our colleagues issue all the necessary payments and deal with the accommodation of our citizens, i want to once again personally thank our zhytomyr region. thank you very much, mr. vadim , take care of yourself and we wish you success in the difficult work that you and your assistants, vadim filashkin, the head of the donetsk regional military administration, were in touch with us about the enemy strikes in donetsk region, unfortunately, there are casualties in mykolaivka, there are not many casualties. there are dead in avdiivka, well , there were also dead in selidovo, where the enemy targeted a little earlier, but already today there are new hits and, unfortunately, new deaths, there are also, unfortunately, wounded again, let's see if there are any deaths today, but obviously in the kherson region, where the enemy is also constantly under fire from of the left bank of the kherson region, and yurii soblevskyi is with us, the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, mr. yurii, thank you for joining, i congratulate you.

i congratulate you, well, actually, today the enemy shelled kherson again, a woman was injured, this is what i managed to read before eter, maybe the situation has changed, the russians kissed in the pharmacy, the russians kissed the theater, let 's start, probably with shelling, and this is what happened now, and i understand that the enemy also struck at night, please, unfortunately, yes, we currently have we are under enemy fire, we have three people... including a 14-year-old child, unfortunately, there is a serious, serious condition, now the doctors are working to stabilize the condition, only then will the issue of medical evacuation be resolved there, and we have one more appeal, a person was injured yesterday, but turned himself in today medical facility, and unfortunately , let's... until, now, now, now i'm looking exactly

where to start, okay, let's start with such news, today there was information about the krynyk, about what the armed forces of ukraine managed to do there , the marines, especially, to impose a battle and achieve certain results where the ostap vyshny museum, and also another flag appeared precisely in the country, the flag of the ukrainian national flag, please tell me what is known about this and... well, i really wanted to hear about that museum, i understand that in it is unlikely that anything survived there, but this is a very, well, revealing story, probably, well, unfortunately, i cannot comment much, because we maintain informational silence, we do not interfere with our military work, regarding the condition of the buildings in general in krynik, well, there there there is nothing that you know that at least externally reminded me. some building there, it is all either

destroyed or seriously damaged, because the intensity of the fire there is crazy now, i can say that the defense forces continue to hold a significant area there under fire control, and they are really successful, they continue to destroy the enemy there, and this is not only about personnel, but also about military equipment, there were again successes in terms of military formations, work is constantly being carried out, there is also... ugh , well, after the shelling , the electric transport in kherson had stopped working, so it would seem, well, what kind of news is this, why is it being talked about, it is important, because, well, in a city where flights can always arrive, of course it is more or less important to people to be mobile and move faster, then whether it was possible to restore the operation of electric transport and whether there were any other services, let's say, there was no electricity there, let's say , electricity in the houses, or please, and now most of our subscribers are...

connection to the power grid there , work was really carried out due to the fact that it was damaged, so energy infrastructure , but now, according to my data, these works should have already been completed there, they, literally for several hours there, expected that they would work, a few days ago we spoke with the mykolaiv oblast, and there are already preparations for sowing... well, the south of ukraine , of course, everything starts a little earlier there, and before the great war in the south everything bloomed and gave crops much earlier than in the rest of ukraine, but we understand that now it is a war zone, and there, where there is not even a war itself, well , the clash of armies is meant, but there remains this response of the war in the form of mines and ammunition, rockets that did not explode, and here is such news, just to assess the scale of work... those people, sappers,

who were engaged in demining, on the right bank managed to demine 200 thousand hectares of territory, we understand that this is a lot, and at what cost the power of means, how much was and... and how much it gives, is it arable land, is it some territory somewhere, say, populated areas, what kind of 2000 hectares approximately, well, these are general statistics , well, first of all, it is now, well, a little more than 30% of the territory, which still needs to be checked and made safe, first of all , critical infrastructure objects and settlements where there are the most . threat to life and health of people, a also the objects that are necessary to ensure the livelihood of the communities, already in the second place, of course the territories that are cultivated land plots, including our farms, were subject to exchange, for them it is actually a difficult

