he was caught by law enforcement officers at the moment when he was going to the world economic forum in davos, well, if you read such a professional biography of mr. ihor mazepa, at least for the last 20 years, it is very clear that this person in finance still understands how to attract these investments, how the market works, what the currency is like there, how to attract traders to the ukrainian market, that is, there is an understanding, probably much... more than that of serhiy lishchenko, who went to this forum in davos and there appeared his photos, but here is another thing: in parallel with this detention, rostyslav shurma came out, who seems to be engaged in economic policy in the office of the president of ukraine, without having any legal authority to do so, because i remind you that this person is not the minister of economy, is not the minister of finance , that is, it has nothing to do with the government.

more, moreover, we did not elect this person in any elections, so he represents some economic interests of ukraine and travels to the united states of america, to berlin and to other cities where something was decided about how much money to give to ukraine for reconstruction is absolutely illegal, and this person, just today there was a statement, she is very sincerely worried about rosyslav shurma, that investments will be found in ukraine. they say we cannot attract investors, because it is very inconvenient for investors to travel to ukraine on these interstate ukrzaliznytsia trains, but if we had boryspil airport, then investors would come here in droves. apparently, mr. shurma came up with a new scheme to launder some money at boryspil airport, and he is absolutely not interested in investors, so that investors are not interested in e. airports, if

they are interested in investing money in ukraine, they will come here at least on airships, even on parachutes, but when they see that the head of a large investment company is taken and not allowed to the world economic forum, ah , they pull out a case that is more than 10 years old, they say that this person robbed the ukrainian budget the most, it looks a little alarming and inadequate. moreover, a very interesting such... comment appeared today, if i'm not mistaken, on the censor website that the office the president of ukraine is now very actively looking for where to get money, because they failed to deceive the west again and ask them to give money just for beautiful eyes, so it is obvious that we are living the story that was the late yanukovych, when yanukovych and arbuzov, in particular, they tried to ticket all the businesses that were working in ukraine at that time. unfortunately, i can state that we

are living through the era of yanukovych, but now we must pay tribute to the yanukovych of the old formation, there were more or less intelligent people who knew at least how to turn these schemes beautifully for the general public, so that the ukrainian people would not even suspect that someone was playing there, well , they did not finish the way they did, if there were people who were really there then it is also, it is just like arbuzov and his friend

we have to finish our program, during our program we conducted a survey, we asked you about whether the russian rebellion threatens the putin regime. so, 29% of those who took part in the television survey think so, 71%, no. we put an end to this, i wish everyone have a good weekend, take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on monday at 20, goodbye. greetings, i'm olga len, these are chronicles of military operations. first of all, i remind you that the lespresso tv channel is currently collecting kamikaze drones for the 93rd mechanized brigade, the cold yar warriors need kamikaze drones in sufficient numbers, they can stop almost any ... attack on

any assault in a matter of minutes the enemy, so join in, please, for this collection, 5 million hryvnias are needed, as of now collected 800 thousand, so we still have one , well, a big big one to do the work, but it is very important, there are no small donations here , any donation will be appropriate, it will be welcomed, so please take a look , here are all the data, please join next, let's take a quick look at the battle map , and then talk about what 's going on here. map of military operations for the period of january 10-17, 2024. the zso broke a window into the crimea on the front of the calm before the storm. the occupiers increased the number of their troops on the territory of ukraine to 462,000. this indicates that after the failed first phase of the autumn-winter offensive, they are preparing

to start a new one. over the course of a week , the number of combat clashes dropped significantly to 30-40 per day along the entire front. accordingly, the front line has practically not undergone any changes. instead, on january 15-16, the number of fights increased several times to 90-100 fights. mostly in the eastern part, as well as in the area of ​​the robotynsky ledge. the offensive of the armed forces of the russian federation in luhansk region. for many months, the rashist offensive on kupyansk has not been able to move from the deadlock near synkivka. at the same time, it is somewhat more oriental near may day, the invaders had a counteroffensive. zso managed to recapture the dominant heights near yai. the most intense fighting continued in the area of ​​kremina, in particular, the russians managed to break through several hundred meters east of bilogorivka. at the same time, their attacks on the village of thorns in the direction of liman crashed against our defensive redoubts. heavy counter-battles continue in the silver forest. it is obvious

