25,000 internally displaced people. we can see this very clearly from state programs, there are reports that show that people who went there to lutsk, lviv, return to kyiv, or in irpin. due to the growing demand, the developer is creating jobs by purchasing building materials and hiring construction professionals. from 20. february 4, 22 , our company purchased approximately a little more than 35,000 m3 of concrete mixes and solutions, if in the number of cars, it is a little more than 35 cars. the company also says that from the first days of the war, they mobilized all their resources for the defense of the country, provided equipment, building materials for fortifications and roadblocks, after the russians were expelled from zirpen, they actively financed recovery, helped rebuild the social sector.

les favorites.

and we continue our broadcast, now we will show footage of new, modern equipment used in russia, this is what it looks like, it is... russian loaves super-protected from ukrainian drones, loaves are such old cars, i am speaking for those who have not noticed of these beautiful times, they were sheathed, you see, with metal, cut rubber, on the roof, some such alternative, not a barbecue, not some such an old soviet bed was installed, i hope that it is so, that it will protect them from. drones, we hope not to protect, and we hope that there will be more of these drones, and in order for that to happen, you

see a qr code, click on it, and enough drones will fly across the line of combat and less occupants of their equipment will be for attacking and encroaching on our land, here is this qr code, scan it for yourself and take appropriate action. in the meantime, we will talk with military commentator denys popovych, sir. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. mr. denis, do you already know that it was so beautiful that night in the crimea. and and the airfield in kirovsky was loud that night, and there were explosions in dzhankoya. what is it? well, the details are not known, they are unknown, but i think that 99.9% of the time it is again strikes on airfields carried out by the defense forces of ukraine and on other military targets and objects in crimea. this is already going on. for months now, i don't think that this system will continue to be interrupted, that is, the military

infrastructure in crimea will be destroyed, but as for the consequences, well, let's wait, for now, to be honest, i only know about the fact of the strikes, and about the kurshchyna, now i want to ask, oleksandr musiyenko believes that now our troops there will have slightly different tasks, if earlier the task was to advance, to go as far as possible, now it is about the fact that... it is necessary to gain a foothold and simply keep certain territories under control, creating such a rather wide buffer zone , many people shout that there is simply an advance of the slow. that it has become much more difficult for us, that the russians are attacking, how do you assess what is currently happening in kurshchyna, and how will it be possible in the future and, having gained a foothold and controlling this territory, continue to work on the russian territories in order to make life easier for our defenders in ukraine, on the territory of ukraine. well, you know, i will join those who are shouting,

although i will say that it is calm, without shouting, so the offensive has slowed down, and it is explained, it is ... first, the russian federation is sending reinforcements there, the number was called by oleksandr syrskyi, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, there, if i remember correctly , 3,000, 30,000, yes, well, we will rely on this, on this number, since these are the data of the head of state, they are official, but these 3,000 are enough to at least create such, local defense in order to stop our offensive actions. maneuvers, which were of a maneuverable nature, and accordingly, in this way, to slow down our general progress there on the kurshchi, so these are offensive actions, they slowed down, although they did not stop, that is the first thing that must be said, secondly, this zone is expanding, why is this is happening, this is happening to prevent flanking attacks, that is, if we advance in depth and only in depth, then we will form

such a, you know, well, well, well, such a big one, yes? which will go far into the territory of the russian federation, but it will be vulnerable from the flanks, the flanks, and when the russian federation gathers enough reserves, it will simply cut off the encirclement on someone else's territory, so we are expanding, expanding this zone, let's say , of kurtskaya's control region in order to prevent such a scenario, and then we are entrenched in order to create a buffer zone, this is what volodymyr zelenskyi said about, in order to prevent shelling. sumy region will continue to be to hold this territory as much as possible, in my opinion, this is necessary in order for us to control the territory of the russian federation, so that when these negotiations begin, which vladimir putin himself very, very much needs, we talk a lot about them , so that the reals on the ground were different, so to speak, so that we already had trump cards in our pockets and could thus create

an exchange fund of territories. by the way, some of the commentators also say that... and sofa experts write a lot about the fact that the russians in the kursk region are now in a cauldron, about the fact that that they have nowhere to go, from the reports of the military that i read, that in reality the situation is not like that, in the end we see that they are constantly building pontoon crossings through the sejm and actually have the opportunity to leave, why this rhetoric is heard, why the pain , in particular, it says that it was closed? that the ukrainian armed forces formed this bag, this cauldron is gone and approximately 300 russian soldiers cannot get out of it, what can this lead to, what can such information give? well, first of all , there are different numbers, that is, 3 00, there is one number, there is the number three is 25, there is a number one thousand, there is a number 700,

accordingly, there is now some specific assessment. the number of those russian soldiers who found themselves in this operational encirclement is unknown, it is not known for certain, it is not a cauldron, it is not a physical encirclement, it is not stalingrad, where all the other groups of pavelos entered from all sides and closed the encirclement ring and after that they could never move anywhere, this is an operational encirclement, that is, on the one hand, they are limited by the seym river, on the other hand, they are completely limited by the state border of ukraine, with the southern side, and... from the east and west they are also limited by the border of ukraine and those territories already controlled by the ukrainian army. they can cross the seym river and thus save themselves, but in order for them to do so they need crossings, meaning the bridges are now destroyed, or they are damaged in such a way that they cannot be used to a sufficient extent, so the russians, the russians are forced, means

