conversation with the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, piotr sijarto. the topic of conversation, as yarmak says: the meeting of the two leaders in the near future, then who can sway whom to their side, zelensky orban or orban zelensky. depending on which city you are watching us from, please write in the comments what the situation is in your region, what is known as of now, is there still an air alert, where is the air alert, in what place, come down, either please take cover, this is important, because a really massive missile attack on ukraine from... is happening literally at this very moment as well. the russian army bombarded ukraine with missiles and drones this morning. two waves of mass attacks took place with an interval of one and a half hours. first, s-300 and x-22 missiles kharkiv was shelled, lviv was shelled with drones. konotop in sumy region was also hit by a rocket. and public relations correspondents reported on explosions in cherkasy. later, about 7. the russian army launched cruise missiles from tu-9 fighters. kyiv,

lviv, kharkiv and dnipro again came under attack. in kyiv, it is known about seven victims of the explosion that damaged the building of the lukyanivska metro station. the station works as a shelter. trains pass the stations without stopping - kyiv mayor vitaly klychko reports. in kyivska city the military administration is told that debris fell in the podilskyi and svyatoshynskyi districts, and there is a fire in a residential building and warehouses. lviv was attacked by rockets and rockets. according to preliminary information, there is a hit. there are casualties in a residential building in lviv, said the head of the lviv regional military administration , maksym kozytskyi. a fire broke out in one of the city's lyceums, he said in his telegram, presumably due to falling rocket debris. according to his information , all specialized services are heading to the place. our correspondents are also going to the scene, so we are waiting for their prompt activation. well, the rocket attack on the city was preceded by an attack by the shaheds, the mayor of the city andriy sadovy noted that more than 10 shaheds attacked the lviv region. there was a fire at a critical infrastructure facility in lviv. also, explosions

were heard in lviv at 8:50 a.m., as official information is received , we will report all the details live during the broadcast, so stay with us and actually wait for those guests who will be during this broadcast, including representatives of the air force and representatives i mean the official representatives of the ukrainian regions affected by this attack, but write in the comments what the situation is in your cities, it's important. the spokesman of the air force of ukraine, yuriy ignat, joins our conversation at this moment. i greet you, mr. yury, good morning, congratulations, please tell me all the details that are known as of now, and whether this attack on ukraine can be considered the most massive, perhaps, if not for the whole year, then for the last six months, for example? well , you and i have already experienced similar attacks, indeed, last year, when the enemy attacked up to a hundred missiles, they were actually launched against critical infrastructure, military, civilian objects and so on, so you can't say that it's something... for us, yes, because there

were attacks, combined, massed, with such a large number of different means of air attack, they were last year, we remember it well, but today... well , it is more lively, let's say, informing the public and telegram channels, in particular and our is reported to people, so we have more information, and perhaps this is actually what causes such attention of people that this is the most massive conclusion, now we will repel the attacks further and by the results we will already see how many missiles flew, how many were destroyed. and drones, shaheds, which preceded missiles, and cruise missiles themselves. in addition to cruise missiles, drones, as you have already noted, s300 missiles, anti-aircraft guided missiles, as well as kh22 missiles, possibly kh32 missiles, because there are also such missiles for

tu-22m3 bombers, were also used, so plus they reported about ballistic, yes aeroballistic daggers and ballistic ee from crimea, that's why we have them here now. sum up all this, wait for the actual results and let us know when they will be available. mr. yury, this is the tactic used again by the russian federation, the forces of the russian federation, when first they launch drones, then missiles, this is a test of air defense and probing where there is air defense, where there is no air defense, or for this, why is this happening? for testing, probing, exhausting, yes, they use daily, and nightly, or rather attacks, they do it actually constantly, with the same... with the shaheds, here it is actually a mass attack, which is, well, how, like in israel, do you remember when a large number of air attack vehicles flew at the same time, when the air defense forces itself was so heavily loaded, and the work, well, such

a load on the work of the air defense forces, well, in simple words, at least you have to have time to reload the missiles, when a large number of air attack vehicles are actually flying, therefore... a really large number of air targets, when enemy rap works, aerial targets different, you understand, the parameters of the drone are the same, there are speed, flight height, missiles, others, then we already see ballistics, and dwarf missiles, which the enemy has not used for a long time, in early december, after a long pause of three months, at the beginning december, the enemy launched 19 such missiles, half of which flew to the dnipro, half to kyiv. well, this time we already see a large number of missiles, i want to say that the indicators were red, in fact, well, the monitors, let’s say this, in fact, they were scattered all over ukraine, they actually flew in a roundabout way routes, some rockets just

