former commanders, as well as our population, they divided us when the second russo-chechen war began. in fact, it was difficult and difficult to fight a fighter on the one hand, the population was tired of the first war, that is why there was a lack of resources, and moreover, we were declared islamic and chechen terrorists to the whole world, as today they are doing with the ukrainians, there are nazis from bandera, etc. they know how to hang such labels and this also had an effect, because we were not supported anywhere, they were afraid to support us, they were afraid of russia in order to lose them. congratulations today is november 18 avataria svoboda life my name is sashko shevchenko , we tell and analyze the main events of the day so

today in the program missile strikes as a force for negotiations left more than 10 million ukrainians without electricity says ukrainian president kremlin answers all this because of the reluctance of the ukrainian side to negotiate or will missile blackmail work on what russia will concentrate further, british intelligence believes that the russian army will try before deploying the forces withdrawn from the kherson region for reinforcements in the bakhmut direction, how will they help russian units have new trenches near the border with crimea and between the donetsk and luhansk regions. well , the scandal in the national olympic committee included two parliamentarians who worked in the now-banned opz. we are talking about grigory surkis and nestor shufrych. is there a mechanism for at least reputational punishment for such politicians ? we are saying all this further, the kremlin

has actually admitted that russia is hitting infrastructure facilities to force kyiv to negotiate, this follows from the statement of the spokesman of the president of russia, dmitry piskov, who was quoted by the russian publication interfax, according to him, i quote, the ukrainian side does not want to solve the problem and enter into negotiations, in his comments to media workers, piskov also clarified that the russian army allegedly strikes only those objects that have a direct or indirect relationship with the military potential of ukraine ukrainian the authorities previously stated that the transition to negotiations is possible only under the conditions of the withdrawal of russian troops from the borders of ukraine as of 1991, meanwhile, due to russian strikes on the energy infrastructure of ukraine in kyiv set a record for power outages according to the information of the energy resource supplier yasno on thursday, november 17, the system was limited to almost

52 megawatts, which is the largest indicator for all time . of the consequences of another missile attack against ukraine, emergency power outages again in addition to planned stabilization ones as of now, more than 10 million ukrainians are without electricity, most of them in vinnytsia oblast, odesa oblast, sumy oblast in kyiv we are doing everything to normalize the supply the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine responded to pyaskov's statement regarding the negotiations, they said that, quote , terrorists behave in the same way and kill innocents people to fulfill their demands, russia acts as a terrorist state, end of quote well, but what does the kremlin count on by inflicting blows on the ukrainian energy sector ?

good evening. greetings. the kremlin admitted that they are striking because kyiv does not go to negotiations. well, according to the repeated statements of the ukrainian authorities and also according to public opinion polls in ukraine, this tactic does not work. in your opinion, who are these strikes aimed at? an event that can somehow force kyiv to go to negotiations, i think, well, look, in this case, i do not see any changes in the behavior of the russian federation, if you look at russia's violation of the norms of international humanitarian law during these eight months of the war, in fact, we see that from the first days of the war, the objects of terrorist missile attacks were mainly objects of critical peaceful infrastructure, then we saw attacks on oil depots, which was also an element of this terrorist war of terrorist attacks, now they are trying to attack our objects objects of the power system

, power supply, gas supply, gas production, all these are elements of the war that putin chose, and now the whole world is already openly saying that putin's regime is a regime that at least sponsors terrorism we proposed to recognize russia as a tourism terrorism state in the first days of the war, then we turned to the parliaments and the international and they supported it, a chain reaction has already started. let's put it this way, russia is recognized as a terrorist state because you absolutely said they behave like ordinary terrorists. they try to blackmail and if their concessions no one is leaving, they are striking at the level of terrorist strikes, so that in this case, i think they want to provoke the discontent of citizens who are sitting without electricity as the president stated that 10 million people, that is actually 25% of all ukraine, were without electricity as a result of these

terrorist attacks, that is, the russians hope that the discontent of the people will force the authorities to make some concessions, but here they forget something else, about 90% of our citizens are ready to fight to defeat russia and we have what they don't have, we have this spirit of freedom, the spirit to liberate our country from the occupier, that's why we will survive these attacks. well, besides , i wouldn't exaggerate the potential of the russian federation on the one hand in continuation of terrorist attacks because, according to the central intelligence agency, those missiles that are capable of delivering more or less precise strikes, and for the impression that precisely the objects of the energy infrastructure require extremely precise strikes in order to disable precisely those objects that they want to disable they are already running out of resources impressions from one side from the other side i am convinced that we need to act in this case absolutely symmetrically and make them also sit without light and without heat i think that this will be an adequate answer

