the century of peace and tranquility that came after e tam in 1989, they very much switched to the protection of rights in successful countries where rights are already sufficiently protected, that is, to the property of the minority group switched to theirs, and the same probably applies to the red cross, which is purely was founded just to take care of the prisoners at first, yes, or is it now, do we not hear, do we unfairly want these organizations to remember their origins, their heritage, and today understand a little who is who in this war and gave their strong conclusions, because this is an organization that is listened to by millions of people in the world. but i said that here, of course, i am such a pure human problem that we are victims of this war and we want more attention to ourselves, and this is right and understandable, but the law of war that is, international

humanitarian law, it is impartial, accordingly , it does not distinguish between who is the aggressor and who is the victim, it is only interested in the protection of civilians , the protection of persons who were a failure, for example, a soldier, and in this there is a certain misunderstanding why is the rhetoric of the same battery of the red cross so neutral, because they try to maintain impartiality, but when we go a level deeper into what their activities actually consist of, this is where the problem begins that there is an international committee of the red cross and there are national departments of this organization and the russian red cross the cross is such a very debatable appendage to the russian state and, unfortunately, they have been seen more than once in a certain bias and protection of russia, and this all applies when it comes to access to

territory to the camps for receiving prisoners of war, there are facts that do not play in favor of the national office, but this does not concern the international committee, unfortunately, this is a problem with the structure of this organization, but where the international committee could get an accessible territory , for example, the so-called dnr, to get, for example, to olenivska a-a to the deer park and to the territory of the colony, it is possible that there is a huge risk that they started to use the information provided by the russian red cross unilaterally. and this could actually play an even worse role than but what is the situation now when they base their conclusions exclusively on hmm problems that exist in international humanitarian law, so i would not expect them to go physically right now and start helping in some way because, firstly, their installation is very limited, and secondly, russia is on it does not give consent, and

thirdly, even if russia gives consent to this, i am afraid that we will get what we had, for example, during the visit of an international delegation in the 43rd year in katyn on the territory of poland during the second world war, when they simply made the so-called potemkin trees that is, they showed good facts that show that it was not the russians who killed the soviets but the polish officers who were prisoners of war and so on. well, roughly speaking, they can create a very distorted picture and we will receive, on the contrary, not support, but a certain informational propaganda against ukraine, something similar to what we received in history instead of international , so i will repeat that this is a problem of international institutions. they have a very limited mandate and, unfortunately, they cannot somehow intervene in a situation where the norms of

international law are massively violated. they can intervene later when there will be tribunals, there will be courts, they will look for the guilty , but during the hot phase of an armed conflict, they always behave like this, and it is simply necessary to understand and take into account, finally, we wanted to ask you about the election of two members of the supreme council of justice , among whom roman we are still arguing here about the correct pronunciation of his surname, but i think that it is not so important, it is important that it is he who was elected yesterday on facebook among activists, among public figures, among journalists, there was almost such a flash mob in support mr. roman should be reminded that this was a lawyer, i mean, you appointed a corruption prosecutor and updated the composition of the vrp. therefore, it is a very positive trend that people who specialize in some direction of reform, meaning there is a story with oil paint

and judicial reform, that they eventually end up in the bodies of self-government and the judiciary administration should be as it should be, it should be professionals and not random people from politics, as it can also be observed, unfortunately, in the government and in the law and order system, that is why professionals should be in their places and not the politician's form was included to us, what are we moving on and further on to our topic - this is actually because nikopol is being shelled, it is under fire and is being shelled constantly from the territory of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant 42 countries called on russia to withdraw their the military is from where, well, but as we see russia any appeals from anyone

