and this suggests that after the attack, when in the morning three missile carriers were withdrawn gradually and 20 missiles were declared, which were then fixed in pieces in the work, uh, they added one more missile seed, and these three, which were already used and will most likely return to the points basing for redeployment therefore, we are now fixing one missile carrier, and this indicates that eight missiles are ready for admission and it is quite likely that a second attack will occur . the launch vehicle that they launched into the sea is correct. well, considering that they can be from the ports, this will not happen, since

they still fear for their bases, which are temporarily occupied crimea and are still safe for them to launch a launch vehicle and connect to it and when it is on duty at sea, and do the occupiers now use submarines as missile carriers , yes, one submarine missile carrier also worked today - it is a diesel submarine that went on duty a little later, that is at the beginning of the attack, there were two surface -launched missile launchers on duty, and then they added another submarine, they also added a submarine, mrs. natalya, i thank you for joining in and informing us about the situation in the south of ukraine. by the way, if i am not mistaken today you have a professional holiday. it seems that today is the day of the information and media structures of the ministry of

defense and the armed forces of ukraine. we are, by chance, the team. we congratulate you and thank you for this dedication to the profession for what you do, you inform the society, in fact, at any time. days because we are with you at 6:00 a.m. we are with you at 11:00 p.m. eh. and thank you once again natalya, the head of the joint press center of security and defense, the south was founded on communication and so we ourselves congratulate our next guest, who is joining us, on this professional holiday. this is serhiy cherevaty, the spokesman for the eastern group of forces. sergey, i also congratulate you on your professional holiday. thank you for your work. thank you to your units for keeping our peace and where possible we are proud of you and the information war, as practice has already shown, is another important component on the front, which we have now, in fact, throughout

ukraine. so, mr. serhiy, let's get down to business. and i would like to ask you about the consequences in your area of ​​responsibility, did your a-a affect your area of ​​responsibility the massive rocket fire that russia carried out today, well, no, we mostly have races, uh, there were military actions like this with the standards there, this is artillery shelling, rocket attacks, which in which the enemy is given what days, in particular, only in bakhmut on let's say to the bahamian section of the front, he fired 223 shots, 28 skirmishes, losses of 144 people killed and about 200 wounded, and the enemy used all types of tank artillery and in an effort to break through our defenses, thanks to the efforts

of our armed forces, and the courage due to the heroism of the personnel, he did not manage to do all this. and by the way, the day before, it seems that in one of the switched on, you talked about the fact that, in addition to these wagnerites, they are also throwing themselves in the bakhmut direction, and there appeared, hmm, such private military companies called patriot and which compete with the wagnerites , these patriots associate them with the so-called minister of defense of russia with sergei shoigu er, here are these so-called patriots. well, we just started observing them for the third time. it literally took a day for us to see them. let's give it a little more. when in the direction of volodyar there is a

steppe settlement that they have already appeared. units, we will monitor them and they are, in principle, more connected with the ministry of defense, e-e, the main directorate of intelligence, in particular, takes care of them, and in general, such is theirs, if the chief e-e chicken- well, yes , the founder can be said to be the father of the founder, this is just the minister of defense, what is his understanding that they are not yet as battle-worn as the wagnerites and probably that there are still more professional personnel there, but it still takes a little time to see how many they arrived there with what tasks. well, maybe i have already managed to see what kind of weapons they use or what kind of equipment they have, as a rule, theo, at the same time, the armament of the russian army is simply eh, well, they

are primarily provided with the newest , most high-quality and, in principle, the newest , that is, they are all sichov or vc when they were created, as a rule, they were created from highly professional e-e military and they or other power structures and equipment. well, they were provided with the best that is available in yakiv is in the russian federation . maybe there, if there are small arms, there are certain rifles of the vintarez type or others, well , that is, some new products, there are not so many of them, but after all, which were in the er as part of the defense industry of the russian federation, and i want to talk about another direction, that is, about luhansk oblast to talk to you criminal, what is going on and because today, if i am not mistaken, in the general headquarters they said that our troops have advanced and

about 2.5 km. yes, it is already gathering there, for some time, such an onslaught of our troops has been going on, eh, just eh, a group which acts on that direction, it acts taking into account the strength of the means that we possess, e-e, it acts in view of the weather conditions, it acts in view of the fact and how seriously the enemy has prepared there, and all this with the aim of liberating our land, but at the same time not incurring crazy losses like this the enemy is doing frontal attacks, that is, we have a completely different tactic there, er, highly professional er commanders are operating there, and they are already trying to apply new tactics there in small groups, there are certain asymmetric actions that catch the enemy by surprise and this work is gradually progressing. it’s clear that maybe somewhere in society there is an

