congratulate you and... all citizens of ukraine on this holiday. well, let's start with the pokrovsky direction, we know that this is the most difficult direction right now, so we ask you to share all the information that can be made public. well, at the moment, that direction is not the first week and not the first month, it remains one of the hottest in the entire line of battle formation. of course, the units of the defense forces are holding on, giving an adequate response to hope. 32 enemy attacks took place against the enemy there in the past day, the previous day, i will say this for comparison, there were 49 enemy attacks, and the settlements of novooleksandrivka, vozdvizhenka, yevhenivka, progress, novoselivka persha, karlivka and umanske. the enemy there is trying to dislodge our units from the occupied lines and positions, but the defense forces in that direction are controlling the situation, and already on this day, at the moment, the russian occupation troops... 21 were conducting an enemy attack,

trying to attack the positions of our defenders, it was not far away vozdvizhenka, novoaleksandrivka, progress and novoselivka first and umanski. well, at the moment, our defenders have already repelled 13 enemy attacks, seven more battles, sorry, eight battles are ongoing, er, it continues, the defense forces reliably hold the defense, give an adequate response to the enemy, and by the way, the statistics are such that in the past day they have been destroyed there. there were about 300 russian servicemen, several machine harrows, a tank, five artillery systems and a car, and of course, a lot of russian armored vehicles were also damaged. mr. lieutenant colonel, look, we would like to ask you about the advance of the enemy in the direction of vozdvizhene, yes, there is a certain dynamic and there are such feelings that to the north of avdiivka they are trying to somehow expand their...

stepping activity, i.e. the direction of elevation, the direction towards kalinovy. well, i will say that in that direction, the russian terrorists, precisely supporting their offensive actions, use, of course, aviation, both bomber and assault, and also the main efforts in that direction are focused on probable motives, that is, the enemy will try to break through our defense and further develop the offensive direction of the population. points of pokrovsk, myrnograd and selidove, and, of course, to develop the offensive of the westernmost avdiyivka and maryinka, just breaking through to pokrovsk and kurakhov, because they have a highway ahead of them, well , the pokrovsk-konstantinka road, that's why they are all active combat operations, active efforts are being made to capture pokrovsk in the near future and a vital road just to the bone. although they

are trying to move forward in small groups, the defense forces do not allow them to do this, and the daily losses of the enemy in that direction , and the daily combat operations in... in in the context of this, the bridgehead itself, let's discuss the situation that appeared yesterday, regarding the events in chasovoy yar, there is some optimistic news about the fact that mortar and artillery shelling in the entire direction, at the time of vyar , more than 290 shellings were registered, this is from various types of weapons, these attacks fell on the southern part of the city. well, of course, the enemy carried out 43 enemy assaults in that direction, six of which he carried out just in time, the enemy aircraft worked in the direction, dropped one shell for the time, also in that direction about 80 occupiers were destroyed and more than

150 were wounded, and our defenders captured five russians in that direction. and the situation there in that direction is such that, of course, the enemies will not leave. to dislodge our defenders from their occupied positions, this is the chasovo yar area near ivanivskyi, and to advance right into chasiv yar and its surroundings. well, so far, our defenders have repelled one enemy assault, three battles with the enemy are still ongoing in the area of ​​the ivanivsky ravine. mr. lieutenant colonel, you mentioned the big one the number of mortar emplacements, whether the enemy uses heavy mortar systems of the type "tos sonnyepok". so. we understand that they are prohibited by the geneva convention, in particular when used near populated areas, but there is, there is such a suspicion that they, no geneva conventions, do not deter the enemy, yes, of course, i can confirm this, and our defenders who defend the area of ​​​​chasovoyyar, this filmed,

