role, we can see that the city is holding. and actually the armed forces of ukraine control the territory of the nitrogen plant, which is about 40% of the entire city, and the enemy has not been able to achieve its goals for weeks, so we can see that the fresh forecast of the institute for the study of war regarding severodonetsk that this week will be decisive for the defense of the city well, turning to popasnaya p. mykola, let's talk a little about what is difficult to talk about, because the city is almost completely destroyed. and where did the people of popasnaya go? what can be done for of internally displaced persons from the city who are in other regions of our country are being red- handed now all over the world, throughout ukraine, in all regions and all settlements, it is clear that we would like to go to every popasnian to deliver some humanitarian aid, provide some support - but today we have two

humanitarian hubs, one in the city of bakhmut, where there are many popisnians and other residents of the luhansk region, because people are afraid to go far and unknown, they hope that it will be soon release if they return, so every day there are 60,100 people receiving humanitarian aid, recently we opened another humanitarian aid station in novomoskovsk, there every day 250 people receive uh-uh, they write, they call, pastors ask for support from all settlements in kyiv, ternopil, chernivtsi, but unfortunately we we cannot go to everyone and provide humanitarian aid to everyone. well, how can the kurds restore the city and return to the people, and are there already plans to rebuild the local administration of the international government of partners i understand that it is difficult to predict this. so when the actual nepopasna direction is going on, the

most intense battles of all time are going on. but nevertheless, the columns are falling. well, we need to give people hope , we need to have this hope and be guided by it. please share your plans. it is clear that if popasna will be released, let's go back there and restore the whole world, eh, but i think let's answer this question in the next broadcast, after the release will appear. well, i hope that we will have many more broadcasts, please tune in to us more often and in the meantime, tell us, share something, the workers of the popasnian military administration, who are concentrated under military conditions, what are your efforts focused on, and what are you doing for the soldiers in particular, and where are they stationed, how does the military administration help the military in particular, military -civil

administration, so that you understand, these are local self- government bodies and executive power bodies, and we are more concerned with humanitarian issues and social issues, because as far as our civilian citizens are concerned, we now we are dealing with humanitarian and social issues, health care issues, we now have doctors providing assistance in various localities related to the military, we are doing this on our own initiative, we are doing it with our own funds, we are helping people, this is a separate procedure, this is already does not apply to the powers and duties of the military-civilian administration, what else mykola well, i would like us to somehow try to predict the development of the scenario m in the near future as possible as possible the development of events in e donbas, what will it depend on in your opinion, we are asking about this not

only do you know military experts, no - we always quote here the institute for the study of american war yes, but we also want to know the opinion of those people who are directly on the ground who are actually making history today so please share your thoughts on how the situation in luhansk oblast may develop in the near future . so that we can talk about the beginning of the liberation of the luhansk and donetsk regions in general, please we all understand that neither we nor you and together we are here on the air, this issue has not been resolved, it should be a powerful diplomatic mission and i see how are our government officials dealing with this issue now? i see that today no one supports russia, but ukraine is supported by the whole world, so if

our high-ranking officials continue to act in this direction, i think that we will receive further support, and only under these conditions will we be able to physically and psychologically and political e choose victory over your own in your country and powerful diplomatic places in the form of missile systems salvo fire e-e yes e-e howitzers e-e french german e-e anti- missile systems anti-aircraft systems all all these signs of effective effective diplomacy we are waiting for e- to our frontline thank you mr. mykola mykola khanatov the head of the popasnya military administration was in touch with us via skype well, we have the material of our journalists yes andriy yes to say one more mykola waterfall from the conversation well, actually, there, in the military

administration, they know more about the situation, they know even more, and the military themselves know the situation even more. the people there in the general staff know about the situation and so on. well, what do we need to understand? this is really what is very correct. interesting, mr. mykola, well, there is no question that they could have taken something there, for example, how much was there from the shepherd, what was left there, in fact, at the moment, for example, there was not much life there, well, that’s not what we ask as the most damage to the enemy we do not allow our forces to be surrounded, we avoid great losses in equipment and, of course, in people, which is very important . well, that's why. so, for example, for me, what cooper writes there is that they managed to take, for example , our main forces from zolote, because yesterday they only said that there is a danger in the environment for me, everything is good information, not what is there. we retreated over there for 2 m, so what do you go back

