the rest of our population, so the situation in the country in general is not simple. bakhmut. perhaps you have some additional information about bakhmut. so we understand that the enemy is activated there. to put it mildly, the fighting continues, the fighting is tough, but druzhkivka is not far from bakhmut. share, be kind, maybe more news. yes, the grater is really in several, well, 15-20. everything depends on where to measure from where, from where. now you're showing footage of the destroyed city, uh, bakhmut, very, very much it's a pity to see all this, i often visited bakhmut, i saw the development of this city, starting from 2015, 16, 17 years, after we were released, we, i repeat, in the 14 years were surrounded , and parks and olympic bases were built in bakhmut.

of the sports reserve for donetsk athletes, now everything is turned into ruins and everything else that concerns the military unit, extremely fierce battles are going on on the right of the watchman, the enemy is trying to reach the heights that are now ours for now, and you have to understand, i and six months and a year and a half ago said that chasovyar is the highest point, the highest place in the donetsk region, from which there is a full line of sight to... sloviansk, kramatorsk, drushkkivka and kostiantynivka. now slovyansk, drushkivka, kramatorsk are simply under such tension, but kostiantynivka is under constant artillery fire, i emphasize artillery fire, not rocket fire, here it is no longer rocket fire, here the artillery has started working. as for the mood of our guys, the mood is fighting, guys, those with whom i communicate are professional sausage drivers, they leave all the time, well, on a rotating basis.

are holding the defense, i already said that one of the bits after our indisputable victory, it will be just crazy mining, the war is going on now along some paths, along paths, along some small roads, because everything else is mined, and it is mined daily from drones, like by our armed forces to protect the cities that i have listed, and by the russians, so this is another problem that will be speed... our area after victory, and what is the approximate depth of mining and in general, how densely the enemy is trying to mine, well, we understand that they also have a limited number of drones, you know, mining, the density of mining, well, look between the contact line from 1.5 km there to 5700 m, and this whole area is completely mined.

there are some trails left for going out for observation, for that too, but everything is completely mined, and it is mined without the use of means that will later show where it was mined, it is simply scattered from lancets, petals are scattered that cause significant damage to people, they don't kill, well maybe of course, and such a situation happens, they tear it off hands, limbs, etc., density. mining is terrible and mr. antimi, i would like to touch on another topic in this regard, in the life of the donetsk region, the topic of the functioning of the civilian population and small businesses, because strange things happen in our region, those entrepreneurs who have adapted to work under constant fire, they now begin to bear the same tax burden as the rest, the rest

of the enterprises that work on the territory of ukraine. we are not asking for tax breaks, we are not asking to be exempted from taxes, but there are such things as, for example, property tax, and we all understand that most, most of this property, in one way or another, is already destroyed, we have always paid taxes, i am also an entrepreneur, we are always ten years old paid these taxes, and now we are not talking about compensation, it is clear that... we will build and rebuild after the war, well, now we have to raise the issue of exemption from local taxes, land taxes, property taxes, those entrepreneurs, who are investing in business now, well, there is a field of services is developing, rebuilding, now, by the way, the kramatorsk machine-building plant is starting to restart certain lines and even furnaces for smelting steel, i think that...

i am sure, more precisely, that your program is being watched, maybe the authorities, the authorities at all levels are watching , and i am appealing, as a member of the local council, to those who can make a decision about... exemption from taxation of at least local taxes of people who are working now, putting in, well, the last money, supporting, you understand that all this is set up in one way or another on support of the armed forces of ukraine. mr. mykola, there is not even a single doubt at all, the only thing i would like to ask you is that you gather like-minded people and formalize your proposals in writing, no matter how this model is. should look like, well, we understand that even our officials, they have hearts and understand how , for example, the work of an entrepreneur in the kyiv region differs from the work of an entrepreneur somewhere 20 km from bakhmut, that is, there are two big differences, well and accordingly, here is my appeal, i think that my colleagues are journalists

