i asked because he got a visit last week from britain's defense secretary ben wallace, who told him, i think we can push russia out of don bass. is that really an honest assessment? i hope so. ben wallace is the author of possibly the best rebuttal of love to be approaching the essay from july last year in which he mixed up all the mis so sorry. and 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 wretched 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 of war for the last 8 years. haven't by yes, but not in the same places. there were the line of contact further to the reese, but remember the very limited gains that they made in the don have been purchased at a huge expense in mercury and blood. so the ukrainians are fighting a very intelligent war. they are

and will continue to support ukraine as long as it is necessary , the british defense minister ben wallace generally stated that the decree of the russian dictator on partially mobilization indicates the defeat of the russian federation in the war with ukraine, some countries reacted not only with a statement but with concrete steps, for example, latvia announced that it will not issue humanitarian visas to russians who want to avoid mobilization, the head of the latvian foreign ministry, edgars rynkevičas, stated this, he clarified that such a decision was made purely for security reasons and emphasized that latvia will not change the restrictions on crossing the border for russian citizens with schengen visas, which were introduced on the eve of september 19, reacted to the events even in countries that are quite friendly to the russian federation, in particular russian bank cards have stopped being accepted in turkey, vietnam, kazakhstan, and armenia. the institute for the study of war doubts that putin will be able to radically increase the size of the russian army. the russians themse

by the way, ben wallace, a white man, kept this post from the last cabinet in the conflict in ukraineto change. well, as for senior officials, the ex- minister of energy, kwase kvartang, became the pusher of the treasury, he is the highest-ranking black politician in the history of the country, he was born into a family of exiles and became a member of parliament, back in 2010, the ministry of the interior, headed by the former attorney general of england and wales swail brierman is the daughter of migrants from kenya and mauritius. left guardian newspaper wrote that she regularly visits the london buddhist community center three times. he is known for having repeatedly been accused of sexual assault by the ministry of foreign affairs. led by 53-year-old james cleverly to his mother and the sierrans, while leaf once was on a visit. in moscow, he served as deputy head of the foreign ministry and signed the text of a bill that allowed london to impose new sanctions against moscow, the very ones that, according to him , should drive moscow into the worst recession since the collapse of t

the minister of defense of great britain and ben wallace provide a slightly different figure stated thatses of the russian army during the full-scale invasion of ukraine reached 25,000 people killed and the total losses, including in particular wounded prisoners, may amount to approximately 80,000, and according to volos, this will have a long-term impact on the russian army and its future combat capability. at the beginning of august, similar data were cited in the pentagon. it was reported that since the beginning of the full-scale war in ukraine, approximately 70,000-80,000 russian servicemen had been killed or wounded. i would like to remind you that russia itself does not disclose its losses during the war, at least the last time the russian ministry of defense reported on losses was on march 25, reporting then that 1 3 one person had died. well, i will also remind you of the day an investigation into the losses of the russian army was published by the russian service of the bbc, journalists established that since february 24, russia has lost more than 900 elite military specialists

number of comments from countries that help ukraine in the war with the aggressor, in particular, ben wallaceish minister of defense said that no threats and propaganda will be able to hide that the fact that ukraine will already win the war, the international community will unite, and russia will become an exile, declared voles in the german government. this is an obvious sign that ukraine is very effective in defending its territorial integrity and sovereignty, and not least because of large-scale and serious support from many countries of the world, and the united states made a number of statements, but i single out only the statement of the coordinator of the national security council and of strategic communication of the united states, john kirby - he is a former general who very carefully by the way knows all the dynamics of the situation at the front and he said that this is an indisputable sign that putin is facing difficulties and we know that he suffered tens of thousands of casualties, he kirby says that the russians have terrible fighting spirit, they have no cohesion on the battl

what is known about him, if you can tell me, and whether ben wallace will remain as the minister of defense in general, what kind of government will this government be, the government is stress, so it just became known literally these seconds that it really is james cloverley will be the minister of foreign affairs, that is, in this position, which ilya straz herself previously held, and what is known about him is that, actually, before that he was the minister of education, and before that he was a military officer and he supported brexit, so far nothing more to say. well, for now, it is better not to speculate on this topic, i will talk about other appointments, because just before the broadcast it became known that the new minister, er, that the minister has already appointed a new minister of finance, who will also be responsible for the economy, and he will actually be kwazi kwarteng also the chandelier has appointed a new vice-prime minister, he will already be the minister of health and it will be tereza coffee and tereza coffee and quazikvatorga are called close friends and associat

