Helped their needs spiritually and financially, she especially raised the younger generation, love for god, devotion to the homeland. What unique shrines are belarusian churches famous for . In the exaltation of the cross cathedral of the monastery there is a copy of the same cross that was created with the blessing of st. Euphrasinia. Another important shrine of the monastery is. Study its history, explore the sights, the most valuable relic is the cross of jesus christ, a piece of the cross, on where jesus christ was crucified, so it is with this very same one, this is a deep treasure, by chance during construction work an excavator was digging a small trench and with its ladle it picked up this cast iron pot, and they also share their own. Sometimes it seems to me that the soldiers have not arrived from the bloody fields. They once fell into our land, but turned into white cranes, they are still flying, from those distant times. They give us voices, isnt that why we are so often sad, we fall silent, looking at the heavens. The world is slowly beginning to move from unipolar world to a polycentric one, today there is turbulence, generally all over the world, but around our borders. By may and june of this year, the nato grouping of forces will reach its maximum concentration along our state borders, the exercises are taking place in violation of international rights, they are demonstrating force to us. Macron is ready to send the French Military to ukraine, as long as we can, as they say, go to. Any agreements with the west, they understand perfectly well that they are deceiving us anyway. Muscle flexing should take place when this macron will come there with his soldiers. Recently, the Russian Ministry of internal affairs put Vladimir Zelensky on the wanted list. He received a black mark from the Russian Federation; on may 20, the carriage will turn into a pumpkin. Well, we remember that they already threatened to shoot at the mozor oil refinery. Today, because the republic of belarus is protected by air and Missile Defense systems. Well, maybe, i say, there are no such states even in europe. Hello, the program say dont be silent is on air, svetlana smolonskaya and Tatyana Shcherbina are in the studio. And today our guest is the deputy head of the faculty of the general staff , armed. Well, in fact, yes, these exercises are of a very global nature, and their globality is determined by the number of forces involved in this, today more than 1000 are involved in these exercises, more than 15 thousand different Weapons Systems, there are 70 ships, there are about 300 aircraft and so on and so forth, that is, these exercises are so global in essence that even during the cold war, we remember, such exercises were carried out. Teachings that are marked precisely the United States and, above all , the United States began, this is a light scale global exercis of 2024, these are largescale exercises that will take place all over the world, that is, they will affect essentially all regions, and throughout the year, well, they dont really say where what and how, because the most interesting thing is that these exercises, including in our region, they take place in violation of international rights, international. This part of the exercise is carried out by the American Armed forces, including the transfer of troops from the continental this is something that directly concerns the part of north america to the european part of our continent. In terms of scale, as i said, these exercises are really large and they are divided into a huge number, that is , if the samite laechskayzes are carried out all over the world today in this half a year , about more. The struggle for the shelves and, of course, issues related to the northern sea route, well, in addition to this, of course, the Land Component is also considered, that is, finland has an extensive border with the Russian Federation, in in connection with which russia is also taking appropriate measures, the Leningrad Military district will be formed there , the Moscow Military district will be recreated in the western direction, that is , understanding the full depth of the problem, the Russian Federation also began to react to everything that is happening, but it should be noted that the main axis. This is the conduct of these exercises, that is, the main direction of these exercises, it is carried out on the axis of germany, poland, lithuania, that is, as you understand, this is precisely our fundamental one. Direction, the purpose of these exercises, at first we were officially asked to consider that the purpose of the exercise is, as i already told you, the combat operational coordination of the relevant nato structures, this is the verification of combat readiness plans, well, the implementation of other activities, also as it is said in at the beginning, they were supposedly of a purely defensive nature, that is. Covering, as they call it, the eastern flank, yes, yes, well, then, as they say, you cant hide an awl in a bag, and no matter how they tried, but in the end, look, statements from the media, all military, political figures, everyone clearly says that russia poses an existential threat to us, yes, and that for us, all these exercises are aimed at one goal to contain the Russian Federation, well, they are strapping us there too, as you understand, with a trailer, its everywhere, yes. Because even if we look at the seriousness of the attitude towards everything, for example, Great Britain is such a state, it has recently adopted four very important documents, four documents related to both foreign policy, so connected with military policy, well, alkus and so on, so ill say, just in case, throughout history, throughout history connected with the cold war, that is, you understand, what a period there was, there were them too only four have been accepted, that is, as far as this is the situation today. In germany there was an