well, i doubt that there will be someone with a sapper shovel going to try the sides of the american abrams wellver tries it is unlikely to tell about his experience well, it won’t work out, and this is something i wanted to say in the end . i already wanted to say that dmitry medvedev, the former russian president, is less active than yesterday was it difficult or today is a difficult morning, but the end of the week, a person may have summed up the week in some way, do you understand the worker well, actually he said that in fact all this aid to ukraine ukrainian successes have no meaning because in the end everything will be anyway everything will go to waste threatening with nuclear weapons again it should be taken seriously. and i will give a better example : ordinary citizens in the occupied crimea also became active. and for example, recently they covered lenin with red paint, where they opened a criminal case immediately, all because they said it was, well, terrible a crime against their statehood was written there the same as how our ukrainians call both putin and medvedev, that is, the

and if you give us the american abrams, well, as it were, bashbabash, to which the americans said, well in fact, the schols said, first you give it to ukraine, uh, because, of course, germany does not want to be the first, uh, whoever puts tanks on ukraine still lacked them. yes , act as a flagship. at work. just because the poles, the poles have already said that they will give the same leopards, but again they cannot give these leopards if they give in germany the situation here is quite difficult. meanwhile, the situation for the ukrainian armed forces is deteriorating. e. more often acted as a military expert with us and now he is a war correspondent, therefore, we will consider him a front-line military expert. uh, ivan pavlovich good evening. good evening. what is the news today from the fronts of the special military operation? how's your expert take on what you've seen on the front? well, you know, firstly, i can only talk about the direction, for example, avdiivka ugoldar. uh, i mean, what concerns the donetsk direction, marinka is everywhere, but it is noted. hmm, not fast, bu

that is, there are american weapons there, these abrams are there, they were used in afghanistan. welln't think that our military specialists are worse than the military from iraq. therefore, it is obvious that these difficult negotiations are going on and where is this? it is difficult to say, that is, how is the solution to be solved, or will the weapons go? and who will receive compensation for these weapons, but in general, i do not see objective reasons why we do not can we receive additional challenges or, for example , why can't we get at least a symbolic number of abrams together? alone please a minute p serhiu well, then, with belarus, one question, our gur informs that the instigation of the topic of the threat of attack by the belarusians is a russian ipso, that is, an informational and psychological special operation, if you think about this, please ask here, of course , our intelligence has all the complete information and although the russians and closed the adjacent border areas for training. that is, there was a transfer of equipment, but in fact all the information is

easy , today to my shame i studied the morning and the reasons why abrams are not given, well, ukrainians want abrams, supposedly americans well and the accuser, what do you say agatha and accordingly i think why don't they give you what kind of fuel there is, there's no gasoline or kerosene. we don't have such fuel at all in ukraine, and that 's why ukrainian journalists don't ask questions to experts . he asks a deputy for a short time because the bad americans should be given abrams, and it turns out that there is such a fuel that ukraine does not produce at all, they simply do not produce , therefore, in addition to one abrams, we need another ton of this fuel for refueling - for refueling, because this is the war that he will go to go then the fuel is finished 100 everything is the end the end of the attack you need to have that context constantly try everything i am done with it because i would like to start talking i will start talking about journalism and i will finish in a year already the victory will be celebrated for the ukrainian i will say everything when you personally celebrated christmas on december 25 or

have one question about tanks , the washington post today wrote about the fact that well, first of all, the american abramswill be delivered no earlier than the end of the 23rd year, and secondly, it was reported that kiev will be given a modern modification of this tank but they will not be removed from the us military stockpiles. they will be purchased separately and will be built without any secret armor. can you explain what the difference is? what does this mean? so, all that has been announced is the version of the m1a2 tank, but here you need to understand that it is just a branch, there are two branches. abrams m1a1 and m-12 is the difference well, for example, it 1 * 2, it first appeared in 92 , that is, it is fresher than the m1a1, but these two branches of tanks underwent separate modernizations. and , for example, the m1 a1 was modernized, well, the last times in 2000 in 2020 according to the principle of the m1a2, which was announced, it also underwent many modernizations, so it is difficult to say that any of them will be more modern , but it is known that these tanks will be supplied under t

abrams now. there are a lot of them , you know. well, let’s say so, zradophiles. well, if the americans wanted to, they would give us abrams. very briefly. abrams is a high-tech tank, but the shoulder of its repair is the united states, that is, the equipment that it breaks down, it will have to be transported to america, and such a logistical shoulder is quite long in terms of time and, accordingly, it is unprofitable. problem well, for an example, so that it would be clearer for the audience. we remember how russian t-80s were captured on the battlefield, mainly because they ran out of fuel, the russians threw it. well, of course, they threw it and just hit it. but there were such cases, yes here is a gas turbine two-engine that works, well, not on solar power, you understand. and abrams is just a little not for us. not for our current conditions, why do we need leopards, because first of all, the shoulder is the logistical shoulder of spare parts and major repairs if it will have to be very close to bo it is possible to solve all the issues in poland , and it is much faster than sending a tank to america by ship for repa

