well, gentlemen, let's continue our ater, just now let's talk a little about the situation at the front, through the eyes of artillerymen, in particular near bakhmut, who are working, if they are already with us, tell me, oleg, there is already oleg kalashnikov, press officer 26 general khoruzhy roman deshkevych, mr. oleg, good morning. good morning, i will start a little with the international situation. josep borel visited poland and there he said, in particular, that he scolded the european countries for, let's say, which, according to borel, they cannot fulfill plan to provide ukraine with 155 shells. let me remind you that the european union was supposed to provide us with a million shells to the ukrainian army by the end of march, nevertheless. at the end

of the 23rd year, only a third of the order was fulfilled, and jose borel says that this is due to the fact that countries sell shells to other countries, other countries, making money from this, instead of supplying these necessary shells to the ukrainian army, mr. olezh , what is the current situation with projectiles, how is the situation in general in your direction now, well, with projectiles it is leaving. still tense to be honest, there is a lot to shoot at, that's why we shoot at points, looking for such very important targets, but, however, if our partners will supply us with shells, we will only be grateful to them, and on a constant basis, because our battles continue on in our bahamud direction, they remain tense, dynamic, vorokhna continues to attack us in the direction of tsechasiv, there is bohdanivka, yes... also on the southern flank

it is a tick, we are constantly watching it, and we must admit that he tried quite actively during this day also attack it on ivanovsk, all his attempts to storm us were repulsed, he moved away from our positions, now he is preparing again for new such active actions, and of course what we mentioned about the shells, the enemy artillery continues, continues to work on our positions, our soldiers, eh - well, if we talk about what president zelensky said, if the aid of the united states is not resumed, then the enemy can break through the defense, to what extent, is it true, how deplorable the situation can be, well, let me say for my bahamian direction, i i can't for the whole front to say, and what we are observing today is their small infantry assault group, this is the very long time we have been observing it, and what... they occasionally make such

a tab from mechanized units, these are tanks and armored fighting vehicles machines, then it is impossible to break through the front line with such groups, well, it is impossible, it is really impossible, but the front is broken through by a significant counterattack, when a significant amount of armored vehicles is involved in the component , aviation, artillery, infantry, and other units work, that is, in my direction, i can to say: to say that today he does not have enough forces to break through our defense with such actions, how great is the need for updating, in particular, the composition, do you have your brigade, your units, or are there enough experienced artillerymen? we were constantly at the mouth until the start of full scale, we were constantly on rotations of the combat zone. there were constant actions in

the exercises, but really, when the full-scale invasion of russia began, the brigade was replenished with mobilized people, for today i can say that if we take professionalism, currently mobilized , who came to us with absolutely zero artillery experience, but today they are already performing the duties of gun commanders, commanders of platoons, senior batteries, some of them have begun to grow and become combatants, that is, it is possible to say that, after all, this training process continues with us, when we are replenished , we receive them immediately after the training centers, the experience of polishing their skills, they already acquire directly in the combat zone, that’s enough grow quickly, know their business, and this can be determined by how well they shoot. and will destroy the enemies, that

is, i can say that for my brigade, that we really have such a well-organized and professional team, and your enemy, the russian artillerymen, since the end of the 22nd year, they have been more engaged in the arrangement, one can say stationary of some artillery lines, or now something has changed in this regard, do they have more mobility, or do they continue to prefer such defensive positions, well, if we take artillery, then on at the beginning, we saw that the russian artillery worked according to the classic... charter of its army, well, the soviet army, they worked in battery mode, but they realized that in battery mode, they were destroyed more, and today we can observe the following from the russian side: if it is a self-propelled artillery installation, they still try to maneuver, they

understood that it is survivability, that is, they change their position, if you take skidding artillery, then once even on the open internet we could see how they are there they remove the branches, they shoot from the bepel , they removed it, that is, they inject, more inject their artillery towed systems and lead them from there, they disguise them, that is, because it is not so mobile, not so fast to change position, although from time to time it is also they carry out, in addition, it must be admitted that we skid the artillery, if a shot is fired and the ground is soft, then with top tethers. it goes astray and needs to be done again, so they are seriously trying to dig in the boxing artillery, that is, today we see such the tactics of dispersing their body systems in order

