well, now with the air battle on february 24, another battle unfolded, the war at sea is an equally important stage of the russian-ukrainian war, with its defeats and victories, which in the end did not allow the russians to implement their invasion plans. former deputy chief of staff of the ukrainian navy andriy ryzhenko says that the first significant success at sea for in ukraine, there was an explosion at berdyansk here on march 24, the ukrainian dot o put an end to the history of the great amphibious assault ship saratov, but the russians then lost not just a combat unit, one ship was completely destroyed damaged for a long period, that is, this sea route is logistical for fueling their offensive in southern ukraine, it was actually stopped, and further, now it is an

exhibit of the national military-historical museum, and until april 13, the rescue equipment of the same original collective image of the same russian warship became cruiser moscow, its destruction finally convinced the russians that it is deadly dangerous to approach the ukrainian coast, they lost their naval stamp, then they replaced it with the makarov frigate, but he such functions do not already have such properties. and this ensured further success in sea battles, says andriy ryzhenko. well, this was a serious signal to the fact that the northwestern part of the black sea is no longer fully controlled by the russian federation. this success was developed a little later when the ukrainian navy struck the rescue to the tugboat vasyl beh , which delivered weapons to snake island and through the

gas straits, which was carried out by our marine counterattacks forced the russians to get away from the island, the changed so-called iron of goodwill allowed us to control more of the radius of the black water area and the path between odessa and the mouth of the danube. andriy ryzhenko mentions the famous drone attack on sevastopol. and although our defense forces did not admit their participation in this operation after it part of their fleet, the russians were urgently away in novorossiysk, of course the battle for the sea is still going on, but they can operate there for a short time, they can carry out missile attacks, they still have air dominance, they have well surface forces have an advantage over underwater forces, but they cannot act so freely, they have no freedom of maneuver, as was the case in march-april,

when they spent most of their time literally at 3:30 p.m. on the coast of our odesa , according to western analysts, the armed forces of ukraine repelled more than half of captured by the russians since february 24, the russian troops were unable to overcome the deep and stubborn defense of kyiv. a major ground operation says the former spokesman of the general staff vladyslav seleznyov - this is defense and a further counteroffensive in the north, but it is not only about the kyiv region, the invaders had to bite the heels of sumy region, chernihiv and zhytomyr regions, it was actually an escape that was due to the skilful actions of ukrainian forces defense, first as part of the defense, then counteroffensive , this led to the fact that the russians

suffered a huge loss of life and armored vehicles, they lost a lot of weapons and ammunition, they were armed and they somehow lost the initiative. at that time, a tragic page in the history of the war was being written in the south . the battle for mariupol lasted from february 24 to may 20. during these almost three months, the russians razed the city to the ground, but russia's victory turned out to be a pyrrhic one, because all these three for months, the heroic defenders of mariupol restrained the most combat-ready russian troops. it is quite likely that the front line on this part of the russian-ukrainian front should have passed along the dnieper, accordingly, the russian control should have passed to the left the bank of the dnieper in the zaporozhye region, respectively, because they could have gone to the dnipro region, that is, the situation would have become much more complicated , then in the most difficult spring months of the war, the defenders completed two tasks, stopped the enemy and

created the conditions for the next step. step forward. this was a truly unique operation that unfolded on the opposite the borders of ukraine from the beginning, the enemy swallowed a hook and believed that they were preparing an attack on kherson . already after that, the attack on kherson began, or rather the liberation of the city, which the russians considered the center of the new russian province invented by them. vladyslav seleznyov says kharkivskyi. the kherson operation proved the correctness of the ukrainian non-standard approach to conducting modern warfare. it is obvious that the actions of the ukrainian defense force were systematized, planned and synchronized . all these actions within the framework of a unified defense plan, the situation is always very dynamic and it is a certain mirosh - fast-moving, that is, the reaction of the ukrainian defense force she was right there where it was needed and did not take place according to

some absolute pattern, there is another operation that has been ongoing and will continue until the complete liberation of ukraine, it is secret and is not mentioned very often, only when seen here are such shots mamulichka come on - these are joint actions of our special operations forces and partisans, any cotton that happens on the territory of the crimea, on the territory of the south of the zaporozhian kherson region, in the donetsk region and in the luhansk region, it does not happen by chance; in this process , preparation precedes and these operations also are gradually nullifying all the efforts of the russians and at the same time bringing a difficult, bitterly bloody but ukrainian victory closer believe in the armed forces and comment on this story we were with you facts of the week see you historic visit this is how the world media describe the unexpected voyage of volodymyr zelenskyi to the

