Now this rotation is very timely e p mayor, i know that he and i met before the Verkhovna Rada, when i was still studying at stanford , i can say that he is a very professional person , when i hear a lot of things now, oh, what an opportunity. He has very little to do with the military people know that in reality the victory was not due to the supply of weapons to us at the beginning of the war, especially from countries that did not really want to supply us with these weapons. They didnt want to give, the country was lazy, germany. Im sorry. Turkey, which first started selling us cluster munitions, this is also a negotiation with the vivor peace, so i think its very good, in fact, now there will be a rotation , i really want to hope that ah, first of all the issue of procurement of the administration will be resolved because this is one of the key areas, this is the provision of the army, which must be resolved, and i really want to believe that all other issues, starting with the vlk of military medicine and ending with the questions that the dedrons constantly ask why they are not purchased and so on, they will be resolved now , the rastamolyera worked for the last year from state property, as we can see that this was because this was a question, this was the time of one of the largest privatizations, when Many Enterprises that brought a negative balance in to the country, that is, which ones did not bring money to the country and which we still had to pay extra for in order for them to exist, they were either liquidated or privatized, and thats why i really want to hope that the same position will be anticorruption, er, occupied by the prime minister. I am sure that it will be so and in the ministry of defense i really want to believe that they will let him put his people on his loans and not hang people who are needed by others , yes well, im just here and i understand that the Verkhovna Rada should listen to the minister of defense or did they listen, i just know that there is a meeting is happening now in closed mode, i dont fully understand this information, please tell me there was a small question of the Verkhovna Rada , at which mr. Reznikov spoke with his report, he was asked many questions. Here, the entire Council Unanimously ruled it, well, in fact , almost unanimously. It unanimously sent to resignation because the person acted decently enough that he wrote the statement himself and i remember how at one time there was mr. Stepanov, who you remember, we had such a person , he sold suits, my masks, he clung to the position until the last, he did not want to write a statement for dismissal thats why he spoke at the committee today. I dont know what happened at the committee, because its a defense committee, but when he spoke in the hall, he was asked a lot of questions. Regarding procurement, first of all , a lot of questions about the appointment. Thats why i really want to hope that tomorrow when he presents his program, peace will grow he will just be able to answer the question of what he will do there in terms of procurement, what he will do with the appointment, then i will ask you one more word , well, that is, the question of that, from these strange stories that happened with eggs and jackets, this the questions are no longer different, because he continues on his political path and where is his ship to that harbor, where will the president send him or there , how will it be, the fate remains. Well, not from the side of the Verkhovna Rada, there is a committee, maybe a Supreme Committee or a commission from other bodies. The Verkhovna Rada is not a Law Enforcement agency, it does not conduct an investigation, yes. I apologize a little late, i just received the video. I want to repeat that we are not the Verkhovna Rada the Law Enforcement agencies do not conduct an investigation, as far as i know, there are open criminal proceedings regarding the purchase of the same ones for 17 hryvnias and there are people who now have suspicions about this , there are also open criminal proceedings and the sbu has been investigating the purchase of lowquality jackets for more than a year all journalists and anticorruption activists , thats why i really hope that we will see the result of these criminal proceedings suspect specific officials who signed and supplied our boys at 10 times more expensive than food or lowquality jackets and that these people will sit behind bars well, i would like to ask you already this is a question for another guest , but since you are a peoples deputy and you definitely know more about this matter, i would like you to explain this is a strange story from to those who have to declare their ee incomes. Yes, there is a deputy, lets say village councils, e. G. , for example , advisers of the president s office and there are officials , otherwise they should not have questions here. Its simple, why is there such a strange selectivity in the one who has to show that he earned and how, and who should not do this, please, it is clearly written in our law which positions are in the Civil Service and which are not, which are, lets say , in the patronage service, we voted today for the advisers of the president s office to present their declarations , although in fact i i will tell you if we open this pandoras box now and we will start the traitors of the president s office, and i understand why the question arises now or during the war. The main thing is that it does not pass to the advisers of the ministers, and it does not pass to the advisers of the heads of the Regional State administration, etc. Because in fact, in this way, there are now 800,000 declarants. I dont know, there are two or three million of us. Every third one will be decorated and will wear the status of heat. Today, the faction supported this decision , unfortunately, it did not gain sufficient voice in the supreme hall. Ill tell you Something Else. Im very worried. For some reason, very little is said about this in our country. For example, now under the declaration, large one time salaries have been taken out, and i think this is wrong. I know that the Anticorruption Committee is at this Training Ground for some reason, but what we have are people who used to there they received more than uah 150,000, there was a onetime declaration of this as expenses as eh as a change to the property status. Passed the cec for one and a half years, lives in flogorod and receives a salary of 300400,000 hryvnias, i can tell you. My salary as a peoples deputy for the