, that is, adjacent to the kupyan direction, that is in the area of ​​responsibility of our brigade, the enemy's constant assaults are currently ongoing, currently he uses infantry more, uses light equipment, such as there is heavy and the like, and uses light armored vehicles much less, and... because it suffered a lot of losses in light armored vehicles, but nevertheless, due to the large number of enemy personnel, at the moment the situation is very difficult in the lines of responsibility of our brigade. please tell me, do you know what is currently happening near the settlement of pishkane and what forces the enemy has there now, perhaps they know about it, such as

operational and tactical plans, because now, if you look at the deep state map, the village pishchane, whether it is a settlement or a town, i don’t know specifically, but there it looks like the enemy is trying to break through closer to this oskil reservoir, well , this is the area of ​​responsibility of another brigade, but in principle it is the case along the entire front line, which is about ... walks here in the east of the kharkiv region, everywhere trying to push the defense forces to oskol, and this is, in principle, their mission at the moment, their goal. see if they're keeping your frontline under tension, or if they're really trying to move more of their reserves and resources there, and maybe kharkiv region, kharkiv direction, in particular the direction. borova can

become one of the enemy's fire priorities, or are they just trying, well, forgive me for such easy cynicism, or are they going to turn it into a protective direction or keep it at the current level? and i want to tell you that it has been a long time since three months have been one of the priority directions, and quite a lot will be involved here. of its troops and is trying to create such a very painful area for ukraine in order to have to introduce some reserves and the like, that's why at the moment they are already trying to advance, it is very difficult for them to succeed, in the area of ​​our responsibility it is extremely difficult to succeed, they have a lot of strength here...

they have lost a lot of personnel, but this is such a priority direction, you could say. i wanted to ask you about drones, we understand that now it is... a war of technology and the enemy, unfortunately, in this aspect, it continues to improve, but we are also not standing still, how does the situation with drones and drones look now? drones are used all the time, a very large number of damage is done precisely with the help of drones, it is also used for mining, also drones, well, new regular units are being introduced. with drones in different areas and in engineering troops and in all directions and in battalions and everywhere, because drones, the use of drones has many different

directions, it is the destruction of enemy fire points, and the destruction of enemy fortifications, and mining, and even can be... be used as an ammunition carrier, so the direction of unmanned systems is one of the priorities in our brigade, and it is very active we use it, well, and also, of course, in reb systems as well, this is one of the priority areas, this is one of the priority areas, because the enemy also uses a lot... a lot of anti-aircraft fire, a lot of fpv drones, and tries to hit the artillery there with long-range fpv drones, that is why air defense, also the reb works

for us and they plant their pivos, and shoot them down, and shoot down the halls and eagles there, that is, we work very hard in this direction. look, mr. viktor, there is information that your 77th separate airmobile brigade needs additional attack unmanned aerial systems rubak, target - 700 uah, everything is correct, but look, i don't know what everyone wants to call rubak unmanned systems, well, unmanned complexes, rubak is a company of attack unmanned vehicles, that is. that is, well , this is one of the strongest, most powerful units of ours, which use precisely fpv drones, and they perform the most tasks, precisely at the brigade level, and harvest the most enemy, just recently they destroyed

a self-propelled howitzer along with a whole kamaz full of ammunition, which was approaching just, in addition, there were four tanks, and it is also used very much in repulsing assaults, so this is a company of unmanned attack systems, it inflicts maximum damage on the enemy, and we are just getting ready to equip it with various means, since we have a very critical situation, you need as many of them as possible. these are antennas and various cables for antennas, i.e. we need a lot of product range, and that is why we are collecting funds in order to strengthen ourselves, well, the state simply in some places cannot provide us with the full breadth of this product range, that is, fpv itself

drones are provided to us by the state in rather large quantities, and volunteers provide them, but the nomenclature for servicing this equipment is much more complicated. and there specifically , specialists should purchase it, it has been checked which one they can work with, well, let's say , which one they are used to working with. here, mr. viktor, i would like to simply reinforce you, your message, here is the military and the 77th separate airmobile brigade, the fighters are now in the direction of kharkiv, the direction of borova, there are ongoing battles, fierce battles, so it may be, that the level of intensity of those battles will increase. and they ask, dear tv viewers, guys, to help them defend you, defend kharkiv and not only kharkiv, so you just saw the qr code, the message, well, they are gathering for additional equipment that would allow to launch this normally functioning,

