is full of self-irony and the adventures of ukrainians abroad. this is an opportunity to get away from it a little. of the terrible everyday life that we have, and plunge into the cool memories of youth. i try to capture the mood, the mood of the book itself, the mood of the performance itself. and not to depict him or try to parody something, so this show is more about the mood, this is all the news for this hour, see you, well, we are back with our information and analytical part... matona we will talk with our next guests, but first i would also like to continue the topic

of fundraising for the needs of the armed forces of ukraine , and also remind you that the spresso tv channel , the iryna kovald charitable fund, is calling to join the fundraising for our defenders of the 141st brigade, who are performing tasks in the orihiv direction of zaporizhzhya the infantry, aerial reconnaissance areas need high-quality equipment for the successful performance of combat missions, and we plan to purchase radios and batteries for them, starlinks, binoculars and... sights, periscopes, detectors, drone detection, and many other equally important things at the front, every hryvnia is important here, we have already closed more than one fundraiser with you and this time too we hope to be able to do it as soon as possible, of course time, deadlines also matter, our goal is to raise 1 million, i 'm sure we can do it quickly enough, yesterday , by the way, saw that one of our viewers dropped 20,000 hryvnias, maybe some larger amounts, i don't know. i have the name of this person, but by the way, it is definitely visible in those of our people who control these

fees, see how the income goes to the owner's accounts, and i don't know, maybe it's a good idea for people who either send large amounts or do it constantly and regularly, in some way , to encourage and celebrate such people, maybe on our tv channel, i don't know, at least with some branded, i don't know, mugs, or something like that. i'm holding in my hands now, i i think, at least some symbolic things so that a person could later say, i don’t know , that i joined this war, in particular, i was making, sending out letters all the time, well, in a word , it would be nice, that’s a good idea, you just know , is born now, in a word i thank everyone, actually for, i know that it is not for awards, not for mugs and not for t-shirts with the inscription there from the press, or the armed forces, or i am ukrainian, i am rainman, whatever, that’s all is done for the sake of... victory, it's all done for the sake of the fact that no one wants to stand be careful, in fact

, in this war, no ukrainian wants to stand. something for the war , but some give for the war, everything, even their health, even their lives, this is about... women and men who are now on the front lines, who are on the front line, and just now we are joined by the colonel serhiy sidoren, battalion commander of the tactical group of the fourth brigade of operational national assignment guards of ukraine. mr. colonel, good morning to you. good morning, studio, good morning, dear viewers, uh, i'm asking, in which direction of the front is your brigade now and what is the situation there, on our way. is in the bakhmatsky direction, the situation here remains difficult, the enemy concentrated his main efforts on the

settlements of bohdanivka, ivanivske, klishchiivka and andriivka. over the past day, there were eight attempts by the enemy to carry out assault actions, the enemy's assault actions were repulsed, there were also several places of accumulation of the enemy were discovered, the enemy was going to launch an offensive, but with the help of a uav it was discovered, and it was attacked. fire damage, artillery units, the enemy accordingly reduced losses and gave up his offensive actions. the russian federation uses airborne units, its motorized infantry units, units of the russian volunteer assault corps, as well as units formed from citizens of the occupied luhansk region. also among the subdivisions of the russian federation observed of foreign origin, these are either emigrants or wage earners who

are offered russian citizenship, and after receiving a passport, they are sent to replenish the units of the russian federation, currently the trend of using armored vehicles is increasing, this is also due to the deterioration of weather conditions, and also the lack of success in the direction, the elections of the russian federation, the russian federation is approaching success. there are no loud captures of populated areas, captures of some territory by the enemy, so for the capture of several hundred meters in order to lay several hundred lives of military ... employees of the russian federation together with equipment, this is the norm. in our fourth brigade of the operational purpose of rubizh , a complex of the use of reconnaissance drones, fpv drones and artillery units was quite successfully combined, which makes it possible to destroy the enemy on the approach or in places of their accumulation. so, last week, several enemy artillery systems were destroyed, which made it possible to significantly

