there are their national interests, of course, the democrats in the united states need a trump card, and they are ready if they use it, but remember, at one time, the exchange of spies during the caribbean crisis on the eve of the caribbean crisis led to an escalation of the conflict, why? because it is very likely that now... and the so-called good russians in the west are starting to talk about putin's crazy plans and opportunities and, of course, they are becoming the primary source. it is very important for us not to reduce the pressure on our western partners, and therefore it is great that now in more than one delegation is in the united states, here in general you can only applaud standing, that there are a lot of opposition deputies as well. issued

in order to communicate with our partners in the united states, because there are a huge number of challenges, this is also the prohibition of agent networks under the guise of religious organizations, this is also a question of how we in the western world and ukraine, in particular, as a part of the western world in the future and in fact, to organize our region with you. and to push the democratic boundaries even further, this is also a question economic, at that time, and food security, that is why there are so many questions, and i really hope that the release of the so-called russian oppositionists will play into the hands of someone in the united states no less than for the consolidation of the western world, for the understanding that... the question of the empire on the borders of europe must

be destroyed. thank you, mr. yaroslav, i will once again remind our tv viewers that we work live and ask you, friends, about this, is telegram a source of information for you? yes, no, vote, literally in 10 minutes we are let's sum up the results of this vote, on the screen you see phone numbers, if you watch us on tv, everything is quite simple on youtube, yes, no, or your own version, please write in the comments below. video, also, ladies and gentlemen, very briefly, i would like to ask you about what exactly the verkhovna rada is doing now after ruslan stefanchuk announced that there will be a break in the sessions, he said that this is not a vacation, and that these four weeks, until august 19 , the verkhovna rada will not work, and it all ended on a note, if i am not mistaken, on on that note that... the opposition, the parliamentary

opposition insisted on the consideration in the second reading of the draft law that would ban the activity of the moscow church in ukraine, and so it is somehow unclear, this pause that arose, what kind of pause is it, or already during this pause, an agreement was reached on whether this draft law will be introduced on august 19 or on august 18, when the meetings of the verkhovna rada of ukraine will begin, whether there are any other agreements in principle in the verkhovna rada, because... obviously , it is not entirely clear to the tv viewers, as well as to me , why the verkhovna rada did not during martial law works in the session hall, and of course there is a lot of extra-session work, and why, why, why are laws and decisions that the state needs are not passed, mrs. victoria, well, i would also like to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, i was not the one who closed, well and announced this break, our team is working today in kyiv. over legislative initiatives, i

am well aware of the situation surrounding the draft law, you know, there the latest agreements were such that a working group is created on the basis of the leadership of the verkhovna rada and on the basis of the conciliation council a group that should finalize something in the draft law on the banning of the russian orthodox church and its related organizations prepared for the second reading. but as far as i know, and i think this is quite sufficient information, for the last, at least one and a half to two weeks, this group did not meet, i am not aware of any developments, and at least our faction was definitely not involved, if there are any such processes , perhaps colleagues are aware, because this is really not normal, since obviously we have to start on august 19 with the consideration of this draft law, there is simply no where to drag the elections. there is nothing

to improve, it's enough to walk, you know, around all this, you just need to be determined and make a decision, everyone understands that there are voices. there is no desire to bring to this hall precisely so that this law will be voted in the form as it was presented today by the committee, the profile committee, prepared, where, by the way, the majority are representatives of the monomajority, and therefore i hope that, of course, in first, you could have gotten together earlier, and i think there are a million reasons to get together earlier, well even in order to still... enough of such a high-profile temporary special commission of the parliament, which investigates abuses at fortifications, as well as the provision of the ukrainian army with drones, such necessary things, this commission is also blocked today, it is also not meeting, and the chairman is there filed for self-recusal, you know who was caught on

