can produce, and this is a very serious problem, only the iron curtain can save the situation in the world, any country that attacks anyone, no matter where, not just sanctions, but an iron curtain, nothing goes there, not here, not across the border, not outside the border, firstly, secondly, any country or structure or organization that helps a sanctioned entity to escape must automatically become an outcast, because otherwise, well, look, russia earned more than... 550 billion euros in 22 - 23 years during a full-scale aggression, and we dream about american aid in the amount of 60 billion for this year, for example, you see, well , this is the whole big problem, and in order for the sanctions to work better, you need to pursue your policy of diplomacy, not the diplomacy of kryvyi rih in sneakers and the diplomacy of rudeness, never i will forget and will never forgive the president. to whom the phrase joe, why are we not in

nato yet? but that's not why we're in nato, you see, that's why we're not in nato. some say, look how the americans help israel and so on, and i say the same, because in israel, if you go to some single marathon, excuse me, some ee, not a good radish, i will say politely, and start telling something about some things that are not okay, some disrespectful attitude towards the military or members of their families, this person will never again in his life... shake hands and won't be at any marathons, you look at what's happening in our country, and that's the whole difference, and sanctions can only work in a complex, when all peace china, enough to flirt, the european union is a serious consumer, problems in trade between china and america, i was recently shown a video of a half-empty port in shenzhen in china, where queues for... raiding ships

used to stand, and china feels this very strongly, they have their own problems, very serious ones, and countries are beginning to refuse to reserve currency in yuan, who allows this, the american and european partners themselves, so we have to choose a side, either we are on the side of the axis of evil, or we are on the side of the axis of democracy, or we are on the side of those who fight against the axis of evil, or we are on the side of those who are afraid , sitting with their head under the pillow, as they say. and in this way forms the message of fear, well, we have no other choice today. mr. major, on april 11, the verkhovna rada of ukraine adopted the law on mobilization, or rather, the amendments to the laws on mobilization, and the deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada, oleksandr kornienko, says that president zelensky, in a positive scenario, will sign the law on mobilization within two weeks. at the same time, the deputy minister of defense. of ukraine

, ivan havrylyuk, at the meeting of the congress of local and regional authorities, announced that from mid- may, a review will begin to confirm the fitness for service of those people who were found to be of limited fitness. also, according to him, a system of recruiting centers is being developed, which should increase the number of contracts to 4-5 thousand per month. let's listen to what ivan gavrilyuk said. we continue to develop the system. recruitment to the ukrainian army, starting from february 11 2024, 10 recruitment centers will be opened in ukraine in five regions, these are lviv, poltava, zaporizhzhia, kharkiv, two centers and six in dnipropetrovsk region. by the end of june , 27 more centers should be opened in ukraine. mr.

major, all the measures mentioned by the deputy minister of defense and the law on mobilization, how will they change and will they change the process of mobilization and the process of recruiting people who go to the armed forces? they buried the mobilization with one sentence that was taken from the law, namely the question of demobilization. in this context, it is killed, actually killed any motivating part of a person in the head, wants to go to the recruiting center in order to mobilize for retirement, until 60. in our country, by the way, even in the absence of hostilities , servicemen were discharged from the army at 45, and now it is 60, so you want to say that someone will leave? no, maybe someone will go who feels the power of inspiration in himself. i don't know, i don't know many of them, to be honest, well, honestly, i just don't know many of them. i know,

even among those who were ready, said that if the summons comes, i will go, and volunteer i will not get caught, but when the summons comes i will go, today people do not have such a motive, and the promise - that we will meet there somewhere in 8 months, by the way, this is a complete lie and worthless, because there are no such norms that ten months are written anywhere , it’s so blah blah blah, so killing the motivating part of going to the recruiting center in this way, they can open at least 100 of them, it will be a waste of money, because it doesn’t fly like that, it won’t work like that, they need to solve several issues now , and what will they do with those who went on vacation and do not want to return to the army, this is the so-called szsh, you don't even know... how many such people there are now and how many criminal cases, maybe the sbi will tell the journalists, but ask how many criminal cases there are in this regard, and this is not because people are not motivated and they were scared, they are conscientious, someone has been fighting since the 14th year, you understand, well, they come to the rear city, look at the result of the work

