[000:00:00;00] will be able to get an education normally and defend their interests in court if someone tries to take away their business in the future, that is why it is very important for us to build democracy, this is a key issue, because in democratic countries, in principle, everything is in order from birth, not only definitely also authoritarian countries, where there is a fairly high birth rate and restrictions, but these are not the countries of the european union, these are not free countries, these are usually closed countries, but in democratic countries, the birth rate is where there is more democracy and where it is more is invested france, for example, is one of the leaders of the birth rate, and they spend on programs with the demographic situation even more than on their army. this is actually a problem of national importance. about how it happens in different countries, what are these indicators? well, our indicator there is less than one, and there should be more than two children per family, because if there is a father and a mother, then obviously, if there are more than two, then there is an increase,

if there are fewer. recession, we are now just a disaster, it is partly due to, well , reality, and because of the war, but partly also previously, we had a very low birth rate, even before the beginning of a full-scale invasion, and this is a big problem, and the state does not take care of this problem, but i am optimistic, i do not think that we will all make it, and it is possible, we can come to a disaster , but it is in our power to do everything to overcome this catastrophe, well, really, because you know, here is this idea... that then everyone will return, we will rebuild the country, it is the same as it was at first for two or three weeks, then the crimea counteroffensive to summer, there were many promises, people believed in it, unfortunately, all this in life is realized with a lot of blood, a lot of work and a lot of sweat and money, the same with the return, don't you think that this is an illusory expectation that everyone will come to power later, it does not encourage active actions, and

here is the budget we have for the coming year, it is interesting, there is something similar in the budget, some funds for information support, let's say for ukrainians abroad, for their return, for some other work, well, something aimed at the return of ukrainians, or separately for such things, funds unforeseen, they go somehow differently other articles, maybe in other projects, please, well, there is no corresponding state program, there is help for internally displaced persons in our country, it is small, and there are no serious return programs in ukraine and there is no one to take care of it, because this issue is divided between the ministry of the economy, the temporarily occupied social policy, and this is certainly wrong, there should be one body that would take care of the temporarily displaced persons and one body that would take care of the demography in the country, because it the state of medicine depends on this, and many, many other factors, but the fact that this is an extremely urgent problem for ukraine is 100%. well, i will ask one more thing, are you communicating with colleagues from poland, i think, not only from poland, but also from other european countries, where today

the ukrainians have left at the time, maybe some temporarily, do they say that what about us we also need working hands, specialists, especially young people who teach, study, or will study in poland, germany, belgium, ireland, britain, well, britain on the european union, but in any case there, in the czech republic, and therefore we will not facilitate the return of ukrainians, there in switzerland, for example, or something else, so win the competition now for your people, we saved them, helped them, allocated funds, and now those who are promising and can work with their heads and hands, so we will not let them go home especially like that, are such words not openly said by polish, or not, or other politicians? well , look, the polish authorities had a program to attract ukrainians to work in poland long before the full-scale invasion, they perfectly understood that ukrainians are culturally close to them and much easier, there will be fewer conflicts if ukrainians are invited, than if people from other countries

of africa and asia are invited, and that is why they did everything... for this, they invited for a long time the work of our doctors, and they began to recognize our diplomas, many ukrainian students studied there a long time ago , it was very easy to get a job, to get a so-called beaten card, that is, in essence, a polish residency where you could live and work, the poles themselves called me , entrepreneurs, my friends and acquaintances, they say, maybe you know someone in ukraine who would work for us in a hair salon or at a meat processing plant, they made various offers, they say find us someone, because poles are moving to us. so that poland took care of this for a long time, unlike ukraine, which still talks about it in principle, but does nothing, does nothing for it at the state level, it is another matter that there are countries that are now providing assistance to ukrainians, and this they will limit aid, and the limitation of this aid gives us a chance for that we return ukrainians to ukraine , but we are not taking advantage of this chance yet, there are objective reasons for this, the war, but already now we have to think about how we will

