Learn the facts, everyone will be afraid and everything will understand. Year and in 1994 in chechnya , these two truths about the war are inseparable. War was it how does a ukrainian tell you today that you know that in the east of ukraine, the civil war was not ok, the same thing happened in georgia, im just addressing all ukrainian journalists, its important for everyone so that the west understands, this truth is revealed. Citizens of georgia were abandoned. One for one, you understand from the year 91 with the inverted truth or want i announced that they are guilty that they chose their president from the berries thank you georgians for their support for what they are fighting today as part of the Defense Forces of the armed forces of ukraine the enemy on the territory of our country, just like the ukrainians, fought with the georgians together against the russians and together we will win. Thank you for taking the time. Thank you for joining us and once again reminding us about russian crimes on the territory of georgia, and for the first time we had a journalist from i news with us on august 8, 2008, then the russian war aggression against georgia continued as we as we now heard we will break for a while and return to work already in the studio air alert almost throughout the territory of ukraine now canceled eh stay with the press with everyone from literally in a few minutes at the beginning of a fullscale invasion, there are discussions about the need for a law that will limit the activity of churches in ukraine that are governed by russia from the spring of 2023 , the country has been in conflict around the temples of the uoc mp , land is being taken away, conflicts and transitions to the ptu continue, however, in part, such processes take place outside the law because they have not yet adopted according to the law of projects that could normalize the situation, we want to dismantle the structures of the moscow patriarchate, but we do not want to forbid believers to believe, practice their religion, gather with others in order to to practice this religion is all that ukraine has taken upon itself under International Law on december 1 before National Security and defense instructed the cabinet of ministers to propose to the Verkhovna Rada to ban the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate in ukraine and also initiated a review of the legality of the uoc mps stay in kyiv the Pechersk Lavra , president Volodymyr Zelenskyi told about this on the same day in his evening address to ukrainians , but since then, no significant changes have taken place , unfortunately, even russian terror and fullscale the war did not convince some activists that it is worth overcoming the temptation of evil. Why should we create such conditions when any activists dependent on the aggressor state will not have any opportunity to manipulate ukrainians and weaken ukraine from the inside . The Verkhovna Rada has registered 11 draft laws that in one way or another concerning the uoc mp, two of them are the main ones, number 8221, the initiative of which is indicated on the Councils Website by 34 peoples deputies , and number 8371, submitted to the council by the prime minister, there is also an alternative pregovernment number 8371, one experts also allow the creation of a joint project that will contain the provisions of both documents according to the law of the project number 8221 in ukraine there must be one Orthodox Church and such changes will not give the moscow patriarchate the opportunity to manipulate the charter it also provides for the early termination of all property transactions concluded between residents of ukraine and a prohibited foreign religious organization and the peculiarities of naming religious organizations, in particular the use of the word orthodox, the whole problem lies in the fact that the law that we initiated 82 21 prohibiting activities of the Russian Church in ukraine has still not been accepted is the government project, it is planned to be brought to the hall, but the government project does not ban the Russian Church in ukraine, but stretches this process for many, many years, from my point of view, this is unacceptable. Government law project number 8371 currently has the best chance of adoption, in particular , the document provides for a ban on the activity of religious organizations in ukraine that are connected to russia, the activity of the uoc mp cannot be stopped if they prove its connection with the russian Orthodox Church, however, the state service with of ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience must first establish that a certain religious organization has its center in russia, then the Service Issues an order to correct this situation, and if this does not happen, the service must file a lawsuit in court , which must already decide on the ban , alternative 8. 3711 offers practically the same with the key difference, it does not provide for issuing a decree when our bills were evaluated in the world, including by our enemies, so they were forced to conclude that only this way is effective and those that will terminate the activities of organizations whose centers are located in a country that carries out aggression against ukraine. The lawyer, however, emphasizes that the government draft law contains a number of shortcomings because it proposes a procedure that stretches the resolution of the issue for years, primarily due to the large number of interim legal decisions such as prescriptions or decisions related to expertise which are the subject of an independent court appeal which is provided for by this draft law it is not carried out in ukraine we do not have accredited specialists we do not have methods and it is not even mentioned