9:01 pm
. novoselivka ukraine one by one where the population is occupying points russia is strengthening its defenses the nord stream was deliberately damaged european countries are investigating leaks in two large lawns between russia and europe and on against the background of mobilization and let's start with the situation at the front ukrainian troops are strengthening their positions near the estuary in donetsk region and continue to approach this city, liberating new settlements, this is stated in the summary of the american institute for the study of war in the area of ​​the estuary, fierce battles continue, the ukrainian military is close to cutting off the last routes the supply of the russian group that dietam and take it in the operational environment so units of the 81st separate air mobile
9:02 pm
brigade of the armed forces and the national guard where military personnel occupied the village of novoselivka in the donetsk region, erected a yellow-blue flag there, ukrainian intelligence and sabotage groups have already been spotted in the cities of torske and yampil, southeast of the estuary, the armed forces of ukraine in the kherson region and zaporizhzhia are making less progress than in the northeast, and before two positions in the southern regions of ukraine are subject to regular shelling as both russia and ukraine try to advance , a bbc correspondent visited the front line on ukrainian troops are moving to the kherson region, pushing back the russians. peaceful landscape. peaceful at first sight. the front line is only 2 km from here. saul is shooting, and at this place we have five wounded. there was a unit of the deputy commander of the regiment vasyl on the front line
9:03 pm
near kherson. and although the ukrainian forces are advancing slowly here, the situation at the front, it has changed a lot, well, a month ago it was more fun here, and of course it will be easier because the farmers are working, the bull warehouses are being covered, the crossings are being covered and it is felt that the projectile voice is also at this stage the armed forces of ukraine is slowly but successfully pushing back the russians, this is the position that the armed forces of ukraine have returned. a week ago, and now they are digging trenches and building fortifications without fighters and sufficient air support, it is difficult for the ukrainian troops to advance at the moment, the key role in the war continues to be played by heavy weapons, now mainly more work for the artillery yes to extinguish some fire points, the enemy's means constantly. some kind of bmp of the
9:04 pm
enemy is moving out there, it works on our infantry, and we accordingly suppress their fire flow, here is the soviet the gvozdyk self-propelled artillery installation its life cycle has already ended a long time ago, but the ukrainian army has no other choice but to use all the weapons they have new instructions for the artillerymen to destroy the russian mortar installation 1.96 1 96 and here the main thing is to think through all the details fire three shots and you have to run immediately finished shooting and now we need to get out of this area as soon as possible because the russian troops can determine our exact location and shoot back the soldiers
9:05 pm
managed to avoid the return fire and successfully return to the base, the work is done, but the mission is not yet finished, and we will talk more about the situation at the front with a military expert, we are not in touch oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military and legal research, i welcome you on the air and we will start with donetsk region, we just told you that in recent days, ukraine has intensified offensive operations, what is the situation there at the moment, considering that even president zelenskyy stated that now the number one target for the armed forces is donetsk, well , it must be said that the situation is developing there successful for the ukrainian forces because we saw after a successful counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast a few days ago, the ukrainian troops managed to force the river skin to move to its left bank and this gave the opportunity to actually continue to allow the subscribers to a small part of
9:06 pm
a very small part controlled by the russian forces and also to move further east to donetsk region on the northern and north-eastern, well, practically the boundaries of donetsk region, and to this day it is on the one hand , in fact, the ukrainian troops had to to wedge in and push out the enemy and approach such a possibility to such a border that gives, in principle, the opportunity to control the main road, which also provides support to liman in donetsk region , in fact it may be under fire control, which disrupts the logistical support of russian troops in the estuary. well, in accordance with similar from the west from the southwest, the ukrainian troops also managed to advance from pressing the enemy and were practically already in the area of ​​the estuary, respectively, what does this mean, what does this mean that there is a rather
9:07 pm
bad situation for the russian troops, because a semi-ring is being formed around the estuary so far, which can turn into such a ring, and in fact, the grouped russian army . they will fail, well, in the long run, this means that the ukrainian troops will be able to advance the line, and further , accordingly, where russia is already on the defensive, this is the wedding e-e in the north of luhansk region, further to crimea and severodonetsk are there, ukrainian forces continue their work there, and quite good prospects are opening up. the belarusian authorities are constantly extending the period of military exercises near the ukrainian border, and today they suddenly started inspecting a military unit near minsk. how high is the risk of an
9:08 pm
