to hear the answers, but we understand that it is necessary to remain silent and very often help the defense forces with our silence. thank you. this was nataliya gumenyuk, the head of the press center of the security and defense forces of the operational command south. the former prime minister of russia in 1998, he was considered such an intellectual, so he was for six months, for example , until the economic crisis occurred , bankruptcy occurred, do you remember this default of russia and yevhen primakov was returned, and then there was a joke that he had something on the prime minister's desk for 32 or 33 years, then after that summer they scratched it , so when primakov came, he read the inscription there was seryoga . the head of the office of the administration of the president of russia and he was responsible for the south, do you remember the curator and how often we said that he went there and held a meeting with

someone in front of the master said that russia is here forever there and in kherson to melitopol and they thought that this had not happened in kherson for a long time or at least in molytopol or berdyansk. where did serhiy kiriyenko go? where did he go? he disappeared from the news media altogether. russia is over forever. well, he was active before russia drew four of our regions in the constitution, supposedly precisely for that reason. activities in principle and developed, they have just glued it as they think, and the expediency of his visits has also disappeared. well, what are they thinking there, it's frogs, vipers. and we are in touch with stepan barna, a serviceman of the tenth ogshbr of the armed forces of ukraine, mr. stepan, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes christ was born, we glorify him, let's talk about the situation in donetsk region, we have already provided information from the regional military administration, the shelling of cities

with a civilian population, the destruction of the infrastructure continues. the armistice announced by putin strongly suggests that any agreements with russia are not even worth the paper on which they are signed, bismarck also said this and it is absolutely true the truth is that during the last days of the last days , even on christmas eve, the shelling actually did not stop, the shelling did not stop, and at the same time, the artillery shelling, the aviation, tanks, mortars, that is, by all possible means, yesterday there were even the use of phosphorus bombs, that is, such a kind of fireworks took place in the zone of hostilities and this suggests that it is practically impossible to agree on anything with russia, and

it is clear that continue the assault actions by the occupiers, they were of a repeated nature, especially in the area of ​​soledar belohorivka and many other settlements , that is, the soledarmakhmutz direction , in general, let's stop for a moment, there have been a lot of insinuations in the last few days, on the other hand, the 46th separate airborne assault unit is establishing its control over important borderlands. well, actually, 95% of soledar is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine yuriy butusov informed us about this a little earlier. it is clear that uh. it is clear that the enemy is not doing very well . now they have described the situation in soledar, this is a key story in particular for bakhmut in the future. well, and so on. well, you see

, most of the time, we focused everyone’s attention on the information field around bakhmut, directly in no city, but it must be understood that the battles take place not only in the place of bakhmut, but - and the enemy is trying to bypass bakhmut from the north , including through soledar, through many other settlements that are directly above bakhmut, and there the guys are no less heroically defending the ukrainian land and not make it possible to break through the so-called bakhmut fortress, and when we talk about the direct solomon and i was there for literally a few days recently, i would like to note that the situation there is quite stable, and it is necessary to understand that the peculiarity of the battles, especially the city , is precisely that it changes permanently from tactically, tactically, as soon as they get into the military or on the territory

of industrial facilities, well, it goes without saying that, for example, artem the gray occupies a huge territory or other enterprises occupy a huge territory in the city, and therefore to say what percentage of the city is currently under the control of the russian occupiers? it is too early because this situation is dynamically changing, but it should be noted that part of soledar has such a mountainous character, that is, the terrain is much higher than it. it is clear that there is active activity in this part of the city. the fight is because the enemy wants to improve his godly positions, mr. stepan, well, there is information from the intelligence of our partner, it seems to be american chebritan, about the fact that in the lord, i always call him a person regozhin yevgeny prigozhin has a financial interest in the personal interest in bahma and soledar, which

seems to have salt and other productions there, before about six months ago, i read that he was also counting on deposits of shale gas, which are located in this area, and they gave him a search in those mines, hoping to find something there no well, it seems that he was given a mandate, you will conquer it, then one day you will extract salt, shale gas, other minerals. do you think there is a personal interest, well, financial interest, not in the plan that he wants, but there are russians, peace, peace brought but simply wants to improve his personal financial situation because well, what he was doing there, for example, in syria, he improved there, including his financial personal financial situation, and it’s just that the russian mobs simply do n’t even know about this, about the true intentions of their commanders and when i see this photo we took yesterday and yesterday , it turns out that it appeared today, i looked when there was just a field strewn with corpses and those there

were surrounded by circles and there are up to a hundred of them lying there and no one takes them away, i just, well, some insanity or stupidity or insanity, i don't know what it's called, well, look , the fact is that russia is built on the principle of feudal rule, that is, putin has already identified himself as a monarch . what territory of that territory was given to him and what part of it does he pay to the king, and there was a management system in the middle ages, i would like to point out that this is quite real because even at the rank and file level we see manifestations of looting from on the part of the russian soldiers, e.e. starting from the toilets of the famous and the teapots, that is, ending with women’s underwear and so on. that is, this is a characteristic feature of any russian soldier and the occupier in this case, that they

