[000:00:00;00] the second hand, as they say in naval jargon, which allows you to reach the enemy anywhere, but under certain conditions during the day, you cannot do this if the russians believe that these drones were thrown off the board, lowered from the board of some commercial vessels that were going through the format somewhere near well, in this matter, they do not miss even the thought that ukraine was able to create such a super modern weapon that meets the requirements of the war of the future of the network of centric remote warfare by defeating targets at sea at a huge distance from the place of their base well, they don't think about this. well, let's move on. the last question is not from me, but from our viewers, they ask. and what about the oil pipeline that was used to deliver oil

from kazakhstan to the terminals in black shikharis ? there is a pipe of the caspian pipeline, which er, on which russian and kazakhstani cars are exported, well, there are various private campaigns, they feed into the pipeline here and there , russian tankers are loaded and leave now, er, to a lesser extent , there will be mainly kazakh ones because there are sanctions there etc. well, the russians kept the opportunity to transport, but they transfer oil in greece to other gray schemes there and so on, well, this is a separate issue, yes, there were rumors that this terminal was attacked, but there are no confirmations, there are no video materials that proved that it was also not possible. an attempt to attack submarines based not far from this terminal, as was the case last year . shortly after the attack on sevastopol, it

is possible, but there is no data yet, the enemy is hiding and we are forced to wait. well later we will see, thank you very much for joining our broadcast volodymyr zablotsky, a naval expert of the defense express military portal , a retired captain of the first rank, he was on radio svoboda putin is trying to hold out until the elections in the united states of america in 2024 , cns writes about this with reference to western high-ranking officials by this time, he is unlikely to change his plans regarding the war against ukraine, one of the interlocutors of the publication, who got acquainted with the intelligence data, said the following, then he knows that trump will help him, and the ukrainians and our european partners also know this, well, obviously. this means if donald trump becomes a presidential candidate and wins the elections, at the same time, the united states of america does not yet have accurate data that

putin is purposefully prolonging the war in the hope of a victory for donald trump, whose republicans, however, the election in the usa, in the opinion of high-ranking representatives of national security , intelligence and diplomacy of the west will influence putin's decision; earlier , the head of european diplomacy , josé b. borel, expressed a similar opinion, he said that putin did not will agree to peace talks with ukraine before the u.s. presidential elections are held. well, in russia, in russia itself , in the meantime, the improvement of the legislation for the great war continues. years earlier, citizens from 18 to 27 years of age were subject to conscription, in addition, putin signed a law prohibiting those mobilized and conscripts to e-e to travel abroad from the day he sent the summons, including to the place of work or

training, the ban will be in effect until, before the mobilized person appears before the military committee, how will this whole story affect the war, and in particular , the war in ukraine, we will talk now, i will only remind you that in russia, this is the improvement of the legislation, it is actually ongoing, so to speak improvement of the legislation well, in fact, it has been going on for the last months , literally. during the last month, the state duma of russia actually passed laws almost every day, which in one way or another, er, were supposed to directly or indirectly contribute to more active mobilization and er, as well as contribute economically to to continue waging war and definitely this will definitely have some consequences on the situation at the front, which other experts in this studio have repeatedly talked about. well, just now , andriy kramarov is joining our broadcast as a military expert, officers are now in the armed forces of ukraine andriy good evening good evening evening greetings, i'll start with the last one today putin signed a law on raising

the conscription age to 30 and how it will affect the war ah well now this week medvedev said, well, it's a little wild like him always made a statement that uh, the russians signed a contract with the russian army this year, 213,000 people, well, i don't believe the whole number , but they really became very active in russia after that , well, after completing the military service, well, i frankly suggested that motivation for signing contracts, moreover, they even offer to sign the contract under the conditions that it is not a fixed-term service for two years. what is there, with one and a half years of service, you can sign a contract. and you , well, as if you have finished the fixed-term service, become

