the hottest spots 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, it was near bakhmut and soledar that colonel general oleksandr syrsky made a trip to the front line and determined further actions to strengthen of our defense, we will hear and see what the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyy, has said. is it in luhansk region, donetsk region, not every hot spot in these directions is well known? bakhmut is holding on despite everything and although most of the place has been destroyed by russian strikes , our soldiers repel the constant attempts of russian offensives soledar is holding on even though

there is even more destruction there and it is very difficult. on the spot 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 with analysis of the situation around bakhmut and soledar, please tell me why the russians continue to fight hard for these two cities, they actually have tasks for the new year that they cannot do and this is actually a very serious house of slaps, but they really can’t retreat either and the second point is not for the first time it was said that this war is 95%. is an artillery war, and of course we

trucks to the front of the guns did not have the necessary working railway canvas and there is a serious debalt node, we will remind you what hard battles were fought for it so that in far back in 2015, let us all work for a distance of 84 km from bakhmut to debaltsevo , only 42 km, and they are doing everything possible to push back our firing lines, so far unsuccessfully since the conditional first of august, in my opinion, that is when the serious operational pressure on bakhmut and soledar, the second army of the world did not manage to advance at least 15 km, well, these are more than modest indicators of the dpr, 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 to a war unbelievable a difficult and complex phenomenon, military experts say that, mr. colonel bakhmut, this is such a bridgehead for the ukrainian army, from

which the armed forces of ukraine really grind these numerous troops, numerous army troops 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 unable to do this? well, in fact, all of the things you mentioned together, if we think strategically about this situation, then this whole war has not settled down for the russians and will not settle down again. with regard to bahmut directly, i really like historical parallels, so for me this is the

ukrainian narden of 1916, let's remember that there the germans and the french prayed to each other within ten months, in general, the battle ended with a zero result, but there took place a very serious nuance, the germans undermined their strategic potential and it seems to me that the same thing is happening in the direction of bakhmut and saltar , the high tactical skill of us ukrainians is simply multiplied by the colossal strong spirit and tactical skill. part of the whole thing, well, the russians are many times behind us. they give their results, how long it will last, well, it is impossible to predict war - it is the art of the possible, like politicians, and in the end, nothing but sales, this is also carlson klauser claimed: because it will take some time, but we know that in the last package

of military aid, a colossal, i would call it, armor plate appeared for the first time in the form of an m2 bradley and a whole load of other heavy armored vehicles. we hope that they will reach us as soon as possible and help break the situation at this point of the front. well, you mean that there will be a repeat of the situation as it was in kharkiv oblast , and we must remember that they are in the midst of a truly brilliant operation. no one sees the kharkiv operation, but it became the laws of the modern introduction of war, this is actually a brilliant and original operation , and there is not the slightest doubt that the third brilliant ukrainian operation will take place without fail . and where and at what point? or as napoleon once claimed, because for the first war, the art of war is

a science in which everything that is carefully prepared and carefully calculated is given , and in this part we are again in order we are outnumbering our enemy, unfortunately, we cannot cancel their number, there are an incredible number of them , and unfortunately for putin , he is exaggerating, they are dying and will continue to die. the speaker of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy cherevaty, said that in the previous day, the enemy had carried out 106 shellings , there were 22 combat incidents in the city clash 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 is better prepared, will prepare its own the equipment will be prepared for the winter stage of operation , the personnel will develop 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 it will be the beginning of an offensive from both sides, well, at least one side and the other side are going to advance in this situation according to yours, is it possible to predict an aggravation of the situation in the second half of january at least by two on the eastern and southern fronts, anything can happen, the war is an incredibly dynamic phenomenon, but i fully share the opinion of my colleague who claims that the frost will still rather be in our favor. in the 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. we need frosts of at least -10°, then heavy equipment such as tanks, armored personnel carriers and heavy artillery will be able to move through the ground and we will be able to disperse our strikes . yesterday evening, returning from the front, she recorded a video about the situation in soledar, she says the situation is difficult, our soldiers are holding on, the enemy does not take out their wounded, let's see alyona shevtsova's installation, our soldiers are also in vinnytsia villages they are holding back the enemy, there are a lot of them, and the guys told us that we were carrying two wounded, we were collecting a hundred

soldiers . about bakhmut or about soledar, we are talking about the fact that this is actually an internal struggle between the wagnerians or at least prigozhina against gerasimov and the sheik, can we now talk about what the situation is consists of bahmut and soledar, and from the point of view that this is the result of these skirmishes, and the military personnel of the military 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 does not exist in any way

