[000:00:00;00] the forces of their predecessors in the 30s, this is what concerns the repressions, what concerns the quality and effectiveness of weapons, the patriot , in fact, if we look at the history of this system, there was an episode related to the free in the first zatosi was fighting cancer when this missile first began to be used against ballistic targets, but specifically against iraqi skat missiles and the first applications were not the best, in fact, that is, there were doubts about the extent to which this system is capable of intercepting ballistic targets and it there was a very significant improvement in the modification that we have now just been modernized in order to effectively intercept precisely ballistic targets, in particular, the very concept of interception of this missile was changed , unlike previous modifications where the missile exploded in the air and hit the target due to this

cloud of debris, this missile destroys modification pak three, it hits the target by directly hitting it, that is, with a direct direct kinetic impact, it directly hits the missile and has a radar that allows even without external the illumination of the target at the final stage of the tractors is aimed at the zhubalist missile, that is, in this sense, we now have a real test of these developments in real conditions , unfortunately, we have it on our territory and above our heads, this is all happening, but this system shows what, well, that is it was developed for what it was currently demonstrating before there were modifications after the downing of the scat, er, it was not tested and is now being carried out by ukraine. i would not have remembered such a large-scale application of ballistics. that is, it was

tested in a training ground in the conditions, but so that, let's say , there were dozens of missiles flying there, e.e., ballistic missiles covering the territory covered by the patriot. that's where this weapon fought, but now it is fighting in ukraine already at the next, if not the level of this, in the next cycle of improvement, and the ukrainians now have almost the best experience among european countries in how to counter this and how to combine even different systems and the most modern, including the airesti, which are not in service in germany, and we already have several installations, but we need more, in fact , more new and powerful weapons for the front , this is how president zelensky summed up his three-day trip to the four most powerful countries in europe, so germany provided ukraine with the largest full-scale the invasion of a package of defense aid in the amount of 2.7 billion euros, it included, in particular, 30 leopard one tanks, 20 marder bmps, more than 100 armored

combat vehicles and four modern anti-aircraft guns airrest missile systems, the contribution of france, dozens of armored vehicles, including amx 10 light tanks, france will also strengthen the anti-aircraft capabilities of ukraine, however , the details are not disclosed. an addition to the storm shadow long-range missiles announced earlier. it will also train ukrainian pilots. we remind you that a large-scale air alert is ongoing in ukraine . the map you see on the screen now and we know about the explosion in kremenchuk and the explosions in poltava oblast, in particular, we will inform you, and then we will talk about today's situation and this night, it is once again connected with the fact that ukraine needs 100% air defense , which is impossible without modern fighter jets , the president of ukraine stated this in an address at the summit of the council of europe

in reykjavik he called for ukraine to provide aircraft to protect ukrainian skies from russian missiles a year ago we could not shoot down most of the terrorists' missiles especially ballistic ones and when i ask can we do it now? can we do something when we are united and determined to protect life the answer is you and i in unity will give 100% in any matter when the goal is to protect our people and our europe we also need more of these modern fighter jets without which no system air defense will not be perfect, and i am sure that we will get there. 100% should be our guideline. we should give 0% to the aggressor . britain announced the creation of an air coalition to provide ukraine with aircraft, the deputy chairman said on the air of the telethon.

office of the president of ukraine, ihor zhovkva, according to him, the leader of the european countries made such a decision precisely as a result of the visit of volodymyr zelenskyi, and britain means by this coalition the supply of aircraft and the training of pilots, and the training of pilots will begin very soon. and our pilots will very quickly learn to pilot western such thus, even today , only from those countries that you listed as part of the aircraft coalition, we have great britain, we have the netherlands, we have belgium, we have er, some other countries, but we will definitely work. and we really hope that literally in the coming days the number of members of such a coalition will grow, and the decision to train ukrainian pilots has already been made by several countries and these trainings should start very soon, so let's start from the last words of britain, the netherlands, belgium serhiy, how can the maps unfold further and how each country from these three, at least the others , we will not say now can be used

