may 15-22. black week for the armed forces of the russian federation. the offensive in kharkiv region failed, the offensive in all other areas of the front failed, after the day of victory the russians began a week of defeat with daily record losses. according to the general staff, the number of liquidated occupiers has increased by 340% every day over the past 10 days, which significantly exceeds their current mobilization capabilities. in addition, a record. the losses of the russians in artillery and equipment, which they use to transport infantry. the attack was not on kharkiv, but on vovchansk. after two weeks of the operation of the army of occupation of the north in the kharkiv region, the enemies were not able to approach zachansk or kharkiv within the distance of an artillery shot, which they tried to do near liptsi. the russians could not reach it even to the first line of defense of the armed forces. in addition, they began to run out of soldiers, and therefore the rashists had to ask for help from the western army. which is trying

to break through to kupyansk in luhansk region, although according to their plan, it was the defense forces that were supposed to attract their reserves and pull them away from the front somewhere in donetsk region. the armed forces of ukraine took up the defense in vovchansk on the vovcha river, fighting continues in the center of the city. rashists began to use their cabs en masse. instead, our aircraft made several high-precision strikes on the concentration of russians. so, for example, the central hospital was razed to the ground. during the week, the occupiers not only tried to break through to the other bank of the vovchanska river. but also wanted to find an opportunity to force the river east and west of the city. expanding the zone of their control to the west, they occupied the village of bugruvatka and reached the outskirts of staritsa. here the russians advanced to a distance of 2.5 km. however, they carry out this movement along the border, and not deep into ukraine. with farshataks on lypka, the enemy penetrated 1 km deep and expanded the gray zone. however, they need to walk another 5 km to the village itself, and also break through the first line of defense. in addition, the armed forces. to the russian federation

again tried to cross the border near the village of zelene, where fighting is currently ongoing. to continue the offensive, the russians will have to call for help from even more resources from other fronts, because, as it turned out, they have no others. thus, the armed forces of the russian federation once again proved that they are not capable of conducting an offensive operation not only at the tactical level, but also operationally. now their offensive on sunshchyna, which budanov had previously announced, also ended up under the threat of disruption. offensive in luhansk region. after the occupation of kislivka and kotlyarivka. a few weeks ago , it was possible to stop the russian advance on kupyansk along the r-06 route from svatovo. therefore , the rashists began to expand the territory of control near the recently captured village of krakhmalne, where they managed to enter berostove. now the front runs along the reservoir in the center of the village. in general, the invaders increased the captured territory by 2 km to the west and 3 km to the south. on the one hand, the russians concentrated the largest number of tank groups, about a thousand, in the luhansk region units, which is 1/3 of all occupation tanks. so, they are preparing to break through to

kupyansk. but on the other hand, it was from there that the russians transferred part of the reserves to the kharkiv region, so the offensive on kupyansk may slow down again, especially since the loss of equipment here is in the ratio of one to seven in favor of the armed forces. chasiv yar was driven out of the city by the russians. a few days ago, the rashists gathered a lot of tanks, bmps and other equipment and, as we expected, began a frontal offensive at the time of yar. they moved along two roads from hramovoy to the kanal quarter and from ivanivskoye to the south district. the city where they had previously managed to cross the siversky dinets canal. the defense forces were able to completely stop the enemy and destroy most of their equipment and infantry, as well as push them back 300 m from the city to the other side of the canal. despite this, russian planes continue to terrorize the city, dropping dozens of bombs on it every day, and the defense forces currently have no means of protection. postavdiyiv front. here the russian offensive practically stopped. near ocheretiny, enemies tried to attack novooleksandrivka and falcon, but they... were shot down. the armed forces of ukraine remained in

positions south of uchereteny, thus leaving the possibility of maneuvering a counteroffensive on this fortified area. near novokolinovo, the armed forces of the russian federation continued to occupy the gray zone and you. went to the road to kostyantynivka. at the same time, the armed forces of ukraine on this part of the front occupied penny heights and are shooting the invaders with artillery. by the way, not a single brigade will be affected by the lack of shells, although there are not as many as we would like. to the south, the enemy managed to advance several hundred meters to the west in the direction of novopokrovsk. the only place where the enemy managed to really achieve a result was the completion of the occupation of the small village of netaylove, located at the intersection of the pokrovsk-umensk road. after the withdrawal of the defense forces from there, the occupiers naturally also advanced. in several places per kilometer in the direction of yasnobrodivka and southern road to umansk. all the namansk raids ended only with burnt equipment and a pile of corpses. it is interesting that it is on this part of the front that in the last 10 days the 110th brigade shot down five sud-25 aircraft, which are the main seeds of the cabs. therefore,