invasion from belarus? i think that while there there are not a large number of russian units, i still do not think that the risk of invasion by belarusian troops is high. the fact is that maneuvers and checking the combat readiness of the belarusian army is such a permanent process that has been going on for months , somewhere from april to may of the current year, and from time to time training takes place near the ukrainian border from the side of belarus, they just change them every now and then, the troops change, but they are stable somewhere around five thousand belarusian soldiers on the border with ukraine, they perform the function of actually restraining our forces, and this means that a certain number of ukrainian troops must also be present in order to defend the the borders of our country, in particular from the north, but today no strike groups of belarusian troops are visible. first, second - ukraine has been creating for these
9:09 pm
months and has made considerable efforts to strengthen the border, conduct training there, the training of the national guardsmen in that direction has recently ended, to create quite powerful defensive fortifications the positions of the construction to mine the main highways, which in principle is quite safe for attacks from the northern direction. well, the belarusian army is still not motivated to participate in the war against ukraine on its own, but if russia decides to dramatically replenish the resources of its army from the belarusian direction, this may create additional risks and threats, but so far this is not visible. thank you for the conversation and detailed analysis, it was oleksandr musienko, head of the center for military and legal research, and in general, russia's current war in ukraine is unprecedented in many dimensions, and one of its unique characteristics is the wide use of drones in
9:10 pm
the armed forces of the armed forces, not only strike and reconnaissance and ordinary consumer drones in ukraine, there is even an army of drones, a donor program for the purchase of drones, which, according to its leaders, allows you to constantly monitor the front line almost two and a half thousand kilometers long and respond to attacks using modern technologies. bender himself specializes in the study of the use of drones in war of the american center for military analytics, which advises the american command, my colleague nataliya skofanko spoke with him about how drones have changed the tactics of the current russian war in ukraine in 2014 and 2015, but on a small scale, after the russian invasion in february 2022, both sides mobilized significant resources to provide their forces with drones. therefore , now in the sky of ukraine, there is a very large number of drones engaged in reconnaissance
9:11 pm
, surveillance, greek-nesting, information gathering, combat missions are led by targets for artillery rocket systems and mortars, this entire unmanned arsenal provides all combat forces with a very significant additional opportunity to observe the enemy to determine where he present and direct various types of weapons and systems for these purposes. what kind of drones are in service in ukraine and russia? who supplies them and what technologies will benefit ukraine ? troops, ukraine also has a number of domestic drones while preserving polish-made ammunition. ukraine also has western drones. the united states supplies kamikaze drones. all of them provide significant support to ukrainian forces. russia entered this war with relatively large fleet of unmanned aerial vehicles but unlike ukraine, russia actually had very few combat drones russia has
9:12 pm
many military drones for reconnaissance the russian and ukrainian armies have also experienced a significant reduction in their fleet of drones as both sides now have more advanced air defense capabilities and electronic warfare capabilities to identify and shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles now russia will get iranian drones and this is a significant potential if used on a massive scale russia gets combat drones medium and long-range radio judges in the conditions of high cost and lack of military models now civilian drones have become very popular, what are the advantages and disadvantages of commercial drones, commercial quadcopters are not more common in this war, drones of the chinese commercial series, they are relatively cheap, not very complicated, they are relatively easy to control and you can learn this in a few hours in action at a distance of several kilometers, which means that they can provide important
9:13 pm
tactical operations at a close distance situationally and information intelligence, for example, we need to see what is behind the forest, what is in the neighboring village, what is around the corner, these are tactical drones, but they are intended for civilian and not military purposes, so they are very vulnerable to electronic warfare, interference , communication breakdown, so they have to be constantly replenished, it is interesting what for ukrainian defenders are supplied with many such drones by volunteers who transfer money to them and even buy and send them to the front themselves. how will the role of drones change in this war? the war is ongoing and will probably continue for many more months. it is obvious that at least until winter, the role of unmanned aerial vehicles will only grow, both for the identification of advancing forces and enemy positions, as well as for striking them, and therefore more and more drones will be used to perform combat missions in operations , military drones will be used more and more, but so are commercial
9:14 pm
drones on a massive scale. i understand, but the authorities do not rule out sabotage, the operator of the nord stream alone said that in one day the pipelines were flooded, and at the same time they received unprecedented damage . as a result of deliberate actions, the vice-president of the european commission, baldi z dombrovske, said that any deliberate damage to the energy infrastructure will be dealt with decisively by clercy jaus it is clear that these cases are not accidental all the information currently available indicates that this was a deliberate act intentional damage was caused the commission will support any investigation to find out who did it and also steps to
9:15 pm
strengthen energy security any intentional damage to the energy infrastructure the eu is absolutely unacceptable and will get a sinful response. the eu has previously accused russia of using gas supply cuts to blackmail europe, but moscow denies this, but whatever the reason damage - this will not immediately affect the supply of gas to europe, since none of the gas pipelines was working, nevertheless, the situation is unprecedented . germany, denmark and sweden stated that the reason for the leakage of two strands of the nord stream gas pipeline was explosions arranged by someone. but
