the renewed composition of the national security and defense council under the leadership of the newly appointed oleksandr lytvynenko began work. according to president zelenskyi, among the new tasks of the council , increased attention is paid to the sanctions policy and cyber security, as well as the work of the commander-in-chief and control over the implementation of decisions made by it. renbu has all the opportunities to combine the analytical potential of ukrainian intelligence and others.

bodies that function in the field of national security, we need to strengthen ukraine's ability to forecast and influence on the processes on which the national security of our country depends. ukraine returned the tule of the 121st fallen defender. this was reported by the coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war. 12 dead soldiers fought on the luhansk direction, 107 on the donetsk side, and two died in battle on the zaporozhye ottynka. the nearest sometimes medical experts will establish their identity after identification of the body and hand it over to relatives for burial. eternal memory and glory to all those who gave their most precious lives for ukraine. during the morning attack of the force. anti-aircraft

defense forces shot down enemy missiles in the chernivtsi region, the main targets of the occupiers in the region were energy facilities - said the head of the regional military administration, ruslan zaparanyuk. thanks to our armed forces, our anti-aircraft defense, all the missiles were completely shot down, the relevant services are working at the site of the debris fall, taking measures to eliminate it. and as a result of the fall, thanks to god and our armed forces, no civilians were harmed, the details will be reported later. that night the enemy attacked again energy facilities throughout the country. ukrenergo reported damage to heat and hydropower plants in the center and west of the country. dmytro didora will tell more about the state of the energy system. he is with us live.

dmytro, my congratulations, what conclusions did the experts draw after the power system was struck and how quickly will it be possible to restore power? i congratulate anna, i also congratulate our viewers, so experts say that if such attacks had occurred in february, and not now, then the energy system of ukraine would have had more serious, more serious consequences than we have today and now, however,... even these shocks, they can predict that in the summer, in july or august, we may have blackouts on outage schedules, the next heating season could be difficult if generation and generation facilities cannot be restored . we will hear more about the consequences of the strikes that took place in march and the consequences of the strikes on hydroelectric power stations.

we have lost more than 10% of the generation that was available to us as recently as march 20, and this is something that most likely will not be restored quickly, that is, this part will not be restored, i am afraid that even before the next heating season, it will mostly not be possible to restore, or there is a threat of destruction of the dam itself. at least i don't see a threat from the engineers working at ukrhydroenergo, i also hear the assessment that the means of impression that are currently being used are not capable of destroying the dam, well, there is no such thing. an expert of the energy research center noted that the russians have changed the tactics of attacking the ukrainian energy system, now they are directing it...

a large number of missiles at one object, however ukraine now imports electricity from europe in some hours, experts have recorded a peak opportunity. imports to our country, and he noted that the levels of protection that ukraine has built since the last burning season are working, they protect high-voltage networks and some generating capacities of the power system, the second level of protection has shown itself to be very effective, however, the expert emphasized that ukrainians need prepare for power outages, remember what power banks, generators are, and... be ready to the fact that we can return to the blackout schedules, so i have this information as of now, anya. thanks for the work, thanks for the information. spress correspondent dmytro didora about the state of the ukrainian energy system after another attack by muscovites. the security service of ukraine detained two businessmen from

zhytomyr oblast who organized the supply of granite to the russian federation. the organizer of this scheme was declared an international wanted man, he left the country during the war. and managed the process from there. his accomplices bought granite in ukraine and transported it to europe, from there to the aggressor country. for the most part, the material was used to make monuments to the russians who died in the war. all three dealers face up to 12 years in prison. at night and in the morning, he fired at the enemy and infrastructure facilities in prykarpattia, he did it not for the first time, in the last week. what is the situation in the region? let's ask our carpathian colleague ivan haruk. ivan, i congratulate you and tell me and our viewers, have