, which french retreat to jump further? this is exactly our slogan today. we are at war with everyone during the day we will become stronger, why don't you say about russia and they are already thinking about switching to the release of volga gas-24, maybe you said about it yesterday, well, you say that our task is to reduce the loss of the ukrainian military, but the losses in this one are also about the losses of the ukrainian military and civilians first invasion we have uh report material from journalists espresso let's get familiar with it and after that we will talk with a military expert more about what the situation really looks like and how things may develop in the near future so right now, fresh material from our journalists , every day since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, up to 100 ukrainian defenders are killed, such figures are called by the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy

reznikov. and while the partners are hesitating to provide heavier weapons, ukrainian mothers receive funerals only on the first day of the invasion due to massive missile strikes on military units and a strategic object , 46 military advisers to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, oleksiy arestovych, are more frank in their comments, according to him, we have already lost up to 10,000 servicemen, no army in the world calls its losses during the war, it is simply a ban on this, a state secret, firstly because it is secondly, it is simply to show, point out to the enemy the character, methods, means and effectiveness of his actions and the assessment of the potential of our combatant under no circumstances even more of our civilians are dying as of may 31, 9,000 civilians died because of the invaders and the russian army. these statistics were published by the office of the un high commissioner for human rights according to data of the adviser to the mayor of mariupol petro andryushchenko

, at least 22,000 civilians died in this place alone russian nazis are killing our children , according to the information of the shadows, almost 600 children were injured, the most children were injured in the donetsk , kharkiv and kyiv regions, for the most part, we are informed about the losses of the enemy, hiding them, but personal personnel follow such tactics our command, however, the silence is sometimes interrupted by the statements of the president, so many people die today, every day, it is the fault of several hundred people, 450,500 people, even sometimes there are wounded every day, western partners believe that our data can be trusted, but the ministry of war of the russian federation calls its figures in june

, they reported about 23,000 dead ukrainian soldiers, but we will receive the final data after our victory, here we are coming back, we are talking about quite a large loss we are this. unfortunately, the price that ukraine is paying for this war is precisely independence in the war for the sake of well, but the main main victory of this war is also the fact that no one has now doubt that ukrainians are a nation, they are a nation, and ukraine is a state. in other words, this is exactly what putin was talking about to prove that there is no such nation. there is no such people , and that's it. well, for us, these are obvious things, but they may not have been obvious for the rest of the world. do you remember how in the 90s, in fact, everyone said ukraine, where is this, who is this, and so on. well, that is, this war finally puts the dots on the question, now it becomes different, are the russians a nation, for example, is russia

a national state that has future prospects for existence itself is and this is also one of the reasons for this war, as far as i am concerned, serhii zgurets, a military expert of the defense express electric company, is with us, mr. serhiu good morning, good morning, fiberglass plant, chemical non-standard equipment plant, the head of luhansk gave a morning address. north donetsk, shelling factories but here we also have interesting news based on the results of the last day from the enemy camp, the novoshakhty oil refinery was hit by a drone a kamikaze in the russian city of novoshakhtinsk in the rostov region was hit by a

car-refining plant, as a result of which a large-scale fire started. and this is exactly what the defense publication writes about - this is express, based on the video that is spreading on the network, the kamikaze drone carried out the drone, which spoke precisely on the rectifier-rectifier a column of a critically explosive part of the enterprise with an information bomb, a video is also being spread and it says oops again, i will not disperse the cotton, for some reason the novoshakhty oil refinery owned by viktor medvedchuk is on fire, what can we do in more detail does not belong to medvedchuk but i wonder what exactly the drones were, by the way, there is a certain discussion there, someone says that they are generally ukrainian-made drones there for a couple of thousand bucks o interesting well, we can ask serhiy zgurets about that for sure p serhii, please share your evaluations of what it is for the mysterious kamikaze drone, we should note that in the video from the factory workers in rostov region, the following can be heard: it's a drone hee-hee-hee

- it's not ukrainian. no, of course he's taking a dive, then they're cursing in russian. what can we say about this event? well, we can really say that this is a continuation of our strategy of destroying energy facilities on the territory of the russian federation or in those areas where our facilities are located when we talk about gas production sites in the black sea and this there is a plant located 15 km from the ukrainian border, but directly to this oil refinery, in general, about 150 km, and the plane that made this flight and the impression of this object itself. ukrainian company because we called several companies that potentially had

something to do with the creation of drones with such a radius of action, this is in particular a ukrainian company that manufactures pd-1-pd-2. they said that we do not need a miracle. glory is not on or a drone and yesterday we had a conversation with a company from skyton that manufactures a ss3 drone that is capable of flying at a range of 2000 km. they said that in fact it is also not their system, but a range of 150 km , according to them, is not critical and unattainable. in fact, something else that could be organized with the help of a commercial, the same chinese without a more protected and reliable control system and to provide there some kind of shock component, some kind of shock combat unit, which was probably done in the case of an attack on a russian oil refinery, but here are two conclusions for the first time or if he really overcame 150 km e-e over the territory occupied by the enemy

