Fly to the capital almost a dozen shakettype drones German Defense minister Boris Pistorius has once again spoken out against the transfer of taurus longrange missiles to ukraine lithuania and poland warn of possible provocations wangerians on the belarusianlithuanian and belarusianpolish borders about all this and more we will talk for the next hour during this hour we will conduct a survey on youtube and we will ask you about whether putin will appear before an International Tribunal yes no your options for answers please write in the comments under this video at the end of the program, we will look at these comments and get the results of our voting , we are in touch with ihor lapins , a special officer, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine , a peoples deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation , mr. Major, i congratulate you and thank you for joining to our broadcast glory to ukraine glory to the heroes , mr. Major, lets start our conversation with the situation in the south and east of ukraine, how do you currently assess the progress of the Ukrainian Army at the front, to be honest, how can i assess the advancement of our brothers on the blood front, and then with difficult progressive steps , we manage to win back meter by meter , we are now counting distances in meters, yes, that is , today we passed 700 m there, in another day we passed another 700 m, that is, if we compare with what paces russia, lets say, captured these territories and at what pace we are recapturing them, well, we can say, yes, these are incompatible concepts, but nevertheless, its very difficult, its true. And as for the situation in general, well, lets talk frankly in principle, it is not a secret for anyone. This is how we understand the situation under bakhmut, where, in principle, from the north and from the south, our troops advance precisely along the heights, in fact they are doing what we were supposed to do in the 22nd year, to hold the heights and not try, lets say, to hold the Population Centers because the Population Centers if they are in the lowlands, well, that is one story, and the height is the control over a very large part of the territory, unfortunately yes, i will say it again if we are talking today about our counteroffensive, it is very i regret the delay with the transfer of so many forces and means delaying on the side of the western partners because, in principle, the western world is democratically and procedurally clumsy in making such decisions, so all these delays lead to the fact that we, in fact , have to solve the issue of the speed of release with our bodies, and when they start, there are often a lot of experts, especially western analysts somewhere criticize the armed forces that our offensive is slow, now i see a lot of publications like that the other problem turned out to be the slow speed of advancement and in general, the ukrainians do not use the multibilliondollar weapons that were provided to us, so i want to say that my observations on this matter lead to only one opinion nato standards do not meet the conditions of modern war, if according to nato standards , as some are trying to tell lets call them experts in western reputable publications. This means that according to nato standards it is possible to conduct offensive counteroffensive actions, for example , without aviation, or maybe according to some of those nato standards, leopard tanks can be launched without demining the territory, is it possible according to the standards of nato, so to speak, to delay the supply of ammunition and weapons, to make decisions for the provision of tanks , to make decisions for the provision of bmps, that is , to wait until this territory in front of you is mined, i do not know about such standards in countries nato, and that is why i am very sorry to read this in so many respectable publications, allegedly criticizing ukraine for its slow progress. But nevertheless , we are working hard in the southern direction , getting entrenched and preparing for the next attacks. Well sections of the front that look towards tokmak are already looming, lets say so, sections of the front are looming, which in general, well, lets say, are looking in the direction of the sea so as not to give away any military secrets there. Well, the totally mined areas have now reached some milestones, we are preparing, probably, to do more , to do the wind, as they say, they said in the 14th year, but what should i Pay Attention to, we fought back and i would say so, not as expected, but in a systematic way unexpectedly recaptured certain positions near the active site. That is, we advanced. If earlier it was 20 km plus to donetsk, today in some areas it is 15 km plus to donetsk, and in principle it will not be a big surprise to me that this direction, which says the direction of donetsk , will be political, it will be media it will be, well, lets say so powerful. And of course, i dont have Data Intelligence about the enemys forces concentrated there, but based on the situation of the svatov crime direction, thats where the largest reserves are concentrated according to some analysts there they reported that there are up to 100,000 troops and up to 900 tanks concentrated in the direction of crimea by the swats from their occupied side , lymansk