situation now, because as you see in us and last year there were a lot of cases when agricultural machinery was targeted for...explosives, for unexploded ammunition, it works, they worked on everything, actually a lot of people from different organizations, the military is also working, the state emergency service is working, the police, demining groups from all over ukraine, and non-governmental organizations are also helping kherson oblast there within the legal field, as well as making this territory safe, huh, and i would like to now i'll think about it, let's do it, i would like to ask about the help that is possible, whether it is provided now, i mean, first of all, western help, well, let's say, if we talk, for example, again about that mykolaiv, the same mykolaiv oblast , the neighboring region, there it is under denmark took its wing, at one time , the kingdom of denmark, and certain

work is taking place, i know, i have, well, acquaintances who work for the embassy of the kingdom of denmark in mykolaiv and there is certain work, certain projects, certain finances, or they are accumulating or will be accumulated that... to kherson oblast, are the partners of the house already such, as they say , recorded in you, or is it a constant search for opportunities, humanitarian aid, some kind of conditional investments in order to be able to continue life and develop that life, which is and will be even more rampant in kherson oblast, although, of course, there is still a war going on there, there are such partners, there are countries with which there are already... preliminary agreements, but this is a long process and i think that there will be changes, because those volumes of aid investments , which will be needed for deoccupation, not even for deoccupation, but for the reconstruction of the already occupied territory, they are very significant,

because we have a lot of destruction, and this is as of now, and as we can see, the enemy continues shelling, we continue the process oh... we are only increasing some objects that will need restoration, reconstruction, so there is still work and work to be done on this, and when we are talking about the entire kherson region, it is very difficult to predict the state of the de-occupied territory, even what we see, in the occupation administration, it does not invest many resources even to maintain the infrastructure, which is also critical, you only know such propaganda there. some separate steps there make a picture and that's all, but as we saw in the ginihiv district, when there was no electricity supply for a long time, this is due to hostilities, as a result of the fact that they did not properly maintain these facilities and

the infrastructure, well, what damage did russia cause, let's say to the ecology, kherson region is a separate topic, we understand that the sands of oleshkiv and askania are new there as well. kintsurska spit , tendrivska spit, well, we understand very well what the enemy will leave there, but today i read about the fact that the enemy is destroying any such business that remained in the occupied territory, simply squeezing this business, i will say in this slang language, and what is still somehow alive, simply cleans up hands, are there such facts, again, and what is the expression of hostile pressure on locals and citizens today, because, well, you can’t say it any other way, there is no legal procedure in fact in these processes, they simply recognize the property of ukrainians as immovable, they

then transfer it to the so-called temporary use without any tenders, there is actually no established procedure. this is just a decision of individual officials who will use these facilities, but the number of entrepreneurs who were simply destroyed, their production base was taken to the territory russian equipment, there at all. it is very difficult to take into account now, but there were a lot of such messages from the owners, from the managers of enterprises who refused to re-registrate this business under russian jurisdiction, they simply either destroyed it in this way or simply took it out for scrap metal, modern equipment, i don’t know anymore, what about the places where these lakes were salty, they also mined there, i don't even want to ask what is happening there, but i understand perfectly well that i perfectly understand that... what can be done there the enemy, well, plus, he conducts his propaganda among especially young people, children, and it

is very unfortunate, then it will be necessary to work quite seriously with children, first of all, they can be the most favorable to enemy propaganda, thank you very much for help, dad, please, it is, you are absolutely right, this is their priority, they have now directed a lot of effort to zambo specifically the youth, therefore integration, reintegration of our children. and our teenagers should also undergo psychological rehabilitation, because they really know how to brainwash. thank you very much for your comments, thank you for your work, first of all. yuriy sobulevskyi, the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, was in touch with us. and three people were injured as a result of the recent shelling of kherson, and today there is a 14 -year-old boy who is in serious condition. let's believe that the doctors will be able to stabilize him. his condition, about the front, about the war and around the war, my colleague serhii

