i went to my first grade in poland. many ukrainians who left will never return. what should the government do to convince these people to return? greetings, this is svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur, the most important topics of the day, and since it's friday, the most important topics of the week let's discuss with us. the armed forces showed how the avdiiv coke-chemical plant, for which battles are raging, now looks. due to continuous shelling , not a single surviving building was left there, the avdiiv coking plant, owned by rinat akhmetov's metinvest group, began to be preserved in may of that year. at the beginning of november , it became known that the last employees were evacuated from the enterprise, and this is what

one of the largest once coke-chemical waters in europe looks like now, the enterprise, like avdiivka itself, is being destroyed daily by russian artillery and aviation, and what the battles for avdiivka look like, ukrainian film director and military man oleg sentsov showed. he released a video of the trench battles that took place near the city. the footage was likely captured using goppro cameras attached to the soldiers' clothing or helmets. in the video, you can clearly hear the conversations of the military, they report on the pressure of russian forces from the directions and also very well hear the shelling, which does not stop even for a second, i have to warn you that the footage that we will show you next is footage of a real battle and they can shock you , give me a machine gun, where we can't be pushed from one side and pushed from the other side, we don't,

he says, give me a machine gun. no, no , it won't be like that, somewhere, in short, she will hold the defense, so we don't have, there is no chance, this is defense, ground, ground, bk control, bk control. now the two boxes will move forward, they will move forward, and we will try to roll straight to whatever it takes, the heavy equipment is coming here, only by the sound, the heavy equipment is coming towards us technique, technique almost, somewhere along the line, i hear, they will break it on us, as a reception. the boys, they have ateshka over there, the boys, come here

, the boys, ateshka, ateshka, ateshka, lie down, lie down, dance, lie down. we are in the vicinity, we are being attacked by tanks, by attacks, serhii tsehotskyi, an officer of the 59th motorized infantry brigade named after gadyuk, joined our broadcast, good evening, good evening, glory to the heroes, here we have just shown footage of a real battle that took place under avdiivka, you are also in the avdiiv direction, tell me what

the situation is like at the moment, well approximately as you saw, they are pressing on everyone, in all directions, they are pressing, they are trying to capture, now they are more... with such a larger , wider wedge from the left to the right, they are storming, and plus they began to storm the avdiivka itself head-on, that is, before, well, like that it was not much, there are good fortifications there, but they are still going here, as it were, it looks like such a mental attack, ugh, i saw the statement of the head of the military administration of avdiyivka, that the third wave of assaults has begun and that it is very different from everyone the previous ones, well, apparently, it, let’s say, it didn’t end, it started like a plan, just the intensity is a little more, less

, but eh, we, as soldiers, are here in positions, in our cities, eh, we are constantly under the influence of their artillery, under the dust of their drones, and the infantry is more , then less, then... that is, it was every day, day and night, they shell the positions, well, where we see them, we destroy them there, and what's the matter is this the kind of intensity that i understand is only getting stronger now? probably one of those idiotic tasks and deadlines set for them by their command, and this command receives tasks from its political leadership, that is, to give it to a certain one there, to take this settlement, at the same time, i think that's what they say there , don’t they say, to destroy everything that is there, that’s the goal , well , it’s impossible to give a correct human assessment of this, it’s just necessary

to make a diagnosis somewhere in ward number seven or in ward number eight, well, you know, if we talk about some dates or political goals, then many, c mainly political commentators, they say that it is possible... russia wants to make avdiivka , well, such a victory before the presidential elections that will be held in russia, and putin actually wants to capture avdiivka, so that his army captures avdiivka, and this can be sold as victory, well, it means in russia, in russia, they have, when they open, excuse me, a public toilet, public, and of the wooden type. there in the regional center, they invite the governor, which means that the press, television, big ones come there the number of public figures there , which means that in such a festive atmosphere

they open a toilet, that means the city of avdiyivka, the approaches to it, the flanks, everything is controlled by the armed forces of ukraine, the commanders in the cities, the commander is in charge. and the troops are ready to carry out any order, that's all, all that can be said on this issue, but as, well, we see the maps, it looks like the russian... the troops want to take the avdiyivka into a ring, you say to advance intensify, we ourselves have seen what these battles look like, in such conditions, how long will the armed forces of ukraine be able to hold the city? - how much will it take, do you think, yes, i don't think so, i know, because well, each of our, each of our servicemen, who, let's say, in this direction, i'm sure of all

