Became better than it was before. I also believe that it is very important to restore qualitatively when we rebuild ukraine, take over schools, hospitals or other facilities. Its important to make them better, especially when it comes to stability and similar features. Reconstruction schools at the initiative of the Lithuanian Government was implemented by the Central Project management agency, and even more so in order to scale. Educational institutions across the country, are currently working on another project. An International Architectural competition has already been announced as part of the school of the future for ukraine. The winning project will be used for the construction of educational institutions throughout ukraine. It will be an adaptive project that can be logically adapted to different locations, to different needs, to different numbers of students. And in general, this project will be provided to everyone the community is safe. Precisely for their use, and this actually, returning to the issue of design and estimate documentation, which is extremely expensive, so here is this project of the future school, an architectural project, it will greatly simplify the life of many communities. The lithuanianukrainian lyceum number one is ready to welcome seven hundred students, it remains to complete the improvement and put the school into operation. Friends from lithuania emphasize that such a new school is far from the last gift to ukraine. It sounds like a cliche, but in fact, we invest in the future, investing in children who im sure will create a better world, a World Without war, because i understand all the circumstances now, i know about all these atrocities of war, so we have to help rebuild as soon as possible, now, not later, not when its over war, and now the republic of lithuania has already allocated more than 14 Million Euros for construction. Temporary settlement, reconstruction of educational institutions and other projects in ukraine. Kateryna galko, dmytro nikiforov, espresso tv channel. Glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, the west Studio Program is on the air of the tv channel. Analyze will be the most important events of this week, in particular, we will talk about the International Security component. Our guests, retired British Army Colonel gleng. And oleg rybachuk, the former head of president yushchenkos secretariat. Glen grant, a retired colonel of the british army, a military expert, will be on our air now. Glory to ukraine, mr. Colonel. Well, the situation is extremely difficult, so some military experts talk about a possible attempt to break through the front line. We understand that our armed forces are doing Everything Possible and impossible, but asks. The socalled Strategic Reserves that russia is trying to attract, if we talk now about the level of danger on the front line, how do you assess them . At the moment, it is premature to say that there may be a breakthrough. We know that the Artillery Munitions being procured by the Czech Republic are due to arrive soon, which could significantly change the artillery battle and potentially shift the front line again , provided ukraine has enough munitions to use them effectively. However, effective use and mobilization of Strategic Reserves remains a difficult task due to the lack of clarity regarding the number and actions of russian troops. Without Intelligence Data on the training and movement of russian troops, it is difficult to predict where and by what means a breakthrough may occur. We need to wait and see what their strategic goals are. Although the goal of russia is obvious to break through. We lack information on where they might attempt to do so and whether they have the capacity to do so given the heavy losses. Which they have experienced in recent months, especially around avdiivka. It is likely that they are feel tension in certain areas due to these losses. We understand that war is not only about heroism, it is also about resources, and accordingly, i would like to ask you how you see the pace of supply of the most important thing to us, in particular, now we are talking about artillery ammunition. To be honest, im not very familiar with the details of the tactical level. At the strategic level, we are aware that the expected Financial Support from america has not yet materialized. However, american politicians who support ukraine are becoming more and more persistent and skilled in using political and procedural. Instruments in congress, this gives reason to assume that there may be a breakthrough in the matter of american support. On the european front, the Czech Republic receives ammunition from countries outside europe, such as south africa and south korea, although this ammunition is already on its way, its delivery cannot be immediate due to the logistical problems associated with moving heavy ammunition, as Sea Transport is usually used , as the possibilities of air transportation are limited. In addition, in production. Of the million shells promised by europe, there are delays, which lead to a slower than expected delivery of them to ukraine. However, i believe there will be a critical moment when ukraine starts receiving more ammunition, potentially putting it in a more advantageous position compared to russia. In your opinion, what is the essence of the american game now and whether they would dare to do so and perhaps the administration of President Biden would be ready to use some others. Mechanism, well, according to the type of lendlease, so thats one side of the problem, how far france, how far