yes, these ammunitions are the ones that fired the shot, and you even forgot. you can't adjust this fire somehow, because it's a smart ammunition. it chooses its own target . it destroys the object 100%. it's impossible to even escape from it. it's impossible to disguise yourself. it uses how infrared and radar guidance, and therefore well, in general, it is a kind of hell for the russian occupiers today , the use of exactly these ammunitions, and that is why we are now really seeing the advantage of high-tech and high-tech weapons over what the russian the occupiers did something to themselves there for all these years of excess profits from oil and gas with soviet weapons, they modernized the quality of it, modified something with

it. well , look now, in principle, this is also visible on russian social networks and their such statements by the military leaders of various military experts who are just there, the hysterics are fighting for the third day with screams, how long will this continue, where is our miraculous failure which should impress all of these, although, well, we all understand that uh, western weapons that have not even been delivered, roughly speaking, well, 50% of what was promised and that well, as if it was planned for delivery , even this is not yet available. in fact, is it possible to say that in general, there has already been a change, or at least a suspension of this barrage of fire that the russian troops were trying to organize, because they were advancing on severodonetsk, actually because

they were following the tactics of well, there were massive artillery strikes just the use of artillery even against small groups of infantry well, there it is literally against individual trenches, well, in general, it’s like that, well, mass bombardment and now this artillery, which appeared to us, has started to work, can you say what kind of break-in or has it not yet happened viktor? what do you think, well , actually, they are those workers call it a pause, but in fact an operational pause is when you were walking and then stopped, i was not surprised. it is happening. they must now stop and reconsider their general strategy of behavior, because if they will be constantly destroyed, not only the supply lines, but also the headquarters, then in such conditions, conduct an active attack of the chemical level,

attack the large cities of the slavic kramatorsk federation - this is a big place. well, you can try again. but it will be very painful. there will only be losses, although this did not stop the russians, but i don't think that they will be able to do it now. until they understand or think that they understand how actually, they will try to counteract these strikes. well, they will most likely try to somehow concentrate the formations, somehow disguise the headquarters. i don’t even know how they will try to do it. especially since ukraine will receive news of weapons in the meantime, but they will try. i still think that they will do it one more time. uh, they will try to deceive him, regardless of whether they will find a solution simply because this is how the russian military machine works. but it seems to me that if they really do not look like something, something very new, some new tactics, a strategy, then they have nothing

they will come out. they again had uh, uh, uh, two complete changes of strategy during this war, the first one when they uh, the first strategy was actually when they tried to capture as much of the territory of ukraine as quickly as possible, despite the fact that it was simply dangerous for their troops when they simply broke off along the roads with large columns and lost them, for example, in the kyiv region, during the time it worked, for example, in the kherson region, it was limited. of ukrainian positions in the fire ball eh and it also bore fruit, now it is necessary to try to change it again, but i am not sure that there is already an option that can be changed so that it would be effective, and maybe they will do something, maybe they will try they may try to hold a general meeting and throw meat in the

hope that a large amount of meat will decide. as stalin said, the quantity of meat is the same as the quality of it, but so far i don't see that they can even try. well, what they definitely will to try to grope in the direction of slavic kramatorsk in different places from different uh, well, from different positions, they will simply look for a vulnerable, most vulnerable place, this is this. obviously, we all understand this , and they will continue to try to suppress the artillery, this is also understandable, but against the background of that that, after all, now their forces, apparently, are more or less concentrated around sloviansk in kramatorsk, here is the statement of the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov in an interview with the british newspaper for the times that the president zelenskyi gave an order to the ukrainian military to the kupap where to occupy the south of ukraine. i wonder why this statement could appear in the first place. let's say what it

means, how much such an attempt to go in the direction of the south can be profitable and justified. what do you think, mr. kovalenko oleksandr, can you hear me if we are talking about this statement then indeed it may seem strange because well, it is clear that the armed forces of ukraine will liberate the entire territory of ukraine in accordance with the internationally recognized borders of 1991 and there is no need for any separate some separate order precisely in order to carry out these counteroffensive actions. even if we look at the situation that has been unfolding for the last month and a half specifically in the kherson region, we will observe exactly the obvious counteroffensive actions that took place

