we will, but this is not yet mariupol this is not yet rubizhne this is not yet siverskyi donets you can still maneuver there are still some buildings uh where you can organize defense there and so on serhii gaidai, the head of the luhansk regional military administration, says that on the morning of november 14 the armed forces of ukraine in the luhansk region have already liberated a total of 12 settlements, but observing the dynamics of your opposition to the russian occupiers, in your opinion, do they have enough strength and capabilities to continue to go on the offensive, that is, there was a mobilization in the fall, now they say that they will not do without a single mobilization , i understand that they do not count the manpower and they do not spare the manpower and just

throw these newly mobilized russians at you mobilization is really interesting to them, i don’t think that they have the strength to create an offensive in the entire front line, but mobilization gave them certain opportunities, especially in something on our site. for some reason, our site is very important to them and they managed to create e you are accumulating a certain offensive potential and they have actually stirred up these units, they have one or two professional assault teams and before that they launch these uh-uh mobilized prisoners uh-uh they identify our positions on our positions, large artillery shells start to arrive

, preparations are taking place somewhere well, yes from four hours to half a day, under this shelling, more or less prepared units are already coming up, together with even for a distracting painting, but literally yesterday they let these unfortunate eh-e onto them the fire of machine guns was concentrated. well, we perceived them as stormtroopers. and after landing , they stealthily crept up more or less uh. well, that's how prepared the assault units are. are they wagners or cherliga or who are they there? sign who are they and a close shooting battle has already begun and they see they even use human power, they know for sure that we will destroy them only in order to divert attention from other enemy units, the enemy is not easy, the enemy is very cunning, very treacherous and has

no pity. there were cases when we stormed. well, because the dynamics are so great, there are areas where we stormed. there were times when we stormed it and simply stopped because there were two machine gunners. well, if we had dealt with them in the meantime, we suffered this exception. colossal-scale artillery shelling, which made an impression, and unfortunately i was wounded, but they did not hesitate to make an artillery impression on their positions, which we had not yet managed to occupy. that is, we took about two-thirds, and a third defended their rushes there

with machine guns, and they didn't wait until they fought back there , they didn't fight back, they just covered the whole area with artillery and mixed it up. well, they just mixed it up there, they could give us everything, both their own and ours, and that of others, that is , this is the phase of this war that they are now facing and other changes. if before they worked from gray hm during the day to gray again at night. this was already our job, we prevailed in night vision devices, thermal imagers, etc. now the tactics have changed, there are units that they use quite effectively at night. that is, these are some units of special purpose are quite well staffed and quite well prepared, i will tell you that to be honest, we showed them off, so we had time for two, but so far, we have not received any orders

to leave the command. city ​​than we , uh, with a normal amount of ammunition will be suitable, artillery barrels will be suitable and then we will talk to them on equal terms thank you thank you, mr. peter this was petro kuzik, commander of the svoboda battalion, major of the national guard of ukraine, which is fighting on the eastern front, friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social platforms, social networks on youtube and facebook , for those who are currently watching us live on youtube and facebook, please like this video and subscribe to our channels in on youtube and on

, in fact, the recapture of kherson is a very significant event, a victory for ukraine, and i can only applaud the bravery of the power of the ukrainian armed forces, in fact, the recapture of kherson is a very significant event, a victory for of ukraine, and i can only applaud the bravery of the power of the ukrainian armed forces and the people of ukraine. and how much it seems that now it is actually difficult to talk about what it really means, but i want to be clear that we will continue to support ukraine, provide everything possible to it and its people so that they can defend their position, and of course we cannot discuss anything about

ukraine. without ukraine, ukraine must decide how to conduct hostilities, we understand that war is coming and unfortunately the fact that they will probably slow down a bit but i have such confidence that russia will not be able to occupy more ukrainian lands so this is the position of joseph biden, the minister of defense of great britain ben wallace said that western officials congratulations or the return of kherson, they believe that russia is still far from surrendering and moscow can again announce mobilization if necessary. so, mr. colonel, how does the southern front look now after the liberation of kherson and what further offensive actions will the armed forces of ukraine take? well, what is happening now is being built first line of defense

