uh, thirdly, if we are talking about iranian drones, uh, they are somewhat new for us, but not something new for, for example, the israelis, that is why negotiations are now underway to provide us with uh, the means of destroying exactly this type of drones. can we with them to fight so definitely are they effective enough? well, i wouldn't say it 's their effectiveness, well, it's not discussed because we see that at least one or two arrive or talk about the fact that they carry with them a threat to the troops. no, it's impossible, they carry a terrorist threat against of the civilian population, so once again we urge everyone to stay in shelters or move to shelters during the air alert regarding their hyper-effectiveness. they cannot in any way break the strategic situation on the front because, well, these are drones that are copies of drones that were created by the united states of israel 20 years ago and a copy. they are always worse than the original, that is why it is impossible to talk about a strategic

change in the situation. iryna kovalik will present the news on the espresso tv channel. thank you, colleague . in just a moment, i will tell you about the situation in ukraine at 10 o'clock in ukraine. news time on the espresso tv channel. iryna kovalik studios and the most important events. 5 of 7 of the air force, the russians sent uavs to the mykolaiv region, but most of them managed to land . our defenders have already learned to shoot down iranian

drones with the help of air defense systems of electronic warfare and even conventional small arms drones have weaknesses, however, the russian federation uses them to launch missile strikes. instead of missiles, the russians attacked mykolaiv with missiles from s-300 systems, the head of the regional military civil administration, vitaly kim, reported that enemy shells exploded near two four-story buildings, and one of them caught fire, according to preliminary data. seven people were injured, also at night the invaders ransacked the shevchenko community, there two people were killed and four residential buildings were partially destroyed enemy s300 missiles flew in the morning over zaporizhzhia and its suburbs, this is the preliminary information from the head of the regional military administration oleksandr

starukha, people were not injured, but the industrial infrastructure was destroyed as a result of the attack, the adjacent apartment buildings were also damaged, and the border settlements of kharkiv oblast remain under the aimed fire of the russians. of yan district and kupyansk itself, as well as the city of vovchansk and the village of gatishche of chuguyiv district, the head of the regional oleg synogubov of the military administration, as a result of shelling in the kupyan district, an elderly woman was hospitalized with a wound. at the same time, the regional military administration noted that the investigation into the shooting of a civilian convoy in the kharkiv region on september 25, according to the latest data, killed 24 people, including 13 children and a pregnant woman, also in the region. demining in just one day of pyrotechnics, rescuers neutralized more than 700 explosive objects meanwhile,

in the temporarily occupied crimea, russian troops brought to full combat readiness reported in the ukrainian general staff in the russian federation continue to carry out mobilization announced by the dictator putin currently known about the formation of a motorized rifle division on the territory of the peninsula at the expense of the demobilized male population of the autonomous republic of crimea of ​​the krasnodar territory and the republic of adygea the arrival to the point of permanent deployment of the 810th separate marine brigades based in the city of sevastopol, about two thousand from mobilized people in the city of budonnovsk of the stavropol territory by 2005, a separate motorized rifle brigade of the 49th combined arms army of the southern military district was mobilized,

about five thousand people arrived with the specified personnel, combat training classes have already begun , 600,110 russians have become good, the armed forces of ukraine took care of this, so within a day , the black-pack troops 500 more occupiers joined, and 23 tanks, 26 armored fighting vehicles, 10 vehicles, eight artillery systems and one rocket salvo system of the attackers became scrap metal. the enemy helicopter landed permanently, the enemy suffered the greatest losses in the kramatorsk and bakhmut directions, the general headquarters reminds that the data are approximate national resistance in ukraine today, the fighters of the territorial defense are honored according to the presidential decree of 20-2020,

this holiday is celebrated annually on the first sunday of october, and although this youngest generation of ukrainian troops and their contribution to the defense of the country is difficult to overestimate, noted the general staff in the first days of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation hundreds of thousands of ukrainians, both men and women, joined the armed forces, among them people of various professions, it was the tyro fighters who in february helped our armed forces hold back the onslaught of the russian invaders and push back the enemy from kyiv oblast, chernihiv oblast, and sumy oblast, and now they are also decently holding the defense ready for resistance, which is the slogan of the territorial forces the defense of the armed forces of ukraine is implemented in practice, and 17% of ukrainians who left their homes because of the war have already returned from abroad, this is evidenced by the results of the ninth wave of

