long range, although takams are not long range weapons, nor ammo, at least for a while. when we talk about over a period of time, i would like to remind you that there are now balances of about 4 billion dollars from that aid that relates to the possibility of using stocks from the arsenals of the american army, about one billion from those projects that relate to the purchase of new weapons, which should be made at us companies, so if you actually count the latest aid packages, their volumes, which reach somewhere 200-250 million dollars, then, in my opinion, these balances will be enough for at least one quarter, but there is a great expectation that the congress, despite all these internal battles, will decide by the end of the year on the allocation of aid to ukraine in the amount of 62 billion, and this will be just so systemic. move so that

the ukrainian army could really carry out effective defensive and offensive actions, and as for operational needs, they will become clear after the meeting of the contact group on defense issues in the ramshtein format, this meeting should take place already in two days, november 22, and the urgent needs that were just discussed today at the meeting between lloyd austin and the minister of defense of ukraine rustem umerov, we do not yet know the details, but in any case , it is better to perceive these details 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

continue to carry out offensive actions, the ukrainian armed forces carry out counter-offensives, counter-attacks, so that in fact the enemy's attempts to encircle avdiivka already there for a month do not lead to anything worthwhile, except for significant 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. major, congratulations. you have the espresso channel on the air, glad to see and hear. glory to ukraine! glory to the heroes. if possible, in more detail, relying on your information, the latest, the most recent, what is happening right around avdiivka, primarily in the north, what is the situation around the steppe, why is the information so contradictory, and regarding the enemy's attempts to break through to koksokhim, what are there, what are the latest events there?

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 has been stable for a certain period, the enemy has run into the defense wall of our defense forces, and accordingly, no advance he cannot provide, despite his offensive actions, which are also: constant, constant airstrikes, constant shelling, shelling, equipment is used, in general, what is in the south, what is in the center, what is in the north, very little or is not used at all, again, this is due to the fact that the soil has softened quite seriously and, moreover, the equipment, if it goes, it is immediately liquidated in principle by our operators or arta, that is, of course.

the number of equipment has decreased, it is not the same huge, as in the initial stages of this assault, let's say so , of the first, second wave, eh, plus, if there is, it is destroyed, well, in general, during these two waves , the enemy lost a huge amount of equipment, and in our opinion, he he simply accumulates it somewhere in makiivka or in donetsk, hiding it, disguising it, but when the cold weather comes. to actively use equipment, so that in the south, on the southern flank of avdiivtsi, and despite the actions of the enemy, not everything is stable and the enemy is not successful, moving on, we go, so to speak, into the center of the the front line of the city itself, this is from the zenith position to the pomzona, also from the pomzona, in

the fields, partly there is a so-called forest. heavily uses infantry, it has such and such signs. meat assaults, because if somewhere in the 20s, in october, the first days of november, these were assault actions by 12-man squads there, then now there may be more, and their plans, as i understand it, somewhere they already had their infantry enter, gain a foothold, and now they should develop success, but this is not happening, there is indeed a rather critical situation , in the industrial zone itself, and the industrial zone is under such a constant pressure of infantry attacks, certain measures of the infantry are taking place, which are being eliminated, the enemy cannot gain a foothold, but that

, that in the industrial zone there is, shall we say, a serious danger, a serious threat, it is true, but the defense forces are coping, we are moving more half-nightly, we run into kuptsuhim, the so-called kuktsuhim, just like terekon, and terekon remains a gray area, and the enemy really runs up to runs over reaches koksokhim, it is meant in the direction of koksokhim, because there are no battles on koksokhim, i do not know, at least that brigade or that unit that is responsible for the defense, not anywhere, not in personal, not in private, no conversations, not telling , that the enemy managed to enter there or impose a battle in the dry . you know, there was, take the parishioners to die, then muscovites now have a new trend

