the head of the press service of the 26th artillery brigade named after general horunzhovo told on espress. oleg kalashnikov , the occupiers are forced to storm dakevych head-on with heavy losses, as they are unable to bypass the city from the flanks, where units of the armed forces of ukraine are firmly holding their positions. let's listen to what oleg kalashnikov said. it is these positions of ours that prevent the enemy from creating exactly that here is such a south-southern flank. that is, to take in the ring. as he did it in some other places, he doesn't succeed with that zhovdiivka, so he tries to storm right in the forehead. in addition, i understand that he has deadlines that he is trying to fulfill, it is may 9, and therefore he really does not spare any effort or resources, which are now being thrown at the assault. mr. major, how do you

assess the current situation in the east, you know very well these places that are reported. summary of our representatives of the press services of different factions, what is happening there now in your estimation, how is the enemy advancing quickly and what can happen after the enemy enters during the yar? well, let's be frank, i heard mr. syrskyi say that after the time of yar the enemy will try to go to slavyansk-kramatorsk, at the same time i said... that after the time of yar the enemy will, in addition to looking at the side of sloviansk kramatorsk will still try to put pressure on kostiantynka with the further development of success, if it is for him, well, we are now talking about the accounts of their probable intentions, with the further direction to pokrovsk, the issue of avdiivsk, pokrovsk direction, we are already talking with you, as avdiivsko-pokrovsk,

unfortunately, avdiivka is no longer ours, after the lastochkino redoubt, as i call it, was breached. it was clear that the enemy would continue to deepen, if i am not mistaken, they have already deepened almost 12 km, wedged into our defenses, and this is a very bad story, especially in the ocheretino area, again, having entered the ocheretino area, they they look again at the kostiantynivka-pokrovsk track, it creates a lot a serious overhang of a large, so to speak cornice over our ugledar, and the ugledar now, in addition to restraining blows from the front. he will also deter attacks from the flank, and this is a very serious threat to its exit, well, the russians are exactly in this position, who will pose threats to our defenders of the ugledar, including, and as for the direction of sloviansk, well, so far sloviansk is only are being bombed, but we are looking at how at the moment

uah 3 million is allocated for the landscaping of kramatorsk through the prozoro system, well, honestly. saying i don't know how how to say how to comment on the idiocy of this situation, well, but i want to tell you that uah 15 million has also been allocated for road repairs in the settlement of kostyantynivka, well, what else can i say, what signals are we still missing in order to assess the possibilities of this trend that is happening in our heads our officials, they spent less money on the purchase of barbed wire for defensive structures than on asphalting to... them in kostyantynivka, which is less than 20 km away, let's say, to the front line, there is less distance, well, what are we talking about we can still talk, but analyzing the situation on... the fronts cannot be ignored, certain small successes can also be overlooked, namely the expansion of the bridgehead on the left bank

of the kherson region, its expansion, and plus a little deepening, not over a long distance, certainly not by kilometers, we are still what we are measuring, but considering that we had a very serious shortage of shells to cover our bridgehead in the kherson region, on the left bank, of course, it worked quite well, as fpv. the drones that cover this bridgehead, as well as our marines, who are entrenched on that bridgehead, and this is quite a good story, so to speak, but there must be at least some positive side. if you look at the distance to the borders of the occupied crimea from our bridgehead, then this distance is an order of magnitude smaller than the one we worked out, where we tried to go last summer in the counteroffensive to the occupation to the borders of the occupied crimea, well... somewhere like that, let's say, i draw attention today to the map of hostilities precisely in this context: defensive structures for our defenders, an unclear position regarding the asphalting of roads,

and at the same time, of course, the situation of where the russian forces are hanging around, so to speak , now there is information that there is allegedly a large encirclement of a group of ukrainian troops near turetsk being prepared, and so on, i cannot analyze it, because at least for this you need to have an operational situation with... some western countries do not object to ukraine using their weapons on the territory of russia, the newly appointed minister of foreign affairs of latvia, baiba braje, said this in an interview with european pravda, let's hear what she said. but already are there any countries that have already provided weapons to ukraine without such restrictions? indeed? absolutely. of course, not everything is announced publicly, and it is even better not to say it out loud until a certain time. the main thing is the influence on the battlefield, because here there is a choice whether to speak loudly about something or simply do what is necessary. mr. major,

what the minister of foreign affairs of latvia is saying means that it is obvious that the capabilities of the armed forces of ukraine regarding strikes on the territory of russia will be expanded, as far as the transfer of hostilities to the territory of the russian federation can change the situation at the front. will it change, well, of course it will change, because without transferring the war to the territory of the aggressor, this war can last forever for them, but a very short period of time for us, and this is understandable, because our economy will be depleted, our soldiers will run out, and the russian everything will be fine, they are fine, at the same time the strikes on the oil infrastructure, and in particular on the refineries, we see the reaction of representatives, some representatives, including the united states, who say no, no, because prices will rise . for fuel, well igor lapin, just like all normal, conscious citizens, understand that the question of survival, economic survival of russia lies in the same plane, and will