you are supported, and accordingly, this information will still reach the proper way through its dissemination, and finally, when we talk about all these problems, and there is no fact of the facts, that the fiscal is undermining the local business, well, you know, i myself faced that, for example, one of the companies that i look after, it is removed from the single tax, that is, we are now transferring to the general taxation system, new taxes are being added, try, and the transfer happened in an inexplicable way without ... notification, try now withstand, receiving these acts, why this happened, does not lead to anything, and the state must understand that those who are currently working in any field, i will tell you, detect, for example, seversk without, what a gradation, how

quickly the situation changes from the front line, 5 km from the front line, seversky without electricity, heating and gas, the paradise of oleksandrivka village, well... well, such a great village, it already has light, the distance from the front line is 10-12 km, can you imagine, children constantly pulls wires there, at least turns on electricity so that people can pump water through wells and somehow warmed up, a little further 25-30 km business starts to work even more actively, 30 km kramatorsk, druzhkivka, slavensk we work, we work, but you can imagine in what conditions, so i completely... agree with the fact that a general request should be made , maybe through our tv channel, yours, in order for the authorities to react to the situation that is now in the frontline, with frontline business. thank you, mr. mykola, for this honest and extremely important conversation, we

were contacted by mykola dovbnya, a member of the druzhkivka city council, drushkivka is a city not far from bakhmut. informative continues. tv channel, i will inform you about all the most important things, and accordingly, now my colleague serhiy zgurets will analyze the most important things from what is called the military results of the day. glory to ukraine, and congratulations to you, congratulations to our viewers, today we will talk about what happened on the front line during the week, about the battles around avdiyivka, on other areas of the front, about strikes by our long-range drones on oil terminals near st. petersburg and about that... wreckage was found in kyiv a north korean ballistic missile shot down by our air defense system. more on that in a moment. well, the informational

evening of the espresso tv channel continues. serhiy gurts sums up the military results of the day. even for a week, that's how serhii zgurets makes up, and i only slightly assist him. well, that's it. the news that arrived today, yes, from the defense forces of southern ukraine. so, over the past day , the enemy on the left bank of the dnieper has lost two guns, a tank, five vehicles , and the enemy is unable to move of our soldiers, and vice versa, the general staff received information today that a certain expansion of the bridgehead is underway, we understand how important this bridgehead is on the left bank of the dnieper, in the kherson region. sergey, please tell me what and what are the prospects , what do you think is happening there now, well, in fact, the general staff regularly reports in its reports that the bridgehead is being expanded, although in fact we understand that the bridgehead is such, well, the situation, when our troops can move without threat to movement,

in fact, it is rather not a plazdarm, but the maintenance of certain areas on the left bank of the dnieper, the main one is near the well, and in the very one. boxes where the enemy has been trying to squeeze out our marines for a long time and the consequence of such squeezing is the colossal losses of the enemy in manpower and... equipment, if you look at the area around the wells or satellite images from above, there are at least 200 units of armored vehicles, which was destroyed due to the work of our artillery and our drones, because relatively speaking, artillery from the right bank is such a protective umbrella for our marines who hold this section of the front, we understand that it is extremely difficult now, but a number of tasks are being solved, it is precisely securing the legal... bank from enemy fire, restraining a certain number of enemy personnel

who receive a certain grouping and does not transfer to other areas of the front, and the actual destruction of the enemy’s manpower and armor, and here and there the most promising approaches with the work of our drones are used, there are good ones technical developments that are currently being tested, which allow, firstly , to minimize the effectiveness of russian fidrons, and... secondly, to deeply destroy the manpower of the enemy, which he is trying to raise in order to, well, displace our marines. pozdarom remains important, difficult, but it is very important that there be a balance between political interests, the vision of this pozdarom and the real capabilities of our troops, then use these, well, expected capabilities, well, it is meant, whether we will have enough reserves in order to develop... this direction, that's right, this direction is extremely difficult to develop, it is necessary to ensure the transfer of forces and resources, it is

