information from verified sources that after all, the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyiemoved the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine from his post. for the industrious, there is one telegram channel, then no, no, i believe that in any case one should always wait for official information, because zulzhny was filmed last week, i remember, anonymous telegram channels reported about it, and then the day before the day before, and then a month ago, and two months ago, i think that they will be filming him for a very long time, at any in any case , no matter what rotations take place, there must be justification and logic, but surely we will soon start the third year of the war, we have to live in that space. when there is information that is worth trusting, or that at least has three sources, four sources, if only not one source of one telegram channel of one former mp, and with all due respect, again, it's very, very difficult to comment on these things, but when some information appears every week and it's again verified sources that don't work, then verified

series for six months there, maryana bezugla against the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, or zelenskyi’son of maryan and valer, well, the questions to which the answer is obvious, the short answer is yes... there are no tendencies, no understanding, no responsibility , no strategic thinking, was it difficult to calculate the consequences, well, the consequences were obvious, i don't think they are that much anymore, because this is zelensky's team - this is a team of information workers, these are daily measurements of the temperature of public opinion polls, there, launching trial information there... the reaction was predicted, and there is such a reaction, but you see , it’s like, well, it’s, for example, how completely stupid it was when zelenskyi fought with poroshenko, who had simply lost everything politically, when there was a court not far away from me, and there i was everyone the other day i heard these rallies with loudspeakers, because from the point of view of politics, well, they are a huge mess on... why, why are you doing this, this is obviously a burgeoning situation, b

ukraine, glory to the heroes. well, we will start with the plot, which is called so, not evolution, obviously the transformation of the president of ukraine, the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyiw he started this year and with what he came to the finish line year, and what can be expected in actions, in decisions, in words. president of the year 2024. let's watch. in january 2023, the head of the president's office andriy yermak defined the goals - victory. the attention of the whole world to ukraine, cooperation with the countries of the global south, as well as china and india. a year has passed, what went wrong. the counteroffensive was supposed to begin in the summer and the shores of azov were supposed to be ours again, but the lack of weapons, lack of aircraft, three lines of enemy defense turned the bank's promised victorious march to melitopol into a bloody, exhausting struggle. for every meter paid in blood. the diplomatic front also asked for the july summit on... in vilnius, but did not give an answer, when? the photo of president zelensky at the summit, apart from the group of western leaders , eloquently illustrates the reality, and the absentee dispute with the d

watching this series there, mariana bezugla against the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, or zelenskyi’sersion of marian and valer, well, questions to which the answer is obvious, short answer, yes, competences no, no understanding, no responsibility, there is no strategic thinking, but was it difficult to calculate the consequences, well, the consequences were obvious, i don’t think they are that much, because this is zelenskyi’s team - this is a team of information workers, this is a daily temperature measurement, a thunder of public opinion polls, the launch of trial tests there informative, they reaction was predicted, and the reaction is like that. but you see, it’s like , well, it’s, for example, how absolutely stupid it was when zelensky fought with poroshenko, who had already lost everything politically, when i it's just not far from the court, and there i heard these rallies with loudspeakers every day, because from the point of view of politics, well, it was a huge folly, why, why are you doing this, it's obviously a burgeoning situation, but... they talked about personal ambit

from verified sources about the fact that, yes, the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine. and volodymyr zelenskyiremoved valery zaluzhny, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, there alone telegram channel, then no, i think that in any case you should always wait for official information, because the zaluzhny was filmed last week, i remember anonymous telegram channels reported about it, and then the day before, and then a month ago , and two months ago, i think that it will be filmed for a very long time, in any case, whatever brotations did not take place, there should be justification and logic, but well... for sure, we will soon be in the third year of the war, we have to live in that informational space when it is and when it is information that should be trusted, or that at least has three sources, four sources, if only not one source of one telegram channel, one former people's deputy, and with all due respect, again, it is very, very difficult to comment on these things, but when some information comes out every week and it's again verified sources that don't work, then ve

