00:03:45Hello everyone who is watching us now, this is Slava News, which can also be watched on
00:03:48Espresso, in the studio Oksana Vysochenska. And we start
00:03:52with the hottest news. A Russian attack drone hit
00:03:56a high-rise building in Kharkiv on the morning of October 12. There was
00:03:59extensive destruction of the upper floors, said Mayor
00:04:03Ihor Terekhov. We will find out more details
00:04:06very soon and inform you.
00:04:10Ukraine supports all real and reliable formats for ceasefire and
00:04:14war. Kyiv is ready not to strike Russian
00:04:17energy and counts on a similar readiness from Russia and on
00:04:20the agreement of the President of the United States of America on this.
00:04:24The Armed Forces received all necessary orders. This
00:04:28was stated by Volodymyr Zelenskyy
00:04:30in an address on October 11 in response to Trump's post about
00:04:34Ukraine and Russia allegedly agreeing to a so-called
00:04:37energy truce. The President of Ukraine emphasized that this
00:04:41is good news and it is important that it becomes part of
00:04:44reality. At the same time, the State Duma of the Russian Federation reported that they
00:04:48have no information about such agreements, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:04:51of Ukraine on the same evening, after Zelenskyy's address, published
00:04:55a statement that the Kremlin did violate the truce
00:04:59immediately after its announcement, striking the Kharkiv
00:05:02TPP-5.
00:05:05There is a statement from the President of the United States that
00:05:08an energy ceasefire has been reached.
00:05:12This is good news for everyone, it is important
00:05:16that it becomes
00:05:18part of all real and
00:05:21reliable formats for ceasefire
00:05:24and end of war. Ukraine
00:05:27is ready not to strike Russian
00:05:30energy and we count on similar
00:05:34readiness from Russia and on
00:05:37the agreement of the President of the United States
00:05:40of America. Regarding this. We...
00:05:43We welcome such an agreement.
00:05:46The administration of US President Donald Trump threatens to stop
00:05:50supplying American weapons to Ukraine if the defense
00:05:53forces do not stop striking Russian energy
00:05:56infrastructure. This is reported by the Financial Times with
00:05:59reference to European officials who learned about
00:06:02telephone conversations between American officials and representatives of Ukraine and
00:06:06Europe. According to the publication, Washington also threatened
00:06:10to stop intelligence sharing with Kyiv and block
00:06:13the Pearl mechanism, through which NATO countries purchase American weapons
00:06:17for Ukraine. The White House declined
00:06:20to confirm or comment on these
00:06:22reports.
00:06:25Ukraine uses asymmetric strikes to reduce
00:06:28Russia's ability to launch ballistic attacks. In
00:06:32September and early October, the defense forces hit eight Russian
00:06:35launchers, destroyed three, and damaged
00:06:38five more. This was reported by Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara.
00:06:42According to him, these strikes have already forced Russian troops to cancel
00:06:45or change planned attacks. At the same time, existing
00:06:49and potential supplies of missiles for air defense
00:06:52are insufficient to completely protect Ukraine from
00:06:55ballistics. Therefore, Kyiv continues negotiations with
00:06:58partners on accelerating supplies. Khmara emphasized
00:07:02that Ukraine needs dozens and hundreds of missiles, not single
00:07:05deliveries. The minister also emphasized that the effectiveness
00:07:08of intercepting conventional Russian Shaheds exceeds 90%.
00:07:13And against jet drones, interceptor drones are already
00:07:16being used. In addition, since the beginning of Ukrainian operations against
00:07:20Russian oil refining, according to Khmara, 51% of the Russian
00:07:23Federation's capacity
00:07:25has been disabled.