do it. thank you for your comments, thank you for doing this work, well , in any case, you know, wrote ivan yakovych franko , climb the rock, let neither the heat nor the cold stop you, that's why you need to do this work, the topic is and rather urgent and it is generally a question of the survival of the nation, the state, specifically the ukrainian nation, the ukrainian state, mykola knyazhytskyi was with us, the people a deputy of ukraine, also the author of the film ministry of love, or is ukraine without ukrainians, i once remember that a long time ago, but before the full-scale invasion, i spoke on the air with the esteemed mr. roman bezsmertny, and he said then that there was simply certain formulas, and the number of people who were in ukraine before the full-scale invasion was more than 40 million, it was a critical number of people in order to hold such a territory as ukraine in russia, by the way, 140 million is a critical number of russians in order to to keep a territory like russia, when the number of people becomes less than the number that can hold the territory, this country loses territories, these are just laws, you cannot defeat them in any way, therefore 30-25 million ukrainians for

such a territory as ukraine is, it is not enough, you cannot hold such a territory, such a number of people and you will not give it prosperity, there must be more people, otherwise you lose, just like russia, if they become 100 million, they will lose a part and act, just hope that and then everyone will come, why words, how everyone is not there, some will come, some will not, but well, it is necessary act actively and win competition for ukraine, for ukrainians, yes, with our partners abroad, well, this is life, as they say, just business, nothing personal, yes, well, just war, nothing personal, we will talk about the situation with serhiy zgurets at the front, not only about this, the director of the defense express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, sergiu , i congratulate you, vasyl, i congratulate our. viewers, well, there are already some impressive results, the army of drones destroyed 200 units of enemy equipment in a week, that's a lot and how many of those drones do we need to destroy, what does it depend on, and does anyone interfere with sending those drones in sufficient numbers to the front, please, well, really,

the use of semi-drones is a completely new trend in combat operations, the number, the more the merrier better, some of these drones, half of the drones were actually purchased through the ministry. e-e digital transformation and mainly also through the state special communications service, and therefore these very situations are connected there by accusing the leadership of this communications service that it is possible that in fact it is sped up processes related to the purchase of drones, because there were some accusations from certain companies that the state special communications is too slow to respond to the purchase of those samples developed by some private companies, i think that this situation may change in the near future. time, and later in our column we will talk about the visit of the us defense minister to kyiv, about what is happening on the front line, mainly around avdiyivka, and whether the recent tests of a new missile in the us will give

ukraine the opportunity to receive more attacks, about by moment. so, i'll start by saying that the head of the us department of defense, lloyd. today, november 20, arrived in kyiv on an unannounced visit, he said that he came to kyiv to meet with ukrainian leaders and to convey an important message that the states will continue to support ukraine in its struggle for freedom against russian aggression, both now and in the future in the future, in turn , it was reported on the pentagon's website that issues related to everything necessary for weapons...' forces for the winter period, as well as for the protection of ukraine from future russian threats. it is clear that the visit is taking place against a background of concern due to disputes in congress regarding the terms and amounts of military aid to ukraine, and

the american press, in particular the washington post, wrote in the context of the visit of defense minister shaostin that despite all these problems with congress, the united states will be able to send aid to ukraine , in particular, i quote. long-range weapons, although tecams are not long-range weapons, and ammo, at least for a while. when we talk about over a period of time, then let me remind you that there are now balances of about 4 billion dollars from the aid that relates to the possibility of using stocks from the arsenals of the american army, about one billion from those projects related to the purchase of new weapons, which must... be manufactured at us enterprises. so, if you actually count the last aid packages, their volumes, which reach somewhere around 200-250 million dollars, then these balances, i think, will be enough for at least one

quarter. but, the great expectation that congress, despite all these internal battles, will make a decision by the end of the year to allocate aid to ukraine in the amount of 62 billion, and this will be just such a systematic approach so that the ukrainian army can really carry out effective defensive and offensive actions, and in terms of operational needs, then they will become clear after the results... we have a meeting of the defense contact group in the ramstein format, this meeting is due to take place in two days on november 22, and the urgent needs that were just discussed today at the meeting between lloyd austin and the secretary of defense of ukraine rustem umerov, we don't know the details yet, but in any case, these details are better perceived not through statements, but through the actions of our... troops on the battlefield, relying on american military aid and

american weapons. and further to the front line, i will single out only one area, now avdiivka, which is part of the donetsk agglomeration, the fighting around avdiivka remains the most active. the enemy is trying to carry out further offensive actions. the ukrainian armed forces carry out counter-offensive counterattacks, so that in fact the enemy's attempts to provide an environment for the avdiy. already there for a month it does not lead to anything worthwhile, except for the essential losses of the enemy, and in more detail about what is happening on this part of the front, we will talk with our next guest, we are joined by maksym morozov, major of the ministry of internal affairs, officer of the legion of freedom, mr. major, i welcome you to the espresso channel, glad to see and hear, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, if possible, in more detail, based on your information, the last one there is extreme. what is happening right around