extremely difficult, especially now, when the weather there changes, the river freezes there, sometimes it doesn't it freezes, when these boats of ours have difficulty moving there, and even then drones are used as the main element of logistical support, when water, ammunition, other things are thrown over to our marines, and actually the mines are completely destroyed, there was a conversation with one marine an infantryman and says that i am sitting in this house, it is completely destroyed. it is extremely difficult to find one more area in order to gain a foothold, in these conditions our soldiers heroically hold the defense of the enemy's wax force. robotyn novoprokopivka, in particular, it is about a certain knocked-out tooth in the defense of the enemy on the zaporizhia front, on the zaporizhia sector of the front. well, accordingly , we understand that the battles were going on there, are going on and most likely it will be very tense there even now, but the enemy tried to counterattack there. in district of novoprokopivka. both novoprokop'ivka and the robot production area are constantly counter-attacking there from both sides. it seems

that the situation on the map does not change, but there was good news that just from verbovoi to the west, in a section with a width of 1001 km and a depth of 400 m, our military moved the enemy, well, within the limits of one forest strip, because 400 m - this is exactly the area between the forest strips. this suggests that... uh, despite the enemy's efforts to ensure pressure from the flanks on this pocket of ours, which bites into the russian defense, the situation dynamic, and now this week we have such changes in our favor. so what, i would like to comment now on the recent statement of the russian fuehrer. so, today i will quote interfax. the length of the contact line is what putin calls the front line above. there are 617,000 members

of the group in the combat zone, earlier there was information about half a million 460, well, plus or minus, here putin announced: there are 617 thousand russian interventionists in the combat zone. indeed , this is somewhat new and strange information for me, because relatively speaking, at the previous press conference putin said that we have 500,000 personnel there , after which there was... information from our main intelligence agency, which said that the number of troops in our occupied territory, the number of enemy troops is 462, plus 35 of these rotsgvards, that is, within , well, up to 500. now, for some reason, putin is raising the bar for occupiers who are on our territory, but he is taking a section of the front within 200 km, that is, as i understand it, the section that now passes the border between russia and ukraine just to the north, i.e in general. well, it turns out to be 200 km, although the hottest collision zone is within

850 km, in any case, we understand that the number of enemy troops has increased significantly over the last few years there after the large-scale invasion, because the enemy started with 180 00, 180, and now , according to our intelligence, we have up to 500 there, and the front line has actually shrunk to this area of ​​850 de ... now it is extremely difficult to carry out offensive actions, and now we have a horn that will actually go under the slogan of active defense, when we get the front line and using optimal opportunities, we will carry out offensive actions, because it makes no sense to go into blind defense, it is dangerous, but the realization of active defense, where we lure the enemy and take offensive actions that result in

a significant number of enemy casualties, that is what will be implemented this year, hopefully with increased assistance from the west... in ammunition and armed, because it is now becoming an urgent issue that, to be honest, inhibits the activity of our troops in certain directions. well, let’s now cross the eastern front line, avdiyivka, in particular there was a kind of, well, semi-legendary story, an attack through a pipe, yes, by russian interventionists, well, and accordingly, marinka and novomykhaivka, let’s go, well, these are two sections, then, but in fact now they . are the most active, because near marinenka, novomykha, in particular , there were no more clashes today than near avdiivka, there, in particular, there were 26 maryanka, nomikhailivka, and 15 - avdiivka, but avdiivka now, systemically, such a more tense element of the front is happening, because what is happening, in fact,

are the situations, the enemy's efforts, which were at the beginning ... from october last year to ensure attacks from the north and from the south there on the steppes on the north, in order to ensure covering the encirclement of our command, they did not lead to anything, and these attempts to close the northern and southern ticks did not cause logistics complications, the supply line through orlivka works and is quite effective, despite the fact that the enemy is trying... and shelling, but now we have a story when the enemy carried out and is carrying out frontal attacks, in particular near the tsar's camp, it was a populated recreation complex that has been sufficiently well fortified since the 14th year, and on the 17th, events took place when before that, the enemy used, let's say, the effect of military

surprise, which had an effect, that is, in fact , they... for a certain time cleared a tunnel that passes under the tsar's will and then exits behind our positions, the tunnel there is up to 2 km long, width 1 .5 m, and they are enough for a long time it was cleared, this mud, mud, and on the 17th they made an exit to the surface, it was not no... a surprise for our military , the enemy took advantage of this surprise and part of the positions were just lost and the enemy then tried to move along by this building

