, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 590 orks with the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost 380 tanks in ukraine 6 47 armored combat vehicles cars 2069 artillery systems 434 rocket systems of salvo fire 217 air defense means 285 airplanes 275 helicopters 4809 units of automobile equipment 16 ships boats 723 cruise missiles in 1856 drones 183 units of special equipment about how the invaders are storming bakhmut and soledar and the ukrainian army deters this offensive and about how russia is preparing a new massive missile attack on ukraine, we will talk over the next hour with us, a military expert, colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, petro chernyk mr. colonel good day to you

good health thank you for joining our broadcast glory to ukraine glory to the heroes so the hottest points on the eastern front are bakhmut and soledar yesterday in the annual rather than evening address of the president of ukraine to the ukrainians he spoke about how the situation on the eastern front is developing, right near bakhmut and soledar , colonel-general oleksandr syrsky made a trip to the front line and determined further actions to strengthen our defense, we will hear and see what the supreme said commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, heavy fighting continues in luhansk region, donetsk region, for everyone, it is a hot spot in these areas. it is well known . bakhmut is holding on despite everything. and although most

of the place has been destroyed by russian strikes , our soldiers are fighting back against the constant attempts of russian offensives. the soldiers are holding on, even though there is even more destruction and very hard, the syrian general went around the troops defending themselves on the approaches to bahamuda and soledarov. instead, he organized the steps necessary to strengthen our defense, in particular when throwing additional units and increasing fire on the occupiers. so, mr. colonel, let's start by analyzing the situation that is developing around bakhmut and soledar. please tell me why the russians continue to fight hard for these two cities and not really his task they can't take it before the new year, and it's actually a very serious house of slaps, but they really can't retreat either, and

the second point is not the first time it's been talked about that this war is 95%. is an artillery war, and of course we didn’t have to bring the trucks to the front -line guns, the necessary working railway canvas and there is a serious debalt junction, let’s remind you what hard battles were fought for it, so that in the distant year 2015, the hymers work at a distance of 84 km from bakhmut to debaltsevo, all of our 42 km , here they are and they are doing everything possible to push back our firing lines, unsuccessfully so far, since the conditional first of august, in my opinion, that is when serious operational pressure began on bakhmut and on the friend's soledar the army of the world did not manage to advance at least 15 km, well, these are more than modest indicators of the dnr and that is why they are raging, including, in my opinion, they will throw and throw fresh and fresh razors into battle until we grind them down, war is an incredibly difficult and complex phenomenon, military

experts they say that, mr. colonel bakhmut, this is such a bridgehead for the ukrainian army, from which the armed forces of ukraine grind these numerous units, numerous army units that enter from the territory of russia, well, accordingly, they go to bakhmut and soledar, according to you, what is the reason that the russians have been unable to take these two cities for so long, that is, it is clear that with the victory of the ukrainian army, there may be other reasons. the people of russia are not sufficiently prepared, what is the reason why, why exactly? why are the ukrainian positions held for so long, and why are the russians warm to this? well, in fact, all of the things you mentioned together, if at all strategic brainstorming over this situation, then this whole war

for the russians, it didn’t work out and it won’t work out. and with regard to bahmut directly, i really like historical parallels, so for me it’s the ukrainian verdun of 1916. let’s remember that there the germans and the french also prayed to each other within ten months. in general, the battle ended with a zero result, but there a very serious nuance took place, the germans undermined their strategic potential and it seems to me that the same thing is happening in the bakhmut and soldava directions , the high tactical skill of us ukrainians is simply multiplied for a colossal strong spirit and tactical skill, let's not forget that high-quality weapons are also of little importance because, let's say , in terms of a whole settlement, well, the russians are many times behind us. and in the end it is nothing but the continuation of the policy

by violent methods, carlson clauser claimed that because it will last for some time, but we know that in the last package of military aid, a colossal i would have appeared for the first time mentioned about non-payment in the form of m2 bradley and a whole series of other heavy armored vehicles, we hope that they will reach us as soon as possible and help to change the situation at this point of the front . remember that they are in the middle of a really brilliant operation, no one saw the kharkiv operation, but it became the law of the modern introduction of war, it is actually a brilliant and original operation and there is not the slightest doubt that the third brilliant the ukrainian operation will take place as a matter of course. and where and at what point? well, let's leave it to our military

