russian military invasion once again, dynamo and shakhtar players were given the opportunity to leave the country and hold a series of charity matches to support our country and our army. so today it is hardly possible to expect a coordinated and bright game from our players, the main thing is to gradually renew the functional and game tone of performers were deprived of the russian-ukrainian war , the game with borussia will start at 9:45 p.m. kyiv time, the german team of referees led by daniel siebert will work for ukraine at the match the head coach of the national team of our team oleksandr petrakov spoke about the staffing situation in the team and compared borussia with the scottish national team. in borussia, a similar game scheme is exactly 3-5-2 with a transition to 3-4-3. the scottish national team plays in a similar way. it would be good if against such the opponent played and our main players are legionnaires, we tell the boys how to play, there is time, this is a very

good opponent. i really like that the boys teach themselves in training . 17 field players cannot play yet viktor tsygankov oleksiy hutsuliak will go home he was injured for about two weeks viktor kornienko was called up to the national team and did not come due to injury serhiy kravtsov has not played for six months, he recently started recovery and also with his thoughts and emotions the day before the performance for the main team of ukraine was also shared by the defender of kyiv dynamo, and for zabarnya, direct speech is not just a game, not just a friendly game, it is a game for the national team, every game for the national team is like a challenge for we are preparing for our main rival, scotland, and everyone understands that it will be a very difficult game. the games will prepare for

scotland and we need to prepare well. it is important and we want to support them with our game, to give at least something of ourselves, the national football team of ukraine will play two consecutive friendly matches in less than a day, as it was previously known, the match against rijeka, croatia, is scheduled for may 18, however, the national team's calendar before the decisive match against scotland, which will take place on june 1, underwent another change, the blue and yellow will play two matches in a row over two days on may 17 and 18 before the game against rijeka and on may 17, ukraine will play a friendly match against the representative of the italian series and the empoli club, and after the match in italy, the ukrainians immediately leave for the game in croatia, the ukrainian football association also announced that

in the week before the playoff match against scotland, there will be two more friendly matches with the participation of ukraine, the names of the opponents are to be announced literally in the near future, after agreeing on all the details and dates of the meeting, and then we will talk about tennis, in conclusion, we will talk about tennis ukrainian tennis player elina svitolina will perform at the main clay tournament of the roland garros season svitolina took a break from tennis performances, the boss in march, the first racket of ukraine explained this due to back problems, she missed a number of tournaments, in particular, the white jean king cup match of ukraine against the usa, as well as the start of the clay tournament in april, svitolina announced missing two tournaments in madrid and rome, but was included in the list of participants of roland garros 2022, now it has become known that the ukrainian tennis player will not perform at the french open championship. svitolina withdrew from the competition

. puerto rican monica puih, who was supposed to start her performances at the tournament from the qualification stage, will play instead. svitolina did not will play at roland garros for the first time in 11 years, during this period the ukrainian tennis player played in the main draw nine times in a row and reached the quarterfinals, which is actually the best result on the french manager and with this i conclude the sports section. of course i wish us all victory and in particular victory to the ukrainian national team. i say goodbye and hand over the floor to vasyl zimnyi who will continue the big broadcast. thank you very much evgeny evgeny pastukhov talked about sports well, we hope that our national team well, if not in friendlies yes, in already official matches, in particular, the scottish national team will play on the field no less lions than our fighters on the battlefield. we need victories to support the spirit of our people. yes, yes, and now we will talk about victories, it is possible somewhere and about defeats well, but about the

war serhiy zgurets my co-host expert defect express i congratulate you i congratulate you a-a yesterday we talked about exactly this military results of the day in our column called yesterday we talked about the russian orlan-10 that we started to knock down a lot like pears means somewhere in the fall from the tree, and today we will start talking about what our western partners created and handed over to us as part of the help in the war with the russians, these are drones like switch blade, well, besides the fact that it is a weekend than in the translation from english to ukrainian, i don't know much about them, please tell me more about these weapons, in fact, it is quite an interesting sample of weapons that the ukrainian army should receive today, and the pentagon announced the other day that the training of ukrainian soldiers who mastered this weapon and they can use it on the battlefield, usually the switch blade drone is used by special operations forces here, by the way, we see a video when our 53rd brigade