suspicion, we have very, very little time on the air, so we will give the floor to mr. oleksandr. mr. yaroslav, forgive me, mr. oleksandr. well, a very important question is what verkhovna does council. from my experience, i can say that sometimes, and quite often, more issues need to be resolved when there is no meeting, and the workload is greater than during the plenary week. now, for example, some of my colleagues are in washington, that is, on a business trip, this is a very important part of parliamentary diplomacy, parliamentary work. with regard to my committee, in which i work, we are with... we are currently dealing with such an issue as consideration of the bill on the diplomatic service, there are more than 300 amendments to be considered, a lot of meetings are attended by colleagues from brazil, for example, will have a meeting with journalists from africa tomorrow, so there are a lot of such meetings, and the week

may be busier than during the plenary sessions. thank you, mr. oleksandr, mr. yaroslav, and we prepare as a committee. the draft law on the access of citizens and journalists to information, this is the early publication of the agendas of parliament and committee meetings, this is the possibility of movement during the curfew for journalists who receive information from the front line, so mr. oleksandr and i fully i agree, the plenary session is only a small part of the work of the parliament, at the same time , i really hope that by the next meeting we will be able to find an explanation for our international partners, why we need to eliminate the agent network under the guise of religious organizations, not one in ukraine , and

it is a very big positive that now it is this break in the plenary sessions that gives such an opportunity, because a serious landing party is now working on... in the united states, different factions, it can be tracked, we work 24:7, here there is no break in work, there are breaks in the plenary session, and this reasonably raises questions from our citizens, but i thank espresso, who explained that this is not a vacation, but we, in principle, continue to work as people's deputies and will work until victory, because our meeting our convocation, i'm sorry, will be able to finish its work only when you and i will understand that the war is over in one form or another, and so we work without interruption. thank you, mr. yaroslav, yaroslav yurchyshyn, oleksandr mereshko

the kursk region, about what the enemy fired at kyiv and kharkiv, and about the f-16 armament capabilities that ukraine has already received, about all this in a moment. so, regarding the kursk region, i will start here with information. which so far comes only from hostile russian sources. on tuesday, it was reported in russia that there were attempts to break through the border by the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region. these pro-kremlin channels reported that around 9 o'clock in the morning 100 armed men with armored vehicles crossed the border there, then there were reports from the fsb that the border guards said that there the russian military took measures to repulse the attack, at the same time the russian public channels, z channels wrote that the fighting in kurshchyna

continues, that the units of the armed forces of ukraine, as they wrote, managed to... break through with several units of armored vehicles, the rashists wrote about the two settlements where the ukrainian forces seem to have gained a foothold, that is in the kurt region, that is darino and goncharivka, and that the ukrainian army there continues to concentrate troops in the sub region, it was noted that the equipment there is in the surrounding forests, and in general, apart from this hysteria in zet public channels, what we saw, we saw videos... showing humvees with such new tactical signs in the form of triangles, we saw videos of the movement of stryker armored personnel carriers near the border with kurshchyna, but all these videos were shot in the sumy region, although near the border, there are no video battles there, but there is this epic video

where russians use su in the kursk region. 25 on its own territory, there are quite emotional comments of this driver, but it is not the first time that the russians bombed ikab's own territory, we see them from su-25s, but what is happening there, well, we remember that in march , the russian volunteer corps and other russian volunteer formations, consisting of russian citizens , raided the territory of belgorod and kursk. oblast, but what is happening now, whether it is something similar or something else, we cannot clearly say, because there are no official comments from the ukrainian side, i hope that they will be either today or tomorrow, and we understand that in fact russia several years methodically is shelling the ukrainian border, the same

amounts, in particular, this morning our authorities there reported that the enemy shelled... sumy 35 times, as a result of which one person died, and the ukrainian forces are probably trying to remove the threat to the sumy region near the border, from which there is constantly there are a certain number of russian troops engaged in shelling and sabotage, it is possible certain countermeasures, but i repeat, this is an assumption, i hope that more information will appear later and either the general staff or our border the service will comment on this situation that is happening on the border with... with our state, then we will talk about the fact that the enemy carried out terrorist missile attacks on ukraine tonight, the air force reported that they destroyed two kh-59 missiles, 15 drones from shahed out of 16, but the most attention should be paid first of all to

