but it will be such a moment, that's why this meeting is important, i hope it will be positive , i hope that they will not just declare about further support for ukraine, how much, how much is needed, but about specific, quick help in the near future. one more thing i wanted to ask you, mr. valery, about the statement of the president of poland andrzej duda that he is confident that trump will end the war in ukraine in 24 hours, as he promised, let's listen to what duda said and then continue. based on his personal experience of the president who having worked with president trump once, i can say that what he promised me was fulfilled. therefore, if i received any promise from trump, if he promised me something, then it was fulfilled. the question was about the promise. regarding the end of the war in ukraine, under

what conditions can trump do it? well, first of all, after all, the key phrase was, if trump promised me, he fulfilled it, that is, and now, you know, all this approaching election day , you will hear a lot of corrections about donald trump from the current politicians. well, that's understandable. everyone is putting their eggs in different baskets, because there are really no elections in the usa . and i think that not everything is clear there yet, and we don't know the result, but politicians are already starting to try a little bit, you know, not to concentrate on one candidate, i don't know if it's right, but with regard to what is sometimes stated, it is necessary to understand that every phrase, it has a material embodiment, in this regard,

the president of poland, as well as... if, after these statements , anjou dudi manages to somehow influence donald trump so that he actually blocks aid to ukraine, so that he does not block it, then i would ask the president of poland to do it now, while there is still an opportunity, because later, when there 24 hours, yes, then in 24... maybe warsaw, i will just remind the president, poland, that they let missiles into their territory, what is going on now, russian missiles flew in without being able to shoot them down, and now there is a conversation about this in the prosecutor's office of poland, and they constantly raise at least a couple now fighter jets in order to prevent such an outcome, that is why i think that we will be grateful to anzh duda if he influences donald trump in order to be democratic... now the initiative to support

ukraine has found some support not only in the republicans, but also in donald trump personally, and in this group, who are now blocking the vote to help not ukraine, but help the world. another topic that will be evident over the last, or the next, and the last and the next months, is the election of putin, i'm not calling the election of the president, because it's... putin, i don't call it the presidential election, because it's putin's re-election, or putin's re-approval, or putin's extension of powers , putin is going to hold elections in the occupied territories of the ukrainian state, that is, in those territories that they have already included in the constitution, declared russian. is this a reason for ukraine to question your non-recognition?

of putin's legitimacy as the president of the russian federation, and that he eventually received the self-proclaimed president of the russian federation vladimir putin, well, how the world regards to lukashenka? you know, the world treats lukashenko better than putin. putin actually received, well, if we speak in our internal language, a suspicion or an international sentence, well, not a sentence, still a suspicion. yes, the international court, he is a criminal from the point of view of international justice, so here it is not about the image that even lukashenka has in belarus, so in principle, i think that the recognition of the elections in russia, it will, of course, be parts of the countries, they do not direct observers, because they absolutely do not believe in the fact that some procedures can be ensured, by the way, this is evidenced even by the fact that the russians have this

top in mind, they were even afraid of what they themselves had organized, they launched one of the candidates there. so that he could show that something can be done by another opinion that does not claim that war is the most correct way out for the development of russia, but when he began to collect even votes for the fact that a certain number of 100 thousand is needed, it seems, in order to become a candidate, at the last moment, they threw him off this whole train, because they understand what... he can then recruit more than those uh basically pocket or, i would say, such manipulative parties, communist, there are three parties that they have now admitted to the elections, that is, they planned five candidates, even and they couldn't do it,

so in principle you can see where the situation will turn, there will be no such recognition, of course there will be some countries that are still playing along with russia, unfortunately, in the world, among them there are big ones. countries give russia the opportunity to do just that, but after that there will be a serious analysis of the canvases in the country itself the kremlin itself, because their task now is to seize another six years of power, they, i mean from the wider circle of putin's entourage, what will happen after that is quite difficult to predict, because they also roughly understand at what cost, including them, not that they... for me, no, they have a different level there, yachts, airplanes and billions, but they count that way, after all, out of 20 billion, well, i gave two, well, five, well seven, well, it’s already much further, so there will be interesting processes, and until this