in particular, scholls says that he will supply leopard tanks if americans will supply abrams. well, and so on. here. uh, it seems to be like now, uh, there is a meeting of rammstein and they are determined. how many tanks or something else to send to ukraine, and so on, how would you comment on all this. why is there such a, seemingly, on the one hand, the desire of the european to supply these weapons, and on the other hand. it feels like they're kind of, uh, afraid of each other, no matter what happens. and you are right, all this is present in the current situation, e.g. around ukraine and that conflict, which continues there, but really one gets the impression that, but everyone is trying. uh, hide behind someone else. here, uh, the germans are trying to hide behind the americans, if malta is not supplied with abrams, then we will not supply other countries with leopards. they say we will put our leopards. only if there is the consent of berlin, which, by the way, is formally required, since. uh, we are talking about the end user certificate, so to speak. these are the internat

able to help the ukrainian army in the spring and summer on the delivery of american abrams tanks will take many more months. wellhat's wrong and what. and if something is really wrong, we received many answers from the pentagon, and they say that the united states simply does not have abrams tanks in its arsenal at the moment modifications of the m1a2 to send them to ukraine and therefore it takes time to purchase them for ukraine from the manufacturers, however , there is no mention of any delays, i.e. everything is according to plan, everything is as planned well, look, because the american military has already said just about this the m1 modification, you need to figure out what it is, because on the outside, all american abrams are all the same, but this abbreviation, this modification , just shows that it is an improved model , so yes, ukraine will receive an advanced model, it will be without secret uranium armor elements , because according to the rules, this is a secret technology, such tanks cannot be delivered outside the united states at all, but in that modification , and this is important, more mode

american uh, well, let's say, are so hyped in demand. uh, quite expensive weapon systems, such as patriot such as abrams, will face systems in real combat.least equal. as for the e-air defense systems, in general, this is not a secret, and the americans admit that our system is actually a little better, the same, by the way, and tanks. i believe that our t-90s are a breakthrough. it is much better than all of the above. t-90 now, uh, well, they went into service with russia in the combat zone already, uh, two batches were sent, in my opinion, 100 tanks each. i mean, uh, decent numbers are decent numbers. no, ural wagon. the plant is now, uh, in general, our eh. uh, the ural factories they work four shifts and uh, the russian military-industrial complex is gaining momentum. that is, what the west is talking about, they say that we need, uh, ischinger says that we need to restart the military-industrial complex yes , the european military-industrial complex can theoretically be restarted, but restarting requires very decent investments, and for very decent investment business, correctly all of it is a german concern that produces a leopard

give us abrams with a guarantee the fact that in the event of a breakdown or something , we will have the opportunity to take walk-ons from the americans in order to promptly restore them. wellt not to forget that the abrams this is not only such a significant force on the battlefield, it is also an important signal for the european partners of the united states that they have decided to give what is important for us to receive , nevertheless, discussions continue about how to strengthen military support and not only for ukraine, the group american senators calls on the united states and its allies to strengthen support for ukraine by providing more long-range firepower such as has not been mentioned for a long time, and such fighters such as the f-16 have become such, tell us a little more about how the initiative works. from the mouths of ukrainian politicians and diplomats, it is another matter when american senators begin the process of seriously talking and working out the field, so in fact, this position has finally moved from a dead point, and in many ways it is thanks to the fact that finally our allies have the courage and even i would say the need give us tanks the

poland it already accepts abrams, and we can simply use this european base to service abrams , as well as service americanhat, to what extent is our diplomacy already at work and diplomacy that is more probably invisible, there are certain moments connected with some of our connections, our direct connections between our military, our general staff, the pentagon, i think , and the province poland will go to this level of the deal, that is, it will hand over a battalion of the older ones who are now moving towards poland. i think that in march we will see the abrams in our country, and to sum it up , why exactly now? these two countries decided to provide tanks tanks is this is this part of some joint plan maybe there are specific plans for the offensive in the counteroffensive more precisely and specifically for this counteroffensive tanks are provided or it is i do not know there is such a version that why exactly such a number so that ukraine simply holds out and wins for a while western countries will think about how to respond further. do you have an answer to why exactly today, why exactly in such a

well, the american abrams is the most massive western the tank system has produced more than 10,000 vehiclesafrica in australia in asia in southern north america, well, as far as europe is concerned, only one european country has begun to purchase these vehicles. this is poland, so it ’s practically possible to quickly transfer abrams from european countries to ukraine. no, where can you go from your own units stationed in europe? transfer tanks, but this option is not considered, therefore, of all the available tank systems, it was germany with a leopard that was promoted. we will return to this analysis later, but for now, to biden's statements about deliveries of tanks, including. american one statement is fresh, and the other was made in march last year. the very thought that we would send offensive weapons , planes and tanks and american crews. just understand, and do not deceive yourself. it's called world war iii. i am announcing that the us is transferring 31 abrams tanks to ukraine , enough to form one ukrainian battalion. this should significantly enhance kiev's ability to protect

the german leopards will be provided to ukraine only if they hand over the american abrams to ukraine in connection with this. well, while commenting today in the white house, exactly those publications, those conversations, the spokeswoman of the administration , say jean-pierre, said that the supply of weapons to kyiv is a sovereign decision of each country, they said that the state of the world we need it ourselves, we have to make decisions regarding the allocation of weapons to kyiv. well, in this way it was clearly pointed out that it is not necessary to link the decision of the american administration there with any steps that the european government may or may not take. let's listen to how the spokeswoman of the white house is commenting, please, in the field of security from the us, the president believes that each country should make its own sovereign decisions regarding what steps they can take in terms of assistance in the field of security, how in terms of equipment they can provide to ukraine. well, we are, as you know, the largest provider of assistance in the field of security and humanitarian aid

