every missile attack will lead to the shutdown of power units. this is obvious to any specialist. there is no secret in this. even for us, not for them. therefore, i will not reveal any secrets, but i still hope that they are mad, but not so mad that you understand that sometimes i feel like that what is the impression, what is maria, what is the situation, we still have mr. people , nutrition, a consultant of the project management group for improving the safety of power units at nuclear power plants, an expert in nuclear energy was in touch with us, i think we still have to say one important thing, maria, what are they, they are afraid of a nuclear bomb, let’s say use it like this . this is how nuclear blackmail is carried out with the help of a power plant, which the volker-express representative of the state department for ukraine commented

the day before for the ukrainian media about nuclear blackmail by putin and he actually spoke about the fact that he does not think that putin will dare to use nuclear weapons against ukraine, but he did not say anything about the situation in the new zealand, which will become the same meaning, that is, your predicting something. let 's try to talk about what is happening in the south happening roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada's committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine, we are in touch roman congratulations congratulations well, the russians are accumulating forces in the south and this is a very important moment, how do you understand all of us now rain they were seriously interested in what they are going to do in general, this is an eternal plan, mykolaiv, odesa , transnistria and moldova, or do they want to defend

kherson? and if kherson, then in what way, speaking according to the data of our intelligence according to its analysis , they do not see now that the russian federation will advance right now in the short term in the direction of mykolaiv and odesa, but we really see that there is an accumulation, this may be primarily a response to the fact that we have their mass media was constantly. we remember there were talks about the so-called counteroffensive plus from my point of view , and this is a really promising place, especially if we take this bridgehead on the right bank of the dnieper. this is really a promising city for us, they will come well, under other circumstances, it would be possible to carry out an operation if there were enough means to throw the enemy there in a difficult situation. there are only two roads that you can supply

ammunition to, so their main task is to make it possible for us to knock them out on the other side . dnipro, but in the future, they understand that they will need to break this distance of impression with our means of impression, well, hyper, exactly along the antoniv bridge, along the uh, the kakhovsky dam, they need to increase this distance, uh, and this is a question it is worth it, it can be done only at the expense of an offensive to the west and the capture of mykolaiv there, and in the further development to odesa. i think they understand this and in their plans they have not changed it, their ambitions for the sector are for the capture of the entire south. i have more than once already said and we can see that the battle for the south is still ahead. well, yesterday we discussed information from british intelligence, which reported that the enemy was moving significant forces to the south, and already today

the times wrote about it with reference to the data and british intelligence and ukrainian intelligence, and according to the publication, there are probably up to 10,000 russian soldiers on the west bank of the dnieper, who were sent to encircle mykolaiv. and in general, to transfer 25,000 troops to the temporarily occupied territories of southern ukraine, this is how the enemy may act in the near future, trying to realize his goal like these materials of british intelligence and the world press, you, mr. roman, can you comment on how the situation looks in your eyes with forecasts for the next few weeks, what will happen happen with these 27 five thousand russian soldiers, you know how they will act in a modern war and you can see and count thousands

of soldiers. of russian troops, for example, in our territory, in different areas, 150-170,000. and we have about a million security and defense forces, and they are still advancing in some areas. therefore, now the equipment that one or the other side has plays an important role, if we we see from the russian troops, they mainly drop their paratrooper units here, these are combat vehicles , they reinforce them somewhere in some directions with tanks , in particular, sometimes t-62 tanks of old models and artillery, so at the moment, those groups what are there, if we take the same paratroopers, then from a moral point of view they are stronger than their infantry. but really, if we take them from a technical point of view , then they are weaker, to say specifically,

now that they are throwing them here so that they already now we are attacking, we can’t do it, we can’t see it, we only see the accumulation. i think they are more afraid that we won’t counterattack and it wasn’t here. they saw that there is little power and means that we, which participants took the initiative and are afraid that i will throw them out for eh on the left bank of the dnieper and did not repulse and did not disconnect from those supplies by destroying their bridges and those troops that were here before their reserves began to approach, we heard their interceptions. they were very nervous about being surrounded so i think they received such help at the expense of the offensive, the order could be given at any moment, but now we see that it is in the near future, and our intelligence gives information that while they are not planning what, let's touch on the topic of the grain corridors

that became operational this week and here in the ministry of infrastructure they report that they are considering the option of blocking the ports of mykolaiv oblast for the export of grain. this was reported by the head of the mykolaiv region, vitaly. to the list of unblocked ports in the near future when, as we can see according to the reports of british intelligence, the enemy is concentrating on mykolaiv as the number one strategic goal of the local administration , they see the situation and make a decision, i think there in agreement with the office of the president in the first place, but what i see is that the enemy is shelling mykolaiv, in particular, and they are under fire almost every day , so from my point of view, this can lead to danger, because he is an enemy, in particular, even when there are some promises, we

