[000:00:00;00] next time my comrade let's say yes in the zaporizhzhia direction and the number of dead is already increasing but we ca n't fight me so the only option for us is nato on the air about the fact that the only option is nato and it's up to you to decide what will happen next month at the beginning of july. we don't want to receive just assurances of our continued support, assurances that you are well done, you are fighting because there are a lot of genes people, we must receive clear signals about what we need to do from a military point of view, one second, the third, but it was absolutely correct here that it was said that we currently have probably the most valuable army in europe, the second issue is the fulfillment of political tasks, and the third issue is definitely membership in ukraine, otherwise we simply will not be able to exist. moreover, our neighbor is a country that has one of the largest nuclear potentials. that is, it is a question of our

existential survival. come on. questions to putin, no matter what, will always raise rates. is the measure ready to raise rates? you know, this week there was information that some countries and nato members are ready to conduct their own military continent. well, it seems to have been refuted there, but it is more likely somewhere on the part of ukrainian diplomats was going on and it can be perceived as you know such an informational check on the future of what we would like, it is obvious to us that we would like not to fight against the russian federation ourselves. although i think ukraine is ready to fight thanks to western weapons well, you know, we already talked today about the fact that we are watching the west transform itself, it changes its worldview, it changes the way they look at russia, first of all, and the most important transformation that our western allies are going through is that

that they stop being afraid of the russians a-a starting from the myth of the second in the world and ending with the myth of the russian nuclear arsenal a-a dagger missiles we already know very well how they work against the american petriv systems a question in because in fact the west understands is that all he is digesting all these arguments now and he is building a certain model of behavior towards russia, this model was tested as early as the summer of last year when there were various statements coming from the bunker about what if there is a nuclear arsenal, and accordingly, if only someone tries to intervene in this situation, russia has something to answer for. they always said , and the united states of america also decided to show that they also have something to answer for, and in the second half of the 22nd year in europe, three military exercises that were related to practicing the actions of the strategic deterrence forces

of the united states and carriers were fanatically simulated the situation of a real nuclear threat from the russian federation and how the alliance would react to all these things. components were worked out, marine components were developed in parallel with this, obviously, and several such very personal messages were sent to the bunker from washington, where they very clearly and vividly described the fate of not only of russian troops on the territory of ukraine if, for example, moscow decides to use nuclear weapons there, but the personal fate of the leaders of the russian federation was very clearly outlined . bunkers, what kind of bunkers are there on the territory of russia, absolutely all of them were there before, in principle, they did not

work for military facilities, only in the russian federation, they allowed it. that's why we'll see what a colossal change has taken place. and in the swamps they started telling us that we don't need nuclear weapons . we, er, ukrainians will deal with ukraine with conventional weapons, and in general, it is impossible to win in a nuclear war . that in fact the further the west , the greater it will be faster than what has now happened with russian analogues of daggers has already caused a colossal discussion from the point of view of the military and technological development of western countries, the americans began to write about it turns out to be a hyper-hypersonic weapon, it is very overrated. and the fact that the russians put the main emphasis on it is, well, this is the problem of the russians, in fact, that's why i think that the determination from the west will grow in proportion to the fact that uh, how uh, we are fighting against this russian attacks and, in the end, the weakness of the russian reaction, it completely succeeds in the signs. everyone understands that

, well, this is a cornucopia with clay feet, in fact , major general of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy kryvonos is with us now on direct communication. the general says he says to you good evening and glory to ukraine good evening glory to the heroes today a lot of information appeared about the fact that the international media are writing about it with references to high-ranking officials from the presidential administration, including the beginning of the ukrainian counteroffensive, we will not comment on these rumors what do you see from open sources with your information, what can we now talk about the front on the open air, it's an interesting question and everyone is waiting for me to tell a terrible military secret and directly, all uh, any, and then spread it on the airwaves, no , that there are battles of local importance, that the armed forces

are preparing for an offensive, this is clear as regards the leak of these er, the beginning of the offensive does not mean that after half a day we have already reached melitopol or, for example, there or to some other city, not always the first day of the offensive can be successful and the second and third, and for this there are several options and the main strike in the operational plans the main direction of a blow and an additional one, sometimes it can change already during the offensive. therefore, it is necessary to understand that victory loves the prepared . let's wait for the offensive. enemies because this blow-up of the kakhovka hpp led to the fact that many servicemen of the russian federation

