вчерашний обзор от американского минобороны, они вот увидели в Бердянске русские в кои-то веки попытались подвезти подкрепление, но пока не видели, что с этим подкреплением стало
ещё про вчера
Kyiv. Still hold to the northwest of the city that the Russians are about 15 to 20 kilometers away from the city center. So, no movement. What I would add is we are starting to see now that they're basically digging in, and they are establishing defensive positions. So, it's not that they're not advancing, they're actually not trying to advance right now. They're taking more defensive positions.
северо-запад от Киева - рашисты 15-20 км от центра города, никаких движений. Я б сказал, что они окапываются. Т.е. не то что они не продвигаются, они даже не собираются продвигаться пока.
to the east of Kyiv, they've actually, the Ukrainians have been able to push the Russians back to about 55 kilometers east and northeast of Kyiv. Remember, yesterday, we were telling you they were about 20 to 30 kilometers away. But -- near that town of Brovary. And we now assess that the Ukrainians have pushed them back further to the east and northeast of Kyiv.
на востоке от Киева, украинцы отпихнули рашистов дальше назад на восток и северовостокю Помните, вчера я говорил, что они были за 20-30 км. Теперь 55.
Chernihiv -- we still assess they are trying to surround it and circle it. The Ukrainians have fought very hard to try not only to keep the Russians out but to try to push them back. And we now hold the Russians are about 8 to 10 kilometers away from the city center. They're stalled, and in some places around Chernihiv, they are ceding ground. They are actually moving in the opposite direction, but not by much.
Чернигов - рашисты всё ещё пытаются окружить город, но хуй получается. Украинцы их не только не пускают, но и пытаются отпихнуть. Рашисты 8-10 км от центра города, они застряли, и в некоторых районах отступают.
Kharkiv. And again, we maintain that the Russians are outside of the city now, roughly 15 to 25 kilometers of the -- they're outside -- they're outside the ring road, actually, 15 to 20 kilometers away from the city center. And again, very, very stiff resistance there, the Ukrainians are really holding on to Kharkiv.
Харьков: рашисты 15-20 км от центра, они вообще за кольцевой, снаружи. Там очень серьёзное сопротивление, украинцы вцепились в Харьков.
We still believe that the Russians are trying to basically cut it off, and therefore pin down Ukrainian forces that are in the Luhansk-Donetsk area. They are still trying to move south of that city, Izium. And they're still, we think, again, plan on moving north out of Mariupol'.
мы думаем, рашисты на востоке пытаются заблокировать и отрезать украинцев, они пытаются двигаться от Изюма на юг, от Мариуполя на север и окружить.
But there's been no major changes. The only thing I would say, and I know I'm hemming and hawing here, but we're taking a bunch of notes. But what I would say is that this is the area which has become much more active for Russian forces in the Donbas area the -- that eastern part of Ukraine. We believe that they are now going to start to apply -- actually, they have applied a lot more energy in the Luhansk-Donetsk area, particularly around Luhansk. You're seeing them really put more energy and effort into that part of Ukraine.
пока особых изменений нет, но мы считаем, рашисты в других областях притихли, а на востоке активизировались и вот такой у них план. Они явно разбушевались на Донбассе в последнее время, особенно около Луганска.
Mariupol' -- again, very very contested still -- Russians are still bombarding it heavily with artillery and long-range fire we continue to observe Russian forces inside the city, but they're -- but it's not -- it's certainly not a majority of them, and the Ukrainians are also inside Mariupol' and of course fighting very hard for it.
сам Мариуполь рашисты всё ещё сильно бомбят, видим немного русских внутри города, но не большинство. Украинцы в Мариуполе очень серьёзно сражаются.
Mykolayiv, again, nothing major to report there. As we said yesterday, I can't remember when I said it. The Russians are kind of repositioning around Mykolayiv. They have not been able to take Mykolayiv. They've been frustrated by the Ukrainian defenses there. And we're seeing them. When they started out, they started, you know, they went through Kherson, they went up to the north and northeast, we're now seeing them sort of position more towards the southeast and the east. So, they're about 15 kilometers to the southeast and about 30 kilometers to the east of Mykolayiv. So, they have not only not made progress, they've had to reposition around Mykolayiv because the Ukrainian resistance has been so stiff. But again, both sides are still fighting very hard.
