donbass is coming to an end, writes oleg sentsov, the enemy has concentrated its last efforts on attempts to capture bakhmut and has significantly reduced activity in other donbas areas. bakhmut, we will defend kherson with freedom in the coming weeks, did the turning point on the front, which was so awaited in july and august, take place now? there is a good trend and a decrease in the dynamics of fears and a decrease in shelling. i have already told you the reasons why this is happening, but it is not yet a turning point. i consider such statements quite valuable, because we

are dealing with an ambitious, degraded, but armed to the teeth enemy and resources, unfortunately they still have and any, you know, in military analytics, military analysts, any potential opportunity should be considered as what will come and you need to prepare for it and uh, the real military experts consider for this easy compression as an accumulation for a strike a, in which direction this strike will be needed to understand and be ready for any, whether it will be a strengthening and a strike on the donetsk region, for which we must go to the administrative borders, or will it be there maneuvers there, uh, well, for example, they will intensify the aggression in kharkiv oblast, e for in order to hit donetsk after a while or vice versa, this is a show of the enemy on the goal, it should pass development and analytics, but you have to prepare for

everything, unfortunately, there is not yet a turning point, there is a positive trend and movement towards this turning point, but the turning point will happen very easily, these are obvious things when there will be enough accumulated power of means in ukraine, namely counter battery systems, a sufficient number of rsz systems with sufficient ammunition, when there will be accumulated strike groups, it is not easy, but researched attack aircraft, experienced headquarters, when there will be enough people to carry out assault actions from our side, that is what we call counteroffensive for t- you need a large number of bulls, a large number of highly motivated people who know what to do and not just like a cannon , well, they will go on an assault to carry out the order for that certain specialists are needed for planning and the implementation of these plans. for now, we are exhausting the enemy

in defense and are preparing to go into a counteroffensive. when this happens, they should know. in the central headquarters, when there will be a sufficient number of our equipment that will suppress their artillery, but now they have enough of an advantage in this regard. equipment that will protect our freezers from the sky, enough bc for our artillery to prepare bridgeheads and suppress their defense forces, and enough assault units that carry out this operation well, i understand that everything is being prepared, plans, i don't have the right to divulge and so on, but now, that's when the turning point will come. when we start to drive the enemy from our land, now it's just a decrease in dynamics, and temporarily, no more, no less , you have to understand that well, there's a week -two this is definitely history will not end, this is a protracted war with a

steely character and the patience of ukrainians, who are fighting no more, no less, for survival, and it must be understood that here it will be necessary to apply the maximum human, moral, and financial resources that's all. as soon as we reach this protection, then we will feel that the enemy will run, and catching up with the enemy is the most important thing not to stop there, the main thing is to stop our troops on the administrative borders of ukraine. and maybe not to stop it, as the headquarters decided so, mr. peter, well, since we we always talk about the east and the south because there are active hostilities and we constantly mention the northern front and the northern border . and it is quite large for us belarusians, more than 1,000 km. over the past few days, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine says that the belarusians there are carrying out radio location development, something

is working there, how likely is it that the russian federation can use the northern front in order to further pull away the armed forces of ukraine from the east and south, threatening chernihiv, kyiv, well, the sumy region is constantly under fire there, because in this way, the russians let it be known that they, too, are the belarusians and the self-proclaimed president lukashenko there, what is their role in the current at the current stage war can be decisive and to what extent the army of the republic of belarus can play along with the russians and this is about what we just talked about eh for

the military there is no it is possible, we should consider it as such, as it will happen, and accordingly we are preparing for their meeting . we will not build defensive waves from there, danger will definitely come from there, so ukraine is already ready for this arrangement, the fighting capacity of the belarusian contingent should not be underestimated, because they are made up of devils, what is yours to lose, i mean berkut, their amon and those who soiled their hands with blood serve

through the regime, because as soon as russia loses this war , the end of this nano fuhrer lukashenko and all his posypaks will also go to trial, they understand this and for them it is in principle there is an obvious chance for survival, so the question is when russia will force the invasion of lukashenko in ukraine, this is a matter of time, the first, the second, believe me, this will be the most difficult, the most inconvenient moment for ukraine, their goal is obviously to cut off the logistics of central ukraine, western ukraine. these are ready-made plans. they are waiting. well , so to speak, the rocket to launch is what we are aiming for. i also have no doubts, because especially the volunteer units, in particular, our svobodovsky has such a longing to help belarusians to free themselves from this and to wake up and