were not even warned; in fact, there is video evidence and journalistic materials that they were literally sitting on trees and also asked to save them at the same time absolutely unacceptable and incomprehensible processes are taking place for the ukrainian army when the military terrorists from wagner capture the military of the ministry of defense today with some absolutely crazy appeal the minister of attack of the russian federation appears with such a frightened face that well i just can't imagine any ukrainian military who was even on the first day of the full-scale invasion , how scared and disoriented. what do you think is happening inside our uh the troops of our enemies well, what emerges on the surface is one thing, but the fact that the armed forces of the russian federation are a sufficiently powerful machine and which is not so easy to shake off

a new one. therefore, we must prepare for the fact that they are still capable of fighting for a long time and successfully resisting it is better for our actions to overestimate the enemy than to underestimate it. and as for the situation under the roof , what do you want, traditions are traditions, glorious traditions, the red army, when they blew up dniproges, they were not warned either troops of the red army and died, according to various estimates, from 6 to 80,000 red army soldiers, the same here, because yesterday i spoke with those units that are located just opposite the krakówka, and they watched all this, told me and even showed it to us at any moment the fact that they themselves are on their own is a huge human tragedy and a rather serious man-made disaster of flooding , primarily of the left bank of ukraine, is part of the right of caution - of course it is bad, but the fact that

they are simply at the expense of the dnieper water they washed away their first position and spilling water is planned somewhere er along the border er er kostogrizovka er brylivka novodmitrivka then this is a big enough depth and you have to understand that from kherson to the crimea they did not pass every kilometer and did not dig positions on every kilometer because of that they multiplied their actual vital activity, the first position is powerful enough, and whether the second, third position is so powerful for them is another question, our task, even with all the negatives, is to try to use the fact that the enemy has set a trap for himself, now if everything goes well, the offensive can be will develop in two directions, not only in the direction of e-e in melitopol, mariupol , but also directly in the direction of crimea . mr. kryvonos has a question .

- first of all, sergey, i want to thank you for your participation in the defense of kyiv for the decision on zhulyany, and i am very sorry that you have suffered all kinds of criminal prosecutions for these correct decisions on the organization of the defense, as well as i am sorry that today your potential as the military as a general as a strategy is not used in the active armed forces of ukraine, well, i am convinced that you know what it is. well, i do not know whether this is a solution, but this person is definitely harming the state. and the question is, well, you know, as a junior sergeant in the reserve of conscript service from the 90s x years, i wanted to ask you anyway. we can't get everything, but today we can ask for anti-aircraft defense , we can ask for tanks, we can ask for artillery, we can ask for fighter jets

. in your opinion, what should the most ukraine insists, understanding that everything is . at the same time, we do not receive help from the west from the point of view of state security, so first of all we need a powerful air defense . why even if they give us planes, they will definitely give us a sufficient number of them , which airfields will we be able to use to land them only in the last week on our airfields , the attack by the enemy was so powerful and it shows the insecurity of our airfields. therefore, before receiving the planes , we must increase our efforts to defend roma as for air defense, this is probably the most important thing at the moment, the next thing is tanks, artillery - that's all great, but when we talk about the offensive, you need to understand that we will be successful here at the moment when the foreign air component will also be successful

, while there is no it will be difficult enough for us to rule in the air , it will be difficult enough for us to face another such question, again at the expense of half , if we do not increase the enemy's air defense and in the future our cities and villages will be nightmares methodically, we emphasize methodically correctly with from the point of view of the military, to strike at critical objects of the infrastructure of our state and multiply it by zero, and we will not be able to transfer the proposal without being born, then to the front, that is the number one task. at this stage, after all, air defense is something that we constantly need artillery guns - this is understandable, but this is directly a turnover for us , we need to strategically increase the capabilities of our air defense system, and we need to consider two nuances: our modern air defense constantly uses only

a missile complex, this is great, but it is too much it's expensive, we have enough stocks in europe. well, our partners have enough stocks of anti-aircraft gun characteristics and enough ammunition for them, which are quite successful when used correctly with the use of relaxation stations, detected escort and fire control can give a fairly good result, it will be cheaper. therefore, it is necessary to dissolve how much we spend on one missile how much we can replace with guns to protect, for example, on average, a missile costs from 300 to 500,000 and higher if you take petriv and an anti-aircraft gun 100 from 50 to 70,000 euros. and another one before the beginning became 20 because no one needed it. now the price has increased significantly , but there are enough artillery shells for them and they cover a range of 5 to 7 km, so all the conclusions are simple cheap and reliable. this is what needs to be done, and you don’t have to wait when it’s even the state at certain

