resistance to the russian occupation. jabaiden announced that the united states of america will provide ukraine with modern missiles for defense 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, on the evening of june 1, putin's troops shelled lviv region, launched a missile attack from the black sea, the invaders hit railway crossings, the invaders 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 with the beginning of the great war russia has already lost in ukraine has 30,850 people, 1,363 tanks, 3,354 armored combat vehicles, 661 artillery systems, 207

rocket launchers, 95 anti- aircraft defense systems, 210 aircraft, 175 helicopters , 2,325 vehicles, 13 boats, 120 cruise missiles, 521 drones, 51 units of special equipment, and 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 are discussed today with a colonel of the security service of ukraine, a people's deputy of ukraine a participant in the russian-ukrainian war by roman kostenko slava ukraine p romane from the united states of america high mers multiple-launch rocket systems with a range of up to 80 km will allow the ukrainian army to fight against russian long-range artillery

on the most equal terms weapons that will change the situation on the eastern and southern fronts and whether it will change the situation well, looking at the uh, what will be the number of these weapons if this number will be sufficient and let's say so big, of course, it will change. if we talk about some divisions there, it will be, let's say , it will help to hold those defensive lines that we are now entrenched and holding, we see that recently we have practically stopped the enemy on the at the borders and already almost there, i think about a month and a half, the practical russian federation cannot move, only has some local successes in the east, in the east, yes, they are advancing. they are trying to know how to surround us, but looking at that what kind of army is this?

do they have resources, what statements did they have, what plans did they have, so these are local successes that they are trying to implement with their entire army in one ukrainian region, so, well, let's say yes, we need these weapons very much, and in order to bring the enemy to the entire 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 in the suburbs of moscow called 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 eh but in the last few days, these threats have not been more aggressive. well, i'm sure that it was not said that they can strike the united states. i think in moscow they are even afraid to think about the fact that something can be done in on the part of the united states, especially to strike at the decision-making center, 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 hints that they will somehow help, perhaps, some third countries, in the interests of which the united states has interests, and that is exactly what it is threatening to attack the united states of, of course . this cannot be the case. the russian federation cannot even threaten the united states with that. and in russia they understand this, of course they don't want the united states to give us weapons, but the united states is giving us these weapons now. why is this the main issue to do everything so that they give us a larger amount of these weapons ? that's all the united states has not yet completely opened its landlist, which we were counting on, and i was just thinking about english when this question was signed, that now there are large numbers of sufficient numbers of sit-sit-sit, for example, experts,

if we talk about landlist, understand and count that of 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 equipment, it must be added so much. if we are talking about the offensive, we need a certain number for deterrence, there are five divisions , for example, there are 777s and there are 10 divisions of hypers. uh, they uh, they argue when they send this equipment , they talk about small amounts of uh, i don’t know , but the weapons are not enough so far, with the help of the weapons that we have in order to deter the enemy, but we can see that not even on all the participants that we are pushed in the east, of course there e the enemy simply has a large number of his victims

and is trying to push us into frontal attacks by throwing his troops, we cannot do that, but now even with the help of the equipment we have, we refrain from talking about offensives. hmm, it is too early because we 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 to come to advanced positions will be ironed out by artillery from morning to evening. hailstorms, tulips, mlrs of various e-e plans, 152 artillery. well, it’s just covered from morning to evening. i just wanted an infantryman who could easily pass it in order to let the artillery pass. excuse me, we need to destroy

them first forces and means for this, and equipment is needed, and what will come is this understanding: in a modern war, you cannot fight with one infantry. well, it simply will not win, no matter how motivated people we have, no matter how hardened they are. well against artillery, our task is not to cover the ukrainian fields with 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 these weapons . the waters of the black sea, the lviv oblast and along the railway junctions, trying in this way to damage these ways of supplying these weapons. block all channels of arms supply to ukraine without going into details eh no absolutely no,

thank god we have a bad thing that we have large borders with our enemies that is with belarus and the russian federation yes with belarus 1080 and with russia there are about 3 000 but thank god we still have borders with the normal civilized world and they are also quite large and through which we can bring weapons here when russia was coming 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 will take it completely dominance in the air, even er dominance , superiority and air balance, 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, so it did not work out, we were completely wrong, we destroyed a large part of them with our air defense and now they they are afraid to fly, that's why in some areas, yes, it's really important that they have a slight advantage in some areas , we have an advantage, but basically, i think that in general

