during the cold war until the late eighties, west germany was nato's eastern flank. e united states, were strange guarantors back then. but in the near future , the german bundeswehr will defend nato’s eastern flank. this is a tool of intimidation. we have learned the lessons of the cold war. this is not a classic military mission, as it was, for example, in mali or afghanistan. this is a completely new operation for the german bundeswehr. for the first time in our history, we are deploying a unit. outside germany for a long time and not on a rotational basis. this is significant difference. we are moving a unit to another nato country and thereby making a significant contribution to security on the eastern flank of the alliance. now this is our responsibility, our task. some of the 500 bundesphere soldiers will even come to lithuania with their families. they will serve at two bases: barukley and mine. russia may attack us, us, germany, if a full-scale invasion really happens, then pistorius’s calculations are not entirely correct, russia will just have to wait 5-8 y

the number of alliance troops in eastern nato has increased, and sweden is planned to join.this means the next stage in the alliance’s approach to our borders. let me remind you, we all know well, in the ninety-first year they promised gorbachev, no, no, not an inch to the east, here you go, these are the partners. ruth is shameless, he is simply at every step, while the aggressive nature of the bloc is no longer hidden behind the defensive formulations of the organization, no one has canceled article 5, claims to global superiority are directly enshrined in us doctrinal documents. the west is not abandoning its strategy of containing russia and its aggressive goals in ukraine. well, we are not going to give up our goals of a special military... operation, assessing the current situation at ground, what we consider necessary, what we want , where necessary, where you, the commanders, in general, consider it advisable to come to the tactics of active defense, this is what happens, and where necessary, we improve our positions, the enemy bears heavy losses and largely wasted r

nato is taking very seriously, with the less way near brigade germany aims to help strengthen nato's eastern slang . since specialists invasion of ukraine and february 2022. the bonus van has redefined its goals. the focus is now on national defense and strengthening nato. today, the milestone is that very new project and the very impressive project. i think we signed the roadmap, as is absolutely new for germany. absolutely new for the bonus with the 1st time we do that. it's a huge challenge, but we are really willing to do it. and we are keen on being successful together without at least being in france. germany already leads may to us multinational bethel group in this way, and yet of some 1000 troops which will be integrated into the new brigade. the german defense minister also used the occasion to sign the german soldiers stationed already in this way. now, as part of the traditional christmas trips, as it is hoped that the new german brigade will help secure nato's eastern border, it will likely be fully operational by 2027. and we'll leave you this out with some incredible pictures

nato's eastern flank needs to be strengthened quickly as the situation becomes increasingly tense with russia announcing a significant increase in military spending next year. the threat is therefore increasingly serious for germany as well. the russians already allocate a third of the budget for military needs, but we are still arguing how much we should spend on the army, one and a half or 2%. russian military-industrial enterprises operate in three shifts, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, such volumes of military products, like the russians we... but what kind of sad news for pious poles, no matter what day you find yourself, there will always be someone who will knock from below. came, of course, from the usa. in the state of virginia, the newly minted president of the fairfax county school board, taking office, took a professional oath, not as it should be in the bible, on a stack of gay porn, which he was holding in his hands, he, don’t be surprised, was being held in the hands of his husband, god, forgive me america, at least those americans, and they say there are as many as 25

british american and french soldiers lived in western germany to help protect what was then the eastern flank of nato. now since the collapse of the soviet union, of course, the eastern flag has moved eastwards the baltic. countries for example, became suffering and of the use of the soviet occupation they want to remain suffering. and there is a very tangible fear here in those small bolted countries that russia might one day attacks them. and so the idea of establishing this permanent lithuania brigade to send german soldiers here on a permanent basis is also to help the tough russia from even thinking about attacking those small voltage states. so the 1st couple of soldiers will be arriving here, but the whole brigade itself with all the tags that cetera is going to be fully operational by $27.00. a couple of open questions remain, of course, especially regarding long term financing boards. the story is the defense minister who we just had said that it costs roughly $25.00 to $30000000.00 euros a month to run the brigades at home. so you have to add all the fire and deployment costs, etc. but he s

