ms. nataliya, i can't help but ask you. you said that the russians have no success at the front, that's why they are so mad and they shoot with these drones. at the end of last week, on our broadcast, one of the soldiers who are currently in the kherson direction is very angry . yes, we are asking. he tasted the kherson watermelon. the strain was more than transparent . of course. he could not say anything then, but today you can already tell which melon that watermelon was from. there are many of them in the kherson region, and this indicates that not only in the region itself they are in the center, it means that we are moving forward through the kherson region, so it is not so far directly to the regional center, but there is still a lot of work, of course, we will wait. what is the situation at sea, where are the missile carriers, despite the fact that the seas on our

side, it continues to storm moderately, the enemy has again increased its ship group, it is constantly changing here and there, there are currently six ships in the black sea, among which are two missile carriers and two large amphibious ships again, this is a psychological operation, a clear hint that an amphibious operation is possible and they are preparing for something, but the missile carriers are equipped with about 16 caliber missiles and can be used in any region of ukraine. therefore, most likely, they will be applied to critical infrastructure facilities. therefore , in no case should not be activated by air alarm signals, but investors should also panic.

divert attention from these massive attacks. attack by kamika drones, they are used on an absolute parallel, just as from mykolaiv region , they are also firing drones and at the same time you are using the same s300 missiles, as now at night they flew right into the city center along promyslova infrastructure, it is again the use of weapons already on the interriver when they are used in an atypical way, and in particular, these groups of drones that they have been sending recently to the south, you remember our statement - this is the idea of ​​these eight and 12 drones are launched at the same time, this is already used in this way, no matter where it is hit, but our requests for air defense, in particular, and territorial defense with the ground method are quite powerful with them, barely, considering such a short duration, it did not last, i apologize for the

tautology uh, there are alarms in mykolaiv this night and what the military will tell us, but about the fact that the time until the drones fly is so much longer than rockets. well, somewhere they launch them very close to where in mykolaiv region these drones fly or do people manage or do they have enough time to hide in the shelter based on their tactics, but the time is quite moderate, so in principle , people manage to go to the shelter after the announcement of the air alarm signal, but you should not stretch this time, remember that it is 2-3 minutes which you have after the announcement of the signal of the air trilogy, it is necessary to act immediately, operationally, and launch them, most likely , in the temporarily occupied kherson region directly, since we observed the movement

of these drones and their release units there ago of course, they are trying to reduce the distance. it is clear, thank you, ms. natalia, we will wait for good news from you from the front. nataliya gumenyuk , head of the press center of the security and defense forces of the south, live on our air, and then we will move on to military analytics about the situation at the front, then we will talk with the lieutenant colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine mykola salamakha e koli i congratulate you on the broadcast of the marathon, the only news here is the latest, last week, massive drone attacks, yesterday , again, massive drone attacks all over in ukraine, can we talk about the opening of a second front and are there any trends to the fact that it will become the main one, as it was not called the second front, because

we have basically one front - it is the fight against racism, but the tactics and methods of using certain weapons are changing in connection with the fact that all the methods and methods that the russians used before this did not give them the opportunity to achieve the goals that russia set for itself, that is why they are now actively searching for it, and the mass use of drones flying machines especially since it is not of russian production, it is probably in the old as a result of the fact that russia could not achieve any success in other ways, russia retreated from kyiv oblast, zhytomyr oblast, sumy oblast, but kharkiv oblast was almost completely liberated, hostilities began again in

luhansk oblast which the russians had completely covered, now the armed forces of ukraine will gradually begin to recapture it, and again, a rather long period of using various means of air combat led to the fact that ukraine partially lost radar field well, that's because the russians made every effort to destroy our radar stations, those that were stationary, so they also use and exert maximum effort in order to detect those radar stations that have not been destroyed yet, so and apply the maximum no damage so that we settle down. and this , accordingly, gives them the opportunity to more effectively use cruise missiles and ballistic missiles,

well, now they use uh, unmanned aerial vehicles because they simply, they have such a possibility of use, and that's why less from a military point of view, the use of these apparatuses is pointless considering the fact that they are mainly aimed at civilian infrastructure and what do they want to achieve militarily, what is their logic , if we can talk about logic at all it means something to the military plan, it's all the same if the impression is made on critical infrastructure, it's mastitis - it's railway stations, it's energy companies, etc. they fight not only on the front , we produce in ukraine means of impressing the enemy

we do not ensure the vital activity of e.e. hospitals e.e. transport, this all has a different effect on combat operations at the front, accordingly, the enemy understands all these things very well, he understands that the more damage he will cause to the economy of ukraine, the easier it will be to make an impression on the front this one component and the other component are social, all the phenomena that are happening in ukraine are changing to cause panic among the population, uh, this is uh, to make as much impression as possible on those enterprises that will provide for the population warm water electric energy and this is, in principle, the forced use of unmanned

aerial vehicles eh, it is quite likely that we see that he did not agree with you on this because the less they know us, the more they eh this is what they do the more united we become and with more knowledge, i think that the retribution will not be more merciful, so i would not say so, forgive me. but nevertheless, we saw yesterday that people tried , even those who owned weapons, to shoot down these drones and the capital's policemen with registered weapons, even destroyed one uav, it worked, and our air defense system had information, but of course, it could not work at 100%, given such a massive attack, we need to make some adjustments to our requirements for the supply of air defense systems, taking into account such a tactical change

