i.e. the popularization of illegal and anti-state actions by citizens, i.e. it is, well, let's say, destabilization from within the country itself, so for russia this law is painful and quite, well, let's say, unpleasant, in turn, we must also understand that russia is now can mobilize up to 30,000 personnel in a month, and it does this every month, and... after putin's inauguration , they plan to significantly accelerate and increase the number of mobilized, i.e. deploy a kind of partial mobilization 2:0 and mobilize indeed, no less than 3,000 personnel, in order to somehow not command this human resource potential, with which they are trying to almost spy on the entire combat zone, accordingly, we must also increase our needs for mobilization. regarding the issue

of demobilization, this is a very difficult issue, and i would say so, even difficult not at the legal level, but at the moral and psychological level, because it is very difficult to explain that during a full-scale war, when there is a threat of seizing the territory of ukraine, demobilization, it , well, to put it mildly, not a question for discussion until the end of the war itself, but there are others, that is, the expansion of rotational opportunities, as well as vacations for servicemen who have been on the battle line for a long time, in accordance with the proportional increase of this vacation, depending on how much and how long a person was on front line, but this is already the level, as we understand, of discussion not outside the borders, not within the limits of television, but precisely within the walls of the verkhovna rada. mr. oleksandr,

general syrsky, commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, says that the russians they are striving for may 7th, precisely may 7th, because on may 7th the next ascension to the throne of putin, who is called the president of russia, who supposedly won the presidential election, should take place. so, by this date, the russians plan to take their time, now they are leading an offensive in the direction of the city. how does the situation look now? on the eastern front and don't the russians have enough resources now to take the time until may 7, or are these another statement that will be repeated in the same way as they once took bakhmut, it seems that they took bakhmut for a year and a half and constantly they talked, they talked, are we going to take this city? in principle, russians do, they have an attachment to fetishes. and therefore, not only

the inauguration of the so-called russian president putin, but also the fact that it will take place on the eve of another fetish date of may 9, all this indicates that their command really sets such tasks before the units that are involved in the offensive at times, but the resource is really enough to capture such a powerful ukribryon so quickly. they don't have it, apart from everything else, they don't even have it yet created sufficient conditions for this to be implemented, by conditions i mean the capture of the villages located to the east of the temporary ravine, i.e. bohdanivka, ivanivske, kleschiivka and andriivka, without the capture of these villages to conduct an offensive operation in the city itself, urban battles and so on, and well, let's put it this way, extremely risky, because, for example, the same klishchiivka and andriivka, this is... the southern flank along routes 0506 0504,

that is, if the russians start advancing, this flank will be problematic for them , and there is a risk to be cut off, they are unlikely to take such risks, although, again, powerful offensive actions can unfold right after the inauguration, and most likely it will be precisely ... june 2024, that is, the second half of the 24th year can catalyze the process offensive actions on time. at the same time, we have seen over the past two months how the russians have become more active in the sumy direction, well, there is no such direction, but they are quite actively shelling the sumy region and simply destroying the villages located in in the five-kilometer zone between its... russian

border and deep into ukrainian territory, there are practically empty villages, and villagers are being evacuated from neighboring villages and from... villages. the so-called gray zone, which putin once talked about and said that we will do everything to ensure that there is a gray zone, although the gray zone will ultimately not save russia from taurus long-range missiles and other resources and components of the current war in the ukrainian army , in particular. and drones, which fly for 1000 km, that is, in your opinion, the russians are really thinking of creating this big gray zone along the border with ukraine, turning villages and cities into ashes? basically, what is the gray area? a gray zone is

a territory that is not controlled by any of the parties, and this is the meaning of a gray zone, even a sanitary zone, as putin said. and this is an analogue of the gray zone, but if we are talking specifically about the border strip in the same sumy oblast, then yes, indeed, strikes on villages and settlements, they force the local the population does not flee, i.e. they increase the number of refugees, but at the same time , the defense forces of ukraine remain in this zone, which hold these territories, i.e. it is de facto no longer a gray zone, because it is controlled. respectively, by the power structures and units of the defense forces of ukraine, therefore all the actions of the russian federation are considered exclusively as a war crime, terror against the civilian population, and with this terror against the civilian population, it is the russian side

