. we are currently at the entrance through which the representatives and public activists of the ptu believers tried to enter the temple on such grounds. we can talk to the secretary of the belotserki diocese of the orthodox church of ukraine, who was at the scene of the event and also tried to find, tell me a little more about the event that is currently inside the church on june 29. by its decision, the belotserki city council, which is the property of the belotserki community, handed over movement in the orthodox church of ukraine uh , we tried to enter this cathedral on illegal grounds, which is now used by the orthodox church of ukraine, but we met resistance from the parishioners and clergy of the ukrainian orthodox church, which until now held services here, we repeatedly presented our documents that we have, we tried to convince them that we want to come here on illegal grounds, no one listened to us, they convinced

us that we needed more the court's decision to submit to the court's decision and only after the court's decision will we be able to enter here, what are the current events inside, what is happening inside , where are our priests, orthodox churches of ukraine, the church is completely empty, take out absolutely all the icons from all sides, here in this is the situation he is in now, and now we also tried to find dialogues of understanding from the other side, because people will continue to go to the church, in particular , the soldiers of ukraine who gave their lives from ukraine will be mourned here. of course , heroes are established in such holy events ukraine did not want people to see something like this happen. is a dialogue possible ? is a dialogue taking place? do representatives of the ukrainian orthodox church make contact at all? they will make

contact, but so far understanding and specifics no thank you, mykola, we want to show our viewers a little closer, is this the side entrance to the pond of the transfiguration cathedral, or through which the activists of the uoc cafe tried to get to the temple, and how can you see it ? he was doing it, by accident, someone from the side pulled the lead given by the bulgarian woman and injured his hands , there are even blood stains in some places, there are currently about 10 people inside , and there is also an investigator there, there will be investigative actions they don't let us in. in particular, i can't enter through such a side temple, since i'm a girl, this is a part of the temple through which i can't enter, and also you talked to other believers, we can get to another part of the temple and we'll show you what's happening

there. say i'm listening to you, i want to say i'm sacred and i want to say how is everything happening, you just said that the premises for the ukrainian orthodox church are being broken into, but in fact it's supporters of the orthodox church of ukraine that they broke down these doors starting at six o'clock in the morning this is a seizure by force. he says that they have a legal basis for this decision of the city council. we all know about this decision, but we affirmed it then and we waited for the court's decision . the services handed over the keys and the children, and people should pray if they have legal rights, but in fact they did not wait for this decision, they simply forcibly

broke what people had built there, uh, they made everything beautiful for 30 years, it is already damaged and material damage has been caused to people. who would give back these funds to people? it is not yet known, sincerely. you can also see if you see around me here everything is white, it is white because of the fact that there are broken windows on top and because of those windows, those who were inside, that's why they broke the windows through these windows blew people who were under the walls from a fire extinguisher from a powder fire extinguisher under the central entrance to the cathedral , events continue to take place there, it is like people through that or they are also not allowed under the ocher of the cathedral as well believers and public activists are standing, and they are also not allowed to go to the middle of the central law and order here, law enforcement officers ensure them at the moment, there are about a hundred funds for law enforcement officers, policemen are also expected to receive additional reinforcements from other cities, the studio

thank you very much daria rubanko , correspondent of espresso, joined our broadcast from bila churches from the savior and transfiguration cathedral, where clashes and conflicts continue between believers of the moscow patriarchate and the orthodox church of ukraine and local activists, because the orthodox church ukrainians are not allowed to enter the church, although they have legal reasons for this, and the moscow priests do not want to leave the cathedral, in which they have no right to stay any longer . for today, i am putting a full stop . on the air of the espresso tv channel, the program, the studio, the event , we will analyze the most important events of this week and try to predict what the weeks will be like, our

guests today, a retired colonel of the british army glen grant, as well as a well-known political scientist who is in prague, oleksandr morozov, our first guest is a military expert , a retired colonel of the british army, glen grand . glory to ukraine, dear mr. colonel. well , we are seeing the unfolding of an extremely dangerous scenario, in particular, it is about the zaporizhia nuclear plant, so at one time the russians threatened us that perhaps they will use tactical nuclear weapons, we understand that president joseph biden said that the danger is quite high. now we see the unfolding of this scenario with the so-called by a peaceful atom, we understand that russian terrorists can use explosives, or i don't know, blow up reactors or blow up the pumps from the cooling ponds in order to create the biggest man -made catastrophe. their behavior, especially during

the blow-up of the kakhovka hydroelectric power station dam , testified as if the seriousness of their intentions , but the key story is this the response of the collective west in case they really apply this hellish scenario i am sure that the west through its closed channels conveyed to putin that this is a bad idea i have on keep in mind that the american government has made it clear that the use of a nuclear bomb will be considered as an attack on nato because the consequences will inevitably affect the borders of nato , therefore it is logical that the russians will not want to do this however, we should not forget that we are dealing with a not entirely logical animal, that is, putin and it will always be possible that he will want to use anything just to keep power in his hands before considering any reaction of the west, it should be remembered that this war is mostly

