through russian invaders, both military and civilian. let's observe a minute of silence in memory of ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

my greetings, this is the svoboda ranok project, my name is oleg galiv, and about the most important thing, as we always talk at this time, so don't switch. the situation in southern avdiyivka is extremely difficult, analysts of the deeppstate project write about it, according to their opinion. according to data , russian forces advanced to the west of the country settlement of vineyards, and also held assault actions on the tsar's will and neighboring positions. what is happening in the direction now? let's talk the european parliament calls on eu leaders to curtail hungary's rights in the bloc. 345 meps voted for the corresponding resolution. so what's next? orban is losing influence and, in particular, the ability to block the ukrainian issue: isn't everything so clear? the son of lviv businessman hrenkevich was announced. the search for

grankevich jr., as well as grankevich sr., law enforcement officers suspect of embezzlement during the purchase of clothes and underwear for the armed forces of ukraine. three more persons involved in this case are on trial in kyiv has already chosen a precautionary measure. i will tell you more later. i remind you of the importance of your likes and comments, this will allow this video to become popular on the network. over the past two days, the russian military has struck avdiivka with almost a hundred guided aerial bombs. it is reported. they say that the russian military is trying to gain a foothold in the steppe north of the city. the defense forces are inflicting significant losses on them, but the situation in the south of avdiivka is extremely difficult. there, russian forces advanced in the area of ​​the country house settlement vineyards. in addition , assaults were carried out near the tsarska okhota hotel complex and nearby positions. the results of these assaults are not yet known - say the deep state. the commander of the tavria operational-strategic group of troops , oleksandr ternavskyi, said the day before that

russian troops have again actively started using armored vehicles to support and disembark infantry and are losing them, in just three days, says ternavskyi, russian forces have lost 41 armored vehicles, including 17 tanks. tarnavskyi also confirms that russian the forces in the tavri direction resumed the active use of airstrikes. i noted that the ukrainian general staff reported that the russian ministry of defense repelled 22 attacks by russian forces in the avdiyiv direction in the last day. in their reports, they mention the defeat of the armed forces of ukraine near vodyanyi. it is south of avdiivka, and nothing is said about the city itself. dmytro lazutkin, head of the public relations service of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, is a guest of our broadcast. my greetings to you. congratulations. thank you for joining, please tell me how much the difficult situation now in the avdiiv region and whether there is really an advance of the forces of the russian federation to the west of the vynohradniki dacha settlement, as deep state analysts wrote about. what do you know? the situation is really complicated. there is only one, actually

speaking, since october 10, when the russians went in columns to attack the assault, now the fighting does not stop either, well, i cannot talk about the area where our brigade is not working, there the adjacent units are conducting the defense, but i will note that that night there were several airstrikes, cabs were thrown at the city and at it the vicinity of the occupiers, battles also took place near the village of stepovoy. the russians have been trying to enter and gain a foothold in the steppe for a long time, they are regularly knocked out by our fighters, but again the struggle continues and the battles take place in very difficult conditions, but a few days ago there was a good frost and the russians began to use more equipment, bmp tanks and infantry groups went on the offensive, and there is already evidence of that, even video evidence on the network, actually we... can

see it now, how they were destroyed by fighters, including our brigade, and yes, fighters in general the strength of the defense forces , which are concentrated in the avdiiv direction, well... today the thaw has begun seriously, and the ground will become wet again, and this will also obviously affect the use of equipment by the enemy, but well , tracked equipment also passes through such weather, so there is definitely no need to relax it is worth it, we should expect new waves of attacks, because the tendency is that the russians will not abandon the task of seizing the audio store, cutting off logistics, this one is obvious. the political and strategic task for them is extremely important, and accordingly our task is to restrain them and not give advance. but regarding guided air bombs, which russian forces use in particular in this direction, what does this indicate? about the fact that this is a really effective type of weapon that can bring some

results on the battlefield, or about the fact that the russian forces have a lot of them and they may not spare them? perhaps the other, too, because it is a really terrible weapon, it is also psychological... it logically oppresses and causes great damage, therefore the use of guided air bombs can indicate both the preparation of the next wave of offensive and psychological pressure on the defenders, including the coking plant, as well as avdiyivka as a whole, both in the north and in the south, because now the enemy really intensified last night and tonight, and we are watching this intensification, and according to everything. .. ready, mr. dmitry, yesterday we actually had a conversation with the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, who are stationed in the bakhmut direction, and before that we also heard the comments of other soldiers from the bakhmut direction, and they say that there is a very noticeable lack of ammunition and people in their direction please tell me about the avdiiv