of the highest level, who i guarantee will calculate all possible scenarios, because as napoleon once claimed, because for the first war, the art of war is such a science and in which it is given equally everything that is carefully prepared and carefully calculated, and in this part we are again an order of magnitude superior to our opponent, unfortunately, we cannot cancel the number of them, there are an incredible number of them, and to the great regret of putin exaggerates, they are dying and will continue to die then the speaker of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy cherevaty, said that during the previous day, the enemy had fired 106 attacks on letari in the city, and there had been 22 combat clashes . well, according to him, the frosty weather will make it possible to use heavy equipment, tanks, bmps, armored personnel carriers, so counteroffensive actions will be possible, which side he will prepare better will prepare his equipment for the winter stage of operation will prepare the personnel make better

tactical plans and will have an advantage mr. colonel, there is a lot of talk about possible counteroffensive actions not only near bakhmut and near soledar, but also, accordingly, in the south, in particular, in zaporizhzhia, about what exactly frosty weather is expected in ukraine and will be the start of an offensive from both sides, well, at least one side and the other side are going to advance in this according to your situation, is it possible to predict an aggravation of the situation in the second half of january, at least on two fronts in the east and south? yes, it can be anything, war is an incredibly dynamic phenomenon, but i completely share the opinion of my colleague who claims that the frost will still rather be in our favor. by the way, it is a unique historical feature that general moroz, having always considered the russian troops as an ally in their historical context, starting from

the napoleonic war and ending with the huge battle of stalingrad, in terms of logistics and the most important qualities of weapons, we are clearly superior to our enemy and indeed, as the soil hardens and frosts of at least -10° are required, heavy equipment such as armored personnel carrier tanks and heavy artillery will be able to move through the soil and we will be able to disperse our strikes and where they will happen again a second time, let this information remain in the dark and this is the best working thesis volunteer alyona shevtsova yesterday evening, returning from the front, recorded a video about the situation that is developing in soledar, she says the situation is difficult , our soldiers are holding on to their enemies he doesn't take the wounded away he finishes let's see alyona shevtsova a lot and the guys told us we

were carrying he was wounded they took them away they told us what the russians are like, colonel, about how the russians are we have already heard this information and evidence that the representatives of the wagner communist party are quite actively practicing such a story, and when we talk about bakhmut or soledar , we are talking about the fact that this is actually an internal struggle between the wagnerites or at least prigozhina against gerasimov and shoigu, is it possible now talk about the fact that the situation in bakhmut and soledar and from the side that it is the result of these skirmishes and military cadres are trying to prove to these mercenaries that they are wrong in this long-term public conflict

well, such an opinion has the right to life, but for us it is not in any way, what is the way to cook it, of course, the more deadly it is between these spiders, the death dance in a jar , the better for us, but the russians never respected their servicemen and never valued his life let's remind them, their old military officer advised the technical staff to save them. and women soldiers are even more offensive. moreover, the information that it seems that even the shootings have already started there has already slipped through. i don't know how reliable it is, but it's one more time underlines the classic attitude of the russian high command towards its own personnel, and if such things as divisions within them continue to grow, then of course this cannot help but please us, because the more the grave of this occupier in our black lands, the better for us the historical they have practice. let me remind you that in the second world war, the soviet union shot more than 157,000 of

its own members, while the germans shot 7,800 and the british only 40 people, so that we understand how unprincipled, bad and despicable the enemy is but there is actually a good sign that with such an approach it will be easier for us to grind this colossal human potential and we will definitely grind it to a breaking point, but unfortunately, time and time again, and the price that we also have to pay does not happen so that one side incurs endless losses, and in the second there is none. unfortunately, we pay a colossal price for our true independence. especially when the mobilization resources of the russians are much larger, it is clear that the country has the largest number of people, and we know that this year they intend to increase the size of the russian army up to 1.5 million people last august they increased the army

to one million 105 10 000 and actually from the first of january, we remember that they have such a potential since february 24 - this 1 million people was according to you or is it necessary here we have to compare to what russia is doing from the point of view of mobilization and from the point of view of quantity or numbers and let's say we do mathematics, multiply by some arbitrary number and understand that our mobilization reserve there should be like this and in the regions everything after all, there must be preparation people to the possible conscription or to the possible mobilization of the ukrainian army to it. i fully trust our general staff and i am sure that all calculations for mobilization have been made in the ukrainian state and they are implemented exclusively in strict accordance with the legislation. and it is not worth it for us to look back at our enemy

in principle and essentially, the only thing we should think about is that our western partners provide us with as many modern weapons as possible, which will help grind this giant steel and human sausage. for a very long time, but it is actually finite, and despite the fact that their mobilization resources are quite large, this is neither the second world war nor the first world war, when the tsarist empire and the soviet union, especially stalin, had an almost infinite human resource, yes, this resource is large, but it is subject to disposal, but obviously, sir colonel, in order for this mobilization resource to be used by the russian federation, they still need to admit that this is not a special military operation, i.e. not temporary measures like them they submit it according to normalization, they consider the situation in ukraine in quotation marks, and yet it is a full-fledged war, when they say that it is a full-fledged war, then it is absolutely clear that

