so that everyone understands what we are talking about, it is a million drones, that is, at the moment when europe did not deliver us half a million drones, half a million shells out of the promised millions, a million drones - this means, well, the minimum equivalent of 5 million shells, it means holding the borders and the protection of our soldiers, uah 17 billion is approximately. stations reb, and i want to tell you that approximately 200 stations are enough to densely cover the entire front line from attacks by russian drones, regardless of fpv or lancets or any other, this amount is enough to to make appropriate electronic warfare and intelligence systems in order to... fully

protect kharkiv and odesa, i simply cannot find censorious words when our government only knows how to point the finger at america. our soldiers are dying because america does not give us help. this is all very similar to the year 2021, when the americans, europeans, ukrainians, british, came to kyiv again and again and said: there will be an attack, an inevitable war, prepare gostomel, prepare chongar, prepare chornobyl. and we invested money in roads, froze everything military programs and invested only in the last pre-war year, just think about it, 349 billion hryvnias, it is at that rate, 13 billion dollars. now this shameful story of hungry rumors about road construction is being repeated again, albeit with smaller, more modest numbers, but in the current situation at the front.

this is unacceptable in any case, and that is why i perfectly understand my colleague gerashchenko or honcharenko, now the parliament has all to one, all 420, well, those who certainly did not betray the motherland and did not flee abroad or are not in prison should be at work , to listen to the government and make decisions on how to stop wasting funds on roads, on playgrounds, on overpasses to shopping centers, on anything else, because today. the forces of ukraine need every penny for trenches with concrete and concrete multi -story buildings, equipped with mortars, mortars, drones, radio electronic warfare, and this must be done not only in the area of ​​the breakthrough near avdiivka, but along the entire length of the front of donetsk and luhansk regions, including .

serious lines, protect the lives of our soldiers and defend ukraine. unfortunately, the servants of the people will come up with anything, but like a red mouse , they run away from the verkhovna rada instead of fulfilling their duties. i can't imagine the parliament of a warring country, which has a five-week vacation, which is simply irresponsible in its duties. absolutely, i agree, thanks for your replies, two weeks. people had time, now, well, such questions, but thank you very much for participating, thank you for your comments, yurii lutsenko was with us, a politician, a captain of the armed forces of ukraine, before things, good news, well, it is also obvious to us, although, as they say , we should be in their place, they also have a yellow-blue flag, but they are not us, it is sweden that has become, well, in fact, we can say in principle that sweden joins nato, hungary has completed the process of ratifying sweden's entry into...

the north atlantic alliance. the new president of hungary, tomas shuyok, on march 5, on his first day in office. the new president of hungary, tomas shuyok, on his first day in office, did not go to see anything, did not go abroad on march 8, did not postponed his work, did not celebrate, did not organize a corporate party there somewhere on lake balaton in hungary, which means that he became the president, signed the protocol on the ratification of sweden's accession to nato. it would seem that why hungary is in sweden now, well, you can. to sign in a week, because you have to enter , so to speak, work, look around the office, check the furniture, how does the air conditioner work in the president's office, no, a person sat down and signed, we have a law on mobilization, 400 amendments, today the committee adopted a law on the ban of the ukrainian orthodox church the moscow patriarchate, we will talk more about it tomorrow, we need to discuss, make a decision, today again some priest was detained in cherkasy region, well , people and we will study the fortifications there, but you don't need to study. there is no need, there is a cabinet

of ministers who are responsible for this, there are representatives of regional military administrations who are responsible for this, there are military and engineering troops who are responsible for this, they report, there are people who communicate in english, you don’t have to search for them ... to the supreme council, there are people who communicate in english, this is our colleague, the spokesperson of the operational-strategic grouping of troops, tavria, ilya yevlesh, knows english very well, and what you don't know, that's how we continue the conversation, sorry, well, don't apologize for the emotions here, everyone's emotions are present now, especially for such reasons, now we, now we will talk with ivan plachkov, he is the former minister of fuel and energy, mr. ivan, i congratulate you, congratulations, congratulations, good health to everyone, and it's been two years. the occupation of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear power plant in europe, what is the situation now, what are the threats, let's see, well , look, well, let's start with the fact that the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is the largest plant in europe, it has six power units of

