ours, our communication with you, as i promised, it goes on until 8 p.m., and now exactly 4 seconds later, 8 p.m. begins, all is well. in ukraine, which means that it is news time on the espresso tv channel, in the studio of iryna koval, greetings to all viewers. russia shelled the nikopol district of dnipropetrovsk region several times during the day. with heavy artillery, the occupiers fired at marganetska and chervonogrigorivskyi communities and the city of nikopol - the head of the region, serhiy lysak, said. three private vehicles were damaged. houses and farm buildings, on

luckily, there are no dead or injured. a loud explosion rang out in temporarily occupied melitopol, mayor ivan fedorov wrote about it. he promised to provide all the details later. and in a week, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed more than 700 russian invaders. this was announced by the first deputy minister of defense of ukraine, lieutenant general oleksandr pavlyuk. among the destroyed. equipment of 86 enemy tanks, 94 armored combat vehicles, 185 artillery systems and eight air defense installations. also, 170 units of auto equipment and 18 units of special equipment were burned techniques of muscovites. and in the sky, ukrainian defenders shot down three russian missiles, 123 drones and one enemy plane in a week. unique operations at the front, surgeons

on the front line were able to create conditions and perform complex surgical interventions on wounded soldiers. one of them is lviv vascular surgeon taras kobza. how our soldiers are saved, see further in the story of khrystyna parubiy. personally, i have had more than 300 operations on arteries in the past two years. taras kop for... surgeon, senior resident of the surgical department, during a full-scale war works in a field hospital in eastern ukraine. together with the team, he saves the military and performs unique operations at the front. the percentage of successful operations is extremely high, i.e. it is above 90%. at different degrees of complexity. even with injuries to the heart, we approach 90% success, if they manage

to prove to us, yes, if the patient manages to get to the operating room alive, then his percentage of survival is very, very high. in civilian life, since 2005, taras kobza worked as a vascular surgeon at the lviv regional clinical hospital, candidate of medical sciences, but he never stood aside from the events taking place in the country, took part in the orange revolution and the revolution of dignity, operated on the wounded on hrushevskyi on the maidan. and when russian troops entered the east, he voluntarily joined the army. then taras kop rescued soldiers from ilovaisk, there were a large number of seriously wounded. we took them out by helicopters, three helicopters landed in the dnipro, by the way, they are such big ones and they were unloaded in one go, well, the man is 70, probably, yes, yes, that was a lot ambulances, we brought them to the hospital, that is.

three helicopters brought in 70 people, there were more than 20 people, some lying down, some sitting, i don't know how those guys brought them, but yes, yes, they arrived in these helicopters, airplanes then, well, i don't remember, but it seems that they didn't fly very much, although they didn't fly, they did fly, but the evacuation from ilovaisk took place in a helicopter, but then it looked like some kind of terrible disaster to us. in 2015, taras kop suffered a spine injury, underwent rehabilitation and returned to work at the hospital. on the morning of february 24, as soon as the first russian rockets fell, he again went to the front. the place of service did not change, but the number of injured and the nature of injuries increased significantly. on the second front line, doctors have created the conditions and perform unique reconstructive operations, i.e. restore blood vessels. injury to the carotid artery is always bad, it's practically death, yes.

it is a large diameter blood supply to the brain, but everyone knows that the heart is a very important organ, but the brain, well, it may not be so important, but it is also very desirable for existence, and it is actually on these first two large and then smaller carotid arteries, because there are three of them, actually on the one hand, that is, on these arteries our brain is held, in fact, for what we exist, recently surgeons managed to save a soldier who had a carotid artery injury, what makes him so unique, because not just the carotid artery was damaged, but the place. where three carotid arteries merge, common, huge, external, which supplies blood to the face and eye, and internal, which actually supplies blood to the opura, so three blood vessels were torn from his eyes, that is, arterial bleeding floods your wound from all three sides, you cannot distinguish them well, catch them

