plans to carry out a nuclear attack on germany with the help of iskanders, and the german publication spiegel wrote about it. i think that this should also cause concern as one of the means of escalation, which is also happening. that is, this is one of the stages. weapons are definitely important. we need weapons today. about which the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, general zaluzhnitsa, spoke about, has freed our hands in many respects. i think this is the best way. well, in principle, there is simply no other way today except to support ukraine in winning back from prospects for development economic day of another method of deterrence elements oleksandr well, what about your personal assessment? after this meeting yesterday, we became closer to a full-scale invasion of belarus, a repeat of the russians from the territory of belarus, either in the direction of

kyiv or in the direction of koval, there in ukrainian volyn, did this threat decrease after of yesterday's meeting, because the analysts of the american institute of war studies, i'm sorry, said that probably putin, well, their conclusion is that putin did not manage to break lukashenka, what is your conclusion? i wouldn’t say that, in fact, we don’t know what they talked about after putin went to lukashenka’s residence and where they discussed certain points. we don’t know what they agreed on. came out. i think it is too early to draw conclusions. we will be able to say positively about this within a few weeks whether there is some kind of strike group being prepared from there and whether there will be an invasion or not here exclusively . by other means, emotional briefings

, etc., it is difficult to orientate on it. and as of today, at the current moment, what are the intelligence data about this, precisely about cultivation, for today, it is necessary to ask the intelligence about it, but i can say that if the intelligence data, i can say that as of today such the troops, which are russian, are not of a threatening nature. they come to belarus mainly for training and are then transferred to other directions, in particular in the east. also on the territory of russia, where they undergo appropriate training now russia does not use a large number of many units of mobilized a-a, it is clear that they are really trying to prepare some groups from them, where this group can be and where it will be concentrated, for now the question is open three possible directions belarus , a possible direction of the belgorod kursk region and a possible south a-a where it will be and plus

auxiliary directions, this is obviously the auxiliary east may be e or another, but somewhere in these directions, e-e, the grouping may be concentrated, so far it is difficult to say for sure . well, i think that in a month it will already be noticeable well, mr. oleksandr, let's now concentrate on the south. moreover, what happened to the average event is still unknown, the exact origin of which is unknown over chongari yesterday, according to the low audio- visual materials that are distributed on social networks , either a column of military equipment or individual elements of this column caught fire, and actually it was similar to a detonation locals or people who witnessed this incident comment on how ukrainians are already getting here and of course we do not know how this incident could have happened this yevgeny yerin, the head of the joint press center of the defense forces of the tauri direction, a

colonel, commented on this carefully with a smile on our air and called it a cotton on duty, nevertheless it is important to note that chongar is located in a sufficiently deep rear of the army of the russian federation in the occupied part of the kherson region from it to the position of the armed forces of ukraine on average in kherson is about 165 km, and the serpentine near boryslav is about 120 km, if we talk about the zaporizhia oblast, orikhove, then it is 190 km, we see that these are quite long distances, more often screws in general, there are any opportunities from the occupied crimea to pull up the occupied part of the kherson region to their capacity , it must be said that despite the fact that the ukrainian forces are doing everything to disrupt logistics and it is happening. here are such cases in our favor as on chingar e plus

there are strikes on e- it is a military object where the ukrainian weapons that are currently in service and in use can reach, but in principle they can reach deep rears on a regular basis, for example, by the zhanko where the occupied helm, a huge amount of russian weapons is currently located or already on the southern borders of the kherson region or the zaporizhzhia region, outside the range of the ukrainian weapons. operate there on the territory but of course that to the full extent unfortunately so far it was not possible to disrupt their logistics by 100%, but it was possible to disrupt the logistics so that the enemy would have problems with the possible creation of some new

