congratulations, this is a joint project of the tv channel and the atr tv channel, together with beraber, in which we talk about the problems of the long-occupied crimea, we hope not for long. my name is khrystyna yatskiv, i congratulate dera muzhdabaev. alaykum salaam. well, let's start with this week's news items, probably the most recent, which is, after all, the change of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. valery zaluzhnyi of ukraine, general syrsky becomes the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. and does this mean a change? approaches, including regarding our movement to crimea and in crimea, when it will be appropriate? we will definitely ask the military this question. let us recall that it is from

the territory of the occupied crimea that the shelling of the territory of mainland ukraine is conducted, and in particular, the zircon missile that hit. in kyiv this week was launched from the territory of the crimean peninsula itself, let's also say a few words about it. the state of the naval group, the features of the new, interesting, in my opinion, special operation, special operations forces in the black sea, well, definitely logistical capabilities of the enemy. in the context of the last interview of the commander of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine oleksiy neyeshpapa. we'll start with that, but... what emphasis did you put on crimea this week? well, about crimea, in principle, i observed the same thing that you are saying, christ, i also, well, i saw this quote that you mean , that the bridge will be destroyed this year, obviously it has to happen, well, if there is

a sufficient quantity and quality and characteristics of the corresponding weapons, because crimea is now a hub of... armed, armed hub, hubs where missiles, the same drones, etc. are stored, are constantly shelled from there, that is , he does not give rest, because this is what, in their opinion, this is such an aircraft base in the black sea, but i think that later this situation will be corrected this, and it is interesting to really talk about it with specialists, because we may want to assume, but unfortunately we do not know, we do not know. although you know more than me, your military training impresses me every time, unfortunately, i do not have military training, but this kind of communication with our military leads to certain results, and i am very happy now to congratulate andriy rezhenko, captain of the first rank of the reserve of the naval forces, armed forces

of ukraine, strategic expert of the sonata company, congratulations to you, mr. andriy , glory to ukraine, and glory to the heroes, good day, salam alaikum, for sure we are from theses... let's start with the pope's food, the crimean bridge must be destroyed, and it will happen quite soon, most likely this year, we do not know what the optimism of the commander of the naval forces, the armed forces of ukraine is based on, but we hope that on something very practical. nevertheless, according to you, according to your opinion and according to your, in particular , military analysis, what percentage of russian military logistics in general is accounted for by... the kerch bridge, and can we say that no matter how we destroy it, the russians sooner or later, they know how to overcome the consequences , they know how to start the work again, and basically we know, you know, we just overcome, we try to try to patch

the problems that we have as we go, please, and well, first of all, i liked, as our president, he... called crimea the center of gravity war in the 24th year, and indeed, this is such a very interesting definition, because now the crimean peninsula is a critical force, a military force in the hands of the enemy, thanks to which it, therefore, influences the situation on the territory of ukraine, it does not conduct missile strikes on ... ukraine, he keeps the southern and eastern regions of our country occupied, and he keeps us practically half-cut off from our sea supply routes, that's why it

's a very important object, there really is a large military group there, until the beginning of the active ones. it was located there until the 22nd year of the war about 30 thousand people, russian military personnel, so i once looked at the ranking of the armies of the countries of the world. and looked that 30,000, that is, what the russians held only in crimea, this is more than the armed forces, half of the nato countries, separate, that is, the armed forces are simply smaller in these countries, that is, this is a really serious such group, its it is necessary to maintain, it is necessary to constantly supply ammunition, food, fuel. to evacuate the wounded and so on, that is, logistics are needed, just from the point of view

in terms of logistics, the crimean bridge is very important, especially its railway line, through the crimean bridge, well, according to various data, about 25% of logistics is delivered in the interests of this armed group located in crimea. the other part of the 75 is supplied through the corridor that was broken from the krasnodar region to the crimean peninsula, because in any case, i understand that our plans for the liberation of crimea, they will be built from the fact that we simply, let's say, actually make it impossible. smooth supply of that the group that is there, both from the north and from the east, precisely the eastern

direction, this is the crimean crimean bridge, this is what we see now, the russians, at the beginning of its construction, really predicted that there would be our opposition, especially it intensified at the beginning again, large-scale aggression, there have already been several cases, which means that we... carried out operations, when the bridge was seriously damaged for several months, there is such a threat even now, we are constantly increasing our combat potential with forces and means that can do, but do it is necessary, well, when it makes sense, when there will be maximum benefit from it, but i think that there are some plans. for this , and well, the commander of the navy, i think so, and had it in mind, but again, well, i want

