[000:00:00;00] about the main communication routes, now they are for the most part passable for transporting both our manpower and the necessary ammunition and equipment, so the work continues around the clock , extremely intense, but the enemy will not be able to close this trap, on the contrary, the armed forces of ukraine will definitely disperse them and i am sure that it will take some time as long as the aid that has been announced and is coming to us by the country, i mean the military aid , will appear in full on the front line , particularly in bakhmut, and this will enable us to work more quickly with less losses, well, president volodymyr zelenskyi actually said today that what prevents ukraine from starting a counteroffensive today, well , at least it is possible to start its initial stages , is precisely the lack of that military aid , mainly armored vehicles, and all the other help

that was promised to us by a in the interview, in my opinion, this is a censor's edition, if i'm not mistaken , you said that today ukrainian tankers will produce such things on soviet-type tanks , in particular, the t-72, which is increasing on western tanks reliable for us, in particular leopards or challengers, we are like tankers who can dance the lower brake, what did you mean, please explain to those who are motorists now , we will not understand. it is one thing when you buy a car that was already in use and you have some problems all the time then they broke it with one thing or another, it seemed that the car was quite normal and, accordingly, it had already been used for so many years, and the release did not give the opportunity to be purchased with all the innovations that are the state today and it's a completely different story when you buy a new car and drive it from one place to another, it doesn't break down, it fully performs

its function, it's exactly the same story with the equipment with tanks , you are the samples that we had despite the fact that they were repaired by ukroboronprom. throughout the war, before that, that's all same outdated models, and despite that , with fewer tanks and less ammunition, our tankers in direct tank duels hit the enemy quite effectively with a one to seven one to ten advantage, even this happens, our tankers won successfully always support the infantry, what will happen when we get leopards, which are high-tech, which have increased protection for personnel and increased combat capacity, have improved ammunition and also a guidance system. of course, our tankers will show a super cool result, which i compared with the lower brake because it seems to me what's the bottom? break dancing is difficult enough. now i want a good one. i want another one . we'll wait

for it . we believe. in quantity in quality and i constantly see videos being dropped by our glorious brigades, different units, how they destroy, let’s say, these electronic means of electronic warfare, the resident, and so they explode beautifully, and understanding them, many of them are being destroyed, as of now, what bothers the most are enemy drones or their fish that are trying er intercept or plant our drones, what is the situation here, please do not apply various he is trying, he is not doing so detailed enough to the development regarding the application of ukraine on

of technical means, understands what frequencies we use , tries to adapt and see all the frequencies used by the armed forces of ukraine in terms of drones, but they do not manage to do this effectively. makes the broadcast, will not tell what concerns the drones and the drones that have been put into service, we have repeatedly talked about this with you - this is orlan and she, this is the cube these are the ones that orlan scouts our positions, the lancet club, the gardens that hit our fire means, the priority targets for them - these are our artillery means, the gunner manufactures them as of today, serially, and the solutions say that from open sources, so the enemy is now deploying several more enterprises that have to produce large quantities are unmanned detailed devices, but just as the enemy is appointed in the same way and we will organize an effective countermeasure. what does this mean that we also use rap barriers in that number and international samples that are coming to us arranged an effective system of countermeasures and shelter arrangement of shelters for our artillery means so that they could not hit us with lancets or so

that reflection or minimal damage to the equipment and at the same time ukraine is now taking these soapy steps regarding the production of drones and wings and everything that is related to uavs, both reconnaissance and strike action , unfortunately, we will not be able to see in the next week or two a surge of concentration on the front line, namely strike action, but the question in the coming months, when there will be a lot of these technical means in the army, only the main measures have been taken, namely, in the armed forces of ukraine, the formation of a company of shock unmanned player complexes, that is, who will use them, and the state is now within the framework of the drone army program at the expense of volunteers of every ukrainian and in general civilian sector and our international partners is quite actively supplying the troops with various types of uavs that are already effectively performing their function at the collision level. i thank

mr. yury fedorenko, the company commander was with us attack drones of 92 individual mechanized brigades named after kosh ataman ivan sirk about the situation in bakhmut, bakhmut direction and in the city itself. we talked about the situation in kherson oblast. petal well, today a lot of unpleasant things happened in kherson region and serhiy khlan is a deputy of the kherson regional council, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you, i wish you a good evening kherson region is ukraine. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. i will start with the shelling of kherson itself . how is the security situation today? i read that there were explosions in kherson . if possible, please tell the bank today that the city of kherson was less shelled.

