inspiration in difficult moments there are times to live for, happiness is in the little things, life will win, what can i tell you, dear friends, over the past 8 years in ukraine , the number of women in the armed forces has grown very strongly. well, over the past four months, it has grown even more, and moreover, that women work not only in such rather traditional roles for women, but in general, they are now in all branches of the military, they are on the front lines, women also bear the burden of war at the front, and in fact, they become the heroines of many western changes

, they make reports about them get on the covers of publications well, actually tetiana litvinova also talked to ukrainian women defenders, let's look at stories from the press on the topic of ukrainian women at the front and in the army ilona and victoria are confidently holding weapons, now they are in the ranks the 112th brigade of the kyiv tereo has collected things and is ready to meet the enemy at any moment. ilona felt that there would be a full-scale offensive by russia and began to overcome the trio even before february 24. that day, at seven in the morning, she was at the door with her things the military woman says that she was scared only on the first day, and when i was 16 years old there in the 14th year, of course, uh, probably the most i could do then was volunteering, then

helping those who are fighting. and now, uh, well, i don't i could not go. it was my moral choice. i had to it was scary on the first day, february 24, when it was not clear what would happen next. will this country exist at all , and when they gave us weapons and i understood that i have weapons, but i still don't have the skills and i have to take them from the enemy, and that was it the first day is scary, but after that everything will be fine. the girls say that the boys always want to help them, but they refuse, because you have to get used to heavy equipment and weapons, of course it was difficult, it was difficult to pick up a weapon, because it is a weapon after all, i never could to think that the armament will be like this it's hard, but it's uncomfortable, but we're training and it's better than the first few days, and so on. well, in many

ways, we can't and don't want to live in a country where there's always some kind of aggression or occupation and there's always, hmm, some anxiety that now someone will come and that's it it is that we have earned everything that we have, they can take it away, that is why we are here to live in a free country. women's underwear, in general, we teach, no one gives it to anyone, well, it's already anatomic body armor, well, women have breasts, and that's it, wearing flats, well, it's difficult, it's painful, it's harmful to health, in fact, not to mention the weight, that is, he not only women, everyone needs 15-gram body armor, but lighter ones, and of the corresponding class of protection, so it is precisely this aspect that should

be paid attention to if ukraine takes a course to increase the number of women in the armed forces from october 1, women of professions specified by the ministry of defense and at the same time, this does not automatically mean mobilization, because it is carried out on the basis of another law on mobilization according to the decree of the president of ukraine for today, and these decrees, both the first and the second, did not contain a distinction based on gender, they simply used the term military obligation as for the future it will be formulated in this decree whether any gender changes will be taken into account i cannot say this no one can say while being registered a woman just like a man can get postponement of conscription for military service due to health or family circumstances, at the same time, the defense noted that the issue of women's mobilization in ukraine will not arise in the near future

. saichuk work for you live and right now we have the next guest of our broadcast on the line, this is kyrylo from the season to journalist, political scientist, serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, congratulations mr. kyrylo, congratulations, what else let's start with the fact that despite the report of the minister of defense of russia, sergei shoigu, the president of ukraine, the aggressor, who gave putin attention to the occupation of the entire luhansk region of ukraine, the head of luhansk region , he emphasizes that the luhansk region is 100% unoccupied and the fighting continues on the outskirts of the region, and the russians continue to suffer significant losses . and actually gaidai reported that after the destruction of several warehouses this week in the temporarily occupied

part of luhansk region, the enemy even suspended offensive actions in this direction. how do you assess the situation in luhansk region, we know for sure that you were not fighting in luhansk region. during this week, we even saw your posts from the positions of uh, we know that now uh, you are in another place, but you can directly assess the situation from the inside and how it may develop in the coming weeks please , mr. kirill lysychansk, they left the organized calmly, that is, the equipment came out, the people came out, there was no panic . this is exactly where the units that walk on foot were the last to leave, and the shortage has just been swept away, the opposite has already been reported to putin that this luhansk region is occupied, that they captured and control the

remaining paroposelkov . belogorovke is already on the border with the donetsk region in the northern direction. they occupied it several times. hands and that's why you formally speak of the full control-buhansk region. russia still can't. moreover, yesterday their column was on the territory of luhansk oblast. the battery is important because in the luhansk region, russia does not feel at ease and does not feel at home , so the report that the luhansk region of russia is under the control of russia hastened a bit can take control of luhansk region, but the soviet union is there

