even despite the position of the italians, they are not, so to speak, in opposition to this country, and we understand, i think that allowing the use of italian weapons on the territory of ukraine is already a big post, yes, be that as it may, we need more weapons here as well, if you consider that the main military actions are taking place here, so this is an absolutely obvious thing, and if we are still talking about... italy, then we can also, i think, then about france talk, yes, if we talk about what's going on about the coalition talks, then in france, these coalition perepetias are also taking place, and these coalition perepetias are not in favor of the winners, yes, although the winners in principle, as such, are not like that, and there are no clear winners in the aftermath. elections to

the french parliament, and in the end we are watching a stolen victory, at least this is what the french left claims, they are calling for protests, again france and protests, this is the equal sign, here we can ask why this happened, and because the president of france emmanuel macron appointed a new prime minister of the country, and her. led the 70-year 73-year-old michel barnier, the oldest, oldest prime minister in history, er, michel barnier himself is a former european commissioner, minister, senator, republican, supporter of liberal economics and a strong and influential european union, and mr. michel cannot to be called such a leftist, so to speak, it is not possible, it is not possible to call it, and therefore

, of course, a situation arises that after her parliamentary elections, early parliamentary elections, in which the rightists from the marie le pen party could have won, the left won, and the winner was as a matter of fact for now you can call macron. well, again, this is a very risky game, but look at what macron is doing in the elections to the european parliament. the far-right wins, they occupy an absolutely unprecedented number of french seats in the european parliament. macron dissolves the national assembly of france, appoints early parliamentary elections, there is no need for this. parliament could continue to work quietly. and he is holding these elections under the slogan "stop the far right." and people who want to stop the far-right in the second round of parliamentary voting, they vote for the candidates of macron's party and for the left, for the socialists and for.

representatives of the party of recalcitrant france, who simply remove their candidates from the second round of the election so that one anti-ultra-right candidate, anti-ultra-right candidate, will win, such solidarity, and thanks to this solidarity, the left and macron's party become the winners of this election, in the first place the left front, the popular front, in second place is the macron party, in third place only... the position of prime minister, but the prime minister in obviously the left believes that it is now up to france to appoint the president, the only thing parliament can do is to pass a vote of no confidence in michel barnier, his government, but now the question arises, of course the left would like to do this because they feel they have been cheated, but if the party... which is far-right

and barnier, he is a moderate conservative, it expresses no confidence in barnier's government, then obviously the next prime minister of france will be a left-wing politician, no need to explain, then macron will be forced to appoint a left-wing politician, and no marin le pen will not be able to express a vote of no confidence in his government, because the leftists and macronists will support him in the parliament, this government, so marine le pen is much better. to be neutral towards this government in order to prevent the left from coming to power, that is, first with the left against the far right, and now with the support of the far right against the left, ugh, but here a new question arises, how justified are the actions of prime minister president macron in general ? for the reason that, as you remember, in

macron's political program after the elections to the european parliament to stop the far-right, this was the main message, and they were thus demonized in the eyes. of french public opinion, and if the president is going to rely on them now for the stability of his government that he appointed, then maybe marine lipin is not as terrible as she is portrayed, so i say again that this is a game with a large amount of money at stake, because, on the one hand , macron will really manage to run the country more or less comfortably until the end of his term, again, if this government lasts, we don't... know yet what there will be a collaboration between michel barnier and emmanuel macron, you see, the previous prime ministers of france owed their political careers to the president, he appointed people who without him would never have become what they became, in the case of

michel barnier is in a completely different situation, his political career is in no way connected with emmanuel macron, moreover, it was believed that he could even become the next president of france, if... the republicans, say, voted for him, and not for let's say, those candidates who at one time ran for their party for the position of the president of france, after the term of francois hollande ended, ugh, ugh, not for fillon, not for sarkozy, but for a figure like barnier, barnier could have been elected president of the french republic, of course this will never happen , although again politics is such a thing it is never possible to say, now barneys are called french. well, yes, biden can become the president at the age of 77, as we know, joke jokes, but this is definitely a person who will not be dependent on the president, who can consider the president his political son, and not his political mentor, because compared to the prime minister, macron is a young

man, and in this situation we also do not know how it will happen, but in any case it is clear that it will be the government that will continue the policy macron, at least in terms of... the situation with the help of ukraine and the fact that, by the way, before the reinstein summit we talked about, macron spoke with zelensky, this was also such a telling signal of the continuity of this policy. and in general, if we talk about this appointment politically, we understand that the left, well, if they didn't lose, at least they lost tactically now, because they expected their candidate to be... the prime minister, the right, of course, lost because they lost, but it's clear that this opens a new stage of political struggle in france, there will be protests, there will be, there is no need here, there is no need to doubt, but i am told that

