well, we continue our broadcast without a screen saver. we have a moment of silence today, because we work from shelter, but it is important to remember our loved ones, our compatriots, our defenders. well, now we include the next guest of our broadcast, serhiy zgurets, military expert and director of the company defect. express contact me as always

. we are currently analyzing the fronts and talking about weapons with serhii zgurets. let's start after all, because today we didn't even have a... sergey, it is better then to address this question itself. how do you assess the last day there in the donbas, and these attempts of the russian army to take the uglehir tpp, why is it such an important nodal point for the russian offensive? well, how do you assess the capabilities of the russians at the moment? that we see a lot of information from e , including the american institute for the study of war in the south. so now we will talk about this too, but what is really in the direction of the front lines in the donetsk region where

also, the enemy is trying to gain an advantage in advancing and, in fact, he wants to do this, what can be done from the air, how are events developing there, how can we summarize the results of the week and what is the situation as of today, if we are talking about the general dynamics, then this week shows that the capabilities of the russian army to carry out offensive actions have not been increased, they still use the main artillery and aviation to carry out strikes along the entire line of contact, and limited strikes by assault bombs, which are directed there to probe our defenses around e-e sloviansk e-e kramatorsk they are not really successful because those lines of defense prepared there perform their

mission well enough and the area where our units are located around and from sloviansk and kramatorsk inna approaches the bahmut they are well enough er, they are fortified and our troops there use these advantages in order to strike at the enemy in relation to the hologhir tpp, in fact, over a certain period of time, we have units deployed there that actually make these attempts of the russians impossible to ensure the capture of this area and to go on one of the routes that from the south to the north leads to bahmut because now around bahmut there are almost three directions directly from the south and

east, such attempts are being made to ensure the coverage of the city and the cutting of all logistical ways to make it difficult to secure the viski group , which is located in sloviansk and kramatorsk, but now the dynamics of hostilities with diesr are completely different. if earlier we talked about the fact that the enemy uses the advantage in artillery, now the situation has changed due to precisely limiting the possibility of the russians to carry out such actions in view of our dara on their e-e storage bases, so that the dynamics of this directly to the next ones in donbas, in fact , it is more static than dynamic. i think that it will will continue and always to strengthen our capabilities in the south, the situation is a bit different, it is interesting, i think we will see some er there too, so i will interrupt you for a minute and tell you that different sources are reporting about explosions in the area

of kamianets-podilskyi, khmelnytskyi region , the sounds of explosions are heard, uh, and uh, actually, the information is being further clarified now, let's talk about the south, the american institute for the study of war actually says that the armed forces of ukraine are either already finishing training or have already started large-scale counteroffensive in the kherson region p serhii, how does the state of affairs look and how can we assess what is happening now in the kherson region we are finally hearing fresh news that our defenders hit the bridge across the river ingulets and about the liberation of some previously temporarily occupied settlements, well,

we understand that in kherson oblast, the russians are not only preparing for a counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine, but they are also intensifying art shelling, targeting the banks of the same ingulets river, what does the situation look like through your eyes, i left we did not fall into the maelstrom of excessive expectations. based on the conclusions of foreign analytical structures, because of course today's message from here is that we are in the stage of an offensive on kherson and there are certain reasons for this. it corresponds to reality, and on the other hand, we still do not have such clear confirmations from the general staff, although we know the general situation that during the last few weeks there, we are advancing directly to

kherson, where the distance is e-e in certain areas , remember there were publications that almost up to several kilometers there, then we say something else that somewhere, well, at least there is an advance 10 km deep to kherson, the situation there along chernobaivtka is very close, we can already strike oil, what are we actually doing and actually such a line of conflict along the e-e cock, it is in constant, first of all, such dynamics in view of the use, first of all, of artillery on both sides and the use of ground units is limited, because until now in the middle of the day we have a certain parity in ground forces and none from the sides. so far, there is no such er noticeable advantage, our advantage is now manifested in the use of long-range means of impression when we carry out strikes on bridges that complicate the logistical connection of groups of russian troops that