it is already on the open network and on their social pages, which the enemy has used and applied in the ranks, and this is not the first time uses precisely thermobaric ones. on buildings and on the buildings of the city of chasiv yar using blows from heavy flamethrower systems of tos. and would we ask you to describe what a hit from a heavy mortar system with a thermobaric warhead is, for our civilian tv viewers? well, it's a very heavy tos system, which, well, the caliber is very large'. and it, let 's say, is a family of large russian heavy flame-throwing systems, volley fire, their caliber is more than, sorry, 220 mm, they fire precisely with incendiary or thermobaric ammunition, well, i will say that

this is a very terrible weapon, it hits with reactive thermobaric charges, destroys around the building, pierces them, and from the fact that they hit the buildings, they then, well... catch fire and start, well, such fiery ones, well, they cause damage, very big damage. so , myraz, we have already talked about weapons, and we would also like you to explain to our viewers what the new models of weapons of great destructive action are, we are talking about guided air bombs kap-3000, which the russians have begun to use, in fact, what they imagine them to be and what danger they pose, well... i not an expert in the aviation industry, this will be told more by experts from the air force and aviation, but i will say the same as all the military, that these are very large air bombs, of course the ones you mentioned, that the cabins are more than one and a half or two, or 3 000, this is the weight of this bomb,

it carries a very large equivalent of a warhead and which can blow up one or another point where it must be dropped. well, these bombs, as far as i know, the practice of using them was from the time of other wars, where russia took an active part in hostilities, but they are trying to modernize them, in them, i i understand that not everything works out, but thank god that not everything works out with accuracy, but they brag about the fact that they started using them on civilian infrastructure, in particular, and there are already a number of confirmed facts that they use these bombs on... . to the civilian infrastructure, causing great damage, of course to the civilian infrastructure, to the buildings, however, which, of course, the bombs according to their numbering and tonnage, i think, will be assessed by the relevant experts, and there by the prosecutor's office and other officials. mr.

lieutenant colonel, i still wanted to ask you about the situation in the kharkiv direction, i understand that the situation near kupyansk and vovchansk is different. but if it is possible, please give me a summary assessment, i will say that the enemy, of course, does not make any attempts in that direction, carrying out active combat operations, in the... direction of kharkiv oblast last time, there were six combat clashes, the battles in particular took place and near vovchansk and lybtsi, there were also assaults near sotnytskyi cossacks, i apologize, they did not succeed there, the situation did not change significantly there, i would even say that at the moment, our defenders repelled four out of five enemy assaults, fighting continued in the vovchansk region. the assault operations were stopped by the defense forces, of course, fighting continued to the north of

kharkiv, these are the areas of lukyintsy and hlyboki settlements, well, in that direction the enemy used it again just a few hours ago, from belgorod the terrorists struck three strikes about seven cabs in the settlement of livtsi, also two strikes and six cabs in the settlement of staritsa and four cabs dropped on mykolaivka, as well as on varvala. cheers and cheers, well , the villages of vivchan are also hit by guided aerial bombs, in the same direction the enemy certainly does not stop trying, but the defense forces give an adequate repulse to the enemy, and in that direction the enemy also bears losses, as a result of the hostilities, about 120 enemy occupiers, several units of weapons and military equipment, a tank, artillery, artillery means. anti-tank vehicle, five units of special equipment, and of course there is one

information that due to the fact that the enemy has observed numerous cases of refusal of enemy personnel, in particular from the assault detachment of the 153rd tank regiment, 47th tank division of the russian armed forces, to perform their tasks due to the fact that they lost several individuals and... that's why they refuse to carry out their combat tasks, well and also yes, this is a very very interesting point about refusal, is it at the level of units or at the level of individual refusals? at the level of specific and individual units refuse, of course, that's why things are not so good there, well, there is still an enemy in the vovchanchan direction, our defenders are knocking out just small and... tactical groups of the enemy, which is represented there by this 153rd tank

