[000:00:00;00] on the strengthening of russian offensives and even more offensives. how today's day went. well, there is nothing surprising in the fact that the russians are strengthening us here. the thing is that this was already announced by our intelligence and foreign intelligence, so the enemy, of course, asked first for their attacks on bakhmut and started new attacks on vugledar and now the direction of the matchmaker crime and the matchmaker merchant is one of the first important directions for the enemy who is trying to increase his presence . the biggest accomplice has already started, and now they have become superheroes. i would like to ask you, and here you are. i understand that it is located north of bakhmut, and the direction of the subdivision, our subdivision is

kharkiv, if we are talking about the subdivision, yes, i would like to ask what the situation is is it happening there and is the force building up noticeably and is there understanding today the most important thing is where these where this offensive can be because you know the main idea is where ukraine will attack or will attack or the enemy will attack and is trying to assess the forces of the gathered enemies for so that he can implement it in the direction you are talking about in kharkiv region, is there a threat that the enemy can use much larger reserves of force in order to try to advance deep into our territories . let's give a little overview of kharkiv region. every day he probably notices where the enemy's colors coincide with ours in the north of kharkiv oblast. i don't mean the russian border, but 15 kilometers higher kupianska where dvorichna is and where it is now known to everyone because in almost every

report in every information of the general staff hrinakivka here now the gunpowder is trying to create a position for itself along the river, in principle, their intention can be read starting from the cube, if there were large pumps, a pocket to the drilling machine, and that is why it, including the pile, wants to create for itself ahead of the water and will now press as much as possible, now it is pressing that as i already said, in the north, there is an open country, but there are also, hmm, clear actions that are directed at the liman and directed at the er-e of the skrypnya nalimana , directed at it, this direction will be intensified now as much as possible and by infantry with shafts, as i always say, artillery shafts are no longer possible in relation to that, they are now being used, this direction will now be the main one, and as i have one experience in important and critical direction that concerns ours, but

i will not talk about it on the air. but i know for sure that he is being prepared, and it warms the hearts of those who are standing now, well, ugh. and tell me, please, are you talking about these infantry ramparts, well, actually, this is the tactic that the enemy used and in soledaria continued to use in bahmut, because, let's say, if we talk from the north donetsian cut, it's still more were shafts of fire uh, well, inside last year, but these infantrymen are how effective they are and is this effectiveness achieved only uh, because of a high, very high level of enemy mortality, or do they really use some such tactics, which means they invent there and really learn uh in the course of this war , our enemies did something, well, look, let's talk about such a last tactic that our colleagues who are defense are passing on to us, the same bakhmut, it is clear to everyone , the chmobikes who are moving forward, but now

it is not only the schmobikes who are moving forward, now let's say very well-trained, well-qualified stormtroopers from the airborne units of the russian army, they go forward, repulse some position, fix themselves on it, then they bring in such schmobikes there, and from there the russian airborne is removed, well , you have such a modernized option as to try to knock out the ukrainians from us from the position of bringing in those who were not bought or not it's a pity , as far as the infantry waves themselves are concerned, yes, er, i always say so, and it's ironic that heimers resolved the issue around the middle of july, but so far , the russian mobilization is trying to cover this ratio of ammunition and this shortage of uh, even barrels, i would say so at the expense of the actually mobilized , who are partly trained and partly trained with kalashnikov assault rifles, which we equip russia with a lot of devices, it is certainly not compensated for, this is the tactic of infantry waves of what is not enough you have not before in the form of an arrow, but the enemy

uses it along the entire line from the north of kharkiv oblast to the coal mine, and in the near future it is unlikely that there will be anything like that . by the way, i want to say that vladimir putin now they are actively lying about the situation at the front, that is, even the minimal successes that the enemy has . the personnel of those positions that are now and will it be able to help stop this infantry shaft, or should there be some other tactic, well, we will not be there, such tactics may be, but simply , whether the numerical, numerical strengthening of our positions , it can give results right now, definitely many units feel understaffed due to sanitary losses in the form of wounded and, unfortunately, those who have always gone to heaven. this is true. very

often there are not enough people to replace them. very often the replacement does not keep up with the change in the situation because we do not have enough physical to be honest, even on the air , i do not hesitate to say that the mobilization that is continuing in ukraine is necessary, because someone needs to replace us on the front line now and, so to speak, replenish that project in the military units of which it happened, therefore, we are at war , we are at war with the enemy, who puts up additional hundreds of thousands, obviously, and we have to react in addition to this. are being introduced into kyiv that there are enough forces or the one i am on now , but when we hear about the next successes of the ukrainian front of the russian-ukrainian war, these will actually be successes at