to reduce the loss of art systems with a single fire attack, they are also learning, they are looking at how to do it better, they are also learning in our country, including, it is asked, these cassette ammunition, which we remember, a few months ago there was such a discussion whether to transfer them to ukraine or not to transfer them, in the end, have they proven their effectiveness, is it possible to compensate for them if necessary, there is a possible lack of conventional shells, well, of course, their they proved their effectiveness, we also again turned to the open sources of internet sources, we could repeatedly see how they are impressive on the plane, how soft, the so-called soft ones. this personnel, as well as lightly armored vehicles, at the same time it is not only the fact that they destroy our enemy, but it is also a key psychological factor, when you are hit from the sky and not even a

trench will save you, and you are not you can hide, of course it affects the psyche and motivation of the personnel, so they fulfilled their role completely, as they did before... and they continue to do it when they are used on the front line, what else i wanted to ask just for the rest, regarding this problem with the fact that we were supplied with very different models of equipment from different countries, and there were also many conversations a year ago that it will be very difficult to keep it all together, as time has shown, is it possible to fix and repair all of this, how these challenges overlap, what we have very much... different systems can be in service at the same time , well, logistics works, of course, it wins, indeed, the victory is how the army is supplied, how logistically everything works, because the front line, it needs its key moments of supply and provision, if

you take my brigade, i will take it again, i can’t say for the whole army, then we have everything works well, that is, we have established interaction. with our partners, in this case it is poland, because we are fighting on sau krab, after all, our servicemen, crews, have learned to carry out such small repairs in field conditions, if in poland it is the technicians working, the service is working, in they are set up in such a way, sometimes they simply won’t be able to get there at the firing position , because there is shelling, small repairs are done by the crews themselves, that really something very significant happens, of course we have such peculiar repair teams, they exist for this purpose, if there is something very significant, the cannon is moved to the rear and repairs are carried out there, and we could also

see in the same polish sources that some of the crabs last year were sent directly to poland for theirs. e base, there where their recovery is carried out, that is, it is such a multifaceted process that continues directly as in the combat zone, and of course where there is already an opportunity to work. stationary, but in general, can we say that western equipment is more reliable, or on the contrary , it is difficult for it to work in difficult field conditions and under very heavy loads, it is western equipment, it is really reliable, it is just that it is still running in during the war, i would say so, of course, the loads it receives today in the combat zone, they can to show some weak points, we tell the producer about it directly and he... already understands this in the process and starts to clean them up, that is, it cannot be said that everything

will have to be perfect or is perfect, of course not, its own donbas soils, this viscosity of the soil, it puts its own kind of load on the chassis system, of course, the number of shots fired by our guns, previously the nato system is not a doctrine, the nato doctrine, it did not, did not take into account. that they should do such a number, they thought that at the expense of accuracy everything will be resolved, that is, such nuances exist, we say, they are being cleaned up, and of course we continue to work, in general, this is a very reliable, accurate nato weapon, indeed, thank you very much, oleg kalashnikov, the press officer of the 26th brigade, was with us named after general hrundzhu roman dashkevich, the situation was discussed at the front, in particular in podbah. there, and about the fact that in reality

there are no threats of breakthroughs, at least at the moment on the donetsk side from russia, our fighters are reliably holding the front, for that we thank them very much, no we forget to contribute to our meetings, because what is important for us is that we have both eyes and the delivery of ammunition directly to the heads of the enemy, the fighters, and for this we can help. these are our, our contributions to the purchase of combat drones. now we have a short pause, then serhiy zgurets, we will talk with him, in particular, about the situation in avdiivka, and about the situation with the supply of shells and other things. there are discounts on fairvex of 15% in the pharmacies psyllanyk bam and ochad. there are 15% discounts on sin and sinus caps. plantain in pharmacies, memory and savings nothing has worked out yet, not yet, croak, oh, normalact, dear, take the normalact.

