the criticality of the moment is what mr. skibitskyi said, that we may have two more powerful shellings this spring, the energy industry may suffer even more, or is it about the front or something? i think blinken said it for a domestic audience, namely the republicans, help me, ukraine is in a critical situation, it's to push the republicans who will be coming out of vacation, from easter april 9th, to support ... that option a bill that was put forward by the biden administration and that was supported in the senate and congress voted for this option, and not for johnson's delay, well, making this decision by introducing his own bill, which is weak, not quite like that, well, well, i won't tell you for a long time, it is specifically necessary, but we are satisfied with the senate's option of 60 billion. including a significant part

of the money there, more than 15 billion, it is simply money for the infusion budget, well, that is, this option, the senate option, is more convenient for us, and blinkin told about it, but i think that it is necessary to take into account the fact that what the green government is not working on, well, what we are we are talking about zelensky's team or the president's office, whatever it is called, but today, you know, everyone is talking about the enemy's offensive, where it will be, the enemy is accumulating forces, the enemy was accumulating forces, cabs, missiles that he has accumulated, and we, by the way, we always received information before, the enemy had accumulated some rockets, how many rockets, and 80-70 rockets always came to us, 60 were shot down by something, now we don't even know how many, well, this is not a criticism of anyone, it's just a fact, yes, that's right, and, and lo, i remember, but when the enemy was accumulating forces, mobilizing people, doing run away airplanes, equipment was preparing for this

offensive, which everyone is talking about now, we, in my opinion, were busy all this time with the dismissal of generals, the race for a soldier and some other things that, and there , valera and maryana were talking, that was also the case , well, we had something like that, and somehow before the fact it's spring, the energy industry is fighting the enemy, rockets are being fired at the enemy, an offensive is being prepared, we have the verkhovna rada. people are gathering, they heroically pass the law on mobilization, they do not pass it, they are still working, how did it happen, yes, how did it happen, that again somehow, because the authorities are largely occupied with preserving power, increasing it, and prolonging it in the future, and zanya is busy with intrigues, well, all authorities are busy with intrigues at all times in all nations, right? well,

but somewhere there has to be a limit to these scheming, when your scheming threatens your very existence, your existence, and that's why it's really surprising, but hey, let's be adults, it won't change, because the narcissistic government, the narcissistic government, when ee the president is a narcissist, and it all transforms that the whole team becomes narcissistic, yes, becomes self-righteous, they think that... everything they do, they do absolutely right, of course it's not, but they're really sure of it, really sure, and as they say, the retinue makes the king, and, but the king makes the retinue, yes, and it spread to the whole team, the whole team loses, they are not doing the same in the internal dialogue, they are fooling society and talking about society, as if with little, with a small child, and here are all the conversations, where we started, that a lot... as if in sumy there is such a thing as whether there will be

an attack by russia or not, i say yes and you, but what do they say to the single marathon about this, and they say, who believed in a single marathon nowadays? we have a paradoxical situation, 5 years since the fool's day, yes, it's 2019, but most people still don't believe in a single marathon, but they ask you do you believe in a single marathon, no, i ask that in focus groups, and i see this trash, do you believe the only one? out of 10 people sitting in a focus group nine say no we don't believe and you trust the president yes well five out of four say yes we do trust well out of compliance what is the target group , social, age and so on, there in different ways, but i’m telling you about the trend, that is, we don’t believe in a single marathon, we don’t trust the government, but we trust zelensky, well, that ’s the way, if his rating drops and they get it by any means, including drowning competitors, how was it with the industrious. this is in the domestic market, but also in

the foreign market, they are doing terrible trash, they completely lose it in the foreign market, they do not know how to sell ukraine, our horror, our panic, oh, oh. well, let's leave the panic aside, it's not really a panic, but well, ours and not vitya, i don’t know how to do it, you’re a poet, whatever you call it, it’s not horror, nor despair , nor fear, but it’s, well, it’s not a diplomatic deep concern, but it’s somewhere irritation that they don't help us enough, and they can't sell it, why, and because danilov, well, by now i'm hoping for a political... corpse, he said that four people can speak on behalf of ukraine, yes, it's there by position, zelenskyi, shmyhal, stefanchuk, as the chairman of the verkhovna rada and kuleb, this is a major strategic mistake, it's not even a mistake, it's already similar

