about the situation with the fighters from mariupol who are now in enemy captivity , some additional information may have already appeared, something is known, the resolution does not have information in principle, those what agreements did we have, they stay somewhere, we will say yes, we are waiting conditionally, we will say yes to the exchange of these people, because there was an agreement as follows that they receive these rights of prisoners of war, they are included in the list for exchange, for our part , we are also preparing the exchange of russian military personnel and conducting this that's why it's still in the process, nothing more, unfortunately, i can't say, well, the russian federation declares that er, any process skills will become possible only if er, they receive appropriate sentences after the trial of our the russian federation is asking someone specific. they are interested in some

specific contingent among those of their military who are currently in our captivity or right here. well, look, in fact, you should understand that there are people who are interested in them, again, i can't talk about that. to say and they are very interested, they are extremely interested, first of all, they measure wars there, believe me, we held several, let's say, non-public informal exchanges with a large number of our soldiers, namely conscripts, their conscripts, they are just ready to give there are many and they are ready for anything. because for them this is a very serious story, first of all, they are afraid of that, they are afraid of the riots of the conscripts, because they declared that there are no conscripts here, and so on, we saw about their series about when there were military actions here in our country in the kyiv region, including the insurers, and even putin spoke about it there, you can imagine the hysteria they had if even later he announced that i would be ordered to go there again, and so on, when you should not have been there. well, actually, including this so interested a larger type of commanders and terms. and what kind of story,

for example, with such characters as shishimarin, is this a moral lesson. who shot our civilian in the kyiv region, a person was just walking and talking on the phone, and he did it. he has now received a sentence from our court, yes, life imprisonment, that is, such characters will be subject to a possible exchange, will he be slobbering for the rest of his poor life, look, i will tell you my subjective opinion, my subjective opinion, of course, i would like him to sit there, uh, for life, they are connected, but for me now wash away all my emotions for me now, dear prisoner of war of the russian federation, this is nothing more than just what we can exchange for our soldiers, that's all, that's just an exchange resource in a different way, even yes, subjective opinion coincides with subjective in the opinion of the advisor to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine, the objective opinion of this

country, i remind you, consists of the subjective opinions of all its citizens. let's move away from the topic of subversive intelligence groups that actually work in our country, how do we find such russians and recruited collaborators inside our country ? nataliya humenyuk, who represents the operational command of the south, said that the russian drg on armored vehicles moved in the uniform of our armed forces and fortunately, they were discovered in time and stopped already, and if i don’t say the exact number, more than 800 people have already been captured during the beginning of the war, i can say that this is a work that continues continuously. continues, including in kyiv oblast, in the border regions, especially there, now we are talking

about sumy oblast, including sumy oblast. of this and are ready for any events , including of course in the south and east of our country. well, of course, we have uh, how can i tell you this, if we are talking specifically about the work of the drg with uh, identified recruiters, then the work continues and it not will even be completed even after the end of any hostilities, because we must understand that the enemy's task will not be fulfilled in this war, this is clearly because its task when the country will not exist and this is in principle and a priori possible, therefore the enemy will do everything for reference attempts, of course, we will work on this promptly, not only us, but also all the structures that before this end, including the sbu, the general prosecutor's office and others, you mentioned the level of increasing the level of danger to a certain degree in the north of our country for

of unverified information, there is, so to speak, an assumption that in the next couple of days the enemy will try to shake volyn, that is, volynska of the rivne region, and so on in the region, yes, with the aim of possibly trying to divert attention from the south , they are really trying to do something a bit more large-scale there, well, taking into account the fact that they have relocated, perhaps from kandera to the brest region well, we understand that they will also fire missiles, well, look, i'll tell you like this, are provocations on their part possible? yes, of course, they are possible, i will not reject this option, we can definitely to say that we are ready for any provocations, we have built defense structures that were there, let's say, we started to prepare for war first, because we thought that they would still enter us earlier, reserve troops are concentrated there, which are also ready for this offensive, but i want i can tell you that simply if it is possible to calm down in this way, it will be nothing

more than certain provocations because there is absolutely no military logic. go to the volyn region, conditionally speaking, it will not bring any strategic advantages to the enemy there only i am convinced that it will be created and this can be created just so that it is possible to withdraw certain of our troops from the east and south of our country and divert our attention because we must understand that the key and hottest point right now is the point in donetsk in the direction there will be severodonetsk and so on, i can say that this is now one of the hottest new year's eves and the main concentration , including we see the regrouping of russian troops, is concentrated precisely in this direction i am convinced that everything that will happen in the north of our country will be more than an attempt to once again divert our forces' attention and show us some kind of maneuver so that we will now

