to speed up these processes from one point of view, it is also connected with the elections, because in general this whole wave about july 1, about the need to obtain a passport there according to a simplified procedure, it was quite significantly pumped up just before the elections, so i think that this one of the factors, and another, of course, is that they are trying in this way to identify people who have such an anti-occupation position there, to break them down, in fact, and you are absolutely right that we are not talking about any deportation to the controlled territory. can't, it will be factual simply the abduction of people and their imprisonment and topping to the deep territories of russia, because in fact all these stories about deportation, even since the beginning of the war, because periodically there was such information, in fact they ended, or that people were sent on foot through a gray area , across the contact line and then shot in the back, or in some other way, in fact, just for the video , they were released, in fact, then they imprisoned tzizo, which are temporarily occupied territories, that is, no one is free people...

the temporarily occupied territories of our unfortunately, he does not let the ukrainians go, but we understand that the russians are in trouble, we understand that our people are holding on, and again this thesis is confirmed by the fact that the actions of the resistance movement, they continue, such as undermining autocollaborators, only recently it was in berdyansk, and we see constant actions from the side of the yellow tape, that is, two years of occupation, all the various methods of pressure, but this does not change anything, our people continue to fight against the russians in the temporarily occupied territories, i have two questions here, first - the occupiers promise to retake zaporizhzhia in a day, i will not even ask this question, because it is clear that this is a wet dream, but the second is interesting, again, i will ask, and you do not name the locations there, who is doing it, but simply the fact itself is important here, that in zaporizhzhia they developed and manufacture ground drones, well, this is open information, i did not hear it from sources, i read it in the news feed, that is why i voice it, because i, but i understand that the enemy can hunt for anyone, that's why we're not there, but the very fact that it's in zaporizhzhia, well, actually a front-line city...

ground drones have been developed and are being manufactured, i don’t know which ones there exactly, or those that evacuate, or those that mine, or well, but to what extent is there an opportunity in zaporizhzhia today, perhaps with the support of the state, for support of private business, or people somehow raise money themselves, to do what is needed at the front, drones, ground, air, there are some other things, nets, well, it is a little cheaper, but it is to work for war, again not for war, and for the armed forces of ukraine, which wants to finally stop this war in ukraine, i want to to say that zaporizhzhia , despite its proximity to the front line, remains a very big support for the armed forces of ukraine, starting from organizations that manufacture drones, and this already has such an industrial scale, ending with our metallurgical enterprises, machine-building enterprises, which actually also work on the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, this is again open information, because in the industry of the zaporizhzhia region it is largely self-oriented to our defense capability, because we have a large the number of these businesses and they operate and continue to operate on... despite

the large number of, again, strikes on these businesses and hostile other strikes, and what concerns, again, going back to the drones, i think there is no one such initiative, not one, let's say a circle of people who do it, there are several organizations of different scales, but they work, some work for donations, some work in collaboration with business, some are gaining these industrial scales, it even works out for them as , let's say the sphere of production, they enter into some contracts there. contracts with the armed forces of ukraine and do all this on an industrial scale, so i think that zaporizhzhia, despite its proximity to the front line, more than 600,000 people remain in the city, the city works, and thanks to the armed forces of ukraine, today there are already several months the city has not been bombarded with s300, i.e. it is important to already have a time interval between the departures of enemy missiles and the transition to shelter, this is quite significant and stabilized the economic sphere of zaporizhzhia, in overall productivity of the economy, and today zaporizhzhia... well, it is a reliable support for the armed

forces of ukraine. yes, by the way, i’m already thinking about this zaporizhia in a day, it’s clear that it’s impossible, the enemy is standing there today in the area of ​​the robot, somewhere there in other areas, maybe somewhere, but it’s still before, well, only from vidorikhova, if i'm not mistaken, it's 70 kilometers to zaporizhzhia , that is, he can't get there in a day, even if he really wanted to, even if there were no barriers there, but it's important, it's important to emphasize. i would like to say - i just, i just have one more thesis, but in kharkiv, well, there the enemy is also crawling around the city conditionally and for well, there are still shelling, but in zaporizhzhia, shelling just in the first two months of this year is 100,00 kharkiv residents, about that figure, well, there they say from 50 somewhere they will say that they moved closer to the people, this is just a fact, and someone believed what the deputy ms. ustinova said that kharkiv would be besieged there, but it works, well, maybe the enemy is counting on this, that the city from... it

