these events took place in russia, it was said by the spokesman of gur that it is about citizens of the russian federation, and these structures on the territory of russia act autonomously and independently, fulfilling their social and political tasks, after all, they are at home, and this is not the first operation of these units on the territory of the russian federation, and now we can only talk about joint special operations of these adjacent units, this is how the head office commented on this story. intelligence, so in any case, this time with the election in russia, things are not so uniform, i'm sure that this week the units of the russian freedom legion, the russian volunteer corps and the new structure , the siberian battalion, will continue their attacks on the enemy, and this will be quite such a resonant demonstration that there are really oppositional movements to the putin regime that are ready to fight for themselves with weapons in hand better future if, and this will be precisely against the background

of the elections of this main russian criminal, and also russian ones, the story has a continuation, connected with the fact that today ukrainian drones attacked a number of critical infrastructure objects in russia as early as 10 regions, it was indeed the biggest attack in recent months, but the most effective was the attack on one of the most powerful oil refineries in russia. lukoil, this plant is located near nizhny novgorod, the distance from the border of ukraine is about 800 km, and the most important element of the plant was destroyed by ukrainian drones, these are oil processing installations, which are actually key in these technological processes, and as reported in russia, the plant has now stopped working and the enterprise processed 15 million tons per year

of oil, which is more than 5% of the total volume of russian refining, these are very high indicators. and in addition, other objects in russia were attacked that night, in particular , an oil depot was hit there under the eagle, and as before, this is a continuation of this stable concept, the destruction of russian critical infrastructure, and we see that we already have drones much more and they are able to do more. complex operations on the territory of russia, which actually indicates a certain progress in the creation, production and use of long-range ukrainian drones developments. well, i would also like to add that in russia itself , near ivanovo , an il-76 military transport plane crashed, the engine of which caught fire, there were up to 15 people on board this transport plane, and at the moment, in addition to this

disaster, the information is still being checked about the downing of a russian military aircraft su-27 over the donetsk region, this was said by the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine andriy yusov, so we are waiting for the continuation of such good news, so this was the day for of our enemies, which is actually still ongoing, well, we will now talk about... about other components related to vico, but already about our realities, because in fact at the beginning we talked about enemies, and now we have to talk about our reserves, about our things and , first of all, about what concerns mobilization, because mobilization itself is not only an increase in the number of personnel, there is an increase in the number of attack aircraft, but it is actually the optimal use of existing resources, their redistribution. need, well, and

achieving better results, and first of all most likely in an asymmetric way, because it is absolutely illogical and inappropriate to compete with russia linearly, either in the number of soldiers or tanks, and now we are joined by pavlo kishkar, he is a major of the armed forces, chief of staff, deputy commander of a battalion of the armed forces of ukraine, a people's deputy of the eighth convocation, mr. pavle, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear, i congratulate you, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you. we communicate with you quite regularly, and we currently have such a main topic, which is precisely the increase in the use of the armed forces, the defense forces at the expense of the search for internal reserves, and here you have a number of directions where it can be found strengthening our armed forces of military formations, but before that i would like to ask about such a thing, i literally last week had. one conversation, a long

conversation with a high-ranking military leader, and i asked him about the fact that now many scientific structures, military on... their structures exist in ukraine in the armed forces, but at the same time we do not see such recommendations, regular recommendations for how to improve the situation on the battlefield and would like to ask your opinion about the military, scientific institutions, isn't it time for these structures to be closer to the battlefield, isn't it necessary to introduce some changes in their existence so that they are such a scientific support, a support for our military leaders, because when we even talk about new military forces. about unmanned systems, we know that now it is necessary to develop the concept of application, to support the new manager with new developments, even theoretical developments, but i know that so far it is the same, well , it seems that our scientists do not have enough hands, what do you think about this ? thank you sir