direction, how much weapons are there for the armed forces of ukraine, and how about the military itself, are they expecting possible rotations and additional reinforcements there? i have not yet seen a single commander who would refuse shells, reinforcements, manpower and epividrons, because considering how many russians are dying and how many are still coming in the aldivian direction and how many are going to attack, again past the corpses actually their compatriots, it can be noted that it is necessary there will be a lot more ammunition and people , it wouldn’t hurt to have more, but... in any case, we see now that the situation is practically unchanged, the line of combat contact remains for 3 months, it has become almost, well, there plus or minus 100 m , so it breathes, but it still does not advance in our direction, and accordingly this indicates that the resistance is effective, the resistance

is well organized and managed, at the same time it is clear that people still get injured, some get sick, some just psychologically... gets tired, because especially the infantry conducts combat operations in very difficult conditions, and this constantly puts pressure on morale, well, of course , physically, especially in such weather, so i note once again that reinforcements , both with ammunition and manpower, no one would refuse, of course, that it is necessary, and we expect that this process will continue and positive decisions will also take place, we will hear about them, learn about them in the near future and feel them. you said that the russian forces there actually continue to throw reinforcements in the nadiyev direction, including, you can somehow note and comment there for myself, for example, since the beginning of the new year, so since the 24th, is there any significant transfer of the forces of the russian federation to the avdiiv direction, or is this a process that has already

become stable and additional reserves are constantly being drawn up, but they are not so significant , to talk about the scale, well , it shows the geographical location of even the russian troops. that they have the opportunity to maneuver and they can quickly transfer their units from one direction to another, therefore, accordingly, we are talking about some kind of stability and a fixed reality, sure, it's difficult, because the situation is really changing, they are suffering losses, they are replenishing, we see that there is storm z, and storm b, and several motorized rifle brigades are standing in front of us, so accordingly we will, we will wait for further attacks from them, watch after them. to destroy them, preferably on the approach in places of concentration. i thank you for the information, for getting involved, take care, dmytro lazudin, this is the head of the public relations service of the 47th separate mechanized brigade. we talked about the situation in the avdiyiv direction. a drone that

flew to the leningrad region to the st. petersburg oil terminal, was of ukrainian production and covered a distance of 1,250 km. this was told by oleksandr kamyshchyn, the ukrainian minister of foreign affairs. of strategic industries during a panel discussion at the economic forum in davos. we are able to produce everything from small fpv drones for 350. to the one that flew to st. petersburg tonight and it is made in ukraine. this thing flew 1250 km tonight and hit the target. now we can make more of them. thus kamyshchyn confirmed information from the ukrainian media that the attack on the oil terminal was the work of ukraine. andrii yusov, a representative of the main intelligence department, did not directly deny or confirm that this attack was a gur operation. but he said that this testifies to the new quality of the tool. damage and that this target is legal for ukraine

, russian telegram channels wrote about the attack on the oil terminal in the leningrad region the day before, but the russian ministry of defense said that the air defense forces had intercepted one drone in the territory of the leningrad region and one more was destroyed over the moscow region. this st. petersburg oil terminal is the largest refinery in the baltic region. it has been operating since 1996 and is located in the western part of st. petersburg. according to the words. the yusova oil depot is used to circumvent sanctions, supply and finance the troops of the russian federation. at this moment, we are joined by a guest, yevhen dyky, an international expert, a scholarly veteran of the aidar battalion. my greetings to you. good morning, glory of ukraine. to the heroes glory, thank you for finding the opportunity. so, let's stop at these drones, which flew all the way to the oil depot there in st. petersburg. how do you assess if drones fly already at such a distance and can actually affect such objects for the russian federation. how threatening is it for russia and does the russian federation have anything to oppose in the fight against these drones? well, i'll start with the second,

of course, in principle it should, but the question is how much and where. it took us a year to more or less organize the fight against the shaheds, and in fact we are talking about drones of the same class. so what we are talking about now is, as it were, the ukrainian analogues of the shaheds. this does not mean that they necessarily look like this, but i mean the tactical and technical characteristics, that is , it is a long-range radio referee drone that can fly more than 1000 km and hit the target there with pre-entered coordinates, well in fact, it is actually of the same class of machine, which is interesting that the russians themselves did not manage to develop anything similar, but unfortunately, iran gave them a strong shoulder, so to speak, not only provided them with the drones themselves at the beginning of the war, but then iran actually gave russia a license after a license. not the production of jaheds and a line for assembling them, and now they assemble them in alabuz, about 300 cars per

