[000:00:00;00] that panton is currently studying such reports and cannot confirm their veracity, given that only yesterday they spread rumors about an alleged explosion of the pentagon, they saw in social media immersed in artificial intelligence that such an explosion allegedly took place, and they caught up with the reality, er, there was not a single one in this , said the spokesman pendulon, therefore, these reports are being studied, however, he added that the united states government provides weapons to ukraine to protect its own territory and has not approved the transfer of weapons to any third parties or couples military organizations, and the government of ukraine also did not apply for such a transfer from its side to the state department, and when asked about it, they said that they do not encourage or contribute to ukraine carrying out strikes or attacks outside its territory, but they emphasized that it is ukraine that decides how namely, to carry out military operations on so-and-so football, currently there are various assumptions

about what is actually happening in the belgorod region, how these events are covered by the american snakes, what ostap's experts say, it was really interesting to read different assessments from military analysts, in particular the american institute for the study of war, draws attention to the fact that if the russian volunteers really penetrated russian territory so deeply as they claim, then this can prove that they effectively bypassed the fortifications and towers that russia erected on the border according to previous reports of the russian the authorities spent about 10 billion rubles on this, which is approximately 12.5 million dollars, so analysts say that if these buildings were really bypassed, this indicates that without e-e reinforcement by military personnel these fortifications are essentially pointless if they can be so easily bypassed and this may also indicate the vulnerability of russian troops in other areas of the border in the temporarily occupied territories

of ukraine. let's listen to the comment of the analyst of the institute of war studies. russian field fortifications and trenches means that it will be difficult for the ukrainians to advance unconditionally it is true that before any war any battlefield and any line of operations but if you do not have enough russian soldiers who are physically occupied these lines then they will not be effective in preventing the maneuver and we know that along the entire ukrainian front, which is a little more than a thousand kilometers, the russian troops do not have enough infantry to physically occupy and effectively defend it completely by the minister of defense of ukraine andriy zagorni kom and after this raid for belgorod oblast, the idea that russian territory is inviolable has essentially collapsed and demonstrated that russia is as vulnerable as any other country. let's listen to this

comment. let's say the inviolability of russia in general as a territory, because at the moment if you all remember that most of the non-explanatory er-er different means er-er measures took place in russia in the form of explosions of some or some other sabotage here we are talking about armed personnel who entered the territory of the russian federation and was there for some time in some territory , in response to our question andrii zavorotnyuk suggested that the purpose of such sabotage could be demonstration actions and their consequence could be the withdrawal of the withdrawal of russian forces from the temporarily occupied territory of ukraine to their own borders in order to better protect them, however, when i asked the analysts at the institute for the study of war whether they had observed any

movements of the russian military, they answered that they had not seen such premises at the moment, although they are following the reports and will be attentive monitor if this happens, natalya ostapa, as you noted earlier, the spokesman for the state department of targets, miller, stated that the us does not encourage ukraine to attack outside the border , responding to a request for comment is it possible that the use of american equipment in belgorod will cool down, or can the events in belgorod affect the us assistance to ukraine in the future, well, at least for now , we do not see such signals, the united states is again studying the veracity of these reports, they cannot confirm whether it is really true that american equipment was used, but after all, we also remember that another rammstein-style meeting on the defense of ukraine is scheduled for this thursday , where the allies, led by the united states , will discuss further support ukraine also recently announced the transfer of f16s and the start of training, which should take place soon, and when it was also clarified

with the representative of the state department whether, in principle, this story with belohorod could potentially affect the transfer of f16s, because we remember that one of the conditions is also not for their use on the territory of russia , the state department answered that in principle the issue of the zf-16 is there, and it has been agreed, and training should begin soon, and ukraine's obligations remain. that's all, in principle there are such signals that now it can somehow affect future aid, we do not see the details at the moment well, but of course we will keep a close eye on this issue, we will observe the administration still says that they were supporting ukraine as long as it will be necessary natalya, thank you for your detailed analysis ostap yarosh was in direct contact with us, who told us about the us reaction to the events in the belgorod region . the belgorod raid by the russian volunteer corps and the legion of freedom of russia was coordinated with the ukrainian military

