more understandable, they are filled with meaning, but unfortunately, and very much pain. these are words like dignity, like faith, like respect. each of these words has existed for a very long time, but you begin to understand them when you see the real people who fill these words. nikita titov started creating the nine paintings presented at the exhibition last year, the author has already determined the future of five works, four will be given to the halychyna public initiative to raise funds for the military, and the artist gave another work to the ivano-frankivsk regional museum of local lore, this is mine. .. a painting project that is separate from my graphic one there are works in computer graphics, posters, and they are created gradually, my dream is to make a very large exhibition, and this is a slightly different language than what my audience is used to, because usually i am used to being perceived as

read more on our website espresso.tv and on our social networks, join, like, my colleagues will continue, don't switch, stay with the espresso team. congratulations, the real front program is on the air, and i, taras berezovyts, am with you. today in our program we will talk about the following: the head of the gur of the ministry of defense of ukraine. kyrylo budanov gave a long interview to german journalists. britain and

france called on the nuclear countries to be held accountable. israel withdraws its troops from the southern gaza strip. combined the states have warned beijing about the consequences in case of providing military aid to moscow. kyrylo budana, the head of the defense ministry of ukraine, in an interview with the german. tv channel confirmed that the russian army will launch a new offensive in donbass at the end of spring, at the beginning of summer this year. the day before, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, general oleksandr syrsky , announced in his telegram channel that the situation east of chasovoy yar and klishchiivka in the bakhmut direction, in the area of ​​berdychiv, orlivka, vodyanyi, and pervomaisky in the avdiiv direction remains particularly difficult. novopavlovskyi. in the novomykhaivka district. earlier

, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, announced a new wave of attacks from russia at the end of spring and the beginning of summer. what the head of military intelligence of ukraine told german journalists. see further in our story. ukraine needs long-term support from partner countries in the fight against the russian invaders. every day for more than two years, the city and villages in different regions of ukraine are suffering from the armed aggression of the russian federation, kharkiv and sumy region are currently suffering the most. the kremlin wants make them unfit for life and subjugate them. russia bombards kharkiv every day with various types of weapons several times a day. every day and every night, rockets and shahedis fly at peaceful kharkiv. civil and energy infrastructure will be hit. international publications predict a likely second attack on the city. therefore, the ukrainian side is considering the option of forced evacuation of the population. the situation in sumy oblast is no less threatening. the russian federation drops guided aerial bombs on cities and villages.

civilian infrastructure and people come under fire. there are victims and the dead at the same time, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups often try to enter the territory of ukraine through sumy oblast. after putin again became the president of the russian federation, he may plan the occupation of kharkiv, and after that the gradual completion of the so-called svo, according to the sources of the russian medusa. as the publication notes, the kremlin believes that they have enough. power to buy kharkiv. at the same time, in an interview with ukrinform, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrskyi said that if russian troops try to advance on kharkiv again, the city can become difficult for them. we already have the experience of combat operations in the kharkiv region, we managed to miscalculate the enemy and liberate a large part of the kharkiv region. it was then that the large-scale collapse of the russian front took place. if the russians go there again, kharkiv will become a fatal city for them. but of course, each military operation is unique in its own way. and simply using her conditional tracing paper in the next situation at the front will not succeed under any circumstances. modern warfare is a mathematical

problem with hundreds of variables in which each ingredient can be crucial. ukraine needs taurus cruise missiles, because they have significantly strengthened the defense forces' ability to resist the russian federation. this was stated by the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine kyrylo budano in an interview with the german tv channel. taoros would definitely make our lives easier. to hit command centers, to hit very important targets, it's a great weapon. head gur budanov called the situation at the front difficult, but under control. at the same time , he predicts that the russian federation will make an intensive offensive may... start already at the end of spring, in particular near donetsk. we expect an increase in russian offensive actions in late spring and early summer, especially in the donbas region. they will advance a little to the temporal ravine, move towards pokrovsk in the strategic direction to pokrovsk. currently , ukraine urgently needs an additional number of artillery systems and an additional

amount of ammunition - says budanov. at the initiative of the czech republic, various eu countries, including germany, united. for the purchase of hundreds of thousands of artillery shells for the world market. at the same time, so far the head of gur does not feel this supply of ammunition at the front. without long-term support, it will be catastrophically difficult for ukraine - says budanov. he expects a significant rise in the defense industry in europe this year. budano hopes that the eu will compensate for the lack of us aid, said in an interview with the german tv channel ard. interview of the chapter. kyryla abudanova came out at an extremely important moment. we see that the situation commented on by the chief ukrainian military intelligence officer looks so important and critical that he even decided to give a forecast about the direction of the future russian offensive. kyrylo budanov believes that the russians may try to organize offensive actions in

