books on paracetamol gift 10% in pharmacies plantain to you and savings. greetings, this is svoboda live, my name is vlasta lazur. term expires this spring. volodymyr zelenskyi, what this means and what risks it poses, how and how often ukraine shoots down russian planes and how the front line changes after the withdrawal of the ukrainian armed forces from avdiyivka. these are the main topics of the issue. let's start. russian troops are trying to use the tactical opportunities that have opened up as a result of the capture of avdiivka, maintaining a relatively high pace of offensive operations. about this it is in the present tense. according to the american

institute for the study of war, russian troops are trying to advance as far as possible in the avdiyivka region, before ukrainian forces create more impenetrable defense lines there, the report notes. after the capture of avdiivka, the russian troops partially reduced their pace, but later resumed it to the west and northwest of avdiivka. analysts assume that, probably, in the near future, russian troops will be able to capture a number of settlements in this direction, but the topography of the area and water objects to the west of avdiyivka will most likely lead to a slowdown of the russian offensive, the peculiarities of the area will probably also allow the forces of russia to occupy, more precisely, the forces of ukraine, to occupy more prepared defensive positions, which will lead to the culmination of the russian offensive in the area of ​​avdiyivka, state the experts of the institute of war studies. well, now the ministry of defense of russia has announced that russian troops have taken control of the steppe village near avdiivka. the ukrainian group tavria reported the day before that the armed forces of ukraine. they went from two villages under

avdiivka, steppe and northern. the ukrainian autumn deep state project reported today that over the last day, russian troops have advanced north, south of stepovoy in the avdiyiv direction and south of krasnohorivka in the mariinsky direction. what the front line looks like in the east, you can now see on this map. well, the fact that the ukrainian military retreated near avdiyivka to the area where they are defensive, where the topography of the area will contribute to the defense, was later also confirmed by the operational-tactical spokesman. grouping of troops of the armed forces of ukraine tavriy dmytro lykhova. joining our broadcast is ivan sekach, head of the public relations service of the 130th separate mechanized brigade. good evening. good evening. how would you describe what is currently happening around avdiivka. we see, literally every day, reports that russian troops are capturing and occupying some new village. well, you said there that... our troops retreated, this is not

true, our troops can now retreat to better such prepared positions, that is, the maneuvering of troops is now underway, because the onslaught continues, but more comment, let those people who are currently there from us comment , you mean just for the audience, i will explain that the 110th brigade has now gone to rest, replenish supplies, restore strength after spending almost, well, actually two years on avdiivskyi direction. yes, i want to note that the 10th brigade of the ombr has retained its combat capability, and at the moment we are simply recruiting, opening a recruiting program , recruiting new people, those people who left for the ppdd will go on leave, and other people will be worked with psychologists from of the ministry of defense, equipment will also be restored, we will be replenished

with new, more modern equipment, and we will gather the basis of strength, when we are needed, we will again take up arms. ivan , at the beginning, i also quoted the institute for the study of war, analysts write to the institute that currently russian troops are trying to advance as far as possible in the avdiyivka area, even before ukrainian troops create more or less powerful and impenetrable defense lines there, in view of this , how so? can advance far in the avdiiv direction russian troops? well, many factors depend here, i think that they will not be able to, because the lines for when at the time when we were there, they were already preparing, some of them were prepared, and i think that the local, well , the commanders on the spot are orienting themselves and they they will tell you better, because i say, some of our units will continue to take part in hostilities, but i will not say. directions, i can't

tell you which units, but on the spot it's better to ask the commanders who are in command there now, but you just said that when you were there, then these lines of defense were being prepared. you know, this is a little different from what we usually hear on the air, not all of us, but a lot of military personnel who are in the east and military observers, talk about, complain about the absence or very weak line of defense around avdiyivka, and you i hear that from your words, you don't confirm it, i'm not a specialist in military engineering of the engineer troops, but i say what i see, i see that the lines were being prepared. pits and trenches were built, defense and engineering lines were burning the equipment constantly worked in the direction of our novzovsky. but if there were defense lines, then why is the russian army capturing village after village now, or are the defense lines much further from these settlements, north, stpv,

