and now this person is in the ranks of the territorial defense and he organized, in particular, the defenseoni and he stopped, in particular, russian tanks in the vyshgorod direction and similar people like him, as i already said, journalists, managers, it workers , housewives, entrepreneurs, publishers, uh, an incredible number of people who, obviously, before february 24, did not have their military experience, joined the defense from kyiv, chernigov, kharkiv's okhtyrs, and showed to the whole world that it is possible to defeat the so-called second army of the world that in reality it is all lies when motivated patriotic people take up arms they are capable of many things they are capable of everything sir andrii well, and on to the more down-to-earth, well , i can’t ask, as a guarantee, whether the soldiers of your terror defense unit already have a military set of uniforms. it’s supposed to be babina summer, but it’s already unfortunately ending. well, i’ll tell you , in fact, there were sets of uniforms even in the first days of the war and managed to provide, but no one imagined that

the new era of air defense . oleksiy reznikov said that the german air defense system is already in ukraine and the american one is on the way to ukraine. does this guarantee protection against russian rammstein missiles? what can brussels expect from the final decision? russia accused the ukrainian special services and personally the head of ukrainian intelligence, kyryll budanov, of the attack on the crimean bridge, who is behind it? explosion on the crimean crossing and did the organizers and performers achieve their goal about it in svoboda life congratulations - this is freedom lime my name is vlasta lazur we speak live on the pages of radio svoboda on facebook and on youtube, as well as on the air of the espresso tv channel if you watch us in on the internet, please, comments, questions, lines , comments can be left in the chats under the broadcast on the occupied territories of donetsk region, the police exhumed more than 120 bodies. this was reported to the ministry of internal affairs , according to the

meanwhile, the missile defense review underscores that missile defense contributes to integrated deterrents by undermining a potential foe's confidence in its ability to mount a successful attack. by weaving these documents together, we help ensure that the entire department is moving forward together. in a our resources to our goals. now the strength and combat readability of the joint force remains central to integrated deterrence. and that is why our fiscal year 2023 budget request included more than $56 billion more era power platforms and systems and more than $40 billion to maintain our dominance at sea and $13 billion to support and modernize our forces on land and $34 billion to sustain and modernize our nuclear forces, but integrated deterrence is not just about the steps that we take on our own. it also means working even more closely with our unparalleled network of allies and partners to deter aggression in region after region. in the indo pacific, you see the power of partnership with a historic agreement with our trilateral cooperation with japan and korea, and with our many m

we have talked about air defense, the requirement for additional air defense capabilities. and countries i have every confidence that countries will do whatever they can, if they can, to generate additional capabilities. you've heard us talk about providing -- and that is a good capability. it is going to really help the ukrainians. you heard me say earlier that germany is providing an rst system. and again, i expect to see more capability come forward. we saw some additional countries volunteered to provide munitions for those systems today. and that is always encouraging, refreshing. so, the will is certainly there to do everything we can for as long as we can. and the commitment again, was inspiring. >> ok, let's go to sylvia, agency france-presse. >> thank you. mr. secretary, after president putin's threat about nuclear use of nuclear weapons, you said repeatedly that you have seen it nothing that would cause you to change your nuclear posture. will you communicate when you -- when this posture changes? and chairman, i have a question for you two. we spoke about air def

forces are undergoing training and are preparing, er, repeatedly the forces and territorial defensethe armed forces and, in general, the support of ukraine talked about what they had prepared fortifications, mini barricades and are ready to meet the enemy from the north, so i think that i can give the following advice to our enemy, who is now trying to place in the north of our country, that is, in the state of belarus, our russian contingent, we are ready not to push it here even from the north, because you will have exactly the same result that i had, you have now, both in the east and in the south, and you will go home in polyethylene bags . and will new people who want to learn continue to join the teroborona, at least in the capital who want to be ready at least in case there is a need for mobilization again, there will be a need to defend kyiv already in fact in battle so that the people are ready , here he is walking, walking somewhere, thinking. i want to improve my form, i want to be able to navigate the terrain and, in principle, be useful at least when this happens again,

