the authorities who started this scenario, they should stop and imagine, because today is definitely not the time to clarify political relations. today is definitely not the time for people to start dividing on the basis of party lines . under artillery fire, under fire from the russian occupiers, they must know for sure that zapilli pulled into kyiv, which is now a distant kyiv, everything is solid and strong there. everyone stands for ukraine and everyone stands shoulder to shoulder, and that is why i am very i hope that these people who will start the scenario will stop and will not destroy the most important thing that we need today for victory, our unity and our fighting spirit, which today exists both in the ukrainian

army and in ukrainian society . the people's deputy of ukraine is fighting us in the south of our country and a little time for news in russia called the condition of unblocking the export of ukrainian grain through the black sea and it actually resembles the demand of ordinary ordinary terrorists deputy minister of foreign affairs of the russian federation andriy rudenko said that moscow will agree to the creation of green corridors for ukrainian grain in the black sea in exchange for what do you think about the easing of sanctions? at least the russian mass media reported this, according to him, russia is ready to provide these corridors for the export of grain from blocked ports if ukraine ensures their demining, obviously, of the ports, and the west relaxes the sanctions, what about the

sanctions against the russian federation, so to speak, which introduced in the world and those countermeasures that were taken by the russian federation, i will remind you that for a long time they watched the exchange of rubles or er in another currency, for what will the europeans pay for russian gas, in particular, what exactly will they pay for and here is the washington post now writes about the fact that similar european energy companies supported the demand of the president of russia vladimir putin to buy natural gas using a new payment system, it provides for the creation of two accounts in the russian gazprombank and enables europe should declare that it technically pays for natural gas in euros, while russia will be able to say that it receives payment in rubles, yes, yes, no, the russians are allowed to capture and occupy odesa, the operational command of the south today reported at a

briefing that odesa remains in the enemy's priorities, the level before the capture was cut off before the occupation, but it is also killed for a peaceful life by the odessans themselves , enemy ship groups are reforming, strengthening, transporting networks, trying to equip certain positions, including and on snake island in crimea, additional air defense divisions are being deployed because the enemy realizes that the damage to his ships is not a chimera . glory to the heroes well, there are several questions, especially the events in the east of our country, which i would really like to clarify with you, in particular, because high-quality military analytics always comes to you, in particular, dmitry here

information that the possibility of an operational encirclement, in particular, in the luhansk region remains quite high, but now at least they are talking about this in the institute of war studies, it seems that the enemy has concentrated on creating not such a single ring, so to speak, but several smaller severodonetsk-lysichansk the discussion will continue in the same way about the ring around avdiyivka, if we talk about luhansk oblast in particular, there is information that it is really extremely difficult in severodonetsk, and there was quite a lot of information about the bakhmut lyman track but it still remains, in principle, under fire, but the situation there is under control, what is the situation with the estuary? do you have this information? why am i asking because there is an understanding that there are opportunities in the raisin direction , in which case the enemy will be able to feed by taking lyman

well, in the lyman area there, er, assault operations began, it seems like two days ago, er, there is such a frontal offensive, er, of the russian troops, a frontal offensive is the thing that they are least successful in this war, but it is very unpleasant because, well, they do not regret they have absolutely no ammunition, artillery shells, there is no such thing as a shortage, they don’t spare uh, residential quarters, they simply destroy cities and then enter them when the ukrainian troops have no reason to hold on to these ruins, in fact, that’s how it was in volnovas, that’s how it was uh, well in fact, in the border area, now, the enemy is pushing in the direction of the limans, well, for now

, fighting is still going on there, but in principle, in liman, unfortunately , it is under significant threat and approximately the same as it happened yesterday in the area svittodarska arcs, i will not be surprised if, in a few days, the ukrainian troops will withdraw from there so as not to get into an operational encirclement, you said about the direction of lysichanskyi and severodonetsk about the bakhmut-lysichansk route. well, there is such a remark that it is a bit strange to me when we learn some conclusions or some supposedly first-hand information from western sources such as the war research institute, because in fact they already work with the material that is in open sources, and open source materials in particular

today, from the journalists who are present in north donetsk and in the area of ​​the bakhmut-lysichansk highway, they unfortunately testify that the enemy is not just shooting at this highway, and in some places it has already been taken under control, and manifestations are already beginning in this direction there is still an operational encirclement of our group there, there is another secondary road that can be used to get out of lysychansk, but there is a great threat that this encirclement may happen and in order for it not to happen, the ukrainian troops must carry out some counterattack actions there a large part of our command troops there see all this and well, so that the rings do not close in time, it is necessary to act accordingly. i would like to see some more active actions, but the tactics of