by planes getting into ukraine, what could be the ways, again here as how it was with tank coalition of the task or with the artillery coalition to supply e-e long-range e-e guns caliber 155 mm, the task is complex, that is, there are several e-e countries that can perform a certain part of the tasks , let's say in which countries there are aircraft that they can transfer as or through what they can maybe they are redundant for them to some extent or they for example want to update their aircraft fleet combat e other countries can for example provide training like britain which does not have planes in the f-16 but they for example can provide training for pilots or provide funding or solve positional issues , which in this case are very many because this is probably the most difficult of the most difficult types of weapons that can be used on the battlefield , there is nothing more complicated, so in

this complex they will be solved each, each, each participant will perform a certain part of the tasks for the sake of one common goal , so that in the end we will get a modern combat aviation of the nato countries, but the fact that the countries have already started talking about training ukrainian pilots, but for now, potentially only the provision of aircraft is a good signal for us. i think it is a good signal, because if we recall one of the arguments against the priority provision of aviation to ukraine, it was that, well, we would provide you - maybe we talked about it but it takes a long time to train, your pilots will train for a long time and you need weapons now on the battlefield , that’s right . let’s better another weapon.

and accordingly, one of these components is solved, but, but, in addition to the pilots themselves, do you need to train the personnel to service, do you need to have funds for maintenance, and you need to provide it with missile equipment, these planes are actually, in fact, this is the list tasks to be solved by this e-e coalition of fighters, it is not just about getting a certain number of fighters, it is about ensuring their operation in a stable mode, that is, so that they can be repaired they could be armed, they could be modernized if needed, losses could be replenished, which, unfortunately, are inevitable when using any weapon, so actually, well, the task is quite difficult, very difficult, now information from public news reports about an explosion in vinnytsia correspondents of public , we remind you that the air alert continues and now zhytomyr region and kyiv should hear us as much as possible and go down to the shelter

, please take care of our safety. we are talking about the aviation coalition, and with such optimistic headlines today, and in particular, after may 16, the foreign media exploded, in particular , politicians and sky news wrote about the iron dome russia meets meet the ukrainian iron dome, these are not too bravura headlines, considering the fact that the patriot system is now working for us to talk about what is an analogue of the iron dome, although it clearly does not close 100%, but we have a patriot even like the iron dome, israel does not close ukraine, in fact, it is iron the dome is a bit of marketing, and the term in the sense of marketing is a weapon, and its role in the mass media is exaggerated, in fact , the iron dome protects against fairly simple missiles, and in fact the largest missiles

can be such as those of hezbollah and hamas, which are simply used en masse. they are not from water pipes, you can assemble something similar to a rocket and launch it from a densely populated urban quarter of the territory of israel and hope that it will teach in a hospital, in a house, in a car and kill someone. iron dome can intercept targets a but there is a much more serious relationship much more dangerous weapons used unfortunately against us by russia weapons that were created to , for example, to hit the positions of strategic nuclear weapons of the united states in underground mines mine mine missile launchers or aircraft carriers or there are still some difficult and difficult goals and we have to deal with it, so i am sure to some extent, of course, it is worth avoiding such

really colorful generalizations about the fact that now we will knock down everything and destroy everything fully protected, unfortunately, there is no need to do this, there is no need to exaggerate one's own capabilities, but at the same time, the tasks that the ukrainian air defense is currently solving are to some extent more difficult than the tasks that the israeli air defense is successfully solving, we want to talk to you about the specifics of these massive attacks let's remind our viewers that in may, russia changed its tactics of mass shelling, now it is simultaneously attacking ukraine with missiles and strike drones mass attack on kyiv on may 16, the regional military administration regarded as the densest since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, russia hit three directions simultaneously with missiles and drones, and the time interval between launches was also short , the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine reported that nasheppo shot down all air targets. and these are six dagger ballistic missiles

