they barricaded themselves inside the consulate and closed the windows and are sitting quietly, and the police are standing between us and the russians so that we do not come close to the consulate and do not interfere with them in any way... in general , there is an interesting story about russians, when ukrainians announced a few weeks ago that they were going to hold a rally under the russian consulate, the russian community of so-called good russians said that they also wanted to hold a rally against the war and would hold it an hour earlier than the ukrainians. of course, it was clear that these two rallies could meet and there could be problems, clashes and maybe even provocations, and that is why the ukrainian diaspora made every effort to move the russian... rally to tomorrow, and today, now here under the konchestvo only ukrainians, only enemies of putin, which is ours the further program, when the rally ends, we will all go through the center of strasbourg to the notre dame cathedral,

good health, ladies and gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen, and... anna eva melnyk, as usual, was not mistaken, indeed, i will now talk to you for two hours with a small break, just in time for anna yavemelnyk , now we will talk, as always. and about ukraine, and about abroad, and about america, and about poland, and about that, and about the other, and about the fifth, and about the tenth. let's start with mr. ivan kirichevsky, whom i haven't seen for a long time, i hope he will appear now, you see, i already see it, and you see, we all see mr. ivan, and before i went on the air, the editors told me to let him do something of his own, i asked why i don't see mr. ivan so often, and they tell me that it is because he has a bad internet, mr. ivan, do something with... the net, then we will see each other more often, but the question is, do you hear me, yes,

i love you, why, i just listen silently, and it is beautiful , it's also good, sometimes it's worth keeping quiet, i tell myself that, by the way, look at some radical changes in the last two or three weeks took place, taking into account the avdiyivka, taking into account the redistribution of russian forces, which we are told about. experts like you , that they, from avdiyivka, may have redistributed there to the zaporizhia direction, to a certain kherson direction, the lack of ammunition may have had an effect, in short, something on the front line has changed in two or three weeks, or talks about the fact that we they left avdiyivka and that there is no ammunition, it is, so to speak, such unconscious, no, no, no, uneducated people in military matters. as i tell you, they will be confused here, you know, if we talk

about some factors that really play a role, then here, no matter how strange it may sound now, we will have to start with the internet, but with an unknown, but rather starlink, we could simply make sure that there are publicly available materials that russian occupiers, these terminals have appeared, and here the point is not even that elon musk has taken such an excuse me pusillanimous position, but... the point is that the appearance of starlink terminals allows, let's say, to resuscitate this system, the automated control system troops, which they have there had the euutz index, a unified tactical unit control system, which believed that this should be such a very powerful advantage of the russian army, and precisely because of this whole thing, why in the west we were all prophesied in two or three days or three weeks for the suppression of the whole time of ukraine, well, they say, the same thing that allows you to better manage the troops on the battlefield has been discovered. that without modern communication this russian euutz does not give them anything, and rather there are a lot of command machines there, then

the russians are allowed to study them, but the appearance of stralinks allows the russians to improve something control on the battlefield, but let's say this, it 's just a little-understood and little-visible detail that should be emphasized, and yes, if we take even the current balance of forces, then, well, let's just say, the starlinks allow the russians to have this tendency. they have there now that they simply have the ability to take a small city in the east of ukraine once every six months, and being very far from the realization of this story about the occupation of donetsk and luhansk regions, roughly speaking, simply starlinks will allow the russians to perform this task somewhat more effectively, because if further to continue about the current history there marinka , avdiyivka, let's say this, unfortunately, avdiyya, the events that took place on avdiya near avdiyivka, they were in some way connected... well, just when there and so it was a performance from our side and

it was the threat of the operative encirclement is the question, except that i don’t know how much sooner or later it was possible to make a decision on exit and how organized the process was regarding the fact that it was necessary to leave the city because of ammunition, well, in fact, the story is not because well with on the one hand , it is necessary to somehow appeal to the conscience of american legislators, so that they finally make the necessary decision, but on the other hand... well, forgive me, we don’t only have a military there, well, the resources for waging war are provided by the united states of america, in our country, if the powers of defense the budget is, according to government figures, 1.6 trillion hryvnias, according to some publicly available estimates, it was 2 trillion hryvnias for the past year, well, let's just say , a lot of things are clearly bought successfully from what is then shot at the russians, be careful i won't take it, but i have it open access where our military is shooting shells, as if from india at all. more precisely, the accent here seems to be from india , or tank shells from pakistan, well, let’s say this, the inters recognized that these are