nato members. he is convinced that romania, which is today the eastern border of nato, will no longer be the borderto, this border will move further east. such things are simply not said. the signal is really good. well, the swedes we are also incredibly pleased. the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of sweden visited the ukrainian front line, met with artillerymen, with infantrymen of the 45th separate artillery brigade, who... previously studied in sweden, evaluated their combat work, and in parallel with this information, ignat tells about the fact that the transfer of ukrainian swedish fighters, ukraine swedish gripen fighters - this is a good option for us, again we mentioned this, because the swedes are making a new improved version for themselves and, accordingly, they will probably be able to transfer their old gripes, but we will be happy, we will continue...

with this way near brigade, germany aims to help strengthen nato's eastern slang. since specialists invasion of ukraine and february 2022, the bonus van has redefined its goals. the focus is now on national defense and strengthening nato. today, the milestone is that very new project and the very impressive project. i think we science of roadmap, as is absolutely new for germany, absolutely new for the business with the 1st time we do that. it's a huge challenge, but we are really willing to do it. and we are keen on being successful together with our leasing and friends. germany already leads may to us multinational bethel group in this way, and yet of some 1000 troops which will be integrated into the new brigade. the german defense minister also used the occasion to sign the german soldiers stationed already in this way. now, as part of a traditional christmas trips visit, it is hoped that the new german brigade will help secure nato's eastern border. it will likely be fully operational by 2027. this is the day we will see you tomorrow, [000:00:00;00] the see co

poland is also arming itself; they are calling for an increase in military potential of nato's eastern flank to confront russia. at the same time in the usa. already weapons, according to secretary of state blinken, the provision of military assistance to ukraine became a stimulus for the growth of the american economy, and about 90% of the funds allocated for kiev do not hide the true purpose of increasing supplies remained in the united states, with american manufacturers. this is a story about a real miracle and high-level professionalism. at the republican scientific and practical center for pediatric surgery, a newborn girl was successfully corrected for tracheal stenosis, which had formed with a diameter of only one. meter. this prevented the child from breathing properly. such a threshold is incompatible with life. in addition, the baby was born with pneumonia. at the time of the operation, the girl was 14 days old and weighed only 1.950 g . this is the first time work of such complexity has been carried out; the surgeons did the almost impossible. according to foreign literatur

for a second, if the entire eastern flank of nato is under attack, and we are not afraid to attack iting nato, ukraine would be safe, because that’s how the economy of threats works. only orban is trying to play this scheme in his own way and is scaring nato itself. if ukraine joins, it will provoke a world war. and at the same time he explains that the eu is not ready and cannot accept it. it is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. valeria alyokhina tried to understand if zelensky is trying to play the way he was played allies, frightening the russian threat, base all their calculations on this, why could he lose his carte blanche as a result? after all, they ’re not just cutting off his budget, but a bundeswehr deputy is already announcing: we were assured that the ukrainians would fight like lions, but there are already 600,000 of them in europe, 220 in germany alone . that’s 10 divisions that can be sent to the front. that is, he announces to zelensky directly. why do you think we owe you anything, huh? these people don't fight for you. today, many of us can live, work

the baltic states continue to strengthen nato's eastern flank, estonia, the united states signed a defenseon agreement in washington 2024-2028. the document provides for america's military presence in estonia, contributions to development and divisions, as well as work in the field of cyber defense and joint procurement for the baltic countries. the agreement also includes cooperation in exercises and the development of infrastructure to host allied units. in addition, tallinn will continue to cooperate with the us department of defense in training the ukrainian military. an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experience to take new steps in the technosphere. the innovation forum brought together 350 people in minsk. these are representatives science, business and just those who need it. this topic is interesting. at the science forum there are exhibits that show the capabilities of the sensational artificial intelligence. on the agenda are also prospects in the field of agrotourism, discoveries in medicine, and training in the principles of trade. the science and business forum has been

