church in ukraine . throughout our broadcast, we will have two studios, the first studio starts now and will be until 21:00, our guests will be volodymyr. yan, mykhailo samus and maksym rozumny, in the second studio, which will start at 21:15, we will have folk deputies of ukraine, yevgenia kravchuk, rostyslav pavlenko and yaroslav. however, before starting our big conversation, i suggest you watch a video of how ukrainian special forces in the kursk region ambushed a truck carrying special personnel of the invaders, as a result of a lightning operation, the car was destroyed along with the manpower. let's see how it all turned out.

friends, throughout our broadcast, we are working on our youtube and facebook platforms, for those who are currently watching us live on youtube. please take part in our survey, today we ask you about whether the kursk operation of the armed forces of ukraine will be a disaster for russia? yes, no, if you watch us on tv, turn off your smartphone or phones and vote on 0800 211 381, if you think and... wish, like volodymyr zelensky, that the kurdish operation of the armed forces of ukraine will be

a disaster for russia, no (0800-211-382). please vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. i want to introduce today's first guest, this is volodymyr omelyan, politician, diplomat, serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, former minister of infrastructure of ukraine. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, mr. sergey, i am also very glad to be your guest. well, first of all, let's start with the situation in the kursk region, because during the last week there was a lot of information about what is happening there, how everything is happening there. at first it was more information that came from russian propaganda channels. already today, volodymyr zelenskyi and oleksandr syrskyi speak directly about the fact that the armed forces of ukraine are conducting an offensive on enemy territory, zelenskyi. believes that the kursk operation of the armed forces of ukraine will be a disaster for putin's war against

ukraine. let's listen to what and how the president of ukraine says? we see how russia is actually moving under putin. 24 years ago there was the kursk disaster, the symbolic beginning of his reign, and now it is clear that kursk is also the end for him. the disaster of his war this is always the case with those who despise people and any rules. russia brought war to others, now it's coming home. ukraine always wanted only peace, and we will certainly ensure peace. mr. volodymyr, do you think that the kurdish operation will be a disaster for putin's war in ukraine? as a military man, i have no right to comment on the details of this operation. but nevertheless, it has definitely already become a shock, and this can be seen from the reaction of the kremlin, it

is visible, by the way, from the reactions of our allies, and again the issue of the russian-ukrainian war became top news in the western media and, by the way , in the asian media as well, the planning of this operation is necessary, and frankly, glavcomus syrsky, because he took into account ... previous mistakes, having very limited resources, believe me, we are at the front, on others in some areas we feel this very well, and it is very difficult for us, but nevertheless, he found these resources in order to make an absolutely lightning-fast, unexpected strike on russian territory, the war was transferred to the territory of russia, this is probably the key meaning, we showed the worthlessness, the laziness of the kremlin regime, until... they said that we can easily seize russian territory and continue to do so, because if yesterday the glavkom reported about 100

square kilometers, today the list of populated areas has increased, and i understand that we also take into account russian mistakes, because our logistics are not stretched, but are connected to the ukrainian border as much as possible, and we will have no problems with providing for our troops stationed there, provided that the west unconditionally supports them. allies, but the west too, spread your wings, they are enthusiastic about this operation, we saw it both from the side of the americans who arrived in kyiv yesterday, and from the side as well. the western press, the german high factors think nothing, there is no problem that the german leopards are now repeating the path of a century ago, and here we have in principle the unity of this issue, and we must not remember that we cannot have too much euphoria, this war is a very complex

operation, it can then proceed in different ways, and we must be ready for any moment. but nevertheless that it was definitely positive. against the background of the ukrainian offensive, mr. volodymyr, the dictator putin declared that negotiations with ukraine cannot be held now, well, it is understood that putin tried to explain that any efforts of the ukrainian side, the ukrainian army, the offensive on kurshchyna will not change their decision and their actions, let's listen to what putin said. now it is clear why the kyiv regime refuses our proposals to return to the peaceful settlement plan, as well as the proposals of interested and neutral mediators. apparently, the enemy wants to improve its negotiating position in the future. mr.

