and yesterday there was a session, besides being officers, i am a deputy of the kyiv council, i was at the session, so i have not yet returned to kharkiv oblast. you know about the situation in kharkiv oblast, in particular from your brothers, but we are interested in the main trends . the situation in the direction of svatove kreminna is quite difficult because the number of troops drawn there by the russian occupation army is quite large and the enemy group can make a counteroffensive on kupyansk, the head of the kharkiv ova oleg sinyoguba says that he does not see a threat of a possible attack on kupyansk. in your opinion, is such a scenario possible? well, it is actually very difficult to guess all the bad enemies. i am sure that different developments are possible. a week, the fact that

there is a greater number of personnel and weapons of the enemy, it is clear that they are withdrawing troops in this direction, therefore, at the moment, there are no such direct movements , and on the contrary, it is proceeding slowly, so to speak , but it is still proceeding step by step contour offensive actions of the armed forces of ukraine about the weather and the fact that the enemy has withdrawn a large number of mobilized and equipment does not give us the opportunity to advance quickly, how high is the concentration of the enemy and in general it is about the pace of concentration howl because we understand that this is so to speak one of the auxiliary signals but i say that in recent weeks - it is felt that there is much more concentration, i can see it from the amount that we uh my colleagues see and accordingly there is a slowdown in what exactly

the advance really helped us for a while. frosty weather, but now it is warming again, and therefore, in fact, the status quo of the warming weather remains. those who are on the defensive, even in the active one, i am now talking about our enemy. what does this mean on the one hand? i think we have all seen the footage, which is actually not very pleasant either, but the feeling when you are covered in water and you are constantly in such a wet situation on the other hand, it is easier for them because the pace of advancement and the ability to use manners are much lower for the advancing troops because there is no possibility to use the entire width of the front because there is no

suitable surface on which the equipment can walk. the level of preparation for winter yes, and to possible scenarios, you may have information on how well or, let’s hope, they provided the enemy well . that means they have some sort of provision, but the quality of this provision is difficult for me because the shelling is going on, this means that the equipment is ready to wage war in the winter period, but to what extent there is enough of it or the level, i cannot say, there is no such information, there is an area from the territory of the russian federation from the belgorod region, in particular, we know that they are building some er fortifications there with some cubes or pyramids, it seems. and

they fear that er, our er movement of the defense forces may, let's say, get a little lost and go further of the ukrainian border, our higher military political leadership has emphasized many times that the ukrainian state is not interested in anything more than within our borders, exclusively within our territories, perhaps you know what moods currently prevail on the border territories in russia. well, what about the fact that we are fighting for our own land and actually restoring it within the borders in 1991, the territory was completely controlled by the armed forces of all of ukraine and the ukrainian state. here i can only agree with our leadership, but if possible, all of us together we are witnessing this to you if we see within reach of targets that are even on the territory of the russian federation or within the reach of our weapons, we will of course destroy them because they lead

fire and destroy our servicemen on the territory of ukraine very often their e-e installations, in particular s300, do not work only in the land mode, what did they adapt them to? but also in the air defense mode, not vadim. what can this be related to? to guess about our equipment that can attack , well, that is, in fact, it is a bpa a-a, which, with care, have the ability to go at a long distance, i hope and believe that our ukroboro-prom or other enterprises will as soon as possible supply us with a more long-range damage and an even more childish damage uav for that so that we can attack the equipment even further so that our peaceful cities are not subjected to these

terrorist attacks, which, unfortunately, still occur from the russian federation, which attack not the armed forces but the civilian population of vadim using the possible kyiv government and a number of important decisions were made, in particular, we followed the renaming of the ukrainian capital, and the course of this trend . please share your impressions of the work . and the most important thing for yesterday was, well, we actually adopted the program of social and economic development of the budget for 2023, adjusted some other budgetary issues in 2022, but with a renaming. i am very pleased to announce that we will finally have a boulevard of mikhnovsky, that is, the founder of the ukrainian state in the 20s of the last century the creator of the armed forces of ukraine, a true ukrainian patriot, and now instead of druzhba narodov boulevard, we will have mikhnovsky boulevard.

