serhiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine, the discussion, the snow falls, they don't let us sleep, they tell us what's going on the breakthrough, more precisely, the first breakthrough of the excellent line of defense has already taken place, and this is already in the direction of the enemy. i think the most important thing is that there is an advance in the melitopol direction, there is an advance in the berdyan direction, talk about 100-200-300 meters there, well, they can say yes , there are 500 m, there is a full kilometer of advance, but as for tokmak, i even saw that a certain discussion took place on social networks, well , first of all, the war and there are social networks in relation to the discussion around military operations , well, these are incompatible things in my opinion, and here my

position is very strict. related is the final learned decision regarding the execution of certain combat tasks. we have a big front too. i don't want to dive into the history of last year when we talked about kharkiv, for example, and kherson, where is the charter, where is kherson, and what happened in the end, both there and there literally, an operation in one location and in another, of course, i respect any opinion of an expert opinion , but let's observe the field, let's help the armed forces, that's actually all that can be talked about today, the most important thing, and society must understand what is and once again i say military commanders they know the situation completely and fulfill the tasks that the armed forces are faced with. this is the liberation of the ukrainian land because it is very difficult. we do not forget that, so you know, today to tokmak

, tomorrow they flew there to zaporizhzhia or there in the liman direction to bakhmut. well, it doesn’t happen like that. it is possible to give only one thing that the enemy is unpacking all his reserves that he has. well, they all mean those that are concentrated, of course, here on our russian-ukrainian front, and he is throwing the maximum. there is even information that from the occupied kherson oblast units of the russian copy troops, they even find themselves somewhere under the bakhmut. such information comes, so you understand what it is about. it is not from a good fate. they have such a situation. i do not want to add to the ranks of those experts who say that ours is so simple, everything is so easy. no i fully understand what is happening uh and again all these movements of the enemy they are of course for us uh with positive and on the other hand there is the fog of war we don’t forget about it either and that’s why

intelligence works that’s why commanders work i i am sure that the situation is stable, stable, difficult, but with those advancing directions like i said, serhii, do you have any vision of how enemy logistics work now, in particular from the temporarily occupied crimea to kherson region, because the other day you did not say that you had repaired the chongar crossing road , as i understand it well, they supposedly worked on the armenian perekop even before that , can we say that this is the backlash that we received due to damage at the end of july, if i am not mistaken, it actually ended. what is the situation with chongar? to draw a conclusion from this censorship that currently exists around messages regarding this location of this elastic path, because the regime there is very strict, they are already beating their hands, eyes, and feet so that they do not show what is happening there

, uh, and all the talk about the fact that they restored it, repaired it the conversation remains, but the pontoon crossing was abandoned, of course, but it cannot completely replace the place . ideal, well, it is difficult to say percentage plan, nevertheless, it is difficult to supply weapons or supplies of personnel to the russian occupying forces, which are located , for example, on the territory of the temporarily occupied kherson region or the temporarily occupied part of the zaporizhzhia region. to carry out military operations in one or another location from the leadership of this direction, of course we are talking about kherson there, about the tauriyskyi directions, about

the zaporizhia directions. well, of course, there is a general the picture of the battle is why i think that big himers, for example, he is not sleeping, british assaults, they are ready to carry out tasks, so we are not in a hurry, we want to demolish everything that is possible , of course, all the more. well, in russia, look, they have worked out these issues of evacuation . in st. petersburg, there was some kind of swimming on the rubber bands , the woman did not. with some kind of all the events in connection with the kakhov hpp, the consequences of the large water spill, in connection with the changing danger on the beaches, in connection with the fact that there is information against the mini grid on the beaches of odessa, they are confused and not

that they protect people very much it is without such extraordinary events , first of all, you are now. therefore , such an opinion is somewhat subjective to me there are also relevant locations opened by a joint order of the military command of the regional military administration , security measures have been carried out, the quality should be accordingly. answers at least eh. it's hard for me to say what people are feeling right now who are walking on the beach, why are they swimming there, swimming. the main thing is that there is safety. the main thing is that people

still go to shelter when the air warning signal sounds. it's like that's how it happens, and that's why people are happy. well, maybe it's impossible, i'm sure that it's certainly good. the main thing for me , a military person, is safety, first of all , because there's something to worry about , something to worry about. yes, for the last day there was cotton in the temporarily occupied crimea in the simferopol area, they have been watching for two days already . here is the post, as well as the institute for the study of war in the usa, well, they are holding such a discussion because of the experts. some say that it is ineffective uses well, or rather, it is not ineffective to use such expensive weapons. let march and others attack the logistics of the temporarily occupied crimea. it is better to focus it on the front lines of the south of ukraine, others

