another thing is that russia recently conducted nuclear blackmail two weeks ago, no one agreed, because as a result, oh no, no, it did not react as the kremlin expected. so they added the question of lukashenka that if it seems that russia is more adequate, then we will give it to this person, but you understand that for lukashenka in the first place of power, if he gets nuclear weapons in his hands, that is, the question will be a danger for russia, therefore, russia will not have lukashenko's nuclear weapons."

and to reach a certain agreement, but so far this is blackmail, which is not confirmed by real data. thank you so, dear guests, i would like to remind you that ihor tishkevicha, an analyst at the ukrainian institute of the future, and pavlo latushko, deputy chairman of the united transitional cabinet of belarus , were in contact with the studio. pauses after which we will return to analytics, be behind the press, some creatures are surprised by the toilet in the house and we from ukraine can insure cars, be at least in the toilet hotline finance insurance, of course, online the cities of heroes of ukrainians under occupation are heroically

shovtes is already working in our studio, veteran of the ato, public figure, deputy of the lviv city council, and the key word is a fighter of the armed forces ukraine, who just arrived with the front line. glory to ukraine, igor, i'm glad to see you in the espresso studio. thank you for being alive, so to speak. we understand that the situation is very difficult. you fought in the south now. news from there, but taking into account your specific military experience, it is precisely in the southern direction in zaporizhzhia, where we are, the situation is quite stable, the war is more reminiscent of such a positional format that we remember from the time of uh, 15-16 years, again due to that that our brothers in the kherson direction began to resort to counteroffensive actions and a huge number of units of the armed forces of the russian federation had to disperse and be

transferred from the donetsk direction from donbas and to be located closer to the south, this is 17 battalions of tactical groups, about 17 of us in the zaporizhzhia direction, this is also a large concentration of them in the kherson region and in the mykolaiv region, that is, counteroffensive actions, which are resorted to by all units, absolutely all units of the armed forces of ukraine in all southern directions, they are waiting for us to help to achieve this balance and not allow the russians to advance in donbas, of course, the artillery is actively working, the aviation is also working in our country in the direction of zaporizhzhia. well, as we all see, attention is focused on the situation around ass is so undeniable and we understand that the enemy also received a specific combat task not only to get the zaporizhzhia nuclear

power plant, but also to try to advance. they pour the weapons of the buryats into their plates, and so on. works, especially the strikes on the bridges, the very possibility of cutting off the russians from their logistics centers played , again, also an important role, in the context of stopping their advance, and when, once again , communications with command centers, logistical routes, and similar things were complicated in them were scattered all over the southern direction, a huge number of personnel was a movie theater at will, that is, they do not differ, let's say,

from the old soviet methods of working on the front, and they simply they are throwing their personnel, but it looks like, well, they are, well, for example, there in donbas, they attacked a huge number of population centers with simple frontal attacks, they faced our resistance, that is, they destroyed ukrainian positions pointlessly and filled them with a large number of large amounts of ammunition completely destroyed our fortifications, as a result of which, well, again, following the ways of maneuver warfare, our guys retreated to other positions, already clearly having the opportunity to be shot at those on which there are less were standing there yesterday, the russians come in search of some trophies and in search of the remains of fortifications and immediately come under our artillery fire , therefore the limitation of ammunition, namely

artillery work, requires us to be extremely accurate and responsible in the approach to this work, therefore we can much less often than they and we in fact , we see from the official reports that they constantly report to us about the destroyed warehouse with ammunition, a logistics node or a headquarters there, which, relatively speaking , but together with them, we realize that they are probably there so much so that even these episodes and the enemy's destroyed capacities are radically so that the very next day they do not affect the situation at the front and i'm just afraid to imagine what kind of groups there are or they very quickly renew their capacities that we destroy as it looks like this process through your eyes, once again, a huge amount of the enemy's weapons were destroyed in the first months of the war, they are generally from all the stupid scenarios that we

choose them. putin chose, of course, the most stupid one, with an attack on kyiv with a simultaneous attack on in several directions of the front, they lost a huge number of artillery tanks of the rsv aviation, and the most important thing is that there are experienced personnel who could operate this technique, and when we see again, in the southern direction, soviet-type tanks are brought up there in 1962, and they they do not have the ability to work maneuverably on the front line, they simply dig huge holes and are used as static mortars, and this shows us that in this war , if from the 14th year they looked technologically plus yes, the enemies in relation to us are in proportion to us, now the situation has changed radically. and we are

