[000:00:00;00] go ahead, make him a hybrid, so he can't bring putin to justice. but now you can't physically bring him to justice either, they don't take into account two things, first - the long-term perspective history teaches that authoritarian regimes fall and their leaders, who considered themselves untouchable, end up in court a vivid example is the war in the yugoslav tribunal and milosevic and karadzic. serbia did not want to extradite these war criminals, it considered them national heroes, but when the new regime who came to power in serbia was forced to restore relations with the civilized world, they were forced to comply with the court's decision and transfer these people to the hague, and so they found themselves in front of international justice, which was considered the moment and

their actions and the moment of the creation of this international institution. well, just so unthinkable but there are also very important short-term ones, such as if the consequences were brics itself took place the other day, russia is a participant in this summit, putin was unable to go to the south african republic because he was issued an arrest warrant by the international criminal court , the south african republic would be forced to arrest putin, despite the fact that it obviously did not want to do this, so what am i leading to ? will call a spade a spade, will call putin a war criminal responsible for crimes of aggression, he will have to take into account india and china and the countries of latin

america, the countries of africa and those politicians in europe who also wanted to return to business as usual with russia and just forget everything that happened, you know, let's say in the nazi, in the third reich, it is also unknown, the fourth with hitler , whether he shot himself, or whether he poisoned himself there or escaped, it is unknown, you are in any case still certain uh well, also yuri bantrop, this level of trope as his lordship, the minister of their propaganda, well, there, together with this family of his, committed suicide, ribbentrop was hanged because hering was poisoned in prison. well, here , but in any case, the generals and top leaders of the reich one way or another was punished it was the inevitability of punishment, and even their propagandist, who headed the german publication disturmer, was also a hanged journalist , their editor, and here it is important that this inevitability of punishment was also for russia , so that they understood that this is a match

of justice , sooner or later the blade of the guillotine will fall on them anyway on their heads and here i have one very important question . please tell me from the ukrainian side how many people are involved today or structures and are working on the preparation of a collection of materials on the processing of these materials on contacts with by our partners with the victims who are preparing a conditional sentence for putin in the form of an evidence base. well, here we have to divide the work because there is a crime of aggression, there is one track that is conducted by the ukrainian state by ukrainian human rights organizations, and there is a huge number of crimes that have been committed since the beginning of the war in february 2014 and er intensified and grew to an incredible scale after february 24. last year , the ukrainian prosecutor's office opened 98,000

criminal proceedings, you can have this figure imagine what the need to effectively investigate 98,000 cases during a full-scale invasion means for ukrainian state bodies. well, it is obvious to a person even without a legal education and without a deep immersion in this topic . what is it? well, it is very difficult to do. we do not have enough human or material resources , therefore ukrainian human rights organizations , ukrainian journalists and international partners are now trying to build this e-e work on documentation, and at the same time we are working to ensure that this documentation does not it remains only to gather information for the future, the national archives , so that every person in ukraine who suffered from russian war crimes gets a chance that his case among these 98,000 will be carefully

considered and that this person gets a chance for justice, the world will continue to develop and grow and change ah this trial must be and the whole world must see this tribunal, hear, understand, be cleansed of something , repent all together, because you know, everyone has their own fate of guilt in this great war, uh, not righteous, and then the world will have a chance to change until it is the global evil represented by russia today has been punished, and there will be no chance of change, we will be daughters of this. thank you for your work . thank you to all those who are now involved in the victory over the enemy, first of all on the battlefield and in gathering information so that later this enemy should be tried in court oleksandr matviychuk human rights defender the head of the center of civil liberties was in touch with us and i remembered this doctor of propaganda joseph goebbels , who was also poisoned there with his whole family, that is, there is still a very good one in russia a phrase like this that is now very putin-like. it is beautiful. you can attach it to how many ropes

