what is happening with the e location, which we will talk about further, it is regularly under shelling, but those who want to leave nikopol and manganets, well, not many. what is this connected with and how are these settlements experiencing regular shelling, we will talk with dmytro bychkov, the acting head dmytro of the nikopol district council, congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good day another hail attack with heavy artillery on the nikopol region this is the data we have literally for the last day, it is possible to share some details where were the targets where did they get to and what was the extent of the destruction? unfortunately, the enemy attacked nikopol and the nikopol district again, namely the city of nikopol marganets and the chervonogrigoriv community, they beat the coastal zone of our nikopol district the day before yesterday. it was one

of those nights when the nikopol region was not attacked and also for a very long time, attacks have been continuing from the territory of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and from the nearest villages on the city of nikopol, the city of manganese, chervonohrigorivka, and other territories of the nikopol district. luckily, people were not injured, utility workers and our workers, the critical infrastructure has already been very effectively questioned. unfortunately, these shellings and therefore, in principle, i can say that nikopol, despite this, everything that is happening continues to be difficult, but people believe that victory will come soon and they continue to live and work, and answering your question about the fact that a lot of people stay in the city, people, well, people like people, they already get used to everything, and therefore i can say that 30-35% of the residents of nikopol and

of the nikopol district will continue to stay in their places, work, live, help their elderly parents. well, in fact, in the council. in principle, the city and the district continue to live thanks to these people, mr. chairman. well, accordingly, we would like to ask you. and how does it look, well , on the example of ordinary ordinary residents of the nikopol community, how do they spend the night working from shops so we very often hear a lot of different official information, but we understand that the situation in nikopol and the community is extremely difficult, this is to say the least what does the ordinary everyday life of your city look like? well, i can say that the most affected is the life of those entrepreneurs who worked in small and medium-sized businesses, because in fact, we have a lot of people in the city, and not only in the city, who simply closed their small businesses. and

medium-sized businesses and a lot of empty shops in the territory of the city of nikopol, well, there are a lot of those grocery stores, pharmacies, er, just ordinary stores where people simply made a decision for themselves: you sell to live and continue to work. they work, but what has changed of course, the most important thing is that i can say that nikopol suffers the most, not even from a humanitarian crisis, but from a psychological crisis , because nikopol and the district are a city of constant anxiety, and of course everyone already understands very well that they have learned to count to 15 when a flight departs from the shutdown of the power plant unfortunately, only up to 15 seconds, and the residents have up to 10 seconds, when they can, let's say, hide in some improvised shelter when you find yourself on the street, and this is such a psychological pressure that you have 10-15 seconds

the biggest pressure on our residents, because such shelling can occur in public transport and in the market and on the street and in the park and on the playground , so unfortunately this is the greatest psychological pressure, but at night people already understand that you have to stay in the houses, you have to maintain the rules of two walls well, in fact, whenever possible, i found a shelter when you have such a serious shelling of nikopol and the planteplom area with water in nikopol well, when there is a blackout and such massive mass shelling are happening in our ukraine, of course nikopol suffers the most, as does the whole country at that time. at this time, there are a little bit more blackouts, but then gradually, at the expense of utilities

and energy workers, critical infrastructure, the situation is improving , of course. some have more, some have less, depending on the situation in different directions. but i can say that, in principle, due to the fact that local authorities and all of us are gradually helping to every settlement was less dependent on such outages and every day there are more and more generators, the unbreakable points are improving more and more, people are provided and we help with power banks with warm things, then i can say that a certain period of time will pass and the people of nikopol and the residents of our district will we are even more ready to say so morally to be ready in the winter for the worst scenario thank

you, mr. chairman, strength to you strength to the residents of the nikopol community, we understand so these are just words of support, but you know we we are extremely worried for you and for the residents of nikopol region, we are moving on, unfortunately, dmytro bychkov was in touch with us, you told the head of the nikopol district council khrystynovoy so well, now we will talk about how volunteers help our military and is there anything we we can optimize, make the work of our defenders easier, we will remind that uh, in our country , there is an application eppo, it is such a well-known in the information space, a well-known story for the interaction of civilian observers and with the air defense forces of the armed forces of the forces of ukraine so that we all together help neutralize the threat from the sky. now we will talk about the next initiative , in fact, the people who volunteered, who developed the

air defense volunteer group of technicians, handed over to the military units of the south air command new anti-aircraft searchlights to fight against russian-iranian kamikaze drones. i'm in touch with the studio andriy kosyak, a volunteer of the group of technicians. congratulations to andriy, glory to ukraine. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. please tell me about the new spotlights from with which it turns out to be possible to fight against the russian and iranian insidious equipment, how does this whole thing work. if you can, well, tell me some details that are not secret, well, with the shihids, first and actually we understood that they are not far from us and this threat will be constant. they actually handed over

