only so, because we are under constant shelling, we cannot do anything capital yet, because every day there are flights and even to the same houses, so so far so, besides this, our charitable organizations help, continue to help, such organizations bring children heaters to people affected by shelling so that they can... actively heat their homes, basically people can always use free evacuation, go to safer areas, i.e. sorry to interrupt, i.e. evacuation it is ongoing now, people are leaving , it has been going on for more than a year, free evacuation, and we offer people different directions, because people want to go somewhere to their relatives, because... they choose a direction, and

then we contact them there with local authorities, with volunteers , who can look for housing there, also free of charge so that people can live in safer regions, we all understand that most of the villages there have empty houses, there are houses there that belong to some people there, who then also get for what they... provide for these houses, they receive payments from the state, that is why it is profitable, including for villages, and that is why there are so many such options, it is better than the fact that every second a shell can fall on the head, of course, and mr. oleksandr, one last question for you, i read on the news today that one drone dropped a munition on utility workers who were working, and that... how can you

classify that, is it an accidental drop just on utility workers, or was it possible that there was some a deliberate action on the part of the russians to hit someone an important object? yes, it really was a kherson vodokanal car, and we are quite young children, i guess we understand that if a drone or kamikaze drone hits some point or object, it is a targeted attack on this particular object. everything is perfectly visible from the drone, moreover, these drones do not work individually, they work in conjunction with reconnaissance drones, so it is perfectly clear who they are hitting, and this is a targeted attack on the civilian population on the communal services of the city of kherson , but communal services of the city of kherson, like me understood, work and work perfectly. thank you for your work, thank you for helping. residents of kherson in such a

difficult time for all of ukraine and for kherson, in particular. it was oleksandr tolokonnikov, head of the department of internal and information policy of the kherson regional military administration. well, now, as always on fridays, it's time to talk about what happened in ukraine at the front. obviously, my colleague serhiy from... goretz, you know, at the beginning, when can tell the best about it after the start of the full-scale invasion , everyone read a lot in various telegram channels, i in particular read the same, but i constantly approached sergey and said that telegram channels are like that, someone wrote something, all the information is completely true, detailed information comes from him, and today he will sum up what was happening, how we beat the aggressor, i congratulate you, sergey, i congratulate you, yulia, i congratulate our viewers, today we will really talk about... about what

happened on the front line, which the consequences for the aggressor were the destruction of their a50u aircraft and about the attempts of the russians to use the old new missiles for strikes on odessa and what came of it, more on that in a moment. well, let's start, sergey, you know, there are many questions for you, but only one. well, in one word, the russians announced at the end of last year some active, very important offensive, it was supposed to start last year, at the end of last year, it continued, it kind of stalled or not, now they are trying to restore it or continue it , please tell me what the main goals can be and to what extent the russians are prepared for this, well , when we talk about an offensive, about a new offensive, i think this is a certain exaggeration.

because the russians began, conditionally speaking, the third such planned offensive, starting sometime in october, when they began attacks on avdiivka, and at that time in... along the entire length of the front, kupin, svatovy, kremina, there, avdiivka , the south, hostilities have intensified everywhere, and for three months they are actually going on at such a powerful pace, because if we are there somewhere for the new year saw about 30 combat clashes there, now we again see that the indicators have increased to almost 100 combat clashes per day, which indicates that the enemy is still trying to put pressure on ours. of defense, now we are in active defense, and when we talk about different areas of the front, in particular, well, now we see there the area of ​​kupensphate cremina, here the enemy is trying to create preconditions to ensure that our group is pushed to

the right bank of the oskil river, this already a long-standing goal, the enemy is there almost all the time of hostilities throws a grouping there to ensure simple. but it doesn't really happen there and this section, well, remains difficult, we will talk about it in more detail. when we talk about other goals, then , of course, these combat operations around bakhmut are aimed at trying to break through to the commanding heights and then try to develop an offensive there on kramatorsk and slavyansk. when we talk about the situation around avdiyivka, here the enemy is trying to push our troops away from the volnovasy supply line in order to to secure their railway lines, which feed russian groups there. when we talk about the south, the enemy's goals are to outplay the results of our offensive and to repulse