enter from the north. i am convinced that it will be nothing more than such maneuvers to distract mr. rostislav for the time being. in ukraine, the actor discussed the legalization of weapons and yesterday we heard from the minister of defense and his opinion on this matter. account and what is the position of the ministry of internal affairs and maybe again your subjective, look, i can't say the position of the ministry of internal affairs because we, by and large, you know such a neutral structure, which by and large launched this conditional survey, yes, the minister of the interior this story was launched by denys monastersky. we understand that this issue has been operating for a long time in the discourse there, including in our kitchens and somewhere there, political and so on , because it is always a question of self-defense it was relevant, i can say my subjective opinion , taking into account what is happening in the country now

, this is somehow justified, i can say, again, only my subjective opinion, i am in favor of allowing short-barreled weapons, but against carrying them in public places because that i think it will be absolutely wrong when people can i don't know there uh drink in a restaurant with a gun on me i am very against this world these are the consequences you now know in ukraine it can lead to i would like to clarify with you mr. rostyslava whether there is admission of our fighters from the international humanitarian organizations of the same international cross , it is about the azov garrison that is in russian captivity, see there were certain agreements, including about the admission of the type of organization, including about the food of our fighters. we must understand that according to the agreement there were to be and provided medical care, there should be three meals a day, including providing on our side which will be allowed, so in fact all these arrangements are but again,

this information is extremely secret and i cannot now , only the president will directly comment on this information, so we will add some nuances. but in order not to interfere with the matter, i can only say those things that are, in principle , already known. the task of saving the life of our ancestors save life thank you rostyslav smirnov adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine worked live on the air of our information marathon and the deputy mayor is in touch with us now the cities of pokrovsk margarita and drisova mrs. margarita, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes pokrovsk is periodically under fire, we know very well how the city lives eh now how has the last day passed, in particular today the morning in the city of pokrovsk is good eh the day before yesterday

was not kind at all because we were confirmed to be shelled shelled with canders uh, the railway infrastructure was damaged, our residents, civilians in general, were damaged, the homes of ordinary residents were damaged, i don't know what they saw there the rashists may have seen military infrastructures among civilians, but in general only ordinary ordinary houses of ordinary people are affected and there are six people injured, they have shrapnel wounds and, you know, the neurological shocks with which we put them in our hospital. we will stabilize him, two of us have already let go of the hardware treatment, but there was one civilian who was seriously injured

, and his jaw was knocked out. this is how we live, uh, from day one, you are doing great, let me give you a non-formal compliment, you are doing great, you are doing well, although we understand how difficult the situation is in general in donetsk region, yes, if you compare it with luhansk region. hell is a little less, if you can measure it, what is the general situation of the region from what you know, and phosphorus bombs are our

maryinka, this is the pokrovsky district, the city of maryyanka is suffering from shelling, the city of avdiivka is suffering from shelling so we are very, very close. we hear all these explosions and hear all these airstrikes and people from our city are evacuating, but you know , some of them are returning because we are holding on. we are trying to live a peaceful life. well, i’m coming back, but we urge the residents not to return to the city of pokrovsk, because the situation in the region and in the city is very simple, but controlled, that is, what motivates people to return, as far as i understand, our state is doing what it can to do, but unfortunately this effort is not always adequately appreciated by the

residents, so people who are forced to stay in shelters for a certain time are forced to return home, they simply have nothing to live for, this applies to people who fundamentally want to stay in ukraine and not go to an unfamiliar western world what other motivation do people have, they also return because they lack money for accommodation, but our city does everything in such a way that we are supplemented with washing machines that accept our residents, etc. they will accept them. there are even cities that accept them with three meals a day. we visited their residents

