his name is not volodymyr, but serhii, but it is not so important. if his name were not russians are going to leave kherson, and in their reports , yesterday and today, they constantly talk about the fact that the armed forces of ukraine want to launch a massive attack on kherson , and there is already information about that that the russians want to turn kherson into mariupol 2, and that is why they are trying to get out of this situation in some way, and then explain to their non -audience in russia what they are saying. look, the fascists entered our city there, as they think, and arranged there, it is not clear what according to you, will the russian federation go to provocations, because there is a

lot of talk about what they want, they say to ukrainians, they want to flood the kakhova hpp, well, that is, blow up and flood the cities below the kakhova hpp, or will russia follow your plan on such provocations, because we understand that for them there are no limits and no prejudices of any kind, even to what to do and what not to do. the fact is that they are talking quite actively about the fact that there should be a sinking, and this sorovikin seems to be pushing ukraine to this spoke about this and that they will not be considered victims, they really want everything to be destroyed here in kherson, well, absolutely, we understand perfectly well, they are in fact, this, this, everything must be perceived in a mirror, that is, what he is talking about is the

harsh end of possible plans of russia in relation to kherson in relation to the occupied territories there and of course then to blame ukraine for this, we understand it, it has already become such a tradition among them, but what is worth paying attention to, it seems to me, why suddenly suroviken mentions the kakhov hpp, well, it was not in the information space i can hear e neither in ukrainian nor in russian, from the point of view of any hostilities, provocations there, or escalation, it was not the only thing that sounded in the context of the crimean water, and here he is also talking about the fact that it seems that the ukrainian troops are going to blow it up and in me there are simply certain fears that russia can prepare and plan some kind of terrorist act there, because it is russia that now controls the hydroelectric power plant, they occupy the territory there, and they can plant

some kind of explosives and so on, this is not true you just have to blow up the floodgates, you have to understand, that is, they can take any measures of this nature, we know who our enemy is, we know what kind of provocations and what they did before and what terrible crimes and terrorist attacks, uh, they tried to commit or teach of course, the risks of shelling of the local population or the city of kherson itself or the kakhovka hydroelectric power station. maybe it was not detonated there, but its shelling is also because of the accusations of ukraine . i think that this is all that is present, all the more. please note that for any success of the ukrainian troops when er, our defenders are liberating our territories and heroically repulsing the enemy. russia is responding insidiously and cynically by attacking the

civilian infrastructure in various cities in various regions. well, this is happening. therefore, it is their handwriting to take revenge on the civilian population and, of course, some scenarios unfortunately, such terrible provocations cannot be ruled out here either. well, it must be said that today, as i already said , there was a massive rocket attack, again on the territory of ukraine - this is already the third or fourth the last 9 days on the 10th would be 17 on the 18th on the 19th, well, that is, every day they fire at the critical infrastructure of ukraine, every day they use iranian kamikaze drones, every day they shoot strategic bombers and fire at our territory, and it is clear that in this situation, it is very important how the world reacts to this, but according to your opinion, is the world's response sufficient to the

shelling of infrastructure by the russian occupiers, because uh, all conflicts, practically all conflicts that take place in the world, they are not lead to the fact that well, there is the same pakistan and india that they destroy each other's power plants or er deprive each other of water or er simply take and destroy hospitals er that is russia is now demonstrating the highest level of terrorism if such a concept can be introduced but is the reaction of the world enough to stop them, because winter is ahead , they have already destroyed 30% of the energy complex of ukraine. and what do you know next? i think that, in my opinion, there is a reaction. but i consider it insufficient in the sense that the best now the reaction is for us. i think that these are two positions.

apparently this is the first er-er means of anti-missile anti-aircraft defense in larger quantities , obviously . ballistic missiles, this also poses additional challenges and threats for us, will they supply them? i think that it is probably not worth doubting against the background of the fact that, after all, the shaheds are supplying them. i think that they will also supply missiles. therefore we face new challenges and, accordingly , additional ones, and accordingly, we need more means, and the second thing is that i think we will finally find the bodies through which iran, bypassing sanctions, can produce such weapons, and finally hit them quite painfully with sanctions in order to cover up these mechanisms by

which they get components for the production of the same e-shakeds or for the production of those missiles that they plan to supply to russia, this seems to me to be two operational needs now, the rest of the provision of weapons and financial assistance is on the agenda remains operational - it's just the pro and air defense systems. i think it's obvious. thank you, mr. oleksandr, for being included in our broadcast. it was oleksandr musienko , the director of the center for military and legal research. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks on youtube and in facebook for those who are now watching us live on social networks, please like this video, subscribe to our resources on social networks. and on our youtube channel , there is a new button called sponsor you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel, help develop our youtube channel, you go

