just works on the doctrine of the 21st century intelligence strike complex of network-centric warfare when information about the coordinates of the enemy's targets is received at the command post and reaches the means of impression within a few seconds and these uh-uh targets are destroyed this is a sign of the modern army not a number no millions of ill-trained soldiers and the use of the entire system, of course, with professionals, the basis of the army is all the same, let the masses. these are ukrainian soldiers, but high-mars in their years is exactly what we need now. by the way, yesterday olena zelenska was the first the lady of ukraine spoke before the us congress and it was the first time that this happened. what is the first lady of a foreign country speaking in the congress of the united states of america and there mrs. olena spoke about the fact that ukraine needs weapons in order to stop and she asked the congressmen to continue the supply of

weapons and ppu systems for armed forces forces of ukraine to protect ukraine help us stop russian terror against the ukrainian people, she said , let's listen to what zelenskyi said, i am appealing to you on behalf of all the victims of in the name of those who lost their arms and legs on behalf of people who are still alive and whole on behalf of those who are fighting and who are waiting for their loved ones from the front line i am asking now for something that i would never want to ask i am asking you for a weapon, a weapon not to carry a war on someone else's land and to protect one's home and the right to wake up alive in it this is what elena zelenska's speech was like well, did the congress hear it, did it not hear it, and in

what quantity ? 8 systems haimars, these are my results of the fourth meeting of the contact group called rammstein, because we know that in april the first meeting was held, there were ministers of law, ministers of defense, er, almost forty countries, now more than 50 countries are participating in this meeting, and yesterday, the minister of defense of the united states of america, lloyd austin said that uh, we undertake to supply more haimars systems, ammunition for high-precision artillery and other important assistance, uh, uh, p. mikhail to you as an expert, uh, how much ukraine needs weapons and what kind of weapons in order not only to deter russian aggression, but also to go into a

counteroffensive, well, that is, there is ordinary mathematics. i think that purely mathematically, you can say that we need 100 mercs there, we need 1,000 there, taking into account the the border we have with the russian federation and the possible threats from belarus are so absolutely ah well, first of all, i would like to refer to mrs. zelenskyi's speech, and she said to stop terror, and indeed, when we talked with you about what russia can do to make what it is and what it is tactics it can use, then we see that russia cannot offer us anything new on the battlefield and they use precisely the tactics of terror with very old missiles that are not accurate, well x22, everyone already knows that the deviation of this

missile is standard up to a kilometer that is, this missile will never hit the target if we are talking about non-unit ammunition and the use of these missiles of the same type of missiles on urban buildings, this is real terrorism, that is, those people who plan to use such missiles on urban buildings they consciously know that it will happen, they will kill civilians, they will kill ukrainians , this is done with the absolutely terrorist purpose of intimidation, sowing panic, chaos, psychological stress, so that people lose hope , so that people cannot have free will on the contrary, and i want to emphasize once again what we are talking about every day of this war, we need anti-missile defense, anti-aircraft defense, we are now talking about highmars, we are now talking about artillery. this is important from the point of view of combat operations, but in order to protect, including our cities,

we need missile defense, this is what we constantly say , for example, the same, the famous iron dome, yes, the iron dome from the point of view of the defense of the troops of the defense of the territory of ukraine is not effective, because it works against missiles with a range of 70 km, well, this is exactly anti-missile systems of salvo fire. but why not put these systems near kharkiv, why not cover kharkiv with an iron dome, because we say we need them on the male we need patriots of course we need it for in order to close the entire territory of ukraine, but there is a problem in the front-line areas, this situation can continue for a very long time in the kharkiv region . salvo fire and banal mortar and other artillery strikes on

ukrainian territory, ukrainian troops simply cannot be there in this strip, roughly speaking , 20 km there, because they can be constantly covered there artillery fire, and there is already such a gray zone where there are no russians, but the ukrainian army cannot enter either, because it is very dangerous and ineffective to be there, so i think that we can make such a request to israel that we can put an iron dome in the border areas the same sumy oblast kharkiv oblast in order to really protect our front-line border cities from terror in relation to the supply of males and patriots of the german iriste slm, it's already well simple the parable of the tongues, we have been talking about it for a very long time and i hope that in the near future russian cruise missiles will be 100% shot down, especially those terrorist missiles that are inaccurate and are aimed exclusively at civilian objects and exclusively at

urban buildings for in order to achieve the maximum human casualties, when we think of the iron dome and other systems that are supposed to protect our peaceful cities, first of all, from attacks by russian aircraft and russian ships, it is obvious that we ask ourselves a logical question why, for example belgorod, which from belgorod is shelling kharkiv from the system that there are hails and other systems that are shelling us, why can't we strike at these systems, because the iron dome is certainly cool, but it is probably better when it is a source that generates and sends death to us... with the territory of the russian federation. it may simply be destroyed in the current war. we have seen several such

