to answer how much is possible to provide as much as possible, because well, it seems to me that in such situations as dnipropetrovsk region is currently in, and in general, our whole country, well , it cannot be such that everything was enough exactly as much as possible and everything was fine, well , i can’t say for sure, but as far as i know our communal services, all our rescuers and our doctors, and all the people who are responsible for such critical moments are making maximum efforts. well, the volunteers of the front, of course, are also actively working, for example, our headquarters and our youth this week, the solidarity youth organization held a charity event, the box holiday, which we completed and gave at least a small holiday to the children of immigrants from mariupol, gift boxes

. dnipropetrovsk keeps the settings in everyone's positive, of course , it knocks everything out of a positive mood there and there are also blackouts and lack of heat , heat in the apartments and other problems, but we are sure that everything will be fine and we are ready fight on, thank you very much mrs. kateryna kateryna nemchenko, a deputy of the dnipropetrovsk regional council, despite the fact that there is no light, contacted us and thank you very much for your comments. dnipro is actually a heroic city that provides many things, logistically, medically, financially, and in every way. well, because him and the whole of ukraine, which joins in this . our forces in donbas and in the southeast and in the south now have the strength to hold on. i'm glad to see and hear you, i'll start, well

, literally in an hour or a little more, i read about the fact that explosions were heard again in kherson, what was happening there, and in general, how did the day pass today, not in kherson, but precisely in view of the enemy shelling, please well, if you compare it with the volume of the 24th, so to speak, with a holiday greeting from the russian occupiers when we had heavy losses, the last three days have been relatively calm for us. yes, we have shelling. yes, we have destruction and fires . again in the civil infrastructure of medical facilities, but there are no dead among the local population, at least now, and only injured. yes, this is a problem, however , the work of our artillery is still felt, it is felt that we are fighting back and that the enemy needs more time to regroup , restore its losses, restore its

combat capabilities, and accordingly for every one e-e arrival, we usually hear two exits from us uhu i will also ask about oleshki there, the russians fired at oleshki in kherson oblast. unfortunately, there is a dead person there, or has the situation not changed as of now, maybe there is more information about the consequences of this enemy shelling at us, as for the towers, this is more strategic communications, eh, i am responsible for the place of kherson , eh, i can only mention that i just heard about it , that this is how they shelled, and this is not the first time , in fact, that they have invaded the territory occupied by themselves. i will tell you more last week, they made an impression about their positions and the reactive system, they are such good guys, i don't know how to thank them, but i want to use the ether to thank them for this, please, we liked it, we saw it on your page in the social network facebook, your photo is by the word of ukraine in the united states of america, markarov and

the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine. something is being done, it is important from what can be said, please yes, what is important is being done, our diplomatic corps got acquainted with the problems that befall us, for example , in the mykolaiv region personally, so people could see for themselves what they are working for what do we expect from them, what do we ask from them, and it was a very wonderful event in this regard, and very useful for me, and besides , it always provides an opportunity to exchange interesting and useful information for both sides. and regarding the provision of the city of kherson, if we started to talk about diplomatic work. of course, diplomats are currently working in different countries on different continents to provide humanitarian

technological support. well, i am not talking about military support for the affected regions and for of the de-occupied cities, in particular kherson, which were de- occupied by the survivors and humiliated the occupation , and now they are under fire, what kind of aid is kherson really receiving now, especially in terms of humanitarian aid, please, in fact, the city of kherson receives aid, yes, international humanitarian missions come periodically for us, primarily the un, including the leadership he is in ukraine and seems to be in europe as well. people come and are not afraid to visit kherson itself, despite the fact that they also actually fall into the risk zone and come under fire. nevertheless, they came to personally see how their programs work, such as world kitchen, for example, how they work in the city of kherson, how the local government implements these tools, how it copes with them, so it is not even so much control on the part of these organizations as on clarifying the needs for

their further implementation in the city of kherson. after this shelling on december 24, several hundreds of people left kherson and went now for a certain time to safer places. and if this or that was a one-time event the story of the departure of people, the evacuation of people , is this happening every day now? is it true that there were 250 people? we were talking about 25 people. is this a standard number of people who are evacuating? was it only after that ? of the large-scale and terrible shelling on december 24, please do you know the situation looks as follows in my opinion, before the invasion of the main headquarters in general, before the hostilities, the population of the city of kherson was more than 330,000 , now this figure fluctuates somewhere in the region of 70,000, that is, as you see, it is significant part of the local population left and left

