with the support of the national assembly of persons with disabilities of ukraine and enable me ukraine. well, we are currently analyzing the situation in kharkiv oblast, the kupyan direction. we are in touch with denys yaroslavskyi, commander of the armed forces of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. commander. glory to the heroes, congratulations to the studio. well, the activation of the enemy in the kupinsky direction. let's start now, what is happening in the sinkivka area. very heavy fighting is currently going on in the area of ​​sinkivka, the enemy is trying to steal sinkivka so that it does not start paying until the new year, i have already been there several times information that does not correspond to the truth, and in the reports of the russian military commanders there, who reported that they took the sonkivka, but this is not an answer to the reality, so now there are heavy battles, our guys are standing there, not giving up a single house, for...

they the assault groups move forward a little, and behind them they create and create an echeloned defense so that there is a place to roll back and pick up the bc, that is, they work, we hold. mr. denis, we know that yesterday the occupiers, or rather today the occupiers shelled the kupyansk junction in the kharkiv region, which was de-occupied in the fall of last year, do you know anything about the consequences of this attack , what happened there, if you can share it with...

yes, i will tell you, it was a little calm there yesterday, along kupinsky, along kupinsky junction, i don't know what they didn’t shoot there, but before that, a few days before that, and now they are working for all the barrel artillery of the rszzo, they are working, they are going in assaults, all this is their preparation for the invasion, that’s how it works, that is, first they are cleaned our bodies positions, then breaks through, attempt to break through the line of defense. kupensk hub is a priority for them. kupenskuzlovy, i have said many times, is the biggest junction, a railway junction, and therefore it is a priority for them. they divide kupinsky kupinsky knots, the river, there are dams there, but they are blown up, so they, realizing that they are our crossings that we are rebuilding there, constantly blow them up and know that we will not be able to transfer the main reserves so quickly across the river, that is why they are trying so hard take kupinska. well, what can you show the map so that

the viewer understands. yes sir commander we understand that the enemy is now actively using manpower, infantry, assault units, various levels of filling and support from the technical side, we would like to ask you, in general, whether you feel and see any operational plan of the enemy, and what you should be ready for, well because there are several working versions, in particular, everything will, of course , depend on the amount of resources that the enemy will be... ready to put, in particular in the kupinsky direction, but we understand that there are no such, i think, isolated autonomous operations of the enemy, i i think there is a certain intention yes, and they would like to go to the maximum in one or another attempt to cut off our units or our groups, if they take, well, they try to take senkiivka and catch kupyanska, then in fact they have one of their strategic tasks. will be carried out, because

we will be cut off from our feet to the river, we will not be able to force our way there, they will know that we have a natural barrier, and they will be based there, then this will be a very serious situation that will develop in the kupinsky direction , but we do not allow it, now there is no precondition for what will happen kupensklovi is somehow surrounded, the defense is holding up there, it’s so hard, but it’s holding up, sinkivka is even harder, well, but if we’re going to take avdiivka here already, then believe me, it’s the most hellish place for the guys right now, that’s why we understand their plan, we understand, how to counter it, the enemy used to use manpower directly, especially the azeks, this was the norm, now the enemy is smarter, the enemy saves people, you understand what i’m saying, the enemy, who has an unlimited human resource, he saves it, so they storm constantly with small in groups, but they use artillery, well, if not collected. there are probably one to

five, we have one projectile there, they are five, well plus or minus, they also use half the drones, a very large number, they use kamikanza drones, bomber drones, they use all this en masse, that is, en masse , they put all this on the rails, on the mass rails, and that is why they still prevail in the means of force, that is, in power, making an impression, this is how we defend, this is our priority, well, defending is always easier than attacking, but they are gathering strength and continue to do it, mr. denys, you mentioned the massive use of drones, i would like to ask you a question about the new bplg department in the general staff. how do you think this department will be able to be that useful and, let's say, that will be able to cover most of the needs of our armed forces in terms of providing our armed forces with the drones that are needed? come on, better late than

