That today, well, literally on a daily basis , are violated by the leadership of the parliament, i am sorry to state this, but we should also Pay Attention to the fact that in the same, in the same resolution, it is also very clearly stated about the inadmissibility of collapsing decentralization, which has proven its importance for the success of ukraine, and this is also another serious bell. For the authorities, well, perhaps not only for the legislative, but also for the executive authorities, and i would like , of course, that behind those serious, serious calls for further support to ukraine, which are the main narrative of this resolution, our colleagues also saw growing concern with the fact that today ukraine is rolling back in terms of democratic rights and freedoms. But i want to remind you that precisely if we insist, and we all together insist on in order for the negotiating framework for ukraine to be approved as soon as possible, the first chapter, the first cluster that will be opened for ukraine, as for any other country, will be a cluster that will be about the basics, and that is about democratic principles, about the rule of law, about all those basic things that , unfortunately, continue to be violated in ukraine today, just by heartbreaking steps. Under the guise of martial law, this is not only the implementation of activities, but i spoke with hanna hobko the other day , she is a deputy of the past convocation, she told how many meetings and conversations she held, well, you see, now they can release her, she is not an inactive deputy, but at the Munich Security Conference on the sidelines, explaining something, but she is not there, she is not there. Petro poroshenko is not there , there is no one else, and there is no one to explain, congressmen, senators, deputies , from france, germany will come there, and there is no one to talk to , and they talked among themselves like that, and they did not hear another opinion, well, thats it minus, there will not be a fair or anyone else running there, relatively speaking, between everyone and everyone to explain whether arachamia , thats what the problem is, here the question is that the deputies themselves are european, your colleagues, they say that we will meet in 10 years, when not. Maybe, and how much they need this opinion ukrainian deputies, who know all this from the inside, who still have access to certain information, can tell more as a deputy, and you know, the leadership of the parliament periodically resorts to such and such certain manipulations, they say, dont eat, go online, of course you can to make a speech online, but you do not really present additional arguments through online speeches. You feel what exactly is this or that skepticism of this or that country, of this or that representative of Political Forces, of various Political Forces that work in various european countries, including at the paneuropean level or in others generally in other countries of the world, and then you can answer these nuances and these details, and you know that there is no general message for everyone, you always need to find additional ones. E facts or additional words or additional wording for one or another audience, literally yesterday i spoke before the labor audience in the british parliament, so i obviously prepared for that, analyzed, and what challenges we can face as ukraine in this labor environment, one must understand, in a conservative environment there are other challenges, and thats why. Its not just a performance, but you have to understand the nuances and you have to work with each specific representative according to one or another, maybe even prejudices, and thats. Exactly it is impossible to do simply by writing letters or communicating exclusively online, and it is not clear to me why today we have constant, constant putting such sticks in the wheels to protect the National Interest of ukraine. We , unfortunately, see that ukraine does not have all that stockpile of weapons from. Stockpile, Financial Capabilities that would give us the opportunity to confidently continue our struggle, and we need to activate various societies, so i think it would be necessary simply ask all those who are able to deliver in different audiences with different societies of ukraines position, to ask them to work as much as possible with foreign audiences, and this. Unfortunately, our colleagues either do not want to understand, or they are deliberately, deliberately destroying this system of protection of ukraine, even in the political field. We have literally two minutes, very briefly, this program performed by putin as a guest of oskazka, which was on Russian Television today, how should ukrainians evaluate it . I will not ask you to comment on him, well, there the majority was directed inside the country that he would be there to do, to build, but in general, how do ukrainians now evaluate this. Ledge, because everyone is waiting, he said that he will take over ukraine next, and thats all, yes, but we thought that he would say now, i surrender and you won, please, we havent heard anything new from putin, and thats why i think that there were no surprises at all in this, all the nonsense and delusion that he has been carrying, well, for decades, in an intensified form during the last two years , it continues, so ukrainians should just focus on what we need. In order to be freed from this enemy and free the country and have the opportunity to develop and live and create, this is what we have to get out of this next delusion that putin demonstrated today, well, we literally still have time, you answered so quickly, what do you think about macron, is he really trying on a triangle, napoleons triangle on his head, or do his words mean something else, then i mean sending. Troops of france, at least the french army to ukraine, to the borders of ukraine, as he said, you