ukrainian folk architecture, its features and ways of salvation in a documentary series from the ukrainer roof project, on saturday at 11:15 a.m. at espresso. vitaly portnikov is with you, and we are talking about the main events of this week. vitaly portnikov and top experts about the most vivid events of the last seven days. our guest will be the lieutenant general of the ground forces, ex national security advisor to the president of the united states. donald trump, herbert mcmaster. current topics, pressing questions, authoritative comments and forecasts in the information marathon project with vitaly portnikov, every sunday at 20:10 on espresso. we continue the live broadcast, and as promised, we will now talk with the deputy director of the middle eastern studies center, serhii danilov, about everything that is happening in israel and the gaza strip. it will be recalled that the tsahal declares the beginning of an essentially ground-based war. there are many estimates of how she is

may happen in the near future, among such assessments and the understanding that the brick can get stuck due to the extreme density of buildings and various terrorist and pseudo-military architecture and all other infrastructure now in the gas sector. mr. serhiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the hero, i congratulate you , well, the first such, you know, the first evaluations of what the israeli army is doing, let me remind you that a little earlier they called for the evacuation of the civilian population from the northern districts of the gaza strip. closer to the south, and at the same time, today the washington post states that during the israeli attack on the gaza strip yesterday, friday, dozens of people who were evacuating died on the road, and more than 200 were injured, the ministry of defense reports the health of palestine in the sector... and this

is confirmed by the video, the authenticity of which has now been verified by specialists. as we can see, the emphasis on the problems with the civilian population in the gas sector is shifting a little. mr. serhiy, how do you see the development of the ground operation, will it not happen essentially a dead end for israel itself? i can quote the general staff and the former minister of defense, israel, who said that. well, the most difficult military operations , and well, no one guarantees the result, and especially no one can guarantee how quickly it will pass, and time is the key resource here, the more footage will appear with the killed civilian residents of gaza, children, women, old, young , the more pressure there will be on israel from one side, and the more arguments there will be in the so-called arab street. in order to

to protest in their countries, in order to stir up cairo, jordan, other countries where, regimes that are more likely to be supported by israel, not in words, but really in deeds, here is this key resource, time, how quickly israel will be able to carry out this an operation that i understand is currently being considered by the israel defense forces. to cut the gas sector at the highest point into two separate sectors, concentrating efforts on the northern one, from where most of the sderrod attacks took place, for example, the border town, nashkilo, ours, from where the rockets were launched, and by isolating and depriving hamas of the opportunity to maneuver on the territory of gaza, ugh, mr. sergey, but we see that so far, apart from statements from

israel's neighbors, there is no official information of any such decisions, but mass rallies on the streets have turned into what two or two days, there is actually some kind of movement of people, that is, people from jordan are going to the border with israel, from lebanon after all those mass rallies in support of hamas and palestinian autonomy, they also left, we see footage when people are actually storming the border with israel , but this there are no armed forces of the same jordan or lebanon there, that is, what will this be and how will it end, that is, we can see... footage even when they try to climb over the fences and so on, these are such events, how should they end, will these people be driven away, shot right at the borders of jordan and lebanon? well, those

shots are crossing the lebanese border, they relate to some other period, as far as i understand , the investigators have already explained, but it was one of the tasks of hamas and iran, too , to cause such mass protests so that israel used weapons against peaceful citizens, well, as we can see, in fact, it was not possible to gather any colossal rallies there, everyone was very afraid of what would happen yesterday, on friday, well, since friday is a day, hamas called everyone to go out into the streets and to protest, and start an uprising on the west bank of the jordan river, however, there were no major riots, and the number of people who went to the border in jordan, well, it is not impressive, there are two

goals, in fact, not only to create tension on the border , so that there were shots like peaceful, unarmed, let's say, residents break through the neighboring countries, break through the border with israel, only to destabilize the jordanian regime, so that these people then go out on the streets of the capital, protest, and create an arab, they are a hypocrite if there is such a scenario, but so far, there is no evidence , there is no mass, there is no desire to rebel, obviously, which hamas is counting on, sir. serhiy, the refusal of egypt to actually provide a green humanitarian corridor for those civilians who will leave the gas sector, that this is a rational concern, the infiltration of hamas and terrorists into its territory, is this such

a historical trick towards israel, well, the first is more likely than the second, and there are such urban legends, you know that once , many decades ago, the israeli prime minister offered the egyptian president to turn on the gas, and he said that under no circumstances will i go for it, well, this is a lyric and an urban legend, not a lyric, that there are signs of rapprochement between hamas and the islamic state, which is active, is still active in the sinai peninsula. and the palestinians are accepted by the egyptian authorities, the palestinians from gaza are perceived as people who can destabilize the situation in egypt itself, so whether it is so or not, i do not undertake to judge there, but apparently these are the views