never, this is the time, we talked about it eight months ago, when my american friends who make drones came for the first time switch blade, they said about it in ... 7 months ago that we now need to completely switch to drone support, use them massively, that is, massively - it's not three to five drones a day, it's thousands of drones that will plow all targets that are on the contact line and to a depth of 20 or more kilometers, but now we have just reached this, so this is a priority, i remind you that almost a year ago south korea created such a similar department and now it is being successfully developed, understand this is war nato generals admitted that they did not have any idea about the war of the 21st century, now there are no textbooks on this war, no one except ukrainians and russians has experience in how to use it, all countries are now switching from heavy artillery, from the production of heavy goosebumps to

the production of massively different types of uavs , different types of slaves. i will remind you that the russians, no matter how it sounds and no matter who likes it, today the rebbe is one of the best in the world, they have made a great step forward, they have more than a hundred institutes working on it, now the whole the doctrine of war is changing, and the faster we change it, the more efficient we are in this direction, the more chances we have, well , in any case, we are also aware of how actively the enemy uses its manpower, and the question of symmetrical answers from our side, your vision, mr. commander, look... neither nato, i assure you, this, i will say with confidence, neither nato, nor the countries of the alliance, not a single european or american country, with their massive technologies, with their high-precision rockets, with their weapons, even like us they probably didn't see high-tech

weapons there yet, they weren't ready that the russians, like in the first and second world wars, would use them en masse, drive people away, that's the mass. they do not feel sorry for people, that is, i am not sure that nato troops, having lost 50-70-100 thousand people , would not stop, well, for them, every person is a priority, to date, the russians take it, the russians burn them by the thousands, this is the tatar-mongolian saga of the 21st century, and putin has shown that he can burn people like hell, no civilization was ready for this. society, this is a fact, and we must take this fact into account, if we compete with the russians resource-wise, as they burn, then we will run out in a year, well, objectively there are more of them, precisely because we understand that they don't feel sorry, they burn people, but they just don't feel sorry, we have to

switch exclusively to technology, we can't compete with them in terms of human resources in any way, and what should we do, for example, with the implementation of this or that. no, we don't like it either, because the first wave of people who came to fight, that's how we have been there since the 26th, yes, we are already tired, and many of us have already died, but we came voluntarily and we understand what we were going for, the people who are being driven away now are people who will immediately be all for nothing, that is the state

will continue to spend money, that is, they drive away everyone from the partially fit, well, now at least they went to the gym, it seems like healthy people there, but these are all scumbags who will come... the very first line of contact, leave their weapons and run away, i don’t want to tell a military secret there, how many hair dressers do we have, but believe me, it's enough, it will only be their addition to the ranks of the outcasts, so... all this is very, i think, not done correctly, i would give hints, but you know, whether they will hear it or not , we have a lot of dftg, you know, what is dftg, volunteer formations that were formed under which village village councils there, let's start with them, there are tiktok troops, there are a lot of instagram troops, take some of the abukhiv adf or chernivtsi, chernivtsi, some bukovil deftg, and they. other than that they are booked from the real army, nothing they don't take the lists of these deftgshniks

, who do nothing but instagram, there they go somewhere in kramatorsk to take pictures at best, there are 100,000 people, 1000 people, the average brigade is 300 people, well , look how many deftgshniks of the brigades you also collect, i am i know one such dftg, which fought and turned into a regiment of the national guard, this is a charter, i mean, that's the only thing that comes to my mind now, all the others. this is a tiktok of the army, these deftgeshniks need to be cleaned now. the second situation is this the security forces, who retired at the age of 35-40, all made disability certificates for $200 and are now using them. everyone made these certificates, because it used to be fashionable for disabled people to retire from any military service, to receive some kind of one-time compensation and a pension supplement, everyone did it, well, 90%, check these certificates, they will do it for them. there, go through the commission again, believe me, you collect another 100,000, and these are

at least people who have something to do with weapons or uniforms there, all of them others should understand that it affects everyone, but the state should create conditions so that engineers go to some defense enterprises, so that computer scientists go to the it army, and not storm landings, so that people by profession are engaged in war where they will be useful, and not everyone just sat down. you understand what i'm talking about, this is the approach , we don't like what's happening now, we really don't like it, it's really causing some rejection, we have very limited time with you, unfortunately, it would be interesting to talk about other topics as well, but we have to let you go denys yaroslavskyi, the commander of the ukrainian armed forces unit, was in touch with us, now we have to take a short break, a few minutes and continue our discussion, so please wait. tingling and crawling sensations arise spontaneously and disturb you.

