00:00:03Every morning for me starts not with joy, but with a feeling
00:00:07of discomfort, my joints are like chained, I can barely
00:00:11get out of bed, my back aches, my knees crack, movements
00:00:14are constrained, even such simple things as climbing stairs
00:00:18or going for a walk have become unbearable, it feels like
00:00:22something is wrong with my joints, I am deprived of freedom and
00:00:26the joy of movement, but you don't need to tolerate it anymore, Cagia...
00:00:30600 became the solution that restored my comfort:
00:00:33nature, walks, and I enjoy
00:00:37life again, everything happened, problems in the knees and shoulders,
00:00:41stiffness and crunching during movement, morning immobility
00:00:45and swelling. KGN-600. I live
00:00:48actively again and without limitations, movement became easy,
00:00:51and life became full. KGN-600 will support
00:00:55your joints. Choose freedom
00:00:58of movement. KGN-600. Live freely and
00:01:01move easily. Do not ignore arthritis,
00:01:05arthrosis, bursitis, osteoarthritis,
00:01:07rheumatoid arthritis, gout, cartilage
00:01:11and ligament damage. You don't need to tolerate it anymore.
00:01:14KGN-600 became the solution that restored
00:01:17my comfort. Nature, walks, and I
00:01:20enjoy life again. And there were all sorts of things, problems in
00:01:24the knees and shoulders, stiffness and crunching during
00:01:28movement, morning immobility. Swelling.
00:01:31KGN-600. I live actively again and without

00:02:41Espresso together with the charity foundation "Man and Law" ask to join
00:02:45the collection. I wish you health. We are infantrymen of the second battalion
00:02:48of the 109th separate brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We are fighting on
00:02:52the Pokrovsky direction. To effectively destroy the enemy, military
00:02:55equipment must be systematically charged. This is not always
00:02:58possible due to difficult conditions at the front. We appeal to the viewers and
00:03:02readers of Espresso with a request to support the most important
00:03:05collection for military charging stations, Welstrum stations,
00:03:09designed specifically for military needs and fully adapted to
00:03:13military operations, capable of replacing generators and providing
00:03:16fighters with energy even in field conditions. These silent and
00:03:20powerful charging stations are necessary for performing combat
00:03:23missions. Every hryvnia transferred will allow us to quickly
00:03:27transfer to our defenders such needed. Volody, thank you for
00:03:31understanding, glory to Ukraine, glory,
00:03:44are in the Armed Forces, but ready to continue their path in
00:03:48the ground forces, the main condition is that your
00:03:51Armed Forces must be fixed until June 12,
00:03:542026, and the report must be
00:03:58submitted by September 20.
00:04:00You have every right to start with a clean slate. The choice
00:04:04of one of the top units is your guarantee of decent service
00:04:07conditions, along with the best specialists. First
00:04:11step: submit a report through Army Plus or the first
00:04:14recruitment center of the ground forces. Second -
00:04:18wait for approval, it will take up to seven days.
00:04:21Third step: get "in transit" status and have
00:04:25five days to get to the unit. Choose
00:04:28a unit and return to service, find out
00:04:32the list of units on the website
00:04:33szch.army.gov.ua,
00:04:36or call the toll-free hotline. 0800
00:04:40605
00:04:40100.
00:04:44air pollution was maximal this same
00:04:47day. we will talk about this now. also
00:04:51remember that we announced strikes
00:04:54on
00:04:57the sewage system, on the city water supply. including
00:05:00the capital prime minister,
00:05:04former prime minister Shmehal, and current minister of
00:05:08fuel and energy, I think that's what this ministry is called, because they
00:05:11so often... Imenovych, I can't keep track, to be honest,
00:05:15please forgive me, so we will talk now with Oleksandr Serhiyenko,
00:05:19director of the Andriyevsky Research Center, Institute of the City, Mr. Oleksandr, I greet
00:05:23you,
00:05:26good health to everyone, how
00:05:29is the air in Kyiv now, if you are in Kyiv, of course, are there
00:05:33any consequences of these night
00:05:35strikes still felt,
00:05:39oh, excuse me, can you speak louder, because I'm lazy. I hear, okay, okay,
00:05:43please, how is the air in Kyiv now, by the way, after these
00:05:47strikes, can you smell, so to speak, the smell of fire, or
00:05:50ammonia,
00:05:55well, the usual state, after
00:05:58the attack, well, Kyiv residents, I think, are already used
00:06:01to these smells, it's
00:06:05the fifth year of the war, and here, here
00:06:09we can't do anything, but in many ways...