. look, the end will be like this and it will be. prigozhin already proved it. as they say , prigozhin proved the theorem in practice. serhii zgorets is with us, the director of the defect express agency. the military results of the day came out. serhii congratulations i congratulate the viewers on the holiday, happy holiday to our daughters, in fact, it is really important, a good, good holiday well, we are starting our conversation and today we will be together with serhiy, plus we will have the inclusion of a guest from the battlefield who will tell let's talk more with him, and he will tell us about a certain situation on the battlefield, so that we understand more, today we decided not to talk about prigozhyn. we may mention a little about the prospects of the wagner pvk, because this is a certain university, a combat unit is quite significant, which can have one or another influence whatever serhiy wants, we will have time, we can talk a little about what will happen to these scattered groups of belarusians in africa. in russia, on the battlefield where they are and what will happen to them in the future. well, you

start with i understand crimea today we left, and the first information that i read, for example, was that a special unit of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, as you can see, landed in crimea , serhiy, it was good news and a good event. it was indeed later confirmed by the spokesman of the state government andriy yusu that around four in the morning , we temporarily occupied crimea near satana kut , a special operation of our units was carried out, it was near cape targana-kut , and near the village of mayak, there is such a point of editorial intelligence of the enemy, they landed there our unit and then yusu said that the information will be announced later, but in some questions it was already said that thanks to this operation, our fighters damaged four enemy boats and destroyed at least 30 russian invaders, and this is the first such

amphibious operation on the crimean coast which suggests that the enemy cannot feel safe anywhere , including in any part of crimea. by the way, near satakhanka, literally yesterday, this s400 complex of russian air defense systems was destroyed, and today it appeared information that it is possible that this was done by the ukrainian anti-cork complex neptun, that is, the same complex that at this time destroyed the russian cruiser moscow, so we can see that our weapons are also being trained to perform tasks on the territory of crimea. and i said yesterday that one of my colleagues argued that it could be says maybe it’s neptune after all, but no, it’s there somewhere low above the water, it was there, it was preserved, it was made to fight primarily with naval targets, but there was a modified version of this e-e weapon for strikes on e-e ground targets and maybe this is just from the booth the first and successful experimental strike

on russian objects on the bastun naval complex is also against ships, but it is used to hit civilian targets in odessa and on grain terminals, so i think that the ukrainians too now we should have a plot for your attention , in my opinion, and i will tell you about it, and then we will continue the conversation, so in 32 years, the armed forces of ukraine have gone from decline and total reduction to a forced and urgent revival in the great war, impressing the successes of our defenders became a surprise for the whole world, which believed that kyiv would be taken in 72 hours in the rating of the most powerful armies in the world, we became the 15th 15th currently the armed forces are armed with a wide arsenal of himers leopard patriots ascorus f16 but how was the ukrainian army formed in the plot of the collapse of the soviet further the union has the fourth largest army in the world on the territory of ukraine , plus enormous reserves of ammunition and military equipment

. one army corps, and also the nuclear arsenal and ships of the black sea fleet, the number of servicemen is almost 800,000 people , and the total number of armed forces, including civilian specialties, is almost 1 million people. fleet management was carried out very organized and extremely conservative for many decades and since moscow in 1992 the ukrainian army has been rapidly reduced in numbers, the arrival of viktor yanukovych to the post of president in 2010 only accelerates

the collapse of the armed forces. by the end of 2013, there are only about 120,000 military personnel in ukraine , and conscription is being canceled altogether . of the joint rapid response forces and the main defense forces in the permanent readiness and reserve forces in the spring of 2014 , the ukrainian army suffered colossal losses as a result of russia's seizure of crimea, in addition to weapons, our army remains warehouse bases and powerful facilities of the defense-industrial complex, first of all, the anti-terrorist operation in donbas, the armed forces are significantly strengthened, first of all, due to six waves of mobilization in 2015, the number

