00:00:00based on the court's decision, whatever it may be regarding her, then we will see further. We
00:00:04have literally two minutes, a little more. I will briefly ask, trust in President
00:00:07Zelensky has hardly changed, despite the protests. These
00:00:11are new assessments from
00:00:13KMIS, the Kyiv Institute of Sociology. Please tell me, first, is it possible
00:00:16to talk about the adequacy of such assessments,
00:00:20well, the realism and correspondence to reality
00:00:23of relevant sociological studies, because many say
00:00:27that all of this is very selective. Please.
00:00:31Well, it could be a product of the phenomenon of unity
00:00:34around the flag, because the country is, as it were, in
00:00:37conditions of war, regardless of appointments, cardboard, or anything
00:00:41else. And in this regard, focus groups
00:00:44or more detailed questions would be more indicative.
00:00:48That is, overall, trust in us is at a high level, because
00:00:52the president, one way or another, embodies
00:00:54the attributes of a state and is the supreme
00:00:58commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Therefore, to say that this
00:01:02is an assessment of the politician himself, I would not. And, in fact, this
00:01:06figure in political analysis does not
00:01:09mean much. No, but the
00:01:11correspondence of these figures, which are announced
00:01:15and presented by sociologists, to reality,
00:01:18that is, how much can we say that now, during this time of war, when there are certain
00:01:21limitations, difficulties for conducting sociological research, how
00:01:25realistic are they, in your opinion?
00:01:29No, I do not exclude that people indeed answer that way. The problem is
00:01:32that we also have other surveys where, for example,
00:01:36about two-thirds of people say that we are moving in the wrong
00:01:39direction. That is, how can it be that we are moving in
00:01:43the wrong direction and trusting the one who is
00:01:46moving us in that direction? This is indeed a contradiction, and it is
00:01:49on the verge, let's say, of a certain inexplicability.
00:01:53But I do not exclude that the answers indeed
00:01:56sounded this way, and I explained above, this is the effect
00:02:00of unity around the flag, above all else. Accordingly, even if
00:02:03it is not liked, there is an understanding that unity
00:02:07is necessary, even if, well, let's say,
00:02:10the goals set
00:02:22decision, perhaps it will take place, regarding Ms. Stefanyshyn, it will take place already during
00:02:26our broadcast between 9 and 10 in the morning, the court must
00:02:29convene. If the decision is already ready, it will simply be announced, and our
00:02:33correspondents who will work in the courtroom will quickly
00:02:36inform us about it, and we will also
00:02:39announce this information. I remind you they are asking for bail of 13
00:02:43million UAH, and Ms. Stefanyshyn said that for her it is too much, well,
00:02:46in fact, we are following, we are also following
00:02:49who will become the new ambassador of Ukraine
00:02:53to the United States, because this is an extremely important
00:02:56story as of now, well, and information from Ukrainian
00:03:00regions, all this awaits you
00:03:03in our Warsaw-Kyiv News issue, in a few moments, do not switch channels.
00:03:33This is News Warsaw-Kyiv. My name is Khrystyna Yatskiv. Thank you for
00:03:36trusting Slavi and Espreso.
00:03:39Three people died, and 19 others were injured
00:03:43as a result of a Russian strike on Sumy region. Russian troops attacked
00:03:46the civilian infrastructure of the city with four guided aerial bombs, the
00:03:50National Police reported. Near the impact sites, damaged
00:03:54multi-story buildings, non-residential premises, and infrastructure
00:03:57facilities, with hundreds of windows blown out. The aftermath
00:04:01is being dealt with.
00:04:05Three people died due to Russian strikes on Balakliia in
00:04:08Kharkiv region. This was reported by the head of the city military
00:04:12administration Vitaliy Karabans. The occupiers
00:04:15twice attacked the residential district of the city. The first
00:04:18strike destroyed a private house, a woman died, and a fire
00:04:22broke out at the scene. The second hit occurred near another
00:04:25home and claimed the lives of a man and a woman. At
00:04:28the enemy attack sites, relevant
00:04:31services are working.
00:04:35One person died, and four others were injured as a result of enemy attacks in
00:04:39Zaporizhzhia region, reported the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military
00:04:42Administration Ivan Fedorov. During the day,
00:04:45the occupiers inflicted over a thousand strikes on
00:04:4866 settlements
00:04:51in the region. 77 reports were received about damage
00:04:54to infrastructure facilities, housing, and
00:04:56cars.
00:05:02Uninterrupted operation of electricity, heat, and
00:05:05water supply systems, protection of critical infrastructure facilities,
00:05:08strengthening of air defense, and development of Ukraine's network.
