8:30 am
cars from several bullets, something is known about what happened to kuleshov and so far, you so far and how he died. and by the way, the occupation authorities are silent on this same issue, ah, on newly appointed people, e.e. skadovsk district administration within the old skadovsk district , i was appointed there again, i say some completely unknown person, who they say is a citizen of russia, who recently lived in skadovsk , but by the way, no one knows him, they are too weak, they are trying to appoint another collaborator , but i understand that he is hesitating something there to appoint him or not to appoint him, that's why i say once again that there are no longer any willing because, well, that filipchuk kakhovsky has already been beaten, now he doesn't go anywhere without protection, that is, you know the human hatred for these collaborators, i understand that
8:31 am
this guy has already understood russian, that's why and they can’t help but send new appointees thank you thank you mr. serhiy slava ukraine god help you serhiy khlan deputy of the kherson regional council worked live on the espresso tv channel and with us cancer congratulations mr. serhiy slava ukraine good morning glory to the heroes, we are informed, in particular, by the general staff that there are certain successes in the ukrainian army, in particular in kharkiv oblast, eh, i would like to start with this, actually, to what extent do you think this, if you can say, eases the situation, in particular for kharkiv oblast and for the neighboring luhansk oblast, or are there any specific changes ? took place, and so far we can simply state the liberation of a certain string of cities, eh, well, it is not possible to define only one direction there, it is necessary
8:32 am
to understand that the liberation of populated areas, first of all, is an important point in our in our combat work and the liberation of these points, it weakens the enemy's ability to direct artillery and missile strikes on kharkiv, which makes life easier for our residents. the second aspect - in our case, i would like to draw attention to the fact that we are constantly putting pressure on the enemy in that direction, creating constant pressure precisely on the pile in this way, we are threatening the communications of the enemy operating in the izyum direction and we are forcing the enemy to disperse their efforts and their units while holding their positions specifically in the kharkiv direction. in this way, we can summarize that we are working to ease the situation in donbas and decide to liberate our territory, this is what concerns the kharkiv
8:33 am
direction actually . here, for sure, the most interesting and most desirable thing is the situation with the latest artillery systems now . as far as i understand, it is precisely the artillery and rocket launcher systems that decide. so what prospects for us now to change this positional, as it were, semi-positional war, because the enemy has dug in, so they have begun to dig in in the last couple of months, after all. well, we understand that it is already so easy to launch a counter-offensive, so it is absolutely true, and uh, that's what we are now we will get exactly howitzers. and he emphasizes that howitzers are still an offensive weapon and a salvo fire system is also an offensive weapon, they will help us to qualitatively solve new tasks, namely, having a longer
8:34 am
range of action, new artillery systems volley fire systems can help us cover the enemy in the greatest depth of his battle formations, and as we can see, we are already striking his command post in the areas of concentration in the logistical center. that is, we are disrupting the command and control communication system and in this way violating this, there will be no need to simply attack the enemy head-on. and we will be able, as we do it, to do maneuvering and evasive actions quite correctly in order to surround the enemy who no longer has the opportunity to engage and strike and destroy in such a way, and that is why we are talking about qualitative changes. please tell me. the general staff is now reporting to see the preparations for this
8:35 am
offensive . there are prospects. they exist. we are actually restraining the enemy in all directions, why the kherson region ? to force him to surrender or at least try to retreat. well, that’s actually a good question, yes. well, i just regularly communicate with our officers, yes , and they are waiting for everything and from time to time they even ask me to voice a rhetorical question . kherson women on the one hand, and on the other hand, not to make it difficult for the russian intervention to ride from the temporarily occupied crimea and drive gangs of orcs in our direction. well, first of all, we are already doing this
