according to the security service of ukraine , sabotage raids and the destruction of the crimean strip of the kerch bridge were successful. by the way, in his recent interview, the head of the security service of ukraine, general vasyl malyuk, warned that the existence of the crimean kerch bridge is a purely accidental and temporary reality. and the bridge itself will be destroyed when the russians again try to start using it to overturn the russian arsenal. by the way, as a result of the successful acts of sabotage carried out by the security service of ukraine, the carrying capacity of the crimean bridge fell by dozens times instead of the 46 trains that used to pass through the kerch bridge every day, now it is capable of passing four, at most five. in addition, the maximum carrying capacity of cars moving along the crimean bridge is which, let's face it, is also a huge loss

for the enemy, because he lost the ability to transfer large equipment to crimea. ukraine continues to improve the russian oil refining industry. during two months of regular strikes by ukrainian drones on russian oil refineries, more than ten strategically important enterprises of the enemy in the european part of russia. i will prepare our journalists... the story, let's see. the operation, carried out by the ukrainian defense forces in two months from january 24 to march 25 this year, represents a significant step in the direction of strategic military tactics and economic influence. the destruction of oil refineries and other energy infrastructure facilities can have serious consequences for the russian economy. damage or destruction of such objects may result. sit

to disruptions in the production and supply of oil products, which will affect the economic situation and military capabilities of russia. drones have become a key element in modern military tactics, so despite attempts by russian air defense to resist, our soldiers hit 10 oil refineries, one gas liquefaction and processing plant, and one district power plant. strikes by ukrainian drones have already shown that the tactics of targeted damage to economic objects can have a serious impact on the enemy's strategy and lead to significant losses. so partially or completely derived from in order were the toopsin refinery, nizhgorod, ryazan, novokuibyshiv, syzran, slovyan, il, volgograd, novoshakhtyn, kuibyshiv, usluz, and novocherkassk gres. ukrainian experts estimate direct losses at about 1.5 billion dollars, and the drop in oil industry capacity is more than 70 million tons per year, which is 25% of all the capacities of the russian federation. this led to the fact that gasoline prices in the russian federation fell. up to 50%,

the closure of gasoline exports and a significant reduction in the supply of fuel to the armed forces russian federation on the territory of ukraine. strikes on russian oil refineries are carried out by the lyut drone, which is the ukrainian analogue of the iranian shahed. military experts express this opinion. the lyud unmanned aerial vehicle was developed a year ago in 2023. its financing and serial production began in january 2024. the fury drones have a warhead of 50 kg and show high resistance to all means of russian weapons. they are also able to cover long distances. for example, the kuibyshiv oil refinery was damaged at a distance of more than 900 km from the border with ukraine. but this, if you calculate the range in a straight line. drones , as in... are known to fly along a complex

trajectory, trying to bypass possible damage points. thus, the real range of the ukrainian human drone is much higher than 900 km. it is worth noting that the operations of the security service of ukraine, as well as the ukrainian defense forces in the russian rear, led to the shutdown of dozens of russian refineries. this has already led to a serious shortage. fuel on the russian market, as well as the introduction of a decision by the russian government to ban the export of gasoline abroad. so asymmetrical the strategy of the ukrainian defense forces is already bearing fruit. and few doubt that it should be continued. by the way, the retired american general ben godges, who is known for his very sharp statements and assessments, including regarding the actions of the american authorities. noted

that ukraine must continue to destroy russian refineries, because the gas station country, as the american senator john mccain once called it, cannot... work without fuel. the effectiveness of ukrainian strikes on russian refineries has reached at such a level that the united states allegedly called on kyiv several times to stop such attacks. this was reported by the authoritative publication financial times, citing its own sources. according to british journalists, the reason was the fear that due to the shutdown of russia's oil refining industry, they could. world oil prices to rise. it is noteworthy that this report of the british financial times coincided with the visit to kyiv of the national security adviser of the us president, jake salevan. this forced explanations, both to the official representatives of the white house and office of the president. according to many

experts, oil prices do not affect the actions of the ukrainian military. the damage to the oil market is rather caused by the fall of the economy. china, as well as the actions of putin's allies, such as iran and its numerous terrorist proxies. thus, according to bloomberg, the yemeni houthis are threatening saudi arabia, warning it not to support american strikes on the group. the publication reminds that since 2015, the government of saudi arabia has been leading a military campaign against the houthis with the support of the united states. 20. march 3 in the red sea, the hussites fired missiles at the chinese oil tanker huangpu, which officially belongs to china. the center of command of the armed forces of the united states of america reported on the shelling. it is interesting that just a few days before the attack