the russians have changed, if you compare even it there, i don’t know with the last two months, that is, they are starting to process very powerfully artillery, i.e., artillery support, even the advance of the platoon group, that is, they do not spare uh, they do not spare, they do not spare ammunition, on the other hand, they gradually gradually begin to reach certain fire positions about the strategic about the strategic prospects in the luhansk region separately . in principle, just as in the kherson region, the enemy

has dug in at certain boundaries, of course, in the kherson region, they want to reach the administrative borders of the kherson region in order to have as such a complete completed, so to speak, in quotation marks, the region for it there is some kind of variant of its annexation , ideally they are also considering the zaporizhia region , but the zaporizhia region is the same as the kherson region, if you take half a year completely for this. they do not have special... e reserves and e-e forces to implement this plan, they decided to act e-e so gradually in such smaller steps, but now they have the main forces concentrating on luhansk region , not even so much on donetsk region as on luhansk region, that is, how to talk about an e-e land offensive, then he uh now it is happening primarily in the luhansk region, in

other e-e regions, including in the zaporizhzhia region, now there are such artillery shellings, artillery duels - it is, well, in the stick, where they cannot reach, there are rockets, but, first of all, it is a rocket salvo system fire is what works well, unfortunately for us, the russians have learned their lessons from the first stage of the war and they no longer rush into such cavalry attacks, but act gradually in order to minimize, in particular, their losses and unfortunately, we have to say that the losses at least if not. if they are not worse now for us, well, what is my forecast? actually, it is not new. it will all happen in several stages and what will await the zaporizhia region and the southern direction

in general. it will be a consequence of what the russians will be able to do. to do at the current stage, which is ongoing in luhansk, and then it may continue in the donetsk region, and now we are simply holding them back there and, uh, we are delaying the time, in addition, to gain some advantage in armaments, because, well, it is already a fact that the russians have a significant advantage in artillery weapons it is actively used when we already wanted to say when we will be interrogated, it seems we have already been interrogated, but when we will receive high-quality new and high-quality stronger e-e rocket artillery from the western allies, when these deliveries will be inaccurate for some units and when it will be a mass phenomenon e-e for everything of our front, then we will

probably have a certain advantage and be able to restrain this pressure or it is like i don’t know like a bucket of cold water against the background of these victorious relations there, the collective arrestee is not even a question of of the arrestee himself. because we are regularly fed with the fact that as we advance and fight back, we know how difficult the situation is, in particular, with artillery , with ammunition, with fish, and so on. and so on. and so on. through their, so to speak, others in the west, one or another peace formula, well, in the kremlin, they normally reject it, but de facto we see the italian initiative , the kissinger initiative, well, this is what is floating around, so there is a feeling that maybe the russians are really preparing before some kind of freezing, we are talking about the temporarily occupied territory, i.e. luhansk region, donetsk region and the

south. yes, and after that, they are going to enter into negotiating positions. well, if the russians wanted to enter into certain negotiations, they would have entered into them a long time ago. here we pushed out the enemy from the kyiv sumy chernihiv oblasts, and we were already there. bankova wanted to conclude some kind of interim

peace treaty and give up some territories. er, we saw that we were going to lose, er, zelensky at that moment began to talk about the fact that our victory will be a departure from the position on february 24, then in italy buda kyrylo from intelligence says that er, when there until at the end of the year, we are a bunny. in the fall, we will enter the crimea. and that will be our offensive. i don't have the feeling that the russians want to stop at some borders and sign some kind of peace treaty with temporary control of the captured regions. they came. that's why they came . they came here not to seize luhansk, donetsk region, not to seize kherson region and 80% of zaporozhye, they came here to seize at least most of ukraine, including kyiv. therefore, maybe thousands, unless

about some postponement of this offensive, but unfortunately the bad news is that the russians see their strength and they also have the desire to advance further. and the fact that, for example, they have now become more active in the donbas direction, and they are not carrying out any actions in kharkiv oblast or kherson oblast. do not take into account the shelling of artillery rockets there is not meant to be meant not to carry out active offensive actions only indicates that they decided to do it gradually step by step eh in some peaceful initiatives eh mediation westerners, on the contrary, i do not agree now, and unfortunately, even now, the negotiations regarding the exchange of prisoners have frozen after the exit from mariupol, for example, the negotiations have stopped, for example, the negotiations may continue, but the exchange of prisoners

