mykoly, i congratulate you. good evening, mr. vasyl. greetings , dear ukrainians. well, first of all, let's talk about the situation, from what we can talk about, again, about the military situation in this uh, pasnay, maybe near pasnay, where, from what we can say, how heavy are the battles there ? continue as what as the enemy sets a goal in itself not also we will talk about the humanitarian component later on are there even any people left there how do they live how can you even survive in a city that actually does not exist as a city please very difficult situation as you know since may 8, popasna itself has been occupied throughout the territory of the community, now very fierce fighting is going on, eh, you asked, eh, what is the aggressor counting on, what are the plans of the aggressor, you know that at first they recognized the territory of the luhansk and donetsk regions, allegedly by the ldr, now

in general their plans have spread, they are already counting on in zaporizhzhya and kherson region. that is, their plans are to take all of luhansk in donetsk region for themselves, but our guys are giving a decent fight back at a heavy price, at the price of maiming, at the price of lives, but the region today is our popasnya community partially occupied although the majority of populated areas are occupied, what will happen next, only god knows, and i think that our guys will manage . he is the womb of possibilities, how do people live in general, how can you call this life and how much it is well, at least approximately similar to where, say, there is no such hell as in the popasnaya in the opasnyan community, please, it is very difficult

people live for those people who remain in the popasnya community. well, i will say this to god , but in general it cannot be called life, and it is also difficult for people who have left the borders of popasnya to live , because you will understand how morally the people who were left without housing, who were left without prospects for the future, they do not know life is essentially over for them, that is, there is a physical shell, we can see them, but if we looked into their thoughts, we would see that the person has already died, just physically, there is only a body because, well, you understand, well, different people don't want to say such unpleasant things. well, let me tell you about them. there are cases when people from more or less peaceful regions went to europe. there they were given free housing and some kind of financial

assistance, and here in ukraine they rent their homes to immigrants and the prices can be be 300 and 400 and 500 $. well, what is the mood of those people who stay here and now have to rent such housing, historical, individual stories, you know, there is always black and white. during the war, unfortunately, someone gives away their housing for free , who still helps people even there for the utility bill does not ask for money, they understand that it is difficult for people, and by the way, here in western ukraine, only in western ukraine, there are a lot of such stories and people still help. well, someone really acts like you do. by the way, people who are quite famous and people who have certain positions and in business and politics, which is very unpleasant when they left the regions where everything is more or less normal. at the same time, people who have huge needs now, well, could not find, so to speak , find a place for themselves in europe, but before that these active battles of the reserve began before the enemy began to raze it to the ground. did many people

manage to get out then, and again, when everyone was willing, or were there those who thought that it was better? it is possible to stay. well, it won’t be so scary, please. i completely understood . your question, well, look , we were all a bit mistaken, we didn't think that the enemy was so cynical, we didn't think that he would destroy our settlements so powerfully, and he really is an enemy . what are they they expected to take all of ukraine in three days, but in two months they could not take the troops, and when they joined the aviation, only then were they able to take the troops, and we were all sure that the enemy would not pass . they left popasna, and then the school buses were empty, they were just six people each, they drove buses that already had 50 people when it got hotter, let's go, that's why we

didn't calculate the situation a bit, but everyone who wanted to get in and leave everyone had such an opportunity people who stayed in popasnaya or in other settlements. for example, yesterday there was a video from the komishuvakhi, the occupiers came and said to the video camera on the phone. what if you stay, everything will be fine, we will bring you olive oil, we will bring medical help, fuel for generators, and already today they just cynically took them and took away the occupied it used to be like this in pervomaisk and everyone was taken to the popast, then everything was stolen from their homes and then they were taken to the popast, now i think according to this scenario they will act in komyshuvas, that is, looting the pact looting remains and i would also like to ask, but i read what the enemies are doing in the occupied territories in the sense of ensuring that there is at least some vertical of power, but there in the kharkiv region, some belarusian was pushed to make a gaulai terem somewhere, a local

