with those cover, that is every day, an arms race fpdro, for example, and rep. time to remember all those who died in this russian-ukrainian war, traditionally at nine o'clock, we have a moment of silence. we will observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died. in the war that was unleashed by russia.

my greetings, this is the freedom of the mornings, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this stream we talk about such. topic. if the russian army cuts off the supply routes for the armed forces, the city will be surrounded and fall. there are days or at most weeks left - he writes julian röbken, a military columnist for the german edition of bild. but forbes notes that ukraine is strengthening the defense of avdiivka and there is every reason to believe that it has transferred one of the best brigades, the third separate assault brigade, to this direction. is this the decision of the new syrian head of state, what is needed to hold the city, we are talking with the military and an expert. the sbu is investigating. whether there was

any obstruction to the legal activities of the armed forces in the village of kosmacha, representatives of the tsc met with the community. residents of the village asked, among other things, why they did not mobilize deputies and displaced people, how does the village live after the attack on a woman with a child, are the police looking for the culprits? ukrainians are urged to become blood donors on an ongoing basis, because the country is constantly in need of blood and its components due to hostilities and attacks on peaceful cities, so says the transplant coordination center. let's talk about it and show. how people donate their blood in front-line kharkiv and rear lviv. join our release in the comments below this video, ask your questions, discuss important topics, and also don't forget to like and subscribe to radio svoboda channel. the american institute for the study of war currently does not see visual confirmation that russian forces allegedly crossed the railway in avdiivka, as some russian pro-war telegram channels claimed the day before. this is stated in the report. analysts for the last day. similarly

, there is currently no confirmation of the advance of russian forces deep into the city from the north and south to a distance of 300 and 450 m, respectively, which was also reported by anonymous russian telegram channels. meanwhile, the journalist of the german newspaper bild, julian röbki, states, that audio may fall in the coming days or even weeks. he makes such forecasts on the basis of open data, but according to him, the situation for ukrainian troops is becoming critical, the distance between. by russian troops in the north and south of the city is approximately 5 km. ryobky also talks about the significant advantage of the russian forces in avdiivka over the ukrainian ones. in particular, the ratio in artillery, according to his data , is 5/1. also, the russian army actively uses aviation and drops large high-explosive bombs from it. to repel these attacks on ukraine there is not enough air defense. at the same time, the ukrainian command is not going to leave avdiivka just like that. i will repeat the city. the fate of

bakhmut, so believes the german columnist. but the american forbes writes that ukraine is reinforcing forces in avdiivka, allegedly sending one of the best ukrainian brigades, the third assault brigade, there. the publication does not provide evidence of such information, but notes that recently the brigade was in reserve in the east, the critical situation in avdiivka could force the ukrainian command to involve a unit in this direction. the publication quotes the words of the commander taurian direction of the brigade. general oleksandr ternavskyi, who the other day really announced fresh forces in avdiivka. however , forbes notes, it is possible that this decision was not made by tarnavskyi. the other day, volodymyr zelenskyy changed the commander-in-chief of the army, and it is possible, forbes writes, that by promoting syrskyi, zelenskyi signaled his intention to fight for avdiivka. i noted that no official announcements were made about the transfer of the third assault unit to the avdiyiv direction, neither in the brigade itself, nor in...

the unit was formed by veterans of azov on february 24, 22 and is known, in particular, for its counterattacking battles for bahmud. forbes says that if this is true and the third assault. indeed in avdiivka, then counterattacks should soon be expected there as well. but what is the situation in the avdiiv region over the past day, we asked the spokesperson of this region, dmytro lykhovy, before the broadcast. as for the area of ​​the city of avdiivka itself, as of this morning, the defense forces of the tavria direction repelled 22 russian assaults in the areas of avdiivka itself and seven more attacks in the districts. some and nevelskyi in donetsk region, which are close to avdiyivka, and in general the situation remains stable, we call it tense but controlled, the enemy is intensifying assault actions, moving in the direction of the logistics artery to

