00:00:00The TV channels Espreso and Slava
00:00:01TV.
00:00:14believe that currently the Ministry of Defense
00:00:17has missed the moment regarding the fight against reactive
00:00:21Shaheds. Let them sort it out, whether it's the previous team, or even
00:00:25the previous
00:00:30has not been 100% worked out, and that's very bad, because these are things that should be
00:00:34predicted in advance,
00:00:36because after that, it's just
00:00:40an arrival, which we can only watch with our eyes. We're back
00:01:04people before 2022 lived 100% in some kind of
00:01:07rose-tinted glasses and thought, well, how can it be? It can't
00:01:11be that the Russians came again in the 21st century,
00:01:14civilization, the internet, television, globalization, everyone
00:01:17knows everything, but to commit genocide
00:01:21like that, in 2022, there were many
00:01:24such people before the start
00:01:51got iPhones, they communicate
00:01:55with the whole world, they can fly somewhere, correspond
00:01:59with someone. They remained the same Russians who
00:02:02in the conditional year 1933 organized the Holodomor on the territory of our state and
00:02:06exported everyone who was undesirable, could
00:02:10afford to speak a word,
00:02:13which somehow
00:02:20the context of all our quarrels around mobilization,
00:02:23around bossification. Yes, there are also problems, Mr. Roman, we are
00:02:32there will be, but these
00:02:36after the Russians come,
00:02:43the front, what is happening, do you remember how they publicly
00:02:46abused soldiers, cut off their body parts? Well, these are the same
00:02:50Russians who we hope that they came to the 21st century
00:02:54and changed somehow. No, these are the same Russians who were in the 17th,
00:02:5718th, then throughout the entire century when we were
00:03:00part of the USSR, this
00:03:03is, and they are still doing it. People who were already
00:03:07raised with iPhones, with computers, and this only
00:03:10gives them the opportunity to communicate. Further, they
00:03:13are doing what they
00:03:28now, because, well, he said not to staff
00:03:32assault battalions and companies yet, and
00:03:35everyone is waiting for some changes. The president said that
00:03:39one of Fedorov's problems is that he did not implement
00:03:42effective changes in the mobilization process, and here
00:03:45the question is, in principle, are these effective changes in the conditions
00:03:48of such a total war
00:03:51of mutual destruction, are these effective methods to improve
00:03:55mobilization, where are we
00:03:58now?
00:04:01Well, the movements that exist, I spoke with the leadership
00:04:04of the Ministry of Defense today, they are doing something, and I
00:04:08know that in the previous two months there
00:04:11was, let's say, I won't say it failed, but
00:04:15it was smaller from all these stories that were, statements about the fact that
00:04:24to personnel replenishment, they lead to people
00:04:40some processes
00:04:43but we haven't seen anything in the committee yet.
00:05:00fairer, we give proposals, but many
00:05:02things are already exhausted, well, I look at examples of other countries, well,
00:05:06nothing, you can't invent anything,
00:05:22if a person does not want to, he, uh,
00:05:25he is obliged
00:05:35of the state to protect and help those guys who
00:05:38are already on the front line, so we'll see
00:05:51yet decided, look, we have recruiting centers,
00:05:54just go there, come in, find positions for yourselves, join
00:05:58the defense forces and
00:06:15Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the USA in
00:06:20head of the board of the Ukrainian Crisis
00:06:31just a few minutes ago that he had the opportunity
00:06:34in the format of geopolitical dialogues
00:06:37to hold a discussion with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United
00:06:41Kingdom of Great Britain.
