is developing quite dynamically there, there are certain successes of the defense forces in the area of ​​svatovo and kriminna, and it is the flint enemy that will make it their priority in the near future, british intelligence believes so, because it is important to get a line of defense there serhiy shakun, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, territorial defense of luhansk region, contact us sergey, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine. well, we understand that the situation in luhansk and donetsk regions can and should be considered in a complex way, since the actions of the defense forces of ukraine in the area of ​​crimea can affect the situation and around bakhmut and in general in the donetsk direction please tell me what you can tell me about the current state of affairs there, you know , i'm going to swim through the tank on it again, frankly, what's the matter with lugan or are we blocking the road which one connects which one

connects you can say russia and perdonetsk , janansky goes to luhansk, this is the route of project 5-6, etc., these battles are actually very fierce battles, because the muscovite goes to the counteroffensive of our guys every day, because this is our direction, and our guys are fighting back there and are they giving age or are they slowly biting away step by step eh well, we have the advantage of the fields already here the targets are very large already here the targets are a very large number he pulled there eh there is no need for anything so the artillery well a little bit equalized on the fact that again eh this morning there is information that they were dragged there again, it went there again, they dragged more soldiers there again, so in this spirit you mentioned that the enemy is withdrawing

both equipment and manpower at the same time. i don't know whether to believe it or not. start so to speak, to accuse the war criminal gerasimov, the chief of the russian general staff, with bad obscene words, saying that they lack it because it is in the kit and so on. what is the situation with the ammunition, the enemy had information that they destroyed combat depots, ammunition depots and so on . in fact, a large number, a large number of manpower, i will not even name the numbers that are there, because today they have superiority and are throwing very

large forces into the counterattack, and you see so much criminalization has dragged on matchmaking to apply personally we all know that uh, well, not very well , not very easy, you can say but we don’t even imagine how difficult well, but in any case, criminality remains an extremely important direction, so for our promotion, mr. sergey, if it is possible in some details that can be voiced on the live broadcast , what, please, tell me the situation in the direction of kreminna, yes, the situation in the direction of criminal well, what can i say the hell, we give, we give normally well, once again, the enemy has a very large the number of forces and the enemy every day, every

day goes to the counterattack, the enemy goes to the counterattack, next time we are able to slowly bite off pieces by pieces, you can see for yourself on the map in which the city of kremenets is currently surrounded by husks. and the provision of which british intelligence makes public to us gives the impression that it is precisely on the crime scene that they are now throwing even more than they continue to throw on the direction of bakhmut, because, apparently, bakhmut has already regurgitated everything that they could you throw some in there? well, for a few days now, there have been signals that the situation there, well, the degree of its tension there is decreasing somewhat, where it is hotter now, if you can compare like that, well, you know

that bakhmut is a city bakhmut is a city and we have forests we have swamps, it's raining again, and you can see from the bahmut that the enemy is shelling below, they are destroying the infrastructure at home, if you look at this aerial reconnaissance data, the poplars , the russians, with long-range artillery, cancel everything else, where is more, where are they hot, which i think is almost the same. thanks to him they poured it there, drove it away and again there is no time to follow everything, monitor it on the internet , sit because you arrive in the evening, you overslept a couple of times and in the morning again and you are right to show that it is all visible, and the fields

show the ones that are here. the same and that they have to keep flint but what again is the route being fired at from our side is being fired at and we are pushing them with logistics so that nothing will work out in them they will have to wash off because well, what is the nearest again on one side is a match with on the other side, the border line will flee to the border line, the foreigner will then destroy the criminal, well, there is, well, there may be, and there is no other way out for the muscovites, mr. serhiy received information that the enemy had withdrawn his officers from the command post to the flint well, and pulled up, so to speak, the occupation representatives of the civilian authorities of their occupation, of course so that they are gradually pulling back. i don't know if you have such information, but in any case, they probably feel, so to speak, foolishness on