terry, we had the secretary of defense there. what do you make of his opening comments that well, it's clear that these attacks on ukrainian cities across the country has galvanized the alliance to, to hear these longstanding calls from the ukrainian government that they need more air defense. this is something that we've heard from keith time, and again, these are complicated systems. they take a long time to manufacture, they take a long time to deliver. now we've just seen that germany is, is delivering the 1st air to air missile system that it promised ukraine. and this, in fact, is a system that germany had planned to, to use itself had to, to keep in his arsenal itself. and now it's sending it directly to ukraine. so these attacks that have been so deadly for civilians just in recent days, clearly shows nato, that regardless of their remarkable success, that ukrainian forces have had on the ground in regaining territory occupied by the russians. it rushes attacks from the air can still be extremely deadly to ukrainian civil

that is, we communicated with the general staff, the ministry of defense, the old defense, e.e. , withguards e.e., our special services there and after all, it is different. that is, all these needs passed through a certain filter because, unfortunately, there were also attempts at fraud. bornyakov admits that the activity with someone in the community has decreased significantly . he explains this by the launch of another project, united 24, which also accepts donations in cryptocurrency when i for example, my colleagues are going to some event there, he knows. in europe, there in asia, i will now be in dubai at a blockchain conference, then somewhere there in a day, maybe 5 10-15 thousand dollars, it starts to arrive there, then silence again need so let's say work at international conferences and travel so that once again people have heard that it is necessary to help and then they will contribute something there. vasylchuk, in turn, is convinced of the crypto-aid project for ukraine - this is a textbook example , he discovered the potential of using blockchain technology in emergen

defense. our group has been working in the north of the special military operation zone for the last few days. watch the short article. this the northern zone of the special military operation is our line of defense. it's been here for more than a week daily and battle clashes, constant artillery duel from the flint dowed front is humming with fire. our line of defense is saturated with troops, communication is organized, interaction is established. here is an example of intelligence work. the circuit is a small long-range artillery system that hits 37 km and the gunners work in conjunction with scouts scouts. with the use of reconnaissance means, the goals of the target are revealed - this is the accumulation of personnel the enemy and armored vehicles as a result, in fact , transmit the coordinates of artillery in real time, artillery immediately strikes in particular. so goes the counter-battery fight. also, fire from malka strikes the formation of the kiev regime, which are trying to launc

the defense agreement with australia. among other neighbors.does this all mean for japan's relations with its regional neighbors? and also its overseas allies, the u.s. in particular. can japan no longer rely on the u.s. to defend it? >> well, the experience of the trump administration was a big shock for allies like japan and australia too. and so this has to be part of the background thinking of why japan is increasing its own self-defense forces and why it's reaching out to other partners like australia, but also india and the quad, although this concern about india still remaining close to russia. but especially in southeast asia. there's been a big push by japan to increase its foreign aid into the asean countries and investment, particularly with countries like indonesia but also increasing security cooperation with the philippines, with vietnam, the coast guard, the japanese coast guard in particular, there's lots of training and they've supplied vessels and shipping to vietnam and the philippines. but also with other countries in the re

but i'm doing the natal defense minister all last week. we had several allies tonight, the states and those holders and seeing more systems, but also more ammunition. i'm surprised to existing systems and this is making difference, or the ukraine's are able to shoot down many of the incoming, the sides. on drums, you say that they'll make a difference in the future. what does the future mean to you? because presidents lensky says, 30 percent of ukraine's power stations have been destroyed in these attacks. the concern is winter is quickly approaching. people could struggle to heat their homes . how quickly can the systems get there, especially given? and you've admitted this, there are production shortages on the west. well, the systems, new dollars partners have delivered, have all of them made a huge difference. so this is one of the reasons why russia has not been able to gain the air superiority control over the air space over ukraine. and that has been a big disadvantage for the troops dropped the operation day. they expected that the

