the russians did this, they did not pretend to be brigades, because they had to, if they were given tasks to perform tasks, including on the eastern front, and they transferred battalions, and they gathered up to 50 different battalions there, and there were problems that they barely overcame now the formation of the management system of these groups, which has now grown to about 45 thousand, this was the second and third - the formation of the zone that... the buffer, putin single-handedly formed zones in kharkiv oblast from may to the present time, advanced 10 km further our defenders don't let them in, there was a group of 35,000, and we had 1,500 in kurshchyna, they went 35-40 km along the front to 40, captured 1,300 km, an exchange fund for 600, and so on, that is, it was formed and continues.

then the fight for this buffer zone, now with regard to further actions, of course, the goal in my opinion now is to hold this zone, because ushchyna and suzhe in particular, it was such a russian military hub that they used for actions, where forces, means were concentrated on the kharkiv direction, the sumy direction, and therefore, since we are currently holding this region, there is no such possibility for them, and we see confirmation of additional use of funds, that in fact, every day , shaheds are striking and flying from under kursk, that is , it is absolutely necessary to influence these circumstances, but after they recruited a group of troops, well, the estimates were, let's say from 30-40 thousand, they will already be able to stop the patients of western specialists there, which actually they

did, they stopped the further significant advance in the directions of the defense forces of ukraine, and went into a counter-offensive in four directions, two of north, one from the west, one from the south-east direction, and it was possible to regain control of up to ten settlements, especially for them it is important - it is the speed and direction of the ljubimirku. the east, and what about in some directions, and it is important that they broke through the land corridor to the group, which they had there 2-3, limited by the seven rivers and our troops, which means that since seven bridges were broken, the pontoon crossings were broken by the defense forces , then it is essential to break through this corridor to ensure logistics, they have already done it, but for this... ours

the defense force responded asymmetrically, crossed the borders again and struck the hlushkov district, that is exactly where this corridor is and the snagosti district, and now there are battles, especially in the hlushkov district, in order to cut this russian corridor again, in addition , in addition, it means, well, they go to some. in other directions, i.e. the defense forces of ukraine at the present time, in my opinion, have come to an active mobile defense, active, which is emphasized by the fact that for the second time they struck with the crossing of the borders in the direction of lushkovo and the direction of snagosta, well, and they are leading on some certain issues are defensive actions, and some, therefore, are eliminated. go ahead, this kind of fighting

is going on there now. obviously, mr. general, our prospects at the front, both in the korsk region, and in the donetsk region, and in the kharkiv region, will depend, including on the weapons that we will produce ourselves, since there is still no permission from our western partners regarding the strikes of their of weapons on the territory of the russian federation, president zelensky announced that... only in the first half of this year, ukraine produced 25 times more ammunition for artillery and mortars, than the production of other types of weapons increased over the entire 22nd year. let's listen to what the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine said. ah, the total number of drones that we are now able to produce annually in ukraine is 4 million and already more than 15 million. interpreted, we are already using a completely

new class of ukrainian weapons, the long-range drone-clearing missile, other types of our long-range... drones are also working, naval drones are working for the defense of ukraine, our new ballistic missile has successfully passed flight tests, everyone can see how our neptunes also work. well, prime minister of ukraine denys shmehal has his own figures and statistics, he says that by the end of the year, ukraine will produce 1.5 million drones, he announced this during the government meeting. let's listen to the head of the government, another direction of support for our army is to increase the number of weapons and equipment that the defenders of ukraine have. every day, we work with partners to increase the supply of weapons and strengthen the development of our own

defense and industrial complex. in 2023 , the production of weapons in ukraine tripled. every second ammunition in the war zone is ukrainian. by the end of the year, we will produce 1.5 million drones, we not only produce drones, but also train personnel to manage them. mr. general, how do you assess the pace announced by zelenskyi and shmyhal, it is obviously not enough, and it will obviously take several years for ukraine to increase the production of its own weapons, what do you say about it? unfortunately, we see how the shortcomings that previously existed in the construction of the cartridge factory, the construction there the plant that was supposed to produce projectiles and all this was postponed, well, we see the consequences of this, and now in such a fire scenario

we are trying to resolve this situation and we see that there are difficulties due to the fact that with the help of our allies. what else, where some people are fueling these processes, in general, all this is not easy, and we definitely need to focus primarily on the production of our enterprises, the averno-industrial complex, there are, as we can see, shifts in these processes, but definitely it's really not enough fundamental question about ammunition, we try. to replace them as much as we can with shock unmanned aerial vehicles, but artillery will not be replaced, the current time, the power is different, let’s say, well, even before that, that is, unmanned aerial vehicles, artillery,

