glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. the occupation, did they support the ideas of the so-called dnr, or did they force them, or were they simply grabbed in the middle of the street , sent to war, but you should know that if you are still a ukrainian, even in the occupation, they go to their own well, let's add maria chacha, deputy commander of the carpathian sich battalion of the national freedom legion guards of ukraine ms. maria i congratulate you on the independence day of ukraine i congratulate you to your brothers and sisters who defend ukraine alongside you with weapons in hand and i see a problematic connection in us now we will try again to contact ms. maria, it is clear that when you call people who are on the front lines, it is not

always possible to communicate and hear and see, then i will briefly announce the information about today's shelling, which was carried out by the enemy on the territory of our country , there was information about the fact that explosions were heard in khmelnytskyi region, there was a video of smoke rising into the sky, no place, that is, no location, of course, no one indicated anything. we are waiting for official information from the regional military administration about these explosions swaddled in the territory of the khmelnytskyi region, where it is not yet reported, there were also reports of explosions in the rivne region and in the zhytomyr region , rockets were also shot down over the vinnytsia region, and it was said that a russian drone was shot down in the territory of the chernihiv region and enemy objects were shot down in the territory cherkaschyna ms. maria returns to the conversation ms. maria once again congratulates you on independence day, unfortunately, unfortunately, our internet connection is slowing down and now there is information about what about what in

as a result of enemy shelling on the outskirts of mykolaiv , a large-scale fire broke out on the outskirts of this regional center, now they are trying to put it out, and the fire is also burning in moscow. what exactly is happening in the capital of the aggressor country? large-scale fire, the fire covered an area of ​​more than 1,500 m², according to the russian mass media, the fire broke out in a three-story warehouse in the market during the liquidation work, one person was saved and handed over to the medics for assistance, one more person died. well, if there is no fire in moscow, if there is no fire. this is good information for us, because unfortunately for them, they are our enemies. well, how do we fight with our enemies? we are with the enemies

, serhiy zgulets of the day, director of the defect express agency and host of the military summary of the day column serhiy, i congratulate you on independence day, please, as well as society, and about the impression of technology on khreshchatyk's organs, about what will be the dynamics of hostilities on the fronts, about all this in a moment of course, first of all, he will once again congratulate our viewers on independence day, an extremely important holiday in the life of our country, and it so happened that there is a certain symbolism in this, that this holiday day we also look back on 6 months of our resistance to large-scale russian aggression, as a telling illustration of this - this a peculiar parade of enemy equipment and weapons on khreschatyk, where all kyivans and guests can see the complete discrepancy between the ambitions and capabilities of the aggressor.

scrap metal as the embodiment of such a destroyed myth about the strength of the second army in the world, where every sample of the anti-spartan tank, flamethrower system or howitzers was destroyed by ukrainian soldiers. of course , these are only the interim results of this war. 5 million people are involved in hostilities in one form or another, and today it is worth remembering that six months ago, our partners gave us extremely little time to confront the russian military attacks for a maximum of three days, the arakhists were oriented in general or on an instant victory, on the overthrow of our defense, primarily due to the actions of the fifth column and traitors on the word of the replacement of the political leadership, the destruction of our elite, the actual genocide of the ukrainian people, however, the

russian and foreign special services miscalculated regarding the readiness and ability of both our society and our armed forces to carry out resistance. the state of our army, despite all the shortcomings that relate in particular to the preparation of the same territorial defense or other aspects was much better than in the 14th year, so i will now give the opportunity to continue. we will simply add to maria's conversation the cup of the deputy commander of the battalion of the carpathian sich legion of freedoms of the national guard of ukraine, we already have a connection finally and fortunately for ms. maria once again, i congratulate you on independence day. thank you very much. thank you. once again, the studio wants, first of all, such a significant day for our country. viewers who sincerely congratulate our entire country on our day eh and i sincerely sincerely believe that in a very short time

we will congratulate each other on the significant victory day mrs. maria, we will actually ask one question at a time, i will ask you a more generalizing question , and serhiy already maybe according to the situation at the front, i understand that you are now in kharkiv oblast to defend our land and will enter into a fight with the enemy . so, if our battalion is holding positions in kharkiv oblast in the raisin direction, today is such a symbolic day. we take the same as the day independence is also taking place in our country, many volunteers have volunteered to join the carpathian sich level in the legion of freedom in general, and i have now gone to meet with such people who volunteered to join the battalion before us on independence day and are returning to their combat positions i will ask you this question. please tell me , mrs. maria, the war has been going on for six months now, what