e. E. Kupyansk from our side, that is, on this part of the front. About bakhmut, because the russians did there, as they say, i will try the opera and i think that they will use this aroma in order to continue to try to put pressure on our front , it will be really very difficult for the guys there, so you have to prepare and not prepare as hanna told the painter that while lapin was fighting somewhere near popasna under the trinity, it is as if someone there fortified some areas near bakhmut , started building, in principle, the same da vinci , our late brother, who was also not far there in those times, in those periods, also said that there the horse did not lie around, no one built anything there, the soldiers fought off attacks during the day and dug trenches at night, you understand. But nevertheless, we need to strengthen there and make the second and third echelon of defense. From the information i know, certain works should be carried out. I will not criticize there now, or not to criticize, in order to criticize, you need to be in the middle of the border near those borders and have an understanding, they pour concrete there, mine the territory there, just like the russians, or will we again leave at the expense of soldiers and write off money at the expense of military civil administrations . Roughly it looked under the bachmouth and i will not be surprised if it turns out in those areas too, because the story is like that where the front is dynamic on our side we are suffering losses but nevertheless the enemy is suffering even more losses, which is nonsense in general, from the theory of war, because we know that for one defender, well, there must be from three to seven attackers at the same time, we just happen to bear fewer losses there due to the skill, due to the accuracy of our artillery and , of course, due to the skill of the assault groups, which make it very difficult work and it is their honor and glory for it. Well, i can find out about the front today. You have already mentioned , mr. Major, about the minefields that our army is facing. And in the east and south , the sappers in the zaporozhye direction showed how they mined the territory literally with their feet, they talk about the fact that even the bodies of the dead russians are also mined , they mean the orcs, lets see how it all happens. Why is this done . Its a shame that under them there is a betrothed in the kasseyke , they made 64 pieces of them. Yes, she didnt lose seconds. 10 is not enough. You cant do five. This is how sappers demine, well , literally with their feet, the land that was mined the russian occupiers, and frankly speaking, these surovikin lines, which have already been discussed in the south of ukraine, are also built from the point of view of the military, correctly or not, mr. Major, of course, we can see how long we can go to the surovikin line, we only reached one place to that line, and all that was in front of it was a minibullet, except for the districts and the pylons, their pylons, and you wont go around, you wont jump over, you wont climb under, why dont you demine, instead , delaying with vehicles, well, lets say this with demining equipment. We have seen at the beginning of our fullscale counteroffensive, and it was these delays that led to the fact that we did not have such an opportunity to quickly clear mines, and the russians during this time packed every meter of ukrainian land, and this is true, and in this case there are other pitfalls. Well, i also encountered where they they put them one by one so that my car is mineclearing. Well, the mineclearing technique. So that even she could not cope with such barriers, that is, one mine blew up somewhere there, something jumped up, the technique moves forward, jumps over a row lying mine, this is just the frame now says that if there are such a number of mines in a 50 by 50 area, then you can imagine that every half a meter is mined further to our sappers. Kudos, because there are even such situations that what they demined at night the russians remotely detonate mines, they have the ability to remotely detonate, and further assault actions of assault groups are again exposed to minefields, so the story is very simple. I dont know such nato standards where they attack without demining. I dont know of nato standards, where you can fight and think without aviation. Look, now we have the month of august. Yes, the plan of measures for the training of our pilots has not yet been approved. That is, we remember when there were different people. He walked with a tie in a suit, which plane was painted like that. That is. We remember how much time has passed. Well, there are no planes , and longrange missiles, and there are no such attacks. The germans recently said that the german minister of defense will not provide us with missiles for the time being. Well, america did not provide the attacks, although in principle the same attacks from the americans should now be replaced with longerrange ones, well, that is, those 300 km range should be replaced with 500 km ones. And we are still using those about 150, although, in principle , why dispose of what can be transferred to ukraine, well, i emphasize once again now i do not want to in any way, you know, to instill in our ukrainians such thoughts, well, despair