on the chinese tanker on march 21, the houthis officially informed the governments of china and russia that they would not attack ships flying their flags. in the red sea and the gulf of aden. and in more detail in our next story. the united states of america called on ukraine to stop attacks on energy infrastructure of russia, fearing that drone strikes on refineries could lead to an increase in world oil prices. on march 26 , state department spokesman matthias miller said that the us position regarding ukrainian attacks on russian territory will not change. our position since the beginning of this war has always been that we do not encourage and do not support strikes by ukraine outside its territory, said a representative of the us state department. mykhailo gonchar, a ukrainian expert on international energy and security relations, believes that such statements are manipulation and strikes

ukrainian drones over russian refineries do not affect crude oil prices on the global market. the price of oil on the global market is affected by a lot of factors, but... the main factor that is affecting now, which, as a matter of fact, has led somewhere, starting from the end of last year and up to now, is the actions of the houthis, the iranian proxies in the red sea, this led to destabilization of the traditional direction of movement of oil tankers carrying crude oil from the persian gulf, the largest global oil. traditional route around the arabian peninsula through the red sea suets the babel-mandeb strait to the european mediterranean market and further there through gibraltar to the north american market, and now

tankers are going around africa, that is, it is a longer route, and accordingly it is more expensive, since the houthis resorted to obstri. commercial ships that were headed by the traditional short route through the red sea, and the second powerful factor, which affects no less than the first, is the inability of the western coalition, strictly speaking, to put an end to the activities of the houthis. the houthis promised china and russian federation not to attack their ships in the red sea and the gulf of aden. where does such loyalty come from, mykhailo gonchar explains. china, on the one hand, is probably trying to kind of, ah, uh, influence tehran to curb the houthis there, but on the other hand, it's also interested in seeing that activity in the red

sea continue, but not led to a sharp increase in the price of oil. hence, here is this, if, such, at first glance, strange statement. on the part of the houthis that they will not fire at the russian and chinese vessel well, now it's clear why they won't be, because actually, both sides ... moscow and beijing asked tehran, and tehran issued the corresponding directive to the houthis on who to shoot and who not to shoot. at the same time, the ukrainian expert is convinced that saudi arabia could tame the houthis, but it failed, in particular due to the indecision of the united states. could saudi arabia influence the houthis? yes, and they have been trying to do it for almost the middle of the last decade. those with the united arab emirates, they tried to end the houthis, well, that's another story

, why they didn't succeed, but not least because the united states pushed all the time for negotiations, so-called peaceful diplomatic settlement there and so on, well, peaceful diplomatic attempts there settle something with them, we see the consequences of such an approach, and the saudis perfectly understand who... the author of this situation, well , the co-author, more precisely, the author of the houthis, but this american indecision in overcoming this problem, it largely led to what we are seeing today, the saudis cannot do more, including for the united states, when they ask them to influence the global oil market there, to increase exports, well... the saudis do not want this, because they do not see reciprocity , for the united states to take a stronger

stance on the side of saudi arabia in accordance with those principles of strategic partnership. another piece of news, so to speak, on the verge of oil trade and international crime. on march 7, moscow began direct oil deliveries to north korea. exchange for oil, moscow will receive weapons from pyongyang. according to satellite images provided by the financial times, a british think tank, the royal united services institute. this month, at least five north korean tankers left for oil products from the port of skhidny in the far east of the russian federation. these deliveries are the first documented direct. sea ​​supplies from the territory of russia since the time when the un security council, with the consent of the same moscow,

established strict restrictions on the transportation of oil to north korea in 2017 in a response to pyongyang's nuclear tests. meanwhile, russia has major internal problems. on march 22, in the largest concert hall of russia, crocus city hall, which took place in the suburbs of moscow. of course, ukraine, the united states and great britain are blamed for russia, but gur rejects any involvement in the country, and the united states, which warned about the threat of a terrorist attack a few weeks ago, directly emphasizes ukraine's non-involvement. instead, the person responsible for the terrorist attack took responsibility. however, for the kremlin, this does not seem to matter at all. president ukraine's volodymyr zelenskyi, commenting on the statements of the russian leaders, that ... before the shooting in the suburbs of moscow, called putin a renegade who is simply trying to shift

the blame to someone else. about what happened in crocus city hall, further in our story. in russia , a terrorist attack took place in the kroku city hall concert hall before the concert of the band picnic. a group of armed people broke into the hall and opened fire on people. a big fire started in the room. as of... march, the number of people killed as a result of the terrorist attack is 140. he died in the hospital one injured. this was reported by the head of the russian mos, mykhailo morashko, to the russian media meduza. he also said that four more patients remain in an extremely serious condition. 19, including three children in critical condition. 34 victims are in a state of moderate severity, another 23 are being prepared for release. according to cnn , kurukus claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in the concert hall . the islamic state terrorist group, also known as isis. most of the attackers were detained and now their fate in the russian federation

