the war will come to them, regardless of whether long-range weapons are provided to ukraine or not, because putin will feel impunity, but then again, the nature of democracy is that until it happens, the west is waiting for him to stumble , that everything will be like this, somehow it will calm down and nothing will happen, and this wave of violence will not come to western countries, but i, on the other hand, want to remind you that in the west they are still providing ukraine with weapons little by little... moreover , they are very different, but they do it is, as it were , quietly, imperceptibly, so as not to provoke unnecessary irritations of putin, because i will remind you that a lot of those weapons, american weapons, including those that ukraine now has, they also did not want to provide at first, and also, at first they did not want to provide them with the same rhetoric, so that there would be no escalation, and then little by little, step by step, missile by missile, these weapons were provided, so i think the same is true now with regard to long-range missiles. that

the americans might give us, will be roughly the same scheme: the biden administration will say no-no-no, this could lead to escalation, and then they can provide these weapons little by little, but not much with the fact that if we open an opportunity, and then strengthen this opportunity by providing even more weapons, well, of course , we would like to be given a lot of weapons at once, but for this we had to think in ukraine , or years of independence. in order not to have any illusions about russia, but to announce the course for joining nato, this should have been done back in the 90s, then we would not have all these problems that now, well, i think that in any in any case, the west remains ours partner, i think that for no one, there is no surprise in this if i say that largely thanks to the support of the west, the ukrainian army can defend itself, because the west provides weapons, the ukrainians have courage, and... the weapons

are western after all , and therefore, what partners we have, we have such, there are no others, and in any case, it is these partners who help us now and will help us, but they, of course, i repeat, are primarily concerned about themselves, so they do not provide us with the a weapon that we would like to be provided immediately and very much a lot, well, since all the agreements that were in effect after the signing of the budapest memorandum... have been destroyed, and in principle, we also made a commitment that we would not be a nuclear state and surrender nuclear weapons, maybe it makes sense in principle to start some discussion in ukraine regarding the renewal of ukraine's nuclear status, step one, we will disarm, step two, russia attacks, that is , it, and it turned out that the signatories, well, the same united states, there is britain, europe, no one stood up for us military power. that

to say stop, you can’t do that, now it’s all obvious to everyone that we need to have the status of a nuclear state, at least the status, at least a few bombs, which we can say, we also have a nuclear club, given ukraine should at least talk about it, that it's like okay, we will restore, we have the potential, we have the opportunity, we have there, well, i don't know. as we have enriched uranium there, but it seems that we will go to this in order to renew our nuclear status, why? because we are afraid of russia, there are madmen near us, they can restrain only so that the nuclear blackmail is mutual, uh, that's why we have to go from statements, but to the maximum, well, i would say so, well , to the next governments, the next government that will replace zelenskyi. recommended

restoring the nuclear status of ukraine, this is correct, because it was ours, our barrier against, well, against, against the russians. thank you, mr. viktor, mr. serhiy, this is a scenario when ukraine will at least start a conversation, although this conversation, by the way, was started by zelenskyi before the big russian offensive in february 22nd on munich. security conference he talked about it, then the russian propaganda twisted it and said, well , listen, they are already going to make a nuclear bomb there, so we have no option left, or is it possible to raise this question at all now, and what could be the result? i think that now the question should be asked not whether or not, the question should be asked how? so, in order for any country

to be able to develop nuclear weapons, first of all , this requires the colossal will of the political leadership of this country, and it is necessary ... for this country to be independent from others, because the nuclear club of all without exception, they are always categorically against if any other country develops nuclear weapons, and in this case russia, and the united states, and france, and all those who have nuclear weapons, it will be all of them, will be against will be against ukraine developing nuclear weapons. such is the nature of the nuclear club. therefore, ukraine first of all needs to become economically and politically independent from any other country, or at least less dependent. unfortunately, this is not relevant for ukraine now, because