00:07:29On October 12 and 13, a security forum will be held in Warsaw,
00:07:32at which the Commander-in-Chief of NATO forces in Europe,
00:07:36General Alexus Grenkevich, will for the first time publicly present
00:07:39the theory of victory over Russia. The strategy, which
00:07:43has been discussed at the highest level of the Alliance's military committee
00:07:46in recent months, will be dedicated to the future of NATO and the security
00:07:49of Europe. One of the key guidelines of the strategy is
00:07:522029. It was defined as an important
00:07:56deadline for preparing allies for future challenges. President
00:08:00of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will also join the forum online, and
00:08:03the Ukrainian delegation will be headed by Foreign Minister Andriy
00:08:06Sybiha. He will also present the Russian attack
00:08:10drone Shahed, which is used for
00:08:13Ukrainian cities, and participants will discuss how
00:08:16to limit the production of such drones. In total, the forum
00:08:19will gather about two and a half thousand participants from 90
00:08:22countries, including representatives of NATO, EU governments and
00:08:26the defense
00:08:27industry.
00:08:30Poland and Europe will continue to support Ukraine in resisting
00:08:34Russian aggression. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk
00:08:37assured President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a phone call
00:08:41on October 11. The parties discussed strengthening
00:08:44Ukraine's defense capabilities and the current needs of the Ukrainian
00:08:48army against the background of intensified Russian attacks.
00:08:51Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of joint actions to ensure
00:08:54security. The leaders also coordinated positions ahead of
00:08:58meetings at the EU level in Brussels. The conversation
00:09:01took place before the start of the Warsaw Security
00:09:04Forum.
00:09:08A man who threatened Prime Minister Donald Tusk
00:09:12and Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz was detained in Poland. This
00:09:16was reported by Tusk himself. Earlier, Polish police received information
00:09:20about a possible assassination attempt on the Head of Government and the Head of the Defense
00:09:23Ministry. After that, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski and
00:09:27Special Services Coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak ordered
00:09:30the necessary measures to be taken. According to preliminary information, the threats could
00:09:34have come remotely, and Polish authorities are currently
00:09:37not reporting details about the detainee or the circumstances of the case.
00:09:41Let me remind you, earlier on Sunday morning, the State Security Service
00:09:45received information about an attack by email. According to sources
00:09:48of the Gazeta Wyborcza newspaper, the letter mentioned specific
00:09:52addresses where the Prime Minister and the Minister of
00:09:55Defense could have been, as well as their plans for the near
00:09:58future. The threat allegedly came from a circle of right-wing
00:10:01extremists, and the probable perpetrators were citizens
00:10:05of Poland. Law enforcement officers regarded the threats as indicating
00:10:08a high probability of their realization and convened an extraordinary meeting.
00:10:15Regardless of whether it concerns policemen or
00:10:18employees of the state protection service, we
00:10:21treat this matter with extreme seriousness.
00:10:25The radicalization of youth, about which we have talked so much over
00:10:29the past week, the radicalization of adults, various
00:10:32kinds of threats, some of which later turn out to be
00:10:35ridiculous jokes, but in this case we are talking about
00:10:39a high probability of the actual realization of these
00:11:21the Warsaw Security Forum, there at...
00:11:25the Warsaw Security Forum, where the theory of
00:11:28victory over Russia
00:11:30will be presented, our Natalka Volosatska, a correspondent from
00:11:34Warsaw, a correspondent of Slava, Natalka
00:11:37will follow all the statements, the
00:11:40course of events, and will
00:11:42inform our viewers about all this,
00:11:46so Natalka Volosatska is joining our broadcast,
00:11:49good morning, welcome, Natalka, good morning,
00:11:53hello. Please tell us what will
00:11:57happen today at the Warsaw Security Forum, besides
00:12:00the presentation of the theory of victory over Russia,
00:12:04will there be any other events, or will there be a broad discussion
00:12:07of this theory of victory over
00:12:09Russia?
00:12:12The Warsaw Security Forum will gather 2,500 participants from 90 countries over two
00:12:15days, including representatives of political, military, diplomatic bodies,
00:12:19defense. One of the main
00:12:22events, as you already mentioned, will be a public...