, hmm, this the enemy's offensive and the mass-e mass use of kamikaze drones, first of all, we need to carry out organizational measures in order to use as soon as possible the opportunities available in the armed forces of ukraine and directly in ukraine itself, this is the restructuring of the detection system of unmanned aerial vehicles, this is an alert system and this is an organization at commanding heights , especially in those places that will be of potential interest to the enemy, from points of resistance to just such threats , we do not know examples of many countries in the world that use these various high-rise buildings for the installation of air defense batteries or

fire points that are combined into a single system and that are able to fight e-e against similar means. so the americans used the systems quite widely fighting not only with the means of unmanned aerial vehicles, but also the americans shot mortar mines and artillery shells in flight, and they achieved especially great success in protecting their military personnel on the territory of iraq, but this is a very powerful system that requires the fairly organized work of many effective and such things in order for us to receive them and for us to be able to use them, it probably takes not a week or two weeks, that's why we

can ask for such systems to be provided to us will demand in any case, we cannot, but it will take such a large amount of time that we cannot delay. we must at this moment, and this is a vivid example, when we entered, we shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle, this is an exception to the rules, because, well, such things do happen, but this is not the system. well, let's hope that our requests will be heard and responded to promptly, at least they say it will take at least a few weeks. of the armed forces of ukraine mykola salamakha analyzed the operational situation on the fronts and the marathon continues, stay with us we will be back in

this studio in a few minutes unconquered cities of ukraine zaporizhzhia, the city of harsh metallurgists, glorious engine builders and the powerful hydroelectric power plant on the dnieper and this is also the cradle of the cossack race of ukraine, which never before anyone did not kneel zaporizhia cossacks for centuries defended ukrainian lands from invaders during the war of liberation zaporizhia army fought for independence for the entire country during the second world war during the war, the city withstood the soviet undermining of the dnieper and the german occupation, and now zaporizhzhia is full of the cossack spirit, as always, standing steadfastly

of russia maksym lutsyk studied biology in kyiv and was involved in youth politics today he one of those who will defend ukraine from the enemy, the young man conducts aerial reconnaissance with the help of drones, the boy participated in the battles for the kyiv region, later decided to defend ukraine to the east, as for maxim, the war began before the war, he told our journalists about his military geography and what he was for. a twenty-year-old man from sumy, maksym lutsyk, studied biology in kyiv and was involved in youth politics. now he is one of those who stand in defense of ukraine. the young man conducts aerial reconnaissance with the help of drones. geography has and why he is fighting for all the answers to the questions we will find out in a moment and every year since the 17th i have talked about the coming of a big war in which we will

all take part but i think it will be 26-28 a year, that is, there will be a little later maxim. please tell me where the war found you and what were your first steps. you immediately understood that you would go to fight on the 23rd . in the evening, we sat on a phone call with the poles with the polish association of students and agreed on what if war suddenly starts in our country then the fields will accept our students there, provide them with shelters, working conditions and continuation of studies, so, uh, i came home somewhere at one o'clock in the morning and at 4:50 maybe well, a little before five in the morning, a neighbor ran to me, and how much are we about that boryspil was being bombed, my parents called and rockets were flying to the airport, the war began, we just took our packed backpacks, threw them on, took a 20-liter bottle of water, ran to the shelter that we

had previously determined for ourselves, and we went there. in kyiv without tasks and understanding of what should happen with weapons, but nothing was done. well, there until the 28th, then they already went normally, got registered and went to play football. what did you feel when you saw the long queues at the military checkpoints, maybe there was some pride. well, i thought that, uh, you can't worry about kyiv, and i worried about sumy a little bit, he even thought after we weren't accepted into the stupidest brigade, he thought about going to sumy, well, now i'm pulling away, but i have some common sense, uh- i was overcome by emotions and i realized that i might not make it to sumy. i called the guys in sumy and asked how they were doing. what are you saying? i saw that zhuzhmsta

is standing in front of the himbran, they say that it is temporary , the times are correct. that sumy will definitely not take you yes did i imagine a war when i went to directly defend ukraine, or is war such a thing that it is impossible to imagine and predict, now war in ukraine has acquired a completely modern character, that is, nowhere in the world has such a war been fought with the use of such weapons and such technologies so massively there is not so much world war ii or the conflicts of the 20th century simply because we are there, well , not the size of the soviet union, but it is artillery that uses those anti-tank missile complexes, anti-aircraft e-e complexes manpads that are currently in use this is absolutely unique, but surely no one could have predicted such

offensive tactics, they just drive along the road, uh, no one could have foreseen such a quick capture of the south. well, maybe someone could, but definitely not me. well, i imagined the war like this, and i think that few people could imagine the same bucha there. well, the same irpin , anything in the form in which he is afraid. these cities also happened the crimes committed by the russians, that is, it was impossible to predict it. i never thought that the war would pass for me yes i hope- i hoped that at best it would take place in some trenches in the dugouts there. well , somewhere, but definitely not like that. first we were in brovary, the baryshiv direction there, er, stara basan, lukyanivka, little dymerka, and then we went to irpin from irpen went on foot to bucha