the pvk south because eh, well, where are the soldiers with which they protect us, these are radar companies, these are anti-aircraft companies, that is, those are there, well, with 300 , there are beech, well, any kind of that. and we understood that they are a-a, first of all, they are in the risk zone and that's why we really don't want to lose precious resources, in fact, for the most part, our s300 topics about us are now at war, which slovakia handed over to us, that is, in my opinion, no one else gave them protection of kiev is yet to be handed over. and that is why i took care of preserving that resource, which we have , and they already came to the power system later, and it turned out that

it is not so easy to find a searchlight that meets the completely opposite requirements, and we conducted quite a lot of experiments they ordered different models of searchlights, and finally, as a result of all these experiments, they managed to find two models that meet this requirement, that is, the task is to detect flying drones somewhere. at some distance from the object. so it turned out that for this purpose, quite rare searchlights are best suited for this purpose. these searchlights are the ones that work first to search for people who have fallen into the sea, that is, these are marine searchlights. as a result, we selected a model for the protection of stationary objects, this 2

-kw metal halogen spotlight lights up quickly enough if you don’t want to . well, with marine performance, that is, it normally survives rain, snow, and weather . odessa when we put up a searchlight for mobile fire groups, that is, these are the guys who go out into the fields and try to grab drones at a teenager with an object, that is, they do not stand still, that is, it is not a secret that they are every region of ukraine. and for them, the problem was that there is usually no powerful power supply on board , and starting the generator is not an option because the drone will not distinguish the generator then, and we managed to pick up a model of an

led floodlight, which we immediately arranged at the same time. it turned out that everyone noticed it odesa, because the spotlight was better , we could see the second end of the city, that is, well, there the public wrote about ufos , which i understand. a group of technicians managed to develop some extremely cool application, it is an air defense system that allows us to attract our unstoppable energy on the ground, so to speak, and the military command, how does this system work, and can the enemy, for example, invade, so to speak, on the route, well , the situation is like this, that is, in fact, eh the system was developed quite a long time ago, and it was developed a-a in a test with well, contact with officers in the south

, naval forces, land-experienced forces, that is, we were very much supported, very much criticized, but supported by everyone, this system has proven its effectiveness, officially we can talk about the two martyrs and the whipped cruise missiles precisely thanks to our system, that is, what is our idea , radars are not ideal, they do not see what is flying low and due to the features of the terrain it happens that what they do for this is a rustling or cruise missile. strictly speaking, this is their standard combat use. they go low and repeat the terrain. that is, if there is any rescue or russian rivers. the radar can sometimes lose them, and the idea is that people are civilians who are at

this moment in this place . in fact, to radio engineering troops, granite troops, etc., sometimes it helps us to accompany these targets and, accordingly, it increases the probability that this target will be shot down andrei well, we know that the enemy aims to exhaust our anti-aircraft defense available methods, and the enemy has a wide agent network in our country, well, there are people who adjust the fire and start saboteurs, well, this is normal. unfortunately, these are the side effects of war . and what if a person, not quite with good intentions and not quite with a pro-ukrainian position , enters some data into eppo which will not be sung. well, to somehow

believe in reality, our air force commands are disorienting, that is, there have already been such cases. what to do with it? well, in fact , uh, uh, the application requires registration days, that's how it would be... he is at least a citizen of ukraine, and the second thing is, there is a mathematical algorithm that helps to melt such things, and the second thing is, our officers of the air command are not weak-willed children, and they are so easy to join the team, well, it is unreal, this is still a professional of a very high level, and well hmm, well, in short, it sounds like a funny story , just in the city itself, yes, so to speak, the shooting down of an enemy object, the sky, it’s not just there, a message and a shot, it’s well, you need understanding, yes, even if there were some

agents, because of the action, he would come, then he would caught fire, so that there is a double profile so that the agent can be exposed. well, well, and secondly. that is, there are people who believe that if i pressed the drone button to grind it, then right now it should actually be uh, the zone of fire by the officers is taken into account and well , let's say, well, we don't know anything about it, but according to the logic of things, that is, there are zones where it is possible to whip and cannot be whipped, etc. i'm worried that if you reported it and it didn't fall right away, it's not necessary. in fact, the main thing that we ask you to install this application is not people in the city. people in the city are also good because i