dictating the technological conditions of this war. well, there is important information from our native energy atom. so , speaking of the south of our state. midday on august 29, that is, tomorrow will cover part of the south of ukraine and the southwestern regions of russia, of course we will hope that nothing like this will happen, but energoatom warns the population in potentially dangerous areas is advised to carry out iodine prophylaxis and to limit their stay in open areas without an urgent need, and in case of its appearance, to use protective equipment for respiratory organs, it is recommended to pay attention to the sealing of premises, windows, doors, turn off air conditioners, fans, close ventilation ducts, chimneys, etc., implement special modes of operation of schools and kindergartens

to organize sanitary barriers at the entrances to the premises and so on, it is recommended to take measures from the sealing of food, water, linen , documents and valuables, limit the use of forests, and do not violate the ban on hunting in local regions, we are talking about the regions of the south of ukraine adjacent to them, so we are, respectively, a cloud, if god forbid, of course, it will happen, it can go to russia, or in your opinion, or russian heads this is what they can do. this is terrible, macabre, this is the puzzle, we understand. yes, they can go for that. but then they will also burn a bunch of their own military population, and not only the military. i also think of civilians. well, in the event that such a thing suddenly happened, god forbid, and the russian federation is a professional terrorist state, and we have experience that they, as legal successors, are the heirs of the soviet union, use one of their

terrorist tools namely informational and psychological special operations. all the time, the soviet leaders were trying to use nuclear weapons, and now the russians are using various types of such weapons, in particular , because of the situation around them, they are forming an image of such inadequate savages, and what allows them er, what allows them to demand in the negotiation processes some bigger bonuses for themselves and the things they need, that is, they form an image for themselves, nevertheless, we see that sincere stupidity is also present there, well, by analogy with the chernobyl zone, the redwood forest in which they entrenched well, here, well, everything, i think that this is a matter of a rather large strategic scale, and the personnel who have access to work

around the military forces and in general can somehow potentially cause such a catastrophe, i say again god forbid, yes, i think that this is clearly controlled by the military of the military-political hierarchy of the russian federation, because this tragedy is not only an ecological disaster, it is a geopolitical collapse of the entire russian federation, especially with those partners on whom they can now count under the time of the war with ukraine to the whole civilized world ihorko wanted to ask you about the situation like this on our southern fronts because we are entering autumn and then winter and we understand what is new there on paper everything is smooth with us it may be, but there are still concrete combat realities and the corresponding requirements and conditions e. can we count on the deoccupation of the south until, let's

say , next spring ? we do not see the entrance clearly in autumn and in winter, in principle, in the cold season, it is always favorable for the owner, since we are on our land, we have much better access to various types of resources for the service of the armed forces of ukraine in in such a case, we remain in a greater advantage than them. would we like deo to buy the south before winter? or in the statements of high-ranking officials, because the issue of counteroffensive actions is, again, it is implemented quite closely, and if it is on

you, mm. will of the higher military command, because as military personnel, we will also carry out such orders as quickly as possible, well the question is how to convert the dugouts that were built there for spring to summer and convert them to fall and winter. that is, i do not know. well, this is a mass phenomenon. well, we have this experience in donbas, and in principle, this phenomenon is quite cool. there, veterans of the first russian-ukrainian war from the 14th year if you can say so, it is extrapolated to their brothers who first took up arms , brothers and sisters. and in the kharkiv direction, they are taking part in such hostilities for the first time, and it was quite

difficult in the summer. i can’t imagine what conditions they will be in in the winter, but i think it will be in our hands and we will use it for a large-scale invasion for more than six months. in general, the russians could grope well, almost all the seasons are now in our country and the peculiarities, including the weather, don't you think that they have learned the same in these six months and are able to move on the hard frozen ground on ours i don't know steamed and uh soaked when they attacked and invaded on such a large scale at the end of winter, they did not count on the fact that this war would first of all become a trench war for them. centers and finish this whole story and again, their preparation for a positional type of war already began to

