, four months, that's how long the russian federation's full-scale invasion of the territory has been going on ukraine is already more than a long russo-finnish war, and at the beginning of february, many people equated this confrontation, which began on the territory of ukraine in the format of a full-scale invasion, with this war, and now many have a clear understanding that this war will last a long time and we need to talk about it it is necessary to prepare for this as well as for our victory, which will certainly be good evening. this project says the great lviv. glory to ukraine, we say to you heroes, glory to all those who defend us on the eastern borders of ukraine and who gave their lives for us and for ukraine before we will present the guests in our studio, we want to let all our viewers listen to an extract from

an important address of president zelensky at the beginning of the week when he said that this particular week a should be very important and even historic, we are listening to the president, a historic day, a week when we hear response from the european union on the status of an applicant for ukraine already an almost positive decision of the european commission , it is obvious that marta expected from russia an increase in hostile activity specifically showed this week and not only against ukraine they want we will definitely worsen the sleeping situation and we will respond to this and we can already see the flour activity just today in lviv, the alarm sirens have already sounded twice, and we hope that we will be able to conduct this broadcast in the studio, but in the event that we can also go down to the shelter, we have it here that's why it's on the

air. studios cyborgs people's deputy of ukraine unity justice mykola knyazhytskyi people's deputy of ukraine european solidarity ivan who is with us chairman of the reservist council of the command of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine we congratulate you glory to ukraine military expert mykhailo tsimbalyuk with us retired lieutenant general of the militia people's deputy of ukraine from the all-ukrainian ob the unity of the homeland good health oleksiy kravchuk peacetime we presented to you first of all as the director and artistic director of the theater and people and we still have dolls, but now, first of all, you are a serviceman. we can already say that the legendary 80th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine is with us

, volodymyr hirnyak, head of the civic position party. good evening to you, volodymyr. we started with important quotes, and before we continue the discussion in our studio, let's see the main quote today belongs to oleksiy reznikova, the minister of defense of ukraine. such long-awaited himasters may not be pronounced correctly, but they are reactive weapons systems i am always the first to say now, the rocket launcher systems are so beautiful. let us already be in ukraine , mr. reznikov says. thank you to my american colleague and friend, the minister of defense, lloyd austin, for these powerful tools. the summer will be hot for the russian invaders and, importantly, the last for some of them. here we see this quote reznikova really waited for a very long time and discussed for a very long time about the long-range artillery that was expected in

ukraine which is so important for our future victory so let's give the first word p tymochko four months, this fourth month became, in our subjective view, important from the point of view that the majority of ukrainians began to realistically understand what is happening, that there will be no victory in a week , in two days, in three, as you remember in the first week of the war we have often been told by the majority of ukrainians now , and this is evidenced by polls, they are ready for a protracted war, what are your results for the fourth month, which has essentially already passed, if we take into account the situation as a whole, what is happening in our country, we can say that there are no plans and no corrections carried out by russia in their plans. it did not happen because we know that it is extreme. they had a task until june 26 to liberate, as they imagine

, in fact, occupy the territory of the luhansk region . borders in this regard. to what extent are people now ready to accept the situation, this is probably primarily due to both the military and our journalists as well as politicians who actually started to express their opinion society and prepare society for a protracted war. and the actual transition of the economy, as we see it , as of today, we can say that we have huge losses in the economy, but we do not have inflation, and we hope, we have a very high hope that in just two weeks, russia will receive a technical defoe, we can talk about the war, about a small victory or about a big victory actually

on the economic front, because we understand that in the modern period, modern challenges were armed and adjusted by struggle - this is only one of the episodes and there is a political and there is an economic war, which we may not be so good, we succeed beautifully in public, but we win it, but at least we have significant successes, if we take into account the actual line where the battles are taking place, we can say that if in one in some places, territories, we have battles and somewhere , after all, we have to withdraw troops . moreover, i emphasize the fact that withdrawal does not have any encirclements. well, if we withdraw troops, it happens technically, it happens systematically without large losses, because we understand that if our fighters fell into polonne en masse, it was necessarily russian propaganda that spread it, so it is. of course