day there will be no interesting ones, at most what the russian protest able, is to postpone the voting for 12 hours, or rather... come to the polls at 12 hours, not the first, that's what they 've been calling for now, well, what can i say, they, they 've missed their moment of influence , and that's why the situation will be like this, but external, external evaluations, as you ask, so that something changes and is called differently, i wouldn't call it self-proclaimed there, maybe so, but here it's a criminal who unleashed criminal war well, here, without any doubt , the status of the criminal is much more important than the status the self-proclaimed president or the president who falsifies the elections there, because no one canceled the warrant of the international criminal court, there were decrees on the release

of zaluzhny and the appointment of syrskyi, i will tell you that the decree of the president of ukraine on the release of zaluzhny does not say about the reasons for the release, just release zaluzhnyi valery. fedorovych, from the post of commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, zaluzhnyi left not of his own volition, because i think that this would have been indicated in the decree, as far as i understand, and syrsky appointed as the commander -in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, here, accordingly , there is no reason, no reason, but in zaluzhnye there is no reason for dismissal, and this question in principle remains open and obviously this question will also be asked of president zelensky later. and we will actually conclude our big conversation, thank you for being with us this evening and thank you for an interesting conversation, the information day was quite so rich and especially the evening regarding resignations and appointments to the higher command

of the armed forces of ukraine. let me remind you that today president zelenskyi dismissed valery zaluzhnyi from the position of commander -in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, a decree has already appeared on the official page of the president of ukraine and... a parallel decree on the appointment of colonel-general of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi as the new commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine until now syrskyi commanded the ground forces of the armed forces forces of ukraine, he is 58 years old, he was born in russia, graduated from the moscow higher military command school, after school he worked in ukraine, well then the ukrainian ssr, then in independent ukraine, well actually he became a ukrainian general, a hero of ukraine for the defense of kyiv, well, let's... monitor how and what general syrskyi will talk about after his appointment and in his new status, and we will wait for some kind of explanation from volodymyr zelenskyi, after all, about what happened the reason for valery zaluzhny's resignation, because this question will obviously be asked to him repeatedly. this, my friends,

the entire front line, and let's see, well, where is the summary of what they succeeded or did not succeed, especially in the last few days, the map of combat operations for the period 1- on february 7 , 2024, will february be the last month of defense of avdiyivka, projectile... at the front, there are rumors about the resignation of the commander-in-chief of zaluzhny and constant attacks of the russians along the entire length of the eastern front, that's how the first week of february passed. 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-election. as a result of the four-month offensive, the russians were unable to implement what they had planned. in the south, from the water and experimental front, the front practically did not move. if we do not take into account small local ones. then from this flank they did not even manage to come close to cutting logistics. from

the northern flank, the occupiers had somewhat larger ones successes, they knocked out the defense forces from the territory around terekon, and also cut off for the difference in the area of ​​the village of stepove. however , the enemy has been stuck near stepovoy for more than a month. his attempts to break through our defenses further north in the direction of novokalinov and ocheretyne also failed. so the rashists attracted their favorite. the plan: they dug trenches, went to our rear, during the week fierce battles continued in the area of ​​the tsarska okhota restaurant and several streets with one-story buildings on the southern outskirts of avdiyiv. however, the armed forces did not managed to completely knock out the enemy outside the city. the breakthrough of the occupiers in the north of avdiivka was an even bigger blow. here they broke through our redoubts and wedged themselves between the coke chemical plant and the sand pit, and also expanded their control zone east of the pit to the village of kamyanka. 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 out... onto the t-0505 highway, which in the city turns into hrushevska street industrial avenue. thus, they will be able to cut logistics for the military, which defends the strategically important position of zenit, 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 avdiyivka will be decided, will it be able to withstand the onslaught of the occupiers until the elections? whether the armed forces of ukraine will have to withdraw troops to prepared positions outside the city. luhansk region the offensive on kupyansky liman continues. after vdiyivka , the russians have the most in luhansk oblast groups of troops number 55-60,000. 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. for the village of tabaivka, it is already the second week. battles are going on, and the village itself is in a gray zone, at the same time , the enemy is trying to advance in other directions to break the front line and get behind our soldiers. so, part of it advances in the direction of krokhmalne pishchane from the south, while others attack the village of ivanivka from the north. finally, a third group of troops tries 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. during a week of offensives, the russians were unable to accomplish what they had planned. instead, somewhat further south in the direction of the lyman, the enemy continues to attack the villages of terny and yampolivka. despite the fact that the ukrainian brigades fighting on this part of the front boasted 40 destroyed units of armored vehicles in a radius of 3 km2. the enemy did manage to push the front line