, it ignores them and so far it is doing its shameful actions, 60,000 inhabitants, that is, we have been shelling for a month and the situation is unfortunately it worsens because everything flies by every day new micro-districts district enterprise and over time simply nikopol becomes just like a real such a military situation because there are a lot of destroyed high-rise buildings we can already count hundreds of them and private houses and enterprises and communal enterprises unfortunately today the city authorities considering what is today damaged the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was forced to appeal to the residents of our school, and the un and ngos and world politicians and the world also need to convey that the world needs a clean ecology and the situation in zaporizhzhia prostantsiv it

can be critical for world e-civilization for europe because, you know, the wind is already blowing in different directions, and therefore the situation will go to where if there is an emergency similar to chernobyl in zaporizhzhia and the power plant, the world needs to wake up and start real negotiations and the un and my megate, we all expect that sooner or later the fire and mission of the mgt will be at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, and it would be demilitarized, a peacekeeping contingent would be deployed there, it could become interesting, by the way the introduction to a new new page of this war, well, most likely about who can level this situation and make it so that the threat to the global ecology of the world is basically overcome . of news, these shellings

and at the same time shellings of civilian objects of some kind, the people themselves are leaving the city, leaving it, is there any possible centralized evacuation, or is there no talk of evacuation yet? well, i think we can say that nikopol has left to date, 50% of the inhabitants, a little less, have left the city of margantsi, which also has 45,000 inhabitants, they also regularly began shelling this city, plus shelling, we are attacking khrovnogrigoriy scatermirivska community, this is also the nikopol district , this is all that is located on the kakhovsky, closer to the bank of the kakhovsky, there will be warehouses you understand , in our region there are people who are used to living, you know, being born and living all your life in our area, the cities of marganets, nikopol

, the countryside, so for them it is just a cultural thing to say such a shock that it is necessary to leave, that is why, in principle, many people have not yet made the decision to leave, they move with their suitcases from neighboring villages to neighboring cities, return to work, go to spend the night again from neighboring villages or cities. that is, this is not such a movement . but i i think that a lot of people remain. and those who left. they did not go abroad, they are still wandering somewhere, you know. you can say that they are in neighboring cities, er, villages, waiting for a solution to this stabilization situation. thank you, mr. dimitri, er, for the conversation. it is difficult when you are a student and you enroll somewhere, you go or when you make a decision to go somewhere to earn money, it is one thing because it is your decision, it is another thing when you are kicked out of your home and are actually forced at gunpoint to make this decision to leave your home that you invested in

dmytro bychko, the acting chairman of the nikopol district council, was in touch with us and told us what the situation is, they are moving forward with us. defense express expert ivan kyrychevskyi is not in touch with us. good day to you good day, the latest news. putin is here, despite russia's insane losses, they are falling, he still has weapons, wow, how many speeches at the opening of the 2022 army uniform in the suburbs of moscow, he says that the weapons are the best and ready , and russia is ready to distribute them left and right to all numerous allies and to the partners, well, you know, what can you ask, of course, so rhetorically, and what else can you tell him that america showed its weapons , not functionality, and that the most customers in the world were relieved to refuse

arms contracts if it seemed like india there is hindi, the russians are pushing, let it be there, yes, there is a joint project for the production of a brahmus-type cruise missile, but even if india began to refuse russian helicopters, there are some countries even far away in latin america, for example , argentina canceled the contract. the philippines in asia canceled the contract for 18 helicopters for tanks. obviously, there are not even those who want to, in principle, then there is someone else to tell, theoretically, you know, well, iran could theoretically be a more or less large buyer, and even then according to the barter mechanism what is it really there, in the material part of the iranian air force, they met, to put it mildly, that is, there are old planes that will have to be replaced a long time ago. well, as the american press writes, the russians are bargaining with the iranians to get drones. well, there may be only such a scheme , you know how are the agreements? for the russians, iran has planes, and the iran

of the russian federation has drones. well, of the countries that were present at this forum, you know very small countries, whose armies have a maximum of 20 tanks each, and ten planes each. and even if, in principle, we assume that in this way putin is trying to find markets for his defense products, then there is nothing to look for. therefore, the king is naked there, and what else can he tell other than that their counterparts took out their weapons and showed this class industrial mobilization for industrial, if you understand you would say, on the one hand, the phrase industrial mobilization sounds so powerful, yes. what is there, finally, the kremlin has done what it threatens to transfer the economy to the military rails, there the leadership of the corporation is growing consider that the 24-hour working regime, but we said that the kremlin makes such a decision in very unfavorable circumstances, well , in this message, with which we know what