is located on the right bank of the dnieper, and this is actually the first such clear invitation to the russians to leave our territory, all the strikes on other cities and bridges are also a confirmation of this strategy, but i don’t see the enemy drawing any conclusions, because they started talking about what we have to build pontoons there in front of the right across the dnieper in order to continue to provide our units, that is, i think that the dynamics in the kherson region will primarily be implemented through the use of our high-precision weapons. at the same time, the enemy is really tightens the means of electronic anti -aircraft defense to the kherson region and to other regions or somehow minimizes the use of our aviation against e-e russian objects, although our attack aircraft. so yesterday and the day before yesterday there were many examples when warehouses and command posts were destroyed just in the south of our state in the occupied territories, that is, the dynamics are positive, but still, let's repeat that let's

get visual and photo confirmation of our progress, just like it was yesterday with vysokopilya had such a lively discussion that vysokopilya is surrounded by a significant grouping of russian troops, the number of up to two thousand troops was called, but vysokopilya is a small enough town to press 2,000 soldiers, 800 is quite difficult to buy, so i think that uh, at times, excessive expectations should not uh- eh then give rise to hmm sure let’s say yes or the disappointment or surprise of the dynamic on the fronts is a complex dynamic. headquarters and based on the available photo or video recording materials, i will simply add that if we talk about the south in the melitopol district , the mayor of

melitopol ivan fedoriv announced this morning in his telegram channel that this night the railway infrastructure used by the occupiers to transport military equipment and was damaged by the forces of the ukrainian resistance personnel in the direction of the city of vasylivka and the city of tokmak , this greatly complicates the enemy's logistics, and this is good news and a surprise for the russians from the resistance movement, we are waiting for more details yes, i wanted to add about heimers, actually, that uh, even stern is popular, uh, in fact, such a uh, german weekly magazine, they have a big article published there, where they call these uh, uh, wonderwaffes, i.e. miracle weapons, and i explain why so it works effectively, but the question is that we also received information from the chairman of the committee on the armed forces of the us congress, adam smith,

who said that they cannot give us, for example, 50 more gymor soldiers, that they do not have so many free reserves, but he said that now the goal - is to prove e the total number together with e mlrs e-e up to 25-30 missile launchers e ot is this enough for ukraine in the conditions when we do not have a powerful strike aviation e in order to perform the task i think that in fact the american side has the potential of the soil and 50 hypers and more, so the statement of this politician is actually somewhat reminiscent of yesterday's statement of the president's adviser baida on sullivan that we cannot provide ukraine with missiles with a range of up to 300 km to hummers with

considering the risks of e-e contouring of the russian federation of the transfer of war into a format of a larger scale eh what sally tells you about today in the us army in the arsenals there are still at least 360 heimers and somewhere 270 ml-reis against the background of this eh amount that is in the composition of the us army in reserves i think that er, adding 20 heimers for delivery to ukraine is a very real and possible step and would be more. i am sure that it will be implemented. the number of 50 or 56 schemes is the minimum number that was announced when we are from the point of view of stabilizing the possibilities of the ukrainian army to operate with russian artillery, and when we talk about the number of emers in the stockpile, this is this, this is what ensures just a certain break in

many directions of the actions of the ukrainian army. today, the hymers are operating both in the izyum direction and in the donetsk direction, i do not include what uh and to things and in the south, so that there are already 12 grams that work, they actually significantly changed the format of hostilities, and this situation will only scale, so the transition to the number of 50 hemers is known, it is quite possible for the american army to be short message, the head of khmelnytskyi ova gamalii writes that the sounds of explosions can be heard on the territory of the region , and the air defense system has been activated. i also have a question about the training of ukraine's own armed forces in britain. i have already shared

with johnson, e. then the russians don't get their rockets, and even from apostol, there are a lot of photos from there where he is also there training together with the ukrainian military, what kind of super training is it really and what does he give how important is it, what do you mean by changing the skins on these porotamin ships of the standao class? yes, i am talking about these trainings of 10,000 actually promised in every 3 months or four months johnson promised and this program has already started, i understand that there is already a large number of ukrainian servicemen there, it is there in north yorkshire, the minesweepers will be transferred to the armed forces from britain, and we also have to train the servicemen of the naval forces of ukraine,