8:36 am
thing, and the bridge under which our softies blew it up it is already clear. thus, knowing that the basis of the logistics of the occupiers is the railways. well, in fact, we also dealt a very serious blow to the supplies of material resources to the enemy operating in the north-taurus direction, and we reduced his activity there by putting pressure on the enemy precisely in the kherson direction, we are also dragging the enemy there because 10,000 troops who, according to various estimates, are on the right bank of the dnieper are those troops who do not take part in hostilities in the tauriy and donbas directions. we are doing our work quietly, well, it is very pleasing , the information was the same. that the russians are gradually
8:37 am
pulling away from mariupol from mariupol . let's put it this way. talk about it talk because the enemy is withdrawing only part of his forces he keeps the territory of azovstalia in a tight ring of blockade and those troops that he would like to use e he cannot use e against of our troops in donbas, that is why there is a partial withdrawal of troops, but the fact that our guys continue to hold on, well, first of all, this is a miracle and a feat , and secondly, they perform a very important task , drawing the enemy back and giving him the opportunity to advance precisely in the northern tauri direction, like you you see. during the last week, there were no changes at all, but speaking about the work of our
8:38 am
artillery, certain successes should be noted, in particular, in the liquidation of various command posts, and here is the command post in the kherson region, where many people died many russian high-ranking generals and several generals - this is also a certain signal to confirm what you said, but the news appeared that the sinful shoigu is trampling our er, the sinful gerasimo is trampling our glorious land. they say that he was thrown here, it is not known the truth. for what purpose do you own with some information well, i can only assume that in this case we are dealing with the typical behavior of the kremlin leadership when, in the event of the impossibility of achieving any success, they direct the strengthening of higher-level leaders who had their presence, their authority and their pressure to force the troops to advance,
8:39 am
how effective is it? well, we can remember the combat operations of the red army in october 1941 near moscow, when they threw against the germans, just crowds of soldiers destroyed them and it had no particular effect i predict that the same situation is developing here now. well, let's hope that general gerasimov will repeat the career of the equally famous russian general vlasov, yes, and jump over to our side. thank you very much, mr. serhiy serhii grabsky a military expert, a participant in peacekeeping missions, there is information that andriy simonov, a russian general, was also killed in the raisin direction, we have positive news, we are waiting for successors after an extremely important and interesting interview that our colleague yuriy fizer gave to the extremely important ambassador of the republic of estonia in ukraine, let's say kaymoku so now the word is to yuriy fizer and to the ambassadors of estonia. greetings
8:40 am
. my name is yuriy fisar on the espresso tv channel. as you all know very well, i work as an international columnist. well , this means that i am trying to invite programs of important people, interesting people, especially now in order to talk with them about how the world initially reacts to the war that russia started in ukraine on february 24 of this year and how the world helps us all cope with this invasion because it is an invasion of ukraine first, but who knows what's on putin's mind she can go further, god forbid, of course well, today my guest is an important guest , the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of the republic of estonia in ukraine, a piece of brick and smile , dear ukrainian. i thank all the estonian people for the support
8:41 am
we receive from them and especially the government of estonia for the help we receive in this very difficult and i would even say crazy time because no one could even imagine that something similar could happen in europe in 2022 ago first of all, i want to thank all estonians once again. so, my first question to you will be the following: the prime minister of your country, who on monday, after meeting with german chancellor olaf scholz, said that estonia needs a greater presence of nato in the estonian the sky on the estonian land and on the estonian sea, does this mean that now there is a real threat to estonia from russia, that is, maybe your intelligence has some information about a possible attack on estonia.
