returned from the front for rehabilitation in the trenches wrote 70% of the new book, now i literally have a book written in the trenches, a poetry collection called the familiar winter. i brought it and only two months ago, and in addition, i wrote two books for children for which i already have contracts with the publishing house and i think that sometime next year, they will be released due to a drop in demand. at least ten printed products are marked by book distributors in difficult times for people. writers are told by the initiator of the festival, tamara samelyak, the publishing house is now forced to survive, the publication has shrunk, it is very professional, some have left, some have taken up other work there where they pay more money, some are at

war, it is difficult for such small publishing houses in ukraine as a result of the pandemic and military operations, many have closed we survive due to the fact that in our hands we have joined the bookmaker and librarians say that due to the need to finance the defense, they do not receive money to replenish the fund from the state in the last two years, we have not received any money from the state, but we are looking for small grants, opportunities from charitable organizations, we are still trying to replenish our funds in the library. we have a campaign to donate a book to the library . about the peaceful life of a book writer is a platform where authors find their readers and those literature to the liking of the book writer has been going on for nine years, there was a slight break

, but we are resuming this story because the book is it's about feelings, it's about sensation, it's about e-syntheticity and intelligence, and i really want to preserve this tradition and teach young people to use books in the same way they know how to use gadgets and love to read specifically from printed editions, because it's about connecting with authors, connecting with those by the people who prepared this book and taking into account the fact that now the paper book is no longer in demand, the electronic one has not yet started to be used. this is a very important measure, it is necessary because without reading there is no person . scientific military, sometimes just fiction for recreation, more than 15 participants from different regions from kropyvnytskyi joined the all-ukrainian festival of the fair for the espresso tv channel, the american space agency nasa successfully returned the first samples from the surface of the asteroid

on the espresso tv channel. i am vitaliy portnikov and during the next two hours, we will talk with our guests about the most important political events of this week. this day is also quite full of news . first issue, our guest is the novel kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine , secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, and colonel of the security service of ukraine, congratulations, mr. roman greetings from the studio so, roman, let's talk about what is really happening in russian cities now , where drones are fighting over decision-making centers, we can say that this was the main threat to the russian federation. how did it happen that as a result , decision-making centers are attacked by ukrainian drones, and not the other way around, russian drones are hitting russian or ukrainian centers, this indicates that

ukraine is on the right path, and the right path in the absence of we still have attacks from and even attacks sometimes cannot reach those decision-making centers because they are sometimes quite far away, but this is a question of conducting an asymmetric war. if there is no missile, we will reach them all the same and we will constantly say yes , we show that we are getting closer, closer, well, this indicates that we are developing this, this is very correct, strategically, it is correct to conduct an asymmetric war, in general, a war of drones a on to the black sea, what our security service shows us is the impression of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, which even in the docks is the impression of their black sea fleet headquarters. and

in general, the decision-making center is what they did not count on. and this is what we they began to give them if we talk about what is happening in crimea , how much do you think that the ukrainian special service managed to worsen the logistics of managing the black sea fruit? how important is it in general? to set up such a logistics center in any other place, the main goals for the military have always been e-e logistics and control points. they have always played a key role, let's say, because e-e headquarters , they are usually in the army a rigid vertical decision-making center when it is knocked out staff for quite a long time, er, the work stops, starting from the front and ending, er, let's say, decision-making centers. that's why it's very important. well, in order for let's say yes, the headquarters to start er, to work again, for this, we need

new er, let's say yes, or new people or by to the new one to make decisions and let's say build new plans. therefore, it is quite important how much it will affect exactly these after these attacks that are now, we will look directly at the battlefield of course i am impressed there is data about what is there let's say so there are casualties among leadership of the black sea fleet, their leading officers, and how much it will affect, well, let's see . in particular, i think in a few days, it will be clear , in particular, at the tactical level. personnel decisions, but even then there was never such a thing. by the way, we did not know who the real military teams, groups, fleets, which of the senior officers could be killed or injured. it seems to me that even during the second world war there were no such

preservation of the curtain of secrecy around ordinary of combat losses well, they understand that the war has already gone the wrong way, which was also for them , every strike is uh, in addition to the fact that military military and strike at and destruction of the specific targets that we are targeting also for it's a big rehearsal for them, we didn't count on such a war when we started it, and now we see that everyone is already used to it and sometimes they don't even pay attention to the launch of missiles over ukraine and the impression of objects there, or let's say, our shooting down a large number of them of russian missiles when there are many times more of them flying there and they cause less damage , let’s say, when we launch the minimum amount of missiles we have. tell me, if you compare with russia, there are much less and the range is much less, and

