on the air saturday period, the club congratulates you on the holidays, dear friends of khrystyna yatskiv, we will talk as usual about the most important things about what was happening in the world and what was happening in our country well, we will probably start by covering the situation from the military side and about the military side especially since i just said bright information ghosts this week we still have, first of all, probably experts represented by the sbu in 2014-2015 and oleksandr kovalenko, a military -political observer of the information resistance group, congratulations , friends, happy holidays, let's congratulate you let's try to understand what's happening around bahmut and soledan, please, let's start with you, mr. ivan, and then we'll move on to you, mr. oleksandr. well, look. well, i'm sticking to my

point of view. i see the story from the point of view of the wagnerites, i see the story itself of prigozhin, who is trying to win in bakhmut in some way to gain even more points to consolidate his success in the russian establishment. however, he has already been granted this for about 6 months and with each every month, every week, i see his situation getting worse by the russian establishment, and this is what makes him do even more desperate attacks in order to win, he just got into such a story when he starts openly criticizing russian teams, russian commands pay him back in the same coin, he starts to reduce the volume of supply we are there of spare parts of ammunition

, this affects the combat capability of the troops and the successes they have and all this in a circle and he again begins to criticize the russian command, this is the colossus of which so far thank god he can't get out, mr. oleksandr, how do you view this situation regarding the soledar, i really wanted to understand, uh, i completely agree with that part, yes , uh, he supplemented the component exclusively tactically , namely, uh, yes , these events have really been happening for more than six months near bahmut, the russian occupiers are trying to implement the offensive phase of uh, assault actions, but what happened during this time, well, for more than six months, uh, 1000 m² of the territory of ukraine was liberated, and uh, kharkiv region, right-bank kherson region , very interesting things are happening now processes in the luhansk region and so on and what

is happening near bahmut and near bahmut are happening what happened for another six months and during this time the russian occupiers used a huge huge technical technological human resource. well, i am not talking about financial and the like this resource did not have any effect. and now imagine what would happen if this resource was not concentrated on some narrow front , namely in the direction of bahmut, but used to strengthen, for example, the id of the russian occupiers a few months ago. right bank kherson oblast or in order to start from the temporarily occupied part of zaporizhzhia oblast to start some offensive actions already in the direction of zaporizhzhia from right bank kherson oblast in the direction of mykolaiv or kryvyi rih so, in fact, bakhmut is another,

we must understand that it is not just a bastion . such an unbreakable fortress. and this one and it is a trap for the russian occupiers who spend a huge resource and cannot use it in another direction, therefore you are also very important in this. the role of mr. oleksandr, i would like to clarify. that is, all these the information situations surrounding soledar have been going on for two days, according to my calculations . this includes part of this planned operation about a trap for the russians , because now there is information that soledar is more or less stable and the armed forces of ukraine receive him by 95%, the situation is about it is really very difficult for the soledar to talk about what is there. in fact, everything is fine. i can't because the threat is really a threat, it exists, a

large number of forces and means are concentrated. the bakhmut plandar, because it can have such a name, it has every right to be called the bakhmut plazdar, there are currently 15-16 battalions of tactical tactical groups concentrated in the forward zone, and the enemy, and they are not fresh, yes. they are bloodless, they have losses, and yet others a huge resource that really represents a rather serious threat. in addition , in the near future, the russian occupiers will bring to this bridgehead another fairly fresh six battalion tactical groups that are already part of regular units, and the second of the combined military army of the eastern military district. so, in fact, the tension will only grow, the fact that today soledar

remains under the control of the armed forces of ukraine - this is precisely an element of the professionalism of our armed forces in relation to every other settlement of the city of e-e that was located on this bridgehead and which for which they spent a huge amount of resources, and the russian occupiers, in order to buy them, yes, they are the elements that slow down this resource in the donetsk region . they cannot be released, as we see it, let's see, let 's try to understand what will change , ivan and after the west started talking about providing ukraine with offensive weapons, firstly , will they give it, and secondly, what will it change? look, step by step, step by step, ukraine will receive that equipment, that weapon even let's give it like this, we couldn't even dream yes, in the month of april of the 22nd year, what will they give us? here are these weapons, that is, they are already giving them already about the

patriots. oh, if you think about it, one is enough, two. well, it might be. well, here we are already starting to sort yes, the french give it, the americans give it, the germans give it, and this is the equipment that was manufactured back there in the 70s. yes, and it, as i understand it , was intended to oppose the soviet union, and we now have such a situation when russia no longer has modern equipment and that what they give us seems to be old, but in its essence, it can counteract the equipment of the soviet post-soviet model that is now in the russian federation, that is, any heavy equipment, not even tanks, they also speed up our victory, they give us an advantage not on all, not on all simple fronts on individual in areas we will really have an advantage and this technique, for example, is french. yes, these machines are used for reconnaissance purposes, yes, they make ambushes, that is, they transport infantry here. this is a really cool story,

which we currently lack. and this is the largest aid package from the united states states began this story . we thank him emmanuel macron, light tanks, what kind of tanks, after all , germany also had its say. offensive weapons for sure. let the military have your comments. but at the same time, it is interesting to see what will happen next. the discussion about the american abrams and everything that is an unresolved issue with the leopards looks and looks like the united states will mature on the abrams just after its step in fact , the countries of the european union will make their own move, mr. alexander, is it possible, as my empty dreams