is happening in them now, industrial mobilization indicates an important point that, in the fall, the kremlin plans to increase the state defense order for the armed forces of the russian federation for approximately 600-700 billion rubles by itself sounds like such an amount, yes, it is necessary, yes, especially since it is approximately consider an increase of a third of the amount of their state defense order for 2022, that is, at first glance, it looks like this is that the cream is here in the fall and is preparing to show everyone what it was going to show, because we are actually starting to fight, but if you look at the open sources of the decision about the kremlin is talking about throwing the same 600,700 billion rubles into the defense industry somewhere in june, the first such moment is already coming out that first of all to announce the decision and actually implement it, but the kremlin for some reason needs three months and that's on

against the background of the fact that the first such, you know, macroeconomic bells and whistles about the fact that only in july the deficit of the russian budget amounted to 900 billion euros of rubles, which there was nothing to cover, and this is precisely because of the fact that defense expenditures, or rather, military offensives, are aggressive, all these expenditures e- e russian fairy tales, each at least a third ago , it turns out that on the one hand, russia can proclaim anything, but on the other hand, we, on the other hand, try to spin the flywheel of military production. the flywheel of printing money, but in fact it will not give them much, because there is one such important thing that the kremlin may not really understand, and in our country it is not very common to understand that for the production of military equipment, money is needed for any, let's say, any there is a combat vehicle that completes military equipment, it costs a certain amount of money there, and if you start printing money there, it’s just money without control, not providing orderly conditions for the operation of the defense-industrial complex,

this does not mean that the pc will make the printed money there are more components or equipment. this simply means that some wonderwaffle in russian will simply cost more to the russian budget without a firm of high-quality reinforcement of the armed forces of the russian federation with equipment. yes, mr. ivan, at that exhibition, putin said something like that again, that allegedly russian weapons are decades ahead of foreign ones analogues and we know that there are some spare parts, uh, definitely not uh, of russian production, and important spare parts for russian weapons were not made in russia, even if this defense complex the russian defensive flywheel will be fully activated, i don’t know if they will print that money there, will they start producing, will this weapon really be ahead of foreign analogues, you know if there is already there

, continue thinking about ahead of foreign analogues, first when there were reports of downed cruise missiles x-101 and x-55 well, those who flew from e-e type bombers up to 95 , yes, their hormone was studied and found there in general . electronics of the 1970s were made in minsk. that is, you know how there are sometimes their wonderful weapons there it was decades behind the civilized analogues there, i.e. such nuances can be directly related to the fact that there are some difficulties with the promotion of the flywheel, their defense of the industrial complex. production of the complex bmp3 and instead produce a cheaper , more mass and, let's say, more reliable bmp-2 theoretically well, russia can seem like that every time such a degraded and nationalized country, to start producing equipment a generation older than them

by two times, but not to restore the production capacity of these same bmp-2 factory to the manufacturer kurgan mashzavod, appropriate investments are needed, which are accounted for accordingly in rubles, and we need, let's say, to and roughly speaking, these capacities for bmp-2 production, yes, they will be occupied in russian rubles, and in some , i don’t know, in yuan, american dollars, and the like, and let’s say, relying, for example, on i claim that hmm the flywheel of inflation that is currently unfolding in the russian federation that it will eat up, in principle, all the possibilities of russia to increase the production of certain types of equipment , as regards, let's say, the resuscitation of other types of military equipment there, there may also be some nuances of their own . for example, there is an old soviet gun 2.7 pion caliber 203 mm, which in russia there is such a part of which everyone modernized to the index two and

seven beams, one of the important elements of the modernization of the soviet pion into the russian mavka there was a replacement of the ukrainian -made transmission with a russian analog e-e type in the stock of the russians there were 300 such pion e-e guns in 2021 the russians were able to restore and modernize 60 guns to the monkey version according to data from open sources approximately 60 more guns of this type during the war the russians were able to believe well, but the other 170 are in warehouses because there is nothing to repair them compared to the size of these guns, because they have a caliber of 203 mm, they can hit at a range of up to 40 km and destroy very large targets. well, there is a leak if indeed, such guns could come to the front and , with such a large caliber, the russians would begin to destroy the positions of our troops. this would be very problematic for us. yes, fortunately. well, it is obvious that when the russians were preparing for war, if they had not

