if you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday politics club, every saturday on espresso. we continue the chronicles of the war, we continue the conversation with oleksandr kovalenko, a military expert on information resistance, and we began to talk about what is happening in the pokrov direction, because now it is the most problematic direction, where it is not possible to stop the advance of the enemy, well, mr. oleksandr has already begun to explain what is happening there, for today, if you look at the summary of the general headquarters, which is there, they indicate the four directions where there are battles, offensive attempts and...

and indicate that now the number of enemy attacks has already reached 20 today, that is , such fairly significant battles are taking place with the use of both equipment and aviation , and here you , oleksandr, began to say what the purpose of these actions of the enemy is, i would simply ask you to describe in more detail, you know, this whole situation in this direction, where they are advancing. the russians are trying to do it, and what is their goal, and actually, well, what does it mean to us threatens if, for example, they manage to advance in the directions where they are trying to do this, well, yes, in principle along the reed, of course, at first glance it may seem that their main goal is this, and the primary goal is pokrovsk route 05:11, in principle, it is...

the pokrovsk-kramatorsk route is precisely pokrovsk, in this case it is pokrovsk, but kramatorsk, the kramatorsk direction is still a higher priority, it goes through the yar times, and pokrovsk along the route 05-11 they started this movement, but now it's very important for them to create safety buffer zone to the south of the southern part. flank is completely closed, their main tasks now are to take control of all of sokil and novopokrovske in the shortest possible time, then it is already about advancing to novoselyvka and yevgenivka, and actually closing along the entire left bank of the vovchii river and the karlivsky reservoir to the netaylova line - karlivka, here they are... the general plan

is of primary importance, and for this they use, by the way, the most combat-capable units that they still have from the two offensive campaigns of 2023 on avvidka, these are units from the composition of, for example, the second combined arms army, which is the viscentre group, it operated in the direction of the estuaries in the estuary direction, these are brigades... 15, 21, 30, that is , they have been since october 23, and after avdiivka was captured, they did not take them anywhere, they left them there, and they are the main shock element in this area, the most combat-ready brigades, despite the fact that they have lost a rather serious potential, and let's imagine that they manage to create this security buffer, incidentally, a problem for the defense forces of ukraine there is connected with the fact that... they

are actually clamped along the banks of the vovchii river and the karlov reservoir, that is , the problem is that the possibility of maneuver decreases, the more the russians capture the territory in this area, at this location, the more we have less maneuverability and the ability to somehow operate more effectively and counter the russians, and let's imagine the most negative scenario, they capture. exactly this location on the left bank of vovchiya and the karliv reservoir, what's next? again, the first thought arises: they will go to pokrovsk, but no, the further movement to pokrovsk will take place, but much more slowly, it will simply keep the defense forces of ukraine in good shape, that is, so that they do not redistribute their resources in other directions. i think that it is becoming more important for the russian occupiers.

the continuation of the advance along the uzdvizhanka, especially now the uzdvizhanka is under such enormous pressure from the russian air force, and through... the bed to cut the 0504 route between pokrovsky and kostiantynka, and when this happens, the next phase can begin, and the attack on the turk, the turkish direction, and if this is combined with the desire of the russians to capture the times by the end of the summer and the pressure that they are currently exerting, then we can see their general plan, they will try as much as possible ... i can rather close completely the issue with the turkish bridgehead, with chasov yar, and as of 2024 they will be, well, as i understand it, their main plan, the main task is access to

the kostyantynivka, druzhkivka line, and in fact with access to the slavyano-krematorsk agglomeration . well, yes, such a dangerous situation, right let's say, well, another one joined us. guest military serviceman yevhen ievlev, i congratulate yevhen, i wish you health, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. evgeny, i understand that you are closer there to the horlivskyi direction, but you also visit pokrovskyi, which we are currently discussing, and chasovayarskyi, can you describe to us, well, actually, you know, this is the question, does it feel that appeared after all... well, there are some new weapons now at the front, that more ammunition appeared, because, well, as if this situation was about to change, when it was like that, there was a lack, a lack, and it was not good at all, or something was already felt, because, well, we

