the holiday and such an important day on the front line very hot constant fire constant shelling our film crew in the east just yesterday came under heavy fire, a car with almost no windows and bullet holes, but luckily everyone's stomach kostyantyn melnikov modestly does not want to talk about it in detail , he is now going straight with us communication from donbass and ready to tell about the situation konstantin i am very glad to see you alive i know it is difficult tell me what the current situation is on the front lines greetings olena well, traditionally we can say that the east remains the hottest point on the map of hostilities in ukraine and the ukrainian military today there were really not enough loud celebrations , but even in spite of this, they did not remain without surprises today, as you said in the studio today, to congratulate them, the president came to donetsk together with the commander of the armed forces, they

the most heroic fighters were honored, the president presented state awards, thanked them for their courage and emphasized that he believes that the next meeting will take place in the ukrainian donetsk or luhansk, and he is sure that even in the ukrainian crimea, in the meantime, the fighters in the hottest bakhmut area were awarded, in particular , an award for saving lives from the commander of the armed forces valery zaluzhnyi was awarded a medic of the 24th brigade of the royal infantry to oleksandra, a girl who saves the lives of our defenders every day they were wounded on the battlefield. despite oleksandr's considerable track record, nowadays the talker says she doesn't have time to give interviews, because there is a lot of work ahead . and yes, there is a type of work, i do

n't do it for rewards and even if i wasn't given anything and they wouldn't give me anything, that is, i wouldn't even be upset. well, there wouldn't be such a thing that they didn't give me something. i won't be anything anymore do one of the defenders of the award has now been caught in bahmut itself, i emphasize once again that the city is constantly under enemy fire, the occupying forces simply wipe it off the face of the earth, so here also the army men comment on their awards quite modestly, please listen to the great joy, the great responsibility of their country, the state, as you can see , all the awards, most of the awards took place in shelters and here is what our soldiers are currently talking about the very situation around the bakhmut direction, let's listen to their main task - to get out of the settlement of bakhmut

because this is a point from which you can go to sloviansk and kostiantynivka and to siversky, where do you go? extremely tense situation, our soldiers hold the front line and the line of defense of the enemy does not stand there underestimated and they are cunning and wise, but we will be more cunning and wiser on them at times better point to work to remove this evil a little in our land and we will return to the house as soon as possible. well, we

learned how difficult the situation is in the bakhmut direction. the day before, during our work at the positions of the royal infantrymen of the 24th brigade, the enemy simply fired at self-propelled artillery installations 2s1, thanks to our defenders, our filming the group and not only ours survived and how it all happened, what were the consequences of this shelling, we will definitely tell, but a little later in this issue of elena, as of this hour, i have everything so thank you very much for this word. take care and convey to all our defenders our congratulations on the day of the armed forces. kostiantyn melnikov was involved from the front line, a real media front on the front line works every day. on the front line, competition disappears, everyone has only one desire to win as soon as possible and it is no longer important who will be the first to say about the victory on the air oleksandr motor military

the correspondent of channel 1+1 has been at the front since the first days of russian aggression, from the 14th to the 24th of february, he is constantly at the front and, probably for the first time, he will join the ictv airwaves with his news from the front lines, not a single hour of complete silence, this is exactly what and how armed forces day was celebrated forces of ukraine, our soldiers on the front lines of the donetsk region, in particular, near bakhmut, primarily on its southern and northeastern outskirts, artillery cannonades and intense shooting battles do not stop talking at all in order to understand the intensity of the enemy attacks, how frantically russia is storming the ukrainian defense line, it is enough to say that during the day the occupiers fire about 20,000 heavy projectiles towards the ukrainians, this is of course referring to the entire front and tank artillery jet enemy

projectiles and mines when describing the situation around bakhmut, our military uses the phrase street fighting and they say that the investigation will have to be conducted elsewhere at a distance of less than half a dozen meters, roughly speaking, almost at close range, but it is very difficult nowadays, not only near bahmut, but a section of the front is burning from ugledar to maryinka, around the sands of vodyanyi opitny and avdiyivka, that is, in the shelter of temporarily occupied donetsk, there is no silence there either, and this is probably the most important thing, wherever possible , ukrainian soldiers counterattack at the first opportunity, reliably hold the front and effectively and systematically destroy the manual 53 how did i accept the plus if it will be cut so that it will be even when the child

