some special threats, precisely in connection with the fact that, well, i will say that in order to recognize a person as a mercenary, there are a lot of criteria, there are five, six, seven of these criteria, it is not so simple, and here, after all, the main thing is that russia considers all foreigners who come to them in any form as its hostages, and here the main criterion is the safety of those people, foreigners, who can serve and fly on... these planes, and such a vision, which, it's within the framework of what i'm saying, it's all based on a very to the old, old imagination of the united states, that, well, they don't need to get involved in other people's wars, and that's the main thing, as it happens, they shouldn't, not that there shouldn't be troops there, but shouldn't, americans, americans do n't , cannot take part in foreign wars without direct sanction, otherwise it drags on...

the state, except for the situation where there are direct, that is, direct alliance obligations, such as the washington treaty, the treaty with australia, new zealand, japan, that's where there is no such thing, there is such a rule that american citizens without a direct sanction, and i will remind you again, american legal entities, american defense companies without a direct sanction, cannot work somewhere in the conflict zone, what is the optimism here? there were reports in the summer that the united states, the biden administration, the current administration, is considering, for example, the possibility of american defense companies working on the territory of ukraine, that is, it is being considered, in the same sense, i do not rule it out, this is a question of the same level and the use of personnel for service and even pilots. i think that is the main criterion here after all, safety and that consideration, well, to what extent, how safe will the pilots be. to what extent

they will be protected from russian strikes, from russian agents, from russian influences, in general, this is a complex question, it is the key one, i think, if eh, well, after all, european pilots will appear first, but the united states has here to say the main word is that they agree with it in general, that is, you started to answer with the mention of mercenary, that is, in fact, this statement. american politicians, individual american veterans, military personnel who talk about the fact that they are ready to carry out combat missions in ukraine on f-16 aircraft. actually, it is precisely here that there are certain, let's say, legal restrictions, which seem to be strict, but on the other hand, quite blurred, and then your answer was precisely about the fact that it is necessary to find an option so that foreign citizens can perform service work there. and to fight on these planes in

ukrainian airspace, this is what is being said, and do such possibilities still exist or not? i think the possibilities exist, so i just wanted to say what it is is not related to the idea of ​​mercenary, those people who will fly in ukraine, linsigram called this formula: helping ukraine to defend freedom, it is not for money, but in mercenary there is such a key criterion that the main reason why people do it - it's for... no, the main thing here is not money, although money, of course, is important in any matter, mechanisms exist, and the main, main aspect of these mechanisms is their safety, just like how safe it is to deliver weapons, how safe spending american money by defense companies on the territory of ukraine and to what extent safe for american personnel and valuable personnel, i'll just remind you, the personnel are american, but... these are very valuable

personnel, and of course, such personnel are the first object, well, the priority for russian attacks, that's the main issue, i think as soon as they are resolved convincingly, our ukraine will give convincing guarantees that it is safe, everything else, all other legal and financial issues can be resolved, and finally i would like to ask the full... our profile topic of nuclear deterrence, the promotion of our troops in the kursk region and the discussion among various experts that, relatively speaking, such actions ensured, relatively speaking, the emptiness of russian nuclear threats, and on the other hand, russia again began to talk about revising its nuclear strategy, which now in this context is happening, is russia really starting to talk about revising its nuclear strategy in the context of the kurdish situation, or is that all? however, now the situation is somewhat

mirror-like, and russia, on the contrary, wants to remove such accusations in its direction regarding the potential the use of nuclear weapons, what's going on with that? there are several layers of layers of this problem converging at the same time, if we talk about rhetoric, it will change, if we talk about the criteria that are in the russian documents of basic, defense planning in the military plan, there are written criteria for the use of nuclear weapons, i think they are not very will change, they actually haven't changed since the cold war, the technological options are changing there, but... in general, the criteria remain public, what will definitely change is the rhetoric, that is the fact that many specialists, both political and military specialists, now see, is that nuclear weapons do not have a paralyzing effect, that is

