Understand the importance of returning ukrainian citizens home, especially those who were forced to leave the territory of russia, who are leaving the temporarily occupied territories and can note that ukraine in general and Border Guards in particular will provide for all citizens of ukraine if they reach the Ukrainian Border entry into the territory of ukraine, as we can see, there is still a moment, this is the crossing of the border from the adjacent side and if we talk about this direction, which direction are you talking about, what was the plot in the sumy region, then we observe that the russian side still allows citizens of ukraine in this direction, and already from the ukrainian territory , the Border Guards of the state Border Service ensure the meeting of these people and their registration and delivery further from the border to a place from where they can leave for safer places, because sumyshchyna itself is also and the territory on which russia conducts daily shelling without using the various weapons of its territory, if we speak in general, with the purchase of a largescale invasion of russia on the territory of ukraine, and in the future , the deoccupation of a certain part of the territory, then through various different directions, through different sections of the border, in particular in the direction along the border with russia and belarus , more than 18,000 of our compatriots returned home via these routes, who were later met by the Border Guards of the state Border Service at the border and secured passage on the territory of ukraine, mr. Andryucha, can you summarize now . That is, in sumy oblast, such a checkpoint is currently working, and on the border between ukraine and belarus there is also one of the checkpoints where we record that the neighboring side also allows citizens to enter the territory of ukraine, but er, i emphasize once again that the Border Crossing points are closed by the governments decision, such a rule can only er be applied to citizens of ukraine returning home. In relation to citizens of foreign countries, this rule applies exclusively to the return of ukrainian citizens who were forced to leave for the territory of russia or the territory of belarus due to a fullscale war unleashed by russia, and once again i can note for the citizens of ukraine that if they get to the ukrainian one, i will once again mark exactly the ukrainian part of the border, because unfortunately they also have to cross the Border Crossing from the adjacent sides. That is, from the territory of russia to the territory of belarus, and as we can see in the direction of the border with the aggressor country, our citizens are also actively subjected to such checks by russian Border Guards, not always all our citizens succeed in crossing the border the first time in order to reach ukrainian territory, but if our citizens arrive in any direction or in the direction of sumy region or other parts of the border to ukrainian territory they will be secured for admission to the territory of ukraine , that is, it is about the return of ukrainians from which of the occupied territories through russia or belarus and are they returning . There is some kind of interaction here with the russian side there, how does the state Border Service of ukraine find out that the russian side has started to let people through there , for example, people, is there any direct communication in any way communication with neighboring parties on this in these directions both in the direction of the border with russia and across the border it does not happen from belarus, and our border patrols are located near the border, and if they record the arrival of ukrainian citizens from that side, then they are allowed to enter the territory of ukraine in the future, they are provided with all the necessary support in order to deliver them to safe places from the state border line through, again, those actions that the aggressor country takes in relation to ukraine , in particular, and the direction of this crossing point is also dangerous in the sense that russia at any moment can fire and in this direction, there is also an urgent question for people who break out of the occupation and save themselves, who, for example, have lost their documents, what is necessary for the ukrainian side to let these people into the territory under the control of ukraine, any documents that identity card, but even if citizens of ukraine do not have any documents, in the future, the necessary verification will take place with the involvement of other state authorities, the Migration Service of other Law Enforcement agencies in order to establish the identity, and even if it is confirmed that he is a citizen of ukraine, he will be allowed to enter the territory of ukraine, but the danger is e traveling without documents in general, i will note this in particular , crossing ee of the adjacent side without documents , such citizens on the other side of the border may not be allowed documents this is the main thing and the main thing is to always keep them in front of you in order to be able to cross the border where, especially now, such an opportunity appears. Thank you mr. Andriy for explaining this situation. Andriy demchenko, spokesman for the state Border Guard Service of ukraine, or guests. Freedom in the morning is freedom in the morning. My name is katya nekrecha later in this issue, we talk about such topics in the usa they agreed to send the first batch of abrams tanks to ukraine, this is reported by the american tv channel cnn, in addition , today in washington they are to announce about a new package of military aid to ukraine, how many abrams are needed in the armed forces of ukraine and how they can help at the front, lets talk further, British Intelligence called the Russian Frontline aviation ineffective at the same time, the Ukrainian Air force emphasizes that they need f16 planes, in particular, to liberate the occupied crimea still russia prevails in the sky and what with the training of ukrainian pilots we talk with the spokesman of the air force sometimes