need to rebuild ukraine. of course, reconstruction is connected with investments. investments are connected with countries with a normal economic climate, to what extent the european integration of ukraine can affect the level of investment in our country, what do you think ukraine should do to attract the interest of your entrepreneurs and to be a safe region for investment. thank you very much for this question . i think that in the long term, we will be able to do business with ukraine, we will be able to improve trade relations with your country, we are discussing the creation of a special office for this in taiwan, in fact, we already have a trade representative, now he temporarily lives in poland but vodka is going to return to kyiv and so will vodka

than in previous days, only two rockets were fired, the stocks are running out, moreover, the effectiveness of these strikes is limited, at the same time, russia identified what the institute for the study of war calls an information operation regarding the accusation of ukraine in the preparation of the explosion of a dirty bomb, yes , the experts of the institute they call new calls by russian generals to western military departments and a briefing to the ministry of defense of russia on the same topic as well. we have information that the investigators for insider bellington bellington and the state spy learned about a secret unit in the main accounting center of the military forces of the russian federation and identified 30 military engineers who guided missiles at civilian objects of ukraine. the commander of the missile guidance unit is colonel ihor bagnyuk. we will

learn and get to know this investigation in more detail in order to understand who is involved in missile terrorism of the russian federation well, for now we continue to collect operational information in particular, let's talk about the situation in the east serhii cherevaty, the spokesman for the eastern group of troops, contact us p serhii, we congratulate you glory to ukraine good morning once again here is the latest information from the east that the armed forces of ukraine released karmazinivka meat, zharivka and nevsky, as well as novosadovo in luhansk oblast this is in donetsk region. what do you know about this process? what is the current situation in these settlements, please ? yes, it continues. the troop grouping is meter by meter from the free ukrainian land, population center after population center,

but under one condition, as the commander of the eastern group recently said, the ice has bent, colonel syrskyi, protect the personnel as much as possible, protect the soldiers as much as possible, therefore, every operation is thought out in detail, the staffs are really counting every step is our own forces and means, our re and only after that an operation is carried out, no frontal attacks, which are in the style of the russians, that is why the liberation of our donbas continues and the defense continues in the direction of bakhmutaivka, where bloody heavy battles continue, where the enemy is still trying to break through our defenses and to achieve at least some result directly on the battlefield , we are also using all types of barrel artillery , rocket systems of salvo fire, tanks, mono missiles and aviation, well, we will definitely talk and about bahmuts about avdiivka now i would like to detail the luhansk region svatov and the area of ​​flint rubizhnoye

with the release of the defense line with my brother , including with concrete such crowds special forces, well, this shows several things, first of all, how much they are afraid of our offensive, because the kharkiv operation defeated and lymanska later defeated this great russian special force from them and that they can only advance and always dictate their terms now it has changed and the president, including, said that now we are setting a program of actions on the battlefield and, accordingly, this is the second or well, that something is desacralizing their efforts that on the one hand they said that they annexed all these territories but why? inside these areas of yours, you build a powerful

line of defense, which you equate there with the line of the major. accordingly, we study it , our scouts, analysts, headquarters work, and i think that this will be taken into account in the examples of our actions, so that with minimal losses, when the time comes to serve it, well, the line by car by the way, it seems that she also finished history badly, i mean her defenders of this line, almost, well, sir, he forgave sergius, after all , he returned. of our tv channel, the situation around bakhmut is difficult, the enemy is trying to get to the outskirts of the city and gain a foothold, but he is unable to do so in this area, the enemy has an advantage in artillery, this affects the enemy's tactics of pushing, which was previously implemented in other areas of the front, and now in the past night in the direction of bakhmut please , what is happening this morning? yes, very, very intense fighting is going on there, uh, bakhmuti, populated

areas around him, uh, the enemy is making maximum efforts, serhiy said absolutely correctly that using as many as possible tank artillery striking from all types of fire and only our training, the coordination of the commanders' understanding of the correctness of decision -making by them allows us to get the situation there and not pass the enemy, therefore the situation there is really difficult . but i am sure that with the joint efforts of all our units we will be able to get well, in general, the other day there was, again, encouraging analytical information about the fact that, in the area of ​​bakhmut, the enemy was pushed back by 2 km, and it was said that in 48 hours, it would take two days

saying that the enemies managed to knock out those positions that he tried to win for months, in fact , one of the enterprises is also mentioned, as i understand it, in soledar. our task is because, well, sometimes it happens that the enemy is very close, but the maximum task, as we did before that in lysychansk and in severodonetsk, is to knock out the offensive potential of the enemy, to destroy as much of his equipment as possible and personnel that our units are doing there every day, so that only in time to prepare positions to prepare opportunities for more serious actions when for this we will have reserves of opportunities and we will calculate all

