on the enemy's territory continue to take on a systemic nature, in particular, it refers to disruptions in the supply of fuel to the occupiers and the undermining of the russian economy due to the suspension of oil processing. according to the representative of gur, during our last operations behind enemy lines , only ukrainian-made weapons were used. the gurkhas of tybovna continue on the territory of the aggressor state. continues precisely at military facilities that are directly involved in the genocidal war russia against ukraine. in these events, the weapons and means of foreign production of our partners, in particular, are not used, this is a fact. connections are getting stronger. ukraine and finland signed an agreement on security cooperation and long-term support. it happened during a meeting between president zelenskyi and his finnish colleague oleksandr. stuba in kyiv. the document

minimum, although it is not the minimum, it is powerful support, but the minimum that ukrainian society, the country's military can support, which is certainly very important, to calculate not once, not later, not theoretically, but practically this year. we in finland believe not only in our security relations, in our bilateral agreement, but also support ukraine's membership in the eu and nato, provided that all criteria we ourselves should not forget how our road to the european union and the north atlantic alliance was paved. for ukraine , the main thing on this path should be victory. nato is developing a new format for assistance to ukraine - said alliance secretary general jen stoltenberg before the beginning of the meeting of foreign ministers in brussels. according to him, the heads of foreign affairs will discuss how the bloc can take on more responsibility to guarantee stability of support. in particular, this concerns the provision of military equipment and training for ukrainian...

fighters we are currently discussing ways to make support from nato more predictable and more reliable, because we are firmly convinced that ukraine's support should not depend. from short-term voluntary offers, instead it should depend more on nato's long-term commitments. by doing this, we will give ukraine what it needs, and in doing so we will send a message to moscow that we support ukraine. congressional approval of us aid, a bilateral security agreement between washington and kyiv, and the progress of our state in anti-corruption and judicial reforms. he will talk about this in an exclusive interview with yuri fizer. us ambassador to ukraine bridget brink. watch today on the big air, which starts on espresso at 18:10. they helped enemy propaganda. the security service of ukraine kidnapped several russian agitators. a local

united by football, stronger together. greetings, i'm olga len, these are chronicles of military operations. and, please join our new gathering, very much. left espresso and public organization base ua sprovit is called to support the collection of fpv drones for the 93rd kholodny yar brigade and the 72nd black zaporizhia brigade. both brigades are our glorified brigades, which distinguished themselves in such absolutely unforgettable battles, because the 93rd brigade is practically the entire east of ukraine, the entire donbas, the 72nd brigade of black zaporozhets defended kyiv and defended it. it must be said, well, actually, now we are collecting for our own production, testing, variations for the needs on the battlefield,

we can provide all this together by collecting 2 million hryvnias, so join us for good the number of enemies was increasing, our goal, i repeat 2 million hryvnias, donate to the armed forces, invest in our victory, see all cards, monobank, private, see account numbers, please join. before this gathering, and beyond, let's take a look at what has been happening on the skirmish line in recent days and talk about it further. map of hostilities for the period from march 27 to april 3, 2024. march records of the armed forces and the threat to the time gap. results of march. the main threat on the front, on which the russians made the main bet and against which they currently have no countermeasures, is cabs if in february the rashists released a record 1,500 guided bombs on our trenches, then

in march they increased this number to almost 2,400, that is, almost twice. in addition to increasing the launch of aerial bombs, the enemy is constantly trying to make them more accurate. instead, in march, the armed forces set four absolute records for the destruction of russians, in particular, the defense forces eliminated 1,546 vehicles, which is 40% more than the february figures, which were also a record. 215 cars of special and unique equipment should be added to this, which is also a record indicator apart from 976 artillery installations and 963 tactical-level drones were launched. 53 destroyed air defense systems is the bronze figure for the entire period of a full-scale invasion. 376 tanks, 869 infantry fighting vehicles, although not record numbers, are included in

the top five, as well as more than 28 thousand liquidated russians. against the background of a significant... shortage of shells for the artillery of the armed forces of ukraine, it was possible to achieve such impressive indicators thanks to a significant increase in strikes by kamikaze drones. military researchers calculated 1,062 ukrainian drone strikes in march against 652 russian ones. lyman direction. thanks to kabam on the eastern front in march , the armed forces of the russian federation managed to advance further for the first time in many months . six hot areas, intending to prepare an attack on the kramatorsk-slavic agglomeration of cities, the russians have been fighting their way to liman for months. however, in march, the defense forces held the left-bank bridgehead on the zherebets river and prevented the occupation of terne and yampolivka villages. despite numerous attacks, the invaders were successful only on a small part of the front. in the times of yar.

