but the situation regarding a possible offensive. i will ask because you always need to know what is going on there, what changes are taking place . perhaps something is changing in the russians, they are already pushing towards kharkiv, for example, please, well, how would there be an attack, but the main mass is in the direction of donetsk, this is the entire occupied territory this is such a uspensky district eh from the side of the raisin to the extent that people are dying, it hurts, because houses will be rebuilt sooner or later, better early, but people are dying, and the infrastructure and life of the city are basically being destroyed, and autumn will be coming soon, and the heating season will be and will have to be to heat water and give gas, how

is the situation here, are there any threats that certain networks may be interrupted, damage is also with the northern neighbors a threat есть всегда вот это может быть at any moment but not сейчас thank god water is er-er electricity supply is er-er slava gas to god, too, that's why the city lives, eh, in such conditions, which are sajjaj esce, thank you very much. once again, hello, sincere condolences from me. i think so from this espresso tv channel. because you have people dying not only in kharkiv, but it really hurts andrii ivanov thank you for being with us, a city council member and a volunteer, today in kharkiv three people died on the street, people were just walking there or going somewhere on business, six in the house, and this every day, every day every night and again for 40 seconds, this rocket goes from

belgorod, well, that is, imagine you are on the 10th floor, for example. yes, or on the ninth floor, they ran down . well, so far, they ran all 40 seconds, that's 10 minutes, 15, it's actually people in us here we will now add to the work to the conversation petro okhotin, a political technologist of the armed forces of ukraine, he is in the luhansk region. now we will also talk about the situation in the luhansk region op petro already saw you, congratulations, glad to see and hear you mr. petro i have two questions , but i will start anyway after all, luhansk is from the war a small section of this region is still being held there. now it is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine. what is the situation as of the evening of this day? has the enemy not reduced its strength, so to speak, the revolutions of this military vehicle in the battle of luhansk oblast? well, i am already. good evening first of all i have already said that

according to the results of radio intercepts, the russian military supports them, but there are two of them from the so-called dnr who act with a company for the russian troops, because i am there more than even my luck, and their happiness pushes those people forward and forward and forward and if we have russian telegram cases, then in principle they do not even hide in the fact that there will be many millions of heroes of data for the energy of the lpr killed in this war, therefore of course now they are starting to make such offensives. western armed partners have been talked about for a long time, and what did they expect, psychologically, because first of all the parties will have people who fight against ukraine, but also the whole, and this is actually inspiring and

glad, is there any information about how people live in those well, we are not talking about the entire luhansk region, we are talking about the settlements that you have recently captured, otsievrodonetsk, but lysychansk or the enemy, you don’t care how someone spelled it correctly, who forgot who ? by the way, he will also say that the enemy is passing through the desert due to the destruction of the city, he does not care what is left there, they took the territory, there is a korda, you know, well, they all entered the territory and are grazing horses, what is the situation humanitarian there from what you know. well, if it is not known, then let’s move on, please. in fact, i see how, in particular, those people live in belgorodka who have stayed and see that the russian federation is leaving behind , and there are such technical youth. about 60

people. that is, there were 90 people who agreed that they did not pay attention to it. the premises of ukrposhta in biloghirya are usually ukrposhta in such villages. this is not a place of social activity. they communicate. people are now running around, such dogs are hungry . delivered to russia, mr. peter, i was thinking of you about one thing. yes, i would like to ask you about one domestic political thing, but it won't happen. i 'll talk later, maybe with the guests. if you can, literally 30 seconds, the question is, you know, the fighters sacrificed their lives, health, time, strength, uh,

lost their brothers in the battles for severodonetsk and lysychansk. now we have left, what are the moods of the soldiers ? they are fighting for their country, for their land, for their loved ones. they know what they are fighting for, but in principle, understand, we will return, we will come, we understand. why was it? why were there such losses? why was there such a terrible battle and now we are not in these cities, but we understand why or what kind of conversations are there, please ? look, in principle, the main thing in such things when there is a war is trust in the higher command of ukraine . the federation does not have salary orders here. it is precisely what ukraine conducted that allowed me to keep it on the ukrainian soldiers. that they are simply not thrown into the climate about the second world war against unmarried people in jackets will not turn away people with frills pawing mikhalkov's films about the soviet and it seems to me that this is very important for our goals

