turn ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the chronicles of information war project with olga len. monday, tuesday, thursday at 17:15 on espresso tv channel.

greetings, i am olga len, these are chronicles of the hostilities, and first of all i would like to remind you that our fundraiser is ongoing, this is the espress tv channel of the people and right foundation, you and i, our viewers, are collecting funds for powerful portable velstram battery stations with solar panels for 108 dnipropetrovsk of a separate brigade of territorial defense forces of the ukrainian armed forces to effectively destroy the enemy and military equipment. necessary charge systematically. the stations will be able to replace generators and provide soldiers with energy even in field conditions. our goal is uah 1,220,000. the account already has almost uah 920,000. that is, we are progressing quite

well, but we still need to join in, so please help us, without you we will not be able to cope here, but with your help, i hope we will. let's finish this collection and get stations for our fighters, so look, all the requisites are there, join in, well, actually, let's first of all see how the situation at the front was changing these days, let's look at the map of hostilities, and then we will talk with our experts, the map of hostilities for the period of december 13-20, 2023, the second week of the global offensive of the armed forces of the russian federation - a threat to the coal miner. december will probably be the bloodiest month in this war, because the armed forces of ukraine eliminate almost a thousand rashists every day. by the way, data on the number of losses of the occupiers since the beginning of the war were confirmed by british intelligence, which counted only 17,000

russians killed less than the ukrainian general staff the battle for bakhmut during the yar period. the occupiers focused on the bakhmut direction. military, which is even more than last winter, when they began their attack on the city. the main task for today is to take the villages of ivanivske and bohdanivka and reach the outskirts of chasovoy yar, where a multi-level system of our defense has been built. along the entire front from bohdanivka to ivanivskyi, they broke through in various places for 300-500 m, in particular, they completely occupied the village of khromov. the russians launched an attack on ivanovo from the north and from the south of the bahmud-era road. at the same time they trying to return part of the dominant heights to the north of klishchiivka, where fierce battles are currently ongoing. in this part of the front, the enemy is also breaking through the forest road that leads from klishchiivka to ivanovsk and thus cuts off part of the logistics routes. however , unlike the company at the beginning of the year, now the armed forces have a larger arsenal to repel

meat assaults, and therefore the advance of the rashists is very slow and is unlikely to threaten a rapid breakthrough of the front. avdiiv meat grinder. bleeds the armed forces of the russian federation. the battle for avdiivka is already on became the bloodiest during this war, although its end is not yet in sight. in two months, the russians lost 13'. soldiers and more than 210 units of armored vehicles, and this is not counting half of december, the armed forces of ukraine lose 10 times less equipment and seven to eight times less people. breaking through the front, the occupiers took two positions west of promka, however, realizing the futility of attacking the fortified area, they continued their attempts to bypass the city from the north and south in order to cut off logistics. in the northern direction columns of storm surges daily. the village of stepove, where in recent days they managed to advance 100 m deep. in addition, to the north of the village

, the russians expanded the zone behind the railway track to the south of the village and in the koksohimo area, the situation remained stable. however , the russians achieved the biggest breakthrough in the southern direction, where additional reserves were introduced. here they took up positions to the north, from the experimental area they moved through the plantation to the north, and also expanded the zone of their influence to the west and north in the direction of the pervo. maisk and thin, the ends of the ticks in which the occupiers want to take avdiivka, they have narrowed to 8 km from 700 m of the airspace, instead , the second and third lines of defense are being built in this area, so the battle for avdiivka may continue for many more months, if the russians do not finish here. the loss of maryinka and the threat to the coal miner, before the start of this large-scale offensive on the entire front of donetsk, the zso controlled almost 10% of maryinka, but after two weeks. we have almost completely lost the battles, this city is completely destroyed. because of this, it became more

convenient for the enemy to attack south of marinka in in the direction of the villages of pobida and novomykhaivka. over the course of a week, the occupiers came close to the southern outskirts of novomykhaivka, and also make constant attempts to break into the village from the north. currently, this section of the front is the most dynamic and needs urgent stabilization. as before, the rashists intend to completely eliminate the ughledar bridgehead of the armed forces of ukraine, and therefore not in... in the long run, we can expect new massive attacks on this city, which has already become a symbol of a burned russian tank. the offensive on kupyansk. the russians do not stop trying to break through to kupyansk. for they moved this to the lyman ii region. two engineering divisions are likely to cross the oskil. near lehman the first , they regularly form columns to storm the village of senkivka, but most of the russian equipment is destroyed by ukrainian drones and artillery. however, this week the invaders. were able to break through the forest for 300 m towards the northern outskirts of the village. constant