the works received by our troops, that is, in fact, in all these directions the situation is predictable, understandable, the enemy has now accumulated a significant amount of forces, we understand. that now the number of personnel on the territory of ukraine is 460,000, let's remember that before the war at the beginning of the war there were 180, and now there are 460 + 30 russian guard troops, that is, in fact 500,000 enemies are on our territory, and at the same time we understand that the front line is almost unchanged, which speaks of an effective defense system, although we understand that we need more equipment and ammunition, we need to... look at approaches to defense actions, don't forget about fortification, many other things that are actually, well, now marked on the front line. well, look, before i ask another question, i'll come back to this, you talked about the oskil river, i think you said it several times during our talks about the fact that this river, which runs from

north to south, that it is such a natural, very important barrier for us, and that it is precisely from our side, well, that is, ours is already on the other side, but if we retreat behind on the other side that there are very good positions, so then the question, if this is so, then the question, i understand that the russians have meat grinders, well, another meat grinder, well, another meat grinder, but why prepare another such meat now a chopper? well, in any case, we understand that when we mention our kupinsky grouping, the cremina seizes there, which is located on the left bank of the oskil river, so relatively speaking, behind us is the oskil river, in front of us there is a river, there are foals and all this is there. relies on all-faith donetsk. actually, these, these, water directions, they form the geographical conditions of this theater of hostilities. now the enemy is directing its efforts precisely to kupyansk with the aim, relatively speaking,

to control the transport hub, which is at the top of this, this water intersection, because below there it begins, the gap becomes wider and wider, and relatively speaking, if... ... we lose the possibility of provision of their groups through kupinsk, then it actually becomes difficult to maintain our entire group, indeed, we can withdraw there to the right bank of the oskil river, but this should not be done prematurely, now the strategy of the ukrainian armed forces is to hold the lines with minimal losses for themselves and with minimal, with maximum losses for the enemy, this is exactly what general syrsky said by the way. was literally there yesterday or the day before yesterday on this section of the front near kupyansk, where he held meetings with the brigade commanders who are now receiving this section, there the enemy has been trying to move from synkivka to kupyansk for several months in a row without success, but in fact we

understand that the enemy's goal is to really try to take this section of the front under their control, and when we go all the way down to liman, there in the same way, there is already... a wider stretch of the oskil river there are more powerful reservoirs and there the enemy is also trying to put pressure on our defenses or the whole of it from below. this is the direction from kupyansk to liman, to somehow complicate the provision of our troops, i repeat, this has been going on for a long time, the enemy has 1,000 personnel there, constant attacks are taking place, but the detailing on the front line is such that there is no enemy advance, now the enemy will really try to carry out his actions in the format of extended offensive actions using manpower and equipment, but now the dynamic is such that with the availability of a sufficient number of reserves and the work of artillery, i hope that the enemy

will be able to be held, in the event of a withdrawal there , in conditions where the holding of these sections of the front will be simply impossible, then in principle we really understand that the right side of the oscillate looks quite acceptable, but it is still too early to talk about it. serhii, i remember correctly that the russians reported that they had taken kupyansk six months ago, however, there were several of them, let's say so... manifestly, that is, as always, propaganda ran ahead of reality, and and now, this village of senkivka, which is about 6-8 kilometers from kupyansk, if i'm not mistaken, there are already burial grounds for military equipment in this senkivka, although the enemy is really breaking through there already there to the village, there he tries to enter the village there, our military forces knock him out, because satkivka is actually such an important settlement, it is located in the lowlands, it is completely... destroyed, but the defense line is holding there and in fact it looks like something like a permanent trap

