urahiv, remain extremely difficult now, and there is the most fighting there. kharkiv oblast, our forces destroy the occupier, the results are tangible. mr. general, how do you assess the situation on the eastern and southern fronts today? well, actually. we still don't have a division of the eastern and southern fronts, it's just that such a diuresis doesn't exist yet, but between them we understand perfectly well what directions we're talking about, then probably. then it will be necessary to add the northern one, because kharkiv oblast is already much more northern, it is already a separate direction, but meanwhile the situation is quite complicated, and despite the fact that some managers said that we don't have problems with shells, for some reason those who are at the front tell me something completely different, probably those who told me that everything is fine are fighting for some other country, in

some other war, but i am more worried about kharkiv direction, the fact that the situation there is now localized, and the enemy is not advancing yet is very good, thanks to our armed forces, the kupinsky direction, which is also enough near khar to kharkiv oblast, this is kharkiv oblast, but let’s say it is a little further east, also enough serious direction probably the safest and most dangerous. this is exactly the direction of kramatorsk, exactly the direction of chasovoyar, and the enemy there is actively trying to increase his efforts and still take the initiative into his own hands, so far it does not work out for him, our guys are holding on well enough, but it is still quite difficult, plus actively

hostilities are being launched in the pokrov direction, where the enemy has achieved certain... results and it is very good that the enemy has not yet decided where he should try to concentrate our effort, precisely in the absence of this concentration we, if it were not difficult, will still keep the situation under control. the enemy is actively using a huge number of drones, which for some reason we have much less, not to mention his huge superiority in the air and as for the number of artillery shells fired against us and they at us. we will still lose quite seriously in this direction, mr. general, if we talk about the situation in sumy oblast, the russians are quite active there, shelling the border villages, and here are my relatives live in sumy oblast, they talk about the fact that the situation is quite difficult, there near

bilopyllya, large piserivka, krasnopillya, does this mean that they... want to go deeper into the territory of sumy oblast and , let's say, surround the city of sumy there, or or are they simply diverting the resources available in the armed forces in other directions in order not to attack more donbass and, well, kharkiv oblast? well, unfortunately, i do not have one hundred percent sources in the russian general staff that would reveal the situation to us. we can only say yes, to predict certain options for the actions of the russians and sumyshchyna, including what concerns the activity of their drgs, this has been repeatedly pointed out, at this stage the enemy bird has not yet noticed the deployment of logistics bases by our intelligence, no increased efforts have been seen regarding the deployment

of hospital bases, although the same belgorod region has already reserved 3,600 beds for soldiers of the russian federation, so the situation at this stage is not yet threatening as far as the activation of their drgs is concerned, well, if at one time they did not remove forces special border operations of these strips, the situation was probably much better in our favor. meanwhile, the spokesman of the state border service andriy demchenko talked about the possibility of the russian army attacking the sumy region and said that it should be ruled out. this is not possible, let's listen to the rather small synchronicity of the spokesman of the state border service, it can never be ruled out, i mentioned it before, that including in the direction of sumy, the enemy can at any moment, even though he does not have sufficient forces to try to do something similar, as it is now happening on

in the kharkiv direction, precisely in order to stretch the front line, the line of active combat operations and... actually stretch the defense forces of our country, again, if we are talking about sumy, the sumy direction, if the enemy commits such actions, so that we strengthen this direction as well and used their reserves there. so, actually, we see that the state border service does not rule out that the russians may attack the sumy region, well, at certain points and... in this situation, of course, there is a big question about the provision, about the weapons that we will receive from our western partners, you, mr. general, said that... there are not enough shells at the front, as far as i understand, and there are not enough weapons despite all the assurances, i wanted to ask you, since you

once worked, started working with the team zelenskyi, the yakonomist writes about the fact that zelenskyi is kept in a warm bath and sometimes they do not agree on what is happening, and zelenskyi seems to shout at the generals who... this information is from him, or how true can it be? well, first of all, as regards the statements of the border guards, then directly, for the actions of the enemy and for the actions of the armed forces, after all, it is better to let the armed forces themselves speak, there are official representatives who have the authority to do so, let the state border service deal directly with border issues and not step outside of its sphere of responsibility, that refers to a warm bath for the president. on the very first day of his game as the president of ukraine, i emphasize the game of the president of ukraine, because in many cases he beautifully and beautifully

narrates the texts that the speechwriters write for him about the situation in the country, these videos are filmed in different places, but in the meantime , zelenskyi has absolutely no military experience, apart from the fact that he did not serve in the army , so accept all his things. everything he says to him, he simply obediently repeats, and therefore it is better to accept those who brushed their teeth in the war and, this is precisely the question for the same commander-in-chief of the armed forces, only he has the authority and the right to say something one hundred percent, and the president as the supreme commander, well, it is difficult enough for him, but meanwhile we see that it is a warm bath continues, and he firmly believes in what he is told, that in certain moments there is disappointment. well, they themselves are to blame for the team that they formed, and unfortunately, the situation is quite deadlocked, because they often form a team not based on professional qualities, but based on