would turn out to be a city dweller. yes, that is odessa. well where is the problem of my trip to kiev, mmm, a cruise missile flew over my head that was going to vinnytsia well, it happened by chance, the probability is very small, but it always exists, and the more people have installed this application , the more likely it is enemy the target will be accompanied in places where you can temporarily not see the radars , that is, our task is not to replace the radio- technical lezenit troops, but our task is simply to tell them at the right moment that they are not it. thank you very much. it's an extremely cool initiative and let's hope that the water will of course spread throughout our country. thank you for your service and greetings to the technari group and of course to odessa. andriy kosyak , a volunteer of the tihnari group, was working now live on the espresso tv channel. well, we

let's go further and the head of the defense committee of the bundestag, maria agnes - fine zimmerman called chancellor scholze's refusal to provide tanks to ukraine not only incomprehensible, but also alarmingly short-sighted, she stated this in one of the interviews, mariana zimmerman noted that germany could help ukraine in its struggle, however, the chancellor's office sometimes lacked the will, the chancellor's refusal to give ukraine tanks and in its struggle for survival is not only an incomprehensible, alarmingly short-sighted situation, especially for the civilian population, it is catastrophic. sorry for an excuse why we can't deliver tanks especially when i hear that the supply of tanks would be a special provocation for russia we have successfully delivered self-propelled howitzers from anti-aircraft tanks artillery systems and highly effective anti-aircraft systems to save thousands of lives from the delivery of tanks now would be an important addition to pushing back russian positions and she said

well, it's hard to disagree, well, we'll talk about this one, about the other one, with ivan kyrychevskiy, a military expert, defense express well, glory to ukraine, ivan, i congratulate you, i'm glad to see you well and speaking of panic mirman's position, we understand that she criticizes the chancellor from the opposition, from the opposition it is extremely convenient to criticize anyone, so we understand that they already have such a coalition, but this does not remove responsibility from the german chancellor, respectively. that is, where are our leopards second and so on. well, let's not start with that. so, let's go with belarus. maybe, let's go. okay, mr. ivan, well , they say that the russians are trying, but nothing they are really succeeding at the moment, fortunately for us, although, of course, our armed forces and are ready for the

belarusian direction in places and strategically and in principle, nothing has changed, even more, a new united one has appeared that if russia uses this story, it means that by transferring armored vehicles and other means to belarus, it is more likely that we are leading our troops into deception, because it has already turned out for them there standard practice, when the same helmet can be used two or three times in belarus and go down in history or in this way, the idea that there seem to be many russian tanks preparing to touch, but in fact there is nothing there, because the russians actually have now nothing is possible purely because all the more or less free forces and means that they could use to advance from the territory of belarus are actually stuck under the bahmut or they are now being transferred there in the form of these reserves from the side

melitopol there to from mariupol to melitopol there and to berdyansk it is obvious that as soon as let's say this the russians will suddenly appear additional partially mobilized, well it won't be before january, then we can talk about some real threat there that the russians are really ready already in such an operational room plans to attack from the side of belarus, and so far it looks everywhere like an imitation of a demonstration of a threat well, and a plus of a kind well, a more or less effective means of hiding our forces in that area and keeping such peculiar tensions especially since something in this is rational in such a calculation, because if we keep some groupings of large troops , but in our case, the grouping of the armed forces of ukraine is in tension of waiting for several weeks or months. well, sooner or later, vigilance may drop . will fall because, well, the belarus factor is already difficult to write, how much it has become, you know, a

literally existential, not even a military, existential threat factor for our country and the state and the nation. even now we are sitting in shelters precisely because we heard that a strategic bomber had taken off on the territory of the airfield, well that is. so far there are no visible signs of an attempt to launch any missiles from there. but nevertheless, the tension is really high . in order to place them on the territory of belarus, to carry out some actions in the direction of our border, this is because russia does not have the forces or, er , at the same time, lukashenko is also possible. well, they did not push him to the end today, by the way, he said that the meeting with putin was just like them well they not only beat tea with raspberry jam , but also solve some issues, but he emphasizes a purely economic nature. well, it may be true that some issues. let's put it this way

. ukraine, but there it is obvious that the issue is not in the economy, but in weapons, because well, compared to the realities of 2021, lukashenko actually needs, well, it seems to be half the amount of oil and half the amount of gas to provide for his state-owned enterprises. what is the fate of their market beginning, i.e. ukraine has fallen off because for obvious reasons lukashenko is interested in weapons that are interested in the s400 or directly put into service with the belarusian army by belarusian specialists and are interested in kander, and you also know the adequate number for approximately a missile brigade with belarusian specialists and not russian missileers. so far there are only a signal that such complexes will simply be placed on the territory of belarus and with the russian military, and lukashenko is clearly not satisfied with what else could in the phrase, the economic factor, well , in general, belarus wants to receive from russia , er, about 8-12 fighter jets, court 307, er, this money was bought to belarus on credit, there seem to be

seven loans of 400 million dollars. could put in front of putin that the kremlin wrote off this debt and just gave free water to these fighter jets, that's why there is rather such an interesting situation that it is rather lukashenko can set new and new conditions for bargaining with putin well, putin is in such a situation where something has to be agreed upon because it has its own interests. but moscow still can’t do something based on inertia, because there the kremlin is still used to being a senior partner of minsk in other capitals of the so-called cis . -minus outlined what kind of heavy equipment we need and we are waiting for appropriate signals from our western friends and partners. i don't know what to call it. well, i don't know. maybe allies. well, but for this

