. led by bohdan bandera, actively fought against the german invaders, because an angry kherson citizen will come out against the enemy column with bare hands, but will not bow down to the occupier. during the second world war, it became the main defensive point of the nazis ; the order was to hold the steel

gates to the crimea at all costs after two years of occupation the inhabitants rebuilt melitopol, turning it into a developed european city, today the people of melitopol prove to the occupier that they have steel gates and not only melitopol was and remains an unconquered ukrainian city , the conquered mariupol was an industrial center until recently, and it is just a wonderful city on the seashore. and now the city is a martyr, a city for which the heart aches every ukrainian, the russians sought to capture mariupol 8 years ago, they destroyed the city , shelled peaceful neighborhoods, but all in vain , but how did mariupol survive in 2014-2015

the city of students of science and industry, which since ancient times has been repeatedly attacked by tatars. greetings to all viewers of the espresso tv channel, i am iryna kovaliy. today i had the great honor of talking with the hero of ukraine with the legendary cyborg. at the moment, this person is in the bakhmut direction, he is the commander of the combined tactics group adam this is a ukrainian military tanker and a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine yevgeny mezhevikin yevhena i congratulate you i congratulate yevhen mezhevikin today with us yevgeny today i wish you the first thing thank you for agreeing to talk because i know how busy you are, and i know that you even sleep only a few hours a day, if you are fat, so thank you. let's start our conversation. first of all

, i want to say that we are -e started collecting unmanned aerial vehicles for joint tactical group adam and have already been able to even purchase one such unmanned aerial vehicle thanks to you and our viewers and we continue our collection so i want to remind you that you all joined because unmanned aerial vehicles they are always needed at the front and we have repeatedly talked about the fact that it is like consumables, so please join our gathering and i think that very soon we will be able to purchase one more such bird and send it to the front zhenya look, i want to start our conversation, this is what you have actually been fighting for since 2014. you participated in battles with the airport, that's why they call you a cyborg, you stormed the sands

even after a full-scale invasion. and you liberated kyiv region, you fought in kharkiv region now, er, you are on the bakhmut direction. if we talk about all the directions you were on, what was the most difficult? i think the most difficult was at the beginning of a full-scale aggression, at the beginning of a full-scale war, it was the most difficult period, er, because there was a lot of er units of the enemy who had not yet known defeat and therefore they were warmed up

plus prepared and using modern equipment , that was the most difficult period of all in kyiv oblast. i think it is the most difficult. you see the so-called second army of the world, you already have something to compare it with, which can you give them a general description , because you saw them then in 2014-2015 and you see them now, these soldiers have changed, they are completely different people, well, in general, you can characterize them somehow well if we take training, then of course at the beginning, at the very beginning of the war in the 14th year, they were building up their potential because, first of all, this was the trained personnel of the e-e special group, there were not very many of them, but they pulled along

and led a large number of people who by money performed certain tasks. well, plus with thoughts, people who have seen . for years it is very inconvenient and therefore very easy to manage, then they were still fighting at the first stage with such a contingent, after that orc regular units appeared , which underwent certain training there and they began to fight, it is clear that it has changed

the resistance of the enemy has increased, the personnel has been prepared, there has been a lot more well, that is why it has become a little more difficult to fight now. now nothing has changed, uh, only there has been a lot more power of the means that the enemy attracts, what personnel, what equipment. well , that is all that he has ammunition in the mtz er, everything became much more at times. well, this is the only difference, and therefore in terms of complexity, er , in terms of complexity, it is only due to the fact that there are a lot of firearms, a lot of er, armored vehicles that he attracts in different directions. well, accordingly, personnel composition of times became more plus plus well, right away we got to know another contingent, this is uh, for which criminals are not sorry and saw how

the personnel they have, they simply do not count it, they do not feel sorry, they throw positions of meat and meat from they live on this meat, which has already died is lying around in them, they hide there, occupy themselves, cross over them and try to go forward, then between, well , they saw another category of people. it is very similar to herds . that's how in safari they give as they please. well, they are true hunters are not very similar, but similar to those uh, herds of animals, well, animals that go to the watering hole, uh, they go in herds. they know that when they move to the watering hole, they will be hunted there, uh, different animals, people, they know that not all of them will give, but they still move

forward, they have an instinct. they know that they need to go drink a little water and turn back and i know that not everyone will give it back but they all climb evenly here it is here herds of animals they now look like the russian army look at it here are herds and look zhenya, here we are one soldier told during the broadcast about what is in the east the russians are now using our captured military men as human shields, did you ever meet this or did you see it twice at all? they used to launch prisoners forward and storm groups went from behind, that is, there are still such cases, yes, there are such cases. look, i wanted you more to ask about the tactics of the russians in the offensive, it has changed at all, they are now acting in small groups, etc. at dusk, they are there with