9:16 pm
we see from our data that it was the explosions that led to such a large-scale gas leak, i cannot say now who is responsible, we have not yet blamed, we are now looking at the facts, we do not know what was the motivation for this, but we are carefully studying it we are closely cooperating with by the countries of the baltic sea, as well as other eu and nato countries, this is an invasion of international waters on our european energy infrastructure. and we take this very seriously. therefore, we are now establishing the facts and will come up with a joint response in europe. in addition, i spoke yesterday with the us secretary of state anthony blinken regarding these pipelines pass in international waters, however , the exclusion of the economic zone of sweden and denmark near our sea borders, so we take it very seriously what we see is for europe this is unprecedented, so we closely cooperate with
9:17 pm
partners not only in europe, but also in the usa, and before europe lost the main gas pipeline from russia as a result of a mysterious mega accident with explosions at the bottom of the baltic sea, the transit through ukraine was at risk. it accounts for approximately half of the current supplies of russian gas to europe and without it, only the turkish route and the pokida route will remain, and at 16 they flew over and photographed a giant gas bubble on the surface of the sea. gazprom announced that it has claims against the ukrainian the transit operator naftogaz of ukraine and this may cause sanctions that will not allow why to pay for transit, i.e. in this way, gazprom will stop paying for transit through ukraine, not on its own, but will leave the choice for ukrainians to pump for free or block the pipe, and again, contact oksana ishchuk, an expert on the issue of energy and executive director of the center for global studies strategy 21 ms. oksano thank you for
9:18 pm
joining our broadcast, we understand how sabotage could technically be organized or am i right i understand the detonation of the gas pipelines and who could be behind it in your opinion. it is an indisputable fact that the explosions on the gas pipelines were sabotage. it is clear that not every country has the potential to carry out such sabotage. and of course russia is one of the countries interested in strengthening of gas shortage in europe in this way in the way of undermining its own gas pipelines, russia could eh ensure further gas shortage in europe eh it should be noted that russia has all the available means for this a-a in terms of specialized vessels in terms of robotics and in terms of specialized units, in particular, in russia, there is the main directorate of deep-sea research, military unit 45-707, which specializes in the planning and implementation of
9:19 pm
such sabotage. and it is an interesting fact that sabotage and preparation for it is a sabotage that is currently underway, and preparation for it was to be carried out many, many months in advance, and in particular in the period from april 10, 2021 to august 31, 2021 , that is, at the final stage of the completion of the northern stream e-e it is these units of the navy of the russian federation that activity was noticed in the area of ​​the northern stream-2, that is, even then preparations could have been made for further sabotage on this pipeline system, and in particular, special units of the baltic fleet and the division of the main directorate of deep sea research at that time were noticed in the area
9:20 pm
of ​​the northern stream there was a specialized and marine vessel bakhtymir like this. and what is also important is that it cannot be that this sabotage was committed by another country. why? because it is in the area of ​​the northern stream in the corridor of this hydro acoustic stations are placed on this pipeline system, that is, russia has a special monitoring and warning system, and if this sabotage was prepared by other countries, then russia would have been able to warn of this sabotage , that is, they would have been able to see it and, er, make it impossible to carry out such a sabotage, in fact , everything points to eh yes, yes, yes, er, i understand, you are leaving out that it could be moscow, well, look , the german special services say that the nord stream will be
9:21 pm
disabled forever. but in that case moscow is losing money in fact forever shooting itself in the foot do you think the main thing for moscow right now is to end this war on its own terms so uh for them the main thing right now is right they are uh shooting themselves in the foot but they are uh so undermining the solidarity of europe is worsening the economic situation, they are deepening the recession behind it, they are deepening the energy crisis. therefore, the situation is now playing into their hands, despite temporary economic losses. thank you, oksana ishchuk, expert on energy issues and executive director of the center for global studies strategy 21 thank you, if russia uses tactical nuclear weapons in ukraine, it will have catastrophic consequences, first of all, for russia itself, this opinion was expressed by the us ambassador to the osce, michael
9:22 pm
carpenter, in an interview with the bbc, according to him, russia has already violated all the rules of the osce by waging war for 7 months in ukraine, but it is still a member of the organization for security and cooperation in europe, because the mechanism for excluding countries from the osce, both russia and belarus, does not exist. my colleague diana kuryshko spoke with mr. carpenter. in your opinion, can russia apply nuclear weapons against ukraine, how realistic is the threat of russia to use nuclear weapons, a manifestation of huge irresponsibility, at the beginning of this year, we saw the declaration of five permanent members of the un security council, including russia, in which it was noted that a nuclear war cannot be resolved and it cannot be won russia subscribed to this statement and now to use such threats sometimes quite unambiguously when using nuclear weapons is a violation of the taboo and i would say the highest
