13 km southeast of kherson. in addition, they had partial success in this direction 30 km from the regional center in the forest areas south of krynyk, where heavy fighting continues. as the spokeswoman of the defense forces reported in the afternoon, natali gumenyuk veteri espresso, the russians sense the approach of the ukrainian army, so they began to mine the territories even more actively. this is the second third chalon. naborons, which are equipped with reinforced concrete structures, and they are mined very densely and powerfully, in large areas, in large groups, they are mined not only critical infrastructure objects, but also simply places where the advance of defense forces is possible, and this is their potential, which they have a lot of it now and they use it, but we realize it, we understand it, we continue

without stopping the fight for a single minute, we continue to hope that our partners will support us and provide us with exactly the weapons we need, which i spoke about, and we will be able to very quickly knock out the nominated fields that they have prepared, meanwhile, 8 settlements in zaporozhye were shelled the russians launched nine drones in one day along the railway, charming lukivskyi and maly shcherbaki. gulyaipol, novoandriivka, poltava, levadny and other front-line towns and villages were fired with artillery 76 times , the head of the region, yurii malashko, informs. in the region was destroyed... private houses and farm buildings. and again a harvest day. our defenders mowed down another 100 russian invaders, and in total, almost 312 invaders have been eliminated by the zsu since the start of the full-scale invasion. the armed forces were also worried about

the enemy's equipment, just yesterday they disabled seven tanks, 32 armored combat vehicles and the same number of mzokovite artillery systems. in addition, two were turned into scrap. systems of volley fire, 28 units of automobiles and special equipment and pppo systems of the occupiers. more 12 enemy drones and one cruise missile will never fly in the ukrainian sky. the general staff reminds that all data are approximate. and to operational information from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. 80 combat clashes took place on the front of the last day. our soldiers are successful. repulsed 22 enemy attacks in the mariinsky direction. on bakhmutskyi , the ukrainians continue their assaults, inflicting heavy losses on the muscovites. in particular, in the districts of klishchiivka, khromovoy and andriivka, the defense forces repelled 10 russian attacks. 11 more repelled near ugledar, in the mining

direction. in zaporizhzhia, the invaders unsuccessfully tried to storm near the robot. the hottest so far is near avdiivka. there, the occupiers 18 times ... our positions, however, the armed forces gave a decent repulse and continue to inflict damage on the body of the russians in the melitopol and kherson directions. yesterday, the ukrainian aviation carried out 10 strikes on the concentration areas of the occupiers, and rocket launchers and artillerymen hit two enemy artillery pieces, eight personnel concentration areas, and also destroyed pppo muscovites it flies for up to 4 hours, has a communication channel of almost a hundred kilometers and is able to perform tasks under the influence of radio-electronic interference. the new lelek reconnaissance drone was presented in dnipropetrovsk region. this is a modified version of leleka 100, which has been used by the defense forces of ukraine for the past year in the hottest areas of the front. unlike

the basic version, the new one will be manufactured in the czech republic for safety reasons. the ptashka will enter service with the armed forces in about a month after testing and licensing. see more in the story. the instructors deploy the leleka lr unmanned aircraft complex in less than 10 minutes and immediately lay out the route of the demonstration flight. the entire mechanization is being checked, that is, it is checked whether the autopilot works correctly, whether all the steering surfaces are moving, whether it responds correctly to evolutions, there the autopilot must constantly stabilize the aircraft. the bird is lifted into the sky with the help of a special structure. the modified stork weighs more than 8 k. so it is difficult to launch it by hand. the intelligence apparatus can be located in air for up to four hours.

the range of the communication channel is up to 90 km, the guaranteed length of the route is 240 km, the maximum height is 2000 m. the main pain point of all ukrainian bepak operators who participate, who are fighting, is the ability to perform the task under the influence of the means of setting radio-electronic jams, the so -called rep means , that is, it is in this complex that all the know-how, all the novelties, all the goodies that help to do this are collected , the new model is manufactured and assembled in the czech republic for safety, and it is being tested in our country, here it is also undergoing licensing, and the training center for bpp operators continues to operate in ukraine, and since may of this year , the head office has been certified. state aviation of ukraine. we needed to expand the staff several times, we expanded it, got many training complexes , and at this stage, from the first of may to the present, we have already trained about 750 people, that is, we have a throughput capacity of