of servicemen is increased to 250 thousand , budget funding is being increased , the financial support of the personnel is being revised , such a number held almost until the beginning of the invasion, 250 to 261,000 today is the number of our armed forces. and this year, the president of ukraine, volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi has signed an additional 11,000 units that will deal directly with this issue, these are special operations forces and territorial defense forces. since 2014, a line of various vehicles with a 4x4 wheel formula has been appearing . fury uavs are being successfully used for their purpose . new helicopter modernization projects are being implemented. march 20, 2019 in 2021, the armed forces of the ukrainian ssr adopted turkish tanks , according to the publication, they replaced three tanks in 2021. the ground forces of ukraine have more than 800

tanks of various modifications, about a thousand infantry fighting vehicles, more than 300 rocket systems of salvo fire of various calibers, etc. we began serial production and supply to the armed forces of ukraine of the neptune missile complex, our army received anti-tank missile complexes javelin and counter battery systems, we launched a complex missile program for the first time even before the start of a full-scale invasion, they begin to supply us light anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems june 1, 2022 biden announces deliveries of artillery salvo fire systems during the summer in the fall, their number increases from warehouses in europe, and soviet equipment is given away. the ukrainian military is now very successfully using long-range missile systems, including the hymars provided by the united states and other partners. the defenders of ukraine

are holding back the russian invaders in donbas with all their might. after 2022, western air defense systems such as the patriot begin to actively announce and deliver talks about tanks and modern models of heavy armored vehicles starting already in january 2023, the long-awaited abrams from aviation should appear very soon, we have 31 helicopters and 18 planes, mostly soviet ukraine will be given one more patriot battery thank you, that is, we already have three guaranteed batteries, but this is only the beginning, we are working on new solutions to strengthen our on july 11, 2023, nato itself in vilnius made a decision regarding ukraine as a country that will become a member of the alliance without a state, and

on july 12, 2023, the g7 ukraine agreed on a joint declaration of support for ukraine open for signature by others countries kateryna galko tv channel espresso as they say, they saw a not so brief description of what was happening in the ukrainian army. serhii commented on all this very actively as a participant, well, who watched this process, was inside this army. but now i understand serhiy, i want to invite guests to conversations and then maybe we will discuss the video transformation, a lot has been said about weapons, but it should be understood that such an inseparable triad actually works, it is a weapon , fighting spirit and skills, if there are no good skills and a strong fighting spirit, then this weapon in fact, it remains like that, just a piece of iron that is unable to perform the functions of neither a sword nor a shield. and just the combination of weapons, will, and skills, in my opinion, on the battlefield

, it is the best demonstrated by the third separate assault brigade, which is currently fighting near bakhmut, and now the major of the armed forces forces of ukraine deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade maksym zhorin p maksym i congratulate you on an important day independence day i congratulate you i would like to thank in your person all the commanders and fighters of your brigade which for much more time since the 14th year, the star has been demonstrating courage, professionalism and dedication to the interests of our country and i would like to ask how it is today, on independence day, what is happening in the area of ​​responsibility of your brigade, how was this day on the battlefield. well, about 10 minutes ago, we repelled the last e-e for the time being, the last attempt to attack our positions

e-e if we talk about the situation in general in the bakhmut direction and where our brigade is performing combat tasks, then the situation is as follows : the enemy has transferred quite a lot of forces here e-e and forces and means of personnel and equipment and artillery and because of the fact that both we and they are not going to stop the fighting here is becoming very brutal, they go every day for every position and in the literal sense that if now we are not conducting assault actions there, then it means that the enemy is conducting assault actions every day for some time now, the enemy really wanted to stop us with the reserves that he transferred here, but at the moment he does not have that comes out and we continue about

our movement despite the fact that it is necessary also carry out counterattacks that the enemy organizes several times a day on our positions. i will ask my question, you know the questions of the audience. and to a lesser extent than from a specialist in the military ssssphere. the events of the death of the leadership of the wagner formation, which , well, worked quite actively at one time, put a lot of people under the bahmut and in the bahmut itself . if their organization was decapitated, then will they go somewhere or will they already be divided and now they are not participating in the battles around bahmut or on the flank, please no, all the representatives of the wagners have been taken out of here for quite a long time, no one