strike groups there and intentions to create problems from there, i.e. with possible intentions to go on the offensive. because the further away their bodies are from the enemy, the more problems will arise with bringing all the necessary ammunition, shells and supplies to the front line, because these columns will be destroyed, and therefore there are problems with the creation of a group. but if we are talking about the construction of defenses and the transition to a blind defense, which is now, for example, observed more in the zaporizhzhia direction from the e-e russian enemy troops, to a certain extent , this is enough for them for the time being. ugh oleksandr regarding the tactics of mass attacks on ukraine with drones and rockets. to what extent has it changed or not? i am reading the latest information from the kyiv metro. this is very important for kyivites. this morning, december 20, due to sudden voltage drops, it is not working. the ground part of the

red branch of the metro from the arsenalna station to the lisova station, that is, the left bank remained cut off from e-e from supplies from transport connections with the right. well, also there is a threat that a part of the body may remain without heat, here in kyiv due to a difficult situation with electricity, 144 apartment buildings may remain without heat , mayor vitaliy klitschko also informs about everything regarding the tactics regarding the consequences of mr. oleksandr, your forecast and your assessment what happened the day before, in particular, yesterday morning, so i really want to say that if we use the example of the ukrainian capital, then yesterday we saw an official message from our e-e energeticians that literally yesterday in fact, 80% of kyiv did not have a normal electricity supply, only 20% had a

normal one. i am not talking about the difficult situation , which is even more difficult in the kyiv region, which is now extraordinary, which makes me personally only even more hostile to the enemy and out of a thirst for victory, but the situation is really complicated if look at the shelling today, the hit ratio of enemy drones and missiles is approximately 25-26%, that is, we have to say that unfortunately, our enemy has a certain success in hitting, literally if we look to the situation that exists in the same capital, if we have mentioned it, it is with great regret that we must say that including the city authorities, there is a hit in the capital by iranian drones, which also causes these problems that are already arising with transport, arising from electricity supply and so on, that is, they have some success, and here it is necessary to understand that what is

most risky is what i would highlight in these days in attacks and iranian weapons, if, for example, before i personally heard more notes that work in kyiv on the outskirts of which are practicing, now you can still hear just the blows from the explosions of the plow rockets and it is clear that the enemy is using this because it is difficult to visually notice the drone at night and it is clear that you can shoot it down with a note except for the cheetah, which has a radar, but unfortunately we do not have so many cheetahs, we would like more and therefore, of course, they use it in order for us to use as much stock as possible in our missiles for anti-aircraft missile systems, and plus we see that if it were not there, but approximately if 15-20 fly out, then 3-5 must be in them somewhere approximately hits the target, therefore, there is a certain effectiveness in this. unfortunately, it is not

one hundred percent. but of course, these drones continue to pose a threat to us , especially if these drones are still operating in a complex with russian missiles . recently , the russians have been carrying out a massive mass drone attack in order to really calculate and exhaust our air defenses. of a missile strike, hoping that we have not yet had time to regroup, recharge, so to speak, maybe redeploy something, er, based on this, in your opinion, should we expect any missile strike in the near future? well, unfortunately, such risks remain, the practice shows that previous strikes from this stage of escalation missile terror from

october 10, which began that, in principle , russia needs at least a week, well, on average, a week or two weeks in order to collect the appropriate number of missiles for a massive launch, and this number is from 60 to 90 rockets, the maximum delivery is over 900, what happened, well, the previous rubbers are excluded, and this time it is somewhere closer to christmas, to the new year, uh, with the temperature dropping, they can organize similar attacks, such risks still remain, of course. thank you, mr. oleksandr, oleksandr musienko the director of the center for military and legal research was in direct contact with our studio, and now we will listen to the operational summary of our general staff, let's see, then we will continue to talk about military topics be with us glory to ukraine shota day

of the russian large-scale invasion , opponents will continue to focus their efforts on the introduction of offensive actions in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions, they are trying to restore the lost position on the limansky and are conducting defense . stelmahivka chervonopovka and sryebrynsk, luhansk oblast, and verkhnyukamyansk, pidgorodne bakhmut-expert kurdyumvka, krasnohorivka and maryinka, donetsk oblast during the day, the enemy carried out four missile and 160 air strikes and also carried out more than 80 attacks from rocket salvo systems, as a result of these strikes, civilian infrastructure and the population were affected; the threat of the enemy launching air and missile strikes against critical infrastructure objects remains throughout the territory of ukraine in the volynskyi and in the polish directions