can share something there, shale gas on the console, it is obvious that they are far away large and there was even somewhere at the beginning of the 14th year, if you remember, there was even information that the war started with the russian federation because of the lancet gas and the belassian gas, because there are certain volumes of the so-called shale gas relief, it is obvious that it is possible, it is possible, in putin's plans, it will also be necessary to pay for the services provided by wagner's private army and the kadyrivites in connection with this war, it is obvious that he must motivate them and talk about great prospects, but unfortunately, their prospects here are vague, i am sure in the fact that there will be ukraine and we will win here, all the more. now it is so cold that i think that few russian soldiers

want to fight now, because i would like to note that somewhere in this territory sinoptik shows -15 and the thermometer shows -20, that is, the situation here is quite cheerful, and now few people have the desire . especially here, there was some kind of attack, except, of course, artillery, air force . in the front-line territories, there are still many people still alive despite the war and despite the daily shelling, how effectively does this government cope with its tasks now so, the city, unfortunately, i did not have the opportunity to communicate with the representatives of the authorities and see them there, especially their functionality, how they cope with the social

component, it is obvious that it is because people leave the territory, people are born, people need to be placed somewhere, the infrastructure needs to be fixed and repaired to restore especially bridges, but unfortunately i did not contact the authorities at all, so it is difficult for me to evaluate their activities in terms of humanitarian work with refugees. the military members of our tenth mountain assault brigade are involved. thank you , mr. stepan, stepan barna, a serviceman of the tenth separate mountain assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. yes, thank you. well, we are going to the luhansk direction and for communication and studio serhii haydai, head of the luhansk regional of the military administration mr. sergey, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to you i actually have many reasons to talk to you let 's start with the purely military situation

in the luhansk region yesterday analysts noted that from the direction of bakhmut , the russians are trying to transfer their forces to the direction of klimnia, because they are not doing very well there either, how does the situation in the given direction look now, uh, the situation is stable uh, yes , heavy battles are going on there, they are really shifting the direction of klimnia, new units are the most there combat-capable - these are amphibious units, several battalions were transferred, plus heavy equipment was also transferred to them. well, first of all, this means that uh, after all, they are uh... step by step, but they are recapturing the territory of the luhansk region very hard, now the frosts have hit, it's 15-17° at night, so now it will be very difficult because, well,

imagine that in a clear field somewhere 17° frost for soldiers is enough, well, such a bag temperature well, let's say cold frozen ground and low temperatures, they have a more negative effect on those who are trying to defend themselves or on those who have this initiative in the initiative, here it can be said that combat actions are from both parties because heavy equipment eh it's really hard, both on our side and on the part of the russian occupying forces, it's really still there in a day or two and it 's very, very serious. to get stuck, but i really hope that it will still be an advantage on

our side, because it was just not enough to advance a little faster somewhere, because of the support of heavy equipment, but british intelligence says that the bolt is important to release the crime on the people of luhansk and russians understand this they are very afraid of a breakthrough of their right flank , according to british intelligence officers, the russian command will most likely consider the pressure around the flint as a threat to the right flank of its bakhmut e sector, which it considers key for any future advance with the aim of occupying the rest of the donetsk region. well, the following conclusions have been reached intelligence of britain, how important it is for the russians to contain this crime now, i am asking our well, there are several components here, and it is important in them, and the goal is to contain the crime because indeed, the flanks can open and then

the whole group that storms bakhmut constantly will be broken in half. well , the second part is from crime, and you know, of course, not like bakhmut on hearing, but still crime , yes itself is also significant in terms of motivation from our side and where motivation is precisely from the side of the enemy because they do n’t have any special victories at all, they are literally happy if they get some er rob or whoop but how long have they been trying er- e buy the territory, nothing happens in them , nothing comes out, but losses in they are just crazy. by the way, there are a lot of them. yesterday, i talked to the soldiers on the front line and in some places of the cities, and we understand that they are afraid that they will be shot by

their own people behind them, if they fall somewhere or turn back, for sure, serhii, let's talk a little about life civilians, and in particular in the occupied territories of luhansk region , 11,000 subscribers were left without gas due to the fact that there was an explosion on the main gas pipeline in the occupied luhansk region. of course, we cannot be happy because our people who are still there are suffering remained on the other side, what happened? and maybe what changes does it bring to the situation in general on the territory of luhansk region? well, i think that after all, they will be able to restore and repair there in a day or two, but uh, you know, this speaks first of all of the attitude of the occupying authorities to the general local residents and the infrastructure as a whole, no one maintains it, no one cares about it, they gave gas and they were very happy that they gave the sichan slogan, but there were explosions in

