[000:00:00;00] eh, we may not be weaker, but so anti-fragile, since our energy system, which eh, having withstood massive missile strikes, became eh, to a large extent, anti- grikh . release of the leak of secret documents of the pentagon, how the disclosed information will affect the plans of the ukrainian offensive, correspondents and king were on board the helicopter, the sea king that britain handed over to ukraine and

the security of the black sea what can ukraine do and nato countries in order to protect themselves from russia in it, let's start again with the leak of secret information of the american ministry of defense, dozens of secret documents about the war in ukraine have appeared online, and today president biden said that the investigation into the leak is nearing completion, he said he was concerned that it happened, but under his according to the data in this leak , there is nothing relevant, such a rather restrained reaction, and biden had to comment on the leak just during his visit to ireland, what do you see in general, the pentagon, the content of the documents is not comments, they do not officially confirm that they are real, investigates what happened in these documents in general, the american assessment of the war in ukraine, its journalists find new stories in this leak every day, this is the story

, it is all american. that he was ready to meet the interests of russia this is how it goes in the merged documents or another headline the united states will not even hold peace talks between russia and ukraine in 2023 hostilities such forecasts of the pentagon continue again, as evidenced by this downpour, and already in the evening the american media named the alleged culprit of the downpour of snowballs. secret documents that got into free access in this leak included, among other information, information about the new ukrainian brigades, their weapons training and preparation for the ukrainian offensive, but without parts to sell or directions as evidenced by satellite images and videos from the occupied

ukrainian territories, the russian military is preparing for battles in general, what is happening with the ukrainian offensive, or is it being postponed, this was found out by the correspondent of the russian service of the bbc , pavlo aksyonov, how are the russian troops currently preparing for a possible offensive in russia of course are preparing for this, but there is no detailed open information about how this preparation is going. what we see now is numerous lines of defense, multi-kilometer trenches that are in crimea and in the belgorod region, that is, not only in the near rear and in the newly captured territories, but in fact these are strengthened defense lines, however, tank ditches and concrete pyramids in themselves are not a serious preparation for an offensive in the last package of military aid from germany ukrainian troops received defense vehicles that cope with such obstacles very easily, and it is difficult to say how ready russia is to, so to speak, repulse the ukrainian offensive, because

it is not known what state the russian reserves are in, and it is a pity that the russian ministry of defense does not share such details, and whether ukraine is ready for this offensive is even more difficult to say about the readiness of the armed forces , because it is difficult to say whether this tank park of ukraine will be enough for a full-fledged offensive, we only know the approximate number of tanks, but we can compare the difficulties that the russian and ukrainian forces have in the first turn is logistics , the front unfolded in a kind of arc from svatovo to kherson, russian troops are now on the outer part of this arc, and ukrainian troops are in its center logistically, it is much easier for ukraine to collect reserves. and in general, the offensive initiative gives a certain advantage because they can choose a direction and will have the opportunity to think about logistics often at the same time . according to experts, russia now has an advantage in artillery, armored vehicles and in people, this is not

a decisive advantage, but this advantage exists, but russia does not know in which direction it is necessary to prepare, therefore it needs much more troops because the side that starts the offensive can simply concentrate the numerical force in a certain direction, that is why many commentators say about the inevitability of the next wave of mobilization in russia, because it needs to ensure a large density of troops on a fairly long front . in addition, the russian army has traditional problems with communication with the command and intelligence, such difficulties exist in every army. more coordinated and works better, however, this time of preparation for the offensive in question has long been an advantage for both sides. ukraine has time to prepare its troops to master new equipment, and russia has

the opportunity to prepare strongholds therefore in every direction where they see a threat, any city can become a node of resistance and this will be a problem for the advancing troops because such cities will need to be immediately taken or encircled - this is a concentration of precious forces, so i think that russian is not only is invested in the creation of continuous lines of defense, but also in the creation of nodes of resistance in some cities, therefore, if the offensive begins , it will be necessary to look at the large cities in the direction of which the ukrainian soldiers will go, but another threat, for some reason very little is said about it, but certain indirect signs point to it, for example, under svatov in the crimea region , russia has accumulated quite large forces that can also go on the offensive, and for this there are certain reasons to return the territories won by ukraine and again create a salient that will threaten the ukrainian forces in donbas, this may also be an attempt to seize the initiative in ukraine and impose hostilities where it is beneficial to russia, so this threat

