mr. viktor, look, but if you take the whole of this eastern zone, the most, after all, such a threatening situation, after all , the pokrovsky direction, as i understand it, certainly yes, and it is precisely the development of events in the pokrovsky direction that threatens the most consequences, as i understand it, if speaking more broadly along the front, yes, in the pokrov direction, the enemy has achieved a tactical... success and has the strength and means to turn this tactical success into an operational one, the enemy has about 6 km left to cut logistic the routes of the defense forces defending in this area, in turn, this development of events will allow the enemy to create unfavorable conditions for further defense in the same turkey. direction, we will be forced

to retreat to the line of sloviansk, kramatorsk, druzhkivka, kostiantynivka, pokrovsk, and this is a completely undesirable development of events for us, because we are losing control over serious territories, which we will then have to vacate, so maintaining the situation in pokrovsk direction is probably the most important task in the east of ukraine today. but no we should forget about the direction of urahivsk, where the enemy intends, at least until the middle of next month, to wedge into our battle formations and cover at least from one flank the tactical group defending ugledar. this is also happening as part of the capture of the donetsk region, and the enemy will make certain efforts in the kurakhiv direction as well. there is an opinion that the activity of the enemy in

the vremivsk direction, where he is fighting in the staromayorsky district, is a kind of smoke screen, under which the formation of a shock groups in the section from staromayorsky to ugledar. so far, i have not come across any data in open sources that this is how events unfold, but it is quite probable, let's say. well, then tell me about the direction of kharkiv, because there is such information that after they have made this method, they will seize it from a raid, go to liptsi there, advance further there, and most likely after all, they probably intended to help themselves get closer to kupyansk in this way, but now we are talking about the fact that the troops are again concentrating in the belgorod region and does this mean that...

there will now be an attempt to somehow make another round in this direction, the story with kupinsk, this was one of the options for the development of the event, because from vovchansk to kupinsk the enemy it was necessary to go through our battle formations about 80 km, well, quite a lot, taking into account the fact that in a month he passed about six, well, i guess we will return to this conversation in 2026, as by then they will not be at all. crushed and will cease to exist as our neighbors at all, all that is happening in the kharkiv direction, this is an auxiliary operation, the purpose of which is to force the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to introduce his strategic reserves in this direction and thereby facilitate the execution of tasks in the east of ukraine, the capture of the donetsk region. accordingly, general syrsky does not go for it, reserves are introduced very sparingly, mainly this... the distribution of operational reserves,

the enemy has not achieved anything in the kharkiv direction, moreover, the enemy's 25th motorized rifle brigade is withdrawn from the kharkiv region due to a complete loss of combat capability, the neo-nazi group rusich, known for its anti-ukrainian sentiments, which is directly related to the torture and execution of ukrainian prisoners, is surrounded at... the vovchanska aggregate plant . ukraine's threat to those surrounded at the aggregate plant is the armed forces of russia, which will not allow the surrender of a group of approximately 400 people, most likely, they will simply destroy them, so the enemy fears this development more than the that they will fall into... ukrainian captivity and

will be brought to court for war crimes that do not have a statute of limitations, well, yes, the arrival of one cabal in principle solves the problem, one will not be killed there, considering that... that in the last seven days after the notification of the general staff, in fact, every day we can read about the fact that the defense forces successfully counterattacked near hlyboky, near lyptsi, directly in vovchansk, events are developing as they should, and i think that in two weeks it is worth talking about the fact that the enemy withdraws to its national territory of the belgorod region, that is, about these 10,000, you somehow think that these are not very realistic conversations, right? it's not just unrealistic, it's not about anything, with such a potential that the newly formed 14th army corps, 44th army corps, which was transferred there from karelia, has such potential there, you can stand on the border and scare some imaginary the military strength

of the border service of ukraine, no more, they did not manage to fight, those groups that are currently forming there, by the way... in general budanov's reports, his public statements do not show that anything is forming, although today the press service of the kharkiv operational-tactical group of troops reported the appearance of a new ninth separate motorized rifle brigade from the 51st combined arms army in this direction, no there are no confirmations yet, but there is an opinion that it is being thrown from somewhere beyond the urals. re-formed army, so far it's more of a rumor, although apparently an official official spoke about it. the ninth motorized rifle brigade is a brigade of donetsk separatists, why there were two of them, or one and the same,

