you that ukrainians and russians once jointly built an empire, and there was allegedly no oppression of ukrainians in it. portnikov was convincing in this discussion, and latini was extremely convincing, representing the russian people who are aggressive towards ukraine, the russian people who believe that there are no ukrainians, and that everything that happened before 2022... because 2014, it was joint the desire of two peoples to live together, something there, to build some kind of common space, portnikov put the dots on the pseudo-history and on the manipulations used by yulia latynina in this discussion in a timely manner, they caused a positive reaction in ukrainian social networks, there were a lot of responses to... this discussion, if you haven't

seen this discussion, you can watch it either on mark feigin's channel or on vitaly portnikov's channel. another topic that is relevant enough and that will obviously have its publicity is fortification or the construction of fortification structures in the regions, a week ago the verkhovna rada of ukraine passed a decision on the creation of a temporary. new commission, which will study the circumstances of the construction of the fortification in the east and south of ukraine, and this topic arose immediately after the russian invaders entered the city of vovchansky in the kharkiv region, there were many complaints that there were no fortifications in the way of the russians. the publication cenzornet in the article about abuses in the construction of...

fortifications writes about companies with signs of fictitiousness that received 270 million hryvnias for the supply of wood under classified contracts to the kharkiv regional military administration, i quote the publication cenzornet. it is worth noting that against the background of other regional of administrations, kharkivska ova is just an example of transparency, because the executor of the contracts was always indicated, which made it possible to detect... abuses based only on the name of the firms are one day, the newspaper writes, noting that similar information in other regions is classified, so abuses on fortifications can be even greater , in this story, of course , there will obviously be a lot of people who inflated prices, or purchased goods at inflated prices, or... estimated the amount of work at inflated

prices, and obviously, obviously, law enforcement agencies will have to give answers to all questions about who and how made money from these fortifications, with the participation of which high-ranking persons, individuals participated in this, who should ultimately answer for this, because ... in the current story, of course, we are talking about the lives of our soldiers, those who defend us, and it is very important to put an end to the history of fortifications, because in the end there is justice, and it is worth fighting for, and this is exactly what our colleagues from the publication "censor net" are talking about. well. and from june 1,

friends, ukrainians will pay for electricity at 64% more, 4 hryvnias 32 kopecks per kilowatt-hour, instead of 2 hryvnias 64 kopecks, the old tariff remains only for consumers with electric heating, and then only during the heating season, we had oleksiy kucherenko on the air last week. people's deputy of ukraine, who clearly understands what is happening now in the energy industry, he says that the government plans to direct the funds received from the payment of tariffs to the restoration of generation, this is approximately uah 50 billion per year, 85% will go to energoatom, the other 15% in ukrhydroenergo, and he says that...

that there is a question in the rational distribution of funds, which actually all of us together with you, friends, will pay, starting from june 1, 2024. let's listen to oleksiy kucherenko. ukrhydroenergo is destroyed, it is very powerful, valid, there is much to repair, starting with dnipro-hes and so on. there was no destruction in the energoatom, they are energats of destruction and there were none, and therefore the question arises, how exactly will this money further down the chain end up for the strengthening of the energy system and for... repairs of those companies that suffered the most. suffered you and i know, the state company ukrenergo, these are transformer substations, powerful, this is oblenergo, operators of distribution systems, first of all, these are the kharkiv region, sumy, kyiv, odesa, there is

dnipropetrovsk and so on, these are network companies, and the third is thermal generation, and ukrhydroenergo. and then there was information that on tuesday, june 4, the deficit in the energy system is forecast throughout the day, its volume will be higher than on monday. the reason for the increase in consumption is due to the heat and a decrease in the volume of imports, and consumption limits electricity will be valid for each region from zero hours to 24 hours. oblenergo will apply if the limits are exceeded. for industrial and household consumers schedule of hourly outages, it is clear that in the conditions of war, and in the conditions of the destruction of the energy capacities of ukraine by the russian federation, we need to prepare for the fact that we need to save electricity, and

