what is the situation there now in this region on the right bank of the kherson oblast, it gives advantages to the ukrainian side. despite the fact that there are various e-e data regarding the number of this contingent and data that they are now somehow saturated with e-e very highly professional personnel composed and motivated , in my opinion, this is partly a bluff and an attempt to put the ukrainian armed forces in a panic situation, to intimidate and force them to take some actions that would be beneficial to the ukrainian side, what is now it's not just that it's difficult there right now, it's that hot events are happening there and unfortunately, we are suffering

losses, but the losses of the enemy are orders of magnitude greater - this indicates that the ukrainian side controls the situation there and is actually the leader in the implementation of those combat measures that should ensure this is the result that the president is talking about and that the commanders of this operational zone are talking about. thank you very much, lieutenant general, for this extremely important analysis of the situation on our fronts. intelligence lieutenant general half past two come yes and we are conducting an information marathon yes people's deputy of ukraine roman kostenko secretary of the council committee on issues of national security defense and intelligence colonel of the armed forces of ukraine mr. roman welcome you welcome studio mr. colonel please tell us what uh happening in the

south, ukraine has gained an advantage in artillery. this is reported by the american institute for the study of war, is it really so, well, we are just getting lost. from week to week there are so different interpretations of events and so on, you as a direct source of information, please share, so to speak, an assessment of the situation without populism, ot look, i don’t know what they mean exactly, the advantage in artillery. if we count the number of barrels and the amount of ammunition that that ukraine has and that the russian federation has, of course the russian federation has an advantage in terms of quantity , they still have quite a lot of resources, another matter is what we did with the help of our artillery so that we were able to take the artillery initiative in some directions, er, this speaks of the quality of the weapons that our

partners gave us, that we clearly plan the fire system and er, we strike, we do not allow the enemy's logistics to approach, and it is for this that we can somewhere take the initiative in one or another direction and keep it but if we talk specifically about the superiority of the barrels and the number of weapons of shells, of course russia is a more resourceful country and they can still manufacture these shells. therefore, they have a problem only in logistics, which we will periodically disrupt there, but still they even more so that we understand this. that's why we only get it at the expense of professionalism and quality. well, the destruction of logistics, which does not allow the exact amount to be transferred here to impress our armed forces, yes, we agree with you, sir. colonel, on the other hand, we understand, well, it is extremely difficult to choose one or another yardstick, as we will, for example, compare one or another, i don’t know the russian artillery system and

himers, so how many units from those russian systems will go to himers? well, as they say god is with him, the situation with kherson is so because they say that it is as if we are advancing actively from the other side, the enemy there is making one or another false movements, that is, whether he is retreating or leading, i don’t even understand what is happening there, what is the situation as a person who knows this direction of the front very well, please share be kind, er, the enemy is firmly on the defensive , now there are some regroupings coming at them, there is information that they and some of their er, well, they have already repeatedly said that they have the best here, some of the best air-range troops are standing on in this direction, from the very beginning, they had the task of taking over the south with the support of the air forces, with the support of the tank units of the air force there. they remained in their base, there is also information that they transferred some of them from the zaporozhye direction a few months ago, when you remember there was a counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast, alex was expected in kherson oblast, this was also an

operation by the armed forces. that is why they now have a large number of troops here. they were there a few weeks ago when they took oleksandrivka there. davydov brid withdrew plannedly to other positions and it was not such a mass e-e mass escape as we saw in kharkiv oblast when e including the syrian general forced them to do it and here is what is happening in the following that we have taken serious turns here we are here they forced the ingulets river , created crossings, created a bridgehead, and now there is no such active counteroffensive because, i say once again, the troops are very serious, and now the armed forces of ukraine are entrenched on the already occupied borders. well, we see the enemy as digs in and prepares for defense but indeed, different information is coming in, including, and i repeat once again, that there is a replacement of the withdrawal of more effective units for the establishment of ship-mobilized units, this may

indicate that the enemy is going to activate in some other direction, but it can also be the deceptive manner of the enemy, well , that is, we must forget that the south is quite important for him and we must be careful both here and in the zaporizhzhia direction, i would be very careful and in particular, these two directions should now be under such with careful attention, it is not yet clear where the enemy will go on the offensive, but i have no doubt that he will go, because well, and the replacement of the commander of the same surovikin who was appointed, he was appointed not just so that he could withdraw troops somewhere, but to show what other results people of this type that when they become, let's say, they are given the opportunity to lead, and we don't know how it works in countries like the russian federation, that it has to show the result. i think missile strikes are not a result, anyone could do it and give a command for terrorist acts, but here