gives you the strength, the main thing is physical and moral strength to keep beating the enemy, he has a lot of this enemy and equipment and manpower, he sneezes and sneezes and we stand and stand we embrace and beat and even go into counterattack 10 forces are taken, tell me, in fact, you are absolutely right, the enemy is pressing, pushing , we are breaking him, he is again somewhere there licking his wounds, we are gathering forces, and again we are sleeping, more and more and in particular, in the last days, in the last week, ours is very actively attacking it , using all possible weapons, and sometimes implementing everything against ours, who includes those who are defending the lines in the direction, including in the direction where our battalion is holding positions zakarpatska sich freedom legion in general, but the morale and fighting spirit of our fighters is extremely high. where do we get our strength

from ? we understand that we are fighting a strong enemy, but we see how morally and socially weak they are, and this gives us strength, it gives us confidence, it gives us faith in our victory as soon as possible, and the fact that, as it is now, the last days in particular, today we are constantly being notified and volunteers are arriving, and our god supports us with something and adds even more confidence in victory, and this is a sign that we all firmly believe in victory and firmly believe in the armed forces of ukraine. and please tell me , are there enough weapons now? and the main thing is artillery, because i talk to my comrades in different areas of the front, they say that we need more artillery

. how do you do it there, there is never too much weaponry? the more we have, the better it will be, the more we have long-range high-precision weapons, the more effective our struggle will be, the faster we will win, but uh, we pour them so much, we pour them, and they constantly carry, and it's not executions, it's the police, sometimes they give personal details and we have information about what uh their consultation is very often they are not enough people who in fact all this happens and where they should be standing can play quite a bit because there is a specific area and satan by the way add your own because his spirit then a dream thank you very much for finding the time thank you for your service in

to the defense of ukraine, may god protect you, your brothers, your services there at the front, cup , the deputy commander of the carpathian sich battalion of the freedom legion of the national guard of ukraine, in the kharkiv region, she is now defending our state, as well as thousands of our soldiers. serhiy continues, please, yes, i would like to remind you about enemy losses because these are significant indicators and we should know or understand them the strength of the ukrainian army which destroys the aggressor the enemy was preparing for war honestly speaking 10 years 12 but within six months he lost a significant amount of equipment, in particular, if we mention tanks, then 1,900 tanks were destroyed, this is actually more than half of what the enemy had in combat state before the start of the aggression, 4,000 armored combat vehicles of various levels were destroyed, and this is about a quarter of the stocks that were in the state of the russian army now they are withdrawing all that is left for the battles, but even when they say that the reserves of the rashists are large, then all this is not entirely true, there is a negligible amount

of personnel, that is, 47,000 enemy soldiers, according to the general staff, more than 150,000 wounded. now in the mountains, there are significant problems with the selection of personnel, the lack of personnel, the enemy is now trying to compensate with mercenaries to whom he promises significant payments, but which, of course , does not pay yet, and the reduction of requirements for candidates takes convicted criminals, as well as those who even end up in detention centers to carry out the so-called burial, i.e., to recruit cannon fodder in the occupied territories, that is why the enemy now has no opportunity to translate its tactical successes into operational and strategic advantages cannot achieve political goals by military measures. therefore, we forced the enemy to adjust their plans, and this is extremely important, so in particular, fearing an attack on kherson, the enemy is shifting the forces to the south

, significantly slowing down their actions in the east, in turn, our armed forces at the expense of new weapons are already able to destroy enemy targets in the depth of the enemy's defenses and tactical and in operational depth actions and now we are talking about the beginning of the actual third stage in the format of hostilities, which should be connected with the accumulation of forces and the implementation of the plans of the armed forces to de-occupy the territory captured by the enemy, how will this scenario develop, what time periods, in what format, what risks exist . if we have now our guest, we will talk to our guest, for now, we will call him, and actually this is the third stage of the process related to the liberation of our territories