expectation that it is faster, but here it is much more important that all this in the direction of the yard and they are constantly kept in such a state, you know . some direct counter-attack attack e-e methods do not work there , the missile troops, artillery, in particular, constantly acts on them with the height of our defeat system, what day and night, especially, the invaders are afraid when heimers, melares, other systems of our high-precision e with a good marking and reconnaissance of targets almost every time they hit either the command post or the field ammunition depot or the fuel and lubricant field depot, that is, breaking the command structure and the logistical structure of the enemy as much as possible and therefore the enemy's defense was simply that he had

more time to strengthen himself there, plus it coincided so that it was precisely with the period, er, the winter period, when it became more difficult to er the kharkiv limanska apparatus is when they conducted a lightning strike. but it is clear that this was also the strain of the considerable efforts of our troops, and do you see the withdrawal of certain or regrouping of the enemy's troops in this direction, because we saw reports earlier that, well, some have already crossed there they are destroyed in flint and there is only one of them left, and this worries the enemy very much. yes, they are expecting that our counterattack might be. troops with everything possible by mining the equipment

of engineering e-e fortifications and detonating e-e crossings e-e they also have a regrouping of permanent whiskeys, primarily this is due to the fact that on this part of the front they have a powerful e-e the dynamics of losses in particular and not during this day in them 91 people were killed and more than 170 were wounded. that is why it is also such an active er, well, active area. where it goes because there is a clash and they sometimes tried to counterattack there in such directions as stelmakivka square and others settlements however, unsuccessfully and also experiencing losses, they simply left and regrouping in them is happening because there are constant losses , respectively, the units would rotate them , replace them already in the units where they have already passed where they have been mobilized and such are constantly happening this the movement, but

actually, did the terrorists who attacked bahmut miscalculate and forgetting about the crime, we will now continue to analyze this topic in more detail, and for now, thank you mr. serhiy serhiy the pot-bellied spokesman of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine a-and we add oleksandr musienka is the head of the center for military and legal research, oleksandr. good evening to you. here is the situation near bakhmut and crimea. do you see a tactical miscalculation by the enemy? well, you have to understand that the strategic enemy was counting on the fact that after the de-occupation of kherson oblast by ukrainian troops, the right bank part would be successful . the ukrainian defense forces can continue the counteroffensive and go south further to liberate er melitopol and other settlements, they were very afraid of this because it would actually mean a direct defeat in the war now

they began intensifying hostilities near bakhmut, which lasted there for several months, but after the deoccupation of kherson oblast , the intensity increased accordingly, the idea was to withdraw our forces ' main assets right there to bakhmut and not allow the counteroffensive to continue in the south, and in principle, we see that they were drawn into the battle the ukrainian group did not engage as the enemy would have liked, because the enemy's calculation was that we engaged there and were defeated, while the enemy moved on and, accordingly, there was a pause for building up their forces and then to continue the offensive, but the ukrainian troops were able to continue counteroffensive actions in the area of ​​kreminnaya, which is quite important because the enemy was stopping the counteroffensive there

as well. step by step, but it is going and we can see that russia is forced to transfer additional forces precisely in the direction of the flint over t they are transferring additional arrows through berdyansk to melitopol, in particular , heavy weapons, this means, well, bakhmut is also being reinforced, but to a lesser extent than it was before . the fact that the ukrainian forces will be defeated under the bombardment and will not be able to carry out counteroffensive actions, and russia will feel free to stretch its troops further along the front line, it did not work and that is why now of course, despite the fact that active hostilities continue ordinary, but still managed to stabilize the situation there, it is not as

threatening as it was last week, plus the direction of crime was added, a headache now for the enemy troops and, in principle, a direction that is promising for the ukrainian troops, but it turns out that well, you said what about what we fear in the bakhmut direction, they will continue, but from a logical point of view. well, i understand that you want to say that they are approaching their climax somewhere. i understand correctly, yes, they are approaching, and i can even explain why. i agree with this case, and with the institute for the study of war, they write quite a lot of correct and useful analysis, but what they said about the fact that the russian grouping of troops was already exhausted under the bombardment is not quite the case. so the situation has stabilized, but the hostilities are still ongoing, but what is happening is very interesting things, in fact, you have already briefly touched on them, i heard a previous conversation about the private military

companies that are involved there, so what should i say under bachmut eh, recently videos of wagnerites fighting there began to appear who, with criticism, again to the military command, demand more artillery, more reinforcements from the russian command of the battle, it is not enough, in principle, one can risk assuming that bakhmut can generally remain in this direction now, which will be given for ransom to prigozhin and the wagnerites in order to have a competitor, which does he have or his opponents there? competing private military companies, they are starting to compete with each other, this is positive for us on the one hand because the enemy camp is being attacked, on the other hand we need to be