usa, a visit that had several tasks to thank the americans for support for ukraine to check the clocks between washington and kyiv and ask for more weapons to end the war with our victory in terms of the symbols and emotions that accompanied this trip from supporting ukraine, everything is fine, the yellow-blue tie of joseph biden and the wild ovation given to zelensky by the representatives of both parties in the congress looked very eloquent , as well as the 45 billion dollars that the united states has set aside in its budget for ukraine for the next year, the americans understand that soon a new phase of this there will be wars and weapons, so far without abrams and long-range missiles, but i am sure it is a matter of time, with their courage on the battlefield, ukrainians have already broken many taboos and their own attitude towards us in the world quite aptly conveys the inscription near one of the stations of the new york subway i thought i knew

what bravery was, but then i saw ukraine as ukraine, thanks to its bravery, became a global political trend, let me remind you of artem kulya ukraine as a global trend we stand, we fight and we will win, how did the attitude change? there is no such army in general, what events did they do with the key player on whom we pay is measured in money, while ukrainians pay with their blood and how the international popularity of ukraine brings victory closer i believe that ukraine will liberate crimea by the end of august next year, this year ukraine became the headliner of all world changes, obviously because of the war, but the attention was constantly focused not because there were battles as such, but thanks to the heroic resistance of the people, as ukraine, with a state that few believed in, was able to become a locomotive of

democracy and as a symbol of the struggle for values, i, artem kulya, will tell you about it further, and you should subscribe to our channel to stay informed. to shake his hand before his speech , a 2-minute ovation, these applauses are primarily for the ukrainian people, who he represents such a solemn reception, the walls of the american parliament have probably not been seen since the visit and visit to churchill in 1941, who also came with the support of the united states. that at such a high level, two and a half hours is the biden congress, both houses, it happens only once a year when the american president gives this state of the union address , this is the format, it is absolutely an exception and the president ruled, the emphasis was on victory, and

the weapons necessary for it were already calculated in the press, that his speech was interrupted 21 times by members of the congress. they agree , their voters saw that they agree with this, concluding the speech, the president handed over to the congress the ukrainian flag received from the bakhmuti fighters, this flag is a symbol of our victory in this war. we stand, we fight, and we we will win because we are united ukraine, america and the whole free world since february 24, the president of ukraine had a say, it seems, in most parliaments of the world,

his speeches at the nato parliamentary assembly, the un general assembly and the european parliament attracted a lot of attention. events such as an international conference in lugano, an international economic forum and a summit of g20 leaders, where the president named 10 conditions for the establishment of peace. it would seem that now no international event does not do without the topic of ukraine, zelensky's speech in the american congress became, as it were, the summation of all the speeches he made during the year and the highest point of ukrainian diplomacy. the standing ovation for the president is an standing ovation for ukraine, which until recently was believed in. to write about the miracle near kyiv that you created because everyone, all the analysts, all the experts, all the intelligence agencies of the world said, well, for three days, let's not give anything away because, well,

you showed, you inspired everyone first the invasion of ukraine does not leave the sleepers of world changes. but among the flow of news, the most expressive materials about the heroism of the ukrainian people recently became the most expressive. four qualities of ukrainians: heroism, courage, ingenuity and resilience, ukrainians have shown that lies can be exposed, terror can be resisted, their struggle is far from over, but their example is in 2022 year was unsurpassed. glory to ukraine, but the most important quality that ukraine is now associated with in the civilized world is definitely courage, it is now a national brand in the country, the courage of all ukrainians , from the armed forces who perform feats on

the battlefield every day, displacing the enemy, to ordinary people who went to tanks with their bare hands and went to rallies in the temporarily occupied territories brought ukraine to the position of a strong player in world politics. on may 9, joe biden signs the lend-lease law, which drew an analogy with the resistance to fascism in the second world war ii, when the usa last used this mechanism, at the same time , meetings of defense ministers of western countries played a key role in the supply of weapons in the rammstein exe format. by turkish drones and hit the flagship ship. all these things, innovation, creativity, understanding how to use technology convinced most of us in the west that ukraine can master any new weapon, practically use it and quickly integrate it, however, the right to the most effective weapons of ukraine in the

tinger was considered a provocation by putin with the start of a full-scale war, the same was said about the heimers, and the m-77 howitzers are still in the ranks, helping to dislodge the invaders 9 months ago, the usa categorically denied the transfer of ppatriot systems to ukraine, now they will send them to ukraine. you are a single nation, you are the only nation in the world that today uses almost all military technologies, there is no such nation on the planet at all the army is nowhere zelensky said very well thank you for petrivtsi we need a little more and where are the tanks and where are the planes for victory it is necessary he always chooses good moments so it is necessary to get it you need to get modern tanks the advantage will be such that these russian tanks simply can not beat our tanks america, from

