because even russia itself and its allies are not high-tech countries there in relation to and on a par with european countries, which are our union. mr. ivan, we thank you for the information and your optimism, it is very necessary, and we, for our part, thank the armed forces of ukraine for the fact that , risking their own lives every day, they bring the victory of ukraine closer. we would like to remind the viewers that ivan tymochko was in contact with the studio, he is a military officer , the chairman of the council of reservists of the ground forces, thank you once again for your service and for this conversation, we will continue the security topic in a moment. shohorons approaching victory. unbreakable, single.

to help restore power in the de-occupied territories? join the recovery pool. i will fill out the questionnaire on the website of the national agency for civil service. get into recovery. mysterious explosion near the coast of romanian -turkish. the maritime administration confirmed that there was an explosion at a distance of approximately 15-20 m near the bulk carrier, which was sailing under the turkish flag. the ship was not injured and continued to move towards destination, namely to ishmael. the captain of the ship separately noted that although the official cause of the explosion near the ship was not determined, it was very similar to the detonation of a bottom mine in the black sea. and another package of military aid in the amount of approx.

ukraine can receive 200 million dollars from the united states, this is being prepared to be announced at the meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine in the ramstein format in brussels. it will take place next week on october 10. defense ministers and senior military personnel will take part officials from almost 50 countries. among them is the head of the pentagon, lloyd austin, and the new head of the joint chiefs of staff. about the situation in the black sea, about the security factor and not only, we will talk further, and we are glad to welcome serhiy bratchuk to the call, this is the spokesman of the ukrainian volunteer army south, a military expert. mr. sergey, good morning to you. congratulations glory to ukraine, glory to the armed forces, congratulations. glory to the heroes and thank you for being with us at this moment. mr. serhiu, pushed back by the information about that strange explosion off the coast of romania, and immediately i will pull you here.

the material that appeared in the bloomberg agency says that the north atlantic alliance, that is, nato , is limited in its reactions to the actions in the black sea, there is no such quick reaction as to how to act and what to do, and they do not really want to approach this front line to its shores. mr. serhiy, please tell me, as of today , what is the situation in the black sea, near our borders, near our shores, and do you see the same reaction on the part of nato, weak, weak and not understanding what to do and how not to approach this conflict, this war to its borders. well, actually, i think that nato knows what to do, and as for the reaction, well , we look at this reaction through the lens of our emotional reaction, including the fact that we have a brutal war with the russian federation, on the other hand, we

we are talking about the fact that, for example, the romanians very quickly went from not recognizing the fact that, for example, particles, drones for shaheds fell on their territory, and then to the fact that they began to build shelters... on their own bank of the danube, to raise air if necessary military aviation, as well as accumulate appropriate means against air defense. nato today is engaged in intelligence functions, we know this, and this data is used primarily by the armed forces of ukraine, as for direct contacts with the black sea fleet of the russian federation, for example, it is unlikely that this can be expected in the near future, and this is for obvious reasons, here you can only to say, so as not to dwell on this topic for a long time, that the fifth article, which is in the charter of the north atlantic alliance, does not work, in terms of what is happening today against our country and on our territory, and in particular, including on the temporarily occupied territories of the crimean

peninsula or in the waters of the black sea. and actually, i would like to go back to what you started this morning's meeting with, that is about the explosion that happened in the sea, we can talk here precisely about the role of the black sea fleet of the russian federation in the near future, because this is precisely the effort to create such zones of mine-explosive danger with the help of underwater drills, first of all, or civilian students working for russia, i think that this is exactly the prospect that can be in the near future, because along the grain corridor, of course, because the enemy's grain corridor is a bone in the throat today. therefore, he will do exactly as happened with this ship that sailed under the turkish flag, today the type of mine is not determined, what it is, but we understand that the legend of the russians, it will be only one, that it is a mine-explosive danger