Great Britain will be prepared to shoulder a certain burden that the United States may refuse to shoulder, its a matter of life and death really. Oh, can you ask 10 questions, i will try to answer them one by one and start with the situation in america. It appears that there is still uncertainty in the white house about how to effectively confront russia without provoking a nuclear war. This concern about Nuclear Weapons is an important factor shaping the us approach. As for congress, we know whats there happens. The Political Landscape in congress reflects the effects of russian influence over the past two decades. And trump is the answer to that. Trump is so strong in the Republican Party that it seems many of his supporters simply wont do anything against him unless he makes up his own mind. So we have two big problems. Now the white house is still keeping. The ability to impose further sanctions, he may well do so, just last week they discovered an additional 300 million that was saved in other contracts, however i i dont foresee that the us will somehow deviate from its current actions, it is quite likely that they will continue to do everything, too, trying to get additional funding and resources. It is unlikely that they will deploy their troops in ukraine unless putin directly attacks nato. This is for me. It seems obvious that regarding europe, macron is trying to position himself as a leading leader, he is putting considerable pressure on others to support ukraine, which is a positive thing, because someone should have taken such measures a long time ago, olaf scholz has a tendency to speak loudly but without much consequence, while macrons actions in the past have also not always matched his rhetoric, so it remains to be seen whether his recent statements translate into concrete action. As for britain, despite its lack of military resources, it still possesses significant financial capabilities. Foreign secretary cameron recently visited germany to negotiate the purchase of long range missiles. We see that britain remains active and seeks to play a leading role in current efforts, but the future remains uncertain. Despite a lot of talk, there have been no significant positive actions that would affect the. Front with the exception of the purchase of ammunition by the Czech Republic, so we are currently in a period of uncertainty, well, colonel, do you personally believe that, for example, president macron can to sign this or that decree, maybe not only president macron, maybe even some european leaders, maybe Great Britain will agree, yes, when we are seriously talking about a foreign contingent, who would help our military, both on the territory of ukraine. I mean that in a war there is always a possibility that anything can happen, so there is a possibility of deployment of foreign troops on the territory of ukraine, especially when it comes to military training of ukrainian soldiers. The armed forces of ukraine urgently need support in the training of soldiers inside the country. Whenever they have to deploy troops elsewhere, they lose precious time for transportation and organization, time that is now crucial. So, yes military. Partners can potentially come to ukraine, there is also a significant need for european Staff Officers who will help the general staff in planning and organization, especially european ones, because i believe that their culture. Concepts are closer to ukrainian than to the american example. Europeans probably have a better understanding of the activities of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. However, in the long term, it is difficult to foresee the possibility of introducing troops into ukraine, in the short term, we will have to to wait and watch the actions of france, it remains undecided whether their actions will be just talk or real implementation, i understand that you are not a professional diplomat, but in any case a prospect. The assets of general zaluzhny as ambassador to britain, as he will be heard, is a key story in the british cabinet, and perhaps whether he would succeed in persuading the British Government to take such or other additional steps necessary for us. General zaluzhnyis role is that of an ambassador, not the famous defense attache. It is important that people understand that the role of an ambassador is much more complex. In britain, this complexity is further compounded by decentralization. Power structure, where decisionmaking is dispersed among Different Centers of power, unlike ukraine, where the president takes most of the responsibility, britain works in a different way, which requires general zaluzhny to interact with many stakeholders to understand how the country functions, because even the decisionmaking process is decentralized and much broader in britain than in ukraine. Regarding him prospects upon return, i dont think they will be. Primarily military oriented. Most likely, his return will be connected with Political Activities in ukraine. Whatever this political activity was. But Great Britain offers him the opportunity to learn a different way of working, a different system or a different culture. I hope he will gain valuable experience while there. However, i am not sure that he will have enough strength and convincing arguments to win additional support. The current British Government seems set on. Ukraine in all aspects, except for the deployment of troops. It is unlikely that he will be able to influence the government to change this position. Along with this, his primary task is to preserve and strengthen the existing relations between