, a rabbit from the sight of a zirudava does not create hypnosis on a rabbit, well, it simply does not, in principle , vietnam also showed this when china attacked him. and there were many less valid reasons to think so, but now we simply see, first of all, nuclear weapons did not paralyze ukraine's ability to defend itself, although russia directly spoke about it, if you stand there, you will not surrender to us, we will use nuclear weapons, no it turned out, and moreover, it turns out that nuclear weapons are not a guarantee against against. seizure of the territory, if it does not pose a threat to the very existence of the russian state, although we are now even, i think, what confuses the experts in the world, they do not know, what will happen if this non-nuclear invasion will pose a threat to the very existence of the nuclear

country of the state , the way russia is, whether it will use nuclear weapons or not, but we see it that here... these two aspects, they are refuted, that nuclear weapons paralyze the victim under attack, and that it protects a nuclear country from being invaded by any invasion, and there's a third aspect that i think everybody's waiting for, and it's going to be interesting for all of us to see, does nuclear weapons protect a nuclear country from falling apart, the russian, the soviet union it did not protect against collapse, although there are other countries that believe that the presence of nuclear weapons inside somehow protects the government and protects. territorial integrity from internal threats. oleksiy, thank you very much for these interesting nuances related to the acceptance of the russian nuclear threat. let me remind you that it was oleksiy yezhak, expert of the national institute of strategic studies. these were the main military results of that day. and then vasyl zima will continue the broadcast. so stay tuned

to espresso. thank you serhii zurts, thank you to his guest. we continue a lot today, oter is busy with us, there are many events, unfortunately, a tragic event in lviv, which we will talk about, well, but now we will collect for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine, because when the armed forces have something to beat the enemy, there is more hope for victory in this very terrible war. tv channel espresso and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigade, as well as for the 110th and 47th. organized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine. the defenders in the donetsk direction every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. all details

that august, when it was, a few weeks ago, when they aimed at the kyiv embankment, one rocket fell into the dnipro, and another damaged it there, well, but again after all, this is not three quarters, this is a blow to civilians, yesterday, when we were finishing ether, i talked about the fact that russia open terror begins. today against peaceful citizens, because kharkiv, because poltava, sumy all the time, kherson oblast all the time, now lviv, and you know, there is no light, the ukrainians are holding on, we had no heat, we have already survived more than one winter, but i was in lviv several winters too, there was no heat, no heat for a day, well , i had such an apartment there, no electricity, no heat, i sat down to get it, went to the invincibility point, there is coffee, there are people. talked, light appeared, warmth appeared, ukrainians experienced all this will survive, and the enemy clearly understands that

ukrainians must be broken morally, when you go to bed, we understand that we do not have enough air defense, it is not necessary to be some kind of super strategist here, we will continue this topic, and now we are joined by nazarii berbeka, public activist, member of the lviv city council, mr. nazariu, my congratulations and sincere condolences to my family already for me to lviv, to the people of lviv because of... the tragedy that happened today due to the fault of the russians, if, let's start with the fact that there was a blow , consequences, demolition of debris, reaction of citizens, reaction of services, like this everything was happening, how effective was the work to save the injured people, please have a good day, indeed, today there was a big disaster in lviv, as a result of russian rocket fire, seven people died in us. 54 people turned to the hospitals of the city of lviv for medical help, we

witnessed today the fact that rockets actually killed entire families, and a day of mourning was declared in lviv today, as of 1:00 p.m. emergency and rescue operations in the city were completed at least two were found to be damaged or destroyed medical for... two, two educational institutions, 150 residential buildings, this is as of this moment, we can see how by the reaction of the townspeople, of course, that we saw again the reaction of unity, there were large gatherings, donor covers, there was a collection to help seven to the dead, and the whole day the residents of lviv until... help the communal services in sorting out rubble, construction

debris and all other things that happened at the scene of the events. yes, i’m listening, this is this one, this is a photo of the bazilevich family, which is no longer there, unfortunately, father yaroslav, well, according to the latest information, he was in a critical condition in the hospital, he is being helped, more information will be announced by the relevant officials. specialists, then we will be able to talk more, and also three more people, there 52, 54, 55 years old, the arab yuriy, pedhoretskyi, oleksandr, domydova iryna, died, no, people are, continue to be in hospitals, and... you know , well, it’s just very vivid, when the world sees how russia kills, again, whole families, well, a child, well, all children, 18 years old is also a child, 21 years old is also a child, even by a large number, and i would like to ask whether, after all, well, maybe lviv

will contribute here too, and those people who can speak, those people who have influence, today, by the way, we will talk a little later with... the knyazhyt people's deputy from lviv, he will talk more in poland, he will talk more about the fact that, well, help us shoot down missiles, at least over the western part of ukraine. tell me, please, can we get in touch, well, it sounds cynical here, but how many more people have to die in order to stop being afraid of putin, because he is a weakness only provokes a maniac, she does not restrain him, she does not pacify him, and he will continue to do it, unfortunately, please, you know, i believe that it is possible and i believe in it, because you know, step by step... other types of weapons and said that it is impossible to get tanks, it is impossible to get f-16, it is impossible to get modern air defense systems, we got all these components that we need, of course, the only thing is late, but every time it is late, every time it is big victims, today we saw information that donald tusk issued