take place somewhere around the end of april, somewhere from may. so when it already became clear that they could not move freely, what w- a huge, huge scale of resistance they are met and it will be necessary to dig in, it will be necessary to work in places of such experience in winter, they did not have, they moved very quickly, they approached and left, they had the opportunity to live somewhere in the occupied settlements, uh, and while such a clear front line hmmm, there was no clear distinction. now it is. and this season they will enter a new one for themselves, which will become simply a horror for each of their fighters. see roman kostenko, who is currently participating in the defense of the mykolaiv region in in general, i noticed a few weeks ago that we did not

have much time left for the announced counter-offensive, literally, 1.5-2 months ago, that further the peculiarities of the weather conditions will complicate these processes, offensive processes from our side, we see that er, autumn is already on the doorstep, nevertheless, you are more optimistic about this now than the opposite of pessimistic views, yes, i always say, i think that if we have this window with mr. roman, it will be quite later, because there are unfavorable weather conditions, they are better an advantage for the party what is being defended, but in these one and a half to two months , we still have these counteroffensive actions, namely, a full-fledged counteroffensive, and we will succeed in everything. there, we will defeat them, and if not, we will face winter as a that is being defended and here in the majority, we remain again, despite of course the impossibility there until

the time of spring until the onset of warm weather deo to buy eh again the southern and eastern territory ongoing we will receive new weapons, the main goal is the complete de-occupation of the territory, for this it will be necessary to carry out a counter-offensive operation, recently the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov noted that we can expect positive news by the new year, but it's somehow like they insult me ​​with the statement of the secretary of the national security and defense council oleksiy danilova, who noted that ukrainians should not wait for some super breakthrough news, they should prepare for a protracted , difficult war, and this is our reality, how to understand all these official statements, well, always you always need to prepare for the worst of the scenarios, and what kind of ukrainian does that

need to be done, of course, you need to consider one and the second and the third statement, but you understand that for the specific victory day, we need to work every day. that's right, and help the ukrainian army. in fact the fact that the statements of our high-ranking officials are quite weakly correlated with each other. this is a bad part of the information story. yes, but eh. let me remind you that we must first of all rely on the general of the armed forces of ukraine on the officials in which they are representatives of the military military segment of society of the military sector on them more than on political figures ihorko well, you have experience of the donbas war, it is about the first phase and now you have experience of the south or its part, in particular, it is about the situation in zaporizhzhia. and here is the issue of the local population and the number of so-called sepa of

adjusters and so on, what about that moment, a huge number of such people remain for the most part, well, at least in the outward signs, the local population is ukrainianized, as uh, hmm, people, well, people started to open their eyes to the fact that well, there are no counter-arguments against the fact that the shelling is carried out from the side of our enemies, yes. that is, they do not have such an answer, because yesterday they were waiting for them with open arms, and today their relative was killed there in their building for what, just because he is ukrainian, there is a huge number of correctors of such people, that's why, in principle, the main thing is the main thing that we have to rely on - this is the help of the local population in the context of exposing such traitors state traitors, traitors of ukraine, because the

main damage that these people can cause concerns not only the personnel of the armed forces of ukraine, but also the specific settlement there or this sector where they live and, again, correct this fire, so i call on civilians, so to speak, to recognize well, calling is one thing, but we understand that far from everyone has a trained counterintelligence eye, and a huge number of people do not hide their views on a miracle , this does not have to be some kind of agent work, it can be simple e there is a woman of retirement age who walks down the street cursing the armed forces of ukraine and later calls russian numbers like this is not always a person who plays a double game and that's why when such people meet, of course, these people need to be strictly trained for work. let 's say yes, all the others, all the others

work very well, our specialists from the special services, in principle, we have experience working with such a civilian population, so we have already learned how to expose them, cool. thank you very much, ihor silk from a veteran because there are armed forces of ukraine, a public figure and a member of the lviv city council was a guest of our history . we are going around today - this is the departure of the mother of god to heaven at 2:22 p.m. watch espresso tv channel soldiers and inventors military aerial reconnaissance became one of the e-e became the eyes actually so in the armed forces the forces of ukraine, thanks to their work on the front lines , our defenders manage to find and destroy the occupiers in the most secret nooks and crannies

of the espresso tv channel. will destroy ukrainian artillery, what does it mean for ukraine, the occupiers are afraid of ukrainian drones as god's punishment , the fighters say the russians, and out of fear they even started shooting down their own copters, sometimes out of fear, we we have a radio interception when they scream we don't understand whose drone and the commander gives the command to destroy then we will figure it out knock down the call sign and the real guru of working with drones has learned to launch ordinary household copters at a distance of up to 13 km we found some beatr he was a little

