in these questions, that is, what prospects would it open for the defense forces of ukraine, if these red lines were really removed and f-16s would already be used by the armed forces? f-16s have a fairly wide range of weapons, which are long-range and highly accurate. it is like an air-type weapon for destroying air targets, primarily we are interested in destroying russian aircraft before they get into position. upon striking the territory of ukraine, either with missile weapons or by dropping its corrected aerial bombs, as well as the f-16 range includes gm-158 jas cruise missiles that can be used not only on the territory temporarily occupied by ukraine, but also on the territory of the russian federation for surface strikes on military targets. and

indeed, in order for this functionality of this fighter to be fully disclosed, an appropriate permit is needed, and if permission is given for the f-16, it is the most massive light fighter in the world, but ukraine is waiting for them for a very long time and it is not clear when they will exactly end up in ukraine , and i do i understand that sweden, after all, was determined to take perhaps the most operational actions, or even more, but will we use the gripen every year. the range of strike weapons, and it is limited, it is not as large as on the f16, and this is the first point, the second point, we now have pilots training for the f-16 in various countries that are the operators of the f16, and some of them are suppliers of the f16 , some spare parts, some are preparing technical personnel, that is, now it is a large number of both pilots and technical personnel. are undergoing and

even completed the training, and where did they undergo it training, a large number of personnel from that, just recently the president said that we need 128 aircraft, and where would we get 128 gripens, and where would we train 128 pilots and where would we train technical personnel that could service 128 aircraft in sweden until what year, until 2034, so now... we proceed precisely from the rationality of using the f-16, the fact that there is a corresponding delay is recognized, but there are both objective and subjective reasons, but precisely the fact that it is precisely the most massive from a logistical and service point of view plane, that's why he won the election, that is , you need a lot of resources in order to master such and such a type of weapon in parallel, do i understand you correctly? and i, mr. oleksandr, also

want to ask you about this. bloomberg wrote the other day that the war in ukraine can last for many years, since its end depends not only not so much on the tactics there on the battlefield, but also on which side exhausts its resources first , after the nato summit, can ukraine be sure that this alliance, european partners will not armed forces of ukraine to exhaust this military resource first. russia, for example, well, in terms of resources, we are totally and completely dependent on our international partners, so everything depends on how our requests that we send to our partners for the supply of equipment, weapons, ammunition and so on and so forth will be met. another, and if everything will work like clockwork, then of course we will not exhaust our resource, because in the west it is much larger than in russia, and in russia.

there are already problems with being able to continue this war at even the intensity that was not what i am talking about in the 22nd, 23rd, even at the beginning of the 24th year, that is, it has a corresponding problem with the technically mechanized component and not only that. in general , training in belarusian is currently taking place in belarus, and it is not far from the border with poland, and it is a joint training of the military of belarus and china, the head of nato. yen stoltenberg commented on it as follows: according to him, authoritarian regimes are getting closer and closer, as china is getting closer to the borders of nato, not only in europe, but also in africa and other regions, in your opinion, is nato preparing to respond to this, and what is the balance of power here? we will not react too much to this, well , this is now demagoguery, the unit that is currently in belarus is not about anything at all. i mean, will nato respond to

the challenges that china, belarus, and russia are getting closer, and other countries on the contrary, they have gotten closer, have gotten closer since the 2000s. these exercises are conducted in belarus jointly with the chinese, and they were held in 2011, 18, constantly annually, no one paid attention to them, only now they turned their attention, these exercises are joint, they are not only systemic, they had a pause in connection with the full-scale invasion of the territory of ukraine, they were not conducted in 22-23 years, in 24 decided to restore, so there is nothing surprising in this. and there is not the same contingent of rapprochement, the rapprochement of belarus and china, it happened a long time ago, and china’s investment in belarus is quite large, as well as military-technical cooperation, even this vaunted russian belarusian polones multiple rocket launcher system, this

the belarusian-chinese belarusian highway, and the chinese launcher and missiles, among other things, it was belarus... that country after the collapse of the soviet union, which was the first, the largest, and most of all merged all the soviet technologies of china, which only in belarus were soviet technologies , which she possessed, she angered china, so beijing is very grateful to minsk for this, so there has been cooperation there for 30 years, at least, nothing strange, nothing strange and nothing new, and thank you. oleksandr, who joined, oleksandr kovalenko, military columnist of the information resistance group, was a guest of svoboda ranok. and then we will talk about what is happening at the front. the hottest spot remains the pokrovsky direction in donetsk region, where 41 combat clashes took place in a day. this is what