that the enemy intends to knock out the ukrainian army on the other side of the seversky dinets and advance further to siversk. the eastern front, bakhmud, avdiivka and ugledar. the schists resumed the assault bohdanivka to reach the northern outskirts of chasovoy yar. they also rushed to ivanivske and klischiivka with new strength, but the defense forces repelled all attacks. in addition, the enemy resumed the offensive between the villages of vesele and spirne, north of bakhmut. thus, they want to try to create a threat to siversk again, attacking it from all sides. the main direction of avdiivtsi's attack was aimed at the village of stepove, where the russians carried out a dozen assaults with counterattacks. as a result, there was also an attempt to enter avdiivka itself with a tank attack explosively unsuccessful. attempts to advance west from maryinka in the direction of georgiivka also failed. the only part of the front that the enemy can still claim as an asset is the territory south of novomykhailivka. here, the occupiers expanded it by

several square kilometers to the west of the village of solodke. however , the long-expected large-scale attack on ughledar has not yet taken place. the front boiled again. active hostilities resumed in zaporozhye. the armed forces of the russian federation are trying to cut down robotic performance that the armed forces of ukraine broke through enemy defenses in the summer. currently, the defense forces receive an area of ​​10 by 10 km. however, the occupiers shoot it well from all sides, so it is very difficult for our guys there. in a week , the rashists managed to move the front line several hundred meters west of the village of verbove. at the same time, in the staromai district, our military managed to improve the tactical position and push back the invaders to the southwest of the village. the armed forces break a window into crimea. rare a50 long-range radar detection aircraft shot down and damaged il-22 air control center became one of the most successful operations of the armed forces. it is quite

likely that the destruction of several radar stations on the western coast of the peninsula near the airfield in novofedorivka a week earlier was a preparation for this unique operation. one way or another, the defense force forced the a-50 and its air retinue to approach the front line as dangerously as possible, at a distance of almost 90, 100 km, this allowed the armed forces of ukraine to strike somewhere in the middle and hit the plane, which, according to experts, russia has no more than five left, and maybe only two. in this way, the occupiers lost the opportunity to uninterruptedly control the entire section of the front from kupyansk to kherson... there were even more holes in their defense, especially near the western coast of crimea. therefore, our bridgeheads near krynkiv will now annoy the enemy even more, because later it can turn into a place from where the liberation of the crimean peninsula will begin. missile attack, new trends in the sky over ukraine. a new missile

attack on january 13 took place with the same with the same interval as the previous one after 5 days. the missile component contained 12 ballistic missiles, 18 cruise missiles and 13 guided air missiles. our pepe. shot down eight cruise missiles and one guided aircraft, at the same time , almost 20 missiles that we did not shoot down did not hit any targets, as they were neutralized by means of countermeasures. several recently made missiles were spotted in the fields of the krasnodar territory, presumably the successful use of missiles could be a turning point in the air war in ukraine. we win daily, death to enemies. so, you see, the activation of the enemy continues in many areas of the front, and apparently some further offensive actions are being prepared, now we will talk about this in more detail with our guest, this is ivan stupak, a military expert, an employee of the sbu, from 2000 to 2015 , congratulations to you, mr. ivan, congratulations, congratulations, thank you for inviting you, yes,

i will warn you right away, we may be interrupted, because we are waiting for the statement of the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleb from davos, let's see, oh, that's how i see it , this is, well, actually what they are waiting for, yes, mr. ivan, let's start here, literally from the end, namely from the defeat , this here... two planes, one this a50, which performs at once such radio monitoring and not only control, and il-22, in fact, the command post is, you know, let’s let's start right away with the consequences of this, that is , after these two ships were shot down, what, what we can see closest. at times, how will it ultimately affect the hostilities and the possibility of the russians attacking our