. are advancing in the kherson region to the north , north-east, north-west and west from kherson, and indeed, those are the strikes that are being carried out at the points management and point - this is directly a phenomenon that concerns counteroffensive actions. why is it necessary in my opinion in the first place this a was for it was said for e-e readers of the times for readers of the english-language press specifically for consumers of information e english-speaking a-a cluster of the information segment of space and secondly, this is already for the russian segment, so really, in my opinion, it was a kind of soft format, a soft ultimatum, a soft ultimatum, it was a warning that you can

do of your own good will before it's too late and run away from the kherson region, because we will start contour offensive actions there, which you will not be able to prevent in any way, because we see that they really have problems now, and with the offensive ones, it is precisely where they have an advantage in numbers, this is the donbas bridgehead, and these offensive actions will gradually pass even before defensive actions, they will try to hold the captured territories, and then they will go to the third stage there, that is, retreat, that is, they will flee. and now we are talking about the kherson bridgehead, where do they have resources and the number of their advantages as on the donbas bridgehead. and they are currently in the phase of the second stage, that is, they are trying to conduct defensive actions, then block the offensive actions of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, they are very close to retreating, fleeing very close to them now, this is the phase

, here it is this period of time is much less than at the donbas bridgehead. in general , the south is the resource that will initiate more intensive counteroffensive actions also at the donbas bridgehead because the liberation of the zaporizhia region the liberation of kherson oblast is an incentive for the liberation of luhansk and donetsk oblasts due to the liberation of another resource of the armed forces of ukraine, which can be concentrated and used already on the bridgehead without concentrating on the liberation of others , that is, zaporizhzhia oblast and kherson oblast , it is now really distracting and on itself very a large number of resources of the armed forces of ukraine that could be used both in kharkiv oblast and luhansk oblast and donetsk oblast, and that is why the release of the

rooster is necessary for further liberation is already in donbas well, in addition to the fact that, in principle, a lot of resources are diverted to the south, but there are also well, along the belarusian border , where also, in principle, we have to look at the fact that there is constantly some kind of rotation, some movements, uh, the same situation around kharkiv when just to the north of kharkiv, the russians managed to advance because they considered it a distracting maneuver but nevertheless they actually advanced kharkiv bridgehead there is a little different and tell me, they are now accumulating resources there they they are trying to advance. but this is not so much a question of some large-scale offensive with the aim of capturing either the kharkiv region or the city of kharkiv. and it is already a question of securing the north-northeast and

east direction from the city. why? because they need there now to provide a security buffer for a very important logistical artery, namely vovchansk kupyansk, a big icicle and a raisin, that is, this logistical artery, although it is not some kind of main one, it is very important precisely for the supply of personnel, forces and means, namely on izyumsk to the izyum location from where offensive actions are being prepared in the direction of aslavyansk if the armed forces of ukraine implement a sufficiently effective counteroffensive to the very south and to the northeast , and for example, even if there is no deoccupation in the near future, for example, vovchansk or the same kup' yansk but if these population points, this logistical artery will be in the area of ​​action of our artillery, not only jet-propelled

artillery, then it will already be a very big problem precisely from the logistical point of view of the logistical artery the supply of weapons, and therefore today we can say that they are primarily trying to gain a foothold there to ensure this buffer security. and offensive actions are again a matter of resources. they are trying, but even today blocking the armed forces as an offensive action is quite effective. therefore, uh this is not about some kind of large-scale occupation of the entire region, some kind of option 2.0 well, you know, nevertheless, for example, around the demented woman who is there from the north har, because she has been going for about a month and there are quite large losses well, what can i say there they are carrying out such large artillery attacks by the russians, all the points that, let’s say, around kharkov, if you look like this from north to south, which were deoccupied

by the ukrainian army, now the russians have practically retaken them , is it possible to call what is happening there in general like this - yes, it is also some kind of offensive or counter offensive of the russians, i am interested, viktor. what do you think , in fact, the story there is just very short there , they can only take a ride there, they can take offensive actions directly, enough for everything necessary from the territory of the russian federation, that’s why they succeeded there. why shouldn’t they actually press there if they don’t have such a problem with the same supply, they can make a son of it there. this or the first distracts the ukrainian troops and the second really reduces the threat of the artery from kupyansk on izyum is a railway artery. i mean, that's why they all do it there, they do n't have any special problems, but you have to understand that it 's a technical problem, only they

will move a little, a little, at least at the initial level. all this is more likely to be an attempt at pressure, active pressure. well, in general, the question of pushing the russians away from kharkov is a question of additional weapons or simply, well, i don’t know, there is an insufficient number of our forces there, pure infantry, that’s what, what is the main problem in the russian border -he is, so god, if we do not carry out hostilities and attacks on the territory of the russian federation very actively, then it simply will not work in the near future, but the question is that it is not, for example, the question is that as soon as they for example, as soon as they, er, break down the attempt to follow the slovenian kramatorsk, er, here the question has already been raised about whether or not, er, the ukrainians will have to travel in the eastern direction, or actually go, er, in the direction of the

