and the same senator sandes who doesn't like the concessions that the democrats have made on immigration legislation, and so we have 48 democrats who are going to vote to support this bill, in order for it to be considered, then there has to be at least 12 republicans out of 49 who support it , whether or not those votes will... it's hard to say, my feeling was that if the senate voted for this bill, it would have an impact, at least on the moderate republicans in the house representatives, in the house of representatives there is an item of the regulation that allows , in principle, to put a bill on the agenda by bypassing the speaker, even if the speaker does not want to consider it, you can collect 218 signatures and then the law... the project

will be forcibly included on the agenda, you can consider, but it would make sense if the senate voted in favor, but i don't know how the senate will vote at the moment, i still hoped that yesterday the day that the senate would be able to support this bill, but now i can't say what, what i i am sure of this, because of the news that i told about, well, i remind our viewers that we are waiting for the address of joseph biden, the president of the united states of america. to congress with a call to pass a bill on strengthening security on the border between the united states and mexico and providing assistance to ukraine, it is important here that a very small amount of those 60 billion will go directly to ukraine, and most of the money there, more than 40 billion, will remain in the united states of america precisely for manufacturing weapons, or selling weapons there, that is, there is an opinion that, in principle , during this short time that remained, well, no one canceled phone conversations, the meetings are short, they can affect that part.

congress, well, you have already divided the congress even more, in principle, johnson may not put it to the vote, which again can be bypassed by his will, put his ad hoc there, that’s it, but it is the representatives, the powerful representatives of the military-industrial complex, who will say, listen , people, it's jobs, it's money, it's taxes, and actually, it's an opportunity to destroy the military the potential of russia, which is a recognized, recognized threat to the united states of america, could that have an impact? the problem , you see, is that the far-right republicans, that part of the republican party that is the far-right, they don't see russia as an enemy at all, they don't see russia as an enemy of the united states of america, as the far-right propagandist, tucker carlson, says, he is, he is now he is in moscow, by the way, he repeated many times, russia is not our enemy, and ukraine is not our friend, and this, this is the position of such... right-wing republicans. and regarding

of the military-industrial complex, well , you are absolutely right, because this same money, a much larger part of these 60 billion, it will simply, will go to the american economy, precisely to the military-industrial complex, because if, if weapons or ammunition are transferred this means that the administration orders weapons and ammunition for ukraine from the pentagon bases in order to restore stocks at the bases. the pentagon, if new weapons are ordered, ah, which are manufactured specifically for ukraine, then again the money goes to the military-industrial complex and new jobs are created, that is, even from the point of view of the american economy, it is profitable, here i was early this morning, when i was going to work there, i was watching tv, when i had breakfast, and for a whole hour on the msnbc channel, the host of the morning program jos. carbur, former.

by the way, the republican congressman, he and the guests who were there, they said that republicans who do not support aid to ukraine, they support putin, they support a dictator, they go against american values, against fundamental american values ​​that senator king also spoke there, an independent senator who is a member of the democratic faction, he says that this is it, if you do not... to help ukraine, it will be a historical very big mistake of the united states as a country, that this will absolutely undermine trust in the united states as an ally on the part of all allies in all countries, and nevertheless, as the first ukrainian president said, we have what we have. well , by the way, about karlan tucker, he is now in russia, he used to go to the bolshoi theater, i think he still went to pavel volya's show.

such a pro-russian showman on the same pro-russian channel gazprom tnt, as far as i understand, it was tnt, and he was invited to join the union of russian journalists, which is headed by this one. solovyov , their propagandist, almost said otherwise , the propagandist, well, i wonder if carson will join the russian union of journalists or not, but in any case, well, it looks completely idiotic, i mean, in the states , people have to to understand, the person whom trump saw as his vice president, has to attention of carton tucker, the ex-host of fox news , who is now in russia, he actually sits in the lair of a terrorist, an enemy, a murderer, a bandit, and this and his boss, let's say, trump on... today actually blocks aid to ukraine , isn’t it, as this kiselyov said, the one that , dmitriy, it’s a coincidence, i don’t think so, please, well, he said, and he repeated it many times, that russia is not our enemy, and ukraine is not our friend, so there is no need to support ukraine,

in general he, what did he not accuse ukraine of, imagine, this is what i heard, i just heard myself, how he, he, him with fox was fired, he now has. his program simply on the former twitter, elon musk gave him a platform, and he accused ukraine , for example, of persecuting christians, so any actions, such very soft, i would say, actions against the moscow patriarchate in ukraine, this is how carlson interprets for americans listening to him that this is the persecution of christians in ukraine, so what can we expect from him? the problem, the problem, you see, is that... the republican party, well , absolutely, it is under trump, even that part of it, let's say, the same mitch mccone, the leader of the republicans in the senate, a classic conservative politician, very experienced, and who, by the way, has always supported ukraine, he, what he says that he

yesterday, the day before yesterday, he supported this bill, yesterday already after trump said no, he says, there should still be some... changes so that it can be made there, and otherwise it should not be supported, i will tell you that it it's a shame, it's a shame, i don't know, i'm just ashamed, you know, it's a shame for the united states, although, you know, you know, these stories are the worst, if, i will say the end, i thought so to myself, if we look at the long-standing, many-decade-long confrontation between the usa and russia, as two antagonistic systems. life, politicians , it is a pity that russia has its own people, in fact , well, people who sympathize with it, maybe not their own, who actually play into its hands, at the top of the us government, and in the us there is no one who could influence politics putin, well , who is winning here, the question is very, well , and everything is obvious, yes, everything is absolutely obvious,

despite the fact that, let's say, the usa is now helping to circumvent sanctions and earn money for the dprk, they cannot help us in a banal way with what, well, in a word, we believe that they can, what will happen, we will hear the appeal. biden, i have to put a full stop, thank you very much for joining, thank you for your comments, igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, was on the phone with us, we are waiting for, again, biden's address to congress, on the air at you will hear it from us, and the translation will be, of course, well, now you will hear and see serhiy zgurets, the director of the defense express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, serhiy, congratulations , please, congratulations, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today in our column, while waiting for biden's speech, we will talk about the supply of ammunition to... ukraine against the background of a visit to kyiv representative of the european union on security issues of foreign policy, as well as about the situation on certain areas of the front in a conversation with our military, about that in a moment.

today, the high representative of the european union for foreign policy and security policy, jose borel, arrived in kyiv for a visit. so i will start our military column from european history about shells for ukraine, more precisely about the fate of shells, because we remember that european countries promised to transfer 1 million shells of 155 mm caliber to ukraine, but by march at best they will be able to deliver only half, that is, just before arriving in the representative of the european union in kyiv, jose borel , said that the eu is not fulfilling its own plans for the supply of ammunition to... ukraine, not because the eu countries lack production capacity, the matter is different, because he says we can produce, but it is important some of our products are exported to third countries - boreli said, so it is better that the eu countries negotiate with their customers and

redirect these products to ukraine, that's how, in my opinion, there are two conclusions in these stories, the first, why the eu didn't do it earlier, and because in fact... the leadership of the eu does not really have effective mechanisms of influence on the defense industry of their countries. the threat of a war with russia for europe, as far as i am concerned, has not yet become such a sufficient factor for a radical reformatting of the work of european defense industry, and it is, by the way, private and operates according to market mechanisms and rather focuses on already paid contracts. and the second conclusion: boreli is still wrong about the assessment of the capabilities of european countries to produce a sufficient amount of ammunition to meet the real needs of the ukrainian army. and how much... it is necessary and how much these european countries can produce.

last year, during the counteroffensive, ukraine used up to 7,000 ammunition per day, and it was actually fire the peak of ukraine. and now, as defense minister umirov recently wrote to european partners, ukraine is experiencing a critical shortage of artillery shells and the armed forces can. shoot no more than 2,000 shells per day, which is three times less than russia uses. and now the ministry of defense of ukraine has asked its partners to supply about 200,000 shells per month, or 2.4 million per year, that is , to supply a daily rate of fire of about 6,500 rounds of ammunition, but now russia has its own production along with the supply of shells from north... korea will have up to 4 million shells per year, that is, actually 11 thousand per

day, so the enemy still has a certain quantitative advantage. now regarding the production of tempos, regarding the production of ammunition in the countries of the usa and the european union. in fact, by the end of this year, according to optimistic figures, the united states will be producing about 1.2 million shells. with. european countries have the following indicators: rainmetal will produce 800 thousand, the french company leading in the production of ammunition will to make 100,000 and about 80,000 per year will be manufactured by the namo concern, which unites three countries there, france, sweden, the netherlands and finland, they will make 80,000, that is, in general, we should expect production up to... 2-2 ammunition, but it will still be at the end of this year according to the most

optimistic indicators, that is why some countries of the european union, in particular the baltic countries, are talking about the need to purchase shells in other countries, and not only in the countries of the european union. what can these options be? well, in particular, you can talk about it the fact that i will purchase shells from south korea, australia, japan, india, pakistan, and my own supply. cluster munitions from the united states, all this can be done, i really hope that these steps will be taken to minimize the advantage of the enemy on the battlefield, because now, as we see, our gunners are forced to make changes in their tactics of combat operations, use shells extremely sparingly , sometimes they even have to ignore these russian attacks in small groups, because they will no longer release one projectile there or several three shells for each of these ... attack aircraft, the enemy actually uses it, so it basically affects the course

of hostilities, and now we are forced to bring to the fore the use of fpv drones, which can only partially compensate for the lack of full-fledged artillery. and then we will move on to a more detailed consideration of the situation on certain areas of the front, because the intensity, by the way, over the past day was extremely high 126. combat clashes, this is actually, in my opinion, well , the highest indicator, starting from october last year, when russia started its there regular offensive actions on almost all areas of the front, and now there are many such areas of the front that are hot, there is tsevdiyivka, and maryanka, and actually the kupin-limansk direction, what is happening there, now we will learn more details for us, ivan shevtsov is joining us now , this is the head of the press service. the 15th mobile border detachment of the state border service of ukraine, more precisely and

shorter, is the steel border assault brigade. mr. ivan, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. i would like to have you to ask what the current situation is in the area of ​​responsibility of your brigade, because one way or another it has a tangent right there to the area of ​​kupyansk. there is a lot of information that the enemy is trying to attack si... i understand that somewhere near you there was information that the enemy is either trying to bypass sinkivka or is unable to do so, what is the latest information from this section of the front where yours is? brigade. in general , the situation in the liman-kupensky direction remains tense. the enemy continues to attempt to attack the positions of the defense forces. if we talk directly about the kupyan direction, then the hottest spot there is the sinkivka settlement. it was there during the past day that the enemy tried to go on the offensive eight times, but all attacks

were repulsed. the other day, literally two or three days ago. the enemy tried to bypass sinkivka and enter from the direction of ivanivka, but suffered a loss there as well, so now senkivka still remains the hottest point in the kupinsky direction. and about the accumulation of enemy forces. we all remember the information there two days ago, when fors wrote there, everyone began to comment there in fright that 40,000 personnel, 500 tanks and such and such were not stored there. as i understand it, in fact, this is information. a little wrong, because de facto the enemy still received a significant amount of personnel and equipment in this area, realizing that it is very easy to supply weapons to the equipment from the russian federation. is there actually an accumulation of some additional strength now compared to what was there a gap of a couple of weeks before that. all right, enemy

really carries out the accumulation of personnel and equipment, but i want to note that this is in accordance with its planned rotation, that this situation occurs periodically, since the enemy suffers quite large losses during the assaults, then it must be replenished accordingly, and this number and tanks and personnel, it arrives just in time to replenish those resources that the enemy lost, for example, only during the past day in the lamano-kupinsky direction, the enemy lost wounded and killed... almost 300 servicemen, 279, also suffered large losses in equipment, that is, if we said that 500-600 tanks arrived a week ago, then only in the past day the enemy lost 88 units of equipment, of which 12 tanks and 34 bmps, that is, this is a renewal of those losses that he bears. mr. ivan, when we spoke with you

two weeks ago, you said then that the enemy in principle makes little use of armored vehicles, it operates as ground assault groups, now, if there is such a significant number of losses of tanks, bmps, does it mean that the has the enemy started using armored vehicles in your area during offensive operations? the number of affected equipment depends primarily on the number of enemy attacks, if two weeks ago there were six to eight attacks, then during the past day there were 28 combat clashes. the more the enemy storms , the more he uses his equipment, and therefore manages to hit more tanks, more bmps, that is, the enemy does not change tactics in principle, he conducts assaults, and when there are favorable weather conditions, and now they are more or less favorable , then accordingly uses heavy equipment. if i ask you a little bit about another direction, there is tabaivka

starchy, how far is it from us, do you know what is happening there, what is there from the point of view of deterring the enemy, at the moment, well , starchy, the defense forces there retreated literally 200-300 m in order to save lives and occupy more advantageous fire positions position, everything there remains as it was, the enemy has not carried out any offensive actions on tabaivka recently, it is under the full control of the armed forces of ukraine. and i would like to ask in more detail about the enemy's use of aviation, artillery and drones, how are these three components currently used by the enemy, what is the relationship with our capabilities in these three components? the enemy uses both aviation and drones, uses them actively, again it depends on the weather conditions,