, nine private caliber missiles and three iskander missiles also shot down six iranian strike missiles and three russian orlan reconnaissance drones. since the beginning of may, russia has already carried out 10 massive attacks on various regions of ukraine, all of them quite massed, and in particular on the night of may 1, strategic bombers launched over ukraine, let us remind you now 18 cruise missiles in the period from may 3 to may 8 , in the ukrainian airspace behind more than 100 attack and reconnaissance drones, unique on may 9 , russia struck a new attack with cruise missiles on may 13, a new attack with drones and here is the night of may 18 again attack with rockets and drones, the military say that it is extremely insidious, even the military, who already have experience in this war since the moment of the full-scale invasion, can you serhii stand to explain such fireworks are just winged missiles of various modifications of anti-aircraft ballistic drones, sometimes they don't even tell us immediately

about the forces of our armed forces of ukraine, air defense, but what kind of aircraft was flying. that is, they also need a certain time. what is happening? russia is trying to change its tactics once again they tried and did their air attacks several times, that is, there was a period when they actively and most actively used e-e firewood, not chess, there was a period when they most actively used cruise missiles caliber, and they were launched both from the sea, as it is happening now, and on land, and then it started like this, at this price, according to the official information of our air forces. i would not make such assumptions. soviet rockets e-e with anti-e-e which were used were designed to destroy aircraft carriers yes

and all this family e then e we recall there was a wave of use of e-e ester complexes s-300 which are used to impress land targets again weapons which in this is not the case in this configuration it is accurate and not very effective, but at the same time it has a very high terrorist potential because these missiles have a lot of extras if you shoot these missiles at populated areas, they did it , the consequences can well, we have seen these consequences , that is, now there is another attempt to do something. what is our western part of the country er, are the directions already in principle all clear directions er, that is, where to shoot this weapon allows, that is, if it has a radius of coverage, in principle, the whole of ukraine falls under it , that is, to say that they suddenly started more to shoot in western ukraine, again, there is uh. they are trying to find targets that are not covered by air defense , again, there is no total full coverage. they

are trying to find vulnerable places, vulnerable targets, and accordingly, because of this, it begins . no, we weren't interested in er if the aggressor now turns out that they are becoming such a priority target, maybe it is related to this, so well, in fact, er, the priority is mixed, too. we see what is changing except constant terror, direct terror of the civilian population in the winter, the heating season in our country was marked by shooting at our power system, now the goals are unclear, but most likely it was just probing the updated reinforced air defense system, but if we return to the ukrainian energy industry, ukrenergo is asking ukrainians to reduce electricity consumption. the press service of the company did not cause such a need, the latest attacks of russia on the territory of the country, as you might think

, the massive shelling did not cause damage energy infrastructures but despite this, there is some deficit in the power system, the decrease in capacity is explained primarily by repair work at power plants that were attacked during the fall and spring . you can help the power system by reducing electricity consumption in the evening from 19:00 to 22:00 by turning off several generators -devices or using them day or night, you help reduce the load on the power system, the message says, ukraine exports electricity to the eu, but only when its surplus is in the system, about it on the air of the marathon, the only news was told by the chairman of the board of the national energy company ukrenergo , volodymyr kudrytskyi. he added that there is a technical possibility for export, but it is not used due to the limited amount of electricity, with the priority of providing domestic consumers during peak hours of morning and especially evening consumption. we are already

limiting exports to zero in order to enable the energy system and domestic generation to cover ukrainian consumption, and for us, as in winter, the priority is precisely ukrainian consumers, therefore, exports are now only partial, and we are already observing a certain shortage of electricity in the evening hours, which has to be covered by additional additional loads on power units, sergey, how to maintain a balance in this situation, on the one hand, exports are additional income for our budget and money for the restoration of the power system, and on the other hand, well, we see that there are efforts to avoid the disconnection of those to which we are partially accustomed, but we also understand the economic consequences of them, that is, what is the golden mean we can find here well, actually, what is happening now, that is, the regulation of kyiv, it is actually an attempt to find this golden mean , it is necessary to explain something that is not

obvious to everyone, the object seemed like this , we may have a shortage of electricity and at the same time we are exporting electricity, what is this a discrepancy is possible, in fact there is no discrepancy. there is a very serious daily unevenness in the consumption of electricity, it is somewhere around 30%, it can be established, that is, between the maximum consumption in the evening and the minimum consumption during the day or especially at night is approximately like this now, the difference in power consumption can be about three 30% a third, what does this mean that the electricity produced at the power plant cannot be stored, well, at least in such volumes that will allow this situation to be removed, respectively when we have a surplus of electricity and we need to either consume it domestically or reduce electricity generation, which is difficult and not cheap and creates a large number of technical