the enemy's ballistic missiles, there was a report that the enemy launched... four missiles from the territory of the voronych region, two of them were shot down, the air force said that this could have been either iskanders or the north korean kn-23, so we can say that according to our sources , we talked to specialists who were currently analyzing the debris of one of the missiles that exploded there near the breweries, and indeed it is the remains of the kn-23, it is a north korean missile. the actual video of the explosion under the breweries, it is available on the internet, but we decided not to give it, although this video actually shows that this rocket fell next to the highway, about 20 km from this place to kyiv, and we can say that this is actually the situation somewhat

reminiscent of the explosion of the same rocket on the kn-23 nearby of the white church that happened. on july 31, and in fact, after such a significant pause since january or february of this year, there was a long pause where these korean missiles were not used by the enemy, now we see that for two days in a row , almost the enemy uses single variants of these missiles, which actually, well, have a significant power , but low accuracy, but even an air explosion sometimes causes destruction and not... tragic consequences, this has not happened now, in any case, we still see that the risks of using north korean such missiles are stored, then we will talk about ... in this way, our air force will increase its potential at the expense of f-16 fighters. this topic is still extremely relevant. everyone will discuss political

aspects, various military-technical aspects, technical aspects. and now we will have an opportunity to talk about the f-16s with the person who just the other day made a presentation of the book called fighting falcon about the f-16, this is andriy. a military historian, a person who, by the way, made a number of excellent books about ukrainian military aviation in different periods, now the new page is precisely related to the f-16 fighters, mr. andriy, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear on the espresso channel, glory to ukraine, i will actually show, i will show the booklet so that our viewers can see, and a little ahead of time, somewhere , i hope, at the end of this year, another book of mine will be published, dedicated to the ukrainian military aviation of 1991-2021, that is, before the full-scale invasion, i hope it will be

interesting. well, when you wrote this book, i 'm sure you analyzed a lot of information regarding them, and the technical capabilities, and weapons, and so on, and when, probably, literally a week after your presentation, the president already showed f-16s, which of... is part of the armed forces of ukraine, you probably, well, clearly understood exactly what kind of aircraft, with what capabilities they are standing, but i would like you to first answer the question that is often asked to me and to all experts, that is, what will these planes change on the battlefield, there are few of them, in any case , it is not enough to influence the situation on battlefield, how would you, you answered such a well enough common question, which of does any discussion about f-16 aircraft begin? actually, actually, even the small number that was transferred to us, there are called the numbers 6, 10 planes, they will be able, under the condition of rational use, to significantly

affect the situation on the battlefield, or in space, more precisely, in a certain specific direction, and actually, taking into account the potentially quite significant capabilities of these aircraft, and already, let's say, the experts analyzed in sufficient detail the configuration in which these aircraft were handed over to us, you and our viewers have probably already read this in telegram channels and in other social networks, these are planes that, without exaggeration, give a new quality to our combat aviation, first of all, from what is visually visible, these are planes equipped with a modern complex of radio-electronic warfare, that is, which... provide significantly, do they have a much greater chance, chances to survive, survive the battlefield and actually complete the combat mission, because

there is no truth to the children, the mig-29, su-27 fighters we have have, uh, literally, rather weak electronic warfare equipment, unlike these transferred f-16s, well, plus the same rockets. the average range there is about 100 km , plus or minus, and uh, plus, before that, one more very important detail, which is sometimes forgotten or ignored: the mig-29 was defined by such jokers as a fighter for gaining air superiority over its airfield, it has a very a very small radius, but the f16 is realistic for... so with a very long distance, flight duration, as for such small sizes, and this will allow, well, let's say, more flexible use of these