a statement and said that poland is ready to join to the restoration of the city of lviv, we hope that... this statement will be fulfilled, because a huge number of houses of the victims of the infrastructure were damaged, so a large number of architectural monuments were damaged, which require special conditions for their restoration, that is, it is a great tragedy, a great trouble, which we will all have to deal with together, i would like, having the opportunity also to address the residents of the city, if... is there anyone on the air now, if you, god forbid, from those houses that were affected today, and you you need temporary accommodation, you can contact the city's hotline at 1580, and such accommodation will be provided to you by the lviv city council, also today uah 30 million was allocated from the city's reserve fund,

this is the first tranche for overcoming the consequences of rocket fire , this... primarily concerns damaged windows and doors, so everyone who is affected by this can contact the tsnapy in their area, issue the relevant documents and receive compensation for the restoration of their property, and poper according to preliminary estimates, from what i read, 100 million hryvnias, so somewhere around this sou, this amount will be the restoration of everything that is. in short, how quickly, well , in particular, the city allocates money, if poland is promised, how quickly can such money arrive, how is this procedure in general, how long does it take to be able to start at least work already? i don't think that we can talk about any kind of estimate today, about the cost, it is impossible to find out today. we

understand that a large number of houses damaged, there are questions about several houses, whether they... can be restored at all, so it takes time just for this, to find out, today only today 30 million was allocated from the regional budget of the reserve fund and from the city budget for the first steps overcoming this problem, then we will understand step by step, decision by decision, what we still need for this, if we talk about the previous cases that happened in lviv, last year, then... these works have already been completed, in fact, there were replaced windows in houses, roofs were replaced, in fact these works were done. i thank you for taking part, once again my sincere condolences to lviv, to the people of lviv, because of the tragedy that happened, seven people died, unfortunately, nazal berbeka was with us, a public figure, a member of the lviv city council, so be it , that too,

i lived in lviv for two years, even a little more, i remember the blow, it was from last year. when we have stryky there, well, it was a terrible explosion, just imagine that, well, maybe lviv is located a little differently, it’s somehow louder there, uh, it’s 5 km from in the explosion zone, we have a road sign bent on the street where i lived, this is, well, that's why i offer my condolences once again, and i hope that the people of lviv will pass this too, although you will not bring people back, unfortunately, today we will talk about another attack, about another hostile terrorist act, this... this time we will talk about kryvyi rih. yevhen setnychenko, head of the kryvorizka district military administration, is with us. mr. yevgeny, i congratulate you. yes, good evening. once again , the enemy struck a curve. horn, i would like you to tell me about the consequences of an enemy attack, there was information about the victims, but again, the details, i understand, you can tell us more precisely,

the enemy attacked, again, as far as i understood, civilian infrastructure, there are no objects of any kind, about which the russian propagandists, there were nowhere near there, as in fact they were not there before, when they flew in kryvyi rih over the hotel and there and over and over the houses, please, so this is the third shelling in such a short time on... the city of kryvyi rih and again it is the city center, the bedroom of the city district, the civil infrastructure, nearby there is no industry, hangars, construction, a hint that it is possible to store weapons somewhere, to manufacture weapons, these are absolutely peaceful houses, a circus, a center, the center of almost a city, where there are parks, a recreation area for the residents of kryvyi rih, because of this attack, in our six people were injured, three of them are still in the hospital, of them... all possible help to them, they are fighting for their

recovery as soon as possible, all the necessary communal services are working at the scene, also thanking the state emergency service and the patrol police, who instantly react to these events and thanks to them dexterity was saved, lives were saved, deployed headquarters are working at the scene, providing all the necessary assistance. the residents of the building, which are close to the scene of the event , windows, panes, and roofs are broken, all the necessary materials are provided for the quick repair of these buildings, and there is no need for eviction, premises, such severe destruction is not present in these residential buildings, but at the scene of the incident, there is still utility equipment is working, traffic has already been restored. on this territory, but work will continue tomorrow, well, for today, let's say, we have recovered from this events and we continue to work, live on,

this is the situation, well, let me be like this, well , first of all, i will ask what the situation is, it is constant blows on a crooked corner, unfortunately, the ballistics is what they hit with what they hit, it flies very fast, well actually like even faster, well, i don't know why either. in fact, a front-line city, such as poltava region, a front-line region, is there for a few minutes and that's all, and people don't even have time to go down to the shelter, and the enemy hits, and it definitely hits the infrastructure of the city, the communal communications are not different, which now the situation with water, electricity, to what extent kryvyi rih today can provide itself with elementary, at least conditions for people to live and work, that's how our district is. we border the frontline, so to speak, the former kokhov reservoir, and some of our communities, unfortunately, can still be shelled from barrel artillery, but