so far it is not possible to understand, but under any conditions, the appearance of a new brigade in the kharkiv direction indicates that the old brigades have actually ended there, well... everything is fine, but you know, well, after all, it was clear that this year ukraine will be on the defensive, but from what we are saying now, there is danger for pokrovsk, danger there for tempsovoy yar, that is, i would say yes, is there you have some, well, i don't know, optimism about the fact that, after all, our provision of troops, equipping the troops, will allow us to hold... at least on these lines that we are currently holding, how much and what actually needs to be done for this to hold on to these lines, but if we start acting in the format of order 227 of the 42nd year, not a step back, we will lose not

only the troops, but also the whole of ukraine, that is why it was correctly stated to the previous commanders-in-chief of active mobile defense, we must lose those... in order to preserve troops that are experienced, that have been conducting combat operations for two years, that thanks to allies receive the necessary military and technical equipment help, but to solve the problem of staffing the troops, so far the system of staffing the defense forces is succeeding, well, not too well, so all the commanders who realize that they will not have other fighters, at least in the near future. are making efforts to protect their personnel, so we have to choose between retreating and saving people, or dying and still retreating, so, unfortunately, in this choice, in my opinion, the first decision

is much better than the second, well, summing up our conversation, we need to cook good, let's say, defensive lines, somewhere a little behind the backs of this one. the defense that we have now, yes, that is, yes, i hope that they are there, they can be improved, the engineering support of the operation has no limits to perfection, it is a lifelong process, but also the formation of strategic reserves, somewhere deep in the rear, and maybe even on the territory of our allies, this is probably a much more important task, and probably also the formation of some strategic reserves of weapons, of which there should be more, frankly. we have a little time is running out with you, unfortunately, we can talk for a very long time, there are still many questions. thank you for joining us, it was viktor kvilyuyuk, military expert of the center for defense strategies of ukraine, colonel of the armed forces reserve. now we have to go to a break, after that we

will be joined by kyrylo sazonov, who will tell us directly from the line of battle what is happening. events, happenings right now and impact. our life, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, you need to understand: antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events. analyze them, modeling our future, every saturday at 1:10 p.m., with a repeat on sunday at 10:10 a.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. vasyl zema's big broadcast. my name is vasyl zema, this is a big broadcast on the espresso tv channel. two hours of airtime, two hours of your time. my colleagues and i will talk about the most important thing, for two hours, to learn about the war, about the military, front, component, serhii zgurets. it's time to talk about what happened outside of ukraine. yury, good evening, two

hours to keep up with economic news. time to talk about money during the war, oleksandr morchavka next to me and sports news. i invite yevhen pastukhov to the conversation. two hours in the company of your favorite presenters. about cultural news, alena chekchenina, our art watcher, is ready to tell, good evening, presenters that have become familiar to many. already next to me, ready to talk about the weather for this weekend, as well as distinguished guests of the studio. mustafa dzhemilov, crimean leader. the tatar people are in touch with us, sir mustafa, i congratulate you, good day, the events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. we are returning, these are chronicles of information, chronicles of war, excuse me, kyrylo sazonu, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, who is in the direction of chasivoy yar, is joining us, congratulations. kirill, congratulations, mrs. olga, i am very glad to see you, i miss you very much, i am also glad

to see that you are doing well, well, actually , i want to describe the situation in a descriptive way , to find out, because usually lately about the time so much, i would say, so they say that they are trying to storm, but the positions there have not been lost, it was not possible to advance and so on, but still, i would like to know... in more detail, where they are trying, what they are trying, where the fighting is going on, and what is actually happening in your direction, olya, the fact that in luhansk subortytsia and the general staff report that there are constant assaults, and we are holding our positions, this is the pure truth, maybe not everyone understands what is being planned and covered according to these dry summaries, 11 assaults are ongoing, six have been repulsed, and five are ongoing now, it means that we don't have here... not a minute of peace, not a minute, they are constantly storming, that is, now, when you are told

