but with defense, it's different. a block of text dating back to the earliest you treaties, carbs out, an important exception to competition rules for defense. article 346 allows member states to veer away from the rules to protect their security interest as related to arms and munitions. for example, member states can limit who gets the bid on big defense contracts if they need to move fast or for example, or protect their own defend secrets. but that makes sense, right? consider the tensor for a nuclear submarine like from france. no one can really expect paris to share the specifications for such as sensitive technology. after all, those are state secrets. but how about a contract to supply turn tables? that was a real case out of finland in 2008, a 1600000 euro defense contract for record players use for so in our training for naval forces at the finish government pointed to article 346 when one of the companies that last out soon, the article has since become the tories, the you, instead of protecting secrets, it

defense. this bill invests in technology, innovation and people with an eye on tomorrow while sustaining today's important platforms such as the f-35 strike fighter. if we are to prioritize social issues over lethality, our enemies will take note. our colleagues across the aisle seem to prioritize shaking a fist at mother nature over standing strong against our enemies. make no mistake, this bill comes at a time of global conflict and today seems a lot more like june, 1938, than june, 2024. in the middle east, iran is sponsoring houthis to shut down commerce inhe red sea which directly effects prices here at home. they're sponsoring, training, funding and directing hamas and hezbollah in conflict with our good friends in israel. on the european continent, for the first time since the end of world war ii and the formation of both nato and the u.n., russia's full scale invasion of ukraine foreshadows more imperial expansion and the desire to reconstitute the soviet union. on the korean peninsula

i mentioned about the defensive line a hhe defensive lines but what we don't talk about is the amountttrition that they put against the russians although they are outnumbered. the way the russians have lost personnel and lost platforms is pretty traumatic from a numbers' standpoint and ukrainians have held those lines and continue to do>> time for one more question. final question here. >> mr. spec -- spec, some of the restrictions were lifted about two weeks ago, what kind of impact has that had on the battlefield. what kind of progress or does it go far enough for you? >> i can't speak for what allies, what weapons have been used or not used and what effect that has had but what i can speak to is what i'm looking at in the kharkiv region, the attempt for them to conduct counterfire was to help them conduct stage -- build staging areas just on the other side of the border and attacking from those staging areas. so they have the ability to engage russians just across the border now and i'll leave it to the ukrainians to talk about the specific effects they have seen. but what i see is

this episode can you tell us the defense forces are not exclusively in the defensive lines beyond whiche, especially in the dynamic line there was a clash like the one in vovchan, the defense forces at the moment have stabilized the situation almost completely, and the reverse is underway. powerful work for to improve the position of the previous edge. in civilian language, it is to knock out the enemy from the positions occupied by him. the defense forces are doing this very successfully, in my opinion. it is also worth noting that from public sources, in particular russian propaganda publications, it becomes clear that the enemy is suffering significant losses in manpower, both killed and wounded, because the hospitals operating on the territory of belgorod, as well as... in nearby cities are filled with puppies, so it is worth understanding here what the defense forces are doing is beyond possible, and unfortunately, the enemy has the opportunity to replenish their losses at the moment in order to continue to strike at the stream of action, to try to realize the intention they have s

russian defense industry. want to turn to maybe the level set on where we are in this war and then what we perhaps see or assessing from both ukrainian defense industry and our own defense industrial production as well as europe. is proukraine site matching some of what we are seeing on the russian side. we have highlighting how russian is gearing up and responding but maybe we can look at ourselves and ukraine and how we see that ukraine is responding. we will start first on ukraine and the second half of the conversation, we will spend a few minutes there and go and look at where do we think the war is headed and what are some of the challenges ahead. maybe i can start with you, how is ukraine responding to dynamic? they're pummeling ukrainian civilian infrastructure. talk a little bit about that and how you see the current state of where we are in the conflict right now end of june, how does the russian offensive work out and what does that say about where the war will go, lots of questions. >> yeah. large

