armored vehicles in the combat zone in the soldarsky and zaporizhzhia directions, the repair and recovery regiment works mainly on the contact line or in the gray zone, that is, directly where the fighting is going on, in any weather, day and night, for emergency restoration and return to the battlefield of damaged military equipment, in particular tanks, bmps, armored personnel carriers, a minibus is needed to deliver mobile repair teams and equipment to the combat zone, and... as well as pneumohydraulic jacks for prompt repair of foreign equipment. our 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. we will discuss this further. map of military operations

for the period may 8-15, which is taking place in other areas of the front, while in kharkiv region the russians divert attention, while everyone's attention is focused on the events in the kharkiv region, the russians have concentrated their offensives on the entire front from zaporozhye to the luhansk region. during the week , the armed forces of ukraine won a number of important victories, set a new war record, but it is also tactical. losses in donetsk region, which pose significant threats. robotyne and staromaisk. both villages, which became the crowning success of our summer counteroffensive campaign, were threatened with re-occupation. daily battles have been going on in the central part of the city for more than a month, but the armed forces continue to control it part of the village. therefore, the occupiers 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 verbovoy. 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 staromaiskyi and from throw the zsu a kilometer to the north. currently, fighting is taking place 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 the old town from the west and the east. in the case of the 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, the enemy entered and established a position on the territory of the voluntary plant in the southern part, and also advanced significantly from the side of donetsk. in fact, the rashists control about half of the city. the front line runs along the central street, and the armed forces are defending in

north-western there are no industrial facilities here, but mostly private low-rise buildings, where it is difficult to defend against airstrikes and artillery. the offensive on turetsk and... the front froze on the postavdiyiv front, the russians ran out of offensive potential, and the ukrainian armed forces eventually managed to stabilize the front line, both north of ocheretiny and along the route to kostyantynivka 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 making decisions, in which direction to advance on pokrovsk chitorets. 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 slowed down significantly and in a week they managed to walk only about a kilometer. in the umansko region, the enemy made several attempts to enter the village, but the armed forces of ukraine repelled all attacks and even expanded the gray zone. on the road to pokrovsk, the russians occupied several streets in the village of netaylove and came close

to the road to umansk, but they still had to cut it did not manage the fact that the situation in this area has changed is clearly demonstrated by the downing of three su-25 fighters and the wings of a k-52 in a short period of time. the armed forces of the russian federation have once again ceased to rule with impunity in the sky over donetsk region. chasov yag the day of victory failed, but this is not the end. as expected, after the failure of the plan to seize the time ravine by may 9, the armed forces of the russian federation concentrated their maximum efforts to break into the city. their main attack was directed along the bakhmut chasiv road through the village ivanovske, in order to advance to the canal, force it and reach the southern outskirts. cities the rashists managed to implement part of their plan, completely captured the road 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 area. in the meantime, ivanovske is practically occupied, although the defense forces are still preserved fire control of several streets in the southern part of the village. at the same time, the presence of the armed forces of ukraine in klishchiivka does not give the occupiers the opportunity to develop their offensive and bypass yar from the south, so klishchiivka 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, on which the russians have already successfully concentrated their resources almost two years. but this week. the defense forces failed to hold the section of the front south of siversk 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 the development of this offensive, during which the rashists want to cut off

the northern salient. meanwhile, on the opposite northern flank in the leman area, 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. offensive. in the armed forces of the russian federation on kharkiv region. the pivnich group, 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 2.4 km into the territory of ukraine. the offensive is aimed at two directions: the village of lybtsi, which is 16 km from kharkiv, and the city of vovchanchansk, which covers the exit to the left bank of the river. siverskyi donets. in the liptsi district, the enemy managed to capture seven villages and expand the bridgehead to 13 km along the border. near vavchansk, they occupied three villages and approached the northern outskirts of the city, where street battles are currently taking place. it is obvious that the available 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 move the reserves of the armed forces of ukraine from donetsk region, which has so far been partially successful, because the third the assault brigade, which is not used to sitting on the defensive, at the same time there is no occupation of vovchansk. 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 pace of the invaders' offensive 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 win daily, death to enemies. so, we have such, you know, very active offensive