showed how it destroys the enemy with switch blade 300 because we have to get these free guys switch blade 300 and switch blade 600 with switch blade 300 no problem it's a munition that can stay in the air for 40 minutes and destroy the enemy with a warhead that is basically equal in power to a hand grenade this ammunition is controlled using the joystick of the monitor, as we can see, and in principle it can be used both day and night, in total we should receive 700 rounds of ammunition for the 300 and 600 versions. supply related to the sich blade e-e 600, interesting nuances appeared today in the american press , information was provided that in fact the company

that manufactures its chio blades must sign a contract with the ministry of defense, in contrast to the small ammunition that was taken from the arsenals of the ministry of defense of powerful ammunition switch blade 600, which are capable of flying 40 km and have a powerful warhead, there is still not enough of such ammunition, and this production is in manual mode, now the pentagon and this company have enter into contracts after they make a large batch of these ammunitions, they will be transferred to the ukrainian army. but for now we will use the switch blade 300, which we see is quite effective in fighting the enemy's ground forces, but the switch blade 600 - this is still a better thing because it has more combat part besides the switch blade 600 we are now expecting another new barrage ammunition which in fact there is

no picture or photo what does it look like this uh the ammunition is called phoenix ghost this ammunition is supplied to us in order to fill this gap with delay ammunition switch blade 600 we have to get 120 such ammunition and this ammunition weighs much more than the blade 600 and it can stay in the air for up to 6 hours if we find that the gap barrage can stay in the air 6 hours we understand that this is a sufficiently large ammunition and our military has already been trained for this sufficiently technological product, but i repeat today there is not a single picture or video that we could show what it looks like but i think that soon the enemy will see it and see how effective these things are on the battlefield. let's remember the worthy experiences in the mountainous karabakh, where it is possible to do better

at the expense of barrage ammunition. azerbaijan really broke the spirit of the armenian defense and we have all the reasons. new technological solutions were used to sow panic and in in the ranks of the russian military well, i won’t say at the expense of what, well, besides courage, it also means skill, our troops crushed the enemy, slaughtered the enemy in the kharkiv region , today i read the following phrase, which means the battle for kharkiv is practically won, well, it is as global as the battle for kyiv. that is, we are talking not only about kyiv there, but also about the surrounding areas . well, in fact, it would be a far-fetched scheme if today we have already managed to significantly advance the enemy in all directions, but the situation is positive in one respect, it is so difficult, let's say something, let's start with the positive, the situation in kharkiv is really a sign of the planned and high-quality offensive actions we have taken

the enemy is already more than 40 km away, and when we just recently talked to you about old saltiv, today we say that five other places behind old saltiv have already been liberated, which significantly expand the zone of our influence, so to speak, and actually to the russian border there there are about 10 km left, the enemy is fleeing, some of his combat tactical groups are generally moving to the russian border. in principle, there were not so many russian troops there, 3-5 btg, but now the enemy is trying to stop us using artillery there, but we we understand that, in fact, the potential of our forces is large enough, and even more so, in order to stop our offensive, the enemy is starting to shift units located in the izyube direction to the north or somehow compensate for the lack of power around kharkiv, so that

a completely positive offensive operation is taking place around kharkiv, which was planned with a wide use, first of all, of artillery, then of tank units, which really pushed the enemy not only close to the russian border, even to some directions that are related to the logistical support of the izyum group, but with regard to the situation in luhansk region, the situation there is more complicated to a certain extent than in kharkiv region. what does the map of the hostilities look like now? well, in fact, if we see this map prepared by the institute for the study of war, the green rings show the zones where there were confrontations, but around the raisin actually continued for days, no special actions took place and the enemy stopped trying to advance into the periwinkle at all, now it is actually regrouping to move directly to the side

