the drone was allegedly shot down, but its fall caused damage to several tanks and cars. a fire also broke out on the territory of the plant, the pulkovovo airport even suspended the reception and departure of flights for an hour and a half. also on wednesday, crimeans heard explosions in sevastopol, near sakievpatoria, rozdolny, feodosia and gvardiysky. the ministry of defense of russia stated without evidence that they destroyed 17 ukrainian missiles in... the black sea area and three more over the peninsula. according to the version of the aggressor country, the fragments of the missiles fell on the territory of the military part of lyubimovtsi, but later it became known that a fire broke out north of sevastopol near the belbek airfield. two rockets hit the command post of the 38th fighter aviation regiment, another attacked the airfield's communication point. the spokesman of the ukrainian air force, yuriy ignat, confirmed that during the attack

russian servicemen were killed and wounded, at least three enemy planes were hit, according to the crimean wind telegram channel, during the attack on the belbek air base , russian general tatarenko was eliminated, they will fly less, it is clear that they have the appropriate base points, which they and we both know about, and the most important thing is that we know that these are our base points, so we clear. we are preparing on the night of february 1, the explosions continued, later ukrainian intelligence confirmed that our defense forces destroyed the missile boat ivanovyats of the black sea fleet of the russian federation. the enemy ship was patrolling the black sea near lake donuzlav, near the western coast of the occupied crimea. head of the gur kyrylo budanov added that the enemy ship was destroyed by six direct hits of naval drones magura a powerful explosion occurred during the drone attack. which may indicate

the detonation of mosquito missiles that were on board the russian boat. up to 40 crew members could be on board. the ministry of war of the russian federation did not comment on the loss of the ship. the purpose of this type of boat is to search for and destroy surface targets, and thanks to the moskid missile equipment, it could destroy large warships . after russia withdrew from the grain agreement, it kept two such ships in donuzlavia at all times to block shipping in... our main ports, through the northwestern part of the black sea , that is, in fact, such boats, they jumped out of lake donuzvav, took up a position, a firing position near mysatarkhankut, and could destroy any surface vessel in this area with their missiles, and by the way, when they planned this operation back in july last year, they destroyed ternopil as a target. just such a missile, that is

, the ship is really like that, it is supposedly small, but it is capable, and potentially very dangerous for us. on the night of saturday, february 3, a powerful fire broke out in oil refinery lukoil-volgograd, oil refining, in the krasnoarmy district of the city of volgograd. also, our bipels reached the belgorod and rostov regions. the russian authorities announced the attack on three regions of the russian federation. four ukrainian drones were allegedly shot down over the belgorod region, two over the volgograd region and one more over the rostov region. there are discounts on tantum verde, 10% in podorozhnyk pharmacies, thank you. there are discounts on citramonnitsa - 10% in psyllium bam and oskad pharmacies. there are 10% discounts on lactiale in stores.

greetings, i'm olga len, these are chronicles of hostilities, and we already have, well, consider it, the second month when the russians are conducting sufficiently active offensive actions along the entire front line, and let's see. well, where is the summary of what they succeeded or failed to do, especially in the last few days. map of combat operations for the period february 1-7, 2024, will february be the last month of the defense of evdiivka. shell

famine at the front, rumors of the resignation of commander-in-chief zaluzhnyi, and constant russian attacks along the entire length of the eastern front. so passed the first week of february. on february 10, the fifth month of defense of avdiivka will begin, counting from the time when putin ordered to take the city until the day of his re-elections as a result of the four-month offensive, the russians failed. to implement what was planned in the south from the water and experimental front practically did not budge. if we do not take into account small local changes, then from this flank they did not even manage to come close to cutting the logistics. from the northern flank, the occupiers had somewhat greater success, they knocked out the defense forces from the territory around terekon, and also cut the railway near the village of stepove. however , the enemy has been stuck near the steppe for more than a month, his attempts to break through our defenses even further north in direction on novokalinov and ocheretine also collapsed. therefore, the rashists involved their

favorite plan, dug up sub-copies, and went behind our backs. fierce fighting continued throughout the week in the vicinity of the tsarska okhota restaurant and several streets with one-story buildings on the southern outskirts of avdiivka. however, the armed forces did not succeed in completely knocking the enemy out of the city. the breakthrough of the occupiers in the north of avdiivka was an even bigger blow. here they are about... our redoubts and wedged between the coke plant and the sand pit, and also expanded the zone of its control east from the quarry to the village of kamianka. the situation is quite threatening, as the russians are constantly pouring new forces into their assaults, trying to widen the wedge driven into our defense. their main task is to get to the t-0505 highway, which in the city turns into hrushevska street industrial avenue. thus, they will be able to cut logs'. for the military, which defends the strategically important position of the anti-aircraft guns, as well as the central and

