help in the manufacture of staples, picks, shovels, axes. we are already used to it, so there is nothing difficult about it. at first it was difficult, but now there was a very large demand for staples, people were tired, because the summer was such a difficult period, but i came according to the announcement, tried it, it was difficult, i doubted what it would turn out to be, because it is impossible to forge it simple, well, nothing, learned, now with pleasure. ruslan burkivskyi, a professional welder, every week in his free time from work rushes from his town of shpola to... bedyn: i came here precisely because of the women, because i, as a man, felt ashamed that women do men's work, with - that's why i called mykola and offered my services, but since i'm a welder by profession, yes, well, i found

a place for myself here at the forge, because i'm as efficient as possible here. the manager of this project, also the logistics manager, fundraiser, pr specialist, 30-year-old mykola volyk. it all started with a request from a fellow villager , military serviceman serhii kovita. he asked for help with staples for the unit. in his yard, mykola equipped an improvised forge and, together with his comrades, produced the first few hundred staples. when it became clear that there was a huge need for staples and other equipment, a tent was set up, the fellow villagers were asked for help, and the matter started. we made 160 00 skop, burzuyok, boiled 127 juices. made 7400, oleksandr gubin makes he has already made a thousand axes, and 700 of these people demolished the axes, and we straightened them, boiled them, filled them, 13 pickaxes, 800 hedgehogs, three-legged ones that cook porridge, all that 1100, sapper

shovels made 10 thousand soldapov shovels , people also demolished from all villages, ordinary shovels were demolished, we cut them. and they made small mining shovels and welded 6,700 pieces of hammers, they all work for free and hand over the manufactured products also for free, of course, there is a lack of money, and this is almost the main difficulty of this work. our work begins here not shackling, our work it begins with the fact that we are looking for funds to purchase fittings, this is the beginning of our work, and today we dock. we don't have fittings for tomorrow, we are looking for and forging ourselves, so sometimes it is more difficult to find funds than to actually forge. serhiy kovita smiles from a portrait on the wall of the forge, with whose light hand it all started. sergey, unfortunately, died,

but without a doubt, the life of more than one of our soldiers was saved thanks to the efforts of the team of this forge. from cherkasy for the espresso tv channel. it remains to add that the tv channel espresso continues to assemble fpv drones for a separate platoon of the sapsan unmanned aerial systems of the state special transport service. these courageous soldiers are actively fighting in the donetsk direction, attacking and restraining the enemy. thanks to drones, they successfully destroy a lot of russian equipment, fortifications and manpower, so we have a goal: to collect 1 million hryvnias for flying weapons, we already have more than 700 thousand in our accounts. uah together, we invite you to speed up our victory. such were the news at that time. you can read more on our website espresso.tv. also follow us on social media and watch us on youtube. and then

my colleagues marta oliarnyk and antin barkovskii continue the broadcast. greetings to all viewers of spresso, information day. already begins at this time, so we will talk about the events of today and not only. marta oliarnyk is currently working for you in the studio, and i want to start by thanking you, because yesterday you and i were able to close the collection for a million hryvnias. this is very important, because during our daytime broadcast yesterday, you and i were able to accumulate several tens of thousands of hryvnias, approximately 30 thousand hryvnias. and actually, we thank everyone who joined this meeting during these weeks and thank everyone who yesterday until... this meeting, with joint efforts we still closed this meeting, for which we are really very grateful to you, and

today, of course that we will start a new fundraiser, how can we help our armed forces without this, we must continue in the same spirit, so today we are announcing a new fundraiser espresso is calling to join the fundraiser for 50 fpv drones for the soldiers of the 81st separate of the airmobile brigade, which hold back the onslaught of the enemy near bilogorivka and in the pakelny luhansk direction, every day and every hour there are heavy battles to gain a position. and repel the constant attacks of the occupiers, we will not give the enemy a chance, your donation is a small step towards a great victory, our goal is 800 00 hryvnias, so join in, you see the details on the screen and remember that every hryvnia is important and thanks to you we closed it is more than one gathering, so this time we ask you to support our military, and we would like to thank you for your tireless sacrifice and for your tireless generosity, dear tv viewers, but we understand that our fighters need this equipment, this ammunition. well, this is a vital necessity, so to speak, and there is no , you know, pun or exaggeration here, if

you have the opportunity, then you can see the qr codes, and you also know who this money will go to, and we continue to inform you about the most important thing, so the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky invited the countries of the balkan region at the level of leaders to participate in the inaugural peace summit, zelensky said this during the opening of the summit ukraine southeastern europe, what is happening in... early albania, well, but still international - it is very important, strategically important, but the key story is unfolding now on the big front of the russian-ukrainian war. vladyslav seleznyo, military expert, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine and spokesperson of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 2014 to 17 years has been in touch with us on espresso. mr. vladyslav, we are always glad to see you. glory to ukraine. friends, congratulations, glory to the heroes. so, the enemies are pressing near avdiivka. continue their offensive, we understand that they do not give rest to our armed forces, how do you currently