that we just showed on the map? look, i'm the head of the public relations service of the 110th cryomechanized brigade, i'm not the head of the avdia division. i can't tell you, you can just share your opinion, share your opinion that there are professional commanders and they know what they are doing, there is a good the change has come to us, okay, then let's talk about what happened in the avdiivka direction while the 110th brigade was there, please tell me how many of your fighters were captured in avdiivka, because it was the most important topic after it became known that the su left avdiyivka, the western press... generally wrote about almost a thousand soldiers who were captured there, the ukrainian side denied this, what specifically can you say about the 110th brigade? specifically, i can say that there was a controlled exit from the city of avdiivka under the team, and i read this new york times article,

i asked the new york times for sure, i didn't confuse it, a lot absolutely, absolutely, i asked the fixers what kind of article it was, they said it was some kind of margin. wednesday journalists, who sometimes throw out such articles, there were already such ones behind him, and so i , well, you see, if there were many prisoners there, which are thousands, they tell there, it would definitely be in the orcs' public, you understand, there is nothing there, what i studied, what i saw is not true, for example, even you say that it is not true, and these stories that the military left behind ... i understand that getting out of there fell on the shoulders of each individual soldier there, who ran better, who was able to escape, he escaped, who did not escape, he did not escape, that's how many well, that is, the media is fully aware of six such soldiers who remained there, maybe

there were more of them, we officially published our position on our facebook page, and it was clearly explained how what... was happening, look, this is a war, that is, we are not we are playing salochi there, someone is going out there, don't go out, that's it hostilities, the enemy took this opportunity and bypassed us through the pipe, you know, did you read, that is, this is not an expected move, evacuation vehicles were going to go there, but how quickly the situation developed, that the vehicles would not have simply reached there, you understand , and therefore a decision was made to leave. those who could leave, leave, and the wounded negotiated through special state authorities, not the authorities, the representative authorities negotiated to save the lives of the boys, but you see, i am not i was planning to mention this pipe,

it seems that in january there was a report that the russian troops had found some sort of sewage pipe there and were able to get through it to the rear of the ukrainian military, do you know? in this context , it should probably be reminded that avdiyivka has been such an occupied district since 2014, and here is the main question about this pipe, which one i had to hear, how did it happen that the ukrainian side either did not know about this pipe, or did not they did not warn about the possible advance of the russians there troops on time, well, i can't tell you how it is unknown, but... i can't tell you this story, how it happened, but you must agree, this is a question to which society has not received an answer, and the military also leaves in the same way, you say, you don’t know, well , we have a lot of moments and questions for which we still won’t get answers, you know that there are situations that

will only become clear with time, ugh, here is the last question, today we mentioned these steppe villages, around which the northern ones take place battles, some of them were captured when you... were leaving, i understand that the road ran partly through these villages, what condition were they in, do they look like villages at all, because the russian military now and the russian ministry of defense, for example, there posts a video with a flipper. well, it looks like there are the very ruins that you saw when you left, well, i didn't leave, but at the moment i visited those villages and when i, when i was still in those villages, they were already unsuitable for life, that is, they had to be restored, but look, the russians are now using their advantages as best they can, which is the artillery, which has a lot of shells, and a lot of shells, they just shoot non-stop. that is, artillery fire has been going on here for several weeks without stopping, while they often

used air bombs a lot, this is a very destructive force, and they also flew to these forces , that is, they are leading a rotten shaft, they are being destroyed, that is, where is our boiling area, and then they send a few such unfortunate bastards there, they wander there, they are shot, yes, there in house, she just sits there, and they will not spare an aerial bomb on that house, you understand? or everything else, and they simply demolish, this is a horde that demolishes everything, well, it was also clear from previous operations, in the kyiv region, when they are in kharkiv, they do not have weapons that could solve the issue of their victory, in they have such moments, they use it to destroy everything in their path, thank you very much for joining our broadcast, ivan sekach, head of the 110th public relations service. mechanized brigade. thank you very much. kyiv is unlikely to be able

