not a single letter from him and they promised us to send a letter from him to nova poshta, so we are waiting for this letter, i am really waiting for what he wrote to us there, what he informed us about, i am looking forward to it, i don't know how you reacted to this letter, i simply and to your words just now it's goosebumps just because i understand how encouraging it is and let's hope that it's really a fresh letter because the day before, well, others also received letters, but they were dated three months ago , and in fact, what information is in that letter that we we understand that three months have passed, we will calculate that this letter really did not arrive for us for several months. and it is much faster for us, in fact, your son, like the rest of the garrison, actually from snake island, they were the first to be captured, and this war began with them where are they now, how many of them

are currently in captivity and in what conditions are they being held because what we saw and know from the stories already in mariupol and later these are really terrible things but we hope that it is possible that those who were the first so far well, maybe i am just expressing hope that everything is not so bad for them, well, on february 24, on the very first day, they were captured, the last contact with him was a correspondence in telegram, uh, somewhere around 4 p.m. he sits down a lot, at the same time, he never once reported that they had any skirmishes, there were any hostilities. therefore, they learned later that at that time there were already attacks on them both from the air and from the sea, he never once talked about this alone. i only said that ships of the russian federation are being bought near us, but that's too late

evening how is everyone? well, there was a message that apparently all the defenders of the island of change died, but thanking god that after some two days we found out that after all they were captured and captured on video. well, close friends began to forward links to russian songs where we they really saw their son so that he was alive together with other defenders, they were replaced, there were more than 80 people, at the moment we know that there are more. well, about 2/3 of these defenders were also border guards, marines. they remain in captivity, and in fact we have not received any message except that, well, a little less than a dozen or eight have been sent to relatives, and most of them did not even

receive 8, but we are also waiting for the letter that they informed us today that we should receive, in what conditions they are being held, what is the state of their health we don't know their physical and psychological condition , because we didn't get any information from all the reports, from all the appeals to the red cross, to all the authorities. well, it was reported that no one was ever allowed in and no one knows where they are kept. at the beginning of the month until april, when some of the exchangers got in. the defenders were not a very large number of people, and we already know from them that they are constantly. literally during the several months when they were there, they were transported. during those 4 months , they are constantly changing their places of stay and conditions in everyone in every city is very different p russian and tell us about your nikita because the russians want us to forget everyone and for us everyone is dear and important and why did he decide to become a

border guard how did he get to zmiiny island why he chose this path, look. he graduated from our kili transport college, eh, he has already completed it since the age of 19. well, he had a desire to further study to get a full vocational education, eh, he enrolled her in part-time studies at the izmail institute, and the question became about what is needed . to go to the service and he had the choice of either needing a contract or going to military service and he himself first tried to sign a contract here at his place of residence we have a unit here that is on a boat but he did not have the opportunity and he it was his decision, he drove negotiated, passed the medical commission and signed a contract, and in january 22nd, it was a year since

he was already a contract worker and was studying, and they actually have no service on the island, they were sent here and there , along with others, to be reinforced in connection with by the fact that at that time there were already exercises, there was a large concentration of enemy ships, and as i understand it , that is why they were sent there to reinforce the special service on the island of change, and in the future, at the beginning of the war, the defenders of the island of change will be even worse. he was captured. and one more i want to say that 28 on september 21, he was already in captivity . his birthday was his 21st birthday, he had to meet in an enemy column for 21 years, that is, when the war began in 2014, he was 12 years old. 12 years is almost half

the life of a young man. this is life in a country that is surrounded by a war that the russians have not felt in fact all these years, only now they are starting to feel a little bit and thanks to those events, for example, there, like this explosion on the crimean bridge well, but well, the only thing that pleases of course, the russian warship also paid its price for all these stories. i don't know if there is a little bit. the phrase that we all heard, it actually immortalized him, they also

issued a stamp, we all know that, and we also did not forget about the cat who was saved. the number of defenders having changed the island to the present time, they are in captivity. i think that it is necessary to constantly mention this, and in fact, this will be our mention . i think that all this will also be the same and they will feel that something is about them, although they cannot watch these news, but they will feel what do they think about them, what do they remember about them, and i think that well, because they are for change, they say that for change, we have already won on the snake's but i think that while the last hero, the defender of the island of change, is in captivity until then, well, you can say that we really released the island of change so when the last defenders of the island of change will return home can