has been there for a long time opposite us are the regular units of the army of the russian federation, they are mainly paratroopers . also, for some time, they tried to transfer units of the akhmat to here, but they did not succeed, and now we do not see them anymore. there are volunteers, volunteer units, which are also they are transferred here, mainly in this direction, or motivated experienced units or such motivated volunteer units have been transferred here, because it is at their expense that they are trying to plan not to stop us , that is why the wagnerites are not here, and therefore, the murder, so their the leader yes, the main one is the commander , i don't know what they called him, in principle, it doesn't affect the progress, at least here in our area

. dear, what is the main reason why the enemy gets this area? will it lead to some kind of collapse of their front ? will it give an opportunity? clinging to this bakhmut and fighting for a city that does not actually exist, please, well, now, by and large, all the heaviest battles are taking place not for the city itself, on the flanks of the city, for a small population, points around it such as klich klishchevka andriivka kurdyumovka, it is near them that the most difficult and difficult battles are going on right now, and the enemy understands that after we achieve success in bakhmut and surround him, it will be an extremely difficult defeat for them and, first of all, a political one, because for a very long time they fed

of their people because, well, it seems that all those tens of thousands of russians died here, and then uh. it turns out that it was for nothing. yes, they lose the city and suffer defeats on the flanks, and their units retreat . therefore, it will not only be military for them the problem is that we will be able to advance further and develop our success already inside the donetsk region. and this will also be a rather significant political problem for them. maksym auto there were messages from the general staff yesterday about successes on the southern flank of bakhmut, i understand that these successes are not always visible on the map and not always . as i understand it, the success or failure of those actions should be measured by advancement, but at the same time, can we say that there is an advance to the side there in the zone of klicht and andriivka with the exit of our troops to this railway, which just advancing in the area holding the defense exactly this is what is happening now it is called improving the tactical position so now our units are engaged in improving

their tactical position so that it will be faster, easier and more efficient to move forward now those successes are mostly aimed at to prepare the area here, a sign to prepare everything necessary to then move forward , including for the railway, which is now in front of us, so it is not always visible on the map but here in the area, these are very important areas, sometimes when there are 100 m or 50. they are very important for the overall picture and for further advancement. a couple of days ago , there was a video from your brigade of the work of your artillery when the enemy armored group was destroyed, which appeared on the edge, then there was a similar video from your neighbors, e.e., the fifth assault brigade, also with the destruction of russian armored tanks and bmps , does it say that the enemy began

to use armored vehicles more actively in order to somehow gain their positions and this somehow it is a sign of another tactic of the enemy to hold their positions well, considering all the circumstances, it would be more correct to say that they er tried to use the technique to advance because at this point after we destroyed a huge amount of equipment in our direction and also er the units that are next to us destroyed their equipment quite effectively, so at the moment, er, they have returned to their old tactics, after all , for the most part, they are trying to move forward. after all, all these stories from built in columns with tanks that are going uh, they are losing all this equipment quite quickly and now, despite the fact that they have more , they have a lot of this equipment, but still, they again began to try to protect it a little and

use it less on the battle line collisions, if they are tanks, then they mostly now work in closed positions, if it is pmp, then it is mostly they work like taxis at night, they pick up personnel, they immediately run away because we, if only i see it, immediately destroy it, that's why such attempts were made by them for some time they tried to attack us with equipment , but we stopped all these dreams quite quickly and the enemy cannot move freely on equipment in our area of ​​responsibility, but there is still a possibility for prospects, ask you a little, well, autumn will start soon this will start, but then it will still get cold in the winter period, this will in any case affect the course of hostilities, the tactics of the battle, the nature of the battle, is it possible to calm down in bakhmut, will it be like last winter