00:12:32Previously, the strategy was discussed only at the highest level of
00:12:35the military committee, which they do not use, say the employees
00:12:39of the State Emergency Service. Well, we haven't
00:12:42used it yet, maybe in winter, then we will
00:12:44use it, but for now we are managing, they just started turning it off, life will show,
00:12:48life will show, yes, and last winter we went, we know, it was difficult,
00:12:52there was no light. but we didn't go, somehow we managed while
00:12:55there is no, there is no year we went, we didn't go,
00:12:59honestly, we sat at home and lit candles, we
00:13:03visited several invincibility points in Kyiv, as of now there are few
00:13:06people everywhere, but the situation will likely change
00:13:10if the weather gets colder, the situation in
00:13:13the energy system becomes more difficult, I have never
00:13:16been there, but I saw that you can charge there,
00:13:20drink coffee or tea there, well, they only set it up yesterday, we haven't been there yet. will we
00:13:23go there? The State Emergency Service deployed
00:13:27five invincibility points in Kyiv, two in Holosiivskyi, two
00:13:30in Obolonskyi and one in Podilskyi districts. If the situation in
00:13:34the energy system worsens, the Ministry of Internal Affairs promises
00:13:38to increase their number both in the capital and in
00:14:27the Warsaw Security Forum, there at
00:14:30the Warsaw Security Forum, where the theory of
00:14:34victory over Russia
00:14:36will be presented, our Natalka Volosatska, a correspondent from
00:14:40Warsaw, a correspondent of Slava, Natalka
00:14:43will follow all the statements, the
00:14:46course of events and will
00:14:48inform our viewers about all this,
00:14:52so Natalka Volosatska is joining our broadcast,
00:14:55good morning, welcome, Natalka, good morning,
00:14:59hello, please tell us what will
00:15:03happen today at the Warsaw Security Forum, besides
00:15:06the presentation of the theory of victory over Russia,
00:15:10will there be any other events, or will there be a broad discussion
00:15:13of this theory of victory over
00:15:15Russia?
00:15:18The Warsaw Security Forum will gather 2,500 participants from 90 countries over two
00:15:21days, including representatives of political... military, diplomatic bodies,
00:15:25defense. One of the main events, as you already mentioned, will be
00:15:28the public presentation of the theory of victory in case of a Russian attack
00:15:31on the eastern flank, the program will be presented
00:15:35by Alexus. Yankevich, previously
00:15:38the strategy was discussed only at the highest level of
00:15:41the Alliance's military committee, this concept is about preparing NATO
00:15:45for a high-intensity conflict, the focus is on 2029, which
00:15:48is considered an important benchmark for the development
00:15:52of
00:15:54the combat readiness of European and American armed forces.
00:15:58The discussion will concern not only deterrence and the development
00:16:01of military and industrial potential, which will allow NATO
00:16:05to effectively respond to possible aggression. According to
00:16:08the organizers of the Warsaw Security Forum, the theory of
00:16:11victory should outline not only a way to delay an attack, but
00:16:14also to convince the enemy that the war against NATO cannot be
00:16:28by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the Minister of Defense, Foreign Affairs and
00:16:31Finance, and also the head of the President of Poland's Chancellery and the head
00:16:35of the National Security Bureau. Sybiha
00:16:45on the possibilities of limiting
00:16:51Russian drone production and
00:16:54cutting off access to components from
00:16:57Western countries, which are actually
00:17:06Volosatska, correspondent of Slava from Warsaw, where
00:17:09the Warsaw Security Forum opens today.
00:17:13In a few hours, the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied
00:17:17Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, Alexus Grenkevich, will present
00:17:21a new alliance strategy at the defense forum in Warsaw, this is the theory of victory, it
00:17:24provides for a rapid repulsion of a possible attack from
00:17:28Russia, as well as the use of innovations, so at
00:17:31this moment we can say that such
00:17:35a report will be and such a report will be broadcast on
00:17:39Slava's YouTube channel from 14:10 to
00:17:4214:40 Kyiv time, well, and this
00:17:46broadcast will be on Espresso TV channel, so
00:17:49don't miss it, what is known about
00:17:53the new plan, see in the next material.