we safely say that we really defeated him just changed our well then, let's hope that your son and his brothers will really return home all damaged maybe they will lose a few kilograms because how we can see that the russians treat prisoners not at all the same way they treat those captured by the russian military in ukraine well, but in principle, the russians still have a lot to learn how to be people are far from people. thank you, mr. ruslan, we will tell about and about your son and his brothers, uh, remind us about them and hope that they will return home soon. ruslan julian, the father of a captured fighter from snake island , nikyty zhuryana, was with us on communication, we are

rooting for everyone to finally return to their families, then with us oleksandr kovalenko , a military-political observer of the information resistance, will uh, we will also talk about the general situation. well, of course, about the bridge as well as without it in the meantime, kirill strimuusov is such an interesting person, i don’t know what exactly he is. the truth is that he has a position. well, there they call him gauleiter, gauleiter of the kherson and kherson regions. one of them said that they had decided to take out children and people. of elderly people to russia to russia to crimea, the rostov region and the krasnodar region, up to 10,000 children and adults are going to be taken out of kherson - this is their import. is it ours

? due to the fact that we are ready for the time of a difficult period this is how he said that a difficult period will be prepared for a difficult period in the city of kherson for the russian occupiers. this is the story of 10,000 children, of course, they are fantists. some fantastic moments are already with us. oleksandr kovalenko , military and political observer of the information resistance . oleksandr, good day to you. good day, mr. oleksandr, not only as the structure itself, which is destroyed, but as an informational resistance, er, as er, what effect does this destroyed bridge have on the russians and on those who are in crimea, on those who are in

russia well, let's say. so it was unexpected both for ukrainians and even more so for russians who were sure that there their city has some kind of super protection from there, there is air defense there, there is their e flochilia, and there are border troops of the fsb and so on and so on well i.e. were there even satellites watching this instructional even this is happening of course this is such a large-scale moral and psychological pressure precisely on the consciousness of russians that well, they were sure that this is the most protected object after the kremlin, probably although today it is not after the kremlin all the more than in novoharyov and therefore in fact it is really a shock for them. this is a real shock for them, but for us it is an opportunity to celebrate

such a beautiful picture, you know, here such an infographic came out. but i am now, here are a few more months ago ka- komsomolskaya pravda eh, if we can show them, they explained why it is impossible for ukraine to ever attack the kerch bridge because it has 20 degrees of protection, that’s it, i’m asking, oksano just mentioned there, including the satellite and combat dolphins, here it is and e mak- they had a missile ship styl e-e where boats combat swimmers e-e zrk bastion beech-triumph wasp armor court 30 well in a word what was there but nothing but something nothing helped them and what happened happened well of course officially there is still no confirmation, but there is probably some small probability, because they say that, well, that is, relatively speaking,

if you take a large number of uh lego bricks and shake them for several billion years, it can be formed, for example , some uh, well, i don’t know. model star wars well, that's it for example, yes, that is, theoretically, such a mathematical possibility exists there, so it could be that someone really smoked, everything happens, not exclusively, that this happened because we must understand that the infrastructure is so protected, and it still has at the entrance and exit from the kerch crimean bridge, what is it and the kerch bridge called who like a is uh-uh, it’s so very interesting in them uh-uh system it’s a-uh stationary inspection uh-uh radio technical complexes st-6035 and that is, they don’t allow transport to go to the city itself which has some explosive

dangerous substances, that is, if there really is a version that it exploded hmmm, supposedly a truck exploded, now there is such a version, but if it was really the case, what do we have, that this one, having no analogues in the world, st6035, it does not work, well, probably the same why don't my dolphins work? or would it take a lot of explosives to knock down these two spans? well, the explosion was powerful enough. and it depends on that. it's hard to say where exactly the epicenter of this explosion was, but it could be, for example, -e 200 kg 300 kg or even more it can be up to a ton of explosives, and the explosion is quite powerful, so if we say that it is possible, we could place a large amount of

explosives somewhere under the bridge. somewhere under the support of the span, some combat divers were placed, and therefore i guess that the version about what happened . well, there will be a large number in the near future . conspiracy has an opportunity for the development itself in relation to these events. and by the way, what is this will mean at the same time, almost at the same time, another event took place, namely, a very serious attack by ukrainian rockets and rockets at the ilovaisk railway junction. could these be related events? how does this affect the logistics system? well, the russians are already shouting telegrams . on the channels, their military reviews or about the fact that this is all preparation for the offensive on kherson

