Happen, and therefore this is an opportunity for the party. The party really wanted to draw attention to those people who might not have voted for this particular party, but it was necessary to draw some new card, and this new card was ukraine, of course, when you look on this side, for example, well, as i look at it from lithuania, it is a little wild for me, because well, we all do, and all of poland and the poles are very supportive of ukraine, and to play with that, but to drag it into the elections and into the preElection Campaign, it was a little strange, and thats why i dont see that the polish experts themselves, its not me im not talking about myself, or there are experts from ukraine or lithuania, the polish experts themselves say that it was actually a very dirty campaign, because they dragged everything possible, even for example, i dont know, some new laws on almost aliens, which more related to tusks party and so on, well, it wasnt pretty, and the ukrainian issue was very important, but how will it affect the actual voting of people, because well, the voters of the sand are also people who support ukraine, so i think it was a fight for a few hundred percent, if for less people, well, but here we are now saying that every vote is very important, and even there one or half a percent of the voters is very, very important, so they drew such a card, i think that after the election there will be a month or two and everyone will forget about it and everyone, even president duda himself, who is so also from batch of piss. I myself have already tried to reconcile this whole situation and say that it is not at all as it seemed, so i just expect that when the elections are over, and maybe in a month or two, we will completely forget about this scandal, because i believe that its scandalously simple, and lets go back to the usual, absolutely normal support for ukraine and the normal debate that took place before the Election Campaign in poland. Thank you very much, anna. Anna dauksevic, a lithuanian journalist, she covers elections in poland and is currently in warsaw, as far as i understand.

Saturday Political Club is on the air, vasyl zima is working with you, and now we will add Vitaliy Portnikov to the conversation , for the next hour, we will listen to his answers to the main questions that came before us this week, to answers to some events we have, somewhere we dont have , but we definitely lack analytics and understanding, and it is better to ask vitaliy, he will also express his opinion, i think she will explain a lot to you, and if vitaliy is already with us, then. Lets start our conversation, vitaly, congratulations, the connection is bad, well, now i dont know if it will be possible to improve it, but we will try, by the way, i want to say that the day before yesterday, is it yesterday, no, the day before yesterday, after in my opinion, and maybe yesterday, yesterday was friday, it was friday, then yesterday was the First Time Since the beginning of the fullscale war that russia started against ukraine, well, escalating war, not by starting a war, but by escalating the war. In fact, from crimea and donbas to many regions of ukraine. Well, now the war is concentrated in crimea, in kherson oblast, zaporizhzhia, donetsk oblast, luhansk oblast, kharkiv oblast, well, there they are still climbing in sumy oblast, of course , but subversive groups are only involved so far, but scaling the war, yesterday was the first day when armed forces of ukraine fired more artillery shells at the enemy than the enemy fired at us. This is by the way. A very important trend, because many people think, well, this it just happened, no, it didnt happen so easily, its the destruction of enemy warehouses , its the increase in assistance from our partners, its the effective use by the armed forces of ukraine of highprecision. Bombs, with which they destroyed an insane number of enemy artillery installations, we remember, it was in the southern direction that just as many artillery installations were destroyed, as there are probably not in some countries of the North Atlantic Alliance in europe, this is a huge number , it is not true, these gdlsbs are there and those rocket shells, which are called as they were called king arthurs sword, now im out of my head, ill say, that is, it all worked. And here, of course, the copters used by the armed forces of ukraine helped, in fact, they significantly weakened the enemys artillery power, well , plus we already have information about how much north korea transferred to the russian federation, and thats why when they say such a phrase putin can fight forever, look, again, no one can fight forever, this is time, any war, it burns huge money in its mouth, and money in russia again not infinity. Because when someone says that russia can last for 100 years, well, we can fight for everything, we know that, but in principle, in such a big war, russia will still not last indefinitely in this situation, they are also running out of ammunition, there are also some economic