we watched the time, natalia leonova was there with you. it ’s all good, it’s a japanese city, yes. this is a good remark, unfortunately for us. we have to enter a separate conversation about this, because now time is running out . thank you for explaining this position and actually sharing the news about the termination now until the end of the war actions of the presence of russian literature in the school program and with us was vera gayva, a literary critic and doctor of philological sciences and we continue the same news together we are strong will support the ukrainian army with money scan the code good evening our unbreakable country i congratulate you invincible ukrainians the facts of the week analyzed the key events of the last few days and we will try to figure out what will happen next, we thought it was a

sprint race and it turns out to be a marathon, a protracted war, so more and more often experts call the situation at the front, this marathon costs ukraine up to a hundred human lives every day in such heavy numbers of losses on oleksiy reznikov, the minister of defense of ukraine, called the front line, noting that the situation can be changed by a large amount of long-range artillery, which we are still waiting for from western partners, what is the situation at the front now, what scenarios are possible next volodymyr, a native of volodymyr, put together a general picture for you: how putin played the emperor , yet he always heard the cockroach did not trade anything, he returned it. will he succeed in holding pseudo-referendums in donbas, kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia, how can missile

systems from london interfere with this, we analyzed the frontalist scenario with the former by a british intelligence officer exclusive facts of the week the masks are off putin finally called a spade a spade after the exhibition dedicated to the 350th anniversary of the birth of peter i russian the president compared himself to the tsar and declared that he is at war with ukraine in order to expand his empire, well, in everything to our fate, too, it means that it fell out, return it , strengthen it, and the expansion of russia, the gathering of lands, this corresponds precisely to the imperial complexes of the russians, putin wants this to play in principle, whether the dictator is included in the relevant decisions in the occupied territories of kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia, they began to distribute russian passports en masse to the locals, and the opposition russian media, citing sources in the kremlin, talked about that putin wants to annex the occupied parts of ukraine for this to hold a parody of the referendum that we

have seen since 2014 in the crimea and donbass donbass zaporozhye and kherson oblasts in the kremlin seem to want to unite them into a single federal district, but he is right now, when the war is in the hot phase of the western countries are afraid that if ukraine starts to take crimea back by military means, putin can strike with nuclear weapons, and high-precision weapons are given very limited because of this, in moscow they count on what the formal accession of new territories will mean this scheme will continue to work and kyiv's partners will force the ukrainian authorities to reduce the offensive pace and then blackmail the west with what they cannot give. these territories can not make any compromises because they are already part of russia, so that this does not happen, says political scientist volodymyr fesenko, president zelensky ukraine is not going to give up its territories. in the meantime, the most effective safeguard against the pseudo-referendum and putin remains the armed forces and

the western weapon is a british jet launcher m-270 volley fire, two sets of six high-precision missiles with different flight ranges and charges capable of destroying any enemy target, there are devices for self-guidance and correction of the missile's flight on all sections of the trajectory, three such systems will soon become the equipment of the ukrainian armed forces, and they will also be joined by four american aimers in the kremlin , these weapons will not change anything. the occupiers completely burned the village of vrubivka in the luhansk region with heavy flamethrowers, sun-baked councils and hurricanes, this is how neighboring popasna looks now, the enemy destroys everything in its path, russian

artillery terrorizes ukrainian cities, destroys civil infrastructure and makes the work of the ukrainian military much more difficult, thanks to the superiority of artillery, the occupiers were able to advance deep into donbas and capture almost all british intelligence informs luhansk region that russian troops are gradually advancing in the northern donetsk, the hottest point of the front, now this is the outpost of luhansk region here ukrainian army men are fiercely defending every street . under the torrential fire of russian artillery, ukrainian guns are also being cut off, although there is a catastrophic lack of artillery and ammunition to fully restrain the aggressor . the situation is gradually changing. with zuzans and other western weapons, they have already significantly slowed down the advance of the enemy, the situation at the front as a whole

