well, we are aware that at any time they can develop events on their own, so our defense force is ready for the development of events, but still, we hope that the healthy way and the black sea are allowed to go. i don't know if we can talk about it, but i would be interested to ask, because you know after a heroic, of course, heroic gesture on the part of the enemy, who left bohdan after massive shelling and howitzers and various means of fire damage to the snake island , and somehow forgot about him, if possible, only it's beautiful that everything is happening there and how important it is that the island is now with us. perhaps it also plays a role in strengthening the state's defense capability, but somehow it is not talked about, so no one thinks that it is there. a piece of land in the black sea, well, on the ground , why are there rocks, of course, in any case, this is a part of ukraine, which we also

bought, and repelled from the enemy, really, they tried to make it a non-flammable means of air defense i was drawn there very much a large number of anti-aircraft means, in particular, in order to secure your fleet in the future video of any actions, including the impossibility of the ship group leaving the borders of the superfunk at the moment, and you remember that during recent times they have been constantly keeping exactly behind the crimean coast, hiding in the so-called a missile for security for themselves in the district, that is, where they cannot be hit remotely, but do not go to the northwestern part of the black sea more freely, as they did at the beginning a full-scale invasion precisely because now they do not have such an effective anti

-aircraft defense, the moscow cruiser can only defend under water and very hypothetically on snake island itself, where they deployed a powerful air defense system, so far nothing is working for them because it left as a gesture of kindness as they say, the air defense system that they deployed on the northern coast of crimea and on the northern line of berehov and zagrav is not capable of fully protecting ships and boats if they suddenly will take a combat course and go into offensive formation, for example, in an attack on the black sea coast , that is why zmiinyi island plays a very big role in this, because they did not get it and they have a defense point. i will not ask about military operations on the left bank, you know, i will ask about the importance of er

well, again, from the fact that you can talk about the importance of the dnieper-buz estuary which well, actually, from mykolaiv there is an exit to the black sea and down there to the kherson region. here is this stretch of water like so to speak, which was almost controlled for a long time completely well, not completely, at least in the south by the enemy, and it was definitely in the zone of damage of his firepower, how important is an explosion against a scene with the enemy, especially in the south, complete control over this dnieper estuary for the armed forces of ukraine for the naval forces, well, let me remind you that there are geographical features there in particular, the kinburn spit, which allows the armed forces of occupation to continue to attack and attack part of the mykolaiv region, in particular , the ochakivka direction there, therefore, it really matters in addition, in the perspective of the grain agreement , the connection of mykolaiv ports

is also considered, therefore the passage through the dnieper-bus estuary is the passage of the same grain corridors of the future, which must be secured, which must be absolutely all of this territory and water area must be de-occupied , so combat work continues there. and of course we are working on top of that, all the defense forces on the fact that it is possible to use the ports as much as possible in order to develop and raise the economy in the conditions of a full-scale invasion is really important big and the work continues like this, well, it’s still more like that well, not that it’s not quite the rear, but on the other hand, it’s a very important, very important area because there is a certain threat that may not be actualized now from the side of the russian federation about this artificially created transnistria, which

also borders part of the vinnytsia region, and it is clear that there must be certain forces that will control it . in the conditions if the situation it on front will worsen and lukashenka's compulsion to war will still be reduced to zero, here it is not exclusive that he can also activate this option at least for some dispersion for panic there as he wants or for pulling the forces of the armed forces of ukraine from other directions, please if you monitor the development at all events during the full-scale invasion, the occupiers from time to time turned to this topic of incitement in transnistria, they even raised the level of the terrorist threat there to the orange level, then let it go again in october, because subversive groups tried to suppress the situation there, even by inciting the

moldovan population, but still they did not have much success. on an alleged foreign business trip they have an increased financial payment they have a very cozy region which is calm which is very fertile and wine and vegetables and everything is there everything is very calm and the service seems very sweet and pleasant, and therefore morally and psychologically, this contingent is not ready to suddenly rise to some very active combat actions, therefore, those groups that are sent there for motivation to incite this mood have a lot of work, but from our side, the border with transnistria is reliably protected, it is