buried so really we didn't expect much to hit him, but while they were there, fire was introduced. there, literally 30 m from this armored personnel carrier, in a thick forest where no one had seen it, it turned out to be a kamaz with lubricants, and there was a flash, it was such that here, there, this target was not located there, about 10 km away , and such people simply became smoke. and this is the full-time inventor of the battalion, the callsign technician. the god of war created his own unmanned flight device, depending on the weather conditions, it can stay for about 2-3 hours in good conditions. i think kilometers per 20 can fly the cost of one complex, which includes one ground station, that is, the control panel and two planes, the cost is about 70,000, approximately the weight of the device is one and a half kilograms, it is easy to get it when assembled, and it can be repaired in the field conditions, to begin with, i had to

transfer some of my skills to the military system and everything. that everything that i basically knew and learned before the war is now very useful. and who did you study and work with before the war? well, directly. my specialty is a cinematographer, and intelligence became the eyes of the armed forces of ukraine in in the conditions of a shortage of shells and equipment, accurate and fresh data on the location of the occupiers is a vital condition for victory in the war artem lagutenko andriy verstyuk pavlo white tv channel espresso we thank our aerial scouts incredible people who with their own eyes heaven help us, we hope that the armed forces of ukraine will work according to the power of the occupier, who very, very carelessly ended up on our

ukrainian land. well, we are moving on, let's talk about the further scenarios of the development of the war in view of the colorful, as it seems to me, statements of high- ranking officials of the political and military leadership in our country viktor chumak reserve major general military prosecutor of ukraine for the years 2019-20 years in contact with us, we congratulate you mr. viktor glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good day so literally the forces of ukraine were you talking about dream and outlined in the same way er some dissonance between the statements of official representatives of different parties, varshikov says good news for the new year, and danilov says let's not set society up for some easy solutions and easy news, the war will be difficult, and that 's why we need to push back from kivitskyi he says we are preparing a counteroffensive, our guys who

are engaged in the defense of the southern regions say that we have little time left to implement this counteroffensive, in any case, we managed to confuse the enemy, but at the same time, it was a little bit yes, mr. viktor place some meaningful operational-tactical emphasis. how do you see the situation? look, i would like to. i would like god to tell you that, in principle , only one person knows the real answer to the question you ask, and it is most likely mr. zaluzhnyi. well, maybe mr. septalo yes, that is, those who plan all these actions and those who really see this whole picture, eh well, let's not only say so in the south, in the east, this picture in its entirety, but those people can tell you exactly what and how it will happen because they know how much will fit a weapon as it will be a weapon distributed, how many fresh brigades will be on the front , these brigades will move, how will these brigades

advance, or how should they defend, but i only want to tell you, you understand, we want to hear about the counteroffensive with you in a big way. that active defense is the same counteroffensive, because the ukrainian army is in active defense today. the defense grinds the aggressor's troops so much that, in principle, it is not necessary to counterattack strongly in order to force him to make the same gestures of goodwill and move away from the previously occupied positions, and for this there is no need to announce any counteroffensive look, we released the counteroffensive without announcing approximately there for 25 m or 30% of the occupied part of the south, yes, that is, the right bank, and when you ask when we

will see the counteroffensive, i will tell you when we will see its result, most likely because probably we will never see him. there is some announcement of a panther pump, like in a movie, there will be 40 batteries or 140 batteries hit at the same time, everyone will go there shouting for the motherland, run forward, no, because now it is a slightly different war and this is a war, if the strong points were captured, the strong point was captured, the population center was captured you already have a counteroffensive carried out on one of the areas of the front, and captured two or three settlements and from the moss was able to give the other part an opportunity to advance there. you already have an operational advantage there on the part of the front, it is because we see such counterattacks all the time today or those for the last week. practically nothing is happening at the front. there is an advance of the russians somewhere under the fertile under kherson. yes , their offensive is

possible. in the direction of pokrovsky, but nothing is happening because the logistics, the logistics are interrupted there and beyond, with whom are the bridges, the antonovsky bridges, the novo kakhovsky bridge, they all these bridges do not give the russians the opportunity to move anywhere, but on the contrary, and the smaller they will be, eh to have, let's say, the opportunity to move forward, then they will retreat back. that's all for you. i would say that there are weddings of summer and autumn companies
