, explosions rang out in sumy oblast, as of august 11, russia has already lost 43,000 servicemen in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine eliminated two hundred occupiers since the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 1,846 tanks, 1,100 armored fighting vehicles, 974 artillery systems, 261 jet systems said by fire 134 means of anti-air defense 232 airplanes 193 helicopters 318 units of automotive equipment 15 ships and boats 185 cruise missiles 772 drones and 90 units of special equipment as noted in the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, the enemy suffered the greatest losses this day in the donetsk direction about the situation in crimea in the south on the eastern and northern fronts of ukraine, we will

talk today, during our program, about night cotton at the belarusian airfield zyabrivka, where russian planes are located, and also about how the russians are also blackmailing the zaporizhzhya npp the whole world is connected to me refat chubarov is the angel of the crimean tatar people mr. refate good day good health to you thank you for participating in our program good day to you good to your viewers mr. refate let's start our conversation the situation in crimea, we know that on august 9, nine military aircraft were destroyed at the novofedrivka airfield - this is near the city of saka, according to cnn research, this may be the largest loss, the largest loss of military aviation moscow in one day during the second world war, the nature of the cause of these explosions is deep in the rear of the russian troops , so far unknown to the general public or the expert community, the armed forces of ukraine

advise the russian occupiers not to smoke near their airfields. well, on the photos of the american company of planets leps e-e, you can see large sections of burnt earth, apparently due to the fire that broke out after the explosions, the main runways of the airfield seem to have remained safe, however , at least 9 aircraft appear destroyed or seriously damaged what mr. rifat is talking about this story in the crimea, well, it is clear that the first priority for the people who live in the crimea or are currently in the crimea is that this is an event that is being discussed already the second day , but different assessments and different behavior, let's

start with these people who in crimea do not accept the russian occupation, who are waiting for the restoration of the state sovereignty of ukraine, and whose expectations have greatly increased after february 24 as a result of such a geological heroic heroic the resistance of the armed forces of ukraine, in general, of the ukrainian people to russian aggression, and now you already know that the first real bell, except for the obligatory one, will be released, and this bell has sounded in the crimean land, people are very, well, what cheered up the spirits of these people i

repeat myself very often, but this is a concrete thing that shows the behavior of people. on that day, dozens of people called me who dared to do this because they are already in danger. in our country, when there is some joy in the house, the society says this expression - it is such a festive coffee, festive coffee. on the return of the sovereignty of ukraine, this crimea drank celebratory coffee, but there is a second part of crimea - these are those who settled in the crimea during the eight years of occupation, according to official occupation data

, about 600,000 such people, according to independent experts near millions do people understand perfectly that they illegally settled on a foreign land due to the seizure of land, it is now summer and there are still a sufficient number of russian citizens in crimea who cannot go anywhere because they either have to get visas they give them or sanctions and that is why they went to crimea to rest on the black sea on our sea and this part of the population is already panicking. i think you should look at many videos of multi-kilometer traffic jams on all roads leading to the bridge across the kerch strait. i am sure that among those who are in a hurry to return to their land in russia, there are only resting, but there are also members of the families of f-e p-

employees of the fsb e prosecutor's office of the russian military. so this is an attack. and i am sure that this is an attack f-e and this event has become very significant for crimea. i want there to be further actions that f-e support f - the patriotic spirit of the crimeans, as i have already said somewhere again, there are very worthy goals in sevastopol. there are berths where russian warships are being prepared. well, it is clear that there is a bridge across the kerch strait, through which russian equipment is imported during the day occupied crimea during the last eight years, which have passed

since the annexation of crimea, russia has turned the peninsula into a militarized zone, loaded with weapons . this is how it was in soviet times . ukraine well, it is not clear in the black sea region where they can still use their power. this also means the military, which has more than 30 thousand personnel there units of equipment, planes in the waters of the black sea, now there are about 80 boats and ships in the black sea fleet of the russian federation, and it is clear that when we talk about the deoccupation of crimea, it is obvious that the concept that putin and lavrov so often trump is demilitarization, it

fits for crimea we will need to demilitarize crimea and i remember when the prospects of staying in the black sea fleet in crimea were discussed even before the annexation, they said that in order to withdraw all the equipment and in general all russians were meant servicemen with equipment, they need at least seven years, according to you, how long will it take the ukrainian army to turn the crimean peninsula from a militarized zone back into a resort crimean peninsula. look, you really remembered the times of the ussr in one word. i know this question because i was specifically engaged in the military doctorate of the former ussr, crimea was given a special role and it was called so in

russian, even the aircraft carrier and the military doctrine of the soviet union came from there to strike at the united states and its allies, turkey and other countries that are located in this large black sea mediterranean space, independent russia, after the collapse of the ussr, after some time, it restored this doctrine, and with the purchase of ukrainian crimea, moscow really set a task with and there is a task to turn crimea into such a military fortress and she tried to do it from here, russia threatens nato countries and this is bulgaria, romania, turkey, but