reduce fire damage on our subdivisions personal. the composition of the fourth front line brigade is motivated, ready to perform tasks, there are enough forces and means to conduct an active defense, and the situation remains under control in the direction. actually, recently, even in the mouth of the study of war, the american has paid attention to those negotiations and discussions that are conducted in the enemy camp, regarding the fact that the enemy is thinking about how to overcome the positional war in order to... go to some offensive actions and breakthroughs, i think that under bakhmut it is very important for them, because well, as they say, to liberate the donetsk region, this is the primary task that they had many months ago, it had yet to be completed, actually, or what the enemy is doing to break this positional war, do

they have the resources and the possibilities, in your opinion , to change course from... well, of course, the enemy has enough resources, constantly, he does not have a shortage of ammunition, they also receive drones, both reconnaissance and strike, and they also have no problems with replenishing personnel staff, if the unit suffered losses, for a change of this unit, another unit arrives, and the enemy tries to advance in the same directions, everything depends on the stability of our units. and from the number of personnel and resources that they attract, while there are no critical questions, we can see that from the interrogation of prisoners from neighboring directions, from our direction, that mainly citizens not from moscow, not st. petersburg, that is, citizens from poorer regions, and therefore

they have no problematic issues with mobilization and signing contracts, but with regard to... in fact, there are a lot of current reports on the plans for this year, in particular, the washington post writes about what is recommended to the ukrainian army, in particular, to maintain defense during this year, there was also an interesting publication by general rob lee and michael kaufman, a well-known american defense expert, who write that ukrainians actually have an opportunity. to resume offensive actions, but it will be already in the 25th year, whereas now, if aid is resumed, the main idea is to hold the blow, defend, prepare and to strike next year, there are some predictions that the army thinks what this year should be, opinions differ in the army, of course,

we want to liberate our territory as soon as possible, but everything depends on the supply of ammunition that comes to us. as, if there are any, the more ammunition and means of warfare there are, the less casualties there will be. the question is, are we now prepared to conduct offensive operations with limited supply and are we prepared for such losses? i think, probably, it is necessary to stabilize and make our production to we did not lack any means, we prepared reserves after the mobilization, we had the resources to conduct offensive actions, and then, of course, there will be an order. there will be a team, there will be support from the citizens , and we will begin to liberate our territory, at the moment in our direction we are standing in active defense, we do not allow the enemy to advance and grind the reserves that he has accumulated, that he has purchased, we do not allow him to advance further, while it is in our direction, i emphasize, this is the best option

for conducting hostilities, there will be support, there will be enough weapons , we will... there will be favorable conditions, of course, you don’t need to sit still, you need to actively conduct combat operations, somewhere you will attack the direction, somewhere you will draw the enemy into ambushes, somewhere you will mislead the enemy, that is, these are the elements of active defense, which we are currently carrying out, there was recently a very high-profile publication by yuriy botusov, to which the commander-in-chief, general, reacted. alkaline even, and i understand that he has marked this post with two pluses, which means that he has taken note, and this is the story of the fact that, according to butusov... during an offensive operation of some of the positions lost from repelling, in particular,

very experienced drone operators were used as an assault squad, many of them destroyed the equipment and they simply died during this operations, and this also raised the question of whether here, well, as far as how we actually use assault squads, this is all from... it also happens against the background of reports, which did not start today, that assault squads often have an average age of 40 plus, which is not corresponds to the possibilities physical, the word is such questions, do you also face this in your, in your brigade, why can such situations arise in principle? such situations probably occur on the front line, these are usually negative examples, and they are very minimal, probably it was some kind of critical situation where it was necessary

to quickly restore a position, and whoever was closest to this position was the one who secured it there, maybe not assessed the situation that developed at that time in this place, but the general problem is present, it is a lack of personnel, lack of trained personnel, first of all... these are personnel who will come to us for mobilization in the future or sign a contract with us, they must be healthy and ready to perform tasks, usually the average age of servicemen is 40 plus, sometimes 50 plus in in some units, it does not fully provide them with their capabilities to perform tasks, first of all, the personnel must be trained, must be prepared. reserve units will be constantly needed classes should be held, of course, if drone operators were sent, then this is unacceptable,