for treason, because everyone must speak on behalf of ukraine, so vasyl zima went abroad and spoke with someone there, and it is correct, actually according to... the version of maryana bezugoi, it was a crime, vasyl, you know, i just to catch up, but i'm catching up, i want to ask you one more question, because your opinion is very important to me, a quote was voiced by andriy yaermak, the head of the president's office, who said that, well, in principle, we are thinking about the fact that even after the war, although again after all, it will be difficult to understand what it is like after the war, while at this stage, instead of opening the borders for several years, so that people remained, rebuilt ukraine, why is it being asked now in such... a difficult time, when people are still thinking about how to go through mobilization, in principle, most men understand that they will obviously have to be somewhere, well at least to defend the country, and they already tell you in advance , and then you will still sit here and you will not go to your wife and you will not go to your mother, for example, somewhere there, that’s not

enough, he says that we will not cancel the state of emergency for several more years, that is it means not to hold elections. i.e to prolong their power, they were supporters of the presidential and council elections while they had a great rating, not sinking, now that the rating has become sinking, they want and i warned, i said that as soon as the situation with the electoral field changes, they will turn the situation around, then they wanted very quick elections, now they will drag there so that there will be no elections for a very long time, this will certainly make people angry. people, but i'll be honest with you, the first thing i did when i heard this yesterday was that i started checking because i thought, that this is an april fool's joke, because, well, i guess, you can't tell such a fool, but after what bezugla said, i already believe in any fierce trash that comes from

the green government, that is, they say nonsense for nonsense , something that does not cross anyone's head, people will want for the first time that as soon as it ends, hostilities will stop, it is clear that it... will not end in peace, it can end only in a truce, well, at least until putin dies , yes, that's for sure, that is , there will be no peace agreement, no parade, no victory there will be, but it will just be if there is a truce there for three, five, 10 years, and people will immediately want to rest, and irmak says, no, we will not give power to anyone, this is their strategic plan, so that we know i love you, they don't have a strategy on how to win back territories, but they have... strategies on how not to give up power. thank you very much, mr. viktor, for your honesty and professionalism. viktor babarenko, political scientist, expert of the political analysis bureau from sumy region, about all these things, you know how ivan franko had the words: "you love russia, brother." like bread and a piece of lard, i bark once

shocks so that she does not sleep. you, brother , love russia like a cow eats bread, but i don't love her with great love, you were still there, brothers , you love russia, i don't love serak, you are a patriot, i am a dog. so this is who loves russia. russia, as ukraine is meant, is like bread and a piece of lard, or like the bread of a cow's oxen, well , it's obvious, but it's just very often in such stories, then such lovers of russia conduct their discussions somewhere in prague, in amsterdam, in london, well, for now agents of the fsb or then the kgb, will not give them a box of chocolates that will explode like it was in history, won't they shoot in history with konovalts, won't they shoot petliura in paris in 26, won't he poison like bandera in munich, well, bandera is not to blame here , but i mean before of what happens so often when people love russia like a stable, oxen, a cow, or like bread and a piece of lard. yes, good, now i will give the floor to serhiy zgurts, director of the defense express agency,

host of the military summaries of the day column. sergey, congratulations, please, i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, today in our section we let's talk about the first case when our drones effectively crossed the border in... 200 km to strike the enemy, about the dynamics with our fpv drones, which are positive, and about the course of hostilities in the hottest areas of the front, in a conversation with our military p in a moment, i will start with the fact that april 2 is actually the beginning of a new stage of the use of ukrainian strike drones against the objects of the defense-industrial complex and critical infrastructure of russia, because this time for the first time enemy targets located at a distance of more than 1200 km were attacked . several unmanned aerial vehicles first hit the factory for the production

of iranian long-range kemikaze drones of the shachet type, the factory is located in the russian special economic zone of the allabug industrial type, now we can see it on the map that this factory is located in tatarstan, and also another factory was attacked, this oil refinery in nizhnyokamsk, this city is located some tens of kilometers from alabuga, now we see strikes precisely on the production of russian fpv drones, we see a powerful explosion after hitting the unmanned complex, but returning to the oil refinery, it is also quite powerful, because it is one of the five largest factories of the russian federation, and there the drone hit the installation just in time. oil production, this is the most technological element of any refinery. so this video, which

