the situation now with the wounded and what is the situation with the stretching of the ruins? i and i are not directly from where it happened, i also learned from the news at night when it all happened, as far as i understand, on the left bank of the dnieper, there was a fuel tank. as well as a multi-story building , nine or eight floors were destroyed, and several apartments were also in a state of disrepair. elderly in the year as far as i am...

he was 94-96 years old and also the woman cannot be found now, she has also disappeared, residents of this house. part of the people will be resettled, as they say, the local authorities say, the house, he, maybe they will be able to restore it, well, it will take some time, well, they will provide temporary housing, then with the funds of the local budget, as i understand it, dear mr. mustafaev, well we understand that... dnipro is one of the axis cities for organizing the defense of the south of our country against russian aggression, yes, but with on the other hand, we understand that this is not just an honorable, but also an extremely difficult title. accordingly, what is the current mood in the dnipro,

perhaps the enemy manages to implement one or another of its informational and psychological operations, yes, and how do people react to enemy raids. well, in general, the mood in the dnipro is more or less cheerful, the greater part of the population has adapted to the state of war, to what is happening, well, as much as possible, because you have to get used to it, to the losses, to the fact that there are sometimes arrivals and... people lose relatives, lose their property, housing, and it is almost impossible to get used to it, well, the mood in general, well here, i would not say that they are very pessimistic, everyone, everyone

has hope, everyone has hope that we will win in the end. well, there are also many displaced people here, and uh, well, our situation is not so difficult compared to kharkiv, i think so, we are also near the front, a front-line city, but no, we are not so close to the border and the contact line compared to kharkov and/or odesa. dear mr. mustafa. paev, well, 10 years of occupation, the temporary, of course, occupation of crimea , so the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi, in an interview with fox news, announced that there will be no agreements with the enemy, yes, and we understand that the return of crimea is also an extremely important story, yes, and we will

to see, of course, our command, the supreme command, and the stake understands how it will all look, well, but on... the mood in crimea and news from crimea, our rocket launchers work extremely successfully from time to time, this is how they extinguish enemy targets, logistical, military on territory of crimea, i would like to ask you now to share what is happening now on the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula? i don't have very strong ties with crimea at the moment, my relatives stayed there, some... parts, many would be able to leave crimea, because it is dangerous to be there now, because the repressions, as they started in 2014, they they keep it like that, and they

intensify, and therefore, in general, how can i say, if it was like this before, such a condition was not determined, not you'. che carry, now there is such a hope that the problem, the situation with crimea will somehow be resolved there, well, now , as far as i understand, it will be military, military means, military means, but before that, everything was up in the air, so what was not clear was when crimea would return. will they return at all, well, if now, if we have powerful aid for our country, and if the situation improves in the direction of crimea, then later we will

solve other issues related to crimea, which concern the mood in crimea, then now no one has... no one will openly tell there, well, well, well here rather, i had to mind, is there any panic among the occupiers and colonizers? crimea, we understand that, well, crimean logistics depends to a large extent on the crimean bridge, which is a legitimate target for our armed forces, on the other hand, we understand that the black sea fleet is also under our sights, yes, and the interveners and occupiers there feel uneasy , but maybe there are some, i don't know, outbursts of nervousness of the enemy, of course there are.

er, that is, there is such a general picture that it seems that everyone in crimea is happy about the arrival of russia, but this is not the case yes, well, that is, because people can't openly tell how they feel right now , well, i will say that there is hope that we will meet in the crimea at the end, without a doubt, thank you, dear mr. mustafaev , kemal mustafaev, head of the crimean-tatar cultural and educational center in the city of dnipro, was in direct

contact with us. well, i'm going further. so, an important signal from the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi. he informed that our prime minister, denys shmyhal, has gone on a business trip to the border with poland, will his colleagues polish, respectively, the head of the polish government is already known, no. there will be donald tusk at the border, as well as in the polish press, i am now looking at the messages, donald tusk explained that we need, i quote him, concrete proposals for our market and our agriculture, this does not require manifestations with the best will, but requires hard work , well, let's hope that two governments will work in the technical... mode, and in the near future it will be possible