if you heard something important and useful in our video you can share the link to it with with your friends and relatives and be sure to subscribe to the Radio Liberty channel in the United States of america approved the shipment of the first batch of abrams tanks to ukraine, this was reported by the american tv channel cnn , the head of the Procurement Department of the us army, spirit bush, announced at a briefing that the tanks should arrive in ukraine at the beginning of autumn according to him, first tanks, ammunition for them , spare parts for repair, fuel equipment and repair tools should arrive in europe, and only then they will be redirected to ukraine. It is expected that the first batch of abrams about 68 tanks will enter, in general, the usa promised to transfer one tank battalion to ukraine this is 31 combat vehicles. This is what the politician previously reported, although the model of the promised tanks is somewhat older than they planned to transfer earlier, the politician wrote that for the use of the newer abrams model on the battlefield, the Ukrainian Military would have to spend about a year on training well, if the tanks are already officially, so to speak, being packed for shipment, then the transfer of longrange missiles to attacks from washington has still not been approved by the minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, in a conversation with the us secretary of state anthony blinkin, once again called for the transfer of these longrange missiles. This was reported in the press service of the ministry of Foreign Affairs. Currently, instead of attacks from the armed forces, the british storm shadow and french analogues scout are used, and these missiles, according to experts and the military , would greatly help the ukrainian counterattack however , today the administration of the us president is to announce a new package of military aid for ukraine worth 200 Million Dollars , reuters reports about this package will include, in particular, demining equipment, antitank weapons, ammunition for the patriot complexes, projectiles for the himars system and missiles for the javelin complexes , meanwhile, the commanderinchief of the armed forces of ukraine , valery zaluzhny, spoke at the head of the United States joint chiefs of Staff Committee about the defensive and offensive operations of the Ukrainian Military regarding defense it is stable, our soldiers are making maximum efforts for this in a number of directions, the enemy is conducting active assault actions, but there is no success, in particular, this is due to the effort to distract Ukrainian Forces from certain areas of the front until the offensive, heavy fighting continues step by step ukrainian troops continue to create conditions for advancing Forward Initiative on our side evgeny dyka International Expert scientist veteran of the battalion aidar joined our broadcast i congratulate you mr. Yevgeny slava i offer everything about lets start with the situation at the front, that Russian Forces have begun an offensive on bakhmut, it became known these days and the latest report from the general staff that in the areas of three settlements on in the bakhmut direction, Russian Forces carried out unsuccessful offensive actions in the south, there are defensive structures that are Strong Enough to hold back the offensive of Ukrainian Forces , in your opinion, and can it be said that the ukrainian counteroffensive is still ongoing, or that Russian Forces did not just harrow and attack in response to the ukrainian offensive by the way, maybe finally, we will stop calling it a counteroffensive, but i dont know where this error on er came from, what are we talking about, its not just us here its a big offensive company, er, designed for everything the summer and the dry part of autumn this year is much more than just a room, this is a liberation, well, quite significant, lets say, according to the plan, at least the territory. Oh, this offensive has to break through the enemys line of defense, which actually consists of three lines of defense , so the first line is practically dismantled in some areas, three areas have already managed to get close to the second line of defense , which russian propaganda calls the surovitin lines, and in fact, they have already approached the surovikin line in two to four points, and currently there will be the fiercest battles in the coming weeks, maybe even in the coming months, that is, this offensive continues , but the owner of the hostilities around bakhmut and the hostilities in slobozhanshchyna are exactly two attempts by two different sides to draw enemy forces away from this main in the southern direction in slobozhanshchyna, the enemy well, it is unlikely that the enemy is so naive as to believe that he will break through there to kharkiv, i think their program at most is to take kupyansk and build a line of defense along the oskol river, but even with regard to this loss, with their offensive on the kupyan naliman, they force us to divert part of our forces from the south and transfer them to the defense of kharkiv oblast, and with bakhmut, the picture is exactly the opposite. We in the main direction of zaporizhzhia can say that in bahmut we caught them in a certain trap of their propaganda, since from a Military Point of view they could very well see the ruins of bah. Everything is easy to hand over to us, but it would not be for them in fact, it was a military tragedy, but a propaganda tragedy, because there is no bahmut in their propaganda, and there is a sacred artemovsk, thats how they took 10 months, they put 100,000 people for it, of which at least 20,000, and according to other estimates, up to 40 were only killed after that to take it and return it to us in a couple of months from a propaganda point of view. This is a disaster for them, and that is why there is an ideologically motivated, senseless from a Military Point of view order to stand to death in artemovsk, and we are actively using it, i would say that maybe touch on one more thing for us to take. Well, let them continue to transfer