sits, i say well, i can show what it is, how many years together are the words of this military alexander, a mechanic, a driver of an infantry fighting vehicle from the 24th of the royal brigade, in my opinion, very accurately conveys the arguments of our soldiers, despite all the difficulties, do not get tired of beating russian families, children freely, the motherland and martial brotherhood. and the battles are no longer dozens. probably, hundreds, too. and to wish our soldiers this day of the armed forces of ukraine, i would like, first of all, to have the reliable shoulders of my comrades next to me. and also the accuracy of our arti and the responsibility of everyone, without exception, in the rear for what is happening at the front. the same applies to the battle of information. apparently, in the 14th year, my colleagues and i stopped considering each other as competitors and we do our best to tell about the

situation on the front line firsthand as you can , as quickly as possible, as accurately and truthfully as possible, as many ukrainians as possible learned about that, we stand with that and step towards our common general ukrainian victory, but the inter games of the lions, in fact, got into the war from the maidan on february 24 on the 14th, i went to the crimea, there they filmed stories about our marines when they were stormed in bakhchisarai from april to may of the 14th, i was in luhansk, then hundreds of reports from the hottest spots appeared. today he congratulates the military on armed forces day on our air, a military correspondent of the inter tv channel i congratulate my native army of our defenders on the holiday, i know how difficult it is for you now to resist the russian occupiers, who, under the leadership of marinka ovidivka and in other directions, are constantly throwing their cannon fodder into the attacks of the enemy.

observes no rules of war today we were in a coal mine, it was a cozy town of miners and now the russian invader is mercilessly destroying it, they are not able to break through the defense there because the armed forces on the approaches to the city reliably hold the lines and do not let the occupiers continue to bring ruin and death, i know how it was not easy even in 2014, when the army rose from its knees and at the same time had to face an influx of russian mercenaries and other evil spirits, and then and now we were by your side and we will be until victory and it doesn’t matter which one of us which the channel will be the first to report this good news, we have one enemy and one military and information front, so together to victory i congratulate the armed forces of ukraine on the holiday since the first days of the full-scale war,

international support for ukraine has been constantly strengthening , the event has already provided kyiv with military aid worth billions of dollars, more than 20 countries have supplied weapons the world from the first javelin and ufo anti-tank systems to the stinger portable anti-aircraft missile systems that played a decisive role in the first days of the russian invasion of the american em-77 howitzers helped our armed forces in the eastern direction. and they also opened the door for long-range nato artillery, successfully using american weapons. our defenders also received dozens of other artillery systems, in particular french caesar howitzers. ammunition warehouses of military bases and command posts of the occupiers were destroyed and continue to be destroyed, ukraine received and provided assistance to nato armored vehicles

even australia knows its bushmasters, every schoolchild knows the armed forces from germany, the armed forces received anti-aircraft self- propelled guns cheetah, noting defeats on the battlefield, the kremlin resorted to missile terror of ukrainians to protect critical infrastructure, the west provided air defense systems from the soviet s-300 from the countries of eastern europe to the german arists of the norwegian pump of the spanish hawks at a meeting of nato foreign ministers in bucharest, the alliance promised to increase military aid to kyiv and provide even more air defense equipment in particular, a substantive conversation began about the transfer of patriot systems to ukraine, in addition to military aid to ukraine, more than fifty countries of the world united and held seven meetings in the rammstein format; during the last meeting, defense ministers also agreed to strengthen the defense of ukrainian skies over the past nine years ukraine without exaggeration, it is alive thanks to their courage and