saw not to hit these objects. but everything is fine, everything is arriving fine, and the fact that they are now carrying out, in particular, not very accurate missiles, endangers the work of these parties, in particular, in general. well, and the fact is that the united states is preparing a package of new defense assistance for ukraine, the cost is 1 billion dollars, we know that it is signed. it should be the president of the usa by joe biden tomorrow, august 8. we only know that according to the media, which refer to their sources in the pentagon, additional additional anti-aircraft systems for sams and ammunition should also be included for the rsv hymeris and armored medical vehicles, etc. in your opinion, what do you think the fighters in mykolaiv oblast need most now, and how do you actually feel that over the past few months, our uh,

our armed forces and potential in the south have been strengthened precisely thanks to uh help from the allies, in particular it is necessary to increase the number of long-range weapons, of course i would like to, of course, now we have himer missiles there, a maximum of 60 km away. the russians will not change their tactics before that if we could not hit at a distance of 60 km, they captured some of their logistics at those critical e ranges for us, then hymers appeared and destroyed a number of ammunition depots and we felt it on the front line that the density of fire became less and the logistics were destroyed, but now they have come to another. they have roughly calculated where we can reach and are starting to accumulate there again several kilometers further so that

we cannot reach the warehouses with ammunition we really need to respond to this again. therefore, we need weapons that will continue to strike in order to impose our actions on the enemy and give them the opportunity to concentrate their forces and resources on er at some distances and simply damage their logistics and er to make it more difficult, and these are the missiles that fly. well, we all say at 300 km, if we have it, we will be able to strike at places from the accumulation of their aviation, this is also where they directly deploy chaplynyks, and in the crimea, they are located where we cannot to get and our the points sometimes do not arrive because they shoot them down, so really, first of all, it is the knocking out of logistics, what we are talking about is active 155 mm rockets that can hit the enemy there up to 40 km, in particular, barrel artillery,

this is so basic that now, because this is a missile artillery war, then the main forces are the means, this is the missile artillery weapon, everything else is auxiliary, it is either enough or you can do without it somewhere radio-electronic intelligence, it is possible to talk about birds that fly and satellites, it is very important, satellite information . we know about it, this attempt on this new kakhovsky collaborator. yes , this is a serious event. to what extent, in principle, can ukrainians weaken the position of the occupiers with internal resistance? i think it is possible in many heads

er, partisanship and resistance of the opposition must have looked as massive as we saw. it must have been in soviet films or there are still whole squads walking through the enemy 's fields and causing him some kind of damage. methods, because having these forces and means, the methods and modern technology that the enemy has, in fact, now in ukraine, eh, in front of everyone's eyes , a new eh, sometimes a new kind of opposition is formed in blood, with this partisan who has completely different, let's say completely different methods of even fighting because well, there is no such thing as it was during the second world war, so even what we do is, and we impress it with the help of, well, very serious work of our special services, our people who are directly the

executors of take courage from such technical limitations in such technical means of counter-intelligence, regimes of counter-intelligence on that side that can perform these tasks. i think that in the future it will only grow, new forms will be found and methods of combating all those possible tools of detection well, let's fight on , mr. roman, the other day such an inspiring photo appeared on social networks in which you are general marchenko, ex-head of the defense of the south and head of mykolaiv lav vitaly kim together and then who commented to the central committee gave a little more information about why marchenko returned to mykolaiv oblast and says that general dmytro marchenko came to establish effective interaction between leaders and military structures that is, for the establishment of cooperation between the military and

civilians, how important is the presence of marchenko in the south, how much does the overall success of our counteroffensive depend on specific leaders, their intellectual potential, their military experience, how powerful is the team currently assembled in the south from the ukrainian side, well , general marchenko, he has become a symbol of the protection of mykolaiv here like never before say, everyone is talking about it, everyone knows it, really, i think that when we talk about general marchenko and he talks about it there, you know, it is, as they say, collective marchenko, because everyone put a lot of effort into the fact that we really repelled the enemy, but he was able to rally people around him and let's say that what happened happened. names are important, really important, i will say that in modern warfare, you rise

to the attack and when you are under fire in general, 155 artillery hails, hurricanes, and here. you know, sometimes courage is not needed. and sometimes you look at yourself and think. i don't know some kind of reckless, because well, it's really beyond the edge of some human capabilities when you're just covered with artillery and really only such people are commanders. it's important that there are commanders who can still explain to the soldiers to do the same there was no fire and there was no lead because it is important to lead, as a rule, they follow the commander without a commander, few people go there. since we talked about major general marchenko, we cannot but touch on two interesting predictions regarding the duration of the war in ukraine, which appeared simultaneously in the last few days, one of them is now

