by meteorologists, my colleague yaroslav goc knows about the work of the billotserk weather station. few people know, but for 150. two years there has been a meteorological station in bila tserkva, which is the oldest in the kyiv region. in total , there are 10 of them in the region. thanks to this small-sized site, residents of bilotserki will find out what kind of weather awaits them in the coming days, as if nothing special, there are white structures in the field, but in fact each of them is important and is used for different purposes. as says ms. olena, in general, seven people work at the station. people, five of them are technical meteorologists who take turns determining various indicators, and each of us reads them on phones, newspapers or on websites. the task of the meteorologist on duty is to go to the meteorological site once every three hours and take readings of the air temperature,

the temperature on the surface of the soil, at the depths, observe cloudiness, visibility, atmospheric phenomena, measure the amount of precipitation, if... there was any, well, in winter it is behind the snow cover and freezing of the soil, we encode all this information and transmit it to the ukrainian hydrometeorological center in the form of a telegram every three hours. according to the specialist, in recent years our climate has changed significantly, winters have become warmer and the amount of precipitation has decreased. by the way, they are measured with the help of this device, which visually resembles a flower, inside a container with water flowing somewhere. this glass ball, which is actually called a heliograph, also attracts attention. it determines the duration of sunshine, that is, the time when the sun is above the horizon and not covered clouds a ray of sunlight through this ball is refracted and makes a gap, that is, if

there was sunshine, there is a gap on the tape, if there is not, then of course there was no sunlight. and already at the end of the day, after sunset, they are on duty. processes these tapes and counts how many hours a day the sun shone. there is also a special section at the bilotserkiv weather station, where the temperature on the surface of the soil is determined with the help of a sensor, the depth is measured next to it, and the visibility at night is known with the help of this device. if you raise your head up, you can see those that set the direction of the wind. natalya is working on shift today, she just came to measure radiation. von, says, it should be done five times, then calculate the average number and enter it in a special form. we have a special radiometric table, which has a certain height, has perimeter restrictions, and it is in these areas that we must make these measurements. the radiation background

is currently normal, we have not recorded any increases or jumps. then together with natalya we go to mini-towers. in which there are thermometers, but somewhat larger than we are used to seeing: minimum thermometer, maximum thermometer, dry, wet. after going around the weather station. the specialist enters all the indicators into the computer and sends them to kyiv, she says, they are tied to time, so you need to do everything exactly according to the schedule. weather forecasts greatly simplify people's lives, from organizing vacations to such simple thoughts as taking an umbrella. moreover, thanks to them, the armed forces can plan operations during combat operations actions yaroslav hopatsa, oleksandr kuga, espresso. church. to find out more interesting and up-to-date information, follow

the results of this vote, and we have our first guest petro. blacksmith, military expert, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine. mr. colonel, i congratulate you, thank you, that you are with us today glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. colonel, let's start our conversation with the situation that is developing in the northeast and east. already today , the minister of defense of ukraine, rustem umyerov , said in an interview with reuters that russia is preparing to deploy another 300,000 troops near the border of ukraine. in connection, i remind the colonel of the armed forces of ukraine petro chernyk: mr. colonel, how do you assess the prospects of creating another northern front in ukraine? it cannot be neglected, or the enemy can resort to the design of a small one bridgehead, say in sumy region? yes, of course, does he have the strength and means to a certain extent for this? at the moment, the sever group

has up to 53,000 personnel, they have up to 400 tanks and up to 1,500 armored personnel carriers. machines and up to a thousand artillery barrels, as well as multiple rocket launcher systems. in order to organize the same tracing operation as in the kharkiv region in a diameter of up to three, well, a maximum of 7 km of these forces is enough. we well understand that we will have to divert our forces and means and strategic reserve to capture this bridgehead as well. why does the enemy do this? the most important reason is the potential summit, which is to be held in switzerland by putin. shows the states of the global south that he is worth something, that he can do something, and will seek the keys to their hearts to sway them to his side. well, but you said that 50,000 is enough to organize an offensive for a small diameter of 7-9 km, or could it be, for example, an encirclement, an operational encirclement of the city of sumy, well, they can

