today here in the local church of the nativity of the most holy theotokos, father ivan rabaruk, together with his friends, priests, began the service. midnight at 12 o'clock, it lasted all night and until the very morning, around eight in the morning, locals, as well as many guests and tourists who came to kryvorivna, consecrated easter baskets, i will say that this holiday is traditionally celebrated massively and festively in gosuchin, in particular in kryvorivna, there are also such pre-easter traditions here that are characteristic of kryvorivna as well, other neighboring villages of the gila region, in particular. where, on the eve of easter, children go from house to house and say three times to warm up, warm up the grandfathers, and the owners actually take out goodies, candies, fruits, cookies, buns, also to the nearest children, easter eggs or

even larger toys are also given to neighbors and relatives, and these traditions continue directly on easter itself and the entire easter cycle. when the easter service continues, for example, they remember relatives who are buried in the cemetery next to, which is located next to the church of the nativity of the most holy theotokos, they actually light candles, pray, this continues even during the night, when the festive service begins, well, in fact, this kind of commemoration of the dead, connection with the souls of previous generations, the very next sunday after. easter, after easter, when graves are consecrated in local cemeteries, they also give out so-called money orders for people who are poor, for relatives, for the repose of certain souls, they say, we give you for the repose of this or that, for the soul of this or that person, well

accordingly, the locals answer, forgive me, may god accept, actually such an ancient tradition that is inherent in this region. a lot of residents come together, who come from different places in order to visit their homes, in the mountains, stay with relatives, visit the cemetery and actually honor their own in this way. the christian husuv family, well, you see, today in the mountains, in the carpathians , the summer weather is already so good, there are many guests, many tourists, there were even many of our colleagues from various international agencies, who recorded exactly these traditions that are preserved in gosuvenia, in particular in kryvorivnia, i will say that kryvorivnia is known not only for its nature, beauty, for a time and that, but at one time ivan franko, lesya ukrainka, mykhailo hrushevskyi, kotsyuminskyi wrote here the shadows of forgotten ancestors, later. paradzhanov removed this is also where the movie with the same name is filmed, so there are many reasons to come here to

the state, in particular to kryvoriv, ​​in order to enjoy your native land, native land, and communicate with local residents. christ is risen, risen for ukraine. colleagues he is risen indeed. thank you ivan, it was incredible, the atmosphere there is such that i want to go to your place. i will remind our viewers that it was our ivan haruk, he showed how... ukrainian traditions in the carpathians. for now, this is all the news i have as of this hour, and if you want to know more interesting and relevant information, follow the updates on our website espresso.tv, as well as in our social networks. next, my colleagues lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk are waiting for you on the air. don't switch, see you. dear friends, the final hour of our first

part is on the air on the espresso tv channel, i will remind you that today andriy seichuk and i are working for you during this festive sunday of the resurrection of the lord, i will also remind you that on these festive days we have to share with by those who need ours help, with those to whom we should be very grateful for what they do. i mean our military, i would like to remind you that we have a collection going on and it is huge, we have to collect 4 million, but i think that with your help we will be able to do it very soon, yesterday you donated the incredible amount of uah 100,000, this record for this week, he had a hard time this week with the meetings, but 1000 in one day, it's just an incredible result, today i understand that this result will be less, that you celebrate... with your families, who manages to celebrate that to see each other, share prayers and

festive mood, but also share the donation with our military, they need atvs to evacuate them from the battlefield, they need atvs to deliver ammunition to the battlefield, they need your help , because they do what allows us to feel these holidays as holidays, every hryvnia, no matter how small this one is... but it is important, in this way we will soon collect the necessary 4 million, so far we have the 40th part of this amounts, i hope that for some, if we move normally at 100,000 every day, then in 40 days we will manage to do all this, i also want to show you, because now we will talk about the front and about the war, i want to show you one photo that really struck me, this photo on easter easter, which was baked by our military, and they baked it in a shell casing, this is how

