Conference, according to ushako, thereby beijing emphasizes the understanding of the counterproductiveness and senselessness of discussions on the ukrainian issue without the participation of russia, if this is true, china will not participate in the global peace summit, what will this mean . This will mean that there will be no peace at the summit up to one and a half dozen states of the so called global rooster are present. Well, we could have named these states without that, because they are closed in this triangle, and beijing, moscow, tehran, so it is obvious that it actually depends on how beijing will behave, whether they will be present, but here is a very interesting thing, it is that ushakov announces the decision to beijing, i would not fully trust moscows liars. In announcing this position, because i want to remind you that, including during the meeting in paris, xi jinping and president macron agreed on additional consultations regarding the possibility of the participation of either sydney or the delegation of china in the work of this forum, and the question remained open, there was no form for it. Answers, except that speaking in response, sydzenpin said that today the envoy for eurasian affairs, lihuib, is carrying out shuttle diplomacy, that is, what did this phrase mean, it is possible to assume that whether lihuib will be a participant in the work of the global peace summit , there is not much time left, in a month the global. Peace summit will take place in switzerland, we will monitor what xi jinping, or official beijing, will say after the visit or during putins visit to china.

Mr. General, i welcome you, thank you for being with us today. Good evening to you. Mr. General, lets start our conversation with the situation that is developing in the Kharkiv Region, in the kharkiv direction. According to the head of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense kyrylo budanov, the armed forces of ukraine will be able to stabilize the front in the Kharkiv Region within the next few days. At the same time, he expects that the Russian Federation will launch a new offensive further north from kharkiv in the sumy region. At the same time in the state department of the United States of america predicts that the Russian Occupation forces, which are currently trying to advance in the Kharkiv Region, will not be able to achieve serious success in this area, listen. What do the state department of the United States of america think. Russia continues its aggression. And we expect that russia will try to push forward in some direction, and maybe russia will make further advances in the coming weeks, but we dont expect any major breakthroughs, and over time the additional influx of american aid and constant support from partners will enable ukraine to continue resisting this aggression. Mr. General, how do you assess todays situation in the direction of kharkiv , and is there a possible scenario, as general bodanov says, that this offensive on. Ovchansk, well , in general, in the direction of kharkiv, this is a diversionary maneuver, in fact, the russians can enter the sumy region. It is difficult to call it a distraction, because there are highintensity battles in two directions, to the north of kharkiv in the direction of the settlement of liptsi and to the northeast direction, this is directly vavchansky village. Around it, to the west of vovchansk, the fighting is intense, the enemy is using dill infantry and Armored Vehicles, er, we have already entered directly into vovchansk, vovchansk is fighting in place, on our side reserves are being used, Armored Vehicles have approached, and the leadership is operative in this direction. The Tactical Group tries to stabilize the situation, that is, to stop the advance, inflict damage with the means that are available, and the capabilities of these means, from the point of view of striking, are added for this purpose in addition, ammunition, as well as reserves regarding the military service of the forces, in fact, in this regard does not exclude. Since we remember a couple of weeks ago, general skibitskyi , the representative of gur had a statement regarding the fact that there are plans and known to our and foreign intelligence regarding the fact that there are plans for the enemys actions in the kharkiv and sumy directions, from kharkiv to the kharkiv direction, we see how it is happening, we have made, we hope, conclusions regarding actions and preparations. And now there is a corresponding strengthening of the potential of the Defense System in the direction of sumy. Mr. General, analysts of the institute for the study of war in the United States of america say that Russian Troops in the Kharkiv Region seem to prioritize the rapid creation of a buffer zone along the border, rather than a deeper penetration into the northern part of the region. Do you agree with this statement . Is this statement not true . Well , three options are being considered, the enemys biggest plan regarding capturing or conducting hostilities directly in kharkov, it involves somewhere from 150,000 groups, which the enemy does not have, so at the present time it is impractical to talk about it, but what is happening now from. In the north, in the northeastern direction of Kharkiv Region, everything was initially considered by the passel, and it was several battalions in both directions, and Armored Vehicles, that is, it is such a reconnaissance by combat, but the enemy reinforces its actions in these directions with reserves, and therefore, this is already the second, first option, this is reconnaissance by combat, and now the second option is being considered. Regarding the formation of the socalled border strip by the enemy, what putin at the time called a sanitary zone, maybe they are on it in the direction of 75 km, the airfield is being built and completed, that is, it