[000:00:00;00] but for now the russians are forced to operate because the question of the coming weeks is whether they will be able to hold tokmak. valeria, an officer of the 128th brigade, is one of the many thousands who are now liberating the south from the occupiers, and she knows from her own experience how well the invaders are entrenched in zaporozhye, artillery , mortars, many landmines you can't take a step to the left or a step to the right, i.e. there is a path there, you have to walk along it, because if you give way there and you can get somewhere , it is critical for the russians to get their transport hubs, tokmak is one of them the possibility of its supply to their front line is cut off, and through mariupol, which goes through the mariupol berdyansk melitopol tokmak line , this is actually their main supply line today, the distance is 20

km from tokmak, but with an easy walk, these kilometers will not be the easiest shelter on the battlefield - it is a single a trench for prone shooting. it should be 170 cm long, about 60 cm wide and about 30 cm deep. a trained fighter should make such a shelter for himself in about 30 minutes. and these are the trenches prepared by the defense forces ukraine, at the very beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, digging with shovels is too long, it is better to take special engineering equipment. as shown in this video, in an hour of work, such a machine can make approximately 1 km of ops, so the russians had much more time to arrange their defenses. in some places, their fortified areas resemble real fortresses . this photo was taken just in

the direction of tokmak near the robot's hundreds of meters of trenches, and this is only on one field , one gets the impression that the occupiers are preparing for a battle to the death, possibly with the aim of giving their to the main forces, as i already said, to withdraw partly to the east and partly to the crimea, and in time they will be in these cities. well, there it is also called to be closed as in small fortresses and , accordingly, to give business with this. feeling the inevitability of losing more and more new territories in the south the russians are also preparing new defense lines, in fact we have them from the northern border of the luhansk region with russia to mariupol, it will be one such large fortified creation with which the enemy, of course, if he leads there, a rather large combat contingent will be very, very hard to believe

to knock out, but first, the next city is seen as an obvious step on the part of the armed forces. but will the ukrainians take it by storm or is there another strategy to surround e sam e fortified area to climb to certain heights and thanks to e-e higher-quality artillery, greater and greater range of power, simply take it under fire control, that is, in fact, in the operational environment of such and such a fortress and this tactic is not the only advantage of the defense forces of ukraine , the russian army still has an advantage in terms of people , artillery and aviation equipment, but the armed forces of ukraine succeeded are implementing the strategy of dispersing russian forces along a large front, our task is to prevent him from concentrating on a certain area on some separate area of ​​the front and not to give him the opportunity to maneuver such reserves. so , as of today, precisely in the south, uh, this task is successfully performed by our defense forces , so in the main task of the ukrainian general staff is to save people, equipment and find a loophole

in the russian defense. the phase of trench warfare or to a certain extent the situation is stabilizing there, but in other areas of the front there may be a serious revival and our most important advantage is trained and motivated soldiers like valeria , who has three destroyed russian tanks to her credit, a young female officer from the zaporizhia region and now dreams of getting to where her career began i feel the war at my place, and that is, at the beginning of the war. i was just in the zaporizhzhia direction and received a wound during childbirth, and that is, i feel that i must come to give birth, it will be a strange feeling and for sure

pleasant, the strategic goal of the shift to the south remains unchanged, to reach the azov coast , to cut off the southern transport route of the occupiers, and the russians understand this well. but will a kilometer of russian trenches and a cubic meter of reinforced concrete bunkers stop the ukrainian counterattack ? other future bridgeheads for the liberation of ukrainian land pavlo vasyl ictv facts of the week single news new aid package worth a billion dollars such a gift this week, the us secretary of state anthony blinken brought to kyiv a high-ranking guest who arrived in ukraine with an unannounced visit of a traditional ukrainer by rail, and not for a few hours , but for two days, which indicates a deep trust in the skill of ukrainian air defense. the main focus of the guest's attention was on the counterattack. anthony blinken emphasized several times good progress and understands its value, it is not for nothing that the first step of the visit was honoring the fallen

