here you need to consider the maps of the hostilities, in general, there are well-known directions such as vugledar, kriminar, etc. bakhmut. of course, the enemy is trying to concentrate the maximum number of manpower there, as well as the technical means of artillery in order to push through these populated areas. i will explain that there is also a certain element of propaganda here the russian federation is not successful on any part of the front, and in order for the propagandists to give something to the people, they need a small sectoral victory, if i remember correctly, at the end of august, and actively the news spread at the expense of the so-called mass media in the russian federation that it was supposed to take bakhmut, but today we already have 2023 and the code stands accordingly, is it possible to concentrate and attack the enemy on certain sections of the front in order to push through and show it to society in the russian federation even a small victory is still possible, but this is under the responsibility

and control of our intelligence, accordingly, the intelligence knows exactly how the enemy will act, and the armed forces of ukraine are accordingly preparing as military people are ready for the worst case scenario, because if we talk about the worst case scenario, we will be ready for it, then we will go through easier options for the development of events without any unnecessary problems, as for the enemy in general, it must be understood that they also began to have a certain hunger for ammunition, we could all together with by you look who is interested in bogdanov's last interview where he cited statistics that are publicly available now it is a well-known statistic that he used 60,000 ammunition of various types of shots against them, so artillerymen it means that now the statistics have decreased to 20, and the further it will be, the more difficult it will be for them, and accordingly, the industry of the russian federation is not able to produce

the amount of ammunition in order for them to have an additional 60,000 per day. even 20. therefore, it is a shame that it can actually be reduced to 10-12 plus, in addition, one should not forget that artillery means are also important in addition to ammunition. first, the armed forces of ukraine are actively conducting counter-battery combat and hit the enemy's volley fire system, as well as artillery means and there is such a concept as well-worn stories, so according to such a chewing fire used by the russian occupiers, the barrels wear out quickly enough and the accuracy and aim of the fire is lost many times as far as the enemy's armored vehicles are concerned. it is actually well-known open information that the enemy has changed the tactics of offensive actions, what is meant if before it was under the cover of armored vehicles a large number of people tried to storm our positions today they are storming in small groups of manpower ranging from five to 22

by military personnel who are approaching your positions so that our artillery cannot work on them due to the use of agronomists-grenade launchers, the ags is trying to jump somewhere into the trenches, knocking us out of these positions , is the enemy not successful ? that this armored vehicle will increase its parts , it is powerful enough, it is already needed in the russian federation and it will take time for its repair and restoration, so they are trying to protect the vehicle, does this mean that everything will be normal and the enemy will not carry out violent offensive actions in certain specified directions. no, this does not mean that the enemy has enough reserves, including distinguishing means and armored vehicles . and

the equipment that was in conservation is trying to put it up now, is it high-quality equipment, no, but it is not of high quality, and the enemy can be said to be prepared mobilized on a low-quality tank, it is still a combat unit that is capable of firing at our positions and hitting our positions, so the enemy still has enough reserves to actively carry out offensive actions in some directions, accordingly, taking into account the announced assistance from the united states of america from our international partners of the european union can be advised that on the section of the front of the sown length, which are available, we will be able to ensure parity of fire means a due to effective adjustment of fire artillery of the latest technical means that enable us to do this, the advantage will definitely be on the side of the armed forces of ukraine, the only

thing is, once again addressing the population, friends, i have two extremely big requests, please don't think about what is happening now from our conversation. so that's all it will definitely be normal and somehow it will bring and there will not be any negative consequences related to interruptions in electricity supply, water supply , drainage and the rest, however, it is very important that each of you is ready because in russia today, the federation still has enough missiles to fire at critical infrastructure objects. the russian federation, for a certain period of time, produced there 4-6 e-e missiles per month, now they have corrected this situation at the expense of countries that support the e-e war against ukraine, it is hidden and, accordingly, now they can produce various types of missiles, approximately from 30 to 40 months, respectively, for one massive salvo strike against structures in