restrictions, they are getting stronger, somewhere they are updating these restrictions, they also have an effect, i do not believe that poverty will force russians to change something in their lives, there or change their government, but in any case the Economic Situation may force putin to reduce the war, but again same after all, it is first of all the merit of the armed forces, there is no ones merit at all, the merit of the armed forces of ukraine, the fact that they quite significantly thinned out the artillery, artillery depots of the enemy, their artillery positions, what they managed to destroy, this story happened, which for the First Time Since the beginning fullscale invasion, the armed forces of ukraine used more shells than the russians. I will remind you of the situation near severdonetsk, lysychansk, you remember, there was spring, summer last year, and then there was autumn. When the ratio was one to 150, for example shells, well then somewhere there one to 50, then there 1 to 15, that is, these were huge gaps, when the enemy burns the ground, and you hit the ground once and think, well , hit or not, this and that became the cause, perhaps, of large losses of the armed forces of ukraine, first of all, of course, and the loss of some or other, well, not the loss of a retreat from some or other cities, because they will remain there, it was just suicide, it was just undermining their own, their own personnel, well, but it is also important, again, this is important, and despite the fact that russia is now almost on its knees, lavrov is asking iran, north korea, china , i dont know where else he is asking, and shoygush is also traveling there, caroling around the world, give, give, give shells, and this phrase, already deceased, is beautiful, that shayguk has shells, and gerasma has shells, it is becoming quite relevant now, how will it affect. During the course of the war, i dont know, but now i will say that the armed forces of ukraine were able to do this, to stop this shaft that was going to avdiivka, and we have little information, well, of course, friends, colleagues, i i also have some correspondence, but now the military is not up to writing reports on the situation, the situation is not easy, the situation is very difficult, such a massive attack as we saw near avdiivka, there was no such intensive mass attack with the use of manpower, and Armored Vehicles and aviation, there, this has not happened since the time of a fullscale invasion, the enemy really threw all his forces available there on avdiivka, because we know that avdiivka and marinka are two settlements, one more northerly, the other more southerly, which are actually the gates to donetsk , its already there expert, there is this donetsk airport and so on, spartak, we know that there is also donetsk, and of course, the enemy very much wants to push back the armed forces of ukraine by capturing avdiivka or what is left of it, because we are still after the phosphorus attacks and after the airstrikes, after all this, avdiyivka turns into a ghost town, just as bahmud was turned into a ghost town before, as marinka was turned into a ghost town, sands, there are many other settlements, unfortunately, their enemy, well to level, not to level with the ground, but to do, to do simply their scenery for a horror movie, for a movie about war, but definitely not cities, and it is very important for the enemy to push the armed forces away from there, plus it gives them certain certain certain operational. So that they can increase their pressure on seridove and pokrovsk , which is also very important for them, because we know that now the enemy has captured and lost a lot of their soldiers there, there we were talking about 800900 killed, up to a thousand russians killed in one day of fighting, of course, they would later regained their strength, if they had any success, but when there is any success, you are restoring forces, battalions, brigades, there are 3. 4 battalions that have lost their combat capability altogether, 25, this is a combined army, there they have them. Well, they are trying, they are trying, but the institute for the study of war already categorically says that despite the large lash, despite the large crowd, again, these are meat assaults, so that we understand, this is what i read the experts. Military personnel, they all understand perfectly well that i was not there, but what i read, both military personnel write, and experts who evaluate the statements of the military and the militarypolitical leadership, which directly, and those generals who are directly in charge in this direction, they write that this attack of the enemy failed, but the enemy used what the soviet union used against the germans, that is, these ee penalty bats, that is, when a large number of people go and follow them these tank attacks are going on, why arent tank attacks thought out, there arent any, its not gudarian , its not yodel, its not the one who was called lis posteli in german, and its not even soviet generals, somewhere