we are now seeing, shows what this drone that attacked alaboga looks like, while the marchers claim that it was a ukrainian-made aircraft of aeroprakt a22, visually it is really similar, now we we will show this aeropract, but i will not confirm that these are similar planes, let the viewer draw his own conclusions, but in... the successful attack on the production of shahediv and the taneko oil refinery in russian tatarstan allows us to draw three such key conclusions about the capabilities of ukraine in long-range strikes: firstly, this is a new level of range, because we are not only talking about 1,200 km, but because the drones fly on an indirect trajectory, but on a complex one, taking into account the possible locations of the complexes. in russia, so what the range will be more than 1200 km. second, we're talking about the fact that this aircraft can carry

a payload in the range of 400 kg, a payload in the range of 400 kg, which is much more than the ferocious drone, which has a range of 100,000 km plus and a payload there of 50 or 70 kg, here 400 kg is quite a decent weight for a real strike on... defense enterprises of the russian federation with positive consequences. and the third conclusion is that these drones flew 1,200 km into the zone, which was eventually to be protected by anti-aircraft systems defense, because there is a factory for the production of shaheids, there is an enterprise that manufactures these trucks, kamaz, including for the russian army, 20 kilometers away, there is just one more nizhnekamsk gs, that is, in any case, these ... the objects were supposed to be covered by means of air defense, but as we can see, they were not covered, that is, in fact, the scale

of the holes of russian air defense is simply amazing, which opens up new opportunities for the operation of our long-range strike drones, now the question is the scaling of such samples so that indeed, we would not have to save them so that they would fly to other objects of the russian federation. and then we will talk about what is happening. on the front line, today there were 70 combat clashes, about a third more than yesterday, the enemy is starting to press again along the entire front line, the two directions are the most difficult, this is just as a result of the assembly of the general staff, this is the fighting near bakhmut, this is in particular there chasivyar , and the second direction, which has the most combat formations, is precisely the novopavlivskyi direction, there around the new... they continue almost everywhere

populated areas around novomykhaivka, and what is happening there right now, we will talk with our guest, now we have serhiy voronov, an officer of the freedom legion, mr. serhiy, welcome to the spresso channel, glad to see and hear, my greetings , i would like you to explain to our viewers what the enemy is aiming for now after the capture of the completely destroyed... maryanka, where are the main directions of his attacks directed, right now or according to the results of this week? well, actually, i think that the first one is like this, maybe even a strategy... a real goal the enemy was precisely to push the defense forces away from donetsk in order not to give them the opportunity to fire there some logistical routes, logistic hubs, well, actually away, as i say, push them away from the city itself, this was done there after the destruction, the complete destruction of avdiyivka , they did the same with

mariyanka, well, actually today they are trying to develop their own offensive, in particular in the direction of the city of kurakhovo, today in fact in schen , georgiyivka is also destroyed, which is actually on the road to kurakhovo, the enemy is also interesting such cities as krasnohorivka, but they are actively trying to attack it from the south, well , there are frontal attacks from the south as well, and the equipment is on fire, what is there, what is there, well, actually near nevelsky and probably the biggest such hot situation... the situation in pervomaisky , it is possible and actually refers to the line there between the avdiiv direction and ours, and actually there the enemy really created a real hell, well , actually on all other aspects of the front, i can’t say that it is calm, because the shelling continues practically everywhere, goes everywhere some there are at least artillery duels, so

it is not necessary to say that somewhere in the other direction is calmer. but in the named settlements, well, there is a real hell, well , it is true that this direction has been the most saturated for a long time in terms of the number of density of russian attacks there, and our counterattacks, but regarding the tactics of hostilities, because yesterday we discussed the situation there, when the 25th brigade destroyed the enemy's mechanized attack there to the west of avdiyivka. and there for the first time after a long period of the enemy used such a dense attack precisely with the use of tanks and armored vehicles after the period when there were these foot assaults there in twos there or detachments that in these areas around novomykhaivka, do you know something in the actions of the enemy changes, does not change, how he acts there , trying

