who were the regular arrivals, uh, the roof was such a broken building, that's why all the soldiers were of course amazed when the supreme commander in the hottest point of the front personally came not just for any ceremony to communicate with the soldiers, it didn't last there for one or two minutes he came and left who everyone could ask questions and i certainly saw the soldier's reaction. she was very positive. this is a signal that no one is going to surrender bakhmut. bakhmut is the place of our strategic battle. it is very difficult for us. stop the russian aggression at first, but we will take them over well - we will grind them down, we will destroy their this is where their strategic offensive potential is destroyed and this is where, i think , any of their plans for the great campaign to kievshchyna, right-bank ukraine, will be killed. god willing, let it be so. this direction well, it's no secret that the russian federation

is throwing er mercenaries of wagner and this er criminal military group there and that's why for them and for you and for their leader prigozhina is a fundamental er moment to prove hm putin to the russian state well, it is not important for us to prove to anyone that the russian army is not always capable, avgner is capable and judging by everything, it is bakhmut who can become the end of any such legendary status for the russians, for us it has definitely never happened, er, this formation of wagner, because you know how to remember you know, when at the beginning of the war the kadyrovs were crushed near kiev, yes, in irpen, was this column smashed or in buch, i don't remember after that , such a myth about the kadyrovs did not even exist in the russian federation. and wagner how are you? well, i already said that here, you know, we are sharpening the russian army like a pencil, and believe me, there is not

so much granite inside that pencil. it is obvious that the wagnerites fight more enthusiastically for two of the two reasons . first, they are soldiers of fortune. many of them are soldiers of fortune . they like to fight, they pay a lot of money for it, and secondly, when you have the back of the fiery triads, and at any attempt to retreat, they shoot you in the back, well, this is the only thing that drives these wagnerites forward, there are obviously no plans to seize bakhmut putin does not have wagnerites, they have a plan to destroy bakhmut, because everything they reach in donbas they do not seize, they destroy it, wipe it off the face of the earth and they should understand that. all those still single people who are waiting for putin to liberate someone in donbas, russian agents and so on he will never liberate here, he will destroy, destroy ukrainian statehood, identity , and he does not need to destroy it in russia. because putin is fulfilling his internal tasks through the wagnerites, he is emptying russian prisons, because

we see russians on this part of the front russians value equipment and ammunition more than their people, that's what makes the war between our army and theirs different, that for us a person remains a value even here in this meat grinder, but for the russians, it's not people at all, that is, they throw in them, they go to the open growth, this is there will be landings, no one will pick them up, they through their advanced units , through the jailers, probe where it is possible to pass, then they throw in better assault groups , there can be no strategic successes here because, well, we remember them how long do they take to bakhmut? i tell me, this reminds me of the story of konotop in 1659. at that time, too, a huge russian armada was besieged for a very long time, more than 70 days. the ukrainian city of konotop then suffered one of the most painful defeats. it seems to me that we just have to endure. and it is highly

believed that an offensive will begin here, because believe me , the situation is not so easy on a small part of the front, once again, a huge, narrow enemy is concentrated, again, it is concentrated to the maximum , artillery means, human resources, because they are going very hard, very long, they do not stop, they have increased in intensity, they are beginning to resemble the battles in donbas. in the summer, we understand that the russians lost part of their artillery potential, but they still have a lot of iron, the only thing that pleases me is that our weapons are better and more accurate. for example, i work for the american mk-19 grenade launcher is an analogue or competitor of the russian agent 17, the grenade launcher shoots further, more accurately, more accurately, has a greater killing power, and this war is intellectual, you don’t have to have weapons, you have to to have a will and here one must have brains to use these weapons to master the tactics

of possessing these weapons therefore the bakhmut front shows that even with this terrible onslaught of russia it is possible to resist, stand against it, i hope and win mr. yuriyovych, in the context of our program, we talked about zelensky's visit to the united states of america and that they probably talked about it with biden, and biden asked the president of ukraine what a victory would be for ukraine, what would this victory be and if you ask the soldiers, what would be a victory for ukraine for you can you put it in any way? although i understand very well that now the military is busy with something completely different there. personally, i clearly understand that the victory of the russians in this war will be destruction by russian paralysis. russia is like a cancerous