there, these are such throws, in an assault, what the enemy used at the beginning of the war and in chernihiv oblast and kyiv oblast, well, it didnt work, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed a huge amount of enemy Armored Vehicles, again, lets not forget that the armed forces of ukraine also suffered losses, both wounded and dead, our heroes , we are also losing equipment, but the key issue for the enemy was to capture the heights there, these terekons, and from there try to control the course of events and reach further, they climbed onto those terekons somewhere, then they were shot down from there, i saw a video today that was posted in in the telegram our soldiers, they climb the bodies of russians on these terrekons, well, this is what the mine processed, it folds in perspective into such terrekons, which then. Harden and stand like stone and stone like mountains, and they wanted to seize it all, of course , that the situation in podivka will continue, but now anecdotes are already telling about enemy assaults, again, if i joke somewhere about avdiivka in relation to the enemy, this absolutely does not minimize the heroism of the armed forces of ukraine that managed to achieve this, yes, but well from the enemy, though he is strong, even though he has a lot of weapons, a lot of personnel, somewhere you have to joke, you know, because after all, he is an enemy. Well, at least we have to try and depersonalize and laugh a little, especially that they give reasons for this, that putin calls the shoigu and asks why it has not been possible to capture avdiivka for how many days, and how many forces have been used, they are not allowing avdiivka to be captured in any way, that itches him, scratches his head, and then says, its just hang gliders, such as hamas did not have, so we could not fly in on time and capture territory, its already such a joke, but on the other hand, we remember this. Change, change of pictures, which was, yes, when they first write that forward, we all go, well, russian propaganda there, and hawks, which there, putins hawks, or what they call them, i dont know, by the way, what kind of group this is, i asked Sergey Zgurets who are putins hawks, if there are any of their winged hawks, and i dont know, well, they are probably something there , such modern falcons of stalin, and they all moved, and there was such a very pi, inspired, inspired, such rhetoric was in propagandists, then we for. Some time and new messages that send us bags for corpses, because there is a shortage of them, there are none in donetsk, and yesterday, by the way, there was such a long speech by a russian zeitpropagandist who talked about the fact that, she says, give us bags for the corpses, well, she has such a gloomy voice, its a bit obvious that shes not in a good mood, avdeivka is not ours, and she says that food, give us food here, because theres nothing to eat, but she says give food. Sealed, well, in such, closed, closed, packages, because he says, you yourself understand, so as not to poison him, i i always think that you are rebroadcasting it, yes, that is, you are sitting on the occupied territory, there is a part of this territory, if we talk about what goes further from avdiivka to the east, there is donetsk and so on, this is generally the territory that you control since 2014 year, yes, but who is going to poison you, this is so much that you do not even believe in your safety in. In those territories that you have been controlling for almost 10 years, and there you are afraid that you will be poisoned, by the way, in melitopol, our female partisans are actively poisoning russians with vodka and they are doing it right, the enemy must be beaten with all means and forces, now we will go to the plot, i will drink some water and hope that vitaly portykov will join, but technological problems sometimes, sometimes make adjustments to our airwaves and our lives, so the sniper this is one of the most difficult professions in the war. The elite of the armed forces of ukraine, the work of a sniper requires grueling training, the smallest mistake can be the last in life, as is the case with saper. Espresso recorded an exclusive interview with such a warrior who destroys russians for nine years, about the intricacies of military service, sniper duels with the occupiers and mistakes that make our defenders targets, see further in our material, please. The maidan started, he went to the right sector, the beginning of the war he was in the right sector from the summer of 14. Batal donbass to the 16th, from the 16th the 58th brigade, in the 20th or 20th first year he went to dembel, after the expiration there, i dont remember, four or five contracts, well, with the beginning of a fullscale war, i already got here in tro, zaporozhye, in my there was no thought. About my military career, i worked as a workshop chief at an enterprise in zaporizhzhia, and then things went like this, from the maidan, i ended up in donbass, first as a medicine man, and somewhere at the end of the fourteenth year, i