it is clear that the next winter will be quite difficult for all ukrainians, especially for those who use more. electricity, that is, it buys more light it is clear that those who do not have gas stoves or gas there will have to struggle enough, because, as experts predict, they will not just survive the winter of 2025, but we still remain optimistic, we will understand that it is under... the increase in electricity, which, it is true, is not sufficiently effective, effectively communicated by the government, it will give such results, and it will affect our capacities, the energy capacities of ukraine, because in the current conditions, complain about

certain enterprises that generate energy capacities. and deliver electricity to our residential buildings, somehow it is not unreasonable, considering the fact that the blame for this all lies personally with the russian dictator putin, it is the dictator putin who is doing everything to deprive us of electricity, and not only electricity, but also water supply. the goal is quite simple - to force the ukrainians to capitulate to the russian onslaught, and obviously this is understood not only in moscow and kyiv, but also in the united states of america, so we hope for the help

of our western partners, and i have already mentioned the fact that biden will not go to the global peace summit, but information has just appeared about what the white house will explain. that the absence of biden at the peace summit does not mean less support for ukraine, so we will hope for the support of our western partners, and first of all the united states of america, and that this support will allow us to survive these difficult times. on this, friends, i will put an end to our conversation today. now we will look at the results of the survey, we asked you today. about this, do you agree with zelenskyi that china can disrupt the meru summit? 29% think so, 71% - no, uh, now let's look at the results of the survey on youtube, 38% yes, 62% no.

these are the results of our survey today. i'm putting an end to this, it was the verdict program about serhii rudenko, see you soon. come tomorrow at 20:00, there will be a new verdict, there will be new guests, we will talk about the most important things, about what worries you, dear friends, goodbye, take care of yourself and your loved ones. there are discounts that represent unbreakable discounts on hepatrombin gel 15% in travel pharmacies to you and save. there are discounts that represent unbreakable discounts on mevycar iic 10% in pharmacies of travel and savings.

estoy bien! good evening, we are from ukraine. cancellation of the ban. strikes against russia by western weapons are already producing the first results. today

, many people have probably seen these beautiful photos and videos, which record the results of a successful attack by hymars on a russian air defense system of the s-300-s-400 type, which was located in the belgorod region, which is about 60 km from our border with the aggressor. this video shows the destruction of two launchers and support vehicles, as well as the disabling of the complex orbital station. russia uses these zrks-300, s-400 for strikes on air and ground targets on our territory, including shelling the city of kharkiv, so the use of american weapons to destroy such complexes, in particular in the belgorod and kursk regions, is, if not a full step, then at least a half step in the right direction by our partners. this will have the effect of reducing the power of the enemy, accumulating military power near our... their borders with impunity. at the same time

, there were a little less than the usual 60 combat clashes over the past day along the entire front line. that the peak values ​​even recently reached the rate of 150 combat sorties per day. of course , it can be concluded that the russian units are being exhausted, but it is also possible that the enemy is now forced to regroup after significant losses in manpower and equipment. and to summarize. data of the general staff, in may the occupying forces lost a record number of personnel (38,940 people). this is actually an absolute record number of enemy personnel losses since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, while we know that now the enemy recruits somewhere within the limits of 30,000 personnel per month to replenish losses, and to maintain this pace in russian regions , one-time payments for signing a contract have been significantly raised. also, in may

, the armed forces destroyed a significant amount of barrel artillery. 1160 guns, this is also an absolute record for the entire period of a full-scale war, and it is primarily the result of counter-battery fighting, that is , the use of our artillery, which has a longer range and greater accuracy against enemy self-propelled howitzers and artillery, which skids, and the number of enemy losses began to increase somewhere in the second half of may, when it became a little easier for us with shells. but for the sake of objectivity, i will add that in may the enemy actively hunted our means of impression using lancets, and this is mainly at a distance of 20-40 km from the contact line, the enemy's shock lancets pose a serious threat, they are given according to data collected by intelligence drones of the orlan and zala type, and now the destruction