responds to ours thank you very much take care of yourself and may god protect you and your fellow citizens and grow old in this battle petro willing political technologist military serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine from the luhansk region now one of the largest media owners of ukraine well, there you have to get rid of your media assets and here we are, one of the largest media owners renat leonidoch akhmetov is transferring his media to the state well, i say oligarch they can't sell it because it's unprofitable. as they say, it's unreasonable now, well, play around, you own it, and very interesting stories are starting there, in fact, there are already answers from the whole president, we'll talk about it later, but so that you understand that this is another story that is starting now in the country, and i am very i wanted it not to start because we now have to have stories on the fronts, that is, about the fronts. by the way, deo to buy the south, such an order was

given to the military by the supreme commander-in-chief, president of our country volodymyr zelenskyi about this the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, told the british newspaper the times for this, our country is gathering millions of combat forces equipped with western weapons, according to reznikov, zelenskyi ordered the military to retake the occupied coastal areas, which are of vital importance for the country's economy, and this is exactly what my colleague serhiy zgurets will talk about now i don't understand something at all, we have a million-strong military force, so far the state will defend around a million people, well, not all of them are at the front, that's what oleksiy danilov said, there are a million that's interesting, let's listen to it together serhiy zgurets , director of defense express, host of the column, military summaries of the day, serhiy will tell us about it, please. razniakov, er, s- regarding the implementation of zelensky's instructions

regarding the preparation of the offensive in the south, you said that we know how, that politically it is very necessary for the country, the president instructed in the highest military the leadership to develop a plan after that, the general staff says that it is necessary to achieve this goal, points , and there would be you, as he says, different countries and i write letters to colleagues about what we need, the generals say what we need, i am trying to get it and actually this is what he describes a journalist from the times publication , in fact, as far as i’m concerned, this is not the first time that a ukrainian offensive plan has been announced or declared through a foreign publication, and i thought that it was possible for different people to describe some general form without detailing, and the journalists actually put it like this preparation for the plan, but at the same time we know that there is a direct appeal from prime minister iryna vereshchuk, which calls on residents of the occupied areas of the kherson zaporizhzhya region

to evacuate with all possible means, because we must look for opportunities to leave because our armed forces will occupy these zone and there will be huge battles, says the vice-prime minister, that is, in fact, ukrainian speakers veiledly say that a major offensive in the kherson direction is about to begin, and therefore the local residents have to take security measures, but on the other hand, from the point of view of the general staff, if we look at the general staff, there is no mention of any such drastic progress in the direction of kherson, and there is no information about it from foreign analysts who draw maps or draw conclusions there they are talking about what we are talking about, let's say tactical actions from both countries and from both sides, which are aimed at obtaining certain tactical advantages, if we

are talking directly about our successes, then in recent weeks we can mention that the ukrainian army freed from the occupiers such cities like potemkin in kherson region, there were reports of the liberation of settlements there green periwinkle grove - this is in the direction of chernobaivka, they were talking about myrne ivanivka settlements by the way, about ivanivka, today just 60 separate infantry brigade said that they liberated ivanivka from the occupiers from the russians of the occupiers, you are left with only destroyed equipment, but ivanivka is mentioned not for the first time, which actually means that it passed from year to year precisely in view of the fact that hostilities are conducted on local sections and sections, but in general, this zone of the kherson region is quite difficult from the point of view of conducting open battles, and it has been used there, so far there is aviation and artillery again, when we talk about the use of

aviation, today, by the way, a pair of stormtroopers just destroyed point e of the russian artillery brigade, which was just located in the kherson region, that is, the ukrainian troops continue to gradually push out the enemy in those areas where it is possible, while the enemy, in turn, tries to increase the number personnel of the equipment in the directions where our separate offensives are possible, in particular, it was mentioned that the enemy is pulling up the equipment directly in the kherson direction, while the kherson direction itself, if we are talking about the expected offensive, then it looks quite tempting from the point of view of the possibilities , because there, this length of the front is 250 km, there are 13 enemy battalion tactical groups with sufficiently

large gaps to conduct such a defense, and uh, on the right bank of the dnieper, where the kherson grouping is located, there are actually logistical traps these are directly only two bridges behind which the enemy can carry out the provision of these his e-e parts, this is directly the bridge near nova kakhovka and the antoniv bridge, and of course that is why there is such a theoretical temptation to form two shock groups from fresh brigades from the ukrainian side, one should go directly there to kherson and receive kherson, and another group should operate there directly from zaporozhye to melitopol, but these are the conclusions we make theoretically by looking at the map and when we are not responsible for how will this operation end, and we are not responsible for the risks associated with the life of every soldier who takes part in such an operation, of course the question arises whether we can, what is needed in order to