of a single marathon, at the discotheques, as they say, the fallen population near restaurants on summer cafes and so on, and they say, and i think there, to death, to the swamp, to drones, to the russians, we now have to leave the army, or you are 200, or you are 300, or you are under the article, well it is still possible, yes, to get into the middle of nowhere, then maybe they will change you if you survive, and then you will be given the right to demobilize, well, that is absurd, that’s all, they simply took, buried any motivation, thinking that it can be replaced with money, money you can't replace it, ukrainians don't go to war not for lard, not for sausage, not for money, bastards... they go to war for their independence, for their state, they turn back to the rear and look at what they are fighting for, and they freak out, they look at what is going on with them, but now you have said the thesis that it is possible that somewhere there will be something like that the story that they will review those who are of limited fitness, well

, that's right, those who can't fight should also be reviewed, they should be released and everything, and not keep them somewhere on the ppd or somewhere in the reserve, and they get my salary. and let's say so, and they don't go home either, what, that is, him you can't go to battle, they keep him somewhere, conventionally speaking, in the ppd in chernivtsi or zhytomyr and don't let him go home, but he sits there in the barracks like a homeless person, because he is not not for war and not for peace, because for peace they didn't let him go, what kind of stupid practice, but today i get a call from my comrade, wounded, him, he comes to the military unit, he is given a referral to the vlk commission, you have... to the city of kramatorsk, a person goes there to kramatorsk , pass the vlk commission, rents some housing there, lives like a homeless person, because he still has a salary 200 there or 300 hryvnias, that is, this question is not going anywhere, the problem has not gone anywhere, because he is out of state, he was treated for a long time, he was taken out of

state, how long will he live there, pass the medical commission, do you remember how much is given now, 12 months is given for passing the vlk, this is normal. that is, you understand, when idiots reach for that green button in the parliament, they generally have the impression that they do not know what is going on from space, then the transport mobilization, how do citizens care, no, well , you can at least look at who has two cars, get ready, this is something like this today's theses that citizens of ukraine who have two cars can take one after an assessment, if there is a sedan and a jeep there, they can take the jeep and so on, i am now. .. about what is necessary or not necessary, but one and a half yards for the marathon, then the booking of circuses of football teams, these chupa-chups and shawarma producers, according to the decisions of local self-government bodies, including, it is normal, it is abnormal, and so on

in this way they simply kill any motivation, everything, and if there is no motivation, then they will sail through the yew tree, well... this is not normal, that is why i really like the theses of the deputy minister of defense, who sits and tells how many they will have, how they will soon have spaceships, roam the expanses of the world ocean. the army of drones, i say again, is created, created, even the commander is a kind of army. and what next? however, it is normal to look at what is happening and talk about the fact that we still need to demobilize people. you can't, but you had to leave, honestly say, we can mobilize, we need in order to have a dembel, we need to mobilize not half a million, as the industrious, bad person said, but a million, then we will be able to make a full rotation and dembel, and not a small promise, we will think about a new law because of that , that we

threw out one sentence in the current one that we are voting on today, we threw out one sentence and now they will spend a year thinking about writing an entire law, well, you understand that no one will do this, well, it’s a waste, people understand it, lawyers they understand it. soldiers in the trenches understand this, but the most important thing is the usurpation of power, which takes place with the help of licking the greatest leader of our time, by the way, i was just not talking about zelensky, but about... in our country, the only marathon was licking first kyril tymoshenko, and then yermak , that's all, and what's next, and then we look back, and for which state we fight, on the one hand, we fight for our families, for our loved ones, for our relatives, soldiers fight for their brothers, for soldiers who dug in near them, that’s understandable, and on the other hand, even if the news is not included, how does an electronic casino help to live today, funding of the state of ukraine, no, what is the problem in the army, has anyone thought, and this... trandets, what is the problem, so you understand, because this is an adrenaline rush, then they sit and add

