[000:00:00;00] and we note that it is reported that critical infrastructure workers were injured as a result of the hits, and that we have been informed many times before this, and here it is worth emphasizing that it is precisely the people who are in the temporarily occupied territories that should be avoided in this cooperation with by the rashists, especially those whom they force to work in critical infrastructure in order to avoid these unfortunate cases, because the process of deoccupation of the zaporizhia region will continue in the future. and please tell me to clarify this bridge is important for the transfer of forces and means by the enemy in order to carry out offensive actions that they plan in the direction of zaporozhye. is it important in order to, on the contrary, feed their forces that are located further north, just to understand the geographical importance of this bridge, for which it is the most important thing that the enemies use it for

well, we used it here, let’s note that you know, it ’s some kind of, for example, for the russian, there’s never an action. yes, and there it’s ready- preparation, for example, for some offensive actions, namely, yes, what is it a permanent artery that throws up murder weapons, including, for sure, and let's say about those, you know, the charges for their well-known s300 installations , for example, in the fact that there is a tokmak, when would you know in such a safe way? yes, what they throw there is that it is brought in, for example, from that crimea, and from that direction, from melitopol, from which the veliky military base was already formed quite a long time ago, everything is transferred to the tokmak, this is the suspension of the bc, including what happened and with this bridge, now they have a headache, how to restore everything well, if there we are watching. i will briefly ask then what these enemy attempts to go on the offensive in the zaporozhye direction are about. well, you do not call them large-scale, but they take place constantly

. how do you evaluate them from this information, because you have your information from what is happening there in in this direction, how can it be evaluated, in your opinion, please, well, vasyl, you know about such an attack , it’s rashestiv, let’s say that in the form we would like it to be rashistov, yes, that he is really, well, at the moment, it is not unrealistic for rashists no matter how much you would like it, if they didn't try somewhere periodically, but this is a stupid, purely unrealistic figure, because you know how analysts have already calculated these figures for those offensive actions, and here there is no need to invent anything, but these technologies are purely dry, just me thank you very much mr. dmytro for joining and for your comments. dmytro

kravchuk, deputy of the zaporozhye city council . take care of yourself, dmytro, and we will go further. colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, yevhen, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. first of all, of course, i will ask about today 's large-scale cynical and terrorist shelling , but not all terrorist attacks, but today it was especially cynical on the part of the enemy in kherson, we have casualties and injuries. it was already talked about in the news, but i would like to hear more information from you on this matter , please. at the moment, we all see the results of this shelling and see that in the mountains, the shelling continues cynically again medical institutions, as he has already done this several times, and precisely in the kherson region and precisely in kherson, objects of energy infrastructure , residential buildings, again, unfortunately, we have human losses, what can this indicate before

this, the enemy carried out such a conditional that the number of shelling was less and the more it is tougher and with it well, let's say, this shelling today 's place of kherson looks even worse. unfortunately, we are still suffering losses among the civilian population. unfortunately, we have the destruction of our infrastructure. and the enemy does not let us forget what he is what his as an occupier to destroy our country, to intimidate our population. they remain and will remain so until we drive them out of our land. and please tell me, is this a shelling from which exactly is this salvo system, jet -jet systems, or is it also long-range artillery that is used by the enemy for such this is how i understand these chaotic shellings or not

, after all, they are looking for those squares where residential buildings , some crowded people can be or objects of civil infrastructure or shopping centers, how is it defined there or is there any is it tied to the place or is it where does it fly to? well, it's hard to say here, but taking into account that the enemy is really hitting medical facilities and critical infrastructure that it's not completely random let's say that chaotic shelling of the enemy is how he carries out and with artillery systems and from jet systems of the barrage of fire these attacks and the enemy uses everything possible for him let's say the entire set of weapons because sometimes and from mortars and even machine tools eh where the distance of vorokhta allows

