and this creates the possibility that the war has a chance to end, and there are no other chances in nature, this war will not end at the negotiating table. thank you, mr. vitaly, a sobering analysis from vitaly portnikov in the saturday political club, my name is khrystyna yatskiv, we will say goodbye to you on this, see you next saturday. the pride of muscovites, the sunflower burned, and rostov-on-don sank, what other enemy targets did our f-16 fighters destroy in ukraine, will the long-awaited birds change the situation on the front line, and the scandalous tender, who and how was going to profit from the reconstruction of ohmadit.

good evening, annaeva melnyk is with you. the espresso team will talk about the highlights of the week ahead. and i will start with the situation at the front. the most difficult thing now is in the pokrovsky direction. the russian invaders are transferring additional reserves there. the enemy is advancing from the advance to the west towards pokrovsk. in this direction, muscovites captured the settlement of vesele. according to deep state analysts , the occupiers are massively dropping guided aerial bombs on. positions of the defense forces. the general staff of the armed forces did not report the loss of vesely. in addition, enemy troops closely approached turkey. the advance of the enemy was recorded in zhelanny and zalizny, as well as near lysichny, ivanivka, and sergiyivka. fierce battles for our freedom continue. the russians exploded and burned all week. in the temporarily occupied crimea, the invaders did not count one rostovna missile-carrying submarine.

after all, it was destroyed by the defense forces of ukraine. as a result of the hit, the boat sank on the spot. also in sevastopol , the launchers of the triumf air defense system were significantly damaged. on saturday night , ukrainian drones attacked the airfield morozovsk, in the rostov region. our military took aim at warehouses with ammunition, where the aggressor stored, in particular, guided aerial bombs. defense forces also attacked a number of oil depots and fuel and lubricant storage facilities. rostov region. according to forbes, for the first time ukraine launched more long-range drones over russia than the occupiers over our territory. thus , in july, more than 520 ukrainian drones flew to the swamps, while 426 flew from there, only a strike on the olenya airfield 1,800 km away from the border proves that ukrainian drone manufacturers. are making great strides in

range. f-16 fighter jets are already in ukraine, but there are still not enough of them to significantly influence the course of hostilities, how many planes the defense forces can count on in the coming months, and what obstacles our country faces on the way to obtaining them, we will find out later. a turning point in the war with putin. with such loud words. reacted to the arrival of the first f-16 aircraft in ukraine, the former minister of defense of great britain grand sheps. however, the fighters already in ukraine, the bloomberg agency first reported. later, this information was confirmed by the minister of foreign affairs of lithuania, gabrielus lansbergis. the british publication the times clarified that six cars from the netherlands have arrived in ukraine, and another number will arrive from denmark in the near future. they even started in telegram channels. photos of planes in the ukrainian sky,

the authenticity of which is doubtful. the authorities did not officially confirm the arrival of the long-awaited boards, but did not deny it either. mykhailo podolyak, adviser to the head of the president's office , announced to the western media informational speculations. in addition to the war on the battlefield, in addition to the war in the air, there is a huge information war. in the matter of commenting as 16, perhaps we will not see official statements of either the general staff or the air force command, that's all. sometimes ukrainians learn about the use of these weapons on the battlefield. the provision of western weapons is kept secret, because any such information is carefully studied by the enemy and his plans for further strikes on the territory of ukraine are adjusted accordingly. ukraine asked western allies for modern aircraft in the first year of the full-scale war, but the united states and european countries refused, fearing escalation from russia. only in august 2023, after the unsuccessful

ukrainian counteroffensive, which took place in conditions of total air superiority of the enemy, the netherlands and denmark promised to jointly transfer 61 american aircraft to ukraine. f-16 fighter jet. prior to this, permission for the transfer was given by the producing country of the usa. later, the intention to supply f-16 to ukraine was also publicly announced by the governments of norway and belgium. delivery will be phased in over several years. according to western media, by the end of 2024, ukraine may receive about two dozen fighter jets. when president zelensky spoke about the need for 300 planes. solution broiv-16. strategic, the number is not yet strategic, they will definitely strengthen us, but will these aircraft be enough to fight on a level with the russian air fleet, i believe that

it will not be enough, are we counting on a larger number, yes, the number, the timing , infrastructure preparation in... all this information regarding the f-16 is classified. however, from time to time it seeps into the western countries. according to their information, perhaps the biggest problem of ukraine now is the small number of pilots who have undergone training, only about two dozen, as well as the low level of english among the pilots who are sent for training. because of this, according to the wall street journal, ukrainians first take english courses in france and great britain. and then they learn to fly in the usa, romania and denmark. president zelenskyi publicly called on the allies to expand the training program for ukrainian pilots. but pilots are only one of the elements necessary for the effective use of western aircraft in ukrainian skies. high