elizaveta, and why the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyyid not personally represent this bill, do you have an answer to this question or not? i think that it is the responsibility of everyone, the branches of government, not just to discuss and present this draft law, to decide what will be in it, i think that president zelensky, as well as... our chief general zaluzhnyi, have recently said more than once about the fact that mobilization is very important and it will be necessary to fight a lot, president zelenskyi, who is currently abroad on important foreign trips, also answered questions about those people who are currently abroad at his press conferences outside ukraine, men, what will happen to them, what will happen to the mobilization of those who are now abroad. i think that the communication is going, and with regard to the presentation, this bill, this is... the issue is very much that concerns everyone, and i am worried that the ministry of defense, the government and the parliament will still finalize the version of the law that

ground forces, oleksandr syrskyi, and the head of the gur of the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov , rejected zelenskyi's offer to assume the post of commander-in-chief of the armed instead of valery zaluzhnyi. so zelensky was forced to cancel his decision under pressure from high-ranking officials and international experts. well, actually, we will follow the development of this one. sergey, i will add one more remark, you read the correct quotes, but there are more in the articles. and there is much worse quotes that the reason for the possible release is the popularity of zaluzhnyi, the fact that he has such, as if, the favor of ukrainians today is greater than president zelenskyi, and this is much more dangerous. when western partners and western media, in the conditions of war in ukraine , insinuate that politics, ratings, popularity, and sympathy come to the forefront for someone in the bank, and not one question, how best to win the war, with which strategies, this is very bad, beyond any doubt, and of course mobilization is mentioned in this story. they speak that the most important thing, the main conflict that can be between zelenskyi and zaluzhnyi is th

who are preparing, and for some reason, zelenskyi does not associate himself with this vertical, although he is the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraineis not quite popular in the electoral group of zelenskyi supporters, because zelenskyi supporters, again, let's not generalize, not all, but a significant part, and they see it through focus groups, very simply, yes, they understand that there is a target audience, well, an electoral audience that wanted to fight with the remote control on the edge, yes there type and hooray... on the sofa, and they do not like some norms of the law, first of all, the reduction of the conscription age from 27 to 25 years old, that is why, seeing this, zelensky wants to distance himself, i am not me and the house is not mine, so that the associative row mobilization was associated with zuluzhnyi, not zelenskyi, and that's why, that's not why the president introduces... this draft law, yes, it is being introduced by his government , but they will always emphasize that it is the military, that it is illegitimate and that zelenskyi’s conflict is illegitimate precisely because of the law on mobilization, in

the power of ukraine and the perception of ukraine as the eastern outpost of the north atlantic alliance, because president zelenskyi is correct today said while in estonia that our... armed forcesf ukraine are powerful, they fight with the weapons of the north atlantic alliance, they are the most trained are those resources of the north atlantic alliance that are holding back the russians, or could it happen that nato would take such actions , or make decisions that will allow us to win in the short term. well, i have no illusions about nato, that is, in fact , the alliance is still a structure that deals with the defense of its members, that is, the members of this organization, they count common defense, and this is the main essence of the alliance, they are very, i mean , the organization itself, very, very skeptical of any functions that go beyond this fifth article, well , that is, for example, to restore order outside nato or take responsibility for the development of the situation in some neighboring region. for example, the best example in this regard is the black sea. as much as we have told the united states individually, but also nato as an organization, please take

