in the month of january alone, the total export of oil products of russia decreased by 4% in one month, and the export of diesel decreased by 25% at first, and then in the month of march they completely banned the export of diesel, that is, they were even forced to ban one of the key sources of their foreign exchange earnings , in order to have enough diesel for their army, they already, after our first strikes in two months... of this campaign, they were already faced with a choice, diesel for currency or diesel for tanks, for both, and for that, they they don't have time to produce, that's why it's a very successful strategy, i hope that it will continue and develop, there is another interesting nuance here: we are primarily not hitting the tanks, because the tank is such a thing, well, it's a tin in in principle, it burns beautifully, yes, but we primarily aim at the processing columns, and the processing column. this is a very

complex, very expensive technique, and moreover , it was not produced in russia, and now even under normal conditions of restoration of such and such a processing column, as it is now is shown on the screen, so even under normal conditions, it would take six months or more to restore it, under sanctions, when a significant part of the equipment is simply not supplied to the russians, and not the fact that china produces analogues, because here it was precisely high-quality western , in this situation, the question is, is it even... in a year it is possible to restore it, so yes, we, like there with a tape column after a gas station, president zelenskyi, mr. yevgeny, announced the stabilization of the front and that the front line has stabilized, as and what can, in your opinion, destabilize again front? well, look, first of all, with all due respect to the words of the commander-in-chief, which in general correspond to reality, but still... the concept has stabilized, it should not

mislead, the russian offensive is still continuing, it has not stopped anywhere, it's just that recently they have managed to suppress very little, but their advance has been slowed down a lot, in many areas it has simply been stopped, but, excuse me, please be healthy, i will try, so their advance has been slowed down a lot, in many areas they have been released, but... far from all, in fact, both on the avdiyivskyi direction and on the bakhmutskyi direction, they even made some progress yesterday and today, just now not in kilometers, they are already very proud that they advanced 200 m on the bakhmutskyi, on the bakhmutskyi section, well, but they are still crawling, but in general , why was it possible to stabilize the front line, because it seems that it is called, god forbid, make no mistake, but it seems that one of our two most painful problems has been solved, you and i have said more than once in these ethers that we have two critical

problems on the front, it is a lack of shells and a lack of people, so the shells have arrived, already from many areas of the front, i hear that the situation has radically changed, the artillery has spoken again, the god of war has returned, it was extremely difficult to fight without artillery , and we survived several months of this shell famine, well, it was really, it was a different war, in fact, and arta returns, arta spoke again, and this immediately had a drastic effect precisely... on the pace of russian advance, it really decreased in times, we don't really know where the shells came from because well, the guys at the front are not told where they got the bk from, and in principle they don’t even care about that, the main thing for them is to use this bk immediately against the enemy, but let’s say this, there are reasons to believe that it’s done, as i’m joking, it’s done delicious czech dumplings, it seems that peter pavel not only found 800,000 shells for us, but also very... well played

the information support of this operation, the impression is that while there they are collecting the entire amount, which is not even all the way to the end , it seems that they collected it, but that they did not wait for the collection there the entire amount, and they began to buy these shells in batches, and then they measured how much money they found there for 100,000, then they bought it and they left, meanwhile they are finally collecting it, and apparently the first batches just arrived and changed the situation, but answering to your question, is it possible... a change on the contrary for the worse, unfortunately, yes, because one of the two critical problems was solved: the shells appeared, but the people did not, but the shortage of people still remains a critical problem, and here i am to you i will say, i communicate, i communicate with boys, all the time from there, and now no one says anything about the shells, on the contrary, except for happy things, that oh, thank god, everything, there is a mouth, we live, but the question is, what do you have there in the rear with mobilization, what does your highness think there ?