the others, here they are... here, well, this motivated people, these are motivated citizens of their country, they are the most active and themselves, well, i'm sorry for such a word, but the best, perhaps, let's say, the sons of their country, who today choose this freedom, independence, but finally choose this, in our now is a unique chance to really gain independence, real, no legal, but factual, therefore ... no one is going to make any concessions and so on, but we, as military personnel, are subordinate to the command, if the command team deems certain actions necessary, we , as military personnel, must carry them out, because we can lose some kind of small battle, but to win the war, for example, and the main focus of the command has always been and remains, besides the territory and everything else, it is the life of the personnel, life and

health, that is, did i understand correctly that you admit that there may be such a military decision , leave, and you are also ready for it, you understand, we, if the commander-in-chief says, especially the commander says, will give the order to withdraw there or, on the contrary, to go in some other direction there, and so on, we have to do it, because you understand, he has a map, he has all the forces and means in his hands, he sees better than any military man on the battlefield what needs to be done, but, i will say this, nowhere in thoughts, in conjectures, in some conversations , in the subtexts, it was never heard anywhere that we would surrender avdiivka, well, here, this is not about surrender, of course, we are talking here about probably some important political and military, or military-political, or just military decisions, the same as they were adopted in relation to other cities that were also occupied,

but i understand that these decisions were made to approve, and please tell me the last question, judging by the current situation and the information you have, if the ukrainian forces have to leave now, what advantage in this case, in the event of the full occupation of avdiyivka, can get russian army, that is, what role does avdiyivka play now, while it is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine? well, what an advantage, the advantage is that this is avdiyivka itself, as a federal district, there is the same kosohim, it’s like that, well, they are fortified there, for example, there, these basements of the koksakhim are buried and so on, and it will be a little further from donetsk for us, so but, but it's nothing strategic, it won't solve anything , that is, we have plans to liberate all the land, and we have to take our ukrainian land to the...

borders to leave with russia, so we're going there let's go, that's it, for us today it is not possible to go to the same city of donetsk, because it is still a big city, there, we will have street fights there and suffer some losses there, it is not clear where and how, that's all , everything is correct, as far as i am concerned, as a military man, what i see , what is being done, everything is being done very correctly, this is what i say for the actions of our brigade first of all... what we are doing is visible, we know every move of the enemy, and the same, i know what our neighbors are doing, because we are in close contact, everyone is working to destroy the enemy, and such a large number, in such a short time, to destroy only in this direction of vdyiv, well, it must be really some kind of abnormal to rush like that with their people, whatever they are there, and two more words, the last question, i want to ask you what the avdiiv

coke chemical plant is now. here, the armed forces released a few pictures of what this enterprise itself looks like now, as far as i understand, there are almost no buildings left, whatever was there, whether it was damaged or destroyed, but what role does this enterprise play now for defense and how long can the battles last there, well, this is a fortress, ugh, this is a fortress, yes, there are buildings there. everything is destroyed, but there is a slab there, a wall there, and so on, there is an enemy there, death can only wait there, nothing else, because it is where you can, so i would not... i would not recommend anyone who wants to live there climb at all, that’s a fact, it’s, well, you understand, when, if it was, let’s say, what kind of attack there is already, yes, it can be thrown constantly, and uh, there with bombs, there with jets

projectiles, cassettes, whatever you want, sunblock, the same, oh, here we still have communication, logistics, reinforcements, there is delivery, what is needed, the same bc, so...' they have very few chances, i tell you very much, thank you very much, but they are there, and it’s not very easy there , it’s really, really hard there, it’s generally the weather and everything else, you understand, yes, that is, there is no such thing, you fought there and immediately went out for two hours somewhere in a warm cafe, drank hot tea, this is a war, and you must always be ready, that the enemy can carry out 10-20 of the same assaults there in a day, i thank you very much for taking the time to tell me what is happening in the avdiiv region, take care, serhii tsehotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after handziuk, was on radio liberty. if you watch us on youtube, subscribe to the radio liberty channel and

please like this broadcast, in this way, you will support our work. well, we continue to talk about what is happening in the avdiiv direction. and not only on it, oleksiy hetman, military analyst, veteran joins our broadcast russian-ukrainian war. good evening. good evening let's start with avdiivka right away. here was the statement of the head of the avdiivka city military administration, vitaliy barabash, and he said that now a third wave of assaults has begun on avdiivka and that now the russian army is attacking from four directions at once, in particular from donetsk through the village of spartak. we have just heard military words. military serviceman who is directly there, how do you see the situation in the avdiiv region, how can it change? well, for now, we can keep it there defense, this is especially true of what the previous speaker said, the coke plant, powerful walls were built there even in the old