and the whole world supports us, mr. myoslavskyi, i will only note that i quoted the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs regarding the fact that russia behaves as a terrorist state. it was a quote from the statement of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. i mentioned that, in your opinion, ukraine should act symmetrically, you can do so here please give some details. and is there an ability in ukraine to carry out similar strikes on, as i understand it, certain not just infrastructural objects? and is n't there a threat, so to speak, of being accused again of violating customs? no, well look, in this case, we will launch a war against the terrorist state, we will hit its military facilities , i.e., facilities that have no military significance, we definitely did not hit. which produce means of impressing ukraine, so i think this is an absolutely legitimate military goal in

order for us to-, let's say, to stop some weapons manufacturing plant with which russia er-er strikes ukraine er, to our great regret those there are no means of impression that would allow us to strike at an operational depth there, or at a strategic tactical depth of more than 200-300 km, but i think we can give them an adequate answer. of the minister of ukraine denys shamogel that after the russian attacks almost half of ukraine's power systems were disabled. is ukraine capable or does ukraine have enough capacity to deal with the consequences? about the fact that the restoration work is being carried out, but if you look strategically and look at the fact that winter will soon begin, is there enough capacity in ukraine to

prevent a collapse, well, look here there are several components of this process, first of all, after the last terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure facilities in including the day before yesterday's rammstein, we see that our partners are ready and are already providing us with more anti-aircraft and anti- missile defense systems that are capable of leveling this threat by intercepting these cruise ballistic missiles with which they hit our our e-e infrastructure facilities on the one hand , on the other hand, we as the parliament adopted and continue to issue a number of decisions aimed at ensuring that ukraine receives the energy equipment that will allow us to restore our energy facilities with certain tax and customs benefits as soon as possible and the third aspect is that our western partners also understand the danger for ukraine, for the citizens of ukraine, for the civilian population, first of all, the citizens of ukraine who enter the winter under such threats

of the russian federation and continue to cause damage to critical infrastructure and they are also consulting their efforts in order to provide ukraine with technological equipment that can be used quickly to restore the losses caused by the aggressor and terrorist to our facilities. we still have on thursday , that is, yesterday, november 17, the russian army carried out a massive attack not only on the energy but also on the gas production infrastructure by a shareholder of the ukrgazva mining company in the east of ukraine this is reported in naftogaz, is there a threat that russia will continue such strikes not only on energy infrastructure, but also on gas cemeteries, and is there a threat, is there a threat that ukraine may be left without gas in the winter? infrastructure, but due to the fact that we were still able to conclude a sufficient amount of gas underground gas storages on the one hand, on the other hand ukraine

has a sufficiently extensive system of local and regional gas pipelines, so i think that ok, let's say for a long period of time, the gas supply system, well, it will be practical, well, we will not implement my task, and even for such massive missile strikes, therefore, i think that supply interruptions are possible, but they will be quickly eliminated. the worst-case scenario, please, very briefly, well, the worst-case scenario is when, let's say, as a result of such impressions, the heating systems of many multi-apartment buildings may fail and the battery may freeze, this will of course be the most a negative result or scenario, but we will try to avoid it, thank you very much for my contact, there was a people's deputy of ukraine from the servant of the people and the president's representative in the verkhovna rada , fedir vinislavskyi, first of all, heavy ukrainian artillery helps the infantry of the armed forces of ukraine to advance on

the svatov area, a criminal case about the peculiarities of shooting and the enemy's attempt to hit them with a battery, the fighters told radio svoboda, a report from the kharkiv region , enemy equipment located in the concentration area was spotted by unmanned aerial vehicles we have a task to destroy her dock, turn her to the right there in that direction, they became entrusted with the base, purchases are coming so that when the shot is fired, it does not bounce back and that’s it. she is ready for work for about a maximum of 2 minutes, the same way the barrel goes down, the coulter rises and she is ready to go quickly , the projectile and heavy how to load them here, how to do it, one projectile is about 110 kg, the cartridge

probably weighs a little less and our main task is counter- battery combat, the target is all detected with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles, that is, which we have in service. they detect the enemy or a new one in the firing position or in the areas of concentration , it is possible to fire on the target, that is, if we are immediately in the firing position we destroy the cannon itself there or the self-propelled cannon, depending on which one is on fire or

we shoot at the prohibition of action. that is, when they stop introducing fire and start hiding there with the help of uav operators, we guide them to our regional concentration points and there we already start shooting to destroy, that is, the destruction of all equipment and to the maximum of manpower, who did not hide from us, the barrels are very accurate, they say, i don’t know, but he says that it is from the ship’s cannon himself barrel how they give us the coordinates, we calculate and after that we finish the drone flies, then the coordinates are calculated for us how they give us, we can get there right away, we can earn, we can always be alone , weather conditions can interfere with work if it rains, we won't be able to work. because the drones won't fly and if the wind is strong, then what will the projectiles be? now the weather is bad. recently, we work less. when the weather is clear , you have the whole day. we can stand like this. we can shoot. we can