the result of the capture of the territory. i think they are waiting for him. therefore, we need to be, i think, our general staff, our chief and commander- in-chief are aware of all this, and we need the directions can be zaporizhia direction, yes zaporizhia can be zaporizhia well, it is possible that it could be kherson direction, we understand that we have troops here, but the south is also important for the russian federation, and getting a foothold upstream of the dnieper is also important for them, so we have to be careful. colonel, but as the classics said, in order to dig, you need to have something to dig. well, accordingly, the presence of a russian resource. yes, we understand that near kherson they keep quite selected units, yes, that is, personnel units, but now the transfer is taking place at the expense of freshly mobilized people with a rather low motivation, but

god with that motivation of their imperial, here the key issue is skills and the ability to work in harmony with high-quality equipment well, accordingly, what concerns the same zaporizhzhia direction they have something to fight for. russia, i say again, they have something to fight for, really, these are the troops. they are being replenished with additional resources, it is always bad, it is always people, what additional calculations of tanks, artillery, are there additional calculations of rocket aviation? they will shoot all the same. they will always shoot either in our direction or the sight is an additional resource, we must always take this into account and not think about the fact that they will come and we will easily defeat them there, it will really take some time it will take a few months until they become soldiers. while they are now used to shelling. until they understand more or less the system of how survival works

in this war. but we still have to understand that in russia the political component and the military component do not interact with each other. with one, this can be said in general about, first of all, the right-sided right-bank, it is more correct to say the dnieper, because from a military point of view, if you do not advance, holding it is practically pointless , and you need to either withdraw the troops or once again i say advance because they are suffering insane losses every day and you correctly said the selector of your troops which can be used in a more promising direction and the fact that they are there now is exactly the political decision of putin who has not yet made a decision even though for our information and uh, the information of our special services, if the military went and tried to convey that it is necessary to go from here, well,

or attack, well, there is no resource for this right now. well , therefore, it is political and answering your question. what , indeed, the troops are not prepared, but if there will be the political decision of putin or the military sorovikin, which i think is now exclusively under the orders of the critical leadership, then they can use this for some active actions, the consequences, but everything will be decided by the battle, but what decisions will be made, decisions can be made about the offensive with the forces and means that are now in the presence of mobilized old equipment, the absence of many killed and wounded, but i say once again that politics and the army do not interact, putin listens little to his military because he has lost authority on the whole world because we put up such a strong resistance and it needs victories. well, not the colonel, we will feed you. in due time - these are similar plans and scenarios. the soviet army during stalin's time was still experiencing. so when the stake issued certain directives

that the generals could not simply and now there is information about the resignation of lapin, the generals who led the central, not the central district, the central direction, yes, the center group, and accordingly, how in general it can affect the situation in any case, the appearance of severity actually means the arrival of new people of new clans and so on. what can we expect in this configuration? i think so. what were we talking about ? i think well, he was definitely changed after many conversations. i think there was more than one applicant for this, but he was chosen. i'm sorry, there's a maniac, and a person who is ready to neglect the lives of our soldiers and civilians

does not look at the lives of civilians. that's why from him it will be demanded from those people as well. i think that it will lead to some kind of result in the form of either the return of the territory that was liberated by us or the capture of new ones or the development in other directions. the second question is that there is no one who thinks that i am afraid that we we are ready for this. yes, we are ready for this, and our army is only gaining combat capabilities every day, because we previously held a mobilization with us. people are preparing with every day that russia needs to catch up with us now, but they will not be able to because there is no time in we can see them, but the question is whether they will try, he will really try to justify the belief in which the political leadership of the russian federation has issued, and for this he will use all available forces and means , i am sure. uh, to go on the attack in waves in order to

achieve uh, let's say, the political goals of their leaders, to throw meat at them, so they will be erased and a certain roman thank you for finding time for us this sunday for our viewers roman kostenko a people's deputy of ukraine, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine was with us. what are the conditions of the verkhovna rada on issues of national security, defense and development ? the products were intended for the residents of ethiopia, who are on the brink of starvation, but due to russia blocking the grain corridor, export is impossible. this was announced by the minister of infrastructure oleksandr kubrakov. let's discuss it with andriy klymenko, editor-in-chief of the bleksin news portal andriy, we congratulate you, this means that the grain corridor has been stopped, well, most likely

