of this city government from businessmen who want to build something in the city center, who has been to odesa and seen that we have big problems with this, there are already several historical monuments , buildings have been destroyed, but now it will happen well, i would say that it is more difficult well, because all decisions that will be made regarding the historical center as well as regarding the buffer zone, which is quite large there, more than a thousand hectares , they will be made only with the permission of the ministry of culture, it is obvious that it is also possible to negotiate with the ministry of culture but this is already more difficult and will be established rules, what can be done, what can't be done in the historical center. i really hope that these will be the rules also regarding air conditioners, plastic balconies, advertising, well , everything that we don't like. well, i don't want to say more. so, look in 2009 the central part of the city was nominated for inclusion in the list, but only in 2009, 13 years, 14 years later, in fact, maybe

plus or minus. or how? i will say that there is somewhere that existed in 2009, it was quite weak and for unesco it is important that there is not just something historical and old there, but that it is unique and we had to prove that we have something unique and now for this dossier was taken up again and reworked it and proved that odessa is a unique city because it is the last city that was originally planned with such an even grid of neighborhoods and it is also such a multicultural city and by the way odessa in the 1830s grew the fastest in the world and after that after consulting with historians, we... were able to take advantage of this window of opportunity when there is attention to ukraine and to do it by speeding up the procedure. i would like to talk about life in odessa in general, what is it like

today, how is it felt there, well, besides missile threats, today is a war, what is the main , main, main work of odessa and odesa in this war at one time odessa was a rear for er for mykolaiv, which supplied water and other products necessary for the city to function normally under enemy fire of course, no one has canceled the possible and possible threats from the sea, well, that is, it also exists. i think that odessa in this sense also continues to be our southern sea outpost, please. yes, of course, we have naval forces here, they are functioning in them, there are anti-ship missiles in i have acquaintances in the military who are engaged in this, that is, this work is also going on. as for the people, well, the civilian sector, we have the main problem. well, like everyone else, it’s with winter, with generators, with

my children, energy, and most importantly, what will happen if there is a big minus. temperature and no there will be electricity, how will the boiler houses function, and one task that the lower authorities are solving now is the search, i wouldn’t even say the purchase, the search for generators all over the world so that these boiler houses will work if there is no electricity, because if the boiler house does not work for more than a day, then you need to drain the water there entire quarters can be left without heat until spring. please tell me if there is still a problem. so enemy mines are arriving on the shores of odessa, and now there are no such things. in general, people have gotten used to the fact that there is still a sea as a dangerous zone. moreover, well, soon it will be spring, then summer, then the problems will begin again that we are the only ones who want to open the bathing season and somehow do not think about the fact that the war may not be over by this time please well, i'm sure that if the

war doesn't end before the summer and the sea is not demined, then no one will allow swimming because, uh, a few days ago, it seems like three or four zno planted fomin and these mines. i think there will be many more. i also want to ask you about these shipments we know that the russians, with special curiosity, i said so, they check those ships that are not from ukraine, what is holding them back, or are there certain problems in the port itself with this or that the ships that are already standing somewhere in the sea are growing. more about this, see this monitoring place. well, it’s called. she works in istanbul and she checks everyone here in the bosphorus. here, what has already reached odessa has already been checked, and i personally see the sea every day and i see that now there are a maximum of 3-4 ships on the rink, although i used to get there in the fall

somewhere between 17-19, that is, the russians create obstacles for us here, but the port is working. yes, i thank you very much, mr. peter, for separating from our era. thank you very much for your comments. and petro obukhov, deputy odesa city council was with us, was in touch with us, and now we have another material for your attention, just a second, i see it, i will offer it to you. united states of america 31 avrams tank on 400 million dollars of the president of ukraine was fulfilled 45 years ago, he went from a comedian to one of the most famous politicians of our time, the most interesting facts from the biography of volodymyr zelensky in our story, few doubt that after the war, the biography of volodymyr zelensky will be filmed, because

the plot twists of the life of the sixth president of ukraine are like a hollywood blockbuster from which don't break away year 1978 in an ordinary kryvyi rih family a boy was born who was named volodymyr he grew up lively and even riotous a bit hooligan because kryvyi rih in the 80s was a city of youth gangs, in the end, his father, a professor at a local university, enrolled the boy in the faculty of economics. zelenskyi received a higher education, but he only worked for two months during his university internship . zelenskyi turned into a business card the fact that our young team from kryvyi rih got into a holoconcert. 2005, the star of the 95th quarter of the media empire created by zelenskyi from the production of entertainment content after the orange