ukraine, they need two and a half months for training plus additionally a certain number of shaheds they have left in what does this mean, this means that despite the fact that we have an extremely powerful polo, despite the fact that we will receive various types of air defense systems, still a certain number of these missiles may be may critically hit the infrastructure and in the winter period , the civilian population may remain without electricity for 12-14 days, water supply, drainage, accordingly, you must take care of yourself, your loved ones, and those whom you can help. you must purchase definitely warm things, you need to buy a battery for charging phones, burners, sublimate canned food so that you can last all 14 days. if you manage to do it, you can be sure of the armed forces of ukraine, exactly

reliably . will definitely resume the supply of the necessary carriers. thank you very much, mr. yuryu. i joined the take care of yourself. i can only join in and support his opinion about the fact that of course the enemy will not stop, the enemy has lost many forces and many means, but he remains dangerous, he has missiles, the most important thing for the enemy is that he has partners, this is iran and other countries who in one way or another directly or indirectly help the russians, well, belarus, of course, in the person of lukashenka, help russia to build up its potential and strike ukraine from the air from the ground . post, how is it correct to say, will they

clarify the data of the conscripts whom they call to the military commissariats, this process is not active enough well, the russians are waiting for the second wave of mobilization, some understand that we will die, and some by the way, the wives of those who can be cut down, frankly, they are waiting just for a good car, you can buy one for your husband's life. that's how it all really is. and that's why we understand why they want war, because it's money, real money, for nothing, for what they 'll kill, eh. the duties of the head of the nikopol district council, dmytro, i congratulate you. good evening. so today, while looking for more information about nikopol , i found information about the fact that there was a night shelling of nikopol. there were victims. after the shelling the day before yesterday , which was in the central part of the city and the territory of nikopol and the nikopol district , a 64-year-old man who was seriously wounded

at night unfortunately died in the nikopol city hospital hospitals, therefore, unfortunately, the terrorists who are shelling nikopol once again killed a person, just an ordinary ordinary citizen who was just at home at this time just sleeping at home in his building, so tonight was no exception . neighboring forces despite the fact that their leader of the terrorist organization is talking about some kind of christmas truce, and the nikopol district is experiencing regular shelling as usual well, there are no indications that a cease-fire is approaching. in fact, there is no such thing. i want to ask about the humanitarian situation in nikopol, nikopol region, light, heat, water , gas supply, in what condition are these

services for the local population, please, there is gas, there is water, there is light sometimes it disconnects , of course, according to the appropriate schedule, uh, dteka, someone has a uh, longer disconnection, someone has a less disconnection, and now it’s here, of course, there is such positive weather and, in principle, the winter passes more or less well. let’s say so in more or less such calm relations ago that the warm weather is a little bit for us, for the residents of the nikopol district, it plays a plus. well, every utility worker already and k- local self-government, in fact, every day, they become more prepared for winter, for all these shellings, because the number of generators is increasing, the points of invincibility are increasing, and the points of invincibility are improving, ensuring business in itself e.e. generators in each, in order for this business to work, we continue to distribute in the territory of the nikopol district, owing a lot to foreign partners, austrian charities the fund is thermos flasks, lanterns, therefore, in

principle, the situation in this regard in nikopol and the nikopol district is becoming more prepared for insidious shelling from terrorists from the territory of the hares every day do they stay in nikopol in nikopol region, which is more of a measure and a transit er transit transit area through which they go further or to the west of ukraine or far abroad please a-ah well in the summer and in the spring, we have a lot of immigrants. last year, there were more than 10,000 displaced people. they lived here. we worked a lot with them in different directions. of the district, that is, people know how every immigrant has a different level of income. as a rule , people who have a little more income

go either abroad or to the west in ukraine or in the regional center, people who have a lower income part do not have such great opportunities to pay rent. they live and a lot in the rural area of ​​the nikopol district, in fact, we have a force that has increased the population by 100%, which was before the war. that is, all these vremyanka houses are abandoned without gas, without electricity in remote villages of the nikopol district . today, they are completely filled with immigrants and settlers , including those from nikopol. yes, also displaced people, because they left a lot for the territory of the distant territories of the nikopol district. i thank you very much, dmytro. take care of yourself. may god insult the nikopol region . russia's wish is to announce