moments, uh, we can buy these documents at the expense of the local population, at the expense of local budgets, for the territorial defense unit of the territorial defense of the areas where they are located, and they will not go anywhere from there thank you, serhiy kryvonos, and we would like to add oleg zhdanov to our conversation. good evening, gentlemen. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. congratulations. look, i want to start right away. you know, when the kakhovskaya hpp was blown up, somewhere even you were accused of predicting that the russians could not do this, but i want to be on your side here , because if you read your forecasts, you said that there is absolutely no military advantage in blowing up the kakhovka hpp for the russian troops and they will only make themselves worse and in the end they did worse to themselves. well, but we understand that this is the russian army and

we should not look for logic there. it is not worth it that they flooded their advanced positions , as mr. kryvonos said just now. amphibious operation now we can carry out er. especially since the russian federation does not have time to prepare another or a new er border defense on the left bank of the river, and as soon as the water begins to recede and it will be necessary to determine, well, the intelligence will determine the e-e zone, the soil softening zone, where the border passes and e-e, then it will be clear and there will be such a possibility or not, well, again, this is if the general staff planned and, most likely, this was one of the goals of undermining the upper dam

part of the dam and not the set of the maximum water level to raise the water level in the dnieper so that they can move our cities across the dnieper or is it correct ? danger for civilians first of all well, but these were defensive redoubts for the russian federation for their armed forces , how much would this facilitate the potential offensive of ukrainian troops? well, first of all, the prospects of cutting russian troops in the south of our country, because we have long been talking about the fact that melitopol, in particular, is a rather problematic point for preserving the occupation of the russian federation there. well, everyone is interested, you know, this is the most popular question about the prospects for the liberation of crimea

you have a question, and then i will address the same to mr. kryvonos, look at the mines, i will say that this is a threat for ages, for many years , why, because where are these mines, where will the current carry them and where will they float or sink, well, you will know that after the second world war world war i sometimes still find supplies that either did not explode or are in the ground. so this is a huge danger in terms of washing those minefields that were laid by russian troops on the left coast. by the way, they by the way, we must remember that they lost and a certain amount of ammunition that did not have time to remove from their positions, this is also a danger. well, as for well, as for spreading , i, i, i understand that this should be the main goal of a counteroffensive operation, well

, at least of this counteroffensive operation, uh, cutting russian troops in half so that the western part of the grouping could be counted practically in an operational encirclement , a semi-encirclement, and then the only e-e way to attack the crimean peninsula, and after that we can take the crimean peninsula by fire bag, if we destroy the crimean bridge, we have such means today, in the form of the same missiles, storm shadow. so let's hope that genshta thinks so. well , at least somewhere approximately like that, he will try to fulfill this very peace initiative, mr. kryvonos mr. general, i have a question for you regarding the prospects of crimea. how do you see it and how likely is it that president putin will use nuclear weapons in response to president putin

, because many people say that somewhere he might dare to try. no one knows whether will it really work, will this chain of commands, which should be given not only by putin and confirmed by other military personnel, will he dare to do it, how risky is it, what do you think about it ? well, as for crimea’s ability to defend itself, as the experience of historical antiquity has shown , over the past 100 years, crimea has tried to defend both the reds and the whites, and then again the reds and the germans, and everything led to the fact that after the breakthrough of the chongar and perekop directions, the crimea fell quite quickly, this is an example of that, for me it is quite clear that when we reach the crimea, the question

the capture of crimea with the correct implementation of the offensive. this is a matter of time and professionalism, as regards the ability to harvest a bridge . well, i would say that at this stage, as much as possible , i would probably not touch it . fight to the end. and if they have curtains, they will run away through the gap, that's exactly the crimean bridge for them. at this stage , such a gap is psychological, and for me i clearly understood that the main task is the offensive that we expect, that's exactly it, absolutely my colleague was right when he said that cutting a group of russian troops in half is psychologically enough

, a powerful blow will be enough. air support without dominance in the air is enough, it will be difficult to do and the losses can be quite large, unfortunately , we have information prepared for the fact that as soon as we leave, it’s all victory with the flag ahead - run away no, that’s enough it is difficult and the enemy, unfortunately, has dominance in the air and in aviation, it is quite difficult to compete again, the enemy also understands why. and he is trying to spread our propaganda throughout the territory of ukraine like butter on a sandwich so that we cannot concentrate on the front line, what and to strike directly, well, to hold the enemy will press him to the earth, for sure kryvonos, one more question and we will let you go. how would you rate the activity on the russian territory of the russian volunteer corps, they occupy villages and

i'm interested in your opinion as well. well, in the context of their activities and in the context of uh, how the russians respond. they shift everything to the governors, they declare that uh, the border guards are guilty. our miscalculations, our intelligence, instead of giving nightmares to the enemy on the russian border in the belgorod area, a-and did not take any measures to capture or impossible the necessary pakhovsky res, as a result, we liberated some russian villages but they inflicted huge damage to several regions of ukraine, let's determine what is more important, our own land or enemy land . i think that in the next stage, if you investigate the situation in russia, it is not only on the sites of one