estuary and slavyansk, but the situation that is directly related to the north-donetsk stand is quite complicated, because the fighting is taking place directly around the north-donetsk region, directly in the frontier, the enemy is trying to gain a foothold around the north-donetsk region. right now, such battles are taking place actions where there is no advance, but the density of artillery is powerful enough, it is interesting that it was there that the enemy tried to cross the siverskyi donets river, he actually built a ferry crossing, and transferred a equipment, but we destroyed this crossing and it is interesting that together with this plasma, about 30 units of armed equipment, these are tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and in fact it was not quite an epoch-making spectacle, because it was recorded there even in photographs. the palm tree is quite interesting. the video and photos were presented on the network. you can

look at it, but in the enemies, which is not surprising, are again trying to build a crossing over siversky donetsk and are again trying to ensure the formation of forces or move directly to e-e lysychansk and seversk, these spices again are being built near belogorivka, where this crossing with 30 samples of russian armored vehicles was actually destroyed, and also very good ones, which are directly and in the direction of popasna, there, in fact, we retreated to the second prepared line, and the enemy is now trying to further use its capabilities to take under control, the direction from popasnaya to bakhmut, it is known that they pulled up extremely powerful self-propelled pion guns there in order to ensure the destruction of our defenses in

the direction of bakhmut, but i think that we should already pull up american howitzers to destroy the enemy no less effectively. well, actually, about the meaning of the enemy, eh, now we will talk about the island of change , the island of russian luck, the championship is not in the ocean, in the black sea, in the west of the water area, the russians constantly report that they destroyed everything in in ukraine, they destroyed our planes out of 10 times, they talked about it, now they will say that they destroyed a lot of our aircraft and other equipment on snake island and actually took it under complete control. and what really is happening on this island, why is it so important now to control this small piece of land in the black sea? well, actually, the statement of the ministry of defense of russia was generally loved. they said that two days ago, ukraine

carried out an offensive operation to free the snake and due to the heroism there russian soldiers, they managed to destroy five or six of our planes, about 12 baryakhtars, a bunch of other military equipment, that is, it looked like this, to be honest, on one side, three gifars and on the other side they themselves created a fake victory and are trying to cover up the real losses on the snake island, but the island of change, let's say that for today, it is quite an interesting object because after we destroyed the cruiser ukraine, the cruiser moscow yes, let's say so yes , the russian federation has lost the opportunity to provide air defense in the black sea, and now they are actively trying to use the snake in order to deploy their own air defense system

and already after the cruiser moskva was destroyed at the expense of the barrector, we managed to grind a significant amount of russian military equipment that they brought there, relatively speaking, four air defense systems were destroyed there, several e-e high-speed boats and landing boats of the communication system and even helicopter, all this was destroyed due to the effectiveness of the use of the baryakhtar unmanned complex, but despite such a large destruction, they are starting to pull up landing ships again from yesterday equipment and are trying to re-deploy the snake air defense system on the island in order to ensure control over the western part of the black sea, it is said that they want to deploy pantsyr missile systems and even

an anti-ship missile complex there, so in fact we are waiting for the continuation of this naval battle. by the way, there is no reason for us to somehow attack the island of change because, in addition to using the baryakhtar, we have enough other means of high-precision equipment - this applies to the szo and rockets, we can persuade the aggressor who wants to gain a foothold on the island of change. if at home , the continuation of the story around the island will be snaky. and by the way, we think that we will hear such negotiations when we heard about when the russian officers in pana these e-e contacted each other trying to get help in the conditions when at that time the unmanned baryakhtar attacked the russian boats, so the continuation will be, well, actually, this leads to losses of the enemy from his naval forces, well, actually, we will talk