but i would like to somehow understand what the situation is in our country now, if we are talking about news from the front. of course, we first of all pay attention to the headquarters of the general staff, and there is one indicator: the number of combat engagements, 126. in fact, this is the highest number of combat engagements somewhere since the beginning of the russian, another russian offensive, which we consider there since october 9, when the enemy began to attack avdiivka, that is, now, that is , over the past day, there was the largest number of clashes along the entire front line. and exactly a third of them again fell on ardiivka and maryanka. and when we talk about plots of the front, which are the most difficult, indeed, now we have a map of avdiyivka, what is happening there. the general staff summary does not provide details, other than the total number of statements, but over the course of two days, starting with

the weekend, first of all, we are now trying to assess what... what risks are happening there? the main risks in the avdiivka area are that earlier we talked about the fact that the enemy is trying to surround our garrison with these ticks from the north and from the south, and we talked about the steppe and the north, there is the steppe to the north, the north to the south, and we talked about that that between there are about 6 km of them, between which this main road passes, orlivka, lastochkina and avdiivka. and now the situation is somewhat different, because in a few days the enemy will have a certain advance in the area between kohsokhim and avdiivka, and the place where the enemy is currently advancing to lastychkino road is about 1.5 km away, and now we can actually talk about the intention

of the enemy to break through this direction between kopsokhym and avdiyivka to the main logistics area. or to take it under close fire control and thus significantly complicate it the maintenance of our garrison in avdiivka and other areas of this direction, in particular in the south, so that now the main attention should be precisely focused on what is happening just north of avdiivka itself, this area between kuksokhim and avdiivka, looking at the enemy's attempts to advance. the analysis of the data that was available this morning from various sources indicates that there are active hostilities in the suburban development, and in fact , this is now the most difficult situation in the avdiyivka area, when we talk about other directions front, then i would still mention the lyman direction, because there are thorns and

yampolivka, there the enemy has attempts to push through. in our defense line , the enemy has partial success, given that a significant number of new russian ee units have been transferred there, and this is now reflected in the front line, given that on our side, as we understand, we are quite limited now we use ammunition for general economy, well , plus the issue of our personnel availability , because... we understand that all our the brigades that are currently receiving the front line have been standing in these areas for years, two years, they have, well, certain needs for personnel renewal. and just the personnel, ammunition and so on, it is affected by the situation on the front line, but i will repeat, in general, with all the power

of the enemy at the current stage, these areas both under avdiivka and under the yampolivka thorn are held by our military, which indicates that , that we have the experience of combat operations in difficult conditions, even with a limited amount of ammunition. personnel, in fact, if we talk about avdiivka, they are very emotional there, although this is a post by yuriy botusov, who was in abdiivka just yesterday, i don’t know where he is now, but where he actually talks there, what is there first of all kilometer from the entrance to the russian position and about how difficult we are, the fighting is actually in avdiivka, about the lack of... weapons there, but about me even about something else, if we talk about any scenarios regarding avdiivka, which what are

the threatening scenarios, which scenario, for example, the loss of avdiivka, whether there is a scenario, i do not know, there is a catastrophic one, when is our garrison in avdia surrounded? well, of course, there are different scenarios of the development of the situation, we understand that really now, well, for example, the enemy is now actively using aviation. for there in the last one and a half months , within 400 cabs were used there, that is, in fact, the number of uses of these powerful aviation means of impression on the enemy increased by an order of magnitude compared to the previous period, a significant amount of artillery and personnel, which rotates with the enemy more actively than with ours and new ones appear units of the russians in these... directions , we understand that pushing our garrison out of avdiivka for the enemy has both military and political goals, military goals

are actually present there, because pushing our garrison away from donetsk there ensures a number of tasks, in particular, there is a promising improving logistics along the entire front with movement, especially to the south, creating prerequisites for further requests, well, actually... political goals are connected with the fact that we remember that just a few days ago, putin did not boast that what is there the russian military there seized nine houses in avdiivka, although it was actually nine, i don't even know how he counted, because it was actually about the zone of summer development in the south of avdiivka, it was just at the tsar's pleasure, so in in any case , to speak briefly, er... our military holds this section of the front, it is of military importance for ukraine, at the same time even more important than keeping bahmut,