region, and in general, it was not a region, it was there er, a 5x5 km section, er, if the situation is already wavering, then along the entire russian border , this bryansk region is the kursk region and the voronivsk region, and for us it is necessary to understand that vorokh also has weak points in our in kursk, we have two nuclear power stations in voronivsk oblast, one nuclear power station, and in bryansk oblast , there is a great stockpile of 20% of the total amount of chemical weapons of the russian federation, and aren’t these the levers of blackmail, just like ours? excuse me from the foot to the groin, it will not make much sense to beat as often and so when the enemy does not expect everything, general serhiy kryvonos was in direct contact with us , the youtube channel of the project must speak

big lviv there will be a full interview with mr. kryvonosom mr. oleg zhdanov, let me ask you one more question. we heard from general kryvonos about air defense, about the fact that the russians still have air defenses. and today, just a few minutes before our broadcast in the main intelligence office i'm not mistaken, pyusov's deputy budanov stated that the russians managed to restore their missile potential and that the shelling was a massive shelling, but it was not very effective, fortunately, this is evidenced by what we can expect from the point of view of the that air defense mission that we already have. how much more do we need and how much more can the russians terrorize the peaceful regions of ukraine? well, i will say that approximately the numbers that come out of our president's mouth, including that of our president, he said that at least 20

we need patriot complexes. well, some experts say that we have 50. we are the largest country in europe, so we need a lot of them. the fact that the russian federation, er, is not what it is restoring, it is gaining capacity in terms of production, but today there is a statement by white to the house that they brought the procurement of microchips and electronics for their military-industrial complex to the pre-war level by february 24. so, now the power of the russian nuclear power plant will increase and we have to work here. will provide its patriot complex, they have negotiations with spain regarding the provision of the complex . well, the fact is that they are not so long ago

. pity it is impossible, but there are other means, it is permissible to dominate in the air, we compensate by providing us with air-to-air missiles with a long range of up to 200 km, which could slightly equalize our chances of our aviation in the air with russian aviation, oh, and such and such similar measures well, in general, what happened with us was that mr. kryvonos said that it is not enough - it may not be enough. where i know in those areas they are deployed and mobile groups work with these

means of protection because to fight against the same martyrs and with those cruise missiles, we first of all need to start from what we can get can we apply and then e- to think about what we what we would like to buy or get and put on duty thank you oleg zhdanov was in direct contact with us so we talked about the missile danger and now some telegram channels there is no official information yet e- e write about the fact that russian cruise missiles were apparently spotted near odesa, respectively, if the information is confirmed, then in which part of the territory of our country can an air alert be declared while it is? well , that's right. i heard from mr. kryvonos, but i especially

remembered from kryvonos that this is a war about strategic objects in the border regions that are on the territory of the russian federation and having a storm schedov, we already understand that this is an argument for the actions of the russian liberation group, as they call themselves in the territory within the borders of today's russia, because we must not forget that on the maps of several centuries, therefore , this was the territory of the settlement of ukrainians in ukraine, and kurshchyna, voroninshchyna, belgorodshchyna, and kuban were territories how were the populations of ukrainians, but these actions are of course very positive from the point of view of emotional perception for ukrainians, you know this is our centenary history, when

muscovites constantly pushed us into the territory of ukraine. surely somewhere inside, such a huge, huge opposition was born, when we see today that muscovites are being beaten in the borders of muscovites, it causes , you know, such emotional affirmation and admiration, there is only one danger here . territories of weapons samples that were received or possibly in some other way got into those samples that were provided to us by our partners, our allies from nato member countries, and we already have two, it seems to me, official requests from these countries with the demand to explain how weapons that may have been transferred to ukraine got into this territory, we already have the official statement of president zelensky that neither the ukrainians nor the armed forces of ukraine have anything to do with it, and he, as

the president of ukraine and the supreme commander-in-chief, did not issue such orders so that these weapons could reach and be used accordingly on the territory within the borders of the moscow state recognized as of today, and this is the danger that can work against us. and you know, in such options, you always have to be very very neat one more glory to ukraine this program is the verdict my name is serhiy rudenko good day and good health to all, the third day - the largest man-made disaster in europe, the russians' detonation of the kakhovka hpp has already led to the flooding of dozens of villages and settlements in the kherson oblast, the consequences of this ecocide arranged by the russians the occupiers will obviously feel
