i just announced that we understand that this is not an easy process, but we have all the cards for this so that we use them. we used them because the pressure must be on russia. sanctions must be increased. we must stop the supply of energy resources from russia. the state has the means to collapse and explode and this wave, including our special services must work there and our intelligence must work and there must be our agency that must do everything to ensure that this state is overthrown once and for all because it today, russia alone wants to destroy us. we want to survive and there are no compromises, so if we stop fighting, it will stop fighting. i apologize to ukraine, it will not happen. if they stop , it will just be a war . new from

ukraine, olga palamaryuk works in the studio, the armed forces of ukraine liberated the city of snigurivka in the mykolaiv region, it was an important point of defense for the russian troops in the kherson direction, commander-in-chief zaluzhnik commented on the plans russia should leave kherson, the diagnosis will not be able to recover , what is left of the russian black sea fleet and whether there is a threat from the sea and britain is becoming a space state, the country plans to send missiles into orbit from its territory in a way that reminded many of the destroyed ukrainian

plane . an important point of defense for the russian troops in the kherson direction, the city was enlarged by a 200-year history that was occupied by russian troops on the banks of the ingul river at the end in march, this settlement is of strategic importance, the roads to kherson open from it, in order to prevent the pressing of the armed forces of ukraine, russian troops began to blow up bridges , in particular across the ingulets river, reports of the offensive of ukrainian troops on snow river began to appear on november 8, on the same day serhiy shoigu announced the order to withdraw from the right bank of the dnieper, and already this morning the head of the president's office posted an icon of a snipe bird on social networks , apparently hinting at the liberation of the city snigurivka and later, a video appeared from there, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valeryi zaluzhnik commented on russia's stated plans to leave kherson and the right-bank kherson region, he

stated that behind every so-called voluntary gesture of the enemy, there are colossal efforts of our troops , according to zaluzhnik, only in the previous day , the armed forces of ukraine released 12 villages of the region. in some directions, ukrainian troops advanced 7 km deep into the enemy's positions, more details with her , bbc correspondent james waterhouse, general zaluzhny was in a high mood, he linked the successes of ukraine in the kherson region with the miscalculations of the russian command, as well as with the destruction of key supply channels, so i think he has evidence to confirm this in the summer, when the exhausted ukrainians were forced to retreat. it was difficult to imagine conversations about the fact that the city kherson is about to return to the control of ukraine, but the hymers are supplying the united states, it seems that they played a key role in this. kherson is located on the west bank of the dnieper, where the russians deployed a powerful front

there are very few bridges against ukrainian settlements across the dnieper, and the ukrainians tried to damage them but not destroy them completely, well, this is the case with the antonov bridge, for example, in order to complicate the movement of heavy weapons and troops, the russians had to use temporary barge crossings to it took a long time, almost two months, where the ukrainians tried break through to the south they met stiff resistance but it seems the russians ultimately failed to get kherson and now we can see what we used to see in the north country when in september ukraine regained a significant part of the territory captured by the russians. we saw footage of ukrainian soldiers entering villages and raising ukrainian flags again. this definitely raised the morale of the troops and ukrainians and caused satisfaction in kyiv. but whether this reflects the true state of affairs in the advance in the south will be

known later, when the ukrainian troops consolidate and the russian troops finally move in another direction, and for now it is still far from calling kherson a liberated city. so how is the offensive of the ukrainian troops in the south let's talk about this with the military analyst, contact us , the director of the independent platform, no so, in poletics rysovych network, mykhailo samuyss, i welcome you to the broadcast of television, and in addition to the political, kherson had for the russian military strategy, what significance will it have for the military strategy of ukraine, first of all, it is necessary to understand that the kherson bridgehead was formed when it was precisely on the right bank of the dnieper when russia planned to capture mykolaiv and then odesa and actually unify with transnistria. that is, it was such a rather strategic idea of the plan. in fact, this is the cutting off of ukraine from the black

sea, which had both military-strategic and geopolitical significance, when russia was unable to do this, as a result, a situation arose when precisely the group on the right bank of the dnieper exhausted its offensive potential and not but could not provide defense in the principle of staying this group on the right bank of the dnieper had no military sense since july of this year, when ukraine received long-range high- precision instruments such as hymars and constantly kept under fire control and crossing and logistics somewhere with munitions and command posts since july of this year, this has already been of exceptional political importance for ukraine, now clearing the right bank of the dnieper means that we will fix the front along the dnieper and be able to shift the forces that we spent in order to clear the opposing eh grouped on the

