e quickly everyone understood what was happening right away e-e when the first information such news began kharkiv e-e donetska luhansk region kyiv echelons of columns are entering e-e everyone mobilized very quickly e-e today i remembered such a situation there when it was the 15th year, and the mobilization of the sixth wave ended, then all the people who were motivated and had their own affairs, they lived their lives. but they said such a thing, the commander, when the war starts, we will be late. we will be here, that's basically what happened on the 25th, the people of western ukraine already left from all regions of ukraine who served in the unit for the entire time of its existence, more than 9,000 people came to serve in various formats , some as reservists, volunteers, mobilized, or contractual, well, on a contract basis, that is, people

came, people were ready, motivated, equipped and already in 25-26 they were formed right away, not even there, but with the issued documents, they got weapons right away and advanced to the directions in the directions in the kyiv region. and what combat tasks is your battalion currently performing? the task in the donetsk direction on the first line is performing the tasks of the main directions that we have now taken, this is air reconnaissance, this is the destruction of the enemy with the available means, to preserve the borders that we have in the future before the interview, you sent me a video about how your battalion works. and you know , today i was going to work and heard the song "

warriors of light" on the radio. let's make a video together let's see the shot, the fighter is crying, what is she, the camouflaged hearts stopped the bullets, the doctors are on the skid, the dragon is feeding to take revenge in her, the law cuts down to warm the newlywed years, the young, bright rivers, you are a drum, don't you, don't take such loud things here, eight minuses, kulchytskyi's battalion is working, ukraine is bright, the dawn has already blossomed. the videos

support and motivate the fighters, their role is such, they give the people who are here an opportunity to understand what the fighters are actually doing there, what kind of training and endurance do they show there in order to be here it was possible to live a little more calmly , now they saw how to roast orcs normally, well, in our rear, people are frankly inspired by the creation of such motivational videos, there they gather military personnel and well, in this way, they somehow try to join the hostilities and somehow and support the military and show here in the rear that we are beating the enemy, that we are winning, i remember the first weeks, well, social networks were going crazy from the number of uh, this burned equipment, killed russians, and we, well,

frankly, frankly rejoiced yes, here are the people now so are beginning to realize that we can generally rejoice at the death of some people, yes, but do you think that if it is an enemy, it is written, do not sleep at night , how much do you sleep in general during the day, when you are at the front, when you are at the front, how many hours does not depend on you, but on the front, sleep depends on how they will form their column and start moving in the direction of our positions. that is, it's the same thing . they wanted to advance at 5:00 in the morning. it ended at 5 in the morning, and it started there at 2 or in the first, here or not at all it started, that is, this kind of thing, we break plans, yes. and if there is a rest, we really have plans for it by all possible means, especially the last weeks, deep even in the occupied rear , yes, it helps in this. yes, western weapons,

taking into account the change in training programs it really helps. that is, it gives us the opportunity to do our work more effectively , considering already during the period how long this war has been going on, people have learned to use it, so it helps. so you said that from the first days your the fighters came forward to defend the kyiv region. yes , in which district was it, and if there is an opportunity, tell me, for example, bucha irpin gostomel, how did the first combat actions and the containment of the enemy take place, and how did everything happen? well, how can it happen in the first days, i think like you, uh, in your direction. everything was so spontaneous because people came, commanders who

nominated themselves, they had the opportunity to get to know people already in the process of going on combat missions , that's also when such structural subdivisions as the national guard, the armed forces are starting to work together, uh, we also need to establish cooperation very quickly in order to act as a unit against they pushed here, uh, they also occupied defensive lines there, they immediately understood the full situation that this is a regular army that is advancing, it ’s not some kind of collaborators. well, but the result. i think you can see how it felt, that’s all. by what factors, by what actions did you understand that these were not the same orcs, but such orcs, orcs. well, as it

happened, they went to one of the vehicles, they came in the same uniform, then you can already understand what is wrong with this gang, according to their actions on the front, it feels a little different in combat, there are a lot of videos on social networks of how they shoot in the field, there are trees, but there are a lot of such good ones for those who say they are filming, but the result is, i think everyone saw that uh- e burned columns e-e destroyed equipment destroyed personnel the enemy, eh, and in principle, this is the result of the work of the units that defended kyiv, this is not only a unit, it is the merit of all units of the security forces , starting from eh . even some of them did not undergo training, they enthusiastically took the initiative and united