is being decided by the court. immediately after the terrorist attack already on the next day, kremlin propaganda decided to blame the whole of ukraine. while putin did not comment on the situation, deputy chairman of the security council of the russian federation dmitry medvedev said the following. if it is established that they are terrorists of the kyiv regime, it is impossible to deal with them and their ideological inspirers otherwise. all of them must be found. desirably destroyed as terrorists, including officials of the state that committed this crime: death for death. later, putin also spoke. he called the terrorist attack an act of intimidation and said. that terrorists after attackers tried to flee to ukraine, writes the derzka of the week. we know who carried out the attack and we are interested in knowing who ordered the attack. this crime can only be a link in the chain of attempts by those who have been fighting with our country since 2014 at the hands of the kyiv regime , he said. at the same time, the media reports that the kremlin dictator was warned in the us about

the threat of a terrorist attack in russia, but in response he only accused the west of trying to destabilize it. the situation in the russian federation. i will remind you about the recent, frankly, provocative statements a number of official western structures about the possibility of terrorist attacks in russia. all this resembles frank blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society, putin said. the ukrainian side also stated that russia knew about the preparations for the terrorist attack. head gurbodanov stated that russia knew for sure that at least since february 15. they knew where the battle groups would come from. the kremlin already has three. changed versions of what happened in crocus, trying to at least somehow implicate ukraine in the terrorist attack. bortnikov accused me personally, but this is not a sentinel. i do not approve of acts of terrorism against people, budanov said. also, in his opinion, the kremlin allowed a terrorist attack because they wanted to remove several high-ranking officials. why did they

allow this to happen? there are several options: the first is, as is their custom, a battle of towers to remove now. several high-ranking officials, another option, they actually underestimated the scale of what would happen, thought it would be more local and wanted to blame ukraine for it, he said. as reported by the american agency bloomberg, with reference to its own sources, in the closest circle of the dictator putin, almost no one believes in the version with a ukrainian trace. despite... an obvious attempt to exert force on the globe and accuse ukraine of involvement in this terrorist act. the closest entourage of the dictator does not agree with similar assessments. however, the task that putin set for the russian security forces is obvious: to find and invent any evidence

that will point to the so-called ukrainian trail. about the involvement of ukraine in... the terrorist act in the crocus hall already said the head of the federal security service oleksandr bortnikov, as well as the secretary of the security council of russia, nikolai patrushev. however, this version was very quickly and fleetingly destroyed by the belarusian dictator alexander lukashenko, and he did it in his characteristic, somewhat demented style. potato is walking, commenting. version that the suspect in carrying out this terrorist act allegedly fled to the border with ukraine, instead stated that these same terrorists were waiting at the border with belarus. that is why, lukashenko said, the belarusian security forces were forced to to strengthen security measures, and already when they received information that

the suspect of committing a terrorist act would not be able to slip through the belarusian border, they allegedly changed the route and... decided to head to the border with ukraine, it remains unclear which window he meant dictator putin, because, as you know, the continuous border between ukraine and russia is a zone of hostilities, so it would be absolutely impossible to cross the russian border very quickly and without problems without going through the procedure, unless the russian border guards should take them under the visor and escort... these terrorists to ukraine, however, this whole version definitely doesn't hold up. by the way, there is another important aspect in the terrorist attack, which was carried out by militants of the islamic state. it must be taken into account that for the militants and the cause, the same taliban, the official authorities of afghanistan are their

staunch enemies. after all, from the point of view of islamic militants and affairs, the taliban are apostates. started cooperation with the governments of russia, as well as other governments of the world. the taliban thus betrayed the cause of the prophet's struggle muhammad is with the infidels and must be punished for it. the same can be said about the yemeni houthis, who verbally promised the safety of russian and chinese tankers, and assured them that they would not surrender ships flying the flags of the russian federation and the people's republic of china. shelling, but literally a few days passed when this promise was broken. this explains that in today's world, any guarantees that are given to terrorist groups. or rebel groups are not worth a penny. russia has increased shelling of ukrainian critical infrastructure. on march 22, the russian

