there is no reason for this, when you feel her pain while watching the interview, you ask the question why, what, what is the meaning of all those tortures , was it some military goal that they sought to achieve, no, but why is this cruelty that is being carried by the russian invasion and we see it again and again, and in different territories in ukraine, what is the overall purpose for what from the russian perspective, why do they do it, so they want children to occupy regions, to control certain regions , but why is this actually no logic in i did not see this, but actually this brutality, brutality, meaningless brutality and brutality, what the russian army carries with

it, this is really what impresses me the most . weeks ago was in bakhmut and we continued to travel through these areas in fact most of the cents were just taken there bakhmut share your feeling your impression about this ukrainian verdun verdun it was a fortress city since the first world war. artillery in various formats was also used there at an unprecedented level, yes, and mortar shelling. how did you feel what was happening in bakhmut and under bakhmut from your

experience? so when i was in bakhmut in such an environment, it was just so very it's scary, we know, in fact, almost nothing will be left there. people, what kind of people are there in bakhmut, we are talking about civilian residents of bakhmut, we understand that there are not many of them, but you said to them that what impressed you the most is the experience of communicating with those people, because really somewhere yes, there is such a residential building in the center of the city. almost no one lives there anymore. but

there are about 20 people who still live there. they cook food together . to talk for quite a long time . yes, a rather large part of the film is devoted to their conversations about how their lives disappeared, how their city disappeared, what is it like to talk to such people, and i have already had the opportunity to talk with many of them, they do not see how it is possible rebuild the city. they think that it is really easier to rebuild from scratch because it is impossible to make any repairs, considering the net consequences and the destruction. in fact, there were certain ukrainians who were pro-russian

. i spoke with them. they did not want to give an interview on camera, but i had the opportunity to talk to them and i was really struck by the fact that they really did not expect that the russians did not plan that the russians would attack like this, they did not expect this, they say that we do not see any russians they refuse everything, they do not believe that the russians could do such a thing, and in fact i couldn't believe what i was hearing about a certain part of the population who are still pro-russian and really i had the opportunity to conduct interviews with various people in bakhmut file and all of them if i i can describe them, their state, they were in a state of shock, so they talked to me the way i am talking to you, but they were in a state of shock, those men who

were cooking food together, they somehow walk around the yard like this, not knowing where they are, the children what to do, what to say, uncle, the horse of hell they eat like that. they somehow survive, but in reality they don't live like that. i had the experience of communicating with people who left, for example, mariupol, who were in the drama theater when the russians dropped a bomb there, and i understand what is being said, it is about people who are actually shadows, that is, from people a shell remains and i don't know when they will be able to restore themselves from the inside, because the russians not only kill the bodies of the russians with such massive shelling very often, they don't teach the souls, this is a huge problem for people, i don't know how long it will take, what kind of therapy to those people who experienced this front-line terrible

story, what concerns, for example , extreme situations during filming, tell us. yes, we understand that front-line shooting is not only about the statistics of shooting . yes, it is a dynamic, it is shelling, and let's say for sure, very often we have to completely redo the script when i went there, i thought so. i'm not ukrainian, and i was also shooting another film, but i'm a foreigner. i expected that people wouldn't want to talk to me, so i thought it would be difficult, but in reality, it turned out to be something completely opposite . people wanted to talk to me. they came

to me because they had a need, an inner need to talk. they wanted to somehow remove a stone from their soul and actually tell someone what they experienced, so i think that it is very important for someone who makes a documentary, my main the goal was not to create some kind of hypothesis, some theory, ugu wanted to actually stand in the place of those people, to give them the opportunity to talk to people who survived the occupation. and this is actually what this film is about. their stories and they really emphasize they want to talk some of them can't be stopped they share their experiences like this and that's how they talk about something like that and they even

thought that i wouldn't make it into the film but we understand that we have a team and we understand that we understand that these people actually did not have enough food for a month. so we just sit down and talk with them about what they eat and the like, and they tell me about what they felt. and from the point of view of a journalist. so it was a privilege for i really like the situation developed. was it more accurate in communication with our military? yes, we understand that there are certain rules established by military discipline. so here comes a person with a camera to the front line and says i want to shoot how did it manage to realize this film, so to speak, taking into account those strict the realities of the work of a cinematographer on the front line oh well, amen, just go to the

