i asked because you got to visit last week from britain's defense secretary ben wallace, who told him, i think we can push russia out of dun bass. is that really an honest assessment? i hope so. ben wallace is the author of possibly the best rebuttal of be approaching the essay from july last year in which he mixed up all the mis so far is so good idea. ology to claim that ukraine was not a real country. so he's the man of great abilities and i'm told he rated himself. i doubt he is. he's, he's just speaking to the wind. so if you're saying this, i hope he's right. but given the situation on the ground at the moment, you see any way that russia is going to allow itself to get pushed out of the dunbar after all, they've been there in one form or another fermenting a war for the last 8 years. haven't yes, but not in the same place that they were the line of contact further to the rece. but remember, the very limited gains that they've made in the us have been purchased at a huge expense in my theory and blood. so the ukrainians are fighting a very intelligent war. they're not giving the

ben wallace and the minister of defense of great britain remembers what is now published and his recollectiontion with shoigu tried to convince him that no, no, we are not planning to attack ukraine, we will not, well , in a word, i just lied to his face and hair, in principle, understanding that he was lying to him, he told him that i had been to ukraine five times and i i know ukrainians they will fight, they will fight , what did my ukrainian mother tell him right away, so as not to surprise me. she can still do this, and she says so. i know ukrainians, and we are one people in sante, that they will not fight and it will be ok, i understand that language is only one of the most important criteria, at least it was in the 19th century in order to distinguish who is which nation. but nevertheless, but not the only one, he definitely confirms and says that his family on the maternal line is a native of ukraine , that is, the question is whether today otherwise for us has already been raised here in ukraine, and in the controlled territories, this is an issue that will be raised after the deocc

estimate from ukraine's ministry of defence is is over 45,000, while the uk's defence secretary ben wallaced were way back in march, when it said over 1,300 russian soldiers had died since the invasion began. but in april the kremlin did admit suffering "significa nt losses of troops". now russia has launched a campaign to recruit more volunteers, promising huge sums of money for those who sign up. but many of the volunteers are getting little or no training, as will vernon reports. dramatic music the kremlin tells russians their soldiers are heroes. professional, well—trained troops, fighting in ukraine. but western officials say that russia's running out of men. the solution — signing up volunteers. yevgeni was one of those whojoined up. his mother, nina, says that her son had no military experience, that he was given a gun and sent straight into ukraine. days later, he was killed. translation: theyjust send them in, like dumb little chickens. _ they'd hardly even held a gun before. they'e cannon fodder. the generals think, "we've got a volunteer, great. in you go." in videos on social me

its plans to attack the crimean bridge directly with the head of the british ministry of defense ben wallace goncharenko said this. according to him, the negotiations took place at the june nato summit, in which a delegation from ukraine participated, goncharenko did not specify how this discussion ended, i note that representatives of the armed forces of ukraine and ukrainian politics have openly said more than once that they would like to inflict strikes on the crimean bridge, and the representative of the main intelligence directorate of the ukrainian ministry of defense , vadimsky. bitsky even stated that for this it is possible to use equipment received from the united states , including highmarts complexes. in ukraine, a new dismissal in law enforcement agencies, president zelensky fired the head of the security service in three regions of kiev, lviv and ternopil, and the reasons have not been reported to the hut for several months, the unstable situation zelensky had previously fired the chief analyst. sbu replaced the chief departments in five more regions of the country, and also di

we hear british defense secretary ben wallace is actually pushing and pushing ukraine to hit russianbc. he said that any target in crimea is a legitimate target to hit. these are very serious statements, and not only because we actually see such a link between london and kiev in military activity and a strike on a russian facility. there is information that, under the leadership of ben wallace, a plan is being developed today to strike at the crimean bridge, i emphasize once again the official member of the british government, secretary of defense ben wallace, under his leadership , a strike operation is being developed. on the crimean bridge, the scenario may be the next dry cargo ship, which follows one of the neutral flag, but as part of the operation of the british department of defense, together with the ukrainian relevant services. mounts on a dry cargo ship that is heading to one of the ports of georgia an installation with anti-ship missiles, respectively, at the time of passage of the area where it is possible to attack the crimean bridge turn off all navigation? the ship di

of --[applause] kate: ben wallace, as i mentioned before said that you had to be overruled on defense spending, the home secretary reportedly said that you objected to the rwanda plan during a written discussion in the department. the northern island secretary accused you of putting up huge resistance on efforts to override their northern island. it looks as though there is a recurring theme. you say one thing in private, and then you say something else for voter consumption. so should we believe them? mr. sunak: i do believe in the policy, but do i ask tough questions when cabinet ministers come to me and say, we would like to do this new thing? yes. my job is to make sure yours and everyone else watching, money is spent properly. that's part of my job. i would not do my job properly if every time a cabinet minister said can i have this much to do a new thing. i would not say, let me check and see if it works. is it worth our spending taxpayers money? kate: you would spend 200 people to rwanda is good money? mr. sunak: it's a pilot. you're asking questions i was asking. they will say

