words were taken from france, this is such a nature, such a people who at first are afraid of the enemy, and then and then they adopt some language, character, customs from him, and therefore ukrainian, believe me. over time, if russia, in which it wins, has not been preserved, or in a smaller, fragmented or not well, less fragmented, more fragmented somewhere anyway , ukraine will come there because it caused them a lot of pain, they had a lot of hopes related to ukraine that they would seize nine oblasts or even take all of ukraine, as the semenians say that they will go there, ticks hurt, these confetti , what a moonlit night and eat ukrainian borscht, but in reality, these were such dreams, wet dreams, and in fact , they received pain, e.e. , sanctions for the dead, e. experience, their

negative experience, and then with time. qualities, but if russians lived here, it is really difficult to say, you know, every war gives impetus to evolution, although war would be better if it did not happen, it is not a natural thing that should be, like a child is born, growing up, there is adolescence, and a child grows up there, this is a normal process life, war is an abnormal process of life, somewhere something did not work and a war started, something somewhere did not work out and such and such a disease of society, a disease, a political disease, a diplomatic disease, but still in any case war, you know, it leads to evolution and here we are, fighting with the russians, we are always, in fact, today we naturally evolve normally, responding every day to certain challenges posed by the enemy , the first invasion, people went to the military commissars, took up weapons as a volunteer, and then i continued there. will show us that we are still winning here in the long run serhiy shakun, a fighter of the armed forces of ukraine about the defense of

luhansk oblast serhii i congratulate you, i am always glad to see and hear from you. i understand that you are currently on in the luhansk direction, are you in the luhansk region in luhansk? a year in donetsk region in luhansk region and before the war and the enemy, after we kicked him out of kherson, he still threw a large signature of these thugs or mercenaries in our direction, to say that this is a big the number is nothing to say because they go because it is custard and miss the degree of the world that well, what are they pouring in and how are they thrown here? it’s just, well

, the coil of the signature is actually trying to pierce our defense . they are constantly constantly trying to disrupt our counterattacks and counteroffensives and so on. why are you so many pumps of knowledge? i would now like to ask about the one who now has the operational initiative, i would say operationally-tactically, the initiative is exactly in this direction, in this area, we know to a greater extent what is happening. well, we really do n't know much, but in general we understand that it is very hot and very difficult in the direction of bakhmat, they are all those settlements that are near bakhmut, near donetsk, there is everything it is difficult

there. we really know more. what is happening in the south, somewhere in kherson region, of course, there are battles going on in kinbursk spit, somewhere there are battles going on, there are a lot of good positions . well, we know about the svatov crime highway, which needs to be cut. well, what is the situation there, what are the prospects, and who has the initiative? yes , for example, back in june, they advanced powerfully, and severodonetsk was paid after that . they have almost no initiative , and only we are freeing our territories, kharkiv region, part of donetsk region, you see, now i have already answered for the status of the matchmaking criminal there, for the fact that kherson region

is again in the south. our on the side of ukraine and muscovites, they are trying to show their weakness, they are trying to forget the ukrainians with rockets, to make them fall in love with shelling. well, they can’t do anything. because, uh , the territory is changed here and there, the point is the same kramatorsk they are starting to stay and there are more cars because people understand the power of the armed forces of ukraine and trust the armed forces of ukraine , they are returning. light, where can i go to the company with you, and i was just standing in the house, we were going there, and now she won’t come, and there is such a huge vyrva, well, they caught such a

bomb that, well, it ’s just not known why it was done, but i’m going to ask you today , did the information go through ? the occupiers have already mobilized 60% of the miners in luhansk oblast, that is, in fact, when they are there, luhansk oblast will be freed to work, probably already those who worked and there will be no one who will have to or, well, i think they will organize the coal industry in general, because they understood that the region is very suffered from the war. and tell me, please, now these new additions are coming to them only from local citizens, it doesn’t matter. they have russian passports, they don’t have, well, those who have ukrainian citizenship are like our people who fell into the occupation. and in general, does it feel like who is fighting our whose citizens were mobilized by the russians who were mobilized please tell me you know well count our citizens they stayed there yes well if a-ah then at the beginning of the war there was once and

the russians occupied the territory then they were delivered to those citizens who were in that territory when the same luhansk territory is in the ninth year of war and they go to the army for money, then they are no longer a nation, people without advisers and they should not be paid attention to by the apostle of this line, i will say, except for the wagnerian speakers well, the lpr dnr is called that is captured, they tell what and how it happens, they surrender to the salon, they are captured, so uh, all the mushrooms are whole, what you listed, they are all here. people to ether but it is interesting to know how you meet the winter, how prepared you are in warm clothes with technical means