is much easier to take suddenly , if even, look, i will tell you frankly in zaporizhzhia there are no such trends, and even all of them. regarding the fact that zaporizhzhia can be captured, look, well, in fact, a month ago , this, including informational and psychological special operation by the russians with their activation in the robotyan region, when they increased the number of shelling, the number of attacks, and during this month they actually have not advanced even in the robotno area, not to mention the orikhs there, that is, they are actually still tens of kilometers from orikhov, that is, our local residents, they have objective information about what is happening at the front, because we see the front here, we are near it, and people are not that not en masse... people in general are not leaving, i think that there is a great merit here, including the authorities at all levels, because we see active work today for the construction of fortifications, today there are already construction projects in large numbers hidden in schools, underground schools, that is, in general, it is demonstrated at all levels that

zaporizhzhia will be a stable city, and on the contrary , today everything is being done so that from the point of view of security people are safe here, comfortable and those people who at one time left there last year, when there was massive shelling, so that on the contrary they returned, so... i can clearly tell you that there is no population outflow in zaporizhzhia, as in kharkiv, i mean, there is still a little bit there for a minute , but here is the information about the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, now it is somehow less talked about, but they did not allow the magate mission, representatives of the magate, to go there again, and there is a problem with the fact that the fuel somehow remains there for a certain working time, well, i'm not atomic an energy engineer, so i will not pretend here... i understand there very well, but there are certain problems, please tell me whether this issue is also relevant today in zaporizhzhia, because living next to and from the largest power plant in europe, where there are such problems, it is not very calm. look, in public opinion, this issue is not a priority today, because

, well, again, a large amount of information surrounding this issue is quite rational, people understand and all the dangers associated with as, and all, well, let's say, actions that can do our organs dsne. the other was appropriate training, i.e., let’s say, the situation among the population is, of course, tense in relation to possible accidents there , or man-made disasters that the occupiers can arrange, but again, this does not cause any panicky moods there , unfortunately, we are in zaporizhzhia, probably since the first day of the war there we are in a state of tension, and in this state people go to work, people work, people support the armed forces of ukraine and live their lives, despite the fact that the front line is there in 40 km. well i will put an end to this and thank you for the conversation, askada shurbekov, deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, take care. well, we still have one more topic, and there is one more topic that we want to discuss, before i pass the floor to anya, no, i don't have any topic,

we can pass the floor then, i thought of something, that now she, everything, serhii zgurets, director of the defense express agency, host of the military summaries of the day column. serhiy, congratulations, i would like to speak to you. i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today is our fault column, we will talk about when f-16 fighters may appear on the front line about unexpected information from the commander of the air force olashchuk about the destruction of one of the command posts, the information is currently being developed, and about the course of hostilities west of avdiivka, along the line there are berdychi, semenivka, orlivka, tonenka, which our military entered and what is happening there now. in conversation with our military, if we make contact with our guests, so all that in a moment. i will start our military column, first of all, with a number of topics that swept through the

foreign media and which are worthy of attention in view of the importance for our security. first of all, regarding the preparation of ukrainian pilots for the long-awaited. f-16 fighters. the american edition of the new york times reported today that 12 ukrainian pilots will be ready for combat operations on the f-16 this summer, after 10 months of training in denmark, great britain, and the united states. but there are a number of interesting details here. the publication notes that although pilot training on modern fighter jets was carried out for evaluation. kami instructors lightning fast, all the same the preparation process is progressing somewhat more slowly than expected by both ukraine and the allies themselves, and the main issue here is that some time was spent on preparation for