-quality runway, trained technical staff, powerful air defense to protect airfields. without all this, the f-16 will not be able to give results. not only we help train ukrainian pilots, there are other countries that support training, but not only pilots, but also maintenance specialists are being trained, it is not easy process. the united states, along with its partners , is working diligently to ensure that the ukrainians get what they need, and the goal is to deliver these f-16s this summer. the f-16 is a universal platform that can work both on... air and ground targets, it is the most popular fighter in the west. the expectations of many ukrainians from these aircraft are high, and sometimes exaggerated. however, ukrainian and western military experts are united in their assessments. f-16s will not be able to quickly turn the tide of the war in favor of

ukraine. there will be too few of them, and to theirs the appearance of the enemy is carefully prepared, accumulating missiles and planning to organize a hunt. realistic. the expectation from the f-16 is to strengthen ukrainian air defense, because they can effectively shoot down russian missiles and drones, as well as put an end to, or at least significantly reduce, the number of russian attacks by guided aerial bombs. it is this extremely powerful, albeit very inaccurate, weapon that allows the russians to advance in donbas. to launch russian s-34 and su-35 bombers from a distance of 40-70 km from the battle line. collision, because of this ukrainian air defense systems cannot reach russian planes, but the f-16 can do it. the psychological effect will be after we shoot down a few, well up to a dozen, i will say so, su-34x, after which the use of su-34x will simply stop, because

they only have a hundred su-34x left, but this is for the whole of huge russia, they will protect their planes, and this means that the first ten su-34x will be shot down and after that... the cabs will not actually be used. much depends on how the provided will be equipped planes in the west, and so far there are grounds for optimism. the already mentioned edition of the wall street journal claims that the us is ready to equip the f-16s provided by the europeans with modern weapons, in particular with missiles of the air- to-air class. in the future , the asc800 radar reconnaissance and control aircraft promised by the swedes will significantly strengthen the capabilities of the fighters. 90. we should not expect miracles from the f-16, but we can hope that the british ex-minister of defense sheps is right, and the first western fighters in the ukrainian sky will indeed become a turning point in the future moment in the war with the aggressor. mass attacks on

military vehicles, almost every night, unknown people destroy the cars of military personnel in various cities of ukraine. these crimes are usually committed by minors and... young citizens of ukraine, they are lured to this job by easy and quick earnings, for what price they perform the task of the russian special services, what punishment awaits them, natali will tell. old law. military vehicles are increasingly becoming targets for enemy-recruited pali. only in kharkiv region are known about four dozen similar ones cases the regional police managed to identify all the perpetrators. these are mostly young people aged 12 to 18. across ukraine, the age of criminals varies. 68 citizens now have the status of arson suspects. that's who you are. cases have recently been recorded in kyiv, odesa, dnipro, kharkiv, and lviv. behind them

are russian special services, which recruit ukrainians on job search sites, social networks, and messengers. people who are looking for quick and easy money usually fall on the hook, because russian curators promise from 20 to 80 00 for setting fire to one car uah but, as shown by... the detainees, none of them received such sums, as a rule, much less sums, then new and new tasks are set, then i want to emphasize here, they blackmail those of our citizens who will pass on information about their previous crimes to the national police of ukraine. on july 30 , a 25-year-old man and his 20-year-old roommate set fire to three cars of soldiers and... volunteers in the kyiv region. they filmed the crime themselves and sent it to the russian curator. for this

he had to pay thousands of dollars, but in fact, the suspects received half of the amount. also this week in kyiv there are three unknown properties, according to this it is actually working for the enemy. earlier, a whole group of six young men were detained in odesa. palies worked under the guise of courier delivery and established parking addresses. cars of the defense forces, so during the day they delivered food, at night they burned military cars, in total, the fire destroyed at least 15 cars. another 28-year-old man from odessa set fire to a servicewoman's car, the man was promised uah 80,000, but he received uah 937 and potentially 10 years behind bars, well, they took advantage of me, a fool, now i can. to sit in prison for 10 years after 937 hryvnias. according to law enforcement officers, russian special services

