But then for about three weeks, they were silent, but on october 14 they started offensive actions against our brigade again, but they have already changed their tactics a little, they now operate not so much with equipment, but in small groups, as it was on bakhmut with the tactics of the wagner pvk, lets say so , that is, they climb, but we are talking about their hinds knew in advance, so our brigade did not wait for them to accumulate even more strength, we carried out a counteroffensive assault , recaptured a couple of positions from them, took a lot of trophies, set fire to a lot of equipment, took prisoners, that is, quite successfully, but in principle, not here the shelling stops, well, not a day, artillery is constantly working on us, aviation is simply working on us , by the way, compared to donbas, where we were before, this was a bit of a novelty for us here, that is, the eyes of cabs are constantly flying at our heads, that is it every day, like good morning, good evening, they constantly throw tsikabas both on positions and absolutely on peaceful villages that are in the rear, ugh, the situation, we hold back the enemy, in principle, while they have no chance, women, or can we say that they are prioritizing certain settlements, where exactly they are concentrating such a main strike force . Well, i cant say for the entire direction that the brigades are doing, the constantly active pressure on the village of novoehorivka, which we recaptured from them, when our brigade behind the strip, we recaptured the village novoyehorivka, as well as the village of nadiya, they constantly put pressure on these settlements and want to push them back, by the way, this is already luhansk region, because we are standing on the border, we are standing on the border of kharkiv and luhansk regions, roughly speaking, under svatov. And now they constantly want to recapture this village, they cant do anything, they leave a lot of equipment there, a lot of everything, its even surprising to us, because we didnt know that there were so many t90s, in principle, they could have one direction, but already these t90s, they stand burnt in the fields and in plantings, and in these villages of novoyehorivka, nadiya, do local residents remain there . Single locals stay there of course because its a huge problem for everyone. Front line, because the local residents, they do not want to leave the front and nearfront villages, that is, even when two walls fall on their heads and they still cling to the little cafes that remain there, that is, all, lets say, a request from our side, we can provide transport, we can take them out, that is, we can safely on Armored Vehicles evacuate, the majority did so, but a certain number of local residents unfortunately remain there, well, you also mentioned that in addition to trophies you can. Take prisoners, did you manage to communicate with any of these prisoners and maybe you heard some new messages from them , what they are doing in ukraine, why they decided to go to war, and actually, what are they planning next, after the exchange, so to speak , in this direction i have not yet communicated with the halves, but the same unit that we had in daughters, this is a storm, tseki, socalled zeki shaigu, that is the ministry of defense, i spoke with them a lot in the donetsk direction, these. these conversations are not exciting, that is, they are absolutely people who have no motivation whatsoever, who i spoke with the person who sat down for murder, six years have passed since the trial, and the Battalion Commander tells him, what did you come here for, he says, well, i wanted to see the family, well , that is, because of the amnesty, well, that is, the person fought for three days, was captured and the problem is not even that, that is, to talk to him its not really interesting, the problem is that there arent any they are changing, well, nobody needs these convicts, that is, to get our boys out for them, well, it is almost impossible, because well, the ministry of defense of russia poisoned them, well, he did not die, well, he did not die, well, he did not die, well, let him sit in captivity, let the taxpayers of ukraine feed him now, we dont need them, ugh, well, you mentioned that they were in Donetsk Region before, now in kharkiv region, on the border with luhansk region, is the front different from the one who fights on that side . , or storm z, or recruits, or contract army, you feel the difference . Well, of course, the difference is always felt, they have mainly not very trained people sitting in the front positions, in the trenches, well, at the very bottom, there are both or some newly mobilized people, but then there is a professional Personnel Army there, and to say that the russians they dont know how to fight, its impossible in any way, because when they carry out assaults on our brigade or on neighbors, well, in our direction in general, then for this they use the air against the russian landing forces, that is, they fight well, as the book says, techniques in them enough, that is, they have storm sitting in the front trenches, as soon as it is necessary, they decide that it is necessary to take our positions or storm us, then the specialists immediately connect and it is enough to fight with them. Well, its unpleasant, but of course our guys are better at this, without a doubt, zhenya , thank you very much for joining the broadcast, yevhen nazarenko, press service of the 68th separate brigade, thank you very much , take care, a turning point in history, so joe biden in his address to of the American People explaining why billions should be spent on the wars in ukraine and israel, the us president compared the events of this month in israel to the almost 20 months of the russianukrainian war and noted that supporting both wars is vital to Americas National security. Among other things, he explained that military aid to ukraine helps create jobs in america, because the production of weapons in many states is increasing. In