[00:01:30] we point out that the Black Sea Fleet is unable
[00:01:33] to protect its own shipping, it is
[00:01:45] use to attack targets in
[00:01:47] Crimea?
[00:01:49] Last summer, for example, the same Hornets, as we can understand from open sources,
[00:01:53] were not
[00:01:54] yet available.
[00:02:00] the fact that we have long-range drones firepoint, long-range ones are
[00:02:03] quite
[00:02:04] cheap for us,
[00:02:10] new kamikaze drone behemoth, which even has a double warhead,
[00:02:13] part,
[00:02:20] broadland, I think this is an absolute record, such
[00:02:24] an obstacle in front of the bridge has never
[00:02:27] been there, in Crimea it's a crisis period,
[00:02:30] - Aksyonov admits.
[00:02:33] For each direct situation, I will explain the cause and effect of decision-making.
[00:02:36] Therefore, there are no fair schedules today that would, well,
[00:02:40] meet the needs of people in the regions. Benz, based on yesterday's prices,
[00:02:44] how much, how much, how much, do you think how much,
[00:02:47] 100, 120,
[00:02:50] maybe, 145,
[00:02:54] 199, you don't
[00:02:56] want to,
[00:02:59] I want war. Well, you'll still pay for it.
[00:03:02] In society, questions of indignation
[00:03:05] are brewing.
[00:03:08] I am addressing Moscow, Putin, on behalf of the people of
[00:03:11] Crimea. You promised us security and
[00:03:14] a normal life. But in fact, empty
[00:03:17] gas stations, fear, checks, queues. Everything
[00:03:21] flew in.
[00:03:29] In the word.
[00:04:05] So in the Black
[00:04:06] Sea.
[00:04:12] Since the beginning of the naval operation on July 6, the forces of unmanned systems
[00:04:16] of Ukraine and the SBU have reported that they have hit hundreds of units of the Russian shadow
[00:04:20] fleet. The work of the so-called small and medium courier
[00:04:23] tankers has been paralyzed. They cannot export oil products from Russian bases
[00:04:27] and terminals along the Volgodonsk Canal.
[00:04:32] notes the commander of the SBU, Robert Brovdi. Because of this,
[00:04:36] the delivery of scarce gasoline to Crimea through the narrow strait
[00:04:39] of the Azov Sea is also limited. We take care of their
[00:04:43] logistics of all types, which allows
[00:04:46] the transfer of personnel, the delivery of ammunition,
[00:04:50] the transfer of some military
[00:04:52] and other
[00:04:55] weapons, means and forces that are used against us in the
[00:04:58] south or. are launched across
[00:05:01] Ukraine from the Crimean Peninsula,
[00:05:05] and we for the first
[00:05:08] time in history
[00:05:11] are doing this
[00:05:14] without a ground operation, we are creating conditions for them not to be
[00:05:17] there, without spending
[00:05:20] a single life of a Ukrainian
[00:05:22] serviceman.
[00:05:25] The actions of the Ukrainian defense forces in the waters of the Azov and Black
[00:05:28] Seas have already entered the military history of the world, says expert
[00:05:32] and co-founder of the Black Sea Institute of Strategic Studies Andriy
[00:05:35] Klymenko. The Black Sea Fleet of Russia cannot protect
[00:05:39] ships at sea, they practically have no anti-
[00:05:45] operations in the Azov Sea, where a hundred
[00:05:49] ships were hit in the Azov Sea,
[00:05:51] and
[00:05:53] operations in the Black Sea, they have already
[00:05:57] entered world naval
[00:05:59] history, because
[00:06:03] this shows that the Black Sea Fleet, well,
[00:06:06] any naval fleet, it is created for that, its main
[00:06:10] task is to protect its own
[00:06:14] shipping, that is, now to the whole
[00:06:17] world we are showing that the Black Sea Fleet
[00:06:21] is unable to protect its own
[00:06:24] shipping, it is
[00:06:25] defenseless.