say. on the contrary, it is very good to cut logistical chains. crimea and in the south of ukraine, i don’t know. is this part of the reflection of their policy ? such a discussion was launched specifically regarding the actions of the armed forces of ukraine in the south. i think that this discussion can be continued, for example, in the ranks of the foreign legion, it is very easy for these experts to get to it, so that they can actually see what is happening on the battlefield, how effective is the use of western weapons, well, by the west, i mean this image of the collective west, as far as discussions are concerned, this is a question of discussion here, well, simply, well, i understand democracy, you have to express your point of view , they expressed it, and thank god, er, i will say once again that there is

a commander who makes the appropriate decisions weapons - that's good. but the most important thing is who controls these weapons, it's our people, ukrainian soldiers who know how to use what to use. and actually, we can see that from the positions that are there today, it's not the same experts gave us three days in february. last year, by the way, because a lot not all of them have their surnames, it's strange what exactly it is, i just know , that's why i can confirm about it, well, actually, this is the answer to the question, and the most important thing is that it pleases me. i really love this ukrainian word, it pleases me that these people who arrange similar discussions they they do not make appropriate decisions regarding the supply of weapons in the supply of types of weapons. well, i hope so. i hope not . i know it. look at how, for example, foreign partners , namely military personnel, first of all evaluate the actions of the armed forces of ukraine. there are no rose-colored glasses . people express their position cautiously because it is still

war i want to say once again that there is a fog of war, nevertheless, evaluating the progress and about which i am talking about there is accumulated experience and there is the liberation of the territory. well, this is the most important indicator, do not forget at what cost, but it would be better to have a discussion about this and talk about it every day about this at what cost, don’t forget, don’t forget, mr. serhiy, for the first time, the ship that left odessa after the termination of the so-called grain agreement reached istanbul, and there are reasons to believe that this is the first swallow and that, in general, we can make these processes systematic, that is, what is this route that has been overcome? anyway, it can become a real safe corridor. for this, in your opinion, what are the real prerequisites for implementing similar similar routes in the future? well, i don’t know

. comment on this, please. ships that want to repeat this voyage ah well, first of all, i will say that this route was completed, this container elk passed successfully and we all say, including me, i am not an exception , that this can become an alternative to the route that was taken before this and worked within the framework of the grain agreement, and i’m sorry, the discussion rushed right away, i’m saying it diplomatically, and the container ship under the flag of hong kong was negotiated with russia, so they released it. and as you wanted otherwise, i see it, i know it in the expert environment, by the way, this is also being discussed. first, second, yesterday, the pain throws information about uh, about qatar, about turkey, about russia . it seems that all this will be a suitable organization of the united nations, everything is agreed, they even have official correspondence, well, let's read what

is a scoreboard and a moron, his preferences, and so on and so forth they also have a similar official correspondence on this matter, and the alternative is that all ukraine was thrown out ukraine was crossed out, for me this is a sign that this test route has worked, will it become the basis of the future grain deal? i don't know if this will happen tomorrow the grain agreement. i too can't say for sure 100%, so i can't. i really hope for it. i really hope for that. in fact, all the others see romania's statements. we see the use of the territorial waters of other states in the black sea. turkey makes certain statements to huge thanks to the crew, they took a risk, thanks to the captain, as far as i know, there are still a few of these vessels in the odesa apron that remained at the time of february 24.

and in fact, they were in this blockade, and the others left because they just took advantage with the grain grain agreement, this one could not, for what reasons is this possible, because the specific question well, in fact, such a situation is happening now . i think that there will be a lot now, as they say , to grunt. i apologize for this topic. hmm, we still need to analyze the information that will appear but for those hints that well, just simply flew now the information space , that's why old me optimism and confidence in the near future anyway thank you mr. serhiy serhiy bratchuk spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south of own about the situation in the south, both on the field and in the information field. meanwhile, we already have information from the air force about this insignificant mass attack from uh, 17 shaheds or mopeds, as they are called in the people , 15 strike literally nobles

lying from the flow of news coming from all over the world? of important events, the weight of credible events is analytics, fact-checking, expert comments, much more today in the case of important things in simple language, available to all viewers, congratulations studio iryna koval and this is the summary of the week on the espresso tv channel, the news, the summary of the week every

saturday at 21:00, the most espresso, dad, who are you during the war, ukraine was a defender, a defender, and here we are now, following the military map with an eye, we will move north. i understand that kharkiv is already in contact with us, and serhiy zhukov, deputy of the kharkiv regional council, is in contact with us, mr. serhii good morning and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes of the kharkiv region, i see that the shelling was massed in the last day kupyansk vovchansk this is what we know