in the support of western partners, but i want to draw the attention of western partners that they do not give aid to ukraine, this is not humanitarian aid for ukraine no, this is an investment in our own peaceful sky, this is an investment in the preservation of our own nato soldiers, it is not just like that, you know how they serve us something for poverty, it is not, it should not be like this if they want to have a peaceful sky as their head and do not want to feel the russian boot in them in the country they have to invest, they make millions of billions of dollars in armaments. Well, why cant these armaments deter the enemy on distant approaches . Will they wait for the wagners to all enter the soval bridgehead, for example, in it, of course, thats why history, i consider this investment and they should continue it, well, in the same spirit, but much more at our pace, and again, there are programs of american aid, which, if i am not mistaken, 44 billion were allocated to us , and there are other programs, and it is within the limits those estimates, those 44 billion, they expire now in september. And further on, the congress has to vote on the budget, changes to the budget, and so on, but according to these programs, if we say that we were allocated 44 billion, then i want to tell you that there was not a single penny allocated for the financing of the socalled lendlease, which we all talk about, and if there is no money for a loanlist, there is no lendlease. I understand that some people are confused in our state, what is a lendlease, and do you have to pay for it or not . Well i call it, you know, a lease with the right of redemption, thats how i call it, thats the question langlizzo but again , its not started on paper, its in the law , by the way, the law also has an expiration date, it also expires. Im wrong, in the 22nd year, on the day of the socalled victory, biden signed well that is, you know, with all these things, they often look like a throwaway well, i agree with some speakers who can also evaluate it that way. Although, on the other hand, where would we be now if it were not for the walls, and where would we be now if not a javelin. And where would we be now if it werent for the same threeseven howitzers, if it werent for the 155 caliber that is also provided to us by our western partners. Of russia but they dont know what to do with that defeat. Until they make a decision, what will they do with all this, how will they solve the issue of nuclear weapons, how will they divide the nadra of siberia together with china . That is, this decision has not been made to this day, and that is why all these delays are of a geopolitical nature and not a military expediency to preserve , lets say, the integrity and security of nato countries , after the drone attack on moscow, president zelenskyi said that the war is now spilling over or returning to russia again western countries that are arming ukrainians demand that ukraine does not use their weapons for strikes on the aggressors territory, but only its own, now its weapons are ukrainian. What do you know . It makes you want to hug and cry somewhere. This is how it looks from my point of view. I remember very well how 21 in the 20th year, the Supervisory Board of Defense Industry was headed by a fellow named milana. Well, the one whom kolomoisky called a moron. And he told the whole country on television that i am a moron. Well, what else can i say, but he headed the Supervisory Board of Defense Industry, and in the 23rd year, Defense Industry states the fact that the Missile Program is collapsing. Well, not in such words, perhaps in more diplomatic words, but i want to say that the same usiv who headed this Defense Industry lied that our Missile Program was already at 80 of the way out. And now it turned out that it was all a lie and there is more and the horse did not lie down and will press somewhere approximately in the very positions at which he accepted the position. So, time is wasted. We have a Missile Program so that the war will move to the territory of russia. Well , lets talk about the fourth. There are not two fractions that flew to moscow, they will make the weather to all russian territories for 11,000 km from st. Petersburg to vladivostok, do we have the opportunity to hit the airfields of strategic bombers, which are much further there somewhere, well, roughly speaking, the murmansk region, no. Do we reach somewhere . Well, only two drones. Well , tell me. Two point wires flew to the same place. Yes , the tower burned down. No, there is no damage except for the fourth floor. No, but now. Look at the results. When a racket arrives in ukraine or the same x22 ballistic missile, well, look at the results on those erer stacked to the foundation of the house, thats why the history of such a war moved to the territory of russia, did he mean who the wagnerites no, i dont see no, i understand that budanov is there, he has a Russian Volunteer there the corps that sings glory to yevgeny prigozhin, well, now their guru is leaving, a handsome man who was glorified on our tv broadcasts, the Russian Volunteer corps, which supposedly everyone believed that he was doing the weather there now on the territory of russia, and where are they . I understand that they are somewhere and that they are