reserves there and attack their defenses in zaporizhzhia, what for us, in the direction of our next one . Well , they actually have exactly the same goal of pulling us away from the main one in the direction of the goal is to weaken and manage to pull these forces out of zaporizhzhia, this is completely logical. The fact is that there are forces that have been stationed there since last fall. There were literally a couple of brigades there , which, lets be honest, are already very worn out , having spent many months before that fought well to hope that these couple of brigades and the local terror defense will stop the group of almost one hundred thousand that the orcs deployed there , well, it was realistically clear that they had to be transferred. Well, we will not specify how many there are. But some of the fresh brigades that were preparing for the offensive company we got choked here from the village of nadiya and had to roll back. Well, for now , a similar story will be under what, uh, for this, for this stop of their offensive, really fresh forces were needed yevhen, here are a few such important ones of news about weapons. Well, first of all, the fact that the us abrams tanks are transferred to ukraine is about the fall, first 68 pieces, then there will be 31 combat vehicles, and here it is about the number. Comment and how will the Ukrainian Forces judge it . It is not necessary, and it is also from germany, and it is not clear whether they will give it or not, but there is also talk about taurus missiles, all these missiles , how can it strengthen all this weaponry, because , for example, defense express writes about the fact that attacks in general with were needed for yesterday ukrainian armies, if not the day before yesterday, this does not mean that they are now outnumbered. If there were more shadow curtains, they are scalps, then there would be old men without atakams. It would be possible to easily handle the shadow storm, just surprisingly, surprisingly good missiles, but they have there is one but significant drawback each missile costs 2 Million Dollars, and from this it follows how much was produced in general, and accordingly, they give us that is, it is absolutely absolutely clear that we are talking about tens and not hundreds, this is the only drawback of stormseeds, but this drawback is very it is essential, and you really have to choose what makes sense to spend such an expensive and such a scarce missile. Why not, every strike of the shadow storm is a decision for the armed forces, they are actually in many ways even worse on the side and three times cheaper, yes they are also expensive but well, it is incomparably cheaper and the number of attacks could really change the course of hostilities because now we really have to choose only very strategic important objects for stormsed strikes and it would also be possible to spend on objects, say this is the efficiency of the taurus as well as the taurus it is practically an analogue. Well, functionally, they fly further, but because of this they fly further. It is precisely because of this that they do not give us anything else, they are deeply convinced that as soon as they bring them to us, we will start to strike on the territory of russia, which in fact would be absolutely normal, but for all our western allies, it is some kind of absolute taboo, but it is a taboo, there is no reason for me in international law, nor in sound military logic, on the contrary, to transfer the war to the territory the aggressor has always been considered one of the key tasks of the defenders and the key to the victory paradigm is not to provoke russia, and that is why we have very well in our country, we actually conduct boxing matches with one hand tied , and with the right hand tied , i would said about this fence and russia, it is absurd and it has a very real effect on frontline wars, it really interferes with us. Well, we are already ready, we accept this condition because we have no choice and we give guarantees that what is provided by the allies will not be used on the territory of russia, and only on our territory, but the germans do not have any guarantees in our country. That is why they are talking about giving us missiles of peresopkilometer activity. Well, we will hope, but for tanks, and by the way, it was in this context that biden had to promise us those 30 abrams. In general, how long it has passed since that moment , every combat unit , every combat vehicle is very difficult to find, and in order to get into the Ukrainian Forces, we will observe. Aidar or kosmosu svoboda, and then we will talk about this information in the intelligence of Great Britain was called the reason for the ineffectiveness of the frontline aviation of the russian army. Great britain in the Department Report that during the summer, russian Tactical Combat aircraft usually made more than 100 sorties per day, but they almost always were limited to flights to the territory controlled by russia. Due to the threat from Ukrainian Air defense systems, russia solves this problem more often by using basic freefalling bombs with planning devices that increase the flight range, planes can drop these bombs too many kilometers from their targets , but the accuracy decreases. At the same time, ukrainian the air Defense Forces say that ukraine needs f16 aircraft as well as operationaltactical complexes, such as a, to hit objects along a ballistic trajectory on the territory, in particular, of the occupied i will remind crimea earlier that the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said that the training of ukrainian pilots on american f16 fighter jets will begin already this month, that is, in august. And in general, the ministry of defense of ukraine reported that the Ukrainian Military needs about 48 units of f16 fighter jets for success at the front, we will talk about this with our the next guest is yuriy ignatrechnyk of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, a colonel joined our broadcast. I congratulate you. Good morning. Congratulations. Well, there is one of such