- our armed forces are doing everything they can, regarding the situation, with water supply, thanks to our president launched a state project, and today it is already the city of apostolo, which has been around for a long time was without potable and technical water, now centralized water supply has already been launched there and implemented. a state project, i repeat, with the support of our president, regarding the electricity supply, of course, as we have temporary blackouts throughout the territory, but they are currently more light, but more than not, regarding the heating season, which will begin in the near future, after the end of the last heating season, we started preparing for the new heating season, taking into account the problematic issues that arose this winter and... taking into account, of course, let's say this, the support of a friendly country, which is making adjustments to the energy system, the fuel system, all

of them, additional defense structures are being built, adjustments are being made to the gas supply, electricity supply, backup lines are being built, changes are also being made to all kinds of energy issues there, as well as hospitals, which can also work in black. additional generators were purchased, wells were drilled so that the hospital could work around the clock and could work without stopping to provide all the necessary assistance to the population, i.e. we take into account all the shortcomings and hope that this winter will be and we will survive it better than last year, but it still depends again on uninterrupted electricity, i will ask again, we have a little time, we see that... what the enemy is actually doing well, again, these stories about the fact that there were train stations somewhere 3 km or 2 km away, and maybe there were some military personnel there, well, that is, these are stories.

the results of enemy attacks are injured and dead people, destroyed civilian houses, hospitals, educational institutions, killed students, that is, this is the result, who was thinking, well, no one is interested, as they say, in light of the fact that kryvyrig, as you rightly say, is very close to the kryvyrig community from the front line, the educational process, or how often it is necessary , as they say on... the leadership to gather and think online, offline, we see that there are no guarantees here now, where it will not fly, and this now applies not only to the front-line places, but it can also be zhytomyr, lutsk, cherkasy , anything, that is, we understand that borok chose tactics, tactics of terror, tactics of intimidation, well, at least what we see, tactics of terror and intimidation of demoralizing citizens, look, our city, our district, this is the steel

heart of ukraine. say the city of kryvyi rih, and at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, we met the enemy on our borders, resisted, managed to build fortifications, and thanks to our armed forces of ukraine, the enemy was rejected, rejected and knocked out of the kherson region, and now the ussr continues to beat the enemy, and we see as our president works, he exerts titanic forces to provide weapons of our ukraine, and we... see the results, as for the educational process, i want to say that now, of course, the majority is studying online, online, and in a mixed form, some communities, so to speak, further, which are in the rear, have started offline education , but after the last of these events, the three arrivals, temporarily now everything has also been transferred online, the educational process does not stop, has not stopped not for a minute once, since the full, first

full-scale invasion, i thank ... our teachers, they are courageous, they endure and spend with with these shutdowns, with these remotes, they still try to provide everything necessary for our children, i am sure that our children are already smart and will be even smarter thanks to the work of our teachers, and well , actually, you know, i would just like the citizens it is very important to hear in such a difficult time, which... now there are words of support, it is very difficult, again, somewhere you understand that it can arrive every day, both drones and artillery, somewhere only a missile or a , but people want to understand, and i do i would like you to just know, a few words of support from you for kryvyi rih, and for ukraine in general at this time, how to get through all this, overcome and continue to fight for victory, well

, first of all, we need to be... together, only together, our strength is in unity, and when we unite, we will defeat any enemy, you need to believe in our armed forces of ukraine and our president, believe in each other and help those who need this help, and together we will defeat this enemy and victory will be for us in 300% without any amount, yes glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, take care and hold on, yevhen setnachenko, head of the kryvorizka district... military administration. today, people were injured in kryvyi rih, this is another enemy attack, and let me remind you, seven people died in lviv. and i wrote it down for myself, if now lviv residents, or people who rented apartments in those houses that were damaged after the enemy attack on lviv, have nowhere to live today, i wrote it down, there is a hotline phone in lviv 1580, call and you will be provided with housing on the first time, if you don't have a place to live now, the

result is hostile. as well as your house where you lived, or which was rented out, now many people have come to lviv, of course, then call 1580, maybe you have acquaintances, then write down this number, tell them and people will be provided with the necessary accommodation so that they can spend some time , at least to be there, and in a moment the news will be on the big airwaves. vitaly portnikov, khrystyna yatskiv, andriy smoliy and invited experts based on facts give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. do you want understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. congratulations, this.
