in fact, it cannot fight with the whole world , right now, right now, they are talking about the start of negotiations with ukraine, just as an echo of the understanding that in fact there are risks for the loss of the russian federation, and now all these negotiations are actually necessary attempts to negotiate should simply be cut off and the russians should not be given the opportunity to pull the trigger at the beginning of the war . we should start saying no. colleague of the co-intelligence expert defense express i will meet with you tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. i will have a broadcast with serhii seichko and now for your attention bbc not from ukraine let's watch together 100 days of war in ukraine 100 days of continuous fighting 100 days from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia in on the bbc broadcast, we analyze what happened at the front and what forecasts

what to expect next ukrainian armed forces proved themselves in battles of strategic importance, we recall the key events of the 1,000 km long front, what weapons are needed by the ukrainian army to fight back the russian offensive and when we have ukrainian food, some countries in the world are threatened with starvation. russia blocks ports and exports stolen grain . if in the first days of the russian attack, the west predicted the inevitability of the fall of kyiv in a matter of days and the capture of ukraine in a matter of weeks, then after three months of war, some western leaders begin to talk about the inevitability of the ukrainian victory kyiv

has withstood ukraine has withstood the ukrainian armed forces have been restraining russian aggression for the fourth month, while russia, after the failed bali ic, now has concentrated its forces in donbas and is trying to seize the entire region ukraine has secured the support of western countries from them it receives powerful weapons that can radically change the situation at the front and is one of the key allies of ukraine the united states, like the united states, is ready to support ukraine in the future, the bbc join wot correspondent found out the battle for severodonetsk does not seem to be finished yet, and it is increasingly difficult for you to get a clear picture of what is happening there, despite the fact that the fighting is still going on , the regional governor admits that the city does not seem to be to hold the main thing for us is not to win the battle for north donetsk, for us the main thing is to win the war as a whole, but unfortunately, it so happened that the luhansk region, well

, such a fate fell to us is very, very difficult . now they are waiting for the chimeras long- range rocket artillery here you can often hear it can change the course of the war spoke it is transmitted the united states , the newly appointed american ambassador has already met with president zelenskyi and then with journalists bridget breen is giving her first interview to the bbc. it is also strengthening the ukrainians at the negotiating table. this helps to improve the situation for ukraine, because at some point there will be ways to end this conflict. i believe that this is a significant success that the ukrainians managed to achieve. nato to

finland and sweden have applied to join the military alliance, will ukraine be able to follow the same path ukraine must ultimately decide what it wants in the future, then in the process of negotiations on the leadership of nato countries will make the appropriate decision, do you support it if such a choice arises? i believe that we are in a very good position. now we must help ukraine win the war. slavyansk and so far one civilian has managed to escape , those who remain face an uncertain future and the first 100 days of the war have shown that the ukrainian army is capable of successfully defending itself and even

to attack the enemy's significant advantages in armed manpower as of the beginning of june, the armed forces of ukraine forced the russian troops to retreat along the entire line of the northern border ; by the way, let's start with the battle for the north and the defense of kyiv, that's how the ukrainian military managed to oust the russians from the kyiv region of the chernihiv region in the first month, well, actually when the russians were retreating from the territory of ukraine along the entire line of the northern front. they said that it was such a gesture of goodwill, but all the experts we spoke with and the statements of western leaders also testify that ukraine won this battle for kiev and for the north and it was very difficult to do because the forces of the russians prevailed, there was an effect of surprise because, as the ukrainian authorities

admitted, they did not expect that the attack would come from the territory of belarus, and thanks to this, the russian troops in the northwest had to almost close to the capital, and despite this, the ukrainian military was able to hold back the offensive, give time for the ukrainian authorities to raise resources, agree on western assistance from partners, and then they carried out a successful counteroffensive and pushed back the troops , and this is very important. victory in this battle and this is not yet a victory in the entire war but it is definitely not a defeat because if the russians, as they planned, managed to take the capital in a matter of days, it would probably be a loss for ukraine in this war and especially the experts they note the role of chernigov itself, because this city was the first to take the hit and it suffered very badly, it was actually surrounded and despite

the fact that the city did not surrender, the defenders of the city held it and did not let the russians go further to kyiv, that is, the russians were actually stuck there and saved therefore kyiv because the situation in the capital would have been much more difficult if it had been possible to approach the capital from the chernihiv direction in a shelter, at the same time in the south russian forces captured the azov region and almost the entire kherson region was kept in the blockade of mariupol here how do the military experts with whom you spoke assess the situation in the south? what did they say? actually, in the south, the situation for ukraine is the most difficult. it is really occupied by a very large part of the territory and even mariupol, which resisted for a very long time now under the control of the russians, but even in spite of this, the military experts rate it very highly. the actions of the ukrainian military precisely in mariupol eh well, first of all, because they defenders of mariupol have become such a certain symbol, of course, for ukraine, such a symbol of indomitable heroism ah, but from a military point of view