they have already started today, and these protests, well , it is normal, but macron lives with these protests, how long is it normal for france and it is not only macron who lives by it, but all of him predecessors and all his successors will live, and with this, after all, who can ultimately emerge victorious in this after such a bow, after such a development of events, the right or the left? the winner so far is macron, who will be the winner, it will already be clear after the presidential election, but when will it be held in france after this term of macron? presidential elections, and we will know the name of the winners, that's when we will say whether macron's policy was correct. if the result of this policy is the election of a centrist candidate as the new president of france, then we will say that macron performed all this balancing act absolutely appropriately, that he

succeeded in this way through complex, i would say, methods and very often at the cost of losing some kind of political reputation. to do everything possible in order to keep his legacy and bring to the position of the president of france a person who is his political heir, if a person of left or right political orientation is chosen as a candidate for the memory of the president of france, we will say that it is or ultra-right, yes it could also be that macron paved the way to the presidential palace. or some other person, and here one thing must be understood: there may be no spanish, no far-left and no far-right candidate, there may be a completely different turn of events, whether macron himself is the heir to whose legacy, nobody's,

because he a centrist, he is a centrist, but by and large those republicans whose representative was michel barnier were also considered centrists before macron, there was simply no such political force that was, let’s say, more moderate than the republicans the fifth republic, and the socialists, who were also considered left-centered, actually shrunk to imperceptible proportions during the term of office. frenchman hollande, we must remember that the predecessors of mnemelie macron as president of france were a socialist president, and before him there was a republican president, a golist, one and the other, and only these two forces replaced each other at the head of the fifth the republics, or the republicans or there parties that were before the republicans, the so-called golists, or the socialists, now both. these forces are not play a leading role in their political spectrum, such as michel barnier, they still

remember the days when the republicans were the main political force in france, now they have several seats in the parliament, moreover, they are divided because part of their party decided to support marine lippin, the main the force on the right wing is not the republicans, marine le pen's national union, on the left the socialists are not the main party of the left coalition, the main party of the left coalition is... rebellious france, the far left force and luc melenchon, and the socialists can to equal its influence to the communists, who in general would seem to have been completely marginalized in recent decades, once when the socialist françois mitterrand was first elected president of france, and he invited the communists to participate in his first government, it seemed just a political sensation, because the weight of the communists did not correspond to their governmental capabilities, even then in france, but they were negligent. more party than now, and as a result we have a completely different situation, as you understand, a situation that is completely different from

this situation we are in now, and the end of emmanuel macron's term can be quite clearly linked to the fact that something else will emerge, someone else who will mark a completely new political trend, because all these forces that those who rule france today or are in the opposition can compromise themselves completely. from the point of view of political opportunities, it may also be that we continue to move around europe, because in fact very interesting, possibly dramatic processes are taking place in europe today, and from france we are moving to germany, germany, germany, once again germany, it is the state of the current week. in the focus of observers, in the focus of politicians, why?

because the previous sunday, elections were held for two federal states of this state, these are federal states, which are mostly located in the east of the state, in the center of the state, these are the states that were part of the gdr, and... according to the results of these elections, we saw that we won or the far-right from the political party af (alternative for germany), but in addition to this , another political force appeared, it called alliance sahra wagenkt, and it scored 12.2 and 15.7%, respectively in saxony and thuringia, if you remember. elections were held in these two federal states, if

we talk about the results of the alternative for germany, then in saxony the christian democrats and the alternative for germany actually got almost the same result, well, the cdu is a little more, the cdu is a little more there, but if we talk about the distribution of mandates, there they have one or two months more, that is, about 32% each. er votes, yes, if we talk about thuringia, then there the alternative for germany got about 33% of the vote, yes, that is 10% more than it was in 2019, the christian democrats got almost 24%, and the coalition, the german coalition is a typical coalition today, the social democrats, the greens, got just a devastating result, yes, the free democrats did not pass at all, the free

democrats did not pass at all, and this is the trend, it is in both federal states, and as an alternative for germany, and this alliance is new, it is such an absolutely incomprehensible ideological political force, someone calls her left, and ultra-left as a party luncheon in france, they call it populist, yes. er, in fact, they won half of the votes in both federal lands, so if there are approximately 48 48, well, let's say that within the limits, if we talk about political forces that did not... did not pass, then we are talking about half. what does this indicate, mr. vitaly, whether it will affect the position of the central government, the federal government, and the main question. next year, in 2025, another

