, drones also attacked the kuybashiv plant. western intelligence has for the first time confirmed russia's transfer of tactical nuclear weapons to belarus. this is reported by foreign media. the lithuanian defense minister was the first to inform nato of this information. he said the alliance would retaliate if russia used a nuclear weapon weapons let me remind you that recently the russian dictator volodymyr. putin said that moscow is ready for nuclear war. and before the operational events in ukraine, a 76-year-old woman died as a result of shelling in the pologiv district of zaporizhzhia. this was announced by the head of the region, ivan fedorov. the russians made 253 strikes on 11 cities and villages of the region. 16 residential buildings and infrastructure objects were destroyed.

they arrived at the place to provide help, the enemy again aimed at it with an iskander m missile, which was fired from the occupied crimea, the air defense was working, but the ballistics are going astray. very difficult, you all know that this is a weapon that is extremely difficult to damage. ballistics is a very insidious weapon, it works very quickly. the entire attack took less than 20 minutes. among the dead were local residents, rescuer and paramedic of the ambulance. we are all one family of the state emergency service, we take it very, very painfully, but when today before our eyes, we saw both the dead and the wounded, one was taken away in a very serious condition. the south does not

rule out that the enemy planned this ballistic strike in advance. over the past week, for example, at least four missile strikes were carried out on odesa, not including this one, with the use of tactical aviation, the release of missiles of various types, guided air missiles, which the enemy directed, including in direction of the coast in order to scout and check the readiness of air defense systems. as a result of the shelling, more than half a thousand residents were left without electricity, and another 800 without gas. utility workers restore communications. march 16 was declared a day of mourning in the city. from odessa for the espresso tv channel. two people were injured as a result of the drone attack on the village of okhrimivka in the kharkiv region. the victims were men aged 35 and 48,

of the territorial defense forces. these soldiers defend the country in the zaporozhye direction so that they do not risked their lives and did not go on an assault on minefields, drones are needed. and we can help. our goal is 500 00 uah, with your help we have already collected more than 227 uah. remember, each of your donations is important, so join the collection. you can see all the details on the screen. 4 tons of russian auto parts were tried to be illegally imported into ukraine, the state border service of ukraine reported. at the border with poland, customs officers stopped three trucks for inspection. the drivers assured that they were transporting chinese spare parts and metal products, however, after an additional inspection, the border guards discovered 900 pieces of automobile spare parts marked with refia. the goods were confiscated, the value will be assessed additionally. the businessman,

who has family ties to the ex-president of russia, continues to work in ukraine. the owner of the gulliver shopping and office center, a chain of household appliances stores. and a number of other businesses, viktor polishchuk owes uah 14 billion to two state banks, but he was not submitted for compulsory collection and was not fined, - the journalists of the scheme project found out. polishchuk, whose wife is a relative of dmitry medvedev, freely travels abroad through the shlyach system, as a volunteer, and brings commercial goods, not humanitarian aid, - the journalists claim. also, his chain of stores seems to have misled customers. having given a part of the profits to be transferred to the armed forces of ukraine, but did not do so. we will summarize the morning at 12 o'clock, read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, like, my colleagues will continue, don't

switch, stay with the espresso team. congratulations, this is a joint project of the espresso tv channel and the atp tv channel. together, beraber, we talk about the currently occupied crimea and the events that affect our ukrainian peninsula. khrystyna yatskiv and ayder muzhdabaev, with you as always. salam aleikum. khrystyna khanim. salam aleikum to everyone. alaykum salaam. and we will probably start with the anniversary, it is the 10th anniversary of the pseudo-referendum in crimea, the referendum that took place under the muzzles of russian machine guns. with a huge number of violations, which had absolutely nothing to do with the expression of will or plebiscite,

whatever, but definitely, a huge number of people who believed that they supported the russian federation, after all, still came to vote, how many people actually protested against this referendum in general, how many of those who came to him? in general, from the russian federation have nothing to do with crimea, it seems to me that we will have to investigate this issue, but let's start with a pleasant aider, well , the pleasant thing is that i want to thank you all, our dear viewers, for what we closed a big collection together with you for uah 1.5 million for fpv drones with television cameras that can work against the enemy in our southern region. direction at night, it was a plan