what happened on the 9th of august, the strikes on one of the most prominent military units currently occupying these military units demonstrated to our allies and partners that all these efforts of russia to present that, in addition to that, the occupied crimea is now so protected by their anti-aircraft forces and other types of weapons. it is still to some extent a bluff as a bluff and many other aspects of the military military sphere and therefore it should give us all confidence because the liberation of crimea will take place quite short terms. i really hope that without

particularly brutal battles, because russia at that moment will already be at the stage of its total and economic and political decline from all spheres, and it is clear that with the restoration of ukraine's sovereignty over crimea, it will be very important already the vision and proposals of the ukrainian state regarding this great space and the black mediterranean space and the approaches of ukraine must in many ways determine the policy of our neighbors and partners and and and well and and and well and any neighbors. i don't think that the ukrainian state and i wouldn't want it. after what we 're going through right now, we will now

advocate to some extent for the demilitarization of this region. i think that we will develop crimea. well e-e as a territory e-e that is of exceptional importance for e-e ukrainian independent state, it is clear that first of all we will think about the future of those people who are directly connected with crimea and without crimea they can simply disappear from e-e of this civilization map, in particular, the indigenous peoples of crimea crimean tatars are karaites krymchaks but at that time i think that we will draw a lot of conclusions from this russian-ukrainian war. i think that crimea , in addition to beautifying the ukrainian state as much as possible, will also fulfill the role of the defender of the ukrainian state on the black sea.

broadcast on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us live, please like this video and take part in our vote, we are asking today about zabrivka, about belarusians, you know that tonight the events took place at this military airfield where russian planes are based, so we ask you about this, should ukraine attack belarusian military airfields, well, i mean the tyarodromes, where the russian air force is currently based, which is carrying out strikes on the territory ukrainian states, mr. rifat, since we are talking about and comparing the situation in crimea and in the kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, because now russia is trying to annex kherson and part of the zaporizhzhia region is preparing a

pseudo-referendum there, as it were, on september 11, when the armed forces of ukraine report certain er events, or as it is now customary to talk in social networks about cotton in the kherson region, or er , in the zaporizhia region, they talk about local partisans, what is there people who are either local or actually partisans who moved from the unoccupied part of ukraine there and are waging a guerrilla war, did you mention that there are people in crimea who are waiting for the ukrainian army and their return there are people in ukraine who do not expect this in the discussion about the future of crimea, we always talk about the fact that we must return the island of crimea, the peninsula of crimea, and we must return those people who accepted the citizenship of the russian federation after the annexation

, welcomed putin and the russian troops, which now the ratio in crimea is about those who are waiting for the return of the ukrainian army and people who are not waiting or at least want russia to not always stay there. it is very difficult for you to give specific numbers here. but we have to talk about the fact that the overwhelming majority, i want to talk all of them are the whole crimean tatar people. but it is clear that among the crimean tatars there are also local collaborators. well, thanks to the almighty, our number is very small because we are such a small people that we almost all know each other very well. these are specifiers. or crimean tatars - this is both pluses and possibly minuses, and that's why we have to say that the crimean tatars are ethnic ukrainians. they are waiting for the restoration of the state sovereignty of ukraine, and

a large number of people who lived in crimea, who did not identify themselves as such eh of the active leaders of the russian federation, they were not the initiators of the strengthening of russia's influence in the crimea, but when it began, when it began, when the seizure of crimea began, it is clear that they did not act at least in such a peaceful way. with the protests, they just expected and where will it return such a number of people in crimea. i think the most active part is the active part, and today, despite eight years of all those tragedies , persecutions, stinks that are happening in crimea, the truth is not against such russian people and against

their neighbors, nevertheless, they think that i am normal, when it is the state that they sympathize with, it persecutes people, it destroys them, it squeezes them out of the crimea, such people here hold on to the end of their thoughts, and that is why here, you know, you have to get out of that we are returning the territory, this ukrainian land, and we are returning the people who live in that territory, and the behavior of those people is already how they will behave and how the ukrainian state will behave towards those who directly and absolutely violated the ukrainian the legislation of those who persecuted people is already another such area eh, we will certainly deal with this, but depending on the number of eh now, eh expect or

not expect eh, it will not depend on whether we will return our land or not. we will it is necessary to return our land and even if there, at least one person would wait on the floor of ukraine, because it is the right and duty of our state to restore its territorial integrity, and we must protect all citizens of ukraine in crimea although theirs and maybe not absolutely the majority, but those who consider themselves ukrainians , citizens of ukraine and who are waiting for ukraine and that is why our thinking should simply be based on the fact that we return to our land and our people those who consider themselves not our people, they will find how to behave who has time, who will leave it will not work if he is guilty, he will be punished, mr. refate, we are talking about the possibility

of holding pseudo-referendums in the zaporizhzhia region , part of the zaporizhzhia region and the kherson region , russia's task is absolutely clear to declare this territory as a part of the russian federation, then give some conditional name to the part of the kherson region, the part of the zaporizhia region or novorossiya , or whatever they want to call it, and it is clear that they want to follow the scenario that was played out in 2014, although now judging by of the reaction that exists on the ground in kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia oblast, it will not be easy for them to even falsify this pseudo -referendum, in what way can ukraine prevent the holding of this pseudo-referendum, because it is obvious that the number of support for the entry of these regions to the russian federation has been written in the kremlin for a long time, i think there are 80 or 78%, they have already