changes every hour, but what to expect next will be done by the occupiers in donbass and other regions , the british expert on defense security and military intelligence, justin crumb, told about all this exclusively for the facts of the week. he has more than 20 years of service in the army of the united kingdom under his belt. and now he is closely monitoring the situation in ukraine, says the russians now they concentrated all their efforts on severodonetsk. vitaly, in the end, the ukrainian army will have to retreat to lysychansk, but it is worth noting that they are still defending themselves there in severodonetsk, that is, despite even a significant advantage in weapons, every centimeter of ukrainian land is very expensive for the occupiers, says a british analyst, and soldier's life and military equipment, and with the fading of fighting spirit and the desire to continue fighting on foreign land, of course, ukraine sets a high price for every centimeter of ukrainian territory, which the russians and their allies, the so-called lpr and the dnr are trying to capture the

ukrainians are forcing them to bleed for it and i think this is what we will see next week, this is really a very powerful defense in donbas and the future plans of the occupiers depend directly on readiness to pay and further in donetsk region, the russians have much more modest successes according to the ukrainian general staff they are trying to advance towards sloviansk they really want to seize the northern part of the donetsk region but they do not have enough strength to act in several directions at once, so now they have concentrated their attention on the eastern part donbas and will obviously try to move westward, they will try to repel the ukrainian forces and surround them. and this zaporizhia region is in the hands of the invaders, the azov regions and zaporizhzhia itself are called the next possible target of the occupiers , especially in the context of putin's plans to make the same occupied territories a new district of russia, but this is in theory, in practice, they still do not have enough strength to hold positions even in melitopol in the

melitopol direction. in the direction of luhansk to the north of donetsk, during more than 100 days of the great war, the ukrainian military destroyed almost one and a half thousand russian tanks, and these statistics continue to grow, therefore, the occupiers brought soviet scrap metal to zaporizhzhia, three dozen t-62 tanks, in modern conditions of mobile combat, such equipment is ineffective, therefore, these irons are dug up and made of them into stationary firing positions, it is 100% weapons of the second line, they drove them to zaporizhzhia, the ukrainians are attacking neighboring kherson, therefore, the russians have to withdraw some part of their reserve. therefore, it stopped their advance. melitopol is a key railway junction in the dnieper region, so it is extremely important for the invaders just as in 2015, the debaltseve hub station was extremely important for them. in general, russia uses the

same methods as eight years ago, supports its actions with political decisions and tries to drive ukraine into another trap of agreeing to another ceasefire, so this is what we call a war on attrition when both sides try to wear each other down it is very arithmetic unfortunately it becomes very formulaic in terms of casualties and losses this is the point where the support of the west and the persistence of the russians enter the fight which will enable to see what the balance will be in this struggle, and here we need to review the arithmetic on our side, the more successes of the ukrainian army in certain areas, the weaker moscow's blackmail looks in the eyes of the west, and even all such powerful missile systems as the heimers m-270 will not only stop the advance of the enemy, but and fully regain control over the occupied territories of donbas, which means that putin's dreams of a new annexation will burn down, as well as russian equipment. if active volley fire systems arrive now, then we have

there will be no advantage, and this is when we will have seven high-precision missile systems in our hands, but because of the language law, the american defense industry is already working at full capacity, and even countries more tolerant of the kremlin's policy are trying not to slow down as early as next week. howitzers, apparently putin forgot that military-political arithmetic is a game that can be played by two people, now in the kremlin they are trying to outdo everyone and, thanks to the superiority of fire on the battlefield, return to the revival of the soviet instead of the union, all of putin's plans are being destroyed by the ukrainian army and established communication between kyiv and the west, here to win the main thing is not to retreat volodymyr runets ictv facts of the week - the only news is our thunder in the middle of a clear sky voting for the resignation of british prime minister boris johnson he finally remembered the parties during the quarantine, however, johnson refrained, the majority

of his party representatives supported the current owner of downing street, which means that the fighter johnson did not just remain in charge of the government. and also received a one-year immunity, that is, within a year, the question of his resignation will not be put to a vote. kyiv was quite happy with this news, because the current prime minister of great britain is a great friend of ukraine. london even looked for ways to unblock the export of ukrainian grain together with ankara, but it seems that turkey has decided play your game, what are they negotiating with the russians without ukrainians, oleksandr melnikov figured out hunger blackmail and grain instead of guns, food, what do you think, russia's weapons are now making the holodomor global on the scale of how ankara negotiates with moscow about the export of our grain and why kyiv was not invited to the negotiations, this is under carpet games for ukraine, how the operation to unblock our ports can turn into a new round of war already at sea and

