well, these are two sides, two systems that have this kind of drones, their armies are saturated with drones, so in any case, they will try to kill the very operators who control it, the very headquarters will destroy those who control it, because the person who was the target and that remains, or the drone itself cannot be the goal of the game is uninteresting, any war is waged in order to destroy the enemy, destroy his infrastructure, and you will begin to take him . we thank yuriy kasyanov, the commander of the armed forces intelligence drone unit of ukraine that develops and produces drones and it is quite nice that there are such people today, what an enlightening as you noticed, the program told us how this bridge also exploded and now we know about drones and now i will say goodbye to you for 3 minutes vietnamese balm star the first

however, it is not enough for them to know what is happening, one must understand antin borkovskyi and the invitation experts soberly evaluate events, analyze them by modeling our near future that saturdays at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10 p.m. studio event with anton borkovsky naispresso mykola veresen vitaly portnikov and the main topics of the week if used against ukraine god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons will definitely change the world history problems analysis and personalities john gerbs, the former ambassador to the united states in ukraine, is waiting for us.

i was a photographer during the war, and now i am a combat medic, all my relatives think that i became a soldier, because in appearance i remembered olena stepaniv, who fought for ukraine in the first world war, she was just as small and became the first female officer in the world, 15% of the ukrainian army are women with their work, courage and honor and with courage they proved that they are no different from the other 85%." hello, it didn't even take three minutes, but about three minutes before i reappeared. thank you for waiting. we will continue our program, let's talk

about ukrainian sea borders. yes, we have andriy ryzhenko, expert of the defense strategy center, captain of the first rank of the reserve. good health. i hope mr. andriy will appear now. good health, sir. bridge we can at least approximately well now ukrainians are all praying that there will be more destruction there and the russians are showing that as if a train went somewhere a car went somewhere something positive for the russians is happening as far as we can now talk about what is really there mr. andrii, first of all, i would maybe share it with us, maybe

three levels, the first level - after all, it's like this, let's say, geo-strategic influence, because the kerch place was personally such a toy of putin's, he initiated it, he financed it, he, er, watched according to its construction, and he uh, that means he opened it, we remember how he was on a kamaz, he didn't fasten anything, and that means uh and uh, i'll say that ah, well, the russians. they are still undermining it and it's already clear there uh, well, it wasn't some kind of there uh, no, no, no, no it was an explosion , and it is really a very serious challenge, but

this russian system is what, what, what are they doing, well, it’s basically in theory, but supposedly everything is fine there, but in fact, well in fact, it means vulnerable, firstly, secondly, from the operational point of view, it means the significance of the crimean bridge, we know that, in principle, it provided the logistics of the military group located on the crimean peninsula, and this meaning is very, very serious because it it's a group tens of thousands of military personnel were being built up, and so on. well, all this equipment and military personnel, and so all these expendable materials, ammunition,

they went from kuban to krym, and from krym to kherson. now, the big question is whether to what extent this will continue and the third level - this is directly this tactical what is the damage to the bridge well, yesterday really at the end of the day they launched one line this automobile line it is supposedly there well as if at least it may not be damaged passenger cars can move but again well so in general, such an explosion can affect the neighboring strip, and everything must be checked again, and indeed, if there is a problem there, they will not say anything else . well, if we look at the iron sheet, we can see that there it is quite seriously burned, and well, this does not happen so that there would be no damage there. i think there are two. i saw two

lines there. they use one line. no , but again. well, such a fire cannot but have consequences. they somehow close something there, but in those volumes, they will not be able to. drive these are the ones serious loads, i.e. one second here is a very important point you have touched on. that is, there is some kind of dependence, but if two branches are taken for 100% of possibilities, then one branch is 50%. if i teach it, the possibilities are even smaller because it is a whole logistics complex, but it is acquired there. i would say that it is a maximum of 50%. at most because they have the only one and there was a serious fire that lasted for several hours and well here you have to check everything because well there uh because the construction must be very

serious and but only the bearing supports themselves they could. the same ones could be used with both needles, and in general, you have to look. well, this needle, which is closer to the sea of ​​azov, is more burnt and probably more damaged. well, i think that's for sure, and again, you have to look at it. well, really, they not the rocks. well, to confirm this, i want to remind you what happened after, for example, two rockets hit the cruiser moscow. yes, so that it would be said that he is fine, everything is fine. he is afloat, he is going there for a small repair. and that the next day he drowned, he simply drowned because he could no longer no no no there his efforts there help could not do anything, i can remind you of the story of the submarine kursk then, in general