as, for example, the catch-scholz said, well, if the americans put their obs from abrams, and we will think about leopards in ukraine, and in britain is here. eh, also some kind of e not decisiveness, or what? well, here's another second question. here's a follow-up question, yes, is there any practical sense in the supply of these tanks, for example, here in britain about leopards. they say not very uh, they're looking at some practice here. as for indecision here, i would say that there are separate statements of the former military even more than the chief of the general staff, but that we need to look, that we can talk about some weakening of the british armed forces, which, anyway, but in a difficult situation from a financial point of view. but there is more behind this. uh, wanting more money. uh, this is also in the military budget, of course. well, as for, uh, the meaning of this, then, of course, here the main thing was to set an example, uh, and how to put pressure on germany where uh, there are still hesitation before the meeting in ramstein, which will take place tomorrow

leopard tanks, which are more adaptable to our theater of hostilities, ani american abrams for which we are also expecting well, actually, these are all the questions i had for you today, we discussed the situation at the front and we hope that next week we will pick up a more detailed situation on the front line and by that time there will be much more success on the part of the ukrainian army but it was the military results of the day and serhiy zgurts and now it's time to talk about what was happening in the world the world about ukraine yuriy fizar is already with us yuriy greets you good evening good evening to you vasyl good evening to everyone who joined our of the air so today france explained why it gave ukraine small wheeled tanks, erdogan is again asking for a peacekeeper and in russia, there was a fire again about this and other things in a moment in the world about ukraine column well, but i'll start with this weapon in fact, the path to peace is therefore the western countries should make maximum efforts to give these weapons to ukraine in its fair fight against russian aggression , nato secretar

but this week, washington made it clear that the american abrams will also appear in the battle zone. wellis tank story. to the surprise of many , paris and london became the first to promise ukraine their heavy armor equipment and now kiev, as in some kind of tank supermarket, can choose the right model for itself, and almost even colors, but our partner andrey sukhanov figured out what could actually be behind all this big tank intrigue. it cost the german chancellor to give the green light to german tanks right there, the internet was flooded with videos of trains with leopards moving east along the railways and roads of europe. it is difficult to say whether this video is fresh or social media users pulled up footage from the past, but nevertheless it all looks as if the solution to the supply was long overdue and was being prepared. we will provide training in logistics, ammunition and maintenance of our tanks and enable partner countries to carry out deliveries ladies and gentlemen - this is the right decision. we 're talking about very effective weapon systems in this historic, unqu

abrams. well, now about german leopards, which seem to be the order will turn out a little earlier than the americans. olaf scholz. today , nevertheless, he removed the imbargo from the supply of such tanks to the kiev regime and, in addition, he allowed other countries that own such equipment to transfer it to ukraine in general, if berlin previously stubbornly resisted calls for further escalation, now it has given it a go, and what is the reason for the sharp change position will explain alexander khristenko ideas to give german tanks to kiev berlin instantly turned into a program coordinator for their delivery, germany is not only she will allow others to send leopards, but she herself will throw 14 pieces. will train ukrainian crews, provide repairs and logistics. the words of the chancellor and the lioness of the chancellor about the historical memory and special responsibility of germany. also , phrases were quickly forgotten and replaced, and allied obligations are necessary, which means we need to provide ukraine with battle tanks, such as leopard 2. this is the result of intensive meetings

american abrams tanks. how are people in ukraine reacting to that? but here's well, people have been welcoming these tang sir, that is the public opinion here is convinced that these towns will make a real difference. that's also what the military is saying, the ukrainian military, these tanks are in connection with what i've just talked about a possible ukrainian offensive in the spring. they will be critical because tanks are what i needed to break through the enemy lines. and these tanks that, that built in the 19 seventy's and 19 eighties. there are additional designs to battle. soviet tanks to battle the type of tanks that the russians are using. and of course, there is hope that they will have an edge over the russian tanks. and that, that will give you create more possibilities. it will depend on the speed at which they arrive and on the quantities in which they arrive, whether there will make a real difference in this war. yes, thank you so much. are correspond mathias spelling of their in keith. now a deadly cold snap is sweeping across asia, causing record

well, they will give these tanks away, and then what will they do, they have no production. e so there will be abrams. yes, well, americans they will have to launch and fill all the armies of europe with their own models. so there is hope that then the system will work, but again, you will have to pay for the europeans. yes , but nevertheless, deliveries are going on, and in large quantities. we do not even recognize, and do not recognize the inhabitants of these countries who insert weapons. here, uh, dmitry stoyanov is just the minister of defense of bulgaria made an interesting statement here. here, listen to what he said. lies through the hands, powers, to whom the edge the export of weapons to ukraine was a fact that is bad in this situation is that the bulgarian society learns this from the foreign media from the former prime minister. i personally received information that in mid-march, a western farm bought ammunition for another country , bulgaria's nato allies, and then they were delivered to the border with ukraine it would be strange to assume that ammunition was delivered to the border point just like it didn