00:06:13Let's talk about where we can, what can be done, well,
00:06:17for example, to prevent that catastrophic scenario,
00:06:20when the enemy will try to deprive Kyiv residents
00:06:24of water or a functioning sewage system, about which
00:06:27Minister Shmyhal
00:06:28spoke,
00:06:33well, I would,
00:06:37I would advise listening not only
00:06:40to the Vice Prime Minister and
00:06:43political scientists or generals who
00:06:47draw apocalyptic pictures,
00:06:51but also listening to other
00:06:54sides in this, well,
00:06:57in this conversation, I have repeatedly said
00:07:01on different platforms
00:07:03that the fear of
00:07:07disabling
00:07:10the Bortnytska station. Well,
00:07:13on the one hand, it's
00:07:15greatly
00:07:17exaggerated, and on the other hand, I would
00:07:21advise specialists in political science
00:07:25or military affairs not
00:07:28to delve into the sphere
00:07:31of water supply and sewerage,
00:07:34well, first of all, they scare
00:07:38that there will be flooding with feces,
00:07:42well, don't think that there are such
00:07:46inept uncles
00:07:49at the water utility who have not worked for many years in
00:07:53this system, and do not know how it
00:07:55is done, first of all, if suddenly
00:07:59any sewage pumping
00:08:02station fails, then the
00:08:05water supply to the corresponding
00:08:08microdistrict, quarter, or
00:08:12territorial unit is immediately
00:08:15stopped, so it is simply impossible
00:08:19for the sewage system to be flooded, to rise from the
00:08:23basement to the house, that
00:08:27cannot happen, because it can never
00:08:30happen, and secondly,
00:08:33last year all
00:08:37sewage and water pumping
00:08:40stations were...
00:08:42equipped with backup electricity
00:08:45generators, if the electricity supply
00:08:48was interrupted, they would turn on and ensure
00:08:52uninterrupted operation of both water supply systems and
00:08:56wastewater disposal systems, of course, there were failures,
00:09:00I remember one time there was no water for three
00:09:03hours, but well, this is a normal
00:09:07technical process, and
00:09:10administrative ones can be. disagreements, anywhere,
00:09:14anywhere, and as for the Bortnytska
00:09:18station itself, they also scare that if
00:09:21the sludge fields are washed into
00:09:24the Dnieper, I assure you, this sludge
00:09:28was still about 20 years ago,
00:09:31it, from it they made
00:09:35briquettes and sold them to agricultural enterprises, because it is a very
00:09:39valuable fertilizer.