is the ministry of defense of ukraine taking any measures to speed up the development of own samplesm to the battlefield faster, you mentioned the reduction station, the basis of which, if i’m not mistaken, was developed by the ukrspetstechnika company, how to ensure that these samples are on the battlefield tomorrow , or much faster than it was before well, in principle, the ministry of law has taken a very big step in this direction, as you know, and earlier, since the 15th year, there has been resolution 345, which allows much faster than in the classic version to adopt allow these or other samples to be put into operation today with the changes that the government made to this resolution . this procedure has become even more simplified, and in principle, i think that anyone who has any ideas for developing prototypes can first of all take advantage of this window of opportunity and enter the defense sector with your developments. thank you for this comment. we will not go. we are waiting for your barrage ammunition on over polemba . the downing of these shaheds, the mig-29 fighte

we have germany has just delivered a new very advanced mode on defense systems and doing the defense minister. last week we had several allies to not to states and those holders and seeing more systems, but also more ammunition on surprise to existing systems. and this is making a difference of the ukraine's are able to shoot down many of the incoming resorts. on drums, you say that they'll make a difference in the future. what does the future mean to you? because presidents lensky says, 30 percent of ukraine's power stations have been destroyed in these attacks. the concern is winter is quickly approaching. people could struggle to heat their homes . how quickly can the systems get there, especially given? and you've admitted this, there are production shortages on the west. well, the systems ne darlise partners have delivered have all of them made a huge difference. so this is one of the reasons why russia has not been able to gain the air superiority control over the aerospace over ukraine. and that has been a big disadvantage for the rest of the troops dropped the operation day.

when we hear, we will inform about the fact that in the next 5 days, ukrainians and the ukrainian defenseces will liberate kherson from the russian occupiers . i am quite skeptical about this information, because it is absolutely obvious that several forces and the means of the russians on the right bank of the dnieper are more than enough, and we remember that the russian paratroopers, who are considered to be the most trained in metallurgical soldiers, are the first priority there a considerable number of tank units of the fronts of the russian occupation army and if all these units are properly provided with the basic components of military logistics, then they can fight for a long time deterrent ukrainian counteroffensive by the way, the head of the kherson regional military administration, yaroslav yanushevich, called on the people of kherson to ignore the demands of the russians, in particular about the so-called evacuation to the left bank of the dnieper and to the regions of russia, they want to take our people hostage and use them, the higher cannot allow the empire of evil i was

to the country with the ministry of defense.s like this. about three weeks two three i was generally silent there about this situation in we had such a truce with the ministry of defense, er, there was a conversation about how to work constructively, but everyone, all this truce ended with the fact that two meetings were held, one er, the ministry of defense with those suppliers with whom we already contracts have been concluded and one with the prime minister also with those suppliers with whom contracts have been concluded, that is, we met again in a close closed club due to interests, we talked about something there and parted ways for now the situation is the same. danu danu, a public activist, a volunteer was with us, they told us a little about how much an alternative set of uniforms for the ukrainian military costs, if you don’t rely only on what is given. well, compared to the russian one, it is quite decent, of course . those with quotation marks keep in touch with us yury ignat , spokesman for the command of the air fo

i think that our ministry of defense and the ministry of defense also know this er, the relevant specialists of the united states, and i think that this may be the way out, in fact , the military and political leadership of russia will strike with missiles now, that is, today, maybe in a week, maybe in the winter, and so on. that is, we need now these complexes, we now have to face these threats. if they tell us ok, we can supply you hm three complexes of the city in three years, well, i'm sorry, we don't know what will happen to us in three years, we don't know uh and what the situation will be, maybe by then we we will win we will also need russia in the city. and we will already be some ukrainian complex, including er, along with the french, italians, or er, germans, americans , this is already the next next step . will supply in three years, again, do we need to invest billions of euros, but instead of 2.7 productions, if in germany, is it possible to try to produce something of our own? maybe even with the same germans, uh, and americans, that is. this is the main thing, all that is mus

