thank you for being with us today. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. let's start our conversation, mr. major, with the situation in kurshchyna, because today the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine reported to president zelensky about new advances in some directions in kurshchyna from one to 3 km. let's listen to what oleksandr syrskyi said, the troops of the offensive occupy continue to fight, they are pressing in some directions from one to three km in the direction of the enemy, fighting continues near the front line, in general the situation is under control, all measures are carried out according to plan, at the moment fighting is going on in area of ​​malachia, i hope there will be a lot of spoils. mr. mayor, how do you assess

kursk with the special operation, i wanted to say, the kurdish operation, and let's talk about that. what is the strategy of the actual ukrainian leadership, military leadership in this operation? well, let's be honest , to date , no one knows the strategic intention of the commander in the context of this operation, and thank god that no one knows, i can't call it another way, because you can comment only when you have complete information i have information about my own strength and means, and of course regarding the forces and means of the adversaries, e. what is the ultimate goal? well, we can only guess there that the ultimate goal is to exhaust the russian occupation forces on the territory of ukraine as much as possible, so that the russians start transferring them to protect purshchyna or belgorod region and so on. this is one element we would like to see. to date, we have only seen

the withdrawal of russian troops from certain areas of the kharkiv direction, namely near vovch. moreover, it is not very big, big, big they removed the team somewhere close to the battalion, this is according to the information that is confirmed, i don’t know the others yet, maybe there are some additional data, but nevertheless there are certain successes, as far as the exchange fund is concerned, well, there are colossal successes, he you are just showing a picture where the russians are surrendering, and in principle, in addition to the capture of russian prisoners, we see, well, let's say, that the morale, including the armed forces of ukraine, has risen very seriously. some people are starting now, you know, er, to play the pobedabesiya theme, what here is kurshchyna-kurshchyna, but for some reason the topic of the pokrovsky direction disappears from the sources of the mass media, and we see that a very serious tragedy is seriously unfolding there, but nevertheless, the transfer of the war

to the territory of the enemy, this is an unequivocally positive moment, and we everyone said that. this time, these years, let's put it this way, if the russians do not suffer in this history and there is no war on their territory, then ukraine will be destroyed, and we will not last this way for a long time, especially since the small soviet army will never defeat a big soviet army so we have to change our approaches and as for the kurdish operation i am positive because i have always said maneuver warfare and guerilla is our everything considering that we are a smaller army like be that as it may, but... the tactical front is death for us, well, in principle, we see that the russians, having a total advantage in artillery and aviation, in fact with a static front, well, they are causing us quite serious problems, and this is confirmed there is donbas, where the hottest battles are currently taking place, of course i am not only donbas, there is the kharkiv region, and we know that

the russians are advancing in the direction of kupyansk, and we know about the situation that is happening in other areas. in zaporozhye, but nevertheless, where there is a static front, it is much easier for the russians, because they have a lot of meat, they have a lot of artillery and aviation and cabs. as for other points related to the kurdish operation, i want to say, well, first of all, we moved away all the red lines of putin, including, and we must give credit, that the western partners also erased some of the brown lines of their fear and... stopped shouting about "god forbid", under no circumstances can this be done and so on, they supported us, there are statements from western partners, the united states, germany, by the way, they said that... what about tanks the leopard should be given to ukraine, you see how they are working well here in the kurdish direction, then we see the statements of the netherlands, which said that we handed over the f-16, and where ukraine will fly them,

well, we are not interested in that, that is, we see that in the principle has a lot of positive statements, so unfortunately we have not yet overcome the fear western partners in the context of stormshadow on the territory of russia, i am talking about britain, we did not stop the germans from giving us taurus missiles at all. even now we are not talking about the territory of russia, although we could work on other regions that are occupied, in particular crimea, we also did not break through the situation with attacks in the united states, but these are still the first swallows, when after all the world unanimously supports actions of ukraine and recognizes the legality of these actions, and this is the most important thing, in accordance with the norms of international law, we have the right to this, and this again, we are not breaking any rules. of international humanitarian law, many ukrainians like it or not, but we give the opportunity to evacuate the residents, civilian residents who

supported putin and the svo and so on, we give them the opportunity to evacuate, we provide humanitarian aid, we bring a humanitarian woman and so on, so here we can be accused of being bad, as they say, russian propaganda will never be able to defame the honor of our soldiers with the help of its manipulations. and their so-called war cows and strays, of course he won’t be able to, and these are already positive things, the kursk operation brought a lot of positive things in this context, well, from the point of view of an already ordinary combatant, i can say that recently somewhere there, soldiers wrote that they had a bridge blown up, why it broke, i don’t know , probably some good people blew it up, of course i’m terrified, but the blowing up of this bridge still has several crossings there that need to be destroyed, and in fact around 700 russians are surrounded there, not only cut off... but taken away from replenishment and so on, and that's it a good story, again, of the success of this kurdish work, that is, they approached creatively,

maneuverably, well, there is no need to hold back, yes, by the way, here are the shots you show, which were, this, this is in the glushkov area, this is on the other side of the border, yes exactly, exactly, here we are, well, the most important thing, we don’t need to, we need to turn back all the time, maintain our logical paths, so that the... forces and means that we, we entered the kurtsk region, so that they do not end up cut off, because remember, the deeper the russians went into ukraine, the more our partisan could to destroy their logistics routes, and we need to understand that this war is a war of logistics, who won logistics, well, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine says that over the last day the most battles were in the pokrovsky direction of here the russian army stormed the positions of the ukrainian military 41 times, the army also approached pokrovsk, the city of donetsk