carry out any large-scale offensives, first of all , we need to have enough forces and means of various collectives about the fact that we need to have a million-strong group, in fact today in the armed forces there are 700,000 personnel under mobilization, this actually means that we need to get another 300,000. but why are there millions of groups honestly i can't say, because it's not the number that determines the main parameter of success on the battlefield, the main thing is the training of these units, the coherence of the equipment of these units and a reasonable rational plan for the liberation of this or that territory, of course we will not. if you liberate kherson - you the means that russia uses when it is occupied and tries to occupy places . that is, we need a reasonable technological plan for conducting hostilities, and here we rely directly on weapons, because on the current at this stage, i believe that today we do not have such

strong opportunities and prerequisites to carry out large-scale offensive actions in the south in a short period of time, because one way or another we are tied to the situation that is developing today in the donbass directly with those actions that today are connected with the stabilization of the front line, if i think that the actual preparation for the offensive is possible only at the expense of timely receipt of foreign aid. to wait and use this foreign aid for the preparation of offensive groups, so i think that this is a political desire to carry out a large-scale offensive, it should focus on specific opportunities, first of all, i think that the general staff will make the right conclusions when exactly it is necessary to start an offensive operation. of course, this

will be done in time and mysteriously without an announcement in foreign publications in the times or other e-e deletions if i think we will wait for this offensive, but it should be successful and timely together however, the enemy at the front is beginning to surprise us more and more, because lately we have mentioned russian tanks, two are written about mt-lbs that are transferred to ukraine from russian bases, but just a few days ago there were reports that uh, for strikes on kherson and mykolaiv, the enemy used s300 anti-aircraft missile systems for the first time, according to foreign experts, this means that actually it is like hammering

nails with a microscope, what in general prompts the enemy to take such actions. uses anti-aircraft missiles to strike ground targets, to understand this, we invited a respected expert, a person who is good at this, he is a retired general, and romanenko, a doctor of technical sciences, who at one time was on the path of his career, one of the options for his career it was that he led the anti-aircraft missile brigade that defended kyiv from an air attack mr. igor i congratulate you , the first question is whether the enemy really uses the s300 to strike ground targets and is it technically possible at all technically possible no only on the tape complex, on a number of other e complexes, this technical was laid for the purpose

of protection if the enemy were to destroy the complex on land, that is, the idea was this, and also everything that is absolutely necessary is clear that the first purpose of using an anti-aircraft missile complex is the destruction of air targets but if there is an opportunity to strike on the ground and also on surface targets , then such i would say universalism manifests itself, although relative to the situation you have proven if it really happened. and there is also a basis for this is that apparently back in the 19th year, the russians conducted tests regarding the application of this complex in this way. yes, with the addition of e-e as

an addition, there was the application of installing devices that will use e-e navigation, gps navigation, and what should have been to increase the accuracy of hitting the anti-aircraft missile complex with an anti-aircraft missile in the ground salt. therefore, we need to deal with this, but in addition, i agree with you regarding what it says about the fact that modern missiles are more accurate than those in the russian armed forces the forces of the russian federation were left until their number decreased and they are looking for different ways to maintain at least

some level of damage to the target in this so -called special operation in relation to the armed forces of ukraine. at what range can the s300 use its missiles? for striking ground targets, why am i asking if it is better there 20 30 or 40 km this means that such an expensive complex at such a short distance we can destroy the impressions that in we are exactly as you say, so it is preliminary because we have information, but look at what they are doing, it is not so much military, well, how do they generally conduct their propaganda activities? and how does the rocket fly, which now shows

a completely different trajectory than it should be and that's why they use it in order to and why are they shelling our cities, villages, settlements of civilians to undermine the moral and psychological stability of our people in order to uh, accordingly, uh, they put pressure on their military and political leadership in order to legitimize, legitimize , and capture what they are bees at the current time, why is putin not willing to start negotiations in exactly such a situation, which the people of ukraine and the leadership categorically do not agree with, and therefore we will, on the one hand , carry out defensive actions in the east in the eastern operational zone, where there are very heavy battles around the slavyansk kramatorsk bakhmut, and on the other hand,

according to the decision taken by the supreme command yesterday, we will prepare a code for offensive actions in the kherson region direction, but i will return to the technical parameters , in fact, with these expensive s-300 missiles, is the enemy the same as with the old x22 missiles , that is, he cannot hit any target, he just shoots in the direction of the city. and this is actually the purpose of these this is how the s-300 works in this format, yes , i also paid attention to the fact that the accuracy is weak when used in this way, so they are using it in violation of the rules of warfare and in violation of international law against the civilian population. of our cities and settlements, at one time you led a brigade that defended kyiv, now we expect that

