and tanks are an offensive weapon, besides, from mariupol to novaya kakhovka this week, new amphibious tactical combat groups were transferred from melitopol to kherson, troops were transferred to guide pontoon crossings, in general, a lot of information came from russian sources about the formation of new battalions, the number of volunteers, they say, such a task has been set before every russian region, but how real it is without the announcement of general mobilization, pavlo vasiliev analyzed the situation on the southern front, a night terror for the russian occupiers as our hammers did they turn the antonov bridge into leaky concrete, does the kremlin have enough manpower and equipment to hold kherson for a long time, any technical person who has dealt with equipment will tell you that the conservation of equipment is a myth. so why is putin now in a worse

position than hitler after the landing of the allies in normandy facts last week they analyzed the situation on the southern front, we need to approach at a distance of 15-20 km from our artillery shot. here it is a large and independent state if you look at the map of the russian-ukrainian war and the successes of ukraine undeniably, the northern front, the russians fled to belarus, kharkiv region, fierce battles, but no major offensives, donbas, the so-called russian special operation has already clearly slowed down, the only thing that the russians can pass off as their own success so far is the occupation of parts of the southern regions. fully control the azov coast , partially occupied donetsk, zaporizhzhya and kherson regions. and this makes it possible to provide for its groups through occupied crimea since 2014 the main logistical routes are highways and

railways, in order to protect them the russians even brought an armored train here, but even this southern bridgehead looks like it will become an arena of hellish trials for the invaders for several weeks already weapons turn the former main transport highway into an exclusively pedestrian zone, the former minister of defense of ukraine andriy zagorodniuk explains that bridges are achilles’ heel the fifth of the russian army. and since kherson is on the opposite open right bank of the dnieper, the antonov bridge is an extremely important military objective . of course it was calculated and of course it makes sense because it really does. if you look at the maps, you can see that this bridge has enormous logistical significance of course, controlling the

movement of the enemy's forces and means in this direction is very important for any plans regarding kherson, so whether it really turns out that our hi-immerses open up a quick prospect for us to see the ukrainian the flag over kherson let's figure out how long russia will have the strength to fight off the landslides in the south and what can oppose our counterattack, but to begin with a short geographical retreat - the south of ukraine is mostly a bare steppe where it is very difficult to hide, this is clearly visible in the training footage of zaporizhia mortars, so every hill or the ravine, landing, salons, speaking of cities, become nodes of defense or real fortresses. what can we say about rivers, crossings are of special strategic importance if we take into account that in the south they are few and far between by and large, everything about the careful grouping of the occupiers in the kherson region is tied to only

four ways of supply, first of all, it is already known throughout ukraine, the antoniv bridge, secondly, the bridge over the dam of the kakhov hydroelectric power station , the crossing through ingulets near darivka, and another antoniv bridge, but already a railway for a couple kilometers from the road, according to military commentator mykhailo gorokhov, this railway bridge is even more important than road bridges. times already has such a huge problem as the fact that it is completely dependent on railway supplies a-and therefore the destruction or disabling of the railway bridge is more important from a military point of view to notify the local residents that the bridge is also er also affected and to what extent it offended , well, it is unknown. but it is clear that now there

is no movement on it, in turn, the sbu colonel and people's deputy roman kostenko, who has been fighting on the southern front since march, claims that the task is not even to destroy the bridges, but simply to do so or the russians could not use them even not fully we need to come close to the dnieper we need to come at a distance of our artillery shot of 15-20 km so that we can clearly keep it under visual control with the help of uavs or with the help of our visual agents there then this control will give us the opportunity to fully control and the enemy will not be able to find it there for a long time , therefore there are forms, there are methods, there are tactical techniques. i think the command knows them, so we will not be versed, and there will be no shells, besides, american heimers turned the lives of the occupiers into a real horror by destroying their equipment and ammunition, as a result of what the artillerymen themselves call shell starvation, and