avdiivka, primarily in the north, what is the situation around the steppe, why is the information so contradictory, and about the enemy's attempts to break through to koksokhim, what is there, what are the latest events? well, then, let's start, knowing your program analytically, you will still ask, let's do a general overview , we will go up from the south, in the south the situation is stabilizing and stable for a certain period of time the enemy has collided with the defense wall of our defense forces and, accordingly , he cannot make any progress to ensure, despite the offensiveness of their actions, which are also constant, airstrikes are constantly conducted, there are constant shelling, artillery shelling, the technique is generally used, that in the south, that in the center, that in the north is used very little or not at all, again

this is due to the fact that the soil has softened quite seriously and, moreover, the technique , if it does go, it is immediately eliminated in principle by the operators of our cheat, that is, of course, the amount of equipment has decreased, it is not as huge as in the initial stages of this particular assault, let’s say so, of the first and second waves, plus, if there is ... then she is destroyed, well, in general, for these two waves of enemies, he lost a huge amount of equipment, and in our opinion, he is simply accumulating it somewhere in makiivka or in donetsk , hiding it, disguising it, so that when the cold weather comes, he can actively use the equipment, so that in the south, on the southern flank of avdiivka, and despite the actions of the enemy, not everything is stable and the enemy is not successful. moving further, we enter the center, so to speak, right in

the front of the city itself, this is from the position of the zenith to the industrial zone, also from the industrial zone, to the diyskyi forest, partly there, the so-called forest, who knows, along career, we go up to tyvikon, which will infect the zone and there is the center, here also the enemy is using infantry extremely strongly, it has such, such signs of meat assaults, because if there are somewhere from the number of 20s, numbers in october, the first days of november, these were the assault actions of 12-man squads there, now there may be more, and their plans , as i understand it, they already had their infantry enter somewhere, gain a foothold, and now they should develop success, but this is not is happening,

the situation is really quite critical industrial zone, and the industrial zone is under such constant pressure of infantry attacks, certain measures of the infantry are being eliminated , the enemy cannot gain a foothold, but what is in the industrial zone is , shall we say, a serious danger, a serious threat, it is true, but the defense forces are coping, we are moving midnight, we run into koptohim, the so-called bi terikon remains a raw area, and the enemy really runs to runs over, runs to kokssokhim , i mean on... kuktukhim, because there is no fighting on kukturahim, i don't know, at least that, and brigade, or that unit, who is responsible for the defense, not anywhere, not in personal, not in private conversations , they did not tell that the enemy managed to enter there or impose a battle in koksokhim, we are moving further

to the railway, so they ran from the railway, there was such a moment and there is, there was such a moment that they ran into the steppe, and as i said, it’s like an old saying, you know, it was: lead paris and die, then muscovites now have a new trend, lead avdeivka, or lead kaksakhim and die, that’s why even i saw such a trend , what the wives of russian soldiers said there, good luck avdeyate your storm, so now they understand why they are so actively and so to speak, aggressively trying to take over koksokhim , for them it is like a pavish, they must have climbed out somewhere from their swamp, their kotsapsky, into the real koksokhim, it is for them some kind of, i don’t know, some kind of fallout, as they say, so really, the further north toksohima is, the more serious the problem is, and they run over the railway,

cross it, but it is impossible to gain a foothold there, and here is the main thing, the north ends with the fact that they run into such a village, and a small one , which is also they are constantly trying to storm in order to expand this northern cliché, so-called, that is, to make it so, if in the south the cliché cannot be done, it stands still, let's say so, then they try to expand the northern cliché up to the city, it is very difficult, so that probably on the other hand, try to transport logistics and refine them with one cliché, well, that's their kind. in my opinion , their purpose, their directions, but again, the expansion of the northern klichnya stopped for the time being on the assault of khuter ceramics. mr. maksym, what about the weather now, as it were it's snowing, yeah, so it's kind of like a little bit of slow motion on both sides

