the unconquered cities of ukraine are cozy and comfortable kharkiv, a city of students of science and industry, a city that has been repeatedly attacked by tatars since ancient times, passed both into the hands of the bolshevik invaders and gave it to the german fascists, but kharkiv led and kept ukraine in its heart

then and now kharkiv unconquered glory to ukraine this is the verdict program, my name is serhiy rudenko . good day and good health to all. today is the 99th day of heroic ukrainian resistance to the russian occupation. jabaiden announced that the united states the americans will provide ukraine with modern missiles from and to protect against the russian federation, meanwhile, russia controls most of severodonetsk and continues to capture the territory thanks to powerful artillery support, according to the morning intelligence report of great britain. at railway crossings, the occupiers also continue to shell sumy region, chernihiv region, kharkiv region,

mykolaiv region, and at the same time, the occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment since the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 30,850 people, 1,363 tanks, 3,354 armored combat vehicles, 661 artillery systems, 207 rocket salvo systems, 95 anti-aircraft defenses, 210 aircraft, 175 helicopters, 2,325 units of automotive equipment, 13 ships, boats, 120 cruise missiles, 521 drone 51 units of special equipment about the situation on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine, the latest weapons from the united states of america and their role in the war, we are talking today with the colonel of the security service people's deputy of ukraine, a participant in the russian-ukrainian war, a novel with a bone,

glory to ukraine, mr. roman, glory to the heroes, congratulations. thank you for agreeing to participate in our program . the decision has already been announced to supply from the united states of america - the high mers multiple-launch rocket systems with a range of up to 80 km will allow the ukrainian army on the most equal terms fight against russian long-range artillery. this is what the americans are talking about. roman, how will the arrival of these weapons change the situation on the eastern and southern fronts, and will it change the situation? well, looking at how many of

these weapons there will be. if we are talking about some er several divisions, it will er let's say that it will help to hold those er defensive lines that we are now entrenched and holding, we see that lately we have practically stopped the enemy on the er borders and already almost there. i think for about a month and a half, the practical russian federation cannot move, it only has some local successes in the east, in the east, yes, they are advancing. they are trying to know how to encircle us, but looking at what kind of army is this, what resources do they have, what statements did they have, what plans did they have, what are the local successes that they are trying to implement with their entire army in one ukrainian region , so uh, let's say yes, we need uh, we need these weapons

very much in order to take out the enemy to the full depth, but a large amount of it is needed in order to destroy the amount of russian artillery equipment that they have. moscow reacts quite painfully to the information about the supply of long-range weapons from the united states of america. deputy secretary of the security council of the russian federation dmitry medvedev says that they say they can retaliate against decision-making centers and, as medvedev said, including those centers that are not located in ukraine, alluding to the united states of america, moscow has already announced a series of strategic nuclear exercises near moscow, designed to remind the west what is at stake . what do you think about this game on the part of the russian federation ? can it affect the position of washington and other western countries, because these threats have been heard since

the beginning of the war, but in the last few days these the threats are more aggressive. well , i'm sure it wasn't said that they could strike the united states. i think in moscow they're afraid to even think about the possibility of doing something to the united states. especially to strike at the center of decision-making, well, first of all, this is the third world war and it is not a fact that the russian federation will win in it because, as they say, when it is a nuclear war, i mean, therefore, the russian federation, i think it hints on the fact that they will somehow help, perhaps, some third countries, in the interests of which the united states has interests, and this is exactly what the united states is threatening to do, of course,

the russian federation cannot even threaten to do so can not both the united states and russia understand this, of course they don't want the united states to give us weapons, but the united states gives us these weapons, now our main issue is to do everything so that they give us a larger number of these weapons because, after all, the united states has not fully opened its lindlis, which we were counting on, and i was just thinking about english when this issue was signed, that now in large quantities, sufficient quantities are sitting - sitting - sitting , for example, experts if we speak about the landlist, they understand and calculate that the russian federation, for example, in the direction of the offensive in the south, there is a certain amount of such equipment, such equipment, such equipment, in order to deter the enemy, there should be such and such a number of equipment from

