that is, directly where the hostilities are taking place, in any weather, day, night, for the emergency restoration and return to the battlefield of damaged military equipment, in particular tanks, bmps, apc, we need a minibus that will deliver mobile repair teams and equipment to the combat zone, as well as pneumatic hydraulic jacks for the prompt repair of foreign equipment. our the goal is uah 630,000. with your help, we have already collected almost uah 2,000. so don't delay. your help is very important. you can see all the details on the screen, please join, any donation is very important. well, now let's see what has been happening on the touchline for the past few days, and then we'll discuss it. map of hostilities for the period may 8-15. what is happening in

other parts of the front, while the russians are diverting attention in the kharkiv region. while everyone's attention is focused on the events in the kharkiv region, the russians concentrated their offensives on the entire front from zaporozhye to luhansk region. during the week , the armed forces of ukraine won a number of important victories, set a new war record, but there are also tactical losses in donetsk region that pose significant threats. robotyne and staromaisk. both villages, which became the crowning success of our summer counteroffensive campaign, were under threat of re-occupation. in the central part of the village , daily battles have been going on for... a month, but the armed forces will continue to control part of the village, so the occupiers have resumed the offensive from the left flank, where they managed to push back the defense forces on two sections of the front to the west of vervovoy. in this way, the robot's performance has narrowed even more, which significantly complicates logistics, and hence its maintenance. in the direction of berdyansk, the rashists managed

to break through our defenses near staromaisky and throw back the armed forces a kilometer to the north. currently fighting. are conducted in the central part of the village, as well as on the southern outskirts of nearby urozhany. the russians are trying to carry out their favorite maneuver and bypass staromajorska from the west and east. in case of final occupation of this village, the defense forces will have to withdraw from the fertile area and move the front line closer to makarivka. krasnogorivka is on fire. the situation in the city has significantly worsened. the defense forces were forced to leave several areas, and... they entered and established themselves on the territory of the tryvki plant in the southern part, and also advanced significantly from the donetsk side. in fact, the rashists control about half of the city. the front line runs along the central street, and the zsu conducts defense in the northwestern one. there are no industrial ones here objects, and mostly private low-rise buildings, where it is difficult to defend against airstrikes and artillery. the offensive

on toretsk and pokrovsk front froze. on the postavdiyiv front to the russians. the offensive potential was exhausted, and the armed forces finally managed to stabilize the front line, both north of ocheretingo and along the route to konstantinovka and toretsk. the enemy tried to throw our soldiers away from the southern flank of ocheretiny, but failed. at the same time, the occupiers are preparing new reserves and deciding in which direction to advance on pokrovsk chitoretsk after the crossing of the durna river and the occupation of semenivka, the armed forces of the russian federation expectedly continued their movement to the west. however, their pace is significant. slowed down and in a week they managed to walk only about a kilometer. in the umansk region, the enemy made several attempts to enter the village, but they repelled all attacks and even expanded the gray zone. on the road to pokrovsk, the russians occupied several streets in the village of netaylové and came close to the road to umansk, but they did not manage to cut it yet. that the situation on this area has changed, clearly demonstrating

the downing of three su-25 fighters and a k-52 helicopter in a short period of time. armed forces of russia. the federations once again ceased to rule with impunity in the skies over donetsk region. chasiv yar, the day of victory failed, but this is not the end. as expected, after the failure of the plan to seize the temporary ravine by may 9 , the armed forces of the russian federation concentrated their maximum efforts to break through the city. their main attack was directed along the bakhmut chasiv yar road through the village of ivanovske to advance to the canal, force it and go to the southern outskirts of the city. the rashists managed to realize part of theirs. they completely seized the road to radom and approached the canal. individual assault units were able to move to the right bank, but the zsu destroyed them. currently, the front line stretches along the canal, and the russians are looking for a way to cross it. it is expected that in the near future the enemy will try to hit the city head on and enter the kanal district. meanwhile, ivanovske is practically occupied, although the defense forces still maintained

