, went to defend ukraine with the beginning of a full-scale invasion. currently serves in the third separate assault brigade of a defender with the call sign gas. my colleagues will tell. member of the national cycling team of ukraine, master sports, a member of the italian club. the hero of our story changed all these majestic titles to one simple and short one - military. boris , originally from bila tserkva, grew up here and professionally engaged in cycling. he shares that after many years of sports career, he was called to become a coach in italy, but he refused and returned to his homeland. he developed his own business, opened. stores, the last of them was on sofiyivska borshchagivka, from there he joined the buchansky dftg from the first days of the full-scale invasion, and then a new chapter in his life began under in the name of war. on the 26th, i came to the military commissariat, like everyone else, as almost all of ukraine came to us then, all the guys who have

an understanding of what slavery is and what the will is, wrote down my data, but i was not called then, because i did military service. i was in the sports company, i was in the team of the national team of ukraine, i went through the sports company, as a military military officer, i didn’t know, just that, well, they said, well, we will call you back, but two days later i returned, i understood, that over time they will not call back, and we have created the bochan dftg, after realizing that he was no longer useful in the unit, he joined the ranks of the famous. of a separate assault brigade, then boris was driven by memories of how people fled from the butch, and the russians killed ukrainians in front of his eyes. now , during the war, he equips defense structures, engages in demining, demining, and lays logistical routes. he claims that muscovites use weapons prohibited

by the geneva convention, in particular, remote mines. therefore, his field of activity is very dangerous, and he never sits without work. boris tells a story. one chevron, he was given it by the guys from the company for performing a dangerous combat task, the gas went behind the minefield to make a passage for his comrades. i wasn't sure that i would come back because, well, i was assessing the situation objectively, i understood that, because it was night, because at this moment we were also being shelled, and i had to do it quickly, and by any means must be done, and i did it. passed, made a passage, noticed him with a dim light, and then the guys followed this path, and we did our job without losses, and the guys are like that of course, the last path, a painted torpedo and a night vision device were stuck,

what i used, i looked under my feet and slowly crawled, and crawled and passed, his classmate oleksandr recalls to the common school. years and considers his friend a role model and sports star of our city. our star is the pride of the white church, because... he is a well-known cyclist in sports circles, he represented our country in italy. currently, boris has come to his hometown to see his family and undergo rehabilitation. later, he will go to front to their brothers from the third separate assault brigade, where together these brave warriors will continue to destroy the staunch enemy of the russians. there is gas in the air. olena boyko, oleksandr kuga, espresso bila tserkva. later

, marta liyarnyk and antin borkovskyi will work for you, and i'll see you at 5 p.m. well, thank you to aniy melnyk, thank you to the news editor. 11 p.m. in the next hour we will analyze all the most important political and not only political events and trends of this day in the espresso studio live by marta ulyarnyk and antin borkovskii and we will add oleg katkov , editor-in-chief of defense express, to our broadcast. mr. oleg, we welcome you to our airwaves, unfortunately, mr. oleg is not there yet, we will wait for his inclusion. yes, and an important message. this morning, russian interventionists dropped on the town. oleksievo druzhkivka, in donetsk region, a one-and-a-half-ton volumetric bomb with a

planning and correction module. a child and two adults were injured. this was announced by the head of the donetsk regional military administration. well, we understand that it is managed the enemy uses aerial bombs extremely actively and drops them on civilian cities, people die in our cities. well, but, but, but. yes, and actually, we will also speak. and about the involvement of guided air bombs by russia on the territory of ukraine, how we can counter them together with oleg katkov, who is already in contact with us, mr. oleg, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory, thank you for the invitation, i would like to start fresh information, ukraine will not receive gripen, they say that we must first undergo testing, so-called, yes the so-called testing, i outlined the f-16 so tentatively, so how do you generally evaluate it? this information, well, i personally somehow, you know, i didn’t really want them to give us everything they can give, so that it

reaches us as quickly as possible, but on the other hand, we understand that our partners and allies have their own vision regarding supplies , would like your actual assessment of the situation? first of all, i wouldn't say that the news is so frankly treasonous, that is, the headline, well, of course , many people have the headline that they say that sweden will not borrow grapes because she was persuaded and the rest, it is clickbait, but it does not convey the essence of the news itself, first of all, it consists in the fact that in general sweden was not such a strong supporter of the fact that ukraine should be supplied with aviation, it was not a pioneer in this questions, and she had to be persuaded, let's say so, in order for this conversation to begin at all. the next stage, when already such countries as the netherlands, denmark, belgium, they announced that they would be designated f-16t, the gripans were still in

