stove with money 3 million people in ukraine if its network using images can spread to other cities - it can be a significant contribution to help with food supply to those who need it on social networks we will be on the air again tomorrow at 21:00 take care glory to ukraine is a verdict program my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all today is the 105th day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people against the russian occupation at night, the russians shelled mykolaiv kharkiv, the critical situation remains in kherson oblast, the enemy is storming

severodonetsk, destroying other cities of luhansk oblast, donetsk oblast, from small arms, tanks, artillery, mortars, rockets, hailstorms, they shelled avdiyivka, kurakhovo, ocheretino, lastochkina, and new york in the last day, the russian occupiers lost 140 russian soldiers in ukraine, the most in words the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reports that with the beginning of the already great war, the russians have already lost 31,500 people and 1,393 tanks in ukraine 3,429 combat vehicles, 703 artillery systems, 213 rocket launchers, 96 air defense systems, 212 aircraft, 178 helicopters - 2,406 vehicles, 13 qatari ships, 125 cruise missiles, 559

drones, 53 units of special equipment, as i said, the situation remains quite tense around the north of donetsk . fighting, the russians are trying to capture the city, they are attacking the city , the ukrainian defenders are holding the defense and, as british intelligence also reports, the city is being attacked from three directions at once, and as british intelligence says, russia is concentrating its offensive on the central part of donbas, it remains on the defensive on the other flanks

. ivan bohun, igor lapin, let's talk with him about severodonetsk, the eastern front, the situation in kherson oblast , mykolaiv oblast, and zaporizhzhia. since we understand very well that the russian federation is trying to immediately attack from several sides in the east and south, it is already preparing the holding of so-called referendums on the accession of part of kherson oblast or kherson oblast and part of zaporizhzhia oblast to the russian federation . in zaporozhye they announced that by the end of the year such a referendum could take place, what does this mean that the russian federation is preparing

pseudo-referendums that should confirm the will of the people of the kherson region or kherson people regarding joining the russian federation well, and accordingly already the legitimization of these regions on the model of the same crimea, because it is clear that for the russian federation it is necessary to at least create some appearance that these referendums or pseudo-referendums were passed correctly and that these regions were entered by troops they have been waiting for a long time although everyone understands very well that this is an imitation of a referendum and a show of will so we are in touch with ihor lapin, a major of the armed forces of ukraine, commander of the third special forces battalion of the first separate ivan

bohun special forces brigade glory to ukraine and igor glory to the heroes, a little clarification while i am on treatment, it means that the third battalion now has its own commander, that is why i am not in command of the battalion at the moment, it is so simple that it was clear to the audience. thank you, mr. igor, for joining of our broadcast and thank you for defending us from the russian occupiers, let's talk about your health first, we know that you were hospitalized at the end of may in the luhansk region. how are you and how are you feeling? everything is fine. you see, i hardly even stutter, so our doctors and drippers are withering in everything, it is working normally, thank god, as they say, everything is fine, everything is fine, well, weak to god we wish you good health, let's start our conversation with the situation around severodonetsk, because it is the hottest the point is probably in the donbas, today the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reported that

ukrainian troops have successfully repelled the assault on severodonetsk, fighting has been going on in the city for more than a day, british intelligence says that russia is attacking city ​​from three directions at once, at the same time the british report that russia is concentrating its offensive on the central sector of donbas, it remains on the defensive on the other flanks. how do you assess, mr. major, the current situation on the eastern front and especially around severodonetsk? well, i can say that, in principle, the russians will use here, the tactics they use are actually not the first day, not the first week, and not the first month, eh, this is an example of a pastime, an example of other cities. that is, where they can not take, they approach and hold by the teeth leave and the artillery begins to work, displacing quarter by quarter, destroying quarter by quarter . as they say, we saw it in mariupol, we saw it

in the fall. well, i personally was there when i was, that is, and in fact, they go by the practice of burning from the earth to the ruins, that's what the guys are holding, of course they are holding, but first, you need to understand that the artillery is going in our direction, and you need to understand that the artillery is responding, and the response is not even to the positions already occupied by the enemy, we mean the city because there may be civilians and so on, the answer to the enemy artillery is this, for today, the main duel is artillery against artillery, the fact that the guys work in the city, they say, and successfully hold back the enemy's advance, this is until the city is completely destroyed, and in this there is the biggest problem in this situation and let's say it like this. well, we are all military, we understand what is happening from the point of view of the planning made by the russians and those bets