the direction of the city of pokrovsk, donetsk region. let me remind you, it is located on the way to one of the largest ukrainian industrial centers of the millionaire city of dnipro. it is critically important for the russian army to cut strategic arteries, to try to occupy the rest of the donetsk region, because vladimir putin set a task for the russian armed forces back in 2022 to finally occupy the territories of luhansk and donetsk regions. and even set a deadline for shoigu. all this was supposed to happen by july 1 , 2022, however, as we can see, almost two years later, the russian armed forces are still unable to fulfill this task. this greatly annoys the russian dictator and deals a blow to the prestige of the russian armed forces. therefore, one can not doubt the authenticity of general kirill budanov's forecast, because he understands exactly what

the russian federation is going to do. meanwhile, in... ukrainian military intelligence this week struck another painful blow, setting fire to the russian ship serpukhov, and doing it thousands of kilometers from ukraine. we can see that the capabilities of ukrainian military intelligence have grown incomparably since the beginning of the russian full-scale invasion, the group 13 unit of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense has become a real terror for the russian occupiers. the head of the british foreign office , david cameron, and the french foreign minister, stéphane sojourne, wrote a joint column in the telegraph, entitled the world is safer for news entente. in it , they emphasize that dark times have come in the world because of russia's war against ukraine and the situation in the middle east. they also

assure that they are united by the understanding that ukraine should win the war, and both nuclear countries. must take responsibility for this and do even more to defeat putin's russia. at the same time, the american publication z new york times writes: "the idea of ​​joining ukraine to the alliance is currently not supported by the united states and germany." according to matthew, a representative of the us state department miller, ukraine can join nato only after the end of the war started by the russian federation. while world leaders are arguing about ukraine's membership in the alliance, the plan of the russian attack. on nato countries, published at the beginning of 2024, unfolds as if according to notes. we will remind that at the beginning of february, the same publication z telegram published a scenario according to which russia could attack nato countries. it was to be preceded by several phases. in the spring, russia was supposed to mobilize at least 200,000 people and

launch a new offensive in ukraine, and all this in combined with the absence of arms supplies from the united states. in the summer of 2024 , cyber-attacks on the baltic countries and inciting disturbances among the middle-class russians living in these countries were predicted. in the fall of 2024, according to this plan, russia will use artificially created unrest as an excuse to start military exercises in belarus and kaliningrad. and in the winter of 2024, the time will come for a border conflict in the suvalk corridor. a little earlier, a similar plan was published by the german bild. more details about russia's possible confrontation with nato in our plot. russian president putin is preparing for war against the north. the atlantic alliance. the russian federation openly threatens the countries that are members of nato in order to deter the west and creates informational conditions to justify the expected long-term geopolitical

confrontation with the west. the institute for the study of war writes about it. the russian foreign ministry's statement on april 5 followed several months of kremlin threats against armenia, in response to armenia's ongoing efforts to obtain new western security guarantees and attempts to accuse armenia of deterioration of russian-armenian relations. relations , the russian foreign ministry also continues to threaten finland and has argued that finland has lost its independence in making foreign policy decisions after joining nato, a narrative regularly used by the kremlin to falsely claim that nato controls ukraine and uses ukraine to threaten russia. swedish army lieutenant colonel joakim paasikivi said that russia will take great risks if it considers the west to be weak. at the same time, ex-ministers of defense of great britain are ahead. that the country's government does not was able to prepare for a possible war with russia, as an effort of the entire nation, writes ukrinform. the british publication the telegraph writes that in the event of a potential russian

aggression, the north atlantic alliance will not be able to quickly deploy its troops. bureaucratic delays at the border and logistical problems can prevent this. in the same article, the retired general of the dutch army, hans damen, did not rule out that russia could attack a nato country. will do it in his usual style. i 'm afraid that if there really is a threat, russia may not attack europe, but may accidentally cross the border of poland. ukrainian experts also do not rule out the possibility of russia's appetite for nato countries, but only under one condition, if the war in the country is frozen, if the active phase of hostilities stops, then russia will have the opportunity to restore its resources, compensate for losses, and use potential. of his military-industrial complex for the accumulation of mechanized components, then putin will definitely feel that he has the ability to do so, oleksandr kovalenko is convinced. i will give an example, but what

this is a year, in fact, the suspension of active hostilities, intensive hostilities, a year is 12 months, every month russia has the opportunity to restore from 205 to 300 tanks, so for a year this will be an indicator of at least, well, let’s say, an average of 300 tanks, and here is such an indicator, they have the opportunity to restore at least the same number of armored combat vehicles, so it will be the same number of armored combat vehicles, and even in two years russia will have much more potential. than as of february 23, 2022 in quantity, not in terms of quality, because there will be t-62, t-54-55 tanks, maybe even t-34, but these will be

