we were tracked even at night, they said that they were flying to odesa and to reni izmail, that is, and the cancellation, in my opinion, three alarms only in 3 hours at six with a penny. tell me how the situation is now and what is known about the consequences of this cancellation attack the alarm was a little earlier, although it lasted four hours and 33 minutes in total, it started at the beginning of the second hour, we had preliminary information that the enemy would attack the south of the odesa region as usual, because there is a civilian population there, the infrastructure of the port, especially the shaheds, er, this information turned out to be accurate were preparing for this, there are reports about them being shot down, of course, in our military in more detail after monitoring the situations, unfortunately, there are hits in several waves, indeed, these paths for attacking changed the route, that is, the enemy is trying to confuse the air defense system as much as possible today, confuse the mobile groups , the representative of the units of the defense forces of the s

there a problem only because, as they say, a traffic jam, a railway traffic jam is happening, well, reni izmail’t have a menu, they are very close. well, that’s one problem, i would do it without this cluster by one point or, uh, evaluate it, you see, the russians say, when they turned out, it seems they wrote that they received a fuel depot there that is used by the armed forces of ukraine. well, if you look at the map of ukraine, that is the distance and almost there, how did the divisions before this not hostilities, well, that is absolutely ridiculous. but the railway suffers from the logistics of this a question to our ministry of infrastructure to ukrzaliznytsia what to develop because it is one of the hot spots of our exports and we need to do everything to make it work because it is our economic security well, i would also like to ask about the rally that took place in odesa, there it was about that so that the money goes specifically to the war, funding is necessary, please tell me in more detail what it was, where it was gathered, what was demanded , and whether it was possible to ach

and this is actually not so easy in the conditions of the drone attacks on izmail and reni .e need that there are no obstacles with the railway. i am talking about poland in particular, including the program, because in romania's problem is the slow logistics inside romania. it is quite weak there and ukrzaliznytsia can deliver much more grain to the borders with romania. that is why the capacity of these transshipment points on the border with romania is occupied by about 40%. that's why romania is everything remains a promising direction, that is why it is not a fact that we will be able to bring out our export potential there. well, somewhere around 60 million tons. yes, and it is possible that we still need a little bit , we need deep water. i am talking about the sea, that is, we need to look at alternative ways, how to combine the danube with the territorial waters of romania is the same so that we spill the grain of zbarazh on a ship in the open sea, and if we go back to today, what do you personally expect ? what will the decision of the european union on the export o

information about the downing or damage of any objects on the ground yet, but it is clear where izmail and renie flying, this actually confirms that it may have flown to the romanians, but it was also canceled in fact, it is a threat to the south and the central areas of ballistics, and here i have a question, i looked at the map again yesterday , the muscovites are now flying in the territory of ukraine, they are constantly spinning pretzels, as they say, that is, they have changed the approach for shelling, they very often they change the direction of both missiles, and somehow it is strange, for example, to hear about uavs, is it possible , but here we are showing this version of yesterday 's attack on odesa, in fact there was information that they turned around, they were going to the western regions, and then they turned around again and went to south, they have the opportunity...' to circle with the help of shaheds in the same way, is this only typical for rockets, this is my childish question, because i am simply not aware, it is not childish, it is completely understandable and complete

the ministry of foreign affairs reported that during the russian mine attack on izmail and reni, twoania. the state of those who died as a result of the earthquake was registered in nine provinces and prefectures, the victims from the regions closer to the epicenter are being taken to the city hospital, and doctors are sorting out many patients in the open air in many parts of morocco, people spent the night on the street due to fears that their houses are unsafe for living in, set up a roadblock where he collects donations from indifferent drivers and pedestrians and transfers the collected funds to the needs of ukrainian defenders nine-year-old maksym from kropyvnytskyi helps the army and wants to become military , our journalists will tell the story of a small volunteer for more than a year maxim bevs volunteers for the benefit of the army, for this he set up his checkpoint, the smallest donor who i received one hryvnia, the largest was 400. there are days when it is possible to collect more than a thousand. in addition to collecting donations, a schoolboy sells his own patriotic

