then a 155-caliber projectile arrived, a 155- caliber projectile, that is, a western-style projectile, and at the same time , the flight trajectories of this projectile were examined, if i am not mistaken, it was proved that this shot was fired from the red guard mines, and this is the occupied territory, and today it makes no sense to do such and such provocations with the aim of discrediting ukraine, because any, any means of counter-battery combat, it records where the shot is fired from and where the trajectory of this projectile is headed, we we do not live in the middle ages, this is already a medieval method of making such provocations, but the russians did them with the goal, again , in order to spread even among the western media, among western politicians of a pro-russian direction. here are these narratives

about the fact that there is no need to provide ammunition to the ukrainians because they are shelling the civilian population of donetsk, the so-called dpr, and regarding the a50 and il-22, they really scared the russians by the fact that these planes were shot down and damaged, and they will try all kinds of methods but block transmission to ukraine, respectively. complexes that theoretically could have been used during these shots, but if we are talking about the destruction of these planes, but when we are talking about, for example, what happened in st. petersburg, some energy terminal there, something hit, some about if the object is airborne, it is not directly a weapon of western origin.

they talk about it openly, these are some drone projects that are produced in ukraine, that are produced by the sbu, and of course they distribute among themselves these are the targets on which they strike with the help of their own production of products, and it has nothing to do with the west, but for the russians as well, i see it as... it is possible to create such a thing, create such a distorted threat from ukraine, allegedly for civilians in the russian federation, and precisely for the purpose of discrediting ukraine, i think they will be willing to go to great lengths, and therefore i do not even exclude the fact that some event, some incident with civilians may happen on the territory of the russian federation.

they will be at the civil facility and in this accused , they will blame ukraine itself, because the russians have nothing to oppose , to oppose all long-range weapons , as we can see, we cannot, their air defense is getting weaker and weaker every day, and then i understand that in general the appearance of such means that express so far, well... changes somewhat the general picture of hostilities, theoretically it can happen, yes, of course, this is an influence already beyond the boundaries of the near radio judge, the near rear, because st. petersburg, he remained almost two years a rear city, it was a rear city , but now it is no longer a rear, in fact, if drones that can strike such objects fly there, before that we remember that...

moscow has ceased to be a power city, and then it was the pskov region, everyone remembers the khresty airfield, where, by the way, the il-76 military transport aircraft was destroyed and damaged, and therefore gradually this understanding of the rear zone in russia, well, it loses its significance, because it is this near and middle body zone where they are most important. in matters of logistics, the provision, and even more, i would say , the management of troops and the use, even the effective use of the same tactical aviation, and gradually this body zone, it is disappearing, well, i also see that the power has increased, i would say this carrier itself, because it's one thing to have such a low-power drone that flew in and, in principle, damaged it, but not not... badly, and

it's another thing if the power is such that, in principle, the damage is really critical and requires a long repair, a long time to eliminate it, and this is a completely different reality, judging by everything this also happened, we now have to go to a commercial break for a few minutes, let's go, then we will talk about the actual battlefield, what is happening here on the front line, so wait.

a military-political observer of the information resistance group, and we are also joined by maksym morozov, an officer of the freedom legion, a major of the ministry of internal affairs from near avdiyivka. i congratulate you, mr. maxim. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and that is why we will start from your part of the front, to examine, well, it looks like the most active, well , this is the painful point right now, it is south of avdiyivka, where the russians managed to break through to the tsar's well, it's a restaurant over there, or a hotel complex over there, i don't know what to call it exactly, which has been around for a long time. was changing, now it has been captured , some other positions have been captured nearby, and here, mr. maxim, can you describe, in fact, what the threats may be from this, how dangerous this action is, and, well, how

the situation can develop further, that’s me i understand that it was not the first time they tried to storm there, it was not the first time they even tried to enter there and gain a foothold, well, let's start with the fact that everything is right with your limbs a dialogue or a monologue, everything is correct, and who or what broadcasts i was not on, even before this all, let's say so, rife situation, let's call it that, well, excuse me. because it was i who said that moskal was making attempts to enter the city, absolutely no one hid it, there was no need to make a fuss about it, there were simply attempts to enter from the side of the industrial zone , our defense forces met these dwg, destroyed them, those who managed to leave, the same attempts of the muscovite were to go into kopsokhim, and everyone saw how the muscovite ran to the fence there or i even ran into the factory, well, everyone understood that they were destroyed, now it’s the same... one of the same attempts was to enter the streets of the old old part of the city of