00:17:56Integration of modern technologies
00:18:03into traditional military power. This is how the theory of
00:18:07victory by Alexus Grynkevych can be briefly described. The text of the document was
00:18:10kept in complete secrecy until today, however, some of its
00:18:14provisions still became known to the press. Thus, Bloomberg
00:18:17reports, citing interlocutors, that
00:18:20the new NATO strategy is a so-called roadmap of actions in
00:18:24case of a Russian attack on the Alliance countries.
00:18:27The goal is to deter a potential
00:18:30enemy and prevent war. If an attack
00:18:34happens, NATO must be ready to stop the invasion, show
00:18:37superiority and defeat enemy forces, with special
00:18:41attention to strengthening the defense of the eastern flank, increasing defense
00:18:44spending and training troops.
00:18:48At the heart of the strategy
00:18:51are new technologies, including autonomous drones and
00:18:54target detection systems using artificial intelligence. The Alliance plans
00:18:57to deter a Russian attack with ground forces, cheap
00:19:01drones and systems with minimal crew. The next
00:19:05step is the destruction of the Russian army's command
00:19:09and control systems, so that it cannot effectively
00:19:13coordinate combat
00:19:14operations.
00:19:17At the same time, the document emphasizes the defensive
00:19:20nature of NATO. The Alliance seeks to avoid provocations, but at the same
00:19:23time is ready to jointly counter hybrid
00:19:26threats, from cyberattacks to actions aimed at
00:19:30destabilizing
00:19:30society.
00:19:34Grenkevich's theory of victory is not only a step-by-step response to
00:19:38threats from Russia, but also a warning to the Kremlin's belligerent
00:19:41rhetoric, in particular to threats of invasion, violations
00:19:45of airspace by military aircraft, helicopters and
00:19:48drones, as well as to regular hybrid attacks. There was no detailed
00:19:52joint mechanism of action before this, but the
00:19:55development of the strategy itself was not without discussions,
00:19:58among the questions were where to invest money and what exactly stands
00:20:02behind defense
00:20:03spending.
00:20:08Earlier, the media reported that the US sent questionnaires
00:20:11to NATO allies, all to find out how much they
00:20:15spend on defense and whether they support Donald
00:20:18Trump's policy, this allegedly was supposed to help Washington decide
00:20:21whether to reduce American troops in Europe. Separately, the states
00:20:25asked how many additional military partners they could
00:20:28provide for NATO's
00:20:30common defense.
00:20:35I would add that the Alliance's defense strategy
00:20:37is constantly evolving. Thus, in 2014,
00:20:41after the annexation of Crimea and the start of the war in Donbas, NATO began
00:20:45to strengthen the defense of the eastern flank. In particular, in
00:20:482016, during the summit in Warsaw, member states
00:20:51decided to deploy multinational military
00:20:54units in Poland and the Baltic
00:20:56states.
00:20:59Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine forced NATO
00:21:03to significantly revise its defense plans. At the summits in
00:21:06Madrid in 2022 and in Vilnius in
00:21:102023. Allies agreed
00:21:13to defend every inch of Alliance territory and
00:21:16prepare over 300,000 troops for rapid deployment.