revolution, the country is sharply politicized and the quarter catches the wave parodying and sometimes bringing it to the point of absurdity ukrainian political life is already crazy can you become president and not steal rhetorical question 2015 the first show of the series servant of the people on ukrainian television zelenskyy plays history teachers vasyl holoborodek who wins the presidential election and challenges the corrupt system, the ratings of the series are skyrocketing, zelenskyi's popularity is at its peak and here a sharp turn of the plot i am running for president of ukraine in 2019 a comedian enters the election race and immediately breaks into the leaders argument he is a clown and has no political experience does not make an impression on the voters how proud of you next convincing victory in the presidential and parliamentary elections for the first time almost all the power in the country is in

the hands of one political force. the first years of zelenskyi's real presidency, chaotic reform attempts are intertwined with numerous scandals surrounding the members of the presidential team, the situation is complicated the coronavirus pandemic is becoming the first global challenge for zelenskyi, i wish you 36.6 let's take care of ourselves february 24, 2022 the first rockets hit ukraine and russian convoys go to kyiv american intelligence gives the ukrainian capital 72 hours and warns zelenskyi that he is the number one target for the russian army president biden offers evacuation zelensky's answer i need a gun, not a taxi we are all here our military is here citizens of society are here we are all here defending our independence 336 days zelensky supreme commander of the army which resists the aggressor, now he rarely

smiles and on his desk, instead of detectives dan brown and boris akunin, journalists noticed an essay on the history of the ukrainian people by mykhailo hrushevskyi and a monograph hitler and stalin tyrants and the second world war in english by the historian la urenzaris ukrainians, powerful ukrainians, brave ukrainians on a peculiar land and it will never be given to anyone . zelensky celebrates his 45th anniversary at the peak of his popularity, now not only in ukraine but also in the world, the parliaments of the world give him a standing ovation, and time magazine named him man of the year as the personification of the ukrainian spirit , this is no longer a movie zelenskyi made his choice zelenskyi made his choice and in fact together with the ukrainian people on that window day february 24, 2002, well now we are all together and

also greetings from the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi many summers strength, health, wisdom, patience and impatience with corruption, theft and other things that also sometimes happen in our lives, because you can win only together with a leader you believe in and with a leader who believes in your people, yes, less than a minute, serhiy zgurets, join the broadcast, we will talk about the military. the results of the day, wait, we will listen to people suffering from rheumatism and arthrosis, my grandchildren, my love, if you have time, your hands won't hurt so much. i have everything ready, ask at the pharmacies we wish you health and the pharmacy of your

family of films, each of which will tell about one of the ukrainian artists, artists who did not go abroad and continue their creative path. in ukraine, there is such an impression that history just entered now, yes, in some such uh, this moment where everything simply gathered in it like a linear that's what happened there that we remember then, it was a kind of drag, and now it's like it's all at one moment and we see that everything is repeating itself, but how the place and meaning of the artist and his work change. in a country that is at war, see in the new telecycles from docnotfield studio and babylon 13 association art in the country of war from january 16 on weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 on espresso well, let's get back to the

conversation and i will now be joined by my colleague serhiy zgurets i am the director the defense express agency, the hosts of this program, the military summaries of the day, serhiy, i congratulate you, vasyl , i congratulate our viewers, i think that you also listened to the statement of joe biden, will you say more about this , and about many other things that our viewers expect, which are related to the war, be please, today we will talk about the specifics of the transfer of american tanks to ukraine, which are a really good gift for the president and for ukraine itself, and also about how it will affect the combat operations on the front line, we will talk about this in a moment, so we can say with confidence that february 25 - this is such a positive-tank day for ukraine, because it is january, this day provides us with qualitative changes on our front line, they will make

before the supply of new weapons, the president of the eastern states, jobiden, confirmed on wednesday the intention to transfer 31 abrams tanks to ukraine as part of an agreement worth $400 million, president badin said that this decision was agreed upon by the allies and that this aid will be supplemented by other packages of military aid , together with tanks from the entire state, they will ensure the training of the ukrainian military and provide spare parts. biden noted that this will be a certain time that will also be used for the integration of western tanks into the ukrainian army vs. more details about the tank package were not said, but there is preliminary information that the framework will probably be transferred within the framework of the so-called initiative to promote the security of ukraine, which provides for the purchase of weapons directly from the manufacturer and not the provision of these tanks directly to the reserves of the

united states army, this will affect the time frame for the delivery of these e-tanks, such a step from the united states was probably necessary in order to to finally push germany's decision to transfer its leopard tanks and this really happened on this day, january 25, when germany actually announced that it would make a decision to transfer its leopard tanks to ukraine is talking about a tank gate with a number of 14 tanks, as well as permission to re-export leopard tanks from other countries that can be transferred to the armed forces of ukraine , in general, it was about two tank battalions from the e-e zrod, according to reports in the german press, it is actually about what will happen a total of 80 vehicles were transferred, one battalion will be based on leopard 2a 6 tanks, which today are considered

