[000:00:00;00] but we saw information on social networks that the occupation administration is now threatening those who want to leave with criminal proceedings or immediate mobilization and sending them to a so-called special military operation. bridges and bridges in chongar will be repeated . what processes do you expect to begin in crimea itself? as for crimea , it should be noted that even after the attack on the crimean bridge and the appearance of such of the land corridor, prices have increased significantly in the territory of temporarily occupied crimea, logistics have increased in quantity and duration, and shortages of food , fuel, lubricants have begun to occur, about which today the representatives of the occupation administration immediately declared that there is no shortage of products and petrochemicals and petroleum products in the territory of temporarily occupied crimea, and they will provide it to its full extent, that is, they understand

exactly what will be the first blow to prices and inflation , namely oil products, products and also medicines related here, the question becomes the functioning of the land corridor between the russian federation and crimea in general, because even today the carriers of goods, the carriers who tried to drive from chongar to perekopa or kalanchak checkpoints, they drove there to - this is an additional more than 200 km and the road there is not of the best quality they noted that the medium-stealth is 15 km in some areas. and it was noted that next time they will no longer perform these flights between the russian federation and the temporary wing on the land corridor is the official last question, the occupation authorities and the kherson region and crimea say that it will take several weeks to repair these bridges realistically. do you think they will repair them or will they decide on it and

maybe do you already have any ideas or information, since it may take time , you should calculate they need a few paintings to at least create the appearance that repairs are being made to calm down the collaborators and the military in the kherson region and zaporizhzhia region. since we understand that the retreats will be significant russian servicemen have problems because they have to cover a very long distance in order to get to the territory of the topsokoped crimea , but as for the expediency, we know again, let's go back to the history of the antonov bridge, that after it even the restoration of its functioning is needed, then the strikes of the armed forces were carried out again forces of ukraine and it once again stopped functioning until it was completely destroyed , that is, i, i'm sorry, i didn't understand.

it will be restored, it will be possible for it to function, then the armed forces are expecting it correctly, they will again strike at this and as the representatives of the gur themselves noted today that this is only the first step and further steps will be aimed at limiting the logistical capabilities of the russian armed forces of the russian federation, thank you very much we were contacted by denys chistikov, the deputy representative of the president in the autonomous republic of crimea, we talked about the consequences of the attack on the bridges in chongar that took place this morning. thank you very much in advance ukraine's counter-offensive operations are less successful than expected in the west, and the russian troops have shown greater competence than was believed, at least reports cnn with reference to three western officials, one of whom is from the military sphere , according to one of the interlocutors in xi'an , ukraine's counter-offensive does not live up to expectations on any from the fronts he explained that the russian

defense lines were well fortified and that the russian troops were successfully undermining ukrainian armored vehicles with the help of missiles mine strikes as well as aviation well, in the meantime, in the next report of the american institute for the study of war, it is said that the main blow during the ukrainian offensive may still be ahead of the analysts, so i will remind you here that ukrainian officials and many observers repeat that the low rate of advancement of the ukrainian army under the timing of the offensive can be explained by the fact that the current attacks are a preparation for the main strike, it is generally expected that the pace of ukrainian counteroffensive operations is not indicative of the ukrainian army despite the failure first of all, it probably creates the conditions for the future main strike, this is stated in the review of the american

institute for the study of war. well , we will discuss the situation at the front, as well as the significance of the attack on the chongar city. glory to the heroes. let's start with the topic that we have already discussed in part: how important the chongar bridge is for the russian troops in the south of ukraine, what significance it will have destruction or damage and what can happen next in connection with this, today the crimean peninsula is such a very large russian army depot, there will be very large reserves of e and equipment and, first of all , ammunition, they have been concentrated there for not the first year eh and currently e-e is very actively used, it is used precisely for the operational supply of russian troops in the south of ukraine, first of all, in the kherson

zaporizhzhia regions and everything is going well there, but first of all, of course, we are talking about ammunition, although, again, the evacuation of the wounded also takes place in the same direction, uh, certain human reinforcements can also be transferred from the peninsula to the mainland. in this way, the more we can complicate the logistics between the crimean the peninsula and the mainland, the more we will complicate the rear supply of these very three-year defenses in the kherson region and zaporizhzhia, but listen today, in fact , many compared the attack on this bridge or bridges in chongar with attacks on the antonov city of kherson, which preceded the liberation of the entire right bank of kherson oblast, how correct is this comparison and how realistic is it to expect that here the scenario will be the same, that first the bridges will be blown up , an attack on the bridges will be carried out, and then the russian troops will simply withdraw from these territory no, well, those who go so far as to draw an analogy, well, this is