election will be held in germany, a nationwide election. and actually this result is very much yes worried and many people both in germany and in europe consider it to be a prelude to possible changes, to the possible growth of both right-wing populists and left-wing populists, well, first of all, it should be said that there is no need to worry so much here, because these are the elections in eastern germany, yes in eastern germany, the mood of the voters differs from the mood of the voters in the west traditionally, despite the fact that... three decades of german unity have already passed, there is no political unity, and of course the mood of the voters in the west lands, they will differ from the mood of the voters in the eastern ones, we will see it soon. as for the success of sara vgnekht and the alliance there, it was also predicted, because sara vgnekht takes a large number

of votes from the left, from the left, and by the way, in saxony federal. the government was headed by christian democrats, and by the way, the head of this government opposed aid to ukraine, because it was mi- mikhail krejchmar, because it was the general line in this land, in turing, where now the alternativeists won with such a result, government led by the left, there was a prime minister, bode ramelov, one of the leaders of the left party, and by the way, all the sociological... polls in thuringia on the eve of the elections, they showed that the majority of people there wanted to see ramelov as the next prime minister of this federal land, only this did not coincide with their attitude towards the left party itself, they liked ramelov and liked the sarevek alliance, this is also important, and nothing particularly increased there from

the point of view of the left force, because the left simply lost everything, well sarah wegehnechta, who was one of the leaders of the left party earlier. was a more popular politician than the left party itself, if boda romelov had created his list in turing, maybe he would have won the elections, that’s how to know, but the anxiety is what, what is there at all, that the fragmentation of the german political life, you named these parties, of which 48%, one of which is ultra-right, has stalinist views, but there is something that unites them, migration policy against nato, against the eu, and against ukraine and for russia, and for russia, against no one, when president zelensky spoke at the bundestazis, the deputies from both of these parties, they left the bundestag meeting hall, that is

, they are people of seemingly opposite political views, they are never going to get together... to block each other, huh, but they are actually ready to support the same principled positions, this is dangerous moment, second moment, the party alternative for germany remains, even after these elections, politically not shaking hands in the whole of germany, including in saxony and züreng, and the christian democratic union, which is supposed to form a government, it cannot form a government with this party, therefore... the fate of this government, it remains a big question, but it is unknown, at the same time, the christian democrats do not consider the sarevny party such a dangerous party, huh, that is, in principle , on the ground level, they are ready to negotiate with it, and this means that these demands put forward by sarah wegehneh can be

implemented at least at the land level, by the way, you said that there was no russia, in... there was a clear pre-election program that concerned ukraine. the question is to stop aid to ukraine and start a diplomatic one the resolution of the conflict was the central issue of the election campaign in saxony tsering. and now the central issue of the pre-election campaign in the federal land of brondenburg, where the elections to lontagu will also be held in the wrong place. and sarah wagehnecht says that her main coalition language is not giving. aid to ukraine, that it will negotiate only with those parties that support this demand. mr. vitaly, why such a principled position? in fact, it would seem that this is not something that... should bother the average citizen germany, this is a war, and here we see such a principled position, there are some russian handles here,

or is this just her personal position, no, this is a war, well, of course, russia influences her, she always wanted to have good relations with russia, but german voter, especially in the eastern lands, he believes that germany spends money on someone else's war, which can come one way or another to him, at least in the financial sense of the word, that all the deterioration of life. the standard of living in germany, it is connected with the war, and the tsaravakhneh, she wants peace, well, you know that, as it has always been, do you remember how at one time the soviet union organized a peace movement in west germany against the pershings, while placing missiles on the territory of east germany, and when they asked these fighters for peace, and why no one tells east germany that there should be no missiles, and they didn't answer anything, they were fighting american missiles, not soviet missiles, so i think that position is absolutely obvious. tsar gehnekh believes that the west is to blame for this war, because the west did not provide russia with guarantees security, because the west drags ukraine into

nato, and nato threatens russia. we know all this roach. but the question is not that we know it. and the question is that imagine a new german parliament in which the christian democrats will be the winners, i assure you, it is logical. that is, in which the social democrats will not be at the level at which they were before. there may be greens not at the same level, uh uh, there may not be free democrats, there will be a large alt- for-germany faction that no one wants to be with matter, and there will be an alliance, tsarevgekhneh, and imagine another big coalition, well, but there may be a repetition of the coalition of the gsd plus the social democrats, they may not have enough seats, i tell you again, the social democrats may not have enough seats, but maybe read, i.e. we, if there will still be a ksd plus the social democrats, which is a traditional merkel coalition, then i will repeat one thing, this is an option, but