which method of cooking, of course, the more deadly it will be between these spiders. the dance of death in a jar. that is the better for us, but the russians never had respect for their serviceman and never valued his life as such, let's remind them of their old military narrated the technique, save the soldiers. and there are women soldiers who offend, moreover, the information that it seems that even the shootings have already started there, i don’t know how reliable it is, but this once again emphasizes the classic attitude of the russian high command towards its own personnel and if such things as sections in of them inside will continue to grow, of course this cannot help but please us, because the more graves of this occupier in our black lands, the better historical practice for us. they have, i will remind you, in the second world war during the war of paradise, the soviet union shot more than 157,000 of its own members, while the germans shot 7,800 and the british only 40

men, 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 is a colossal human potential and we will definitely grind it to the bone, but unfortunately, time and time again, and the price that we will also have to pay does not happen so that one side bears endless losses and the other side does not. 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, we know that this year they intend to increase the number of the russian army to 1.5 million people. last august, they increased the army to a million 105 10 000 and actually from the first of january, we remember that they have such a potential since

february 24 - it was 1 million e-e people according to you or do we need to e-e compare to what russia is doing from the point of view of mobilization and with from the point of view of quantity or number, and let's say to do mathematics, multiply by some arbitrary number and understand that our mobilization reserve there should be like this and that in the regions there should still be preparation of people for a possible draft or for a possible mobilization of the ukrainian army for it. i fully trust our general staff and i am sure that all the mobilization calculations received in the ukrainian state have been made and are being implemented exclusively in strict accordance with the law. and it is not worth our while to look back at our enemy in principle and in fact, 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 still still quite large, it is not the second world war and not the first world war, when both the tsarist empire and the soviet union, especially in the person of stalin, had an almost infinite human resource, yes, this resource is large, but it is subject to utilization, but it is obvious, mr. colonel, for that this mobilization resource is meant to be used by the russian federation, they still have to admit that this is not a special military operation, that is, not temporary measures, as they present it in terms of normalization, they consider the situation in ukraine in quotation marks, and after all, it is a full-fledged war when they say that this 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. but we don't have to worry about what they think

, what they say, why they don't say it, and that's why like that, they are occupiers and not just occupiers, but they are occupiers with a barbarian face, even a great general-jur potens patent of his time asserted the command of the third army on the european tvd of the us army that russians, these ojsc are barbarians who do not respect their own or others life and chronically ill with alcoholism well, what do we have to expect from them besides the fact that there is a huge number of burials in our chernozems, there is no other philosophy victory in this war is like a winnowing this is a colossal human place well, i can't see another formula success, and the only thing we have to calculate is the ratio of all our rocket, bomb and artillery strikes with machine gun mowing with regard to their destruction. i do not have and do not accept a different philosophy. the representative

of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine, vadym skibytsky, says that according to the data of the gur in russia are planning to call up 500,000 russians as part of a new wave of mobilization, they talked about the fact 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 donetsk and kharkiv regions, maybe zaporizhzhia, and as vadym skibytsky says, they will also choose kherson region and 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 general budanov in an interview with abc news 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 the crimea to the donbas, and the

big offensive announced by budanov is in the spring. is there an information-psychological special operation , or is it still uh. if it is not so, then why is general bohdanov talking about it publicly and announcing it? and why has no one canceled information-psychological operations , information-psychological warfare, how important is the tool in impact on the enemy, just like the 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, here we have everything, to be honest , not bad, but also in the media space let's recall 5-7 years ago, how many problems we had with the so -called so-called anti-terrorist operation , so the moment has come when we know how to and can put pressure on the enemy, and i will remind you that against it there

is some universal and phenomenon there are the same people who have their own fears that have their own specific complexes and it is necessary to put pressure on them, because the more the enemy of fear has, the more mistakes of the most diverse scale and meaning will be made, and this will of course help us to knock them out from them from our territory, skibitsky says that a lot will depend now on ukraine receiving supplies of western ammunition and weapons to equip the new reserve units that ukraine is preparing. how would you describe us as of january 9, mr. colonel? i can hear the representative of the main directorate of intelligence, vadym skibytskyi, talking about the fact 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, the latest aid package for almost 3 billion dollars is actually very revealing and serious for me, there appeared very powerful and critical for us the necessary combat vehicles of the infantry primarily means m2 bradley and also quite a lot more. it is also necessary to pay attention to them almost 100 m113 vehicles, more than 130 armored hummer vehicles and so -called anti-mine defense vehicles 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 the specification of combat operations, so this is so huge the number 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 a bmp-2 at a distance of up to 2.5 thousand meters with its fire from a 25 mm cannon and also has on board anti-tank missiles of the pgm-71 class, the toua 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 equipment that changes the rules of the game and this equipment of the cat can really affect the real turning point in this war. spiegel will report that