bastard agrees to work with the enemy and serve this enemy, as in the kherson region in zaporizhzhia region but here in luhansk oblast, which they actually destroy point by point, how can their aviation get there, because it is their artery, are they organizing something there, or is it all them there they subordinate their so-called ldrs and supposedly rule from there, but how are they there at all, at least someone to whom i can predict there, i need medicine. well, i understand that they will not be given, but all the same, even though there is some gauleiter there, at least or something like that, this is the place where they just steal, kill and want to spit on people. we also saw a video where in one whole building in popasnaya they organized a humanitarian hub, e-e, a sign was attached to the only russia now. they work to do something or did they do anything after that, i can’t say 100%, but i’m not sure that

they could do something now. this plot is in the whole building. you see some packages being distributed to people, well , you see people too, well, unhappy. well, people just survive, just survive, and now they we are simply forced to thank anyone for that bottle of water or for that package of food because there really is nothing left to get in. and today i talked to a specialist in electricity and he says, well, it’s impossible to pay for it in the near future to restore, moreover, to restore the power supply, it is necessary to either pull the wires or happiness, that is, if it is conditional now, deo buy popasna, but not where to buy other things and happiness, then the power supply will not be in popasna, thank you very much, take care of yourself and thank you for the work you do, mykola khanatov, head of popasnya city military-civilian administration by the way, i want to add to the topic of donbass and how local people are treated in mariupol, the occupiers already removed the local

residents of the zavali congregation after seeing how many are under them bodies, that is, so that even the locals did not see the horror that the enemy left under the rubble of the houses destroyed by him. mariupol is certainly a horror. well, not only mariupol, serhiy zgurets is with us. my co-host colleague and expert defense express. i congratulate you. after popasna, we will probably start by talking about the situation in general at the front. well, of course, the east, where the hottest battles are currently taking place. the strategy of the russian federation regarding combat children , that is, for two months, artillery was used, aviation was destroyed, the infrastructure was destroyed, and after that russian troops entered after our troops left. at this stage

provides such a tactic of promoting the crushing of our defense and this is precisely what causes these repeated appeals by the ukrainian leadership political and military to other countries of the world to provide us with timely military aid in sufficient quantities now that we are talking directly about hostilities, i will confirm the opinion of the general staff, which was already heard this evening, that the enemy is really trying to carry out preparations for offensive actions from two directions, this is directly from the raisin of of another direction, precisely from the grazing zone, which we mentioned when we talk about er raisins, here the bird is about preparing an offensive directly on slavyansk in the er direction using, that is, the potential that is there are accumulating in the izyum direction. and when we talk about the immediate movement, the

potential movement of the enemy can be directly towards bakhmut in order to surround the city and cut the route directly, e. about slavic, what we can see on the map now is that the protection and defense of slavic is so powerful that now the enemy is trying to find different holes in our defense, first of all again using artillery for our positions and moving forward, but when we talk about the time of the advance, remembering the experience of the fall, we understand that for two months such a preparatory artillery attack lasted in order to ensure some kind of movement on the battlefield. therefore, it is now extremely important to provide

opportunities in order not to give the enemy to carry out similar movements from the raisin in the direction of sloviansk and not to give the opportunity to act in the area of ​​the pasture, let me remind you that the general states of the armed forces demonstrated good capabilities in deterring the enemy's actions let's remember the situation there on the 5th, when the commander of one of the russian corps , e.e., roman kutuzov, was destroyed. he tried to ensure the advance of his troops there, by personal example, to raise them to attack, but it ended just as we destroyed the general himself. why is this happening ? it turns out that despite the significant advantage of the enemy in artillery at the current stage, it turns out that the russians today already lack qualified infantry capable of clearly interacting with artillery at three months of hostilities, all the motivated infantry was

destroyed. and actually there is no one to support the offensive actions, given the low level of personnel who are now joining the hostilities, but in any case, the number of e-e russian military equipment, the number of personnel remains quite significant if we we say that the front where the hostilities will take place there is 900 km, and the distance from izyum to popasnaya is 200 km, and 50% of the entire russian army is concentrated there forces that are currently on the territory of ukraine. now, another area that still has and will have tactical significance is directly donetsk, what we now see on our screen. what is the enemy trying to earn? assault actions are still taking place in the north donetsk area, where eh, the main combat operations here are on the line of the residential zone and the industrial zone, and the enemy