expert on international issues, was with us in live and in direct communication well, a little about tanks , the american abrams will come to ukraine, and we have already mentioned this , us president joe biden officially announced the transfer to kyiv of the 31st main battle tank in service with the united states , he noted that despite the abrams their effectiveness is also a very difficult use of the service, respectively, in addition to the us tanks , they will train ukrainian tankers and provide eight armored vehicles to repair the evacuation , the total cost of this aid package is 400 million dollars, a political decision biden has strengthened the international alliance for military support of ukraine, about 10 countries already , even more countries of the world, have either already made a decision on the transfer of western-made tanks to ukraine or are getting close to it. literally yesterday ended and we learned that canadian defense minister anita anna announced at a briefing in the evening that canada will transfer four leopard tanks, can you remind us of the maturation stories directly of this cana

well, when ukraine will receive the american abrams tanks , for your attention. news on espresso. anzhelika sezonenko works in the studio. the occupiers continue to advance on the bakhmut , avdiyiv and novopavlov directions, on the kupyan, lyman, zaporizhzhya and kherson directions, our defenders repulsed the enemy's assault near 16 inhabited along the contact line, however, they are not left unanswered, our aviation made four strikes on areas with concentration of mozkovites, and missile and artillerymen hit two control points, two ppu positions, six areas of concentration of manpower, an ammunition depot and the enemy's radio-electronic warfare station , the enemy continues to suffer significant of casualties so the 15th city multidisciplinary hospital of the jubilee luhansk oblast delivered up to 300 mercenaries of the so-called wagner pvk because of the that most of them are carriers of such diseases as hiv, aids, syphilis, tuberculosis and pneumonia , doctors refuse to provide them with medical care, another 650 occupiers died for the motherland on ukrainian land, such libera

heavy and basic tanks for the british, french, germans, americans, such as abrams, leopard, challenger, liquor, and here are the t-72 tanks . wellit is possible that it is modernized, it is possible that it is soviet, but if we follow the american algorithm, does someone give them something modern we get what we need from the soviet union, and this is also because we can quickly layer it, we have more. well, somewhere more, somewhere less , more and more ammunition is available for this, if they are, and that's why these tanks appear quickly, and why exactly is the leopard considered optimal for for us , it is a tank that is widespread in europe. and repair that it is more suitable for performing exactly such a task, well, this does not mean that the abrance will be worse, or there is already a second one, or the liquor is the same , but these opinions mean that such approaches are very much criticized at the expense of this technique, they say that it is not very maneuverable, that they need to be manually recharged british challengers, what do you say, mr. igor, i didn't hear the question , unfortunately, there is no, they cut

well, almost at zero. and what is called the bottom line is raked up with what they have, if you say directly from the tanks, but i understand the abrams why the americans, firstly, this is an image loss. secondly, abrams is a very heavy tank. but uh, let's see what challenger two gives. it would seem that. yes, they are advertised, again they are promoted, but i remind you that in the middle east, uh, these tanks are these tanks, but in general they showed themselves not in the best way they give four challenges, four challenges, and then, and one of them in gulf war time was uh, shot down with his own tank. very bad for e black soil why? because, well, it weighs, it is 62 tons in relation to, uh, besides, the t-72b3, which is 46 tons, and accordingly it has an axle load, uh, somewhere. uh, if the challenge, uh, has 17 horsepower per ton, then our t-72s. well, again, those that ukrainians use, there are 24 horsepower per ton, respectively, in black soil it will all fail, low landing and cross-country ability. eh, that would be disgusting. well, in addition, you mentioned crimea, which for the second day in a row. e, it means that e was signified and th

as you rightly say, in poland there are american abrams tanks without that very secret armor, that is, take it, supply it, if you want, well. these are other abrams tanks - these are abrams tanks who need tanks, but we leave them. and we are now to you well, in short, it seems to me that everyone understands everything. yes, everyone understands everything, uh, scholz, uh, pretended that he also understands that his request and demand that the americans be sent was met, but it turns out, but they simply do not have this physical ability to do something. yes, but in fact, this is what i wanted to say now in the western e, political and information space. this is still a very symbolic step in the supply of german weapons, and on the territory of ukraine, he is presented as a kind of liberation mission, as the liberator of the pards, we will stop the war. here is something very positive. here is a dear colleague. said the tanks would come. i think that within the information space of one's own and in general, in order not to cause allergies. they will cover up the crosses, they will put badges on them. they will say that it i

well, what is the american brigade of 87 abrams and 144 bradleys ? leopards, 2 fourth modification. they have good frontal armor, but, let's say, not very good side and bottom armor. they lost four tanks in afghanistan to improvised explosive devices. just without any fire impact from uh opponents from the taliban, but, the turks lost 10 in syria, and uh, our uh old ones affected them. eh? anti-tank systems such as the bassoon, there and so on, that is, against our modern e-e systems . of course, well, i think that they will be very vulnerable. what if it applies moreover, a combination of hummers, and with new e more long-range missiles and let's say tanks and the sky are not transporters. it won't. uh, serious striking force to break through the fortification uh dmitry if we are talking about highmarks, uh with uh missiles attacks with uh with a range of 300 km, while we are not talking about some, while we are talking about the so-called uh small bombs, which uh are placed on e, m-26 salvo rockets and e yes. increases by up to 160 km. well, firstly, it is not yet available to mak