to launch a new counteroffensive by the end of the summer, according to the commander of the armed forces of great britain, admiral anthony radakin. ukraine will experience a lack of ammunition and lag behind in the war with russia for several months, until the west and the west agree on further steps to support kyiv, radekin said at a conference on defense issues at the british royal institute between. relations chathamhouse radakin did not directly comment on the statement of the french president about the possibility of deploying western military in ukraine, but emphasized the urgent need to increase aid to kyiv. the commander also said that ukraine is already facing a difficult situation on land, where its army is experiencing difficulties with ammunition and supplies, as us military aid is blocked by republicans in congress, and europe is not yet able to fill the gap, well... tim at times, the american magazine forbes explains why the number

of russian planes shooting down the armed forces of ukraine at the front has increased dramatically recently. according to the publication, the russian army began to use combat aviation more boldly, and the ukrainian military responds to this with the active use of anti-aircraft weapons. because of this, the armed forces may soon run out of missiles for western systems, the publication said. in the last two weeks, let me remind you, the armed forces of ukraine announced that they shot down 10 russian planes, including a court. 35, su-34, also precious a50. in russia, these data were not officially confirmed. well, forbes writes that russia is capable of producing several dozen planes a year. and this means that moscow is losing its battle aviation 20 times faster than it is able to renew it. well , ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general, deputy chief of the general staff, 2006-10, joins our broadcast. good evening. good evening to you too. so, let's start with the statements. the armed forces said that in 10 days they shot down 10 russian military planes, among them su-34, 35,

and a50, and forbes writes that ukraine uses anti-aircraft missiles to shoot them down, and because of this, they may run out. first, does it sound plausible to you, and what the zsu was able to shoot down 10 days, 10 planes, and the fact that ukraine can use air defense systems for this and so actively that the missiles may soon run out. well, what is not confirmed, the fact that 10 were shot down is this kind of, if provocative question, i believe in the data provided by the general staff, in this case it is so accurate and the air force command shot down 10 planes, one helicopter is very important, this for february, relatively everything that can be shot down, and at such heights with the means of the zenith... no, they are used to the fact that we, as far as

we can, use the very foreign anti-aircraft missile systems, but we do not say that we still have s-300, soviet and other systems, but basically even s300 is at a range of 75 km, but what about foreign ones, which have the same and against . up to 150, but the question is still that the efforts over the great efforts, most likely according to the data, again foreign. restored the s200 complex , of which i have been a representative since the last century . with the same data from the sources, our

representatives, the military science structures of the relevant specialized, tried to do this... the complex to use missiles in the ground-to-ground mode, so only the soviet ones were not controlled yet , the missiles were not controlled, they flew for 600 km, i in at that time i visited such training grounds, where such things happened, but now you see this s200 complex here, so in addition to that, but the question is really foreign about missiles, this is a big question, the patriots can release it. the united states also does it under license japan, and they are lacking, both complexes and all missiles. if the s-200 was really restored, then this was unexpected at such a distance with such capabilities, and then , when it is our weapon, we do not ask anyone how it should be used, and

it does it effectively, let's see this complex, by the way, these shootings were carried out... at the base of the kyiv 96th anti-aircraft missile brigade, whose soldiers still perform their tasks very efficiently and qualitatively, and defend not only our capital, but important military and state facilities around. unfortunately, in his own at a time when there were six divisions left, the supporters fought to leave, but the officials... very great specialists who had not served a year or a day in the armed forces, under which these complexes were allowed, although you can see how they can be used, this applies not only to anti-aircraft missile systems, but to a lot of other things, so in totality and summarizing, we are now using any opportunities, if there

is a stick left somewhere, or a can of cucumbers, as they wrote, which can be knocked down... something flies, so you have to apply it too, and it's a whole anti-aircraft missile complex and the effectiveness of such an approach we can see in february, and here are the fears or maybe even the warnings described by forbes, that with such intensity ukraine can very quickly use missiles for air defense, i am asking here whether do you see any risks that it is simply possible in this way... ukrainian air defense is being tested and even then the civilian population will remain unprotected there? well, do you really hear yourself, you say that they launch planes so that we waste missiles, and this is a loss not only of weapons, but of very valuable pilot training. lotchik fighters in the world, i say, including in your

