thank you to iryna koval, thank you to the news editors, extremely succinct and prompt about all the most important things, but there are much more events than hours. at first glance, and they will catch up with us, so to speak, during the day, and we, accordingly, will inform you, dear tv viewers, and will attract the relevant best ukrainian and not only of ukrainian experts, marta olyarnyk and antin borkovskyi of espresso live studios and are ready to add our first speaker, ivan stupak, a military expert and sbu employee from 2004 to 2015. mr. ivan, we traditionally welcome you to espresso. congratulations, traditionally you are a studio, thank you very much for inviting me. so, mr. ivan, we have

successful attacks by our drones or other means that work very successfully not only on the territory of the russian federation, but also on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea. and we received information that yesterday and at the airfield something was exploding in belbek, something was happening, and there is also information that gur conducted a successful operation in the crimea and sank a missile boat and... novitz. and in fact, we have the previous days, very successful, hits and hits in st. petersburg. i would like your assessment of whether this leaky russian air defense system can no longer cope with the means that our brave boys and girls already have. yes, let's start from the end, let's start with ivanovets, it's just such a christian story, i have to mention it. undeniably extremely high quality and great work by our military scouts , they just mocked the russian

military ship, they just sneered at the sailors who were there, if i am not mistaken, for almost two minutes, the ukrainian scouts cut this russian ship lengthwise with these drones, i counted, it seems, three hits on this the ship, you can see in your video the hole from the first hit and the second... there will be a third hit, that is, they just mocked the ship, sunk this ship, the apofios of this video at the end, when he sticking out almost like the titanic out of the water, and the latest drone is filming it all. what adds to these stories, you know, tragedy or drama for the russians, because in june of the 23rd year , this very ship was on training firing in the black sea. sunk the target ship, it is a ukrainian ship called ternopil

, which was captured by the russians during the annexation of crimea in the 14th year, that is, the balance of forces in nature, it exists, if you sank a ukrainian ship last year, then this year you will go to bottom, that is, ivanovets joined the ternopil, but there are certain nuances, it is important to note, in addition, you are talking about... air defense, well, let's put it this way, it is not leaky yet, they have capabilities, electronic warfare, and there are forces and means to shoot down our drones or our rockets, but personally i feel. there is a lot of tension in this , that is, they shoot down ukrainian missiles without playing around, that is, strainingly, tensely, somewhere they shoot down ukrainian missiles directly with their objects, with their airfields, with their planes, but that is, the successes of our military are one hundred percent, and we see that they are getting better every time, that is

, we keep our fingers, fists, and hands on them, i think everything will be fine, mr. ivan. look , and you explain to us, please, what the destruction of this russian communication point on belbek means, so we understand that it can be a tactical story, it can be an operational story, of what level, so to speak, this communication point connection and in general, explain to tv viewers what it gives us? look what we know for sure is the destruction of at least three planes, that's what was in the open access to russian, three planes su. plus, the destruction of m-m seems to be 12 employees, military personnel who were at this airport, well, at this location, that is, the planes are not taking off now, ah, they will not fire, well at least these three planes , a few more were damaged, but there is such dubious information, they will not

terrorize the front-line regions, they will not now drop cabs, these guided aerial bombs on... positions of the ukrainian military, that is, this is a big, big plus, a plus was message, plus there was a message that seven russian elite military intelligence officers , special forces were destroyed at another location, that is, they are still counting the losses inflicted on them by the ukrainian military, but in any case, this is a serious blow to the russians, and more since what it gives us is minus the spice, it's really spices. of the highest level, who could trouble our military, kill our military, now they will not kill, this is minus the aviation, which will not fly now, and our military, well at least they will be able to a little bit, well, not to relax , but to feel at the forefront, a little bit easier, because they don't fly in from the air, huh, mr. ivan, look, even today we saw

certain main theses from kyril budanov's cnn interview, and actually he says: that the armed forces need a sharp increase in the number of guns, regardless of their age and type. also , defense minister umyerov bloomberg writes that in a letter to the eu countries, he noted that ukraine is experiencing a critical shortage of artillery shells. and we understand that the enemy is now across the north korea has the ability to cover its deficits. at the expense of what, probably, we could cover these deficits, and do you think that , well, in the near future, this could significantly affect the course of hostilities and actually the success of the occupiers, who are now trying , despite everything, to achieve some success? look, let's talk about the numbers right away, we have already said this before with you in previous broadcasts, but it should be noted, reminded, according to the wall street