almost immediately, and we, the military and the administration, said unanimously that the city of kherson should be thrown in because it is on the line of contact, and that the shelling will only be repeated, knowing the tactics of russian intimidation and this state terrorism, and the people listened they left in the first month . there were really queues here, especially considering that the filtering measures before this queue were very long and the majority of the population who were able to leave but remained had mobile phones the groups left are people who belong to the unprotected social strata of people who have many animals or elderly people of a respectable retirement age, so the majority of the victims, as we see it, are 60 plus, for example, yesterday a person was injured, a woman was generally 84 years old, i will ask a very short question at the end. dead and wounded we are

just seeing these terrible shots, another proof of the terrorist activity of the terrorist country and the aggressor country of russia, is there any aid being allocated? certain payments, well, give priority ones, please, well, that’s more a question for the administration, after all, i’m a military man and responsible more for uh, military component uh, in the media space, i can tell you, i won’t ask you about it anymore, i think well, it’s possible because i well for sure , i still think that something is foreseen, especially in such difficult situations. thank you for joining. take care, dmytro . thank you for your comments. the situation in kherson, to a greater extent, humanitarian and security, it is very difficult. well, we will also talk about the situation at the front in just a few seconds, our needs , our opportunities and the situation in general with

serhiy zgurets of the management of defense express and the presenter was military parents summary of the day congratulations vasyl congratulations to our viewers, i greet serhii, i will start the conversation and ask a short question. president volodymyr zelenskyi talked with the prime minister of the republic of italy giorgia melody. she promised in ukraine, well, she invited zelensky to rome, but this is not before our conversation, she said that in italy she will provide ukraine with air defense systems, what is it about? well, in fact, this is because the complex called itself is a modern digital complex. it is even more modernized than the patriot complex and as a matter of fact , this complex, just like the patriot, can fight ballistic missiles, i actually think it’s a very cool thing, if it gets into the equipment of our air defense forces, it will be extremely important for us to fight against iranian missiles. we will talk about it in

in the military results. this day, with other topics about what is happening on the fronts and what the consequences were of drone strikes on enemy airfields in engels, more on this in a moment. so now everyone is expecting the arrival of the american patriot complex into the armed forces of ukraine. now, as we see, it is possible that the arrival and departure of italy, these are actually the types of weapons that will really significantly strengthen our anti-aircraft defense because they can fight ballistic missiles, here we are also talking about these russian missiles iskander, we are talking about the samples of ballistic missiles that russia is going to purchase from iran and now russia, by the way, is very hopeful that this country will receive the missiles and unmanned systems that are already arriving and other types of weapons. but is it possible to oppose these efforts

and this friendship between iran and the russian federation what can ukraine do to somehow find an antidote to this military cooperation between iran and the russian federation ? of middle eastern studies, p. igor. greetings . if you see me. greetings, mr. serhiy . -to russia, is iran currently afraid of any sanctions at all, or is it using any means of political pressure on this country? well, i believe that iran is afraid and iran is not in a state where it

is ready and can actually ignore sanctions it has been 100 days. how is the popular uprising going on in iran and the situation for the iranian leadership? well, it is controlled but difficult. they need resources, and these resources can be provided by russia, and we see that they are providing iran precisely in order to satisfy the needs of the loyal population. but at the same time, iran is seriously linked to the economy and cooperation with other countries, and not least from europe, until the last moment europe ignored, for example, trump's introduction of sanctions against iran in the 18th year, on the contrary, it categorically disagreed with these sanctions and only now, under the pressure of the uprising , the eu has begun to introduce sanctions, and

these sanctions are not only personal, that is, we are not talking about sanctions that will be imposed on industries, and therefore only if you paid attention, information arrived just a few days ago that germany has stopped cooperation with iran that is, when he stopped, let's say this process of interaction and help, and the morning, you can imagine what the situation is in france in cooperation with the morning. well, and other european countries. so, only now we see some certain changes. it is quite possible that eh this pressure, european pressure on iran can at least postpone the very fact of supplying

these missiles, since the missiles themselves, as far as i can judge, are er such a radical violation of the 2015 resolution, which provided for the introduction of sanctions in the event that iran will supply such missiles, the only thing we see is that iran is pretending and how is it that in the matter of drones it is pretending that it is not his concern, that it is not his drones, it is quite possible that they will talk about missiles in the same way, but the missiles are big, big and it is impossible to hide them that's why i think that this situation was likely , mr. igoryok, i wanted you to comment on this story with russian planes because there was information about what kind of missiles and drones there, russia has volunteered in the near future to put