Николаев: рашисты перегруппировались вокруг него, взять у них не получилось, они обалдели от украинской защиты. Никакого прогресса у них нет, бои продолжаются.
Again, the Russians have not achieved air superiority. And we still see fairly risk-averse air activity by Russian pilots if they do go; you know if they do go in, venture in, and they don't stay in contested airspace very long. So, it's still contested.
преимущества в воздухе у рашистов нет, и они это знают. Делают короткие вылазки и в кусты.
On our security assistance, what I can say is that the $350 million security package that the president signed out to should be closing out, or at least getting into the last… the remaining material should be arriving within the next day or so for further transshipment into Ukraine, and that'll close that out. And the first flight of material from the next big tranche, the $800 million package that the president announced, that also should be starting to arrive here, the first flight should be planned to arrive within the next day or so. I don't want to get too specific here because that -- that's -- that's all in-work, and it'll be a series of multiple flights over many days. But that should start to arrive, that material should start to arrive very, very soon.
насчёт нашей помощи - мы вот только заканчиваем первый этап поставок, на 350 мильёнов. А потом сразу начнём тот, что на 800. Он начнёт прибывать прям на днях.
The president has discussed the threat of chemical weapons a couple of times. I was just wondering, given NATO's announcement today about getting chemical gear, I wanted to go back to the MoP issue; will the U.S. help provide some of that gear and get some of those chem-bio protections to Ukrainians?
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: Yeah, I mean, I don't have -- first of all, we haven't seen any imminent signs that there's going to be a chem-bio event caused by the Russians.
- президент что-то говорил про химическое оружие. Будут американцы помогать с защитой от него?
- пока про это у меня нет данных, потому что мы не видим, чтобы русские реально готовили химическое оружие
Q: OK, and then just as -- just as a quick follow-up, has it become more difficult to get those supplies into Ukrainian hands just because of how some of the airstrikes have moved further west? Or are you still seeing that the supply line has not been affected?
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: We are still able to get material into Ukraine using a variety of ground routes. And we have not seen those routes put at threat yet.
- а как поставлять все эти богатства в Украину, когда русские уже и западные районы начали бомбить?
- у нас получается всё доставить куданадо, у нас полно тропинок, вполне безопасных
Q: Sorry. And then one -- another thing. There was an interview in the New York Times with a Ukrainian pilot, and they described, you know, dogfights and also described how the Ukrainian Air Force is obviously losing planes as well, not surprisingly. And that the tempo, the operational tempo is intense, and they're going to need replacements. Given the state of the kind of air war there, is it still possible that the U.S. might consider some way of helping Poland or another country provide fighter jets to Ukraine? Or are you still ruling that out completely?
SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: Again, Dan, we never ruled it out. We -- these are sovereign decisions that other nations have to make for themselves. And as we said, all along, we respect that. So, if another nation has fixed-wing aircraft that they want to provide to Ukraine, that is their decision to make, and the United States is not going to stand in the way.
What we're focused on are the kinds of things that we know they're using very effectively, the javelin, the stingers, small arms and ammunition.
- в НЙ таймс было интервью украинского пилота, он говорил, что у них всё-таки к сожалению тоже есть потери в самолётах. Может мы как-нить поможем Польше помочь Украине самолётами? или вы прям ваще исключаете?
- мы никогда не исключали. Хочет Польша помочь - пусть помогает, кто ей мешает. Если кто-то другой хочет - мы не против.
Но мы вот сами пока сфокусируемся на оружии, которым они прям очень эффективно сражаются, джевелины, стингеры.
We're also focused on working with other allies and partners to help get them more long-range air defense systems that they're trained on, that they know how to use. And quite frankly, they're using it very effectively. That is one reason why the big reason why the airspace is contested and the Russians have not achieved their superiority. It's one reason why we're seeing fairly risk-averse behavior out of some Russian pilots because they don't want to loiter around in airspace that they think, though they know are covered by Ukrainian SAMs. So, it's never -- you know, we didn't put a veto on people providing fixed-wing aircraft to the Ukrainians.
и другие страны пусть им тоже побольше ракет пришлют. Как они здорово русские самолёты сшибают, любо дорого смотреть!
