topics will be relevant, guests - special. proper names with myroslava barchuk. sunday, 17:10 at espresso. time to talk about avdiivka. probably the hottest direction of the ukrainian front, the hottest spot in our country. maksym morozov, officer of the legion of freedom, major of the ministry of internal affairs, is in touch with us. glory to ukraine, mr. maksym. glory. 4,000 personnel say about so much that this is how many russians are now concentrated in the vdiiv direction, are they all concentrated around aviivka, are they all on the first line along the front, or is this the total number of those who are there and in the vicinity and are ready to replace somewhere? well, this is of course the total number, if they were all in the trenches, then they would... it was already

200, so these are the forces that are involved in offensive actions, these are the forces that are involved in some reserves there, and these are the forces , who are ready to seize the initiative at any moment and go on an attack in the audi direction, of course, this is all the reserves and all their possible units there, who are ready to go on an assault, eh, who is this? who are these, who are these fighters, these are some quality, regular troops, because they also write about the storm and about the newly mobilized, and we know that somewhere in odmurtia, several new e-e units are now being formed, and accordingly, how high-quality these soldiers are, how serious a threat they are to us, well, first of all, this a mischievous solyanka, she was always mischievous here. in solyanka, there were

no clearly defined groups here, i don’t know, only regular troops, or only representatives of the so-called separatist formations or someone else, there were always several representatives here, representatives of several clans, so this the collective solyanka continues, here both regulars and stormz are mobilized in the temporarily occupied territories. and as for the quality, the quality is different , there are professional fighters, there are ordinary two-legged muscovites, but all of them, in principle, are valued by their leadership worse than dogs, therefore, accordingly, ah, the moment when they come there, there is absolutely no quality does not save them, that is, there are really zealous, there are motivated, there are fighters who want to... kill ukrainians, there are

simply frightened, but this does not save them, that is, their leadership, yes, they change tactics, but something is confused, they try different options for the use of offensive actions, but they all lead to one thing, the elimination of these high-quality or low-quality battles. ugh, armored vehicles are being actively brought up and used there, do they have enough of them in the avdiiv direction, and do you manage to use drones somewhere else to work well with that equipment? well, first of all, the equipment is always used, you and i understand very well that they have a fairly serious stock of this equipment, they repair it, they manufacture it and deconserve it accordingly and many other things are applied accordingly.

in our area, of course, the mass application that was in october is not present now, because firstly, the soils, and secondly, they still, in our opinion, are already forming an armored fist for some kind of final assault on avdiivka and an extremely large mass use of equipment is still expected, now the equipment is usually used, so to speak... a little at a time, let's call it that, but in such normal quantities, if it was one or two, a unit of equipment is now three four is used, and the technique is precisely eliminated now in the majority by uav drones, or by a car, again when adjusting reconnaissance drones, that is, all drones that are in the direction of uavs, each of them performs its function.

there are kamikaze drones, there are shock drones, there are reconnaissance drones with the help of, again, which are corrected by cars and destroyed both equipment and infantry, and again, taking advantage of the opportunity, units near the vehicle always shoot down, declare a crash on drones and so itself again my one of my units yes is currently collecting for a certain strike drone, which is needed in order to destroy the moscow plant at a further distance, we will actually now publish information about this collection of requisites, how can we support you, you in the meantime yes. here is this information, this account number, card number, you can see on the screen now, this is a collection for fighters, for maksym morozov's brothers for the legion of freedom, what we talked about, what is needed now. and we would like to ask you, mr. maksym, to describe in general what the current situation is

around avdiyivka, because what is happening in promtsi, what about the plant, sewage treatment plants, and there in the north near the steppe, what is happening now, well, if specifically about hoksokhim, no, let me first thank you, because last time your tv channel helped me close one collection, so for that thank you, and i also hope that this collection will help to close it, now we go to the question, and we will take places that are extremely important for everyone, koksukhin, everyone there is very worried about him now, but the situation there, although difficult, but stable, the only one in... the success of the muscovites in this direction was several, probably already weeks ago, this they then ran to pavkan, where they were successfully eliminated, after that there were no such successes, even hints in this direction