shells from there, i will not assert, and i will not deny that they could have bought them even there, respectively, well, according to the russians, well fortunately , there is still work to be done, and the discourse about what we have there, panevan, panevan, you can't be allowed to talk much, you know so much that you are now forced to talk until the end the programs will talk, quietly, you must be restrained, this is a question... i have a very important question, the first is whether it is possible to somehow level the starlinks on the territory of the russian federation, and the second question, what is this... what happened to the russian plane, because i am not interested in the fact that it was shot down, we shoot down many planes, that is, we ukrainians, not me personally and not the employees of espresso tv, but when i looked at the map, i realized that it was shot down over the krasnodar region of russia federation, that is, it is not necessary for this sea, which now, as

comrade putin says, the sea of ​​azov has become inland. and this is over the land and over the territory of russia, this, and something so messed up that they started to produce, i think, in the 70s , some s200, not even s300 and not s400, but something very, very medieval, and what would this mean, i.e. starlink and this knockdown, what, what, how to make it impossible to work with a shooting and and what does the beginning of knock down, knock down mean? are there many russian planes on the territory of the russian federation? in short, we found a way to counter these things on our side, so, well using the means of rep, then we will also find it, it's all a matter of time, if comrade musk does not want it in a good way. second, well, if we're talking about it, well, let's say it like this, yes, c200 is

, as it were, a medieval complex, something has clearly been upgraded there, and it's very secretive. upgrade, because in the basic version, which was there from the soviet union, which can still remain in nato countries, the c200 is a non-mobile complex, it is a stationary complex, which is intact there, you can’t just bring it to the line of combat, accordingly, something had to be changed in order to bring this complex very close to the front line and accommodate this russian pilot, because i suspect that a blocking patriot is possible, if he is a blocking one. maybe not a patriot at all, but something else was there, look, and this plane crash, what is it connected with, they really somehow killed eight of them in a week, if it continues like this, then fine, those planes can be restored somewhere, but the people, who know how to fly planes , it is impossible to restore them earlier than in 3-5 years, and why did

the ukrainians suddenly start shooting them down, or did they moved closer to the contact line? have they relaxed, or have ukrainians developed something new that allows them to do this, which you hinted at in the previous preliminary answer? well, first of all, something new has clearly appeared that allows you to do this, well, that is, something has yet to be brought up, because not only would it be allowed to shoot down ballistic missiles, there is a pak-3 version, for example, in order to shoot down spreotlitaki at long distances, you need ... old pak-2 from the american allies, they were obviously delivered somewhere, well, i don't know which ones corners of the world, somewhere in japan or there in taiwan, but they got them and now they are flying to the russians, because the russians, they were so careless, sorry, stupid, they remain so, it's just that we have such impressive opportunities, and considering on their specifics, i think that it would be much better in general if we had fewer even

government sources talking about the means of destruction, simply reminding the russians of their joke that the plane is heavier than air... okay, now there are also hints here, and maybe not quite hints from the supreme the high command, that is, mr. president, that we can expect some kind of offensive actions in the 24th year, that is, in the year that came one and a half, well, almost two months ago in the whole world. and you see these factors, why this optimism appeared, there are some factors that , for us... can indicate that the desired is really not issued by us and the president, well, here it is very bad in principle that this statement was made, that's why let's say this, let me talk about this, the transition to the format of strategic defense, it allows you to set the first and most the basic prerequisite for any successful counteroffensive operation is

the fact of suddenness, just when the enemy is officially there in a strategic state. then it is clearly not expected of him that he will be able to attack, in fact, why did we then, or rather our country, have such a successful counter-offensive operation in the kharkiv region, well, because our troops there only had enough shells for defense, in principle there was not enough for anything and nothing foreshadowed the fact that our troops would attack there, why actually the russians there and relaxed, but then some time our tanks went forward and now we have what we have, it is somehow possible to judge the balance of forces and means, perhaps the direction of the attack... i will not take it, because it must remain some kind of secret there until the end, here, in principle, if you take into account the fact that it is necessary to correct the mistakes of previous times, and the basic mistake is that it takes eight months to announce a counter...offensive, fix two possible directions where they can hit, and then wonder what went wrong yes, everything went wrong, so there are certain prerequisites for