from the ukrainian side. mr. serhiy, you mentioned submarines, hostile, as it were, well, at least at the first approach, it seems that the keys to the surface enemy fleet, we are more or less successfully picking up little by little, ah, what keys to the submarine fleet can be, well today it is difficult for me to say about it, i am not particularly an expert in the fight against the submarine fleet of the russian federation, on the other hand, let's say what exactly , the submarine fleet, or rather, the factor... of the diversionary fleet, it became the guarantee that the surface fleet of the russian federation, it is today located in the western part of crimea , he leaves for novorossiysk, he goes to the sea of ​​azov, because that

submarine, which, well, i'm joking a little, died in the steppes of ukraine, it became a piece of paper for the enemy to remove his black sea fleet, i think that today we have to talk about the risks that exist first of all, in general, from the black sea fleet of the russian federation in the black sea, especially since the enemy is trying as much as possible today not to approach that distance, that distance to the black sea coast, for example, the odessa region, where they can to operate our means of fire damage, and as for the submarine fleet, i think that here we need to develop, of course, our drone fleet, which will be not only surface, but also underwater, and then we can talk about the fact that the enemy will hide submarines in novorossiysk or to hide in other bays that he is trying to equip today, well, a lot of people are talking about chamchir bay, and some are even skeptical, saying that it is such a brave idea of ​​the separatist government of abkhazia, but

nevertheless, it is a base that will not necessarily be the main one for the black sea fleet, but what under such a sauce they will try their ships... this is absolutely true. mr. serhiu. yesterday he was focused, yes, all the attention of the world was focused on israel. i am sure that you also followed the events unfolding there, your feelings, observations, and your professional experience. how similar is this situation to what is currently happening in ukraine, and will this war that has begun be so long-lasting. in israel? to be honest, i would n't do a full 100% parallel there right now between these situations, but on the other hand, there is the most important nuance in my opinion, it consists in the fact that, for example, shaheds that fly to the regions of ukraine, in particular to the south

of our country, to the odesa region, mykolaiv region, and those missiles that flew to israel, they have common roots, and they have... communalist roots , so the reaction of the world society should be the same, here we are talking about the most important thing in my opinion and it is in another, the fact that such states are israel. those countries that still doubt something, they, well, after this already simply obliged, in my opinion, to join forces with ukraine and fight terrorism in the world, the main terrorist is one, the russian federation, and what is happening in the world, here, well, just elephantine ears stick out behind these events, that's why well, i hope for that, that those who, yesterday... wanted to sit on two chairs, will be next to us. mr.

serhiy, what do you think of the thesis that if putin had been stopped and this terrorist prevented from killing ukrainians and carrying out terror on our territory, then what we observed the day before in israel could also not to be, he simply joined this group of terrorists around the world and seemed to give them carte blanche. i think that putin for a long time. and russia, as the format of a terrorist state, long ago gave carte blanche to those terrorist organizations that will continue to manifest themselves around the world, we understand that there are efforts, this will not happen, of course, but there are efforts, including to shift the attention of the western coalition there of the united states of america to events in other hot spots, for this they are created , including, there will be no such thing, the western coalition, it is strong, at least for today it looks like this, we see the actions of the united states of america

, which go through a certain drama, in them this always happens in the upcoming election races, nevertheless they remain close to ukraine, of course, putin had to be stopped back in 14- year, if we speak frankly, and do not expect any minsk agreements, cease-fires , etc. those countries which at one time they could provide, including additional weapons or technologies, to the military in our country to defeat this enemy, i hope that after these events, with regard to israel, there will be a certain time, this situation, of course, they should join us nearby, and nearby not in some festive hall, but nearby, here mr. serhiy, in this vein i wanted to ask you, mentioning once again

the meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine in the romshtein format, which will be announced on the 10th, yes on october 10 in brussels, these events which already yesterday, this happened in the gas sector, will they have an impact on the mood, on even greater determination of the representatives of 50 countries who will gather on the 10th. well, i will now answer this question, as a ukrainian, of course, i want more determination, of course i want more support, of course i want to hear about the fact that this situation has a really drastic effect, including on our relations, ukrainians with by the western coalition, no matter how it is, where is the gas sector, and where, for example, is our bahmud, but not less, the events are just hard between each other in my opinion. are connected, so we need to act in the same way, i hope that this ramshtan,

