fighters use bottles lying idle. when bahmud was already being shelled, i went there, made stories from these arrivals, showed the deaths of people, and my mother kept saying: take the canning away, because i was making it, something would disappear, and in the end it happened that... the only thing i took from this apartment - these are my father's fishing rods and a bag of bakhmut salt, well, about five kilograms, and i like to cook, borscht, soups, various dishes, i know that bakhmut salt is the best, for this it was created simply by god himself , in order to cook delicious food, and currently here at kramatorsk, this bag is with me, he emptied it somewhere half. but i hope that

i will still have enough bachmouth salt before our victory. thanks to the fact that at the beginning of the russian aggression in 2014, bakhmut was quite far from the demarcation line, this allowed it to develop, build and even become a kind of hub for refugees from donbas. today i live here in bakhmut, i don't know what will happen tomorrow. bakhmut lived actively, had his holidays and traditions. for example, every year for a day. cathedral of ukraine on january 22 in the city unfurled a long ukrainian flag. we will remind you that for the first time in donbas, a blue-yellow flag was raised in bakhmut above the district zemstvo administration. it was in november 1917, when the central council proclaimed the formation of the ukrainian people's republic. i used to walk along this troyant alley almost every day in the summer, going down to the northern pond. and there were wonderful places where. i caught such normal crucians, all my

fishing photos were taken on a film camera, and they all stayed at my parents' apartment, i hope they stayed, that they will wait, someday i would like to show them to my son again. artillery and airstrikes on the city began as early as may 22 , but russian troops concentrated on attempts to capture bakhmut in the summer, and fierce battles began that lasted for more than 10 months. according to preliminary estimates, the russian army lost about 100,000 soldiers at bakhmut. if we are talking about bakhmut, there is such a concept, and first of all it is important for the military, military expediency, the expediency of the point of view of keeping it.

during this or that operation, and bahmud in this case, he became just such a location that attracted the maximum number of enemy troops, just for the enemies, for the russians, bahmud became a sort of, you know, the idea of ​​fix, such a symbol, the capture of which played a more political role, run, burn , and it burns here. let's put it this way, after the... completion of the operation, the defensive operation in bakhmut, something happened seriously on the front line, by no means, by no means, but bakhmut actually destroyed the enemy's plans to conduct massive offensive operations on midnight bahmud enabled us to buy time by drawing a considerable force of the enemy upon us in order to prepare the shock brigades which we employed, a separate subject, how effectively we them

that is, from a military point of view, bahmud played his part. this city was once home to 70,000 people. the institute of national remembrance says that from the video and photos you can understand that there is almost no intact building left in bakhmut. this city also experienced a revolution in the 17th year of the ukrainian revolution, this city also experienced its surroundings, the city ukrainian holodomor 2 1930. third place, this city experienced a period of great terror, suffered, there was, accordingly , persecution, there was a nazi occupation in this place, and despite that, even after the nazi occupation, this city was less destroyed than it is now during the period of the russian invasion, where houses are destroyed, where life is destroyed, complete absence of life, there in sonski, yes.

tens of meters of this land are taken away from you, your parents, and your children every day, what can you feel when it is constantly being taken away from you... cut off piece by piece flesh, what can you feel, you can feel hatred, pain, you can weaken, and it hurts, well, in a human way, it hurts when you are cut alive to pieces, and now ukraine continues to be cut alive to pieces, it is very difficult, but i would say that the city is violent. russian munitions, it lived little by little, it somehow lost life in it, it was not killed, but it was raped by rockets, mines, shells, when it was still possible to go to bakhmut, i tried to go as often as possible, i

did not go to work, i went to see with his to an old friend, to me, every time i came there, i just hugged him, i hugged him, i tried to somehow calm him down, hug him, breathe this air of the city where i grew up, where i became a person, i just wanted to embrace him, and the raped city, beaten, crushed, but it still lives, both bahmud and avdi. it is not the first time that it is under occupation, russia seized it in the spring of 2014 and ukraine managed to liberate the city four months later. 16:32 minutes. let me raise the flag of ukraine. the president allows the flag to be raised, raise there is hope. i believe in god and i

hope that he will help us all, and there is hope that one day i will return there and hug again. hug with bahmut, and that's the first thing i would do, i would go there and see what happened to my parents' apartment, because they miss it very much, very much, and secondly, i would go to the ruins of that house, where i was born, where i grew up, i would just, i don't know what i would do there, but i would be exactly there, these are two locations, two points, two places. where did my strength come from and where to go some power of mine comes, i would go there.