management, but it is carried out completely independently about this in an interview with my colleague tetyana, ilya ponomaryov, a former russian politician who lives in kyiv and says that he is a political representative of the legion of freedom of russia, said prophetically in an interview with my colleague tetyana. he denies the statement in the press service of the ministry of defense of the russian federation about the alleged defeat of russian volunteer units on the territory of russia and shared some details of the operation , the latest information that served the ministry of defense of russia appeared that this group that moved to the territory and russia from ukraine was destroyed, 70 people were killed, of course, and four apcs, and five pickup trucks were reported in this way. and what information do you have, the ministry of defense, there is something like that, well, this is madness , because we actually have the zone that was changed by the legion of freedom of russia and the russian volunteer corps, it now extends to more than 40 km of the front line. they receive

it there as soon as they liberated two villages on the territory of the belgorod region. that is , they are advancing, they are not even guarded and well, here we are, we see that the russian army simply cannot do anything about it for a very , very long time. what kind of tactics and strategy are there in your actions? well, of course , you can't go to moscow on foot. the main goal is to create such a piece of free russia, raise this one. a white blue-white flag so that he is a major there and so that it can be said that here is this free russia , it has appeared and if it is possible to keep it longer well, and also to distract the russian army from the ukrainian front

on the eve of a huge offensive which all here we are waiting when russia entered the territory during this offensive against the full-scale russian command of ukraine, they hoped that the ukrainians would meet the russians with flowers. but how do the russians meet the russians on the territory of russia? this is actually now, first of all, they were surprised, they did not expect all this, but everything is fine, that is, we have no rivals there well, they are in a mood right now to wait for what will happen next, because no one knows whether

it will be for a long time. a huge rush from various supporters of this regime, they were there as civilians and worked for the local administration and the police. and facebook users, well , anyone can be there. to cross the border, it must be somehow fortified, the territory, er, the money was stolen on these teeth, the coast was built, as er, mr. prigozhin built almost 125 million dollars, they developed it on their project, but we somehow did not see them there, and in well, there was a certain method by the border guards and provided to them

armed formations well, in the end, they simply dispersed and fled, i want a tacit agreement, what is the role of ukraine here, in fact, the role of ukraine here is minimal , that is, there is the armed forces, the composition of the armed forces, e-e , the foreign legion e-e is included in the composition of the region there is a separate russian volunteer corps and the legion of freedom of russia, that is, it is a separate unit of the foreign legion in the composition of a-and there is such a situation that the urvincurate manages the foreign legion, but it is an autonomous unit -is when there was the battle of bakhmut, for example, the legion was there, for example, the rbc was involved in the liberation of the kharkiv region, yes

, the kherson region, but now it is their operation, no, they planned it, and they are carrying it out . of course, this should have been agreed upon with the military leadership, well, precisely because they are part of the armed forces, but there is no role of the ukrainian military there, and on the territory of russia, none of the ukrainian military was joined exclusively by russians. well, there are still a few friends who joined them, are there any weapons there which was provided to ukraine western partners for something important, yes, definitely not, that is, there were tanks there, but these tanks were captured by the russian army during the liberation of the kharkiv region. well , there are certain armored vehicles. well, here i am. well, i

can lie. it’s better not to be there. i don’t know. where are they from here, there are many different people who book cars themselves, but it could be that something happened because of that, and there is information that it could be ipsoda outs who say that it is ukrainian sand, what to distract from distract attention from something there from some possible problematic moments on the front and for them to say that no, it is very difficult for ipso and there are too many videos for you to see. that is , we are delusional . no, of course. there are certain people with the russian opposition so that they start saying well, how is it possible there, the russians are fighting the russians, shooting at the russians, and all this is a provocation by the fsb and this is an operation under

a false flag, a flag, and everything else that it can be a danger for ukraine with from the point of view of the supply of western weapons and in general , the rdk is not the only one, well, we have heard all this many times, but you understand that the original sources here are strong and all honest russians should support it because now a new russia is being born, well, another point of view so it is voiced here and to military experts that this is to some extent such a formative as they say here, sching a-and the situation before the counteroffensive, is this part of it? effectively, and i think that this is actually the most effective help, because in russia , how did they hope that ukraine is not in front of the book