arranged that from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, the security forces have been performing their tasks throughout the entire problem area, so the situation there is absolutely calm now, which is controlled by the defense forces of ukraine. i wish you a good evening. natalya gumenyuk, the head of the press center of force defense and protection of the south, was in touch with us. well, she was interested in learning what is happening in some regions. they diverted attention a little from the hottest points that are talked about every day. she was really an enemy, you know. he does not reject anything, but today hmm, let's talk more, i think he is a physicist, he will talk more about what happened in belarus, there is an opinion of the russian opposition that colonel makey, who was the minister of foreign affairs of the republic of belarus in general, they poisoned the russians, in any case, putin is trying to use all the evil in him in different directions. in order to hit ukraine somewhere else, he needs to hit us from all sides, he needs to weaken us as much as possible, and of course that is

turning off the light, the heat, the means communication, this is all aimed at relaxing the ukrainians and you know, i have to hold on, but today we will not have a sports section. if there is time now or later, i will tell you about a very interesting story that happened at the world cup in football and we will remember it again about the hypocrisy of such an organization as the world football association fifa, because you know when, and here again, the war of russia, the aggressor, is recognized by the european parliament. by the way, the headquarters of fifa does not know where uefa is located. it is located there in switzerland. well, but in any - in any case, this center is still located somewhere in europe, and when the european parliament recognizes that russia is a state sponsor of terrorism, and still the interests of russia, even at the world forum, at the world cup, in general, in the arabian desert, in a boat, in the persian gulf, and all the same there, it is possible to dispel such an attitude that they are somehow special, but no one else is

allowed, that is, a fan of the serbian national team there is shouting putin in the stands, this is ok, a player of the cameroon national team, by the way, who has the citizenship of the russian federation, somehow strangely goes out in boots with the flag of the russian federation the federation is drawn by the aggressor country. i will remind you that the european parliament recognized the aggressor country as well. okay, let's not make things worse. well, it came out, and it came out. who, by the way, scored the first goal in his life at the world cup, wore the yellow and blue ribbon he brought with him, he will bring that blue ribbon, he didn't wear it yet, i imagined if he didn't wear it, what a scream would go up there in the fifa headquarters, so that they would grind there like would not talk about the fact that politics is sport outside of politics and the flag of the aggressor country that has killed thousands of people now in ukraine tens of thousands of people and so on all over the world has killed hundreds of thousands, it's no big deal let some dude with a camera who for some reason has the citizenship of the russian federation plays for the national team, whoever wears what he is promoting terrorism, aggression, death by murder

is normal, the main thing is that the money drips and recently the world championship was in this in russia, so i understand that fifa has not eaten yet all the money they earned was earned from putin, so to speak well, now that's it, that's it. you know this hypocrisy, it's rotten, it probably once again confirms us in the opinion that, thank god, our national team didn't go to the boat. well, all the more so if you look at how it was allowed there, then a lot was done for the fact that our national team i didn't go there that's why we won't worry too much about it. yuriy sobolevskyi is in touch with us now , we will find out if he will join us in the kherson region, you know. by the way, i read all this from the kherson region, mr. yuriy is the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council and in kherson oblast , i think 80 cell phone towers have already been restored, what is important is that people now have the opportunity to use some russian cards or russian devices, i don’t even know what they are called they now they can use ukrainian