among all types of examinations conducted by the ministry of justice of ukraine, that is, we actually get that the court must conduct an examination, which does not exist. Experts say that the fight against Russian Churches does not end immediately after the adoption of any initiative. The fact is that in such churches for many years, they poisoned the consciousness of the faithful with russian narratives, and it is almost impossible to immediately get rid of such influence, the situation with attempts to open a religious foundation against ukraine and it is certainly not solved only by legalistic such a key, however, many believers are already beginning to move away from the moscow patronage, which some clergymen, in particular, on july 23, priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, appealed to metropolitan onuphrius and called on them to immediately and permanently sever ties with the russian the Orthodox Church in an open letter, the clergy calls russias aggression against ukraine satanic and condemns the support of the war by the head of the russian Orthodox Church, the patriarch kirill, a letter of request was published after an enemy rocket attack on the transfiguration cathedral in odesa. It was signed by more than three hundred priests. Kateryna galko, andriy verstyuk, oscar jansons , espresso tv channel, so that ukrainians dont think about anything, no matter what they talk about , war always comes first, war and our victory. Only on espresso from monday monday completely different spheres of human activity Sports Health politics return of crimea military analytics nine presenters journalists experts opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war in the authors projects on espresso i congratulate you, this is freedom life on radio freedom we have already come to the very change the following frames may shock you live news from the scene of the events and also kamikaze drones political analysis objectively and meaningfully there is no political season exclusive interviews reports from the hottest points of the front freedom life frankly and impartially draw your own conclusions so we start our military column immediately after the air alert and first of all i will start with the announced package of military aid from the United States, the package has not yet been announced, but it will be announced today and it is said to be in the amount of 200 million dollars, this package seems to be small , but this weapon is being transferred under the president ial withdrawal program, that is, it is being transferred from the stocks of the us ministry of defense and it will be delivered to ukraine quickly. A new package of military aid will receive ammunition , including for the patriot antiaircraft missile systems, the javelin toua and it4 antitank systems , despite the relatively small amount of this aid this tranche differs from others in that the source of funds for this supply is actually an accounting error in the pentagon, because during the supply in the last fiscal year and this year, the weapons that were transferred to ukraine in the usa were valued at the cost of those new models that should be compensated for the us army and not from the actual value of the already used military equipment that was transferred to ukraine and thats how six and two tenths of a billion dollars went, and actually on this 6. 2 billion 10 dollars there should be a significant amount of military equipment the actual Financial Year of aid in the United States ends on september 30, and it is clear that for the entire time these six billion will not be available and they will be transferred next year and in parallel with the new package that is currently being discussed in the United States, that is, the package for the next fiscal year, which is also will provide for the supply of a significant number of the second well, in fact, in addition to the usual americanmade equipment , we have a chance to receive german taurus missiles , these taurus missiles with a range of 500 km are interesting nuances, well, from a technical point of view, this missile is actually similar to the british storm shadow missile of the french scalp, because it is manufactured by concert bd, but the question is that now, despite the fact that some ukrainian politicians have announced that the issue with the supply of the taurus has already been resolved in fact, so far these are premature statements, because if we carefully read the german press , it says that germany will deploy these missiles after the americans deliver the attack missiles and there are other circumstances, but in any case, we understand that germany sometimes slows down, but in any case, it still supplies what it can supply. So, with leopards with art systems, heimers, other systems, so in any case, i remain optimistic that of those four hundred rockets are now in the bundeswehr, 150 are in use, the rest need to be updated , so we have prospects of receiving these rockets for use on the battlefield against our enemy, and against the background of western aid , the front line rests on the courage and endurance of our soldiers and where each plot of the front with all its features is extremely important and now we are joined by a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine yehor firsov p yegore i congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes as always i wish Everyone Good Health what is happening now on your part of the front if you can detail what the ratio of our forces looks like and the enemy, what do the dynamics look like for the last week of hostilities . And for the last week, i think that , just like last week and the week before , unfortunately, this is a positional war, and in our country , mostly, and in our