ukraine, in addition, the green says that there is a continuing threat of missile and air strikes from the air on the territory of the ukrainian state from in the direction of the republic of belarus in the kharkiv direction , the russians are concentrating their main efforts on defense , while shelling the city of kharkiv in the black sea and azores sea zones of the russian naval group is concentrating their main efforts on blocking civilian shipping, while warships in the black sea threaten the territory of ukraine because they have four carriers of winged caliber sea-based missiles at the same time the russian occupiers continue to lose manpower as well as combat equipment on the territories of the ukrainian state at the beginning of the great war, the russians had already lost in ukraine 37,570 people, 1,649 tanks, 3,832 armored combat vehicles, 839

artillery systems, 247 rocket salvo systems, 109 air defense systems, 217 aircraft, 188 helicopters - 2,669 units of automotive equipment, 15 ships, boats, 155 cruise missiles, 6,768 drones units of special equipment suffered the greatest losses during the past day in the mykolaiv direction about the situation in the eastern south and also in on the northern front of ukraine, we will speak today with the colonel of the sbu, the natural deputy of ukraine roman kostenko, mr. roman, i welcome you on the air. i wish you good health and thank you for defending us from the russian invaders. good day . also in the east

of ukraine, more than 20 warehouses were destroyed, warehouses blew up in kadiivka, luhansk, nova kakhovka, the village of zavornoe in the kherson region, it is also reported about three warehouses that blew up in donetsk in connection with this, i have two questions for you, the first is whether these events are the beginning of the great breakthrough that we have been talking about for the past few months, that with the arrival of the equipment of western countries, the situation at the front will change. this is the first question, and the second is how quickly russia can recover after such strikes on warehouses, how important is the physical support that was destroyed during the last week, you know when you just listed the settlements in which, let's say yes, there were explosions, warehouses with ammunition were destroyed

you called such a charming village in the kherson region . i am from there. my parents' house is still there and , in particular, i know that the rashists were there and we know directly where they were, that's why we once again congratulate them and say that we will soon return all our lands and we are going to rebuild the castle because my entire childhood was spent there, exactly in these regions where i am , first of all, secondly, does this answer your question, is it the turning point, let's say so. where is the moment when we... they began to inflict parity of the enemy's blows, and in particular what we hear in the intercepts and see how the enemy reacts to this, the enemy is in control and it will be very difficult for him to restore these warehouses, considering that they were several months at the beginning of the war, and the same territory was occupied almost immediately there, they stockpiled these warehouses and they believed that they were unattainable for ukrainian artillery. but after

their impression, realizing that it is now difficult for the enemy to use the railway connection with crimea and the automobile pick-up of ammunition, i caused him very serious losses, and we feel it even in terms of artillery activity on the front edge of the mountains, it began to be used less and because they really lost a lot of their ammunition , so i will say that we cannot call this exactly a turning point in the war. i think it will look different when hundreds e-e warehouses there will already take off together with the enemy's equipment, but the fact that the e-e enemy already does not have such a 100% advantage, well, there is an advantage that was 100%. and we are working on this and further increasing our capabilities with the help of our partners and with the help of ours internal possibilities of the sentence of the kodei regional

military administration serhiy bratchuk says that as a result of the attack by the armed forces of ukraine on the base of the russian military in the occupied part of the kherson region on sunday, 150 russian soldiers were killed, including one general and more than five officers, in particular, major general nasabulin colonel kens and also about lieutenant colonel koval, colonel andrii horobets and the head of artillery of the 20th division, lieutenant colonel gordeev, in a word, very serious losses to the highest military leadership of the russian army, taking into account the losses suffered by the russian army, because at the beginning of a great war, we constantly talk about where is the border beyond which russia will be hurt for the lost soldiers, for the lost people, it is clear that they do not take care of each other and do not

think very much about not only about the dead whom they leave in ukraine and do not take away, but also about the living, and yet i will repeat this until our victory, this is a question and i hope that we will constantly talk about it, where is this border beyond which russia it will be painful for four months, four and a half months, where the war already has almost 38,000 dead, if you multiply it by 30, it is even more than 100,000 wounded, the higher military command is being destroyed, a lot of people are dying who took up arms and came to us to kill, where is the limit of 100 000,200,300,000 russian soldiers must die in order for russia to feel this, russia understood that this war is completely senseless and futile, the same war that was once waged by the soviet union against afghanistan,