that prevail in the egyptian government, and now only 2000 people per day are allowed, they skip they are trying to let in some women, and people of pensionable, older age, while not letting in men, mr. serhiy, in thanks, a big thank you from hamas, comrade putin, we see that other friends of the kremlin, hezbollah, are also actively talking about the fact that they are ready to join the armed struggle alongside hamas in the gaza sector and not only, this is a pro-lebanese movement, which in principle, as i understand it, is friends not only with the kremlin, the ayatollahs in iran can confirm that they have also been working closely with them for years, plus these actions, statements, khomeini, transfer of equipment, military power in the army of iran closer to

the borders with iraq to the west, do you see that, for example, the same hezbollah can go regardless of the position of lebanon, the same iran can to cross the borders, that is, to actually go by ground operations of some kind the state of israel. yes, of course, this is a possibility. but it is far from 100%, so far hezbollah is taking, well, such symbolic steps , let's say, yes, er, well, it is, well, so that it would be, to tick a box, and it is more frightening than actually entering the war, they are not entered the war, this is provocative shelling and harassing fire, so to speak, they show readiness to join, but they have not joined, they definitely have coordination with hamas, they have a joint headquarters, well, a so-called coordination room, in which they discuss their plans,

there are arguments for the fact that they will enter, this is the pressure, of iran in the first place, but also if they will see a weakened israel, which is tied up in the gas sector, but there are also factors at work that force them to be restrained, this, well, the terrible state of lebanon itself, it was understood that if they enter the war, the blow will be struck, precisely at lebanon, and not at some separate units of the kezbola, they brought lebanon, hezbollah, it was exactly what brought lebanon to bankruptcy, to terrible problems with infrastructure, with water, with electricity, there is a complete collapse, and the beginning war will mean that this country will actually cease to exist.

and this movement that seized the state of lebanon, he can finish it off in this way, and in football they also understand this , well, and me, against whom the lebanese themselves will then fight, that is also a big question, that is why the situation is on the verge, but has not yet arrived, no decision has been made on this point. mr. serhiu. actually, anthony blinken met with netanyahu, met with aabas, well, this is also very important to emphasize, because more and more often, really, something crazy is happening in the world the identification of the terrorist hamas entirely with the palestinians, no, of course, hamas, was elected by the palestinians in the last more or less adequate elections that took place there, and of course they cast their votes. for this force, but nevertheless we cannot talk about the responsibility of the entire

palestinian people for what hamas is doing, i think as a democratic state, we have to emphasize that, that is, blinken, who met with both the representative of israel and the representative of palestine, now he is in saudi arabia, what is the american representative looking for, or what is he offering now to the country... to us in the region, well, several, excuse me, several tasks, obviously facing blinken, the first is to convince israel to limit gas, this is an extremely difficult task, in itself, it is not necessary to expand the fronts, but to narrow them as much as possible, to minimize the military operation, to prevent any use of violence in the gas sector by the israeli army, this is the first thing

that blinkin talked about in israel, in addition to what was agreed on what types of weapons and munitions they will still need, and what more american presence in the eastern mediterranean will be desirable, in case the others, that is, hezbollah, goes to war, and the message that was given to hezbollah was very simple, you will ... fight not only or even not so much with the israel defense forces, but with the united states, and two carrier groups, plus a marine brigade heading there, from bahrain, they're going to finish you off, and on the other hand, blinkin is trying to send a signal to allies and partners in the middle east that abraham's covenant must stand and that joint plan that was announced by saudi arabia.

israel, the palestinian authority, the united states, the project of establishing relations between israel and saudi arabia must be carried out, and at the same time, meeting with zabas, it was emphasized that, well, the task, let's imagine, israel is carrying out the task of dismantling the power of hamas in the gas sector , and what should be there after. at least now, at the level of rhetoric, he does not declare a desire to restore the occupation regime there. mr. serhiy, we are running out of time, but i can't wait for you could you explain to us for half a minute, these statements of the very rich state of qatar, the one that also finances many of them, including hamas, this statement that if you do not stop the operation in the gas sector, we will cut off the gas supply to the whole world, well have you heard this