ukraine and the united kingdom. He must ensure that these relationships go beyond traditional channels and include other centers of power such as the scottish parliament, the welsh assembly, the Northern Ireland assembly and even the anglican assembly. Church, it is necessary to engage various stakeholders to engage wider support for ukraine. In this regard, he seems to be a good choice, thanks to his friendly nature, which is likely to resonate well with people. And to what extent Great Britain will be ready to become a flagship when we are talking, perhaps, about a new construction of European Defense policy, right . Well, we understand that Great Britain has done a lot, but the question. Taking the lead is a key story, it is not for nothing that the chancellor of germany, olaf scholz, does not issue tauruses to ukraine, so we understand that Great Britain proposed a socalled circular scheme germany supplies taurus to Great Britain, Great Britain will supply them to ukraine, but we see that scholz is not ready even for this, and most likely, he received very specific signals from the kremlin. This issue is quite complex as it involves different perspectives depending on whether we are talking about the European Union or europe as a whole, it is important to note that britain is not part of the European Union. Well, that requires a different mindset. In many ways the uk is not shy to take on the role of leader. Lets get this straight. We have qualified officers, commanders, the ability to create headquarters and conduct military operations. We have demonstrated this ability before and within the framework of nato. Considering the question of the involvement of Great Britain in military activities, it is important to recognize that this actually means the involvement of a large part of the nato command staff. This adds complexity to political negotiations and relations. However, if the situation worsens, say if trump rises to power and withdraws america, or biden will refuse to deploy troops, britain is not afraid to take on a more serious role. I believe that there are only two countries in europe that are capable of this. Great britain and france. Germany, unfortunately, does not have this capacity, as it has suffered significant losses over the past 20 years. She lacks officers capable of effective administration, so either britain or france, or both together, can manage anything serious. It is worth remembering that Great Britain was already effectively doing similar work in bosnia, so both britain and france are quite capable, yes, able to manage. Something really serious. Dear mr. Colonel, i would like to ask you about the medium and shortterm prospects of what will happen in the war now. In particular, we understand that the situation is difficult. In the zaporozhye direction, such as chasivyat, novomykhaivka, marinka , and so on, these are all extremely difficult sections of the front. On the other hand, we understand that the enemy may be preparing to raise another degree of military escalation, in particular, it is about the use of certain strategic resources, their preparation for the springsummer campaign, and when we talk about the current difficult situation, well, it can be compared to a huge, terrible downpour, yes, but for evil. A certain tsunami may also follow, and in fact, is russia now preparing for some fundamentally largerscale actions on sukhodol. I think that russia is currently acting within its capabilities. I dont believe a tsunamilike event is imminent, although i could be wrong. There is no intelligence to indicate that russia is amassing significant resources for a major offensive, such as the use of Nuclear Weapons we know about their difficulties in supplying a sufficient amount of Armored Vehicles to the front line, so they have to deconserve old equipment from warehouses, it is important that they have reserves, we are talking about almost a thousand such vehicles that they can mobilize. The russians can also send a lot more people to the front, but they clearly lack a comprehensive Training System capable of producing large numbers of well Trained Personnel and equipment, because russia. Simply does not have the necessary resources, the Technical Resources necessary to operations, such as radio stations, experience to develop complex strategies is also limited, so i predict that we will continue to see the redeployment of the Human Resources of the same Russian Forces to use them on perceived weak points in ukrainian defenses. However, i dont think of it as a tsunami. It is more like a person digging a vegetable garden. You can dig only at a certain pace. Similarly, the russian attack is likely to develop gradually, they may launch a significant offensive, lose personnel, and then resort to a forced a temporary lull, especially after putins reelection, when political motivation wanes, any further fighting could happen around october or november, as russia currently lacks the resources to break through. These 56 months also provide ukraine with an opportunity. Retired British Army Colonel military expert kudos to ukraine god save the king kudos to the heroes and the king as you know is still suffering from cancer so lets hope he recovers. Finally, i would like to highlight the excellent work that. Ukrainian fighters on the front lines, especially considering that they have almost no artillery ammunition. Lets hope that when the munitions arrive, it will allow them to push forward and put pressure on russia, not the other way around. Thank you. Events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it
