875 residents, serhii chaus, the head of the city's military administration, told radio svoboda. the townspeople who refuse to leave their homes are mostly pensioners, they do not leave, despite the mortal danger and the lack of electricity, water and gas. yesterday, just to make it clear, they arranged an online bridge, a telebridge, if that's how it is used to be called e with one of the counters, which is located in central ukraine, they showed our residents who have already left, what services they receive, we are trying to prove to people that evacuation saves lives, people have moved a little, but to say that this is, well, let's say, a large flow no. help from partners: donetsk received an additional 65 generators from a german company. of international

cooperation - said the head of the region vadym filashkin. 16 devices were given to the donetsk teplokomunergo enterprise. they will come in handy for the next heating season. 29 generators will serve for a steady supply of water in the region, and the rest have been handed over to slovyansk. they will be used if there is no power supply. air raids during march-may 2022 in ukrainian. the pilots miraculously managed to fly on rotorcraft to azovstal. the operations remained secret for a long time, because they had an extremely important mission: to supply ammunition and medicines, as well as to evacuate the seriously wounded from mariupol, which the russians held in the blog. about superhumans who agreed to participate in such air operations, further. we did not decide for a long time, our friends were there, our brothers, we were obliged to do it, we did it... volodymyr mazorchuk, call sign

tasteless. on march 29, 2022 , a military man went by helicopter to help his brothers who were surrounded. in mariupol. the air operation on azovstal is a series of flights to the blockaded mariupol, which was carried out by the ukrainian air force, together with the main directorate of intelligence. according to kyril bodanov, head of the department, ukraine sent military aid to azovstal seven times. it was worse than i expected because... i was flying, i understood that i was flying to a surrounded city, but well, the reality was a little different from what i realized. volodymyr, like all the defenders of azovstal, obeyed

the commander's order to save his life, he was captured by the russians in azovstal, where he stayed for 13 months, and was exchanged on june 11, 2023 . however, most of the flights to mariupol have become one-way flights, according to the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, about 90% of pilots died during such operations, among them andrii ogorodnyk, call sign ojos. from february 24, the hero defended the kyiv region, on the night of march 24 to 25 he went to... reinforcements to mariupol, did you know or did he tell you that he was flying? it was a secret gur operation, and our children, they didn’t tell us anything, we found out, he only called back once, from the 19th, i

was just shocked and that’s all, no, on april 26, 2022, andriy died from fragment of an 82-caliber mortar. his body was searched for 11 months, died on zhelizaki in the hospital, but i am very grateful to my comrades that they dragged him under fire in order to try to save his life, and in such inhumane conditions, her doctors tried to save the lives of our children, unfortunately, unfortunately, flights to occupied mariupol seemed impossible at that time, the first evidence of them appeared only on may 20, 2022. they knew that it was difficult, ah, they knew that

it was almost impossible to fly to azovstal and bring them medicine, bring them food products, bring them water, take away the bodies. wounded, all this happened, a lot of things happened, which no one could officially comment on. according to the head of the gur kyril budanov, a total of 16 mi-8 military helicopters flew to the defenders in azovstal. such air operations made it possible to extend the effective defense of the mariupol garrison for more than a month. on may 16, 2022 , the higher military command of ukraine issued an order to the unit commander. to save the lives of personnel, the so-called evacuation of ukrainian fighters to the occupied territory began the same evening. president volodymyr zelenskyi reported in june 2022 that after the battles for mariupol , more than 25

ukrainian fighters from azovstal were captured by russia. after a series of exchanges of prisoners of the kremlin, about eight hundred azov citizens still remain. perhaps that is why war is an art. science, when you have completed the task and kept the maximum number of personnel, this is the highest level of military management, especially when your decision is approved by the highest military leadership. glory to ukraine! glory to heroes. espresso volunteer kitchen continues to work for victory. for the second year in a row, we have been making our own vitamin mixtures for the armed forces. currently, the initiative is gaining momentum and, in addition to vitamins, appears in parcels to the front. others, our defenders need goodies: dried fruits, nuts, jerky, pastila, dry soups and borschts, lard and canned meat, everything that will feed our people at zero. we have a lot of requests, so we need your help, dear viewers, join and support our soldiers with a donation, you can see all the details on the screen.