, along these three sports cathedral streets in the direction of avdiyivka , from the 20th counterattacks of our brigades 10-16 began . the enemy lost those the positions he captured due to surprise, but all the same, this area remains extremely difficult, the fighting on the cathedral, sports, on these streets in the buildings there continues, and there were even periods when immediately after this unexpected attack, when the enemy made his way to ... the quarter of the ninth quarter is actually the southern part of avdiyivka, where there are buildings nine stories high, and in fact, if the enemy were to gain a foothold there, it would translate into the format of hostilities, hostilities in the urban area, that's enough dangerous scenario because relatively speaking, when we now have an advantage from the point of view of the use of drone and artillery approaches there, and the loss of the enemy was 1:10 in

attempts to enter avdiivka, then in the city format. buildings, usually the ratio of losses is one to one, and this scenario is not one that suits us, and so i understand that now there is a strengthening of our units, the dynamics around this royal desire remain complex, it is difficult to make predictions, because in any in this case, any factor can affect both our events and the actions of the enemy, but we understand that... the holding of avdiyivka is even more important than the holding of bakhmut at the time, because avdiyivka is close to donetsk, that is, the enemy uses donetsk as such a base hub for ... raising forces and so on, and actually the enemy will now try to press further precisely because of frontal actions from the south in

the direction of avdiivka. well, serhiy, i would like to ask you about the prospects or the danger from the enemy of developing their offensive in the north of avdiyivka, yes, in particular the direction of novobakhmutivka and ocheretyn. so we understand that in this way he would like maybe. to achieve two goals at once, i.e. to drive the avdiiv grouping of our troops, so to speak, a longer logistical pipe, on the other hand, maybe they would like to accumulate their forces there in order to try to break through further. well, in fact, there is such a threat, but we understand that now the threat exists around the entire perimeter of avdiivka, we understand that it is already the fourth month there, actually this half... the arc around avdiivka, it is hot, but i repeat, closing these ticks doesn't happen when we talk about about the north of tampov, novo-bakhmutivka and

so on, the enemy's attempts to move to the north, indeed, as you rightly say, this is an attempt to expand, overhanging the logistical route that currently provides avdiivka, but there in fact. these are advances to the north where the very top of our army is, it is not at all insignificant, there literally yesterday or the day before yesterday the 47th brigade from the steppe to the steppe carried out active counterattacks using the usually already known bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and the enemy at this time even technique does not use it, tries to carry out these attacks with manpower both on the steppe and on the bardich, what does it say about that? that now, in fact, there is either a certain regrouping of forces , where the enemy is accumulating forces in order to act with a new wave of attacks to the north and and and to the north, or

there has been a certain, let's say, exhaustion of those enemy forces that were intended to ensure the breakthrough of our defense, but in any case we understand that avdiyivka remains a priority target for the enemy for both political and military reasons , because political goals are like when we look at a map. well, there really is a threat to our group, but we remember that in the fourth month, the enemy is actually suffering colossal losses, and the military objectives, well , the enemy is trying to push us away from this area, so what, but understanding the meaning of this direction, i think that the approaches of our of the general staff will be close to the same as in bakhmut to prevent the enemy from occupying even the subway and destroying it as much as possible. the enemy, because there are within 40 thousand enemy personnel, and by this time this avdiiv meat grinder worked effectively enough from the point of view

of destroying the enemy's forces and means. the kupinsky district of the kharkiv region is also extremely hot, the fighting continues, and our fighters left the village of krokhmalny, and certain panic messages immediately appeared, saying that there is an extremely great threat to the kupinsky district itself. knotty yes, well, and accordingly, mr. serhiy, your vision, well, in fact, for some reason we started to connect some apocalyptic conclusions to the starch shop, because in fact the starch is located there between kupiansky and svatova, there seems to be 20 km to svatov, 30 km to kupyansk, and this is a populated town where there were five or six ee... houses that had been destroyed a long time ago, and the command or the river command of the ground forces said, that in fact, in view of the fact that it was not possible to obtain these positions, there was a withdrawal to