the survey of his special sociological company gradus resort according to the research, at the first opportunity, 62% of ukrainians want to return to the motherland, what motivates people to leave europe , even despite the reality of war , garanchenko will tell about love, fear, despair and pain. almost every ukrainian experienced such emotions on february 24, when the white church and many other cities thousands of people were covered with shells, they ran away to escape, mostly abroad, they stood in lines for three days at checkpoints, one of them was 28-year-old anastasia march 3, her beloved husband and family the girls convinced her to leave in order to avoid it. she remembers then she didn't know what was waiting for her at the customs, the road turned out to be so difficult because i got to poland on the 7th of november. and the

road was difficult because we were very much behind and we calculated that the road would take there. well, maybe 12 hours there, so there was a lot of food, we had very, very little supplies with us, these were some canned goods, sandwiches, some rolls . small children in the car, after only four days the girl was able to get to poland and immediately started looking for a job. anastasia speaks english , so she could consider most vacancies, the main criterion in the search is the language, ideally, of course, the polish accent. however, she preferred a world-famous internet company. my specialty was content viewers, what was included in the content viewer, this is a policeman on the internet, ukrainians, they are in the team

i didn’t have any at all. i had an english-speaking team, so they asked me how the situation was in ukraine, how things were going at that time, my dad was such a hot point, and they me. my dad is in the armed forces, and they asked what was going on there . hospitably receives ukrainians from other countries, the situation is often the opposite, she faced disrespect, 19-year-old angelina went abroad when kyiv region was liberated from the russian invaders, the girl tried three or four hours at the customs while still in ukraine, she agreed on a vacancy for an animator in bulgaria, it was difficult, i went abroad for the first time to work with children, the work was comparatively more difficult than it was in ukraine, because this is a children's center located on the territory of the hotel, according to angelina , it was difficult to work and every day the girl felt homesick

bulgarians were generally russian there were cases when children quarreled with those in another camp, e. russians were pro-russian. they really wanted to go home to their family, to normal food, to normal people. in the end, anastasia and angelina left a foreign country and returned to ukraine. the biggest motivation for them was the desire to hug their relatives and loved ones. and the most important thing was to live and work in their native land . gerashchenko oleksandr kuga espresso bila tserkva , we believe that the war will end very soon and all ukrainians will be able to hug their relatives and

rebuild their country. the next news release will be in less than an hour. there are no more contradictions. one nation that defends its land, there are no more countries of the first, second and third world, there is a civilization that repels the aggressor, there are no more foreign cities and foreign children, there is a homeland and parents for everyone, there are no more soldiers and civilians, we are hardened in the flame, we are united for the sake of victory, not we believe in our struggle, we are faithful in our victory, we are unbreakable i congratulate you dear tv viewers

, the program of the espresso tv channel is now on the air, the studio program, the event, we will analyze the most important deployment of putin's mobilization, preparation for annexation parts of the temporarily occupied territories and, of course, we will talk about putin's nuclear blackmail about this and other things on the espresso tv channel , a retired british colonel will speak, a well-known military expert land grand and a sociologist, a former member of the state duma ihor yakovenko, let's start our analysis a well-known military expert , a retired colonel of the british army, glen grand greetings you , colonel, in the studio of the espresso tv channel, the key issue is russian mobilization and what to expect from it, we see isolated riots certain regions of russia and we see that russia is throwing unprepared soldiers into the furnace of war, but the key question is what this means, how big and long

the kremlin's military campaign will be under the given circumstances, this is a complex question. i believe that we should first consider the military aspect, which consists in involving completely unprepared people hostilities, which in fact will only weaken the advanced positions of the enemy to the front, the russians are now bringing old equipment, old weapons, and to some they are issuing weapons that literally 100 years ago they are now not in in the best position and this should work in favor of ukraine but this situation is not on all areas of the front because where infantry is fighting against infantry the number really matters because it is possible to neutralize a larger number of opponents in general the actions show that the front line is weak and putin needs it to strengthen my concern

is that he will manage to mobilize much more than 300 thousand, we are talking about one or even two million and indeed there will be many people who will arrive at the forefront of those who fled so far it is significantly inferior to this number, then he can replace these people by bringing to the front line properly prepared units from other regions of russia that he still has in reserve, of course ukraine. fleeing from putin , an amazing number of those who cross the georgian border are huge among them, even those who travel from the distant russian hinterland, everyone obviously understands and is afraid of what awaits them in ukraine, no one does it want to die or is it strong enough to

