it does not exist because for this both sides must understand and russia, first of all, that its interests are not satisfied because it is a separate way. thus, due to its military invasion of ukraine, and it has to solve the issue, there is an opportunity to solve the issue because of the abundance because of the joint search for problems well, this is a classic of negotiations, that is, there is a question a- ah between us. there is a connection, yes, yuri, please, you just did not hear, i thought that you had already lost connection, please complete the thought, there is a question, er, that is, russia today does not see the possibility of solving all its issues through negotiations with ukraine, that is why

it is in is not interested in this, and it is very wonderful that our political leadership understands this, and literally the statement that was made by our minister during the briefing with the minister of foreign affairs of france confirms again that they understand perfectly well the absolute unwillingness of russia for negotiations, we meanwhile if if this happens, then the question arises as to who can be such an active mediator of victories and the turkish side, we understand that it has its own agenda and again going back to how she talked about her negotiations with putin, the first question that the turkish side asked that was discussed was the issue of the military operation in syria in the e-e of turkey in the north of syria, and only then was the question of the situation regarding ukraine raised, so i see that there is your own order, you are right, there are your own interests that you are trying to pursue and settle in that including due to the improvement of their income to the budget

as a result of the influx of tourists, most likely from the russian federation, in the new tourist season, and other issues, that is why it is necessary to pay careful attention to those who the king can play it more than the minister of foreign affairs of france yes today she offered her mediation efforts at a time when russia and ukraine will be ready for this, this is very gratifying because we know that earlier in the morning macron urged us to negotiate with russia as soon as possible now, obviously, the french side realizes that such negotiations are currently impossible. thank god that the fate of ukraine continues to be decided on the battlefield . you are very welcome yulia osmolovskaya, a diplomat, the head of the atlantic dialogue center, was in touch with us. but you always have

to negotiate, because the fate of the prisoners, the fate of the occupied city, the fate of the local population is there. destinies must be resolved, these issues must also be resolved but the fate of ukraine today is decided on the battlefield, and it is true, just as the fate of victories is decided on sports grounds, actually , yevgeny is ready to talk about sports in wartime yevgeny gradually yevheny, please, then say good evening, good evening to vasyl vitay also dear viewers of the espresso channel, in the next few minutes we will talk about what is happening in ukrainian sports during the full-scale russian-ukrainian war, and this episode will be dedicated to ukrainian victories in different sports from different at different competitions we will actually start with karate ukraine's karate team for the second year in a row wins four medals at the championship in gaziantep, turkey, the continental championship has ended ukraine won four medals, one gold and three bronze, blue-yellow took

column. i wish you a quiet, peaceful evening . victory to all of us. yevhen pastukhov told us, we say goodbye to him, thank you very much. i am glad to see and welcome serhii zgurets, my co -presenting colleague and expert of defense express. serhiyev will already comment on it and we will discuss it. the united states will not send to ukraine missile systems capable of hitting targets on the territory of the russian federation, which, by the way, we have dreamed about for a long time. information that the white house is preparing to provide our country with modern long-range missile systems, however, the us president did not specify what kind of weapons he was talking about earlier, american publications reported that washington approved the sending of rsv to ukraine with a large

the decision is supposed to be announced this week, but there is no official information at the moment. sergey, please comment on this story, are there any er stories for well, that's what they say to people and what they will do later. well, in fact, i think that it is hardly necessary to talk here about treason , we are talking about a sufficiently planned process of transferring long-range weapons to ukraine, because there is really a long discussion about exactly which rockets or guided projectiles for these bo-malaris we will get, and i think that biden’s answer is most likely refers to these atakam missiles, which have a range of up to 300 km, but i think that this is more of a diplomatic step that has, er, something, let's say, to reduce the risks that may exist there for certain operations. at the same time, it is interesting that the russian federation has really already begun to prepare for that we are receiving such long-range weapons

