of the fourth brigade of the national guard of ukraine rubizh volodymyr nazarenko. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good afternoon, mr. sergey, good afternoon, studio, good afternoon viewers, thank you for the opportunity to join your broadcast. your brigade is now operating in the bahamud direction, according to the report of the general staff, yesterday there were a little less enemy attacks than before and usually, but the statistics of the general staff are one thing, and the reality is another, so here is what is happening in your area now for two days and whether there may finally be more ammunition that can we use on the enemy? well, we must first of all understand what is meant by combat clashes in this sense, because even a counter-battery duel, a counter-battery, artillery shelling, mortar shelling - this is a collision when the enemy strikes fire impression and aimed, unaimed on the near, on the far rears, it is still

the use of weapons that the enemy uses, obviously for some purpose, whether it conducts artillery training, or it... conducts some preparatory actions or simply bombards, but it is not changes the essence of the essence, it is in any case combat engagements and it is very difficult to count and somehow characterize and really say how many combat engagements there are and what exactly to put into the meaning of this statement, what are combat engagements, combat engagements when orcs become good orcs and when... they are destroyed, that is also a combat encounter, but when used, when used, any weapon that destroys an orc, and this is firstly good news, and secondly, it is also a battle, and in fact the losses of the enemy are much greater, if you count every actual firefight, every machine-gun round

, every fight, then in fact there were even more and more combat casualties. than is indicated, if one thinks that, if one does count combat engagement as battles, when the enemy tries to advance and when he uses some small groups or accumulations of infantry deploying and trying to advance using different tactics, either with light armor or with heavy armor trying to advance and being repulsed when the defense force in most cases simply smashes these groups. at the stage where they are approaching even their zero lines, it is obvious that the enemy is really, i can't say out loud that is exhausting, because the actions of the enemy are relatively ... tic, but with the improvement of the weather that has happened, significant yes, an improvement weather that happened a week or two ago, obviously the enemy has become more active, because the

better the weather, the more visible, the warmer, the more opportunities there are to carry out logistics, to carry out movement, accumulation and somehow use those connections, in general, the trend is such that occupying troops, their units, their brigades or formations, as they call themselves... corps, divisions, regiments, battalions, groups, brigades, each, each of these units, each of their brigades, was given the task of exerting maximum pressure and try to advance, but in the majority cases, i say again, their units are exhausted and suffer huge losses, we really have to clearly understand that for the enemy , human resources are an unlimited resource, they can supply themselves and... put reserves of these vannik orcs, mobilize them, and more moreover, unfortunately, we hear about some statements that they are also trying to mobilize ukrainians from the temporarily occupied territories, who

are actually held as slaves, and in principle there is a danger in this, but the key thing is that the enemy can afford relentless attempts advancement and everything rests only on those reserves that they, how they quickly replenish them after suffering huge losses both in equipment, in manpower, and in artillery, in ammunition, perhaps the defense forces are ready for various developments of situations , various developments, and in any case, all the assaults that the enemy tries during the build-up phase will be hit against the enemy. mr. volodymyr, thank you very much for these explanations, for what you do for our state, for ours. defense, i will remind our viewers that it is was volodymyr nazarenko, an artillery officer of the fourth brigade of the rubizh national guard, then we will assess the changes that are taking place in all areas

of the front on a larger scale, and viktor kyvlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, will join us. now we are establishing communication, and i will say that in fact now in many areas the enemy is trying to put pressure on... our line of defense, commander-in-chief syrsky yesterday, when commenting on the situation on the front line, singled out first of all, two directions, these are along pokrovsky and kurakhivskyi, on these directions, as he said, the enemy is trying to push through our defenses, and the task of the armed forces in these conditions remains unchanged, it is primarily to ensure the retention of those positions that are held. our troops to inflict maximum losses on the enemy and at this time create the prerequisites for the formation of our reserves, and now we are joined by viktor kevlyuk,

a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies. mr. viktor, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, mr. sergey, thank you for the invitation. i have already made a certain preface regarding general syrskyi's statements yesterday about the two directions there, which he identified as in... more important, as critical, these are pokrovsky and kurakhivsky, and i would like you to appreciate how different the situation is in in these two directions, and how can the further actions of the enemy be predicted here? as for the pokrovsky direction, this is the same direction where the enemy has wedged itself into our defense as much as possible, in the direction of ocheredyne novooleksandrivka , the enemy's 30th and 35th brigades are advancing in the direction novobakhmutivka sokil. the 433rd , which was re-formed against the 27th division and the 55th brigade, advanced, but the pace of the offensive there dropped sharply and