air defense system and wedged another 15 km into russian territory without any reaction of the system of the russian federation. that is, it speaks of or the low efficiency of the system in the russian federation or the inability to see such small-sized unmanned aerial vehicles, which our developers actually confirmed that it is really difficult to spot such small aircraft as a means of air defense, and at the same time we can say that this is an example of the use of commercial technologies widespread there in particular, already drones that can be purchased on the same aliexpress and their equipment with technological solutions that are currently available from low-ukrainian companies. please tell me where about these strikes on the island the snake is the russian ministry of defense, uh, they gave very active things like the fact that a million rockets flew there from

the side of ukraine, they are not exaggerating a bit, of course , all the air forces there, which they allegedly shot down 100 times 100 times. that, in principle, it is also impossible even within the radius, but all this was destroyed and shot down during the approach flights, that is, what actually happened during the shelling of the snake well, in fact, i also wanted to know the full amount of information because so far we are receiving a dosed information from the command of the south, where it was said that it was destroyed, a complex attack was carried out by means of impression on zmiiny island, it is located 35 km from the coast, this means that to strike, you can use either point lobo systems, volley fire systems, there are hurricanes and tornadoes as a result of these strikes, military objects were destroyed, there were, let's say

, two air defense complexes there, other systems, in particular, gra systems, there were three hail launchers that can fire targets at a distance of up to 40 km, that is, another militarization of the snake just took place. and now we see that today there was also a message from the command of the south, talking about the fact that there we destroyed armor and other samples, that is , information about which samples were placed is starting to be shown on the snake, i think that it will continue in the future, because yesterday was the statement of the head of the gur, budanov, who said that we will destroy the targets for a change or as much as is necessary to ensure safety of shipping in the northwestern part of the black sea for both the military and civilians, he also said that ukraine is the control of

some short-term perspectives. gives well er you give what is better for you that we are now implementing the concept of er banning access to enemy ships and enemy influence on the area at least there with a width of 120 km relying there on the capabilities of the same anti-ship complexes er first of all harpoon and the complete de-metalization of the serpentine does not give the russians the opportunity, i repeat, to control this area in the southern and northern part of the black sea and minimizes the risks of landings in the southern-buzka direction, which in principle remains one of the possible actions of the russian federation, so i think that the changes are just is a sign of the implementation of the strategy of denying the access of enemy forces to this area of ​​the black sea, mr. serhiu

, today is exactly four months of the actual full-scale war of russia against ukraine. tomorrow the fifth will go like this today 23:00 tomorrow 24 actually i would like to hear your assessment of the situation on the eastern front, and in general, we are increasingly hearing from different sides these days about the scenario of a long-term war, in particular, the press secretary of vladimir putin, dmytro piskov, stated this the other day, at the same time, general of the armed forces of ukraine marchenko says that if we get enough weapons with our territories free until the end of the summer, well, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, how does the development of the situation look like in the near future through your eyes, please? well, actually, four months have already passed. the first stage of large-scale self-intervention in all directions, then, starting from the 18th and 19th of

april, the transition to the so-called second phase of the hostilities, where the enemy concentrated his efforts primarily on the hostilities in donbas and attempts to enter the administrative border of the luhansk and donetsk regions and to ensure control over the southern corridor of our country today. the main focus is indeed here, but we see that these ambitions have significantly decreased to the area of ​​donbass only, and we see that actually a himself is now approaching you with combat actions directly behind donetsk and hryansk, where i am , hostilities have been going on for several weeks where the enemy is trying to capture these towns, which suggests that the conduct of offensive operations for the enemy is quite complicated due to the lack of personnel , but the superiority in artillery. now we

are talking about the fact that around the north donets ivchan region there is fighting going on and so far the nearest goal of the enemy is to directly capture at least these two cities, which is actually quite difficult. at the same time, we are talking about the fact that the military power of the russian federation in terms of artillery remains quite significant, and therefore we need to make a bet on the one hand to increase our tower, but first of all i will talk about the training of the reserves and that is, we usually talk about let's give us weapons, it will be done, but it is necessary to have trained reserves that really provide us with parity with the russian federation , because now such a situation is paradoxical: the enemy has equipment, but there is not enough personnel to form new units, while we have personnel and there is a lack of equipment, if i think that due to not quickly

providing military aid from the west, we will be able to turn the situation around mentally speaking, now the time indicators when can we proceed to a counteroffensive this question worries everyone, but i think she is saying whether it is difficult here to be honest, to predict i think that the question is really but in august and september it was rising and earlier, in particular, the process of its time. if you remember, i told the already mentioned mr. budanov that from september we will be able to ensure a break there, now other officials are talking about this the person of the military department, but everything will depend, i repeat, on two factors, e-e, the number of training personnel, that is, the availability of weapons reserves and the right place to choose our counter-offensive operations, taking into account where we should achieve maximum success and how we generally perceive the image of our victory with in view

