responsibility for the territory of gaza if a comprehensive political solution can be reached. in turkey, the participants of the pro-palestinian rally tried to escape to the us air base, this happened in the city of adana, local media reported. according to their data, the participants of the action protested against israel's actions in gas and its support from the united states. for security reasons, the law enforcement officers closed the door streets and avenues around the base, and protesters were allowed to hold an action in a specially designated city. however, soon a convoy of several thousand people approached the air base and separate groups of people tried to enter its territory. to disperse the attackers, the security forces had to use tear gas canisters and water cannons. the number of victims of the earthquake in nepal has increased to 158. almost

200 more people are injured. such data were made public by the country's police. the department noted that the number of dead could be much higher, because many of the destructions occurred in distant mountain settlements. contact with them was cut off. due to the elements. let me remind you that a powerful earthquake occurred in several areas of nepal on friday night. according to experts, the magnitude of the aftershocks ranged from six to 6.4 points. the search for the victims continues, because of the stone-covered roads, rescuers and law enforcement officers have to walk to the settlements. mace launched. the ministry of defense of russia reported. about the allegedly successful test of its intercontinental ballistic missile, launched in the white sea from a submarine, emperor alexander ii. the mace traveled thousands of kilometers and hit the target on the kamchatka peninsula. according to a press release

posted a similar glow in april. this is how this day was in the presentation of the news team, i will wait for you tomorrow at 2 p.m., read more about current affairs on our website espresso tv, my colleagues work for you 24/7, also subscribe to the espresso pages in social networks i wish you a pleasant evening in the company of

vitaly portnikov, he will continue eterpress. greetings, friends, and we continue our informative evening on the espresso tv channel, now under the brand of our traditional political club, where we will discuss with experts the main events of this week, prospects, what happened, of course already today, our first interlocutor is oleksandr khara, a diplomat, expert of the defense strategy center on foreign and security policy, greetings, mr. oleksandr, good evening. sir vitaliy, come on, let's start with this tragedy that happened in the 128th brigade , first of all, i want to sincerely express my condolences to the relatives and friends of the victims, this is really a great tragedy for our armed forces, for our country, but what conclusions should be drawn from of this tragic incident, well, you know, when something like this happened to our enemies, we made fun of them, that they actually got stuck in a bag somewhere, that these ceremonial eyes, other things, are lost, and it’s a pity that we are actually on the same

mine came, and of course it is a great tragedy, because every life of every ukrainian, in unison, this is a great loss, of course, that conclusions must be drawn, that it is necessary to move away from such things, once a certain number of people accumulates in one place, i understand that this is difficult to avoid in in other cases, well, but certainly not in order to receive some awards, people put their lives at risk. let's talk about what is happening now in crimea, i mean the missile attack on the zatoka shipyard, in principle, how do you think that, by and large , the ukrainian armed forces have a chance to undermine the capabilities of the black sea fleet of the russian federation to such an extent that it was not a threat to the black sea. of course, we actually see this strategy, it did not start today and an important step was the liberation of the snake island.

then torkhankut, then the actual strikes on the russian federation's air defense systems, and it is clear that this is part of the plan to liberate crimea, this is the first, and as a side effect, what we tell our international partners, look, these caliber nations, submarines, boats and ships, they are a threat to us, because they kill us, but in principle they were built in order to actually terrorize the free world, primarily europeans, and in fact, the more we have the opportunity to destroy the aggressive potential... of the russian federation, the better . it is very good that our western partners are helping us in terms of anti-ship missiles there, and other things, but i believe that this help should be much more, because you know, here the issue is only in the black sea region. let's imagine for ourselves, what we have achieved is to beat and destroy the most combat-ready, or all the carriers, that is, of these calibers. this means that russia is under sanctions, export controls and limited resources.

should begin to restore the black sea fleet and for a while, while she refuses, restores the black sea fleet , they would have to try, at least to transfer something to the black sea from other ports, i understand that there is a convention of montriot and through the straits they cannot do this, but they can pull missile boats here with a volgodon, and of course, that's good in the long run the destruction of the black sea fleet would be good for the baltic region, and for the arctic and the far east, and do you think that they will do this? that they will replenish the ships of the black sea fleet, of course, since, by and large, in the 14th year , when the illegal annexation of crimea took place, then naoto did something...' which did, well, i think it was a strategic mistake, they began to strengthen the baltic, on the baltic direction its presence and ground and patrolling and other, but in fact the black sea remained unattended, and russia invested all these years from 14th to 22nd in the militarization of crimea, the construction

of a modern fleet, it is extremely important for them, because, by and large, this is the underbelly of the russian federation, there is no such infrastructure here, so to speak. outside the borders of the internationally recognized territory of ukraine, be it in the sea of ​​azov or there , on the black sea coast of the russian federation, they do not have enough power and resources to, let's say, meet the conditional threats that the russians have in mind , what nato countries are part of them, that is, it is an important thing, they transport a large amount of oil to the black seas, the largest amount that goes there to europe, other things, they transport stolen and non-stolen grain from the black sea ports. of course, for all reasons, and most importantly, you know that putin, he has a flawed understanding, he does not care about the well-being of his own state and citizens, or rather his subjects, it is very important for him to play geopolitical games, and without the black sea fleet it is impossible to do in