the support of artillery and ags, they are trying to get closer to our positions, did any counter-attack work at all, let’s say that it was more effective to stop them of course it is if you are on the defensive, it should be an active defense plus er, it is er, the units standing on the front edge must er , constantly improve the position of the enemy in order to be able to move , build up mines, explosive barriers and er, ordinary barriers that make it difficult the movement of personnel and work at the expense of uh, you need to detect in advance at the expense

of unmanned aerial vehicles came i will have to work online and connect directly to the decision-making center and fire impression . well , there is no need for tactics to adapt to the enemy here, you just need to understand his tactics and act accordingly according to the situation that has developed at the moment. look when we there we are talking with the military and they were talking about the kherson direction, they were talking about the zaporozhye direction, and also about the kharkiv direction , so the picture and the situation there were changing literally every day as we speak now and could change in a few hours, by the way, but when we we're talking about the bakhmut direction, we've been talking for several months and it's like that, a kilometer there, a kilometer back, you can say something

, in your opinion, how do you see when this situation will change, in general, when there will be any changes in the bakhmut direction, matveone , there are a lot of personnel, but there are certain problems that interfere with the use of this personnel, these problems, i think they will be solved in the near future. well, because the enemy. well, there is no need to dig in, hold on and lose people.

the artillery over there knocks out the position more well, you need maneuvers for defense, it too eh well, it brings its results a lot by and large, it is not difficult, the main thing is to teach the personnel to do this and have motivated channels of commanders, so i think everything will be fine and the enemy will suffer even more losses this year as a result of achieving look valeriy zaluzhnyi gave an interview that has been talked about for several days now, you probably know what this interview is about, about a new offensive on kyiv , you are a military strategist, you are a strategist, you have released kyiv oblast. what do you think, will the russian army go to kyiv and if so?

when it will be according to your personal forecasts, i will tell you that to omit any opinion well, to think that this cannot be, it is unrealistic, it is a great resource there is something else, well, the body will be spent in order to try to carry out another plan to capture kyiv and some other region there or cities to rule out these possibilities. well, i can’t, it’s not possible, first of all, if there is even a little bit of an enemy, but it’s very likely that the enemy will want to take it by name , i ’ll throw it away. the percentage is small, worked out, something must be planned in this direction, but if it is not likely, then the forces of the means

can be attracted less even to restrain this enemy. otherwise not losing you does not lose the combat potential in the direction from which he will go. that's why i think that glavkom eh there are eh plans that eh in that counter to any options eh one enemy and he has a very powerful team that works quietly, working out all these options, processing. and let's say this to the civilians, our society just needs to believe in the armed forces, believe in

what is good . we will not give up the position we really are we believe that you know the same thing for us now as gods, and we believe you and the commander -in-chief and thank you for everything you do and do you want to ask about the turning point in the war in your opinion, when will this turning point be and what exactly a turning point must happen, i think it has actually already happened because the enemy has started planning a protracted war protracted war he can afford a little at this stage, but not for long, and if he is planning a protracted war, it means that he does not

see prospects in victory in this war he needs to wind up and wind up and wind up and we need to try to try to force us to negotiate before accepting some uh, it's inconvenient for us to negotiate terms and i also want to ask you now about victory , after all, what do you think it will be like and what does victory mean to you personally in this war there is victory, i believe that there is not a single living moskal on our land we must be, then there will be victory, that is, when all our lands will be freed from the russian army, that's right zhenya, what

will be the first thing you will do when there is victory , i haven't thought about it yet what about us what about us on the tank we are planning to go to the crimea in simferopol, then i think it will be closer to the end of the war and there may already be something to plan. what to thank you for today's conversation. thank you. i thank you for your help . for the purchase of drones for our units, we are doing a very important thing and without your help it is almost impossible to maintain at the proper level in terms of the quantity and quality of our unmanned groups thank you thank

you zhenya and once again i want to remind you that in we are in the process of assembling an unmanned aerial vehicle, and the sooner we can do it with you, the sooner we can buy it , the sooner. this bird will fly to the front and help our military destroy the russian army. and you and i already have one such unmanned aerial vehicle for tactical of the joint group adam was purchased and i want to thank you for the fact that you all joined the gathering. today we talked with yevhen mezhovikin , a ukrainian military tank driver, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, heroes of ukraine, a legendary cyborg and currently yevhen bozevikin is in the direction of bakhmut, there he is fighting together with his tactical combined group of hell, the tropical greenhouses of the hryshko national botanical garden are also suffering from russian attacks on

the infrastructure of ukraine, this is a large bathhouse greenhouse for these tropical plants , it is necessary to maintain the temperature at 18-20 degrees, it is warm here at the moment supplied from the city, but in the case of emergency situations caused by russian mass shelling , employees are forced to light a fire in these barrels in order to at least somehow to maintain the temperature before the full-scale war, the greenhouse was heated by the boiler room of the botanical garden, which allows you to save money and regulate the temperature of the heat supply. however, the factory that supplied pallets lost the opportunity to supply them to the botanical garden. this factory , which produced pallets and this company that provided us with thermal energy, was lost in frame in the first days of the war . they rebuilt for a very long time