the floodplains and further along the danube, it was unpleasant to see how it flew both to izmail and to reniat was the situation there, on unfortunately, it is quite difficult in the south of the odesa region, why, because it is constantly ours the insidious enemy strikes with various means, constant attacks by shaheds, constant launches of cruise missiles there as well, that is why it is currently a gate, the gate of odeshchyna, a grain gate, thousands of grain trucks are going there, people are trying to get farmers to take out their products, so the situation is very, very tense, the ports are in a very, let's say, already decrepit condition. they were not small anyway, these are small ports, and there has already been more than one arrival there, the situation is quite tense, unfortunately, our enemy also fired at transit points, that is, they are trying to intimidate people first, secondly, to destroy this port infrastructure of ours for transshipment of grain. mr. sergius for agricultural products, in general, mr. sergius, has it been possible to restore the crossing over the danube, a

happened this week, the attacks of unmanned aerial vehicles on the port infrastructure of reni continue, this is all izmailt , the city of izmail, they continue to respond to groups of combat drones and try to hit the targets thanks to which ukraine currently ships grains and feeds feeds the world i.e. in fact this is essentially the answer what russia can afford now in order to still how much they cannot block until the end, the grain corridor, which still works. that's why you, russia can only engage in chatter and terrorize civilian objects. thank god, they do not succeed in achieving any success on the front, and they continue all their terrorist activities, attacking objects of the relevant infrastructure attacking ordinary citizens , depressing ukraine, that's how we saw the meeting between erdoğan and putin, at which putin again emphasized that they wanted to continue with the new agreement, but they consider any concessions on the part of ukraine, we understand that no concessions can be made to the aggressor because playing with terrorists has never led you to anything good, and that is why they c

four people remained for treatment in the city of reni, and one person in izmail received medical helpd. several trucks were destroyed , we have non-residential premises, well, actually, the enemy is trying to attack our infrastructure as much as possible, the port infrastructure , the civil infrastructure, and this is the most important goal of his today, we see that he is again he did it en masse. as for the current night, there was indeed information beforehand that another one from the crimea had launched a route to actually, as it happens from the primorsky krai, the krasnodar region, but in some strange way, at least today , at least they did not fly, er, they really moved there, mykolaivshchyna dnipropetrovsk region will report on serhiy a little later , we have 4-5 zero, we understand very well that the enemy can prepare for new attacks, the war continues , but in the morning, everything is pleasant information 4-5 zero , a little wrap around the worlds of strikes that were the day before well, everything is calm and that's good, but still there are victims. if we talk about th

yesterday they ironed military installations of ukraine all night and in izmail reni and near nikolaev, our viewers wrote to me yesterday, clarifying that the arrivals were of good quality and everything went well. where it is necessary to say, and there, in fact, the same one is located an armored tank plant, where western equipment is repaired, where soviet tanks are restored and soviet tanks are modernized in lvov, an industrial warehouse in the khmelnitsky region was hit, missile strikes hit the storm and ammunition storage areas, thereby uniting. at night, we went on the attack, towards novopokupovka and verbovoy . our troops are holding back the onslaught of the enemy to the west and southwest of the village of rabotino; according to reports from the site, positional battles are taking place with the support of our artillery. let's find out the detailed information of the war correspondent artil vladislav anrisa. vladislav is in direct contact with us. hello, we are waiting for your story about what is happening in what is probably the hottest part of the front, working on the wi

and when you look at how they fly and how they attack this infrastructure, it is killia izmail and all the way to reni actually a very long route and a before that is the same there were massive strikes on the ports of the great odesa. what prevents us, first of all, from building anti-aircraft missile defense here in order to effectively shoot down, as is done in other parts of ukraine, to eliminate the same rackets and what prevents us, for example , from finding and hitting the centers where they are large-caliber twisting these iranian drones because now it becomes obvious that they are twisting them faster and it is hard to believe that they are driving it like this or to tehran so often. i think that well, i am not an expert. but it seems to me that they have already brought these drones to industrial production. well, really, well and here at once several questions were asked, yes, very difficult, the first one - it is true that the russians started shelling odesa in the port of the black sea, missile missile, the second news, and it should be noted that in response to this, even if we have an