flew in a circle, then they already entered their target, so the enemy, well, these are typical attacks for them, for cruise missiles and shaheds that the occupiers used, mr. yuri, well, the question is... from the people, as they say , of course, earlier, when the attacks were in the khmelnytsky region, for example, then the target of the russian forces could be the airfield, which was talked about so much, if we talk about today's attack, that is, we can say that they were targeted in general, i don't know, there by residential quarters and so on, that is, there was no military specific targets in the russian federation, well, we can't say definitively about it now, if these, if the target goes astray, yes, then obviously we won't know for 100% where the targets went, we can draw conclusions. the enemy, well, according to the arrivals, if there is an arrival at this or that object, then you can already conclude that they aimed there, but there are also such things as ulankas, don't forget, ulankas are different, i always talk about this , which is flying, it seemed to be hit, the rocket flies even hit, it is

a large mass of metal, burning, fuel, rocket and so on, and plus maybe explosives still be, well no... not the asset did not explode like that in the air, that is, it was not deactivated and thus could cause such a fall of the remains of these missiles, serious consequences below, so the air defense work, even if successful, could have the following consequences, which today including, let's conclude, what is the situation now, are there still russian missiles in the airspace of ukraine, what is known and what can and cannot be published, let's once again remind those viewers who watch us, who read in particular and telegram channel. well, at the moment, for the most part, i have not seen indicators in the airspace, but if the map remains red, then it is obvious that there is a danger, because there was information about the presence of tu-22m3 aircraft in the air, well, it is not excluded, it is also possible to repeat some launching

the same daggers, you understand that if there is a large mass attack, yes, then all means are used, including eggs, the dagger flies very , very fast, so now it is necessary for all the services, everyone... who gives us information to quickly verify in because the danger has passed and then the rejection signals will sound, well, what can you do. we have already reported many times that if our anti -aircraft defense is working, there are launch sites, these launch sites, well , from large cities it is possible to trace, from balconies and so on, and to photograph and provide the enemy with information, respectively, which he will use so that later to destroy our air defense there and so on, for the enemy, our air defense is like a bone in the throat, they will look for it, because the air defense protects. all of us today. thank you, thank you very much, mr. yuri. yuriy egnat, the spokesman of the air force of ukraine, from

the current information, we are waiting for official data on how many missiles were launched on the territory of ukraine, what was shot down, and where there were hits. thank you. well, more than 10 explosions rang out in kharkiv and the suburbs, as a result of the russian, russian federation strikes , one person was killed, and eight more people were injured. mayor ihor terikhov told about this in the national marathon news. according to him, as a result of the poshko blows. buildings, hospitals, schools, residential buildings, new branch post offices, manufacturing enterprises. employees of the state emergency service are sorting through the rubble of a 35-year-old man who died as a result of rocket attacks on kharkiv, oleg syniguba, the head of the regional military administration, said. as a result of rocket attacks on kharkiv , a hospital building was damaged in the kyiv region. this was already announced by the head of the police of the kharkiv region , volodymyr tymoshko. mayor terikhov wrote that kharkiv was fired upon by two types of rockets. cs-300 and x-22. lviv was attacked by rockets and rockets, we expect ours to be activated

correspondents who are at the scene of the events, and the head of the regional military administration, maksym kozytskyi, in his telegram, also published a video that he is already at the site of the residential quarter that was affected by the blast wave, according to his data, there is destruction and there are victims, there are no victims at this time , i will only note that the information is constantly updated in real time, only verified data, we try to provide you, inform you, so... stay with us, and write in the comments what you know, what is the situation in your city well, the destruction of the kakhovskaya gs dam on june 6, 2023 delayed the crossing of the dnipro by the defense forces of ukraine. the american institute for the study of war came to this conclusion. the ukrainian counteroffensive has certainly become one of the most discussed topics this year, and we will also talk about it, because it was discussed not only in ukraine and russia, but also in the united states and other ukrainian allies. yevhen dykiy, international expert, scientist, veteran of the aidar battalion. joins our broadcast these seconds, mr. yevgeny, i welcome you, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes

, thank you for joining in, well , let's start with the missile attack on ukraine, which actually is still red, that is , the threat is still ongoing, how do you explain it to yourself, i don't know, the answer is conditional feodosia, as already started to be written in the comments, honestly , this is impressive, this is the impression that you and i are talking a year and a half ago, but in reality there are still people who are not used to the fact that the russians hit... us when they they can do it, so far, well , come on, you really are still looking for some complex connections, the answer for this , the answer for this, there is a war to destroy our country, they are doing everything they can to destroy our country, and what exactly they do and what they don't do is determined solely by , what they are capable of doing at a specific moment, and what they are not capable of, that's all, do n't look for another logic, there is none, the logic of war is absolutely enough, they are waging a war with the aim of destroying ukraine, they, don't confuse

them with some israel over there, who plays some kind of complex game there in response to others the actions of terrorists are struck by a single point strike, then another, let's say a balance, they don't touch, they don't touch and so on, here is a completely different situation, during the second world war you would consider each specific strike in... au2 as the exact answer to certain actions, well, no, how many of us can hear that? that is, if we follow this logic that russian forces strike ukraine when they can do it, that is, it turns out that they have accumulated a certain number of missiles that could be used, here is a combination of factors, to accumulate the number of missiles, in this case, since the strike, unfortunately, is very competent, the strike is combined, because cruise missiles, and ballistics, and missiles, and... 300 for front-line cities, so for in order to make such a combined strike, you have

to accumulate it all at the same time, and it is released at a very different pace, with different interruptions, so yes, they can make such a combined strike, well, once every few weeks, well, actually this time, actually they didn't touch us for a couple of weeks, mr. yevgeny, the next for 20 minutes, we will be co-hosts of this broadcast with you, because we will also turn on correspondents in parallel, in these minutes, halyna trishchuk, a correspondent of radio liberty from lviv on... will tell us about the situation, the city was also affected by the russian attack. halyna is joining our broadcast, we are waiting for it to be installed, yes halyna, congratulations. now i 'm over, now i'm at the place where the russian rocket fell, it's a residential area, behind me you can see a residential building, in which the windows are almost completely broken in the windows, on the right is also a residential building, here we see a school, on the left a kindergarten, then again a school, at the moment we cannot say either

about the number of victims, or whether there are dead among the residents, actually as a result of the fall. rockets, as you have to go around almost every residence to see if people are there. nearby, i can now see andriy zakaliuk, this is the head of the department of education, andriy, please tell me if there are actually victims in schools, in kindergartens, and what is the situation? thank god, there are no victims, because actually there were explosions, now it's vacation and since the very morning, therefore, accordingly , there was no one in the premises, therefore there are no victims, in fact, in educational institutions, all the more so. there is a shelter in the school, the shelter was open , many residents were in shelters, but one school was very badly damaged, in fact , all the windows were completely blown out, the doors inside, the neighboring school, kindergarten and another school also had their windows completely blown out. thank you, eh, i also spoke with the head of the lviv region maksym kozytskyi, and he also could not confirm the number

injured people, and there are still dead, that is, the information will be available soon, after 20-3 minutes. and we will inform you in more detail on the radio liberty website. we haven't had time to communicate with the residents of the building yet, but as i've already heard, people actually pulled each other out of the entrances, that is, not everyone went down to the shelter today. also, the medical facility, which is located nearby, he survived, as far as we know, at this moment. colleagues, and galina, well, i have to add that maksym kozytskyi has already officially announced that as a result of hitting it is housing. house on khotkevicha street, there is one dead person and three wounded, as of now the information is being supplemented, another question for galina, you said that not everyone went down to the shelters, actually people from what you managed to establish, but did these shelters work , this is actually a difficult topic not only for lviv, but for all ukrainian cities, and we know that people often complain on social networks that the shelters did not work, what do the locals say? it is difficult for me

to tell you about it now, but since there are schools here, so are educational institutions, and so is andrei zakalyuk said that the shelters were here from... opened, so it's quite difficult for me to say that everything around was open, but even if people had gone down, let's say to the basement, then there would not be such problems as we see now due to the impact of a russian missile, here next to me, we can show you with the operator, you will see the eruption from the russian missile, it is still smoking, and here we are, now let's run up so as not to take up a lot of air, here you can see the remains, here, crushed cars , i don't see any fast ones at the moment there is no help, so there are already people who don’t, there is an ambulance nearby, on the right next to another house, but i don’t see anyone being taken out of the people, a lot of cars are damaged, this is the situation, let’s go and ask people about what they experienced and what they know at this moment, thank you very much, galina,