00:21:20Separately, military presence was expanded in Bulgaria, Hungary,
00:21:23Romania and Slovakia. In 2024,
00:21:27the Alliance's main mission became, I quote: "To make it impossible for
00:21:30a potential aggressor any window of opportunity for
00:21:34attack." And already in 2026,
00:21:36a battalion tactical group led by Sweden began
00:21:46aspect, indeed, it is interesting what the plan
00:21:50that will be presented is, we will follow this, let me remind you that
00:21:54on Slava's YouTube channel and live on Espresso,
00:21:56there will be a broadcast with Ukrainian translation of the speech
00:22:00of the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Armed Forces of NATO in Europe, Alexus
00:22:03Grynkevych, he will present a new alliance strategy, the theory of
00:22:06victory, at the defense forum in Warsaw, and now we will
00:22:26concerns the future of the war,
00:22:28or the theory of victory, which
00:22:31will be presented today at the Warsaw Security
00:22:35Forum, much will be said about the human
00:22:38cost of war, where you will participate in
00:22:41panel discussions, how do you currently
00:22:45assess the level of
00:22:48discourse or the level of discussion that is being conducted not only in
00:22:52the Ukrainian information space, but also in the global information
00:22:54space about civilians, about those people
00:22:58who become victims of the Russian-Ukrainian war, and about
00:23:02those killings and about that terror that
00:23:05Russia inflicts
00:23:09on Ukrainians? Well, actually at
00:23:12the Warsaw Security Conference,
00:23:15a large number of participants are traditionally
00:23:18present.
00:23:21This year, this is a fairly high government level,
00:23:24the Minister of Foreign Affairs will be present, people's deputies,
00:23:28both opposition, including public organizations,
00:23:30I am not the only representative of Bohdan
00:23:33Hubko, traditionally present, and it should
00:23:37be noted that despite the fact that the forum is a security forum,
00:23:40that is, such events usually, let's say,
00:23:43are not very receptive to humanitarian issues,
00:23:47that is, issues of civilian population or
00:23:51human rights stories, but the Warsaw
00:23:54Security Forum has always remained quite open to
00:23:57this, and they should be thanked for it, and
00:24:00indeed I will participate in
00:24:04several panel discussions, I will also
00:24:07say that in the evening I will be present at a panel
00:24:10discussion, where the future of
00:24:14Russia will be discussed, frankly speaking, I doubted whether to accept
00:24:17the invitation to this discussion, Garry Kasparov will be
00:24:21present, but due to the fact that this person openly, frankly and
00:24:25practically supports the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I decided to join this discussion, because
00:24:29I believe that Ukrainians should participate
00:24:32in discussions about the future of Russia, because this
00:24:36is a matter of our survival, and as for the topic
00:24:39of the civilian population, it can be said that
00:24:43I also just participated in a meeting, a meeting
00:24:46of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. Again, it is primarily
00:24:50a security platform, but there, too, the topic of
00:24:53the Ukrainian civilian population, shelling
00:24:56that is intensifying, and the approaching
00:25:00winter, are heard, and in particular, they are heard
00:25:04from representatives of the American Congress, although it is very
00:25:07difficult to talk about it now, against the background of the latest decisions
00:25:10of the Trump administration, but
00:25:14it is important that there are still representatives of Congress, including
00:25:17Republicans, who remain... who still
00:25:21support Ukraine, although, of course, I understand that we
00:25:24expect a more proactive position, but they are there, and I
00:25:28hope that in the future this will
00:25:31help us somehow reach a different level
00:25:34of relations with the United States, return to the previous
00:25:37one, yes, but in general, answering your
00:25:40question, this is now one of the key topics,
00:25:44and also an interesting point, perhaps
00:25:47the viewers also know about the information
00:25:50that was yesterday
00:25:51about the prevention
00:25:54of an alleged assassination attempt on
00:25:57the leadership of Poland, and I can
00:26:00tell you that here within the framework of the forum.