legally, the ministry of defense is right, said vereshchuk, because they say so, the rules are written, but in the government, the vice-prime minister convinces, they supposedly understand that forcing students of non-mobilization age to go to ukraine to become a... is not an option. it will only increase the burden on the vlk and will not help mobilization in any way - says veryshchuk. on the one hand, it is difficult to deny, but on the other hand, was it not obvious before, we will talk about it today, as well as about other challenges for citizens who are both in ukraine and abroad, and who are subject to mobilization and can be mobilized. to what extent the mobilization process is clear and transparent to you, you can write in the comments, but we also conducted a survey of people on the street, listen. the law on mobilization, it has been in force for more than two weeks, it is in effect, tell me, has it affected your life in any way? not yet, i haven't updated the data yet, the deadline hasn't passed yet, so i'm like, i'll update everything in the last few terms, it didn't affec

alexi to the wilson center as you know is ukraine's former defense minister who led defense's ukraine's establishment, first year and a half of the war that putin has perpetrated against ukraine. gle address vital issues engagementh the rest of the world and our ukraine and europe initiative launched last year focuses on ukraine's future in europe and more broadly in the west, a choice that the ukrainian people . working together with our fellow, mariana and gdp hosted several events on challenges and opportunities for ukraine's future in europe and from its path forward, towards the eu and full membership to repurposing russia's frozen assets for ukraine's defense and reconstruction and so today's event on lessons from ukraine's defense against russia's invasion is another testament to our wilson center and we look forward to this important and timely conversation. indeed, next week, we will mark, the allied landing at normandy and ultimately the defeat of fascism by our generations before. and to paraphrase the message eo his troops on the eve of d day,y one, your enemy is well traine

more air defense. i think we are observing ukrainian air defenses. we need to know that ukraine has had huge amounts of equipment that helped it to defend ukraine's cities. later on, this equipment was replaced or supplemented by western air defense systems. but we do not have it in nato. there is a huge gap to be dealt with by all member states. and eastern membership states are included. we have right now problems in poland, which you might have heard about that, where you have russian missiles flying through polish airspace while taking a turn for the second time. and attacking ukrainians. and in my opinion and the opinion of many pols, russia testing our aspirations where we have limited capabilities within nato, and we do not have ground- based systems to put them on the ukrainian border to deter russia from such moves or to shoot down such missiles with ground-based air defense systems. that shows how huge this gap is and how quickly we need to invest in it. poland is doing that, but it takes time. it is working with the u.s. on air defense and

our goal is to strengthen ukraine's defense capabilities in the long term. ukraine will have the ability to defend itself now and deter any aggression in the future. the united states will help ukraine do both. we are not over it. send american troops to fight in ukraine, but we will provide all the necessary weapons and ammunition, we will also provide intelligence and will continue to train brave ukrainian soldiers on the ground. europe and the united states. we will invest in ukraine's defense and industrial base, as well as support economic recovery. in addition, biden said that the white house is preparing a victory plan for the congress of the united states of america, in accordance with the previously passed law on aid to ukraine for 60 billion dollars. mr. vladimir, do these statements and this agreement mean that... that the united states of america is making it clear to putin, that russia's victory over ukraine will never happen, because the americans, the british, and the canadians have enough tools, apart from military, economic tools, which in p

the fantas are making efforts to expand the hostilities in order to wear down the defense forces and prevent them from advancing. russia understands that the arrival of western weapons, in particular the f-16 , will work in ukraine's favor, and the russian federation's chances of success will decrease, syrskyi added. fighters of the 22nd mechanized brigade captured a russian t-62 with an anti-drone superstructure in the bakhmud direction. our military nicknamed them sheds. the crew of the combat vehicle also surrendered. this was reported by the press officer of the brigade vitaliy sokolenko. one of the russian soldiers was sitting with a grenade, wanted to blow himself up, but managed to convince him to live and surrender. the third russian escaped and was captured later. after that , a yellow-blue flag was raised on the trophy tank and sarai successfully reached ukrainian positions. the european union has extended sanctions against the russian federation for the annexation of crimea for another year, the press service of the council of the eu reported. restrictive measures will inc