we are talking about two mine countermeasures ships sandau let's listen to polish i plan to news when we talk about the role of great britain, it is really decisive regarding initiative projects and the supply of weapons that set a certain standard for other european countries great britain has volunteered to actually conduct training on its territory for 125 days and 10,000 personnel , this is actually two brigades, the first groups of the ukrainian military are already being trained, even soon they will be there gradually after completion. i think that we will have the opportunity in the near future, to conduct an interview with the people who organized these trainings in britain, and these trainings covered, as it were, the main primary requirements for personnel to participate in combat

operations, starting from medical training, shooting training, mastering those types of weapons that transmitted by britain, here we are mainly talking about ground systems, and these videos are already appearing in the mass media, saying that we see ukrainian soldiers there, who are also gaining their first experience absolutely in the military sense, and people who already have some experience of combat operations, but it is extremely important that this is happening on the territory of another country in britain, where the risk of striking such training centers there is minimized, so that on the territory of ukraine from time to time it tries to use, thanks to e-e, missile strikes on our training center, when we are talking about samples of weapons that are transferred from britain, so this one is interesting and famous, we are also talking about

means of impression and the eyes of the brigston rockets, which already destroy a fortune teller on equipment and a significant number of short-range air assets and now britain is continuing this dynamic by handing over the ships and boats needed by the naval forces and preparing the necessary potential for them, so i repeat that great britain is such a certain standard for quickly taking into account ukrainian demands for strengthening our of the armed forces well, i will also ask about the article that appeared a week ago in the guardian, where the question was raised again, and the cool editor wrote one of the directors of the garden about the fact that nato should in the end, dare to enter into an open conflict with russia and it

will not be possible to avoid it anyway, yes, there is such an opinion, but to what extent, after all, we simply stopped talking about the closing of the sky, about the introduction of troops, about i don't know if there is any demarcation there, the protection of the civilian population there, whether there should be any peacekeeping operations . in other words, we are relying very, very much on our own forces. but it is possible. this is also something that we need to keep in mind directly. wars well, when we talk about our defense strategy, is relying on our own strength the most optimal, because with such an approach there will be no less disappointment, it is important that the countries from the west of the united states provide the promised support, help, which we desperately need today, a strategy nato, in

view of the recent ones, is precisely directed to ensure and support ukraine and, on the other hand, to rebuild its own defense system that will be able to counteract the strategies of the russian federation that are being implemented today with regard to ukraine and e-e expert of the alliance does not include that hostilities can be continued outside of ukraine if something goes wrong, but for now the first line of deterrence of the russian federation is our state and our e-e armed forces regarding the active participation of nato countries in the fight against russia by the federation already at this stage, as we can see, stopping beach and other officials are avoiding such a possibility, although the former commander there, in particular, the commander of nato's military forces in europe, clark also spoke about what happened one way or another

it is desirable that we, i.e. nato countries, review our strategy for countering the russian federation and do not rule out the possibility of such measures that directly minimize the influence of the russian federation, in particular there was an idea that poland could also cover part of the territory of the russian federation with its means of air defense ukraine, e.e. western ukraine, where, in particular, there is a transfer to a military technician, which cities are located, which enemy, in particular, russia is also trying to terrorize you with missile strikes this discussion in nato continues. this discussion continues for a long time, but for now we will have to rely on our own strength and capabilities. thank you, serhiy zgurets, a military expert and director of the defense express company, was in touch with us via skype and e-e before we connect the next guest i will tell andrii that, uh,

new rules for holding a driver's license have come into effect in ukraine. i will tell you briefly what has changed from now on, we will be willing to keep a driver's license. first, you need to complete a theoretical training course at a driving school and successfully pass an exam in to the territorial service center of the ministry of internal affairs, and only then with a certificate of passing the theory test to practice and go out driving on the street, the ministry of internal affairs says that such an understanding can be similar to the police to get a permit that you learned to drive correctly, i am no longer sure that this is a big victory about the fact that you first have to pass the exams and learn the rules, and when you have already learned the rules, then start sitting behind the wheel and learn to drive directly, it also seems to me to be a wise decision, the only thing i wish we had there was, first of all, more responsibility for drunken driving, well, and secondly, you also need to keep

