is said to be leaving the mission area already after the third or fourth day, having lost a very large number of aircraft, of course the pilots were shot at from a distance, mostly not striking targets, and this gave us a certain opportunity to clearly perform the task, and how it was possible to motivate people, well, it’s not a secret , that there are cases when people leave the position, was it possible to avoid this phenomenon? you know, it was possible to avoid this phenomenon, there was not a single case when people abandoned their positions, retreated, perhaps, in the first place, this is what the positions were occupied by people with combat experience, they had all been in the war for more than a year, they were all accustomed to shots, to shelling, to deaths, to injuries, and they had undergone quite good training. in addition, starting from february 16

to the 24th, the number of shellings increased dozens of times, that is, our positions were ironed out very powerfully, provoking the fact that we inflicted damage on residential objects and settlements on the line of contact in order to have an excuse for. .. full-scale, but our arterists destroyed it quite professionally targets, without shelling populated areas, not even taking into account the fact that sometimes the russians and our traitors set up cannons and fired at us directly from there between residential buildings, well, we understood that if we gave an excuse, it

would be an excuse for... that community in order to start a war against us. i have to ask about mariupol, the place where the breakthrough happened, can you tell me how it happened, what went wrong? managed to get out, because we received a blow from the west, after passing the isthmus, a powerful group came out in that our unit, we managed to regroup, but all the same, these forces were not able to stop such an armada that was coming at us. they cut off the main road and the group remained surrounded. we immediately began organizing activities to create a group to break through this corridor. i took out the 95 brigade, having regrouped and began to prepare it for the conduct. counterattack, but

we clearly saw three oak trees immediately, here the troops were constantly coming from the west, felling in order to create such a line, so that we couldn't do anything, and there really was the group that was in mariupol, it bound, probably... everything that was capable of fighting, going further, well, the mariupol group saved the south from completely cutting off ukraine from the black sea, we were not able to make the strike, because another group went, which is for the sides of the kharkiv region, again the enemy. regrouped,

concentrated, and through the raisin struck another blow in our back, and i was forced by this brigade to close this, the gap they found to strike our back, i will say, the brigade did a great job, the kharkiv group was swarmed, it was stopped , and fairly powerful damage was inflicted on... the enemy stopped after the loss and the positional defense began, but somewhere in the middle of march we moved to the position, stabilized the line, moved to the positional defense, and already there were no such large breakthroughs, it made it possible to carry out a grouping, draw up your troops and continue to hold this line, most importantly, it made it possible... the huge forces

of the enemy around the grouping, the eastern grouping of troops. was it possible, in your opinion, with the available forces and means that you had at your command. to save the city, that is, in that situation , in confrontation with those forces, it was impossible, because the advantage of the enemy was somewhere from seven to 10 times that of the enemy in the opposite direction, so for a breakthrough i needed three or four brigades, as at least to carry out a counterattack operation, i had one brigade and that was not a full one, which i removed from the front. given the blow from the north, i needed to save because if they completed their task, then again 10 brigades would be surrounded, i understand that things are not comparable, but if we compare when

it was more difficult then or now in your opinion, in the first days, the first weeks it was very difficult, because the first time it was impossible evaluate... everything that will happen, there was no understanding whether we would be able to withstand, still, there was a fear that a huge country, a huge army, whether we would be able to withstand, the first three days showed that we can not only expose, we can them and beat, the first milled divisions of the brigade, that we can stand, there was an idea of ​​confidence that we we can not only defend ourselves, but also attack , was carried out... the counterattack of the 95th brigade, we went to horlovka in the very first days, but since there was no strength and means to develop this offensive, i already gave the order to stop this work, because this the brigade was needed as a reserve.

one more clarification, you mentioned horlivka, i mentioned volnovakha, there is very little information about her, but i remember that she was repelled once, then squeezed out again, she passed over the course of a week. daily from hand to hand, it was simply razed to the ground, because valavakha was a key point from which we could carry out a counterattack in the direction of mariupol, and the enemy did everything to level it and pour out our troops, somewhere during the week or 10 days there was a battle called zavalavakha, crossing with chidna, from us to them and vice versa, but the advantage is still huge in... the whole means was able to give them the opportunity to keep the waves. and what battles, for what settlements, in those first days, which we often mention, they were decisive for maintaining the defense, let's say so. the first fight, it was a bridge of happiness,

when the bridge was replaced again, the enemy managed to overcome it, the battalion entered there and tanks, bmp, considering that i predicted that... the bridge could be drowned out by the enemy's derg so that it would not break, two powerful artillery divisions of large, large caliber were deployed , and these divisions simply crushed these two battalions that crossed over, after that they were knocked out and the bridge was already blown up, they then changed direction to three izbonka, here for two days... uh, very fierce fighting was going on, uh, it was destroyed on the first day here also two battalions of the enemy, but they moved like locusts, so to speak, that is why they had some success in this direction, but since the enemy went from here, from here, and this brigade