several hundred meters in the direction of terni. coal mining front. meanwhile, positions are being held under bakhmut. bloody battles without any changes to the front line exactly in the direction of ughledar, the occupiers make a bet as a spare after avdiyvka. a breakthrough to ughledar can be no less a tactical success for the invaders 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... from the side of occupied maryinka, also from maryinka, the rashists continue to conduct assaults towards kurakhovo, here they managed to push back the defense forces several hundred meters north of georgiivka. to the south of novomykhaivka, the enemy was advancing from a sweet floodplain, but here in one of the assaults, the 72nd brigade managed to destroy a column of 11

enemy tanks and bmps. deoccupation of crimea. on the night of february 1, six naval drones attacked a missile boat. who came out of lake donuzlav and completely drowned him along with the team. at the same time, three su-24s of the air force of the armed forces forces of ukraine fired six storm shadow missiles at the scalp eg at belbek air base. here , a communications post flew into the command post and the commander of the fighter squadron, lieutenant general tatarinka, died on the planes. 10 troops, three aircraft were heavily damaged this week. the armed forces launched missile strikes on the base of the in the airfields of rozdol in sacks, the commander of the navy of ukraine nei, the pope , expressed confidence that the crimean bridge will not be ready by the end of 2024. we win daily, death to enemies. well, this is the situation, let's talk with oleksiy in more detail hetman, a reserve major of nsu, a veteran of the ukrainian-russian war. and congratulations, mr.

oleksii. good evening and let's know. let's start right away from avdiyivka, because this is currently the most dangerous situation, and there, well, objectively, the russians are conducting the most assaults, the russians are most active, and especially, if they show us a map, then we will be able to see it, especially, let's still focus on the threat to our zenith position, which is located in the south-south of avdiivka, and where we 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... avdiyivka, mr. oleksiy, please tell me why , why are we now talking about such a threat and in general, what

is the threat of losing the zenith for the entire defense of avdiyivka, that is, who might be here, why is there such attention to this moment, to the t0505 track, and to the track and to this position itself , i.e. is there a threat at all there, well, the environment of this position now, well the big account is very important. this route , because we all understand that it is a logistical route for the supply of everything necessary to our garrison, which maintains a defense there, this route is already under fire control of the enemy, well, we can see on the map, the distance there is short, it can be shelled with, well, with any weapon, artillery, mortar, even rifle, but at certain nights you can travel there without light, well, with great danger. something that, everything that is necessary for the garrison, that is, it is ammunition, and including water, food, medicine, taking out the wounded, so it is through this road

that our entire group there is fed, if the road is cut, it will remain, the vavdiivka group will have only what they have in the garrison, well, as they say, on for yourself, there, and that will be enough, well, for a few days, no more, further on, if you don’t constantly bring in everything that... then no, there won’t be anything to hold the defense, of course, there are small warehouses there, they are disguised, they mostly in kaksokhim, but this, well, a day or two, that’s 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 that there are large warehouses, no one does, because they can be vulnerable, and the barons of god , something will fly there, a detonation, we will also suffer from that , that... his own warehouse was blown up, so without this road it will be impossible to maintain defense there, who likes it there , who doesn’t like it, it will be necessary to withdraw the garrison, but there will be no other way out,

and it will also be quite problematic to withdraw it, if the russians will control this road, it will be necessary to withdraw fields, as they say, well, this is also extremely dangerous, and the russians can take advantage of this in order to withdraw from the army when they want to... well, cause maximum damage, so the situation is really extremely, extremely , extremely difficult, the russians, well, how they are doing assaults there, you just mentioned that, but yes, let's go a little deeper, what does that mean they are constantly resupplying these assault groups, constantly resupplying, it means that they have a certain reserve in that direction, and they are doing so called tactical rotations, ie some unit, group, well, it doesn't matter what it is. there they are called, uh, they do assault actions, attack actions, we repulse them, they return to themselves, there to themselves, there they