success is achieved i would also like to ask if it is being considered the people of kherson, by the way, the supreme commander-in-chief's bid was held today, the president said that we are ready for various developments, for any intelligence events, intelligence in events, and he optimistically said that this year will be the year of our victories. we also want it, but it is for that big price well, regarding the different scenarios, of course, if we talk about the enemy's offensive, they don't talk about it until around the 24th or from february 24. it is planned or considered today. well, according to the estimates you have regarding the accumulation and the formation of ineffective enemy units, is the kherson direction considered as a possible direction for the enemy's offensive, or is it still too early to talk about it? and at the moment, we are considering the kherson direction as a direction of probable succession, even in the near future, because those groups were e- e enemy who are currently in the temporarily occupied territories

. they do not allow you to be like that, then he most likely, in principle, he is not preparing for defense, most likely he will continue his uh, terrorist tactics of shelling populated areas of critical infrastructure. so, and uh, the most likely thing on his part is that he, in principle, from time to time tries to carry out these actions of small reconnaissance or uh, reconnaissance sabotage groups that try to cross the river in small boats dnipro also tries to carry out certain measures there , but thanks to the vigilance of our defenders, all these attempts are detected and, as a rule , these vessels are destroyed along with their

personnel, or they are forced to return and retreat well, by the way, i just wanted to ask about the dnipro, here is the wide channel of the dnipro, there is also the dnipro-buz estuary quite large and where do the dnipro and bug rivers flow? so, i would like to ask how spacious today has become a controversy. is it certain together some actions from the side of the armed forces of ukraine, about 80 will cross there to take some action and return. similarly, on the part of the enemy , the river and the estuary are used more actively in order to carry out certain actions there. well, there are simply no battles on the water or something like that. well, as a rule , for battles on the water, we still cannot say that they are happening. at the moment, in this plan, in principle , there is a certain let's say so, uh, parity and uh, about the fact that ours were there, they don't carry out

certain actions, it's like you correctly stated that these are individual actions, which let's say this about what is in place from their defense, because it's not only the enemy who is trying to hurt us and act somehow more firm. we are also supporters of active defense and we are conducting it . well, what well, you know what i will ask first. i know that you do not represent the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. yevgeny, i’m just curious about your opinion. i read one politician today, and i won’t even say which one , as he said that it would be very good if he handed over at least one sholtz to ukraine one submarine, which is currently being produced by germany, which is one of the best in the world . i just wanted an interesting thing. in general , would such an idea be acceptable for ukraine now, or in principle, given the situation in the black sea , in particular, talk about submarines, what are they for

patches are one, well, it's just populism. to be honest, no. well, it's hard for me to say how it will affect this situation. the only thing i can say with confidence is that the armed forces of ukraine and the defense forces in general will not refuse any military assistance. which will be given to us in order to speed up our victory. this i can say for sure, weapons are never too much, so let them give everything , even if not now, we will use it someday . thank you very much , mr. yevgeny. take care. defense of the tauri region, the colonel of the armed forces of ukraine was the denominator, they talked about the situation in tauri region, in particular, kherson region. well, before that, they talked about zaporizhzhia, they actually talked about it, well, now we will talk in more detail about the situation at the front, and not only serhii zgorets, my colleague from the director will join us now of the defense express agency, this is the host of the military summaries of the day column, serhii today without question, but i will give you the word right away, please

. yes, serhii, the connection has been lost and we, well , it did not start, why, by the way, was i talking about a german submarine, because the germans are actually specialists in the construction of the submarine fleet, i will only say that the german submarines that were captured by the soviet troops during the second world war were then renamed in the soviet fleet and many of these boats served until the mid-70s imagine that these german men's boats of the second world war did not break until the 70s, but the soviet soviet scientific and industrial industry, so to speak, decided to make analogues of these german boats, but those analogues sank. well, yes let's say the boats there, eh, there, there, there, there, k-150, or what they were there, komsomolets , they sank. but the older german boats, or all of them from world war ii, did not sink. well, that is , they did not suffer such damage or malfunctions that could lead to the fact that they went to the bottom because of the german german submarine fleet. it has been very effective since the time

