the premium sponsor of the national team represents. united by football, stronger together. the commander of the bpak unit as part of the third separate assault brigade is the avdiiv direction. glorious third assault, vadim mazevich. and we are in touch, mr. vadim, glory to ukraine. welcome to ours. the hero of the word, mr. vadim, we want to start with good news, brag, please, we have already seen the video that we want to show to our tv viewers, the attack on the command post of the occupiers near avdiyivka, they were so happy that they occupied the city, but they are not exactly happy there, tell us about your work, because we we show, but the details are important here, look at the details, all the details. i will not tell you, i will tell

you only one thing that this has been followed for quite a long time, and in the operational, let's say, in the advanced time, a decision was made and a blow was struck, we will not tell all the secrets, we hope that we will repeatedly let's repeat and show it, no, i'm not talking about your secrets, i just when i was watching it, i saw that at first something small went wrong, that is , i understood that you first if you made a marker, and then on... a blow, so in two stages, approximately yes, yes, approximately yes, this, was the teamwork of different groups or, specifically yours, no, this, the work of the headquarters of the brigade, uh, this is work, a huge work about the done by various, uh, types of intelligence, and i would like to say that this is a general work that... fought

for several days and as a result you see now on the screen. we thank you and are proud of such work. by the way, this very section opposite avdiyivka is the most important for rusna, they do not hide it, they hope to push through the defense line until the armed forces have dug in, made several level fortifications, and prevented them from digging in as soon as possible. this is their logic. and how do they manage it? well, look, every day there is work on using, making maximum use of the equipment we have, the resources we have, in order to provide the highest quality and fastest equipment possible positions, but you will understand correctly that we are on the front line and it makes it quite difficult because we are constantly under fire. i'm not talking about the fire that

is conducted along the logistical routes, about finding the enemy, new ways of conducting intelligence, deeper lines, and this makes it very, very difficult, but you understand that the work is being done, and the work is being done on nerves of steel and the incredible resilience of the infantry and support services. mr. vadim, we understand that you will have a little now, maybe a little is better. easier, more effective to hold the defense of the positions in this place where you have already worked, but at the same time the intelligence of britain says that the russians are beginning to relax, after their terrible losses, are re-establishing their forces, drawing up reserves and returning to their previous strength there, is it really like this on the ground, see for example, in the last couple of days we have seen

the use of armored vehicles, and in the formations and even up to the level of the mouths, and this indicates that they are using their reserves and using armored vehicles with a purpose. about the fish, but that's it for now and it's not very successful, since we 're here at the moment, uh, we're holding the defense in the positions that we prepared a little earlier, uh, it's very difficult, uh, because despite the fact that they gave us, uh, it's not bad enough the amount of ammunition for artillery, it is very much needed, the ratio in some cases... er, for every shot of their artillery, there is , well, for every four or five shots of their artillery, there is only one of ours, so we still want to say, that we are working efficiently, but we want more ammunition, well, but before it was even worse, it would have been 1 to

10 and even smaller proportions, one to four, you know, i'm looking carefully at the map now, i remember the kyiv operation. the irpin river is small, half of the fishermen say, but who would go to such a river? but she stopped the moscow column of equipment, god forbid, then in the 22nd year, now i see that actually behind our defenders and yours, there are two water obstacles, the wolf river, and a little further south, a water river, how far are these water obstacles are obstacles for the russian occupier? thank you for the question, look , i can't comment fully on this at the moment, because it can also apply to the lines of our defense and the projected lines of our defense, so i don't want to help the enemy, but i will say that, for example, if we

go back to of the kyiv company, the main , main factor, regardless of the non-explosive engineering barriers, still the main factor of the kyiv company is... there were armed forces, and our infantry, and our artillery, that's why, but the river helped then , just like that, seversky donetsk, this in general, there was such a watery grave, we watched these shootings on the shore, how the equipment was burning and we were proud of the small river seversky donets in this city, mr. vadim, how does the sky look now over avdiivka in the vicinity of avdiivka, many of them are flying there with coffees, what is the situation and how it was before... february 17, have you calmed down a bit? eh, look, we can divide it into two, two parts: the first is their tactical aviation, meaning planes and dropping cabs, the second is the difficult situation with their