is trying from several areas directly from the eastern part, which does not intersect with the seversky don, to use the opportunities to carry out an offensive on severodonetsk, but the general headquarters reported that all these efforts had no result and the enemy's efforts were, let's say, absolutely worthless, but this does not mean that the enemy's methods and desire to capture severodonetsk, which in principle remains a symbolic city for the russian side at the border exit , will not continue the administrative borders of the luhansk region said precisely that the enemy now has a sign to concentrate up to 50% of its military potential in this area, so it is interesting how much ukraine has its potential in this very area, but even i understand that it is much less, but our troops are fighting hard for this. well, they

won the khanate and ukraine really does not pay a high price for the fact that they are holding these positions. well, actually, about the losses. and in general, about the ratio of forces to one hundred fighters ukraine loses so much every day. half a thousand more are wounded. the situation at the front is difficult, says the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov. the kremlin continues to press with the masses , it skids, it is exposed to strong resistance, there are huge losses, but it still has the strength to advance. in certain areas of the front, the minister noted that in order to lose fewer soldiers, ukraine now needs heavy weapons, so our next goals are to obtain a significant number of nato-style anti-aircraft guns, to ensure the complete replacement of some existing soviet-style calibers on a platform that is widespread in countries and equipped with ammunition, to agree with partners about the transition to supply not in the form of individual platforms, but in the form of integral units that are immediately ready to carry out combat tasks in the oceans, this is significantly will increase the effectiveness on the battlefield, attract hundreds

of units of heavy armored vehicles, without which an effective counteroffensive is impossible, and finally get combat aircraft and air defense equipment to protect our skies, let's listen to the minister, well , actually, it was the minister's post on facebook, and he stated exactly the things that today directly concerns the needs of the ukrainian army because aviation and air defense and heavy weapons and tanks are repeatedly raised at meetings with our partners. i think that now the reminder is made with the aim of the next meeting of rammstein three, which should

be on the 15th. harpoons are in ukraine, he also said that the training is quite effective, 1,500 ukrainian soldiers have already been trained on various models of foreign weapons, even that which has not yet arrived in ukraine, i think that this directly applies to those well-known high-mars and it is interesting that different people said that soon we can get serious unmanned aerial vehicles. it is difficult to predict under the word serious for now, but if we remember that the topic has already been discussed in the mass media, that in particular the roter agency asked about the fact that the ministry of defense and the pentagon negotiations are underway regarding the possibility of purchasing gray eagle drones, yes, mr. serhiy, we are just adding to the conversation the expert oleksandr los , ex-director of the e-dran enterprise antonov, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksandr congratulations you, reznikov's statement was interesting from the point of view of

prospects and needs, but he also said that he was dissatisfied with the pace and quantity of weapons supplied to everyone. what are the main problems today in the interaction with the united states regarding the acquisition of a significant amount of weapons? weapons, we have already talked about it, and not only me, and we have repeatedly mentioned that the liquidation of the remnants of soviet weapons, which were and have already been almost exhausted in ukraine, is now taking place , therefore the transition to western models , primarily american, of course, and all nato models, is no longer just some kind of wishful thinking or as we said

, will it or won't it already be the fact that it is already on one side of the fact but it is really necessary to build up and the minister's statement she carries more than a political call for diplomacy, ukrainian diplomacy, western diplomacy so that speeded up the bureaucratic procedure when we talk about lend-lease as such, you know it is such a generalized concept because the actual act regarding lend-lease was signed, you remember on the memorable date of may 9 of this year, but also this for a significant amount, it is already about 40 billion, and one document was signed already at the end of may on additional military financial assistance, so when they say lend-lease, i understand that they simply mean support from the united states of america in military and technical plans. by the way, not only military equipment is included there, it is also about the protection of the civilian