galina trischuk, a correspondent of radio liberty, in fact from the epicenter, where the russian missile hit, where the street. fell on a residential area, we will keep our finger on the pulse during this broadcast and will return to activations operatives regarding what is happening in ukrainian cities, yevhen dyk is in touch with us, mr. yevhen, the question of strengthening ukrainian air defense comes up, and when, for example, ukraine's partners there will see what happened today, when residential areas were affected , medical institutions, schools, is this strengthening possible, is it possible to move even more in the direction of strengthening the air defense system of ukraine? yes, i think that just, well, every such ... blow will lead to a backlash, that is, something else will come to us, well actually, air defense has been going quite a lot for us lately, it’s just that everything rests on the fact that the country is also big, the country is big, it needs to be covered, it’s really, well, not enough in terms of the number, moreover, of various means of air defense, because they work for us also very diverse means , and there is no universal system that would

intercept everything, but for the fight against the shaheds , it is one story, for the interception of cruise missiles , it is a little different. well , actually, there is very little that can shoot down ballistics, so what you have on the screen right now is just a typical job of a mobile group specifically for the shaheds, and for the shaheds this is really the most optimal option, there is a large number of such mobile groups with machine guns, well , ideally also with portable radars, although at the extreme it is possible to work with searchlights as in the second world war, but it works with the shaheds, already with the wingmen. missiles, it doesn't always work, usually you need at least manpads, that is, portable, portable missiles that can be shot down, i had one of my former fighters zaidaru shot down by a stinger at the very beginning of the war. in x101, that is, that is, in in principle, it works like this, although it is more complicated , well, actually, ballistics is a completely different story

, ballistics, unfortunately, we only intercept patriot and sampti, but out of everything we have, sampti, we have one battery of patriots, or something three or four in different ways, regarding the ballistic stocks of the russian forces, how can they, let's say, often produce these missiles in order to attack ukraine with them, well, the ballistics in... and the good news is that they they are now producing almost none, their production rate of daggers and iskanders is... less than 10 units per month, but at the same time, last year they greatly depleted the stocks that were made before the war, there were not so many of them, and therefore

actually they cannot afford to shoot more iskanders and daggers than they produce during the same time , that is, five or six pieces per month is their maximum, and a completely different story is also ballistic, but, unfortunately, much more massive, it is the use of anti-aircraft systems s300 and s-400, not for their intended purpose, as ground missiles -land, use in general, it is regularly foreseen during the development of these complexes, although the accuracy of hitting, well, unlike iskander and kenjal, which are quite accurate, although again the concept is quite accurate in the russian version, it is, to put it mildly, not a highly accurate weapon, yes, a300, c400 when working on ground-to-ground targets, they are generally a plus... that is, it is not for hitting points at all, it is precisely for the purpose of simply giving nightmares to some cities, but the problem is that

these they really have a lot of missile complexes, a lot, well, in fact, the number is in the thousands, ah somehow modify, i don't know, somehow improve these missiles so that they bypass modern air defense systems, it is possible, or even modern western air defense systems , about the s300, about the s300 s4. unfortunately, they do not have such a problem. the s300 s -400 is used for short-range strikes, up to 200 km maximum, usually even closer, and the flight time at these distances is so short that in fact, to be honest, the s300 s-400 missiles, well, should be considered uninterceptable , it's just simple no one has time to work on them, well, the flight time is about a minute. mr. yevgeny, stay with us, i will remind you. to the viewers that during this broadcast we are promptly activating various ukrainian cities, there was a massive missile attack on the territory of ukraine, today lviv was hit in a residential area, other cities

are also receiving reports from there, there are a large number of victims, so we will promptly activate, stay, and mr. yevhenn will still have questions that i announced from the very beginning, the ukrainian counteroffensive was essentially one of the most basic topics on the battlefield, and not only on the battlefield, but also in a political, diplomatic sense, now at the end of the year, how can you sum up what mistakes... i don't want to say mistakes, but surely mistakes were made there for for example, the ukrainian side, if they were from your point of view, and what mistakes in general on the battlefield there i don't know, or not mistakes, the russian side made while preparing to repel the ukrainian counteroffensive? i would say that the story of our offensive is not about mistakes at the front, that is i would just say that at the front our army did much more and better than i would, for example, have expected from it, than i would have predicted in... given the resource that was given, that is a fundamental strategic mistake in the first place admitted by our western allies , who did not hear our