serhiy for the question, in fact there is a whole series of scientific tools in the structure of security and defense and defense now, but unfortunately, like all the armed forces, as well as our scientific units, live in peacetime, nothing in their work has changed, fundamentally, it has in mind, and i am of my opinion, stress, this is such a stressful situation for the country and for the armed forces, for the people, like a war, it should shorten processes and reduce. everything to the responsibility tere signature tere again responsibility, it is desirable that this responsibility serves the effective the use of troops, forces and means in order to destroy the enemy. unfortunately, our

leading university did not become a point, i think that everyone who is involved in training, whether it is operational-tactical level or strategic level. level will agree that these are relative studies, moreover, some of the things that sound from inside the university look like it is much more important for us to show some renovated rooms or toilets than to show the result of the work of these or other scientific units, so it is not really a support now neither glavkom, nor those... holes of the upper middle echelon, who should use and use these tools in the life of the armed forces of ukraine. unfortunately, i say once again, there is no west point, there are no drastic changes, we live as we did during peacetime. well, almost

, well, it was important for me to hear your opinion, because we can see here that we agree with you in the assessment of this situation, and another component is territorial defense. we formed 20-25 brigades, if i am not mistaken, of territorial defense, during the use of hostilities, they began split into battalions, they are now fighting in battalions at the junctions of combat brigades, they are not in the best condition , they have to perform the same combat tasks, and the question arises whether it is not necessary to reload this concept of territorial defense and find some more... . the right solutions so that there is not only a name, but an effective territorial defense, and if there is no territorial defense, let us drive them away with ground troops, how will we form normal brigades and have at least a normal management system, what do you think of about this? well, you've already said everything,

in fact, now the terror defense units are such a mobilization reserve for the ground forces, it's not a secret for anyone that there are often a lot of them. whole units are transferred to the combat brigades, therefore , in my opinion, the structure of territorial defense should, according to philosophy, include, especially now the beginnings of conscription training, starting from the senior grades of the school, professional and technical education, which should be given after all to robotics. systems , unmanned aerial systems and all people, who are studying in the prophet education should come out with appropriate qualifications, be it a drone operator, be it a gunner, be it a person who knows how to use a robotic

system, this is apart from the fact that it would be interesting for young people, this would practically increase our mobilization base and... the main units of territorial defense can be, they can, i don't know the mathematics to the end, because it's all about money, can be formed on the basis of territorial communities. i say once again, not according to the regional principle, it doesn't work, we already do checked, it should be the territorial defense of a specific territorial community, then financial resources, and people, and responsibility coincide in one, and now there is no responsibility, accordingly, no one is engaged in this, moreover, structural units, like the same 72nd center in the structure. was intended as a duty to identify combatants who were on the front line and problems within the units, including

reporting to tansyuri at the time, the commander of the territorial defense forces, did this, after they expressed these shortcomings, er the people who headed this center, who were tangential to what they were saying... the truth about the situation in the units, they were simply fired, reduced, reduced in their positions or transferred to other units, so i think that the change in command of the forces themselves of territorial defense structures these things, and the second philosophy is to have the development of ground defense in order to do something, to have some vision of how this ground defense will fit even after the end of the war into the general structure of... security and defense forces of the country. and mr. pavle, after ours in the last conversation, you said that

the right people should be in the right positions, i will then, it seems like a simple phrase, but when in the context of the fact that now general syrskyi has carte blanche from zelenskyi to change brigade commanders. and then the question arises, is there any system for changing brigade commanders or finding the right people in the right places, what... some independent evaluation system or some indicators that are decisive, more decisive than loyalty to one or another boss, or is it possible to create such a system of advancement along the career ladder in the ukrainian army? this is a very difficult question, first of all, i never thought so, i think that now syrsky will not have the opportunity to make some kind of system. assessment, he will bet on those people he knows, in whom he is confident, and who, according to his