gangrene. and the great ukrainian state, which will be the most powerful state on the border of europe and asia, i believe it. and if we stop, relatively speaking, on the line of february 24, it will be a small respite. even if we stop on the line of august 24, 1991 year, when ukraine was a neutral post- colonial post-soviet state with pro-russian leadership, then this will be only a small respite before the next big battle, so our goal is the destruction of russian imperialism, it is the protection of this space of freedom . today, for many, ukraine is the moral leader of the world today, many see that ukraine is reviving within itself what was already forgotten by all of that europe that ukrainian soldiers are capable of dying for their homeland, fighting and sitting in these trenches believe me for sure that there is no other nation in the world that has been able to

effectively resist the enemy for more than 300 days in such conditions. well, of course, after the victory, i want to see ukraine, ukrainian ukraine, an economic, socially developed, socially just country without oligarchs . special regions where the language of the occupiers must be protected. in other words, we would also like to protect ukraine here and we would really like you not to wait for the soldiers to return and restore order in the rear, and the test to participate in this - this is war it is total, it affects everyone and, first of all, it is necessary to understand that this is a war of the countryside, it is a war of worldviews, russia has its own big idea, their idea is satanic, their idea is cannibalistic, but it is clear and is supported by russian society, unfortunately, it is not just to destroy the ukrainian state, but to erase the ukrainian identity and these satanic horrors we have to oppose russian ideas with

a great idea, because believe me, in the trenches in the mud in the swamp without a great idea, even with good weapons, even with guarantees, it is still very difficult to fight, and our idea is the idea that born by the ukrainian insurgent army of freedom, the people of human freedom, we do not now have a chance to help the peoples enslaved by russia to destroy this monster, only we, no one else in the world is capable of this, and that is why this is our historical mission, we must do it and we must to show that putin is trying to tell that ukraine is some kind of anti-russia, no ukraine is ukraine . understand ourselves that we are the most european country, we are the country that must keep order between the baltic sea and the black sea, we must be the

shaft that will not allow other asian countries to invade europe again, relatively speaking, and we must be aware of this responsibility. but for this, a revolution in human heads and for this, the participation of all ukrainians is necessary, because this is a war of the empire against the nation. this is a total war, and if we want to win, every ukrainian must participate in it not just with weapons in their hands and not only with weapons in their hands, but with their the attitude towards the church of the occupier sometimes oh, you can see how people can still go to the uoc fsb to the language of the occupier, which is exclusively a means of aggression, that is, there is a place for everyone in this war and we really appreciate the work that the ukrainian volunteers are doing here support that russian soldiers do not have because this is really a people's war, it is really a war when we feel that the whole ukrainian nation is behind us and not only the latest weapons help us,

but also children's postcards that are sent to us and volunteer help and the warmth of the souls of our families because we see that now putin is not fighting like that. with us as with our own parents and children, destroying the infrastructure inside the country and, believe us, it is very angry in terms of sports, because we understand that they do not know how to fight like men. they think that by destroying the comfort you have in with this, they will undermine the desire - they will undermine the ability of the nation's desire to fight. and we understand that no, we will fight to the end and must use this historic chance and put an end to russian imperialism . thank you for your really important words, yuriy sirotyuk, a soldier, a grenade launcher of the fifth separate assault regiment in the armed forces of ukraine, in the past, a people's deputy of ukraine from the all-ukrainian freedom association

. and the expert environment, those meetings that took place yesterday prevailed. nevertheless, on sunday, all of ukraine discussed what, what, what can putin, what can putin talk about with lukashenko, because for the first time during the full-scale invasion, it is not lukashenko he came to moscow many times, he came to all of them, and putin went to minsk to see lukashenka, and many people said that putin would try to sway lukashenka, to try to introduce the army of the republic of belarus into the territory of ukraine, and one of the directions is, well , this is still the most likely the direction under consideration is kyiv region, but another direction is volyn, and here the logic of the aggressors is easy to understand, the cutting of the supply routes of western weapons to volyn is further to lviv region, but we have a representative of volyn, mr. myrka, in our studio,

as a general situation in volyn after this meetings because well, in fact, about the entry, the potential entry of the belarusian army, er, this war, where are we talking about how long this war continues, full-scale, what has changed this week, how do the residents of your region feel about it in general, and what would expect and expect if lukashenko and a good man dare to try to cross the ukrainian state border i would probably divide my dialogue with you into three small parts: the first part is the moral part, the second part is the truth, and the third part is the wrongdoing, all in this big one each of us, for example, has a very good idea of ​​volyn, the north, let's say belarus is a