careful because these troops that were planned to be deployed somewhere under bakhmut, they can be deployed in the luhansk direction or in the south and from there create certain troubles for us. this is the situation, but in general, let them quarrel more among themselves. for us, in principle, it is quite good. well, in general, if from a political point of view, yes, i i asked you to analyze this attack by prigozhina on gerasimov. well, this is already such a serious request for me. and how do you interpret it? well, you see, again, it is global. if you consider this politically, you must understand that quite often russian tsars in general in russian history , they were wary of arming various paramilitary groups, mercenaries and so on, because it always

ended badly, putin went the other way. with airplanes, what the wagnerites have, plus he, er, raised around him people like kadyrov , people like prigozhin, and others, and they are now starting against the background of some tactical successes there, after they succeeded in occupying lysychansk , destroying it, and began to declare themselves globally. i think it is in any - in any case, in the future, it will lead to a confrontation between regular forces between the military command and these people who, keeping prisoners of various other elements near them, are trying to tell that they are the winners there and they are not fighting well. well, so be it we are sorting it out among ourselves and let's go back to the flintlock, if the crumbling is taken, what does it mean for us from a tactical point of view, it is actually quite important because, first of all, it cuts through one of the highways that goes

straight through the north of luhansk region from russia further further south, secondly, it gives the opportunity to advance further south and destroy this flank, which is in the area of ​​lysychanska sel, in the area of ​​rubizhne and severodonetsk, and accordingly, taking this bridgehead, this is actually an outlet for the group that is attacking under fire russian, that is, i called this current struggle that is going on around the flint, these hostilities, a struggle and a war for an important flank, a flank that, in principle, can be determined by by the way, the development of events in general in the east and the development of the war is not there because, in principle, the importance of this well, our enemy understands the flank, and it is also clear to us that, in principle, if we advance further south and go to this group, which will connect with the group that are ukrainian in the area

of ​​belogorivka, then this, in principle, opens up the prospects of seriously fighting in terms of logistics to support the enemy's positions there, which were used for the attack precisely on bakhmut and the next direction, and in principle to help our grouping of troops there, and to prevent the enemy from concentrating and concentrating for future active hostilities there in the spring and for another period, and from the line of defense the enemy what can happen then, well, it will crack, you already understand, it has already partially cracked because well, if the ukrainian forces continue to advance, it is obvious that the pyramids, or the so-called dragon's teeth, they cannot fully restrain well, in principle, as predicted, the line of defense is being moved one way or another. well , it must be said that the enemy's troops made efforts to stop our actions, they really put defensive positions there on them, it

does not help today, and the plus task is also eh which you still need to understand, they are very afraid that they will have to stretch their own strength and they are afraid of it, but they are forced to do it now and are forced to choose directions, realizing that in addition to this, there is also a task ahead of them the crimea region should be advanced, it is necessary to advance under the bahmut, it is necessary to defend in the area of ​​melitopol, and their plan, as we talked about from the beginning, is that all ukrainian forces will be hidden in the bahmut area and everything and the other front line will not move, the forecasts did not come true, the maps are somewhat confused now and now here it is this line, despite the fact that they are there again, they are carrying their pyramids, setting up propaganda plots that no one will pass, well, they are passing, the ukrainian army is passing, albeit not so quickly with battles, but it is passing. well, i will add that actually these

the pyramids you mention, the so-called dragon's teeth, and which are placed as blocking positions against armored vehicles already in russia, but they are sold en masse on avito, so this is an analogue of ukrainian online trading platforms, well, now we know what's up with these pyramids and why they won't save the russians oleksandr, thank you very much for this analysis. oleksandr musienko, the head of the center for military and legal studies, was in touch with us for a short pause. after that, we will talk about the front, the religious front, wait for the broadcast of the information marathon, the only news on tv channels and radio stations of public broadcasting on the link chernihiv kharkiv kherson all of ukraine we are getting closer we are getting closer victory we are getting closer to the front line of the kutilya on the

volunteer front in the international arena i wish i wish i wish i wish i wish i wish i wish i wish i wish i would like to win i wish i wish i wish i would like victory i wish i would like victory i wish i would like victory i wish i would like victory i wish victory we wish victory first public broadcasting channel ukrainian radio they work in the dark giving us light even during rocket attacks shelling, despite the weather and danger day and night, they do everything possible to keep us warm, communication, even with interruptions, this is

prometheus who bring us life, people who have already become heroes, although you will not see them in the news, warriors who will dispel any darkness of ours true knights of light, thanks to you, we will survive the winter, energy supplies are a must, thank you for the holiday, one wish, victory , today is our third date, i saw in your eyes the one with whom i would like to live my life, i wanted to ask if you would become mine forever, but commander nazar called, i need it urgently it's hard to fall in love when tomorrow it's hard to go to the front , but it's worth it this