front line and start shooting a film. that's impossible. in fact, i have a certain accreditation . second, every time i go to the front line , the printing area, i am accompanied by the press i am accompanied by the ukrainian military press and so on. it's not that i just wanted to and i go where i want and shoot what i want. i was always accompanied by a responsible person, respectively, thanks to those connections. i had already shot a film in ukraine so far. it was easier for me now, i understand how important the work of the authors of documentary films is, in particular, it is about the russian-ukrainian war, and here the key task, so to speak, is to convey the truth about the war to the anglo-saxon world, to the

united states of america, to great britain but not to the elites, but to ordinary people. accordingly , we understand that all over the world, in the great countries, people mostly have their own problems, and the war between ukraine and russia is somewhere far away for them. and were influenced by that, and the reason, in fact, why i started shooting this film, and accordingly the film will be 90 minutes long. actually, there are ukrainians who survived the russian occupation. they can express themselves. my goal as a director was to give them the opportunity . and for their voice to be heard, others heard about the russian regime during the occupation and i hope that the film conveys what i wanted i hope that

people will hear that and feel what this film carries in themselves will feel the reality of the reality of what is happening this is a very simple goal i do not allow people to express themselves about their experience and actually hearing this experience, you can't think of anything else but their pain during war crimes. thank you very much for making this film. i thank you very much for the way you made it. i am very impressed by your attitude to the frame and to conversations with people i think it will be an extremely important job . once again, just thank you. as a person who works on television, he knows how difficult it is to shoot such things. thank you again. mark gamont, american director, producer, screenwriter

, author of the film. zone zero, a film shot on documentary events from the front line. we are going. next 15 hours 41 minutes, and with mark hammond we discussed an extremely important story, in particular, it is about life, first of all, in the front-line places and areas of ukraine, so to speak, on the other hand, there is more and the life of the military, the new ukrainian army is just a formula, it is about a fundamentally qualitative change in relations within this great military collective, it is about providing fundamentally new weapons, about how the ukrainian army has changed over these months, and how the attitude towards it has changed in the world, let's see in a small plot of my colleagues more than 95%, this is the level of trust of ukrainians in the armed forces today and this is the

best assessment of the ukrainian army since february 24 in a recently published report by the royal united defense institute of research, a respected british analytical center claims that it was the professional and inventive actions of the armed forces, in particular, ukrainian artillerymen, and not the javelins of stingharich enlau, that played a decisive role in the defense of kyiv at the beginning of the war. of the army already in the first half of the year , the armed forces received several dozens of salvo missile systems, including himers and mars, two of which changed the course of the war accurately destroying targets located at a distance of up to 80 km, the transition of the ukrainian army to nato caliber

155 mm artillery was extremely important hundreds of artillery systems from partners, in particular the american em-77, the french caesars and the polish crabs reduced the fire superiority of the enemy, hundreds of armored personnel carriers, in particular the austrian burschmasters, helped liberate kharkiv and in tank complexes such as the legendary javelin did not knock out the enemy's tank power more than a thousand portable anti-aircraft missile complexes, the most famous of which is the stinger shoot down not only enemy planes and helicopters , but also missiles. however, the allies are still wary of giving ukraine some types of weapons, primarily modern tanks such as the german leopard 2 and the french leclep and

modern aircraft such as the american f-16. the allies will soon end this evolutionary path that you and i could not have imagined a year ago that we would have a volley fire system in which, let it be 270 or 155 caliber, our partners are very practical, pragmatic and realistic, so they clearly understand that if they give a new system, they will realize that they have ammunition for them in their warehouses or missiles and a repair system, there are instructors and our guys are trained, well, it is also strengthening air defense, the first state-of-the-art complex of the german system is already ready works in ukraine and, as they say, knocks down servicemen 9 out of 10 targets in a rapid succession american and norwegian sams systems and hop systems ukrainian army quickly adopts nato standards and it is not only about weapons, but also about logistics and the military management system, all

this will help ukraine to win, i want to thank my colleagues for this extremely powerful energy story, there are models of the 15th hour and 45 minutes. to ukraine, ivan, i congratulate you on the new year, so to speak. well, the problems are old, in particular, it is about russian aggression against you and me, and the enemy used, so to speak, possibly a new one tactics, in particular, we are talking about massive shahedis, but the impression is that they would not only want to strike at our energy infrastructure, perhaps their task is additional and not so obvious, this is an attempt, so to speak, so that we will begin to use all our anti-missile systems to the maximum. i think, when