well, well, but we managed, we got there, squeezed all three arteries and thus knocked them down , that they again formed a good one where all three arteries were working, they have already contacted dnipro, they gave us information from dnipro that the patient is conscious, everything is fine, he will undergo rehabilitation. currently, the hospital has two surgeons who can perform vascular surgery at the same time operations, but it happens that there are significantly more patients. we choose which of them has more chances, well, my personal approach, unfortunately, it is a bit cynical, probably, but... he has the right to life, it is a military approach. i look at the one who has more chances. if you have a better chance of recovering the limb, you go first, i will finish with you sooner and take on the one who has less chance. fortunately, it was not necessary to make sacrifices, so much so that

it was not necessary to completely write off the patient. in general, surgeons at the front work very hard quickly. operations that would take hours in a civilian hospital are done here in minutes. personal record. taras kobze restoration of blood supply in 35 minutes. he tries to do everything quickly and qualitatively in order to preserve the lives of our defenders as much as possible. khrystyna porubiy, espresso tv channel. bohdan yermukhin is at home. the boy, whom the rashists took from occupied mariupol to moscow, returned to ukraine. bohdan yermokhin turned 18 today. he was welcomed in his native land. the boy's first words were glory to ukraine. he previously recorded a public an appeal to volodymyr zelenskyi to return him home. as reported in the president's office, everything happened within the framework of the implementation of the action plan of the head of state and in ring kids. ua. initially, bohdan was brought from moscow to belarus, and now he is already near his sister in

ukraine. he supported the drivers. a polish volunteer organized help for ukrainian drivers who were stuck on the road due to a strike by polish carriers. david denert, a few days ago organized a collection and those who cared threw him 10,500 zlotys, which is more than 90,000 hryvnias. for these money, the man bought food, medicine, hygiene products and took everything to the checkpoints. he was helped by a ukrainian who has been living in poland for a long time and a ukrainian doctor. let me remind you that due to the strike , several thousand of our remote workers are waiting in line at the polish-ukrainian border. risked their lives to save animals, police officers and volunteers evacuated two horses from avdiivka, they escaped from the farm in a swallow. the russians destroyed the enterprise in the spring of this year. in search of food, the animals ran for 5 km. police officers spotted

mustangs in avdiivka. horses went wild and not went to people. the next time, the law enforcement officers came together with volunteers, among whom was a professional spouse. with his own horse. seeing the animal, the wild animals followed him. in this way , the rider slowly led them to the nearby village to the sound of explosions. the horses will be taken out of the region in the near future. professional and brave. in ukraine, the day of agricultural workers is celebrated. during the war, the farms work under constant fire. russia destroys grain warehouses, attacks crops and burns fields. despite everything, she is brave. agricultural producers not only strengthen the economy of our country, but also feed the world. supporting farmers is and will be a priority of the government - prime minister denys shmehal promised in his welcoming speech. that was the news for this time, but as always you can

read more on our website espresso tv. also follow us on social networks. i'm iryna koval, i'm telling you, goodbye and see you tomorrow, literally in a few minutes. my colleague vitaly portnikov will continue the broadcast. congratulations, friends, we continue the information broadcast tv channel, vitaly portnikov is with you, 634 days of russia's war against ukraine, hundreds of heroic days.

resistance, hundreds of days of waiting for the results of the offensive of the ukrainian armed forces on the position of the russian occupiers , hundreds of days of struggle to ensure that the russians did not occupy new ukrainian lands and left those territories, those they had already occupied at the beginning of the war and in the first difficult weeks of the russian - the ukrainian confrontation, and we will of course talk about all this with you on our broadcast today, we will talk with our guests in on this broadcast, it is quite important to understand where we are in principle with you, these are always the subjects of our conversations with you, but today it seems to me that the president of the united states gave an absolutely clear assessment of what is happening, he wrote a special article for the washington post , and in this article. how, by the way, in his address to the nation after the attack of hamas on israel

