two skills up to the level that they once had when they served in the russian army, and who else in the soviet army. well, at least a few days' worth of units and units, that is, i suspect that somewhere in the middle of february, the end of february, the russians will be able to to put another 150,000 under the gun and actually speaking, during this period, they will be able to form some kind of army offensive group on the territory of that belarus, compared to what was, well, almost a year ago, it will be as isolated or will differ. in order to compare different characteristics, the difference is the lack of modern combat equipment, which the russians had on february 24

. the 5th guards tatin separate tank brigade, which during the period of fighting on the territory of ukraine for 10 months, suffered combat losses of about 1,000 killed and about 1,200 people wounded, and the number of the division in the brigade in the states during the war and 2.5 thousand men, that is, of those who were in the ranks on february 24 of last year, there are literally 30,400 men left in the ranks , that is, all the rest who either came to speak or were mobilized or they

signed the contract under the influence of those hmm ambassador very large hmm lifting and high salaries ot but those tanks that were in this brigade on february 24 are no longer there that is, there are no half t-72 b3 and instead of them, they are now starting to recruit t-72r tanks and even now the t-62m tanks will probably go. that is why it is necessary to understand that the situation is similar in the so -called e-e elite taman and divisions. now they are in the anti-peace division, that is, they are already fighting now, if not the second, then probably in some units and subdivisions already the third composition of these parts and divisions, that is, this third grade can be said. they are the ones at work. well, again, it

is very interesting when you watch the interviews given by prisoners of war, it is especially interesting what the tankmen say. some say that some of the tanks drive but do not shoot. tanks that have undergone restoration after the storage bases, but the other tanks - these are those that shoot but do not drive and those that, uh, were in the formation, but their resource has already started in the evening to such an extent that they are still able to shoot, but it is very difficult to carry out any marches on them. as a matter of fact, the command is quite often faced with a choice, but what to use, etc., and how to form units, some strike groups, assault-ready tactical groups, rather than battalion tactical groups, it

is no longer a question of their formation, there is not enough equipment, that's why it is difficult to divide into varieties the first and the second third, but actually, to fulfill the assigned combat tasks , if the task is to advance to a depth of 5 km, such equipment is no longer enough. mykola, again, what was heard at the new year's tables. will the people be festive, will there be a repeat attack on kyiv or a possible attack from belarus, will the russians try to cut off the west of the country in order to make it impossible to supply military equipment , weapons and all kinds of other help that is needed on our front lines, i will tell you this with

from the point of view of the military, and from the point of view of common sense, from the point of view of the military, even on the third of february, although well, i already personally understood that it was about to begin, but everything was exactly the same, i understood that it would be an adventure that would end with heavy losses for russia, and the collapse of all their dreams and hopes on february 24, i woke up from explosives at the vasylkiv airfield. oh, and now i understand exactly the same way that even if the russians can, together with the belarusians, create formations on the territory of belarus with the number of 5 to 80,000 people and they will disappear again. in any direction, whether to kyiv, or to riva, or to lutsk, by setting up tasks like somehow,

this is another adventure, which will end if the same destruction of this offensive group, but what decisions will be made by the political leadership of the russian federation and the military leadership, no one can say this maybe because it is very difficult to understand which cockroaches influence what in the collective putin’s mind, well , that is, they are capable of irrational adventurous acts, they have demonstrated a tendency to them, in principle, they demonstrated there for 9 or so months therefore, it is impossible to guarantee that they will not do something similar again, it is quite suicidal, i did not risk giving guarantees , mr. mykola, well, but going back to the very beginning of the invasion, what you say is that from the very beginning it was a very risky adventure, but at some point it seems that they were close to success and we, i remember very well how we rejoiced in this studio once we shot down their first plane with paratroopers over the

vlastoms and then shot down the second - this put a definite end to the attempt to enter kyiv that same night i will remind you of the night on february 26, 27, 2014, when seven helicopters of the russian federation and several airplanes of the russian federation illegally crossed the airspace of ukraine and went to land at one of the airfields, just like that. of fire, or the chief of the general staff, who was the supreme commander in his position, and two officials could give such a command, uh, they took responsibility for you and gave the command to shoot down, so the

