[000:00:00;00] that is clear. that is, there is no such thing as someone only defends, someone only advances. even during the offensive, the enemy can counterattack even in the area where you are advancing, and vice versa, when you are defending, you also counterattack from time to time, that's why it's all very dynamic. andriy, you must have read the western the press, and there you can often hear her saying that the offensive will be quick , operational, effective, and we even saw the answer of valery zaluzhnyi. he said that these theses annoy him. and tell me how you perceive these expectations of the event and if to talk about expectations, then it is worth talking about what the ukrainian side expects, we are already talking about weapons, what kind of weapons do you lack in your battalion, or those soldiers who are next to you, so that it is possible to make a faster counteroffensive if the

western partners think that this maybe well, of course, this is not an original answer, because it is obvious, we need, well , yes, the ukrainian army needs more weapons and ammunition, it is obvious. and today i fully agree 100% with the statements of the commander-in-chief , general zuluzhny, because he says that is in reality uh, well, please, you are cheering for us there, you want our actions to liberate the territory to be faster, more rapid counteroffensive, give us more weapons , give us more ammunition, give us the planes that have been promised for a long time in 16, which we really need because i think that no nato army, in principle, would never launch a large-scale offensive operation without air superiority. and we do not have

air superiority, to put it mildly. conditions, not having an advantage in the air , having a plus-minus parity in artillery and a ton. they will give us weapons, the more equipment they give us, the faster everything will happen, the faster the victory will be, the faster there will be peace , the fewer ukrainians will die, that's all , of course, i would like to have fewer of them, well , i don't know how it is, how is it right formulate well, i don't know fear or any er bureaucratic delays on the part of the partners so that this flow of er weapons to ukraine was not a er river, but it went in such a wide wide wide flow like niagara

falls if it happens then of course it will be much easier to do it and all these things they will be obvious now , er, it is based on the heroism of the ukrainian soldier, so they definitely provided significant equipment, this is all important, but this equipment is also er, well, let's say, not in the amount that would give us well now some a fundamental advantage, so outside, because what they gave us is equipment for two american divisions, yes, it is a lot, it is a lot, but we have a front line today, which is actually 1,500 km, and equipment for two divisions for 1,500 km, well, that's too well, we understand that it is probably a lot, but it is not so much. if it were necessary, then here i am again , i understand that no one is obliged to help us in principle, because we are not members of nato, unfortunately, and to date, there are

legal obligations there is no yazan to help us rather moral and some kind of obligations, understanding that this is also a certain investment in one's own security, but still, i would certainly like more weapons, more equipment. the more it will be given to us, the better the results will be, obviously, thank you very much andrii illenko, an officer of the freedom battalion of the national guard of ukraine, was on radio freedom, thank you, today the air defense of the russian federation shot down several drones near moscow three drones at different times headed towards moscow, means of radio-electronic warfare, two of them were shot down in new moscow, one in the kalusa region, this was reported by the tas state agency, russian telegram channels, on the other hand , wrote about explosions in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe villages of valuyevo, a finished and crooked-necked

moscow and all of them are located near the great vnukovo airport. on the morning of july 4 , explosions rang out in the area of ​​new moscow . the so-called bangs woke up the residents of the village of valueve, but not in kryvosheye. a military unit in the suburbs of moscow then two guys. well, it’s far away there, in the woods somewhere, well, like this, and then five minutes later, she even came to the house at the address on the morning of the 6th in the morning, there was a guy, first, one brother, after 2-3 minutes, the second, after 5 minutes, the third the windows of the house were directly shaking and it was very scary, all the villages where explosions were heard are located near the moscow vnukovo airport, the mayor of moscow wrote that for security reasons, vnukovo planes were not accepted or

released by the russian state information agency and it was reported that 14 flights were diverted to other moscow airports , later vnukovo work was resumed after the explosion, a black table slightly to the left 6:23 the explosion even damaged the walls of the ministry of defense of russia, later it was reported that russian air defense shot down four ukrainian drones in the sky of new moscow, another drone was allegedly suppressed by means electronic warfare, according to the mayor of moscow, sergei sabinin , there were no casualties or damage, meanwhile, russian telegram channels reported on the fires that started immediately after the explosions in according to the shot channel, one of the drones fell on a building in the village of krivosheene nado. later

, the ministry of emergencies of russia denied that the fire was caused by the fall of the drone. about moscow, of course, we traditionally do not comment on this, but it happens. but it happens in life, if, for example, the russian 45th special forces brigade engages in sabotage in the ukrainian rear, well, that's it. means that something can fly over moscow, this is what happens olga armenishina radio freedom russian troops use mines, kamikaze drones, artillery and helicopters that was to slow down the offensive of ukrainian forces, this is what is said in the current review of british intelligence, in recent weeks, russian troops trying to stop the offensive of the armed forces in the south have improved tactics, in particular, they very intensively use anti-tank mines