machines, not necessarily their use with airfields that are located there near the front line, and this is also undoubtedly a big plus, i am not talking about the characteristics of the radar, which allows you to reliably detect air targets against the ground and has cutting modes of operation. including modes of operation on ground targets, in contrast to the mih 29, 127 that i have already mentioned, that is, it is a really multifunctional fighter, it is not for nothing that the countries that transfer them to us are the netherlands, denmark, belgium, norway, they operated in in its air forces, the only type of combat aircraft, this is the f-16, because it is capable of solving all the tasks of modern combat aviation. mr. andrii, but only a little. there are details there, because some people are starting to compare the f-16 there, the versions we got, they got with the russian 135, they mention radars, about russian

missiles, they say that... the russians’ missiles there fly farther than our f- 16, how these situations should be balanced, so that there is an understanding that even in such possibilities we actually have variations, in order to oppose the su-35s and their missiles 37, r-37 and so on, how can this be commented, actually actually this is one of the points why, in addition to the f-16, i really like and think that we should get them, they are swedish gripens, because they have integrated meteor missiles with a launch range of more than 200 km, that is, with the f-16 such missiles are not integrated, so what is the solution, first of all, this is what i said, it is a self-defense complex that is capable of protecting against these missiles, but i, well, let's say, i didn't talk to many pilots, but i had to

hear from some ... pages 124, well, this kind of phrase, that rockets were fired from here these mih-31 are long-range, and he says, well, we just didn’t notice them, they passed by us somewhere, that is, the conclusion is that they are not very high-quality, but these are russian missiles, of course, it is by no means necessary to turn it into sorry for the language of our enemy hat-throwing, but ee f16... will be able, in my opinion, to resist these russian su-30, su-35 fighters, due to the fact that it has a more advanced defense complex and, accordingly, will be able to approach the range of the descent of these missiles, but here there is again one nuance: i am a holiday for some reason i am convinced that the f-16, or rather, the task of the air defense for the ukrainian f-16s

will be... well, the third is the third, not even the second, but the third, because they will perform, well, in my opinion, a purely outside observer, slightly different tasks, well , actually you are not an outsider, an observer, you are a person who is well aware of the possibility in detail, but i don't have insider information, it's all hypothetical, that's all, then tell me what are the first and second missions that will be the first priority for f- 16 in our sky? the first is its closure gaps in the boundaries of air defense that are not covered by anti-aircraft missile systems, because we have a significant problem: russian cruise missiles and shaheds, they pass, or bypass or try to bypass the areas where air defense is located, and well, physically, we will never have so many anti-aircraft missile systems , in order to cover the entire territory of ukraine, there are not so many of them in the world

that... in the democratic civilized world, that is, the f-16 due to this characteristic that i was talking about, that is, the ability to detect air targets on the background of the ground, it can detect the same cruise missiles, shaheds at a low altitude and destroy them accordingly. the second task, in my opinion, is the use of high-precision weapons of the air-to-surface class, these are the same weapons, because it is no secret that 127 weapons can be fired from the mig-29, but with... far from fully functional, such as anti-radar missiles, well, in addition to this, guided air bombs, j-dams, sdb and the same french hummers are already integrated, that is , strikes on ground targets in, let's say, the tactical depth of defense, because the long-range - weapons for the f-16 so far, well, unfortunately, there are none, that is, the same storm shodaus missiles. they are not

integrated with the f-16 about the transfer of american jasm missiles, well, even theoretically, as far as i know, it has not been mentioned yet, although they were very useful to us, we would be very useful, but let’s say so, and the f16 already has one the english saying flit in being from the time of the first world war, that is, the fleet is doing. impact on hostilities by its very presence. f-16 is roughly like this, well, the very fact of the presence of a handful of these f16s in ukraine leads to the fact that, well, there is messages in various, again , our telegram channels, that the russians have significantly reduced the activity of using the same su-34 launchers, that is, they are simply afraid, yes, of course, this fear factor will come sooner or later, it will pass to the russians, but oh... at

the moment, they even have such a role.
