josep borel, so i will start our military column with the european history of shells for ukraine, more precisely, about the fate of shells, because we remember that european countries promised to transfer 1 million shells of 155 mm caliber to ukraine, but by march at best they will be able to deliver only half , just before arriving in kyiv, eu representative josep borel said that the eu is not fulfilling its own supply plans. ammunition to ukraine is not because the eu country lacks production capacity, the matter is different, that it says, we can produce, but an important part of our products is exported to third countries - said boreli, therefore it is better to let the eu countries negotiate with their customers and redirect these products to ukraine, that's how i see two conclusions in this story, the first, why the eu has not done this before. and

because in fact the leadership of the eu does not really have effective mechanisms of influence on the defense industry of their countries. the threat of a war with russia for europe, in my opinion, has not yet become such a sufficient factor for a radical reformatting of the work of european defense industry, and it is, by the way, private and operates according to market mechanisms and rather focuses on already paid contracts. and the second conclusion. borel is still wrong about the assessment of the capabilities of european countries to manufacture a sufficient amount of ammunition to meet the real needs of the ukrainian army. and how much do these european countries need and how much can they produce? during the last year, during the counteroffensive, ukraine used up to 7,000 ammunition per day, and this was... actually

the fire peak of ukraine, and now, as recently defense minister umirov wrote to european partners, ukraine is experiencing a critical shortage of artillery shells and the armed forces can fire no more than 2,000 shells per day, which is three times less than what russia uses, and now the ministry of defense of ukraine has asked its partners to supply about 200,000 projectiles nabi or 2.4 million per year, that is, to reach a daily rate of fire of about 6,500 ammunition, but now russia's own production, together with the supply of shells from north korea, amounts to somewhere up to 4 million shells per year, that is, in fact, 11 thousand per day, so the enemy still has a certain quantitative advantage, and now regarding the production of tempos, regarding the production of ammunition in the countries of the united states. of the european union, in fact

, at the end of this year, according to optimistic figures, the united states will be producing about 1.2 million shells, while european countries have such figures, rain metal will make 800 thousand, the french company leading in the manufacture of ammunition will make 100,000, and about 80 thousand per year will be manufactured by the namo concern, which unites. there are three countries, france, sweden, the netherlands and finland, they will make 80,000, that is , in general, we should expect the production of up to 2-2 ammunition, but it will still be at the end of this year according to the most optimistic indicators, so some countries of the european the union, in particular the baltic states, say that it is necessary to purchase shells from other countries. other countries, and

not only in the countries of the european union, what options can these be? well, in particular, it can be said that the purchase of shells in south korea, australia, japan, india, pakistan and own supply of cluster munitions from the united states. all this can be done, i really hope that these steps will be taken to minimize the advantage of the enemy in the battle, because now, as we see, our gunners are forced to contribute. changed his combat tactics , use shells extremely sparingly, sometimes they even have to ignore these russian attacks in small groups, because he will no longer release one shell there or several shells three by three against these russian attack aircraft, the enemy actually uses this, so this affects, in principle, the course of hostilities, and now we are forced to bring to the fore the use of fpv drones, which can only partially compensate for the lack of

full-fledged artillery, then we will proceed to a more detailed consideration of the situation in certain areas of the front, therefore that the intensity, by the way, over the past day was... a very high 126 combat clashes, this is actually, in my opinion, the highest figure since october last year, when russia began its next offensive operations there on almost all areas of the front, and now such sections of the front there are many hot ones, there are tsevdiivka and maryanka, and actually the kupina-liman direction, what is happening there, now we will learn more details, ivan is joining us just now. shevtsov is the head of the press service of the 15th mobile border detachment of the state border service of ukraine, more precisely and briefly, it is the steel border assault brigade. mr. ivan, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. glory to ukraine! glory to the heroes. i would like