a christmas truce, they said that russia's wish is actually to reduce the intensity of the fighting in order to gain time for additional mobilization . the russian army in a day lost up to the goals of the btg , well, the tactical group, it cannot contain from 500 to 8 hundred fighters. well, such losses are now in russia. of course, they announce an armistice, well, they ask for an armistice. we will always remember severodonetsk, lysychansk , bakhmut-mariupol, the first the days near kyiv, when people were running away, when people were under attack, when tanks came and crushed people just on the streets, then for some reason no one talked about reconciliation. well, for us, too, your truce is low before this reconciliation. will not comply, russia will still provoke to beat and kill innocent people like today in the kherson region, in particular, therefore it is clear where putin can put this truce on the table there in moscow. don't miss it. it will be interesting. it

will be interesting. i congratulate you. this is freedom. life on the radio. freedom, we have already come to the very change. the following frames may shock you. news from the scene of events live kamikaze drone attacks, political analysis, objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season exclusive interviews reports from the hottest points of the front freedom life frankly and impartially draw your own conclusions well, i think it's time for the military results of the day with me near the map of hostilities serhii zgurets, director of the defense express agency congratulations serhiy i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers and today we will pick up the first summary of the week on the front line, more on that in a moment, so the new year begins, uh, a few days have passed in this year 2023, and the russians

are starting to scare ukraine. they are probably ours partners of their possible large-scale offensive, what do they call it? how do we know this, first of all, we learn this from the russian media, which are simply full of messages for military experts that allegedly in 3-4 weeks, a large-scale offensive of the russian armed forces will begin we may not even know about the belarusian forces - it is said from many sides on the territory of our country that they think it will give them victory in about four to five months of active fighting, it is a bit like the premises of a ukrainian expert. we don't know oleksiy arrestovych, only the russian arrestovych. who is he, how much is he doing, and what is the real basis for him? well, it's kyiv again in three days. well, in fact, we are talking about the fact that this is, of course , an exaggeration, because it is hardly possible to focus on the russian public in order to perceive the current situation. reality is a forum about the fact that the enemy is really gathering forces to carry out offensive actions. and actually, the general staff and the

commanders of the military councils have repeatedly talked about this, and actually when we talk about possible offensives, we are really here prepared a map showing the possible directions of the enemy's actions starting from belarus to the offensives from there in the direction of sumy in the direction of kyiv and in the direction of kharkiv, but these red arrows seem to look disturbing and frightening, but we must first of all understand whether the enemy has the strength to carry out of such an offensive, we understand that now on the territory of ukraine, the enemy receives a grouping of 250,000 after the first mobilization, after compensation for losses, he has left somewhere within the limits of 200,000, which are now passing on training and preparation, that is, in general, again we say that a maximum of 450,000 can be involved in hostilities, while we know that our defense forces number 1 million personnel

, in fact, we have a numerical advantage over the enemy, that in any case, offensive actions with any in which direction so far they only look like arrows on the maps and in any case we are talking about the fact that in the near future we will talk about the fact that an offensive against them can be carried out from belarus, what does she say whether the attack is from the direction of sumy or kharkiv is actually a certain exaggeration, so in any case we understand all these challenges and risks, but we understand that in the near future it is unlikely that ukrainian border guards today spoke about the fact that the possibility of an attack from the territory of belarusians is, in principle, doomed to tie in ukrainian defense and the city about the fact that the entire border line there was about kilometers long , it was mined and cluttered with various means, plus certain natural means. tree trenches were installed on the territory of kyiv region. that is, this is a rather serious group which is actually waiting for the enemy, plus, all possible offensive zones are targeted with ukrainian

artillery, snipers , mortar calculations, and as the ukrainian defenders said, we do not plan to even let the enemy cross the border into the territory of ukraine and we will do everything so that if he advances, he will be tied up in battles precisely on the border of belarus and ukraine, there is another question that if active fighting starts here, then it is clear that i should fly only on ukrainian territory and on the territory of belarus as well. but again we are talking about the possibility of action, but when we talk about the number of enemy personnel, according to the conclusions of the general staff, it is said that in the territory of the kursk bryansk region , in the territory of belarus, there are a total of 20,000 russian personnel, 20,000, i.e. in fact, this indicates that they simply do not have 20,000 - this is half as much as the group that attacked kiev from the territory of belarus. at that time there were 45,000 or so enemy forces. now we are talking about only 20,000, which are smeared and repeated in kursk