to say that without the crimean bridge and without access to the crimean peninsula through the northern transept, through chongar and through armyansk , well, it becomes an island, and to supply the island, well, all the logistics, and therefore there is a separate one. this time of the year, especially in the autumn-winter period, when it is impossible at all, i remember when it functioned that ferry between kerch and the krasnodar territory earlier, there was such a time that the ferry was closed and did not function due to bad weather conditions, that is, taking into account the intensity of hostilities here , this logistics, the need for emergency services. very high mr. andriy, i want to clarify

a little what conditions and means you consider, well , at least, well, necessary, maybe not sufficient, but necessary, minimally necessary, in order to seriously impress the crimean, this kerch, i'm sorry, this is putin's word, he just called it that, the kerch bridge, already finally, because attempts there were, there were attempts. good luck, but still , it was obvious that we didn't have enough means , what we needed concretely, well, look, the destruction of such a bridge is a serious, let's say, mathematical task, a task, and because, if you remember, the first explosion , which was in october of the 22nd year, then, well, about 20 tons of explosives exploded, and then, we remember what the consequences were, the next explosion, then about a ton of explosives went off, so i think that our

experts know the construction of this bridge , and they plan the impression at the right time position, because really for such an object you need not tens, not hundreds of kilograms of explosives, but tons, but it is quite heavy to put it, such an amount, well, i think that they know the technical features of the bridge, and that's exactly what will happen used well, i want to say historically, for example, if we take the 41st year, then when leaving zaporizhzhia , the dnipro-hes was destroyed, and then, it means that the soviet troops used 21 tons and also explosives, and then

the length of the damage to the dam is falling there about a hundred. meters, that is, it is very important to know where this explosive will be located, the same can be said about, for example, the explosion in this dam of the kokhov hydroelectric power station last year, because the explosion that can be observed says that it was, well, planted in advance, and the people who planted this explosive, they... didn't know where it was, well, unfortunately, when carrying out sabotage operations on, well , in the conditions of this bridge, it 's difficult to do it, but i again, i think that our military calculates as much as possible effectively, how to deliver this charge and

solve this task, but it is really very serious and very... well, a difficult, difficult task, well, i think it will be solved. mr. andriy, this week russia carried out another missile attack on the territory of mainland ukraine, and the air force of the armed forces of ukraine even shared with us information about where some objects were launched from. well, the crimean presence, unfortunately, is colossal, from the shaheds of chauda. actually through sevastopol tu-22 m3 worked accordingly with x22 missiles. in addition to this, in addition this year, tarkhankut, also in crimea , fired three iskander m ballistic missiles. well , zircon, according to some information, actually this missile was also launched over kyiv from

the territory of the occupied crimea. can we talk about the fact that they... despite the fact that they have to hide the movement of such large-scale objects as missiles and so on from the defense forces, they effectively manage to do this, accordingly, they effectively manage to load missile carriers and effectively carry out shelling, well, again, crimea is a very convenient position for them to carry out such strikes, and we are can follow these are the starting positions , but again , there are not always enough forces and means to counter them, and besides , it must be said that they also have a system of defense, air defense, in crimea it is quite, quite seriously developed, this is probably one of the the most dense air defense systems in general on the territory of the russian

federation, and the one that is currently created on the territory of the crimean peninsula, really in... they launch at least three objects from the otsi ot shaheda, this is chaoda, this means balaklava, and this bilbek, the airfield , there was already such information, well, chauda, ​​it is very convenient for them, because there the opportunity is large enough to launch a large number of them, but... then, as for cerkon, yes, there was such a thing the assumption that it was launched from a project 135.6 frigate, well, it, as i understand it, is now novorossiysk, well, somewhere there, of course, it circulates between the crimea and novorossiysk, here, well, again, such a missile is quite interesting, but the fact that they

launched it was more, as i understand it, intended to make such an impact on the inhabitants of our country, well, the rocket is really quite so fast, although there is no data about it yet, besides the fact that it is very fast, it rises to a height of 30 km, there its direct-current engine is turned on, accelerates it to a speed of 3 km in fact /s, and it flies at such a speed... to the point at which it begins to fall on the target on, and therefore on the earth's surface, but what if... well , torkhanku is a known position, there are prepared starting positions of these complexes, such as iskander, they are mobile, and somewhere they hide them, well, again, here is the crimea in

in the hands of the russian federation is a very serious threat to us, and because they can shoot at us with missiles, they block shipping, and this is a serious threat to the countries of the black sea and mediterranean region, everyone understands this , and i think that they support us in for it to return under the control of ukraine and become actually peaceful and demilitarized, and not be in the status of an unsinkable aircraft carrier, which we are now. mr. andriy, i have a dream that crimea would be as pro-military as possible. but under the conditions that it belongs to ukraine, so that no one else enters there from any side, and thank you for such professional comments, well