rights and interests of our citizens, as well as ensuring security of the sovereign and independent development of belarus, ukraine may receive american abramsks not earlier than in a year, the abc tv channel informs with reference to an american official , it is specified that the united states undertakes to transfer up to 50 tanks from kiev, but they plan to send the equipment not directly from the pentagon’s stocks a as part of initiatives to promote the security of ukraine for this it is necessary to conclude appropriate contracts with manufacturers. but german leopards. already, it seems ready to break out of the cage. all these there were shots of a railway echelon with tanks of the bundessphere in germany according to eyewitnesses. he is preparing to leave us the eastern frontier of nato kotka recall, earlier the german magazine der spiegel, reported that the german chancellor had decided to send tanks to ukraine. leopard we are talking about fourteen combat vehicles, an american journalist has already ridiculed the scholzes for allegedly retaliating, a gray zone columnist wrote after the destruction of the nord stream gas pipeline by

there will definitely be tanks, the question is 116 abrams will go to poland, let's say the american lilia party will be transferred immediately well, it will be already, i understand everything will be decided on rammstein i think in the near future i will hear good news about tankovsk abrams german leopard i i will simply tell our viewers to understand that ukraine has been asking for these tanks for a long time, but it seems that this is a question that lies in the political plane. well, i have one more question . oleksandr lukashenko today demonstratively visited the russian military in belarus and listened demonstratively their report by one of the russian officers and stated that they say we are doing a joint business and what will this joint business turn out to be in the near future ? the back of the russian troops we are just in the offensive or this is the entry question, but at least this kind of action he still plans to carry out, that is, he has a certain moment and is connected with troops by the general lack of troops in the army, there are about 15,000 bayonets, at the moment, no more than that, he has a certain mob

well, as for the abrams, they were also talked about today, just in the pentagon, this question also arose. well, the americanilitary is also explaining that ukraine must demonstrate the ability to service that number of armored vehicles, all the models that are being supplied now are being prepared to be supplied by the european allies, and here i will quote the spokesman of the department, general ryder, he says that logistics and maintenance are the factors which affect and will affect washington's decision to provide kiev with such armored vehicles. well, there are actually a lot of them from the news. i just selected a few of the main ones for you. the pentagon expects that the training of the ukrainian military for the use of bradley infantry fighting vehicles, which the states will transfer to ukraine, will begin next week. and how much it will continue , they also say absolutely clearly that it is not a matter of months, it is also a matter of weeks, let ’s show these bmps now, if possible, and the states have decided that they will first send them to germany, it is in germany that they will organize

the most important thing is that such a legend was created around abrams, designed to, well , americanot even fly into the tower , picks at the transmission and burns there, you know the americans. you know the worst. what are they afraid of when we start to name the number of repulsed tanks for on those fronts where they participate, this is closed, this is also closed, as they say american losses, but for us this information is open. well, uh, western nonetheless. denmark continues to talk about how useful ukraine will be supplied there. some of the us tanks that are being sent to ukraine first entered service in the 90s . european countries are also dusting off decades of stock. spain is considering sending a batch of old leopard 2 a4s that have been mothballed for 10 years and may require serious repairs military experts. we are not sure that these tanks will have a decisive impact on the battlefield. but the ukrainian troops. you still need to learn how to use them. but recognition of global lies is becoming a trend of western politicians boris johnson here made one confession. th

here, well, everyone who sends leopards to ukraine will have to conclude contracts with the americans for the supply of abramsopards in their armies. uh, all of eastern europe, and so on. so that they have where to supply samples for real money. why do they need everything else, not to mention the political moment. but there is one more curious political moment here. shulf tried to publicly set conditions in relations with america, we say put abrams there then and we. i think the americans do not ask him this in this situation. what are you up to, or what? there's a conversation like this. put therefore, i think that, by the way, it does not coincide so by chance, when they went to the burbock in front of the whole government and said, yes, we will allow it, supply it to everyone else. well, she showed that, in principle, well, look at uncle sam. what an initiative obedient i do not need to explain anything three times. i bet i catch on the fly. you see, here's catching on the fly until the twenty-first figurative sense of the word. she was also a flying gymnast. yes, well, like catching a crib. that's why i

well, maybe not abrams, but the bmp bradley is completely biden. well, let's say it semi-officially. confirmed that ukraine can receive american bradley infantry fightingw package of military aid, by the way, in this package, which will arrive or will be officially issued in the coming days or weeks , additional guys may also appear. it is needed to ensure the transportation of motorized infantry units to the battlefield, the introduction of combat from a car and for fire support, the car is also interesting. in belarus , a priest korostylov was detained who prayed for ukrainian soldiers. to all the mourners, joy in minsk. well, if they have already started detaining priests for praying, this is already just a clinical diagnosis, although there and without it, everything is written, you are just here in fact, it will be necessary to analyze this case, because i am sure that now russian propaganda will take up the analogy. we have precedents when, in kherson, which is still occupied , priests of the uoc mp, at least one such precedent knows, resorted to prayer and actually gave permission for aggression by the russian military and carried out this aggre

also american abrams heavy tanks would be given , about which it was said a day or two ago that these tanks were unsuitable for the ukrainian situation. they are too heavy, they will not work well in off-road conditions. they are too complex. uh, they will be difficult to use by insufficiently experienced, and ukrainian military personnel, and so on and so forth, but now, when the decision has been made to supply both american and germanic and dutch like spanish tanks and even, in my opinion, e norway in finland is going to contribute. only we, as it were, had time to master all this news and are trying to figure it out. how many of these tanks will actually be transferred and how long will it take we will find out other good news, which, it turns out, turns out, and now president zelensky is not asking, demanding , demanding that he be given modern combat aircraft. and although the united states is not yet ready for this. well, now we hear that the government of the netherlands is ready to hand over its combat aircraft to zelensky unless, of course, it receives some kind of compensation from the united states itself today, very interesting experts, people with extensive experi