casualties, the fire was extinguished in three hours. personnel changes in diplomacy, president dismissed the ambassador of ukraine to the republic. marko shevchenko's moldova. the corresponding decree is posted on the website of the president of ukraine. shevchenko has been an ambassador since 2019. before the diplomatic mission in moldova, he was a temporary attorney. in canada, the reasons for his dismissal are unknown. and the collection of the espresso tv channel continues. there is an urgent need to repair a car for the 65th separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, which is destroying the enemy in the southern direction. a faulty car at the front can cost health, or even life. thanks to you, we have already paid some parts and collection continues. get involved. remember that small donations. does not exist, every hryvnia is important , you can see all the details on the screen, the next

ivan, we welcome you to our broadcast: "glory to ukraine". congratulations, congratulations studio, thank you for inviting grs. well, a serious story, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi warned in an interview that the enemy proceeds to large-scale offensive actions. in turn, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, colonel-general sirsky also said that the situation is not simple, although. the main thing was managed to stabilize, but there is a serious disparity in artillery ammunition, yes 6:1, that is , we are entering the spring, summer and possibly autumn campaign, on the other hand, an extremely unpleasant signal came from the enemy, the russian church, so to speak, translates what they called a military operation in the format of a kind of orthodox jihad, so the key goal is this ukraine, and this is what i assumed and said a little earlier, it is possible there... there six months ago and earlier, well, when we talk about the sacralization of the goals and tasks set before

the fascist people. your vision: president zelenskyi, syrskyi and the fascism of russia, preparations for the rise of the country are huge or how is it? well, wait, this is a huge country, everything is not so fast, even the russians themselves, we said to you, these are court political technologists, economists, they say that... not everything is so fast, it is fast it cannot be done, they can swallow approximately 120,000 people for six months, process them so that they go through, well, all of them are analogues of tsk, training, because we would have said with you even earlier that there are no training points in the russian federation now, they were liquidated in 2009 and they were forced, please remember, to use the capabilities of the belarusians, that is, the belarusians provided them with all sorts of things. deployed the russian military, this is about mobilization, plus, what about

mobilization, and there is an economic imbalance, and once again, and these are court economists, they they note, mathematically, it is not a problem to take people, you can grab them on the street, go ahead, but they are very afraid that the economy in the russian federation will collapse precisely because of such an act, they already have big problems there with - with the gas industry, with the oil industry. they are afraid that if they take more people, then some industries will automatically collapse again, they are thinking about this very, very hard now. we have no reason not to trust the president, if he says that some major offensive operation is being prepared, then we should accept it, well accept it, the president says this, we have no reason to distrust him again, although on the other hand, this could be a big, big message to our western friends, with implication or with direct language, please give us more weapons, that's what we expect the czech initiative

that will come, well, the czech shells will arrive earlier than planned, we expect, maybe in april, maybe a little earlier, and they should help us now, yeah, they should, but will these questions be opened, let's talk about the enemy, so you mentioned that they can gather people, but it is not a fact that they will have time to prepare them quickly, but we understand that war is an exhaustion about... both sides, even the side that suffers from aggression, and accordingly, now there are also questions about the mobilization of people, western politicians are increasingly saying that... that ukraine missed an opportunity with fortifications, that we did not provide it in time, and also that we are to some extent not mobilizing people enough, and on the other hand, there was also a statement by syrsky that we are not talking about 500,000 people now, because with of non-combat units, a certain number of soldiers will be transferred to combat units. how do you see us, our preparations for this

great offensive, apart from the fact that we are actually waiting for weapons? well, let's go. approximately , up to 100,000 ukrainian soldiers are on the front lines, these are those who are on the front lines, up to 100,000, we should note this number, we are not talking about 500,000 anymore, most likely the number will be an order of magnitude lower, maybe it will be 350,000 , maybe even a little less, but it's not just mathematics, it's also a matter of economics, to provide these people, they need to be pulled out of the economy, and then, i don't know, business, volunteers provided, or i will remind... once again to your viewers that the ukrainian army is provided precisely with the help of ukraine's internal capabilities. western countries do not help us with this, at least until the last moment. what about fortifications? unfortunately, unfortunately, they really started building in emergency mode, in emergency mode late, literally in separate