foreseen in advance whether they would need to disarm those all there are thousands and hundreds of units of various equipment from warehouses to be repaired accordingly, to adjust the economy, no one was involved in all this, so they have and you know, if you start like this, look at the overall picture. well, they are there declaring some ambitions for russian defense the industrial complex seems to be at its zenith, if you look at the individual types of weapons that can be the most formidable for us there, it turns out that the situation for the russians is, to put it mildly, unfavorable . donbas ukrainian fighters who are there , they are difficult, they are morally difficult. it seems that today they have turned into russian aviation and russian and long-range artillery. it hurts. listen and they keep saying give us artillery support ah butusov yury butusov also writes

hints that there are actually problems with shells and ammunition for artillery, so what can be done here to stop the russians from that rink is it still now the situation is not very possible. well , you can rather do it here. let's put it this way. the answer is in two parts. it is obvious that in some ways our opportunities are to stop the russian ice rink precisely in the east. they are still limited in some ways, because it seems that the russians have decided to accumulate all possible resources, even if those resources of theirs are forcibly mobilized and the wagnerites, well, they are now trying to dump these resources on us and the entire remainder, let's say so, of the ammunition they have, shoot at the positions in the donetsk direction, the positions of the armed forces, as short as possible as far as our capabilities are concerned, let's say so

of course, the topic is close and delicate, but if you rely on open sources, then there is hardly an opportunity . the nuance is simply different, that is, all the western artillery systems that we will receive were not designed for such a high intensity of fire, well, the one she had, she says, is a german panzer howitzer, it is a 2,000 barrel resource, approximately 3,000 shots and more. it needs to be repaired, well, in fact, it can be more. it is quite possible that when the germans designed this gun, they basically thought that there would be 3,000 of them there. well, firing, uh, it can be fired for the entire military, there are enough specific companies, but here for them there was a kind of cognitive dissonance that they have already published in the press still turns out to be for these self-propelled guns that have been handed over to the population of ukraine to repair the tables, you know, sometimes this happens with western experts, i even

had to read the summons there, i don't remember who it was from there will also be such a brilliant conclusion, you could have thought that the armed forces of ukraine need more old 155 mm, it was true, it was a month ago. well, you just know that they have an inertia of thinking about what we need to give first and quickly. it is present and it turns out that the germans offered us, well , let's say, the american partners when they offered us all these wonderful artillery systems, but they somehow, let's just say, obviously didn't pay enough attention to service repairs, because they probably couldn't even guess that we would have to actively fire such guns for approx . this is how the situation looks now valery zaluzhnyi said that the ukrainians defeated a fifth part of the russian army to what extent is it really true and can we be happy about that or

after all, it is necessary to look at it quite soberly and with restraint. well, on the one hand, it should all be looked at soberly and with restraint, on the other hand, it is still worth quoting the original more precisely. you know, it is more than true, because you know, to begin with, let's recall this fact about our great happiness, the elite first tank army appears in the summaries of potholes, which was not aimed at taking kyiv there in three days and threatening nato countries it turns out that the armed forces of ukraine can at least record the defeat of such a unit that nato was afraid of as an asset. again, as for the defeat of other units, let's say, the russians really conducted such a trick when, let's say, during the first months of fighting there one or another brigade received catastrophic losses in live targets in equipment, they took it there and, let's say,

saturated their eyes with all the marginals that are recruited from different regions of russia, and from a normal point of view, they preserved the brigade, but the fighting capacity not so well, as a vivid example, the 200 motorized rifle brigade, which was once stationed near finland, then tried to take kharkiv, did not take anything, was defeated, and now let's say that the battalions and the composition of this brigade formally exist on paper and continue to try to achieve some combat success there in the east of ukraine, but since let's say that the quality of their success has fallen, the result of combat. there is no such connection there and in other parts you can walk and analyze what is there, as they say, are they no longer the same as they were before the start of the war? i am there at all some preliminary estimates are that because of the grouping of troops that broke out against us on february 24, there are approximately 20,000 russian troops left. of course, this is a preliminary figure that requires clarification, but it all serves as a confirmation of the words that the armed forces of ukraine during

the war defeated exactly 20 % of such connections to the army thank you mr. ivan for the answers ivan kyrychevskyi, an expert from defense express, was with us, the 17th is approaching , which means that it is time for a fresh news release, news with anna and eva melnyk. thank you, colleagues, for your work the news editorial office is still working on what is important at this hour .