being discussed by everyone, the forecast of the former us special representative for ukraine, kurt volker , who was quoted by the publication to introduce a review that says that the war will not end quickly and that the hostilities will continue in the winter, as well as in the spring and summer of next year, general major dmytro marchenko gave a comment to ukrainian media and told journalist taras berezovts that, in his opinion, the hot phase of a full-scale war in russia against ukraine will be completed by the end of the year, mr. roman . in your opinion, how close is the forecast to reality, and yet what is your feeling about the duration of the hostilities ? what does he give, what forecasts does he give, i will say that i am probably more inclined to those

forecasts, well, look here, you just said that general marchenko said about the hot phase of the war, and the walker course, for example, is about the war in general. here is the question of the hot phase of the war, which, as a rule, even i i think that the history and the art of war and the rules of war are usually fought in the winter. after all, they itch under different climatic conditions and everything else, that's why the battles are really so fierce, they subside a little and then in the spring they will recover again and i am also really sure that we should already think about that and get used to the fact that the war with the russian federation will not end quickly and we will say in this well more than until the end of the year and we should prepare to restore our defense and industrial complex to prepare our lives for this, we must

understand how to rebuild ukraine in the conditions of russian aggression, so there is no need to hope and there, somehow, somehow, prepare ourselves for the fact that it will happen quickly well, we really got into a situation historically we are now making history, we are we will definitely not let go this time because we had many historical moments that russia did not allow us to use now we have no other way if we have to fight for it for 10 years we will fight for it for 10 years we have no other way thank you roman kostenko cyborg people's deputy of ukraine secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence and the sbu colonel was in touch with us right now we are moving on to the situation in the east of our country public activist when is the platoon commander aydar head of the national antarctic science center and the ten military experts, we congratulate mr. yevhen

glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, in principle , a military expert in no way well, but we live in a country where there are many military experts, i'm joking but listen, we really need to understand what's going on with the east, well, in detail now, they probably talked about the south, but in the east, no one has gone anywhere, as far as i'm concerned. now, in your opinion, the russians have a principled east in this situation, uh, which is tied to the rooster, and they should in principle, in the south, continue to recapture donetsk region, but they, er, are with the russians now, er, the problem is related to the fact that they had to transfer part of their forces from donbas, er , to the south. time they showed quite well that they have a serious problem with personnel, but we have completely opposite problems with them. we have enough people. i am not talking about the level of training of these people. i am

talking about the number, but at the same time there is not enough in fact, what can these people put in their hands except for old kalashnikovs, there is not enough heavy iron, first of all, there is not enough artillery, what to put these people on so that they go somewhere, they have the opposite picture, they have enough iron and a bull, but very serious problems are already starting with personnel caused by the fact that they, well, they have a special operation. but they can't carry out a total mobilization, and let's say standard methods of replenishment have already exhausted themselves. well, at the moment, they probably manage to replenish the number that we disable increase is out of the question, and therefore, when they need to maneuver in some way, they are forced to transfer e-e units within the limits of this huge thousand-kilometer front of ours, and in particular e the actual transfer of part of the forces e to the south e a little weakened their pressure on donbas, but in general, in donbas, after a short break

, the story that lasted throughout june and july continues solid leveling of settlements with artillery , and only when, in principle, there is no settlement left, a solid ruin remains, in which it is physically impossible to stay, but only then enemy infantry already enters there, they took so the so-called operational pause, they tried to find some , let's say, a more creative solution, and as a result, this uh-uh attack came out of the window, while they still have this superiority in artillery and ammunition, they decided that since this is their only advantage , they should use it to the maximum and went further just before we restored the team that was in may,

only then they had to occupy the entire donbas until the end of june, now they simply moved the deadline to the end of the church. now they have set the same task of reaching the administrative borders of the two regions or, in their terminology, on the border of the fairy-tale republics. so, and there. unfortunately, this continues. that is , the most unpleasant form of war for us continues there. this is precisely the frontal war. the appearance of the chemical weapons made life difficult for the russians, but let's be realistic with a front length of 1,200 km. 16 ukrainian soldiers cannot simply completely break the entire course of events . life is complicated for them. their logistics have become much more complicated than they were a month ago, but they they just use this arithmetical advantage over the bull, yes, a large part of this bull is now falling victim to our kevres, but even what

is left is still enough for this shaft of fire to last, eh, how long will it last, of course, eh, a very difficult question, eh well, if we consider that nothing significant will actually change and it will just be the same as before, well, i will quote the well- known terrorist gorkin that before the first frosts , they still have a chance to completely oust us from the territory of the donetsk region. another question are they able to maintain such an intensity of this art training and this and this offensive all the time before the first frosts, do you understand why they again began to act in several directions at once well, the experience of february and march should have convinced them that it is necessary to concentrate somewhere, they do not they may simply not have enough strength to act immediately in the north, in the south, in the east , right now, too, it’s east, south