, it is air defense, er, if they destroy the complex, it will be convenient, well, manpads can carry from the bushes, as our practice has shown during the first large-scale invasion, who worked out the same manpads , the same complexes, everything. so we must, perhaps , before the broad invasion, the introduction of active hostilities for beer. let’s say yes to everyone, don’t go there anyway mix it up, well, if there is no point, as soon as the aviation appears, all absolutely units will immediately remember where you are, beer, this is how they were taught at the university and this is how practice has shown that it was really in action because during a large-scale the invasion, the enemy's aviation behaved quite brazenly in all directions of our country, and the fact that now their aircraft sorties have become much less, also our merit in air defense in the troops, the same problems. that and throughout the army, outdated equipment, its lack, limits the possibilities of motivated crews and calculations, the fact that remains in service, wears out more and more in battles , and sov

likely to fly near the front line, this is the reality of donbas, this time we will talk about air defense, which covers the ukrainian troops on the front lines about the difficulties of their work, as well as the new threat from the air from the russian side, turn on the equipment of the stabilization system, then the apparatus where there is stabilization, then in the key in the semi-darkness part cockpits, fighters switch toggles and look at screens, which not everyone understands these systems and mechanisms for decades, they need time to launch, i drive battles, i have this system, this is a station of the escort ceiling, whose axis is a rangefinder, with which i can see how many kilometers from me the target is far away, this is an indicator. i can see 10 on it, the target is the senior operator. i know what kind of white space it is, it grew so small. you see , he walks. you see, i use it to approach the target . if you have studied everything, then there is nothing difficult. 18 anti-aircraft missile complexes of the wasp are the basis against the air defense of the ground forces,

will japan's defense spending increase to around 2 percent of g d. p in the coming is why does the prime minister and his party think it's so important for them to do so? well, as has been said, is they very much aware of the potential instability in the region with the rising power of china. the potential threat from north korea. and of course, the divisions with russia since the cry war. and there's been discussions within the liberal democratic party within the various policy committees of raising it to 2 percent, possibly by the end of the decade. so this incremental increase in defense spending, which has been happening every year since the administration returned to power in 2012. that trained to just is going to keep on accelerating. and if japan does reach to percent of gd paid, that'll make it the 3rd largest military spend in the world after the us in china. currently it's rated about it's spinning around $50000000000.00 us per year. so that will be a radical departure. and also, as mentioned in the intro, the capabilities of the defense fo

and does not affect us in any way, therefore we are ready in principle and it does not affect our defense capability in the first place everything affects the civilian population and possibly the morale of some people, but there is nothing terrible, of course there is sadness for the dead and there is sadness when we see our civilian cities suffering and we do not see any military facilities there, we see that the enemy and you just of the city center to the critical infrastructure, we understand the damage he is causing, we hope that we will give a decent fightback or we hope that we will also say so, giving the enemy a fire impression is enough, and what timo so that he also understands that this cannot be done mr. anatoliy, kharkiv has a unique experience, unfortunately, it is a sad experience. it is about the readiness of the functioning of local critical infrastructure under shelling, in particular, and missile attacks. in your opinion, the most important thing should be without borrowing from other cities of ukraine . understands what to do because the experience is really already t

there were interceptions by air defense, but it hasn't been target in this intensity. i'm. it's one of the tactics of the russians to hit again and again, civilians anywhere in the country to make themselves. yeah, i would say her to, to let everybody know that they can strike at any time. so it is something to be expected even though because life must go on somehow. you mind might push this back or the knowledge that they can hit you at any time you might continue with your life. but these reminders of course they come from time to time. you must be very difficult to bear. d, w mathias, billing or in keith. thanks for that. nato defense ministers are meeting for a 2nd day of talks in brussels focused on ukraine a day after the alliance committed to deliver more air defense supply systems to keep. thursday's talks focused on how to deal with russia's nuclear threats ahead of routine nato nuclear exercises. russia does possess the largest nuclear arsenal in the world. experts are divided about how seriously we should take those threats . and what if any weapons moscow may be