this paska looks like, this is a photo of anna baranesco, i saw it on the resource of sister kyu, it is a ukrainian-polish edition, and this paska, it certainly impresses , these are the realities in which we now live, and the realities in which people live our military, but despite that, even in the conditions in which they find themselves, they... are trying to protect our traditions, which the enemy is trying to destroy together with us, and mykola malomush, general of the army of ukraine, head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine in 2005 - 2010 is already with us, and we will actually talk about the front and about our military, mr. mykola, christ is risen, yes, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, glory, mr. mykola, they will say that the institute for the study of war, which the russians are pushing northwest from avdiivka, but... theirs the final goal is not clear, is it clear to you, now the goal of the russians, who after

the reed attack are pressing north of davdiivka, there are various assumptions, what they actually demand, what they are trying to do, the enemy is trying to break through several operational sectors precisely in order to advance on konstantinivka , to kramatorsk to slavyansk, but this is from the position of both avdiyivka and... it is a temporary gap, so the two main points that he took aim at today are really the avdiivka direction and knocking our troops out of the temporal gap, which they are unable to do , ago that we destroyed... a huge number every day, and it is clear that first intercepting strategic communications, then its tactical initiative for an offensive, even striking our defense line, which they created there in the aldiiv direction, and then , accordingly, from several directions to carry out coordinated strikes, hiding the rear and flanks of our troops, this is all the strategy of the russian

federation, therefore avdiivka is one of the directions of implementation, but we know these plans institutionally. war simply does not have specific information, but our military and directly, who is responsible for this direction, are monitoring all enemy positions, where they are moving troops, how they are advancing, to some extent, taking into account the shortage of ammunition, we are withdrawing to other positions, but what is important, we are already counterattacking, ammunition and weapons are coming, the next two weeks , i think that it will already be a systemic e increase, especially on these directions near. especially near the temporal ravine, of course, and the enemy is preparing powerful positions in other sectors, there we also deploy reserve forces and strike groups, well of course, the high-tech weapons that today come from britain, germany, france, the scandinavian countries, and of course a large package from the united states of america, that is, there will be no surprises,

we will continue to maneuver, maybe even retreat to fortified areas, but in the future... a situation will develop that is not expected for the enemy, but this is already a matter for the general staff, where to prepare for counterattacks, and here are all the conversations, which from time to time arise again, about the fact that they can strike the sumy there, to kharkiv, or indeed , the russians can secretly prepare large reserves for this, well today there is nothing invisible, because we work with our partners, this is a national security agency that has billions of information. classified primarily by the russian federation, what the political leadership of russia is planning, what the ministry of defense and general staff are planning, which sectors are priority, and most importantly, other types of intelligence - this is space, technical, computer, intelligence, military, border , records all the movements of the enemy's troops, therefore beloved concentrations near the direction, for example,

kupyansk or further along the border from the kharkiv region on the border with sumy. we see these groups, for example, in the kupinsky direction , the group is constantly increasing to 100-120 thousand, just representatives of the aggressive forces, about 100, about 1, 1,200 tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles - this is a powerful strike group that must go to kupynsk, further develop the offensive on kharkiv, but we have already calculated it all, there have already been several attempts to conduct test strikes, we rejected and destroyed them, even with the generators... such forces, for example, whether in the kharkiv direction, in another place, or in sumy, all the more, to keep active both on the time ravine, and on avdiivka, and robotono, and, accordingly, in the krinks, it is extremely difficult, for this you need more than a million even for such aggressive forces, which do not count from manpower and equipment, throw eyes, these sectors, in fact,

systematically organize, a global strategic offensive. ask one of these districts for sums, kharkiv is unrealistic, the more we know these plans, the more they launch as fake ones in order to move in other sectors, landed today, putin is asking the question of capturing donetsk, luhansk completely, unhooking it and entering the kharkiv region, they do not foresee time for kharkiv, because it is a powerful dill region, then advance to novopavlyk, in lydar, of course, it is to win back rabotino and precisely verbove. where to have a more advantageous position for striking zaporizhzhia, and to limit our possibilities of strikes on the logistics of the eastern direction, because from the position now, where we we are here, verbove, with robots, long-range artillery, rockets, we take out the logistics centers of the enemy, and if they move somewhere closer to zaporizhzhia, then of course, it will be more limited, well, the obvious point is that