dollars, the transfer of the 31st abrams m1 tank to ukraine, as well as ammunition and shells for them, 31 tanks are one battalion by ukrainian standards, as the american president said, abrams tanks - these are the most modern tanks in the world. but at the same time, this means that it is difficult to maintain and difficult to repair, therefore, in this package, yuriy also included special spare parts for equipment to support the operation and repair of these tanks, and also provided funding for the ukrainian military to start training on these tanks, as i said, joe biden already as soon as possible today. the american president also held a telephone conversation with the leaders of great britain and france, italy and germany, where they discussed further support for ukraine, as the american president said, and if putin hoped that the west would speed up at the same time that support for ukraine would decrease, then this did not happen, and the joint provision of tanks with germany and great britain, which it announced earlier , confirmed that the support of the west will last as long as it takes. let's listen to jubayten's comment as i told presiden

well. they want the, the british tanks, they want the german leper tanks. they want the american abrams tanks. as i understand, the abrams tanks got to 70 tons in weight, and after a 100 hours of usage need to be immediately renovated. well that is, that is part of the problem up to start off with losses. ukraine's losses in solid are in button would have been, they've been catastrophic. they've been ukraine, admit so itself. president zelinski has come up, tom and tom again and said it is hell enough. what is happening there? but to give credit where credit is to the wagon group has proved to be a can a formidable force and absolutely formidable force. the they, the, the, the strategy and tactics that they use are designed to, and half succeeded in depleting the best of ukraine's units. and we're talking here special forces, we're talking, well prepared mercenaries, or all foreign forces that have arrived to help you create a we're talking about foolish regulars, which is, which is what they are. regulars on leave, said in, in the, in the entire units the attachments or severely deplet

abrams does not solve anything, and on the other hand , the americans are quite pragmatic people, they solved two problems. first, by making a decision on the supply of abrams, they nevertheless, wells, but in fact, they seemed to demonstrate the consolidation of the entire west in the matter. uh, deliveries of heavy e weapons to the e territory of ukraine and the biden. directly tied the delivery of the tank with the upcoming ukrainian counteroffensive. in addition , information appeared today that biden plans to come to europe in february. and what does that mean? what is this , this is this, uh, the parade that they staged there regarding the supply of tanks from them, in fact. there are obligations, and no matter how ready the ukrainian troops are and they are forced to go on another counteroffensive with all the ensuing consequences before biden arrives, they will simply have no other option. it's me, i say to those people who under the illusion that it will actually make a difference. yesterday we discussed the figures for e, the number of tanks that ukraine currently has live tanks. they have 600 units 600 despite the fact that russia has but i don’t know how many now, well,

the united states states or poland, as well as france, relations with which germany has recently become cooler. american president joe biden's decision to send abramss to ukraine, i anastasarchuk tsn 1+1 marathon, the only news, so not the only leopards, could be the decision of us president joe biden. a few hours ago, a message appeared that the administration of us president joe biden is allegedly inclined to send a significant number of m1 abrams tanks to ukraine, and a corresponding decision may appear as early as this week. the white house is currently refusing to comment, but our olga koshelenko has immersed herself in this topic, is studying the details, and is now ready to tell us about them tell the point congratulations so should we wait this week for news overseas about tanks, but first the information that the united states is going to make a decision this week on the transfer of m1a tanks to ukraine directly appeared on the street magazine, but now almost all the key american publications with a link on own sources write that this decision can be made already this week, according to the politico publication, it is about the number of 3

political newspaper, well, they write precisely that it will be at least abrams tanks, which will come to ukraine, well, here i have to remind you that the reservations that existed in the americantration they did apply and talked about it openly, in particular, in the pentagon they talked about the fact that the concentration does not apply that russia could theoretically arrange some kind of escalation on the front, i don't have that kind of rhetoric anymore. and it just concerned the situation with the maintenance of tanks that will appear on the ukrainian battlefield on the front line, that is, the americans very seriously said that it should be fixed. well, today the spokesman of the us department of defense, general ryder, commented on this. he says that they have found a temporary solution that the pentagon is helping ukraine to remotely provide assistance in servicing the equipment that is already supplied from the united states, and the raider says that i will quote here. the ministry of defense of the united states remotely consults the armed forces of ukraine regarding the maintenance of weapons that come from america. however, he says that it is up to the manufacture

this whole thing, well, solovyov carries it from himself, or is it written to him by the editor, who is a subjective opinion, another flag, he called to dig up the abrams from the americansre in good tropical islands, they offer a bribe to a country whose gdp is five times greater than theirs . abrams will be ineffective for use on the territory of ukraine. yes, we can use them on the territory of russia, and what a devastating response russia has prepared for western tanks, and as they say, grandfathers fought, grandchildren fight, russia urgently returns three dozen t-34s from laos, that is, one old piece of junk that sits in the bunker they already have enough t -34 slavos well, it sounds more like a new stamp of covid than like military aid to russia on the way, after giving away t-34 tanks, the army of laos only became stronger t-34 , the ideal model has not changed for almost 70 years abrams is constantly modifying something, improving, adding, it is clear that there is no confidence in it, let's imagine a tank duel leopard and t-34 mach, by the way, let's try to compare it is not equal. someone was already dying, what is the enemy counting on, putting the t-34 aga