place where a large number of ukrainians live. not a resident of the city who can go to another city for a week just to sleep peacefully for at least a week, if you remember back then when the war was at the height of the occupation, people from those parts of the poltava region were not yet from unoccupied signs. they were traveling in transcarpathia to the frankish region and to volhynia in order to feel at least a little bit safer, and the moral

aspect of this matter is that today we have looked enough at what atrocities were committed by the army of these russians and non-russians so that our citizens, including those who live in the border guards clearly realized the horror of death, the horror of violent death, rape, torture, and people realized this very clearly, and they are very worried, and when they go through those telegram channels, those text messages, those hundreds of something, the belarusians have already run or jumped there or there did they climb or just fall out, it really shakes the heart of those people, people left several times, came back several times, and they have

their housekeeper there, and you know, it's not just water covered, cows, pigs, there are families with a large number of children, older people and they think about it all the time, this is the moral aspect of this case, because they saw what happened in the same kyiv region or chernihiv region or wherever they came, the abomination came to us. they will realize this, can you imagine when they every time or in on any broadcast, they hear it all. so if the moral side of this issue. the second question is the truth, the truth is that how we look at volhynia. and there is a sign to the old man of three states, by the way. in which i participated in the installation of this sign between poland and belarus and ukraine, and there is yagodin, it is the largest transport port in ukraine, through

which all transport goes today, there are no planes, all transport went there, they carry all grain, gasoline , any goods that were previously possible and never went there in such quantities this is a railway point because there. in addition, there is kovel, a big node that connects central ukraine, which also connects galicia and the south. this is the goal. this is the goal. of course, if we move a little to the right. - is this a nuclear power plant, is it a goal, it is also a goal, and if we move further away

, we will see our capital, it will surely be the main goal that our eternal enemy dreams of, that is why we are watching from our side. well, they will go aside kovel yes. that is to say, we saw that the brest region is being accumulated. now all the equipment is being transported by wagons. somewhere there, baranovichi is flying, sitting down. people are worried about it because they understand that kovel is a target, but somewhere there is an awareness that varash is a target. that is why this is a whole question. and when we are watching volhynia and when our military is watching, they are watching intelligence. we fully understand the priority of these goals. after attacking kovel, putin will seize ukraine, well, how long will he stay there? will he reach him or lyubomlya by blocking this route. it seems that

he will not get the effect by seizing the varash power plant. will there be an effect? ​​well, it will be much more effective if they will unlock the rivne nuclear power plant. well, we can only imagine what will happen in this large part. lighting with industry, if shoes for our soldiers are produced in lutsk today, military, high-quality, inexpensive, and they cannot provide it, for example, production, then this will be the case in all other industries. that is, this is the goal. well , of course, we are talking about kyiv about the same the main goal is where they want to plant their vassal and say well, that's all, that's why we look at it, this is the second aspect of it, with such a situation that, well, priorities are not exactly the same

, this is where this attack on volyn is taking place, and from the third side, we understand that our enemy absolutely crazy and if there is an order these serfs janissaries or mercenaries or regulars some circumstances they will go they will go and it will be hard and it will be a continuation of the war it will be a horror of horrors of war horrors of death and in the end it will be the end including dictatorial belarus this is how we see on this is the question. and in conclusion, i would like to say that until the day of the ukrainian army, we drove through those northern regions, stopped by our

boys, friends, relatives, brought as usual everything that we saved from all people. and the most important thing that we should all do is to support our troops completely without compromising almost all of our resources, which only we have. what to strengthen, what we are doing by helping all battalions, units, and directly and through the commanders and through the central command to do everything that depends on us so that anyone whether he will come to volyn or to the great volyn. where is the rivnenshchyna or zhytomyr region, the factors are that he simply did not have the opportunity not just to look at the sky there, that he did not have time to breathe, when he was destroyed, this is our vision of what

putin did there, and he also went back. program performances and i offer to all our guests somewhere already somewhere in such a format of summarization and not only of our today's broadcast, it is at the end of the year, this is the penultimate broadcast of the project, it speaks volumes for its 22nd year and we have such a remarkable date , it is definitely not the one we would like to talk about talk about it, but we must talk about it on saturday , december 24, not only the catholic christmas, many lviv residents will celebrate and it will be exactly 10 uh, 10 months of time for the new large-scale invasion of the russian federation, which she wanted to complete in uh, a few days, but here is the situation it is changing, and already russian regions are under attack. and judging by everything , a serious turning point is taking place in this war. let's try to summarize this year, these 10 months of confrontation, already in this way, you know, in

the format of the new year's programs. probably not a festive one, but nevertheless we all understood how strong the nation is in this 22nd year and it is also important in lviv, melnychuk, your results are actually an incredibly difficult year, a year in which the ukrainian nation is born, the ukrainian nation is reborn , and you know everyone who is here in whether christmas will be celebrated in the rear, whether on the 20th of the sixth or on the ninth, it does not matter much, what matters is that we at that table