ukrainian cards with ukrainian connections, but it is still unstable because there is mr. yanushevich , he is such an interesting character, mr. yanushevich, you know on the one hand, you understand that he heads the military administration in the region, which is still half occupied, but here this arrival means turning on the circuit breaker with one's own hand in some department, well , it's a bit of a show, but on the other hand, you know if it works, if it works. thank god the ukrainian army, despite the weather , despite the enemy's activity, and the events at the front will be told in detail by serhiy zgurets , director of the defense express agency, host of the column , military summaries of the day, serhiy. congratulations vasyl. i congratulate you. i congratulate our viewers. won't send his 40,000 army to ukraine well, that's what he said before the strange death of colonel makey, but i'd like to ask you and what does he imagine with himself this army of forty lukashenka, how threatening is she, please? well , in fact, when we talk about the belarusian army

that can perform some functions on land, it is the ground forces of 10,000 and the special operations force of 6,000, that is actually 16,000 that can be used for one or another hostilities, but they are not ready because, in fact, they are afraid of starting a war with ukraine, understanding the consequences for this army. although there are still 9,000 russian mobilized soldiers there, who are training on belarusian training grounds, and they are still trying to create a certain threat for the ukrainian army, which will receive a certain number of its group in order to block all possible troubles from such an unpredictable neighbor. carried out by the armed forces of ukraine in the use of weapons during the 9 months of the war about the situation on the fronts and what the enemy is trying to do on the battlefield, about this in a moment.

russia's invasion of ukraine. the defenders not only hold back the russians, who are superior in the number of personnel and weapons, but they do it in such a way that they write new pages in the history of military affairs. with our experts of defense express, we have chosen five impressive examples during these 9 months of war when the armed forces of ukraine accomplished what was considered impossible in the first place. this is, of course, the destruction of the cruiser moskva, the flagship of the black sea fleet of the russian federation . it was on april 13 for the first time in history against the largest cruiser ship was hit by the naval complex and this was the first case of the destruction of the flotus flagship during the second world war and this was done by the domestic anti-ship complex neptune developed by the

kyiv state bureau luch i would like to thank you that they have already started shooting a mental film about this story and this topic for neflik but cooler than the fact of the destruction of moscow will definitely not be the second impressive example - this is when ukraine entered the history of naval affairs. this year it is an attack kamikaze sea drones on enemy ships in a protected place, precisely in the bases of the fleet itself. on october 29, ukraine attacked the ships of the black sea fleet in occupied sevastopol with exactly such weapons. were there really sea drones before that? were there experiments in other countries with the creation and conduct of such operations there were the same, but it was the drones that were developed and manufactured in ukraine that attacked the enemy in his base and caused real damage to the enemy, now a new batch is being manufactured

of such naval strike systems and lithuanian volunteers. by the way, they have already raised funds for three such drones with completely peaceful and prophetic for the russian black sea fleet, the name of which starts with the word pis and continues with different versions. the third example of the improbability of the actions of the armed forces of ukraine was actually submitted the other day by the new york times which claims that due to ingenuity and adaptability, the armed forces of ukraine among nato countries are called macgyver's army. this turns out to be the hero of such an american adventure tv series that uses a successful outcome, everything that is thrown into his hands, i do not like this comparison at all, because actually the armed forces of ukraine are self-sufficient without any comparisons, but let's return to the publication in the

new york times. they didn't get the howitzers, the ukrainians installed french howitzers, now they were transported on pontoons for 10 km by sea, they hit the island of zmiinoy, which was 40 km away, and how did they surprise the french, as the publication writes to be honest, we do not have confirmation of this fact due to its excessive riskiness , but we definitely know that the enemy was smoked out of the snake not only by caesar, but also by the latest ukrainian howitzer bohdan, which was guided to the target with the help of drones in real time and st- created such actually a new intelligence strike system and what, by the way, is evidenced by the video of the strikes on the snake once upon a time , general valery zaluzhnyi, who with his actions and decisions is much more interesting than the heroes

of any foreign tv series. by the way, we see this video where bohdana was used for strikes on snake island, and the fourth example of the adaptability of our army is the use of american missiles from our fighter jets . the number of russian air defense systems, these are still being supplied to us for further missions . and finally, the fifth example, which is still shrouded in the fog of war, is the destruction of the ninth of august at least 9 military aircraft at the novofedorivka base near the city of saka in the crimea, how and why did the military leadership admit that this was our work and announced a series of successful missile strikes on the enemy's crimean air bases, but the distance to the front line is more than 200 km, and

