said the commander of the attack drone battalion akhiles yury fedorenko on espresso. let's listen. what he said, as for movchansk, it is fundamental for the enemy to take it, because it can be a sufficiently successful bridgehead for further pressing into the rear of the defense forces. accordingly, the defense forces understand this, which is sufficiently powerful and active beat the enemy over the last day, the enemy had no tactical success on the battlefield, but the battles in vovchenko are now very difficult. mr. colonel, what? is putin and his army pushing? well, if we say strategically, then for the first time, their main task is, of course, to withdraw our forces from the main directions of attack, where they are strategically, they have the remaining goal, to capture the donetsk-luhansk region within its administrative borders and, let's say, to create

a sanitary zone along the territory beyond the border of ukraine. they have the most power there is no i say once again, this is as of... now what we see, what kind of forces and means they have, so this operation, of course they hoped for more, they hoped that we would not be able to react normally and let them pass further , their bridgeheads will be large, we will have to remove most of the troops from the main directions, but it is enough, well , despite the fact that, let's say, everything was not 100% prepared there, the command reacted quite quickly. uh, made the right personnel changes, in principle there, general dropati is an experienced general who has already taken part in more than one, let's say, more than one battle in the russian-ukrainian war, so i think that this situation and it was stopped by the enemy's offensive, now they are somewhere trying to press in

vovchansk itself, but there is no strategic threat, now we need to be more careful, of course along the entire front line. because, well, it is difficult to achieve employment, for example, in the east of our country, where there are constant skirmishes, but there are more there than there, well, somewhere near the 200-km border from kharkiv to the border with belarus, there, of course, the russians with such forces as in the vovchanchan direction can make provocations or, let's say, seize some territories that are inhabited... points that are near the border, we understand that, if we talk about defense, then defense, as a rule, is built from the point of view of its expediency, its er, let's say, necessity, namely, importance in terms of the area, it is tied to the area, and it will not always be there on the administrator of our

borders, and the enemy understands this, and for him it is important that we do not enter his territory, there, well, let's say this, our territory, it is the russian volunteer corps, or russian volunteers, and putin himself has already spoken about it, and here is their task, after all, to make a line of defense on our territory , because we understand that the line of defense is , as a rule, the territory that may not be returned to its use, let's say, for ten or maybe 50 years, because it is a minifield, a line of fences. trenches, the presence of personnel there, so the russians also understand that if they are not we will be able to go further, but still, so that the territory that will be needed, well, let's say, make it uninhabitable, so that it is our territory, we must understand this and respond adequately to prevent the russians from gaining a foothold in our territories, well, that is

, mr. colonel, i understand that putin wants to create a so-called sanitary zone, as he said... this sanitary zone can also affect the sumy region, because we understand that the northeastern point of our state is sumy, well, along the entire border, i understand, up to, up to donetsk region or wherever they control, how much, well, he said about it, but they wanted to go deeper, we didn't give it to them in fact, they said there, our intelligence said that they spoke up to... up to 20 km, in some directions up to 50, that is, they wanted a sanitary zone and some more of them, let's say settlements there or some, some terrain attracted them there. from the point of view, it is possible there economically, maybe there it is better for them to see for themselves what they need, that is, they didn't just think about 3 km or five, which they will be able to pass, they planned

to take such a large strip and make it, let's say , a buffer zone, but our sides did not allow it to be done, i hope that we will keep it the same way from now on, and we can mutually make the same buffer zone only on that side , for that matter, well... everything should be done that way, eh, look, when putin talked about this sanitary zone, and the russians are trying to create it, then obviously they are calculating, or not calculating, they are trying to avoid the measures of such units as rdk on the territory of the russian federation, but if in we will have long-range weapons and our western partners will allow us to use them on the territory of the russian federation, then obviously this is the story with sanitary. well, it will not be so lifeless for the russians, because from the same side, as i said, it will be possible to create a sanitary zone, now there is a discussion about

whether or not to allow ukraine to fire american weapons on the territory, and the new york times writes that after a sobering, as they write, trip to kyiv, secretary of state anthony blinken calls on president joe biden withdraw. restrictions, although during hearings in the committee on foreign affairs of representatives of the congress of the united states of america, blinkin evaded, accordingly, the question whether the biden administration plans to cancel the ban on the use of american weapons on the territory of the russian federation. let's hear what the secretary of state of the united states of america said. we rallied 50 countries to ensure ukraine's defense and provided it with the weapons it needed to defend and repel russia. what aggression regarding granting permission and approving attacks for outside of ukraine, we haven't, but ukraine will have to make its own decisions, and i want to make sure that it