those abrams tanks and german leopard tanks, will definitely be one of the first targets of ukraine at the beginning of next year, the relations between ukraine and germany in general have become the main political breakthrough of the 2022 decision to the bundestag to hand over modern air defense systems to ukraine, iristi is almost the greatest diplomatic achievement of ukraine, the attitude towards a full-scale war is also changing on the part of the nato leadership, if on the eve of the invasion yen-stoltenberg spoke about the fact that escalation and conflict cannot be allowed under any circumstances, now his rhetoric is much more decisively your all pine price we really pay a high price for the russian war of aggression against ukraine but the price we pay is measured in money while the ukrainians pay with their blood and if we let putin win. we will all pay a higher price for many years to come if the west continues to support ukraine and everything we

said . the process is evidenced by an unprecedented number of visits by foreign leaders, which began almost two weeks after the beginning of the invasion, the first swallow became the heads of the governments of poland, the czech republic, and slovenia. in early april, the president visited kyiv of the european parliament, robert metzol, and then jose borelli, ursula von derlyalian, but the real boom in visiting ukraine began after the visit of boris johnson on april 9. since then , it has become rare for western politicians to visit ukraine. to ukraine on the second attempt, after finally saying goodbye to my illusions about russia, i myself made

all the visits to kyiv, but i always took all trips french germans italians spanish portuguese i just looked at their faces in buch in irpen and then when you go with them on the train back they are just stunned they can't believe what they are seeing this doesn't exist in the normal world this is how people behave this is very important to personally feel this reality, to live in this cold, dark kyiv because, well, they have all their humanity protesting against it, in addition to the politicians of ukraine, hollywood stars jessica chastain, angelina jolie, sean penn, liv schweiber, ben stever and jean-claude van damme glory to ukraine director of the last film about bond 007 no time to die karifokunaga visited ukraine as a volunteer of the vors-center kition company playwright was vilmon known as the screenwriter of the american series house of cards came to ukraine and filmed the consequences of the

brutal atrocities of the russians in the kyiv region and this shows about the fact that ukraine will believe in the democratic world, says the deputy of the seimov dvige yemantas pavillionis to kyiv until february to kyiv until february of this year look at all the reports in the world well, about 15 years to be exact or 16 even for 17 years, democracy was dying on the planet everywhere, everywhere, all these putinists, fascists, communists, all kinds of stupid thieves who kill everyone and only love their chair like lukashenko, killing everyone else, they grew and you stopped it on the longest night of 2022, at the most famous sights of the world, they turned off the lighting in order to to support the ukrainians who are sitting in the bokat, the fact that many countries of the world are trying to be in touch with ukraine shows that it has become not only a political trend, but also a global one, the history of the ukrainian struggle for freedom and courage of the ukrainian people not only inspires other countries but also changes the world order ukraine

has proven that it can not only support western values ​​but also be their locomotive ukraine is known all over the world unfortunately, thanks to the war, but with the world trend, it became well-deserved artem kulya facts of the week ictv - the only news is that this year changed our lives a lot and forced us to look for new solutions in all areas. facts of the week launched our own youtube channel and in a few months we have already collected 10 thousand subscribers. i am extremely grateful to each of to each of you for your likes for your subscription for your comments - it really helps us to be more interesting to hear you understand that you are interested in preparing for you cool materials about the most important things in our lives and not only on sundays, subscribe to us so as not to miss

the main brave a troll of the highest level, a local deputy of one of the st. petersburg districts of the russian federation, yak ta duferiv, wrote a statement to the prosecutor general's office of the russian federation. here it was just published on twitter with a request to check the speech of vladimir putin for criminal charges fake pro-russian army articles, because the bunker grandfather called a special military operation a war for the second time this week and said, quote, our goal is not to swing the flywheel but to end this war. if this is what the deputy writes, there was no decree ending the world war, and several thousand people have already been convicted in russia under similar articles well, what shines in this st. petersburg daredevil, we can only guess, but we are currently more interested in how and why

the rhetoric of vladimir putin changed from february 24, so how did the mood in the kremlin change from of the beginning of a full-scale invasion of ukraine , all the twists and turns of the agreement, alliances and versions were collected by oksana dvoretska, from the ice blitz to the protracted war and mobilization, how putin changed his goals and rhetoric during his invasion of ukraine, we went crazy, what did the kremlin dictator miscalculate, they brought yanukovych to belarus and thought that the ukrainian government will overthrow the president's government, why does propaganda no longer talk about denazification, they can't , and why did putin himself begin to call the invasion of ukraine a war with nato, russians can explain why small ukraine big russia can't capture already almost a whole hour

february 24 at dawn ukrainians wake up to the explosions of russian bombs minutes before putin announces the invasion of ukraine i made the decision to conduct a military operation the attack on a neighboring country putin explained by protecting the mythical of the peoples of donbas, people who have been subjected to pure genocide by the kyiv regime for 8 years, he gathered to strengthen the recognition of the independence of terrorist groups of the people's republic of ukraine to actually connect all your surroundings with this war, this is the facts of the week, subscribe to youtube to know more, these are the dozen or so henchmen of the bunker dictator, with whom he