directions, even in march of this year. why wasn't it built earlier? well, because he is 22 years old i was inspired that... we managed, or rather , we held back the russians, and we, we drove them away from kyiv, from the kyiv region, oh, not zhytomyr region, sorry, chernihiv region, sumy region, kharkiv region, the city of kherson was liberated, it seemed that 23 -th year, plus there will be tanks, aviation, artillery, cavalry, everything will be here, well, why should we build anything, when literally in six months we will already be on the borders of the 22nd year, well, why is this necessary, well , as it turned out that 23- and the year was, to put it mildly, unsuccessful at this point and they did not prepare for fortifications, only now, and here is another moment, the rdk and the legion of freedom of russia aimed to divert the attention of the russians, to force them to withdraw their reserves there in the kupinsk-lyman direction, in the avdiiv direction, and in this way to gain even a little time, i cannot say in weeks, in months,

so that the personnel could be withdrawn by the troops, i don't know, four brigades, five brigades, 10. brigades of the army had to remove 2,500 personnel, well, that's quite a lot, it's a loud but local story, yes, but they tried to win at least a little time, to build, well, additional ones line of fortifications, because the russians last time , well, like the last time in the 23rd year, it seems that in four and thirty months they built what they built, what our military could not break, unfortunately, ugh, mr. ivan , look, here is the news from zelensky that it is necessary to reformat the work of the council of... national security and defense, in particular, it is necessary to strengthen ukraine's ability to predict and influence the processes on which the national security of our state depends, well, you know that, to be honest , it's me it's a little surprising, because it's already the third year of a full-scale invasion and we , it would seem to me, in the higher offices a long, long time ago had to plan and try to predict the process that could

happen in the future, why are we only talking about it now, well let's say that... the nsdc is, by and large, this place is called a cesspool, that is, people who end their political careers, they go there and there they write something, prepare something, it is not a fact that it is read, that it is are taken into account, but they they are doing something, although in the grand scheme of things , the best of the best should be sitting there, respected, i don't know, employees of the sbu, the military. intelligence services, foreign intelligence services, civilian analysts who must predict something, guess somewhere, perhaps, and inform the top leadership of the state in time, well, here is another question, but does the top leadership of the state take into account these analytical documents prepared by the national security and defense council , because well, let's be honest, there are times when, well, i'm sure that

you have had such moments when, if another point of view does not correlate with yours, then... they simply reject it, say no, but i don't think so, and goodbye, that is, well, maybe here in some places this story also had its place. well, look, that is, five priority areas , yes, and the main point is the strengthening of cooperation with the commander-in-chief, as far as we understand, the nsdc will now be able to receive additional certain advisory powers, maybe somehow this communication between the nsdc will change , and... in general with litvinenko did not meet in the previous time of your work, as far as i know, as far as i heard, he was more engaged in scientific work, such a scientific specialist and... the only thing is that , under his leadership, unfortunately, there were problems with the foreign intelligence service, i have in mind, during the full-scale invasion, when, unfortunately,

the premises of the foreign intelligence service in the kyiv region were partially destroyed and property was partially lost, although the russian federation did not even have time to reach the complex of these buildings, well, they lost, it was so unpleasant an incident in the 22nd year, an unpleasant incident to put it mildly. look, mr. ivan, yes , but the key story is that the foreign intelligence service also got a second wind, lieutenant general oleg ivashchenko, yes, who was the first deputy in charge of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, it is more about strengthening and about, maybe one or the other also additional powers and a second, third or some kind of breath, so from the other side we understand that he was taken away from budanov, i do not know what kind of relationship they had with the head of... the main development department, well, but the generals were separated, so to speak, into different departments, your vision, look, the question is not whether the dock, where he was before, will provide from, not even so, the question

