24th brigade and now she helps foreigners in the army , she could save the lives of dozens of our defenders, the story of lightning continues in our story, khrystyna parubiy will tell us everything, the example of a defender is not only defenders work for the victory of ukraine, and i can proudly say that there was no one after of what passed through my hands and would have died is an energetic and cheerful woman daria with the call sign lightning. she is a combat medic of the international legion of the armed forces of ukraine. she has been serving in the army since 2019. soldiers of the 24th royal brigade, and after the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, i began to help foreigners in the armed forces, at first i even thought about some purely combat specialties, since i have such a character, i gave, maybe there are some machine gunners there, or something else like a sniper, i don’t know,

but i think in principle, this is a good mood for a combat medic, since a combat medic must first of all be a military man, and only then he is a lightning medic, an unprofessional military woman, before the war she worked as a translator, she had a good job was successful, but at some point i realized that i needed to contribute to the development and salvation of ukraine. i didn't think about the army at the time, but one incident changed the life of a woman. hmm, where did i make a character for this game? and who did i model for the fact that he answered me in this game to some questions that bothered me at that time in my life? then in my life i

had everything and but i did not feel what i was doing something really significant that something will be useful to everyone what will be some kind of composition of humanity there ukraine at the end of the bite i remember that character went to the army then decided to serve or fulfill her desire even had an operation due to poor eyesight then studied to be a combat medic became the best graduate of her set and left to the front, i got my first combat experience on the svyatodar arc in donetsk region. to live, to live quite ascetic, and you know , before the full staff invasion, they never thought that i had become so military, ah, that is, i am

part of the system of the armed forces of ukraine. from the battlefield and rescues them, he has to work in difficult conditions because he helps the soldiers during the movement of the car but this does not prevent a professional medic in several years of service, he managed to bring dozens of soldiers back to life, this does not always happen it's easy if the car shakes a lot when i'm in a minute, uh, i was pressed with my back into the wall twice, like that, on the fly , then my assistant, because the car was shaking a lot, a-and they took the armored car so hard and held me when i was working on our wounded, he talks about the most seriously wounded who managed to to rescue during a counteroffensive in the east of ukraine, we were driving to

pick up the adviser and evacuate him, we ran into an anti-tank mine, and the car was destroyed, the driver and the person sitting next to him were seriously injured, and immediately my assistant was injured. only bruises then i did not provide help in russia because the car was not running in the legion lightning works for two professions here she needed english to save foreigners and help communicate with ukrainian soldiers some are enthusiastic about ukraine and want to stay here after our victory tells about a funny incident with a british man. i brought him to the hospital. well , he had a bit of an illness there. i brought it while we were waiting for the results of the tests. i talked to him and he looked bombed chuguyev is like you, how much do you think an

apartment costs here now, i am talking now in chuguyev very cheap because i will buy it for myself i want to live here with its energy lightning inspires soldiers and never gets tired of repeating that we live in a great country, therefore tirelessly helps ukrainian soldiers to win as soon as possible the enemy and work in a successful and flourishing ukraine khrystyna parubiy espresso tv channel thank you khrystyna parubiy there was a story about lightning thank you to our defenders and we will add another defender now to air maria chashka with us deputy battalion commander carpathian sich freedom legion in kharkiv oblast mrs. maria we congratulate you on the holiday thank you and your battalion good morning studio good morning ukraine i also provide i want to congratulate all our defenders and all of

our great stylish and unconquered country with such er, our great holiday, which only once again and again adds to our confidence that we are an invincible nation , because we are the heirs of the upa, the anniversary of which we are also just celebrating, and er, we see that the indomitable and an indomitable spirit is actually in our veins in our blood that's why everything will be ukraine and we will definitely win greetings to everyone mrs. maria, thank you for the greetings on our air invincible also because in us a woman can be a combatant carpathian sich of such a serious battalion and you are an example. well, you are performing the duties of a battalion commander right now. no, i am not. i am not performing the duties of a battalion commander. i am now a second. it was such a period. the moment when the battalion

was left without a combatant, you began to carry out these duties, bravely took them upon yourself and in the end essentially saved the battalion and it now exists and continues to function. please tell me that being an example of the fact that a woman can be not only a doctor a cook in the war and also a combatant, for example, or a deputy battalion commander, how important is the role of a woman now in this war? well, in fact, this is very difficult, and then the situation was also very difficult, and we managed to successfully hold out and win and to hold our positions and survive a difficult period only thanks to the fact that we have an extraordinary extraordinary team, we have an extraordinary battalion, we have simply incredible people, and each of us is a shoulder to the other, and this is the spirit of the volunteer