population, we can add that it is no secret that even the air alarms that you and i announce are also taking place with significant technical support, precisely from our american colleagues from the british colleague oleksandr, i need you. you know what i wanted to ask in addition. the adviser was gloating about the president. podolyak said to himself that give us uh missile systems of salvo fire, well , turning to our western partners and you you will see the real fighting capacity of the russian army, well , in the sense that these uh, these weapons can really change the situation, except for the rsv, which is still so necessary for ukraine so that, well, we will see this fighting capacity of the russian army, which will already technically be able to oppose well, in the level of the opponent, and in something even better i would not divide the military capabilities, because it is necessary to start with the provision of ground troops from infantry and ending, of course, with heavy operational-tactical aviation and anti-

missile defense systems specifically against missile we don't have anti-aircraft anti-missile defense we only have elements of anti-aircraft we need our own radio equipment so that ukrainian operators can control them and no one has accused the united states of america that they enter the war, including that we know that russian radio equipment is sufficiently advanced, and it is even recognized by american experts, missile systems , long-range artillery, for today, at least as far as the east of our country is concerned, this is more is necessary. i want to add about the legal aspects of the lend-lease and military financial assistance. if you read the documents carefully, what was even from the screwy cost of may 9, i will remind you that it says that the prerequisites must be created in 60 days and procedures for speeding up the transfer of weapons to that from the point of view of american

legislation, unfortunately for us as such a backlog. so far, there is no. again, the minister emphasizes the need for accelerated supplies of weapons because, as i said, we are exhausting our stockpiles of soviet weapons, and we have a failure simply in terms of training specialists for retraining on western models of even the same artillery of the rsv and going to the front already in massive numbers. here we still have time accounts. i just wanted to our discussion, you can say. and now the question arises again, who, how did it happen that our warehouses with ammunition exploded, now suddenly it has become relevant. well, i am talking about what the question is not only to mention why you were pounding warehouses to look for prominent ones and to mention the fact that we still do not have our

own production of ammunition as such , starting with small arms and ending with large-caliber ammunition, that is, this is no less an urgent issue that must be resolved from the point of view of the development of the domestic defense industry this war simply showed that for a really long time the state authorities did not prepare for war, well, that is, you know how it is when there is no deep bench. things that work in a war of attrition somewhere they are not ready somewhere the rockets are not ready somewhere there was still some program somewhere there was underfunding of the army somewhere there was such and such a situation with what it means somewhere there something explodes and we never punish them for that either we will punish the bulletproof vests , we will remember well, there are many things that can be remembered now it will not change anything well, but this is just a good lesson, it will be interesting that the minister admitted that he is ready to listen to criticism, and the criticism today is that directly now volunteer

organizations are engaged in the functions of the ministry of defense in providing the troops with body armor and food and there with night vision devices and quadcopters, what the ministry of defense itself should be buried in. now the volunteers are partially performing the function of the ministry of defense, which indicates that the system is not fully effective, i.e. it is still worth hoping, of course, for the professionalism, strength and character of our fighters and their ability to fight in the most important way, of course, and for the fact that help will arrive in time, and well, but the fact that we are now in this period in fact, we endure with a lot of blood, well, this is the price of some kind of unpreparedness somewhere, absolutely thank you, thank you very much, serhii zhoretskyi. my colleague, the co - supervising expert of defense express, was with us. what will the weather be like in ukraine tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen? good evening, please. greetings, greetings to vasyl. greetings

, dear tv viewers. let's talk about the weather that is expected in the coming saturdays and sundays. and on sunday, the green holidays of the trinity. it's important, actually, just like every day, especially now. well, the heat continues for now. tomorrow is hot. hmm, the weather will be 28-34° maximum, it will cover almost hmm, most of ukraine, only in the west it will be a little lighter, the air will be fresher, the air will be kinder there, somewhere 24-29 degrees above zero . and there will also be short-term rains with thunderstorms about whether they will be somewhere else, we will talk later when we examine each region of ukraine separately, and now we are going further and look at the predicted behavior of the earth's magnetic field well, here it is before you can see in the diagram that at the beginning of the day, somewhere at night in the morning, there are small fluctuations in the future, the situation is