territory, i.e., what could be the result of this? yes, okay, let's start from the other end a little bit, and what are they going to do now the russians, of course, they spread the story that it was their own work of their own anti-aircraft defense, that is, well, on the other hand, on the one hand , oblique, crooked, on the other hand, which was accurate, which... hit, unfortunately, its own, but hit it, you see, and the bastards will fly, this whole story was made with one big goal, to somehow secure, or rather to convince the russian pilots, that on the ukrainian side, the ukrainians have nothing to hit you with, only the owner of the air defense system, but not pay attention, we will solve something there later, forget it about him, this is one side, what they are actively doing now, they are actively getting, ah, trying to get to the wreckage of that plane, which has already crashed 50 times, in order to get

important information from it, which is a big secret for the russians, so that the ukrainians or, for example, the nato countries did not receive information before, this is the first time, secondly, they take out from the plane that was damaged because it arrived the debris of missiles, the table of the dead, the table of the wounded from the fuselage in order to analyze and understand what it was, that it flew, it... was from the sky flew in, or did it fly from the ground, to find out in different ways exactly where the launch was, if it was from the air, then in which area, if it was from the ground, then in which area, to open the black boxes in these planes, everything look at the telemetry where the hit took place, which is a lot, a lot of work, but they will do it quickly to find out what needs to be done to prevent this from happening in the future, imagine, it's a dark room, and when you go in there , you don't know if there is a floor. are there walls, is there water here, i don't know, is it a desert, are there poisonous animals here, or

will they hit you there, that is how the russians feel now, that is why they now have to carry out a large complex of actions, they are working on this now, what they cannot do now, this plane, it was, these eyes, these eyes, they were in the air, they saw over the horizon, they saw the launches of ukrainian planes, ukrainian missiles, ukrainian air defense, they all saw how it works, how far, excuse me for interrupting, how far could he see it? so look, but there are according to the declared characteristics, they are called 700 - 800 km, some of our militarist publics put under sad, they say no more than 200, but wait a second, the plane was actually shot down at a greater distance, in your broadcast it was indicated about 200 km from the front line, that is, no longer a beach, well, how come it only works along the front line, well let's take the average figure, let it be 500, not 800, that is, he saw our planes fly in depth. how are they preparing for the launches, and could they have warned on the ground that, oh, planes are flying towards you, here they are launching ukrainians,

now get ready, roughly crimea, for example, i know sakas, dzhankoi, whatever, now there is no such possibility, although there are rumors that the russians have pulled up a new a50, but when they say that it costs up to 500 million dollars a unit, never count russian money, well, the russians don't count it and you don't, well... please, this is a futile matter, look at the crew, there was really a very experienced, trained crew here, they are such jewelers in the air, who simply cannot be trained, there are no conditional buryats. in yakutia, we got 500 of these people, but how the tankers were put there and they left. no, it won't work like that, it's at least 5 years of education, at least at least 5 years of practical work, look at these people, they are already 40 plus, that is, i think that they also have 15-20 years of practical work, and actually, you already started

to say a little regarding the fact that it is a big mystery for the russians, what could it be? to be, well, colleagues from defense express, for example, created such a map that if it was there, for example, an anti-aircraft missile system, a patriot, then it should be right under orikhov, let's not, for sure, try to convince the russians there that it was actually there, that's right, yes, but what's interesting is a little different, you see, this is exactly the map that shows where it would be. it shouldn't have been, but the more distant consequences are interesting , for example, there is something that can strike in this radius, does this mean that now, well, they will somehow be afraid to fly not only this type of aircraft, but maybe others we can feel some, that is, the consequences of such a plan, it is unlikely, maybe it will be for a certain