00:09:43Then environmentalists there raised the alarm, because there
00:09:46were salts of heavy metals, and they stopped
00:09:50doing this, and now these sludge
00:09:53lies
00:09:55as dead weight in the Bortnytska
00:09:59aeration fields,
00:10:02regarding the capacity of the station itself, there are actually
00:10:06three stations, three blocks, in order
00:10:09to receive sewage water from Kyiv, it is enough
00:10:12to operate only two blocks
00:10:16with plenty,
00:10:18so if one or two are disabled,
00:10:22the third can work. or two
00:10:25others, which will perform
00:10:27purification, but even if we take
00:10:31the worst option, that there will be no
00:10:34purification, Kyiv now, well,
00:10:38at maximum, maximum
00:10:40discharges
00:10:43about a million cubic meters
00:10:46of water, sewage
00:10:49per day into the Bortnytska station, and past
00:10:52Kyiv the Dnieper is not... This is 118
00:10:56million. That is, if even all
00:11:00the, excuse me, sewage of the city of Kyiv, and let's not
00:11:04forget that there are probably 90% just
00:11:07water,
00:11:10if it is discharged into the Dnieper, then
00:11:13in the Kaniv Sea, natural
00:11:17purification will simply occur, it is
00:11:200.9%
00:11:23of that which passes through Kyiv,
00:11:27so the water will be naturally
00:11:30purified in the slow current
00:11:33of the Kaniv Sea, mhm, and even
00:11:36the threat to those cities that
00:11:39are located downstream of the Dnieper, they
00:11:43are greatly exaggerated, because there are also
00:11:46treatment facilities there, and
00:11:49no one will risk supplying
00:11:53untreated water to the city
00:11:57water supply network, so
00:11:59I would once again advise political scientists,
00:12:03generals and
00:12:06other
00:12:08figures
00:12:11of the public front
00:12:14not to delve into those thickets where
00:12:18they are not generals and not political scientists,
00:12:21you see, after all, knowledge of sewage is also... very, very,
00:12:25very important when it comes to such a huge organism as a city, we are very grateful
00:12:29for you clarifying things for us here, clarity and the right perspective on
00:12:33how to look at all this, and I see that the city was
00:12:37preparing and is preparing for these threats, this is also an important
00:12:41, I think, outcome of our
00:12:43conversation,
00:12:49provided with backup generators,
00:12:53diesel fuel,
00:12:56there are repair crews, there is spare
00:12:58equipment, to destroy these pumping
00:13:02stations, and they, by the way, are buried underground,
00:13:06and it's not so, not so easy
00:13:09to hit them, and it's quite
00:13:12simple and quite quick to repair them, to put them in order,
00:13:16so yes, let's still deal with
00:13:20our urgent matters and,
00:13:23and not...
00:13:25What worries us, of course, but we need to
00:13:28be critical of any information. Mr. Oleksandr, thank you very much for
00:13:32this conversation and for this information. Oleksandr Serhiyenko
00:13:36was with us, director of the Analytical Research Center
00:13:39Institute of the City, who debunked a little bit of scare stories and
00:13:43myths about
00:13:46what
00:13:48will swallow the capital's sewage and feces
00:13:52after the strikes on the Bortnytska aeration station. Why this will not
00:13:56happen, well gentlemen, we are moving on, or
00:13:59we are, by the way, following the court process,
00:14:03right now the court is hearing the case and choosing
00:14:07a preventive measure for our recent
00:14:10ambassador, ambassador
00:14:14to the United States, Ambassador
00:14:18Stefanishyna Olga, you know that there
00:14:21are certain accusations that NABU and SAP have brought against her.
00:14:25And whether there will be any results today, we don't know, but our
00:14:28correspondent is there, we will include his report
00:14:32soon, later, well, now let's talk a little
00:14:35about the situation with this air
00:14:39war and the exchange of strikes on infrastructure, whether this is
00:14:43a new phase of the war, where will it lead us, can
00:14:46we see, approximately look into
00:14:49the future, for this we will talk with the director
00:14:53of military programs of the Razumkov Centre. Mykola Sungurovsky. Mr.
00:14:57Mykola, I greet you.
00:14:59We are just setting up the camera with him now, and in the
00:15:03meantime, I will remind you that today we are also asking you if you are
00:15:07ready. If it's better that this never happens, but
00:15:11suddenly to provide pre-medical aid
00:15:14to victims of shelling, if you suddenly witness such
00:15:18an event, and the answer option: yes, I have already completed pre-medical
00:15:21aid courses, or perhaps I always carry
00:15:25a first aid kit and a tourniquet for such an emergency, or are you
00:15:29still such an option as "I will save myself," or
00:15:32"I will leave this matter to professionals,"
00:15:35please vote. Please participate in our polls, do
00:15:39not forget, please, to go to YouTube for this, to our
00:15:43broadcasts and there be sure to put
00:15:46a like and be sure to subscribe to us on
00:15:48social networks, if you have not done so
00:15:51yet. Well, now we are waiting for our
00:15:55military expert, with whom we will talk about: let's try
00:15:59to look into the future, I read, by the way, Mr. Mykola Songurovsky back in
00:16:022014.