written, they will simply announce after september 11, these results, what mechanisms do ukraine have in order to hinder the armed forces of ukraine, which are still going and carried out by the russians at that time by the occupiers of the pseudo-referendum from the situation now in august 2022 , this is fundamentally different to this situation because we remember in march 2014 our state was completely weakened and the international community condemned it but did not show any activity activity and did not help us in order to

protect our territorial integrity, moreover, we can say that the international community encouraged putin with its such lethargy, and when there was preparation and then an imitation of this pseudo-referendum in crimea, remember what the ukrainian states did then, it brought out its the troops that remained to some extent loyal to the state from the peninsula, at that time the absolute majority of the crimean department of the sbu, the prosecutor's office, judges, they all went over to the side of the enemy, and at that time it looked like and this pseudo-referendum, it was also completely specified, these numbers were written in the kremlin, then they were announced, but still, thanks to that dramatic situation, it looked a little bit for some parts of the international

society, but apparently, well, apparently, so objectively, with a hint of objectivity now let's move on to kherson and zaporizhzhia, there won't be any such uh, you know, notable events that would give someone well, at least uh, well, not the right, but the opportunity to say what, you see, people here discovered such people here for the first time in the kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, there are very few , then they need to import such actors from where to demonstrate that they are supposedly voting somewhere, this is the first thing, but secondly and most importantly, the armed forces of ukraine are now open with open resistance and military actions in order to liberate kherson oblast, populated areas of zaporizhzhia oblast, and in such conditions , the russians will carry out some kind of action that will

allow them to say, here are the grants, we conducted a survey or a referendum or something. well, it's simple well, it's just not necessary to say. well, and most importantly, ask what other actions make it impossible, well, it's impossible, such actions of the russian occupiers seem to be the most important thing here, and these are the actions of the armed forces of ukraine . here i am speaking as a person. well, it is not military, so let the military themselves determine the first priority, but i know the expectations of ukrainian society, i am a part of this society, it is necessary to liberate the south of ukraine and the south of ukraine as soon as possible - this includes crimea and everything will be then normal e private today, august 11, the sejm of latvia approved a statement regarding

russia's targeted military attacks against the civilian population in ukraine, recognizing russia's violence against civilians as terrorism and russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. for the past several months, we have been demanding from the united states of america state department to recognize russia as a sponsor of terrorism although it is a terrorist state, it sponsors itself, it does it in order to terrorize ukraine and the world according to your feelings and your political experience and how long will this journey from russia, with which the leaders of western countries and the leaders of the asian region are still somehow trying to make contact, in particular that zherdogan, and until the moment when shaking hands with putin will be inconvenient and simply embarrassing in front of this world, i am sure the world will no longer turn away from the path

it has chosen regarding the mandatory mandatory punishment of the main culprits of this universal catastrophe is not just a russian-ukrainian war - it is a war of one of of the most powerful with a nuclear point of view of nuclear weapons from the presence of nuclear weapons of the state of a permanent member of the un security council against the entire human civilization, the world is aware of this due to some special features of individual politicians and that is why the world leads putin and all and all of his entourage to the international tribunal that it will already happen, no one should have any doubts about this and the decision that was taken today by the sejm of latvia, the parliament of latvia seems to be 67 votes and 100. maybe i'm a little wrong hi

the audience will check it. this is a very powerful signal. even though the country is small in terms of size and population, it is a start. i am sure that other countries will join. i am especially pleased that this path of recognizing russia as a country that encourages terrorists and finances terrorists was started by latvia itself, because my my early political life is connected with latvia, i lived there , i have relatives there, i have many friends and observers there, including those who voted today. i have already thanked some of them. i am sure that other countries now they will join such a decision. that is, they will make such a decision regarding the meeting of individual politicians of powerful prominent states by spotting, despite everything, it changes the issues that they want to solve in this situation,

because each leader has the interests of the state that he leads, but in a situation when it is already obvious to everyone that putin is an international criminal, that he is a murderer of thousands upon thousands of people, and not only in ukraine , but in syria. convinced to meet with him as the russian president is already impossible, it is already necessary to completely isolate the head of russia from any contacts with the outside world, and first of all with the leaders of other countries. by the way, about the leaders of other states, it is obvious when you talk about those leaders who are still shaking hands and have some interests, state

interests, obviously you mean, including president erdoğan, turkey is now increasing trade with the russian federation today there was information that planes will fly more often to russia and from there, obviously, tourists will be taken to turkish resorts, but in this situation, you already have quite strong ties with turkey, and erdagan has always treated you and the crimean tatars well . as to his brothers and sisters, he took certain steps to help you after 2014, how can you explain his current position, that is, when there is a terrible war, when he sees that russia is simply destroying and wiping it off the face of the earth ukraine in any way possible

find an excuse for it