, bryansk and in the territory of belarus, where they are on the training grounds, so it is quite logical that our general staff says that there are no grounds for the formation of an offensive group. so far, there are no and what is also said by the leaders who are responsible for specific areas of defense, indeed, all forces are thrown into making it impossible to advance those forces that in the future, they can be expanded to a grouping that can carry out offensive operations. well, we are not taking into account the armed forces of the republic of belarus. clarify certain data, this information even appears on e-e bulletin boards at train stations in belarus. but again, we do not take this into account yet, because we do not know who is there, what is there, what is the situation in russia, the belarusian army there are names in the cadre and the army, so we are moving to the south in zaporozhye and the south of donetsk region. the occupiers

are concentrating a large number of personnel and equipment. there are versions that this is being done only to maintain the territory. big novosilky well, when we talk about the south , i am a supporter of the approach that, in fact, now all the actions of the enemy are primarily directed at building a reliable defense and maintaining this land corridor for as long as possible, which is extremely important for the enemy in terms of access to the crimea and control of everything of this e-e coast, which he has so far. so far, what he holds is really happening now that the groups that were transferred from the right bank of kherson - they went to the bahmut zone, new units are being established here, and in parallel, just all transport routes are being fortified, and in order to ensure our protection, on the

other side, we can see melitopol, tokmak , and vasylivka - these are our settlements - these are the settlements that, even after the new year, were subjected to active strikes by our long-range artillery which in fact led to significant casualties among the enemy, among the command staff, among ammunition stocks, and so on. in fact, as we said, the tactics of the ukrainian side of maximum destruction of the key centers of gravity of the russian defense, personnel, managers and ammunition , this work will last for a certain time, and i think that it will be a few months, and then it will be possible to say that our offensive actions are possible. the concentration of such a force does not allow them to ensure any advancement

in those areas that the fans may consider promising for themselves, there is still a little more focusing attention in the south and east of ukraine right there where where were the russian locations of deployment of their personnel and also the places where ammunition and equipment were stored the loudest resounding of the usual story from makiivka where they died according to the minimum estimates up to 400 a-a russian mobilized people are said to have been there and up to uh six hundred a also in the kherson region in chulakivka, 300 fedorov enemies were destroyed, 250, well, tokmak, which you already talked about, again, what are the conditions for this to continue , because, in principle, now, at the beginning of the year, the russians are in battles, well, because of such shelling lose up to one battalion a day, that's somewhere around 500-600, even up to 700 people, and really these indicators are quite impressive, because they say that the enemy of the conditions, in other words , restored the staff numbers of those units

that suffered losses, i repeat at the beginning of the war, they entered there numbers in 180 or now 250,000 with mobs with everyone and in fact it seems that the more enemies are in our territory there and the more of them are destroyed due to our long-range systems i think that this trend will continue there is no reason to say that it will change to some other side, we understand that actually the enemy is making a lot of mistakes from the point of view and dislocation if we are talking about the strike that was aimed at a number of enemy objects and in any case we understand that the prerequisites for conducting offensive operations on our side , the work of the artillery, which has not yet been created, will continue , and i think such dynamics will be maintained in the future. well, kherson was discussed with the guests this week, and you must have talked about it. and i

talked about it. a photo of a ukrainian soldier setting up a yellow-blue flag there, uh, they didn’t confirm what it was or wasn’t a photo, well, at least they didn’t know who it was, but there was a conversation about it, and the headquarters didn’t say unequivocally that this island is coming under ukrainian control, uh, then you’ll say supposedly, these islands are the so -called gray zone, but what is important here for understanding is how you can create what is needed for that and how long you can create a so -called 20-kilometer zone without enemy artillery, what should be done for this? well, really spoke about the fact that as soon as the enemy will be pushed out on the left bank, which actually happened at the expense of our general operation, the enemy is now using uh-uh in the entire territory where he can carry out strikes on our objects quite actively, and this also applies to all the islands that are located along the dnipro river, and actually this story