to advance in the direction of our defense, well , novomykhaivka, in fact... but one of the most remote settlements, in particular from the zone of action and my unit, so it is difficult for me to speak exactly there, but there in other directions, depending on the landscape, actually the enemy uses somewhat different, but quite similar tactics there, in particular there, for example, in the area of ​​pervomaiskyi, the guys report, literally yesterday they said that every morning two or three bekhs actually leave there. well , usually three, two are burned or blown up by our mines, the third one tries to escape, and actually in the settlement itself , right there, krasnohorivka, near nevelskyi, pervomaiskyi, the enemy really uses tactics, there it divides into twos in order to run, in particular, in populated areas

from the remains of the buildings, because i can say that there are no buildings as such, there are only walls somewhere, somewhere... filth remains, and here , moving in pairs, they are trying, so to speak, to deconcentrate and attack our positions, or rather forces of defense as well, in particular with the help of drones, we see them all and try, and our guys are confidently working even on the approaches to our positions, and the area where your unit, your comrades are located, what is happening in terms of statistics? using these cabs, or how densely are these cabins located on each plot, are they still more there in the avdivka zone, are there fewer of them on your plot, are there any statistics? well, i just recently met with comrades, in particular from the legion of freedom, who were in avdiivka, they said that the kabs were there, well, simply,

if there was hell on earth, then it was definitely there, in fact, the enemy was also active on our front lines with... uses this type of weapon, guided aerial bombs, and actually they are a bit of a nuisance there, because, as you understand, you can be a super-motivated fighter, but if a 500-kilogram bomb is flying at you, it's a bit unpleasant, but in particular, krasnohorivka is often hit there, hit from different positions, even peaceful cities were flown in, but it literally disappeared there. such a bomb flew in for weeks and did not explode, that is , the enemy realized that it is such an effective, so to speak, tactical tool and confidently uses it today, considering the fact that... they have them, well, according to reports, we have almost dozens of them there , if not hundreds of thousands, then they improve this, so to speak, dumb

bomb, ah, with appropriate wings and direct it there with rather not, well, with rather decent accuracy, so we have to hope that the f-16s, which have a lot of promise there will change the situation, in particular in the air and allow the force... of defense to push the russian aviation away from the line, well , we have to wait, we have to look for more effective methods that are at hand, here we repeatedly see videos where fpv drones are used against the enemy, we see that, well, it is extremely effective, that in your area with fpv drones, on our side, on the enemy side, are there opportunities to use fpv drones in night operations against the enemy, and you usually talk about raising funds for... for reb facilities, so, well please , evaluate this situation and in relation to the reba and v povidronov in those areas where you and your brothers are? well, actually,

i can say that if someone somewhere sees the fees for off-road vehicles, rebs and fividrons, this is one of the most useful things today, in particular on the collision line, i can say that as only the enemy feels that somewhere on the front line there is hunger... an area without soldiers, well , believe me, it is teeming with positions above the heads, therefore it is very important today to saturate it with the most modern means of combat, and because today the war is already moving such a technological nature, and accordingly, we all understand and we all see how rapidly developing, in particular, unmanned devices, well, and accordingly, at the same time , the means of combating them are also developing, that is why our defense forces are actively using just that, including drones, working on enemy positions, the enemy also uses these technologies, well, actually, with these

technologies, we can compensate for the lack of artillery that we have, i will not say that it is so significant, but it is still felt and it is precisely with the help of drones that we try align and establish at least some parity on the line. and mr. sergey, what about the fortifications? today , shmyhal announced that another 10 billion hryvnias have been allocated for the construction of fortifications in all regions, but, as i understand it, the military has to create fortifications with its own hands where the hostilities are going on, how is it possible in your unit, what are the difficulties, how to carry out fortifications in conditions when the enemy carries out constant strikes there with semi-drones and artillery. well, i can only say that now the second line of defense is really being actively built there, in particular , fortifications are being built here, well