channel, if he is a fighter and has to determine. as a sniper pilot is worth so much to be poured out of gold, you feel the price of this pilot, the question is not even in the plane, but precisely in the pilot, and how long it takes to prepare for such a level, that is, it is the third class, the second, the first master, and then the pilot is also a sniper, that's why they don't do such tests, they are simply forced, they used guided bombs quite effectively and got used to it. and war is primarily a struggle mind, its implementation, unexpected actions, if they were used to what was created by these cabals and it was very difficult for our defenders, then such an unexpected application at such distances for them became, well, catastrophic for this time and for this period, this does not mean

which means everything is decided, no, it means that the struggle will continue, and we have to... constantly look for ways to continue, unexpected, symmetrical continuations of this struggle, but according to this logic, if indeed ukrainian forces have already shot down 10 planes, probably it would be worth at least for a while to stop flying so close to ukrainian territory, for example, today cabs were dropped again somewhere over kupyansk, that is, i am talking about the fact that in reality such aviation losses do not stop russia, that means these pilots and these planes. .. are they so valuable to them , or are they, they follow not the best traditions from soviet times and marshal of victory zhukov sent, who said... don’t feel sorry for the soldiers, russian women give birth, maybe they have such abilities in these women or in russia , but they do not particularly value their no soldiers on the ground, not only soldiers in

the air, so the main thing here is that the tasks are carried out, and again, as it is not related to this, thanks to the great losses in armaments, in equipment in manpower, they are moving forward, for us except everything else that is being shown... these losses must make it clear that they are moving forward, we need not only weapons and equipment to stop this, but trained soldiers, that is, a quality mobilization, which has not been happening since last year, and we see the consequences of this and today, unfortunately, the law still hasn't been adopted, i'll put it this way, there are more than 400 amendments, the avdiiv direction, we started with it today. we see, we read in the news every day that russian forces are occupying one or two villages there, nevertheless, how do you see the situation there? the situation is quite complex,

difficult, because the enemy, having an advantage, armed equipment, manpower, used approaches related to the fact that not only capture avdiivka, but continue to move forward, and because of the worthy frontiers. defenses were built, as it turned out, there were none, then they advance further, in addition, the area west of avdiivka is lower, avdiivka itself and the enemy uses it, it is like in the kherson direction, our right bank is over the left, and we definitely use artillery effectively in the event that ammunition does appear. therefore, it is quite difficult to advance, but despite this, a line has been formed there, it may

not be as deep as we would like defensively, but it is there, and it should stop such an advance, as far as our defenders succeed will be seen in the coming days, and you just said that in the defensive lines? as it turned out, it was not, and for you it came as a surprise? well, i note that there were open sources, information submission, we remember that there was a rate where the president, as the supreme commander-in-chief , set the task of building these lines along the entire front line, but we also remember the experience, the experience the enemy should be studied last year in the zaporozhye direction of berdyansky. polish in the zaporizhzhia region, what a strong defense they built, and why do we have, if it was clear that the resource, but they everyone is building, companies, all this is being done, but in our country

everything is still primarily allocated to the military, this is not true, we will remember the experience of the second world war, how it happened, that is, in the soviet union, we must involve everything and everyone in order to in order to help, one must clearly imagine that... that the situation is quite complicated, difficult, the enemy is advancing and it is necessary to use any means to stop him, including, it is very effective, let's see, to build lines, and instead of last year, they talked about dragons, teeth, dragons, these buildings, and so on, all this stopped the advance, we could not go further forward except for the first line, and all this... we are doing this now, but with a delay, that is , we have to learn in war all the time, only in this case we can win. and i have