help came here as soon as possible. we hope that it will soon reach the temporary ravine. offensive on the uglydar. the russians have been trying to capture ughledar for a long time, but have been repeatedly defeated. under the city, which this time, when they tried to attack zmikilskyi, so they want to cut the supply routes to the city and bypass it from the north. step by step, the armed forces of the russian federation are advancing in this direction every month half a kilometer a kilometer. in a week, they moved a hundred meters in the direction the village of paraskoivka, and also slightly expanded the captured territory to the south of novomykhaivka. at this rate, the russians are unlikely to ever achieve what they want. counterattack on crimea and strikes on russia. it is obvious that the armed forces of ukraine. liberate the south of ukraine and crimea, so they systematically destroy the military infrastructure, as well as other objects that work for the russian army. ukraine began to practice attacks in waves with a large number of drones, each time the russians report the destruction of their air defense 100-150 of our drones, and immediately after

there are reports of critical facilities catching fire. in particular, for the second time this year, drones stopped the refinery in tuapse and the third refinery in slovyansk in the kuban, and also burned fuel oil and fuel terminals in the port of novorossiya. and two bases near this port. in the end, the drones hit at least one su-27 fighter jet at the kushchi airfield in the krasnodar territory, and also damaged the airfield's infrastructure. in sevastopol , atakam missiles sunk the cyclone missile ship from the karakut series. all the others fled to novorossiysk, and this one obviously did not fit. in addition, drones burned down a substation and left sevastopol without electricity. however , the most important for our counteroffensive was the double strike on the airfield in belbek, where the missiles and drones were destroyed first. two launchers of the most modern air defense s-400 and a radar, as well as a command post and a storage warehouse for air-to-air fighters, the next strike minus two mig-31 fighters, a sud-27 multi-purpose fighter and a mig-29, and this is only according to confirmed data,

the true scale of russian aviation losses it is currently unknown, we are defeating death to our enemies every day. so this is the situation, oleksandr kovalenko, a military officer, joined us. technical columnist of the information resistance group, congratulations, oleksandr, congratulations, well, let's go, you know, let's go straight from the north, and down, let's start with sumyshchyna, about which they were now thinking, about which the conversation has already begun, that, you know, before the russian offensive in the kharkiv direction, we were there with you for two weeks, it seems that we also discussed that russians were gathering there, but now they seem to be gathering in sumy district. is it possible to draw some conclusions from this and actually react somehow better than in the cluster in the kharkiv region? well, what could be a better response? and to carry out strikes on the territory

of the russian federation, where they are located, is possible, but for this we need to use western weapons, do we have the permission of our western partners for this? no, we don't have it, so that's the reaction. she, well, wanted to see how an attacker from a combat unit type scatters, scatters 900 ammunition on the russian principality, which then something there to storm, but this will not happen, regarding cationic structures, this topic has already been our informational one and a half weeks. there are many points regarding verification in sumy region, it is a gray area without it being any and not only, and so on, that is, it is impossible, oleksandr, there is something that our

connection is interrupted a little, let's try to recruit you, because you are not very it's good to hear, well, actually there, i can still tell you that in the area of... sumy oblast, well , ukrainian analysts, well, igur and individual analysts, for example, kostyantyn mashovets , analyzed how the gatherings take place there. it was said that there were about 10-12 thousand russians there, then another two or three thousand appeared there, well, something in those limits, and of course it is not 50,000, as in the kharkiv region, but you know, maybe for such a small diversionary strike, such a spread, maybe it will be enough for the russians, maybe not, it remains to be seen. well, actually, this is interesting, to what extent such forces, which

are trying to withdraw there now, are capable of anything at all, i mean the russian forces, i.e. within these limits, there are somewhere around 10 or 15 thousand, that is, what are such forces of the russians capable of in sumy oblast, if such an agreement is made? yes, we can already talk with you, oleksandr, it seems that they have already improved a little. please, yes, attempt number two, and therefore, if we are talking about sumy oblast, then in the gray zone there are also non-cash structures, a kilometer 3 km from the border with the russian federation, in general, the construction of falsified structures is such a debatable topic, but i say it as it is , and here it is necessary to understand what the russians can do units with the potential that is concentrated in them now... in the kursk region, the kursk group of troops is concentrated in the kursk region, it is now part of

the north group of troops, but the total number is slightly more than 10,000, and now in the novgorod region, where their offensive actions on olectiv, as well as on vovchansk, concentrated approximately 40 thousand, these 40,000 were concentrated due to the fact that they used the resource of not only the 44th army corps, but also the 11th army corps, as well as units of the sixth combined arms army from the group of troops west, this is the kupinsky direction, and of the first tank army, which also has this group of troops west, the kupinsky direction, that is, in kharkiv oblast , the number of enemy potential is actually engaged in the number of 40,000 troops in the kurt region. as for sumy region, it is a little more than 10 thousand, four times less, and from this we can draw at least