right coast to other directions, for example, mariupol or melitopol, or together to these directions , how safe will the positions of the armed forces of ukraine be and how far will russia have opportunities for a counteroffensive, and will the dnipro become an opportunity for if the armed forces of ukraine decide to go further, and the armed forces of ukraine, i think they will not go to force the dnieper, it makes no sense now, because i will repeat myself once again. i think that in the future, the ukrainian armed forces will focus on cutting the land border from the territory of russia to crimea, this can be done through er, just by storming and attacking such places as melitopol and mariupol, in this connection, just fixing the front along the dnieper will have a very positive meaning for ukraine, precisely in the military plan, and the defeat in kherson is the last major event on the front

what happened before the onset of cold weather, the front freezes until spring, you can hear a lot about this from many people, and do you not rule out the next big events on the front in december and january, i don't think that the front will be frozen for ukraine, it makes no sense, of course russia would like to freeze it is doing everything possible for this, including holding backroom consultations and negotiations, sending signals about the possibility of starting such negotiations or consultations, and they are not in vain destroying the ukrainian energy supply infrastructure for in order to bring ukraine to these negotiations, but for the armed forces of ukraine, which are now gaining an advantage, including by fixing the front to the north along the dnipro river m. i think that now the ukrainian armed forces, on the contrary, will intensify their offensives both in the east and in the southeast - in the eastern direction. is there any possibility of negotiations now? i think that for ukraine

these negotiations do not make any sense at the moment , because russia is collapsing on the fronts, and for russia it is important for ukraine that negotiations are possible only from the position of complete de-occupation of the entire the territory of ukraine, payments of reparations, compensation, of course, punishment of war criminals by the catastrophe of russia since the collapse of the soviet union, this catastrophe is still virtual, it can turn into something real and unpredictable, you mean the liberation of kherson. i think that this will be the beginning of decisive events on the front, because e- i will emphasize once again that the fixation of the front along the dnieper will free up significant ukrainian forces that can be used to liberate, for example, the northern part of the luhansk region and now the beginning

operations in the direction of melitopol and mariupol. what will the next catastrophe mean for russia, and then there will be the liberation of crimea? and how much will the loss of kherson affect putin's rating and the mood in russian society? was a forced action , and moreover, it will only be positive, so i think that there is no need to hope for it, now the main events are carried out by the armed forces of ukraine, and those that putin's rating does not concern us at all. this was director of the independent platform new george network, mykhailo, thank you personally and i would like to remind you that on our website bbc.ua there is always up-to-date information

about the development of events. yes, you help more people to see this video, social network algorithms work so that the more you like and the more comments you write , the more users on the internet see it video yes you are helping to get access to objective news and ukraine, as we have already said many times, is still skeptical of the statements of the russian ministry of defense because it does not yet see signs of the withdrawal of troops, analysts say that control over the city will expand ukraine's opportunities retired australian army major general mikroen shared my vision from bbcday. i think the skepticism of ukrainians is fully justified, because we saw how the russians lied during the war. but in this particular case, the position of the russians is on the right on the banks of the dnieper was very vulnerable, in fact their forces there were weak and that is why they are

retreating, many have been waiting for this for a long time because it will allow the recently appointed russian general to consolidate his forces, strengthen his positions and restore some of his units that suffered a lot in the battles, my name is not if now the russians will intensify strategic attacks on ukrainian infrastructure, especially from the air and from the sea, they need this to demonstrate to their domestic audience that they have at least some success in ukraine and this is the picture they would like to show to the russians , so an increase in such attacks is quite likely , especially if russia manages to get even more iranian drones and ballistic missiles, but i think the ukrainians can celebrate their great success, they worked very hard for several months, struck at long distances , let them use -mars and air force to disrupt the logistics of the russians to reduce the number of

russian air attacks and neutralize their command posts and in close combat as in the north and in the west of the kherson region, ukrainian soldiers also acted very courageously, intelligently and precisely, returning the territories captured by the russians. the combination of these two, as well as the low motivation of the russians, led to the fact that they really lost the ability to get this territory. therefore, this is a very big victory for ukraine, the ukrainians have not yet won the war, but definitely won this battle. there was still a long way to go, the russians still have a large part of the ukrainian territory under their control and are not going to give it up, so the ukrainians will have to fight for it. so we it is necessary to continue to support them, we have a moral and humanitarian obligation to ukraine to help it defeat the russians as soon as possible so that

the ukrainians can restore their country that the russians have a chance to get kherson, they have been talking for several months, but the de-occupation of the south continues longer than some experts predicted, although representatives of the ukrainian authorities and were often asked not to hurry and be patient. despite this, the residents of kherson, who are waiting for the return of the ukrainian authorities to the authorities themselves, have accumulated a lot of questions about mood more bbc correspondent jeremy bone for ukraine it's a big event when the war started and the russians flew in they advanced very quickly and they entered kherson with almost no serious military resistance during the past week i spent a lot of time trying to contact people who are now there in the city idea what part some of them were very disappointed with the way the ukrainian authorities behaved, that is, they say that they were simply left to their own devices so that they did not receive support that the