, slowing down the pace of ukrainian forces' advance with the help of minefields, the russian military is trying to strike at armored vehicles of the armed forces of ukraine with the help of kamikaze drones, attack helicopters and artillery, the authors of the review admit that such tactics allowed russia to achieve certain successes , this is literally a quote from the early stages of the counteroffensive against the armed forces, however, they note the key shortcomings , first of all, the lack of ammunition for artillery has not been eliminated, it is said in the review well, to our broadcast joins roman svitan, military expert, colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine . good afternoon. good evening. i wish you health. so i 'll start with today's message from of british intelligence about what it turns out to be. this tactic with mining the fields, it very much justified itself and proved to be effective for the russian forces, e-e. what can you say how effective this

tactic really can be, how does it affect the offensive, they mined everything and always hundreds of years e- there is no mining going on later here, nothing new, the question is the depth of mining, the width of the fields, and the use of mm as such, and recently, russia has not yet started to use remote mining quite successfully, mostly true with anti-personnel mines, but nevertheless, these mines are being dropped on very large areas, and it is difficult to pass them, but we are performing these tasks . eh, a lot of time, mostly at night, that is, well , demining is mostly carried out at night if it is carried out by the

contact method. e-e, our ur-77 is the so-called work and-e zmey gorenych, that is, it is somewhere detonating a certain determined e-e charge at a range of 100 m to 90 m e-e and a width of about 6 m is detonating and further demining is already being carried out at the very least with this detonation . there are many ways, but because of the density and depth of the emission, there are more russians half a year, they were dug in, of course, they carried out mining, including what were the mines. flight of the minefield, sometimes leaving one

group did not even leave maps of the minefields , the second group mined practically the same thing, it is difficult to understand this question, but nevertheless, it is necessary to complete did you understand this task? well, then the next question already concerns the statement of the u.s. institute for the study of war, which basically takes information from open sources and analyzes it . here they point out that u.s. russian military bloggers en masse express concern that the ukrainian forces are capable of forcing the dnieper in the kherson region, and that they are russian troops there, meaning that they are asking for additional boats or boats to counter this. can the ukrainian forces really force the dnieper under the current conditions? we don't need to worry about russia. we have already fortified the dnieper , so we can already sleep peacefully. our groups are already on the left bank. intelligence has long been on

the left bank after the water receded the shore appeared as such, uh, our scouts on armored boats were already based there, performing the task of reconnaissance for reconnaissance, well , corrections of preparations, corrections of arterial fire, preparations, uh, in bridgeheads for the guidance of pontoon bridges, uh, when this will happen, well, it will depend on the first soil on on the left bank, the water has not completely receded yet, heavy equipment may be difficult, it will be eh. it will be completed for now . at least masha. well, i think a week and a half , maximum two, and in principle it will be possible already eh lead the crossing and transfer the equipment and develop the bridgeheads that have already been selected by ours , this will all be done in a secret mode, will the russians lie and guess to the last minute where

? it will be just too late left bank it will already be under our control completely that's how it is already practical under the control of our intelligence in a separate direction um, well, if necessary, under the cover of artillery from the right bank, the russian group is destroyed or, er, the russian reinforcements that they are now trying to restore on the left bank, well , standard everyday work, i would say, er, military work, and as soon as it is done, they say that it is successful there can be no counteroffensive, considering the superiority of the russian army in the air, well, i mean, some moments are connected with the use of a helicopter, here, here, this kind of turntables, they are

the so-called tank killers, carry out tasks at a certain distance from a distance of 10 km, the rocket is here we saw it, it is a whirlwind, one, it can hit our boxes at our tanks from a distance of 10 km, and we cannot intercept it. they go at extremely low altitudes on at altitudes of up to 30 m, anti-aircraft missile systems cannot be seen by these helicopters. and the best locators, that is, they go under the beam, and manpads do not reach the range of portable missile systems up to 5 km. i.e. that's what it is they have such an advantage in order to somehow level my f16-type aircraft, because we are suing 27, we do not have 29, the locators of these aircraft are not suitable

