessary in modern warfare. this special company is commanded by palkin, a military man with many years of experience. i perceive them as the same as others. right now they want to fight, but they just don't know what war is yet, actually, i do i think that only directly in the battles do you

understand what is happening, well, you wouldn't cut off your neighbor's leg at the training ground, what... to show him what war is, wouldn't you throw a grenade there to, to show what war is , already in the battles they will understand that war is not romance, and it is not fun, and it is not cool, it is just, well, scary, first of all everyone is afraid, everyone is afraid, only afraid in different ways, what do we do, remove the safety , staple there are actually a lot of things to train, to teach, and shooting is there, there is combat, combat work, shooting is probably only, i don't know, 5-7% of what really should be, that is, many people there emphasize shooting, in fact it is not the most important thing, far from the most important thing, but it is necessary that they walk with weapons, why they come to us with weapons, they are the same

soldiers as everyone else, no one looks closely at them, does not look in, that is, that's it. they are under control just like any other soldier who is like any other conscript soldier whether mobilized newly mobilized i used to serve before on a contract, well, for me it’s not, not somehow , not wild, nothing, well, i understood where i end up, where i’m going, what will depend on me, what will be required of me, well, i was ready for that, oleksiy’s story stands out against the background of others, his own brother, volodymyr vlasishen. died in russian captivity, they both studied in khmelnytskyi, at a boarding school, the brothers were raised by their grandmother. we started service with my brother from azov, my brother stayed in azov to serve, he got married there, he has children, and now in the 22nd year they they were captured, they were taken from them in oleniavka, he died there in oleniavka,

well, i said to myself that i would, like me... what, take revenge for my brother, my land, my territory, my the state, free it from invaders, i can do something, i will do it for this. in ukraine, prisoners were allowed to become military personnel in may. many call this law about the mobilization of convicts, but it is about service under a contract until the end of the war, after parole. the procedure is voluntary. in the ministry justice. donbas-reality reported that 5,846 prisoners submitted such statements, and 3,554 are already in the army. this difference is about 200, these are those who... are still in the process of preparing documents for submitting her to the court for conditional early release, or the court has already made a decision on some of them, but it

enters into legal force within seven days. there are cases when there were two months left before the end of the term and the convict is a free person, but the convicts made a decision to be released through this procedure, motivating and justifying it that they want to return home as a soldier, and not as ex-convict. because this yoke, this status in our society also has a negative effect on the future fate. olena vysotska says that the number of prisoners willing to serve is even greater than expected by the ministry of justice, and a big role in this was played by military personnel who came to prisons to talk about the front and recruit people, in fact, engaged in recruiting. yes, the competition is big enough, but we have experienced people who know what they are talking about. that is, it is an hour-long job, a gathering of people, a story about the battalion, a story about the war in general, about myself, that is,

and it gives results, but the main point for us is to show, tell really how it is, without rosy illusions, fantasies, anything else, first of all they asked if i was a drug addict, if there is physical health, isn't it... the sick person is not crippled and everything else, and is there motivation to fight, well, if there is no motivation to fight, then what are you here for, why are you just going to walk and thinking, how can i bite off all this, well, it's not healthy either, yes i said yes, i, well, i smoked weed before, yes there was something like that, but after getting here, i understand that i need to become a fighter, to become a fighter , i need to be adequate, so all that was put aside, and in principle , i did not accept anything in prison, so i became worse, it’s much easier, i don’t have any problems, i don’t have any dependence, i was their

company commander, we also formed a company here from scratch last year, and even then they were full-scale, there were two rules, 2.5, let’s say, always, but the first thing is not to be a gamnamut, well, that is, it is a person who must to understand why she is here, what she is doing here, if something doesn't fit, doesn't suit you, you can voice it, speak up, don't go behind someone's back to incite someone or these things, that is, we all feel such things immediately on a very intuitive level, second - i called it always to be plastic to learning, to want to want to learn and to invest time in learning, to understand, to realize that here and now there is a reserve, this reserve of time is given to them by someone, because people perform tasks, given to them by someone in order to for them to... train and they replaced those people, they helped, and not just passed by on a papyrus, smoked a cigarette, looked at how beautiful the sky and the sun are there, this is the second moment, and the third, it’s already