, the president of the united states combined these two important conflicts, the war in ukraine, now on the 634th day, and the war in israel, there on the 44th day of the war, into one the conflict of opposition to democracy and dictatorship, very important, i think unification for all of us. and it is this association that allows the president of the united states to say that america should continue to help ukraine, that america should continue to help israel, the president of the united states emphasized in this text that this can be said to be an investment in american security, because if , if the ukrainians do not fight, as the president of the united states emphasized, the american sultanates themselves will fight... this is something that is often

forgotten in the west, it can be assumed that this is all happens, so to speak, by itself, but in fact no, in fact we understand that the strengthening of authoritarianism is a serious challenge for american citizens, for citizens of all countries, of the sovereign west, as a rule, americans always, when wars began, in europe, they it seemed that they could be somewhere far away, from these wars, and then still had to intervene, i would say, intervene in much worse conditions than what is happening now. what will our world look like on the other side of the conflicts, says joseph biden in this article. if we deny hamas its ability to do evil, what will israelis and palestinians do. to one day live side by side in peace with two states for two peoples, can we

hold vladimir putin accountable for his aggression so that the people of ukraine can live in freedom and europe remains an anchor for global peace and security, and the overarching question is whether will we relentlessly pursue our positive vision of the future, or will those who share our values ​​be allowed to drag the world into more dangerously, and a divided era, with putin and hamas fighting to wipe the neighboring democracy off the map, and putin and hamas hoping to destroy regional stability and integration and take advantage of further chaos. america cannot and will not allow this to happen, for our own national security interests and for the good of the world. this is a belief, president biden emphasizes in a special section of this. text called thoughts about ukraine is the basis of the approach to support

the people of ukraine as it continues to defend their freedom from putin's harsh war. we know from the two world wars of the last century that when aggression in europe remains unanswered, the crisis does not burn itself out. it directly involves america. that is why our commitment to ukraine today is an investment in our own. security, it prevents a wider conflict tomorrow. we are keeping american troops out of this war by supporting the brave ukrainians who are defending their freedom and homeland, we are providing them with weapons and economic aid to stop the government putin and eh, to do it before the conflict spreads further. the united states is not doing this alone, more than 50 countries have joined us, says the president of the united states, to ensure that ukraine has what it needs to defend itself. our partners

assume most of the economic responsibility for supporting ukraine. we have also built a strong, united nato alliance that enhances our security through the strength of our allies, making it clear that we will defend every inch of nato territory to deter further russian aggression. our allies in asia are also standing by us to support ukraine and hold putin accountable because they understand that stability in europe and the indo-pacific is theirs. the essence of ties, well, you will ask and what and and - this is a call also to the american congressmen, which we repeatedly talk about on this broadcast of ours, to support the proposals made by the president of the united states regarding further support for ukraine, israel, the chinese republic on

taiwan, in terms of further support for democracy, we see that it is still too early to say that the vote on this matter from... happening with such support, the speaker of the house of representatives of the american congress, mile jordan, is clearly in no hurry to take place with a vote on this support, now republicans and democrats continue to consult on who will be a real participant, a compromise that should work out two, the most important agreements for the support of the united states, the united states, ukraine and

israel. republicans are very dependent on security measures at the border between the united states and. this is an eternal problem, an eternal problem of american security, we remember that talking about this problem and the need to solve it in a big way led to the white house of donald trump, who is still successfully competing for the republican nomination, has a huge chance to to become the republican candidate for president of the united states, and of course, there are supporters of donald trump in the american congress, and among them is the new speaker, michael jordan. are doing everything possible to ensure that the trumpist line wins in american politics, but the question arises: who do they want to make weak in the eyes of the american voter, the republicans who are supporters of the former president of the united states, the current president of the united states, joseph biden, or the united states itself, this is very