such that the diplomats do not talk about, which is considered a real weapon of mass destruction, because it killed more people than all -nuclear bombs ever used by mankind and russia seems to have used a much more deadly weapon that kills without a single shot, this grain take its export in ukraine and 400 million people in the world will die famine is a diabolical plan that the kremlin does not hesitate to use. in fact, grain becomes a kind of global pressure tool for russia, like gas. putin closes the issue of grain export to turkey on himself. i think no one has any illusions that the presence of the military presence in russia will not decrease. that is, there there will be a corridor along it,

only grain will be transported if they need it, they will block this corridor in manual mode when they want, that is, they will essentially blackmail this grain, this is a very powerful factor this week the russian landing force landed in turkey, it is about the diplomatic visit of the already toxic head of the russian foreign ministry , sergey lavrov, the main issue of the negotiations is where the blockade of ukrainian ports for the export of grain, which the world needs so much, moscow and ankara offer to export grain according to the following scheme , it is about the convoy of grain carriers by military ships starting from odesa and to the bosphorus there is a corridor of security - the first 20 km in the ukrainian territorial waters of the black sea, grain cargoes will be accompanied by turkish warships and then actually the russian ones, but for this scheme to work, it is necessary to demine the shores of odessa, what could this turn out to be from a military point of view, there is no need to explain once again, russia from the very beginning of a full-scale invasion dreams of landing an

amphibious assault in odessa and capturing the region if the russian large amphibious forces go through demined and cleared croatia ships and support ships, and a turkish frigate will stand nearby, so the turkish frigate will stand and block the way or the turkish frigate will start firing at them as they say, this will not happen, but the plans for odesa are just a drop in the ocean. russia pursues many more goals in the game called unblocking ukrainian ports. if famine begins in the middle east and africa, it will provoke a flow of refugees to europe, which is already oversaturated with them , that is, putin himself creates several levers, one food, the other migrant, he has already tested this migrant lever in belarus and on lukashenko, he can put pressure on europe, this is also a factor, which with the west and ukraine is a powerful trump card

up their sleeves, and they understood that the longer they delay the time, the more effective their blackmail will be, well , this is their classic game, that is, they wait until the end , and then now in this kind of fire brigade format , let's decide quickly, because tomorrow everyone will die they will lean on us, they will put pressure on us, besides, russia is good at counting money from the blockade. it only wins by keeping money flows, cutting them off for ukraine, they want to push ukraine out of the world food market, which means taking ukraine's place the world food market, that is, to deal a heavy blow to ukrainian exports, so while the addresses of the kremlin go to the blockade of ukrainian ports only for a military scenario, at the same time pretending to be a saint who is allegedly not against exports, please can we export what more glass

russia has already exported about 600 in the dark 000 tons of ukrainian grain. and by the way, turkey is one of the buyers of the stolen goods. this further suggests the idea of ​​underhanded agreements behind the back of ukraine, which was not invited to the negotiations. lavrov was asked by a ukrainian journalist about the looting. that from what was stolen in ukraine, in addition to grain, russia has already managed to sell it to you all the time, your head hurts about where the bees are arguing, yes, and you think that this is how russia traditionally plays its favorite game of transfer shooters with the motives of moscow, they figured it out, but what does the blockade want against the anchor for erdoğan's initiative on the diplomacy of ukrainian ports is also not out of good will, it's all a well-thought-out move, the other day the minister of agriculture and forestry of turkey said that they want a 25% discount from kyiv on the purchased in the future grain this is the price for safety for the passage of grain trucks

from our ports and this is an important clue in turkey , there has not been an economic downturn and the shortage of our grain will hit even more . and for turret and in turkey, it leads to an increase in the prices of aerdugan - this is absolutely not necessary before the elections of the 23rd year there and so there is a problem with the economy with the currency with inflation, which is already under 70%, which is an absolute record for 24 years and in turkey a discount on our grain will easily offset the increase in prices due to the war and will support the economy of turkey, in addition, the blockade of our ports with the participation of the turkish fleet will open the door of opportunities for ankara . it is important for us to have a joint strategy with them, an opportunity for turkey to