00:05:12The National Security and Defense Council
00:05:15approved Kyiv's resilience plan.
00:05:18The document is intended to prepare the capital for possible Russian attacks on
00:05:22critical infrastructure during the autumn-winter
00:05:25period. This was announced by the NSDC Secretary Ihor
00:05:28Klymenko. According to him, implementation has
00:05:31already begun. We remind you that in March, the NSDC approved
00:05:35comprehensive resilience plans for regions and individual
00:05:38cities.
00:05:43Strengthening sanctions against Russia, energy security
00:05:46of Ukraine, and the creation of a special tribunal are the main
00:05:49topics of negotiations in Kyiv between the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry
00:05:53Andriy Sybiha and the Minister of Foreign Affairs
00:05:56of Latvia, Baiba Braže. The parties also
00:05:59discussed Ukraine's further movement towards the EU and
00:06:03the opening of all negotiation clusters. Andriy Sybiha
00:06:06thanked Latvia for its unwavering support for Ukraine,
00:06:09in particular for assistance in rebuilding the affected areas.
00:06:42true leadership, annually, directing
00:06:45a quarter of a percent of GDP to military aid
00:06:48to Ukraine. We are going this
00:06:52path together, side by side, into
00:06:54the future. As for our bilateral
00:06:58relations, they are excellent, wonderful. We
00:07:02support Ukraine's path to the European
00:07:04Union. We are with
00:07:08you, we want to congratulate you on
00:07:11the clusters you have already started, and I
00:07:15think that the beginning
00:07:17of these clusters is only the beginning
00:07:19of the process.
00:07:22Pentagon chief Pete Heksed denied
00:07:25information about the alleged depletion of key missile
00:07:28stocks in the US armed forces. He wrote about this on
00:07:31social network X. Thus, the Pentagon chief reacted to a CNN
00:07:35report, which, citing sources,
00:07:38claimed that the US military had spent about 80%
00:07:43of its missile stocks for Tet air defense
00:07:46systems. Heksed called this information
00:07:50false. According to him, the TV channel spread fake
00:07:54news, and such reports do not correspond
00:07:57to reality.
00:08:02Russia plans to deploy a North Korean military
00:08:05unit near the Ukrainian border to participate in the war
00:08:09against Ukraine. This was reported
00:08:14with reference to sources in the Main Intelligence Directorate. According to
00:08:17the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Andriy Cherniak, Moscow
00:08:21also expects to receive up to 120 ballistic
00:08:24missiles and six launchers for strikes
00:08:28on our state. This refers to a unit of about 90
00:08:31North Korean servicemen who may
00:08:35become part of the 112th missile
00:08:38brigade.
00:08:44Poland handed Ukraine a new list of places for
00:08:47exhumations. In Lviv, a meeting of the intergovernmental
00:08:50working group on dignified burials
00:08:54was held. The implementation of agreements
00:08:57reached during the previous meeting in
00:09:00Warsaw last year was summarized. This was reported by the First Deputy
00:09:03Minister of Culture Ivan Verbytskyi. He noted
00:09:07that the Ukrainian side issued all permits for work
00:09:11in the agreed areas on the territory of our
00:09:13state. Polish colleagues handed over a list of places
00:09:17for further work on the territory of
00:09:20Ukraine.
00:09:24The Polish President Karol Nawrocki must categorically
00:09:27take the side of those who are afraid of rudeness and violence
00:09:30on the streets today. This was said by Prime Minister Donald
00:09:34Tusk during a press conference.
00:09:36He responded to a journalist's question
00:09:40to comment on the anniversary.
00:09:49I would very much like the President to unequivocally side with those who
00:09:52today fear violence and rudeness on the streets, which are typically
00:09:56demonstrated by semi-criminal groups, often associated with
00:09:59hooligan groups. I would prefer it to be clear, I
00:10:03know that now people are increasingly afraid that something will happen to them
00:10:07just on the street. I would like President Nawrocki to stand guarding
00:10:10people's safety, not to show.
00:10:25Nawrocki opposes any manifestations of violence, regardless of
00:10:28who is its victim or perpetrator, and expects
00:10:32severe punishment for all who commit aggression on
00:10:36Polish
00:10:36streets.
00:15:38Good morning, and the urgent issue that worries, first
00:15:41of all, citizens, of course, and also the military-political leadership of the state,
00:15:45is ballistic missiles, which the enemy can launch on the territory of Ukraine,
00:15:48and anti-ballistic missiles, with which we can respond today to these
00:15:52threats. I would like us to hear from relevant
00:15:56and real Serhiy Flash
00:15:59Beskresny, who actually stated Russia's capabilities
00:16:03today to strike the territory of our state with ballistic missiles,
00:16:06how many of these missiles can
00:16:09Russia launch and in what period of time?
