well, thereby exposing kyiv from the north, it all happened, well, one-on-one, i said on the air where we would be. the question is that i treated. well, i expected at least the active work of the special operations forces, which in the event of a threat only of invasion should have placed weapons in places of possible occupation so that the partisan movement in the occupied territory would not seek to burn the russians with what to pour their tanks, it was not done on the contrary on the eve of the invasion literally in a few days , representatives of the surrender resistance movement met with the representatives of the special operations forces and they said that there would be an invasion from day to day, they told us that we are paranoid. come on monday. well, as a rule, if you remember well, the first missile that hit the territory of ukraine was at the headquarters of the entire special operations in the city of berdychiv, you understand that's why you know to be

honest, there was not enough evil. in those days, due to the sabotage of many now heroic generals there, who became great regiments against this background, some of them , at the same time, uh, another part of the armed forces of ukraine kept this invasion, let's say, on the go were deployed in combat formations, i am now talking about our valiant, heroic 72nd brigade, which was hardly joined by volunteers, if memory serves, about 300 men, they joined right from the wheel. as they say, you began to carry out the commands of the 72nd brigade of volunteers under the leadership, well, we had such a call sign, er, yozhik, they called us volunteers, our boys, more precisely, they said yozhiks, that's exactly it, this is the first day of the war. i remember very well how we ran, looking for where our thighs were. i know very well i remember how we

we were looking for rockets, how did we drive them? i drove them in my own car, even just in a private car, and the same tetyana chornovol, as everyone knows very well, in her electric car on a red zhuzhyk, drove the tug together with the rockets there on the northern border of the country , therefore, it is actually missing on the eve of the invasion, the sense of reality was lost on the part of many, i say once again not all, but very, very many people who should have made decisions, it was catastrophic. speak now, the first impressions said, we will now turn to mr. ivan, but mr. ivan, you know i, well, everyone understood that there would be a war in my place, so it turned out that uh, my colleague, i will not say who he told me in a week, what will happen, and actually for the day before

, that is, on wednesday afternoon, my colleague also passed by and said that based on his information, it would begin in the morning. that is, there was an understanding somewhere, but there was no understanding until the end of what exactly would begin. i would like you, ivan, to give more information about what exactly invaded ukraine in all directions and the south and the east and the north, because again the numbers vary from a hundred there, 20-130 thousand to 200,000. and they say that if you take even these reserves that were standing , then a total of 220,000 special operations were involved, all this number is 2,200,000 . with various stickers by experts who speak of a full-scale invasion and, in addition to these 220,000, what exactly was there? because you know, crossing the border with pistols is one story . for many it was expected for many it was unexpected eh there at three o'clock in the morning or even in luhansk oblast the first eh columns crossed the border it was still the first of the

night when this invasion actually began please actually this is what is interfering here is an interesting breakdown by numbers well, because it is certain that to find out about what you know there, literally up to a hundred soldiers, we will be able to when we receive certain documents for years there, which is obvious. after the war, we will be able to read them after the victory in the trenches. was able to pass because, again, why am i not going to specify the numbers now, because 202,20,000 you may well be part of the support in general, the personnel army can enter everywhere, these first so-called and the first and second army corps e- for these militants in the temporarily occupied donbas who were actually subordinate to the 58th army, the remaining 220,000 . so we can even count it in this figure. even these soldiers of the black sea fleet of the russian federation, who were, for example, on the moscow cruiser who were sent where is the snake island known? here is a

question worth asking. so, why did russia accumulate such a large group, which, fortunately for us, was not provided with adequate intelligence, which would endlessly go ahead of him and scout the positions? it will be possible to achieve such a landslide effect that there what is missile strikes on air defense objects on objects of the military-political administration will achieve their goal that missile strikes on deployment points of our military units will achieve their goal and that there is a landing of some unit there for special purposes. well, for example, the same 45th special purpose brigade, or let's say the landing of these units seems to be the 76th airborne assault division. well, the numbers can be a little confusing, exactly in gostomel for them to make a bet that the management system here

will really collapse and you just know that even if they do n't come here, it's noisy, as it was in the example, with sums that initially the columns of the first units from the first tank army arrived in sumy, as if they had all arrived in sumy, went on to carry out their operational plan to go there to poltava region and then through boryspil to go to kyiv, then something went wrong with the russians and they decided to return directly to sumy, getting stuck there in street battles. by the way, why is the question? why was such a strategically important city like sumy forced to deploy its terrodefense literally from the wheels without significant state intervention? this is a separate issue. it is important that the other point is also that the russians are obviously in order to break through their way to the south. according to some data, they even hit our artillery positions with miskander missiles. well, why pave the way for those troops of the so