region, almost 10 km there, some say, some say 6 km and the outskirts of the city, and now the administration, the local administration of pokrovsk is urging residents to leave the city, in addition, battles in the turkish direction are recorded. and there are attacks by occupation troops in the districts of krasnohorivka, georgiivka, paraskoivka, and kostyantynivka. in the bakhmutsky and lymansky directions, ukrainian defenders also write that the russians are attacking, and a noticeable decrease in the intensity of enemy assaults has not yet been recorded, and this was stated in an interview with espresso by an officer of the planning section. gadi rubizh dmytro kozhubenko, let's listen to what dmytro kozhubenko said, in the defense area of ​​the rubizh brigade, unfortunately, there is currently no such noticeable outflow

of the enemy, but they both advanced, well, as they carried out their assault actions, they continue to carry them out, the only thing is that relatively recently the enemy changed the tactics of assaults, now they are there... they made the assaults smaller, but this is not connected with the fact that that our troops began active combat operations in the area of ​​the kursk region, not before the federation. mr. major, after what is happening and has happened in the kursk region, the offensive operation of the armed forces of ukraine has been going on for the 11th day, how do you assess the potential of the russian army, in terms of maneuverability, in terms of how quickly they... can make decisions about how they can defend themselves, because it is absolutely obvious that they were not prepared for such a development of events, and why were they not actually prepared for such a development of events, did they

not think that ukraine.. . the army will never come to their land, well , your last sentence just says that they thought that the fear lines of the western partners would not allow the ukrainian army to ride on the territory of russia on leopards. thank god that we broke this stereotype. as for ready or not ready? well, in general, in the north of our country, the russians have concentrated about 70,000 according to some estimates. personnel analysts, 50 of them are involved, let's say, in the vovchan direction, well, i'm just saying now with reserves, together with everything that they have accumulated there, and they still have 10 in belgorod region and kurshchyna, well, in fact they have quite a lot of personnel there somewhere, but mainly there were conscripts, if we are talking about the fursk direction and of course the fighting spirit of the soldiers who

saw that... and the akmat is tea, not force, of course, was greatly undermined, plus there was an absolute lack of information in the media, no one publicized the upcoming counteroffensive, yermak's office was silent , and the information did not go beyond, as they say, planning, and it was precisely this that gave us the opportunity, this suddenness, unexpectedness gave us the opportunity to achieve such results, well , i can say this, as regards the russian... capabilities and so on, listen , let's not forget, the russian army remains second the army of the world, it has, if i'm not mistaken, there in the armed forces, in addition to those currently concentrated in our territory, it still has a very serious number of personnel, they are now true, false, in fact all conscripts are starting to sign contracts, well because you remember this story with the conscripts, with the boys there in panties and so on, but of course the conscripts don't know that. what are active

hostilities, and this hooray, their victory frenzy, as they say, has not been fixed in their heads, as gastelo said, they do not direct their cars on enemy columns and don't blow themselves up with grenades, because they saw all this in books, but when you have to do something yourself, it's not like shouting at rallies, we russians here seyachs will tear everyone, that's it, second moment, everything - be that as it may, the russians still have very serious defensive lines, we have seen these video frames. defense line in kurshchyna, the fact that we broke through them is again an element, let's say so, of suddenness and thank god and our skill, but you look at those shots, listen, well, the defense line zelenskyi and yarmak, it is not even half as much, a quarter as much as the fortifications built by the russians , including in the kursk province, let's say, now you have rightly reminded that pokrovsk and mirnograd, well, let's be frank,

pokrovsk is less 13 km to... mirnograd five, less than five, uh, about 100 thousand civilians are currently being evacuated, but very slowly, there are 20 thousand civilians in mirnograd, i don't know when they will evacuate them, distances actually, the distance the work of the barrel artillery does not allow us to do it without problems, without problems for them, but with problems for us, and exactly what was dragged to the last one, i cannot understand, just as i cannot understand the statements of mrs. vereshchuk regarding the evacuation. and peaceful residents of kurshchyna on the territory of sumy oblast, well, this is just some trash, for me, it is not unacceptable, no, to make humanitarian corridors, of course, but not sumyshchyna, as you can imagine, well, yesterday they sent tanks to us , and today we will settle their peaceful inhabitants where, in which houses, near sumchan, well, this is some, well, this is some trash, but as for the russian army in general, it is still quite strong, they have a lot of power

and means, so they are scattered now. they have to respond to these challenges, but i emphasize once again, i have no information that they will transfer their forces from the donetsk direction, our mirnograd city council is purchasing dragon's teeth with a delivery date of december 31, attention of the 24th year, in they are 4 km to the front, and in them, they make orders for defense structures with a deadline of december. i'm sorry for the harshness of these words, well, i can't name them in another way, this is the most important thing to pay attention to, that is, there is a stupid embezzlement of money, about how much is there, in total there are 17 and somewhere around 40 million uah for defense structures myrnograd, what were you thinking all this time, when avdiyivka was still holding, zelensky's line of defense on ocheretino, how long did they hold out, what were they building there, that's how they were building, that's how it was...