the defense of kyiv, and the work in donbas on the eastern front was such a priority, you can't even imagine when he had a rank in the east every day but with the guys who are here, with the commanders who led the direction here, and every day such questions slipped through. what is kyiv holding on, they say , you are also there, that is, we also motivated each other by the same thing that we knew if everything was going to be bad here, then some it can happen. it can be a failure, well, minimal weapons, but in general, every manager was in his place at the time. i mean the senior manager, that is, in any case, there would be no loss of control, but the very fact of understanding that something can happen here is like that. then it was a little er, so it could er, spoil the mood a little . and what a picture it was now, but in order for it to happen, you would have to turn around, go to vacate the house, well, here and there in all directions. somehow to do it, and personally you clashed with the

kadyrov buryats, they were very a lot, a lot, i’m saying there are all the units that came here to the kyiv e-e in the direction of kyiv after they took the east as their priority target, and the established direction of attack by the e-e forces of the russian federation became the east of ukraine, that is, donetsk luhansk region e is there there were already all of them in the kadyrivka buryats, er, russian troops, but they are very different, in fact, if this is a regular russian army, er, they move, as practice shows, in some columns, er, on er, equipment, they are more like this, and they have artillery reinforcements divisions, divisions, e-e, tank divisions, if these are such units as the buryats, who are looking at this, lightly armored vehicles, e-e, and basically these are such units as already or sweeps

or such a plan, that is, they are e-e, the first e-e, they do not go if it concerns such e-e directions there the populated demarcation of populated areas in the distance there exceeds several kilometers, so it already goes there regularly, for example, the akaderiv army is actually so prepared, and for you, i understand that capturing a kadyrivite is something special, so look here, such a thing, i think that their peculiarity is only that there is such a myth about them, i don’t know what they are there. well, somewhere do something like that in russian propaganda well, but this myth is dispelled here, i’m saying that there are a lot of such interesting videos that simply cannot be shown anywhere well, what did they tell me about? well, it’s directly about the work of their units that meet with our units and the result of those duels. well, then we all return, everything is

fine . he has you in his head. well, i'm sure that he talked to the russian prisoners and what do they say, what do they think? well, i can handle such a situation . there was communication with officers and communication with soldiers. there is a difference. er, but directly when we, well, a conversation begins with a person and understanding that he is captured, he will communicate as much as possible. in this way, in order to er save his life. that is what gives information what you want to hear. yes, of course . what is needed in order to, er, generally understand er, well, there are certain objectives of the task and all the rest of the questions, for that there are experts in the

directions . and ask the right questions for that to get an answer from them, and how many pilots are allowed, how many are not allowed, uh, there are some techniques, how many airplanes fly and the influence of that, what kind of bull is on the airplane, what is included in the complexity, that is, such questions, of course, see who were simply taken prisoner there, they do n’t even know what their it is necessary to ask, and that is why i say there is a whole system that simply transfers them, well, taking into account all of these issues, the treatment of prisoners, i mean, officers, then they tell that they consciously carry out these orders that regarding the fighters there is a lot of this, in fact , i don’t know what to even call it, uh, first, they came to my training, then they got confused here, they got lost, well, that’s all, that is, no

. after a short break, a few minutes motivating the video and we will return to the conversation, watch the project to find your kateryna osadchai from the search for the missing every monday at 21:30 until the statehood day of ukraine ukrainian history which we were taught a set invented facts and foreign heroes in a modern laboratory and on an expedition, we will uncover a huge historical scam in sweden, we will learn the secrets of the wife of yaroslav the wise, are our roots in western civilization in poland really, we will find the grave of king danylo to see the gift of the pope, we will collect reliable references to mazepa and recreate a real portrait hetman, which secret commissions rewrote our history. it's time