, can you tell us a little more about our border settlement, it was a mass shelling, the russians use not only artillery, not only monometa they are already using aviation not even a week ago, the situation there is tense, but our military is controlling the situation, they are giving a decent rebuff to the enemy, and by the way , you understand that this is a very relative concept about such a security zone but only yesterday we were told that when evacuating people, in fact, you can inhale something like this at your full chest somewhere in the area , except for shevchenkiv, when you go from kupyansk , it falls less, that's how much such a relatively calm buffer zone has narrowed or expanded. i'm having a hard time about it it is better to say it to communicate with the military, but we really have an ongoing evacuation from

the settlements of the kupyan community, and this is due to the fact that it is impractical and dangerous for civilians to stay there, you see, because we are just we are aiming at the official information when the regional military administration says that the gray zone actually increased in the kupyan direction, well, that is, it does not mean a retreat , and that the loss of some territory, but an increase in the gray zone means an increase in the danger of such chaotic shelling, this is official information in that we ask you how it feels on the ground, well, all together - this is a zone that is not under the control of ukrainian servicemen, not russian

servicemen, and of course what is going on there all the series of the zone and our enemy units, including subversive units, that's why i, as i said, the presence of civilians there is uh inappropriate, it 's dangerous like us. if we talk about the blue-eyed girl , it is constantly on the uh tip of the tongue of russian propagandists, they attribute to themselves control over this settlement by settlement, despite the fact that this does not exist in reality , how many people remain in this area, what conditions do they live in, the conditions are very difficult, you understand, and that is why the evacuation was announced, that is why the evacuation was announced, that is why it was the first state according to my data, after two weeks of this evacuation, almost half of the civilian population from there appeared, well, from those who remained there , because you understand that a large part of the people left these territories anyway, and in particular, in the same cossack area, large groups of people remain there

. it's almost 10 times less than it was before the war. well, we mean up to a full scale two years ago. russian propaganda really says a lot . of course we celebrate it all and they do. no need, they aimed at kupyansk , they announce its recapture and want to make this place another city of their military glory in quotes but of course i won't allow them to do that well, if you remember the year 22 and actually in that part of the occupied kharkiv oblast actually, we are not asking anything , because it is already known that there is a decision to convict a militant from the so-called lpr

in absentia, for us it is possible. police of ukraine and now it is with these front-line gray zones, how the occupier behaves with the local population , that is, you know something, are there any attempts to repeat this beast of the 122nd year, or are they not up to it now, because the armed forces of ukraine are giving them a good deal, well, i want to say that in kharkiv oblast, a very small part of the territory is currently occupied and it is difficult to talk about what is happening there at the moment. same vovchansk about the same

kupyansk about the same raisins and so on. at the moment, these are small villages. actually, it is difficult to say what is happening there at the moment . in a situation where kharkiv region is constantly being shelled, in particular, energy facilities are the targets of the occupiers, how is the preparation for the winter period currently being carried out, are the financial resources of the region being used at a sufficient level or targeted, to help people to survive this winter, well, i want to say frankly that lately there have been no large-scale shelling of objects of the critical energy structure of the infrastructure, but we understand very well that most likely the russians will try to repeat what they did in the winter

of last year and closer to probably the middle at the end of autumn, in the winter, these objects will again be the number one target for them, it is possible that such risks are very high. of course, in the kharkiv region, as well as throughout the country , the restoration of objects damaged last year is ongoing, but about the volumes and about specific the specific works that are being carried out there, of course, i cannot say, but these works are being carried out. as far as i understand, what is being done to protect them. well, in principle, the same as what was done then, these are the same, for example, well, the same buildings, the same sandbags, which were placed around the transformers in order to er reduce at least their damage er it is possible to damage them by a fragment from some overpass, but

of course nothing can save them from direct hits except our air defense systems, the location of which and the movement of which you also understand the secret of the boarding house, but there was just logic. that is, it will be more difficult in winter, your government officials warn from the point of view that there is a smaller margin of safety, but the system will work, it will not fall , it will not flash, but the logic was very deconcentration of e-e generation and crushing, i.e. transfer to smaller generating facilities or even the same diesel generators and burying them, not covering with sand, but concentration. as they say, more underground, in this case, the city having its e-e a powerful subway could take this into account, that is, in the city and the region, this is already taken into account. you see that we approach

defense against russian shelling in a different way. is everything the same as before? of the generating network , and not about the fact that you are not against the generator that we bought . did we receive it from our foreign partners? well , of course, it is not possible to bury them. was elected last year, the concentration of our generating capabilities and thus the complications let's say the destruction of a large number of capacities with one shot but nevertheless, there are such risks because it is impossible to concentrate everything, but what concerns the work of city and regional authorities

recently, i have not observed any purchases of such equipment , of course , there would be such news from kharkiv and the kharkiv region, our dear serhiy zhukov, deputy of the kharkiv regional council. our colleagues know ukraine and the world. khrystyna parubiy will now tell you the latest e-e news. khrystyna, we congratulate you and invite you to the floor. greetings, colleagues. thank you. well, i will tell the issue that i flew over the crimea at night, why american president joseph biden thinks that russia has already lost the war and about the situation in the regions of ukraine . and wait , khrystyna parubiy is working in the studio. 17 attack drones were launched by russia this night over ukraine , the command of the air forces reported that our defense

forces destroyed 15 enemy drones also yesterday, the village of defense forever