they can increase the mobilization resources there by 5 or 10 million, that's right. how do they think what they are saying, why don't they say it, and so on, they are occupiers and not just occupiers, but they are occupiers with a barbaric face and even a large general-jure power patent of his time asserted the command from the third army on to the european tv of the us army that the russians, these ojsc are barbarians who do not respect their own or other people's lives and are chronically ill with alcoholism. well, what should we expect from them, apart from a huge number of burials in our chernozems, there is no other philosophy of victory in this war as this is a colossal human place. well, i can't see another formula for success, and the only thing we have to calculate is the ratio of all our rocket bombardment and artillery strikes with machine gun

mowing in relation to their destruction. i do not have and do not accept philosophy, the representative of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, vadym skibytskyi, says that according to the gur in russia, they plan to call up 500,000 russians as part of a new wave of mobilization, they said that it could start as early as january 5th, and we know that the russians will transfer these mobilized people in order to conduct an offensive in the donetsk and kharkiv regions, possibly zaporizhzhia, and as vadym skibytskyi says, they will also defend the kherson region and the crimea - this is the number of people they will need for such a task, the gur says that russia is preparing an offensive operation in the spring . a few days ago, in an interview with abc news, general budanov said that the ukrainians are also preparing an offensive operation in the spring. according to him, the offensive

will take place throughout the territory of ukraine from crimea to donbas, here budanov's big offensive in the spring is it an information-psychological special operation, or is it still eh? if this is not true , then why is general bohdanov talking about it publicly and announcing it? and why hasn't anyone canceled the information-psychological operations? informational and psychological warfare is just as important a tool in influencing the enemy as a classic hot war, this is only evidence that we ukrainians are finally aware of the strategic importance of our armed forces and we have finally learned to fight not only on the field, but here we have everything at the mercy of fate quite good, and in the media space , let's remember 5-7 years ago how many problems we had, and with the formulation of the so -called so-called anti-terrorist operation

, the moment has come when we know how and can we must put pressure on the enemy, and i will remind you that there is some kind of universal and phenomenon that was given by the same people who have their own specific fears, who have their own specific complexes, and it is necessary to put pressure on them, because the more fear the enemy has, the more mistakes there will be of the most diverse scale and content and of course this will help us knock them out of our territory skibiski says that a lot will depend now on how ukraine receives supplies of western ammunition and weapons for equipping the new reserve units that ukraine is preparing as if as of january 9, mr. colonel, you described us as having been knocked out, mr. colonel, you can hear me right, right? i can hear me, the representative of the main directorate of intelligence,

vadym skibytsky, says that everything will depend on the supplies that ukraine receives from the west, in particular, western ammunition and weapons for equipping new reserve units that ukraine is preparing how would you, colonel , characterize these deliveries and, in general, the receipt of this military aid as of january 9, 2023, well, for me, the latest aid package of almost 3 billion dollars is actually very demonstrative and serious, there appeared very powerful and critically needed infantry fighting vehicles, primarily referring to the m2 bradley and also quite a few more. you should also pay attention to them almost 100 m113 vehicles, more than 130 armored hummer vehicles and so -called mine countermeasures vehicles of defense, they are also in the range of 50 heavy armored koguar vehicles. if you put it all together, it turns out to be

more than 300 vehicles. let me remind you that the standard battalion tactical group provides for its armed forces in the range of 30-33 armored vehicles, i mean armored personnel carriers or bmps, it all depends on specifications of hostilities, such a huge amount of armored vehicles in one questionnaire can provide full-fledged three mechanized brigades, and we remember that a machine like brady is a very good machine that can destroy bmp-2 with its fire at a distance of up to 2.5 thousand meters millimeter gun and also has on board up to seven anti-tank missiles of the podjm 71 toua class is nothing more than the forerunner of really heavy armored vehicles, i mean abrams and leopards, i am 100% sure that this equipment will definitely appear in our service a this is already a technique

which changes the rules of the game and this is the cat's technique that can really affect the real turning point in this war. spiegel reports that germany is transferring 40 marder infantry fighting vehicles to ukraine from the reserves of its army. earlier , greece also announced that it was ready to provide its soldiers. to keep er to get another 700 er armored vehicles in total er how much according to you well, it is clear that the zaluzhny is talking about how much is needed for victory , how many tanks are needed, how many armored vehicles are needed, and how many do we need equipment in order to ensure the offensive and to reach the front line on august 24, 1991

