[000:00:00;00] the very fast future of russia from the point of view that russia is rapidly zeroing itself out. well, this is a fact. and this is definitely what is happening in belgorod. this is the beginning of a major internal war in the region that suffered the most from the war. the government has already started to help. the first subsidies have already been distributed . the cabinet of ministers announced this at a meeting. prime minister of ukraine denys myhal uah 588 million will be allocated from the budget of the dnipropetrovsk, donetsk , zaporozhye, kyiv, odesa, poltava, and kharkiv regions for the implementation of 26 projects this year within the framework of joint european by the investment bank of the emergency program, these 26 projects are aimed at restoring

hospitals, educational institutions, police stations, public and cultural centers, even if the russians do not defend the crimean bridge with drones or rockets, everything that will destroy it is only a matter of time, because nato's goal is great, no air defense system will protect the crossing in this case, a certain military armed forces forces of ukraine, a volunteer of the special unit, political scientist kyrylo sezonov , among other options for destruction, they also call the work of other forces. of the armed forces of ukraine, a volunteer of a special unit, a choir, a political scientist, mr. kyrylo. we congratulate you. good day. let's not be confused about the situation at the front in general , but from your extreme posts, posts on facebook , in particular, you write there, well, several posts dedicated to the ukrainian bridge, some kind of smog or training. some anti-terrorist or something but we can connect

this story in the context of the statements of oleksiy reznikov , who at a meeting with ben vulis, his colleague from britain, the minister of defense, said that it is possible that british missiles are already more ranges are already possible and have been applied. what is the fate of the crimean bridge? let's start with this question, because the de-occupation of crimea as a whole depends on it. well, a different diplomat, he says it is always possible, and our special intelligence services do not indicate specifically what is happening. that is, we understand that the majority of special operations are carried out. well, and the sbu and the ministry of defense and the intelligence of the gur and other units, we will know this in the best case after victory. and yes, the bridge is the main one. and the land corridor, which uh, the strike of the uh, ukrainian military can cut off and is

the bridge over which military supplies go in crimea is also a narrow city and it can be destroyed with rockets, you can use drones , er, training has already taken place. they are training and we are training, that is, if necessary, this bridge will be cut, i just remember from last year, practically there after immediately after the large-scale invasion in the spring, they began to strengthen its defenses. yes, and that means some popovs there are installing anti -drone nets, water surface assessments, and the like we can talk about the fact that the russians really have no protection against, well, let's say this, modern e-e missiles that are already arriving and will be arriving in the near future to the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, well, there are means of impression, there are means of protection , this is logical, and in fact, anti-drone combat is now even much more important than drones in 2014, yes, in 2022, the throne, well, it’s our

eyes, it’s the shock force , it performs completely different functions, and so we also suffer from it. drones , russian armor, a lancet. i think it’s called a big problem ударные well, the enemy defends himself as best as we can, and now i heard that akhmetova zab'stal is starting to release something about this project . i haven't seen it in reality yet, but the combatant said to see some protective nets for dugouts for fortifications for steel fortifications from such drones, but it is very effective to protect a dugout to protect some kind of fortification from drones is possible, but to protect a bridge of such a length , well, excuse me, it’s easier to make a tunnel out of it, that is , i think that whatever the papillo, whatever the boats, whatever the nets they hang, but

will arrive will arrive either a missile or a drone or a sabotage operation will be a very, very large target and it is impossible to completely defend about the events in the belgorod region , i also want to talk to you about the assessment of the situation in general. what do you think is the potential of this legion? will be able to achieve the goals that they declare. what do you think? well, i don't know what they really want to achieve, what is their real potential , because how many personnel, how many weapons, how much what is it? well, for any unit, for any army it's a secret for everyone else, it's clear, but they've already done a lot, they've advanced to the belgorod region , they, uh, apparently, they were taking pictures last night in the kursk region near the village of glagoleva, it 's not far from the border with ukraine. that is, there 's already panic already, as they say, many russians have finally found out that is in the belgorod region