to reach a certain understanding, we understand that this is not only about the polish-ukrainian relations, the solution of this should include brussels and the european commission, because it is about, it is about, i am constantly told something in my ear, dear tv viewers, so now the stories are very important, when we are talking about the allocation of brussels investments and subsidies to support of polish agriculture, well, what is extremely important news is also the arrival of american senators to ukraine, and this delegation will discuss with our authorities the importance of assistance from the united states. us senators led by chuck schumer already started working in lviv today. about this. united states ambassador bridget brink said. and this is an extremely important signal. chuck schumer,

a great supporter of ukraine, is a man who is trying to help convince his trump republican partners of the need to unblock their initiatives. well, now we understand that a significant part of attention is focused on the border. yes, andrii zhuk, head of the retailer association, is in touch with us now. of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. andrii. glory to heroes. well, ours tv viewers can immediately say this in simple language, let's explain: retailers are those people who are engaged in the analysis and study of what is called the market of consumer goods and not only them. well, accordingly, the first question, in your opinion, is the current situation at the border, with regard to prices. it has already arrived. the news that gas for refueling cars has risen in price, what about the rest of the range?

look, it's true that retailers, they always study the market situation, analyze it, and we, as a profile association of rau retailers, have more than 100 retail companies in associations, of which there are more than 20 sales companies engaged in food retailers, these are... in simple words, these are supermarkets, and we are currently observing a very bad situation, it is not critical yet, but it is very bad, bad in that - firstly, the price of delivery is increasing in our country. of goods and we have already recorded a 49% increase in prices, this is only for the past month, well, this is not the worst, the worst is that there is no understanding of delivery terms, and now, when cargoes of goods arrive by express port, these are perishable goods, then we already we see that there are goods that cannot

be put on the shelves, and therefore it is a loss now for the chains, and therefore the prices of course ... it can and will be reflected in the prices, but also i want to point out that the retailer, he is in including, due to its marginality, it bears these expenses, why, because if the retailer starts to raise prices head-on, relatively speaking, then customers will not be satisfied with this and will not come to these stores, because it will be so certain consumer shock, and therefore. i completely agree with you, well, but logistics is growing, so we understand that if the polish-ukrainian border is blocked, we have to look for workarounds, where i don't know what the situation is on the slovak border or on the hungarian border, yes, but it seems that at the moment the most favorable is the romanian border, but it is much more expensive logistics from 500 € there to 100 € for one flight, that is, it increases, accordingly

it begins to affect the cost of products, that is... it should be assumed that it will become more expensive and possibly significantly in the near future, but something is in warehouses, something is not in warehouses and so on, share, be kind with your observations, let's , let's talk about it, it's very interesting, why, look, for example, now in the networks, on average, 3.5% of polish goods are on the shelves, supermarkets, why did this happen, if you remember , two years ago, when the pustules began to be full. staff war in ukraine, we had, unfortunately, a lot of closed factories, in the east of ukraine, in the south, there were a lot of closed factories, and retailers began to look very quickly for a solution to replace ukrainian manufacturers, and they found that including, for example, polish goods that they started supplying to ukraine, it can be cheeses

or juices, for example, and some other sauces different from... now this is a very cool situation for ukrainian manufacturers, this is now a chance to increase their presence again in ukrainian manufacturers, national manufacturers , to increase their presence in ukrainian networks, and you and i will see that this is already happening, and it is very profitable, and it is also very useful for networks, why, because there is no tie to international supplies, they decrease, and in this way... you can cooperate with ukrainian manufacturers, and that is why we have a share of ukrainian manufacturers in the assortment of supermarkets, it is much larger than imports, and first of all, these are socially significant goods, and therefore the disaster will not happen, on the contrary, it will be such a boom for ukrainian manufacturers, but i agree with you

