[000:00:00;00] the order is not about russia, pro-russian policy, almost everything, friends, we will put an end to this, i say goodbye to you until the next program, i wish you all good health , take care of yourself and your relatives. goodbye , dead from london on bbc news ukraine, i am evgenia shidlovska and today we are talking about the issue about the counteroffensive in the armed forces of ukraine as the ukrainian military tries to break through russian fortifications while the united states plans to transfer cluster bombs to ukraine - a controversial weapon that

can help the armed forces gain an advantage in detail let's talk about cluster bombs with a military observer who will start tomorrow in vilnius. ukraine expects concrete proposals from this meeting of the leaders of the alliance countries regarding its future accession to inna. the mechanism of ukraine's accession to nato still needs to be discussed. as long as the war with russia continues . such a statement was made by the spokesman of the british prime minister that it is important between the united states , britain and other allies more than now the dispute over aid to ukraine, the united states decided to grant ukraine its request, cluster bombs, this decision is not supported by other countries, why is there already a convention banning the use of cluster munitions in force for 13 years , which was signed by more than a hundred countries, neither ukraine , nor russia, nor the united states, nor, by the way, china to this convention did not join, so now the signatories, such as britain, germany , canada, and spain, express their reservations about cluster weapons or submunitions of a missile type

or projectiles that contain dozens or hundreds of smaller striking elements, one projectile is scattered in the air or on the ground, a small number of small projectiles are scattered, they cover a large area , some may not explode and lie on the ground for years, this is a weapon of indiscriminate action, that is, it threatens civilians, it is prohibited by international conventions, it was used during the russian war against ukraine, the ukrainian authorities have already announced that they plan to take a responsible approach to western cluster weapons , maximize their combat fire potential and minimize the consequences for civilians so defense minister oleksiy reznikov stated that ukraine will use cluster bombs only in the fields and after the deoccupation of the cities, the controversial ammunition is desperately needed by ukraine. this is how the former us special representative for ukraine , kurt volker, explained it on the bbc. means of impression, we must do everything possible to provide ukraine with the technological equipment it needs

, so that even then we would say a mistake, a mistake, not to be corrected earlier, the united states criticized russian forces for the use of extremely deadly weapons in ukraine, including cluster munitions, why then is it normal for the us to also send weapons to ukraine because russia is the aggressor and it should not have done this, and it is fair and correct so that ukraine can defend itself, ukraine's position is fundamentally different compared to russia how will this weapon help the ukrainians on the battlefield, as we can see, ukraine was able to advance on the battlefield , but very slowly, and this is because of the mini fields and trenches that the russians set up as defensive systems to prevent the ukrainians from moving going forward, the use of these types of ammunition will replace single-charge artillery shells, they hit a larger area and will force the russians to withdraw their personnel to avoid these types of weapons, and this will make the ukrainian advance faster and

give opportunities, of course, a lot of americans support biden's position on ukraine, one of the things that ukraine asked for - these are fighters. could america instead provide, for example, fighters? it could and should and still has to do this. there is a decision that the f-16 will be sent to ukraine by a consortium of countries including great britain, the netherlands, and denmark, which are working to make this happen, but it needs american support because it is an american system and we made a decision a little more than a month ago. therefore, it could have been done a year ago and ukraine would have already had these planes. now it takes time for these the planes were ready, of course the problem with cluster munitions is related to the long-term consequences of their use, is america ready to invest money in an operation to clear

the territory, which will be inevitable in the future, we already with this, there are areas of ukraine that suffered from an extraordinary amount of unexploded ammunition and debris on minefields, now we need to remove all these things caused by russian aggression , the sooner we put an end to the aggression, the sooner ukraine will be able to return its territories and help ukrainians to feel good again safe, then we will be able to start demining work. i think that a large national program will be needed to clear the territory, military observer serhii grabskyi. you use during the counteroffensive and how many such munitions are needed by the armed forces to turn the situation to its peak, this weapon is extremely important and extremely effective precisely in the format in which the ukrainian army is currently conducting combat operations, it is necessary to understand that