, and in the end stremalusov himself only a few minutes ago announced this kherson gauleiter that they will begin the evacuation of people who want to leave the city or how to force the children to leave there for russian territory, well, it’s very strange because he himself restrained himself. he said that everything is actually fine in kherson. everything is fine. and here’s the real issue. well, the contour offensive of the ukrainian armed forces in kherson on the right bank of the kherson region has already been happening for a long time . we can see the result of this contour offensive operation, and in terms of support, we really talk a lot about the logistical arteries, at the expense of which we provide the forces and means of the advanced units of the russian occupation forces. but the most important thing is that after all, among all the logistics arteries, it is not so much highways - it is so much highways in how many uh, exactly uh, railways, railway tracks, railway junctions,

railways, namely, by providing for their troops, and by railways, they can significantly increase the efficiency of advanced units. now we say it's not about the fact that the system of providing advanced units is already ineffective, it's not about advanced units because, for example, the crimean bridge, its railway part is actually the deep rear is the provision of the deep rear of such a transport hub, which temporarily occupied the crimean peninsula, now it ceases to be a transport hub for the provision of the southern bridgehead of the kherson region and the zaporizhzhia region, the provision of russian occupation troops, and for about a day they left crimea for the southern bridgehead of the technical echelons

from 100 to 150 units. and this is a large number, and that is why they had the possibility of this permanent supply, now they will no longer be able to somehow realize this amount decrease and that is, you will feel it from the deep rear, already on the front lines, and these units will not be able to significantly. you can hold the defense and what are you forced to do to run away well , i'm sure they will do this in the near future, they are talking about the fact that after this blow-up of putin's bridge, maybe there will be a capitulation, but we know that earlier the russians talked about the fact that god forbid something will happen in crimea, well, ukraine and

the world cannot avoid a nuclear attack, so they will surrender or something else, it is still too early to say about surrender and it will not happen in the near future. and here is the answer, well, the answer. we must understand what will it be? well, what did putin do? he will declare war, not in ukraine. well, again, he is leading troops into the territory of ukraine. well, he surprised me. well, he can, for example, call this so-called special military operation some kind of counterinsurgency operation. the answer should be other and this is exactly a forceful forceful response, for example, striking critical infrastructure, and civil critical infrastructures of ukraine, it does not rule out that they can implement this, for example, this account is exactly chess-like 36 of these kamikaze uavs, but with something

to surprise large-scale mass no, they don’t have it today, i’ll remind you that on february 24, they launched more than 160 missiles with their cruise and ballistic missiles on the territory of ukraine. on february 24, after that, they never repeated such a massive missile attack . shelling the territory of ukraine, they don't have enough resources to repeat it now, implement it somehow now, that's why we expect the massive use of shahed 136, but we are also ready for it , somehow it doesn't scare us, it's just that in russia, they are scared that something like this is happening with such an object as the roman bridge, even before this wonderful news with the crimean bridge happened today, it became known from belarusian sources that there are already 20 kamikaze drones at the airfield in belarus, and this is very close to the

borders of ukraine, actually to the rivne region accordingly, kyiv and the center of ukraine and western ukraine may be under attack. it has been calm lately , and yes, in some, it is quite calm, let's say so, compared to what is happening in kharkiv oblast, donetsk oblast, mykolaiv oblast, kherson oblast, or zaporizhzhia. so we must understand that the territory of belarus will be used by the russian federation in order to continue to carry out these actions of terror against both the civilian population of ukraine and against civilian objects, they are now emphasizing the use of nobles 136 therefore does not rule out that they will be used precisely on the northern bridgehead. i am not sure that it will be an attack on kyiv, because the air defense in the capital is quite

reliable. it will be difficult for it to break through with twenty uavs. to the cities of ukraine, lutsk, for example, chernihiv, i do not rule out that they can strike, there is such a big risk that they will use eh on eh cities that are less protected due to defense in the short term well, it depends on the fact that today we have anti- aircraft defense, it is limited in terms of the number of units, this is, again, means of small medium and large radius of the large radius, is it, for example, the s300, they are not used against such small objects as the szlachet 136, it is precisely the complexes of small and