are supplemented, they are provided with appropriate help there, they are given the opportunity to rest, the next assault visions are already being done by a new group, the new group was ragged , a third new group is doing, 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, completely are prepared, and our defense is held by the same people, that is, the russians, and three or four groups, for example, during the day carried out some stormy actions, constantly new groups, in our country the same people do, well, they give a nod to these offensive actions , it is exhausting both physically and morally, and even the weapon is exhausted, because it must be periodically brought into order, well, it is easier to say, it is necessary to clean the weapon, if only for this, so that there is time. and as the battles there go on continuously, there is even sometimes not enough time for this, even the weapons squeak. well, when you talk about the route and the threat of having to withdraw the defenders from

certain positions, well, first of all, it is again about this position of the zenith, which is wedged like this in the south, it is enough to see it on the map now, but also, well for example, if you look, there are northern positions there. does this route also live them and that means that there will have to be a departure from there, or will it be some independent story from this one, well, we see there behind the railway, if we look there more east, the north, of avdiyivka itself, again, the same koksokhim, is it possible to hold positions on koksokhim, if this route is still somehow blocked there from the southern side. no, well, we took, we took the worse 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 not by fire but physically,

then this... well, constantly bring everything that we say, all that is necessary, all about what we just said, to maintain this garrison there and can even make small rotations, especially if someone is already extremely exhausted, then it is better to remove such a serviceman after all, 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 defense ideal? well, of course, it is worth it, because first of all, it is a convenient position, a tactically convenient position, i said, even wrote the same institute for the study of war, that the loss, for example, of this settlement of novdiivka, will not affect significantly, strategically will not affect the entire front line, tactically yes, it will be tactical the advantage of the russians, a tactical failure on our part, and nothing more, why does he want, why is there

a desire. to be located, why the enemy has been trying to knock us out of there for almost 10 years in different ways, with different numbers of people, because from this distance we can shell the city of donetsk with artillery systems, we did not do this, but we did not shoot at civilians, of course projects, but there is such a possibility, and that is why the russians cannot build some powerful military hub there, that is, some headquarters, or some warehouses, because they understand that they will be vulnerable our artillery, not only rockets. although it would be very necessary for the russians , it would be very, very useful, because in donetsk, well, there is electricity, gas and everything necessary, water, that is, all communications are present there, and well , you can, you can do something more - to do less seriously from a military point of view, they do not do it, because they understand that our intelligence will immediately know this, and it will be destroyed by our artillery, besides, if we talk about withdrawal, then it will be necessary to withdraw not on... there are

several kilometers, and maybe 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 away for a kilometer or two and take positions in the lowland, well, no one will do this, because it is very, very unsuccessful position from a military point of view, the following, well , relatively, well, not relatively, nor the prevailing heights, but simply the following heights, if you look at the map, they are somewhere 15-20 km away, that's why... well, the defenses will have to be held, fortifications will have to be made, certain that they are already done there exactly in that place, so it is not very pleasant either, because for the russians it will be, well, in their propaganda channels, well , there will be a lot of talk that how they pushed our troops to a long distance, they advanced almost 20 km there, they will necessarily count every square meter, tell how much territory they have liberated and so on, well, this is what they like to do,

although in fact it is with... any army would fight, because there is no point in being in the lowlands. why else do we need to keep avdiivka? because the enemy is throwing a lot of manpower there and techniques well, you have already said that they need to show some progress on the front line before the elections, or the so-called elections of president putin, on march 15-17. well, this is their deadline. well, most likely they will want to do it at the beginning of march, so that there are a few days or weeks. in order to disseminate this information through their media channels. this is the third deadline that they have already set for the widow in the last six months, because starting from october 10 they set the deadline until december 14, last year october 10, until 14 in december, 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

big losses there, and the task will be ... which army during the war, to destroy the enemy's army, and we manage to do it there, well, we see what losses in the period from october 10 of last year until today , they lost more manpower in the avdiiv direction than the soviet union lost in the entire afghan war, i.e. for 10 years of war e radya - the soviet union lost approximately 14,500 servicemen near avdiyivka , the russians have already lost 17,000 servicemen, that is, not comparable losses, crazy losses for the russians, but... if there is a political basis, of course, they will not stop and will continue to throw, stormz, storm b. from the north, from the south, they are attacking there, donetsk, the donetsk people's republic, their armed forces, well, the so-called donetsk people's republic, there is the spartak battalion, the roasted petuch battalion and so on, that is, these units are leading there hostilities, that is why

these people especially, have a great desire to destroy them. these are troops, so we will be there with...