the enemy is trying to reverse the course of the offensive operation the defense force of ukraine using its preference and advantage in the number of personnel and actually, why is the ukrainian offensive being slowed down because the ukrainian military is forced to literally clean every single trench that requires extreme effort and serious human resources. thus, the use of cluster munitions for the drive allows us to level this problem and move forward faster, the enemy widely uses those munitions. that is in their fire control, so there are no reservations for ukraine to use them in the same way , these munitions will be used exclusively in the form of artillery munitions , and that is why we already undertake in advance to limit the negative impact of these munitions on the future territory

of ukraine, which will be recognized, but it must be understood that the non-use of these munitions will cost the lives of 1,000 ukrainian servicemen, as well as the civilian population, which will suffer as a result of the enemy's strikes that continue on the territory of ukraine, and in cluster munitions , this percentage of unexploded subs is quite high projectiles, yes, about russian cluster bombs, they say that this is a 40% rejection rate; about american ones, even less than three, what kind of threat do these unexploded projectiles pose after the end of the fighting? differences from use regarding the use of certain types of ammunition, because cluster ammunition can be considered as instantaneous action ammunition that explodes immediately after it is applied and was struck by impact or are so-called ammunition that are intended for remote naming, therefore it is not correct to compare such types of ammunition, in addition, it is necessary to understand well, the threat they pose

can be relative, because those ammunitions do not explode, i say pro-russian, they pose a threat to the civilian population first of all, because they are used specifically against the civilian population. and as for the ammunition that will be transferred , well, again, taking into account how far those guns will shoot, how far they will fly, because those ammunitions are already limited from the very beginning in our actions. thus, we have certain localization regarding the area of ​​use of such munitions, that is why the declared percentage of 2.35%, uh, of those munitions that did not explode is quite small compared to the damage that may result from the continuation of the conflict against ukraine and therefore these munitions are absolutely necessary for ukraine for victory to move forward and liberate our territories. we are already faced with such a serious problem that

about 30% of our territory is already contaminated with munitions and unexploded fireplaces , so this comprehensive program will be necessary for many years years and the impact on them of such a large number of remnants of cluster munitions that did not explode. they significantly, well , create an insignificant problem. in the future, they not only release many times more shells, they they also mined the front line , so how can the ukrainian military conduct a counteroffensive in such conditions, in the conditions of dense minefields today ? дальше thus, in the system of continuous, chaotic, as we call mining, in order to create passages , it is necessary to ensure the maintenance of these passages, which is quite difficult, having in front of us

the russian artillery, the use of these munitions means cluster munitions will solve this problem and make the clearing of the territory, the creation of amino passages more effective, so again, returning to what we talked about, the lives of people and the effectiveness of operations are in the balance, and so are we we take responsibility for the risk that can be established, will be caught, which we broke up, but against the background of chaotic lamination, this percentage, this risk, which is minimal, serhiy serhiy gravskyi , to exhaust, stretch and strike gradually weakening the russian defense, so the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of britain tony rada kin was writing the military strategy of kyiv, and the ukrainian commander-in-chief valeriy zaluseniy said that ukrainian troops are advancing every day, but according to him, in order for the armed forces to advance faster

, more weapons are needed, ammunition and modern fighters are needed correspondents andrew harding saw ukrainian forces conducting a counteroffensive , the ukrainian military almost did not flinch when another russian bomb exploded nearby a shell on the front line near bahmut has been fighting for more than a month in the course of competition of their fighters to advance and they are advancing but it is a slow process for some it is too slow recently this soldier blew up on me and lost a leg and he has just recovered and is in formation again but he is worried we need help we need more artillery systems, more and more weapons, without it, i don't think