- it is evaluated differently, in particular, it was just recently this is the statement of such a general who says that the ukrainian army has not yet acted - there are not enough forces for such a powerful counter-offensive, primarily due to the lack of equipment coming from western countries , but we think that at first this situation will change, or today it was just announced that a brand new military aid package from the united states, president joe biden announced on independence day that almost $3 billion worth of military equipment is being transferred, the largest military aid package ever received by ukraine throughout the entire period, now the indicators of military aid reach more than 10 billion dollars when we talk directly about the supply of military weapons that in this package , this is primarily air defense systems, which we do not know exactly, artillery systems and

ammunition, which is extremely important for the fact that artillery really never there are not many unmanned aircraft complexes and radars, as stated in the statement of the pentagon, all this is to ensure the continuation of defense in the long term, so here it is for me i didn't really like the word defense, because we are actually preparing for a counteroffensive and we need more offensive weapons, of course we include long-range systems among such offensive weapons . in particular, we also introduce tanks with atakams, we include other armored vehicles in particular, just recently there was such an important publication in the american publication hills, where 20 respected military and diplomats spoke about the need to provide more decisive assistance to ukraine, they also spoke there about the air defense system and actually about atakamsa as the main prerequisite for conducting offensive operations and, interestingly , a publication literally today in the washington

post, where it was created about the fact that the new package of american aid should include systems that ensure that offensive actions are carried out and allow ukraine to regain its territories. but it is possible we still do not know the full content of this new powerful package. and it is indeed possible that there is a transformation in american approaches that will allow ukrainian army to have more opportunities to carry out counteroffensive actions, first of all, to liberate the south of our country and other regions. i understand that we do not have a guest. then we put a full stop in this section. thank you very much serhii hryhorovych , director of the agency from the director of the defense express agency and host of the military section the results of the day were with us. thank you very much. it's independence day

. congratulations. on independence day, they said what our independence tastes like. let's see how independence can be felt . our independence was given to us, and real independence is washed in blood. those who fight for it know it, and this is the ability to fight for independence and hope for the future, and this gives us strength. now we are fighting simply for life, this is the life that we choose for ourselves, not under dictation, for me, under decoration, if it is our independent, free , prosperous life, you are the taste of the earth, which is given to the

skin, the taste of blood and death, which permeates the air well, things are more valuable than life, we fight not just for land, we really fight for the fact that our children had a future behind us, children, our families, our parents , for whom we fight, our land helps us, even if my children did not see it, the salon taste of tears and i live independence is a responsibility that rests on your shoulders. if we make

concessions again today, then tomorrow we will not have a state or a nation, so we have only one thing left: to persistently crush the enemy, this full-scale invasion was once again being prepared, ukraine has turned the people are emotional to say so. i think only in this way, when we will all be like one single ball, we will be able to defeat the enemy and the people in battle, and you know that not everyone will return from it and fall alive and remain with you forever on the conscience and in the memory of what even if the war does not end, we have already written our line in history, and in any case, we have already won, in fact it is

impossible, we are strong in spirit, morally stable, we will endure everything and we will become a mountain for ukraine, independence has a voice, it is the voice of our ancestors, they died in battles in gulags swelled with hunger and bones paved the roads of the empire, there was a war of liberation that lasted for centuries and we have a unique chance to end it, we went to europe or america to seek our fortunes so that we could build our own europe here in ukraine there was no desire to go anywhere from here we have everything for this there is a big bald there are mountains everything is so wonderful ukraine who can only dream of flat

letters and villages asking for help under the ruins of their destroyed houses everyone says we are waiting for the use of force we don't care what the consequences will be but you beat this evil spirit from here the voice of our children who did not choose the time and place of birth, but who had to live the times of the great war, boys who are 18 years old pass by and now let's see where the eternal memory of oleg heroes and forever glory to the living will stop us. thank you

defenders and defenders of ukraine, i have the honor to live with you. glory to ukraine. thank you. greetings. if you can hear and see us. good evening, i hear you. happy holidays. happy holidays. i will remind our viewers that we added viktor kyvnyuk to the broadcast. he is a reserve colonel, yes, an expert of the center for defense strategies, mr. viktor. yesterday, literally, your center for defense research published an interesting analytical report that has the name of the 6-month war, the prospects of victory and the main factor chose to actively participate in the preparation of that document, and one of the theses of this document states that, relatively speaking, russia has no opportunity to continue actively hostilities, and ukraine does not yet have the necessary

