secret service methods. but on the other hand, we understand that they can implement the provocation not only on the territory of ukraine, but also on the territory of deep russia. well, as they say. territories that russia in particular considers its own, but these territories are the territories of our country, and accordingly considers the temporarily occupied crimea and belarus as territories for carrying out nuclear provocations, the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, andriy yusov, stated that the threat of a nuclear strike from the russian federation cannot be ruled out, however, it is necessary to understand that it will bring the end of the existence of russia itself closer, there is information that the temporarily occupied crimea, the territory of modern belarus, is being considered by putin for holding this kind of provocations, the strategic goals and

objectives of putin from the genocidal war to destroy the ukrainian people have not changed, the immediate military and political goals of the russian federation are access to the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk regions and the acquisition of the crimean land corridor by the russian interventionists, for the second day in a row they attack rescuers in kherson today, the russian military took their lives heroes who saved the lives of others from artillery, the enemy hit the fire station, this is the head of the kherson military administration, yaroslav shukhevych, one rescuer died, four more were injured, one firefighter was in serious condition, an average of three firefighters from the fire department were hospitalized. where doctors are providing them with the necessary assistance, the russians also attacked a residential building next to the fire department, despite the fact that the rescuers themselves came under fire. they immediately set out to extinguish the fire, the so-

called russian christmas truce - this is a grandmother who came under fire in her own home on the eve of christmas, this is the family of a rescuer who cannot wait for his return mr. yanukovych emphasized that his heroes are the four rescuers who will meet christmas in the hospital. and now we will add to our conversation our online guests yevgeny dyky, head of the national antarctic science center, public activist and ex-confectioner of the aidar battalion, evgeny, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes there too with us in this conversation andriy ribaruk, head of the military department of the come back alive veteran of the russian-ukrainian war andriy, congratulations and glory to ukraine to the heroes, glory to the heroes good day well, accordingly, we would like to ask you are you do you have information about the so-called false pseudo-ceasefire, so we included fighters from the bahamian direction, they say that it is wrangling without stopping, evgeny, we will start

with you, i probably can’t sleep, andriy, information in this war, we are probably already experiencing 400, some kind of silence regime, christmas ceasefire, summer truce we had hundreds of them at new year's school and never once did the russian federation follow through on what was promised, and this is exclusively a game for the public, more than directed at foreign policy, some of their activity and desire to sit down at the table of negotiations, for which no one will sit down until they completely leave the territory of ukraine, including the autonomous republic of crimea. that's all. evgeny. how do you see the situation? well, our

side that yesterday absolutely clearly stated that we will not join this so-called truce, that we immediately understand its cunning and do not engage, well, you yourself understand what to say about the truce and whether it is violated in principle sense when he was behaved by both parties since we even yesterday they warned us absolutely openly that we do not recognize him, in fact he is not there, and that is why today's statement that he still gave an order to shoot, well, it 's not even funny. well, because we know from our own practice that even if there was such an order then unilaterally force the soldiers not to shoot when the enemy is shooting at them, well, in principle, this is unrealistic, we ourselves have been in such situations, just at one time we tried to order him to give, well, but this is not a working scheme, so it is absolutely obvious that there it is going on completely normal, you can say a working military day, nothing has changed, or is it

related to putin's effort to organize some kind of truce, in particular, with the fact that these days we have information about military support from our partners france, the usa, germany, we will also talk about for the first time , there are light, but still tanks, about bters, about bmp bradley from the states of marder and patriot, in particular , from germany. likewise, there are other interesting things that can change something. maybe even the situation on the battlefield, right? andriy, right? do you think that it is possible that putin has decided to link this truce with this? no, i don't think so, because the increase in material and technical assistance from our partners will only increase, sorry for the tautology, it is already becoming a regular system the story is because our partners are finding external and internal resources in order to

help the armed forces of ukraine on a permanent basis, and this is a story not only about the fact that they are not the last ones or even written off some military military things inside themselves countries, they are also we do not say and for now it is a secret how much the united states or there france germany in great britain for us contracted the production of these or other a-and this or that armament e-e ammunition in other countries of the world because no one i didn't prepare for this war, ukraine didn't prepare for it, and i didn't prepare for it, and by and large , they are already giving us almost the last thing, and it seems to me that the most important thing is what we need to feel at ease today to host such wonderful broadcasts. -is to talk about our victories is an increase in air defense systems. the united states of america gave us their complex from the

training center, that is, they will not stop training their paratroopers by giving us their battery. it was supposed to go to poland and it will be transferred to ukraine . attacking the enemy and repelling the population one by one yevgeny, in recent days there has appeared that one version of why prigozhyn ivanners is one of the most powerful driving forces of the villages, in particular, and in the direction of bakhmut, allegedly he is interested in the established controls above the salt and gypsum baths near the ukrainian-held city of bakhmut, he is allegedly even sure

that it is in these mines that ours there can keep some equipment and something else uh-uh, this is in particular information uh-uh from the united states uh-uh they have this version of the development of events exactly that's why they will press on bakhmut so much, our military analysts note that bakhmut is strategically important. it opens the possibility of exit to kramatorsk and sloviansk if we are talking about the donetsk region. well, and so on . in your opinion, why is there so much pressure there? it would seem that so many people have already put so much equipment theirs has already been destroyed, and the price we pay for this defense is also extremely high. well, let's start with the fact that i questioned the statement about such a strategic importance of bahmut, oh, god forbid, i would have to leave it like that it would be unpleasant, but it was not a tragedy. it would not break the general situation at the front. it would not change the general course of hostilities, and even this would not fundamentally