regiment of the 47th tank division, because they were just advancing in the residential area of ​​the city of vovchansk, but they were stopped there and pushed back. thank you for sharing nazar voloshyn, spokesman for the kortekets operational-strategic grouping of troops, lieutenant colonel was on espresso, now we have a short break, after that we continue, there are a lot of events today, so stay with espresso. attention, total sale, kors garden trimmers, unpack the tv with a discount of only 799 uah, only 799 for a reliable tool, high power, ease of use, very profitable, minimum effort, maximum result, order in time while the video is being broadcast. the trimmers are light and very powerful, gas mowing near fences, along the path line, near the sidewalk, curb, around trees and... trimming bushes and even branches is simple and easy, leave big heavy mowers in the past, choose

deputy head of the office, kyrylo tymoshenko, yes, to whom they came in order to... see if he sometimes had some important for the investigation, for the investigation documents and not only, probably, well , we know about it from the confirmation of tymoshenko herself, how far this case can go, and if we are talking about prospects, to reach out to a wide and powerful circle of people, yes, who were engaged in all that work, well, to some extent, this the event is not alone, because... in parallel not so long ago, the resignation of the vice-prime minister on issues of infrastructure restoration, kubrakov, and a similar situation is specific around golyk, and yuriy, who also has a relationship to these issues of large-scale construction, and this

is already one of the recent events, whether it was a search or some other procedural story with tymoshenko. er, in a broad sense, this shows that in fact, er, this partial and mass resignations of people are related to the infrastructure, and these are all cases, they show that in fact, it is not the story of tymoshenko alone. a wider circle of persons may be involved there, and as it was seen from the media there was such a story that apparently golyk and tymoshenko had already tried at some stage. where to transfer, conditionally speaking, the main focus of blame to one person, so that someone remains the main culprit, but it is most likely that it will not be possible to do this now. and look, as for nabu, we understand, yes, that this case keeps nabu under control, and here we understand that, well, some american, i

think, observers of this case, in general, how can it seriously develop this business, or? well, we understand that there will also be attempts by certain circles there, i don't know, to turn the matter into a hoot. well, first of all, i think it's partly, a bit exaggerated on our part , the expectation of naboo, because naboo is still, despite some public communication aspects of it, it's an investigative body like any other. yes, in this case, the resignation took place not so long ago. guizou of the head of the first deputy head of nabu, too , with sufficiently specific messages that accompanied it in the media, which could talk about the fact that the branch is involved in the sale. to the sale of cases, to the collapse of cases, yes, that is why it is most likely that the americans do not fully understand now in ukraine, through whom

they should monitor this situation, because they tried to concentrate certain powers and authority around nabu, there are also internal scandals in nabu, internal problems are related, including the most likely corruption, and therefore i think, of course, western partners. is following it, but they are now in such an intermediate stage, when they do not really understand what to do with this phenomenon, because to some extent the fate of all ukrainian investigative bodies could befall them? well, actually, when we talk about these raids and the scandals that are currently unfolding around naboo, and these raids in general, we understand that this signal sent by blinkin, while in kyiv, forced our leaders... a little in this regard , to shake up our system in order to make, well , at least the appearance that we are fighting corruption, but the fight against corruption is real and the appearance of fighting corruption is another thing,

in addition, we also saw in recent days andriy yermak's post that ukraine is not the most corrupt country, and here the actual question is whether our government is aware of these claims of our partners, and whether it is really ready to do something about it in your opinion. yes, he realizes, but this is objectively a very exaggerated trend. if we think that the west doesn't support corrupt states, well, we don't understand anything about the modern west, yes, iraq, afghanistan, supporting the contras in central america, yes, various other stories, just a problem in because we have a misconception that the fight against corruption is the arrest of corrupt officials, yes, it is... imaginary, because in reality the fight against corruption is systemic reforms, legislative changes, changes to various management instructions, that is, in general, it is difficult , painstaking, paper

work, which you won't show much on tv, because it doesn't look politically significant, profitable, and the main problem is that later the cases of corrupt officials end up in the courts and they fall apart there, either because they were during. the investigations were bought, so this collapse was bought, or because they were made from the beginning with a very bad scarecrow, and this is a big systemic problem, and blinkin also said about it, by the way, in the 21st year, that we already have a god know how many anti-corruption verticals there are, and there are no high-profile cases as such, but there are some movements there, there is some progress, but there is no specific big case that could be called... the success of this system, and to say that the government it is somehow very opposed to it there, you can only, you know, from such an angle that the government can

