this is the expansion along the flanks of the presence zone, that is, the creation of a buffer zone, call it a sanitary zone, a security zone, as you like, but currently the width of this security zone is 40 km, at the beginning it was 10 km, this is again in accordance with the operational nature of the successes of the armed forces of ukraine, and the main thing we have to talk about. and to speak out loud. the russian side is currently forced to withdraw its own operational reserves to create tactical groups bryansk and belgrade, to cover areas of russian ukrainian border, that is, these units of the regular troops of the russian army will not go to ukraine, but , accordingly, will currently perform the functions of cover forces. this is again the success of the defense forces. of ukraine, and it is worth noting

that at the last meeting with the security forces and governors of the border regions of russia, the dictator stated that the governor of the bryansk region should be ready to repeat the scenario of the kurdish region, that is, if this is announced at the highest official level, then accordingly it is already certain sentiments of the highest military and political the leadership of the russian federation, well , the most important thing is that we have to understand, according to the data... of the russian side, they approach it more realistically with regard to the further plans of the defense forces of ukraine and the possibility, accordingly , of the russian side to liberate, as they call these territories, that's what they call the period from six months to a year, the war will continue throughout this period, i emphasize once again that on the territory of the russian federation, what is currently

happening in the kursk region from... the location of units of the armed forces of the russian federation, and in fact approximately 3,000 personnel of the russian troops found themselves in an operational environment, and the transfer of reserves of bc transportation, the removal of the wounded is possible only by ferry crossings. or , accordingly, it is a non-floating means, taking into account the fact that the pontoon crossing was covered by khaimar with a cluster warhead, we can talk about the fact that the russians invested, will have to overcome this natural water obstacle, and the defense forces of ukraine actually received the line defense, natural, which will be quite problematic for the russians to overcome, and most importantly, the permanent character continues. the advance

of the defense forces of ukraine in the kurdish direction, that is worth talking about, that is, despite all the efforts of the russian side, there is no way to stop the advance. one more point, we will refute the information, there is no redeployment directly from the line of combat confrontation in ukraine, that is, it is said that the russians are not transferring units to the kurdish direction, it is not true, the 810th brigade was removed from the pokrovsky direction of sea... infantry city of permanent deployment sevastopol transferred to the kursk direction from the kurakhiv direction from krasnogoriyka one of the most combat-capable brigades of the so-called first army corps was withdrawn the fifth brigade in the kurdish direction from the kramatorsk direction since the time of yar the first assault squad of the former wagner pvk was withdrawn, at the moment, this volunteer corps under the command of ratibor was transferred to the kurdish direction and the situation was dire

by the special unit of the akhmat regiment, but it is not the kadyrivtsi, it is the special unit of the ait, which formed from representatives of the slavic nationality, 80% of the personnel, i.e. the most capable units. in addition, it spills over from the rear regions of the russian federation. currently, units of the so-called siberian divisions, combat buryats have been established in the kurdistan region according to our baltic units. friends, the russian army is forced to redeploy units even from the kaliningrad region, and this is evidence that the operational reserves of the russian army are insufficient, and it is quite telling that in the kharkiv direction, according to the analytical department of the public initiative of the right , against the background of the events taking place in the kursk region, units of the 116th russian special forces brigade appeared. guards, that is, it is not

the russian armed forces, that is, they are already starting to use the internal troops, everything, everything that is, mr. serhiy, but look, here you are... you were talking about the pokrovsky direction and what from the pokrovsky direction, the russians are also transferring troops to the kursk direction, but still the russians are advancing in the direction of pokrovsk, and how realistic is it that the russians will be able to take control of pokrovsk in some perspective, because it turns out that pokrovsk is the key to the road to the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, well, this is according to data from... economists who wrote today about the collapse of the situation on this part of the front . let's refute this information as well, there is no collapse. the tactical advance of the russians was made possible by several factors, several, i apologize, at the same time. the first is the landscape of the area, the plain. to gain a foothold on the plain

of the defense forces of ukraine, in the absence engineering and fortification structures, the shmygal line, the umerova line, whatever you want to call it. you can’t actually not in the open field under the constant strikes of the fap of the russian attack aircraft and, accordingly, the advantage in the means of defeat is a ratio of 3:1, respectively, as soon as we move to the urban development, and we are already in fact fighting, the towns-novorodivka, the pace of the advance of the russian occupiers will decrease several times, i explain why, because battles, for example, during the yar period, last six months and longer than the advance in the district. there is no novy district. in krasnohorivka, which i mentioned, they have been storming for eight months, eight. and 30% of the city is still controlled by the armed forces of ukraine. let's remember how many bahmuds they stormed? nine months. but let's be realistic. the russians have a numerical advantage in