reconnaissance and strike drones, that is, with the use of their drones, such as ftv, copter-type drones, and also began to be used in singles, but ... eh bloody types of drones, that is, lancet eagles also went into business, yes and yes, but do they risk flying to the zero line in principle , as they say, at least by helicopters, don't they risk it? er, there were isolated cases, but now we are not observing exactly in the area of ​​responsibility of our strip of responsibility, there are attempts in places, but they do not work, well, you understand correctly. they, we do not work and do not say that's right, we're not fighting against, you fools, we're fighting against the regular army, they use operational distance to strike, looking there, even now, as it's going now , it looks like zero, it's me from berdychi and to

pervomaisky through the settlements of horlivka thin, but here everything that is behind you is also populated areas, one passes into the other, it is actually some kind of building. these are novo-pokrovsky, novoselivka the first, umansky, yasnobrodivka, these are all such villages, they are destroyed, there are people there, there are not, there you can drive through, you can't drive through. look, well, this will also apply to logistical ways, so i will not comment on this question in full, but you should understand that they are erasing from the earth, all these are not human feelings towards buildings for... their property and the like. yes, people remain there, i will tell you more that the driver also has these people left, civilians, but the fact that they are nothing all around is clear, it is more like already on here, who remembers the first shots from buchi

, zerpenya, oh it's more like, uh, that is are just grinding with squares, yes, yes, are the volunteers with some humanitarian aid not... more necessary by water to reach the front-line zone and to you now, uh, we have a good supply in the brigade and... volunteer aid is used exclusively there at some stages in volunteers travel around the front-line zone and help civilians, but again, not in the front-line zone itself, meaning almost zero or before that, where there is fire impression from the enemy’s artillery with kabama and the like , well, in the summer, who visits and it is not desirable, that’s why what well, you understand how dangerous it is, mr. vadim. was born of their so-called warfighters, where they said that

our guys had caught up and that they were firing as if from hunting rifles in a semi-drone, they don’t trust these anti-drone rifles as much as they do the actually analog hunting rifles, but it looked like a single video, so i want to ask you, that is, how do they fight against our fpv drones, do they have enough reps, try to grind them down, plant them. or more somehow differently, and how much is the efficiency factor from fpv drones, let's say , hundreds of them fly to the target of the russian fascist occupier , how many, quantitative and qualitative indicators, they stay at the same level, not a little better in the last three weeks, but in some cases in some units and in some calculations it is significantly better, in some cases up to twice the effectiveness of the approach, but the number of drones that are used, er

, i would also like to note that it has also changed, we have not started to use much more, er, it is the boards, as for their countermeasures, they have very a lot, a lot diversity in terms of rebo, both mining and large means that stand on... remote, including those that act not only on control bodies, but also on navigation, on video communication , and so on. ugh. mr. vadim, for literally half a minute, at some meetings of the front, they were bragging that the number of shells had increased a little, how about you? well, they said one to four, in some cases one to four, in some cases one to six. i explain that we cannot fully count them, these are only approximate numbers. but it got a little better, we need them long-range, we need long-range missiles,

long-range systems, they promise, they promise from berlin that they will also organize something, thank you for the conversation, vadym mazevich, unit commander, bpak as part of the third separate assault brigade, the avdiiv direction is difficult, they said, now we are leaving for a short break, for a few minutes we will come back and talk about borders. there are discounts on pectolovan ivy, 10% in pharmacies for travelers and savings. laughter, physical activity, sneezing. even during such a small load, urinary incontinence can occur make yourself known. feminost uro helped me. thanks to the natural components of feminost uro, it helps to restore control over urination both during the day and at night. feminonost uro - urination under control. 10% in the pharmacies of psylshynyk, ban and ochad, there are discounts on

we return and remind you about our collection for three cars, we now have to collect uah 900 for various units, for scouts, for gunners, and a refrigerator is needed to transport the bodies of our fallen heroes so that they can be properly honored and buried in their native settlements. i remind you 900 00 hryvnias. here are the details to help you support this fundraiser. at the moment, we have already accumulated 120,000 in the account, but there is still a little time before the goal, a little. must be collected, so please be active and financially responsible in our common cause, on the way to victory. and now we have the next one guest, this is the spokesman of the state border guard service of ukraine, andrii demchenko, in contact with us, mr. andrii, congratulations, congratulations, studio, mr. andrii, how does it look now, because there was a short, short window of opportunity