gets the equipment it needs to defend itself effectively. mr. colonel, the fact that ukraine will have to make these decisions on its own, can this be considered antony blinken's hint that such a decision exists, well, simple. as the ukrainian leadership decides, so it will be, i think no, i think that is not the case, i think that what blinkin still says on the air is probably more about sending a signal in the same russian federations and show that they are, shall we say, determined, but still, for that we can strike or not, you need to know from the conversations, unfortunately, i do not know how the conversation with the president ended, what was said about it, i i think whether to strike or not, not to strike, this will not be a specific question, it has been voiced now, if they wanted to, they directly said, ukraine can strike, but now, let’s put it this way, at the decision

of ukraine, but it can always be said that ukraine did not accept of this decision, so i think everything depends on the agreements that have been reached between the president there and blinken on the sidelines, there are agreements, maybe not yet, but later they will allow it, and maybe they have already allowed the question. this would really free our hands and we could be protected from such actions of the russian federation, because russia now has trump cards, they have the opportunity to create strike groups on their territory, to bring them somewhere close to the border, when we are not there can strike them and then attack if our intelligence detects them, for example, whether at the time of their creation or at the time of their formation in a column to advance to our side, we can really... hit them there in belogorodsk or some other, let's say, some areas, preventing them from moving to our borders at all, and this will of course free our

hands, and this will give us the opportunity to keep reserves less on the borders, and to use them directly on the contact line, where active hostilities are taking place, so if such a direct permission was officially given, i think it would strengthen us, i will not say that it's a turning point in the war or something, but it would us. vasivo, but we we always have to be prepared for the consequences as well, because we see when we strike, the russians, they strike back, we, i'm not saying we shouldn't , but we always have to think, uh, everybody the ways that we are putting, and immediately we have to strengthen our ppu there, immediately we have to strengthen our positions, disperse our troops, because the russians, unfortunately, if it were not there. the possibilities for missile attacks are greater, because they make them themselves, but in the future we need to prove to at the end of our own absan complex, which,

in terms of its tactics and technical characteristics, is not inferior, but better than iskander, and i think that when the first missiles fly towards the enemy, the russians will understand that this will be the beginning of this era of deterrence, when the russians will already think before letting something go our way, by the way, the speaker of the lower house of the congress of the united states of america, mike johnson, who contributed to the fact that... the decision to allocate aid to us was delayed in time, now it supports permission for ukraine to strike the russian federation with american weapons. let's hear what mike johnson had to say. i think we should allow ukraine to wage war as it sees fit. they need to be able to strike back. and i think that we are trying to micromanage. mr.

colonel, taking into account the pace of the supply of western weapons to ukraine and the lack of aircraft in the sky of ukraine and the lack of sufficient anti-aircraft systems, what can you say, the west is deliberately restraining ukraine from the fact that ukraine does not have all of them. means of defeating the russian troops and in this way tries to prevent ukraine from taking actions that could harm the same united states of america or france or germany. it is difficult to explain their logic, we are probably fighting with their enemy, well, at least in the middle to the end of the 20th century, yes, they took part in

the second world war together, but in... in principle , they had an ideology, let's say, in at that time among the russians, in principle, it was the same as, well , practically, but it was called differently, and well, then they were allies, after which, after which there was a cold war and they were basically enemies, now there is an opportunity to destroy the russian potential, let's say, the inactive personnel of the nato countries, eh... and it's hard for me to explain why they didn't they do, but i, as a military person, as a person from the special services, i understand that this is the chance that is there, which may not be there tomorrow, especially, well, we understand how many countries the united states has helped in its time, trying to keep in the sphere of influence of this or that region, well, let's say, not that in the sphere of influence, in the sphere of democratic influence, that is, democracy, yes , they, we remember vietnam, from which they left

there, yes, there... er, korea is also there, you can to discuss it, negotiations, negotiations, the same afghanistan, they and many other countries , the same where they tried to throw in there , simply crazy resources, gave a lot of weapons, but as a result , the dictatorship won there, and they gave more there, and after that, the efforts were made there by those who who seized power after that much less, right there ukraine is probably the only one that... has shown that it is really fighting, let's say this, really, and it is not going to give up, but our partners are doing well here, i am not saying that they are not giving, i am very grateful to them for the help that finally began to arrive, of course, a lot of time was lost, and our territories were lost, but let's say, it is difficult to explain to me, as a military person, as a person with an understanding of the strategy that is happening there from the point of view of our geopolitical,

why they... they do this, i think, because they are afraid of some other consequences, because really, it is for us our war, it is the center of everything, and we invest in it, for them, of course, the geopolitical schedules are a little different, and i think that they are betting on several directions at once, that is why they are trying to, let's say, maneuver it, but well, it's difficult for me to explain, because i'm here with you right now in this uh... thick of events, i think only this, because well, they have the opportunity and they and even more europe should have the opportunity to give us their opportunities, if they they wanted russia to at least stop advancing there and was destroyed its potential, the elementary things i am talking about, which do not require their direct intervention in hostilities, but could put the russian federation in its place and show

the whole world that they are... for peace in europe and
