he remained silent and remained silent for a long time. then , a few days later, one prominent politician said that you know, we invited military intelligence specialists and they gave a disappointing forecast, and at a time when resistance was increasing from ukraine and the classes did not look at us with respect and the more we were successful and active. the more they respected us and supported us more to this day. i believe that the support is absolutely unprecedented, because we must not forget that israel is not a european country, the war is far from them, but israel supports israel helps and i say once again, we always want more than we get, but of course this is our job and i am sure that now the whole free world

israel is on the side of ukraine and is doing everything it can, we support and believe in our victory. thank you, thank you for your work in the state of israel. this evgeny korniychuk, the extraordinary powers of ukraine's envoy to the state of israel, spoke to her about this terrible insult to the jewish people that lavrov allowed himself, but this is not surprising from a russian official of such a high rank. now let's talk about sports and war. my colleague yevhen pastukhov. good evening. please. well, what about the espresso channel? in the next few minutes, we will talk about the start-up preparations of the ukrainian national football team , the future plans of the head coach of shakhtar donetsk, roberto dezerbi, and the plans of the donbass hockey club, which were crossed out by the war, specifically about participation or non-participation in the champions league so, let's start the sports section and we start this section with football, the national team of ukraine is starting

to prepare for the qualification playoff on the eve of the 2022 world cup against scotland , representatives of the ukrainian national team, the first members of the delegation arrived at the training center of the football union of slovenia together with the coaching staff, four footballers dmytro riznyk , oleksandr pykholyonok, serhii bulatsa and oleksiy hutsulyak, and 8 shakhtar players left for the location of the blue-yellow team after the charity tour. in europe, on may 5, dynamo football players should also join the nation of the team, who also have to play a friendly match with swiss basel. i will add that the national team of ukraine scheduled a sparring match against borussia mönchengladbach on may 11 , and on june 1, our footballers will eventually meet the scottish national team in the semi -finals of the 2022 world cup qualifiers, which will take place in a boat, and we all, despite all the problems,

despite the war, hope to see our footballers there and the usa about football already about club football ukrainian football giants continue their charity tour so on the eve of donetsk shakhtar held the last final match of shakhtar global tour 4s, meeting with croatian hajduk hirniki came to the game with the flags of ukraine, there were many in the stands and in t-shirts with the inscriptions save mariupol, save mariupol , to be more precise, and we are azovstal. the match itself began with a moment of silence in memory of the victims of the war, as part of the miners, viktor kornienko entered the field, who for two months engaged in volunteer activities and also took part in the defense of the poltava region, the game itself seemed full of goals scored and ended in a productive peace 3:3 as part of shakhtar, topalov stasiuk scored a goal

boryachuk, who hit the opponent's goal under the curtain of the confrontation in the 91st minute of the match, and doda of the croatian cheerleaders announced after the game that 6,550 tickets were sold for the shakhtar charity match for croatia, this is quite a good figure , the total amount collected at the match in split, taking into account donations and sponsorship contributions, was about two and a half million euros of funds will be directed to help ukraine and after the match shakhtar donetsk head coach roberto deaderby expressed certain assumptions about his future in the ukrainian team and suggests to listen to the direct speech, an emotional day is very sad because maybe it was my last day. as shakhtar's coach, i communicated with everyone, with the players, the management of the club, if there is a championship, i would like to stay here. and if the opposite happens and there is no championship, then i would like to start a normal life and to continue to work for now there is one

big problem - it's time because the championships are now ending and the new season will start soon it's time - that's what makes me worry the most about staying i'll remind our to the viewers that due to the full-scale invasion of russian troops on the territory of ukraine, the football season in ukraine was prematurely ended, the corresponding decision was officially approved by the executive committee of the ukrainian football association, and before other news, we will talk about hockey, the war destroyed the european cup plans, the donbass hockey club will not participate in the next draw of the champions league, about this the press service of the tournament reported that the ukrainian team was forced to withdraw from the next round of the competition due to the war in ukraine in the current season, donbass made its debut in the champions league, scored eight points, donetsk became the first ukrainian club to be represented in this

tournament, received wild cards, played six matches in the group stage instead of donbass, valkar to participate in the next draw of the champions league, won the slovenian olympia, it will be its debut participation in the tournament, and this is the end of the sports column, see you the day after tomorrow, and now the big broadcast on espresso is definitely going on, and i will pass the floor to vasyl. thank you very much, evgeny. well, then it really makes my heart happy that for russia the european football championships have ended. the league of nations has ended. the applications for hosting the european championship have ended . there, in itself, with belarus for a retreat with abkhazia there, unrecognized from the dpr . who will play there? but, as they say, laptenogy is in the lap and the lap is their game. they will play it. the championship will be held in belarus. ok, let's get down to business