, that is, the american institute of war research says that they still have plans to take kharkiv oblast here, how will they take kharkiv oblast if they do? they can’t deal with luhansk oblast, and i don’t know the situation with the institute of war research what are they starting from? to what extent do we understand the overall picture? the kremlin's task now is full control over luhansk and donetsk regions . this is a key task. half of everything they have in general, and after that, if they succeed, they will be able to announce on tv that they have successfully completed the first stage of the special operation in ukraine, reached the administrative borders in the donetsk and luhansk regions of the so- called dnr of the lnr, and after that, they can already plan offensive on other directions i think that the key was and still is

kiev from the south and from the north most likely simultaneously and at the second stage most likely well in this read almost everything will be confident the belarusian side, because minsk has already signed up to participate in the second stage, that is, donbas is a nickname for everything, if they cannot take the donetsk region, then the completion of even the first stage of the special operation, the so-called thing, cannot be done, they will have to change the plan for of fact how will it be and what are the terms this is what you are talking about now let's add a little more fact in the ministry of defense of russia this week announced a pause in hostilities that are ongoing at the beginning of the full-scale invasion on february 24 and information british intelligence confirms the pause in the fighting in donbas, the institute for the study of war well, the president of the aggressor country, putin, says that the war has not really started yet, so is there actually a pause or not, what is the kremlin preparing for, and how

exactly is it on the timeline war, events may develop in the near future. well, you know. as for the pause, first of all, the shelling, as we see, does not stop in many cities . missile strikes are carried out. we see victims. this is terrible. we see rubble. we see destroyed peaceful quarters. pause, excuse me, what a pause, secondly , allow yourself a little irony, eh, british intelligence is talking about a pause in hostilities, the kremlin is talking about a pause in hostilities, well, our radios are completely not tuned to these frequencies , so the forces of ukraine will pass, i don’t know what it's a matter of military actions, we will continue to work , continue to fight them if they attack , we will fight back if they attack, we will attack , we will forgive, well, our fame has disappeared, no one has put such a team in our place no, that's what as for the timing, it is very funny to make a forecast now. we remember that the rockets ended two months ago and two weeks later, and kiev will last three days and the ring around kiev in a week. in general, it is difficult to make forecasts based

on numbers. but i would say we take it critically on september 1, plus or minus two weeks, it's a critical period. well, the article by lawrence friedman is out, it's the next one. i'm very much after him. at first , i don't always follow it. it's there. it's a professor, a teacher of the royal college and the military. and it's actually because he is very cautious in his forecasts and that is probably why his forecasts come true in general if you follow these forecasts for four months, he said that he is again very cautious in his forecasts, but he says several things that are important for us, first of all, that the defeat of the russian federation is not the same is not the same as the victory of ukraine because, first of all, the goals of the russian federation are vague, they have never been clearly named, and therefore russia

can always try to say that we didn’t want to, we didn’t really want to. they said after they retreated from kiev, so they said with a variable . well, take it away, we didn’t really need that changed and so on, while these people of ukraine, they are more or less defined and this is the liberation of the territory at least until the 24th, and in this sense he says that the ukrainian armed forces do not have much time, not such a long thread, a large window of opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, and in your opinion, what are our prospects here ? russian generals show that they are capable of retreating under the threat of very serious trads, they did everything from under kyiv, they did it from a variable in the end and this means that their plans can also be crossed out in donbas, in your opinion and what is needed for this and what will these losses be themselves i am very pleased to admit this, i

want to continue talking about stupid ferrets who climb into the same trap for the tenth time, well, in fact, even the dead and the officers of the middle class learn from the wine and the soldiers, they also learn from their experience, they learn to fight. marta, but as for the plans, the plans were simple . kiev in 3 days is not a common phrase. sometimes creams remind me of a wild boar rushing through a burning forest. he doesn't see where he's going . that's how it turns out. but they change them as they go . after all, control over the donetsk and luhansk regions and after this will offer a truce is not a fact that ukraine will agree to this, the institute