on the uh that russia is doing today, they don't care how much infrastructure will be destroyed, they don't it does n't matter how many civilians will die there, they don't even care how many for 200 are theirs, you understand, that 's the main thing - the result at any cost and in fact they put everything they need on it . 000 killed and i understand that more than 100,000 wounded if you use mathematics one to three uh, is there a limit in russia beyond which they will already say what? well, the losses are so huge that we need to leave ukraine well, since at one time the soviet union understood that the war in afghanistan does not bring them anything good and then the truth was 15,000 in 10 years and here in three months more than 30,000

were killed well, look first of all the war in afghanistan this war was divided into the soviet union and all as the republics of that soviet union say and let's still take into account the fact that many ukrainians fought in afghanistan and that is why the russians needed more. well, it took the soviet union more than 10 years to understand that this is nonsense based not on the loss of personnel but on the basis of the loss of resources material resources today in russia there is a bunker leader in which, in principle, there is a difference in the number of the population because there will be 140 million or 40 million people left to live in russia . will be critical in order to stir up society and not in order to frighten there or stop those bunker leaders and their e-e

generals in this situation this limit has nothing to do with the resource of artillery shells and iron well, even the old one, even the surprised one, even the torn and looted one, well, there are a lot of them there, and that's why he will do what he basically does, let's recall the first group. if i'm not mistaken, there were about 160,000 on our borders, concentrated under kiev near chernihiv and kharkov were beaten down quite seriously. after that, putin announced some other wave of mobilization, and instead of the pskov paratroopers , the ulyanovsk paratroopers went on that road, so now we will go there in full force, and that was it. second wave thus, it was worth nothing for him to mobilize 300,000 over the last period, uh, now another wave of mobilization is underway, plus an increase in the

draft age for their so-called volunteers, for putin to collect another 100,000 or 200,000 will not be a big problem for him all the more , he began to attract not from the western regions of his country, or let's say, not from those regions that have the opportunity to successfully use the internet , but began to attract from siberia, from the far east, well, russia in itself is, well, such a beggar country. i am talking now about people. they are not educated enough . as they say, even if they are rich and successful, they have nothing to lose in principle, i.e. money, payments, which allow them to be attracted, and in this way, russian soldiers go to earn money only later, when they understand when you take them out of the field. -e battles

, we are already talking about the fact that there are many so-called refuseniks among them and so on. and we need to talk about this in order to make it clear to everyone that there is a large enough wave of refuseniks in russia, and this alone can stop other recruits from going voluntarily there is no avoiding the draft that putin is making. you have already told igor about the weapons that are coming to ukraine or have already arrived during the war. the united states of america has transferred military equipment and weapons to ukraine in the amount of more than 4 billion dollars today. this is more than any other country. these are the official statistics from washington, now new details have appeared about these weapons, what exactly the united states of america transferred to ukraine, six and a half thousand food supplies and anti-tank missiles , 20,000 light anti-tank weapons, 1,500 missiles stinger 108 howitzer m-77 and with 220,000 charges

, four rocket salvo systems, it has himers. well, and many, many others. let's just say that other weapons and equipment fall on donbas, where the fighting is concentrated. one thing is not enough, why do you think the western countries that have united in a conditional block that can be called ramstein, when 40 defense ministers were meeting at the german air base of the united states of america, why why are these weapons slowly coming to us or not? still hopes in what way to stop putin and er hopes to restrain ukraine because it is clear that providing more weapons to ukraine will allow er ukrainian soldiers to push

the russians much further than the same event is currently predicting - i still don’t leave the thesis that we also have a lot to blame . well, we denied the possibility of an invasion to the last, and so on. people didn’t want to believe in the fact that russia agreed. but nevertheless, let’s remember the same javelines, and especially the gene - benches how much did they help us burn russian equipment, i wouldn't write off the unaccounted for here and our stugna e kortsar, our ukrainian anti-tank development and so on. that is, it works as far as the stinger and the former soviet manpads are concerned, these are also good things that we need, let's not forget what was provided to us hm , the equipment is meant explain the ranks for the so

-called soviet caliber, but the reserves in europe of this soviet caliber are not unlimited and they are actually well, they are not exhausted. even today, we are provided with volley fire systems, for example, you they said there are four units, you understand that we need to saturate the armed forces with them. and what is it to saturate eh in the area? well, let’s go. yes, we have 2,000 borders with russia and another 1,000 borders with belarus. how many of these salvo systems and artillery are needed to saturate our armed forces? forces in such an area for several thousand kilometers, that is, well, you also understand that help is help. hmm, this is not business , not so much business, what kind of help. this is the first point, the second point is still the work of diplomacy. i think it is working quite well today, let's give credit to the fact that we