cut it, but we are countering this and destroying it alive the strength and equipment of the enemy, we are destroying the order there... 400-500 personnel per day, the enemy is firing 800-900 artillery shells there in the entire tauri direction, of which the majority is the area of ​​responsibility of the defenders, in donetsk region avdiivka, and we destroy the enemy, we continue, at the same time, the situation on the line of combat remains dynamic, where... we see that the enemy prevails in personnel, prevails in ammunition in the use of artillery, and this, unfortunately, is a widespread phenomenon, there we apply a maneuver, we fight not only with iron, but also with our head, somewhere

we withdraw to other additional positions in order to be able to preserve the personnel and restore... restore the positions we occupied before, i will remind you that we are talking about the situation in avdiivka , as there is such data from a german viewer edition of the build by yulian ryobka, there is evidence that russian forces outnumber ukrainian ones in avdiivka, and that there is a possibility that russian forces could cut off the supply routes of the armed forces, and thus the city could fall within days or weeks. on the other hand, the forbes publication writes that probably, according to their data, they do not cite these data sources there, they are reinforcements, and the third assault brigade is, as it were, reinforcements in avdiivka, about what is known, that they can officially declare today, we will talk further, we

heard the spokesperson of the direction, we will continue talking with military, from this direction, this is ivan sekach, the head of the public relations service of the 110th separate mechanized brigade and... i am general bezruchka, i welcome you to our broadcast, thank you for joining, have a good, good day, and how can you describe the situation in avdiivka, around avdiivka, tell me how long your brigade has been fighting in this direction, we have been in this direction since march 2022, it has been two years, our brigade is standing in this direction, our defense started somewhere back then for 40 km, we kept line, it is somewhere from new york to the experienced, and over time, the muscovites accumulated strength to take the avdiyivka, and therefore our line decreased, now it is several times smaller, because reinforcements constantly arrived and we

were reinforced by other units, and what now it is happening around avdiivka, and in avdiivka there are ongoing battles for the city, and the orcs are trying to climb in and block it. to cut the supply line, although there are other options, that is , they are trying to complete the task of capturing the avvidka, that is, so briefly, that is, that is what the bild publication writes about the fact that, well, it is difficult the situation in this sense for the armed forces, you confirm this, and i will say this, we do not have sufficient capabilities to carry out the task of obtaining audio equipment for the time being. but reinforcements are coming and we are counting on friendly units. if we talk about the forces and means and the pace with which the russian troops are operating these days and weeks, does it look like they are increasing? well, they have a clear

task, that is, we all understand that in march there will be an election for putin, and they need to win, so they will use all available capabilities and all of their resources to accomplish this. regardless of the losses, according to the losses in these resources, they have an advantage in aviation in full, that is, we cannot influence air raids in any way. and bombing the city and our positions, they have a huge number of personnel, with whom he will count, and they are constantly experimenting in different groups, using armored vehicles, that is, they have a task, and they are trying to fulfill it as best they can, they recently climbed there along the sewer pipes, the sewer pipe that went there to the city, that is, fuck you, they tried too. to accomplish this task, well, it is typical for them, and they are looking for different ways to achieve this, and

if we are talking about you, who is fighting on the russian side in this direction, because from other directions there is information that there is a foreign legion involved , let's put it this way, is it clear here, relatively speaking, that they better threw their forces at the audio store, or how it happens, better forces, i don't know. how to call what can be the best orcs, they are equipped, look, they have there and most of them are such non-professional contractors and mobilized, and they are also foreigners from other countries, mercenaries , that's what we call them, and there are pakistanis and others, ah-ah, that is, such a motley, motley story here, that is, where necessary, they use really professional ones. .. and then they take en masse