a basic conclusion, in the border zone, there will be raids, sabotage and terrorist activities, so definitely, yes, a very similar scenario, as and on kankivshchyna has the same zones, but at the same time it is four times less powerful, the threat of the occupation of sumy, the encirclement of sumy aside. of the entire sumy region, this threat is absent, well, it is interesting, by the way, how do you consider, here is a publication in the economist, where it was said, well , as it was published, they got into the plan to attack kharkiv region, where it seems that the russians predicted that they will somehow be able to half-cover kharkiv oblast there, get to the border, from where they can fire at kharkiv oblast, i so... understand that we were talking about in the first place the line about lypki, where it is close enough and you can fire at it, well, there are also

several such assumptions in the same publication, one of which seems to be that, well, the ukrainian military is angry that the russians managed to advance so quickly, and on the other hand, that as if the commands, generals or anyone else do not report to zelensky about what is happening. but for me personally, in fact, this publication causes such, you know, double impressions, because, well, as you already said, what does it mean unexpectedly, what does it mean to advance, well, if there was an opportunity break them in places of concentration, then there would be no need to talk about any advance at all, well, that is, they saw that there was a concentration there, everyone warned about it, the president knew about it, everyone talked about it for two weeks, it is for no one. was not news, but if the russians do not crush them on the territory of russia, well, what we are talking about,

it is obvious that they will have the opportunity to advance to the border territory, well , that is logical, but on the other hand, here is the question, how far is this plan russian remains generally relevant for now, ot after they have made some attempts, they are still fighting there in the vovchansk region, they are trying, they continue to advance on a... sticky note, but how relevant is what the economist laid out for them? well, i don't know at all, the deconomists have such information, they never, well... this is the very interesting style of western changes, never mentioning their sources, but some official official without a surname, without a name, without a father's name provided them with this information , so they must, all other readers of this publication, they should believe this information, that it is reliable, and as for zelenskyi, here is also

an interesting point, zelenskyi does not deal with issues. they can tell him where to send which troops and how to form the defense, but he doesn't make decisions, and the relationship here is very complicated, i can't imagine what zelensky is saying, you know, let's go we cold yar 93 will send a separate mechanized brigade now under the wolfman, this is my principled decision, or 110 a separate mechanized brigade. also all podvopchansk, no, this the decision is made at the level of the general staff, and regardless of what information the president receives, it does not affect the course of hostilities and the tactics and strategy of conducting hostilities, because it is taken at completely different levels, and in general that the russians

are preparing for the corresponding actions, hostilities in kharkiv oblast. well, they talked, i think, even earlier than two weeks ago. at the end of the 23rd year, the beginning of the 24th, an information campaign was launched by the russian federation regarding the capture of kharkiv. they have an amazing environment there was such a campaign, it had to be constantly responded to, and then at the end of february, the beginning of march, they began to find out about the formation of the group of troops north, because of what. they kept saying, isn't this a threat of occupation, to which they answered, no, it's a threat of a different order, but of sabotage and terrorist activity in the compound strip, both kharkiv oblast and, by the way, sumy oblast, that is, there is a chronology, there are notes, there is a video , it was said about this, but how can you stop what is happening, if in these

locations, it is really true, and you can apply hit precision weapons. that is, what is the group of troops north, in principle, when it was formed before may 10. group visk pivnich is a group, three groups of troops covering the border. gv bryansk, gv kubsk and gv belgrade. the total number of these troops has always, well , fluctuated from time to time, but it was more than 30,000, and it was approximately 36,000 at its peak. indicator, but at the time when their operation began in the front line of the kharkiv region, the total number of the vispivnost group was 53,000, where these units came from, almost 18 00, this is the 44th army corps from the leningrad military district, as well as

the 11th army corps, which were given to reinforce and the new... received this name north, they were formed, mainly, advanced to the belgorod region, so that somehow to stop this process, what had to be done, well, let's say this, at the places of placement of this warehouse, as well as the mechanized component of the equipment, to deliver powerful point strikes of the operational-tactical level with missile weapons, and what i mentioned at the very beginning, and the dachshund, for example , but we have on this is a permit, no, a drone could fly to their training place, for example, but what is a drone with a 40 kg warhead, and what is an incendiary high-explosive warhead for half a ton of explosive material, and what is not a high-explosive warhead, for example, but a cluster combat unit for 900 sub ammunition, this is the meat that