also, we noted that it is very important for one of the generals of the army of the ukrainian people's republic, vsevolod petrev, who fought for ukraine in the 20s, and wrote many works for those and the future , in fact, as we are now in which armed forces, and it is precisely to him that the phrase that the armed forces of ukraine is a continuation of the ukrainian society of the ukrainian people is not something separate formation a is a single organism a-a well, i hope that the draft on the banning of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate on the territory of kyiv, the condemnation of its activities, which was approved in the first reading under my authorship, will be approved as a whole at the next session, which the government will demonstrate to the capital and in general, ukraine in terms of its position regarding, and in fact, agents of the russian federation who operate on the territory of kyiv and not only to the detriment of kyiv throughout ukraine p. vadim, finally,

i would like to clarify and how can you evaluate the preparation of kyiv for various critical scenarios, that is, it is about the preparation of the defense of the city and the corresponding critical infrastructure , and, well, in fact, we are all together witnesses that, unfortunately, the critical infrastructure receives a very large blow, because it is impossible to predict terrorist attacks of the russian federation on such a massive scale until before these events, until february 24, 2022, there were no such massive strikes. well, in the world, you can probably even imagine such a number of missile strikes, air strikes, and sea-based strikes therefore, critical infrastructure is not everywhere. unfortunately , it can cope with that intensity, but i am grateful to all the services that restore our and energy

, water supply and communications, and i can only call the state emergency service, the police, and they often, well, precisely in such critical situations should be more active on major roads, this applies to our avenues and boulevards because , unfortunately, when the lights go out and we don't have regulation, we still have difficulties, and that's why i would be grateful if i did this more than once for example, perova boulevard at all intersections there is no light, there is a very difficult situation on the roads . i think that the police have drawn attention to this. i have already appealed to them on several broadcasts. i hope they will turn on the workers. well, please connect the traffic lights . kyiv , a deputy of the kyiv city council was currently working in our marathon. well, germany continues

negotiations with washington and other partners regarding the supply of tanks to ukraine, but the decision regarding the transfer of its leopard 2 tanks has not yet decided on this, the representative of the press service of the federal government , christina hoffman, said at a briefing on friday, and the european truth is that our principles are known . of cooperation , hofma did not remind that none of the nato countries or partners has yet provided battle tanks for the armed forces, while she noted that in fact there are constant and intensive contacts between the german and american sides, in particular inter-counselors and foreign policy issues , respectively, of the president and the chancellor on the subject of arms supply to ukraine well, earlier a signal came from the united states that they were not against the decision and the decision of germany to hand over the second leopards to us although this decision should be

an initiative exclusively of the germans well, meanwhile, in mariupol they are fixing the movement in the direction of berdyansk vehicles without identification marks with ammunition reports the adviser to the mayor of mariupol petro andryushchenko, we are recording the movement of vehicles after the nature of victory on the long ice, new convoys with they set off with ammunition, according to him, the equipment is moving in the direction of berdyansk, there are no identification marks on it. well, regarding the same area, the situation in the zaporizhzhia region, the general staff confirmed information about hitting the locations of the occupiers in berdyansk tokmak, melitopol, energodar, dniprodnoye, podolakh and vasilivka, the enemy's losses are about 240 people were injured, three ammunition warehouses were destroyed, about 20 units of military equipment of various types , and deployed at the base of tokmansk anti-tuberculosis dispensary, the hospital is completely filled with wounded servicemen of the

