thank you, they destroyed it before he even understood where he arrived, not where he arrived and did not begin to fulfill his duties, in the end, the rumzkov center conducted such a significant sociological study, and as a result of it, it became known that 87% of ukrainians surveyed by the rumzkov center answered that they do not want restoration of the soviet union no, it is very interesting to look into the eyes of these 12 percent of 13% who want the restoration of the soviet union. news release from my colleagues from the ukrainian editorial office of b8 news good evening we are from ukraine

russia lost 103,300 220 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 620 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 316 tanks in ukraine 6,024 armored combat vehicles 1,998 artillery systems 418 rocket salvo systems 212 anti-aircraft guns 283 aircraft 670 267 helicopters 4,652 vehicles 16 ships boats, 653 cruise missiles, 1,707 drones, 179 units of special equipment, the enemy suffered the greatest losses in the bakhmut and liman areas. putin was pulled into a

pickle . colonel of the armed forces of ukraine mr. colonel good day and good health to you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes thank you for joining our broadcast so today the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky held a meeting of the stake supreme commander-in-chief, at which, among other things, the defense action plan for 2023 was reviewed , of course they also talked about the situation that is currently developing near the settlements of bakhmut and crimea. yesterday, in his address to the ukrainian people, president zelensky described the situation near bakhmut and said that it is quite difficult. let's see the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, the first front, the bakhmut crime scene and other areas in donbas, which

now require maximum strength and concentration, the situation there is difficult, painful, the occupiers they are spending all the resources available to them, and these are significant resources, in order to cultivate at least some kind of promotion, and i thank all our guys who stand in positions, stand firm and who nevertheless find opportunities not only to lose nothing, but to knock out the occupiers, minus them deputy minister of defense of ukraine hanna the painter says that the enemy faces an important task by the end of the year, namely to get to the administrative border of the donetsk region e.p. petre, what is the current situation around bakhmut and why are the russians so eager to take this city ? the truth is that the situation is unchanged, in my opinion, for the russians, bakhmut has turned into such a peculiar ukrainian verdent, let’s remember the year 1916, i really like historical parallels, when the

french and germans could not solve the combat task under this settlement after 10 months, and tens of thousands of people actually died there, so for russians this is definitely already a ukrainian brand, they can’t seriously move forward because from the first to the first yes, you can say you can’t in september, they advanced to within about 10-12 km of ours. this not even the operational depth of the brigade, why is bakhmut important for them, let me remind you that 95% of the war is a war of artillery and ammunition trucks, you don’t get to the front line, you need a railway junction, this railway junction is debaltseve, from bakhmut to debaltseve, all of our 42 km, khainos work for 84 km, what is needed to understand is trying with all its might to move our strategic fire-lines

without success. some tactical maneuvers are possible there, but at the moment the dynamics are definitely not in favor of the enemy, but in favor of the ukrainian armed forces. yesterday , the head of the donetsk regional military administration said that bakhmut was destroyed by about 60 percent. well, in fact , the russians are using tactics almost throughout the territory of the ukrainian state. i understand that they are not going to have any cities in the donbass. anisil is meant to be occupied, because since they are destroying the donbass, it is obvious that they did not even destroy it. during the second world war, there is nothing really new there, this is a classic horde tactic, they practiced it in the times of the tatar-mongol games, or let's say during the livonian wars, ivan the terrible honed this

technique, then it is nothing new. when they are russians, they have a unique military mentality. and not only a military mentality, but in general the public cannot inflict damage on the enemy on the battlefield, they resort to the classic tactics of the tactic of destroying, destroying, and destroying again, and considering the fact that the modern political vertical of the russian government is a classic bandit an organization that grew out of 90 criminal years, then we must remember the rule that entrepreneurship can exist somewhere if bandits cannot take it conditionally. the bandits take the faucet away from the entrepreneurs, let's say what they are doing, destroying it, burning it. this is what the russians are doing right now with everything they can get their

hands on, starting from donetsk region, donbas, and ending with our critical infrastructure but the philosophy is that they believe that the more they will destroy, the more they will instill fear, but in fact they are reaching the end of the completely opposite result, our hatred of people and the desire for revenge is only getting stronger, well, as for rape with missile strikes, we see that every week and every month this is the best and we are learning to give them better, we have operational information from a serviceman with the call sign kyivan, this is the 93rd brigade of the cold yary, which is located in bakhmut, let's hear and see 27 on december 22, the morning of bakhmuti, 9:00 a.m. if it goes