1000 megawatts, it is a very huge nuclear facility, in addition to the immediate power units, there is a huge the number of objects su'. managing the operation of the nuclear power plant, including the spent nuclear fuel storage, in addition to the holding pool, spent fuel pools and storage, storage for spent nuclear fuel, therefore immediately after the occupation the next day the situation became threatening, became dangerous, from the point of view of radiation safety, and to this day, it, it remains, it and the threat is increasing, i would say why? because we remember the situation in the cooling basin, where there

was a problem with water for cooling after the destruction of the kokhovsky hess dam, firstly, secondly, the situation is very difficult. there are constantly damaged power lines that provide electricity for their own needs, this is the provision of the cooling system safety, despite the fact that the reactor units today, if they were shut down there, then such a cold soup, a hot stop, well, these are already such technological things, and very... a very difficult and threatening situation is related to the personnel, for the last there is almost no information left about our ukrainian personnel who operated the operation, worked at the nuclear plant, and we know that the personnel

in order to work at the nuclear plant must have appropriate training and... licensing, the regulator is our ukrainian, he licenses absolutely all personnel, that means that these personnel are licensed to work at this nuclear plant, i know, i'm sorry, i'm going to interrupt you, because we have two less than two minutes there, but i want a question, i'm done, i 'm done, i'm done , and the mission of the iaea was very useful to us, which showed us,

security, because it is necessary today, to increase the pressure, to increase the sanctions against rosatom, and the iaea, the entire world community, nuclear in... the governments of all countries, they must do their best and impossible to ensure radiation safety and, most importantly, such a factor so that after deoccupation we get an operational nuclear power plant, we literally have 40 seconds, but i can’t help but ask, well, i think you will briefly, but essentially say, whether it can or not maybe they write that the russians want to launch the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant in the occupied territories, in the occupied crimea, first of all, well, they are also occupied. technologically, it is real. technologically, it is real. well, it is very large . the investment must be monetary, and i think that from the point of view of the economy for russians, it is

it is unprofitable, they have enough generating capacity, so far in order for them not to lose, spend enormous money on... here is such a large system of reconstruction, such as high-voltage networks, there are substations and so on, and the entire infrastructure, thank you very much for your comments , your expert comments. plachkov, the former minister of fuel and energy of ukraine was with us, but you know, russians, it is not necessary for them that it should be logical, but it is building something, it is possible to steal money, it is possible to launder money , i.e do you remember the story of how this rotenberg built some kind of a wall there somewhere, well, in sochi or somewhere, and there he earned 14 billion rubles from it, well, there are some terrible sums for a wall simply made of bricks with stone the wall is 14 billion rubles for that, that's why i think the russians will build

those people who will be on contracts, they will make money on them, even if they will stretch the line from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to vladivostok or to khantemansiysk, in principle they still don't care about labetnanga, they can attract them to this one in the polar the wolf is fine with them there, but we have to return ours now, serhiy zahorets , the director of the defense express agency , and the military summary of the day column, are joining the conversation. congratulations to serhii , please. greetings, vasyl, greetings to our viewers, today in our column we will talk about the destruction by drones of a russian ship in the black sea and about the situation on the front line west of avdiivka in a conversation with our military, who are holding the defense there, about that in a moment. of course, i will start with a good story, which is already known to everyone, but what cannot be ignored: this is about the attack of our naval drones, which were destroyed by the russian patrol ship of the black sea fleet