mastering the technical language, technical details, relatively speaking, they started the preparation in august, and the flights began only in january of the 24th year, regarding you... destroyers. by the time these 12 pilots complete their training , only six f-16 fighters can be delivered to ukraine. in general, we know that the netherlands is given. norway and belgium have committed to send about 45 planes to ukraine, that 's for three squadrons, but in fact the supply of these planes will go later, and 13 will arrive only at the end of the year, the rest somewhere in 25, but the first six will be earlier, that is, in fact, now we will have a little more pilots than planes that will arrive in the summer. maintenance, there are also interesting details here, it turned out that for each... of the detaks we need from eight to 14 technical specialists, technicians, and now

about 50 ukrainian military personnel, as technicians, undergo training in denmark, and in fact it is so only for six planes. another topic is the preparation of runways, here we understand that the air force command is currently solving this issue, air force spokesman yuriy hnat said that we will not... build new airfields, but will use the existing ones. it is quite difficult, because the enemy is now trying to carry out attacks on all our airfields, so securing these airfields is an important issue, and it is also, well, an important component of the time to transfer these planes to ukraine. well, as for me, honestly that being said, this piece isn't about treason, it 's about a unique story, because no country that has transitioned to the f-16 has done so as quickly as it is now. does ukraine, i think that after the transfer of the first aircraft, the first experience will be the pace and the transfer of aircraft and

training will be compensated by the use of other capacities, we remember, we remember that there is a new training center in romania, which should become the main a base for the training of our military, so in any case everything here will be according to plan, i think even faster, but what about me anyway the main intrigue is the list of weapons, because no foreign material so far... mentions with which weapons the f16 fighters will be transferred to ukraine. i hope that this list will be sufficient to carry out missions for air defense and to support our forces conducting combat operations on land. and now our air force is carrying out strikes against the enemy, using mig-29, su-27, su-24 aircraft. and today from the commander of the air forces there was such, well... extremely interesting information, commander oleschuk thanked the pilots

for the targeted damage to the russian command post, he wrote that he was grateful for the successful work, the general did not provide any other details, but it is said that there was information, there is even a video, that this control post was located on a barge, this the barge stood somewhere for a millennium, but now we see just this video, combat work was carried out in... on march 11 in the kherson region, but what is interesting, hysteria is now spreading in the russian public that general teplinsky was probably at this command post, it is from one on the one hand, the commander of the povito landing forces of the russian federation, and on the other hand, the person who was responsible for the whole group of troops, which is occupying our territory on the left bank of the dnieper in the kherson region, is believed to be general teplin. there is a highly experienced general right there, and if it is really

the case that teplinsky was on this barsha, then it will be, well, in my opinion, a unique situation in order to confirm the capabilities of our intelligence and the capabilities of our means of impression, which capable of carrying out such point strikes on the enemy using aircraft, but in addition to strengthening our air defense through... f-16 fighter jets, we hope to receive an additional number of air defense systems of various types, and here one cannot fail to mention the story that is currently circulating in the canadian mass media that the delivery of the complex ordered by canada nasams for ukraine is delayed. let me remind you that the nasams complex is such a joint development, which is manufactured by a norwegian company. konsberg and the american company rayton, which provides integration

of norwegian equipment and its own missiles to of this complex. in total, we have ordered about 15 such complexes, at least four such complexes are already on combat duty, and canada decided to provide financing for the purchase of another sams air defense system in march on the 23rd. last year it was stated that canada paid $406 million to a manufacturer there, and in fact the difficulty was that it was necessary for ukraine and the united states to... agree to an agreement on the transfer of these anti-missile systems, but today there with reference to canadian defense minister biel blair, it says that he said that in addition to the agreement , the americans must provide some funding to complete the contract with the defense manufacturer, and we are trying

to speed it up, unfortunately, the united states has faced certain ... financial difficulties - blair said. in my opinion, this situation is somewhat strange, because the lightning contract was ordered and signed on the 23rd of the year. this contract has nothing to do with this money for the 24th year, which is so far blocked by political battles in the united states, and i hope that another rammstein, who will take place on march 19, then at this meeting of the ministers of defense, the ukrainian side, the canadian side. and the american side will be able to look at this agreement in detail once again and speed up the delivery of these anti-aircraft missiles to ukraine, given that it has already been manufactured, and we understand that we need these complexes to increase the density of our air defense, especially since now in in turn, osin analysts are trying