the expense of those units that were created. well, to the russians, what remains is the language, today on the air, they told us a few days ago, you know, that they imagined the quality of the american units that will be there , these are the actions, these are the steps they use to create their propaganda, because the front cannot, in principle, rely on the leadership the area has been our trenches for a long time, and as i said, the artillery gives out such companies in the cities of the north, which invested in lysychansk, and before that frontier , the russians here will use the tactics of the infantry shaft as much as possible. well, it will not allow results, responsibility, they must do it in the near future, western armaments will be very serious, you can take their initiative as it was, as i said in the summer, the situation with the arrival of timers and the corresponding ammunition, thank you very much , mr. oleksandr, for your comments oleksandr hanushchyshyn, major of the 103rd brigade and defense of the armed forces of ukraine, a deputy

of the lviv regional council was in touch with us, we talked about the situation in the kharkiv region, where the enemy also continues to try to at least go on the offensive and oppose the defense forces well, now let's talk about kherson oblast. volodymyr molchanov, a political scientist, will be in touch with us. vladimir, i welcome you back . first of all, i will ask about the shelling of kherson and kherson oblast. according to the last information i looked at, three people were killed and one wounded. where did the plane arrive today ? how strong was the shelling of the city of kherson today, and from what is being said in the kherson region, please, since the night it was flying along the uh-uh railway and it was stopped for a day, it was practically stopped, they just

announced the completion of track repairs it flew from the city of trombokha, northwest of the kherson stations, it flew along the kz, the movie concert word , jubilee, there, during the occupation , they opened the office of the united russia party and distributed some humanitarian aid. yes, under er well, i think that it is not fatal. but it was tragic to be hit recently er during all today er in the village of ingulets right across the yard and here. i still can't understand what it was because the distance too big for from i mean from the territories controlled by the russians to ingulets, which, well, from the name it is clear that it is located on the ingulets river, it is located quite

far from its mouth, that is, more than 20 km away , so it could not be a game, it could be either or heavy, heavy rzzv, a hurricane or tornado, or at the limit of its long-range receiver description, so far i don’t know what it was , but something heavy, something too heavy to cause more than gran to cause the same destruction and kill a woman like that unfortunately, the situation that requires the usual attention and reinforcement of counter-battery fighting will be against the heavy artillery of the enemy. i want to ask about the situation at the kakhov hydroelectric power station, what is there now, what is the latest possible information about the lowering of the water level, eh, yes, as of yesterday, the water level

was 2 m lower than the average in the winter limit, that is, the average level is 16 m, the maximum allowable is 16.4 m, and it was 14 m, that’s all, i’m talking about the indicators above sea level above sea level , that is, below the dnieper, below the dam. it is at an indicator of 01 m. that is 10 cm below sea level, it is not just because the black sea is generally at -40 and the mediterranean sea is -50 from the level of the world ocean, so if you consider the seas of the black sea as zero, then, accordingly, 14 m against 10 cm eh, so that's what's there it’s quite difficult to tell all this. the kahov heskla consists of a 4-meter-long dam with 20-8 spans, between

which there are slats, which are also called sandors . actually, they can be forced to shift in order to let water through, and so on . under water pressure when water reaches at the front level, the springs are pressed, so to speak, and they let this water through, so when the bridge exploded, which the russians blew up , the outermost spans closer to the right bank were damaged, and they constantly let water through. this led to the fact that it rose in the dnieper, but this is only for a certain time, because in the case there everything depends on the wind, eh , because the height difference requires 10 cm of water , it is so insignificant that the level of the dnieper is lower e-e dam of the kakhovka hpp is mainly regulated not even by the water that merges, although it also flows. and by the direction of the wind, if

the wind blows from the southwest, the water level in the dnieper rises, even the islands are flooded. and if the northeast wind blows, the water is expelled from the dnieper - estuaries from the estuary even to the black sea, oh please, if we have literally 30 seconds, please, now we observe that the water has stopped flowing from these damaged valves for almost a month and is flowing from the valves located with of the opposite dam, no one knows why it is shown, it could have been rashyst - the rashysts could have done it, but it is not profitable for them because they are losing already almost lost another meter of water to the crimea and they will definitely lose it because the north crimean canal will stop flowing to the crimea the water is due to the impact, because the level will also drop in the zaporizhzhia npp, which they want to start up, it is also possible that this is due to the fact that

these valves were also damaged there, uh, maybe even shelling, and maybe not, because i tell us again that there was no water there, that the water level there fell to 12 m and there was no water in the crimea, there was no work in the end, there was such a moment that the water began to be drained from our hydroelectric power plants, which are located higher, but yesterday they were drained, for example , the level of the dnipro reservoir in zaporizhzhia dropped by a meter and therefore, there is a possibility that the level will rise a little again, uh, very much , mr. volodymyr. thank you for the detailed story. the shelling of kherson and kherson oblast is conjuring from the territory temporarily occupied by the enemy. i now once again call on you to join the e