got used to highprecision shooting and began to learn to read books, plus guys , with whom i lived, were, the specialists were so good, they taught me, and thats how it went, it went, i continue to study, work, already as a sniper, we are interested in telling our viewers what it is like to be a sniper, what it is like to prepare for it , as much as it is grit and hard work, thats why i i would like to ask you first. What skills should a professional sniper possess, what should be honed in his behavior , for example, the same, yes, well, the main thing is patience, чtо рабоtа, как бы сtаtиная, да можно казаtь, thats patience, perseverance , attentiveness, do not panic, be constantly collected, well, whatever , and physical training is also important, because you have to walk very much, very far, very much with heavy loads, well, it all depends on the situation and the tasks that need to be performed , well, sometimes it takes days 15 km, sometimes 10, 11 hours lying in one place, sitting or standing, it all depends on the tasks, oh, a decent return, rain, where is the flag, 5, i screwed up, well, if its a working day , yes, yes, you. Somewhere in the summer, its 3 30 a. M. , well, we leave, get to a position where you can drive by car , hurry up, go on foot, yes 6, 7, 8 km, depending on the situation, we go undisguised to the first line of our defense , you are already moving forward secretly. The main job is not swaps, of course, not with sp, you leave it into the gray zone, or between the espeshkas, well, again, it all depends on the situation, here you arrange your position, mask it, its still three hours, well, then you lie until dark, you leave already at dusk, everything is in the reverse order, gathered, left, arrived , freed the car, drove off, you get home, well, at 11 p. M. , 10 30 p. M. , thats it, thats the day, well, what was there when it was, 7580 of combat tasks, it was more intelligence, until intelligence, now its more air reconnaissance has already moved away, now you are performing more, or free search, the desire, yes, the socalled well, or there is a cover, lets say some offensive actions of ours, or there, otlovd, well, well, i dont know what task to tell, such that there were not very bright ones, well, not for, well, i dont know, maybe like in the movies there you were given the task of removing someone there was no such thing, yes, but did you have any duels with enemy snipers . A sniper worked on me several times, it was in shyrokino , it was at my throat, shyrokino was even twice once, it was my mistake, i was working according to the machine gun calculation, which prevented us from living peacefully, so i stopped the machine gun, right there and then got a bullet i crossed the balyclave from above, but i didnt find him, he left, i was catching a sniper, it was also reconnaissance in shyrokyn, then we were intercepted, a sniper from the st. Petersburg school of snipers stopped by to pass the exams, but one of him didnt pass, i him i discovered his position, but i had an inconvenient position for work, i corrected the cliff, we destroyed the house together with this sniper, thats what else, when it was, it was the beginning of the 15th year, how easy is a sniper in this war . Well, this is always a priority goal, priority goals its a sniper, well, we dont take commanders, but the commander himself, a sniper, a machine gun, a grenade, whatever can create danger , there are forces, and now weve added air reconnaissance, they too, well, a sniper can be called by a cassette tape if will find out i apologize for my question, i know that it is not correct to ask the military , but you are a sniper, and you want to ask if you keep track of how much you are for 200, yes, but i keep a record of confirmed ones, because often you you work, well, the person falls, it seems. I dont seem to have hit it, i think i hurt it, well confirmed yes , im driving, i wont talk, its not enough, for now, its up to everyone, it will heal as you will, it doesnt interfere, thats all, its john, lets get it, separately, lets go. Can you tell me how far you can hit so that you know that you will overwhelm the enemy, at what distance, well, 16001700 m, thats all, with this 338 caliber, 308 caliber, i tried to shoot more than a kilometer at the range, but it works at a distance 700800. But it allows you to shoot at a longer distance, but there are nuances there, the energy is not the same, the bullet is light, our forefathers, the cossacks, were very serious about their weapons, their sabers, their guns, i know that they could even be punished if they messed around with it. My saber, i understand, for a sniper his rifle is also a great thing, the truth is, yes, they were born, almost like children, i understand that you bought these rifles yourself, assembled them yourself, uh, i bought this one myself , collected, brought him to a good fight. Sight, all the people gave it recently, the bc is being bought, well, the ammunition is also being bought at your own expense, the combat kit is expensive, ill take it