month, but we had to start from scratch, none of the western allies provided us with anything like that, and it actually turned out, well, the task arose, it appeared in the 22nd year, the first tests took place already in the 23rd, but if you remember our first ones already in the 23rd... that is, it was also an operation of the main administration intelligence, that is, by the way, this is a very ukrainian combination, the operation is planned by gur, probably the most powerful of our special services today, but at the same time it uses generally unofficial, so to speak, cars sponsored by private private volunteer funds, that is , not only that. not weapons from the allies, and this is not even a weapon placed on the balance sheet of the armed forces, it is such, let's say, a vivid example

of public-private cooperation, that 's how, in general , this industry is developing in our country, all ukrainian remote drones are the production of various companies, by the way, they are from state factories, i won’t name them for security reasons, but i know for sure that something from the classic defense industry is involved here, but much... more private initiatives, and this is no less a dozen , at the moment probably already a dozen and a half competing different companies, competing in a good sense, that is, the same task is being solved in parallel, that is , how to fly further, well, actually three tasks: how to fly even further, how to carry a larger amount of explosives, because the size of the combat unit, it determines a lot, it depends on which target you can hit, and in the end... the key question is how to accurately target the target, what can the russians

oppose to it? oh, well, it’s hard for me to imagine how in the expanses of vast russia, as one of their good russians sang there, 8200 versts of emptiness, but i can’t imagine how to cover these 8200 versts of emptiness with the kind of air defense with which we mainly shoot down shaheds now, let me remind you , that we mostly do it. groups, on jeeps, with machine guns, or on trucks with automatic guns, anti-aircraft, and banal with searchlights or with well or at best with small relays, but the area of ​​ukraine compared to... that of russia is ten times smaller there, and as you might have noticed, we still miss some of the shaheds, especially when they fly for the first time to an area where they were not recorded before, that is, even we have not yet properly covered the entire area with these mobile groups, for the territory of russia this task is obviously unrealistic, an alternative approach, in fact,

the alternative approach is the so-called object air defense, that is, to deploy air defense around. those objects that are most likely to be impressed by us. in principle, it is not difficult to calculate such objects, we absolutely do not hide it, and it is, well, it is obvious in general, it makes no sense to hide that , first of all, we are interested in the defense of russia's defense plants, which produce weapons and military equipment for them , and gur even actually did this at one time, i'm telling you, the main intelligence agency even published a list of 32 key ones. enterprises that play the most serious role in production of russian weapons, and we do not hide that, let's say, we intend to make adjustments to the production activities of these 32 enterprises, but first of all, in addition to 32, there are actually many more, for example, oil terminals were not included in this list, that is in addition to the factories, there are many other important things, and we

never announced in advance that we were interested in, for example, the baikal-amur highway, but then we just took it... and blew it up, that's why there are actually many objects, and all of them should even be closed object popo, this is also a problem of the fact that there are many objects, there are also reports, actually from russia , that drones allegedly also attacked the bryansk region and also an oil depot at night, this is reported by telegram channels with reference to the governor of the region, so there are really many of these objects, and by the way, the production of anti-aircraft missiles in russia now, is it at all there, is the air defense of russia not at all now, no, it is at all there. the antey diamond hasn't gone anywhere, but we haven't gotten to it yet, i would say yes, the antey diamond is working, another thing is what are the rates of production, that is, like how much they produce, but no, well, actually for shooting down drones, then this is exactly the question, the main thing is to detect them in time , shooting down a drone is not such a big problem, as we know it very well from our experience, here the question is precisely how to cover

such areas or so many objects with detection means, well, can they go an alternative way , and it seems they are working it out. i mean the latest reports about the fact that even in the baltic countries and poland the connection went down, the actual reception of the gps signal went down, because they completely jammed it in general, well, first of all, on their territory, but apparently they also caught a number of those adjacent to the border, that is , what they can do is this kind of, let's say , carpet reb, which is stupid to put everything on, but there is a nuance here: first of all, again, the square of russia. they have enough reb means , but not on such an area, they cover the front very densely with rebs, they are able to cover their borders, well, but, but, the second moment, when this is how such a total reb goes, then yes, it can be silenced gps signal for everything, but it also applies to all their equipment, that is, it is for the sake of