for the study of war still expresses opinions and we must also take them into account, we discuss them here about the fact that russia's global goals remain unchanged and the kremlin wants to achieve a change of power in kyiv and carry out territorial expansion far beyond the borders of donbass, on july 5th, the asv published this report and reminded him that as the secretary of the security council of russia, patrushev repeated again on july 5th that the goal of the attack on ukraine demilitarization, de-nazification, the achievement of neutral status, putin voiced this kind of nonsense on february 24, that is, nothing changes globally, and this is confirmed by american analysts, they can set local goals, and we can see how they are not able to achieve or what they planned to do in a few days , months pass and it is not a fact that this will eventually lead to global successes of russia on the battlefield, even

on the contrary, the same analysts say that the occupation of north donetsk lysychansk only will make the situation worse for russia because it is losing significant forces there and the ukrainian army is capable of rapid regrouping and is moving to more advantageous positions for a counter-offensive. they lead an independent state so that these global goals do not change and it is not necessary to be an analyst to work at an institute to understand the second thing that patrush putin declares, militarization, eleventh-fication, and everything in short, it's not plans, it's not logic, it's propaganda for very, very stupid cases, the rest are fed point-of-interest things about the threat of nato about the first territory. and it's just propaganda, you shouldn't take it seriously, and then according to their plans, so

control q take kiev on purpose and divide ukraine from poland from belarus, from romania, from hungary, it’s like in the joke about the sushkoko, the truth or what he can eat in the winter 2 maybe it will give him such a beautiful plan and desires, they have legitimate plans and then no one will let them be realized, they didn’t give it to him i will repeat myself. russia the criterion is that the problem of ukrainian independence from the authorities in kiev will be solved within a week by force, moreover, in this period. the bureaucratic one has to start unwinding, there are some sanctions if everything was calculated that the operation will go very quickly, there they will remove the ukrainian independence in europe, it will be possible to live in of the new reality, well, they sighed at the door of the formal sanctions, discussed and expressed deep concern and

further we make acidity ukraine aborted these plans once, aborted the second time, aborted the third to be really frequencies, different inorations in us, we scored, we will make it known, we continue 12, we continue to keep the defense, you will not get anything from them, just a short one comment leading up to our conversation with kirill, every season for me this conversation and every time i see kirill on the air now, this story in ukrainian is seasonal for me the pride of success and victory, the story is also about how a political scientist from busha, temporarily occupied by the russians , not only got out of there, but is now beating the enemy in the luhansk region and knocking out the russian occupiers from there like a warrior. now let's move on to our next conversation and victor chumak, reserve major general, military prosecutor of ukraine 2019-20 years, is in touch with us , congratulations mr. viktor, good day, well,

i hope you listened to this part of our broadcast , if not, then i will summarize briefly, kyrylo sezonov said interesting things after we talked here with belarusian experts and they commented on the possibility of an attack from the side of belarus by the russian military reinforced by the belarusian army kirill of the season put it this way: kyiv continues to be the number one target and the west from the side of belarus is actually imminent reality even gave the deadline of september 1, well, on average, plus two weeks, how do you , viktor, look at these forecasts? how do you evaluate them and what do you think about it? well, first of all, i want to join your guys for the uh season, yes, they were with him once upon a time, there were different relations in the public sphere. we used to write to each other in different degrees of sharpness and such, but now there are definitely

so many of them. you will work for it and you see, you remember and now i am looking at the wings just like you and i am glad that this is, you know, such a very cool story, well, the story of a real ukrainian person who was in an occupied village, who got out of there, who went on to fight. - the first is the story of a person who is from donbass from donetsk who came to kyiv here was in bucha then it became like that well, i too will like this whole story and i am glad to see him and i am glad to hear him in a human way because i can argue with him professionally in a human way this is the one who is so uh and here, here, regarding the professional what, how and where to go there lukashenka on september 1, and here you can’t throw anything

away. lukashenko is very afraid to enter ukraine directly. yes, he is he is very afraid, he wants to cross the letter between the drops and would like to do everything that putin asks or demands of him, let's say so , and at the same time stay more or less because it is already impossible to stay clean, it is impossible to stay outside the sanctions, but still stay as if out of the war, so they come out as out of the war, he says that they are pushing us under them and that's why for today, as far as i understand, as far as i know, as far as i have certain information there , uh, in the coming week, there is no such danger if there is something that someone can attack from the side of belarus in the next week or two weeks, then in order to attack, it is necessary to gather at least a certain number of military personnel there who created a threat, so far there are no such numbers, yes, there is

