forces so that it can defend itself in the future from a possible new russian invasion, and it would also be possible to protect those investments that we may hope will come to ukraine after our victory, the economy is actually just about certain money that our partners may provide and are already providing us with, in particular , 23 billion dollars we received from the united states directly in our budget so that salaries and other social benefits can be paid in particular, and she says that she is hoping for private investments because she is talking about some government-to-government investments huge we can't, but private investments are really a panacea, about the fact that in order to ensure them, of course , the rule of law is needed to fight corruption and other problems and during the years that are unfortunately also present in ukraine, and finally, regarding democracy, she mentioned that ukrainians had

two revolutions and they have already proven many times, in particular on the battlefield, that they want to be part of europe, part of the democratic world, and maybe in the future nato will start a prijet bridki by mentioning the terrible disaster in the kakhov reservoir, we will hear i want to say a few words about the kakhov dam and the explosion that happened there. i will start by saying that this is an example of the devastating consequences of the russian war, which puts millions of people at risk. this is a reminder for us and for everyone to support ukraine today, and i am proud that the us government, together with partners and ngos organizations are working diligently to evacuate as quickly as possible, so further in the dialogues on the restoration of ukraine, take part in the minister of defense, mr. reznikov , the deputy prime minister, mr. kubrykov, and

and then the broadcast will continue my colleagues no switch be with the espresso team glory to ukraine this is a program verdict my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all the undermining of the kakhova hydroelectric power station is another war crime of putin's russia in ukraine for the second day the whole world is looking for the culprits of this terrible tragedy on the dnieper, the biggest by the way, the catastrophe of europe in the last few decades, although the answer and the culprits are obvious, they are all obvious , they do not give a clear conclusion yet, neither the councils of the un, nor european structures, nor the united states of america, nor turkey, because the president of turkey rzhepta and erdogan are even negotiating with vladimir putin to create a commission that will determine

who is to blame for the disaster at this hydroelectric power station. everyone is looking for answers to the question of who is to blame, although the answer is obvious because it is russia that is destroying our cities and villages, it is russia that is destroying the infrastructure of the thermal power plant of the hydroelectric power station, as well as e- all structural objects that allow ukraine to live because it is russia that kills ukrainians and rapes women because it is russia that steals childhood from our children from our parents old age and our young men and women are on the front lines of life and this is already a proven fact there would be a war unleashed by russia, all in all, the only question was when the world will finally recognize this and draw the appropriate conclusions , meanwhile, russia will continue to lose live

equipment, live forces and equipment in ukraine as of this morning. ukraine lost 200 of 212,000 people in just the last day , the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 880 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 3,873 tanks, 7,560 armored fighting vehicles, 3,640 artillery systems, 594 rocket launchers, 352 means against the defense of peter 314 planes 299 helicopters 6349 units of automotive equipment 18 ships boats 1136 cruise missiles - 3219 drones 492 units of special equipment f16 promised to ukraine e-e russians

are being pushed out under the bachmouth and is it possible to strike the kyiv hydroelectric power plant we are talking about all this for the next hour i want to present today's guest, our first guest , is a novel, svitan, a military expert , a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine in the reserve , a military pilot-instructor, mr. colonel . good day. good health to you and i am glad that we are on the air. i wish you good health. let's start with the situation around the kakhovka hpp. as a result of the occupiers' detonation of the hydroelectric plant, 29 settlements were actually flooded. this is the information from the minister of internal affairs of ukraine, ihor klymenko. according to him, 19 of them are in the territory controlled by ukraine, and 10 are under temporary occupation. and volodymyr zelenskyy yesterday reacted to the situation around the kakhovka hpp, let's see and hear what the supreme commander of the armed forces

of ukraine said, we will find a way to restore normal life on our land after the expulsion of the rashists, this applies to both water and everything else, it applies to all our regions from kherson oblast to dnipro oblast, from mykolaiv oblast to crimea, the fact that russia deliberately destroyed the kakhov reservoir, which is critically important in particular for providing water to crimea, testifies to this that the russian occupiers have already realized that they will have to flee from crimea, that ukraine will get its own back and make russia pay for what it has done , mr. colonel, do you agree with volodymyr zelenskyi's statement that the detonation