occupation administration of the kherson region said today that all the heads of the so-called heads of the region are moving to the left bank of the dnieper and the entrance to the region is closed for seven days. he is doing both syrovyki and the balance that the ukrainian army is already approaching kherson and over the next seven days, as the balance says, decisive actions will take place on the southern front, and probably serhiy, i am quite skeptical about any synchronized statements of the doulaiters there. i mean the territories of the kherson region , according to the same general surovikin, because it is obvious that the situation with regard to military operations will be decided directly on the battlefield, whether the ukrainian defense forces will have a sufficient number of forces and resources in order to to continue the contour offensive means that it will

continue until the liberation of the entire territory of our country, if there are certain restrictions, then the corresponding contour offensive will slow down to a certain extent , the more we have to take into account the following two very important factors: firstly, recently, the russians have more or less established the supply of weapons, ammunition for these weapons due to e.e., even damage to bridge crossings over the dnieper in the lower reaches. this is about antonov's car, not a bridge, and about a place in the area of ​​the novaya kakhovka dam. tim more often than not, they are the same old pontoon crossings that are created in different sections of the dnipro river in order to mislead the ukrainian army in order to have the opportunity to move weapons and ammunition unhindered for the grouping of the russian occupation troops, respectively, the troops operating on the right bank of the dnipro in turn, as part of the forced evacuation of the civilian population and if they live on

the right bank of the dnieper, they create a very serious problem for ukrainian artillery and operators of mlrs of the himax class, because if these transitions will be used by civilian personnel, civilian residents, then this creates an impossible combat operation in ukrainian money, because if between the military vehicles of the russian occupiers , there will be uh, who will move uh, who with civilian personnel, we have no opportunity to use weapons because it was to expose the civilians of the kherson region to mortal danger, who are carrying out the same evacuation plan, and actually, recalling , falling, for example, in may of 1944, i remember the deportation by er and monetary soviet union er

cyril defense forces to liberate kherson from the russian occupiers. i am quite skeptical about this information, because it is absolutely obvious that the russians have more than enough resources on the right bank of the dnieper, and we remember that the russian paratroopers who are considered to be the most prepared in metallurgical soldiers, because there are a large number of tank units of the fronts of the russian occupation army and if all these units are properly provided with the main components of military logistics, then they can fight for quite a long time as deterrents of the ukrainian counteroffensive by the way, the head of the kherson regional military administration yaroslav yanushevich called on the people of kherson to ignore the demands of the russians, in particular about the so-called evacuation to the left bank of the dnieper and to the regions of russia they want to take our people hostage and

use them, the higher ones cannot allow the empire of evil to hide behind you, your parents and children, it must be said that the occupation administration is planning to evacuate 50-60,000 residents of the city via text messages warning that the armed forces of ukraine will allegedly fire at residential quarters at the same time, the head of the mykolaiv regional military administration, vitaly kim , informed about the alleged provocations that the pantos themselves are preparing, he suggests that russia will attack kherson, we will hear from kim about how to smoke kherson, kherson will be bombarded by kherson eh well, he knows russian tactics and i also know that they are digging fortifications there in the chuprynka area, under-barreled artillery just in time to hit kherson, the feeling of something russian is getting ready to hit

kherson unfortunately, here it is this is the position of mr. kim, colonel, today, the council of the russian federation considered the issue of martial law, the decree on the introduction of martial law in the temporarily occupied regions of ukraine was introduced, or at least in quotation marks , vladimir putin introduced it, what do you think ? will this status of martial law in these regions give to putin and what consequences will this have for ukraine, especially on the one hand, one can be surprised. how is it that martial law has been imposed on the territory of zaporozhye, kherson oblasts or donetsk and luhansk oblasts, although we all well remember that martial law itself was imposed by the decision of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, and on the other hand, i understand that putin in this way gives the opportunity to local walkers, representatives of the

occupation authorities, to act and acquire some of their own mind in order to implement the same tasks regarding the strengthening of the defense capabilities of the russian company in the territory of these four regions of our country to force and how to force some actions there of the peaceful inhabitants of our country who live in the temporarily occupied territories and the occupiers have now an absolutely official exercise confiscate the property of the automobile equipment of another other thing, again, the russian occupier from now on can absolutely officially carry out the forced evacuation and, in fact, the deportation of the inhabitants of our the countries that are in the temporarily occupied territories, that is, the russian leader created the prerequisites for the commission of another war crime, and