we actually have such missiles no, but then there were statements in tons of specialized publications that the strike i am quoting was delivered by a weapon system manufactured during the ussr, but modified for use in a role other than the one for which it was designed kinesetat for this we have certain assumptions about what exactly struck the russian planes at the airfields in saki, but we will keep it a secret for now, because even without a specific sample of weapons, all these five examples of january show that the ukrainian army demonstrates adaptability, ingenuity and skill in the use of both domestic and foreign weapons, as well as in their symbiosis, and of course there will be a continuation. and what about our enemy , russia, is also trying to manufacture weapons under the

slogans, the analog machine adapts stolen chips from washing machines for their use in cruise missiles and tries to introduce tactical know-how on the battlefield, both in the actions of units and in the construction of the defense system, we will discuss these and other details of front-line processes with viktor kiv-luk, who is a reserve colonel and an expert of the center for defense strategies mr. viktor, i welcome you to the espresso channel. i congratulate you, mr. serhiy. this is one of the lines of defense where we are trying to press on . at night there were, uh, satellite images appeared that show that the russian occupiers from svatovoy there in luhansk region continue to build such a line of defense using these dragon's teeth. in fact, there is already

talk of an area somewhere 50 km away that they built both to the north and to the south of svatovoy there goes this there on the lines of concrete barriers then there are ditches then positions for anti-tank weapons if it is now an infographic then i think we will also see images of these concrete structures and the line where this line passes just know luhansk region, but now it is being shown to us. i would like to ask you, mr. viktor, how to evaluate such actions of the enemy, and how it will affect the possibilities of our offensive and how it can be countered . he only partially drew conclusions from the iyum lesson, and the enemy realizes that as time progresses in the

cold season, those territories will freeze, the ground will be firmer and, accordingly, for the highly mobile units of the armed forces of ukraine and the 92-93 brigades showed that they are capable of moving quickly to a great depth without getting involved in any serious or collision, respectively, the enemy is trying to oppose the actions of the mobile units of the register groups, what can be done about it even in the times of the second world war with such blocked groups fought a reversal group from the number and engineering appropriate assault groups were formed from the sapper units, which used an explosive method to make passages there, so i think that those who studied at the schools of engineering troops did not forget

the tactics textbook, eh, this council will be given enough quickly, the fact that the russians are immediately preparing certain defensive lines in the direction of the matchmaker-crime indicates that they do not have the strength to carry out an offensive there for weeks, what is happening from the kherson direction, air units of the airborne troops have arrived here, formations of the 76th airborne assault troops have been spotted here and the 98th airborne operations and er, the informed palmen informed us that two tactical strike groups are being formed, that is, the enemy is trying to stabilize the situation and stop the advance of the armed forces of ukraine by carrying out er two e counter counterattacks when it will be and whether the enemy will succeed in this is an open question, but we see that

partially realizing that stopping the armed forces with passive defense will not succeed, the enemy is trying to combine both elements of passive defense, engineering fenced off and preparing for active counterattack measures, you are talking about organs of possibility about the possibilities of counterattacks about what directions on my no not the largest can probably be discussed when we talk about counterattacks of the enemy eh at the turn of the lettuce crimination only two which cities are the enemy trying to contain, in fact, svatov and its own criminality, in which direction are they going to counterattack? well, i do not have access to russian operational documents to answer this question for you precisely, and it depends on how the situation will develop, no less difficult direction, now it is directly bakhmut and