of the last day, valery zaluzhnyi and his probable resignation. the publication dzerkalo tykhny claims that the meeting between president volodymyr zelenskyi and chairman of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, at which the resignation was discussed the latter, nevertheless, took place, according to mirror of the week sources in the president’s office, surrounded by the head of the committee, zelenskyi and zaluzhnyi met on the eve of january 29. during this meeting, zelenskyi, according to interlocutors of the publication, offered... zaluzhnyi to leave the post of commander-in-chief. in response, zaluzhny, according to their data, stated that it was the right of the supreme commander to decide with whom he should work. to write a resignation letter himself, sources assure the mirror of the week. zaluzhnyi did not and is not going to, but in order to to remove the head commissar from his position, a corresponding submission from the minister of defense is required. journalists also asked the sources whether zaluzhn was offered any other positions in the event that he resigns. and interlocutors of the publication. stated that nothing adequate or significant - this is a quote,

society, the legally elected leader of this society is volodymyr zelenskyi, he is supreme according to the constitution the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, then who should take responsibility for this draft law and the mobilization process? well , that is, in order to present this society. volodymyr zelenskyi, who will celebrate 5 years of his tenure as president on may 20, 2024, is responsible for this mobilization under ukrainian legislation. during this time , the powers of the president could, in principle, be memorized, i think, and from... accordingly understand that politicians and power, which is formed by people through elections, they should determine a certain matrix, the military should implement it, not vice versa, we do not have a military junta, which the kremlin likes to scare us with, we have a democratic state. it's just zelenskyi's team, i don't think that he himself is so involved in this process, but zelenskyi's team does not understand very well the fact that, in principle, there are quite a lot of unpopular decisions in ukraine at the moment for one simple reason, because they are popular. . there are no more solu

vertical, although he is the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, the law is not... quite popular in the electoral group of zelenskyi supporters, because zelenskyi supporters, again, we will not generalize, not all, but a significant part, and they see it through focus groups very simply, yes, er, they understand that there is a target audience, well, an electoral audience, who would like to fight with the remote control to the edge, and there, like, and hooray, shout on the couch and... them some norms of the law do not apply, first of all the reduction of the conscription age from 27 to 25 years, that is why, seeing this, zelenskyi... wants to distance himself, i am not me, and the house is not mine, so that the associative series of mobilization is associated with zaluzhnyi, not zelenskyi, and that is why, that is not why the president is introducing this bill, yes, it is being introduced by the government, but all the time they will emphasize that it is military, that it is malicious and that zelenskyi's conflict is malicious precisely because of the law of trials. in fact, no, we already said before that in fac

... the rate of zaluzhnogo, today the mirror of the week with referring to her sources, wrote that zelenskyi met with the head of the armed forces of ukrainezaluzhny yesterday and offered him to write a report on his dismissal, but did not offer another significant position, ladies and gentlemen, you can explain why all these stories are accelerating with such lightning... speed, why are there no clear explanations of what is happening, and why, if zelenskyi has no complaints against the zaluzhny, why are we not talking about the unity of the military and civilian leadership of the state, because it is in principle affects the people who are in this state, affects those who are at the front, who are fighting, well, of course, this gives russia a reason to speak there, but zelensky wants to remove the tyrant, now... it is not clear what will happen there front, and in general , now the internal struggle is starting in ukraine, why do we not have answers to these questions, and why are they constantly pondering, added by bloggers, and distributed through anonymous telegram channels, mrs. victoria, such a whole complex, and you are actually v

the whole society, the leader of this society, legally elected is volodymyr zelenskyi, according to the constitution he is the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraineho should take responsibility for this bill and for the mobilization process, that is, for presenting it to society. ukrainian legislation assigns responsibility for this mobilization to volodymyr zelenskyi, who on may 20, 2024 will celebrate 5 years of his tenure of the presidency. during this time , the powers of the president could be memorized, i think, and understood accordingly. that politicians and the government formed by the people through elections should determine a certain matrix, and the military should implement it, not vice versa, we do not have a military junta, which the kremlin likes to scare us with, we have a democratic state, just zelensky's team, i don't think that... he himself is so involved in this process, but zelenskyi's team does not understand him very well the fact that, in principle, there are quite a lot of unpopular decisions in ukraine at the moment for one simple reason, because there are no more popular decisions left. the war has been going on for s