quite dotted line, all i’m saying is, well, a lot is written in telegram channels that in reni warehouses in the izmailt - at kulbakino, at the kulbakino airfield, a mig-29 was hit, presumably one of those missiles from which certain attacks are carried out, and this is also an indicator that the operational capabilities and range of our aerospace forces are expanding and new ones are coming weapons, new ammunition is coming, but again, from what i know, from what i can judge from... anything, first of all, in the zaporozhye direction from which i periodically receive certain first-hand data, then, that i can confirm that the questions asked a lot... the question i asked, questions artillery, the answer is that the bc is just delivered several times a day and we work, work, work, that is, how it is, and what is expected these days another attack of ukrainian activity, offensive, but in general they are ready they’re waiting too, yes, i’m asking about the abrams, well , somehow even after the leopards and challengers it’s already like you’re writing about the abrams. and somehow they take it all as a jo

the romanian districts bordering ukraine; the footage captured a drone attack on the ports of izmail and renim the neighboring romanian city of isaccea. it is reported that attacks on port infrastructure on tuesday night lasted about 2 hours. here you see the footage. authorities in the odessa region confirmed that they suffered damage as a result of the attack. as well as 30 trucks, six of which were burned to the ground. we just showed you footage filmed in the romanian city of isaccea, but on the other side of the danube, the ukrainian side, there is the orlovka checkpoint. the kiev authorities announced today that , apparently, it also came under attack, because now it does not accept cargo, all transport flows from there have been redirected other checkpoints. oh, in the russian military telegram channels they report that kiev from ... in kiev they began to spread hysteria that this drone attack created a serious threat to the passenger bus, which was located next to this checkpoint, but in the footage that got into the network shows that the bus is intact, the bus is unharmed, the words

early in the morning russia bombed the river ports izmail and reni on the ukrainian side.me she has done this and not the first time that the remnants of the supposed russian devices enter the territory. firstly, we have everything under control, and secondly, at the request of citizens living in this area, the romanian ministry of defense immediately responded to this as an emergency. everything will be carefully analyzed and an immediate reaction will follow in this area, including a military one in this case. this is an accident and i will repeat it. these are just fragments of a drone that crossed the danube, we are not talking about an attack on romania but the entire territory, the system worked notifications, phones work, communication coverage is good. why escalate against us? no one is attacking us. people, let’s calm the population down, because everyone is going crazy, no one has attacked us and will not attack us without a drone that was shot down by the ukrainian army, some debris jumped out, there were no explosives in it , nothing that could -cause harm to c

explosions occurred in the south of the odessa region, in the area of ​​the ports of izmail and reni, , a mik-29 plane was destroyed; the same fighter, according to some sources, was hit near nikolaev at the kulbakin base. it was this type of combat vehicle that the vso adapted for american harm missiles, and from near nikolaev the militants carried out attacks using british stormshadow shells. meanwhile, in the donetsk direction, our military personnel repelled nine attacks in the ssu, the loss of enemy personnel was over 230 killed, a warehouse with ammunition, and the fighters of the southern group also disabled up to ten. drones, air defense systems shot down three ukrainian kharm anti-location missiles, including in the disputed area. and this is footage of assault groups of paratroopers and squadrons of breakthrough tanks capturing a stronghold of militants in the forest. the winged infantry approached the minimum distance and destroyed the objects with direct fire from open positions. the soldiers of the center, who operate in the krasno-liman direction, having received the tar

purposes, in particular, it is reported that loud explosions thundered in the harbors of izmail kiliya and renidefense, they also talked about situations in the hottest areas. tonight , the russian aerospace forces carried out a group strike with long -range precision weapons on the training base for sabotage groups, the target of the strike was hit reached in the southern donetsk direction by units of the vostok group of forces, with the support of aviation and artillery, repelled an attack by an assault detachment of the thirty-eighth mechanized brigade of the ukrainian armed forces in the area of ​​a populated area. nova donetsk donetsk people's republic in addition, the accumulation of enemy manpower and military equipment in the areas of populated areas was defeated, urozhaynaya other donetsk donetsk people's republic enemy losses in this direction amounted to over 180 ukrainian military personnel in zaporozhye the direction of units of the russian group of troops, with the support of aviation artillery of heavy flamethrower systems, repelled four enemy attacks in the areas of settlements
