a new week and we begin, khrystyna yatskiv and andriy smoliy, well, we are finally together, how many three weeks have passed, and we are finally returning to... our traditional format, when we are in the studio, when we have guests, experts, and when the two of us here, actually on the air of the espresso tv channel, analyze, discuss, say, unfortunately, the new week started today, to put it mildly, it is very difficult for our country, for our energy industry, for our people, sad, difficult, but somehow there was no... we must hold on, we must continue to fight and we must understand that a terrorist can

actually be defeated only on the battlefield, so we hold on and start a new week, well , we start with a survey, as always, we remind you that your opinion is very important to us, so join us, today we ask you what you think of telegram as a source of information, as a... a little box with sources of information. do you think it is necessary to regulate the activities of telegram? if so, please call for free. 0800-211-381. if not, then 0800 211-382. all your calls will be free, but your opinion is invaluable to us. well, as you understand, we are asking about telegram, since the founder and curator of this social network has been detained. in france, it even forced the russians to protest, but

not against their own regime, but to - what is the french embassy there, it seems that they brought some white planes there, that is, these protests are okay for them, but a protest against the war is not, no, fine , then this is the question, we will return to it with andriy in the second part of our conversation, i think that now it would be fair to thank the air force, the armed forces of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine in general, for the way they worked today. one of the most massive and combined, in fact, i want to say that the air force called it, and i quote, the most massive air attack, and why is it the most massive, because in fact 236 means of destruction were used, you can just imagine this array of shaheds, missiles of various absolutely kind, and according to those data that appeared not. recently shot down 102 missiles out of 127 and shot down 199 shaheds out of 109,

so we can only imagine which a huge number of targets were engaged this morning, this night, and by the way, during the day the enemy continued to terrorize our country with shaheeds, so the alarm was also almost the longest overall of all time, if we are talking about a large-scale alarm, and probably really it is worth starting with this topic, especially since the target of this strike was clearly again energy objects, generating or distribution, this is already a question for analysts, especially sensitive, in my opinion, is the question of the kyiv hydroelectric power station and the dam, about which many were worried, but the center of opposition and misinformation and at the nsdc says that everything is calm here in this sense, i would like to remind you

that what maria zakharova said about the kyiv hpp, in particular, literally a month ago, we will remind you, but first we would like to say hello to our esteemed guest oleksandr kovalenko, the military-political commentator of the information group opposition mr. oleksandr, congratulations, glory to ukraine, to the heroes of glory, congratulations, good evening, so, a month ago, the spokeswoman of the ministry of foreign affairs of the russian federation. stated that ukraine is planning to destroy the dams of the kyiv hessian kaniv reservoir and accuse this russia. let's listen to this person. the results of the analysis showed that in case of overflow of the kyiv reservoir, the area of ​​flooding will be up to 2 thousand km, 76 settlements, not buildings, settlements may be under water. at the same time , the greatest damage will be caused to

the district of kyiv located along the besna and dnipro rivers. well, mr. alexander, i would like to start with you, of course, with the massive attack that took place today, which lasted for many hours, how do you generally assess whether it was expected for our country, and probably the next question is whether to expect... something similar, less, more or the same scale in the next period of time, because some analysts say that russia is ready, conditionally speaking, in the next period of time to use either a similar amount, or less, but it still could, because they haven't actually

launched this kind of large-scale attack in two months. the big attack was on the 8th of july and this particular attack that we can see it was preparing for the 24th of august, uh, that's it, everything we see was supposed to happen on the 24th of august on independence day of ukraine, but their schedule got twisted due to the fact that a number of operations were carried out by the defense forces of ukraine on the territory of the russian federation and the airfield. we saw how the airfield was systematically attacked by tactical aviation, strategic aviation, and they constantly had to move their planes, change the place of deployment of ammunition and so on and so on, that is, it still delayed it, did not give it the opportunity to carry out this strike precisely on