occupation army attacked the largest hydroelectric power plant in ukraine, dniproges in zaporizhzhia. one person died as a result of the shelling. oil products also got into the dnipro. in addition, on march 25, two missiles were launched at the capital of ukraine: probably zircon. it is still unclear from which platform the launches are made. the syrkon missile itself was created to be launched from ships and submarines. among its carriers are the missile frigate admiral gorshkov and nuclear submarine k560 severrodvinsk project 885 yasen. both are based on the northern fleet of the russian federation. therefore, according to experts, defense express was obviously used to launch zircon in the direction of kyiv. adapted complex bastion, it is a mine underground complex of coastal defense in crimea, located not far from balaklava. russian hypersonic zircon missiles pose

a particular danger to the civilian population. if the threat of launching the x-47 kinzhal is known in advance through the mig-31k aircraft carrier, then the defense forces may not have such information about the zircon. these missiles can be fixed only during startups. then. civilians don't have much time to get to a safe place. in recent weeks, the russian military machine has intensified its missile attacks on ukrainian cities, and this applies to both border areas and objects located far from the front line. the change in russian strategy may be primarily connected with putin's attempt to sow more and more seeds of terror. in addition... russian edition of meduza with reference to three sources in the administration of russian dictator putin reports that putin has allegedly tasked the russian military

command to begin preparations for a new offensive on kharkiv and kyiv. so far, this information looks more like ipso, an attempt to sow panic, as well as divert attention from other areas of the front. however, missile attacks, which russia began to subject objects to. infrastructure also have another goal: to damage or disable the ukrainian energy system. russia appears to have been stockpiling cruise and ballistic missiles over the past winter months rockets however, the shelling of kyiv on march 25 stands out from the general series of events. defense express military experts. with reference to their own sources, indicate that kiev could be fired with hypersonic secret zircon missiles, and the attacks were carried out from the territory of the temporarily occupied

crimea. however, the spokesman of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, major ilya yevlash, citing expert data, does not yet confirm this version. obviously, we cannot completely reject it, at least until the moment when the relevant profilers have their say institutions, but if we assume that these could really be zircons, it means that russia is trying, including to test its top-secret weapons. by the way, the approximate flight time from the territory of the occupied crimea to kyiv is 3.5 minutes. the declared speed of zircons is more than 10,000 km/h. however, there is good news here: if we assume that the ukrainian air defense over kyiv did shoot down the cerkona missiles, it means that

they are not invulnerable. a few years ago, when introducing this missile weapon, the dictator putin presented it as invincible, and as which cannot be shot down by any existing air defense systems. it is noteworthy that this week it also became known that... the russian fsb continues repression against the developers of cruise and ballistic missiles, including zircon. another russian designer sat behind bars on charges of treason. moreover , the irony of fate lies in the fact that he is suspected of cooperation with the special services not only of the usa, but also of china. it is no secret that it is chinese intelligence that shows the greatest interest in modern russian military developments. and already several leading russian ones designers were put behind bars on charges of working for the chinese special services. this is what chinese-russian friendship is like. as

they say. friendship is friendship, and tobacco is a threat. i, taras berezovyts, conducted this program for you. thank you, take care. glory to ukraine, together to victory. a real dictatorship reigns in the fictional country. turn on hbo's new satirical series on soft mode. can her tyranny lead to freedom? see the ukrainian subscription of mego. there are 10% discounts on valeriana bolgarska in psylsnyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. there are discounts on zzilor 10% in pharmacies, plantain, memory and

crocus hill. so we understand that there are several versions, but i would like to ask you right away about your vision of possible scenarios for the unfolding of events, yes? the consequences, i think we will all soon see, but the key story is what could have been, what was, and what may not have fit into the official version. and now it is already known that the perpetrators of the terrorist attack are representatives of khorasan idols from northern afghanistan. perhaps they were adjusted, managed. from that region, but there are many other points that testify to the wider participation of the persons involved in this terrorist attack. i would like to first dwell on the version of the russian federation, what putin, bortnikov, patrushev and other leaders are voicing today in this regard. they, expressing doubts about involvement in the organization of the terrorist attack and khorasan events, are trying to transfer responsibility to ukraine. judging by the events that took place during

and after the terrorist attack. for a terrorist attack, the naked eye can see the benefit of russia's special services. first of all , they got the conditions in which they were preparing for a terrorist attack weapons, went to turkey, where they received an additional visa to the russian federation. here it should be noted that in the turkish embassy there are four employees of diplomats, usually two employees of the szr, the foreign intelligence service. one gru employee and one fsb employee. here i have from... so i proceed precisely from the russian calculation, this is actually the situation in the embassies. and it is very suspicious that according to the data of the turkish special services, which were announced by erdogan, these people did not contact anyone except the embassy of the russian federation. they were under surveillance turkish special services.