avdiyivka through sadskuta, so accordingly, i wouldn’t make something like that out of it, i don’t know such an infopunp in order to tell that everything is lost, none of the brigade leaders, none of the unit leaders, none of the fighters with whom i communicate, none of the performers with whom i communicate declared. that there is such a critical situation in avdiivka and it is necessary urgently leave, retreat, leave avdiivka , these are all statements of some very painful experts and analysts who are as far from avdiivka as i am from venus, therefore, accordingly, i would not say that this is something so new, and that the enemy is not trying to enter the city, and after this equally unsuccessful attempt, he will not repeat all these actions again, the point is, the only thing is that a little bit ... i will still correct you, the tsava okhota is the center, let's say so, of this avdiiv

front , because the south is already from the survey and below to the sands, this is the southern flank, and this just central to kokssokhim, this is all the center, then it goes north in the direction of berdich and all the way to cheretino, because the enemy does not stop trying from the north through the railway ball, if you enlarge the map there, you will see that there is such a triangle, and from this triangle he is trying to seize the reeds himself, and the logistical route is just as expensive, there is such a levy from this small village, accordingly, there are also huge attempts there, and they are more dangerous, because all these forays into the city that moskal made, they all liquidated, and therefore it cannot be said that now the tsar's will is under the control of the muscovites, i have completely different information, which is a little... not the same as yours, but i will not voice it yet, but i will clearly say that the tsar's okhota is not under

the control of muscovites. ugh. another issue is that the enemy uses a huge amount of stone, that is, if that year av'irka was subjected to a huge blow by the so-called norsemen, then the enemy of muskats realized that the norse defense force cannot be intimidated, that is, it is really a waste-carrying weapon, so it's scary, but all here they got used to them and... they showed the muscovites, let’s say, the middle finger and said where we all have them there, accordingly they drew conclusions from this and began to use cabs very actively, so i would emphasize now not even the attempts of the muscovites to enter in the audience, they are, they will be and they were, that is, these attempts will still be made, and the amount of scabs that they are now releasing around the city, realizing that only by erasing it from the face of the earth, they will be able to somehow... somehow move defense force, it is indeed true, that is, in this short period of this 24th year

there were many more kabyls produced than in the whole of the last 23 years, because there are statistics, and accordingly, if the statistics showed that in the year 23 there was a huge number of novs, then this time they changed to a more destructive weapon, it is the kabyl, again after all, they use the cable to break the only road, that is, there are targeted strikes. on that solid canvas that leads to break it, to make it impossible, or, let's say, to hinder the logistical ways, and tell me how far they are in a state of interest start, if you look at the map again, it goes, well, let's say, when these avdiivkas, or more there, to the west, that is , somehow describe it, avdiivka is not that big, you know how - yes. or like any other regional regional center, but even in this

small town of 30,000 people before a full-scale enemy invasion, well , you have to ask the statistics, because i am afraid to say an inaccurate figure on the air now, but about 500 cabs will be dropped in this month, that is you imagine, it can be more than a dozen cables, that is, the cable is the same an air bomb, only one that plans, and accordingly... it is dropped from the plane and plans, well , as far as i remember, it can plan for more than 25 km, that is, 25 km at maximum altitudes... the plane drops this guided air bomb and she is planning to fly up to the audiivka, the fact that its accuracy is not as high as that of missiles, but the destructive power of these cables is much higher, which is why this is done, to completely destroy buildings from four floors and higher, that is, in ovdiivtsi have four-story houses, nine-story houses and

a 15-type house, yes, that is, all of them are destroyed as possible strongholds of the defense forces. just as curious, they fly to the old part, avdiivkas in search of houses where the defense forces can be located, that is , mortar units, where there may be drones, where there may be infantrymen, and accordingly, these cabs in such a number are designed to destroy all living things, not only defense forces, but the entire city, so it cannot be said that cabs are falling somewhere only around the ninth quarter, cabs are now evenly distributed. let's say so, they are divided and fly throughout the entire territory of the city, this is both the old part and more, let's say, the newer part of it, these are chemists. well, in fact, we even noted in our review that in the last few days, it was already a hundred cabs that fell on avdiivka, that is, it is really enough, the largest number that was shared with