people are sitting on a bench, and young people are walking, talking to each other, and this is very gratifying. this is footage from the summer of the 20th year. the video is called "marinka chooses mir". people tell local tv reporters that they are falling asleep at home for the first time in a long time. not under the bombardment of explosions, we don't get out in the basements, we sit for days, we don't get out for days, and this video was filmed by our donbas-real team exactly two years later, when there were only 500 civilians out of 10,000 local residents in mariintka, that's how

now maryinka looks like this, everything looks like maryinka now, almost everything is burned, by the end of the 22nd year it was possible to evacuate the city... all the residents, no one lives in maryinka anymore, all these places, all these streets where i was yarik, these are all my very dear places, i see this destroyed cancer, i understand that i have been there 10 times, because we have a very, very large family, and when there is a wedding, people must go there, waltz mindelson, it's a loaf of bread and then loud festivities, and the festivities are like our ukrainian ones.

the trip there was a whole adventure for him, i remember that my grandfather and i took seeds with us and went to the elevator, i was very young. myny was sitting on a motorcycle, the motorcycle was full of seeds, these seeds then had to be processed, to imagine that this elevator would become a strategic point of defense in the future, because it is an important point on this front line, well, not that it was impossible, as it was possible this is to imagine when i was 5-6 years old. marinka practically adjoins the outskirts of occupied donetsk, so since 2014 it has become one from the hot spots of the russian-ukrainian war, about this small town. at the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation, all of ukraine was talking about it.

marinka remains the hottest point of the front. fierce battles for marinka. early in the morning, militants tried to break through the defenses of the ukrainian military. marinka was a key point where there was a checkpoint through which people moved from the occupation to the territory controlled by ukraine and back. the shortest road from the controlled territory to donetsk is through the marinka checkpoint. there is always a queue here. every day this kpv are crossing people did not realize at all where they were and why they were important, and how would they realize it, when they, well, who explained it to them, they lived, lived, and then at one point in the 14th year a border appeared, well in fact, it is a border, if it is not a cardo or a border, then at least it is a fence, well, in fact, to be frank, it is a front, and they lived for themselves and did not even realize that even yesterday they could just lisapeet, as they say. to drive from one, from maryanka to oleksandrivka, you cannot do that today

you do, and here are all the cultural ties, family ties, some stayed there, others there, they talk to each other, they communicate about something, but they are here and there from the moment when you stand and look at that front line, there you already see some stadium where we played football, yes, and you look and understand that it is very close, but it is very far, at the same time. despite the proximity to the front line, the city lived life, schools opened, small businesses appeared. two schools opened in the front-line city on september 1. we are based on the bakery we will create about 15 jobs, people will receive a full salary. on february 17, 2022, shelling in the marinka area intensified, and from that moment the countdown for the city began.

pouring in the future, well, that is , now, how it all happened, but what, when i watch i was always sure that there would still be a video from a drone in maryinka, then i understand that i definitely did not expect to see this, it ... it's just hell on earth. the fighting for marinka did not stop. in december 23, information appeared in the summary of the ukrainian general staff that the front line has moved from maryanka to the outskirts of the city. and that's why we managed to hold on, because maryenka was first on the road that leads further to kurakhovo and then to pokrovske. maryenka had such, well, she has, in principle, quite such a serious terrain, which... allowed her to hold on, well, and the third, and the third, that maryenka was preparing for

defense, just like a car, for 10 years, that is, the system of engineering structures, fortifications, positions, ah, was created there for years, it was so, you know, statically very serious, which allowed us to hold these positions, not only that, already in the course of hostilities, when the first attacks were repelled, it became clear that the enemy, not the enemy, did not leave maryanko alone and therefore... they will do everything possible to get drunk in this direction, and bypassing it is very difficult, in this case, and in this way the enemy was simply forced to attack in the front, losing an insane amount of troops there, and in principle, that is why marinka held out for so long, today marinka, its houses and streets remained only on the maps, here is the palace culture, that's it city council, city council of the city of prymara. when we talk about those smaller cities, maryinka, ugledar, they became a kind of bridge,