00:16:12Let's listen.
00:16:15According to my estimates, this is about 100 ballistic missiles every
00:16:19month that the enemy can launch at us. Now this
00:16:22density is increased, because they need such a demonstrative
00:16:25reaction, yes. Now attacks are partially happening at
00:16:29the expense of reserves, but further attacks will happen.
00:16:33Here, I said from such a number, about 100, well, I guess so. Adviser to the President
00:16:41of Ukraine on technological development, well, here
00:16:45is such a threat, what does it indicate and
00:16:48Ukraine's capabilities to react or
00:16:52prepare a defensive response precisely to such
00:16:56enemy capabilities today,
00:16:57please.
00:17:00Well, it indicates that the enemy is now betting
00:17:03on ballistic shelling, primarily...
00:17:07from this, the capital Kyiv and Kyiv region, we saw this
00:17:11once again the day before yesterday, when
00:17:15many warehouses of many very organizations, including
00:17:18very large and
00:17:22nationally known ones, including Rozetka, including
00:17:25Nova Poshta, including and what else
00:17:29is there, Epicenter,
00:17:33certainly, foreign organizations, trading
00:17:36firms. not very famous. Yesterday
00:17:39Puma was mentioned, yesterday Toyota was mentioned, but I will not
00:17:42list them, they suffered strikes, warehouses suffered
00:17:45strikes from Russian troops, ballistic strikes
00:17:48primarily. Why are these strikes inflicted? They
00:17:51are inflicted because the enemy knows that today
00:17:54Ukraine does not have enough ballistic
00:17:58interceptors, it has launchers, it has anti-aircraft missile
00:18:01systems, but it does not have enough interceptors to
00:18:04ensure the protection of the capital from these strikes. And therefore, the enemy
00:18:08uses this. What Flash called these figures, well, they
00:18:12fluctuate, 60+ to 90 Iskander
00:18:15missiles per month Russia can produce,
00:18:19and accordingly launch on the territory of Ukraine. Besides
00:18:22Iskanders, we see that information
00:18:25about the possible transfer of North Korean
00:18:29operational-tactical missile systems to western Russia, which are similar to
00:18:32Iskander in their tactical and technical data, and even
00:18:36surpass them to some extent. Primarily in terms of range and warhead power.
00:18:39In addition, the enemy very often now uses
00:18:42Zircons, which are anti-ship missiles
00:18:46that develop hypersonic speed and
00:18:49also must be shot down only by Patriot or SAMP/T. And
00:18:53the enemy also very often uses
00:18:56missiles for S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems, which
00:18:59are re-equipped for strikes on ground targets. The danger of these
00:19:03missiles lies in the fact that they use shrapnel.
00:19:06That is, it is an anti-aircraft missile, in fact,
00:19:09yes, and anti-aircraft missile, anti-aircraft missiles,
00:19:13meaning, manufactured by the Russian Federation, they use a remote
00:19:16detonation, which involves
00:19:19approaching an aerial target, initiating the warhead.
00:19:22This warhead ejects shrapnel, and with the help of this
00:19:26shrapnel, the aerial target is hit. Well, in the same
00:19:29way, this warhead works on ground targets, and it is
00:19:33dangerous for people who suddenly
00:19:36found themselves in the radius of this warhead. Therefore, such
00:19:40is the current tactic of the Russian Federation, particularly against
00:19:43the capital. I want to repeat once again, it is extremely
00:19:46difficult to resist it in conditions
00:19:48of critical shortage of interceptors. The
00:19:52options, the options are actually exactly
00:19:56two, or even three. The first
00:20:00is to continue to hope that partners will provide us
00:20:04with these interceptors, but there are never enough of them, and there will be a deficit.
00:20:09The second option is to develop our own
00:20:12systems. The first is our own ballistic systems that will hit
00:20:15enemy launchers, strike their facilities, airfields,
00:20:19factories, in order to reduce their
00:20:22ballistic potential. And the third option
00:20:25is to create our own anti-ballistic defense systems. Well, now
00:20:29we are moving towards creating
00:20:32an anti-ballistic system for
00:20:35our...
00:20:42Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the defense forces will destroy ballistic
00:20:46missile launchers on Russian territory to reduce strikes on Ukraine.