to fridays 21:00 in marathon the only news he returns to the air with you night watch and we we continue our conversation with the commander of the battalion named after kulchytsky with the call sign maxim. you can be called that too, yes, tell me what we started in the first part of our conversation about going to training, we didn't know if it was all fables or reality. of course, i will say that, analyzing the situation their, well, things that they carry with them, training, eh, what they prepared themselves, of course, these are fables, eh , this is a conscious choice of each of them. and orcs ot ot taka ot the situation, of course, they are coming here, i understand that for some money, uh, in connection with the possible impossibility of

realizing, well, myself as a person in general in some other directions, well, i watched russian television, and i saw that they russia is advancing on all fronts 300 to 300,000 rubles, there are still four or five thousand dollars, and about every month such an amount so as not to go to war, but they face each other with joy, you know, the ukrainian army of the model of the 14th and 22nd years. well, we already understand what the russians were counting on on what is their entry into our territory will look approximately the same as their appearance near ilovaisk, yes , did they then surround our units, and it was, well, then it looked very scary, but it turned out that the ukrainian army has really, really, really changed in eight years and who

better to ask about this than you, because in the 14th year you actually built this new ukrainian army that we have now and which gives a real repulse to the occupier. how did it change? how did it change? build such a loud statement. every officer, every military serviceman , contract worker, he participates in that change , starting with himself, starting with those updated programs that are already taken not from some kind of vigilante regiment. and i start from the experience of combat experience which it was acquired by the armed forces of ukraine and other military formations in order to reduce losses or in general to minimize them and more efficiently perform the task of familiarization with new types of weapons that we have and which we did not have now. we already have them and in this way very much

many tactical questions have changed in general, because you are now answering as at a press conference, well, the representative of the general in the army will want to hear from a person who, from the middle of a combat unit, saw how our army is changing in the 14th year, we remember that the soldiers went without anything, some of them didn’t even have a bulletproof vest. here is the situation. how has it changed with the elementary ones? it has changed a lot. in fact, i can only comment directly on the unit or what we are now together with. we are working and for your attention, that is, we have all the military personnel equipped, there are certain questions when there is shelling, there are questions when something is destroyed, but it is updated very quickly, even well, that's what i'm talking about. we have already reached that level well, the level that i have, that everyone has been provided for

, we even have some reserves in order to, uh, update everything, that's why it's been updated in these eight years, what's most important, what became the main factor of changes, uh, which uh, gave the opportunity to stop russia uh- eh in her offensive it is eh you say some tactical things there knowledge is possible, this is the provision of military personnel, this is the increase in the number of armored vehicles there , which became the key key, which really turned out to be a surprise for russia. in general, the first thing that happened was the adjustment of the system between the interaction of various units and their use according to their purpose .

these artillery units or intelligence units are already working together, avoiding such intermediaries as e-e there to ask for permission or not permission at this time, in fact, they have learned to systematically approach the situation and this system is already e-e implemented, it concerns communication e -e systems, i mean interaction between units of different directions sniper infantry or sniper reconnaissance artillery r-reconnaissance e-e that is, these are all e-e small mechanisms that are now combined into a large system, the commander is now how can you say it has the ability in this way to calculate the combat potential of your unit and the combat potential of the enemy unit, taking into account the data provided to it by all the mechanisms, i.e. the coherence of the troops is

a key part of 100%, and after that well, it's weapons and all these questions, that is, as practice showed in the first days of the war when people well, there were such statements that we are there with machine guns on the tanks, where are we all the rest of the forces in connection with the fact that there was no er. maybe there is also a system fully implemented in relation to ot for example, when our tank 1 moves, it must be covered with some kind of smoke, so that the enemy tank does not notice it, that is, the artillery has worked dynamo, after that our tanks go, take their positions uh-uh under the smoke screen , and in this way the infantry units are already drawn up in order to for after birth, that is, it is already a minimal system, it is also a connection, eh, uninterrupted, which with eh, okp, for example, or with the advanced command post, eh, and if this system is maintained, then it will be successful, but everything will be perfect, it

can't be difficult to still arise now in the army, er, difficulties arise, well, in the army, there have always been such problematic issues, this is communication and intelligence , in fact, er, means that we can now use . they really help to resolve issues with communication. well, plus our various military means of communication that are also used there in the mobile space. well, we will constantly refer to it because, well, we work in media and we also get information about the war from some sources of resources and communication is not always interesting, the position of the people who are there is this message about the fact that nato weapons of european models are some kind of panacea, but here we have six guns brought to us there, and they are all already here in kyiv oh-oh-oh