story probably developed in a completely different way but in 2022, no one had any doubts, the war had been going on since 2014 and they were shooting down as soon as the slightest opportunity appeared, including the civilian population took up arms and began to destroy the opposition of another state, i wonder what we saw in general our allies still adhere to the principle of escalation management, as formulated there by mr. lloyd, the head of the united states ministry of defense, and we saw that also zelensky's visit, well, he did not return to pump him with attacks and attacks , and other weapons that would have now to become a new game changer, as we say , that is, to change the rules of the game again and give a new strategic advantage to ukraine on the

battlefield, or is this a strategy of cautiously supporting ukraine so that it is not supported in order not to give it the opportunity to dominate on the field, it will be in 2023, how will it be it is very difficult to influence the development of the situation without being inside the american leadership and not understanding what it is governed by, and geopolitics is so complex that it can be evaluated from the point of view of an average ukrainian is happening and why exactly are they acting like this , after all, it is clear that the americans are building a strategy for the collapse of the russian federation without the use of nuclear weapons, and it is desirable that this

happens even with the direct participation of an american soldier why because american society after america had to leave from an afghan, it will be very unpleasant if american citizens continue to die on the territory of the ukrainian federation , and then probably also on the territory of the russian federation federation, that is why the leadership of the united states of america chose. actually, the tactics that it chose, and their strategy is the same, er, this is er, this is such a balancing act, on the brink of the survival of all mankind, the threat of the use of nuclear

weapons. that's why. because tactically, nuclear weapons are understandable in the russian federation practically , it is no longer suitable for use, but with regard to strategic nuclear weapons, there are big questions here, and although there are explanations, what putin will not risk using, if putin will make a decision about predicting, no one can predict it can't be 100% true, that's why the americans are going the way they are going in that regard, they give urine to the attacks, they don't give the attacks, but i wouldn't be so categorical why because some photos and some objects that were successfully attacked by the armed forces of ukraine are not and

the results of those er, the use of weapons still shows that not everything is as simple as we hear from politicians. thank you, mr. mykola mykola solomakha, a military expert was with us and we talked about what awaits us in 2023 , lieutenant colonel, also retired, er, mykola demo further further we should have it a conversation about how ukrainians have adapted over this year, how their psyche has adapted to everything that is happening in the country, why now even people, despite the fact that there are some shellings, are not so afraid of those shellings, is it good or bad, and andriy koziychuk, a military psychologist, should be with us. tell me if mr. andrii is still there, for

sure, uh, we have agreed, uh, he is definitely not there , andrii. i understand that probably even the holidays are the time when, on the one hand, we want to, those holidays will be when we are asked with people from other countries like you celebrate in such conditions, but this is exactly what we really want, because it is something that brings us to normality, and on the other hand, the time of holidays is exactly the time when you when it falls, when the war falls or whether the holidays fall on time war when you realize that these holidays are not like in peacetime when you realize that not everyone will be able to gather at the uh family table for a holiday what what will not be the way it used to be and in fact, here it is precisely here that we need to find a new way to celebrate uh- to find oneself in

those holidays, to find joy but to leave it it is probably a place for sadness not to displace these emotions from oneself, and in fact, it is probably most difficult for those families to which their relatives will not return , not because they left to escape from the war , because they died as a result of this war or died in this war they will return, but they will return as we say on the shield. that is, that is what those soldiers are called. we are getting rid of this soviet legacy that we have left about how the dead were marked during the afghan war, they were marked as gruz 200, and now we call those of our fallen heroes soldiers who return on the shield, that's actually what iryna kovalenko calls them. she is a soldier of the airborne assault troops of the armed forces of ukraine and her job at the front is to identify

the dead. actually, let's listen to her story. our khrystyna parubiy talked to her. my grandmother had military letters . i found her alive and i heard a lot from her. i loved history at school because my grandfather was a very correct uncle. all the reasons prompted iryna kovalenko with the call sign witch to join the army. she is a soldier of the 46th separate of the air mobile brigade of the airborne assault troops of the armed forces of ukraine witch unprofessional military until 2014 worked as an administrator in a restaurant and when the war began, she joined the lava regiment of azov for the first time at the front, she was in a wide in donetsk region compared to the current full-scale it was very easy on the example compared to the directions of the type dapu and debali ilovaisk well, it's generally well, the direction was much easier there, it was a