shoot. this system, i think it is the best that we have from art seriously yes why because it shoots accurately yes it has its shortcomings, but in some cases it beats even western european models and what exactly what exactly, well, that is, the range shooting accuracy engine v46 turbodiesel diesel can be used there with additives it is calculated how much the target speed is different it shows depends on the engine there according to ttx 50 or 55 km at one time we drove more than 60 on it such uh mud, you wo n't go fast, well, the car is not very easy 47 t during the defense was easier because they didn't have time to

dig in, that's why they shot. they are less now when we go on the offensive, they are more frequent. the quality is 150 caliber 20 mm for this because we get close, we usually go right away because it can save us from falling on us and from fragments, but for sure a hit is the whole calculation of the beach, so we either run for exposure or immediately fold up if we have time . we run away when he comes on fire we don't go back there anymore combat is looking for others they are already working we are on one we can work two sundays it happens that we worked one day they are already starting to pour in there our main task now is to suppress not and how

destroy and suppress all artillery systems that can work on our front edge, all their rszu that will hinder the movement of our infantry, we even help to hit tanks that shoot from closed firing positions, we create all the favorable conditions for the offensive for our infantry, our personnel learned very quickly, he and i even before the war, we were already ready for this and the unit was coordinated today, all targets were under the impression that russia will try to redeploy part of the forces withdrawn from kherson to strengthen the offensive near bakhmut says this in the report of the british intelligence. the russian federation continues to give priority to re-equipment, reorganization and defense preparation in most areas, according to intelligence data, russian units have built new trenches near the border with crimea and also near the siverskyi donets river between the donetsk and luhansk regions, some of these

places are located at a distance up to 60 km of the current front line, which indicates that russia is probably preparing in case of further major breakthroughs by ukrainian forces, meanwhile, in the general staff of the armed forces they report that the russian troops are conducting offensive operations in the bakhmut, avdiiv and novopavlov directions, but they are not having success. the ministry of defense of the russian federation reported the capture of the village of opytne, but in the conditions of war , we cannot quickly check the statements of the parties. however, what options do the russian army have at this stage of the war? we are in touch with the head of the center for military and legal research oleksandr musienko good evening good evening well, as i already mentioned, british intelligence says that now russian forces from the right bank of kherson oblast may transferred to the bakhmut direction and why can the russian army now have such a priority exactly on this part of the front they may or may not be transferred, we will see

in reality what i will happen the situation in which they can be transferred only if they can now er, to regroup, to be equipped with up to 18 equipment, then indeed, such a possibility is present today , ukrainian troops, after the retreat of the russians from the right bank, kherson oblast, are doing everything not to give to give them a break so as not to give the russian troops the opportunity to regroup and replenish their losses, because it was necessary to understand that these units were retreating from the right bank of the kherson region. they have losses of combat capacity ranging from 10 to 40% depending on the units. now they are trying to restore this combat capacity at the expense of mobilized first of all, and then we may switch to the bakhmut or

avdiiv directions, but there is one more feature and it is very important, why i am talking about the fact that the ukrainian the troops are not giving er now let's tell the russians to rest . this is because immediately after the departure of the russian troops er, our forces began to launch massive artillery strikes on the enemy forces up to the border with occupied crimea. the general staff of ukraine and the same other direction - this is the report of zaporozhye to the south towards melitopol, and there are also successes there, that is, today the ukrainian army is taking all measures to destroy the logistics of the russian troops in the south, and here it is very the important point is now you understand that the russians can of course redeploy their troops and try to carry out assault operations there when they have been conducting them for several months without success in the

bakhmut directions, but for this they need to remove a fairly large part of their group in the south . at the same time, ukraine too has the potential because those troops that participated in the counteroffensive operation on the right bank of the kherson region obviously do not make sense to keep them in such a large number as they are intended for a counteroffensive to receive now and therefore, by the decision of the military command and leadership, these troops can also be relocated to those places where the command decides . it is necessary to redeploy all the forces that were on the right bank, it can be done partially instead of russia in order to try to win some tactical victories there and to think ahead , it is necessary to redeploy most of those units