volodymyr, what putin proposed to ukraine was in... an ultimatum, in fact, it was a capitulation plan, to surrender three or four oblasts, plus crimea, to withdraw the armed forces of ukraine from the donetsk, luhansk, kherson, and zaporizhzhia regions, and now he is talking about the fact that, well, you see that ukraine does not want to accept our proposals, and take into account our proposals, ukraine is now advancing in the kursk region, there will obviously be a deployment of troops. what does putin want? you know, here it is difficult to say unequivocally, but let's start from what putin has. putin clearly has problems with reserves. when they always emphasized that russia is infinite, both in terms of human potential and military potential, it was a bluff. we

see that even a breakthrough in the kursk region, they have nothing to cover and are forced not to transfer there... new brigades, divisions, armies there, to bake them from other areas of the front, and frankly , they are not in the best condition. secondly, the russian economy is cracking wow, this is already stated by the high factors of the russian federation absolutely publicly and frankly, that things are going so well that soon everything will get even worse, and the third factor is that despite ... putin's attempts to cement russia from the inside, he succeeded in this through terror and intimidation and bribery. nevertheless, the situation when hundreds of russian, so -called conscripts are captured, is capable of undermining the consensus of the russian nation to support

this war, because it is one thing when convicts are sent to the front and voluntarily those who signed a contract, it’s completely different... it’s a different thing when young people suffer there from the point of view of the russian tyrant, and we definitely see the reaction of china, which is also extremely concerned about the fact of striking a nuclear state, an ally of china in fact, and where is yuri, where - facto, and there is no answer, well, there is no nuclear answer, it was obvious that putin never... refers to nuclear weapons, but the fact that there was no reaction for a week, that is, in fact, it resembles such a paralysis of the second world war, its next parts from the 41st year, when stalin closed in himself and did not interfere at all in the course of military operations during the attack of germany, so here it was the same situation where putin and

the kremlin did not know how to react and what to do, they still hoped that it was just a random drg there and ... and came for a week or two to run around the russian territory, as was the case last year, we must have thought about the russian liberation army, or rdk, as it is called, but here the matter is serious, we really, i see, are determined to move the war to the territory of the russian federation , and putin now has a very difficult story, but not an easy one history remains with us, we must not forget that despite the fact that we captured 1000 km of russian territory, as was announced yesterday, today it is already more obvious. the russians captured more than 100,000 km of ukrainian territory, therefore, knowing the russians, there will be no need to talk about some kind of equal exchange, the war will continue. but russia is getting less and less resources, when they say that they are ready to fight to the end, they are bluffing. another interesting reaction, mr. volodymyr, from our

western partners, united senators of the united states of america, richard blumenthal and lynsey graham during their visit to kyiv called the breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region a historic one, let's listen to what the senators of the united states of america said. it's a massive breakthrough, it's good news, it's big news that promises even more potential breakthroughs. now the russians will retreat, they will withdraw troops from other directions, they will use resources on this front that has been created, but the main news is that ukraine is now on russian territory. what do i think about kursk? bold, bright, beautiful, keep it up, putin started it, and we have to help with weapons so that the ukrainian military has the weapons it needs to win a war it

cannot afford to lose. mr. volodymyr, will the position of our western partners change regarding the possibility of using western weapons on the territory of the russian federation, because if ukraine has shown courage and skill in entering the territory of the russian federation, this means that the ukrainian army can go forward, but it is necessary weapons, western weapons, which will allow to consolidate successes, well, at least in the kursk region, well, any army can go forward, if it has a sufficient amount of resources and trained personnel, including command staff, but when we speak. about this situation, there are several aspects that are worth paying attention to. first of all, over the past year we have again started

to bring good news, and in particular from the battlefield. unfortunately, before that, there were not many such good news, we were either mired in a positional war, and since the beginning of this year, constantly bit by bit retreated. plus problems with corruption, problems with many others. things, with the economy, with reforms that have clearly stalled, they all created a negative background regarding ukraine for our allies, and sometimes it seemed that it was easier to just somehow look in some other direction, and not at ukraine. now the situation has changed, we see that ukraine is being taken over again, thanks to the situation with this operation in the kurdish direction, we see that the americans and... europeans finally stop being afraid of putin and the kremlin, they understand what can be done strikes on russian territory, being on russian territory, it remains that it is