putin's otlomozol is the krynyk, it is our marines, it is that that we repeatedly talked about the fact that non-standard actions allow or bind large enemy positions, as we can see, several hundred, but powerful, motorized paratroopers hold the division and more enemy, the airborne division, this is an elite division, as they count, but if such forces, special operations forces, airborne troops, airborne troops of ukraine, strategic counterattacks can also deploy them , and the prospects are if we receive all packages of weapons in full. munitions technology, as well as the procurement of what we envisage together under the procurement program and our military industry will master all programs on drones, on missiles, and middle youth. up to 300 km for mortars, for ammunition, this will already be a big, so to speak, cooperative moment that will create strategic parity with russia, but in a technological format will have an advantage, this

it will be our time for us to carry out specific operations in these directions and launch powerful counterattacks, by the way, this technological advantage became very evident, even when the russians were now dreaming up the idea of ​​exhibiting trophy equipment in moscow, on the eve of may 9. and what can be seen that these 34 exhibits, although for some reason there even appeared among them the marder of 1940 of a certain year, i do not know why they shoved it into this exposition of the second world war, but less so, but all drew attention to the fact that western technology, swedish, german, american, it did not detonate anywhere in any case, it was not completely burned out anywhere, for example, the chimp tank, this is what we saw in... on the other hand, in kyiv, for example, what we saw was that all, all the russian equipment was the background, literally destroyed as a result of the detonation, there and so on,

that is, it shows, for sure, this advantage of western weapons, but the questions i wanted to ask is what the national security advisor to the president of the united states, jake sullivan, said that ukraine will have enough 61 billion aid package to withstand this. year, and next year, if the usa provides assistance, then ukraine may even plan another counteroffensive, if the russians fail to achieve their minimum goals this year, to go, for example, to the borders of donetsk , donetsk region, donbas, they will find themselves, and their reserves will not be enough, they will also find themselves at a new fork, conditionally speaking, what will their actions be, will they announce to the masses? in your opinion, well, first of all, we are talking about the fact that yes, the package of 61 billion is very important for this year, but the american initiative allocate

an additional 50 billion dollars together with the europeans, this will strengthen precisely the capabilities and supplies of already high-tech armed equipment, such as the atakamsa, this is the stromshadow, this is precisely the ska and other powerful strike systems, along with ... missiles that have a range of up to 300 km and drones up to 2-2 km, this will create the prerequisites for a new war, the destruction of reserves on distant approaches, or at places of deployment, airfields, launchers and powerful systems that neutralize, in fact , all concentrations of military training centers, the movement of equipment, the movement of manpower to the front, exactly it is more effective to destroy there when they are not expecting it, i know my great practices from activity, so the main time the center is to destroy the enemy even in its territory or in the occupied territories, when they have not yet reached the front, and of course strategic objects that

create a threat of strikes, ballistic missiles, the raising of strategic bombers and tactical, also, these are ammunition depots, these are oil depots, these are control centers, they will devalue and completely decapitate the entire front zone of the enemy, and these are just new strategies, as we we say, the preparation of not only measures to repel the enemy, accordingly, powerful fortifications, preparation is unexpected for the enemy, powerful counterattacks, i think that they should grow into a number of sectors along the strategic direction, along the salted territory, and this may be the 24th year, i think that the second half may be, by that time we will receive the majority, almost 90% of the entire armament of ammunition and purchase what we planned today, as well as our military equipment for seven or eight. months should speed up all the programs we talked about, this and more than a million drones, this is many, many hundreds of missiles, various types and types of weapons, ammunition of our own production.