air defense remains ukraine's top priority. i applaud those who have dug deep to find more air defense systems an intercepts. for example, the netherlands is leading a smart initiative to assemble and deliver a patriot air defense system. another government agreed contribute many core companies and parts froms from its own stocks and called on ukraine's other friends to help with the rest. meepwhile, sweden recently announced its largest military package for ukraine. it includes 1.55 mill meet artillery shells, missiles an armored vehicles. sweden is also providing airborne early warning and control aircraft which will help ukraine with both airborne and maritime targets. italy announced it will send a second air defense system to ukraine. so our allies are also committing to long-term military aid packages. more and more countries are enshrining these commitments in long-term bilateral agreements with ukraine. i'm pleased that the united states and ukraine will sign their own bilateral security agreement today. together we're

by the ministry of defense.nd this audit is now aimed at conducting an audit, sorry for the taftology, in all enterprises that are subordinate. internal audit is also really involved in the compliance of certain purchases, and also has the right to a very important voice. during the resolution of some issues, and in relation to this comprehensive audit, the audit of state-owned enterprises is currently underway, and we will see the results of this audit, and it seems to me that it is possible that the ministry of defense will report on these results, the fact that sensitive information, well, it is certain, after the war we will someday be able to do this publicize, ugh, well, and accordingly we would like to ask you about'. with benefactors, charity for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, the history of the tv channel is also extremely important, and marta liyarnyk and i regularly support a lot of different, not i know, we cover the various needs of our soldiers, so we understand that it is not only us an

instead, the defense forces in response carry out systematic attacks on the rear of russian territory. yes, our air strike destroyed the command post of the russian regiment located in the village nehotiyivka in belogorodchy. and in the volkhova district of the voronet region, our drones destroyed a field warehouse, which then detonated for many hours. also, the armed forces of ukraine used hymers for the first time during an attack in kursk oblast, where they hit an fsb building in the village of suja. the offensive on kupyansk. the advertised offensive on borova has not yet begun, but the kupyan front has become significantly more active. mostly on the northern flank, where the occupiers in the vilshana area captured several of our positions between vilshana and senkivka. in addition, the enemy attacked south of berestovo and west of kolomiychikha, but the defense forces repelled these attacks. turkish failure of the armed forces. while near the temporary ravine, the defense forces successfully restrained the enemy and prevented him from either bypassing the city from the flanks or

of the world scale the international criminal court has issued arrest warrants for former russian defenseminister shoigu and chief of the general staff ger. who else could be charged and what could be the actual punishment? house arrest for the deputy. the court chose mykola tyshchenko as a preventive measure after the scandal involving the beating of a former military man in dnipro. who will bear political responsibility for the dubious actions of politicians from the president's team. well, it's me again, i remind you, my name is vasyl zemakhtel, who has now joined our broadcast, this is a program verdict, but today i will be its presenter, and during the next two hours we will discuss many important topics, well, we will , of course, report on what will happen during our broadcast, but we will start with what on june 25 as part of the next exchange of prisoners with ukraine managed to return 90 soldiers from russian captivity, we are watching a poignant video of the return. to the home of our defenders, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory to ukraine, glory to ukraine, good eve

the last time minister austin spoke to his a russian colleague, then it was the minister of defense ofa sergey shoigu on march 15, 2023 . march 15, 2023. now we have them, they haven't talked for a year and a half, so what... they will obviously never talk again, and she, he is suspicious, there is already a warrant for arresting him , what to talk to him, he needs to be delivered to him march 23- oh, it was still, i remember now about the situation at the front, well actually it was always difficult, i remember, it was in my opinion even before the explosion of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric plant, if i i'm not wrong in front of this just like that, but here 's why, because people who, let's say, don't know these subtleties of diplomacy, politics, what you always have to have. the communication contact between the nuclear states, the largest nuclear states in the world, they will say that this is treason, now they will agree with our backs and that's all, this is what needs to be explained, please explain, i worked in washington for more than one year as the consul general of ukraine,