their part, and throw this and that wave behind in waves, and gives something in terms of fighting for the enemy is that they constantly attack and attack manpower regardless of how ready it is. well, of course, the issue of equipment is so difficult to say how large a number of armored vehicles they have concentrated there now, well, the advantage in armor and vehicles is the su ttevo for today and that they have tanchikis coming out and the fact that the living force is so reckless, you know, they were thrown out like cattle and they are dying. volnoy and for them, uh, there is no such question, there they started a human reserve, they throw it in order to show our points, everything, well, the rains were cloudy again, and the work of

aerial reconnaissance hmm is impossible, when there are 7 possibilities, then we pour and pour very well, so far until now exactly, again, the situation is short, the day is short in the morning, the fog and the rain left after dinner, that’s all. you can only say, well, throwing expensive shells at random is very expensive, so from this side too. and so i say the enemy does not spare this human reserve, he simply does not spare thank you mr. serhiy serhiy shakunov and this is an officer of the armed forces of ukraine of the territorial defense of the luhansk oblast, he was working live now, he was on the air from the donetsk direction on the flint, extremely bloody battles are going on, so we go on , oleksandr doroshenko, a deputy of the kharkiv

regional council, a soldier of the national guard, the lyman direction and also the direction of the flint, i thought it was already on the line connection, but obviously we are calling, it means that we need to know about the importance of the general direction of crime and svatov . starobilska in the area of ​​luhansk region well , they also give us the opportunity to break up i understand the group that is trying to attack our defense forces in the direction of bakhmut. this is exactly what serhii gaidai, the head of the luhansk regional military administration, observes, er, such variants of the development of events, well, the enemy's rear and enemy logistics. this is what is now very important in this direction, er, with

we are in touch with oleksandr doroshenko, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council, howl of the national guard, and congratulations to oleksandr glory to ukraine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes, mr. oleksandr, we would like to ask you that now in your lyman direction it seems to be the kharkiv region, but we understand that the group is trying to strengthen itself there , so to speak yes, the situation here is completely different, much more difficult than it was in the kharkiv direction, where we were standing near the balaclava, because of the conditions here, we are now in the forest area er, the enemy has quite well everything is mined , the frantic line of defense, that is, they are in advance, if they are going to withdraw, they will already be behind the line, where will the defense er, for er, it is

prepared, that is why it is more difficult here, they constantly use those artillery to use tanks that work for us well , let’s not so, there is a lot left for the flint variant of the development of events severodonetsk-lysichansk well, the first thing that comes to mind is that if we look at the road that just connects svatovo-criminal goes to the novodruzhesk border and this is the production of lysychansk. well, i think that even we, well, we have to watch, eh. i think that the orcs will stand and not let us enter rubizhne. i think that, even so, it is possible that our ukrainians will be criminalized, but there, i think

that the enemy will protect and provide we have a front line so that we are from those positions. if we take the front line, then there we will have experience , our artillery will work well on the north donets side of lysichanska. unfortunately, i don't know what the terrain is like, eh, as for the height , everything else will also depend on it where will be the enemy e-e русский to hold the defense p oleksandr, we would like to ask you about the effectiveness of the current russian tactics on the one hand they are trying to attack in such smaller groups of up to 30 people on the other hand there is nothing special new they cannot, so to speak, strategically offer, there is a feeling that in they are running out of ammunition on some parts of the front, in particular, we are talking about artillery, we cannot verify this well, but this is reported by foreign sources,

so we turn to the original source, mr. oleksandr, i can say the only thing that they will surely run out of them is good russian , and they have a new replenishment every day, every day, new people, artillery. it works all the time, except for artillery, but hryvnias work in small groups, they can work as an aggressor, or there, eh, with nice ears, eh. e work in access roads er, well, there are not many roads, er, that

lead to the forest, they know the road somewhere , and the air works on them, er, there is an opinion that this particular factor does not give them anywhere , in principle, to turn the situation in their favor . they can't afford to lose either pilots or ships that can fly, so they are very careful in terms of using aviation in particular. well, i really don't use it, but their air reconnaissance works quite well, i can say, well, our intelligence told us when they take off russians include their bird birds as far as i understand, the guys are tracking where it was coming from. and almost immediately above the intelligence is flying in, that is, in this