0800, 210, 106. on kupyansk, the situation is difficult in the leman and bakhmut directions. the enemy wants to capture chasiv yard and senkivka. this was announced by the commander of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi. i quote colonel general. the bakhmut direction remains extremely important for the russian invaders. they focus their main efforts on it. and for conducting assault operations, the most combat-capable units of the landing forces, the marines and the storm z and storm units formed from former criminals are used. you according to sirsky, the enemy's goal is this the direction is clear. this is an attack on the settlement of chasiv yar, then on kostyantynivka druzhkivka slavyansk-kramatorsk, with further access to the borders of the donetsk region. i quote sirsky. in the lyman area, the russian occupying forces moved to constant attacks on the positions of our troops in the directions of makiivka and terni. combat operations are underway in the seversky

direction. occupiers actively use equipment during assaults. such is the news from syrskyi. well, in the meantime, we move on to the discussion of topics that are now refer to ukraine very briefly, but i mean the situation that is currently happening in serbia, it is also restless there, and in principle, all these geopolitical swings, i would call them that, they clearly do not contribute to any kind of global stability and peace, so that , what is happening there, this is also one of the points that must be taken into account when planning, let's say, the geopolitical picture. nataliya ishchenko, head of the balkan observer project, is in touch with us , and she will tell us what is happening there now, so ms. natalya, you word, please share with us, in general , what is the situation happening there now, what made people go out on the streets, in a word , tell me, good afternoon, well, i will start by

saying that i do not agree that what is happening in serbia does not concern ukraine , the only detail is that the new parliament of serbia will have a person from the party allegedly founded by viktor medvedchuk, that is, medvedchuk is no longer in ukraine, but he is now present in serbian politics, and this suggests that russia will directly intensify its hybrid attack on the balkan region and primarily in serbia. now, what is happening today, and yesterday happened in view of the election results. it must be said that the serbian opposition lost at the national level to the ruling party, with a result that, you know, cannot be doubted. in the vlada party,

the serbian progressive party and the block called alexander v'. serbia should not stop, they have about 46%. in the opposition, which called itself serbia against violence, only 23%. and therefore nationwide, the results of the elections are not subject to dispute, with the exception of the fact that took place in belgrade during the voting in the capital of serbia. so here in belgrade. there were massive violations in the sense that the authorities transported voters to neighboring bosnia and herzegovina, yes, they have serbian passports, yes, they have the right to vote. in the elections to the parliament of serbia, but these are the residents of bosnia and herzegovina, who were allegedly urgently

registered in belgrade, and they voted in the serbian capital, including in local elections. this was talked about during the voting day, and then the opposition provided evidence of these machinations of the government, but that's not it less the republican electoral commission , which approved the preliminary results of the elections last night, said that there were no violations, president vučić also said that according to the laws everything is happening legitimately, legitimately and in the legal field, and besides everything else, these people from bosnia were not very many , nevertheless, the opposition came out for a protest, but it was... very small in number, well, after all, we are talking about several hundred people, maybe, maybe more than a thousand, but this is not the number that

can change the political picture, political agenda in serbia. ms. natalia , look, i would also like to ask you about serbia's influence on certain decisions of the european commission . serbia, but in any case, we have already followed the example of progressive hungarian democracy blooming in the pews, and viktor orban is doing everything he can, on his part, taking into account certain geopolitical sympathies between serbia and russia, that are possible in serbia, belgrade has the tools to screw things up if something happens. our european integration path , you know, here is a slightly different configuration, the fact is that the main lobbyist for serbia in

the european union is viktor orban's hungary, it is orban who is actively promoting serbia to the eu, and is literally a friend of oleksandr vučić, and it is orban who believes that immediately serbia... should be admitted to the european union, despite the fact that serbia completely ignores the demands of the eu regarding the need to introduce sanctions against russia in connection with the russian aggression against ukraine. and precisely this configuration means that serbia, as long as it is outside the eu, will not have much influence by itself on the decisions of the european union, so... and like hungary, it is obvious that it will try to speculate on serbian issues all the time to remind