ukrainian and indian, and whether the russians should they can stay there like this, they can still press kharkiv from the north, but what is the point of them, we won’t try to take the kharkiv storm there, this is an attempt to simply sew additional pressure, if the main pressure is turned off , then additional pressure will not be needed in fact well, fight again. in other directions, so win in it in 16 directions. and sooner or later, the russians will simply lose any sense of trying to see all the russian delights of the cossack lady and her picture in general. that is, in the end, we will return again. to the question of the slavic kramatorsk, i.e. and well, you know, you can say that the defense of this district, uh, can be successful, unsuccessful there, and so on, but the question is that there needs to be some kind of counteroffensive, not by defense, and to what extent is it again still re- realistic, oleksandr, what can you

say about this matter, eh, in general, i want to focus on two big eh battles that will really take place in the near future, and at least in the short-term perspective, this is really the battle for the south and the battle for words yansk and why are they different from each other ? and why should we pay attention to them , because the liberation of the south is not only er, we get er, the resource of the armed forces of ukraine, units of the armed forces of ukraine with which we can concentrate on the donbas bridgehead and there is still an opportunity to implement low-level, let's say tactically, strategic actions that will have an impact in the future on the development and rather the end of the war as a whole

. crimea according to the structure of the russian occupiers and the ultimatum regarding the kerch bridge, which was very often talked about, such moments regarding the donbas bridgehead directly, then in slavyansk and it will be near the slavic er-e biggest battle, as i already said, this is precisely the confrontation of the defense of the tank units of the russian occupiers and against the tank defense that currently exists in this area of ​​the armed forces of ukraine, it is during this battle that it will be destroyed, i am not afraid of such an analysis, even will be destroyed a very large number of still combat-capable indeed combat-capable and more or less effective and heavy equipment of the russian occupiers, because it was they who concentrated it in the area of ​​raisin in the direction of er-e

slavic, they concentrated it already several months immediately after izyum was occupied, they began this saturation and accumulation of this very equipment of tank and anti-tank units, and therefore, if this group of troops of the russian occupiers in bila slavinsk is destroyed, then in general we can say that they are losing their ah, the armored advantage over the armed forces of ukraine from e, because one of the things that it was in general, when all the ratings were voted, and another thing, when they brought it to the top, what they said first of all was that the russian federation had the largest number of the largest number of armored units in the world. well, they are advancing - only the united states and, in some positions, china are inferior in terms of the number of self-propelled artillery tanks and other things. now this potential has not been leveled in

ukraine for almost the fifth month by almost 50%. after the battle near slavyansk, it will be unoccupied by another 20-25%, if we are sure of this, that is why we can talk about a really very serious big break in the course of this full-scale war, because we will regain control of the level of the level we will destroy the largest number of them and armored units on the donbas bridgehead in the area of ​​slavyansk, the russians will no longer have enough resources. not at all for offensive actions, but even for defensive ones. therefore, it can be said that these two battles are the most, they will really be the beginning of the end, not at all - not so much, i would even say and the war in ukraine is the beginning of the end of the russian federation in general. well, if we talk about the exhaustion of

this resource of the russian uh, well, if now they are not trying to advance with a large front, they are not waging such, you know, big battles on a large scale in the account, that is, the attack on slavic and kramatorsk, well, this is a very specific thing, after all, and uh, for this, it is not even enough technology that they have preserved somewhere, deconserve a little more, that is, whether or not these assessments are, well, too optimistic, what do you think, viktor well , actually it is not. because again, the issue is not only in technology and manpower. in logistics, first of all, it is very difficult to specifically provide logisticians because, of course, you can remove from your own storage and some 100,000 members of tanks that are set in motion by the combined force of the driver's own mechanics, but the question is how you will ensure

the supply of the same shells, how will you manage the supply of fuel and lubricants, which also provides spare parts, and this is where the russians may have big problems, why i believe that we need mobilization and he may not help in this situation simply because and if what to shoot from and how to launch these tanks right away, the problem is when you are destroyed, the same ones made up the problem for you starts not in the amount of equipment, but in how you will start this equipment, that's why i don't really think that russia will not help us much, the removal from conservation of a large amount of old soviet equipment, because again, this is a palliative in this situation , it is necessary. they already need to reach some quality, they could help their own forest but from whom to get it well here is a big question

, in fact no one has a smile you can try something there in china to borrow checks for firewood but again it will not be effective it will not be powerful therefore now really well i don't know i am cautious in forecasts for contrast but i'm sure that the offensive capabilities of the russian troops have now dropped very sharply and i haven't seen a reserve from which they can be increased. they are capable of inflicting artillery damage on us as it was. during the last month, eh, or is this also eh history? there will go into the past, that is, the nearer time, i.e. what do you think literally there by the minute, please rate it for me because today on the battlefield for those who are there, it is i think well, the key question is, in principle, because this is what creates the most problems for the ukrainian armed forces, its shelling is constantly huge, oleksandr,

of course, the intensity will decrease both on the front line and in almost all the perrontov cities, towns , villages, and populated areas. it will remain a threat, and especially mykolaiv is kharkiv. artillery, we can see that they will continue until this distance is reached, that is, until the enemy is moved to a greater distance from the enemy cities and along the front line, it will also happen. but again, the intensity and possibilities of striking at the russian occupiers are decreasing every day, or they will not remain, but decrease. that is, we have a difference when at some location there were 140-150-200 artillery shellings per day and reactive, and then it decreased to 100 to 80 to 70 shellings per day