the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine says. they say that the occupying forces are concentrating their efforts in the areas of novooleksandrivka and progress. the russian army, with the support of aviation , is trying to break through the defenses there, and battles continue near vozdvizhenka, sokol, novoselivka, persha, kalinovy ​​and karlivka. the general staff reported that in this direction it was possible to destroy a tank, two infantry fighting vehicles, an artillery system, and another 16 pieces of military equipment were damaged, including six guns and mortars. the intensity of the fighting in this direction does not decrease, in recent days up to 40 assaults per day have been recorded there, and shelling of the track has also been recorded. pokrovsk kostiantynka, from which the battle line is about 5 km away. this is evidenced by deep state data. also, the day before , analysts said that russian troops occupied the village of yevhenivka on the pokrovsky direction so, what is the situation there, we will talk further. anastasia blyshchyk, spokeswoman for the 47th

separate mechanized brigade, joined our broadcast. greetings, thanks for joining. glory to ukraine. glory as a hero. tell me, please, what is the situation in the pokrovsky direction now? well, look. in the pokrov direction , the situation is now very difficult and in some places it is hellish, the russian occupiers are climbing non -stop around the clock, now they are infantrymen, these are their assault actions, one group goes, it is eliminated, another comes after it, the third, 10-15, that is, these are round-the-clock continuous assault actions, and we do not see the enemy's equipment on the battlefield now, because these units with which we are fighting now simply ran out, because in a month and a half... active with such an active use of enemy armored vehicles, the soldiers of the 47th separately mechanized brigade burned about 250 units, after that they switched to infantry assault operations, er, just now, if you watch the video from drones, it is littered with corpses of muscovites and

russian occupiers, they are so , that's it just poor bastards, they go, they hate to sit next to the corpses of the so -called... their comrades hate to drink water from a well that is simply covered by these liquidated russian occupiers, instead our equipment works, these are american bradleys, our american abrams tanks, and we do everything , in order to eliminate the russian occupiers as much as possible. according to our information, fresh units should soon enter this direction and we expect that they will already have armored vehicles in service, they will resume their assault actions with support armored vehicles what do you think is the reason for the increased number of attacks in this direction? well, for them, this direction is important, and after capturing avdiivka, they did not stop, they are moving on, and the russian occupiers, the russian command, in particular,

do not mind simply throwing tens of thousands of their russian soldiers to the slaughter in order for them to just captured one street of the village, the number of which was... before these bastards came, 350 people, that is, they go and just destroy everything in their path, their very powerful artillery, 24/7, it could just be in a day under... 500 shots, also cabs, rockets, yesterday, unfortunately, they killed civilians, and among them were children, one child was injured, another child died, unfortunately , that is , the russian forces have resources and human and technical weapons in this direction, and they do not skimp on this, as far as i understand you, well, they do not skimp on shells, in terms of equipment, so now they are very sorry for it, that is, we continue. to beat by technique, but in the rear of the enemy, that is, on the battlefield, as they used to do before

their equipment as a taxi, if only in order to bring up the personnel, because when their infantry was just moving, we destroyed it even before the approach, they also actively use accumulation tactics, this is when they move, well, it can be one occupier , which is moving on the battlefield, maybe two, three, they are gathering somewhere in one place, place, and here it is necessary to understand that it is necessary to go ahead, to find out in which place they are. accumulates and continues to beat in that place so that they do not go on, do not storm our positions, the equipment they now regret on the battlefield and we simply do not see it for more than a month, these may be isolated cases, but we still detect, of course, and now fpv drones are very good at burning russian armored vehicles, and the goal of the rev force is now to get closer to the pokrovsk kostyantynivka track, yes, of course, this is a logistics route and... they are moving towards it, they are slowly breaking them, they are taking very big losses,