which in 10 years took the lives of 15,000 people, you know a country that is guided exclusively by personal ambitions in international and domestic politics, it is difficult to say where they have a border directly they, too, are their russian chauvinism. it is familiar to everyone, and many countries of the world have already tried it on themselves, and now the russians are sending here not directly russians, but they are sending other nationalities that live deeper in the hinterlands of russia federations and let's say they are them they are considered to be of the second grade, and in terms of their destruction, let's say , they don't even raise any questions there, if people from moscow, from st. petersburg, from the

central regions of the russian federation were fighting now, it would be completely different, this border would come much sooner, because the russians are they understand it themselves. that's why they take other nationalities and other republics and just send them here as a muscle. therefore, let's say this, the barrier automatically increases for them. you can't say that there will be 40-50 thousand russians. and the russians will cross this line no, this is the first and, you know, they really have political ambitions right now, in the first place, because they came with the help of their army to show that it is one of the strongest in the world, as they called the second army of the world, to show that in order to play a significant role in the future and in international politics there at the international level in regional politics at the level of europe and wanted in two or three days there in a week to capture ukraine completely er-er and continue to conduct their policy regarding, say

, the influence and er-er er-er influence on the politics of other states it didn't work out for them, ukraine destroyed all their plans and now the main thing for them is not only the sacrifices that will fall behind their ambitions for their plans, but simply to achieve at least some kind of victory in order to show at least at the regional level, they will no longer show it all there is a big e-e among such world players that they can achieve some goals, but they have now set themselves a goal - this is donbas, this is what is left of their goals - this is that they can still accumulate there somewhere and their forces and means, little by little , advance in the south they are stopped from the north they expelled there are now standing our forces and means in the east they are pushing through with the help of uh, prevailing five times uh, five times uh, of their equipment and personnel, but they are also stopped

. putin himself saw that if it happened to the army, he gave the team on the run because a lot of forces were destroyed, they are starting to raise the reserves , they are already taking them where they can only be taken and at the base of the far east, where something else can be raised, so now answering your question, i think that the russians will go first to get victory for themselves and will not be counted as victims, but of course some kind of limit will come in the end and i am sure that every destroyed russian soldier and every destroyed russian equipment unit brings us closer to victory, well, it is about how and what the russians who came with weapons in their hands won let's go to ukraine now, because this video shows the burial of muscovites in russia, it was published in the telegram channel of anatoliy shtylyus, a set of soviet stamps, they defended the motherland, for

us, we should be worthy. to understand what price we stood wild currants more defended our freedom and that's why every breath remember the name of our soldiers, our guys, it's very painful to see off the last journey of our guys, 58 of them, today , well, we see this is pro-soviet rhetoric when, unfortunately, the ussr, we lived among people and sent different points of the world, then the zinc mushrooms returned, but you already mentioned that they are raking people from all over

russia into the army in the republic of adygea dolav wagner - this is a private military company, they are already recruiting prisoners, they are offered to sign a contract in exchange for a full amnesty, after which they are sent to a training ground in the krasnodar territory, there is also a small video plot , but we know that on july 15 there will be a special meeting of the state duma of the russian

federation and a meeting of the council of the russian federation. the russians , although already after the decisions made on february 22-23, when they announced the march to ukraine, it must be very strange to hear and generally hope that there will be some new ideas, they say that they can declare a full mobilization in the russian federation that they can officially declare war on ukraine. what path do you think putin and his associates will take, those who participate in this bloody war, it is quite likely that they can declare an e-e mobilization only because they see that they are not uh, well, they have a lot of resources, so when you talk about the loss of 37 there, we are talking about the killed, but they still have a hundred thousand people who are uh, wounded, and

in particular, seriously wounded, who are in the russian federation is being treated and they are also being relegated to the units and they need to be replenished with something, we see that at the beginning they were replenished there with the help of e-e mobilization in the ldr, they all e-e just grabbed them, e-e they just grabbed them on the streets, people were hiding, they raked them and they put the so-called quasi- republics in the ranks, then they started paying money to lure people into contracts, well, recently i also saw a video where they said that they were creating some new battalion of marines eh eh and before that we saw how they raised the age of sensory conditions up to 65 years if i am not mistaken, there is a new battalion there, they talk beautifully about it there, that these are those who want to go to defend the motherland, well, the russian homeland, and they are starting to pass. they