medium radius that are needed, first of all, we can use such as the tunguska zsu , the cheetah from germany, another torbuk zrk e osa stryla is also used 10 and others are them limited quantity e. if, for example, we move these complexes from one region to another, that is, the other region will be significantly smaller and have the capacity to protect a-a air defense, and therefore, in the first place, we must count on our international partners a by the way, it is the zsu cheetah from germany, and they turned out to be quite effective against route 136 because, well, it is the radar at the expense of rls, which is a very cool relay of the crews. and they detect them

at a much greater distance than other similar ones complexes at the expense of the ministry of the interior, first of all, we are talking about complexes that have been using our method since soviet times, so this is a rather complicated situation, and the method was said, oleksandr, you say that well, what can they do, that they can declare a war in ukraine or something like that? why are we not scared here? well, on the other hand, this is exactly what one of the russian politicians and deputies is calling to do, the leader of the party is just russia, that's so oxymoron, he's real. yes, russia is washed up, if lermontov would write the classic, then this leader washed-up russia, er, p- says that er, mironov is sergey mironov, his name is, and he wrote that er, now i will try to translate it, the crimean bridge, a special military operation is completed, it is time to fight

hard, the most hard, without looking back at any objections from the west, there will be no more bad words, they will no longer tell us what to do and we are going all the way back, there is no way back, there is no need to respond. this is how he wrote on his twitter . well, it's me to declare war, it will also probably sound funny, but what will it change for russia, what will it change for us , what will it change for the world, it won't change anything for us , well, the situation will be the same, maybe we understand them they have such a frightened president, such an amorphous president or what not can answer call it a war but still why

don't they call a war a war actually there is a legal part of this story and if russia declares war on some other country and what exactly is the aggressor country and then such an international one instances in the structure of the un can start a very interesting process. it is a process to deprive russia of the rules in this area. moreover, they can even deprive russia of voting rights. this will be a big problem precisely for russia because it uses radbesuon in first of all, as a platform for rebroadcasting their propaganda narratives, a world -class platform, they will lose it well, they cannot lose it. this is the most important thing for them that there is uh, that's why they will declare no war, they they can rename their ied. there, for

example, again, a specific operation, but no more here. it’s interesting to see that you say that it doesn’t depend on the name of this entire special operation. the russian mass media have already published instructions on how to cover events around the crimean bridge and it is important to emphasize that it is not destroyed but damaged shades shades are very important in russia russian e-e the ministry of transport has already announced that by eight o'clock in the evening today they have to restore the movement of trains over that bridge, it will really be like that, we don't know, but they made such and such a statement, you see. well, yes, they are really freezing to do

it . uh, the bridge is uh, it's difficult today. somehow, we have to assess what is uh, really some damage, how serious they said about a kilometer of 300 m, what are the uh, problems there? well, what about restoring it, if it's serious enough, then a kilometer 300 m e-e to ukrainian specialists for this well it probably took a week or even less, eh, it might take a month for the russians. and if we talk about the automobile part, then we already see that it is impossible to implement automobile traffic there, even on another lane. why, because this section has damage to the structure of eh structurally speaking, it is already damaged, so moving there is actually dangerous, especially in

a 24/7 format, constantly, and that's why at least the automobile part will not work for a long time, what about the railway? well, we'll really see if they restore it that's why we'll see it in the evening, if not we'll understand that they're really lying again, they're lying again , we'll see everything like this. thank you very much oleksandr kovalenko, the military-political observer of information sports, joined us today, we have good news there, the mood of the russians says that he is damaged, but we still see that there is such a good hole there, yes , the automotive part has failed, two sections are going to release a new brand, we hope that later this brand will end up at some auctions and help to collect funds for our armed forces of ukraine, which are driving the enemy to or in the direction where the

russian warship is being driven or in the direction of russia, it doesn't matter where the main thing is that they leave our land, especially that they don't return afterwards, they don't have the strength to do so opportunities this is how we finished our first hour of the second part of our marathon, we will be back very soon, but now it's time for news, what happened in the last hour, iryna koval knows and will tell us already thank you, colleagues, i was listening to you too they talked about the kerch bridge and while you and i are rejoicing, the russians are already calculating the damage , i will tell you more about everything in a moment 15:00 in ukraine at the studio of iryna koval