is being thoroughly prepared for the introduction of appropriate actions. In order to carry out combat operations and achieve results along this line, it is necessary. Up to 50 thousand, well , tens of thousands of military personnel, 55 thousand of them are on a line of about 700 km, and it is not yet focused on this direction, but the enemy is increasing these efforts, if there are forecasts of the west, which has already proven in two directions in total up to 2530 thousands is accepted, and therefore this second option in relation to the band. Is becoming more and more realistic. Mr. General, in the background the offensive of the russian invaders in the north of the Kharkiv Region, the commander of the operationalTactical Grouping of the kharkiv troops was changed. Instead of yury galushkin, ukrainian troops in the kharkiv direction will be commanded by mykhailo drapaty. In addition to the actions and analysis of the actions of those who lead the operationalTactical Grouping of troops in the Kharkiv Region, there are many conversations now about fortification, the construction of fortifications, how they were built, whether they were built correctly, or where they were built, why the russians in some places just on foot. We entered the territory of the ukrainian state at the final press conference at the end of the 23rd year , president zelenskyy stated that the most powerful line of defensive fortifications had been prepared in the Kharkiv Region, which he set as an example for other regions, let us recall how it was, yes, if i see in the Kharkiv Region , both the region and the city are grateful, and the way they united with the military there. With construction companies, and our state budget was drawn up together with business, and what they did there, and i think it is powerful. And now, mr. General, the head of the Kharkiv Regional military administration, oleg syniguv, says that on his behalf , a meeting should be held where all participants in the construction of fortifications in the region will report on the performance of the work, lets listen to sinigubov. Regarding the fortification of kharkiv oblast, today. Instructing the profile deputy to gather all the contractors who worked and continue to work on the construction of fortification structures, each of them must report at the meeting of the transparency and accountability working group, after that the results of the meeting will be publicly communicated at a press briefing, where every representative of the mass media will be able to ask additional questions, always ready for a public reaction. Mr. General, to what extent. Are the fortifications capable and can under the Current Conditions of war deter the enemy, and have we done enough in at least the last two and a half years to build these fortifications, these lines of defense . They show the expediency of this kind of activity, we already have experience in this largescale war, our experience, the Defense Forces of ukraine, and. In addition, we remember how the russians built a powerful Defense System in zaporizhzhia in six months, while our allies were helping us there, and how this affected our counteroffensive actions, i. E. There is no need to talk about the expediency and relevance of the conversation, but it is necessary to energetically engage in the construction of such a Defense System in these directions. Due to the fact that if the enemy prevails, we are on the defensive, this allows the defending side to raise its respective defensive potential, but lets say, in this gray zone, it was not realized in the kharkiv direction on the first line of defense, effective, and the conversation, the one most likely led by the president. Made an analysis, it is already along the second line, where it passes, it is north of kharkov, liptsi, and directly vavchansk, the northern, eastern part from kharkov, and there are more powerful lines closer to kharkov, but the enemy must be stopped and as far as possible in order to have time. Not only to stop it, but to destroy it its strength and with the corresponding potential to pass, you conduct counterattacks, and therefore, it means that now the defense in the kharkiv direction is being moved, and the issue of the direction of sums is also being considered. Mr. General, against the background of the situation that is currently unfolding in. The north of Kharkiv Region, the question was and remains relevant closing the sky over kharkiv, ppu systems, today Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with Antony Blinken and asked for two more patriot systems in order to save citizens of kharkiv, civilians of kharkiv from the constant blows inflicted russian occupiers in kharkiv. A number of german politicians generally consider it. Expedient to involve the air Defense Systems of nato, in particular poland and romania, to help ukraine destroy russian air forces, but of course not over kharkiv, and not over Ukrainian Air forces in general. And this, in particular, was stated by the deputy on behalf of the cdu, csu bloc, roderig kiesewetter, who says that this will relieve the Ukrainian Air defense and allow them to defend the front. How the situation with air Defense Systems in ukraine has changed in two years. I know you know well enough how it worked before air defense, as it was built 20 or 30 years ago over the skies of ukraine. And now, to what extent are we currently provided with the ppu system, how much are our needs greater than what we have . Well, in the second year of the war, our capabilities increased significantly, from the point of view of antiaircraft and antimissile defense, in general, in this war, we became a state in terms of antimissile defense, when we entered the missile complexes and that, but. Due to the fact that the enemy was applying intensive air strikes, these complexes, first of all antimissiles and systems