and the shelling is less, but maybe it’s still the work of our counter-battery attacks because there were explosions , it was exits, it was our artillery that worked precisely on the enemy grouping on the left bank and the regional center itself today fired less but, unfortunately, we have victims in the vysokopil district of the kherson region and in the boryslav district today there were three cases when people in different settlements collected mines or detonated mines and four people were injured . uh, the guy found a mine and disassembled it, blew it up, got wounded in the stomach and limbs, uh, in the boryslav district, there were also cases of blowing up a mine, there were uh, people who

were moving along field roads and in the next once we call on people not to travel on field roads, not to go out into the fields until mine clearance work is carried out, not to pick up suspicious objects, and especially to disassemble them, because it ends tragically well, really, near ivanivka, i was blown up two men, a man blew up a mini saw there too someone else took in the hands of tumin, well, actually, such stories happen . unfortunately, there are many of them, but we understand how mined kherson oblast is. i want to ask about what the occupiers want to create on the occupied territory of kherson oblast temporarily they occupy the free economic zone. to be honest, they do not, in principle, know such a phenomenon as a free economic zone . well, have you heard anything about it, that there they want natural exchange to return somewhere somewhere in the distant past or what? well, what

the occupiers tried to launch such as the chumak cognac factory and the tomato paste factory, then nothing came out of them well, firstly, there are no specialists , and secondly, there are no people either, because people are gradually leaving the occupied part of kherson oblast. well, thirdly in general, they did not have the goal of launching anything, but the goal was to rob. well , in the end, they dismantled all the equipment, everything that could be dismantled and took it to the crimea, as they usually did , and on the right bank, robbing absolutely everything that was possible to rob, and then they took off from the right bank, it will be the same on the left bank, what they do today is the only thing, well, if they do and try to create the illusion of confidence, this is what they call the agrarians to go out into the fields and spend

spring field work, they even offer subsidies per hectare, and they assure that they will provide water for money, because kherson region is a risky area for agriculture, not because of the drought, so they say that water will be free, electricity will be free, gas will be free, everything will be free it will be free, just work . well, as usual. by the way, we all saw that you work, and then when you harvest , we will pass by and rob you, as always , the occupier acts like bugs. well, we believe that what the hell this will not happen and the harvest will remain with ukrainian farmers serhiy was with us he is a deputy of the kherson regional council and we talked a little about kherson oblast, he also attacked the enemy with self-made crown bombs in kherson oblast serhiy zgurets is already ready for the air , the director of the express organization himself, the host of the war summaries column of the day serhii congratulations i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers today i read such a seditious

opinion for russians and that well, it is unexpectedly possible for our viewers that with time the enemy can come to the point that in the aspect of the segment of armored vehicles, we can er outnumber the enemy, he can exhale so much that we will have more tanks and other armored vehicles , is it true or just a dream? well, i think that our army will really have more tanks, more planes, more missiles i think that all manufacturers should probably now dream of their weapons being in the arsenal of the ukrainian army, because they should actually correspond to the qualities of the ukrainian military, their courage and endurance, and later in the military program we will talk about the lies of putin and medvedev about the production of a thousand new tanks for the russian army, about the fact that the aggressor's troops began to use grenades with 100-hydrogen gas on the battlefield, and what is the meaning of moscow's announcement to transfer

tactical nuclear weapons to belarus . complete disconnection from reality and it seems that they are doing it quite deliberately, firstly the deputy chairman of the security council of russia, medvedev, who constantly threatens his head with nuclear weapons for crossing the red line declared that this year russia will produce as many as one and a half thousand new tanks, then putin said that they will make 1,600 tanks in three years, and this will be more than western tanks in ukraine. the russian federation can produce

10-20 tanks in less than a month, which is actually half as much because there is already a lack of components from electronics to foreign bearings at three other repair plants. russia can repair or restore from old ones in a month reserves from 20 to 40 tanks, that is, in general, russia in a year, according to the estimates of our consulting company, can make about 400 tanks, both new and modernized, and such as t-62 and t-55, which still remember stalin. what about enemy losses in 13 months of war ukrainian soldiers destroyed 3595 russian tanks only yesterday 15 tanks this means that the rate of destruction of enemy tanks on the battlefield is in any case much higher than the enemy's statements and dreams about expanding their production why are putin and medvedev lying

when they talk about the production of thousands of tanks, the first thing is to fill the citizens of russia that there is no reason to panic, and everything is under full control, there is no shortage . the second explanation of the russian lie is that putin's message is intended to convince the west to allocate less military potential to support ukraine because, they say, reserves reproduction of weapons in russia is limitless, so they say that no matter how much you help ukraine, we will still have more, but everything is exactly the opposite, the safety margin of the russian defense-industrial complex according to the conclusions ukrainian military intelligence actually has only two years, but the enemy is not only lying, but also insidious, russian troops on the battlefield began to use tear gas against our soldiers, and this trend is gaining momentum, details of the actions of the occupiers were told on