that you can use to keep warm. maybe there is something else. do you have problems with needs or are you ready in principle, well, at least physically , to start experiencing this winter already in relative warmth , please? well, i i can only say that we are constantly raining and we will not stop, we will change, we will continue to liberate the territory of ukraine, the wind of the moscow invader, and where there is an opportunity, we will establish burguzyki where there is an opportunity, you can that is, our unit , the unit of the 11th brigade, the report is required in full and

the people are conducting combat operations. day thank you to the volunteers on the eve of the international volunteer day , they help us, they help us, they help us with their wives, they help us with their clothes, they help us with our socks , and so on. i will ask a question, because you know here in the rear, as they say, very often they start saying that volunteer is like this and that and not like that, the one from this political force and the one from another and the one somewhere lied and the other somewhere well , for you at the front, who is important what kind of background does this volunteer have? how do they say and what flags does he have, so to speak, of political affiliation? are the people who help you, they are all equal to you, because they all actually work for this victory, er, the people who help, they are all equal, they are equal . working for the victory of ukraine nato in the east well, if it got dirty somewhere, now it is trying to clean it up, you know, the attitude towards them is the same. so what? well, someone can

relate differently there, well, you can say those people in luhansk region who, uh, allowed the war to start and so quickly, well mastidines mentioned this territory of luhansk region. well, they don't need to, i can tell myself that when they come to them, the relationship is tense, thank you very much, serhiy, take care of yourself. may god take care of your brothers and services at the front . serhiy shakun, a fighter of the armed forces of ukraine three the defense of luhansk oblast. this is the story that is happening there. of course, you still know the fragments of the history, the fragments of the history of the war . we will be told. but this is already a fact. you know the stories, these are the facts of the war. serhiy zgurets, the director of the defense express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column, will tell mr. serhiy . i salute you, vasyl. our viewers have a very short question. i will ask a question from yesterday. the polish government was talking about the fact that the ministry of defense of poland will still give ukraine petriv, but they will manage today in

the air force command said that the ukrainians will be able to master the petriv missile system in two weeks, are there any moves already, because so many conversations have led to this and is it really true that petriv will now significantly improve the protection of the sky above us? well, really, if such a system were handed over to us, then our military quickly mastered, indeed, this would be a significant strengthening of our air defense about petriv. but we have been talking since the beginning of hostilities, and i think that these discussions between poland and germany and nato will be a certain impetus to to add new opportunities to our enterprise defense thank you serhii, please. now i told you what you are planning to say today. today we want to talk about certain aspects of the situation on the fronts, but when crimea will be liberated and about the prospects of our air defense, including the patriots, about it for moment so about the situation on the fronts, and let's start

from north to south, the svatov crime area , the front line in this area so far has imperceptible changes, but it is quite tense here, the enemy is trying to gain defense, mobilized are rushing here, and there were even the enemy’s use of the tos tramway system. in this area, i can say that so far our troops have stopped such direct attacks on svatov, but they are using artillery for strikes in the operational depth, including starobilsk, despite the bad weather and despite the geographical there are also certain climatic restrictions, because they are going to the north-west of svato and in the area of ​​kriminon, if we now see the infographic, it will be clear where this section of the advance front is located if to consider the analysis of various data is on the side of the most criminal on the part of the armed forces of ukraine, and here i will say that in the first half of december you forecast frosts in the north, and this will just end

the mud system and will finally allow the mobile forces to act effectively on the equipment, especially since there is a feeling about the appearance of additional units of the armed forces in this direction, and this, in my opinion, will have certain consequences in our favor. now we are approaching bakhmut and around it, it is the most difficult here. for exhaustion on both sides, on both sides, we have considerable forces and resources for the defense of the operative for the attack, for the enemy to break through to the outskirts of bakhmut or to surround the city, this is actually the only chance to inflate tactical success to at least some kind of victory. and the actual advance of 100 or 500 m is possible should really be presented as a victory in the russian propanoic canals, because in all other directions the enemy actually has systematic strategic defeats. by the way

, the muscovites have already started calling bezlimi - many towns and er to the south of bakhmut, where it seems er, the capture of these towns by the wagnerites took place, there they talk about kurdyumivka and klichchivka and andriyuka and zelenopilla, but if you consider the report of our general staff, you can say that after incredible losses, the enemy has limited tactical success, except in the village of ozeryanivka, which is shown in the diagram in the left corner, but this is a positional war, and in this zone, in six months, the situation resembles a see-saw where the enemy stops. is covered by fire and suffers losses, and then we fight back those positions where the enemy has advanced into our territory, i think that will be the case and further, despite all the difficulties, i believe that pakhmut will be held