that seeks to influence internal events in ukraine itself. i will remind you that, for example, when there were strikes were carried out on kharkiv oblast and... kharkiv, and although they are carried out regularly, the russians tried to spread as much information as possible about the fact that an attack on kharkiv is being prepared, that is, in this way they further destabilize the internal situation in the country, try to integrate into their information psychological special operations, and let's not forget that in addition to terror and the hot war in the combat zone, there is also an information war, and they always combine terror with information attacks, information waves. another front, or the front line, which passes through us in the north, is more than a thousand kilometers from the border with belarus. a few days ago, lukashenko spoke about the fact that the ukrainians had mined and concreted everything there. is

there still any possibility that the russians, or some parts of belarus, small, few, can create certain. problems for ukrainians from the north? and as of today, the number that is present on the territory of belarus, the only threat that can be, is sabotage and terrorist activity, precisely in the form of drgs, small groups, sabotage-terrorist activity in the border strip, and nothing more, i.e. a full-fledged shock group of a shock fist to carry out some threatening... incursions, well, for example, to go out, march on kyiv 2.0, let's say so, or there are threats to chernihiv and so on further, on the territory of belarus there are no forces and means that are concentrated there, they are not enough to

implement any of these withdrawal scenarios, if this number increases in principle, and new units will enter belarus from russia, this will be recorded, and it is a long enough process to create such a strike group, it is not a matter of a week or even a month, it is a long enough process, and therefore, as of today, the threat is only at the level of the drg, although in general it must be understood that as long as the war does not end, and as long as lukashenko remains the so-called president of belarus, the threat will always exist in one way or another, in one or another percentage. thank you, mr. oleksandr. thank you for the conversation, it was oleksandr kovalenko, the group's military and political observer information resistance. friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel and we are conducting polls both on youtube and on the espresso tv channel, and we are asking you whether you hope that with the help of

poturaev, chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on humanitarian and information policy, vice-president of the parliamentary committee. osce. mr. nikita, i congratulate you. thank you for being with us today. good evening. rostyslav pavlenko, people's deputy of ukraine, member of the verkhovna rada committee on education, science and innovation. mr. rostyslav, i congratulate you and thank you for joining the broadcast. thank you, good evening. and andriy osotchuk, people's deputy of ukraine, first deputy chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on issues law enforcement activities. mr. andrii, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, thank you for the invitation. so, gentlemen, as we ask our viewers whether ukraine will be able to stop the russian offensive with the help of the united states of america. let's do a bliss survey, i'll ask you too, i hope you'll be short and concise, mr. nikita. it depends on what exactly the military-technical assistance will be,

it is absolutely understandable that, unfortunately, already retired american military personnel are talking about this out loud, today. there was a recent column by general ben hodgens in the ukrainian media, and it was absolutely clearly described what weapons ukraine needs in order to stop, and then to inflict painful defeats on the russian army, to the point that it itself begins to leave ukraine, but if it will , you know, the kind of help that is only for, as they say, well, it is such , so the concept in the united states, unfortunately, in my opinion, is wrong, management. escalation, so if it is again assistance that will be for escalation management, in the sense that in order for us not to lose and not to win, it is clear that we will continue to remain in a difficult, difficult, difficult situation. thank you, mr. nikita, mr. rostyslav, i believe that the aid from the united states is of course critical, it is obvious that the arrival of aid will significantly help in

stopping the enemy, but it really depends on the quality of the aid, well... here we will have to and with european partners, and to work independently to improve both drone technologies and electronic warfare technologies and the production of ammunition on our own, and then the help, absolutely necessary, will be added to what we can do ourselves. thank you, mr. andriy, maybe you will be surprised, but i will quote president zelensky, who said in an interview the other day that without american help, we will not be able to win this war, and although i... prefer to say, we will not be able to finish this war on ukrainian conditions, so of course there is a huge pile of details, but it is clear that europe in the state it is in now, technologically, militarily, it is not able to compensate for what we can get from of the united states of america, and obviously we will not be able to win this war if we do not create new approaches to mobilization