[00:06:29] Andriy Klymenko draws attention to the fact that strikes on ships are carried out
[00:06:33] in such a way as to disable them, and not
[00:06:35] sink them. It is knocked out of
[00:06:39] everyone, either the running wheelhouse,
[00:06:42] with all the equipment, or, in
[00:06:46] professional language, the propeller and rudder group,
[00:06:49] that is, the rudder and its
[00:06:53] running gears, that is, so that
[00:06:56] the tanker cannot move, why exactly is that,
[00:06:59] that is, we understand that we
[00:07:02] have to live in this sea, on its coast and in the
[00:07:06] Azov Sea, we all understand and already
[00:07:09] know about the huge, so to speak...
[00:07:12] damage that has already been inflicted on both the Black Sea
[00:07:15] and the Azov Sea, it's huge, all of this, and dolphins
[00:07:19] are dying, and all the
[00:07:22] fauna and water quality are changing, and all this will then
[00:07:25] be restored for decades, the tactic was chosen
[00:07:29] specifically to reduce
[00:07:32] environmental damage to our
[00:07:36] seas, to our own seas. Task number one is to
[00:07:39] stop Russia's maritime logistics, emphasize the commanders.
[00:07:46] The means we use to hit maritime
[00:07:49] targets allow us
[00:07:52] to
[00:07:54] stop maritime logistics, and this is
[00:07:58] our goal, maritime logistics must be stopped, we don't
[00:08:02] necessarily have to sink all the tankers
[00:08:06] in the Azov Sea that transport some
[00:08:09] oil products or lubricants or
[00:08:12] some goods on dry cargo ships, we need
[00:08:16] to stop logistics, so again
[00:08:19] I will say, for war, we all know who, what, where is located,
[00:08:22] what types of ships, we know where to strike, our pilots are knowledgeable,
[00:08:26] there is a tactic for using all means, we know where to strike,
[00:08:30] we strike where
[00:08:37] of the attack means that have appeared in Ukraine gives such a result
[00:08:41] of strikes on logistics.
[00:09:12] the special guidance system, which allowed to hit
[00:09:16] those trucks that were moving, plus, however it may
[00:09:19] sound, but the fact that we have long-range
[00:09:23] firepoint drones, long-range ones at the same time are quite
[00:09:26] cheap, there is even a declared figure of 55
[00:09:30] thousand dollars for one piece, well, and of course, it was also possible
[00:09:33] that the diversification
[00:09:36] of opportunities to receive various intelligence information, because satellite images are needed,
[00:09:40] perhaps some intelligence is also needed.
[00:10:12] this, power generation, electricity
[00:10:15] distribution, gas generation,
[00:10:18] gas storage,
[00:10:20] these are all components of the enemy's logistical components, we
[00:10:24] must deprive him of supplies, the enemy must
[00:10:28] not have the ability to supply his
[00:10:31] troops, his means, including electricity, when military
[00:10:35] units do not have electricity, which they need
[00:10:38] for work, for charging batteries,
[00:10:41] for the work of workshops, for the work of enemy
[00:10:45] control points, they are forced to switch to backup
[00:10:49] power, backup power is generators, generators
[00:10:52] need fuel, with fuel... there are also
[00:10:55] problems that we create for them with logistics. Our citizens
[00:10:59] who are there, they must
[00:11:01] understand that in conditions of hostilities they
[00:11:04] will face some restrictions.
[00:11:08] Hello from Sevastopol, I wanted, I want to
[00:11:11] show you the queues that people stand in to refuel for
[00:11:15] several days, these are abandoned
[00:11:17] cars. We started having problems with gasoline
[00:11:20] back in May, now we simply
[00:11:24] don't have gasoline.
[00:11:33] This issue is becoming common for Crimea, according to preliminary lists,
[00:11:36] only a few gas stations give fuel, prices are breaking
[00:11:40] all new records.
[00:11:43] You know why he goes and laughs? Because a liter
[00:11:46] of gasoline costs 299
[00:11:49] rubles, please, there are no queues, gas stations
[00:11:52] are empty, the hundredth is there.
[00:12:25] I have never spent my money so
[00:12:28] quickly. Some Russians who moved to live on
[00:12:32] the Crimean Peninsula are returning
[00:12:34] home.