without the support of artillery, the russians will not be able to fight for a long time, and does the destruction of bridges guarantee us success? that a truck with shells , but also a column of tanks, it is enough just to remember how it stubbornly forced siverskyi donetsk, sparing neither the equipment nor its soldiers, the russians will to hold on to the south until the last and there are possibilities er for directing pontoons as we have seen this in the kharkiv region in the donetsk region in the chernihiv region when at the beginning of the war when the russians directed these bridges even under artillery damage, for example, the bridges in the chernihiv region near the 6th capital, they were directed four or five times. that is, they were destroyed by the ukrainian army, they were fired upon again,

another matter. expensive only near belogorivka on one crossing they lost at least 100 cars, about 400 soldiers, but when the russian generals counted axis soldiers now in order to hold the south, and it seems in the kremlin, they doubt the probability of our counteroffensive on the stupid in this direction, moscow is looking for a new cannon m' yes, the kremlin announced the formation of so-called volunteer battalions, or even a separate corps of propagandists, with the task of showing alleged all-russian support for aggression against ukraine . one group of volunteers who are a neighbor of more than 200 people, although such propaganda has less effect on the russians, it is an attempt at internal propaganda to somehow at least solve the issue of russia 's unpreparedness for a large-scale war, they are not ready and were and

still are. that is, the number of forces and means that they can it is not enough to concentrate in order to enter simultaneously in several directions and capture such a large country as ukraine. and that is, they cannot do it and now they are trying to somehow attract a-a to their armed forces more people, people don't really want to go. they don't really want it, they don't go according to plan, but the quality of these new units is extremely low. israeli journalist avran shmolevich, who closely follows the russian-ukrainian war, says that basically all so -called volunteers are ordinary mercenaries we promise moscow we are crazy, especially with estimates of salary regions, but as always, promises are not fulfilled, we already have enough phenomenology for everyone такие контакты от рождественные на судячие мне выплачивает всё reading the state of affairs will definitely understand all

the versions and fighting in the occupied south is basically nothing, most of the new russian tanks and armored vehicles have been turned into scrap metal, now moscow is opening a stockpile, getting fire fighters earlier for canned tanks and large-caliber guns , any technical person who has dealt with technicians will tell you that the conservation of equipment is a myth , because it usually does not work to conserve equipment and then quickly deconserve it. because if the equipment has not worked there for decades, then it will not work without serious repair work and with this they remained, that is, they have a large amount of equipment on paper, but in fact they can put it on combat duty much less, the number reaches one, that is, until the arrival of t-62 tanks in ukraine, when this tank was developed the russian minister of defense shigu just went to the first class, if we draw analogies with the second world war, then russia is now in a worse

position than germany after the landing of the allies in normandy in 1944, then hitler won the war on two fronts currently, putin is trying to do something on three operational lines: the kharkiv region, the donbass and the kherson front, and since russia does not have the resources to achieve success on three fronts at once, this creates opportunities for the maneuver of the armed forces, in other words, the general situation in the south can be assessed as very cautious optimism if it is correct to make decisions there if it is correct to distribute forces and means i think there you can achieve success in several directions, have you read the encirclement of the enemy or the repulse of the enemy or in further and admitting him to the offensive, this is already how the decision will be made. well, what i observe in terms of the deployment of means, in particular, in particular, we have the initiative there and in terms of artillery in some directions, this is thanks to our artillerymen, thanks to the correct organization of the fire system, at the same time, says roman

kostenko, our further actions in the south are, firstly, a military secret, and secondly, they are known only to the highest military and political leadership, and a lot will depend on what the russians will do in other areas of hostilities, in other words, to predict how the events in the south will develop without knowing putin's plans is impossible, but the fact remains that near kherson already the armed forces dictate their will and the deoccupation of the regions opens the way not only for the liberation of the zaporizhzhia region, and therefore the meeting of kherson watermelons with the vineyards of sevastopol is only a matter of time pavlo vasyl ictv facts of the week are the only news ports in black sea and southern odesa resumed work and began to prepare for grain export, the ministry of infrastructure reported, after which a powerful diplomatic landing of ambassadors landed in south palmyra jason and the representative of turkey stated the importance of food exports and called on