, so far there is no enemy and god forbid there will not be, of course everything depends on our defense forces, therefore koksukhym, koksukhym is completely under the control of the armed forces of ukraine . of course, it is shelled and airstriked , bombed, it is constantly under fire from fszv and avta, but it is 100% under our office, and not only that, i don't even remember when moskalnia made an attempt to reach at least perkan. now for pomzona, pomzona remains the most critical point on the entire map, because for all. all these years of both war and full-scale invasion, the industrial zone was subject to mass car strikes, mass air strikes, respectively, all those buildings that were there are gradually turning into construction debris, it is very, very difficult to introduce any defensive measures,

respectively, based on the temperature , which is now falling, in general any fighter there may have some opportunity to defend himself, but at this temperature. is, then it becomes more difficult and more difficult, that is why heavy battles are going on now, but everyone is ready for the fact that it may become a gray zone, but now that is not the case, now it is under control, battles are going on, no one is trying not to give anything, but the defense forces are also preparing for all the varians, to the positive, that is, we will knock out the muscovites every time, and to the negative, if we have to turn this into a gray zone, that is, for... now the most critical situation is in the industrial zone, and there it is the gate to avdiivka, which katsapnia can open and launch this ramtank fist into old woman, but the defense forces continue destroy and liquidate moscow and their equipment. as for the steppe steppe, there were attempts

by the occupying forces to take over the steppe, they were there because they crossed the railway that is there and... they tried to enter, because they even entered the first houses in front, it is true, that is how they ran into the steppe and tried to gain a foothold. to move, to move towards the center of this small hamlet, but were eliminated, and then our forces counterattacked and pushed the muscovites back behind the railway, so everything remained, so to speak, on the steppe status quo, he zale... remains under our control, the railway is a gray area and the muscovites are doing something there behind the railway, they are probably trying to dig in and survive. estonian intelligence scouted, scouted and published the following about the fact that the situation is becoming even more

tense in ukraine, they are writing against the background of the fact that the wall street journal, according to their opinion, writes that we probably won't be able to hold the next big one yet. one counteroffensive this summer, next summer of the 24th, and until the 25th, we will accumulate forces, so against this background the estonians write that now the situation is tense, the russians are regrouping, and it is assumed that they are now preparing for some such more powerful, large-scale actions. do you feel it on the front line, that this is exactly what it looks like? well , look, i will answer the second half of the question, because we are constantly under offensive actions, under assault actions of the enemy, the enemy is constantly attacking, there were no counterattack actions in avdiivka. which are not aimed at defense, i.e. we never launched any counterattack or attack in order to

advance there, unfortunately, so far in avdiivka this did not happen, all our offensive actions are aimed at extinguishing or leveling or eliminating the enemy's offensive actions, and accordingly we have such a situation, it is the entire period of a full-scale invasion, we are in a dead end or in a position. defense, regarding the analysis of our counteroffensive, i somewhat disagree with this data, because i believe that the offensive is primarily aviation, it is technology, it is a full measure and the presence of drones of various types, accordingly, our offensive will begin then, when we are fully equipped with drones, shock, reconnaissance, when we will be provided with aviation. and as for the fighters themselves , the fighters, i think we have been motivated for a long time to go on a counteroffensive with the support, of course, but

the latest technologies, because all these ball storms are all up to the muscovites and as if to them, so if we count, if we storm like muscovites , then at least yes, maybe tomorrow, but it will lead to a huge number of ukrainian losses, ukrainian fighters, which neither the ukrainian state nor ukrainian society wants, respectively. what is based i don't know what their data is based on, but i say once again, with a sufficient number of the latest aviation technologies, a counteroffensive of ukraine is possible even in the 24th year. thank you, mr. maksym, major of the ministry of internal affairs, officer of the legion of freedom maksym morozov was with us, about aviation, we will talk further, although after a short pause, please wait. 10 game in the afternoon, i will visit lviv! st. nicholas as his own person in maryana