point of view. this is a very, very important story because er ukrainian armed forces in mariupol were able to draw back a huge number of forces of the russian er russian army and this completely broke russia's plans in the south because the russians planned to quickly capture mariupol, capture zaporozhye and make a big the cauldron to completely surround all the most combat-capable units of the ukrainian army in the donbas in such a large cauldron, and it is the resistance in the field that is desperate and very long. he completely broke these plans, he did not allow it to be done ukraine was able to pull up the forces to build a line of defense , and in this way. now we can say that zaporizhzhia probably will not be able to take the big cauldron, probably it will not be possible to do it either, but there remains a threat from the black sea, and here one of the strategic and symbolic victories of ukraine was the

sinking of the russian cruiser moscow here's how it affected the course of the war. it's actually interesting that experts unequivocally rate the actions of the ukrainian armed forces very highly, especially in the black sea basin, well , first of all, because ukraine actually has no of its own fleet and the forces of the russians are very much outnumbered there, and even in spite of this, uh, ukraine uh, carries out such quite effective operations, strikes, this sinking of the great amphibious assault ship saratov and of course the sinking of the cruiser moscow and not only because it is very expensive er, a cruiser with a powerful air defense system with a large number of missiles , er, first of all, this is such a symbolic victory because it is the first time since the russo-japanese war, and russia has lost its flagship ship, er, this is a great symbolic victory, it is a victory in information war because, despite all attempts, the

russian side could not hide the fact that ukraine sunk the ship, and of course, this is also what the experts are talking about, from a military point of view, the work of the ukrainian armed forces was coordinated eh and eh radar equipment and intelligence and drones eh and it all ended with a missile strike. thank you, it was galina korba about what was happening at the front during these more than three months, the russians captured a fifth of the territory of ukraine. i announced such figures earlier president zelenskyi and today he declared that ukraine did what seemed impossible. president zelenskyi remained in kyiv and today he recorded an appeal from a bank near his office, just like in the first days of the war. the leader of the faction is here. the head of the

president's office is here. the prime minister of ukraine is here. shmyhalsk is here . here our team is much larger, the armed forces of ukraine are here, the most important thing is our people of our country, here we have been protecting ukraine for 100 days, as zelensky said, ukraine has done what seemed impossible during these 100 days many still did not want to believe that we stopped the second army of the world, liberated part of our territories and continue to give a worthy rebuff to the occupiers, this is a quote from zelenskyi itself how the capital changed during the war after the shelling and battles in the suburbs, when people hid in the subway, the street emptied and the sirens of air alarms broke the silence, correspondents bbc james water house was in kyiv at the beginning of the war and saw how this kid, the personification of innocence in a world

torn apart by war, is now coming back to life in the city, but fedir is nothing else he knows he was born on february 25 on the second day of this invasion, so in which ukraine will he grow up our country is really good and maybe this is like the price we have to pay for our children to live in a better world in a better country in victoria they gave birth in the basement of the hospital where for the partition was 50 other people, despite the stormy beginning of her son's life, the woman knows exactly what values ​​she wants to instill in him, i order him to appreciate and be grateful to the people of his country and try to preserve the special ukrainian spirit at the beginning of the war line the front approached the threshold of kyiv, the biggest blow was taken by cities such as irpin, where people desperately tried to get out to the russian

troops, in the end they could not enter the capital , but the question still remains whether they will return to kyiv again. however, this does not deter the city, which is trying to restore normal life some families during this time one ukrainian soldier who died will find his final resting place here bohdan kryvitskyi was 26 years old his name means given by god because his parents waited so long for the birth of a child, we have to win otherwise, there is no other way, you don't need to close the sky, the land, the water,

let them come to us, we are killing them here on our native land, it is easier to kill them, we need weapons and everything else, we will gather ourselves » let's start from the eastern front. what is your assessment of the situation that

is happening in donbas, i congratulate you, there is also a second strategic offensive operation of the russian troops on the territory of ukraine from the side of ukraine, a defensive operation, the actions should be critical in the end. and how much is happening and the prospect for the future is being formed. and how many russians planned from march to carry out four coverages, the people call them boilers, the first in the dnipro region in march, the second raisins from the raisin side to the south, this is in april and then in may - this is kramatorsk sloviansk and in june e- eh to carry out coverage and cauldron eh syro-donetsk and lysychansk