russia to respect the grain agreement. how is the odesa port being prepared? oleksiy kobzar's report from south palmyra . small streets and frequent alarms. rocket attacks and the constant risk of provocations . the facts of the week saw how life in odessa has changed now and how the ukrainian military is ready to give the occupier a thumbs up and found out whether grain will eventually leave ukraine for export 17.1 downloaded ukrainian grain is moored our exclusive from odesa port empty beaches and the main street deribasivska almost no tourists and restaurants without visitors this is what odessa looks like now, of course, a full holiday season is possible after the victory, the arrival of peace in the city now air alarms sound quite often because

new missile attacks are impossible every minute there is an air alarm here, all the residents are gathering in the parking lot, that is, the residents of the neighboring houses know how to ignore the alarm signal it is impossible, the tragedy that happened in this building was loudly discussed by the whole country, this is where the kremlin invaders kissed at the end of april, a russian rocket hit here between the fourth and fifth floors, as a result, eight people died, including a young mother and a three-month-old baby , now life in the house is slowly recovering repair work is also being completed, people are returning , that is, uh, children, there will be more children in chasyky. well, life goes on, preparations are also being made in the city for the new school year, rescuers they inspect the bomb shelters, so for the first graders, because this is how it is done here, usually the zones, the play areas are divided, they are

made for places to sit, and they check whether there is a supply of water, medicines and hygiene products. however, they will return to the classrooms to study. adapt for shelter, that is, there are no even elementary basements. odessa still remains one of the key goals of the kremlin, that is why the ukrainian military does not lose its vigilance, not even for a minute, it is one of the defensive positions of our defenders in odesa. let's go and see what our guys are ready to meet and deal with the enemy if he accidentally tries to approach our borders again here with the start of a full-scale war in a 24/7 mode. we will always be a fighter with the call sign valikula, a machine gunner, and not let

the enemy boats in, and here the fighters have something to treat the occupiers, an exclusive fact of the week is shown western weapons from our partners are generally the in love portable anti-tank missile, but the skilled fighters of the armed forces of ukraine managed to adapt this weapon not only for work on land and not only against tanks, the effective range is from 20 to 800 meters , it can be used for anti-boats, and there are others samples well, how are there weapons here, if 7.62 and 14.5 would be bought? that is, what a bad question. if someone could fill the sea under reliable land protection to reach odessa, the russians are hindered by the well-planned defense of mykolaiv, but new provocations on the part of the russians cannot be ruled out. moreover, when ukraine agreed to export grain from its territory, what was the

istanbul agreement worth? russia demonstrated within a day after the signing that a rocket hit one of the odesa ports, two rockets hit the porto station , and another as many were shot down by ukrainian air defense what was it like to live with these people? andriy saw it with his own eyes. i have not yet encountered such sounds during the war, because it was right in the immediate vicinity near us. it was very loud with many people nearby. she even sewed up her ears and here is such a cloud as the very moment of the explosion. i managed to capture, fortunately, there were no victims, the grain that was being prepared for export also survived the agreements under the guarantees of the un and turkey - it did not fail, and therefore the last preparations are being completed in the ports. 17.1 loaded with ukrainian zerd are moored in in the ports of odesa since february of this year, and on friday the loading of new vessels resumed and soon they will set sail.

a ukrainian boxer and security will be guaranteed by turkish frigates in the black sea zone , an inspection of the ship will take place near the island of snake and already this is where the caravan will disband or reassemble further, it is already underway, the territorial waters of romania are leading, at the moment there is normal sea traffic there, defined routes of sports odesa and sports chornomorsk for the final confirmation of the routes ukraine is waiting for representatives of the un two ports are already ready to start - this is chornomorsk odesa by the end of the next we hope that we will be ready to monitor the implementation of the grain agreement at this port. heads of state and ambassadors of the g7 countries have arrived in odesa. the flights may start in the next few days. the main thing now is that the russians do not disrupt this export and do not arrange new