, the past was engaged in bloody terrible battles, when the fate of this area of ​​the front was actually decided. as you expect, this time, any season, in principle, it affects the same as the weather, as well as the nature and relief of the area. they always affect the course of events . they always affect the battle, but they affect us in the same way and the enemy does not have such and such a temperature or such weather conditions that would affect us in different ways. well, if you do not take into account there in terms of clothes, ammunition and similar things, i do not think that in reality the weather or the season will significantly affect the progress events and speed of our advance, it will be warm weather, or it will be rain, or it will be snow , we will adapt to it anyway, and there if we need to replan and move on , maksym, thank you very much for the inclusion for your words about the work of the third assault brigade as

seen by everyone in the world in ukraine. once again, i congratulate you on independence day, who are now defending themselves with weapons in their hands, and i will remind our viewers that it was major maksym zhorin , deputy commander of the third separate storm brigade, whose fighters are now destroying the enemy under bakhmut, yes, well, i actually understand, we have said everything we wanted to say again, i think aha, well, we literally have a minute to make a short, short summary, i understand for myself that, after all , and ukrainian intelligence, as they say, they love say the military special forces and the military special forces and the security services, they decided to hurt the enemy on his territory and do everything , as they say, better and defense is an attack. will it work in the short term? now there are many examples when enemy logistics are destroyed due to long-range systems, and due to the actions of our

military special operations forces, the enemy will receive new sources of irritation, and where the enemy actually does not have time to react quickly, this is actually a sign that we are changing tactics , which really brings effective results . well, plus, i think it's worth waiting for the interview that this russian helicopter pilot who landed on the territory of ukraine will give, who will tell you what's good for him there, well, we have 500,000 dollars in general, there was a copter and support, that is, a person made the right choice. yes, i think that this will be a good signal for other russian specialists there, pilots, that this choice should be made after all, because there is a prospect there, there is no prospect in sudo , again, no, not now on thursday well, then i thank sergey thank you vasyl thank you to ours and we still have a plot for your attention he believed that dying at the front does not mean being

a hero oleksandr egorov of azov from bila tserkva defended the borders of the state back in 2014 and then the senior sergeant went through the hottest battles without a single scratch. in the last seconds of his life, he sacrificed it for the sake of salvation. the twin story of a brave warrior who was born and grew up in independent ukraine . see in our story sashko mucha beloved , this is how the 28-year-old belarusian citizen oleksandr egorov was called by his relatives and the bride for them. he will be remembered as a courageous and responsible soldier who fought for the independence of ukraine since 2013, it started with the maidan, where the boy together with others opposed the yanukovych regime, later friends they informed about the formation of the azov battalion, which he joined without hesitation, as his mother recalls, at that time alexander was 19 years old and he studied in the second year of a local college , but for the sake of protecting

his homeland he left everything and took up a weapon. and you, mother, are proud that your son grew up to be a man, and he packed his backpack, and i was numb and stood there, and, well, i accepted his choice , a family of soldiers came to us a month later, says mom, we already liberated mariupol with weapons in in our hands, the commander andrey beletsky, this commander gave us leave for 5 days, he stayed home again for a day and again went to azov well, that's how his military life began , everything developed quite quickly, the release of maryinka, the battles near ilovaisk shykin, for which he received awards in 2016 in 2005, yegorov passed sergeant courses at the military school of commanders and became its instructor. two years later, he returned to the combat unit and performed tasks in the area of ​​the svyatodar arc, after which he resigned from the ranks of azov and before

the start of the full-scale invasion in the national corps on february 24, the boy returned to the defense as part of the azov territorial defense unit, which eventually became the third assault brigade and below the occupiers, we are shouting that over time in the zaporizhzhia and donetsk directions. of the hottest spots on the front, but he kept it a secret from his mother that he told me that he was on the belarusian border . the friend's ego was completely cut by fragments that a military medic was already running towards him, he threw them off his cover, jumped out on his own, and the woman