should not be underestimated, everyone says that ukraine can advance, but russia can also start an offensive and we are in touch with the military inspector of tsepsky, mr. serhiy. i welcome you on the air. here is the probability that russia will go on the offensive . for quite a long time concentrates a sufficiently large amount of e-e combat resources to carry out such an attack and in principle they had more than one chance to carry out such an attack, instead it should be understood that despite the large concentration of forces a large concentration personnel of weapons equipment, the adversary can't, not that he can't, but has vulnerabilities or, let's say, flaws in his planning, because his method of conducting hostilities is absolutely predictable, and as we

already said here, intelligence works in ukrainian the effectiveness of the use of e-e fire striking means is much better and that is why all the enemy’s attempts to attack exactly in the asphalt direction until what time hmm were defeated, that is why we are now observing a certain e-e tension in the kremin forest where the enemy is trying to advance by using the only advantage available in this situation, namely infantry units, so yes , this concentration of forces looks threatening. but i think that the ukrainian defense forces will be able to cope with them as they coped three months before and if we talk about training of the ukrainian army before the offensive, what weapons are needed for a successful offensive to liberate the occupied territories, what is the most important thing you know today, we need everything, we need armored vehicles, we

need means of transporting personnel we need engineering e-e equipment in order to eliminate these defense structures or obstacles in the way of advancing troops , we need a larger number of rockets, we definitely need aviation, and we are not talking about aviation of western models, because most of the equipment of which is now in this e-e company will be operated by ukraine - this is soviet-style equipment, and it is more appropriate to use it in this case, it is more appropriate for me to use aviation equipment produced during the soviet era, because it is more curtailed. if you want more of orchestrated e-e from soviet land equipment, therefore, the need for this equipment is extremely high means of development extremely intelligence sorry, extremely needed and needed in large quantities well, prepared resources prepared resources and

ammunition play an extremely important role in the continuation of this offensive, the continuation of these operations because it is necessary to understand that it is one thing to prepare resources and troops for defensive operations. it is quite another to prepare troops for offensive operations , and this work is being carried out and ukraine has all chances to make the spring summer company of the 23rd year successful, so you mentioned aviation , please stay in touch with us , yes, ukraine is asking western countries to provide modern aircraft such as f-16 typhoons, at the same time, western countries are ready to transfer miguel are transferring mige mig-29, while britain even earlier purchased two helicopters from ukraine , the juice king, kings of the sea, these helicopters were in the service of the royal navy, they are quite old, not too fast, do not carry weapons , at the same time, they are needed in ukraine, correspondingly

, the elephant dale became the first a journalist who saw how the ukrainian military uses these helicopters, this helicopter served faithfully in the british naval forces for many years, but now it flies in other latitudes, this king is one of two military helicopters that great britain handed over to ukraine, an iconic british aircraft that can perform a lot the functions of delivering, rescuing and carrying out military surveillance together with the crew, we are going on patrol to the south of ukraine, this is an old model of a helicopter, it does not launch missiles, but it can to play a key role during the transportation of troops or equipment to the battlefield and does it in a special way, it was also used to evacuate the wounded and rescue pilots who surrendered to enemy territory during missions , ukrainian pilots are close to this philosophy . the ministry likes it because it is extremely good piloting, based on

the practice of our british colleagues, he showed himself to be one of the best in combat operations for transportation. and this is footage from aboard another british helicopter of the same type over 40 years ago and when it made its first flights during another military conflict these ukrainian pilots weren't even born yet but the craft still looks exactly as it did in 1982 during the falklands war - it's one of the many all king helicopters used by the british military to recapture the islands in the south atlantic from the argentine forces this is a great helicopter extremely flexible with good capabilities it can do almost everything this man piloted a helicopter during the war for the falklands islands - says the rotorcraft then changed the course of history. because it was he who delivered the british general to port stanley, after which the argentines capitulated, it was quite an interesting operation

, if we do not take into account the weather, by that time the armistice had not yet been signed, so the helicopter flew in the stem not only fighting with weather and also to stand against the belligerent argentinians on the same helicopter during military service, prince andrew also flew to the falklands , thousands of kilometers from ukraine in the south of england, the third one is being prepared for dispatch the sea king is here and the ukrainian military engineers also conducted special training for them, is this machine not too old for combat operations, they are old, they have undergone modernization , we need them very much no and i believe that this is only the beginning of joint work and he is right britain has others too helicopters of the seking type, which, on the initiative of the government, can also be sent to ukraine, ukrainian pilots

will only be happy with this, this is the story of the life expectancy of such helicopters. you know it depends on the intensity of combat operations tasks or official tasks in general. and you know, i can disagree with the fact that a 40-year-old helicopter is already too old because the equipment that is currently used by the ukrainian armed forces. if we talk about helicopters, the age of this equipment is much older produced in the 60s and 70s ago, the equipment transferred to great britain is extremely important and necessary for the ukrainian armed forces, and when you and i talked about the need for equipment for offensive operations, i was talking about the means of delivery having including such helicopters as all king because they allow you to transfer small units there to perform special tasks and evacuate wounded servicemen, which preserves life and

