and dramatic episodes of the russian-ukrainian war, and even at the beginning of march, mariupol was surrounded by ukrainian military personnel in particular, the azov regiment took up the defense at azovstal, a huge plant between the river kalmius and the shore of the sea of ​​azov, active hostilities there began on march 18 at the beginning of april the occupiers already controlled almost all of mariupol, except for the territory of the metallurgical enterprise, which became a fortress for about three thousand ukrainian servicemen. vladimir putin, at a meeting with shoigu on april 21, gave an order on camera to cancel the assault on azovstal, but it was a lie, the russian aviation dropped heavy bombs on the plant every day , the assaults did not stop. this night is just a colossal number of phosphorous bombs, 50 air strikes, art rockets and everything that a barbarian can use against humanity, ukrainian

servicemen courageously held the defense and they even counter-attacked to continue the fight, azov marines, marines, national guardsmen, border guards and other units helped ukrainian scouts. it was possible for him to endure to perform in may, the situation at the rest became critical , the fighters were forced to retreat sharply there was a lack of water, food and medicine, the situation was complicated by a large number of civilians and wounded , the field hospital was destroyed by another air bomb, finally, on may 20, the garrison ended the 86-day defense of mariupol , the higher military leadership gave an order to preserve the life and health of the garrison soldiers and stop the defense of the city, about two with half a thousand fighters, some of them have already

been exchanged in turkey, until the end of the war , five commanders from azovstal should be there , in particular, denys prokopenko radis svyatoslav palamar kalyna and serhiy volynskyi volyn and we are very proud of what you have done for our country. on the night of july 29, russian troops carried out a terrorist attack on the territory of the former penal colony in the occupied olenivka . this is how the anniversary of the beginning of the battles for azovstal for mariupol lasted for three months during which mariupol and azovstal remained and turned into a real fortress and tonight we will show you a film by artem shevchenko

of our colleague, which is called the air raid on azovstal, on march 18, on the anniversary of the start of the fighting, the tape will be shown. and what is it about the air raid on azovstal, the sky is called the sky, the film reveals the details of the unique airborne special operation of the group, we are talking about it in mariupol, which became known after the withdrawal of the ukrainian defenders the pilots of the armed forces and the special forces of the gur, retired from the metallurgical plant, flew seven sorties in 16 minutes with the wings of the army aviation and entered the generating territories at the plant for more than 100 km with dense anti-aircraft defense of the enemy, there were also losses, including a rotorcraft, as far as i know , we will learn everything about this today in the film, the only thing is, please tell me at what time it will be demonstrated, since we do not seem to have this information here. well, we are waiting for the appearance on the appearance of artem shevchenko on our air , if he is already there please have a good day artem

is not here, unfortunately he is not there, but he is also a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, he is also engaged in important matters , we will wait for his appearance all appearances i apologize and at what time will the film be shown 12 and 10 do not switch this afternoon 12:10 a film by artem shevchenko called as i already said i broke through to azovstal so and so so watch this film well, we will inform you about the most important aviation of the armed forces of ukraine struck six strikes on enemy concentration areas , the general staff reports this, quoting our general staff officers, the aviation of the defense forces of ukraine struck six strikes on the areas of concentration of the occupiers, and units of missile troops and artillery hit two areas of concentration of enemy personnel and one position of deployment of his forces from air defense means, and

also information from the united states from our partners from the president himself. joe biden said that the warrant of the international criminal court against vladimir putin is finally justified because the russian president committed military crimes this is reported by the new york times, i think that this means that putin's icj warrant is justified . putin has clearly committed war crimes, a direct quote from jobiden, he also emphasized that the decision of the court in case of issuing a warrant is a very strong position, this is a quote, at the same time, he noted that the usa is not a member of the international criminal court. well, let us remind you that ukraine also signed but did not ratify the so-called rome statute, yes. well, let's hope that this will happen sometime in the near future , maybe six months maybe earlier. in the meantime , uh, steinmeier spoke about

sidzinpin's visit to russia . the peace initiative will be successful only when there is a willingness to talk with ukrainians. germany's frankfurter steinmeier cannot assess what the results of the negotiations in moscow will be, the german president said, he can only say that every peace initiative, regardless of who it originates from, will be successful only if there is a willingness to talk with the ukrainians with the ukrainian president , steinmeier said, he would like if china played a constructive role, but the german leader added that it is necessary to understand what a just peace means, it involves first of all clearly stating who is the aggressor and who is the victim in this war against russia this is such an extremely important signal of ukraine, well, there is already a reaction to the decision of the international criminal court of the international criminal court in gaza from the united nations