know, france always had, well, such a position within , say, the North Atlantic Alliance , you remember that france once left nato, then turned back, joined nato, although it was among the founders of this organization, then i think that to some extent it is the search for a leadership position, it is not just, you see, it forms. But this definitely does not mean that france is ready to send its troops to ukraine today, this is an attempt, perhaps, to grope for those options, but how, in what way france, maybe even against the United States of america , and we know that there is a certain, a certain kind of, you know, rivalry between the french and the germans, between the french, the United States of america, between the french and the british and. This is an effort, an effort to find ones own word , with which it may be possible to go down in history, this certainly indicates exactly that, but it is good that this discussion has started at all, that it has been published in the columns, well already of a large number, lets say of the foreign press, we, unfortunately, see rather harsh statements there, never never, never, from many, from many european leaders, including american ones. As well, but you know, never say never in a situation that must take the first step, if macron does it, he will definitely go down in history on difference, with a plus sign, unlike johnson, who so far enters history with a huge minus sign. Thank you very much for joining ivanna klympushtentsadze, peoples deputy of ukraine and head of the committee of the Verkhovna Rada of ukraine on ukraines integration into the European Union union, well, always like that, someone has to be a plus , someone has to be a minus, someone has to be bright , someone has to be like that, that is, a person who, well , inhibits help, like, say, mike johnson, although again, maybe he has something is clearer in the head, but actually, because of the fact that johnson is blocking aid to ukraine, the chairman, the speaker of the house of representatives of the us congress, the ukrainian troops today really lack ammunition and means on the battlefield, unfortunately, but they are fighting and about the situation at the front and around the front, serhiy zgorets, the director of the defense express agency, the host of the military summaries of the day column. Sergey , congratulations, please, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today in our column we will. You about the destruction of enemy aircraft, about the situation on the front line, and in a conversation with the former head of the Main Intelligence Department about whether indeed , there are as many as 12 bases on the territory of ukraine, this. And what is behind the words of Volodymyr Zelensky that the plan of our counteroffensive was on the table in the kremlin even before the counteroffensive actions themselves began. More on that in a moment. Ill start with the fact that today our air force demonstrated a kind of combat hat trick. On february 29, the enemy did not count three su34 frontline bombers at once, the first one was shot down in the morning, two a little later, it is stated that these machines were shot down in Different Directions on vdiivsk and mariupol, and as for the first su34, then in erected , a more general eastern direction appeared. Thus , since february 17, the enemy already has minus 10 su34 frontline bombers, two su35 fighters, as well as a downed longrange aircraft detection of a50, i. E. A total of 13 downed enemy planes, it can be stated that the destruction of the russian Tactical Aviation in the air force was not just a methodical work, but really such a massacre, lets remember that literally the day before yesterday , air force commander lyschuk said that it was necessary , so that the russians will surely stop these meat. Offensive assaults, considering such colossal losses, but we see that the enemy does not draw conclusions and continues to try to use aviation with such consequences as we see today, thanks to which it is not known exactly, the main version is the socalled blocking patriot, although objectively it is the most likely means of destroying such highaltitude air targets with gmt antiaircraft missiles. From patriot is just up to 160 km, and we can see that there are actually areas from where this zerk can be used to destroy russian fighters, yes, at the same time, russia still begins to actively use aerial bombs, because these planes are bearers of these planners cabs and the statistics of the use of these cabs are quite indicative, here is Oleksandr Kovalenko from the information resistance group. Counted and he said that in the month of february there was a maximum of the use of these bombs in comparison with previous periods, more than 1,200 dropped of these aerial bombs weighing from 200 to 1,500 kg, this is actually a colossal number, the largest number was just 16 on 17 february, 151 drops, with of which 94 were in avdiivka, let me remind you that just on the 17th, our troops in. Settlement. How many stolen su34x aircraft remain with the enemy. Let me remind you that before the active phase of the war there were 140 such bombers, in two years they built another 16 and a certain number of them were destroyed, i havent found the exact numbers yet, but we still have to conclude that our air. Forces will still have to good work to, well, destroy even more of these enemy air targets in the form of su34, but our air defense should destroy not only fighters, because today the president of russia, vladimir putin, is the main criminal admitted that in the battle against ukraine the hypersonic shock complex of the seabased zircon was also used, just at the same time. Putin mentioned it in this message to the federal assembly, he said that this system is already in service, why is it really important, because in fact, this is a confirmation that the enemy is involved in