yes, through which the war passed, through which the war rolled, through which they simply were, fell into the combat zone, under a huge amount of artillery fire, there were phosphorus bombs, there are some cassette tapes, that is , it was practically impossible to survive there, and of course to record these moments. not only through memories, but documentary, it's very important because, well, hopefully history will put its dots on and and... the enemy will be punished, it's real as if someone took away your past, your memories, or rather left only memories, but there is no way to touch that memory even a little bit, that is, in my case, there is still an opportunity to return to donetsk, and this opportunity, it motivates, inspires, and it is still such an impression , that the same moment

will come, it will definitely come, we don't know, it will be in a month, a year. two 10, well, because we know exactly how the story of the berlin wall ended, that's right, it fell, my grandfather has no chance, and most likely there will be no opportunity to touch these memories from childhood, from youth, because there is nothing left to remember, everything is already there, a completely different world is there. i begged to go home, he didn't let me in, you are my dear, and i am yours, let me go, the dawn has risen, my mother will wake up, she will ask where i was, my mother will wake up, she will ask where

i was, and you give her such a thing "what a wonderful may night, you don't know, it brings beauty, and everything rejoices at that beauty, spring is coming, it brings beauty, and everything rejoices at that beauty, avdiivka bahmud, marinka, today we made a journey not in space, but in time, in these cities everything was burned except " the memory of them and it is important to preserve this memory. donbas realii were with you. see you soon. glory to ukraine, this is the verdict program. me

my name is serhii rudenko, i wish you all good health. for the next two hours, we will talk about ukraine, about the world, and about our victory today in the program. the air force destroyed a russian strategic bomber in air.will it interfere missile terror? mobilization of european air defense. scholz found seven free patriot systems in europe. it remains to persuade the owners to give them to ukraine. complaints of good russians. yulia navalna. believes that ukraine underestimates the russian opposition, will passive resistance help overthrow the putin regime? over the next hour, we will talk about this and other things with our guests, servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine yehor firsy, journalist roman tsympaluk, and head of the board of the institute of world politics viktor

shlinchak. in the second part of our program, which will start in an hour, there will be a journalism club with participation. my colleagues kateryna nekrecha and yanina sokolova. however, before starting our big conversation, i suggest watching a video of the consequences of the night attack of russian terrorists on donetsk in the dnipropetrovsk region. give the regional center, kryvyi rih and senelniki district were under the aggressor's crosshairs. unfortunately, seven people died, and another 35 were injured. let's see the consequences of a missile strike. along the dnieper, hand, hand, hand, hand, hand, everything will be fine, i woke up, i... heard the sound of a siren,

i woke up from the explosion, grabbed the cat, put it in the carrier and left, ran out of the house, my apartment is now behind your back, i’m watching how it is extinguished by the ten-year-olds, my daughter’s hand was almost taken off, some kind of nightmare, i’ve already lived most of it life, i am so horrified that...

's first guest, yehor firsov, a serviceman of the 109th armed forces battalion forces of ukraine, sergeant of the company of unmanned aerial vehicles, people's deputy of ukraine of previous convocations. mister sergeant, i salute you, thank you for being with us today? i congratulate you, as always i wish everyone good health. thank you, mr. yehor. let's start our conversation with the downing of the tu-22m3 plane this night, one of the planes, a strategic bomber that was striking the territory of ukraine, was shot down, and it fell over the russian territory in the stavropol territory, the russians say that it was apparently a technical malfunction, but representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense andriy yusov on the air... radio liberty said that this was a special operation of the main intelligence department of interaction with the air forces, let's listen to what andriy yusel said,

an enemy strategic aviation plane was destroyed, for the first time during a combat mission, actually in the air during the period of the full-scale invasion, and destroyed during the combat mission, meaning that the other er... yes, which was following it, was forced to turn around, and this means that another number of missiles were not fired at ukraine, in general the operation was, well, a certain repetition, inclusion, of course, of the gurmo operation to shoot down the a50 plane, which took place recently, so the distance this time is even greater, let us remind you that we are talking about a distance of about 300 km from ukraine. border, this is truly a landmark operation, a landmark result for ukraine. mr. yehor, this operation, which was carried out by gurmo together with