[00:12:36] Unfortunately, we decided to temporarily leave Crimea. It was
[00:12:39] not easy, because all our life is here. But we
[00:12:43] could no longer endure restrictions: lack
[00:12:46] of electricity, and along with it lack of water, lack of propane
[00:12:50] gas for the stove, cooking without electricity and gas
[00:12:54] is simply impossible.
[00:14:00] In response, such questions are asked to Putin from Crimea, the main one being why the residents
[00:14:03] of the peninsula were abandoned.
[00:14:06] I address Moscow, Putin, on behalf of the people of
[00:14:10] Crimea. You promised us security and
[00:14:13] a normal life. But in fact, empty
[00:14:16] gas stations, fear, checks, queues and
[00:14:19] complete uncertainty. People don't know what to fuel
[00:14:23] their cars with, how to get to the hospital, and what will happen tomorrow. On
[00:14:27] TV they say everything is under control, but if Crimea lives
[00:14:30] in survival mode, there is no control anymore, you have brought
[00:14:34] the peninsula to conditions in which it becomes impossible
[00:14:38] to live normally, Crimeans want not reports, but
[00:14:41] answers, why were we abandoned,
[00:14:45] did you hear
[00:14:49] what
[00:14:50] arrived?
[00:15:37] in detail for each specific situation, I will explain the cause and effect of decision-
[00:15:41] making. Therefore, there are no fair schedules today that would
[00:15:44] meet the needs of people in the regions. In the near
[00:15:48] future, fair ones will not be available in this case, Crimeans comment on this
[00:15:52] differently in Aksyonov's Telegram channel, many thanks and
[00:15:56] promises to endure, but there are also many
[00:15:57] such conclusions.
[00:16:00] If I understood your address correctly, then until
[00:16:03] the end of the SVO, the situation will not improve, and this is sad.
[00:16:08] Some ask where the promised security
[00:16:11] of Crimeans is? All security measures have
[00:16:14] already been taken, and Kerch did not sleep all night today because
[00:16:18] of humming, shooting and explosions, I'm afraid that God
[00:16:21] forbid it will hit, you really start to fear for your life
[00:16:25] and your loved ones, when will Crimeans sleep
[00:16:28] peacefully, where is the promised security of their
[00:16:39] Russian logistics depletes the military potential of the Russian army,
[00:16:42] notes military expert Ivan
[00:16:44] Kirichevsky.
[00:16:47] And he reminds that preparations for what is obvious
[00:16:51] today began back in autumn.
[00:16:54] It creates a certain element of exhaustion of Russian forces, within
[00:16:57] which, in the south, in these six months, 650 km2 of our
[00:17:01] territory have been liberated, no more comes out,
[00:17:05] well, because Russian drones interfere
[00:17:08] with advancing with mechanized columns, and you won't gain much with
[00:17:11] a broken formation, but the simple fact that because
[00:17:15] the Russians there, in the Zaporizhzhia direction, in
[00:17:19] principle, in the south, began to be systematically processed by drones
[00:17:22] to the appropriate depth, it began somewhere in November-December, even before
[00:17:26] the story with the exclusion of Sterling, accordingly, the fact that
[00:17:30] the Russians cannot now conduct effective offensive actions,
[00:17:34] this is the result of nine months of efforts, at least nine months.
[00:17:37] but well, if
[00:17:41] I repeat, there is no such reduction that Crimea must be hit purely because
[00:17:44] it should be somewhere in the Zaporizhzhia region, as long as the Russians are in
[00:17:47] Crimea, Crimea will have to be hit, the roads to Crimea from
[00:17:51] the Kherson region remain important logistical routes for
[00:17:54] delivering military cargo, critical nodes, the Chongar bridge and
[00:17:58] the Genichesk
[00:17:59] crossing.
