zone. in sumy oblast, the movement of civilian transport near the border with russia was banned. this was reported in the regional military administration. such a decision was made to reduce losses among the civilian population. in total, 22 road sections were banned. let me remind you that on january 27, russian saboteurs shot a civilian car in the khotyn community. then the brother and sister died. in donetsk region. law enforcement officers identified two children who died as a result of a rocket attack on pokrovsky district on january 6. it is about a seven-year-old boy in the village of rivne and a 14-year-old teenager in pokrovsk, the regional police said. they noted that nine dead people have been identified so far. two more dead children remain to be identified. let me remind you that on january 6, the occupiers hit the pokrovsky district with s-300 missiles. at that time, 11

people became victims of the enemy attack. the armed forces of ukraine redistributed forces and resources in the kupyan direction. the decision was made to strengthen the defense on this area of ​​the front during a meeting with the participation of the commander of the ground forces oleksandr syrskyi. he visited combat units near kupyansk. the teams reported that heavy fighting was going on in all areas. the enemy continues to intensively storm ours. positions and is constantly raising new reserves, as colonel general sirsky noted, the defenders should focus on effective reconnaissance, the coordinated use of all means of fire damage and the protection of our units by means of radio-electronic warfare. within a day, our soldiers were sent the dustbin of history for another 880 russian baths. in general, initially,

387,940 occupiers died in the invasion of ukrainian land. also, the armed forces of ukraine turned into scrap, 10 enemy tanks, 13 armored fighting vehicles, 36 units of automobiles and three units of special equipment. our positions are no longer attacked, 26 artillery systems and one reactive salvo fire system of the enemy, and 15 russian drones are forever lost. in non-existence, the general staff emphasizes, all data are indicative. poltava region lost part of its harvest during the next attack, which took place the day before late in the evening, the russians damaged the granary, the head of the region, philip pronin, announced about it. the elevators were completely filled with grain, as a result, a considerable amount of it was burned. the state promises to compensate grain owners for losses.

according to sources, the security service of ukraine was involved in the attack on the oil refinery in volgograd. drones hit a primary oil refinery, without which the plant would lose a significant portion of its production capacity. a large-scale fire occurred on one of the largest mpzs in russia tonight . the fire covered an area of ​​several hundred meters. the temporarily occupied berdyansk was also noisy today. for half an hour there were explosions. they were well heard to live. several districts of the city, informed the head of the city's military administration viktoriya galitsyna. she also added that the russian invaders have not announced any exercises to date. money for the armed forces of ukraine. with this slogan

, a peaceful action was held under the walls of the kyiv city state administration. participants demand allocate 20% of the capital's budget to the armed forces. and increase the inclusiveness of the city. to ac'. several hundred kyivans have now joined. we will remind, the same pickets were held last year. in response to them, the kyiv city council voted to allocate uah 500 million from the budget for drones. as long as they are relevant, as long as we see that our demands are not fully met, we will gather. in general, our goal is dialogue. we hope that there will be more deputies. are open to communication, we will be important to follow the meetings of various commissions, at the meetings of the kmda, and if we see that the situation is much better, then perhaps there will be no more integrity in these actions, for me it is even very painful, i would say, when you see that the money goes to everything,

except the type of army, in addition to weapons, in addition to spending on fortifications and so on and so forth, on cobblestones, on parks, this is now the duty of every citizen of ukraine. especially a resident of kyiv, to make sure that the money he spends on this city goes where he wants.

we are coming back, as we promised romanjaik oksana vysochanska, thank you to irina koval for the selection of news, and we will continue and add a little, because there are some strange news from poland, yes, duda, andrzej duda, the president of poland, doubted that we will succeed in de-occupying crimea, imagine, i have an answer . there is, but wait, wait, that is, he said that luhansk region and donetsk region are yes, but crimea may be difficult for you, after such a violent reaction, which was obvious, sikorsky ran to apologize and say: "no, no, no , we have no doubt, and we, poland, and all poles, we

we admit, the borders of ukraine are internationally recognized, and everything is fine, everything is fine, everything is fine, that is, it became uncomfortable for them after this. words, we will try today with our experts to find out exactly what kind of pretext it was, what it was leading to, what it actually looks like, that it is either a poorly worded sentence, or i don't know, maybe it is some kind of political game , there, the dog whistle wanted to help the alternative government of donald tusk to do something, we don't know, we just see, but fast. and we will now join our conversation our first guest for this hour, serhii

tsehotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov handziuk, glory to ukraine , mr. serhiy, to the heroes, glory to mr. serhiy, you know. one of putin's extreme election stand-up shows, he is talking about avdiivka, all the time about avdiivka, and that the boys went through the pipes in a cool way, and that... the troops advanced, took entire blocks, and then more this story with kokssokhim was added, and accordingly, well, at least in the russian public, avdiyivka will be russian, that’s what they will witness later on the internet some fragments of such things, but what does it look like in practice? the complete opposite of hope, why? because the number of dead in this direction is already so much