who were captured in other directions they stopped, we we don't even fully understand three key questions about mariupol. yesterday, with christiana, we tried to get the truth, so to speak, about who is responsible from our side for the story with the exchange or further care of our boys from mariupol, we could not understand who exactly is there, some abstract bankova, some other the authorities know something about this matter, i have yet to buy a warehouse to anyone in our environment the agreements regarding the terms of exit from azovstali are not incomprehensible and not obvious, well, it is obvious that the main language was the preservation of the lives of the defenders of azovstali by the way, i drew attention to the fact that after the first day, when there were 250, 260,

the ukrainian side has never announced , in short, less than three hundred. the total number, these numbers are known to us only from british intelligence and further from the side of the aggressor country, which calls the number 2400 with something and it is similar to the truth. other countries that, uh, contributed to the fact that our boys remained alive, for example, yesterday there was another message to confirm the statement that the commander of the radish regiment, azov prokopenko, is alive and everything cannot help but be happy, but the person responsible for it, of course, we will negotiate, is bankov because in our country everything as the leadership of the movement converges on president zelenskiy as the supreme commander, this is a higher level than iryna

vyryshchuk, who was in charge and, well, included in the negotiations regarding the average military personnel there, so to speak, and in particular, in particular, those who were captured on snake island, there is a separate the story still remains there, according to my data, there are about 60 soldiers from zmyniy and their wives and mothers insist very much that the negotiations regarding their exchange do not stop, what will happen next after these, she is about leaving australia. i don't know. well, according to today's information, we see that russia felt that it was leaning against purely propagandistic pictures, that they need to condemn the nazis, they need to sentence them, and then they will watch. that is, it will be a little stretched in time. because this procedure is procedural, it needs certain uh-uh, i don’t know, weeks, months , at least, and what does not affect our role in

this sense is that, unfortunately, the ratio of our prisoners in russian captivity and russians in for our half, it is already many times not in our favor. if before it was the other way around in the first weeks of the war months. if before there we insisted on a one -to-one exchange, now it is already necessary to talk about this action from other mechanisms about possible other political agreements because if we change one to the other, unfortunately, a lot of our soldiers will remain in captivity, but now the russians have more prisoners of our soldiers than theirs, we do not emphasize this, uh, without the armed forces, they are not authorized to talk about it at all, the government it's just not in her interests. well, you see, it's obvious that there were periods when iryna

vereshchuk said that approximately 700-700 of theirs with us and ours with them took place after that, it seems that one or two such local exchanges took place there, something by a few tens, maybe this total figure decreased, but still it was parity, approximately the same number. but after that there was one big capture of e-e in mariupol when e-e group e-e combrig of the 36th brigade of the lamb went on a breakthrough and did she make such a fuss and ended up well at first they thought that many of them had died, then it turned out that many of them were really in captivity and baranyuk himself was in captivity of the heroes of ukraine, they talked about about 800-900 people who were added

to these conditional seven hundred who were there before this is what happened, the large exodus from azov became when we don't know the exact numbers, we don't know the official numbers from our side, but they are accurate. well, if we take british intelligence, it's more than 1,700, and it's more than 2,000, according to me. well, sound logic suggests that that there was still one day of release and that's where we are about two thousand, if we add approximately 3,000 to the 700 that were there before. well, of course, the ukrainian side may have taken someone, but they were not such mass captures. that is, it works out somewhere. well, maybe one in four, such a ratio if if thank you also our civilians, who are also not ashamed to be captured by the russians as comrades, simply active people, very often volunteers . thank you for this honest analysis. well, because all our

tv viewers are somewhat tired of a certain, i don’t know, gilded optimism dmytro likhovi chief the editor of the news channel, in order to know more , read the website of the tv channel espresso news channel and other pro-ukrainian resources, please support them, because, well , at least this online publication exists precisely on donates, in particular, funds really high-quality and honest journalism, which is what we should have now in zaporizhzhia and the region, i will remind you that there were missile strikes there today, and the air raid alert has just ended there, and our speaker is still in the bomb shelter, as we understand it, and we hope that we will still contact ms. zlata nekrasova as soon as it comes out of storage well, i just have to say that they hit a specific one in the city of zaporozhye , we are talking about the destruction of at least a few

residential buildings in the private, let's say, sector , we are also talking about the intervention in the shopping center, which is known throughout the city, they say that the intervention of the hit was directly into the dome, so it is not yet possible to talk about any restoration of work there, how many missiles were er and where else could they have gone, given the fact that in zaporizhzhia there is a huge number of er industrial er let's say so complexes of factories and plants, we understand the strategic importance of this city for our industry, especially considering that russia is not only engaged in demilitarization, as it claims, it is rather engaged in the industrialization of our country so that we cannot economically do anything, in the end, it is me the attacks on zaporizhzhia will not surprise, and in the future, the russian strategy is to destroy the main competitors in various global markets