of the conduct of such counteroffensive operations, but i would like to clarify the problems with the personnel of the enemy separately, as possible, what means can be resorted to by the leadership of the aggressor country for solution to this problem we are hearing scenarios voiced by uh, british prime minister boris johnson uh, that putin might still resort to uh, general mobilization in russia. do you have uh, information about signs that something something similar is being prepared. and in your opinion, is it possible in the near future? sergey, i think that most of the time chic large-scale mobilization is not impossible, because now the russian federation has chosen a different strategy. who are involved in hostilities on the territory of ukraine 100 60 000 and in fact, in the previous period of 4

months, the most capable personnel of all parts of the ground air force and so on were destroyed. reservists, contract workers, volunteers, and so on, but when we see the pace of training of these people, they will take, relatively speaking, from a week to 10 days, and so far it is the most if we are talking about the amount that russia can add now it is said that the training of the so -called reserve battalions there has been completed. and what was announced from may 11 to june 11, in principle, they were supposed to prepare about 70 reserve battalions, that is, if there are, relatively speaking, to take the number of the battalion there, not less than 500 people, as it was

earlier, and there were 400, so the only thing is that they can prepare plus 20,000, and there is still one corps being formed, they have 15,000, which is located there in the moscow region. it should be completed by september 15th. 15,000 that is actually us we are talking about the fact that in the course of two months, the number of personnel can be increased by another 30,000 , which in fact, due to the low quality of training of the personnel, does not make changes on the battlefield, and so for a long time, from the point of view of the personnel , we have enough strength to have a quantitative advantage but now we have qualitative opportunities from the point of view of our weapons and the preparation of our e-e reserves of conducting a large-scale mobilization in russia, it is primarily possible due to political factors because it is possible to say let me say that in the internal space of russia, it is said that there are no problems with conducting a special operation

in ukraine, so conducting a large-scale mobilization now destroys this conventional legend under which the entire company in russia pansy is now being conducted, there is little time left, and there are many questions. why then, for example, it is painful to see when they show some losses of the ukrainian troops, and the other day a video was released showing the destruction of at least one 777th howitzer, three axes, we understand that there are more of them hundreds at the front. they are literally being hunted, but this is actualized again by the question in the interview with taras why, why, as the head of the fund, come back alive , what is the main question, how much, how does the young person formulate it, whether, uh, what, understanding that we also bear losses and the russians are bearing losses eh, or the speed

of replenishment of this latest modern eh long- range precision artillery weapon, it allows us eh to keep parity well, without telling you who ends faster in these artillery duels, that is the question well, during the period of hostilities and by kolmor about art systems, we lost about 700 units in total, you lost the same number, the russian federation now our attention is focused on the fact that it seems that we lost several samples of the howitzer m37. i think that this is completely correct information. but why is this happening because, well the best ones are now on the front, we will critically close the direction, there is a lack of artillery, and in fact, part of the guns located on the border are really immediately thrown into battle to minimize this russian influence, because when you see the appeal of our soldiers in separate

directions where it is said that the enemy was attacking and firing there he buckwheat six shots and we alone or vice versa there are 10 of this enemy 1:0 and we need art support, then i think that right now the use of artillery in any format and time, we are approaching the same distances at which the fire and the enemy lead, that is, the same 20 km, probably 3 sevens are used there, 20 km. that we must defend our forces when we we are talking about an advantage in range and in the point , such indicators really exist. but, as i understand it, now we only partially use these advantages in relation to the most massive howitzers of the m37ka, because we

hope that such howitzers will continue to arrive. and when we talk about counter-battery combat there, when we talk about the french caesars or pzsh, we really need to treat them much more carefully than howitzers and three sevens, because they can really provide high- quality counter-battery combat, but when we we are talking about howitzers, let me remind you that i hear a lot of requests from our artillery brigades to increase the number of unmanned systems on the equipment of our brigades, because it is the art systems that ensure the detection of enemy bodies, if we are partially blind with the detection of enemy targets , then there are advantages in accuracy howitzers , they don't worry if it is known that the palace complex must be approached to carry out the fight, well, there are many questions left, but then we will postpone them until tomorrow with

your permission, especially maria air trivok has been turned on now, it has already been turned off, so we ask those who are in lviv region to call the shelter again. we thank serhiy zgurts from the military expert defense express and right now there is a moment of silence on espresso for all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war, for civilians, for our soldiers, in memory of we mourn and honor with a minute of silence we honor with a minute of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by russia