being fought for the sake of russian public opinion his actions directly depend on the public opinion of the russians, whose pulse is constantly in his hands, whether this opinion is currently in favor of undermining the au, we do not know, but if he thinks that by daring to take this step, public opinion will give him the necessary support or make him stronger, then he will do it. this other thing, first of all we need to look inside russia to understand what it is talking about and thinking, such a catastrophe will certainly shake the west, but i doubt that the people there will be capable of any exceptional reaction. they have not done anything special after the blowing up of the kakhova hydroelectric power plant, it really doesn’t cross my mind, because if dumbo had been blown up in any other country in the world, even in china, the western countries would hasten to help and provide the necessary equipment. what possible scenarios will unfold at

the vilnius summit, in particular, we are talking about we understand that history is an extremely serious attack, we understand that if the united states or great britain can conclude a specific security agreement with ukraine, this will also weigh extremely heavily, and we understand that taiwan, for example, is not a member of nato, but taiwan feels safe, this also applies to a number of euro-atlantic partners of america that are not members of nato well, accordingly , i would like to see a very specific formula or in general, we could it be achieved in the current situation, or can they get by with so-called palliatives, this is a surprisingly acute question, and unfortunately i have to say that we will have to wait for the summit to see what it will achieve at the moment. it is not clear why

lies in the strength of the arguments. the white house says good words. but often when it comes to critically important things , such as f-16 attacks or security guarantees, they start to backtrack. can someone other than nato provide security guarantees? takes his time with visits to many capitals , trying to develop security guarantees, i have the feeling that after this alone there will be nothing new in terms of guarantees, of course, i could be completely wrong, but i just don't i feel that something is happening because there are no preliminary discussions for security guarantees, it is necessary that someone like blinkin goes to france, germany, greater brea and in order to discuss possible further steps, on the other hand, the fact that there are no explicit discussions may mean that there are stronger arguments in favor of membership in nato, but remember that on the way to membership in nato, attention should

also be focused on the sticks with which hungary and turkey are ready to push ukraine's membership in nato for these countries still seems doubtful therefore, this week can be very difficult for ukraine, and i don't see anything particularly positive. but again, as i said, i could be wrong, maybe the countries will go to a meeting and we will hear what we want, but we should be realistic, that is, ready for a development that is not entirely desirable of events, the struggle will continue and, as i said, the government must begin to take the war seriously, which is not happening yet, this moment for me is the most characteristic indicator of , for example, how this or that doctrine of aid will be implemented military doctrine of aid

is ukraine allocated or not allocated f16 and etekams missile systems, we understand that it is an extremely serious weapon and we need it, our fighters need it, the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, general valeriy zaluzhny , outlined very clearly in his last interview what we need and outlined his vision of it no matter how everything should happen from the other side, he also witnessed an extremely important story, that is , even if the russians commit an unprecedented crime, in particular, it is about the use of possibly tactical nuclear weapons. let it will be wrapped in the format of the zaporozhye nuclear plant, ukraine will not give in anyway, because the russian interventionists do not leave us a choice as such. i think that this would burden the ukrainians even more. these systems have not been provided yet. everything depends on the united states, because atakans is a key

weapons system. the united states must not lose sight of taiwan and china, so they cannot afford to provide ukraine with everything that it asks in the end. they can give something that will be extremely important for ukraine, but i suspect that they will try to keep such systems in case they may need f-16s - that's another matter , the americans don't need their f-16s because they have them in reserve very much so i am deeply surprised and disappointed by their level of provision of these fighters to ukraine obviously there are some problems with logistics the ukrainian system is not suitable for managing a complex weapons system such as the f-16 but on the other hand on the other hand, similar narratives of details around the patriot system, as well as ukraine, mastered it quite quickly and well, so i believe that the countries that have f16 should take a risk and provide them to ukraine and then decide how to keep

them in the air in the future, or are there other weapons systems that you need, you should decide here that in fact, ukraine needs not only powerful systems such as attack and f-16, but also many more small infantry complexes that will really help, because in the end the attacks will not be able to hold the territory, the f16 will not gain the only thing that can win the territory is the infantry ordinary people who fight and it would be much better if they had more night sights more mortars mortar ammunition in general more infantry equipment more small drones because then they will push out the occupiers much faster the place is happening now so it should be done bet on infantry infantry equipment as well as demining equipment these are the things to which we should direct more

resources on the front line and not only to things that require large costs, in any case, we understand that under the conditions of the russians' deep-seated defense in the south, the east , and so on, we understand that their logistics chains can be broken by long-range missile systems, and this is a key story. in the current situation, we saw how much the gate of logistics has changed as a result extremely successful cotton in chongar, but on the other hand, we understand that russian logistics have been destroyed, i don’t know, partly destroyed, this is extremely important, but the enemy is also now deploying certain plans on the one hand let's look at logistics during the last year, you actively destroyed logistics and despite this, the enemy's artillery thundered even louder , simply destroying logistics does not solve the problem and for one eliminated general , two new ones will come, your goal is not victory in