air defense, used quite a lot of missiles, ammunition, antiaircraft system in general, and therefore, at first , the effectiveness of these systems was very high, up to 70 , then in the course of how stocks. Missiles decreased, it fell to the level of 50 and even 40 , that is, we see that our soldiers have mastered this technique, and the question is precisely that new opportunities and capabilities were provided to perform the relevant tasks, including in the kharkiv direction , in this connection, the question is considered after appropriate means. Russias attack veto was also flown into the territory of poland, we remember, and the citizens of poland, and romania and moldova, which are not nato countries, were killed, but still, the poles in particular already took the initiative to participate in addition, directly on the territory of ukraine, we talked about this from the very beginning of the war, and here the thesis is about closing not. The washington nato summit, where it should a decision has to be made and the relevant ee permits have been given, well, there is still time, unfortunately, although from a technical, militarytechnical point of view, this is an absolutely feasible idea, and it must be saved. It is already now to work with our allies, the poles and romanians, and after the appropriate permission to urgently implement such approaches, because the need for this is, in addition, to lift the ban on the entry into ukraine of the f16, thus significantly increasing the potential of the air Defense System , these directions are very powerful. Needed to increase potential of antimissile defense of the Defense Forces of ukraine. Mr. General, the discussion that is currently going on in european capitals is whether it will be necessary to send troops in the event of a deterioration, an escalation, i would say, in ukraine, and we have already heard over the last two months macrons statements that french troops could be under certain conditions on the territory of the ukrainian state, the head. Minister of defense of estonia hanno pevkur denied the information that the countrys authorities are considering the possibility of sending troops to ukraine, for according to him, neither at the National Level nor at the eu level, such ideas are not considered. Earlier, the adviser to the president of estonia spoke about the fact that the country is allegedly discussing the possibility of sending troops to western ukraine, which would take over the indirect combat, rear functions of the ukrainian military, in order to free them to fight at the front. Here , against the background of these statements and these conversations, we are conducting a survey today and asking our viewers whether ukraine should officially address its partners and ask our partners for the introduction of troops, in your opinion, is this permissible and can it be such a practice that official kyiv will turn to individual states that are members of the north atlantic alliance, not to the alliance, but to individual countries, so that they help in the event. There may be, well, the approach that i always propose, which is related to the fact that everything that improves the situation at the front, everything that provides an increase in the potential for conducting combat operations of the Defense Forces, must be supported, developed, it is clear that if the troops from our allied countries took their functions, lets say, to fulfill some internal needs and. In this way freed our units to conduct hostilities directly on the contact line, so this direction is correct, it must be considered, it must be worked out and, if necessary, issues with official documents are resolved and inquiries into relations with these countries, that is , such an opportunity is necessary and we could, well, it is possible to assign a tautology, yes, there is such an. Opportunity and we need to implement it. Thank you, mr. General, for the conversation.

Oleksiy and ms. Yevgenia, i suggest you answer the questions in the blitz format of the survey , whether ukraine should ask its partners to deploy troops on ukrainian territory. Of the state, lets start with mrs. Kravchuk, well, this is a very hypothetical question, because the conversations around this with many conditions and so on, you need to ask exactly what they can give and give quite quickly, as zelenskyi said today with blinkin, that we need two, two more patriots there to protect kharkiv, and this can really help on the battlefield, but to expect that. At this stage, someone will go to front line instead of ukrainians, well, i think its not worth it. Thank you, mr. Oleksiy, does the presence of foreign troops on the territory of ukraine matter, on the front line or not on the front line, to what extent can it sober up putin and create new conditions in the russianukrainian war . Well, on sorry, i didnt hear the answer of my colleague, mrs. Yevgenia, please ask for something new in the studio. My point of view is a very difficult question, can it stop putin, well , it seems to me unlikely, as instructors, well, probably yes, definitely, but as far as the combat contingents and in general the legal procedure, the legal grounds, the grounds for this, it seems to me , this is a very difficult, difficult decision, so i dont think it can be implemented so quickly. Thank you, mr. Oleksiy, the adviser to the president the day before estonias minister of National Security , madisrol, said that the estonian government is seriously discussing the possibility of sending troops to the west of ukraine to cover the rear of Ukraines Armed forces. At the same time, Estonian Defense minister hanno pevkur said that the idea of sending troops to ukraine remains relevant, but there was no specific discussion on this topic in the estonian government. There is nothing new here, he said. Minister of defense of estonia when france