germany is transferring 40 mordor infantry fighting vehicles from its army reserves to ukraine earlier about this readiness er not about readiness greece also declared to provide its martins in order to keep it in order to get another 700 er-e armored personnel carriers, but in general er-e how much according to you well, it’s clear what kind of alkaline 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, after all, ensure the offensive and reach the frontier on august 24, 1991 well, of course, there is not

a lot of equipment. he liza i apologize for the first world war ii nothing like that has happened since then ukraine has experienced such a pumping of weapons that is really hard for me to imagine in the month of april the arrival of hymers seemed fantastic in august the arrival of the iristi system looked fantastic and in october i i myself personally discussed that the patriots by the new year, well, it is very, very unlikely. and this all happened, and i will remind you that in terms of reserves of fgm 148 joules, we are the second country without after the manufacturer after the usa and so in the last floor has state-of-the-art m10 paladin artillery installations, yes, and according to this indicator, we are in second place in the world, this is actually something unprecedented, i will emphasize again, there is not a lot of equipment, i cannot accurately name the number of how many weapons are needed to actually turn the tide of the war,

well, i have to remind you that the equipment needs maintenance and, unfortunately, some losses we also have from our side, but the last bucharest nato summit 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 provide ukraine with as much modern weapons as possible, and this process is already inevitable. kyiv asked tbilisi to return the beech complexes transferred to it in 2008. the georgian authorities refused about this, a temporary message on the affairs of ukraine in georgia andriy kasyanov, well , the position of the georgians is predicted in principle and nothing unique has happened, i know about the position of the current official government of georgia, but on the eve of the christmas holidays

, the ranking of the world's armies was published, we know that a year ago we were in the 22nd position, now we are in the 15th position . can you explain? and how can you explain, colonel, that russia was and remains in the second position in the ranking of the strongest armies in the world? the potential is also taken into account in the calculation of the total strength of the armed forces. there was and remains a difficult situation on the northern front

of ukraine. 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. old russian military equipment is arriving, for the maintenance of which the belarusian military is involved, we will hear and see oleksandr shtukuna for the available information, a significant amount of weapons and military equipment arriving for the training of enemy personnel in the republic of belarus from the russian federation has been removed from long-term storage and needs maintenance, it is also known that the

works on this equipment, belarusian military personnel are involved mr. colonel, explain why the russians are dragging the old equipment well, what other equipment is left for them to pull a new one, they cannot fully produce it, the most important tank of their husband was the t-72 in various modifications, so the cat line produced these tanks from place to place, which in 1998 was the only capability that they really still have to produce modern equipment is the t-90 tanks, but they cannot produce it in such a quantity that they would actually need it at all. if we talk about tanks, the destruction of more than 3,000 tanks in ukraine in 10 months is something phenomenal and historical, which is difficult to comprehend for all the afghan war, the soviet union lost within 140 seven machines. that is, it is not proportional and they have no other options how to remove the old equipment, bring 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 there are i also remove two more corners and mechanisms from them and make one more or less combat-capable machine or at least have 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 thousands of vehicles and at least 900 artillery tables, so far they do not have such a striking potential, but i will remind you that the ukrainian mannerheim line has already been built there, if at the beginning of this war they were not able to storm kyiv with really serious, well-prepared and well-populated people, then what do they expect me to do now it is very difficult 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, then the act of classic suicide in a completely irrational way is possible sir colonel, they 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 take place, during the exercises all airfields and training grounds of the air force and air defense forces of the armed forces of belarus will be used well, we know that russian planes are based on the territory of the republic of belarus. we remember that in february and march, planes that took off from airfields in belarus attacked missile strikes and air strikes from the territory of belarus or from air space of belarusians in the same chernigov region, is it possible to repeat such a scenario when russian planes will take off from belarusian airfields and strike the northern cities of ukraine, madness can happen