discussed here before that the situation is quite difficult, it is still not possible to stop the advance of the russians, and we are trying to understand how, what, why this is happening. can you speak so i heard you for a second on the first call. look, i will tell you, i want you to evaluate what i will tell you through the prism of the fact that a serviceman is talking to you from the trench line because there are some global strategic plans, which even the regional headquarters sees there, i will not tell you. and i will tell you that the skill of the open line is palpable, palpable, when there is a bk for artillery or no bk for artillery, of course. when the artillery is trained normally, it stops the enemy's work and advance, and it allows us to carry out certain maneuvers there to withdraw some of our positions, landings there, although it does not sound globally on the scale of the entire front line there, but the repulsed landings are also there for us a very serious achievement, so let's say frankly that what appeared there critically archi new that helps us there

to knock out the enemy and so on, the fact that we work fpv, you know, from the point of view of fpv, we are more or less stable situation, when we have commulitates and we more or less have, let's say, sources that help us with drones. brought explosives and so on, what, you can actually say as a matter of fact, what is visible, so that the horta began to work more actively, and i emphasize how this manifests itself, i pointed out to you, the enemy does not advance as freely as, say, i will say frankly, i saw it myself, there were settlements not so long ago, a little you see, the connection is interrupted, interrupted a little, i hope it will be restored now, well , until it is restored, i will ask oleksandr: oleksandr, look, your colleague, kostiantyn mashovets, said the following about the pokrovsky direction, that at the moment on

in the pokrov operational direction, we already have a full-scale tactical crisis, and if the enemy additionally introduces two or three, two or three motorized brigades here. then in that case i don't even see any particular difficulties for him to transform these tactics of his good luck with the operational work, enough veiled saying, but can you decipher what your colleague meant, and actually, how to counteract it? yes, this is actually what i also said, the russians in this particular location have... much bigger plans than it seems at first glance, and they don’t even concern pokrovsk so much, well, there may be different options here, because i don’t i will be surprised if they will make maximum efforts to advance in the pokrovsky direction, but the

way they form the flanks, the way they form security zones for themselves now, says that they will still move to the north, not so much east, to the north, but in any... great danger for these entire bridgeheads, such a bridgehead as turetsky, such in in the future, as the kramatorsk-slavic agglomeration, that is , this whole movement, it can really... it can create a serious crisis in the donetsk region, and how to stop it, ah, stop it, well, first of all, we don't have enough countermeasures to their advantages, this is aviation, in fact, every settlement that was lost, it is lost because of what it is completely destroyed using modified aerial bombs, and this allows them to hide any, however powerful the cabinet is , however powerful the ukriprion is, however powerful the defense lines are, they are opened, when

they are not so powerful, they are opened, they still rather, this is the first moment, the second moment, yes, it is true, we now have a little better situation with ammunition for artillery, and they started to be provided to us, according to all the promised aid projects, aid packages, but... still they are not enough, and if we are talking about such a location as chasiv i, then it is a height in general, it is a dominant height, but even there there is no dominant role of our artillery, even there there is not enough support that could at least in this location, which is a dominant height, to make it, let's say, our advantage, although all the conditions for this are natural. that's not the case, well, i see that yevgeny yevleev has returned to us, you

already talked about the fact that, well, a little is felt in art, but here is the same question, actually, what do we need now in such a case, to still feel that we can, well, at least stop the problem that mr. oleksandr started talking about, some more strategic losses, as you know, i'm maksym. but i briefly support with both hands the thesis of mr. oleksandr that today the key story is the protection of the sky, if we wait for our f-16s, which will start to change the situation a little in the sky, to beat the enemy planes, which today are pelting us with fabs and kabs, this will significantly change the situation, i would not say that tomorrow we will be there, this will allow us to quickly knock them out of the territory and reach the border of the 91s years, so as not to fantasize, but it will definitely make it possible. to get them on the lines we are on, because even though we have a shortage of bc, despite the fact that we have a shortage of

personnel, frankly, the means we have today will be enough to at least deter the enemy and not to allow him to advance, if the advantage of the enemy in the air space is removed. thank you to our guests, our time is up, so stay with expresso, we still have a lot of interesting things to do, and we will see you in a week. see this week in the collaborators program. putin's army. how russia recruits children in the occupied territories. in the skadovsky district , a movement is opening. but how does a former teacher of the university form squads of young misanthropists? we appeal to all young soldiers of russia. congratulations. i am olena kononenko and this is the program. rants about traitors who, following the call of their hearts and wallets, went to serve the rashi occupiers. today's issue is about