conviction, can give results and save people, and perform combat tasks, so of course you need to think about it, you need to develop such systems, but will it be to work already now, well, as it seems to me hardly, i have many examples. legal restrictions on opportunities, for example, the promotion of certain people, be it sergeant or officer, moreover, there are restrictions and in fact the impossibility of dismissing people who abuse alcoholic beverages or narcotics, good thing, well, i was lucky that in in my units, these were units of people, but these are problems... such global impossibility to fire, even, well, according to the law, it

means if you cannot fire him, and accordingly, in the regular schedule, you are busy, you cannot accept anyone, attract anyone to your units, and such problems, we return to mobilization again, we call people to the soviet army until this army is volunteer, until mobilization is replaced by... recruiting, until we understand that our values, which are based on freedom, do not allow us to be specifically mobilized, that training, knowledge, military skills are much more important than the fulfillment of tsk and other personnel centers of their tasks. i have a tactical problem today, there are engineering, if... blank spaces, you find people , they are sent with an engineering education, with a higher

engineering education, people who know how not only to use a soldering iron, but also to write and supplement and expand programs, and to form networks according to various structures, with various tools, but instead, the tsk and personnel centers , including those of the ground forces, decide where... these engineers go, we, as middle -ranking commanders, are ready to take on this, and actually, she, and the responsibility remains on us, for the fulfillment of the combat task , but for some reason... when i want to attract a strong person to my unit, then between me and the person there are two more structures that are not responsible for anything, well, that cannot be, well, if i have responsibility, if i can convince these engineers to come to me and help to carry out this combat task, so let me take them to myself, why

do i need the tsk and these and personnel centers, and the language... is not about any general positions, it is about ordinary working hands, feet and heads, thank you very much for the inclusion, i think we will be back again and again to return to these topics, because they are extremely important for the ukrainian army to become really, let's say, not a copy of the soviet one, but a powerful digital, new army that can stand up to the enemy's army, which is larger in number, and so we must absolutely seek other effective foundations for our army to be more effective. these were the main military results of this day, and then more international and economic news, then on vasyl zimi's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to serhiy zgurts,

thanks to his guest, those were the military summaries of the day. good evening, we are from ukraine! about the state of affairs in the country is the name of the traditional speech with which the us president addresses congress every year, but for the third year in a row, joseph biden begins it with the war that... russia unleashed against ukraine. this year, the american leader directly compared putin with hitler, and himself with president roosevelt, who more than 80 years ago managed to convince congressmen not to stand aside from the second world war and help the anti-hitler coalition. so biden called on congress again to immediately approve a package of aid to ukraine in

the amount of more than 60 billion dollars. if anyone in this room thinks that putin will stop at ukraine, i assure you, he will not. but ukraine can stop putin if we give it the weapons it needs to defend itself. my message to president putin, whom i have known for a long time, is simple, we will not back down, we will not bend, i will not bend. members of both houses of congress listened to the speech, including speaker of the house of representatives mike johnson. when the us president talked about the danger of putin's russia for the west of the world, johnson nodded his head and even applauded. but, as the american press notes, he did it uncertainly and hesitantly. it is johnson who is currently blocking the adoption of

the aid package for ukraine. few people doubt if the project is brought to the hall. to the vote, he will get the necessary number of votes, but the speaker does not do this, he, a long-time admirer of donald trump, is elected to the position with his support and listens to him on all issues. trump's position is known. he complains that the us spends too much money helping others countries, and promises to end the war in ukraine within 24 hours after winning the elections. at the same time, it will be opened. putin, who is often called a smart guy. we give billions of dollars in aid to other countries, while not protecting our own border and our military personnel. if i were the president, putin would never have attacked ukraine, because i told him: don't do it. europe pays too little, it should give more money,

because this war affects it much more than us. even more anxiety. calls a meeting trump with hungarian prime minister viktor orbán, whom the former us president received at his estate in florida on march 8. according to media reports, the main topic of conversation was ways to end the war in europe, and orbán's so-called recipes are known: leave the occupied territories to putin, refuse ukraine to join the eu and nato, and start restoring economic and political ties with russia. do we like it or not, do ukrainians like it or not? ukraine is on the world map where it is. the best prospect for her would be to she became a buffer. zone between russia and the west, of course, with security guarantees. if this fails, ukraine will lose its territory. the russians will destroy ukraine