, according to our information, some command posts of the russian federation, which were located near our border there at a distance of three kilometers, are already being pulled back there 50 km further from our borders. and this suggests that they feel the risks of those samples that ukraine will still receive . equipping those melareises or chem archives at full speed or at low speed , these e-e systems, even with a capacity of 70 km, allows us to solve the task of fighting the enemy's lithuanians with logistical reserves, because one can say an interesting detail for today in combat operations on in the donetsk direction, the russian federation began to

actively use artillery, we know this, but the question arises. why is this situation different from the situation near kyiv? it turns out that the lion's share of ammunition and equipment is now supplied directly by rail transport, there are four areas to which the enemy usually brings all this ammunition and logistics it is directly there svatov zemahirya debaltsevo and makiivka, these roads are precisely the transport hubs where the enemy ensures the renewal of its forces, so the use of systems attacks would be very useful to all from the point of view of really covering these enemy logistics and destroying these capabilities but i hope that after we do get emelares with guided projectiles at 70 km the next step will really be attacks with a range of 300 km let's go for it believe. i think that the need for the help of the united states

for our armed forces will be gradual. and this option will still be included in the equipment of those systems that we receive . so far, ours are fighting with what they don't actually have, the fighting in the east of ukraine has reached its maximum intensity, according to the spokesman of the ministry of defense oleksandr matuzyanika, the russian occupying forces are not stopping the introduction of offensive actions, and the invaders are seeking full control over the territory of donetsk and luhansk regions, as well as ensuring stability alone in the corridor and from the rostov region to the crimea and the blocking of maritime communications of ukraine in the northwestern part of the black sea, that is, there near odessa in the black sea, the enemy currently keeps one ship a carrier of sea-based cruise missiles of the caliber type, a total possible salvo of up to eight missiles for this purpose, the russian command has used all its forces and

is making attempts to surround our troops in donetsk and luhansk regions, the fighting has reached the maximum intensity of the russian occupying forces are firing along the entire line of combat engagement and are also trying to strike in depth of our defense, at the same time, an assault is being carried out in several directions , fierce battles are being waged in the severodonetsk bakhmut yak, rakhiv directions, yak a-a the ministry of defense, oleksandr motyzyane, let's listen to our expert, mr. serhiy, please , intensity well, of course, where is it the highest, what is the situation at the front now, well, first of all, we pay attention to the situation directly around north donetsk, because this is actually the hottest point that we talk about every time that , on the one hand, it is such a political fetish for the russian federation, which is trying to seize and

thus enter the administration of the borders of the e-e luhansk region and precisely the main efforts of the enemy right now pull out of all the plots directly on the outskirts of severodonetsk, but all efforts are currently taking place on the outskirts of severodonetsk, except that there are separate areas where individual houses are captured by the enemy, but there is no advance to the city center. separated by a river and precisely the introduction of hostilities in the city, this is the direction that today causes quite difficult challenges for the russian troops. because our troops are set on exactly the task of maximum losses to the enemy, and by the way, the same representative of the

ministry of defense enthusiastically spoke today about the fact that we do not allow any retreat or any opportunities for the enemy to achieve any successes in this area, although the situation remains extremely difficult these challenges related to the fate of north donetsk are extremely important from the point of view that in addition to inflicting losses on the enemy, i repeat, it is necessary to choose the right moment related to ensuring the maximum preservation of the lives of our soldiers in this area. i hope that our military the leaders have a vision of the development of this situation in a positive direction. if we talk about the situation in general on the fronts, here we are now. you have paid more attention to north donetsk and sirchansky to the hottest spot on the map of hostilities, and possibly more in donetsk region. well, also the south, where the ukrainian army is e- i switched to the counter-next one, but today i started the conversation with the city, the

settlement of mykolaivka was released in the kherson region, this is right next to the water artery, so to speak, the situation in the kherson region is as of today a complete hope for the aggressor. because our counteroffensive actions already pose such a serious threat to their group, there is a certain panic because even in the russian public you can read that the ukrainians are advancing there, trying to get out, trying to get to nova kakhovka , it is better to occupy one of the few crossings and in this way cut off the group that is located between the crimean horn and kherson, that is, these are counteroffensive actions, they have a significant, let 's say, influence on the actions of the russian federation, which is forced she will also say either to keep the troops in this area or to throw in the reserves to try to push us away from the territories captured and recaptured from the enemy