putin's youth army and those who lead it in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. the army in russia is not a group based on interests, it is a real children's army. by the way, it's nothing i don't remind you, putin's youth army is a direct carbon copy of hitler's hitler youth. in 2016 , serhii shoigu created his own version of philanthropy from diapers. the junior army is a separate type of troops under the ministry of defense of the russian federation, children's units are attached to the deployment of military units throughout russia, together with adults, child soldiers march in kremlin parades, paying tribute to the dictator. at first, entry there was voluntary, if the child reached the age of eight, later they began to herd all the naughty ones into the youth army. in particular, it became one of the... ways of re-educating those who went to anti-putin rallies. children are taught not

to use a compass, hold a weapon, shoot, fight, attack, and eventually die. determine your path. of course, you are all very different. some of you will probably decide to connect your life with the armed forces. in almost all the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, russia has created units of putin's youth army. according to the almenda center for public education, there are more than 35,000 recruited children in the so-called russian military center, and this number is constantly growing. small ukrainians arrive. russia, among the regular events in which young army men participate, military meetings and excursions to military units. these putin child army units are run by local traitors and collaborators. meet me, this is wagner vadim maksymovich, born in 1994, originally from mariupol. on behalf of all the youth soldiers

of mariupol, today i would like to congratulate all our citizens, true russians, on this... wonderful day, to congratulate them that we have finally reunited with our great homeland, to how to become a collaborator vadim owned a car wash and was a member of the ngo iskrinest, and with the beginning of the occupation of mariupol he decided to quit business and devote himself completely to treason, he was appointed to head the russian organization young guard of the army. now vadim is engaged. propaganda among the locals, inculcates russian views and an anti-ukrainian attitude in children, forces parents to send their children to youth, and personally conducts master classes among children on how to own weapons, how to shoot, dig, trenches. at the same time, he himself does not forget regularly to help russian soldiers. here is a video where a collaborator brought humanitarian aid to

the walking black bags. now we are waiting for the boys, they will come. here is one. generator, the second generator, i was driving with vadim, the artillery is working there, they are working now. on may 17 , 2024, our law enforcement agencies announced suspicion against vadym wagner for the production and distribution of materials that deny the temporary occupation of ukrainian territories, in particular mariupol. therefore, vadim, it is better to train yourself to survive in a ukrainian prison among the same ones traitors like you. she was a ukrainian journalist. which instead became responsible for filling the youth army in the kherson region. this is yulia olegivna sypko , born in 1976. she is a journalist by education and worked in the kherson regional state administration until february 24. when the city was captured by the russian army, sypko initially decided to become a ringleader of enemy agitation in the region.

she got a job as a journalist and presenter on the propaganda tv channel tavriya. unfortunately, the bare pier is flooded at 90. while we were there, there was shelling, nothing sacred about that there is no side. they understand that there is an evacuation, while at the same time they continue to do their dirty work. and why did yulichka keep silent about who caused this disaster, or about the fact that after the explosion of the kakhovskaya gez, the russians insidiously abandoned the locals and partially evacuated only those who had a russian passport. sypko showed that she is worthy of serving the kremlin regime, so she was entrusted with more serious tasks, for example, interviewing volodymyr saldo, and they already put a candidate from the united russia party there. people were just evacuated from the zone flooding, they had practically nothing. in addition to this, yulia became the deputy head responsible for recruitment into putin's army in the kherson region. soon, in the skadovsky district, a new movement will be opened,

a detachment of young soldiers will be recruited, so that they will later merge into a million-strong all-russian collective. this narrow-minded and crooked person essentially calls the forced entry of children through the intimidation of their parents into the selection of the organization. julia is engaged in the formation of new units, in particular, she is now helping to create a children's garrison named after the deceased kherson collaborator kyryl stremousov. despite everything to kherson, zaprodenka is afraid to even poke his nose in, sitting in genichesk with his tail tucked. the security service of ukraine has already informed her about the suspicion. and this head of the yunmia regional headquarters in the temporarily occupied luhansk region will be tried for collaborative activities and violation of the laws and customs of war. this is luhantseva oksana gennadiivna, born in 1978, a native of sorokine, luhansk region. almost nothing is known about her peaceful life, except the fact that she is a former teacher of one of