little easier, it was easier there, it wasn't so covered and there wasn't a spetsura there, but not in such a number of females, the load is standard. i i think they even pay, i bought an unbelievable armor dress in the summer, i was called an elf princess, a witch, i was on the front line for a year, then i returned to civilian life and helped the ukrainian military before the full-scale russian invasion, i worked as a journalist and editor in the telegram channel of a serviceman who warned a woman about a possible attack and not i was ready to return, and there were a couple of us who were thrown by pros and he advised us to buy ammunition, or personal belongings, and to be ready in principle for february 24. i was ready, she was in amnesia, i will have a personal first-aid kit there , and that’s it. well, we called our old ladies, as we say, and went to the base

after february 24. iryna and her brothers got to the kyiv region by mass aviation. well, there were too many of them in the 14th year there was also a little bit of aviation, but it was flying at us like that, it wasn’t easy , and when there are more tanks from three directions, and here it’s also a little strange because, well, i just didn’t have the experience of sitting under fire from three sides, they are fire support they can, well, at that time, they could fight for three to four hours there almost without breathing well, it is difficult here, now a woman in the army helps local residents in the liberated territories, she had to face all the horrors left behind by the russian occupiers, and the most shocking thing was the military's hunger people and children who survived the occupation of the apple trees are much more oksana, such a

village was fun for us more than ourselves and there was nothing much and there were some people falling to their knees by the way bread it was a tin full of it was a helmet for me, there were a lot of children, a lot without a comma, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot. i would like most of them at the time when everything was happening, so that they had time to leave. and in addition to communicating with the locals, the woman recognizes the fallen soldiers this kind of work is done by two children, there are intense battles, and when there are storms, it is not always possible to get the body out on the day when a person died or on the next day , such a brigade because there are a lot of vectors, but the brigades do not succeed even for a week two three excuse my boys because because there is

an intense train going and then when the whole thing passes by then it is difficult the spectacle itself is even very difficult and no matter how funny it sounds and i am bragging there but men in most cases cannot stand such a sight two for what they return home on a shield. this is how the woman calls the fallen soldiers. these are heroes who died fighting the enemy and they had the dignity to find out about them. they sent home a convinced witch, but the most frightening thing about this job is that the shared phone is already on hold, and when this person is your loved one friend, in the last three months, i examined 11 of my friends, they pass by you in your dreams. well , my commander died and i often dream about him, not only that. i catch

flashbacks . on the path of a woman and made her more cynical lesya ukrainka was told not to cry, i was laughing, and i guess that's how most of us are. well, i don't know how everyone is. i 'm talking about myself. i don't understand much at all now in spite of all this, the woman does not give up and continues to work in the army for our victory. while she is helping the armed forces to fight the russians, four-year-old donechka is waiting at home, and the most desirable thing now is to return to childhood. that iryna kovalenko managed to do it, does the strategy

not to cry work, i laughed, i laughed, as lesya ukrainka wrote, and which iryna kovalenko just mentioned, let's talk with a military psychologist andriy kozinchuk, he is in touch with us p. andriy, good day to you, happy new year to you and hello people, happy new year to you, the leader , it is true, but actually she said such words that we are all living now , for sure, for with those lines that lesya ukrainka once wrote so as not to cry, i laughed and probably on this new year's eve. where in those cities where it was very scary, people also tried to drown out with their laughter, those, those, chess, mopeds, to silence the hits of some there or fly why why yes happening why it's our psyche that saves itself well, there 's nothing like that here, there's nothing like that here, it's nothing, it's not physics , it's okay, it's all simpler, er, there is some kind of

reassuring emotion. it has to come out and you can cry , you can laugh, respect er, black humor , cynicism, it's all a thing so that it it didn't matter. well, it's not that it's not important, but it's important that she get out in any way and not stay inside, because now we'll be like, uh, not broken in spirit, but then they took her and broke down. that's why she 's very important in this emotions come out but again, there was a case when, well, something happened there. well, the thing said, i don't know. a mug fell into you with half-drinked coffee. siri's husband burst into tears. it was because he felt sorry for the collectors. he took some verse and cried a lot. well, it's great, it's much worse when you do

n't produce any emotions, and then you explode . lesya ukrainka's strategy not to cry, i laughed. well, it's normal to cry, there's nothing wrong with it. -is about zelenskyi's language, well, i cried and was glad that i'm not done with cynical tricks, i'm capable of some emotions and that's good . there is not to be well, the military guys are not too bad, it’s worth killing, but when the civilians are suffering there, that mariupol bucha well, it just makes me feel terrible, i feel some kind of primal reason for the fact that well, well, children don’t have that, that’s all. but not like that so many children, it makes me cringe right here,

