on my part, there were certain signals sent to him and the situation happened. so, at the moment, there is no communication, now there is a partial mobilization, it affects , in particular, ukrainians in the territory of the occupied crimea . do you know anything, whether your brother fell under it? will come to the ukrainian land in the form of an occupier , we will deal with them exactly as they will pay back in the end, well, it must be very difficult for you, in fact, this is absolutely in relation to partial mobilization, as according to your forecasts, this step of vladimir putin will affect the situation on at the front of the russian federation, as a result of the mobilization, we are replenishing those military units that have suffered losses, and the mobilization resource is already on the territory of the donetsk region, and we

are aware of similar effects in other directions, and with regard to further actions, the said mobilization will lead to the creation of new military washing on the territory of the russian federation, with the help of which the military-political leadership of the russian federation and their military command will try to carry out regrouping and can even influence the reformatting of their strategic offensive operation, they can form more than three army corps in four divisions and ten organizational structures such as regiments of 10 e-e anti-seletic e-e divisions of territorial troops and up to 3-4 brigades of territorial troops. that is, in in principle, such a powerful force, but its preparation requires time. and in order to arm them , it is necessary to remove a certain amount of armed

military equipment from long-term storage of the premises, the preparation is also carried out it is necessary to prepare the mobilized ones as well. well , from the fact that you say that they are arriving, it means that they are not being prepared among those mobilized who are in the territory currently occupied by russian troops, first of all, they send the mobilization resource that was recently released and, accordingly, that which e-e needs the least time for preparation, that’s why this is the situation, but in any case, these are not regular troops, these are servicemen who are mobilized, they directly had a break in the passage of military service and they are not so much and let's say , how were the soldiers before that, and the number of units that you mentioned is predicted in terms of numbers -

these are the 300,000 and which were officially declared . but we must understand that the enemy will not stop there and will continue to mobilize in general in the russian federation, the prepared mobilization resource is somewhere around 2 million people, and in general their mobilization resource is about 29 million people the russian federation is striving to resolve the war according to the goals they set for themselves, they will increase the number of mobilized. therefore, we should expect such a situation and be ready for a solution on our terms. prepared mobilization resources - these are those who can be mobilized by already prepared mobilization resources were recently released in addition to this they took part in relevant training

activities while in civilian life a relevant military assembly some training in within the framework of their existing programs operating on the territory of the russian federation , can this partial mobilization stop the ukrainian counteroffensive in those directions where it is now taking place, everything will depend on the resources that will be used by the enemy of the russian federation and, accordingly, on the resources that will be supply us with our western partners. our friends are, accordingly, in this struggle for resources, of course, western weapons, western aid, it is more recent, it is a high-precision weapon. transfer we very quickly master it and use it during hostilities,

accordingly, if we receive the necessary amount of military equipment in time, then the advantage will really be on our side . the fact that russia and belarus have agreed on the deployment of a joint regional grouping of troops. do you understand how this will differ from what we have on the territory of belarus? we should already understand the following currently, approximately one thousand russian military personnel are stationed on the territory of belarus . six russian attack aircraft are also stationed there, as well as launchers of an operational-tactical missile system from the dprk , and 12 s-400 missile systems are arriving,

respectively, on the territory of the republic. belarus is taking measures to prepare the airfield network and infrastructure for the deployment of the relevant troops and forces of the russian federation on their bases and an increase in the number of an increase in the number of the armed forces of the russian federation on the territory of the republic of belarus, in addition to this, it was announced today that in the territory of the republic of belarus, another check of the readiness of the armed forces of the republic of belarus for action was announced there, it was announced that there will be training and exits to designated areas that is, another demonstration of their readiness and an increase in the degree of tension will begin. you are now responsible precisely for the northern operational direction, and therefore i will ask you whether your i think that this joint regional grouping