, in particular, we are talking about our unique and different plants, such as the odesa port plant, they have it for a reason quite deliberately destroyed, that is, in this way they are starting to break in general the entire infrastructure, i don’t know some kind of chemical production picture of the world . they have been acting this way for a long time , that is, they tried to buy out the enterprise, they paid one or another, i don't know, bribe to the group that was responsible for the possibility of its privatization, they privatized after that they proved it until its complete demise. well, accordingly. for example , the lviv bus plant was destroyed, that is, the russians bought it at one time in the 90s, so after that, it collapsed, collapsed, and

in the end, it all ended with the fact that no one produces lviv buses anymore. they act, but now instead they use rockets and they want to destroy powerful scientific plants. that is , this is high-precision equipment that they produce , that is, it also applies to the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, and not only the news from the black sea, the russians took from region from the bottom of the black sea and the famous black sea someone knocked, the russians took away bodies and secret equipment from the moscow cruiser, the main directorate of our intelligence reports, therefore, according to representatives of the gur , russia conducted a rescue operation on the sunken cruiser moscow, which lasted almost two weeks, was involved from p' up to seven ships, most of them were rescue ships, boats, tugs that retrieved the bodies, removed all the equipment that was classified there and carried out the cleaning of this cruiser and

what should not have fallen into the hands of the so-called third countries well, what, uh, in my opinion, somehow the news that concerns the decisions of the state duma and the russian federation, and the age restrictions that apply to contract workers in this country were removed earlier a-a well, let's say so earlier it was about younger people now the bill justifies the abolition of the age limit by the fact that the russian army needs highly professional specialists who are usually over 40 years old, well, of course, only generals fell on ukrainian soil, it is necessary to add something to that whole story, in any case, i i think that the mobilization in the russian federation is not the only hidden ones . i don’t know how successful it is, but we can see that he is still afraid to go to his own people, to his society and with an open

initiative regarding a full-scale mobilization. register of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleb urged not to be blackmailed by russia to unblock the ports, he emphasized that russia alone is responsible for the global food crisis. well, he did it in view of different proposals, so to speak, that they say. they will make some corridors for the export of food, i don't know. the world food crisis , we understand that history is tragic for the countries of north africa, for asia, but in any case, the situation in ukraine is no less tragic, tragic, and it is directly related to russian military aggression, and we understand that the solution must be comprehensive , mr. kuleba says this on the sidelines of the world economic forum in davos, russia is now engaged in blackmail, saying that it will unblock the roads

of exports for ukrainian products if the west lifts sanctions. unfortunately, some are going for it, it is so interesting, in fact, about the unblocking of our ships for the export of er grain, you know they are very er very careful and are usually in china giving any assessments related to the russian-ukrainian wars, but uh, still strategically important ukrainian grain in particular active noticed in asian countries, apparently it is leaking out here, because the chinese authorities called to ensure free uh, unhindered excuse me, the export of ukrainian grain by creating the shortest term green corridor was announced by the minister of foreign affairs of the people's republic of china, ivan, and during the negotiations with his german colleague nalena berbok, in the current situation, the international community should contribute to the cessation of fire as soon as possible in order to ensure a green corridor for the export of grain

, the chinese diplomat urged, adding that he is ready to support communication with each other to resolve this issue, well, the main thing is that they do not cancel the embargo for russian grain, so to speak, we understand that the whole matter must be resolved only the complex and we have to understand that the countries of the third world, which are very often dependent on food both from ukraine and from russia, should show greater initiative because it does not happen that on the one hand russia occupied part of our territory and holds thousands of our fighters hostage on the other side, so to speak, there will be a green corridor in order to solve the global world crisis, that is, the global world crisis must be solved with the help of the liberation of ukraine from russian intervention and no concessions territorial, in particular, from our side, eh, as far as china is concerned, i just want to remind you that according to

reports from bloomberg, china is increasing imports of russian oil from the far east, part of the delivered volumes are sent to warehouses, and china is a willing consumer of russian oil, since most other buyers avoid its export due to the war in ukraine, au is one of the most attractive types of oil, partly due to the short distance to the pond. this is how, when we talk about china, we must always be careful and always look at this coin from different sides in our country it's news time on the espresso tv channel and will be presented by our colleague anna eva melnyk, we congratulate you anna eva what's new in ukraine and the world in the last hour thank you khrystyna russian nazis used 60% of their stockpile of high-precision weapons our intelligence reports about this