serhii kotov. this cool attack took place today, march 5, at night in the territorial waters of our state, not far from the kerch strait. the main directorate of intelligence confirmed the success of this action, as it was stated, the destruction of the ship took place in cooperation with the naval forces of ukraine. they were used to strike. magura v5 naval drones, the creation and improvement of which is actually provided by military intelligence, now we see the video that gur later showed, and here we see this, well, the attack format will play, because if we carefully move this video, we will see that first these sea drones hit the left side of the ship, then after a certain insignificant time to starboard. the ship becomes invulnerable, and then several more drones

strike the sides, and even in the hole another drone enters and detonates this very ship from the inside, this tactic was used before, when, in particular , the large amphibious assault ship caesar kunnikov was destroyed on february 14. in the same way, this tactic of the group turned out to be quite effective, and there was also... the main intelligence department demonstrated the interception of a conversation where the commander of a brigade of ships of the black sea fleet makes a report, says that a helicopter was also used to repel the attack, that is, they knew that the attack will be, but they were not able to effectively repel this attack, according to the main intelligence agency, such a ship there costs more than 60 million dollars, the losses also include the k-29 helicopter, which was transporting this corvette there in the hangar, the loss of life

forces, seven dead, six wounded and somewhere around fifty other crew members managed to evacuate the enemy during, well, after the impact, this corvette, in fact, is one of the newest ships of this project, it was transferred to the black sea fleet in the 22nd. year and we can say that now there were four such ships on the black sea, now there are three left. what we can conclude is that the armed forces regularly destroy the ships of the black sea fleet, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, there in total somewhere around 15 ships were destroyed or damaged, this rockets were also used, and naval drones are used more, which demonstrate such tactics of displacing the enemy. this also affected the creation of the grain corridor, and we will wait for this story to be continued, because

the enemy still has enough targets for our naval drones. and then we will talk about combat operations. now, in fact, the entire front line is extremely difficult. 74 collisions is quite a lot. the two hottest sections are the novopavlivskyi direction and the situation west of avdiivka. notify the general staff. about that 28 attacks were repelled there near the settlements of berda, or tonenko, pervomaiske, nevelske, in fact, the situation is extremely difficult in each of these areas, but now. we will be able to learn more details from our guest, we are joined by oleksandr shirshin, deputy battalion commander of the 47th separate assault brigade, an experienced military man who passed the post of a company platoon commander, now he is a deputy battalion commander, a knight, if i am not mistaken, of the order of courage , mr. oleksandr, i congratulate you, i am glad

to see and hear, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes , first of all i would like... from our audience to thank you and your comrades for the work that your brigade is currently doing in the conditions of the insane pressure exerted by the enemy, and i would like that within possible, you told what is happening now in our direction in your direction, as i understand, this is actually the left flank of our defense, when we look at avdiivka, what were those extreme days, what was happening, the extreme days were... hard enough for us, so that the enemy regularly tries every day to carry out assault offensive actions there, it all started with the fact that they entered with equipment, they unloaded infantry in large numbers into our ranks, the infantry was destroyed along with the equipment, what you can see in the public access video, it was mainly the work of the bradley infantry fighting vehicle and fv drones, now

they have changed their tactics a little, most likely... all because most of the equipment they drove in remained standing in the fields, they continue infantry assaults, purely infantry such small attacks, they do it during the day 5-7 times, that is our intensity is very high. oleksandr, what about the berdychs, in fact, the enemy there several times during the week jumped into the center of the village, knocked them out. he retreated or remained killed there in the vicinity of the village, what is it now in berdych, where the line of contact passes? berdychi is now almost completely under our control, the first five or six houses, which you can see in the videos themselves, the enemy managed to lay down, so

to speak, a larva, and get a foothold there, everything else is controlled by... we are holding the defense quite so seriously and densely, approximately the same situation as we had in the steppe, the defense was held there for about 4.5 months, but the identical situation is developing here, and the enemy, the same one that was advancing, the same russian brigades that were advancing on the stpv, they are also attacking you now, i think that the enemy has probably not changed, or some kind of rotation or addition of strength has taken place there. yes, the enemy has not changed, but the same brigades are advancing, some of them have already undergone one or two recovery, that is, taking into account the information we received from their captives, they retreated, were rehabilitated there, were replenished, and they say that such meat is constantly brought there every couple of days, they have an adequate