bypass, let's say, where bilopyllia and velyka pyserivka are, and conditionally speaking, create an encirclement, or is this necessary solely in order to distract our forces now in donbas and demonstrate to the whole world that he can do something, solely from distracting forces and you and exclusively demonstrate that he can do something, in order to really fight for such a rather large city as sumy, not to mention the million kharkiv, then you need at least 100 00 personnel in one direction only, and therefore if take two the directions of sumy and kharkiv, then it is no less... 200 thousand personnel, and this is a plus to what they have, we also remember that there is such a phenomenon as replacement, we eliminate between 26-29 thousand every month personnel, and my opinion is that in may we will have an absolute record and will reach exactly 30,000 figures, so far they do not dare to raise their mobilization figures to the level of 40-50, or even 60 thousand per

month, or such a potential they have, of course there are up to three. men are in reserve, kalashnikov assault rifles of their time more than 100 million have been produced, the ammunition factories are working, at full strength, which they can work on, and for the family under putin , they died, are dying and will die, but even they are not capable of deploying groups up to 300,000 at such a fast pace, or they will try like this, well, that is, they need at least a year to deploy a group of 300,00, i understand correctly. half a year, my, my view, by autumn, by autumn, if they dare to go out now for the summer for indicators or indicators in 40 00, then in 3-6 months it will be them can do, but, mr. colonel, if you compare what our enemies are doing and what we are doing, we are also trying to increase the mobilization resource, the law on mobilization, or rather, the law on amendments

to the mobilization legislation effective may 18, 24- oh year, what and how can he change and has he already changed? and well, the very fact that a huge number of men, if i am not mistaken, the number has reached more than a million in accounting only because of one reserve plus s program, but this is an unprecedented phenomenon in our history, there was nothing like that, well , we have to understand that for 30 years we did not deal with our defense structure, and such a concept as the preparation of mobilization resources in general since 1991. year was practically reduced to zero, then to give the correct answers with literally one change to the to to to to to the cycle of laws is not so easy, in my opinion, in order to understand... so qualitatively or poorly the law must pass for at least half a half half a year, but for in my opinion, the first results are still significant, it is an accounting of all the resources we have, and

it started, but with these successes that you said, more than a million people registered in the reserve plus application, another innovation that began on may 18, 24 , for the first time in court. ukrainian convicts will be released and are already being released from prisons for military service in the armed forces of ukraine, more than 600 people have already been released and have gone to the front. minister of justice denys malyuska announced on the air of the telethon edyni novini that the convicts, who were mobilized with their consent, will serve in special assault units subdivisions, we will listen to the minister of justice. as of now, it will be. e assault units, these will be units that so far consist exclusively of people who have served their sentences, that is, they are monolithic units without

mixing with other military personnel, here i am not entirely sure that this is the best option, but again, the military is more visible, we so far, they have not reached the point of direct hostilities, these units are preparing, maybe the situation will change later and... the choice about mixing or not mixing will be made on another advantage, mr. colonel, at all times , convicts were sent to the front, they were sent to different units in different ways, as you think, the current initiative, which is fixed by law, accordingly, that convicts can go through the court and remove the criminal record and go to the front, how effective is it, how much will it... give potential and what and what does it give to the ukrainian army in particular? well , let's start from the first figures of 613 people, this is a full-fledged battalion, even a little

bit more, it's really quite good and quite a lot, if you understand that it the first step, and if the next steps in the cycle, the 10th, 20th serial number will be the same, well, it can already grow by several tens of thousands, and this is actually a very serious power. personally, i believe that this is an absolutely correct step, they, they are the same convicted citizens as all the rest, and if these were crimes of a minor nature, and the law regulated everything very clearly, qualitatively and correctly, then the task of all citizens, without exception, to to defend our country, especially in times of existential challenge, and this is an existential challenge, either the enemies are us or we are them, and every person who will help beat the enemy, in my opinion, is worth its weight in gold, everything is organized correctly, i stand by... what is really good is that these are monolithic units, and do not mix with the regular armed forces, or rather with other units , and what will be their real effectiveness in the field,