russian occupation forces, and we are moving on. and in connection with the studio, viktor tregubov, captain of the zsu , journalist, publicist, blogger, social and political figure, co-founder of the party of the dempsoker and denys popovych, a military expert, journalist, we welcome you, dear slava ukraine , it's time to hold back, just forgive me for a small offtop, so to speak, a story about a famous ukrainian writer from buryansk who speaks under the pseudonym baton, his name is if i'm not mistaken, andriy vasylov so, mr. trigubov, well, you, as one of the authors, so to speak , of this investigation, please tell me how this case is progressing now and, in general, what motivated you, so to speak, to deal with this topic in an asylum, well, let's say that i have been for a while. well, who the first one noticed it years ago, but there was a person who was

patriotic, put in something, in principle, it doesn’t interfere. well, what about himself in general, but it’s not as if the writers say it’s allowed, but the problem was that he misled some a certain amount people, including my friends, and especially for me, the critical limit became the 100 element when he first began to talk about the actual missiles in the context of our defense, who loves me, as an expert, i will tell you that we have all the moves recorded there, that we know where all the missiles are flying is already somewhere else a dangerous topic. and secondly, when he started selling things of non-existent people from the auction. well, this is just fraud according to our criminal code . to immediately somehow separate just so that uh then it got worse simply because sooner or later i already knew that he was already invited to a conference like kostya in ukraine, for some reason we don't really like to check people's biographies in general, but i'm sorry

when a russian is that kind of simple he sits in the usa and does not work at all, not in any of us. and in general, on this topic, and it is known that a pathological brand starts talking about missiles. and ukrainian society listens to him, spreads it there and refers to him, this is already a little not what i wanted i would like to see this prologue, i am the main one, maybe now there is some feedback or, i don’t know, maybe there are some prospects for the development of this story, the case is certainly interesting, that is, it is about the lustration of the biographies of one or another, you know, we have as many military experts now as there were almost no experts on the coronavirus, so at one time there were many political scientists, i.e. people with some completely fancy diplomas who, unlike political science, very often did not have any humanitarian education nothing in common or related to her suddenly began to appear under such labels. well, maybe

now some kind of such a wider, broader information company is being prepared for the check. i understand that you, as a military serviceman, now have other responsibilities. well, but we, maybe it would also come in handy somehow in order to clear our infospace it seems to me that i am sincerely convinced that this should be done on the part of the audience, because it cannot be simply taken and launched. it seems to me that every person should first of all learn, because we live in an era of web-20 learn to ask yourself questions and if a person tells me something, do i have any alternative sources, it is possible to check it if a person says something absolutely fantastic, and excuse me, for example, the story about how a citizen of russia with an orientalist education suddenly got a job with us and manage satellites well, agree, it sounds a little fantastic, but as you know, everything is possible when you are trending. so here you can simply ask yourself the question,

am i not being misled by this question itself, but show me at least some kind of certificate of his own work should have been asked by his readers, his viewers, all those people before inviting him, for example, to the same i don't know , but the actions of the events are different, but there even state bodies were noted several times, not to mention journalists, before the journalist takes a comment that she says that i'm an expert, but you somehow checked this blood, how do you understand that it's not just that i can also say about myself that i'm an expert, i can say that i'm actually a ghost of kyiv and it will be very difficult to refute because no one has seen it because of kyiv. that's why it seems to me that people should check all the information for themselves, check all the authorities, because there have already been clinical cases like this, there was a certain tazhbelov, er, the uzbek seems to be er, and a provocateur, a person of provocation precisely for the benefit russia is now promoting the topic of the third maidan in kyiv

and so on, but at the same time he somehow took a photo with mcqueen, because it is clear that in the states he worked for truckers and pretended to be successful as mccain's assistant, it's good that people then they checked, but you understand that here is a person who just took a picture somewhere on the street and everything, and she is already mcqueen’s assistant, she is already speaking on behalf of bassein in the ukrainian med and she is already calling people there to some maidan tracks. but it seems that it was after the death of her mother that is why we ourselves are putting ourselves in danger, even if we were to be attentive to christian questions. small, you introduced me as a military expert, a journalist, and i am a military reviewer from a journalist. if in this way, additional experts

