will discuss this topic and this material together with andrii ryzhenko, an expert at the center for defense strategies good morning to you, mr. andriy , good morning well, we have different emotions with khrystyna. a territorial question can be voiced, what did ukrainian military personnel look like before 2014, in what form, in particular, did our sailors leave the crimean peninsula, and it was a sad sight the state of our in general on our armed forces of ukraine it was a very sad sight and that is why my emotion is that we have made a quantum leap over the years well, let's return to the topic of the distribution of chevs, was it possible to sign another agreement and divide the fleet in a different way? was it not possible to do at that moment, well, the topic must be so familiar to me because i was born and lived all this time in sevastopol and started - began service in sevastopol as an officer in the 90s. i can say that the intention of russia will remain in in sevastopol and in the crimea, it was possible to find out even before the collapse of the soviet union, when these various processes fo

introduce my first guest oleksandr hara, an expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategies oleksandr congratulations, glory to ukraine. good day, mr. yury. glory to the heroes, mr. oleksandr, the question i will ask you first is, well, in fact, it wasn’t even supposed to be like that, and at the end of our conversation, it was practically supposed to go. but literally, i already i was sitting in the studio, i'll be honest with you, when i looked on the internet and saw this news, which i really want you to comment on, so it is, it's belta, the belarusian information agency, with reference to lukashenka's statement during the meeting with the russian ambassador to belarus , wrote the following quote, this is a quote lukashenka reports to me the government. well, there are almost no problems in the relations between the countries, that is, belarus and the russian federation. i don't believe it much. i can see from the situation that there are still problems , sometimes bureaucracy, who is involved in this? guilty, so that when we meet the day after tomorrow in moscow, we and

expert, who is joining us, this is viktor kivylyuk , a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategiesr. welcome to the channel. espresso good evening, now everyone is primarily talking about bakhmut and thinking about the beginning of the spring-summer or summer offensive company that should be conducted by the armed forces of ukraine. in your opinion, what is happening under bakhmut is in some way connected with this company. are these parallel processes, and if not a parallel process, what effects do the conclusions from bakhmut have on further actions? they are related to the preparation of our offensive lines on a wider scale. the situation we observe in the bakhmut region is quite interesting and it can be considered both as a component of preparation for the future counteroffensive operation and separately for the ukrainian side, the main task in the bakhmut region is to strengthen control over the line of military logistics that provides supplies troops directly in the city for the enemy, eh, several issues can be considered, the first issue, after all, is to master bakhmut and

all this with oleksandr khary, a military expert on foreign and security policy of the center for defense strategiesations, mr. oleksandr well, let's start let's start by the way, with the dagger let's start with who the sting is because this is really such a historical event, the russians were sure of it. it seems to me sincerely that they have missiles that cannot be shot down by any modern system of countermeasures of defense and here there are bach and no daggers, and what are these can have an impact on subsequent and not even this war and in general military confrontation in the world yes well, first of all i am not a military expert , rather a diplomatic one but it is clear that the assessment must be yes it is clear that what the russians call analog no and we saw that it is the same thing in fact, the potemkin village like everything else what the russians presented as what well, in principle, the power, this superpower and all this wavering russian greatness, it is clear that if the technologies of the 80s can shoot down this e-e missile that the russians invested in for quite a long time
