becomes a continuation of the attack on bakhmut, but i would like to ask you, first of all, as a military historian, because some people are starting to compare the situation under bakhmut with beasts, where for 10 months there were such long disputes on the front line on the part of france and germany there. do you have such analogies, can you still compare it, or how exactly do you evaluate the combat operations under bakhmut and under soledar through the historical prism, this is exactly the best comparison, the battle of verdun, when the german army stormed for 10 months verdun tried to break through the french front and those who failed to do so suffered colossal losses. this is exactly what we see in principle from bachmouth. the battles for this city have been going on for more than six months, and the russians are persistently storming it. colossal forces were acting, colossal resources were thrown into the capture of this

city even during this time. bakhmut has already lost its strategic importance there, which it had in the summer, that is, now if they capture it , they will not get anything of such a great result. that is, you will stick to them further, our front will not disintegrate and no major catastrophe will happen. but nevertheless , they continue to persistently storm it and losing there every day a large number of people and equipment, that is, let's make a wonderful comparison, we have to ask that after the battle of verdun, germany was not able to manage and compensate the losses it suffered there, well, bohdan, let's hope that the losses of russia, which they will suffer under bakhmut, will also be significant enough to increase the strength of the russian military machine panorama now just outside the gate is trying to compensate for the loss of manpower by announcing or preparing for a new mobilization there, which the main

directorate of intelligence and the same skibitsky say about 500,000 and in fact everything will depend on the equipment of these mobilized and the main thing is what skibitsky says the main actions will take place over the next six to seven months, and this may just mean the downfall of putin if the enemy cannot achieve any success there on the battlefield, but on the other hand, there is another thesis, which is that right now, the enemy is starting to consider this concept of a 2:0 holy war, where the battle for russia has such a common cause that you can ignore losses and other things , and the longer the war continues, the further putin is in power. as you can see, she says that this package is working of the russian military leadership regarding the immediate stages of the war, that is, i would not have any illusions

about the fact that russia does not draw conclusions from those events, what is happening. for example, we can see if we compare the first wave of mobilization in them when the first ones were mobilized, they sent the untrained to the equipped to the front, they suffered quite large losses, now already in russia. well , the mobilization process is also ongoing, it will continue, we must prepare for the fact that it will continue continuously for as long as the war lasts, so now they are no longer they send mobs of these so-called untrained people to the front, they give an opportunity to somehow prepare, and inside. on training grounds inside russia under the leadership of some specialist instructors, it is clear that the level of their training is lower than that of the armed forces of ukraine, because we are also constantly forming new units, new brigades, new battalions, but nevertheless, the russians have learned certain lessons, and we must understand that

the putin regime will not endure a military defeat and, in principle, the legitimacy of the regime itself putin, in the eyes of the russians, it depends on how the war in ukraine will develop, and it must be understood that they have made, for example, four captures, well, we are occupied at the beginning of the region, some of them partially there, kherson zaporozhye to donetsk and luhansk, they officially added crimea to russia, officially added to their constitution, accordingly , any loss of these territories will be considered a defeat for russia. the fact that putin's regime is not, in principle, determined to defeat, because it will not tolerate it, and one must be prepared for the fact that they will constantly throw these mobilized soldiers into the crucible of war in new waves.

there, they will try to teach better to equip, because in principle they are not stupid , they understand that the mobilization resource ends before the business runs out, and even more so, seeing that we are constantly supplied with modern weapons and modern ammunition and that we dispose of them quite successfully, we disposed of almost the entire personnel army that invaded ukraine in 24 february, but now they have already begun the gilding of these units from the mobilized ones, and we will continue to do it, but it has been interrupted. and do you have a historian who understands how this war with russia can or should end, so we say about the fact that we should leave at the border in 1991 , but actually this is also the intermediate stages of this war, because in any case, no one will sign any new yalta agreement with the putin regime if, in fact, this clique remains with the authorities and the russian

federation will continue to pose such a serious terrorist threat that it poses uh now exactly how should the war end in what format then we must understand that if we go to the border in 1991, this will not mean at all that the war will automatically will end because it will continue because the russians will tell us that we are occupied by four regions plus crimea, respectively, the holy war for the liberation of our lands, that is, the war may end here, there are several scenarios, all of them are hypothetical, starting with the fact that the putin regime is there, like stalin, something will happen to him he is passing away, accordingly, some of his successors will come, they will want to make peace, or the second option there is the collapse of russia, about which many people generally talk about it. the map of the potential disintegration of russia and many people like this scenario very much and in principle