again and again and again. russia will never accept on its doorstep such a member of the eu and nato as ukraine, never. many members of the republican party consider such a proposal a sign of weakness. however, very few will dare publicly to... express it if she is supported by donald trump. the so-called super tuesday took place in the usa this week. internal party elections of candidates in presidents in 16 states and one territory at once. trump won almost everywhere. his only opponent, nikki haley, who advocated further aid to ukraine, announced her withdrawal from the race. this means that the political rematch between trump and biden in 2024 is over. is definitely becoming a reality, and according to the latest polls, the presumptive republican candidate is ahead of the incumbent president, his influence on the party is growing every day, in fact, the

ukraine aid project can be killed by one single trump post on social networks. while from a direct appeal fail the aid package to ukraine, the ex-president refrains. some even believe that if trump wins, on the contrary, he can significantly increase support for ukraine. for example, such a scenario is described by ex-prime minister of great britain boris johnson. and trump's first term, which was so feared in ukraine, did not lead to a sharp change in us policy. moreover, unlike the administration of president obama, where biden served as vice president, the white house of trump's time instead of kovdr began supplying the ukrainian army with javelins. but all this is just a guess. it is impossible to predict trump's actions, because he is a politician, not a system. and unpredictable, the risks of this are understood in europe, there they do not rule out that in the event of trump's return to the white house, the us will be able to go so far as

to abandon its obligations to nato. therefore, the so-called old world is trying to strengthen its own defense capabilities and increase support for ukraine. in particular, a number of european countries agreed to pay for the purchase and delivery of 800,000 shells that the czech republic found for ukraine. we appreciate the efforts of the czech government and all countries that made their financial contribution. we are grateful to you, 800 thousand shells is a large number, but very soon it will be exhausted. we cannot decide to sit down and say: we finally did it. if other countries have a proposal similar to the czech one, then we should start collecting money for it right now, today, and help them implement it. however, despite the intensification of europe's efforts. unable to fully replace us military aid, moreover, it lacks a common strategy for the war and a desired scenario for its end. against the background of uncertainty

in the eu and political turbulence in the usa, talks about the so-called peace have intensified again. chinese special envoy li hui visited kyiv, moscow and brussels again this week, as he did a year ago. according to the results of the tour, beijing called for an international conference, which, of course, was held. invite russia. another so-called peacemaker, president of turkey recep tayyip erdogan, became active. at the end of the week, he received president zelensky in istanbul. the visit was not announced in advance. like beijing, ankara offers mediation services and calls ukraine and the west to sit down at the negotiating table with russia. zelensky does not agree with this. we do not see how it can invite people who block, destroy and kill everything. we want to get a result, the result is a just peace and a just one for ukraine, so first the civilized countries of the world will develop a detailed plan and have

a result, only then will they involve representatives of russia, precisely those who are ready for a just peace. meanwhile, ukraine and its western partners are preparing their peace summit in switzerland and do not plan to invite to it the russian federation, but if the usa does not approve the aid package, the situation at the front will become more and more difficult, the pressure of partners on kyiv may increase, and the services of uninvited peacekeepers such as china and turkey will be in demand, because in a world where the usa is ready to voluntarily refuse from global leadership, this place will quickly be filled by other players. there are discounts on motilium 20%. there are 10% discounts on parafast in the pharmacies of plantain bam and oshchat, turn it on well - it's when everything is as you want. and now you

this was announced by the regional governor, according to him , there were no dead or injured, but the technological facilities of the petroleum products plant were stopped, and the drones were allegedly destroyed. in general, according to the version of the russian side, most of the drones were shot down, and now the russian ministry of defense and regional governors all together reported about 70 downed ukrainian drones. we cannot quickly verify this data, but we can show you the consequences of the attack on russian refineries filmed by eyewitnesses.
