let's go, where, there, come on, chris, hello, this is svoboda ronok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. big ether. vasyl zina, two hours of airtime,

two hours of your time, two hours to learn about the war and what the world is like, two hours to keep up with economic news and sports news, two hours in the company of favorite presenters, presenters who have become like-minded to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for intelligent and caring people, in the evening at espresso. we return to the conversation, and accordingly, before telling you what is being done in the bakhmut area, we will tell you what defense minister umirov presented, finally they created some agency that will deal with procurement, because he says that the stupidity and scandals with procurement have been solved finally after 10 years of war and two years of full-scale war in order.

in the direction of bakhmut is very difficult, can you decipher these very difficult for us so that it is clear how much and what is the difficulty? in general, now the enemy has come to, let's say, offensive actions, began to press along the entire front line, activation is present, directly and present in the direction of bakhmut. the situation

is complicated by the fact that the enemy constantly throws up reserves, the enemy constantly uses all its available forces and means in order to take advantage of the weather conditions, to take advantage and these advantages and build up the position lost in the past, for now the situation will be repeated once again, it is tense, quite complicated, but fully controlled with... the gathered forces of ukraine, we in turn use all available forces and means and try and do everything for to stop the enemy in all his offensive actions. mr. rodion, but there are already videos and comments about these assaults, when just a column of a really huge number of russian soldiers marching without hiding, and there is actually information that it is more eastern.

ivanivskyi, how much is happening, and now we will show these shots, how many of these russian infantry are there, what they can afford, and how often are you... skiing in full-length columns they can afford, for example, during the day . there are a lot of videos that appear on the internet now , where the enemy is inflicted damage, it's just that these videos are from a cliche direction, yes, if you can say so, and this video that you are showing now, just an insane amount of infantry being eliminated from fpv drones , which trying to meet and so on and the like, what this shows is a standard tactic of the russian federation of the terrorist russian federation, they use one of their, let's say, certain advantages, yes, these are the advantages in the personnel, and they try with the help of such, let's say ,

a flurry of wave attacks, to break our forward edge and break the line of defense of the armed forces of ukraine, but just when we watch, mr. major, when we watch this video. it just looks wildly wild and idiotic, they grow in full growth on completely bare terrain, well, realizing that they are actually a super target, and they don’t even run, run over, hide, that is, it ’s something like that, i remind them of cockroaches or something like a zombie apocalypse, that is, they go in a dugout into battle or what am i... with a professional eye, tell us when you look at these shots, when they are moving slowly, this is, let's say, a standard tactic of the russian federation, the army of the russian federation, i will emphasize once again that they have two advantages, this a large number of personnel, a large

number of forces and means, precisely the means and ammunition for them, use their advantages in this way and throw a large amount of powder at the front edge. equipment and shells , how often do they do it, well, just so you understand, they are capable of such assaults, directly in the direction of bakhmut, once there every three to four days they can implement such an attack format, all these attacks are repelled, there is a very many videos where this infantry simply crumbles, not even a wet spot remains from it, the equipment is on fire, but so that you understand what pace is currently happening in the bakhmut direction. and in principle along the entire front line, where the enemy became more active. but, if we are actually talking about when such an assault takes place, yes, when they go in such a large number so as not to lose our personnel, then it is probably more appropriate to partially

retreat after all, we correctly understand that this is the loss of parts of positions on dachas, which is presented on the maps, it is precisely for these reasons, simply the preservation of our people. because, well, because it is the most valuable thing we have. in general, on the battlefield , during certain activities, there is such a maneuver as the concept of a defensive maneuver, which helps, as you correctly said, to preserve its personnel and inflict more successful damage on the enemy, raise him to more advantageous positions for damage, so i will repeat once again, the situation in the bakhmut direction is very tense, but completely under control. on the armed forces of ukraine. general sevskyi says that their closest task is to seize the yar times. chasiv yar is, after all , a height with enough from the point of view of driving even military operations, this is a tactically advantageous