supply of people there, so to speak, so they continue their assaults, suffer from them it's hard, but they're being pushed, they're being pushed quite seriously, is the information correct that literally in the last couple of days you've got more artillery ammunition, because we've seen a number of impressive videos of how your brigade works with cluster munitions, other means, is this a positive moment in the actions of our artillery? look, in my opinion, it's not that there is more ammunition, it's a matter of efficient use of the resource, that is, when you... you don't use everything that is given to you conditionally there for a certain period, one, two or three days, and you you don't work there one person at a time or you don't work on non-priority objectives, and when expecting such retreating assault actions, you can use the reserves that you managed to postpone, work off, destroy the enemy and prevent his further advance, which

regarding the enemy's use of armored vehicles, you said that they are quite effective. destroyed at the expense of our bradley infantry fighting vehicles, does this story continue and a little bit of detail about the use of the abrams tank by your brigade, because in fact , did the crew remain after the enemy hit the abrams and are these heavy tanks still used in combat? yes, of course, we use all the shipping equipment we have, you must understand that war is always a loss. the technique, whatever it is, is the best, it is not eternal, and it is the same susceptible to damage from the enemy, considering that our crews, they are quite good. roughly speaking, in the enemy's order of battle and destroying it there in relation to

the crew of the abrams tank, i don't know which one you mean, but the crews are evacuated with them at the moment, everything is fine , what about the use? kabibs, does this practice persist on your part of the front, does it have some kind of dynamics, how does it affect , well, first of all, our fortifications? yes, they still continue to use, the intensity of the use of mouthguards has decreased, in my opinion, this happened because avdiivka was a priority task for them, and they did everything possible to capture avdiivka, so they released a lot of caps there at that time. at the moment, they are many times less, but they still work. the effectiveness of hubs depends on the hit, and if it falls clearly into the salt, falls into areas where we have

fortifications or concentration of personnel there , we bear losses, not without this, but in general, well, if we compare the number of released kabs and the number injuries inflicted for us, it is not very, not very effective. there were reports that the enemy is using chemical compounds in dumps there, chemical ammunition there, does this practice exist, well, is it preserved, did your units come into contact with this, in this area, here in berdychi, they have not yet come into contact, but there is nothing new here , nothing surprising, that’s how long i find in the armed forces, that’s how long we face this, that is, they use black... especially in the steppe, we had a lot of use of chemicals from dumps, not only during dumps, they were also used,

most likely it was something of the type or cluster ammunition, i don't know for sure, but what is launched from artillery installations, and well , in general, there is nothing strange, they continue to do it, they have not yet reached berdichi, but there were previous attempts. ordinary people know you from the photo in the trench with timothy snyder's book, i am sure that they dug it with their own hands, but what about the fortifications on this part of the front where you are now holding the defense, is it possible to use your own equipment there, there well engineering support groups for the improvement of the fortification, or is it in these conditions, when such constant attacks of the enemy are made. to do it is simply impossible or extremely risky, as is happening now? it depends on how far from the demarcation line we do it, that is