ezgurets, the director of the defense express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, will talk more. sergey, good evening, please, i congratulate you, vasyl, greetings to our viewers, today we will talk, of course, about the destruction of the enemy ship caesar kudnikov, about ramstein and about the strengthening of our air force with either f-16s or even french mirage planes and about the fact that ukraine seems to have finally received the eyes... the long-awaited bombs, missiles from the united states with a range of 150 km, because there is a video from the enemy side where we see the wreckage and that these munitions are already working on the enemies, about all this in a moment. so, today's big news is that on the night of the 14th was struck, drowned in february. large amphibious assault ship caesar kunnikov of the russian black sea fleet, this happened

south of alupka, currently occupied crimea, as a result of joint actions of the naval forces of ukraine and the main intelligence agency. according to information from the inhabitants of the peninsula, the ship was attacked in such a way that a number of explosions were heard, it is clear that the ship was transporting equipment, this was reported by the main intelligence department and... maybe even ammunition or even shahedis, because usually quite often the eyes of the bdc are used for rebasing drones from novorossiysk to sevastopol, there are areas nearby where these drones are then released throughout ukraine, but now this bdc has of course not fulfilled this mission of supplying equipment or drones, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine emphasized that the enemy ship was in the territorial waters of ukraine and the attack took place with the use of kamikaze surface drones, the main intelligence agency submitted a video where you can look at, in fact

, all the stages of this attack, in fact, these were attacks with game, that is, when several attack drones with a certain frequency carried out strikes on various components of this ship from different directions, and there is even a video when these russian sailors are trying with the help of automatic weapons... to fend off the attacking magura-5 drones. of course, it didn't have any effect because the caesar kunnikov was sunk, and it's actually, well, a pretty good decision to use drones, and we can actually say that this is the fourth major amphibious assault ship that has been destroyed by the navy, the main intelligence management or the air force, because... in fact , several of these large amphibious

ships have been destroyed so far, i repeat, this is the fourth, and in fact it significantly limits the ability to use these ships for certain missions, because usually at one time they were there to pose a threat to landing there near odesa and mykolaiv, then when we had anti-ship missiles, it became a suicide mission for the enemy, these ships were used to... to deliver ammunition there to the still-occupied territory, and right now the use of naval drones demonstrates what is... an effective, realistic, asymmetric, technological concept of combating the enemy, using precisely marine robotic platforms, and there is a great expectation that such a concept is actually already with a bet on land ones or on the air platform will be scaled along the entire front line, and when we talk about

drones, of course, we forget about conventional aircraft, now there is a... ramstein 19 meeting with the participation of a number of countries that provide assistance to ukraine, and of course , that ukraine is looking forward to when our air force will receive f-16 multirole aircraft, because on the eve of the meeting in ramstein, it was said that there will be a coalition report at this event. preparation of f-16 fighters for the ukrainian air force, the head of the mission of ukraine to nato, nataliya hlibarenko, informed about this during a conversation with journalists in brussels, while the ramstein meeting is still ongoing and we do not yet know the details related to the fighters, but we understand , that actually such a decision has already

been made and the issue of the implementation of these measures, and now we will talk about this... let's talk with our guest, we are joined by valery romanenko, aviation expert and leading researcher now, mr. valery, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you on the air of espresso channel. to each other, good evening, i would still like to start our conversation with the situation about the f-16s, because what are the general expectations and trends now, because on the one hand, our representatives are talking about the fact that we... we will receive these planes sometime in the spring, and these are realistic terms, this is exactly what our representative in nato is saying, and some officials nato is talking about the fact that the deadlines may be postponed there until the end of the 24th year, and on the other hand there are optimistic