change the actual situation in donbas, that is, even the entire donbas would not immediately become russian again . the front lines would have moved so much further, because they were already along kramatorsk - along the line, what is the end of kramatorsk well, but it would be possible to hold on there for months as well, as bakhmut is currently holding on for months, it is rather not about the strategic importance of this city, but about the political significance somehow happened that bahamud was chosen for such a ritual sacrifice, let's say, because i will remind you that the last time the russians occupied a large ukrainian city for the first time in the first week of july. so when i when when when we fell naturally so after lysychansk in the first week of july they they only lost , lost, and lost. after that, not a single important city was taken, and they had a critically important, purely political, not military, task by the new year to show that , after all, they were not exclusively in retreat and in defense and that they still continue to take

cities and at least some city and critically it was necessary to elevate the sovereigns to brunettes, so bakhmut was chosen and this also imposed on their internal conflicts among themselves er worried, but decided to show the classics, the old generalship is losing, the professional generals are in retreat, and his private military company is still able to advance and take cities . the struggle for the chair there, either for the head of the gestaff of gerasimo or for the minister of defense . only him, what about this operation. well, but it should be said that actually it has not happened, that is, the attack on nabakhmut is covering up, but he is already under a spell, he is far from the same as there was two or three weeks ago all the more so, such as minimush , actually. i think we all saw this, well, relatively recent video of this very

criminal, if the criminal warlord would beautify, where he poses precisely against the background of black bags with murdered wagnerites and explains in detail why it was not possible to take mahmut there tells tales about 500 lines of defense dug up freely every 10 m and also looks for other culprits who did not deliver what to him and russian generals, well, you know such classic explanations of a dancer as it is the details of anatomy that prevented him from standing, that's why i think that uh, well, a little more but it seems to me that literally in the coming days we will already be able to state that we have another victory, namely that the next bakhmut choked and they will finally roll back there, but as for the salt mines, i understand what is it about? there are really huge ones in the old soviet times, there are huge warehouses of such infantry small arms, there

are rifles, there are machine guns from the time of the second world war, in particular, for example, these are the legendary thompson submachine guns, which i think everyone saw in the movie about the american mafia. thompson submachine guns were installed earlier, i have to go to the forest forties, but they are lying there, as well as maksim machine guns and others. i very much doubt that these warehouses were not taken out during all these months. i don't know that our command found time to take care of them. well, as they say, we'll live - we'll see. mr. andriy, we'd like to ask you about your vision of this extremely difficult story because, on the one hand, we understand that the enemy seems to be casting a spell and bakhmut is strengthened as much as possible. on the other hand, we understand that the orcs received a specific battle order and they have no other options, so to speak, they climb and climb, well, look, the front does not stop

only at the place of bakhmut, because the activity there is no less fighting, for example, in the area of ​​avdiivka, and in the area of ​​the sands, they are also constantly storming our positions there, 24/7, and trying to get as close as possible and walk to the city of kurakhovo, respectively, and there in one direction and in another direction their effort with such you know schalke scales er is flipping from side to side because somewhere a week more actively goes to bahmut somewhere a week more actively goes to small there from the city there is nothing left of its at all even the foundations of er buildings and it all depends on how quickly they receive reinforcements, which are brought to bakhmut as soon as they are cannon fodder.

activity under bakhmut was brought under maryinka. activity under maryinka was brought there closer to the agreement. activity there increases . - and we see that their aviation is even more active, er, begins to try to fly to the area closer to the contact line, but immediately it rests against our mobile calculations a-a manpads a-a to predict, it seems, i agree with colleague that it is literally still january, er, maybe by the middle of february they will try to take bakhmut, but they will not succeed, we will simply wait until the enemy is exhausted. we will continue to destroy his rear support points and simply completely return this city under our control control and move further in the direction of debaltseve, well, accordingly, you also mentioned additional artillery, our means

, yes, the americans promised that we would receive additional high-mar installations from mr. yevgeny, in your opinion, the strategy, in particular, is not only physically the destruction of the enemy at his command or other points of concentration of manpower of the officers yes , but also the psychological aspect, how does it affect the psycho-emotional state of the enemy, well, for some reason, this is not surprising, but the story with the make-up officer showed that they were still somehow not used to it, although in fact they already had several months for the fact that i have to worry about the fact that we have grown a slightly longer arm than it was, that now the sight of our jet artillery can be reached by sight, well, it is fundamentally different than it was in the summer, in fact , well, how many uh, at least september october, november, december, for at least four months, they are regularly faced with this, but still, for some reason, they still haven't come to the right conclusions. they allow

such things as the makiivites themselves, that is, to place an entire battalion in one building is in principle unacceptable, and even in the same building to make a composition of a bull, well, it’s just fantastic. well, for such things, you must be punished for such things , you must be taught. well, but for some reason it’s still for them. increases our capabilities, let me remind you that at the beginning they will be handed over to us in total only four pieces, but currently there are 20, but 18 more are under contract and in fact, the faster they will reach it well, when all 18 are going, do you consider this to be a doubling of our capabilities, the jet artillery is very long-range well, the truth there are also mlrs that have absolutely the same characteristics, that is, in fact, more than 20, these are 20 of them in their pure form, i don't remember exactly how many mia now. with all due respect to the operator of any other