is whether the president will receive him, if the president is interested, we are talking now about volodymyr zelensky or his predecessor or successor, if the president is interested and is interested in the activities of this body, he will, i don't know, listen to him every week, not just, well, i will tell him what he came with. well, of course, well, come next week, well, there will be an opportunity, no, if there are clear tasks, a clear desire to get results, then of course the organization will work, if the activity of the organization is not at all interesting to the president, anyone, then well, it will work, here i see that, in principle, the president interested, he wants to see some concrete result. once again, one should not expect any acts of sabotage from the saints, the foreign intelligence service, well, the destruction of something, at least according to the law, this is not prescribed. maybe it will be, but the legislation is not it is written, they are expected to have a greater political understanding of what is happening in countries that are of interest to ukraine, to convince the leadership of these countries to work with ukraine,

or simply, well, that is simple, and part of the job is to spy, it is to track information, to be the first to receive information, analyze it and pass it on to the president so that he can make the necessary decision in a timely and correct manner for the sake of the security of ukraine. mr. ivan, look, let's finally have time to discuss the shelling with you, this night we had a large-scale air alarm again, the enemy launched almost a hundred air strikes, in particular, daggers were flying towards the lviv region, and we see a certain revival of the enemy that he is attacking our critical infrastructure, this is energy, actually objects, is this really being done in order to completely stop the work of our defense , let's say, enterprises that... as we understand, it depends on the possibility to receive electricity and actually work in order to provide for our army, well , they did not hide after the first

shelling that this was revenge, an act of revenge, an act vazmizdiya for what, for the raids of the rdk, plus the partially destroyed damage to the facilities of the oil refining industry of the russian federation, it is without exaggeration for them, it is very painful, very much it is hundreds of millions of dollars, which even if you allocate not... the fact that you are restoring these enterprises , and like the wrestlers, we gave them a painful reception, now they also go out to get rich, that they started energy terror, even when they had no reason for it, yes, yes, then they tried precisely in the winter period, then in the 23-24 season was abandoned because didn't work very well, now they're back at it again to force us to abandon our attacks on russian energy infrastructure, well actually i have a feeling... that a powerful spring-summer offensive is just beginning, and that's part of what is called the algorithm of actions of our enemy, that is, they, you know

, did not shoot there for a week, then stopped while we began to repair, rather, we are entering the phase of the spring-summer campaign, very tough, very large-scale, the president warned about this volodymyr zelenskyi of ukraine in his interview, after all, what we started our conversation with, that is, the situation is more serious than it seems, and the shelling. this is only an element of the enemy’s offensive actions, you want to be wrong, of course, well, but your vision, mr. ivan , yes, it can really be invested in everything, except for simple emotional revenge, to show our residents that we still destroyed the ukrainians, by the way, they were very proud of the fact that we hit a large number of energy infrastructure objects, the ukrainians whine, well, this whole story, they are very i like it, and it partially covers the internal problems of the russian federation, including crocus, crocus-pocus, this shopping center. where this terrorist act took place, ukrainian events are very apt for the russians to work on this topic, well, indeed, offensive operations, if they

are preparing to that extent in that... headquarters, then really it can be just a part, an element, and in kharkiv oblast they are attacking , but they are trying to destroy the infrastructure of lviv , ivano-frankivsk, zakarpattia, and so on. thank you, mr. ivan, ivan stupak, a military expert, sbu employee from 2004 to 15 was in direct contact with us. now we will go on a short break, after it we will add the bakhmut channel to our broadcast, we will find out what is happening there now, we understand that time is one of the key points. for the russian occupiers, so we will find out what is happening there, we will be back in a matter of minutes. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the saw stron unpack tv is just for you. with it you can easily cut trees and bushes. her yes it is convenient to use for carpentry work, it is an ideal tool for your home or garden, and the price is only from 1499 hryvnias