of the kakhovka hpp means that the russians do not have long-term plans for crimea, and these plans are becoming shorter every day. i would rather say that the russians no longer have any plans at all, er, in ukraine , that is, er, there is already an understanding, at least in the military leadership, there may be more it is not up to the political, well, the military leadership of the russian army , there is already an understanding of the fact that they lost this war completely, and from now on, their task is to try to get out of this war with less losses, to get out of ukraine, there may be some army backbone saved as they have there is practically no more army, that's all, the russian army, which is more or less ready for combat, it is now on the territory of ukraine, they can't even solve the problem with belgorod, eh, it throws some territorial defense units there

, that is, not trained people, but dreams combat units from our front are simply not able. there are not enough from the second in other places . they also simply do not have them. therefore, the entire russian army can be said to be on the territory of ukraine . annihilation, therefore, the military leadership of russia, er, this understanding is a-a and well, there is no understanding. by what methods is it possible to a-a leave ukraine without a political leadership until there will be a polish leadership? i mean, we will have to fight, the russian army on the territory of ukraine will die

, but of course they will not be able to leave just like that, here is one of the options. the western flank of the russian grouping of the kherson zapo will somehow protect itself for a few hundred kilometers of the western front for them, that is, the russians are in a big big problem now. from the point of view of the defense of crimea, the russians simply will not be able to, not a single army in the crimea could hold its own against the army that entered from the mainland, and later . yes, they are already starting to transfer and withdraw from crimea some even equipment from the sevastopol bug there are three more bays that are used by three bases that are used by the black sea fleet, but they are already

starting to smoothly export and leave crimea , because on the sea coast, this is the sea component it is the longest in terms of departure and arrival very quickly leaves the place of deployment of aviation and a little longer ground troops this kind of action, colonel, all day today. we have been watching him since yesterday evening and after lunch, how russia tried to renounce what happened at the kakhovsky hydroelectric power station.

left was settled inside in the engine room, let's see what's left and the arrival in it was clean water with soap there somewhere , my scooter remained all the discussions that took place on international platforms i mean the un security council uh today the president of turkey he called zelensky and told putin that it is necessary to find out who blew up the kakhova hpp, or it is obvious to the whole world who blew up the kakhova hpp . when in istanbul , the russian first tank army will pay for parking.

the commission to collect a fine from the first russian army if he acts like that, but some president, this is nothing to call for at all, and here is the same 205th brigade , which is now denationalized. and detonated that is, er, if the object looks like a banana to the taste of a banana , then it is bananas, if the 205th brigade mined er, constancy, er, even last year, er, they , er, how many times already er- we were warned and threatened to blow up this station, but in the end, when the explosion happened, who else needs any help? after that, i don't think we need to raise any evidence of any investigations or anything else on this topic at all. why is the meaning of things, well, clearly

understandable, but we will not prove that the sun is the sun it went to the east, it was already there, a million years ago, there is no sense in it, and here is also the same picture, because it’s just conversations to nowhere, well, aerodogan once again, eh , just announced himself and is trying to organize some other platform for some- i negotiated carefully with him so that we , er, in the summer company, did not go to krym . for what reasons ? eh and he is now trying together with putin , including eh, he will freeze the conflict, he will freeze it actions and attempts to stop the movement of ukrainian troops, especially in crimea, eh, this is already understandable, such white threads were sewn later and erdogan was already. it would be better not to allow himself and

somehow turn off his rhetoric on this topic. the american physicist richard cordaro informed bucharest about this on twitter , he published a diagram on which the explosion that sounded on the dam was recorded with an error of 5 minutes, you can now see this diagram later it became known that he was noticed not only in romania, but also in austria and bulgaria. at the same time, the russians began to raise the topic of a possible attack on other hydroelectric power plants of ukraine, in particular the kyiv one, to the colonel, and they say so openly that if we hit the kyiv hydroelectric power station, it would be from kyiv, in general, from there would be nothing left of the left bank of kyiv, serhii naev , the commander of the combined forces of the armed forces

