unconstitutional actions, the servants of the people insist that everything is within the limits, within the regulations. what is happening, about all this say svoboda live. the war in ukraine seems to be reaching a dead end, and russia's victory is still probable. this was the conclusion reached by the british publication the economist. the magazine writes that now neither side is able to expel the other from the controlled territories, and that is why vladimir putin is keeping it. chances of winning. the reason for this publication is the lack of strategic vision in the west, which is not doing enough to stop putin. and president volodymyr zelenskyi admitted that the long-awaited counteroffensive in the summer and autumn did not bring the expected breakthroughs, but he emphasized that ukraine is not backing down and that it needs help in increasing the domestic production of weapons. zelenskyi also ordered to strengthen defenses and fortifications along the entire perimeter.

both at the front and where russian troops can be expected to attack. regarding fortification in all main directions, where it is necessary to strengthen, speed up the construction of structures. of course, this is primarily avdiivskyi, maryanskyi and other areas in donetsk region, maximum attention. kharkiv region is kupyan region direction, as well as the kupyansk -liman defensive line, and the entire kharkiv region, sumy region, chernihiv region, kyiv region, and rivne region. volyn and also the south. according to the institute for the study of war, over the last day , russian troops continued their offensive in the avdiyivka region and advanced in several points near it. meanwhile, moscow claims that russian forces are on the offensive and allegedly have advantages in several directions along the front line. a group of russian troops inflicts effective and powerful fire damage on the armed forces. as a result, combat capabilities the armed forces are significantly reduced. our servicemen

act competently and decisively, occupy more advantageous positions, expand fire control zones in all directions. in an interview with the associated press , president zelensky said that the war with russia is at a new stage. according to him, winter is a new phase of the war, which will take place not only on the fronts, but also inside the cities. the usa also believes that in the winter russia will use the tactics of strikes on the energy infrastructure of ukraine, so that ukraine. were again without light and heat in the most difficult months. russia wanted to destroy critical energy infrastructure of ukraine to deprive the ukrainian people of access to heat and light in the coldest season of the year. russia tried to break the will of the ukrainian people, but of course it was defeated. we are now entering another winter and russia will return to these brutal tactics and once again attempt to destroy ukraine's critical infrastructure. how

will events unfold in the future in the russian-ukrainian war, especially in winter, and what should ukrainians prepare for? we will talk about this further, an officer is with us live zsu, volunteer, head of the mir and co. foundation, mr. myroslav, good evening, good evening, in your opinion, what is the current general strategic situation on all fronts, or indeed, how come some western journalists come to the conclusion that the situation is a stalemate, well it seems to me that it is not my level to talk about the strategic situation, especially since every soldier sees the war in his own trench, and accordingly i can talk about some area, where is the unit in which i have the honor to serve, that is, about the situation on this can speak to the area, that is, in principles, in general, and yes , i think you get enough information from the general staff, from the report of president zelenskyi, which he makes every day, maybe i will rephrase

the question then, what you hear from people who are really at the front now protecting ukraine, who are well, so to speak, the mood, if you can share it, well, the situation is steadily difficult in the main areas, you know, the cediiv, bahunkiv direction, this is the first thing, in principle, everyone was talking about it, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, valery zaluzhny, supreme commander-in-chief, president zelskyi, in principle, other generals talked about this, that in our country we have entered such a certain phase of the opposition war, but this is due to the fact that neither we, nor the enemy can generate... sufficient forces and means to advance successfully , this is due to many reasons, and weather conditions, first of all ammunition, and the fact that the russian federation has been preparing for defense in some areas over the years and built a network of fortifications,

minefields, etc., in principle, we have already talked about all this spoke in the general staff more than once, that is, the situation is stable difficult, it can be noted that i am in our direction. i can say that the russians have simply greatly increased the use of unmanned aircraft, in particular fpv drones, with ammunition, that is, drop drones, so-called household drones, or as we joked, one minister once joked, wedding drones, they began to use them en masse in much greater numbers than it was even a year ago, that is, to a certain extent we can say that they are taking over the tactics of the armed forces of ukraine, because before we had an advantage, we used these drones more actively, now the russians obviously received help from china, or bought these drones in china en masse, but there are enough of them , if before, such unusual types of weapons

were used mainly against equipment, now the russians can use one or two even such drones against one fighter in a position, therefore. the need for means of radio-electronic warfare, the so-called rep, has sharply increased, but unfortunately, the russians, who have been very actively engaged in this since soviet times topic, they have a certain advantage, but we are also expanding, because now more and more ukrainian companies are appearing that produce such tools, and little by little we receive them in brigades, or volunteers deliver such things to us, or we independently...' we buy them in order to secure the personnel, well , plus drones, drones, drones, that is, this is now one of those important types of weapons, because both the russians and we have a certain limited amount of artillery ammunition, well, everyone