of these enemy eyes in the sky is... among the priorities tasks for our industrial teams and for the military, and here we can't help but show two videos that are very interesting to specialists, because russian reconnaissance drones are being destroyed, it's hard to believe, but it's true, being destroyed by fpv drones, first the fpv drone attacks the russian hall, and now the second video, where we now see on the screen, when the russian uavs are being attacked , the orlan pilot complex, i don't know how our soldiers managed to do this , given a number of limitations, because these enemy uavs are difficult to detect , they have a much larger one height compared to normal targets for fpv, they have a higher speed compared to ground targets there, but in any case we see that there is a result, i don't think that

this way of fighting eagles and halls will be the main one, but in any case - in which case, such opportunities must be increased, then we will assess the changes taking place on the battlefield on a larger scale, and now viktor kevlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, is joining us. mr. viktor, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, sir sergey in the use of american and western weapons on the territory of the russian federation, this certain approach of our partners with certain capabilities, but... capabilities already gives the first results, which i started talking about at the beginning of our program, talking about the destruction of the s-300 and s- 400, but in any case, has this strange practice of restrictions been in other wars, and how this format of authorizations affects the effectiveness of the use of western

weapons and the achievement of the result that the armed forces seek on the battlefield. i couldn't find reference that in the history of the last 100 years of wars, the provision of aircraft weapons was accompanied by certain restrictions on their use, in a direct statement of this question. regarding the format of permits, today germany, italy, and belgium categorically prohibit the use of the weapons provided by them on the territory of the russian federation. switzerland formally remains neutral, but... spoke out in favor of a ban on providing military aid to ukraine, permits to use weapons produced in the countries granted by france, great britain, poland, lithuania, latvia, estonia, the netherlands, sweden, the czech republic, finland, denmark, norway and canada are a total of 13 countries. as for the difference,

there is permission, there is no permission, the best illustration is crimea, which our partners consider to be the territory of ukraine and no restrictions apply there, the air defense system is effectively destroyed, the grouping of the naval forces has been brought to an incapacitating state, there are a lot of problems in aviation on airfields based on the territory of crimea, we could have the same picture in the operational rear on the continental territory of russia federations, somehow, well, then it arises. issue, this history with permits, it is a sign that our partners have not formulated their own goals in this war with the russian federation, or, on the contrary , have formulated these goals in the wrong way. with those that we set before ourselves in the war with the russian federation, what conclusions should we draw from this history? in my opinion , everything is much, much simpler: it is a matter of

trust in the military and political leadership of ukraine. secondly, the partners definitely have doubts that the weapons provided to ukraine will be applied purely to military facilities. no complaints to the soldiers, sergeants, officers who use this weapon. on the front, but to those who plan to use it, most likely such claims are present, it should certainly be taken into account that western manufacturers are afraid of their technology falling into russian hands in the event of the loss of these weapons for technical reasons or as a result of hostilities . maybe it also has some influence, but as for... advice, i think we need to work on restoring trust with on the part of our allies, then, in this sense , then how to perceive this initiative connected with

the covering of part of the airspace of ukraine, there by nato forces, in particular by western western missile complexes, which are located in the same poland, what are the limiting factors here and what can cause qualitative changes in the approaches of our partners, the main limiting factor is... the lack of a political decision to be taken by the council of the north atlantic alliance, as the highest political body of this alliance. format that air defenses can have is patrolling of fighters and interceptors in the national airspace of the baltic countries, poland and romania, and the rotation of missile units with the right to harvest... targets in the airspace of ukraine within the reach of their air defense. again, the decision on the presence

of a foreign military on the territory of ukraine must be made by the ukrainian parliament. he hasn't done that yet. accordingly, how should the firing of anti-aircraft missiles from the territory of neighboring countries from the national ukrainian airspace be considered from a legal point of view? lawyers should also answer this question. as far as organizational aspects are concerned, how compatible are the ukrainian air defenses in terms of means of communication and means of automated control with the unified air defense system of the alliance? i hope that the headquarters of the air force has studied this question and has answers, but it is not as simple as it seems. well , i still wanted to finally move on to the situation that is developing. on the front line, this is how, according to your estimates , the dynamics on the front line will look like in the summer period and can we say that this enemy offensive