, there half a day after that there were two serious explosions on it and in fact the entire crew died, they said that the submarine was on the ground the connection is established, everyone is alive and healthy, it's a miracle , it means a little and we will raise it to the surface, too , and here, that is, they are hiding the real consequences of this, this, this, the fire is exploding, this is one hundred percent well, i think that not when it will pass in a few days, and an analysis of what is going on there will be done, it will be possible to clearly say what really happened there, but what they will know is that i think it is precisely because, well, in principle, their engineering works normally, but they will not say anything about this in reality . i think that tomorrow's radbes, which was convened in moscow by putin, will be

dedicated to exactly this episode because, well, it had an impact on putin directly, it could be because of the war, this is the second such episode that had such an impact after the moscow cruiser, it's kerch bridge mr. andriy, look, now let's look a little wider. i mean the whole of crimea, not only this bridge, but what in general. well, imagine a picture that i really want to imagine, and not even just imagine experiencing it and seeing it. ukraine came out on the administrative border with crimea and begins to advance into the crimean peninsula, what awaits ukraine there, ukrainian troops , large russian forces are really concentrated there, there is really a concentration of equipment, it is a complicated story or

not a complicated story, is there a bridge, does it play a role in this history doesn't play, that is, that now in crimea from a military point of view, well, well, historically, crimea is a difficult thing in order to conduct such land operations there. yes, we remember the second world war, in principle, here is the army at that time, perhaps the most advanced german, how much was actually there, well, the terrain of the crimea is such that, in principle, it does not contribute to offensive operations, and we remember this one hundred percent, all of you, your turkish, wow, and there can be very serious problems. things and leaving the crimea is not very easy by the way the continental part of ukraine and well, we will find out i think after and they are very much ready for this,

they tortured such uh really serious effect of fire on our positions and they did it on the first day of the war, but i can say that well, the terrain of the crimea attack of the higher to conduct operations there is difficult this especially applies to the southern coast of crimea. well, i remember you. my grandfather was a marine during the second world war. he told me that he either banned sevastopol. he told me that well, if we had some help there, then we would i would never give up sevastopol during the second world war, because there, well, in fact, there are such systems of mountains and well, in general. forces of ukraine, their success is exactly

where they are going, no classical non-linear approaches to the liberated territory are used, the tactics of mobile groups of mobile warfare are concentrated, very serious, such uh, technological weapons, well, our personnel is always so motivated, eh concentrated, very well prepared units, professional unit, osolo, special operations, a-a, aerobatics of the mechanized brigade, tank units, marines, and then a serious blow is delivered, and then, well, well, really. further, but crimea is from the point of view of what you are asking him, it can be such a very difficult thing, but what i want to

say is that i studied at the command college of the armed forces of the russian federation, and well, this is the academy of the general staff, and my teacher was sergey nikitovich khrushchev, yes, this is nikita serhiyevich , and i once asked him. well, i am sevastopol myself, and i asked him. it was the 12th year, i say serhiy nikitovich. but what kind of him, why did your father decide to join you in the 54th year crimea to ukraine, and he says, you know, in principle, the solution is very simple, three positions: first water , second electricity, and third food, because after the second world war, crimea was very, very badly damaged, and in principle, its restoration actually took place only thanks to the southern regions of ukraine that sent and

manpower and materials, and gradually we know that they even integrated into the northern eye region of the crimea and after they built the northern and northern crimean canal yes, and they supplied water, it was not because of this well, crimea was actually lying and someone in principle well, the prospects for the future and the life of crimea depends very, very much on ukraine and on those people who work there, and the last question is important. and when we discussed, when did you actually explain the problems with the offensive of ukrainian troops on crimea, which we all hope will happen sooner or later, how much absence in fact, the lack of ukraine’s fleet can have an effect on this. well, usually there are some amphibious operations from the rear, from the side, from the sea, and so on