that the price of imported goods will increase, but i will remind you once again that... the network, including, thanks to its marginality, takes over , including these expenses. i am completely with you too i agree with an extremely important remark from your side, that is, ukrainian manufacturers are most interested, so to speak, from our side, but the price issue is another issue, our consumers, on the contrary, are most interested in what, in cheap and high-quality goods, yes, we understand , when there is competition in the market, i am... i still remember, you know, andropov stores, yes, that is, in which there was nothing but counters, well, accordingly, here we have the opposite situation, that is, we we can have our beautiful ones, so to speak say, importers who will set the price that is beneficial to them, there will not be proper competition, you have such a fear, but look, we do not have

monopolists on the market, there are none. on average , there are now more than 500 specialized professional supermarkets in ukraine, always for some reason , you know, people went across the border and bought some goods in a polish bedronka, because it was profitable and cheaper for them, for example, for some reason this happened somehow, although we really do not have monopoly, but it was cheaper in the bidronka, but look, the price is really worth it meaning, but including. and the assortment and quality of the goods is important, and i can omit that now ukrainians are very patriotic, and therefore we will be happy to give. preference for ukrainian goods. so. and regarding monopolies, i don't see monopolies, uh, that are currently on the market, and therefore we can choose both

quality, and assortment, and prices. we have, well, look at the number of supermarkets now. although i think that the number of supermarkets will be even greater in the future. and we also expect the same bidronka, or lidl. these networks, they will come to us, they are already studying the ukrainian market. therefore, the competition will only increase, and this will benefit consumers. thank you very much, mr. andrii , it was extremely nice to meet you, we were contacted by andrii zhuk, head of the association of retailers of ukraine, and i will keep you informed, dear viewers, thank you for inviting me, yes, yes, yes, thank you for working and monitoring, well, as they say, the opinions of our consumers are divided, some people urge not to buy polish goods, others on the contrary. say that will buy, because the poles already helped us extremely powerfully, well, but in any case, we keep a sober and cool head and do not succumb to emotions, an important

signal from the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi in an interview with fox news, and there the head of our states that a diplomatic end to the war is possible only on the basis of the ukrainian peace formula, the liberation of all ukrainian territories, quoting volodymyr zelenskyi of the city. we do not want to repeat the minsk agreements, but regarding the other part of our territory, no new ones frozen conflicts, we don't believe that, and i don't trust him, the russian dictator, about the negotiating table, when we prepare, when there is a document based on our peace formula, our main document, and when we have the support of the world, then we we can look for ways to talk with representatives of russia, but in any case we can only speak from a strong position. well, now we 'll make up. military and geopolitical and military results of this era. serhii zgurets, director of the defense consulting company

express in our studio. traditionally, at this time glory to ukraine. sergey, congratulations. slav, i congratulate you antin. greetings to our viewers. today we will really talk about what happened on the front line during the week. the week was difficult for our armed forces, it was not easy for the enemy, even worse. we will also talk about what ours promise us. from the point of view of supplying new types of weapons, well, of course, let's recall the interview of the president of the fox agency, where he talked about the next counteroffensive, about this for moment. well, the informational evening of the espresso tv channel, 6:40 p.m., serhiy sgurets, director of the defense express consulting company, here is avdiivka and its consequences. avdiyivka, on the one hand, it is extremely important that we managed to keep our military units combat-ready, we understand that the enemy's plan was not only, so to speak, in

a symbolic gift to putin, that is , to put it conventionally, that the russian generals wanted to capture something symbolic, so until the moment of putin's self-appointment to the post of russian president, so to speak. important point they wanted, perhaps, to take in a cauldron, to surround. a significant number of our fighters, well, the key story is that the enemy did not manage to do this, the second, in my opinion, extremely important moment, the fact that our defense did not collapse, because we understand, yes, in classical russian thought, the idea that on the shoulders the enemy retreating, it is necessary to continue the offensive, they were not in a position to do this, because our fighters competently built positions, and so on... and so on , you draw absolutely correct conclusions, the enemy really tried to surround our units, for this he spent four months of fighting, but