fire control over several streets in the southern part of the village. at the same time, the presence of the armed forces in klishchiivka does not pay off. there will be able to develop their offensive and bypass the times from the south, so the tick will be their next target. the seversky ledge is under threat. we rarely mention the situation around the city of siversk because there are practically no changes on the front line, although, as in other areas, fierce battles continue here every day, especially in the area of ​​belogorivka, which the russians have successfully concentrated their resources on for almost two years . however, this week the defense forces failed to hold the section of the front to the south of si. in the area of ​​the village of vesele. here, on a stretch of 8.5 km, the enemy advanced deep into ukraine at a distance of 500 m to a kilometer. stabilization battles are currently underway to prevent development. this offensive, during which the rashists want to cut off the northern salient. meanwhile , on the opposite northern flank, in the area of ​​leman, the armed forces of ukraine managed to hold the front and destroy

a considerable force of the enemy near the forces of torske and yampolivka. the offensive of the armed forces of the russian federation in kharkiv oblast. group north, which is spread over three neighboring russian regions and has a little more than 50,000 troops, launched an attack on the kharkiv region, attracting about 20,000 people and additional reserves. during the 5 days of the offensive, they managed to cross the border and penetrate into the territory of ukraine by 2-4 km. the offensive is aimed at two directions: the village of lybtsi, which is 16 km from kharkiv, as well as the city of vovchanchansk, which covers the exit to the left bank of the siverskyi donets river. in the liptsi region, the enemy managed to capture seven villages and expand the bridgehead to 13 km along the border. near vovchansk, they occupied three villages and approached the northern outskirts of the city, where street battles are currently taking place. it is obvious that there are. resources do not allow the russians to advance on kharkiv, but this is not their goal. they want to get as close as possible to the city in order to increase their own capabilities of terrorist

destruction of kharkiv with the help of artillery and mlrs. in addition, the enemies want to push the reserves of the armed forces of donetsk from donetsk region, which has been partially successful so far, because the third assault brigade, which is not used to sitting on the defensive, has started work here. at the same time, the occupation vovchanska has no strategic significance other than informational. in... 5 days , it became obvious that the armed forces of ukraine managed to hold the defense, and the offensive pace of the invaders dropped significantly. instead, everyone noticed how much russian losses had increased. in one day, our soldiers set an absolute record for the destruction of rashists. 1,700 soldiers, twice as many as usual. in may, the daily rate of decrease of occupiers exceeded the rate of their mobilization, which is a very good trend. we defeat death to our enemies every day. so we have such, you know, very active offensive ones actions practically along the entire front line, well , not even practically, just along the entire front line, and the destruction of the occupiers is going on, well, you can

say on an industrial scale, but what does it all mean, let's talk with our guest, ivan kyrychevskyi, defense expert express, we are joining, congratulations, ivan, good day, well , actually, the russian troops, you see, after the capture. they are trying to expand the breakthrough zone there, at the same time advancing on kurakhovo, pokrovsk, chasivyar, active assault actions on the kupyansko-lymansk region have resumed direction, it was literally yesterday, there were 16 attempts to attack, in the direction of liman the first synkivka, our soldiers fought back again, but still there, well, there is such a revival again, and... well, that is, we see a revival all around, and here it was added kharkiv, actually this one, when on

the night of may 9 to 10 the russian army began an offensive there, which we have now, how can we reduce this whole picture into some sort of clear scheme of what is happening, in fact , the picture is such that there is no immediately clear scheme you'll build and... you'll have to break it all the same into some separate segments, well, let's start with what actually looks the easiest now, because the easiest in terms of analysis in the sense, this is precisely the kharkiv direction, because we can really fix what, let's say, on the fifth day offensive operation, when there are even, even if there are separate examples, when the russians gain separate positions in the north of vovchansk, but go five kilometers, for five days and do not get, let's say , the main... strategic the success they wanted, that is, to open a path to kharkiv, well, it’s obvious that it’s not their weakness, it’s more about the fact that, well, let’s put it this way, the degree of readiness