- called 22nd black sea army corps ? friends, i think i will say 58 armies of the southern military district and here and in some ways, if you take out the political moments that were obviously there for half a day, then uh, our troops made a very fierce, long gym, why themselves the russians didn't expect that well. let's say that in some ways the intelligence of the russians works a little better than the radio technical intelligence, and for some reason we were saved by the fact that most of the strikes, for example, on the positions of the russian air defenses, they missed, accordingly, there was something to protect our cities - these are other bodies of the military and political administration that did not fall under the missile attack. well, the main thing is that it is still worth outlining, regardless of how large the army was, in fact, 220,000 or 200,000 or 100,000 the main thing is that our society was not frightened

, the main thing is that there were people of good will who knew how to make difficult decisions literally on the go and even, for example, who wrote just that, mr. igor, that there were even heroic women who, you know, had the courage to take out anti-tank missiles, count on their own, save them on these red cars and save what to introduce to burn russian tanks on the approach to kyiv, that's how it is, igor , we're moving now, well, actually, i'll just remind you fresh in the memory for our viewers that let's say there was a column of 12 km on the way to kharkiv, if i'm not mistaken, the column was somewhere around 8 km, 10 km to kyiv, that's how it turned out, they somehow gathered there, a column was going that stretched for 64 km and was visible from the satellite, and the western media wrote about it at the time that the 64-kilometer-long mechanized armored convoy of the suna is in kyiv, there is no expectation that kyiv will be taken, now we have a video, so i will ask my colleagues to find it there, where amagel

macron is listening to volodymyr zelenskyi on february 24, what volodymyr zelenskyy says, how the president reacts france is not just a president of france, a state that has nuclear weapons, that has an aircraft carrier, that, in principle, has a good army, how does it react to this? now they are looking for me, they tell me that it is ready, but here it is. the sums of chernihiv, e.e. turier, also found great forces and also from e.e., on the other side of the dnieper, from the right bank of the dnieper, down there through chernobyl, they all went down in order to close the ring around kyiv, somewhere in the area of ​​belogorodka, from all sides to reach brovary boryspil from there through sumy, well, in one word, kyiv is closed in a ring, and here are the first moments that are worth knowing, the first feelings, the first impressions of you as a leader, took part directly in these hostilities, what was your calculation, i now

want to know from your experience, if possible from what they said, what was the calculation and was there an understanding of how big these forces are going and was there a belief that it would be possible to stop them in some way. look at the calculation . let 's say it was for two moments. i even wrote to myself on facebook, shoot down the signs from populated areas let polyfuel refuelers wander and not armor, because it is difficult to burn armor with molotov cocktails, because the civilian population was actually on the move, they started making these cocktails, well, the memory was still fresh e- of the burned armored personnel carrier on the maidan, it is possible that a lot of people died because they could not even run to those columns, at the same time when calls to defend the country at any cost began, the whole country was openly looking for weapons i will tell you, in the early days, we were all looking for weapons, well, who had something for hunting? it was one story, but

the whole country, all kinds of defense, all public formations , everyone was looking for weapons because in order to oppose the russian elite, you forgot to say that the landing force was also landed on vasilkiv, that is the ring closed from all sides, what was the calculation for us, well, i personally have my brothers, those who managed to call on the phones , who managed to get together, who was able to get a weapon, who got it, as they say, what he had and so on, there was a calculation knock this one down the first wave, frankly speaking, when i found out that there were salvaged trunnions that for some reason on the eve of the war no one took out from the warehouses of the zhytomyr region . equipment and can work with itself from four to five kilometers to 5,500 if i'm not mistaken can work against armor it was

quite such a good story the second story that a little of our missiles were saved alder eh local the population, especially now i am talking about the kyiv region, helped a lot with coordination, that is, the phones rang, the russians failed to put all the communication, we calculated, i quickly calculated , after all, to knock down the supply of logistics and start urban battles, because i understand what urban battles are bozinka loves ukraine and those morons were marching in columns, but you said correctly, they were marching in pendants, and these were our definite chances, with the help of partisans and small groups, to cut down the carts and burn what was behind. it was in order for those armed forces to units of the regular armed forces of ukraine , meeting these armored vehicles in combat positions on the battle lines, as they say, had the understanding that the support for those armored vehicles would be cut off with the help of mobile