, or in general, the increase in the number of russian troops on the territory of belarus, in particular, probably at the expense of these newly mobilized ones, could be used for the repeated attack of russia from the side of belarus on ukraine. well, of course, it will all depend on the conditions of the situation which will take place in the future, the level of military threats is measured by the corresponding number of troops and their combat potential, and something is measured by a number, and something is measured by a measure of effectiveness, respectively with the accumulation of the relevant forces and means of the armed forces of the russian federation, the joint armed forces of the russian republic of belarus will create a threat of a repeated assault in the northern operational zone, in particular, on the city of kyiv, but the level of these military threats is constantly measured

by the intelligence agencies of our partners we are provided with the specified information in a timely manner, and we , as professional military personnel, are also responding to the increase in the level of this military threat. we are also taking measures to ensure that our troops are in of the appropriate number and with the necessary weapons and military equipment with the necessary higher combat potential of them well, as i understand from your public statements and interviews, we are ready for a possible re-offensive of russia from belarus on kyiv from the side of the republic of belarus, as of now we are ready, we must understand that those troops that are accumulating in the future on the territory of the republic of belarus will increase their degree of readiness and their degree of aggressiveness in

relation to ukraine, respectively military command will also give birth to our forces and means, as of now, the situation is fully controlled, and the ratio of the strength of the means to equalize the forces between the means that are currently on the territory of the republic and belarus allow me to affirmatively say that, as of now, we are fully ready. i am sure that in view of and direction current responsibility you analyzed what was right and what was wrong at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, in particular why the russians managed to pass so quickly from the belarusian-ukrainian border to the outskirts of kyiv in fact. do you have an answer to this question? how did it happen that it happened so quickly? well, the war was started, and the armed forces were repelling armed aggression in the peacetime states.

after the declaration of martial law in ukraine , mobilization began. we must understand that most of the armed forces of ukraine were in the east and carried out tasks as part of the joint forces that launched the operation in accordance with the law of ukraine, and all threatening directions were covered by the armed forces of the peaceful states time and, accordingly, their numbers became such that after the mobilization we were stopped and later on in the direction of kyiv, in the direction of chernihiv, in the direction of sumy, the enemy was repulsed and the enemy withdrew , that is, everything depends on the number of troops. but what about the danger that the russians will go to ukraine from the side of

belarus in those areas where they have not yet gone like this? zhytomyr, rivne, volyn region, or there, do we understand how it might look and are we ready for that ? we are preparing well, this is one of the tasks of the aggressor to cut off the supply routes of western weapons that we receive from our partners, and such issues were worked out even in peacetime, when large-scale aggression began. accordingly, we understand how this works, and accordingly, we already have the necessary measures take what you mean that it can be used to disrupt the sources of supply, we understand that the strategic offensive operations of the enemy have several tasks that they had to perform at the beginning of the armed aggression, the aggressor tried to advance quickly in

several directions with the aim of changing power in ukraine and occupying a larger territory of the country. when the enemy realized that a quick military operation would not be successful, he then switched to a war of resource depletion, accordingly, if he is doing it now, that is this war has already lasted longer and here, as i mentioned, very important resources that we will receive from our e -porters, respectively, they are supplied from the western border of ukraine, and therefore we take this very seriously. ask on february 4, i was at the control post located in central ukraine a

few days before the invasion, we gave the appropriate order documents for the withdrawal of all military units in the area of ​​combat assignment in accordance with the plans that each commander in his direction accepted as a basis, accordingly, there were five land groups under my command, a group of naval forces and part of the air force, some groups remained under the command of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, general zaluzhnyi, respectively, around 22:00 - on february 23, kateryna is coming to us

. at the control point, no one was sleeping, we arrived at the workplaces and monitored the situation, what was happening. and at first shelling began with the beginning of the attack on our e-e units of the state border guard service of ukraine at the beginning of shelling from the territory of belarus from other directions reacted, carried out management of the repulsion of the blows of the operative's air attack, and also through the commanders of the groups, carried out the repulsion of the offensive on land, it was not scary to look , we were somewhere, since the beginning of february, we were constantly in this state and were preparing for such actions, we clearly monitored the data that we were provided to the intelligence partner country by our intelligence agencies

