[000:00:00;00] he took a suicidal step, and if they thought with their heads, and did not receive orders from their sponsors and helmsmen, they would never have dared to do such a thing, the same hesbala can somehow get an order from their sponsors, let's go ahead and go to such the most suicidal kind of offensive, which will cost them a lot, and not the fact that hezbollah will survive, such a sigh, because ... well, well, very determined israel, and the united states of america is determined, well, this has never happened in history, so that they are like that right away stood up for israel, in the history of all these arab-israeli warriors, in fact, if it did join, the united states of america joined in the help, but it was just help, and not immediately, but here and immediately and in fact

ready to go. direct intervention, this, well, was unexpected by many, first of all by our enemies, thank you very much , mr. vadim, thank you for taking the time to get involved, to tell more about the situation in israel, vadim polishchuk, historian, political observer from the city of lot , israel, talked about the israeli war which has been going on for the eighth day, and we actually believe that the tsakhal will be able to complete it with the support of its partners, of course, but on its own it has all the strength and means to clear the gaza sector from the enemy , well, because you know , the gas sector, it’s the same, a little, well, somewhere there approximately, like plus or minus the city of kharkiv, this, again, when, well, very often ukrainians now compare the war in ukraine and the war in israel, as we had, what, where, where, listen, well, a little here, you need to take good moments somewhere, somewhere to see what is good, but let's not forget that our front is

hundreds. kilometers from kherson oblast, well from crimea, kherson oblast ends with azhm oblast, there is chernihiv oblast and so on, well, that is, it is still a front, because there are saboteurs somewhere, it doesn’t matter where we keep the defense forces, well, these are not comparable things, but we believe that israel will be able to close this issue and this desire will disappear in russia, well, they will weaken the assistance of the united states of america to ukraine, they will not weaken it, well, we will talk about it with vitaly portnikov today, and now we will speak with anna daukševych, in lithuanian. she covers the elections in poland, which are to be held tomorrow, and since 2014 she has been covering the war in ukraine. anna, i congratulate you, good day, well, what do they say, what do they say, well, today is a day of silence, i understand that there were no sociological data today, but still, on the eve of a decisive show of will, oh, i speak so loudly , because i had to be loud with the previous guest, i will be a little quieter,

what are the expectations, who is who, why? bets, well, we have to understand, after all, who can come the first in this race, of the two main parties that actually claim to win, it is the civil coalition and law and justice, please, and yes, we all what we see, what the survey showed, then of course it is so today is a quiet day, but yesterday there was a survey and it shows that the party should get a little more right and justice, but if we compare it, we will compare it with what happened in the previous elections, of course, ah, so she won't get such a percentage anymore, she won't get it, and that's it of course, these are already different experts, different polls prove that this will definitely not happen, and this is where the interesting part begins, because

if... well, the polls show that law and justice, they get a little more than 30% of the vote, but with these people, of course, who will come to the elections, but this is not enough , and on the other hand, the platform that tries to return to power after two terms of office, it bets on the fact that there is a confederation, is there a road, a third way, to me it seems that it will be ukrainian that it will then be a coalition, and they will be in power, and i will tell you this way that the tension is very, very high in poland , because when you talk to poles, even more so, to experts, politicians, they

sometimes say that it is a choice, not only... not only the choice of candidates for parliament, which is absolutely a choice for poland, which way it should go , we have all seen the scandals with the european union of poland and, well, the contradiction between poland and the european union, we have seen the same not quite beautiful one, let's put it this way the campaign, when even the question of ukraine was already put in the way the elections, when the disputes with ukraine started over the grain, although we all understand that it is not over the grain, not because of any issues, that it concerns the elections themselves, and well, we just hope that after the elections it will end, but the tension is very very big, because of course there are voters , who always do, of course, this is more relevant to the regions, because

today i went from vilnius to warsaw, and although we are talking about a day of silence, for example, in the regions there are still many, many billboards with representatives , candidates for the parliament from from the party, it's a piece of cake, it's quiet, calm in warsaw, somehow there's not much to see, in warsaw there were even more billboards with candidates, for example, platforms, because these are , of course, slightly different voters, and of course they are trying to advertise it is exactly where it should be, that is why the tension is actually very, very high, and that is why i am from lithuania here , i think that tomorrow there will be many, many journalists from other countries, please tell me, and the expected turnout at the elections, i i just don't know how it is in poland, maybe there is