when it was ruled by hitler, but the germans did it anyway. let them be satisfied , the germans did it, just like the germans who said goodbye to nazism, repented, renounced, renounced of this nazism and paid all the reparations they could, they continue to make high-quality equipment and we will see it. by the way, it is on leopard tanks that do not go to ukraine, well, the speedster says that he will not give us planes , we also needed german planes. the planes were better in the second world war eh. was it a spitfire or was it, let's say, medsepschmidt here, it's hard to say , it's up to the historians there, the aviators should find out , in any case, they were barely equal, so i think that and now the german annihilates or they were stormtroopers aleolas are needed in ukraine b something is still being said that german is not spoken about planes or fighter jets that’s why we have to start flash mobs again, of course i’m just kidding, this thing has an effect in a certain way, but not in the way that it should affect the victories of the armed forces on the battlefield and

diplomatic work and, of course, the frequency and transparency in the management of the assistance provided by our partners, because the partners must see that with their help , finances and weapons are managed well, well, in weapons. by the way, i do not even doubt that the military leadership and our fighters on the ground they work with this, and by the way, in russia they say that they would have clicked the abrams, no they clicked the patriots, putin said. well, i chose it too. they don’t seem to be afraid of it . but at the same time, people understand their specialists, even on on their russian talk shows, there are people who understand technology, they sometimes tell the truth, even solovyov is surprised, they sometimes tell the truth, just banal facts, that's why they say that they are already preparing money to buy abrams and leopard from our fighters, but traitors the armed forces of ukraine will not be there, so we will have to meet with the leopard and abram on the battlefield themselves. well, later

, i understand. yes, i am. well, we will literally be there from minute to minute, because we will listen to serhii zusyan today, there is also a lot of important information, but it is very important today there will be a studio at my colleague yuriy fizar, i will remind you once again that something unexpected happened in iran. let's say it happened and continues to happen in the middle of the night. well, i saw it somewhere at 5 in the morning, and then i watched this video on telegram channels, i searched for it, what was available explosion arrived, something was happening and what would have happened earlier is happening yuriy fiza will talk about it in detail well , he will talk about the situation at the front and not only about it serhii is burning agencies defest express and leading columnists military summaries of the day serhii please i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers indeed , today we will talk about the situation on the fronts, mainly in soledar and bakhmut through the eyes of our military, and also about how

our air defense will be transformed. to the bakhmut soldier and to the ugledar - this is not a hot spot on the front line where our troops hold back the enemy on the rampart, and we must approach each of these areas in assessing reality with the understanding that sometimes it is difficult to choose the right words to assess and understand the stress that our troops endure soldiers on the front line are now in the mountains concentrating their efforts on seizing bahmut and trying to reach two routes that feed this city, and we have viktor burlyk, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, who is on one from the hottest areas of the front right under bahmut, mr. viktor i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear good evening i congratulate the studio i congratulate ukraine, howl your brothers now on

the nearest frontiers x through your eyes the situation around this city looks like on its wheels the situation at the expense of the direction of bahmut it is always is tense. it is always, as they say, the main topic, because the whole world is watching how events unfold on this part of the front. it can be said that the enemy did not take the approach of storming the city head-on, as he stormed it before, and now with south of the settlement, the mite is trying to cut the kostyantynivka bakhmut highway and climb up to the temporary ravine so that the city is not surrounded by an operational e-e and so that it is not possible to deliver ammunition to the rotation , to

carry products there and the like of course, the tactics of small groups , did the enemy finally have armored vehicles , because there is various information on this topic, it is now actively working. attacks with a fairly powerful artillery preparation. that is, all defensive lines try not just to shell, but simply to destroy them to zero . our defenders have no choice but to occupy another . well , yes. they count because it is from him, uh, as i said, the direction of bahmut is a mega priority and they are trying to do it so that as soon as possible, it would be possible to at least report as they like that there