of the drone use, is there really snow already in that area? look, it snowed in almost the entire region, that is, in a greater... or less extent, if we take from mevnohrad, then in this direction, northern mernohrad, poprovsk, and in the dnipropetrovsk region, a lot of snow fell, and further south, there, if we take in the direction of korakhov, novosilka is big, there is less snow, there is also snow in avdiivka, as much as there was in mevnohgrad, pokrovsk and in there was not so much in the direction of the dnipropetrovsk region, it was, but it was not so intense and it was more wet , let's say, let's call it wet snow, and regarding the use of technology, it has been repeatedly pointed out, everyone and everyone says and everyone knows that the donetsk soils are , when softened, they become soft concrete, a kind of, let's call it that, and in this

hard concrete it is practically impossible to use technology at all, well, that is, tanks can be used, tanks are used from both sides, our forces are also used, but very, very much less and less in connection with the soils, that is, everyone is already waiting for severe colds, those colds when the soils will become strong and will be able to withstand, at least some movement of equipment to the sides, in relation to fpv, a huge number of beetles, so our guys, our fighters too, use such methods of struggle, and most of the videos that all the brigades in the avdiiv region are now boasting about are videos of the use of these very drones, kamikazes about the destruction of both equipment and manpower, as well as manpower,

of the enemy , but the enemy uses, i would say, probably twice as many as we do, that is, we can't yet achieve parity with them in the use of ppvs, they fly , it's the first thing they try to control the roads, because to completely cut off the traffic of anyone who brings a bull there . i will take them out, and they drive in quite strongly and very dangerously. mr. maxim, thank you very much for your such a panoramic view of all areas of the front, thank you very much. thank you for taking the time to put it on the air and to explain what is happening there to our viewers, and let me remind you that

maksym morozov, a major of the ministry of internal affairs, an officer of the legion of freedom, was on the air, and he really, well , talked in quite a lot of detail about all the complex features of driving defense by our armed forces around avdiivka. and then we will talk about what kind of weapons our soldiers use to protect themselves from enemy pressure, and precisely in the context of two circumstances, given the situation around avdiyivka and in the context of the visit of the united states defense minister to kyiv, because some things require certain, as i think important, detailing, and now we are joined by a military expert from our defense press information company, ivan kircheevskyi, mr. ivan, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear, good evening, mutual, but continuing the topic of avdiyivka, you probably saw the inclusion of maksym morozov, where he talked about what is happening precisely on this part of the front, and we know that not

only american cluster munitions are used there, which there they are dispersing this russian ghetto, which is trying to approach our facilities there, but also now the bradley infantry fighting vehicle is being used quite effectively there, in particular the 47th brigade, there they showed such a video, where actually, well, in the literal sense, there is a grinding of... live enemy forces near koksokhim, i know that today on the defenseexpress website you made such a detailed analysis of the use of bradley in combat, i wanted you to share with our viewers what conclusions you made, what is the role of the bradley infantry fighting vehicle in combat and around avdivka and in other areas of the front? let's outline the following theses here: first, perhaps what is currently happening around avdiyivka will become, well, not to say a renaissance, but perhaps... such a good opportunity to reveal all the very best defensive

qualities, just like the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, yes and, let's say, the same leopard 2 and a6 tanks, which, if they were created at all, were primarily for defensive actions against, well, let's say , the soviet union, as such an embodiment of russia at that time, secondly, we still believed that the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, it seems so simple the ultimate, offensive weapon, which, despite its appearance, is capable of destroying defensive equipment on the battlefield, but if we work at least superficially with those open data sources that are available, we will see, for example, that for the us army, or bradley had approximately the same generally positive characteristics as for us , that is, first of all, it is the high survivability of the battle, if it did not sound surprising even to the americans, well, and secondly, well, the practice of using bradley specifically against or large there, well, or small precisely small groups infantrymen who can hide there, er, in these fortifications during offensive operations , or simply to conduct defensive operations, in fact, the practice there is quite wide, because, well, the destruction of enemy infantry and the destruction

of fortifications, the american military had to do this and during operation desert storm in 1991 and during operation iraqi freedom in 2003, it is true that there, yes, the figures for losses differ slightly, but it was obvious that there was, well, the question is rather in the degree of controllability of the enemy, and not in cars, moreover, it turns out that the americans used bradleys even during some battles in syria of the model, well , let’s say, in 2019 for sure, and there is another paradox that they were used in the nizoro district, well, the same district of the car factory, where once the wagnerites were old in their time, well, given that we know about the deployment of, for example, the american national guard there in 2019, but we do not know anything vivid about the use of the bradley fighting vehicle there, despite the fact that it is a hot spot, it means that exactly these machines are there played a defensive role