to ask you what the current situation is in the area of ​​responsibility of your brigade, because yes or else it has a tangent right there to the kupyansk zone. there is a lot of information that the enemy at... is trying to attack sinkivka, i understand somewhere near you, and there was information that the enemy is either trying to bypass sinkivka or cannot do it, what is the latest information from this part of the front, where is your brigade standing? well, in general , the situation remains tense on the estuary in the kupyan direction, the enemy continues to try to attack the positions of the defense forces, if we talk directly about the kupyan direction, then the most heated is there point. this is the area of ​​the village of sinkivka , it was there during the past day that the enemy tried eight times to go on the offensive, but all attacks were repulsed, the other day, literally 2-3 days ago, the enemy tried to bypass senkivka and

enter from the direction of ivanovka, but there too he suffered losses. therefore , senkivka still remains the hottest spot in the kupinsky direction. and about accumulation. of the enemy force, we all there remember the information there two days ago, when force wrote there, everyone there started to comment in fear that there 40,000 personnel, 500 tanks and such and such have been accumulated, as i understand it, in fact, this information is a little incorrect, because the de facto enemy still received a significant amount of personnel and equipment in this area, realizing that very it is easy to supply weapons to equipment from the russian federation, is it actually happening now... the accumulation of some additional force compared to what was, well, there was a gap there, well, i don’t know, a couple of weeks before that, everything is true, the enemy is really accumulating personnel and techniques, but i want to note that this is according to his planned rotation, that such a situation occurs periodically,

since the enemy suffers quite large losses during the assaults, then he must be replenished accordingly, and here is this number. both tanks and personnel, it arrives just in time to replenish those resources that the enemy lost, for example, only during the past day in the lamano-kupinsky direction, the enemy lost almost 300 servicemen wounded and killed 279, and also suffered heavy losses in equipment, well that is, if we they said that 500-600 tanks arrived a week ago, but in the past day alone, the enemy lost 88 units of equipment, 12 tanks and 34 bmps, that is, this is a renewal of the losses he is suffering. mr. ivan, when we spoke with you two weeks ago, you said then that the enemy, in principle, does not use armored vehicles much and mainly acts, well, with ground assault groups.

now, if there is such a significant number of losses of tanks in the bmp, does it mean that the enemy has started using armored vehicles in your area as well during offensive operations. the number of affected equipment depends on the first depending on the number of attacks carried out by the enemy , if two weeks ago there were six to eight attacks, then during the past day there were 28 combat clashes, the more the enemy storms, the more he uses his equipment, and therefore it is possible to hit more tanks, more bmp , that is, in principle, the enemy does not change his tactics, he conducts assault actions, and when there are favorable weather conditions, and now they are more... less favorable, he uses heavy equipment accordingly. if i ask you a little about another direction, there is tabaivka starch, how far is it from us, do you know what's going on there, what's there in terms of deterring the enemy? at the moment, well

, it was starchy, there the defense forces retreated literally 200-300 m in order to save lives and occupy more profitable areas. firing position, everything remains as it was, the enemy has not carried out any offensive actions on tabaivka recently, it is under the full control of the armed forces of ukraine. and i would like to ask in more detail about the enemy's use of aviation, artillery and drones, how these three components are currently used by the enemy, what is the relationship with our capabilities in these three components, both aviation and drones are used, actively used by the enemy, again it depends on the weather conditions, when it is snowing or it is raining heavily, then accordingly ... the use is decreasing, during the last day we had one air strike

and 23 fpv drone use, in principle it is not much, sometimes more, there are 50 and 60 drone use, as far as we are concerned, we are also not standing still, he right now you you see, one of the damage to the equipment that was used by the enemy to arrange its engineering facilities is... the work of the border guards of the steel border, we constantly conduct aerial reconnaissance and in case of detection of any new positions, we carry out, take measures to destroy enemy positions and equipment, well that is, in fact, the enemy, as always , tries to dig in at any opportunity, and as we can see, the border guards are fighting this, but the question arises, our fortification, i hope that we are also now taking measures aimed at strengthening us in war , fortification is a priority measure, before sending