well, of course, there is not much equipment. the more the better, in general, such a huge flow, which now consists of ukraine, is unprecedented since the time of the second lens. i apologize to the first of the second world war war, nothing like that has happened since that time, uz ukraine has undergone such a pumping of weapons that it is really hard to imagine for me in the month of april, the arrival of hymers seemed like a fantasy in august, the arrival of us the iriski system looked fantastic. and back in october, i myself personally discussed that the patriots by the new year, well, it is very, very unlikely. and this all happened, and let me remind you that in terms of stocks of fgm 148 javelin, we are the second country without after the manufacturer after the usa, and here we are in the last parquet there are state-of-the-art m19 paladin artillery installations, yes, and according to this indicator, we come in second place in the world, this is actually something unprecedented and

emphasizes the second technique. war, well, i have to remind you that the equipment needs maintenance and, unfortunately, we also have some losses from our side, but the last bucharest, the same nato, is nothing more than a restart of the gigantic military-industrial complex of the nato countries, and primarily in the usa, and plus the smell of money appeared i am 100% sure that all manufacturers who are interested in large contracts will do everything possible to ensure that ukraine receives as many state-of-the-art weapons as possible, and this process is already inevitable. kyiv asked tbilisi to return the weapons transferred to it in 2008 complexes of letters, but the georgian authorities refused to notify the temporary charge d' affaires of ukraine in georgia andrii kasyanov, well , the position of the georgians was predicted in principle, and nothing unique happened, knowing about the

position of the current official authorities of georgia, but on the eve of the christmas holidays , the rating of the world's army was made public, we know that a year ago we were in the 22nd position, now we are in the 15th position, russia was and remains in the second position, the growth of our positions is absolutely clear and how can you explain, colonel, how can you explain that russia, despite everything , was and remains in the second position in the ranking of the strongest armies in the world? i would say maybe not. i did not give the potential, it is also taken into account in the calculation of

the total power of the armed forces. there was and remains a difficult situation on the northern front of ukraine. the ministry of defense and the armed forces of ukraine spoke about the fact that the northern border is reliably protected from belarusian and russian invaders, the spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, oleksandr shtopono , reported in the morning briefing about the situation in the republic of belarus, where old russian military equipment is arriving for maintenance involving the belarusian military, we will hear and see oleksandr shtukuna, according to the available information, a significant amount of weapons and military equipment is arriving for the training of personnel of the enemy to the republic of belarus from the

russian federation has been removed from long-term storage and needs maintenance. it is also known that belarusian military personnel are involved in the work on this equipment. mr. colonel, explain why the russians are hauling old equipment to belarus. well, what other equipment is left for them to haul new equipment they do not fully produce maybe they have the most important tank of their husband in the t-72 in various modifications, so the cat line produced these tanks degraded that in 1998 the only capability they really have to produce modern equipment is t-90 tanks, but they cannot produce it in such a quantity that they would actually need in the hall. if we talk about tanks, then the destruction of more than 3,000 tanks in ukraine in 10 months is something phenomenal and historical that is difficult to comprehend for the entire afghan war, the soviet union lost within 140 seven machines. that is, it is not

proportional and they have no other options for removing old equipment, bringing it to a more or less certain appearance, and i must emphasize that everything there is done by the method of cannibalism, they take conditionally 3-4 as there there are also two more, they remove the corners and mechanisms from them and make one more or less combat-capable machine, or at least such a combat potential to really hit so far i don’t see any signs of such 40 a thousandth corps is needed 45,000 corps requires 825 tanks 2.5 thousand about him cars and at least 900 artillery tables, so far they do not have such a striking potential, but i also believe that the ukrainian mannerheim line has already been built there, if at the beginning of this war they were not able to really seriously prepare high-quality forces to storm kiev, what they are counting on me now is very difficult for me to say, but at the same time we remember the saying of the thinker cicero, who said that the closer the collapse of the empire

, the crazier their actions can be , that is, an act of classic suicide in a completely irrational way, maybe, mr. colonel, they are e- e are counting on aviation, because the ministry of defense of the republic of russia and the republic of belarus says that from january 16 to february 1, joint russian-belarusian aviation exercises will be held. during the exercises, all airfields will be used and training grounds of the air force and the pto troops of the armed forces of belarus well, we know that russian planes are based on the territory of the republic of belarus. we remember that in february and march, the planes that took off from the airfields in belarus were subjected to missile strikes and air strikes from the territory of belarus. or from the airspace of the belarusians, because chernihiv is it possible to repeat such a scenario when russian planes will take off from