-e collection of funds for battery stations for our defenders. espresso tv channel together with the forpost ua charity fund continues to fund the purchase of powerful portable battery stations with solar panels for our fighters we will hand over the first five stations to the 406th artillery brigade named after general khorunzhgo oleksiy almazov . they are sealed, shockproof, work in difficult weather conditions and are fully adapted to military operations , this is so that you understand why we want to help buy these stations. so, in total, we have to collect 16,000 m, 800 $. thank you. is it 616 uah for you? now we have collected 416,571 uah, join our collection and you see the details on the screen, thank you for your help, glory to ukraine, well, now it's time to talk about the military results of the day, and i'm here only to talk with serhiy from the player director agency defense express serhiy, i

congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our viewers, good the news in poland is that ukrainian tankers are already training on leopards, is it true or not, please? well, it’s true, the president of poland visited the training of ukrainian tankers , 21 crews are studying, but the main thing is that by march we should have a full-fledged tank brigade, that’s 126 tanks if to combine the promises made to us by germany and poland, so that we really expect tanks and trained crews by the end of march, which will be of significant help to us on the battlefield, and further on the wine program, we will talk about the state of affairs on the front lines in the bahmut zone, which you mentioned earlier, as well as the armed expectations and consequences for ukraine from the meeting of defense ministers in

the rammstein format, which begins on february 14. about that in a moment. it is getting more and more difficult around him every day, the enemy is trying to carry out frontal attacks and is trying to bypass the city from the south and north, but what exactly is happening on the spot, we will talk about it with the commander of the intelligence unit terra is mykola volokhov with the call sign abdula mr. mykola i welcome you on the air channels espresso e-e i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory to you to see and hear last month we just talked on exactly this topic but the month passed quickly enough and what is happening now in bakhmuti because today restrictions have been introduced for the entry of journalists for the entry of volunteers and what is the cause of this and what consequences will this have now

, well, from the point of view of the situation in bakhmuti, i believe that the decision to ban entry to bakhmuti volunteers and journalists, this is actually a very good decision. the fewer non-combatants in the city, the better. i personally witnessed it. and in general, any civilians, in general , i believe that they were needed. i hope that this is all. i do not follow this personally. everyone has been evacuated from there for a long time, i really hope for this because in the near future nothing will happen there except for the battles of artillery shelling and the death of destruction, but i once witnessed how a civilian child was injured during artillery shelling. i did not understand at all that she was there

he still does, and how can anyone still stay in the hottest place in the world? well, journalists also have nothing to do there, unless there will be some injuries or the positions of the armed forces will be revealed, and that's why it's not bad, and it's steadily difficult in bahmut, you know how probably a month ago i i told you it was steadily difficult, now i will say the same, it is steadily difficult , but we are holding on, and what is the situation with the enemy's attempts to break through to those routes that everyone repeatedly mentions and says that there is fire control, how does this affect the situation in in the city

, does it seem like the enemy is getting on these approaches to these key roads, so it is possible, i will say more. rotations, too, when there was a rotation of groups, they left absolutely normally, and without enemy fire, the enemy does not have control over the roads we use, again regarding the logistics of support, which is a very important element the wars are all right, they drank coffee in the morning, there is still something to eat in the evening, there is something to charge the batteries for the drones, there is something to charge, to refuel the cars for tomorrow's work, eh, so far their actions to cut the logistical arteries are not successful . well, i am proud of your optimism and your calm, in fact, i wanted to ask are there any particularities in the actions of the enemy when we talk about aviation, artillery, armored vehicles, are there any changes that have taken place during this month in comparison with some previous

peculiarities, yes, i would name a few changes er, armored vehicles, er, probably a month ago they came to this tactical decision not to bring armored vehicles close . to whom i work, i will say one thing that this is the flank of bakhmut a and e, for what reason, the reason that our artillery is quite good and destroys and their attempts to capture the city with equipment , let's say, were not successful, but about the aviation of the aviation such an impression that reduced

personally, my point of view is that they are stockpiling and preparing for something, most likely. but maybe this is due to the fact that our manpads and about the bubbler are generally not standing still, and a lot of complexes are coming from the allies, they are deployed here and practice the turns of aviation and accordingly, it is a certain restraining factor for it, and with regard to artillery, i feel that they have a certain voice with artillery men, but again there is also a certain limitation that was achieved by the fact that we destroyed their artillery warehouses and cut off their supply arteries, but there is an accumulation factor, you should definitely not underestimate the enemy and you should prepare, you know, never in war plan based on the most likely or most desirable scenario, move away from the maximum capabilities