00:20:50He announced this during a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council
00:20:54yesterday, and this is actually a task for all
00:20:57responsible parties present at the National Security and
00:21:00Defense Council. At the same time, there is also
00:21:03the following opinion, I will ask, perhaps you
00:21:07will react to this, the host of military television Army
00:21:10TV and military blogger Serhiy Misyura noted
00:21:13that the uniqueness of this attack, it was
00:21:17unplanned by the Russians. A planned
00:21:20attack of 4-6 missiles was supposed to happen today.
00:21:24A large one of 18-22 missiles happened only on the first
00:21:27day, so to speak, opening a new month. Today it was
00:21:31a clear response to our strikes on Wildberries warehouses, which
00:21:34actually demonstrates that for them this is a painful issue. Let me remind you that
00:21:37Wildberries is 4% of Russian
00:21:39GDP.
00:21:42Not about Wildberries specifically, but about Russia's capabilities
00:21:45to accumulate over a certain period and, well, can
00:21:49it be said that they are essentially spending unplanned
00:21:52what they had planned for a longer
00:21:55time? It is quite possible that they may spend
00:21:58unplanned, dip into their reserves, after
00:22:01which there may be a certain pause, well,
00:22:05which will be aimed at accumulating
00:22:08strike assets in order to then create
00:22:12and deliver subsequent strikes, well, but this does not really matter, well,
00:22:15since they have production, well, okay, well,
00:22:18there will be a week's break. They will now sacrifice their
00:22:22strategic reserves, throw 10-20,
00:22:2530 more missiles than they planned from the very
00:22:28beginning, at what stage, then there will be a pause for
00:22:31a week or two, and then they will throw another 30 or
00:22:3540. The only significance that
00:22:39such a pause can have is to give us
00:22:42the opportunity to buy time to still receive a certain
00:22:46number of interceptors, and for this, and this next hypothetical...
00:22:50it will be less successful, or more, let's say, successful for our
00:22:53air defense to work, and we will repel, not zero missiles, but we will shoot down
00:22:57a certain number of enemy ballistic missiles, which he will launch,
00:23:01but this does not matter much, since, well, there
00:23:04is still production, and this production
00:23:07will still outweigh the capabilities of our
00:23:10partners in supplying us with interceptors. You know, in
00:23:13Europe they very often talked, ridiculing
00:23:16Russia's economic capabilities, that its economy is somewhere,
00:23:20the economy of one Italy, yes, NATO is a huge number of countries, dozens
00:23:24of countries, and cumulatively, of course, this is an incomparable potential,
00:23:27they also talked about this in Britain, so they said, we will certainly win, because our
00:23:31potential is greater, but now we see that Russia produces enough missiles, but
00:23:35all this potential cannot create countermeasures for these missiles,
00:23:39well, in fact, that's how it turns out, so you see, somehow
00:23:42the reality here is not exactly as it
00:23:46was said, and plus for Russia also.
00:23:50that other tyrannies help it, in particular
00:23:53the North Korean republic led by Kim Jong Un.
00:23:57Russia plans to deploy in Voronezh, in Voronezh
00:24:01region a missile unit for
00:24:04launching missiles into Ukraine, there are different figures as to how many
00:24:07of these Korean units can launch
00:24:11into Ukraine, but very briefly,
00:24:14please, what are these threats for Ukraine and how can the world influence, perhaps,
00:24:18the behavior of Kim Jong Un and his
00:24:21protector, the Chinese People's Republic, well,
00:24:25please. I will start with the second question, the answer
00:24:28is no way, why do I answer this way, because
00:24:32this is not the first move by North Korea in this sense, and how did the world react when
00:24:36North Korea in 2023 started supplying
00:24:38ammunition for the Russian Federation? Not at all. And
00:24:42how did the world react when North Korea started supplying again in
00:24:462023-2024 those same ballistic missiles
00:24:48KN-232, which are now arriving, and will obviously arrive on
00:24:52the territory of Ukraine, in the interests of the Russian Federation? The world did not
00:24:56react at all. How did the world react when
00:25:00Korean, I mean, North Korea sent its troops to
00:25:03Kursk region so that they would take part in the war
00:25:07against Ukrainian troops? The answer is no way. Honestly, I have
00:25:11great doubts that if now on the western
00:25:14border of Russia, operational-tactical missile
00:25:17systems of North Korea appear,
00:25:20the world will not be able to influence it in any way,
00:25:23so that's my answer to the second part of your question. The first part
00:25:27of your question, well, what are the threats here?
00:25:30The same as from Iskanders, only there will be even more, there will be even
00:25:33more ballistic missiles launched at Ukrainian cities and
00:25:37Kyiv in particular, that's the main risk.