the situation around him, i don't know if you watched the video of yuri butusov, who presented the tactics of the wagnerites, which is directed at how to use the minimum trained personnel for the pushing forces, that is, in fact, when i have them. they say that the commanders are sitting on the remote side, using copters that, er, inspect the area. and where are these wagnerites not trained, or with a clearly primitive mission to move in a certain direction, and they try to perform such tasks, losses on the field, they are not interested in them but the very principle of managing such meat, it still gives a certain result if you evaluate these approaches of the command of the wagner group, how to counteract this in the same way in view of such well enough a non-standard approach when practice does not matter , it only matters simply well, the mission itself, well, a few words in general for the private military company

wagner, it has 26.5 thousand employees today, 10 and a half thousand scooters are on the territory of ukraine, about 2,000 m participate in hostilities people are active, six of wagner's combined laws are operating in the area of ​​bakhmut and one in kupyansk, from here we can conclude that where the enemy is concentrating the main efforts, another 8.5 thousand, according to the estimates of the main intelligence department are in training camps on the territory of ukraine in luhansk, the largest camp there is about 5,000 1,500 in severodnotsk about 1,000 in starobilsk and at the steering factory in horlovka well, about 900 people of the pvk operate as follows, which means that they have all personnel divided into three

categories, so the first category - these are former military personnel who have a high level of training, such as theoretical tactics, practical experience of participating in combat operations. and this category is the most valuable resource for the wagner pvk they are recruiting all over russia, including among lc guest workers without citizenship, everyone who gives consent to participate in hostilities and the third category is condemnation, this resource judging by the fact that there are 400,000 people in prison in russia, it will not end soon tactics these units are quite primitive, they operate in groups of 12-15 people, uh, there is a certain distribution of specialties in the group, this is an assault group, three groups of infantry, a reconnaissance group, and the league, which

means that the most poorly prepared and those recovering from injuries fall into the reserve or with light or light wounds, respectively. last week, we saw a report that in a week the enemy spent up to 500 yes in the donetsk direction, here are these small groups that nobody in principle counts and create the illusion of a huge offensive, in fact, in the composition of the unit of the wagner assault group, there are no evacuation units , there are no evacuation units medics, that is, a priori, no one is going to save anyone, it is easier to finish them off than , er, to evacuate and then to treat them, it is to invest money, in addition to this, etc., in the composition of which groups are the so-called representatives of the service of security, wagner, these boys have

the right to extrajudicial cases, anyone, anyone, i liked it, i liked it, whether the action raised doubts, someone was not active enough on the battlefield , and they can be executed right there, that's why we see when these assault groups, which are mainly formed from the second categories of conscripts operate and are actively managed by representatives of the first group, these are military personnel or experienced wagner fighters, and all this is supplemented by citizens who have signed contracts with the wagner pvk while staying in places deprivation of liberty, well, that's roughly how it all looks , by the way, literally today there was a message that the kremlin is trying to somehow dilute this prigozhina monopoly, private military companies are starting to create

some similar initiatives where new responsible or watchers for separate directions in order to create some kind of competition there or there prigozhyn did not have such a single opportunity to demonstrate strength and demonstrate influence on putin, this trend can still be explained connected with other private companies of russia, today the most powerful are three private companies, actually wagner, who knows that wagner's best fighters were this year allocated to a private military company, the league, which performs the most difficult tasks and actually concentrates the most trained, qualified human resource there. well, how for example, in june, the company liga selected in the krasnodar region in the village of molkina, this is the training ground of the 10th special purpose brigade of the armed forces of the russian federation of candidates with the replenishment that arrived there from

more than 300 candidates to the left did not fall into any of them and there is a private military company redoubt - it is mainly former servicemen of the airborne troops, it is so less promoted, but in ukraine it takes part in hostilities to find out where the airborne troops end and the redoubt begins, it is extremely difficult, but lately we have seen that prigozhin, who is essentially a businessman, a private person, despite all his proximity to the first persons in the russian government, and actually the owner of the private military campaign weber allows themselves a lot of excess, in particular the attack on the migration of colonel latina, well, accordingly, a certain military solidarity is present and processes have been initiated