statement, is this again air shaking, are these real threats, this is unprecedented for. from 17 to 21, qatar was under blockade from its neighbors, saudi arabia, and the united arab emirates, and there was even talk of a possible military operation against qatar, and even then qatar did not stop supplying gas to emirates, and this is an unprecedented statement, i was just shocked when i heard it, it's not for nothing, certainly qatar is a full and first partner of the muslim brothers, one of the abominations that is hamas, it's not for nothing that israel has now banned al jazeera, which in every way supports, uh, well, i hope that it will not lead to such a large-scale destabilization of the liquefied gas market, because qatar is one of

the most important in this market. thank you, mr. sergey, serhiy danilov, deputy director of the middle eastern studies center, was with us on the communication about the situation in the middle east, a short pause on the air, after which we move on to military analytics in our country. when civilization is wiped out by a pandemic, a teenage girl may be humanity's last hope. watch the hbo series that took the world by storm. the last of us, exclusively in the meogo subscription. aquaders care. moisturizes, protects and cares for your skin at any age. aquader - support and protection of your skin. no matter what ukrainians think about, no matter what they talk about, war still comes first. the war is ours

about ours. this is about roots, about identity, this child built, behind us, my great-great-grandfathers, a house, about what old ukrainian architecture brings to us, today, good architecture is not necessarily made with the participation of an architect. churches, mills, huts, mazankas, depends on us, will these buildings slowly fade into oblivion? the wooden church is a phenomenon, indeed, but it is still alive in the ukrainian village. and yet we will preserve our past. there is legislation, why doesn't it work, we have a democracy where people do what they want. about ukrainian folk architecture, its features and ways of salvation in a documentary series from the ukrainer project of the attic. on saturday at 11:15 at espresso. and we

continue the live broadcast on tv channel. thank you for being with us, with us in e. at the end of this hour, oleksiy heitman, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war and a reserve major of the national guard of ukraine. mr. oleksiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, good morning. there is an understanding that the enemy continues its attacks, although some analysts already call them, well, unsuccessful in terms of system, in the avdiyivka area, they are also pressing in the kupyansk direction, there are different opinions as to why they are resorting to this, trying to distract the defense forces from others directions, dips in the bakhmut district, including, and in the south, how does the contact line look in general in your eyes now, well, if odiivski brothers directly, business... the last few days, that is where they tried to attack avdiivka from the north and south , to encircle this city, to surround our troops there, to date

they have not succeeded, although there was a non-existent advance in the south , they used firestorm tactics, that is, they did , well, turned this city into ruins, as they had already done with lisichansk, with severodonetsk, with bakhmut, with papasna. that is, the tactics are not new, the only thing that has changed a little is the effort to sharpen from the flanks not to fight head-on, as was the case near bakhmut, well, there were vagneri people, there were ex-prisoners, they were wanted for doing no harm, that is why they were thrown like that, well, we remember, for every 42 cm in bakhmut there was one life of a russian serviceman was put on the line, now, according to the analysis, well, the same one from the study of the war, he comes to the conclusion that in the grand scheme of things it was an unwillingness to advance fundamentally somewhere, well, deep into our country, to break through the front line or something else

like that military actions, it was, there was a desire to bind our troops in battle, in order to so that we stop additional forces there, or could we gather forces from there to the north , in another direction, where we continue offensive actions, for today... the day tactics of a barrage of fire, taking into account their number, well, at least the shells in this area, do not allow they should do this, as was the case in lisichanskyi , north-donetsk, for several weeks there. this volley of fire, such a number of shots, they concentrated a large number of artillery systems on a relatively large area of ​​the front, pulled a large number of outfits, but at most 3-4 days could be enough for them to do this, they were bombarded with rockets, shells, the air force attacked, now, judging by what is happening there, the number of shots should decrease, but the attempts to attack, i

am sure, will not stop, on the other hand , the people who are there, the intelligence, say that they used all the reserves they had in this direction, and in order for them to continue, well, try to advance powerfully, or there, try to advance at all, they need some reserves , there are no such reserves inside the russian federation to strengthen offensive actions, not in manpower, not in equipment, so if there is any strengthening , it will only be due to the fact that they will move something along the front line, somewhere they will remove another army from some direction there and transfer it there, this is their only chance to try to intensify offensive actions there, well, there is contradictory information about what is happening directly in avdiivka, there are two such important objects, which the russians have said several times that they control them, then they found out that this is not true, it is a chemical factory, and there is also a tericon, like that

the total height is so high, how important is the coke chemical plant, it is built there, well, like a fortress, the walls are very strong there , it is possible, well, some of them have been left behind, that is , you can keep defenses there, underground underground communications are extensive there, so far there is no accurate information, that this factory is not controlled. no, and the same about tyricon the great, there is one tericon, talks about the fact that the russians sometimes control, sometimes they do not control, in general, such a situation is not completely clear there, but to believe that the russians will be able to advance powerfully in the future, such, well, they don't have anymore forces and means for this, and we did not have to transfer a significant force of our reserve there, it was enough to hold the defense and not allow the enemy to advance, but this is thanks to the really, well, great self-sacrifice of ours. of the military, well, and before, and this is also connected with the fact that we were preparing, we knew that there would be such an attack, the concentration of wax near odeivka, we did not miss it, our intelligence knew this

