we are our country, but this is another task, i always repeat this, to find a balance between mobilization and the economy is very, very difficult. well, our colleague iryna koval is ready to tell us more news. iro, pass the word and share with us what you will talk about. thank you, marta, just a moment ago about the training of ukrainian pilots on f-16 aircraft, and also about the fact that three countries of the balkans were left without electricity at once. why, i will tell you about everything in the issue. it's 4 p.m. in ukraine, and for your attention , a news release on the espresso tv channel in iryna's studio blacksmith. i congratulate all viewers and just now about the most important events. the european union will start accession negotiations on june 25.

of ukraine to the bloc, this was reported by representatives of belgium, which currently chairs the eu council. all 27 member states have given formal consent to start the process. similar negotiations will take place with moldova. let me remind you that the agreement on ukraine's membership in the european union should not have any territorial restrictions. the ukrainian government called the event historic and is already preparing for the first round official negotiations. already on june 25, we will hold the ukraine-eu intergovernmental conference, which will mark the formal start of negotiations on our accession. next, we will begin detailed technical negotiations on dozens of different chapters of the future agreement. at the same time, we are continuing our integration into the european union in all directions. ukrainian pilots and technicians for f-16 aircraft are being trained according to the approved schedule, the spokesman said. air force ilya yevlash.

the day before, a number of foreign publications, including the time and politico, spread the information that by the end of the year, fewer pilots will be trained than ukraine will receive airplanes. according to people's deputy oleksandra ustinova, eight ukrainian pilots are currently undergoing training in tucson, usa, and another 12 at an air base in denmark. the third training program in romania has not yet started. the slots that our partners allocate to us, they are absolutely all filled immediately after the graduation or transition from one stage of pilots to another, for others we immediately recruit the next and the next cadets, who, by the way, study at our kharkiv air force university, this future specialists who will perform combat missions directly on the new f-16 aircraft. almost 86 billion dollars of international aid has been attracted by ukraine since the beginning of the great war. first

deputy prime minister, minister of economy yuliya sveridenko informed. she added that already this month ukraine can receive almost 2 billion euros within the framework of the ukraine facility program. we hope that this year, in the coming weeks, we will review, the fourth review of the international monetary fund, and after that an additional 2.2 billion dollars is expected to be allocated, which also gives us. the possibility to hope for the preservation of macro stability in the 25th year. immediately, three countries of the balkans were left without electricity. almost all of bosnia and herzegovina, montenegro and croatia unexpectedly lost electricity. a notice of this appeared in the local zmi. according to preliminary data, problems first arose in montenegro, and then in two other countries. dispatchers are trying to find out what exactly happened. and how to restore power

as countries share a single system power transmission such a large-scale malfunction has never happened before. it is assumed that the accident occurred due to the air conditioners, which are turned on en masse with the onset of heat. in the balkans, the air temperature reaches 35°. the woman who ransacked the burial places of ukrainian defenders at the askold grave in kyiv was declared a suspect. this was reported in the capital. to the police, she was also assigned a psychological examination. last night, the suspect damaged the graves of dmytro kotsyubail with the call sign davincha, andrii pylshchikov with the call sign jus, and also pavel petrichenko she defaced their portraits, broke lamps and commemorative plaques, tore out flowers and defaced the national flag. the perpetrator faces up to seven years in prison. and at this moment, there is a gathering in dusseldorf. in the framework of the second championship

of the tour, the second round of the european championship, ukraine is meeting with the national team of slovakia. the score is still unknown, but we think it is 0:0. in... the first round, our opponents sensationally defeated the belgian national team, instead, the ukrainians unexpectedly lost to the romanians 0-3, after which romania announced the transfer to ukraine of the patriot system, which gave rise to numerous memes. so, the opinions of the fans were divided before today's match: to get another patriot or to defeat the slovaks in a fundamental match. i am very hopeful and more than sure. that each one of us made the right decisions, both individually and as a team, and now i just don't want to talk about the game with romania, i just want to turn the page and be 100% focused on tomorrow's game. in the capital