adrenaline through gadgets in quiet times, well, this is not normal, and what did zelenskyi prohibit? no, he said that we need to figure it out and take control, this is a normal topic, they already took control of the gambling period during the war, we still only have to know, the casino is not today was enough, everything is fine with us, we still don't have enough casinos, and i don't need to tell you about budgets, the daily budget. they spend on taxes, and rake in the other 364 days, you know, in a year, one day they paid taxes, and the other 364 days are in their pockets, that 's all about casinos and such troubles, well, believe me, we can count these betrayals, it’s already me, well , i really don’t want to be, you know, a treasonophile and always aim at the same gate, but on the other hand, well, if we keep quiet about it, well then you and i stick our tongues in the same place, and then what comes out, and then there will be... impunity, you look at what the western partners are saying, well, they are talking about reform babe, judicial reform, by the way,

about armor, everyone the police were booked, the prosecutors were booked, the investigators were booked, the resistance was booked, the judges were booked, but the lawyers were not, this is an example of the chervinskyi case, in which the representatives of the tsc can simply judge at the request of the sbuchnik and serve a summons to the lawyers, but how competitive will the process be then occur? that is, i’m sorry, a girl, a patrol officer, a policewoman, won’t issue me a fine for not wearing a seat belt herself, she will, without any problems, and what else are four healthy bulls doing next to her, i don’t know, on the highway kyiv, rivne, that’s all, and that’s it it is called social justice, and if there is no social justice, a soldier sits in a trench and thinks, today we need to save football teams at a time when there are no peasants in the villages, there is no one to sow bread. and they save football teams, only marathons,

and we won't do all that crap today already counting, by the way, it’s not bad . the ministry of culture booked 200 of these workers, i calculated like this, if it’s 10 thousand dollars for each one, well, look, you can pay 20 million, that’s a normal increase, and then we’ll see, by the way, you know, that in our country, most of the declarants do not keep savings in hryvnias. in cryptocurrency recently, journalists dug up an investigation , they made an investigation, attention will remain in the first place , savings in cryptocurrency appeared among the declarants, the national police in ukraine, glory to ukraine, it’s called, damn, angry me not enough for that trash. thank you, mr. major , for the conversation, for your emotionality and for your analysis, it was major of the armed forces of ukraine ihor lapin. friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our platforms. on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on youtube, please take part in our survey, we

ask you about whether it is worth redirecting the funds from the single telethon to the armed forces of ukraine, yes, no, or your own opinion, write in the comments below this video if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote yes, 0800 211 381, if you think the money that goes into a single telethon could be redirected... to the armed forces. by the way, today the prime minister of ukraine denys shmigal said that this is impossible and he will not do it, this is a response to a petition signed by 25,000 ukrainians. and no, if you think that it is not necessary to redirect the funds from the single telethon to zsu, 0800-211-382. all calls to these numbers are free, vote at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next , we have volodymyr yelchenko, diplomat, representative of ukraine at the un in 2015-19, ambassador of ukraine to the united

states of america in 2020-21. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for joining our broadcast. good evening to you too. let's start, mr. volodymyr, with yesterday's video address of the president of ukraine zelenskyi, which after the partners of the state. israel successfully repelled an attack by iran, called on our partners not to turn a blind eye to russian attacks on ukraine, to provide ukraine the same trick. which is in israel. let's listen to what president zelensky said. modern aviation proves its effectiveness, modern air defense systems are capable of protecting life. now in the middle east, this was demonstrated when the air force and air defenses shot down iranian missiles and shahedis that were

aimed at israel. the whole world sees what a real event is. sees that it is possible, and the whole world saw that israel was not alone in this defense, the threat in the sky was also destroyed by the allies, and when ukraine tells the allies that unity gives the best defense, its effectiveness, they themselves already know well, know and provide, and when ukraine says that allies cannot turn a blind eye to russian missiles and drones, it means that... you have to act and act strongly. mr. volodymyr, over the past two days, i have witnessed ukrainians arguing on social networks about why, why israel was helped to repel the attack, and why are they not helping us? well, in fact, president zelenskyi calls to treat ukraine like israel. why the united states of america and

