the self-titled project with myroslava barchuk, a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who interpret and comment on the most relevant social discussions, what news will be analyzed by the guests of the project this week and, in fact, who will be the guest of the studio, we will find out already this sunday, the topics will definitely be relevant, special guests, own names with myroslava barchuk, sunday 17:10 at espresso. well, what about us... we are coming back and volodymyr fityopres, an officer of the ground command of the armed forces of ukraine, is in touch with us now. mr. volodymyr, good morning. good morning. glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. well, first of all, i would like to ask what is the current situation in the kupin-lyman direction, what is happening there now. you know, in the kupinsky, lymansky directions, and in general in the entire area of ​​responsibility , the commander of the operational-strategic grouping of troops go away the enemy does not abandon his intentions.

in carrying out offensive actions, which means that more than 20 attacks were repulsed in the kupinsky direction and the lymansky direction, combat operations also took place near tabaivka, stelmakhivka, terny, yampolivka, here the enemy used 32 kamikaze drones on ukrainian positions and carried out 500.33 artillery shells, a very large number of artillery fire testifies to the fact that the enemy has now shifted the focus precisely to them, is trying to advance, but our defenders managed to repulse the enemy attacks, destroy 245 russian occupiers and also 32 units of military equipment were destroyed or damaged by the rashi attack, including two armored personnel carriers, two bmps, one mtlb, we can see that it is actively using

equipment to support its offensive actions, a lot of equipment was burned, great losses were destroyed the enemy, but this does not stop him, and he continues to try to advance in these directions, in the bakhmat direction, the past day was also active, enemy attacks were repulsed there near bohdanivka, ivanovsky, klishchiivka, andriivka, the enemy is here tries to advance towards the temporal abyss, success. it is not in this direction, used 25 kamikaze drones, shelled ukrainian positions 334 times with artillery and mortars, managed to destroy the 61st occupier and 25 units of military equipment, there were anti-tank missiles, rebs and other samples of military equipment. estonian intelligence says that, in their opinion, the russians may try to make a diversion... an offensive maneuver from belgorod to

kharkiv in order to withdraw part of the troops from kupinsky is very important for them direction and apparently for this there are already signs that they are concentrating. forces on the actual russian territory, what do you think about it , you know, the number of russian troops that are on the northern border, they are monitored, now the war is going on in such an online way, let's talk, and it is almost impossible to make some kind of covert movement of forces and means for both sides , therefore, in addition to all that, fortification is being carried out on the northern border. accordingly, there are also forces and means, the engineering equipment of the border is being carried out, so at the moment there are threats to the people of kharkiv from the north there is no who expects that the ukrainian army will spend this year on the defensive, active defense,

but on the defensive, while the russians will try to advance, and in the end there was very aggressive rhetoric from putin and other representatives of the russian federation about the fact that... something is going on there to seize, which directions of russian federation offensives are possible and, in principle, do they now have the resources for any major offensives? well, look, i can only tell you for khortytsia, for the area of ​​responsibility, active hostilities have begun in the area of ​​responsibility of khortytsia at the beginning of october, that is, already october, november, december, january. for four months, the enemy has been actively advancing in this direction , he has had success, you can see for yourself what kind of success he has had, and accordingly , the resources to continue, and we can already see these offensive actions, are beginning to be lacking,

because a very large number of lost equipment destroyed, a large number of human casualties, and now just this mobilization and uh ... which is taking place in russia and recruitment for contract military service, it previously covers exactly the number of people who were killed and wounded precisely during the active offensive actions of the occupiers. cnn journalists actually visited near avdivka and other regions not so long ago, and they actually tried to investigate why the m-109 paladin. these hawks did not bring such big changes that were felt on the eastern front, their conclusion is that there is a little too little supply of ammunition, since then the situation has probably worsened, is there really such a hunger for shells that we are experiencing now 155 shells for western