stories when, well, we can say that they were obviously ukrainian strikes, although there were no confirmed strikes of any kind. ukraine is afraid that russia will use more powerful weapons or strike at, as they say, the decision-making centers, including in kyiv. what exactly is holding the military back from responding to those systems that, er, are simply destroying our cities and villages? you correctly mentioned the sumy region there, well, every night, every day . it's just that the area neighboring the sumy area is just being shelled. well, the villages that are there and the people that live there are just being shelled. actually, no one is afraid here, but there is a real problem with the concentration of such tools

as himers and long-range western artillery, of course artillery, that is, if we say that we will have 18 there, what is that? imagine a thousand-kilometer front, several tense directions, we have soviet artillery banally running out of ammunition, or soviet artillery running out, russia is creating an artillery barrage, they really have thousands of artillery systems and here in a comparison of 18 caesars there are 18 e-e pantsir hausev and so on, that is, completely different orders when we speak and striking on the territory of russia will be possible when we have a concentration of western artillery, which is more long-range and more accurate than the soviet russian artillery will become possible when we really have enough artillery in the main directions and through whom the ukrainian command will be able to maneuver them with firepower.

that is, it would not be bad to create such a precedent when, for example, what kind of missile system -e ssr russian salvo missile system from the belgorod region strikes the kharkiv e-e in kharkiv and in response instantly flies two e-e haimers missiles and destroys this system i think that after a couple of such cases, er, any shelling would simply stop, the problem is that, for example, the same tornado has a range of 70 km and it can really be destroyed by mars, but we still have a shortage of high-mars, so when there will be at least 50 of them, then i think it will be possible to single out several installations that could restore order in both the sumy and kharkiv regions, that would cause a little terror in belgorod, a little above there in other border areas with ukraine, and uh,

stop this forever terror but for this banally, we need more concentration of modern systems that could outweigh russia in range and high accuracy, mr. mykhailo, one more point or one more object that is quite important in this russian-ukrainian war, this is the kerch bridge, and they have been talking about it for a long time, they are talking about the fact that this a rather serious artery, a transport artery for the russian federation that without this bridge, well , in fact, during the attack on kherson and further on to melitopol, which is basically a peninsula, it will turn into an island if there is no kerch bridge we have seen over the past two weeks how the russians are trying to do something to prevent the mercs, which will shoot at 300 km, which we are waiting for in

our country, and how they are trying to prevent a possible shelling of the kerch strait of the kerch bridge . they also took part of the black sea fleet from sevastopol to novorossiysk how possible is the development of such a scenario when the kerch bridge is destroyed at the base of the black sea fleet of the russian federation in sevastopol will be struck. well, ukraine itself will be able to control part the water area of ​​the black sea and not only the black sea, the aivazovsky sea, the question of the destruction of the kerch bridge must be considered in a complex way, and if we were to launch a single missile attack on the kerch bridge right now, this would in principle reveal the characteristics of the missiles that we will destroy this bridge our tactics, our

approach, and in principle, at that moment, when we had to carry out an operation, for example, to de-occupy crimea, the russians could already be ready in a certain way by concentrating more resources there against drinking non-defense and who would already know the characteristics and the model of our attack. that is, it is the same as how we destroyed the missile cruiser moscow . do you remember before that there were questions why ukraine does not use neptunes, why do we not use tons, then they were used and so much it 's a good thing that after we liberated zmiiny island, we destroyed a few more enemy boats and ships, and now they're already heading there, and in principle, they didn't use so many missiles. that is, it's a systematic approach. when we start preparing for deoccupation of crimea, the first thing that will have to be done is high-mar. perhaps not even as expensive and long-range as 300 km to destroy

the air defense system of crimea with a simultaneous attack on the kerch bridge. that is, we destroy the air defense and cut off the possibility delivery of other air defense systems, then we strike already at the ground infrastructure of the occupying forces with a simultaneous strike at the ship group of the black sea fleet and thus if that is all concentrate in time and space, we will achieve the maximum result, that is, if we stretch , for example, today we will have one strike on the ukrainian bridge, then several months pass, for example, and then the deoccupation operation only begins, and in fact the effect will be much less if it is done in a concentrated manner i.e. striking at the air defense forces and while there is embarrassment, operational embarrassment to the enemy, striking at the kerch bridge and another critical element of the infrastructure in including the basing of the enemy's ships. when they