along the dnieper stabilization actions are being carried out in populated areas that were liberated very much all territories were heavily mined and now there is dominance and demining is now being carried out i will say that this is a very big problem, in particular for the local population, for the advancement of our troops, literally before our eyes, when we were approaching my native village, which was also liberated, a charming village in the kherson region, and in front of us were also guys, well, three cars blew up, unfortunately, they were killed and wounded, this indicates that the enemy, preparing for the retreat, named the probable paths of the advance of our troops. set boundaries our defense forces have occupied them now

stabilization is underway i say once again we occupy the line along the dnieper we observe how the enemy takes up his defenses in order to impress him in the future, in particular the reduction of his offensive potential not to prevent the transfer of reserves e the approach of the force columns and the formation of some combat formations there with ammunition related to the immediate what will be the further actions i think that in the south it will be a defense, as i said, with exhausting the enemy destruction of combat potential and as for other areas, well, i think this decision will be made by our command, where in the future, if not for combat operations, where will it be where it is necessary to advance, where it is necessary, for example, to deter the enemy and also destroy its offensive potential, so i think we will see in the near future and now here the main task in this direction is, first of all, to build a fairly serious defense, to close the sky as much as possible

, to take control of all the villages of the villages, to return the law enforcement agencies there, to clear the mines and already start to correct the humanitarian situation what kind of crisis was created by the enemy? this is the first time to give and opportunity for food to come in. medicines are a very big problem. there is a big problem with medicines. return the light of the moon. there was no light. everything was already working today president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi visited the liberated kherson to journalists' questions why did he come to the city despite the danger, he answered that it is possible and that it is important to support the people of kherson because we we are really coming back and we are really raising our flag - said the head of state let's see

dmytro zelenskyi chips but what about khersonskoye, honestly, it is important to be here, it is important for everyone to be alive , the military takes risks, the daily journalists take risks, because we are also talking about kherson here, i think we should speak here and support samsung support people to feel not just wrong yes not only not only we work not only for we promise and we really give back it really raise our correction arrival zelenskyi in kherson simply ignited a whole pile of sand in the kremlin when putin's secretary said that he would not comment on the visit of the president of ukraine to kherson, he emphasized that this is the territory of the

russian federation, let's hear piskov, we advise you from the comments. we remember , mr. colonel, as well as medvedev and putin, and other spokesmen or representatives of the occupying army spoke about the fact that we came to kherson forever, is it possible that the russians tactically withdrew from kherson still plans to return there or at least develop a counteroffensive towards the city is nice to watch. when the russian authorities just shut my mouth and they can't say anything yes . our defense forces, our leadership is just uh . they were there when we started special operations

. and where did we drive them? our defense forces, because it concerns what you said. yes, i went to kherson there and saw all those posters with the inscription ukraine, russia, one people, russia is here forever. well, of course written in russian there, they didn't use the children in the photos, everything is so beautiful, but when you come back and realize that we did everything in order not to put what they consider their territory there, we already showed it in kharkiv oblast and here they showed us what everything is exactly as the russian federation thinks and it will always be like that. we have our own ukrainian people who will do as they think in the democratic elections, er, with the decision of the ukrainian people, it will be as er people, according to our constitution, think that it concerns whether the russian federation will return here. i think now it will be the task of the russian federation to keep even its subjects of the federation there, who have already

understood what is happening and will need to do something directly within themselves, i think it will take some time and they will be even more of a petition than there are questions a to add to itself , therefore, i am sure that russia will not return to the territory de-occupied by us, and i know that they are not counting on this, seeing what support we have and how the ukrainian army. i think they have other problems now, how to hold those territories. maybe somewhere they are thinking of developing some success in seizing some other territories, we know about it, our command knows that they can do it, that they will now transfer those troops that were released in order to e- to somehow compensate, at least within the country, for the retreat from kherson, so answering your question, of course, if we continue to pursue such a policy, it is