, the winners of the national competition charitable ukraine 223 were awarded. out of almost 1,500 applications the best ones were selected for participation in the competition. benefactors who worked tirelessly during the past year to extend a helping hand to those who need it. our tatyana golonova will tell what nominations were presented and how the award ceremony took place. they are people with a big heart who will always find an opportunity to help a sick child or a wounded soldier. in the capital , the best benefactors of last year were awarded as part of the national competition charitable ukraine 2020. our competition, charitable ukraine , is held in the 17th, at the beginning it was called philanthropist of the year, in the 12th year we made a name change, and every year this competition acquires a new sound, it expands,

with news from the united states. the united states has decided to give ukraine missiles for air defense as a priority, it is about patriot missiles for nasams systems. well, we understand that this decision was supposed to provoke something. what do you think was the trigger that the united states decided to move all countries in line and put ukraine first? from what i happened to meet, i think that this is the most like it an objective assessment in this matter is that the white house is trying to hedge in case of various internal political nuances that should start there against the background of the presidential elections, because one of the candidates there, as far as is known, trump declares that he wants to stop aid to ukraine, even without waiting for the results of the elections. and taking into account the fact that we have venetian missiles, as always, for yesterday, and there

it is necessary to emphasize that we are talking about the approximate volume of supplies that may be, it is also difficult to say what is large, american viewers are talking about the fact that for these 16 months, which the white house says that they will give us space missiles as a priority, well, there are, for example, only 547 aim 120 missiles for the nasom chiki complexes there, and they are reserved for the us army. for 360, what comes out, the rest there are almost 200 for export, well, that is , the volume is not very large for objective reasons, well, because it’s faster and you won’t do it again, that’s how it works out and trump can cut it off, because it could to provoke, plus after all, well, could the objective one have worked the military-technical factor is that the reserves of air defense are limited everywhere in the world, romania is lucky to have a couple of extra patriots there, which could be given away.

liters per 100 km is not good, and accordingly , missiles and the consumption of patriot missiles by air defense systems, respectively, yes, as far as this is an expendable part and in general, well, we will not go into secrets, well, but the enemy also knows well the tactical and technical characteristics of the patriots, so how many rockets plus or minus they consume, how many they release, and how many the plus-minus remains, that's how to deal with all that balance and how much, in general, well... can they supply us with them, wink, mr.

ivan, well, let's do it, from those american sources that are publicly available, communication, yes , the connection is unstable, yes, we have a very slow connection, so we will have. delay in the answer of mr. ivan karachevskyi, because we do not have a very good internet, we do not know now, power outages, most likely throughout the country, also affect the quality of communication, so we apologize to our audience and ask understand the situation, our editors are now trying to restore contact with mr. ivan kyrychevsky, by the way, it is also important to clarify about south korea, which seems to be ready to reconsider its decisions regarding the provision of lethal weapons to ukraine, the alliance between. chynin and the russian dictator putin forces south korea to reconsider its decisions, previously this country

provided ukraine with mostly humanitarian aid, but now it can even supply air defense systems, and we it is important to understand to what extent south korea can strengthen the ukrainian armed forces with its equipment, its lethal weapons so that we can give a decent rebuff to the russian invaders, or can we return ivan kyrychevsky? mr. ivan, please continue what we talked about, well, we talked about dopet missiles. and there you have to understand something like this, that the production cycle of those missiles is 23-25 ​​months, that is, why exactly this emergency step of the white house, it was designed for 16 months, well maybe it’s just that there is an understanding that something more or less decent in terms of missiles to peter can be reached, it can be transferred relatively quickly, but the fact is that it creates

certain problems for the usa there in terms of reputation, because they promised missiles with such. .. yes, now the connection with mr. ivan kyrychevskyi has been lost, we will try by phone, maybe we will be able to hear better that way, mr. ivan, i hope, it is important for us to hear the essence, as he tells us, mr. ivan, we are of course very happy he can always be seen on our airwaves, but if we are talking about the quality of our connection, let's hope that

we will be able to hear mr. ivan a little better on the phone, if, of course, we have the opportunity. to redial and continue the conversation with him, we have an important message from the spokesman of the khortyts operational-strategic group of troops, lt. col. nazar voloshin, so the russian troops began storming the yar storetskyi direction at the time, i am quoting now verbatim: for the last week, enemy assaults have been occurring constantly, there are also mechanized assaults in the face of the temporary ravine, also in small groups to five people, the enemy is trying to break through the neighborhoods of novy and kanal. for several days now , the enemy has moved from a different direction. storetsko on chasiv yar, the invaders are pushing from horlivka to shumy and new york. well, since the beginning of the day , the occupiers tried three times to approach the ukrainian positions near chasovoy yar and klishchiivka. according to lieutenant colonel voloshyn, the fighting continues, the situation remains under control. if we go back to our conversation with mr. ivan kyrychevskyi, the

united states gave an explanation why they decided to prioritize the supply of missiles to ukraine for ppu. so for... now i'll quote matthew miller, a spokesman for the united states state department, he says that this decision was caused by washington's decision to prioritize ukraine in the supply of interceptor missiles for air defense systems like the patriot because the ukrainian government made it clear to the united states that our needs are now very high. i will quote now: we see how the russian military attacks ukrainian cities, we saw how they target the energy infrastructure, yes... understand that they want to turn off the lights and turn off the heat when winter returns, so it became clear to us that we had to do something to strengthen ukraine's air defense capabilities. he added that this includes receiving additional air defense systems from around the world to improve ukraine's air defenses, but also the transfer of interceptor missiles, a decision