, first of all, should remember those who at that time are in the trenches under the direct threat of enemy bullets and understand at what cost we are succeeding and the victory today a lot of people talked about the successes in it are obvious, but we must understand the price of those successes that for each liberated settlement, not one family did not wait for the father of the brother, everything is on and therefore, in fact, the awareness of the great order of the entire ukrainian nation, the understanding of the importance

to celebrate this christmas because the christian holiday, god, is what ukrainians count on, because we are a christian nation and we respect our traditions , these are the feelings i think that every ukrainian will celebrate christmas with conclusion, you know, today we talked a lot about geopolitics, about how everything was changing dynamically, you don't understand that these various plans that were changing in

relation to the civilized world in relation to ukraine, they happened primarily thanks to the ukrainian nation and the armed forces of ukraine, because the first plan was to give javeline to the ukrainians, then evacuate the president, then stop the enemy at any cost, and what we are doing now in this studio. practically everyone is talking about more realistic plans, more optimistic plans about what our main the goal is the collapse of the soviet union, in principle , the remnants of the soviet union, the collapse of the russian empire, this is the blood of the ukrainian defenders of all defense forces, all ukrainians who are fighting, and we must understand why the world was so cautious. it is not because

they are so bad, it is because of the fact that well, when we talk, for example, about the connection of the united states of america, their previous operation ended in support of afghanistan ended in a total fiasco, all the weapons that they provided to the army went to teliga, they had there is a lot of skepticism about whether, i don’t know, some part of ukrainians will really support russia, whether ukrainians will be able to enjoy these weapons or whether there will be political unity, but it all happened and ukrainians are showing their strength every day, and because of that , the support of the entire civilized world is growing. therefore this visit is, as for me, the culmination of this whole struggle, which has lasted for more than 300 days, and it is undeniably historic, it is undeniably

very important, and i am convinced that ukraine will win, russia, moscow will fall, and we we will still be able to calmly understand that this war ended with our victory, because this will be a victory for us, please . well, in fact, on the eve of christmas and the new year, well, we can say that even during december , a number of circumstances appeared that may indicate that it is approaching or is happening because it the process is a certain turning point in the situation in the russian-ukrainian war in the direction of ukraine, and indeed zelensky’s visit to washington is one of the signs of such a turn, because remember the whole of november we were groped for negotiations with russia here and selly to you everyone else came too, and in december there was already an

invitation to washington and an article for an alkaline who, without any pretensions, said clearly and clearly what was needed to take melitopol and putin's desperate attempts to persuade lukashenka to join the war and weapons that he is begging now already in north korea and his fables about the fact that the patriots turn out to be missiles that are even worse than the s300, well, this does not fit into a healthy head, that is, it is a certain despair and, er, most likely, most likely. i still deeply believe that uh in the near future to the united states america will make a decision and go to us. practically everything it wants, because this decision will depend on a change in strategy in the war, and therefore i believe that the more clearly the ukrainian leadership formulates the goals of ukraine in

this war, the better and the sooner this war will end . in favor of ukraine, so i just want to agree with those who in this studio said that the real goal , the real goal and the real victory of ukraine in this war and of the west will also be the termination of the existence of russia as an empire because of the simple exit at the borders of the first year if we will leave russia, even if it is weakened, with putin or without putin, as it is, the war does not stop, it postpones it, and the problem here is that we will most likely not be able to occupy russia, even if it entered the war with you, by analogy with hitler's germany and russia itself cannot be democratized from the middle, there is no historical basis for that and there are no certain forces there for that, so some combination of factors must take place, which will probably consist in the fact that the ukrainian army must knock out the russian

and destroy it so that at least it cannot continue active hostilities, the sanctions should lead to economic collapse in russia and the first signs are already there. look, blumber gives us a very good picture for two weeks of the oil embargo, russian exports fell 2.5 times in two week and on the approach also the baron of petroleum products from february 5 it is 30% of the budget of russia 30%. and a combination of sanctions can lead to a military victory for ukraine can lead to a situation in our issue, we summarize zelensky's visit to washington, what he said in the congress, what biden promised, and what the two of them talked about behind closed doors and