97 was completely surrounded, a decision was made and it was withdrawn, although the commander did not want the brigade very much. well, we left just before the corridor was closed, literally an hour or two remained there, when the enemy from the north was already closing the last road, having left in the direction of starobilsk, kamryh immediately organized a counterattack and went out again the novidar border, here during the week we had such dynamic actions, when we were advancing in... walking, the enemy was in shock, probably because he was lying down, they were lying down in packs, so i will say that we worked very actively here, the 15th battalion also worked actively, which stood in the direction of svatov's crime and not only

knocked out, attacked the protynniks, but also carried out appropriate active actions up to svatov, well, i say once again that there is a huge, huge advantage in the number of people. the forces of the means gave us, gave us one chance, to occupy such a continuous positional defense and hold her, that's what we did. and regarding the movement , as i understand it, from the side of svatov to the kharkiv region, or is it svatovo, they went to the flint, and the group that was in the kharkov region, it went through the raisin, we blew up all the bridges, did not give them the opportunity to cross, immediately to go to liman, and the only thing is, they made a crossing in the forest. across the askul river and tried to cross over it, and here were

the main battles for this crossing, first we, although it was not the area of ​​responsibility of aos, well, i was forced to transfer to the reserve, but the enemy bypassed the forces that were deployed along the northern outskirts of izyum and went through the forests, they were led by local foresters, and they... came into our cell, we had time to react and get to the edge of the askol river, and the northern part of the city was held for about a week, until it was completely leveled by airplanes by land, over the course of a week, the enemy simply leveled all our positions methodically, and here the majority of the defense was mobilized, who came from the east and took their place in the formation, they mentioned the missile attack on the russian airfield, and about... the district where he is from, well then it is even to the old line was carried out, the strike is being carried out from

somewhere close to this demarcation, yes, taking into account that the enemy was already here, we came as close as possible, and inflicted damage on the readdrome and the means of air attack that were there, it was more psychological, because it was impossible to inflict a large amount of damage with the power it has, but it had its effect in that the panic... was crazy, we saw from the means of development that the planes took off in a panic and flew all over russia, you said that approximately in the middle in march, the line was stabilized, and you were already , how to say correctly, transferred to kyiv, i was rescheduled in kyiv, but at that moment, at the time of your transfer, was there an understanding that russian troops could leave kyiv region, not only kyiv region, but in general the north of ukraine, just when i... arrived in kyiv, there was a very dangerous situation, the enemy

had captured a bridgehead in the maschun area, and there was a very great danger of going to the outskirts and breaking through them into the city. thanks to the powerful defense and stability of our troops, what we succeeded in doing to blow up the dam, and wash away all the crossings they had set up for the transfer of the main forces. across the irpin river, we managed to cut off the group that crossed the river, that was entrenched, destroyed it and further exhausted the forces and means they had on the other bank, which were like a skeleton for advancing on kyiv, it was difficult to understand that they have, that they will continue to act, somewhere closer to... the end of march, when we realized that fresh reinforcements were not coming to them, and a number of measures were taken to

in order to cut off the supply routes, the reserves tried to sharpen the supply routes, and with the start of this operation conducted by general syrskyi, the enemy began to flee to bonichno, because most of the units were behind this month of battles. washed so much that 30-40% remained. was it a surprise to you that they left? ugh, it was a surprise for us first of all, because we thought that they would still go to the end of the step, as they say from their side , there was no news, there was a panic flight towards our territory in my opinion, simply by analyzing the forces and means available to them at that moment, they had to choose. what to do, whether to finish the operation in the east, or to concentrate everything in kyiv, but

since they could not finish the exit, because this was the main goal that was declared, this is the liberation, as it is called, of the luhansk and donetsk regions, therefore all resources are thrown were there, and those units that were withdrawn from the kyiv region, after regrouping for staffing, also went there, and some... from the east went there, then it was more or less combat-capable, you had some kind of calculated understanding of how long you could hold the defense, given the available supplies, you know, we're basically in... understanding that a full-scale invasion is very likely, and with active hostilities, well, you could hold out for a few months, that 's basically how it turned out, somewhere in the month of may we started to run out of soviet-style ammunition that we had

in stock at that time, and that's why we hoped that help would come. will come very quickly, unfortunately it was not so, and many we lost the most trained guys who with their lives held the enemy in the face of insufficient ammunition, so are we, if we received ammunition in time, then those losses were much less, as now, when we again have a certain problem in ammunition, er ... for each the day we receive less aid is the day we lose our heroes, so the state leadership is doing everything to ensure that everything possible is done so that the troops receive ammunition. if you look at the armies that are in

europe, i do not think that they are capable of conducting such... actions against such an army, and everyone will hope for collective security in the nato system, that is why the provision of our country has become such a problem that there is no ammunition, there is no boss that we need needed, when millions of bayes are needed in order to deter the enemy, and even more so to conduct appropriate offensive actions, you have already mentioned that there is a need for ammunition. but that you communicate a lot with foreign representatives, what they say, or what they have understanding that support is needed for a long time and a large number of resources, at least in terms of communication, and are they ready to provide it? i will say this, we communicate both with the military and with civilians,