that since the beginning of the day, for example, there have been 11 storms or 17, out of 17 of them, 11 repulsed, which means that right now there are battles going on at five or six points on ivankivskyi, kolinov, and three assault attempts are currently underway in yar times, that's how it's happening, and for a week now, there's been a constant battle in some place, there was no even half an hour more, when i could write to that... you in a telegram, what now there is shelling, there are no assaults, we wait, we hide, no, they are always crawling somewhere, somewhere, sometimes such a massive assault, mechanized, sometimes in small groups, they work in pairs quite harmoniously, that is, four to six people, a group, two or three pairs, advancing, so imperceptibly, trying to enter the city, to gain a foothold somewhere, so that reinforcements would come, and this continues constantly both here and in toretsk, the assaults are constant. it is not so easy, because , for example, my friends, twins from bakhmut

from last year, mowgli and the white one, are now in the hospital, they took him yesterday, or the day before yesterday they already had five holes, but he feels pretty good, he is already on the mend, he is already joking, they signed off today, this is our price, they also pay for their assaults and pay a lot, because when they are storming, they have not yet reached our positions in the affected area, but behind our 41st brigade. our mortars, thunderbolts, our drones, very well minus the personnel and equipment, that is, according to these summaries, the assaults continue, and we hold our positions, and our losses, and very large enemy losses, it seems, they opened it recently in the turkish direction, but i understand that it had to happen, because they still could not take it at the time, it is difficult for them to take pokrovsk, to wait for the evening assembly, because i only have such. .. such half-rumors from our guys are not bad from karlivka, and toretsk is between chasivyar and

the pokrovsky direction itself, well, it was very logical for them to start here about an attempt to advance and a little to undermine the threat of our counterattack from horlivka, because it is generally nearby , but toretsk is also ours, too it is holding on, it is hard, they are throwing cabs all the time, and they are throwing them at us and behind our backs at the cities of measure. on kostiantynivka, on pokrovsk, on slovyansk, kramatorsk, druzhkivka, rockets are being thrown from airplanes, hailstones are working, and, unfortunately, thermo is also working. thermoballic weapons, then the sundial, pinocchio, ours also respond, arta is working well , our guns are working well, i already said, our mortars, that is, we are working, working, holding on, ukrainian chasivyar, ukrainian turkish, they do not give up on the ukrainian donbass, to your wounded comrades, i think we all want to recover as soon as possible, and how

best to rehabilitate ourselves so that we are healthy and full of strength. of course, i would very much like everything to be in order with them, tell me, kirill, but do you feel a change, well, for example, in equipment, did some replenishment of weapons arrive, how do you feel about it now, are we still relying more for the fab, for these fp drones, for some such things, well, that is, are there really more weapons now in the condition. shortage of shells and missiles, of course, fpivishki, drones and drones with drops have become our main force that strikes the enemy, they say it reached 80%, but such questions as statistics by direction, by its operational command of any kind or at all on the front, such statistics can only be given by its general staff or the leadership

of the direction, i i don't have such statistics regarding shells and missiles, i know very, very... little and can say very little, because how many will you have, how many shells and mines do you have now, how many will there be tomorrow, how many will your neighbor have, this a secret even from their own, because it well, the main thing that the enemy wants to know is how much bc we have, when, how they will transport it, and where we store it, of course it has become easier than in march, than in winter, but we are still waiting, we are waiting, that there will be much more, we are waiting two things, waiting for us to have more shells and... mines to destroy the enemy in the area of ​​impact, so that they can't even get close to our positions, to destroy their logistics, and waiting for planes to shoot them down, their planes, who throw cabs, because it is almost impossible to shoot down a cab, when it is thrown from the plane, they throw them somewhere over donetsk, they are already flying to konstakha, well, you have already mentioned a little about such tactics of the enemy, when they

try to break through there twice, twice, three times, what kind of tactics are they, how effective are they in general. how do you evaluate it, this is a normal special forces tactic in any country, and here in great britain and in the united states, one covers, one advances, then another suppresses fire, advances, the second, well, this is a normal tactic, and a what they thus achieve, they thus attempt some to seize such a position there, i don’t know, one side, to seize a position, to advance to ours, to our zone of responsibility, because if armored vehicles with personnel are coming, of course we will... destroy them, and we see them when they are one by one , they break through two by two, well , arta will not work with expensive projectiles for two people, it’s already a job for our infantry, for our stormtroopers or for drones, here they advanced into the canal neighborhood, a group of four people, two couples climbed up, hung a russian flag recently, mined