a little on the level of people who did not look at a geographical map, if crimea was the only source of supplies for the russian group , it could actually work. actually, the main thing is that slava was forced to go to as sorevitel said then , it’s not a simple solution , unfortunately, the current group of russians in the south of ukraine still has two directions of supply. it itself can be delivered along the route along the coast of the sea of ​​azov directly from russia , from the rostov region through mariupol and , unfortunately, it’s so simple there you can’t cut it in order to cut that channel of supply to us after all, it is necessary to delve much deeper into the current russian defense than was possible until today. in this way, cutting off crimea alone does not solve the problem, but it still

creates significant problems for our enemies. so this is er, in this sense , the analogy is correct, that is, the ideology of strikes er- this is the idea that is embedded in the strokes of pochergar. this is absolutely the same idea as on the antoniv bridge, but you have to understand that in this case the result will be more limited . the bochangar bridge is not the only one. to get around somehow like that, let’s say in the mariupol mine well, for now they will have to make a hook from the crimea through the pereshiv, but here i think that you don’t have to be a vanga to predict that the next blows will be exactly at the nape of the neck , so uh, if they have already reached chingar, then technically move as close as possible to er-e. that is, it will be taken under fire control. and when it is possible to completely cut off the crimea in this way, the mariupol supply route remains , but it is two or three times longer, that is , accordingly

, two or three times as much bull will have to be transported times more time and more trouble. and do you allow such a scenario that, well, crimea really, well, in the short-term perspective, can be completely cut off, and then absolutely all the russian troops that are in mainland ukraine will simply find themselves without means of livelihood and military reserves, well, once again, we they just said that even the complete cutting off of crimea does not mean the cutting off of russian troops on ukrainian territory. well , let's look at the map. well, crimea is not the only source of supply, there is a route along the sea of ​​azov in the ostroh region i understood you well. now, the counteroffensive, many analysts, especially western ones, pay attention to the fact that it is said to be moving slowly, although the ukrainian political military leadership says that it should be moving and that the pauses are justified by the fact that the fields are mined , the territories are mined, do you agree with these theses that are often heard primarily

from western analysts today, for example , cnn wrote that in the west there were more expectations from the speed of the counteroffensive . besides, i have already seen this material from cnn. to be honest, it causes such sincere indignation in me it's quite difficult to remain, let's say, outside of emotions, to react purely expertly, but even purely expertly well, uh, you see, we disappoint them, you see, we don't live up to their expectations . i apologize. what were their expectations based on? these people, based on their simply enormous experience of the war against russia, i wonder what they have drawn in their heads

. heavy armaments and armored vehicles at the rate of approximately two emphasize two maximum american mechanized divisions of aircraft did not give the impression of long-range missiles at all. and at the same time they are disappointed in our progress . ground operations without absolute superiority in the air over the enemy and without a significant superiority in artillery, we have a superiority of the russians in the air in 10 plus times, in our artillery superiority of the russians in 3-5 times, we have approximate parity in terms of armored vehicles and superiority in terms of personnel, that is, in terms of our living people, these are the conditions under which we were forced to launch a counteroffensive and forced in particular because our

respected western partners all the time began to literally tell us that this hiltsin is a window opportunities are shrinking, you have little time left. that is, we, excuse me, started this offensive in such conditions that none of the western armies did not start it at all, and we are still advancing very hard, advancing with great losses we are advancing, but still, while we are on the offensive and advancing well, if the dear western experts who are disappointed with us can show from their practice how it is done better , i will be interested to see only how it is done better. sorry for the resources they gave us. not like they did it, for example, during a storm in the desert there, or operation freedom and cancer, precisely with a hundredfold advantage in aviation and missile weapons , and only after using which the infantry appeared. well, they could

definitely probably give more weapons. actually about what and the language they gave weapons and once again i answer for my words all their help that managed to reach the beginning of the offensive is about two american mechanized divisions i want to remember in history when two american mechanized divisions broke through a front 1,600 km long, i want to see it there was no such thing, it was not so close, it was not in their understanding, this work is somewhere for two dozen divisions , of course, they gave us 10 percent of what is needed, i emphasize, and this is on land, they gave it exactly zero for an advantage in the sky. well, and after that they are disappointed that it turns out that for 9 months russia was preparing to repulse this offensive when there was no question at all of the effect of surprise in principle when we were met by three lines of frantic defense and despite the fact that it is defense - it is