i'm glad, but i'm actually asked about it every day. thank you, mr. yevgeny, for the conversation, it was yevhen dyky, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war. friends, we are working live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our... forms on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on youtube, please participate in our survey, today we are asking you about whether russian information and psychological special operations are capable of destabilizing the situation in ukraine, yes, no, this is the same question on tv, if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphones or phones and vote if you do you think that the russians are capable of destabilizing the situation in ukraine with their ipso (0800-211). no 0800 211 382 all calls to these numbers are free. next , we have ivan stupak, a military expert, a former employee of the security service of ukraine. mr. ivan, i congratulate you and thank you for being with us today. hello, welcome to the studio, thank you very much for inviting me. i will ask you as

a former employee of the security service of ukraine. so, can russia destabilize the situation in ukraine with its information and psychological special ops. walkie-talkies , as they are now quite actively talking about it in the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, if you ask the question yes or no, then yes, of course they can, and if you ask the question how strongly, there are already many, many components that are contained here, well, let's conceptually, they have opportunities, they have capabilities, especially since, unfortunately, we, ukrainians, give them many reasons, that is , many, many things. is done internally without the help of the russians, but they simply monitor the airwaves, monitor the public, they pull out the right problem, wrap it in the cover or wrapper they need, and throw it, return this ball again into ukrainian space, and then it explodes,

i.e. once again, there is capacity, but how much is another matter, some moments occur at the stage of just throwing in ukrainian information space, some moments, some operations. they go astray at the stage of distribution, then some , you know, proofs are revealed, i don’t know, objections are visible, and this is this, for example, this is last year’s shooting, or here you can see photomontage , photoshop, and of course, it was all a fake, it turns off, and some, unfortunately, some moments are apt, because they once again use internal problems, for example, the release of mr. zaluzhnyi, well, the russians did not have to invent anything here. additionally, they just used it, they they used ukrainian profiles of ukrainian people, they threw viral information, it spread, and of course the last thing i liked was from the russians, zaluzhny received a 53 million dollar payment to leave his position, and

so on and so forth, it's really it was already funny, well, they can invent a putsch, especially as part of a special operation called perun, because the main administration. proceedings of the ministry of defense indicates that this special operation aims to destabilize the political situation in ukraine and western countries, and this special operation, according to gur, is in an active phase and will continue not only on the day of the presidential election, or the so-called presidential election of the russian federation, it continues until june 30. however, against this background, we see how russian volunteers are preparing. before the presidential elections in before the day of the presidential elections in the russian federation, they attack the territory of the russian federation, what will be, or what are the consequences of this attack for putin and for russia, how vulnerable are the regions in russia with

from the point of view of conducting hostilities there, because hostilities are taking place there, where they are being led by russian volunteers who are citizens of the russian federation, they say that they are returning home. in order to, well, conditionally speaking, take part in putin's elections in this way. yes, let's note once again to your viewers, listeners, that there are no citizens of ukraine among the rdk, there are only russians, only with passports of citizens of the russian federation. it is important to note everything, so that there is no inspiration there, and it is the ukrainians who changed clothes, no, there, it is purely principled. as does it affect the kremlin? i think it doesn't affect much. i will explain why, because even if belgrade, i don’t know, was under constant fire there, so that it turned into kharkiv, the overwhelming majority of the population of the russian federation and maybe 90 percent sneeze at belgrade, everything is okay in moscow, everything is fine, they are preparing for weekend, they have a planned weekend, someone

will go on some kind of short-term vacation, everything is fine in st. petersburg, everything else, they just don't care about banal sneezes, but we have to understand this, the problem of the people of belgorod is problems... they they have to decide it, of course, putin has already reacted, and there are accusations, this and that, and unfortunately the attack was strong, rocket-like. unfortunately, the residential building was hit, unfortunately, people died, i think this was a response to the fact that this group entered from the territory of the sumy region, of course, it did not make a noise, of course it found cracks, but it is impossible to say , that the border is dirt, come in, whoever you want, no, well, it was serious work, the russians are also conducting work, they are concrete, they mine, cement, plus there are means of technical observation, cameras, sensors , garbage that record the potential advance and try to prevent such an advance