provocations in odesa, even though the city has everything ready despite the fact that odessa still remains one of the main targets of the russians, and the city itself is subjected to more and more missile attacks, life does not stop here, the military is ready to defend to the last cities, and odessans themselves are already waiting for the next peaceful season to welcome millions of tourists as before the war because ukrainians cannot be broken oleksiy kobzar facts of the week ictv the only news in the club of world terrorists is preparing a place for a newcomer to the dprk iran cuba and syria russia may join the chances of this have increased after the decision of the us senate, which adopted a resolution calling on the us state department to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism, because moscow regularly and deliberately terrorizes ukrainian civilians kropyvnytskyi kharkiv chuguiev mykolaiv nikopol, which russian terrorists recently

shelled the villages of our report from there with a volley of fire from the occupiers, this footage was taken on the night before friday. and so almost every night and in the middle of july, nikopol is subjected to massive shelling, the city has been forced to live in a neighborhood with the russian occupiers for almost 5 months, they have established themselves on the other bank of the dnieper, literally opposite in the occupied energodar and since that time we lived expecting that something like this would probably happen and it started now the russians are resorting to their favorite tactics of terror and non-selective of shelling every night, there were nights when they fired twice and today was also such a night, about 300 rocket munitions were fired in the territory of the district, one of the shells recently destroyed the house of mrs. natali, they hit the subject, the shell

stuck inside the house, we pulled the shell out of the house , or that's all. what's left is this we cleared the field, but what remained was a pile of boards, you see, a pile of bricks is enough to sort out the rubble of the destroyed house , friends and colleagues helped natalya herself shortly before the shelling, and it saved her life, but here svitlana and taras were at home on the night of the shelling, you could say they were born in our shirt, a shell came to us that night, the whole family was at home and my husband and children and my brother, it turns out, began to suffocate there and made their way through my room and the first shell landed in the neighboring yard the next one hit the house of the nagai family, the two sons were completely destroyed, and the remaining two sevens, and sometimes part of the roof, if you touch it, it does not hold,

even the children remembered this night for a long time in the family. they listen to every noise in my daughter three hairs turned gray i kissed her on the head and saw a russian woman shelling the city and the surrounding villages and other settlements nearby, in my opinion this is a new level of terror that they are carrying out we saw this on the example of the first chechen war we saw this on the example of the second chechen war. we saw this even in georgia, and at first there were searches of districts and already dozens of wounded, among them children, women and the elderly, we have apartments that are damaged, broken windows, you know, temporary destruction, some six of houses completely destroyed destroyed four kindergartens four schools and they still don't let up dozens of new projectiles are fired towards the city by the russians almost every day we are just on our nerves we just don't get enough sleep i could sleep maybe two or three hours a day well, i could sleep for days to sleep, the occupiers

occupied the territory of the zaporizhia npp, this is the largest nuclear power plant in europe, and use it as a shield . shelling from the territory of the nuclear power plant is a provocation of our army so that we start shooting in response to its territory of the nuclear power plant station, many people of mariupol are currently traveling away from the shelling, now we are not staying at friends in the city of nikopol for the night, a third of the residents have already left the city, some are moving to the depths of the district. house at 12 o'clock at night there was a big big explosion in the neighboring house, i was ready at that moment to grab the child, just run away, brag a little, everything is fine, everything is

fine, the woman and the children now live in the village away from the temporarily occupied territories, the heart is there. i have a house there. i have a mother there who did not want. my mother is a pensioner, she did not want to go with me. nikopol utility workers quickly eliminate the consequences of shelling, remove broken glass, patch holes from projectiles, significant problems with water, and there is no gas supply at the moment, there is also no light, the shelling of the townspeople will soon stop and they hope to return home in the meantime. who is waiting for victory? and they believe everything oleksiy kobzar facts of the week ictv the only news shock of the week mass murder in fact the loss of ukrainian prisoners of war in the deer park russia's interests are here like in the palm of the hand first of all an attempt to