. although it is also serious, russia has been suspended from all european football tournaments, but now we will talk about support from the usa and what's next. as they say, ihor eisenberg, a professor at new york university, is in touch with us, mr. igor. i congratulate you. i congratulate you, mr. vasyl. i congratulate all the viewers . well , we didn't have time here to be happy, so to speak, because a decision was made about lendlis for ukraine, as an initiative from a deputy of the congress of a republican, if i'm not mistaken, appeared engage in the future to use the armed forces of the united states to protect ukraine here on the territory of our state, this is so far only the initiative of one deputy there, i am yes , the authors of this draft law are several people, tell me more about this and again, will it not

be so isolated the only wish of the congressman, will it have the support, please , of the green republican who, by the way, unfortunately, he stated a few months ago that he will not be re-elected for the next term because he is one of those few very sincere republicans, but because of his position against trump because of his participation in the e-e special committee e of the house of representatives to investigate a-e attempted coup d'état something january 6, 21 he was simply bullied if the republican party was traumatized by supporters that it was re-elected by such a press i would say that e- well, the initiative is political. well, i don't think that it will lead to any

real medical consequences, but it is important above all. why, because it shows very sincere support for ukraine in the united states among very broad strata of politicians. i think that the support of ukraine is not the only issue for the american political community, in which this politician is more or less the only one, because you see, the law on the forest was all given. it was unanimously adopted by the representatives of the authorities, 10 of such the biggest supporters of trump voted for it. well, it’s simple this is such an absolutely marginal person. that is, support for ukraine is the only issue on which there is unity regarding the participation of the united states military, and look at the involvement of the american army and any operations abroad means that it can be decided by the executive power - the president, for a

limited period, then what can the president do, he can ask the congress for permission to use american money abroad for more than four months, he can usually ask the congress to declare that the united states is the latest news from a foreign country i would not consider this initiative adam that exists as a practical step that the armed forces of the united states will participate in military operations and by the way, we should all understand that if it so happened that the u.s. army, well, military action was involved, this meant that we would find the growth of a hot project of a world war that could lead to the use of nuclear weapons, and this is such a very serious thing, but i fully support my adama kinsenger initiative because

it indicates great support for ukraine. i think that everything has been worked out. it will be accepted. let it be accepted. see if these are any steps to support ukraine . this is very good. this is correct. more weapons and so on, that is, i would consider it this way and tell me, please, it is clear that the sanctions currently in effect against russia affect the lives of many people in europe and the united states of america. also, there are still some difficulties where the walls are growing. this is not the difficulties that ukraine is experiencing now of course well, but all the same for people who may be living their measured life like that of an average american or european, well, these difficulties are possible and er there are certain problems like in the society in the usa well, actually

what can we talk about, is this accepted, are we ready to endure until victory and in support of ukraine , are there such voices there, are there possible certain movements like this in europe, things are happening right now, what, let's do something, because uh, because of these sanctions, we are here trouble please i haven't heard no no from people well let's say around me not even some teleportation if someone showed that he is dissatisfied uh let's say high prices due to the war and what let's not let's let's cancel the sanctions or let's give something else there i'm there what did not support ukraine because of the fact that all the sanctions are affecting our economic condition, i haven't heard anything like that, the fact that prices in the united states are rising, the fact that inflation is the highest in the last 40 years, well, that's a fact. well, that's true

. that prices began to rise due to covid-19 problems due to the fact that the chain supplies goods, well, all these chains were interrupted because, well, a lot of it was coming to the united states for imports, er, it was not coming, that is, there were such interruptions in supply, because of this, prices rose after the war began of course, the prices have increased for oil, after that, fuel prices rose, after fuel prices rose in the usa, a new new rise in prices began, because food prices are not so high, prices are rising, this has a negative effect on the rating of president biden and the democratic party, which is leading one well, but i say that i at the same time, i did not hear that someone said that let's stop supporting ukraine so that they don't go down to whom

i am on a boat from whom, neither in personal communication nor in any reports of journalists, thank you very much for joining thank you for your comments ihor eisenberg a professor from new york university was in touch with us, and now i'm joined by serhiy zgurets, my co-host expert on the military defense express. i welcome you. i welcome you today. there are many topics for discussion. let's start in general with the results. today is the 68th day of the war. well in fact , the day is interesting because it actually began with the destruction of russian boats near the crash site, we will talk about this in the second part of our conversation, and it is also very important that there were explosions at russian enterprises in perem, which make it significantly more difficult for the russian federation to manufacture weapons for salvo fire systems and certain missile weapons, this means that the potential of russia is decreasing if we remember