are using arson videos to destabilize the situation in ukraine. the purpose of all these actions of the special services of the russian federation is, first of all, to create an opinion in the ukrainian society about the existence of an alleged ukrainian underground, which opposes the armed forces of ukraine, who want the arrival of russians here. federation, and therefore they use the indicated facts in their russian propaganda. i want to tell you that we have not seen a single fact of a pro-russian citizen who burned a car of the armed forces, or a volunteer, or committed other acts of sabotage. such crimes are investigated by sbu and national police officers, as the same arson can be classified differently. depending on the circumstances, for arson of military property, criminals face up to 10 years in

prison. i emphasize that, for the most part, the destruction of war is again qualified under article 194, and if it is a military car that belonged to the armed forces of ukraine, of course, this registration follows article 114, part 1, countering the legal activities of the armed forces of ukraine. and in some cases, where there are more serious consequences, it is even qualified under article 258, as a terrorist act, or 113, as sabotage, since i want to remind everyone that in our country the age of criminal responsibility is lowered from 14 years to for example , a 35-year-old man from kyiv will spend eight years behind bars according to a court verdict. burned 13 military vehicles with homemade firearms . at the court, the man admitted that he had acted

on his own conviction. if curators and arsonists are to be identified and punished with an asterisk task, because they are all engaged in subversive activities on the territory of russia. our law enforcement officers mostly manage to find the perpetrators of the crimes themselves, following a hot trail. a scandalous attempt at fraud on the reconstruction of ohmadit. on july 8, the russians hit ukraine's largest pediatrician with a kha-101 missile. funds for recovery were collected all over the world, ordinary ukrainians, entrepreneurs, the cabinet of ministers and foreign donors joined in, they collected more than 1 billion 100 million uah, however the reconstruction tender was won by a dubious company with a charter capital of uah 500, which had neither its own construction equipment nor previously completed projects, and also offered one of

the highest prices among the other participants in the tender, after public... publicity, the minister of health i, the management of ahmadyto and the charitable foundation went to a press conference and announced that the tender will be canceled and will be held again through the prozoru electronic system, according to the rules of public procurement. every person gave gifts, and children came to me, who drank berasletics and brought money, and i say again, i am even harsh for those... people who went out to launder this money, i am ashamed for these companies that use this site, this opportunity to steal or make big questions for those companies that came out without tax certificates, and we write out the criteria and proceed according to

the procedure provided for by the current legislation, because the funds become exclusively... states, we dispose of them as provided for by the relevant regulations, and we announce through the prozoro procedure, the criteria for the announcement, who can apply, what the criteria for the contractor should be, will be indicated there, agreed with this supervisory review board, and plus we involve our developer in this process, the state enterprise for medical procurement, next week i promise to form... the audit supervisory board, which will include the largest benefactors, representatives of moz and okhmadit, its members will form the criteria for holding a tender, for which funds from the charity fund will be transferred to the hospital's treasury account. in general, the auction will last at least several weeks. at the same time, public activists are outraged whether there will be punishment for those guilty of

holding a dubious tender. five months after being wounded and amputated by... took his first steps on electronic limbs in february of this year, during a combat mission , serviceman ivan golyk lost both legs, and a month ago, the defender was fitted with state-of-the-art technological prostheses about rehabilitation at the anbroken center and dreams after recovery in the plot of my colleagues. ivan golik 41, he comes from truskavets. before a full-scale invasion, the man works. a construction worker in poland, but on february 25 , 2022, he returned home and, despite his wife's persuasion, immediately went to the military, where he was told to wait for his time, ivan joined the army on january 23. after 5 months of training and training, he started working in military intelligence, the man served

in zaporozhye and donetsk region. he was seriously injured in february this year. during one of the combat sorties he came under enemy fire. ivan and his brother decided to wait in dugouts, but a tank shell exploded nearby. two 19-year-old border guards who were in the dugout died immediately. three soldiers were wounded, among them ivan and his brother. well, it was lunchtime that they were still standing behind us, they died and their partner was torn away. and they are so that, well , the medicine there is already without strength, without feet and with numerous fragments in the legs, ivan put tourniquets on himself above the knees. all the time before the evacuation, which was more than 9 hours, the man remained conscious. he poured water on his head, killed the water, because he knew

to lose consciousness in such cases. fmetvaku had already lost consciousness. came to his senses in the dnipro. he told his wife about the injury on his own, although he said that he had lost his toes. however, in order to save the life of the severely wounded soldier, whose kidneys had already begun to fail, doctors had to amputate his limbs on rivne stegon. after long-term treatment in dnipro and kyiv , ivan was sent to lviv, to the anbroken center, for rehabilitation and prosthetics. the most difficult, the man says, was in the first days. after the amputation, yes, there is terrible pain, and i have it i felt it even more strongly here in lviv in the surgery, when i had the last three operations. there are already such painkillers, not powerful columns, here, here, only then i felt what phantom coils are. ivan has been working with the physical therapists of the anbroken center