counterattacks continue near pervomaiska yagidny, but without territorial changes. it was possible to stabilize the front in the kremin direction. the russians did not take a single meter in a week our land the left bank of the kherson region does not give rest to putin. the events surrounding the village of krynky became so precocious for putin that he dedicated a separate lying speech to it during his press conference. no less manipulative... an article appeared in the new york times, which pointed out the inexpediency of the presence of the armed forces of ukraine on the left bank of the kherson region, and also narrowed our bridgehead exclusively to the krynks, although it is well known about the combat operations near oleshok, poima, and podstepny. in addition , the russians point to an increase in the ukrainian presence on velikiy island potemkinsky, which is near the bare pier. at the moment, on the left bank, the enemy contingent of 65,000 rashists cannot cope with barely a thousand of our heroes, who, of course , are well covered. artillery and drones from the right bank. due to the fact that the armed forces were able to achieve superiority in drones and artillery, the losses of the enemy

are quite significant. for example, magyar's drones alone destroyed 153 pieces of equipment and damaged another 450 in a few months. the other day, the occupiers decided to strike the flanks of the forest near the krinki, where we are defending. however, ukrainian drones struck first on the accumulation of armored vehicles, and then the military finished off a small number of infantry that tried to break through. to the krinks russian blows with shaheds and daggers. the russians began the winter shelling season in earnest. the alarm sounded almost every night throughout the country. in a week , 116 shaheds, three daggers and a cruise missile flew to us. ukrainian air defense shot down almost 85% of the drones, a cruise missile and one dagger, the other two landed near the military base in starokostyantinov. this is the place where the enemy concentrates most of his blows, thinking that once our aviation. kyiv became the second place where the rashists hit most often, in addition, they directed their

bepelea shocks to odesa, mykolaiv oblast and dnipropetrovsk oblast. drones of the armed forces of ukraine hit russia and the occupied territories in donetsk, twice flew into the oil depot in mariupol, missiles hit the warehouse of armored vehicles and the location of air defense in luhansk. it was loud, but no details for now. in the same way, the occupiers hide the consequences of the attacks on dzhanka, simferopol, sevastopol and genichesk. claiming that they... shot down all the drones, however, local publics indicate otherwise. in addition, our drones sowed cotton in the volgograd, lipetsk, bryansk and kursk regions, as well as in taganrog. air defense of the russian armed forces. federation allegedly shot down 35 drones, the special operation of the ukrainian security forces, which directed 17 drones at the morozovsk airfield near rostov, was particularly successful. as a result , 10 su-34 aircraft were damaged at the base of the 559th bomber aviation regiment, and two more were completely destroyed. a good sign is the resumption of russian freedom legion raids on the territory

arefi, although our allies seemed to oppose such actions earlier. svobodov fighters fought in the area of ​​the village. terebren, that in the belgorod region and quite successfully, we win daily, death to the enemies. well, this is the dynamics of hostilities, and we will talk with defense express military expert ivan kyrychevsky about the details of what we actually saw. greetings, ivan. good day. let's probably start from the end, that is , to increase the actual attempts to attack. uh, infrastructure objects, shahedis, rockets, and well, the holidays are coming, you know, and we're expecting what we had last year, when there were just such, you know, very powerful attacks from the enemy, what do you think we should expect, is that going to compare to the strikes that we had last

year , that is, what would you consider necessary to say in connection with this, well... in this situation it is difficult to predict, well, to get into the heads of the russians and think, what can they come up with insidious, because the maximum of creativity, which they are now demonstrating, it is frightening, that we have something like that jet geraniums will appear , so what are they saying? well, shahed’s modification is essentially a subsonic cruise missile that will apparently not be shot down, although in fact it will be shot down, to invent instead of them that it is they, for example, who will land a dozen daggers on kiev or try to come to blows calibers, well... there is no need to prompt, let them invent something themselves, on the other hand, well, let's still record that in fact, in the middle of december , the russians already released at least three hundred shaheds, and they are clearly aiming for an anti-record, so it is quite logical to assume as a minimum, the russians will increase their foot attacks, since they already had such a thing in common that in our country, a sensitive date was the anniversary

of the holodomor, and there they sent up to a hundred shaheds to the capital, because we can recall... that in the evening of that day, the general staff talked about 87 flying mopeds that were successfully shot down, well, the minimum that should definitely be prepared for is that the russians will try to mass shahed attacks, history and the threat of ballistics have also not gone anywhere, so you know, taking into account but you know, even taking into account such a worldview moment that probably for the first time in our history, we are switching to such a western calendar of celebrations, that is... that we are showing our will at a break with the roughly speaking moscow world, we are celebrating christmas together with the civilized one, well, maybe we should not even make any plans of our own there these holidays, taking into account any missile or russian threats, or just the opposite, well, let's say we do everything so that everything depends on us in each place so that even if the russians resort to some