the russians are going for new attacks only on khedim, but they do not put these wider than just strikes on the energy infrastructure, but here, in fact , it is not actually in the number of spent missiles. well, because how are we talking around everywhere, so what do they say when the russians launch a pedestrian and we spend too many rockets, we are in a pedestrian concept that it is like a game in such an intense war, it is possible to use economical and effective, maybe because the sparks are so already i did not like the fact that nasoms complexes were used for the shaheds, but here you can ask in absentia, for example, when the united states sold about 300 missiles and they sold 120 to saudi arabia to shoot down exactly 130 of the same martyrs , so it did not look expensive, but on in our case, it looks like expenses, well, it's not me, now

they are planning one. they hit even civilian objects there, residential quarters or when they can give transport objects there, we use them for a peaceful life according to lix's ideas, it seems to serve us for defense, according to them hmm let's say so changing like this, the use of anti-aircraft guns is trying to kill at such objects, well , unfortunately, everything in them is subject to such a candlestick logic, therefore, unfortunately, we have to expect that such terrorist attacks, and precisely at night, and they were introduced in large cities and with the use of chemical weapons, unfortunately , we should wait in the future and they will drag on at least. well, this is the season of the new year's holidays, or cause some damage to our infrastructure, but at the same time shake it, well, let's

write there a psychological or some willful state. well, roughly speaking, eh it's good for all of us to work, it's on my nerves, well , in any case, ivana, i agree with you , so, well, saving in order to shoot down russian ballistic missiles or other russian air targets, so saving here is inappropriate because it is about the lives of civilians, in particular, and what the russians lie, inventing some new legends on a regular basis, with which they try to explain their war crimes - this is no secret, that is, they can hit a residential building and then some lying konashenko of theirs will start hanging noodles on their ears it is not even known to anyone, because he has already. simply, no one believes that there would be a flight control center there, and so on. well, it is not known what was being prepared there. but in any case, a message came from our military. so that's all i had to reload unrealistically often on my own, it

worked on hurray, maybe there are some prospects to get additional pump installations ivan kyrychevskyi defense express yes yes, you know, we just had a good time getting out, because judging by the fact that there is nothing to charge the complex, we are there in combat conditions, in principle, no one has had to do this. that is, so far, this is not just the first case. in our country, it is a case of application under komsomol conditions. that is, there is a war of ukraine against russia. it works. it was probably the first time that this complex was surprised. position is the transport charging of the machine and their rockets had to be recharged directly there in such a med extreme regime. especially since it could even be accompanied by a risk for our observers because in fact when i now the russians are making another attack on our territory, they are trying to

identify our anti-aircraft weapons there, to hit them, to use the remnants of their soviet missiles of the type a 59k-31 for tactical aviation, so eh well, in fact, if we are not the only ones here, our employees revealed the border to such a technique, which until now no one guesses what you did, it was impossible to reload in conditions of potential danger, because the logic is in general, if there is a potential, someone went there to safety, they shot, you have to change your position on the run, don't reload, well, i'll tell you, mr. ivan you know, if it's true, if they really called the children byraktars, so to speak, well, now it may be a trend to call them sams, exactly sams, they work extremely well not only , of course, sams, but what they are . explain to our viewers the system that saved more than a dozen this new year's eve of our lives, it can be noted

that there is used aviation missile cool air am120 i delivered for now the course of the ground launcher in principle especially all western mirrors in that there well, what are the specialized missiles used for? they are designed specifically for anti-aircraft systems, and there are used aviation missiles that can be hung wildly on a fighter there like in 16-15 with the same success, and let’s say they use the launcher, the features of our damn that they were developed primarily to knock down the bed of the enemy critic and unmanned aerial vehicles. well, of course, there are nomenclature planes too. it’s just that nobody’s doctrine of modern war foresees, first of all, reliance on missiles and uavs. well, let’s talk about the level of quality such complexes well, let's say the level of trust of the americans themselves in the ttx of the pump is generally evidenced by the fact that these two batteries of these zrks are not even worn,

namely the new chaplinkams for the white house, which, roughly speaking, cover the american government quarter. that is, it turns out that they even consider the heir we are waiting for a request because if everything was done there if on the basis of perfecting technologies on the basis of the corresponding missiles and accordingly the connection is not too stable with us in communication ivan kyrychevsky military defense express expert, let's hope that now it will be possible to re-comment with mr. ivan, as if the editors will now do it, an important message from poland's post-presidency in the united nations organization, shish-tovshcherski believes that western attempts to save putin's face will only finally finish the international order which took place after the second world war, panchersky said in an interview with the