syria, libya, in the sahel region, and so on threaten nato countries in the mediterranean. therefore, it will be for them. they will spend as much money as they want to strengthen their black sea fleet, and there are such opportunities, do you think, they have in terms of money and building ships, again, if you know, yes, yes, please, well, sorry, i am a simple anecdote, about the fact that the price of vodka has risen, and the son says, you will drink less according to dad, he says, no, you will eat less, i mean, what if ukrainian missiles can reach two ship repair plants, in cream and sevastopol and karcha. then by and large this means that there is simply nowhere to hide and nowhere to repair the damaged ship. yes, of course, of course they can get into their own territory, but i think that after some time we will be able to strike there, of course, it will not be british and french missiles, but ukrainian drones and ukrainian missiles

can easily, it's not easy, but they will definitely do it, because we have a strategic task, since crimea is the essence of this war without... crimea and there should be no meaning for putin will continue the war, he will need, needs a pause. i'm not talking about diplomacy, i'm talking about the fact that from the point of view of resources, he will need a pause, that's exactly why, and they can't give up such sturdy ships, because they are a great power, and even consider themselves a great maritime power, and therefore they should be present in other regions, but they do not need all these ships in order to protect their logical and legitimate interests in the black sea, no. this is solely for projecting your own power beyond the boundaries black sea region. that is, you mean that a de facto pause can occur if ukraine, what will it do, establish operational control over crimea, or enter the territory of the peninsula? well, if nothing is going to hit us from crimea, i mean, first of all, that means

iskander and others, then of course, what is the reduction of aggressive potential, it will prepare putin for other things, of course, there will be other means , here, but we see that quite successfully, our military is destroying the pppo system, that's why after a certain time, crimea will be vulnerable and even without the entry of the ukrainian military into it, it will be dangerous for all these occupiers to be there, and then there will be a completely new reality, or has a new reality appeared in connection with all these recent publications, mr. oleksandr, at least for the event , how will all this be used to solve the issue of ukrainian aid, well, you know, the new political reality in ukraine, when in fact the president's office and the president are complaining about the chief military officer, who fulfills those tasks with the resources he has, and what he outlined in this, in this article is great, it is actually a signal to our

western partners that it is necessary to do something differently than before, that is, so that ukraine gets a technological advantage, so that not by force means... our fighters, but by the force of mind and technology, we could avoid , as it was written, by the way, here is a very important point, they blamed the industrious butcimto, he said that it was a deaf hill, there was no such thing in the article, he said in order to avoid a positional war, and these are different things, i understand that we, we are playing with words, yes, by and large it is clear that the words impasse are exactly what our non-friends, or those who are tired of the ukrainian war, would like, in order to to say, well, look, it was given to the ukrainians, and they can't do anything, here, but by and large, this is an honest analysis that should encourage our partners, and above all, of course, the american ones, on the eve of the elections, i think it will be positive thing, if ukraine gets what it needs and will show, shall we say, a tangible result. well, by the way, if we're talking about our

partners, let's figure out which security option is more realistic for us. you and i have been talking about the need to join nato all these years, and we talked about it even before the great war, and here, i think our audience remembers well that we always said that nato is a real opportunity to stop any what power attempts, uh, destruction of ukraine, but when it comes to some other models, how much for ukraine the israeli model may be acceptable, that is, the army, which will not yield to the russian one, will always be able to give a decent rebuff, and in this way, the very attack of russia can be excluded, from the point of view of the large losses that russia will suffer, this is, in principle, the model of israeli-american cooperation , to what extent such a model can be a replacement for nato, if we are not admitted to nato, by no means, since we know that israel does not have nuclear weapons, but it can use them, this is the first, second point, these armed forces

have been supported for decades, technologies, and well, actually by the transfer of weapons, and that is why there is a great potential, and for israel there are no restrictions on where they will strike, they strike at russian or iranian infrastructure in syria, they can strike at neighboring states, from where, let's say , there is... a threat, in the case of ukraine, i do not believe that in the agreement, which our authorities call security guarantees, and i really do not like this name, because in the document of the group of seven, where it was stated that we will be helped and will to sign such bilateral multilateral treaties, there it was about assurances and agreements, and we repeat in fact , at least rhetorically, the budapest memorandum, where guarantees were written in ukrainian and assurances in english, that is, i would like to use guarantees of providing security assistance, then it would be correct, fair to the citizens