with anton mikhnenko and our messengers we are already in touch mr. anton, i congratulate you mr. serhiy, please, i congratulate you, please tell me, did you prepare uh, from the point of view of evaluation uh, the loss of the russian federation in financial equivalents, because we now see every day reports of the general staff on the amount of destroyed military equipment. and what is happening from the financial point of view - substantiate these figures, you know, i will tell you this way that today, based on the indicators of losses that the russian federation has in ukraine, of course it is possible to analyze only on the average and toilet, because you can hear me like that. yes, we hear you as an option, then look, there are different types of airplanes, there are different types of helicopters, and their cost is also different, but in principle, on average, you can say that an airplane is somewhere around 25 million helicopters somewhere about 18

million tanks, somewhere around 2.5 million, and if, in principle, you count by these and such the most valuable things for politicians by helicopter and attacks, then it already works out to about 10-6 billion dollars lost by the russian federation at the moment in in rubles, this is 731 billion rubles, that is, in fact, if anything, we have to add to this figure these indicators that were for other things, which were lost by the russian federation simply by air defense complexes and fired a missile . probably rubles, for sure, this is a big enough number, and it is big even on the scale of the whole of russia, in one context, you can say that their losses are really big, and the main thing is not what else they have lost, but what they have recover for some time, but the question is that this recovery process will be very difficult for

the russian federation, we know that there are a large number of sanctions imposed on great britain by the european union and the united states of america. the russian federation actually lost the opportunity to receive some components from japan, taiwan and it is limited in those possibilities to effectively restore these losses that it has now suffered on the territory of ukraine here and now a large number of problems in the defense industry of the same russian federation. they begin not only in the impossibility of reproducing certain models, but also in the tension in the social tensions of workers working in the defense-industrial complex of the russian federation. if we talk about the second, we see that there is an increase prices, it's all tied to the dollar today and they see that her problems with sugar by the same means a very large number of people are trying to buy her problems well with big things and this definitely pushes people who

working in the field of defense industry to demand or ask, conditionally speaking, their management to increase their wages, because you are her wages, which they are not enough to cover these needs, which is one problem, but another problem - this is what applies here, as i said already restored, if we look, for example, at the same military kamazes that were manufactured for defense for the defense industry of the russian federation, we see that the same kamazes used imported components, the same gearboxes that are there they will be inside, and they will use their old one, but the old one is no longer suitable for the tasks it was intended for, it is already different combat operations, other requirements for military equipment, this is automotive equipment, if we are talking about armored vehicles, the same tanks, hooray, the wagon factory has test problems, because inside the same machines 172 b3 were typical sights that were imported from abroad, including from france, only the production of the italis company, if we talk about

high-precision missile weapons, this is again a problem in the innovator at the moment underline which produced the same cruise missiles of the caliber that actually targets a large number of civilian objects on the territory of ukraine, including if now they did not aim accurately, if so, when will they start to reproduce, try to produce, add some elements, try to reproduce at the expense of their own capabilities, that is, the fluidity and waves of rockets. this will be a big problem, and the problem is that they will not be able to get it microelements, that is, i mean those the very microcircuits that were manufactured, including in taiwan, in order to implement their cruise missiles that were manufactured before that, we see a

systemic problem here. and this is the problem. they can do it, but inside there is a filling that used what and where imported components were used and they were italian, they were german, the same boats that we know, on which it would work quite successfully the reaction of the basement, they also used imported components, that is, over time, they will not be able to reproduce what they have now, and this will definitely happen . sometimes they will sink even deeper and deeper into that hole, er, savka , from which they will later know when they will cut out, and whether the enemy will be able to recreate the losses in manpower, but the information is coming, and even such photos are confirmation, people add about the fact that in russia is now beginning to actively summon people to the military commissariats there of conscripted reserve officers somewhere on the 17th, so that the military commissariats will appear there to allegedly check the

data surrounding there, whether putin will be able to recover the lost lost forces in the war with ukraine and how good it will be replacement did not hear did not hear again i did not succeed putin er putin now er because of this hidden mobilization which is actually already being carried out in russia to reproduce qualitatively the losses suffered by his army especially at the beginning of the war when certain elite division regiments were actually destroyed or very badly beaten here in ukraine, i think it will be a big problem, so look. there are even special units there, they definitely received high- quality equipment that provided adequate protection in the first place, that is, insufficient troops they will be better equipped to have the same better body armor than body armor or a regular military infantry unit in this body armor is used exactly kivarova moment or there reinforced thread is only called now access to