country, the battles are mostly the artillery count, the art of shelling, as it is, the enemy is always throwing a rash on us, including on the civilian population, here we are, and in my opinion, even much more precisely, now, even in our direction , the difference is that the fight for heights went. And in my direction horlivka horlivka is, lets say, one continuous height, and now this struggle has begun, so eh well, the command also set the task of generally introducing a counterbattery struggle because , as i said, the enemy always pours eh , artillery into them, a lot of shells, not a few a here and first of all, for successful operations, it is necessary to carry out this counterbattery strategy or tactics even in our direction , thats because i can still say with eh from what is interesting in us, of course well, we are, how to say, between avdiivka and bakhmut, but here we dont have such intensity of enemy assaults as there are in these directions, but for example, above us there , the Strategic Initiative is behind us, this is what i mean by bahmut, there are even successes in recapturing positions in the area of ​​klichtivka. Assaults constantly and in piles, it reminds me a little. Even a little. I seriously remind you of bakhmut, but relatively speaking , six months ago there, real battles were going on there, they were going in waves. Avdiivka, in my subjective opinion, is now the number one target for the enemy, because it is from avdiivka that full fire control of donetsk, that is, those who are in donetsk, i mean the enemy, uh, enemy forces, they cannot feel safe because thanks to all this, we are shot through and the second moment for our attack, relatively speaking, on donetsk, avdiivka is the gate directly from the place to donetsk there, uh , about 1520 km. That is, it is very, very much like vprityk, and there are also iron junctions and asphalted roads yes, they are mined now, of course. But they lead to donetsk, so for the enemy, it is strategically important to prevent any encroachment on donetsk , because how can i tell you, you know how we constantly talk about the fact that it will be a very, very painful blow if the armed forces will go there or even partially go in. I would say in the second place, with the same degree of sacredness, it is donetsk if the armed forces invade donetsk. Well, according to my opinion , if donetsk is much, much closer than crimea. I think even commensurate with the encroachment of the armed forces on the issue of crimea , so this is roughly how the situation looks. Egor. I would like to ask you a question about your main specialty as a tactical medic. Just a couple of days ago, there was a publication in the economist publication about our tactical medicine, there were both positive things and critical things, so i will start with the positive, we know that this is a completely new experience, a new load, and with the critical, the correspondent. And is not effective, i would like to hear from you what is happening with tactical medicine right now, what are the strengths and weaknesses, i will tell you frankly that for more than a few months i have as if i am engaged in another matter related to the kamikaze drone. We fly out almost every day to lower enemies. But of course, it is the same with tactical medicine. Well, on the topic of this field, if i understand tactical medicine, and what can i say frankly, i have not met the medical service in the armed forces, which would have problems with, conditionally, with medicines , with uh, conditionally, with uh, equipment. But the medical forces have all this, starting with a tourniquet and ending with any equipment necessary for the provision of first aid, we are now talking about the medical forces of units are not about hospitals, although even in hospitals, i know the situation when, relatively speaking , even i dont know, some volunteers there ask what do you need in the first place, and the answer is that practically everything is here, and its not just some kind of answer to not have any there the problem is because Something Like this is really the way the situation looks. This is it. This situation has improved very, very much compared to, for example, the summer of last year. Then, of course, there was such a thing that painkillers and some equipment , especially for special medical hospitals there was a constant lack of chairs. This is what concerns the overall picture. The advantage is that tactical medics have a very serious practice. Medicine is, in general , first of all practice. Fighters. I mean, the combat medics had no experience in providing first aid. Under fire, all this knowledge is, well, if they are important, but not of primary importance, the First Priority is the practice of practice in our 10 aa tactical medics in the Armed Forces Ukraine is now very, very much if it were enough yes, unfortunately, but yes , but the strength lies in the fact that and i am convinced, i say this repeatedly, that from the point of view of tactical medicine, believe me, we can now in this world give courses to all the armies of the world and teach them how behave because such practices and situations that we had in many modern armies , including even the United States of america, were not in such a situation. That is why they seek this knowledge. Frankly, the last thing i will tell you is that when i tell you about the situations that were on the front lines, for example, and what about nato veterans. They sometimes listen to me with their mouths open because they have never experienced such a war and such situations. I say the main thing is our experience , which we can already share with the best armies of britain and the states and so on, and believe me, this will be the best course, all from