battle, but the collapse of the russian army, russia will try to maintain its current form the introduction of hostilities is very important for her , because russian soldiers and the russian system cannot stand uncertainty, therefore they gravitate towards certainty, to fight in a shelter , at least. they would like ukraine slipped behind their backs, such a development would sow uncertainty and panic, as well as the need for immediate negotiations with the command, and they lack basic walkie-talkies, which means that you need commanders who know how to think well and not just give orders. russia will try as much as possible to hold the battlefield against ukraine in the shape of a square, if they can attract more people and they succeed, then they will use them to gild the resource gaps wherever they can in order to move to

a close combat that is comfortable for them, as i have already mentioned, it is possible again around bahmut they will not be able to do anything else because they are currently unable to conduct intelligent combat operations in any case we see that the russians have started to use their so-called reserve gold-in-claw tanks t-90m breakthrough and they are burning extremely successfully although i do not take it lightly extremely serious and high-quality equipment, but on the other hand , we understand that they cannot show anything fundamentally new in the strategic plan on the battlefield, you know the answer to this question , the newly mobilized russian soldiers are very poorly prepared, this does not mean that they there is a lack of intelligence and this is the problem because if the russian army begins to recruit more representatives of the middle class , then in their ranks will appear, for example, businessmen who are much smarter and who will fight better than the alcoholics of the first few waves, but these people will also be more intelligent in terms of

accepting decisions and they will not be satisfied with the fact that the leadership simply throws the cylinder like grenade meat, so for russia it can actually slip out of the way, it is another matter for putin to talk about an additional 500 thousand soldiers well and how will you train 500,000 people, for example, who will train them, who will find equipment for them, i mean that for the past few months, people have been sent to the front without proper weapons, i mean , for the past months, people have been sent to the front without proper weapons, food military training, so if they recruit a large number of people again, we will see even worse profane people who will plug the holes that the armed forces of ukraine are currently creating and moving forward, dear glen, we understand that you are not just such a modest

a british colonel who, in his free time from work, begins to study what is happening on the battlefield, to study maps and so on . they are evaluating a possible new phase, and perhaps what will happen now, particularly from the russian side , the general feeling is that russia will continue to do what it is doing now , because in reality it has no alternatives no they are going to throw more people into the battle wherever possible, people are worried that the wagnerites have been transferred to belarus , from where they can potentially move south towards kyiv, but they cannot do this, they do not have enough human resources and proper preparation for this kind of fighting even the wagnerians also prefer close combat, all this requires courage

, resistance to the disgusting feeling when in your soul you realize that in the first attack you are more likely to die because the deeper the russian army enters society, the fewer people there will be who will gladly go forward to the mines, the russian plan is mainly based on preserving the reputation and lives of shoigu and gerasimov on the one hand, and on fighting with everyone, because if someone wants to remain a minister or chief of the gestaff , that's what they think who must win by throwing everything they can at the front and then comes without understanding that if he is given a little more equipment of prisoners and other things, he continues to cherish the hope that he has an opportunity to break through the front line somewhere, but even if he this will make his troops insufficiently qualified and insufficiently equipped to advance further, let's imagine that they break through bakhmut and further where they have neither training, nor radio stations, nor experience for

anything other than trench warfare in the style of the first world war, there is nothing reasonable to expect from russia, because they they simply do not have the mental abilities, training skills and basic skills to surprise us with something. and what do euro-atlantic experts say about the so-called pain points of the enemy? fear of the enemy, most of the experts with whom i spoke are clearly aware that the west, especially the united states, did not provide ukraine with enough equipment to win this war, the experts are more focused not on the russians, but on what is needed to win the war. we all know and see what the russians are like now they just built huge defensive fortifications because they can't do anything else, and ukraine

definitely needs better weapons, and as i said, ukraine needs better non-centralized infantry equipment that can use the general staff and such that can be used by an infantryman to go through shifts, climb into the trenches and have weapons that are actually needed for trench warfare, for example , for some reason they forgot about flamethrowers, it was flamethrowers that were very often used in the trenches during the first world war ministry of defense it is worth paying attention to mortars for with the help of which you can gain an advantage in the trenches , the weakness of the russians is that they cannot deal face-to-face with the properly equipped ukrainian military, but if you have the soldiers will not be properly inspired, then the russians will continue to press in numbers, that is why they are using more artillery and infantry small arms, the west must understand this and make it so that the weakness of the russians

can be used by the better trained and better equipped ukrainian soldiers on the front line, but on the other hand, we are also aware that the successes for example, the american coalition in cancer during desert storm were caused by what aviation and the full intelligence of aviation, we understand how important a role it played the aviation of nato countries, in particular, in order to defeat the milosevic regime, i completely agree with you, the war in iraq was completely different because the iraqi soldiers were not so prepared for the great battle in terms of defense and they did not have so many lines of defense
