that now there is no such thing, you know, gradually, that they attack there first, there, now there is an impression that the russians are trying to attack at once in several places and somehow more or less so synchronously, it is connected with the weather, it is connected with the fact that what are these now, well, such will be the tactics of the russians, such a course of action, how do you evaluate any forecasts regarding this, how can we expect any offensive attempts there. yes, russians, yes, look, i am sure that the russians, well, we have already talked about this before, well, it is necessary to note once again, the russians have intentions, they need to achieve military results, and the faster, the more effective it will be for them in the form of some kind of incentives, ranks, stars, in addition, they are under great pressure from the political power of the kremlin, there is also pressure, because the more the boss will be pleased. here is the dictator putin, the better

it will be for them, that is, they are all interested, and my so-so, my so-so assessment, i think that somewhere in the middle of march, the end of march, they will continue to press in different directions, somewhere stronger, somewhere less, then to maneuver, i.e., they are looking for places , they are pushing, and for them, avdiivka is doing well, because for several months she has been more than, okay , semi-surrounded, let's say semi-surrounded, and it seems, well, what is there already, well, they pushed a little, pushed , let's make the result already, that is, this is the result that you can feel it, but it is not in your hands. ugh. yes, we are told that it is time to broadcast the statements of the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba, who is in the ukrainian house in davos, this is actually on the sidelines of the world economic forum in davos, so if there is already something there, we will probably switch. tell me please. what

achievements i want to say that this is a great opportunity for him to address a global audience, a business audience, and i think he succeeded, he always succeeds, i want to say, of course, you have to make a final assessment of his speech, his messages that he tried to convey, but i thought it was a very powerful speech. he had bilateral meetings with representatives of countries in africa, asia, they tried to dispel certain arguments that ukraine is only a member of the western community, and concrete agreements were reached, in particular with the president of the european commission, regarding the screening of ukrainian legislation as part of another step on the way. before joining the eu,

i want to say that our president was in a good mood, this is good for everyone, i think, for career stability as well, well no, not only from this, it depends, at the beginning of the war you had meetings with serhii lavrov, in which you wanted him to say what russia wanted from the war, and they said that their... interests have not changed, but please tell me, in your opinion, what russia is now looking for and wants from the war? i think that russia now wants to increase its aggressive intentions, they believe that they will succeed, and they believe that they will destroy ukraine, they believe that they will be able, again, to bring ukraine back under their sphere of influence, i am sure. what i

know about russia and also about their mindset is that they will not stop at ukraine and so yes they have specific goals and even two days ago, putin said that he is not, they will not stop at what they have achieved, accordingly, he is belligerent, he has already made his choice, i think, yes, he has decided that he wants the rest of his life.. .just to fight, and so i don't know if there's a word like dispel his illusions, dispel his ambitions, but i think we can do that, because he can't fight forever. there are a lot of reports in the western media about various divisions within the ukrainian government, within ukraine, between the ukrainian parliament and military, regarding specific goals. war,

please tell us what your strengths are and, in the end, whether there really is such a division within ukraine. so, first, let me introduce. the parallel somehow so associatively i want now with football on the football theme of american football american basketball, as long as the team plays well on the field and the players help each other and they score the right points, what happens outside the field should not concern anyone, it is a completely different story. and i believe that this is exactly what is happening in us in ukraine. president zelenskyi has built a powerful team that plays in favor of the interests of ukraine and wins in favor of ukraine, and in general we speak in favor of global security, but we must not forget

that ukraine is a democracy, and democracy means that people have the right to vote. and democracy implies the right to... debate, the right to opinion, to express an opinion, and therefore, if someone is looking for some contradictions in the ukrainian parliament or in ukraine in general, they should not forget that we must always be flexible, we always we have react in our debates, we have to, we all know who our adversary is, and in any debate, we will always remain united in the defense of our country and in defeating the enemy, that is, we... now there is a lot of talk about the fact that there is some debate about aid to ukraine, and both parties in congress, the majority of congressmen, they support aid to ukraine, there is a certain minority that can kind of put sticks in the wheel.