still this nuance of the use of atakams and long-range german missiles, which still cannot transmit in any way, but german tanks can safely drive through the kurdish region and there are many other weapons western and no one makes any problems from all this, secondly. the domestic political situation is american, right? biden once again confirmed his commitment to democracy and his vision of american reform of the state, when he left the election, he messed up all the cards for trump, and we see that camila is gaining momentum and again becomes the likely, likely winner of this presidential race, and it shocks the russians, because all their plans and strategies that were being built.. . to reach in any way until november, and there we will somehow come to an agreement, can now be completely destroyed, in fact, i really hope that this wave raised by the armed

forces of ukraine will now push our allies to give us more weapons. , because for a successful offensive, deployment we need a lot of high-quality weapons to secure it and secure it in captured positions, secondly, we will finally see american... their veterans, released from the ranks of the armed forces of the united states, germany, and other countries, who will sit behind ukrainian f-16s, and there will be not dozens, hundreds, and let's put an end to this war, it can all be done quickly, for this we need a lot of support from the west and a lot of dedication of the ukrainian authorities to the course that they, about which they constantly talk, not in words, but in deeds, to show that we not only do we have... armed forces in the world, but we have the best ukrainian government in the world and we have the best ukrainian reformers in the world, so that ukraine should take an example in everything,

not only in war. well, by the way, you mentioned... about corruption, about the fact that our western partners are watching what is happening in the ukrainian government, literally against the background of this successful kursk breakthrough, we saw how deputy minister of energy oleksandr hale was arrested for bribery , 500,000 dollars for solving issues related to the transfer of equipment from the east of ukraine to volyn, and there three ee... accomplices pass by and the higher anti-corruption court chose preventive measures for both this hale and his accomplices, he is accused of receiving a bribe in the amount of 500 thousand dollars, well, it seems to me that somewhere approximately how much he has there and they are asking for bail, an alternative bail instead of a pre-trial detention center, this is such corruption at such a high level,

although they say that... the sbu says that the scheme was revealed with the assistance of the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko, which sounds a little strange, frankly speaking, that in he has a deputy, and his boss reveals this scheme of bribery, and somehow it looks like herman galushchenko did not even know who oleksandr hailo was and he was healthy and... nabu, what would you say from the practice of your work in the government and about the management of the ministry , could it be that the minister does not know what his deputy is doing, and what's more, this is the situation when the minister told sap and nab that it is necessary to deal with this deputy, because there is a corruption component. well, of course, it is excluded that the minister did not know what he was doing his deputy, and the prime minister did not have

information about what he was doing. in a separate department subordinate to him, moreover, if we are talking about the fact that the state is run by 5-6 managers, as the president himself emphasizes, then five or six managers cannot but know what their representatives do, because i do not i believe that any minister can now recruit his own team and bear personal responsibility for it, this is a scandal, unfortunately, we have enough of such scandals every day, and... it hurts a lot here at the front as well, because when people give their most valuable lives, they hope that those in the rear, who declare themselves to be part of the diplomatic, economic, cultural and many other fronts there, are really engaged in the sole victory of ukraine in this war, but judging by the trunks of cash, new real estate, houses, apartments, cars, far from everyone is engaged in this, the most annoying thing is, perhaps, that

only... units and i mean among the authorities, among ordinary people, we are grateful, because ukrainians still sincerely donate, despite the fact that the economic the situation worsens and opportunities for such a volunteer are becoming fewer and fewer, so i would still like the president to bring his team to their senses, because i understand that he plans to go to the elections, and the elections still need to be reached somehow. and the questions in the elections will be very painful, what exactly happened before the war, during the war, and who did what, unfortunately, these are the members of his team, and like mr. volodymyr, the military reacts to what is happening now in power, well, in particular about these trunks of cash, bribers, corruptors, because well almost every two or three days, such stories

are repeated and they acquire. well, look, we, we are in shock, that is, we are in shock, first of all, from what we constantly hear on tv, that the armed forces are provided with everything, that shells, drones, soldiers, cars, well, everyone has them, with a reserve in twice, three times more, it is not true, still 90, in some cases 50%, but no less has to be bought either with own funds, or it is a volunteer, or help. ah, some business structures, or benefactors or volunteer funds, the state provides quite modestly, and i would like to make the same public appeal to my colleagues in the drone army, when you supply drones to the military, please check what quality they are and whether they really meet the current needs, because when even well-known drone drones that have high efficiency, every state drone should be resoldered, well, i

think that this is a bad result of work. and spent taxpayers' money.