, the spokesman for the office of the un secretary general stefan eh duzharyk, his name is the following, we will continue to believe that the secretary general, that is antonio gotish will talk with whom he needs to talk to in order to solve the issues before him, well , in fact, he did not rule out the possibility of meeting antonio teresh with a war criminal who is suspected of war crimes, putin and who was arrested in absentia, duzharyk also noted that the international criminal court is independent of the un secretariat and we do not comment on his decision. also, duzharyk did not give a clear answer to the direct question of journalists whether uteresh will guarantee the safety of putin. if he speaks, will he participate in un events that will take place on the territory of the signatory states of the rome statute, the end well, meanwhile, in

the krasnoperekop region of the occupied crimea , the russians began the construction of additional fortifications. this is reported on i am citing the glorious general staff between the populated settlements and the noise and warring of the temporarily occupied territory of the autonomous republic of crimea, the enemy has started the construction of fortifications and trenches , the civilian population is forcibly involved in the execution of the works on a free basis. that is, the russian interventionists began to drive the so-called e-e to build so local residents are in touch with us artem shevchenko author the documentary that we will see today at 12:10 on the espresso channel is called air flight to azovstal artem's sky good morning, please tell us about the details of this film, what are the most interesting moments

you covered in your tapes please documentary three films military intelligence of ukraine at sea in the sky on the ground the sky decided to make more interesting about it for more heroic military intelligence operations together with other defense and security forces in 2002 , but in three natural elements in the sky at sea and on land, the sky is an aerial view of azovstal these are several 16 flights or seven flights by 16 helicopters of the army aviation together with the special forces of the main intelligence department, which delivered from march 21 until the first decade of april everything necessary for the defenders of mariupol to the surrounded azovstal. watch it, watch it on the air on

espressodomo. it will be interesting. these are the memories of the helicopters. how was it? these are the memories of the special forces. now the account of what was possible to achieve success, as well as many other interesting details of artema, tell me about the sivbs, the specifics of these extremely difficult of helicopter flights, we understand that the enemy tried to destroy our helicopters, our helicopters still managed to achieve a certain result, the situation was probably hellishly difficult, but if you can , please give a little detail about these death races , eh. we have very good army aviation , helicopter pilots with local experience and combat peacekeepers, and this operation showed in particular that to such a serious depth as

more than 100 km deep into enemy territory, which is compacted by various anti-aircraft means of defense, well, in fact, none of the helicopters in the world flew because it was very risky. ours flew and all 16 flights were successful in terms of the fact that they flew to their destination and unloaded. that is, it is necessary that they were carrying everything that got to azovstal, the defenders of mariupol are very necessary ammunition, weapons, frame tools , e.e., medicines, and all that, which allowed for 86 days , over a month, to extend the defense of the powerful enemy forces of more than 10,000 groups, and this is said in particular

by kyrylo budanov, the chief of the general intelligence management and to prevent the enemy from leaving well, to develop success in the direction of mariupol, to flatter him with these long battles in the direction of mariupol, in the direction of zaporizhzhia, i mean to hide him with long battles in mariupol, but it was possible to fly very low, the main thing in such flights is not to be surprised it is to fly very fast and very low and in fact in every flight the pilot hurt the helicopters by clinging to some obstacles below or to the ground or to trees, but uh , such low flights, as they say, at criminally low altitudes and enabled to slip by unnoticed by the enemy's battle formations and their stationary anti-aircraft missile systems and portable reporting missile systems, but unfortunately three helicopters were lost, there were impressions, but already on

the way back and unfortunately, in such operations , there are no losses. well, actually, i about the losses, sir, i wanted to ask if you are raising this or this topic, are there any witnesses to those combat losses, and in general, who are the main speakers in this film of yours, tell me about it, well, the chief of the main intelligence department, major general kyrylo bogdanov, also one of the officers of the special forces group who flew as an on-board rifleman on helicopters and four helicopters eh who flew there eh in different flights and with different stories, in particular, the hero of ukraine yevhen solovyov tells who managed despite on the damage of the rocket of one of the engines, fly to the base, the rocket hit, but did not detonate, such miracles

happen in war, save 20 wounded who were at his port, whom he took out from azov, and also other participants, but this main artem well, then tell me, you also said the trilogy - this is the sky, then there will be i understand the sea and the earth . in fact, from the first day it was captured, on february 24, the enemy left there on june 30, on july 7 , the flag was raised, that is, from february 24 to july 7, 2022, the battle for the changeling lasted , an exhausting sea battle, it is unique in

that traditionally our enemy prevails at sea and despite this, the defense and security forces managed to neutralize this advantage definitely through such a heroic event as the sinking of the flagship of the black sea fleet of the cruiser moskva on april 13, 2022, which then made it possible to develop success and eventually liberate the island of change, and the liberation of the island of change led to to the unblocking of the shipping lanes this is chronologically absolutely accurate only they left the serpentine at the end of june as uh at the end of the summer the black sea grain initiative was signed which unblocked at least three uh seaports of our country for grain export. it would be impossible if they controlled the island, we talk about it in the film and the film er zemlya kharkiv counteroffensive tells about the currently most successful offensive operation