battalion that we transferred to our battalion in of the armed forces of ukraine, it is only thanks to unity and joint work and joint service that we were able to do this. but in reality, a woman in war can perform extremely different tasks, and our battalion and other units of the armed forces of ukraine in this they confirm it, they confirm it, well , ukrainians have always been extremely courageous, stylish warriors, and they were ready to defend and help to stand next to men and defend our native land, and our ukrainians are worth it, not only paramedics or doctors who serve in our country. female tankers are our staff who perform such work, in fact a woman is in the war and a woman is in the army, it is not exactly specific, but when

is not exactly right, for sure, but when a critical time for the state comes, it does not matter anymore what abilities do you have? how old are you ? only one thing matters. what you can do, what you can do. and everything that a woman can do. military specialties and they successfully cope with it, we are a great miracle of the war, you were not a cook and a doctor, you were a teacher and director of a school, besides that, and besides that, you were also a mother of three children, so, oh, at what moment did the transformation from a teacher and a mother to a military person take place it happened then when the muscovites attacked our land and at that very moment it started back in 2014, er, at the end of the 14th year, when my eldest son, er, vasyl, who was 18 years old at the time, er, came home and said

, mom, we have a war we were attacked by the enemy, and we are nationalists, you always raised us to be patriots . well, i made the decision to go to war. i am going to the volunteer battalion to serve, of course, for me as well as for my mother. it was such an emotional shock , but on the one hand, but on the other hand, actually we are nationalists, we are patriots. i always am i brought up my children in lviv, well, they are considered and convinced that the highest in our life is the most important - it is god and ukraine. therefore, when an enemy attacks our land, everyone who can help fights and defends with all the strength they can . and when my son went to fight, i i volunteered for a while as a volunteer for a few months, and then it became clear that i could definitely do more. at that time, i already knew our legendary commander

oleg kotin. i called him and said , well, i can at least help with something. maybe i i can eat, cook, you can. well, whatever. i was ready to do any work, but when we arrived at the unit, the commenter talked to me and said , well, today you will be my deputy. to where and my son no no we served in completely different units and he was in one end of donetsk region i was in the other end not before us even though there were a few moments when we were in piski changing our units it was a very touching meeting unexpected for us both of them when, er, in the sands. we were standing in transcarpathian sich, maybe they were part of the 93rd separate brigade, and they, as part of the volunteer battalion of the special unit of the ministry of internal affairs, went into the sands and er,

you met at the positions, then this is definitely a moment that i will remember all my life, and as a son, as a family, your family accepted your decision to go to the army, well , the spirit of nationalism always reigned in our family, and we all always did everything absolutely possible for our nation, for our country, and of course, it was very difficult for my children, certainly not to worry, they were very worried, uh, they constantly told me about this, that we were worried, but they never once told me, you don't have to, don't do it, uh, stick around, or don't go. they just said, take care of yourself, and we all hope and expect victory, and now we're betting it's happening the same thing, my daughter volunteers, uh, in addition to what she can do there, she helps with the household, she very actively volunteers, and uh, we all make

absolutely every effort we can to win, well, mrs. dreams, as our such demands of our activity as a teacher from quite a series , you have 15 years of experience. yes, the teacher's is already more. well, after all, for girls, er, for girls who want to join the army, what is your advice teacher's maternity leave for women, well, first of all, we must remember if you want to serve well , first of all, i welcome such a decision because our women are very indomitable, very stylish, very courageous and they can definitely do a lot more not only volunteers , although volunteering is also an extremely big help for the army but uh, i see not only on by my own example, but by the example of those women who are in our carpathian sich battalion, of whom there are quite a few, this and other units, that women can

be extremely useful in war, performing very different combat tasks, but in such a situation, you must be prepared for the fact that er, not only to the fact that there will be shots nearby, and not only to the fact that, well, you can die, as always, we understand this, we are morally ready for this and we must have such strength of spirit, but in addition to that, we must be ready for the fact that everyday life yours may be completely different, what tasks may er need to be performed both in the shower and in the trenches and not only in the medical machine, in fact, it may depend , it will depend on what tasks the unit will perform, you need to be ready for what er may to be um, living conditions will be, they can be extremely, well, extremely difficult, there may be no light, it may not help, there is no water, it may be cold in the dugouts, it may be very different