now it’s a week and we will start driving the orcs to moscow , what is your attitude to the european and well world models of weapons that are provided to us, are they really that cool and do they really help solve large-scale tasks in such a small number? and here you can do two things parties to understand the situation in reality. this is the beginning and this is the state of affairs today, eh. at first, there is a lot of support with european weapons, but the personnel is not quite ready to use it. this concerns only a few people who, well, you can say freely from the wheels, eh, met, that is, they left for one task with the calculation of one combat potential. and this is how the war happened. and that's why all these questions were

studied in a very accelerated, unreal super mode so that people could apply them. now a little is a lot it's easier because all the programs that were prepared before the 24th have been changed, well, they've changed a lot. i think that almost everything is possible, 90 or 80% , so now there are a lot more specialists for using these weapons but there is a simple weapon such as, for example, there. well, how simple, i mean in use for, i promise, which can be taught to use in love in a few hours, for example, or in a few hours, you can learn to use a nurse, i think in a few hours in a few hours you can only well until the packaging, listen to the pressure somewhere, measure it, yes, that is, here it is already more serious, the level of preparation is very uh, i think a lot of time is needed to study specialists in this direction , just like they said to the doctors, for example, when there was

covid, yes, why everyone they didn't become doctors then, but here it's the same thing as when there's a war. why don't families go to war, because now military experts are of course. maybe i'm talking about the standard. everyone should do their own thing if a person has undergone a certain training. for example, very much such a complex complex as uh-e haimus, it takes a lot of time for that. and right away, you can also bekhtar. it takes a lot of time to uh-e train these crews who will work with them. uh, each weapon has its own some such individual things that only the operator should know and use, which our guys are most excited about. yes, i wanted to say what weapon do you think has become the most effective in this war. more effective than the other it

everything has to work in a complex because if you will only use it, for example, how did you initially use the bechters, they used the orcs, for example, that is, they retuned to these frequencies on which they work there to take them into account, to destroy them, well , to try. therefore, everything must be a complex if there is one unit. it must be covered by another unit if there is a third unit. 70-80s. they are very effective. you could see them on the video. in fact, one shot can destroy an armored vehicle and stop it forever. it has already been mentioned that the main

achievement of our army over the years has been the development of our military tactics, the coordination of units, but in reality, the russian army, the ukrainian army, they actually have only one training manual for our of the armed forces yes, and we use approximately the same weapons on the front lines and approximately the same textbooks and notes that were studied there in soviet times, but there is more and more talk about the fact that the education of the new new new new secondary the class of officers in our army and the creation of new methods and tactics of waging war played a key role in what is the difference between the tactics of waging war in the ukrainian army today and the russian one, which is very you know, you can see it, this is the first use of the tools that we have, er, at the beginning of the war, here

is a small example, er, there is a thermal imager, yes, and the volunteers brought a thermal imager to the unit, er, well, everything can be watched, everything is fine, everything works, you can even use it on a machine gun put, but if you understand a little more, it can be used not only as a peephole, for example, you can use it if you connect it to a phone and watch from a closed position in the same way to protect yourself from artillery damage of fire well, why is the thing, that is, if we look at their equipment and technical equipment, they also use very interesting devices that they have there , for example, gps for guidance and laser guidance for adjusting aviation artillery, but they use military equipment, but of outdated models, and these are general military units of theirs i don't take into account now when they are planning some special operations there, there is separate training and everything else. and

we use, you can say, dual-purpose devices. yautely er these thermal imagers i mean only those that are volunteer they have a dual purpose and they have such interesting functions if a serviceman has figured it out and he uses it and it gives er much more opportunities for him to conduct surveillance and er not to be injured for example so he can do it already at a distance , so i think this is the first difference that we have already begun to use it more technically, i understand technically , it has developed like this. well, the main difference is motivation - this is that i have my own lands in at the end of the day and we protect our homes and we protect our families everyone started talking a little about what the army was like