8:42 am
congratulations, but first of all, of course, i want to thank all ukrainians for what you have done and what you continue to do to do it's just amazing you are protecting your own country but not only are you protecting the free world and if we talk about estonia and the russian threat it actually existed for decades and we know that they had and continue to have plans for they even worked out these plans against us during military exercises, for example, the west , a full-scale war began on february 24, by the way, it happened on the day of estonia's independence, therefore, in this way, russia personally offended us, all this shows that it is
8:43 am
probably not enough to have only one in estonia on a rotational basis a battalion from great britain, france, as well as data. well, in practice, we need a greater presence of allies in estonia in order to counter these threats. but as i said , we have known since the 90s that russia is harboring that we have plans and they even conducted military exercises according to these plans, mr. ambassador, you just said that the threat existed and the threat exists, what do you mean, uh, because that's what we always tried to get information about russian plans, military plans, and also about the state of their armed forces, for example, in our intelligence there is a joke after all. this is not exactly a joke, but the reality is that in
8:44 am
the work of estonian intelligence there are three priorities: russia and russia, therefore we never had and do not now have the illusion that only one force can pose a threat to estonia and, in general, to this corner of the world and that is russia. my second question to you will be as follows. the prime ministers of the baltic states of estonia, latvia and lithuania met in riga last friday. as far as i know, they discussed common goals at the nato summit in madrid , this summit is scheduled for the end of june this year, what are these common goals, considering that you are already members of the alliance, first of all, and i already talked about it a little, it is the strengthening of nato's eastern flank, our three baltic countries need a larger military
8:45 am
presence but not only in addition to this and i consider it very important we need to strengthen the black sea region it if we are talking about nato such actions will also help ukraine plus it is very important that nato's open door policy continues and at the same time we mean ukraine and we encourage ukraine continue to realize your nato ambitions, plus it is obvious that this is also about our scandinavian neighbors, they have now also seen that having such a neighbor as russia neutrality is not an option estonia is a member nato since 2004, if i understand correctly in view of your experience, why ukraine needs to become
8:46 am
a member of nato for itself emembrana zero because then there will be no dilemma about whether, in case of need, we should use our troops and not just provide some help, then we will have a concrete situation and the specific picture in my opinion at the moment and it makes me a little sad. now we are talking more about what nato is not doing. instead, we should focus our attention on what nato is doing and what the nato member countries are doing they provide ukraine with weapons and in my opinion, these are quite good weapons, better and better and more each time, and they are members of nato. therefore, it must be said that it is thanks to the fact that estonia is in nato that we can
8:47 am
provide ukraine with a huge amount of weapons that we have. thank you very much, mr. ambassador to things, what kind of weapons do you supply, have supplied and may supply in the near future, left of couls, it is obvious that we are focused on the supply of anti-tank weapons. we send a lot of different anti-tank weapons, they are very effective, and your the servicemen also showed that they can skillfully use it, i will not list the exact types that we provided, but you already have them and i must tell you that we were very surprised by how many weapons we were able to transfer to ukraine, we have more and a plus to this artillery we we will also continue to provide you with
8:48 am
artillery, this is what remains from soviet times. are these nato weapons, some are really left from soviet times, but the anti-tank weapons are modern. armed forces very much thank you just a few days ago, estonia hosted a large cyber security exercise, it was attended by representatives of about 30 countries, why is it so important for you to conduct such cyber exercises, the first cyber attack on our state structures took place in 2007 and it did russia i cheated on them, that is, then we
8:49 am
ourselves felt what it means when someone wants to harm your infrastructure on the internet and disable it, so since then we have worked a lot to improve our skills and mobilize for of our allies, because in parallel with the kinetic war of russia against ukraine, which is ongoing at this very moment, and we support ukraine in it, in parallel with it, there is also a cyber threat and cyber attacks continue, and we cannot see everything. we also cannot turn everything away, because it is simply not visible, so it is really very important to also have such countermeasures and i am very glad that in february we finally approved an agreement that allowed ukraine
8:50 am
to join the joint center for advanced cyber technologies in tallinn welcome i think that for ukraine this is a big step forward once again thank you, can estonia right now completely get rid of dependence on russian energy carriers , we are able to do it we have improved our energy connection with europe, but at the same time we must admit that ukraine has done it even faster than we had planned you just took and joined the european grid and it works and we still have to do it at the same time we produce our own electricity we can buy it in the northern countries we have our own oil
8:51 am