, first we need to demilitarize from russian facilities, in particular from the black sea fleet, and it seems that this is being done quite well, by means of the armed forces of ukraine this week, ours amused by the number of 33% of the warships of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, and ukraine put it out of order, that is, it is both a sinking and a simple one. damaged, all this happened during a large-scale invasion, a third, imagine wow, this is huge, there is actually more than a third, because the ship moscow, it weighs, well, in this list, well, seriously, mr. andriy, i will probably ask you such a question, which concerns the special operation of the citadel from the special operations forces, operators of the 73rd of the maritime center of the ssso conducted an extremely complex and effective operation in the black sea near the coast of the temporarily occupied crimea, lightning fast... working in the zone of potential damage to the enemy, based on the intelligence of one of the illegally seized mining platforms , the russians used it to reinforce the work

of the mochadzher 6 unmanned aerial vehicle of iranian production, so that these mochadzher actually fly further and more efficiently to the territory of the mainland of our country. was it possible to eliminate the special equipment? i have the following question: we were on guard and we opened the curtain on a special operation of the main intelligence agency with these fighting towers, as they say, and drilling platforms in september 2023, but obviously then it was about getting rid of russian equipment and russian not everyone's control drilling rigs, i understand correctly, yes, i understand that too, the fact is that these... rigs are not there now, they are in the gray zone, and we are there, well, after we hit the rigs, there was a fight

in the summer of the 22nd year with harpoon missiles, then they removed the personnel from these towers and stopped using them for gas extraction, but the equipment you say was left there, this equipment is also for observing the... surface of the sea, these are the neva stations so-called, in order to see what kind of shipping there is, well, now it is not like that relevant, but before the war they very closely checked and interviewed shipmen, shipmen, in order to see the general picture, who follows where, what volumes were transported, and so on, in addition, they had underwater observation equipment, this ... the perature is quite serious, because it actually gave the picture of being on the seabed in the northwestern part

of the black sea, which means that the data collided, flowed into this single system, it is called harmony, and because takes place on the seabed, actually in world ocean, on all the seas and oceans where there are... the interests of russia, the headquarters of this harmony is on the new land. i understand that this action that we are seeing now, operation citadel, was also carried out on one of the towers, which is actually not being serviced, but which, according to our intelligence, also housed this equipment , and this equipment was taken out, well, as i understand it, it was dismantled, and now we can see the chernomor neftogaz, yes, one of these towers, and this equipment was also deactivated in order to

so that... they do not continue to conduct these espionage activities, reconnaissance activities and do not use these towers to coordinate the flight of their unmanned aerial vehicles over the southern part of our country, over the occupied territories and over the territories that we control, and mr. andriy, we have changed the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general syrsky is starting to perform his duties, he has already managed, well, let's say, to present his priorities for the near future. many believe that general syrsky offensive-oriented, somewhat more than the ex-head of the team, who made it clear in every possible way that it is important to be in

such an active stage now. but still the defense, this is a question for you: whether or not the plans of the defense forces for offensive operations will now be revised, let's say, and whether we can actually fall into a trap when the appropriate preconditions have not yet been created, we have not yet received the corresponding weapons from partners, but we already have s'. a request for offensive actions, and we will start them in 2024, no, well, the main thing here is that, in principle, such decisions should be made at the beginning offensive actions, they were taken by the military according to the readiness of military formations, and not by politicians in accordance with some other, i do not know there wishes or other reasons,

so really. now the armed forces of ukraine are, let's say, at the stage of such a strategic defense, because we know that russia has actually started its offensive actions for 3 months now, it continues them, it prepared very seriously, carefully, to be on the territory of ukraine now a contingent of three times that which exceeds three times. the number of the contingent that attacked our country in february 22, but, well, they have the goals they set for themselves, at the present time, they are unattainable, there are small such, let's say, movements in the east , in the avdiivtsi district, in the maryinka district, but

no matter how we see it. in kupyansk, but they did not fulfill the tasks they set themselves there, i think that it is unlikely that they will fulfill them, although the situation in avdiivka is very, very difficult, but such difficulty is due to the fact that now supply of the armed forces of ukraine with ammunition, equipment , it paused a little, and what we had, we really use, but very, very, let's say this, meticulously and well , economically, but it is really impossible to conduct offensive actions in such conditions, but i think that now there will be a thorough and thorough analysis of what we have succeeded in these two years, and there were operations that really turned out to be very, very short-term, in my opinion, well, the most short-term operation was the

liberation of kharkiv. but then the suddenness factor was really used, we discovered the weak sides of the enemy, delivered such offensive blows, and the enemy was actually not ready for them, and then, well, if you remember, in a few days tens of kilometers of those occupied territories were liberated, and in fact the whole of kharkiv region was liberated, but... i think, during this period of time, we will collect ammunition again, which means we will form units, prepare them, find out again, well, again , the enemy will not be able to attack at such a pace indefinitely, it is known that these attacks , they are dedicated to...