news editorial office, back in eteriso already at 3 p.m., we are working, monitoring what is happening in ukraine and the world, about the most important things. let's say, next meet my colleagues marta oliyarnyk and antin borkovskii. well, the information day of the tv channel continues. thanks to anna eva melnyk, thanks to the news editor. very important messages arrived today, both from the foreign mass media and from the representatives of certain political structures, so there are indeed many events, and let's measure the air time given to us. to inform you dear tv viewers about all the most important things, and of course, the best, most competent experts

will work for you on live espresso in a live studio, marta oliarnyk and antin borkovskyi, and now we will add to our ter oleksii hetman, a major of the reserve of the national guard of ukraine and a veteran of the russian- ukrainian war, literally in a moment, but before that, of course, about important news, so united states secretary of state anthony blinken was in france yesterday, so he met with... the president of france macron and while in france, blinken stated that the united states did not support or facilitate ukrainian attacks outside ukrainian territory, he actually spoke about the attacks on the oil refineries of the russian federation, and we will not only talk about this with mr. oleksiy hetman, a reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war. mr. oleksiy, welcome to espresso, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, let's not fall into conspiracy, so to speak, it is quite

difficult to predict the situation on the battlefield, we understand what forces are involved, both from our side and from the enemy's side, but this american political agency quoted its own, not only its own, but also our, anonymous, though, officers . so, regarding the new russian offensive in the summer of this year, well... the concept of summer is quite a stretch, as they say, it could be may, it could be june, and it could be august, well, but, but, but , i am quoting now, er, the anonymous officers who were quoted politician: there is a great risk that the front line will collapse where the russian generals decide to focus their offensive. moreover, thanks to much larger numbers and guided aerial bombs, which have been destroying ukrainian positions for several weeks, russia... will probably be able to break through the front line and destroy it in some areas, well

, accordingly, there is a question of resources and there are currently no serious technologies capable of compensating ukraine for a large the mass of troops that russia is likely to throw. here i can say for my part that it is a lie, yes, because it is its technologies are serious, there is serious equipment, only we do not get it, as, in particular, when we talk about the same armored vehicles, abrams m1 tanks in the proper. number and so on and so on, well, but the publication is alarming, maybe it is symptomatic in some way, maybe it is a certain pressure with the help of politico editors on one or another environment in the american congress, well, but you are a military man and you know what a difficult situation on earth is , so estimate, be kind, mr. major, it is possible, you know, you can look for some logical chain. maybe it is illogical, maybe there is no chain, but recently the president of the country said that if

there is no appropriate help to our armed forces from our partners, then it is quite possible that we will be able to, that we will have to retreat more precisely in some areas . then an article appears that some unnamed officers talk about the fact that where the enemy concentrates, then... maybe he will be able to reach whoever anyone will say, even a non-military person, here another question arises, but where and how these foreign journalists sought out such officers, how did they walk the streets or what is it, here the question is a little strange, it is definitely not zero, it means somewhere in the rear and how did they find them, in what way and through what channels, it arises high-ranking?

officers, majors, lieutenant colonels, colonels, that's why it's, well, i'm sure that any person who is not in the reserve or not retired, directly ... service, well , they came to him, foreign journalists, they say that you you can say about what will happen on the front line, i am 99.9, or rather yes, 999 people out of a thousand, to whom i would turn, would say, dear, i'm sorry, what are you, because who knows what kind of people came up and whatever identification they showed, because we have counterintelligence, and all

high-ranking officers perfectly understand who you can meet, what you can... what you can't to say, but we talked about a certain vervechka, several articles appeared already about the fact that you and i should not expect victory the way we see it, we saw in the second world war that someone would sign a capitulation, and well, that's how it is happened with fascist germany, that the victory will look completely in a different way and so on and so on, that is, her preparation of people for what... can be considered a victory, i don't know that anything can be considered a victory, that is, there are such and such events, and no one capitulated, because nobody signed the surrender after the second world war, it is not known where the enemy troops remained, whether they left, that is, the territories, or not, but if you call it a victory, then there is already the first such overton window, which, you see,