the commander of the 41st army of the enemy was forced to enter the battle of the 74th brigade, which was restoring combat capability and has not finished this process today. in the direction of arkhangelsk, the 132nd brigade of donetsk separatists is advancing, in general, this direction is the only one today where the enemy has a real chance to turn his tactical success into an operational one. the purpose of the enemy's action here is to form the southern flank the future operation to encircle turkey. in the kurakhovsky direction, the situation is as follows: from saromykhaivka, which is under the control of the enemy , the fifth and 110th brigades of the enemy are advancing in the direction of krasnohorovka. along the highway to kurakhova. the 103rd regiment of the 150th division fights through georgievka, and after the victory, two regiments - the 242nd, 255th, and 20th divisions, behind them are ready

to advance. the potential success of the 163rd regiment of the 150th division and the 96th regiment of the mobilization reserve, this is a kind of transshipment base of human resources, that of the regiments of the first echelon, which has more losses, immediately receives reinforcements at the expense of this regiment, the goal is to form the northern flank for the further encirclement of our troops in ugledar, this is the situation, and if... we will now assess the situation in the bakhmut area and around the chasivyar, because the officer gave gave you such a general picture related to the tactics of the enemy's actions, about what is happening in this area, and what can be expected in the actions of the enemy in terms of advancing to the time of the ravine, what risks, opportunities does the enemy have, how do we take this into account? how to think that time is very important for the enemy, for

this... says the fact that the most combat-capable part of the armed forces of the russian federation, its airborne troops, is fighting here. so, the groups attacking chasiv are zvanov's 98th airborne division and 11th separate airborne assault brigade. as a change of coin, there is a seventh, so- called volunteer assault brigade, saint george. and no less strange 58th. a separate special purpose battalion of the first army corps, on the northern flank between 217-29 regiments of the 98th division bogged down in bohdanivka and kalinovka, in the defense of the troops of the khortets group, on the southern flank in the ivanovo district, the 11th assault brigade committed suicide and the 102nd regiment of the 150th division helped in this. and in the north and in

the south, during seven days of the month of may , the enemy’s advance of 0 m. transforms into a somewhat gray area where the 331st regiment, the same 98th division, is fighting, they regularly attack the eastern edge of the chasofog ravine, someone runs to the novy quarter or the kanal microdistrict photographed with the russian banner, right there dies, in moscow they begin to talk about the capture of the temporal. this scheme works in two weeks with plant irregularity. as for the exit of the enemy on the pokrovsk kostiantynka highway. now the enemy is about 16 km from this intersection, that is, formally , it is fire control of artillery and unmanned systems. but it does not interfere today, especially the logistics of our group in the time abyss, and if the enemy achieves something there, it

will not mean anything. some fatal consequences for the defense of the time ravine, because there are backup logistics routes. in general, all activity in the area of ​​chasovoy yaru is the formation of the northern flank for the further encirclement of our tactical group, which is defending itself in the area of ​​toretsk. mr. viktor, i cannot but ask about the dynamics of the enemy's actions regarding the accumulation of forces and resources there in the direction of kharkiv and sumy, because a number of our... officials have already commented on this, how do you assess the possibilities of the enemy's actions in these directions? quite strange things are happening there from a military point of view, first of all , the formation of the sever operational group of troops, which was headed by the commander of the new leningrad military district, general lapin, the group included the 11th army corps from kaliningrad, the 44th army corps

from karelia. and most likely, the 138th brigade of the sixth general military army will be transferred to them. it is interesting that the 44th corps is being redeployed to all districts. echelons arrive in the kursk region, unload at very small stations, almost unknown to anyone, where there are a minimum of people, a minimum of personnel, and move marching to the bilhorod region to their concentration areas. what can all this do mean? i think that the enemy's goal is, first of all, to distract the command of the defense forces from more important areas, to make it impossible to use, first of all, strategic reserves that may be needed in other operational directions, and accordingly, the constant threat of conducting raids in the direction of kharkiv, in the direction of sumy will encourage our command to keep to the north'.