for four months, they prepared the defender for prosthetics, and now they are helping him relearn walking on metal limbs. in fact , there were no difficulties with ivan in our work, that is, he is a patient who always comes to classes there, works out, i know that he can do it on his own... he has all the instructions, he himself knows that he needs it first of all, i only help, give instructions on the positions and he fulfills them. both of ivan's prostheses have electronic knee joints, thanks to which it is possible to reproduce the most natural movements. the cost of such modern technological prostheses is uah 1,200. they were installed thanks to the donations of ukrainians for the collection of the charity platform dobro ua, prostheses for the indomitable. all this time, ivan's wife and children were by his side, they, the man says, were and remain his greatest support and support. when asked what he would do first,

when he stands firmly on his new limbs and returns home, the man answers with a smile. i will go somewhere to relax with my family. up ema statnyk, roman kovalyuk, espresso tv channel. for more than two years, ukrainians have developed the habit of ignoring air warning signals, however, among a dozen non-combat flights of strategic enemy aircraft, one can be fatal. so many cities borrowed foreign experience and started installing modular shelters. however, our correspondents found out whether such initiatives took root. air anxiety in israel, and everyone rushes to shelters, because danger is very close. for a country that knows well what a protracted war is, the issue of storage facilities is effectively resolved.

in addition to underground shelters, in new israeli buildings, mamakas, fortified rooms in public buildings, and mamadas, fortified rooms in apartments, must be designed. a metal door that can withstand the blast wave if it is closed, even that sound. the reinforced concrete walls are 30 cm thick. the absolute advantage of such shelters is that you can move there in a matter of seconds. ukraine, which is also adapting to the challenges of a large-scale exhausting war, decided to borrow the experience of israel, but what happened? since 2013 , modular concrete shelters have been built in many cities of ukraine. mostly, these structures are installed near public transport stops and in other

crowded places, so that bystanders can hide as quickly as possible, at least from the debris. these buildings have such a thick wall that they are, so to speak, an anti-splinter partition. which protects people. currently, most modular shelters are available regions of the country, in particular in dnipropetrovsk region, donetsk region, kherson region, kharkiv region, kyiv region and even in rivne region. we checked several such caches in kryvyi rih, a city 60 km from the war zone. there are as many as 70 modular shelters in kryvyi rih, 10 for each district. according to data on the prozoro website, each cost a little more than a million hryvnias. in comparison with other cities in kryvyi rih they also saved money. in principle , kryvyi rih has one of the lowest prices, but this may be due to wholesale purchase, because on average one,

two, three shelters are bought in the country. if we have 100 million and that's with ramps, but in other cities it's 2, 3 million, 5 million, 6 million, that's the average price, there are also 500 to 800,000, but that's just one. cases and the size is unclear, but it seems that people do not hide here often, according to local journalist anton kravchenko, the situation with shelling in kryvyi rih is not critical, but there are really not enough shelters in the region, it is advisable to move these shelters, for example, kryvyrivskyi district , we have the village of marinska hrushivka, which is located right on the occupation line, this year they began to fly very actively with... drones, shelling, a woman was injured there last month, she flew to the shop two months ago to the gas station, and there

were would be very relevant, or... the best thing is that we have guys along the entire line, as if to buy, allocate for such things, while our situation is like this, it would be more logical, smarter, because in kryvyi rih they are not uses, our group visited three locations, talked to two dozen townspeople, however, we heard essentially the same answer, why do i believe in god, why, i believe in god, i don't even know what it looks like, it looks like, but here it is. bottles, in the other two shelters we still managed to get into the situation, but even there the fragments of glass are sadder, one is used as a public

toilet... and a local homeless man settled in the other. and it seems that this problem is not exclusive to kryvyi rih, our colleagues from sumy and dnipro also talk about the use of shelters for other purposes. modular concrete shelters can protect people from injuries from debris as a result of russian missile or drone attacks. however , we should probably still learn from the israelis to protect shelters from vandalism and consciously protect our lives. watch espresso, read our website, be sure to subscribe to our social networks, of course support the espresso youtube channel, stay close, for the best, there are discounts until independence day on estazifin 25% in pharmacies