always a high turnout, in ukraine it's different there have been presidential and parliamentary elections in history, well, in different ways, in different ways, i will tell you that the expected turnout is more or less 60%, this is more or less, when i look, for example, at being a citizen of lithuania, when i myself vote in an election in lithuania, it is more or less normal for our countries, because in lithuania it is also more or less 60%, in the last elections in poland there were also more or less 60% of people , and of course, there is also a referendum in poland right now, a bit strange, i would say, the question there is a bit strange, but it is not expected nothing so extraordinary, that this, even when they say that this is really the choice of poland, will it go the democratic way, or

will it go the way of orban, for example, which, which we have, which also, well, we have a lot of problems, and ukraine, of course, it does even to us in the european union, but somehow, i don’t know, maybe tomorrow it will show, it will show that there will be many more people, but so far the survey shows that it will be ordinary elections, there will be nothing extraordinary about people's activity, and finally, how seriously the ukrainian card was played, whether it remained relevant until the end, the ukrainian question itself, there are refugees, and aid, and grain, and military aid, there were many questions, but all this revolves around ukraine, and how much ukraine has polarized. perhaps the representatives of the left and the right who go, well, actually go after the victory, as they say they go nose to nose, so of course the ukrainian issue was very important, because there are always elections, and there are always

voters who, for example, are dissatisfied, are dissatisfied with the state of affairs in the country and are looking for you know, some kind of enemy, well, an external one, an external enemy, and here there is a part of people who... lie to themselves that neither in poland there, nor in lithuania, in other countries, and there in germany, for example, there are no people there who, i don't know, well, tired of the war or, i don't know, not even supporting ukraine, although there are a small number of them, but they are there, they always happen, and therefore, this is an opportunity for the party, the party, it was pis, to pay attention to itself those people who might not have voted for this particular party, but it was necessary to get a new one map and here is this new map - it was ukraine, of course, when you look at it from the side

, for example, as i look at it from lithuania, it is a little wild for me, because, well, we are all like that, and poland is all and poles, very much support ukraine and play with it, and drag it to the election. and for the election campaign, it was a bit strange, and that's why i don't see that the polish experts themselves, i'm not talking about myself, whether there are experts from ukraine or lithuania, the polish experts themselves say that it's actually was a very dirty campaign because pulled everything possible, even, for example, i don’t know there, some new laws about almost foreign agents, which were more related there, tusk’s party and so on, well, it wasn’t pretty, and the ukrainian issue was very important, but how is it the voting itself will be affected... people, because well, the voters of the sand are also people who support

ukraine, so i think it was a fight for a few percent, maybe, if not less people, but here we are now talking about that every vote is very important, and even there one or fifty voters, it is very much it's important, that's why they pulled out that... card, i think that after the election , a month or two will pass there, and everyone will forget about it, and everyone, even president duda himself, who is yes, also from the pis party, has already tried to reconcile himself this whole situation and say that it is not at all as it seemed, so i just expect that when the elections are over, and maybe after a month or two, we will completely forget about this scandal, because i think that it is scandalously simple. and let's return to

normal, absolutely normal support for ukraine and the normal debate that was before election campaign in poland. thank you very much, anna, anna daukshevych, a lithuanian journalist, she is covering the elections in poland and is currently in warsaw, as far as i understand, in 2014 she is also covering the war in ukraine, and tomorrow there are elections in poland, i actually work again tomorrow as they say, the dawn has broken, and we will talk and we will be included there, tomorrow is from 14 to 16 i will be on the air and we will talk, well, it is really important, but i can already see here, guests, our viewers, who are waiting for vitaly portnikov , i am also from looking forward, in just a few minutes vitaliy will join the ether and answer the main questions, as they say this week, stay with us, we will continue in just a few minutes, when pain stops time, choose afida max with arginine in a package... faster than in tablets, there are discounts on afida

he will also express his opinion, i think that she will explain a lot to you, and if vitaly is already with us, then we will start our conversation, vitaly, congratulations, bad connection, well, now i don't know if it will be possible to improve it, but we will try, by the way, i want to say that the day before yesterday, is it yesterday, no, the day before yesterday, in my opinion, or maybe yesterday, all yesterday was friday, it was friday, yesterday was the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war that russia started against ukraine, well, escalating the war, not starting the war, but escalating the war, actually from crimea and donbas to, there are many. oblasts of ukraine, well, now the war is concentrated in crimea, kherson region, zaporizhzhia, donetsk region, luhansk region, kharkiv region, well, there they are still climbing in sumy region, of course, but sabotage groups are only involved so far, but scaling the war, yesterday was