stand up to putin, we see some resistance in dagestan, but it is the only country in the russian federation today that takes decisive action, of course we do not know what is happening in tatarstan or other countries, it is quite possible if putin continues to involve the middle class in the war then he will soon rise up. and now the working class, alcoholics, and the unemployed, whom no one cares about in russia, have been handed out. the excitement will begin only when the war affects the middle class and maybe if they are the sons of someone from the upper class, only then people will start talking what a bad plan this is now putin can continue to survive for a while by sending the unemployed to the frontline yes i agree with you mr. colonel this means that

russia will have internal problems related to with the mobilization of people who are thrown into war unprepared, but on the other hand , we understand that this cannot determine the course of a military company, so it is not for nothing that putin also spoke about nuclear weapons, they do not feel in sufficient force and the fact that the company promises to be protracted if no miracle happens. this is a manifestation of many different things. well, speaking of the deployment, so to speak, of a long war, a long serious bloody war, what will its forms be in your opinion? what should be paid attention to when preparing to win in it, of course, it is about us and about the collective event, i agree with you because after the huge and quick success

near kharkiv, now much more time is needed because the counter-offensive pace has slowed down there is still a huge amount of land that needs to be recaptured, the most important thing is to focus on the key military factors in ukraine, in particular, on learning lessons and training, it is necessary to make sure that the lessons learned on the front lines are transferred to the entire front line. make sure that people get as much training as possible even if it is necessary to collect experienced people from the front lines to train others and when they return they should be in course, such a rotation of knowledge is really important for the constant improvement of the army and saving lives, this is first and second logistics, because now it leaves much to be desired. there are certain critical

areas of logistics, such as radio stations, generators, small drones for work at the company level and, of course, winter clothing for soldiers, such questions should to close within the organization there should be logistics departments to support brigades currently it is happening too slowly it is necessary to place more logistics provision closer to the contact line in particular clothing washing facilities and equipment so that people can wash their clothes this also applies to vehicle maintenance we need to spend more time training maintenance specialists and deploy them closer to the front line at brigade level to create some circulation of spare parts that will return to poland and then again to the front line, these are logistical points that need to be paid attention to and in my opinion, the event may well

to help you with all this, dear mr. colonel, the tactical nuclear weapons hinted at by putin and medvedev, what does this mean that they will dare to take such a step? and what would be the response of a collective action, well, in particular, the united states of america, because it is very difficult to decipher what they really meant by in his response , the united states secretary of state blinking and president joseph biden, first of all, if putin uses tactical nuclear weapons, he will completely reformat the war, and he and everyone must understand this others, it will no longer be an ordinary war between russia and ukraine, it will be a war between russia and the west. because putin in this case does not care about all international norms. he does not even care about the russian agreement on

the use of nuclear weapons. i believe that the reaction will be non-nuclear and with the use of tactical aviation and conventional weapons, because the us has a huge potential when it comes to conventional weapons , the use of which we have already seen in the persian gulf war, it is about a powerful ability to find and hit targets, they are now gravitating towards exactly such a scenario reaction and not to nuclear and what does it mean to use tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield , first of all, there will naturally be a great destruction for this, such a weapon is projected in a relatively small radius, absolutely everything will be destroyed, tactical nuclear weapons will not cause such destruction as, for example, in mariupol, the diameter of the

damage is about one kilometer, except if the rocket lands in an open area, then the effect will be much wider, people within a radius of 20-30 kilometers looking at the explosion will be completely or temporarily blinded, of course, in the nearest zone, everyone will be exposed to radioactive radiation, so if they do not die from the explosion, then they will get sick and die from the radiation, it is about 3-5 km from the epicenter of the explosion, if the explosion hits the ground, there will be a huge release of radioactive mass into the air, and when it rains, it will connect with the particles of radioactive dirt and irradiate the area on which it will fall. so there is a fundamental difference between an explosion that will take place in the air and an explosion on the ground that actually creates a dust bomb by

throwing all this dust and radioactive mass into air that can then move away to another place because it can be picked up by the wind so if putin uses a weapon too close to the russian border it is quite possible that the entire radioactive mass can return back to russia in the case of using such a weapon, one must be very careful about taking into account the direction of the wind is one more point, if they launch such a missile, the ukrainian troops will not know that it is a nuclear missile and it is quite likely that it will be shot down by missile defense systems , in this case there will not be a nuclear explosion, but there will be a radioactive fallout in the city of its landing and this is now the most likely scenario, but in any case even the threat of using