photos, even when the f-16th with our distinctive ukrainian markings are there on the wings, and this is such a challenge... optimistic expectations, what are your current estimates, expectations finally with aircraft for the ukrainian air force? well, first of all, it is necessary to prepare the flight crew for their operation, to receive planes for which there are no pilots and engineering staff, it somehow, you know, does not fit in my head, yes, i think that as soon as it is any information that our pilots are ready. to operate these planes, ready to fight on them, they will arrive, the only thing is that you and i will be the last to know about it, well, from those who have some, so to speak, relationship with there , some special relationship with the military, yes, because usually it the appearance of these planes will be a surprise for the russians, but the only thing is that you mentioned

the photos, i was very pleased that this plane was now in a configuration... so to speak , for combat training, that is , mass-sized mock-ups hung on the ends of the wings of the missiles, and under the wings there were such red simulators of rocketwinder launches, well, the main weapons of these planes, this means that the actual training is already at the last stage, either combat training, or even tactical training, that is, take-off there and the execution of certain... such, well , educational , training, combat tasks , such as air combat, whether in a pair or single air combat, whether there is a breakthrough of the enemy air defense system, although the latter is unlikely , but it will happen, well, maybe the interception of some enemy targets, that is, the preparation of the infrastructure, well as far as is known, as reported in

the media, it is in full swing and we are preparing for navigation. system so that these planes can navigate over our territory, the infrastructure of aircraft maintenance is being prepared, i.e. streams at the airfields where it is planned to place them, real and fake shelters are being prepared for the real ones to really hide the planes, fake ones to divert enemy missiles in case, if they succeed in doing so, because somehow, then they will penetrate our air defenses in order to inflict strikes on airfields, well, that's kind of the situation, but so far i don't expect a lot of them. kiv, well, because we are preparing for one or two squadrons as much as possible, well, for us, they are preparing for one or two squadrons of flight and technical staff, well, we hope that it will be fast,

conditionally fast, and then it will still be scaled with an increase the number and personnel and aircraft, but when we talk about aircraft, new information has also appeared, and i am very interested to hear your estimates, first there was a statement made by the air command about a month ago. forces that perhaps our arsenals will strengthen the french mirage-2000 aircraft. then there were two publications in the french press that this is almost the main issue that will be raised during the visit of president macron to kyiv, he was just supposed to arrive on the 14th, i.e. today, then it delayed the security measures there, but this issue about the mirage 2000, it appeared in the information space like that, hovered and... i want to understand where it will develop, appropriate, inappropriate, what kind of aircraft are these, why do we need them, or can it really be a strengthening of our

air arsenal? well, this is generally one of the last models of the french mirage 2000, the ones we are counting on, i really hope that these are mi-2000d aircraft, that is, the carriers of cruise missiles, the scalpstorm. shadows, well, it’s the same missile, and maybe, if we get tauruses from germany, and these planes, in total , the french now have 65 such planes in four squadrons, but they are still going to decommission them, well gradually, yes, and that is why they are looking for a place to install them, and you understand, if they hand it over to us, that is will be transferred as part of, well, some kind of financial, financial tranche, right? that is, it seems to be transferred for free, but it will be taken into account , and maybe, rather than receiving these planes, it might be more profitable for us, for example, to receive

some anti-aircraft, the latest anti-aircraft missile systems, well, the same sampt, yes, because the planes in general are enough the old ones, according to their capabilities, they are of interest to us only once again as carriers of cruise missiles, and no more, because we have not so many of the so-24x, which from... now are the carriers of these missiles, but the f-16, on which we are waiting, whether they will succeed or not, i researched this issue there, in general, two root pylons on f16, they are able to withstand the weight of scalp or stormshadow, but after receiving these planes, will they not also have to convert their trays for these missiles, that is, some additional work should be done, that is, in general, if we, well , summarizing, if we get one squadron of these planes, there are 12-15 machines as spares, yes, then