me there, it was 12 cabs in 35 minutes, well... you say that now they use cabs a lot, in addition to cabs, which you also note now, the technique of application, well, that is, in other words, how are they now trying to apply what else ? well again after all, none of their foot attacks there were canceled, that is, they took a certain pause there, i called it, you know, the realization of the musculars that they had lost. the three-month battle that they started in october, and i even said on some channels, i stick to this opinion until now, that moscow lost the battle for the october battle for arniak in the year 23, it does not mean that they do not want a rumble, and it's this number of scabs that shows they've started round number two, that is, if they've been

beaten badly enough in the first round, some say losses of 10 to one, this is in manpower, but in terms of equipment... in general, they suffered huge losses there, about 400 units in three months and by the most modest estimates, yes, that is, they received very a serious knockdown, now they are drawing certain conclusions from this, and that is why they decided to wipe this city off the face of the earth, and that is why they started using such a huge number of kabs that they destroy, and again, these sand attacks are happening, i am not saying that they are meat assaults there, but until... there are enough infantrymen, which are thrown into the assault , which are eliminated by our calculations, which are eliminated by our drones, our operators of unmanned aerial vehicles and devices, and so on, again, the enemy uses attempts to drive in equipment, the enemy also uses in large quantities his unmanned aerial

vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, which fly like orland or hall, again lancets. that is, they are conducting such preparatory work for a new battle, and well, this battle in fact began again precisely with the use of such a huge number of cables, but also other types and types of troops are used, as for whether there are prisoners, so prisoners appeared in our area and the so-called storm z and storm v, again, i am afraid that the number will be wrong now. in numbers, but about 4,000 reserves are estimated to have gathered for the assault on avdiyivka, again the moskalsky tank point formed from scratch approached, where new tanks were also spotted, and again this famous battle of beredli with t-80 showed that

new tanks with this regiment arrived from moscow, and such they will participate in... well, but we, again, like all defense forces, are preparing for this, for this, for this assault. well, yes, from what you say , this is exactly what follows, that perhaps there will be some other larger-scale attempt, such a synchronous assault precisely with the help of equipment, if it has been pulled up and is being conducted now, this is a preliminary shelling with kababs, then actually it works the situation is such that we have to wait for such an intensified assault in the coming days. well, no, he cannot... say in the coming days, again, the plans of the muscovites are unknown and if their conventional concepts, as the famous saying goes, a proverb, and therefore it really is now a huge number of cabs. what will be, what, when this storm will come, we cannot know, but we are preparing, we are preparing bpol operators, we are all defense forces, in principle, they are acting on each on their flank,

what is the southern flank, what is the northern flank, what can we say the center, all the defense forces, in my opinion, are determined to be serious enough to give the muscovites a break, that is , i did not hear or see any panicky mood or panic setting , everyone understands what the threats are, everyone sees these cabs, everyone sees this simply insane activity of their aviation in dropping these cabs, but no one shows even a word that it is necessary to retreat, again, these statements some experts, they only annoy me and other defenders of the avdiivka, regarding the fact that some expert allows himself to declare that the avdiivka should... leave, that there is someone there, that she has already fulfilled some of her role, something else, these statements they only annoying, forces defense and the soldiers who are protecting

ardiivka now, so i would take this opportunity to ask such experts to shut their mouths a little, because they will have to answer for these words, well, i hope we don't have such experts on the air, thank you very much maksym moroz for your joined us and told us what was going on, we wish you success in this. struggle and actually, we hope that everything will turn out in the best possible way. mr. oleksandr, look, mr. maksym told us now about the increase in these same kabama attacks, and we know that, for example, such attacks by kabama in the krynyk area were managed to be slightly reduced after the plane was shot down there, but how much, well, you know, the theoretical probability that something like this... could happen in the avdiyivka area, as far as it is theoretically possible there pull something close to the front to allow, well, to achieve the