are experts in general, and the view is a person who has practical and theoretical life experience, one or another ceremony did the right thing, what corrected us, we need to be brought to order, you understand, there are a lot of different we have self-proclaimed experts, so to speak . well, it's very correct if we all react to something like this in a friendly way, but what about what a colleague said about uh, that he uh, worked with a person there who pretended to be experts, we were very interested to hear about this ks. i must admit that he was unknown to us before this, just a person i did not contact. i did not have any contact with this person who was discussed above. well, i can only agree with the statement of the investigator that it is necessary to at least understand this, you are asking for comments, this is an explanation for the big account, although this person

should be googled as the one who pretends to be. let's talk about the issue of range of our years, when it comes to working out enemy rears, deep rears, kyiv promised not to use american weapons , it emphasizes for strikes on the territory of russia, but crimea - this does not apply to the position that the peninsula is an internationally recognized territory of ukraine, said the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba in an interview with an american publication is worth quoting, ukraine should not be a constant victim, we are a country that is fighting on all fronts for its survival, for its territorial integrity, so we cannot demand from ukraine to adhere to certain red lines when it defends its territories well, mr. denys, the question will be for you eh we still do not have any conscious public official information about what periodically happens at the russian airfields of engels diageleva, even

periodically there in kursk e- е maybe in belgorod еv rostov region but we understand that all this is a natural consequence of the military actions that the russian federation has deployed against us not to use american weapons, instead to have our own alternative, in your opinion, we have already gone this way well, we have already gone this way, i am relying on the message about you, the promo is completely official, they say that a ukrainian drone is currently being tested, which has data from the action of eh, well, 100,000 km and the attention of the combat unit to 75 kg, this is all the efficient information we have shows that we are developing at least such a weapon if we remember the events that took place on the night of december 5 . by the way, eh

the distance from kyiv to saratako is a straight line. i even tried to measure it somewhere and it is 1,000 km , approximately. the russians themselves stated and the representatives of the american mass media stated that with reference to the names of ukrainian officials in these events with these events ukrainian ukrainian military personnel are standing. but again, i repeat officially, we did not recognize our participation was only admitted that there was some kind of cotton on this, so far we are standing. that is, we can only assume that there was some participation of the ukrainian side, if this is really the case, it is very good here because the russians will perfectly understand that now they do not have any safe place in fact, in the european part of the russian federation, it worries me that we stand on this, because

it seems to me that some kind of movement in this direction should begin, a certain psychological limit has now been overcome and work in the rear in russian has already begun, nevertheless, can the achievements of our ukrainian national defense industry replace our perspectives, for example, the attacks of mr. to you those attacks eh well, it seems to me no, it definitely doesn’t work i think our colleagues know about the actual beztologists, the conditions knowing the corresponding limited ones, do they know how exactly it differs from this artificial work is different from something more reliable, that's why i think they won't

, at least, ask the question that you can handle it yourself . of the military, actually. not with the drones you hit engels with. well, it most likely won't happen. because they understand how much this thing is an artificial feeder . it's just that each such operation must be understood that each such operation is an operation, as the latins say hack that is, it's not something that's done on an industrial level, but it's something artificial, something made for a specific task. and the fact that it will be possible to repeat it, not a fact, not a fact. well, there is such a possibility, but every time. well, it's like imagine that you have a bow for example, to go for this block, each of the targets is drilled separately, you didn’t have the charm of texturebs, and

also, well, the force is removed separately, that separately, a tip is put on it, it’s all a little more difficult, it’s all not as industrial level as the same otakans , so it seems to me that our colleagues it is understood and to say that you have it, we won’t give it to you, you can, except as, well, you know, it’s just a number from the naska e-e calculation of the situation when i found another excuse if for this one, well, accordingly, we understand that the history of russian strategic airfields is , so to speak important, but there is an even more important story, we are entering the winter season, now representatives of our armed forces talked with us both in the east and in the south. well, there are no such frosts that would allow a powerful offensive maneuver both on our side and on the enemy's side, but in any case we understand what we are entering the winter campaign. russia is concentrating and gathering resources. this is how it is drawing people to the