groups for such, which were also created in irpen and wherever possible in that including the hostomel direction well, there is one more such moment, i want to say that it was very good that you know long-distance connections, that is, my brother petro kiyan, all husband yulik kuzmenko , with the help of another brother josyk, had a connection with the third brother who was sitting next to the artillerymen. and these horizontal connections made it possible to hit the columns accurately using artillery, you see, one brother gave the phone to another brother and so on. it all worked because the management of satellite communication systems is centralized and so on. there were no horizontal communications and mr. ivan's phone. by the way, what we didn't see on the video is the ural car that flew into obolon. well,

it's obvious that they only managed to break through. i'll do it again i will remind our viewers that february 25 is the exact february 25 we are talking about. on february 25, the russian troops were already in the village near the village of demydiv, that's where the perehokozarovychs of demydiv are down there . they flew there because the bridge e-er the bridge e from irpen 25 had already been torn down e tincture bridge was torn down on the day of the 25th, there the convoys also went to the zhytomyr highway, but they couldn’t make it there, but somehow they broke down there and there it is, unfortunately you you can't hear it now, but you can hear the stormy intershow over there the fire on obolon, er, this car was shot. well , here i would like to ask. what could have gone wrong and what could have happened to the russians to be successful, because i remember petro poroshenko's words very well. i remember very well, in principle, i remember the people's deputies, they are connected from the first to the

motherland because there was supposed to be a meeting there, then they decided to go to the verkhovna rada after all, they went to the verkhovna rada. i remember the pale faces and i remember petro poroshenko who said that we should hold out for three days, here we are about these three days let's talk about what could have gone wrong, the panic of the population, the desert organization, what could have happened, that the enemy could achieve his plans, and then we will understand that either you know, by some such will of god and impromptu or not impromptu, but prescribed and planned, the ukrainian army did first of all, what caused this first wave, you know, and made it fall, please, mr. ivan, i think that the russians went wrong. is it not at the stage of planning the war because they significantly underestimated the ukrainian people because, on the one hand, we we cannot deny that as soon as the first explosives went off in kyiv, there were certain flows of people to the west who were trying to save themselves. let 's say they saved themselves from those horrors of war that should not have been

expected. well, and precisely against this background, some people even fell into such a trap when tried to save himself in gostomel, in irpin, in buch, which russian troops later entered. well, on the other hand, the russians, when they planned this so-called special operation of theirs. operation well, they thought that they would be able to repeat what the americans could not do in 1991, when they had this whole operation desert storm, that is, the americans could not paralyze the iraqi army for three days of attacks on the iraqi body of the city's political leadership, moreover, iraq was even able to pass to organize a structured defense there, proceed to missile strikes on us allies with the help of guided missiles, and in order to clean up, prepare the conditions for a ground offensive, well, the americans needed about three months of the air campaign, the russians for some reason thought that for them to transition, let's say, to the ground phase of the operation, six strikes per hour on

our military facilities would be enough. second, for some reason, they decided, that is, the russians, that if they were to strike at some, if they just started , perhaps a large-scale known in principle as a nation , we will sprinkle that here not just there, our troops will not be able to go to some frontiers there for conducting so and that there or the political leadership of the comic with the parliament will not be able to make decisions so that we we just all made an effort - we will fall into osadok after theirs there, simply put, there will be a political vacuum that would have to be occupied by the uncles of medvedchuk and this or that, they hoped for this very thing not to wage war against us, all that traitors here will open the way for them but fortunately, for some reason, this is indeed the case. by the way, it may be god's providence that this time the archetype of traitors did not reveal itself, no matter how much it should have been, there was no honorable person who would have opened a direct path to kyiv for the russian paratroopers. because a person who would have told them to land there not only in vasylki yes, but in general, you will land in zhulyany, we recall that there were even plans for the trophy