points out about this, the russians spent seven million the stockpiles of ammunition they had were no bigger than they had been since soviet times, and that is why putin is traveling all over the world trying to beg china and north korea for artillery ammunition, and we see that our foreign partners, they handed over to us the stockpiles that were they have warehouses and are now trying to ramp up production, particularly the 155-152 calibers, but it will take time because the united states of america, as recently as last year, said it would take them four years to get those lines up and running. which will be able to produce what we need for of the armed forces in sufficient numbers , now, in principle, they produced in a year what the armed forces spent in two or three weeks, in a month, and the same goes for european countries, that is, so that you understand, all bulgarian factories produce in a year what

ukraine needs one or two weeks, mr. myroslav, i want to clarify in which direction you are now, so that we simply understand, i have no right to say in which direction the brigade is, i suspect that it is on one of the yes, on one of the hot ones, now , and you actually mentioned how the russian army was preparing, or rather, well was preparing for ukraine's counteroffensive, and in principle it does this constantly, and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy is also now saying that ukraine should build defense structures in all directions, and in particular he says that there is such a need in the north of the country, in the regions , where there are currently no battles, and also in, for example, the rivne and volhynia regions in the north on the border with belarus, which could indicate that the threat of a second invasion from the north is real, as you can see from what is happening on the field , yes. see threat of invasion there is always, even if the russians need

a pause of three to five years in order to renew their armed forces, and we still understand that they will not lag behind ukraine, because this is their strategic goal, it was the case during the two chechen companies , when they conducted the first operation, then there was a pause of four years and they started the second chechen campaign, the same was the case in georgia, with abkhazia, with ossetia, that is, the russians. in principle, they do not particularly change their approaches to waging wars, they exhaust this or that country, they conduct an operation, capture some kind of bridgehead is fixed there , after some time they conduct the operation again, so i would not relax not only in the place of ukraine, but also in the place of other countries that border russia, these are not only nato countries or european countries, but this and countries of the former soviet union, this also applies to georgia, it applies to other areas. yesterday i wrote a post supporting such an initiative of the president,

because look at what the russians do, as soon as they manage to gain a foothold somewhere, they immediately connect civilian, private or state construction companies, which are starting to build them the second or third line of defense, there the fourth line of defense, pouring these fortifications with concrete, building dugouts in two floors. covering it with wood , building warehouses there, bare to disperse ammunition, places for personnel, command posts, etc., that is, in principle, what the russians have adopted from us, the tactics of using successful, household drones and fpv drones, for example , but i also think that we should look at it, mr. myroslav, he was with us, at least for the connection, i hope we can restore it, there are probably some problems with

the connection, they tell me that myroslav the guy, the officer of zasu will be in touch with us again, mr. myroslav, thank you for coming back, i will continue, yes of course, why didn't you hear me, i will continue, yes, about the tactics of the russians, about the tactics of the russians, it is implied that in order to build such fortifications, the russians will be fortified as much as possible. civil companies, construction companies, state construction companies from russia, which are building their third, the fourth line of defense with a bare fortification system, with warehouses, with command posts, two-story dugouts, etc., that is, accordingly, ukraine needs to act in the same way, that as soon as we liberate some territory, we understand that the russians will try to recapture it, we need to attract... . power to build these fortifications, because it is impossible to do it exclusively with the forces of the armed forces of ukraine

, for this you need a significant resource, and material, and engineers, and engineering equipment, and the most important thing is that the armed forces of ukraine now they are engaged in fighting, they are already building the first and second lines of defense, and here is the third and fourth powerful lines, which would ensure, in the event of a breakthrough, the ability to restrain... the aggression of the russian federation, the state must build, for this, it is necessary to connect the authorities local authorities, private companies, etc., because we have a very large, we have a very large border with the russian federation, all this must be built, at the very end, we still have a minute, i want to ask you what we should actually prepare for, and civilians, civilian ukrainians and those who live far from the front line, on the eve of winter, and under any conditions. i would prepare for the worst case scenario, because it will happen, if the best, fine, but if

not, then you must always prepare for the worst, as the saying goes, i would prepare for a long war, for the possibility of power cuts, water supply if the strikes continue on critical infrastructure, and even if there is a pause at the front, because a certain parity will simply be achieved, i... still would not relax and prepare for such an eternal life with an eternal enemy near our borders, and for this we need to continue to support and reform the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard, all defense forces, spend the budget, to support the defense forces, as they say, carry out, carry out constant rearmament , and the armed forces, in particular to train the civilian population,