we will see. one more piece of news, mr. colonel: today, the state bureau of investigation is investigating the breach of the border by the russians in the kharkiv region, the level of support and staffing of the units of the armed forces, the construction of fortifications, is being checked. interaction between military units. in parallel, the verkhovna rada of ukraine temporarily created a special commission that investigates the spending of budget funds for the construction of fortifications and the creation of drones. phenomenon and do we have to, well, frankly admit that we did not have time to do it there, or we did not have time in all directions, because... of course there is a large russian-ukrainian and russian-belarusian border, and together it is 200 km, and this is quite a large front line, a very

sensitive issue and in my opinion there is a very rampant, very treacherous, and absolutely unjustified, why? there were even thoughts that the first line of defense should have been, at least along the line of demarcation, this does not happen in nature, and i will give a little historical parallels here, the zvihvirda line or not? the best defensive line, not even the best defensive line, which was built in general of all times and nations, was built for more than 10 years, i emphasize, this is with german scrupulousness, with gigantic resources, and with such discipline, which is simply difficult for us to imagine, then we ukrainians, who are used to living in the illusion of pacifism, would like to have such lines of defense as they were then, this does not happen, but we remember winston chechly's saying that war is a catalog mistakes, yes, a lot of mistakes, a lot. there is a lot, but in order to give a correct and accurate assessment of this phenomenon, here we still need to move away from the principle of do no harm, so that we do not do

what cannot be done by excessive analysis. let those people who have been officially appointed by the state work, let them they will give their verdict, let them put it on paper, make it into documents, so that there appear accurate, guaranteed, most importantly, verified non-emotional facts, and then we will analyze. vladimir putin speaks quite often about the fact that the current offensive in kharkiv oblast, and in general, all actions, combat actions in the northeast, in the northeast , have. meaning in sumy region, they are connected with the fact that they want to create a so -called sanitary zone, but at the expense of the state there are 5-10 km to ensure shelling of russian territory, not so many of those russian shelling there from the territory of the sumy region, not so much from the territory of the kharkiv region, after all, we are on our own land, but in this situation a completely logical question arises regarding the use of western weapons on the territory of russia and so on.

respectively, of the sanitary zone on that side, that is, on that side, it should also be 10 or 15 km deep, so that the russians could not bring up artillery, fire artillery at bilopil, the great piserivka, kharkiv, or other cities located in the border zone, that is, until what delaying the decision by our western partners regarding the use of their weapons in... on the part of the enemy, it is logical, putin is trying to show that there is some such formula that will help to come up with something so that the territory of the russian federation will not be threatened. a real sanitary zone is when the parties agree among themselves and whether under international control or independently

divert these forces and means, that's all. no different, the conditional approximate sanitary zone was after the so-called minsk-2, since then they really agreed on the withdrawal of artillery from both sides at a long distance, and then our enemy endlessly violated these rules, is the problem of launching strikes on the territory of the russian federation ripening and re-ripening, in nato weapons, first of all the weapons of the usa, because that is really all that is needed, i will emphasize and explain why the swedes really said: use our weapons, and what is their weapon, it is artillery. 77 archer brilliant, excellent artillery installation 10 seconds to a minute of time is deployed, in 10 seconds three shots and left, but these are three shots, even if the division is working, then this is a column on the march, then already the column that approaches the border, very ok, very nice, but not what is needed, it is necessary to exterminate that group, which is concentrated 90 km away and is growing, that is dangerous, they

started like this for the first time, by the way. and only the attacker gives the answer to this, why only the attacker, the opponent is not a fool, he does not sit in tent cities, it was dispersed in forest strips and forests, and we understand that we do not fight with drones in the forests, we need cluster ammunition, m39, one of the varieties of atakamf, has in its configuration 900 within 950 sub-elements of m-74, so -so a small tangerine, filled with explosive...substances in a metal casing at a height of 30-40 m above the target, decomposes in a diameter of up to 500 m and forms a wormwood of fragments with a speed of 1000 m/s, well, several thousand hundred and this is all that cuts out everything that can to dry a tree and a living person, including when with such missiles, we will start to cover the concentration of troops at those distances, then there will be no one to reach the border, and then the issue

of this sanitary zone will disappear altogether. because in the modern world, in modern technologies...