european officials that our serbia is practically ready for european integration, let us accept it, and it must be said that this is the hungarian position, it finds its understanding in brussels enough. to say that despite all such absolutely destructive actions of serbia, there is a refusal to join any sanctions in any way, serbia has not suffered any oppression, only words tell it that sanctions should be imposed, there are no more decisions of the european union in relation to serbia, serbia continues to ignore and ... receiving full support from an eu member like hungary. look, i have a question for you, in general,

if we talk about this protest that took place in bolgrad, in general, what are the specific demands of the protesters, and how do you do you think these protests can turn into something bigger? we remember the experience of ukraine, which has survived several revolutions and the maidan of independence. we know the experience of the belarusians, where it was suppressed. brutally lukashenko protests, what fate can await the serbs in this case, what do you think? you know, i want to remind everyone who doesn't know that the authors of the so-called color revolution are the serbs, who in 2000 with the help of a bulldozer revolution overthrew their dictator slobodan milosevic, so the serbs, so to speak, are the authors. this phenomena, they know exactly what will happen next and how events will develop further, so i can say that

there is no forecast that... protests will spread, and it was visible yesterday, when i say, for the protest several hundred people turned out , and you understand that the opposition, which calls itself serbia against violence, and it is very difficult to expect that it will demand a very strict review of the election results from the authorities, so for now there are no predictions about any mass actions. protest in serbia no, the only thing is that general instability , instability is still increasing in the country, and this will probably force the authorities to take into account the oppositional mood, especially since among the protesters there were mainly young people, which means that vučić is losing authority among the new generation of serbs . yes, mrs. natalya, i completely agree with you,

i agree, teaching really loses the certain. authority, but will hold power, and we understand how he may not play too well if he cooperates with the same viktor orbán, but if we are talking about balkans, in general, i wanted to ask you so, you know, synthetically, whether we are using all the countries from the balkan peninsula in the proper way and at the proper level, forgive me for the so-called geopolitical cynicism, but we understand that we have to use all opportunities, here we are now survived the bulgarian case is extremely difficult, but it does not seem to be going positively, in particular it is about weapons, armored personnel carriers and so on. well, and in general, that we may not be able to catch up with which balkan states? you know, you can say that after all after all, ukraine has been conducting balkan policy very effectively in recent years. it can be said that even montenegro, in the conditions of a partially pro-russian government, still helped ukraine, and...

it still adheres to all sanctions against russia, yes, it is a member of nato, but hungary, again, is also a member nato, and you know what problems we have in hungary, yes, and as for serbia, it seems to me that here, on the contrary, ukraine is somewhat too optimistic about this country, and all the time our embassy just shows some... simply indescribable optimism regarding the development of relations with this country, even announcing the opening, literally signing a free trade agreement, this optimism in fact, it fuels, it fuels serbian politics, which does not want to support ukraine, so belgrade is supposedly for peace, but there are pro-ukrainian sentiments

there there is none, and when in... ukraine does not criticize it, on the contrary, it demonstrates that it is so good, unfortunately, we do not see progress in support from belgrade. this is such a delicate moment. thank you thank you, nataliya ishchenko, head of the balkan project columnist, was in touch with us. we have a few seconds now, we can announce more important news, from the front, in particular, yes, and here, for example, there is another statement. the russian dictator putin, who declared that he would continue the attack on ukraine, he and the minister of defense of the russian federation shoigu stated this during a speech at the collegium of the ministry of defense of the russian federation, which once again confirms everything that was said in the previous hour about russia's intentions not to leave attempts an important signal from the commander of syrsky, the commander of the ground forces, therefore on in the liman direction, the russian occupiers have moved to constant attacks on the positions of our troops in the directions of makiivka and terni

, combat operations are underway. in the northern direction. according to sirskyi, the daily assault actions of russian troops in the senkivka area with the aim of capturing it and creating a bridgehead for the further offensive on the city of kupyansk do not stop. well, more news will be told by anna yevomelnyk, to whom we are ready to give the floor, so tell us what will be in this issue. greetings colleagues, the news team will continue to work, we will tell you about the most important things, in particular about the situation in the regions, about the situation on the polish-ukrainian border. more on that later, stay with us. russian artillery shelled the village of kupyansk-vuzlovy in kharkiv region, a 55-year-old woman was injured and the regional military administration reported the damage.