to figure out what happened there near donetsk at a distance of 80 km, because everyone is now trying to analyze the video, where it seems it is about the russian rockets hitting several launchers, one or two launchers of the patriot complex that were on the march, so far there is no information that allows us to verify unequivocally that the russian rockets really hit one of the patriot launchers twice , but in any - in any case, we understand that this information now needs to be detailed, one way or another... later we will receive additional information, but in any case , we understand that at the meeting in ramstein we will talk about what we need more air defense complexes, more missiles for the complexes that now bear the main burden in the fight against the russian military for these purposes, well, actually more ammunition, and when we talk, by the way, about ammunition, then we

include the positive news that the president of the czech republic peter pavel said that in the near future ... ammunition that was found by the czech republic in other countries will begin to arrive in weeks, we remember that it is about 800 thousand ammunition, of which 500 thousand are 155 caliber ammunition, the rest are 122 mm caliber, peter pavel does not name the countries where these munitions will be purchased, although the experts there have been... talked about the fact that it could be countries from south korea, to the low countries of africa, including other countries, in particular turkey, and when we talk about that we are talking about 800,000 ammunition, this is actually quite a powerful number, because we understand that there are certain calculations that for the needs of defense, we

need at least 90,000 ammunition there per month for more active actions, including offensive actions on. .. something more is needed 200,000 munitions per month, so that in fact these 800,000 will be extremely appropriate for conducting various aspects of hostilities, and likewise, when we talk about its import of weapons, import of equipment, today the data of the stockholm international institute for the study of peace problems and it is determined that ukraine became the largest european arms importer in the 19th and 23rd years, and is actually the fourth largest arms importer, after the russian large-scale aggression against ukraine began in the 22nd year, in this

the study emphasizes that no less than 30 states put ukraine in the main. weapons as part of military aid, and it is indicative that the share of our country in global arms imports, when we measure all exports and imports, that is, in relation to world imports, ukraine now occupies 5% of world imports compared to 0.1%, as it was before war with the russian federation and the main suppliers of weapons for kyiv, according to sipri, became liaisons. states, germany, poland and other countries, and ukraine received from these three states 66% of the weapons it requested, to deal with in russian aggression , the main demand for imports in europe, by the way , against the background of the war with the russian federation, these are exactly the ammunition we talked about, they are now

needed by all countries, but first of all, all countries talk about what should be supplied in first of all for ukraine, and then for ourselves, although not all countries are clear about it, it is artillery and air defense equipment, now, by the way, the demand for land-based air defense equipment has stopped. radically significant, and this just accelerates projects to the bottom european countries to speed up production of air defense equipment. and in fact, we also have to mention one more piece of news related to the events of this day and this week - this is exactly the situation that is happening in germany, because we remember that for a long time ukraine has been asking germany to supply... taurus rocket, and today it became known that, in particular, the german foreign minister, angelena burbock, supported

the proposal of her british counterpart, david cameron, that it is possible to exchange cruise missiles between britain and germany, ukraine should benefit from this exchange, it is said that if directly germany. under certain circumstances, he will still be afraid to supply tauros cruise missiles to ukraine, then a version is proposed when taurus samples will be sent to britain, and in turn, britain will send an appropriate number of stormshadow missiles to ukraine, we know that stormshadow missiles are already being used by our fighters , from our su-24e. which have enough examples of successful use and destruction russian military goals, and such an exchange of taurus to britain and stormshadow to ukraine

looks quite an interesting decision, but it should be understood that in this sense certain technical issues are even removed, because there are difficulties with the integration of taurus missiles into the same fighters 124m used by ukraine. representatives of the mbda company said that this process would take six months or more there, we know the whole story, which was connected with the russian eavesdropping on the negotiations of the german generals, who determined the technical difficulties of using these tauruses to strike the crimean bridgehead, of the use of intelligence, of provisioning and so on, but i am sure that in reality this whole story will not affect the fact that... germany will substantially delay the supply of tauruses, but the interim stage using the fact that these taurus can be transferred to britain and then the stormshadow missiles to