. it just passed, well, the tape of the hail passed. the city is mercilessly watered by artillery in the szo, mortars, infantry attacks of the enemy under the cover of artillery, mortars are trying to capture our positions and are constantly there. avalanche is just climbing in masses, it’s just some kind of disposal it goes, otherwise you won't start the meat grinder, so the cossacks, the situation is difficult at the moment, but the place is standing, the city is holding, everything will be ukraine , the situation is not easy for the colonel, and there are ongoing battles in the svatov crime area russian troops are trying to hold back the offensive of the ukrainian army, for the past few days there has already been information about the

success achieved by the armed forces of ukraine, but representatives of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine and bloggers, our military bloggers, said that do not rush to give information in there are still some problems on social networks. because the russian authorities also do not say anything about retreats or offensives near the crime scene, and they talk about the fact that they, too, have apparently achieved some successes. what is happening on to this section of the front and to what extent. these two points, bakhmut and the section of kreminna and svatova, to what extent they determine the overall situation on the entire eastern front, because we have already mentioned the railway junction. which

trucks deliver ammunition and we must remember that the main strategy that we worked out in the kherson region, i would call it a logistical fire zashmorg, that is, knocking out their ammunition sets, knocking out their warehouses burned by lubricants, as well as control points and communication points is the best and most working, so the more fire control there is over all available working roads, both ordinary highways and railway junctions and railway lines, the better it will be for us , because we have ro - to understand that at this moment, unfortunately, the enemy still has a strategic advantage in fire shafts of up to 20,000 shells per day, they do use them, but emphasize at least three times and even four times less than before in the summer, the general projectile dove in the russian federation began and it will inevitably increase, this is strategically good news, but

all these processes will not happen as quickly as we would like for russia is still quite strong, as the great ottophon bismar said, the russians are not as strong as they would like, but are not as weak as their neighbors would like it to be, they remember that a military defeat is the death of putin and the collapse of the russian federation . moscow's hypocrisy will actually come to its death and it is dying to exhale does not prove last week, mr. petre, the ministry of defense of the russian federation announced the increase of the army by another 350,000 people next year, they have such a plan, this year they increased the number of their army by 150,000. the situation on the eastern and southern fronts and whether it is decisive. in the current conditions, when the artillery war is actually going on right now, and

the modern technologies used by the ukrainian army, we cannot cancel the number or napoleon from that time under emphasized at one time that if the enemy has relatively equal forces, then sooner or later the one with more armed battalions will win. of course, the russian federation can field a huge number of personnel , but in fact fully arm them, first of all, as regards the tank fleet and armored combat vehicles, they practically it is no longer possible, here we are today at the beginning of the programs they showed that they lost more than 3,000 tanks, first of all, so let me remind you that at the beginning of this war they what did our 3,400 units have? this is an incredible synominal indicator that has no analogues since the second world war. for almost 10 years in afghanistan, the soviet union, which was much more cloudy then than

modern russia, lost all our 147 tanks. but at the same time, kalashnikov assault rifles for the entire history produced up to 100 million mosin rifles up to 37 million rpg-7 hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers up to 9 million this is an incredible amount, and they will be able to put some ordinary small-arms rifles in their hands and give them a part of the ammunition throw them to the slaughter, this huge russian human intestine is quite large, but still finite, and the only thing they will achieve is that they will postpone their catastrophe, their catastrophe is inevitable, should ukraine react to this and accordingly symmetrically increase its army , in my opinion, the philosophy of our success is in two moments, the first is a healthy weight and sense and patience. and there is also the phenomenon