that earlier there were arson and fires at enterprises that manufactured components of high-precision weapons. this, in general, undermines the ability of the russian army to manufacture new weapons, but so far, russia is using the stockpiles of weapons that have been accumulated, now it is throwing them on all fronts where they are trying to win a certain victory, but de facto today, let's say so until may 9, which is such a sacred date for the russian federation, there is a week left, and the russians are not making any progress in all directions, in particular, the things that are going along this line of fire directly from raisin to donetsk, so there is no progress there rubizhnye popasna is not happening, the hostilities continue without any opportunities for the russians to control these areas, and

there were also events in ozern and maryinka, where the russians tried to conduct assaults, but suffered losses just as directly and from the raisins. they use in their assault units , there is absolutely no advance in the direction of periwinkle , that is, there are all the possibilities in order to restrain the russian offensive, it is interesting that, relatively speaking, in the frontier zone, the enemy is actively and actively using artillery, and here it should be emphasized that our troops need more ammunition and more mines, because even the rate of exchange of fire with fire strikes in the frontier so far is in favor of the russians, and i think that we need more artillery, and here i will open a small topic the secret, in particular, the command of the ground forces is implementing interesting concepts of creating new units of such assault units that combine the capabilities of both artillery and tank units, and

soon i think we will see in action how new experimental units work to cause maximum damage to the enemy. i think that military science is accurate is moving forward thanks to the actions of the ukrainian army. during this war, regarding the election of kharkiv oblast, the sbu intercepts the enemy's negotiations and says that the mass of the occupiers refuses to go to the offensive in the kharkiv region, some even said that they broke a tank, they say they will not go anywhere at night - they say - they broke a tank in the morning already, well, if only everyone just like that, it depends on the fact that we are there on may 9, then it seems that he is trying to announce a mass mobilization in order to close the holes in the personnel of these new btgs that are located on the territory of ukraine or there near ukraine, but i think that this is a step as well as never. because in order for this cannon mass to become combat-ready, it needs to be there from three to six months, so there is a better potential for this. well unfortunately, it has not been for three to six months, so i simply took these figures from the defenders

of atostalia at their word, what is the situation now in this fortress, in fact, in the middle of the city, the fortress is holding , in fact, this is a sign that the potential of our people, we see, does not have borders, but it is not infinite , and the positive thing is that, on the one hand, it was possible to evacuate a part of the civilian population to zaporozhye , but the situation with the wounded remains difficult, they are not being evacuated, they remain in underground hospitals and our fighters continue to resist against the enemy, that is, in fact. let’s say that azovstal is not captured, and here are putin’s previous statements that everything there they say is mariupol captured. well, it does not correspond to any reality. well, russian ships continue to go in the direction indicated by a ukrainian sailor on the first day of the war. and today we are talking about two ships that

caught fire and there may have also exploded in our communication oleg kadkovy expert defect express but i already congratulate you good day, thank you for the invitation, we will join you in the conversation and mr. serhiy, please have a word. i congratulate you once again er tell me please what are the specifics of this operation regarding the destruction of two russian boats with the help of a drone, what is the curiosity and specifics of this? well, first of all, it is necessary to close a rather pragmatic , practically selected operation, which was based on the fact that we were the first to bring out a missile cruiser that carried out air cover. in this region, in general, i have to remind you that the naval missile cruiser was destroyed in the area of ​​the snake island. after that, we had the opportunity to do quite pragmatic things for example, on april 26, the command post and the strela 10-a were destroyed on the island of snake in four

days, that is, the rashists brought a reinforced force to this island , they investigated the tenth zovushki there, they were also destroyed, and already this morning two raptor-type boats, which are primarily used by special forces and they carried out measures in the area, they won the danube, they were chased away from here, and already the by -character on one of those in the area of ​​the snake island, which they obviously used as a base, that is, it should be noted here that for the enemy, the snake island and it turned out to be such an extremely important point that allows him to control the mouth of the danube. and in general , well, part of the water area of ​​the black sea, and the fact that now, thanks to the bayraktars there, we can simply control fire with fire, this whole temporarily captured island is very

painful for the rashists, because they only have two options first option they leave it and we win this battle for this island actually or they spend huge resources to maintain it regarding huge resources to understand two boats the cost of each is 2.1 million dollars, and the most important thing is that they are russian, and only thanks to the fact that russia at one time had oil and gas money, because if it is good to scrape these boats there, then caterpillar engines and italian navigation radar systems and water cannons from the russian union turned out to be there, of course, repeat they will no longer be able to use such boats, that is, these losses are final and irreversible for them, and they cannot compensate for them because of the technological embargo that was introduced against, and again, it is possible that it was still eh from the point of view of iron and on these boats it turns out that there were two special forces units, most likely