we will lose this game. the counteroffensive is definitely expensive for ukraine. the wounded oleg was only 19 years old, his back was wounded by shrapnel from a mortar in the morning, despite the increase in casualties among the ukrainian military, despite similar scenes. it is important to remember that the counteroffensive of ukraine is still at a very early stage, so far it is not worth judging whether it is a failure or a success . a drone of russian troops near kherson in the south, ukraine launched an unexpected offensive here, forcing these troops to retreat, testing the defense of the russians, as they do in the long chess game, because it is

a slow process and not only on the front line here the huge russian ammunition depot near donetsk became the target, this is part of ukraine's plan to weaken the enemy before proceeding to the next stage of the counteroffensive, everyone is waiting we believe, even if we are not waiting, we know everyone is waiting for this, says military doctor yevhen, we believe and know that everything will be fine, we just need to be patient but this patience has a high price . 19-year-old oleg is taken away by a british ambulance sponsored by private donors . his condition is stable. but he has a damaged spine. it is possible that he will never again will be able to walk tomorrow and after, ukraine will receive a political invitation

to join nato, a road map or security guarantees , talk about all this tomorrow on the air at 9:00 pm , in addition, you can read about the nato summit on our website bbc.ua see you tomorrow, oh, twisted my back flamidez gel quickly reduces inflammation and treats pain in vienna and

with the founder of the communist party, meanwhile, the western media are writing about the fact that prigozhina can still be kept in the kremlin, is it possible and how the indignation of the russian pro-war community due to the return of the azov commanders will affect the behavior of the russian authorities, the cancellation of the pdf for ukraine and the pressure of our allies and germany regarding the support of kyiv on the way to the alliance, the final preparations for the summit are underway in vilnius, what additional levers will kyiv receive as a result of the meeting and whether the allies satisfy the more ambitious expectations of kyiv, direct inclusion from vilnius, the armed forces of ukraine were able to capture the main commanding heights near bakhmut and have been holding them for several days fire control of bakhmut , the ministry of defense said in a video of how the defense forces are advancing in this direction and clearing

the vacated landing and dugouts of the occupiers , the third assault brigade published footage from gopro from the soldiers of the third company of the first assault battalion, then the pit is taken away, let's move, let's move, don't sit on the open pit. go in faster, only the lower body and faster, please, guys, i'll check the kalashnikovs leave the flies, the disassembled landing and such a joke of the battalion, freedom and a lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine joins us good evening studio good evening tv viewers glory to ukraine glory to yevhen heroes please tell me what the situation is under the bachmut

, what does this fire control of the armed forces mean of ukraine over entry and exit to the city, have the occupiers become less active because of this ? they have not only become less active. they are now more careful because they are not at the height of military affairs and precisely the key positions that allow us to control a long distance . enable our units to work more efficiently, therefore, key positions on the flanks of the bahmut were occupied at the same time. well, it is great that it is shown for the majority of ukrainians, uh, successful forward operations , at the same time, there are many many of our brothers who are on the account during the execution of these combat tasks that lose their health, limbs and the like, that's why not everything goes as smoothly during offensive operations as we would like, so now the units of the armed forces and the national guard are acting more cautiously. that is, everyone who is involved in assault

attacks. we have glory god, in the last day, there were no seriously wounded brothers and sisters of our toilet , at the same time, the situation in the entire eastern direction is now very, very difficult. more careful. how do they behave more carefully with movement, that is, we must understand those who control a large area, a long distance, precisely the dominant heights, they control a certain sector, a certain perimeter, and the occupiers no longer walk so more relaxed , as it was, for example, a few weeks ago , they even already have some military personnel they don't go to the toilet alone or eat somewhere there, that is, they go in twos or threes earlier they felt more relaxed now, unfortunately