00:06:56Fedorovych Zaluzhny just a day or two
00:06:59ago made a rather critical
00:07:02statement regarding Ukraine's
00:07:05We already pulled it out of context,
00:08:03for a long time, called Geopolitical Dialogues, in this
00:08:06format we meet
00:08:09with people who are specialists in the field
00:08:12of diplomacy first of all, here's such an emphasis, well, and
00:08:16a vision of the strategy of world development. And
00:08:19my guests included diplomats you know,
00:08:23Volodymyr Yelchenko, Yuriy Shcherbak,
00:08:25Ambassadors Klimkin, Prystaiko, former ministers
00:08:28Hryshchak, Oleh Stanislavovych, well,
00:08:39he's not a diplomat, but I believe his opinion
00:08:43is visionary and his
00:08:45scenarios, his
00:09:11Ambassador Zaluzhny. Well, and his team, who found
00:09:14the opportunity to make this event happen, because direct
00:09:18communication, you know, with journalists, direct communication with
00:09:22experts who were present with us, serious specialists,
00:09:26this removes all these layers that we would
00:09:29have heard. Well, Ambassador Zaluzhny, he
00:09:33said so about the NATO question,
00:09:36I asked these questions,
00:09:53there is no precise assessment of what was voiced in the media, such torn pieces, but he agrees with it, journalists have the right to do
00:10:11definitely... not what was said there against
00:10:15NATO, on the contrary, he mentioned how much he did
00:10:19in terms of countering the development
00:10:22of integration with NATO, deepening
00:10:29reflection on whether we should constantly
00:10:32wait for NATO, which is not ready now
00:10:36to meet even Russian aggression, that is,
00:10:39to wait for this accession, we need to do something now, and as
00:10:43an option, he proposes NATO reform,
00:10:46this is actually, even taking into account the Ukrainian
00:10:56these were not called regional alliances, I
00:10:59called them that, he cited an example,
00:11:02joint expeditionary forces, these are combined expeditionary
00:11:05forces, such rapid reaction forces led by Great Britain,
00:11:09there are Netherlands, there are eight other North
00:11:13European countries, including new NATO members, Finland,
00:11:16Sweden, the Baltic states, that is, these are countries that are ready not
00:11:20waiting for Article Five of the Washington
00:11:24Treaty. Article four to
00:11:26act as a rapid response, that is, not 72
00:11:30hours to arrive in Lithuania if Russia
00:11:34attacks or in Estonia, but immediately, immediately
00:11:3810,000 will have the opportunity to advance, that is,
00:11:41these are the things Valeriy
00:11:44Zaluzhny proposes, and why not agree with this, that is, I
00:11:48also fully agree that
00:12:01say that such internal regional
00:12:05alliances of NATO countries, they dilute the
00:12:08alliance itself. Well, excuse me, we cannot wait
00:12:11until the alliance reforms, until the alliance finally
00:12:15dares to include Ukraine in its composition, we cannot
00:12:18wait, and such associations will appear within
00:12:22NATO, Ukraine must not fall behind. It must be
00:12:25active, by the way, we are partners in this GFF format,
00:12:29and why we are not yet a
00:12:56conversation, the impressions are completely
00:12:59different, for some reason in our media and foreign, by the way, this
00:13:03spread, that Zaluzhny is against NATO, yes, it spread, I watched
00:13:06an Arab one, some was preparing for a meeting, a conversation,
00:13:10Arab channels, even Russian ones already
00:13:12picked it up, so Valeriy Zaluzhny
00:13:16is quite a straightforward person, and I will tell you that
00:13:19he says some things that we don't really
00:13:22want to talk about, because they are not the most
00:13:25optimistic, he talks about them as things
00:13:29that need to be taken into account,
00:13:31really, and to find answers. Secondly,
00:13:35what strikes me about him is that he speaks very sincerely, he does not
00:13:38avoid such sharp corners, very
00:13:42frankly, so I believe
00:13:45that this discussion with specialists, and
00:13:48it was really very useful for us, but it was also useful
00:13:51for him, he is a unique person in that
00:13:55he combines the experience of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
00:13:58a general, and an ambassador for two years already,
00:14:01so our conversation was about the results in
00:14:04Britain, on what to build our
00:14:42assessment is such that without some
00:14:46new, well, as he said, there's a problem, right, so without
00:14:50a global solution, the war in Europe, the issue of war
00:14:54in Europe will not be resolved, moreover, he
00:14:57raises such questions that we don't really talk about now, don't really
00:15:01discuss, this is what will happen after
00:15:04the war, and what, what are the plans, not
00:15:08recovery, that's such a thing, you know, recovery,
00:15:11how to save our society after
00:15:14the war, what threats exist
00:15:17in this situation, how to generally
00:15:21overcome the huge problems that will arise, that is...