, close to the demarcation line , it is impossible to do it, given that the equipment is slow, it stands still, it carries out the relevant work , but a little further away, the work is carried out, an important point, here it is very an important point, we all try to find betrayal in the unequipped... these and really a certain part there there is some truth in this, but there are some areas where trenches were roughly arranged there or certain positions were dug there with an excavator, and further work should have been carried out by personnel, that is, by infantry with their own hands, with their own shovels, but, unfortunately, this does not happen, for what reason, well, here you can discuss in different ways. mm, for what reason, i can’t explain now, that is, people are not quite ready to work, we have to understand that war, it requires more efforts, including physical ones, including digging trenches, including overlapping and so on

further, and in the same way, especially the people who are trying to explain the lack of a second line in the rear, i really ask them to gather as a volunteer team and come and help us with the trench while we hold the line of defense, let them help us to equip it, we will be very grateful, i will clarify for myself, that is, in fact , the military is sufficiently exhausted to complete those fortifications that are dug there by machine, or we simply ignore this threat and simply do not consider it appropriate to go deeper and waste time on the preparation of structures by the forces of the brigade , we are talking about this, almost yes, almost yes, that is, part of the military they are for... in active hostilities, and during active hostilities to carry out fortification equipment, it is quite difficult, that is, they can be done, but in a small amount, who are standing now

in the rear, who could do it, i don't know for what reason, if they are not used here, they do not carry it out, if we are talking about a separate sub-unit or a separate unit, like a soldier conventionally, people very safe, for now at the moment i cannot, and accordingly the security measures are ignored, this is an elementary security measure, it is ignored and thus it leads to what we have today... you were a commander, you are a commander, and in the conditions of such complex hostilities, this it is necessary to motivate people to perform a combat task, it is not easy enough in the current conditions, how do you motivate subordinates to perform a combat task, what arguments are used, how is it done, in different ways, there is no

one thing. and there is no simple solution, there are moments when it is enough for you to simply talk to a person, there are times when your personal example is enough, there are times when you have to shout, when you have to force a person to go out and do their duty in this way, there are times when you explain to them that not just the future of a great state depends on this, but you go to... small, small points like your family, your wife, your children, and when people begin to realize that they are really doing more than just this general, it is unknown to whom, and for his relatives, for some a small unit, accordingly, this is also part of the motivation, there is no simple answer, these are actually very complex, complex processes, complex issues, the 47th brigade restrained the defense, kept the defense in the steppe,

provided. withdrawal to new positions, now holding the defense of berdych, one way or another, these combat operations are associated with losses and they need replenishment, how is it carried out, is it available, do recruiting models work for your brigade, here is what can be said about replenishment of personnel , not to say too much, but to outline at least a trend? i i do not comment on such moments, i think it is correct. here are the forces that we have, which are transferred to us, at the moment, we can perform the tasks that are in front of us, then these are internal issues that we are solving here, i will ask about the provision of drones, because there are some brigades were there, well , an additional number of drones from supposedly state structures were transferred, did it affect your brigade, or is there a replenishment of drone arsenals from state manufacturers?

from state manufacturers, i have not come across this, most likely there is none, i can definitely do it to say that at the level of individual cities and communities , we had the provision of drones for our brigade, we collect part of it with the help of volunteers, ordinary people who simply top up our banks, drop us off at various meetings, and we also close part of it with our own efforts, that is, this is how we get out of the situation, because it's all for our... demand. mr. officer, thank you very much for your explanations for our viewers, for the work you do to protect our state, and i will remind our viewers that it was alexander shirshin, deputy commander of the battalion of the 47th separate assault brigade, which is currently holding the defense in the berdychiv zone, this is to the west of avdiyivka, this is the direction where the enemy along the entire line is trying to push through our defenses,

but we can see that in this section, where . the enemy's seventh brigade does not succeed, he suffers losses, and this, well, is good news, but we understand that all this rests primarily on the courage of those soldiers, those officers, one of whom we spoke with today. these were the main results of the day, and more international and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. these were the military results of the day. thanks to serhiy zgurets, thanks to his guest. good evening, we are from ukraine. well, the second hour of the great ether is ahead, we have prepared a lot of important and interesting information for you. the world about ukraine, what is happening there in the states, sweden in nato, and a lot of other important information. money during the war with oleksandr morshchevku will also be cultural news today. and the weather from

natalka didenko, the cold is coming. ukraine, is winter really coming back?