problems, especially if we are talking about nuclear generation e there, well, for ukrainians, it is not actually implemented and er or you can sell it abroad, this surplus, this possibility , there are capacities through which you can do it er, there is a ukrainian energy system synchronized with the european energy system, respectively. when we have a surplus of electricity in the morning at night and there is a demand for this electricity in europe, logically, it is. by the way, of course, we its applications will be formed in advance, yes, it’s just that there are energy experts, uh, they say about predictability , in fact, remember how in february march at the beginning of a full-scale invasion of uh, russia er launched fakes about turning off all devices from the network , and then we already began to understand why, in order to destabilize the ukrainian energy system, they already had it as our goal even then, although there was no shortage , there is an opportunity to export if there is demand, if

er, european countries make an application to buy electricity there, certain volumes are measured there in megawatts. that is, we need to receive, in such and such a period of time, how many megawatts there are on certain power lines there, certain transformer substations there, and if it that's what happens. well, it's normal. the market mechanism works like that. it works like that. it works between different european countries. there was an attempt to destabilize again . there were such signs. do you even remember if they were inspired by, let's say maybe russia, they were also inspired. do you remember when it was earth day and ukrenergo asked not to turn off electrical appliances, despite the fact that this is a general global trend - it's time to turn off electricity in order to reduce electricity consumption, in fact, such a shutdown could

lead especially to the ukrainian energy system, which is looking for stability, which was undermined by e-e missile attacks that lasted for almost six months after it, i wanted to tell you exactly what and now ukrenergo says that these devices should be turned off , when there was an attack on the energy system in winter, it was cold and dark people basically got used to doing it not something more or less quickly but they did it now when we are talking about it like this again large-scale air alarms, despite the work of the air defense forces, which can be heard despite the fact that there is a certain voltage, will begin to turn off, and this will directly fill that deficit and compensate for that deficit, i would still like to believe in the consciousness of the ukrainian population and that there will be no consciousness in the majority, how to say in this

in the event that there is no consciousness, there will simply be connections according to the schedule, and this question will be a different way, i.e. you turn it off, you don’t, you don’t turn it on, let’s say there is a boiler or there is a washing machine or an electric oven, but no more such an example so that you can give something that consumes a lot of power there or you don't turn it on there between six and nine in the evening or you have from six to 9:00 in the evening just the dispatcher will be automatically turned off or i use the most important thing moderately or nothing at all i won't be like that unfortunately, we can't manage to discuss the extension of the grain agreement with you at this hour , the minister of infrastructure of ukraine oleksandr kobrakov confirmed that the world will continue to receive ukrainian grain, the grain initiative will work by july 18, by now ukraine had already sent more than 30 million tons of agricultural products abroad, and the minister noted that the agreement should work effectively now, russia is creating obstacles since

mid-april without reason , and since may it has actually blocked it by refusing to register a new fleet and carry out fleet inspections which goes to ukrainian ports for loading, almost 70 ships are currently waiting in the territorial waters of turkey, 90% are those who are ready to deliver the products of ukrainian farmers around the world, noted minister brakov we welcome the continuation of the initiative, but we emphasize that it must work effectively, for this it is necessary to eliminate the problems that russia has been creating for several months in a row by sabotaging the inspection and registration of the new fleet. and russia will eventually stop using food as a weapon and for blackmail sergey and what do you think will work in the next two months

grain agreement because despite even her continued russia is still carrying out sabotage without letting the ships pass, and in this situation , perhaps the most important thing is that it will still work during these two months, because before that there were very bad signals uh, moreover , what ships uh, was the period when the ships were not even registered to enter ukrainian ports because there was an expectation that it would all stop. now it will continue, it is clear that russia will sabotage, but the agreement that is being sabotaged but which to a certain extent, at least partially, still works it is better than an agreement that does not work at all, but in this sense it is certainly an undeniable positive. ukraine needs to have as many channels as possible for the export of grain, this is also money for the budget , this is also money for the agricultural sector, this is support for its normal operation, this is the preservation of our role in our markets. covered their own production, it is clear that you need to be prepared for the worst scenarios, actually the agrarians