models of equipment , you know, our gunners they say one thing: there is no such thing as too many shells, of course, as we can see, there are no problems with this in russia at all. they have a production there, they still have a large number of shells in storage, and they can afford to produce, in principle , the amount of ammunition that they are producing now, no one was ready for such an amount of artillery use, accordingly, our partners abroad were also not ready, their production was not ready, and now this process is on... of course, we, we need more shells in order to suppress enemy, in order to support our offensive actions, well, we will wait until this situation changes for the better. well , mr. volodymyr, thank you very much for this conversation, volodymyr fityo, a professor of the command of the ground forces of the armed forces

of ukraine was with us, we talked about the situation in the kupin-limansk and bakhmuvsk directions, first of all, and also in the direction of the zaporizhia region, well... and they also talked about the fact that already four months of the russian federation's big offensive are already underway, and this offensive, which did not bring the russians had no success, except for heavy losses. well, in the meantime, we will take a very short break, and then ivan tymochko, a serviceman and head of the council of reservists of the land forces of the armed forces of ukraine, will be with us, and we will also touch on various important and sensitive issues. there are discounts on deflu, 20% in psyllanyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. new york of the 19th century is luxury, scandals and intrigues. gilded age from hbo.

a serviceman and head of the reservist council of the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine, and mr. ivan, we congratulate you. congratulations, glory to ukraine, i'm glad to see you. each other well, let 's start with such a topic, in relation to war on the rocks, an american such resource. a very interesting article by michael cofman rob lee came out yesterday, where they actually analyze what this year should be like for the armed forces of ukraine, and which they believe that ukraine currently does not have the strength of capabilities for a strategic offensive this year, but it is possible and not bad, authors of the article believe that this year can be used to exhaust the russian army and prepare for an offensive that may to be successful in the 25th year, these are the opinions of the authors, do you agree with them? and what should be done for this in order to use this year with benefit, actually, in terms of readiness for

an offensive, well, that is clear, because the territory of ukraine needs to be liberated, and it will depend rather not on there, as simple as the desire to liberate the territory, how armed we will be, in fact, how high-quality the supplies will be, how high-quality we will have, actually carried out before... calls for mobilization, before the expansion of the troops, everything will also depend on moreover, it depends on the capabilities of the russian federation, to what extent they will actually be able to accumulate forces and means, whether they will mobilize themselves or not, because even putin's applications, the fact that he, if you believe even his words, he stated that their occupation contingent is 600,000 , and this is by and large almost half, half of the entire total russian... army that exists in them, because it is combat, because they also have civilian workers there, but actually 200 million,

this is counted as military personnel in them, therefore, if half the army is here, then they will either have to expose all fronts, or carry out mobilization in order to really achieve some kind of result in their case. as for us , of course, i say this, it will depend on the motivation, on the desire, on how much political stability we will have in the country, because if we, what we are observing now, that preparations for conducting hostilities are coming from two sides , but if, say,... in russia, putin is trying with all his might to cement his power, and they are having discussions there, how much harder to take control of the population in order to, there, we know they have already adopted some wild laws there in terms of confiscation for disrespecting the army, with the confiscation of property from everything, and

here, unfortunately, the deputies are discussing how to expand the army, but not the armed forces. army of evasioners, are looking for many legal ways to facilitate service evasions, in some incomprehensible political discussions and the delay in time of actually vital laws for us will also all depend on the extent to which our european allies will be able to really agree to the funds in support actually on arms supplies, let's see what the situation will be for you... america, because we see that texas has suddenly sprung up, why am i saying this, because all geopolitics are really interconnected, and actually these are the challenges we are facing, we, our allies in a short time will show us, in fact, how much it is possible to be, how ready we will be for the actual

offensive, in relation to the enemy forces, how much we can be... the possibility with the use of the available means of destruction, those that we can get, say, the same aviation, in order to really liberate large areas with minimal losses, because we also have to understand that the russians have many times more human resources, even if they are of low quality, but they are there, then, as in ours, every person really counts, and besides that, there will be more, everything still. the situation will certainly depend on the extent to which china dares, say , to support russia on an industrial scale , or how they continue to do there, sell through third countries, that is, there are no direct supplies to support russia, these are all challenges, these are all situations that will affect the course of events actually at the front there of the second, third and