, especially if reserves and ground, especially artillery, will be used from our side, all this will be absolutely unnecessary for those of our fighters who hold bakhmut and the defense line around it, and then we move to donetsk region, the enemy is trying to move our defense line near donetsk, and as an example, for the last time, constant attacks on avdiivka, the enemy is now trying to bypass avdiivka from the north, from the south, during this day, there were at least 3 dozen enemy attacks on the settlements of nevelskoe permomayske and vodyane, where the enemy entered one of the streets, now the enemy is trying to gain a foothold there. by the way, in this part of the front, he changed his tactics to first, the aviation control center was moved to donetsk, it seems from belgorod, and there they began to actively use aviation precisely on this part of the front on the ground, changes also took place

. the following technique is taking place, which is covered by infantry somewhere in the number of plants, they come in tactical groups, now the situation has changed, there are more small groups, from a detachment to a platoon of up to 30 people who are trying to act in different directions. the enemy moved from the kherson region to this part of the front. but i can say that this does not affect the result in any way, because the defense lines around avdiyivka are being held, and further south is the left bank kherson oblast zaporizhia front and crimea we are currently in contact with andrii ryzhenko - he is an expert in the center of defense strategies, ex-deputy chief of staff

of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine , captain of the first rank in the reserve p. andriyu i congratulate you if you can hear from us now we are fixing connection and i will say that in fact today the situation in the south is quite important because on the one hand we understand that we are trying to move this front line, which is now located on the left bank, at the expense of the artillery our long-range systems really create conditions for exhausting the enemy on the left bank. this is how it was on the right bank of the dnieper. but again in the statements of our politicians, questions about crimea began to arise, in particular . in fact, all the changes

we expected earlier will take place. the head of military intelligence, kyrylo budanov, is talking about the fact that somewhere in the autumn, and whether we will be able to win back the crimea in the spring, but now against the background of these the message was an interesting publication in the publication economist, which used to be in the publication economist, this came up today and it is being commented on quite actively, where it is said that what is actually being said is that if ukraine will quickly liberate crimea, it is unlikely that the west will like it, because there are challenges related to with the fact that russia can brandish nuclear weapons tactically again and in this way in what way influence the west and directly the actions of the ukrainian armed forces, we are currently in touch with andriy ryzhenko, an expert at the center for defense strategies as

deputy chief of staff of the naval forces , captain of the first rank, mr. andriy, i congratulate you. if you can hear me now, good evening, it's fine , finally, i'll repeat the question, by the way, today it came out, this is the publication of the introduction of austerity, it seems that in the country there is no need to rush the liberation of crimea because the return of crimea will be such a difficult and bloody work and the west can hardly support such actions of the ukrainian side. what do you actually think about the liberation of crimea, both tactics and time frames? well, i would turned to history because the crimea is known especially in the last 200 to 250 years for such serious military battles when one side tried to take it and subdue it to another and well, i want to

remind you, for example, the crimean war of 1854, when the anglo-french army had an advantage in the cities from the sea nine times over the russian cadre and had a slight advantage in the number of the accompanying continent contingent three times, they had little order 164 in the army of imperial russia and then the operation to capture the crimea lasted for a year 350 years and well there were serious consequences for both sides. i understand that it was a very different era, but you see that it took quite a long time and it took such a period of time, and i want to remind you that at that time the tail and the army of the

anglo-french troops had such a serious similarly, there is a psychological advantage over the russian army. the next example is the 1920 civil war in berdyan russia, when the borshkovs took the crimea and built wrangel's troops from there. their number was about 140,000 against 25,000 francs, and they were advancing from the southern part, from the criminal part of ukraine, and then, well, the operation took 10 days, and on both sides there were about 20,000 killed, but we again managed to take the isthmus, but thanks to well, first of all,

there is such a serious superiority in numbers, and again, they are in personnel and 3-5 times more in terms of equipment, then they were congments of armored cars, e-e, artillery, mr. andriy, and how should we, how should we now liberate crimea, is it possible to hold this operation with minimal casualties with the minimal use of ground units , because there was, let's say, that this is already the publication of zaluzhnyi and zabrodskyi, they agreed that the actual company of the 23rd year was not really directed to the crimea, but there are approaches that will be connected with, well, non-standard solutions. so for this there is an operational art, information on the situation and the location of the enemy, it is well, this is closed information, it is with our general staff. i think that they will use this information, but what is interesting historically is that the russian army is always in