it would be generally not bad, although the best an option is gripen, which is both modern and and and is a real fighter with long-range missiles, because on the mirage 2000 he has missiles with the maximum range there ... although they are modern, but russian fighters shoot at 120, and our mig missiles k27, they are also at 120 km, that is, as fighters, mirages, well, let's say this, will not be very useful to us, that is, in fact, we have to approach this proposal with enough restraint and caution, because i see that we get a number of logistical problems there with low. activity and provide ourselves with disruption of efforts, as i understand, but there are a lot of problems, from which let the experts figure out how

useful these machines will be for us, especially with sweden about the flu, absolutely, and then let the problems of another level, the same with the european manufacturer, it is about helicopters, you probably know this story in detail, our readers, viewers have repeatedly asked about these australian nh90 combat helicopters there in the taipan version for australia, that apparently a significant number of these helicopters, apparently modern, are being disassembled there in australia, and let's transfer them to ukraine. i talked to different people experts, i'll be honest, not everyone wants such helicopters to appear in ukraine, precisely because of a number of technological problems that accompany these helicopters. what is your vision, should our diplomats fight there for these australian taipans? well, again , you know, the devil is in the details, and

the details are real. of countries refused to use these helicopters and the first was not australia , the first as i recall was portugal in 12, then they were refused in 22 by norway from using these planes, and she planned to buy 10 machines, but made a bet on american blackhawks there, australia also bought blackhawks instead of these helicopters, sweden said. who also plans to replace the nh90 with american , well, modernized blackhawks, but in general , well, we have to look, we will really have even more problems with the maintenance of these planes, if even countries in which there are calm conditions, with the possibility of a quick supply of spare parts a lot of problems with this helicopter, then we

will have to multiply these problems by 10, that's it well, i don't know, it's up to the experts to judge , in my opinion, i would still bet on the american blackhawk, then i completely support you with this approach, but it 's interesting, now the united states supplies blackhawks to ecuador, and ecuador seems to there he will give us the disassembled ones. mi-17 , the question arises, should we bet on it there strongly, that this is a cool decision, that we will receive these mi-17s, and why , according to your assessment, we cannot ensure such direct contact with the americans, so that clearly already on straight line to receive eyes blackhawks, to finally get rid of those long options to get equipment on exchange instead of going to a direct understandable

supply. well, apparently, the stopper is not from our side in such a direct decision, but as for the ecuadorian machines, they are there, well, i wasn’t too lazy to translate this message, they write that there is only one helicopter and there are not even six in total, which we were promised, p' there are helicopters, there are two mi-171 models. this is really a military helicopter, and there are three more civilian options, this is the mi mi-17v1, yes, they are generally civil helicopters, and they are mane and tail , so to speak, they were operated by equatorians, so we can, yes, considering the cost of transporting them to ukraine, and we can only get a set of very expensive

for... spare parts for our existing helicopters, if there are, well, we also need to send specialists to see what condition the blades, gearboxes, and engines are in, but if in this way we can get the most necessary spare parts here, then maybe it makes sense, and if only one of the helicopters is in flight state, and then you have to watch the remaining resource of it of a helicopter, if it was played. candles, then you can take this helicopter alone and stock up on some spare parts for ours, because we have a number of bottlenecks with spare parts for helicopters, because they were all produced in russia, there in ulanude, kazan, well, in our country, at some factories, we only have some types of spare parts were produced, that is , it is necessary to approach again, go into the details, study the details of this process, in general, this,

so to speak... deal, which was concluded in january of this year , seems to me to be not very useful for ukraine. and i would like to ask, mr. valery, your vision related to the zircon missile, because relatively speaking, we were the first to write about it, then there were confirmations of a number of institutions that russia uses, for the first time the church in ukraine used it, and then i myself started started to doubt the expediency on the part of the enemy to use the circus and whether this missile is actually refined to the level that it is capable of performing the tasks that are declared, here is your vision of this story with zircons and strikes on ukraine, well, i take my hat off to the guys from defense express, which really identified this 3 mm22 missile by one detail instantly, i sense sarcasm in these assessments.