and the next ones, they will still be even tougher in reaction to russian actions, this must be done, otherwise we perfectly understand that if we do not stop the enemy, if ukraine does not stop and take action, then i do not want to draw those forecasts that, thank god, will probably not come true, thank you very much mr. serhiy, we will also be optimistic and hope that certain necessary conclusions will be made. serhii bratchuk, spokesman for ukrainian of the volunteer army south, a military expert, was with us, winter is near , and therefore the attacks of the enemy will become more and more insidious and more massive, so now the ukrainian authorities are working with partners to provide the country with additional means of air defense to protect our cities and infrastructure. and some allies have already volunteered to help us. so,

our colleague anna brykova figured out how closed our sky is, and what else should be done. strengthening the shield over the ukrainian sky is a task at the very least before winter. already it is known that by the end of the year, germany will transfer to ukraine one more airsti installation and more than a dozen notable chepard installations, specifically to strengthen the protection of grain corridors that are under daily attack by russian drones. by the end of the year, the armed forces will also receive a new batch of skynex anti-aircraft missile systems from the german concern rain metal, which has promised to hand over six hawk launchers to spain. which she assured within the framework of the third summit of the european political community, and the german government will also work on providing to ukraine, patriot of another system, patriot, and right now for this winter, for this winter period, because russian attacks by missiles and drones on infrastructure are already intensifying and

more are expected, so now the issue of increasing the number of air defense systems is quite acute. we have a strong air defense system, but it is not enough, that is, it is not enough to block all directions, block all the objects that we would very much like to protect, 75%, approximately such a percentage is said today by all those who are there statistics, this is a very high indicator , because no country in the world has experienced such massive and combined regular attacks, the system is already echeloned, says the expert, which means that there are complexes with a long range of medium and small action. ukraine managed to build an integrated air defense system, an automated air defense system, which includes both old soviet complexes, these are the s-300 complexes, buk and received a fairly significant number of western complexes. among them , american patriots are able to impress and

analog daggers, german aristis and norwegian nasam with an american radar. american complexes of the past generation. avenger self-propelled installations, shtormer mobile complexes, the european complex samti, сpada, as well as krotal, skygard, skyneard. in addition, allies from the post-soviet space also transferred their still soviet systems, such as the s-300, osaak, s-125, kubstrila 10 to the ukrainians. today, we are gradually replacing these soviet systems with western systems, both old -style and modern. in addition, we expect f16, f-16 is that. part of the air defense, this is an aircraft that will provide fighter cover. and in general, in the future, ukraine will become part of the unified nato air defense system, so we will gradually modernize to their standards. today , the principle of operation of the system itself is also different, says the expert. if we have radars that catch targets located on the ground, they have them in the sky.

constantly flying, avaxa planes are called flying radars. they observe all movements in the air along the border, they are engaged transfer of targeting to anti-aircraft missile systems and manage the interception and combat actions of fighter planes. against the background of russia's war against ukraine, the nato countries themselves began to improve their defense, for example, in poland , the anti-missile complex at the patriot base has already begun combat duty. and sha was allowed to purchase six more. batteries worth 15 billion dollars. germany is ordering the american-israeli aero-3 complex. they want to strengthen and collectively create another joint anti-aircraft defense system - sky shield, which provides for the joint procurement of pppo for minimum costs with maximum coverage of the territory and in this way to strengthen the nato umbrella, because they did not rely on anti-aircraft missile systems there,

mostly on aviation. belgium, which is preparing to give us a fighter jet, does not exist. i am only for the ar of the army air defense, the netherlands is in a similar situation, denmark is in a similar situation, bulgaria has no western anti-aircraft missile systems there at all, it has only about eight launchers for there is a s-300, well, there are 12 acceptance installations there up to s200, so there is no ideal system that would protect against mass attacks for 100% , experts state, because the same russian federation has more than 3,000 anti-aircraft weapons, mostly ground-based, and drones fly by, so the question is both debatable and individual. we have to work it all out ourselves, just as the americans sit and take notes, yes , it works like this in ukraine, so we also need it, but they also came to the point that they themselves need to keep more on their territory complexes, accordingly, make more launchers, make missiles , well, that is, there is no such model that we