, that is, they found, now this group found a loophole, entered, two loopholes, entered, made a ruckus, destroyed some equipment , destroyed a certain number of people, well, people , of the russian military, and judging by this, they already retreated last night, because the video that we saw from the very morning, where the representatives, it seems that... dk was, well , some of them were in uniform, and they were holding the flag, were holding the flag, they say, we are here in tiotkin, but unfortunately, your fellow journalists sinter , they found out, they say, yes, no, it’s not, it’s not russian, it’s not a russian village, rural, as they say, but literally a couple of kilometers from the border, it’s the territory of the sumy region, i think , that is precisely because sums were coming from the sumy region, unfortunately, and arrived today, as you already mentioned, mr. ivan, putin commented on this situation with the event... of russian volunteers on the territory of the russian federation, he said about the fact that,

they say, in this way ukraine is trying to prepare some territories, or seize them territories for future negotiations, in order to trade territories, to what extent is this possible from the point of view of keeping these territories under the control of ukraine? unfortunately, no, unfortunately, it's impossible, i'll explain why for now, we'd like to, well, of course , it looks great in theory, so we've captured it here. aunt, yes, give us zaporizhia aaz, we captured glotvina, some settlement, give it, give us skadovsk, of course, it won’t be like that, unfortunately, once again, the russians are mathematically more, on their territory they they can tighten up, if they liberate their territories there and the russian guard take something away from moscow, of course very carefully there, they can remove some reserves from the front and push them out, because we are not talking about the calculation of thousands of servicemen of the rdc and the russian freedom legion. there are hundreds, and there are literally a couple of hundreds, they are not so

many, as far as i am concerned, two great achievements could have been in such a special military operation, which is conducted by the radio television of freedom of russia. first, they enter the territory of arefia, local communities, their citizens they meet, they say: "we're all here, we 're tired of everything, please give us your blue tape, because it will also be our identification marks, wrap with tape, plus yes." give us small arms, give us grenades, a tank, explosives, we will fight with you, if necessary, we will return to ukraine, and then we will enter again, and each such liberated settlement, liberated village, village will increase the number of supporters of this organization, super, the ideal option, but unfortunately, it is not very well implemented, the second an option that would also satisfy us quite well is the reaction of the russian military command, they see that a complete mess, i apologize, is happening on the border, by the way... such a small offtopchik, literally a month ago, in this very location, not even

yes, a month ago in his telegram channel, the head of chechnya, ramzan kadyrov, he tells, my brother islam, aguev, aguev, he is here in the belgrade region, he opposes the ukrainian drg, tatara-banderyts, well, this is the whole story, a delusion, but when the rdk came in, then no one saw these chechens. wanted, they even wanted to shout: brother, islam, where are you, well, why don't you meet us, in general, we walk here, and none of you are there. and now, returning to the second option, which would also satisfy us, this is when the russian command, the general staff, seeing the whole story, the whole cataclysm that is happening, would force them to withdraw, for example, from the kupinsky direction reserves, i don’t know, there 2, 3 , 5,000 military personnel and send to kursk, belgorod, bryansk. for strengthening, that is, our military did not immediately felt relief at the front, but

the potential offensive that the president was talking about could either be avoided completely at some planning stage, or reduce its probability, while they took those forces there, tanks, aviation and so on and so forth. well, against the background of how russia is trying to fight against russian volunteers, president putin again began to... threaten with nukes, or rather, not even threaten, talk about the fact that we have the strongest triad, it is much stronger than any other - which country of the west, in that among the united states of america, and...

in general, we have approximate parity in carriers and charges, but we are more modern, everyone knows this, experts all know, if experts know everything, and even more so in the united states of america, they definitely have complete information, who is putin telling all these fables? look , i'll explain, if i'm not mistaken, that's what mr. president wanted to say. by the way, it was grounded, if you look again, he clung to the chair of the grounding so that it wouldn't shake, probably from the words he was saying, he forgot about china, china also has such a triad, i will remind your audience what a triad is, it is the ability to carry nuclear weapons by airplanes, submarines, and this is the big story about the warheads that are in the ground,

when it opens, here, and i don’t know, the doors can be called multi-ton and missiles takes off, that’s what it’s called , and what did he mean by the fact that it’s all modern there, he’s right, the americans really only know about it, but they know why, not because they have modern intelligence, precisely because that until recent years there was a joint agreement about control over nuclear weapons from the side, well, between the united states and the russian federation, several times a year the specialists of the united states and russia went to each other, well, let's say, visited and monitored the warheads, they checked. the carriers checked the indicators there, each warhead was identified, each, well, each side informed each other, they say there, listen, wait a second, for example, the americans, that’s how we have it in kansas, for example, we export there on a scheduled basis, and i don’t know about ventilation of a nuclear warhead, and we just let's drive back and forth and at dinner we'll come back so that you don't