local authorities and local officials simply left the city a few hours after the russians came or they were left alone and the russians just came, as one of the residents told me, for no reason whatsoever. said that many people felt that way in kherson, that they had already lost heart because the ukrainians talked about an offensive back in the summer, but it never materialized. of course, now they will be very happy because of this decision of the russians to leave. although there are people i talked to who said that they are worried about whether the russians are really going to carry it out because they also by and large do not believe a word that the russians say jeremy bowen is currently working in the south of ukraine and spent this week with the ukrainian military on the front lines and this is what he heard

there and saw the day before and during the day when the russians announced their intention to retreat, let's see, for several days now the ukrainian military who are on the approaches to kherson do not believe that the russians are going to retreat. we visited the mobile detachment between kherson and mykolaiv, the soldiers here say that they will not believe in the withdrawal of the russians until they see it. with their own eyes, they took us with them to the task during the attack on the russian position, here they are armed with soviet- era artillery and commercial chinese drones and a command car, a 15-year-old bmw brought from great britain, it seems that before it was used to transport children to school, but now it transports military personnel who defend their country, the armed forces say about

direct strikes on enemy positions on russian-controlled territories to the west of the dnieper are precisely the territories that the russians will have to leave. if they withdraw from kherson, the retreat from there could be a devastating defeat for russia. at first, the invasion in february remained the only regional center that they were able to capture in moscow, the commander of the russians troops in ukraine, general serhiy soroviken says that russia cannot properly provide its troops on the western bank of the dnieper, it is not easy, he decided, i understand that it is very difficult decision, but at the same time we will preserve the lives of our servicemen and, in general, the combat capability of the troop grouping, but ukraine warns to celebrate early. this week, we talked with the ukrainian military and people of kherson in order to

understand their mood. it is impossible to drive from here to kherson because the front line is further on and even if we passed the russians would not they allow journalists to work independently, so we have to try to understand what is happening in the city, which is actually cut off from the outside world, so to speak in mykolaiv, i met a ukrainian special forces officer who, according to him, leads the partisan forces in kherson, he did not want to show his face and, according to him, the goal of the partisans is not just to beat the occupiers, some ukrainians living in occupied kherson say that the city has changed with the spread of rumors about the retreat of the russians two weeks or more kherson is blocked there is no passage for civilians between the left and right bank as a result

of food and medicine cannot be delivered if this continues i do not know what people will eat and how will receive basic medical care , several videos about current life in kherson have appeared on the network, now the city uses both hryvnias and russian rubles, clocks are moscow time, the ukrainian military, whom we met this week on the front lines, are very confident, whatever moscow's intentions are for leaving from kherson they will still not be able to oppose ukrainian military operations and long-term support from nato, the military adds that until they enter kherson themselves, they must be on the lookout, it may be some kind of disinformation strategy or as they think the

russians are trying to trap them but the fact remains hit and run type of war here on the front line under kherson still ongoing retreat during hostilities requires proper military skills which the russian troops have not demonstrated since the beginning of the invasion so the question arises whether moscow will try to agree with ukraine on the safe exit of its soldiers from kherson. kherson puts an end to attempts to seize odessa according to many reports. this was in the kremlin's plans during for a long time until the end of the summer, until the successful counter-attacks of the armed forces of ukraine collapsed the russian front in the east and cut off their grouping on the right bank. well, we should also not forget about the successful actions of the ukrainian army in the black sea, now the black sea fleet's combat capability is less than 50%, this is how experts assess the reserves of the russians. therefore, they

are increasingly forced to hide their ships in bays rather than threaten ukraine with them. the bays themselves are also vulnerable to ukrainian strikes. what is the latest attack of ukrainian surface drones worth? to sevastopol, many ukrainian and international experts even rushed to declare that the russian black sea fleet is finished, it will not be able to recover from such a blow, and let's take a closer look at the situation at sea . in addition, there were reports of damage to amphibious vessels at the end of october drone attack on the base in sevastopol western experts called these events the greatest humiliation of russia kherson, of course, but how did the destruction of the ships affect the russian command? congratulations, what you

listed was the most painful defeat of the black sea fleet. during this military campaign, i would like to note that the main blow was still more moral and psychological, so the destruction of two flagships was actually e- the frigate moscow and the recent damage to the frigate admiral makarov are significant successes, but the russians still have about 11 cruise missile carriers in the black sea. but experts in particular, he communicated with the former deputy chief of staff of the military forces of ukraine, a captain of the first rank, gives mezhenkom e indicate that of these 11 carriers, only a small part , approximately three, four, maybe three ships can really strike, this is primarily the admiral and two missile boats to forget that