president of ukraine, president zelenskyi's press secretary, serhiy nekiforov, in a comment to ukrainian pravda, stated that zelenskyi did not fire the chief... commander of the armed forcesraine, valery zaluzhnyi, when asked whether the president had fired zuluzhnogo's press secretary answered definitely no. well, we will see, because the information is being updated, they say that there will be an update of the information, we are following these events, well, in the meantime, david arahamiya, the leader of the parliamentary faction of the servant of the people, i have this impression, maybe, maybe with such a throw-in, maybe they want to divert attention from something, let's see, no, well, they could just protest, how how... people will react, that too, and they protested very well, because i have a red phone, everyone is writing to me, you know, you know something, don't you, and everyone is silent, and when you write, the most important thing is that in such a situation, when you write to high-ranking officials, they are so constantly in touch and answer, here they probably even connected the phones, because even if i see that no e-mail messages are received, they p

say, different, generally different vision of this bill between commander -in-chief verkhovny zelenskyi and commander -in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine zaluzhny, and says that this, as it were, became the stumbling block, and all these rumors that zelensky was supposed to... fire zaluzhny were related to this, well, in fact, we do not know this for sure, we cannot claim that the washington post is not wrong in its conclusions, but nevertheless , well, how are you? in view of what you actually said, that there is no presentation of this bill by zelenskyi, and that most likely the military will have to present the bill, not zelenskyi, it certainly leads people to some conclusions, you know, they know for sure about this situation two people, this is the main thing... the commander is general zaluzhnyi and the supreme commander is president zelenskyi, but only one person can talk about this, this is the supreme commander president zelenskyi, because from the point of view. subordination, he has the right and he has appropriate authority. according to the law, according to absolutely all norms, it cannot be presented by the military, bec

commander-in-chief not the leader of this political process the armed forces of ukraine, that is, why the government introduces... a bill, not volodymyr zelenskyi? well, as far as i'm concerned, this is absolutely normal practice, that the ministry of defense together with the general staff undertook to establish it. it seems to me that it would be better if this work with the verkhovna rada began, well, a little earlier, so that, no, no, the deputies did not already read, in fact, in the registered version of the websites of the verkhovna rada, the final result, and here are the consultations, they can we were... conducted earlier, but the ministry of defense can make these recommendations in this way, because it is absolutely normal they constantly work with the military, who also have to have their say, and by the way , as far as i understand, not only representatives of the ministry of defense, but the general staff will and can present the draft law in the verkhovna rada. thank you, ms. evgenia, sir. andriy, i have a question for you as a lawyer, you have obviously already studied this draft law, and you can say whether it complies with th

of the american. president's national security advisor jake sullivan. according to zelenskyi, together they discussed the key tasks facing the armed forces of ukraine for this year and the means necessary for their implementation, as well as further cooperation in the defense sphere. special emphasis was placed on anti-aircraft defense and long-range weapons. in a single electronic register of conscripts will be operational in ukraine, respectively. the law was adopted by the verkhovna rada, it was supported by 249 people's representatives. the document will speed up the identification of ukrainians who are not on military registration, regardless of their place of residence. in this way , the need to look for men in restaurants or gyms disappears, the authors of the law say. in addition, all services for the mobilized are going digital. in... the council did not support the draft law on fines for curfew violations, for only 214 parliamentarians voted, people's deputy oleksiy goncharenko informed and added that the document was sent for a repeated second reading. i would like to remind you that the bill stipulates fines for curfew violators ranging fro

