big christmas trees were installed even in supermarkets ah and now i know two or three supermarkets here where high ceilings can be erected and this is done, they are already there except for the metro station that you are showing now . the head of the condominium, we also thought about this issue here, before we always put it on the street, we had such a recreation area there, and there we put a christmas tree, lit garlands, and so on . now on i hope there will be santa claus, but here we have made our trend, we decided to make a point of infamy in our warehouse. we are promised by the authorities to provide a generator so that we can do it all. they cleaned everything, put up a christmas tree, some sofas, lighting and residents of the house. those who use our storage will come there and we will celebrate together, you know, in the

new trend of bomb shelters with a christmas tree, uh, new year. well, somehow, i hope it will be like this. surely some heads of condominiums are looking at our project and thinking, oh, so now our residents will look at us, obey us and demand this from me here, or some heads of condominiums are right, then they will think that they will have to take note and also do something like this in themselves so that people can have a holiday. thank you, mr. bohdan, for the conversation, bohdan tkachuk the deputy of the kharkiv district council talked a little about problems and holidays because a lot of people, despite the fact that we all find ourselves in such conditions, want at least a little bit of that normality of ours, which reminds us that life can be different holidays they are actually returning to this information, i will tell you this. this is our supreme council and, uh, our

government in general. i would say so, which yesterday, after all, voted for this bill that we discussed yesterday 56-55, which allows developers to build whatever they want as they they will want to have enough money for bribes, at least this is what the union of architects claims, and absolutely all mayors spoke against it. well, for example, the garden mayor of lviv commented on this yesterday. self-government in the words of hryhoriy skovoroda, every city has customs and rights, forget about it, and then he talks about this law and says that he ends it like this, listen to the quote of the city mayor . to say not everyone voted, servants of the people, but with the help of all former opaszheshniks and former party regionalists - that's a fact, well, oh, but some

people there, for example, did not support this in general, the draft law received only two votes from the minimum 200, er, 28 out of 226 required, that is, you understand. that is, everything was probably going to be voted on, and now dmytro gurin, one of the deputies of the servants of the people, for example, yesterday announced a petition collecting signatures for that that the president was whistling in 6 hours, 25,000 votes were collected in six hours, this petition is so that zelensky will not have to answer for it, but what you see the authorities remind us everything is fine everything is as usual, we are always in the first place to be stolen everything is fine we are not we are changing, good old ukraine, it’s okay, the war is over, and a little explanation for those who can now learn some new ukrainian words, the word vkurlyuete e means don’t annoy, don’t get angry, don’t be nervous, and in principle, there is nothing so caramel in this word, it comes from the latin word e-e which is

translated into our language as a curve from the fact, well , linguists say that this is exactly how it is. yes , we end our language lectures with a small word and move on. vitaly barabash, head of the avdiiv military-civil administration we are in contact with italy. good morning. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. glory to mr. vitaly. please tell me what the current situation is in avdiivka and in the adjacent regions. that this is from the polish campaign, i’m being honest. they joked well, now serious things eh, the

night in the city passed more or less peacefully there were such isolated flights in the second part of the city, this is all related to the weather conditions, because it has been raining and fogging for the third day there, that is, the conditions are not very favorable for the work of the correctors of unmanned aerial vehicles, respectively, and when it rains, the barrel artillery does not work very well. well, and also mortars because there are certain technical problems, let's say, after using these systems during the rain, the night was more or less calm, although already in the morning there was literally somewhere around 20 minutes. therefore, there was already one mass shelling of the communications system in the old part of the city in a day so far we don't have it information about the injured civilians, not injured, not killed, thank god, we do not have a proposal

around the city along the line of defense, so there is a little bit. we will say that everything is more difficult, because the fighting does not subside there , even at night, and we heard yesterday both during the day and at night, even shooting battles around the city, that is, at the positions, are very hot. i just remember that sometime in july, russian propagandists began to tell that they had already almost taken the audiobook that here and now even if it is in russian in google to score, for example, avdiivka, among the popular

ones there will be requests to take it or not. did they take the avdeevka yes, well, literally in russian yes, i say well, once again, they only took as much as possible by mouth and no more well, the situation has not changed here, they do not abandon this attempt of their desire to surround the avdeevka after all, and she throws it at as much as possible eh, the equipment there is a live target, it’s clear and the systems are different, artillery barrel doors, mortars , airstrikes, that is, it all happens . here is the direction of kamyanka, novoselok and the friend and the promky. well, they don't do anything there at all. that's why they see that they have something in common there. that's why they concentrate