a common person, a contract soldier, and so on er, for this very purpose, plus, well, the russian army frankly has no reserves left at such rates, well, they will have enough personnel well, until the end, well, in the best case , until the end of this year. year is not enough and we need a reserve, everyone's reserves are already in ukraine , and that's why they are now looking for opportunities, well, a new replenishment, and it's not a mobilization, when you're 100% right away, well, they'll train for 2-3 months and then send you to war on our land it's temporary the service of conscripts does not seem to be sent anywhere, however, there are problems with personnel. let's say even well, in a certain perspective, they decide, but you must have noticed that not only there is an increase in the conscription age, but also other laws, there are many different laws that

directly or indirectly must somehow contribute to helping russia wage war, were adopted in recent months, well, they are trying, first of all, they are significantly increasing their military budget, they are allocating additional funding because russia is currently actively developing they were building, well, production, production, first of all. well, in general, they are trying all types of military equipment, but first of all, it is unmanned aerial vehicles and drones . they are being built there, but today there was news that , well, the spokesperson of the pentagon noted that it seems that the factory for the production of these uavs is ready for 80 % its a plus around especially around st. petersburg they are building a lot of large numbers of small enterprises whose

main task there is quite simple here manual manual assembly but nevertheless where they are going to produce different types of drones in including kamikaze drones well, in general, this is all a plus additionally with an increase in the corresponding personnel, that is, what is it, that is, now they will call up people who are three years older , respectively, well, the total number of their armed forces will increase, plus an additional one. i understand that they are trying to solve the issue even well, there with elementary some kind of supply in relation to equipping them with this . now china is helping them. this includes that. well , the information that appeared about the sale of armor plates for body armor to china, well, there is a lot there is a lot of other things, there are kevlar helmets, there are armor plates, and others. it was even significant that

they allegedly supply certain uniform elements or equipment elements, that is , goods are not weapons. you can’t say that china supplies weapons. but nevertheless, it helps russia a lot. and russians in general. i understand it. as i understand the logic of putin's regime now , it's about trying to go as far as possible. well, to drag out this war, and in order for the demarcation line that currently exists, well, although it is already quietly stopping its existence will try to preserve it until the end of the year so that we do not make any significant breakthroughs and after that conditionally create the status quo in order to start freezing this conflict and, accordingly , drag ukraine and our allies to negotiations and then start negotiating

you say until the end of the year, and you say that russia will have enough reserves there until the end of the year, but today the conen wrote that according to their data, according to the data of their interlocutors who refer to intelligence, putin will try to hold out until the us elections, and the elections the presidential elections in the usa will take place in december 24th, that is in a year and a half, i do not know if putin has so many reserves in terms of the presence of military personnel and weapons there, but nevertheless there is such information before the shao elections, the russians want to decide already this is a question because it is with this administration, uh, because they will beat the fact that the biden administration needs to show that the conflict in ukraine, uh, with their participation, was completed, exhausted or completed, and

how it will be completed, that is already big question, but now putin has all of his combat-ready army, including contract workers mobilized, is located on the territory of ukraine , moreover, it is already involved in battles, that is, in them and in the south and in the kupyansk limansky and donetsk directions, that is, they have reserves that they will additionally be able to if, well, it is necessary to fight there, if, for example, we break up or take some of them into a ring there, well, a significant group has more, that is, everything that it has, it now takes part in the battles and its task is the company of the ukrainian the offensive will continue until the end. well, until the end of november, the beginning of december , as long as the weather conditions allow us to move forward effectively , it will end. on the 24th, they will try to ensure that we do not

achieve any significant successes and, accordingly , continue to drag us to negotiations , did i understand you correctly? this last clarifying question from the action may last until november, and then there will be some definite a freeze, well, first of all, there will be well, forget it, let’s say it’s not a freeze, it’s just a reduction in the intensity of hostilities , it’s just caused by natural conditions, plus, look , what else do the russians want ukraine to use now, except for those troops that are on our line in addition, a little more than half of our reserves have now been used in the collision, some of them have been sent to the south in order to take over there, so we began to control the first line of defense of the russians and, accordingly, it is now important there

to greatly expand this bridgehead, that is, to take as much of this first line under control as possible, that is, to force the russians to retreat to the second, and for this, part of the reserves have already been deployed and transferred to the south, and secondly, this part of the reserves has been transferred to the kupyansk lyman direction, because there e- well, the russians will, well, now they have already started active hostilities, maybe they will move in the direction of kupyansk or limana with very large forces. we need to maintain a defense there, and for this we also used reserves of western equipment continues to arrive to us from our partners. well, unfortunately, they turned out to be quite slow guys and provide us rather slowly. but nevertheless , it arrives, we immediately put it in the army and accordingly form additional new units with this new equipment and accordingly, our reserves are growing with the russians, now they simply exhausted them