, it belongs to russia, that is, they are used to watching tv. sorry for the cynicism . look at how they say how they crush dill. they like how their boys kill and rape looters. well, what about somewhere in ukraine it's not a pity for the russians, it's not a crime at all, but here , what are we doing here , a friend who seems to have stories on their territory. everything is coming, people with weapons are coming, some kind of equipment is coming, and another said that the kremlin is not ready for such a development, how to block, how to stop this legion, the fight against russia and the russian volunteer corps by special forces is just as logical, but the special forces

remained near kiev and under bakhmut, to throw combat units with combat experience who know how to fight for a large-scale operation , firstly, we need a lot of them, secondly, they are tied up in the donetsk direction, on bakhmut , on avdiivka, on marinetka, on ugledar, they are needed there, enterprises will be there transfer to, so to speak, protect the defense of their own borders. i believe that they will. what is it? well, there are no alternatives. and about this, deputy minister hanna the painter told me this morning, it seems. some units of the zaporizhia direction will be thrown over. well, because the police are unable to stand up to the military, i say as a military man, different skills and different training, different weapons , different functions of the task, and throw against this corps people with combat experience who fight , know how to fight, throw against them mobilized or conscript soldiers, well this is, i'm sorry

, meat, that is, we need to transfer combat units and recall them from ukraine, that is, it is already working, the russians, the kremlin will be forced to withdraw some troops from ukraine front and throw them to the defense of their voters, this is for our kirill, in fact, it is already happening even immediately after this single such precedent in the belograd region. yes, what did you start the discussion with? and i would continue with a clarifying question, what is the future fate of these formations they fight as part of our er, well, as part of the armed forces, in particular, they help our defenders, i mean the battalion, this legion of freedom and the russian volunteer corps, this corps if we talk about the beginning of er, well, let's say spring, april, the month rather the beginning of de-occupation, then there was an influx to the legion of freedom at the level there

, more than 200 fighters immediately joined this legion, and it was such, you know, a victorious, good step to strengthen what could happen more russians became more active and participated precisely on the side of ukraine, but of course they defended their interests, defending their independent russia in the near future , which means that it is situationally beneficial for us, this is true . i agree with you, but this is not a ukrainian operation there are no ukrainians there, they are not planning this operation, they are not crossing the border, we have our own war somewhere with the aggressor, and the court is a russian issue, the russians fight as russians, that is , the rebels against the putin regime, this is their internal matter, of course we are on the side of those who are against putin , but we do not interfere can we offer a negotiating area, say that there is no need to fight, we need to hear the voice of communication or well, how do we get out on the 14th, they said to sign some kind of minsk agreements, well, to give autonomy, well, we

can do it in the order of trolling, but this is a purely russian issue and the russian volunteer corps - this is what it emphasizes, they are russian, they are on their own land, they are liberating their country from putin's regime, all of ukraine, russia, our war here is of no use, i understand that this is the official version, but it has the right to be and this will be the main version, this is the russians, this is their internal the question is that we have nothing to do with this, as we will not have anything to do with the events in belarus, when the regiments from the face of kolinovsky will return there . thank you. let's hope that this story is not far off. of the armed forces of ukraine, a volunteer of the special unit horde, a political scientist, was with us, thank you, in the suburbs of bahmut, the intensity of fighting decreased during the day, deputy defense minister hanna malyar reported this, this does not mean that the enemy is weaker, on the contrary

, it is trying to strengthen itself on the flanks and is betting on artillery fire, carrying out constant shelling. at the same time, our troops manage to advance little by little in the city . the number of enemy assaults is reduced. the enemy replaces units. our defenders control part of the district. the south-western part of the city is a trap for the occupier in the direction of bakhmut , the occupiers are suffering large-scale losses of resources for the offensive. what has happened now in the donetsk direction, in the luhansk direction, maybe about bakhmut, about avdiyivka, let's talk with vladyslav seleznyov, an expert as an elder of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine

congratulations, mr. vladyslav and glory to ukraine yes, hero glory well, the first question is, you always know about bahmut , it always applies there, the picture is variable in the context , do you remember prigozhin’s statement and let’s say that of the variable map, someone somewhere advances, who retreats, who in which ticks, who takes whom in the environment doesn’t take anymore. and finally, if you use today’s news , for example, our commander of the armored ground forces shows a video of how our defenders around bakhmut destroy the russians and their positions on the other side, such publications like the washington post or, let's say, the press service of the pentagon gently, you know, with caution, but states that it is true that bakhmut is mostly under the control of the russians , but they ask the question whether the russians will be able to hold it. how do you assess this whole situation as of now, will the russians really be able to receive bakhmut in the future? well, as far as i am concerned, both those and those are right. i mean our american partners, the journalists who

talk about the fact that bakhmut is actually completely under the control of the russian occupation army. and general silsky is absolutely right. he is directly in the whirlwind of events, he is absolutely aware of the situation on the side and around bakhmut there, in fact , the ukrainian defense forces are carrying out certain counter-offensive measures in order to keep the russian troops in semi-attack, which control the completely destroyed bakhmut, regarding the prospects, we know that we have heard the statements brought who declares that in the coming days he will withdraw the rest of his army from the territory of bakhmut . however, we must understand that this process is quite complicated. it requires very careful preparation and comprehensive support, because the troops that are on the march, i.e., moving as part of military columns, can suffer devastating damage due to the effective and efficient work of ukrainian money . is it true or will it be nice to choose

such a tactic in order to withdraw your forces and means from the territory of bakhmut as unnoticed as possible? it is known for sure but the fact that the situation on the battlefield, in particular, on this part of the front , is completely under the control of the ukrainian army, i have no doubts , and here they should, and we should, and we should understand this. the fact is that the russians of course, they lost a huge amount of their troops, primarily personnel, and those strange statements that we have recently become alarmed, they only to a certain extent estimate the real scale of the losses of russian soldiers, including mercenaries from wagner's private military campaign, because during the infantry on artillery assaults, the russian army inflicted huge losses, accordingly, now it needs time to recover and replenish resources. and in what way this time will be spent while the russian army is recovering, you will

act, er, ukrainian army, we will find out i think the nearest prospects, vladislav, you touched on the subject of wagner, prigozhyn, his plans, he said that he wants to get his wards out of the chaos by the first of june, and transfer responsibility for everything that happens in the city, transfer this responsibility to the ministry of defense of the russian federation. what do you think? will they give him the beauty to lead the wagnerites out of the mud, well, first of all, regarding the terms, we understand that information, the word, is a weapon, and of course, to a certain extent, the beauty can manipulate this information in order to maximize to protect one's own army from a devastating defeat that ukrainian artillery can inflict on it during the rotation of forces and means. of course, that process can take place a little earlier than june 1 in order for that to take place under more or less safe conditions. the whole process is second there is absolutely no translation in the fact that

the russian ministry of defense is ready to completely replace prigozhin's army with its own forces and means, because i will repeat myself again, the russian army suffered a lot of losses during not only the bakhmut e-e offensive operation but also accordingly, during other actions in different parts of the photo, primarily on the eastern pass of the russian-ukrainian front, therefore, the russian army also needs to be replenished with appropriate resources, so this situation has very, very much not happened, it is in certain actions in a certain dynamic, because prigozhin’s caveats are absolutely rational uh, he himself talks about the fact that more than 20,000 of his mercenaries were destroyed by ukrainian artillery, i think that here he manipulates digitally and lost the prigozhinsk army, the red one is bigger, nevertheless, the rotation even for uh

the figures announced by yevhen prohoje are also needed for the army of prigozhin, because the losses are such that they determine the complete incapacity or the effectiveness of those remains of the beautiful treasures, which are located in the area of ​​bakhmut, so i think that vertep should still take place, because otherwise the front can sprinkle e-e through not even on and active to a certain extent under the influence of the ukrainian word defense, but at the same time active use of artillery mercenaries can simply flee from these lines and positions where they are because e-e there are sufficient numbers and personnel to to ensure stable and reliable defense there are no certain difficulties, so i think that in the coming days, and i think that this will definitely happen not before the first of june, much earlier, we will see a certain movement of forces and means, first of all, of the russian army of occupation. well and, accordingly, the reaction on the part of the ukrainian army, that this reaction must be devastating, aimed at the total destruction of defensive positions and, in general, those means that operate in the region of bakhmut by