. you know how much we talked, met our residents, we say , well, why are you coming back, you see that it is dangerous, that there are shelling every morning, they say, we really want to go home, we would rather sit in basements, but at home, at home, and the walls count, but every time i call on our residents because life is important, those walls that are in them are a daisy, we know that it is from pokrovsk that the train to life, as they have already managed to call it, leaves for the dnipro and lviv, and i would like to remind that the force yesterday published a list of several ukrainian enterprises, the employees of which were mostly killed or injured as a result of the hostilities, and it was ukrainian railway workers, there are more than a hundred of them, already now we understand and thank you for the heroism that show our railway workers, tell

me if the pokrovsk dnipro lviv train is currently in demand, in particular, is it safe to evacuate in your opinion by rail now, in particular? let's say this point by point to our residents, our train is working, well, it really is. our heroes are our railwaymen who evacuate sacks every day, but not only the cobs are being evacuated, but people are being transported from lysychansk and luhansk region and evacuate them to safe places city ​​thank you thank you mrs. margarita for your work for that work and of course for participating in the live broadcast of the informational marathon of the espresso tv channel

margarita and drisova deputy mayor pokrovska worked for you dear tv viewers , let's detail the situation in luhansk oblast answered by serhii gaidai severodonetsk four four people died in lysichansk the police station was fired upon, about 50 houses were damaged, the russian army is trying to enter the city from the side of the russian federation, and there was also an attack on the armed forces of ukraine in the area a man was killed in ustinivka, and two women are known to have died in gorny, popasnya and povesnya and hirska communes, and a total of 11 houses were damaged as well. well, that is, luhansk is the focus of our attention right now, but from today's explosions and shelling very, very, very early at night the dnipropetrovsk region has woken up, they

are actually reporting that this is about very serious destruction, we are now talking about warming up the brews and searching for the injured and maybe even the dead will help us create a complete picture of what what is happening on the fronts spokesman for the civilian understanding of the military situation serhii zgurets military expert slava ukraine p serhiu so a couple of minutes ago we listened to a report from our general staff, there were rather dry facts . we understand what is being done in luhansk region and donetsk region, but there is still the issue of the south. the measures of the russian federation are taking place to ensure the encirclement of our troops, and the ukrainian

side, e.e., is repelling the price of offensives, as you have already said about the fact that the hostilities are actually being conducted directly in north donetsk, where the enemy is located in the northern part of the city , using mortars, artillery, and aviation, and then trying to ensure influence for our troops, this is a difficult and dangerous situation. the leadership of the ministry of defense says that we are at the maximum intensity of hostilities, and there really are the risks are connected with the outflow of our group in view of the attempts of the russian federation to control the route from severodonetsk to bakhmut, which is really under fire control from the south and from the north, there are attempts by the russians to transport the e-e zone around this route at the expense

of advancing e- e troops from e popasnaya in the direction of bakhmut and in the direction of this route, as well as in the renewal of combat operations on e-e liman, also says that the enemy is trying to use artillery to penetrate our defenses. they become questions a possible breakthrough of our front by the enemy is now being seriously considered because in some areas the enemy is extremely dangerously concentrated, he tries not to show this direct concentration, but we understand that this is a matter of mobilization for 12-15 hours, so in particular it is about the south, there is a feeling that they are preparing for a possible great con formation of the troops because they regularly throw in manpower. well, plus an additional tank brigade and what worries our tv viewers the most. well, that’s it

so to speak, the information trend is a change in aristovych's rhetoric. that is, everyone is reacting to the fact that arestovich spoke in different categories than he did the last 90 days ago. in fact, i am somewhat surprised that we have to assess the situation on the fronts using this, which suggests that the position of the general staff should be more clearly, if yesterday arestovych talked about the fact that we have no reserves, it even annoyed me internally , because this representative cannot talk about what the general staff does directly and our armed forces have reserves. the question is that we expect to be strengthened by non-human personnel, of which we have enough precisely at the expense of obtaining an additional amount of weapons, but we have reserves. i am surprised that the same general staff did not refute these statements of the arrestee, as he really understands uh, this situation can't be

normal, now going back to the south, uh, the enemy is really bringing certain forces there, when you talk about the tank brigade, the tank brigade, there is no reason , according to the mass media, about 30 t-62 tanks started to be presented as it is for some success, the 32 tanks are old and let’s just ignore them because these are, well, minimal efforts there from the point of view of strengthening the russian potential, we are talking about the fact that a significant number of the russian group is really stretched as far as the cock, but no fundamental changes are taking place there and i think that some changes will be possible only after understanding the situation, how the situation will be solved directly around north donetska lesychanska and e ruzhnya and popasnaya, where the largest number is concentrated today of combat-capable russian troops, the advantage of the russians in the area of ​​​​falling just right. by the way, it is based on the fact that the most combat-capable and effective