fourth, fourth decade or quarter of this year. it is obvious that we are very dependent, we still depend on the help of our partners, we really hope that this help will resume, although we have not very good signals and again from the us congress, nevertheless , the second domestic issue that must be done is to resolve the issue mobilization, this is also due to the great age of the assault units, and in principle not to the equipment, we actually hear these complaints absolutely seriously, and you are talking about the issue of, er... i understand that about the issue of the reservation of workers, so to speak, which is currently being discussed in the verkhovna rada, well, just now more than 500,000 workers are already, so to speak, reserved from mobilization in the army, that is, at the same time, these are quite selective things, that is, this is this is this

is receiving this the armor is not those people who , for example, are key there, but those who are simply , well... here is the story of pikalov, a resident of the neighborhood, which has just surfaced, that is, he turns out not for nothing, but a serviceman who serves in the national guard 30-66 mobilized, here , but at the same time, well, he is not in the army, but after the war he will also be a war hero , someone, for example, at this time has been fighting there since the first days of the 22nd year, as mr. shvagro, for example, still cannot. .. to receive a combatant who has already been wounded twice, that's actually what the conversation is about, that after the war we will all find out among ourselves who was, where and what he did, that's for sure, such things will not pass here, just to stick to ourselves , on the other hand, if mobilized, well here it is important to understand that not everyone will fight at the front and do not fight and

in depending on what his official duties are, where they are. how is it regulated, because in general there are a lot of people who were mobilized in the army, but, let's say, secondments to the military-civilian administration, to other structures, if the law allows it, it happens, another issue, if there are problems in the implementation of the law, then what you say, for example, especially shvagrom, so that it is really difficult for him to get documents, yes, confirmation that he is a participant in hostilities, well, but it is faster. questions, probably to the direct command of his unit, to, according to his commanders, who or to those persons who in his part are obliged to properly... draw up and submit documents, well, actually this draft law, which is currently being dragged out for a long time in the verkhovna rada, actually he and will regulate the list of positions, reservations, and

the list of positions and persons who will be entered into the reserve or in the queue, the sequence of mobilization, because, for example, a reservation, depending on what kind of reservation it is, sometimes it is just a reservation so that the company or... structure, using current legislation, there, let's say, he reserves people according to the position , and it is completely different, if it is, for example, the reservation of people who work at enterprises that are responsible for the livelihood of the population, or enterprises that are responsible for or make supplies to the defense industry, here you know how this reservation armor is the difference, and actually this is... this is chaos, this is abuse, this whole problem should be regulated by this draft law on mobilization, on military service, it introduces, or rather, changes to the laws

on mobilization, on military service, on civil servants, about managers, in general it will be about even those who are getting an education there, it will be about persons with disabilities, terms of deferment, terms of conscription, it is actually very, very good, there are more than 200 or so pages, but unfortunately. .. unfortunately , unfortunately, i repeat, unfortunately, politicians, the political greed for ratings in some political structures has defeated common sense and common reality, and the challenges that we have, and therefore until the moment of its announcement, we will live on old people, you know, here paradox in fact, we have experience, we already have identified, taken into account errors, we have ... we are from even a large-scale invasion, we already have an acquired knowledge base, and in fact, which has already been submitted in order to unify the legislation, because anyway it was not there,

for some it can be very boring to listen to these laws, but in fact we all live according to the law, according to their regulation, and until changes to the laws are adopted, until the regulations are written, until it is studied and implemented , it all takes time. it's all time we, well, on the one hand, it is good that we are a democratic country, we are not authoritarian, that i am putin alone, today he had a dream there at 6 o'clock in the morning, at 7 o'clock his mind is already accepting, the other hundred is actually somewhere and there should be some discussion of the legislation, but i will repeat, when there is common sense and when there is a discussion for its effective implementation, and quite another, when the discussion goes... to some kind of political populism, this is a great threat, and this must be constantly emphasized , because now we are all somewhere on such a stretch, on