period of time, for example, a week, two, one and a half, until they figure it out, but work is needed... we need planes to fly in the air, by the way , our military say that after the destruction of this a50 plane, significantly reduced in the direction of the wells, the arrival of cabs, guided aerial bombs, that is, the plane that carries this bomb, imagine it, on the highway, and you just instantly fly into the fog and you do not see what is in front of you , that's how much headlight light is enough, that's how you see ahead, the same with such an airplane, it has absolutely limitations. radius of action, he sees a small area in front of him in circles, and this a50 helped him see, look there, there is such a threat ahead, such a threat, that is, he saw behind this plane, and our military says that these planes have become an order of magnitude smaller, they are operating somewhere in other directions, now they do not appear, but sooner or later they will appear in the air again, they will be there, because

it is necessary to control the ukrainian airspace, it is necessary to secure it, and maybe, as an option, they will strengthen in... if we called the nuts, well, once again, we assume, we don't know anything, it's just our guesses like you, maybe there they will strengthen their work with lancets, it is such an infection, excuse me, the kamikaze drone, which can fly 40 km deep, plus new versions have already appeared, it can fly up to 70 km deep, i think that it is possible, in this way they will try to patrol that area of ​​nuts behind the canopy and detect maybe.. .. we have already started talking a little here about the fact that the russians , well, this is about another topic, as if more broadly, regarding their intentions to intensify offensive actions,

you know what, well, at least i noted for myself that there is no such thing now, you know, povo, that is where they attack first, there. now it seems that the russians are trying to attack at once in several places and somehow more or less synchronously. is it related to the weather, or is it related to the fact that it is now such, well, such will be the tactics of the russians, such a course of action. here's how you evaluate any predictions about this, here's how we can expect any offensive there or attempts by the russians. yes, look, i'm sure that the russian, well, we already are. it was said before, well, it is necessary to note once again, the russians have intentions, they need to achieve military results, and the sooner, the better for them, it will be more effective in the form of some kind of incentives, titles, stars , in addition, they are under a lot of pressure from the political power of the kremlin, they are also under pressure there, because the

more the boss, the dictator putin, is satisfied, the better it will be for them, i.e. 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 they will maneuver, that is, they will look for easy places, they will push, and that's the audio for them the idea is fixed, because it has already been more than half-encircled for several months, and it seems, well, what is there already, well, they pushed it a little , let's make a result already, that is, this is the result that you can, as it were, touch it but he doesn't give up, when the big invasion started, he was probably one of the first to break through to us in the dungeon, it was... denis was among those

brave people who met this challenge with open eyes, in the end, a tragedy happened, frankly speaking tragedy, he left life young, working for the state, jewelry... flying forward to our victory, i congratulate you, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached the serpent himself. the following shots may shock you. news from the place. live actions of kamikaze drone attacks , political analysis objectively and meaningfully, there is no political season, exclusive

interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front, svobodalai's shot frankly and impartially, you draw your own conclusions. verdict with serhii rudenko, now in a new two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests: foreign experts, inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback, you can express your opinion on the bad day with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and turn on, the verdict with serhiy rudenko, every weekday from 20 to 22 at espresso. well , we continue the conversation with ivan stupak, a military expert, an employee of the sbu. 2004-2015, and leonid polyakov joined us, he is a senior lieutenant of the zso, an officer to the legion of freedom, freedom

, he has joined us now from the kupyansk-limansk direction, congratulations, gentlemen, once again, congratulations, congratulations to the studio, congratulations to the company, that's why we will immediately start the conversation with what is actually happening in this kup in the yan-liman direction, because there it has become more active in... especially in the direction of the siverskyi donets and the zherebets river, which flows into the siverskyi donets, in several areas in this area the enemy is trying to break through the front, it seems that such actions are taking place in the direction of otplvashchanka on makiivka, where the russians are trying to get right up to the zherebets river and the makiivka-nevsky road, and there they even managed to advance in the western direction with such a little wedge, well, the enemy actually attacked all over there. duzimakiv, kanevske, terne, yampolivka, in addition, further south, from the zarichne forest, in the serebryan forestry, further south in