health and allows you to return to service a much larger number of servicemen compared to the occupiers but the latest is not the latest , it is a car. here is another similar military equipment . there are aircraft in western countries that may be needed by the ukrainian military. it can work with the ukrainian military. do you know today, if we are talking about the mass transfer of equipment, we must first create a system of operation, maintenance, and repair of this equipment, because it is one thing to transfer this equipment , and it is quite another to maintain it, and one pilot requires from five to eight personnel who is engaged in the maintenance, repair and combat support of this equipment, therefore the question is more broadly, namely, the creation of prerequisites for the transfer of such equipment. and if

we talk about specific samples, then here they can to be enough well, let's say so, aircraft of a rather respectable age, which are almost not used, but we really needed them, such as warthogs, attack aircraft a-10, such as airplanes hornyk hornyk, maybe mirage and so on and so on, that is, it is necessary to understand that for effective combat, athletes on we need not only qualitative but also quantitative indicators, because the russians have an air fleet that is 6-8 times greater than the capabilities of the ukrainian air fleet of the combat fleet, therefore dear planes and dear helicopters that can be transferred e-e can be useful in the cause of liberating ukraine from the invaders well, how important is a-a for the offensive, if we come back and talk about the future ukrainian offensive, how important is it to have superiority in the air, this is extremely important because it is necessary to understand that a-a to ensure

the effective use of ground armored groups without reliable cover from the air is impossible, especially now when we are faced with the facts that the russians use so-called shielding or planning bombs, that is, when the planes do not enter the zone of damage of our air defense systems, but they are able to strike and quite vulnerable strikes against the e-e combat columns of the ukrainian troops, therefore, there is only one way to deal with this threat: to destroy the carriers , that is, to destroy the aircraft . to perform these tasks , that is why it is critically important for us to have superiority in the air, at least in the directions of the offensive actions of the ukrainian troops, because, as i already said , any number of aircraft that can be transferred and will be transferred will play an extremely important role in the future ukrainian offensive, because talking about

air defense systems in the offensive well, it somehow resonates with the very concept of offensive and defense, they will not win the war. yes, poland transfers slovakia transfers and by the way, poland cannot transfer poland can transfer more migs that it bought in germany, but information appears that germany allowed to transfer these older ones planes of ukraine, how many migs are needed in ukraine, you know. well, migs are a rather specific type of aircraft that actually allows you to use them for air combat , that is , to strike at ground targets . it is a little unfair to talk about the possible transfer

of other types of soviet-style aircraft to us today, because we have a corresponding system, as i already said, in the operation of technical support and repair. there may be attack aircraft of the su type, it may also be possible for older migets of the 25th to help . this is also included. to a panicked macedonia and these are helicopters that at one time ukraine transferred to macedonia to protect the independent e-e independence of this country, so it is not only about airplanes , it is also about helicopters that can perform much more and a more extended range of combat tasks, mr. sergiu thank you very much for joining the broadcast. serhiy grabsky, a military observer, was in touch with us in bucharest. the black sea security conference is taking place

. more than 50 countries and organizations are participating in it. they are discussing how russia's war against ukraine affects the black sea region. this meeting is taking place within the framework of the international crimean platforms minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba said that real peace involves the restoration of territorial integrity of ukraine and the return of crimea under ukrainian control kyiv calls for the demilitarization of the black sea and offers to integrate the anti-aircraft missile defense systems of ukraine and nato allies in the area of ​​the black and baltic seas, according to kuleba, the events of the last year have shown that a threat to one is a threat to all security to make a comprehensive security system for all countries in the region that threaten me how can the black sea be made what the baltic sea has become? true peace means the restoration of internationally recognized borders

of ukraine; true peace means a safe homeland land for the crimean tatar people in the ukrainian crimea, real peace means grain ships in the black sea, not warships, and a world in which the rule of international law, not force , reigns. hanna shelest, director of the security studies program of the foreign policy council , ukrainian prisma fanigan welcomes you to the air. to make the black sea a sea of ​​nato. this is what this statement means. good evening . today , not only the representatives of ukraine talked a lot about this, but of course it is more like a dream or they talked about substantive things, understanding that we have two countries that are not members of nato, ukraine-georgia