addition, the United States sends equipment to ukraine, which is lying in warehouses, and at the expense of money allocated congress, replenishes its own reserves. New equipment and weapons. Well, already today , biden promises to send an urgent budget request to Congress Regarding the support of critical us partners, including israel and ukraine. Well , biden actually concluded that this is literally a smart investment that will bring dividends to American Security for many generations. Hamas and putin pose different threats, but they have something in common. Both want to destroy. I know that these conflicts seem very distant, it is natural to ask why it is important for america, then let me share with you why the success of israel and ukraine is vital to the National Security of the United States. History has taught us that when terrorists do not pay the price for their terror and dictators for their aggression, they cause more chaos and death and more destruction, they continue their way, and the cost and threats to the us and the world will only increase. So, if we do not stop putins appetite for power and control in ukraine, he will not limit himself to ukraine. Well, actually, it has already become known that the white house has already submitted a request to congress, it is about 106 billion dollars, of which 61. 4 is intended to support ukraine, and the other part to respond to the situation in israel and other urgent problems. I will remind you that earlier the media was informed about a total aid package of 100 billion, of which 60 was to be allocated to ukraine. Well, how the speech of the american president was perceived in the United States, by the americans themselves, especially against the background of the protracted speaker row in the house of representatives of the us congress, the voice of america correspondent ostap yarysh told us about all this. Speech format which elected joe biden is an address to the nation from the oval office. Such speeches are usually given by president s in extraordinary moments when an explanation is needed. Americans have some important points of political priorities, and this is exactly what joe biden decided to do yesterday. Reactions, from what ive seen in the american media, among american audiences , have been mostly positive to this speech, with many saying that it could be one of joe bidens strongest speeches during his presidency, and talking about it as conservatives can, yes and the liberal media, however, there were some, there were those who were not satisfied with this speech , in particular. The extreme right, conservative newsmax channel, they generally interrupted bidens speech about halfway through, said that there was nothing more to listen to, although, for example fox news is also a channel with conservative views, which, which supports more republicans, there, for example, noted this speech, said that the messages in it were good, we heard the same similar phrases, for example, in cnn coverage, in new york articles times, washington post, and in other american ones. The media that the messages draw attention to emphasize that the red line that ran through the entire speech of the american president was that although hamas and putin present different threats, they both want to destroy the neighboring democracy, and that is why we cannot allow terrorists and tyrant , as joe biden called, hamas and putin, so that they do not win, this cannot be allowed, because then, evil will not be punished and threats will increase all over the world, and the risks of conflicts will increase. Far beyond the borders of europe. Thats why joe biden emphasized that it is in the National Interests, precisely in the National Interests of the United States, to support both ukraine and israel. He also emphasized this. I will discuss this message. And also actively, among other things that stand out for the speeches of the american president , is that when he spoke about support for ukraine, about military support for ukraine, he emphasized that this money eventually returns to the United States, because Congress Allocates funding for replenishment of american stocks, this replenishment occurs at the expense of production weapons by american manufacturers, so the money stays in the United States, joe biden also emphasized this. Many also say that an important emphasis in his speech was that he also spoke about values, that america carries values, is a beacon for the world, for democracies in europe, and not only that people look at the United States and see the promise that the United States makes to those people, ah, who are fighting for their freedom, for independence, and for selfdetermination, regarding the congress, different people have seen. As well as reactions, some, mostly, among the democratic party, of course, reacted positively to this appeal, they paid attention to the fact that the correct messages, which the american president put in his appeal about support for ukraine, about support for israel, are critically important at this moment, they also call on their fellow party members, their colleagues from the other party, to support consideration by the american president of the request to congress, which he also mentioned in his speech, the request for support for israel and for ukraine. Which he called unprecedented, other voices are also heard, in particular, republicans on the right, on the far right wing, this speech is criticized, for example, senator jaydee vance from ohio , who is a supporter of donald trump, who expresses, more conservative views, far right views, so he said that it was shameful, they say, that joe biden equated israel and ukraine and that he is now using the situation with israel. To ask for more support for ukraine. We have seen different reactions, but we know that this request for additional funding from the white house to support these two countries, ukraine and israel, congress cannot yet consider until a speaker is elected, we know that right now the house of representatives