american plant is clogged with orders for taiwan and poland. in the meantime, the former us president trump urged the current biden to abandon the decision to hand him over to the abrams. welloo late. our own us correspondent denis davydov dealt with the situation against sending them, even the american generals . a few minutes ago, president biden announced that the united states was ready to provide 31 tanks for ukraine . this time, the entire color of the american administration came out to announce the transfer of three dozen tanks to kiev. abrams is, of course, a signal to everyone light. this is a serious message to european partners and president zelensky. this is a signal to both russia and the american people to enlist the support of the country the united states has been expressing concern over the past few weeks about how difficult it is to manage tanks, abrams, but in the end washington decided to do it this is to calm european partners, if we supply tanks, then they will supply tanks that are not like that iridescent assessments of what is happening at the publication of the politician. they believe that germany is afraid to take responsibility for global secur

americans have always used in their bilateral or multilateral relations. well, after the invasion of the enemy in 2003, it finally became. it is clear that abramss not as scary as he is, according to the calculations of the pentagon itself, they paint, then during the special operation for 10 years 1135 tanks. and now 800 vehicles, that is, more than 70% of them were damaged during the battles, and 80 units were simply destroyed compared to a desert storm during the invasion of the enemy in 2003. the united states lost 4,5 times more abrams for battles in urban areas, the vehicles turned out to be are simply ineffective. well, by the end of 2006, more than half a thousand of them were sent back to the states for repairs. and here is just a frame from the report of the american television channel nbc. look at this alabama army folding hundreds of padded abrams. it’s just that they didn’t have time to rot them, the symbol of the entire us army, which suffers losses faster than it has time to recover, the western press wrote then. third tanks were never really used against a strong enemy. which has powerful artillery anti- tank systems in the troo

like any technique, they are vulnerable and the americans will burn , they are very afraid that they will now put abrams in ukraine welly will enter with our advanced ones. well, let's say, with the same t90, and if god forbid, a mass will go and the battle will fail, this is a commercial loss. on the sides, the americans, apparently, are afraid to hit the dirt with their faces, that is, with the muzzle, so they sent bmpredli for reconnaissance. 59 of these vehicles were included in the new package of military assistance to ukraine; on the whole, they performed well during a desert storm, but to say that this is a full-fledged replacement. tanks, of course, cannot. in iraq, you will see them easily destroyed with the help of bmp-1 and conventional rpgs. thank you let me remind you that alina kateletskaya said about the unsuccessful tests of american abrams tanks in conditions that were as close as possible to ukrainian ones. the ground attack aircraft crew carried out missile attacks on military facilities and the aircraft launches were carried out in pairs from low altitudes, all targets were destroyed. after completi

service with the german ministry of defense well, i announced the delivery of american tanks on the eve of joe biden. he said that washington intends to allocate 31 abrams tanks to kiev, however , the american media claim that the transfer will take at least a year, since the authorities have only to conclude a contract with manufacturers, the combat characteristics of the abrams have been studied by borin. beaten and lined such. here they are, in fact, these felled american abrams. and they can hardly be considered a reliable combat vehicle worth seeing, even if only on these shots a direct hit by anti-tank missiles leaves no chance. but the crew of another car in arabic erromadi. lucky a little more after hitting. he still managed to get out of the burning tank and actually escape from the battlefield. and there are a lot of such videos or photos over the past 30 years. m1 abrams is the main us battle tank that has been serially produced since 1980 . well, for the first time he was involved in time in the persian gulf in the early nineties and even then during the special operation desert storm. the reliability of this technique has been questioned by

american army. abrams is covering the f16 from the sky and today the pentagon asked well, what is the situation with you also ready to transfer them in a package to ukraine ? and she didn’t say yes, and it’s also good news that we heard today in the pentagon that the u.s. defense administration does not rule out any deliveries of any weapons to ukraine, however, i now find the military running ahead, for example, near president biden. that is, they say that in the main they are not exclude deliveries at 16, but are not ready to talk about the terms and are not ready to talk about the probability of this decision, but what i hear in the congress, i spend almost several days a week in the congress and talk a lot with staffers even now a bill that should finance the training of ukrainian pilots in america well, you see what is happening now, the americans once said that we do not want to provide weapons because you are not ready to use them now . the second stage is completely different, when weapons are promised to be allocated and preparations are being made. how is the issue of patriot systems now h

proposal to just arrange a duel such a tank duel in the cabin, there in dubai the americans refused to use the abrams subbro as well big challenge, so something must or must happen in 3 months. a strong advance of russian troops deep into the territory, or something should happen in taiwan, let's say our chinese friends want to. eh, suddenly there participate in the new eviction of the new conflict then those tanks that abrams in the first place. there should be hundreds of pistols standing there, i’ll go there trees, yes many people say, don’t bother yourself in this situation , what should happen will happen and nothing will happen that shouldn’t happen, don’t exhale. no need, here it is. you don't have to ask for years, well, drive yourself into a corner. or we only strive or only then nothing, and so on. once again i want to draw the attention of you and many of our viewers. you must understand this is a war conducted in april 1945 openly, but destroyed and openly from the moment of dropping all sorts of nuclear bombs on hiroshima leg, because they dropped bombs on the japanese, but they acted. for us, this was