. they rebuilt, but due to the lack of light . the project is heating for the greenhouse in order to raise funds for the purchase of pellets during active hostilities, because the tsat did not receive visitors, which is why he did not receive uah 14 million from the entrance tickets, which were just directed to the communal needs of the academy of sciences, and we were allocated 1 million and 100 hryvnias for support, primarily utility bills but of course 14 million and 300 million this is a very small amount, very recently the exhibition greenhouse managed to connect to the city's heat network, however,

as a result of russian attacks and emergency outages, the heat supply stops without electricity, they cannot work and the pumps of the boiler room help out in the furnace valerians, which are used to heat stock greenhouses , collections of unique plants are kept here and plants are grown, which are then transferred to an exhibition greenhouse, for example, this is an azalea greenhouse, the first 20 species of this plant got to the botanical garden back in in 1946 from germany, and then our circus workers already worked and received even more of these types of vassals, and if you go and look and read these labels, you can see where the adventist office is professor walter brought these varieties with him from germany. and those called kyiv waltz lilacs. to the heroes of the war, podolyanka - these are varieties obtained precisely in our botanical garden, and then i am very popular among the guests of the botanic garden . the peak of flowering occurs in february. so this year, the plant bloomed without visitors in

translated from greek , azalea means dry, because when it is not in bloom, look at this bush. in the garden, more than 500 flowers can appear on one plant at the same time, the employees of the botanical garden urge the residents of kyiv and guests of the capital not to miss the nearest flowering of azalea, which begins at the end of january and lasts until march. the second one is harvested for heating stock greenhouses. volunteers who unite through a group of volunteers of the botanical garden they collect if possible several times a week, there is a person who cuts them here. as soon as he gives the command to bring at least 2-3 trailers, well, we still collect and work . this is not the first time that artur says that he understands how much heat is important for plants, my wife is fond of plants, she has a collection at home, so i know what it is like when there are no necessary

conditions for plants. that is why i decided to join the most valuable specimens of tropical plants. in the coming days, they will be heat pumps. we can finally start installing the heat pumps for which i collected money vadim keller and heat pumps are a more modern technology that we will have that will cost us less heat that they will produce will cost less than the central central heating network or our pallet boiler houses, and we first of all put them in the original stock greenhouses, this is a very valuable collection that we have , the value of the collection is that it is impossible to restore the samples in the event of loss, the pearl of this collection is the archive collection, we worked to create this collection tetyana mykhailivna cherevchenko, she visited a lot of countries, and in those days when it was still possible to travel to all countries and select these plants , now the international legislation has changed and we

simply no one will give them to us anymore these are plants, firstly, secondly, there are plants here that are no longer in nature , the kyiv botanical garden at one time even provided specimens of plants from its collection to restore the forests of vietnam , where this plant disappeared from its natural environment, but for these pumps to work , the botanical garden need the help of generators also we would really like a cable no cable we want to make a backup power source because there are several lines in the garden we would like to switch from line to line back up with a generator same story in our large boiler houses, which currently operate on pellets, we really need a 110-130 kw generator there and we need a cable there. also, in order to make a backup switch, the main task today is to do everything possible to save plants in conditions of long-term power outages for

employees of the greenhouse. every night is a challenge . sometimes we have to respond to emergency situations and stabilize the temperature in the middle of the night. the team is very united . minimum wage, starting with the director and ending with the security guard, but everyone understands what the situation is and everyone is determined to somehow preserve the collections. people have been collecting these collections for 50 years, and now we simply cannot afford to lose any sample because our mentors passed we have this collection, we must pass it on to our children to help the botanical garden survive the frosts in the first place

. to help and purchase pellets, look for details on the official website of the hryshko bosad, a unique collection of tropical plants, which includes about four thousand names, today needs the support of every caring ukrainian, tetyana litvinova , oscar janson, especially for espresso, the largest children's hospital of ukraine, okhmatdyt, after a full-scale invasion, did not stop working for a moment, they accepted the decision to come well , i will respond to the order to come with all departments to this new building and make sure that the operation is carried out on the sugar floor because this building is made of reinforced concrete, in contrast to the old buildings, which are panel buildings of hospitals for seriously ill children, in particular , they began to build in 2011, but it was possible to start work at 100% already during the full-scale

invasion of russia into ukraine during the war, we were able to start a new course of equipping it ourselves with the most modern equipment , nero came here, the monitoring system, navigation , the operating tables came here, and we did everything possible and impossible to make this institution the best for the hospitals because of corruption schemes even during the presidency of viktor yanukovych, the hospital was built against the background of corruption scandals, court disputes and arrests , and only at the end of 2022 the higher anti-corruption court announced a verdict in one of the cases of abuse at the construction of okhmatdyt, the former head of the state enterprise ukrmed project will be iryna koval was sentenced to 5 years and the former director of ukrpromet llc ihor kuchma was sentenced