what is our defense system?th a view to similar challenges in relation to the dnipro. until missile attacks , which are all over the territory of ukraine, the threat of such attacks remains, the declaration of evacuation is still there. i think that they look like me. well, a premature decision, serhiu, finally, your forecasts in the near future. how will the nature of the war change, what can ukrainians expect? well, now ukrainian troops are regrouping in some directions after a successful direction, this does not mean that we have well, the dynamics have changed. we are just now regrouping our forces, do we understand what, in particular, is there in the same area in the area of ​​the matchmaker crime vorokhta is trying to create a new line of defense? that is, i think that this direction is also taken into account will be important in the near future, also an important direction is the preservation of bakhmut, although bakhmut is also a virtually destroyed city, and now these combat attacks have such a sense

and now we will talk about the war, let's continue serhii sgorets, director of the defense agency, defensess, this is the host of the war summary of the day column , serhiy vitayu you, vasyl, i greet our viewers today, a traditional question for you in russia - did the missiles that the russians launched in ukraine fall on the territory of moldova, or were they really shot down and fell in moldova, how many missiles were there? well, how will you explain how these cruise missiles of theirs flew into the territory of a state from which russia is not currently at war , please well, in fact, this is not the first time that when on october 12 there was such a first mass attack of russian cruise missiles, one of the missiles just entered the territory in this way, the enemy tried somehow to find weak points in our air defense , i hope that he will be able to hit our facilities, but then he did not succeed. and now the missile that was shot down over our station really there are wreckage there, er, they ended up on the territory of moldova, which indicates that the enemy is actually a threat not

she spent more than 13 billion dollars on defense.the thirty-sixth has almost 6 billion, that is, and more military budget, like our 17, but in the coming year in warsaw it will almost double. while chuckles were heard on the network on the topic yes , who is going to fight here, the country, which is only hastily separated from us, did not consider this question ridiculous and methodically poured huge money into armaments in 2018. this is 10.7 billion dollars in 2019 billion in the twentieth, the budget grew by another 500 million, and in 2021 she spent more on military affairs 13.7 billion dollars, based on the country's gdp, she invested more in a potential war a little more than two percent of it. well, this is not enough for warsaw together. back in the day, prime minister morovets announced that in 23 the budget would grow to almost $201 billion, which is three and 1/10% of poland's gdp, or 27 of our defense budgets. plus , about 8 billion more is given for the purchase of equipment. and weapons and not defensive ones, as it was

a european alliance is being built off with 15 countries building up their air defense together. and that is a very important and good sign via because we're deciding from being very reluctant to spend on its military to taking up a leadership role in pushing for a common air defense infrastructure. the european sky shield initiative is a sign that germany is playing a more active role in its own and europe's security and defense. our correspondence very shoulder, she followed that need a meeting in brussels force and i asked her about the need to create an air defense system for ukraine, which nato have committed itself to. they have indeed seen that ukraine needs more and more air defenses, especially in recent days, as russia has continued attacks from the air on civilian areas. so what this ukraine defense contact group which met yesterday said is that it is going to continue collecting equipment from all the different allies and partners. we want to help you crane, and then they're going to try to knit up as experts say, all of these pieces of equipment into more of an air d