manpower. and accordingly, unfortunately, the means of defeat and total superiority in the air. this creates prerequisites. but to say that they are a downfall, they are. they will take pokrovsk, but pokrovsk is still 10 km away, and the average monthly pace of the russian advance is 3.5 km. the only thing, mr. serhiy, and the dear lady of the city audience, we need to sound the alarm. 60,000 civilians remained in pokrovsk. you know, only after i appeared on the central tv channels, in particular the live tv channel, and announced that 5,000 children of pokrovsk, why don't you evacuate paskuda. the head of the donetsk military-civilian administration, filashkin, comes out the next day, the 20th, and says that we are starting to evacuate children. what did you do before that? mr. serhiy, i am currently receiving a video from pokrovsk local authorities engaged in road surfacing, applying

markings, 10 km to the battle line, which markings, in myrnograd, this is the same direction. the city military-civilian administration, imagine 5 km from the city they ordered dragon's teeth for uah 33 million, and you know the deadline, which is the month of january, and you remember how the kharkiv troops and the civil administration explained why there are no lines of defense, that's why that we can't build them under the fire of the russian occupiers, that's what they said about the second and third lines of defense, here 5 km to the city, and they order the teeth of... the dragon in the zone of damage of mortars, not to mention barrel artillery, this should, should i, be done by the security service of ukraine, purchased other dbry, 33 million, road markings, roses are planted in pokrovsk, which roses, is the city

preparing for defense or not, and why is filashkin still in office, when i list all these factors, the cities are not... ready for evacuation, absolutely, the children remain, the future of ukraine is not a parachute, mr. dmytro, can you explain what else is happening in kharkiv oblast, so that there was information that the third separate assault brigade of the ground forces of the ukrainian armed forces, announced that it had conducted a counterattack operation in the territory of the kharkiv region and advanced deep into the front for... almost 2 km, according to the commander of the brigade colonel biletsky, the ratio of forces on the battlefield was 2.5 to one, the main task of the operation , as biletskyi says, was to knock down the offensive potential of the 20th army of the russian federation, at this

moment, well, when he was writing this message, this task was accomplished, the uniqueness of the operation is that we attacked the overwhelming enemy and won again, the same tactics that were used in the kurt region, an unexpected strike and , accordingly, already a tactical level of advance up to 2 km, they took, respectively, battalion strongholds, this is ... a serious success , it is worth saying that thanks to these actions and, accordingly, the actions of other units of the defense forces of ukraine, currently gradually, but the tactical initiative in the kharkiv direction passes to the defense forces of ukraine, these events are said to be related to the kurdish direction and the kharkiv war, respectively, and this is what the commanders of the third separate assault brigade, heavy fighting in vovchansk itself, the occupiers aim to reach the vovcha river, fighting. in the area of ​​high-rise buildings, he is trying

to penetrate the defense of our defenders at the expense of special units of the russian guard, respectively special operations, unsuccessfully, we are holding the line of defense, moreover, we are successfully counterattacking, which is quite vividly illustrated in your videos and, accordingly, in the statements of biletskyi, i.e. we can say that gradually. but the situation in the kharkiv direction is normalizing and the main thing, dear audience, the depth of advance in 3 months of hostilities in the direction of kharkiv was 8 km of the invaders, the defense forces of ukraine advanced 35 km deep into russian territory in two weeks, so we trust the defense forces of ukraine, we trust our defenders. well, one more event that pleased her yesterday... in the audience, of course, this is the attack on the ferry in the kavkaz port of the krasnodar

territory, the spokesman of the navy of ukraine dmytro pletenchuk said that 30 fuel tanks were destroyed there, let's listen to what pletenchuk said , without much detail, i can only note that this ferry, as i... have repeatedly stated on the air before, is one of the important chains of russian military logistics for providing the occupation forces, primarily with fuel and bridging materials, but in addition, of course, it transported weapons, so it is a completely legitimate target , and accordingly it should reduce the potential, capabilities of our enemy in those locations where they conduct active combat operations. mr. dmitry, does this strike mean that very soon the crimean peninsula may

turn into an island of crimea. yes, mr. sergey, let's talk about the planned one the nature of the actions of the defense forces of ukraine, the ukrainian intelligence community, look, strikes are carried out not only on ferry crossings, by the way, this is not the first strike on ferry crossings. thanks to the magura b5 maritime drone, the main intelligence agency of the ministry of defense and the strike of the defense forces of ukraine. eight large amphibious ships were not destroyed or seriously damaged, with which the russians planned to carry out the parallel nature of the logistics of the style districts of the russian federation on the territory of the occupied crimea, there is currently no such possibility, now also destroyed the ferry crossings, and accordingly there is only one legally legitimate target of the defense forces of ukraine, this is the kerch bridge, and accordingly, in the plans of the ukrainian military command, the ukrainian intelligence community. conducting the active nature of the operation to neutralize this logistics of the occupiers,