in some way the situation will continue to develop. once again, i must remind you that the key factor that affects the hand of the ukrainian forces, and in addition to the motivation of preparedness, is the same factor of security and see volumes will provide low-level technical assistance from our western partners directly depends on the power and pace of advancement of the ukrainian village within the framework of their contour entry even before the ukrainian counteroffensive and our plans to exit at the border in 1991. putin said that they will use all means to protect the territory of the russian federation now, what does this mean? putin, as always, is raising the stakes , talking about the fact that he is ready to use the entire range of weapons that are on

weapons of his russian army but why am i surprised that since february 24, the russian government has used on the border three and a half thousand missiles aimed at objects throughout the territory of our country, and often the same missiles flew at civilian objects that nothing to do with lunch. military infrastructures have nothing to do with defense forces at all, and lately the tactics of russian wars of occupation have changed to some extent. they began to attack energy infrastructure facilities of the type generating companies and facilities, thus actually leading to the destruction of the stable system that provides warm water and light to the homes of ukrainians. in fact, now putin and his army are making such a statement in relation to ukraine to the ukrainian people, so i think that here and now it should be appropriate and the assessment of the world community of these criminal actions of putin as the head of the kremlin does correspond to the entire russian army, and on the other hand

, this is the active communication of our diplomats against the background of these terrible actions on the part of the russian federation we have to literally demand from our western partners an increase in the supply of weapons, including weapons that will cover the sky over ukraine , there is also talk of anti-leash systems for defense and anti-missile defense systems, we heard recently the statements of the representative of the office of mr. nata, the next mega, who declares that in the near future, ukraine will receive a certain amount of the same equipment, the equipment that will allow us to block the signal of the shahid uav, which is currently being actively used by the russian army, but it is not enough, and it is absolutely obvious that the system of anti-missile defense is now over. it is important that he receives it in time so that with this process , the transfer process of the anti-missile defense system will be delayed. especially since we know that our western partners have the most outdated samples. but nevertheless

, they are working samples of anti-missile e weapons are today the verkhovna rada of ukraine, colonel, condemned the islamic republic of iran's support for the armed aggression of the russian federation against ukraine, we know that for the past few weeks we have been suffering from drone attacks that were delivered from iran to the russian federation yesterday, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, e.e. , turned to president zelensky with a request, or should we say with a proposal, to break diplomatic relations with iran, at the same time, the armed forces of ukraine have already studied iranian drones 100%, as the spokesman of the air command stated of the armed forces of ukraine, yuriy ignat, he says that the ukrainian military has already studied how these iranian kamikaze 136 drones are arranged, and obviously there will be

some definite conclusions as to how to fight against these drones at the same time, nato is talking about what it will help ukraine with systems that will allow to fight against seven drones, well actually these drones and their supply, about the fact that they can come to russia, the ukrainian side has known for a long time whether there were any systems or whether there were any solutions er, earlier, er , they were developed which could not lead to such losses, for example, in the energy complex, but they couldn't do something in time, of course , we have to remember what it is, the same as if there were kamikaze drones in russian classification geranium two or fact - it's a chess player 136 it's a kind of not very expensive substitute for cruise missiles

because considering their small size they are 3 m in relation to the spread of the wings somewhere up to 2 m they carry explosives and the composition is somewhere around 50 kg, the explosion causes very serious substantial destruction. of course, they are an order of magnitude less than, for example, the combat part of the x-22 class missile, where the combat part due to the component is equal to 950 kg . their not too high price is such an option available, we know that in a fairly short period of time, more than 30 days, russia used the same kamikaze drones for more than two hundred, that is, quite active use of this dangerous weapon

. this weapon is dangerous and it is dangerous precisely because of its massiveness, it is more rational to use missiles against a missile complex that costs a lot of money against drones that cost several orders of magnitude lower but the use of other methods, in particular the use of small arms anti-aircraft e-e appropriate devices such as this and installations allows to some extent to preserve the same expensive and sufficiently effective missiles for more powerful and more valuable targets, which i do not think in the near future the russians will begin to use for launching missile strikes on the territory of our country, but not only missile and missile bomb attacks, it is clear that after the russians now understand that we have rather limited capabilities in terms of the air defense system, they will again will begin to use the aviation itself, as we observed in the course of march of this year, and that is why it is important for the ukrainian