this is what is created before the conditions of preference. why am i talking so fast? because russia is also gradually, as we said a year ago, urgent to act in the 23rd year, non-standard, and not to move on the teeth of the dragon, but mine fields, strikes in other places, well then a different decision was made. and russia is ready... we saw what was set for the ministry of defense, putin was personally present at the collegium for half a year to raise everything in russia, and we then gave them half a year until they raised it yet, this is our period when we must actively and effectively strike, they are not ready, but we delayed, we understood this process as a very, you know, inefficient delivery by our allies, weapons, equipment that could be used not to be at the front. that's why the delay really played such a negative role and we couldn't start to clear the territory, the enemy has prepared, so i have some advantages, at the moment we are now building up our resources,

the enemy... goes in the next format of his forces and means and military equipment, but we get high-precision weapons, as we said, drones, non-standard systems that ensure the shooting down of both ballistic missiles and cruise missiles, and electronic shields, these are powerful radioton systems that protect against ballistics, cruise missiles and aircraft and helicopters and drones, that is, this format involves not only effective countermeasures against the enemy, preparation... then it is clear that our armed forces of ukraine with high-precision weapons, having previously worked just as well as possible the main forces, strikes of special forces operations and, of course, the destruction of those deep reserves that the enemy can reach and logistical routes, including the kerch bridge and the eastern logistics corridor, these are just the general features in order to be able to start and complete the process of liberating

more territories of ukraine in the 24-25th year. the fact that the united states somehow, you know, lifted the ban on what targets ukraine can determine for itself to defeat, what does this mean, somehow the attitude of the united states to this war has changed? we are on all channels, not only political, diplomatic, but operational communicated and worked with all representatives of the american, so to speak, elite, this country, the white house. congress and not only democrats and republicans, the military, especially the sector, the defense-industrial sector, and a clear position, as the europeans, and they have now realized everything, not supporting ukraine on the battlefield, it is clear the prospects of their direct participation in the war, and this has been repeatedly repeated by macron, scholz, sunak and cameron, literally, if we do not help ukraine, we will have to

participate in the war, and it will die our people and johnson, who brought the package to a vote in the us congress, said: "if we give ukraine weapons, ammunition, it is clear that americans must fight and americans will die. now this argument has already prevailed, and this argument assumes that weapons, which is provided, is freely used by ukraine for all purposes, including the territory of the russian federation. conditionally, for example, russia receives weapons from iran, from north korea and strikes all over." the territory of ukraine, it is not limited to some separate sectors there, only the military zero, hits and po lviv, he is hitting in khmelnytsk, and in dozheshchyna, in odesa, in other places, why, whatever restrictions there may be, it is the aggressor who is hitting, and we are defending ourselves, and according to the un charter, we have the right to defense, and countries have the right to help, without restricting us to partially hit the aggressor only in the occupied territory, do not move further, the question was simply raised

improperly, well, i am direct... this is just such an undermining of our capabilities, especially in the 23rd year, regarding active and effective actions for offensive operations, which would already give the prospect of liberating more territories, and with the success of the situation and the liberation of crimea, that is why the situation is changing, the realization that one has to take risks is already coming, of course, and the permission to use weapons is already coming, because at the moment, all the warnings, they have been ignored. an active role in the 23rd year regarding the possibility of effective, active, strategic actions of the armed forces of ukraine. well, mr. mykola, thank you very much for this conversation, mykola malamush, general of the army of ukraine, head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine was with us on this easter day and we talked about really, really good hopes, good news for us, the americans have given help, help is coming in, the ratings are

satisfactory enough, i liked it, you know. as recently as may 1, four days ago, the collaborator rogov, this guy from zaporizhzhia was, you know, a homeless weirdo who is for russia, they all got, but they are so pro-russian, all those pro-russian city sumashets got very big social elevators, now they appear on the central channels of russian , the best elevator was in streimausov, well , he was, you know, he zigzagged up and down and underground even a little bit, that is , such, that is, he thought that the upper floor was over there, and you...