lead avdeivka, or lead avdeivskyi kaksakhim and die, that's why even i saw such a trend that the wives of russian soldiers there said, go your own way... that's why now they understand why she is so actively and so to speak nastily trying to take over kokssokhim, for them it's like pavish, they probably got out of their katsapsky swamp somewhere, in the diysky kokhsohim it is some kind of, i don’t know, some kind of pavish, as they say, so really , the further north from toksokhim, the more serious the problem is, and the iron... what they run over pass, but it is impossible to gain a foothold there, and here is the main thing, the north ends with the fact that they push into such a village as keramik, and a small one , which they also constantly try to storm, in order to expand this northern pincer, so-called,

that is, to make it so, if to the south, the clinch cannot expand in any way, it stands still, let’s say so, then they are trying to expand the northern cliché, and... they are pulling towards the village of ochere, in order to probably try to cross from that side, cut the logistics and sharpen it with one cliché, well, they are such their, in my opinion, their their purpose, their directions, but again, the expansion of the northern call stopped for now at the storming of the ceramics hut, mr. maksym, and what about the weather now, it seems to have snowed already, yes, that is, it is like a little bit... there is a slow-motion with both sides of the use of drones, is there really snow already in this area? look at almost the entire region has snowed, i.e. to a greater or lesser extent, if we start from myrnograd, then in this direction to the north, vinog,

pokrovsk and in the dnipropetrovsk region , a lot of snow fell, further south there, if we start in the direction of korakhov, novosilka is big, there is less snow there. there was not so much snow in avdiivka, as there was in myvnograd, pokrovsk and in the direction of the dnipropetrovsk region, it was there, but it was not so intense and it was more wet, let's say so, let's call it wet snow, but as for the application technicians have already repeatedly stated, everyone and everyone says, and everyone knows that the donetsk soils, when they soften, they become soft concrete like that, let's call it that, and in this kind of concrete application techniques in general is practically impossible, well, that is, tanks can be used, tanks are used from both sides, our defense forces are also used, but very, very less and less communication, especially with the soil, that is,

everyone is already waiting for cold weather, serious, such cold weather, when the soil will become strong and will be able to withstand at least some movement of equipment to the side, that a huge number of beetles, so our guys, our fighters too, use such methods of struggle and more... videos that all the brigades in the avdiiv region are now bragging about, this is a video the use of these very kamikaze drones to destroy both equipment and manpower and manpower of the enemy, but the enemy uses, i would say, probably twice as much as we do, that is, we cannot yet achieve parity with them in using fpvs, a huge number of them fly, it's the first thing they try to control

the roads, because in order to completely cut off the traffic of anyone who brings a bull there, or water, or just who transports people, that's why this road that leads from the worn through verdichi and so on, to avdiivka, she is constantly, constantly under fire, and they are driving hard enough and very dangerous. mr. maxim, thank you very much for your such a panoramic view of all areas of the front. thank you very much 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, major of the ministry of internal affairs, an officer of the legion of freedom, was in the firriso, who really, well, explained in quite a lot of detail about all the complexities peculiarities of the conduct of defense by our armed forces around avdiivka. and then we'll talk

about what weapons are used by our military to protect themselves from the pressure of the enemy, and precisely in the context of two circumstances, precisely in view of the situation around avdiyivka and in the context of the visit to kyiv by the minister of defense of the united states, because some things require certain, as i think important, detailing , and now we are joined by a military expert from our information company defense, ivan kirichevskyi, mr. sir, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear, good evening, mutually, but continuing the topic of avdiivka, you must have seen the inclusion of maksym morozov, where he told about what is happening precisely on this part of the front, and we know that it is not only american cluster munitions that are used there that disperse this russian ghetto that is trying to approach our facilities, but also now there is enough are effectively used... and the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, in particular the 47th brigade, showed such a video there, where

actually, well, in the literal sense , the grinding of the enemy’s manpower near koksokhim is taking place, i know that today on the defense express website you made such a detailed analysis of the use of bradley in combat , we 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 avdiyivka and in other areas. 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, both bmpredly and let's say that the same leopard 26 tanks, well, which, if they were created at all, were primarily for defense actions against, well, let's say so, the soviet union, as such an embodiment at that time.