what is currently being carried out by the defense forces of ukraine and the ukrainian intelligence service, this is called in the nato classification the first stage of the cascade nature of the planning of the deoccupation operation, that is, the active neutralization protection of the last main logistics of the occupying army, we are talking about the kerch crimean bridge, the system is being destroyed. defense, that's why not, i think, well, in the near future, we will hear other good news from the temporarily occupied ukrainian territory. thank you, mr. dmytro, for the conversation, it was military expert dmytro snigirov. let me remind you that friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms, and throughout our broadcast we conduct surveys, today we we ask about this, whether the transition will improve. parishes of the uocmp to the ocu during the adoption of the law, after the adoption of the law, it is

meant the law on religious organizations that are connected with the russian federation. so, yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have your own opinion, please leave it in the comments below this video. if you're watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0.800 211 381 if you think the move is right. and uoc to e ocu will accelerate after approval this law? no. 0800-211-382. all calls to these numbers are free and... at the beginning of the program, we will sum up the results of this vote, then we have volodymyr tsibulko, political analyst, writer, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation, on the phone, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you, and thank you for joining our broadcast, i congratulate everyone on flag day, mr. volodymyr, and on independence day, which literally starts in a few hours in

ukraine. so, on the eve of independence day. india's prime minister modi visited kyiv, but the name of the man who actually spoke about peace does not always come up for me, he said that his main task in the conversation with zelenskyi was peace initiatives, and he brought from putin, putin's vision for the future of ukraine and... of russia, but in his final speeches we never heard what mody's peace plan actually consists of, because he is for peace against war, well, that is, some general phrases, how do you evaluate this visit and how much india can influence, how much it influences russia, and even more so, the weight of india is in

this peaceful future process, which ukraine is now starting in the world. first of all, india, by purchasing russian oil and withholding payments for this oil, essentially deprives putin of an operational resource, additional finances, i want to remind you that india has frozen about 50 billion dollars in its accounts in this way, and it is already there, it is already there in fact, they cannot transfer this money from rupees to dollars or rubles, he says that we do not mind, but this money is still in india. well, the hindus insist that russia invest it into the indian economy and then i received income, well, i already received income from investments, but in fact it is a bit of a game, because after all, this money leaks through saudi arabia, through the emirates, after all , it leaks into russia in some way, so, well,

converting there into real or in some additional units, we are talking about something else. at one time, the indians were associated with military and technical cooperation with russia, and at a certain time, when after the 14th year, ukraine stopped supplying, for example, turbines for ships, to the russian shipyards of the military, the indians were forced several destroyers without turbines were purchased. indians are interested in ukrainian turbines. speaking of the mash project, the indians are very interested in it due to the fact that russia is under sanctions, the indians cannot modernize soviet models of defense equipment, which they have in abundance at russian factories, so they can modernize them at ukrainian factories as an option. let me remind you that, in my opinion, at

the end of the 18th year, ukraine handed over to me five modernized ... an-32 aircraft, more than 100 of such h-32 aircraft are in service with india, and in fact, well, rights and, well all licenses belong to ukraine for these aircraft, therefore all the design support of these aircraft is carried out by ukraine, the indians are also interested in the development of their military transport aircraft, they had plans for the an-178, then armor. technology, i mentioned, and of course, modern technology, in particular neptunes, are of great interest to the indians, because they had the experience of cooperation with russia, they developed such an anti-ship missile, i think bramos, it was called, and i think it is some kind of modernized missile mosquito,

anti-ship, soviet, therefore hindus saw that there are intellectuals in ukraine. opportunities, technologies, and india is dependent on these technologies, that is, it cannot cooperate with russia, because it will immediately fall under sanctions, so i think that now there is a very interesting option, i will remind you that, for example, cooperative programs for the joint development of weapons numbered more three dozen, even more than four dozen programs, this is yan-178 and, in my opinion , armored vehicles. technology, well, of course, turbines, that is, ukraine has something to show, against the background of modern successes, it seems to me that the indians are very interested in ukrainian. pilots , in addition to everything, and slaves, well, for the sake of that, which countries india is surrounded by, obviously, it is interested in that, and among the

motives that could have prompted modi to come to ukraine, competition with china and including for europe is mentioned in particular , because modi was in poland and for the first time in 45 years, in the last 45 years of the prime minister... the indian minister visited poland, for the first time in the last 30 years the indian prime minister visited ukraine, and of course, modi visited russia and had a conversation with putin. obviously, it is obvious that india is still trying to win, including the support of european states, against the background of the possible chineseization of europe through belarus, hungary, and slovakia. well, what do you think, can modi help ukraine? firstly, i was expecting such upfront statements from modi. i