diplomatic victories, including that the u. S. Of course abrams tanks are in ukraine, but it is not about missile attacks , for example. We all know about the f16 already. Probably every ukrainian knows the characteristics and why it is important, and at the same time in germany. Well, it is possible that taurus missiles will be transferred to ukraine, as spiegel writes. About the peculiarities of the taurus, for example, and how much they can strengthen the air force of the armed forces. And later, we will talk about training not at 16 so that they are ahead of the events. On the agenda, it is clear that there are manufacturers who can help us with this. France , and britain, Great Britain has already provided ukraine with the skald and the shadow side. We can see the results of this work. The question is whether or not there will be a taurus. Well, i think that after all, our german partners will take this step. Because here the question is who will be the first. Great britain was the first to create an initiative and ukraine received a cruise missile. They shoot down there well, we see the results of these ee works of aviation, the results of the work of cruise missiles, ammunition warehouses, logistics, the enemy is on fire, explodes regularly, ukrainian aviation strikes here, the question now is in the number, the question in the number of these missiles is the problem, what is really our problem, what is the need for more weapons ee harm missiles they hit air defense too, we need more of these missiles, fighter jets have already adapted to their use , as well as bombs in the cruise bombs that you said about g ee russia uses such our pilots are jam bombs, they fly filigree accurately and cause serious damage to the patient, cruise missiles are what russia uses against us during this war, and from the very beginning it is husta1 caliber. These are the missiles, but they are much better, now we have a german missile taurus it has even better characteristics than those of its british and french colleagues, the range of the missiles power has been increased, so we will expect that a really positive decision will be made. Thus, the air force should now expect simply that it is more than clear that it is no longer the air force that will use these missiles, but nevertheless a ground based ballistic tactical complex that actually flies on this populist trajectory and disrupt the enemys logistics with the help of and this weaponry is extremely important for our successful offensive actions, it is already the Ground Forces of ukraine, and if we talk about the f16 well, we saw that the president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy tested it as if it were a fighter on the simulator and even hit one of the tu 95 virtual targets, and the training should begin in august, and i dont know, the president showed that it is so easy to master this fighter, well, you understand, the simulator is called the simulator because the Flight Simulator is simulated by a Computer Program er, it helps to adapt, there is a simulator, there are Flight Simulators, this is already a more complete such unit in order to completely reproduce the cockpit of the pilot there even, and it moves accordingly, making figures so that the vestibular the pilots device was finally ready for this, the simulator is there, 3d glasses are put on accordingly, the pilots will be able to master it actually on such simulators, er , the same r16, what should be done to get acquainted, feel yourself in the f16 chair, so understand where the control handle is if in soviet aircraft it is located in the middle, so the m16 is already on the right, like a joystick, next is an introduction to the airplane cockpit with all the devices that are located there, as we have already told the soviet engineering several hundred times, there are several hundred toggle buttons, thats all you need control everything, see how it all works, f16 is already a more advanced model. Yes, most of the processes are already automated there, and the pilot is not distracted by it, but you still need to understand how it works. Therefore, the elements of flight, too, the simulator reproduces takeoff and landing are already possible at this level. Significantly improve your level, your knowledge and familiarity with the airplane cabin and the processes that take place in flight, the simulator is the next stage, the Flight Simulator is powerful, and then, accordingly, flights with the instructor and independent flights, these are the stages the pilots need to go through in order to master this fighter as quickly as possible, and the training has already begun , uh, we were talking about the end of the summer. No, not everyone will enjoy the summer because of the war, but still there is such news that the pilots are really going already and this is very good, let it be the first batch , there will be others after them, i say the main thing is to start the process with the provision of weapons to someone from air defense remember, everyone expected a very powerful west, one party did not enter, then another party followed it, and so on, it will be the same from the 16th, i think someone needs to start the process , and from now on, we will rearm our entire army, our entire army, with modern remnants of military equipment aa maybe the date of transfer f16 is known or it is still unknown the process is very glorious because it is involved in this age therefore the decision when it will be real accordingly the leading role is played by the United States which is the manufacturer of ee and all processes are studied from airfields from infrastructure to pilot training. And another important component, which we also talked about, is the training of the engineering and technical staff, that is, action specialists must maintain the planes and provide them with weapons, hang the same bombs , rockets , the plane. Weapons and so on. Thank you. By the way , the air force of the armed forces of ukraine has launched its tiktok page on the social network, where they talk about the work of the air force, etc. Advertisement mr.