private houses and in apartment buildings, because no one cares about the infrastructure not examined uh, they gave electricity uh, to some houses, not all. but again, no one restored the substations, so we can now imagine 15-17 degrees of frost. all people who have the opportunity will connect electric heating devices, everything will start to burn . and people are real well, if they are already heating apartments in nine-story buildings with firewood, then this speaks precisely about the attitude of the occupiers to people in general. well, also about the quality of the infrastructure that remained in the occupied territory of luhansk region and how luhansk region is now connected with the occupied donetsk region and of course with the russian federation, what about the railway tracks, what about the roads, can they calmly push their equipment and personnel there, and the bc situation is such

that the partisan movement is working in the luhansk region, and literally recently it was blown up railway tracks, which stopped for a certain time just the transfer of personnel and ammunition, by the way, with ammunition, they are generally uh-uh already scared, they don't really collect them in warehouses because uh-uh, a few in recent weeks, not only for 2-3 days, but for several weeks in a row, something is constantly exploding in them, for some reason, that's why they have already searched for such a huge queue near luhansk and from trucks from bc, and they are already sending two or three trucks closer to the front and they are already reloading into military trucks there. that is, we are complicating the logistics. this is all hampering the transportation of bc. well, this one, of course, is

certainly beneficial to our military, sergey. well, you also reported in a telegram to yourself that the russian invaders have increased checks on the local population in starobilsk in the luhansk oblast in connection with the help of the local population with the armed forces of ukraine. what are these checks ? and one more message that local financial institutions in the occupied territories require the passports of the russian federation from the local population in order to serve these institutions. tell us about it. i also ask that regarding inspections, they generally close some settlements for entry and exit, and conduct thorough inspections . 10-15 people are free local people who they didn't like somewhere, for some reason they can take them and take them to luhansk, then the repressive uh-uh machine is already connected there and they

can just go around torturing people there in order to find out who exactly is one of them there somewhere he helped someone uh, there are examples when uh, he was in a drunken state, they were simply shot by locals right under houses or somewhere near shops, and there are such cases, uh, a lot of roadblocks appeared in them inside the occupied luhansk region , and they are thus trying or to intercept deserters who still sometimes manage to escape to the front, or er, they hand out hangings to the er man, because no one messes with them there, they just give them to everyone. so whoever they see, the men are simply sent to the front with with some kind of minimal preparation, and with regard to russian passports, and with regard to passports, well, this process has not stopped, eh, it

goes on constantly, and precisely because for them, as soon as they issue someone a russian passport, then they if it is a man, then they immediately on the second document is just a summons regarding financial institutions, so i can say that a lot of facts have already been recorded when eh and by the way this is also a certain sign eh when they force financial eh various institutions to pay taxes not to the so-called lpr but to russia in general , somewhere there or in tula or there. well, i don't know if you are a national point, but it is the russian ones, and this says again that they understand in principle that they are losing the region, the region will no longer be under their control in the near future. control and they they are trying in this way to simply exclude finances from the region. thank you serhiy , i think the head of the luhansk regional military administration joined us on the air

. mr. vladislav, we congratulate you glory to ukraine from the russians, these are airstrikes, the work of the rsv, tanks, mortars, artillery, all this in the general staff compound, we saw all this, and as they say, no illusions, no one was interested and the fact that the truce announced by putin did not work even on our partners, that is, the whole world, which allegedly had already begun to tire of the war, did not pay attention to this story and did not himself begin to put us at the negotiating table with putin, vladislav, what does the situation look like now with from a purely military point of view, didn't putin ask for a truce in order to rest a little, since his troops are actually torn apart by the patriots, as they say, and

there is no time to organize accordingly in the russian federation, this is an absolutely valid remark, because these days it is happening movement during the deployment of the personnel of the armed forces of the russian federation from those regions where they recently passed the stage of combat coordination and combat training eh, we heard with you information about the detonation of equipment and equipment of railway eh tracks in the trans-urals eh, we see how many echelons over the past few days, the belarusian railway has taken over, so as the enemy's armored vehicles and personnel are being moved, the russian troops are being concentrated in different parts of the route in order for this to happen more or less safe conditions and the russian army had the same time, respectively, the same time and tried to write out the same vladimir putin announcing a truce, but that the whole world

knows that they will cease fire from the army to the army was announced during these almost 9 years out of 4 dozen and every time the russian - the occupying army measured this very thing, violated the audacious, insidious , mean-spirited attacks on the ukrainian defense forces, which at one time were conducting an anti-terrorist operation during the operation of the joint forces, now during a full-scale attack, what kind of truce can we talk about an enemy who always despises any agreements made with him, that is why the war continues and the introduction of the ukrainian general staff, we saw that there are both air strikes and artillery strikes, and not only the mortar artillery created there works, but also the rocket salvo fire system, er, it is with their help that the russians inflict damage as a result of these injuries, of course, on this tract of special units, well, as a result of these artillery injuries, the peaceful inhabitants of our country suffer from them, so he continues to