of the stations themselves and the anti-missile defense complexes themselves. here are three such levels, let's say, radars that exist, which ones are gradually destroyed, and according to the classics of the genre, after that, well, it will be possible to say that in the air we also do not graze the hindquarters, somehow . here, the british publication the telegramgraf sounded a plan for the liberation of the peninsula, relying on various british military experts, and wrote to journalists that it is not necessary at all that the boot of a ukrainian soldier should even enter the territory of crimea. it is enough to make him inconvenient for putin and cut off the arteries of the supply of ammunition, and it is as if he can be released remotely, at the same time, ukrainian experts from the project of the informational resistance of the resistance , they say that, after all, a ground operation cannot be dispensed with, because it will be necessary to establish a constitutional system in crimea, and an intervention will still be necessary. to the ukrainian troops i

the ministry of defense and the position of the defense minister is extraordinarily high profile positionall eyes will be on him. he's got very room to make mistakes. he will be careful in how he selects certain projects and how he applies himself. he will hcomplete dominance most of the ministry of defense of procurement acquisition. he will have to deal with other massive enterprises which are doing their own thing for years and do not necessarily want to change. what in the more interesting elementshis war is how quickly russian soldiers of theby volunteers on a very small scale on evenly differef success they are capable of adapting not just on aerial vehicles but on ground vehicle deve progra build out different times reconnaissance and combat drones likes that likes and many other enterprises. lear what is going to do he know all eyes are on him for he.he knows he is the center of attention so be careful of what kind of votes he chooses to rock. we'll turn it over to you. you are a long-time reader of the tea leaves but comes the russian elite. what do you have just seen? what's i d

in the morning, air defense forces shot down a rocket over mykolaiv district. its wreckage fell on the highway, the head of the regional military administration, vitaly kim, said. due to the fall of the rocket fragments , the driver of the truck was injured, the car was damaged, and there was also a car wreck on the spot, in which another kermanych was injured. powerful explosions thundered that night in the temporarily occupied mariupol, as well as in berdyansk and melitopol. this was noted by the city councilor petro andryushchenko, head of mariupol. it was loud in the cherem neighborhood. primorsky district. according to andryushchenko, this could be an attempt by russian air defense to intercept air targets on the way to russia or the sea of ​​azov. the details are currently being clarified. border guards repelled an attack by the russian drg in kharkiv oblast. this was reported by the spokesman of the state border service andriy demchenko. an enemy sabotage and reconnaissance group tried to break through in the area of ​​the village of sotnytskyi kozachok.

, maneuverable defense, maneuverable defense - this is written in the combat charter, the military doesot invent something, they, they are not, they are not sailors, they are smart people, they have learned this for many years, when the enemy's forces are significantly superior, then we understand that we cannot hold our position, we make a decision, the commander makes a decision to use tactics called: maneuver defense, i.e. withdrawing, having fewer numbers, withdrawing, tempting the enemy, not holding the front line, withdrawing to the left, right, entering the rear and so on and so forth, this is a maneuverable defense, there is a mobile defense, this is also written in my statute, when we allow the enemy does not exist to advance in order to then take counteroffensive actions, and there is finally a positional defense, when we are sitting in the trenches, the commander must use those tactics in the conduct of the battle, which are prescribed in the battle statutes, which are most appropriate at that time and in that city and with the powerful means that he has, here once again, tha