to collect 50 such drones, and they collected one more, i thank you all very much on behalf of the commander of the 48th separate assault battalion named after novan chelbijahan, lyunur islyamov, major of the armed forces, and on behalf of all the fighters and the officers of this unit, which is now, just now, in combat, and so we can't take any... pauses, and we 'll continue to collect, now a new one is being announced collection, and the fighters themselves will tell you about it. we, the soldiers of the 48th separate assault battalion, are asking for your help for the communications center, namely the battery for the radio stations, which are lacking in sufficient quantity, as well as the battery for the fpv drones, the feeder for the antennas. as well as repair kits, the amount of repair kits for svizkov residents for emergency repair. thank you for

your help, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. we thank our defenders, we thank those who are advancing and doing everything possible to bring closer the appearance of the ukrainian military in the crimea. this is extremely important, without help, without the financial support of the entire society, we cannot do here. this is what you will see during the program - qr codes, the card number of this collection, these are very important things, without them it is impossible to fight, and we have to do this to the people who are just now protecting us here and in our peaceful, conditionally peaceful, but still yes , peaceful cities, and we used to argue about it in this way only in this way, how to return crimea, only by military means, no more, and we will do it together, thank you to you, and the defense forces are already... already carrying out considerable preparatory and basic work on the liberation of crimea, because what else can you call the

processes that are taking place around the so-called black sea fleet of the russian federation , so-called because according to the calculations of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine managed to destroy or damage, so that it is not possible to use already, about a third of the 80 ships of the black sea fleet, all the others are sitting quietly in the corners and, in fact , have not even entered the water area for quite a long time in order to... in order to demonstrate some of their capabilities there, and certainly one of the main news, i would say, that is exactly the news that outlines the trend of the last week, is that the russians are no longer just relocating ships to novorossiysk or abkhazia , but also repair capacities, possibly gas lubrication capacities, which are generally related to the maintenance of this so-called fleet, i will quote nato secretary general jens stoltenberg here, one of the... great victories achieved by ukraine is that it was able to push back the russian black sea fleets, destroy many

their ships, and to ensure an open corridor from odessa and west to the bosphorus, working closely with nato allies romania, bulgaria and turkey. the head of nato says that the successful naval operation testifies to the competence of the ukrainian armed forces and the weapons transferred by the members of the alliance. we are adding volodymyr zablotskyi, a military man, to our broadcast. defense express marine expert and retired captain first rank. mr. volodymyr, we congratulate you, thank you for volunteering to join eter. thank you for the invitation, glory to ukraine. well, that's it here is the emerging trend of removing even the rem bases, can we say that this is the main evidence that the russian federation does not consider the crimean peninsula as a full-fledged and permanent base point for its so-called black sea fleet. well, we can agree with you if

you add to that the other factors that we have seen. earlier, namely the rebasing of the black sea fleet, the black sea flotilla, let’s say this, because it is no longer a fleet, to the ports of the caucasus, in particular to the novorossian and to occupied abkhazia, eh, well, that’s right, on the other hand, it can be considered, if we look at the pessimistic scenario, as the military does, it’s possible that it’s just such a means, well, self-preservation, or... the fleet in order to be effective, functioning , efficient, let's say, to perform some tasks assigned to it, it has to be repaired from time to time, it is still a technique, and the technique requires spare parts, ammunition, lubricants and so on, so they do it only in sevastopol, because there is nowhere else, and therefore it is insured in case

that you will have to endure such a situation for a long time . which was created by the defense forces of ukraine in sevastopol in the same, and therefore they are redeploying their capacities, well, not yet capacities, let's say so, but the material reserves of the technical management of the fleet, because it is responsible for repairs, it monitors schedules, when to repair, creates a queue there is docking and so on, and i would also consider it... on the one hand, an optimistic scenario, and a less optimistic one, let's say, on the other. mr. volodymyr, i want to make this remark, whether i right or not, please tell me, in principle, the black sea fleet of the so-called russia, it was in general, well, no, not the strongest, to put it mildly, and not the newest,