, we have such parity in aviation, it 's nonsense, no one expected it thought that russia, with the help of its aircraft and aviation, would simply destroy the entire aircraft and aviation system of ukraine, the ukrainian armed forces resisted and now clearly hold the ukrainian sky, not giving the opportunity to take it away from us, control over it this is the first, the second, this is exactly what i think, and our other units that stand the possibility of large borders, er, let’s say a normal attitude towards us. almost all the border countries . gives the opportunity to say no one and not even two and not 10 channels how much can it cost to get to ukraine this is also a big plus and it once again shows how important it is to be in some kind of

union or some commonwealth, this is about the future because at least have an understanding that these people the western world supports us and helps us, because we should have provided weapons, er, these western weapons need to be transferred somehow. i think that the russian federation is now its fsb and er game and er foreign intelligence service. i think it is aimed completely at everything borders is aimed at all countries in order to e identify the supply routes, the time of the supply of weapons to europe, then the time of this supply and the place of supply of weapons in ukraine, then their movement to separate borders, where they will be carried from, where they will be fired, in order to destroy them, but looking at the fact that the weapons fall on the positions i i can see how it works, it works effectively, as below , the enemy says that we are working effectively and are able to

deliver this weapon to the position. that germany is ready to provide ukraine with modern air defense systems to protect an entire large city from russian air and missile strikes, this is what ukraine itself and the ukrainian leadership have been saying . to break this balance and not 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, what is it related to in your opinion the current position of germany, which refrains from providing weapons to ukraine, is difficult to say, but i will say that germany, as a country that has always been considered the leader

of the european union and the founder of one of the founders of the european union, has greatly discredited itself with such behavior because they positioned themselves as a leader as a regional leader, an economic leader, i say once again, the founder of the european union, along with france, britain before it, how they had brexit, and they behaved like this when they attacked a country that, too, is the same, well, it is completely responds, let's say, with this values ​​and goes to those pro-european values ​​that build a democracy there, maybe not everything works out right away, but everyone has gone through this path and we are building it in our constitution. how will the circumstances develop? well , in my opinion, this is a crime or cowardice, and now we

see more only statements than concrete transfers to the most developed country with a strong army, strong weapons, constantly uh, someone banned the transfer of those weapons. we remember switzerland there. we remember how germany blocked us when we made purchases even before the war. well, before this large-scale invasion, until february 24, 10 anti-drone guns were purchased, even these are not lethal weapons, if all then they smeared themselves with lethal weapons so that they would not be provided in ukraine to fight against russia and everyone allowed well, what is it? well, just so that the program adjusted the gunners, they blocked it for us, this says a lot. once again, they say themselves discredited. i don't know what it took for all european countries to look and be sure that if they were attacked, germany would take their side and not their side, you understand. i'm not saying that they took russia's side, but they are completely on our side did not become by the way, former chancellor of germany anglo merkel

spoke for the first time since february 24 that before russia's war in ukraine , she said that she was in solidarity with ukraine , which was attacked by russia, i support the right to self-defense, although we throughout the entire period of 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 ot now there is such a position, we uh, during the last month or two, we talked about several meetings with the participation of ministers of defense 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 to ukraine online, how do you, colonel, assess

the existence of this anti-putin front or this the front can do much more than it is doing or is it doing enough or is it enough for ukraine do we need more help and maybe for this we need more articulation uh exactly the problem that arises uh education with putin and not ukraine with putin i after that er, i spoke with the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, i also had a conversation 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 historic meeting is like this, yes, to their country, they have shown their support for ukraine, but from my point of view, well, i'm on the front

line, i can see now what kind of weapons i can see what's a what is it with such a scale of the meeting, it is realistic when all the countries are there, all the ministers of defense are there, and what do we have? i am not saying that we do not have anything there, but we could have much more, and i think that the balance of forces would be different if these countries understood what needs to be done for us more than for 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, he would have completely changed his schedule in europe and all over the world also because it was a 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 transition from the development of some social issues of the economy and the private sector back to military rails, because this threat loomed over all over europe, those countries that were previously part of the warsaw pact and which were under the occupation of the soviet union, they were under the sights of er persons and again, i think, went to negotiate in the same way as they once negotiated for poland, as they once negotiated for czechoslovakia, i presented hitler with languages ​​and we went along in the next circle, let's remember that the second world war was born by the silence of many large countries in the 40s of the last century, when, well, let it take, let's take it, let 's close our eyes here, if only it hadn't been after the war, we remember how they waved this uh-uh treaty. when minister chamberlain came back to uh-uh in britain and told everyone that i concluded peace and then we got the second world war, now we

are going down that path, everyone must understand that now this regime must be killed but for relatives , we can defeat putin only by military means, not like negotiations, any negotiations, this is a truce for several years and a more global war, because they will learn from their mistakes, i'll tell you. there are fighters on the front line now. i think in i talk to my comrades, these are not the same soldiers who were in action three months ago, who, with such eyes, did not know what to do, surrendered to him as prisoners and abandoned their equipment . the guys also learned that they used to transmit some simple information over the phone, now the member is not happening, everything is coded, everything is closed, they are working clearly, they must be working clearly, the artillery is changing positions, they are moving , they are retreating, they are covering themselves with a tank, that is, they they have clearly fired the fire system, the 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 that several divisions or several units of some kind of weapon are being poisoned now, but of course everyone must understand that in order for ukraine won. and with her, the whole world, we need more heavy weapons, because it’s easy to give up, we won’t give you anything, come to an agreement, but in six months, when, if we, someone will have to negotiate, all the other countries have already value the territories of the countries of eastern europe or some other or somewhere in the middle east. that is why everything is being decided here. if we talk about the third world war, i believe that it is already underway because it has already begun because, for example, if we are talking about a war zone, it is now recognized that e combat zone can be not only on the battlefields with the combat zone is already recognized space is already possible to shoot down missiles satellites e-e there is well it is already cyberspace is