to build pontoon crossings, which are constantly being destroyed. they are erected, then they are destroyed, such a process is now underway, and operational perimeter is exactly the situation where logistics routes are threatened, they are either cut off or they are controlled by fire, as we can see, they are now controlled by fire, so now we say corporate perimeter, if they can get out of that perimeter, in that case they will replenish the exchange fund, and the territory that will be controlled by the ukrainian army will increase due to these territories, which are located south of the seim river up to the state border. mr. denis, we see reports that the belarusians are transferring to the border with ukraine, the hyacient artillery, and actually the spokesperson of the dpso. andriy demchenko stated that these are the so-called military games of lukashenka, and what should our ukrainian response be, in your opinion, even if these are games and this is

intimidation and once again showing off our muscles, and not something more? well, what can these games be for? they exist in order to divert our forces from those areas of the front that are tense, which areas of the front are these, first of all the pokrovsky direction where there are not enough forces, and first of all the kursk region. that i think that it is the kursk region, she caused these maneuvers by lukashenka, accordingly our reaction should be based on this, either we will act on it, or we will not act on it, or we will show our strength, start reacting, and in this way, we will do it, we will make it so that these games are reached our goal, or we will calmly react to it, we will not do it, without leaving, let's say , the need to follow what is currently happening on the belarusian border, as far as i know. dpsu situation directly near the border does not change, i.e. ee all these exercises, they are aimed at the fact that, well, the actions of belarus, they are aimed at the fact that

we divert our efforts, divert troops and thus weaken other directions, making life easier for the russian federations. well, i think that's all for now. regarding the preparation of some kind of large-scale invasion from belarus, i honestly do not believe in it, first of all, because belarus provided. its forces and means, tanks, ammunition, at the disposal of the russian federation, if the country is preparing for an invasion of war, it in no way will not do it, on the contrary, it will accumulate forces, and secondly, i see, again we see, so these shots, which depict belarusian tanks, and these are shots of the ministry of defense of belarus, that is, this is what they wanted to show to the general public that these tanks, these tanks do not have anti-drone protection, which means that if this is a showcase, then in general the belarusian... army is not very ready for a war with the use of drones, well, actually what is happening in russia - the ukrainian front. mr. denis, freedom of speech in ukraine

now at such a high level that everyone can say what they want, giving away state secrets and talking about what all the military ask not to talk about, now i'm talking about yesterday's information, when we learned that he crashed, that he died our ukrainian pilot. who piloted an f-16 and one of the planes also crashed, many versions were announced at once, and well, when people who sit on sofas and just want to show how professional they are, write about various things, then this can still be understood, but when people's deputies , which they understand what is possible and what is not possible, they write about it, it is somewhat surprising, and here maryana bezugla says that all her people were beaten by a patriot, themselves, treacherous betrayal, what do you think this could be and for what? to us in the parliament, so that such statements are heard, then why did mariana bizuga do it, we need to ask her, because if we analyze how it works,

let's take it, let's say it like this, okay, let's assume that it was friendly fire, it happened like this , as maryana bozu writes, for example, we can assume this, then, if we understand the algorithms of air defense, it is specially aimed at this plane, took its escort, fixed a missile behind... or on it, full stop, and then we begin to apply the circumstances of why this could happen, or it was intentional, or it was or it was some kind of wild mistake, because in any - in any case, even in a tense situation on august 26, when, then, these planes were obviously performing the task of shooting down cruise missiles, well, it is unlikely that there could be in the airspace, there could be a bunch of air targets and a bunch of f-16s so that it was possible to confuse and... as they say, burn in white the world is a penny, so what maryana bezu writes about, do we believe that this plane was specifically shot down, i don’t

believe it, well, that is, why was it written and for what purpose, this should be asked of the people deputy, where can you get the date, what was written, what can happen now, what can be the reaction of our western partners? military, what are the consequences, what will this statement lead to? well, obviously there should be an investigation into the circumstances that caused this plane to crash, there will be an investigation, there will be an investigation, the investigation has already started, of course, because if we take, we believe the version of maryana bazuga, then we have to draw the following conclusions that either this is betrayal or the pposhniks are morons, sorry to hit specifically on their own air. what can it lead to, can it lead to such posts from people's deputies who obviously heard about something and decided to post it urgently in order to inform

the public, what can it do? mr. denis, thank you for your analysis, for your thoughts, military observer denis popovych was with us, we talked about what is happening on the line front and also in russia. let me remind you that at night there were explosions in the temporarily occupied crimea, and the russians are talking about the fact that they shot down ukrainian drones in three of their regions that night. we'll take a short break and send a qr code for you to donate, then we'll come back. it will be interesting and important to wait. when you sleep on an uneven surface, the spine takes the wrong position, because you cannot feel energetic in the morning and productive during the day. and with the matryc topper, you will forget that you are sleeping on an imperfect surface. order topper mattrik for comfortable sleep at an affordable price. more and more ukrainian families are choosing