become free people. therefore, it is obvious that the day when belarus invades ukraine, it will be the last day of belarus as such a current state and it will already exist in a different format. but this it will be a difficult situation for us, too. add 40,000 additional enemies. well, it will be necessary to cover a little in order to correct this at least, and there is also a mistake when they underestimate the training of the belarusian army, when he says that we will cut them there in a day for two, actually, they will be reinforced by russian commanders, there will be reinforcements of various kinds, there will be wagnerians, chvk-shniks, they will have clearly written plans to act, they will try to act quickly enough, and it will be a problem, but what i see is the

ukrainian general staff and the ukrainian armed forces you are not just ready, but in principle you understand how to solve the questions. thank you, mr. peter. this was petro kuzyk, the commander of the freedom battalion, a major of the national guard of ukraine. we are talking about the current situation in the eastern and southern on the fronts, friends, if you are watching us now on social networks on youtube and facebook, please like this video, subscribe to our social networks. well, read our news on the espresso tv website. the formation of free ukraine mr. andrii glory to ukraine glory to the heroes i wish you better health glorious ukrainian nations thank you thank you for joining our broadcast i know you are on the southern front in the mykolaiv oblast tell me how things are going there now

the situation in view of the reports that the enemy is withdrawing its forces in the kherson and zaporizhzhia directions, the situation continues to be very tense. almost every day, the enemy is shelling the territory of the mykolaiv region, both the city center and the mykolaiv region. or wounded, and in such a state, let's say, mykolaiv has been living for a long time. mykolaiv and the mykolaiv region now lives in such a way. now, in relation to the enemy, the enemy is really forming

operational strategic reserves in our direction, obviously accumulating more manpower and equipment than is needed for defense, fearing a ukrainian offensive on kherson and the liberation of the temporarily occupied territories of those means that the enemy continues to accumulate - to accumulate in the e-e, let's say this direction can be used as a reason that he will make attempts to seize the mykolaiv region or new objects e-e on others in the direction of zaporizhia, maybe we'll see, we'll see . but i think that it is impossible to carry out such accumulations covertly. we really have a very fruitful work with the temporarily occupied territory, where almost

every eye informs the enemy about the behavior of the enemy , we can clearly see the volumes of personnel equipment, and i i think that if the enemy, having accumulated these troops, tries to implement any offensive maneuver, there is simply no better moment than the fire damage of the accumulated forces for the ukrainian side, the enemy will still suffer devastating losses and will not be able to implement these scenarios because, let's say, the blitzkrieg that he formed in february turned out to be a failure, although there were shortcomings in the preparation for that stage, now the ukrainian side clearly understands the aggressiveness and preparation of the russian occupation army and he won't be able to jump us and that's why he definitely won't be able to

compare potentials. well, we'll see. i think that for the enemy, all these actions will remind , using chess terminology, of a stalemate , and each next step will only worsen the position of their positions and in the end will bring our victory closer, we simply should not assume that the enemy is some fool who just spoils the mood, this is a very dangerous, motivated enemy who has demonstrated his willingness to kill the civilian population, not only the military, and we must to take the aggression of the russian federation very seriously, to comprehensively prepare for the worst scenarios in order to simply emerge from them as winners, because firstly, we did everything necessary for preparation, and secondly, god is behind us and the truth is behind us lands, so we don't have a scenario other than destroying the enemy and

defeating him, i just don't allow even a percent of the thought that we will allow the enemy not only to advance, but also to gain a foothold in these territories that he temporarily controls, so that we just tune in to the long game and time will tell when will we celebrate our victory apiary the situation today in mykolaiv oblast p andrew the current russian-ukrainian war is called an artillery duel e yesterday hmm the president of the united states of america joe biden approved the provision of aid to ukraine in the amount of up to 500-50 million dollars according to the minister of defense of the united states of america lloyd austin to the video package 75,000 ammunition for artillery systems as well as missiles for heimers defense minister of ukraine oleksia reznikova believes that this is an investment in security well,