two and a half, we always voiced this, always be in readiness for suddenly arising tasks. according to official data , about 27,000 convicts are in prison in ukraine. the ministry of justice agrees, the first wave of applicants is over. also a law in itself. forbids the release of several categories for army service, from top-corruptors to murderers and rapists, so it is difficult to say how many potential servicemen remain in the colonies. i won't say that there will be another 500, but at some point, i don't know, but i predict that there will be feedback from those who left in this first wave, and other convicts will make decisions for themselves, we have no one did not... set any plans, we saw that there is definitely such a need for such a procedure, we were all compared to the experience of the russian federation, but this

offends us more than, than somehow motivates, so no, we have legal guarantees for convicts , we wrote them out both for the state and for the convict, that is, everything is clearly stipulated, and our convict, being in the army, knows exactly who he is and what his rights are, that is, that he is a free man, he is up to... if does not commit a breach of contract or commits another crime, he will not return to the city. it is worth saying that the ukrainian approach and the russian experience are incomparable even in scale. russia has been recruiting prisoners for two years and continues to do so right now. donbas-reality recently recorded an interview with andrii from the krasnoyarsk colony, who signed a contract with the ministry of defense of russia on june 8 and less than a month later was captured on... in the pokrovsky direction.

on the plane, more guys were picked up from perm on the way, and the total number of us left krasnoyarsk and perm was 104 people, from these 104 people a company was organized, we arrived in luhansk, we were brought in big cars, these krazis or something like that, to some sawmill , they asked who had fought before, he came out alone, he was immediately told that he would be a company commander, they asked if there was anyone else who served in the army? i served, come out here and you will be the commander of the first platoon, who was still serving, i served, you will be the commander of the second platoon, that's how all the platoons were chosen, they spent the night there at this base and took us to the luhansk region, allegedly the city of shakhtarsk, they only took us to the store there, they could take us to the platoon, we gave them cards, at that time we didn't have any payments yet, we had cards, they drove, checked them, there is no money, no

money, no money, there was no money, it was the money that started to crumble, andrii says, were the main motivation for him , only for signing the contract, in general, presidential and regional payments were promised almost half a million rubles, more than 5 thousand dollars, andriy is now 54 years old, spent more than 20 years in prison, all my life i sit for drugs, all my life i sit for drugs, i am a heroin, i used to be an opium, then heroin left, heroishov you are released, drugs again, prison again, drugs again, prison again, those who will pass the interview, the extortion of russian prisoners began with the wagner group and was most massive during the battle of bakhmut. mediazna and the bbc russian service were recently able to learn documents on payments to relatives of dead mercenaries. according to their data, from july 1, 22 , to february 7, 23, in the colonies for...

we often see that people from the same colony, as they were recruited, issued tokens, die in the same way, that is, here it's just a week, the week of the ural colonies passed, then the week of the siberian colonies passed once, the losses are just going, we tried to make a kind of pipeline accordingly, here is the date of recruitment, the date of death, but it is... quite difficult to track, difficult to understand, based on incomplete data, again we only have information about the dead, a general idea that yes, indeed, they did not spend a lot of time on some training, that is, relatively speaking, they were taken to the camps somewhere near luhansk, there was some training two- three weeks maximum, after that before the fight, and as a rule, the first fight is already the last.

according to the media zone material. publicly, he said that we want robbers, we really do, he directly said that we want murderers, and such murderers who deliberately set out to kill, we have like, that's all he said, he was straight up...contemptuous of people who sit behind articles related to drugs. according to statistics, we see that this is not so. perhaps, in the early days, when he did not yet know what scale awaited his brainchild, he still, perhaps, really chose, and we saw that 40-50 people from the first colonies were really taken from the colony, and then this it was already necessary to sneeze some article. at the beginning of 23'.

this year, handsome stopped recruiting prisoners, but his business lives on. the baton was intercepted by the ministry of defense of russia. andrew, who he spent the entire time of the great war in the krasnoyarsk colony, he says that recruiters come every month or so. i didn't go to war for two years, i didn't even think about war. there were fewer and fewer people in the camp. only those convicted of pedophilia were not sent to war. already here, the locals, they finished in two years, then the administration began to create, so to speak, more difficult conditions, those guys who went there, through their wives, handed over the phones to us, the convicts , and they called us on the phone, it’s true, right from school, directly they said, why are you sitting there, here at all everything is fun, we don't deny ourselves anything, everything is fine, go, don't be afraid.