twitter by a ukrainian military officer with an account tatarikhami and he submitted several schemes of use of these e-e methods of using sozohid, as noted by rashisti , manual tear gas aerosol k-51 grenades or other means, in particular homemade ones, are usually used for such purposes methods of enemy activity now if we have uh the filmmakers will show us the scheme of using these uh now we see a video where the enemy tries to attach a grenade to a copter and in one of these options the enemies drop grenades with institutional gas from a drone to force our fighters leave your dugouts and together with the uav carrying a gas grenade, you can fly another drone already with fragmentation grenades that are dropped on the fighters who were forced to leave their shelters

or after the fighters remain in the dugouts the enemy uses mortars to attack our positions and enemy infantrymen are trying to storm our trenches at the same time the methods of countering such a threat are quite simple it has already been confirmed that good protection against tear gas is provided by ordinary military gas masks the question is that they were and that russia is starting to grab nuclear weapons again the leader of the aggressor country , vladimir putin, announced on saturday that russia intends to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighboring belarus. putin specified that russia will start preparing calculations from april components of the rk iskander-m that were previously handed over to belarus. and by july, the construction of a special storage facility for tactical nuclear weapons on belarusian territory will be completed. putin assures that the weapons will be placed without violating the obligations under the treaty

on strategic offensive arms. meanwhile , nato called russia's nuclear rhetoric dangerous and irresponsible, and the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine demands to immediately convene an extraordinary meeting of the un security council and expects effective actions to counter nuclear blackmail the kremlin on the part of great britain , china, the united states and france, and now we are joined by oleksiy ezhyk, an expert of the national institute of strategic studies. we are now establishing contact with him, and i would like to remind you that the actual history of nuclear weapons has repeatedly been disturbed in the relations between russia and belarus, if we remember let's take it literally. last year, mr. lukashenko announced that they already have aircraft capable of tactically carrying nuclear weapons, then it was just about such su-25s, and

this caused a certain surprise, because in fact, such su-25s, which they installed for uh the use of nuclear munitions, these are subsonic aircraft, they say whether and under what conditions they say that they are much less fast than traditional carriers of nuclear weapons, which are supposed to carry tactical nuclear weapons, in particular, up there. made a bet on the su-25 as for the consequences of using and deploying weapons on the territory of belarus , the investigator of his time belarus, like ukraine , gave up nuclear weapons on the territory of belarus. by the way, non -stationary missiles and mobile missile complexes were deployed

cruised through the territory of belarus, which could launch strategic missiles from any area, and at one time, when the question of withdrawing these complexes was concluded, belarus received these complexes on its territory until recently . and now all the urchin experts of the national institute are joining us of strategic research p. i congratulate you, oleksiy, i have conducted that you carefully monitored putin's statements and a simple question arises: the purpose of these actions of russia and why right now is an interesting question. i think the main reason why right now is the first because the time has come and there are no other means of blackmail left, now in hindsight you can understand that such a decision was being prepared, there were such indicators. i think the main thing is that they did not agree with china regarding weapons and they decided

, well, this is even contrary to the chinese position, there is no such thing as talk about nuclear weapons no less, immediately after putin's visit, he started talking about nuclear weapons again, and in such a way that it's not him, it's belarus , which means that russia did not receive the necessary support in conventional weapons, and conventional weapons are a big balm the problem is that he has to involve such an ally as lukashenko in such a nuclear function. and is this a violation of the arms control agreement? can russia transfer or, in particular, place weapons like this on the territory of another country ? e it is not so unambiguous if we talk about nuclear weapons in general, not the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the treaty that was signed and that is in force and that russia

still holds on to, it does not allow the transfer of the transfer and it is written that it is not possible to transfer by transfer, accept the transfer, it is means well, lawyers believe that this is about control over nuclear weapons. if there is no control, then basing is theoretically possible . there are additional treaties regarding strategic nuclear weapons. i am not sure that in the latest version there are three. it was written everywhere that strategic nuclear weapons cannot be based outside the national territory, well, besides there , a submarine can enter there to refuel somewhere, but there cannot be a permanent ukrainian base nuclear weapons in the same way, and bombers can fly in and sit there and continue to fly, but they cannot be based on a permanent basis somewhere outside the national territory , as for tactical nuclear weapons, well