the president has made is to review some of the interceptor deliveries to the patriots, which are over'. their deliveries from other countries, taking into account the acute need that ukraine has and the urgent need threat that ukraine faces in order to make sure that ukraine gets what it needs now to protect itself from intense russian aerial bombardment, a spokesman for the united states state department said. and an important, important action on the part of our military. so, at night, our defenders hit the places where the shaheds were kept. krasnodar region, this is how i am quoting the general staff now: tonight, june 21 , the ukrainian defense forces struck a successful attack on the places of storage and preparation for the use of shahed-136 gran-2, on training buildings, control and communication points of calculations of these uavs located in the krasnodar territory. well, it is reported that

a series of explosions and a fire followed by detonation were recorded as a result of combat operations. yes, and now let's hope for the resumption of contact with mr. ivan kyrychevsky, military expert of defense express. mr. ivan, we are trying to get you back on our air again, i hope the quality will be better by phone. rockets to the patriots, in plain language. rockets, in simple language, a rocket is made for 23-25 ​​months, i.e they will just give us something already ready, but in relatively small quantities, what they will give us will not be enough. but there is no option not to give, that's what we have to, let's say , count on, to put it briefly. about south korea and its capabilities, mr. ivan, what can they offer us? actually in support of what is called the lethal weapon of the air defense system? well, look, what should be the starting point? we immediately have ambitions for

south korea to give us the kei-sam anti-aircraft missile complex, well , they are korean shadows, but which is even somehow similar to the s-400, well, if it didn't sound paradoxical, this developer doesn't have this complex, there is a russian trace, because almazanei also worked on it there, but i think that for a start we will have to focus on more... such down-to-earth things that we will need just in time against the same shaheeds, well, for that matter, south korea makes its hirron manpads, which, by the way, is ready to sell at dumping prices, which it actually shows on the market of eastern europe, and in general there are six-barreled vulcan m167 anti-aircraft guns, which ones also show a very good performance in shooting at drones, we would be so sorry, even if south korea gives these chiron manpads and six-barreled guns against. this will be what is needed, at least it will help us to ensure that these russian kamikaze drones do not fly to the lviv region, because , well, what we have on such, on

the initial link, it, let's say, well after all, it is of the soviet design, and perhaps, compared to the south korean systems , there is not enough firepower, although with on the other hand, if suddenly south korea , of course, offers to take keisam even on a commercial basis, then everything should be taken anyway, because keisam ... it is really capable of knocking down ballistics, if only, and the fact that it has a lot of buyers in the middle east , well, it shows the degree of quality of this complex. ugh. mr. ivan, look, another very interesting event happened tonight in russia, in addition to the oil refineries, defenders hit the shaheed storage facilities in the krasnodar region, and this is a very interesting situation, because we i would really like for the shaheds to be destroyed, for there to be fewer of them and for the russians to have less of them for us... let us know what is known about this storage place, whether it was a production, or it was some kind of warehouse, and how many of these shaheds are there there could be, well, for the time being some specific

data there, how many of these shaheds there could be, how much could have burned, there is none here yet, because, well, even if there are, it is clear that they will be mined by some kind of agency there, and not data from open sources, it is simply worth paying attention here to the fact that our military did something for the first time in history, and he himself... using kamikaze drones covered the starting positions of the same kamikaze drones, because, well, that was the point, if, for example, the starting position for such classic bloody or ballistic missiles can be seen from the satellite, shahed, it itself is small in size, 3x2 m, and the launcher there is also small in size, that is, the understanding is obvious where these shaheds launch, it was plus or minus the area, plus or minus a few kilometers, but just so you know to hit point-blank, then it is possible. was you know, it's very difficult, because let 's remember, it's not, there were more than once reports that the defense forces of ukraine tried to strike the places

of concentration of russian shaheds, but this is the first time when they finally got it, that is, it was clearly not the case there only in drones, but also the improvement of our intelligence capabilities, so let's hope that if this story about the improvement of our intelligence capabilities, it will continue to work, because in another way to interfere with the preventive... by striking neighbors, well, not yet what look, mr. ivan, we would like to ask you what putin can bring from north korea, right? we understand that, well, the dictatorship, we understand that the soviet weapons, but at one time they supported putin putin with their shoulder, yes, supplying artillery shells, not of very high quality, but in large quantities, yes, and it was at a kind of transitional moment, when, rather, the russians ran out of the most important thing that they had for their neighbors. by the way, and now the koreans can also supply something to the russians, what could it be? well, if we are talking about personal a warehouse for the replenishment of russian