of course there is no need for anyone to repeat such cases, and actually, what can be said about your brigade itself, it is the border itself, that is, it was preparing as such a liberation guard to a certain extent, and there is a lot of motive. these people went, that is, you have the experience of this very positive, positive mobilization, in your opinion, i don’t know how, in your opinion, to attract people to the assault squads who would best cope with their tasks where there are the biggest losses, of course , but where there are also the most, the most, i don't know, the merit and honor to be, eh... first of all , people should not be afraid of mobilization, and when they arrive at the training center, they already know for which brigade, at least they are preparing , already in the training center to determine what profession

they should choose, if he has sat at a computer all his life, he will accordingly have this groin, if he has driven large trucks all his life, accordingly he must also be a driver, if a person shows initiative during classes, he learns the material normally, she has sufficient physical training, er he... accordingly, she will be offered to serve in assault units, but assault units with proper planning of assault operations, combat operations with a sufficient amount of artillery, er, and fire support of an assault unit, this is not a ticket er- at one end, it is enough with normal cover, if enough fire damage is inflicted on the enemy’s position, there either a minimal amount of it remains, or there are also people sitting there, they also leave, and the task of the strumovyk is to go and check this territory, so certain risks are increased,

but with modern means of fire damage , whether you are there 200 m from the enemy or 5 km away, there is no particular difference, fire damage can be inflicted both from our side and from theirs to the entire depth that i indicated , yes, attack aircraft... the danger is increased, but the commander of the assault unit directly participates in the planning of this operation, he takes into account the proposals of the personnel who go there, also during the planning, the unit commander is present, who provides fire support, communication, implementation of general management, i.e. if properly planned with proper preparation of these actions by officers, sergeants and training of soldiers, losses during such actions will be minimal. and finally, mr. colonel, i rely on your opinion, it is also very interesting, but with regard to this practice of nato, which many people mention, people's deputies and...

journalists who work directly at the front with units about this practice, when they understand the consequences of the battle, that is, what went wrong, what was done that way, this practice or that in fact already implemented, is it practiced in our armed forces and is it needed? it is 100% necessary, it is already implemented, it is not only necessary to study abroad to get there. combat experience is enough to carry out already in each unit of the defense forces, to carry out analysis and analysis of mistakes, so as not to go in the same direction, also the assault actions of our units are accompanied by means of unmanned aircraft complexes, every movement, movement of each of our servicemen is accompanied , also through means of communication it adjusts because a man who is on the battlefield is in a trench,

he can be in that situation. that further than 70, 60 m from him he does not see anything, it may be bushes, or folds of the terrain , or trees behind which the enemy may be lurking, or a previously unestablished firing position will appear, that is, that is why all assault actions are accompanied by means of uavs and the unit is adjusted already during the battle, during the approach to the enemy, when a large crowd is detected there or some... according to their means, artillery or fire support units inflict fire damage accordingly, only then our forces move on, when detecting an enemy that is not unscathed or there is no possibility to hit him at the moment of the damage, the unit is fixed in place or withdraws, i.e. people on the embrasures, as in the 41st and 45th years, no one sends now, everything is planned in detail, after each, after each...

uh, a detailed analysis and video recording of how the unit moves is carried out, it can be reported directly to everyone military serviceman also, when planning assault actions, a set of measures is also taken, where each serviceman directly sees the area on a picture, on some kind of layout, knows his place in the order of battle, knows his sector and thus provides. all survivability of this unit. mr. colonel, thank you very much for this conversation, for the opportunity to communicate with you, colonel serhii sidoren, the commander of the battalion tactical group of the fourth operational brigade of the national guard of ukraine was on our airwaves, thank you very much, and now we we will take a very short break, and then we will have volodymyr fityov, the press officer of the ground news command of the armed forces of ukraine. wait. there are discounts on... 20% in