not only mini fields but it is true, but first of all, it is thousands of kilometers and fields away from the fortifications, and actually behind these fortifications are enemy artillery, which has 3-5 times more shells than ours, and enemy aircraft that fly up immediately when some of the russian positions are lost and become with our positions, the arch immediately begins to work there, and the aviation advances, and in these conditions, our offensive continues anyway. and how do you explain it ? well, it is also difficult to imagine that the western partners, among whom there are also many military and military officials, ah, no they know this balance of power, even the other day the president of the czech republic, and by the way, he has a lot of experience working in nato, the general also said the same thesis that the window of opportunity is getting smaller and smaller. we have to make it this year, but how this can be explained by the fact that on the one hand, they know exactly the balance of power, on the other hand, they say that something is going on slowly and

not according to plan. well, everything is very simple. well, they are talking about a window of opportunity, not in the sense of what, well when they talk about them, whenever possible, they talk about their politics, about the attitudes of their taxpayers, but how much they have already spent on us and what kind of things they have ahead of them, different elections and the like, they talk about this when they talk about that that the window closes opportunities for them to give us very little, but after the fall they can give even less , they talk about it, and accordingly, how to get by with the not really meager er-er that they really gave well, these are already our problems , our territory is not occupied by them, i understand you well, the nuclear threat is another issue that i wanted to raise with the president of the czech republic. i respect him very much as a politician, for his position in particular in this war, but i am very sorry, but for his long military career. this man has not

fought a single day and this applies absolutely and the majority of politicians and even military officials there are not so many people with real combat experience, and this is their experience in principle, even in those who have it. it is fundamentally different from us because, excuse me, but the extreme colonial operations of iraq and afghanistan are absolutely not the same as to oppose the second army of the world in a classic classic war, but the second world war, i'm sorry, but that's the experience. how do they remember their grandfathers who fought in korea ? everyone who is younger, they simply haven't seen anything like this. i understood the last question that i wanted to raise with you is a nuclear threat, but the ukrainian authorities say that the npp is mined, zelenskyi says that russia is preparing a terrorist attack there , tell me how this can affect the attempts to liberate the zaporizhzhia region, and well, in general , this situation, which has already been officially announced by the ukrainian authorities, that the as mined well, i think that if the russians really fit it and unfortunately, now i would not rule it out, because

unfortunately they got away with blowing up the klovskaya hydroelectric power station , well, i just didn’t react at all, taking this into account, well, what, since it is unlikely they will undermine it for a long time, they will blow it up only when we are already literally there, who in that case will not affect the actual liberation of the zaporizhzhia region, but what we do next and the liberated region will of course have a very strong effect. well, we can only hope very much to the fact that, even in the case of this terrorist attack, the reactor of the vvr type, which is located at the zaporizhzhia npp , is still, in principle, unable to produce such an effect as it was in chernobyl. and that it will still be more similar to the japanese fukushima that is, will have more let's say a local, limited character. this is the only thing left to hope for. well, of course, there are still certain hopes that maybe the west will give sufficiently powerful signals to russia that the terrorist attack on the nuclear power plant still goes beyond the red

lines, that it will actually be equated to the use of nuclear weapons well, but here i personally do not know whether such signals really go to russia and whether they believe in them and so on . thank you very much for your comment . they talked about the situation at the front, thanks to the military, there are 30 separate mechanized brigades, they captured several modernized russian tanks during the counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast, now these tanks are being used by the ukrainian armed forces against the russian army , the correspondent of radio svoboda in donetsk region saw how the fighting is going on under bakhmut and how the russian army is advancing on the ukrainian army. more precisely , on russian tanks, see in the report of maryan kushnir. well, we go on the offensive

from time to time there, if it is not far away, we know what the enemy is there, the majority of us work on the landings if we know that he is there, if we know that there is admissible equipment, then we are already working with fire from guns, this machine, as we call it , russian valis, it was pressed by the russian troops, it was abandoned in the kharkiv region, in the kharkiv region how good it is that they can see at night as well as when it was picked up at night it can see for 4 km, it is also effective , we use it in most cases and at night they use it well, it is mainly used at night eh for trophies during the counterattack on izyumsk in the direction of the trophies and near the settlement of andriivka on the road that goes in the direction of raisin, the t-72b3m tank of the 19th year was modified in december, then we

already sent it to the factory from us, that is, too, to say the same it can be modernized according to our standards, the main thing in the machine is the crew. i am sure that the tank, well, any tank abroad and our foreign one is excellent, that is the main thing. the crew that fights on it is the most important thing