opened by the protesters from the polish side, and then they closed it again, and as of today, how do all ukrainian-polish crossings look like? well, it is difficult to say that they opened some kind of window there, because in fact, the situation at each of the checkpoints changes, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse, but they constantly change their wishes regarding the blocking of traffic for cargo vehicles, but it remains unchanged in recent days that they are taking such actions in five directions, and these are the directions of the checkpoints, speaking from the ukrainian side, yagodyn, in stelukh hrynyv, ravarusk and shegin. from the ninth, on the night of the eighth to the ninth, when they unblocked the traffic in the direction of krakowiec, and we had preliminary information that they were to

resume their actions from the 13th, those actions, fortunately, did not take place and at... the krakow checkpoint, traffic remains heavy at both directions in these last days. that is, trucks also go through hrakivets. well, why are you surprised by trucks. actually, polish farmers block traffic only for freight vehicles. fortunately, other categories of transport travel freely in all directions. these are both passenger cars and buses, as in the direction of poland. which are in the direction of ukraine, blocking or complicating traffic occurs exclusively for trucks that plan to cross the border in both directions, again. in the five directions where they continue to block traffic, we note that they do not pass at all

cargo vehicles that follow from ukraine to poland via yagodin and ravoruska, well, you can. to say that they don't let them through shiginy either, because only three cargo vehicles crossed the border in the past day, in the direction of steluga and ugrynov, so they also completely blocked the traffic for trucks passing through these checkpoints from ukraine to poland , now they are passing through, well, again, a small amount, but there maybe one or two trucks per hour, still - they are passing into the territory of poland, the complexity, we mark the crossing of the border from poland to ukraine in the direction of yagodina and shegen. about 120 freight vehicles crossed from poland to ukraine along yagodin , and about 40

freight vehicles crossed through sheginy. with the fact that, if you return to the yagodin checkpoint again, in the code. let me remind you that this is the largest infrastructural direction, which can pass 1,200 and 1,400 trucks in both directions per day. mr. andrii, and in this case, the drivers who stand in queues for others than kraków at checkpoints, are planning, or perhaps already doing it, trying to actually change their route, if the carrier, the company with which the agreement is signed and where the goods are being transported allows. and actually go through kraków, well, again, if you characterize the five directions, then as of this morning there were... about a thousand, a little more than a thousand freight vehicles in queues, but of course the queue in the direction of kraków has not disappeared anywhere , here you can say the biggest queue of

all six directions, five that are blocked, and krakow itself, and somewhere around 600 trucks are waiting for the opportunity to cross the border towards ukraine, being on the territory of poland, and the queue has not disappeared in recent days, even though the traffic is moving, but... but of course, the drivers and carriers, if they have the opportunity to choose this direction in order to cross the border. well, if they came from the polish side, for example, a new truck arrived today, how long should we wait for it? if a new truck arrived today from our side, how long will it live in the cabin? in the direction of krakow, we also see the largest queue from direction from ukraine to poland. but let me remind you that in order to leave ukraine, there is a queue, that is, trucks do not need to physically stand near the border in a physical queue,

they register in yecherz and wait for information from the system when, on what day and at what time, in some comfort zone , and on the polish side, how much to sit in the cabin then? well, it all depends on the intensity of traffic, well , now how much is 5-6 days more? well , it's hard for me to say how they generally pass through the territory of poland, but with the existing queue in the direction of krakivets, for example, and at that, at that intensity of crossing the border by freight vehicles, it may take several days, but if you look at other directions, for example, the same yagodin, then it may be even more. mr. andriy , there were two cases that are difficult, as they say, to check, because we are not at the customs or at the customs crossing, but when

the minister says that it happened, then our consul beloved wife is sent to the border. because the minister said that it was blocked even regular passenger bus flights, then our consul comes and says no, everything is fine, what was it? the polish farmers are on the roads, that is , they are not actually at the polish checkpoints, they are at some distance from the border, but again, on the roads that lead to the border and follow from the border, they are actually blocking traffic, again primarily targeting freight vehicles. but it cannot be ruled out that due to their actions, travel may sometimes be complicated for other categories of transport. fortunately