that probably none of their narratives there can cover it, and everyone knows it, the whole world knows it well , well, we understand, and the russians themselves know about it, that really , didn’t they pass, because they report that there was a breach of the defense line and they went deep, koksokhim is holding on, eh... everything is fine, you understand that all of them are the corteziya, and eh our fighters, our colleagues, our defenders of this, let's say, strategic object, very skillfully use the provided weapons, that 's why, well, a lot of them just stay there and in the future there to approve our fields and so on. well, that's the situation. mr. serhiyu, also at the institute for the study of war, after analyzing what

is happening, they look across the ocean with their own eyes , say that the russians have some small, but still advances, so in the southernmost residential area of ​​avdiivka, about a kilometer and 250 m away, that is avdiivskyi career about it is said, well, we understand that somewhere there they want some kind of ring, at least a minimal one. to see what it all looks like with your eyes, well, their goal at the moment is to cut the road through which the necessary ammunition and medicines are supplied there, this is their goal, as we can see, but they flow in absolutely all directions, including actively began to use it, well, not very actively, but to use it hard. equipment in the direction of, for example, the defense of our brigade, well, i want

to inform you that all the positions are here right where the zone of responsibility of our brigades are holding their places, there is no threat, we are constantly improving our defensive structures, approaches to them and so on, that is, we are constantly ready for any repulsion of any attack. during the day and at night, the enemy began to actively use a large number of rap means, including putting it already on their equipment there on the same bmps, that what prevents us there, we will say to destroy them as soon as possible, but this does not change anything, we still know that we have to do and we are doing our work, i would like to to ask, maybe my colleagues will have time to bring it out, we... just showed the map around avdiivka, it is not upgraded, but i

actually wanted a fresh zdipstate and ask you about whether they manage to take in avdiivka into the ring, moreover, avdiivka for them, it's like the gates of donetsk, it's like our wedge, and we understand that the goal was set even when they tried to advance along the roads there to the south of avdiyivka in the pervomaysky area and to the north. in the area of ​​the steppe, here we will now show the update, and now look if we take from the north above avdiyivka in the vesele district , in the last few days they managed to push our defense line a little bit, this is a pimp from above, and there is another one in the koksukhim area from below, where they managed to go a little deeper, and we understand that this distance in literally several kilometers, that is, mr. serhiy , they don’t want, if they can’t take the whole of avdiyivka, to take a ring, as they say... to use tactics, i don’t know, salami, that is

, to surround pieces of the suburbs little by little, then the middle of the city and so on, move like this in a way, well, they want it, it’s clear , they want, as putin said, he was raving there, that 19 buildings were captured, all very great success, you understand, and the level of the supreme so-called commander-in-chief is so... the second army of peace, that’s what he says about such achievements, but let's see what the situation is, so its task... i believe, yes, this is my special opinion, that we are overachieving in this direction every day, i say we, these are all the defense forces that take part in this, we simply over-execute any plan, let's say, well, if that's how it can be equated to the plan, in terms of the destruction of the enemy, if we destroy them here in such numbers, it means

that somewhere there are fewer of them, and it doesn’t matter what kind of mobilization they have... they still need to be trained, clothed and so on further, we destroy them, and this is a success, and this is the merit of every serviceman who fulfills his tasks in his area, let me remind you that 300, about 388 thousand of these occupiers have already been destroyed and will never walk on this earth, plus a large number of wounded, yes there are contused and so on and so on, it also affects, and now... more than ever there should be consolidation around our main goal: the victory of the enemy, the consolidation of all absolutely versts of the population, in the rear, in the deep body and so on, day and night, that's what you need to pay attention to, your work, what you do, do everything to interrupt their ipso, interrupt their

propaganda, and the truth is, they still entered that territory more, they saw it. they already know so much, but they have to prove it, and there will be victory, just the pace of this victory, the timing of this victory depends on consolidation of all our efforts together, and not waiting for someone to be there for you, i am appealing to men today first of all, who are healthy and not allocated, let's say so, do not be outsiders to oversee this matter, mr. serhiy, but when. .. there is an opportunity to take a breather from the battles, but after all, there is some kind of notation, well , usually in a smartphone, if there is a stalinka normal connection, or i don’t know something, at least on the radio, what can you do around avdiyivka hear, see, this is the front line, that's where russian propaganda comes in,

does not come, that is, what do you hear, what do you see in the minutes of rest? you turn on the radio in the car, it catches very well donetsk, donetsk, there are such, such, you hear, donetsk catches, yes, in a radius of probably, well, 200 km, and what did you hear there, except that you fascists and children eat in panties , what else is interesting about yourself, they are there, you know, they are, as you know, in some illusory world to their civilized, the award of the republic of the dnr for meritorious service to this. every day they start their there different these er, how to call them types of troops, and there are tankmen, artillerymen there separately and so on, and you know, this is the kingdom of crooked mirrors, what can you call it there, well, it’s better for me, excuse me on the air, as the late boris