of state anthony blinken and the us president's national security adviser jake sullivan. according to volodymyr zelenskyi, they discussed the key tasks facing the armed forces of ukraine thiss necessary for their implementation, effective implementation. also , further cooperation in the defense sphere, special emphasis was made on... anti-aircraft defense and long-range means of destruction. well, it will work in ukraine a single electronic register of conscripts. the relevant law was adopted by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, it was supported by 249 people's elected representatives. the document will make it possible to speed up the identification of ukrainians who are not on military registration for one reason or another. regardless of the place of residence. in this way, the need to look for men in restaurants or gyms disappears, he says. the authors of the law, in addition, all services for the mobilized come in a digital format. the question is when it will be implemented, of course, preferably sooner. instead, the council did not support the draft law on fines for violating the curfew , only 214 parliamentarians voted for it, people's deputy oleksiy goncharenko info

of the armed forces. the last challenge for ukraine, unrestrained speculation about that president volodymyr zelenskyi will dismiss the commander-in-chief were absorbed. the ukrainian capital at a dangerous moment of war - states the new york times. the newspaper notes that president zelenskyi planned to fire the commander-in-chief of the armed forces valery zaluzhny, but abandoned this idea when the information leaked to the press. according to the new york times, citing a former high-ranking ukrainian official , it is reported that as of now , the process of releasing the employee is being slowed down in the president's office. also one of the people's deputies, who was briefed on the president's plans, said anonymously. that one of the reasons why zelensky did not fire zaluzhnyi was that no replacement for the general had been found. zelensky asked the general to resign, but he refused, writes bloomberg. zelenskyi is pushing for a bolder approach to warfare, which appears to be at odds with zaluzhny's more conservative approach, the publication said. differences arose between zelensky and zaluzhny due t

political process not the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, why is the government introducing the draft law, and not volodymyr? zelenskyi, well, as far as i'm concerned, this is absolutely normal practice, that the ministry of defense together with the general staff took it upon themselves to establish this. i think it would be better if this work with the verkhovna rada started, well, a little earlier, so that, no, no, the deputies did not already read, in fact, the registered version of the websites of the verkhovna rada, the final result, and here it is consultations, they could actually be carried out, but... earlier, but the ministry of defense can make these recommendations in this way, because they constantly work with the military, who also have to have their say, and by the way, as far as i understand, represent draft law in the verkhovna rada, there will and can be representatives not only of the ministry of defense, but also of the general staff. thank you, ms. evgenia, mr. andriy, i have a question. to you, as a lawyer, you have obviously already studied this draft law and can say whether it is complies with

of conscription to 25 years, send out electronic summonses, and introduce restrictions for so -called evaders. earlier, at the final press conference in december , volodymyr zelenskyi said that the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine wants to mobilize 4,500, 450-500 thousand people in the near future. and although this bill was a government bill, it looks like not even all government officials agree with it. some ministers later came to the meeting of the security committee and asked not to approve the draft law in its initial form. he said that they voted for him at the government meeting, but did not agree. here, of course, the question arises, why did they vote then, did someone force them. individual people's deputies, mostly from the opposition, today stated that it is currently not clear in what way the bill on mobilization will be returned to the... government for revision, well, so that it would be quick and simple, and here i remembered how yesterday at on our air , the deputy for the voice roman lozynskyi stated that this draft law is allegedly, well, like a ball, deputies, government officials and the president, who is currently in the baltic countries, by the way, are throwing this document to each oth

armed forces of ukraine. many. different opinions, many different versions, today the mirror of the week wrote about the fact that a meeting between zelenskyi and zaluzhnyi took place yesterday, and it seems that zelenskyi asked zaluzhnyi to resign from his post, but to remain in the status of adviser, assistant, or even go abroad as an ambassador, is it really the case that my guests know about it, i hope that general krivonos and oleg hrybachuk know about it. well, we have our own versions of what happened yesterday, besides , we will be interested to hear, er, what kryvonos will say about mobilization, because the law about mobilization is supposed to be considered in literally a few days in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, so far the final no one seems to have seen the version of the law, but zelenskyi says that he trusts the military, and whether the military has any participate in the preparation of this document and what role? in this, the political leadership of the state with oleg rybachuk will also discuss the encroachment of our neighbors, the leaders of the far-right forces of hungary and romania, on ukrainian territory, because s

armed forces of ukraine. ukrainian allies handed over long-range weapons to our military, which we cannot talk about yet president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyiress conference with representatives of the baltic states. with its help, our defenders destroyed 26 enemy helicopters and 12 airplanes per day. the president did not announce the date of the successful attack by the armed forces.