me naturally, defense.are not obliged and should not comment on military operations. that's funny. this is stupid. it must be done by other people. the creation of this kind of uh platform, as it is now expressed, to coordinate all the military information coming from there, including video information when it is not clear how it interprets it as different videos of incomprehensible content. alexander volkov i recognize brilliant journalist is definitely here a brave man, but i now hear that dasha, i said a whole division is staying on lenin on the border, still between, probably, the lpr administrative now it turns out that they are not ready to leave them in echelons back. if this is true, then it cannot be said. and if this is not true, then you need to tell, uh, who is punished right away, but, probably, this is some kind of better than sending unprepared people to the front line, and eugene, you understand what i understand about, i ca n’t agree with criticism of my colleague alexander sweet, who is a

we facilitate our defense conditions, but how will the defense proceed?ill be used by the enemy. what actions he will take we will already look at, uh, based on the saying that the battle plan will show, therefore, you need to be ready for anything and you need to understand that now we are in a general position, which, as correct, organized it with an equation that is very difficult for us and our task is to break. but it will be run. you said that you tied up in other areas, on which and what kind of line of defense of the wakner, oh, which they write a lot on the net now and compare it with the line. well , actually, we're looking at more. this is somewhat of a line of defense. how much kalinin 's entry, because now of all the units involved in a special military operation, only the private wagner airline is the most active. as a matter of fact, because the resource there, the resource is attached to this very significant organization, we also know about the measures that additional are taken in order to strengthen this grouping, to strengthen this dir

well, it’s not defense anymore, it’s just in the defense of the armed forces of ukraine, but becausem saying , they don’t get anything out of them , everyone is standing in order, that is, everything is stable, everything is fine, they will put newly mobilized people there. i don’t know the artillery power and something else that they can do in what quantity is it critical in your opinion and it is not critical, but i really charge and you know if well, we all understand that it will not be 300,000 mobilized, but much more in russia, so among them well, somewhere, for sure, the first part will be the most dangerous, because it will be a selection from this whole crowd that they will gather there, of course, they will conduct certain surveys there and, first of all, they will take those who have at least some military training, who served somewhere, well, that is not exactly zero mobs. so, they have already been sent to us as well, so further on, those mobilized who are going are already absolutely cannon fodder, because these are people of civilian professions , they will simply incr

here is the air defense.cals are already suggesting that they were actually aiming at the plant plant electricity nearby. to be honest, i would not be surprised if it were in the spirit of the kiev regime. victor, correct me if i'm wrong, but the countermeasure missiles that you show us are the wreckage, oh, that you show us, they are designed to destroy air defense systems with them lately. increasingly, civilian targets are also being hit. this means that they are running out of conventional weapons, or we shoot them down one way or both. i think this, by the way, is a very clear indicator that the rocket, which was supposed to be destroyed by air defense itself was destroyed by air defense well, my great respect for our guys who are engaged in the air defense system. the class literally shows every day. if it weren’t for them, i doubt that there would be anything left of the capital of the republic, but, as for whether they have weapons or not, somehow we shot down 80 missiles, now in russia there are much

not so little another day of our defense, a difficult day training their law restoration work is currently underway across the country. so we will restore all objects that were damaged by the attack by russian terrorist i inches. it's only a matter of time. i tasked all structures of our state to ensure recovery as fast as possible, just the knees. in some places the attacks didn't have the effect moscow desired. this footage shows keeps mer wittily clutch. go inspecting one of the capitals tourist attractions. a glass pedestrian bridge damaged, but still intact. a day earlier, just after 8 a. m. a russian missile had slammed into the structure perhaps an attempt by moscow to destroy a prestige project failed. as the bridge remained standing security cameras showing just how close one morning commuter came to being caught up in the blast. across the city, a giant crater created by another strike, just meat is from a children's play area. many were lucky to escape with their lives, who should a little more elsewhere, residents headed to bomb shelters. among them alina recently fled to the c