well, this is my kind of militiaman, i will cut it down with my psychotherapist, because well, i am not okay with this, it has to be somehow different, the soldiers came out into the field and from the other side of the other, how are we starting to shovel, oh a it's okay to beat peaceful people in the cities, well, it's not okay, why are n't we so afraid of some people over there? and your beautiful manicure will become a little worse because you have to do work and at first you wo n't be okay, then i'll see you in a month when you're a beetroot, stress over speed, or you're picking a cow because you're adapting, you understand, well, it's the adaptation of a person, a person is such a monster that adapts to everything, we understand mole, he's meant for the dimensions of a fish for a person to swim is

insignificant for nothing, and we adapt to such a thing. and if we were not surprised, then we would go because it is a little bit of a special survival and look here, let's be more precise, we don't have a lack of fear, it's just that our fear becomes more functional, if at the first alarm, 3 were numb and thought where to run, then now you don't remember what you need. i don't know where the chop is, but at the same time, you know that it's better to go into the corridor. that's what it means. well, fear is functional. well, ok, there are children now at war, well, soldiers, ok, not children, but in 8 months, you have already adapted to something, this does not mean that we are full growth without gunmen there with a sword and a bow, but we beat everyone there, yes, no , we we are still afraid, just our fear has become functional so it's a little bit too

often dulled that we're such handsome guys, well, you're fearless, it doesn't mean me, it 's a little google in ukrainian culture to be scary - it's mega spinning but nope, you can just miss some kind of thing, but from the other side well there, uh, when your fear is higher than functionality, when you can’t do something, then you don’t have to deal with it, here you have to work as a psychologist, the holiday period is interesting, on the one hand, you want holidays because our life is already full of constant anxiety, stress, adaptation to all that, and that's why i want to somehow distract myself and switch to the other side. christmas is still ahead of us on january 7. i don’t know if in all of ukraine, for sure, in the

west, in the west of the country, there is definitely this tradition of putting one plate for a traveler empty and setting it on the table for the traveler or for those who are no longer with us, and in fact, as for those families whose e- are relatives died in the war or those families who are waiting for their loved ones from the war because they are now somewhere at the front defending the country, how can they survive these holidays, how can they do it so that they actually don't go crazy again from the loss or from the fact that that person is not next to you now although she is alive and you really hope that she will be alive and the next holidays will be with you, it's already a holiday here, like fun, it doesn't mean that you need to fill up the bottle with alcohol, it's about virtuality .

we are going as families, even if the guy is at the front, his wife is still there , i don’t know, skype telegram, something there, hello, my love , for christmas, here are the fish sending each other on viber, kum language well, in short , anyway, we are going here, here, here, here, here this is the second time well, what to do those who have lost their families and focus on the living, this does not mean forget those who did not no , never forget not only that they died but what the hell they did, well, it is very important to realize that our fellow heroes if they were to be asked now, they would listen , we gathered here to whine and cry loudly, well, they wouldn't appreciate it, they said , "i didn't listen for that, anyway, it's hot here with your life and so put it, put it in a glass,

cover it with bread, write a plate, remember him, but look who is nearby, well, not even at the table, but mentally, well, this one is from one family to the whole of ukraine. please, don't miss the living ones. and, of course, remember. every day we line up, we remember those who died and everyone has their own the stories of these and it is very difficult, but please don't poke me into why they died, they died so that we could live and live, well, it's cool and again , make a ritual, sit down, christmas eve, songs , dishes, all these things, like in my ivano-frankivsk region, everything is still done there there are a lot of bad things, but this thing, i only because of the ritual that we are going to listen to in the army. in the trenches, we will cook some kind of sweet dishes there, and it seems that meat lovers are no longer fed, but tradition is

tradition, grandfather, well, we found everything, that is, if we are here you guys are trying to do it, too they do it at home, they do it , well, i don’t like it, i’m sorry, i think that our viewers have all heard this call of a military psychologist who knows exactly what to do and how to do it so as not to lose your sanity. thank you, mr. andriy thank you for the conversation. andrii kuzinchuk, a military psychologist, was with us, and now we are joining anzhelika sezonenko. there will be news, she will tell you about it. and after that, we will tell you how the blue light mine in russia is, you have been deprived of some opportunity. it is impossible for 3 hours of this madness, but we will discuss it briefly and then. and now, angelica, i thank you for your word. thank you very much, colleagues, for your work. in this issue, i will talk about the consequences of yesterday's missile attacks on