as efficiently as possible, so as to save the material part, save the lives of the crews, well, in principle, to complete the task, here is approximately this combination of high firepower, high survivability, and there is high flexibility precisely when using defensive actions, we can now clearly see on the example of the avdiivka, all the more so that let's also emphasize that bmpredli are not used just around avdiyivka, they are used in those areas of the front, which, let's say, were not considered that there should be any powerful military districts built there during the time of ato, and the russians clearly bet on that , that they would simply break through there, but not here, it turned out that the curtains in them became, let's say, just our bmp bradley, like some kind of mobile mechanized fortresses, and this is one thing for them, and here it is possible, even this is one of the factors of the presence of the bradley bmp, because the russians are still very far from the plan to, well, although... at least take a semi-encirclement of the avdiivka. mr. man, really, when we are talking about american aid then,

clearly, there should be more supplies of nonsense and more, maybe even this is more important than there, more abrams, better more bradley, it will be more effective, but on the other hand, today, defense minister austin visited kyiv and in parallel his visit was accompanied by publications that ukraine more ammunition will be provided, more long-range missiles, although we are not entirely clear what we mean by long-range missiles, although what are long-range missiles, in particular, the americans just last week tested this new pcm missile to the same launcher hymers, which has a range of up to 600 km there, which is, in principle, something close to long-range, but what are your assessments of the prospects of receiving certain weapons systems, in particular in the context of missile weapons there, which can really be a continuation

of the visit, or the consequences of the visit minister of defense shshai to kyiv. what are your estimates and likely predictions? let's focus here on what, let's say, about long-range, additionally about long-range weapons, ammunition, or, let's say, readiness to support the ukrainian army regardless of circumstances, including the time and internal political showdowns in the usa, well, there already on behalf of, let’s say, lloyd austin’s entourage drew from the washington post, well , that is, you and i are talking about some such solid realities that exist if talk about long-range missiles, well, of course, it will be such an ideal model that we will immediately be given a few... hundreds of tamagalks to work at iranian plants, but unfortunately, this is clearly not the case for us yet, the japanese will have to wait several years until they are given there agave for for commercial contract, from the fact that it is quite realistic to expect, well, let's say this, first, precisely against the background of successful tests of the same precision strike missiles or prsm, which are supposed to be successors, well, we can quite logically expect that the deliveries of attacks will be

to expand, well, these are roughly the same expectations, it seems that the head stated a month ago... mmz kuleba, but well, it is one thing when this political wish is declared, and another thing when the next katakamsa is successfully held tests, accordingly, the american military is already ready for the fact that a certain number of atakam missiles will be released and they can go to us, here it is shown that russian sources are already in principle gnashing their teeth about the fact that a precision strike missile can actually enter the us army, as they express themselves under the christmas tree, that is, in december 2023, another type of important missiles, which should theoretically be there and which was already discussed earlier, well, it seems that at the end of october , myroslavze, the head of radio liberty, nor the voice of america in eastern europe spoke about what is there in january, according to her data, they promise to give some missiles with a range of 300 km and 100 kg of warhead, according to what our team has already taught, well, there is only one option, the new version of the adn

88g missile harm extended range, exactly at a range of 300 meters and 70 km. it would seem that there is an anti-radar missile, but this is actually a very substantial reinforcement, because we can recall the problem, one of the many big problems there, which the diligent columnist described there, in particular, that the russian before the s-400 new anti-aircraft missiles have appeared that close the distance to the dnipro, which in turn would narrow our space for maneuver in-16, but now it turns out that maybe we will have a missile that will allow those f-16s to now narrow just for seven russian s-400s, so it is possible that there are just additional atakams and there, a certain number of these long-range eg88 versions, maybe not that we all would like, but in certain segments on the battlefield, this help is ours the army can reinforce. mr. ivan, thank you very much for such professional and interesting comments, we hope that the next deliveries of weapons packages will really include the samples

you talked about, i will remind our viewers that it was ivan kirchevskyi, a military expert of the information and consulting company defense express. these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later on vasyl zina's broadcast. so stay tuned. good evening, we are from ukraine. i thank serhiy zhorets, thank his guests, these were the military results of the day. the second hour of the great teru is ahead, there is a lot of interesting news about ukraine yuri fizer, and money during the war with oleksandr morchyvka, as well as sports news and weather from natalka didenko, what will this synoptic week be like, we will see and hear, well, i will briefly tell you now about the most important news for this hour, it will also include from of another trial against