, therefore, arriving in such a state, you already get used to the fact that it must happen from a psychological point of view. and when did it happen ? it was calm, it was just given to the appropriate command, the order was received, and the report was reported to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, such ordinary military work was going on, namely, the scale, did it surprise you, because the highest political leadership of ukraine said, at least at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, that they would focus on what an invasion is it may be that several options were considered from the east of ukraine, we military people must be ready for the worst option, that is, the next of all those the directions in which a large-scale invasion took place, in general, for several

years during the exercises, we practiced offensives from all these directions, which is how the invasion took place, and always practice the issues that need to be worked out in order to repel the offensive and in the future to restore the lost position, i.e. they were not surprised, because they took into account various moments of surprise, there was no surprise, it was just such a good state of combat work, training exercises, scenarios that you considered, and the offensive from the crimea, you were one of those representatives of the higher military command of ukraine who during the last year, it seems to me, at least until the full-scale invasion, communicated this topic of the readiness of the ukrainian troops in the south and for the south were responsible

. such, well, one of the most painful moments of the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the combined forces of the armed forces of ukraine - this is a military body that was created according to the corresponding reform and appointed to manage the troops of eh, accordingly, when eh in 2019 was created by our command eh, we eh did not have subordinate groups, the first group was given groups in the south and in the future, after amendments to the law of ukraine, the transfer of the group was planned of the united forces in the east of our country on the territory of donetsk and luhansk regions, respectively, as for the group in the territory of the kherson part of the zaporizhia region, it performed a stabilization action in accordance with the level

threat that was increasing or decreasing, this group was saturated with troops, in particular in 2021 , as a result of conducting exercises, including the fact that there were no troops in the occupied territory of crimea, and this group also received additional forces that were stationed in the relevant areas, everything depends on the number of troops and the level of relevant threats before a full-scale invasion, the armed forces of ukraine handed over a set of troops that operated in certain directions noted earlier, most of them were in the territory of donetsk and luhansk regions, so,

accordingly, they went to the main directions of the enemy’s actions and there was a military unit deployed, there were not enough ukrainian troops in the south when the russians entered as many as there were in the armed forces of ukraine a-a regarding such actions, we can compare and you have already compared the actions in the kherson direction as well as in the kyiv direction, just as in the chernihiv and sumy directions, it should be noted that the armed forces of ukraine and those commanders who led the respective the groups there were experienced generals, including in the kherson direction, they directly managed those military units that were under their

command. of ukraine at airfields at other military facilities. and by the way, when they later talked with the captured airmen and asked them questions, they could not realize that the russian airmen were captured. why didn't they completed the task, they each had a corresponding target with the corresponding coordinates, and after launching missile and bomb strikes, they returned to their airfields, reported to the leadership that all targets were destroyed in the future, in particular, in one of the directions when enemy aircraft flew into the territory of ukraine. they did not initially engage in battle with our strike aircraft, because we thought that where did they come from,

we destroyed them all, therefore, in such conditions, in conditions of massed missiles of air strikes, in conditions of such a rapid advance of enemy forces, their numbers of these physical forces and the combat potential of the armed forces of ukraine and have been fighting since the morning of february 24, so we see that the enemy in the first stages of his offensive operation quickly advanced in the kyiv direction and in the sumy direction and in the chernihiv direction in particular and in the kherson direction, the armed forces of ukraine in those conditions performed the tasks of heroic defense of the ukrainian land. there are different versions. i am sure that you have seen comments about the possibility that this was treason on the part of the local authorities. it is possible that there was negligence on the part of the local authorities or

the military command that there were rumors that chongar was demined, bridges were demined before the invasion, what would you answer to the people who for seven months have been constantly appealing for such information on the territory of the kherson region ? of individual bridges and infrastructure it was carried out since 2000, in the 16th year, in the future , the troops who performed the tasks and constantly supported those systems that were initially laid in proper condition during the time when this direction was under supervision in