00:26:03it seems to me that there were some unprecedented security
00:26:06measures, I think that this also gave the guests, who, let's
00:26:10say, experienced some inconveniences because of this,
00:26:13the opportunity to feel, in fact, the approaching
00:26:17of some kind of warlike
00:26:20mood, yes, I don't want to say in this regard, you know,
00:26:23that this is some kind of wonderful story, yes, and
00:26:27that they need it, but my message is
00:26:31that the war is becoming closer
00:26:33to the EU, I think that especially such
00:26:37countries as Poland, such countries as the Baltic states, are really
00:26:41feeling it first and foremost, to a lesser extent, of course, further
00:26:44west, but still it is much more palpable than
00:26:48even a few years ago, when the full-scale
00:26:51invasion had already begun, but still the war was not
00:26:55so palpable here in the European Union. Maria, if
00:26:59we compare conversations and discussions. the level
00:27:03of threats, so when you communicate with European
00:27:06colleagues, considering, well, even the intensity of the recent
00:27:09various attacks, hybrid attacks
00:27:13on the countries of the European Union,
00:27:17do you feel, well, the seriousness,
00:27:20so to speak, of intentions, the seriousness of threats in these
00:27:24conversations, do experts,
00:27:27politicians, various officials
00:27:30from European countries feel
00:27:33that Indeed, times are changing, and
00:27:36we need to react to them, not just
00:27:39theoretically, but
00:27:41practically.
00:27:43I think it depends, it depends on which country's
00:27:47representatives we are talking to and which
00:27:50representatives we are talking to. Well, the
00:27:53further west you go, the less this threat is felt,
00:27:57it seems to me. And again, unfortunately, my...
00:28:00Most of them are primarily people who
00:28:04deal with human rights, well, and there are still a lot of
00:28:08illusions, still a lot of, I would say,
00:28:11thoughtless pacifism. Yes, this story about
00:28:14peace for everyone and, so,
00:28:18let's give up weapons, and the
00:28:21army, and so on, yes, that is, simply a lack of contact with
00:28:25reality. I'm not saying this is in all cases, but it
00:28:28happens, or let's say, some
00:28:31blindness to
00:28:34the closest threats in the form of the Russian Federation,
00:28:37instead, attention to other conflicts. Yes, I won't
00:28:41go
00:28:43into details now, because again, this is a debatable issue, and I don't
00:28:47want to, let's say, say that some
00:28:50killings of civilians somewhere on another
00:28:53continent are less important than on our
00:28:57continent, but still, yes, that is, there are some threats that are
00:29:00directly for us, and then already some... conflicts that
00:29:03also probably need to be reacted to, it's just that still
00:29:07Russia is the biggest existential threat to everyone, including
00:29:11European human rights activists, yes, and
00:29:14therefore I think it depends, but overall the atmosphere,
00:29:18of course, especially in connection with the latest events, so this
00:29:22hybrid, hybrid attacks that you mentioned and
00:29:25non-hybrid ones as well, yes, they provoke
00:29:28greater such, well, let's say, mobilization.
00:29:33Here in Western countries, in EU countries,
00:29:37well, and it's very palpable from conversations and the general atmosphere, yes, what I
00:29:40said earlier, the general atmosphere, well,
00:29:44it's a military one, let's say. According to the data of the United
00:29:47Nations organization, in the first 8 months of this
00:29:51year, at least 22,202
00:29:5422202
00:29:57civilians died in Ukraine as a result of the war, and another 13,000
00:30:00people were injured. At the same time, since
00:30:04the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Office of the UN
00:30:07High Commissioner for Human Rights confirmed the deaths of at least
00:30:1116,431 civilians, including
00:30:1583 children. Many people
00:30:19were injured. Does this indicate
00:30:22that the killings and
00:30:25injuries of civilians in Ukraine in the
00:30:28Russian-Ukrainian war are
00:30:30Russia's tactic, that it's... not accidental, that it's
00:30:34a systematic killing or a planned
00:30:38killing by the Kremlin, and that this is one of the elements
00:30:42of this war in order to put pressure on
00:30:45the civilian population, in order to terrorize
00:30:48the civilian population, and that this pressure
00:30:52is unacceptable in the conditions of conducting such
00:30:55a war.
00:30:58Yes, I absolutely.