. :00 thank you well, british defense minister ben wallace recently visited kyiv, he discussed furtheraine in general with oleksiy reznikov, and this week he visited kyiv with an unannounced visit and met with reznikov. he wrote to himself on twitter, that is, the visa was a bit mysterious. he was glad to visit my good friend oleksiy reznikov in kyiv this week to talk about further military aid to ukraine. the minister is sure that great britain will continue to support ukraine in the fight against russian aggression. characteristically, as my colleagues who monitor this frenzy tell me , it’s just really 2%, about the annexation of ukrainian territories, another percent, he mentioned motorola they have already forgotten but no, i was such an immature hero, but in any case, yes, in any case, for the 19th cars, is it true that 97% of it is dedicated to that, what a bad event. it’s just that the incomes are so full that almost all countries have taken over, and the european union is as much as possible the platform for their operations here on our continent, in any case, he notes a little

ben wallace is one of the few who remains in post from borisjohnson�*s cabinet as defence secretary.s the new northern ireland secretary. he prides himself on being a staunch brexit supporter, but he'll now have to engage with the eu in the difficult negotiations on the trade with northern ireland. so just sojust a so just a cross section for you there. back to chris at westminster. let's talk about the character of this new team, chris, what do you make of it?— make of it? after the first set of appointments. _ make of it? after the first set of appointments, it _ make of it? after the first set of appointments, it was _ make of it? after the first set of appointments, it was dubbed i make of it? after the first set of appointments, it was dubbed an make of it? after the first set of - appointments, it was dubbed an abba cabinet, the winner takes it all, almost all of them supporters of liz truss. today the prime minister has started painting on the canvas a little bit in the background of her government, we have been hearing about morejunior government, we have been hearing about m

and the defense secretary ben wallace was there on the field. at the head of the arrival of the queen's coffin, we saw images earlier of the pool berries loading the queen's coffin onto the hub. they then left our fault and on now on route in buckingham palace, where they are arriving. and you can hear some cheers that people having gathered, obviously, security present. it is very strong. i was a god of honor. earlier on, assembled at the field when the coffin arrived biplane, from edinburgh. and of course it is being transferred in an official hus taking the queen to buckingham palace. and that is the scene now. buckingham palace, where i think it's fair to say, possibly hundreds of people who have timed out. suddenly a crowd that has gathered to applause. and to say the farewell as well. and we actually did hear a bit of an applause from the crowd when king charles and his wife arrived earlier on. they arrived in a car. this is after touching down from northern ireland. they were there a bit at a rom, but of course this as preparations and aw

. >>> british defense secretary ben wallace says putin's latest moves are an admission that russia is failing in ukraine. claire sebastian has the latest in russia. how are other people reacting to this latest address from president putin? >> reporter: yeah, kristin, reactions coming in swiftly. it seems to be a trend ben was drawing on, this is proof of weakness, not strength. president putin's breaking of his own promises not to mobilize parts of his population and the illegal annexation are ukraine are an admission his invasion is failing. no amount of propaganda can hide that ukraine is winning the war. brigette brink said in a tweet as the speech was still going on, shamrock mobilization are signs of russian failure. the united states will never recognize the reports of the annexed territory. these reactions important in the context we saw both president putin and the russian defense secretary rebranding this conflict as one not with ukraine but with the west. i want to bring you one reason saying this is the 210th day of the three-day war. russians who demanded the destruction o

defence secretary, ben wallace. tend his resignation to the queen at bell moral, it will all be such a rush that if it were to be liz truss, she would have to do all of this by phone before she addresses the nation at lipm. what does this look like to you, first of all? well, it is as many people have predicted, which is that she is giving the topjobs predicted, which is that she is giving the top jobs to people who backed herfrom early on in the campaign, and you can see that with people like james cleverly and suella braverman, for example. to some extent, that is always what a new leader is going to do, and that's the incentive to back the person you think will wind the race because you want to get a good job, but i think there will be a lot of concern on the conservative backbenches. you, this is reported on the front page of the observer today, which is around the fact that this has been a really bitter, vitriolic contest. sometimes you would not even have thought that rishi sunak and liz truss were from the sa

is it that secretary of defense ben wallace is the same as in a conversation with pranksters called theine idiots and losers so , teresa coffee, who was appointed part-time, girlfriends or stras and one of the few anglo-saxons in the multicultural british cabinet, became the minister of the interior , who competed with the list of times the election race, but after dropping out supported her candidacy, james cleverley, a former deputy of the tracks, who, in her absence, signed documents on anti-russian sanctions already on wednesday, the new government will have to answer questions from the opposition in the house of commons. how is it going to pull the country out of the crisis with the details of evgeny petrukhin? johnson is nothing more than the notorious english manners of the president of the head of the british government, he leaves, as they say, not without a shadow of regret for the black lacquered doors on downing street, dozens of journalists have already told him and the audience in his closing speech, johnson , of course, talks about how magnanimous the british government is