00:25:41And I mentioned that this is practically the same
00:25:44Iskander, meaning North, North Korean
00:25:48ballistic missiles, but... to some extent, they even surpass
00:25:52Iskander, primarily in terms of flight range and primarily in terms of warhead
00:25:55power. They said that this missile is very inaccurate,
00:25:59the first, the first samples, they were very inaccurate, not...
00:26:02Well, here, you know, as they say, it's a double-edged sword,
00:26:06hypothetically, they aimed at some warehouse
00:26:09on the outskirts of Kyiv, missed by 500
00:26:12meters, hit it, but this is a real threat, and we will see how we manage to
00:26:16react to it. Very briefly, there is another question about the threats that Russia
00:26:20is actually creating today, possibly on the territory of the European
00:26:22Union. Please tell me, in your opinion, what happened
00:26:26in Leipzig, where
00:26:28practically, out of nowhere, next to
00:26:32a Ukrainian plane on
00:26:35an important platform at the airport,
00:26:39a drone appears, presumably with
00:26:40a warhead?
00:26:44Well, an investigation needs to be conducted, actually,
00:26:46but I don't have details
00:26:50of what happened in Leipzig, yes, but one must understand that
00:26:54the Russian Federation will conduct hybrid
00:26:57operations on the territory of Europe, EU countries,
00:27:00and NATO member countries.
00:27:02And this is not the first time that unknown drones have appeared
00:27:06in the skies over Germany. I want to remind you,
00:27:09this happened last year, and Munich
00:27:12airport was stopped because of this, and
00:27:15now we will obviously not be surprised if this drone
00:27:19has a Russian trace.
00:27:22It is actually very difficult to do, well, dear Lord, well, they found
00:27:25some person on the territory of Germany, Russian
00:27:28agents, gave them a drone, and asked them to
00:27:32carry out a provocation. This is my, this is my assumption, I want to repeat once again, I
00:27:36do not have the details, but to conduct a hybrid operation by Russian
00:27:40agents on the territory of the union, well now it's small, and let's remember
00:27:43assassination attempts, assassination attempts on the preparation of an assassination attempt
00:27:46on the head of Rheinmetall, and now an assassination attempt was being prepared on one of the drone
00:27:50builders, well, and let's also remember that drones crossed
00:27:53the air corridor for President
00:27:57Zelensky's plane in Ireland, there was also a story, so we see
00:28:00Russia, unfortunately, can do this, the question here is of our... partners, that they must first of all
00:28:30cannot produce many missiles. but the Russians are producing.
00:28:34You know, my previous colleague spoke about hybrid
00:28:37warfare, and this is the result of a great
00:28:40Russian effort, over the past 30
00:28:44years: "Oh, peaceful ones, we give you
00:28:47cheap gas, develop your economy, why do you need
00:28:50to spend money on defense and security, when in
00:28:53Europe there is peace, stability, and everything will be fine, spend money
00:28:57on social security, on fighting diseases,
00:29:01raise the living... standard of the population," and, in fact,
00:29:04there were also political forces that took money for it, there were
00:29:08political forces that liked it, that came
00:29:11to power on it, there were what
00:29:13are called
00:29:16useful idiots, to a large extent, what did this lead to, that over
00:29:19the last 25 years in Europe, the military-industrial
00:29:23complex was practically shut down to zero, and now, when
00:29:26they started producing, it turns out it's not so easy,
00:29:29a factory that makes weapons, it's not just...
00:29:32to un-preserve, to recruit people, to restore
00:29:35technologies, but to restore the supply
00:29:38of raw materials, this is all very difficult, and the Russians did not
00:29:42disappear, these 25 years they continued to develop their
00:29:45military-industrial complex and invest colossal
00:29:49money in their defense, therefore the economic
00:29:52potential, of course, is thousands of times stronger,
00:29:55the question is different, that it takes time to
00:29:59catch up and turn all this around.
00:30:18just as it is difficult to un-preserve and remember this story, it is also more difficult to curtail it
00:30:22if something happens, that is, the horses may be harder to harness,
00:30:26but it is also difficult to stop them in reality, and here
00:30:28it is actually about a more distant perspective.
00:30:32given what you said, the Russian Federation is not disappearing anywhere, and unfortunately,
00:30:36what is coming to our "balans," as medieval Frenchmen used to say,
00:30:39yes, well, unfortunately, the fact that it is not disappearing
00:30:42means, means new challenges for us, for our
00:30:46economy, for our business. The Russian Federation destroyed two logistics
00:30:50complexes of Epicenter in Kyiv and the region,
00:30:53Nova Poshta's sorting center, hit the heart of Novus logistics,
00:30:56Silpo warehouses, six people died.