position for us, and how is it that they are advancing in this direction, because i see arrows in the gray zone for the last few days, that is, they are pushing there, but also... and and and and have at least some progress, pushing the line? as for the enemy's plans, there are many of them, one of the, let's say, systemic ones, which we see on the front line, is the very deprivation of the logistic routes of the armed forces of ukraine, and this cutting, including in the direction of chasovo yar. at the moment, i cannot tell you the whole situation, which is happening in order not to reveal how our positions. so are the positions of the enemy, but it is repeated once again that the situation is tense, but controlled by the armed forces of ukraine, even with such tough, numerous enemy attacks, we continue to hold our positions. mr. major, we also heard from the military that there is a great need for an increase in the number

of various radio-electronic warfare means, that is, soldiers, from trenches to all others, that is, in your area . now there is another revolution of means on the front edge, means of foraging on front edge, what i want to say is... that both the armed forces of ukraine and the enemy have greatly increased the use of fpv, first person view drones. these drones are causing damage today in terms of personnel, equipment, logistics, and so on and so forth. that is, they can quite clearly practice at all the distances that i have listed for you. and we need to very much increase the water of the rep-stations

directly in the trenches, on the equipment, on the evacuation equipment and close all these logistics routes, i would say that we are increasing, the situation in this direction has already stabilized, but there is still room for growth, the more such protection for our servicemen, the better i... he will perform combat tasks better. thank you, mr. rudion, for the conversation, good luck, yes, thank you for everything. rodion kudryashov, the deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine was in touch with us, we are going to take a short break, then we will try to summarize everything that is happening at the front with our permanent expert serhiy zgurets. wait. have you already purchased a thermal underwear gentle hugs from rozpak tv? then hurry, because we are announcing a sale, a light, warm and

9:00. according to the results of november, the espresso tv channel takes the first place among information broadcasting channels, for the eighth month in a row, we are the first. greetings, it's news time on the air espresso tv channel. this november we turned 10 years old, we updated the design, sound. we continue the saturday political club of khrystyna yatskiv and vitaly portnikov. our values ​​and ukrainian point of view remain unchanged. stay tuned for the updated espresso and thank you for your trust. we told you. we actually have operational information, this is after yesterday's alarming statements by the commander of the ground forces, general tsirsky, about the offensive actions in the kupinsky, limansk , bakhmut direction by the russian-fascist invaders, but not hopefully, the news reached us that where

the confrontation had been in place for quite a long time in the south of the zaporizhzhia region itself, the ugledar is suddenly on the agenda again. this is what we will begin to ask serhiy sgurets, director of the information and consulting company defense express, about when contacting us. mr. serhiy, congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory, good morning, i congratulate you. so what suddenly happened in such a positional confrontation and here suddenly ugledar appears again in the middle of the winter of the 23rd, what is going on there? well, actually we are talking that the enemy is now trying, due to the advantage in the number of personnel of the ibrontechnika , to carry out offensive actions in many directions, which is what our two commanders, syrskyi and ternavskyi, are talking about, when we talk in this context about the ugledar, then the russian federation tries, well, conventionally speaking, using combat actions in the zone of maryanka,

then from maryanka to carry out coverage, move towards victory, further. to move towards the ugledar, in the same way, well, they are trying to carry out frontal actions of the ugledar, such a long time ago it was not, but in any case, we understand that the ukrainian army predicted that the enemy would try to align this defense line of avdiyivka, maryanka, ughledar, so that in this way, well, first of all, to ensure the transport routes, which are concentrated there and go through volnovakha, volnovaha is not working yet. there is a very small distance to our positions, it is under fire if the enemy does something there, but this is precisely connected, well , in parallel with the enemy's attempt to create, well , improvement of logistical routes, which then should ensure the activity of the group of russian troops, which is still