are pushing putin's line in many directions. of course, there is a very strong russian lobby in europe that blocks many things. i will not today to talk about hungary or other countries that are openly working uh, well, let's say it's not for european values. i say that their personal interests, although for a politician personal interests can also lie in a political life of longevity and so on, that is why a lot of countries, uh, express themselves precisely from the point of view of their own interests, their politicians, leaders , helmsmen, and so on. and this russian lobby works. well, in in many places in the world, there is another point that i want to emphasize. why is it so slow or not so slow? well, you understand that russia is working to divide the opinions in the european

community in the nato community and at the expense of the game of those or us who are perhaps in some countries we see that the russians sometimes achieve er this or that success. well, let's look at it from the perspective of the scandinavian countries joining nato, from the perspective of er finland joining nato, and here is the position of, for example, the same turkey in relation there the kursk party, with which other western democracies cooperate. that is why this issue is quite debatable. for today, i would still first of all say to our western partners. thank you. because they help us survive, we need to win because i already repeatedly said, god forbid, after the last ukrainian soldier falls, after that the soldiers of western countries will begin to fall. because putin will not stop, and in this situation, we need

to work more in the foreign political department precisely on these theses. i am not saying that they are not working, they are working but i say that even more because it is necessary to convey to the western consumer that the losses will be much greater from the point of view and economically if ukraine continues to fight longer and in order to speed up the victory of ogu, of course with artillery systems today play a significant role. i'm not even talking about the air defense systems that have been invented, which we need to shoot down russian missiles and russian planes, and what 's more, we need air defense systems with a fairly large range because not only aviation is fighting against us, there are attack aircraft or tractors russian but russia began to use strategic aviation that takes off somewhere beyond the urals and turns around somewhere near belarus, shelling our cities, but we need these systems , we need such long-range ones. also

to have in order to be able to neutralize the missiles that russia releases against our infrastructure facilities, i emphasize that they do not work against the armed forces, including they work on lowering the infrastructure facilities of granaries and similar to how in kyiv they fired at car repair enterprises there, allegedly explaining there with tanks and so on, that is, the russians don’t care what they destroy , they will destroy everything and everything they can’t steal , they will destroy zno from the report that the amount of the arms contract between ukraine and poland which is called the largest in 30 years, will amount to about 3 billion zlotys, more than 650 million euros, the office of the polish prime minister reported, it is

about the supply of more than 50 crab howitzers to master new weapons, it is clear that there are a lot of new weapons, a lot of high- tech weapons, a lot of weapons that the ukrainian military has not yet held in their hands and did not fire from them, how long will it take from the supply of these weapons before entering the positions, well, look, i don't think that it will take a lot of time, uh, when they said and how long does it take to master the bayraktars and how long does it take to master the planes there and so on well, of course , the plane is enough it's a serious technological thing , but on the other hand, artillery systems, i think it will be, well, let's say that in order to master them , it is necessary to measure it in days, not even weeks, but days. i would not pay attention to this in the context that this is a problem for our soldiers master e any weapon because, in principle, any weapon is

the same, especially another point that i want to emphasize is that the weapon of european countries is made for people, it is meant for soldiers , it is how long did it take us to master in love with you, well, since the video is on youtube in principle, two minutes, it’s true. you’re already watching, and the tanks near kharkiv caught fire. let’s remember how much time passed from the moment of the delivery of the first enlaves to the moment of the invasion of russian tanks in the kharkiv region a few days ago. in this situation, i would have i would not emphasize the fact that supposedly for this we need a lot of time to master, there is the issue of the production of those systems, there is the issue of rearmament for new generations of our western partners, and they can give these older weapons faster, this does not mean that they are giving us weapons there today of 2022 release. there are certain technological things that cannot

be transferred to us despite our as they say, ideas despite our main struggle against the main evil in the world, but nevertheless, a lot of modern weapons that are provided to us, it needs let's put it this way, it doesn't take a lot of time to master it, it takes a lot of time to saturate the armed forces with these weapons because, i emphasize, well, it's good that they will give us 50 howitzers under the contract, i emphasize once again, the front line in our country is measured not even by tens, not even by hundreds , even already not by thousands of km, we have a lot of front lines, let's not forget that today ukraine is fighting not only against russia, although someone is writing off the things that are being done in belarus today, in belarus, the territory provides belarus, it provides fuel, lubricants opportunities for russian troops belarus stretches our defense by another 1,000 km of the border because we

are forced to keep certain forces of the army concentrated on the borders with belarusians, including in my homeland and in volyn, rivne region, zhytomyr region and so on, we have very, very many borders with belarus therefore, today we will not be against one of the largest armies in the world, you know. that is, today we are not fighting against russia alone. russia we are fighting today for our future, but against an aggressor who uses a lot of resources of different countries i emphasize once again that these resources are not only material, political, military-political alliances, they do not provide only material equipment , they also provide political pressure and so on . politics or russian militancy. by the way, mr. igor, i remembered one of our conversations before the new year, we talked about the threats from the northern front, from the northern