yefimovich once said about this putin, that he is just, you understood which, yes, they are like that, in a different way. it is impossible to name it, because i know a large number of people in the same moscow, in st. petersburg, in other cities, who already understand this well, and understood, in principle, they just keep silent, sit and hunt because of themselves, well, a lot the number of these is like, well you understood, yes, absolutely yes, and yes, yes, you don't need to listen at all, you don't need to, yes, and well... there are no words to express it all, so please say a few words about the local civilian population in avdiivka, we understand that evacuating them was not possible, but now there are fewer of them, less than a thousand, fortunately, do they still remain in those places, in fact, where the russians are advancing, and what are they listening to, in fact , why do they insist so much, are

there really greedy people among them, so, well, i can say that it is possible and there is, perhaps, maybe they will come , no matter what, we don't set it as a goal that they will go there and all that, and they will say how we have been waiting for you for a long time, and they will show some pictures, well, i hope that this will not happen , oh, and if it does happen, then i know, in general, once, let's say, before the war, i was very, well, politely treated people of any age there. especially for older women , there are grandmothers and so on, now i don’t have that, after our children die, our cities are destroyed and everything else, then there can be no... compromises, believing non-believers in this and so on, there is truth, and it is on our side, it is the only one, and there can be no compromises with them at all, but

simply in general, i’m sorry about that, we definitely won’t be able to, but in the long run, probably, well, no i know, in general, we, our generations, should always remember this and remind the whole world about it, all the same, well, somewhere we heard some initiative to stop any. connection with swamps for about 50 years, but i like it, i like the number 50, 100 even more. mr. serhiy, thank you for participating in to our program serhii tsakhotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov gendziuk. this is avdiyivka and everything around it, well , that's how it turned out for us today a little, and it's because we turned on for a moment, as they say, imagination, how radio donetsk sounds. well, that's it. so. a short pause, then we will talk about our national security, and with our next guest, wait. there are discounts

security and taiwan is unexpected. got into one package, we we are waiting for an answer from america , and then we will tell you how taiwan happened to be directly involved in the war and what they did . frontline, military, they are serious enough, and we will connect a military serviceman and national security experts to this conversation, ivan varchenko in connection with our studio, mr. ivan, we congratulate you, ukraine, good day, glory to the heroes, mr. ivan, let's start with that we are in this arithmetic already up and down, we hear, both from analysts and directly from fighters, that there is a fairly serious shortage of ammunition in certain very important areas of the front. the bakhmut direction, avdiivka and lymanokupinsky, at least these three directions, where

the disproportion in terms of numbers is felt the most. shells, and arta will continue to be the main one, if we add to it cabs, which we do not shoot, but they drop guided air bombs and front-line aircraft are used more often, then the question arises, what to do? yes we are we understand that the political discussions taking place in our partner countries do not go unnoticed. the desire to save money, which we see in some countries of our partners from europe, does not pass without a trace , now and try to go through this war with less effort, less financial expenses and be among the winners in this war against russian evil, and currently ukraine will not receive it, not that a sufficient amount, and that amount of ammunition, 155 caliber, of course, the main caliber now for the

artillery that... is available in the defense forces of ukraine, even the amount that was already promised, promised, i mean first of all the million shells that were promised by march, it is clear that we are forced to save and are forced to compensate, what are we compensating for now, and it is good that the american has started to work the 2024-25 program for the production of projectiles specifically for the ukrainian front. we are waiting for these projectiles to arrive on the ukrainian front, the ukrainian society is now almost compensating, the ukrainian nation is compensating for the absence or practice of these ammunition by fpv drones, in principle by drones and strike systems, unmanned, but this compensation, of course, to some extent allows to even out that

imbalance today. in the number of shells, and of course, against this background, it is very clearly emphasized and unfortunately, unfortunately, painful for ukraine as well, i hope for all those decent and thinking people in the countries of our partners, that those promises, which north korea has undertaken, it practically fulfills, we see that... i have the opportunity now to use north korean munitions, north korean equipment, and the million that north korea took on, it will fulfill such a million, then this is the explanation, when the european union is talking about half a million now until the month of march, and then at best, mr. ivan , this is about the arithmetic of disproportion, just about any person who did not live together

with you, like you and i in... ukraine , an absolutely logical question may arise, you have remained less powerful and economically developed than the north after 30 years korea, which blackmails, and sometimes even rides on firewood. i i say that this is an extremely painful topic, of course, it is unpleasant to hear, i think, for the countries of our partners, because north korea makes up the gross domestic product in the world gdp. is less than 1%, and about 40% of the world gdp, which together accounts for the countries of the european union and our partner great britain, the countries of europe, then these are two incomparable things, less than 1/10, sorry, i said less than 1%, less than 1/ 10%, and we see, and we see how this potential of a country that...