second, we still believed that bmpredly is, as it were, such an ultimate , offensive weapon, which is easier there than the power of its appearance, just on the battlefield it is capable of destroying enemy defense equipment, but if at least we work superficially with those open data sources that are , then we will see, for example, that for the us army, or mpredli had approximately the same, generally positive characteristics, as for us, that is, it is primarily high survivability in battle, if it didn't sound strange even to the americans, well, and secondly, well, the practice of using the bradley specifically against a or large ones there, well, or small, precisely small groups of infantry that can hide there, those well fortifications during offensive actions, or simply for conducting defensive actions, in fact, the practice there is quite wide, because the destruction of enemy infantry and the destruction of fortifications, the american military had to do this during operation desert storm in 1991, and during operation... freedom of iraq in 2003, it’s true there, yes, the numbers on losses differ a little, but obviously there was, well, the issue

was rather in the degree of controllability of the enemy, and not in the participation of armored vehicles, moreover, the americans, it turns out, used the bradley model even during some battles in syria , well let's say it's 2019, for sure, and there's still such a paradox that they used in the district, well, the same district of the car factory, where the wagnerites once milled in their time. given the fact that we know about the placement of, for example, the american one of the national guard in 2019, but we do not know anything clearly about the use of bmpredly there , despite the fact that it is a hot spot, so it means that these machines played their defensive role as efficiently as possible there, so as to save the material part, save the lives of the crews, in principle accomplish the task, that is approximately the combination of high firepower, high survivability and there is high flexibility especially when using defensive actions, we can now clearly see on the example of avdiivka, especially since let's also emphasize that

bmpredly are used not only around avdiyivka, they are used in those areas of the front, which were then, as it was not considered, that there should be some powerful military districts built there during the time of ato, and the russians clearly bet on this, that they would have an easy time there to break through, and here is the thread, it turned out that their curtains have become, let’s say this, just our bradley infantry fighting vehicles, like some kind of mobile mechanized fortresses, and this is one for them, and here it is possible that even this is one of the factors , the presence of bradley infantry fighting vehicles, that the russians still very far from the plan to, well, at least how...' to take the semi-encirclement of avdiivka. mr. man, indeed, when we talk then about american aid , it is clear that there should be more and more bradley deliveries, maybe even this is more important than expecting abrams in more numbers, better more bradleys, it will be more effective, but on the other hand on the other hand, today defense minister osin visited kyiv and, in parallel, his visit

is accompanied by publications that more ammunition will be provided to ukraine. more long-range missiles, although we are not, not quite clear that we have an understanding under long-range missiles, although what is a delkabin missile, in particular, the americans just last week tested this new missile with the same heimer launcher, which has a range of up to 600 km, and this is, in principle, something close to long-range, but what what are your assessments of the prospects of obtaining certain weapons systems , in particular in the context of missile weapons there, which may indeed be a continuation of the visit, or the consequences of the visit to kyiv by the us defense minister, what are your assessments and probable forecasts? let's focus here on what, let's say, about long-range, additional long-range weapons, ammunition, or , let's say, the readiness to support the ukrainian

army regardless of the circumstances , including time and internal political showdowns in the usa, well, there already from name, let's say, lloyd austin's entourage drew ze washington post, well, that is, you and i are talking about some such solid realities that exist, if we talk about delokabin missiles, well , of course, it would be such an ideal model that we would immediately be given a few hundred tamahawks for work at iranian factories, but unfortunately for us, this clearly does not happen yet, the japanese will have to wait a few years until they are given agaves there under a commercial contract, which is quite realistic to expect, well, let's say this, the first, precisely against the background of successful tests of the same precision strike missiles. or prsm , which are supposed to be the successors of the atakams, well, we can quite logically expect that the supplies of the atakams will expand, well, roughly the same expectations, it seems that the head of the ministry of interior kuleba stated about a month ago, but well it is one thing when simply this political wish is declared, and another thing when the next katakamsa successfully passes the test, accordingly, the american military is already ready for the fact that