defense that we will pay attention to the army as it should be, we will pay attention to our forces security, this will never happen. well, i am not talking about patriotic education, this is already such a long-term perspective, but now despite the fact that we have to do everything to ensure that our defense security forces are always at their best and russia has no chance to return to the occupied territories that they had before this, and to hold in general those territories that they currently have under their occupation. the kherson border detachment has already returned to its permanent place of deployment in kherson.

raise the national flag, love was a ukrainian , ukraine! roman, there were a lot of videos on the internet about how the people of kherson met the armed forces of ukraine and that they had beaten the occupiers there and then gave them to our soldiers. let's watch a small video where a lady from kherson meets the liberators and not with empty hands. i’m going to bring it, i

’m telling you honestly, mr. roman, i know that you were in your native, charming place in the kherson region , met fellow countrymen, what do people talk about these seven or eight months of occupation, how do they meet the ukrainian liberators, and what do they say in general, well, how do they meet it, just as we saw in the personnel of the kherson region, it's tears, it's joy, it's er, it's openness, it's emotions, well, it's just necessary to feel it, i felt it, i felt it i will say, thank god, i saw it in kherson, and i was in my own village, yes. what kind of thing ? it is generally in kherson and in other populated areas points directly so that they were waiting for us. there are no such

people who came up and there even said something indifferently . therefore, i really feel, i feel that we did it not in vain . all this is thanks to those guys who gave your life and health for liberation. and as for the local population, they tell a lot of horrors. er, these telephones are electric, which are connected by wires, when this is torture, er, electricity is attached to the ends of the fingers and you wind them. well, the white boys told me that they beat them with shockers there, how the whole body was blue. the occupiers

mined ordinary things there, the places to which the people had access, they went there and came across landmines, and there was no medical aid at all. therefore, now all these questions will be provided to help the people who lost their skills of explosive injuries, what did the occupiers, what did the occupiers also put, so here, er, well, of course they were happy and told me with tears, yes. this is my video, which is now available, too, here you can see the reaction of our people, who were almost four thousand there, this is a grandmother who is standing with a machine gun, this is a machine gun that she had in the yard, right, i understand, no, no , she took it from our soldiers, and the boys let her hold it, and she showed her emotions, her emotions, this is our aunt zina, beautiful aunt zina. the main thing is that she is ready, that is, it is already clear that one line defense for sure there are novels in the armed forces of ukraine, sir, it’s

interesting to see your opinion about all these negotiations and talks about the negotiations that are currently underway and to which , in one way or another, the ukrainian leadership is pushing, because today we know that in ankara they are meeting in ryzkin with the director of the cia, but for now, how do they leak this information? there are no official confirmations, not from russian sources, and not from american sources, but the fact is that there are some negotiations going on. they will be convinced that it is not appropriate for them to tactically use nuclear weapons. zelensky was asked today whether he believes the kremlin's statements about readiness for peace negotiations. he said that we are ready for peace, but we do not trust the russians at what stage according to you and whether it is possible

this is in the near future ukraine may enter into some kind of preliminary negotiations or let's say so er talk and act in the direction of the end of the war or from the code of the russians are discussing when it can be at what stage from my point of view it can be at the stage when russia will withdraw all its troops from our occupied territories, then we can stand in for negotiations on reparations, sanctions, courts, and all these issues, so i believe that any negotiations before that, if russia wants to talk about what can be said when they have troops on our territory, what do they want to bargain for? yes, so that we stay here or we leave this territory behind. of course, they will take time . they need it now in order to consolidate in order to increase our combat potential. perhaps the partners thought, is this a way to solve the

