are now watching < p > about these and other events in Ukraine and the world and possible threats and challenges that they pose, the facts of ICTV asked the political scientist < strong > Vladimir Fesenko and aviation expert < strong > valeria Romanenko. 60 ~/P > < ul > < Li > negotiations in Paris < li > Russian offensive

< h2 > negotiations in Paris
< p > in Paris there were peace negotiations between the European, American and Ukrainian sides. Their main topic was the discussion of the plan for the end of the war in Ukraine. And soon US statements appeared in the public space about the possible exit from the negotiation process.
< p > first the US Secretary of State Marko Rubio ~ 60 > 60 > in Paris on April 17 during a meeting with French, British, German and Ukrainian officials said about this. On April 18, the US President Donald Trump.
< p >Commenting on statements on the part of the American side, political scientist Vladimir Fesenko draws attention to an important fact of this event – the meeting took place in Paris, since it was about issues of the negotiation process that cannot be solved without Europe. In particular, about the presence of the European military contingent in Ukraine after the end of the war.< p > – I think that Russia categorically against this and puts forward its requirements in advance. So this issue could be discussed during the meeting of the parties, ”he remarked.
< p > Another important point that inhibits the peace negotiation process is an outrageous requirement of the Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin regarding the lifting of sanctions from the Russian Federation until the ceasefire in Ukraine. ~ 60 > < p >– Of course, this is an unacceptable option, including for us. But here the main problem is that it is impossible to stop or in stages to relieve sanctions against Russia without the participation of Europeans. A significant part of the sanctions is imposed on the Russian Federation from Europe. In particular, without Europe it is impossible to cancel restrictions on international banking transfers, a SWIFT system, — Fesenko notes.
< p > besides, the most important interest of Russians — These are the arrested assets of the Russian Federation, most of which in Europe and without it cannot be solved.
< blockquote >< p > — And therefore, I do not exclude that, perhaps, in these negotiations, a discussion of such a complex compromise began, a conditional, let's say, a new Steinmeier formula, only without Steinmeier. Perhaps this will be the Rubio formula, or somehow it will be called-the ceasefire and at the same time cancel the number of sanctions against the Russian Federation,-the expert adds. ~ 60 > 62 ~ < p > it will be possible or not — The question is open, it already depends on whether a certain compromise has reached all aspects of the negotiation process during the next weeks, says Fesenko.
< p > – but it seems that now the American side wants to get concessions from Europeans on the issue of sanctions and, possibly, from us, so that we go to certain concessions to the Russians. What are the concessions ? further the main question, whether this will be enough for Russia to cease fire and whether it will be acceptable to the Ukrainian side, — The political scientist notes.< p > Moreover, Putin openly demonstrates how he neglects the ceasefire even when he initiates it. So, in the framework of April 19 to midnight April 21, the Kremlin dictator of the silence regime under the guise “ Easter truck ”, the Russian Federation continued to fire. According to the President of Ukraine < b >Vladimir Zelensky, from the beginning of the day of the Russian Federation made 46 assaults and more than 900 shelling, the enemy also equips routes for heavy equipment, hiding behind “ Easter truck. ”~ 60 > 62 ~ < p > so why did Putin announce “ Easter truck ”, if it does not adhere to ? according to the military analyst < b >~ 60 > Sky News Sean Bell, there are three main ones causes.
< p > the first is Putin’s desire to demonstrate himself in Russia as a peacekeeper, thereby receiving the support of his people. The second reason “ Easter truck ” more cynical — Putin is trying to win more time to relocate 50 thousand Russian military personnel who are now in the Kursk region, to the Donbass.
< p >The last reason Bell indicates is associated with the concern of the Kremlin by the fact that Donald Trump and the United States may abandon the plans for the reintegration of Moscow in the peace process, especially given the latest statements by the White House about the possible exit from negotiations. < p > 62 ~ < p > Considering that the risk of the US exit from the peace process, if the compromise between all parties cannot be achieved, the third reason is quite probable.~ 60 > note that next week the next round of negotiations is planned in London, and, as the publication writes ~ 60 > nyp, the USA, during a meeting with representatives of the EU and Ukraine, they plan to agree on a complete ceasefire.
62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 > 62 ~ < h2 > Russian offensive
< p > in Russia there is a record appeal – according to the order of the Ministry of Defense, we are talking about 160 thousand people. This has not happened since 2011. In the material < b >The BBC of Ukraine notes that the Russian Federation is trying to call as many people as possible, so that later a larger number of these draftees conclude contracts — voluntarily or under pressure.
< p > as the publication notes, Strokovikov is trying to recruit a contract directly in the military enlistment offices.
< p > – already at the level of the military registration and enlistment office they are recruited to the contract and palm off papers, ”says the director of the human rights group, a citizen. Army. Right Sergey Krivenko.