could take, that everything works for this, let's integrate in us, the same ukraine, which is forced to give from. the enemy and defend against russian missiles and drones, is now testing everything by fire, simultaneously improving its own defense with the support of its partners. anna brykova we are ukraine marathon single news. russian troops are trying to resume the offensive in the kupyan direction. this is reported by analysts of the institute for the study of war. however our defenders repelled enemy attacks in the areas of senkivka and ivanivka settlements of kharkiv region. experts are sure. the invaders will not succeed in their attempts. it is worth emphasizing that russia transferred units of the newly created 25th combined arms army to the kupyan direction, however, these units were not supposed to be on the battlefield no earlier than december 2023, so analysts do not rule out that the 25th army may have serious

problems, poor training, lack of personnel and equipment. serhii dibrov, senior lieutenant, head of the communications service with the public of the 21st separate mechanized brigade is now in touch with us. mr. serhiy, good morning to you, congratulations, good morning. mr. serhiu. we want to talk in more detail about the situation in the kupyan direction and here on these, to focus attention on these unsuccessful attempts of the enemy, how frequent are they, and what actions does the enemy resort to? in the last week or so we feel a revival in our area, our area is quite large, our brigade is defending a certain part of it, and we have no attempts at a mass offensive from the enemy it was, however, the neighbors on... that they fully felt what the russians' attempts to attack were like. yesterday, and most likely today, we will have such a forced pause, a forced truce, because the weather, because the weather

is not summer in our country, unmanned aerial vehicles cannot fly in our country, enemy units have no eyes on us, and without air reconnaissance, now there are no the troops are practically not working, neither the artillery, nor the infantry, nor the tankers, they cannot do anything without intelligence from drones, and therefore... this night, for example, it was raining, yesterday it was, it was cloudy, nothing flies, and that's why there is such a comfort, it will most likely be in our entire sector, and in ours and in our neighbors, mr. serhiy, and can i say a few more words about what difficulties await the military in connection with the change in weather conditions , what else will now be impossible to accomplish on the front line? well, in fact, autumn has begun here, that is, finally. last but not least, now and then we felt the coolness, and down to zero and sometimes even down to sub-zero temperatures, the sub-zero temperature drops significantly,

the rains began, which had not been there for a long time, and this means that, after all, there will be fewer opportunities for maneuvers, opportunities for aerial reconnaissance and the opportunity for mass deployment of troops, because it is more difficult to walk in the swamp, and tanks do not drive normally in such weather, as i already said, aerial reconnaissance will not work either, that is, now until the beginning of winter, until the roads become solid again, or the fields become solid again, there is a certain time to strengthen the defenses, or on the contrary, if the enemy does it, to concentrate forces and prepare for some action in the winter, it will be a little the other war, there will be different conditions, there will be no green areas, there will be a different situation with camouflage , but the war will not stop, that is clear, and now we have such an emergency pause for a few days, due to the fact that general osin intervened in the situation and is now influencing himself. ... mr. serhiy, now i will refer to the data of the head of the press service of the eastern group of troops, ilyush, he noted that your colleagues

from the 66th separate mechanized brigade in the lomano-kupyan direction burned, i see, 25 tanks in four days , absolutely some fantastic figures, i wanted to ask you, how actively does the enemy on your side use armored vehicles? well, if we talk about the area of ​​responsibility of our brigade, then we do not observe intensive use of armored vehicles, primarily because this armored vehicle in many cases simply does not have time to get to the line of contact, that is, armored vehicles are close-range weapons, it is several kilometers, there is a maximum of 3-4 km, when it really works, and the depth at... our reconnaissance and certain anti-tank weapons, including unmanned ones, can operate, it is deeper, and therefore any