, from bucha to gostomel, when the cleansing of these cities took place. well, our battalion showed itself very well there, and from the voluntary formation of the territorial community, the vast majority of people formed into the fourth rapid response brigade of the national guard of ukraine, this is the 318th combat unit the brigade was created in the 16th year according to nato standards . most of the commanders of my battalion are from the donbas battalion. in terms of feelings and perceptions, you can somehow compare the war in the kyiv region, it is a walk, it cannot be compared with the battles in the east, no way, we got into such battles in the east, the day we arrived in rubizhne, and we literally felt there in 10 minutes much more than in irpen during the entire

stay, i.e. much more . the hostilities have been active for months, they are almost completely destroyed and we are fighting, well, it’s just a firefight. what kind of military specialization do you have? there is a rule that if a scout says that he is a scout, he already not a scout well, but the specificity of my work is that we do not go for nothing, we are still in the territory under our control almost all the time, and our tasks are such that, well, if this is a consideration before the war, a

twenty-year-old man from sumy, maksym lutsyk, studied to be a biologist in kyiv and engaged in youth politics , now he is one of those who stand in defense of ukraine, the young man carries out aerial reconnaissance with the help of drones, how did the war start for the boy, what military geography does he have and why is he fighting for all the answers to the questions, we will find out in a moment and that somehow on the 17th, i said that there would be a big war in which we would all take part . but i think that it will be the 26th - 28th year, well, that is, there will be a little further maxim. please tell me where the war found you and what it was like your first steps , you immediately understood that you were going to fight on the 23rd. in the evening, we sat down to call the poles with the polish students' association and agreed that if a war suddenly broke out in our country, the poles

would accept our students there, provide them with shelters, work conditions and continue their studies, so e- is i came home around one o'clock in the morning and at 4:50 a.m. maybe a little before five in the morning, a neighbor ran up to me and told me that boryspil was going to be bombed . we threw on our backpacks, took a twenty-liter bottle of water, ran to the shelter that we had previously determined for ourselves, so we went there to the military commissar at 9:00 in the morning. that is, we walked around kyiv for a while without tasks and understanding what should happen with weapons, but we did nothing. well, there until the 28th on the then we already left, got dressed normally and went to practice in the evening. what are you even joking about when i saw the long queues at the military commissariats, maybe there was some

pride. well, i thought that you can not worry about kyiv and worried about sumy a little, he even thought after we were not accepted into the first brigade, he thought about going to sumy, well, now i'm squirming, but i have some common sense, uh , i got the better of my emotions, and i realized that i might just not make it to sumy, i called the boys of sumy, asked how they were doing, what am i saying, i saw that it was tight standing in front of himbran, they say that it is temporary , the times are correct well, in a few days it became clear that sumy will definitely not take you. that's how i imagined the war when i went to directly defend ukraine, or war is such a thing that it is impossible to imagine and predict, the war now in ukraine has acquired an absolute of a modern nature, nowhere, never in the world. they did not fight with the use of such weapons

, uh, such technologies, so massively, uh, it is not so massive there. the second world war or the conflicts of the 20th century, simply because we are there not of the size of the soviet union, the country, the artillery, which is used, those anti-tank e-e missile systems, anti-aircraft e-e manpads systems that are currently in use. this is absolutely unique, but surely no one could have predicted such offensive tactics, they have been going since the first days of a full-scale war . joined the ranks of territorial defense, i was a reserve officer in 2014, i could not go to war because i had just given birth, so i went to the front now 15% of the ukrainian army are women

with work, courage, honor and courage, they proved that they are no different from the other 85%. in ukraine there is no weaker sex, maybe guns and a tank will rake wheat with me again. on the rope and mourn the mother when her sons go to war, someone will give a sweet kiss at the end, and someone will wave a tear, and maybe someone will lose faith and strength, saving their life, but not me, how i will not stand up, no matter how much it

hurts. i am for our dear and beloved land. i am glad to take on all the lights. winter two hours of air time until 21:00 two hours of your time we will talk about the most important things two hours to learn about the war serhiia zhoretska joins our broadcast the military results of the day and what is the world like what is there in the world yuriy the physicist will tell two hours more to be aware of economic news oleksandr frowns. he talks about the economy during the war and new sports. evgeny pastukhov is ready to talk about sports for two hours in the company of his favorite presenters. is lena ready to talk about culture during the war, or something else ? to many people, it is possible that the weather will give us some optimism, natalka didenko is