part of the city is captured, the city is captured, that is they are trying as much as possible to at least break into the city so that such statements can be made, is there any situation because the enemy also knows how to demonstrate his successes in this part of the front, what is happening there now , well, the bakhmut-siversk highway is already under uh rotten and it is completely impossible to use the armed forces of ukraine there, and i think they will go down to the south and enter bakhmut from the north and from the south. that is, they will cut all the routes and in what way they will take surrounded by the city this is the position of the enemy. i think the leadership of the armed forces sees this and also has its own plans

for this . how is our artillery working there today ? but from monday again such significant dynamics are expected there from both sides, does it coincide with the section where are you now located? so i will say that for every uh-uh , as they say, a provocation or an attempt to attack the enemy of ukrainian artillery, i give we must fully understand that the amount of artillery used by the enemy is not commensurate with the amount of artillery in the ukrainian armed forces, so if we take other areas of the front, as far as i know , they already have more or less, well, just like in the first

months of a full-scale war, there are no such large limits on ammunition, and the direction of bakhmut here is all unlimited eh entrance. we must understand that not a handsome man at any cost wants to have such a victory as bakhmut , because he is also pvk wagner eh wants eh how then they say to equate it with the russian army and say that this is exactly the combat unit that exists for this, it needs to take blood from the nose bakhmut p viktor, is this the situation with rotation, is it somehow possible to rotate our units because, well, the psychological and physical stress for each defeat is extremely difficult and well and withstand it. well, not only did the president talk about the need to create reserves for such a rotation , but the process certainly requires more rapid actions when we are talking about such important components of the provision or capabilities of our units, look, i will say that the units in this direction have quite a lot of different units of the national guard and the armed

forces and the main intelligence department, and you can say that i think the general staff will give a more correct answer, i think there are some plans, that is, they can report, well i am asking that the rotations are taking place, but on what scale i cannot assess and i cannot give any final opinion on what is happening there , it is not happening. i know what is happening on what scale, i will not say what the situation is with logistics to our divisions, because we are talking about the threat of these two routes from kostyantynivka and the route there on slavyanska to e.e. severske, but there are other roads that we provide bakhmut. how does this logistics work today, that is, are there any problems? this kind of question works if the defenders keep the defense, so the logistics work too

. it is clear, uh, a lot . well, what can i say , it works succinctly. service and er for the service of your brothers, and i will remind our viewers that viktor burlyk, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, who, together with his brothers, is holding the defense on the hottest part of the front right near bakhmut, was on the air of the espresso channel . and now we will move on to another important topic - this is about capabilities of our air defense in repelling enemy attacks and strike drones, we understand that air defense is an essential component in order to minimize these constant challenges that exist on the part of the russian federation, which is a missile detor and terror in order to influence our civilian population and strikes at critical infrastructure, we understand that we have to receive new anti-aircraft missile complexes of various levels, we have promises from our

partners, of course we are talking about aviation because this week was spent precisely under the topic of aviation because repeatedly i mentioned that certain countries, in particular the netherlands, are already saying that they are ready to hand over fighter jets to ukraine. we understand that the company that manufactures f-16 aircraft in particular has announced that it is ready to increase the production of new aircraft in order to transfer them to those countries that will then transfer aircraft from their arsenals to the armed forces of ukraine, the new ramstein, which is expected there on the 14th number was called aviation by the ukrainian leaders, that is, the issue of discussing the supply of aviation equipment is extremely important, because we know that there will be tanks , armored infantry vehicles, but in

the format of the concept of offensive actions, this the armored armada must be covered from the air because it is only this three-unit component that guarantees the most effective use of all the potential of the weapons that are embedded in bmp tanks and aircraft, and as such we also perceive it as a possibility in the future that they will be equipped with long-range weapons that will destroy the enemy's targets, even the largest ranges than those attacks that we have been asking for a long time in the united states, which are now, including, extremely important for the destruction of the enemy's defense systems on longer ranges than the heimers can still provide . so , we are now at such an important stage when the air defense capabilities must be strengthened at the expense of other