on the other hand, the approaches to the south of the kramatorsk agglomeration are guarded. yar times. in march, the rashists were able to break through the front to a depth of 2 km, occupy half of the village of ivanovske, and also advance along the bahmud-chasiv road, which climbs along the ridge of the highlands. in this way, the russians not only came close to the city, but also gained a height advantage over the defenders of ivanovsky and bohdanivka. in the last days of march, the enemy pushed our defense another half kilometer and began to hover over ivanovsky from the north, more complicated. logistics to this village, so obviously in the near future we will face the departure of the ssu from these villages, and in april a new month-long and bloody battle will begin during the yar era. probably, preparing their departure, the armed forces of ukraine blew up the bridge from ivanovo to chasovoy yar. already now, the pressure on chasik has significantly subsided, because as a result of previous assaults

, the road to the city is littered with corpses and broken enemy armored vehicles. avdiivskyi. for nothing the greatest advance of the enemy in march took place in the avdiyiv direction, because after leaving the city, the armed forces of ukraine had to to leave the territory that was under fire control of the zavdiyivska highlands and to establish a foothold on the new lines of defense. as part of this retreat, the armed forces of the russian federation occupied various areas from two to 9 km of our donetsk region, in particular the villages of lastochkine, severne, orlivka, steppove and tonenke. there are three extremely difficult battles. for the village of berdychi, half of which is already under enemy control. in addition, in the last days of march, the rashists managed to break through to the central part of pervomaiskyi. earlier, they came up close to nevelskyi and even announced his capture, but the information turned out to be false. at the same time , our soldiers entrenched themselves on the new line of defense of the villages of berdychi, semenivka, umanske, and tailovye.

at the beginning of april, the occupiers concentrated their efforts the most. develop success in the direction of umansk, and also try to force the durna river in order to wedge into our defenses between semenivka and orlivka. ugledarska and kurakhiv directions. despite the huge number of assaults and attempts to occupy the semi-encircled novomykhaivka, in march the rashists were able to capture only the eastern part of the village. the situation is similar near maryinka, where the occupiers do their best to expand their control zone to the north, attacking red. horivka to the west, through georgiivka and pivden, where they never managed to gain a foothold in the village of pabieda. despite the large number of troops on this part of the front and increased pressure at the end of the month, successes. occupiers are minimal, defense forces successfully repulse attacks. russia became even more vulnerable as soon as official kyiv announced the production of drones that can fly

over 100 km. as the next day they visited in tatarstan, where the drone factory in yalabuz was hit, as well as the taneko refinery in nizhnekamsk, which is the 13th largest in russia and processes 8.60. a ton of oil or 3% of the total annual processing of the russian federation. it is more than 1,100 km to nizhnyokamsk in a straight line, and drones, of course, do not fly like that, and therefore their capabilities are greater. exactly how much will become known after the defeat of new targets, which may be refineries in bashkortostan or military plants in yezhevsky. we win daily, death to enemies. well, ours. analysts made an interesting and positive forecast regarding the impression of the refinery, we will see how it will come true, and now we will talk with oleksandr kovalenko,

a military political observer of the information resistance group, congratulations oleksandr, congratulations, and you know, let's probably start talking about what there is quite a lot of discussion, that is, actually, what will the company be like in the spring, summer, even autumn, you can say that this whole period is the most favorable for hostilities, let’s say what it will be like at the front, because it is obvious talks about offensives on kyiv and kharkiv have started again, i understand that if every time you and i discuss the possibility of an offensive on kyiv and kharkiv we were given a hryvnia each, then you and i would have collected two drones for sure, this no problem, but still, what is realistic, what is unrealistic and what can we expect, because well it is... the situation is really, i wouldn't say that it is so easy for us, yes, the situation is not easy for us, and that's why we can mostly talk now about

our tactics, general strategy conducting hostilities, it will be defense-type, and we will maintain it in the near future, we will be in defense, but apart from everything else, our defense directly depends on the supply of the appropriate nomenclature from our partners, depending on this, these supplies will also depend, how effective the defense will be, and it may stretch into the second half of 2024, even during the summer we may be on the defensive if we do not receive that nomenclature in the quantity that we are requesting to our partners and quickly enough, then maybe even before the end of the year, but at the same time there are several important points, the fact that we are on the defensive does not... mean that we somehow lose, well, let's say this, we hear very often, that someone there has got the initiative, someone has the initiative on the battlefield, and like