, that is, throw in their mobilized or contract workers, well, most of the mobilized are people, that is, whom they do not feel sorry for, roughly speaking, whom we can destroy there, but they are not worried, because they have a lot of them there. ivan, forbes notes that ukraine seems to be strengthening the defense of avdiyivka and... there is every reason to believe, writes the publication, that ukraine has sent a third assault unit there in this direction, can you confirm, because you said that reinforcements were there, that for example the third assault unit do you know about something that has gone in this direction, and in general, what is happening with the strengthening of both brigades, and people, and, again , the means with which to fight, ah, for the first time in two years, almost two years defense actions by the 110th separate mechanized brigade, and some by ours the units were finally withdrawn from combat, fully

withdrawn from combat, for rest and rotation, and reinforcements were indeed passed, and i will not say what kind of unit it is, let the unit itself determine when it will announce it, but it is a powerful support for us as well a little more calmly, the ponds came, i thank you, ivan, for joining, ivan sekach, head of the public relations service. the 110th separate mechanized brigade, which fought for two years, almost two years , in avdiivka. thank you. weapons and security guarantees. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is preparing for a trip to his partners from the european union. this is reported by bloomberg with reference to unnamed sources. zelensky's visits to european capitals may take place within the scope of his participation in the munich security conference, which will take place on february 16-18. and according to the sources. publication , the ukrainian president may visit paris and berlin and probably london. he plans

to focus on issues of military aid, as well as signing agreements on so-called security guarantees. the new york newspaper the day before the times wrote that the reserves of ukrainian air defense would be enough for two months. military analyst yulian ryobki also wrote in the bild publication that kyiv is now in almost the worst situation. at the same time , defense express analysts report on ukraine's breakthrough in combating shakhet-type strike drones. to shoot them down, the armed forces now use vempaire installations. the video of the combat operation of these systems was published by the press service of the navy of ukraine. at the same time , russian forces are strengthening their defensive positions in donbas, according to an analytical report by american institute for the study of war with reference to data from the deepstate project. it is about the fact that the russian army installed a 30-kilometer barrier made of railway cars. the so-called tsar train consists of 2,100 wagons that ran along the railway between olenivka and volnovakha. and in 2024, ukraine will produce

thousands of long-range drones capable of long-range strikes against russia and already has up to 10 companies that manufacture drones that can fly to moscow and st. petersburg. this was stated by the minister of digital transformation of ukraine mykhailo fedorov in an interview with reuters. he says that this year, funding for the production of drones has increased almost 10 times. this year, well, it will be. thousands of drones, i can't say exactly how many, because this is already quite sensitive information, but i will say that there are no limits, the more funding there is, the more the market is ready to produce, that's it. that is, the funding in fact increases more than 10 times in this direction, but we will now fight to increase the funding even more. welcome to our broadcast, and denis popovych, military analyst, joined our broadcast. congratulations, denis, thank you for joining. good morning. let

's start with something global, we know from the media that zelensky is preparing for a visit to european countries, on the eve of new york. i wrote that ukrainian air defense stocks will last for two months, which is currently in short supply globally, can it be taken from partners? well , you can’t take it from anyone except your partners, there’s a lot missing there, there’s not enough ammunition of various calibers, starting from 155, these are the ammunition provided to us by our nato partners, and ending with soviet calibers, we have artillery, many artillery units operate on soviet calibers. well, in principle, there are none now, except for the russian federation, well, with the russian federation , it is clear that we will not take anything there, i am a little ironic there, but everyone understands that everyone understands the current situation, so only partners can now help us to quell this projectile the hunger that is now, and it is not only

artillery, there is ammunition of medium caliber, there are mines of 120 mm 82. and there are also tank ammunition, which we need, that is , well, in a broad sense, it is necessary to ask for help from our partners. regarding air defense systems and the conclusion of the new york times that there are not enough missiles, to be honest, i am skeptical about this, since it is not clear where exactly the new york times got this data, regarding the number of missiles, which is secret even for a measured time, that is, even in peacetime , there is sufficient information about how many missiles are left for anti-aircraft missile systems. well, it is in closed access is located, and plus there, parallel to this report in the new york times, there was a report in another american press that, with a reference no longer specific to a specific person, ee pete ryder, if i'm not mistaken, that the supply of missiles for the old continues concluded