and recruiting ukrainians to the armed forces of ukraine and all. president zelensky signed the law on mobilization, which was voted on by the verkhovna rada on april 11, there were a lot of discussions, although all the amendments, 400 amendments, were not supported by the session hall, to put it mildly, but to put it simply, the servants of the people simply did not vote. mr. nikita, can you explain why the concept of monomajority was such that everyone the amendments that were introduced by people's deputies and... they worked on these amendments for so long that they were simply voted non-stop in the mode of such, er, how should i say, correctly, in the mode of the printer, not not not accepting that other people's deputies did not understand, but why did this actually happen? well, it must be understood that what we

voted on is a so-called article vote, it concerned the editorial board, that is, the article committee, and in these editorial boards, in fact, many proposals were taken into account, but it is clear that such a law, it, you know, belongs to those where there are no decisions that are pleasant for anyone, but there are difficult and there are completely difficult, and it is clear that the committee was guided by state interests, the committee was guided primarily by the interests of the front and the army, and my colleagues from the committee, by the way, i think that absolutely all the representatives of the factions of the groups that are present there, or almost all of them, did a good job there, and therefore to waste time once again in... the discussion of the 400 amendments, i personally, as well as and most of my colleagues did not think so absolutely, well, we didn't see any sense in this, because we clearly knew that the committee

created such a text, which is the only one, the only one that can be supported, that's actually all, in the text that the committee created, many proposals were taken into account, but to sit and make fun of, well , you know, everyone, passing 400 po... and so criminally a lot of time was spent on these 4 thousand, among them there were good amendments, and they were included in the text of the law, but there were those who just, well i do not know how to describe the tabling of such amendments, absolutely populist in wartime, and here you are talking about the fact that time was used criminally, and will not the time be used criminally, if starting from december 26 , 23, to april 11, 24, this law would be possible. .. well, if, if these amendments were voted like this and accepted or not accepted like this, it was possible to speed up, especially the war in the state. so wait, everyone insisted on their

amendments. the committee worked, people gathered there at 10 in the morning and finished at 12 at night. i'm not even exaggerating now, either i exaggerate, you know, maybe by an hour, somewhere by one and a half. well, because there are simply many of my friends there, by the way, from different factions of groups. in this committee. i know how people worked. therefore, for sure, well, they are not there. don't blame them for wasting time, they honestly went through all four 4,000 amendments. thank you, mr. rostyslav, your faction did not vote for this law, and you have a special position, your own position, please explain to our tv viewers why you did not vote, well, it would seem that everything has already been said, but will this law on mobilization without the norms you insisted on, particularly regarding demobilization. well , first of all, it would be possible to significantly speed up the work on this law on changes to the conditions for mobilization, and let's speak correctly, because

the law on mobilization has been in place for a long time, mobilization is taking place and it was said that it is necessary to strengthen some norms, including we believe that the release of military personnel based on the time of service, the so-called demobilization, as it has come to be called among the people, it would just give additional motivation... because it is not tomorrow, the committee worked, as it seemed to us, very a good formula, that it is after 36 months , provided that the servicemen have served at least 18 months under combat orders, that is, in the combat zone, performing combat work, and thus it would give time to both prepare the change and motivate this change, which they do not go for an indefinite period, but the conditions and rules are clearly known, and in the end the committee initially remained in this position with its... members, other positions were also taken into account, but literally overnight this position was replaced and it was canceled.

moreover, we expected that the president, as the commander-in-chief, he could, indeed , at the end of last year introduce this bill, declare it urgent, explain the logic, because he, as the commander-in-chief, probably the only one in the country, knows all the absolute information, from diplomats, from the economic bloc of the government, of course from the military, and in this way... to significantly speed it up and remove a large number of questions that caused discussions there, it did not happen, we heard that the question was addressed to the deputies and the military, and as a result we got the process that received, we introduced as a faction a bill to return this norm on what is called demobilization, i.e. release by time, we really hope that it will still be possible to consider and adopt. if there is a need to carry some more clarifications there after consulting with the military, then obviously it will have to be done, because in our opinion, this demobilization is part of the motivation of people to go to

the army, understanding the conditions and how long the service will last. against the background of these conversations about mobilization and demobilization, about how this a separate bill should work, or when it should be adopted, and the dates are called that in eight. months, as the spokesman of the ministry of defense of ukraine, dmytro lazutkin, said , mariana bezugla, who is the deputy head of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, said that the draft law here is about the demobilization of the military, and should not wait until the end of the war. when asked when this new law will be adopted, bezugla answered as follows, i will quote: i think never, until the end of martial law. then it will be only on a larger scale, we will be destroyed in the events of the third world until the world is redistributed. bezugla blamed russia for the fact that there is no demobilization in ukraine.