terrorist attacks on ukraine using various types of weapons, and these words will also be another proof of the criminal actions of the russian federation, against the background of which we must understand that all intimidation. Of putin which is related with the mention of these different types of weapons that russia will never actually bring to a technical level. In fact, these are rather attempts to intimidate our partners, i think, will have the opposite effect, namely to spread and deepen interaction with ukraine at the expense of strengthening our defense potential, our military mission, at the expense of the use of various effective mechanisms that have proven themselves in the course of hostilities actions, and this on. Not only a direct confrontation with the enemy, not only artillery, not only ammunition, but also the interaction of our special services, and now we will talk about the potential and opportunities that cooperation between various special agencies gives to our. Country and our partners, what effect we have from this, and our next guest is a person who has a unique experience of working in in various extremely important positions, we are joined by valery kondratyuk, lieutenant general, head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of ukraine at a certain time, head of the Main Intelligence Department of the ministry of defense, as well as head of the code Intelligence Department of the Security Service of ukraine. Sir generals i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you on the air of espresso channel. Namzaem, mr. Serhiy, glory to ukraine. Glory to heroes. I would like to start with such a difficult question. When Volodymyr Zelenskyys press conference was held on february 25, he said that in the fall or last year, when the counteroffensive was being prepared, the plans for this counteroffensive were made quite quickly. On the table in the kremlin, does this indicate that we have not yet gotten rid of the enemy agents at the highest levels in ukraine, or is this some kind of reproach by the president towards our special services, which are not guaranteed the safety of our military plans, what do you think about this . I do not believe that this was a move by the president in the direction of our special services, but this is an understanding that today a. In the country, lets say, there is still no really such powerful or guaranteed protection of information, that is, a counterintelligence regime, and the question first of all, it is about the military counterintelligence of the Security Service of ukraine, which is responsible for ensuring the counterintelligence regime of the ministry of defense of the general staff, but regarding the list of persons who, lets say, according to the version there, well the majority, lets say our journalists. Had nothing to do with these plans, then there are definitely only five or seven people there, but if we approach this issue more professionally, then it is clear that the removal of information should be not only from the first persons, but also from their closest entourage, assistants and those people who were directly involved in the preparation of documents on the combat planning of our counteroffensive, and in this context. I would like to emphasize the importance of precisely reminding once again that the main function of the Service Security of ukraine is to unsuccessfully compete with the Main Intelligence Agency on the launch of drones, but to create a powerful and reliable counterintelligence regime in the state, because counterintelligence activity is the main function of the Security Service of ukraine. Mr. Geral, thank you for this clear explanation, and then something to another topic, very much related to usage. Effectiveness of the potential of the special services of different countries, you probably saw, you probably carefully read the publication that appeared in the New York Times called there, the spy wars, how the cia secretly helped ukraine in the war with putin, this publication there is based on a conversation there with a number of officials of both the United States and ukraine, the material is quite so complex and difficult to understand, but quite. Extremely interesting, and in your opinion, why did it appear now, or it carries some threat from the point of view of disclosing the terms of cooperation, in particular the cia and the Main Intelligence Agency, at that time you were the head of this structure, is this an impetus for some important changes, which now, well, it is extremely necessary to ensure the conditions of the realities that are in relations between ukraine and United States . Mr. Sergey, regarding the content of the publication, there are indeed two laureates of the laureate prize, that is, people who approach their journalistic activities more than professionally, and according to their testimony, they conducted more than 200 surveys to prepare the materials for this article, and i understand that the materials were published maybe six months, and maybe it lasted for more than a year, in order to conduct so many interviews, collect this material and understand. That he already was, lets say so ready, but due to the timing, why it was directly published by the worlds leading newspaper right now is not even a secret, because according to highranking officials of the United States, this material was agreed at the level of the leadership of the Intelligence Agency of the United States, and was also preagreed with the office of President Biden , and it was decided that exactly. On sunday, on the eve of this important week, when there will be another attempt in the congress of the United States to achieve there the support of ukraine and the provision of funding, and so it was. This publication was published, why, because congressmen need to know that ukraine is not only, you know, a recipient of military aid from the