them, we already have such, we need to add so much if we are talking about an offensive is necessary for deterrence, a certain number of five divisions there, for example , eh, and a 777, and there are 10 divisions of hypers. argues that when they send this equipment, they talk about small amounts of it. i don’t know, but there are not enough weapons so far, with the help of these weapons that we have in order to deter the enemy, but even not on all the participants, we see that we are being pushed on in the east, of course, the enemy is there, simply because of the large number of his victims, he is trying to push us, simply, in frontal attacks, throwing his troops, uh, we can’t do that , but now, even with the help of the equipment we have, we refrain from talking about offensives. it's too early because we need to accumulate strength and we need to accumulate

equipment, because it is impossible to win in a modern war , it is simply by the soldiers themselves, we have a lot of mobilized soldiers, we need to arm them with something, but i will tell you honestly, on my own, almost every day you try, you arrive at the front positions from morning to evening iron artillery hailstorms hurricanes cash tulips e-e mlrs of various e-e plans 152 artillery well, it’s just e-e blocking from morning to evening, i just wanted infantrymen who could just pass it in order to let the artillery pass. excuse me, let’s go it is necessary to first destroy their forces and means for this, and equipment is needed, and what will come is the understanding that in a modern war, you cannot fight with infantry alone. well, it simply will not win, no matter how motivated we have people, no matter how hardened they are. well, against artillery, our tasks the ukrainian field is not covered by ukrainian soldiers

, the task is to win and we must be realists, not russians. well, when we talk about the supply of western weapons on the territory of ukraine, of course the enemy also understands this and understands the ways of supplying this of weapons last day, the enemy shelled lviv oblast from the black sea area and hit railway junctions in an attempt to damage these weapons supply routes, so tell me professionally, that is, can russia do everything to block all arms supply channels to ukraine? going into the details, no, absolutely no , thank god, it is bad that we have large borders with our enemies, that is, with belarus and the russian federation. yes, with belarus in 180 and with russia, there are about three thousand but thank god there are also borders with the normal civilized world, and

they are also quite large, and through which we can bring weapons here. when russia came here to attack us there, in addition to the fact that they were going to seize it in three days, they had a plan that they would completely take dominance in the air, even dominance, superiority and balance in the air, but they calculated that there would not even be a balance, there would not even be an advantage, that they would have a full economy, yes and no, then moving it to separate borders where it would be conducted from where to conduct fire in order to destroy them, but looking at the fact that the weapons fall into positions, i myself see that they are working, they are working effectively, as below, the enemy says that we are working effectively and are able to deliver these weapons to the position, by the way, about anti- aircraft defense to the colonel, the federal chancellor of germany, olafshol, said

that germany is ready to provide ukraine with modern air defense systems to protect an entire large city from russian air and missile attacks, this is what ukraine itself and the ukrainian leadership were talking about during the last three months, observing the behavior of germany, which is quite cautious about providing weapons to ukraine in order not to disturb this balance and not to create conditions under which the ukrainian army will receive weapons that will allow not only to drive the russians out of the ukrainian state, but maybe a little further from what do you think is the connection with the current position of germany, which refrains from providing weapons to ukraine? it is difficult to say, but i will say that germany, as a country that has always been considered the leader of the european she discredited the union very much with this behavior because they positioned themselves as a leader, as a

regional leader, as an economic leader, i say again, the founder of the european union, along with france, britain, before she, as they had brexit, and they behaved like this when they attacked a country that, er, also er, well, it fully corresponds to these values, let's say, and goes to those pro-european values, which is building a democracy there, maybe not everything will work out at once, but everyone has gone through this path and we are building it there in it is written in the constitution to turn away when the totalitarian world er attacked this country and to turn away and there or wait to see how the circumstances will develop . the most developed country with a strong army

strong strong weapons constantly someone forbade them to transfer those weapons we remember there switzerland we remember how germany blocked us when we made purchases for the war well before this large-scale invasion by february 24, 10 anti-drone cannons were purchased, even this is not a lethal weapon, if everyone then was smeared with lethal weapons so that ukraine would not provide them to fight against russia, then everyone allowed it. i say once again that they have discredited themselves. i don't know what needs to be done so that now all european countries will look and be sure that if they are attacked, germany will take their side and not their side, you understand. i am not saying that they took russia's side but they did not completely side with us. by the way, the former chancellor of germany, anglo merkel , spoke for the first time since february 24 about russia's war in ukraine. she said that she is in solidarity with ukraine