they ran away, well, i don't know if they ran away or not, because it wasn't because of us, but we didn't fall for it, because it's not the first time. the drone also blew up the block and the explosives that they planted, well, that's good, but you know, you probably also saw this epic video, when the russians are driving in a buggy in the ocheretino region, and on the road they are driving, they literally counted 60 units of battered russian equipment, that is, a mass of battered russian equipment, and on the other hand, i understand that, nevertheless, they have less equipment, well... still enough for that assault to storming is not enough, but here and near chasik there is a lot of destroyed enemy equipment on the road from chasik to bakhmut, the main route to kalinovo and the bakhmut kostantinivka highway, i can’t remember the numbers even now official summaries, because there is a lot of equipment, and trucks, and

trucks, and buggies and motorcycles, here they are from a motorcycle. they boiled everything possible on it, such a monster is also like a tank, what do they call it, a brazier or a shed, in different ways, a lot of equipment was destroyed, there is quite a rare one here prey, it's a tulip, recently hit, it's a 240-mm mortar, that is, imagine, if a 155- or 152-mm caliber projectile causes a lot of damage, then a 240-mm mortar is self-propelled. one was knocked out near ivankivskyi, the other was also knocked out earlier on june 6, here are two tulips for putin on russia day, we gave boris glebsk-2 as a gift, it is very important that they knocked out how many tanks they rolled. hey, i don't even count, but all this armor performs a simple function, how to quickly cover the affected area under our fire, to

advance to our positions, to land landing party, well, the use of these very buggies and motorcycles, how effective it is, how successful a tactic it is, the faster you move, the more chances you have to stay alive and reach either the position or get out of it, we also use and ... motorcycles and even bicycles, well, on a motorcycle, for example, you can break away from a fpv in a green lane, you enter a green lane, he does not see you, or moves down, you are quite fast and can pass where a car cannot, when you you drive a car, a drone follows you, then it's yours the only hope is that it will fall somewhere nearby, that is, it turns out that, in principle , it is not so easy to track this particular motorcycle, even from an fp drone or from another. tracking is one thing, he still needs to be hit, well, he even shoots there and he sees that someone is advancing, but the half-foot has to catch up and hit, and in zelenka, when

you ride a motorcycle on a trade wind, it’s not so easy, they broke away yes, guys, it’s interesting, well, it means that we need to adopt, well, the best practices, what can i say, if this is, well... a good option, then maybe it’s worth it somehow this is how our troops are supplied with a war of smart guys, this is a war no longer with machine guns, not with breakfasts, not with mortars, a war of drones and ours and the enemy’s drones, a war of the slaves of our and the enemy’s radio electronic warfare, this is already such an intellectual war, a technological war, when all the time the guys are inventing something, inventing something, how to destroy the enemy, how to knock his drones off course, how to land them, and they also work. unfortunately, from all directions of russia, they were developing some kind of military weapon there, it was the slaves, it was the means of radio-electronic warfare that they had

ready as best, here is the direction where they prepared for the war quite well, it was difficult for us from the very beginning, but they did not count on our drones in such a number, for example, the first wave, the 22nd year, the beginning of the war, byraktars destroyed whole columns the enemy, uh, eh... then there is another question a little more, you already mentioned a little about toretsk, tell me how threatening, actually for the temporal yar, this is an attempt to attack turetsk, how much for the grouping of our chasovoyar troops, this direction is such well, flanking, threatening, this is very bad for us at the time and for, well, that is, my guys from the 41st brigade, they are now defending chasivyar and turkey, our guys. returned from there, it is bad for everyone, because they enter, if they take toretsk, it is 20 km to kostiantynka, there is a straight road nearby, if

they move further from toretsk to kostiantynivka, this is a threat to the flank in the pokrovsky direction, where ours is probably the most difficult, well, the most difficult situation at the front now is the pokrovsky direction, they enter the flank, they enter almost into ours the rear, if it goes to constantine. then we have to stop at turecki without options, uh, well, and then tell us a little about turecki this direction, since your brigade is standing there, what happened there in the end, how do you think, why were these positions lost in the noise , there still nearby, when there were no positions at all, then they dispersed a little, the positions there have not changed since the 14th year. when the troops were disbanded, the first agreements, i think, were minsk agreements, then the guys who are fighting here and fought here in the 14th year, they they are quite sorry, because they say that then, if