, plus the russian federation, which will not disappear anywhere. it is impossible to talk about the black sea as a nato sea, but we are talking about nato being much more present here in the black sea. of course, about the fact that a corresponding strategy was formed to increase the presence of the naval forces and that the three littoral countries that are members of nato play a more serious role in terms of maritime security, because of course we know their role in general and their position in relation to the russian aggression, but here is the issue of maritime security. they still remain quite in limbo. well, ukraine is not a member of nato, but how can ukraine do this? wow, you know, it is interesting enough , first of all, let's not forget that ukraine even since two years ago when we received the status partner of enhanced capabilities. we received enough opportunities for joint exercises, patrols , some joint actions that we could carry out with nato, and we already then, a year before the aggression , called on nato to be more present in the

the black sea region, including because of the position of turkey - this did not happen because they believed that there should be such a regional responsibility, as they called it , of the six littoral countries regarding security in the black sea region. unfortunately, we saw what this led to a year ago, but today that all these ministers of defense and foreign affairs of different countries who were present in bucharest at that conference , especially our baltic colleagues, repeated the fact that ukraine should learn that the vivny summit should give an absolutely different the signal than the bucharest one in 2008, by the way, the conference itself was held in the same building where the summit was held until 2008, where ukraine did not receive an action plan regarding membership, and today many politicians made these analogies with 2008. what will we do in vilnius in 2023 it is necessary not to repeat the mistakes that were made then regarding ukraine in particular, that is, the understanding not to repeat the mistakes

at this summit is present not to repeat the mistakes of the time itself but at the same time , what is the current security architecture in the black sea maybe let's say frankly that at the moment we actually have the russian federation in control of the black sea, first of all, the naval potential of neither romania nor bulgaria can't even come close to being comparable to the russian federation in georgia has lost all its fruit or something in 2008, turkey is a serious naval power, but it is almost not present in the black sea region, all this power is on the other side of the bosphorus, but because they control the bosphorus and dardanelles straits. of course, they can regulate and we are very grateful to the turkish side that they closed the passage to the black sea for russian warships at the beginning of the war, but in fact due to the actions of the russian federation due to changes that were introduced in the spring of last year. well, we do not have a normal security architecture in the black sea region, but this is

changing to things today everyone mentioned another symbolism that exactly one year ago the cruiser moskva a was sunk and on this very day we talked again about the black sea and security here a team from the ukrainian navy a was present it was precisely on this point that they emphasized that both ukraine and our allies can change the situation in the black sea. we can limit the actions of the russian federation. without us understanding how to counter russia as hanna hanna slesest, an observer and a participant of the black sea security conference, there were problems with communication, but we understood that you heard us and we started you, which is the main thing, thank

you, and to other seas, north korea launched how do you think of a ballistic missile in japan? millions of residents of hockey island took it seriously. the authorities ordered them to take shelter. you can hear the sirens sounding . in addition, people received notifications on their phones. there were warnings on television that there was a possibility of a threat of an attack. the transport stopped working. it lasted for about 20 minutes the rocket fell into the sea outside the territorial waters of japan, the japanese authorities declared that such tests are unacceptable and north korea is increasingly conducting missile tests only this year it made 30 such launches and south korea is just as outraged bvc correspondent working in seoul jean mckenzie spoke in more detail about the last launch it was a long-range missile like north korea launched this morning it is possible that it is an intercontinental ballistic missile these missiles can reach the mainland part of the us given the time frame this morning it could have landed very close to japanese territory anyway that's what

the japanese government thought when they ordered the people immediately go to the shelter, however, then it became clear that it would not have landed too close, as north korea explained, what they usually do when they launch such missiles, they launch them into space, however, as this morning showed, the tension here is very high and people are getting more and more nervous. north korea has already released about 30 missiles this year and the rhetoric coming out of penian is getting more and more aggressive from what we have heard over the past few months, there have been repeated threats that they will launch missiles over japan into the pacific ocean to prove that they are capable of striking quite close to the mainland of the united and that they have the technology to target the states so naturally the countries here i think are on high alert and preparing for a scenario that partially explains what we saw on thursday morning we have the usual condemnation this morning from south korea , japan, the united states that this launched missile threatened to disrupt peace and stability in northeast asia and

called on north korea to return to the negotiating table, the reality is that north korea is becoming a threat to south korea japan and the united states because diplomatic efforts to force north korea to give up its nuclear weapons have failed and north korea refuses to negotiate what it is doing seems to be quite successful in creating more and more sophisticated weapons we do not know what weapons north korea has been testing theoranka but this is an important week for north korea because it is celebrating the 11th anniversary of the rule of kinchan , they are known to like to show off their military progress on these anniversaries. perhaps today north korea tested a new model of missile and we may hear details about this missile from north korea in the coming hours or not, we will end our issue on this more or less ask on our website bbc.ua also subscribe to our pages in social networks so as not