a state, being discussed, that is, there was no such thing as or ukraine should get the gripan or f16, no, initially there were f16s, and from three countries at once, with the understanding that this machine is as popular as possible, for which there is appropriate armament, for which there is appropriate infrastructure, taking into account that this machine is being removed from armaments in these countries and will be removed from other countries as well. moreover , it remains directly in service with many air forces, that is, it does not die as a self-supporting platform and has a huge potential for modernization, so here is the sepro f-16. and now in this aspect, how said the minister of defense of sweden, the countries that transfer the f-16 and asked sweden to really put its plans regarding the grippen on hold in order not to interfere with... the transfer of the f-16. what does do not disturb mean? the fact is that ukraine actually has limited resources,

which can be measured, including in terms of equipment, that is , unfortunately, not every ukrainian knows how to service the f-16. it is a resource, it is necessary to teach the relevant people quite specific knowledge, it is time. not all ukrainians know how to fly fighter jets, this is also a resource, and for that it should not be washed away. then in fact the most pragmatic solution should be first one type of multifunctional machine in the form of f16-those that will be mastered, after they will be. it is possible to have a conversation about gripmans and rafales, about eurofighters, about anything in the world, but the primary task is to achieve the combat readiness of the f-16s, which are already banal, even if they were the first ones, about which an agreement has been reached, and i am perfectly fine , well, i know that the gripans have their own such

fanbase, even in ukraine there is, they say, it a great aircraft that is operated out there from the tras, but... again, the crappy operated stras, just like the f-16 is operated stras, as the f-15, fa-18 and many others are operated for all modern fighters, it a standard, absolutely standard requirement, in principle, so to say that, at the same time, again, to say that the gripen, despite all its really great advantages, features, is a wonderful machine... which merit became, made it a bestseller, it is impossible, because if the brothers exploited it, then in addition to sweden directly in nato countries, it is due to the very nice conditions regarding leasing, i.e. the planes are leased, operated by hungary and the czech republic, no one in the nato countries operates it anymore,

well, but according to the terms and pace of f-16 delivery, we understand that from... gripen is a separate story, well, as if we are preparing, and here comes the news that there by the end of this year, maybe there at the beginning of the next one, somehow again it is too somehow so badly smeared here, here is execution, supply, well, we understand that it is not cast by our ally, we understand that not only f-16 or even f-16 pilots are entering, yes, the entire infrastructure is entering, which also consists in providing anti-aircraft systems. the defense of military airfields, well, it just doesn’t happen separately during the war, we supply you with f16s, and then somewhere else we train the defense systems of these airfields, where, for example, the same f16s will spend the night, so absolutely, we are talking about what must first be deployed from the air defense defense of the bases, because in

any case, any multifunctional fighter. who will end up in ukraine, they set goals number one, and the kremlins are not all he has to destroy them on the ground, and to monitor it as much as possible in the case there, even any hint of success, because for him, well, it will be a huge victory, to override the efforts of many countries, which have really been delayed, because again, 16 were promised back in the winter of this year, now... it's about summer, and we hope that it will be about the summer of this year, at the same time, it's clear , why is there such a pause, the fact is that the usa, well, actually blocked the aid, as they call it their political clashes, the fact is the fact, the aid was adequately provided for six months, against the background of this, taking into account the fact that the armament of these planes is american, taking into account the fact that these

planes obviously needed to be modernized in order to this, by the way, was actively discussed and... it is said that the planes are transferred with certain changes, well, it depends on the united states of america, on their assistance, including provision, well, for example, let's tentatively hope for new radar stations and new long-range missiles, that is why the issue of strengthening air defense, that is, is being decided by eyewitnesses, how it will be resolved, and by the way, there is already official information from the spokesman of the air force command, it was about a month ago that he... reported that these planes f-16s will be, well, located in extremely protected places, that is, we will be talking about, well, in fact , underground facilities, where they will be located and serviced, that is, this is due to the fact that these planes will constantly be in some kind of maneuver and regularly change its air bases, that is, this