as at one time even in the soviet union there were such things as public defense, it is necessary to train and teach the civilian population, tactical medicine, survival in difficult conditions, war, take over the state, thank you very much, in fact , they have been talking about this for the last few weeks, in particular, how it is possible to approach the reform, methods of mobilization, and we will return to these issues in our broadcasts, thank you for being with us, in communication, with us was an officer of the armed forces, a volunteer, the head of the myr and co. foundation, myroslav gai. meanwhile , trains on the baikal-amur highway are exploding one after another in russia, and based on reports from the ukrainian truth, the sbu may once again be behind the detonation. as reported by russian telegram channels, from the explosion six tanks caught fire today, and even a fire engine arrived to extinguish the fire.

i suggest you watch the video of the consequences of this explosion, which was published by the baz telegram channel. yesterday it became known about the explosion of another train in the longest tunnel on the same highway in buryatia. according to ukrainian pravda sources in the sbbu, russia uses this railway in particular for military supplies, probably from china. russia's investigative committee has already opened proceedings and qualified the events in the tunnel as a terrorist attack. thus, they probably went out of order already two branches. the main highway connecting russia and china. well, let me remind you that even before, american officials in particular warned china against military cooperation with russia. in this context, the publication of the publication of the washington post is mentioned recently that the leaders of russia and china allegedly corresponded about plans to build an underwater tunnel that would connect mainland russia and

its occupied crimea in order to create such a transport route that would be potentially protected . from ukrainian attacks. learn more about the current connection between russia and crimea actively used for military logistics of the russian army, olga armyanishyna will tell. gelendzhik on october 4, 2010, the then presidents of ukraine and russia announced an agreement to build a bridge from mainland russia to crimea. we agreed. we agreed to create a special working group, which will now assess what needs to be done and prepare. said such a correct phrase, it would be nice before the football championship, but it is clear that it is unrealistic, then at least before the olympics in sochi, neither before euro-2012 nor before the olympics in sochi, the bridge was not built, but at the end of january 2014, during the active phase of protests against the actions of the authorities,

the ukrainian government declares that they, together with the russian government, approved an agreement on the joint construction of a transport crossing through the kerch strait. even then , the statement said that the future type of transition will be determined after the technical and economic justification. it will be in the form of a tunnel or a bridge, and in less than two months, almost immediately after the annexation of crimea, on march 18, 2014 , russia announced a tender for engineering studies on the construction of the kerch bridge. in fact, construction in 2015 lasted 3 years , and on may 15, 2018, the initiator of the project , vladimir putin, was the first to drive through the completed construction of the century. there were also princesses in different historical eras. in different historical eras, even under the father-tsar, people dreamed of building this bridge. then

they returned to it in the 30s of the last century, in the 40s, 50s, and finally, thanks to your work, yours. however, only the road part of the bridge was opened then, because the railway part was opened later, they did not meet the deadlines, after the bridge was put into operation, several layers of protection, access control, patrol boats, hydroacoustic and s-400 anti-aircraft defense systems were deployed near it. all this was supposed to protect the bridge from air, underwater, surface and ground threats, but it did not save the crimean bridge from partial destruction after attacks already during the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine. on october 8, 2022 , the bridge exploded on the highway. as the head of the security service of ukraine , vasyl malyuk, later stated in an interview with the newspaper nv, it was a special operation of the sbu. a truck filled with containers of

hexane in the tnt equivalent of 21 tons exploded. two spans of the road collapsed into the water. for the second time, the ukrainian special services managed to damage the bridge on july 17, 2023, this time with the help of surface drones , all the babies that crashed into the supports. because of that attack , one of the car spans slipped and moved to the side. the ukrainian authorities and the military have repeatedly emphasized that the crimean bridge was built illegally. the head of gur, kyrylo budanov, made statements about that the bridge will cease to exist when ukraine returns crimea, and president volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized that even now the crimean bridge is a legitimate target for ukraine. for us , this is a clear enemy object, which is built... outside the law and out of respect for international law, outside international law and all norms, respectively, and therefore for us this goal is clear, and any goal that carries

war, and not peace, but must be neutralized. flaws in the russian defense, as well as statements by the ukrainian authorities about the continuation of strikes on the bridge, forced the russian the power to start the victory. they are about the construction of an underwater tunnel under the kerch strait, which would be protected from missile attacks of ukraine. this was reported by the washington post with reference to the ukrainian special services. they claim to have read intercepted e-mails in which it was said that the china state railway construction corporation crcc is ready to ensure the construction of railways and roads of any complexity in the crimea region. and although the publication assured that it confirmed the authenticity of the messages, the ministry of foreign affairs of china did not consider such accusations to be fair. the spokesman of the ministry of foreign affairs stated