considering the amount of weapons that is now coming from the western countries, do you feel in the mykolaiv direction, uh, lack of any weapons, lack of any weapons, that is, what are the armies armed with now and how much of these weapons are there in order to to hold back the counteroffensive of the russians, although we are constantly talking about the fact that it could be a counteroffensive of the ukrainians in the kherson region, the war will definitely be won by offensive actions, the war will be won only by defense, because both the russian occupation army and the ukrainian army, our glorious army, will try to identify weak points and beat eh with the aim, let's say, of weakening the enemy to the level of inability to conduct further combat operations, it is obvious that during such a confrontation eh, we and the

enemy bear losses not only in manpower but also techniques, but what is going on at the same time, what is our current balance, let's say estimates of the strength of the parties, the means of the parties, the russian federation has almost no allies, and it uses these endless reserves from the time of the soviet union of this old junk, including missiles that this war is not only of artillery but also of missile systems, the enemy also very effectively uses missile strikes to damage military or other infrastructural facilities and we can assume that the enemy is alone in the confrontation with ukraine, which is supported by the entire democratic world, and the entire democratic world made a decision after

seeing that the ukrainians are capable of defending their land, it would not have been like the afghans who simply laid down their arms in front of the taliban, who were many times smaller, but it so happened that they did not resist , the ukrainians is desperately feeling opposition every day to this opposition to russian aggression, which allows the west to make a decision to invest not only material resources, not only politically, but also practically, but not by supplying us with weapons and this weapons, in fact, now significantly strengthens the capabilities of the ukrainian armed forces e-e conducting hostilities against the russian federation in the mykolaiv oblast m-3 works in the same way poltava is what the americans call e-e m-m 37 artillery systems here work in the same way along the front line hymers are moving they are extremely effective and accurate. they are not only effective in terms of inflicting fire damage, but they are effective in demoralizing the enemy, and

i know that ukraine is currently working on supplying not only western weapons, but also ukrainian developments that also strengthen the ukrainian troops. that is, we have the comprehensive support of the west, which will allow us to emerge victorious from this confrontation. all that is needed is high motivation and readiness to wage this war until our victory . we will cleanse our land of the remains of these t-t tesars that we have to throw out beyond the state border and then t-t only consolidate our status as a victorious army by joining nato that we enshrined at the level of the constitution. well, after drawing conclusions, never allow yourself to be weak . because he wrote in his memoirs that

a sweet country has no allies. for our support. i think that the aid package signed by the president of the united states is not the last , he will always be, let's say, keep his hand on the remote control to supply the necessary weapons for ukraine to speak about it not only the united states made identical statements to the prime minister of great britain, boris johnson, and even if he leaves office, any of his future colleagues, let's say, will also hold the line of great britain, where the european union will also support ukraine because, first of all, they support democracy, and by supporting democracy

, they support, support the western world and western values. although there are many discussions that the west is supposedly incapable, it is mainly russian propaganda that wants to devalue this support for ukraine which is now being formed er, er, well, in order to help us win this war, you don't have to believe in such slander , you have to believe in yourself, believe in the fact that we are capable of resisting, capable of not going through this cycle of trials for our ukraine, for our nation and to emerge victorious believe to believe in ourselves that we are on our side, the truth is on our side, and god is on our side, and we will definitely follow the victory, no matter how long it takes, how much we pay, we simply do not have a chance to put this situation on hold or postpone it and delegate it to our children and grandchildren continue to live in war we have to come out of this course of events from this race as winners i think we have everything going for the best

unlike the previous generations when they fought against the soviets uh almost single handed uh there i think we have now a much better position and it is a sin not to use it for the benefit of our victory. by the way, mr. andrii, germany is also strengthening our position, despite all the complaints of the federal chancellor of germany today. in the bundeswehr this is simply not true , it is implied that germany is not helping scholz says that at the beginning of the war, germany provided a full range of weapons and ammunition to ukraine - this is a complete departure from the ironclad policy and all federal governments of germany banning the export of weapons to crisis zones, we delivered everything we had, anti-tank and anti-aircraft complexes, mines