base, which is a strategic training ground for nato and an important component of the defense of nato's eastern on rotation here, joining their estonian nato counterparts. part of the us army's famed 101st airborne division, the 1st battalion, 187th infantry regiment, arrived here only a month ago. commander, lt. col. jered wagner says the troops' arrival and acclimatization went well. we continue the work of our colleagues, so these first few weeks have been a great experience as we join our partners. and the mission is great, you know, we're going to train and build readiness and interoperability with the estonian defense forces. in response to the russian invasion of ukraine , about 20,000 american troops. were mobilized throughout central and eastern europe. currently around 100,000 american servicemen are stationed in europe in support of nato allies. the mission of our battalion is to be here and cooperate with the estonians. us army europe conducts multinational exercises across europe. and our position here is this strategic location in the baltics that allows us to deploy forces anywhe

the border directly harms the national security of both ukraine and poland, as well as nato itself, because the easternders of nato some unknown people control all military cargo, if earlier, when i was driving, for example, from warsaw to kyiv, i saw a huge number of cars, and convoys with military equipment were lost among these cars , now, when the cars are blocked, to determine what exactly is moving military equipment is not a problem at all, but our... the president never addressed either nato or andrzej duda. previously, zelensky was very proud of his special relationship with the president of poland. even the servant of the people faction in the verkhovna rada staged a political provocation against they demanded that the newly elected seimas deal with the border problem. although at that time the government of law and justice was still finalizing its mandate. think about what we do. we appeal to the newly elected senate and diet, which does not have its own prime minister. prime minister muravetskyi, president duda. they run the government, they are responsible for blocking the roads, they do n

without which, as biden said, could lead to the fact that putin could find himself on the eastern border of natoon the eastern border of europe. let's start with iryna gerashchenko, mrs. iryna, please, yes, we are following up. the news is all from washington very carefully now, and indeed there have already been meetings between president zelensky and the speaker of the house of representatives, after which mr. johnson stated that it was a warm meeting, but at the same time he emphasized his unchanged position on tying aid to ukraine to the border. of course, we all sincerely wish success to the ukrainian delegation, because the stakes are very high, and this aid is for ukraine. is vital, at the same time the truth is that the stakes have been raised very high in the united states, the election campaign has actually started, and for the republicans the border issue is fundamental, and i think they do not see such a chance now, an opportunity to push this their a requirement in order to get some kind of compromise solution here, but i think that without a concession on the border issue it will b

british american and french soldiers were helping to protect the eastern plank at the time the eastern plank of nato, the west, the military alliance, which at the time was western germany. so now the eastern flag has moved east woods and the bolted countries of very much members of the european union, the members of nato. and they say they need more protection. this threat from russia is very real when you walked around the streets here of the capital building is, for example, are lots of ukrainian flags. and basically something where they say the least weighing a brigade will actually make a difference. it will help to turn russian from even attempting or thinking about attacking the small bolted countries. now, a couple of open questions remaining, especially when it comes to long term financing. the 7 defense minister says that it costs roughly 25 to 30000000. yours a month to run the brigade at home, so you have to add foreign deployment bonuses, etc. so far as the story is said, there is no way around it. if we want to counter and put something against versus red, that means i want to pick up

nato. he is convinced that romania , which is today the eastern border of nato , will no longer be the border of nato, this border will move further east, such things are simply not said, the signal is really good, and the swedes also make us incredibly happy, the commander-in-chief of the swedish armed forces visited the ukrainian front line, met with artillerymen and infantrymen. of the 45th separate artillery brigade, who previously studied in sweden, evaluated their combat work, and in parallel with this information ignat talks about the fact that the transfer of swedish gripen fighters to ukraine is a good option for us, again we mentioned this, because the swedes are making a new improved version and accordingly they will probably be able to transfer their old gripen to us, and we will be happy, further on... we will talk about the following: ukrainians are not broken even by russian kazimats, this is proved by political prisoners of the kremlin in the so-called case of sentsov, who after being captured and in russian colonies volunteered to the front to beat the invaders. oleksiy chern