of this reinforced thread in russia will be limited. that is , we can say that over time, because they have not already lost a certain contingent of people together with equipment, and they have not restored, they have not restored this bulletproof vest, that is, they will have a problem in the future that what kind of bulletproof vests to give by these specially appointed military personnel, that is, the airborne forces, you understand. that is, we see that over time, the combat readiness and ability of such elite units will be lost even more. ugh. they will not be able to restore what they had at the beginning. thank you for these comments. and regarding the ability of the russian army to restore potential in personnel, i think that such opportunities are quite limited, now the military is really starting to be called up from the reserve, but this does not have the same effect from the point of view of rapid

strengthening of potential, rather it reaches the point of absurdity graduates of the soviet landing school who are to be graduated right away they should go to the front line, this means that the enemy is trying to plug the gaps in the personnel in any way, that is because we understand how parents should react of course, everything is at the discretion of the king, but many parents are already beginning to understand that it is impossible to lose their children, so with these russian soldiers there, well, the graduates are only 22 years old, somewhere around but you may not know what happened to them because now many parents from the occupied crimea say that my son is there. they also have the ones where the moscow cruiser sunk. there were many people there for about 300 years and you cannot determine the fate of their people. it is very, very cunning that they are considered missing . and those who are among them missing people. they don't pay any compensation for them. that is, you didn't raise your child there, they gave him an education, well, the state there is something like that too, and then they

send them to war and literally everything is not answered , no greetings, and no one will look for those sailors, so in the liver of the black sea, so what indeed , the situation related to personnel is a serious challenge for the russian leadership, now they are trying to carry out a covert mobilization for fear of announcing a general mobilization, and i think that this is precisely one of the serious basements that is beginning to crack under the russian army. we understand that for a long time the groups of troops that are in ukraine have already exhausted their, let's say, psychological support, some need to be replaced by other personnel, and it is simply not there, and there is no more information that there will be no rotation until this military operation in ukraine is completed. uh, rumor, this rumor was spread directly by russian troops , this is just one more factor that the future for a russian soldier looks quite bleak. by the way, interestingly, today i removed the documents

whose enemies were talking about the fact that russia was planning to seize the whole of ukraine, it is still strange to me how the russian strategy could expect to seize a country of 42 million people with these two thousand troops, in principle, i think that this is a mistake in the system because it says that on the one hand there was a belief that they will be met with bread, because with bread and salt, and on the other hand, the fact that the fifth column will do its job and then the troops will simply enter ukraine on white pmps, we see that this is precisely the failure of planning and the inability to realistically assess the potential of ukraine, now they have broken it to the teeth and with the gerasimov doctrine and other plans that we see are beginning to crumple like shagreen skin from the point of view of their goals regarding ukraine, the problem of the russian machine is that it is not too technologically mobile to instantly change itself, and it does not change itself at all

the pentagon draws conclusions about the second phase of the operation, they say mistakes with logistics, mistakes with management , mistakes, we ensure, keep the same, they added artillery, added firepower, and with from the point of view of management and logistics, the flaws are the same. so this means that in fact these gaps in the russian defense remain significant. thank you very much . serhiy zgurets was with us. my co-host was an expert of defense express. these were the military results of the day. let me remind you that my name is vasyl zima. we say goodbye to you. already until thursday uh oh until friday on friday we will sum up these two days literally in a minute bbc news of ukraine to your attention be with espresso take care see you good evening we are from ukraine every day every moment even in the war there is a place a miracle that moves inspires and gives strength to believe in

our victory, so we appreciate miracles do not happen there well, it is for yourself to find the ukrainian military is pushing out the russians near kharkiv the kremlin threatens to annex kherson oblast this is the 77th day of russia's war against ukraine, we are talking about the main events on the bbc live tens of billions of dollars from london for ukraine, what exactly will the new package of american aid be used for