not everyone understands victory, this is not surrender, it is completely different, and it will look like it this is exactly how they will tell, so look, first the president says, then an article appears that her victory is not exactly what we expect, and then another article from low-ranking officers that all this could be a collapse, there this word is used, as far as i remember, on some part of the front, it is someone else's full, because crack is a completely different thing, the meaning of the word is if somewhere they can break through or advance, that there is nothing to break through there, if... they will be able to advance, then we will withdraw and take positions in other places, well, they will, when captured odiivka or bakhmut, did they interrupt something, no, they captured some area, and we simply retreated to other positions, we are holding the defense there, so it seems to me that it can be assumed here, as you think, that this is being done on purpose in order to to encourage more actively, not only more actively, that at least from

april 9 to start helping us, but on the one hand. for others it may be preparation, it is for our foreign partners, and for it may be for internal consumption for you and me, that we are being prepared for the fact that soon we we will win, only in a way that we do not expect. mr. oleksiy, look, yesterday zelenskyi signed laws that provide for the lowering of the mobilization age, the introduction of an electronic office of conscripts, and there is also a certain decision regarding the disabled, they will be forced within a nine-month period to... undergo a military medical examination commission, or for them to be suitable, or for them to be recognized as unsuitable, and we understand that certain laws were already voted on earlier, but zelensky delayed signing these laws, as you you wonder if the actual reminder and such a hint from our western allies that ukraine is not keeping up with the pace of mobilization became a trigger, well, you know,

a reference, a constant reference to the fact that we may have some setbacks. let's put it mildly on the front line, because our partners do not supply us with the necessary, necessary amount of weapons, then this link, well, it works, it worked, but also our partners, i don't want to say that they white tapohmena, it's very bad, that they are delaying the supply of weapons to us and are generally blocking some types weapons that should be supplied to us for our defense, but they also say, why don't you build fortifications? what is this, why don’t you build, why do people, they say, from the pentagon, from the nato bloc, from the general secretary of nato, say that you are in danger, your citizens have to pick up shovels and dig trenches, you have all private construction companies should work to build fortifications to prevent the enemy from advancing, why are you all delaying, what is the problem, what are you doing, what are you

building instead of fortification, maybe something else build, then i will stop. stop building something else, start building fortifications where they are no longer where they are not yet completed, well, that is quite understandable, and all the more so because we have the finances and capabilities, technical capabilities, we have everything for this well covered with concrete, we can build, the question is, why then is it being done slowly, or is it not being done at all in some areas, well, and the last question they ask is quite clear that in addition to weapons, it is called: the means are also forces, that is, they say that in the armed forces it is customary to say so in the forces, well, not only in the armed forces, but also in the media, in order to achieve something. you need to have a force at the front, you need to have forces and means, so means are weapons, forces are people, and the question is a very apt question of our partners, why do you have such a big problem

with mobilization, what, why are you delaying, in why the problem nothing is needed right away, it’s just necessary to get together, to get out of, i don’t know, the comatose state in the verkhovna rada, which meets once a week during the war, this is at best and vote for... the law: yes, there are amendments, there are, it must be worked out, well , as much as you need, let us help you, because you have no specialists, no lawyers, no people who are military, who are this is understood, let's help you, and there are no questions why you don't do it, well, here i have my personal subjective point of view, because i, like many of us, have acquaintances not only in, well, including , not only, including in those, shall we say, parties that are... in power, and these people are yes, but not on, come on yes, the deputies are not named, not on camera, in private conversations, they say, well, you understand,