there are at least three russian submarines in the black sea, which can also attack ukrainian cities with rockets, so talk about a significant reduction in the combat capability of the black sea fleet unfortunately, it is not possible yet, but i will also note that the moral and psychological effect of the attacks on ukraine is extremely large. russia prepared for the war in ukraine for many years and entered it without exaggeration as the unconditional naval leader of the region , and now in the 9th month of the war, experts say that the black sea fleet is practically not combat-ready, you know, talked to experts about how russia was able to lose its fleet, well, experts are a bit perplexed, so to speak, by russia’s actions, because they were quite unprofessional military is wrong if you can cut it like that , for example, uh, it was redeployed - having redeployed most

of the ships in the bay of sevastopol, they were unable to ensure their safety in this bay, which led to the famous attack on the ions on october 29. it is a fairly common opinion of experts that if the attacks of ukrainian ships, planes, i don't know missiles continues. then russia will most likely take its most valuable ships even further to novorossiysk bay, this city in the krasnodar territory is almost 700 km from odessa, that is, it is very far to even protect something so that at least something remains in the black sea fleet for the time being. this is quite such a fantastic option, but everything is indicated that the development of events may not be like this. well, actually, with regard to ukraine, how does ukraine manage to defeat the enemy's naval forces, and in what way there is

only one recipe, unfortunately, we do not have parity in the number of ships, moreover, at the beginning of the war, we disabled our only flagship, the frigate hetman sahaidachny, with our own eyes, and then we lost kpi and some ships, however, to the naval forces they set themselves other tasks. they acted, so to speak, defiantly, inventively, creatively, first of all, they secured the coast of odeshchyna at the expense of the missile complexes, in particular, the same neptune, that is, they moved the danger away from the shores , and as we saw in the morning of october 29 on saturday , the enemy was also attacked by his own homes , i.e., the attack on the sevastopol base in sevastopol showed that ukraine can also carry out offensive declarations in the black sea, which, according to many experts and not only ukrainian foreign in fact, the leadership of the black sea

fleet, which now does not feel safe even in its naval base in sevastopol, that is, ukraine is acting quite creatively and, in fact, not having its own fleet, was able to make the opponent's fleet it suffered heavy losses and was disabled for quite a long time. thank you, my colleague, for the conversation. this was a correspondent. if you are interested in knowing more about this topic, come and read it, it is really worth your attention. and i will remind you once again. if you watch now on youtube subscribe to our channel like yes you are helping more people to see this video ukraine has started the construction of the second an-225 dream aircraft

this was announced by the acting general director of the enterprise antonov yevhen gavrilov, according to him, design work has already begun work work are being conducted in a secret place, the cost of construction is estimated at 500 million euros. maria will be provided with both new parts and parts of the plane that was damaged, i will remind you on february 27 due to air attack by russian troops on the gostomel airport near kyiv, the world's largest transport plane an-225 the dream burned down the security service of ukraine stated that the officials of the state enterprise antonov did not take all the necessary measures to preserve it and by the way, the dream was repeatedly proposed to be used to launch space rockets, it could to become one of its most promising projects, the plane itself was actually built to launch

the buran spacecraft into orbit and here it is many years later the ambitious plans of ukrainian designers were brought to life by the british billionaire richard branson's company virgin orbit is preparing for the first launch of a space rocket from aboard an aircraft thus, britain attempted the status of a space giant and a leader in delivering satellites into orbit bbc correspondent rebecca moral saw the final preparations for the historic event from this rocket much depends in a few weeks it will make its first flight from british soil and launch satellites into orbit with these marks the beginning turning the uk into a spaceflight center for the first mission is an airport in the south west of england turned into a spaceport we build most of the small satellites here in britain and every single one of them is instantly sent abroad for launch i think it is extremely important for us to develop here is our own capabilities for launching

rockets, this launch is different from others, instead of vertical takeoff from the ground, the rocket rises into the air on board a jet plane so that later disconnect at altitude this rocket is called launcher 1 and now the final preparations for its launch are underway, after it disconnects from the aircraft it will start its own engines and begin its journey into space , the launch will be at an altitude of 10.5 km so far virgin orbit, the company behind this rocket , launched from california, now the team has moved to each of them and equipped a new flight control center here. rocket and in our control room there are specialists in each of these fields. so they monitor the data, coordinate them among themselves, check them in order during the day. and if everything goes according to plan, we will be able

to launch rockets from here. the stage of final tests, however, before the mission starts, it still has to be approved by the authorities. plans not to everyone's liking but this flight will be the first and not the last several other spaceports around britain are also ready to join the space race and that's all we have time to talk about today more history search on our website bbc.ua and on our pages in social networks and turn on our program tomorrow exactly at 9:00 pm take care let's see how people live