even doing something, but well, the wave of the uprising in russia did not take place, and the volunteer Russian Volunteer corps and the legion of freedom of russia did not go to moscow. So these are units of propagandized small structures, so it was a failed history of the work of the Main Development department of the formation of such fake units. That is, we the unit is real, it is not completely fake, it exists , but its dimensions are quite limited, and again, if they glorify yevgeny podroghin, i am the same patriot of russia as you are after well, in principle, on rdk, you can put a big cross, put him in a hole and forget that it existed at all and stop giving them weapons after such things or remove that person e from that unit and deal with him if he glorifies terrorists but nevertheless , returning to the history of drones and if i remembered moscow , because they just said that it hurts me too that the drones are flying to moscow but you know that putin is the wine no, no, putin is sitting in the plane, not putin is pressing the hook of the launcher no, no, putin, the russian people the russian people are fighting here, this russian vanka is sitting in a trench, this russian vanka is raping in bucha, in this russian bathhouse, he is shooting the same russian, the vankas came to us, it is not putin, that is why such a story came to us, it will not change the fundamentals, two drones do not change the fundamentals, they can it may be ours, it may not be ours, i dont even know. To be honest, judging by the amount of destruction, it was hardly worth doing this for 500 km , children, so that the windows on the fourth floor would break. Than the replacement of those windows on the fourth floor of the russian highrise that was flown into, thats why such a story for me is not yet the transfer of the war to the side of the enemy, further, er, the exit to the borders of 1991. This is how the military and Political Leadership of ukraine announces our victory, do you think well i am a rhetorical question, but i dont think that this is a victory that russia is flying somewhere in space after we reach the borders of 1991, or will their missile production stop . Maybe they will stop producing drones or maybe they will stop doing what they did yesterday started in kazakhstan has a shoulder to put up banners and recruit cossacks for the war in ukraine in turn with russia, little one, do you understand what is happening in the world today, ukraine opposes four countries of the world , not one russia, nor belarus, those countries that help to circumvent sanctions china, which is now telling something there what are the drones there . They will not sell, well, for me it looks quite funny, considering that soviet weapons go to russia from kazakhstan, and chinese weapons go to kazakhstan as a substitute do you understand weapons, look at the technologies that russia uses in the production of drones, the owner of those lancets is czech motors there and so on , that is, sanctions in this context do not work, and kazakhs are recruited by promising them a salary of 5,000. They pour the oil into tanks somewhere in the indian ocean and then the indians sell this oil as if it were some non russian oil. Well, are we blind . We dont understand that money leaves a bank trail and as a result of the sanctions policy, all these companies that have work with russia should be, quite simply, if there are sanctions, they should fall. And why dont they fall further . The attack in the black sea by two russian ships and some civilian vessel there, which is allegedly carrying weapons from syria. I have a rhetorical question. And how are they through a civilian ship sailed through the bosphorus, everyone knows what was loaded in syria, there are video footage and so on, and how did turkey miss that ship that it ended up in the black sea, you understand, thats why i call this all cynicism, just cynicism. And in some moments, excuse me for the slang cyclicality can tell why two helicopters were not shot down that flew into poland , why are we afraid of confrontation and confrontation , if they choose shame between shame and war, then they will get shame and then war , because only the passive policy of western countries, including nato countries, helps putin has to believe in his cool with well , ill say it in more literary words, because here some motherfuckers are asking themselves. Well , i have some thoughts on this matter, thats why two drones, there are some statements of zelensky that the war has moved to the territory of russia. There is no war on the territory of russia, there is some concern in the area lying in the forest, you already know what they are there. I think that it can work even worse in the context of the fact that the deepseated people are mobilizing to defend the homeland from this evil naty, well, for the russians well, it is difficult to admit that they are raking in the money from some small country. They say that we are fighting against nato. Well, it can be, as you know, how they blew up houses on the kashirsky highway, and then they mobilized and supported putin in the righteous war against uh, the sparks, you understand , well, such a story, so its not known yet whose benefit it is. Well, and in my deep conviction, you know a couple , its normal if there is such a sure thing that it can fly, then with the amount of explosives, which i call 0. 