ukrainian soldiers at the berkovets cemetery of the capital, meeting with president volodymyr zelenskiy, the us secretary of state immediately put the dots on the games. the united states is determined to go side by side with ukraine and president biden asked me to come to reaffirm our support and make sure that we are making enough efforts together with other countries to meet the challenges of the counteroffensive and help you in the perspective of building a force that will be able to defend against any aggression among the sensational statements of the decision to transfer to ukraine a share of the confiscated assets of the russian oligarchs, they took such a step for the first time because those those who contribute to putin's aggressive war should pay for it, in general, the visits of the antonym of blinky to signal to moscow that washington has no

intention of retreating, so wrote the western press , emphasizing the transfer of depleted uranium shells for abrams tanks as part of the aid package, but regarding long-range missiles, attacks with the discussion is still open, as dmytro kuleba said at the final press conference , let's hope that this discussion became warmer after the informal communication between the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry and the state secretary together they intercepted the usa at mcdonald's, recalling their youthful adventures, in discussions they sought answers to the most pressing questions of this war, the future of ukraine and the world, and at the eu summit, the yalta european strategy forum again gathered in kyiv true friends of ukraine , high-ranking guests of leading experts from around the world, artem attended the global brainstorming session bullet ukraine in the center of world attention

counteroffensives a new phase of the war how its outcome will affect the future of humanity ukraine's victory would be a blow to autocracies around the world the west dragged its weapons, did russia dig in, did the partners make the right conclusions, if only we were faster then this war would have already ended at the end of the 22nd year, why did the civilized world not add sanctions to the kremlin and what is missing for ukraine to win, incredible exclusives with boris johnson, you know in ukraine you are even called cossack jonsoyuk, in any case, i am proud of it, as well as the scenarios of the end of the war , the brainstorming of the yalta european strategy, two politicians, leading experts and diplomats, and international observers and scientists arrived in ukraine for the eu summit. the yalta european strategy met for the second time in kyiv. first, a full-scale invasion , despite all the threats of wartime, and with

this in mind, even the program and venue of the event are kept strictly secret. at the beginning of summer , at the cost of incredible efforts for jesus, such a new stage of the war was opened by seizing the initiative , the further course of world history depends on the outcome of this battle, and this is not a path, because russia unleashed a war primarily against human morality, a war against ukraine is a war against morality, and the protection of ukraine is protection , first of all, it is the protection of morality for many in the world ukraine is not just a state in europe that defends itself from russian aggression for many now ukraine is personal moral choice , the future of the world is determined today in ukraine, this very thesis became the main topic of the meeting viktor pinchuk teaphone has been holding for 18 years traditionally sets the tone

against the background of a telling art object this installation of war literally in real time everyone from these displays - this is what captures drones on the contact line, it emphasizes that the ukrainian military sees the enemy like in the palm of your hand, that is pure tukems, there are two political camps in the world , democratic and autocratic, and they are in a serious conflict, we do not know who will win in this room, we all support we expect democracy and believe that victory is behind it, but for the rest of the world it is not obvious, now it is already clear if the west, at the beginning of a full-scale war , had made its moral choice more decisively and provided ukraine with all the necessary weapons and introduced shock sanctions, russia would not be able to pay off the stolen land like this, and the topic of the ukrainian counteroffensive would not be so difficult when some partners say, so what about

the counteroffensive, when will the next step be, my answer is probably today that our steps are faster than the new sanctions packages, if someone from the outside thinks that the counteroffensive slow , in fact, i would like to drive a car at a speed of 500 km/h. that's why it's so dangerous, that's why there are human losses - says zelenskyi and once again calls on former prime minister of great britain boris to give ukraine the necessary weapons johnson suggests going even further. ukraine needs to become a member of the nato alliance as soon as possible. it has been proven that it is an effective alliance. there was an argument that if ukraine becomes a member of nato, it will provoke putin , but look at what happened without ukraine's membership in nato. ukraine johnson is a world leader who supported ukraine in the most difficult months

of the war. facts of the week recorded an exclusive interview with him. the ex-prime minister admits the mistake of the west , which is dragging the latter trying to appease russia. i think we have been worried for too long regarding the risk of escalation, and i think that it is true, we have nothing to fear. we must support ukraine in order to give the ukrainian people what they need as soon as possible. you have almost become national heroes. they even call you cossack johnsonyuk. in any case, i am proud of this. the values ​​of democracy and freedom work and for this it is necessary to protect ukraine until the last russian soldier leaves its territory , johnson believes that the dilemma is simple, either ukraine defeats the enemy on its land or humanity