[00:18:07] It seems
[00:18:25] that it is not completely finished, because it still does not connect with the passage, for
[00:18:29] what purpose it is being built is also not entirely clear, but it is being built bypassing
[00:18:33] the checkpoint located here,
[00:18:36] we also see that asphalt
[00:18:39] pavement has appeared and is appearing, as you can see in
[00:18:43] the image from July 1, asphalt pavement is appearing in this
[00:18:46] area, where there was previously a dirt road through an additional
[00:18:49] bridge,
[00:18:51] it seems that some road is also leading here now, it
[00:18:54] is developing, and even to, well, and further
[00:18:57] developing, here we also see that
[00:19:01] there is a junction,
[00:19:03] there were plans to probably make some larger transport junction here,
[00:19:07] but... For now, we also see some additional roads leading
[00:19:10] here, what is planned cannot be completely
[00:19:14] said, but there are some plans for this section,
[00:19:17] some modernization of the logistics transport
[00:19:21] infrastructure is also
[00:19:21] underway here,
[00:19:28] here is Chongar and the bridges that were hit repeatedly, they were
[00:19:32] severely damaged down to the supports, which forced the Russian
[00:19:35] troops to deploy pontoon... right: some
[00:19:39] dirt roads, for example, have turned into completely asphalted roads,
[00:19:42] alternative roads have appeared, access roads to the main
[00:19:46] roads, where these bridges are located, and we see
[00:19:50] that, for example, in the Genichesk area, a new
[00:19:53] created crossing is already being asphalted, plus a
[00:19:56] similar situation will most likely also be in the Chongar area, as we
[00:20:00] can see there in 2026, a new
[00:20:04] crossing is also being built in the area.
[00:20:08] some new crossing instead of a bridge, which visually, at least
[00:20:12] it seems that it will not be as easy to destroy it with rocket
[00:20:16] strikes as an ordinary bridge that was
[00:20:18] there before, in the Chongar area, the Russian army
[00:20:22] is building two pontoon crossings and a third access road for
[00:20:25] the crossing, preparing different logistics in this area. The Russian
[00:20:29] army has quite strong engineering services that know how to find
[00:20:32] non-traditional methods and quick solutions, notes military expert
[00:20:36] Ivan Kyrychevsky. This complicates the tasks of the Ukrainian
[00:20:39] defense forces, but there are means to destroy
[00:20:42] this logistics.
[00:20:45] I think they did it in the area of Tsakhovsky
[00:20:47] (Kakhovka).
[00:20:50] they dug a pit there, put wagons with rubble there, and even used wagons
[00:20:54] with rubble as a base for an embankment, and then an embankment, and
[00:20:57] roughly speaking, it looked like a multi-layered matryoshka doll, which
[00:21:00] they would try to break with something, in principle,
[00:21:04] and it turns out that they had to work with automobile
[00:21:07] transport, what is still strong
[00:21:11] in the Russians, even despite their degradation in certain segments
[00:21:15] over the past four years, their engineering component remains strong, they build
[00:21:19] all these crossings.
[00:21:23] New kamikaze drone, which even has a double warhead,
[00:21:27] we have 40 kg in its part, 35
[00:21:30] kg in the tail part, that is, such, in principle, as on the
[00:21:33] Storm Shadow missile, double penetration, that is, certain means,
[00:21:37] with which, in theory, it is possible to work on these bridge crossings are available
[00:21:40] to the Ukrainian defense
[00:21:42] forces.
[00:21:46] Russian military, it seems, prepared in advance for possible strikes by defense forces.
[00:21:57] That is, all this time they were preparing for something like this,
[00:22:01] perhaps it is more or less obvious that such a point can be
[00:22:05] attacked, because the logistics in the south of the
[00:22:08] temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine depend on it,
[00:22:11] and most likely they understood
[00:22:15] that sooner or later the armed forces would be able to
[00:22:18] destroy these bridges, but they...
[00:22:50] 100% a hornet arrived, it has 200
[00:22:54] kilograms of explosives,
[00:22:56] Russia works with kamikaze groups, mechanized assaults have not been observed
[00:23:00] for a long time.
[00:23:06] The enemy is actively conducting its offensive operations there, and
[00:23:10] all, all its offensive operations today boil down to the fact that
[00:23:13] it works with drones and
[00:23:16] throws kamikaze infantry forward, forward.
[00:23:20] in small, very small groups, what we observe, it
[00:23:23] really looks very, very strange,
[00:23:27] when the enemy's living force goes to destruction,
[00:23:30] and the whole task of the Ukrainian defense forces is to detect and destroy, detect and
[00:23:34] destroy, detect and destroy, that is, we have not observed mechanized
[00:23:37] assaults for a long time, and well,
[00:23:40] for a long time, we have not observed such assaults
[00:23:44] in the southern direction.