days, they are 15 meters thick, there are many underground communications, that is, you can quickly change the position, that is, it is already a big deal the fortification that we can use, what he says, what the people who are there say, what mr. parabash says, that the amount of manpower and equipment that the thief uses, well, it goes off the scale, air raids are used there, they are used heavy bombs, fab-500 ie they are trying to destroy both the factory and the city, and in this way, well, this is their fighting tactic, first to completely destroy something there... with fire, now they are not as good with artillery shells as they were there half a year ago, so they use aerial bombs, will they succeed in capturing this city, well, it depends on what forces and means they will still be able to use there, if they use more, well, there are several divisions,

for example, well, conditionally speaking, then of course it will be necessary to give an order to from our departure to the garrison that is holding the defense there, because there will be a big difference in manpower and equipment, there are certain possibilities of people, when there are three to five times more enemies, there are 10 times, well, it is still possible to conduct battles somehow actions, and when there are 20, 30, 100 times, then obviously not, it will only harm our armed forces, because these will be unnecessary losses, well, by the way, expert mykhailo zherokhov, a military expert, who is also there is a frequent guest of our broadcasts, he stated that there should be a military, not a political, decision regarding avdiyivka. and what is needed radical steps, i understand that this is exactly what you meant, that if it is necessary to retreat to save lives, then this decision will have to be made, well, this cannot be considered a radical step, it is a normal step for

during such battles, when the enemy is essentially prevails, then it makes sense to keep the defense with a smaller number, well, it’s just that people will be doomed to not be able to hold out there, well, it’s obvious, we need to withdraw to positions, or bring our additional forces here, but withdraw to more convenient positions, a little west of avdiivka, there already and there already to keep the defense in the fortifications that have already been built, which are there, and there are, by the way, if you leave, there are built fortifications, well, you know, they should, should be, because everyone perfectly understands what a situation is happening there and fortifications are being built, well, looking, well, looking, what are the different fortifications there are chaff. structures , fields of fritification, i.e., ordinary trenches, this is done in one day, if something is more powerful, then there are dugouts that have already been in position for a long time, then reinforced concrete, then they are built for a longer time, well, i don’t think there is any point, it is to build

reinforced concrete buildings, they use, of course, the material that is nearby, there are trees, these are stones, well, that is , there are engineering troops there, they know very well how it is done, and it is better that it is done by the engineering troops, because the infantry must, of course, dig in, but they must also build fortifications, well, it is possible, but then there will not be enough forces at all, a political decision. two words, a political decision, you said that, that it should not be a political decision, well it is political component for the russian army, we understand why, we can talk about it a little here, but for us it is a military, exclusively military sense, because we are destroying a very large number of the enemy, and the task of any army in war is to destroy the enemy's army, we are doing very well there, so there is a military sense in this, as there was a military sense in the city of bakhmu, we held on as long as we could, but we destroyed 50,000 russian... servicemen with much smaller losses, something similar is happening now in avdiivka , so say

that let's just leave, well, who will kill the enemies then, well, by the way, there was a statement by the same vitaly barabash, the head of the avdiivka administration, he said that now the city is more destroyed by what, avdiivka is meant, than bahmud was destroyed in his time, maybe, well, they are bahmud - it was, well, after all, a pr move for prigozhin , but it did not have such a high political, important political meaning for putin, and avdiivka is important for putin, well, on march 17, there will be elections in russia in the russian russia's presidential elections, in 90 days, if i'm not mistaken, there should be all the candidates who want to run, well, it's clear who will be elected, they should announce that they are going to these elections, it's december 17, so the best thing for putin was . to do it, well, he will do it on the last day, we understand that, to do it against the background of some victories on the front line, so that in two or three days there will be

information that there are very successful actions, that it is according to the plan, then that's it putin also agrees to run for president, who will be 17, well in the spring of next year, on march 17 , you know, many, many people say that there will not be elections there, elections as they imagine them. well, there was already a lot of talk about it, that it is necessary to have at least 10% of the voters come to the polling station, so that it can be shown that this is some kind of mass movement of people, and then there will be, as it were, some kind of electronic voting, that in general, it is not clear what and through which server, how it will be accounted for, well, this is just a horror, but they will paint a very good picture. so that it was against the background of some victories and therefore two a few more words about avdiyka, i think that if it is not possible to capture avdiyka by december 17, then

already on the 18th-20th such active battles there will stop, because the basis, that is, the meaning for which it was done, well, it will no longer exist, that is, yes , that is, you give such a period of time, based on logic, yes, based on logic, why, why is this, well, nothing, well, the institute for the study of guilt, american, british intelligence, previous people who were on your air say, well, what’s the point , well, it does not have such a strategic importance for this audio girl to fight for her like this and put such a one a large number of people, but they do it, there is political subversion and that's it, and it will disappear when putin announces that he is running for president, so the fighting will not stop from now on, they, they will simply become what they were before before these meaty three waves, let me ask not only about avdiyivka, for example, the other day another well-known ukrainian military observer, kostyantyn mashovets, he estimated that the russian troops in the kupyansk direction are completing the regrouping of forces and