, the situation remains unchanged, so no changes in the signs of the formation of offensive groups of the occupiers have been detected, identified units of the armed forces the republic of belarus and the russian federation continue to be located in the border areas with ukraine in the siversk direction , the population was hit by mortars, the timonovichi karpovichi and kostobovtsi points of the chernihiv region and novosilovka, kindrativka, vodolaga, zapsillia and zydetske in the sumy region, in the slobozhansk direction, the enemy carried out mortar and artillery attacks on the positions of our troops in populated areas shooting points deep old vovchansk volohivka chugunivka and dvorichna of kharkiv region on kupyansk telemansky in the directions the enemy fired from tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery in the areas of the settlements kotlyarivka krokhmalne, berestov, kharkiv region and novoselivsk stelmakhivka, makiyvka, the square of chervonopovka

and luhansk region, in the directions of bakhmut and avdiyiv, the enemy continues to conduct assaults , fired mortars, cannon and rocket artillery at our positions in the districts of 30 settlements, in particular, these are verknoka, minsk, berestov, yakovlivka, soledar, hryhorivka, bakhmut, chasiv yar klishchivka andriyivka kurdyumivka avdiyivka krasnohorivka maryinka and novomykhailivka of the donetsk region in the zaporizhzhia and kherson directions the enemy continues artillery shelling of the positions of our troops and civilian infrastructure along the right bank of the dnipro river, the regional settlements of temirivka krasnohorivka , krasnohorivka, krasnoye shcherbaki, zaporizhzhia region and chornobayivka antonivka kherson were hit mykilske lathe and chalk in kherson region, the enemy continues to suffer losses, the damage to the point of permanent deployment is confirmed

of the enemy on december 18 in the area of ​​chaplinka, kherson region , information on the dead and wounded occupiers is being clarified, ukrainian aviation carried out 16 strikes on the area of ​​concentration of personnel of weapons and military equipment and six strikes on the positions of enemy anti-aircraft missile systems , two enemy helicopters were shot down by air defense forces last day units of missile forces and artillery of the defense forces of ukraine in the case of an ammunition depot, three control points and three areas of concentration of personnel the forces of the enemy, believe in the armed forces we will win glory to ukraine death to the enemies we will definitely win we will continue our information broadcasting now we will hear and see serhii from the palace of the director of the information and consulting company defense express, mr. serhii, we congratulate you i congratulate you good morning, mr. serhii, i wanted to continue with you the same topic that we

talked about with oleksandr musienko, what about the effectiveness of russian missile and drone strikes, but kyiv cannot move away from yesterday's strike for the second day this morning the ground part of the kyiv metro from the lisova station to the arsenalna station is operating due to voltage drops well , according to the information of the mayor of kyiv , 144 apartment buildings may be left without heating in the coming days how do you assess the effectiveness of damage by cimedrons to infrastructure objects and the main thing is the effectiveness of the ukrainian anti-aircraft system of defense regarding the destruction of these and russian missiles well, let's start with drones, what do we need to do or is it possible to protect ourselves completely from damage to objects infrastructure by the miners of paradise, please, when we talk about the disconnection of the power grid, it is not only related to the drone strikes there, but also the

consequence of its low temperature, which caused an increased demand for energy in facilities and civilian homes of course, in any case, this whole situation is really quite difficult for the capital city, and we see that the enemy actually chose the capital city as a priority target because the extreme winged attack with private missiles somewhere 40 70 of the missiles were directed directly at kyiv, and yesterday’s attack by the martyrs was carried out by 35 rockets that were actually launched . we see that the enemy is preparing for these attacks quite carefully, analyzing these targets, who were