please tell me if you are concerned about these contradictions within the us, and here you are coming back from davos with... what specific steps will be taken, and is it possible that there are certain signs in europe that would indicate a reduction in aid to ukraine, in your opinion, after the summit in devos. i look at it from a slightly different angle, i think that now is not the time to worry about anything, now is the time to solve problems, we are living. in real time , there will always be someone or something that wants to take you out, to provoke you, that wants you to react in a way that you cannot afford to do, and so we as a nation must practice self-control and instead ,

to worry about something, we have to prevent new problems from forming and also to solve the problems that are already there, so we are not worried, but that does not mean, i don't... i mean that we are not aware of the obstacles that we have to overcome and problems that we have to solve, but we have been told very many times during the years of our independence and especially during the last two years, we have often been told that you are not doing this, you are not like this, and this is the end, and again there are some sudden , but then we just kind of get used to it, adapt to it and that's it we abstract from it. that's why we always get what we want, sooner or later, and that's why our task is to make sure that what we want is... what? alohol

protects both the liver and the gallbladder, the natural components of alohol contribute to the normalization of the liver and gallbladder, alohol with care and respect for the liver and gallbladder. on january 22, at 7:30 p.m., the vinyl agency presents the lviv opera and raz chubai and the songs that the whole of ukraine sings along to. special guest concert - lviv men's academic choir chapel dudaryk. karabask tickets. live sound. oh, and got wet. would you like some tea? mom, dad, what should i do to avoid getting sick? vitamin c, d3, zinc and, most importantly, quercitin to strengthen blood vessels. all in one package, four components together in one capsule, so simple, one capsule a day, so convenient, quertin immuno, there are discounts on aquamaris, 15% in pharmacies, plantain, pam and savings. everyday life

leonid polyakov joined us, this is a senior a lieutenant of the zsu, an officer of the legion of freedom, freedom, currently from the kupyansk-lemansk direction, he joined us, congratulations, gentlemen, once again, congratulations, congratulations, studio, congratulations to the company, well, that's why we will immediately start the conversation with what actually happens. in this kupyan-liman direction, because the enemy has become more active there, especially in the direction of siverskyi donets and the zherebets river, which flows into siverskyi donetsk, in several areas in this area, the enemy is trying to break through the front, it seems that, and such actions take place in the direction from plovshchanka on makiivka, where the russians are trying to get right to the zherebets river and the makiiv kanevske road, and there they even managed to advance in the western direction. a bit of a wedge, well, the enemy actually attacks there along the entire arc, makiivka, nevske, terne, yampolivka,

in addition, south of dibrova on zarichne, in serebryansk forestry, even further south in the region of belogorivka, there is also activity there, mr. leonid, we need you then tell me how exactly where you are, what are the features of this activity of the russians, what can it do... differs from what was, and actually, what is the reason for this activity, maybe you can say, i will say for the part of the front where i am, it is exactly the direction of senkivka, it is here that the enemy has constituted a rather serious shock fist, which is, first of all , amphibious assault. hell of the moscow army, it is also the 138th motorized rifle brigade and the ninth separate

artillery brigade of the moscow army, and there are also a large number of units used here, that's about it. more or less prepared units, such as landing forces amphibious units, as well as units of motorized infantry brigades, they are used for flanking attacks, and they try to advance in this way to the route that leads from tsinkivka to kupinsk, the junction, according to kupinsk, here the fact is that we were captured precisely from of the same... the commander, also some prisoners from other units, so by

the new year they had a task, if not to completely capture the entire kupinsky kupinsky node, because it is located there a rather serious transport hub , this is the railway, because it is for logistics that the moscow army uses the railway and... and they had such plans before the new year, but, as my brother spoke recently, from the avdiiv direction, and also from the freedom legion, then these plans failed in them by the new year, and now they will have the task of capturing kupinsk and avdiivka as much as possible, in preparation for the presidential elections in moscow, well... even i see all russian military experts there note that in

the area somehow they don't have much sense of senkivka it works out and somehow to advance there, something also seems to not work out, i understand that, mr. leonid, you are quite good there, you still beat them, well, because we are not sitting still either, our reserves were also tightened, the fact is that... forces were brought here from other directions, for example, the same 25th airborne brigade, it was brought from... the kherson direction, that is where krynyk is now, these settlements , because somehow they also need to renew their reserves, i.e. fresh more or less trained brigades, because precisely now the strategic goal for the near future, so to speak, is that they have thrown

their forces most of all on avdiivka and kupinsk, well, partly there on bakhmut, but on bakhmut now there are words... of my brothers again from the legion of freedom more or less for tysia, ugh, relatively, again. tell me, are they now using technology widely, or are they some kind of foot assaults in small groups, as it is now, what does it look like now? the fact is that the weather has been bad for the last week, it's cold there to -15-20, and now, once the weather started to be positive, of course , the advancement of technology is complicated and... as practice shows, again, this is the practice of the winter company on the same bakhmut, and the practice, again, of the same kherson region, which when it is not possible to advance with heavy equipment, they actively use infantry units, well