an amphibious assault, the capacity of each boat there is up to 20 people, but let's assume that you have at least a dozen special forces on each one, we destroyed them and these are already specialists of a unique class, she is olezhe, now we will talk about the barractars in general, their effectiveness in this war against russia i would like to pay you well, maybe you can tell me just when we talked with odesa and he said that for the second time these onyx missiles, which are based on the bastion coastal market complex, were released in odesa and they say that it is difficult to track them down and destroy them, according to this, they destroyed the runway of odesa litovyshche today, they hit an infrastructure facility. by the way , people died and were injured . it's an anti-ship missile and any anti-ship missile it's generally designed to overcome air defense and even good and rampant air defense

including er considering that onyx is relatively modern russian development is to be overcome, even taking into account the fact that this anti-missile defense will be of western models, that is, the question of how to shoot down cruise missiles is raised . it's a pity until we get western bellies for missile complexes of all levels, including there, starting with banality from nasamsu, until we get e-e planes, because we still need mobile air defense and without western fighter jets, we will not actually be able to solve this task, that is, we

only have what was left for the british during the second world war, that is, to understand that such missile strikes are precisely aimed at terror against the population in order to break their will to resist and fight and we are forced to accept such a blow ugu, please ask our viewers how exactly the destruction of these boats was carried out with the help of the coast and simply describe the mechanism itself and with the help of which ammunition so that it it was clear to you, the audience, that the tron is a shock-reconnaissance by itself, it can carry several small-sized mam class dummies, each of them weighs uh-uh, about 25 kg, and they are extremely accurate, because the rector guides the laser beam at a distance that allows it to be destroyed well it can be seen on

the telemetry itself, that is, if you look carefully at the footage published by the e-e column by the team or zaluzhny, there is even a range with which the strikes were made. it is about 7 km, and at this distance , in fact, even if there were some boats on those boats there are means against missiles, well, against air defense , and the same, for example, there is a whole 10 ba, if you ask it, it would not be enough, because in order to avoid this damage, and if we continue like this, in fact, the bayraktar can destroy even some cows of the russian federation in the black sea, because in them also, the air defense system of su is relatively formal and is, in fact, a portable anti-aircraft missile complex of the willow or stryla, that is, with certain very similar languages, the byrakter can destroy not only boats, but also warships. thank you very much. well, what about us, oleg kadko v expert defect express spoke in detail about the role of the bayak-bairaktar in the fight at sea well,

you also see that we still have to get some help to fight against each other's anti-ship missiles . today, but i want to say that crimean publics are currently posting on social networks what local residents are writing. and many say that ukrainians who have to flee somewhere are already selling apartments, especially there, the command can tell us something to the equipment that the united states is currently giving, which they will still give the question of damage well, i won't say destruction, this place is huge, but the damage, and possibly the disabling of the crimean bridge from it, is a matter of time and and where will we flee then, they ask, it's better to flee sooner than later by the way, the first announcements that apartments were being sold closer to the beginning of the war and these apartments were sold by fsb employees, where were the fsb employees who came to crimea with the russian federation? they somehow but earlier we understood that it is better to be somewhere else , but by the way, another place, i also wanted to say

that kadyrov is no longer writing these posts, as if he is near kiev, something like he is there under mariup or where else has he been, he has already flown to dubai to rest i think of him in the bathhouse, that’s all. and by the way, their propagandist kiselyov is also resting somewhere there, for some reason, not under a pension, anywhere. you see, they want to go there. yes, mr. serhiy. well, what about us ? very briefly that's what for this week will be key, well, first of all, i think that the enemy will at least somehow try to reach the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk oblasts, there is a lot of equipment, let's say, personnel, but we can see the motivation of this personnel if he is ready to destroy the titans on which he has to fight, the potential of such an army is very little. at the same time, there are risks in all uh-uh directions, it is there uh-huh, directly along the cock of ukraine, where the enemy is once again accumulating equipment and artillery to

destroy our city, but without personnel it is very difficult to do. so, we are waiting for the approaches to may 9 and putin's actions, which can actually create new risks, but i repeat without a really motivated person. izhorets was with us , a military expert, the effect of express. i am vasyl, winter is with you. i say goodbye until tomorrow. until 19:00, mr. serhiy will also be with us tomorrow. we will summarize tomorrow after a short break. bbc news ukraine , be with espresso, take care of yourself. good evening. we are from ukraine, on april 4, the rrt concert illegally turned off the digital air of the ukrainian independent tv channels espresso, the fifth and direct, a petition has been registered on the website of the cabinet of ministers of ukraine,