then nato defense ministers are meeting in brussels today to discuss bolstering ukraine's air defense systems. nato chief in stoughton back said, the meeting comes at a pivotal moment, adding that ukraine's air defense is a top priority meeting at nato. headquarters is the 1st since russia illegally annexed several ukrainian territories. so, and all the sidelines, 50 countries are meeting as part of the ukraine defense contact group, as a separate group set up by the united states to coordinate military aid for keith. the u. s. secretary of defense spoke of challenging months ahead. russia's leaders barrage against ukraine cities has again killed and wounded innocent civilians and put targets with no military purpose in the crosshairs. we will continue to boost your cranes defensive capabilities for today's urgent needs. and for the long haul, they're telling us from nato headquarters in brussels is our correspondent attention. terry the u. s. and nato continued to urge allies and the other countries in the contact group to give more weapons to ukraine. how a government's likely to re

and air defense but after stopped lobbying for this issue in europe.e remember that it ended somewhere around 12-13 years ago, and then when the russian-ukrainian war began, they completely forgot about this initiative, and in europe they actually did not address the issue of air defense attention and i remember that you and i, mr. serhiy, constantly said that in ukraine , first of all, we need air defense, because in a classic air offensive operation, which, of course, russia has been preparing for many years, missile strikes, air strikes will come first the first that is, it will actually be the first such er the commercial stage of the war, and secondly, it will be one of the most important, because if russia managed to destroy our command posts, our critical infrastructure, including air defense systems, which, for example, remained our aviation his character and others, fortunately, they did not manage to do it, primarily because of the fact that our anti-aircraft, our anti-aircraft defense was preparing, our aviation was preparing and our militar

structures of the defense destination on the left bank both directly near the channel of the dnipro's say in the far rear, closer in fact to the crimea itself , that is, there is such a plan, certain actions of the russian federation, which, let's say, carry such a plan, well , information that they are planning there, brutally cruel to defend just within the city limits of kherson and on the left bank, there was a lot of information that they also take away from kherson, for example, there is public transport, what is it that they take away and why do they do it, they just steal and take it away in fact, all the looting of an unrealistic scale takes place directly in kherson, from plastic windows, office chairs, various telecommunications equipment, refrigeration equipment in the store, to sights, to monuments, etc. , which are not architectural monuments, to religious museum exhibits, etc. in fact, they export medical equipment, and for example, the population of uh, which cities and towns closer to crimea reports that, for example, route transport, public transport of the city of

something to pounds vice defense minister says is unacceptable. doesn't say we're producing pick up since the beginning of this year. north korea has repeatedly launched missiles with unprecedented frequency and new ways, including provocation. escalating launches, such as launching ballistic missiles for tom's in quick succession in the past week alone, north korea, as actions threatened the peace and safety, not only for japan, but also the region. and the international community and not absolutely impermissible. what was the goal of military expansion is both expensive and controversial. the defense ministry requested more than $43000000000.00 for the 2023 fiscal year. that's the highest budget request in history, and more than one percent of the countries g d p. the plan also includes introducing preemptive strike capabilities and plans to further promote nuclear energy critic say this could violate the countries pacifist constitution and raises safety concerns stemming from the 2011 fukushima nuclear disaster. japan doesn't plan on growing, i

but i think that the ukraine has underscore the value of asymmetrical defense. and i think that taiwan will be pouring more of its efforts in that direction. m. r. o. very aware of roches intentions, as far as ukraine goes and the region. but what about china's intentions? china is of course, holding its communist party congress this week. what has leadership in pings, speech told us no surprises. i mean, he reiterated was declared in the august white paper and taiwan, that china will not renounce the use of force. and they all take all means necessary to deal with what they refer to as the taiwan problem. but i think that she has seen what can go wrong with pollutants invasion of the ukraine. so i think it probably makes it less likely that he will invade and any concerns from where you are, japan being the 2nd biggest economy in asia and important instability for the region. well, clearly a japan sees a threat to taiwan as a threat to japan. aah! last year. hum. huh. sions obey basically sent a very clear warning to china that a military attack on taiwan would