is essentially in a frozen state, unable to vote on any important initiatives, on any important projects, including the one that the white house is asking the congress for money to support kyiv and tel aviv, until the congress elects a speaker , no vote will take place, so we are waiting to see how the situation there will develop, because it will depend on the congress now how quickly ukraine and israel will be able to receive important funding, and will also depend on this support, not only in the short term, but also for months ahead, possibly even next year. Biden wants to depolitize. Help to ukraine and israel, thats the speech of the american president , commented the Us Ambassador to nato, and now the head of the chekai council for global affairs, ivo dalder. What is it about and how effective is this approach of depoliticization, further in the exclusive commentary of rfe rl. I think that the package that the president spoke about will be sent to congress tomorrow, combining aid not only for ukraine, but for israel, as were going to do, as well as taiwan and border security, its the kind of package thats going to be very difficult for anyone in congress to vote against. And how far will the aid he offers to ukraine go, and will russia have to somehow change its calculations about how it conducts war if the big package is accepted . This will be the second time the us has passed a major package. The previous time was in late 2022 or early 2023, in the previous congress, where much of the aid was voted and is still being used to finance it. Support of ukraine. The package was intended to increase american aid to 100 billion over the past year and a half and then extend it for one year. And it would fund aid efforts for ukraine until the end of 2024 after the president ial election. This kind of depoliticizes aid to ukraine and israel. And thats why i think its important that it continues. The overall level will be sufficient to continue to provide ukraine has the types of weapons that it has received during the last years. Since this war has been going on, air defense systems, artillery shells, probably additional tanks and Armored Vehicles, and eventually missiles with a longer range than those that were provided for the first time, and planes on which ukrainian pilots will be trained by the beginning of 2024. And how might that change russias calculus in this war, do you think russia will redouble its efforts, or will it turn more to iran for military assistance . Well, first of all, it undermines the russians once again. Vladimir putins calculation that the west is about to collapse when it comes to supporting ukraine, because with the 60 billion that the president is expected to ask for, you provide a fundamental basis for continued military aid to ukraine, if you live in russia, do you understand that ukraine will not go anywhere, that they will have a constant military potential to fight . Valery chalilei, chairman of the board of the ukrainian crisis Medical Center, the ambassador of ukraine to the United States in 1519 joins the broadcast. Mr. Valerie, my greetings, good evening. I congratulate you, glory to ukraine. Kudos to the heroes, what did you think of bidens speech, do you think it managed to convince congressmen or skeptics in the public . Well, whether it was successful or not, well see, and the speech was strong, uh, i thought it was a speech uh, not about a specific package, although its very important, but the main thing, the main messages are three, the first is that america remains the leader of the free world, and here are all the pancakes that putin offered, brazenly, let him put them in his tea, which. He offered to drink there, and the United States, for the leadership of joseph biden are essentially back in the game, that is, the wavering mood is over, in particular, i see it in the white house, evidence of this is the change in approach to delivering the same missile attacks, which the National Security adviser, jake sullivan, previously said would not happen, it is impossible, now it has happened, this is the first part, the second is the unification of positions. Hamas of terrorism and putin as a tyrant, which the kremlin did not like very much, well, you know, popularity can be different, they wanted to make themselves popular, they did, piskov is there said that putin is popular in the world, of course popular, now even more so when joseph biden called a veteran, well and the third is what really , joseph biden, wants, well, i can agree with his daalter, well ill decipher, its just that the question, its no longer been a subject of ongoing consideration , every time in congress in an election year, and of course, the allocation of such an amount , which is discussed there in the assembly, will make it possible not to return to this issue, at least until november, before the elections in the United States, and in general, the speech is strong, well, not so often the president addresses the nation, this is the ambassador. In congress, and so from the general office, in my memory, in the last two years there, twice in total , well, actually my colleague from the voice of america told that there were some channels that even interrupted his speech, called it a disgrace and everything else, but how important for americans, purely so practical, one of the congressmen called this speech a disgrace, and there was a tv channel, which is conservative, which interrupted bidens speech from the inside. Your correspondents are very mistaken, i do not know who it was, because if they quote, i mean, are playing into the hands of such, if these correspondents Pay Attention to one marginal channel , and do not see the historicity of Joseph Bidens speech, they are playing into the hands of the kremlin, mr. Valery, i immediately come to the defense of my colleagues, they just said about the fact that, for the most part, very powerful the speech was called by absolutely all the media, both conservative and liberal, but they found one that