called tactical skill and high -class weapons, that is, at the moment, it is a struggle of quantity and quality with some exclusively on i would like to remind our side that the conveyor belt has been launched after the bucharest summit. i am 100% sure that the lack of weapons that were particularly technological at the beginning of this war will be compensated by the nearest places. that there will be a point that good armored vehicles , let's say such as the leopard 2 or m1a1, will be chosen as a matter of course. we will receive 100 million dollars for the training of our pilots who allocated by the us congress as early as june, every dollar will be realized and aviation will appear and i have no less confidence in our victory . however, i am not sure that everything will happen quickly. we remember that technical regimes that

fall lose their lives, and therefore putin will fight on death and to the great regret of its population will support it, i don't believe any riots from below since the beginning of the large-scale invasion of russia into ukraine moscow uses belarus not only as a military military base from where they entered e tanks and heavy equipment to the territory of ukraine, and as a large air base we see that continues for the last few months, e-e air , e-e air of the russian federation takes off from the airfields of belarus and today also this leads to numerous air alarms in ukraine, can you explain for why are the russians chasing their planes over belarus? well, they are keeping ukraine under tension. everything is

elementary. they are trying to psychologically exhaust us so that we lose our flightiness for a while. and we also have to remind you that a very interesting plane appeared there. on the basis of the il-78 a50, the so-called long-range radar detection, and when all these could be the 31st, which can carry their most serious missile, the kh-47 m2, rise into the air, then the equipment for calculating our radar field works accordingly, because any missile launches are primarily radio physics, they are trying in this way a first to exhaust us b second to study with potential missile launches that can be carried out from these complexes we know very well that just the other day there was another cotton picking for the second time in engels they appeared serious problems, first of all, with the use of tu-160s, i think they won’t be able to in general, because they really damaged the main

radio station, that is, it is very difficult for the command group to do it. and at the moment, it is gas 101 and kha-55 that are the main working missiles next to sea-based caliber missiles, but the caliber is getting smaller and smaller and smaller and they do not have time to produce such a large number that they would need in the overall result of their the strategic potential is decreasing. but at the same time, the 43 daggers they have cannot be ignored. this is a rather serious weapon against which, unfortunately, there is still no protection. that is, mr. peter, do you agree with the statement of our military and the secretary of the security

and defense council that the russians have 3-4 massive missile strikes of this stockpile of missiles that do not carry carcasses and ships of the black sea fleet if the total number of missiles is calculated in the order of 120-130 missiles, then it is somewhere like that , but once again i have to emphasize the russians they can produce both the first and three 14 -caliber up to 41 calibers per month, which is quite a lot , in my opinion, we are entering the zone of prolongation of large events, that is, conditionally, if october , november, from the middle of december, they took place with a frequency of from one week to three, then in my opinion, all this will be prolonged and prolonged and prolonged starting from three to four and five weeks and so on, but at the same time, despite the fact that their strategic missile potential is so undermined, it

has unfortunately not yet been canceled, that is, to reassure themselves that, as they say, everything is not everything is over, it will be foolish and unwise, they still have some potential, but remembering that, as putin himself said, the rat has already been driven to smoke on the dangerous wolf before the agony of death, they are capable of using absolutely everything. i would not cancel such a threat to st. petersburg these days, sir peter, an informal summit of cis leaders is taking place and lukashenko is already meeting putin again. over the past few weeks, they met today at the museum for a working breakfast, they talked about 2023 as the year in russian and, among other things, about bilateral relations of the russian federation and belarus putin says that some issues should be discussed every day, let's

see how it all happened. it's a good environment to talk, including serious matters, including our bilateral relations, although we are in constant contact, but life every day gives us a reason to discuss some issues. take the necessary decision so that they can effectively solve it you see two uh war criminals murderers met in a museum of russian art to talk about bilateral relations obviously to discuss future plans for ukraine there so cynical now it all looks in your opinion