indomitability. for 9 years in a row, our armed forces have done incredible things, repulsed the so-called second army of the world and mercilessly chased the enemy from of the ukrainian land, although for the sake of the truth it should be said that in 2014 the country was held by volunteers, the army was only on paper for 20 years of independence , the armed forces totally reduced weapons, destroyed them , and sold them off. if at the beginning of our independence, the cart numbered up to a million soldiers, then at the time of the beginning of the russian aggression, 50,000 were actually in the last 9 years, the armed forces have been revived from scratch , so not everything is perfect and volunteers still help the army, but already in the first months of the war, our armed forces showed russia that they can not only to defend and to attack, this is already a completely different army than the one that was in 2014 about the decline, the prosperity and decline of the armed forces of ukraine, a report by oleg kornienko with

yaroslav we meet in kyiv on mykhailivska square between his rotations, despite the small combat experience of the ato, the great war, the enemy's equipment was captured in it doesn't cause him a feeling well, i just understand how she got to such a state, i understand a little what was on the outside and inside. but in principle, i don't know, i don't want to touch her, and the ukrainian army of 2014 admits that there were definitely a lot of such successes then it's not that there was no equipment to destroy. elementary automation of uniforms with orders was difficult, it was difficult with equipment, but well, as always, volunteers helped so much thanks to volunteers for 20 years of independence, after the usa and russia, almost nothing was left after gaining independence, ukraine, under pressure from

washington and moscow, gave up nuclear weapons signed an agreement with europe and agreed to reduce its armament by ten countries, which positioned itself as a non-aligned country, actively destroyed its arsenal of ammunition and sent heavy equipment for scrap the body of the tank is cut, part of the equipment is adapted to the needs of our national economy, where there is an opportunity, of course , to offer and implement such equipment, we do it in parallel under the bulgarians and the strategic aviation, the last one here, the 22nd in ukraine, has already been liquidated as museum exhibits in ukraine, there are three heavy bombers left here 22 and seven mock-ups of aviation cruise missiles x22 were also reduced and the personnel for the state, the armed forces became a financial burden, and the military profession lost its prestige for in the first 10 years, the ukrainian army decreased from one million to 200,000. well, they did everything for that.

well, they didn't give anything out so that people would simply resign and, er, they would lose such valuable personnel only inside zero countries. he mentions his army and announces the course of nato and the armed forces are again reduced to 120,000, they say the army is needed not for defense, but for participation in international peacekeeping missions , it is for school. on the right glorious times. hello, three years after this event, maksym joined the army. but apart from socks, there were no other nato standards there, but when i went, they told us so, too, uh, there’s a jerk there with a parachute, you won’t be

uh , there on the equipment you will, because there are no diesels there. everything was out of date, the form was out of date, even the irp was out of date, but when we went to some training there, we were given dry food, well, it was to eat it . it was impossible, and with the arrival of yanukovych, the reforms were completely stopped, the equipment was written off even more actively and they sold like this at the beginning of the russian aggression , the ukrainian army had only 50,000 soldiers and outdated weapons, so the volunteers in this class had to defend donbas, it was 2014, when this is the year when it all started, we are in the seventh year, the class teacher, we are sitting drawing pictures and in the drawing class or there, well, they seriously painted and sent men to the anti-terrorist operation. and now the children are writing to him, don't be sad, glorious ukraine, you have a free year while ivan was studying, the armed forces not only repelled enemy attacks in donbas, but also radically the army, which had been looted and destroyed for decades, finally began to reform and implement

nato standards, changed its shape, renovated the barracks, replaced the soviet sukhpail with modern canteens, switched to a new food system, meat turkey stewed in sour cream sauce or to choose from. we also have home-made stewed potatoes or buckwheat, fruits bananas, apples for tomorrow, we have kiwis , the army itself has increased many times, on a par with men, women are also serving, and the decision-making vertical is now the commanders themselves on the ground manage the battle, the military-industrial complex finally began to modernize old tanks, armored personnel carriers , planes and manufacture new tanks, oplot, coastal missile systems, neptune and alder, anti-tank missiles, stugna, and the corsair , and the aircraft industry has been revived. all these weapons are at the front, thanks to