quite calm, therefore the magnetic activity is small or moderate and will not threaten us in any way in our well-being . it is in the western regions that there will be short-term rains , mushrooming thunderstorms in the carpathians, even heavy downpours are possible, residents and temporary, so to speak , residents of the carpathians, who are now outnumbered there months of war, please take into account this forecast, i emphasize once again that tomorrow in the carpathians there may be heavy showers, well, the air temperature is quite comfortable 24 °c 27 °c in the northern part of ukraine tomorrow it is expected to be hot 28-32 °c 28 33 °c mostly without precipitation, maybe even in the evening zhytomyr region a little the exact one will touch a little. i apologize for the rain and thunderstorm, but everything

will prevail in the north tomorrow, dry air and hot weather in the eastern part of ukraine will also be hot 32-33 32 34°, without precipitation, there is a lot of sun under such conditions. well, when dry weather is hot the fire danger is getting worse, or rather the fire danger is increasing, so be very, very careful with fire in the central regions from vinnytsia to dnipropetrovsk oblast, well, high air temperature is also expected, it will be hot, significant precipitation is not expected, except for some isolated local rains in places, but still, for example, in poltava oblast in the dnipro with the districts, well, dry sunny weather will prevail in the southern part of ukraine , the air temperature will be slightly lower, for example, in odesa region 30 32 30 33° is expected in the southern part of the country,

precipitation is possible, i.e. short-term rains and thunderstorms in odesa, mykolaiv region, kherson. but it will be dry in zaporizhzhia, for example. well, dry hot weather is expected in kyiv tomorrow, the maximum air temperature in kyiv will fluctuate around 32-33°. very, very hot. please drink more water. don't get carried away by being outdoors in direct sunlight. and by the way, of course, i want to say that on june 12, it will rain on the trinity in kyiv it almost always rains, the rain can be so short-lived, but nevertheless, somewhere it can rain more heavily and with a thunderstorm, and on sunday, the heat sent me a little, and the general easing of the heat in most regions of ukraine will come from tuesday, we will be watching from june 16. here is the closest

synoptic prospect in ukraine, vasyl , natalka didenko told us a lot about the weather for tomorrow well, there is still time to talk about uh, a few such interesting news, you know, russia is always um, how are they there now, this explains that russia uh, bazvrashchaet and укрепляет, well, that is, they are there, everything they take back to themselves, they are there in the czech republic, part of it is loaded, they took back the donbas stand, crimea, they say that they returned it and strengthen their borders, so to speak. well, they also troll russia and make it clear that it is not all that russia considers it to be his in general, so it was, in fact, all that russia had, well, like the muscovite kingdom, this is the muscovite principality, it was, and then, a kingdom. and smolensk, er, may not be russian . and in vilnius, they responded to russia's threat to cancel the independence of lithuania, one deputy said that this is not very , not very adequate, he said that it means that it is possible to cancel the decision on the recognition of the independence of

lithuania in the 91st year, what in lithuania was cast in the capital, vilnius, in the diet, they said yes, if the state duma of the russian federation will decide at this step, that is, to cancel the recognition of the independence of lithuania, the agreement of 1634, according to which smolensk came to the russian federation, will lose its validity, this opinion was expressed by the deputy of this prayer matas maldeitis a-a well, in principle, yes, i think that then a lot the countries of the world may also have different agreements to cancel something in russia and it will turn out that russia will return to its historical borders, so to speak, which will be limited to a ring around moscow. well, maybe there are a few more cities because in the rest of the cities, they either captured or took away or annexed or did something else, and in fact it should be remembered that not

only russia has the right to something. a fool means one who goes around and does what he wants, but there are always doctors for every such fool, the best doctors today are the armed forces of ukraine, who are trying to succeed in returning the enemy to his borders, far from us, in what respect we wish him success, pray for our boys, help to our army, support each other, take care of yourself, i say goodbye to you. see you tomorrow. until 14:00. mariemsyachak and i will spend the evening from two to five. we will talk about the most important things. good evening, and now for your attention e-e issue from my colleagues from the ukrainian service of bbc news let's watch together from ukraine my name is hryhoriy zhigalov today in the donbass program continues