in our occupied territories, that is , it is clear that their attempt to move from north to south from... from maryanka, captured due to victory, and from the vanguard to try to cut off the entire territory again, here at least at least there is some logic, but there is another story, but it is quite sharp, it is about the fact that there is little information, but our marines on the left bank of the dnieper, in the krynok region, actually hold a bridgehead, and this bridgehead reacts to everything the leadership of the russian army, let them get mad, but the problem is that the problem is that for some reason overseas and other publications such as the new york times decided this time that they know better, see better, feel and maybe even worry about what is happening there on the left bank, and the day before, a few days ago, they published an article that all that

the ukrainian army did was in vain, that it was just a loss of people. that these are swamps, what is it that ours are simply being destroyed there, and after that everyone could see or to read, yes, on the one hand, it is good, because the world learned more that there are cover-ups, there is such an operation, on the other hand, there is already a reaction from the ukrainian side and such a military ukrainian, robert brody, his call sign is magyar, because he is a company commander birds of the magyar , he already answered, and first of all he was indignant at this article, well, he told me that he is not... for how many 3 months, he has been there almost since the first day of the offensive on the left bank and performs the tasks, so everyone hunts them we are in such and such in such and such vinaigrette information exchanges of opinions , how do you see this whole situation, including media and

real operative on the ground, well, when we talk about the actions on... on the banks of the dnipro, in the kherson region, about the areas that our marines receive, then these areas remain extremely important, precisely in a tactical, prospective, operational-tactical sense. we know how difficult it is for our marines to operate in these directions, because there, relatively speaking, everything depends on the fact that it is necessary to constantly provide through the river. dniprokaterami on our marine units, but the losses that these units, including our artillery, means of fpv. from the right bank of the dnieper are inflicted on the enemy, this is the factor that significantly affects the situation on this part of the front, because the enemy

, firstly, needs to maintain sufficiently significant groups of his troops there, and secondly, he cannot be sure what it will be like further dynamics, despite the fact that there we understand that on the one hand it seems difficult to ensure, relatively speaking, the forcing of the dnipro, at a certain stage it is so, but the enemy... all the same, he does not reject such a prospect and is forced to simply transfer the same, even newly formed, airborne assault divisions there, in particular, the 104th, which is already sufficiently torn during this time, but is considered new, and is also thrown into these areas where our military groups operate , it is really extremely difficult to operate there, but given the task, this direction remains extremely promising, and i, for example, was even surprised ... relatively speaking, this new york times publication appeared about, relatively speaking, the difficulty of conducting combat actions the ukrainian army, although in the operational

sense it is extremely necessary, but was ignored, in particular, other data, which, for example, were in the same article, in the snn, when the data of the american intelligence about the number of destruction of the russian military, in total within 360,000, i.e. in fact, this news should have been top news for everyone. of the american mass media, which confirms that the ukrainian army fights effectively enough and destroys the russian potential as powerfully as any nato army would do, and against this background there was less information, and now we we are discussing, conditionally speaking, the situation from the publication of the new york times, which actually says that the ukrainian troops are not conducting rational combat operations, although in fact these combat operations are quite rational in view of the important... of this direction of combat operations, so i think , that the effect is informational, it even somewhat coincides with those statements made by the new york time, which putin also made, when he spoke about the

fact that, relatively speaking, in the krynks, the russian army is suffering sanitary losses there, and the ukrainian side, well does not send its fighters on suicide attacks, relatively speaking, here the new york times is actually, well, playing along with putin in those directions. which are actually shaking european partners who are starting, there are certain doubts about the pace of volumes and the expediency of support , it is understandable, mr. mr. sergey, look straight ahead, this information campaign is going differently and it has a different dimension. for the first time , the pentagon announced the date when they run out of money for military aid, december 30. for the first time we actually hear it on the air, when colonel shtupun says that he is the press secretary of the tavriysky defense forces the direction that the defense forces do not curtail