, er, you have to be, you just have to be ready for the same, so that and give everything you can for good victory is doing any job, regardless of what position you are going to or what military specialty you are going to serve in, but our women are so strong that they easily cope with them. in our unit, there are not only women doctors , there are women who there are psychologists, there are women who cook, and there are women who are absolutely in combat situations and are constantly on the front lines and cope with it very successfully, that is, if you have the strength of spirit, if your spirit transforms fear, if you are ready to do absolutely everything for the sake of of our victory, i am sure that you, dear women, you can also find any activity that brings our victory closer. of course , men have very different attitudes to the fact that

women take part in the war and are on the front lines, but that is correct because they are actually real men, the biggest task in relation to a woman is a man and to protect her, and they actually protect and help, but the contribution of a woman to victory can also be very large, and how do you combine these values ​​when you communicate with your uh, well, subordinates, in fact, let them retain their role as a defender and still be a leader, it can somehow be combined with well, i think that it is actually very easy to combine because uh, when, for example, in our battalion there is uh uh, good, uh, a benevolent spirit and a desire to only do everything to win, it doesn’t matter what kind of work you do, and we don’t have any such moments that people will have to be ordered to

pledge , there are tasks. such the feeling of what is there. you, the commanders, should be subordinate to you. we just go together. we go to victory together. we do this work together. that's why communication is very friendly and easy, and when there is an understanding. what we are doing is a joint business, then it doesn't matter. the engine is five nuts. is it the steering wheel, what is it with this mechanism of this car that is going, it is important to do everything together together and then everything will be fine then there are absolutely no such psychological moments ms. maria, we thank you and congratulate you and the entire battalion of the carpathian sich legion happy defenders' day of freedom. thank you to every defender. thank you for participating in the cooling. at the end of this hour, we will remind you that at 9:00 a.m. there will be a moment of silence for all the fallen

defenders and defenders and every ukrainian in this war, and by 9:00 we will have a military service at the end of the hour. expert and, as always, professional expertise is from serhii zgurets, we are waiting for him, for now we will add information about belarus, i wanted to start with mr. serhii, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of belarus volodymyr makei said that his country is introducing a regime counter-terrorist operation due to the alleged threat from neighboring countries, obviously from the side of ukraine, the quote was indeed information about the fact that certain neighboring states are planning provocations related to the almost seizure of certain parts of the territory of belarus, well, belarus reports that the declared dictator lukashenko decided to carry out a covert mobilization, the belarusian mass media reported that the decision on mobilization in belarus was made, it will take place under the guise of a military fitness check , our nila wrote on twitter, and emphasizes

publication that lukashenko made a principled decision to conduct this mobilization to increase the staffing of combat units, mr. serhiy , we congratulate you good morning what does this indicate and what additional threats does the mobilization pose for ukraine and the ukrainian army, as well as the introduction of a new regime on the territory of belarus , please well, in fact, it should be understood that for a long time , on the territory of belarus, there were constant exercises that were directed there to support a certain readiness there. but now the situation is changing somewhat, but not critically, let's see of the number actually eh eh russia the belarusian army is conscripted all the brigades that are currently in belarus are not fully staffed and now we see an attempt to start staffing these eh brigades how many forces are there in belarus in

general participation in hostilities is actually four brigades, which in total, if completed, will number about 12,000 personnel and three more brigades of special operations forces, that is, in general, it is about nine thousand personnel . 3-4 weeks at least, where they will simply call up those who were registered in these brigades, now also a parallel process is taking place when the transfer of these new mobs to the territory of belarus begins somewhere by october 20th and they are now starting to be loaded into e-e echelons in the nigorod region er, we are talking about 2,000 mobs that will be transferred to two training grounds in

belarus, so in principle this is a process of pulling up the russian forces, but we remember that these are people who are actually not ready to conduct combat operations and most likely there will be a period of time when the belarusian training grounds will be used precisely for the training of the russian military. is the fundamentally critical situation changing? so far, our general staff has said that the situation on the border is not changing . well, there are a maximum of 500 military personnel there, so for now it is more likely a game on this hysteria connected with the fact that we will continue to receive a significant number of troops on the border with belarus, although there in fact, the line of defense of the conditions for the unexpected advance of the belarusian army about

gifts from the russian federation and a general increase in the number of personnel to 100,000 personnel on the border with ukraine. is happening in belarus, england, or do you personally believe that belarus can join the war against ukraine and invade. i think that the dorian army does not have any combat experience, they understand the risks associated with the first strikes if they will cut our territory with high weapons and i think that lukashenko understands all these risks and is actually simply prolonging this game with putin by delaying the process of inclusion in real hostilities, i think the situation has not changed during these systems and in fact lukashenko will play exactly such a game because the beginning hostilities actually means the collapse of his regime not only at the expense of our respective

actions, but now also at the expense of new sanctions from the west, and actually the splitting of belarusian society, which is happening with the help of the results of seditious meetings and in the briefings, they said too much that they will hand over these systems for jamming drones, which have recently become the biggest, well, not the biggest, but very, very often threat to us from the sky. these iranians, or do they call them russian, how much will this help that the usa promised help us fight them in reality it will be a certain help in the fight against drones because, as i understand it, we will now cover certain areas with new air defense complexes that were promised to us and at the expense of the rap systems that we received from the american aid package which