crimea managed to win thanks to the fact that the supply routes of logistics were blocked for it , and by the way, it was also the second world war, and it was very characteristically shown when sevastopol and crimea held out for 250 days in the 41st and 42nd years. i think that these moments are exactly on the table they will use it in the operational planning room of the general staff, but the planning of the operation must be approached very carefully and other sources of national security should be used as much as possible, including economic and diplomatic pressure from our counterpart. before crimea or donbas because there are different assessments there, in particular, regarding the fact that donetsk is tightly integrated in the russian line of support, and with crimea it may be easier, but actually you can change the places of these operational directions from

the point of view of using your own advantages in your opinion what's stirring, well, frankly speaking, is the issue with donbass, it can automatically disappear or become much easier for us, because it is for, well, for russia, it will be a very serious injury for russia, putin if we release putin separately and why the liberation of crimea scares our western partners so much if we take into account the publications in the foreign press that i mentioned, is it possible to somehow package the liberation of crimea into such a concept that crimea itself is used by russia as a springboard for the use of tactical weapons against europe and the actual liberation of crimea has to be the primary goal of oil for european countries in order to secure themselves in the future, can such an ideological basis significantly change the rhetoric of europeans there in the perception of our rapid

the liberation of crimea, which seems to pose a threat to them due to the fact that russia will quickly start using tactical agrarian weapons. well, i think that, especially for putin, it has a very serious and dialogical symbolic meaning. so he made this whole story around crimea, and because, well, for him it is as such an ideological geostrategic toy and er, er, i think that these fears of the west are more related to the fact that putin may still make a decision on the prosthetics of nuclear technical nuclear weapons in the event of an operation in crimea, because for it is really him well, how well? it has a priority. well, maybe between other territories, but besides, it is really very interesting to him, and because, well, after the annexation, in fact

, it was immediately accepted into the russian federation, we did not observe that with donbas, i think that if they are very and you are annexed by russia but they had another plan for this territory, and i will say that this decision in september to include all the occupied territories in russia was also so spontaneous and rather it happened after these putin's failure on the diplomatic front, let's say , when he returned to the next meeting with their eastern partners and there he had to demonstrate determination. but crimea for putin's russia has a very special symbolic and ideological meaning, and i think the fear of the west from the point of view of in view of the possibility of

deploying tactical nuclear weapons. anti-missile defense, because now many facts have gathered to one of this component, first of all , it is about the fact that sweden promises to provide us with the largest package of military aid in its history, and there are new anti-aircraft missile systems rbs-70ng, which actually allow shooting down both drones and winged aircraft missiles, we do not know about the number of these complexes, but we understand that this is an important addition to our air defense system. also, the other day , a ukrainian delegation led by the military arrived in israel, where actually there were negotiations with

by representatives of the defense army of the country of israel regarding the creation of a missile attack warning system for ukraine using the potential of israel. and before the meeting of nato foreign ministers in bulgaria, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of lithuania said that ukraine needs anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense and called for sending anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense equipment to ukraine as a matter of course taking into account the fact that we really need it for defense and actually this dynamic is connected with the transfer of air defense complexes, it is extremely important not those to the realities in which you and i are now here. this is an announcement about another massive missile attack on the territory of ukraine using a significant number of missile carriers. it’s just there, uh, again, the representatives of the president’s office announced that

this is indeed possible, a new powerful attack on us this , of course, does not scare us, but it creates new challenges for our air defense and with regard to the ability to really ensure the guaranteed repulsion of even a larger number of missiles that the enemy will try to launch on in our territory, we have igor romanenko , lieutenant general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. igor, i congratulate you, and i also congratulate you . the strength of our air defense against the background of these statements that there will be another massive strike by the russian federation with a much larger number of missiles . how do you assess the strength of our air defense in these conditions, also

under force, we know about what is coming from anita, missile systems additionally and iris and not sens, in addition, kradelf french from spain are coming in, eh, so hawk and the additional americans are working on this issue in time, how long will it be somewhere about that eh until the time when the next strike will happen i wanted i would say that the most difficult situation in the use of ballistic missiles by the enemy, such as the iskander dagger, is the point that these complexes are needed specifically for anti-missile defense, such as the patriot pact, that is, the latest modification - this is emphasizing franko's italian uh