, which was attacked by russia. i support the right to self-defense, although we throughout the entire period the war , the war that started in 2014, we saw how angela merkel tried to somehow come to an agreement with putin, or at least to arrange peace talks with putin, and now there is such a position, we, uh, for the last month or two, we have been talking about several e-meetings with the participation of the defense ministers of more than 40 countries of the world, who first met at the rammstein air base in germany and then discussed the future and help and assistance to ukraine online. colonel, how do you assess the existence of this anti-putin front or can this front do much more than he does

or does he do enough or is it enough for ukraine do we need more help and maybe for this we need more articulation of the problem that arises education with putin and not of ukraine with putin, after that i spoke with the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, i also talked about this meeting, he said that they organized the greatest support for us there and everyone was ready to help right there and there were questions about exactly which weapons countries can help us, let's say so, i think the historical meeting is like this, yes, to their country, they have shown their support for ukraine, but from my point of view, well, i am on the front line, i see these types of weapons now, i see that there is a what would happen with such a scale of the meeting, but realistically,

when all the defense ministers of all the countries sat there, and what do we have ? the countries understood what needs to be done for us, so that their soldiers do not die tomorrow, i will say that the fact that putin did not go further is entirely the merit of the ukrainian army, we stopped him and if he went further, the schedule would have completely changed in europe and in everything world also because it would be the new russia russia with victory, which in a few days or weeks captured the largest state in terms of territory in europe, and all of europe had to completely switch from the intelligence of some social issues of the economy and the private sector back to military rails, because this threat loomed over the

whole of europe the countries that were previously part of the warsaw pact and that were under the occupation of the soviet union, they were targeted by this person and again, i think, went to negotiate in the same way as they once negotiated for poland, as they once did we negotiated for czechoslovakia, gave speeches to hitler and we went in the next circle, we remember that we gave birth to the second world war, this is the training of many large countries in the 40s of the last century, when, well, take it, take it, take it, let 's close it here eyes if only there was no war, then we remember how they waved this treaty. when the example came back, the minister of chamberlain in britain told everyone that i had concluded peace and then we got the second world war , but now we are walking on that path, everyone must understand that now this regime needs to be killed, but for relatives, we can

defeat putin only by military means, no negotiations, any negotiations , this is a truce for several years and a more global war, because they will learn from their mistakes, i will tell you, here they are on the front line now fighters, i think in north donetsk, too, i talk to my comrades, these are no longer the same soldiers who were involved three months ago, who, with such uh eyes, did not know what to do, seemed to be captured and threw away equipment. no, now people who learned just as our guys learned, and they learned that they used to transmit some simple information over the phone, now the members are everything is coded, everything is closed, the fish are working clearly, the artillery is working clearly, the artillery is changing positions, moving, rolling back, covering themselves with a tank, that is, they have already fired the fire system clearly and clearly defense system and now it will be much more difficult, therefore, the means to defeat them need to be much stronger and not just there, well, let's say several divisions or several units of some kind of weapon now

poison, but of course everyone must understand that in order for ukraine to win, and with it the whole world, we need more heavy weapons, because it is not easy to refuse and say we will not give you anything, come to an agreement, but in six months, when will the territories of eastern european countries or of some other or somewhere in the middle east therefore, now everything is decided here if we talk about the third world, i believe that it is already underway because it has already started because uh, for example, if we are talking about a war zone, it is now recognized that uh is a war zone may to be not only on the battlefields, the battle of hostilities has already been recognized in space, it is already possible to shoot down rockets, satellites, yes, there is, well, this is cyberspace , too, and it has already been recognized, yes, the area, well, where they can conduct hostilities and all this is being done. if now only ukraine would it's happening in the fields there and in syria right now. well, all the other countries are

fighting each other in cyberspace and in space, and everyone is already involved, and now the question is whether they will be able to disperse further. these hostilities are lethal. from my point of view, the third world began and from the whole world now clearly depends on it, it will spread to other regions and other countries, ukraine is holding on, so let's eliminate the enemy from here, we will solve our historical issues and once and for all establish ourselves as an independent state with a great future, we will return our historical we will take someone else's and historically we will return our own and then we will live and work and we will show russia its place in me, colonel, yesterday the head of the kherson regional military administration, gennadiy laguta , announced the liberation of 20 settlements in as a result of the offensive of the ukrainian army, at the same time, in the daily analysis of the washington institute for the study of war, attention is being drawn to the moment that