are forced to go to sea, i will be waiting for hunchbacks, hunchbacks with neptunes, that is, i think that this is roughly how the operation to deoccupy crimea will look, in any case, it looks logical now, so far what we are observing as uh russian the occupiers are trying to hold on to the territories they temporarily captured in the zaporizhia region, and we know that in zaporizhia , near the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, the russians are trying to place their vehicles and their weapons so that the ukrainians do not destroy this arsene we we saw a similar practice from the russians when they took over chernobyl, we know that the security service of ukraine initiated criminal proceedings and accusations of nuclear terrorism , watching how the russians try to

use the nuclear facilities of the ukrainian state for blackmailing not only ukraine, but the whole world well, first of all, europe, or should the world react to this in a different way, because one attempt there is to thunder with nuclear weapons, and the second is, well, to simply blackmail and terrorize the world by nuclear facilities that fall under their control. yes, this is a nuclear chain, the usual nuclear mentarism in worse ones. moreover, i think that there was no such scale. what in our history would someone seize a -a whole nuclear plants ? this level of nuclear blackmail it's just something phenomenal and it's only a terrorist regime putin can do it and i'm

very, to be honest, this situation is very similar. well, it's the same psychologically and hmm, what about the development of the situation in kherson zaporizhzhia oblast. it is very similar to what happened in kyiv oblast, chernihiv oblast, in march, in february, in march of this year, when the russians realized that they could no longer carry out offensive operations, but their command did not remove the task of occupation in do you remember the further territories? they kept trying to seize the zhytomyr highway, they lost a huge number of people there, the ukrainian troops were already at that time, in fact , near kyiv, they were beaten with fire and controlled the fire situation, but the advanced forces of the enemy they still tried to cut the zhytomyr highway because they had such an order. it no longer had any prospects for the military, and now it seems to me very similar to what is happening in the kherson zaporizhzhia

regions, they already physically do not have the strength to develop this offensive, they already understand that this is now the ukrainians will cut off their logistics and management system and the ability to move in general, but their task is to advance, they continue to attack ukrainian territory, they even seem to continue some attempts to advance in the direction of kryvyi rih , that is, well, this is just idiocy, but this is russian idiocy, uh, there is such a phenomenon of the order of the higher command, i am sure that no one canceled the order to capture odesa, reach transnistria , unite with occupied crimea - this the task is not removed. i am sure to seize kryvyi rih by exiting further to the city of dnipro, er, with the unification, then unite with the forces that are now advancing on donbas. will end exactly the same as chernobyl s when they simply run away from there. at a certain moment when the

order will be given in pana to retreat because, for example, a group that is now near kherson will be surrounded and somewhere in the beryslav area they will be stopped, surrounded and will be to surrender and the group that functions near melitopol will also begin to retreat to the crimea and this will actually be the end of this all -nuclear terror because in fact, if we proceed from their concept, they should advance further and then the zaporizhzhia npp and those other eh ukrainian nuclear power plants should then become their property and bring them electricity that they can sell to themselves abroad. they had one just as they are now selling our stolen grain , they also want to sell our stolen electricity. this is the obvious approach of the putin regime stealing uh and profiting from it, that's their essence, so i think it will end very badly

for everyone. i hope that it won't come to really catastrophic consequences of the presence of these goblins uh, untrained uh, who are uh, in some in some cases, they require a pin code from the microwave oven there, russian soldiers go and demand from the owners when looting so that there is no simple incident at such a facility as a nuclear plant, mr. mykhailo, at the beginning of our conversation, you said that the russian army or the leadership of russia miscalculated on february 25 - it became clear and why why do you make such a conclusion? explain what they miscalculated , why it was clear on february 25 after they failed to take gostomel and the landing there they just laid down absolutely well, at the same time, they also launched er landings on vasylkiv, they launched landings in many er locations around kyiv, and

then they already found maps in which it was written how they were coming, the guards are already entering er kyivskyi prospekt is restoring order there filtration camps and so on are being created, that is, they are absolutely correct, now the footage shows how they were going, they were going to enter cheerfully, optimistically. i remember how these helicopters started to shoot down, they were shocked, actually, because the paratroopers thought that russian special operations forces had landed. they thought that they would go in and there would be no resistance, there would be flowers, girls, and in general, well, at the most, czechoslovakia 68 where will they stand and someone there will argue, but the national guard will quickly restore order, but in fact, all this is being conducted, all this is incorrect decision-making in military affairs, it is based on very low-quality intelligence, that is, intelligence information that

the entire russian agency on the territory of ukraine submitted er, then analyzed everything, reported to the administration of the president of russia, she ah, apparently painted a picture for which the troops were preparing. that is, it will not be a war, it will be czechoslovakia 68, it will be quite comfortable conditions, and in principle, there will be no war because they entered the kyiv region of chernihiv not for the war, they did not even have a supply of logistics, when this was especially noticeable from the units that entered there for several hundred kilometers, some entered the chernihiv region and they did not have any plan on how to proceed, because they had the task of reaching that place and literally , in a few days, help should arrive there to fill this territory with occupying troops and so on, that is, the operation plan itself was completely incorrectly prepared, which all the intelligence on very low-quality data that were laid as a basis for

