greetings, i'm olga len, these are the chronicles of the war, and today we will sum up the results of 2023, look a little into the future and start, as always, from the map. results of the war in 2023, the war during 2023 was much bloodier. than the previous one. the russian occupation army lost more than 220,000 soldiers, only killed, destroyed its offensive potential, lost most of the battle and was forced to retreat in chornoy the sea occupant losses during 2023 , the armed forces of ukraine destroyed fewer tanks and infantry fighting vehicles than in 22 by 10% and 20%, respectively. the enemy has not only stopped moving in columns, but also does not have time to restore the previously lost armored fleet. at the same time, our soldiers eliminated almost twice as many invaders, bringing the total number to 350 thousand destroyed, at

least as many wounded russians. there are no official statistics on losses from..., however, representatives of the general staff have repeatedly stated that they are 5-7 times smaller than the enemy. this year, the defense forces opened a real safari on artillery and anti-aircraft defense, the rate of destruction of which tripled to 6 and 390 units, respectively. we also shot down 4,300 tactical drones, which is double the number of the previous year. these figures give a real picture of the nature of the fighting in the 23rd year, less armored vehicles, more is drones. projectiles frontline change and biggest battles 2023 there are two major changes to the frontline. the russians managed to occupy bahmud and the territory east of the city, i.e. almost 530 km. instead, the zso punched two large holes in the rashist defenses in the south front with a total area of ​​almost 270 km. and

another 43 km were repelled during the counteroffensive near bakhmut. russia lost the battle in luhansk region. throughout 2023 , the russians tried to launch a large-scale offensive in luhansk region in order to push back the zso across the oskil river from outside luhansk region, as well as to return the lost strategically important for the battle for donetsk region, the city of leman. battles took place along the entire hundred-kilometer front line, with the greatest emphasis on the direction of kupyansk borova and leman. each of these cities is located on distance of more than 10 km from front, however, the russians managed to advance 1.5 km in separate and very limited areas during the year. in addition, the zso counterattacked and returned part of the lost positions, as happened in the summer near the villages of novoyehorivka and nadiya, and is also now happening regularly near the may day and berry festival. a significant event in the luhansk region was the return to the front of the azov brigade, which

took up positions in the serebryansk forest in the kreminsk direction. the historical battle for bahmud. the complete occupation of donetsk remains russia's priority goal. from the attack on bahmud started a new stage of implementation of this plan. the battle began in august 22nd and continues to this day, but the most dramatic events took place in january, may 2023. first, we lost several villages near soledar, and two weeks later, soledar itself, which became a threat not only to bakhmut, but also to our bridgehead near siversk. however, the zso managed to eliminate the threat of a russian offensive north of bakhmut, street fighting. the enemy led the path of total destruction of urban buildings, except for solodar and bakhmut, the rashists occupied in the winter 24 more villages. as part of the summer counteroffensive campaign, the ukrainian armed forces returned klishchivka and andrivka to the south of bakhmut, and also came close to yagidny taberhivka north of the city. however, during the new massive offensive launched in december, the occupiers

managed to push our heroes back to the outskirts of bohdanivka and ivanivskyi. a large-scale offensive. throughout the front of donetsk region and the battle for ugledar, the ugledar bridgehead is very troubling to the russians because it threatens the operation of the mariupol, volnovakha, donetsk railway. at the beginning of the 23rd, the rashists went to the second a powerful assault on the city and were able to approach it at a distance of 2 km, however, on the way from the ssu in three weeks, half of their armored vehicles, more than 200 units, were destroyed. from then on , the russians made no serious attempt to attack holedar again until they launched a full-scale offensive in december. front in the entire donetsk region. as a result of this offensive, they managed to complete the occupation of maryinka, as well as come close to the vicinity of tsil pobida and novomykhaivka, where the deepest breakthrough of the front since the battle of bakhmut took place, about 5 km. if these trends continue, the enemy, next will become a coal farmer again. battle for avdiivka.

in just two months, the russians lost 1,300 soldiers and more than 210 units of armored vehicles. with. enemies make their way hundreds of meters a week to the village of stepove. the invaders have been storming for almost 80 days and have only reached the middle of it. their advance on the foothills near novokalynovy novobakhmutivka, which is north of the city and near severnoy and pervomaiskyi in the south, are even more modest, although the invaders have less than 10 km left to cut off the logistics to the semi-surrounding avdiivka, but the zsu is building a second and the third line of defense. also, with such rates , the rushers can break. and lose their offensive potential in 1-2 months. the year 2023 began with the battle for bakhmut and ends with the battle for avdiivka. both will go down in history as the bloodiest, but for this... sha zso managed to increase their firepower, if in january-february they destroyed an average of 740 russians during the day, then in november-december 950. instead , russia, which at the beginning of the war could advance

all over front, now has potential only in separate sections of a few kilometers. the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine on the southern front began on june 4-6 at the same time in the meritopol, tokmak, and berdyansk directions. in the first months of the offensive, overcoming minefields and defense lines on... the military managed to capture three bridgeheads, the largest in the velikay novosilka area, where they advanced more than 10 km deep and 25 km wide and liberated seven villages. in the tokmat direction, the defense forces liberated 100 km around the village of robotyne in melitopolsky, managed to penetrate 2.5 km deep and liberated three villages. then the offensive slowed down and ultimately did not execute initial goals to reach the sea of ​​azov. however, he prepared a good basis for the counter. offensive in 2024, in particular, it was possible to save the prepared skeleton of new brigades, as well as more than 80% of armored vehicles. on the left bank