look, now the ministry of defense, and the armed forces in general, and, because the ministry of defenser the armed forces, the largest state customer. at all the auctions , let's say, that take place, this is the big customer, so supporting your own manufacturer in this regard is the first thing that needs to be done, of course, the technical conditions need to be changed, it must be created, i wrote today a collegial body that will review all technical conditions for the purpose of writing them for a specific manufacturer. will change them in the event that such a thing is found, and uh, further on such will already be approved technical conditions, not by one person, but by collegial decisions, you know, where there is a collegial decision, where the responsibility of many is very - people are very afraid to approach someone and say: oh, listen, let's do this here, let's share there, yes, because they they don't know each other very well, that's why this form seems to me to be the most correct, and i think that we will get out of this situation with the least, thank you, thank you, ms

sicko back i think to the fact we do have a defense deterrence come deterrence and defense strategy that is based on set the plans that will over the next few years give our allies and much more granular understanding of exactly what the arm forces are supposed to do. that will drive a level of requirement for interoperabilit interoperability, the ability to fight together at the granular level and then the broader strategic level. the we haven't seen since the end of the cold war. i think that is already starting to make or force our allies to become a bit let national focus and a bit more alliance focused. some of it is basic service, training but some of it is for example, equipment. we have a standard artillery shell in nato, 155 millimeters. turns out for the last 25 allies have all got off and slightly tweaked their artillery and the shows they go in it. turns out you can't put a 155 mm shell from what i want into the guns of another. that's happened to all sorts of, for understandable reasons but it is now about to be reversed and we are now anything sort of going back to much tou

rescuers are extinguishing the fire, the southern defense forces reported.here is no information about the victims and destruction. burshtynska tes is completely destroyed. cannot be restored - said the head of the ivano-frankivsk regional military administration svitlana onyshchuk. she noted that the station was attacked 12 times. due to the destruction of the power plant, burshtyn may be left without heat and hot water in winter. the city has already turned to the government and the ministry of community development and rehabilitation for help. there, they agreed on the allocation of six boiler houses for social facilities and the population. the tragedy happened in the kyiv region, a 66-year-old man fell into the elevator shaft from the height of the fifth floor, it happened when the lights were turned off. he opened the elevator on his own, but fell into the mine, the national police reported. at first , the victim was conscious, but died on the way to the hospital in an ambulance. he tried to defend himself and brought him to court ukrainian ombudsman.

air defense on june 10. these are just two news stories from the past few days. by the way, the destruction of four s-300 systems in the belgorod region with the help of hymers, confirmed in the gur kraken special unit at the beginning of june. in addition, gur spokesman andriy yusev said that on june 7-8 , ukrainian drones damaged two russian su-57 fighter jets. at the airfield in the astrakhan region. the isu-57 and the s-300 and s-400 air defense systems are important air defense and aviation assets for the russian army that support russian offensive operations and prevent ukraine from flying near the front line, the institute for the study of war writes. ukrainian troops can try to actively weaken russian air defenses before ukraine gets a significant number of aircraft. to create conditions for the future use of manned aviation by ukraine closer to the frontline areas. ukrainian forces may seek to weaken russian air defenses ahead of expected deliveries of f-16 fighter jets to ukraine, which are reporte

we used the ministry of defense writin t wish list.e. mission completed. we will have f-16s. the only death star still is an agenda. >> i suppose it is easier to explain why you need all the ingredients when you can say what is it that you're trying to cook, right? someone to ask you about this, the saying that's essentially attributed to the general, ukraine's former military commande a will never be able to defeat an large soviet army, meaning that if ukraine fights the way of its legacies of the way of vt russia, , that also uses many of these soviet ingrained ways of fighting. there would be no advantage for ukraine. could you explain to limit how ukraine armed forces adapted, how they evolve over time? what is most important mechanisms for learning when you're in the middle of a war? >> it absolutely right. i think part of thismisunderstad estimating before this full-scale invasion was that soviet army, and certainly small army will lose. but when president zelensky asked me defense minister, his demands for his task for me was ju