barrel artillery, close-range fire systems, we still need to add missiles, missile weapons, which in we are also progressing, but also in our own way at one time it was slowed down. of the general staff introduced the savsan or grom-2 program, the first stage was done, and then all this, the russian agency, which we have, which was also in the leadership, who have golemized the country , financed and so on, now it is very difficult to catch up with this situation, but the direct missiles have passed the tests and are moving forward, well, next to the direction, neptune , we see that already... not only the first option, the shore, the ship, and as it was in relation to the moscow cruiser, but also with a longer range, the now improved neptune is also a missile complex, land is land, that is, there is progress, our minister of defense

says that by the end of the year there will be information about the development of the missile program, well, yes, it is shown in you on these. what is more important, of course, is not just information about it, but to directly see the use of this weapon, which is very necessary for the defense forces of ukraine, which is being pressed here. thank you, mr. general, for the conversation, it was ihor romanenko, the founder of the charity fund we will close the sky of ukraine, lieutenant general, former deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. friends, we continue our work live . tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who now watch us live, there, subscribe to our pages, take part in our survey. today we ask you about the following: do you think presidential elections in the 25th year are possible, yes, no, please vote

on youtube with the appropriate buttons, if you have your own opinion, a separate opinion, please write it in the comments below this video, we always read your comments and... it is important for us to know your opinion. if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote for the numbers. if you do you think it is possible to hold presidential elections next year. 0800 211 381 no 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. next , we have volodymyr tsybulko, political analyst, writer and people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. volodymyr, what do you think about this topic? which is dispersed by the british troops about the possibility of holding elections in 2025

, referring to your sources and referring to the fact that certain potential candidates are already starting to assemble some of their back offices and campaign companies? well , first of all, it was allegedly officially announced that the verification of the voter list had begun, which means that... that the first stages of preparation for the elections have indeed begun, and now the question is under what system these elections can be held, because in fact we have a huge territory, in which holding elections is simply impossible, even if it is controlled by ukraine, then these the territories are shelled, even if the war is stopped, well, the functioning of the local authorities in these territories will be, i would say, very traumatized, that is, it is unlikely that

a certain number of people will return to these territories, especially those who suffered from the fighting, that is, well, the line of demarcation, even if the war is stopped, then most likely elections are possible under the conditions of adhok. legislative changes, firstly, secondly, by the good will of all election participants, because the results of these elections must be recognized by all participants, er, the most important thing is how to prevent falsifications, because now there is a very clear feeling that the bank is preparing falsifications for the next election, whether it will be... it will be an option through protocols, whether it will be an option through electronic voting, i do not

rule out that adhoc, they can hack, so say, certain unwritten rules, conservative rules of the electoral system and introduce the idea of ​​electronic voting, and under this electronic voting, especially according to the russian model, you can falsify as much as you want. but it is easy to challenge these results and verify these results it will be impossible, only to accept the result that the government will show to the society, but so far there are no official comments and no definite statements regarding the possibility of such elections, of course it will all depend on how our western partners perceive the plan for the victory of ukraine, or will it be implemented? in the short term, not the long term. andriy yermak, the head of the office of the president of ukraine, after

the end of his visit to the united states of america, stated that this peace plan, except for some parts that apply there, any secret information will be presented to the ukrainians, what did you want to see in this plan of victory and what is there. should be, maybe, maybe they advised the authorities to supplement this victory plan with some specific points, because in principle only one point is known for sure, which was publicly stated by the same fair, that ukraine wants the united states of america, and announced that ukraine will be in nato, and ukraine could receive an invitation from the alliance, well, this... this is such a point, which essentially leads to the idea that i would like to see

it seems that the government behaves in such a way that it believes that bandits can be defeated only by being a bandit themselves, but, as you know, stalin, or rather hitler, was defeated by the democracies, stalin, not stalin, defeated hitler, the democracies defeated hitler, stalin was only an instrument of this victory without lendlease stalin would not have won anything, he had nothing to put on his shoes and to clothe his army, he had nothing to transport the red army, i am not saying that. about jet fuel and the planes themselves, but it's about something else, it's about the fact that if you want victory based on countries western ones, then you should start with the harmony of ukrainian society with western societies, i.e. the rule of law, freedom of speech, this is the key to joining the eu

and nato, and they want to join nato with an authoritarian regime, so... because that that zelenskyi and yarmak have built since the 19th year, it has very little resemblance to democracy, very little resemblance to democrats, that is, they prepared the country so that no one would ever take ukraine into any nato, and it seems to me that the current pedaling with this plan victory, which simply jumped out somewhere from behind the plan of peace on behalf of zelenskyi, and here... these two plans, somehow they do not agree at the turns of certain political collisions, political projects or political intentions, but all this eventually comes together in some kind of picture that the peace plan, or rather the plan victory from zelenskyi looks like this: we need to