one last question, the day before we all discussed emmanuel macron's statement regarding the prospect of sending nato troops or troops of european union countries to ukraine. today, volodymyr zelenskyy said that he does not know anything about what macron meant, but maybe he will come to ukraine and share his own vision of how to strengthen ukraine, and my question is, do you see even the slightest sign that soon any countries will be ready to send their troops to ukraine, if so, under what circumstances it might happen? answer, then i see, if there is no bachika there, as a specialist i have the right to three higher educations, 40 years in the army there and then security, so let's see, already in the kherson direction, special units have appeared in the enemy's skins. military, they attract everything and everywhere in their country from abroad, what are we? we will discuss how it means, should or should we not, we should use

any. the americans provided the chinese with opportunities to strengthen this during the second world war, let me remind you, not only planes , they provided, well, they sold something, they provided something, and they also supplied volunteer pilots, american pilots talked about this, and the speeches, and approaches, and ukraine is ethnic, and in australia, in others, which was decided by the american for this, you heard from the last one that the planes were placed and the volunteers were allowed. there is no such thing, so macron made such a message, and we need to support all this, sooner or later it can come back, the question is not to be too late, we need to use, and this is more decisive action, both from our allies and from us, use anything to in order to first stop the advance of the enemy, and then to recruit resources accordingly, and to carry out the dioccupation operations that were discussed. languages ​​both

at the end of the past and now, but they must have a foundation, i.e. a resource, which must be dealt with very densely and efficiently by everyone in our country. thank you very much for your comment, ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 2006 to 2010, was on radio liberty. thank you. the president's office prepared the text of the appeal to the constitutional court regarding legitimacy. of volodymyr zelenskyi's tenure as president of ukraine , given that his term of office expires this spring. this is written by the publication dzerkalo tizhny. however, according to journalists, the president's office still has not decided what to do with this appeal. vop are allegedly afraid of not getting the right decision. according to according to the constitution, another presidential election should be held on march 31, 2024. on may 20 of the 24th year

, the five-year term defined by the constitution expires. since the inauguration of volodymyr zelenskyi, according to the weekly mirror, the president's office is currently actively working on solving the issue of how to get out of the situation that will develop after may 20. one of the options considered by the bank is an appeal to the constitutional court, so that the provisions of the constitution will be interpreted there. in particular, does the constitution allow holding presidential elections in conditions of martial law, and whether the president has legitimacy after the end of the five-year term of office, that is... after may 20. according to the plan of the ope leadership, as stated by the weekly mirror with reference to its sources, if a decision is made to appeal to the constitutional court, it will be done by people's deputies on behalf of the people's servant. with a request, whether the information of the mirror of the week is correct. rfe/rl has contacted the president's office, we are awaiting a response. well, as the mirror of the week writes, as of today, the final decision on the matter has been made the expediency of the constitutional submission has not been approved, according to the publication, there are many. who

in the president's team thinks it is too late to go to court, but there is another reason, and it dominates. the main restraining factor is that ops are not confident that they will receive a quick, and most importantly, the decision they need from the ksu. 10 votes are required for the adoption of a decision by the constitutional court, and today the constitutional court has 13 judges out of 18, which according to the constitution should be part of the constitutional court, and the majority of them is seven. was appointed or personally by the president poroshenko - four, or during his term of office the parliament or the congress of judges - three, that is , a purely political component of the probable decision cannot be excluded. in a recent fox news interview, volodymyr zelensky himself said that if the presidential elections were held now, he is sure that he would win. in principle, sociology really shows quite high trust in the president, and the second thing that zelensky said is that the postponement of elections during the war

is legal. you canceled the presidential election, canceled, no, no, canceled the election because of an emergency, because of a war, so they say, how will you react to it? first of all, no one has canceled any elections, the law says that you can't hold elections during a war and that's all, it's martial law, it's not me, it's not my new law, it's the law of ukraine that was in place from the very beginning, so no one did not cancel it. fedir venislavskyi, people's deputy from the servant of the people, joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and in the past, let me remind you, you were also the president's representative in the constitutional judge tell me, please, do the president's team see any risks regarding the legitimacy of zelensky's tenure after may 20, is this a subject of discussion, for example, in the service of the people?