00:15:25we don't pay attention to this, because we need
00:15:32of many present specialists, there are really
00:15:35people specialists. That is, it is what, supporting
00:15:39the position and call of President Volodymyr Zelensky to search, well,
00:15:43the task is given to diplomats, to search for anti-missiles,
00:15:46particularly Patriot-3 against
00:15:49Russian ballistic missiles, we still need to look at the
00:15:53option, not an alternative, but a complementary one, precisely,
00:15:56to strike at installations, at
00:16:00Iskanders, at S-400s, perhaps at
00:16:03some
00:16:05sanctions, chains for
00:16:08details, perhaps some factories are more vulnerable, but we need heavy
00:16:11ballistic missiles, and of course,
00:16:14this is the primary
00:16:21Zaluzhny spoke about this, but before that we had
00:16:24a meeting with Admiral McGomery, who
00:16:28published in the Washington Post, now this is why I will say, we talked about the fact that
00:16:31IRAM missiles on F-16s with appropriate
00:16:35contact with space intelligence plus
00:16:38computer programs and our rapid
00:16:41reaction to suppressing
00:16:44these two new types of missiles, which the Americans have, unlike
00:16:48Patriot-3, which they say they don't have, but they promised us 3,500 of these,
00:16:52this can work to supplement and compensate for our
00:16:55current gap, or such a failure that we
00:17:09from Valeriy Zaluzhny, you know, very
00:17:13forward-looking, well, I would say, he is one of the few
00:17:16strategists who look ahead, and in
00:17:20principle, this is what Ukraine needs, well, and we also emphasized that the military
00:17:24must, this is an important point, whoever is the commander-in-chief,
00:17:27he rated his colleagues very well, and whoever
00:17:31it was, he needs a political task and
00:17:34resources, that is, the military acts according to a political task.
00:17:37We currently have an old national security strategy,
00:17:41it has not been updated, it was before the full-scale
00:17:44invasion, so the military will not decide this themselves,
00:17:48at lower levels, where there are
00:17:51actions, and this is our advantage, horizontal connections, but
00:17:55this link between the supreme
00:17:58commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief, and the commander
00:18:01of corps, it must also somehow
00:18:04be
00:18:46now about the need for more effective European defense, perhaps
00:18:50these are some reforms and a different format
00:18:53of NATO, European NATO, regional NATO with
00:19:00acts, who essentially only understands
00:19:04force. Well, we see in Germany.