were preparing for this, there was such a feeling that this could end, er, er, precisely because of the greater number of sources that we we can use the ports of mykolaiv and olvia, what erdoğan said, but i understand that it is obvious today. maybe there will be clarifications, but i understand that there are two options , either the ships of turkish companies or the turkish state were stuck there until february 24 of last year year and have now agreed on their safe exit. is this really an exclusive right only for turkish ships to enter them? i tried to find out this situation uh, that is, re-read this statement in erdoğan's quote, there is the word exit, that is, as far as i understand, it is about uh, no about what these the ports will work, i will be happy to be wrong or to the council so that if

it turns out that such a person really is, then it will be possible to enter these ports and take grain from there, but from what i understand, it is about the fact that certain ships after a full-scale invasion remained in the ports where they stood there under loading under unloading and these ships now after a year more than a year of stay in these ports will be able to leave safely and return to their own to their countries actually that is what we are talking about at least well yes it looks like from the statement that i, er, hmm, we can, ok, then let's try to analyze if this is such a more positive news for ukraine that there will really be an exclusive right to use these ports, how to guarantee security there, and what is the way to press russia on this question itself, which questions the possibility of such a scenario, i.e. to guarantee safety. well, i don’t know, at least i haven’t heard it yet. i’ve read several

comments of ukrainian agro-traders. i haven’t seen any enthusiasm about that what well, now we can still ship something from there. well, i haven't heard that, again, i'll be glad to be wrong. i'll be glad to admit that in fact the situation is much more optimistic than it seems, but by the way , i won't see any information about mykolaiv and olvia about the continuation in the english-language publications either yes, and even there they did not refer to erdoğan's statement in text format. what he said about it at one of the speeches was just mykolaiv and olvia. unfortunately, english-speaking journalists do not know the truth. we must not forget that the election campaign in turkey is currently underway that many statements are really made in the format of speeches and not in the format of some uh-uh written releases, so well, honestly , don't wait so long, after all, the deal is working, it

's all clear if it will work in a wider format suddenly, well, it will be great if they don't will work. well, that's normal too. you said that we should look for even more ways to supply our grain. but we understand that the railway is a road, what could be the ways of the ways, now there are three besides sea export, the one that provides provides the grain agreement. these are indeed land routes and these are routes through the danube, that is, the river route, there are actually three of them. so far, it is clear that there is one more to be found there, in the sense of somewhere else, somehow, somehow, well , it is unlikely, but it is possible to increase the power and reduce delays on those that exist , that is, make it more efficient and cheaper, in fact, ukraine has been doing this since the spring of last year because there was no other way out. so europe helped quite seriously in this, again difficulties arose

related to such political considerations related to these farmers' protests that ukrainian grain lowers the price and will pass again this company but the general mechanisms of grain export they well i don't think they will suffer from this at least the european commission is on our side in to this story and even if it is necessary to somehow satisfy certain claims on the part of european farmers , that is clear. we will not react to the warning, but for now they will react in a compromising way and understand that in ukraine this kind of reaction is not profitable. it seems that the eu budget goes to subsidies. just like agricultural producers, this is exactly the case, and they understand

that if local agricultural producers sell less or less, so to speak, the more they will have to pay extra, so that’s absolutely fine. everyone is counting the money, and the rest is no less. well, it is less important, but still, it is certainly interesting, and how will the russians explain to the domestic market that they walked out of the agreement with such simple pathos, saying that only until may 18 and no extension, and here you can see everything quiet, calm, but i don’t really have such a problem, again, if you look at how they explained, let’s say , the gestures of goodwill from leaving kyiv and zhytomyr, sumy, kharkiv regions, or kherson, which turned out to be no forever from in russia, as they declared it pathetically, it’s nothing , they just changed the picture on the tv screen and if all the explanations ended there , that is, the problem is