the first the day when the armed forces of ukraine fired more artillery shells at the enemy than the enemy fired at us, by the way, this is a very important trend, because many people think, well, it happened so easily, no, it did not happen so easily, this is the destruction of enemy warehouses, this is an increase in assistance from our partners , this is the effective use by the armed forces of ukraine of high-precision bombs, with which they destroyed an insane number of enemy artillery installations, we remember that in the southern direction artillery installations were destroyed as many as there are probably not some countries of the north atlantic alliance in europe, this is a huge number, it is not true that gdlsb is there and it is there. projectiles, which are called as the sword of king arthur was called, now i’m out of my head, i’ll say, that is, it all worked, and here, of course , the copters used by the armed forces of ukraine helped, in fact, they significantly weakened the enemy’s artillery power , well, plus we now already have

information about how much north korea transferred to the russian federation, and therefore when they say such a phrase, putin can fight forever, look, again... no one can fight, this is one time, any war, it burns huge money in its mouth, and money in russia, again, is not infinite, because when someone he says, russia can last for 100 years, well, we can fight for anything, we know that, but in principle, in such a big war, russia will not last in this situation anyway, well, it will not last forever, it is also running out of ammunition, there are also some economic restrictions, they are getting stronger , somewhere they update these restrictions, they also influence, i do not believe that poverty will force russians to change anything in their lives, there or ... change their government, but in any case the economic situation may force putin to reduce the war, but again, it is first of all everything is the merit of the armed forces of ukraine, but there is no one’s merit at all, the merit of the armed forces of ukraine, the fact that they quite substantially thinned out the artillery, artillery depots of the enemy, their artillery positions, what they managed to destroy, this story happened, which for the first time since

the beginning full-scale armed invasion ukrainian forces used more shells than the russians. i am a memory. you remember the situation near severdonetsk, lysychansk, there in the spring, summer of last year , and then in the fall, when the ratio was one to 150, for example, shells, well, then somewhere there one to 50, then one to 15 there, i.e. this these were huge gaps, when the enemy burns the ground, and you hit the ground once and think , well, whether it hit or not, this and this became the cause, perhaps... of the losses of the armed forces of ukraine, first of all, of course, and the loss of those or others, well, don't lose, there will be a retreat from these or other cities, because they will stay there, it was just suicide, it's just undermining their own, their personnel. well, this is also important, again, this, this is important , and despite the fact that russia is now almost on its knees , lavrov is asking eran in north korea, in

china, where else is he asking, i don’t know, and shoygush is there also drives, carols around the world , give, give, give shells, and this phrase of the late, beautiful, shayguk, where are the shells, well, hey, where are the shells, it is becoming enough now actual, how it will affect the course of the war, i do not know, but now i will say that the armed forces of ukraine are like this. they could not stop this shaft that was going to avdiivka, we have little information, of course there are friends, colleagues, i also have some correspondence, but now the military is not up to writing reports on the situation, the situation is not easy, the situation is very not easy, such a massive attack that we saw near avdiivka, there was no such intense massive attack using manpower and armored vehicles and aviation, there had not been there since of a full-scale invasion, the enemy really threw all its forces available there at avdiivka, because we know that avdiivka and marinka are

two settlements, one northern, the other more southern, which are actually the gates to donetsk, there is already a question, there is this airport donetsk and so on, spartak, we know that there is also donetsk, and of course the enemy very much wants to push back the armed forces of ukraine by capturing avdiivka or what remains of it, because we see that after the phosphorus attacks and after the airstrikes, after that of all avdiivka turns into a ghost town, just as bakhmut was previously turned into a ghost town, like maryinka was turned into a ghost town, sands, there are many other settlements, unfortunately, the enemy leveled them, not that he leveled them to the ground , and did, just made them the scenery for a horror movie, for a war movie, but definitely not cities, and it is very important for the enemy to push the armed forces out of there, plus it gives them certain certain, certain operational space in order to increase their pressure on seridove and pokrovs. what for them it is also very important, because we know that now the enemy has captured and lost a lot of their soldiers there