indeed, to publicly disagree and conflict with them, but in the end, all these people look like they are from the same boat, that is, we see people associated with anti-corruption organizations in various state bodies in the region. including law enforcement officers, we see people, relatively speaking, from anti-corruption investigative bodies, we see some in between, fluctuations and so on are revealed, that is, there is no such idea that the anti-corruption community is such a secret order, which the event bet on and he tries with it our impure power to fight, it looks more like we are creating a partial screen for... the west, yes, and sometimes we just don't know what to do when we are asked for such abstract things as overcoming corruption, and this is an absolute

abstraction, this absolutely sociological abstraction, because overcoming corruption is a huge, sociologically tangible process that lasts for decades in society, can last for decades, but the key story is the pace and very specific cases, how about you? they said, but speaking of high-profile cases, well here is the case of people's deputy tyshchenko, it is quite loud, yes, and the court has already decided even to choose a precautionary measure for him, to stay at home, so to speak, around the clock, a bracelet and so on, and so on, how do you think it will all go the matter is further, for example, when we talk about a possible vote on whether or not to deprive him of his mandate as a people's deputy, and in general, whether it will be... reputation,

well, it won't be, tell me. yes, some legal actions to take away the mandate due to the fact that this is minus one piece in the ruling coalition, but it is quite likely that tyshchenko will simply be pushed even further away from the faction, so there will finally be an additional statement that we are excluding tyshchenko from all our from party chats there, from our party organizations there, and so on, that he is now completely non-party there, we ask you not to associate him with us, but we understand that in... in private order, he will still be tied to that or another influence group connected with the government, because it is impossible to replace tyshchenko with another deputy now, due to the fact that tyshchenko is a majoritarian, as far as i remember, accordingly, no one will hold majoritarian elections in his district during the war and replace him with another candidate, the authorities have no opportunity, and this topic is about preserving the number of bayonets in the factions. well, not

in the faction of the government, in the conditional, in the conditional pro-government coalition within the parliament, they care a lot about this, because there was a story with trukhin, there was a story with other people's deputies who fell into trouble loud scandals, and what was happening, they were , of course, excluded from the political body of the party, but they remained part of such an invisible coalition, who voted at the right time, for the right things in power, not ... just not affiliated with a specific political group and that's it, well and finally about the debate, we literally have a minute and a half, what are your impressions after the debate between trump and biden, because now everyone mostly writes that it was a completely unsuccessful debate for biden, but biden himself does not think so, it was not failures, but the biggest problem is that biden looked very tired, trump

misinformed some of his own. and biden tried to emphasize this several times, and factually, of course, biden seemed more prepared from the point of view of theory, that is, he could refer to some things, factually somewhere trump was omitted, trump still acted in a more emotional presentation, so events, in more of that particular personal perception, but he looked much more convincing because he was giving it... his emotion, he looked much more active, and as a result already in the democratic media, such as cnn, the insider was poured there almost immediately, one of the top cnn journalists said that the democrats plan to visit the white house to ask biden not to run, but to find some other candidate from the democrats instead. in any case, this is a crisis moment for the democratic party, which can hardly be called

positive. thank you yaslav boshko, the head of the center for political studies of the doctrine, was on the espresso airwaves, but we are moving on, the time for news on the espresso tv channel has already passed, so we are transmitting a word to our colleague annieva melnyk, who with the news editors are already ready to share with us all the most important state of affairs at this moment, annoyeva, we congratulate you, we congratulate you on the day of the constitution of ukraine, in fact, we hope that you are also in a little festive mood today, just like us, so please share with us what you and the news editors managed to find out. to each other, good afternoon, colleagues, thank you for your work, i will continue to work, together with the news team, we will tell you about the main thing, i will start with the fact that the muscovites attacked odessa, all the details, then stay with us.