the consequences and be able to really inflict such a powerful blow to the enemy is certainly worth it, but the same. well, your namesake serhiy is burning, says that the general staff should add more forces and artillery to its own soledar in the morning . what can i tell you that the command of the eastern grouping of troops is trying to take into account the situation on every part of the front as much as possible and if there is an opportunity to attract reserves, including the artillery serhiy zurets, he appealed to the general staff accordingly, i think there will be some reaction, he is an authoritative military military expert i think he is getting an answer well, sir, on duty, once again, the institute for the study of war noted literally yesterday morning that the defense forces of ukraine seem to be resorting to counteroffensive actions on

the entire line of our eastern front has, of course, success. but at the same time, there are such situational things when the enemy still manages not to break in specific locations. is it possible to describe what is happening in the east of our country? counter the offensive is what they saw there , for example, in the kherson region or kharkiv region. is this a more subtle story? look, this is not what if, for example, the kharkiv and limansky apparatuses were classic, rather voluminous operations under the contract, now more positional battles are going on, and where the ukrainian the armed forces have the opportunity, they conduct counter-offensive actions, as was the case yesterday, in particular, after the liberation of four settlements, however, i emphasize once again that this is done with the maximum consideration of our capabilities at the moment, the

preservation of personnel, so when our headquarters is ready, when the reserves are selected, then they will be more massive offensive counteroffensive actions well, what do we know about the enemy's capabilities in more rear population centers, for them physical in the occupied territories, in particular, maybe in the regional in the centers of luhansk, donetsk, or nearby settlements , what are they currently concentrating the most on the mobilized, new, and mobilized forces, regular troops, or perhaps they are already betting to a greater extent on mercenaries, in particular the wagnerites, and so on. there is no great choice, and they have such a fusion they take everything they can because they urgently need to replenish their incredible losses, you see, in fact, 70,000 personnel were destroyed in 8

months, this is an incredible loss for recent history . i don't even know what it can be compared to. well, how about you do you understand? maybe the ussr lost 15,000 in afghanistan in 10 years, so it is clear that they need to be replenished. and they are trying to do it with all channels and are mobilized . the army they are already dying and going back and accordingly they are also trying to recruit those who are serving their sentences here, including law enforcement officers serving their sentences, their units and all other methods before that, through other channels they raked out everything that was in the lpr dpr from those who could be drafted even before that, they also tried to

create these battalions in the regions and different regions of russia, there are such big losses. combat-capable and could actually carry out serious offensive actions , and a little bit about the fact that this contingent has information that the russian federation received bulletproof vests and helmets from the iranian company mylat of belgorodskaya oblast, they are already keeping all this good in order to clothe all of those mobilized, in particular in the east of our country, as in general with the occupier, with the provision of basic things. considering the fact that in the 40s there was no great

mobilization, this became a huge challenge for them, and we were given a few weeks ago to look for an opportunity to purchase ammunition on foreign markets before taking everything that is possible in belarus in the same well there is a small volume and this is precisely the evidence that iranian equipment is arriving, it confirms that they have a large deficit and in fact they did not prepare for the fact that they will have hundreds of people, hundreds of thousands, i apologize to the people in short term, i change clothes, train, er, give normal weapons and ammunition, er, so this is it, you, yes, they go even to caesarian section, er, this is iranian equipment , we still do not fully know its quality, but i am sure that at the very least world markets ya i didn’t hear any great positive reviews that it was so much sought after and it was a priority somewhere. thank you serhii cherevaty, spokesman for

the eastern group of forces. express, if you don’t have it yet, you already have it, mr. serhiy, we welcome you, let’s get zelensky’s equipment from zelensk and let’s start. the day before, the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine captured almost the entire iranian drone shakhit 131 is a younger brother, it is called shaket 136 because of it. kamikaze and the russians attacked it. that geranium is two, and this geranium is one. it is the 28th, and the mechanized brigade did it, and you can already watch the video of this drone on the internet. russia by iranian drones . as far as we have convincing evidence that these are

iranian weapons, khrystyna asked the spokesperson of the eastern command also about the provision of bulletproof vests and helmets. lethal weapons, but martyrs are definitely lethal, we already talked about today that the minister of foreign affairs said that it seems early that we can create a joint group and conduct an investigation that it is not us and we are not there. as far as we have indisputable evidence that it is an iranian weapon of iranian production please , let's start with the fact that the minister of foreign affairs kuleba said a couple of days ago that we have several bags of evidence related to iranian drones, this is a significant number of free complexes that were shot down by ukrainians air forces, and this is actually the secret of the overcoat, that it is directly iranian drones, and i think that this reaction of the ministry of foreign affairs of iran, for example,

indicates that there is already an understanding that it is not possible, obvious facts . downed ukrainian detail, do you remember somewhere early and still we have not been able to agree on the results of this case in the morning so that in any case the appearance of early drones is a proven fact and the effectiveness of our air defense just minimizes the consequences of the use of these strike complexes, the head of guru bogdanov said in an interview yesterday that more than 22 of the first batch, which was supposed to be 300 units, had already been shot down, and now another batch is expected, but because of this, i am talking about the fact that they are produced quite slowly, and this is exactly what it says about the fact that the