will have to fight in a global conflict later e putin contest ukraine and if putin conquers ukraine he will become powerful enough to challenge us in europe and this will be another victory for the alliance of autocracies the result of this what path will the world take already in the next decade the debris of the war may fly to neighboring scientist frances spokuyama moldova, georgia, moldova and kazakhstan each of these countries will be immediately affected if russia wins, on the other hand , the victory of ukraine will affect the behavior of autocratic countries, as well as those that have not yet have taken a firm position and are considering where to return to a democratic world or a self-critical one , so the outcome of the war will be of decisive importance, including for africa. ukraine and its influence on

the architecture of european security, which mechanisms and approaches in the confrontation with russia are effective, and which ones need to be changed, this issue was also one of the key issues, johnson assured that despite the adopted sanctions of the west, and failed to salt russia's economy, we have to admit that sanctions are not a very good system and putin has found markets for his oil and i think we need to take $300 billion of russian state assets that are now frozen and we have to say look you won't get them back in one way or another, they will help in the reconstruction of ukraine in ukraine until now , the transfer of western weapons to ukraine has shown its undoubted effectiveness, every new decision, from the supply of heimers to long-range missiles of storm shad, changed the course of the war and fugagen

faster if we were just faster then this war would have already ended at the end of the 22nd year, i think you could have won this war if you were armed as you are armed now, so did the west realize its mistakes, for example , it was still worth slowing down for fear of escalation from russia which escalation we are talking about, absolutely all types of weapons are involved, from submarines to strategic aviation. this is definitely the first war in which absolutely all types of weapons were used, the logic needs to be changed a little, not everything depends and not everything in absolutely everything is in the hands of the russian federation and not everything is in the hands of other players on the world let's put it this way. on the world stage, a little bit of it depends on us, it also depends on us , and the struggle does not only need comprehensive support , it is reforms on this domestic front , emphasized the 43rd president of the united states, george

bush, who spoke at the meeting in an online format, ukraine should take care to ensure support from the united states, this is the fight against corruption. because we spend money on this and many americans are annoyed. if this money instead of to fight against russia is in someone's pocket on the fields of meetings, there are many people in the form of fighters who defend ukraine on the front lines, they have a very powerful motivation because, unlike the russians , they clearly understand what they are fighting for, but it is important not to forget the cost and not to romanticize the terrible war every wounded person she is wounded for the rest of her life, everyone who dies will never tell you anything, and unfortunately there is too much romantic pathos and beautiful stories around the war, the defender of mariupol ilya samoilenko assures in an interview of the week that when he

decided to serve back in 2016, for him it was not even a question of what the most important thing to understand is that every person is a victory , because we no longer ask the question of whether it is possible to somehow stay aloof . no, it is not possible. he will order. country for us and for the world community is one and the same whether it will be the withdrawal of the defense forces to the borders of 1991 or a change of power in russia at the meeting , various options were considered the war will end when the territories are returned and by definition russia, which left these territories, will be a different country, so it will be a country that refused this conquest of ukraine , and then the country will be rebuilt. at the meeting, many people talked about money and how the support of our state will affect the global economy. the participants urged not to be afraid to invest in ukraine. after all, this is in any case a powerful investment in the future. on the sidelines of the meeting, they also discussed how to return children deported by russia and the psychological

rehabilitation of fighters. there is still a lot of work ahead in ukraine, but now the key goal victory artem kulya facts of the week ictv - the only news ukraine will become a catalyst for changes in the history of mankind how does it smell of unity with such words hollywood actor sean penn came to kyiv to participate in another powerful international forum, he went on stage with an outline of ukraine on his lapel just like that ukraine was close to the heart on the snow-white dress of elena zelenska, who founded this summit of the first ladies and gentlemen, that is , the second halves of world leaders. last year, their soft power helped raise more than 6 million dollars for 92 modern reanimobiles, this time he himself focused on medical partnership between countries, and the key topic of conversation was