quite a large-scale infrastructure project and... one must understand that this is a global task. mr. olezh, look at sikorsky's statement , in fact, that he is the minister of foreign affairs of poland, i will remind our viewers that poland should not rule out sending troops to ukraine. there is also information that france is the first of the nato countries to send instructors to ukraine, there are certain positive signals from our partners regarding this or that role and the participation of their military. in this war, maybe not on the front line, maybe not on front, but they, well, the fact that they do not rule out such a possibility is already a positive signal for us, if we are talking about our own direction. instructors of french to ukraine, in fact, what can this give us and for what purpose will they be here and what will be the practical way out of the fact that they will arrive here? here it is important to note that

the information regarding the fact that france has already agreed and they will be there soon already in ukraine, it turned out to be a little premature, this is a strange situation, because on the one hand there is the statement of commander-in-chief syrskyi, who wrote that he had signed the relevant documents and... soon all this will begin to happen, after that there is a message from the ministry of defense of ukraine, which says that well, well, let's put it this way, no one is going anywhere yet does not go, and if this is a proposal, and the french paris official is thinking about it, well, we are talking about the actual sending of instructors, that is, it is a rather strange, miscommunication situation, but as it is, that is, it is possible, well, let's hope for something simple.. ministry of defense to say about this is in fact, not making announcements, but in any case it is about the fact that most likely yes, with a high degree of probability,

many things indicate this, even statements that came from unofficial french media, well sources in the form of conversations there about the fact that in paris they are really thinking about sending troops to ukraine, and against this background, the movement of instructors actually has a huge impact. meaning, the fact is that now, if we take france, since the 22nd year, the french armed forces have trained 10,000, well, approximately 10,000 ukrainian soldiers, the size of the training actually depends on the capacity of the french training centers, because they are designed primarily for the french armed forces, not for the ukrainian armed forces, and they cannot pause the training of their troops. therefore, in a certain way, they allocate some of their capacities there in order to train our military, in the event that french instructors, and not only french, but also from other nato countries, arrive in ukraine

on ukrainian training grounds, then this of course, we are talking about a significant, huge expansion of the number of people who will be trained according to nato instructions, and it should be understood that it is not about the fact that they will be taught a general military training course there. promises to conduct nato instructors, no, it is about the fact that we are talking about training, for example, of units in the composition of a company, battalion, preparation of relevant management decisions, that is, including commanders, coordination already under the direct, well, let's say, instruction from nato, we are talking about special training, i.e., for example, when it comes to mastering certain types of weapons, well , for example, the same tsau cesars or french... nomets, which are actively supplied, instead of conducting these trainings in france, it is possible to conduct them in ukraine, and we will have just more calculations for these systems, and we will not be tied to the french

throughput in the matter of personnel training in getting them, and so on, the list goes on and on, that is, in any case, it is as correct as possible decisions about which, in fact , they have been talking about for quite a long time that it is necessary to expand the training system, including for... due to the fact that ukraine uses a huge amount of western weapons already on the territory of ukraine. so this is a plus for us, right? as far as i understand, that is, it simplifies certain logistics and perhaps even saves the same funds that our allies allocate for the pre-training of our fighters. this pushes the limits of the training of our fighters, almost the number of personnel who will master western equipment. it also saves money, and in the future, well, this is already a fantasy, objectively, but the fantasies were that ignatius instructors would be in ukraine during the war,

now we are talking about the fact that these fantasies are becoming reality, so the next step is quite possible, let's fantasize, but nevertheless, let's imagine the situation, there is a unit that is engaged in training, a french unit, there is a question of providing anti-aircraft defense. so the general army brigade, why, let, let, let, that is, there is a question of how to cover this french unit that is passing air attack training, because this is a military object, well, we can fantasize further that for this, for example, france will deploy its own air defense unit, for example, with the same males, why not? no, because, all the more so, the kremlin has repeatedly stated there, drawn its next red... crimson line there that it will then hit the training grounds where the instructor from the nato countries is located, although again here it is another the red line from

the kremlin, therefore... it can simply be disregarded. thank you, oleg katko, military expert, the chief editor of defense express was on our air, we thank mr. oleg for the analysis, we will have a short break now, please do not switch, in literally a few minutes, we will return to you, stay with us, stay with espresso, there is a lot of important ahead information that i advise you not to miss. tired of heavy and bulky saws? then strong saws from rozpaku tv are just for you. they will easily cut trees and bushes. they are convenient to use for carpentry. it is the perfect tool for your home or the garden and the price is only from uah 999. choose a basic model or a model with a telescopic handle and order now. free delivery is available. check with