, so the kherson direction is now becoming interesting and successes in this direction actually, well, it scatters the possibilities of the russian federation, children directly in donbas. by the way, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine tells what about this last settlement that was liberated by the ukrainian army, mykolaivka writes that well, first of all, there was a surprise attack by the enemy left this settlement well , panic began among the enemy, so to speak, among the ranks of the enemy, because they obviously did not expect this either. well, and the command from above, what to do next? we have, if we take it, we will also receive chemosis, then everything will go much faster pavlo lakiychuk head of security programs of the center of global studies strategy 21 in touch with us mr. pavlo i congratulate you good evening glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, i understand that we are now

let's move on to the topic and we haven't talked about it for a long time. well, it's a short but so -so week. that's right. the island is not lucky for the russian federation. it's a snake and p. sergey, please, mr. pavlo. i congratulate you . please tell me what's happening on the island of snakes, that's why it's snake-like because after a certain pause, there is such an understanding that this russian hydra has raised its head again in this part of our territory, what is happening there when we talk about snakes and that the russians want uh for a change and we need to look at uh, the northwestern part of the water area the black sea in this well, after the flooding of moscow, they did not have enough powerful means of long-range air defense in this region, which could cover the groups of their ships that block our ports, that carry out both shelling of our territory and those

that try and can carry out an amphibious operation literally two weeks ago, 2-3 weeks ago, the russians intentionally tarhun corner in the crimea - this is the westernmost point of the crimea, they placed the s300 division battery and the s4 battery, these are means of the anti-ballistic radio of the court, but they cover the water area only partially and here on the snake they are stubbornly trying to place tors, this is a medium-range sight of the order of 40 km, which complements this system of the ptu and thus should provide them with cover from

airborne metals. er, the surveillance object and the news on the snake are unambiguously located and, in principle, it is visually visible from the means of radio- electronic intelligence . many assumed that it is possible that our sailors were damaged by the snake and this ship, but i assume that this is a ship reconnaissance group. the so-called

personnel. intelligence, and this is to indicate the task of the snake, i had, if not today, the opportunity to go by the way, i still remember the repetition of the sea chernobayvka and to carry out measures to destroy those means that the enemy once again pulled up to work the rssvo system hailstorms and tornadoes are also a threat to shipping there in our only small passage between the changed and the romanian ones, so we must definitely destroy the enemy there. the more the better. thank you very much for your comments. and pavlo lakeychuk, head of security programs of the center for global studies, strategy 21, about the situation on the island of snake, what an enemy again transforms, as it were, saturates with various techniques in order not to control the situation in the north-west of the black sea water area of ​​the black sea, and what we need to be reminded about again

the traditions of the sea chernobayva and strike by the way, do you think that the harpoons will be able to fly to the snake as far as i understand, the issue with pumpkins and snake is without problems - it's a torment that the symbiosis that will be resolved in our favor but why are we talking about changes actually changes today it is used by the enemy to complicate the transport corridors that go along the black sea, and it is extremely important today that there was a publication in bloomberg, where the former admiral e.e.e. told about the fact that it is necessary to introduce a concept that provides for the protection of transport routes and civilian vessels with the help of warships, as it was implemented at the time during the arab war, when kuwait appealed to the united states so that the united states would protect those resnaft tanks that were on their way to buy the persian

gulf, so all the kuwaiti tankers were temporarily assigned to the united states, and the american fleet also provided protection for these ships, the stavridis model also offers directly and for ships that can carry grain from our ports to customers where it is there about 20 million tons of grain that can let it still need to be shipped where the code raises the question of proposing such a model and a certain coalition of states was created that could include there the question of pension turkey bulgaria, romania, which would provide security for civilian ships that will import grain from our ports at the expense of their military salaries, such a concept is proposed. i think that it can be used as a basis for a discussion on how to ensure security of our sea routes, relying not only on the capabilities of rockets-harpoon missiles well, at the