mr. andriy, do you, as a people's deputy of ukraine, understand the logic of further actions, because when mariana bezuglas speaks, no matter how much they irenicize in social networks, but it turns out that she relays a position that is then implemented in life, for example, she talked about zaluzhnyi's resignation for a long time and was patient for a long time, this is such a political torpedo. which constantly torpedoes or does what the government does later, is it possible to accept what bezugla says, that there will be no draft law, and we will not hear about demobilization until the end of martial law, well , first of all, the further it goes, the less i want to comment on anything, what does the mentioned deputy say, i still have to work with her in the same hall, probably for a long time, and so

that we feel more or less comfortable there , i will certainly refrain from direct comments about her, gently saying not very appropriate and regularly inappropriate expressions, but you know, i think the problem is much bigger, the problem is that both the politicians and the media have led society into complete disorientation, because from the moment we realized that we had a problem with conscription , and thank you, serhii, at the beginning of our program, you said so correctly that you adopted the law on mobilization. regarding the improvement of the draft, but you see, all the media write and say that the verkhovna rada has adopted a law on mobilization, rostyslav pravyy, once again speaking so gently that it has been in effect for a long time, i remind everyone that it has been in effect since october 1993, it was this law that gave ukraine the opportunity to mobilize from the 14th year, all these long, difficult years and months, accordingly, the verkhovna rada of ukraine did not adopt any law on

mobilization, maybe it is for... some news , but this is a fact: we adopted a package of bills that made changes to the procedure for completing the service, to the procedure for conducting mobilization, conscription, and so on, these were changes to the current legislation, but somewhere from probably july, do you remember the scandal when the odesa military committee fired when i did i understand, the general staff realized that there were fewer volunteers and that it was necessary to draft someone, it ended with the president of ukraine dismissing all the military commissars without any verkhovna rada, and then we realized that we had a problem with the draft. but everyone was told that we have a problem with mobilization, and now we are having a discussion: mobilization, demobilization. dear friends, for years we have mocked the russian federation for distorting the meaning of words, but we are also distorting the meaning of words with you, because the word mobilization has a clear legal meaning, and it consists not only in a prize in...

the army, mobilization is, first of all , the transfer of the entire economy, the work of enterprises, institutions, organizations, the public sector, municipal institutions, to the mode of operation in a special period, accordingly , demobilization is a return from this regime into the normal peacetime regime, and both of these processes are activated exclusively by the commander-in-chief of the president of ukraine. this is not my fantasy, this is what has been written for 30 years. legal, on which we all work, so in order to somehow figure out what is happening, let's still get rid of these media stamps and still speak in legal language, because we are constantly talking not about appeals, but about things that have very clear legal consequences, so i have a big question, did the mobilization in ukraine take place at all for the third year of the war, because once again it is not about conscription for military service, respectively, while the great war is going on,

where... in the sense of this word it is legally impossible by definition, because demobilization is the transfer of the entire country to a state of peace while it is going on war is impossible. probably should to talk about additional conditions for completing military service, or additional conditions for rotation, rest, and so on, in other words, about additional conditions for motivation, this is what the opposition talked about a lot, what we were promised during the work of the professionals. committee, which indeed, i confirm what my colleague paturaev says, the committee worked day and night, without exaggeration there were meetings for about 10-12 hours, but there were moments about a week or two before the vote, when the committee was promised a very wide package for the motivation of additional , and i believe it was, and it is it is critically important, because the times have already passed when people went and wanted to join the army, purely guided by some patriotic feelings,

is it necessary? such a formula, what, how, why, the army?