of ukraine, meanwhile, zelenskyi said in an interview with a british tv channel that he does not see the need to mobilize 500,000 ukrainians. let's listen to what the supreme commander of the armed forcesukraine said. personally, i do not see the need to mobilize today. half a million people , i'll tell you yes, yes, uh, i think so, not because i want to somehow answer now and please someone, it's just people who, it's not only life, life number one, but life number two the story is there are appropriate actions, there are appropriate operations, and that's why i haven't seen so far today... enough clear details to say that half a million has to be mobilized, that's the second, the third, i'd just like to tell you that it's more money, ugh, and if anyone didn’t mind, all these finances, they definitely don’t come from partners, mr. major, you can explain why the figure of 5,000 mobilized people is constantly being used... although the head of the armed forces of ukraine said that , that it's not a one-time thing, but it's over the course of a year or so during the longer period, that it is necessary to attract more conscripts to the armed forces of ukraine, it is necessary to change th

again that ukraine has returned 230 soldiers and civilians from russian captivity, volodymyr zelenskyy announced this. among them, 225 men and five women, 130 representatives of the armed forces of ukraine were brought home. 55 of the national guard, 38 of the state border service and one of the national police, part of the defenders defended mariupol and asovstal, in addition , they released six civilians who were illegally deprived of their liberty. for ukrainians, the aggressor country received 248 of its citizens, 225 military personnel and 23 terrorists of a private military company. volodymyr zelenskyy thanked everyone involved in the return of ukrainians to their homeland. and here too... note that this exchange of prisoners was the largest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, i will quote further: a difficult exchange after a long pause is the result of a great effort of the team. we continue our work, we have a clear task from volodymyr zelenskyi to return everyone, this is how the leader commented on the exchange office of the president andriy yermak, the return of ukrainians to their homes was handled by the main intelligence department, and it is also s

matter of state importance , including those processes that are relevant to president volodymyr zelenskyi, it cannot be otherwise, because he is the supreme commander of the armed forces of ukrainehe question of justice in ukrainian society is extremely large-scale, it cannot be that our soldiers, who as part of the mobilization were called up to the laf-ukrainian army back in february 2022, for almost two years in a row, do not have clearly indicated time indicators when they will be able to return to their relatives and loved ones, this is unacceptable, in addition, ukraine has great experience of conducting six minutes of mobilization in the period between 14 and 17 years, it would seem that our... the bike uses those developments that at one time demonstrated their high efficiency, but for some reason this option does not work, we plunged into the whirlpool. communication within our country, there are various discussions, here it seems to me that there is a communication failure, because any complex processes must be qualitatively and methodically communicated, explain why it is important, explain in what way, where exactly the training will take place to the mobilized ukrai

decision, to which, in principle, zelenskyi has the right, as the commander-in-chief, in principle, he is responsible for the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukrained he can carry out such a rotation, the only question is whether they will be able to clearly and logically explain , what, what, what happened and why should zaluzhnyi go to another position or leave head office? they cannot do this logically at all, there is no explanation , let’s say, zulzhny is already a historical figure, zulzhny has more victories over the russians than probably anyone there in history, because even napoleon there, well, borodino defeated the australians there, but luzhny won there near kiev, near sumy, near chernigov, near kharkov, near kherson, and how many victories for luzhny that he already... ranks among the great commanders of the world in history, and even what would seem unsuccessful counter-offensive, but on the contrary, i would say there , it is quite successful, so what many russians put in, tested a new technique, actually showed that you can try to attack without an advantage in the air, and without an advantage on the ground, but on one will, well