in mind that the guarantee is a reduction in the number of cases between which the country ended, after all, fair trials andriy and try not to agree with me that it is important to examine it, er, to separate theory from practice, but it is also important to remember that the punishment for any violator of traffic rules while driving and for drunken driving is inevitable, and regardless of who the driver is, i have no questions, i simply do not understand why is this again i don't know the police somewhere he is engaged in this preparation, actually, for the exams of the future drivers in which countries. well, it’s just a study, let’s go. next time we’ll ask if this is a representation of the ministry of internal affairs, but it actually turned out

well. international topics, namely, about topics related to close ties, here we have quite a lot of news this week, and ihor, the director of the center for middle eastern studies, is in touch with us. congratulations, mr. ihor. congratulations. congratulations. thank you. join our broadcast despite the anxiety, despite the fact that the actual air-raid alarms sounded throughout ukraine and we see that there is information about the explosions in the khmelnytskyi region. let 's try to analyze the grain agreements signed in istanbul, which are shelling of the odesa port, what can we say about the state of affairs with the agreement and about the future effectiveness of these grain agreements in view of how - in what form this whole

picture appeared after the russian shelling of the odesa port well, we all already know what the russians said eh, that this is absolute schizophrenia, eh, since it is clear that these were calibers, and hmm, well, such an objection just looks, eh, childish, but you see, well , at least the turks pretend that they are at least taken into account, which means that for the creators , it is very important to address where she it is profitable and it is image-based, and therefore the turks will cling to this quota until the last, pretending, as i said, that nothing happened, but i am silent about the organization of the united nations because we have all seen the agreement that was

signed where the organization of the united nations does not take i don't have any obligations, that's why she's present. and in general, it's very symbolic. she's just useless, and i think that this is one of those nuances that was important for portugal. he constantly emphasized that international organizations , the united nations it must be a hundred , it must be involved, and then turkey alone will do something, so it seems to me that in this sense, we must leave this situation as of now, and the ukrainian government, as it were, is categorically against that

those things that happened, but at the same time, judging by everything, we will not get out of this, well, to get out of this at once is somehow very strange, and they understand that such risks exist and will continue to exist, but this is, of course, the first bell that in general this the agreement may not be implemented , many experts warned that ukraine obviously could not sign the agreement in view of erdoğan, because it was important for erdoğan and we could not just say to the fish that we don't want to, let's say help him to increase it

social capital and political capital but at the same time, of course, there are too many obstacles for this agreement to work in full. well, here it is important to work with the same near east, explaining to the governments of these countries that it is russia that prevents the supply of grain to the joy of the east. well, here it is in view of lavrov's future speech or meeting there with the volyerov state. in other words, everyone should understand who is to blame and who, in fact, is objecting to the very delivery of these n- regarding the agreement itself. well, we all emphasized that it is very important that ukraine signed this agreement with turkey,

not with the russians, and when the russians then, for example , insidiously shot the sea port, the key sea port, which should be the main gate through which this grain is supplied , respectively, still slaps and sloshes. well, to a certain extent, he still acts as a guarantor of this agreement, or what? what does this actually mean? i wanted to ask this question what is the shelling of the odesa port? the ukrainian foreign ministry called it a slap in the face of guterres erdogan. do you agree with this

wording and will erdogan forgive putin ? appearance so that practically nothing happened, that this is a small incident that will not affect the supply process itself, that is, in other words, if there was a plus according to the words of the ukrainian foreign ministry, then in principle it was perceived, but here what will happen next, how much turkey will remember about it and what it will do in the future , respectively, well, this is turkey's secret, it is quite possible that nothing will be done yet, because 25% is

always 25%. and that's why, in principle, they have such money for the sake of such money, they are ready to tolerate such benefits there. so, what would i do here? i would not argue there. as some hot heads say, turkey will remember everything there and then take revenge accordingly, and that's why this is not necessarily the case, especially in turkey now a lot of problems with the russians in syria, and maybe they will exchange this spit for some hmmm goodies for themselves, this is in the same series well, who knows him zelensky talks with the ukrainian president thanked the president of kazakhstan for the principled support of ukraine