month of august was 17,000 hryvnias, and in fact, this person has not even declared this wealth this was accidental and became known thanks to a journalistic investigation, but i believe that such norms are now a law, this is nonsense because we have the right to know, ukrainians have the right to know who receives some space salaries , thank you very much, mrs. Oleksandr oleksandr ustinova, a peoples deputy of ukraine, was a flag of communication, ukrainians have to know the truth and i agree with ms. Oleksandra, but there is a controlling stake in the Verkhovna Rada of ukraine in the servant of the people faction, and they decide whether ukrainians should know the truth or not, and about whom they should, and about whom they should not we must see that about the officials at all, the president , lets say we shouldnt, we dont need to know everything about the deputies of the village councils, there , for sure, the root of corruption in ukraine lies in the villages and towns, and yes, or at the bank, everything is clear and understandable, of course, it was an irony now its time to talk more about the situation at the front serhiy is walking with us tract of the travel agency defect express host of the column military summaries of the day serhii congratulations i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers e. E. The armed forces of ukraine in addition to the already praised e. E. Shells with a changed mural for tanks challenger and there for the abrams, in the perspective of the american ones, they also received projectiles for cheetahs. These are the things that, as far as i understand, shoot down drones and the rest that fly. If i am not mistaken , it seems so. We really need them, because the cheetah is ineffectively shot down by fraudsters. This is absolutely true, but the shooter was already interviewed that switzerland, which is the manufacturer of these projectiles, was actually against the supply of these ammunition to ukraine and germany, which supplied us with 46 kpards, made a decision that it would create these munitions on its own and open a production line. This was decided in february of this year , and in seven months the germans built this ammunition line and we have already shipped the first batch of projectiles to the cheetahs, and the german minister of defense said about the fact that we are demonstrating that we can rely on germany. And this is true. Well, next to the shells for the cheetahs. Well, we are certainly expecting taurus missiles, which we need no less, and we will talk about them later in our war column about what is happening in different parts of the front through the eyes of our military and military experts, i will say about this in a moment at the beginning that today the parliament approved the resignation of oleksiy reznyakov from the post of minister of defense, and the appointment of a new leader , rustam umirov, will be considered in the parliament tomorrow, september 6, and this during this time, the Defense Forces continued hostilities at the front, and here i will say that it is possible to state that in the south, the number of directions where the armed forces are exerting pressure on the enemy on the defense line, the concept of an offensive that can be explain in three words, i am stretching, exhausting and fighting is being implemented in several areas, the general staff reported that the Defense Forces continue to conduct offensive defense on the bakhmut and melitopol areas of the front and were successful in the direction of work too new prokopivka and i will add that there is data that there are other directions where now combat operations intensified, this is primarily in berdyansk, who cuts, in particular, in the area of the villages of novodonetske and novomayorsk, there are also data that the armed forces are conducting combat operations in two more directions these are attacks on kamianskoe, this is near vasilivka. And our forces are pressing the enemy in pavlovka near ugledar from both sides, enclosing the area of the settlement in the encirclement from the north and west. So, really , the situation for the enemy is becoming more and more difficult for us in several directions, and in this time, the president of ukraine made a trip and discussed with the combatants of the brigades conducting combat operations in the bakhmut direction, there were meetings with the military with the battalion commanders and they talked about problems, in particular, it was about providing shells and missiles for systems of air defense about transport and means of fishing. And yesterday the president had such a meeting with the leaders or commanders of almost ten brigades that operate as part of the donetsk operational group, including three separate brigades of the marines, this is precisely the fifth, sixth, 3738 brigade, and there it was about the evaluation of the situation in the brigades areas of responsibility, as well as the execution of combat tasks and the level of logistical support, and now we will be able to talk about individual directions with our guest, valeriy is now joining us as a reserve, the captain was invited to ukraine from the 36th separate brigade of the marines p. Valeriya. I welcome you to the espresso channel. Good evening to our viewers. You know you have groundhog day here. You can see everything yourself on the map and from the summaries of the higher headquarters, i can confirm that the pressure on the enemy position is not only in the south, but in general along the entire front, and from what we can see, they are really still russians they cannot understand, realize what the strategy of the armed forces is, after all, this is very good , on the one hand, it gives grounds for some speculations. I call on everyone to Pay Attention to the russian rejectionism and despair that they are trying to sow in our society, and on the other hand, you understand, this is war way about i think that we have several opportunities to strike a dagger blow and i am sure that these directions have already been determined and in due time you will all see everything, while there is really pressure on the entire front and where the work is going to be affected by fire the work of the infantry units is going on and all this just needs to be increased because there is still time before the autumn external winter cold and i am convinced that in the next 1. 