, as an example, it was wagner, and a zekyt from wagner, something similar is happening now. for storm z, because there, too, they consist of prisoners, well, the main part, so to speak, well and tell me, since it is expected to cool down there again, again to drop to minus 15°, it is obvious that we can expect some such activation in your area in connection with this, well, at least at the end of this week, at the beginning of next week. i guess you are also preparing for this somehow, more or less, well, when there were frosts, so to speak, they used tanks, so as for the artillery, the artillery of course works around the clock, yes, because well, the tactics are as follows, that is, the storm z units go in attack lobby, our servicemen their, their

attack, so after that. is coming, the so-called shaft of fire is coming, already from the flanks , more or less prepared units are trying to advance from the flanks, well, again , using the same drones, there are lancets, fpv, this is already, well, this is no longer news to anyone. thank you, thank you, mr. leonid , for joining us, thank you for being able to tell us something, i wish, we wish you success there, and actually endure all this rush, and mr. ivan and i... we will continue this conversation, mr. ivan, that is , well, you can really expect an increase now it is precisely these attempts, because there is also a concentration of russian equipment in the kupinsky direction, in vdiivsk, even there, somewhere in the area of ​​the coal mine, concentrations are noted, we can expect a little cooling and

this equipment will be used, it is difficult to say, it can be used in any which direction, where the russians will count. that there is a perspective there, for example, that their strike group is stronger there, that it is weaker there, for example, ukrainian defense, i.e. many, many factors, or there are no forces there, and ukrainian forces are there, but there is political will, it is necessary to advance, we must act, because time is running out, all deadlines are set, we must fulfill them , that is, here only our intelligence can say where exactly preparations are being made, because the russians also have their own cunning ideas, like how to deceive the ukrainians. the training of the military, how to enter but actually do not advance here, that is, here is a mistake, create a barrier, that you are advancing here, it is difficult to say, not without knowing all the information from the location, only our military, once again, and scouts know everything, well, actually i in this way, it let me down a little, but there is also activation in the avdiiv region, in the stepovoye region, and in the vesely region, but

such an interesting story happened there. which i also want us to discuss a little more than one episode of literally combat, this is the use of the bradley infantry fighting vehicle against the enemy t-90m tank, a breakthrough, well, we haven’t seen such a thing, well, let’s put it this way, that the infantry fighting vehicle essentially destroyed the tank, it’s in area of ​​stepovoy in the aldiivskyi direction, in fact the crew of the 43rd separate mechanized brigade of magur brought out... the system of the russian tank of this very tm 90m was out of order, a breakthrough that was highly advertised by putin, who said that it was the best russian tank, so they were able to stop it with bm. bmp is an infantry fighting vehicle, it is not the kind of equipment that should fight against tanks. they stopped him, sent him somewhere, there

the tower started spinning, after that the drone basically finished him off. and this is an interesting story, because in general, in recent days, it was last week, more new ones have already appeared , also when the bradley infantry fighting vehicle is firing there. armored russian vehicles, this is some kind of improvement, well, vehicles on the battlefield, which our fighters demonstrate, how do you generally evaluate such stories, because well, this is such an interesting application of bmp bradlin, and this is , first of all, secondly, well, in principle, this is a very, very, very brave crew, very so creative, well, let's be so daring, daring , just cowardly audacity and you can see how... the reward was that they knocked out the tank, of course it was not knocked out from the point of view that it caught fire there, it all went wrong, the observation devices knocked it down, and something was

damaged there, they correctly noted, the tower began to spin, but nevertheless the crew is extraordinary brave, left, attacked, not afraid to get a shot in return, because a shot from a tank would be, well, a disaster for the crew, but you see brave, that is, well, this is war, there is a place for... desperate acts, and there are cases , when desperation is rewarded, you see, the t-90 tank, the breakthrough has no analogues, all matters, as putin said there, that is, he too can be beaten, that is, i will once again show that heavy equipment is russian, as they show off, that we, our military-industrial complex manufactures so much equipment, it works, but it does not manufacture anything economic, her task was to go to the front, to the battlefield and burn there together with the crew, well, that’s exactly how it happened and... and here , of course, there is such an interesting story that, well, you see, when there is good equipment, there is such a thing, then its creative application, people, people in

the first place, when there are people, when they are ready to bite into this battle and they know how to behave and they take risks, of course mathematically, if you put o here is a tank, here is b, of course that well , 100% will say and no, well, there are few chances for a bmpp, well, listen, well, a tank, well, how do you match it there, you can it is possible, it is possible, it is possible, that is, these are people , these are our military, who were able and took risks, of course, and on the other side we must give credit, on the other side sat, well, not very, not too trained crew, judging by everything , that is, it is possible precisely because the equipment is constantly destroyed, constantly breaks down, together with the crew, there is no way to teach those buryats, conditionals, who sit in these tanks very well, well , we hope, we will see more such stories of interesting and ... at least we can discuss such amazing cases, because, well, this is really impressive, friends, but from this i want to move a little