su-35 fighters there in the morning, it seems 24 cars, the price of question two seems to be two billion dollars, and actually such a supply, well, significantly changes the balance of power in the region. do you think that this is not caused by certain counter actions on the part of the united states and israel, which are unlikely to be to be calm about iran strengthening its aviation component of its armed forces , well, first of all, the conversation about these planes began at the end of the summer . the possibility of the transfer of these planes and mornings today, well, it is confirmed, or at least, this version becomes more working, and it is clear that if this

happens, the balance of power in the middle east will be changed, and i assume that israel is very i am following this carefully, and i also assume that there are at least negotiations on this matter between israel and between tel aviv and moscow. i thought, at least until the moment when it was officially announced about the possibility of selling these planes, that these would be arguments that moscow would hold until the end precisely for negotiations by the israelis in order to prevent the rapprochement of israel and ukraine, but as we see it in principle, it turned out that it can be implemented even without this condition, the very fact itself, well, at least the russians are considering

this history as such, which strengthens their opportunities in the middle east, forcing other countries, first of all, saudi arabia and israel , to take into account russian interests and to be as far as possible from the u.s. is it possible for me to prefer such more radical actions on the part of israel to tell him to lower the military potential there? and it is early because there were assumptions that in the case of the purchase of these aircraft there states, israel can inflict gifts on the critical institution of iran, as far as possible, what consequences will this have for the region, you know, i don't think it's possible, that is, the probability is obvious, there is some yes, but i wouldn't give

it a lot of percentage because, uh, the united states of america right now are not ready for the start of a new war in the middle east, and an attack by the israeli air force on objects on the territory of iran will lead to a response attack, and definitely before the start of some kind of military conflict, i am not sure that the israelis are ready for a massive attack, and the main thing is to activation of iran's proxy forces along its border, let's not forget that the iranians are also in syria, so this story, of course , warms the heart a little, but it does not look so realistic, let's say, in these conditions, which are clear . that his patience after baseless accusations and indecent

statements is not unlimited, but the question arises, are these just words or, on the contrary, a sign that the rana can speed up the implementation of these arrangements between tigran and moscow, they implemented equipment, and we see equipment related to drones in this one. this is an attempt to camouflage these drones by renaming them to geraniums, and that didn't stop them, i don't think that they can be stopped, all these, this whole story is obvious to a certain extent, mmm the reason why ira has not handed over the missiles yet lies in probably other circumstances that are not fully known. it is quite possible that there are contradictions within the iranian political class, where not every representative is ready to get closer to moscow, at least there is a big one

the opposition to the position that the leaders have now taken early and it is quite possible that a-a part of the iranian iranian political class hopes for an opportunity to negotiate, if not with america, then at least with europe, that is, not everything is as they say unequivocally in this situation, but these threats in my opinion i only think that such a verbal shaking of the air is the most important thing, but now who needs iran more than russia or russia as iran, because the impression is that iran now considers russia to be weak and is trying to use the moment as much as possible there for nuclear technologies will now be carried by airplanes . to what extent can such risks be predicted and linked to the current moment

? varkhaik and today russia is following the same trajectory, that is, they are very close in spirit and in ideas. and as for who needs who more? er with on the one hand, iran is interested in strengthening its subjectivity, and thanks to this, for the first time in a long time, it obviously feels like a player, a player in a wide geopolitical arena, where it can

challenge, including the united states of america, and be involved in some serious geopolitical plans for that and at the same time, russia is of course interested in iranian weapons and iranian weapons, and it is also interested in certain resources and allies , because allies are not so good, and every country that is ready to step up and lend a shoulder and to join the war, including with weapons, is welcomed by moscow and iran is not an exception in this case. they are looking for each other and are trying to implement this new alliance panel. thank you for these professional

explanations to our viewers. i will remind you that on the air channels of espresso, igor of seven hairs, director of the center of middle eastern studies, and now we have taras berezovets, an officer of the first separate special brigade named after ivan bohun, taras. greetings if you see me. good night. another meeting of the supreme commander was held, where they discussed the situation in bakhmut and under the crime scene, so i would like to ask you for your conclusions on the assessment of the situation around bakhmut, first of all, based on your own experience, and to communicate with our military from different parts, what is happening there now the same thing is happening since the first days of the russian invasion, when the russians approached the city of