52 months we will see some significant achievements of the armed forces in the offensive, but i already mentioned that yesterday Volodymyr Zelenskyi held meetings with brigade commanders of the donetsk operationaltactical group and discussed some problematic issues, and there the commanders talked about the need for a larger number of Unmanned Systems in antidrone means they mentioned the lack of individual types of passes , how critical do these needs look in your area or if not critical . He hears all the problems firsthand. He can organize a quick, Quick Response to them, of course, i will not detail our problems. The only thing i will say is that there can be nothing in such a war against such a powerful enemy. There cannot be too many drones, there cannot be too many shells , there cannot be too many fish, there cannot be too much fuel for the transport of trained personnel. So that every hryvnia goes to victory because here the price of advancing and liberating our territories is very high. So let it be paid with money and not with the blood of our fighters. Well, one way or another , the president s office talked about some, lets say so nuances that need improvement, in particular, in addition to the things i mentioned earlier, it was said that it is necessary to improve the staffing of units, it was said that there is a need to create an auxiliary Management System to support brigades and increase the motivation of soldiers, so what should be done to increase the motivation of soldiers, you know i dont on a strategic lance, thank god, thats why i dont ask such questions, and we simply carry out what our higher headquarters give us in the combat orders. I think this is a topic not for one program. The most important thing is that we at the front receive as little ambiguous and negative news as possible from the rear, and unfortunately there are not enough of them. I do not want to go into detail, i think that you all know what is happening in the parliament and outside the parliament , and we want to see the movement of the whole here the states of the entire society to civilization to the civilized world we want to see steps to join nato we want to see the openness and democracy of our state institutions because in many ways they still need to catch up to the level of the armed forces because unfortunately, not only the army joins nato, the whole country joins nato, if the armed forces made a huge breakthrough in order to be worthy of this, then unfortunately in some aspects, and not even in some, but in many aspects of state formation, we are still lagging behind, and here we have to to run this distance as quickly and efficiently as possible now, and this will be a very serious motivation for people who are at the front fighting for the right to be ukraine as part of the civilized world p valery thank you very much for your such clear and direct assessments of the situation thank you for your service take care myself and my brothers, and to our viewers, i think that on the air the press class was valeriy about the reserve captain of the armed forces of ukraine who are serving in the 36th separate brigade of the marines of the marines, and also, after all, the rain returned to the direction where the active hostilities are taking place this is the direction it seems to be known that it is precisely where the enemy is trying to hold back our attack, it is precisely behind the section from the shelter to donetsk and there. Stingy, but our enemies will be a little hysterical because if we see some posts of collaborators, they say that for several days the armed forces carried out such austrian attacks in this direction in the direction during the work of our artillery , the mini fields were destroyed and the enemy even cannot restore them because they are under the fire of our artillery , then our units on Armored Vehicles advanced closely, approached the russian lines and shot the enemy, then rolled back, avoiding the impact of the russian artillery, this is exactly what the collaborator of the Russian Federation , oleksandr khodakivskyi , describes in particular, literally the events of yesterday and the day before yesterday. Battles, that is, in fact, the worst part of the front, where the enemy feels pressure, then of course he has problems with determining where the main direction of the attack will be, although it seems that everyone said that there will be work even further, exactly verbovets is a really important direction there, now there is an advance, there is consolidation in the conquered positions, our artillery is also actively working there, and this is not the only direction in the south , i repeat, there are already five such directions, and each direction is so alarming for the enemy. And now in more detail about all of them aspects that are currently happening at the front level, then we will talk with our wellknown expert , viktor kivylyuk joins us, this is a reserve colonel , an expert of the center for defense strategies, mr. Viktor. Welcome to the espresso dobry channel evening, mr. Serhiy, i am glad to see and hear. I have many questions for you, but i will still start with the fact that the president of ukraine makes trips to brigades and communicates with brigade commanders and battalion commanders. Is this not a sign that we definitely need some changes to the Management System or to make some bets on the ground so that information would reach the president through some parallel channels, there was no need to arrange such personal meetings with brigade commanders and battalion commanders. What do you think about this . I do not agree that the supreme commanderinchiefs visit to the frontline is a sign of the need to change the Management System, it is a way to support the moral and psychological state of the supreme commanderinchief, to show that the supreme commanderinchief is concerned about the personnel who perform the most difficult combat tasks today, so this has nothing to do with the modernization of Management Systems. Absolutely fine and now regarding the assessment of the situation, first of all , three months of hostilities have already passed in the south, we have heard various negative and pessimistic assessments of the fact that things are not going well we are making progress and so on. I am interested in your exact vision of the dynamics in the south, or are there grounds for cautious optimism . How do you really assess how the armed forces are acting on this important aspect of the front today , we can observe three areas where operationally strategic tavrias troop group affected the enemys defenses in the direction of vesilliv this