00:16:08I apologize year
00:16:10gave a forecast, which in principle turned out to be fair
00:16:14about the fact that we are facing a very difficult
00:16:17year, two, even, and that's how it
00:16:20happened, but we endured them, so
00:16:23the director of military programs of the Razumkov Center, Mykola Sungurovsky,
00:16:27who is already on our air, predicted, I greet
00:16:29you,
00:16:35Mr. Mykola, do you hear us?
00:16:38yes, I hear, I would like to say, good
00:16:41day, good day, if let's try to try a little
00:16:45to look into, at least the near future, in your
00:16:48opinion, are we now observing a certain turning point in this
00:16:52war, is its character changing, these strikes on
00:16:55infrastructure, is this a new phase of the war of attrition, in your
00:16:59opinion, how long can it last and where
00:17:01will it lead us in the near
00:17:04future,
00:17:06well, I... would not call this some new
00:17:10phase of the war, this is a continuation of the war of
00:17:13attrition, it's just that
00:17:16the tactics, the strategy of this war are changing, but
00:17:20its essence remains the
00:17:22same, what awaits us, well, what awaits
00:17:26us, let's say , not not very
00:17:29acceptable options for us,
00:17:33since, well,
00:17:36let's say, our strikes on the military-industrial
00:17:40complex of Russia have
00:17:43their negative consequences
00:17:46for them, but they are
00:17:49not enough, let's say , seriously affecting
00:17:52the overall capabilities of Russia,
00:17:56because the production
00:17:59of both missiles and especially ballistic
00:18:02missiles, there is decreasing, but
00:18:05well, it remains at a very, very high level for us,
00:18:09not very, but sufficiently high for us,
00:18:13besides, feeling the lack
00:18:16of its capabilities in
00:18:19the production of this type
00:18:22of weapon, Russia resorted to, well, let's say
00:18:25, semi-standard
00:18:29means for it, that is,
00:18:32the supply of ballistic missiles from North
00:18:36Korea. And also the transition to
00:18:39production, but the restructuring
00:18:43of S-300, S-400 anti-aircraft missiles
00:18:46into ballistic missiles, or
00:18:49semi-ballistic missiles, but which, well, for
00:18:53us, let's say, also have very
00:18:56unpleasant consequences for us,
00:18:59since they have a large warhead,
00:19:02they have a large number
00:19:05of fragments in this part,
00:19:09a very high flight
00:19:11speed,
00:19:14therefore, let's say, a very, well, reduced,
00:19:17reduced reaction time of our anti-missile, anti-aircraft
00:19:20defense system, and
00:19:24therefore, let's say, the probability of
00:19:27hitting them with our, our missiles,
00:19:30well, is low, let's say, and therefore
00:19:33here we need already...
00:19:37such a comprehensive solution, such as
00:19:40continuing to strike at the enterprises of the Russian
00:19:44military-industrial complex, which not
00:19:48only produce missiles, but
00:19:51produce, let's say, fuel, produce explosives,
00:19:54produce components,
00:19:57various ones, needed for these missiles,
00:20:01sanctions policy against, let's say,
00:20:04preventing the supply of these
00:20:07electronic components to Russian weapons
00:20:11in general, besides
00:20:13it is necessary, let's say
00:20:16so, a sanctions
00:20:20policy, to strengthen the sanctions policy
00:20:23against Russia's partners, such
00:20:26as Iran and North Korea, well, regarding
00:20:29China, I am silent, I am silent, because many
00:20:33are afraid to deal with China,
00:20:36but here... regarding direct and
00:20:39indirect supplies through third countries, this
00:20:43sanctions policy must be strengthened and seriously
00:20:47strengthened. In addition, we need.