a certain number of missiles will be released to the tataks and they can go to us, here it is indicative that russian sources already in principle with... they want to entertain the fact that the precision strike missile can actually enter the us army, as they say under the christmas tree, that is, in december 2023, another type of important missiles that could theoretically be there and about which there was talk before, but it seems that at the end of october, myroslava gengadze, the head of radio liberty, or the voice of america in eastern europe, spoke about the fact that in january, according to her data, solid data, they promise to give some missiles with a range of 300 km and 100 kg of combat unit. from what our team has already taught, well, there is only one option, a new version of the aign 88g missile, harm extended range, just for a range of 300 km and 70 km, it would seem that there is that anti-radar missile, but it is actually very essential reinforcement because we

we can recall the problem of one of the many big problems there, which was described in the article by the economist, in particular, the fact that the russians have new anti-aircraft missiles before the s-400, closing the distance to the dnipro, which in turn would narrow our room 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 the space for seven russian s-400s, so it is possible that there are just additional atakams and there, a certain number of these long-range versions agm88, maybe not what we would all like, well but in certain segments on the battlefield, this help can strengthen our army, mr. ivan, thank you very much for such professional and interesting comments, we hope that the next deliveries of weapons packages will indeed include the models you talked about, i will remind our viewers that this was ivan kirchek. military expert of the defense express information and consulting company. these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later on

vasyl's big broadcast, so stay tuned to the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. thank you sergey. sgorts, thank you to his guests, these were the military results of the day, the second hour of the great ter is ahead, a lot of interesting things, the world about ukraine with yuri fizer, and money during the war with oleksandr morchyvka, as well as sports news and weather from natalka didenko, what will this be like synoptic week, we will see and hear, well, i will briefly tell you now about the worst news for this hour, and will also have an inclusion from the next trial of chervinsky, the late chervinsky, what is happening there, will be told by our correspondent, a bit later. later, the russian occupiers hit nikopol again, during artillery shelling, an 83-year-old woman died. another 53-year-old man was wounded, according to the head of the dnipropetrovsk

regional military administration, serhii lysak, three private houses, two farm buildings, a car, a power line and a gas pipeline were damaged . unannounced visit of the secretary of defense of the united states. america loydin met in kyiv with the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky the head of the pentagon noted that this meeting was another opportunity to confirm the steadfast support of ukraine from the united states. austin also added that the united states, along with allies and partners , will continue to support ukraine's immediate battlefield and long-term defense needs. loydin arrived in kyiv in the morning with an unannounced visit. we want to thank president biden once again, we wish him a happy birthday, we wish him victory, and he will decide where and in what direction, for us and for the united states

it's very important to get results, and we count on your support, and we thank congress, bipartisan support, and we're grateful to the american people for working with us through these challenges. we saw the courage of the ukrainian people, which really impressed the world, the message that i am conveying. today is that the united states is with you and will be with you for a long time, what happens here in ukraine matters not only to ukraine, but to the rest of the world, and it certainly matters to the united states of america, so our allies and partners will continue to work so that ukraine receives everything necessary for success. two dealers wanted to secretly sell an arsenal of russian weapons captured by ukrainian defenders in the battles near...' khmut, among the confiscated more than 60 assault rifles and machine guns, as well as russian -made anti-tank grenade launchers, they tried to sell the weapons to representatives of the dnipropetrovsk

crime scene. the sbu officers detained both suspects during the sale of seven kalashnikov assault rifles, including the new ak-12. two contractors were detained one of the military units of the defense forces that were deployed to donetsk region. well, now we move on to the announced inclusion in the appeals court today they are considering the petition of the defenders of the former intelligence officer roman chervinskyi. our correspondent dmytro didura is in the courtroom, he is with us live. dmytro, i congratulate you, are there any results of the review of the appeal against the court decision regarding chervinskyi. please. congratulations to vasyl, and congratulations to our viewers. there is no decision on any appeal yet. i want to note that there should have been them today. and begin the court session was supposed to be at 2:50 p.m., but it did not take place, as it was claimed that the judge had other cases, which is why the consideration