the general staff informs that there were explosions in mykolaiv yesterday, fortunately the impact was in an open area, there were no casualties, no injuries, no destruction, meanwhile now the air force informs about the missile danger in the south of dnipropetrovsk. kherson and zaporizhzhia regions are already under threat of ballistics, so stay in shelters and take care of your own safety. we will talk with ihor romanenko, the founder of the charity fund we will close the sky of ukraine, a general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in the past. glory to ukraine, mr. igor. i congratulate

you. we welcome you to our air. mr. general, let's go from the south. we will start the direction, estonians write, analyze the situation, they write that the russians showed such disorientation and lack of cohesion on new areas of the front, and in fact, all this resulted in great losses precisely in those areas, which were new for them areas of hostilities, they suggest that this may have happened because that they don't know the territory, they don't know the minefields, not everyone trained together , respectively, some know something, others don't, how can you characterize and analyze what is happening now on the left bank of the kherson region? well, firstly, i think it is expedient to recall that in order for this region not to become the direction of our, our

counteroffensive actions, the russians, from a military point of view, blew up the kakhovskaya dam. reservoirs and flooded the territory, a defense fortification was equipped there from their side, all this was washed away, moved, flooded and so on, and therefore in many ways they get exactly what they laid, in this regard, the situation is not the same as was earlier for them, and since they declared that they would not allow it under any circumstances. the dnipro defense forces of ukraine, and we know that this happened, and we need this thesis to reinforce the propaganda on their part by striking, it is they who make aviation, er, artillery, pull up reserves here, again, it should be reminded that from the kherson direction they transferred

forces to the zaporizhia region, and now they are looking for what. .. to take this direction in order to strengthen the defenses , well, one way or another, they are concentrating their forces there, which means they have pulled up two divisions in their rear, but our defense forces are not wasting time, so these plazdarmes are expanding even taking into account such prospects, if they were declared. skim administrations in all territories that , for example, from the new kahovka will evacuate, evacuate the population wherever they want on december 13, that is, it is planned to the north, if the front, and in the south there is also a question

about what it means to evacuate the population, they this was proposed and this... what are the signals regarding what is going on in the best way they have there, we still have an advantage in unmanned vehicles in this direction, that is, if they have such a quantitative advantage on the entire front, but we manage to hold on to this for the time being, and this is not just a number from our side, and the application is successful, and due to this, not only on the shore. where these battles are taking place, our defense there is being strengthened, but if the previous, according to foreign sources from experts, what about... the largest island in this direction has been liberated from the occupiers, that is , there are such positive signals, but the question is how many

resources are there in the forces defense of ukraine in the conditions of the fact that the enemy is conducting offensive actions along the entire front, the most intense, as we can see, is avdiyivka, it is makhmut from the point of view of the city. will attack, is trying , especially in the north of the ticks, these are the kupyan and liman directions, that is , due to this, the reserves that remained from the counter-offensive, our military leadership is forced to use in order to stop this enemy advance, even if it is budemore, mr. general, in order not to divulge any information that could be used by the enemy... even by accident, let's talk about what happened yesterday, so we've already relaxed a bit, we're used to the fact that shaheds are flying, with missiles were quieter, if we are talking about the entire

territory of ukraine, and here, after almost three months, almost 80 days of missile lull, missiles were fired from tu-95 ms bombers, well, they actually terrified the whole country a little, due to the fact that they constantly changed their trajectory until sunset, they flew almost completely, then they turned around, but the anxiety was long and throughout ukraine, your forecasts, it was a one-time action, could it be repeated, and what was the goal, because in the end they said that after all, mostly dnipropetrovsk region and kyiv region was the target the russians have a reserve, they have resources, they have accumulated it, it is about 900 modern high-precision missiles. during this time they accumulated to launch them from an air platform, here 95 ms, 160, tu-22m3, bombers, in addition,