border, there are more than 1000 km, and we have a border with belarus, by the way, you remembered now, because yesterday the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine announced that the armed forces of belarus are going to accumulate there on their respective southern border, and on ours on the northern 80,000 military personnel to expand their the army on this border is now from the territory of belarus, and russia is trying to turn a bridgehead into a bridgehead and create all the prerequisites for, as i understand it , to constantly keep our armed forces on the northern front under tension. how likely is it that uh, at some stage of the current war, it is meant that the emphasis from the eastern front can be transferred to the northern, or the

emphasis of the front can be transferred here, i can’t say because for this you need to have a lot of intelligence, but the very fact that lukashenko today even prices statements are already helping putin, because we are also forced to take into account these statements, to take into account the capabilities of the belarusian side and, as they say, to keep more or less of these or other troops necessary to restrain a possible offensive if this happens therefore, to say how likely it is, well, look , uh, before the new year, back in december, i said that the main attack of russia would go to kyiv, near the teteriv river, where we have gostomel ivankiv, and bucha irpin, i said that since december. well, someone didn't believe me. is it possible to reject this factor in belarus today, and the general staff of course also draws attention to this, regarding the amount of whiskey that lukashenko can mobilize, well, mobilize. perhaps he will not be able to

declare about 70,000 additional and so on, but you see, there is still internet in belarus once again let's remember the support of lukashenka lukashenka was actually supported by the security forces who received enormous salaries, therefore the economic pressure on belarus can play a very big deterrent factor for the lukashenka regime because they still have to get money from somewhere russia eh to date, they have not yet gone bankrupt, and belarus seems to have completely melted away. that is, these are countries that have certain financial resources, but there is economic pressure on belarus. today there should be total well, why are we doing this because the fact is that flirting with putin gave only the fact that for eight years he slowly gathered his strength and did what he wanted to do flirting with lukashenka without destroying him economically, this foundation of lukashenka's eh well, it's also useless

they will lead because he will feel the weakness of the west or the less the west puts pressure on luka, the more he will think about his weakness, let's remember how he got on the nerves of our western partners as refugees on the border, we remember that all and in this situation. in this context, i believe that it is necessary to remind the western partners about this, whether belarus will be able to concentrate a large army, so that it will be able, on my deep conviction, to mobilize and carry out some things there. they will be able to, why? well, because lukashenko. conscripts will not move, but turn to the military commissariat. will the army go to fight against ukraine, some part of the possible risky, maybe for some promises, buns or money, i don’t know if it will be massive, for example, phonetic faith in putin in russia and phonetic faith in lukashenka well, we know that this can not be because there was such massive support of the

historical support of its leader as in russia , in my opinion, only during the time of hitler there or mussolini mussolini in his time there had such support among the population, but lukashenka does not have such support, so this, if this, well, these realities, if they will happen. they will not, well, let 's say, have popular support, there is no popular love for lukashenka, and therefore, without such support, of course we can say that he will be able to do it with such forces, we are there 70,000 and so on will not be able to attack ukraine. will it be possible to use the russians if they can, they will be able to do it because, once again, i emphasize iron and the population in russia is large . are you coming from belarus or not from belarusians, in what form they do not make a difference at all, well, the question the following question arises here: does the self-proclaimed president lukashenko control anything in belarus, well, it means how much it will depend on him, because his dependence on putin is obvious and

demonstrative, just look how much it is will depend on lukashenka, i can't say in that context what, um, no matter what the date is, you understand, there is such a concept as giving the command to start . so, i emphasize once again that 70,000 for ukraine to fight will not go to ukraine, you understand. but some part can go and do it there, well, a big problem , a big problem in the context of the forces of the means of defense, you understand, i emphasize again, i do not believe a ten thousand belarusian army that can go to fight against ukraine, but if it is even 10,000, well, let's have 10 000 we will take and take here they are, god forbid, one of our western regions, so in this situation it is a completely different war. it seems to me that our western partners should also

react more sharply. europe well, you understand. if the second country, or the third, or rather , the country joins already with its armed forces against ukraine, who else will we wait for ? troops that remained there after the azerbaijani one , after the situation with the mountain boxes, or what are we going to wait for, or have five countries come here in the armed forces, and then the whole world will understand that this is not just a war that putin of ukraine unleashed that this is a threat not only to the existence of ukraine, it will be a threat to the existence of the entire democratic world, that's why i think that the country takes such a position that, well, we haven't been attacked .