combat units that must also be used with some means of defeat, a combat unit that can perform its functionality as an armored equipment, heavy or medium or lightly armored equipment. oleksandr kovalenko does not rule out the possibility that putin... can put pressure on lukashenko and incite an attack by nato countries. at the same time, according to the expert, lukashenko is not ready to lose his army, so help to belarus may consist in providing weapons and its own territory for shelling of other countries. what will it give to lukashevich. lukashenko will give the loss of his own army, completely. he may lose his entire own army. and what lukashenko is counting on, in principle, he counted. to transfer his power in the future to one of his sons, and if he is going to transfer belarus, transfer the dictatorship from

hand to hand, then he must hand it over together with the power element, the power structure, if this power was kept in his hands , and it is impossible to do this if, for example, you do not have one combat-capable army, well, combat-capable from the conditions against whom? against, again, the defense forces of ukraine or against nato, no, combat-capable against its own population, against belarus, so he needs it, and he will not waste it, he will do everything not to hand over the army to putin, and he is doing it already from 2022. former prime minister of great britain, and now the head of the foreign office. david cameron and his french counterpart, the minister of foreign affairs, stéphane sejrunet, made an extremely ambitious statement, their initiative is actually a revival. heartfelt

union, which was created exactly 120 years ago. but there is an important nuance here: at that time , three states were the founders of the entente: the british empire, france, and the russian empire. after the bolshevik coup, through the efforts of lenin's party, russia left the union with great britain and france, and it was in such a duo that france, great britain, and the united states. who joined the allies, ended the first world war with victory. the irony of fate is that the now revived entente, consisting of great britain and france, will already fight with its former ally, russia. it is interesting that the entente already has the experience of a successful amphibious operation on the territory of ukraine. let me remind you, after the bolshevik coup and the proclamation

of the ukrainian people's republic. the entente intervened in the territory of present-day ukraine. then the troops of the entente landed in the crimea, as well as the present odesa region and controlled a huge territory along the coast of the black sea. however, the successful propaganda of the bolshevik agitators forced the entente troops to complete this operation, let's call them a special military operation against the bolsheviks and evacuate the allied troops. from the territory of the current ukraine, as they like to say in moscow, we can repeat, this is what the current french president emmanuel macron repeatedly emphasized when he spoke about ambitious plans to support ukraine, including at the expense of military contingents of nato countries. there is currently no answer as to whether the entente has a chance to be revived, but it would be an irony

of fate if it really happened before this one. entente alliance of great britain, france, ukraine itself eventually joined, and this bloc will oppose, as we already understand, russia. the israel defense forces, the tzahal , withdrew its units from the southern gaza strip on the night of sunday, april 7. but the war with hamas is still ongoing and is far from over, tshal chief of staff gertius hallevi said. however , already on april 8, the prime minister of israel, betamine netanyahu, in a video published on the x social network , announced that the israel defense forces already have a date for the start of the ground military offensive on the city of rafah in the southern part of the gaza strip. according to netanyahu, there is an operation in rafah necessary for a complete victory over the palestinian terrorist group

hamas. more. see our next story for details on the situation in the middle east. negotiations between israel and the hamas group on a ceasefire and the exchange of hostages have reached an impasse. according to reuters, on april 8, egyptian mediators said that there is progress in the negotiations between israel and hamas. both sides reached a certain agreement on the main issues. israeli foreign minister israel katz named cairo. negotiations are the closest to the agreement since the november armistice. we have reached a critical point in the negotiations, if we succeed, a large number of hostages will return home. but already on april 10 , reuters reported that hamas denied the progress in the negotiations. hamas said on tuesday that israel's proposal for a ceasefire in its war in the gaza strip does not meet

the requirements. militant groups, but he will further study the proposal and convey his response to the mediators. the proposal was passed on to the palestinian islamist movement by the egyptian and by qatari mediators at talks in cairo aimed at finding a way out of the devastating gas war, now in its seventh month. on the eve of april 7, israel withdrew all ground forces from southern gaza except for one brigade, the times of israel reported. at night, the idf withdrew all ground troops from the southern gaza strip after four months of continuous fighting in the khan younis area. now there is only one nahal brigade left in the gas sector. the nahal brigade is tasked with ensuring the safety of the so-called the netzarim corridor, which crosses gas from the beri district in southern israel to the coast of the strip. the corridor allows the israel defense forces to conduct raids in northern and central gaza. not until
