The propagandist got into a Road Accident that night in temporarily occupied sevastopol. On his bike, he flew to the meeting, where he rammed a car. They managed to bring kasperov to intensive care, but they could not save him. Three passengers were also injured in the accident. Car car, let me remind you, a russian blogger, known as misha from canada, appears on the peacemaker website, where the man is accused of antiukrainian propaganda and working for the Russian Special service, it is the duty of every citizen to defend his homeland, two military servicemen from kyiv demonstrate this by their own example, stories which we will tell you now. The sounds, sirens and explosions that will remain in the memory of every ukrainian on february 24 , 2022, when russia launched a fullscale invasion, the occupants suffered almost all. Of ukraine. Kyiv region was one of the first to take the hit. Columns of Russian Troops were advancing on the capital from the north. 15 territorial communities of vyshgorod, buchan and brewery districts were under occupation. These are 270 settlements of the region. And already on april 2, 2022, ukrainians heard good news. Kyiv region is freed from the russian invaders. This happened thanks to the ukrainian defenders, including me. And a serviceman with the call sign khan. He is a crimean tatar, born and raised in crimea. He moved to the capital immediately after the occupation of the peninsula by the russians in 2014, and when he heard the first explosions on february 24, he volunteered with his friends for the 95th assault brig to protect kyiv, the heart of ukraine. We arrived there, there were too many people to get a visa. There were a lot of people everywhere on the street at the entrance to the barracks. People came who wanted to protect their land from russian aggression. The man joined the division of the sabotage and intelligence group, which went to defend makarivskyi on february 25 district of kyiv region. He was a machine gunner in his unit. In the early days of the war, it was very difficult, there was no equipment like now, for example, drones to pick them up and look at them. We worked for troops, the only thing the occupiers miscalculated was that not only they would be prepared for battle. The 95th Airborne Assault brigade smashed the russians to pieces. We destroyed them at a distance of about 20 m. I saw them perfectly. I dont want to talk about myself. A serviceman with the call sign hutsul also became the defense of the makariv district, he he fought in donbas back in 2014, he was demobilized due to his health, but when he heard the first explosions on the morning of february 24, he went back to his native 95th. On the eve of february 24 , 22, we understood that there would be an invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of our state, so the boys and i agreed with those who served in the 14th year that we would gather near the military headquarters and stand in defense of our state. Combat tasks. The brigade performed in the settlements of yasnohorodka, motyzhyn, kopeliv, osykovo, and makariv district. The main task was one to prevent the enemy from entering the capital. I dont know where we had so much strength, physically, morally, if it was very, well, if it was hard, because if it was lack of sleep, then we walked a lot as scouts in. Forest areas, also fields, eh , well, i wouldnt say that it was very hard for us, but our motivation was that we were protecting our land, first of all, our family and our state, and our main task was to prevent them from entered the kyiv region. After completing tasks in the kyiv region, hutsul et al his. The comrades were redeployed to the donetsk direction, then defended the country from the enemy in the kharkiv region, near izyum. Destroying the enemy who came to our land with weapons is a pleasure, because people who come to us with kindness, we meet them with bread and salt, and people who come to our land with weapons, then they will be just destroyed the russians left behind ruins, torture chambers and. Corpses in the kyiv region. During the occupation, 1,370 residents of the region died. 714 of them were tortured. But thanks to today our defenders fly the ukrainian flag over the region.