when it snows or rains heavily, then the use is made accordingly. is decreasing, during the past day we had one airstrike and 23 fpv drone use, in principle it is not much, sometimes more, sometimes 50 and 60 drone use, as far as we are concerned, we are not standing still, he is right now you you see one of the defeats of the equipment that was used by the enemy to arrange its engineering structures, this is the work of the border guards of the steel border. we constantly conduct aerial reconnaissance and, in case of detection of any new positions, take measures to destroy enemy positions and equipment. well, that is, in fact, the enemy, as always , tries to dig in at any opportunity, and as we can see, the kortonians are fighting this, but the question arises, our

fortification, i hope that we are also now taking measures aimed at strengthening our own fortifications? in war, fortification is a primary measure, before sending a soldier to a position, this position must be equipped , equipped in terms of engineering, so... that is why we have fortifications, we have had a lot of time since the summer, we are on in this area, we dug up deep enough, good fortifications, and now our servicemen are all safe, and this is the most important thing, we are really also practicing new positions, we are making new positions and carrying out mining of the area on today. the day of mining the area allows to prevent the penetration of the drg, and when we remember a little about what was used,

as i understood, now the weather has worsened, and on both sides the impression of the use of these means has decreased, and then the artillery comes to the forefront again , do we have some parity, do we still have to conserve ammunition, because before including in your... i was trying to analyze what 's happening with the amount of ammunition, that we are somehow less able than enemy, perhaps the situation in your area is somewhat different, i will not say about the units that are with us and other units of the armed forces, i can only say about the units of the steel border, we have our own artillery, i will not say that we do not have ammunition , they are there, we use them, but we have a very big... difference from the armed forces of the russian federation, which is that every shot, our shot, it must be accurate. our servicemen, our

gunners, try not to fire chaotically, as the military does of the russian federation, and to fire accurate shots directly at the specified coordinates, that is, aerial reconnaissance works, detects some object, and it is on this object that the shelling goes, and the enemy carries it out. with mainly chaotic shelling aimed at scaring the local population, it is shelling not only the positions of the defense forces, but also border settlements, both in the conflict zone and on the state border with the russian federation. mr. ivan, i would also like to ask about mortars, because i heard that in fact a significant part of the work there is firework is done by mortars, what about you, do you have enough ammunition for mortars, are they used in... fighting the enemy? yes, of course, we also actively use mortars, every unit of ours is armed with mortars, but still, there is no

way to constantly use them in order, again, in order to save the lives of servicemen, two or three shots the servicemen hide in the dugout , discovered some position, discovered the movement of enemy servicemen, carried out two or three. hid in the dugout, all this is done so that our soldiers remain alive and healthy. and what other restrictions does winter now impose on the conduct of hostilities, are there any urgent needs that need to be met from the point of view of our military, are there any nuances related to winter? if we talk about everyday life, in principle, we do not have such difficult weather conditions now. there is no frost -20, the servicemen are provided with everything necessary, the state, our unit provides well, this is the offensive guard brigade, in principle, we are in no way

we don't need anything, but fpv drones are a constant need, because we use them most often and it is thanks to fpv drones that we have the most positive injuries, but now the combined military brigades, separate brigades are moving. to the fact that their companies of unmanned strike systems are becoming battalions, the number of personnel is increasing , which are using, well, buckets of various purposes, does this trend extend to the brigades of the state border service, as in the example of your brigade, it happens when when our brigade was formed, all this was already taken into account, each unit that we have has in its composition the corresponding air reconnaissance departments. and the strike drone unit, in addition, we have a separate unit of combat strike drones that are used completely throughout the site, that is, we anticipated this

earlier and used it. all its potential as much as possible, perhaps, then you also have separate units that are focused on the use of electronic warfare means, that is, perhaps there or detachment, or even a separate company within the brigade, which performs this responsible task, there are also separate units that carry out the detection and fight against drones, and in addition to this, we also have trench soldiers and every serviceman. who is in position, he is trained to work with anti-drone guns, we have an echelon, echelon system of combating drones and we use all the possible available means that we have, and this allows, first of all, again to preserve the lives and health of our fighters mr. ivan, thank you very much for yours inclusion, for what you do for our country, for what your brothers do, i will remind our viewers that this... was ivan

shevtsov, the head of the press service of the 15th mobile border detachment, which is now actually an assault brigade the steel border , which is currently performing its task in the direction of kupyansk, because in fact now it is also one of the difficult directions, where the enemy, using a significant advantage in manpower and equipment, is trying to influence our defense, but for a long time it has not no results except loss... for of the enemy, these were the main military results of the day, and more international and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel, thank you serhiy zgurts, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day.