is a section from zherbyanok to the dniester river, about 20 km wide and 35 km deep in the tokmak direction, where we have the greatest success. The section between novoprokopivka and verbov is about 10 km wide and up to 8 km deep, and in the berdyansk direction, this is a wide section from the shelter to the new donetsk region, about 23 km wide and from three to 5 km h , according to the commander of the operationalstrategic group of troops tavria in the okhmat direction, in the area of the robot , the enemys main line of defense was breached to its entire depth, that is , the Defense Forces during the two and a half months of the offensive operation managed to overcome the extremely complex and extensive system of engineering fences, a security lane, and in one area, break through the main defensive line, if evaluated dryly from the point of view of the textbook and numbers, the ironing is slow from the point of view of common sense, the need to keep fighters , experienced trained fighters, this is a normal pace, which, as a matter of fact , will allow to develop the next depth in the future, optimism present now, when we are trying to assess the actions of the enemy and his reserves, there were reports that the enemy is really shifting his regiments of these two Airborne Assault divisions to protect the line of defense in the area of the robot. Is it possible to talk about the use of socalled extreme reserves by the enemy, or could there still be any surprises from the enemy . No, this is far from extreme reserves, but the transfer of Airborne Assault divisions from the kherson direction with the grouping of troops from the dnieper and from the liman direction from the grouping of troops from the center to the tokmak direction is very demonstratively very telling about two things uh, the first thing is that the enemy does not have enough combatready infantry to perform the tasks inherent in it, that is, an Amphibious Assault divisions that, in principle, after one and a half years of war, do not look absolutely elite and have never changed their personnel, but they are the best of what is there, they have to perform the role of infantry, this is indicative of the second enemy is forced to move reserves between separate and operational directions, this indicates that somewhere, his staff commanders miscalculated in assessing the direction of the main attack of our troops, and the enemy has a situation where it is necessary to somehow conduct a defensive operation. And you tell me who we are, therefore, from directions that are less threatening, and these two divisions were removed and overturned in the most threatening direction, the price of these overturns stopped the offensive in the liman direction, the intensity of hostilities in the bakhmut area, where one of the bolts of the 7. 6 divisions north of bakhmut combat operations and, accordingly, in the kherson direction, the enemy was forced to pull up units from the newly formed 18th general military army, significantly decreased and something to occupy the defensive positions that are equipped there , viktor, when we talk about the third factor this is the socalled time factor. That is, everyone talks about two months as a window of opportunity for conducting offensive actions do we really have to take into account these time constraints or with the availability of appropriate means and new artillery of other things we should and can conduct offensive actions beyond this window of opportunity what are your assessments the time factor affects the situation when you are in a hurry to the supermarkets they are trying to be before the end of the war, the situation is radically different, there are two important factors the availability of resources for the continuation of the operation and the physical and geographical conditions that we are unable to change accordingly 2 months is a warm, not very rainy autumn, a good illustration of an important autumn, which gives us the opportunity to act with scale and not get stuck in the ground, as was the case last year in the battles in the donetsk direction. I think that you should not focus on the indicator of 2 months then an important indicator is the rate of supply of foreign weapons, ammunition, and other components that ensure the effectiveness of the actions of our Defense Forces, but today there was just such a statement by the president of lithuania at the sitting, who said that the supply of weapons by countries the west is hampered by corruption in ukraine and this is what the president says. Well, she gave almost everything she could to ukraine. Is it really the factor of corruption that is now such an important limiting factor in the supply of certain types of weapons to ukraine . What are your assessments . Health to understand everything because what is happening now in the field of military defense procurement i am not an expert in signaling so it is difficult for me to say anything about this the fact that we see a lot of claims against our allies slowly provided slowly produced no no in those volumes i am more interested to listen to Ukrainian Government officials who will tell aa what is the ukrainian defenseindustrial complex occupied by us and the minister of technology and ere ukroboronprom was reformed into some new structure and the ammunition was delivered by ukrainian Armored Vehicles which is like should not deal with ammunition. But with Armored Vehicles , i would like to understand this, well, that is, we hope that these changes will take place and literally in a few seconds, i would like to you assessed the situation related to romanias actions in not recognizing the fact of the fall of the shaheds. On its territory, is this a sign of such a permanent policy on the part of nato not to play to raise the stakes in the war with the Russian Federation , firstly, it should not be personified, secondly, what are the minimum e the fall of the aircraft can be explained by a huge number of factors, and this is absolutely no reason to get involved in an armed confrontation, if not to say that the entire militarypolitical alliance will go to war , no one will go for it, but this absolutely does not say no about weakness, not about unpreparedness. What is the point of spending huge amounts of money on military operations if you can get, for example, the same political influence by purely financial and economic means . I think that there are no situations that will happen in the future with falls , explosions there and Something Else in