, i will note once again that they do not block traffic for cars and buses, but their presence on the highway can cause inconvenience for cars and buses to move freely along the existing road. near the border, and were these cases confirmed when volunteers sent us information from the border that the trucks that were driving empty to the netherlands to take military equipment for ours to the front, that they were not allowed through, although it was immediately clear that they were not participants movement there were some agricultural products, export-import, photos were sent to us about this, volunteers wrote about it, but can you confirm, well, it is difficult for me to give an assessment of whether this was the case or not? was not, but it must be understood that there is also a queue for trucks to cross the border, and if we see a long queue to leave ukraine in the direction of poland, then

of course even trucks that could be carrying some goods, including humanitarian or other character for ukraine, it is difficult for them to cross the border, because in the direction of poland, polish farmers pass more me... other vans or cargo vehicles than those that follow from poland to ukraine. mr. andriy, a little more about the western borders, do you have any data, statistics on the number of people who, men or women conscripts, in general, persons subject to mobilization, military conscripts, under the guise of a business trip, leave abroad and do not return, are you talking about our football coach, who went and is already in miami on the beach, well, this is one case, we are interested in general, what are the statistics, how active and popular this scheme is, look, our task of border guards

is to carefully check the documents that give the right to cross the border, and we do this every day for all categories of people who cross the border, this also applies to ukrainians, this applies to foreigners as well, and then to give some assessment that they did not comply with something in relation to their enterprises, well, it is difficult for me to give this a characteristic or some statistics, but have fake documents increased now? well , if we talk about attempts to use violators of forged documents, it remains at such a stable level, on average, we can detect about 10 forgeries per day, which citizens try to submit for control, hoping that this will allow them to cross the border. in the north, in which region, which region is the most troublesome now

, sumy region, kharkiv region, che... well , of course, the attempts of enemy drgs to enter the country remain, but it cannot be said that it is us, that it happens every day, it is again with a certain periodicity, but, if analyzed in this way, then most of the attempts of enemy derg to enter our territory was recorded according to sumy. direction, and one of the last cases when they opened fire on the enemy, on the enemy drg, on the enemy drg, it was precisely in sumy oblast. also, the activity of the enemy drg remains in the kharkiv region, but somewhat less than in the direction. over the last period in chernihiv oblast, probably the smallest number of exposed enemy drgs, but to say that the enemy is completely. probably

refused to use his sabotage and intelligence groups in chernihiv oblast, this cannot be said, because again, in chernihiv oblast as well the presence of enemy drgs was recorded, after which fire was opened on them. the biggest difficulty on the border with the aggressor country is the daily shelling, so the enemy does not change his actions every day. or its territory and chernihiv oblast, sumy oblast, and kharkiv oblast, and we record the most shelling in the last period precisely in kharkiv oblast, slightly less, but not much in sumy oblast, and a little less shelling occurs in chernihiv oblast, and for its shelling the enemy uses and not spares a variety of weapons, this is artillery, and tanks, mortars, aviation, attack drones, which.

they fly into our territory and aim, including at ordinary, peaceful people living in the border areas, they aim at populated areas, because of which the infrastructure and houses of ordinary people are destroyed. mr. andriy, the ministry of defense, this one of russia, they always cover everything fantastically, and they always say that there is shebekino on the russian-ukrainian border near graivoron or near vovchansk. there, all these ukrainian drgs were stopped by a battle right on the border, and we have information from our side about these rbc, the legion of freedom of russia and the siberian battalion, so what is there on the border, that is, graivoron and shebekino, well, we have been fighting there for 20 seconds, have they already passed far into the territory of russia? our main task is to have a strong border, continue

to strengthen it, and... what is happening on the territory of russia, especially in terms of the will of the citizens of the russian federation, who , seeing the terror carried out by the leadership of russia, i hope that they will not be afraid of this terror after all will be able to breathe in the near future. that's it, that's the ministry defense heard, nothing is happening on the border, it has long been on the territory of russia. thank you, mr. andriy, andriy demchenko, spokesperson of the state border service of ukraine. now is a new time. iryna koval and the news editors have prepared the most recent, most important information at the moment, and are ready to share it with us. thank you, oksana, i will tell you about the most important thing in just a moment, wait.

it's 3 p.m. in ukraine and to you.