, i will say it so that tomorrow, when the second line of defense is being built, does not fly, it is really a little difficult with the first one, because there are a lot of material resources it's just in time for the second one, and the first one, well, we're actually holding out for time today. in order to build all the necessary lines of defense, in particular i would like, frankly, i would like more forest in kruglyak on the line of contact, because i do not understand today where the ukrainian forest has gone, or it is not there somewhere or there, therefore, i would really like more materials for all this, for construction, so that all our fighters are protected, in particular from the same fpv drones, because you understand, when they are two or three fpidrones or mavics hanging over the position, then it remains only deeper - dig deeper in order to be protected, that's why today

fortifications are just such a powerful defense on the front line, it needs to be constantly improved, and in those areas where our battalion operates, i can say that the second and third lines are actively is being built, is being built, they are digging. tank trenches, positions in opa, ropa, that is, everything, all this is being done, but i would like, of course, that all this was possible, even 10 years ago, when our war began. by the way, you have some engineering equipment in your staff does this work, or excavators, are there any, well, devices, or, because not all units have such things that allow us to relieve our infantry a little, what is in your battalion? i can say so, in our country. the state does not have the appropriate special means, but we are getting out of this situation, we involve, so to speak, freelance equipment so

that there are opportunities just... for construction, i can say so, there is one story, and when there are guys from my unit in qualities there, including motivational ones of such a nature, educator, they began to dig just the right buildings, well, they dug trenches, and in fact , after returning home in the evening, i read the news on facebook, and there one of the deputies of one of the city councils was actively writing on facebook, as it is necessary today... to dig, well, i actually i turned to him and i am still waiting for us and our unit to be provided with special equipment, in particular, there are suitable tractors that would help to dig them not by hand, but with the help of equipment, so we see the equipment, but we see the one that hires, as far as i am concerned i understand the military administration, she really works near cities for military purposes, well, in particular, in our unit there

is not... not much of such equipment, but there we find options for getting out of the situation, and i would like to ask for the last time about recruiting mechanisms, whether there are such models that allow replenish your battalion with motivated conscripts, or everything goes through the military, what do you have with it? well, to be honest, it is very difficult to deal with this today , the issue of improving the conditions of mobilization has arisen so acutely. and even the adoption of that mobilization law is possible, although in my humble opinion in my opinion, it is still aimed more at expanding the layers of categories that will be subject to mobilization, and not at the main one, in particular at increasing the motivational component, because today every ukrainian must be motivated to defend his state so that it takes place tomorrow, and that is why it is very difficult, the enemy threw such, you know, theses into

the information field, when ukraine... there they already started to say that let the deputies go, and we will leave later, well, i believe that this is precisely an informational attack there and such informational throws from the enemy for to knock down the motivational component of the ukrainian population, and replenishment on the front line, replenishment of the combat battalions that are here in donetsk today, it is relevant, it is needed and it is needed as soon as possible, because... even those units that are still there, in which there are there are enough military personnel, believe me, they have been on the front line for a long time and need rotation, maybe even just psychologically, so i would call for it possible to speed up, speed up the mobilization processes in the country, because our country must take place and take place she can only when there are men who are able

to protect her. mr. serhiy, thank you very much for the inclusion, for what you and your brothers are doing to protect our country. let me remind you that it was serhii voronov, an officer of the legion of freedom. and by the way, regarding mobilization, here is the news that president zelensky signed the law on conscription from the age of 25, this news is being updated, this is an important thing related to the increase of the mobilization resource, but it should also be related to the expansion. preparation measures so that these people are really ready for combat operations, for various conditions that are required on the battlefield. these were the main highlights of today's military results, more international and economic news later on vasyl zima's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. thanks to serhiy zgorets,

thanks to his guest, those were. military results of the day and to continue the military theme, i want to say that the head of the ukrainian government, denys shmyhal, announced large-scale inspections of the vlk, which will take place in the month of april, meaning military medical commissions, i will tell you about the most important news i will tell you in detail, and by the way, today we will have a conversation with igor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, and we will talk with him about what is happening there, as they say, in the washington yard. explosions were heard in the dnipro, this was written by public correspondents, formerly in the air force. of the armed forces of ukraine reported that the russians launched a guided air missile in the direction of the city. there is still an air alert in the city. 950 missiles, almost as many remained with the russians, this statement was made by the representative vadym skibitskyi, head of the intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, in a comment to the rbc publication, refers to high-precision missiles for