, this is no longer the case, and the situation i i emphasize that it is tense and all advances are taking place, well, with such losses for us yevgena, i wanted to clarify whether it is known who is moving there from the side of the occupiers, because kadyrov claims that the special forces of akhmat were allegedly transferred to the direction of bakhmut, that they are allegedly fighting in the klichchevka, do you see akhmat people there? do you understand in general, which units of the russian army are currently fighting there? i am personally from the freedom battalion of the fourth brigade of operational assignment. they will be there where our units are located. there are no akhmats of mine. well, it is possible they are there, but we don’t see them, that is, on the first line of contact there are only airborne assault troops and some units of the stormsafe - this is how i understand the novobarki, who, like wagner , are mobilized from colonies with prisons and the like . that is, these are poorly prepared units at the same time.

we have artillery that opposes us, there is aviation, there are tank brigades that go out and work quite closely on our positions, but unfortunately, unfortunately, these tick-tock warriors in light armed units they faced before this it was under north donetsk under pizhny, but unfortunately now we do not see these soldiers and they resort to this tactic of human waves , which we talked about a lot earlier, and taking into account this fire control of the armed forces of ukraine , it is necessary to enter and exit the city, what do they have with logistics and ammunition did they become smaller, shoot less, unfortunately, there is no parity in artillery fire? how did they shoot? they pile up. basically, it’s the 82, 120th. sometimes they practice singing. it’s already a higher caliber weapon. there are 203 caliber tanks. they also

work and work quite accurately, that is, a tank. he gave it is old, it is modernized, and at the same time, from the second, third hit, it can attack directly on the concentration of our troops, that is, on our trenches there or disassemble the position of the building and the like. what can i say about the transport of new forces ? very, very heavy loss of personnel, and even i would say before the new, they suffered heavy loss when they stood against us in the area and the charges, what uh kurdivmvki, it was even before the new, then wagner stood against us and then they were around the clock infantry assaults and now we are fighting against equipment to a greater extent. there, some of our high-ranking officials said that in ukraine plus or minus the same number of tanks as in the occupier

, unfortunately, there is no sense of parity in tanks. that on the side of the occupiers, i.e., more intensively, they pile up machine tools from artillery, sometimes they fly out, sometimes they work from anti -aircraft guns, so i emphasize once again to all ukrainians that the situation is tense and there is no need to relax and there is an illusion to imagine that we have already won. unfortunately, victory is still far away and u.s we all need to work together, both civilians and military, we work in positions, you work in the rear and help the armed forces, you help the national guard , give, pray, sympathize, call your acquaintances, ask how we are there , support in the rear is very important for all military personnel at the moment it is very, very important yevhena, thank you very much for taking the time to join the broadcast for the important words of yevhena ropa and the commanding officer of the freedom battalion and the lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine was with

us in communication about the situation in the bakhmut direction, at what price is the advance given to the armed forces of ukraine ? why did they manage to occupy advantageous positions, in particular the dominant heights and positions in the village of drimka, says our correspondent , who is with the armed forces on at the same time, this part of the front makes the advance extremely difficult, as explained by the military, including due to remote mining by prohibited anti-personnel mines used by the russian army, a report by maryan kushnir from zaporizhzhia . further , it is interesting how the decapitation of this settlement took place. let's say this, mr. demands

have already come, they initially came to malomne in groups at the farm on this new donation and there is a wife in kiev and on landing who were on they kept this direction, they also took 10 stops, and the equipment is on the road, we got it right, got stuck, got stuck, arta tanks, of course, with this, they poured everything they had from aviation, a lot , well, enemy eggs are constantly coming , we are interrupting now in novodarivka, and this direction recently, the ukrainian military did not released, as they said, with battles, but still managed to gain a foothold and advance on this

line, in fact, these positions are already tightly under artillery fire, under rocket systems of salvo fire, and despite it is close, it does not stay in position and it holds its armor and, as they claim, they are confident in their actions . and it is already working. they are throwing some projectiles, changing the coordinates, moving and the chinese again several projectiles and so on. literally in a short period of time while we are here, this

happens regularly, a team came here what else is the way out, he is flying, he is supporting the cast iron. the best cats are our cats, they took them in this village. they are also innocent that they were occupied. well, not everyone can watch how the occupiers walk around their native village in their native city when they say that