important question, because it is not only about how much ukraine in the next difficult and exhausting years. confrontation with russia federation, will it be possible to really resist the new russian aggressive plan, will american european military financial aid be enough for this? it is about the fact that the civilized world itself can lose to russia if the russian troops fulfill the ambitious goal set before them by president vladimir putin and shared by the vast majority of russians, if ukraine and belarus disappear from the political map of the world. countries of the caucasus and central asia, if the soviet union and new flags appear again on the political map of the world are scheming over kyiv, dushanbe and baku, over yerevan, minsk and azhgabat, who will be worse off, only us, those who will get rid of their homelands, those who

say goodbye to the dream that there may be some other on the territories of the former russian empire country than russia, which is aggressive in itself, and other countries will be better off, it will be better from the russian presence in uzhhorod and kushka, on the borders of afghanistan and poland. not sure, this is what this global security is all about. that is why, as long as the ukrainian state exists, the ukrainian people have hope that it will remain on its historical territory, it becomes security, not only for us, it becomes security for the united states, for the countries of the european union, and it certainly cannot be forever, because the russian federation is a country with 120 million people and with a low cost of human life, the country is charged with aggression all the way. throughout its history, that is why territory after territory, country after country, city after city, passed russian rule for centuries, and if this atmosphere is not stopped

and relays of evil, then a completely different world can become its victim, the world that now believes that it will be able to restrain russia, in fact it is restraining it with our help, and this is also, very important, we now see that the calculations of those who thought that the president of the russian federation, vladimir putin, would realize the futility of the plans to invade ukraine and think about the need to renounce aggression, proved to be disproved by his own life. vladimir putin is charged with aggression, he is sure that not in three, but in 23 years, the russian federation will regain the territory of the former soviet union will not only be wiped off the face of the earth. independent states on this territory, but also those, their inhabitants, who will adhere to dangerous ideas of sovereignty and independence.

russia is now morally ready to expel from the territories of the former soviet republics all those who do not consider themselves russians, you see what is happening in the occupied territories of ukraine, in fact, people of one nationality, one identity, are trying to rename themselves to others. russia captures regions with ethnic ukrainian population and claims that this is not just historical russia, the land of mother catherine and prince potemkin, but that ethnic russians live on these lands, who must learn the russian language and be part of this senseless ruskamir. i assure you that the same fate awaits the belarusians, the peoples of the caucasus and central asia are satisfied with the status of autonomous republics of the establishment. as part of the victorious, self-confident russian federation, this is what russian chauvinists want, and this is what ukrainian citizens are now defending, and it is absolutely necessary

to clearly understand that this is not just a local battle near bakhmut, or a local battle near avdivka, no, it is a completely different struggle, a struggle of an existential nature, the survival of the ukrainian people itself, but of many people, depends on its outcome. in the physical sense of the word, because no one said that these 10-15 years that putin is planning for the next war will be calm for our ordinary life, but now let's talk about the specific moments of this war and this confrontation with our expert, mykhailo prytula, military reserve colonel the sbu, an expert in military counterintelligence, we are already in touch, congratulations, mr. mykhailo, it's nice to see you, i congratulate you, come on. let's talk about these missile attacks, which have already begun to take place and the drone attacks that took place, these are definitely attacks on infrastructure on

civilian infrastructure, are we present at a repeat of last year's season, or something else? no, this is simply an attempt to exhaust the forces, to exhaust the forces of ukraine, let's say this , that is, a game of attrition, this is what putin is doing and exactly as you said now, what putin hopes is that not in five, not in 10, 15 years, but he is exhausting ukraine. shaheds are relatively cheap weapons, compared to cheap weapons, mass weapons, and therefore they will use them quite a lot, unfortunately, this is a fact that we see with you, the question here is not where they will fly, it is that the whole country is... in a tense state, and in this way he is destroying the economy itself , exhausting the economy of ukraine, this is what he is doing today, well, the logic of his actions is absolutely clear, that is, not to give