project its influence on asia and africa and on russia, of course, it is in particular about the distribution of control over the emerging russian military contingent and our grain in this process will have a significant impact . erdoğan wants to return the refugees in syria, of whom there are more than 3.5 million in turkey, in order to return them, it is necessary to at least somehow, at least minimally, stabilize the situation in those territories controlled by turkish troops or turkish groups this is the north of syria, mainly the situation there is terrible and here there is a situation where there is no grain, no products and prices are rising, that is, their regional positions directly depend on this, ukrainian interest is the most obvious but there is a lot in it 170 million dollars of pitfalls every day, these are our losses due to the blockade of the ports and time is playing against us from

july, the new harvest will go and it will go nowhere because we still have to somehow sell the existing grain for everything, there simply will not be enough elevators for storage in the country, we have about 25 million left tons of grain - these are our leftovers and this is the food that other countries need in this process . there are no alternatives to the seas. the export of grain by trucks does not provide a third of what we need to export, and even if the ports are opened today, it will take us several months to withdraw all the reserves, a slow-motion bomb is released from the kremlin and it is this invisible front that can hit us no less than the russian weapons of export have experienced such well, this is our interest, no matter how hard it is, we need to do something about it, simply to sit and watch how the grain spoils there and not know what to do with the next crop. probably, this is not the best option, the key for us is to guarantee the protection of our territory from the attack of russia, to preserve the ports and access to the black sea

of the sea and the most successful believes that it is necessary to ensure such and such security with greater forces and greater use of international partnership. who needs even more influential guarantors of security at sea, such as great britain or nato countries and russia, among them there will definitely not be. this is really a question of the global planetary if so, then the world should help clear at least the western part of the black sea from putin. another challenge is to find those who want to export grain in dangerous waters. no insurance the company will not go for it, and in russia, they know this very well, and in turkey, part of the issue can be removed by our state by providing additional guarantees, if there are any risky events like this and the destruction of a ship, then the state allocates 250 million for this reason funds in

order to cover these losses, it will be necessary to negotiate with ukrainian grain traders who do not want to risk their products, and that is dangerous and sharp. and taking into account these well, i probably wouldn't trot, and it's definitely in our interests to put pressure on world leaders, because without ukrainian grain, millions of people will be left without food, and the world risks ending up in chaos. the blockade of our grain demonstrated how far russian aggression has gone beyond the borders of ukraine. must also understand the countries of the west and the open path for food before it is too late oleksandr melnikov ictv facts of the week - the only news lukashenko surprises this week the self-proclaimed president of belarus said that his the troops may have to defend western ukraine, you didn't hear to defend because these lands can be

pulled away by the west, in fact, lukashenko is singing the laurels, who said before that the poles are already taking over ukrainian territories, this is what they tell us about poland, which accepted 4 million of our refugees, those who bit off bought almost a fifth of our land, however, let's return to lukashenko. does this singing mean a change in his plans and why are people's militia forming in belarus? pavlo vasiliev explained the threat from belarus, why lukashenko increases his army and conducts constant training in one word facts of the week went to the ukrainian belarusian border to assess the situation with his own eyes from here to the belarusian border is only 500 meters but you can't go any further because everything is mined how during the war the rhetoric of his parents has changed and who is he more afraid of now russians will the ukrainians of wartime

ukraine be beheaded by anyone, and will he dare to attack ukraine? what is being forced to do in the kremlin for the kremlin ? can we come forward on february 24 to prevent a russian breakthrough on this part of the ukrainian-belarusian border ukrainian border guards blew up this bridge now oleksandr lukashenko is increasing his army is conducting training but is the belarusian dictator capable of just a carcass without putin's help to invade ukraine belarus here it is next to the border across the vast coast in the middle of the narrow channel of the dnieper until february 24, this road was used by workers of the chernobyl nuclear power plant and residents of local villages on both sides the border is now a road and a checkpoint without people

and without cars, then in hellish february the enemy was never able to cross the border in this area. but in order not to be encircled, the border defenders decided to leave now that control has been restored, and security measures have been strengthened, for example, local residents cannot come closer than a kilometer now among the citizens of ukraine facts of the week the nearest to belarus from here to the belarusian border is only 500 m, but you can't go any further because everything is mined now the border guards say the tension is increasing on our side the defenders of the borders record the activity of the belarusian military at the moment we know that they are conducting military exercises against us we can state that the activity of their e-e border character has increased. the republic of belarus will also protect the state border from its side. we can even hear the shots of large-caliber guns, this is