, we were talking about 800-900 killed, up to a thousand russians killed in one, in one day of fighting, and of course, they would later regain their strength , if they had some success, but when there is some success, you restore the forces , battalions, brigades, there three or four battalions have generally lost their fighting capacity, 25 - that's a total of 25 troops standing there in them, well, they are trying, they they are trying, but the institute for the study of war is already...' categorically they say that despite the big lash, despite the big rush, again, these are meat assaults, so that we understand, this is what, well, what i read military experts, i know everyone perfectly understands that i was not there, but what i read, and the military write, and experts who evaluate the statements of the military and military-political leadership, which directly, and those generals who directly lead in this direction, they write that this attack of the enemy failed, but the enemy used what the soviet union...' against the germans, i.e. these

to punish, that is, when a large number of people go, and they are followed by these tank attacks, and tank attacks are not thought out , they are not there, this is not gudarian, this is not yodel, this is not the one who was called the fox of the desert in the german , and these are not even soviet generals somewhere there, these are such throws, in an assault, what the enemy used at the beginning of the war and in chernihiv region, in kyiv region, but it did not give results, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed a huge number of enemy armored vehicles, again well, let's not forget that the armed forces of ukraine are also suffering losses in wounded and killed our heroes, we are also losing equipment, but for the enemy it was a key issue to capture the heights there, these terekons and from there already try to control the course of events and reach further, they were climbing on the terekons somewhere there , then they were shot down from there, i saw a video today that was posted in telegram by our... soldiers of russian bodies on these terekons, they climb, well, this is what the mine processed, it folds in perspective into such

terekons, which then harden and stand such the mountains are like that, the mountains, and they wanted to capture it all, of course , the situation with the concubine will continue, but now anecdotes are already being told about enemy assaults, again, if i’m joking somewhere there about winging hawks, and i don’t know , well, there must be something there... such falcons of stalin are modern, and they all moved and it was so very inspired , inspired, such rhetoric was used by the propagandists, then some time passes, and new messages that send us bags for corpses, because they are lacking, but in donetsk they are no, and yesterday, by the way, there was such a long speech by a russian propagandist who talked about the fact that, she says, give bags for corpses, well, she has such a gloomy voice, you can see that she is not in a good mood. avdiivka is not ours, and she says that the food, give us food here, because there is nothing to eat, but she says

give the food sealed, well, in such... closed packages, because she says, you yourself understand, so as not to poison him, i always think, here you are relaying it, yes, that is, you are sitting in the occupied territory, there is a part of this territory, if we talk about what is going on further from avdiyivka to the east, there is donetsk and so on, this is generally the territory that you have controlled since 2014, yes, and who is you, who is supposed to poison you, it is so much that you do not even believe in your safety in those territories that you have been in control for almost 10 years, and you are being poisoned there, by the way, russians are being actively poisoned with vodka in melitopol , our partisans are doing the right thing, the enemy must be beaten with all means and forces, now we will go to the plot, i will drink some water i hope that vitaly portykov will join, but technological problems sometimes, sometimes they make corrections in our, in our ether and in our life, therefore, a sniper is one of the most difficult professions in the war, the elite

of the armed forces of ukraine, the work of a sniper requires exhausting training, the smallest mistake can be the last in life, by the way and saper's. espresso recorded an exclusive interview with such a warrior who has been destroying russians for nine years. and about the intricacies of military service, sniper duels with the occupiers and mistakes that make our defenders targets, see further in our material, please the maidan started, went to the right sector, the beginning of the war was in the right sector, from the summer of the 4th year to the 16th donbass battalion, from the 16th to the 58th brigade, in the 20th or 20th year it went to dembel, after

the expiration there, i don’t remember four or five contracts, well, with the beginning of a full-scale war... i already ended up here in teroo zaporozhye, i had no idea about a military career, i worked as a workshop chief at an enterprise in zaporozhye, and then it went like this - it went from the maidan, in i got to donbass, first i was agasnyk, well, somewhere from the end of the fourteenth year became interested in high-precision shooting, began to learn to read books, plus the guys with whom i served were such good specialists who taught me, well, that’s how it went, i continue to learn to work, already as a sniper, we are interested in telling our viewers what it is like

to be a sniper, that to cook like this? before that, how painstaking and hard work it is, so i would like to start by asking you what skills a professional sniper should have , what should be honed in his behavior, for example, the same, yes, well, probably the main thing is patience, what is work, somehow static yes, you can say, patience, perseverance, attentiveness, do not panic, be constantly collected, well, whatever, and physical training is also important, because you have to walk very much, very far,

very much with heavy loads, well, it all depends on