[00:23:47] The Russian army in 2026 began to
[00:23:50] lose eight times more
[00:23:54] servicemen than the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to analysts
[00:23:58] from the Washington analytical center CSIS.
[00:24:01] If the ratio of losses between Russia and Ukraine for most of the time was
[00:24:04] 2:1 or 3:1, then in the first half of 2026
[00:24:08] it increased to eight to one, according to estimates. According to
[00:24:12] some data, more than 90% of Russian losses
[00:24:14] are due to drone strikes, and not to direct
[00:24:17] combat clashes.
[00:24:20] The guys sent a video from Primorskoe in the Zaporizhzhia
[00:24:24] direction. The situation in this sector of the front is very difficult: fighters, under
[00:24:27] the cover of our drones, are trying to advance, but the enemy designates this
[00:24:31] settlement as its own and deploys a cloud of
[00:24:35] drones against us. The war in the sky is now brighter than on
[00:24:37] the ground. The life expectancy of
[00:24:40] a Russian attack pilot at the front in Ukraine is now on average
[00:24:44] 20-30 minutes, the CIA director
[00:24:46] recently stated.
[00:24:53] The average life expectancy of a Russian recruit who
[00:24:57] is now entering the battlefield in Ukraine is estimated at
[00:25:00] 20-30
[00:25:01] minutes,
[00:25:05] 20-30 minutes, this is because drones based on
[00:25:08] artificial intelligence have turned into real
[00:25:11] specialized and inexpensive killing
[00:25:14] machines.
[00:25:20] Ukraine's mastering of new technologies has become, I quote, a powerful
[00:25:23] factor that levels the playing field, and has led to a decrease
[00:25:26] in the pace of advancement of the Russian army, notes the CIA
[00:25:29] director. At the NATO summit in Ankara, a NATO representative told
[00:25:32] journalists that the pace of advancement of the Russian army in Ukraine in June
[00:25:36] decreased fourfold compared to the same
[00:25:39] period last
[00:26:02] skiy bus station, passenger buses depart from here daily,
[00:26:06] including to Russia and Belarus. The Latvian government
[00:26:10] plans to ban bus routes to these countries. Politicians refer to
[00:26:13] the conclusions of law enforcement agencies that bus service between Latvia and
[00:26:17] Russia-Belarus threatens national security.
[00:26:21] Passenger transportation between Latvia and Russia and Belarus has already
[00:26:24] been minimized. Airplanes do not fly to these countries from Latvia,
[00:28:10] In a matter of seconds, the explosion destroys the cooling towers of the nuclear power plant,
[00:28:14] an impressive sight, but
[00:28:17] dismantling the entire plant takes decades. This
[00:28:20] happens because many materials are radioactive and cannot simply
[00:28:24] be disposed of as nuclear waste used to be.
[00:28:28] Nuclear energy is experiencing a renaissance worldwide.
[00:28:30] worldwide.
[00:28:40] whether operators about decommissioning a nuclear power plant, what happens when the plant's service life comes to an end, and most importantly, how much will its decommissioning and disposal
[00:28:42] cost.
[00:28:47] The amazing story of Alexander Gabushev, known as Sasha
[00:28:50] the shaman, who goes from Yakutia to Moscow to overthrow
[00:28:54] the government. What does this mean? This means the lightning of God's
[00:28:57] wrath.
[00:29:05] I am not such a simple person, I am a heavenly person, a heavenly fighter,
[00:29:09] and from now on Putin is not your decree, live
[00:29:12] freely, this is the law, please come out, what kind of
[00:29:16] cordon, and why, on what grounds is there
[00:29:18] a cordon here, come on, come on,
[00:29:21] come on,
[00:29:25] protected persons have the right, in all circumstances, to
[00:29:29] respect for their person, honor, family... rights,
[00:29:33] religious convictions and ceremonies, customs
[00:29:35] and usages; they shall at all times be treated humanely, and
[00:29:39] in particular they shall be protected from all acts of violence or
[00:29:43] intimidation, from insults and the curiosity of the crowd.