same effect. well, anything can happen, actually. the fact is that in order to drop the cab, the plane, indeed, it is outside the range of action, for example, the complexes of a small radius of action, outside the range of action. manpads, as well as some types average radius of action. so, the plane must be at an altitude of 15 km. the maximum that front -line bombers, interceptors, fighters can afford , i’m sorry, is the su-34, and it must also come from the flight distance of the kabu, depending on what kind of block in the ipc, what type of modification and what kind of bomb 250. or fap-500, it can have a flight distance of up to 30 km to 40 km, because its weight affects the flight range and

exactly what type of ompk is used, but approximately it is calculated like this, from 30 to 40 km, so one way or another he will have to go to the location to drop this bomb, although outside of the low and medium radius, but within the ... large radius, well, for example, 100 km, 160 km, ah, that's it the functionality of complexes with a large radius of action, and in the case of the left-bank kherson region, bombs were dropped not over the cheplyna to strike the right bank, but also in the area of ​​the wells, much closer, but these aircraft were destroyed by the tsu-34 precisely over her cheplyna, and therefore. .. i do not rule out that something like this can happen in the avdiivka area, although, again still, it cannot be on a permanent basis. on the other hand, regarding the increase in the number

of strikes by kabam, it should be noted here that the russians have reduced their presence on the left bank, their aviation and the use of kabam to a minimum, almost to zero, i would even say so, but this ammunition, this boeza. they redistribute redistribute between other groups of troops, between other bridgeheads, and also the influence on avdiivka is now so intense, it is connected with the fact that they have freed up a resource, which they distribute to avdiivka as well. well not only on avdiivka, actually in the kupyansk direction as well, as far as i can see, the number has now increased and it already looks like this, you know, as if it were a stream. at the moment, this is an element of their tactical actions in general, that is, they are now working as cabals in the kupyansk and avdiyivka area, they have now

increased the number of armored vehicles there. they are starting to storm there again and there and there and , judging by everything, these are the two biggest directions where they apply all this, and where they are now, judging by everything, preparing for some such bigger actions, well, i don't i don't seem to know how much you would agree with this opinion, no, it's true because there are correspondingly fortified areas, there are correspondingly large amounts of buildings that need to be destroyed in order to progress further, for example, if we're talking about avniaka, well , this is the same principle that...were in bakhmut, because there were many floors in bakhmut, they played the role of firing positions, and these were heights that allowed to keep the russian invaders at a distance. when all the high -rise buildings were completely destroyed in bakhmut, it was much more difficult to succeed keep russian waves, storm waves outside the city and in the city itself, and therefore.

they are trying to do the same in avdiyivka, there are not many high-rise buildings, but they are there, and they play the role of the heights themselves, they are also trying to completely destroy them, level them with the ground, and besides everything else, along kupyansk, they are fortified there, especially near senkivka, against which they are trying to use cabs in this location, and certainly in kupyansk itself as well, but do we know where they actually use these planes from? that is, where are they from... these planes take off, in principle, if we are even talking about, well, the kupinsky direction, it is from the airfields of the belgorod region, if we are talking about the avdiivskyi direction, it can be airfields from the rostov region, also military ones, by the way, one of these drones flew to one of these airfields in 2023, and then several su-34x were damaged. uh, that's why

in fact all these locations are known, so they sometimes relocate them depending on what the combat task is, where to fly to, but these locations are all known, well , let's hope that somehow these locations are not only known, but also will be reachable in the near future, well, actually, if you were trying to predict the further development of events, what would you first pay attention to, and also, by the way, speaking of it, there was a meeting. there is still a meeting to be held in ramstein in february, what should we pay the most attention to, given what is happening on the battlefield? i think that's something that's being looked at all the time, so it's supply artillery, this is the supply of the necessary amount of ammunition, this is again an issue with air defense, a very important issue is not only the amount of ammunition, but also, in addition to everything else, this is a question...

of the number of artillery units, the supply of artillery itself, as a barrel, and reactive, and i hope that the west is getting closer with each step to making a decision to allow ukraine to use western missile weapons on the territory of the russian federation. well, it, it, yes, it would be a major decision, even with looking at these conversations that we were having now regarding planes, cabs and... the possibility of russian front-line aircraft operating without the possibility of hitting this aircraft at airfields that are actually not far away, which are not so far from the front line, well, it is very difficult to solve this issue. thank you, oleksandr kovalenko, our time is up, i remind you about our collection for the 141st brigade, there are different, different all kinds, there irations, batteries, sterling, everything, you