Thats all i have, ill see you at 6 p. M. , then Mykola Veresen is waiting to meet you. Good health, ladies and gentlemen, me my name is Mykola Veresen, today we work until 7 p. M. , we have almost two hours, and we will start as usual, we will travel a lot with you, but we will definitely start with our household affairs, with the war that the Russian Federation started, the russian the people and the russian president against ukraine on february 24, 2022. Our almost unchanged oleksandr kovalenko, who always tells in great detail what is happening in the war, at the fronts, the militarypolitical columnist of the information resistance group, good health, mr. Oleksandr, thank you you found time for us on saturday, congratulations, and i have a first question for you, a sneaky, sneaky question, terribly sneaky, so we have several sources, including, for example, the president of ukraine, zelensky, who says that in the summer or in at the very end of spring , a major russian offensive may begin, it is mainly about donetsk and luhansk regions, and even the head of the Main Intelligence Department is also talking about it, and experts say that this is a fashionable word, now when you ask an expert, he says, i dont see , the expert tells me, because it has to be the concentration of troops must. There must be ammunition, there must be transport, we need medicine, we need food, well, in short, i dont understand anything about it, you definitely understand, more than i do, how convinced we can be that this will really begin a big offensive or a continuation of this attack on ukraine in the east of our country, please, mr. Oleksandr, well, there are two points here, if we talk about i see, i dont see, lets start a little from this. Northeastern direction, that is, from kupyansk, there now a group of troops is going west, it has been working for the past month and a half regrouping, there was quite a serious regrouping, especially in the kupyansk region, in which the 90th Tank Division took part directly. Why is the roughing done, it is done precisely before starting any more. Largescale combat operations of an offensive nature, most likely the nakupin estuary, the lymanokupin axis and the general samkupin axis, they will become one of the epicenters of this pressure, which may begin precisely in the second half 24th year, why exactly in the second half of the 24th year, because after putins inauguration, everyone expects mobilization, if there is. Mobilization will be Human Resources, which, if there is Human Resources, Human Resources will make it possible to compensate for losses, to restore the combat effectiveness of units in the offensive, which will significantly increase losses, and therefore this is exactly what they are preparing for, and in addition to Everything Else, the group of troops is south, this is the direction of the temporal ravine, this is the avdivka district, and we can see that they are concentrating the main attack now on the next ones. And therefore there is no need for the concentration of any single large group troops, if we are talking about the south group of troops this is one of the most combatcapable groups of troops in general in the combat zone. If we are talking about the western army group, then it is not the largest, but there the largest component is mechanized, especially main battle tanks, because it includes the first tank army. And no less dangerous. A moment that may indicate a future offensive is the formation of a group of troops north in the bryansk, belgorod and kursk regions. This troop group is created on the basis of the bryansk and belgrade troop groups. It does not constitute some kind of hypertrophied such a threat to kharkiv, they say it will be only for kharkiv . No. But it is being formed in order. To synchronize actions in the event of entry into the territory of the Russian Federation, units of the rdk and the lsr, that is, they will more reliably now be busy covering these areas of the border, which, to put it mildly, they are not effective control, and for what, in order to minimize any threats to the operation in the area of lemanokopianska. Axes, that is, this is such a preparatory effect, we can call it so, preparatory actions, and therefore donetsk region, as well as lemana kupinsky vist, they are really under threat of offensive. Look, two more questions, well, its possible in one, and its possible in two, when you tell this, you see it, im sure that the experts see it, there is intelligence, there is radio intelligence, there is space intelligence, there is a lot of intelligence, no only ukrainian, but the americans also help, the english help and so on. When we know everything in advance, well, well, i wont, you know, if i know for sure that the store is closed. I wont go there to buy bread if i know for sure that the ukrainians know where i am, where i am directing the main blow, i dont, well, i will have to come up with something, but i will not fight headon, this is the first and second such subquestion, it seems to emphasize, connects the previous one, and and this is the question, as far as i have heard, two russian armies took avdiivka for many months, and lo and behold they took avdiivka for six months. I imagine this means that the Ukrainian Defense is very powerful, well, yes, well they do not lack people, but they may lack, for example, weapons, maybe ammunition and so on and so on, as far as it is still probable, what do you say, please really. Chose a large number of forces and means, the most combatcapable brigades of the second and 41st combined armies, which, by the way, from the composition of the center group of forces, this is the lyman direction, they were generally chased, well, the second general military army, it was generally chased from under the flint ovdia, in principle, apart from Everything Else, units of the 90th tank took part there division, the 11th army corps and so on and so on, that is, a large number of forces and. Means and they did not go anywhere, they remained there, and with the corresponding restoration of the combat capability of the units, but when such large offensives are being prepared actions, its really not possible to somehow prepare them, and the main directions will be predicted, but there is another nuance little avdiivka was really chosen for five months, but why was she chosen, why . We now say it already in the past tense, because there were factors that could not help the forces defense of ukraine to get it, and we cannot now talk about it as a city that continues to hold defense, what factors, the factor of shortage of artillery ammunition, we still have it, and the russians know about it, they are trying to use it, and factor of russian dominance. Ation in the air, and the russians are also taking advantage of this, now in april is one of the highest overall indicators for the use of russian corrected air bombs, they are trying to use this time as much as possible to advance, and a great epic offensive and so on and so forth for the russians, its result may be capture. One or two cities, as well as with avdiivka, because after all , more than 100,000 personnel were concentrated there during the entire period, just such a number passed in these five months, it was really a big offensive, and Something Like that they can implement in the near future, especially if they receive additional Human Resources due to mobilization. Lets take a little break for a moment, now, no, no, dont quit. With mr. Oleksandrs permission kovalenko, a militarypolitical observer of the resistance information group, and then we will come back and continue the conversation, i have some good questions, i will remember them and then i will say them, but after a pause.