thought that modi, uh, in a week, well, the press service of the indian president, and uh, well, let's say this, the prime minister, more precisely, and, well, official factors will talk about the recognition of territorial. integrity, the priority of international law, but modi only spoke in kyiv, at least the press service, well, the ukrainian bank, reports about it, and it is very, very strange, because somehow pedaling on territorial integrity did not happen in advance, that is , why did he have such strange feelings, what did he come with, what is that version of it? of putin's proposals, when he talks about peace negotiations, without deciphering it, it only introduces such, well, a sense of caution:

he does not agree on something, he hides something, somewhere he is not sincere and cautions, at least, well, you can to say that with this visit he is more likely to save indian national interests than to advance there... putin's interest in reconciling with ukraine, well, without any doubt, we will monitor how india will be, whether it will join the second peace summit or not, or will join the peace initiatives of the ukrainian state and how will fashion be in this situation, what role will fashion play, because andriy yarmak said that he spoke to fashion for 3 hours. with zelensky, and this is a long enough time for negotiations and in order to find out all the relevant points the future of ukraine, but the fact that india sees

the future in ukraine and sees the future in relations between ukraine and india is very important. another topic, mr. volodymyr, is the collapse of russian religious organizations in ukraine, how much time and effort do you think it will take... to remove moscow's projects from ukraine? well, at a minimum, this will require re-elections, and if the servant of the people and zelenskyi are re-elected, this process will speed up. to date, the law they pushed is the law not about depriving ukraine of russian, church influence, but about preserving... the preservation of this influence, because the declaration itself is not important, the top of the uoc mp can accept

a lot of all kinds of papers about its independence from the russian orthodox church, but when this bureaucratic apparatus and this church are preserved , first of all, does not officially condemn russian aggression, does not condemn the actions of the roc in the takeover. in the occupied territories, then we cannot believe in her sincere intentions, but in banking, well, it has been known for a long time that the uoc mp is such a propaganda unit of the party regions, and it seems to me that they cannot get rid of this technological bookmark, that is, the idea of ​​9 months, i do not rule out that it is an idea of ​​active use. during these nine months, if there are elections of this particular religious organization for the purposes of party propaganda, in particular the servant of the people party, well... it is not for nothing

that they say that the idea of ​​a bank and the transformation of the uoc mp into the uoc op (president's office), well, that is renaming, as it used to be, sdp, sdpu to sdpuoo, or opzzh to this, what a platform for peace and life, well, with the church more or less it is clear, that is, some certain period during which there must be... any religious organization that is affiliated with moscow, to declare or file an appeal that they are no longer affiliated with moscow, but while in the uoc the abbot or head of the uoc is a member of the holy synod of the russian orthodox church by this time, when the ears are already sticking out so that there is nowhere to go, in principle, it will obviously be difficult to prove to the ukrainian orthodox church that they have no relation to the russian orthodox church, and here the question is... in

onufria, whether he will go from the holy synod of the russian orthodox church and put an end to this story. one more thing the question is the very end of our conversation, there were so many events this week that we are actually recalling all the key events and events that took place that were supposed to take place, there was to be a rotation in the government, new ministers were to be appointed, but zelensky announced this too, but this did not happen. yaroslav zheleznyak, people's... deputy of ukraine criticized the president's office for the months-long delay in filling vacant ministerial posts, and he reminded that today five ministers of infrastructure, information policy, veterans of sports, agrarian policy and affairs, let's listen to what yaroslav zheleznyak said. personnel, let's say, political failure, well, it must end at some point , some kind of personnel viagra should be applied.

for some ministers to be there, well, at least formally, who are responsible for their directions, is this so important in the conditions of monopoly and monopolization of power, well, in general, our government is also a subject of international law, so to speak, that is, the prime minister must communicate a lot with the partner governments of others countries, and such an incompetent government, it...

puts partners in a situation of distrust in the ukrainian government, in functional capabilities, how can we conclude interstate agreements with such a government? eh, that is , this was specially done in order to undermine the subjectivity of the government, but under the conditions when the majority of it is exhausted and... the circumstances are ripe for the creation of a new coalition, the bank is trying as far as possible to subjectify the government, that the world accepts zelensky as the head of the government, as well as the head of the verkhovna rada, well, as a dictator, i.e. in essence, they created the circumstances under which the constitution is finally buried, because some ministers have been absent for more than six months, and no

actions are taken on... the appointment of these ministers is not carried out by the monomajority, that is, in essence , the idea is to finish off the state institutions and the power turned out to be real in five, it is finally and irrevocably in the hands of five or six managers. and how does this threaten ukraine in general? lawlessness, that is, in essence, when the partners see that the constitution and the law do not work, they risk entering into any agreements. let's see after the election of a new team the european commission was supposed to start, the dialogue about the acquisition of ukraine's membership in the european union was supposed to start, well, where is this dialogue, where is it, and there is no one to talk to in ukraine about this matter. thank you, mr. volodymyr, thank you for your comments, and thank you for participating in the program, it was volodymyr.