shelves. we don't need to buy coal from russia. and if we talk about russian gas, there is very little of it on our market, only a limited amount of gas, we can receive gas in liquefied form through ports , soon we are even planning to build a new such port together with finland, but at the moment lithuania is helping us give us a moment, and we can buy oil on the world market and deliver it by tankers. that's why it's not a problem for us, we're a small , compact, flexible country. do you think europe is united now? i think europe is more united than we expected, is it perfect or
8:52 am
is it ideal? it seems to me that you can always do better in brussels, there are very often arguments about, i won't call them battles, so that countries can convince each other that we can do more and faster in order to ukraine joined us. despite this, i would still say that we are united , but the battles still continue. of course, this is democracy . this is democracy. argue we must continue to communicate and some things that two months ago and two weeks ago seemed impossible are now becoming true,
8:53 am
mr. ambassador, a few days ago the estonian parliament recognized russian war crimes in ukraine as genocide, so my question is why smaller countries, for example, estonia and latvia, can do this and not only talk about it, but other european countries are talking, but they are a little afraid to do this. well, they are looking for various explanations for not doing this, i would compare it to ships in the sea that are smaller and faster can maneuver faster than large oil tankers or, for example, aircraft carriers, very often it is smaller ships that lead others, for example, the first country that recognized the independence of estonia was iceland, the smallest country, a member of nato, one of the smallest countries in europe. therefore, this is our method, we
8:54 am
call all things by their proper names . it seems that it is important in a different way we cannot do if we try to limit our positions then we will lose our own values and lose these same positions we just have to say it directly the same way and with by supplying weapons to ukraine, that is, smaller countries do it easier than larger countries, it also depends on your geographical location, in addition to that issue, also in terms of values. back in 1939, then we lost our independence and we know what it's like to be under
8:55 am
russian occupation during the war. this madness is the repetition of such madness, we are now seeing , for example, in buchi, so first of all, these are values now stands, but besides that, we are again returning to the threats we feel since we regained our independence in 1991, so every tank that ukrainians can knock out with the help of javelins received from us will reduce the threat against us . thank you very much. and if we talk about refugees, we know, you know i know. everyone knows that now there are a lot of refugees all over europe, they are also in estonia. can you tell me exactly how many ukrainians there are in your country right now, as of this
8:56 am
morning, this number is more than 33 thousand. and this is more than 2% of the total population of estonia and now they are increasingly coming to us through russia, at first they were deported there, but some manage to escape to estonia, so the number is quite large, but welcome, we know what you need now they live in temporary shelters or with families yes, in fact, we have prepared places for them to live in different ways. i know about one big ship that usually runs between estonia, sweden and
8:57 am
finland. this is a ferry with private rooms , a tv and a table. we gave it to the ukrainians. it is not very convenient, but we use such things as a temporary place to live, besides, many people just give their apartments, you can use them for free, for example, even our former president thomas hendrik ilves gave his house on a farm to a ukrainian family from kharkiv, thank you very much, mr. ambassador i am sure and i hope not. i know that you are also sure that ukraine will win this war and it will happen very soon, but after this war ukraine will be different and europe will be different but how different europe will be. i think it
8:58 am
will change a lot, we will never go back to february 24. in my opinion, some international organizations will have to change completely. for example, if we talk about the osce, what role does the organization play? it concerns not only europe, it also did not help to avert a major war in europe, which is interesting, that is why i think i think that the security picture, international relations , the mechanisms that are used in such situations we need to create something new we need to invent some new ways because otherwise there is always an alternative we must strengthen our own security the free world must interact more closely and the countries in it must support each other more thank you very much
8:59 am
mr. ambassador this was my last question to you thank you for joining me today and now you have the opportunity to address the ukrainian people, please say a few words, ukrainians, you are doing a great job, we all admire you, but we do not just admire you sitting down, we support you we provide you with military aid, as well as humanitarian assistance. simple estonian people do not just wish you well , they send you medical equipment, various things that you need now, you and i. thank you, mr. ambassador. thank you to estonia for the help we receive. i was in direct contact with the extraordinary and plenipotentiary
9:00 am
ambassador of the republic of estonia, kaimo kusko, they talked about how estonia helps ukraine, how it supports us, this is quite difficult. yes, no, no. it's not easy. but it's a difficult time and how are we trying together to resist the russian invasion that began on february 24. how will we win together with all of europe? peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia
