Occupiers 23 artillery systems 17bm 10 drones and five tanks eh what is the situation exactly in the ughledar direction lets talk about that to speak with oleksandr voytko, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. Oleksandr, congratulations slava ukraine good morning i congratulate you as a hero slava oleksandra, the day before i had the opportunity to communicate with your military brother, he is there in hornets dovbusha is flying in the direction of ughledar , i am now looking at the dip state map, so with cautious optimism i see what is any progress on the liberation of our territory. Can you tell us in more detail if we are talking about the ugledar district . Volnovakh is a very significant force because it is an important transport hub for them, positional battles continue there, the destruction of the enemys manpower and equipment continues, there are certain advances from the Velikay Novosilka area this is west of ugledar, there are ongoing battles for the sheltered novodonetsk, and our units are also doing everything to advance further to the south. As we know, several villages there have recently been liberated, and our units continue to make a fire impression on the russian occupiers in order to further liberate our territories. It is already a trend that, in particular, in the south and southeast of our country, the enemy, in order to patch up the holes, throws into battle one of the most capable one of the most powerful of its groups or parts of these groups, and this quite clearly refutes the enemys thesis that the ukrainian offensive has stalled and so on. And so on. How is the quality of those russian fighters who are currently carrying out actions of a more defensive nature changing . As i understand it, they are trying to get it in the occupied territories, or can we say that some of them they are better trained than the contingent that was present here a little earlier, yes, the russian occupiers have drawn up significant reserves , they have used a significant part of their operational reserves, they are entering them precisely on the first line , uh, most likely, they are trying to achieve a propaganda effect, which seems to be a small advance in our country, so it is used the reserves in the first line, uh, you cant say that before that, for a short time, they were less professional, now they are more professional, the level is about 1 and the same. Of course, there are units less trained units are used in this direction, also storm z is made of prisoners, there are professional units, motorized rifle regiments and brigades, in general, we cannot underestimate our opponent, the russian occupiers remain a significant force, they have many servicemen, they have a lot of equipment and we are dealing with a powerful enemy, but we he suffered significant losses and little by little we are liberating our territories of oleksandr. And tell me. And this is the whole line of their defense there. We will start somewhere from mikilskyi, from the coal mine and to the new donetsk. Staro majorskoe, this is what it looks like. That is, these are concrete fortifications, these are minifields, as it is in this part of the front, there are many minipiles, these are landing positions these are positions in these settlements, each of these settlements that you listed , the occupiers turned into positions in the villages themselves. They are trying to defend themselves there there is no retreat or in progress because the russian occupiers understand the complexity of their position. If these defensive lines of theirs are breached , they will press them to the sea. I understand this, so they try to resist, but for due to our assault actions due to the work of our artillery of other units, the armed forces manage to liberate villages in this direction regarding staro maiorsky recently liberated by the Defense Forces of ukraine , are the occupiers trying to counterattack here or in other areas, the occupiers are constantly trying to counterattack in the entire south and in this direction also, however, their counterattacks are unsuccessful these are local counterattacks and our units repulse them, the main work is carried out on the destruction of their positions and preparation of our assault actions for further advancement, and the enemy is trying to counterattack and due to this also slow down the liberation of our territories, but he does not get much short questions, but along the entire front line from donetsk and somewhere up to the occupied energodar is this one line of defense or have they already built it system of several lines of defense, because all this is our ukrainian south, there are several main lines of defense of the russian occupiers. But we must understand that there are a lot of lines on the ground, because each landing is transformed in such a local defensive line, there are dug trenches, dug positions, there are a lot of them in the opiv, that is, there are several two or three main lines , but every landing is also turned into such a defensive point by the russian occupiers, and there are a lot of them if battles are fought for each such landing oleksandr, if you look even simply from a distance, that is, i understand that there is fire control to the depth of the same volnovakha in the armed forces of ukraine. If, according to your calculations, we will have fire control of all the socalled of this corridor in the temporarily occupied crimea, that is, there are some calculations when already their tourists and logistics will not be able to travel so calmly in our south, eh, in fact, eh , many of their logistics routes in the south can already be affected by our longrange means, and we can see even in crimea the targets were hit, the bridges were hit, the warehouses with ammunition were hit, thats why the occupiers are looking for other ways of supply, they use volnovakha, they use mariupol , the colonial centers, but thats what the counteroffensive is, its a set of measures, its not only battles at the front, its strikes deep in the rear of the russian occupiers, we are observing all this and, of course, work is underway on how to make a fire impression, then by logistical means, in the volnovakha region and in the mariupol region and in other places, mr. Oleksandr, a little about what the enemy uses in their counterattacks. They go to them with the reinforcement of heavy Armored Vehicles, how active is the aviation and how would you assess the level of their intelligence in general, e. E. Counterattacks, they use several units of Armored Vehicles with the support of manpower to a platoon, mostly such they carry out local counterattacks, their artillery works actively, they were able to stock up on ee ammunition, but they manage to conduct a counterbattery fight due to the fact that our artillery is more accurate, the enemy uses aviation, you cant say what is very active, because they are still they are afraid that their aircraft will be shot down , we have the means for this, but the enemy uses it, this is also a certain problem and we constantly learn, of course , in intelligence and learn from others as well, we do not expect our enemy to stand on the spot, we understand that he will also learn and develop his means in intelligence and in other areas. Well, we are observing this. I would like to emphasize once again that we are dealing with a large and powerful enemy. Of course, we thank oleksandr vytka, a military serviceman , the leadership of ukraine, the ughledarsky direction was in the center of our conversations uhuh until new meetings we have to take a break but before that the information is yes serhiy naev reports last night in the northern direction within the limits of the Chernihiv Region an attempt to cross the state border of ukraine was stopped four armed persons were spotted by the enemys sabotage reconnaissance group, Border Guards of the second border outpost using thermal imaging cameras, according to the decision of the senior observation post, fire was opened on the enemy, which forced him to retreat, at the same time, on the alarm signal , the reserves and members of the border detachment and the armed forces of ukraine advanced to the scene of the incident thanks to the skillful actions of the units of the Defense Forces , the enemy was on the way to nistra but did not achieve the goal. Glory to ukraine i am interested they ran into one of the territories of belarus or the Russian Federation, well, we can clarify later, it will be serhiy zgurets. And i will tell you a hybrid one, and to our viewers, with an attempt with the tongue of the occupier at once, and nine cases of that reason became known to the military Enlistment Offices in the last 3 days. Can you imagine how they did it and moscow and peter, so it looks like this, the grandfathers are in their 80s, they stood at the military Enlistment Office for a long time, they turned the phones, one in the cell could not understand , the second could not answer the lonely one, at some point one grandfather went, something happened and but he threw it at the explosion, as the cautious moscow publication writes, some unknown, er, our allies, all the pensioners were tricked into saying that they were obliged to carry out an act of arson at the military commissariat for security purposes, this is what hybrid forces are fighting in our country, a short pause on the air and serhiy sgorets, the director of the Information Consulting Company Defenses express will join the conversation it is always easier to get poisoned when ordinary water is not enough for adults and children i recommend reo we will save ourselves with water reo reo water for special medical purposes is difficult get up and climb the stairs old injuries and sprains constantly remind you of yourself with sharp pain you need help knee brace moves easily reliable assistant for joints order right now with a discount for only 199 hryvnias tightly fixes reduces stress and tension and significantly improves blood flow knee brace moves easily gives incredible lightness and comfort of movement, the secret lies in the threedimensional fixation of the knee joint and reliable support of the muscular skeleton.

Serhiy good morning good morning vita , how are they good at writing for the third time in a week, moscow was attacked by drones for the second time in moscow, moscow was satilitili, there is a message, uh, on the flights in moscow , there were three drones destroyed and the next sentence is logical, one flew to the 17th floor of moscow city. That is, where the ministry of economy and precisely hit it, there are even russian video sites where the subrussian matcommentaries on the flight of these drones. The same building at a significant distance, if we do not even talk about the fact that these were ukrainian bezplodki. Although hints from ukrainian officials are so transparent that, in principle, we as experts can to overlook the fact that these are really ukrainian unmanned strike systems that have already passed the stage of significant improvement and are capable of accurately hitting the same buildings at a considerable distance, which are defined as decisionmaking centers and which affect the effectiveness of the russian enemys Management System there, and mainly also affect the the mood of the russians, because when we see how they react, we understand that the resonant effect of the drone strike in moscow is so significant that it actually shakes the russian capabilities there of society there unanimously and continue to support putins policy. Of course, this will not happen immediately, this is the ideological role these free complexes also fulfill. Complexes based on statements, including those of our volunteers, who showed these shock complexes , which were created according to the duck scheme, which are capable of carrying a significant amount of ammunition and which are actually capable of overcoming the Russian Air Defense system, which seems to me to be the most surprising fact because, despite several repeated examples, we see that neither our armor nor the vaunted h4 complexes of the Russian Federation, the reduction field of the Russian Federation, is in principle capable of resisting such regular attacks by attack drones, a little bit more details about what exactly these successful attacks on the brain in the world have to tell us about the air Defense System in moscow and in the Russian Federation in general. Er, are we fighting their means of Electronic Warfare or their antiaircraft Defense System and the fish in general do not work very well, in fact, what against the means of the fish are these Constructive Solutions that can provide for a romantic Guidance System in the complexes of unmanned vehicles that can use the inertial system to influence the means of the fish is minimal, and on the other hand, the powerful work of rap systems in moscow itself is quite complicated, because in any case rap suppresses the work of other Communication Systems there , and one way or another they are forced by these fish use is very limited, if in any case we understand that the flight without a passenger, relatively speaking, the location of the enemys antiaircraft Missile Systems is limited, it allows to carry out ee point selective and well, as we see effective strikes on i think that this practice is extremely important to work there in russian by the system of such and such authorities, such and such, this resonant ideological effect is extremely important now, because both the strikes there and on the crimean ee bridges and these things. They differ widely in the russian public and they demonstrate the inability of the russian antiaircraft defense or any systems to protect its citizens, which is actually such an impetus to the disintegration of Russian Society, which, in my opinion, is an important element of the fight against Russian Society and the russian army as such because in addition to the victory at the front, it is necessary to shake the mood in the russian environment, and these strikes make this task apologetic. Sergey , the information from yesterday is that china is introducing restrictions on the export of civilian drones , longrange in the garden and referring to the war russia against ukraine and concerns that drones can be converted for military use , export controls will be in force on august 1 to prevent the use of drones for nonpeaceful purposes. For military purposes is constantly increasing, the ministry of trade said that the restrictions will apply to some types of drones whose operational parameters exceed the control indicators set by the chinese side. Among such drones, in particular, those that can fly beyond the natural distance of visibility of operators or stay in the air for more than 30 minutes, those that have equipment that can drop objects and weigh more than 7 kg, and what are the problems in connection with this in we may appear. Does this apply to the main types of dual purpose drones currently used by the Defense Forces . And what about individual components, please . This is really a challenge for you. Well , you see the prospects of our unmanned arsenal because it will affect, in particular, the matrix 3t complexes there, which is equipped with twoshot cameras and is actively used in Reconnaissance Strike functions it will affect the socalled babayaga complexes, these are the socalled agricultural complexes , which are capable of lifting the entire load there up to 10 kg, which are used for attacks on the enemy, as such heavy bombers are enough for you , quite effectively, they are now operating in the arsenal of the national guard, there are new Technological Solutions that do not allow even the enemy to use ee complexes that are based on these chinese designs, if in any case, this can really reduce the e flow of direct purchases in china, but this will just then force ee our companies that provide supplies to still buy components and assemble these components complexes that, in any case , will still slow down the pace of these drones entering the armed forces, so i think that this challenge, in my opinion, is so serious and now it is necessary to expand the possibilities of creating key elements of those structures that cannot be received from china at the expense of its own ee capacities, and is this an important task for our defense industry, because when we see there thousands of drones that ee demonstrate the art of digital transformation, in any case, these are foreign drones , including and chinese roads , that is, these structures that are already ready for use, now we are moving to another stage, when we now have to create our own structures as quickly as possible, which will be contacted in part by the chinese complex, wanted other components for that in order to actually increase the number of evictions of ancient drones at the frontline level. Because this need remains extremely high and we see a certain such dynamic from the fact that the enemy of these drones is becoming more and more and our volunteers say that on the frontlines there is time to soar even though before, the advantage was on our side, and this approach of the russians regarding the creation of Industrial Production in large quantities, an attempt to attract young schoolchildren there to assemble drones determines that adequate measures should be taken and the ukrainian side is not expecting only the supply of drones from china. Sergei defense express has probably already analyzed this story. And the day before yesterday, it took place in front of the eyes of the whole world, because it was discovered that three civilian ships of the amz1 2 and the limazcap there passed through the turkish straits. Yes, this is an israeli ship and a greek one, and a joint one under the flag of turkey, georgia, and uh, one of these ships went out from all the way to yes in israel , and the captain openly stated that the destination is the ports of ukraine and there is information what were these ships going, actually, under cover against chornovol, the p8 poseidon plane, and Additional Information was also given to them by the american unmanned global hook intelligence, that is, does this mean that the solution to this grain crisis has been demonstrated before our eyes, as they say in practice, we are going openly we declare that we are defending and all of you will not be able to do anything about it. I am talking about how earlier the day before the russians shouted that they would destroy all the ships that would move in the direction of the ukrainian coast or check so they then took a step back and said well, dont destroy, we just leave it for our right to check and so on, by the way, we saw all the negotiations of the russians who tried to talk about what really uh where are you going . The fact that the World Community is now starting to look differently at this attempt by the russians to block the ukrainian port, which contains grain that is important for the whole world. I think it would be very appropriate if the ships of nato countries joined in to cover these in particular, by turkey, romania, bulgaria, because at one time there was this initiative of the black sea force, that is, the black sea forces, which are supposed to solve the crisis challenges in the black sea area, and i think that now there is actually a certain dissonance in the heads of the military leaders as to how to act in such conditions, because to carry out an attack on civilian vessels is actually just, well, to lower the hook with a bullet to ones temple, because in fact it will mean that the World Community will unite even more and then just the transition to military measures defense ships heading to the ukrainian parties will become quite real, but here the important point is that russia tried to work in advance and inflict maximum blows on the Port Infrastructure itself, limiting the possibilities of grain shipment there and so on, so now you have a complex task, that is, to ensure the safety of the advance civilian ships to our ports to restore the infrastructure of the ports of the constitution of the antiaircraft defense parties and to expand the grain supply routes included there through romania, croatia, there and other countries that are important for this, in particular, the supply of grain from ukraine to those continents where there is a need for food. Thank you, mr. Serhiy , for this inclusion, for always highquality analysis. Serhii zgurets, director of the Information Consulting Company Defense express , joined our broadcast we definitely have to talk about not only the achievements but also the problems faced by our Defense Forces and us as a country. To say that we see practically a solution to the problem with the grain agreement. It seems to me that this can be even more of a solution to the general problem of using the black sea for civil shipping, not only in the aspect of, you know, a small path, a small narrow corridor, along which only here we can walk and our partners can walk and so on and in general throughout the entire basin because they , er, the russians have violated all International Conventions and maritime law, so that the patience of all countries seems to be running out, even those that have time were neutral now we have 9 00 in the morning and a minute of silence in ukraine we will honor with a minute of silence the memory of the Ukrainian Military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who