russian troops blew up the pontoon bridges over the ingulets river in the south and er ukrainian forces remain quite close to the road that 22:05 the russian group on the northern in the east of the kherson region. i know that you are in control of the situation. you are in good control of the situation in the south, on the southern front. they are trying to dislodge or break up the group that is now in the kherson region, they are talking about 20 liberated settlements for the second time. i would just like to know for what period of time this is during the whole war or recently, because we only spoke about it, hmm, i can't comment this situation and lately, let's say so, i have not seen 23 liberated and so on from 10 liberated settlements in e kherson region, we have local battles on the contact line, they are really

going on, we have them there in some directions, all together where there is no well, what was the specifics of this war for those before due to long-range artillery sometimes all are formed together and where there are no troops of ours not troops of the enemy and this gray zone can often be maneuvered it is done by the enemies and it is done by ours and he said for e-e occupying better positions there for defense or to create a position for a further offensive, yes, what is now called a counteroffensive, yes, what is the global word counteroffensive or an offensive operation, and, first of all, these are local battles in these gray zones on these directions for some individual population points in order to occupy better positions and create conditions for possible in the future, when we have the opportunity to move to the next one, we cannot call it a continent, first of all, because the counteroffensive is carried out when there is an attack by the enemy, namely an attack on

some local exits a what we see now, once again i say local hostilities, yes, they are more severe than what was there a week or two ago, our troops are fighting seriously in some directions, strategically important for this particular direction, not on the scale of hostilities in general, strategically important positions that will give us the opportunity, for example, in the future, when we gain strength, er, fighting capacity, hmm, er, create normal conditions and go on the offensive, that's why the battles go on, er our military is fighting and not standing still, the active phase of hostilities is not a counteroffensive, i say it again, it is active. his subversive groups are trying to penetrate

our defenses in order to, uh, just look for weak points, and also small groups of him there are also sometimes trying to probe the defenses. well, their artillery will be ironed out in the morning until the evening. well, of course, we try to respond. well, i think that this war will be called missile artillery because everything is decided here now by artillery, and well , we don’t have missile troops, let’s say missile weapons and artillery, and then comes the aviation. well, and all other military councils, they are very important for everyone but if there was probably no artillery, it would have been different for russia to cross the siverskyi donets. russia may need a pause in the offensive. now the situation is quite difficult around severodonetsk. british intelligence this morning writes that russia controls most of

severodonetsk and continues to capture territory thanks to powerful artillery support, that is what is happening around severodonetsk, that is, they are trying to control and go to the borders of the luhansk region. we know that putin ordered they have to do it by june 1, today is the second of june, now the british are talking about the fact that in order to cross the siverskyi donets in the area of ​​lysychansk, they will have to make a certain pause, and this pause may give the ukrainian troops the opportunity to inflict greater defeat and losses on the russian federation what is happening right now around severodonetsk and in severodonetsk itself, and russia really wants to capture it well, i think that their main task was to capture the entire donbas by may 9

, but they did not succeed. i think from the very beginning the tasks were completely different, that is to capture all of ukraine in a few days and then to celebrate and prepare for victory day, now they have a problem with the fact that ukraine is putting up strong resistance, in particular, in the donbass, there they have gathered serious forces and means, but the enemy is massively with the help of of his equipment is pushing through our defenses, he entered the city and the fighting is already going on outside the city of severodonetsk, the russians used to try to bypass populated areas, but here they clearly left. i think that they want to take over the whole luhansk region or do statement and do you remember there, the levitan of his time, still there today, the luhansk people's republic was liberated there, all their administrative borders. for this, they do everything, and then move to the donetsk o-e region, what hasn't changed since the second world war e-e the

russians have not developed, they can be fed this propaganda that they eat and use, that's why they go to hellish battles, our soldiers are fighting and here, well, now it's very important that our commanders understand eh, really, let's say popular things eh how much we have the opportunity to hold him, and for this we need to predict. and the most important thing is not to get into the environment and that we are trying to save ourselves or someone there does not want to just give up and not show people that we are holding him until the end and then after to be surrounded by this may give an opportunity for a while, it is better to withdraw and preserve the equipment that gave us the opportunity to defend on other fronts and not break through the enemy and somehow preserve the personnel, but