the areas a little further west, in any case, this partly creates threats there for certain areas that are near krukhmalnogo, in particular, tabaivka, berestovets, two settlements there . near krokhmalny, but it does not have a systematic effect on the front line, because the enemy's systematic efforts right now are an onslaught in the north and in the south, in the north it is precisely an attack on kupiyansk through sinkivka , already for three months there they go to senkivka, they are destroyed there, they are literally good video, where the enemy is once again trying to advance to senkivka, and there, at the expense of half a bucket of artillery, this group is the enemy group is destroyed in the senkivka zone, and when we are, there is simply a threat there , but we see, in the perspective of advancement

there is no enemy, and... well then, if we go down from the kupyansk stranglehold, this whole area, it is small, the enemy wants all these troops, which are our troops, who are holding this area, he wants to push them to the right bank of the oskil river, because this is exactly what is happening between midnight and noon, well , behind our soldiers is this river, and that is why the enemy thinks that if he destroys all the bridges there, he will push, create a problem with logistics, then we will have to withdraw . theoretically, such a scenario is possible, but practically we see that there are no changes occur, as well as in the lower part of our such a large bridgehead, exactly, it is thorny, yampilivkatorske, the enemy is trying to attack, there is no advance, as well as silver forestry, active combat operations, there is no advance, so we can conclude that there is potential to hold these directions of this. enough

significant territory, the question is repeated primarily in ammunition, because indeed the commanders of both directions talked about the fact that we are forced to save ammunition, and the foreign publications there, cnn, says that that we use 200 ammunition there per day, the enemy already uses up to 10,000 ammunition per day, that is , the enemy has an advantage in ammunition, and i repeat, this can be... one of the factors that will affect the stability of our defense in certain areas . thank you very much, sergey, an extremely important signal, in particular for our western allies, but it turned out that little by little, we found certain, so to speak, opportunities to hurt the enemy. leningrad oblast, ustlug, the city of tupse, and so on, started wards in

russian federation. we understand, here the story is not about burned oil money, the key story is the immediate fall of certain logistical capabilities, because stories about oil are primarily a story about supplying it to the front line, but the enemy did not wait, but we have two minutes left , well, everything is not secret, about our secret developments, we are talking about the fact that the situation is really slowly changing so that... the war is transferred to the territory of the enemy, for this we have more means of domestic production, because when we if we are talking about the enemy's oil terminals on the baltic sea, then their distance from our positions there is more than 1,200 km, this indicates that we already have effective means that can cause significant damage to the enemy in energy facilities that

provide, relatively speaking , russian... economy and russian troops, because these terminals are extremely important for the enemy, what exactly? well, in particular, the minister of strategic industries oleksandr kamyshchyn said that we already have drones with such a range, which work effectively, i am extremely optimistic that ministertechprom will finally ensure the scaling up of the production of such drones, that there will be many more of them, and this will allow us to... ensure that influence on the enemy, on his energy facilities , on a military facility, because we know that there were fires and facilities that manufacture armor complexes there, strikes were carried out on enterprises that manufacture missiles of the kha series, so that this process is in the right choice entirely on the territory of the enemy, about what the main intelligence agency said at one time, these are objects of the military-industrial complex, energy objects, objects

of military and political importance. meaning, this is what is on the list of goals that are absolutely legitimate in the conditions of hostilities, thank you, serhii zgurets and his team worked extremely fruitfully, actively, and i can only thank serhiy zgurtsev for these brilliant results of this extremely difficult week . well, now attention, surprise. our favorite "news" column appears in our informational evening. annaeva melnyk, of course, will present all the most important events of this day. anya hello again, i have been saying this tirelessly throughout the day. you have a word. congratulations antin, thank you for your work. then i will work, i will tell you about the most important thing.