actions practically along the entire front line, well , not even practically, just along the entire front line, and the destruction of the occupiers is proceeding, well, you can say on an industrial scale, but what does this all mean, let's talk with our guest, ivan kiricheevskyi, defense express expert, joins us, congratulations, ivan, have a good day. well, actually, russian troops, you see, after the capture of avdiyivka, are trying to expand the breakthrough zone there, simultaneously advancing, in kurakhovo, pokrovsk, in the time of yar, active assault actions resumed in the kupyansk-lyman direction, this is literally yesterday, there were 16 attempts to attack, in the direction of liman the first synkivka, our soldiers repelled again, but still there... well such a resurgence again, and resurgence in the area of ​​robotyny, resurgence in the area

of ​​the veremiivsky ledge, well, that is, we see resurgence all around, and here the kharkiv one was added, actually this one, when on the night of may 9 to 10 the russian army began an offensive there as well, which we now we have, like all of this reduce the picture to some kind of clear scheme, what is happening, so what? the picture is such that it cannot be reduced to an immediately understandable scheme, it will still have to be divided into some separate segments, well, let's start with what actually looks the easiest now, because the simplest in terms of analysis in the sense is precisely the kharkiv direction, because we can really record that, let 's say, on the fifth day of the offensive operation, when there are even, even if there are individual examples, when the russians receive separate positions in the north of vovchansk, but to go 5 km for five days... and not get, let's say, their main strategic success there, which they wanted, that is

, to open the way to kharkiv, well, it's obvious that not their weakness, and this is rather about the fact that, well, let's put it this way, the degree of readiness of the defense forces of ukraine for retaliatory action in this direction is much higher than it is now customary to assess, because if we were not ready, that is, our troops were would not be ready, then unfortunately, we would have to talk about the much faster pace of the russian advance in these directions, why was it worth it... to start from the kharkiv direction, well , because now there is such a persistent concept that the russians are saying that this is what they are doing there in kharkiv oblast, a distracting blow with that , in order to try to intensify their efforts in other directions of the front, which had been active before, but here we have a certain paradox, that precisely at this very pace of destruction of the russians on an industrial scale, they precisely grew primarily at the expense of those areas that were hot even before that, that is well, even if we go literally from the numbers for today. headquarters recorded about 1,500 russians destroyed, of which there are less than 200 in kharkiv region, this does not mean that the scale

of actions is less in kharkiv region, it rather means that the help from the usa, which everyone was expecting, may have finally started to work in the east another way to explain is that simply the numbers of russian casualties rose from 900 to 1,200, and at the same time we can record that even if the russians have, well, they are demonstrating pressure across the width of the front. not at the same time fortunately, the promotion, because yes, they are trying to be in kurakhovo, pokrovsk, trying to move to work, but so far there is no confirmed significant promotion there, so far it looks like this is the assessment that the russians, sorry to interrupt , but in kurakhov there, you see, the situation is very bad, because after they seized the factory, it is actually very difficult to hold the city , and this is objective and realistic, maybe we are talking about krasnohorivka. well, you and i are just

talking about trying to write what happened at the front, let's say, from the moment the russians began to advance, here i just wanted to say about , let's say, a sadder prospect for us, well, if now it already looks like a consensus assessment, i also resonate with us, and let's say so, british analysts, let's say so, well, who are really authoritative, let's not say so, came out with approximately such an estimate that... the russians can just try and increase the pressure on the zaporizhia direction and will be able to move in theory even to different kinds active actions in the direction of sumy precisely in order to first get the effect that we have a line of defense. the armed forces will be stretched as much as possible, and only then will they try, well, as the russians think, to activate on a larger scale in the east, that is, precisely in order to then simplify the way for new territorial advances in the east, so it turns out that we have thought so far that in our situation is like this, now it is difficult, there is some kind of failure or something like that, so there is a reason to make a scandal, but in reality everything is difficult just ahead, but then it is possible

there will be a real scandal about how ready or unprepared we were, even find out whether those ... who were thought that the russians would advance there with reinforced concrete, well , i have not been talking about the prospects of an offensive on zaporizhzhia for the past few months, except that i am just lazy, well, yes, but with regard to sumy oblast, in principle, the drg are already working there, it cannot be said that everything is very cloudless there, and they are bombing, of course, this does not compare with what is happening in kharkiv oblast, but on the other hand we also have sides there an opportunity for... such, you know, aggravation of this whole story, because it is not only vovchansk that is important, where already, well, practically in, well, you can say, some actions are taking place within the city, well, but also in the direction of liptsi, near kharkiv, if the enemy will advance in the direction of liptsi, then he will be able