for russian troops, although it is easy for the enemy to provide logistics there, because up there, close to russia, you can easily transfer reinforcement units there, syrskyi also said that new assault companies are being formed there and so on, but the dynamics connected with the defense says that sinkivka is being held, it is very good, although there... about some other directions, well , orlivka in particular, there is a little further from senkivka, there is an advance of the enemy by several hundred meters, it was literally a couple of days ago, because as it happened, relatively speaking , the weather was very bad, there was a strong wind, there was poor visibility, drones were not used, and using such and such climatic conditions, when we could not use reconnaissance drones , could have used it, but no could effectively use artillery, the enemy... used this opportunity and advanced in certain areas. now counterattacks are taking place, i hope

that the front line will be aligned in those areas that are optimal for our armed forces. well, i hope that there will be more and more of these russian gravediggers there. now let's talk a little about siversk, especially there were some movements to the south and east of it, from this city, in particular near the villages of zolovesel and bilogorivka. is there a new threat to this city? well siverskyi is more important, it is actually such a bridgehead that we will get, but now, if we look at the map, siverskyi is right in the center, and the enemy understands that in order for him to advance further to the liman, or relatively speaking, to move there to slavyansk, to kramatorsk, that is, a pocket that is now biting into the territory that the enemy is currently occupying. it is quite dangerous for the enemy, because any actions in any direction due to this grouping of our troops

around siversk, it in principle does not allow the enemy to carry out any far-sighted actions with the use of their troops, and now, literally this week, they have carried out a number of such powerful attacks, which were directed in two directions: one direction is exactly bilogorivka, and the other is on vesele, there are certain advances of the enemy. at a small distance, and this is precisely aimed at trying to push our troops out of this area, but i repeat, this is not the first time that this has happened, now we can record a certain advance of the enemy, but in any case, it is unlikely to talk about the fact that some such drastic changes will take place systematically here, which will really allow the enemy to achieve what... he wants, because in fact, i think that the potential of our armed forces, despite exhausting battles, is sufficient to deter

the enemy and on this part of the front. well, we will restrain further, well, since we have brave guys, and we also have good equipment, let’s talk about the equipment now, the following, probably all our viewers have seen, because this video went viral on telegram, on youtube, like bradley they just killed the russian rashi tank. 90 and it happened near the village of stepove, where the armed forces of ukraine have been holding back the rush of the rashists for the fourth month. sergey, what is happening near avdiivka and to what extent. it is the bradleys that help us hold back the russian offensive, well , near avdiivka there are quite effective actions by our armed forces, which have been holding back the enemy for more than three months, who are trying to bypass avdiivka from the north and south, are trying to take our garrison in a pinch, they are not succeeding, we now

see that the enemy is trying then to move there to nabakhmutivka somewhere to the north in... is trying to carry out attacks from the south there, but in general the dynamics of the narrowing of the ticks from the north and from the south is such that in fact there is no enemy advance there, and just one of the settlements is just steppe, which is located above avdiivka, in the north, and there the 47th mechanized brigade holds the defense and really uses various types of weapons, drones. artillery and such, and especially using the bradley infantry fighting vehicle. we know several such good videos, this is the most we see of it, the longest, which shows how our bradley infantry fighting vehicles approach a russian tank and then begin to fire at it with a 25-millimeter cannon, perform such a

dense, aimed and effective fire, disabling the guidance devices. uh, this tank, then we see that something is happening in the tank, it loses control , so to speak, the turret starts spinning uncontrollably, the tank crashes into a tree, and then the drones strike this and the tank, where the crew tries runs out, and then there was even a message that there, the mechanic of the driver of this tank was captured, this video actually demonstrates that this equipment is american, in particular bradley. they are really adapted to fight tanks, although everyone believes that tanks have greater protection, have a powerful gun, and in fact, if a tank hit an infantry fighting vehicle there, it would not be sweet for our fighters, but we see that due to mobility, intensity fire from the bradley gun, we see that the tank simply does not even have time to orientate itself in the situation

that is developing on the battlefield, and this says that such bmps are needed... much more, now we have received them, if i am not mistaken, about 200 machines, despite the fact that the american army has more than 3,000 stocks of these nonsense for various modifications, so i think that if to place the supply of these samples on larger-scale approaches, then not only avdiyivka, but other directions can show the enemy the advantages of the bradley infantry fighting vehicle over russian models of equipment, including the new breakthrough tank, and there will be a lot of such videos. and why is it possible that more bradley will be given as soon as possible. sergei, i remember correctly, bradley is called a tank killer. yes, if we recall the history of iraq, where the actual number of destroyed t-72 tanks of the iraqi army