. we squeezed it in the kharkiv direction , it helps us 100% it helps for example, when operating on assaults or even from being beaten by the enemy, i.e. quickly, i have a quick and well-mannered exit to the border or, for sure , quickly work out the firing position , support the infantry, and if we return to the broth, it is concentrated to receive, well, if

further actions are moving with the crew of ukrainian tankers , now we speed identified the targets and they threw damage, we are moving on a russian t-80 tank that was captured by the russian army during the counteroffensive in the kharkiv

region, this combat vehicle is currently helping the ukrainian military to recapture the territory occupied by the russian army

, something happened to the refugees and they could leave. our task at first was simply to deliver them to the position there to cover the point. before defending and we went there how many meters 20-30 to the trenches there were and so cleaned so well and our infantry calmly entered already in the flood zone in the kherson region after the destruction of the dam of the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station continues gradual lowering of the water level according to the data of the state emergency service on the right bank of the dnieper, three settlements remain flooded, a total of approximately 214 houses on the left bank occupied by the russian military, 17 settlements in the russian state controlled by the kremlin, news agencies in particular such as the news series report that the number

of dead in the left bank kherson oblast as a result of the destruction of the kakhova hpp , the number of people killed increased to 46. radio liberty cannot verify this information because independent journalists do not work in the occupation. well, on according to the latest data, 21 people were killed in the right part of the kherson region controlled by ukraine, according to the latest data, the minister of internal affairs of ukraine, ihor klymenko, announced this on tuesday. well, there has been no update since then. well, on the right bank of the dnieper, in particular, in kherson , the correspondent of svoboda ivan antipenko works , he has already joined kir ivan my greetings, you worked all these days in the kherson region and in kherson. please tell me how the situation is changing there and maybe you have the latest data on the dead. congratulations , for the last couple of weeks, the situation regarding

flooding, it can be said to improve if we mean the reduction of the water level, that is, the water in most of the submerged bodies and in the city of kherson, the shipping district. somehow, i would like to emphasize this because when there was a lot of water and there was a lot of attention, so to kherson oblast, that the flood now people physically do not have enough hands, there is not enough help in the sense of sorting it out and this is all garbage, to dismantle the houses where people once lived and there is nothing left of them, that is, at the moment, this is the biggest problem. that is, there are household items, some household appliances, property, it is all damaged, and the houses themselves are private houses. i

mean mostly they are not suitable for life, but at least there, the nearest months, six months, i don’t know, and many of them are already impossible to restore, and in the past few weeks, i visited various settlements, for example , when you were at the peak of flooding, i was in the village of sadove, it is not far from antonivka, and sadove is located on the ingulets river, and we were there with local residents sailing on a boat through the streets, watching what was happening, and literally today , we managed to shoot footage already in the garden with the same people, but we were already walking while it was stinging. and what strikes me is how many people still they do not lose their optimism as much as they say that we will rebuild business and houses, but of course the bitterness and pain in

their eyes speaks of how difficult it will be to do. that's all to reproduce, to work out, everywhere, the potentials, no one leaves the village, they are all here, it’s a shame, the photos are such a memory , and i have a lot of photos there, or my grandmother is asked by volunteers what we need now, at the moment, at the present time, and the volume of our houses that have been turned into men’s hands hands for me , what does the cross say, they took my hair for uah 9,000, to

pump water, you need to fill up the generators , and the tower will tell you that this is some kind of field, some kind of wall , dry it there with something with cannons, or we will come here we will rebuild, we will raise everything again. so everything will be fine with us, i believe in it, we will not give up. this is not good for us. and they, how did they deserve their words during a full-scale war, bought real estate and cars worth millions of dollars on the spanish coast , this is what really happened it is known that in april we already raised this topic on the air, but we are returning to this story again because ukrainian pravda journalist mykhailo tkach visited spain and showed this villa again and, interestingly , he even met borisov's driver near the villa. then i talked with borisov himself about what