there. how many people are left now? those who remain in avdiivka what are their arguments that they still do not leave the city that is constantly being shelled. as far as i understand, there is no electricity in avdiivka, there is no heating, and the water supply is also not all right. yes, really avdiivci. there are no such uh, i was in we call it civilizational, so there is nothing, and there is no light for more than 7 months, there is no heat. well, it is clear that the source of heat supply in the city was the avdiiv chemical plant on march 13, it was shelled very powerfully, after that the heat in the city disappeared there is also no gas in the city, and we did not have a centralized water supply even before this

full-scale threat, or did we build a filtering station in donetsk because we requested it from the sfs in donetsk? that's why water is only from wells , uh, there are several wells in the city that work at the expense of generators, we turn them on. people come and collect water. for the month of november, because we already had a number of people. a little less than 2,000. now we see that there are more of them, and we can see that there are significantly more people, even on the streets. there are more people than that we have already left and there are not enough waiting for us. the money has run

out. there are those who left at all, motivating themselves by the fact that they survived the 14th and 15th, even the 17th year, so they will survive it, someone says that you do not understand us, you parachuted into the local, this is our land, although by the way, i am a local, i was born literally 12 km from avdiivka that's why i know this city childhood. when you start talking to them about some detailed things, they try to explain to them, yes, they agree that it is not like the war that was in 14-15 , so they understand that there are no questions, uh, well, in the city, tell me, it will be very difficult, they understand that, uh, now on the right that week, when i was very, very strong, i went to bed, we couldn't even go to the city for all the food aid, and there,

as they say, it's difficult only ahead, er, well, people even have the opportunity to go within the boundaries of the region, there is such an opportunity to evacuate within the boundaries of the region very pleasant conditions and there is also typical light and water and it will be constant even if there are some principles, that is, it has everything, let’s say yes, well, some backup options for the generator, i mean wells by administrators and boiler rooms, not only basic a and i still forgot, well , that is, there is an option, but they are going, well, i think that you know, for these months, while we are persuading them to go , well, we had everything, we created with them and agreed and were nervous about each other, now even that is gone because well, i guess we are it's just like that, fish, it's just, er, our house,

ours, let's say some kind of conditional well, er, the option of avdiyivka, yes, there is some, that's how they say my fortress. yes, here, 80% of them really say it's my fortress, well, you're looking at this excuse me, the fortress of a living place there is no such thing as a fortress, but we still have to get to the car, and perhaps there are even such answers, my parents are buried and i will not go anywhere, although it seems to me that human life is the most important thing that needs to be preserved. indeed, only 13 km from donetsk is avdiyivka, and it is such a fortress outpost of ukraine, er, we are on the eastern front, er, thank you very much, vitaliy, for this conversation, er, vitaliy barabash, the head of the avdiyiv military-civilian administration, we included avdiyvka, which remains and is with such a bone in the

throat, in fact, the occupier is very close to donetsk. this is such a ukrainian fortress that really stands here, so on, the commander of the fourth company of the 128th battalion of the 112th brigade of the territorial defense of the armed forces of ukraine is in touch with us in the city kyiv member of the kyiv city council councilor committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security, defense and intelligence yuriy fedorenko from the direction of kharkiv oblast luhansk oblast yuriy good morning, it's hot there glory to ukraine glory to the heroes now it's freezing moscow is hellish zharkova happens periodically, thank god everything is fine surely we are working on the fulfillment of the task, and how hot it is hellishly hot in them. when the temperature on the street is low in ukraine, they find, so to

speak, a toolkit in order to force hell roast the occupier in the territory he is currently holding. kudos to our artillerymen who use the weapons provided by our international partners very accurately. what is the current situation in the direction where you are? i understand that this is the luhansk direction. kharkivska, it would be correct to say that the character of your enemy remains unchanged and since the last two weeks, that is , the first line has been building two lines of defense against them line of defense which is directly on the line of contact and where along the road r07 public information the road is partially under our control partially under the control of the russian occupation forces and the second line of defense they are now actively

preparing to send because why so because the enemy understands that the armed forces of ukraine in in the future and not in the distant future, it will still be possible to purchase the settlement, accordingly, they are already preparing a second line of defense outside it, as for the armed forces of ukraine, advancing forward and the preparation of a position for a more exiled advance let's say it goes on every day and there is also preparation for the winter because in order to effectively develop a counter-offensive action, the composition must be especially relative to security. it was possible to warm up, accordingly, the armed forces of ukraine are now actively engaged in this without stopping the search operations, but to dig into the current conditions,