, there were trophy maps on which it was indicated that the russian paratroopers were to land in parallel not only in gostomel but in zhulyany something went wrong no in the end, the russians did not fly to zhulyan, the russians just so much. you know, they inserted the above to us that how can we establish, based on their archival videos, that they in theory boarded helicopters to attack gostomel somewhere around 12 o'clock in the day, when it seemed to be clear that they somehow lost the effect of suddenness for their attack. well, it is not clear to us after the fact that they were hit by the effect of suddenness. well, no, at this hour of the day, they flew to occupy gostomel . and how did they suffer there? of the first such natural dates and continued everything exactly because they thought that they were russians, they were strong and accordingly they would be able to repeat us, they underestimated the whole horizontal organization of the ukrainian people because on the one hand the horizontal organization as we see the environment of volunteers worked, on the other hand, the horizontal organization worked, and the environment

of the parliament worked, because if you read something there, there are memories of the words of petro poroshenko that you are talking about. it was just so that when the leadership of the parliament itself did not quite understand what to do now, and in the end, the horizontal organization in general, it also worked at the level of the ukrainian army, because, for example, even the same tactics of mobile groups that stopped russian troops near the capital arose from why? well, the same mobile groups did not arise - they did not arise just like that, they were isolated groups of fighters from the mechanized brigades of the armed forces of ukraine who found themselves in such a situation that instead of standard subtests of kilometers of the front, they had to hold the front. well, let's say 300 kg smeared for 300 km well, it is concentrated in such a well, with a focus and a question. and just in theory, if even the american army would not have pulled such a thing from its command structure there, but our army even has such, oh, formats of conducting hostilities

it dragged on, precisely because the horizontal organization worked here, and in the end, how did even this factor of the horizontal organization between the military and the people work? as a civilian , you can give the coordinates for a well-aimed shot. no, how , nevertheless, they understood and they burned pendants, that is, in some way, hm, even such people can even have to conclude that god's providence is actually us accompanied all of them at all stages of the first three days of the war, and on the other hand, the ukrainians did it in order to take advantage of this gift of god and stop the enemy. emotions and the reaction of the french president they make it clear the tension is not despair not despair but well, where was zelenskyi’s despair here, so to speak, because

he is in kyiv, but macron’s reaction to it is very clearly visible, according to his words, that he wants as if znatska but no, that's not true volodymyr well, tell me what you were joking about, that they broke through somewhere in the south and all over ukraine look, this is very cool, let's listen and see. now we're fine, it's in english, but here the very emotion of the institute is just important lviv 's peace, but there were important words when he says that it is some kind of invasion, he says it's total , this is a total war, it's a big war, and macron, but it's like he doesn't want to believe it, but it shouldn't happen. well, how is it on this very day, the president volodymyr zelenskyi boris johnson was the first to call the team. he said that we will fight, we will stand

, well, it was such emotions, they were normal emotions, understandable emotions. but i think that many people watched what was happening . the front line, who was taking the families to the west, everyone was well, everyone was in a commotion, but here the most important thing is that the emotions were understandable, the question was otherwise what these emotions will be able to give, and here i will ask igor as a military man, we will only now know what the commander-in-chief of the armed forces will say general valery zaluzhnyi of the forces of ukraine gave false information to our partners. let's say it was driven into the pentagon about how he plans to defend ukraine. in other words , no one knew what the defense plan would be, especially there, and i'm asking now. really, the winners are not judged. the first stage of the war was actually won by ukraine. the fact that the enemy left kyiv, but it was an adventure in your opinion. was it a concocted plan, and here again an important role may be played. after all, the general's youth. and our youth is always ready to fight

old age somewhere, maybe you know a little, wants to sit and think, look at how macron is in this video and say total, here is total, you can total woni, well, total water, well, something must be thought here, too. how do you evaluate the actions of general zuluzhny, first of all, and his plan for defense, and whether it really once an addict was ready. i remember his phrase that he said and i think everyone read his interview where he said that i smelled the smell of war and the smell of war is unmistakable and i understood that there would be a war and we were preparing for it, please mr. games raise in case when it will start here, it will be something like this if we say that on the eve of the russian missile attack on ukrainian airfields, our entire military air force was in the sky, that is, while putin was bombing the ground, the air force went up into the sky and it was done correctly. that is, the intelligence worked, it worked all because the plane he is in standby mode. well, all the same, it

takes time and everything must be ready for the take- off of the urgent yes, that is, the rockets have gone , the sky has still risen as far as the planned one is concerned unplanned i think that there were a lot of action algorithms, this was only on tv. understood, well, who will be beaten. as he immediately said , from above, from the north on the right bank of the dnieper to kyiv. because without kyiv, putin did not need donetsk itself. putin did not need luhansk itself. putin does not need it, because without kyiv, he does not have ukraine, so first of all it was necessary to defend kyiv and i understand it. i think that it is useful to have much more intelligence information, including from western partners, than