a soldier to a position, this position must be equipped, equipped in terms of engineering, that is why we have fortifications, we have had a lot of time, we have been in this area since the summer, we dug deep enough, good fortifications, and now all our servicemen are. in safety, and this is the most important thing, new positions are really also, we are practicing, we are making new positions, and we are also carrying out demining of the area, to date, demining of the area prevents the penetration of drg. and when we think a little bit about the use of semi-drones, as i understand it, the weather has worsened now, and on both sides the use of these ... in itself the impression has diminished, and then the artillery comes to the fore again,

do we have there is a certain parity, do we still have to save ammunition, because before turning on yours, i tried to analyze what happens with the amount of ammunition, that in some ways we have less opportunity than the enemy, maybe on your the situation is somewhat different in the area, i can't say for the units that are with us. and other units of the armed forces, i can only say for the units of the steel border, we have our own artillery, i will not say that we do not have ammunition, we do have them, we use them, but we have a very big difference from the armed forces of the russian federation, and it consists in the fact that every shot, our shot, it must be accurate, our servicemen, our gunners try not to carry out chaotic shelling, like this... the military of the russian federation, but to fire accurate shots directly

at the specified coordinates, that is, aerial reconnaissance detects an object and it is this object that is fired upon, the enemy conducts mainly chaotic shelling with the aim of scaring the local population, he fires not only at the positions of the defense forces, but also at the border populated place, it is both in the conflict zone and on the state border with the russian federation. sir, i would like to... say something more about the mortars, because i heard that in fact, a significant part of the fire work there is done by the mortars, as with that, do you have enough ammunition specifically for the mortars, are they used in the fight against the enemy? yes, of course, we also actively use mortars, every unit of ours is armed with mortars, but still, there is no way to constantly use them in order to, again in order to... to save the lives of servicemen, two or three shots , the servicemen hide in the dugout ,

discovered a position, discovered the movement of enemy servicemen, fired two or three shots, hid in a dugout, all this is done so that our military personnel remain alive and healthy, and what other restrictions does the winter now impose on the conduct of hostilities, are there any urgent needs that, well... er, need to be met from the point of view of our military personnel, or are there any nuances related to winter? well, if we talk about everyday life, in principle, we have now... not such difficult weather conditions, there is no frost -20, the servicemen are provided with everything they need, the state, our unit provides well, this is the offensive guard brigade, in principle, we are in nothing nothing we need, but fpv drones are a constant need, because we use them most often

and it is thanks to fpv drones that we have the most positive injuries, but now general. are switching to the fact that their companies of unmanned strike systems are becoming battalions , the number of personnel is increasing , which are using, well, fv drones for various purposes, does this trend extend to the brigades of the state border service, as in the example of your brigade, it happens when it was formed our brigade, that's all already happened taken into account, every division that we have, it has in its composition the appropriate ... air reconnaissance division and the strike drone division, in addition, we have a separate division of combat strike drones that are used completely throughout the site, that is, we have foreseen this before and use all your potential as much as possible. perhaps then you also have separate units that are

focused on the use of electronic warfare means, that is, there may be a department or even a separate company in the composition b... the brigade, which carries out this responsible task, has separate units that carry out the detection and fight against drones, and in addition, we have trench guards, and every serviceman who is in position is trained to work with anti-drone guns , we have an echeloned, echeloned anti -drone system and we use every possible available means that we have. and this allows , first of all, again to preserve the life and health of our soldiers. mr. ivan, thank you very much for your inclusion, for what you do for of our country, for what your brothers are doing, i will remind our viewers that it was ivan shevtsov, the head of the press service of the 15th mobile border detachment, which is now the steel border assault brigade,

i served as a rifleman, after the full-time military service began. war, my unit was ordered to defend mariupol, my unit was engaged in reconnaissance, but well, our main task was as a drg group, we went close to and identified them, came into contact with them, coordinated the actions of our artillery, transferred their positions so that our guys could... reach out and we could attack them. our eyes informed us

that another group of drgs was moving in our direction. we were the first to open fire on them. then they wounded my commander, that evening. we repelled their, their attack. how close we work. but it is 50 m, it was probably like that somewhere, maybe it was enough somewhere, it was a dark night, and it was very strong, i even ran out of all ammunition, i fired everything, everything i had, and my friend, don't catch my gaw, don't forget about you, the fight was going on, i... i just heard my commander yelling, commander wounded, commander wounded, i immediately ran to side to the shouts, because of the landing, he was there