training, yes, there is a demonstrative action there in certain directions, this is all a demonstration, which is a very large part of the ukrainian site, so we could use all the troops stationed there in the volyn region of polissia in the kyiv region, we could use them in the east and in the south but we can't because we really have a threat there and these troops are distracting we have to conduct training with personnel there on the border we must conduct training with civilians here we must divert resources, that is, mine the resources themselves are military because the fungi here must also be the same ones that are in the east, the tanks must be here, uh, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers must be here and so and so, everything else, that is, a part, a large part of the army must be here to be here because we must in any case

preserve and kiev and we must preserve all the logistics of supplying western weapons that are coming to us because it is no secret that the goal, yes, the first goal is kyiv, the second goal is to break through the entire logistics chains of supply of weapons and supply of any resources for the war of the west in ukraine and this is then this and uh volyn oblast is then lviv oblast and so on, that is, there may be an attack of the world, but again i say everything will depend on how they will develop events on in the east and in the south of ukraine, if events there develop not in favor of russia, if there is no opportunity there, or let's put it this way, lukashenko will see that , in principle, parity has been formed, because i say that we are somewhere until september. we must form fire parity with the russians and leave on the stabilization of the front, yes, they are still continuing to press there somewhere, well, in the area

of ​​bakhmut, in the area of ​​seversky, in the area of ​​slavyansk kramatorsk, they will still be there now, pressuring them there now on the target, but we need to form such a fire priority in order to stabilize the front, this pressure, this pressure was not there, we just worked, as well, correctly, the butcher said that we should work like a meat grinder, that is, to grind more and more mountains, but not to let our troops grind well, actually, again, i will quote er lawrence er florence er freeman about the fact that the professor of military research at the king 's college london but this is how to say it correctly and about what russia and ukraine really have now several months, literally two, three, maybe four months, so that either or it is important for russia to advance further and at least try to occupy the donetsk region. well, there is also a

war research institute there, the american says that even they are not losing hope somewhere in kharkiv to spread out and to ukraine, on the other hand, this is also a very short window of opportunity for a counteroffensive. well, all the same. almost without exception, foreign experts said that the kherson region is the most likely . the events of the following months will develop, because if the parity you mention is reached, for example, by september, then this window will actually close. no, i do not think that the window will close in september, i just think that it will be extended because we will parity and we will be able to proceed to active actions. september is a dry enough month, but i am afraid that by september they will bite off the donetsk region a little more.

method well, they have long been talking about a barrage of fire and which sweeps away, then, then, then, then, let’s say artillery, aviation destroys almost all populated areas or fire positions, which are strong points, and then the infantry begins to move forward and must be withdrawn because there is nothing to cling to, but what i i think that in principle, they will bite a little bit, but it will be, you know, like a swing, that is, if they bother something in the east, that is, in the donetsk region, in the same way, we will bother in the south, in the kherson region swings like this, they will go. i think that the russians want to fix some territories somewhere near the end of september in order to hold a pseudo-referendum there, some political measures in order to formalize these occupied territories as well, the so

-called territories of the future union state there, but i don't think that they, for example will want to accept the composition of russia there, the same lpr and dpr, it is a bit disadvantageous from the political side all the intimidation of the west, the intimidation of the report that they are to include and their nuclear doctrine of the protection of all territories and so on will be applied there, they are symbolists. yes, they are very great symbolists , and one of the symbols of this war should have been the restoration of the ussr. this is, for example, the main task of the what is putin fighting for the restoration of the ussr - it is december 30, december 30 of this year, yes, it will be the 100th anniversary of the creation of the ussr, and until this old age, it is most likely that they will be able to let us go here and fix it by that time, although

fix it somehow politically, but together with belarus, russia and russia are forming a new one of their own. and there will be some kind of political statement about this. but from here, a new countdown will begin, so i think that we also understand this well and on at the political level, and at the military level , the situation is such that if by september we will achieve the parity in firepower, firepower, firepower, firepower, firepower, and firepower , we must do everything possible to free the largest possible number territory as much as possible, i hope it will be in the south from two sides, i hope it will also be from the right bank of the dnieper from the zaporizhzhia part , and that is, in zaporizhzhia from the left bank of the dnieper well, i am not a strategist