in short, i would like to note that the level of military presence the united states, nato countries, eastern as those adjacent to the republic. belarus remains at a high level in the polish and baltic countries. we have planned a set of measures to increase activity, namely the protection of the state border in the airspace was planned by the most prepared crews in a reinforced composition. also, the introduction of reconnaissance was organized by a reinforced staff of the most prepared. accounts for this we used all the modern means that came into service with our armed forces, such as the valar, rosa rb, vostok, su-30 sm aircraft, mi-35m helicopters, as well as the s-400 triumph anti-aircraft missile system. in addition, in order to avoid provocation on the southern border, the best were withdrawn from the mission area. a unit of the thirty -eighth air assault brigade, 103 airborne brigade to carry out missions and provide cover. interaction with the state border committee of our southern borders, also duty units with reduced terms have been appointed at permanent deployment points readine

after all, such a step will push nato's eastern flank away from poland and increase its security. ukraine's membership in nato, as well as accession, is possible. to the european union fully meets the interests of poland - said duda and emphasized the need for joint actions with the new government to implement ukraine's intentions to join the eu and nato. representatives of the new government of poland were also present at the meeting led by prime minister donald tusk. and already on friday in kyiv, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi met with the new head of the ministry of foreign affairs of poland. gladly. de said that the polish side is preparing an official visit by the head of the polish government, donald tusk. and this obviously increases the chances of unlocking the western border for our goods. the vast majority of ukrainians are going to celebrate christmas in 2023 according to the new church calendar, i.e. december 25, according to poll data. prime minister of ukraine denys shmehal said that in 2023 in ukraine, christmas on december 25 is an official working da

ukraine's accession to nato is also important for his country, because such a step will push nato's easternk away from poland and increase its security. ukraine's possible membership in nato, as well as joining the european union, is fully in poland's interests, duda said and emphasized the need for joint actions with the new government to implement ukraine's intentions to join the eu and nato. representatives of the new government of poland headed by prime minister donald tusk were also present at the meeting. and already on friday in kyiv, ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky met with the new head of the polish foreign ministry, radoslaw sikorsky, where he said that the polish side is preparing an official visit of the head of the polish government, donald tusk. and this obviously increases the chances of unlocking the western border for ours. the vast majority of ukrainians are going to celebrate christmas in 2023. according to the new church calendar, that is, december 25. this is evidenced by the data of public opinion polls. the prime minister of ukraine, denys shmegal, said that in

money without which, as biden said, could lead to the fact that putin could end up in the eastern . the border of nato, that is, the eastern border of europe. let's start with iryna gerashchenko. mrs. iryna, please. yes, we follow the news very carefully now, all from washington. indeed , there have already been meetings between president zelenskyi and the speaker of the house of representatives, after which mr. johnson said it was a warm meeting, but at the same time emphasized his unchanged position on the aid peg. to the border , of course, we all sincerely wish the ukrainian delegation success, because the stakes are very high, and for ukraine this assistance is vitally necessary, at the same time, it is true that the stakes have been raised very high, in the united states the election has actually started campaign, and for republicans the issue of the border is fundamental, and i think they now see such a chance, an opportunity to push. this requirement of yours in order to get it here some compromise solution is possible, but i think that without a concession on the border issue it will still be

last 10 days, says that putin can go further, he can pass through ukraine and approach the eastern border of natohat is, to poland, and this is a danger, because when he addressed the congressmen a week ago, he talked about the fact that it is necessary to pass this aid package to ukraine, because we do not want, if you do not want american ... soldiers to fight on the european continent, given the fact that biden, as i will repeat, once again, always says things that are verified, it is clear that based on some intelligence, as it was on the eve of the attack of the great, you remember how he said at the briefing, the journalist asked him if he could putin has yet to postpone his decision on attack on ukraine, he said: "no, he has already decided everything, he just turned around and left biden, but given the level of awareness, what do you think, that is , biden, well, he is not bluffing in this case, he says what he surely knows, well, i think so, first of all there is general intelligence data, plus, of course, putin's plans are clear, and you know, for me, what is more revealing is not even