bring something from the united states, okay, come on... for peace, we will rename the victory plan, we will write: give us, there are many weapons, there is a lot of money, well, it is called "dig deeper, throw further", this is such an army principle of the soviet army, so they offered a victory plan, which boils down to the commitment to throw more, and dig deeper, throw further, but give us a shovel, and in order for someone to throw this shovel, then we will continue. mobilization to the point where no one will work in the economy. against this background, mr. volodymyr, there has been information that olaf scholz is going to call putin, but it is being discussed that it is possible, that it is not possible, and it is said that it seems that he will call putin before the g20 meeting

in brazil, which should take place in november. and well here, here is the main thing question, no, no, it is not known whether the german newspaper died site was wrong or not, whether they really had an insight that something was going to ring putin, but this bell, is it not the bell that makes us understand that our western partners are still ready to conduct a dialogue with russia, if not with putin, then with russia so precisely at present, in the current state and in their current aggressive field. for their aggressive policy? well, first of all, it seems to me that this attack is caused by the state of german politics, that is, it is known that the social democrats are in the last performed very poorly in the local elections, and this is the specifics of the federal republic of germany, precisely these lands were held in the eastern

lands, the elections were more precisely held in the eastern lands and... the social democrats are not in the best position there, they have excellent positions in the good old germany, so i i wouldn't say that the social democrats feel bad at all , but still, in giving way to an alternative for germany, it is unworthy of a good old authoritative party, and in fact it seems to me that just this attack was organized... moscow in order to hint to scholz that if you start making friends with moscow, and your voter will return to you, this is such a provocation , precisely moscow's, because from the point of view of the interest of germany, any contact with putin does not bring good to any political forces, well

, except for an alternative for germany, even such a new star of german politics. which created its own left-wing party, it now disowns itself from any contacts with putin, that is, this attack, it seems to me that it was a countermeasure to the fact that even sarwagen knecht does not see an ally or partner in putin's russia. obviously, this whole story is by scholz, it is also connected with the future meeting, the four-sided meeting. great britain, germany, france, and the united states of america, because literally in a few days this meeting will take place in germany, and it is obvious there. this four will decide the future of ukraine in terms of the use of long-range weapons of the western countries, yesterday mark rutte became the new

secretary general of nato, he was the prime minister of the netherlands, he spoke for allowing ukraine to strike on the territory of the russian federation, while at the same time admitting that these should be the decisions of individual countries. let's hear what mr. rutte said. let's not forget that ukraine is waging a war in self-defense, which means that ukraine has the right to defend itself, and as we know, according to international law, this right does not end at the border. therefore, supporting ukraine's right to self-defense means an opportunity for it to strike illegal targets on the territory of the aggressor. in the end, it is up to each member of the alliance to determine. this is a question for the members of the alliance and their relations with ukraine. more precisely, mr.

volodymyr, i would clarify, it is decided by the level of relations with russia of these countries, that is, because they support ukraine, it is not me who decides, they are afraid that russia will respond, what do you say to what ryute said, of course , he is a functionary, general secretary. nato, but there are countries that decide it. why are these countries afraid to give us permission to use their weapons on the territory of the russian federation? well, a number of countries are just hanging on, so to speak, with this decision, because it is the internal opposition, which immediately starts such, well, tough protest actions, well, at least at the level of rhetoric, and then to the readiness to take people to the streets. such a picture. by the way, it is clearly recorded in the united states, only somewhere biden, well, only zelensky appeals to biden for permission to attack russia, as trump

immediately shouts that biden wants to start the third world war. the same thing happens in other countries, in particular european ones, so as we remember, the gas lobby is russian, it has penetrated deeply into european politics, and even the country. who got rid of russian gas dependence, these relapses of the gas lobby are still spewing, well, we can say that the same publication about scholz and the intention to call putin is also from this order, as for the permission to strike on the territory of russia and the change in nato policy, i have this feeling , that the united states is quietly preparing for... is preparing for the europeanization of nato, that is, for a long time, american experts have been talking about the fact that europe is self-sufficient, europe can, well

, keep order here with the forces of its troops, and the united states should switch to the pacific theater of war, and i have a feeling that it is really the pacific ocean. called the most promising economic zone of the 21st century, that is, there is china, there is the united states, japan, australia, volodymyr, we must conclude, if possible briefly, and therefore, therefore, it seems to me that the question will be not only about permission, but also about for nato to become a european structure, and that is why ukraine really needs such a person, thank you, thank you, mr. volodymyr, it was volodymyr tsibulko, a political... expert, friends, we will now look at the intermediate the results of our poll, today we ask you if you think a presidential election in 25 is possible, so what are our midterm tv