that this report is unfounded and he will not comment on it. participation in construction of such a scale on the territory between russia and the occupied crimea entails great risks. in particular, the imposition of sanctions by ukraine and its partners, so even if there were such conversations, after... publication of information about them in the media, china will continue to carefully weigh all the benefits and risks of this agreement. olga armyanyshina, radio liberty. next, we talk about the importance of the crimean bridge for the russian army and whether the russian federation will be able to protect this route. we are in touch with the captain of the first rank of the reserve, ex-deputy chief of staff of the military forces of ukraine, andriy rezhenko. good evening. good evening. so, mr. andriy, what comes to your mind when you hear that russia, probably with china's involvement, allegedly wants to build a tunnel near

the kerch bridge, this can be taken as a kind of admission that the kerch bridge is no longer a reliable route for the logistics of their army ? well, yes, i think there is a fear that the kerch bridge may be completely destroyed, and i want to remind you that in 1945, the bridge across the kerch strait was built in a slightly different place, it was started to be built by the german occupation troops , and then the soviets completed it, so in the 45th year in february, this bridge was destroyed by the ice that appeared on the sea of ​​azov, and here, that is already such... there is an example of this, well and in addition, there is not very clear, seismic, seismic activity in this area, because there

there is such a tectonic fault right here, along the kerch strait, between the crimean peninsula and the krasnoyarsk territory, well, now it really looks like this is an alternative way, but we understand that it is more profitable for the state of russia, which wants to legalize the crimean peninsula as their part and to ensure, well, continuity , reliability of supplies, both military and non-military, that is, this is a political project, and in order to, again, to ensure this new part of the empire for them, well , technically, i am here prove spent such small research, technically, in principle, and it is possible, now there are three such large tunnels, and the first is the european tunnel

under the strait... mamanj, the second is the gottnard tunnel in switzerland and the japanese tunnel, which they are, their length is more than 50 km, and that's exactly eurotel and the tunnel in the sea of ​​japan, they have a significant part of them, they are laid under the sea, and in addition, for the japanese , this tunnel is also characterized by such seismic , well, such, let's say, dangers, but, well, it takes time , technologies, can, possibly estimate, the cost of this tunnel, the crimean order, is several billion dollars, well, i think that since this is such a political goal, then, well, russia will find, perhaps, why ab such funds,

among the 500 billion dollars that it earns annually from the export of gas and oil . mr. andrii, but actually, if we talk about the political goal, is there not also and above all a military goal here, or is it simply unrealistic, so that if it ends there, the construction will be completed, which will be a military situation at that time, and it is also interesting, and whether it will really secure this new way from potential attacks from ukraine? well, yes, i wanted to say that it will take three to five years, the war is going on now, and basically, well , it will take at least three to five years in this area, and again, what, it will be built, it does not mean that, for example, something will not happen in the same tunnel, by the way, i will say that in the eurotunnel there were

several such emergency... situations that mainly arose due to the transportation of automotive equipment there, but what if it happens well , let's say a diversion, as we see now with crimea by a bridge, then the consequences will be much, much worse, and i think that china, too, is now acting very cautiously in relation to russia, and i do not think that it means that it will go to the extent of investing and sanctioning involvement, significant involvement of his own, his business, even a private one in such a, well, project, such, let's say , adventurous, therefore, i think that this was most likely the desire of the russian federation, which is now in such a frozen form, and mr. andriy , when

ukraine, and we already know that at least for one after another of the attacks , it has already been officially recognized in the security service of ukraine that it is ukraine, and when the security service of ukraine in particular makes such attacks on the kerch bridge, and how effective is it, well, from a military point of view, maybe not only from an informational point of view, how much is it effectively disables the logistics of the russian federation, is it really possible to cut off the supply routes and will more attacks be needed in the future to make this completely impossible? well, really, this place is a logistical artery, 25% of cargoes, they go to the crimean peninsula, at least, they are coming through the crimean bridge, in particular through the main railway line, and the needs are very great now, because the ships of the black sea fleet carry out a lot of maneuvers, they use a lot of fuel,

especially since the creams... we destroyed the fuel warehouses, again with strikes of these air and sea drones, that is why this bridge is needed for the logistics of fuel and equipment and personnel, well, as far as i know, actually every day armored vehicles enter crimea through this bridge, as well as now we see, and the personnel and so on, therefore it is very... important, i will say that when the annexation of crimea was carried out in the 14th year, the lack of heavy equipment was the main problem for the russian federation, and because well its presence at that time in those temporarily leased places was prohibited, so even they did not have places for the tanks that they delivered to sevastopol in february,