explanation last fall, let's say, they heard very selectively and very partially, among other things, this applies, in particular, to the media sphere, and in relation to the media sphere and society, it also applies to ukraine, just in ukraine, let's say it's not influenced the adoption. decisions, at the event influenced. last fall, we announced the plan for this offensive, this is an article by two generals of the zaborod region in september of last year, and everyone heard this plan, where we want to go, what we want, where to cut off, but here is the fact that there was already an absolutely clear list , what resources we need to implement this idea, this was heard very selectively, in fact , these things are absolutely inextricably linked, well, let's take a second. let's forget about the war, but imagine that you are simply assigned some project in the media sphere, in you have a calculated resource that you need for this project, and you have a calculated

timing of this project, that is... when, what you plan to do, after that they approve the project, they say, yes, you have to do all this, but allocate 15% of the resource that was planned, and the supply of this resource instead of three months is stretched to nine, and this is exactly what our allies did after our offensive, they heard the plan, they said: oh, class, well done, we we support you, do exactly that, we will help you, but we will help you in... c as a result, it turned out that parts of the types of weapons we requested were not issued at all, and the other part was issued, firstly, much less than we requested, and secondly, with a delay of nine months. as a result, precisely in the spring , when our offensive was supposed to begin, we received , i will repeat the figure once again: 15% of the resource that was declared as necessary for this offensive, well, actually, taking into account how on, well , by the way, we ukrainians have our share.

they also did not complete the work in the same article by zaluzh zabrodskyi, except for the list there, how many guns are needed, how many tanks , everything else, there was also about the formation of 40, 40 infantry brigades, and this is already a question of our mobilization, as a result we formed 40 infantry brigades, but not by spring, by spring it was about half, that is in fact, we completed our part of the task by 50%, our allies by 15%, after that, for some reason , all the western media and politicians and... ukrainian body society, for some reason, at the same time believed that the aplanto should be completed by 100%, well, you know, that the arithmetic does not work, but at 15% of the resource, 100% of the plan does not is being carried out, i will quote general ben godges, the former commander of us forces in europe, who stated quite bluntly that with the resources that the allies had given us, his army would not even be able to launch an offensive. we didn't just start it, we achieved

very significant successes. what i mean, the fact is that it was not possible to break through the russian defense line, it was not possible to reach the sea of ​​azov, but in fact the main dimension of the war is, as it does not sound scary, but killing, that is, destroying each other, and in this sense this year was absolutely perfect for us victorious, when we met the beginning of the year in defense, that is, enemy losses , for example in bakhmut, were correlated with us as one... to eight, that is , eight orcs fell for each of our defenders, and then we went on the offensive and it would seem that we should change roles , on the contrary, our boys and girls fought in such a way that for one of ours there were two to three of theirs, this is despite the fact that we were attacking, so the ratio of losses was one to two three during the offensive, well, this is a fantastic result in general, and technically up to one to five, that is and in fact, from the fact that towards the end of the year we are tired, a little out of breath, and we see that

we have... problems, that we have a shortage of both people and iron, we should not draw the false conclusion from this that everything is fine with our enemies , there are exactly the same problems , only scaled up, that is, we have bled their army very badly, in fact, this is the main task of the war, you have to kill as many enemies as possible and survive as long as possible yourself, this is a soldier's own job, yes but we did this work much more efficiently than our enemies and we have serious results, by the way, let's just look around for a second to evaluate the overall results of this. year, but less than two years ago, russia was deeply convinced that it was enough for them to start and in a few days they would occupy us, our wise western allies believed in us, they said that they would not occupy in a few days, they would occupy in three weeks, and most the ukrainians also believed that if the horde had already fallen, then in fact the discussion boiled down to whether we would be more heroic or less heroic in partisanship in the occupied territories,

where are we really? at the end of the 23rd year, at the end of the 23rd year, i'm sorry, but russia is very proud of the fact that it was able to stop our advance. the former superpower, the second army of the world , considers it a huge achievement after a year of fighting that they held back our advance and did not allow themselves to be thrown into the background, and in order to achieve such an ambitious goal, they had to go on the largest mobilization since the second world war. i checked, by the way, according to real sources. for any war there, neither in afghanistan, nor in chechnya, for any war after 1945, no the soviet union, nor russia, did not mobilize so many people, so they are the biggest mobilizers after didivali, and they were able to withstand the khokhlyat attack, well, sorry, we changed roles with them, if anyone did not notice, but they did not push so hard, there were not enough resources , both material and human, and now the task is to collect...