to shell kharkiv already, as far as i understand, from such a very close range of the barrel artillery there. eh, well, it’s 20, how much, 23, 24 km, and the city will be around 17-18, well , that is, it can be reached from the city of s, from acacia, and that’s it will complicate the whole situation for us in general , including the humanitarian one, that is, maybe this is the purpose of this whole story, well, on the one hand, it definitely is, on the other hand, let's sum up what, at this distance, can be done in the district. .. but still , the russians will not be able to put a cannon directly on the front line, but they will then be able to return to shelling kharkiv, let's say, even more dangerous, with real pions, well , 23 mm caliber, we can recall that the occupiers actively shelled the city in the spring of 2022 of these guns, and there was even this creepy episode, when the russians just opened fire from these guns, and there, forgive me, it seems that even

a child was just thrown onto the roof of the house, it was just such powerful guns, there was a projectile... 200 kg is actually more than combat unit in the s300, that's why, yes, why , let's just say, it's important not to miss the russians in leptsia, why are there heavy battles there, and as for sumy oblast, you know, we just need to detail it, on the example of kharkiv oblast , we already have something russians, let's say so, on it is rare that they tried to act as tactically and competently as possible according to the best examples of their science there, not to simply rush into these infantry assaults, but to act exactly according to such a scheme as at the beginning. these drgs, the so-called saboteurs, or in fact special operations forces, are coming, then they are already followed by the first wave of the offensive and the second, well, accordingly, let’s say this, perhaps, just the opposite should be said about sumy oblast, that there are statements by some official structures that say everything is perfectly fine, let's say, everything is calm and not nothing to worry about, but they may not correspond to reality, and it is unlikely

that the railway company would just announce that it, well, you know, we are just opening an additional sum train to kyiv so that it goes... let's say, more regularly and it would be possible for everyone to whom, everyone who wants to leave on time, therefore it is necessary to say that the appearance of the activation of russian saboteurs in the sumy oblast may have been a prerequisite for the russian pov, well , let's say, the transition to a full-fledged offensive, but not in the sense that the russians they will be able to there so, it is possible to get out with a shot at the sums, as they unfortunately did in february 2022, but also , russian tanks can follow the saboteurs, unfortunately, it is yes, ivan, look, well, for... many people note, says, the scale of this russian offensive in kharkiv oblast has calmed down, but isn’t that just what you say, when the first echelon advanced, and now they are just bringing the second echelon up, and in fact there is still a really big attack in we are ahead,

well, you can formulate it so that we are in a state of strategic uncertainty, because... this complete media scandal, when there, let's say, someone thought that budanov's words were misinterpreted by the new york times, because the version that the russians, just as part of their task of stretching lines of our defense, they can first go for activation in kharkiv region, then move forcefully to sumy region, well, that is, try to transfer the troops quickly to other areas, this same option is also not excluded, because, well , we have a history when in order to open this offensive in the kharkiv direction, the russians, after all, transferred some units to kupinsky and lymansky. well, that would seem illogical at first glance, but they went for it, accordingly, there may be such an option that they will go exactly according to this principle of a traffic light, that is, demonstrating offensive activity, let's say. well, and in kharkiv, then switching to sumy and back, but in order to try to stretch, we basically stretch the line of our defense, we are in principle so very unfavorable situation and how to get out of it, whether it is possible

to get out of it, this is an open question, because here, too, as british analysts notice a certain paradox, that on the one hand, the russians, in terms of their capabilities, managed to beg after the life of a widow, well, beg for of the level when the maximum that they can send in an organized attack is a company. but it turns out that the russians found a non-linear way out of this, that they say, ok, we can send a maximum of a company into battle, and not as we want a brigade or a division there at once, then we can just to collect a few, well, a very large number of such poisons and simply pull them to a wider front width and attack there and create problems for us in this way, what could be asymmetrical in order to create problems for the russians in response from our side in their current format of actions, this the question is open, because simply the number of manpower or the number of... well, equipment and weapons, which may not reach the west now, you won't get here, something is needed here, well, i don't even know what it can be on this you know, ivan