the enemy's attempt to push the tanks to the contact line, if we see it, if we track it in time, it does not end well for the enemy, besides, it looks like the enemy will change tactics, it will not be like last year, last year, big offensives were made, i call it for myself, wagner tactics, wagner tactics, this is actually a very primitive tactic, and all the talk about the fact that it is the best russian army and so on, this is talk about an army that can afford tens of thousands of shells at first release by a village, for example, and then send thousands of people into a local storm, there is not a single talented activity of warlords , it’s just an army that at one time had unlimited resources could afford such a thing, now it’s like other times, there is no without.. . as they say, the number of bullets, as it used to be, there is no unlimited number of unaccounted for prisoners in the ranks of the armies, and

that is why the russians have to fight... according to science, science says that an offensive without tank troops is impossible, military commanders as always preparing for the last war, so they prepare such armored waders to break through and face the fact that anti -tank weapons in recent years, in recent decades , nevertheless, they have improved, and i hope that this is the improvement that we now feel when we hear such very pleasant news for us, ugh, and mr. sergey, a couple more clarifications regarding the personnel, you mentioned, wagner, i will mention in turn these storm units, which moscow officially says from them, we do not have such, mr. sergiu, v in one of the reuters reports, i read that in fact , here are these units, between them and the stalinist penal battalions, journalists put an equal sign, they say, well, there are not so

many zk anymore, they send as many soldiers who have problems with discipline, or in your opinion such a comparison is correct, well, you can expect anything from our insidious enemy, but psychologists say that there is such a principle, when a person has achieved success in a certain way, with certain methods, he is more than anything else, most likely , he and will try to do the same in the future using these methods, the soviet union once... defeated national germany, at the cost of tens of millions of dead, and it was, well , it is still difficult for me to imagine what happened there, what happened there with such a large number of dead as it was then, but now they , as zhvanetsky once said, they are proud of their losses, and that is why exactly such, such a meaty method of attack and defense, and exactly such a tradition of free kicks and

the tradition of wagner, which we heard about... with blocking squads, with machine guns that stand behind, with snipers who they shoot their soldiers who try to retreat or stop there, this is for them, for the commanders, this is a way of conducting hostilities that once led to victory, as they believe, in the second world war, so they fully assume that such and such methods, exactly such an approach for people they treat people to people are now normal for the russian army, fortunately the ukrainian army is not like that, we have a new, modern but european army, which cannot and does not want to afford such a thing. mr. serhiy, the ukrainian army is not at war with civilians population, as the russian army does, i want to literally ask you briefly about the tragedy that happened in the village of groza , in the kharkiv region, and took the lives of 52 ukrainians, and piskov is the person who sows lies in the information space, he said that they are not shooting at civilian

objects, in fact they ... hit civilians, the investigation is ongoing, there are several versions of what happened, and one of them is what someone from the local people suggested on people, the missile that killed our fellow citizens, you are now on the front line, on the line demarcation, are there many who are waiting for russian peace? we have less than a minute, mr. sergey, from my own observations i can say that there are such people, but there are very few of them and due to... certain circumstances, let me remind you that the front line passed here twice, there was an occupation zone in our direction, and all those who were waiting for russia, they waited, these are people who had the desire to leave, had the opportunity to leave with the russians, with the occupiers, they left, other people evacuated either to the depths of ukraine, or on the contrary went to russia, that is, twice the front line, it clears the brains of people who remain here, and therefore even those who hesitated, those who

may have certain illusions about russia, they got rid of these illusions, unfortunately, many along with their lives, many got rid of these illusions along with their property, housing, this is a very sad situation, but now we see that the vast majority of people who live in the front-line zone are pro-ukrainian , i want to say, thunderstorms, and this is another crime, and it shows that russia will not stop there will be nothing before, we see it it's a pity that people understand only after a tragedy happens, thank you for protecting, for going live , serhiy dibrov, senior lieutenant, head of the public relations service of the 21st separate mechanized brigades further news with vera sverdlyk. i am a russian warship, i suggest you lay down your arms and surrender.