, the fact that the grain corridor has been blocked is happening because there are very different signals, very different interpretations, just a couple of minutes ago, the head of the united press nataliya humenyuk of the operational command center south reported that the enemy might have exploded in one way or another in the air defense system, in particular the same s300 missiles, which can have a backlash when they are used, so well, we understand that this is irony to a certain extent, because the hackers have already leaked the corresponding video that they got from russian propagandists, but to andrii, what happened before russia cut down or buried this grain corridor? well, first of all,

i am reasonably sure that yesterday's event in sevastopol eh they help is fundamentally important for the actual grain corridor why because - to 20-22 days, yes, per month, there are optimal 2-3 days . and another 18 days ago, that is, let's say there on the 10th, yes, on october 10-11, they started the same toys in the inspection area, which is located in front of the entrance to the channel the bosphorus from the black sea, and as of right

now, at this moment, there are 43 ships there, which have left the odesa oblast sports since 18 days ago, that is, they went to this situation and here the events of yesterday in sevastopol, they just used them as an excuse if there was no run, they were preparing excuses for the minister's work for two days so he got it from somewhere that he had such a phrase that 71 violations were detected during the implementation of the black sea grain initiative, and there is no violation on the website of the initiative, this is a site supported by the un and of course

there are no official violations. that is, they were looking for excuses to suspend, not to cancel, but to suspend. i emphasize the grain initiative so that someone starts to negotiate with them again. i would like to ask you. well, maybe not technical. what could have happened near you? well, yes, because there are many different versions. i don’t know. some underwater drones appear. about a month ago, we saw photos of a supposedly underwater drone that the russians captured somewhere in the black sea. and so on and so on. in general, everything is technically possible and what happened to them with the so -called old soviet underwater shelter for boats, which was supposed to serve as a

shelter for the russian or soviet naval forces in the case of as far as i understand the atomic war, it is easier to answer your last question than anything. the fact that there is work going on, a lava crane works in balaklava bay, it has nothing to do with that shelter in the rocks, balaclavas for eyeliners. they are building apartments there with as a club and expanding the embankment, as naval experts say, it is possible to use that shelter in the rocks of the 1960s for modern boats, it is impossible because the dimensions there are not the same dimensions . well, that is why this is the easiest question regarding you quoted there the press secretary of the southern

command or the southern direction. well, i think, in general, that now our official speakers are engaged in such sophisticated trolling regarding the events of the 29th, yesterday , october 29, in sevastopol. of course, the whole world perceives it, and the ukrainians perceive it, and in russia they perceive it as our operation. but i think that some details, some information has been confirmed. well, it will appear later. i think that it is not very far, because in our world, eh information is impossible to receive secrets there for more than a few days well, at most, only here are disciplined people, they will ask to be taught, they will not say anything from the other side

. well, you understand, er, i have come across underwater vehicles and on remote control in children's pools, you know, children can, so to speak, control some such inflatable underwater mini-torpedoes or some boats and submarines , that is, in general, it somehow functions . so on there, i don’t know what the strength of the east is, how long , so in terms of depth, what’s going on there, or in general, can they walk on the black sea? well, because there ’s mud there, and so on. well, actually, this technique did not start developing today and yesterday, eh, all these stories are more than 40 years old. well, i will tell you that 41 years ago i defended, eh, a diploma on a closed topic at the sevastopol construction engineering institute