the experience and skill of our defenders, they are actively destroying the enemy, at the same time, new models are being developed, and foreign weapons are appearing in the armed forces of the armed forces and the most important and most valuable thing in the ukrainian army is not the weapon , but the people, their motivation. my family is now abroad, but i know that being here i protect them protects others sami i protect my country this is my country for me to live live in it for my children my grandchildren great-grandchildren oleg kornienko ictv facts the only news on the occasion of the day

of the armed forces today, the deputy minister of defense of ukraine hanna maler, mrs. hanna, is visiting us. i congratulate you on your holiday. by the way, according to the rating of the publication novoe vremya, aga na malyar was included in the list of the 25 most influential military personnel in ukraine, and by the way, she is the only woman in this rating with this i also congratulate you, mrs. hanna, it is not so easy to invite you on the air, you have very little time, but i can not resist asking you about the situation on the front lines, about the situation in our hot spots, we are reading different forecasts for each other, when winter slows down the offensive actions of our military, on the contrary , activates what we can expect in the coming week. well, the weather certainly makes its adjustments , because the weather depends on the extent to which certain equipment can be controlled, and the extent to which certain equipment can be used. at the same time, we should not make predictions of war based on the weather. it will definitely happen it is not correct that today the epicenter of

hostilities in our country is the donetsk region and the enemy has concentrated most of its forces as of today exactly there why well, it is obvious after their losses after they had to leave kherson and part of the kherson region. and after they shamefully and cowardly fled from the kharkiv region, it definitely demoralized the russian army. they definitely need some quick victories in order to raise this spirit, because weapons are weapons, but the morale of the troops is the first thing . it matters because a person uses a weapon. and apparently the russians think that the donetsk region and luhansk. this is a very simple task for them. in fact, they set themselves the task of reaching the borders of the donetsk region already on my memory is in the sixth and they are not able to do it, of course the battles are very hard and the price is very high for the fact

that we defend our borders and here it is already important how we treat the results of what is happening on the front, it is necessary to understand that when we liberate the temporarily occupied territories - it is a victory when we stand firm and do not let the enemy pass, it is also a victory and here it is important to simply compare the balance of forces because we do not hide it , the whole world knows that russia is superior in terms of the number of weapons they have been preparing for all 30 years of our the independents were preparing for this war, and they definitely prevail in the number of personnel , because the country is much larger. and if you compare this advantage and our ukrainian advantages, this is our motivation, first of all, it is the intelligence of our command, the professionalism of our

military, then we are much stronger and stronger in this comparison and the fact that we have been holding on for nine months and the fact that we do not miss, pay attention there, bakhmut, we do not surrender a single centimeter of land. yes, there are some operative things here and there, this is such an operative defensive movement from both parties but we are not surrendering the territory, this speaks of the strength and power of the armed forces of ukraine and today is not just the day of the armed forces, today is the day of the best army in the world because i do not know another army that would hold so much and behind these, well, such pathetic things, the strongest army the army actually stands for not only the strength of victory and indomitability, the blood of our dead is behind it, the difficult , very difficult living conditions of the front itself, there is no

way to make inclusives there such a situation is behind it is that our soldiers are no longer see their families are behind this well, what are the wounded and behind this is the fact that our army, like not the only one in the world, quickly learned to master new types of weapons , that is, the way our soldiers learn, yes, this is unprecedented, and now you and i have entered the phase when before the big invasion we were taught how to fight, now we have reason to teach the armies of the other armies of the world ms. hanna i know that the ministry of defense has launched such an interesting social project, it is difficult but worth it please tell me what you want to convey with this project and what is its purpose of this project, and the ministry of defense is our

society. yes, we also live together with our society. yes, the ministry of defense is actually the support of the front. we must give credit to the fact that despite the fact that, well, i'll be honest, the state is also wounded, yes, it's a war . and a lot of processes today are complicated and war is a very expensive business in order to have two numbers so that, well, our people, the audience, understood in the 21st year, on the 22nd, we adopted the budget of the ministry of defense of the armed forces - 131 billion, just remember number 131 now per month we we pay more than 70 billion in monetary support to the military. that is, you understand that our budget was spent somewhere in the spring, but less, but the ministry of defense today fully provides for the