also already recognized e-e area well where they can conduct hostilities and that's it it is being conducted if only now ukraine is fighting in the fields, but there is also happening 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 in the future. these are the hostilities. oil seal, therefore, from my point of view, the third world war has begun, and now it depends on the whole world, it will spread to other regions and other countries, ukraine is holding on, so let's, uh, knock out the enemy, from here we will solve our historical questions once and for all let's establish ourselves as an independent state with in the great future, we will return our historical ones, we will not take them away, or this historical one, we will return ours, and we will continue to live and work, and russia will show me my place, mr. colonel, yesterday, the head of the kherson

regional military administration, gennady laguta , announced the liberation of 20 settlements 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 are drawing attention to the moment that russian troops blew up the pontoon bridges built by the ukrainians across the ingulets river in the south and ukrainian forces remain quite close to the 22nd road that supplies the russian group in the northeast of the kherson region. i know that you have a good command of the situation in the south on the southern front. the military is 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 how long it took is it for the whole war or recently, because we only spoke about it, uh, i can’t comment on this situation

recently, let’s say yes, i haven’t seen 23 liberated and further from 10 liberated settlements in uh, kherson region, we have local battles on the contact line, really they go, we have them there . in some directions, all together, where there are none. well, what is the specifics of this war? for those who, due to long-range artillery, sometimes all are formed together, and where there are no troops, not enemy troops, and these gray zones can often be maneuvered this is done by the enemies, this is done by our troops to occupy better positions there for defense or to create a position for a further offensive, so what is now called a counteroffensive, give something like a global word counteroffensive or offensive operation and first of all these are local battles in these gray zones on these directions for some individual population points back 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 continental, first of all because a counteroffensive is carried out when there is an enemy offensive, namely an attack on some local exits . and what we are seeing now, once again i say local hostilities, yes, they are of a tougher nature than it was there a week or two ago, our troops are conducting serious battles the best positions have been taken, one might say, in some directions strategically important, well, strategically 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 forces, combat capability, create normal conditions and go on the offensive, that's why the battles are going on, our soldiers are fighting and are not standing still , this is not a

counteroffensive , i'm saying it again. forward in the future to create the conditions for what the enemy is doing. the same thing is being scouted, sabotage groups are trying to penetrate our defenses in order to simply look for weak points and also small groups sometimes try to probe the defense. well, their artillery will iron into us morning to evening. well, of course we try to answer. well, i think that this war will be called a missile-artillery war. because here now everything is decided by artillery, and well , we don't have missile troops, let's say rocket weapons and artillery, and then the aviation comes. and all the other councils troops, they are very important. each at its own stage. but if there was no artillery, it would have been different for the crossing of the siverskyi donets. russia may need a pause in

the offensive. now the situation is quite difficult, uh, around severodonetsk, british intelligence this morning er writes that russia controls most of severodonetsk and continues to capture the territory thanks to powerful artillery support, that is what is happening around severodonetsk, that is, they are trying to control and reach the borders of the luhansk region. we know that putin er ordered them to do this until june 1, today, the second of june, now the british are talking about the fact that in order to cross the siverskyi donets in the area of ​​e lysychansk, it will be necessary to make a certain pause, and this pause may provide an opportunity to the ukrainian troops to inflict greater defeat and losses on the russian federation. what is

happening around severodonetsk and in severodonetsk itself, russia really wants to seize. well, i think that their main task was to seize 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, to prepare for victory day, now they have a question that ukraine is putting up strong resistance, in particular, in the donbass, where they are gathered well, serious forces and means, but the enemy is massively pushing through our defenses with the help of their equipment , they really entered the city and the fighting is already going on outside the city of severodonetsk, the russians tried to bypass the populated areas before, but here they clearly left . i think that they really want to capture all of luhansk oblast or make a statement and do you remember the time there, even there today, the

luhansk people's republic was liberated there in all their administrative borders. for this they do everything and then move to the donetsk e-e oblast what hasn't changed since the second world war, er, the russians haven't developed, er, you can feed them this propaganda, which they eat, which they use, that's why fierce battles are going on, our military is fighting here, even now, it's very important that our commanders did you understand er, we can really say unpopular things er, to what extent we have the opportunity to contain him and for this we need to forecast and the most important thing is not to get into the environment and that we are trying to save ourselves there or someone there did not want to just give up to show to the people that we hold it until the end and then after that we find ourselves surrounded, it is possible that there is an opportunity for a while, it is better to leave and

keep the equipment that would give us the opportunity to defend ourselves on other fronts and not break through the enemy and somehow preserve -e personnel, but i say it once again, the commanders must see it on the ground in order to get me surrounded there and they couldn't get one more, then the guys just pulled out on the ground they can see me better here, you know , it's possible to talk about severodonetsk from nikolaev i say that if i would consider any decision, for example, i am the commanders, let them look, but it is very important that the boys are not captured.