the most modern tanks from the point of view of technological implementations implemented in these weapons systems, and the other battalion will be formed on two leopard-2 a4 tanks, which somewhat worse. but all the same, they are extremely good from the point of view of those samples, in comparison with which machines will operate on the battlefield, these are german tanks that will be delivered to ukraine, as was announced somewhere before the end of april, and in fact berlin is also undertaking the same to provide ukraine with spare parts and ammunition and to ensure the training of the crews of our armed forces in general. all this affects the increase in the number of tanks in the ukrainian army if we count the actual and promised tanks from britain, 14 challengers as well let's remember about 120 t-72 tanks that are currently being repaired and mobilized in the czech republic, then in general we can talk about 250 tanks that

may arrive in ukraine, but we understand that these are the first steps and there will be more leopards and abrams in the future . from the american for help, we will talk with our guest from the united states - he is a political strategist, a member of the board of directors of the international human rights agency in support yurii ivanitik, mr. yurii, i congratulate you. do you understand the ukrainian language, i will speak in ukrainian, i will answer in russian, i am in ukrainian poorly, i'm sorry, i understand, i'm sorry , i'll ask if this is the only option, it's good for thank you for tuning in to our broadcast, here we all carefully listened to the short speech of the president's speech where he said about helping

ukraine with the delivery of 30 abrams tanks , in your opinion, this is such a point lever of pressure on europe, first of all, on germany, or is it still a step that will be followed by an increase in supplies of american aid, i include an increase in the number of aram tanks, what kind, what is your opinion. in this situation, my opinion is that it is clearly both, it is pressure on europe, because we are leading, as we are setting an example for europe, and this is an important factor a and it 's clear that there will be more weapons and more help. to make er pressure and help here you have honest contact with american congressmen, military politicians, and is it possible to say that now

such painful elements of the supply of weapons, which were previously considered to be up to the red line , are now unblocked for more? it also concerns combat fighters and the weapon system that hits the enemy . then they will revive the heimers that are now in the equipment of the ukrainian army. from what i know, i understand my opinion that yes, that we will have the expansion of support, not from the sea. what kind of rhetoric is more relevant to internal conflicts between democrats and republicans ? america and ukraine are still tied to the development of a strategy in the middle states in relation to the russian federation , because if help and equipment and weapons

are provided quickly, we will quickly lead the russian federation the turn of er creates risks of actions of er russia that are quite unpredictable and in fact there is such a suspicion that aid is balanced with the development of strategies in the states in relation to the russian federation if there are such let's say so er prejudice on the part of the americans regarding aid to ukraine, i will tell you that in our country, many people believe that it is still necessary for russia to somehow negotiate in some way, at least to negotiate at the expense of some kind of cold period. and that's why i i think that especially democracy, but i think that the republicans will press for this, too , so that they can begin to exert strong pressure and support ukraine in all their countries, and then they will still press for some kind of negotiations

, and it appears in the american press recently a publication that says that the ukrainian side actually has to review its policy there in the bahmut zone, it is conducting more er, save the life of er, ukrainian soldiers, well , the general staff does not think so. fractions a-a mainly a-a i think that republication segodnya есть те користые е-е what is the name of the protyak with all the protection szladg and thinks that a-a we should not е-e so actively participate in foreign conflicts a-a что оны как would in

this will put some criticism. and about ukraine , they are in the minority, and the majority believes that this is not just a conflict for the freedom of our colleague, and it is not just a war with aggression, but a war about how the world will function or it will be some kind of colonial-type dictatorship like iran and russia or it will be what was the problematic uh-uh the west with its complex uh-uh but functioning democracy here and on the basis of this uh-uh on the basis of this i i think that this is a minority that speaks and if there is a feeling that there is an american elite there is some kind of fatigue from the hostilities that are taking place in ukraine, because this is something that is mentioned from time to time by the tv

polytechnologist . it grows at the social level, i don’t grow among our politicians a-a and that’s why uh-uh for now what uh-uh we have perception that uh- uh ukrainians are freedom fighters and-uh and it’s not felt at all uh-uh yury thank you for the inclusion in live broadcast of the espresso channel and i would like to remind our viewers that we are co-hosting yuri vanetich, a political strategist from the united states, a member of the board of directors of the international human rights agency west-support, and we are also in touch with viktor kivlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the defense strategy center. viktor, i congratulate you on the espresso channel good evening, i would like to start our conversation actually with the tank issue, because it is the most relevant in view of the