contracts, contracts, despite the fact that now there is uncertainty with further help, the old contracts and missiles are carried out. are not attempted, therefore this is quite controversial information, the question of our broadcast concerns avdiyivka, is it really the armed forces of ukraine and possibly syrsky is throwing reinforcements there, and the billt says that avdiivka may fall in the coming days, maybe weeks at the most, the artillery advantage of the rf forces is 5/1, and they are close to cutting off the supplies of the armed forces, what, what can happen next, what are the chances for the armed forces to hold city ​​and what is needed for this? well, commander ternavskyi said a couple of days ago about reinforcements that fresh forces were introduced into battle, so it is not a secret, obviously fresh forces are being introduced into battle, i will not say which ones, well, all this is aimed at stopping the advance of the enemy already in urban development, they managed to go around, they managed to bypass the akhz, there was a key area of ​​defense, the avda koksokhim, and now

they really got close to this key, key highway, on which logistics are delivered. this is necessary for the functioning of the garrison, there is less than a kilometer left before the physical cutting of this line, and now the main task is to prevent this, how it will be done there, either by pretending to be reinforcements, or possibly by retreating from these dangerous positions, well then it's up to the command to decide, but the situation there, well, i won't say that it's critical, i won't rush into words there. but it is serious , it is more serious than it was , let’s say, a month ago, well, forbes writes more specifically, but they do not indicate what sources they have, that a third separate assault brigade was transferred to this direction, can this be true and could it be precisely the decision of the new head of the syrskyi that it is necessary to reinforce and keep avdiivka there, well, like

bakhmut, well, it could be the decision of the head of the silsky, it could also be the third separate steering wheel. fiction, but i also read this forbes information yesterday, followed by calls from the ukrainian military not to spread about these movements, as it may have certain threats to the lives and health of servicemen, so i join these bookmarks and do not name those parts who could be overturned, who could be overturned in this direction, tell me the answer to such a question from a military point of view, because in the comments, viewers usually write, or that you should hold... well, what if you hold until the end there is a city, it is a waste to waste your soldiers, which is an example of bakhmut, on the other hand, people have a question, will we surrender all the territories in this way gradually, and they will have to be returned, so... the military expediency of holding the city until the end? well, it obviously consists in destroying the occupiers as much as possible, i.e. inflicting maximum losses,

but there must be some kind of limit here, i.e. if it is not possible to get an audio player for subjective reasons, then obviously it will be necessary to make a decision in the novel, well, this is again after all, it is not our issue with you, but we are with you the size. "it will be necessary to make a decision to retreat in order to prevent the encirclement, so here, you know, such a thin thin line that runs, there it will be necessary to avoid this decision in advance, either to hold, or to retreat, if the situation really unfolds in this way, that the enemy will be close to the encirclement , well, but now, unfortunately, he is already close to the encirclement, so it is obvious that this moment of truth is approaching, denis, but we remember, you..." the conclusion of the former head of the commissar, general zaluzhny, that that he mistakenly believed that large losses could stop russia, but it is not so? well, it’s not like that, so far it’s not like that, you and i perfectly understand

that it is impossible to bear such losses and constantly advance, that is, somewhere there may be an operational pause, and there will be an opportunity to make some sort of response, well , depending on , to the extent that we will have these opportunities, given the fact that we... now have problems with ammunition, well, by and large, problems with people, it is not hidden, and we are talking about it now. denis, what do you need, what strength are there, means, what is the number of people in order to, well , turn this situation around, so that, well, this threat of losing evdiyivka, it disappeared there, is it impossible already under the existing conditions, if we also take into account the problems with the supply of weapons? well, here, you know, the question is difficult to answer, we don't know. specific situation, what exactly is there, how much, what is happening in the area, what is happening with the russian troops, what is happening with our troops, here the question lies to a greater

