which is currently being formed on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine, well, accordingly, and on the northern front, the people's deputy of ukraine, cyborg colonel of the security service of ukraine, roman kostenko, is in touch with us mr. colonel, good day to you, good health to you, i am glad to see you on the air good day, we provide e p congratulations to serhiy thank you so , colonel, today the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, visited bakhmut, donetsk region, he thanked the soldiers defending the bakhmut fortress and presented them with combat awards, let's see how it all turned out you had to support it as much as possible, you know that you inspire our whole society, you know that it's just bach , it's a strong bahmun fortress, i don't want all the fortresses to remain russian flags on their ruins, thank you, be strong, take care of this

ruler, good luck for everything glory to ukraine, let's start our conversation with an analysis of the current situation both on the eastern front and on the southern front. as far as i understand, you are in the south of ukraine, let's start with the south. i would like to comment it is very nice to see when the supreme commander is now in the fiercest place where the hostilities are going on and this is what distinguishes us from the russian federation, really when their president does not get out of the bunker and for them it is enough that he arrived somewhere in moscow was united in the headquarters of the united armies and read some document or pretended that the russians are already building it. as if the president is involved in the war here, the

president reacts directly. fighters and charged them, let's say, well, he charged them, let 's say, on the three hundredth day before the start of the war, he once again motivated them that this is our land, it must be protected, there is no need to surrender, this is very cool, and everyone must admit that i well, i don't remember at all that one of the presidents was so close to the front directly at the time of such aggression, well , i mean number 14 at the very front at the very front not close to the front at the very front yes yes yes at the very front that's why it is here without politics without anything here eh very correct things and very high motivation , even for us. here from the south, looking at it, understanding where they will go for more bloodshed now, it is very nice to see it when the soldiers

of the supreme commander are working directly . yes , yes, well, about the kherson direction well, i will say that the kherson direction is, i think, now one of the most, from a military point of view, the calmest of all the military directions, if you take the military component, it is where active combat can take place actions defensive actions offensive therefore he himself after the release of the right bank when there are both sides and the enemy and we rested on our dnipro river , then here the question is only artillery duels, the work of our reconnaissance groups there, sabotage groups of the enemy, the activity there is more or less in the dnieper on the islands of the dnieper floodplains, there are still some intelligence groups fighting among themselves, but everything else. the

defense is built and the defense line is held by our and our armed forces and the armed forces of the russian federation from a military point of view, our artillery and the dnipro strip are really under control, and because the enemy does not have any active actions now, it is not realistic because the dnipro well, let's say so, to force it, it takes a lot of effort. and when organizing a normal a good defense is practically impossible. if everything is organized correctly, therefore, from a military point of view, i think it is the most peaceful here and there is an opportunity to work with the local population, rebuild , build correctly of the atmosphere, the enemy continues to strike the cities and towns hmm near the dnieper zone, these are the settlements located near the dnieper, which relatively

recently, before the liberation, were still there more or less behind the rear of the occupying forces, the enemy is now destroying them, and this also applies directly to kherson itself, the enemy almost daily strikes with artillery and rocket systems of volley fire and all others along the dnipro from, say, kherson to nikopol and manganese along the entire line of the dnieper, the enemy strikes danger, of course, for the civilian population. well, the artillery door, what concerns the rooster, is a very big problem now. and we talked about it today with local farmers , and what everyone is addressing is the problem of the great dominance of the area. the enemy mined the area even while leaving, even exaggerated all of these. needed only in order to make the land

impossible for the people who have lived there all their lives there, including in agricultural work and for movement in the near future they are used to going to different places there. yes, for example, there is an elementary cemetery that they mentioned. therefore, now a lot of work needs to be done by our ministry of internal affairs, our ministry of emergency situations, and the army here. of course, we need to speak for the students of international companies for that to make life normal it's not enough light to give little water but it's also very important but the territory needs to be demined because i already know a certain number of cases when you're just free people in the family blew themselves up with children on their own when tractors in the field were blown up there, agricultural activities were undermined. that is why this is a big problem that will continue to affect us for decades. i am sure of this. that is why we also need to

attract maximum strength here now, in parallel, mr. colonel, as for the direction of bakhmut, today president zelenskyi spoke about the fact that bakhmut has turned into a fortress, but we know that probably half of the city has already been destroyed by the russian occupiers, they continue to destroy this city and like other cities both in the east and in the south of ukraine, what is the goal after all the russian army sets before itself how strategically important this city is for the russian federation. why are they storming this city so persistently? well, actually, as a result of these assaults, they can achieve one strategic goal, but it is strategic in the conditions of war, it is not strategic in the war with russia ukraine, but for them, within the framework of the defeats they have won recently, it is strategic for them. it is strategic for them , it is the seizure

of the borders of the luhansk and donetsk regions, the exit and submission of some minimal well, for them it is the maximum victory and for their internal market propagandists. failed in general, they failed in all their plans, and now they are trying to rework their goals somehow and look objectively. and what can they do? and they see that, in principle, if they concentrate their efforts, take away part of the daily axis direction to concentrate them in the eastern region, then you can still try to add lug of the chernivtsi region and submit this victory to that... they are trying to gradually push there exactly. if we talk about bakhmut in the framework of the...

what strategic e-e strategic location does it not have any strategic e-e strategic importance e-e it is not even operational there is no operational-tactical it is the exit to the e road to bakhmut kostyantynivka what else on which still later it will be necessary to go through the same mines again, the same our preparation is the second line of defense there, you need to look at the terrain, as far as i have seen, it is so much better even than bakhmut for us, and also than bakhmut itself, that is why the russians, uh, are now trying to capture bakhmut in such a step-by-step way and capture the entire donetsk luhansk region, why bakhmut? also, i have already talked about it more than once here. also, in addition to the military, operational and tactical significance, it has a very great political significance for them, first of all for the russian federation itself after the loss of many settlements that they lost after the kharkiv offensive

genius operation after the withdrawal from the kherson direction to our defense forces forced them to withdraw after the loss of kherson itself kherson is such a slap to putin yes it was the only city that was captured of regional importance, what kind of victory is needed in some city, because bakhmut is considered a big city, they considered it for war, and now they have already promoted it, and they are trying to take it, there is a political and subtext in this the political one also plays a role in this wagner’s chk which plays its politics in this political in this political battle for the russians for us it is a battle for our country for each for each home for each citizen they are trying to show both putin and russia that they are already as a separate such a structure can play some more significant roles than just uh, some team that performs tasks somewhere abroad, a series or something, the same beauty

is trying to show putin that they are worth something, and we know there based on our data intelligence is almost nine times greater than the enemy's forces, that is, they threw everything there and for several months they can take it, so i already talked about it, i'll say it again that under bakhmut now such military, political and bandit forces have come together, because in a different way i criminal, let's say it in another way, i am chivyka wagner to the sound of the criminal goals of the russian elite, each of whom under something sees their desire and from this to have some kind of political military and eh, as chvk wagner is evil, that's why they fight for it anyway the city, which i say once again, has no strategic value god forbid we pay a tax, even if we leave there, it will not mean that they won the war or that they took some perspective there, they took some operative spaces there. some of

them will be able to develop. on the day when zelenskyi arrived in bakhmut, mr. colonel, putin celebrates the kdb day, because today in russia the great feast of the simonians is celebrated there. others by the way, the photo you have on facebook is very, very iconic, such a photo for an award there is very i have not seen it before, you were good thank you well, how are we now video let's see how putin presented awards today well, in contrast to zelensky, who was at the front let's look at putin's verkhovna rada family rank