that is, there were, in principle, old ships, and i was even a long, long time ago, 15-20 years ago... on this moscow cruiser, it looked like a very old thing then, well, it was more for parades than for war, well, it will never take part in parades now , but for such old ships, repair is generally the most important thing, that is, they need to be repaired, well in fact continuously, one, another, third, there is the next one, and the fact that they have transferred this fleet, they are transferring to russia from crimea, from ours. does this indicate that, de facto , he has become not an advantage for the russian army , but a burden, that is, he must be taken care of, protected, in fact, he is no longer a means of attack, or is he wrong, or does he still remain a threat , that is, he himself is directly the fleet, whether he poses

a threat to us militarily or not, well, you are right, of course, but... he does pose a threat, because he is still the dominant force in in relation to what the naval forces of ukraine have, that is, they have an advantage in numbers, in a numerical and quantitative composition, an advantage in the presence of missile launchers that strike at our industrial centers and residential districts, well, now for some time they do not strike, because there are no calibers or something has happened to them, but... nevertheless, they have such a potential, and this threat cannot be discounted, let's say so. on the other hand, he cannot perform any more, let's say, tasks, because the only one is the latest news of the end february, the only such transport highway

that connected syria and russia, novorossiya. in particular, the so-called syrian express, which the russians used to transport ammunition to both ends, lately mostly s-300 missiles to novorossiysk, which they used and are using now to bombard peaceful quarters of zaporizhzhia, kharkiv region and so on, this highway ceased to exist, so that russian russian ships. which were used for this, began to be forced under the threat of attacks by our unmanned means to head for the baltic the sea, that is, through... the work used to go here, and now we are forced to go much further and much longer, this is such a great

achievement, after our, our breakthrough of the enemy's sea blockade, pushing him out of the northwestern part of the black sea water area, this means that the enemy does not feel free, or is already weakened to the point that he cannot... even accompany these ships, which are very important to him, by the way, and therefore refused to use this route of this route for military transports that are important to him, it also weakens the group of russians in syria, because it was fed mainly from here , now they will be transported from the baltic sea, well, but there is also something, i think, they will not leave it so easily, well, or something... the north will remain from murmansk, they will be transported in a circle by the way, if they have the money, mr. captain, i would like to ask you a question: volodymyr

zelenskyi recently visited turkey, and although certain compromises were not reached with the turkish president on a number of political issues, but with regard to military-industrial cooperation complexes, as far as i'm concerned , are always interesting here with turkish... and now we 're talking about another ada-class corvette of the navy of the armed forces of ukraine, which was named hetman ivan vegovskyi. as i understand it, we are currently working on the future, for which we are building ships that, theoretically , we cannot really use right here and now to our advantage in the war with the russian federation. well, that is, drones are unmanned technologies, everything that really impresses the russian fleet is... everything is cool and it all works, by the way, i don’t understand in general, why should the russians go on the same path now that they are going to impress us with their backs, which they will allegedly

put on the production flow, but that is another matter, why do we need corvettes of a similar class, anyway, well, let's start with the fact that ukraine - this is a country of two seas, the azov sea and the black sea, we have our own interests, we have a maritime economy... an exclusive zone that must be defended, and naval drones and the so-called mosquito fleet are only a partial solution to the issue, it is a matter of defense, but there is still the question of offensive, the question of offensive involves a blockade of the enemy, near his, his coast, the action as part of the alliances or connections of the allied forces, that is, together with the nato ships, to be in the sea, to carry out a lot of time. here are some tasks here, as well as in the mediterranean sea after the end of the war, that is, this is a look at the perspective of the future, no drones, no unmanned systems for this, well, not suitable,