00:20:51let's say, to resort
00:20:53to
00:20:56strengthening our own capabilities,
00:20:59capabilities for electronic warfare,
00:21:02capabilities for early warning about
00:21:04strikes, for, let's say,
00:21:08strengthening the means
00:21:12of radar observation of
00:21:15targets, regarding
00:21:18increasing the range
00:21:20of detection of these targets and tracking these
00:21:23targets, besides, well, let's say so,
00:21:27the measures themselves to strengthen the protection of the targets
00:21:31of these strikes, especially
00:21:34critical infrastructure, the construction of protective
00:21:38structures for the protection of the civilian
00:21:40population,
00:21:44improving the quality of means of informing
00:21:47the population about... air threats and so
00:21:51on, that is, it must be a systemic,
00:21:55comprehensive approach
00:21:57to ensuring, I would not say sustainability, because now
00:22:01sustainability, the term itself, it is very
00:22:05overestimated, I would say, increasing
00:22:07survivability, because this includes not only,
00:22:11let's say, protection, but
00:22:13also, let's say, spatial dispersal
00:22:17of these possible targets of strikes. Their
00:22:20protection, the construction of a decentralized system
00:22:24of management of these objects and so on and so forth, many
00:22:27things, uh, which ensures
00:22:31the survivability of our system in general,
00:22:34the system of eco- economy, the system of energy,
00:22:37the system of,
00:22:40ensuring vital functions.
00:22:43We have Trump's answer, he said that they
00:22:46have a deficit of missiles now for Pac-3 for interception.
00:22:50Ballistics, this means that we do not have many
00:22:53options, and not many opportunities,
00:22:57how to deal with ballistics, meaning
00:23:00shooting down, and we also had information from Zelensky that
00:23:04allegedly on average 102 to 120 ballistic missiles
00:23:07Russians can produce per month, this is what I said in June,
00:23:11that is, it is approximately 15 thousand per
00:23:14year, if those missiles will be difficult
00:23:18or impossible to shoot down, to what extent...
00:23:21this can become a decisive factor, for example, in
00:23:24the coming months, or can Russians, I don't know, turn
00:23:27the situation around, using this right now, well
00:23:30, this, this, this again depends not only
00:23:33on Russia's capabilities, but on
00:23:37our capabilities, as I have already said, because any scenario
00:23:40consists of two components, this is
00:23:44the action of the threat itself, and our
00:23:48counteraction, the counteraction of the system.
00:23:50protection from threats, that is, it is necessary
00:23:53to increase, strengthen the
00:23:56capabilities of the threat protection
00:23:59system, this includes sanctions policy,
00:24:03this includes, let's say
00:24:05so,
00:24:08accelerating the development of our, including
00:24:12ballistic and anti-
00:24:14anti-missile means, which are being carried out, such
00:24:18work is being carried out, but it is being carried out... Well,
00:24:21of course, since they are mostly
00:24:24located outside Ukraine,
00:24:27they are not carried out, let's say
00:24:31so, not fast enough, not at a sufficient
00:24:35pace, and it is very difficult
00:24:38to scale them up, but
00:24:41the production and
00:24:44use, improvement of electronic
00:24:47warfare means, means...
00:24:50radar detection
00:24:53of targets, protective means - this is already
00:24:56our problem, our problem, but our
00:25:00problem, it depends again on the help of our
00:25:03partners, since we have very serious resource
00:25:07limitations,
00:25:09and therefore any, any cooperation with partners in this
00:25:13direction, well, should be welcomed, mhm,
00:25:16I will ask again about our ballistic missiles.
00:25:20announced, and we have already recalled that
00:25:24back in 2014 there were some
00:25:27statements, and the then prime minister or then he was the minister of defense, again
00:25:31I'm already getting confused in these stories,
00:25:34Shmyhal said that we will have 300 missiles in
00:25:382025 of our own production, and it seems we did not
00:25:41make them, perhaps we don't know something, maybe they are
00:25:45somewhere, maybe we don't know something, but well,
00:25:48certainly not three thousand, because such statements
00:25:52are made in order to allocate money, and
00:25:55how these funds are spent, that's another matter, well, by the way, about
00:25:59money, I think, here President Zelensky spoke about 35. Okay,
00:26:02how to scale this production,
00:26:11I don't know, what, well, Ukraine was a space
00:26:14power, ballistic missile technologies, this is, in
00:26:18principle, the technologies of a space power, if I am not
00:26:20mistaken, if in general, the general logic
00:26:23is such, why do we have such problems with
00:26:27making ballistic missiles and scaling
00:26:30this up?