2019-2020. it was carried out at these mines only with the replacement of heaters because due to certain clothes and according to time they came out out of order, the number of barriers to the mine, as it was laid in 2016, was slightly increased and not decreased in any way; accordingly, the lines were checked, along which the management of undermining topics or other objects was carried out in relation to the specified e directly e-e in the fall of 2021, all the objects and all the mines of the explosive barriers were thoroughly checked and they were real, and also in the second year of 2020, a day before the invasion, somewhere on february 22, a command was given to the

units that were performing tasks there through their commander to bring all these objects before the destruction of readiness number one e-e, in the future it was transferred to the unit that was responsible for the direct implementation there was e-e directly on the guardrails of one battalion, the commander of this battalion, he carried out the management and undermining of these objects, respectively, as we saw at the beginning of the aggression, the hero of ukraine was assigned to a serviceman from this battalion who carried out the rescue of one of the artists in the henichesky direction at the cost of his own life, how the fighting took place there and how who

acted on this can be answered by those commanders who directly performed these tasks there, but the main thing is that the number of explosive barriers did not decrease, everything was in working condition and, accordingly, the command of that general and the officers who were on this in this direction were provided in a timely manner. and another direction for which you were responsible already after the southern one, this is the eastern one. if i am not mistaken, you were responsible for that until june. it was a very difficult period. we remember, hmm , that there was a lot there was a day of casualties at the end of may, when the president of ukraine zelenskyi announced here, i will quote, that we lose 60-100 soldiers killed and about 500 people wounded per day in the battles in the east of ukraine, and we know that fortunately this figure is already much smaller than what was determined

such large losses then, first of all, such losses were due to the artillery fire of the enemy. i think that we are going to conduct hostilities in our country. the number of soviet-type ammunition decreased in the future thanks to the work of the government of ukraine and the state as a whole. those ammunitions were found in third countries and their supply was resumed. later, thanks to our partners, the quantity of foreign military equipment and those ammunitions was further increased and their quality significantly increased accordingly in order to ban the work of the enemy's artillery, our artillery needs such a set of ammunition rockets or such a

number of accurate ammunition that will definitely stop the enemy's artillery fire, that's why the russian empire had a significant advantage in relation to our artillery, accordingly, at that time they won in the future after the saturation of our troops with artillery from partner countries, respectively, and the number of rocket ammunition, it changed the situation significantly, or now the ukrainian troops are armed for in order to win and not only to deter the russian offensive. i have already said that the war was started with an outnumbering of the enemy's forces. in the first months of the hostilities, the armed forces of ukraine suffered losses and weapons of military equipment and spent the corresponding missiles and ammunition. the state carried out an appropriate

set of measures and the supply of appropriate rockets and ammunition was organized and failed to stop the enemy, the enemy was stopped in some directions , he liberated the occupied territory before that in other areas, the struggle to reduce its combat potential continued in order to advance, it is necessary to reduce the combat potential of the enemy , it is necessary to stop it and by applying complex fire damage to make it less strong so that our strength is greater than his strength, such an approach in military affairs in the future when we began to receive samples of military equipment weapons, we will open partners accordingly , ammunition for them we managed to turn the tide

of hostilities in certain areas at the moment almost the entire territory of the kharkiv region has been liberated. we have made good gains in the course of counteroffensive actions in the kherson region. but in order to reverse the entire course of the war , more weapons and more ammunition are needed, and it is desirable that these supplies be rhythmic precisely at the time when it is necessary, therefore we hope that our partners will also help there, in particular, i think you will not deny that the appearance of himers missile systems from the united states in the ukrainian army significantly affected the course of hostilities in our the benefit is that after russia escalated, for example with this one with partial mobilization, there were hopes that maybe this would push the usa to give ukraine longer

-range missiles, the so-called attacks, but we see that they are not in a hurry so far, or do you count on the fact that in the end they will be given well, i hope so. and in terms of planning, no, we have to understand that the relevant decision is taken at the highest military and political level, including in those countries that provide such assistance there. vyvyvna noticed very good work, many logistics centers were destroyed, many supply chains for the armed forces of the russian federation located on our territory were destroyed, the bridges over which this supply was carried out, therefore, i hope a