of the enemy. drones for conducting aerial reconnaissance , does the enemy have means of rap that affect our copters, how do you know today’s operatives , in general, russia has quite a good well equipped in terms of electronic radio intelligence and radio electronic warfare. i would say that as soon as the kherson and kharkiv fronts ceased to exist due to the fact that the muscovites were overthrown from there and everything they had was concentrated here a-a lot means of radio-electronic warfare are used, it is extremely difficult for the operator to work, but we find the keys to these problems, let's call

them that, and we continue our work. they can identify drones without infantry on the front line and overcome their video signal. but to be honest, it doesn’t work very well yet, but i don’t know for what reasons you can because it’s cheap russian crap they made from improvised means. maybe because someone stole something there. a maybe because she has a lot of work to do at the very beginning, but the work is quite difficult, as i have something to compare it with, if i compared it with kherson, you zaporizhzhia, it is not a more difficult job that i had for this military company, and this is exactly explanation with means of rap or is it just the intensity of the load on your unit, the need to work during the day and night, it is the number of missions that has now significantly increased, are you talking about it, eh, you know, ah, i would say yes , eh, the hardest thing that happened to us happened to us, eh in the kherson region, when we worked together with the 28th e-e brigade

with the 406 e-e artillery of the 131st rb , due to the fact that the world day was very long , there really were colossal loads and the lack of experience of what we have also expect to spend on vacation e.e. replacement of personnel. they really worked there all the world day. now we also work on the world day also at night, but since the main load on the pilot still falls on the world day, the main events take place on the world day, accordingly , it is now shorter and in this regard the load is somewhat less, although it is complex, it is compensated by the load of cold, wind and uh, let's say a short distance to the enemy, after all, in kherson it was uh, uh, 3-4 dashes, 6 km , here it is a kilometer of 500, uh, sometimes less, i would also

like to say that yes means of rap here much more seriously than in any place where i have been in this company. it really creates difficulties, we need to respond to them promptly , we need to fight them, so far we are doing well, but the tension is felt mr. mykola thank you for your inclusion for your time for your service take care and take care of your brothers and sisters. and i will remind our viewers that the commander of the intelligence unit of tera mykola volokhov with the call sign abdula was the commander of the tera intelligence unit on the air. so we are talking about what we really need and modern equipment and actually now with modern weapons and now we are waiting for the next rammstein to start tomorrow, where the most needed help in ukraine will be discussed , there seems to be provincial equipment and about anti-aircraft defense and about strengthening this frontal tank fist due to the creation of a wider tank coalition and

in fact, about directions related to logistical support, this is all that we currently have , what is extremely necessary regarding logistics, i would also like to add that today the secretary general of nato said that we need to intercept russia's initiative on the battlefield and we need to supply weapons to ukraine, we are talking more actively about ammunition and equipment and about spare parts, and the more lives we will be able to save, the more and faster weapons will be supplied to ukraine this is what the nato secretary general said, and now valery romanenko, an expert in military and civil aviation , senior researcher of the state aviation museum, is joining us. valery, i congratulate you. good evening, tomorrow the new rammstein starts . the aviation component will be present on it. in the first place, compared

to other needs facing the armed forces, and by the way, the president of ukraine made a tour of europe, spoke in the british parliament, where he said that ukraine needs to be provided with wings of freedom, that is, western aircraft to strengthen our armed forces strength and imagination followed this discussion. and in your opinion, according to your evaluations, can we expect from this rammstein , which starts tomorrow, such already significant progress in solving the issue of transmission in ukraine has a lot of target fighters. well, i think that at least a decision will be made about the preparation for these planes, because it is at least six months, and you can start from this on

the one hand. steps to say that we will give ukraine airplanes. not yet. i think that everything will start with the pilots . it will take about six months during this time. i don't think that in six months, but in a month or two . i don't even if it's not rammstein next time some radical decisions will already be made, i.e. the type of fighter only or the types of fighters, the number of fighters, and the weapons that will be given to them, because it is one thing if they give us fighters with air weapons, then the question is defense and the fight against russian fighters . and if they give us the entire nomenclature of weapons , then we can use these planes to the full. so, for now. for now, i expect some preliminary decisions from this rammstein, but i remember that 100 million

dollars have been allocated in this year's to the financial budget of the pentagon for the training of ukrainian pilots, and the fiscal year 93 ends in the autumn of uh, but i think you mean this fiscal year, not 93. but in any case, you mentioned the armament for these planes, and by the way the minister of defense said that we will give the planes, but maybe later after the war, but he talked about the possible transfer of long-range weapons to ukraine. and in this context, all the military experts began to say that it is possible that these british cruise missiles storm shadow are possible. about gingerbread, a palliative solution when these missiles can be adapted to our platforms that our air force has, moreover, it is even easier than harm, you understand harm, you still need to receive and process the appropriate signal, and