calibers, this is from the platforms of sea, ships, boats, missile and submarine boats, and there is also iskander, operational-tactical the missile complex is launched by cruise missiles, namely those missiles... which can lay a route not in the wrong direction only from one side, and they can fly around areas of anti-flood defense and enter from a completely different side, and in the last application we saw it, from a military point of view, increasing the effectiveness of an air strike is achieved due to the integration of the types of means of air attack, which they carry out, that is, not only ... cheap shahedis, although improve there, there are already white ones, black ones, including the use of sevens, for example, kyivstar, and other things, they are looking for ways

to modernize, but the power of the combat part of the shahed missiles is not the same as that of all cruise missiles, here it is more powerful , well, except for the winged ones there is a ballistic one, but a winged one is a more flexible such tool, and therefore a combination of... single rockets and missiles of various types leads to an increase in efficiency, and a small number, you provided the data yourself, were shot down, but a fraction reached the goal. with the aim of countering such means, we are increasing the potential of anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense equipment, including a request for anti-missile defense. harrows to the american allies regarding the transfer of not only patriot anti-missile systems, but also longer-range systems,

such as a watch, well, actually, if we are already on this topic, we are talking about the fact that there are missiles that are shooting at us, then we need to protect somehow, there is this concept of three broken projects, how to somewhat change the ukrainian air defense system, again there to remake the patriots, to adapt those soviet anti-aircraft missile systems that we have so that they can work with western missiles, how do you assess these initiatives, how long will it take to implement these plans and to be able to as soon as possible protect these air defense systems ukrainian sky? this is a separate topic, that is, i am now talking about the fact that...

it is very important to integrate the elements of the soviet anti-aircraft missile systems that we have in service, and these systems have the use of missiles that are limited in number, both buk and kup, not talking about the patriot, which is given to us, and therefore found the way of work of scientists of the military industrial complexes of the united states and ukraine. regarding the development of such integrated anti-aircraft missile systems under the frankensam program, for example, a complex of launch elements installations in the first place, but not only buka to unite using missiles, which is a large number of americans, all sparov sea missiles, and in addition, the second direction of the project,

this is... a cube with sainder missiles, this is air, air and not only , they are also used for surface-to-air complexes and also a large number of americans, and to re-adapt the patriot missile and the launcher to the elements of the soviet medium-range complex that we have in our arsenal, this gives, first of all, an increase in the number, for example, of the complex beech, by... the account of information up to 60 additional can be due to the fact that there will be this kind of development and delivery to the armed forces, and they would already have finished exams of this kind, and there are also directions, once i emphasize the cube with sainder missiles and even with patriot missiles and do not stop in military scientists and businessmen from both ukraine

and the united states of america are working in this direction, we remember that independent ukraine has existed there for more than 30 years, we asked our allies to jointly develop some kind of weapon, but they said that this was classified information, secrets, of nato or of each country, but the war changed, changed the approaches, and now we see the results of such activities, specifically... strengthening the potential of anti -aircraft anti-missile defense, mr. igor, we still have a minute and a half to the moment of silence, i would like to briefly ask about these naval drones, we yesterday saw the video, it's about the magura v5, how much again, your assessment, cool, our engineers updated them, changed them and brought them to the point where they can be used for a little bit with other purposes in this war, that's it. it's good

that our allies are studying this experience, but half a glance, it is even more interesting that the russians are collecting the remains of these actions, which means that there are still three types of these surface drones, but we are digging and conducting tests of underwater drones, so they are collecting and trying to catch up with us, to convert them into mobile sea vehicles there. and this is a lot of talk, that is , this direction is promising, and high -level, world-level development is taking place here, i think in the near future we will see another use of these marine surface and underwater drones. thank you, general igor romanenko, the founder of the charitable fund we will close the sky of ukraine, and in the past the deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine was with us. it's getting close to 9:00. zero

time when we remember and honor all the victims of the russian-ukrainian war, all those who died at the hands of the russians. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