, its dead fall. that both in the kharkiv direction and in the kherson direction, our troops are having successes that russia cannot even deny, and probably this week has become quite interesting for us because there have been many explosions on the territory of russia itself their border territories, but not there within 50 km, and we see 60 and further 100 km, they are already suffering serious losses, and as far as i remember - i am not mistaken, today they announced that there was cotton at a hydroelectric power plant in the depths of russia, this is an indicator of what is visible they don't know how to smoke well but i wanted to clarify with you because there are many different opinions about yesterday's entry into the oil refinery there, uh, a drone got into it, and

there is a version that it is a chinese drone that you can buy there on aliexpress for $10,000, it's not a small amount, but it's not a million-dollar weapon. and there's even a version that it was a ukrainian -made drone. that is, what did they get into, not what did they get into ? i would not rush to draw conclusions and indicate what actually happened because we only have short videos. we currently do not have any from the official announcement. we do not know whether it was just a byraktor or was also controlled, for example, it will explode directly at the station itself let's take into account what kind of fire happened there later according to the video. it's definitely not one drone that did it, but let 's wait for the official conclusion, and as far as i know, more than a kilometer of pipes are burning there, that is, it's not just there, conventionally speaking, that it hit the tower or hit some local object the object that can be paid off ends there, we understand that the

whole system is out of order, this is the same situation that is happening in the black sea with boyka's towers, well, he said, of course, it is very difficult to call them boyka's towers, because they certainly have their own function oil production was carried out by a percentage of 10 to 20 , in fact, these were very good electronic warfare radio stations and there how do we know that there were three times more military than civilians, although again the question is very who are you civilians, they were high-class specialists and we know what to say that now we should pay attention only to the land front, on land, we should look deep into the black sea, because this is actually where the russians had a very significant advantage until recently, let's look briefly at these four months and after it we immediately return to the studio knyazhytsky pan once again and we will already have

guests and the site also ends the fourth month of the war, the armed forces of ukraine liberated from the russian invaders more than a thousand settlements , but more than 3,500 ukrainian cities, both large and small, donetsk, luhansk, kharkiv, kherson and zaporizhzhia regions are still under the temporary occupation of the rashists , today the most difficult and hot spot on the front is the donbass, that is where russia actually dropped the main their forces to enter the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions in the near future russian troops will try to seize a-a severodonetsk and lysychansk a-a because they need an excuse in order for their command to announce the completion of the task of establishing control over the luhansk and donetsk regions or to withdraw on the

geographical borders of these regions in the south, in particular in the kherson region, the ukrainian army is conducting a counteroffensive . territories, the ukrainian military needs more weapons, kherson region, zaporizhzhia region, luhansk region, donetsk region, we will definitely liberate it, it is not even discussed, our guys who will go , they sincerely want to do it, we only need specific long-range artillery in full in order for it to be effective, well, they will do it all so only weapons, in general, in four months of indomitable struggle, almost 35,000 russian soldiers were eliminated, the summer

will be hot, as the minister of defense mykola also said knyazhytskyi, what are the main conclusions of these four months for you? what are your thoughts? well, first of all, ukrainians fight bravely, unfortunately, they fight . feeling all the shortcomings of the country's system, which did not prepare for war, sold weapons, which did not prepare an army, prepared only in the last years after the maidan after the revolution of dignity, and we see that we lack weapons, we lack artillery, er, there is a lack of projectiles with which to shoot, because at one time, warehouses with these projectiles exploded, er, because of course, this is a huge feat of ukrainians for of course, i am grateful to everyone who is at the front, who fights bravely, who carries out this operation, and i am amazed at the courage and courage of these people, but for me it is 4 months of losses, especially the last weeks, here i am and well,

somehow it happened and i think for each of us each of us knows may already now, many acquaintances have relatives from friends who died, in fact, every last week, a well-known kyiv activist, a young man, was buried at the town hall, we all remember him from the airwaves. we met there and he was born just then and i knew about his existence from his birth or er, artemiy dymed, the founder of the lviv theological academy, a priest, which later became the ukrainian catholic university, plastun or mykhailo gergelyuk - this is the son of a priest from upper yassnov from hutsul oblast, from that village where i often go, with whom i recently saw today, there is such a family of potyaks, er, fantastic people, yulia thanked her, she did scientific work with me in vincennes, she first had er, brothers and father father is at the front she is at the front brother is at the front and father's brother is at the front and oh bro