it is clear, because it is a means of weapons, effective, yes, but only a means , they cannot display the flag of ukraine where necessary, they cannot act together as part of its international, let's say, coalition under un agency. or the european union or nato, well , that's clear, but the interests of the same, the same nato, let's say, the united nations organization, the european union, they are not only in the black and azov seas, which are important for us, but also outside the borders, so each country, a member of these, let's say, blocs or international organizations should allocate. certain forces, means for carrying out such tasks, ukraine, by the way, joined the implementation of international, to participate in international operations against pirates,

off the coast of somalia, the hetman frigate sahaidachi, let me remind you, went there in december of the 13th year and returned to odessa already after the crimea was captured in march, er... of the 14th year, well, accordingly, this is such an expensive pleasure, the fleet is such , well, it's an expensive thing, but it's necessary and you have to invest money in it, ukraine is preparing such opportunities in advance. i will remind you that there is also a ship coalition, which primarily involves the transfer of minesweepers to us, these are two ships of the british sandown type. who manufactures and two more ships from the european union, that's the netherlands and belgium, well, it's a little later, they

will participate. demining, because it is an urgent need for the black sea to free and secure the ways and approach fairways near our ports, and this, let's say, is work for years, not in vain, nato countries, black sea countries , turkey, bulgaria and romania, have created such an anti-mine coalition, which has been working for a month, and which we should have joined, but unfortunately, so far... we do not have the opportunity, our ships, which we have already received, which are in great britain, chernihiv and cherkasy, which already raised ukrainian flags, but until the end of hostilities between russia and ukraine, they cannot pass the bosphorus strait, that's what is written in the montrio convention. this is how this question looks like. mr. volodymyr, maybe it will look a little strange now, but

i put it. the following question: in principle, this war, it changes everything, it changes tactics, strategy, drones appeared there, as such an important part of the war, so what, and of course, we see that the fleet will also change, and now ukraine is actually building fleet of the future actually from scratch, well, yes, let's go, well, almost so, so it is, for sure, you tell me if i have no idea. but it looks like this to me , and in the future, when crimea returns to ukraine, there should be a ukrainian black sea and azov fleet of the future, which ships should be there, should there be aircraft carriers, should there be other types there, i don’t know, you it is more obvious that the ships that will have the opportunity to go there through the bosphorus and participate in some public actions there

with nato, etc., that is, if you look at it like this... 10-20 ahead, what do you see? if we talk about the future, the fleet development strategy has been approved, so far there are no changes in it, i don't see it, that is, we are in the first stage, we are going through the defense of our own coasts, that is , countering the enemy, and we are successfully completing this task. the next thing will be the ability to operate in the black sea in full, that is , the presence of such platforms that will allow us to operate, not just to strike with drones, but also to operate as part of an international coalition that can perform other tasks, not only a war with russia, here there may be other peacekeeping operations and

so on. after all, if we assume that russia will disintegrate someday, this will probably happen, then we cannot rule out issues of peacekeeping operations in the same caucasus, well, this is a well-known thing in such situations, then the third stage - these are already operating outside the borders of the black the sea that we already talked about, as an example we can look at... uh, here's an interesting fact: after finland and sweden became nato members, the baltic sea became a nato sea, relatively speaking, yes, but for some reason, the poles laid down in january they started to build frigates, a frigate for the baltic sea is nonsense, then everything there is fired even closer than in the black sea, but they are building frigates,

they laid down the first frigate, they named it viher. with a pump there, well, a modern ship, in general, they want to build three, they spent a lot of money on modernizing their shipyard in gdańsk, gdynia, sorry, and it would seem , well, why frigates in the baltic sea, they are there, and by the way, the polish the opposition here says, so what, how is this, this is a waste, a nothing like that, polish. frigates operate within the borders of the nato combined naval forces, in the mediterranean sea, in the indian ocean, by the way, in the persian gulf, and it is known in the atlantic, and only ships that can stay in a remote area for a long time should operate there, er, that is, to have the corresponding qualities of cloud-like, so it's stormy weather and so on, it's the drones of it.