weapons. of the armed forces of ukraine by colonel yuriy mignat, and i will also say that literally a few days ago there was a publication about the fact that the aviation component can have different versions because, in particular, there were offers to germany, but for germany to share its tornado planes with ukraine, there were already publications in the french press about the fact that france itself needs to be shaken up a little and raise the question before france about the possibility of transferring mirages to us, that is, in fact, it is said that again how is this there was a time with tanks, when it is at the level of the foreign press, at the level of experts and politicians , the question of how to ensure the effective execution of hostilities without aviation is just beginning to be raised

on the battlefield, it will be extremely difficult to conduct offensive operations, and when the ice is broken when we say that now all countries are offering us different models of tanks, heavy tanks that we really need, we hope that such a prospect should just spread to the e military aviation here we are talking about a fighter there and about the f16 another is talking about in the 15th actually all these planes are at the disposal of the united states and nato countries and actually this is precisely the important component that will actually complement the ground capabilities of the ukrainian army after receiving of a significant number of armored personnel carriers. this fits exactly into the concept developed by the united states when carrying out effective offensive actions, in particular in the hostilities against iraq, and now we are talking about the fact that we should get new opportunities for the use of foreign aviation, how exactly is it happening, at what stage is this happening? we

right now, we will talk with the spokesman of the air force command of ukraine, colonel yuriy ignat p. yuriy, i congratulate you. good evening. greetings , mr. serhiy . all those who want to have an idea are listening carefully to your words. about the prospects of strengthening our air forces, whether with tactical systems or aviation , you made two important statements this week, one of them was about the fact that the type of aircraft for the armed forces of ukraine has been determined and about the approximate quantitative needs of our country for such aircraft, can you say it again these approaches in order to clearly understand the position of the air force in these components . well, of course, you also know very well how it all happens in our space. it is definitely warm and that there should be more such loud statements, er,

in the headlines, so it is about what type in principle, not one type of aircraft was proposed, but several types even when the vision of the air force until 2035 was adopted , a few years before the russian invasion, where the main types of aircraft that could replace the old fleet of aircraft were determined, we know that two fighters from two types in we have e assault su-25s and number two per year su-24, well, of course there were also grimpins, yes , in that list there are also class f type f planes, there are f15 f16 and others, well actually the topic of planes never came up. i personally took part in in many conferences and interviews and in the comments that we gave to military pilots so that the topic of aviation and combat aviation did not come from the lips of the very beginning of the conflict and at first they asked to close the sky , do you remember the first days, so close the sky or give us the means it is to do this and self-defense equipment and aircraft, in particular, that is why the topic is not new. it is simply

somewhat forgotten because in our country, at first , the emphasis is on one type of weapons . there were artillery. let inertia and so on . and so on. and now airplanes, well, the topic is simply raised, and the fact that the type has been determined, there are several candidates that were really considered that could become the main combat aircraft of the air villages. well , it is clear that the f-16 is best suited for this role, because well, the s15 is a heavier engine unit, so it can carry a larger radius of application of larger weapons, well, it’s clear that you need to physically have those planes, where to take them, who will provide them, in what quantity, so it’s clear that the f16 has a greater advantage here, there are enough of them in the world in countries of our allies and thus apparently

this aircraft, we have an air force for this, what is needed, well, of course, pilot training, infrastructure preparation, which is finally being done, and the ministry of infrastructure , the ministry of defense and other departments are already dealing with the issue of infrastructure preparation in order to accept demanding western equipment. well, of course, pilot training, which it will take a lot of time, but all this will be prepared in the complex, and pilots and aviation engineers and infrastructure well, but it will all happen when it is finally it is stated that this type has been determined as if he won as a candidate and we are adopting it. we are waiting for him , but when he puts out such a video of the f-16 and says that it will soon be in ukraine and we expect rammstein with exactly such an