50 meters from me, and i already ran up, already one of my comrades, who, unfortunately, is now considered missing, he was already putting a tourniquet on the commander's leg, i remember it well, there was a lot of blood, we had to remove the bulletproof vest from... the commander, and so we dragged him by his things, by his jacket, grabbed him they dragged him through that landing, dragged him to the nearest shelter , stabbed him in the leg, because we had nothing else, and we quickly loaded him into a truck during the battle, and i and my comrades loaded him into a truck, which we also had... the commander was very cool, you know, when, when all this movement began, he told us that, guys, we will fight to

the last and said, i did not leave you under any circumstances, unfortunately he died during the evacuation from mariupol, the helicopter in which he was flying was shot down, a battle was waged until we found themselves completely surrounded, received a command to break through the encirclement. and we followed the order, we left mariupol and ran into russian and dpr soldiers, and that's how we were taken prisoner, we were interrogated, eh. they put me in a cell, some detainees were still sitting in the cell, can i smoke a cigarette, because i can't remember it calmly. then somewhere in the middle of the night

, some people came to us, introduced themselves as representatives of the chechen people's republic and immediately started asking questions, who knows, who knows what akhmat is, of course we they were silent, because it's the first time i've heard such a thing, i know that akhmat is tea, and just because of that they started us without... sticks, smashed our heads with blood, there was, in general, all the face in blood, the whole head is covered in blood, they then left, the employees of the bop came, put us in a chair, took us away, well , we started going to the hospital, they put a pm on my head and said that if you complain about your health, then go back to the hospital you can't, they took

us to a hospital with... the doctor on duty there still didn't want to stitch up my colleague my brother-in-law, because he said that i would not sew dill, but he was ordered to sew, he sewed, then we were taken to obop, and obop and i were taken to olenivka several days later. colony number 120. we were constantly, constantly beaten, their reception is generally sacred, they simply destroy you there, the guys pissed blood there, just some, really, they just wore them out. i remember one such moment when

they brought ours. boys, a new stage arrived, and as they ran through the hot corridor, one of our soldiers shouted: glory ukraine, after which he was immediately shot on the spot. you can tell a lot about captivity, well, it's unpleasant to remember, they survived there as best they could, but at first they slept on a baton, just on a baton, in an isolation cell. then later they gave us pallets, you can see how they are standing, we slept on those pallets, well, the conditions were simply unsanitary, for 50 people in a cell, a ladle of water a day, and that ladle might not even reach you, after

that , how i came... all the horrors of captivity have been exchanged for me thank god, i thank all my relatives, friends who prayed for me, who believed that i would pass it, i received , well, after the exchange, medical aid, i was in captivity for 45 kg, now i have recovered a little, but i decided to continue serving, now i am serving in one of the... volyn units of the national guards of ukraine. i am currently serving in my specialty, i am a company sanitary instructor. having combat experience, i can say that the success of the task depends not only on how to conduct combat operations, but also on how timely medical aid is provided to the wounded, their evacuation, a combat medic must have considerable training and

physical strength, because... that sometimes it happens that you have to push a much bigger person behind you, it is very difficult, especially when a person is injured, he is weakened, he is just like a log, and there are very stressful situations in which it is very difficult to accept such decisions, because the battle is a non-standard situation, it is not at all something that you are taught in a unit or in primary institutions where civilian medicine is generally taught, or even military medicine, our battle is not yet over... it is over, it continues , we have to hold on, learn and do everything for our victory. to everyone hello, this is svoboda live. bigusinfo journalists were monitored by individual employees of the sbu, and therefore it is not necessary to cast a shadow on the entire service, which effectively counters russian aggression. this is the opinion of vasyl malyuk, head of the sbu. but at biguus

info, which was monitored by the operatives, they do not believe it either