, we even knew that they would try to attack on the flank, because the flanks were fortified, and besides, the samayivka has been turned into a fortress for many years, there among other things there are points of visual observation, there is video surveillance, well, there are surveillance cameras. places and we see where, how the enemy, well, hidden cameras and we see where, how the enemy moves, when he started, mr. oleksiy, there are many parallels that are very terribly reminiscent of the second world war, and this is the last week, how they zhukovsky's front-line attacks, or the attacks themselves with a large number of tanks and manpower , all of this is also reminiscent of the pages of the second world war, well, do you remember when hitler shouted that we are about to take britain, because we have a wonder waffle, super wonder weapon, and that's yesterday. history repeats itself, we have repeatedly seen interesting cartoons that putin showed about some superweapons, now they are talking about a nuclear missile, a fighter that can fly, and so on.

forever and hit targets anywhere on the planet earth, well, these are yesterday's statements of the dictator putin, what do you say about this wunderwaffle borivesnyk, well, finishing the story, so far the russians have lost two motorized rifle regiments there during these times, these are great losses even for russia, which borivesnyk dockets, well, rocket photos, what were these rockets, it is very similar on kha-101, how they pushed there. a reactor is hard to say, it’s such a rocket in order to, well, what is a nuclear rocket, it just stands still, there is a nuclear reactor that should produce heat, well, how about ships with nuclear powered ships and thanks to the heat it transforms, or well, into the energy that can move the rocket in different ways , so that we don't go too deep, the fact is that this reactor needs to be cooled, if it

is cooled... with water, how is the reactor made, then this, it's not a rocket, it's already flying i don't know what, yes, it will be very heavy if you cool it with air , well, that's also possible, but then it has to work very high, almost at a critical temperature, on the verge of starting a chain reaction, well, then it will melt this temperature all the body and everything that is there, well, it’s hard to say, it’s very similar to a lie, because what is this ... the americans tried to make a missile with a nuclear engine back in the 90s, then they gave up on it, because it is no, it's completely inappropriate, it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, it's not real it can be done, but it definitely cannot be baked into the body of the k101 missile, and most importantly, why is it needed, we are talking about a winged, winged missile, it is not fast, if it was really possible to install a nuclear reactor there, then it will be even less fast and

less manoeuvrable, why bother to fly a rocket at a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, before that there are ballistic missiles that fly at a speed of not 300, there 200 m per second, but 8 km per second, that is, with space, with the first, with the second cosmic speed, that's why it's such a racket she can fly for a long time, well, she, for example, maybe, god, they will try, if she exists, to launch her to the united states, she will fly there for 10 hours in the summer, well, in 10 hours she can even be caught there, what to do with her. yes, actually, when, when, i heard this statement , i remembered, i just have a child who loves this song terribly, the croatian band from the eurovision song contest, a little vile psychopath, this dude who threatens the whole world with missiles. mr. oleksiy, literally a minute remains, i cannot appreciate the attention, for the second time in a few days, strength the defense of ukraine waited for pavel derzhavin, this is a patrol ship, a patrol ship, but a patrol ship means that there is a desire to blind the enemy in

a certain area in the equator, that's right, we have one minute, this, this is a modern ship, it is in the 19- in the year it was launched on, well, it was just built, it was, there was talk that it blew up on its own mines or on some, yes, this is a modern ship, let ’s face it, well, it can’t blow up so easily on modern, ordinary mines , because there are certain means that have it from this to protect, because otherwise there would be no point in building such a ship, i am sure that about the other ship, the missile carrier, our security service has already said that it was ours they are working on, well yes, well, and about this, well, i am sure that this, this our surface drones, well, it can't be any other way, well, how he himself, well, you know, well , beyond the limits of healthy ridicule, he broke down on his own, she drowned, yes, well, he, he just blew up, well, uh, ok, thank you, we will understand that this is our work, but you can only laugh at the comments of the russians,

thank you, oleksii hetman. a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, a reserve major of the national guard of ukraine was in touch with us, it is 9 o'clock in the morning and the daily minute of silence for all dead ukrainians in the russian-ukrainian war. let's honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia with a moment of silence.