trick that you and i cannot think of right now we can, well, so that it affects minimally, because of course even... if it will be up to a hundred martyrs, then everything will be somehow so our morale will fluctuate, but it is in our power to make it so that the russians, at least achieve a psychological effect there, well, at least a little bit of the minimum, as much as we could. ugh. well, there is another such story: on december 18, brigadier general-commander of the operational-strategic group tavria, this is avdiyivka, by the way, as far as i understand, oleksandr tarnavskyi, in an interview for reuters, said that there is a problem with ammunition. especially this calibers 122 mm, 152, soviet calibers, this problem is all over the front line, and the volumes that we have today are not enough for our needs, so we are redistributing, rescheduling tasks, and even he said that in some areas we have gone in defense, on some of them

, we continue offensive actions, but all the same , we lack this, well, the very lack of these shells. well , this is not news, obviously these are soviet calibers, there is a real problem with them, but here the question is a little different, what to do with this problem, because it is obvious that ternavskyi's words are directed were rather to our partners, but can the partners also help in something here, that's what the question is, well, here, in fact, the situation is at two ends, because, well, on the one hand , the main production capacities. shells of soviet calibers, they are concentrated in a very limited number of eastern europe, bulgaria seems to know how to do something, romania and poland there. serbia supplies something from time to time, but... there the question of opening, accordingly, roughly speaking, even, well, at the facilities of the american military-industrial complex, soviet projectiles can be made they don’t know how, well, because there is a completely different technology there, accordingly, even if

there is a question that the congress should solve the issue with help, then even if we have money, we need to physically find the stars, and there the obvious problem is that, well, why should we there was a shortage of soviet munitions, well, because they had to be physically produced, so on the one hand it was somehow like this... it is interesting that ternavskyi's statement and the subsequent statement of one of the deputy ministers of defense that, to compensate for the lack of shells, we will mass production of kambikadze drones , well, but on the other hand, to solve this problem in the future, that is, how to make sure that we do not have such sharp distache of soviet-caliber projectiles, this is already an obvious task that will have to be solved in our domestic military-industrial complex, well, purely because it is, let's say, only we have such a unique problem, that there is such... respect for nato artillery systems and the soviet standard of the warsaw pact, roughly speaking, by consumers of soviet ammunition in large calibers,

now there are only us, everyone who can, they are switching to 155 mm caliber artillery, so here literally, well, what could be the need for these shells, because of course, in general, there are millions and millions of shells called there, but well... maybe there are some more, you know, limited numbers that you can hear, that would be realistic , that the main thing is that we could either provide ourselves, or at least we could somehow redistribute with our nearest neighbors, and here the nuance is, which is precisely the case with artillery shells, it is not possible there to converge, relatively speaking, in the middle, that there is a maximum need of 17 million shells, well , let's converge on five, well, purely, if we proceed from the standards that are there for... left over from the soviet union, which is for the destruction of one platoon base point you need up to 200 152 mm shells, well, you can understand why our military got

the figure of 17 million, which is minimal, in fact, because the western press likes to compare our current war with the first world war, but it omits an important detail . the first world war, for example, was very crazy intensive use of artillery, the german army surrenders there during one of the offensives. used 3 million shells in a few hours and this ensured, let's say, the suddenness and success of the breakthrough, accordingly , our military would not have given up, if so they would have given 3 million shells for some kind of breakthrough operation, well at least, for example, well if there were only shells for a counteroffensive in the south, so it is unlikely that there can be any number here, what happened there, well, this is enough, this will always hang over us the story that we need shells at least... millions of them, they have to be obtained somewhere, they have to be made somewhere, well, roughly speaking, but i don't even know, probably already, even already at the stage of the post-war recovery

of the armed forces of ukraine, all things being equal , the question will remain that we don't have enough shells according to our regulatory needs. well, but is it possible to completely replace these soviet-style projectiles with nato-style weapons, for today, well, let's say this, eh, the intelligence of estonia believes that we have up to 200 artillery systems, well, this is the intelligence of estonia believes, i don’t know where they got it from, but even if we proceed from such figures, well, in the best case, we have, well, even less than a third of it is the nato artillery system, well, of course, there are separate projects when it is possible to take a carriage from a soviet gun and rework it under the table 15-millimeter cannon, there, for example, the serbs, m30 doves are converted to 155. in the indians, they also do this, in theory, even the russians had a project to convert msts in caliber 152 mm to 155, and we have a certain number, as far as i know i remember,