in some places russia is successful, the situation is difficult in the siversky direction, where the russians are actively storming the positions of our fighters. the enemy has concentrated its main efforts on the pokrovsk direction, and throws the most prepared assault units into battle and tries to break through defense in the direction of zhelanne, novogrodivka and pokrovsk. well, now we will talk about geopolitics. question: oleg shamshur, diplomat, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the united states from 2005 to 2010 and ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to france from 2014 to 2020. mr. oleg, we are glad to see you and welcome you to our air. i 'll help you too. mr. oleg, i would like to start with a statement from the commission on the national defense strategy of the united states. late last night there was such a big one on voice of america. said, ah, a what if message a global war will begin, there is a possibility that

we will lose it, this was stated by the commission on the strategy of national defense of the united states, there it was noted that russia, china, north korea and iran already exceed the capabilities of the united states and european partners, and they can say that it is already it is an established fact that these countries with a dictatorial style of politics have already cooperated with each other and can be significant. dangerous to our planet and to our world and say that, unfortunately, they believe that the public has no idea how serious the current threats are, that you can you tell about it? first of all, i haven't read this message yet, and it's probably a commission, some kind of public organization, most likely, but the senate of the united states armed forces, and the commission of the armed forces is a completely different matter, that is, from what you said absolutely correctly, that is, it is

a statement that the participants of the so-called... axis of evil, or the axis of opposition, as it is sometimes called, in principle, they pose a serious threat to the united states and to the entire democratic world, that is, that which has already been said a thousand times, that there really is a confrontation between the world of democracy and the world of authoritarianism, and here now... it must be recognized that those countries that represent the world of authoritarianism are acting effectively enough, and it is absolutely correct, that it is necessary that not only western politicians, i hope that most of them still understand that there is an enemy, that there is a threat, and that

the public, ordinary ordinary americans, ordinary europeans, that is, now really... a lot of issues are being solved, as biden said, i i absolutely agree with him, now is a turning point, and what political decisions will be made will depend on how the balance of power in the world will be for the next decades, and maybe even more, that is , the situation is very serious, and the key question now, as two years ago, this is the issue of the war in ukraine, how it will end, under what conditions, and will depend to a large extent on how international politics will develop. yes, we agree, there is more than just a war between russia and ukraine, or a ukrainian-russian war situation on the battlefield, this is another story about a tool in the american elections. we understand that both democrats and republicans

actively interpret certain further steps in their favor, but speaking. about the current aggravation in the middle east, mr. ambassador, i would like you to explain in simple language, but it is not possible to do without this missile attack, without the elimination of ismail hania, you understand, well, maybe not the last person in hezbollah, yes, well, maybe not the biggest hawk in hezbollah, and we understand what it is there's a kind of, well... well, the escalation of the situation actually in the middle east, and it could all really end in an additional, additional war, a full-scale, full-scale war, not only a limited military conflict, but the involvement of third countries, for example, the same iran? uh, i agree with you in the sense that really

the situation in the middle east in the war between hamas and... israel or, frankly, between iran and israel, the stakes are really high here as well, if you look at it, it's one of the two points of tension, really hotspots, i.e. one - this is the war in ukraine, the war against russian aggression, and on the other hand the situation in the middle east, and it is not accidental that this is happening, we understand well. that the actions of hamas were, uh, well, let's say this, not only coordinated, but directed by iran, and iran obviously coordinated its actions, with another, and with china, and one of the goals that it pursued at the same time was precisely to distract attention from

the war in ukraine, and make things even more difficult. and life for our partners, how to act in this situation, it is now possible to evaluate the steps taken by the israeli management and motives, well, at the same time, it is difficult to give an assessment without knowing for sure what the situation is, let's say. the arguments were in favor of striking these blows, it can really complicate the situation, and at the same time, i looked at the assessments that are being made now. on the part of the americans, on the part of western experts, some say that this very act of striking in the very heart of iran can be

a deterrent because it will show iran and hamas that israel still has long enough arms, i.e. i'm not going to draw any final conclusions, but... it is clear that the level of tension, it is increasing, and i would say that it is increasing even without the latest strikes from israel, of course, i think that the leadership of the united states is not happy with these actions, and it is obvious that this will complicate the process of reaching some kind of agreement some kind regarding the ceasefire, regarding the release of hostages, but in the near future it will be clear what the consequences of these actions will be. mr.