well, western tanks will soon be in ukraine. of german production, but also american abrams and britishgers, how this latest heavy weaponry can change the course of the war was analyzed by our journalists, and now we will look at the plot of last year in december , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine , valery zalozhnyi, in an interview with the british publication, according to the icon, said whether to go to the border 23 in february 2022, the ukrainian army needs 300 tanks, 600-700 bmps and 5 hundred howitzers . historic decisions were made this week. germany agreed to transfer its leopard tanks to ukraine, as well as allowed their expertise to the partner countries, in addition, the united states of america promises to transfer its abrams tanks, and the united kingdom can change its challenger tanks on the battlefield. russia's actions have convinced our partners to reconsider their position, according to military expert serhii zgurets, tanks are offensive weapons and they will help to organize successful military operations in the south of us, first of all, new uni

americans. you supply abrams to us without problems. we, uh, then open everything with leopards. haha american, well leopards go and are not the same. and everyone will discuss the swindlers, how to put it mildly, you say insultingly, and this will be a public punishment on the part of america organized for schultz so that everyone else would be discouraged, so that not one of these. a strange man in europe who calls himself european leaders never thought about any of america's conditions again. put forward none, because the shame and spitting of the general will be organized. that's what americans are doing in all the scandals that are out there. now i'm talking about inside ukraine. two iconic figures were not hooked. the first is mr. zaluzhny and commander-in-chief of the armed forces. and the second one is a rural one, which, however, carried out operations in the kharkiv region. well, let's say they are quite authoritative or maybe the most authoritative among the military in ukraine. what does this say? it says that if ukraine is really supplied with what ukraine wants, or maybe your version o

supply of tanks take months, training of personnel of the armed forces , the use of american abrams will go beyond ukraine. well, who would doubt biden also said that the united states and europe are united, united as never before, in the near future we can expect new announcements of deliveries from other countries, but the us and allies are hoping to recruit two battalions of tanks for the armed forces. this is more than a hundred combat. they don’t hide the target machines either, ukraine needs to get into the space for maneuver for a counteroffensive in the white house, they expect that as a result, ukraine will be able to return all these territories. including crimea, hundreds of tanks with already trained crews will help further. barin's microcircuits burned out again. joe is confused again in ukraine, and said that the states are supplying weapons to ukraine to counter ukrainian aggression, which is due to russian logic. look for yourself. although she's not there. in the sense that further biden said the united states does not reject russia's warning about the danger of an escalation of the situation a

american fighter jets but nevertheless, as we see, the world supports us well, the latest news about leopards is also pleasing . they also say in the white house that the training of ukrainians on abrambegin in a week and in months, this also instills some hope that it will be much easier for our defenders on the front line to knock out the enemy and repel him er, in the gods, as we can see, no is going to stop well, besides all that, we are waiting, we are still waiting, ukraine will receive 10,000 starlink terminals in order to have better communication, in fact, so that we can eventually talk to our defenders from the front line, so that they can tell us what is happening there, it is very interesting there now let's look at what the russians are saying, well, that is, these are the same tanks as any and others , they won't change much, those abrams leopards and so on . well, the truth is that it is soviet or soviet tanks also the abrams and, for example, the challenge and the leclercs, they met, they met during the war in iraq and this meeting, that is, there were serious large tank battles, including the bradleys, which are being transferred to us in a fairly large number, now t

well, because it's a very big market. and uh, there's some inflated bubble americans now, but there is a good technique. well, maybe it's not leopards, but some kind of abramshis technique, too, which did not take part with a real opponent. and if it starts to burn, this is also a very serious loss for the americans, that is, technically we can go into the wilds now, and with the first version of american tanks there with a hundred-millimeter cannon, so the abrams m1a1 version, then it won’t be able to fight on equal terms with ours . that is, we have a t-90 breakthrough tank. it's really cutting edge. he can, visually similar to others. everything else there is composite armor, guns and so on, so the poles want to transfer 10 tanks, but at the same time the germans are not allowed to do this, and most likely, this is the alliance that they have there , the triple coalition, this ounce, there, and so on, no matter how they call it. this is probably some kind of mechanism to circumvent the german ban on the supply of leopards, let me remind you that in general the poles were given free of charge, they only paid for their removal and overhaul in order to make

many talk about the american tank, the abrams, but the leopard 2 is most wanted. and the russians have tanks as wellicance is linked to the perception that by the russians and ukrainians appear to be planning offences later in the winter or- i would caution on the other hand, there is too much of an emphasis, and i think the signals coming out from parts of the us government and the nato deputy secretary general is that this war is likely to become protracted. there may be back and forth and tanks will be important for that, but i don't see it as a panacea or a magic solution, but as one of the ways to support and ukraine and importantly as europeans are taking the lead if and as the war becomes protracted. you mentioned russia will be doing a very similar move in terms of preparation. how are they going to react to these tanks being exported to ukraine? i would not expect them to react radically. battle tanks are extremely significant and imposing if you will, but they are battlefield weapons and tactical weapons, they are not weapons that would allow ukraine to strike deeply into russian territory