units can be brought there, and there is a very short supply chain by rail from the territory of the russian federation. composition, therefore, precisely this cutting from the side of the enemy is not even cutting through, but pushing through artillery and air strikes, so i think that the situation is really, let’s say, on all fronts stably complex or directly, the battle in donbass around north donets lysychansk will be the most revealing, but the individual tactical successes of the russians are not perceived as any operational successes or breakthroughs, mr. sergey, the possibility of the involvement of the belarusian factor again on our northern borders in particular, we see that lukashenko is planning to deploy something there. and in the south, in our country, and in our case, it is the north, and in the same way, the proximity to

our borders of their iskandars, and more precisely, probably, the russian ones, to a different extent, is also not reassuring in particular, the western ukrainian regions. well, in addition, the adviser to the minister of defense, hanna malyar, noted yesterday that kyiv must now always be ready for potential danger. decipher this, please tell me whether it is possible to involve belarus in this war again. well, in fact, i consider it unlikely that belarusian troops will be involved in hostilities. it is because of such a double policy in belarus, because let's remember that at the beginning lukashenko really spoke about the fact that we are threatened there, then he was one of the first leaders there of this group when he started talking about the fact that the operation of ideas is not quite as fast as we wanted and that this wavering is a sign that in reality

belarus is not ready for hostilities and even the mood that is planned for the human army also confirms this tendency and the direct attack of everything the direction for the belarusians is very complicated due to the agreement on the specifics of the territory , however, the use of aviation and e-e missile weapons of the russian state from the territory of belarus is indeed a constant threat that is assessed by the ukrainian side and in this in this context, the threat to kyiv as such is really a constant factor that has already been mentioned several times and i think that it will not disappear anywhere if there are some activations in one or another format . to the brest region well, this is quite a telling signal, please tell our viewers what the kandera is, what is the

danger . as for the iskanders, they were actively used at the beginning of the hostilities , they are now used complexes that can impress targets at a range of up to 500 km with atomic or baristic or cruise missiles. indeed , the number of iskanders in the russians varies when we talk about missiles, according to our information, by the way, there were of recently tried ones and even an order to order a new batch of iscandirs, but the production of this batch will stretch for about three years, but in any case, we understand that until today the threat of the use of various missile weapons remains, it is not going anywhere, and i think that here we should rather not count the remains of chanters and create a defense system

using either aviation or air defense, these are the directions for improving our capabilities, although they are being implemented quite slowly so far mr. serhiy , the information has appeared so far only in the media, but in principle, quite such well-known, authoritative, authoritative, and rssu and highersi is now the main request, of course, of ukrainian official a-a persons but the delivery can be approved as early as next week. it is alleged that the united states is going to send long-range missile systems to ukraine. right now we are talking about interceptors, and only then which of them, as they say, to shoot . in your opinion, how does this correlate with the course of the war? in fact, today or even yesterday, there was a briefing in the pentagon where this topic was discussed from the point of view of journalists' inquiries, there were publications indicating that the pentagon is really already leaning towards

the decision to send er launchers to ukraine and er against the background of other measures, in particular, the request by ship missiles of the wrong ukrainian personnel, which, by the way, has already begun to prepare er with the help of the american side, er, obtaining chimeras is really a long time ago the dream and long-standing aspiration of the ukrainian side is about the fact that , in particular, at the expense of a significant number of long-range weapons, the potential of the russians in offensive actions will be significantly reduced, that is, as everyone knows, about 300 km of high-precision weapons i mean, even the situation in the donbass would be much easier for us if we could, in other words, destroy these reserves, which today russia is gradually increasing at the expense of these weapons systems. this perspective remains extremely important and relevant for the ukrainian side . i think that in the near future, washington is simply

obliged to make a similar decision, especially since the medi expert environment and political and political understand that this is blood from, in particular, mr. are working, for example, in ukraine, that italian howitzers already do a good job of performing tasks, that well, i don't know if there is a full amount of weapons. we have five howitzers with the so-called m -77 marking already working in ukraine. only in the fact that they give us and in what quantity, how to adjust this moment, we have one minute well, in fact, we received about 90 howitzers, this is enough for one artillery brigade in order to reach parity in the combatants directly in the donbass, we need

at least five more artillery systems of this caliber, which we have now received when we talk about howitzers, when we talk about chimeras and melarists, the situation may be a different point of view on the effectiveness of use, but we do not yet have their volumes they will understand when we talk about the howitzers, i will repeat, there must be five more of them or we must reach parity with the enemy. it was serhiy zgurets, a military expert , defect express. with the periodicity of the high-quality analysis that you regularly provide to the espressova tv channel, now it is news time and it would be time to pass the word to iryna koalik , i understand.