kharkiv direction and not only there. so, denis. how do you see the preparations of the russian federation for the protracted winter campaign ? of course they are preparing measures for a new wave of mobilization, everyone is talking about it and they are talking about it, the genstadt of the armed forces of ukraine was called, even specific numbers of up to 5 million conscripts are planned to be drafted there to the ranks of the armed forces of the russian federation, the issue of their support and their logistical, let's say, supply, because well, this is an important issue, but it is quite extensive, it is a separate topic for conversation, but the very fact that they are trying to mobilize people indicates

that they are aiming at pity for such a more or less miserable company, which can be counted on for at least the next 3-5 months. and what about the enemy's equipment, we understand, well, they can mobilize people, they can distribute them kalashnikov, they can give out 10 horns there or two at a time. and before that, they still put themselves on the training ground, but the issue of equipment , in particular, armored vehicles and normal systems of the rocket hall for fire, is another story. how do you evaluate mr. denis, this is an important casey. well, of course. this is a very important case that affects the conduct of hostilities, but according to certain russian sources, there is an order from putin to protect equipment and not to protect people, that is, they will be human masses, to throw them at the positions of the armed forces of ukraine in certain directions in including in the bahamian direction. now such things are happening and to protect parallel equipment in order

to try to create pressure to a greater extent by human let's say it clearly, in principle, they now have such a policy, but against the background of sanctions, against the background of the impossibility, more or less regularly, of the completeness of their troops with equipment well, they are actually creating rifle divisions, rifle divisions, such units from the time of the second world war. as you mentioned , the skalashnikov rifled weapons, serps machine guns, the same information comes. with such human masses, they are trying to push our defense, more precisely, mr. viktor, your predictions about the winter campaign here are difficult to predict because here all the time, as you can see , black swans of various gases appear when he there will be warming, this is not bad for the ukrainian economy, but if there are some active maneuvers, it

seems to me that it will create problems for both sides, but i still hope that in our it will be possible to break the situation where the russians already have a thin tom strawberry in the northern genovese region, they have a thin one actually in the kherson region, because ours still tried to push back. i am trying to achieve at least some kind of result, and here i hope that ours will hold back, but to organize something there, to say that ours will definitely form bakhmut , it is impossible to say that our latest works are always there, everything is matchmaking, they will go to those old bilska it is also impossible, those plans are definitely there, but such plans can be stolen at any moment, somehow created. and why do you think they are aiming for bakhmut, and not, god forbid, for zaporozhye or

somewhere else, why exactly did they choose bakhmut? because, first of all, wagner is trying to show the result on bakhmut, and wagner now has a certain priority in financing . russia has, well, in principle, they have already faced the task of reaching at least the border of the donetsk region itself , pushing us away from donetsk as a key regional center, and being pushed away from donetsk has not worked out for them yet, and they see it as the main goal, because it was possible at least to sell it as a kind of victory, because if you start the war with the story that now we will protect the population of donetsk, much more people are flying around donetsk than the most important thing

was actually flying before you started, then questions arise why did it all happen and if you at least you pushed away from donetsk for some 23 km, then you can already say that i will do it, we won, we are great people, all this was not in vain, the fact that we did not lose more soldiers than the population, that is, all this is only because we are such a fire, that is why it was worth it this is how likely putin will justify this war when he loses. thank you , viktor tregubov - captain of the armed forces of ukraine and journalist, publicist, blogger, social and political activist, co-founder of the democratic ax party and denis popovych, a military observer and journalist were contact us now news time on the espresso tv channel and anzhelika sezonenko will introduce them. thank you, colleagues in the kyiv region caught another collaborator well, canada introduced sanctions against the russian fe