45-50 people per month one course a course on training for flying such an aircraft lasts a month. if a serviceman already knows how to operate the stork 100, it will take only one and a half weeks to master the updated complex. compared to the drone on which we used to work, this drone is equipped with better software, it is more convenient, training for this type of bpak is faster, and pilots and operators, well, it is more convenient to use this drone, to use the stork lr can be compatible with artillery and multiple rocket systems of the type hymars to confirm hitting the target. also, communication channels on non-standard frequencies allow working together with other bpps. in the near future , the aircraft is planned to be supplied to nato countries, but now the production is focused on the needs

of the armed forces, on the armament of the ukrainian defenders, it will be made in about a month, from dnipropetrovsk region for the espresso tv channel. the next edition is already at 11, read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, put your favorites, my colleagues will continue, no switch, stay with the espresso team. greetings, dear tv viewers, on the air of the tv channel, the program studio zahid, we will analyze the most important events of this week and, in particular, we will try to predict what the meeting between president joseph biden and the president will bring, which will take place in just a couple of days, and in particular, also me i am personally interested in why putin suddenly neither sat down nor fell down, went

to kazakhstan, matthew bryza and general alnur musaev talk about this and other things on our broadcast. our first guest is matthew bryza, an ex-advisor secretary of state of the united states, former director of european and eurasian affairs at the us national security council. i congratulate you, dear mr. ambassador, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. well, the key question is what is happening now in the united states regarding money for ukraine, we understand that there were several versions. the latest events are the democrats blocking the republicans if they do not support the combination of two aid packages for ukraine and the state of israel. i think that everything is not so bad. it is no secret that the number of republicans is growing opposes any military aid to ukraine or any other country.

and yet they are a minority in the party, the democrats did the right thing tactically in this situation, because they know that far right republicans, especially evangelical christians, want to help israel, and many of them would rather help israel than ukraine, so the democrats are wise to push aid to ukraine, and this aid will definitely reach ukraine, this is just a short-term political struggle that takes place in washington, but which ultimately does not will lead to the fact that ukraine will not receive anything, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general valery zaluzhnyi, published certain theses in the economist, yes, well, rather , we see the key problem, this is the problem of resources and the issue of strategic weapons, which could change the current situation in the war in our favor, we understand that our enemy has extremely large resources, we are talking about military resources, we are talking about

financial resources and about technological resources, we need accordingly relevant support i certainly agree with you that president putin is betting that he can reorient the entire russian economy to sustained arms production while the united states and its european allies continue to provide. the weapons you mentioned are both tactically and strategically important to ukraine. we should look at how successful ukraine has been recently. even if general zaluzhnyi talks about a stalemate, to which we will now return, even though there was no great land progress. i mean, since the beginning of the counteroffensive, ukraine managed to win back only 17. but in the black sea , the situation is much more positive for

ukraine. we will return to all this. what i 'm trying to say is that the more accurate, longer-range weapons that the united states and other allies are now providing to ukraine are having a powerful effect on the degradation of russia's naval capabilities, and that's really important. however, over time, some people start to get tired. providing billions and billions of dollars to ukraine or any other country. this is one of the key reasons why it is so important that ukraine continues to achieve. on the battlefield dear mr. ambassador brazya, well, in any case, you know extremely well how the american political and military establishment thinks. as the pentagon thinks, as the white house thinks, we understand that general zaluzhny actually sent an extremely powerful message, an extremely powerful signal. i think that some of the american generals

read it correctly. i think there are a lot of national security advisers in the white house as well. they were read correctly, but everything will still depend on the people who will put their signatures, this is the president of the united states, this is the head of the congress, if of course the congressmen vote, so the issue of strategic targeted aid to ukraine in order to change the course of the war. that's right, the american military establishment at the same time understands the deep strategic interests of the united states. it is important not just not to lose, but actually to defeat russia. here you can talk about what it means to defeat russia, and the vast majority of members of congress of the united states agrees with this. the problem lies in us domestic politics. many american voters do not really understand what is happening in ukraine. they 've been hearing about it for almost two years now, and now

there's a new problem with israel, so they 're tired of the war in general. is this why president biden was so determined to withdraw american troops from afghanistan a few years ago? that's why congressional leaders, especially senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, r-kintucka, strongly urge the united states to continue supporting ukraine, and he finds support in the majority of high-ranking officials in the us congress. however, there is a cohort of eight republicans who are trying to get voters' attention and shift the country's attention to themselves by speaking out. if possible, the united states should stop supporting ukraine. what worries me a little more now than when we last spoke with you is the new speaker of the house of representatives. at that time, we predicted that, from the point of view of helping ukraine, a lot would depend on who would become the next speaker of the house of representatives of the us congress.

