12:09 pm
things for the wounded are felt according to their own recommendations, the main thing is that the defenders are comfortable, for example, in the adaptive pants, the pocket was lowered at the request of the soldiers. you have to put cigarettes somewhere, when crutches are under your arms, you don’t know where to stick your phone and some small trinkets somewhere, they are in pockets, and here they also ask us to make pockets every time, because personal personal things have to be put somewhere, no the pupils of the school also stand aside, help cut, sew on buttons, make simple seams. in the beginning, they explained, but now i think, there is no need to explain to them, they understand themselves, and even smaller children, fourth and fifth. class, they also willingly do all this. volunteers say that they will work until victory, after that, instead of adaptive clothes, they dream of sewing festive ones. from kropyvnytskyi for the espresso tv channel. ukraine commemorates the day of remembrance of those killed near

12:11 pm
greetings, this is the saturday political club and vitaly portnikov, kristina yatsky, greetings, friends, we will talk about the war in ukraine, we will remember what is happening in the united states and about the munich war. security conference about the conclusions from it, in addition, we will also mention the ukrainian-polish border, which should be completely blocked from the polish side as of february 20. in the second part of the program, as always, we will talk with vitaly portnikov about the most important topics for ukraine and the world, but we will start with the war. oleksandr kovalenko, military-political viewer of the information sproty group, we welcome you, mr. oleksandr. good evening, well, let's start, of course, with avdiivka. the withdrawal of ukrainian troops, the disposition, the consequences for the front , let's talk about
12:12 pm
it, the situation is really complicated, we watched how the withdrawal process is happening now, but - we look at it this way: the russians captured avdiivka, they spent more than four months of active offensive actions, this is first of all time, ah, they spent a large resource of forces and means, this is a human resource, today there are different versions of how many russian invaders were destroyed, there are 15,000, there are 20,000, so i think it's still going to be verified somehow, but it's a lot of human resource, on top of everything else, just on verified data from a variety of different sources. was recorded destroyed, the destruction from october 10 to the end of january, i
12:13 pm
am not even talking now about the flights, namely on the end of january, january, from 400 to 650 pieces of equipment, specifically from the russian side, from the side of the russian occupation era, this is about verified data, we know that verification is when there is a photo or video confirmation of a destroyed piece of equipment, in addition to this.. . there are other indicators, that is , things that are not verified, but they are available, that is, this is also a coefficient that allows us to talk about up to a thousand units of destroyed equipment just for the sake of audio, so it was a very difficult defense for us, but the result that allowed to deplete considerably the resources of the garrison, and he, he was forced to use even units from other groups of troops and other in... directions, for example, from the lymansky direction, from the bakhmutu area, these units were constantly
12:14 pm
moved there, and were actually shackled precisely in the avdiivka area. now we have left it, we have now left it and are on three lines of defense, which immediately begin behind avdiivka. in the near future , the following type of developments may occur: the russians will try to create... a security buffer for the city itself, that is, push back our units for approx. to push their forces away from the samoevka to such a distance that they can manage to be more or less safe, that is, it is about 3-5 km, and this is the creation of a safety buffer, and they can draw this safety buffer for themselves along the line of the swallow on... ve, even, let’s say, water, northern, swallow steppe, and they can
12:15 pm
cover along the line northern, thinka, orlivka, semenivka, berdichi, variations may be different, it all depends on what resource they are able to spend now in field conditions, because i note that when the russians entered into the city, they started taking losses about one to two, one to three, and... until they were ordered to speed up the process itself, then they had increased losses, uh, so speed things up a lot. offensive actions, but when they were in the field and did offensive actions in the field, even the russian soldiers themselves and the russian talking heads, they said that we cannot attack like this, we are losing one to 10, we will not be enough for so long, and that's why in the field for them the moment may come when
12:16 pm
they will first start by securing a position, and they will not... they will spend a lot of resources on creating a security tower, and they can switch to other directions, other directions it may not be an eye or some directions near the widow herself, she is not some through the entrance gate, well, for example there to pokrovsk or konstantinivsky and so on, no, they are on the contrary, they are reoriented to a completely different direction in general along the bridgeheads, that is, it can be kupyansk. can't be liman, it can be bakhmut district, the direction of chasiv yar, and kupyansk and chasiv yar, they are the main ones in their plans for offensive actions in the future, and they can also resume activity in the south, this can be the direction of the coal miner, where they have been accumulating resources for a long time, and this can be
12:17 pm
zaporizhzhia oblast district workers , mr. oleksandr, you said that... russians can face difficulties when it comes to the field, we can also face the same difficulties, because we understand that the strengthened positions, strengthened for years, the positions of avdiyivka, not you can compare with the situation when you are in an open space. on the other hand, what prevents the russians from continuing to use the tactics of throwing kabami, because it is the kabami that are now called, in principle, one of the russian forces in avda. those from the side of our enemy, i.e. the active operation of aviation, today we have excellent news about the elimination of three russian su fighters, but here we are still not talking about some parity in the sky, no, it is not parity, this news, really, it is from me alone on the one hand, it made me happy, and on the other hand, well
12:18 pm
, a little so, let's say, it became so sad, because two su-34x were destroyed. they are front-line front-line bombers, fighters and the main carriers of cabs and one su-35, and the su-35 he accompanied them as a guard, it is a security aircraft, a multi-purpose fighter, its main function is protection for front-line bombers, and in this case it is in this trio, let's call them that , but here it must be understood that against the background of this joyful news... from february 16 to 17 , 94 cab descents were carried out on avdiivka, only on avdiivka, this is a record number of used cabs, and a total of 16 on the 17th in february, an absolute record was set in the entire combat zone of the use of 151 drones