9:23 pm
manifestation of irresponsibility can be done by the osce or can it do something to prevent this organization, as you probably know, which has missions on the ground in various regions and we hope to restore the mission in ukraine, but we are not a military organization we can deter the use of nuclear weapons only by warning that the consequences of this can be catastrophic they will be so for russia, for the whole world, from the perspective of the united states, because it is not a monkey that represents the usa, we will continue to provide ukraine with the weapons and military equipment it needs to win, to liberate its territories, period and other countries warn about the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear war. but will russia listen to them? in your opinion, there is a lot of resentment among the entire
9:24 pm
international community, which includes countries with which russia currently maintains relations. india - china, brazil - this is a global agreement that the use of nuclear weapons violates one of the most important and was the international system, i cannot predict what the path will do because it is not part of my duties and i am not able to do it, but i can repeat if he goes this way will be a disaster for russia, we have already seen that he seriously miscalculated by starting this unprovoked war against ukraine. period, we also saw the number of dead and wounded in this line, a very large number, obviously more than in many years of
9:25 pm
war in afghanistan, it has already been miscalculated and will be miscalculated even more if you take this path the use of nuclear weapons and russians continue to flee en masse from mobilization, for example, the number of people entering finland has more than tripled in recent days due to strict restrictions on canopies, the queues there are much smaller than at the border with georgia, and in the coming days , finland will follow the baltic countries and poland plans to close entry for russians with regular schengen visas and will continue to allow only those who go to visit relatives to study or work, after that russians with tourist schengen visas will be able to to go by land to only one schengen country, norway , on the two hundred kilometer russian-norwegian border across the polar region, only one checkpoint operates
9:26 pm
in itself . shelter those who refuse to take up arms, otherwise warsaw can hear that if the russians do not like the actions of the authorities, they should not run away, but return home, take responsibility and influence the policy of their management and joins the broadcast of journalist oleg biletskyi, who is currently working in our studio in warsaw, but already congratulations and the first question is whether poland is ready to accept russian evaders olya congratulations, the answer to your question is an unequivocal no the ministry of internal affairs in poland and in particular the relevant minister of matches ivanchyk at the end last week, i spoke on the initiative of this special order, which limits or even prohibits the entry of citizens of the russian federation into the territory of poland, specifying what it is about entry, for example, with a touristic, sports, sculptural or even business purpose is limited
9:27 pm
. well, the ministry clarifies that there is no possibility of entry either by car, or by plane , or through sea ports, however, there may be exceptions , the same is said in the relevant ministry above all, we are talking about citizens of the russian federation, about people who can be persecuted by the russian regime, simply put, dissidents, but this is the option that the relevant minister is talking about, the year i mentioned matches, this is not means that all russians who consider themselves political refugees and dissidents will receive such a status, it is only about the fact that such an option, such an opportunity to apply for such a visa , such an opportunity to enter the territory of poland is provided for, it is an exception in this special order. to the russians themselves, it is obvious that the majority of them, or at least the majority of those who would like to leave the borders of the
9:28 pm
russian federation, know about such a decision of poland , how to apply to the border service of poland during the last week, only 142 attempts of 142 attempts by citizens of the russian federation to enter the territory of poland were recorded, and in each of these cases, each of these persons was refused. that is why the position of warsaw and the position of poland is unambiguous not to let the russians, as they say, deserters who are trying to enter history of the european union well, in fact, the proposals, so what are the main differences between the position of warsaw and other capital cities regarding the acceptance of russians, if possible briefly well, i think here it is worth talking about the most contrasting differences here, you can compare the position taken by, for example, warsaw, and what the representatives of the ministry of the interior of germany came up with, i.e. berlin, these positions are radically different, except that in berlin
9:29 pm
they believe that all people who are trying to escape from the war are mainly men - this is every such person - this is minus one potential russian soldier who may end up at the front in ukraine, although the key difference, to put it in one word in one sentence, is what germany actually considers every russian who leaves as a fugitive from the regime and an opponent of the war, on the other hand, in the polish government they say that these people, as you already mentioned, they have to fight for their rights and defend their position directly on the territory of the russian federation, that is why the position of warsaw and berlin, for example, are very contrasting. thank you, oleg bilecki , journalist live from warsaw. thank you, colleague, and that's all for today. look for more stories on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks, and you can turn on our program tomorrow at exactly 9:00 in the evening good luck and take care of yourself in the
9:30 pm