, the border between ukraine and russia, because it is a western partner, and all that other chopped up worries you can't. well, actually, because the ukrainian leadership doesn't want to go to russia . president zelensky doesn't want it. and this is his sincere position, but the russians gave me no obligations. this is our country and we will liberate it. i understand that this information is not completely open, but can you at least we can tell you how powerful these forces are, er, this information is not open at all, but i can say that in general, the composition of the er legion of freedom of russia is four battalions and another battalion is parked in the composition. that is , in general, our base is 5 battalions which

can theoretically be involved in this operation, nato secretary general ann stoltonberg called it an important decision of the us to start training ukrainian pilots because it enables the provision of f-16 fighters and also sends a clear signal that we are this will not be long and russia will not be able to wait for us, the countries that have undertaken to train ukrainian pilots will intensify cooperation on the organization of these exercises on tuesday, providing ukraine with fighter jets, training pilots and providing the ukrainian army with ammunition, the minister of defense discussed npp at a meeting in brussels , our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan is monitoring the negotiations he joins our broadcast from london.vitayu bohdane, did the defense ministers agree today in brussels on any

specific steps regarding the supply of fighter jets and training of pilots, well actually in brussels regarding the f16 regarding the training of ukrainian pilots, this was probably one of the many topics that the ministers focused on. i think that specific decisions are approved at the level of governments or in a slightly narrower circle. maybe for some firmer or more certain terms and dates we heard from the representative of gdańsk, the acting minister of defense in denmark said that it is already possible next month at the end of june or at the beginning of july, at least his country , if we can understand it that way, will be ready to start training course and then, as

his colleagues from the politiko publication in brussels recount his words, i was told for about six months. more about this, but at the same time she completely avoided even any hints about any time frames. this is how she said, pilot training is the first step, because you need to have pilots who can fly those planes, and the next step will be to look at your own planes, now that not yet on the agenda, we do not know how long this war will last, but we know that ukraine will need the ability to defend itself as long as it is necessary during the war and also after the war. therefore, the contribution to, for example , the training of ukrainian pilots on the f-16 will have consequences later or during the war or after the war, but it is a useful investment because it is

a contribution to the security of ukraine. more broadly , the importance of helping ukraine by the western allies was also discussed today by nato secretary general jens stoltenberg, a participant in these meetings, who emphasized that, first of all, it again, specific governments and specific countries decide. nato is, of course, a defense organization for member states, but on the other hand , he emphasized that the atlantic alliance does not actually engage in hostilities before the conflict with russia. he emphasized other things. this is what we must remember that this is what it is. this is a war of aggression. ukraine has the right to self-defense, it defends itself, and the right to

self-defense is enshrined in the statute. turns nato or nato allies into a party to defend against a war of aggression against the brutal invasion of president putin, the minister said that they discussed the issue of providing ukraine with ammunition, there were warnings about the insufficient production capacity to provide ukraine, as well as comments about hungary blocking 500 million dollars from european funds, were solutions found on these issues that concern hungary, for example, the minister of defense from poland, speaking to journalists in brussels, said that this issue has not yet been resolved he stated that among the representatives of the eu countries, the majority, as he said, was

in favor of unblocking the allocation of these half a billion euros for ukraine, and moreover, he said that perhaps next month this issue will be resolved with hungary, the same with nadia , the supreme representative of the eu spoke about this on matters of foreign policy and security, who also stated that the actual program is already working, here are his words. as you know, on march 20, we decided to allocate 2 billion euros. and the supply of ammunition for the ukrainian artillery is aimed at providing 1 million shells over the next 12 months and it will be a three-pronged approach itself before we ask nato member countries to provide ammunition from their arsenals so that we don't have to wait while they manufacture additional the latest figures are much better than what we had just 10

days ago in today i can announce that thanks to this to a specific approach , the member states provided artillery ammunition of various calibers and 1,300 missiles , he said that the new international agreement on security guarantees is not with us, our correspondent was simply needed for training of ukrainian pilots on western f-16 aircraft, myroslava gongadze asked the spokesperson of the air force command who exactly is selected for this training program , as well as the details of the stay of two ukrainian pilots at the american air base in arizona , further in the interview. many are already training now, they are not training, what is happening with regard to pilots, this is also a question. of course, in principle, everyone is asking a lot for pilots, he crossed the line. but we have a secondary

issue. it is a problem because western technology has a completely different philosophy of piloting there, these are completely different technological things if the mig-29 and u-16 aircraft were laid down, they are the same age - they are fourth-generation aircraft. but the f16 has undergone several stages of deep modernization, that is, in principle, pilots can be even more educated and how is it more to have more experience er here and again bet on young pilots who are better able to communicate with the latest technologies with gadgets and so on because actually touch screens are all in the 16th here you just need to understand how it works, like a child playing a computer game, it's the same , a child learns it step by step, for that it takes some time to adapt even the control knob to the mig-29 soviet equipment, it is in the middle, where the pilot controls, here we have it on the side the movement of machines is like a joystick, so it controls like a joystick