there, whether they were affected or not affected. how did ukraine ensure the restoration of certain infrastructure networks and again in the most vulnerable places? breaking through, we can see, let's say, they affect the stability of the power grid quite negatively, which is actually a confirmation of such a deliberate strategy of the enemy to ensure a complete blackout, first of all, from the shelf of such a show city, regarding what can be said , uh, they can ensure the blocking of work from the main part of our country on this non-defense in any case, i consider it effective because these indicators regarding the downing of cruise missiles if there is mine debris are extremely high . the question is that can we maximally to increase the density so much as to shoot down 100% of enemy targets in fact no, because no air defense system demonstrates such capabilities, moreover,

the rate of shooting down enemy targets at 30% is considered extremely good and we demonstrate from 80% and above so there are no complaints about the work the question is that it is necessary to increase the density of protection so that, in principle, it is connected with the acquisition of new complexes and the creation of a denser system for shaheds take off from which rockets take off from shaheda. why not, and we have seen precedents - this is a precedent. by the way, as for shaheds , they were often launched by the russian federation from the territory of the occupied crimea in the past, right up to the moment, according to my observations, after oleksiy danilov, secretary of the national security council and of defense confirmed the destruction of iranian instructors in crimea, after that they

quickly relocated the whole story to the krasnodar region, the eastern coast of the sea of ​​azov. how far is it from us serhii zgurets, director of information of the consulting company defense-express, we are in contact with us, we are re-contacting, and i will remind you that apparently in the hands of the defense forces of ukraine there are certain means that allow you to fly from the territory of our country a little further than we are all used to seeing. the airfield in engels i knows this well actually dyageleva recently millerova is also a good story in the rostov region well , about kyiv i continue in kyiv due to significant restrictions in electricity without a stable supply of 10 boiler houses heat supply interruptions may occur in 144 residential apartment buildings about this stated vitaliy klitschko. in connection with the extremely difficult situation in the energy industry and significant

damage to the energy infrastructure, ukrenergo applies more significant restrictions in kyiv, so 10 boiler houses are currently without a stable supply. there may be problems with heat, this is in the darnytskyi district, school number 280 yevhena kharchenko 23b and educational and scientific institute number three of the national academy of internal affairs, kolektorna street 4, there is also a tent there zhmerynska street 22 and school 215 zhmerynska 20 school 253 zhmerynska 34 school 76 zhmerynska 8 and shevchenkivskyi i wo n’t be able to go to the kmda website to see these heating points because the situation in kyiv still remains serious regarding the lack of electricity and heat as well in the region and literally just yesterday this morning i came from irpen, well, the day before yesterday, there

was no light in my apartment all day, but all day from morning to evening there was no light, although in the neighboring areas of irpen the light turns off and on, but there is more light there is no than there is heating in the houses with a double-circuit boiler for heating and hot water. it needs electricity, which means that all the houses are without light and that means without heat . ways , through available tools, places where drones take off, where rockets take off, this is what we should strive for. that coast, we already have successful precedents, but i remember recently the story with the port of sheskharis - this is the novorossiysk seaport

, it was from there that oil was unloaded, which was then dispersed on tankers around the world, and this was not a very good trend for us, so what are our prospects in this direction well, in fact, if we take into account the fact that our means of impression, which we are, the general staff does not recognize that ours can carry out strikes on the territory of the russian federation more than 600 km away, and at most at home up to 1000 km, then it is indeed possible to say on a theoretical level that it is possible, with good work, from which to find places in these neighbors and carry out attacks, but we understand that the distance there is 600 or 700 km, which can be covered by those strike systems within an hour. and in fact , during this time, a lot can change the place of launch, so in fact we are talking about

the fact that hunting for small hoe targets at a considerable distance looks like a technically quite difficult task, so i think that here the approach of the aggressor is quite logical. after the launches, a person can change the location of the base of the launcher in this way to protect it from our theoretical counter-attacking actions there. so here the risks of a certain champion will be preserved, it is necessary to look for options for making them possible there, that is, even transfers through these free complexes from iran to the russian federation are actually carried out there by diplomatic measures or special services forces somewhere hunting even earlier than they stand on launchers and how do you personally assess yesterday's meeting between the belarusian and russian presidents in minsk, because again, everyone mentioned kyiv region very carefully, all my relatives who know me there are following