eh as we can see from these components of the second offensive operation of the russian federation in terms of time task eh they are sinkholes but they are going hard eh hmm there will be no coverage in the area of ​​severodonetsk lysychansk we see this despite the fact that severodonetsk is captured by almost 80%. the advance of the enemy has stopped and in general it is necessary to consider this area not only a separate oxyverodonetsk area around it, but also a defensive position behind the river and if it is now located on the papa hill, it gives opportunities for the organization of defense in one way or another in this area and in general along the line of contact. i have hope that the enemy

will be stopped and it is thanks to the great help to our armed forces in the supply of weapons equipment that we have leveled our military potential on the level of potential of the russian and with further help we will be able to form a strategic reserve thanks to the training of our personnel for the incoming newest weapons and equipment and thanks to relying on this strategic reserve we will be able to organize and conduct offensive operations to liberate our territories from the enemy actually about the ukrainian counteroffensive and what weapons are needed by the ukrainian military in order to carry it out.

i would like to draw attention to the fact that it is fundamentally important to have modern artillery means of creating these howitzers systems of the automated control system that allowed to organize shock reconnaissance shock complexes reconnaissance shock complexes which in turn allow to have such opportunities that in the current time enter the marking of targets and it helps the allies in this and also transmit the target indication automatically to the means of attack it can be artillery missile cart, it can strike forces of aviation, army aviation, that is, on helicopters to destroy the enemy, we definitely need anti-ship missile weapons on the ground, as well as

kamikaze drones, and i would like to say all this not in terms of individual positions, but in general, so that it would first of all allow us to equalize our military potential, which at the beginning of the war was three times lower than the russian one, a third of which we destroyed in the first operation in the north of our country, but the enemy remains is still powerful, and therefore, first of all, we need to equalize this potential as a whole, er, increase it , and on the basis of this, on the basis of the formation of a prepared strategic reserve, conduct the appropriate code of offensive operation, thank you. it was military observer ihor romanenko about what can be expected further at the front and what the ukrainian forces need for the counter-strike, as well as about the

weapons that western countries already provide or promise to provide to ukraine, observers believe that one of the key decisions was the supply of howitzers, for the first time the west supplied the ukrainians with the means of fire defeating the enemy and not weapons for guerrilla warfare such as javelins, this is the opinion of the former minister of defense andrii zagorodnyak , now western countries are providing long-range missile systems, the united states will provide ukraine with jet heimers volley fire systems, provided that they will not fire at the territory of russia. washington is currently sending to kyiv only the first four such installations, which, according to the pentagon, have already been placed near ukraine. how has western support for ukraine changed? long-range weapons attached to artillery are really useful, just new western weapons appeared on the battlefield in donbas, the russians almost immediately began to

aim at it, as well as artillery missile systems which the united states has agreed to deliver to ukraine can significantly affect the situation at the front, the battle in donbas is not a tank duel, as some thought, it is an artillery duel, for an artillery duel , you need to find enemy forces that support the battle they may be far behind the front line, you need to hit them first than they will move, and that is why long-range accurate artillery is needed, if your artillery is ahead of the enemy's troops by at least half a mile, this may be enough for us, but the issue of weapons now leads to broader political there are those who disagree, who accuse the germans of delaying the delivery of the self-propelled guns they had promised. they say the delays were caused by repairs and the need to train the ukrainian military, but to tell the truth, the germans were

always unwilling to provide what could be called offensive weapons. i think one of the things that we are currently observing, namely the debate about how to somehow send weapons to ukraine, are becoming inextricably linked with the idea of ​​how we want the state of ukraine to look like after the war therefore, if you want ukraine to have the opportunity to fight russia to a standstill - this is one set of weapons. if you want it to be able to return russia to its previous positions, everything else is if you want ukraine to be able to take crimea, for this you need even more weapons at the heart of the dispute is the question about what western aid is intended for, simply to stop everyone in its path or to give ukraine a chance to win back the lost lands in the east and in the south . want to make new territorial compromises with putin, we ourselves would not agree to give up part of the territory so that it would be easier for the rest of the world to