are recruited there, this indicates that these are the ones who are still being affected by the propaganda regarding the russian world there and regarding the soviet union, it was very good, but they are recruiting such people and that the youth no longer want to go there, those who were in the army. yes, but those who simply can't without mobilization. i'm sure it's also that they are picked up somewhere in the villages in the far east or through and from some republics so that the russians would talk less and there would be less tension within the state of the russian federation itself because they understand that what kind of propaganda was it, but everything will be the same when the mass graves go, when they will start to die, how do they consider such a higher caste to be their highest caste? therefore, it will be especially difficult to cope with this, so uh, i think that it is possible that they will announce a mobilization if they have already seen that they don't have the strength and means to go on. i

think that nato is attacking us in an ugly way. we have to resist nato. they started a war in ukraine, but nato came and we need everyone to stand up. the party is huge, so it is really realistic to announce it . i'm not sure about the war, because they still know it's still a play on words, the war is going on. but for them, they're trying to lower the stakes , like, you know. we haven't started yet in this format, that this is just a special operation . therefore i think war they may not declare it, but simply call for mobilization in order to, let 's say, resist the napa, because if they declare war, it will mean much more, including and er , including confrontation directly. well , other mechanisms within the state will take place which are not in the hands of the russian federation, i think, what does mass mobilization mean in the performance of russia, what does it mean

for russia, what does it mean for russia, and what does it mean for ukraine, for russia ? in your presidential decree, when mobilization is announced and the presidential decree is made, and it is determined which categories are called up, separate categories can be called up, for example, drivers, mechanics , tank drivers, or, for example, full mobilization is all personnel there who are of conscription age from 18 to 65 armies are simply called up and formed. well, brigades are formed. i think this will be done in order to replenish some units that have suffered heavy losses. i think this will be done in order to replenish some the military accounting specialties that they need are gunners, i think we are knocking out tankers , there are mechanics, drivers, those are the ones that need special specialization separately, not infantry, there is also possible infantry, and they will simply for this already determine

the categories which they will be, which they will call for, i i don't think that it will be a full uh million army. but i think that it will be partly to replenish what it will mean for ukraine. well, really. we must understand that it will be a more complicated story because the russians more troops will come here, but the plus point is that time is now playing in our favor, we already started mobilization at one time. yes, and we already have there now, some say 700, some say up to a million troops from the mobilized and who are already undergoing training, many of them are shooting already have combat experience, and the russians are those who are demobilized, these are people who will be taken from villages there, some towns there. they need to be trained, and the russians, as a rule , do not bother much with this, they immediately send them into battle. well, first of all, more fertilizer for our

ukrainian fields and well, the operational situation that needs to be responded to is more difficult, well, in general, a bigger enemy is more difficult. we will need to take this into account in our plans, but the mobilization of the enemy is always another challenge for us, but once again i say that uh, for the time being in our favor, because we have already done it and we are learning, if they are just starting to do it, it will take them a lot of time, well, what troops will come and we will have an advantage over them. there are about 1 million ukrainians in the army, and it is clear that mobilization in russia will obviously entail additional mobilization in ukraine. how many more people will need to be drafted into the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine in order to

resist ? of russia and the number of people in ukraine, because it is one in three somewhere or up to four, and yet how much more does the army need in order for us to feel confident on the northeastern and southern fronts, it is difficult answer this question why because it will depend on how many troops he can see from mobilizing the russian federation, we need to respond there too, now we have 700,000 e. of defense, he is like the minister of defense of the entire country, yes, there should be an understanding that the minister of defense is not the commander of the armed forces, we have a narrow command of the armed forces, although the minister of defense is responsible for defense and for the interaction between all components of the bodies that are responsible by therefore, maybe he means defense. i think so. all the security and defense forces are also the armed forces, the police, our intelligence, the security services of ukraine.