think about anything there, just like the russians, that we 're taking these warheads out somewhere in yakutia for a walk, let's air them out and bring them back now, there's no such deal, that's it, it's closed, the russians left, that's all, they don't allow it. now with regard to modernity, the americans really know this again, but we must understand how valuable this story is about keeping in proper condition, in proper quality, in proper technical condition, the russians have an average of 1,500 warheads in active condition, which even now they are taking, clings and then throw it, and in total there are about 600 of them, for example, i give you such a number, and... the americans in order to maintain their mines in which these missiles are located, if i am not mistaken, these are minutemen, i will not regurgitate, maybe no longer they, but others , they spent, this work costs 7 thousand dollars an hour, in order to maintain these mines, this installation in normal condition, because they were made during the cold war, there is water, there are some frogs settled, something

is leaking there, there were even such cases when these people could not renew certain panels that are electric there, they turned to the company, they said: listen, guys, aha, you did something there 50 years ago, here at this address, please, you can pick up the drawings and make another such cabinet for us, because really , well, no one can do it except you, make such an exhibit, such a specimen for us , and they did, how the russians feel about it, no one knows, well, at least we will monitor how the rhetoric changes , because they sometimes threaten, then say that we are not ready, then we are still something, apparently they were just told that if you do this, you will get that, i think it was said directly, that's why putin is careful to speak, because the new york times wrote that in 22 the russians were going to use tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of ukraine, and today putin says: "no, no, no, we didn't even think about that,

why do we need it, so in principle there are no questions, and medvedev is running out there like a fool." says, well, i have nothing to do with it, he says, well, roughly like this, yes indeed, but let me be literal again let me clarify, as far as we know, the russians really had such intentions to strike ukraine tactically with nuclear weapons, well, as we can already see, it was influenced by the quick, well , rather quick repulse of russian troops from kyiv, this is despite the fact that the best of the best came in, equipped, trained, they had been learning to kill for decades. yanukovych, sivkovich, tabachnyk were already brought in, they lived in the kyiv region, in sukhalukha, they were waiting for when they should go to kyiv and start governing, it all happened... then they quickly expelled from the chernihiv region, sumy, kharkiv offensive, well , the repulse of the russians plus the liberation of kherson, and the russians really got this idea, that's all,

they need to be fried with nuclear tactical weapons to stop this advance. in the 23rd year, when our advance, our counteroffensive failed, this story came to nothing, because, well, yes, it is possible to restrain the ukrainians with classical conventional weapons, and what... there is a danger, i don't i'm talking about the fact that putin can hit with that big nuclear warhead, like kherasima, it’s just that the soviet union at one time very actively experimented on the topic, and where else can we stuff a nuclear charge, into which weapons, not just big rockets , let’s put it in a mortar mine, let’s let it be an artillery shell, let’s let it be a torpedo , that is, the same carrier remains, but there is a nuclear charge, and here we can conditionally again... compare, for example, one nuclear projectile, it creates the same effect as, for example, i don't know, a hundred ordinary projectiles, who shot at the same location,

that is, conditionally, once again very approximately, what they did with marinenka, it can be said like this, one or two tactical nuclear charges, but in principle, this is a plus or minus for the fact that they are what they wanted to achieve, thank you, mr. ivan, for the conversation, it was ivan stupak, a military expert, a former employee of the security service of ukraine, friends... we are conducting a survey on our airwaves, today we are asking you about whether the russian ipso is able to destabilize the situation in ukraine, why we ask about this because today the main intelligence department of the ministry defense ministry of ukraine announced that russian propagandists are preparing a special perun operation to destabilize the political situation in ukraine, and therefore we ask you, what do you think, is russia capable of shaking the situation, destabilizing the situation in ukraine? at the expense of the information and psychological special operation, if you think so, vote, or vote with the appropriate button

on the youtube channel, no, well, also the button no, if you watch us on tv, yes 0800-211-381, no, 0800-211- 382, all calls to these numbers are free, call us, it's important to know your opinion next, we have a political analyst on call. as expert volodymyr tsibulko, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, putin once again stated that he is ready for negotiations regarding the future of ukraine and regarding future guarantees, whether to putin personally, he i did not clarify whether the guarantees are specifically for the state of the russian federation, but these guarantees must be clearly spelled out. let's listen to what putin said. we are ready for a serious conversation, and we want to solve everything conflicts, and even more so, this conflict - by peaceful means. but we must clearly and clearly