oleg, let's go back to the domestic political situation in the united states, so the election campaign is in full swing, kamala harris and donald trump almost nose to nose in the ratings, it is not known who will win, the campaign there is said to be quite active and... serious, but it was not without scandals, so the last scandal related to this topic, trump declared that garis started pretending to be african-american to appeal to the voters, that 's what he said, and we understand that he's starting to speculate that she's a black woman, actually, and he initially speculated when there was joseph biden, that he's too old, now that kamala harris, younger than him, begins to gain momentum, he begins. to speculate on the topic of her skin and her origin, well, first of all, how do you evaluate this tactic of trump, is it profitable, do americans like it, or

can this topic develop and acquire new dimensions? do americans like it, we 'll see on november 5, the fact that the fight is very tough, it's obvious, it 's expected, it's politics, and it has a... character on both sides, you have to look at the situation objectively, i think that now we we see two points, well, first of all, to a certain extent after biden withdrew from the race, the situation returned to the one, that is , the balance of forces, again returned to the, i would say, starting point, which was before... the presidential debate , that is, really nose to nose, but on the other hand, and even more significantly, that we see enthusiasm in the

democratic camp, we see the unification of the party around haris, she managed to take control of the election campaign quite quickly in 32 hours, we see , that... now she is doing everything possible and for now successful enough to rebuild the obama coalition, i.e. support from blacks, support from women, support from young people, and now basically on the other side, now everything is being decided who can create the image of ee ha or herself by making relevant statements and relying on those who support her, and an image is created,

an image that may not fully correspond to the actual political skills, experience, achievements of harris, or the republicans and trump will do it, thanks to those frontal attacks. of which you said, and here, as they say, this is a fight without rules, it is very important that harris has now not only managed to return to the gap within the limits of statistical death at the national level in support from the voters, that is, trump is still ahead, but it is two or three, sometimes 1%. it is important that she reduced the backlog in the so-called swing states, that is, in those states where the fate

of the presidential race will be decided. whether she can maintain that advantage remains to be seen, and to some extent it depends on who she chooses as vice president, that is, this choice will be dictated first of all, and i would say, even solely by the considerations of the election pre-election struggle, whether this person will be able to mobilize an additional electorate that will support ". mr. ambassador, a naive question, but in fact, well, the question is quite serious, at one time we remember the political biography of the current president joseph biden, that is, he is not a new person in big politics and in geopolitics, what concerns, for example, kamele geris, well, i prefer her for her rhetoric and her own value orientation, it rather reminds me of barack obama, whom you mentioned, and

we remember that the occupation of... crimea by the russian federation became possible precisely during the presidency of barack obama, so reload the refrigerator, remove the comfort of relations and so on and so further, there is no fear in you that, paradoxically, kamela harris can play this kind of obama game at our expense, it does not mean that i am saying that trump's plans or trump himself are a challenge. they don't trust me at all, but i just wouldn't want to become, you know, with someone like that hostage to the situation, because this is our country, we live in it, indeed, harris reminds me a lot of her political trajectory, it resembles the trajectory of obama in many points, at the same time , it must be admitted that she has neither the charisma nor the intellectual abilities of barack obama, that is, in in this regard, yes, i

have said more than once. that for ukraine, obama was one of the worst, if not the worst, president of the united states, and what we are seeing, here is the russian aggression, is largely a consequence of obama's policy, when he, as you remember, said that support for ukraine does not belong to vital interests of the united states, now he's kind of done a mega culp, he's admitted his mistakes, but how much is uh... honestly , i have some doubts about harris, it's very hard to tell what the political views are, because when she, never she was a senator, she did not speak on foreign policy issues, and she was never the vice president, then all her statements, which are now trying to interpret and find some hints there, were still statements of the biden administration and all statements. absolutely,

i'm sure, were absolutely aligned with biden or with his external political team, there are opinions that she will continue the biden line in support of ukraine, but i don't think she will do more, and at the same time, going back to what you said, you have to understand, that she has neither experience nor foreign policy skills. biden, she does not have biden's experience, that is, his understanding of what is coming, how serious it is, his understanding of what the consequences of mine may be, the victory of russia, or at least the implementation of part of its plan for of ukraine, and in this respect, i think,

are more understandable and closer to her. thank you, mr. oleg, oleg shamshur, diplomat, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the states from 2005 to 2010 and ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to france from 2014 to 2020, it is now 3 p.m., which means that news time has already passed. so we pass the floor to our beautiful colleague kateryna shiropoyas, who is ready to share with us all the most important state for this moment. kateryna, we pass the word on and ask you to inform us about what we managed to find out. congratulations colleagues, already for mitosis it is about how a criminal group of drug dealers was arrested in odesa and how the memory of the great poet and social activist lesya ukrainka was commemorated in kyiv at the fairy-tale cemetery.