due to the work of bradley would be greater than the number of tanks destroyed by the american abrams. there were cases when i say it out of the blue. there, one bradley destroyed up to five to five t-72 tanks in one battle, that is, in fact, this machine is adapted to be a tank killer, it has a tow gun, which destroys it at a range of several kilometers , causes devastating night attack on armored vehicles, and the gun, it is effective because it is balanced, stabilized, they have night vision devices, and as we can see... when the bmp brad for the 47th brigade fired so densely that i just repeat myself, i am sure that the russian crew could not even find their way to where to run, because with a whole aiming, i think they were taken out immediately when such a flurry of bmp fire is carried out, then he just ran away, but i want to watch such pictures again and again, and now

appeal to the us congressmen, please allocate money and give us more bradley, you see, you must have also seen such a video, so time. affects, but i still have two questions for you, tell me, please , after our soldiers destroyed, well , phenomenally destroyed the a-50 reconnaissance aircraft, which the russians boasted about and said that it was simply impossible to destroy, can we talk about the fact that the sky over the crimea has become porous, and that now we will be able to do whatever we want there with our missiles, well, we used to do that we want our missiles, because even with the presence of russian anti-aircraft defense, our missiles were able to reach russian submarines and missile ships there, which were hiding in the bays of sevastopol, but now the situation after the destruction of the a50 plane is such that today... . the enemy has raised another a50 to carry out alternate flights, but where it is not in the sea of ​​azov, he is simply afraid to fly there, and all these overflights are now done by the enemy, well

, today he made them from the airspace of the krasnodar territory, which means that, relatively speaking, it is already at least 200 km shorter can look into our territory, and so it gives us the opportunity to, well, more ... broadly plan actions using our foreign forces and our aviation, so i think that's a good consequence of destroying the first one, and the 50th one, i think, if it gets closer to another one closer to our borders, then this story is possible, or we will have missiles that can shoot at such planes to the krasnodar territory, it will be soon, when the f-16 appears with american... missiles certain versions, i think this work will be done on na at a time, two or three without problems. i really hope, and the last question for you: the russians launched the first missile, we

are all used to the fact that the missile is called ha, and this is a missile called p, the p-35 missile over odessa, our anti-aircraft, our anti-aircraft defense shot down this missile, but why is this event symbolic, well, it is not so much symbolic as it confirms what the enemy is already starting. to give from the arsenals what actually we have all long forgotten, this missile was put on combat duty sometime in 1962, yes, that is, it is actually one of the of the oldest samples, but here with this story with the rocket, the story is that this rocket itself is inaccurate, it is at the same time powerful enough considering the warhead, which has a weight of up to one ton. the rocket was launched a couple of days ago, as we speculate. from the coastal defense complex in balaklava, there is such a reserve settlement, there is such

a division, which was kept by ukraine at one time, where this launcher rises from the ground storage, launches and approaches again, goes underground, so this the missile was just launched, most likely for the first time from this division, it was shot down by ukrainian air defense. which suggests that the air defense system has started to work much better over odesa, well, but in any case, we understand that now the enemy still has a certain supply of these missiles, i hope that they will all be shot down, one way or another. well, i not only hope, i am sure that it will be, absolutely right. many thanks to serhiy zgurets for summarizing, as always, very, very detailed. thank you, yuri i hope that next week we will also have a lot of positive news that shows the potential of our armed forces in the fight against the enemy. yes, in a few minutes we

will have news, and before that we have a plot for you: the battles for the donetsk airport, one of the fiercest in the war in eastern ukraine. ukrainian soldiers, volunteers and medics from... defended the resort from the russian military and militants for 244 days. from may 2014 to january 2015, the defense of the garrison became a symbol of the indomitability and fighting spirit of our army, and its defenders were called cyborgs. a day in memory of the defenders of the donetsk airport, we remind you of the events that took place more than nine years ago.