journal, it seems that they did this analysis, the russians shoot at the ukrainians every day... 10,000 shells per day, 10,000 shells along the entire front line, of course, somewhere more, somewhere less, at the same time, european analysts give, call the figure 20 thousand shells, well, okay, let's take the minimum figure that we have, in at the same time, according to the wall street journal, ukraine fires 2,000 shells a day at russian positions along the entire front line, i.e. the difference is a whopping five times, but in the worst case scenario. 10 times if we can't get the shells soon as promised by the europeans, and we expect a lot from the americans, so it is likely that this number of shots per day can decrease from 2 thousand to 1,500 to a thousand, maybe even less, that is, it is really a catastrophic level, but despite everything, our military is really not untruthful at such a

moral and strong-willed level qualities, they are precisely thanks to the drones, which are... bought somewhere by the state, somewhere by our volunteers, they simply hold the front line and do not allow the russians to advance as the russians intended, or as it could have happened at any time - any other circumstances, in other words, they are inflicting great losses on them, every day the russians lose a few, well , a dozen or even two dozen units of various equipment, this is precisely because of the use of ukrainian drones, these are means of observation, this is heavy equipment. but heavy equipment is perhaps not so important, because it is restored regularly, but what the russians do not restore are loaves, atvs, some motorcycles, some pickup trucks, cars that are used to move small groups between positions, ammunition, food, provisions, water, the wounded, and themselves

the russians whine that these losses from ukrainian drones are not being recovered, the russian army is not recovering these losses, and for them they are the most painful, mr. ivan, well, one of the most important topics, we have now discussed, analyzed the topics, without a doubt , important, these are extremely important successes, but the topic is complex, a topic with many unknowns, the key players are the office of the president, the president of ukraine, the head of zaluzhny and the mass media, friendly western democracies, yes, well, they write, and we read and worry, they as if they own some additional information, which , at least, marta and i are not under our control, and they refer to some anonymous sources, their own. informants, well, they say that such a certain political decision may be made , in particular, it is about the resignation of the head of the zaluzhny, that is, here it is not a question, so

to speak, of one or another, i don’t know, military-political expediency, but we must understand that it can have certain consequences, yes, because, well, commanding troops in wartime is an extremely complex business, and it's not just the boss who's in charge, it's the whole team in charge. well and accordingly, let 's think about the probability in general, if such a rumor is started, yes, maybe, maybe it's false , we don't know that, yes, it can also be done for some purpose, if it's true, then let's talk about the consequences, yes , let's go, these gossips, these throwaways, this information has been appearing since the 22nd year with different frequency of information. this space of ukraine, the penultimate time there was such a large-scale, well, an attack, it was in december, do you remember, it seems at the beginning of december, when also some people's deputies

reported that the decision was 100% approved , but the decision was not made in substance, the same in this case, my personal belief is that mr. zaluzhnyi will most likely be released, let's conceptually, i always say, in accordance with the constitution. the president can do it, it is purely his parish in general, maybe, well, but being able to do it is different things, the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of defense, the military, it is his, he can do it, another matter is that mr. zaluzhny, he enjoys crazy authority, crazy respect, trust, like among ordinary citizens, this is how we see it among the military, well, okay, there can be different aspects, some like it, some don't like it, there is a gala. there are achievements, but they undoubtedly enjoy authority and respect, the same authority and respect is among those colleagues with whom he communicates, mr. zaluzhnyi, there is lloyd austin, some french

colleagues, british colleagues, there are italian, greek, various, various yes, we are fixing it all, and i think that the decision on dismissal will be made when an adequate replacement is found, now that we with... again, according to the western press, this decision was not made precisely because those people who were offered this position refused, and to fire a good person and not appoint anyone is not an option at all, in my opinion, it is ideal the situation , what would it look like from the point of view of communication, the first view, the first point , i'm sorry, the first position is communication, as i said, if you explained, we fire mr. zaluzhny, i made a decision, i'm the president, why? due to the fact that i want to see him in another position, here i see for example, that the secretary of the national security council, he will be much more effective there than he is now, a person who is three or four