the area of ​​bilogorivka, there is also activity there, mr. leonid, then you tell us how exactly where you are, what you have now the peculiarities of this activity of the russians, how it can differ from what was and actually, what due to this activity, maybe you can? to say, i will say for the part of the front where i find it, precisely in the direction of senkivka, it is here that the enemy established a rather serious shock fist, which consisted, first of all, of the landing brigade of the moscow army, also this... motorized rifle brigade and the ninth separate artillery brigade of the moscow army, there

are also a large number of detachments used here, and what about more or less prepared units, such as airborne units. and also motorized rifle units, motorized rifle brigades, they are used for flanking attacks, and they are trying to advance in this way to the route that goes from tsinkivka, to kupinsk node, according to kupinsk, here the matter is that we have had captures from the very same storm z detachments, also some prisoners from other units. so, by the new year, they had a task, if not to completely capture the entire kupinsky kupynskoholovy, because there is

a rather serious transport hub there. this is the railway, because it is for logistics, the moscow army uses the railway, and they had such plans before the new year, but as my brother from the avdiiv direction, and also from the freedom region, recently spoke, these plans for the new year failed, and now in... they will the task of capturing kupinsk and avdiivka as much as possible, at least before the presidential elections in moscow? well, even i see all kinds of russian military experts there note that in the senkivka area they somehow do not succeed and somehow advance there, something also seems to be impossible, i understand that mr.

leonid, it's pretty good there. you still beat them, well, because we don't sit still either, our reserves were also drawn up, but the fact is, the fact is that forces were drawn here from other directions, for example, and the 25th airborne brigade itself, it was pulled up from the kherson direction, that 's where krynyk is now, these settlements. because somehow they also need to replenish their reserves, i.e. fresh more or less trained brigades, because right now the strategic goal for the near future, so to speak, lies with them the forces that were thrown most of all on avdiivka and kupinsk, well, partly there on bakhmut, but on bakhmut now there are, according to my brothers, again from the legion of freedom,

more or less than a thousand. ugh. tell me, are they now widely using equipment, or are they some kind of foot assaults in such small groups? what does it look like now? the fact is that last week, the weather was right there, yes, there were frosts up to -15-20, and now, when the weather has started to be positive, of course, the advancement of technology is complicated. and, as practice shows, again, this is practice and winter companies on the same bakhmut and the practice, again , of the same kherson region, that when it is not possible to advance with heavy equipment, they actively use infantry units, well , as an example, it was wagner, so razikitom from wagner, something similar, this takes place now in storm z because they are there too.

zekiv, well, the main part, so to speak, well , tell me, well, since it is expected to cool down there again, again to drop to minus 15°, it is obvious that we can expect some kind of such in your area in connection with this activation, well, at least at the end of this , at the beginning of next week, i guess you are also somehow preparing for this more or less, well... when there were frosts, so to speak, they used tanks, so as for the artillery, of course the artillery works around the clock, yes , because the tactics are as follows, that is, the storm z units are moving in the front of the attack, our servicemen are attacking them, yes, after that, the so-called fire shaft is coming, already from the flanks... from

the flanks, they are trying to advance more- less prepared units, well, again, with using the same drones, there are lancets, fpv, it's already, well, it's no longer news to anyone. thank you, thank you, mr. leonid, for joining us, thank you for being able to tell us something. we hope, we wish you success there and, well, to withstand all this rush. mr. ivan and i will continue this conversation. mr. ivan, that is, well... we can really expect an increase in attempts right now, because there is a concentration of russian equipment in the kupyansk direction on avdiivsk, even there somewhere in the area of ​​the coal mine there is a concentration, it is possible expect a little cooling and this technique will be used, well, it is difficult to say, it can be used in any direction where the russians will believe that there are prospects, for example, that there