discredit ukraine in the eyes of the western partners they say this is how they used haimas russian propagandists as usual instantly found themselves on the spot tragedies, and the main one - the official mouthpiece of the kremlin, ria novosti even posted a photo of the wreckage of the rocket, although later it turned out that it was just an archival photo. the second reason - the russian authorities got rid of it in one fell swoop several dozen legendary defenders of the azovstali whom she promised to hand over in exchange to the red cross, but she was afraid to do so due to the loss of ratings among the russian population pumped with hatred, there is another reason to hide the abuse of paramilitary prisoners and the embezzlement of funds for their receipt, this became known to the ministry of defense, according to their data, the terrorist attack in ulanivka organized by the wagnerites , ukraine currently demands that representatives of the red cross be admitted to the scene of the tragedy to conduct

an independent investigation. russia yesterday, as if she agreed, but we know what her word is worth, the answer is that ukraine will be on the battlefield, for this we only need weapons this week, it seems that the western partners have again begun to wave at the transfer of aircraft to ukraine, will they dare to replenish the park of ukrainian fighters equals , when slovakia will transfer to modernized mig-29 f16 fighters of the fourth generation from the united states, the main task now will be to destroy anti-aircraft e-e objects can it is very difficult to change the situation at the front without air cover, it is very difficult to succeed in ground operations, this is a well-known truth of ukraine

since the beginning of the russian invasion, calling to give us planes, but only in recent weeks, we heard serious signals about the possible transfer of such necessary fighter jets to ukraine at the beginning of the week, the minister of defense of slovakia yaroslav nad said that his country is ready to consider providing ukraine with 11 mig-29 fighter jets at once, this is significant, this is a whole squadron, because the use of these airplanes do not require personnel training, nor modernization of airfield infrastructure, nor the purchase of any weapons that we did not have before, the history of the transfer of aviation to ukraine began at the beginning of the russian invasion, then, after the intentions of europe to transfer 70 mig -29 and 125 aircraft to ukraine, putin ordered the transfer of nuclear troops of russia in a special duty mode, and after scuttling about it, he explained the situation that the secret

approach is connected with the fact that the dank planes should not be transferred so that it does not escalate, they are afraid in this situation of escalation, there is not enough willpower, they explain it with their wisdom, but now we have our own, as it were, after ukraine heard about receiving may the mars and winning victories at the front. slovakia was the first to decide to show where it saw the threat of the kremlin, the slovaks themselves are waiting for the replacement of the ordered f16 fighters and after the transfer to ukraine , the czech republic and poland could and would help them protect the airspace. the usa has already sent fifth-generation f-22 fighters to the poles as part of the nato mission to protect the airspace of the alliance countries the situation with slovakia with the transfer of e-e mig-29, which is modernized and according to

nato standards, a foreign system has been introduced on them, new radars are new from the avionics system and so on , that is, these planes are e-e better compared to those samples that are in ukraine because we have only a few samples of the mig-29, which has undergone a certain modernization, currently two types of fighters mig-29 and su-27 are used a year ago facts of the week filmed an exclusive material about the work of a pilot on the su-27 where they talked about features of the basic weapons, let's say this is the barrel of this gun, that is, the end, and here it itself can be built inside, and it is already the very end , that is, the projectiles fly out from here, let's say, what caliber is there, 30 mm, both for air combat and for ground purposes, that is, from the gun it is possible to give it right on the ground or

otut somewhere on the wings a rocket is attached, modernized slovak migs are much less than the 127, but they will definitely be a fire solution to replenish the fighter aircraft in ukraine, but first, spare parts for their repair now in short supply due to the fact that they are produced by the occupying country, and secondly, these planes, unfortunately, do not solve the tasks of mastering the sky over ukraine, they say in the air force command that the enemy has changed the tactics of using its aviation, they are now operating outside the territory of ukraine, they do not fly flowers , space is not enough for them must have the missile weapons that they have and they strike far and to the border of ukraine here. our aviation is a head below them technologically, and the number there is five to six times 9 superior in terms of the number of aircraft, we have to fight them in er hmm

with other approaches, it is clear that we need modern weapons, fresh from which pilots control the fourth generation fighters in the 23rd year, according to experts, everything speaks of the serious intentions of the united states in the future to transfer such aircraft to ukraine, the most likely solution is the f-16 and f -15 igor in 16 is one of the most massive light fighters that exist in the world, about 4,000 of them have been produced, and the aircraft which