. well, what is the name of everything they had, they burned it during these offensives that lasted at the beginning of this year and until the beginning of may, that is their last the offensive in the direction of bakhmut took place on may 9, by the way, on may 10, the armed forces of ukraine already launched a counterattack in this direction. i am here only summarizing what we have just said, judging by the way russia adjusts its legislation, they want to replenish the reserves somehow at the expense of -e newly arrived e-e conscripts yes and the second point you know just the day before the german publication pain signed that after all russia has the means and resources to fight for another two or three years but again these are just theoretical forecasts so far thank you very much andriy

kramarov, a military expert , an officer of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine, we talked about the situation at the front and how the war might develop. troops from ukraine, i will remind you that russia was not invited to this place , the wall street journal wrote that the venue was chosen by the united states in the hope of attracting china to the meeting, which has close relations with saudi arabia and that by the way, the participation of the chinese delegation in the summit beijing already confirmed a few hours ago who and to what extent is interested in mir zelenskyi's formula and how kyiv plans to convince the so-called neutral states will be told by the international editor of svoboda radio rostyslav khotin ukraine globally promotes its peace formula. and this formula is the complete opposite of the russian narrative about some nazis and some kyiv regime. ukraine will say that the war

must end with their withdrawal of russian occupying troops from all territories, including crimea, the return of all prisoners, the payment of reparations, post-war reconstruction. this approach supports the west, but the support of the east and the global south is still needed. this is the main goal of the meeting in saudi jeddah, with the participation of about 40 countries, there should be indonesia and egypt, south africa, zambia, mexico- brazil, chile it is important that there are also india and china. the first meeting was in copenhagen. here is saudi arabia. the next step is the global miracle formula of peace by the end of this year. we are working to make it happen. this fall, at which summit, which needs and can be the world majority, representatives of the north and

south of the east, autumn is very, very soon, but there is still time to prepare ourselves here and involve most of the countries of the world. kyiv extends its approach to those who he may have been neutral, but he followed russian propaganda, and saudi arabia just wants to help ukraine advertise its approach. it is interesting that there will be no russia in judea. in may, president zelensky was invited to attend the summit of the league of arab states, and here is the second international forum in the same judea, the arab states have since the beginning of the crisis chosen a position of active

neutrality, non-negative neutrality, and positively . not only the final but also a world player, saudi arabia also seeks leadership in the arab and wider muslim world, i.e. to be a mediator , to offer a platform to promote the idea of ​​a just peace is beneficial, let's say turkey knows it, and now saudi arabia also understands it. saudi arabia has already helped to free from russian captivity ten foreigners who fought for ukraine and is ready to contribute to the new release . the saudis are also in solidarity with the crimean tatar muslims persecuted by russia on the occupied peninsula and also the grain of saudi arabia in order for the grain initiative that has now stopped to work again in the arab world. there is an unadvertised social

contract between the rulers and the people in our country democracy is in return available bread, we guarantee you that undermining russia's grain agreement undermines the stability of the arab world, in particular, the monarchies from the persian gulf to morocco and beyond. the factor of iran, which is a geopolitical rival of saudi arabia . iran supplies russia with mikadze drones, which it fires at energy facilities in winter and attacks grain infrastructure in summer. iran of ukraine is a friend of russia, why can't saudi arabia be a sympathizer of ukraine? the saudis are also longtime competitors of russia in oil. russia is not a member of the opec oil cartel. it is saudi arabia that plays the violin, but still, coordination is valuable, oil exists , the saudis can easily collapse the prices of russian oil by sharply increasing production. in the end, therefore

, a saudi or arab initiative or a negotiating platform of arab initiatives for the end of the war in ukraine can be added to a number of initiatives, we are for it it has been a year and a half now that the russian invasion of ukraine was observed by the turkish initiative. saudi arabia with its petro-dollars on the global stage is extremely important, in particular, when the question of the post -war reconstruction of ukraine arises