there were trophy guns, but there is a lot of potential there limited, we have just that and the problem is that, on the one hand, how many 155 mm caliber artillery pieces are needed, no one in the world has them, even in china there are a maximum of 600 of them, and on the other hand, we cannot replace soviet-style artillery systems with anything , that's why we have and... in the military, for example, territorial defense can have new drones, in general, the d-44 gun of the 1950s. sure, and one last thing, you have a few minutes left there, tell me about this particular offensive that the russians launched novomykhaivka has now been settled, well , that’s the common opinion, and when we presented the map, it was said that it was a threat first of all in... ugledar, but somehow they didn’t reveal this topic, because where novomykhaivka is far enough to the east, ugledar is further south, what specifically there is a threat, why do we

say that ... the russian offensive near novomykhai is an attempt to do something with the coal miner, why do we say that, what is the point? well, to be honest, i think that to begin with, the russians’ attempts to attack the mykhailivka tower, is to try to take our marinka defenders are in a pinch, well, because there is clearly the pace at which the russian army is advancing now, well, there is clearly no question of whether they are there, whether the russians have the ability to break through our defenses near novomykhaivka and so rapidly... to go there to the well or to kostantinovka or there to ugledar, here i think, in principle, that what concerns the general assessment of the situation on the front, you should pay attention to the following: on the one hand , the russians set themselves for this winter very such ambitious large-scale tasks, we are all summer discussed the prospect of, for example, fighting for kupyansk, taking kupyansk was important for them to be able to advance in the east,

they had a deadline of december 31 there. to occupy the entire donetsk region again, they did not succeed, we can trace, at the same time we can trace that now the russians, carrying out all these infantry assaults, began to use the so-called stormzet more actively, well, that is, we can say that something happened in our country, well more precisely, the russians had a reincarnation of the wagner pvk tool, that is as it is, not if you think in retrospect, it turns out that the wagner pmc allowed the rashists to somehow save the personnel army they had, to let it recover from the defeats of 2022, and accordingly prepare for the 2023 campaign, but judging by everything, the main problem at the front, which is happening now, is not even where the russians now have any prospects for advancement or not, but the fact that they, too, went to this game to use these stormtroopers, prisoners, in order to bind and to exhaust our troops, at the same time to cook their personnel. when we talk about the year 2024, we consider only one category, whether putin will announce

mobilization there, but we do not take into account that... putin in general intends to reformat the personnel troops that are there, to increase their combat capability. this is the main problem. roughly speaking, it is not that, well, how realistic it is that the russians will go to the coalface again in mykhailivka, it is that they are just trying to buy time in the same way, well, to improve the combat effectiveness of their personnel army, how much, of course, it will work out question open, but it is simply important here, looking at the tactical situation, well, first of all, to take into account the strategic problem that is brewing. ugh. thank you, this is ivan. military expert defense express. now we have to go to a commercial break and we will return after it with other guests and we will specifically talk about the lymanskyi direction, about avdiivka, maybe also. well, in short, we'll be back in a few minutes. see this week in the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova. doubtful fortunes, sham divorces and attempts to escape

qualification assessment. what is judge pavlo gorbasenko known for? my mother gave me two apartments and a car. but why did the supreme court of justice not remove the judge from administering justice. on thursday, december 21, at 5:45 p.m., watch the judicial control program with tatyana shustrova on the espresso tv channel. there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia millions of petrodollars. is trying to turn ukrainians into little russians. let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the chronicles of information war project with olga ley. in monday, tuesday, thursday at 17:15 on the espresso tv channel. volunteer christmas at espresso. carols known from childhood and completely new author's carols performed by

sofya fedyna and the stories of people who devoted themselves to the defense of the country. as a volunteer, at first, that's how i traveled, helped the guys, got to know the guys, and that's how it all started. feel the christmas miracle, feel the power of the unity of caring people. volunteer christmas, december 24 at 6:15 p.m. at espresso. 93 separate mechanized brigade kholotny yar has a sharp the need for aftiv drones. to effectively hit the enemy and increase the losses of living and non-living forces of the occupier. to get closer to the victory that all of ukraine is waiting for. glory to ukraine. glory be to the heroes. so, for the chronicles of the war, let's continue the conversation. andrii huk, captain of the medical service of the boreviy offensive guard brigade, joins us.

neurosurgeon, candidate of medical sciences, i congratulate you,