component in the kharkiv region, it was easier, easier. it is possible to use such means technically. there were no orks in the kharkiv direction somewhere . it is precisely in the lyman direction that it is used, it feels like a prisoner, they surrender, and what is the situation in them, for example, with the same detachments behind grad, or detachments in the same direction. i have not met them . situations that there er when it's stupid, i can't name it in any other way, they were going to attack a-a well, they crawled in our black soil and the next day, several dozen people appear there, something that simply concerns no, it didn't seem like but there were

curious cases when a person uh-uh one person didn't go there and ended up in our positions , that's why there were such incidents. please tell me another moment of belogorivka and siverskyi donets, how are the crossings ? in general, the enemy has our belogorivka in this area. but yes, there are some moments with their crossings not also many really because it an important artery well, we are monitoring if they will er, well, we are monitoring, i mean, our unit, er, can interact with interact with other armed forces there, on which there is just artillery that can work well, our battalion has mortars , which of which there are 80 -th 120th, which will not be able to cause any damage to the rights there, but

we can do it just from the artillery, we can give the coordinates . minute let's go further, we will inform you about the most important things, the french minister of defense sebastian le cornet has arrived in kyiv for a visit, he is meeting with our minister of defense oleksiy reznikova, of course they are discussing the issue of military support. there, on behalf of france, he honored their memory and expressed support for ukraine, after that lek kornyuk plans to meet with the team of the ministry of defense and our military to discuss the issue of military support to ukraine from the french side, they will discuss the assistance

that has already been provided and that which is only planned to be provided for the day. a meeting with our minister of defense is also planned for the day. after that, there will be a press briefing, a high-quality military analyst, a military expert, editor of the defense express publication valery ryabyk now we are in touch with you valeria congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes i congratulate you gentlemen presenter dear tv viewers luhansk region, according to analysts of the institute of war studies, the defense force achieved more success in the northern in the east of ukraine than previously thought, they probably already released the two-year-old novomlynsk and wilzhanka in the north-east of kharkiv oblast, as well as kolomyich in luhansk oblast. locations , please well, here we can trust

the experts of the institute of war studies, but at the same time remember that the information has not yet been confirmed by the general staff of ukraine, but in fact the experts of the institute the study of the war, always presenting their analysis, is guided by those messages that are given both in the ukrainian media and in various social networks, including those from the opposite side, and in fact, it is noticeable to those observers that the dynamics of hostilities in this direction are slowing down at the moment and on the other hand, it is also noted that the armed forces of ukraine could carry out regrouping there, and accordingly, experts in the study of war

refer specifically to the so-called media bloggers from the side of the occupiers oleg however, not trusting them, they nevertheless state that uh, let's say this, the mood of the occupiers is also in this direction and in the main directions of focusing efforts on the liberation of the so-called their effort to fulfill the task set by the uh, top leadership of the terrorist state a-a for the occupation parts of the donetsk region are currently unable to carry out the pace of progress is slowing down and, moreover , the pace of action is slowing down. well, in addition, experts note that these reports, which are currently not confirmed by our

according to official sources, however, they may still take place and this indicates the possibility of further advancement of ukrainian troops in the main directions and with further , let's say, the liberation of the territory that concerns the kharkiv region, for example , experts have already stated that in recent days e-e area liberated from the territory of the kharkiv region from the occupiers could increase by 46 m² kilometers, and this, in principle, is already quite a big achievement, and there they state that only 1.6 of the oblast's territories remain to be liberated from of the russian invaders, well, on the other hand, we just talked to our soldiers who are participating in extremely tough battles in