ukraine, this will only be an interim stage, but the intrigue here is that the question arises from which fighters or bombers or multi-role aircraft , britain will use these tauruses, because there is also the problem of integrating these... aircraft into british models, it still remains an intrigue, but in any case we understand that it is extremely important to insist that the european countries provided further substantial support to ukraine. we know that at the expense of france, on the initiative of france, a coalition of long-range systems was created, which precisely extends to the development and supply of missile weapons to ukraine. we hope that at the meeting, ramstein , who... on march 19, this issue will also be raised, and on the one hand, i think that there will be, on the one hand, some pressure from colleagues on germany, although it still unblocked

the taurus situation, and on the other hand , the question will arise regarding the expansion of the number of missiles that britain, in particular france, can deliver to ukraine. stormshadow and scalpy now remain the most long-range weapons in the arsenal of the ukrainian air force, they are repeated quite effectively. is used but when we if we are talking about taurus, then they still have a certain uniqueness, first of all, it is an increased range, i hope that germany will unlock variations at a certain stage, so that the supply of these missiles is carried out there with a range of up to 500 km, this will significantly affect the tactics of our actions, because so far the enemy has adjusted to the range at which stormshades and scalps fly, increasing the range has... already doubled, well , in fact, well, it will create serious challenges for the russian federation. and now, when we talk about the situation right on the front line, for now, unfortunately, we cannot

reach our guest right now. he is just in the area near avdiyivka, and now we can make such a general assessment of this day, we understand that now two directions are the most difficult, namely novopavlivskyi and avdiivskyi, these are the two areas where 64 combats took place in the past day clash, the enemy is now trying to carry out attacks as much as possible around novomykhaivka, there are many clashes, but in any case there is no enemy advance, but when we talk about avdiivka and the entire line the clash that is going on there, starting from berdychi, orlivka there and further to the south, what is characteristic is that the ukrainian troops carried out a number of counterattacks in this area, and although the situation around the settlement remains difficult in every direction, the enemy has no advance,

there are quite a lot of videos where, in particular, under the same bardichs there and the eagle, the enemy is trying to attack using these chinese buggies, which are destroyed, destroyed either by our mines or impression means, and i hope that now the situation looks like this enough controlled, especially given that over the past few days , the amount of ammunition used by the ukrainian army on the front line has increased, which suggests that supplies or reserves are now being used quite actively. by our armed forces in all areas , well, i hope that just, well, this is a sufficient prerequisite for destroying the enemy along the entire line of confrontation actively enough, which, by the way, is also evidenced by the statistics of the general staff regarding the enemy's losses for each day. these were the main military officers the results of this day, now an air alert has been announced throughout ukraine. we will go down now.

into the basement and i advise you to do the same in order to minimize the risks of russian enemy aggression.

do you still find evidence of crimes in ukraine today? we have been documenting crimes for 10 years, because this war did not start in february 2022, in february 2014, when ukraine got a chance for a quick democratic transition after the fall of an authoritarian regime due to the revolution of dignity, and in order to stop us on this path, entered the game russia. russia uses war crimes... for intimidation, this is a deliberate policy of the russian state. russia is trying to break the people's resistance and occupy the country with a tool that i call the immense pain of the civilian population. so we are documenting this pain, and in our joint database of the putin tribunal, we have documented over 64,000 episodes of war crimes in just these two years of the large-scale invasion. but will

you continue to find them in the future, because last year ukraine was able to win back part of the territory, and now on the front lines of comfort, do you continue to uncover crimes that you may not even have suspected before? yes, because when we talk about this type of crime like sexual assault, it is a very hidden crime and people will dare to speak after a certain time. last weekend, russian drones hit residential buildings in odesa, killing entire families with children. no matter where the front line is, there is no longer a safe place to hide from russian missiles in ukraine. you and other ngos organization you are trying to build.