, this offensive in the kharkiv region, when the enemy actually collapsed, his defenses collapsed and the success was so uh , cool, fast and large-scale that as the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrsky admits to us in the film, he was the main one in this operation, we liberated territories somewhere on 2,000 m² more than planned than expected because the enemy, well, actually poured in, and we are talking about this operation, about the participation in it, in particular, such a special unit of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine as krakow, they are quite powerful and can actually take large settlements and we we talk about it during the demonstration of the tape "earth kharkiv control" thank you, mr. artema artem

shevchenko, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, a journalist, a person who is currently creating an extremely important documentary film about armed forces of ukraine on the espresso channel, we are watching a story about ukrainian mariupol and ukrainian paragliders, you know, knowing artem, knowing his professionalism before creating such tapes, i can tell you dear tv viewers, don't miss it. be sure to watch, and this is only the beginning of a trilogy of documentaries about the most important operations, so we will watch together well, we are now adding to our marathon andrii kramarov, a military expert, we will assess the current situation on the fronts. glory to ukraine and andrei, we congratulate you as a hero. glory well what would we ask you to give a description of the great battle in donbas in your opinion, what additional trends may appear now, we are talking

about the near future, the situation is hellishly difficult , the armed forces of ukraine meet the enemy with dignity , but the enemy is pre and pre. how many do you think the enemy forces will be, look at the moment after a little relatively this week , it is possible to celebrate monday , tuesday, wednesday, and the beginning of thursday, according to the information of our armed forces, the enemy has somewhat reduced the pace of its attacks, especially this it applied to the e direction behind the battles for the city of bakhmut, respectively, if during the day 70-80 such attacks were carried out by the enemy only in this direction , then this intensity was reduced to 20-25 and as we can see from yesterday's 24 for the last 24 hours, respectively,

the intensity of battles in all directions increased significantly this tells us that the enemy took a short break in order to accumulate reserves and bring up reserves and to accumulate their ammunition capacity. i understand that they are transporting him from a larger the shoulder of logistics due to the fact that the armed forces of ukraine have more long-range and high-precision weapons that allow us to destroy their logistics already at a distance even further than it was 70 km that we were given standard himers missiles. we also saw that hmm, last week there were several powerful airstrikes over mariupol, which in fact has now been transformed into a very large logistical military fortress with a large number of warehouses

and warehouses for the deployment of enemy manpower , but it is worth noting that also in the last 24 hours our heroes also had a lot of unpleasant surprises for the enemy, for example, there was a trend of the last three days , and counterattacks by our armed forces of ukraine are very good and successful, especially in the avdiiv direction, yes, in the avdiiv direction, the 101st mechanized brigade the enemy forces suffered very heavy losses when they tried to attack our positions , they were very quickly cut off, surrounded and inflicted on them, well, very serious damage,

the main thing is that the enemy loses a lot of equipment now and these losses in equipment are actually for him, given the lack of opportunities for their operational replenishment, especially this is what concerns the equipment of the type of t-80 and 72 tanks , especially those medications that are their modernization there in the 2000s, and this is what as for their e-armored infantry vehicles of the bmp-2 bmp-3 type, now the losses for him are non-recoverable and they are very, very significant , the enemy actively uses aviation along the entire front line, and uses not only assault aviation, which is called upon to be serious losses among su-25 attack aircraft and su-24 front-line bombers, and it is already starting to use tactical aviation, these are multi-purpose fighters, bombers of the su-30 su-34 type, which approach oli close

to the front line with missiles of the h29x31x59 e irz air-to-surface missiles and they are trying it is they who are doing it. well, it also creates a rather high danger for them, and it is also a significant unpleasant factor for us, because these missiles are still more accurate than the guided missiles that they used, for example 125 attack aircraft, however, every such machine like this 130 su-34 is extremely difficult for the enemy, this is also what i would like to ask you about the situation in our skies, which can improve significantly after poland and slovakia finally hand over the promised to us how you can see how much it can change well, if not strategically