< p > in all likelihood, the record call is associated with the predicted spring-summer offensive. – Putin has an illusion that Russia will continue the war. In the coming months, the Russian Federation begins a summer military campaign, a large -scale campaign, – said Vladimir Fesenko.
< p > he notes that not only the activation of battles at the front indicates this, but also air strikes in Ukraine. < IMG Title = "The largest assault on the Russian Federation near Pokrovsk, a change in shelling tactics and negotiations: the events of the week at the front photo 1" class = "alignnone size-freel wp-image-5470369" " SRC = "https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04/04-7.png" Alt = "The front for tizhenya" Width = "1080" Height = "1080" srcset = "https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7.png 1080w, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-300x300.png 300W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04-7-432x432.png 432W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-156x156.png 156W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-768x768.png 768W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-96x96.png 96W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-88x88.png 88W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-16x16.png 16W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/19/04-7-32x32.png 32W, https://cdn.fakty.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/04/19/04-7-48x48.png 48W "Sizes =" (Max-Width: 1080PX) 100VW, 1080PX " />< /p > < h2 > strengthening of shelling
< p > tragedy of sum, crooked horns — These are the first signs that Russia wants to break Ukraine, says Fesenko.
< blockquote >< p > — The Russian Federation wants to break us not only at the front, but also in the rear. The aggressor country wants to demoralize a significant part of the Ukrainians so that they agree to the world on any conditions — Even on one -sided and with great concessions of Russia. This is the purpose of strengthening the shelling of Ukraine, — Says Vladimir Fesenko.
< p > as the political scientist notes, Putin probably has the illusion now that he has a chance to win this war. — Some publications in Europe wrote that Putin now imagines April 2025, as April 1945. That is, he believes that a little more and he will win the war. And Putin needs to demonstrate that he will not win the war. This will take time and great efforts, — Adds expert.
< h2 > Russian improving drones and ballistics hit
< p > aviation expert Valery Romanenko, says there is an increase in the percentage of ballistics in Russian missile strikes. The raids are also fixed with purely ballistics.
< p > — If in 2023 the Russian Federation produced 6 Iskander per month, now, according to the GUR, this figure has grown to 60. That is, in less than two years, Russia has almost ten times increased the release of ballistics, — He says.
< p >In addition, the latest shelling trends indicate that the Russian Federation is improving drones and constantly experimenting. The enemy began to use other shells, launch drones along another trajectory.
< blockquote >< p > — The Kremlin is now improving the design of drones in many aspects. Firstly, they have already begun to use thermobaric combat units. They generally had 5 combat units before this drone, now the sixth, thermobaric with shrapnel, — Says Aviation Expert Valery Romanenko.
< p > second moment — They increase the stability of drones to the action of electronic warfare, radio electronic wrestling means.
< p > — That is, they increase the number of peripheral antennas in the satellite navigation system. So that our means of the electronic warfare do not affect these drones, — Says Romanenko.
< p >The expert also notes that the Russians changed the tactics of the use of drones — Now they launch 40 drones in one city, while earlier 200 were distributed in all areas of Ukraine.
< p > — Thus, they try to exceed the possibilities of our air defense, both anti-aircraft missile systems and mobile groups. For example, if 5 mines fly on a mobile group, then one or two will be played, the rest will fly past our defense. Even the anti-aircraft missile system is able to simultaneously fire on four drones, and the fifth will fly past it, — Adds Valery Romanenko.< p >The tactics of concentrated strikes by mines of the Russian Federation use in almost all areas. Therefore, blows, breakthroughs of drones will be inevitable, notes Valery Romanenko. Ukraine remains to strengthen the funds to combat mines. Romanenko adds that in this process our partners are able to help us, transferring the appropriate technique.
< p > — We get new, and old systems for the fight against drones also work. That is, we all the time increase the density of the air defense, but you ourselves understand that we do not have an infinite number of these funds, — Says an aviation expert.
< p > therefore an important point is to strike at enemy drones.
< p > — It is necessary to beat these enterprises daily so that they simply be afraid to work there. Because the blow to the enterprise, of course, suspend production, — emphasizes Valery Romanenko.
< p > front and frontline cities remain mainly under the blows of the protozoa Russian drones lightning and lightning 2, as well as new drones of cube, quadrocopter. There, trends in the last week did not change.
< h2 >The situation in the Pokrovsky direction and on Zaporozhye
< p > 17 April ~ 60 > Ukrainian military recruited one of the largest assault on Russian invaders on motorcycles in the Pokrovsky direction. The National Guard said that this event would go down in history.
< p > as analysts noted ~ 60 > ISW, the Armed Forces of Ukraine keep the defense of Pokrovsk thanks to counterattacks and drones.