, well, in essence, that is why i do not absolutely believe that this is not a guarantee of security, even the best written text, because no one will fight for us or fight with us against the russian federation, since the nuclear factor is nowhere to be found will not happen even after, i hope, this war ends with a victory and the russian federation will not be able to pose a threat to us for a certain time. to do something like that, so if we're talking about real security guarantees, then international, i mean , of course, that it's nato membership, it can be a similar treaty that there is, for example, with japan, when the united states, they have nuclear umbrella over japan, and actually in the case of a conflict around taiwan, exactly the american military from akin, and from south korea, there from uam, they will immediately begin to defend in that including its japanese ally, here in our case. we don't see such a thing, we don't see the appetite in this administration and of course we look with horror at those who can

be the next president of the united states, but if we are talking about real things, well , that is our wish, it may or may not come true, i i mean joining nato, there or some such powerful agreements on security assistance, of course, that first of all we have to rely on our own forces, and then on our closest partners, we saw that special relations with poland and the understanding of poland by the russian federation, it played an extremely important role, especially in the early days of the second in the 14th year , they were on our side and helped us. of course, we have to build special relations with germany, as the engine and heart of the european union, but of course they have their own problems, their own nuances and even more so. that we we do not know the form the european union will take in the near future, because no one is talking about it, they are talking about

expansion, but actually, how the decision will be made, and here the ukrainian factor is also important, in fact, with such a large population, ukraine, not being , actually there to meet high membership criteria, it will receive a large number of votes in european structures, of course, what do they think about it, we are not told about it, but they think that, of course, it can be a certain, certain threat to the integrity of the european union, that is, i am talking about that we have to strive for this, but in reality there are realities, that is exactly why there is no alternative to join nato, not in parts , you know, at one time there were, so the germans talked with the americans after, well, in fact , when they made the decision to withdraw gerbachev this contingent of ours is from the german state republic, and the germans wanted

to please the russians . in nato, or well, there is simply no other option, and therefore all these ideas that let ukraine give up part of its territories, but we will take it to nato, this is from lukav for many reasons, and from the point of view that security cannot be divided, and from the point of view that we will still not be welcomed there, understanding that the potential for conflict... is not resolved, and i don't think that anyone in ukraine, starting with the president, he said this to the ukrainian citizens believe that that we can provide ourselves with territorial concessions peace, absolutely not, of course, which is very good that there is such an understanding among the population, among our fellow citizens, experts and our authorities. thank you, mr. oleksandr, oleksandr khara, diplomat, center for defense

strategies on foreign and security policy, we discussed with mr. oleksandr, the events that have already taken place on the 620th day of the war between russia and ukraine, in the war in the middle east, the 30th day, and we will now talk about it with mykhailo polivert, an israeli political scientist, greetings, mr. mykhailo, good evening, welcome, so, let's start with this message, which just a few minutes ago appeared on the news feeds, the message of the press service of the israel defense forces, that the israeli army has taken the city of gaza under siege and may enter the city against... within the next 48 hours, what does it mean? how will the operation develop further? well, you know, i am not a military expert, but at the same time it is quite clear that what today is the israeli security forces, the army, and not only the army, by the way, yes, and the so-called internal security service, which is very involved in the ongoing gas sector, they are trying to divide this sector into two

conditional parts , the northern part and the southern part, eh, in the northern part of the gas sector, there are much more underground tunnels, much more military facilities, hamas, eh, but on the other hand , there was a very, very densely populated place, so the last week, the israeli army is calling on all residents of gaza to go to the south, where, in principle, some acceptable humanitarian conditions are provided. apparently , this first stage is now complete and i am i assume that this week, well, starting this week, we will observe much less air strikes and much more ground operations, because it is already clear, and for this you do not need to be a military expert, that will destroy all that underground gas that exists, and it's simply incredible, but

there is 2 km of gas above every square kilometer above ground. of tunnels, these are incredible numbers, and apparently it is simply impossible to do this from the air, despite the fact that in recent days we have seen very deep tunnels, apparently they are using some incredibly heavy and powerful bombs, but at the same time, as in mathematics, you know, we write one gas two in the mind, today we have no less attention focused on what is happening in the north, and apparently we will not only be there, i i cautiously assume that in the near future... we will not only react to what is happening, but also initiate some things, because i can tell you with a high degree of certainty that israel will not be able to complete these military actions without hizballah not, kak at least, at the very least, it did not move

almost all of its military facilities and forces , the northern, so-called... it is about 20 km from our border, thereby providing some kind of buffer zone, which is not there at all today. and in general, do you think that something threatens from the point of view of the expansion of the fronts, because everyone expected that there could be such a probability of a second front, in the north, but after the speech of the leader of hezbollah hassan, we saw that he was particularly enthusiastic about harnessing in some great war on the side there is no hamas. well, you know, i would not underestimate hassan nasrallah, by the way, he is not only the political leader of hezbollah, he is also seyid, seyid, the so-called descendant of the prophet muhammad through his daughter, through his grandchildren, and he also has a certain religious status , and his statement, his speech,