southern regions of avdiivka. it is obvious that the general staff understands this threat and is taking measures to neutralize it. it is here in these days and weeks that the fate of avdiivka will be decided. will it be able to withstand the onslaught of the occupiers until putin's election, or will the armed forces of ukraine have to withdraw troops to prepared positions outside the city. luhansk region - offensive on kupianskyi. lehman continues. after avdiivka, the russians have the largest grouping of troops in luhansk oblast. 55-60 thousand. their offensive has been going on since may. however, he did not have serious success. until the ammunition famine began in the armed forces, due to which the defense forces began to lose some positions fighting has been going on for the village of tabaivka for the second week, and the village itself is in a gray zone. at the same time, the enemy is trying to advance in other directions, in order to break the front line and go to... the soldiers' rear. thus , part of it advances in the direction of krokhmalne pishchane from the south, while others

attack the village of ivanivka from the north. finally, the third group of troops tries to break through along the r-07 road leading to kupyansk. by doing so, they want to cut off the defense forces that are fighting in kislivka and kotlyarivka. for a week , the russians were unable to carry out any offensives planned instead, a little further south in the liman direction, the enemy continues to attack terniy villages. polivka, despite the fact that the ukrainian brigades fighting on this part of the front boasted of 40 destroyed units of armored vehicles in a radius of 3 km2, the enemy still managed to push the front line several hundred meters in the direction of terni. ugledar front: until now , bloody positional battles are being fought near bakhmut without any changes to the front line in the ugledar direction. occupiers make a bet as a spare after the audio. breakthrough to coal. gift can become not less tactical success for the occupiers than the occupation of avdiivka, so

they also moved a significant amount of resources to this part of the front. this week, their attacks were mostly concentrated north of novomykhaivka in the direction of pobeda and paraskoviivka. in addition, the invaders began to attack the village of pobeda from the side of the occupied maryinka. also, from maryinka , the rashists continue to conduct assaults in the direction of kurakhovo. here they managed to push back the defense forces for several hundred meters. to the north of georgiyvka. the enemy is south of novomykhaivka advanced from the sweet to the water, but here in one of the assaults, the 72nd brigade managed to break a column of 11 enemy tanks and bmps. deoccupation of crimea. on the night of february 1, six naval drones attacked the ivanovets missile boat that left lake donuzlav and completely sank it along with the crew. at the same time , three 24th air forces of the armed forces of ukraine launched six. here

the commander of the fighter squadron, lieutenant general tatarinka, 10 military personnel flew into the command post, the communications post, and the planes were killed, three planes were heavily damaged. in the last week, the armed forces of ukraine launched missile attacks on the intelligence base at the rozdol airfield in saki. the commander of the navy of ukraine, not its pope, expressed confidence that the crimean bridge will not be ready by the end of 2000. 24th. we win daily, death to enemies. well, this is the situation, and let's talk in more detail with oleksiy hetman, reserve major of nsu, a veteran of ukraine. russian war. and congratulations, mr. oleksii. good evening. and let's, you know, start right away with avdiivka, because this is currently the most dangerous situation, and there, well, objectively, now the russians are carrying out the most assaults , the russians are most active, and especially, if

they show us a map, we will be able to see it, especially, let's still focus on the threat to ours. this zenith , which is in the south of avdiivka, and where we see two such breakthroughs, one near the restaurant, this is a royal hunt, the other is like a wedge that goes closer to our logistics route to the actual road, which is important for the defense of avdiivka, mr. oleksii , please tell me why, why us now we are talking about such a threat in general. and what is the threat of losing the zenith for the entire defense of avdiyivka, that is, what could be here, why exactly such attention to this moment? to the t05 05 track and to the track and to this position itself, i.e. is there any threat to the encirclement of this position

at all? , which is holding the defense there, it tracks so with... is under fire control the enemy, well, we can see it on the map, the distance there is short, it can be fired upon with , well, with any weapon, artillery, mortar, even small-arms, but at certain nights you can drive there without light, well, with great danger, something, what, everything , which is necessary for the garrison, i.e. ammunition, including water, food, medicine, taking out the wounded, therefore... it is through this route that our entire group there is fed, if the road is cut, it will remain, the group in avdiivka will remain in the garrison only what they have, well, whatever they say, on their own, there, and it will be enough, well, for a few days, no more, then, if they don’t constantly bring in everything that is necessary, then no, there will be nothing to hold the defense,