general staff to find more acceptable conditions for the defense forces of ukraine and more acceptable opportunities for the destruction of the same drones, and it is impossible to generate them completely, because the consequences of a recent flight over one of the residential buildings in the center of kyiv, in fact, proved that such a weapon cannot be neglected, and in general, not only the residents, but what is our country in general under any circumstances you can't ignore the air alarm signal, because what er sends our sky is the russian occupation army. it always brings death and destruction. we are talking about what is

happening in the south of ukraine at the same time. says that the de-occupation of luhansk region is not so fast now, as it was planned and it was in kharkiv region, however, it was in our region that all those military men who fled from kharkiv region gathered, at the same time he says hey, come to luhansk region , mobilized prisoners, a lot of equipment and anti-aircraft defense how you are currently assessing the situation on the eastern front of ukraine, the situation on the eastern front of the russian-ukrainian war is over obvious that putin's army is frightened by the fact that the ukrainian defense forces will continue their rather rapid counteroffensive here in general, you will be able to liberate all of the entire territory of the luhansk region, including luhansk, that is why the soldiers who were brought

to the front as part of the partial mobilization were immediately sent to the front , or a few of those soldiers have already turned into good russians, that is, in fact, 200 or so have fled from the front line, but interfering with a large mass of similarly mobilized men who were sent to the front to strengthen the combat capabilities of the remnants of the russian army, which until then was nipping at the heels of the territory of the kharkiv region, nevertheless russia we managed to establish a kind of defense on the borders in the area of ​​the settlement of svatovo and also a little further south. not the borders of the settlements, but the sichan border. that is, there are now battles, battles of a local level and significance. but nevertheless, they are fierce russians actively use artillery in order to to stop the counteroffensive of the ukrainian defense forces, they send not one more, in fact, to both sides, as well as mobilized such-and-such chmobikes, partially mobilized and they are there in large

quantities, daily reports from the ukrainian of the general staff shows that despite the insane losses not only in personnel, but also in artillery equipment in tanks, eh, nevertheless, the russians are trying to stop the ukrainian counteroffensive, so the battles continue, and i remind you again and again that it is absolutely obvious, as far as i am concerned, that the activity of the advancement of ukrainian forces defense directly depends on the same supplies of weapons and ammunition for these weapons, because it is extremely difficult for golovach to liberate ukrainian land, and putin's statement that he will be brought to the ranks of the russian army as part of a partial mobilization 300, not for 300,000 people, this is all a lie, it is absolutely obvious that these soldiers will be several orders of magnitude more, according to different estimates, later i think we will find out the real numbers, there are numbers in relation to the number of motorized russian likes, but in any case, a multiple increase in the number of soldiers of the russian occupiers not only in the eastern arena,

the southern class of the russian-ukrainian front shows that those on which they are sent even without serious training without carrying out combat coordination in those units where they they are carrying out a combat mission in order to, well, actually poke holes in the russian defense because there is no other way to contain the ukrainian counteroffensive in the russian country . while he is in charge of russia's operation or war in ukraine. what can you say? because what i heard is all these theses about some played -out groups of ukrainian nationalists. the russian general, and regarding the hostilities, how would you characterize him as a leader and the army under

his leadership in ukraine ? less, let's assume that general soloveykin gave the key theses answers to the key questions that are currently troubling russian society. it is obvious that the combat experience and knowledge of the same general whom i now see in the field in the window is quite serious drawings of his skill in managing his own subordinate units as part of the operation to block and attempt to occupy kyiv, this happened during february and march of this year, we saw how many pieces of equipment were fired by ukrainian guns, as well as the troops that were subordinated to this general

. how many of them covered with heels and how many forever remained in the land of kyiv, it's absolutely obvious that he didn't play very well, the attempt to manage a very large number of synthosaurs led to crazy losses but nevertheless, he is not among the biggest favorites. let's say that putin is trusted to a certain extent. i think that he will work in such a way. the kremlin will raise a german out of the water, which is not the end. to the same result that the head of the ukrainian city, general bohdanov, and many well-known military experts, in particular, general ben hodge with his former command, mr. colonel, we must put an end to our conversation on this optimistic note, we will end our conversation. it was vladyslav seleznyov

, a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine. it was verda's program about her. serhii rudenko . tomorrow we will meet on the air at 5:10 p.m. diplomat volodymyr yelchenko will be our guest. we will talk . about the world, about the world's reaction to the events in ukraine, and about what actually awaits the world of ukraine , that's all. thank you, goodbye. russian president vladimir putin announced martial law on captured ukrainian territories, this happened after the russian command called the situation in the kherson region tense and announced the so-called evacuation to the left bank of kherson, which means