12 titan complexes were announced. and actually these new samples announced by the secretary general of nato, we do not know the exact number, but i think that they can really complicate the exit of these drones on this one, because there is only a system related to gps guidance and these rap systems should be suppressed ah, but this will actually repel them from the aiming point, but this means that then they will hit the target a little further from the object that is being covered, so that the need to destroy these e-shachens still remains an urgent task - andriy, that is even if we use radio-electronic warfare to stop the communication of this drone with its corrector, and the gunner, it will still hit him somewhere, and you understand correctly , in fact, these shekets have no connection with the

corrector, it flies according to the coordinates that are laid down during the start, but if he maintains these coordinates during the flight, he goes only according to coordination, we cover important objects, if there is a safety field on this object, shahid simply cannot work there, flies further, and falls somewhere there the biggest so, all the same, the risk of destroying these drones must, well, there is a need to destroy them before they blow up some object, in general, sergey, how do you assess the change in the operational situation on the battlefield in connection with the massive use of these soviet drones. i think that you and i, as experts, are journalists, rather, we are fueling interest in this, in these drones , the situation on the battlefield, they actually do not change, they add to the fate of such uh, anxiety in

perception, but i repeat, these are not critical things attention to these complexes is more than real to go to the battlefield, mr. serhiy, what is the general situation at the front now, your assessment of it well, i believe that we are currently in such a period of recovery and stabilization because, relatively speaking, we are already conducting an offensive there on in the south since the 29th of the month before last in kharkiv oblast there since the 6th of last month, that is, in fact, we have been conducting offensive actions for a long time, the accumulation of forces is beginning, and therefore the dynamics on the fronts at the operational level there will be less active except for the direction to bakhmut, where there remains enough of a complex, not simple, but this means that

now the general staff has to transfer part of its forces to this area in order to give a bite to the same wagnerites who are still trying to move towards bakhmut in the format of these zombie attacks and partially avdiyivka maryanka, all other front lines. i think that they will be in a certain stabilization for a week or two. and what happened there in belgorod oblast ? an ammunition warehouse was detonated there the day before. there are a lot of videos now in both russian and ukrainian media about mass explosions. belgrade and the suburbs, for sure, no one from our side will admit what is happening there, but in my expert opinion, it is now necessary to frankly transfer our strikes and forces to the territory of the neighboring regions of the russian federation and increase the hysteria and militarization of the russian

federation because we see that the very process of mobilization itself is becoming a blood clot for the very process of strengthening the troops, creating a significant tension in russian society, and i think that measures with the infliction of e-e create significant problems for the regions adjacent to ukraine e-e this is one of elements of influence on the russian federation is enough effective influence and the destruction is specific . then we understand that this is something that, well, in a certain way weakens the russian army in general , because many bases of warehouses are located in adjacent regions, they are afraid of the hymers it is to the border, then the risks increased, they dragged it already to their territory so that there is a clear war . do you think such cases should continue. military facilities or infrastructure facilities

as well, because we have a lot of appeals, people write in social networks and even post the coordinates of russian tez and chp plants, which are located in the immediate vicinity of the border, in particular, the belarusian kursk region, lipetsk region, they say, please, this is ours legal military targets, should we strike not only at ammunition depots and military targets, but also at critical infrastructure stations and centers, please? well, i think that there is a time for each target, and so far, i am a supporter, conditionally speaking the destruction of military facilities directly, because from the point of view of the rules of warfare, they are not subject to any restrictions, the critical infrastructure raises questions as well so that we do not become on the same page with terrorists. to be honest

, the same as nato countries and that i do not want to use nuclear weapons against russia not because it is not necessary to get on the same level as the enemy to fire at critical infrastructure objects, it is correct to say that these are terrorist attacks because they are not directed against military objects the whole world will find out, or just as an impetus for the meeting of the big seven and the priorities of rammstein , as happened on october 12-13, a-a terrorist country with which we are forced to fight. thank you today to all our defenders, mr. serhiy. serhiy zgur zgurets, who is analyzed every morning by the director of an information consulting company, the defect express, a moment of silence for all dead ukrainians at the hands of the russians