problem, they will stop supplying us with weapons or slow down the supply there when they slow down, that is why i believe that russia should withdraw its troops from our sovereign territory and then we can already conduct negotiations on the further existence of our borders today permanent the representative of the russian federation at the un, vasyl nebenzia, said that the ukrainian draft resolution of the un general assembly on reparations to kyiv is legally null and void. legally useless and not legalized from the point of view of current international law, tomorrow they cannot fail to realize that accepting a similar resolution will increase the consequences that can boomerang back to them, that is, mr. colonel nebenzia,

who actually says that all the russian occupiers are saying that we are no good to anyone guilty for a couple of years , just like that. so we want from him, but the russian federation is threatening seven, and what can they threaten with? and this is what we were talking about at the beginning, when putin was there. even before the beginning of this full-scale invasion, when we remember his pathos and write when he could tell that he has the second army of the world and threaten in this world, the whole world has already seen what they represent themselves. therefore i don't know how to threaten someone right now, it can cause laughter even in small states that don't have large armies. that's why we need to go our own way, we need to work in these areas and in the information and military and international areas we have our business there of support, all normal civilized countries

support us today, panormans are at the ball , there is a meeting of the g20 and, of course, ukraine would like the russians to be thrown out of the g20, because even though lavrov went there and not putin, it is still russia is an aggressor country and a country that has violated all the laws of the world, well, there are laws that have been adopted in the world regarding security and all the laws and agreements that were in place until february 24, 2022, if benzia had not talked about the fact that this does not apply in international legal acts, but what they are doing is absolutely obvious to everyone or possible for the g20. it is not entirely obvious what you expect from

the g20 regarding russia's aggression against ukraine. yes, in addition to the fact that there will be general talks with them, they will talk to each other, they will talk to the representatives, and maybe there will be some additional help. well, plus there will be political pressure, even through lavrov. i think he was invited for that, from my point of view. maybe it's not like that in order to er maybe explain to him once again the position of the normal civilized countries there, the majority is there and the majority yes er is located , as for the fact that er, i see that there are also different positions, but we have also seen statements china because they, too, never once never once spoke about the fact that they somehow support it there and there are even facts that they are even losing this, of course it is

possible, but at first they had a different opinion, but now all of them, even those partners who putin thought that they were partners they hint to him that you got there from where you didn't come. you won't get out. and the fact that we once stood there next to you, tried to cooperate, makes us not shake hands there, so i think there will be some questions that putin will convey through lavrov . well, and today's meeting of biden's ic about the fact that its discussion is actually the situation in the world, there are statements that china and the united states of america agree that a nuclear war should never be waged, there are counter-threats for the use of nuclear weapons in ukraine, well, biden said, uh, all the dilpinnu about that the united states of america will continue to compete with the prc, but this rivalry should not develop into a conflict, and the negotiations according to you

are aimed, among other things, at influencing russia in the russian-ukrainian war, and is it possible in this situation to hope that the leader china will still listen to the leader of the united states of america and they will come to an understanding faster than russia with anyone in the world. well, i hope that what are these world players that if russia did not put now and this war, its full-scale invasion pushed it away there is not even in the background, yes. if they had days before. look, now it is completely different from a military point of view and from an economic point of view , so i think that the chinese perfectly understand that china communicates only with the strong, and in russia , only nuclear weapons, which have been around for many years , have remained strong somewhere there they have a question and there is a question whether the russians themselves know what their nuclear weapons are worth, yes, ma'am. of course, all this must be

taken into account, so i am sure that china will try to find strong rivals for them as well the main thing is not china, the main thing is china, everything else is if they help china to grow, they use it, if not, then they are not interested in the same with russia. thank you, colonel , for the conversation. on the front of ukraine, friends, i want to encourage you to subscribe to our youtube channel. if you are currently watching us live on youtube, please like this video and subscribe to our channel. well, you can also become a sponsor to our youtube channel, it is quite simple to do this, under this video, find the sponsor button click on this icon and choose the support package that is available to you in order to help our