in the kharkiv region was the first step towards this big summer offensive, which everyone expected, but it did not give the enemy the expected results and now some other stage of the enemy's actions is coming, which stage, what to expect in which directions? for today, having started actions in the kharkiv direction , the enemy tried to deliver an auxiliary strike, trying to bind a part of the ukrainian group in the north-eastern direction and force our command to bring strategic reserves into the battle if possible also, he didn't get anything out of it, he got an additional section of the front where he can't solve his operational tasks, he's forced to throw reserves there, which are not enough. in other areas, but it seems to me that the narrative of these actions is an attempt to hide the direction of the main strike in the summer

offensive campaign, it seems that the enemy is choosing between the kurakhovsky, pokrovsky and kramatorsk directions, uh, the next three months of summer will be very hot, for us will be very difficult, but the increase in aid coming from our partners, i think to... will allow us to resist with minimal territorial losses, mr. viktor, now i will list certain components of the increase in the number of defense forces, which some western experts talk about, weapons, fortification, changing approaches to the use of forces and means, improving the planning of conduct hostilities how would you place these components in terms of relevance or priority for our armed forces, like, well... defense forces. my rating has been unchanged for many years, it is primarily a change in approaches to application strength of means, improvement of the quality of planning,

obtaining. the weapons necessary to perform the tasks, and in the last place, although not the last in importance, the comprehensive application of operations, in particular, engineering ones. when we talk about the training of our units, we can mention here the statements that we expect the appearance of western instructors there, what politicians and the military are talking about, and the question arises, why do we need them, if, in particular, some officials. .. of the armed forces talked about the fact that we can prepare both 200 and 500 thousand personnel composition perhaps we misunderstand the priorities in the training of personnel, we talk only there, in particular there, well, about the overtraining of personnel, mobilized there, forgetting about the training of brigades, what is the most important here from the point of view of the actual training of units for conducting combat operations? about foreign instructors, first of all, they did not appear yesterday, in

2000... in the 14th year, i myself underwent training three times in the british orbital mission in the training missions of the northern and southern joint nato commands, this is the way our partners, first of all, to express their support to us without directly participating in hostilities, i.e. 80% is purely military training, 20% is military-political politeness, respectively, having received western models. weapons, we need someone, someone to teach us something, how to use it, who can do it better than the representatives of the countries where these weapons are produced, it is quite logical, for example, the instructions for the abrams tank are 200 pages of technical text in english, the experience of mastering of f-16 aircraft says no with our level of english, this should

be done, therefore... the presence of foreign instructors is extremely important, as far as our training system is concerned, in the 23rd year in the past, our partners trained 1,000 military personnel for us at their training base and with the help of their instructors. i have serious doubts that the training system of the armed forces today is capable of training 100,000 servicemen. this is a colossal load that is unattainable for us today. and when we talk about level preparation brigades and coordination of units in a brigade format, how important is this component, because i read foreign publications, they say that not even all american brigades provide such a level, well, on a regular basis, how can we deal with it then, how to prepare brigade? there is not a single training ground in europe where you can conduct tactical training

with a brigade. a maximum of a battalion with means of strengthening and firing from mortars, those who want to train on a larger scale are forced to go to the united states or to us on sycamore. the issue of coordination of brigades, yes, there is such a thing, we have a wide lang, where this issue has been solved in an applied way since 2015, but let's talk about the fact that the brigades are in full force, theory... full force does not fight, maybe it is worth focusing to the training of battalions of tactical groups. and i would like to ask about the enemy, whether we were wrong when we predicted a large-scale mobilization there, because now we see that the enemy provides 30-40 thousand personnel there every month at the expense of economic fads , whether such topics are a sign that

the enemy does not want or cannot change the current format of the war with our country, and what can push the enemy to a larger mobilization of personnel? the enemy selects 25-30 thousand new recruits every month, accordingly, this allows him to cover the losses at the front, monthly in 20-25 00 and slightly build up something somewhere. accordingly, to say that the enemy has the opportunity without mobilization to significantly increase its component for conducting an offensive operation in ukraine, there are absolutely no such grounds. we see that the enemy has increased payments for citizens who.