. the ukrainians did not think about not speaking in the first place, the war still ends, the war and our victory is only on espresso from monday to monday completely different spheres of human activity sports health politics return crimea, military analytics, nine presenters, journalists, experts, opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war in the author's projects on espresso with you vitaly portnikov and we will discuss the main events of this week vitaly portnikov and top experts about the most striking events of the last seven days in our the guest will be the generator of companion forces, the national security adviser of the president of the united states, donald

comments about this, much different today in the case of important in simple language available to all viewers welcome to the studio iryna koval and this is the summary of the week on the tv channel espresso news the summary of the week every saturday at 21:00 naespresso hello this is freedom morning informational project radio svoboda has guests here every day, this is the shipping district of kherson , we are live, we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we tell the main thing on weekdays at 9:00, congratulations, this week was marked

by the escalation of the war at sea, the russian federation is trying to control shipping in the black sea, this is a war against the ukrainian economy and an attempt to increase global prices for food and in general to destabilize the poorest countries to create a famine to increase migration to the eu at the beginning of the war we already managed to drive the russian fleet into the ports of the sinking of the cruiser for a long time, moscow reduced the desire of the russians to roam the sea, but the russians shouted and gathered missiles and now they are attacking our ports and sea routes, that the truth is that it does not pass with impunity for them. of the largest seaports on the black sea, here on the shores of which warships guarded the border panekton information these were boats of the fsb, the border guard went, drones

were destroyed well, that is remarkable for us this is no longer news , not long before that, in this area , the american interceptors are having fun, they just monitored the space, that is, we understand that they only take off and are in the black sea , by the way. provocation or to crimea but here it happened in a different way, which means that the information came out of the channel of the danube. well, this is a separate point . where we have to put things in order because, in principle, it is purely black sea ports. already blocked but the danube and the river, which then passes through all of europe, is borderline and that is why part of the ship declares that they are going to romania or something else and then turns to ukrainian ports , that is why recently we have all heard of strikes on the ports of izmail de eto the infrastructure of these ports was cooked, we will say so, we will rule out the possibility of loading these

ships about how the sb boats shot it down ukrainian drone, well, i literally shoot it down with me, you see, it’s very well aimed. well, in the end, i shot down this beautiful boat , which is called a landing ship. it’s called a landing ship. it’s a mountain deer ship. it’s like that . it’s a mountain deer . it’s a mountain mine . well, you see. well, judging by everything, this will happen somewhere, it is not known where to stand, and what is interesting is that this video is not shown in the russian news, moreover, in the russian news, they continue to talk about the fact that, uh, everyone was shot down by drones, nothing was damaged everything is normal, everything is told in the news, and right away in the conversation studios, it becomes completely different, how carefully this is the attack

that ukraine has undertaken in relation to the novorossiysk port. what was new, in principle, were the attempts to attack the black sea fleet and, you know, the sevastopol bay, that is , in principle, they simply expanded the geography of the military sense of the individual. конечно обидный для нас продаженный карабль и уперед ремонтировать well, it's a nuisance, and alas , you see the nuisance. well, but it's being hidden by the russian news, they say, no , nothing like that happened , well, this point of view is interesting in general. they try to say as little as possible about what's happening at sea, because there is very everything is so contradictory, they only talk about how they are bombarding our ports non-stop and this is what they are talking about all week very actively

. it has been going on for a week, it started with the fact that our ports were actually attacked , which are part of the grain infrastructure, where all our grain tanks are loaded. of israeli, turkish, greek origin have already calmly crossed the black sea water area by a direct route and ended up in the river danube . the factory of civil courts in this area, their destruction and the accusation of the ussr for the intentional withdrawal of the army in civilian objects, and this is actually the biggest danger according to the meme of strikes after the release of the izer deal that

now the military will use peaceful cargo ships in order to discredit the actions and the image vss, that is, what are they doing? this happened all the time until last week, and this whole situation actually shows that discrediting the russian federation is more than the russians discrediting themselves, well, it is simply impossible, because already the next morning after these verbal all this about how the russian naval forces will discredit them with their measured cargoes already in the morning about these same cargoes the same situation and the