, then the tactical situation in certain areas of the front, it will significantly improve the tactical situation because, first of all, all this will replenish our reserves, because our uh, our nomenclature of weapons as regards aviation, unfortunately, was not replenished from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, if you look, there was only information that poland and slovakia than provided us with spare parts for our planes, with which we were able to part of those myths 29 that were in uh well, let 's say that in our reserve, not in storage restore and put in the strip - this is a fairly significant number of migs that will be provided to us, this is a mig and a slovak modification mig-29s, this mig has improved avionics , an improved navigation system. it has a modern

communication system of nato standards - it is already fully digital and including already has an improved digitized control system for the aircraft's on-board systems. well, for the sake of clarity, i'll just explain that it's where there used to be analogues, you devices with arrows are already there, like, for example, on modern western planes , on-board computers with a liquid crystal display on which provides much more and better information, but it is worth noting that , unfortunately, these planes were not, and were not modernized and adapted to them, examples of nato aviation weapons, this is first of all all missiles in different types of air, air, surface and laser-guided bombs, however, according to the information of the political edition since the new year, a group of ukrainian aviation engineers plus engineers of our design bureau is better. as far as i

understand, because this design bureau was engaged in the development of the latest missile weapons for of myths, the modernization of the yumu-2 was actively sent to the west, where for the third month they are actively working on the possibility of expanding the range of weapons that will be able to use mig-29 aircraft, and for expansion so that we can use modern nato missiles, especially air-to-surface missiles , that is, which will be able to work on the ground with high precision, which will be able to help our guys from the sky to destroy not only enemy bodies there or operational rears, but will even allow and actively work on enemy concentrations on front line p andriy well , yesterday we spoke with aliexpress, so it seems like a romanenko. he said that it would take up to two weeks, well, in order for the pilots to be able

to work directly on these planes, if we receive not only these migs from poland and slovakia, but also f16 there, for example, from european american partners, then how long will it take from the arrival of these planes to ukraine, then the first combat sortie? what do you think, well, planes in 16 if they will provided as soon as the first plane, let's say, will be landed on the territory of ukraine, it will probably take up to half an hour to fully refuel, to attach e to e hangers in accordance with the tasks that will be set in this pilot, respectively the weapons are there, for example, to gain an advantage over the surface - in the air it will be an ein 120 missile, if it will be the destruction of enemy armored vehicles, then it will be agm

114 hellfire missiles, and in half an hour he will be able to perform tasks, but it is worth understanding that the issue is not that if even the newest system fire controls are modernized, which are installed on the eye of copper 29, modification s , for example, the slovak ones were also modified in the 14th year, and you , the polish ones were improved by the modernization program, anyway, for our pilot, i already know them for him, it is a bird on which our pilots trained and learned to work, f16 planes from all over the world are a modern modification of the fifth generation block-7072 of the f16 plane, there are 105 types of weapons, and each of them will create 105 types of weapons, we will get lost in that and if for example, to take i don't know this or that squadron of those myths , what they can do , forgive me for this, that's for this profane question, fool around, but what

they can't do, i don't know, they can do some point-blank attack on the enemy, of course they can, of course they can what is important is that they will be able to do it more efficiently and more accurately than those models of myths 29 that are currently in service with the armed forces of the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, the anti -aircraft defense may not work. well, that is also a stupid question. -ma planes so it will already be made with e-e and gm88 kharkiv missiles, which are already arranged by our engineers, these are anti-missiles for suppressing air defense and they will also be able to be very effective, i will also tell you that the missile and jam 88 harb from the mig-29as aircraft can be used due to its improved fire control system at a longer range than how and how it is used now on ukrainian

modernizations thank you one more minute we have no come on come on come on come on we have a minute well what? not even a question, just interesting information, sometimes i watch russian channels, there is a program, well, i have such a sin that the russians are discussing now in their military tv programs, they say that the usa or canada itself will arrive not only at 16, but also pilots from with ukrainian surnames, there are some ukrainians, petro tkachuk or vasyl kovalchuk, citizens of the usa and canada, and they will simply get on this plane at 16 and just immediately fly to zero, and there won’t even be any questions, these are ukrainians, and well, they are panicking, i am leading to this panic regarding the provision not only at 16, but already with ready pilots. i think of course this will not happen, but this panic can also play in our favor. thank you, mr. andriy, yes, of course , it was nice to meet you here, to the great regret of our broadcast discipline andriy kramarov, a military expert, was working