if one of our drones did not fly by, they have to completely extinguish and cut off their entire areas. from any orientation, but in the end , the third nuance here is the most interesting, it is only the most primitive models of drones that use one orientation system, gps orientation, for example, three different duplicate orientation systems have long been implemented in cruise missiles, as soon as one goes out, the other one is turned on on a completely alternative principle, accordingly it is protected from the slave, well , no one forbids three systems in exactly the same way put in drones as well, this is a simple question, that is... what will increase their cost, well, but compared to the cost of an oil depot, it will still remain funny. mr. yevgeny, i would also like to move on to ukraine, france will transfer 50 medium-range missiles to ukraine every month, these are the announced plans for the near term, how these missiles can strengthen ukraine's own armed forces, and how do you assess the overall needs for missiles , we say , to be honest, that's it for now,

look, i've seen fresh messages about scalps, well, scalps are hardly what they'll be passing on. 50 per month, they just physically don’t have that many, but now macron personally announced the transfer of 40 units, and in fact this is already a very serious increase, but there is also talk of the transfer of guided aerial bombs, here is her guide, maybe they were confused in the message, but if we have 50 guided aerial bombs every month, then this very significantly increases our capabilities, that is, this, let's say this, it's not just a little eh, no, again, we don't have to fall into... this not something that by itself would turn the tide of the war. in general, there is no one such weapon, unless we are talking about a nuke, which by itself turns the entire course of war, but some weapons just give us a little strength, and some very significantly change the schedule on the front. so here are 50 guided aerial bombs every month - this is one of the things that significantly changes the schedule at the front. this, well, this is really, let's say,

one of the means of achieving superiority. this thorough reinforcement is actually one of the means of achieving the advantage over the enemy, and not just for us to hold out. but those guided air bombs that france can transfer to ukraine, if the translation from the french media is interpreted correctly, how much... they are, let's say, more powerful than the guided air bombs that the russian federation uses today, we have talked privately with representatives of the military until today the ukrainian side fighting in the avdiiv direction, and they say that russia is really very active in this direction now using its own cabs, and it turns out, they say that and there are many of them, and russia also sees that the results from these weapons are important. yes , russia uses the kap-500, and the number, this number 500 in the name, it... actually has two meanings at once, well, the official meaning is 500 kg, this is the actual weight of this bomb, it is a half-ton bomb, and it is really scary , i've seen cabs in action, well, let's put

it this way, it's a weapon for destroying cities, and thank god they can only use it from behind the front line, none of their planes fly over the front line , because instantly is literally being shot down by our ppo, that is, they are rushing from far behind the front lines, these... cabs, so this is only a problem, well , actually at the front and in a narrow near-front lane, this is our happiness with you, because in principle, if they, how they planned at the beginning of the so-called svo, if they had extinguished our air defense even then and managed in the sky , as it was, for example, in syria, or as it was, unfortunately, in the sky over mariupol surrounded, well, believe me, we have it would be a completely different life for you, we, we don't really appreciate what work aerials really do for us forces, and what, what our air defense forces really call us... how much the lives of each of us and you depend on the work of our air defense forces, we don't appreciate precisely because we have nothing to compare them with, they never flew in that's why,

mr. yevgeny, and we literally have 40 seconds left, i would also like to ask you about the fact that ukraine is making significant efforts to restore air traffic from kyiv and lviv . for another time, see french air bombs, it is not announced which modification. they are from 250 kg to as much as 500 kg, that is, there are complete analogs of shots, but in any case , even if there are two hundred, it does not matter in this case, because their accuracy of hitting is fundamentally different, the accuracy of hitting french guided bombs plus -minus 5 m, the accuracy of hitting kab 500 is actually 500, it is plus or minus 500 m, this is a fundamental difference, it is a 100-fold difference, that is, the russians even work with kabs. in conclusion, literally one sentence is still the seed for the next one

is it time to open aviation space analysts or not? to be honest, i understand why we really want it, but in my opinion there are still too many risks, so in short. thank you, thank you very much for your analysis, as always thorough, evgeny dytky, international expert, scientist and veteran of the aidar battalion, our guest. broadcasts had time to talk about a lot. meps call for an end to hungarian blackmail in the european union. they approved the corresponding resolution calling on the eu to curtail hungary's rights in the union, closely even to the point of depriving her of her voice. is it possible and what does this decision risk for viktor orbán? radio liberty correspondent zoryana stepanenko will tell more. the hungarian blockade of the eu budget, which includes , in particular, the 50 billion euro macrofin'. for ukraine was condemned in strasbourg, the european parliament, the majority of which has long and consistently criticized viktor orban , supported this resolution the day before with 345 votes.