week the constitutional court recognized as constitutional the changes to the law on freedom of conscience and religious organizations, now churches must indicate in their name affiliation to the aggressor country, in this case the spokesman of the ukrainian orthodox church, well, until recently associated with the moscow patriarchate, archbishop kliment hastened to declare that this law has nothing to do with them, saying that the kyiv metropolitanate is the legally governing center of the uoc is located in kyiv, and there is one more piece of news from january 1, the uoc will not be able to hold services in two churches on the territory of the kyiv-pechersk lavra, this is the dormition cathedral and the refectory. the reason for

the expiration of the lease between the state and the uoc is in parentheses. we are talking about all this with the head of the religious information service taras santoshevsky of ukraine joins us ah, mr. taras, good evening to you, but let's actually start with the statement eh so now i will remind you for a second of the archbishop kliment so that he declared that this law has nothing to do with there is no church. how would you comment on this remark? well, you understand, he can say what he needs now, so they convince everyone with their hands that they have nothing to do with the moscow patriarchate, and they say that it was their meeting in may that did not correspond to their own the canon, that is, in order to convene a council and make some decision, there must be corresponding preparatory

processes for that council, they did not take place, and they are sure to convince everyone that we do not, that is, that they are not the moscow patriarchate, but which they did not want to highlight on their page, but which are already on our website and highlighted on others. so there is where it starts with the fact that their status is based on the certificate issued to them by patriarch alexy in 1990 and there is not a word about no autocephaly or about anything else and in the orthodox world, a church can be either autonomous or some other part of another church or autocephalous, i.e. completely independent, for example, there is the orthodox church of ukraine, the moscow patriarchate in ukraine does not have such a status, respectively, they are part of the moscow patriarchate, and today the situation has changed politically and they say that and on the website of the moscow patriarchate actually, they are generally dioceses in ukraine in general simply listed in alphabetical order, as well as the parties of the russian orthodox

church, and putin himself said and used it many times in his time the name of the russian orthodox church in ukraine that's right and tell me, this statute that you mentioned is based on the document that they were created, conditionally speaking, and it can be a guaranteed 100% proof of what proves that this church belongs to the russian church, so he actually begins by mentioning that it was created on the basis of the document of patriarch alexy in 90, and in that document it is clearly stated that they are a part of the self-governing part of the russian of the orthodox church, but all their even changes in their statutes must be agreed with the russian orthodox church, there are actually other canonical points besides this statute, which is written for the state.

in the world, at least someone recognized them as an independent church. that is, they say that they proclaimed some kind of independence, independence, who himself in 1992, when the kyiv patriarchate was created, they also proclaimed independence, but there it was stated that i am an autocephalous church in the uoc statute, nothing neither autonomous status nor autocephalous status is mentioned. and if there is no status, then they are the part that is , according to this charter, the patriarch’s lecture of the 90th year, that is, the most skillful part, but of the russian orthodox churches, and it is through the russian orthodox church that they are connected with other orthodox churches of the world. the most interesting, the most recent, is literally today's information. also, what happened at the synod in moscow and e. there is a separate item, a separate magazine dedicated to the uoc itself, but in another magazine it is said that the priest of this church, that is, the uoc which they say no mp

becomes a member of the commission of the russian orthodox church, just as the hierarchy of the ukrainian orthodox church is and is a member of this synod, well , how can you not be and not belong to of some church, but to join its structures, ah, what do you think the deputies should be like, yes , recently, the committee of the verkhovna rada, they considered, hmm, the draft law on banning the activities of the russian orthodox church and related religious organizations in ukraine in your opinion, what should it be, what key points do you see, the constitutional court finally said that everything is fine with this law, which was adopted 4 years ago, now actually does not exist in ukraine, officially the russian orthodox church, it exists only in accordance with this law, but not a single legal organization, and the church is not a single organization, it consists of more than ten thousand legal entities that are

interconnected, but for the state it is more than ten thousand legal entities and none of them appears. if i do not i'm wrong, there is no name russian orthodox church, that is, to begin with, this law must finally come into effect, in fact, for all these years, there were no obstacles to its implementation, but the current minister of culture has repeatedly emphasized that this the law can divide society, the previous head of the state service for ethnopolitics and freedom of conscience also repeated this phrase , which is very beneficial in the moscow patriarchate, on the other hand, this law should have been implemented a long time ago and, accordingly, someone should be held responsible for the fact that it is not implemented and there is a separate decision there -e infamous kyiv district court regarding 266 organizations, e-e, these monasteries and diocesan administrations, what about them, the norm of this law has been stopped but i think that it is also a matter of time