of course, there are small warehouses there, they they are disguised, they are mostly in kaksokhim, but it is... well, a day or two is what i said, maybe, maybe more, maybe it will be enough for longer, maybe for a week, well, no more, because yes, well, we already understand large warehouses there , no one does, because they can be vulnerable, god's harrows fly something there, detonation, even us we will suffer from the fact that our own warehouse was blown up, so without this road it will be impossible to maintain defense there, whether someone likes it or not, the garrison will have to be withdrawn. well, there will be no other way out , and it will also be quite problematic to take him away, if the russians will control this road, we will have to leave through the fields, as they say, well, this is also extremely dangerous, and the russians can use this so that when the troops are leave in order to cause maximum damage, so the situation is really extremely, extremely difficult, russians,

well, how do they carry out assault actions there? you just said that, but yes, let 's go a little deeper, what does that mean they are constantly targeting these assault groups, constantly relocating, it means that they have a certain reserve in that direction, and they do what is called tactical rotations, that is, some a unit, a group, well, it doesn't matter what they call them there, makes assault actions, offensive actions, we fight back, they return to themselves there to themselves. there they are supplemented, they provide us with appropriate help, give us the opportunity to rest, the next assault type is already being made by a new group, the new group has been torn apart, the third new group is making, even the russians want these groups that are leaving not to cross physically with those groups that are already ready for the next offensive actions, that is, there are constantly fresh forces with full ammunition , are fully

prepared, and our defense is held by the same people, that is, the russians, three or four groups, for example, during the day, they carried out some assault actions, constantly new groups, in our country, the same people do, well, they give eight offensive days, it exhausts both physically and morally, and even weapons wear out, because they need to be periodically put in order , well, to put it more simply, weapons need to be cleaned, if only for this, so that there is time, and as the battles there go on non-stop, sometimes even this is not enough time to even clean the weapons, well, when you talk about the route and the threat of what will have to be... you take out the defenders from certain positions, well, first of all, it is again about the position of the anti-aircraft guns, which is wedged so in the south, it is enough to see now it's on the map. but also, well, for example, if you look, there are positions, he there to the north, is this route also alive, and

this means that there will have to be a departure from there, or will it be some independent story from this one, well, we can see there behind the railway, if we look further east there, north of avdiyivka itself, again after all , the same coke chemical, is it possible to hold positions on... chemistry, if this route is somehow blocked there from the south side. how do you rate it? we took the worst option, that they will control this route, if we can continue to keep the defense there and they will not be able to control it if we don't fire physically, then it allows us to do this again, well, to constantly deliver everything that we say, everything that is necessary, everything that we just talked about, to support this garrison there and even can. make small rotations , especially if someone is already extremely exhausted, then it is better to take such a serviceman away, replace him with the newest one, because

there is no point in a person who is already overtired, then he cannot conduct combat operations effectively, should we keep this defensive ideal, well, of course , it is worth it, because first of all, these are the dominant heights - this is a convenient position, a tactically convenient position, i even said... the same institute of war research wrote that the loss, for example, of this settlement in ovdiivka will not have a significant, strategic effect on the entire front line. tactically, yes, it will be a tactical advantage for the russians, a tactical failure on our part, well, nothing more, why does it want, why does it want to be there, why does the enemy do this, well, for almost 10 years, it has been trying to knock us out of there in different ways, with different numbers of people , because from this distance we can shell. artillery systems of the city of donetsk, we did not do this, but we did not shoot at civilian objects, of course, but such a possibility exists, and therefore the russians cannot

build some powerful military hub there, that is, some headquarters or some warehouses, because they understand , that they will be vulnerable to our artillery, not only with rockets, although it would be very necessary for the russians, it would be very useful, because in donetsk, well, there is electricity and gas, and everything necessary. water, that is, all communications are present there, and well it is possible, it is possible to do something more or less serious from a military point of view, they do not do it, because they understand that our intelligence will immediately know about it, and he will be destroyed by our artillery, besides, if we talk about retreat, then from retreat it will be necessary not for several kilometers, but perhaps for 15-20 km, because further to the west of avdiivka there is already a lowland, that is, avdiivka is at a reasonable height. of course, there is a lowland around it, so to move a kilometer or two away and take up positions in the lowlands, well, no one will do that to do, because this is a very bad position from a military point of view, the next ones, well

relatively, well not relatively, are not unknown heights, but simply the next heights, if you look at the map, they are somewhere 15-20 km away, that is why the defenses will have to keep making fortifications, certain that they have already been made there in that place, so it is also not very pleasant, because for... it will be, well, in their propaganda channels, well, there will be a lot of talk about how they pushed our troops at a long distance, they advanced almost 20 km there, they will definitely count square meters, tell how much territory they liberated and so on, well, this is what they like to do, although in fact any army would do it, because there is no point in being in the lowlands, why do we still need to hold avdiivka, because the enemy throws a large amount of manpower and equipment there. well, you already said that they need to show some progress on