, eh, on the topic of the control system, hmm, and we promise that the underwater vehicle will be the supervisor of the regime, that is, they are different they are er depending on the goals of course that they are most advanced at the moment in the countries above eh. although countries like there and the drone area that eh have long been used to attack , including american ships in the persian gulf , that is, they are very different from small to large eh and surface and submarines. i just think that now, when there is such a magnificent example of their effective use, that this direction in the entire naval forces of the world is receiving very, very powerful development, it is only possible. everything is possible, but you

understand the main problem that was at the end in the last century, it consisted in the fact that in order to control this device, and it is controlled, as a rule, it does not store and from some base ship from a base ship, it means that it is necessary to use radio waves, sea water. it has its own in these layers, too. there is a different degree of salt and depending on that, radio waves pass better or not at all or pass worse. i think that just now, over the years, this little problem has been solved and solved, and that's why, with the help of scotch tape and sterling can intensify the production of underwater drones, of course, i'm

absolutely joking andriy shevchenko, we have all these matters , the editor-in-chief of the black and news portal andriy klymenko joined our broadcasts, they talked about the blockade of ukrainian grain today, the grain corridor stopped, what does russia want? we are moving on. now we have a plot like this, let's see together about a man with a big heart. he broke through the blocked mariupol six times, was hit by airstrikes there and saw how the russians are destroying his hometown in spite of everything mykhailo puryshev has not lost his optimism and now continues to travel in the de-occupied cities, we are watching the plot, they were afraid to double on mushrooms, they lived

well, they all survived, they had their own potatoes, onions, oh, people left the de-occupied territories , they were in an information vacuum without civilization, without some did not know the connection, whether his relatives are alive, did they manage to leave the occupied territory , friends as such, i kiss you, i love you , as long as the cities are re-establishing connections and communications , it is the volunteers who are the first to connect the two worlds i i came to the family, they didn't want to leave, they didn't

know their relatives, and i'm bringing sterling with me. it 's because of the settlement, they negotiated it after some time, i already took them, and because some people simply kept them in this vacuum without communication, they took away the phones. yes, they couldn't communicate with their relatives. they didn't know. they are alive. they are not alive. if she agrees. a man had a nightclub there, but at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia, this establishment

turned into a bomb shelter, everything was fine , the aviation dropped bombs, thank god that it would be on himself , he took everything, the main fragments, well, the shock wave, i felt it, i still remember it it was warm, it was even cold, it was so warm, and this is a unit that i will remember. then we wouldn't talk to you now. the car that took on the shrapnel that flew towards the shelter was bought by mykhailo when he was taking his family out of the city . he returned to mariupol six times with

it, bringing a humanitarian woman there, and returning families with children 6 times he managed to cross russian roadblocks and during the seventh trip with the aim of picking up civilians and they stopped him for that, everything happened because many people sat for 30 days or 40. and i actually had 3 days. so they looked at my phone , searched my phone, but they didn’t just see what there is nothing on my phone except for old people and that’s why i let them go about my native mariupol. the optimistic and always smiling mykhailo speaks reluctantly. this is an open wound. the bombardment of the drama theater on the upper floors by the russians is especially cynical for him. these were mostly pregnant children on the upper floors.

these are the dressing rooms where the stars change their clothes, everything else is kept in these rooms on the floor just like that, there were nursing mothers with children, and i saw them all, i went to them, well, i went all the time to the drama theater and when i saw what was left of the drama theater, well, i, too, let's go there, i won't forget that in the drama theater, the same child to whom i carried the clot, which i remember, and they will forget, uh, it's because i'm this, i'm this already, but this you can't just take it and kill it, ah, i don't know what it is, what it should be, what should be the punishment for the pilot who did it, we won't forgive there in an hour, in two, we won't forget this pain, but people

lost their children, the city will be rebuilt, we will build homes, but mothers i will not return with my son, no matter what i wanted this pain will always be like this , the russians have warned the man that the next trip to mariupol will be the last on march 28. mykhailo saw his hometown for the last time. currently, the red bus continues to travel to the occupied cities of ukraine. to bring humanitarian aid, to evacuate a family with 10 children without problems, a woman approaches me, she says, you can. i mean, where are you sitting? i have a cargo bus, but i don't have a bus. well, i took the children out. look in the fields, i understand, and then she already

tells me how it all happened . came up to me, you know, that's how god arranged everything like that, that's a random meeting. yes, it's simple, it's just that i was standing there, i came up, i'm talking, i'm talking to you, i'll come. she said this, this was zaka in a sharovkoy, a village of some kind. i don't remember the exact village, let's go. they were taken to kyiv by them very much i asked for the price, and i asked for subscribers. and they also helped. i see how, uh, they always bring it there. everything else helps. well, it doesn’t leave people on the street and even rescue a dog that fell from a destroyed bridge in kharkiv oblast and from several meter high, although mykhailo admits that it was scary, i was afraid, but i did not