coordinated the invasion of ukraine, sluggishly tried to persuade putin to continue negotiations with the west, chief intelligence officer naryshkin, speak directly yes, perhaps, chief intelligence officer knew that no one would meet the tanks of the russian occupiers with flowers in kyiv, because putin himself expected just such a scenario, political scientist volodymyr fesenko is convinced that they are designed for more cry and it was not by chance that it was called a special military operation because putin was counting on a big and long war, but he was counting on the well-known russian proverb otknia well, it will fall apart. he thought that everything would be quick, but because of internal contradictions, it turned out to be the exact opposite, putin's war against ukraine it consolidated ukrainian society, and in the first days of the invasion, putin frankly did not want to notice the fierce resistance of the ukrainians to the builder, and

while the armed forces of ukraine were devastatingly destroying his elite airborne troops at the airfields near kyiv, the bunker did the helmsmen still hope for their plan of a quick overthrow of the government in the ukrainian capital ? it did not work out, putin miscalculated, and in the reaction of the west in the kremlin, they expected that ukraine would capitulate, and against this background, the europeans and even the americans would stay away, and it turned out like this obviously believed that it would be the same toothless

reaction as it was after georgia or after crimea when sanctions were introduced but they were introduced gradually and this allowed the russian economy to adapt to them and secondly they were not critical and the current sanctions are of course much tougher but the main thing let's say this a surprise for putin in that the west saw that ukraine was ready to resist and decided to supply modern weapons to russia itself. putin's aggression against ukraine first caused a series of not too massive protests and fines and criminal responsibility for the discrediting of the russian army quickly minimized anti-war sentiments, the absolute majority of russians continued to consume zeta’s delusional propaganda and became ill by analogy with nazi germany, it became wildly

popular, although some narratives were so far beyond common sense that it lasted only a month, russian television told tales about biolaboratories where they cook war geese and mosquitoes, tim was infected, he calculated all the flight paths through russia, it is not clear that this is the minimum, and here i am from 11 nosification, the failure of the offensive on kyiv propaganda reduced the victorious rhetoric, a larger european state, a month , a special operation will take over the country, so quickly it is understood as a failure in the war, the verbal spies of disaffected russians flew to shoigu

that spring, even from the public space, allegedly agreed with the heart attack and ani of his flagrant marshal putin did not write off the chief of the general staff, shoygun gerasimov, because that would mean admitting his own failure. in the end, he appointed his old favorite, who was distinguished by total destruction , as the commander of the war in ukraine. of entire cities in syria general surovykin, we are ready for any pastel task you have with this purpose, missile strikes on ukrainian cities have been intensified, the signature handwriting of sorovikin , the battle, although this victory did not bring putin's army a step of goodwill, the armed forces of the russian federation have completed the implementation of the tasks set on the island of the modified kro of goodwill and negative attack frequent shale, fearing to announce mobilization, putin actively involved his cook yevgeny prigozhin in the war, he

began to recruit prisoners for the role of cannon fodder everyone there is chechen and so on, it’s not like in september the armed forces of ukraine liberated most of the occupied kharkiv region ukraine seized the initiative on the battlefield the image of the defender of donbass who never succeeded in capturing putin had to change convinced the appearance of russian troops near kiev and in other cities of ukraine is not related to the intention to occupy this country we have no such goal at the end of september putin announced the annexation of four ukrainian regions when he was faced with humiliation when he was no longer perceived as a great and victorious leader of september on these very shores, then he decided to show his greatness again, to show

how great he is and how this is an indicator, but only a political decision in this case had to be about joining russia temporarily occupied and incompletely occupied regions, the annexation of ukrainian territories should quell the dissatisfaction of the russians. after the announcement of mobilization, even those who supported putin's invasion were not ready to fight, unfortunately they became before this war, before supporting my army, i would. you know, like football or hockey, ours should be supported by our winners, but ours don’t win, and here mobilization began, mobilization, and here they were alarmed by a jump in anxiety, two-thirds of russians are alarmed. and although there are large-scale protests, this mobilization is the essence of nuclear rhetoric which putin

started a few months ago against the background of clear failures in ukraine has gradually come to naught. and although there are still statements from experts in the west about certain risks due to kyiv's plans for the deoccupation of crimea, volodymyr fesenko is confident a nuke for putin is a taboo it seems that both public and especially not publicly unofficial warnings were put forward towards putin, which could be due to the use of tactical nuclear weapons, moreover , not only the west began to put forward warnings, even all ringers close to putin's press and an alleged political partner stated that the use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible and the lviv karmanych understood such messages well, as evidenced by his latest statements, we left in a state of confusion . nuclear weapons for this means we have them and they are more