but just for us, they are big big losses, we look at it and we are shocked, despite the fact that we are constantly watching these spring storms, and for them it's normal, simple the russian occupiers, they leave, they look at these corpses, they have no emotions on their faces, they simply do not care, they were told to leave, they leave, and they take their own from the battlefield, the wounded there, for example, or the bodies of russian soldiers . or not, no, they don’t take them away, but there were cases, we saw when they pulled corpses out of landings, well, because they had to sit there, maybe they already smelled really bad there, so they just dragged them out onto the road and these corpses were so they were lying in rows, but they don't evacuate them because they are sent to assaults, they just go in one direction, they understand that if they turn back, they will be punished, they are also afraid to surrender voluntarily, because they ... talk about the fact that if their command finds out about it, and when they are exchanged, they will be punished for it,

so it happens that they choose self-destruction instead of life, that is, they eliminate themselves with small arms, there are a lot of such cadres, they blow themselves up with a grenade, or they ask their so-called comrades to finish them off, that is, what you are observing in the pokrovsk direction these days, these weeks, i understand correctly, and what we are observing, and these and the information about what does not allow us to surrender there . i am punishing you for this, you learned from the russian soldiers who surrendered or were captured, from the russian prisoners, and when they were told, well, ours scared them, now you will leave, now you will go back there, they are just their men, they are in they have tears in their eyes, they say please don't send us back, but many prisoners are still on it direction in recent weeks, no, i won't say that there are many prisoners, after all, here they are choosing death, wow, thank you, anastasia, thank you for joining... told about the situation in the pokrovsky direction, it is important to follow, we emphasize this in the broadcasts following what is happening at the front,

that you were recently in britain, just as their election was going on there. ah... we know one more person who has also already gone to britain. valery zaluzhny yesterday posted a photo of himself, where he is no longer in military uniform, in a beautiful blue suit, wrote that he continues to serve ukraine in ukraine, and began to perform the duties of the extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland. here is this photo, either when you were in britain or something the british asked you about. worthy, what can they expect, what they eventually said about him, including , yes, of course, that in particular, people involved in politics know who valery zaluzhny is, and expect increased cooperation, in fact, britain is a very important partner for ukraine, you know , which britain leads, is

a leader in many projects related to assistance to ukraine. and here, these recent statements of the already newly elected prime minister regarding the possibilities for us to defend ourselves and in this way hit with long-range missiles deep into russia for relevant military purposes, these permits, of course, all this indicates an active support, besides, britain was one of those countries from the beginning. leaders, which helps us promote the use of frozen russian assets for the benefit of ukraine, for the reconstruction of ukraine, and in fact it is very actively working on the implementation of all legal mechanisms to implement them in particular and in its own country, and so that other countries can also apply,

so that not only not only the income from the frozen... assets, but also the frozen assets themselves could be used in the future, used for the benefit of the reconstruction of ukraine. as in general, the elections there were held in britain, you saw something useful for us, for our political system in the motherland of parliamentarianism. well, first of all, i want to say that, of course, at the moment, when we are at war and we are defending ourselves, we cannot and will not talk about any elections in ukraine, but this is the case in britain. on the 4th of july , the parliamentary elections were held and there is a really interesting electoral system there, they have two chambers, the house of lords, the house of commons, and actually it was an election to... to the house of commons, they have 650 deputies, and moreover, for example , there are only 400

or so personalized seats in the parliament, that is, there is no such thing as in our parliament, where each people's deputy has his own separately determined seat, well, in general, when we talk about the elections and the campaigns themselves, in various political forces and different candidates, it was really very interesting to watch, first of all... i want to say that in britain, as in the states, in particular, there is no proportional system, there is only a full majority system, that is, they have 650 constituencies in britain, respectively 650 people were elected deputies, half of the composition of the parliament was renewed, and it was very interesting to watch the campaigns themselves, when almost every candidate used the so-called door-to-door system, because in britain they have very... significantly limited political advertising, we practically did not see billboards anywhere , citylights, these could only be some posters on the private territory of specific british people,

and in the same way in japan, in japan, deputies literally walk the streets, ride buses and meet with voters endlessly, but advertising does not attack, these boards do not attack people, literally, absolutely we had the opportunity to do that. to observe how they, both the current people's deputies who were re-elected and the new candidates, they really carried out this campaign, they went around several times, and that their campaign was quite short, went around all the houses where their potential voters live, talked with them, and the election itself, the election day itself was really very... interesting, well, for understanding, we are used to when we come to the polling station that a commission of representatives sits in our different parties, that is, it is a lot of people, as i

recall, probably 20 people, eh, there you come to the precinct, and the precinct can be located, located even in the premises of the church, in various places, and in schools, but not in the moscow patriarchate, i hope, well , at least this, at least... this is so, and there are only two people sitting at the polling station who issue ballots, booths, absolutely even without curtains, everything happens so transparently, and the votes are not counted at the polling stations themselves, but are then taken to a separately designated place, we also had the opportunity to observe the counting, and only where the counting takes place are the so-called observers. or representatives of various parties, who are not watching so that someone there, god forbid, does not falsify, but so that someone accidentally