of the kherson region, the armed forces of ukraine managed to gain a foothold, at least on two bridgeheads near the antoniv bridge and the village of krynki. other promising sites near the bare pier and oleshok are also being broken up. a thousand of our heroes keep the enemy's 65,000-strong army at bay. ukrainian victories in the air and on black. strength in 2023 defenses constantly increased their range. our drones began to fly to moscow, and not only did more than 20 strikes, they probably damaged more russian planes on the airfields than in the air. in addition, ukraine won this round of the battle of the black sea, not only forcing the russian ships to retreat from sevastopol to novorossiysk, but also regaining control of the so-called boyka towers. this made it possible to control part of the water area to such an extent that gur made two raids. on the western coast of crimea. missile strikes on the docks in sevastopol, the destruction of the submarine and repair docks in kirch, just completed the defeat of the black sea fleet of the russian federation.

the crimean bridge is waiting for its turn in 2024. my guest is viktor kyvylyuk, a military expert of the center for defense strategies, a reserve colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, and we actually met at the end of the 22nd year. there were several interesting insights from him, now let's talk about it, congratulations, mr. viktor, good afternoon, ms. ulgo, well, you said then that the russians would carry out some kind of local, limited offensive operation, and this was actually near bakhmut, we saw it, then you told us that the forces were concentrating in the valuyok area, from there they had to advance somewhere and they really did. on the crimea , they were advancing on the liman, well, that is , we saw all this, you and i did not talk much about the south then, but you mentioned that

very serious fortifications were being built in the south, so we also attribute this to the fact that, in principle, we it was somehow seen at that time, so even now they expect something so interesting from you, well, but first let's talk about, well, somehow so concentrated about why actually not in... to carry out a large-scale counteroffensive, because there is a lot of talk around this, there are some who say that it was necessary somewhere only in one place, but the efforts were scattered, or it was necessary somehow differently, what do you say, well, that is, what was necessary whether it was necessary, whether it is necessary or not, there is no need to hesitate here, the answer is on the surface, not only is it necessary, but we are also obliged, because it is ukrainian. land and to return the land seized by the enemy is the duty of all those who have now joined the defense forces. i also want to note that it is wrong

to call the events in the azov direction a counteroffensive, or is it a classic offensive operation, absolutely textbook, right here according to all the canons of military science. why it did not work, there are many opinions on this matter , in my opinion, the main reason was that it was not necessary to make three main blows on three, it was necessary to choose one and concentrate all available efforts there, the second point, the help that should have been provided. by our partners arrived late, unconcentrated, somewhat not in the volumes that were expected, and precisely... the main thing,

unfortunately, the issue of the supply of aircraft was not resolved, but to carry out a large-scale an operation on, especially on three directions at the same time, it is quite difficult in the absence of not only dominance in the air, but at least in the conditions of the existing advantage, so it seems that these three factors played a decisive role, well, here we are. many read that there were disputes between the american and ukrainian military regarding the defense of bakhmut, and our command was reproached for using shells in this area and exhausting some units that could participate in the offensive in the south. in your opinion, was it worth defending bakhmut? not worth it to talk about disputes, there are no foreign advisers or consultants in the headquarters of the armed forces

to argue with. our partners are the same spectators in the stands, as is the entire expert environment that is outside the defense forces today, these are the assessments of outside observers who are not familiar with our military plans, and let's put it this way , they see what they see, they are on they look at it through the prism of their experience, their military science, their knowledge and, accordingly , have, well, a difference from our point of view, that concerns whether it is worth or not to defend bagna, as soon as we started to advance and quite successfully wedged ourselves into the enemy's first line of defense in the zaporizhzhia region, the enemy immediately made efforts and became more active in the bakhmut area, with the aim of drawing our reserves there, making the intensity drop fire support in the zaporozhye direction.

due to the need to support resource defense in the bakhmut area, and in principle, this is an absolutely expected adequate action of the enemy, which compensates with its activity in one direction operational and tactical problems that began on another, it is logical, whether it is worth defending bakhmut or not, from a political point of view, the maintenance of any settlement has... importance, because this is our ukrainian land, and we have to defend it, with from a military point of view, if you are going to defend a settlement, you must prepare it for defense. those who were in bakhmut, those who are in bakhmut now, do not tell about the presence of any defensive structures there, any lines, positions were prepared, the city

was not prepared for defense. it is purely tactical local cells of resistance, which were organized at the level of battalions of brigades, and not at the level of operational groupings. personally, in my opinion, let's put it this way, it was worth immediately withdrawing to the lines advantageous for defense, giving the territory to the enemy, but preserving, first of all, human territory. no allies will give us infantry and, accordingly, keep a huge amount of the same ammunition with the production of which the world defense industry is still unable to cope with. i am personally inclined to the fact that it was worth retreating. well, but it would, for example, not work anywhere offensive, the same wagner infantry, which would not have stopped after

they captured bakhma. yes, i think we would try to go further.