speech of the president of the united states on your assessment and the statement of scholz and the statement of the president of the united states joe biden chi we can say that a new stage in the equipping of the ukrainian armed forces and the arming of our newly formed brigades is actually beginning , the possession of such equipment as the corporal is definitely beginning, implying the acquisition of complex logistics systems, because this tank is very capricious in operation, in addition to the training of the crew, it is necessary to prepare all specialists from repair, maintenance and support related to leopards. this is a much more massive machine that was created in the late 80s as a system that can be serviced by any a european country that is a member of the

nato bloc and, accordingly, the training of crews and the training of repairmen took place according to a single model. once we were accepted into this club by providing such machines, we have not bad prospects. but at the same time, when we talk about the delivery time, the german leopard tanks will arrive there within three months, the delivery time of e-e abrams has not yet been determined. at the same time, i asked your previous colleague about the fact that there are publications in the american press that ukraine should change its approaches and move to a maneuverable war, but it turns out that this maneuverable war should begin only when we receive all the declared reserves that were declared to us as part of those military aid packages. in general, the conduct of maneuverable combat operations, which are

in terms of complexity. apparently, the highest form of tactical art of commanders, the choice of this type of combat operations is influenced not only by the presence of some super weapons uh, mega-techniques and the like, but the terrain, the training of the personnel, the availability of appropriate means of communication, the stability of the control system, well, there are a lot of factors, so if in any direction we have to switch to mobile defense, we will do it at any time when we talk about bakhmut which mentioned these cnn publications about the thesis from which i spoke earlier. in fact, these publications with reference to representatives there and the pentagon there and intelligence of the state department say that these three structures recommended to the president of ukraine to give up the battle

of attrition in bakhmut, just before that, to other methods of hostilities, in your opinion, how exactly should the situation under bakhmut be assessed , because actually the spokesmen of the armed forces of the general staff say that bakhmut is being held and about some there is a departure even inappropriate to say your assessments of this situation as for cnn how would they give such advice while in some basement in bakhmut this is one story how they do it from a warm comfortable office in washington this it's a completely different story if you abstract from the motivational moment of mastering the bakhmut enemy, it changes little and there are few tactical advantages to it, not a single defensive line has been prepared in previous years by the armed forces, and the one who owns the bakhmut agglomeration here, in

principle, well, somewhat secures the northern north - the western approach to donetsk well, they are not, moreover, for us, the situation develops in such a way that bakhmut is such an attractive ricci for the enemy and he is ready to throw resources into the limitless in quantities, how to get there, well, people climb into the woodshed , why don’t you turn this meat grinder in the armed forces. so far, the only problem for us is the amount of resources that are thrown there, the russian side will require a huge expenditure of ammunition from us if the allies continue will support us, and judging by the fact that the production of 155-mm shells in the united states has increased sixfold in recent months, we will be supported accordingly, we will continue to

hold these positions but together however, the enemy is now trying to act on other areas of the front, when we talk about attempts to attack there in the area of ​​the coal mine, as well as attempts on the zaporizhia front to operate in the area of ​​fields and walnut trees, there were such probing attempts a few days ago on our line of defense, the enemy was also repulsed. what are your predictions regarding these two areas of the front, which, in our opinion, looks sufficiently important from the point of view of both our offensive and the russian defense in order to understand the picture of what and in which areas the enemy conducts for what purpose it should be remembered that in the area of ​​the ughledar salient the enemy conducted such a development of the battle but without solving their problems and in the area of ​​the belohurivka estuary of the same bahmut in the

avdiivka area the enemy captured the entire donetsk luhansk region physically will not be able, it should also be remembered that the enemy does not have the physical ability to conduct more than one large-scale offensive operation at a time , he does not pull two, neither in terms of resources nor management, as for the commander, the picture is like this the 155th marine infantry brigade, which suffered simply insane losses and remained there, being replenished with partially mobilized personnel who had undergone training, attacked a tactical group the size of a reinforced company in the ugledar area from a position in the mikilskyi area. 2 platoons with armored vehicles attacked the northeastern pavlivka and their the neighbors along which the ocean fleet 40 brigade of marines attacked e-e from shevchenkiv district on

new ukrainka tried to advance to the south forks of roads pavlivka purification plant pavlivka novomayorske e-e itself the scope of the forces involved, send the people and two platoons on armored cars, well, this is not an offensive, this is an attempt to find a weak spot in our defense , as for zaporizhzhia, there is a picture of the following enemy. there is a group there, this is 19:42 divisions of the 58th combined army, which is stationed in the caucasus, 42nd division in the chechens have there somewhere between 25-28 battalions of tactical groups of various degrees of operational staffing, these groups are supported by approximately 10 artillery divisions of the fiftieth and 292 artillery regiments and 291