00:19:07A drone arrived, well, a huge disaster almost happened, if
00:19:11that ammunition really detonated, and what was in those
00:19:15Ukrainian planes is also unclear, and
00:19:18until there is a decisive answer, European
00:19:21countries are bringing Putin's missiles closer to themselves, like the Poles, who
00:19:25at first couldn't understand
00:19:32this incident almost happened, when, well, potentially
00:19:36and, most likely, the Russians started hitting
00:19:39ammunition that could have been sent
00:19:42to our country, and one can shell any
00:19:45object in Europe and say: in our opinion, there was
00:19:49an ammunition depot for Ukraine, and no one will be able
00:19:53to prove anything. Is Europe ready, is
00:19:56it preparing for this, that this, perhaps, new NATO format
00:20:00would not be purely defensive, but also a little aggressive,
00:20:03at least, preemptive, because this tactic can work with the Russians,
00:20:07or do you? Do they understand this or are they starting to
00:20:25in whatever form it may be, purely European countries or still with
00:20:29the participation of Canada, or even the USA in the future, I don't
00:20:38so whatever it may be, it remains the strongest
00:20:42today, the strongest in
00:20:44assessments, but it has not yet
00:20:47faced, as strange as it may seem, with defensive
00:20:51tasks, that is, it was created, this
00:20:55security and defense alliance against
00:20:58the Soviet Union, against the attack of the Soviet Union, but
00:21:02as a result, it did not
00:21:08those who are members of the alliance, as a result, they acted
00:21:12paradoxically, well, not NATO, NATO countries, in
00:21:16the Middle East, once they applied Article five
00:21:20of the Washington Treaty in 2001, when
00:21:24the USA was attacked, that is,
00:21:27a terrorist attack, then they all rushed together, everyone
00:21:30supported, because it's easier, of course, there
00:21:33the enemy is not nuclear,
00:21:35there's Bin Laden such a truly horrible
00:21:39person, a terrorist, everything, but this, excuse me, this is not
00:21:43a nuclear missile, so everyone rushed to implement
00:21:46Article five, and now they sat down, because
00:21:50it's scary, they don't know what
00:21:56tactic was difficult, Europe,
00:21:59the United States of America suffered, yes, there were terrorist attacks,
00:22:02there were some retaliatory actions, but it worked
00:22:06against criminals, when he
00:22:08was tracked down, they work where they see
00:22:12that the enemy is not such that they would be afraid,
00:22:16so they are really preparing for a clash with Russia, and they are not ready yet.
00:22:23emphasize, and the NATO Secretary General, that NATO is a defensive alliance, NATO
00:22:27cannot go beyond its limits, NATO should not allow
00:22:30escalation, and this is the vulnerability, NATO has
00:22:33never demonstrated what it is worthy of
00:22:37in a clash with a serious adversary, that's one, despite
00:22:41the fact that they are technologically advanced, despite the fact that NATO
00:22:44includes countries that have technologies that neither Russia nor Ukraine have, the USA.
00:22:48Yes, that is, both space and intelligence, but how
00:22:51this will develop, it's hard to say, I will tell you that everything has already happened,
00:22:54NATO was already without France in the military structure, France
00:22:58can leave again, if Marie Le Pen wins,
00:23:02and France leaves the military structures of NATO, can it happen?
00:23:10it was called the Western European Union, this was NATO without
00:23:14the USA and Canada, a truncated NATO, it
00:23:18didn't last long, all structures were created,
00:23:22even some
00:23:37completely, such an organization no longer exists, why? Because they didn't
00:23:41have strategic bombers, space intelligence,
00:23:45a budget of hundreds of billions of dollars back then, now
00:23:48the US budget...
00:23:55or even more will be, imagine that the USA simply
00:23:59surpasses itself in budget by four or five more key
00:24:03NATO countries, so for a long time yet
00:24:06the USA plays a role here, then Europeans will have to take
00:24:14Ukraine, it
00:24:17will be a weak alliance against Russia,
00:24:21if you take it, Russia is weakening, but still, without Ukraine,
00:24:24NATO won't cope now. And who among NATO countries mobilizes
00:24:28a million defense forces, who? Which country
00:24:32mobilizes? Britain, no, France,
00:24:35no, Germany? No. Only Poland, I
00:24:38thought, maybe it could do it, but the Poles, I
00:24:42see, they started to orient their thoughts
00:24:46in a different direction, they are interested in political processes
00:24:50of unification, a missile flew in, it was a test, it was a test,
00:24:53this cruise missile X-101 or 101, it honestly
00:24:57had coordinates laid for it, it only
00:25:00went in somewhat difficult
00:25:03conditions of greater pressure, it was not
00:25:06foreseen, it didn't fly further, next time
00:25:10it will fly, so Poland also needs to think about it, so I think,
00:25:13that the merging of technological efforts of
00:25:16the USA is still more... as they
00:25:20believe,
00:25:22from such prepared and technically
00:25:25equipped units of European
00:25:28NATO countries, and the experience of unmanned
00:25:31systems, and the enormous already
00:25:34experience of the ground component, and not only that, but also
00:25:37the naval, Ukrainian, this
00:25:44next, Putin saved NATO, if Putin
00:25:47had not attacked Ukraine. it would, frankly,
00:25:51continue to lose its bearings, they would not have increased
00:25:55any of their budget, as Trump shook them up,
00:25:59saying, "Come on, defend yourselves, not what you've been...