we have restrained optimism that all is not lost, but further it would be better if these opportunities for counterattack actions were talked about as little as possible, so it will simply give more chances that the necessary moment is the strike that will allow the russians somewhere let's ignore the fact that he will be successful, sir, look, just now, i think, i looked at it yesterday, again , mr. president made public the training of ukrainians on the f-16 in denmark, as far as i understand, and this danish one, so, well we saw, we saw, at least i heard it was enough difficult, at least i heard what i wanted to hear, because when everyone says come on, why are there no planes, and then when the ukrainian pilot says, when we saw them, we realized that we will never master these planes, they so complex and so unlike the soviet ones, and what... now we are glad that we are finally starting to master them, the presence of the f-16 on the collision line can change something, purely theoretically, i am

not asking you in which direction they should be to focus and at what targets to shoot, but in principle f16 is a factor, well, you can say that this is a factor, because, well, firstly, the more aircraft we have and modern ones that have perfect on-board equipment, the better, well, secondly, even if... they don't give us any additional ones to the f-16s plushies, such as missile defense missiles, analogues of stormshadow , well, just the fact that the f-16 is a regular carrier of guided aerial bombs, jaydam and these anti-radar missiles will somehow allow harmon to bomb the russians more effectively, but more effectively in the sense that the missiles, that there will be bombs shoot more accurately and at a greater distance, and the missiles will not miss to russian radars, that is, even if it is 10%, it will allow to speed up the rate of utilization of russians on the front. it will already be very good in our conditions, you know, under some basic minimum conditions, and if there is a lot unlocked there by the summer, for example, with help from the united states

of america, then we can hope for air-to-air missiles, they will be able to shoot down russians, just in case, in these shots that we see there, we can see, in particular, that on the ends of the wings on these f16s, there at the same time, these are the same, and 120 of them are already hanging, which at the same time demonstrates to us that, clearly, aerial training battles are already... the stage is being worked out and now it is actually possible that the main issue in the 16th is not even our infrastructure, but that that it will be possible for them not to scrimp on the means of defeat there, or the basic versions of these aim-120 and guided aerial bombs, or maybe the american allies there will tighten up somewhere and give something more powerful, including missiles and gm-158, which are analogues of the stormshed, well, maybe the last question, look, mr. ivan, this is what we talked about about the front line, about the front line. and now anti-aircraft, is it true that the f-16 can work as an air defense and the protection of ukrainian peaceful, rear territory can be

increased and also at the expense of the f-16s? this is perhaps even the first basic function that i would consider for this aircraft, because, well, if we proceed from the pessimistic option, that the americans do not give us the necessary anti-rabies means of destruction, but we have basic aim 120b missiles. can hit from this same plane at 70 km, live by the fact that the f16 has more sensitive equipment than the of the soviet mig-29 and su-27, well, a certain percentage of shooting down cruise missiles and shaheds, this will allow to improve, i will not dare to claim that all 100%, well, because our pilots will be the first to shoot down cruise missiles and shaheds on f16, but the fact that the f16 by itself can help to improve the protection of the rear areas is a fact, maybe even... what will happen first, that the tasks of such rear air defense will be worked out, and then these planes will go to the front, reduce the numbers' i am a russian there with the corresponding counts in the summary, if i had champagne, i would

drank for the reduction of the population of russians, a beautiful phrase was used by ivan kyrychevsky, military expert of defense express, he was in touch with us, thank you very much mr. ivan, i hope he will improve, i hope he will improve his. internet, because he too was somehow not convincing in this in this plot. now advertising, and then oleg sahakyan, but advertising, four minutes , still comes first, sorry, mr. oleg. no one is immune to burst pipes, and even a small leak can cost you tens of thousands of hryvnias for repairs. unpack tv introduces superprotect insulating tape. strong, rubberized, waterproof tape that will instantly stop any leakage, and the price is only from uah 99. superprotect has a triple thickness and is treated with a very strong