capabilities. can we say that we are now entering a new phase of the war, the so-called war of attrition, where the main role is now played by the economic potential of the states and not the capabilities of the armed forces, or are such conclusions still premature your opinion i would not say that this is a new phase , it was present long before the beginning of the hot phase of the conflict, war is always a confrontation of potentials, first of all, it should be taken into account that the society that wins in a war is mentally more aspires to victory here, clearly ukrainian society hmm, they occupy a much more advantageous position in relation to the confrontation of potentials. yes, both sides suffer losses, some more, some less, definitely at the start, completely different economic conditions, on the other hand, ukraine is supported by the whole

civilized world by taking the side of good, which definitely significantly increases the economic potential ukraine in particular, should this be considered a new phase ? probably not. will the balance of power and means have a strong influence on the further course of events? yes will be a war of attrition. well, i wouldn’t call it that. the report also claims that the russian federation’s troops are currently the weakest in their modern history. they have lost the strategic initiative and we have the opportunity to push them out of ukraine. what time indicators can be attributed to the fulfillment of this task by ukrainian actions of the army purely to conduct counteroffensive operations to restore the territorial integrity of ukraine, in my opinion, it is approximately 10 months

, respectively, there should be certain intervals between operations operational pauses for carrying out measures to regroup, prepare for further actions, well, at least 12-14 months. in my opinion, we will still have to conduct hostilities . that there are several conclusions that in fact winter is more difficult for the enemy because the logistical route has been delayed for him and there are problems with supplies. do you agree with such conclusions that the enemy will spend the winter with your armies than our armies, in general, it will be winter very difficult for everyone, both for the participants in the war and for the civilian population, both in ukraine and in europe, who adapts to these conditions more quickly. i believe that the armed forces of ukraine have 8 years of experience in conducting

combat operations in field conditions, in particular, in the winter period, that is, for us it is not the news of certain adaptation will require military units that were formed anew or found themselves on the first line from the reserve. accordingly, a lot of questions are avoided regarding the purely material and technical support for e-e operations in winter. an interesting nuance is that we receive a lot of foreign aid, including from countries with completely different climatic zones. are we ready to provide fuel and stylish materials for equipment that comes to us from australia, for example, that is, canadian will

work for us? conditions on the training grounds on the territory of your country. is friendly belarus a completely different experience, and the experience of organizing the rear directly in the conditions of the conflict is what we saw in february and march, well, this is complete helplessness, that's why you correctly formulated the armed forces of ukraine better and faster adapt to the war in winter, katya, in winter, can we expect that due to our actions in the south , due to the use of long-range systems, we can force the enemy to leave the kherson region, how far are such expectations possible, i think that we will not be able to affect the logistics infrastructure complicates and slows down the actions of the troops, but does not change the plans of the command with only one blow and

the destruction of the control system logistical support, it is impossible to force the enemy to retreat. victory is achieved by offensive. today, we have not created conditions that would guarantee us a successful attitude, so i think that confrontations with variable success in the kherson direction will continue until one of the parties creates such conditions for itself to obtain offensive systems bmp tanks in follow-up assistance packages from the united states can change the balance of power in our favor precisely in the southern direction and can we take advantage of this before the new year or it seems almost certain that everyone is convinced that the victory on the battlefield is won by the side that has more motivated infantry. in the 21st

century , the infantry can move on foot or on buses. advanced units, but also all the components that ensure their actions, starting from anti-aircraft defense and ending with field baths and field kitchens, everything must be fast and mobile accordingly, to saturate the armed forces with means of mobility is an extremely important task, but i remember the year 2014, when separate motorized infantry battalions were formed and the main means of mobility of such a unit was removed from the national economy, the equipment was 10 years old, then a new car could be considered mostly 20 or more, respectively, if this issue was not resolved well, during the last eight years, it should be immediately resolved here,

first of all, by putting on the backstage the units that will advance, without this, nothing will work. thank you, thank you very much for these explanations to our viewers let me remind you that it was viktor kivylyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies, for today's military results, i have everything, i pass the floor to my colleague. yuri fizer will join us, well, first of all, the well-known, well-known crossroads in new york, brighton beach, is now called ukraine way, it has been renamed, i'm there very by the way, very many russian immigrants live well, now they will no longer walk in brighton, but in uh ukrainway well, you know, this is such information that pleases. now, what is sad and tragic today is that the enemy is hitting the territory of our state all day long, unfortunately we have losses from what is already oz
