it is the russian infantry and it is the ukrainian infantry the ukrainian infantry and the international legion unmatched because we are better prepared , we have better equipment and facilities, and we better motivated, the only advantage the russians have on the battlefield is artillery, without artillery they can't do anything. as soon as we neutralize their artillery, we will go on the offensive and no one will stop us. our infantry is better than the russians. the ukrainians are much more determined , that's a fact. simply, if russia stops fighting, the war will end if the ukrainians stop fighting and lose everything . the russians are more determined and will continue to advance in desperation people are being forcibly mobilized, ukraine does not need it, people voluntarily go to fight of their own free will. this is what characterizes ukraine from all sides, can you say that the russians are all they are doing here, can you say that this is a real genocide of the ukrainian people, from my point of view, judging by what i saw here, these are war crimes because they are bombing civilian mi

the international legion, which is now in the right field of our constitution , legally operates afterombat positions, it becomes a combatant and they become competent. the armed forces of ukraine later, er, do not exclude the possibility that in the 16th i will appear with er, american pilots and technicians and er, so, thank you very much for these explanations . roman svitanok, military expert, colonel of the armed forces reserve the military pilot designer was in touch with us now. well, in the meantime, we finished it vadim . it's exactly nine o'clock . news after that, andriy and i will return and spend the next hour, and then we will have a break until two o'clock in the afternoon, and at two o'clock in the afternoon our second part of today's marathon will begin, and now we are actually approaching nine o'clock, and let's honor the memory of our compatriots who died because of we will honor russia with a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia

foreigner became a hero, not an action movie, a british media story about the flight from the international legionp in a rehabilitation center for foreigners. he also told how he experienced the most terrible moment in the life of his unit 40 people, including ukrainians , americans, the british sent our assault on russian positions. we were told that there was a russian line of trenches and our task was to enter the trench to clean them up and hold them until auxiliary units arrived. and then we will be able to return air cover was not even the drones did not raise support , the tanks should have provided, but at some point. they left the positions of the mercenaries thrown to the zero line, according to rimbaud. there was absolute horror. hundreds of those killed appeared in the distance, a tank that the militants mistook for their own shot rang out. the survivors fled into the forest , stumbled upon a pickup truck, the driver of which traveled around. in search of a starlink signal, drowned out by russian means, rap chase began, and now a tank is chasing us, and you are in a pickup truck. xavi

well, plus there are international legions, that is, there are there are different forces, but in principle two armies have earned money and you will not wedge yourself in there just like that, even if you really want to help ukraine . putin obviously did not drop a nuclear bomb, even if he hears that ukraine was accepted into nato. but realistically, if they said we will take you to nato further, it is realistically for this war, for this situation now, to change it specifically now , because it seems to me that in principle it is realistic, it has not changed anything in essence, please, i would change it, you understand nato protects everyone others as they say everyone inch of the territory of the members, that is, they were obliged to help ukraine with everything, including their own troops, to oust the russians. that is, it meant, well, at least the immediate entry of the air force of the alliance countries into the war , and you know how many air forces are in nato simply an incredible amount of aviation much better than the russian one in terms of quality and they would simply clear

that , allow and give the opportunity to the pilots who in retirement, to join the ukrainian international legion, which we have and was formed as part of the armed forces of ukraine, and thus to join the air force of ukraine. actually, it speeded up the process, as it seems to me, but i understand that to date, there is no such decision by the partners regarding the use of airfields of nato countries for departures and flights. that is, it is about the fact that , as far as i know, the infrastructure on the territory of ukraine is being equipped accordingly today and with this let's put it this way, with the runways of other infrastructure , there should be no problems. at least the ministry of defense assures us that it is not. we want to believe that it will be so. and as for the engineering and technical personnel, of course there are also nuances here, because it needs to be prepared quite carefully, we often hear about pilots, but it is just as important to the composition of the story, but it seems to me that this decision is coordinated and everything is prepared comprehensively. therefor

and we spent some time earlier this year on a last trip here in february with a unit of the international legionere we met an american named jason mann, he fought in iraq and afghanistan and went to columbia university and worked at google and he said when the war started, he had no choice but to come here. take a listen. >> this is redefining the global order as we speak. this is democracy versus autocracy. do we want to let autocracy -- >> and that is what is your head when you head out there? >> absolutely. it is the only reason i'm here. >> and on that same trip we met the team leader, he was a new zealander and he was patter of fact about the possibility of dying in ukraine. he said if you're going to there is no better way to do owe so then alongside your friends and for something you believe in. a few days later we did get word that he was killed fighting against the russian side. >> do we know exactly how many foreign fighters have traveled to ukraine since february of 2024? >> not exactly. we believe that the number has tapered off. according to jason mann and others that we believe tha

this is the international legions they are fighting. what do you think for big money?unt of money 500 from 500 to 3,500 dollars paid by mercenaries, that is, you need to look at those idiots who are for benefits on unemployment and from america comes means to fight in ukraine. although everyone understands perfectly well that this is money that the americans give, this money is spent from the budget. it's not some. there are separate private donations. they are paid colossal monetary allowances, which are naturally taken from the citizens of ukraine , again. this is borrowed money. this must be understood, why it is now important for zelensky to promote this topic, because in front of him it is nato when there are no special achievements. gotta talk about what look for us the whole world. everyone is fighting, everyone is coming . volunteers come and join the ranks of international regions. and we don't have enough weapons. we do not have enough funds, and there is still the question of what ukraine means. it moves further and further away from the topic of joining nat

an australian mercenary with the call sign bush, an employee of the ukrainian international legion ,n the military begin to resent them, they threaten them with prison. the bottom line is that for us it is just a meat grinder my comrades were dying and continue to die. we will not continue to serve in an army that treats us badly. we need someone to protect us,” bush told the ukrainian commander in a released entry. he also said that some foreign fighters are not paid at all for their service. actually. that's what we started with, and that's what i'm always interested in. this is a description of the reality of this kind of stories or is it a tone. this is also a sign of fatigue, including in western society and so on, that it appears. because the information about the fact that the ukrainian mercenary was paid to the syrian mercenary with counterfeit dollars went around the social networks, he returned to syria, wanted to buy a car, and it turned out that yes. wants to return to fight, on the other side. perhaps, here, uh, well, in general, an australian mercenary with the call sig

marine veteran died, fighting for ukraine ian frank arturichi volunteered for the ukrainian international legionspending most of his time on the front lines this week. he was killed in a russian strike. the veteran is too young, there is a suspicion that he went on vacation like that and was simply written off retroactively, but in general, such news actually scares away a huge number of other mercenaries from the war on the territory of ukraine for the ukrainian regime, because these western mercenaries are always used to fighting in conditions, when they have a significant advantage over the enemy. for them, it was always an easy ride and easy money. now they are complaining that in ukraine everything is different, let's hear it. according to the american mercenaries, the international region was full of untrained volunteers in which there was no place at the front , some were involved in a military conflict for the first time and ukrainians called the worst task were grueling without any. there was nowhere else for the supporters to hide and go back to fight. mercenaries do not want foreign m