we have only one carrier, these are airplanes, and they have a variety carriers starting from launchers er land surface er underwater air er but the fact that our missiles have started to arrive attracts quite a lot of attention and every russian perceives this and every military man begins to understand that he is not safe and the russians therefore and they understand that every dead high-ranking officer is also a blow to their reputation, this is from my point of view, so they understand that it is possible that if they change them often and everyone will know about it, then this will also strongly affect the reputation of the russian federation and of the russian army let's try to understand whether ukraine will really be able to get attack missiles and what can really change if yes. even a small number of missiles will enter the service of the ukrainian army, is it possible

to really change anything at all? they will come to us because they are of several types there, there are the newest and oldest missiles there from the 90s, which have a range of 165 km, they are cluster-type and their deflection radius is up to 200 m, let’s say one type of missiles, and of course if they if they come, we will be able to say that they will change something, especially with a small number, and i don't think there will be an impression there, it will increase if we get hit by them. you know when we say long-range attack missiles. and that’s how we understand exactly what it is for us. they are

long-range because we have a long-range one. for this , there was also a point o that flew at 120 km, but let’s say that to the army nomenclature, it is in general tactical complex, yes, this is a tactic, it is not even operational and not strategic for us . they are long-range. we often talk about it. we forget what it is. well, it’s not the newest weapon that you can talk about in the 90s - one result. i think there are other missiles with ee at 300 km. also in the cassette there are ten-year-old and old missiles that have 300 km and their deviation radius is up to 10 m

the latest missiles, the radius of which is also 300 km, some say that they are even on the 450th, it is possible to program a-a deflection radius of 3 m , so if we get even there a certain amount, of course we have to talk about creating some er, some kind of turning point in the war and inflicting symmetric strikes, we need hundreds of these missiles because we really lose precisely in the firing range. but if we get them, then these are the last missiles - they will be able to really change the situation for us at some operational level. i mean that these missiles even understanding where our positions are now, from the kherson region, from the zaporozhye region , they can aim at the crimean bridge with their deviation, and for me this is their main goal. at the exit to tokmak, we actually cut off the railway and

logistics of the troops, which is now the main one on the left bank of ukraine, this is crimea, this is zaporizhzhya, and this is kherson oblast, and if we can do it with the help of these missiles, we will already say well, it will be far from a victory. but it will be a very big challenge for the russians . i will adjust the logistics . then the exit to tokmak , which we are now gnawing out one meter at a time, i would also say the closing of the railway supply routes this would be a big step on the way to our victory. the first line of defense of russia, well, look, eh, in certain areas, eh, you can say that on the first on the per-, in certain areas

, recently. we passed this ditch and these dragon's teeth , but this is a very narrow is further opportunities to advance due to the fact that we cannot expand the flanks because as when we look at the map we see from our point of view when we talk about the counterattack about this salient that we took well it is about 10 by 10 km yes it is a tactical level when we we are talking about a strategic counteroffensive no, i believe that in as a result of active actions, we took this ledge 10 by 10 km, but the problem is that the enemy around this ledge is completely on the heights and using anti-tank guided complexes in the frequency of corsairs and whose pedaling distance is about five or more kilometers. they are completely when we go there for equipment, they give us the impression of lancets, cypresses and do not allow us to advance, the equipment is really passing there, our soldiers are fixed in foot

order. it is necessary to widen the flanks and the fact that we came to some narrow sections of this ditch and let's say we passed these teeth, it really is, but we are not able to move further there until we widen the flanks because it is a very narrow section for the sake of... using this success at any moment it can close so now i think that's why we are moving in the direction of the willow i think we need to do 20-30 km wide then we can talk about some serious forward movement well i understand that the russians are doing just that it is possible that this did not happen for them, this is the main effort to get heights for them, there is a height there, look at the maps there .