army group north, an army group south, that is, everything overlaps like this, the basis lies there, of course, these are the armed forces of germany, well, in addition to germany, everyone else is involved, but it is this german component that directs the teachings from there. The movement of the tenth Tank Division indicates that by may, june of this year, the grouping of nato forces will reach its maximum concentration along our state boundaries, what this is connected with. You understand, this is how similar it is, against the background of which these exercises are being carried out, a special military operation that is being carried out today Russian Federation on the territory of ukraine, and what do all military analysts say, what are they saying today in the western media, that the Russian Federation is preparing a largescale offensive in mayjune, in mayjune at the same time the United States with its companions, they are forming appropriate groups, lets say they have formed, they will decide to enter the territory of belarus, the territory of ukraine, well, there are already questions, but nevertheless we are more interested in our country, well, look, this concentration troops it is not necessary that they should immediately begin to attack us, although this brings with it certain challenges, threats beyond any doubt, and provocations, everything is possible, these are challenges of threat, that is, we recently adopted a concept where everything is just very described , now it is a military doctrine, a concept, all of this is available in the open. You can read it already on the internet, where exactly these aspects, issues related to the development of the militarypolitical situation, were foreseen when it was just beginning these documents are being written, so its very interesting to look at them, so what is this . First, they are showing us strength, they are trying, as they say, to carry out issues of Strategic Deterrence against us, well, as a union state, and so on, at this time the Russian Federation is forced to divert a huge number of troops from carrying out this operation, in order to cover its state border, and this is the air defense system, this is the reconnaissance force, this is the air force, this is ground forces, that is, what could ensure the security of the same. And the belgorod, kursk region, carry out the task of deidentification, demilitarization, liberation of newly annexed lands, today the Russian Federation is forced to keep all this in other directions, because look how serious the approach is today, in all their conceptual documents, including the newly adopted british ones that im talking about, it is said that by the year thirtieth, 2030, it is necessary complete issues related to neutralizing the Russian Federation in order to then move on. In this indopacific , help these United States complete issues related directly to china, and then the golden billion can continue to rest on their laurels, receive free resources, exploit other peoples, nationalities, that is, in essence, globalism will take its place in the world and will ensure that , what is necessary, what we call nontraditional values, what they are trying to present to us today, and we need to understand that in these conditions the ukrainian theater is, of course, a ukrainian direction, a strategic one, it is very important, you look how many directions still exist around open ones, which today in the baltic countries and the same scandinavian countries are today trying to disperse russophobia in relation to russia, that today border crossings are being closed, as is the case with russians, that is , the attitude there has become rabid in terms of what to make of the russian people, and the same outcasts as at one time they tried to make jews and. Well , its difficult to say for sure how long this conflict will continue, but given exactly how it is being carried out today, i dont want to say that it will always be carried out in such conditions at the tactical level, military operations are carried out exclusively at the tactical level, im not talking about the defeat of military economic targets, thats. A slightly different story, thats it, but nevertheless, i want to say that this conflict is for a very, very long time, and that russia today may be it is not actively carrying out these offensives, it is the presence of these nato troops along our borders that makes us think, because the main and most combatready group of the Russian Federation armed forces is located precisely on the territory of ukraine, and if the issue becomes more acute, and more islands in look at what the public wrote about, for example, recently, this weekend. She stated that they are already beginning to assert that there are issues related to the entry of nato troops into the territory of ukraine, and it says the first thing, if there is a third party that intervenes, and then this third party is registered as the republic of belarus, so it says that if russia carries out an attack, for example, on moldova, poland, the baltic states, romania and so on, well, its a question this is even about. But the breakthrough of the ukrainian front is something else, this is already stated by none other than the democratic congressmen, that in the event of a breakthrough of the ukrainian front, us congressmen declare this, and of course macron echoes, today without macron , as you understand, what events are taking place, he is everywhere, macron is everything in terms of invasion, but this must be taken very, very seriously, very seriously in what regard, you look that the Russian Federation is trying to carry out this special military operation, its not trying, but its carrying out and quite successfully carries out, if we are talking specifically about the strategy of starvation of this side and. For the efficiency of conducting military operations, which in essence are not carried out there at all, then