norwegian-american complexes will come to us suddenly, the question arises. how many complexes do we really need to guarantee the protection of kyiv from air attacks and, most importantly, to protect bridges as well which can be under the attack of the enemy, how many of them are needed, such a principle is impossible at all, taking into account mastiffs, for example, you look at at least a regional center, at least a nuclear power station, that is, we have such a number in the near future it will definitely not happen, i should have read, well, hundreds of complexes. and we have these, god willing, we are recruiting - let's say a few dozen, and in general, we see that it will come in the near future, one or two or three steps must definitely be taken, because the president spoke about these complexes which, by the way, if this will be the last modernization, then they will have anti-missile capabilities, that is, destructive,

for example, ballistic missiles from the cander, and this is very important. and this is very good, although it depends on what missiles will be provided, the range and these complexes are significantly expanded in height, that is, at first they were at heights of up to 12 and 14 km from a range of up to 20. you later expanded 20 in height to 40 compliance . talk about tens or more than a hundred kilometers, well, let's see how it will turn out, it's important that they arrive and you can prepare , well, that is, it is already being prepared, our staff is preparing to use them, and it is very

important to prepare as much as possible because, well, the germans they also promise this iris, but unfortunately it does not have anti-missile capabilities. this is a modern complex , but most likely it is for dynamic targets, it is a cruise missile, it is very important, and anti-missile is the ability to destroy ballistic targets, at least not such as there are viskander, unfortunately, has not grown out of it. well, one way or another, it increases our capabilities by saying that somewhere there, spare parts may help with our fighter in slovakia. modernized mig-29s, which are also capable of

destroying the ships with the appropriate missiles and cruise missiles in flight, but the question is not about football, at the same time, it is to calm down our kyivans , or today are the complexes that cover our capital there, and the s300 beechs, are they capable to protect the key facilities in our capital , including bridges, or what is the possibility with the armed forces that we have today well, first of all, i wanted to say as an expert that against the anti-robbery attack and the anti-missile attack, the truth is that no system in the world, including an iron one bought in israel for a male guarding the skies over washington and any of peter's latest modifications of his own actions, will not be able to destroy all air prices, this is clearly theoretical and practical

tested and proven so that there treated to give incorrect information, i simply cannot professionally, but on the other hand, definitely we must make the greatest effort in order to increase the capabilities for e-e destruction of air targets, not including perhaps, first of all, missiles because in the last free of regional events that took place, the main thing is that we see and take part in fighting such strong opponents in 14-15 years, especially now that the share of the use of missiles is increasing and the weight is increasing, and therefore we seriously need to engage in the development of anti-aircraft defense and its separate direction of anti-missile defense that it is being done, but we would definitely

like more modern complexes or the same ones that we have, we are restoring them, we are repairing them, and the president of the united states of america said that he will go to the middle east and look for soviet equipment there, which we we can quickly put it into action, but this is the future, and for now we have what we have. thank you for these detailed and truthful explanations of the situation. i will remind our viewers that it was ihor romanenko, a retired general and a doctor of technical sciences. we can now talk about what is really a threat the air force exists, but we are taking measures to minimize all these risks, help from the american side from other countries will help us do this, but in any case, we put the main emphasis on the fact that our armed forces will fight the enemy

forces and in fact we believe in our victory er vasyl i give you the word for further work thank you very much serhiy zgurets director of defense express and host of the column military summaries of the day talked about what is happening now on its fronts and what equipment we will possess well and about the offensive to the south what is most important is that we understand that the south should be returned as it was lost there. that is another question. the relevant authorities will sort it out someday. we believe in it, but in any case we know that it was a huge group and even if there something was mined. well, it is unlikely that this stopped the enemy so much, his huge armada, which boasted from the crimea. well, but what does he say about the south? said that we have to return the people and the territory and the economic opportunities of our

country because we understand that we have to send our goods and grain, which is now needed in many countries of the world in the countries of the world well, there is also a need for us to have currency for this grain, now we definitely will not have a statement. well, plus, besides grain, there is also another metal product, iron ore. well, what are we there, that's all we send. that's all we have to trade somehow because you know as they said in the national bank of ukraine that we need to think about how to fill the budget not only by printing the hryvnia, we have to understand the situation we live in now, we print the hryvnia well, that's why it exists but we have to earn it somehow, of course, help will come to ukraine but you know the help it is also not infinite, but i was talking about the south , president erdogan, the president of the republic of turkey, recep perdogan, talked with putin and talked