may soon increase the pace of offensive actions in this area, what can be the nature of this offensive, what can you explain about it, they are trying a little different tactics there, these are not strong assaults, but tank strikes, they are trying to actively use heavy equipment there, there are a large number of them, in general , a large group there, up to 130,000 russian servicemen two units of heavy equipment, including up to 1,000 tanks, about 850 barrel artillery, up to 500 guns by fire, including thermobaric ones, borotina guns and borotina cartridges, and there is a sunspot, that is , a very dangerous weapon, they want to go to kupinsk nodal and continue to try to move to the askil river, to then try to force it, go to the well and continue offensive actions there, they carry out a rotation, indeed, they change... to fresher ones, the 25th reserve army will be attached there

, which they have been trying to form for six months, well, they have not yet formed it in full, because the army, well, according to the rules, it is from 40,000 people, well, looking at what kind of army, looking at what the staffing is there, but what it should be at least 40,000, then that's it organized in a certain way, then it can be called an army, so far there is a little more than half of this number, so it is such an army that is not fully equipped, but still it is a force that will also be involved there and there may be very serious attempts by the russians advance somewhere, there already are such meaty assaults most likely there will not be, there is no political subtext, there is essentially a military subtext, and they will do it so as not to achieve the goal, that is, to advance somewhere, and not in order to to that, to to give such and such a date to take some action and report on it, will it be possible to simply go further than the oskil river, even if we have to withdraw, well, those people who are conducting hostilities there say that

there is simply no chance of forcing the russians there, because from another western bank, this is the west bank - this is the right bank for this river, there are powerful fortifications, there is a mountain range, the russians have no chance to advance at all, but it is a worse scenario if they have to withdraw, well, it is for several kilometers, so far the russians have do not we succeeded, and those attacks, we even repulsed the attack tanks, there are a lot of them, well, not very many, but a lot, let’s say so, a lot, it’s kind of a little, let’s say, in another way, enough, anti-tank weapons , javelins, corsairs have been transferred . they will be very, very many, they will lose

this equipment there, because we are ready to meet, and the last question, ex-deputy minister of defense hanna malar gave her first major interview after her dismissal to the journalists of the liganet publication, and here she told a lot of interesting things, in particular, she said that the russian army has been exhausting ukraine for more than a year in order to make a new breakthrough at the front, and she just said that russia is not concentrating its forces to break through the ukrainian defense in any specific direction, but rather stretching the troops, as well as the defense forces. what does this mean, please explain from the example after ghana muller left office, after the appointment of a new new minister, she can give evaluations and it will not happen, she was accused there that it would not be possible to hold the position of deputy or adviser there, i don't remember exactly if the position was deputy, she was deputy, they never gave such frank interviews "yeah, she didn't have the right to give that, because

, well, excuse me, well, there are, there are certain rules that can..." in general, servicemen are limited in their ability to give interviews, this is not a ban, this is not an attack on freedom of speech , but there are certain rules, well, what can and cannot be done, directly, no, well, you can military serviceman to interview about, for example, his affairs at home, as a wife, as children, everything, please, and as for combat operations, i’m sorry, no, well, that’s it, and now she can give such a more extensive interview, and the fact that the enemy of stretching, of course, stretches, well, look, we call it the eastern front from kuplinsk to ugledar, and it is 1000 km, and there are many of them there, but the russians actively use it, so we say, again, logistical ways, they use the railway, simply put, and they learned, they have a railway, in general, this is an inherent russian army, it has been for many years, centuries, for some reason it gives an advantage for the movement of troops, by railways,

and there are these rocket roads, that is, the railway allows them to quickly transfer troops along the front, they are somewhere , when there are some tensions, that is, they have added forces there, you must understand that this is not a style, they have pulled up some strategic reserves, but are moving along the front line, and they do it quite quickly, so of course they, we have such railways, such an opportunity really, well, there is none from the side where we hold the defense, we also move, we maneuver, here it cannot be said that we are doing it worse, but the russians are improving it and in this way they are really trying to tighten our defense, additional they are not adding forces, they still have approximately 455 thousand military personnel there, well, they are decreasing by the thousands every day, eh, and that’s it, and these movements along the front line, they exhaust our capabilities, first of all, and secondly they, they