to such political issues, you know, an agreement was signed on such, well, how to say, security cooperation with britain, now we heard that it is being prepared a similar agreement will come after the prime minister of the british sunak will come. french president macron, who will also sign a certain security agreement, we will already be with france, actually this series of signing agreements, well , it is already clear that this is already a certain political process that we are doing, we are doing it for what, for our security, well, i really want to believe that these agreements, they are of a nature, what, just what role will these bilateral agreements with european countries play? it is believed that these agreements should provide us with security at the stage while we are still at war, then some peaceful period after the war, it

will be, and the moment of joining nato, my personal, my personal assessment, and roughly the day the war ends, plus two years , and then ukraine will become a member of the alliance, well, on average two, between, maybe a little more, maybe a little less, we have a lot to do, to restore, so there is room to move. therefore, for this period of time, we need to somehow guarantee our security, thanks to such agreements, they are called security assurances, i want to believe that they will really work, that it will not be like the budapest memorandum, that even despite the change of power there i don't know, great britain, in france, in other countries will provide us with that help, including, this is also reverse help, in case, for example, there are problems in great britain, which so far unlikely, but... probably, for example, well, as an option, ukraine should also direct its military-industrial complex, which at that moment will accelerate to a certain speed and hand over

the shells to the united kingdom. trinkets and something more technological , that is, if we follow this agreement, does this mean that, for example, the countries with which we will sign this agreement, we will somehow be able to buy military equipment more widely from them, and they will be able to buy it, well, as if specifically for us to produce, or whether it can be predicted so, if it will be, if it will be this technique, well, look, well, i faced the fact that the countries of western europe simply do not have technology, no. and in general it seemed that it was the same alliance, but it turns out that they are just about drinking coffee, meeting in the background of this star of this logo, but there is nothing behind all this gloss, shine, well, remember when they decided to sell leopard tanks, the spanish said, we will give , we will give, several weeks pass, he says: oh, sorry, we looked here, they are coming out, it turns out that everyone is not ready, they are in a half-disassembled state, we need more time, then they started to find out the shells there.

there are no shells, for example, for the cheetah system, this is a system that shoots down russian drones, this is a very cool thing, automatic guns, ammunition, they are manufactured under license, well, there is part of the technology of switzerland, they block the transfer of this ammunition to us, oh, then there are such stories, we need to somehow avoid them, agree on production, on our own production, so that there is production of those stormshed missiles on the territory of great britain, for example, so that there is no. for example, france objected no, but we are against, because it is common, franco-british production, and france can at any moment block the transfer of these missiles, that is, a lot, a lot of work, and we must first of all rely on ourselves, on ourselves, not on any big guarantees, that is, we must always leave 5-10 % that the guarantees may not work, we only rely on ourselves, you know, we can rely on ourselves, but there are some types. well

, which we will not be able to produce directly in ourselves, well, we will be able to directly quickly, but we need to move towards this, no, patriot, no, but for example, let's do this, when we had several big warehouses on fire last time, i talked to one of the high-ranking officials, he told me, when i was talking about this topic, i said there are no shells, well, it’s bad, it’s an ass, and he says, but i ’m begging you, we have of these shells have piled up, we have so many shells for several years of war. or not, it seems that so many shells were consumed by ukraine every day , how many warehouses were destroyed, that it is necessary to calculate how many 20,000 shots will be fired per day, that is why it is necessary to be so intensive that ukraine is now doing 200 shots per day, there were about 700, this was our peak, the russians have 10,000 shots of shells per day, so we have to calculate how many shells we should have based on

the calculation, so that we can independently accumulate these... reserves and be able to conduct , for example, there has been two years of war, but every day 20,000 shells are fired, we can do this, it is so high-tech, it is our western friends, but small arms, cartridges for small arms are ours, it will only do its own thing, you know , and i still very much hope that, for example, such bilateral agreements will somehow remove the issue that the equipment supplied under such an agreement cannot be used on the territory of russia, because i believe that it is somehow owed to us, we have our own and then we... can use our own and don't ask us, sometimes it 's just physically impossible, sometimes it's just that we have to count on what the world has and have, other countries buy something and it's only for themselves, only for themselves, otherwise we will have big, big problems , once again, literally for the last time, i will remind you that by 2014 in part of the ministry of defense of ukraine was the department of surplus property, for a second, we sold everything, after

the collapse of the scoop in ukraine for... 20% of the military equipment of the entire soviet union, 7,000 people, the western group of troops, which was bringing its echelons from germany, was in ukraine , where is it all, we are all, well, these are the questions , you know, we have already said everything about it, we should talk about it, thank you, our time is up, thank you ivan stupak, military expert, and actually, our espresso broadcast continues , news on espresso, and we are with we will meet you