end of our conversation about military aid from our partners in ukraine, there will be more caesars and france will hand over another batch of self-propelled howitzers to our country, such aid was announced by the minister of foreign affairs of the country, katrin kolona yak just brought you to visit ukraine, during this visit she noted that she cannot publicly comment on future supplies, but in a few weeks details of these and this military aid, the head of the foreign policy department also noted that france provided 100 million euros for humanitarian aid, handed over fire engines and ambulances, and also promises 2 billion dollars for the restoration of ukraine, well, maybe they will tell us more about the money there. my colleagues who are here, so to speak, know about this help, let's talk about this, let's talk, well, first of all, why is this self-propelled howitzer needed, what is its strength, and how can it affect how can it play to our

advantage on the battlefield? well, actually, i think that already all our viewers know the importance of such a caesar howitzer for artillery, it is really the most technological in comparison even with the samples that are currently on our land, because it is a self-propelled wheeled semi-automatic howitzer and it can fire there, including with guided excalibur munitions at 60 km in the ideal version, the total number has not yet been announced, but we think that it will be within the limits of 12 e-e samples and they will be mainly used for counter-battery combat , that is, for the destruction of artillery systems enemy. and by the way, in addition to caesars, today it also became known that the czech republic will also hand over to us suzanne self-propelled howitzers, which will also work for counter-battery combat , that is, the artillery is being strengthened, but relatively speaking, we

are talking about dozens of such samples so far howitzers. and we need hundreds of them. and that's why the use of lisa's iland program and other areas of programs. when we can really receive samples of weapons by the hundreds, that is, then we will talk about a certain parity with the enemy and then about fractures in in the direction of our advantage on the battlefield, i think that it is certainly difficult to think about this flywheel of production, or do we understand that it is not only that they somehow transfer weapons, food, or that they should produce, take, for the time being, the stock in the french army is still so, but still i think that when this aid flywheel is inflated, then it will not want to stop because the right organization is directly talking about the production of new weapons, and the customer has already placed them at american enterprises, and part of the weapons that are already on their way to ukraine by sea let's finish with the worrying, because lukashenko is similar to putin in many ways, or maybe he wants to be

similar, he even wants to be a colonel like putin , i don't know if he has a colonel, i don't know if putin gave him a colonel or not, well, it's just a joke , if you're serious, putin nastya loves giving dates, as they once sang. what kind of new year is there without a date? well, nothing happens without a date, which means that it is disturbing that lukashenko plans to study in the gomel region near the border with ukraine, and that it is important to start he these studies will be. what do you think, when is june 22? do you remember that exactly 4 o'clock on june 22 ? should we expect an even greater compromise from the self-proclaimed usurper of the belarusian government? well, in fact, this direction, even the establishment of the general staff , remains one that needs attention, and i think that our military is being observed in sufficient detail by the activities that take place in

belarus, including with these mop exercises with the redeployment of those weapons that are being carried out to our border, but we also understand that neither lukashenko himself nor the army of belarus is de facto ready to conduct combat operations in view of the attitudes that prevail today in that country, and by the way, i want to say that they read periodically there in the telegram, especially different channels that describe the situation in the russian army. we can't talk there about mass, some kind of abandonment of position, mass riots, there is something else. well, but people write about that, well, there they are intercepting conversations, certain people are writing that somewhere there, a whole artillery battery has given up on continuing the fight because they don't want to come under fire, that means there the commander pulls out a pistol, some guy takes out a grenade and says shoot now, we will all explode here together well, maybe it's the general coming with pistols he is trying to force me, because at first i will not believe that the general, i think i did not hear the general came to sign.

well, maybe the general passed, but here the situation is such that really, well, everyone perfectly understands that it is possible somewhere and you can survive and you can not survive and this understanding is passing more and more and if even you survive but remain without legs, remember this photo when sitting means a russian military man and holding 10,000 10,000 russian rubles 5 for each leg 5,000 rubles that's how russia thanks for the aggression for going to war, so what if we have 30 seconds, we will say goodbye slowly. thank you for being with us during these two hours. tomorrow i will meet with you at 12:10 in the worldview project. i will talk with the novel petrovich the immortal . uh, it's already here in the evening, we will meet with serhiy zgurts with you also at 19:00, 15:00, i wish you a good evening. take care, and now for your attention, a news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of bbc news one . good evening. we are from ukraine. the ukrainian

military conducts the counteroffensive in the kherson region is the 96th day of russia's war against ukraine about the main events