of the appeals of roman chervinskyi's defenders was delayed, that is why the people who supported them, and they wanted to support roman chervinskyi, there were quite a lot, they waited on the sidelines of the court , and shouted various... messages in support of roman chervinsky, asking for the release of the ex-intelligence officer, and when the hearing was about to begin, they led the prosecutors of this case into the courtroom to shouts shame. now the court session has started, but with a delay at approximately 5:05 p.m., and roman chervinsky's defense attorneys have asked for the prosecutors to be dismissed , arguing that they should be related to this case and emphasized that this is a political order, that prosecutors act according to

instructions, just like judges . what does roman chervinsky himself think about his case, let's hear, namely, in 111, there is something in state treason that i informed the russians, they didn't prove it, they didn't find it, and they just changed it, sent it, and let's ask him to be a spy and, already these the judges are scared, because it's like a war for today, they'll confirm, that's how they work, now the judges are in a consultation... room regarding the decision to dismiss the prosecutors, and i 'll remind you that roman chervinskyi is accused according to the word of mouth, as if he arbitrarily wanted to carry out a special operation to capture a russian plane, but this led to the shelling of the kanatove airfield in the kirovohrad region, then one serviceman was killed, 17 more were injured, so far i have such information, i will pass it on to you, vasyl.

thank you very much, well, we will wait for the decision of the court, dmytro didura, our correspondent from the appeals court, where the appeal against the court's decision regarding the preventive measure for colonel roman chrevinskyi is being considered. she sings, cooks, adores cats, and of course she makes the weather forecast. as you may have guessed, we are talking about the well-known media expert, natalka didenko. our journalists decided to pay a visit to mrs. natalka. we invite you behind the scenes of the life of the forecaster of the tv channel. synoptic, hello to all, dear ukrainians, delicious dinner and weather forecast from natalka didenko, this is the evening routine for most viewers of espresso, she is a well-known media specialist who managed to combine her love of philology and meteorology in her life. acquaintance with a woman meteorologist inspired natalya so much during her school years that she without a doubt entered the geography faculty of the department of meteorology of kyiv state university, today

ms. natalya already is. has a lot of fans , he starts his day working on the forecast, he says, he starts working as soon as he opens his eyes, just in bed, the weather forecast begins by studying the synoptic situation, i review forecast maps, this is a map of the air temperature, how it moves, these are meteorological charts, these are pictures, satellites, a mandatory study of atmospheric fronts, cyclones, how they move, on september 11 natalka celebrated the 30th anniversary of her marriage to serhiy didenko, an officer of the armed forces. on february 25, he signed up as a volunteer and then transferred to the armed forces of ukraine. natalka's husband, her support and motivation, says that he can calm her down for any reason in two minutes, and the secret of a strong marriage is very simple. marriage is daily, daily, i emphasize, not weekly, don't understand daily work on balance,

that's it. the main thing is that people who live together have common values, and they are not only spouses , they are not only in love, that they are friends, common values, a common spirit, this is the most important thing, another love of hers - she has been singing for five years, a member of the baroque amateur choir, bach. natalya says that she adores khurbakh not only for music, but also because he gives her the opportunity to learn, develop and enjoy life, you know, it's simple such happiness without exaggeration, because since we all look forward to the rehearsal , by the way, i emphasize even more rehearsals than concerts, well, it's very, very nice, because you study a lot, you learn a lot, we have an absolutely fantastic choirmaster ,

besides the fact that she is a professional, it is clear, she has such charisma, and i am sure that many of us even go to this choir because of her. everyone who follows natalka's life cannot fail to know about the cat apelmon, he lived in the family for 17 years and became a favorite of millions of ukrainians. all, those who have lost animals understand perfectly well what i can talk about, and it is actually very difficult. to be honest, i didn't even think it would be so difficult. by the way, i am very grateful to everyone who responded to this sad. event , it was for me, it touched me a lot and supported me a lot, although i cried there, of course, but you know that, it is very warm and very pleasant. natalya and sergey did not plan to have cats, but fate decided otherwise. friends of the family, actors taras zhirko and tetyana oleksenko, invited their grandfathers to visit them. and it so happened that the actors' cat just gave birth to a kitten. and we started looking at them, and my husband tells me, suddenly, maybe

two, and i have, you know, some... just like, well , i don’t even know how it is