which were on the right bank, on the condition that they can and will have time to restore combat capability and remove additionally those units that are already in the zaporizhzhia direction. and at the same time, we have the potential to leave certain forces for the possibility of a counter-offensive in the same e-e direction in the zaporizhzhia south or on the direction of the crime of svatov - this is already by the decision of the military leadership. well, plus, the logic of the fact that russia can transfer troops to the east is quite readable, but there is another feature that became a conflict for in the past few days, you can see how the occupiers in the zaporizhzhia direction, in the occupied part of the zaporizhzhia region, are trying to strengthen themselves and how they are worried and how they are wary of what the ukrainian army can inflict on them, that is , they have the task of defending themselves, and here

a very simple analogy arises that we have already gone through the same approximate situation and the same dilemma faced the russian troops when they decided whether to defend in izyum and kupyansk or to transfer troops to the right bank as a result, they lost kherson oblast and defending themselves there, and kharkiv oblast, izyum, and the right bank of kherson oblast, mr. mesenko. i just want to clarify if there will really be a transfer of russian troops to donbas in half a day. and what could be the logic here ? are there troops there even for defense, so to speak, the flank of the russian federation will be exposed? well, they understood that this is what i am talking about, this is the dilemma and risks that are constantly in front of them, and instead , opportunities and prospects for us, for ukrainians the troops are always these white ones for them. we

appeared almost in time during the several months of the previous full-scale russian invasion, and they did the same thing, withdrawing part of their troops from the kharkiv region and transferring them to the kherson region, which in principle did not help either there or there, now they are probably they want to take a risk if they transfer to the east, and such a risk is caused by the fact that they want to achieve at least some tactical successes, uh, the russians, because against the background of the previous month, well, the previous autumn if we take when they lost kharkiv oblast and they lost kharkiv oblast now, the right bank of kherson oblast suffered quite a lot of defeats because of that. i think they consider donetsk oblast from the point of view of the prospects of where they can achieve. because there are some successes and it’s clear. i apologize. unfortunately, we don’t have much time for the rest. to ask, here is information from a publication from the non -american cnn channel that the usa is running out of some types of

weapons that were supplied to ukraine, it is in particular about manpads string javelins but also harm missiles and gameleres, is this a wake-up call for ukraine and what can be done to correct this situation literally for a minute, i think that i think that there is a way out of this situation, in part, it is already being done, that is, it is being ordered from the manufacturer's enterprise and from the defense cannery of the united states, additional missiles, additional well additional missiles, if we are talking about manpads, that is, it is being done at the moment, thank you very much, the head of the center for military legal research oleksandr musienko was in touch with us, the russian occupiers during the retreat from kherson, on the left bank of the dnieper, they blew up the television tower, destroying the locations where there were communication stations. what does all this look like now ? look at the

information. that's why it's so painful , of course, that the city is like that. it is pouring with blood and there are no words, it is very difficult. how many years

has it stood? how many years has it been placed? vomsiraet us will know and this is the main thing that nothing will happen to us anymore. we believe that they have ruined everything and just now there is no desire to look at the screen and get some information. lithuanians chose this name for a marine drone that they bought for ukraine for $250,000. not another drone in lithuania has already raised money. in just three days, all this is within the united twenty for fundraising platform, which is currently collecting the world's first fleet of marine drones.

drones have already been donated by companies from all over the world for a quarter of a billion hryvnias. lithuanian journalist andrew ostapines, who organized this collection in his country, told why the lithuanians chose such a name for the drone. we did not get tired of the war, how quickly we managed to close this collection because we know that the lithuanian people are very quickly closing collections for ukraine, as it was for the purchase of this first sea drone we used the money we collected a month ago on one day, that is, putin's birthday - it was a collection of money for volodya's gift, as we called it, and there we collected €360,000, and there were consultations from kyiv on what to spend this money on but when we heard president zelensky's call to raise

money for 100 drones for the drone army to protect the black sea, and that's russian ships. one such drone, but they immediately started collecting money and for the second one. when you and i are talking, i just checked the account. we took the money for the second drone. well, probably everyone here is telling me that maybe we will ask for the third one. well, we still need to think about it, but in principle, the second one is 250,000 for the second drone. $ we collected in 3.5 days and we always do when before a new collection we ask them what now how can we help now what can we help now what can we help now what is needed now drones and kamikazes that fly well let's help healthy comments by the way here is one of those kamikazes which the lithuanians placed in ukraine two days ago and

hit the oil base of the varian region, yes, we received confirmation of this, there was such an attack at night already in the territory of the russian federation, eh, that's very good, you can see that these and our things are working and i'm sure that our drones are also as it is now, two can go, there will be three, they will bring benefit for the common good for the general victory, interesting dreams, we had dreams of choosing this name for the drone, what is the message for russia, this name, which by itself carries such a call to peace yes, this is ps well, then more it is written in cyrillic, just a little bit, in two hours of voting, 15,000 votes were collected, all of this was accepted as we wanted it to be