anyway will it be enough putin has the strength and arguments to persuade belarus to participate more widely in russia's war against ukraine , because belarus is an accomplice in russia's war against ukraine, and starting from february 24, will there be a continuation or will there be troops that led putin to the territory of belarus to move towards the ukrainian border, well, in my opinion, 50x50 such a threat i would not cancel but in order for their military group in the land part to become truly serious, it must be increased to at least 40,000 personnel, let us remind you that such the number of people must be provided with armored personnel carriers, this is at least 825 tanks, they must be placed on which armored

vehicles, this is at least 2,500 vehicles of the appropriate classes, and most importantly, up to 900 units barrel artillery, as well as mandatory air cover, only then this group can be truly dangerous for us, the fifteen thousand personnel who are there now, who do not have enough weapons, primarily in terms of artillery, not to mention aviation there are aircraft wings that could enter our airspace and cover this , everything that goes in will inevitably be a big threat to us at the moment , that is, whether it will happen, well, this is actually guessing on coffee grounds or putin it is pressing, it is pressing and it will be pressing, you actually have to save your face first of all and show it in front of your population look, i am not alone, i have allies who are ready to support me if at this moment the belarusians with the

russians dare to cross our northern line of mannerheim and this is already ukrainian mannerheim's line is very serious, it is mined and fortified, so they will not, it will be an act of suicide, but we remember as the great theron said, the closer the collapse of the empire, the crazier their actions and they are actually capable for absolutely everything will there be a ground attack i give exactly 50 for 50 to be fed, you need to be 100% sure that from our side everything possible has been done there will be non-transfusions will it be painful will it be painful or will it be painful but the course of the war will not change in any way thank you sir peter, thank you for participating in the program. this was petro chernyk, a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine. friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our social networks on youtube and facebook for those who watch us. now live on youtube, please like this video subscribe to our

youtube channel well, friends, you can become sponsors of our youtube channel under this video you can find a button called sponsor and there is a fairly simple procedure to help our youtube channel further in us in touch ihor lapins, a special officer of the armed forces of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation , majora good day, good health, i wish you good health, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, we are glad to see you on the air. well, let's start with engels, which is in the saratov region, because the spokesman of the air force command, yuriy ignat , said that after the explosions on the night of december 26, the russians relocated part of the aviation from the engels airfield in the saratov region, but in fact, it is hardly possible to hit the airfield heavily with cotton and cause heavy losses after all, the russian aviation

in a fairly large number is still on the territory of the russian federation and it is a threat to our armed forces of ukraine and the territory of the ukrainian state according to your p igor, can and does the ukrainian the state to transfer the war from the territory of ukraine to the territory of russia well, at least at the airfield well, first of all, the political will is there, and we see that we are starting to work, of course, we do not officially recognize it, but we do not, well, in order to say it once again, no one is hyping there on those topics, including by the way , in the russian federation, we do not forget that they hate us more than anything in the world, but while such attacks continue, we see the inability of the russian air defense and this very well undermines the

authorities' trust in their army from the side local, including the population well, what we have engels-2 of course it is not yet chornobayivka 13 but nevertheless i hope that it will be repeated because of our capabilities demand and hand over more than 100 strategic bombers to the russian federation, because others are the same, and i strongly believe that after thinking not quite correctly , people said that it is better for strategic bombers and missiles to be in russia than in ukraine, the youth of the independent state, for some reason, the world considered us to be more in danger that we would do something with those bombers, that is why russia really has a very large stockpile of strategic bombers , including those that we transferred outside of the budapest memorandum . they also have missiles in that ha- of a certain modification, are military

targets on the territory of russia legal for our armed forces of ukraine? yes, we are, will we continue this? are military targets on the territory of belarus legal for us? for the ukrainians i think that there is, are we striking today? no, we are not asking the question. why is this again a question of political will, and i think that this issue was also studied at the meeting between zelenskyi and biden, at least it should be discussed because the threat from belarus is nowhere has not disappeared and all the classics of the theory of warfare say that the enemy's troops should be struck at the moment of assembly and not at the moment when they have already deployed, we are waiting, we believe that there will be no attack from belarus well, that is what our pink ponies in the form of room seers that there are not enough shock groups from belarus. well, what can i say? i think that for