, these russian helicopters are not visible on the ground . that's why we need this. yes, 50 second yes, that's what we need for what we need at least only well, rather, and for that we need at least 16, in order to drive away and here are these machines. well, there is a mechanism . go ahead go ahead go eh, they had armored groups or infantry that carry the same thing with them and already intercept the turntable, we are constantly destroying them there, and in one or two days, one debt is exactly what is destroyed, and not only manpads. nato anti-tank guided missile missile, so-called, and he, but he also goes on thermal power on such a helicopter, he also goes, this k-52 was destroyed, only the anti-tank mm e-e device e-e

performs tasks, that is, we are fighting again with this is not domination in the air, i would call it domination of the air, it’s just that there are moments related to the aviation that we can’t get, also the russian air force, the same court 35 su-34 with long distances, they asked for the cable - this is a correctable air bomb with a range of up to 70 km, until our uh, zhinks did not pull up serious defeat systems that hit at a range of 100 km, later now , russian russians use cabal very little, mainly where they know for sure that there is no such long-range ones, if we were talking about aviation, the head of the nato military committee, rob bauer, said that ukraine will not receive modern western fighter jets until its counteroffensive is completed. this is such a strange statement. let us listen to it and then

discuss the discussion about fighter jets is important, but it will not be solved in the short term for this counteroffensive because the training of these pilots , the training of the equipment in the organization of logistical support that can actually support these aircraft will not available until the end of this counteroffensive, so we should not mix both discussions, it is clear that ukraine is asking for these fighters , but we should not start mixing it with the discussion about the counteroffensive. processes, etc. i am not related to the military. but i can conclude that in ukraine it is still not worth counting on fighter jets and carrying out an offensive without them, or maybe i did not understand something so well. how can you interpret this statement? yes, i will give it to you

according to the military explanation, yes, this general said correctly, he clearly laid out the things that are military, which are already understandable, that is , he explained what is happening after the first stage of the offensive, which will now wake up . this is the spring. autumn rains, that is, we still have three months of offensive actions ahead of us in the rain and in any condition. without a plane, we won't have time for 3-4 months, we need to prepare pilots, that is, er, planes, if even er , we have to take them ourselves. the second stage of the introduction is already er autumn winter companies

. and here everything is completely different to move. we have seen how er you can move in the winter. there is no way without airplanes. therefore, the second stage we will wait for the airplanes for the first stage . it is definitely not an airplane. there will be no one who expects to transfer the plane precisely to этом этаже at the summer stage мм on the next and it's all perfectly understood , i'll clarify. it turns out that and it's impossible to make a big breakthrough there in the summer because there's a lack of aviation. well, not only aviation . first of all, there is a lack of aviation. here, when it will be autumn and winter , it is already obvious that if there is permission for aviation , they will undergo training. and so and so what conclusions can be drawn here ? the plan is how they should go, uh, the first stage of the introduction

of the summer company is taking place with us and it is calculated without airplanes , no one is expecting airplanes until the end of the summer, and until september, that is, we moved like this and we move, just sometimes information appears on the air about the fact that we need planes yes, no we need them eh but even if decisions are made now, we will receive them in september or october and no earlier, this is the second stage - this is all for the second stage, and we understand this in order to be ready for that есть we are already getting ready to the second stage is being prepared for this, because the information is on the air , and by the way, the general later clearly said do not mix up the concept of the transfer of planes. and this is only for the second stage and the schemes of the stages that are going on now, it will pass without planes, this is a very important grave. to understand correctly, that is, in principle, everyone says it's a very correct game, and here's what we allow others to do, we can't pass the video to the armed , here i wouldn't agree, just

to use it for attacks, and that's not why we need a pilot, he will prepare 3 months . they need to make a transfer decision in three days . or they will ask at least already eh and already start working to destroy military facilities in crimea and start with the crimean bridge, start with the sevastopol bay, that is, there are a lot of targets for attacks , and that's just how it can be handed over to someone, you don't need to teach anyone anything because ours the guys who work on hammer saved in 3 seconds to send to the destination roman thank you for your comment roman svitan military expert colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine thank you nato secretary

general jenn stoltenberg will remain in the position of head of the ukrainian alliance nato extended his mandate until october 1, 2024 stoltenberg i will remind you the post of secretary general of nato since october 2014, it was previously reported that he was elected as the head of the central bank of norway and that he does not intend to remain the secretary general of nato , however, as later reported by the reuters agency nato members asked tolton to remain in office after they could not agree on the candidacy of his successor, including against the background of the war in ukraine, why stoltenberg turned out to be irreplaceable in his position. not only the most public but also a very influential day. welcome to the meeting of the ukraine nato commission. he chairs such meetings and offers topics for discussion