assess the situation in the avdiiv direction and whether this direction really remains the most serious now, we understand that all directions are serious, nevertheless we understand that the avdiiv direction is currently receiving a lot of attention chained, how do you assess the general situation in this direction and can we consider that this direction remains the most difficult now? well , it would seem strange, two months ago ukrainian general kyryll budena stated that by... the beginning of march, the offensive potential of the russian occupation army will be completely exhausted, but we can see that the colorful events at the front do not at all correspond to the same expectations that we counted on and that were indicated by ukrainian intelligence. where , where is the truth, the truth seems to me to be that the enemy is now literally using all available resources, trying to prevent the ukrainian army from gaining a foothold, because we all well remember that the ukrainian army is behind. .. after it lost control over avdiivka, it began to conduct defensive maneuvers, to withdraw, withdrawing, while withdrawing a little

further west, but we can see that the settlement of vastivskina, the settlement of severna, and the stpv, they also came under the control of the russian occupying forces strength, why? because the enemy does not allow our units to gain a foothold on the ground. of course, here we should recall the statement of the spokesman of the tavria military grouping command. mr. dmytro lykhovoy, who said that the ukrainian army, leaving its current positions, will be anchored on new ones boundaries and positions, but it did not happen, why it did not happen, whether the same fortifications were not properly prepared, or maybe those fortifications are of a slightly more western heritage is unknown, because there is no information in open sources about where exactly the engineering works are being created, are currently being built fortifications that should be occupied by the ukrainian troops in order to prevent the russians from advancing further, hence the conclusion: the enemy is trying to put pressure on our units as much as possible in order to take

control of the ukrainian territory as much as possible, because the place it is obvious to him, he is trying to completely occupy the entire donetsk region, as well as the entire territory of zaporozhye and the kherson region, of course, the ukrainian army of the east cannot dig into the ground, and the process of creating engineering fortifications is, rather , still ongoing, and therefore ahead of us, we are all being read not only by events. in the avdiiv direction, because i think that it is worth considering the processes that are currently stealing, west of the swallow, but also in the context of the events that are happening west of bakhmut and... southwest of marinka, the enemy is trying to attack our defenders along a wide front, in this way , trying to radically change the situation, whether he will have enough resources, well, i hope that our intelligence makes an absolutely clear forecast, and therefore most of the time, i think that in a certain hostilities will gradually subside, but once again, president volodymyr zelenskyi emphasizes that, most likely

, at the end of spring at the beginning of summer, the enemy will again switch to his strategy of offensive actions, and therefore we have... what to do at this time, namely to create powerful, extensive networks of engineering fortifications in order to be able to destroy the enemy's military potential while on strategic defense and, under the cover of the actions of our troops on the reporting line, accumulate resources for our own counteroffensive actions. mr. colonel, we understand that the enemy is trying to keep its strategic plans secret, on the other hand, we understand that there is a certain military element... in their actions, and if we talk now, well, about the situation in general on the front line, where your opinion the enemy can to try to implement what is popularly called the general direction, so we understand that there are several fire-hazardous directorates, there are directions in which it is extremely hot, but yes, what do you think could be one of

the strategic versions of the enemy's actions, well, of course, i can't to look into the brain, chief of the russian general staff, but the logic of hostilities seems to me to be as follows: the enemy will try to establish his human superiority, his superiority in military and technical means, the enemy is trying to take advantage of what is critical for us there is a lack of artillery ammunition, the fact that the enemy has absolute dominance in the air due to the active use of attack and bomber aircraft, and therefore the enemy will push forward, which is important for the enemy to... control over railway lines and railway junctions, which means that the fastest, most likely, the enemy will concentrate its efforts in order to take control of the national kupinsky nodal point in the kupinsky direction, and it is there that the concentration of the same railway tracks is located, including those that have a direction on the territory of the russian

federation, and it will be very important to keep the enemy under control, especially the chelyabinsk one. of course, the enemy will try to push our units as far as possible from volnovaka, in particular by cutting the ugledar ledge, because now between ugledar and lolnov, there is about 20 km even less, which means that long-range artillery can effectively work along the valnavaka railway junction , and this, in turn, means that the enemy is unable to use this branch of the railway connection for its intended purpose, and the thief will be for money. efforts to build a linear connection along the azov coast, i.e. the northern parts, in order to have backup routes for the supply of military and technical property, both to ensure the activities of the russian army operating in the south of zaporizhzhia and the south of kherson region, and, accordingly, to ensure the russian group operating in crimea and sevastopol. by the way, i wanted to ask you, there was information that

they are currently building a railway from mariupol to crimea, and we understand that this is quite a serious challenge for... the armed forces, because we see that the enemy also analyzes the situation, understands that, for example, if it does not even have parity in the black sea and the sea of ​​azov, then we understand that they will look for other ways of logistics, what threat could there be, in fact, if they manage to restore this railway chain and they can provide this logistics by land by railway, and the fact is that as we did not call the current war with you an artillery war , what... is absolutely a valid statement and the war of drones, but the key thesis that is decisive for the current russian-ukrainian war is the war of resources, so in order for the enemy to be able to deliver on time, that is , a certain amount for its own means and forces, it is important that the same logistics worked, and its