tactical nuclear weapons is evidence of weakness and fear, why was putin so scared of the current situation, standing before this world in all its criminal glory, that is, no one before had no illusions about him, but now he looks like an outright nuclear maniac, which means that things are bad for him, what do you think caused putin to start talking about tactical nuclear weapons or to hint at its use russia started i denishin but back in 2014, they hoped that they would succeed in intimidating the west in this way, they may even think that they succeeded, which in the case of germany and france, since both countries are in a certain sense weak, putin has good reasons to believe that his threats have a certain effect, but he is

afraid for his life and position. he knows that in the event of defeat, he is a corpse. and he still definitely expects to live a good eight - 10:15 years. for the most part, putin is now guided by the usual desire to live, and his i dream of going down in history as the great putin, the great tsar, as the equivalent of stalin, is blowing away with the wind, like all his greatness, so he should think carefully about what he is going to do to maintain his greatness. and if we talk about the military dimension of a specific situation, we understand that putin has revived the use or possible use of certain non-conventional means as a result of the successes of our army, in particular it is about kharkiv region and it is about the donetsk direction, we understand that the russians are only able to do so much bad things well, in the medium-term perspective

, it is about the south in particular that they currently do not have any other conventional response and that is why it is terrible, or are they simply preparing to intercept , so to speak, a strategic initiative and to stick in the south, in particular, it is about the creation of positional bridgeheads as a result of holding these fake anschluss procedures of the so-called annexation of the territory, we understand that putin spoke about such things after he began to prepare for the annexation of the south of ukraine, we understand that the situation on the fronts he has a bad one and, accordingly, this means that he may not have other arguments. perhaps he himself does not believe in his mobilization. now his problem is that the military tools at his disposal on the front lines are not very effective. if

we are talking about a bridgehead, then putin needs to find better ones. soldiers, because those who are there now can advance from that bridgehead, except that the russians are unqualified, they lack training and proper leadership, and of course, with a sufficient amount of weapons and equipment, and yet they can stay on the defensive, i feel that putin wants to keep as much of the territory as possible, which he calls new russia, and which, although it is about to be annexed, in addition, he will try to mobilize all the men in these areas. i hope most of them will do the right thing and not fight, find ways to kill their commanders or something similar, but it is very difficult for those who are dressed in uniform and thrown to the front line to dare to do so, they have to fight to

survive, whichever side they are on. i think that in in the next couple of weeks, we will see something else , because putin is desperately trying to solve the problems he has, namely, the ukrainians are moving forward, bit by bit, cutting off the territory controlled by russia, and we understand that putin needs to fight not only with someone, but also with something , and here the issue of military means, in particular, in order to to hold certain positions, he needs motorized rifle and other assistance, or rather reinforcements, we understand that in order to fight well in the current situation, to hold his positions, putin needs not only mobilized soldiers, he needs equipment, equipment and weapons, we saw that his equipment and weapons are already at a certain end, that is, they are

starting to pull out and deconserve old soviet equipment, that is, some technical miracle did not happen to them. to hold the front line putin is running out of equipment in some directions but he still has a lot of it, one should not underestimate the amount of weapons and equipment lying in storage throughout russia and which he has not yet used, because in other places, for example, on the chinese border , he has troops that still have equipment, he will try to bring these technical reserves to the front , it should also not be forgotten that inside belarus there are also weapons that can be used in this way we should not rush to conclusions that

it is still bad in russia because it still has huge resources that they do not have. so it is a very good logistics system for moving these resources to the right place. that is why it is so important that wherever possible, ukraine broke through and moved faster than putin can actually react. the main thing is to break out of the internal thinking of the kremlin so that they do not have time to think about and strengthen the relevant areas. something incredible happened near kharkov and it must be repeated in other places. well, accordingly, the question is whether do we need to make a breakthrough from the right bank of the dnieper in order to defeat in a military way the russian group that is located near kherson and so on or do we need to take them to the blockade and wait until they surrender, is this a good idea

tactical question. i don't know all the power of the enemy, as well as their stubbornness. only the local command can compare such a decision. i am absolutely sure that if there is a breakthrough due to the forcing of the dnipro, many russians will flee, because it will be a sign for them that ukraine is more skillfully playing a great strategic game between them and you will see that the leaders will disappear quite quickly i am sure that the general staff is planning something as it was and last time we just have to wait i am also sure that the morale of the russians is practically at zero they are like they are never ready to run away, because they realize that they are dying in vain. entering belarus into the war, as far as it can change the strategic situation, if belarus enters the war, it will mean that no