there may not be an option, because the social democrats fail in the opposition, i want to remind you that in the previous elections the social democrats performed worse than when they are in power only because this situation has developed quite well for the three parties, and that people are tired of the cdu, in general, they were the winners of the elections. cdu social democracy. they became the real winners of the elections. that is, in your opinion, this new alliance, perhaps, can become a new member of the coalition. and i think it will happen, it's absolutely real. and there is another important point, there were two people's parties in germany. social democrats and christian democrats. these are the election results in saxony and thuringia, and the same will happen in brandenburg, i think. they can show an important thing that the social democrats are no longer a people's party, germany can now have two other people's parties, the christian democrats in the east and the alternative, ugh, in the west

only the christian democrats, and maybe the alliance, and maybe the alliance will eat the social -democrats even the same ones, this is essentially their political field, not quite, it is still the political field of the left, the left is the heir of the socialist unified party of germany, this party that ruled the gdr. they all come from these bodies but this is a very dangerous moment precisely from the point of view of our interests and european interests, these people, they are eurosceptic, these people, they are connected to moscow, these people, they are absolutely demagogic when it comes to politics, in the end they go to the russian embassies, the leaders of the alternative for germany, as you know, go to the russian embassy in berlin, and the leftists also go to the ultra-left, and i want to remind you of one more important thing. the thing is, if we are already talking about europe, the alternative for germany party did not find a place in any of the factions the european parliament, which represents the ultra-right political forces, george melanie did not

accept them and viktor orbán and marine le pen did not accept them, that is, even for viktor orbán, who seems to us to be so obviously pro-putin, for him the alternative is a tomatch, he does not want to have any common future with her, that is. this is a completely different spectrum of political life, and we will now see how sara wegehnech's position will look in german political life, now that she has already shown that she can have a serious the result of the land elections. the verdict from rudenkom, from now on in a new, two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests, foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front,

society. and also feedback, you can express your opinion on a bad day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhii rudenko, from tuesday to friday from 20 to 22. vasyl zima's big broadcast, two hours of air time, two hours of your time, two hours to find out about the war, and how the world lives, two hours to keep up with economic and sports news. hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become like family to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for intelligent and caring people, in the evening at espresso.

glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the west program , we will organize the most important events of this week, we will include the most competent and informed experts in our broadcast, of course, the key events of this week - these are major reshuffles in kamin and the situation at the front, but in addition, we will also analyze the international so-called security dimensions. today's guests of zahid studio are oleg hrybachuk and glen grant. a retired colonel of the british army, a well-known military expert, will be on the air of the espresso tv channel. we understand that there are extremely many events and all of them are extremely important, but we understand that the situation in the pokrov direction requires additional attention, so we understand that the enemy has made this a general direction for himself, although finally the directions of the great russian-ukrainian war, in particular in donbas, did not become easier,

that is... it feels like the enemy has thrown all its available resources in order to breach our defense. it is quite clear that russia will continue to advance in the east of ukraine, and for now there is no stopping it. however, what is really important is that we, for our part, must maintain a coherent line of defense. it is absolutely impossible to allow the formation of boilers. by the way, one of them is now forming in the zoryanyi area, that is, we have to be very careful and contain it. front line of what more direct because it allows us to deploy fewer troops directly at the forward positions, once the line of contact is distorted by large areas moving back and forth, more troops will need to be deployed to counter the russians, so we must keep the front line as straight as possible, even if it will mean the loss of several forces with the priority of preserving our personnel. the problem in the east right now is that we don't

have a... long-term vision of how to make the military focus on the area they protect? armies fight best when they own specific territory. if you look at last year, when a particular brigade was responsible for its section, it fought well and held its positions. however, as soon as they started to roll over, they have to study the terrain anew. so it is worth remembering that tactics and terrain are not separate. tactics directly depend on knowledge of the terrain, and if the soldiers are not familiar with it, you should not hope for significant success. it is extremely important that the troops remain where they are, reinforced and fortified in their present positions. unfortunately, we don't, we move them back and forth like horses on a chess board, and that's not good, every time they are moved they have to master new

terrain, adapting. his tactics, because fighting in the field is not the same as fighting in the forest. the focus must be on establishing stability in the east, and that certainly means creating divisional headquarters. currently, the main headquarters are too far away and do not have proper communication with what is happening on places the generals in the corps headquarters simply cannot effectively direct the battle because they are too far away, they are not aware of what is really happening on the battlefield. small infantry groups are reinforced in large numbers by artillery fire, air defense systems and so on, plus aviation, and we understand that in principle the enemy has prepared resources for this, at one time it was assumed that the enemy would try to strengthen two main directorates, that is, for example, pokrovsky direction and north, in particular, when we talk about the kharkiv region, but i have a personal one feelings, i don't have the right...