august 24, but in general, if you look at the period between eight. july and august 26, august, almost all of the ammunition that the russians had the opportunity to produce during this period in fully finished products at their factory to send to the airfields, then it almost completely coincides with the amount that was used, and therefore will there be such massive strikes from the side in the future russian occupiers, right? they will continue these massive strikes, but so massive, so big, they can afford it, depending on how their production works, so it's about once a month, once a month and a half, that's about of this scale, if we talk about the near future, the short-term perspective,

in the coming days they can carry out a reconnaissance strike, but with limited ammunition. much smaller, less powerful, but they can conduct it precisely in the format for reconnaissance activities, now they will draw conclusions, which objects they hit, which objects how damaged, and then maybe a second wave, even this night after 48 hours , after 72 hours it is still relevant, and they can implement such a pre-reconnaissance strike, but again still, focuses attention on a much smaller amount of ammunition, limited in number. this does not mean that ukrainians should be neglected, we go to shelter as soon as we hear an air raid signal. mr. oleksandr, i would like to return to the topic of kyiv eges. that is , taking into account how the spokeswoman of the ministry of foreign affairs zakharova pumped information about this topic and what happened today. can we talk about some kind of

planned russian provocation, specifically on... on the topic of hydroelectric power plant? it is quite possible, well, first of all, this is an object of energy infrastructure, and therefore there was a blow to it foreseen in any case, that is, the russians continue to strike at energy infrastructure facilities, at civilian facilities, at logistical facilities, and at airfields and so on and so on, that is, somehow nothing has changed in them, if we say about striking tv ukraine. they did not change the general concept, regarding the provocation, well, we saw that this was indeed the approach, and we saw that it was... uh, maybe there could be more than one, because some part of the missiles, it was shot down on the approach to kyiv, to kyivska street

oblast, so it is quite possible that a larger number of missiles were directed to the hpp, only the air force of the armed forces of ukraine can know this, and this is not yet a fact, because such missiles as hast-1555, krmb kalibr, they can change their field trajectory. that is, it can change in them and now it is the trajectory of the dniprovskyi, then oops, they changed it and are already heading, well, for example, somewhere in the direction of the ivano-frankivsk region, so there is also such a problem here, but in general they are definitely not easy yes no only because they hit the energy infrastructure, they hit the energy infrastructure, they struck this blow, i think that there will be something from this... these psos, one way or another, they will implement it both in their information space, yes and will try to integrate into ours. ugh. well, in their information space, they are already forming the opinion among russians

that this is the answer for kursk. well, beating civilians and this is just the pickering of shahed in a residential building in one of our settlements, that is, not the work of the air defense forces, obviously, it's not a mistake, excuse the words, but it's simple. they aimed a missile at a residential building, as i understand it, this is the height of cynicism. mr. oleksandr, a little, a little drop of this, may seem like a traitor to someone. today on the internet, ukrainians reflected a lot on the topic of the fact that russia fires missiles with american components, while ukraine still has not received permission from the united states to use, at least long-range weapons, on the territory, the sovereign territory of russia federation. what do you think about such a logical, in some sense, rhetorical question? i think that such strikes on the territory of ukraine, they only bring closer

the day when we will receive an expansion of the capabilities of striking on the territory of russia with western weapons, and an expansion of the nomenclature that can be used for these strikes, because it is this kind of terror that motivates. is to make relevant decisions of representatives of the congress, the senate, and so on and so forth, that is, it is diplomatic work, of course, but in addition to diplomatic work, it and the fact that western politicians use as a justification for making this or that decision, they, you know, i will call it that, they are all cautious as potential. the defendants somewhere in the court, that is, so that, when they are asked, why did you give this permission to ukraine to strike on the territory of the russian federation, and because

the russian federation committed such and such crimes on the territory of ukraine, ukraine, and they addressed this request, that is, for them there should also be such a fact, not only a request, so i think that in this case, the second stage of expanding our capabilities for strikes on the territory of the russian federation. it will still be there, one way or another, but we are also gradually increasing our capabilities, our own capabilities to strike on the territory of russia. today , an oil refinery in the omsk region is in trouble in russia. and there are rumors that one of the planes might have disappeared from the radar somewhere, and he definitely won't remember the markings. mr. alexander, do you have any information to refresh, or is it possible? it was a throw-in regarding that information , i don't have any verified, reliable information, but that domska, well, that's great, that's great,