00:26:32Well, to say that we were, let's say, a space
00:26:36power, to directly connect that with ballistic missiles, that's not quite, not
00:26:40entirely correct, because ballistic missiles are not space
00:26:44apparatus, and, let's say, their
00:26:48application and production, they have
00:26:51very serious technological differences,
00:26:55in principle, Russia Ukraine, it
00:26:58specialized in the production, let's say,
00:27:01of engines for... space apparatus and control systems
00:27:05for space apparatus, everything
00:27:08else was concentrated in other
00:27:10republics of the former Soviet
00:27:13Union, where exactly I do not know, mhm,
00:27:17because to say that only we were responsible for
00:27:20the space capabilities of the USSR,
00:27:23one cannot say, but well, the country was
00:27:26a component in this complex, and based
00:27:29on, let's say, one...
00:27:32one of the components of this system cannot
00:27:36build the entire system,
00:27:39I understand, but engines are a key thing. If they
00:27:42were produced, why aren't they being produced
00:27:44now?
00:27:47Well, any component of this missile is key,
00:27:50mm-hmm, without a control system, there's no ballistic missile, without an
00:27:53engine, there's no ballistic missile, without
00:27:57some hydraulic
00:27:59control system, there's no ballistic missile. That is,
00:28:02everything, any component, is
00:28:05critical, in your opinion, without it, there
00:28:09will be no, without it, there will be no systemic program, or are we able to
00:28:12produce our own ballistics in large, large quantities in your
00:28:16opinion,
00:28:18well, not at the moment, not at the moment, that is, it's a very
00:28:22complex process, it, well, requires the
00:28:26construction of specific technological
00:28:29lines, well, again... not on
00:28:33the territory of Ukraine, because
00:28:35they immediately become, let's say, extremely
00:28:39important targets, firstly, and
00:28:42secondly, well, let's say, again, resource constraints,
00:28:46that is, it requires the involvement, let's say, ensuring the
00:28:49protection of this production and the involvement of resources from our
00:28:53partners, from this will depend the process
00:28:56of production and scaling.
00:28:59Can the West be our rear in this? Not
00:29:03really, maybe, maybe,
00:29:05the West, the West, well, in theory, the West should be
00:29:08interested in this, because their
00:29:12production is also limited,
00:29:15they also need to, let's say,
00:29:19improve and scale this
00:29:22production, but to do it with the experience
00:29:25of Ukraine. Thank you for the conversation, this study of this
00:29:28experience, again, thank you for the conversation.
00:29:32Indeed, Mykola Songurovsky, Director of Military Programs at the Razumkov Center, was with us, unfortunately, we don't have more
00:29:36time, I remind you that today we
00:29:39asked you, we ask you, if you are ready to provide
00:29:43pre-medical care in case such a need arises,
00:29:46there are four answer options, including
00:29:50yes, because I have already taken courses, I always carry
00:29:53a first aid kit or a tourniquet with me, or no, I will leave it to
00:29:56professionals, or no, I will save myself, choose your
00:30:00option, vote, and we will see you in the final minutes.
00:30:17I know you liked the lot with phones, because we offered
00:30:21you a button phone, simple,
00:30:24convenient and comfortable to use, unlike
00:30:27modern smartphones, which not everyone knows how to
00:30:31use yet, that's first of all, secondly, a regular
00:30:34smartphone very often runs out of battery,
00:30:37and at the most inconvenient moment, there are situations when I even
00:30:41look at myself, and I need something, I absolutely need to call
00:30:44somewhere, or I need to do something, the smartphone
00:30:48ran out of battery, and it's actually difficult to find an answer to this
00:30:51question and understand how to act in such a situation, it's extremely
00:30:55difficult, today we offer you a button
00:30:58phone, but very...