as much as it takes more time, to the extent that it it's more difficult, well, actually, the ground has not frozen critically , that is, there are 10 to 15 layers of soil that are quite difficult to dig through, the rest are exactly the same as in autumn , respectively, now there is no such precipitation , which did not give the opportunity to fully dig them, it was there three weeks ago, the preparation of the opposition was it is going smoothly and powerful enough to tell us that yesterday they talked with the guys from under the bahmut and they said that it was even so that the cold was bothering me more than the constant shelling, that is under the bahmut, that is, as far as it is possible under these conditions maintain, i don't know, fighting capacity, morale, what soldiers save themselves from, you must always understand the specific positions and places where this or that unit is located, if we are talking about the first second

line of defense, then it is clear that the first line of defense will overlap, the position will take longer to prepare due to the influence if we talk about the second line of defense, it will break away faster, it will be of higher quality, if we talk about the advanced positions, it is clear that bakhmuti. moreover , we are not always systematically better the opportunity to make an overlap of the gap, to start some kind of stove, to put a stove that gave the opportunity to properly heat this or that dugout, so of course there are problems with the fact that in the advanced positions in bahmut and we will have to dress extremely heavily, take vodka with you and try to warm up in the place that it is not always possible to save people there day after day in firing positions that are constantly under the main influence of the enemy. motivation, motivation of the character of the armed forces of ukraine

is more than enough, it is difficult for the guys, but they stand and carry out the assigned tasks, they perform them with sufficient quality, not a single centimeter of our land has been surrendered to the forces of the enemy, they are brought up, it becomes more, how much their war is changing, mobilization in russia the second wave of the federation is ongoing, this is publicly available information, accordingly, they have more than enough manpower, as for the training of the mobilized, the enemy threw them into advanced positions earlier mobilized unprepared as a force to fill. so now on the territory of ukraine there are training centers for the russian occupation troops, including for the mobilized, where they undergo elementary classes with fire training and combat formations, after which they are sent to one or another direction, according to the illusion of not having an enemy in manpower it is enough as

far as the training of manpower is concerned. well, there is a question here, but at the same time it is worth noting that the armed forces of ukraine are looking at official tasks the general staff is effectively liquidating both the enemy's manpower and armored vehicles as well as artillery, so despite the fact that the opposition is trying to bombard the section of the front with bodies, i think that he will not be able to compare the initiative of the armed forces of ukraine. has the mayor of kharkiv terek managed to master the language? i just came across it by chance. someone wrote on facebook that he had watched a movie. ukrainian about the military and there the husband and wife were watching and the husband can't be like that because people in ukrainians don't talk like that in normal life and she says and i went to tik-tok and

came across our guy on the front line, i'm quoting here lines he is also in the east and a model and speaks theatrical ukrainian look at every ukrainian language teacher speaks like that well, i see that this model she apostolates is you, i then wrote her that she is a deputy of the kyiv city council tell me how you managed to do so well er, speaking in ukrainian, what happens that even teachers can envy you, the question you asked me was not prepared at all . in the ukrainian language, so i will not say on the air that something is a little different and it was quite difficult to take certain social positions according to 2014, i

communicated in russian after 2014 only in ukrainian and so it was quite comical from time to time. because you know some words, i said it wrong, pray, there was no reserve of words, but over time, not so much has passed. it has probably been 5-6 years , and the language has become pure. you can't do it, but i try to text in everyday life and, accordingly, during combat missions and in the personnel, now when we communicate there is only a certain number of russian-speaking people, i say guys, the language is national identity is what distinguishes us from the occupier, we go into battle, we will lead each other forward in the right way. well, and so

on . number of units of mine, including this is extremely nice. thank you all. thank you yuriy fedorenko , commander of the fourth council. councilor and adviser to the committee of the verkhovna rada of ukraine on national security, defense and intelligence is currently in the direction of kharkiv region, luhansk region , he was with us and told us about how to fight muscovites and how to fight russisms. well, we are moving on, and oleksandr solonko is with us - a military specialist from communications, a participant in the defense of bahmut, he joins us, oleksandr. good day. good day. i should probably add that i am also a ukrainian historian .