bakhmut . what is the name of the stars, i say conventionally in quotes? of course, the so-called russian stars, i'm pretty, that's him, and now also general gerasimov. in yesterday's video, which was published in telegram channels that went viral, including ukrainian networks, two wagners directly threaten the general, the chief of the general staff of the armed forces. of the russian federation to valery gerasimo obscenely addressing him that he is allegedly to blame for the shortage of ammunition in this direction, because of which wagner's mercenaries cannot decently resist, as they say in in this video, all the ukrainian armies are under the e-e bahmut, in this place the interests of the russian army and the wagner dude have converged , and as you know, the e-e are now fighting among themselves for leadership in the russian and the shumenti stems, they

are also fighting for financial flows, and of course this is a struggle for power, and so far it looks like prigozhin and the wagners will all win this battle for themselves, so for prigozhin, this is a personal vendetta, a personal revenge against the ukrainian army, and he wants to capture bakhmut in order to take revenge for the losses he suffered the wagnerites are opposed by the armed forces of ukraine and also take revenge on their opponents from the russian ministry of defense of the general staff of the russian armed forces, i.e. everything overlapped one on top of the other, but what is happening now on the ground, from what i know from talking to my brothers and colleagues, the russians carry out constant assault groups. they are carried out sometimes dozens of times a day on the same ukrainian positions and wagner and russian mobs. the so-called russian aviation, russian art, that is, they throw everything

in order to take positions er for themselves for themselves to take positions in this place from the fact that they managed as much as possible they went to the er southern south-eastern suburbs of the city was established at one time in the so- called triangle, as the ukrainian soldiers call it, from the majority they were knocked out of the streets occupied by them. last week, well, there are insignificant groups. let's say that they are infiltrated. at a terrible cost to themselves, they were able to achieve it about two weeks ago and it is no longer there. well, as of today, we can say that i warned about this for about a week, because the russian forces have the impression that they are running out. we are talking about

drawing in view of the activity, i am so directly on the city, however, there are ongoing attempts to surround bakhmut, but as we can see, the capabilities of artillery and manpower are generally not enough for this, but you talked to our military, i see it literally recently, your reviews where our military say that we need more cars, more communication systems, more clothes, etc. does this mean that the material and technical support of the ukrainian army needs certain, let's say, measures so that the wishes of the ukrainian military would be satisfied more quickly. well, let's figure it out. the supply of the armed forces of ukraine in this particular direction in bakhmut has recently improved, but in the army, the army is the structure where several things are always missing, regardless of how many there are supplies, they are consumables of the car, they definitely belong to this category of weapons, belong to this category, and therefore,

because there are constant not only attacks, but also fires, fire contact is constantly taking place, russian art tanks, uh, their uh, mortars, it destroys our cars, which we evacuate, the wounded, are destroyed, the cars that we drive in , the bulls that are used to drive in, that is, against food and so on, and therefore it is clear that for the absolute majority of brigades , you must understand that 80% of this is or personal automobile transport of servicemen or provided by volunteers well, here we have, for example, in the direction of bakhmut, many soldiers generally fought in their own cars, starting from the zhiguli and ending with the class there, relatively speaking, there were nissan murano, yes, and i always became one of them question: why is this for you? that is, you

put your, well, new, expensive , expensive cars, er, undercuts of destruction, and they fall into and are destroyed, and the explanation is simple. there are often not enough or they appear and you understand that the life of a car in a war can be 1-2 days, that is, a car can collect people there for weeks, it will only be there for days to get there from abroad and destroy it there on the first day unfortunately this happens. well, it can’t be any other way. well, the same applies in principle to bc, but i repeat once again that the supply has recently become much better for our units. which, by the way, is also confirmed by the videos recorded by wagner’s mercenaries, who admit that in this direction we have an advantage, if i spoke a few weeks ago about the fact that we have, let's say, such an unstable parity in the artillery in the direction of bakhmut, then we can now say that vorokh is now experiencing a serious deficit of e-e bc to

its own artillery. that is why we can even talk about a certain our advantage, but this in no way means that the danger, the danger has passed. no, unfortunately, no. the enemy will continue these attempts at him. well, i would say that the human supply is actually not limited and they will not stop. throwing how they are doing it now in the neighborhood, in the literal sense of their own, these long-range attacks, their own troops, this is what, let’s say, we call the bakhmut express, yes, that is, you know, this living force is replenished with their named enemy, the panther, thanks for the inclusion, i know that you in a minimum of time this period. thank you once again for your time and for your professional comments, and i would like to remind our viewers that taras berezovets, the first officer of the separate special brigade named after ivan bohun, was on the air of the espresso channel. and now on communication with us