he himself lost 47,000 personnel and a significant amount of equipment, but due to superiority primarily in aviation, artillery, and manpower, the enemy managed to push our units out of avdiyivka and actually attempt to encircle it. the enemy garrison did not succeed, and now we know that our troops are already occupying a different line of defense, 10 kilometers deeper in comparison with the positions they occupied before, and this line of defense passes right by us along the line of the steppe, lastochkino, severne, this is exactly the area that is now defended by the same brigades that fought with the enemy in the very... avdeivtsi, this is exactly the 47th brigade, the 110th brigade, the third separate brigade, the third brigade, and there is the first tank brigade, that is, in fact all these military units of ours.

are restraining the enemy's offensive, which is actually stopped, but we can say that the enemy still has a certain inertia, and despite our active actions, he is now somehow trying to push through a new line of our defense, now he is pressing on the steppe, there were combat operations opposite lastochkino, there was a vivid video where the third separate assault brigade used... or just cluster munitions at night destroyed a large group of the enemy trying to break through to lastochkino, and in fact today or yesterday there was information that the enemy approached the northern, that's right one more settlement held by our troops there, and the enemy still pushed back our troops there and a little, let's say, 400 meters bit into ours... that is, in fact

, now we have a period when our troops are holding the defense lines, the enemy, using the advantage in the surviving aviation power , is trying to move this defense line, we understand that this new defense line is actually worse than the positions in avdiivka, because avdiivka was such a powerful fortress, but we remember , that the enemy was creating an opportunity to encircle our troops, 3/4 was a threat, that is, 3/4 of the perimeter was under siege. the role of the enemy, we understand that it is primarily about fire artillery positions, so it is precisely the exit of our units without significant losses does it mean that the military leadership actually succeeded with all the risks of such a maneuver and managed to ensure the withdrawal of our troops to new lines of defense? there might have been a threat of a breakthrough, we understand that, well, what about the enemy as well, this third aspect is extremely

important, they would... want to break through the front line somewhere, it was not possible, our general staff monitors such things, but, but there is also the issue of the enemy's resources, we understand , that they would like to accumulate an extremely large number of people on this or that part of the front strength, stretch the technique, make a false strike , divert attention and try to advance , well, these are all textbook tricks, well , they are more or less known, well, but... the threat of the enemy advancing towards the same steppe swallow and so on, well, when we are talking about the steppe lastochkina, i have already said that during the last two days there have been active hostilities, lastochkina is covered by a third separate assault brigade right there, and there actually the enemy was not given the opportunity to advance due to the effectiveness of our defenses when we talk

about... the steppes have been actively attacked, this evening conflicting information is coming in as to whether our troops are holding the steppes or not, i can't comment now because i don't have enough information, but we understand that now the enemy , after all, using the accumulated strength and heavy losses, he provided a certain replenishment in a couple of days, after all, he is trying to put pressure on us... and on the north, in order to try to push our troops to the next lines of defense, these the next lines of defense are in depth, at a certain distance, they are actually much better prepared there than this line on which our military is standing, so i think that the dynamics here will continue to be extremely difficult, in particular our military, in particular there the deputy commander of the third of a separate assault brigade, maksym zhorin said that the enemy retains the potential

to try to advance. to penetrate the depths of our territory precisely due to the accumulated equipment, personnel and the main advantage in aviation, because the use of aviation is preserved both in this area and in other areas where the enemy is now trying to put pressure on our defenses. well, serhiy , let's move to the south, on the one hand , the extremely high activation of the enemy's direction of work, well, on the other hand , the situation with the bridgehead on the left bank of the dnieper, our fighters who are there and extremely fierce battles are being fought. shoigo has already lied more than once. well, here he once again reported to the führer about how they, so to speak, destroyed this bridgehead. well, a lie. but battles are fought, battles are difficult. effect by displacing our units from the areas we captured during the offensive. robotic wedge is such a plot. locally speaking, this is 10x10 km, which is in the morning.