and the understanding of all partners is that ukraine needs to be helped. that the fate of the entire civilized world is being decided in ukraine and how the war in ukraine will end depends on the future, the future of life, europe, the future world order, that is why there is a vision that ukraine should be helped. the second issue of capacity, it's another thing, how capable, how much there is... the resources needed, that's being resolved, we 're working all over the world to find the resource that our military needs, to paraphrase, can you roughly say when it's going to be easier on the front lines, well , considering the lack of ammunition, unfortunately, i would like to receive such an answer myself, it is not

up to us, the war is moving into another phase. the phase where unmanned vehicles fight, yes, without a human, there will be no success, there will be no real action, without a soldier who does not will fulfill its task, will not enter the enemy's position, will not destroy those who are there, while the unmanned means can contribute to this means as much as possible, but the percentage of the destruction of the enemy is very high. in recent months, the percentage of destruction by unmanned means in general is about 70% intact, but again , ammunition remains, the biggest problem, in addition to air defense equipment and equipment, especially artillery, so there are a lot of requests,

given that we are creating new units, we should. constantly supplement those combat units, so there are a lot of requests. unfortunately, we cannot provide everything, it is not a possibility not only for our country, but also for our partners. and one clarification regarding the bill on mobilization, within the framework of the ministry of defense, the ministry must ensure and obviously the activation of mobilization, since it does not stop, will require more resources from the ministry of defense, are there... reserves, let's say, to provide for several hundred thousand people, this is equipment, equipment, weapons and so on, the ministry of defense is working on this issue, i think. no mobilized person will go to the combat zone, not equipped, not piloted, not provided, we

are very meticulous about this, especially for the sake of personnel training, a person who goes to war must gain experience, practice in order to be ready for action. regarding the issue of equipment and weapons, the question does not stand at all, so i think we will solve this issue. the second question is about technology, about large -caliber ammunition, these are the questions that we are studying, that we are working on, of course, thank you, that's all, thank you for the interview, thank you, tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the strong saw from rozpak tv is just for you. with it you can easily cut trees and bushes, it is so convenient to use it for carpentry work as well, it is an ideal tool for your home or garden, and the price is only from uah 1499, also

greetings, friends, at the berlinale , a ukrainian film called peaceful people was shown, and it caused quite a stir among the people who were currently recruiting, among foreigners, and among people who are watching this film festival from a distance here in ukraine. all because this film consists of intercepted conversations of the russian military, and well, we have heard them for a long time, and we no longer feel such a shock, imagine foreigners who are a little more delusional than us, even about the russian military, and here they are can be heard somewhere around such phrases: ah, we catch natsiks here with a shaft, in the morning we caught three natsiks, slapped them,

a mother went with... children, ours beat them in front of the children, and are you eating normally? asks, obviously having a military man in his son, he answers: that’s fine, the day before yesterday alabai was harassed, well and all that other stuff, here i don’t read, of course, a little more cruel comments with obscene language, but in general i think that friends, you all the intercepted conversations have been heard and you know them, and after all we will be talking today with the producer of this the movie with daria pasel, director oksana karpovich, unfortunately, she is a little busy today, but we will talk with daria, she will tell us about the reaction that was to this film at the berlinale, and now i will tell you about the less pleasant ones cases, so that you simply understand in contrast what is shown on different tv channels, on different platforms about the ukrainian war, for example, on february 19 , the british tv viewers of the tv1 channel

were shown a documentary called the other side, it is author-journalist sean langan, and he went three times to the positions of the russians, and once he went to avdiivka and there in the trenches he talked with the russian military, and only with them, that is, this tape presents the position of the russian military, and here it turned out... two reviews in the venerable times and the guardian, and i've read those texts and i've read quite a few people in our film community, and they're horrified because the poor reviews are positive enough because the writers are saying, listen, there's this journalist sean langon, and he went and showed us just the other side, as this tape is called, we just need to know two sides, well, you know, in journalism,

in general, according to journalistic standards, it's... that's how it's established, journalists should talk to two or three sides of the conflict, and well, we , starting at least in 2014, have very much revised this principle, because well , agree to interview there separatists and interview our military there and present it as two equal points of view, it is not very okay, and we have seen how it works russian propaganda and we have doc tapes. mental about russian propaganda, how it works , how their journalists lie, and propagandists who call themselves journalists, and we understand that it is impossible to put the opinion in one stream, for example, mstislav chernov, who shows the shelling of a maternity hospital in mariupol, and some there is news from a russian propaganda channel, where they say that no, it's the ukrainians, they themselves are shelling their maternity hospital, or they are not

shelling it at all, or there at all... azov is sitting, and that's why.