00:26:02sitting for decades and feeling great,
00:26:06putting everything into the civilian sector,
00:26:09making money, and then when something
00:26:12happens, asking the USA to cover us." No, it won't be
00:26:15like that anymore, so no one can say
00:26:19what will happen in the future, but what needs to be said is that we need to prepare
00:26:23for different scenarios, and the truth is that we don't
00:26:26know what alliance,
00:26:29what union will be in 20 years on the... territory
00:26:32of Europe, that is, it is obvious that Ukraine
00:26:36simply has today its orientations, which is a Western
00:26:40anchor, but this can be transformed. I
00:26:43already said that this will definitely be a gradual withdrawal of the USA, under
00:26:47any government in the USA, this is such a period for them, this
00:26:51will definitely preserve the interest of the United States anyway,
00:26:54presence, there will be bases, because
00:26:57without this, logistics to the Middle East and further to
00:27:01China is impossible, and... they, well, despite the fact that
00:27:04they are preparing for a clash with China, the USA, from only
00:27:08тільки
00:27:10the Pacific, let's say, theater of military
00:27:14operations, it is unlikely that this can be done, well, I mean, like World War II Pearl
00:27:18Harbor, there Australia, New Zealand, Korea,
00:27:21Japan, it will still be necessary to strengthen strategic aviation from this side as well, therefore
00:27:25everything will be as it
00:27:28is, the interests of countries, and Ukraine must orient itself not on
00:27:31slogans. but on its
00:27:39join NATO, we don't need to join NATO, or
00:27:43neutrality will now raise its head, I will only say one thing:
00:27:46Ukraine cannot remain a buffer zone, gray, as we
00:27:50were between Russia and NATO, that's one, Ukraine
00:27:53needs to anchor itself, to latch onto
00:27:55the Western vector of development and
00:27:59put up a wall against Eastern barbarians. a war
00:28:02of missile defense, a shield of missile
00:28:06systems, about which ballistic and cruise, that's what we need to do
00:28:10quickly, because Russia will not change, it will continue
00:28:13to be a very threatening element, whether it will
00:28:17disintegrate, this will threaten refugees and everything, or it will
00:28:21try aggressively to the last to be like the Soviet Union, we'll see,
00:28:24but it will be a threat, and this is a threat for Ukraine,
00:28:39the United States of America, but this week
00:28:42there's a new turn, because Zelensky fired Olga
00:28:46Stefanishyna from this post, and on August
00:28:495th, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and
00:28:52the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office
00:28:55informed the former ambassador Olga
00:28:58Stefanishyna of suspicion
00:29:01yes. of illegal
00:29:05enrichment of over 13.9
00:29:32they comment on this Stefanishyna, someone immediately
00:29:35hates her, even those who previously supported her, let the
00:29:38court deal with it, the problem is elsewhere, why when
00:29:42appointing ambassadors, including Ms.
00:29:44Stefanishyna, we do not adhere to the law
00:29:48on diplomatic service all procedures,
00:29:51relevant checks, and I don't
00:29:55understand this, that is, this vulnerability was there from the very beginning
00:29:58and it did not contribute to
00:30:00the effectiveness of the work. in
00:30:09no law on sanctions,
00:30:12none, those laws that were before, they ended their
00:30:16actions, they are only perceived by inertia there, but the White
00:30:20House can lift all these sanctions, we need a law,