any operation at the front, but reformat it under the conditions of a shortage of shells, a difficult wording for us, here is the information from the pentagon that we hear, including from general ternavskyi, about the lack of shells, what this will mean on this winter campaign, well , first of all, first about american funds, in parlance, they are talking about 1 billion for new weapons, the contracts for which will actually be exhausted by the 30th, these are really contracts that are ordered from american companies for in order to to produce new samples of weapons, but literally there two weeks ago, even a week ago , it was said that there are remnants of 3.8 there. billion dollars, which refer to the funds that allow to take weapons from the pentagon's stockpiles, that is, in fact, these 3.8

are still optionally available for the supply of military aid to ukraine, if we take into account that the last packages there are in the range of 200 million, then conditionally speaking, these 3 .8 billion will still be enough there, at least for two months, that's for sure, they will be enough, but as i understand it now... congress cannot, conditionally speaking, to give consent to the supply of old weapons until the contracts for the production of new weapons to replace those supplied to ukraine are concluded, so for now this situation remains, but i think that in the near future everything after all , an aid package will be approved within the limits of the sums that are currently being blocked in the debate between the democrats and the republicans, it is about 62 billion, i think. when we talk about the lack of shells,

it is a situation in... it is known, it is somewhat difficult, but ternavsky first of all says that we are talking about a lack of ammunition of soviet calibers, because we have several thousand artillery there - these are sub-soviet calibers under the caliber 152-122 and relatively speaking, there are about 400 systems under the caliber of the standard 155 mm, ternavskyi really says that we are currently reformatting the stockpile of shells in relation to the others in order to... to determine the most optimal format of hostilities, taking into account the lack of ammunition, and this is precisely an impetus, another such impetus, for the european and american partners to activate their works are related to the creation and transfer of ammunition in ukraine, but still , the real picture here is that the minimum needs of the ukrainian army in ammunition are somewhere within the limits of 200,000 ammunition

per month, in order to receive. balance with the enemy, as of today, european and american companies have handed over one and a half tons of 1.5 million ammunition to us, but the production rate of european and american companies is about 100,000 per month, they will reach only at best at the end of the 24th year, i.e in fact, now we can count primarily on the stockpiles of ammunition, which... is stored in the american army, in particular , it is also about, as i understand it, 3 million cluster munitions, in a cluster arrangement, which are at our disposal, we understand your point, we have two minutes and another very important question, because the fact that the russians over there modified, copied our sea baby and called it a dandelion is one story, but another is that we are also working, and now these ukrainian cobra attack drones are declaring that they have started to manufacture them. already

serially, so 300 km flies quite far and quite well, realistically, how many of these drones can leave the assembly line in, say, a month, we understand, yes, but are we ready to produce such a quantity, or can the state ensure the production of such a quantity to ensure the needs of the front, because lately we have only been talking about the lack of drones, the lack of a bull, we have a little more than a minute, mr. serhiu. well, when we talk about drones, this should be done primarily by the system state, deputy minister of defense gavryliuk said that we next year we have to significantly increase the production of fpv drones, first of all, to partially compensate for the lack of artillery ammunition, although this is a rather debatable topic, and when we talk about the proactive developments of our companies, to which we include this unmanned cobra complex, which is metal and actually ,

which, well, conditionally... speaking, as far as i am concerned, has not yet passed the cycle of tests and confirmation of its characteristics, so i, for the time being, would not rush ahead and try to assess the needs and capabilities of our armed forces in this proactive decision made by a certain creative team of our manufacturers, most likely we should look at those samples that have already been tested by combat and which can be scaled in sufficient quantity, i have no information how... quickly this enterprise can scale the production of cobras, how they are effective for the destruction of military targets, which are actually the production capacity of this enterprise to provide the required quantity that may be needed on the front line. thank you, mr. serhiy, serhiy sgurets, director of the defense express information and consulting company, the espresso tv channel was on the air, and we are approaching 9:00 a.m. and now we will honor

everyone's memory with a moment of silence. those who died as a result of the russian-ukrainian war, all civilians and all military personnel, all those who gave their lives for our will and independence. so, a moment of silence. 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.