great britain and germany, which participated in the repulse of this attack, where there were 150 air targets. from the side of iran to the state of israel, why do they not do the same for ukraine, which repels the attack of the russian federation? it is difficult for me to answer this question, president zelenskyi's call is very timely, of course, but unfortunately, the comparison, uh, let's say, if we talk about the behavior of our partners in the situation with israel and in our situation, is clearly not ours. benefit, uh, and it raises a lot of questions. well, if approach from a formal point of view, it is clear that there is a difference. well, first of all, iran is separated from israel by, uh, a considerable distance, that is, there is no common border, that is, let's say, closing the sky over ukraine, in the case of russia is much more difficult, technically, uh,

let's say, from a technical point of view sight well, to say more. globally, the difference is that israel has the status of a special partnership with all the named countries, and first of all it is about the fact that there is an agreement between israel and the united states, where israel is considered, well, called a key partner or ally of the united states outside of nato, that is, not being a member of nato, israel actually has all the same. security guarantees, well, almost everything that is provided by the fifth article of the washington treaty, on the creation of nato. well, that's what the difference is. on the other hand, i remember how we asked and begged, both the united states, and nato countries, and nato as an organization, to close the sky over ukraine, to make a so-called

no-fly zone, at the very beginning of this war, after the invasion of russia. in february 24th , but this was also never done, instead, we waited a long time for air defense systems, which we finally began to receive after some time, but now we see that even those systems that are already at our disposal are clearly insufficient. if you listen to the experts, i mean military experts, who say that around the world today... there are about a thousand patriot systems, that is, systems, not installations, that is, not one machine, but, well, let's say 1000 batteries, and uh, well, let's say this, mostly all of them are located in the countries of the middle east, as well as in poland, germany, and of course, on the territory

of the united states of america itself, but, if you take into account the fact that the system. but it does not protect it from nuclear weapons, which is probably, well, let's say this, the main danger for the united states, to imagine an air attack against the united states from the side of canada or mexico, well, it is very difficult for me personally, i think it is completely unrealistic, and therefore the question arises, why those petkiot systems that are uh, well, in a state of preservation or somewhere in stock in the us army , they are not transferred to ukraine, yes, maybe no, no, not all of them, let's say, well, in a state of normal operation, maybe something needs to be repaired, proved, but... one way or another, all that has already been handed over to us, this, this is not enough, well, if you add to that the delay with

the $60 billion aid package to ukraine, these are even more difficult situations, so i repeat once again, the comparison here is clearly not beneficial, and i think our partners should think about this, i hope and believe that , that this iranian attack on ezaral, it will force ours to... sew a little partners, and the first signs of this are already there, this is the statement of the leader of the democrats in the us congress, who said that they have allegedly reached some kind of compromise on the issue of unblocking aid, which has been in the congress for many months, to israel, ukraine, and taiwan . let's hope that this will happen during the... affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba called on international partners to take bold

steps to provide ukraine with additional air defense systems, other weapons and ammunition, let's listen to dmytro kuleba. we urgently need additional patriots and others modern air defense systems, weapons, etc. ukrainian air defense now protects not only ukrainian skies from russian aerial terror, but also neighboring moldova, romania and poland from the immediate threat of missiles and drones entering their airspace. mr. volodymyr, judging by the reaction of the partners, the western partners of israel, they clearly understand what happens when 100 rockets or a combined attack of rockets and shahedis are launched. flies to one state, they understand what it leads to, and obviously, in the situation with ukraine they also understand that 100 missiles, or there are 70

missiles and 30 missiles that fly in one night, they cause great destruction in ukraine, it is billions of dollars, they calculated, it seems that almost 500 billion have been caused to ukraine, during the last period alone, how... can you explain this indecision of our western partners, why, having 100 patriots, they cannot give seven patriots, as dmytro kuleb is asking for, or 25 patriots, as president zelensky is asking for? well, you know, it's very difficult to understand, especially on on an emotional level, and at the same time it is necessary to understand that there is a difference, let's say russia from iran, that is, after all, an advantage. the fear of nuclear weapons in russia, the status of russia, that is , our western partners continue to be afraid of russia, continue to draw such, well, certain