our fighters and they are a short question, i hope not for a short answer. I will now ask our directors show a robotic platform manufactured by the bohun company just for transporting the wounded on the battlefield and considering the fact that you are currently engaged in an aerial platform i would like you to tell me, taking into account your experience as a tactical medic, whether there is a place for such models now on the battlefield from the point of view well, the intensity of hostilities and the possibility of their use is a very cool question, but i will try to tell you briefly, look , these things are mandatory, very important, for example , we make bugs there specially that can drive in very, very dense places where not for example, a car will pass. I understand that this car has a driver, or is it managed somehow . There is a solution, and there is a driver without a driver. There is a driverless one. Look, then the situation is different. If it is without a driver , you need to train the operator. Ok, we need some training for those who will use it. This is basically the second question, but if the units will have such an evacuation evacuation car, it will be very, very cool, because it can save more than one life. The enemy is very insidious. What he does he first injures and then evacuates an evacuation vehicle in order to inflict damage again if such a robot without a driver will come and pick up the wounded and his comrades will help him to get there from the position if they fix him and send him, then of course it is very very cool in general of course well, any appearance of a robot that can pick up , that can shoot, that can fly is of course very beneficial because it protects our lives and this is the war of the future robotic uh, very, very cool, we were very happy. For example, if such a thing appeared in our unit. Thank you very much for your professional comments for your service , for what you do for our country. Joins a military expert, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, who for a long time deals with issues of military communication and means of Electronic Warfare , andrii krutikh p. Andrii, i congratulate you, can you hear us now while we are now resuming communication i will say that, according to the research of the british institute, the occupiers are actively developing means of Electronic Warfare , we can see it on the battlefield, the british say that in fact every 10 km the enemy has some kind of powerful rap system, and otaki small things, the socalled trench rapper, are now widely is scattered across parts of the russian front to fight our drones, that is, now russia is trying to scale up its Electronic Warfare systems, which even before the war were considered to be effective enough for the russians, and now we are just our guest lets talk about what are the features of these russian systems mr. Andriyu i congratulate you once again, i will remind you that on the espresso channel together with me there is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine who has been dealing with issues of military communication and fish means mr. Andriyu, i would first of all like to congratulate you and ask you now there is a lot of talk about the russian halls in these systems on the nature of hostilities and how we have an invitation, and i would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all Communications Personnel on todays great holiday, one of the communications of the armed forces of ukraine without communications, there is no management without control there is no victory, this is a common truth regarding your question, yes, the influence of Electronic Warfare tools is very significant today, you correctly said that before the beginning of a largescale invasion, russia had enough highpower rap tools and there were some developments for lowpower tools of the socalled trench fish well, i want it can be called broader, more specifically, it is a means of radioElectronic Warfare of low power , they are aimed primarily at combating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles which have completely changed the course of hostilities under modern conditions, they can again be divided into two types. The first is manufactured by private Sector Enterprises , a mass of volunteer organizations, and is primarily imported. It can work for the civilian purpose of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, but they are already used against serious aerial vehicles here means produced by industry and over the past six months, their quantity and quality have been increasing, this is a big threat, how to counter it. The love of struggle has means of attack and means of defense to counter fish. This is our radio intelligence this is the detection of the enemys means of radioElectronic Warfare, this is the destruction of these means, first of all, by the means of fire impression and the correct and correct use of your means , mr. Andriyu, and when we talk about ukrainian rap, what is our scientific and industrial potential, what are we strong in, this is what we lack , i want to say that i consider ukrainian the scientific potential is much higher than the russian one, and today, as an industry, such established producers as you are the initiative of the ministry of Digital Transformation and all Market Participants to development and implementation of their developments. I think that under the rule of the armed forces of ukraine, the future and russia will simply be crushed by our rome. How can we now fight with ee russian drones like la e te or chess . Is it possible to bet on this fight precisely on fish . Is it there must be some kind of integral approach, a unique territorial approach. Beyond the reach of the means of radioelectronic