, guns, if not ammunition, and non-lethal aid , since then we came to a more complex and expensive system, that is, howitzers, tanks began sometimes you don't know what kind of germany it is, it doesn't even exist in the bundeswehr, it will now be in service in ukraine, no, i don't know, i won't guess, but i, uh, from the position of uh, gratitude, i would treat every country that, by virtue of its capabilities, helps everything is important to ukraine, as they say in ukraine , it is easier to beat a father in a group, and it is this saying that should serve as a foundation for our diplomats who have to convince those who hesitate or those who, in our opinion, do not help us enough in the supply and provision of the necessary not only military but by other means to strengthen the ukrainian

army of the ukrainian nation, and it must be taken into account that we will throw these eyes away to dissolve into allies , the russian federation is used very aggressively, first of all, to boil down and put the partners of the defendants, and i would not hmm allow it in social networks well, it is frivolous to perceive them like that, it is frivolous for those ukrainians who are trying to figure out who and in what way they help us , everyone helps the way that our diplomats created, and where we are from each other countries have a comprehensive, let's say, active support position for other countries in one or another, let's say permanent, established diplomatic or legally defined positions need more time to adapt them to the realities in which they

have to make decisions. therefore, one should be understanding and not reproach rather, it is better to work harder in order to speed up the conditions in which it will be easier for diplomats or politicians to explain to their voters why they violate certain established traditions and why they supply weapons to ukraine, this is not supporting one of the parties is maintaining er and restoring the destroyed balance of power that was established after the end of the second world war, of which germany was also a part, and what they tried to avoid comprehensively publicly er supporting ukraine was actually wrong because we now we are saying that the russian federation, having destroyed this stable er world order, will not actually stop by seizing ukraine, as it sees it, it will destroy country by country and the

european union and er all er this contract er the security sector in the world in order to dominate by imposing its aggressive foreign policy to advance the agenda of the kremlin, this cannot be allowed in any way because this order is degrading not only for the russian federation, not only for ukraine, it is for the entire world the system is very destructive and we cannot allow the russian federation to win on the territory of ukraine . despotic terranic e-e orders to which the russian federation belongs or other despotic and

terranic structures that are now our opponents , so i think that we are on the right path and it is the world order in ukraine that supports us. to our victory , therefore, there is no need to trust in the pace, we just need to roll up our sleeves and although we hope and pray to god, god has no other hands, well, except ours, therefore, we must just do our work, try to do as best as possible and one day we put it under our heads and we will celebrate our victory, we are one more day closer to our victory, this is what we need to know, this is what we need to be motivated to know that we will sum up only after our victory and i think that it will be in our lifetime

. even in our period of history, at the same time, mr. andrii, russians are now spreading a new delusion, well , in particular, yesterday, the deputy head of the russian security council, dmitry medvedev, was thinking about the restoration of russia's borders, saying that georgia should be completely occupied so that such a country would never exist in kazakhstan, it's true. after 10 hours, his assistant said that medvedev's vkontakte account was hacked, and what he wrote is not at all clear , where it appeared on his page, but there was a very long text, let me tell you a short quote for myself: after the liberation of kyiv and all the territories of little russia from the nationalist gangs who preach their invented ukrainianness, russia will become united again after that under the single hand of moscow, led by the slavic people, and we will go on the next campaign

for the restoration of the borders of our homeland, which, as you know, does not end anywhere, well, you understand, if medvedev had written on his vkontakte page, putin , the fools, in general, understood what it was - someone hacked his accounts, he wrote that uh, well, something that is usually written when accounts are hacked, but when such a long-winded contention is about the fact that we are now going to restore the borders and kazakhstan will take georgia for itself, then it is unlikely that some stupid hacker did it, but most likely it was done by the deputy head of the security council of the russian federation. how do you feel about this constant attempt of the russians to intimidate everyone and everything that we will do to russia right from the pacific to the ocean to the atlantic is an attempt to show that they are the masters everywhere and now they will restore great russia, well, there is a golden

rule, drink eh to social don't go to networks , this rule can be directly applied not only to medvedev, but also to the rest of the propagandists of the russian federation, but if from jokes to a serious assessment of such statements, this is not the first time that such statements have been made by the kremlin. their foreign policy actually are always formed exclusively on demonstrations or on the use of force and this is also not invented by the kremlin now and the bolsheviks who, by the way , came to power as a result of the rebellion and they formed and seized power on the territory of the former russian empire as a result of the rebellion and now with this rebellion, for some reason, they complain to countries that change their leaders in a democratic,

legal way, and you know them there in a certain sense - it's a phobia to blame others for that, and i would underestimate such aggression because they know for with the help of such aggression, they react to uh, this is the implementation of their aggressive foreign policy. they try, you know, like an old patent uh, somehow to adjust themselves. they cannot offer anything uh to encourage people to join the vector or path of their development because only by force is trying to subjugate and keep the peoples, well, listen to this rhetoric, it has failed