maybe it has more accurate information. the information is that it is already a million. my last figure is 700,000. literally recently, representatives of the armed forces said that is why it is more large-scale . maybe, mr. colonel, i will clarify that it is 1 million in various structures, that is, 700 border guards of the armed forces, 60 national guard of the white bridge speaks globally about these things, and that is why these are all structures and how much more we need. well, we we understand that the mobilization continues, no one canceled it. people, i myself was literally a few days ago at the military commissariat, watching how the mobilization was going. what are the problematic issues? remove a bit of bureaucracy, so we will respond exactly to how russia will, er, carry out this mobilization. i think in the future, but we are not stopping ours. well, here the question is another, that

you cannot win this war with soldiers alone, you have to with soldiers alone i mean, people alone need equipment, we can be a million-strong army, but we need equipment directly to protect those people, support them with fire, arm them correctly and train them and give them good experience and send them into battle because i many examples, er, many times i give examples that we can have 10,000 fighters with machine guns on this side, 100 tanks , a tank crew of three people is 300 soldiers in total, who have 100 tanks, and i will say who knows how a tank fires , they understand that it is very difficult even there several there thousands of fighters will be able to cope with those tanks, so they must understand that this is a missile artillery war, a modern technical war, and without equipment, especially to return territories, if in defense we can there and on our grenade launchers there, i do not rely on the courage of the soldiers in the trenches, then advance without

andriy's technique is completely unrealistic. by the way , polish defense minister mariusz blaszczak came yesterday and volodymyr zelenskyi, the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, announced that he had brought self-propelled crab howitzers and that poland would continue to will help ukraine in june, the polish mass media reported that they delivered more than 60 self-propelled guns to ukraine, and this is a self-propelled howitzer that is mounted on a tracked chassis and has a tower configuration up to 40 km away. uh, what other equipment is there now, mr. colonel, there is not enough at the front, i remember your phrase about the fact that the infantry can fight there until october at the most, as long as the weather permits, and then it is simply a war

of artillery and a war of heavy forces, which has oppose the russian federation, but i want to say a separate thank you to our neighbors, our brothers , the poles, yes, historically, we are now on the same side. they are based on south korean howitzers, considered to be one of the best in the world, very good howitzers and what they give us. feeling a threat, after all, they have threats from the russian federation, and belarus is trying to somehow hide there the russian federation is somewhere there to attract a nato country, well, that’s it. it’s all clowning, but what they give us, he would have played it. before that, tanks and grenade launchers were handed over, we use them. mosquitoes are quite uh, too, and accurate and light fighters,

others will also like them very much . the weapons that they provide to that uh, we see that they are poles uh, their leadership thinks quite strategically because, understanding in ukraine, it is impossible to lose, because the loss of ukraine is uh, god forbid, the start of uh, wars in other countries and the countries of the balkans and neighboring countries countries or russia's attempts to intimidate and return the sphere of influence, after all, these states understand that, like the rest of europe, they must further understand on a large scale, not somewhere locally, but on a large scale that while we are already fighting, we have already tied ourselves up. we have already prepared, so we ask weapons, weapons that will help us defeat the enemy, what specific weapons, yes, these are really self-propelled artillery installations that help us , especially those that hit, as you say, at 40 km and more

, having a barrel length of more than 50 calibers, very a good weapon that gives us the opportunity to destroy the enemy's artillery and suppress it. these are the same salvo missile systems of the russian federation of the himart type , variously called the mlrs type, which have already shown their effectiveness on the battlefields of the russian-ukrainian war. we hear how the russians are leaving before that, they considered themselves influential there, touched, and now we simply burn them there, uh, this is another weapon, including aviation weapons, anti-tank complexes that will allow us to use it, and the return of the occupied lands ago at this stage, our main task is to stop the enemy in some areas, we have already done it 100%, some areas are still faltering, but there we need to stop, then create

conditions for a further offensive and knock out the enemy, but in the interval between these global things like me said that it is still necessary to carry out counteroffensive actions in order to impose actions on the proactive enemy so that the enemy reacts to them, because until now we see who is engaged in the tactics of the general staff now the enemy is imposing on us, here we are advancing, so you are retreating or here you are defending, here we are not shooting, this means you are smuggling , we need to find gray means now, find areas of the front where we can impose the enemy where he should. then, after that, react to this, shoot some parts from other directions in order to react to our actions and we will er-e take other actions so that he reacts again this sense of war that we must er-e wage now and not just

stop his vlog because such a machine would be it is difficult to stop the border, even i do not know that more prepared armies, more massive, need military cunning and military skill, well , oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the national security and defense council, is talking about this trick, about skill, because he is talking about the fact that president zelensky sets the task of liberating ukraine, and before that there was the statement of iryna virishchuk and this is the prime minister of ukraine, who said that it is desirable for the residents of the southern regions to leave their homes because the ukrainian army will leave offensive in the future, when it is possible, i will not say when it is exactly possible, let's say so, creating the conditions and accumulating the power of means - this is precisely the matter of the commander-in-chief and the armed forces, but now