er, everything will depend on the availability of forces and reserves from of both sides, despite the fact that there really is other line defenses that have already been built at a certain distance from avdiyivka deep into our territory, but for now we see that our team... is betting on holding this section of the front, so far the most difficult section, as i said, between avtiyivka and kokhsokhim in other directions, in particular there in the same, well, in the north, where the 47th brigade stands, where in the north, where novabakhmutivka is, even the day before yesterday our counterattacks were active there, which actually knocked out the enemy from several areas, so that in any in this case , we understand that the situation is when... is in favor of one or the other side , but i repeat, the advantage of the enemy in the number of personnel and ammunition is still given, well, in signs, and here the question

is whether it is necessary to strengthen our garrison, or to introduce some other measures, means and solutions , which allow you to inflict more losses on the enemy and gain this area from the front. can there be a moment when holding an audiophile would be irrational? cash can be kept, because, in particular, coke is worth, other directions are those that can be received, questions now to ensure the security of this transport corridor through the swallows of the underdog, because, i repeat, it is now within 1.3, 1.5 km, even less than those combat zones, where confrontations with the enemy are currently ongoing, where the enemy is trying. .. to throw all your forces at this very section of the front, if this line is cut, or will be taken under close fire control by the enemy, then logistics will be complicated, and then just then

the question arises of receiving the garrison, which is located to the south of this line a clash with the enemy, and here everything will depend on whether the means will be added to force to knock out the enemy, in particular from those garden plots where the enemy has now had a certain advance during the last three days, the high representative of the european union, jose borel , was currently on a visit to poland, where in particular he criticized all his colleagues, representatives of the authorities in the european union of countries, stated that in fact european countries are now selling 155 shells to third countries, making money from this, instead of to transfer them to ukraine, and it is precisely because of this, and not because there is a lack of any production capacity, that it is not possible to fulfill the promise that was given that the european union and the country will jointly provide 1

million shells. 155-caliber by the end of march this year, however, as of 2023, in the end, only a third of this obligation was fulfilled and expecting only half will be able to be transferred, in general 500 thousand shells, 300 thousand shells - this is very little, right it still allows us to contain, at least the enemy at the front. well, actually, the question is ammunition, as we said earlier, is the most basic in understanding the course of hostilities. we talked about this last year, you don't need to be a great analyst there to understand the importance of artillery on the battlefield. let me remind you that when the russians attacked, they used from 20 to 60 thousand ammunition per day. now we are talking about the fact that we use 2000 ammunition per day, the enemy uses 600 ammunition.

and now umyerov appealed to his colleagues in poramstein to provide us with a transfer of at least 200,000 per month. 2,000 is in fact, 5,000 shells per day, which is actually possible there, reaching the russian level. now that we say that, what can we expect? the problem here is that actually... by the end of this year , ideally, we will have projectile production in the united states and in europe in the range of 2 million. 1.2 million is provided by the united states, and then three european manufacturers, there are the french make 100,000 per year, we are the netherlands, swedes and finns make 80,000 per year and red metal promises to reach 600

- 800 per year, that is, in fact, we will have by the end of this year and at the beginning of the next 2 million supplies of ammunition, a total of 2 million of production, and not all will come to us, but if we even count that 2 million will be for ukraine in full, then in any case, it is in the range of 5-6 thousand ammunition per day, and this is not enough for offensive actions, this indicates... that at such a rate of ammunition production , we can talk about an offensive in the next year for us will be extremely difficult, we do not have advance in the artillery to carry out active offensive actions, even in 2005, this is the main challenge associated with the low rate of production of supplies in europe and the usa, of course, thank you serhiy, thank you, serhiy zurets, military expert, director of the defense express company was with us, dear friends, but at 9 o'clock in the morning, i remind you that we have a moment of silence, we

honor the memory of all those ukrainians whose lives were chosen... russian aggression, we will return to the air with andriy seichuk at 9 :45, stay with espresso. let's take a moment silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