logistics, accordingly, in order for it to work, appropriate resources are needed, in particular... first of all, railway resources, because it is the left part of the transport that is carried out by means of railway connections, so we have it is absolutely clear to understand this. the enemy will use all its capabilities and resources in order to have an extensive and somewhat duplicated network of the same railway transportation, and this is exactly what he will direct his activities to, in turn, ukrainian partisans, ukrainian vakulaks will oppose it in every possible way, as well as and i hope that in the future our... tchiks, which will be used by v16 fighters, our guns, which will use long-range artillery, will destroy the same network, because in fact we have to understand that now is a war is in a state where not even the russian occupation army has a total advantage on the battlefield, and of course, the ukrainian defense force also critically lacks the same resources, and therefore there is a certain

stagnation at the front, the transition of the war to such a positional phase, rather everything will be observed, and as a result, the opportunity to conduct a maneuverable defense, the opportunity to carry out certain rotations and the transfer of resources from different areas of the front in order to be able to concentrate on certain areas for a short period of time. the front mainly the number of personnel and armored weapons can be given in signs, so i think that in the future we will see such a serious game of chess played by the russian general hirasim on the one hand, and our commander-in-chief oleksandr syrskyi on the other. who will win in that confrontation? well, it is obvious that not only the understanding of military science, and accordingly strategy, but also availability plays a role here. i hope that in terms of resources, we are supported not only by the ukrainian defense industry, but also by our western partners, because in fact, resources the front requires in extremely

large quantities, the current war, the artillery war, the drone war, the technology war, the modern judgment war, the equipment and the techniques, and we all agree very much, colonel, we would also like to ask you about your sense of what may be going on in kharkiv oblast , a few days ago, one of our people's deputies mentioned kharkiv, kharkiv oblast, in her overseas interview, and the people there are extremely tense, and this is in principle quite natural, extremely tense, yes, well, we understand that there are fierce battles in kupin oblast, the enemy puts itself the task of going to a couple of populated areas, and there to the same kupyansk hub and not only to it, on the other hand, we understand that there are certain resources calculated with the help of intelligence tools, including, so to speak, celestial aerial reconnaissance satellites plus,

well, the explanation is sometimes heard that there is not a sufficient concentration of enemy forces in the belgorod region, instead, kharkiv residents very often privately ask, and if the enemy, for example, decides to open another front line on the border between ukraine and... an aggressor, for example, on the area that additionally borders with belgorod oblast, but now it is quiet there, and i look at my notes, on the territory of bryansk, kursk and belgorod oblasts there are about 266 personnel, 134 units of tanks, another 392 units of armored fighting vehicles, artists, well, somewhere with a caliber of 100 mm and more , somewhere between fifty and fifty. and up to 50 jet systems per fire, is that a lot or a little? in fact, to carry out a large-scale offensive operation, for example, with the aim of occupying kharkov, it is critically insufficient.

why? because, for example, it is now russian the group operating in the kupenko-liman direction has a total of 110,000 personnel. does it help the russians to fundamentally change the situation in the direction of the nakupinsk junction or in the direction of nalivan? well, obviously from... three months in a row storming these positions, not suffering significant losses, there is no advance along the front, the same situation in the area of ​​the settlement of tabaya, tabaivka, there from the east the enemy is trying to attack our positions in the direction of kupinskuzlovy, the same without success, and therefore i think that there is no reason to be nervous yet residents of kharkiv that... a large-scale ground or ground military operation, but of course our regional center in the east of the country remains in the risk zone, because the enemy actively uses

the missile component, in particular ballistic missiles, actively uses the drone component to inflict missile damage on our regional center, such there is a challenge, but as for the possibility of conducting a foreign offensive operation in the near or even mid-term perspective, i think that it is not worth focusing on it. because the enemy has no resources yet, and the resources he has has, he is not able to use effectively in order to take at least a controlled population center at the level of a large slug, well , on the other hand, knowing those, so to speak , knowing our enemy, that is, they can, you know, overbite, that is, intimidate, intensify the shelling and so on, we literally have one minute, even a little less left, mr. colonel, the south, the situation in the robotyn area, what is there in... my opinion. difficult situation. the enemy before the enemy suffers a lot of losses. our weapons work effectively there. turning it into a pile of manure every time russian assault troops. therefore, i think that

the situation will continue. the ukrainian army is under control, but the more resources, in particular artillery, our soldiers will have, the more confident our soldiers will feel on this part of the front. thank you, mr. vladyslav, vladyslav seleznyuv, military expert-colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, spokesperson of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 2014 to 2017 was eteri espresso. we will now take a short break, after which we will join our ether officer, who is currently in the avdiiv direction. more about the situation in this region, let's say, we will discuss. with serhiy tsekhotskyi, literally minutes are counted, so wait. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the strong saw from unpack tv is just for you. with it you can easily cut trees and bushes. it is so convenient to use it for carpentry . it is the perfect tool for your home or garden. and the price is only from uah 1,499.