. he is constantly in touch with the leadership of each allied countries and acts as a mediator in case of disputes, helping to understand each other and striving for that. without which in the alliance, solutions are impossible. unity is extremely important . we do not get tired of repeating. allies in this period of history attacked ukraine. this is a cruel act of war. our thoughts are with the brave people of ukraine , unfortunately, what we warned about. within a few months the peace on our continent has been broken now we have a war in europe of a scale and a type that we thought belonged in history me protesting the war in vietnam in my distant youth in

during the cold war , the future secretary general tried to recruit the soviet special services as an agent, but the attempt failed. the politician had a different future. a brilliant public career in his homeland was the minister of trade and finance. he twice headed the norwegian government . he was busy with the extravagant reception of a political appearance in the public, in order to better understand the mood of the voters , he sat behind the wheel of a taxi and talked to us about current topics with the passengers, who were especially attentive sometimes they exposed the well-known identity of the driver, when i look at you from the side, you look like stoltenberg, you mean that i look like stoltenberg, to lead the largest military political coalition, stolkenberg began to ask for at that time the annexation of crimea by russia, the beginning of hostilities in donetsk region, and this is far from the only one the crisis of which the alliance went through together with jens stoltenberg, the tension between serbia and kosovo

, the end of the combat mission in afghanistan, and finally the war in ukraine, which is considered the bloodiest in europe since the second world war, facing such challenges the secretary general of nato persistently tried to rally the allies around the support of ukraine and at the same time prevent a direct confrontation between russia and the alliance. the war is far from over . nato understands and regularly repeats that the storm is not the best time to change the captain . the decision of the allies to extend the mandate of the current secretary general was explained at the headquarters in the alliance apartment. the work from toltenberg was told to journalists by diplomats, who did not name themselves, highly valued for maintaining a firm, but balanced and careful line, its role and in peacetime it is difficult to overestimate, former told us the head of the nato information center in russia so when the war the issue of support for ukraine, collective defense of the budget, etc., of course, there are many different views on this, the allies are different, they extremely rarely sit down at the table with the same positions , decisions must be made in the end. it is important to have a skillful head who, as during

meetings, and behind the scenes, he is doing everything possible to bring the positions together, helping them to take shape in general , just before this. the allies are still trying to agree on what to offer to lithuania ukraine, which is counting on a political invitation to nato, such decisions are made at the highest level , analysts remind, but the commitment of the secretary general is also important, the most important thing is that he himself will bring it, it will be legally binding, let's say so , the moments in which the country's nato members will help ukraine, both in this war and in the future, already has a role here as the secretary general, as a secretary, as a mediator between the parties, it is important, his rhetoric is extremely positive for us, but we again we still have to remember that key decisions are made in washington, they are made

in london, paris, berlin, and continue from brussels zoryan stepanenko radio svoboda i just want to remind you that radio svoboda will cover in detail nato itself in vilnius and we will definitely discuss it ah, and during this summit and before it and after it , stay tuned to radio svoboda. well, we have another topic that we wanted to raise today . the ministry of foreign affairs summoned the georgian ambassador to ukraine for a conversation due to the state of the imprisoned ex-president mikheil saakashvili, as reported by the ministry of foreign affairs of georgia in ukraine, georgiy za karashvili was offered to return to tbilisi for consultations in order to find ways to resolve the situation. mikheil saakashvili, i remind you, is a citizen of ukraine, and the day before he

participated remotely via video link the session of the court that is considering the case brought against him about the dispersal of the rally in 2007 , in the seventh year at that time, saakashvili was still holding the post of the president of georgia, so after the publication of these shots of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi once again called on the georgian authorities, this is saakashvili to ukraine russia during the years of the georgian government is killing a citizen of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi saakashvili said that despite the deterioration of his health and weight loss, he is very brave in spirit, so he said, and the next hearing in the case is scheduled for july 26. well i would like to remind you that saakashvili has been in the custody of georgia since october 2021. he was arrested after illegally crossing the border of georgia in prison. his health has deteriorated. he claims that he was poisoned. well and

the mother of the ex-president of georgia , iguli alasania , told radio liberty that saakashvili is not being treated because the georgian government does not recognize the fact of his poisoning. for 38 and sometimes well, today, yesterday, for example, since morning it was 37 five 3 7 4 well, anyway, the temperature is, you are talking about what the transfusion is doing, is it a necessary measure for maintenance or is it immediate treatment what the doctors say no, this is not treatment, this is support, in fact, this is how you save his life, to do what his time is, and they poisoned him in prison, and well , of course, this is not true. well, the fact

is that this is a fact that was confirmed. they have to remove heavy metals from his body by many doctors, both local and invited, because at 25 , in the end, the number of diagnoses reached 47. and the rest of this is symptomatic treatment. there are names, even in these conditions, he shouldn’t be like that, eh, from the dragged , you know, a cheerful man, eh, 120 kg when um arrived, and now he’s 60, and well, there’s a plus , there can be 1.2 kg, what doctors have access to him who carry out these procedures, and is there an opportunity, did you ask for the doctors to be yours on your side , we are waiting for a long time, it is rude, the doctors who represent europe, 27 european countries and no one there