training of the belarusian artillery, but they are still 5 km from the dnieper, they can no longer be heard polish a local store is not only a trading point and a meeting place and a discussion club regarding the latest news. reports that belarus may be preparing aggression are not at all pleasing to saleswoman svitlana. the self-proclaimed president of belarus, in her eyes , lost the last drop of dignity even when he gave his territory to the russians to attack ukraine. so in one word he says to his face that he is so kind, but on the surface he is the same, well, how can you say one thing and do another completely if it were not for him, of course we would not have such a thing, as they did, if alexander lukashenko did not provide his territory for free use by the russian occupier, the history of the active phase of the russian-ukrainian war could be

completely different from the territory of belarus, on the first day of the invasion, russian helicopters attacked the gostomel airfield, see them how much and the total length of the border between ukraine and belarus is 1084 km in the west from the volyn region to the east to chernihiv, belarus played a logical role in russia's aggressive plans, it was from there that the russians tried to surround kyiv in three days with strikes from two directions through the chernobyl zone on the right bank of the dnieper and by advancing through chernihiv to brovary later the armed forces of ukraine knocked out the russian rapists , occupiers, murderers and marauders back to belarus, but if it were not for lukashenko, we would not have shot buchi irpenya, motyzhina wardyanka and dozens of other cities and villages and thousands of civilians residents would remain alive now in belarus, the self-proclaimed president decided to play with his muscles, creates an operational

command in the ukrainian direction, announces an increase in troops and the creation of the so-called of the people's militia and conducts military schools that typically practice offensive actions during state changes. they are tired of assuring belarusians that their army is more powerful than ever. and even in uniform and at joint exercises, the belarusians can be distinguished from the russians only by the chevrons and flags, although it is indeed demonstrated two big differences have been proven by the so-called second army of the world, because on the training ground you can force water obstacles as much as you want, and in the kharkiv region, you can lose an entire battalion tactical group in just one crossing over siverskyi donets, according to the ukrainian defense department on the border with ukraine, now

seven of belarusian battalions, military expert pavlo lakiychuk considers the activity of lukashenka and his army a psychological trick to help putin 's troops, they continue to carry out such psychological pressure on us with the aim of obtaining the maximum number of our armed formations in order to possibly repulse the possible aggression of the belarusian army as an ally of russia against ukraine, in fact, lukashenka seems to have already understood that the ukrainian army is not to his liking, he has even changed his bellicose military rhetoric in ukraine, everyone has a head here, especially natsiks, so some are called who want to have a free ukraine on their own. what is the truth? he will dance to the tune that he will hear from the kremlin, the diplomat roman the immortal exposé of kyiv in minsk speaks directly belarus is controlled by moscow, lukashenka's position is only a screen for the kremlin - it's called the operation

under a foreign flag when everyone understands that all responsibility lies with lukashenka, but all commands to events are given from the kremlin, and they are not given from the highest level this is an operational level chiefs of staffs who directly manage operations, in other words, now lukashenko is carrying out orders to ukrainian reserves in the north, pavlo lekerchuk is adding the belarusian army to the offensive actions, regardless of paternal rhetoric, frankly fall short of the defense capabilities of the armed forces of the armed forces , belarus will not be able to carry out strategic-level operations in our direction on its own without the help of the russian army, and it is unlikely that lukashenko will agree to act independently on the other side . and no one canceled the danger missile under the threat of missile strikes,

pavlo letiychuk believes transport nodes in the north -west of ukraine kovel lutsk-rivne zhytomyr probable ways of receiving western weapons, zhytomyr can also become the target of a local offensive operation from the territory of belarus, so far the parents have enough strength only for sabotage operations. i think that the majority have already noticed that the main filler of the sabotage groups that operate especially on the territory have operated, operate and will operate on the territory of ukrainian polissia these are the belarusians , so far the russians are not many in belarus for active actions, but our military does not lose vigilance at one of the checkpoints near chernigov, 40 km from the ukrainian-belarusian border, soldiers of the national guard they constantly find drugs, weapons, suspicious citizens of russia, in order to identify a saboteur , you need to be a psychologist, so the battle