effective overthrow of these thrones actually deprives the russians of another means of influencing ukraine with the use of these economical munitions, but not only drones are supplied by iran, intelligence reports. and also about iranian ballistic missiles that have already arrived in russia, which are called zutfikars and fatehs, maybe i made a mistake in the name, correct me , what are these missiles going to be used for, well, obviously, for strikes on which targets, how ready is the air defense and what will this change on the battlefield, the use of similar ballistic missiles of iranian production, please, well, this indicates depletion of stocks in the russian federation's own automatic weapons, which we have repeatedly talked about, these new missiles of iranian production, there are two types of missiles with a declared range of 300 km 800 km these are actually ballistic missiles, which are actually similar in terms of parameters to the ballistic missile from the

eskand, this will put additional burdens on our air defense, the main risk is that this is actually a missile that flies at a speed of more than 3,000 meters per second that is, it is enough, just like ballistic missiles from the candidates, the missiles are fast enough to make it difficult to intercept them by air defense means . it will be a little later, but in any case. this is so far the only real way to fight against political missiles. and from the point of view of influence on the fact that this is the same territory with the martyrs, the first is such an emotional feeling that the enemy is about to appear there on weapons, then we see that

countermeasures are being developed and the nation itself is not changing in any way, i think that the enemy will still try to use these missiles for attacks on critical infrastructure, but we also do not know the actual effectiveness of these missiles on na- in fact, because they were tested and worked in syria, there are different estimates . so, let's not exaggerate the threat, but in principle, do not downplay it. well, you noted that in the long run, patriots can be our salvation from this kind of missiles, but e- so far we are not talking about them, at the moment we are talking about increasing the number and sizes, the offshore company announced this yesterday, we already have one such installation, as the head of the cabinet of ministers denys shmyhal said, it saved many lives , in particular in the kyiv region. i noticed that one such installation can cover an entire population center and actually secure it. i do

n't know what the scale is. but at the same time, what about the countermeasures to such iranian missiles and those missiles that still remain in sufficient quantity in the russian federation, what will it be ? to use on our rears well, in fact, rizzte is one of the most modern examples of air defense and in the ukrainian army actually in europe, because it is really on novy, uh, the problem is that when we talk about uh, your air targets, that's why we share them there on aeropolistic and ballistic, that is, planes move in and when we talk about ballistic missiles, we have a limited number of complexes that can fight them, in particular, those complexes and the s300 and s300v complex also have in certain segments the ability to fight ballistic missiles and e-e iskander and the point so that in fact

we have means that allow us to destroy enemy missiles. and regarding the increase in the number of e-e complexes there are up to four and so on, then this step happened, which is connected with the strengthening of our air defense as a realistic six-and-a-half reaction of the european community to help ukraine, but we still need to press the americans and solve the issue of patriots that are stored in old versions at the bases of the american army, and in principle, this process should have been started a long time ago mr. serhiy , there is little time left after all. i would like to return to the issue of kherson oblast and the information and psychological operation conducted by the russian federation, thinking that we fools, when they will feed the language, we will take ushakov and e. suvorov with us, we are already ready to flee from kherson, we do not understand that, the

head of the main intelligence department also confirms this. and this defense well, at the same time, we understand that in a situation with a counteroffensive, the armed forces of ukraine will destroy and grind what is there , and what are the possibilities for replenishing their reserves, in particular, from the heavy weaponry, for example, we are constantly told that crossings across the dnipro are under fire control, but for example, a journalist from kherson, serhiy nikitenko, hints that they have such encrypted crossings, and in particular for military purposes, what do we know about it, how ready are we for this? well, in fact, there is none here nothing new, actually, the situation is with the reduction of the military potential of russia on the right bank is a constant process. that is, we are destroying the crossings that are being built, the pontoon crossings there, the basic crossings under the shadow of the antonov

of the bridge is a long, continuous process, and this is us, i remind you of the story there with the pools, uh, from one faucet , water flows out of another, and that's it now . the question is that, uh, the possibilities of blocking these faucets from our side should be greater, and this is actually is being done because now the russians are having problems with ammunition for the artillery, they are now trying to support their troops there or from the left bank , that is, this process is permanent and i am completely satisfied with our general staff that we will really grind them down. we will create conditions when o-o- defend kherson will be nothing to anyone and nothing, we just need to be patient and sometimes not to fall into the eyes of the traps that try to set a russian dog . serhiy, well, in conclusion, about bakhmut or bakhmut, soledar is right, very briefly. you wrote the day before that there is a lack of artillery, what is the situation ?

of the armed forces regarding the recapture of certain areas around bakhmut. and this is an extremely positive signal that the general staff of the armed forces are working in the right direction, but women are really the hottest point of our front and no one can give it away. not going to thank you guys for joining our channel thank you for the interesting information now a moment of silence 9:00 for all the dead military and civilians during this terrible war with the russian occupiers we will honor the waves