. in general, it’s just a bluff that this is exactly uh, in fact, that it should be considered not as an attempt of a really serious offensive everywhere, but as an attempt to simply push us as quickly as possible to negotiations and to peaceful , unfavorable terms, that is, that this is just such a military demonstration, that is, an illustration of the messages that they transmitted through fedor rdg and the messages they transmitted through regarding radagan, in fact, if you decipher them, they sound quite simple. in my opinion, the first message is that we are starting to burn out, we are starting to lose this war , the second message is that you ukrainians are capitulating in a hurry that's actually such super impudence. that's what it's called. you know what it's called. but the idea is exactly that.

time has started to work very hard against them. they're on fire and that's why they're trying to run. that's what it's called. sorry for the vocabulary, but let's take a cue. let 's not forget. that we are dealing with st. petersburg gopniks with a completely appropriate psychology, but not exclusively that this attempt to simulate an attack is everywhere at the same time. their political leadership once again does not take into account what our army is really capable of and what it is not capable of and sets them a completely unrealistic task . this would be the best explanation for us. god grant that this will happen in the end. well, finally, they understand that the price of the offensive is doomed, but they believe that this is the only chance to somehow avoid our great counteroffensive, they were hovering, uh, this expected counteroffensive

in the south, but only the lazy did not talk about it, moreover, in ukraine and among our allies, the russians could possibly come to the conclusion that the only way to disrupt this counterattack is to try to strike first so that we have to repel the attack and not, on the contrary, attack ourselves, well, you know, as a person who travels a lot, let's say to the front there, and in particular, he came back from the south exactly a week ago, uh, by the way although in our time it will work, many of us work part-time, a week is a lot, but one way or another, i would say that i was pleased with the information that they are trying to attack first, so let them fight both of them about our already well-established defense will lose five to one, and not the other way around, we will break through their frantic defenses under kherson, boys, finally, i would like to ask you a

question, the zygardia of this era wrote about new photos and video evidence of yet another atrocity in the russian military, and published materials from a severed human head is placed on the table in the occupied luhansk region captured by the russian occupiers, and next to the plants are severed human hands a prisoner of war of the 21st century, occupied popasna, a human skull on the fences of the russians, there is nothing human, we are fighting with non-humans well, let's also say that the blindfold identified the russian occupier who tortured and tortured the captured ukrainian soldier, they managed to establish that the abuse took place on the territory of the privilne sanatorium near lysychansk , luhansk region, the territory was under control of the russian occupiers in early july,

according to the investigators, militants from bata a khmer and chechen paramilitary forces took part in the torture a formation that is part of the russian armed forces is participating in the war in ukraine, and with the atrocities of the russians against ukrainian prisoners of war in donetsk and luhansk regions, we can see that the red cross ion washes its hands of the guarantees of the liberation of our azov citizens, regarding the responsibility for, in particular, the deer, whether the russian military will bear responsibility and whether they will begin to demonstrate effectiveness of international organizations unequivocally no, here we have nothing to even discuss, no international organizations will do anything here. and your first question is - the answer to it will be decided at the front when russia, uh, i hope will lose this war completely, so then one of the key conditions for future peace and the lifting of sanctions should be the extradition of a war criminal . it is quite obvious , especially since the russian state absolutely encourages

this behavior, that is, they do not just tolerate it, they actually encourage it, you know, excesses can happen anywhere, but not anywhere , then these excesses are proudly exhibited by the official the embassy of the state on its website, this is the fundamental difference between the empire and the evil and any other army where someone from the military could one day break down there and commit some crime, then it is absolutely clearly supported at the state level , for the atrocities of the russians, their armed forces punish them of ukraine, in particular, as it became known today, the censor.net publication reported that the occupiers of the 64th separate motorized rifle brigade of the russian army, who tortured the civilians of buchi in the kyiv region, were liquidated, the strategic communications center of the armed forces reported this ukraine informs thank you, mr. yevhen yevhen dykiy was in touch again, a public activist and ex-confectioner of the aydar battalion, we will take a break for the

news and after that we will return to our air. and see you again thank you colleagues for a moment about the most important events at this time i will tell almost 18 in ukraine time of news on the espresso tv channel congratulations in the studio of iryna koval potential damage to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant expressed concern moldova ministry of foreign affairs stated about it foreign diplomats called to give access to the station to experts compete deeply concerned about the attack on the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant we call to give access to international experts compete potential damage to the ss can affect