where will he move next, because further ahead is nato's eastern flank. of supporting ukraine is too high now, just imagine how much higher it would be, not only in national wealth, but in american blood if he were to act against one of our nato allies, because... said the us president, we are very we take our obligations under article five seriously. it will spill. american blood. they have never asked for money for ukraine before. at the same time , democratic senators continued to scare republicans. russophobe, chris murphy. he complained that trump supporters were not taking the situation with ukraine seriously enough. the question, according to murphy, is an important one. he believes that american legislators are now actually making a decision. what is kyiv like? russian city or. after all, ukrainian, also a democratic senator believes that without american billions, ukraine will cease to exist in a year and will become part of russia. and some republicans really listened at the next debate when us presidential candidate nikki haley tried to say tha

the territory of ukraine and potentially, this will threaten the security of at least the eastern flank of nato, so, accordingly, britain is considering the option of sending some limited contingent of its own military to the territory of ukraine in order to presumably help the armed forces of ukraine to solve some specific combat tasks on the contact line, well, but there was an official rebuttal both from the prime minister and the british ministry of defense, because at that time it was about, let's say, ensuring security, sending additional training missions, yes, i.e. the personnel of the british military, who should carry out the training of the ukrainian military already on the territory of ukraine in order to speed up this process and so that the armed forces of ukraine do not wait there for the next... a group of ukrainian servicemen will return from rotation there from training in great britain, and so in order to ensure the safety of these instructors on the territory of ukraine, and the option of sending the british military was considered, but from the very beginning of the russian

we then activated nato's defense plans, which involved redeploying defense forces to nato's eastern borders. it was a very dramatic day. shortly after that i spoke with president zelski and expressed his support to him. you knew the invasion was coming, there was a lot of intelligence, but did you expect it to be this big? yes, because we saw a large military build-up, we saw a build-up in the south, in the east and in the north, in belarus, we had pretty accurate information about the plans of the russians, their intention to take control of ukraine, so at least we were prepared for a full-scale invasion of such a large scope, because we saw all the groups that gathered on ukrainskyi border the whole world recognizes today. that in general the war started in 2014, now we have been in this armed conflict for almost 10 years in a row, you also know this, and ukraine is not a member... nato and from the beginning of this aggression, everyone was afraid of this so-called escalation factor, was it difficult convince all allies to support ukraine on the scale they are doing now. in general, i am

and frankly our eastern flank nato partners, so countries like poland, romania, and the baltics. this actually increases the risk that they may send troops or they may take more vigorous action. they don't want russia to win and have russia on their doorstep. >> if these talks break down and congress leaves for the holidays at the end of the week and that's it, there's no aid for ukraine, is this a win for putin? >> it's absolutely a win for putin. and, frankly, what really bothers me is that it's dysfunction in congress, dysfunction in the house that's leading to this point. national security has always trumped other political -- domestic political concerns, and here that's not the case. we think about what are the impacts? what are the pimpacts in virgina and nationally? when russia attacked ukraine last year, gas prices spiked. why is it important that we support ukraine? it's not only values, but there are also sort of national security interests and local interests, domestic interests. food prices spiked as well. so you're paying more at the grocery store. we're an interconn

holidays, in short, i want to note that the level of military presence of the united states, nato countries, in eastern as well as in the countries of poland and the baltic countries adjacent to the republic of belarus, remains at a high level, we have planned it. a set of measures to increase activity, namely the protection of the state border in the airspace is planned by the most prepared crews in a reinforced composition, and reconnaissance is also organized by a reinforced personnel of the most trained calculations, for this we used all the modern equipment that entered service with our armed forces, such as valar, rosa rb, vostok, su-30 sm aircraft, mi-35m helicopters, as well as the s-400 triumph anti-aircraft missile system. in addition, in order to avoid provocation on the southern border, the best units of the thirty-eighth airborne assault brigade and the 103rd airborne brigade were withdrawn to the task area to carry out tasks. and cover in cooperation with the state border committee of our southern borders. they are also located at permanent deployment points. duty units with shortened rea