intervention units, that is, you believe in such a possibly conspiratorial story, and perhaps quite concretely, that putin can expel into the kimchi, i don’t know, several tens of thousands of north koreans who will go to the front to die for the juche idea russian-ukrainian war. i wouldn’t rule it out, that is, i wouldn’t assume that yes, we will have to wait for this expeditionary force, but i wouldn’t rule it out at least because, well, as far as i remember, when in the summer of 2022 there are talks about the north korean the expeditionary corps against foreign russians seemed to have quieted down, but then there was a story that the north korean labor force was used by the occupiers even in mariupol, as far as i remember, that is, for military construction, that is, in principle , some trade vectors. between the two dictators, there may be, accordingly, these expeditionary corps may be the development of this story, but here we still need to understand something, even if we take the experience of the previous history

with north korean shells, then... when there to deliver even one million it took two or three months, so we can see the real effect of what these two dictators have agreed on, we can also see it only after two or three months, that is, closer to the fall, in the case of north korea, many people somehow unfairly begin to say soviet weapons in the sense old, well, because no matter how strange it may sound now, the first point: our ideas about the degree of isolation of north korea from the world for the last 40 years, they are exaggerated, to put it mildly, because two, north korea managed. to push its weapons even into the markets of the middle east and there, even the usa sometimes rolled their eyes in surprise, that is, how is it that north korea is selling something, if we talk about the fact that there are third parties, that a particularly strong point of north korea is its own art systems, well, for example, jet systems with a total fire different calibers, even calibers that are not available in russia, or the famous 170 mm koksan guns, which the russians would really need

to supplement their pawns or... gentlemen, that is , really here, you know, questions can, if there are also even such a logic can be that if kimchin gives them his soldiers to putin, then in theory he can also give the north korean t-62 and t-72 localizations, and it will be a very bad story, because if the russian occupiers are suddenly able to return from heavy-duty vehicles to classic mechanized tank columns, you know, it will somehow not matter to us how old the north korean t-62 or t70 will be there. in their warehouses of those tanks, is it generally written, conventionally speaking, that on paper, that they have such an approximate number, well, they can’t do everything to give, and suddenly they think that south korea will want to liberalize them, so to speak, well, there are a total of 3,500

, including even soviet theaters. 85, but why were there even such pessimistic expectations, because this agreement on mutual defense against aggression, who would have thought that dictators would defend themselves against aggression, it is possible that this was precisely aimed at what they said there, if south korea suddenly wants to liberalize something, then the russian eastern military district has to go and help the fraternal south korean, i'm sorry, to the north korean people, that is , there may even be a guide to this. mr. ivan, i also wanted to ask, in the realities of... language misunderstanding, let's say, well, north koreans and russians, i don't know how they can understand each other, speaking different languages, whether it is realistic to somehow integrate korean soldiers or some commanders into the russian army, so that they could somehow communicate with them, and there was no such thing, you know , a kind of friendly fire, or, in principle, it is some kind of slightly fantastic story about korean soldiers in ukrainian, on

ukrainian land, well, look... we already have confirmed facts, when there are people from different nationalities, there are even cubans, some africans, bangladeshis fighting as part of the russian occupation forces, they are big and powerful, fortunately or unfortunately, they do not know, but this does not even bother the russians, moreover, no matter how strange it may sound here, when the russian imperialists need it, they themselves forget that they have a great mighty one who goes there to teach the language of those whom they are trying to teach or subjugate there, but even there with pvk wagner was a specific example that when there, let’s say, it turns out that they somehow taught only syrians there, and it turns out that even wagnerovych himself forgot russian words and started cursing in syrian, or rather arabic, that is, even there they had such examples, i.e. unfortunately, this is what they can do here, they say, what is the difference and the like, when the russians need it, they kill the russians themselves in order to fulfill their tasks, and finally, let's talk about the fab 3000 m-54, the first combat use there were these

powerful... high-explosive bombs by russia, mr. ivan, what is an aerial bomb, how seriously can it be dangerous, well, look, let's clarify, the russians claim that they used for the first time such a bomb with a unpk model, which turns it into a guided one, unfortunately, the russians already used this type of air bomb when they wiped mariupol from the face of the earth, using tu-22m3 bombers, why are there still such... i wonder if it is really such a bomb, or did they use a mass thermobaric mass bomb, for example 1 .5 tons because only one plane can lift a three-ton bomb to russia, here is a 22m3 strategic bomber, fly such planes close enough to be placed under the zone of our air defense, it is unlikely that the russians would take a risk after the episode when one such bomber was shot down, so there must be something be careful, really a bomb that weighs 3 tons and has...