provide none the less, well at least i definitely remember a lot of your publications on the historical truth , well, it was a bit like that. okay, i wanted to ask what you can say about the situation also in bakhmut, how it all happens there, but you know with your eyes, it is very generalized the question is around us around bahmut of course it is always such a very electrified informational background and a lot is happening around these events and speculations and in general well let's say so now this word is nominal and it speaks for itself the situation really difficult it is difficult practically all almost 10 months of full-scale war periodically it boils there with great force now it still continues to

be the hottest point of the front the russians are trying at any cost to take the city drink from it the armed forces are trying to cover the city from the flanks cut it off from supplies and so on about two weeks ago, we stopped by one of the front-line cities, that is, my unit, we worked in bahmut there for a month without a stretcher at all , yes, that is, in denmark, we worked at night, trying not to to die simply from random airstrikes, uh, one of the front-line cities went by and somewhere there was already some kind of panic wave, as if the russians had not reached kostiantynivka, the roads were already cut off and so on, that is, such panic attacks happen periodically, i don’t know when, but some kind of ethnic attacks in principle, now the armed

forces control both the city and the roads used to supply the city, that is, the situation has not changed here, but in general in the directions where hostilities are taking place, and this is practically the entire line hmm, in front of the city, on the flanks from the city, very heavy and intense fighting is going on, eh, the russians were pulling everything they could from fire support there and stormed, and this artillery and so on , eh, ours are also being cut back constantly and from our side i work all the time, the artillery works quite successfully, and our unit was regularly engaged in aiming this artillery with quite good success, but in general, the situation is difficult, the enemy has changed tactics, now a lot of people are talking about uh, these so-called assault groups that work from pvk wagner, well, actually, we are our unit, just

one of those visual materials that appeared on the network somewhere a week or more ago, and he did exactly that. that is, we took a video from a drone when we supported the actions of our pi during an attack on one of the observation points of our battalion when a group of wagnerites tried to storm it and knock out our military systems that forced the retreat of a dozen of those waggers. yes, this is our battalion and this is our unit. they, uh, well, at that moment, in general, uh, us, well , this, well, this is precisely the direction where one of the most fierce, heavy battles and it is uh, very difficult for the defense, but just explain to us the people who, of course, well, no no, no, they don't understand it very much, but what , that is, literally two fighters are holding some kind

of area, this is how the dispersion of forces goes. what is this connected with, i won't say about the concentrated concentration of forces, but if you pay attention , the area is cut, this field open and it is cut down by such plantations and often they quite so compact and er, well, not very wide , and when you concentrate er, too large a number of personnel on small territories , it is a very good target for shelling, so the shelling starts in lviv right away. well , they continue constantly, but this is one of the of the basic rules, when you place personnel , they should be approximately also concentrated so that there are fewer losses during artillery fire, yes. that is, it is just an element of tactics, of

course. let's say this when there are battles in heavy in such difficult conditions, when there, well, it was at the end of november, that is, in principle, even in winter, the issue of mud remains relevant. but nevertheless , it was more than relevant then, the coldness of the mud, the dampness, eh. this is another factor that affects how let's say so the personnel can withstand everything, so if you have to work in very difficult conditions, that is, not only the issue of shelling , not only the issue of shooting battles. and how do people withstand the issue of the conditions in which you have to work ? a day of mud and cold and, well, to see that it is quite difficult to endure. and this is another factor that puts pressure , for example, on our infantry. well, of course, there is nowhere to go . people work, perform combat tasks, but you just

need to understand the conditions in which they have to work. well, in order to keep the control in a not very wide forest strip, a few fighters may be enough, but we should understand that if the tactics are exactly what the so-called tactics of small groups used by the enemy say, i did not invent them our armed forces also used the armed forces of the nato countries, that is, the enemy simply adjusts , takes over some, let’s say, the best gains there or some tactical elements, but yes, we have a minute left, but you know, it seems to me that it is not enough. i am sure that in this war there is a very there are many examples of heroism, and we sometimes see them, but we don’t even know the names of these people, what happened to them afterwards, and so on, unless somehow

we learn something posthumously. why are there so few of these heroic stories, or are there not enough of them? should they be well, i am coming to you as a historian who also surely sees how it is written now, this is a very important page of the history of ukraine. well, i will tell you as a person who does not have a historical education, i will tell you that the stories of the fighters must be told , unfortunately, yes it often happens that they are told posthumously, but there are certain nuances here. do , for example, soldiers want to tell these stories themselves? that is, sometimes a person who has experienced some traumatic experience does not really want to talk about it, or a person who is a professional military serviceman does not run for laurels there. yes, that is, it is also a question of what they themselves want to tell about themselves, and yes, i definitely agree with you
