and joining us online is my ukrainian colleague roman, contra ranko, who is working for d down the use russian desk in bon. and let me start by asking yourself as our defense expert, to tell us what you think is happening right now. if you look at the front lines, it appears that both sides essentially are stalled, but that's not the end of the story. is it? well, not, not, not the end, but it's most of it. so the russian offensive and offensive actions have slowed down the haven't stopped now, which is, which is part of the problem, but they have considerably slowed down to have narrowed down on the russians have difficulty sustaining their fires tillery war. but nevertheless, they're still on the offensive on ukrainian side. ah, ye koreans try to spurs our russian forces as much as they can try to force them to split or to maneuver in order to to weaken their strong points or however, ukraine, on the other hand is not yet strong enough to mount our larger counter fences operatives, counter offensive as compared to tactical bonds or ukraine can capitalize and russian mistakes if they

oleksandr kharchenko is already with us the director of the oleksandr dobrogo ranko energy research center. in this part of our broadcast , russia plans to disconnect it from the energy system of ukraine as much as possible and what the consequences will be, please, mr. oleksiy well, i understand that this was the basic scenario when they captured a-a the zaporizhia nuclear power plant is more than that. they are probably focused on creating maximum problems for the ukrainian unified energy system, so they will output the base load. that is, it is base generation, which is not shunting, just the period when our consumption of such generation increases, it is heating season, and i think that they are deliberately making the worst situation possible in order to create the right conditions when we have an increasing workload . the fact that they are trying to find an alternative to the supply of electricity to the occupied crimean peninsula, we have information that they have problems with gas supply and we know how they successfully worked on ukrainian property, and these are the boyka tower

so let's bring in the w's roman, gone to ranko, joins us from the ukraine in capital chief roman, the so called national republican army claimed responsibility for this attack. what more can you tell us? what we know about this group? well, was still don't know much and there are still i would say there are still more questions than answers. for example, nobody heard of that organization before and there was no am confirmation that it exists are from independent sources. and it is still unclear why this organization would do such a thing now, half a year after the russian invasion and ukraine began. or why choose such a target? because m that ideologists that mr. dugan himself was a well known a far right activist. but he was not having much of an influence as were here. and he was definite, not, not proteins, brain as some media claim. his daughter was also a relatively unknown, i would say. so there is still unclear why such a target. now, roches domestic intelligence surveys f s b is claiming that ukrainian special forces were behind this attack. is that likely? well i'm, i would n

his name is alexi contra, ranko. and let me ask you 1st, what is your reaction to this historic launch of the ship to day? i'm absolutely happy, because that is historical for odessa. if that is historical for ukraine, and that is historical for the whole world. there's millions of people are safe from starvation and death. food cries is we sure was artificially made on the planet by a bloody middle beaten by this awful blockade of the black sand. this invasion. i can't say it's over, but it definitely is decreasing now. and that is extremely impulse and j, like, for example, lebanon is dependent on the ukranian grain on 80 percent. and this 1st corn, we can still see their sheep in the, which is the leaving, is taking the corn to lebanon, $26000.00 tons. egypt is dependent from ah, ukrainian, green and together with irrational, 85 percent. just imagine these numbers and altogether in the world, 400000000 people are dependent from the calories from ukraine and crops. so that is extremely important. more important mom