integration of sweden and finland into the alliance, the increase in the military presence of nato troops in easternurope, the baltic and black sea regions, as well as in the arctic has a negative impact on the situation in europe with the prospect of increased confrontation. the intensity of activities remains high. operational and combat training conducted by nato joint forces. every year, about forty major exercises are held near the western borders of russia, the scenario of which is based on armed confrontation with our country. increasingly , states that are not members of the alliance. at the same time, the west seeks to create new ones. the usa is preventing the normalization of peaceful life. russian security forces. illegal mining continues in the northeast of the country, under the auspices of the united states. it should be noted that the irresponsible policy of the united states has led to another round of escalation of the situation in the middle east. thus , the long-term palestinian-israeli confrontation resulted in open armed confrontation with numerous casualties among them. the si

in our film. four slovaks and several dozen poles blocked the almost 600 km long border. eastern borders of nato unknown people control all military cargo. it didn’t happen, don’t let the gentleman take it off, okay, we poles should, like everyone else, benefit from this conflict, and not just be a strategic bumper, we have a hot situation on the ukrainian-polish border, there is a war, dill will never be close to me, never won't be my brother, it's time to cut off this gangrene, we came here to ravorusk to the ukrainian-polish border, you see, there are almost no trucks, because all ukrainian trucks, that is, trucks, are on that side. they are blocked by unworthy polish politicians and polish people carriers backlogs, they are already estimated in direct losses in the region of 400 million dollars, in indirect losses already several billions. the poles are not our friends, but only occasional allies. they only helped ukraine out of fear, nothing more. we have few enemies in slovakia and hungary. what are we doing these provocations for? the party of law and justice has lost power and is trying

the deployment schedule of the brigade to the eastern flank of nato directly on the border with russia was signed jointly with the lithuanian minister of defense arvidos anushavskes. according to the plan, german troops will arrive in lithuania permanently, starting from 2024. the core of german the brigade will consist of five battalions, including tank and artillery battalions. never before has the bundeswehr deployed its forces on a permanent basis outside germany with a fixed contingent of soldiers. in the past, missions have always been temporary and variable. this is happening for the first time. let me remind you that we are talking about 4,800 soldiers and about 200 civilians who will begin their mission on a permanent basis as early as 2027. the russian army is putting more and more pressure on avdiivka. the enemy tries to sharpen the city from all sides, uses more directions for assaults. this was announced by the head of the military administration of the city, vitaliy barabash. he added that there are hundreds of shellings per day around the city, about 40 massive shellings

essential approaches from germany, it is very important from the point of view that the security of nato's eastern flank is being directly strengthened. germany also plays a role in this, because literally on december 18, the day before, the relevant protocol was signed on the plans to deploy another german brigade in lithuania, and it is very well received in lithuania, and let's just say , they expect it, well, it should happen within 2024, and in general, from what is visible, today finland is being strengthened very significantly, you can see that the finns are parallel with the entry into... nato, it turned out to them is not enough, and in addition they signed a separate agreement with the united states, which gave, this agreement gave the opportunity to use finnish airfields and ports for american planes and ships, respectively, that is , to strengthen in this way, and in the end , this is what russia is trying to form in for the leningrad district there and so on, it is... to a certain extent, if they concentrate their forces there, the troops, where in what way even to their advantage, be

also during the meeting , canada announced the expansion of its presence on nato's eastern flank, in particular in poland. almost all the main ships of the black sea fleet have already left sevastopol. they were moved to novorossiysk. some of the ships are carriers of caliber missiles. according to satellite images , there are four submarines, two patrol vessels, two frigates, and several small ones in the port of the russian city. missile ships and minesweepers. the operation to relocate the black sea fleet from crimea has started a few months ago. the occupiers were nipping at the heels of the threat of stormshadow cruise missile strikes, which ukraine received from western partners. almost two years ago , the russian occupiers staged a genocide of ukrainians in the kyiv region. according to official data, more than 1,700 bodies of tortured and executed people were found in the buchan district alone. cities and towns of the region are learning to live anew. how the fates of ordinary people who survived the occupation of russian barbarians turned out, see below. butch the name of th