say ? in some countries, hundreds of them are in service. but again, if we, ah, hmm, we are talking about the fact that we can get two leopard tanks, then we need the consent of not only the country that owns these methane gas that uses them and is ready to provide them to us, and there must also be consent from berlik. this is the point, because germany is a producer country, it is an exporting country that provided these tanks, so it must give its consent, and at the beginning of 2022 , spain was ready to provide us with tanks leopard 2, but germany is acting here, it has blocked exactly this desire, by the way, it has

blocked not only these desires, er, the production of these tanks by germany, but also the weapons that remained in germany, and after the unification, it has been since soviet times she resold these weapons, re-exported them, and again, mp1a1 from greece, for example. also, we could not get them right away because germany did not agree to transfer them instead of them . well, already their bmws, uh, well, this is such a difficult political situation, and this is the position of germany well, now we see that germany is gradually starting to help us more and more, but for now, if we are talking about such a serious weapon as tanks, it seems to me that germany will still slow down this process, so we can count on the technology that will also be profitable and useful to us during our

contour offensive actions was, for example, this package that the usa provides us for 3 billion dollars, if you do not pay attention to these sparrow missiles and other elements, but exclusively to the infantry component of equipment artillery ammunition, it is very interesting here that it is actually the equipment of the battalion-tactical group of the assault battalion-tactical group, which can carry out fairly mobile assault operations, and this is very interesting . what will it be, it will be another rather rapid counteroffensive on some bridgehead

after some time, i am sure we will see it. of the military on the territory of belarus, is moscow really planning any operations in the north of our country? is this just such a propaganda work related to the withdrawal of a certain part of the ukrainian troops from the east of the south of the country ? germany is hesitant to transfer to one or another technique, this is all a situation that reminds me of a birthday, when all the relatives have gathered, no one can say the first toast. yes, everyone hesitates there. everyone is looking at you can you say maybe you will say and when someone first opens this gate yes and then it rushed and now i will say and i will say let me say one more time that's where finland says well if someone takes a step yes there at least half an inch in the direction transfer of equipment in ukraine, then we will transfer it to the european union, now everyone knows that they are looking at each other, so who

will start? sooner or later, germany, well, in a normal sense, movement, yes, under pressure . will supplement even more with such fine details, but at the beginning, not even at the beginning somewhere, but in the fall, because the information is that they are driving there from belarus, and ammunition and equipment are being taken in the direction of the russian federation, as if they are being taken out instead, mobiks are being brought in and they are training there they train on these sites that are not in the russian federation, then information appears that something is still being brought to belarus, then they were taken out, brought in, it is unclear whether they were some kind of er empty er do you know this as a distraction, it is not clear to me personally what is happening some at some points,

they haul equipment on these railway platforms along the ukrainian border. yes, they drag it there from brest to the east. they brought the technicians who spent the night there and turned them back. now i see that they no longer haul even heavy equipment, namely the ural kamaz and infantry, but heavy equipment as such, i really haven't seen it yet. yes, i saw that lukashenko traveled literally this week , the joint belarusian -russian group. he went there and hugged them. he tried to find out what shortcomings you have, let's talk . from the journalists there, i apologize to the fool from the tent , we will have a serious conversation there, but for now, i see that this is only a distraction . well, of course, in the situation, it can change any day. attracting attention well, of course, there is a big insult to

our border guards who show them not very pleasant gestures and they are so sincerely offended, well, that's something. and we, then, why do you offend us so much? and for e-e mobilization in the russian federation they can collect up to 500,000, reports the main directorate of intelligence, in addition, kyrylo budanov just recently announced the possibility of e-e more intensive offensive of the russian federation on ukraine literally in the spring, which in principle was reinforced somewhat later by the words of the secretary of the security and defense council oleksiy danilov. well, if you add it all up, it doesn't look like it's just shots in the air. what do you think, mr. ivan? well, let's do it for now. well, we see belarus as i personally see it is from this angle of heavy equipment that i do not see, yes , they are coordinating there, they are dragging

certain equipment along the border, indeed, on the other side, they are preparing mobiles from the mobilized ones, but what else are the nuances of sweeping them up, they say that we let's constantly increase the russian army, that is, they can't say that we are recruiting new mobilized to restore losses, they can't admit that there are losses, they show that there are up to 10,000 losses and that's all, that is, they just decided not to show the losses officially, but simply add that the army is increasing, that is and keeps. i understand that this number is mobilized, it will keep the russian army at a certain number. that is, it does not actually increase, but it is kept at one on one number somewhere. well, probably at the end. yes we have time there, alexander, how quickly the russian federation, together with belarus or without belarus, can deploy a strike group in the north not far from our

borders so that it would be effective for them. well, this group should be at least numerically 40,000 personnel because that is exactly the number she took part in the invasion on february 24 from the territory of belarus, but it was the elite, it was the units of the professional military, they did not cope with this task, but we understand that and it would be unrealistic to have such a number. now we are talking about schmoks, now we are talking about not a professional resource, not a high-quality resource. so, much more than 40,000, 50, 60,000, at least this initial number should be in order to form these strike groups, and in addition , it is necessary the number of regular equipment , well, that is, if you understand it, for each battalion, a tactical group should be at least 11 tanks, it should be 33bm, it should be artillery barrel rockets