the russian occupying army. this is obvious to me. but how will it be in practice i think let's subtract all the seasons from the nearest one, we'll see. well, in principle, with regard to bahmut, the goal was honor, it was achieved, because you remember the thesis of joseph paydnen, just thousands killed, well, not with irreversible losses. let's say so among the russians . it is in this direction. in principle, there are almost 10,000 of them left there in these same ones. it is precisely because thanks to bakhmut and the armed forces of ukraine that i have a question in the context of our next expected in the context of the same so, you know, you can keep it like this, keep grinding, then withdraw a little. as they say, to more advantageous positions , and already in the presence of a powerful shock fist and weapons and the potential to win back everything there very quickly, well, relatively. the first one who says that we need to wait for a little more weapons because we are not quite ready yet. the statement of budanov

, the head of hormon, who basically uses that rhetoric, says that we need to wait because we are equipped with western weapons, is already appearing. only at a minimum, of course, without naming the number, there may be specific positions, but what else do we really need in order to start this very offensive, this is an artillery war , so we definitely need artillery, it is desirable for the office to be high, for sure. and a sufficient amount of artillery ammunition, because the only effective way in our counter-offensive, which can be implemented with minimal losses for the ukrainian army, it is a thorough preparation of the future battlefield that includes this total destruction with the help of running for with the help of artillery of the enemy's combat positions, we with the concentration of their defense equipment, personnel, ammunition storage places, command posts, control points, and communication of key logistical routes, that is

, due to the destruction of this entire military structure, there will be a contraction in the same military-russian occupation army and it where - in fact, it will not be able to perform its function and, most likely , the attention is on the heels; well, a complex of measures on any part of the front, well, to a certain extent. because it is obvious that the russian army is seriously exhausted from the winter-spring offensive company , that is, it needs to restore resources, although again, in no case should we provide the enemy therefore, any counter-offensive, or rather the stage of preparation for that, our code must first of all be accompanied by thorough reconnaissance and the development of those positions where the enemy is located. well, then combat work for the total destruction of the enemy’s e-e resources and only

after that advancement because it is obvious that if the enemy will be powerful, if he will make a maddened trumpet-type resistance, we can lose a few lives of ukrainian soldiers , and this is unacceptable, yes, you are right . forces of ukraine norway has joined the countries that supported the training of ukrainian pilots on western f-16 fighter jets, the country's defense minister said , assessing what contribution it can make to the process of training pilots of the armed forces of ukraine let me remind you that three days ago, joe biden officially confirmed that the usa will begin training ukrainian pilots to work with f-16 fighter jets, at the same time last monday , the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of the netherlands announced that the training of ukrainian pilots will begin very soon

, western countries will help us with planes and with the retraining of our pilots. and we are for this it is time to prepare the infrastructure for the use of f16 from our airfields , aviation experts valery romanenko emphasizes this, saying that this type of aircraft has too small a wheel, and therefore the ship will be heavy work from our existing runways . how long can the process of bringing the infrastructure to the necessary minimum last? the statement of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, who, after the meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, announced that work on

the concept of aviation development has begun in ukraine, taking into account transition to new types of aircraft. tell us what kind of concept this is and how long it can all last, well, even the types of aircraft. we discuss the f16 all the time, yes, although we would not give up some types, we were especially interested in the flying radar that complemented the f-16 to of a normal air defense system, and ah, in general, combat operations of aviation, since all this is accepted in nato countries, first of all , what does the new system mean, well, we will western countries will help us with the supply of aircraft and the retraining of our pilots and technical staff, but during this time we have to prepare the infrastructure for the use of these aircraft from our airfields, for example, yes, because uh, in the f-16, you can see what a