this. where did they go to the bathhouse? if they went, then they agreed, then they will go. well , everyone there is not afraid of the fact that a similar invasion, well, a similar invasion from the territory of belarus simply led to the fact that in three days the convoys advanced all the way to roma nivka almost to the zhytomyr highway almost to novobilich back then in february did this meeting bring this invasion closer to a repetition from the territory of belarus or not in your opinion please calm people down because in fact we are talking about the fact that some of the experts in politics say that putin came there to push lukashenka to participate in the de facto war, the defense system itself approaches the defense from the ukrainian side has changed radically, there is no effect of suddenness, we know that from belarus there are at most three possible ways of advancement e-e equipment to the ukrainian territory, all these routes are under the control of the rest , it was so and it was not impossible to cross, the presence of our forces to block it is quite

enough for these efforts to build the potential of the russian-belarusian the group under is under the control of all the development of the american and ours there, in fact, the conclusions are unambiguous that so far it has not reached the level that can be considered critical and the very rhetoric of lukashenko was interesting, it was mentioned again that there is a threat, measures are such and such, the impression is that in this way he is trying in this way by issuing a threat of the west to putin that he is safe from participating in hostilities directly with ukraine, and then these statements about nuclear aircraft that will be preparing for territory to belarus, what kind of planes these are, it is not clear at all because it is actually unclear and i think that the rhetoric itself and the dynamics of the

negotiations and the conclusions are not such as to indicate that lukashenko succumbed to some pressure from putin and having changed the approaches to the same, it is necessary to delay as much as possible the process of drawing the belarusian army into combat from ukraine, because such a step will actually be deadly for him politically, and deadly for the army of belarus in fact. serhiu already asked you this question yesterday, and uh, we have some details from vitaly yakym, the head of mykolayiv ova kinburg, the use of some interesting weapon that absolutely shocked our enemy, so here in italy, who, er, notes that this is a 9-kilogram thermobaric ammunition that has been refined and is a common ammunition used by the military, but the russians did not expect that it would be from a drone and such a weight and at such a distance, that is why they raised such a panic, because looking at the video, it looks quite serious, we are talking about the video testing of this projectile, yes,

in fact, it is the development of our volunteers who worked out a bit well for two minutes, but sergey, thermobaric ammunition and this is how it is used, first, what does it mean for the enemy, secondly, what can the enemy respond to, well , the enemy can actually say what they see. of our drones. and by the way, there is such a threat , they are trying to attract these fish complexes, and the russians simply don’t have enough of them. and those that are , they are being destroyed, and as for the use of thermocouple ammunition, it’s actually it is a difficult technological process, therefore we have several state enterprises and private enterprises that have been engaged in this topic , thermocouple ammunition, they look more powerful, especially from the point of view of destroying these fortified structures and e-e lines of defense and if this

e-e becomes massive in terms of the presence of such a number drones with curved ammunition will significantly require the destruction of many objects that the enemy places in the first line of defense, and especially artillery and ammunition there that the effects of e-e thermobar, well, it is quite significant, but it is mainly directed at fighting manpower and fortified structures, so the choice is a matter of manpower for me. they say that these developments should be used for purposes that really correspond to the power of this ammunition . strength, and can this thermal bar actually be an alternative to cluster

ammunition , for example, unfortunately, no. will be less effective than cluster munitions , we really need specific ammunition for artillery, because it really allows us to preserve the resource of 155 mm 155 mm and now on communities and significantly increase the impression of enemy forces on larger areas, so cluster munitions should complement the work of our volunteers or another solution that we are now actively looking for in order to maximize the increase in the number of enemy personnel who need the impression of destruction serhii zgurets, director of the information consulting company defense espresso