polish press agency. quoting for the content of peace, the most important question is how the issues with russia will be resolved, or is it possible that russian imperialism will be recognized as an ideology that threatens the world order on the same basis on which german nazism was recognized at one time. because if this happened, it would open the way to repeating the decisions of the after the end of the second world war, it is about depriving russia of the tools to play the role of a global superpower , including in the organization of the united nations , submitting to the international military court criminals in uniforms and suits, including putin, the payment of war reparations and other similar measures, if, according to mr. shchersky , the option of bringing order to save putin's face prevails, it may become the last nail in the poisonous post-war order symbolized by the principles of

the united nations charter. ivan kyrychevsky is with us i hope to be in touch, mr. ivan, i would like to ask you about the enemy ship group in the black sea, they regularly withdraw ships, very often there is information that there is only one caliber missile carrier, what caliber missiles in the current situation can, so to speak, bring something fundamentally new, yes, taking into account the simple, well, massive missile terror that russia inflicts quite regularly, although this feeling is that they are gradually running out of supplies. so what is being done with their strategic missile stockpile you know there is such a nz untouched reserve and what role can the caliber play, well, besides. so why are they still showing off so much about the english-

style bar, we caliber purely because before the war , after all, on winged packages, it was the caliber in the stock of them was the largest there, and the pace of production was correspondingly better there, except that already during the full-scale invasion, the russians somehow leveled the situation so much that they began to manufacture missiles of pakhal 101 air or rank more than those of marine calibers, eh, they rely on the caliber that in the first firstly, and secondly, well, you know, it’s somehow purely propaganda- based, caliber is still one word, uh, how there in the index, which is 101, that’s about how many there are three words, respectively, caliber, when it ’s bad, it’s easier to use, telling that how are they now arranging something here, why the russians sometimes arrange but where does it take the tactics, then one ship at a constant caliber from there to a dozen other ships or not taking out any at all, or taking out several ships demonstratively, did not sit there, and

then taking them back well, here, first of all, they can perform two tasks, and the first is to try to confuse our air defense that we so that we start reacting accordingly, and secondly, there is no factor of revolutionary sailors in a week after several such major failures, such as the sinking of the moscow cruiser and er, several sets of black-on-leash activity, so that they are no longer just standing there and, accordingly, busy with something personnel, so that he does not start occupying, well , thinking, asking questions. and yesterday, mr. ivan, i would like to ask you about the make-up, that is, already confirmed information that our armed forces inflicted a painful targeted strike on the site of a concentrated

enemy deployments, the only thing is that the numbers differ, but i, without a doubt, believe our general staff much more than some unofficial guess, our military claims that about four hundred and two hundred russian interveners, well, a lot of wounded. what do you think happened there from a military review, that is, what the russians are so stupid, the russian military, so they concentrated them there, or maybe some other mechanism worked, well, first of all, our intelligence works well there, and it sounded sunny . it works in very unexpected places, because once already there, the russians are starting to recognize directly, before the heimers strike, someone unknown fired a salute near the barracks so that some mobsters would run around and save their lives, well, that is, they russians, in principle, did not expect that someone from the resistance lesson would appear there, it is from special operations. the second

time, obviously, russia did not think that the rear base was so deep for them. they also drove not just some mobilized people there, who will give out an old machine gun and electricity in a fairy tale. special operations for that, that is, there are some special forces and uh, they drove there communications specialists, we drove there some of our own, yes, for capital people, roughly speaking, they were not some rowdy mobs, but like some of them there. well, the elderly and military you are not one of the rank-and-file or mobs who would have to kill the skeleton for some reason, there is an intelligence connection and the like, now it turns out that these moves why would they who should provide the skeleton of the occupation troops are not there ? rose so high because what if it was just a party there. well, what do they call the marshal, replenishment with small arms, they would simply be for themselves, so it is very difficult for them. attack, catastrophic

conditions, a blow with such because they are very much specialists, whose plans for two months for this exhaust and extremely useful analysis ivan kyrychevsky military expert group defenseexpress well, the former commander of the united states army in europe lieutenant general ben-hodgens predicts that ukraine will liberate crimea occupied by russia by the end of august if the west will continue to provide the promised aid and maintain sanctions against russia at 4:00 p.m. i will hand over the floor to our newsroom