of ukraine, says that the kyiv hpp is not in danger of destruction, nor any actions, since it is reliably covered by the system the air defense system is protected from air strikes and is protected by the troops from the actions of others, and as nayav assures and urges, do not give in to a panicky mood. but do not trust manual and air defense systems. i would like to ask you, according to your opinion, how far russia can go in creating such technological disasters by military means, in principle, this is a violation of the geneva convention, this is a war crime , that is, they have already committed one war crime, well, before that , they seized the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, how far can they go in their actions according to yours? well, i think

you, i am not a crime - this is the fact that russia was born as an empire later here, most likely everything is from here already and they have already committed so many war crimes that one is more than one is less for life, probably, for each person, hundreds of pieces. this is at least for those who made the decision, because this is the side that absolutely does not concern them . the side of how to inflict maximum damage damage to the economy and military construction, well, of course, the armed forces of ukraine, everything else does not matter to them, because they only had such a need, they gave the kakhovo hydroelectric station , they dumped the water , etc. in krym armyansk, they mined it acid receivers, mined containers with chlorine, that is, they

are already ready to blow it up, er, er, further , they just have short arms, they will get somewhere the maximum that they can do is carry out shelling with rockets and shayheads from the mines 40 kg 50 kg, well, the earphones will not affect more than one station and i will not give them even rockets, which they have a standard cruise missile, these are half-ton explosives of an explosive substance, but it explodes mainly on the surface, again, not concrete, not reinforced concrete, not a bulk dam, no problem, it will not bring even the maximum permissible, it will involve the components that you have, 20 old ones, up to a ton of explosives, the same the picture still definitely won't be able to, that is, they have 649 rockets. it will end until at least one of them goes along one of the dams or one of the but

again, this is an external explosion of concrete. it is absolutely not a terrible wave. it goes in the direction of less resistance because an air explosion, namely bombing or shelling, is not terrible for any powerful station there. a small dam can be blown up with a 150 kg explosion, but large ones are simply unrealistic . you can blow up any station and any dam only by hitting it inside and bring engineering work to the placement of charges is not all that simple, you need to understand where , how, in what sequence, and what power the charges of the placers are, otherwise there will be no effect , this is what was carried out at the hydroelectric power station, it will be visible, by the way, after the water has receded. in four

days, we will see on the table, there are stations left where the lowest charge was placed. the lower one is three meters from the base of the station, well, how will the water go down, we will see it, we won’t have any questions here at all , reinforced concrete, water won’t break a single one, m-m , more from above, from above, it will wet something to break it, but not from below. and at the bottom, because the flow is already they will be much less, they will not have such destructive power, they will not have everyone who understands more or less the theoretical mechanics of the resistance of materials, it was simply necessary to sit in a lecture on sopromat in prison and then become an engineer. well, they are engineers

they understand perfectly, but i don’t know what happened, erdoğan is an engineer or someone else, i don’t understand. it is unlikely that he understands this matter . if he did, then in the earthquake, not so many people died, and that is, not the houses that would have been built under him it would not have turned out like the houses of cards, because i think that the products are the same approach , here are the same erdogans, and he will not be the only one in parentheses , now the chinese will be stomping and macron can have his own jester will sing in french , he will call somewhere, that is, it will be on they are asking for some kind of negotiations eh now they are approaching putin will win it over to his side in order to stop our offensive

, which is already in full swing, and it is not quite for the russians, but it is nice to see that the movement has started along the entire front, well, obviously with the movement of the armed forces of ukraine, including in the belgorod region, is connected with the statement of one of the founders of the private military company wagner, yevgenia prigozhina, who said that what they were saying. no, what is meant is that the russian army can do anything , including to strike with nuclear weapons on its own territory, i.e., in the belohorod region, for how long can such a scenario be, taking into account the fact that, as they say, the shriveled says that putin may have the russians on his mind, and then beat him back, and it may come to mind