small wheel there was, so it is visible on the video, and it will be difficult for him to work from our airfields runways. he usually works from their asphalted runways. we have slab runways. yes, with joints, and he will have to choose or it means to reduce the combat load, which is not very interesting. thoroughly clean before their start thoroughly clean the summer lanes from stones and everything that can suck their engines and it has only one, unlike our planes , besides, we will need to rearrange our navigation systems according to nato standards , learn to transmit information, the plane is no longer alone by itself, a combat aircraft is in the air, it is constantly provided with information , either from ground radars or from take-off

radars, providing information about its movement along the target, about the situation in in the air, we will need to prepare all this. besides, we also need to prepare approximately 10 people from the technical staff who will service it. well, that's all. it's obvious, these questions are yes, in general, i am yes, judging by the context , everyone these issues were just discussed so that we have to prepare the infrastructure for the use of new western fighters , so far we are talking about the f16, well, probably some other planes too, it is not excluded that we will get well , you see, for now we are only asking and insisting to provide us with more and more weapons, in particular f16 missiles with a longer range, the russians are still trying to reproduce some new types of missiles, in particular , the techma concert already showed off the serial production

of the so-called boroboynik missile, i wanted to hear your expert opinion, the only thing i will note is that it is already in the media the russian ones were called a missile with increased combat capability and it can be used both, let's say , launched from rotorcraft and from combat aircraft. of such active sanctions , and secondly, to what extent it is dangerous for us, another analogue no yes, what is an armor-piercing missile - this is a standard missile known there since the times, that is , before the vietnam war, well, the times of the vietnam war there, around the end of the 60s , and the s8 missile, which is widely used by our and russian air forces in battles, and now, that is, including the boyarka, is the same as shells for 152 mm caliber guns, yes

, the most massive ammunition is modern, ah, what did the russians do, we use these s8 caliber missiles 80 mm yes and that's what we got from the united states, the hydra and zone missiles what is the difference, the s8 missiles have a range of 2-3 km there, and the zone has a range of 8-9 km there, respectively , the american hydro, the russians simply installed a new engine on these s8 missiles, increased the range up to 6 km, the warhead in them was such s8 was 2-3 kg there, they increased it up to 6 kg, and then in some versions, this whole horror, this missile will be produced from the same blocks that were on the helicopters of the blocks there b8 well, if you have seen for such

pods of airplanes, there are beautiful sharp noses below blocks such as polina stand only in the deli. they are there for 20 missiles or there are options for seven missiles. that is, they are missiles that will be used for front-line attack aircraft. nothing more. of course , they are universal, but the s8 was also universal . they were armor-piercing. they were fragmentary, they were with flechettes. it all depends on what will be put on this rocket, but nothing so terrible and ah, well, unusually , there are no russians in this rocket, they have developed many experimental samples of rockets. and now they, you have to learn from them, they immediately all these samples that were in them were covered with dust on the shelves, they are now quickly implementing their production, tell me , here, an expert from defense express talks about the fact that the russians managed to scale the production of daggers in

they said five times before. they could produce 1-2 per month now, given the information they have. they produce up to ten dagger missiles per month. how do they also manage to scale these processes? well, first of all , i have a lot of doubts in a small bag. of this is because well, i don’t know where the defector got these numbers from. maybe they have their own intelligence service. well, our defense ministers give fewer numbers. let’s put it this way, and somehow , these numbers are more believable, but what i want to tell you is that the sanctions were introduced last time. year, but they were the slogan, that is, you can’t give it to the russians, but the russians received billions of dollars worth of radio electronics, so they could, they took a number of their missiles out of production, well, the same one haha-55 did they take out the x55,

did they take out all the other types of production and now they only produce missiles a-a means x 101 missiles a-a well cruise missiles x 101 and caliber and ballistic missiles iskander and dagger oh well, i do not think that they will bring production to 10 daggers because it is you understand that there are long technological chains everywhere the supply of component parts, the possibilities of the production base, etc., and now i don’t think that such a sharp jump is a five-fold jump in estimates of the growth of russian production - this is 20-30%, the maximum estimates are clear. thank you for your professional comments valery romanenko - an aviation expert was from we are in direct communication, what has come to the end of the information hour, ours with hanna we