heads higher than mr. zaluchny is applying for his position, he has five or six different plans for further offensive, counteroffensive, how to inflict maximum pain on the russians, he enjoys authority and respect among the military plus western partners, so this replacement will not be equal, but much... better, that's it, no questions, everyone understood, if there is a replacement, let's go, a football player on the field , when replacing a football player, one is tired, or his injury will be replaced by another one, who is not worse, but maybe better at some points, it’s great, if you just replace him, fire him precisely because of political motives and put in his place a person who is not, for example, a media person, not are respected among the military, they don't trust her, okay, not civilians. and western partners , after all, do not enjoy the authority and respect of ordinary people, so i believe that this is a wrong step and it is wrong to do so.

well, we agree with you, well, industrious is, i don't know, fortunately for him or unfortunately , well, we understand, this is not just a military man, he entered the public discourse, that is, he is an integrative figure, and we also understand that a lot of issues, for example, are always removed thanks to the authority of the another military leader, well, that's how it is, yes, because very often they are forced to make decisions that are not always popular. and if, for example, we talk about our western allies and logic in general, we understand that the resignation of the head of the zaluzhny will mean that someone has to take responsibility, a huge responsibility, that is, we understand, it is both a question of the level of competence and a question of the level of cooperation with certain environments, we understand, that is, there are competent people, but you know, there is also

a ceiling of competence, so to speak, because... well, we have to to learn and you have to understand and you have to communicate, it’s very difficult, that is, well, it happens, that is, i don’t know, the level of management of one structure, and here together people, suddenly a person can be put at the level of management of an entire branch of production, yes, that is, it is certain different things, absolutely that's right, you and i talked about it, maybe not, well, we assume that there is no person who is ready to take on this burden. just dive headlong into the war, if it were, there would be civilian, civilian peacetime, well , there is no doubt that there are generals, an ambitious man, i want, i want, here is a war, here life, health, country are at stake , that's all, and few people want to get into such a responsibility right now, so it would be possible, let's assume for mr. zaluzhny to leave the game now, maybe the best option, he left, he saved,

it's... like a champion boxer who came out invincible, but no one beat him at all, it's the 23rd year, something didn't work out, but people perceive it with adequacy, with normality, because everything was done as much as possible, but once again , there is no person who can yet, at least in the official discourse, maybe somewhere inside the military structure there are generals, ambitious, who know, understand, but i don't know, not in the political party, yes, they are in the wrong political sphere. in that political orbit they are not noticed, and those who are, they do not reach, and again we say the scale of the personality, and you correctly noted, the ceiling: sooner or later every person reaches the level of his incompetence, yes , as in your field, yes, journalists are super class there, for example, i don’t know, the chief journalist, or managing some project is cool, but when they say , let's appoint you, i don't know there as the director of the entire tv channel or

media holding, wow, there are already certain problems here, as well as in other areas, and in the sbu, and in the medical field, and in doctors, and everyone, everyone , everyone mr. ivan, we would like to draw your attention to one difficult situation of the internal kitchen, so to speak, this is the actual persecution, the possible persecution and wiretapping of journalists, and zelensky actually fired the head of the department for the protection of the nation state of the security service, and just before that, a few days ago, there was a representative meeting. g7 together with the ukrainian media community, and we see zelenskyi's decision to resign the head of this department, i have a question for you as a person who once served in the security service of ukraine. well, i personally do not believe in such a coincidence, do you think that some of ours actually could western partners to influence this personnel decision, and actually, what do you think, can this personnel decision, and in principle optimization and

strengthening, how is it... now the sbu of this department can change approaches, let's say, in our state and still to guarantee journalists more or less safe and well such conditions that will allow them to fully perform their work, and that semenchenko, this head of the dznd department, was, well, i don’t know, maybe they heard something, of course you don’t tell any secrets there, well but no i know, maybe he is some kind of super-class specialist and he is innocent there, or maybe on the contrary he is so... such and such a servant and does not understand very well, well, different things happen, give me personal impressions from personal communication, a very adequate person, there are very, very few of them, still since i am not out of touch with the story, who was there listening to mr. bigus, it is not known for certain whether it was state bodies, whether it was the national police or the sbu, or some other body, or it was private performers who are ready to find him for money.