donetsk region and luhansk region, and we understand that in spite of all this, the enemy now has enough weapons, although american analysts assure us that the enemy has huge problems with it well, artillery, enemy tanks are working quite actively, on the other hand, we understand that equipment is not the only question of the morale of the troops, perhaps there is some additional information that testified about their mood, so the other day, we saw the video we do not know how representative it is, but it is about a so-called minimal rebellion of the citizens of wagner against the chief of their general staff, the criminal gerasimov, what can this mean and, accordingly, why is there no miracle, so to speak, that is, it is about a mass surrender to the enemy, well, watch this very revealing video which e-e dispersed through the network

and in fact the case reflects a certain state of desperation of the occupiers and in particular it is connected precisely with e-e bad provision of e-e whiskey that act on e-e in this direction precisely in matters of artillery supply with ammunition, but it must be said that at a certain stage, let's say, they tried to deny that this video was recorded in andrivtsi, as if it was some kind of propaganda video, but we see that no objection was received from the wagner company itself. and this can testifies to many things, and besides the fact that the enemy really lacks ammunition, there is also a certain disagreement between the military representatives of the ministry of defense

of the occupying country and the so-called wagner company, and this confrontation may intensify in the future this is, of course, an evidence of the fact that the situation for the occupiers in that direction is currently deteriorating, despite the fact that the enemy is still trying to maintain some offensive potential, but here are the same analysts of the institute for the study of war they are talking about certain signs of a drop in potential, uh, what does it mean, mr. valery , a drop in potential? they still go on the offensive, that is, they are pushed into the back, the technique works. what do you think this means a drop in potential, and what could be the consequences, well look, the analysts of the institute for the study of war

say that the situation that they previously observed in the kherson direction , in particular, in the summer, the enemy tried to act as part of battalion tactical groups, then companies of tactical groups, then separate groups and gradually the potential of their action there weakened and finally led to the fact that the enemy was forced to move away from this direction to a more advantageous position for himself at the moment analysts of the institute for the study of war extrapolate the situation that they are now observing in the district bakhmut and in the region of the northern part of luhansk region that the enemy is currently starting to act in small groups without the support of

armored vehicles and this is already evidence of the exhaustion of his combat units and let's say this may be a sign of that soon the enemy may run to some extent, which he then justifies as a forced regrouping or some other term that will not so cut the eyes and ears of the russian audience, these are conventionally divided into two groups, the guest and the gerasimovites, so with on the other hand, syrovyken and a handsome man, in fact, a handsome one, mercilessly criticizes gerasimov for what he thinks, on the other hand, he does not criticize syrovyky, who successfully left

kherson, as they probably think, and whose situation as a manager is quite uncertain now of a special military operation. well, for example , in the luhansk direction in the future and in the donetsk region, is there an option for a wedge between the brought syrovytins, or can we use this to our advantage, well, there are certain signs of an increase in this groups, in addition to that. recently, there was information that a new commander was appointed by the western district of the occupiers, and who is appointed to lead the group of the so-called western since the time of the chechen war, he has been very closely connected with wagner's group and acted in cooperation, and this may also indicate, let's say, a desire to strengthen

this criminal group, which we see, for us, any discord in the state of the enemy. there is, let's say, on hand for that that in general, strategically, this will of course have an effect in our favor, because any conflict between the eyes of the so-called groups will lead to incorrect and sometimes harmful decisions, and of course this will contribute to the solution of our main task this is the liberation of the temporarily occupied territories. and er, er, er, well, the choice of the desired victory is essentially the matter. here it should be stated that for us, let's say this, it is very important because we must also take into account for ourselves that the

situation in the essence of the matter is such that at the moment ukrainian society is complete trust between the top military leadership, between the soldiers at the front, as well as between the people, we need, as always, the further preservation of our trust in our army, our soldiers, and in the army command, which, after all , gave us every reason to trust and hope for wisdom and that everything will be done in order to achieve victory with minimal losses for ukraine thank you valery for this extremely high-quality and interesting analysis valery ryabikh military expert editor of the defense publication express worked now live on the espresso tv channel in one minute at 3:15 p.m. yes, we may still have time to inform you today that the minister of defense of france, sébastien le cornet, arrived in kyiv to discuss with his colleague, our