and so on, and here in ukraine there are no such opportunities. as far as i understand, there may be something secretly somewhere, but i don’t know about it. this means a war on the peninsula without a fleet. well, look at the russians. now let's see what they can do to us. now , in principle, they are ready and in the stage of fulfilling three main operational issues. the first issue is the blocking of our ports. blocked on february 24, and then, thanks to these diplomatic efforts, we unblocked and pressure and two more ports, and it works, but they can capture them very quickly, well, we can’t oppose it in fact, well, no way, because what you say is that we don’t have surface forces capable of that's it, and secondly, they can land

an amphibious assault. they have 12 amphibious ships. they are now in control of novorossiya . they are currently rebuilding the 810th brigade. land an amphibious assault. and well, just like on the black sea, so if it is needed on the azov sea. for this, they really need it. well, they are now afraid of our anti-ship systems of coastal ones, but well, in the case of neutralization, they will do it, and the third position is the application of missile strikes and launching missile strikes, well, now we know that they actually have 9 ships left with calibers as it was, and they are located near the southern coast of crimea, and well, they are ready to launch these missiles at any moment, and another thing is that they do not have these missiles yet

a lot is not a lot, but it is possible to do that, and that is why we cannot influence them in any way in that region, because our coastal systems do not work there, and there are such ships. well, i am a supporter of having missile boats because they cost, well, four five times less than the corvette and no, the number of missiles may not be so far, but we don’t need it far now. when we close this close zone, this operational zone , the northwestern part of the black sea, 80 by 120 miles, then we can already think about central part of the black sea, about the great sea campaigns there , the sea of ​​land, and so on, we also need it there. thank you very much andriy ryzhenko, expert of the defense strategy center, captain of the first rank of the reserve, he was with us , and we will move on to diplomacy. but before moving on to diplomacy, i want to say that the questions

will begin at 4 p.m. :40 that is, in almost 20 minutes, i will answer questions. if i get them a little bit, i already have them, but if anyone else wants to ask something, please go to the espresso tv website and we will. i will try to answer if i can. volodymyr yelchenko permanent representative of ukraine to the un 15-19 years extraordinary plenipotentiary of ukraine in the united states 20-21 years good health, mr. volodymyr, nice to see you thank you for volunteering to talk with us on sunday, thank you, good health, mr. mykola and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes well, we still know money for fish again, as real ukrainians, so then questions arise again, and let's start from the other side, how far are we now convinced of such a neutral with

hints about the ukrainian position of china, india for the first months, it was a neutral pro-russian position, now they say that it is as if the efforts of ukrainian diplomacy can, but i think that in the first years of american diplomacy, they put pressure there accordingly on the official day and on the official beijing, they somehow began to say well, it seems so, at least, well, they became a little more neutral how fair is this feeling? please tell me, mr. volodymyr. it seems to me that it is much more fair than just a couple of months ago, eh, because from the very beginning, eh the full-scale invasion of russia on february 24, and india and china, they took such a long wait, it seems to me, with the hope that russia will quickly

win , this is a fact. by the way, today we don't have a message in china or a war, but that's the point, eh, these are big countries, whether you like it or not, we don't like them, but we have to deal with them, we have to deal with their interests, eh, until the day before yesterday, i would say yes their interests coincided much more with russians than with ours. today, i am not so sure of everything and i am even sure of the reverse that both countries, which have such a wise diplomacy, which has many more , let's say, thousands of years, than the european ones, they have their own style. they are very they have been thinking for a long time, they have been thinking for a long time