forks, how should we live, how should we regulate many issues within the country, even the issue of this reservation, if it is clearly spelled out, clearly regulated and understandable, then the enterprises will know who to book, who will be drafted into them, who, say, will replace those who... will be drafted , many of them, of course, this will remove a lot of speculation, i will tell you directly, i am sure that as soon as the bill becomes law and changes are made, on the same day politicians' interest in it will disappear as such, and those politicians who are tearing themselves apart there shirts or braids are torn off there, tomorrow they will forget about him altogether and about those people about whom they are there, as they say, they are there fighting for absolutely. will either switch to another regime of some kind of turbulence, or go somewhere to warm their own backs again . well, unfortunately, this is the truth, and we must also speak clearly and truthfully about it, well

, the calculation may be really lucky for us, that the deputies will also fall under the mobilization, or at least that it is still really considered that it is necessary to conduct a full military schools and those who, for example, not involved in the war, there are certain... managerial positions, but they must have military education, skills, it is also stated there that deputies, managers, but again, it will all be a question of how this education will be, whether it will be a week there, two-week, three-week, there or with a periodization every three months or six months, or it will just be a selfie trip, and this will really be the question and how much it will cause self-confidence, these are all the challenges, these are all the regimes that actually give us the opportunity. to review or evaluate our ability to attack, to provide bodies, to the readiness of the defense and in general to balance life activities in the country, because...

society has actually heated up so much that it is necessary to remove this heat, because it may not end well. you know, this story , we literally have very little time left, here is this story even with the il-76, this is how it was communicated, yesterday putin already said that it shot down ukrainian air defense, it is also interesting, by the way, i think we already we can shoot down on the approach to belgorod, that is, the russians can already close their resort there, well, but less about that, but the way they communicated on... our side, this also shows that we have terrible problems with communication, in our country in the 23rd year one of the most popular words was on the internet, in particular, some organization defined summer there in crimea, and now there is the same alina mykhaylova who is fighting, that girl who says that it is absurd, what a summer in crimea, you consider everyone to be idiots here in the country, and here is already accumulating some, some huge gap between official communication and the fact that people understand that they are considered idiots. well

and in connection with that, something needs to be changed, for example arahamia blurted out yesterday that let's reveal all the losses, they are actually much less than everyone thinks, well let's reveal them, and why are we revealing them, to show that there are fewer of them, or in order to understand what the life of each soldier in each specific unit is worth, so what changes in communication do you expect, we have less than three minutes, in fact, we need to clearly divide society and explain what these... goals are , what is the goal, so summer in crimea is a goal, and the question of its implementation, in any case , we all understand that the summer season in crimea will either be in the fall or the spring will be opened, the armed forces will open, and if the commanders say so, then yes, then it should be taken as serious or as some kind of understanding planning, regarding the opening of the same lists of the dead, well, i am also a big opponent of this,

so that it would be. publicly, because it will give the enemy an opportunity to analyze who died, who was abandoned, where, what is the social status, military, civilians, even some kind of gender division, and besides, i i am sure that there will still be some mistrust of these numbers, and that is, we can once again get involved in the discussion of how true these numbers are, correspond to reality, do not correspond, this will give russian propaganda an additional incentive for manipulation for... for the population by and large it will not change anything, it will just be an arithmetic number, for the people of ukraine it is a loss, it will be a huge loss even for one person, because these are human lives, these are deaths, but it is worth talking about after the victory, and you are right they said that after the victory, after the war , we will already determine who, what, where and how, now maximum all forces are needed not for any

discussions. direct the forces to victory, and this is the most important thing at this stage. thank you very much, ivan tymochko, a well-known serviceman and head of the council of reservists of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine, talked about various aspects, in particular , about communication and about the naming policy, the actual naming of the statistics of those killed in this war. but even without these statistics, we understand what we are losing people, unfortunately, and this is not only military, but also civilians, and in fact, traditionally at 9 o'clock every morning, all of ukraine honors the memory of those who died in this war due to russian aggression. so, let's remember everyone.

let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