ukraine is very dependent on western supplies weapons but here's what i want to say, you say we need to start a conversation, no, we don't need to start a conversation, because examples. of countries that, despite the world's opposition, developed nuclear weapons, shows that we need to talk less, we need to do more, for example, india, and then pakistan and maybe israel, when they were developing nuclear weapons, they did not talk about it, they developed it first, then they tested it, and then announced to the whole world that they had it, if they had spoken, the world would have been so opposed to it, so much in there was opposition to this, what would they do with it... it is very difficult to do something, so really for the ukrainian authorities, well, probably it will be the next generation of the ukrainian authorities, it may become very relevant, and i think it would be right, to appear , the development of our own nuclear weapons would become relevant, but at the same time

it is not important, it is not necessary to do it loudly, it is not necessary to make a show, pr or promise about it, it is tomorrow, as we sometimes do now, it must be developed and then announced , then it will make sense, and the world then. it will be necessary to accept, as he accepted the fact that india has nuclear weapons, or pakistan, or israel, well , it's true there in israel they say that maybe it's a bluff, but at least they say that they don't have it, if, but if they have to, they it will be applied, there is such a formula, well, i think that ukraine needs to approach this issue, and the alternative to nuclear weapons, if in principle there is one, then it can only be one, it is the accession of ukraine to nato under the nuclear umbrella of nato, then it can somehow... compensate for this conversation, and by the way, it can be very a constructive conversation with our western partners, when we simply explain to them that we have no way out: either you take us into nato and protect us with your nuclear shower, or we develop our nuclear weapons, and then it

will be a substantive conversation, it will be a very powerful argument for the event to speed up the euro-atlantic integration of ukraine. by the way, more nuclear weapons will be developed in the west. because everyone understands very well that this is a russian threat, it can be a threat to the west again, so this conversation will be very relevant, but it must be done professionally, taking into account the experience of other countries that did develop nuclear weapons, even though it was very difficult. thank you, mr. serhiy, serhiy taran, viktor boberenko were guests of our program today, gentlemen, thank you for participating in the program, i would like to remind you that throughout our broadcast we conducted a survey and asked you, friends, about this, do you think? timely personnel update of the ukrainian government, let's look at the results of the television poll: 24%, yes, 76%, no. on our youtube ratio 37% yes, 63% no. that's it, friends, we put an end to it, it was the

good evening, we are from ukraine. lviv was destroyed, the russians hit the city, there are dead and wounded, drones and rockets, they also attacked kyiv, kryvyi rih, sumy and other regions and cities of ukraine. the details are on the air: personnel changes, but will there be a result, today the parliament voted for the dismissal of ministers, who is for... without a portfolio, who would be lucky enough to keep the portfolio, we will tell you about it. the imf is pressing, creditors are demanding the hryvnia to depreciate and taxes to rise. bloomberg cites sources, but there is still no official information on whether to believe the rumors. stabilization front, evacuation from pokrovsk and new threats, as well as germany is preparing new pporist systems for ukraine. more about this when we wait for serhii zgurets. putin wants to meet with xi, all because of money or? will beijing make concessions to moscow, and in kyiv , what quarantine restrictions will be introduced and what is

the new threat, from tomorrow a day of mourning has been announced in lviv, according to the latest information, seven people have died, and also today three days of mourning began in poltava oblast due to the attack of enemy missiles on poltava, where more than 50 people died. unfortunately, today again it's a rainy day, but we will talk about the most important things, today there are many interesting and important things in our life. ethers, stay with us, let me remind you that this is a big ethereum, my name is vasyl zyma, and i invite to the conversation serhiy zgurets, the director of the defense express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, and serhiy just survived an air raid today. to lviv, serhiy, congratulations, please, congratulations to you, vasyl, congratulations to our viewers, today in our section we will talk about the terrorist attack on lviv, the lviv region, about what is happening in individual areas of the front and why our partners do not dare to let the armed forces begin to use their weapons to destroy military facilities on

the territory of the russian federation, about all this in a moment. the enemy continues targeted terrorist missile attacks on our country, kharkiv, sumy, poltava, today lviv, and once again, adult citizens and children, unfortunately, have been killed by enemy missiles. the buildings that were hit in lviv had nothing to do with the military purpose, of course, the enemy now has only one goal, which is to intimidate our society'. ability to undermine the resistance to resistance, but it is clear that it will not succeed due to the work of our air defense, the whole tonight was 42, our air defense forces shot down seven missiles and 22 unmanned aerial vehicles of the enemy, it was not possible to destroy two dagger airballistic missiles, two k22 missiles,