, certain documentation should be strengthened in any case and what about the russians with heavy equipment, we understand that they are taking part of their reserves out of conservation and trying to take them out, in particular, to take them to the lines of fire on the front line, mr. ivan well, the situation there is, let's say, dialectical with them, because on the one hand, really if you rely on the data our general staff reports that the russians have lost all their tanks that were in service before the start of the war. there seems to be a figure of 316. well , the trosichka army had little in service before the start of the war - 2900, obviously a significant number, well, quite a large number, about one and a half thousand tanks was returned to strya from the conservation base, and here it is necessary to understand approximately the following in order to restore one tank with the russians now, it is necessary to strip it for spare parts. well, approximately 33-4 russian vehicles have lost the appropriate technologies for restoration with veterillery systems. in fact

, the situation is approximately the same. well, in principle, one of these, you know the most powerful question that arose in the profile community after all these gigantic plans, which he announced that he would create two new military circles, new motorized rifle divisions, and additional ones amphibious brigades, roughly speaking, these groups of 200 new bulls, about which zaluzhny told one in his interviews, that's the most important question that arises. and what will they arm them with ? years, it will take them several years to produce this equipment, and you compatriots , the russians are counting on 200,000 shmobikes for the next six months, we will see maybe the russians are there in principle. there is something there for a psychological effect, to pull out something similar to this 14 guns , only simplified well, mostly, most of them are

thrown, well, how do they get used to battle, that is, a strong tale of the yews of the second world war well, and an old machine gun well, mr. ivan, very briefly in the last 11 months of this in 2018, the government allocated 245 billion hryvnias for the purchase , modernization, repair of weapons and equipment . next year, this budget was increased to 300 billion hryvnias, prime minister denys shmygal reports. they need to be produced, minister of defense oleksiy reznikov stated that ukraine went and adjusted the production of 120 mm and 152 mm. i don't know if it is in sufficient volume. but nevertheless, in your opinion, we should fix what is now, and we understand that the basis can be wrong. but we still have soviet weapons, because the heimers are very effective, but quantitatively it is not very much and not only highse. that is, we should fix what we have or spend more on

purchasing new ones. moreover, there is a certain consensus among our partners on this matter i would like to believe that there is, but we will be forced to mainly fix what is there, and all the more so the western partners are betting on the fact that we will rely mainly on soviet or russian - made weapons. there was a number of soviet-caliber projectiles, and it has something because the organization of new production there of new weapons from scratch, well, it takes a lot of resources, so, well, obviously, we will see such a picture, repair something, something will be repaired even from that russian lend-lease taken in the kharkiv region in the fall well, something will happen there in attempts to continue bohdan neptun ’s programs there, others are so significant for our nuclear power plant. uhu thank you ivan kyrychevskiy military expert defense

express well, we are now part of the relay and in our bunker broadcasting there will be other people just like that news despite the fact that we have er our network as they say television er the broadcast is somewhat broken due to air alarms, we still try to call the information the most important and the freshest, make it our news in a few moments, wait for it here, join the community with a ukrainian view of the world, become a sponsor of the youtube channel espresso, and this is access to exclusive content, personal thanks, pinned comments, special icons there, the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click to sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian perspective iryna koval, mother, wife, presenter

espresso tv channel and i am also a volunteer, our soldiers at the front need a lot of things every day, and that is why part of my life today is helping the armed forces of ukraine. did i, the author and host of television projects, think that i would have to understand things like thermal imagers, generators, quadcopters, could i be a mother? three children to imagine that just like knowing the principle of operation of a diaper, i will understand the difference between an active and passive night vision device , did my wife know that i would buy my husband not shirts for work but berets and i didn't know about tactical glasses, but since 2014 i had to become a volunteer because our relatives were on the front lines and they needed our help. everyone of you can

help. even a small contribution to support the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer. the war in ukraine is the main topic for of ukrainians victories and losses, analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics, serhii rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this, people who have information and shape public opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future, the main thing is now and interesting in the program verdict serhiy rudenko monday through thursday at 5:10 p.m. repeat at 9:30 p.m.