the front line before the elections, well, the so-called elections of president putin, on march 15-17, well, that's their deadline, well , most likely they will want to do it on the beginning of march, so that there would be several days or weeks in order to spread this information through their media channel, this is the third deadline they have already set for avdiivka in the last six months. because starting from october 10, they set a deadline until december 14, october 10 last year, until december 14, just when putin's press conference was held, where he said that he would run, well, run for president, then the second deadline was until january 1 until the end of the year, and now it is the third deadline, they are suffering heavy losses there, and the task of any army in wartime -destroy the enemy's army, and we succeed there, well, we see the losses for the period from october 10 of last year to today. they lost more manpower in the avdiiv direction than the soviet union lost in the entire afghan war, that is, during the 10 years of the war, the soviet union lost approximately 14,500.

servicemen near avdiivka, the russians have already lost 17 servicemen, that is, not comparable losses, insane losses for the russians, but if there is a political basis, of course they will not stop and will continue to throw storm z, storm c, from the north, from the south , the donetsk people, the donetsk people's republic, their armed forces, well, the so-called donetsk people's republic, the spartak battalion, the roasted rooster battalion, and so on, are attacking there, that is, these units are conducting combat operations there. that's why these people have a particularly great desire to destroy these troops, so we will stand there as long as there is an opportunity to keep up the pace and destroy the enemy, there are no other tasks there, and the russians, of course, on the contrary , this month will definitely be extremely tense, especially dlykas, well, by the way , we will talk about kupin to kupinsk there, too, i understand, i'm just saying that

they will go in these two directions. well, at least they announced that these are the two directions, they should release, as they say, before the beginning, before the presidential elections, before the voting already , let's put it this way, and there will be very powerful offensive actions both there and there, well, what will they succeed , well, we 'll see, but we must remember that , first of all, we have a shortage of shells, a shortage of cartridges, not such a large number of military personnel in compared to the russians, who have enough of everything so far, and equipment and shells and ammunition and people, and well... and people are not just enough, there are an insane number of them, let's remember that now in russian- in the ukrainian war, there is almost half a million and a half million russian army, so compared to our servicemen , those who hold the defense, well, it is many times more, many times more russians, well, tell me, and if we talk now about what, well, we are talking about , that it is necessary to somehow strengthen ukrainian

armed forces. precisely at these key points in avdiivka, i.e. it is not a question of somehow withdrawing from there and this will solve something, it will not solve any issue, of course, but if we are talking about strengthening, what can this strengthening be, that is, whatever it should be, because there were and are well-equipped positions there, nevertheless, there is a fairly high saturation of drones, of course there are not many drones here, but none the less. there are a lot of them, objectively speaking, what else could be done to make such breakthroughs impossible, or at least when they became possible, it was enough to quickly knock out the russians from there, well, first of all, we have certain reserves, that is, we did not use all the reserves that are in the interior of the country, well, it is obvious, if we had used all the reserves, then it would have already the situation is extremely dangerous, we are pulling up the reserves on some areas in the kupinsky

direction to pull up the reserves. there is no open information about whether the reserves are being pulled up to avdiivka, but i am sure that our garrison is being strengthened there little by little, what needs to be done in order to hold the enemy, well, you know, these are quite simple answers, but the difficulty lies in the fact that such simple answers do not provide solutions to such apparently simple questions. at first glance, it is extremely difficult, sometimes almost impossible , that it is necessary, first of all, to build, it was already necessary to build, powerful fortifications where we can, well, the first or second line, if the first line breaks through, so that we could withdraw to the second or third line, the russians managed to do this while we were preparing our spring offensive, the summer, or rather it became, during the spring and summer of last year, they

built, we remember. we remember these lines of surovykin, these two first, third, second lines of defense, and they built not just dug a trench and put dragon's teeth, they made reinforced concrete structures there, that is, there are dugouts that are two, even three stories underground, there are a lot of underground communications , that is, they made powerful ones, er, if i am not mistaken, i may be slightly wrong in the number, but they made something about 600 km of trenches and did not just dig them with a tractor, but made them equipped, that is, with pillboxes with... with reinforced concrete and with very well -fortified trenches, well, those cities where they have to lead the defense, unfortunately, we have such powerful fortifications behind avdiivka, behind kupinsky, well, we did not have time to make them so powerful , and we did not have the opportunity, the equipment, such a number of people to be able to do it, there is something, there are some e.