related to this island was actually caused by the fact that at times there were russian mortars from which the same kherson was fired upon. i think that the creation of the reality of the security line due to the work of our artillery, the task is quite achievable. but i understand that the actual significant front line, which requires such close control and intelligence data and strikes, is not just a task for our artillery, but in any case, we see that mainly strikes are carried out on objects that have the most critical significance and when we are talking about the islanders, i think that it will remain such a gray zone where on both sides there will be attempts to ensure control and attempts to dislodge the enemy from such territories. by the way, the air alarm sounded quite often during the last week, on the territory of the occupied crimea and in simferopol and in sevastopol and in dzhankoy, there in a number of other

national points, the russians wrote about the fact that they shot down everything, destroyed everything, on the other side the public and local people wrote that not everything was destroyed there, explosions were heard and seen fire well, at the very end, they understand what kind of press crimea is under, what pressure it is under, and that it is within the reach of ukrainian forces and means, uh, it's not the russians who decided to hang such a sign on the door to crimea, beware of the evil dog, that is, we have nuclear weapons here as evaluate this statement is for everyone to understand. and the characters and partners have made up, we don't need to get into them, you know, nuclear weapons. well, suddenly nuclear weapons will fall somewhere and that's all. well, there are actually carriers of nuclear weapons, the question is whether there are nuclear weapons, that's a separate thing, and ours the head of polyana intelligence, i said that there is no data yet that there are tactical nuclear weapons, but the enemy's eyes that there may be weapons that can be used in reality , in my opinion, is an impetus to ensure such complete unity of americans, europeans about that crimea should be liberated as soon as possible, because if we liberate crimea from people who

threaten the world with tactical nuclear weapons, then we will secure both europe and ourselves, so i think that this may be the impetus for the liberation of crimea to even precede the liberation there e.e. to donetsk and luhansk as the most difficult regions, and in fact it can be an object that, at the expense of conventionally speaking, the cutting of provision, can be transferred to such hungry rations, and in fact it will be an impetus for the enemy left this peninsula as soon as possible. by what military science does the enemy accumulate its munitions warehouses in one or another territory? it is difficult to say. well, near the matchmaker in the luhansk region, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed a huge warehouse that the russians filled for about a week. this is despite the fact that there is intelligence there, there are satellites, there are people partisans who can see it. saboteurs are transmitting information, but uh, that means they are entering, patiently waiting for the ukrainian, well, uh, the occupiers, uh, are still trying to push back the armed forces of ukraine. so how much uh, uh, ammunition

destroyed there and, in general, the situation in this area. well, when we talk about er, svatov and ammunition, it is difficult to estimate the total amount. strikes on starobilsk, where ammunition was also accumulated, and in fact, precisely this made it possible to reduce the enemy's use of artillery in that area, which is quite difficult today, we are talking about the line between svatovo and crimea here in fact, when we talk about er svatov , the opposition is going there, because the battles of the advance do not have any sides, although the activity of infantry

units and artillery remains in turn, for our advances in the crimean area and in the dibrov border, the foundations are now being laid for the encirclement of crimea itself, and it was there that hera the zaluzhnyk said that there are actually all the prerequisites for the further advance of our troops, so that this area remains very difficult and tense, but with all the prerequisites. just in time for changes for the better in the flint zone and due to the advancement of our units. well, it seems to me from what i managed to read and hear directly from the participants of the battles under bakhmut that the situation there is changing in our favor the benefit is precisely due to the endurance of the skill and sacrifice of the ukrainian army. so we saw a video the other day how the battle in bakhmut is already being fought on the outskirts and not in residential areas as it was before. does this mean that the armed the forces of ukraine managed to push the enemy out of the residential areas and move the combat zone to the outskirts of the city. well, in fact, the

situation around bakhmut remains complicated because all these frontal frontal attacks that you are talking about, which were connected with the fact that the enemy entered the city from the east, in fact , these movements of the enemy are halted, although he is entrenched right in the forest, right near the area, right in front of the houses in the east of the city, and there he is trying to carry out further offensive actions. now we just see that this is a forest zone where right now the enemy is trying to expand its presence, but all frontal attacks are now frankly speaking, there is no sense for the enemy from the point of view of productivity, we recall these statements of the same manager or owner of the wagner pvk , there is still no ammunition, the ukrainians had