. in this way, you need to master this before changing your psyche at the expense of it. well , then the plane will do part of the work for him, for the pilot, and the main thing that needs to be done to learn how to fight on it is the key, they will fly in a week, well, a week, two weeks, how much, how much, who knows, and how much, er, to use all types of weapons , for air, land, and surface targets, to work as part of a pair as part of a link, that is, an aviation unit, and to use all types of these weapons effectively for this you need flight hours, for this you need time in flights with an instructor, then independent flights in simple metaconditions complex metaconditions, this is all achievable level of training, in principle, those pilots and young people who will fly to learn will go it is possible to study in different countries of europe, the united states is determined, they already have 200 flight hours after university, they already have a hundred, tens or hundreds of hours of flight in combat operations on soviet

equipment, have you already determined the terms, how much time will it take to become a pilot and how long is ukraine today has these pilots who can, uh, quickly, uh, master dozens definitely we can’t, we can’t afford to call to send all the pilots at once, we’re still left , we carry out dozens of airstrikes on them every day, we don’t soviet equipment, but we give it, well, there is no other way out, the infantry needs support from the air. if there is no support from the air, more people will die , so there are no options. in this way, there will be dozens of pilots there . they will go in waves. maybe they will go to different countries, as well as the traditional engineers who will serve . that's it. also the second component, which is also needed , and those pilots are already learning english , young pilots are motivated who will go there to study, two pilots were trained in arizona. in our country, yes, training, training, three, but no

the training must be divided into evaluations and evaluations of western american specialists , they put them on flight simulators or flight simulators, which are called in and i say fly. to try to fly, to get angry, to take off, to land, other things were done on the simulator , they did not say in the air force that it would be six months of training, well, the americans came to the conclusion that up to 4 months, and who can someone will master it faster, people are different, everyone is different, there is a different individual preparation, that's why there are such good predictions about learning, and we think that they will do so , download the mobile application with the voice of america , the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service,

questions live . boys who are wanted, we are talking about a three-year-old boy named yaroslav, and i will immediately note that unusual, i would even say without exaggeration , innovative search methods were used in this situation, which fortunately gave a certain result. so, about everything in order yaroslav sytnyk went missing in mariupol together with his mother, it happened more than a year ago at the very beginning of the war, his grandfather ivan mykolayovych is looking for the boy for the last time. he spoke with his daughter-in-law , yaroslav's mother, on february 27, 2022 , she called and said everything is good. well , good. mariupol, it was happening, she said, "u меня всё хорошо

, всё скорого, nothing is needed. this was the last conversation of ivan mykolayovych with his daughter-in-law. since then, she has not contacted him, and yet yaroslav's grandfather says that he has unverified information as if his grandson and his mother were evacuated from the war-torn mariupol and were in russia and in the rostov region . she did not call me at the same time. mariupoli, let's listen to the two in mariupol, we talked, they didn't live healthy, but only when they paid off, we didn't talk last year . in the fall, we last had a rest in september. said the boy's grandfather and uncle, it gives hope that everything is fine with yaroslavchik and the main

thing is that he is alive, but on the other hand, first of all, the information about yaroslav has not yet been confirmed and it is not known where he is actually in russia , personally occupied mariupol or maybe somewhere else. specialists from the osin flow community helped us a lot in this difficult search story. in short , investigators are specialists who, with the help of certain technologies, search for and analyze information that is available in open sources , for example, in the media, on forums, on sites in messengers and, of course, social networks actually managed to find out about yaroslav sitnyk. with the help of in search, here is the child’s instagram page, which was obviously created by his mother, but the last photo was added there on august 16, 2021, six months before the full-scale invasion. and this is already an instagram page actually , the boy's mother's name is nadiya, as