there were new weapons, new technologies, and this right, which we read about in the son e in his treatises , it is written there who is above her in law, and even in the 21st century, with the use of modern weapons , this tactic works. it is always on the side of those who have an advantage on the side those who are on at high altitudes, it can happen that until the cold weather and the line of defense will remain blocked by the russians, what are the chances that we will be able to break the crimean corridor, so-called. yes, we had a situation and plans were to go to the sea of ​​azov, and let's say it's you such daring plans that really gave priority and if we went there and the enemy really was already a question of time when we finish

the enemy now the main question is at least takmaka eh to get out at all, but the situation is difficult and until the cold weather well, looking at when eh there will be eh cold weather, you know, if you look at the schedules of the strength of means and what happens there when the flanks are not expanded, then it is unlikely, but this is a war and as of now when we are talking with you in the war, it is changing quickly , the reserves may be tightened, it may be let's say that some direction of the russians is not standing and this will all happen, but let's say now it is quite difficult to advance in this direction, the russians have really tightened there is even on diptai, so if you look not even at operational maps , the website somewhere there highlights a small percentage of the forces and means that the russians really have, and it can be seen that they have gathered quite a large number of troops from many directions and precisely on this

as this direction is strategic for us, so it is for the russians, and i am often asked why , for example, do not start to advance there in the eastern direction, of course you can, but looking at the map, we understand that strategic success can be achieved only on the zaporizhia direction is there in the kherson direction. and in the eastern direction, you can advance, but we are part of the territory that is free, and that is good , but there will be no strategic consequences, which will give us the opportunity to develop and liberate our territories, therefore, and chosen by our command, you know what the problem is here you don't need to be a great commander to understand this when you look at the maps. i think dear person, any person who looks at them will understand what needs to be done, so does our month and they are quite serious about it

prepared thank you, mr. roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence , and a colonel. also, the security of ukraine was on our air. about what the head of the russian foreign policy videographer sergey lavrov said at the session of the un general assembly that many perceive his statement as certain political signals from the kremlin, but what do you think negotiations without a ceasefire mean, what does it not mean, well, it's just some delusion that mr. lavrov is saying now, i would consider it much more important what he said about the recognition of the territorial integrity of ukraine , he said what he said if ukraine returned to the declaration of 1990, where it defined itself as a non-blocking country , then the kremlin could consider recognizing

the territorial integrity of ukraine, and here of course it was not heard. is it including these occupied regions or not well er, of course they mean no, but er, what he said is a signal, this is a certain negotiating position, all that he er says about a cessation of fire or not well, it's just a pass, i would say for the internal audience no, not the external one, a question of a different nature arises here, in principle, if we talk about this general assembly , the exchange of opinions between the president of ukraine and the minister of foreign affairs of russia, as well as the absentee exchange that took place also at the session of the general assembly, he already shows in in principle, russia is an absolute dead end is determined to go to war and the political solution to all these problems is absolutely not interesting, why does the idea always arise that someone can talk to the russians, who can persuade them to stop hostilities, where

do all these illusions come from? well, look here, it’s very simple, as i think there is a position of certain people there uh, in the administration of the president, first of all, it is uh, mr. sullivan and donson, ah, the head of the intelligence agency, uh, and their position is very simple, they believe that it is impossible to defeat russia, and this determines what sooner or later we will need they usually understand how to negotiate and mostly the majority of even the american society is set on supporting ukraine now. there are about 60% there. well, of course, 95% of ukrainians there are determined to win. it is because of this that they, as politicians, cannot ask the question that now we just stop. that's all, but they create

a certain pressure there on anyone, on the ukrainian leadership, on er, there is the eastern european leadership of the western european production that there will be no negotiations, and if there are, it is better to do it earlier in order to lose if possible there are fewer people and money from this side. well, of course, they need some kind of result, which they can demonstrate to their society before the elections, which will be held in america in november next year. and it is because of this that they believe that the negotiations are negotiations, but they are correct in saying that where are the conditions for these negotiations? well, the russians say that there are no conditions for negotiations . to end the war in

one form or another by november next year, we will only have the task of continuing it in one form or another in november of next year. for this war to go through the teeth of the presidential elections in the united states, that is logical with you. yes , of course, 100%, but they hold a slightly more complicated position. they they are trying to do this. so they say that it is ukraine that is interfering with this victory over ukraine. well, of course, the countries of the west, er, there is a law that forbids zelensky to lead, it is er, negotiations, and they always show that here we are. ready, this is ukraine, which is not wants uh-negotiations well, of course ukraine is a victory and that is where she wants to see the situation through to the end, to liberate her territory, which is not normal here. in principle, in your opinion, to what extent are the moods of uh-uh russian