oleksandr already mentioned, about the camouflage of air defense, can you hear me?se, this is not only about fixing the ppu, not only this is preparation for some more serious actions, of course, despite the fact that they are mobilizing a fairly large army, so they are causing damage to all the infrastructure of ukraine as part of preparations for some kind of offensive. it is certain that they will gather their troops to shoot them into battle in large numbers for that. they are now trying to destroy the entire infrastructure of ukraine. say already to our anti-aircraft e-e on air defense on the one hand and to all of us because we see that these drones have certain disadvantages, certain first shortcomings, this is their apprenticeship. they fly at low altitude height, they are not issued for anti-aircraft defense, but they are visible for ordinary e-e defeat systems, that is, for automatic weapons for firearms, but in order for this to be this is my weapon must be near these objects and you have, so to speak, circular defense, so they do not use these drones on

minister and the us defense minister, then these bells of the russian minister of defense there in franceates b- b- britain and the active instigation of such and such a nuclear story by the russian federation regarding the use of a dirty bomb, what should ukraine do, all of this is in the package and i will remind you that uh, last time if you pronounce the director the cia came to ukraine just before the invasion, and even then, as it became known later, we were talking about the fact that he was providing evidence of how russia would attack the territory of ukraine. now, the impression is that we are entering a new round of escalation, where the work of the russians is connected with inciting these conversations about a nuclear dirty bomb, to a large extent, as far as i am concerned, the situation around the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant was reported yesterday with what is happening, the inexplicable actions of the russians on the storage of dry waste. and actually, this is the impression, but the communication with the experts showed that they themselves can use the zaporizhia npp, their

sorry in the defense of the bridge.the road were guarded by the departmental guard of the ministry of transport uh-huh this is probably the only bridge in the russian federation all bridges have always been guarded all their lives first by internal troops. then, respectively, when they crossed the national guard of the russian guard. who came up with the idea of ​​protecting the bridge in the second category, and even when hostilities began, no one transferred it to the first category bridge guard and indeed. many cars. i myself was not checked, but there is an important point, the ukrainians themselves. they couldn't even do that. why a stick? what did he say that half the bridge was destroyed? well, let it interfere. there, the whole of london is not half a bridge, but two spans that are easily restored; half of the work has already been done , everything is being done, but two spans in one direction for two in one car direction on one of the cars. why couldn't they do it themselves? well, they don't have that kind of

why should we build such an air defense system of different levels. today we are talking about a moree already drawing the picture that they would like to build in ukraine in order to ensure the civilian population from strikes of the russian federation, and therefore it was also about various mass anti-aircraft defenses of different ranges, of course, we all would like that, in addition to nasans aireste and saint petersburg, we also received petriv complexes that would provide us with protection from the sky from protection of the earth from strikes from the sky by ballistic missiles, which are also used by the russian federation, because protection only by means of air defense will not be effective enough against the use of ballistic missiles and the russian federation uses against the consequences of that, the next step is of course. we wanted to receive anti- missile defense equipment in particular, and we are talking about petriv . in the background is ramstein and the leaders of the netherlands, germany and france. they talked about how they want to help ukraine. if we talk abo

accordingly, our task is to work in defense until there are other orders. let them prove, well, very hard, they try to attack from the flanks . to work, to give, to go to systems and tanks, and so on. well, such standard work is the only thing. well, i already said, it is the impression that they have been given some kind of deadline, that's why they are climbing on our defense, and the techniques are not alone. they don’t spare people anything, they are trying to develop them there, i understand that it is very important for russia now whether it is possible for themselves there or to some others to show at least some minimal microscopic victory there or some success there to develop that is why they teach with a has well work is a foil just to be impossible eh the development of successful actions, that is, conditionally speaking, the capture of some of our populated areas in donetsk region, this may be a success that is possible well, now and for them, for sure, a success that can be presented somewhere over there, what out we have well, how was it once with the people of north do
