monitoring armament the ministry of defense of ukraine and the embassy of the united states agreed on a plan for joint inspections of the transferred american equipment. according to the document, ukrainian and american inspectors will check the serial number, technical condition and storage conditions of the weapons. the purpose of such monitoring is to meet the requirements of the american government. and inspections will continue throughout 2024 . partner support. new military package. ukraine receives eur 80 million in aid from estonia, the country's ministry of defense reported. the amount includes a large number of anti-tank missiles, javelin, machine guns, ammunition for ... light weapons, various vehicles and vessels, as well as diving equipment. the agency does not disclose the exact amount of aid for security reasons. they are at home. ukraine returned five children from the occupation. two of them were taken out together with their parents, oleksandr prokutin, the head of the kherson regional military administration, said. according to him , the children are in a safe place, specialis

soldiers, which was supposed to be the basis for breaking through the enemy's defenses in the south of the country. but the preparations were slow, the armamentso arriving, and after the defeats in 2022, russia began to build fortifications. and mine captured territories along the entire contact line, especially densely in the south. also, since january, the army the russian federation switched from defense to offensive actions on the line from kupyansk to ugledar. this was the second battle for the east, where the enemy sought to push ukrainian troops out of donbas. this hostile plan collapsed with the epic annihilation of the russian forces at ugledar in february. however , the enemy concentrated on capturing bakhmut, where he used it for the first time. wagnerites and tactics of meat assaults. this rush lasted until may. the enemy paid a colossal price for the ruins of bakhmut. the political and military leadership of ukraine considered the defense of bakhmut exhausting it is expedient, despite the advice from the us, to concentrate all forces and opportunities on conducting a concentrated offensive in the south. according to the plan , the

minister of defense said, this year we have delivered 86 anti-aircraft missile systems, the latest to the army, 47 new radars, this is at a time when, in principle , there is enough for armament supplying new absolutely innovative means, at this time zelensky is begging for his team, just begging literally at the level of one battery, give two, give... a million shells, but it won’t happen, i think that the twenty-third year is the results of the twenty-third year, the most important thing is that russia has proven that that she is not what she really is could never lose to the collective west, but she proved that she could very quickly restore, not just parity, but priority over the weapons of the west, it only took us less than 2 years, and the twenty-fourth year will certainly be difficult for our group , there will be very difficult combat operations. but, as the minister of defense correctly said, we will complete all the goals of the special military operation in 2004, in any case, the ministry of defense will strive for this. i'm always confused by comparisons with the first world war, considering what it was like ended. let me remind you that in 1916 we had fantastic

the ukrainian defense forces were preparing for an offensive, now it is difficult to talk about it, there are too many factors that can affect it. this is especially related to armaments equipment, and financial support, so it is clear that to say... for sure what the scenario will be, will be the most likely, is very, very difficult, but it is necessary calculate all scenarios, in any case, well, now the planning horizon is one campaign, it is a little more than the planning horizon was at the end of february, the beginning of march 2002, but unfortunately, really, if such a situation, that many factors are starting to play against ukraine, and the biggest problem, the biggest challenge is to keep the coalition that was formed in the spring of 2022 and to keep it from the point of view of at least the idea that russia should not win, ukraine should not lose, that is , yes, it's a difficult task, but we understand challenges, we understand the tasks before us and we have no other option but to solve them little by little, providing our partners with appropriate arguments, why any attempts to negotiate with russia here and now are meaningless and why, on the contrary ,

armament of ukrainian defenders, so the training goes on continuously. currently , they have encountered a problem here, they say, the ministry of defense, which orders the most complexes, does not pay forhe military, because the ministry finances it. to the training of operators exclusively by state institutions. at this stage, it comes from the net profit of the company. therefore, there are certain difficulties, because it is necessary to constantly update the complexes and repair them. more and more transport is needed, because people are not getting fewer. this problem, they say in the center, can be solved after all, issues with the training of border guards and national guardsmen are not avoided. figures also pay for the training of pilots for which birds are purchased under the drone army program, so experts are convinced that a synergy of the ministry of defense, manufacturers and elected officials is needed here. good evening, we are from ukraine. well, we looked at our operators, about our birds that cause death to enemies. well, now let's continue the big ter, two hours ahead, there is still a lot of interesting and important information, just all of it is interesting. impor

for ukraine. secondly, the ukrainians have already destroyed about half of the russian army at the expense of 5% of a u.s. annual defense budget. it's a really good economic ratio. remember, most of the armaments ukraine are manufactured in the united states. >> say that again. give our viewers that statistic. >> manufactured in the united states. >> about the percentage of the russian army destroyed. >> well, i mean, the ukrainians have been fighting, first of all, recovered about half of the originally conquered territory. and they're dying and depleting the resources of an aggressive genocidal dictator. we owe them. you know, if the u.n., if the international order is to mean anything, we need to supply the victim of aggression with the means to address the crime that has been committed in the international arena. >> having taken out half of the russian military with 5% of the annual u.s. defense budget, this is good value for money, right? >> it is. but we have the same problem on both sides of the atlantic. we have not put our defense industries on a crisis footing. the russians have put their defense on a war footing. >> right. >> yeah, we are richer, but we are not making enough equipme