the air force, shows that in ukraine there are more opportunities to hit aircraft at such a distance, or the ukrainians are starting to adapt those weapons, which she has, they have in order to strike such blows, that is, from experience of use. with the weapons that you use, well , obviously, ukrainians turn into kulibins, who try to hit objects with various weapons, even it would seem that in an absolutely unusual situation to shoot down such strategic bombers, in fact , this is exactly the case, and ukraine is lacking weapons, but we are starting to experiment, here. this is how drones appeared, by the way, because there was not enough ammunition, because there was not enough of a certain amount of artillery there, drones began to be used for a different

purpose, here, and it was about a year and a half ago, and you can clearly see what role, for example, the very same fivi drones now play a colossal role in this war, and i also think that i do not have certain technical there with knowledge in the field of air defense, but i think that here it is the same story, simply due to the experiment of such military creativity, it is very good that we have it, it is very good that there are units that take similar risks, by the way , we do not know how many there were, for example, unsuccessful ones operations, i am convinced that behind this operation, believe me, there is colossal work, a huge amount of... time spent by the soldiers on this preparation, and as we see the result, the result is very, very important for us, because believe me. now the enemy

feels very confident and confident in the air, and we have very few means to, well, let's say, beat the enemy in the air, yes, we have patriots, anti-aircraft on air defense, but this is not enough to impose enemy similar struggle, here the story follows, here terrorists flew to beat, bomb peaceful cities, and they were destroyed, this is a very important factor, i wish... the participants of this operation success, and let's hope that this will not be an isolated incident, but that it will develop into systemic, systematic actions. general budanov says that this special operation took place for a very long time, and in an ambush, special forces or people who serve in gurmo, sat for a whole week, until this plane went to those lines where

they... could hit and hit, says that the distance was 308 km, well, this is quite serious this is the result, and with what we can congratulate the gurmo fighters and the air force of ukraine, but you mentioned that this war is turning into a war of drones, in ukraine even the forces of unmanned systems of the armed forces of ukraine were created, a decree was signed in february, sukharevsky heads these. the power of unmanned systems, how do you evaluate the beginning of the war and the use of drones, the first thing is from the ukrainian side, and how much our enemy is now making progress in the use of drones, how quickly they adapt, because they probably have resourceful the base is bigger, they have more partners who can do it, iran is meant there.

china, i don't know, the north, north korea, that is, what do we look like in the sky now with drones, and how are they? look, the situation is as follows, ah, i suggest even going back a little bit to the past, exactly one year ago, i brought my unit the first batch of fpv drones, i was still engaged in tactical medicine, these fpv drones, when i showed them to my command, well, first of all, no one believed in them, and in... they said that it was impossible, unreal, they were looked with interest, just looked, took and couldn't believe that it could destroy a tank, here and there, recently a batch of fpv drones came to us in the amount of 300 pieces, and believe me, for these 300 pieces we will definitely destroy several dozen tanks, howitzers, self-propelled artillery installations, now we are hunting for a... such

an installation, which, for example, releases there, well, let's say, rockets, so as not to talk about it widely, that's why everyone understands, and by the way, i will say about our brigade that we overtook the artillery a long, long time ago, but our results are very, very important, that is, i don't know, well, for tens of millions of dollars , we, just our platoon, destroyed enemy equipment, so it's very important, it's... a breakthrough, and we, as our unit, yes and in principle, all the armed forces of ukraine have made there, well, not that step, just a giant leap in progress, but there is one nuance, the nuance is that the enemy is also developing very strongly, and the enemy is doing some things, well, let's put it this way, even better than us, despite the fact that russia is under sanctions, but they

by... they supply, drones are supplied to them, directly to drones, china, for example, directly, we do not have such an opportunity to work with china, no company that will buy drones in china simply cannot do it, because there is some the internal directive is not to work with ukraine, it can be done through some country over there in europe and so on, invent something, here, but we do not have such an opportunity directly, and i know that a number of factories are working in the enemy... of ours, large-scale factories for the production of fpv drones and not only, so i am probably now, well the ether is not enough to list what they have there, what we have, the main story is that at some points they are a head higher and half a hull ahead of us, they have longer -range drones, such as lancets, supercams,

reconnaissance drones, like... what does it mean, does it mean that...