we survive then, because if russia survives, then we will definitely not be there, and this everyone understands everything, so i will welcome any strikes on the oil infrastructure of the novorossiysk transshipment base, and like all normal, conscious citizens, i will look at oil prices, but i will also understand... what is the essence of the reason, by the way, i want to remind that during the war in iraq, nato allies were not strong allies the united states, or rather, had a ceremony with saddam hussein's oil industry, well , they didn't pay much attention there to see what oil prices would be, the more oil prices can collapse saudi arabia, which can play along with the western world here, if necessary, so i say it again , the opec countries are not only russia, which is stuck somewhere, it is much more powerful. structure as to the prospects of such blows, i doubt very much that we shall get a storm-shed tomorrow, and even more doubt that we shall will allow them to be used on the territory

of russia, although, on the other hand, some unmanned technologies, unmanned devices, with which we are now successfully taking out russian refineries, i think can be useful to us. russia will understand only if it gets in the pocket, including, i want to congratulate gazprom, they are eye to eye. large profits in the 23rd year have now shown unprofitability and their shares have fallen by 4%. i congratulate russian gazprom and hope that this trend will continue in the coming years. well, that's how i feel today to these international statements, but i want to say that for me there is a very unpleasant statement about some representatives of nato itself, that zelenska may come to the washington summit to stand somewhere there as an extra next to the others. by representatives of two nato member countries, and the second statement, which confused me, is that ukraine cannot now become a nato member, because it has problems, and at the same time, as soon as

it is... the issue is resolved, that ukraine can save europe from its problems, then it will quickly become a nato country. that is, while in we can't give them a headache, and if they have a headache, then they will call us to protect them, well, to be honest, this, unfortunately, the cynicism of some statements kills me, and on the other hand , i perfectly understand that the world is not ukrainian-centric, and i emphasize that if it were not for western aid, you and i would be partisans somewhere in the forest area. of the carpathian mountains, so of course i thank our western partners, but still i believe that russia should be dumped economically by the whole world, and this will be the main, main way to our victories, by the way, maybe you, as a journalist , heard how the meeting of political advisers ended on april 27 in qatar, it turns out that there was some kind of meeting there, or it was on the eve of the swiss summit, maybe there is some news, because, to be honest, i am nowhere.. .

i can’t find it, but the meeting was like that, the meeting was like that, and they discussed zelenskyi’s formula, zelenskyi’s peace formula, well , i personally always say that this peace formula from zelenskyi should be presented not only as a peace formula in switzerland. for ukraine, but also a peace formula for the whole world, because the security system that existed until february 24 , 2022 collapsed, it is gone, and it would be right if... volodymyr zelenskyy came to this summit and said: listen, let's talk not only about the peace formula for ukraine, because the formula for peace for ukraine depends on whether russia will exist in that form and whether this putin's russia will be racist, let's talk about what to do in this world in general, because there is one aggressor who threatens everyone, the entire planet earth. it seems to me, mr. major, that such a conversation was possible

would be and it was. logically, i don't know what you think about this, it seems to me that the expansion of this framework of the peace formula for europe, for the world, would give ukraine the opportunity to show that it is in the context of global trends, and that is, ukraine is ready to become a part of this security system, if not in the nato system, now, then in the system of some european security structure, which can be parallel, for example, from the north. well, look, i can agree with you on many points, but in general, for me, the issue of pacifying aggression, the aggressor or the peace formula is not very to my liking for one simple reason: it lacks four beautiful letters, they are called nato, the peace formula from zelenskyi does not contain a single sentence regarding ukraine's membership in nato, and therefore this question of our security should then consist in what and that is exactly why this question is

very key, if it will be formed. the new collective security system of the world, then it is clear how it will work, but in the word formula of peace from zelensky, i do not see the formation of some key collective security on a global scale, so this too, it will not be discussed in switzerland, then what will this talk about, well, about the fact that 80 countries will say that they recognize our territorial integrity, well, china also says that it recognizes our territorial integrity, but this does not prevent them from helping the russians. to make high-tech weapons, or by providing some dual-use goods there, or by allowing north korea to supply missiles to russia, roughly speaking, directly, well, we hear statements from chinese partners that they are against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, nevertheless sidzinpyts is meeting with lukashenka, who declared to the whole world that putin gave him nuclear weapons, and putin confirmed that he gave lukashenka nuclear weapons, so i'm up to that...