12:19 pm
, that is, today we do not have parity, we cannot do anything... to oppose russia in the airspace of the temporarily occupied territories, they have complete dominance, absolute dominance tactical aviation, in relation to the field, here is a different point, it is much more difficult for them in the field than in the city, that is the case, conducting combat operations in the city, it is accompanied by a decrease in losses, a significant decrease in losses, greater progress in advancement. why? because in the city you can grab onto every building. each building is a firing point, it is a cover, it is a shelter, that is, it is possible to advance along the streets, quarter by quarter, and so on. in the field is so impossible, the most vivid example,
12:20 pm
they have been trying to capture a small steppe village in the field for four months. and they are trying to capture a small village in the north, the exit from the river, to the north of the river , north, in the northwest direction from the north, it is thin, they cannot do it, they have not been able to for four months capture this village, why? because they have to advance across the field, there is nothing for them to cling to, they are either under artillery fire, or under fire from drones and so on, although now... one cannot talk about artillery at all, because, well, we are actually fighting now without artillery, but today i was motivated enough by the endowment about... the statement of peter pavlo rang out, rang out, saying that 500 thousand shells of 155 caliber and 300,122
12:21 pm
caliber were found somewhere, well, i guess where they found them, it was expected, but the question here is when they are will appear with us and whether or not you can share with us the information, where did they lie down, khrystyna and i discussed this all the time before the broadcast, where did general pavel find the shells? well, he did not find them in europe, i will say this, he found them among those countries that have long helped us with humanitarian, non-lethal weapons, that is where he found them, and we will have hope that these ammunitions will be sent to us very quickly, because we need them, we need them as much as possible, i would say even if we had a proportional distribution for artillery ammunition full, not their complete absence, well, let's say for a battery, when the battery has the ability to last an artillery battery to fire 20-30 shots per day - it
12:22 pm
's nothing, it's nothing at all, it can be said, we are fighting without artillery, and a lot depended on it, i will not say it like that, if the supply of artillery ammunition continued in proportion to the supply of artillery ammunition, then we would not be talking about the fact that... the defense of ukraine would be forced to leave avdiivka, avdiivka would continue to be defended and enough effective the russians wouldn't be doing their dances with tambourines right now, exactly, well, celebrating, conventionally speaking, i can't call this a victory, but the capture of avdiyivka. and tell me, mr. oleksandr, after all, avdiyivka is primarily a political decision for putin, isn't it? does this pave the way for further capture of settlements in donetsk region? and any settlement, any city, village, they open some more opportunities
12:23 pm
for further advancement and capture of new territories, but here the question is different: avdiivka doesn't matter, ah, like some kind of entrance gate in one direction or another that was allowed. and to seize much larger territories, no, it just closes, let's say, on our line of defense, and what they started on october 10 continues, the meat grinder in the field, in fact along the borders, this is not the same option as with the cities, agglomerations or something else, that's why it 's primarily political, it was a political whim, ah, and... they will now be propagandistic to use it to the maximum, i don't even rule out that instead of taking a rational step, taking an operational
12:24 pm
pause, and restoring the potential, holding so-called elections, so that something does not happen according to the plan, they can start another wave of offensive actions on this courage, for example, at times or in the area for... zaporizhzhia region in the area of ​​non-recruitment work in order to return control over the territories that we liberated in the summer of 2023, but that is the risk that everything may not go according to plan, and it's already starting to go wrong and yesterday they tried to conduct reconnaissance by fighting in the vervovoy area. this reconnaissance battle ended in the complete destruction of the column, and this is what we call unplanned, on october 10 they should have had the first wave of the attack on
12:25 pm
avdiyivka successful, and the first echelon should have left at the main points along the inter- steppe taberdichi tanotonenka. they didn't even do it, and it already didn't go according to plan, if putin gets it before the elections, and especially after. at the end of february before speaking before the federal assembly, well that to put it mildly, he will be a slap in the face. mr. oleksandr, finally, what's next, at least the options for the development of events, very briefly, well, we understand that war is a story where you can play in two ways, and even though the russians free themselves with the liberation of avdiivka certain resources to put pressure on others. direction, we are also liberating, and in fact, a large number, a large group of us were able to leave avdiivka, although today there was an alarming report that
12:26 pm
something went wrong in the last stages. something may not go according to plan, and part of our military ended up in prisoners, options, what's next? defense, total defense and maximum pressure on our partners so that we are provided with everything in this defense. now it is important for us to keep this kind of tactics, and it will continue for some time. i think that the first half of the year will be almost only defense. along all our main directions, where we are located, along the entire line of hostilities, along all the main plasdar with the exception, well, it does not exclude one, it is the left-bank kherson region, there may be some other tactical level actions, but mostly it will be self-defense, that is, this about what general syrsky says, who says that in fact the ukrainian army should now move to such a planned
12:27 pm

12:30 pm
allies? you know, to be honest, i paid more attention not to the speech of president zelensky, but to all the speeches of our partners, because in principle, what the president will say is obvious, and we support it, it is necessary to get more shells, more rap, more ppo, and actually, it is obvious that these signals have been sounded more than once... well, besides, i actually saw the press conference after the meeting with the vice president of the united states, kamalo hares, where president zelenskyi spoke about that we understand that in the usa there are internal issues, but nevertheless, we believe that there is no alternative and we count on the support of the united states, and here i would like to say what i just saw.