2,500 km, that's already more than, you know, when the first blows were delivered at a distance of 1,600 km, 1,800 km from the border, and everyone asked, what's next, what? it is not autumn yet, but we are already talking about drones that can cover such a distance in our country, almost 2,500 km, that is, what will we talk about with you already in the fall, in october, for example, in november, about a drone that covers 300 km, well, russia itself will soon end, mr. oleksandr, by the way, in this context today... defense minister of ukraine rustem umyerov stated that there will actually be a response from russia for today's attack on both

the ukrainian energy system and the ukrainian one. civil facilities, we see what is happening in omsk, we see what is happening at other, including energy facilities, yes, in the russian federation, what do you think this comprehensive answer should be, these are strikes on energy, on the fuel complex of the occupier state, and what should we expect, because in any case... ukraine has the answer to give, and in any case it also has chambers in russia, and the rashists must feel what it is, in fact, a war, and must feel symmetrical actions on their territory, and well, on the one hand, i would now say something like we should accumulate 200,

300, 400, 500 drones there and launch them in a big swarm so that all the russians are scared, but in reality it is not quite so, it is not quite, it is wrong, and i will explain why, we still have different types of means air defense, we have a diverse air defense system, and in the case of russia the most effective is striking single targets, that is, there is not a large swarm of ... 1000 drones, but this is a limited number, 20, 30, 40, that is, in principle, within the limits in which we use them now, they have such a number that allows breaking through anti-aircraft defenses not to be noticed so much, and no, some of them will be destroyed, but some will still achieve their goal, and therefore the answer is quite possible, maybe even not... in

the traditional perception of such drone strike, although, on the other hand, i don't i rule out that a completely different means of defeat may be involved, the same drone is already a jet type, a clearing, because almost no one knows its characteristics reliably, they are not available in open sources, ugh, and how effective it can be in countering the russian one. .. air defense is also an interesting issue, so i can even make such an assumption that it will be polyanytsa's baptism of fire, but in a larger volume, on a larger scale. thank you, and to summarize at least with oleksandr kovalenko the topic of this shelling and the state of our energy industry, i would like to remind you about the world press, which in recent

weeks reported about... the possibility of some negotiations, mediated by qatar, as we understand, between ukraine and the russian federation regarding the prevention of attacks on energy facilities, and the russian federation refused any any contacts on this topic, due to the alleged offensive in kurshchyna. mr. oleksandr, regarding the situation in areas and sections of the front. given the way things are developing, some of the analysts point out. noticeable revival on in the ughledar direction, instead of fighting head-on and losing everything possible from the mechanized and not only, the russians allegedly decided to bypass this important, also in the logistical sense, settlement in the vodyanny district, which situation in general is now on the line of combat, which would can you spot the accents, please? well, at the moment when they have a problem in the kursk region,

they decided... to resume offensive assault actions precisely in the volodarsk direction, it is true, and for them the water is the goal, and why this one, because it is a settlement that is a little west of the route 0532, and it allows not only to cut this particular route, but also to make such a semi, to make a semi-envelopment from the north of the ugledar, and the ugledar can find itself in a situation where... the russians can start offensive actions both from the southern part , as well as from the north, i.e. hanging over the corner. ah, in general, they are now using the same tactics that they used before, that is, they are looking for such a mechanized column and are going to break through our borders. as of today, the situation.