extent with our command. let's talk about the defense of the russian federation the russian army installed a 30-kilometer barrier of railway wagons, it became known that 2,100 wagons stretched along the railway between olenivka and volnovakha, why is this, how serious is it. there is an obstacle during the offensive, is the armed forces preparing for the offensive in this way, or is there some other goal of the russian forces? well, this is obviously a defensive structure , quite original, to be honest, i do not remember that such a thing was attempted, this indicates that the enemy, we have, is such that he can creatively approach various issues, so we could not , do not underestimate him, definitely this super train, yes , the length of this train is 30 km, yes. 2001 , it's meant to stop our offensive if it's there in that area, and they started building it last summer when that offensive was in the southern

areas, but then they obviously had er had some reservations about the fact that it can begin in this pain, where they built it. it is clear that any, any defense structure can be destroyed, it is clear that this train is not an absolute weapon. and it can also be destroyed if we we will advance there, but the fact that he is able to stop the advance and make it possible to win, to win time for the enemy in this direction, where they will consider it necessary, well, that's for sure, how much he can delay it, then the question will be when we we will be there. your colleague, a military expert, ivan kyrychevsky wrote on his facebook that, as far as he knows, this section is generally two-track and that there is one track at a time. such russian supply continues, and well, that is , echelons run there in the interests of the russian army, and that is, there may be such an option that this

tsar-train, as it has already been christened, is such a giant brazier as an element of physical protection in case of new strikes by ukrainian mlrs, well, there is another point of view, you see, including yes, for anyone it is a defensive, defensive, defensive purpose in a 30-kilometer zone, obviously it can now be used like this, although it is clear that its presence narrows the possibility of using this circle. denys, and so summing up, for a minute of time, are there already any noticeable changes on the front after head change or not yet? no, the situation there is developing now, as it developed before, you and i perfectly understand that there will be no major changes in those few days after the appointment of the head of the silsky, this is the first, the second, and the head... the syrian, he was in command of the ground forces , on which a significant burden of hostilities was placed, so he will now the situation will be determined

by the situation in which ukraine now finds itself. these are shortages of ammunition and problems with people, despite the tasks that are set oleksandruska, he will be forced to act on this situation. i thank you for participating, denis popovych, a military analyst, was a guest on our broadcast, we talked about avdiivka. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and later in this morning's broadcast we talk about the following topics: the sbu is investigating whether there was interference with the legal activities of the zsu in the village of kosmach, and representatives of the tsc met. there with the community. residents of the village, among other things, asked why they did not mobilize deputies and displaced persons, how the village lives after the attack on a woman and a child who were in the car, whether the police are looking for the culprits. ukrainians are urged to become blood donors on a permanent basis, because the country needs a lot of blood and its components due to hostilities and attacks on peaceful cities, the coordination center says. let's talk about it and show how people

donate their blood in... if you like and most importantly find our content useful, subscribe to the radio liberty channel, put it as a favorite, it is necessary for youtube to promote this video, and you do not miss important streams and video on radio svoboda channel. the security service of ukraine of the ivano-frankivsk region opened criminal proceedings in connection with the events in kosmachi, where last week a woman reported an attack on her car and a beating on her and her. daughters by local residents. the sbu is studying the fact of possible obstruction of the legal activities of the armed forces of ukraine, the agency says. the day before, representatives of the local territorial procurement center met with the residents of the village of kosmach after this incident. several dozen residents gathered at this meeting. they shouted at the representatives of the central committee questions like: why the deputies do not go to fight, or why the residents of the east of ukraine do not receive summonses. deputy head of the regional tsk

one of the drivers was injured, this is 24x. they accused of cooperation with representatives of territorial procurement centers, a skirmish took place and the woman received bodily injuries, her child also received bodily injuries, as of now 24-year-old ivanna hrypynyak is in the hospital, and the police quickly responded to this case and even last week a criminal proceeding was initiated, it was said that hooliganism had been committed. by a group of people, the reaction , in addition to this, it should be noted that the residents of kosmach also appealed to the law enforcement officers, they wrote a collective appeal in which they declared that the video published on the network would defame their honor and dignity, as well the law enforcement officers, as of now, have one statement from a resident of kosmach, who claims that the driver, i.e. ivanna hrypniak,