it must be said that the Russian Federation has had success, the most the main thing is, look how motivated the people are there, this soldier here, the whole war today in the north military district, lies on the shoulders of sergeants and captains, you know, thats why i say again, i emphasize that operations are not carried out, precisely on the tactical level, these are feats, heroism, this is the tactical. Savvy of a russian soldier, a russian officer, it is worth a lot, if a political decision is made, it is the political decision that is not enough today to conduct largescale operations, then they will carried out in a very short time, because the Russian Federation has superiority in almost all means, then please explain why, lets say we read there, they took one settlement, the second, well, these are small small small settlements, and then, well, there is no such thing as the jingoistic patriots are waiting for such a massive advance of russia across the territory, well, probably not only the jingoistic patriots are waiting, yes, in the end this could have ended, you and i saw how it began in february of 22, this is precisely with the operation, as a small group of 180,000 people, practically it reached kharkov, Everything Else has already reached kiev, then the istanbul agreements took place, everything went away and today all this is being carried out there in the donetsk and lugansk peoples republics, there in the kherson region and so on, so this. Approximately, you know, i always want to draw analogies, there was such a gelp operation, this was an operation of nazi germany against france, and so there was a unique case, like. Just this idea was proposed at one time by erich von manstein, here is a detour through neutral countries, a way out and just an approach in france, basically there, of course, schlifans plan lay down, this is the principle of a closing door, the more active the french are, the more of them are surrounded, so this maneuver was so effective, and the German Forces did not exceed france, they reached paris, and the dunkerque miracle took place there, it was also an agreement, i say, capitalists will always agree, there was an agreement there. Thats why the bunker miracle happened, everyone was able to go there to cross, part of the french troops, the main part of the british troops returned to britain, so if it were approximately the same situation, that when the germans reached paris, they suddenly stopped, turned around, went back to return to the maginot line, because it remained there and there just like all these latarings, alsaces and starting to fight, breaking through the majenu line, about the same situation arose in the Russian Federation, when they suddenly withdrew from. In fact, from surrounded kiev, from near kharkov, from under the sum, everywhere , and they were transferred to fight where there are the largest number of fortified areas, i understand that this is a policy that always prevails over the military component, prevails over the military, i say, today the time has come, many important nodes of resistance have been broken through, namely in ukraine, these resistance nodes make it possible to move reserves there and truly enter the operational space. Many believe that operational space is the distance from one line to the next tactical line, no, of course, this is already a matter of course, when the Tactical Defense zone is broken through and the troops go out into the void, they then begin to operate in a vacuum. A similar situation, by the way, arose when you remember, ukraine carried out this kharkov operation in the kupa direction, where there were no russian troops, they essentially acted in emptiness, why they werent there is also a big question, as they say, but quite controversial , i think that even this program is not enough to analyze it exactly. In some details, but i want to do it again to say, if a political decision is made, it is the issue of the Land Component that will be resolved, and the sea component, today there is a big question, here, unfortunately, this is a problem not only of the russian fleet, i think, of all modern fleets, and of course the black sea fleet today is certainly already carry out those landing operations that he could have carried out at the very beginning in odessa, and i believe this victory was stolen from the russian fleet, again i say, well, politics prevails. This probably means that from a political point of view it was correct, it means that there were some agreements, there was some kind of political necessity, but i say that in all situations, as long as we can, as they say, come to some kind of agreement with the west, i understand perfectly well that she is still being deceived , you see, here the question is precisely about the existence of the state; the question is precisely a special military operation, if we continue to raise denazification and demilitarization, no others. Tasks are not worth it, then the west, the collective west, raises the question of the strategic defeat of russia, namely such, this is how this question is posed, in particular , both cameron and macron recently stated that this is exactly the target setting, the following is what they say if ukraine loses, then the entire collective west loses, and this cannot be allowed, therefore you also need to understand to realize that even those peace negotiations that they are trying to talk about today, but it is impossible to defeat it, history shows that it can only be undermined from within, this fifth column, precisely during this counteroffensive, it did not work, thats all there were these, when it all didnt work, the general plan began to not work, the general plan, which was laid down precisely in inflicting a strategic defeat on russia, today the west does not know what to do, hence such statements, they rush from one statement to another, what to do with russia, it is no coincidence that