was attacking kharkiv oblast, it would now be in their hospitals or... it would already be in dobrevo somewhere in the buryadiya area, that's the point, we we do not have the opportunity to fully and effectively counter those threats that we see, which we know about, and which ones we are forced to adapt to, taking into account our capabilities, both forces and means, well, yes, this, you know, i can't say now who commented on it like that, one, i understand from officials of the west, who said that, well, we provide opportunities, and let the ukrainian army destroy the russian army in close combat, well, this is very much, you know, well... i would say, a comfortable and convenient position for the russian army, to accumulate on the border, and then in melee there constantly throw new ones

forces and yes, well, this is such a convenient way to fight in reality, when they have the opportunity to destroy our some distant rears, and we have to destroy for some reason in close combat, that's it, but besides that, obviously, we need to continue this discussion with.. . regarding the possibility of destroying the russians, after all, on their territory, in those places where we see how they accumulate, how they collect weapons, but did the russians really manage to do what they, apparently , wanted divert our significant reserves to the kharkiv direction in order to more to be able to attack it in the east and south, well, pokrovsk is there first of all. direction, during the yar period, the same is the case, because, well, for example, the 92nd ukrainian brigade had to be transferred to the kharkiv direction and they under, well, actually in

the area of ​​vovchansk and lyptsiv , the russians did stop such an advance there, but whether or not it turned out to be precisely what made it possible for the russians to advance better and faster in other directions. let's put it this way, the russians are also forced to transfer their units to the bivhorod region and strengthen these offensive actions, for example, the same sixth general military army that i mentioned, and the first and first tank army, they are now actually located in the belgorod region, the main structure in... conducts assault actions, offensive actions in the vovchanchan direction , and in the future they will be forced to transfer the relevant units there in order to

increase this constant pressure, in the area of ​​operations, for example, the same 18th motorized rifle division continues to operate in the 11th army corps, other units continue to operate, that is, there are not only those that we are talking about, there and... to other formations, the russians took another 10,000 personnel from, let's say, not from the ceiling, during these one and a half weeks and resettled a former group of soldiers, they where did they get it from, and so here, let's say, the game is in a sense 50/50, they are trying to pull our units from other directions, but at the same time... they are also pulling theirs, but what is the main goal, the goal is this performance in the border strip, they are not the surroundings of kharkov, this is not a fascination

kharkiv, this is not a tactical, operational-tactical, even more so, not a strategic level of hostilities, it seems to them that their main goal is actually a political one in matters of... to force to demonstrate to our partners that they can to advance that they are a threat and at the same time force our partners to put pressure on us so that we sit down with them at the negotiating table and agree not to russianize the plan on russian terms, namely the chinese peace plan, which is completely one hundred percent, as recently even the war criminal putin confirmed, he serves their interests. thank you oleksandr kovalenko, this is the military-political columnist of the information sprotov group, thank you for joining us, we have to go on a break now, i remind you about our collection for armored vehicles,

no suggestions. in 2020, the european union will end temporary protection for ukrainians, and they will no longer have a special status. i constantly ask myself this question, what will there be more? if last year we talked about i want to go home, i want to go home, i want to go home, i want to go home, this year i don't know. and what do the refugees themselves think about their future and how are they preparing for 2025? are we ready in ukraine? the government should have a demographic strategy. documentary tape expelled. war is the price of no return on saturday , may 25 at 10:00 p.m. on the espresso tv channel. verdict with serhiy rudenko is now in a new two-hour format. even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top guests. foreign experts, inclusion from abroad. about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and feedback. you can express your opinion on the evil

how do you... do you feel this at all, what have you been observing for the last few days? well, around may 10, they tried to work more in small groups, to go to our positions, that is, shelling, shelling, drones are constantly flying, there are a lot of cassettes, hail, art is working, and small groups are trying to break through the positions, to get in time, but somewhere on may 17, there was an attempt to attack again, as in april, there were... such a frontal mechanized one, that is, a tank was coming, followed by troops with the landing party, and a mass attack on the canal neighborhood, they were advancing, for about a day and a half they pressed very, very actively, they tried to break through on us, such an assault and it was again impossible to succeed, how they tried to take us, not in small groups, but such a general meat attack, in about

a day and a half they exhausted themselves very much good for... logistics, they rolled back, now the last ones days they are working again in small groups, attempted assaults and shelling, very powerful shelling, unfortunately, we have wounded people, that's how it is, i wouldn't say that it has become a little easier or easier, no, huh. and tell me how much aviation continues to work, how active is this particular component of theirs now? well, it works, it works as it worked, nothing interferes with them, nothing has changed in us, we don’t have a doda, there is no, f16 in the air conditioners, then the aviation works and works, unfortunately, and with cabs every hour and periodically throws cabs and on

pokrovska also goes to konstantinov. maybe on druzhkivka, well, we see.