there was a team, they would have liberated the city of horlivka, because the guys were also standing on the red partisan, then nearby pantilimonivka, horlivka, the exit to the center, and another group stormed, was ready to go on an assault and enough successfully terrorized the orcs from the turetsk side , precisely because this is toretsk, and here are the districts of horlivka, and the besarapka golma settlement is also a district of the city of horlivka, and that is, pressing from one side, they had the opportunity to open the way for the boys from the south from pantelimonivtsi, and the enemy there was one brigade they have a base in barotsli cafe very popular in the city of horlivka, that is, these positions did not change in the 14th year, there was no noise, everything is there, a pile of bricks has been there for many years, there is no position of anything, yes. there is no settlement, forget it, nothing was lost there, it was a gray zone, which was a gray zone, was called, had the right to be called, as long as there were no active hostilities, as long as there was a skirmish line, now it

was our bridgehead, yes. unfortunately, this is no longer our bridgehead, now they are storming both the north and the south, and are trying to advance everywhere, they pulled a rather large staff there, but, but this is all they can do, while they are pressing, somewhere we are losing positions, well, somewhere we have lost, somewhere we have been repulsed, and it is so difficult to say something about them so far, well, that means promotion, well, there is no such thing, but it changes promptly, unfortunately, unfortunately, we have to. time has completely run out to end, kyrylo, say hello to lyutsyk erem, thank you for joining our broadcast, kyrylo sazonov, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, we will meet with you in a week.

marines are the elite of the armed forces of ukraine. these guys perform tasks in the air, on land and at sea. with their participation, it was possible to hold the line of confrontation and defense in the mariupol and shirokyny area. the units of the marines carried out combat tasks for the protection and defense of zmiiny island in the waters of the black sea. the marine corps has the most modern weapons and military equipment. satisfies 100% personal protective equipment, i.e. bulletproof vest, helmet, tactical glasses, protective equipment for legs, hands, elbows, knees, all this, plus intensive training, which allows to increase the probability of use under time of battle, and the marines, we position ourselves as a big family, to join the ranks of the marines is an ambitious and not

very ambitious thing. simple: a warrior of the three elements, a person under the age of 45 with proper physical and psychological training, nowadays, like all units of the defense forces, the marine corps encourages boys and girls to join the defense of the country, it is as clear and comfortable as possible. everything that exists in civilian life can be applied in a military specialty. completing and recruiting centers - places, where they will help you the vacancy will be explained what needs to be done and accompanied until arrival at the part. recruiting is a safe way to choose your place in the army and join the defense of the country on clear terms. after we have found a position for a person, by profession, by knowledge, by desire, after that we issue a letter of recommendation. this, this person with a letter of recommendation comes to the central committee of the tsp. and draws up a personal

file, after that, if we are talking about a contract, that is, the main thing is that we, what we do, after that the person collects necessary documents, vlk passes, the command says that recruiting is taking place actively, but not as much as expected. vacancies for uav operators, engineers, and mechanics are overwhelming favorites. if it was before, for example, it is necessary. there are more shooters, grenade launchers and so on, now these are more intellectual positions and technical positions, that is, it is not necessary for people to control the half-bucket, we need people who will configure these drones. the advantage of recruiting is the opportunity to choose a position. in the marines emphasize that all civilian professions can be effectively applied in the army. it is not

necessary that the cook will be the shooter. a cook will be a cook with us, an aitishnik will be an aitishnik, and the same signalman, if he has worked at ukrtelecom all his life, then we will find him a use in communications. i come from odesa, i grew up in odesa, the sea, this is the marines, i think i need to come here. nikita is a master of law, his brother is also a marine , so he did not hesitate for a long time to choose a unit, but he is still thinking about the position. soon we had a new law on mobilization, but i understood that it is necessary to think about something, to decide something, but my brother is older, he serves in the marine corps. i want to save our country from the enemy. and this is volodymyr, he is 43 years old, he already knows that he will work as a uav operator. in general, the whole.