that of the two potential candidates, one strongly supports aid to ukraine, and the other - no, that's right, neither of them was elected. whoever is elected is a big supporter of president trump, and president trump, as we know, wants an immediate end to the war, and he's going to push for that if he's elected president. although he will not succeed, this shows that he would not want to continue supporting ukraine. so with the exception of this very powerful man, the speaker of the house of representatives, i think that the political elite in the american government understands how important it is that the united states continue to support ukraine, and that there is actually no need to reduce support for ukraine by increasing support for israel, this is a rather false comparison. we understand that there is a big game going on right now, in just a few days there will be a meeting between

president joseph biden and chinese leader xi jinping in san francisco and we will obviously hear a lot. many different correct protocol statements, but the key story is how they will look at what in plain language is called spheres and zones of influence, we understand that the two superpowers are able to communicate in the person of their presidents, we understand that we can only predict how these conversations may go, but i would ask you to outline this perimeter along which the american president and the leader will move china, and at the same time how it can happen directly on russian aggression against ukraine. thank you for such a smart question. so, the purpose of the meeting in san francisco is to try to find a way to reduce the degree of high tension in american-chinese relations. we all remember house speaker nancy pelosi's visit to taiwan last year. it

was a visit biden didn't want, but he didn't tell her not to. i mean. that he could not stop her from going because of the separation of powers in the us, but he could put political pressure on her and still he allowed her to go. so this visit created, in my opinion, unnecessary additional attention in the us-china relationship. since then , there have been a series of visits by american ministers to china trying to find ways that the us and china can not only reduce political tensions, but also cooperate on certain issues, for example, in the fight against climate change. so i expect there will be some discussion about climate change and how to mitigate the effects. the trade war between the us and china, because we all remember that president trump imposed tariffs on chinese imports into the us, starting a trade war that

biden continued, and xi jinping didn't like all of that, so i think xi jinping will want to hear from biden, what he is planning to do to reduce trade tensions , so president biden will naturally look for... ways to persuade china to reduce its support for russia's war in ukraine and will likely emphasize that the red line for the united states is to give china arms to russia. china is not doing this, china clearly does not want russia to escalate. china sees the war in ukraine as a way to counter the influence of the united states in the world and increase china's influence, but it certainly has no interest in seeing the war in ukraine escalate. or to ukraine lost, because ukraine is also an important trading partner for china. and of course, they will talk about taiwan,

which, like ukraine, will be an important part of this discussion. i think president biden will remind president xi that if china attacks taiwan, we can see the desperate struggle and high morale of the taiwanese people. following the example of ukraine, after russian troops invaded. so this meeting is a combination of the desire to reduce tension and the desire to cooperate with each other. along with that biden will definitely deter xi jinping from arming russia or attacking taiwan. there's this feeling, you know, that's how it is in politics, when you can't solve this or that particular problem now, you can put it off until. someone after you in the next political cycle has started to solve it, so we in ukraine are waiting for very quick, very specific decisions, whether president joseph biden, taking into account

the american election campaign, will take clear radical pro-ukrainian steps. newly biden just took such a radical pro-ukrainian step, asking for an additional $63 billion to support ukraine by the end of the year. after all, he helps provide ukraine with the weapons it needs. yes, it's not just the f-16. and yet, the atakams will already work on the enemy's positions. hymars and m11 abrams tanks were previously provided , so biden believes that he took a radical step by saying: ok, we want to give ukraine an additional $63 billion, help, because every dollar given will go to killing russian soldiers, every day. step if look at it from the side and think about it in terms of how biden acted at the beginning of the war, when he was hesitating