some incomprehensible political preferences and the ability to remain silent and not criticize the government, but regarding this warm vany, does this mean that the hard worker got rid of his position precisely because he spoke and reported as it is. i think it is and it was, i'm not talking about the popularity that the hard-working man had, who was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, it also annoyed the president enough, because he, as a professional artist, could not get on the same stage to have someone more popular, who was more applauded, than him, that's why things turned out the way they did, in an interview with the new york times, zelenskyi stated that russia... has an advantage in the weapons they use when attacking, including kharkiv, to quote zelenskyi, this their huge advantage, the shelling of kharkiv, all the deaths of people and children -

this is their huge advantage, the daily use of bombs is their huge advantage, the use of s-300 systems, they have accumulated 10,000 s-300 missiles, 10,000 is again their advantage, the head of state added that the world has the appropriate weapons capable of countering attacks of russia, but it is not enough in ukraine. mr. general, over the past two years we have repeatedly talked about not only western weapons, but about weapons that could be produced in ukraine, why they are not produced, but in the rhetoric of volodymyr zelensky quite often complaining about western partners, but there is no analysis of the situation with the ukrainian military-industrial complex, whether ukraine can in some way cover the... needs that ukraine needs and whether ukraine could cover these needs during the last two years in order to so that it is not just a statement that there are 10,000 more

s300 missiles in russia than in ukraine? well, first of all, no one compared the number of missiles we have and theirs, uh, the number of our missiles is a military secret, and as for, well, let's remember that... on the eve of the great war and during the war, after all , no one from the state leadership seriously dealt with the economy, i'm not saying that it's not the implementation of the law on mobilization, but the first point there is the transfer of the economy of ukraine to the functioning of conditions of martial law, this was not carried out, the mobilization plan has not yet been worked out, a huge number of ukrainian enterprises have not yet received mobilization tasks for the production of certain products of military importance, therefore... show that yes, the russians transferred, and we haven't even started yet, and even a simple document like a mobilization plan hasn't been worked out yet, and it must be clearly understood

that the authorities have absolutely no plans yet. victory in this war and does not gather all its resources, does not put together all its efforts, in order to raise a powerful economy, it is difficult enough for civilians, perhaps those sitting in the office of the president, of course, understand that modern war is not a war of personally horo brave people, modern war is a war of the economy, the state's ability to provide for the needs of the armed forces, in full or hugely... numbers, and unfortunately, the russians were able to do it, we haven't even begun to understand it yet, as it is supposed to, you know, such, written truths about the conduct of war, however, again, when i listen and i hear when politicians who speak in the vestibules of our trains talk about certain things, it is necessary to understand that this war with russia

can be in favor of ukraine. when we will systematically destroy one enterprise of the military-industrial complex of the russian federation every other day or so, when russia will not be able to receive either fuel, neither rockets, nor shells, then the russian army will cease to exist as an organizational component, so the front is very important, but the most important front for ukraine is the destruction of the rear of the russian federation, that is the number one task and... then we can win and achieve we need results, and if everything is reduced to face-to-face attacks, as we often see it on the front line, then it will not be in favor of ukraine, because they have more people, their economy is more capable, so we must first of all destroy their economy, make them weaker so they can't supply their own army with what they

fight with, sir? generals, on may 19, the armed forces of ukraine hit the russian missile ship zyklon in the occupied sevastopol, hitting the zyklon means that there is no surface carrier of cruise missiles left in crimea, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reports. all the rest were transferred to novorossiysk, can we say, mr. general, that the ukrainians won the battle for the east. for the western part of the black sea? at this stage, yes, it is possible it is absolutely calm to state and say that for now we keep the situation under control and do not allow the russians to act with impunity, as was the case, for example, the day before, during the beginning of the great war, and this is very good, and i thank all those who systematically sent to the bottom of russian ships, but there is still a lot of work and it is necessary to continue

to build up with... efforts, including those concerning the same novorossian and other places and bases, the basing of the russian black sea fleet in the black sea. when we talk about the rear, mr. general, russian rear, then it is obvious that one way or another this conversation of ours is moving into the plane, can ukraine use western weapons on the territory of the russian federation? now this topic. is being discussed quite actively and many different statements appear, some of our western partners say that we do not prohibit, but we do not and do not encourage ukraine to strike on the territory of the russian federation at military facilities and critical infrastructure facilities. why do you think there is no unequivocal position of the western countries, because during the second world war, when the soviet union was given weapons, the same

americans, they didn’t say that you just don’t strike deep into the territory of germany, times change, so do the approaches to the issues of providing it with weapons, well, first of all, unfortunately, we don’t have a lin-lens, we screwed it up, thanks to the inactivity of our diplomats, first of all the ambassador of ukraine to the united states, who is more involved in restaurants after all. businesses, than, issues of providing weapons to ukraine, why this is done, why certain countries are trying to give us weapons, but at the same time you prohibit to apply, well, you can't be half pregnant, so from the point of view of our managers, they have to ask questions harder and find arguments that would work in our favor. in the information space, in order to improve the situation at the reception.