the russians obviously tried with these actions to get us to use our reserves, and judging by everything they succeeded, and about what actions can be, well, we all understand, more people on the front line, more capabilities on the front line, more weapons from on our side on the front line, and then this stretching to... will not make any sense, unfortunately, the situation is not like that, let's say it directly, but here is the question, yes, we have, for example, well, not so much with the reserves, but what about the reserves of the russians, i.e. to what extent they can increase their reserves from your point of view actions, because, well, as you rightly noted, they throw at the mouth, collect at this mouth, but these mouths are also exhausted, and what they have in the reserves, from that... it is known and even at the moment the most pessimistic estimates , which sound that the russians in the reserves are somewhere around 60 thousand bayonets, that is, units that are being coordinated there, and could

in theory be taken there, removed from training centers and thrown into battle, the complexity of the situation is that even for that offensive in kharkiv oblast, the russians went to so that this 44th army corps is not formed, it is easy to take it from the training grounds and throw it into battle, because that is what the party is. they said, that is , the kremlin said, but the problem here is that since the russians are starting to demonstrate such a course, to bet not only on the quantity, but also on the quality of use, well , let's agree that here is an attempt to advance like this in three lines, i.e. saboteurs go first, then the first echelon of the offensive, then the second, well, it is fundamentally higher in quality due to the fact that they demonstrated even under the audio booth, accordingly, we have a problem, you know, more weapons, more people, more equipment, well, this story simply will not go linearly, one of the moments that, let's say, literally hangs in the air, but which is not said that officially, forgive me, but

we are the russian army in terms of mechanization, we are lagging behind the russian army, you can argue as much as you want that the russians are running out, the relatively newer t-72s are running out, so the t-62s with sheds are leaving, chinese golf carts and such, but uh, well if you even take at least, but... they have them, and if you simply open those western directories that are in the public domain, national legislation does not prohibit, let's call it that reading, then it becomes sad how far we lag behind them in defense technology , therefore, simply at the expense of, you know, such a linear expansion, we will not drag out the situation, we will have to look for something non -linear, well, that is, you know, as an option, if the russians are already starting in the rear, this is non-linear, as far as we can afford it, as far as we have for that capabilities, well... which hangs like that, i don’t know what you can say, i have nothing, for example, well, there is a specific statement from blinkin based on the results of this visit, which says that ukraine itself makes the decision

to use western weapons, that’s it number for attacks on the russian federation, respectively, well, perhaps cluster attacks are really requested in the temporarily occupied crimea, on the territory of the belograd people's republic, well, by the way, it is clustered in order to harvest masses of troops, so if it is from america. sounded like this specific wording, something stylistic, and we do not prohibit it, they say, it is the law of ukraine, and by the way, there is also the question of hitting with western weapons, it is not just a matter of planting a long-range missile somewhere in the moscow region, this is also there, taking into account the pettiness somewhere which of our western allies, the question arises whether it is even possible to use machine guns of certain types during raids there, for example, the same rdk or tanks, well, when the poles, excuse me, ate that they thought that the rdk used their pt-91 bastards , well, what simple modifications. t-72, that's exactly what so that it would be possible to use any western equipment to attack the russians, so that not only bohdans could be used to beat the terrorists who terrorized and terrorized

sumy oblast, but at least the same ones. a certain thaw is coming, and perhaps it is precisely the thaw that should be used in order to create problems for the russians in the wrong place, because to deter their attacks only on our land, when they use the belgorod people's republic for strikes, well, this is a one-way game, in we have the opportunity to open it to other gates, well, it is very simply comfortable for them the situation when they were able to concentrate in principle there on the border of kharkiv oblast, calmly and not straining too much, is wonderful. the video that is now spreading, when there is literally a game standing on the track among russian civilian cars, pounding somewhere in the direction of kharkiv, well, what is this, that is, it simply should not be standing there, so to speak, so what is it, thank you very much ivan, it was ivan kyrychevskyi, a defense express expert, thank you for joining us, we have to take

a break now, we will continue after all. to discuss the situation in kharkiv oblast, but already directly with a man with a field, let's say so, so wait, now a break. there are discounts, represented by coco discounts in may for relief, 10% in the pharmacies psyllanyk, bam and oskad. in the events, in the events that are happening right now and... on our lives, of course, the news report reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events, analyze them, modeling our future. every saturday at 13:10 with a repeat at 22:00. studio event with anton borkovsky on espresso. verdict with serhii rudenko,