whether or not to provide these long-range precision weapons, i think that in the back of his mind, biden and jake sullivan always have a question, what if they do too radical a step, then russia may escalate to the level of using nuclear weapons, and this, in my opinion, is their main mistake. self-restraint makes war more likely to escalate, and as time goes on, the biden administration is less and less intimidated by russia's patently false threats to escalate to the nuclear level. when it comes to putin and the geography of his influence, i actually think that now he is much less influential in central asia, in azerbaijan, in armenia, maybe he is more influential in georgia, which is a very difficult and problematic place. but you mentioned tokayev. do you remember how last year, when putin proclaimed the autonomy of the donetsk , luhansk, kherson and zaporizhzhia regions, kaev, who was on the same

stage with him during the st. petersburg economic forum, refused to recognize the legitimacy of this step by putin, saying that he believes in territorial integrity. i have spoken to the leaders of some of the countries i just mentioned, and it is clear that they are no longer afraid of putin. putin has lost a significant part of his influence and is even a little desperate, because armenia is moving in a direction he does not like. recently, armenia ratified the rome statute of the international criminal court, which means that if putin visits armenia, he will have to be arrested there. prime minister pashinyan has repeatedly stated that russia is no longer their protector and that they cannot rely on russia. therefore, i think that if you look at this whole situation from a bird's eye view, it will become clear that it is really bad for putin, while for

ukraine, it is getting better and better. however, the key point is, as you rightly point out, the continued aid from the us, i think it will continue. we see how two strategies have been set in motion at the same time: the euro-atlantic strategy and the strategy of china and its allies. in particular, we are talking about visible visible allies, vassals of china, or states that are now trying to take over. participation in the redistribution of resources and influences, that is, we see two strategies, two big strategies at the same time, during the second world war, the united states managed to assemble what is called the euro-atlantic world, a large part of central europe, which was under the occupation of the soviet union, did not get there, now we see completely different players, and china looks much stronger than the russian federation, and in general, if we

we're talking about a grand american strategy to contain russia in ukraine, what can we expect, will there be, for example, a repeat of what we saw in the middle east, when the united states made it very clear to hezbollah and iran, that american aircraft carrier groups did not just come close to coast, and if the ayatollah's government wants to up the ante, then the united states will find a very clear. the main competition in today's world is usually between the united states with its post-war view of open markets, free trade, expanding political and economic freedoms, and china, which wants more government control and wants to be able to set new rules that will allow beijing to have much more control over other countries, not to mention the taiwan issue.

going back to the east, i completely agree with you that the us deployment of these two carrier battle groups was intended to send a message to hezbollah and its patron iran that if you expand the war into israel's gaza strip, the united states will not bother with the answer. and such retaliation will most likely inflict a debilitating blow on hezbollah, as it happened in 2006 and it took years to recover then, iran does not want to recover like this again. he seeks, first , to control most of lebanon's politics and , second, to have great influence in syria. so iran does not want to lose the hezbollah asset. and this is about what we talked about a few minutes ago, about nuclear deterrence. hezbollah can cause israel a lot of pain and death, but once iran dares to do so, hezbollah will destroyed, and therefore iran wants to maintain this

deterrent in order to be able to influence events not only in israel, but also beyond its borders, in the middle east. we have also seen iranian proxies resort to limited action, such as the houthis shooting down an american drone in yemen, they are exposing themselves to a potentially serious counterattack from the us, and if the us retaliates, it will send a strong signal to iran that if if hezbollah does something like that, then it and iran will not have transfers, iran will not start a war with by the united states, a war it can never win, iran is aware of this, yet it is not going to back down, and so ukraine actually has something to do with all of this, while the developing countries, or the so -called global south, are watching and wondering, why the united states and its european allies do not provide more support to israel. if you follow

how biden's statements changed, then biden actually warned israel and pressured it to stop its bloody campaign against the palestinians and gaza. but the more israel attacks the palestinians in gaza and the west bank, the more support the opponents of the united states and europe receive when it comes to ukraine. and this causes concern for ukraine, however , iran does not want to fight with the united states. how firmly, in your opinion, is it now on the agenda of the united states, and can the very unpleasant case of afghanistan be repeated, when the level of financial support first begins to decrease, yes, and then there is a great and tragic parting, that is, how serious ukraine is at heart the american establishment? afghanistan is not a very successful venture because the united states has been in afghanistan for 20 years and

the situation. it got more and more complicated there. in ukraine, in my opinion, the situation is improving. as i mentioned in the black sea, the innovative tactics and technologies of ukraine forced the russian black sea fleet. retreat, leave sevastopol and go to other black sea ports, such as novo.