we've had a statement from the uk defence minister ben wallace.y monitor in ukraine joins me now. one of the common perceptions of the russian army is that it relies on sheer numbers to gain an advantage in many situations. is that why we are seeing this mobilisation drive, and will russia be able to muster troops in these numbers?— will russia be able to muster troops in these numbers? hello, thanks for havin: in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me- — in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me. absolutely. _ in these numbers? hello, thanks for having me. absolutely. russia's - having me. absolutely. russia's armies have tended, historically, to rely on mass, rather than finesse. but in this particular instance, the mobilisation, the partial mobilisation, the partial mobilisation as putin has described it, is an admission that they simply don't have the manpower to defend the territorial gains they have already made, let alone finish the conquest of donetsk, which is still the region only half conquered. it's an extraordinary move, this

the head of the ministry of defense, ben wallace, has already been approved and the new composition ofment has retained his post; the foreign affairs agency has been headed by james cleverley as deputy track and the new head of the ministry of health, who will present to deal with the crisis in the health care system, has become teresa coffee , a lover of cigarettes and karaoke. all the feeling that lovers of clowns in power, all of europe has become infected and in the west on the guiding positions in the government are recruiting let's say especially distinguished video surfaced. as a very young justin trudon and not the prime minister of canada , he admits that he cannot perform simple calculations. you know why, because of my inability to learn. today he leads the whole country and the sevens preside. i'm badly trained. i have desnumeria. this means that i can't add small numbers to do any calculations and those simple things that ordinary people do well, for example, for me difficult to count. what will be 13 + 14 27 under pressure is even more difficult. the europeans, in general

uh, said british defense secretary ben wallace.the war, and russia is becoming a global pariah. well, today is downing street, the office of the prime minister. e, announced that at the end of the year, a new british foreign policy strategy will be published officially it is called the comprehensive review of defense security and foreign policy and the main accent. there will be made on the fight against russia and the fight against china at the same time. igor georgievich is it generally in the interests of london to wage this double confrontation, a war on two fronts. and so, do you think this is such an influence from within the british concept, and it is the uk that wants it to wage a war on two fronts the united states wages a war on two fronts, or in fact the uk adjusts to the course of washington but then it turns out that by the aggressiveness of its rhetoric, that a degree of autonomy e, british foreign policy is approaching the degree autonomy of lithuanian foreign policy well, in my opinion, both of them will somehow sou

ben wallace, british minister of defense and what witnesses in london go ahead, go along with the ukrainianson news. there is no news about our russian gas and our energy supplies, but we all know perfectly well that preventive work has begun, of course, supplies via nord stream today. you understand what's interesting. after all, er, in general, the west, he absolutely, does not hesitate to declare that they use the economy as a weapon. they make completely open statements about this. and we somehow m-m, as if we are ashamed of something. they call russia not a reliable supplier. here i have a complete impression of the conviction that in fact the west is an unreliable buyer, because we have already seen and so we don’t want and so everyone doesn’t want to pay, we don’t want to, and we don’t want to go through nord stream. i want to tell you that at the dawn of our business youth in the nineties, such an expression was quite popular, nothing strengthens confidence in the client like 100% prepayment. but the company engine has not paid off yet in july, something needs to be changed. when i w

is it that secretary of defense ben wallace is the same one who, in an interview with pranksters, calledurrently. in detail, a strass and one of the few anglo-saxons in the multicultural british cabinet , soela braveraman, who competed from the sheet in the election race, became the minister of the interior. but after the elimination, he supported her candidacy by the head of the foreign ministry, james cleverly, a former deputy of the tracks, who, in her absence, signed documents on anti-russian sanctions already on wednesday, was appointed to the new the government will have to answer the questions of the opposition to the house of commons, how is it going? tell the country out of the crisis, well, with the details. uh, now we are listening to evgenia petrukhina. this half-smile of boris johnson is nothing more than the notorious english manners of the president of the head of the british government. he leaves, as they say, not without a shadow of regret behind the black lacquered door on downing street, for dozens of journalists to them and the audience in his final speech, johnson, o

minister of great britain, remember, when we talked about the fact that britain, represented by ben wallacedge, there were some giggles. indistinct comments, like, what is he sewing on to us , and then goncharenko officially said yes, they discussed it, so this possibility, i emphasize the possibility of the participation of british special services and operations. here is the british flag, or under a false flag to disable under the cover flag. we must consider this version very seriously, and i think that these questions, which must be put. we need to get an answer, because against any commercial gas pipeline that runs. accordingly, there could be a completely similar action along the bottom of this or that sea, but of course we are asking these questions, including what will be the reaction from our side, but obviously this will be after we get answers to these primary questions. now i would like to say more about these bunkers that are being built in the united states, a bunker that saves during a nuclear war can only be one when it design and build to the state that provides. that there