most analytical groups, analysts, let's say, they conclude that someone has the initiative, they conclude quite primitively, it's the same as forming the top 10 strongest armies , how to form it, is to put it in the top 10 armies, first of all, in which are nuclear weapons. and who has it the most, that is why the russian army is still the second army in the world, despite the fact that it has not been like that for a long time, but how is such an analysis done? it is done quite simply: the one who attacks more often, the one who is constantly on the offensive, so he has the initiative, but this is not quite the case, and in 2023, even in the ethereum of the express, if i don’t understand exactly with you, but when we talked about the future actions of the forces against... our territories are in the most advantageous

positions for us, and also to exhaust the enemy, and according to the indicators of the losses of the russian occupying forces from the end of 2023, it is this depletion that we are currently observing, record losses in one or another nomenclature, one or another categories weapons, equipment or personnel, and if in 2022, when the full-scale invasion of ukraine began, this is exactly what the majority of experts said, that we are facing a war of attrition with the enemy, the most important thing for us is to exhaust him, and then what happened, the liberation of the northern bridgehead, kharkiv oblast , and the right-bank kherson oblast took place rather quickly, and everyone forgot about the war of attrition, but talked about... a counteroffensive, everyone needed counteroffensive actions, everyone wanted a quick victory, but with such an enemy as russia, a quick victory is impossible, and therefore

understanding now returns. that the war of attrition continues, and yet here we have the initiative, what can we say about the capabilities of the russian occupation forces, then during the 24th year they will really go on the offensive, especially in the second half, what we can observe now, especially near the time gap, and this is not yet the peak of offensive actions, it is not yet the apogee, it is precisely for the second half of 2024 that they plan to arrange at least the next two main ones. companies, this is of course chasiv, and also this is kupynsk, and the secondary directions are the line 0.532 from mariyanka to ughledar, the main logistical artery, i.e. the capture of the village of pobeda, the capture of novomykhaivka, the exit to the water from the sweet, cutting along the northern sector of the route 05-32, for what, in order to start offensive actions are already in the coalfield area,

it is very important for them. capture in the 24th year also ugledar or at the beginning of 2025, that is, for them it will be the second half of the 24th year, this is the formation of these conditions. also, of course, this is the zaporizhzhia region, this is the robotinian salient, this is the return of control over robotine and, in order to even out the battle line, to regain control of the territories that they lost during our control offensive in the summer of 2020. third, ah, returning to their main landmarks, their main accents, these times and kupyansk, first of all, near the time gap , they are now engaged in creating the conditions for a major offensive, and the creation of these conditions is the capture of bohdanivka, this is the capture of ivanovsky, this is the capture of klyshchiivka and andriivka, especially klyshchiivka and andriivka, because then they completely create a kind of security buffer for their southern

flank from ivanivskyi, and then route 05-04 is open to them, and if they do not manage to capture klyshiivka and andriivka, then this flank is risky for them, and now they are trying to get hold of the eastern outskirts temporary yara along route 0504, which goes through khromov, but these are attempts to get involved, these are still inferior offensive actions, ah, they will... continue until the summer, namely from summer to june, maybe by july they will start more powerful offensive actions, firstly, because by that time they will manage to concentrate a larger group in this location, they will not have enough of it now to launch, not enough to launch a more powerful offensive, and secondly, until all are captured those villages that i spoke about,

they cannot fully... create the conditions for an offensive covering the northern, eastern and southern parts of the watchtower. well, when you talk about a war of attrition, then we can say that you know it, such a double -edged sword, because the war of this year, well, technically , will be very different from the war of the 22nd and even from the war of the 23rd, because... well , the russians, well, first of all, began to widely use aviation, which they could not do in the previous two years. and, unfortunately, it does not show exhaustion, not at all. that is, it would seem that here we should now have more opportunities to repel them, but we, on sorry, we don't have it. the second is that we are now forced to talk about projectile hunger, which in principle, well, let's say it directly, well, we

haven't felt like this for a long time. well, actually the third option - it seems to me that after all the russians managed to establish, you know, the rotation of fresh units on the battlefield, that is, they do it, they find new people, they them, they manage to attract them, these are the three components, how to oppose them in this whole story, because they, they largely determine the possibility for russia to conduct offensive actions, well, i will start with the positive, and this is... projectile famine, this is how we felt it, the deficit began to appear in us at the end of 2023, but now from about the end of march, the beginning of april, and gradually this situation begins to change in a positive direction, in a positive vector, and help lines are already working from of the european union, and we already receive relevant supplies from our partners.