hungary's position was called disrespect and a violation of the strategic interests of the european union, which, they noted, should not succumb to blackmail. orban made it clear that he is ready to remove the veto from money for ukraine if the plan for its allocation is adjusted, that is, not all 50 billion for four years at once, but to review annually whether ukraine... needs it and whether it fulfills the conditions to receive the funds, that de facto gives hungary additional opportunities for additional vetoes. to go to a meeting with orban is to harm one's own reputation, meps emphasized from the podium. ukrainians are losing their lives, ukrainians are also fighting for our freedom, and we have putin's best servant sitting behind table in the european council, blocking our support and our authority at this crucial stage. it's a joke and it's a joke.

commissions directed to split, make a small annual portion of this money for ukraine, or give the right to an interim audit is not a compromise, it is simply opening the door for further blackmail by orbán in the coming years. the parliament criticized the december decision of the european commission, which unfroze more than 10 billion from eu funds for hungary. the official reason is that officials in brussels appreciated her reforms in the judicial sector. unofficially. many attribute this to an attempt to appease orbán on the eve of the december summit, where he threatened to block the opening of accession talks with ukraine. the hungarian funds were released just before the summit, which was remembered by many for the exit of the hungarian prime minister from the room where the leaders voted for negotiations with ukraine. the head of the european commission repeated to the meps that they reserve the right to sue in order to cancel the decision to unfreeze hungarian money, that it is only a matter of reforms, she promised in case of need

provide... more information and keep the next batch of money frozen until hungary gets it right. around €20 billion remains frozen, suspended over concerns about lgbtq rights, academic freedom and asylum rights. some of them are blocked under the conditionality mechanism and will remain blocked until hungary fulfills all the necessary conditions. the deputies also condemn the systematic efforts of the hungarian government aimed at undermining eu values, the press service of the european parliament quotes them as saying. processes, that are happening in hungary, they call the erosion of democracy and call on the leaders of the member states to assess the seriousness of the situation, if necessary to limit hungary's rights in the eu to the point of deprivation of the right to vote, and with it, accordingly, the veto. however, this requires the will of all the other 26 leaders of the european union and

to protect hungary from similar actions. we publicly promised the day, in particular, the prime minister of slovakia. the resolution of the european parliament is primarily of a recommendatory nature, and the official budapest has not yet commented on it. from brussels, zoryan stepanenko, marek hajduk, radio freedom. this is svoboda ranok. thank you for watching and stay tuned for more on our broadcast. ukraine is preparing for the legalization of the lobbying market, i.e. legal influence on government officials in order to defend individual interests. groups in the first reading, the verkhovna rada voted in favor of such a draft law, which specifically provides for methods of influence, rights and obligations, as well as control over the activities of those who will engage in lobbying, and whether all opinions are taken into account and how lobbying should reduce the level of corruption. the son of a lviv businessman hrenkevych was declared wanted as hrenkevych jr., as well as hrynkevich sr. law enforcement officers suspect fraud during the purchase of clothes and underwear for the armed forces. three more

persons involved in this case are on trial in kyiv. i have already chosen a preventive measure, i will tell you more later. your every comment and like is important to popularize this video on the web, so don't forget about it, and also subscribe to radio svoboda's youtube channel if you haven't done so yet. the pechersk district court of kyiv tonight chose a preventive measure for three criminal suspects proceedings regarding the supply of low-quality clothing for the armed forces of ukraine. they were taken into custody for two months with the possibility of bail in the amount of uah 500 each, the prosecutor general's office reports, referring to the heads of companies controlled by businessman ihor grenkevich. hrenkevych himself has been in custody since december 29 on charges of trying to bribe representatives of the security intelligence service. according to the investigation, one more member of the organized criminal group is hiding, the prosecutor's office says. it is about the son of igor hrenkevich, roman. the day before, the state bureau of investigation declared him wanted. this was reported by the spokeswoman of the dbr, tetyana sapyan.

i suspect him. announced in accordance with the procedure established by law, says the spokeswoman of the dbr, but the investigative bureau does not know where he is. according to the sdb , grenkevich jr. did not cross the border. he noted that according to the version of the investigation, all five men as part of an organized criminal group caused losses in the state budget of ukraine in the amount of almost one billion hryvnias. there is still no reaction to the accusations and search on the part of roman hrenkevich, but earlier he stated that this case was commissioned, and the hrenkevych family conducted business honestly. and a day earlier, against the background of the scandal with the hrynkevich family business. the blogger sonia moruzyuk, who had an affair, broke up with him, she announced this on her instagram: i will not be with a person who betrayed my country, the girl wrote. tetyana sipyan, communications advisor of the state bureau of investigation, joins our broadcast, my congratulations. i congratulate oleg and all the viewers of radio svoboda. thank you for joining.