the local universities. the woman began to appear in the media space in 2022 with putin ark propaganda. among parents and children. today we are addressing all young soldiers of russia, our brothers, those who have a great opportunity to vote this time, who are already 18 years old, young soldiers will always remain young soldiers. the so-called children's troops began to appear in the occupied luhansk region in 2019 . they were initiated by the occupying second army corps of the people's militia of the lpr. after vladimir putin named ukraine. territory by russians, this formation of the russian federation acquired a new status, and new leaders appeared with it. from 2022, the chair is occupied by luhantsev. according to reports from the prosecutor's office , oksana. is engaged in the organization of the russian movement, involving schoolchildren in it, children are taught military affairs. in addition, the collaborator promotes among schoolchildren the entry into

the armed forces of the russian federation and other enemy power structures, arranges solemn dedications to the youth army, students in the captured territories, in other words, earns bloody rubles as much as she can. well , participation in political events and propaganda campaigns in support of the russian federation, this is yes, volunteering for her. a great opportunity. to touch the life of a huge country, to join the state processes. in april 2023, luhantseva delivered humanitarian aid to the occupiers in the territory of the so-called lpr, after that in an interview she conveyed congratulations from all the youth army units of russia, clarifying that the aid was collected by the regional headquarters of youth aid in the moscow region. currently, zaprodanka is opening new units of yunmia in small towns, so that there, too, as much as possible... children have undergone basic military training, this is an excellent promising direction, interaction, these are both educational projects, and educational projects , and, of course, military-patriotic projects.

luhantseva is currently in the occupied territory of the luhansk region and has been declared wanted. i hope that soon she herself will have to go through the holiday, or get a residence permit in those places where they also wear a special uniform, and instead of idle chatter about pseudo-patriotic camps they sound. thoughtful reflections on lager. it was a program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you want to tell us about the kremlin progenitors, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook. together we will send all the traitors in pursuit of the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. the most terrible thing in this war is now. it's not so scary how a person died, how scary it is to return the body home, it's very scary that relatives are lining the thresholds like this, and

no one tells them anything, for eight months alina tried to find out where her 33-year-old husband mykola shatnyuk is, how the woman says, after a short period of service in the army, he joined the ranks of the police of that time, namely the ups, later worked in... military service, he devoted almost 10 years to this profession, after which he resigned, and already in 2020 , the man from kariv signed contract with the armed forces, served in the fire platoon of the glory 72nd brigade and performed combat missions in the donetsk and luhansk regions. according to his wife, it was a test for her, but the real shock was when in may 2022... he transferred to a mechanized battalion, where he took the position of a service number, however, the family found out about this when he had already left for ground zero, there was artillery shelling, and then

after the artillery shelling, tanks came at them, the position was shelled by tanks, and which of the boys survived, they were shot, but oh well those with a mutilated body, with fragments, then more... that he died immediately at the position, 10 have already been buried, the guys found their bodies, and 15 of them are still missing for a year and a half. the artillery bombardment took place on october 29, 2022, and already on november 3, the woman received a notification that that the loved one is considered missing, disappeared. after that, she knocked on the doors of all state structures. the police, the prosecutor's office, the national information bureau, the sbu and... the coordination headquarters, but nowhere did they give a clear answer, as it became known later, mykola's body was with the russians and during the next exchange it got to the homeland, for some time

it lay unrecognized, however, thanks to dna tests, it was possible to identify him, already on july 8, 2023, chatnyuk was taken to the last road. he helped a lot both in killing and in support. and in education he is very great participated, loved to cook with my daughter, after the funeral, my son came into the house and saw his portrait, he shouted very loudly, he still asks why dad is not at home, when we go to the cemetery, i try not to take him, he digs the ground , to get him out of there, he doesn't understand now what everyone has, he doesn't have a dad, the man had a beard, as his friend lidia recalls, his smile will be remembered. the woman shows the graduation photo album and says that although he has changed outwardly, his kindness