Give their assessment and forecast of the development of events. Do you want understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. What is it that we have, that we have such sudden advertising, it is all because the western grants, on which we worked, are ending, and now, it means that we need to get more money somewhere, well, grants always end, we know about it today lets talk about. American grants for ukraine in general. So, oleksandr kovalenko, a militarypolitical columnist of the information resistance group, is returning to the air. Thank you, mr. Oleksandr, for waiting. That we we can expect from those 60 billion plus f16s, which, lets be optimistic, can arrive during the summer. I dont know if it will be in june, july or august, but there is such, such a hope, it can turn the situation around . On the battlefield, we can expect to be more defensive, or we can expect to be able to advance and seize the initiative from the russian forces, not immediately, but yes, because that is the help that we receive from the European Union , and it is barely enough for defensive actions, and also there are corresponding problems, as we see, not all of the time. We receive, if we are talking about the possibility of preparing reserves for counteroffensive actions for advancing and liberating territories, then this is exactly the help from the usa, but it should be noted that 60 billion, of course, it sounds quite so optimistic, but in general the military component of the whole this amount is slightly more than Everything Else is also financial aid, economic aid, support of the economy and so on and so forth, so it is not quite all 60 billion, they will go exactly exclusively only for the aid of weapons, although on the other hand in the 22nd year and in the 23rd year we received less aid than now in this project it is already basically placed, so this is the most aid. That has been since the beginning of a fullscale war , and it may well be enough to prepare our troops for counteroffensive actions in the future. Yes, i would also say for the audience, i am convinced that mr. Oleksandr, i know that when we hear about some money, about help, at least 25 is transportation, we think that this is mr. Oleksandr said, 20 billion, i just dont know, but. At least, if thats all, all for the army, then 5 billion is for delivering them to ukraine, it will be american planes, it will be american gasoline. Kerosene and all that if it doesnt come in, we cant shoot it, in order to shoot it, the americans have to send it to us, and its just at least a fourth of the cost of just transporting all this aid, and i also have a question about the f16, i just cant figure it out, and no one can, like you do you think how f16 will be used as a defense or like us . In the sense that a lot of people say that f16s are very effective antimissile means, missiles fly, shahedis fly, and just in case there is an american f16 somewhere in the air, it can shoot them down very accurately, this means , what we will defend, it will be more effective for us to defend energy and Critical Infrastructure and just cities, people, and some say that on the contrary they have, have the opportunity to advance, bomb there or launch missiles somewhere at the Enemy Territory and help the army to go on the offensive, what, what is the ratio here, mr. Oleksandr . The f16 is a multirole fighter, it has a range of weapons that help destroy both air targets at different distances, small, medium and large, it has a range of weapons that allows it to work on the surface, for example. Such a wonderful missile as the hjm158 jasm, it is actually, well, we can say that this missile is very similar in its functionality to the storm shadow or skype ag, and of course the bomb load, it can have glide bombs for jdm use, for example, and in addition to Everything Else, it also has antiship complexes, that is , antiship missiles of the ag type. 119, so it is a multifunctional fighter, but here it is already a question of expediency, whether it is appropriate to risk a fighter of this type, and in order to intercept the shah 136 pamikaz drone, that is, it is a debatable issue, because the fuel consumption, technical expenses for the takeoff and landing of one such aircraft, for the corresponding work in the air space for several hours, and of course the. Missile that will be used to shoot down, as lately we see that the bulk of kamikaze drone interception is done by landbased mobile interception groups, and the more such groups, the more interception capabilities, and it works out even cheaper than one takeoff and landing fighters, thank you very much, thank you very much, oleksandr kovalenko, military aviation. Columnist of the information resistance group, of course, i still have 5 million questions for him, but you have to have air discipline, and thats why we have, i i hope Bohdan Ferens, candidate of political sciences, international expert, has already appeared, if he has appeared, show him to us, we will talk with him in a moment, i am told that he is not there yet, but he is about to arrive, we are just lets focus on the american theme. And i would like to warn, here is mr. Bohdan, thank you that Bohdan Ferens is with us, candidate of political sciences, international expert, but for citizens who do not care, i want to say that voting for kyiv at 4 00 p. M. Begins the procedure in the lower United States house of representatives america, and the vote itself is expected to help ukraine at approximately 20 00 kyiv time, that is, an hour after it disappears from yours. Mykola veresen, and now on your screens