us peace and exhaust our economy, our strength well, on the other hand, people should learn from their mistakes. he also saw that last year's season did not lead to the energy collapse of ukraine, and moreover, it can be said that such adaptation to events has begun. last year, as you remember, there weren't all these generators, the business didn't really have an idea of ​​how to work during outages, now all these stages have already been passed and we understand how to survive in such specific conditions, why repeat it again , well , agree that these are not quite normal conditions when we have to, yes, they are not normal living conditions, and in any case, these situations, they stop , the processes are certain and the moskals understand this well, so they try to do so that there are no investments, no investments in the economy of ukraine,

because there will be no investment when such attacks are taking place, and this is their main goal now, i.e. to stop ukraine as such, simply to stop , economic movement, economic life, the fact that they themselves stop at the same time, and in fact they cannot also develop as a civilized country, well, them in principle, on their people, absolutely everything is equal, that is, they they don't care about their people, and they also don't want to care about ukraine. about other uh, let's say this, about development in general in principle, that's what is happening today , i.e. waiting for them to come to their senses, take hold of their minds or something else, well, it's in vain, because so far they haven't happened, no matter how many years they gave them, even a peaceful life, they will use them not to develop , to harm others and prevent others from developing, as in the old ani... still, yes ,

when, and what, what are they rioting about, they want the rich to be gone, it's strange, but my grandfather worked so that there would be no poor, well, that 's the situation, they want the rich to be gone, and of course, there are some ideologues , like, rejoin ukraine to russia, so that it will be as usual, as they remember, well , we can remember that once we were part of europe and were simply conquered by russia, so if we want to be in europe, we have to hitch. .. and care about it, but by and large, this is what is said, whenever the conflict in the middle east is discussed, that the question is not how the palestinian radicals want to negotiate with israel there , it is that they are always looking for a moment of weakness to attack and strike, and the question arises, what is the way out of this situation, here we talked about the article by president biden, so we have to support, but if we have a situation with

the opposite side, with putin's russia or with hamas, who live to strike, then how to get out of the situation? well, the way out of the situation is quite simple, be strong, let's be stronger than them, that's all, there is simply no other way out, because - to think about the fact that there hope that they will come to their senses, that they will take care of their people there, or think about their economy, well, this is a completely useless thing, they will never become people, they will not be like that, here they are. .. they require a firm hand, to be led by someone, to be led somewhere, why led is not entirely clear, but our values ​​are unsuitable for them, because ours is a completely different world, we live differently, we think differently, and they are born in order to die, this is a normal state for them, that is, a person

is born and they kill the head right there from the first day that she has to die, for some purpose, no matter how important it is that everyone says that it is the right purpose, well, for example, for the wife to get the order or something else, this is itself an existential existential struggle , ideological struggle, because, well, the civilized world, it lives in order to live, in order to enjoy life, and russians, they are born in order to die, suffer, there is something else, these are completely different ideological values , who unfortunately do everything else to... get in the way, everything everything is possible to interfere with others, as lenin once articulated these things, he said a fairly simple thing: as long as we interfere with others, we will be reckoned with, so their goal is quite simple, to interfere with others, to interfere with development, and if you take the conflict there in the near east, he, they are probably planning to expand it to other countries, to increase the arab population in europe there, in

order to interfere... again, to live differently, and that's it, please tell avdiivka, russians want to turn into a second bahmud and for what, in general, the positions near avdiivka can really change their overall strategic situation on the donbas front, well, they choose such objects to which they have good logistics, because where they have bad logistics, it is better for them to flee, and they are carefully planned, but for tut, the situation is quite simple, he needs another object to divert attention from bakhmut, because putin spent 10 million dollars there to take bakhmud in a year, and if he is lost, then the person responsible for this will be on shaigu, therefore shaigu will now try to find some other object to pass off as a great victory, so that