, that is, the decrease is fixed, there are shellings, but they are becoming less, that is, the probability that there will be victims viktor and your forecast is literally also a minute as what will really be dignity, they say that there is less strength, the problem begins again with the heroes, as i already mentioned, and again, art is not unlimited russian, but not unlimited, the resource was created by an unlimited one. yes, this crazy connection of theirs we have not yet completely eliminated, but the possibilities of its application among russians have decreased and this is for the good, i.e. we suddenly had such a quiet break here. it's a pity that one month earlier, for example, boxing helped us, for example. uh, luhansk oblast, but it’s better than nothing anyway, we’ll retake it anyway, as long as

this machine is russian, finally. thank you, uh , these were the chronicles of the hostilities. ukraine well, thank you for your attention, stay with espresso. and we will meet in a week. we are looking for nine-year-old artem koranda and his 11-year-old brother maksym. the boys lived in mariupol with their mother and stepfather. their neighbor, who left the city even before the war began, appealed to them. they were very good neighbors. everything was fine. the children were very well. the mother watched them very closely. she put her heart into them. her children were neat. imagine the horror the brothers had to go through when they were very busy in the city. fierce battles from

the bombing artem and maxim hid in the basement day and night. on march 8, a shell hit their house and unfortunately the boys' mother and her husband died. they definitely died during the hostilities from march 7 to 8 on the evening of the 7 they, well, her husband, she asked for help , there were some screams, but people were afraid to go outside at night, and already in the morning, on march 8, they saw that uh, she and he, well, that is, a man and a woman are at the entrance there with injuries, mr. igor showed we have a photo of the house and the place where the shell hit, he says that there was an apartment where the children lived. however, at the exact moment when everything happened, fortunately, artem and maxim were not at home. the neighbors confirmed that during the shelling, the children were somewhere in the basement, that is, they were in a protected place. and at home they were definitely not there. the children definitely remained alive. this

information is accurate information. i want to emphasize that any information and even the smallest details are important in the search, and therefore i draw your attention to the fact that artem and maxim lived in mariupol in a five-story building on the avenue here are 101 builders. by the way, what did this building look like before the russian invasion? we also know that they learned to take school at number nine on bohdan khmelnytskyi boulevard. i still don't know if the children's documents survived and so on, because the apartment in which they lived burned down, it was destroyed by a blow, by the way, there is also very important information that already after the death of the mother, the boys were allegedly seen in donetsk in children's hospital no. 5 in the budyoniv district of the city, who took them there it is really so at the moment, it is impossible to say for sure

, their grandmother could probably tell more about the boys, but unfortunately the woman is not yet available to contact, well, you need to look for monitors and make attempts to contact the grandmother with the grandmother, i hope so that at a certain time there would be a connection and the grandmother was safe. that is, it was already april, the month of april. since mid- april, we have several photos of the missing artem and maksym, taken about a year before their disappearance. please note that the boys look their age, they have a pronounced appearance and they are very similar to each other, very interesting children, the little guy was generally very friendly , he greeted me in general, i walked by him everywhere, stroked his head and so on, very handsome boys, you know, it was nice to see them like brothers, i loved them very much a friend of a friend felt that these are brothers, so i am asking you, and especially the residents of the temporarily occupied mariupol and donetsk, if possible you see this

program . hotline at the number 116,000,000 calls are free from all mobile operators, also write to the chat bot service of the search for children in telegram, in addition, i ask everyone who is watching now tell about this story , share the video on social networks, your attention and caring can really help us in the search for artem and maksym, and at the very end urges you to go to the website of the children's search service, many of these boys and girls are lost. it is because of the war and in the places where hostilities took place, i ask you to look at their faces, if you recognize someone, contact to us on the hotline 116 000 000 , again i emphasize that you can call from any mobile operator and the calls are free, maybe you will recognize someone and help find

the program of the ukrainian service on the air from washington voices of america, time, i am yuliya yarmolenko. i congratulate un secretary general antonio guterres. he condemned the rocket attack on vinnytsia that killed at least 22 people, including three children . more than 100 people were injured. before bringing the culprits to justice, another unprovoked and groundless attack by russia on innocent civilians was called a missile strike