red lines in themselves, that they are not ready to cross, that is, they are afraid of escalation, although, well, many times our leaders are ukrainian talked about the fact that, well, where... there could be a bigger escalation, we have already experienced so many such escalations that i don't think that provision of more patriot systems to ukraine or even such a rather radical step as the creation of a certain, if not unmanned, then at least security zone over at least a large part of western ukraine. this could, by the way, be done from the territory of poland, without even handing over anti-aircraft guns to us. let them stand in poland and at least protect the west of ukraine, well, if not the whole right-bank ukraine, then at least part of it, so that, well, at least the population of that

part of our country feels safe, and by the way, this concerns same of military production itself, that is, it would then be possible to do many more things in western ukraine that are impossible or unrealistic today. in view of the constant danger of missile attacks, and actually speaking, this is how it happens, we see that russia is constantly expanding the range of these attacks, and unlike the initial stage of the war, to date western ukraine is actually, well, the same exactly the target, as well as eastern ukraine, i.e. rockets regularly reach lviv and other western parts parts of our state, that is, i once again... repeat that at least the creation of such a security zone in the west of our state could, well, contribute to many things, both in the sense of the security of ukraine and in the sense of preserving our critical

structure and military production and industrial production in general, because today, no resident of ukraine, no matter where he lives, cannot feel safe, and this is an absolutely normal phenomenon. mr. volodymyr, after the attack of iran on the territory of the state of israel, a meeting of the un security council was held, and the representative of israel at the un, gilad erdan , called to listen. to the words of president zelensky, regarding the threat that iran poses to the whole world, let's listen to what erdan said. president zelensky, when he condemned yesterday's iranian attack, said that the sounds of iranian shahet drones, an instrument of terror, are the same in the sky, both over the middle east and over europe. and that sound should be a wake-up call to the free world.

listen to president zelensky and. wake up well, in fact, israel's un representative called for a free world to put an end to the axis of evil and start, as i understand it, with iran, because iran produces drones, shaheds, which attack, with which russia attacks ukraine, and accordingly, iran attacks the state of israel. can we expect in the present situation that this free... and the united states of america, and great britain, and germany, and other countries that are in the middle east, will do their utmost to destroy the production of these shaheeds and missiles that, which takes place in iran. iran, as far as i understand, was and remains under the sanctioned state, but this it does not prevent this state from producing all this junk. yes, of course, i really

hope for it, well, in spite of everything. to my pessimistic assessment of the capabilities of the un and the un security council , including because you rightly say that iran is already under sanctions, as is the case with north korea, but neither iran nor north korea, this did not and does not prevent russia from handing over weapons, and for some reason the un security council does not respond to this, this once again confirms the deep state of crisis in which it is as an organized nation. in in general, as well as the security council, in particular. yes, there is russia with the right of veto, we all understand this very well, but even so, i do not see any activity on the part of, well, at least other members of the un security council to, well, either strengthen sanctions against iran, or introduce some other measures against this country, because israel is absolutely right, and who, if not ukraine, should understand this, and we

understand this perfectly, and before that, even before... the tragedy that happened with mao's plane, which was shot down iran, and by the way, we are still not like that received neither compensation, nor an apology, that is, all this, well, the impression that has already been forgotten, such a big war, it may have been put on the back burner, but nevertheless, iran is by no means, well, not that our ally or an ally of russia, it is just such an outspoken enemy of ukraine, and this too... it seems to me that it is almost impossible to hide, there are shaheds, and the supply of other weapons, and in general, the very close cooperation of iran with russia, i am not talking about the support of the international terrorism, that is , wherever we look, we see hands everywhere iran, and this applies not only to its anti-israel position, but also to the situation in the middle east in general, not for nothing, by the way,

in such countries in... for example, such as egypt or jordan, well, they actually stood up for israel and helped israel in the repercussions of this iranian attack on this country, that is, even the arab countries, some, if not all, but nevertheless, they also understand the danger that iran poses to the entire middle eastern region. and how, mr. volodymyr, does china influence the middle east and well... accordingly, including iran, whereas there is this conventional axis of evil, or at least this axis that supports each other, which is russia, iran, north korea, china, syria, and now we see that olaf scholz, the federal chancellor of germany, has come there, this visit has begun.