it's march 2014, beethoven's ode to joy is being played at the donetsk airport, which symbolically is the anthem of the european union. on the morning of may 25, 2014, the airport stopped air traffic, already on may 26 , russian security forces occupied the new terminal for the second time, the ukrainian military pushed out the enemies, and the airport came under the control of the forces of the anti-terrorist operation. on july 10, enemy fighters fired at the position of ukrainian anti-aircraft guns, one soldier was killed, for a few days later another one died from his wounds. these were the first losses of the ukrainian army at the donetsk airport. it became a stronghold of ato forces. sands, through which the defenders of the airfield were supplied with ammunition, rotation took place. fire support artillery was deployed in the same village.

the day 28 became black. september 8, 2014, when nine ukrainian soldiers were killed, and 20 more were wounded. the russian invaders shelled the positions of our soldiers in violation of the minsk agreements. however, our military continued to hold the terminals. early in october, the russian occupying forces again tried to storm the airport. then 11 ukrainian soldiers died. in the same month, before putin's birthday, the russian... the media reported that the airport was allegedly under the control of militants. however, our defenders, completely surrounded, continued to defend the resort. heavy fighting for the donetsk airport took place in november as well. during the storming of the old terminal, two ukrainian defenders were killed and six were wounded. ato forces left the premises and concentrated on the territory new. january 1, 2015.

pro-russian forces tried to break into the new terminal with an assault, but after a fierce battle of several hours they retreated with losses, during the new year clash a ukrainian defender was killed, an enemy grenade exploded under his feet, in the severe frost of january 7, the cyborgs holding the tower of the donetsk airport were caroling, and we will plant a beautiful christmas tree for you, and a beautiful maiden for your son. we congratulate you, you have a red rose on your work, your daughter, a handsome husband, we congratulate you. russian militants fired grenade launchers at the new terminal, from rocket artillery, weather tower. due to massive enemy shelling, the airport tower collapsed, and it was from it that our defenders could cover the terminals from enemy shelling. ukrainian soldiers continued to heroically

hold the ruins of the tower. russian special forces demanded the defenders lay down their weapons and surrender, but our boys chose to fight. on january 13, more than 250 russian invaders were eliminated. on january 19, the enemy blew up the new terminal for the first time. fierce fighting continued at the airport. after the second explosion, the terminal was completely destroyed. it was on january 20 that 48 ukrainian soldiers died. due to the destruction, the defenders could no longer stay there and withdrew from their position, those who did not wait for the blockade to be released were captured by the russians, where the ukrainians were brutally tortured, only six soldiers under the command of maksym retsanich, callsign adam, continued to be held for another two days without communication the position that was in the fire station between the terminal and the control scale.

we will stand up for our freedom and show that we are cossack brothers, during the 8 months of defense at the donetsk airport, 109 fighters died, half thousands of defenders were injured, the fighting ended after the complete destruction of the old and new terminals, not a single part of the airport remained intact. of clay, the donetsk airport became a symbol of insubordination, and its defenders became entrenched in the nation's memory as cyborgs, people stronger than concrete. back in 2011 , the largest plane in the world, a dream, landed at the donetsk airport. now ukrainians have another common desire to see the flight of the ukrainian dream in the sky

of ukrainian donetsk. good evening, we are from ukraine. i am sure that we still will we will see the flight of the ukrainian dream in the sky of ukrainian donetsk. all ukrainians are sure of this. well, now it's time for news on the big air. the pechersk district court chooses a preventive measure against businessman ihor mazepa and his brother yuriy. meetings have been going on for more than five. one , the prosecutors ask to recognize the ministry of economy as a victim in this case, and mazepa's defenders filed a motion to remove the prosecutor and the judge due to bias . all requests of the lawyers were rejected. the prosecution is asking for an election mazepi is subject to a preventive measure in the form of detention with the possibility of bail in the amount of 700 million hryvnias. let me remind you that the state bureau of investigation detained a ukrainian business on january 18.