decisions, and the decision is the shadow on the basis of which the operation is planned, that is, in fact, a complete strategic failure, which is now fully confirmed, this is all that we see during for the past five months, one way or another, he is faced with a rather simple question: what will happen if russia is not ruled by putin, and why am i mentioning it today? because in this conversation about his health, about how he feels and what will happen next from russia after this? this is a fairly active topic. both in our media and in foreign media. yesterday, cia director williams burns said that there is no intelligence that vladimir putin is unstable or has health problems. as reported by the bbc, what is the matter the age at which he is putin is 70 years old, according to the director of the cia, he

is absolutely in good health, according to your feelings, what can change the course of russia's development. if putin is in good health, and if he is not in good health, well, i think that in reality he is in quite good health, well, he passed the commission when the air force came in , that is, actually, i was very pleased with his behavior when you remember the 50 seconds when he was waiting for erdoğan, he is really unstable psychologically his condition is really unstable psychological state, he behaved like an inadequate person, and this means that on february 24 it was very bad, because before that he behaved differently, look at him, even his belly has grown, which means that he is no longer engaged in physical training, probably

, and also from hockey turned him away , so i think that his psychological condition is much worse than his physical one, and this can lead to, at such an age, already quite irreparable effects on his general condition. if you fantasize and imagine that putin disappears, well, hmm you can him sometimes he even jumped in fear when veran arrived, he, i look like this, almost fell there, he was not unexpected, he is so tall, he is so tall, he is so tall , and he is, and what will happen if there is no putin, there are even worse characters. for example , patorshev, who in general seems to me to be an inadequate emperor who is generally ready to shoot anyone there, russians, ukrainians, chinese and so on, but in any case putin's departure will upset the balance of the elites and in any case the next one will be killed patrusheva

and then the struggle for influence over those assets or liabilities that remained after putin will begin. i think that the elites are very dissatisfied with what is happening now. the elites are ready to tear putin apart. he promised them that there would be a quick victory, there would be a new profile, and there would be a reusable profile. crimea is so positive, or the results are that they fell into a trap and from which there is actually no way out, maybe there are two options, in fact, or national monarchists like strilkova ghirkina can come to power, they also have such a cohort there they can do it or, by the way, i think that it will be so and more likely, and after them it was already after when such sharpshooters come, it will be a disaster for this country, and after them, some kind of liberal revolution is already possible, there will definitely be a disintegration into several territories and all that will end

in the formation of several states, and i hope that we will then be able, together with our allies, to establish some kind of belt 300 kilometers from the ukrainian borders, so that there will never be any danger from there on this on an optimistic note, we will end our conversation. thank you, mr. mykhailo. this was mykhailo samusk, e.e., a military expert, deputy director of the center for the study of the army, conversion and disarmament on international issues. holes from bullets and debris , there is always a need for equipment, they strengthen the hull in addition, they gave an iron-type base so that it could be restrained by bullets with military equipment, the car needs to be raised. here we make it higher and put it on wheels and stop

we won't while there are needs, we will work and do it 24 hours a day, we rolled up our sleeves, there are car repairers who are making their contribution, now this is fire, this is pumped into our joint victory, because the car is needed by the boys, ukraine works, no matter what ukrainians think about, so that they don't talk about it for the first time the place still comes out war war and our victory seven days a week from monday to monday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters espresso journalists experts opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war every day, author's projects on espresso february 24, the date that changed us, the date that changed the world and now what

interests us most is our victory, when we will defeat the enemy, how to predict the course of the war, the saturday political club program returns to the espresso airwaves to help understand the events and predict the consequences that on saturdays vitaliy portnikov and maria gurska will discuss the most relevant issues in order to draw appropriate conclusions. do you want to know how what is happening today will affect our tomorrow watch the saturday political club that saturdays are not a stressor, wild creatures are not able to choose something else and we in ukraine like to choose everything, even if it is insurance on hotline finance hotline finance insurance, of course, online we are looking for

five-year-old victoria mokrushina, whose fate has not been known for more than two months and actually information about the route of the disappearance is also scarce, i only know that the last girl was contacted on may 7 and was in the village of belohorivka, this is the severodonetsk district of the luhansk region, where fierce fighting took place, now the village is under occupation the situation there remains quite uneasy and i really hope that everything is okay with the child and you are unable to reach her because of communication problems, so i am asking especially the residents of the north donetsk region, who may be seeing me now on social networks, take a close look at the photo of the girl, she has dark hair viktoria's eyes look like she is 5 years old, if anyone suddenly saw her or knows where she might be now, don't delay