interrupted the speech and on live air means, you know, it was found, there is always something, but again, i now understand the explanation, after all, well, me, myself watched and saw feedback from the media, perceived, how powerful is this speech, and more than that, you asked how it would convince the congressmen , it seems to me that after this, after the arguments are more pragmatic, not purely political, that the weapons are provided from warehouses, and then in this way. Invests the taxpayers americans are investing in the restoration of american National Security, that is , well, this is such a rather pragmatic explanation, i think that this package should pass in congress, well , actually, after the restoration of the house of representatives. Ugh, actually, i wanted to ask you about this purely practical aspect, about the stimulus of the labor market, and about updating ones own weapons, how important it is for american society, such messages, well , they are more understandable, because of course there are categories of societies that follow foreign policy, but there are fewer of them, and the majority follow with their money, and where it goes, how the government uses the money, and here the explanation is very clear, in fact , the money goes to the big account, fathers, all that goes to weapons for ukraine, they go to strengthening the National Security of the United States, ugh, mr. Valery , well, regarding the request to the congress, it is already known, the white house is already talking about more than 100 billion, 101 billion, 61. 4 of them for ukraine, but what is next, you mentioned that as long as the congress is blocked, nothing will be approved , how long can it take . Looking at what scenario we will have in the near future, if the scenario is still with an extension of powers, an interim speaker, an interim speaker, then patrick macarney may be, may be the person who will actually perform these functions, and then the house of representatives will be unlocked , congress is not blocked there completely, in the senate some issues can be. Considered , but the second option, unlocking in general, well, i would say, i believe that this is a crisis, a certain parliamentary one, it, well, or the beginning of this crisis, then actually this is the problem of the republicans, that the minority do not agree with the decision of the majority in the party itself, we will see how it will be decided to do in this situation, and here certain populist slogans are used, well, that is, in principle , the ukrainian issue, if we talk about russian. Against ukraine, then it unites , well, republicans, democrats, and if we talk about this topic of corruption control, there, as aid is sent, it can be used, because in principle, it is the republicans, as they say, the trick is to put pressure on the white house for the efficiency of using taxpayers funds, this must be understood, and it is not only ukraine, but since now the help is the most. Goes to ukraine, thats why ukraine, thats why the focus of attention is on us. Uh, you mentioned several possible scenarios , and one of them is if the powers of the interim speaker are deployed, and is there jim jordans chances, thats the third time hes supposedly going to try to run for speaker, well, the powers will be, i mean, in principle, the situation here is, how do they get republican votes for that, democrat. Ready to vote for it, and as for mr. Jordan, well, in principle , he will try to take that position, i tell you that i see his efforts more in terms of supporting the candidacy of donald trump, he leads the freedom caucus, we know him very well, and we know his positions very well, despite the fact that there are many in his district ukrainians, but he was never, lets say mildly, noticed in. Supporting ukraine. Ugh, well, today against the background of this appeal by biden to the american nation about the importance of strategic importance for the United States to support ukraine. The pentagon published a report that china is massively selling drones and small arms and equipment to russia , and it says only according to official data for 12 million per year, and whats next, will there be a reaction from the white house, or what are such reports for . The pentagon, how they will be used further russia buys the same drones from china, we also buy drones from china , its just that recently there is an impression that the ukrainians who volunteer and try to buy these drones there have become more difficult for them compared to the russians, thats why there is such a feeling, but the fact that china, in my opinion, still does not go directly to the violation and does not supply weapons, heavy weapons. Russia, well, it is actually doing the right thing, because, well, it will seriously affect the image of china in the world, if they took such a step, and they shake hands like this, and then the world asks how it is possible to shake hands with a criminal, as the leader of china shizenpin used to say, he says , when you give roses, the smell of trojans remains on your hands, well, yes, i wish him that he has blood, thats it. Our people who were killed in mariupol, in buchirpen are not left, this is a jinping on their hands that putin will hand over to them, so this, this is an image blow, china is unlikely to go for it, therefore, i think that for now china is restrained in its position, about militarytechnical support, it is there, of course, but there is space support, because , for example, some companies in europe, chinese gave the russians, sold intelligence data, as far as it is known, and there you ask against them as americans, but american sanctions were imposed against them for this help, so i think that a lot of emphasis will be placed on the meeting that is planned between the leaders of the United States and china in california in in november, i hope that this meeting will take place, and then we will understand what is between the rivals, china and the usa, what agreements will be reached, sir.