they tell me that those who will do this, it will be a black mark for them, and after that it will be very difficult to count on any support from the population, i i say, well, we all understand it, but this is the fact that the unpopular decision, well , but you see, mr. major, dropped from 27 to 25 years. there was no need to hedge such a large and powerful policy, pr, history, i have a lot, i understand that time is short, but i have a very simple question, why, when there was a conscription into the army, they were conscripted from the age of 18, that’s what, but now in order to fight, they have to mobilize from the age of 25, that is, it turns out, well, it’s obvious that the army that we had was from the age of 18 to conscription, this is not a real army. this is a pioneer camp, this is a game from the upper room, that is, what is it, that is , it is impossible to fight from the age of 18, so we will call it from

the age of 25, and earlier it was planned from the age of 27, and then why, why then did it bother people, if you are the kind of people who it is made by such laws, if you are so intelligent, why then do you call people from the age of 18 are in the army for conscription, let's also start from 25, because once again it turns out that those who were... conscripted earlier are not real soldiers, well, they are young and cannot yet, they just have to grow up to 25 years old, that's why, you know, again, well, it's like that, and the mobilization age must be lowered, it 's called, in psychiatry, it's called ambivalence, that is, when a person agrees with two opposite statements, well , it must be lowered even lower, i'm sure that yes if this is my personal opinion, we understand, this is again, this is my personal opinion my opinion, uh, who agreed with it, someone disagrees, but that's normal, that's it, and well, everyone

has the right to their own opinion, i'm sure that uh, if you can be drafted from the age of 18 or from the age of 21, for example, and this is a person who is called up, he receives a weapon, and he is a military serviceman, and a military serviceman during a war has to defend his homeland, then the call-up 21 is possible, but... but the mobilization 21 is not possible, well, it is something like that, well, listen, look, i still wanted, mr. major, i still wanted to clarify with you about the estimated number of yes the so-called human resource or manpower, at one time the figure of half a million sounded there, you know, a lot of people sat down there, understanding all the scales, then a message appeared that this or that military unit of the group was not being used that way, it was necessary they were somewhat redeployed, so to speak, because some brigades... stood at the front, the other brigades stood, i don't know, somewhere in other, no less important, but not bloody positions, and so on, and here it is as if they say , that there is no longer such a need in

large quantities, but we understand that well the key story is the enemy's mobilization plan, they keep it a secret, well, but anyway, at least 30,000 per month, well , yes, i have come across such information, they are trying to formalize it, there is such a thing, approximately plus or minus, but there is a plus -minus... well, the fact is that commander syrskyi said that he reported, he reported that we don't need half a million, it's a lot to mobilize, all of us, and before that, the previous commander, the enlisted man, said that we need up to 500 thousand, he didn't say 500, he said indicatively, now other commanders say that 500 is not necessary, how much do you need 400? 90 is not 500, so it somehow looks, you know, no need for 500, well, everyone is satisfied, everyone made up their minds that if 500 is not needed, then maybe there will be no mobilization at all, no, dear, there will be mobilization.

only if we don't mobilize, well, if we plan to mobilize not 500, well, let's say so, well, 100 will definitely not be enough for us, maybe 300 will be enough, maybe not enough, maybe we need 400, well, if we don't need 500, then we need after that , i'm sorry, it's necessary, i repeat, well, usually, well, you can say that we don't need 500, but we need at least than for example 400 or not or not less than. 300 or not less than 10, because 400 is more than 10, well, i need to say something more, because it looks very much like this, no, we don’t need as much as we need, i won’t say, well, let it be a military secret, but at least approximately, although you know, any military man can count, if he just spends an hour on it, just looks at the police there, what some units are, it’s not a big dungeon, it’s not

secret information, how many weapons do we have . strength, how much, what losses we have, and how much approximately needed to fight back, you can calculate with those weapons, with those means that we have, and even which ones are as planned, so it’s not here, well here yes, i understand that some people can immediately calculate there different deputies or female deputies, they know everything better, but it is not, well, approximately plus or minus 50 00, well, you can count any, as you said, secret senior officer, yes or other positions, anonymous, yes there, come on, any person from the military world can do it quite quickly, approximately how to guess, it is possible, here here, well , thank you, thank you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy hetman, reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, veteran of the russian-ukrainian war , was in touch with us, now we are going for a short break, after it we will return to