negotiate with putin. there is nothing for it. russian forces from the territory of ukraine, the border of the year 91, everything else - it's useless vladyslav well , after the liberation of kherson and the right bank of the dnipro from the russian occupiers, well, the main thing is that all such hostilities are now taking place in the donetsk and luhansk direction to donetsk luhansk region bakhmut soledar criminal what do you think about it what is happening and happened during these festive christmas days, bakhmut, the winemaker and criminal, tell me about it, please. well, the fact is that on this part of the front, then the treasure continues to implement the same plan of trying to get out on the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions, and they carry out this whole process gradually according to the step-bester principle, and if the assault units of the private military company wagner act in this way,

if it is possible to advance little by little, they started the administrator on the bakhmut rock, for example, the closer he is to the solidar, then accordingly on this part of the front, the russians are involved in a greater number of processes, because they have at least some success here, accordingly, the ukrainian general staff promptly responds to those threats and challenges that taking place in the solidar area with the action of the appropriate reserve in order to stabilize the situation, will there be further intensification of hostilities in this area of ​​attempts so obviously, because the weather conditions contribute to the fact that it is possible to use reversible equipment more actively. well, artillery, even despite certain difficulties connected with projectile hunger , the russian army is actively using something to it, it is also actively using attack aircraft, helicopters, and airplanes, respectively, the profile of combat operations continue and we must understand that putin

's army has not been deprived of its preliminary tests, just like the ukrainian defense forces will continue to defend because this is our land, we must protect it and then liberate it from the russian invaders, and that's how it will be, but eh does not even ask the victory of the ukrainian army question at what cost will we get it ? on the eve of the new year, the minister of defense of ukraine announced that the russians will begin a new wave of mobilization right after christmas, there was even talk about the fifth the sixth of january, then it seems that this date was moved to january 15, and the russians are planning to mobilize up to half a million people, what time is it realistic in general? well, to clothe, feed and provide not only small arms, but at least some kind of heavy equipment for half a million russians. does russia have the capabilities for this technical and how much time, in principle, is needed to prepare such a large number

of the civilian population for military service, to at least somehow coordinate these new units, i am asking you, we have a modern example when the russian the occupying army brought to its lav about 300,000 of the same russian bulls, why is this about it? it lasted for three months. is it within the framework of the prize directly or mobilization and then another? well, for two or three months . they were turned, who turned into good russians, that is, they became two hundred and 300, and the rest of the people are now completing the formation of combat and you who are going to use combat, so the processes are related to the mobilization of half a million in the russian language what are these two or three months? well, then the combat phase, what will be the cause of the confusion to provide for these officials of the russian federation? the question is very rhetorical and

strange to me. yes, there is a corresponding communication. russian commissars are trying to buy military uniforms, well, in fact, in many countries of the world, but how it will actually happen is not known, because the process of creating new units is too serious, it is a narrow, specialized specialist, and accordingly, the equipment of the equipment is the conditions accommodation we all know that the russian educational base is capable of simultaneously applying only about 110 maximum 120,000 wild vaccinations, why prepare such stronger vaccinations? there are many people. well, okay, they will wear something there, they will be given some food with them, and a kalash, and the equipment on which they have to drive in to maybe it really had the character of such a large-scale mood where they will take it because, according to different estimates, they lost a lot in one way or another, the director of the military

staff of the european union, admiral blazhen, notes that they lost 60% of tanks, and this is not to mention everything else well, it is unlikely that anyone will supply them with tanks, as for example they are already supplying ukraine with light ones, so far korea is possible and i don’t know what their prospects are here, their prospects are so-so, because there are about 17,000 tanks in the russian federation. but we understand that the technical condition of this equipment is so-so, and if we hear the figure 60% of russian tanks were destroyed as part of this news, the special forces are talking about combat-capable equipment . the equipment needs very careful maintenance and training so that it has the ability to perform some tasks. well, besides, this equipment will be produced in the distant 70s or 60s

of the last century, the russians have a very serious problem in terms of the military technical support of those female shmobikes, but tone in hand, because the enemy must be beaten, destroyed, driven from the territory of our land, we have no other way, and briefly about the situation in belarus. how do you assess the situation in belarus? it came again, literally one and a half thousand russian servicemen came in two days half a minute plus armed equipment plus equipment for logistics russians continue to accumulate their resources on the territory of the republic of belarus but as of now there are no threats from belarus because there is no strike group that would create a problem for us thank you vladyslav seleznyov military expert spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 14 to 17 years, and now there is a national minute of silence for all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war