understand for ourselves that this is not a pause that the enemy wants to take for rearmament, but this is a serious conversation with security guarantees for the russian federation. we need guarantees, and guarantees must be spelled out. should be such as to suit us. mr. volodymyr, this is a being who would violate absolutely all written and unwritten rules, all guarantees given by the russian federation, including the budapest memorandum, and now he wants some guarantees, what guarantees does putin want? first, he wants, let's say, to secure the stolen property for himself, and secondly, to avoid court proceedings. follow-up, let me remind you that yesterday the new head of the international criminal court was just elected, and she is a representative of japan, she was the one

who issued the warrant against putin. during the recent events, by the way, two more russian generals, more precisely, one admiral, the other general received warrants from the international criminal court, so putin is obvious. with this interview before a quasi-election or pseudo-election, he still has to to reassure his fellow citizens, because no one in the world believes him and his eyes are all verbal diarrhea so to speak, i.e. the word eruption, they are of no interest to anyone, if putin really wants a peaceful process, he should simply withdraw his troops from the territory of ukraine. to go beyond the constitutional boundaries of the current ukrainian state, so in your opinion, is this statement

directed? rather for the internal consumer, or after all, these are the statements that he makes, including, i made in an interview with tucker carlson, they are almost identical to these statements that he constantly asks for some negotiations and some guarantees, well, the fact is that russian society is tired of war, ukrainian society is also tired, only we have no choice, we have to defend ourselves, otherwise we will all perish, if ukraine does not resist, but... in putin, well, putin perfectly understands that this war is unpopular among his population, but he needs to draw from balda some kind of election result now in order to show that it is not he, this, it is his population that sent him to war against ukraine, that is, he, he, perceives these elections, quasi-elections, pseudo-elections, as a mechanism

for, well, i would say. redistribution of blame between himself and his unfortunate people. ukraine is preparing a peace summit based on zelensky's peace formula, and categorically, ukraine officially denies the possibility of russian participation in this summit. zelensky met with erdogan. erdogan said that we will provide a venue for this summit. now, what rijep-taper says. he doubts the expediency of the global peace summit planned for this year, although he is talking about switzerland without the participation of russia and warnings against the expansion of the war, quoting erdogan, expressing our support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, we have already said that peace plans that exclude russia will not yield any results, we are working to restore the safety of navigation in the black sea and

ensure safety. grain trade, we believe that steps should be avoided that would exacerbate conflicts in the region and also spread to nato. in what way, in your opinion, can russia join the discussion of this peace formula, or this one is the formula completely unacceptable for putin, because he has his own formula for these future negotiations? well, actually. everything will depend on the speed of the collapse of the russian economy, by the way, the ukrainian troops have done a lot in the last few days to make the russian economy collapse, in particular in terms of undermining the capacities of oil refineries, oil refining is one of the foundations, it is essentially a base for putin's military racket , therefore, in this sense

, ukraine is making very... powerful strikes on the oil refining infrastructure, i think that there will still be strikes not only on oil refining , but on all serious metal processing, well, but in fact the main source of budget revenues for the russian authorities is oil and oil refining, and now it is very important not only to block shipping for russia in the black sea. we have the right to this, since russia blocked grain transportation to us, which means we have the right to re-block their important ports, especially novorossiysk, where 40% of all transshipment of russian imports and exports takes place, so if in the next couple of weeks we block novorossiysk, and i believe that an attack on novorossiysk can be, if not a substitute for

, an attack on kerchensk. bridge , then with the continuation of the attack on the kerch bridge, that is , novorossiysk is asking itself, and on novorossiysk, russia will also receive counter-sanctions from other countries, because part of the oil that is transferred through the port of novorossiysk is not russian or even kazakh oil, although it is produced in kazakhstan, and this is the oil of international consortia, including american ones, and if russia does not... provide transshipment and transition of oil, then it will have serious problems, we have some problems with communication, now we will restore contact with volodymyr tsybulk, and in the meantime, donald tusk says that sanctions against russia should not be fictitious.