010, then it would be better if the vrublovites would blow up a couple of houses it would have been more, but abramovychs house burned down together with abramovych, you see, there is already no funding worth a billion well, how is it now, well, im just saying well, how else, well, how else can we clean up, we must clean up the enemy, and we must to clean up the person who sponsors him if we dont do this, that he will continue to travel around the world to protect abramovich, who supposedly will give us 2 billion someday, but lets not include abramovich in the american sanctions and what did it give us abramovich sold chelsea and now he says, well, yes 2 billion, but i would think that not only ukrainians but russians are suffering from the war , thats why i want to give the money to the russians. Of the belarusian army, which flew 3 km deep into polish territory, and the poles put forward a protest against minsk. Minsk says that this is a provocation by the poles. Today, the poles and lithuanians are talking about the fact that the wagnerians want to break through this suval corridor, and from what they say and as they say, there is no conviction that even when entering this suval corridor this is a 100 km gap between belarus and the kaliningrad region of russia and between poland, respectively, on the border of poland and lithuania, there is no certainty that the fifth article of the charter of the North Atlantic Alliance will be applied, and why are they afraid and what are they afraid of, because foreign helicopters flew to belarus on their territory , before that putin and lukashenko declared that poland poses a danger to belarusians, the russians said we we will tell you what territories stalin gave you after the second world war, these are absolutely obvious things when two countries threaten a country to deal with it, and they say again, well , those helicopters flew in, well, by chance, because lukashenko was somewhere nearby in the fields where he was in the country near this border and these are the helicopters that seem to accompany him lets talk frankly the question is afraid of escalation, afraid of entering into a war between shame and war they chose today shame and tomorrow they get war so really will this war be a fullscale invasion no i i dont think it will be, it will be a resisted method. Its not us, were not there, there are some terrorists there. I dont know, we re new, we dont have a relationship, then he clearly said that the wagnerites are bad people, they went to moscow and continued to distance themselves and so on. The wagners are generally recognized as terrorists in the world. Well, we werent there. Well, thats all. Well, whats next, will the poles be cut down . Will the poles be cut down . I think they will, well, they wont have an option. Well, they will give up a piece of territory , or will the baltic countries be cut down . With a manual one, they will have no choice, because they can become an island. Well, how and how will they if the suval corridor is interrupted. Well , how will the baltic countries communicate with the outside world . The baltic sea. Well, im there now. Of course, thats all, well, the contact is exaggerating. But nevertheless, thats why such a story. Hmm, the question is, why didnt they shoot down . Theyre afraid, so theyre afraid that the rainbow shot down the plane, and theyre afraid. Will the fifth article be applied . Well, the article still doesnt apply to any of terrorist groups. Are there wagners today in poland . Are they conducting a recruitment operation in poland for the money that russia has as a result of circumventing oil trade sanctions and blah blah blah . Perhaps if there is an opportunity or there will be some task there, thats all. And the question of priorities for nato countries, if only there was no war. Well, there will be a war, its just possible that poland and hungary will face it, and hungary itself will say no, no, no. To fight for some terrorists there, we will fight if russia invades, it is not russia, not even the territory is not russian, belarusian, is the border with russia closed completely, no, is the border with belarus closed, no, well, what else do they want, and what do we have to help them here . We eat we cant help here except for good advice. They flew 100 m away and lukashenko will not say that it was a provocation. The helicopter will be attacked and it will fall. What happened when one or two rockets landed on the territory of poland . They are bombing and flying through the territory of romania. Well, at least i remember that they were there partially when they crossed the danube. They fly there not only to one country, romania and moldova, there. As they say, they fly through them, they shoot them down there with these missiles. No, they could, they could. Even for the purpose of protecting the grain corridor, they could cover the port of orlovka with the Port Infrastructure of nato countries, a missile is flying very close to the borders, which potentially poses a threat to romania , the 100kilometer zone was made no fly zone. Problems right away in romanian, there are 100 m of that river, 50 m have already been crossed in romanian territory. Well, maybe not a little more, he said