, unwillingly, miscalculates, well, of course, these are also tired people, everything happens at night , while someone will finish, something, something unattainable for us, something recently someone, i just think, here are the candidates who are walking, they come with balls of buckwheat, of course not, they come with their newspapers, flyers, with their programs, their achievements and talk about themselves. well, of course, it has become a democracy and there is so much trust in society that no one even thinks about any machinations, well, i really want to hope that we will also in time achieve such trust in our country, and we will not observe all the chaos, shenanigans that, unfortunately, over the years. took place in ukraine during the elections, here is such an example of real trust and real traditional, long-lasting democracy.

you see, ms. alena, we even know, it's already underway after our conversation, it is clear what needs to be done: we will ban political advertising in the next elections, any external and any in the media, and we agreed, they have media, they have advertising in the media, but it is also limited, and ... each party has an appropriate number of slots, and this is really very interesting, that is, everyone has some level, equal access and equal conditions, because we cannot, we cannot advertise deputies and parties as flomycin, some medical, indeed pseudo-medical, well, because it doesn't have to to work, because that fuflomycin fell out there, it didn't help you, but that's half the problem, but since you elected already bad deputies, well, that's a problem. for at least 5 years, and i also wanted to say that the main step is something else, this is parliamentarism, absolutely,

sooner or later, already for... now we need to think about changing the constitution in order to finally bring it to constitutional normal order ukraine should be either parliamentary or presidential. tertium is non-dator, that is, of course it is a dator, but it just doesn't work well, constant dragging power, avoidance of responsibility, by the way, they also had such a precedent, which had not happened for more than 100 years, when the labor party with such a margin ... came in, it essentially formed a monomajority, they gained more than 400 mandates, and you saw how quickly everything happened in them, the change of the prime minister at once on the same day, one makes the mandate, then it was not some, i don't know, month-long discussions about who, how, with what program, well, everything is so fast, quickly. well

, really, it is, first of all, in order to there was no gap in powers and certain state functions were not compromised, this is primarily for the functioning of the state, they themselves are interested in this. during the full-scale invasion of britain, the fourth prime minister, it seems to me that ukrainians know better the names and surnames of those prime ministers who were in britain during this time than ours. of the prime minister, of course, which we are all forced to observe due to the circumstances in which we are now, we are all interested, so that each new government, which is elected in those or other countries that support us in our defense, so that each new person is an even bigger supporter for ukraine, so yes, due to the circumstances in

which we are, we are watching. and we attract as much as possible to our side, ms. galina, thank you for this story about how the democracy of a healthy person works in britain, galina vasylchenko, a people's deputy of ukraine was with us, she told a little about how the elections were held there, which their features, dear friends, and we are gradually approaching on the 10th in the morning, this means that now there will be a fresh selection of news, kateryna shirokpoyas will tell it to them, in the meantime i want to say that 18 00 has been added to our collection, we still have a few hours of the marathon ahead of us, and i hope that in this the moment you actually come across our reminder, listen and show that qr code in the corner, maybe now people just can't show it, that's it, dear friends, so wait for the end of the news, wait for our return, we will remind you about our

collection for the 100th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. well, now kateryna shiropoyas from news katya, you have a word. congratulations olesya. andrii, in a moment i will tell you about the meeting between hungarian prime minister viktor orbán and donald trump, and which ukrainians can receive compensation for lost housing. news time on the espresso tv channel. kateryna shiropoyas works in the studio. the russians attacked ukraine again at night. the enemy launched five kh101 cruise missiles and 19 drones. the main direction of attack of the staro konstantin anti-aircraft defense forces shot down all missiles and 11 chessmen. the remaining eight drones were lost to location. probably to overload ours.