four out of six kh101 guided missiles were also shot down. and all three iskander k cruise missiles . in fact, the figures are high, but what broke through our air defense did a lot of damage and a lot of trouble. and so against the background of this it is clear that ukraine needs, of course, permission to strike at objects on russian territory where these launchers can be located. ukraine also needs western air defenses, in particular, to intercept russian missiles. in the border regions of ukraine, in particular, those missiles flying to lviv could also be intercepted by polish patriots, and more air defense equipment from partners, in this sense it is indicative that germany confirmed today that there is an order for 17 arista air defense systems in various configurations for the armed forces of ukraine. well

, further on the front, what is happening on the front line, today i will talk about only two areas. out of eight, where the enemy is trying to conduct offensive actions, first of all this is the pokrovsky direction, in six months the wedge in our defense is about 30 km, in the last month the advance is 4 km, of these 30 km the width of the wedge is 20 km, and here everything is concentrated on advance to pokrovsk, through which our eastern front in donbas and the south is fed, so to pokrovsk, somewhere up to 8 km, and if earlier still the main efforts were directed precisely in russia to pokrovsk, mirnograd, grodivka and novogrodivka, which were left by our military, now the emphasis has changed somewhat, in the last days the enemy is trying to operate on the southern flank towards salidovy and

memrik lytsynivka, karlivka fields, if you can say so here , that the defense of selidovoy is holding, there is... the enemy in front of this line is the ukrainian line and halytsynivka, and all this is due to the units of the units that were transferred to this direction, and by the way, there were counterattacks near the valley, where there was the advance of the enemy has been advanced and some of our positions have been repulsed, there is also a withdrawal of our individual units to avoid encirclement along the karlivka-krasnohorivka line towards the nearby heights. the first, the desire of the second, this is actually a line of defense that runs along the western, along the eastern bank of the vovche river, where the enemy is trying to put pressure on our defenses, but in fact it is not yet known in which direction the skirmishes of hostilities will lean there, because there in particular, there was a video where our 59 separate motorized infantry brigade was quite effectively destroying

equipment, armored vehicles of the enemy, which is trying to... advance in this area, in general, the pokrovsky direction is extremely difficult, but the main thing is that it must be said that the dynamics of the enemy's advance, despite this high intensity of hostilities, actually slowed down, which is, in principle, a sign of that the transfer of our reserves, probably a more purposeful approach to the management of troops is given in signs. and another direction is ughledar, where it has also recently become quite difficult, because the enemy... is trying to carry out an encirclement with two directions, now we see the map, we see er ughledar, we know that... for a long time, the frontal attacks of the enemy have not been successful, because ughledar is in a certain way on high ground, open terrain around it and any

the enemy's attempts to go through the minefields with tank columns or other methods were of course hopeless, we know that there is a russian marine brigade there, one of the brigades was twice destroyed there in this area, but now the enemy has somewhat changed their approach and is trying.. . to advance from the watery, it precisely the western or northwestern direction from the coal mine, and another direction is pavlivka, the clearing, the enemy has had some success there recently, but the enemy's further movement from the clearing there is restricted by the river kashlagach, and all this is now happening in such dynamics, what are the risks, if, conditionally speaking, in these two directions from the west and from the east, the enemy will attack, then in fact there is no point in capturing the ugledar, simply due to the cutting of logistics, a threat is created for

our ugledar garrison, but i will say that these the risks are read so clearly that the general staff of course sees them and thinks that countermeasures will be taken, or the dynamics were not in favor of the enemy, these are the two main components of combat operations. now it is felt on the front line, then we will talk about how our combat operations, how the situation on the front line is perceived and interpreted in the world, because in fact we see that there are a number of foreign publications with different assessments, with different trends, with different estimates, and now it will help us to understand this a bit expert, we are joined by an expert from the national institute of strategic studies oleksiy izhak. mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. i congratulate you. i would like to start with these enemy terrorist attacks on our cities. can it