keep cheap gas. why should we impose this on ukraine and it is also in our own interests because we probably will not be able to force putin to what form of reparations the rest of ukraine will feel threatened as well as all border regions, nato's defense budgets will grow and we will not have money for such things as energy, security and climate change, which are actually threats to existence will nato's big players have enough patience for a war that could drag on for next year? it will require constant help from ukraine, and it will also be necessary to withstand high prices for carriers and food. so, france, germany, and even the united states seem to prefer negotiations with russia. president biden recently used a newspaper article with the aim of reporting that his policy in ukraine was not aimed at regime change or at causing significant damage to russia thereby creating

room for diplomacy these are not the things that will be about it is easy to agree, for obvious reasons, ukraine is opposed to territorial concessions , but in reality it is impossible to imagine a scenario in which ukraine will be able to return all the territories that russia has seized since 2014, so this puts us in front of a choice of settlement through negotiations or a protracted war without a real settlement, the usa will supply its new missiles with guarantees from kyiv that they will not be used to attack russia, but few expect that this supply will greatly change the course of the war itself, the war continues even longer in ukraine may face a global food crisis. meanwhile, kyiv accuses moscow of illegally exporting stolen grain, so ukrainian diplomats say. turkey buys grain stolen in ukraine and asks interpol to investigate. at the same time, diplomats say russia

sent approximately 100,000 tons of grain stolen in ukraine to syria. wheat worth approximately 40 million dollars ukraine is a leading food expert on the world market some countries depend on ukrainian sunflower oil corn wheat ukraine used to export its food by sea, which is now impossible. russia has seized most of the coast and blocked the ports. now moscow offers to create humanitarian corridors for ships with grain, but in exchange for the demining of the ports and the lifting of sanctions from russia, kyiv states that russia must withdraw its forces from the water area and provide guarantees that will not attack ports and commercial convoys for a start and with us in direct communication denys marchuk, deputy head of the agrarian association all-ukrainian agrarian council of mr. denys greetings, the ukrainian authorities declare that 22 million tons of grain are stuck in ukraine due to the war. how critical is this amount and will there be room for a new crop?

good evening, this is actually a critical amount - it is a critical amount, first of all, in relation to the country that is dependent on exports that come from the territory of ukraine namely, we are talking about north africa, the near east and the countries of asia, including partial european values, if we are talking about oil crops, but this is also critical in relation to ukraine, because in this period of time of spring work, when the spring sowing campaign was carried out, farmers usually exported , exported their products at the expense of exports, received working capital for conducting their economic activities, the state received funds in the form of taxes to support the country's budget, and the situation is such that the world today is actually on the verge of a possible famine in those countries, i noted, and for the country, it is actually the lack of running

financial resources for the functioning of the state as a whole, now the only way for of ukrainian exports, while russia has blocked the ports - it's railways or barges, how much food can ukrainian farmers take out . this is how and what problems arise here, not two logistical connections, as uh, they voiced them for more than three minutes, well, of course, not like that large-scale as a direction through the black sea e-e directions across the sea but everything is fine, even despite military actions, this direction can be e-e developed, for example, in the months of march at the expense of railways, highways and e-e river shipping managed to export about 200,000 tons of grain, we put it in may, this is already about 1 million 400 1 million 600 tons of the previous one, which we today state was successfully exported in may , a month ago, this direction is developing

. what was discussed in the framework of the meeting of the j7 countries was the moment that through our western borders it would be possible to increase the flow of goods both by rail and by transport and by river vessels, and this is to date this is of course not the pre-war indicators, but the task is to reach at least 50% before the war, which would have the opportunity to export by sea. of all-ukrainian agrarian joy, the task is to increase the export of our potential to at least 2 million, and do you think it is possible to do it if they do not unblock it? however, it is possible to do it, it is possible to do it because today contacts are being established both with representatives of european countries such as poland by our neighbors lithuania. and we

are talking about the context- specific steps of cooperation with poland, in particular on our western corridors, to make transit e-e customs borders for trucks that go, which are quite developed, which are quite so effective and can today transship about millions of tons in the year that there are also prospects for us and we need to establish with lithuania today we only have a railway railway route because we cannot move through belarus, we can not move through poland, but the situation with us that the narrow track in poland is wide in our country and litvirka , that is why we are currently negotiating with the lithuanian side so that it is possible to lay these 300 km between poland and lithuania and ukraine in order to be able to move along the wide railway, uh, our grain trucks. thank you, mr. denysa. this was denys marchuk on the export of ukrainian food during the war and

today's european in the european union approved the sixth package of sanctions against russia, which includes a partial embargo on russian oil, this is the hundredth day of russia's war against ukraine and on this we have to finish the issue, congratulations, friends, vitaly portnikov and we continue the broadcast of the espresso tv channel, the hundredth day of the war that russia started against ukraine on february 24, 2022