, there is no such question as a direct ban, and we know that in europe there are american nuclear weapons within the framework of special of nato procedures , we know that this basing was approved, well , approved and accepted by the soviet union, and as such, that does not violate the treaty on inspection , that basing is a little more complicated than simple basing, it includes a certain preparation for the termination of the non-proliferation agreement when, well, completely different procedures come into effect, there really is such a thing, but what but there are so-called nuclear presidential initiatives , these are political documents, political letters that were written by george douche sr. and mykhailo gorbachev in 1991, and then they were supported by the borysambarian confirmation of even the strengthening of these

presidential nuclear initiatives that are being followed with the united states and russia they still adhere to tactical nuclear weapons, and the meaning is that most of the tactical nuclear weapons are destroyed even then for the ground troops, for rocket artillery , it is simply destroyed, the rest of the nuclear weapons are moved to the central warehouses and significantly reduced after that , there will be no tactical nuclear weapons on surface ships and eh and eh, in aviation, after all, in central warehouses. well, here and there , a certain paradigm arises, if all these contracts are in effect and there is no provision for control. and then he declares that from a certain time the calculations of the most advanced ones, which are belarusian calculations, will undergo training, and then the calculations of fighter jets. so, in 25 minutes

, they start training, so there is a question of control , which means that it passes under the control of the belarusian military and this is a certain violation. well, i think we will hear from russia when it comes to these issues, they will say that they are simply repeating what is within the framework of nato, within the framework there is such a training of the crews of some. mood on the replacement of fighter jets in europe with the f-35 is related, among other things, to nuclear missions , these countries that have nuclear weapons on their american territory, uh, there are some crews and some aircraft that can perform these missions, but they are actually part of the armed forces forces is a complex philosophical question and it consists in the fact that nato allies have procedures

for preparing for the situation when the non-proliferation treaty will expire. they are preparing for the invalidation if this happens, but they do not violate anything transfer of control does not exist. i think putin will say the same thing, but there is a novel novella that concerns the armament of the ground forces, uh, if pro-iskander, well , these munitions should be destroyed altogether, or, well , never be mentioned again, if russia, i don’t know what kind of planes they are there they mean because the su-25 was never foreseen at all, even in theory, even they were created. non-nuclear, precisely non-nuclear aircraft. i don't know what they changed there to nuclear weapons. i think that's all , after all, it's a rhetorical escalation. the main thing is what putin said is that they will prepare the central

storage base of belarus, restore it to a state where it will be possible to place nuclear weapons there, and in this way they will not violate the same presidential nuclear initiatives, they will continue, as they say, to store nuclear weapons tactical weapons at the central bases of e-e storage i understand this passat and when they will prepare the armed forces and the crew well, it seems to me that the ceft is already placed after the ukrainian continent and that is why it is being talked about now well, after all, this rather, it is a rhetorical escalation that they are ready to involve belarus in this nuclear rhetoric, because in fact, if russia wanted to raise the nuclear stakes now, it would say that they are creating new storage facilities near the borders of ukraine on their territory, moving nuclear weapons there , and

they are preparing for a nuclear war, this was for real, and when they say that if a nuclear war begins , belarus will start it, it looks a little strange, and moreover, they hint that it will happen after that, after that. well, how will it happen the main events on the battlefield, we understand that this is still earlier than the first . and when she said july, it seems so, the deployment of storage facilities in july on the territory of belarus , so here really, on the one hand, we will still hear all this and will have to sort out the nuclear weapons nato procedures that are referred to by putin alone. he will refer to this and say that this is a symmetrical response, that they are doing the same thing with belarus as the united

states is doing with germany. drawn up even before the non-inspection treaty and the great meaning of these procedures was that it was an inoculation against proliferation. that is because many countries in europe wanted to have their own weapons date and the united states offered them a palliative. we will simply base our nuclear weapons and a little bit you a little bit you are allowed half a minute for planning procedures one question what will be the reaction of the united states to these actions of the russian federation i will i think they will say that these targets these objects in belarus which will become nuclear will become the primary objects for planning the mission and i think on our side i am also planning such statements er

, just the same well, just to remind belarus that if they agree to this, that is to popularize their territory as vulnerable to any unexpected strikes and the work of partisans units and people's liberation movements in belarus itself. i think we will hear all this, but first i think nato will express regret and say that they will carefully monitor the situation as soon as they see that nuclear weapons are real will be moved, there will be significant actions in response. thank you very much for your professional comments. i would like to remind you that the espresso channel was broadcast by oleksiy the hedgehog, experts of the national institute of strategic studies. these were the main military results of this day, and then more international economic news. the program