well, of course, we discussed ben wallace today.hey would be on the street for the same goals as their grandparents trump, so if we remember that the official, so to speak, ideological symbol of modern ukraine is stepan bandera the grandparents that ben wallace is talking about were on a very specific side and it was not the side of the allies, on which britain and the states of the soviet union were, it was a completely different opposite side, i repeat. these are the grandparents of those who consider bandera a hero correctly, but maybe in ukraine there are those grandparents, uh, who fought against nazism and were under uh, german occupation, almost from the very beginning of the war. uh, it's interesting how western tv channels reacted to this ben wallace's statement. let's listen to excerpts from some teleports. more money and more weapons. this is what the western allies promised ukraine at a meeting in copenhagen, almost 30 countries committed themselves to provide assistance of 1.5 billion euros. this includes providing weap

alexey goncharenko claims that at the june nato summit he discussed with british defense minister ben wallacesograph, where in the upper right corner there is an inscription of a cafe, it is obvious that it was there that volusy preferred to share his secret plans with the ukrainian narcissist. however, he quickly broke down in goncharenko. here, he already says that the circuit that thundered in all western and ukrainian media. there will be no offensive in the south at all in the fact that we will soon liberate kherson, this will not be true, but today ukraine does not have such superiority in forces and means there in the south, then go and liberate kherson and this is true. i am i understand that it is fashionable to speak there. everything. here, tomorrow, here's a little bit more i don't see how we are there in 2 weeks. 3 weeks september 1 to september 10, how do we release uh, kherson mouthpiece of the democratic party? the united states is a fantasy, the ukrainian president managed to sign a new decree on the creation of a new council for the de-occupation of the reintegration of crime

the defence secretary ben wallace says the uk will send more weapons to ukraine to help it defend againsturopean defence allies of ukraine. president putin would have gambled that, come august, come a few months in, we would have all got bored of the conflict and the international community would have gone off in different directions. well, today is proof of the opposite. we have come out of this meeting with more pledges of finance, more pledges of training, and more pledges of military aid, all designed to help ukraine win, to help ukraine stand up for its sovereignty, and indeed to ensure that president putin's ambitions fail in ukraine, as they rightly should. i think it's incredibly important that people understand that the fighting is still going on and it is still seeing the loss of life of both innocent civilians and indeed military personnel of the ukrainian armed forces, all of whom are fighting bravely on a day to day basis. but it is also the case that russia are starting to fail in many areas. they have failed so far and are unlikely to ever succeed in occupying ukraine. thei

the uk's defence secretary ben wallace says the ministry of defence is working to confirm the cause ofource, we have pretty much dismissed the suggestion that it pretty much dismissed the suggestion thatitis pretty much dismissed the suggestion that it is a cigarette but which set off the explosions, but we are trying to find out exactly what happened that the airbase. i think when you look at the footage of two simultaneous explosions not quite next to each other, and some of the reported damage by the russian authorities, i think it is clear that it authorities, i think it is clear thatitis authorities, i think it is clear that it is not something that happens much dropping a cigarette. do you think it is a legitimate target for the ukrainians to strike in crimea? , ., ., in crimea? first and foremost, russia has _ in crimea? first and foremost, russia has illegally _ in crimea? first and foremost, russia has illegally invaded - in crimea? first and foremost, russia has illegally invaded a l russia has illegally invaded a ukrainian territory. ukraine, under united nation's protocols

defence back —— secretary ben wallace says it is unlikely that western supplied weapons were the causecraft were destroyed yesterday in crimea. let's talk about people from ukraine who are living in this country. a survey about the government scheme to provide homes for ukrainian refugees has found that the vast majority of hosts are still doing so, and many want to continue beyond the initial six—month period. people were paid £350 a month to house those fleeing the conflict following the russian invasion. but of those hosts questioned, nearly a third said the rising cost of living had seriously affected their ability to provide support. and about a half said that the biggest challenges were helping their guests get access to benefits or public services. let's discuss the whole scheme and how it has been working with someone who is involved with it, andrew pitts, who is hosting a family from ukraine's capital, kyiv, and is also a trustee of a charity transporting aid to the ukrainian border and helps bring people back here. hello, good afternoon to you. thanks for waiting to talk to u