be said that at this stage our military political leadership has a chance or an opportunity to convince our partners to lift the ban on the use of long-range weapons. and if not, then what are these bans based on, because our viewers on... ask such simple questions, why can't we beat western weapons on russian objects, on russian targets, if russia does what it wants, using its arsenal, how can we simply explain to our viewers what exactly is happening with our partners? and to be very brief, as it is unfortunate, but our partners, sometimes we say, our allies, they do not consider that this is their personal war, ukraine does not have... direct alliance obligations, but indeed there are a number of moral obligations , in general, there are humanitarian obligations, promises, as they

are considered, according to budapest memorandum, all this forces, one might say, forces our partners to help us, but nevertheless, they do not consider this war their war, and since they do not think so, they do not go, do not go, do not try to find... on to such a risk that seems too great to them, well, too great a risk is a direct collision, well, such a situation, which can be from two sides, interpreted as a direct collision between one nuclear country and another nuclear country, well, they are trying to avoid, but this field is wide and gray, that's where it can be considered that there is a collision, where there is none, that it is possible, that... it is not possible, that is why the process is going on, if we talk about whether the permissions will be expanded, i believe that the expansions will be quick, but not

as drastic as we think , but not at one stage, that is , the situation will be the same as with kharkiv, but the permission will not be the same, perhaps as we now expect, i do not rule out that even during the visit, during this session of the un general assembly , assemblies, there might be... something announced, but it might not be that big universal permission, and something so specific about specific goals, that is, well, this process is going on and judging by how western politicians react, like joseph biden personally, what he pays attention to, he paid attention to poltava, this means that he is being informed certain decisions and perhaps his hand will sign a certain directive regarding another permit. there was a kharkiv permit, maybe there will be a sumy permit, a poltava permit, something like that will surely happen, if we talk about a universal, universal permit, well, you have to

work with it, it is, unfortunately... difficult, oleksiy, more the issue of air defense systems in poland being used to shoot down russian missiles, as i understand it, this position fully corresponds to the theses that you said earlier, the polish side, as a member of nato, does not want to interfere in this war in such a direct way, and therefore just the hopes of our politicians to put pressure on polish partners, i think, will be fruitless, that's how we can conclude. well, if you listen to what the minister of foreign affairs of poland is saying, well , there is such an accent that, that this can happen, that is, i think that in the polish leadership now, perhaps, these are even such party discussions, different parts of the political spectrum are discussing this issue, in principle, i do not rule out that it is possible, this is the idea that is being discussed within the framework of a european, more...

such an integrated european anti-aircraft system of defense, that in the zone of action of this defense in depth, well, at a distance from the borders of nato in the direction of ukraine, that there may be certain actions, i think, this may be, roughly like the kharkiv permission of the united states, he says that if a russian plane with a scab openly flies in side of ukraine and is approaching the border, it can be shot down, it cannot be shot down at the airfield, but i do not rule out that something like this could happen, it is being discussed, but it has not yet been accepted, i just want to say that i think it is possible here a certain decision, again it will not be cardinal for us, such that we will defend lviv, maybe not, but something similar to the kharkiv resolution may be. oleksiy, then, in this context, of course, the question about the f-16, because we understand that these aircraft can

perform anti-aircraft functions. defense, now we know that the planes will come to us, but the issue with personnel, with maintenance, with pilots, the biden administration said that it is against civilian contractors operating in ukraine and servicing the f-16s, let the europeans do it , but everything is equal, surely there are some ways, directions where the potential of european countries or america can be used. so that our potential with the f-16 was much broader, and did not rely only on the number of pilots that we would independently train as part of our air forces, or are there any versions, what are the legal restrictions and possibilities? well, i think, if all the circumstances that exist here are put together, brothers , the fact is that sometimes it seems that this is mercenary, that there are some special threats.

precisely in connection with the fact that, well, i will say that in order to recognize a person as a mercenary, there are a lot of criteria, there are five, 6, 7 of these criteria, it is not so simple, and here after all the main thing is that russia considers all foreigners who come to them in any form as its hostages, and here the main criterion is the safety of those people, foreigners who can service and fly on these planes, and such a vision. it 's within the framework of what i'm saying, it's all based on a very old, old idea of ​​the united states, that they don't need to get involved in other people's wars, and that's the main thing, as it happens, they shouldn't, they don't , that there should not be troops there, and the americans should not, the americans do not have, cannot , without direct sanction, take part in foreign wars, otherwise it drags the state down.