of the defense forces of ukraine to fight back in this direction is much higher than it is now customary to assess, well, if we were unprepared, that is, our troops would be unprepared, then , unfortunately, we would have to talk about a much faster pace of russian advance in these directions, why should we start from the kharkiv direction, well, because now there is such a lively end that they say russians this is what they are doing there in the kharkiv region, let's call it a distracting blow in order to try to activate their efforts in other areas of the front, which had been active before, but here we have a certain paradox that precisely this is the pace of destruction of russians on an industrial scale , they grew primarily due to those areas that were hot even before that, that is, if we go even literally from the figures for today, the general staff recorded about 1,500 russians destroyed, of which there are less than 200 in kharkiv oblast, this does not mean that on kharkiv oblast has a smaller scale of actions, it rather means that the east may have finally started to work, and the help from the usa, which everyone

expected, well, how else to explain that... it's just that the numbers of russian losses have increased from 900 to 1200, and at the same time, we can record that even if the russians have, well, demonstrate pressure across the width of the front , fortunately there is no advance, because yes, they are trying to be on korakhovo, on pokrovsk, trying to move to the works, but so far confirmed there is no significant progress there, but so far it looks like this is the assessment that the russians. but in kurakhovo you can actually see such a bad situation there, because after they seized the factory, well, actually it is very difficult to hold the city, and well, this is an objective reality, maybe we are talking about krasnohorivka, because how much we remember kurakhovo yes, excuse me, yes, the direction is correct, yes, it ’s just that you and i are talking right now about trying to describe what happened at the front, let’s say, from the moment

the russians began to advance, here i... wanted to to say about, let's say, a sadder prospect for us, well, if now it already looks like a consensus assessment, which sounds in us as well, and let's say, british analysts, let's say, well, who are really authoritative, and not, let's say, came out approximately from with such an assessment that the russians can just try and increase the pressure on the zaporizhzhia direction and in theory will even be able to proceed to various kinds of active actions in the sumy direction precisely in order to first get the effect that our defense line of the armed forces will be stretched as much as possible, already then to try... well, as it seems to the russians, to activate on a larger scale in the east, well , that is, precisely in order to then simplify the way for new territorial advances in the east, so it turns out that we thought until now that this is the situation with us, now this is difficult, there is some kind of failure or something like that, so there is a reason to make a scandal, but in reality it is difficult for us only ahead, but then it will be possible to make a real scandal about how ready or not ready we were even to cut off in those directions, who were believed to be russians there

reinforced concrete will come. well , i haven’t talked about the prospects of an offensive on zaporozhye in the last few months, except that i was just being lazy, well, yes, but as for sumy oblast, in principle, the drg are already working there, you can’t say that everything is very cloudless there, and they are bombing, well , of course, this does not compare with what is happening in the kharkiv region, but on the other hand, we also have an opportunity there for such, you know, aggravation of this whole story, because... it is important not only vovchansk, where practically, well, we can say some actions within the city are taking place, well, but also in the direction of lybtsi near kharkiv, if the enemy advances in the direction of lybtsi, then he will have the opportunity to fire at kharkiv already, as far as i understand, from such a very close range of barrel artillery there, well, there are 20, how many 23. 24

km, and the vicinity of the city in general is 17-18, well , that is, it can be taken from the station, and this will complicate the entire situation for us , including the humanitarian one, so maybe this is the purpose of this whole story? well, on the one hand, there definitely is, on the other hand, let's detail what is at this distance and what is there can be occupied in the area of ​​elptsivno, after all, the russians will not be able to place a cannon directly on the line. front, but they will then be able to return to the shelling of kharkiv, let’s say, even from the actually more dangerous pion system, well , caliber 23 mm, we can remember that the occupiers actively shelled the city with these guns in the spring of 2022, there was even this creepy episode, when the russians simply opened fire from these guns and there you go, it seems that they just threw it at...