we do here, as they say on the ground, a sinful second moment, it could have a couple of plans in case it starts and the most important thing is that it worked you understand the russians, well , our vozynska loves ukraine very much. they are idiots. you wouldn’t even deploy in battle formations. they marched in columns like that. can you imagine if the system of a shaft of fire was used like they are doing there now? now on bahmut they do it, and when they do scorched earth, they turn into a combat formation, they burn down a completely populated area, then they go to the ruins , that is, if they would turn into battle formations , it would be a completely different story, because they have an advantage in artillery tens of times, and sometimes hundreds of times more ammunition stocks therefore, in such a situation of the opponent and his background, well, it is precisely the most likely, probable tactic that can give results. well, with

bare heels against, sorry, against a tank, no one runs, you understand. if you don't have what or you you understand that you can't burn that tank, then you have to burn fuel for it, the refueler in the rear, that is, violated the syllogism, and that's why this is the stretching of the rear, the stretching of the front itself, that's it, besides the fact that there was an action plan for such a case when they go in columns, and it worked exactly that way because in another way, well, let’s say stand in a line, eh, you stretch your troops, and the results are what, they go with fists and punch any line for you, that ’s why mobility, eh, and cutting bodies, it gave quite a good result and literally one more thesis, i will tell you that they worked not only to stop the column from the side of the same zhytomyr region, but there were groups working that precisely cut down bodies for the entire column that

was going to kyiv and to me. these are the cadres for whom you spoke when you went to obolon the russians broke through. i remember very well how quickly ours figured out that it was here and on that same kamaz, they threw out machine guns and there they had already brought the certificate, the men took the machine guns and immediately went to the side, that is, the beggars, simple kyivans, you understand and this one is talking about what is above the military and political leadership was preparing for a certain type of military action, but not until the last one. not believing in this situation, they did not trust the citizens of ukraine with weapons, so when they tell me that we did not want to sow panic, well, you know how it is now, eh. as soon as we started to pressure the russians, they say no no, we need to evacuate kyiv, that's not panic. well, because they will be, because there will be no light, that's not sowing

panic, that is. do you remember those traffic jams on the zhytomyr highway and the shot civilian cars when they all started to break and take them out at once from the family and so on, that's why i emphasize once again that the armed forces of ukraine and the horizontal connections of the population with the units of the armed forces of ukraine worked in the first days of the war, as well as jesus, not a small emphasis on servicemen who have military experience starting from the 14th year and who who had his weapon. you will understand the most important thing. against special forces and paratroopers, volunteers went with hunting carbines. well, in addition to the armed forces of ukraine, volunteers went with hunting carbines, they with grenade launchers, we with machine guns, and with hunting ones you understand what happened and this is a very big loss and it is no no no no scholars will lose and when today i have 70,000 dead and the ukrainians er-e 10,000 dead i

say you still read that bastard who died and oh you in broken we are decorated military personnel with hunting with carbines and those young people who in chernihiv region ran with molotov cocktails to the columns and them directly from these columns because they didn't know what to do besides molotov cocktails, you understand , well, that's enough of you, which were shamefully done in the country, and the super seven because it is self-organization on the topic of ukrainian society, a colleague said before that the russians were waiting for the doors to be opened for them here , the gates to be opened there, so they waited, that's why they went in columns, and when they were in kharkiv, their tanks began to fire at them, and all opposition to you began they had no other plan, and all because they believed that their propaganda

always said, we are one people, they considered it sacred, they believed that we think and think the same as they do, you understand and we are not like them, this was also their big mistake because they believed that we will act according to the algorithms by which the russians operate. well, we are all one nation. and we are not one nation, that's why we survived it. i remember on february 24, i was driving to work on espresso. i think we will have ether, although at that time we etherized the blocked victory avenue in the direction of, well, there in the direction of the zhytomyr highway , there were terrible explosions in gostomel. at that time, i understand, they were trying, as if they were not trying, to destroy the runway so that the enemy would not land a russian landing party. at that time, the illas were circling over belarus, waiting for a signal when they could fly to land that is, you imagine that there 1 2 3 there were more than seven or eight of these irs killed by the military and each ir could transport more than 100 paratroopers there, well, depending on the modification there 76