, and they thought for eight months and came to the conclusion that it seems to me that something went wrong in russia, which means that the vector needs to be changed, and it seems to me that they are already changing it . we have seen hmm several cases of voting at the un general assembly, i don't mean the security council, but not the general assembly. as far as i remember, china abstained several times on issues where it had always voted against ukraine. india even voted for that famous resolution . it seems from march 2 of this year, which condemned things in russia, which scored 141 votes, there was definitely india's vote for uh, so the position of these countries is changing and uh, we should not wait and think that it will happen by itself, the countries themselves must

continue actively work i think it is is being done nothing, i know that it is being done uh, it is necessary to appoint without words and you have to work with them, i will say once again that we may not like some, well , some of their positions on some issues that uh, well, where do we differ. but on the issue of opposition uh, with the russian federation, we definitely need the support of these countries, and by the way, we will need it even more when the time comes, and it will come very soon, as i am already uh, sure when russia will be expelled from the organization of business, as our russian friends say, or i don't know enemies anymore места more details, but i would really like it, and what mechanism is there? i understand that political will may arise, but still, the world order is an order. there must be algorithms, you can't

say how the russians are. this is my land, all the same, from here , that is, we need some kind of algorithm, what can it be ? are international lawyers thinking about this, this, this expensive road map for the expulsion of russia yes, of course, they are already thinking about it for the first month, and by the way, i would like to note the role of such a quasi non-governmental organization. it is rather an association of people who were united by the idea or conviction that russia should be kicked out of the zone, they created such a group, with the intention of joining it, there are ukrainian american lawyers, israeli lawyers, hmm, the initiator of this group, yury lutsenko, is not even the last name of the prosecutor general the former is our compatriot who lives today in germany, so he actually started this process, er. this

group was in new york for several weeks, they actively held meetings and presentations there. that is, to put it briefly, there are two ways, the first way is article 5, article 6 of the un charter is to expel russia because it is cynical, the un shamefully violated here, and by the way, not only in the case of ukraine, whose syria and georgia and many other things are there, this path is difficult because it is more a political rather than a legal path is to question and cast doubt on the authorities of russia as a country that illegally occupied the place of the former soviet union from 1991, that is exactly the path that this group of lawyers proposes to take, i will not say that i am 100% sure that this the way is better than than the first but russia

does everything every day so that uh and the first way uh is used. and by the way, the reality of the scenario or the first or the second will show a lot about the voting of the resolution um, the say of which is the usa and albania, what will be the bending of the assembly on tuesday or on wednesday next week, on monday , the work of the special emergency situation on ukraine will be resumed, and there the resolution that was cobbled together by russia in the un security council a few days ago will be considered. for almost a week, the americans have decided to pass the resolution consider says special because there is no

russian language yes and accordingly this resolution has every chance to pass it is a very strong resolution that actually repeats mm uh i would say so the resolution that at one time uh held in the 60s years of the last century in relation to the south african republic. there was talk of the liquidation of, say, atrateid. that is, in fact, it is an isolation that, er, begins the process of complete isolation of russia in the organization of the united nations, if you add to that the fact that a couple of weeks ago, the first thing and coffee is an international silver organization in fact, it is a branch of the un, or a specialized organization, in fact, they put russia on it . it is not a red list like interpol. that is, all flights of russian aircraft outside the

airspace of the russian federation are prohibited, if you add to that the election of a representative of russia to the post of the general director of the international telecommunication union in geneva, too. a couple of days ago, and another well, out of a dozen relevant ones, these are the cases when russia simply fell into complete isolation, that is, it is no longer voted for, its representatives are not elected so the next stage should be the simple exclusion of russia due to the dangers of the un. well, in general, the organization of joint operations. look at this question. if you had asked me just a few weeks ago, i would have been pessimistic, but today i already have much more optimism, because everything that russia does every minute is also biased against it. and by the way, if you watched or watched lavrov's speech at

the un hymnal assembly a few weeks ago, he reminded me very much of gaddafi's speech in 2009 because gaddafi's two years were simply torn apart and why did they hang their own compatriots, that is when the stepfather of the un did not tear up the un charter, and lavrov literally said half of his speech, he repeated the negation of the anglo-saxon rebellion, about the march of christ from the west against the russian federation, that is, if instead of not all of it, libya is said, it will be a speech by e- one day at a time, volodymyr, this is a very technical question. well, let's imagine maps. i just want to imagine this picture. because such a picture did not exist in 1945 , let's imagine voting in the security council and in the general assembly.