it can be considered that it would really like to see this happen, we must understand that russia even in any case will we sign a peace treaty with it or will it disintegrate, but sooner or later this russian threat it won't go anywhere and it will recover again sooner or later in 10-20-30 years, even in the conditional disintegration of russia there, it will lead to a bloody civil war there, then before any recovery there will be some gathering of lands whether it's the russian empire or whether it's a follower of the soviet union, also a common past and what their ideological scumbag is. well, the next stage is when they somehow unite again and restore the economy there. this is the appearance of a strong leader in russia. this is generally traditional and this should be the case. we are ready for revanchism without fail and all the big ones who are not part of the empire and who are defeated, they are revanchists who appear there without fail. so it may

happen that in 20-30-40 years war will come to our land again, therefore in our in this case, it is necessary to disperse, well, to cause such a devastating defeat so that this interval, when they recover again and come to us again, so that this interval is as long as possible. military serviceman and candidates of historical sciences, these were the main military results of this day, and more international and economic news later in my colleagues on the big broadcast thank you to the guests of his program, you know i am today i even wrote out for myself everything that was discussed about the interception that the security service of ukraine was able to intercept the conversations of the russians who rioted and committed atrocities in

kharkiv oblast. when was kharkiv oblast still occupied and when did it begin? we remember it began in the fall. the balaklia breakthrough was called in different ways there, and it was called the kupyanska balaklia counteroffensive operation , it has different names, in fact, today in the terminology it is military well, but we know what we are talking about, the counteroffensive in kharkiv oblast well and so, er, they intercepted the conversation of er, two russians. was it him calling home, well, in any case, the one who spoke was the occupier who was in the territory of kharkiv region, and you know these conversations, they are scary, in fact , they are. well, it's like from movies about nazis, but they need to be voiced, and the security service of ukraine does a good job of voicing them. well, maybe they should be read by everyone, someone is sensitive, even though we are all sensitive now, everyone is vulnerable, everyone is stressed, but so that no one would say that, well, this is how it happened, it was just some misunderstanding it's just like that somehow there are no politicians there, they are people who have not lowered themselves to the level of animals, to the level of some underground

devils, and behaved like they do not belong to people, i will only briefly quote what the security service of ukraine made available to us, well , in ukrainian, when we handed over liman, we cut everyone there, he says a russian was raped , butchered there, they shot civilians in liman, hungarian, in the author, everyone just went and shot women, young people were shot, and boys were taken with them, well, there are some more details, i don’t want to talk about them talk about how is it to just call women that? well, how to call it? well, first of all, let's talk. if there is time, because there is actually a continuation of this story. and now about what happened outside ukraine, the world about ukraine. yuri fizer is ready. evening good evening to you vasyl good evening to everyone who joined the world about ukraine today a little late but it is definitely here so today it's about british tanks for

ukraine hungary praises russia again well, the protests in brazil about this and other things are over moment in the world column about ukraine, i don't rule it out , but i can't promise either, so nato secretary general yenstoneberg said about the possibility of sending heavy tanks from the member countries of the north atlantic alliance to ukraine in an interview with the swedish newspaper svenska da glabet, he once again said that the russian the war in ukraine may be long and will end. it may also be at the negotiating table, and since their outcome , says ian stoltenberg, will depend on the situation of the battle, tanks may be needed in ukraine. well, next is a quote from the general secretary, if we want ukraine to remain independent, we must support it with weapons well, the words of insas toltenberg

fell on the ears of some leaders of some european countries, it would be good great britain is considering the possibility of sending 10 of its main battle tanks challenger 2 to ukraine this was reported by journalists of the sky news channel citing a reliable source, according to published information, he has been talking about this for several weeks, however , until the decision was made by the country's prime minister, rishiysunok, in the ministry of defense great britain did not confirm this news, but also and what is also very positive for us, they did not deny it, so we are looking forward to this decision . this was said today by the official representative of the bundes government of steffenhaber-strat, according to him, berlin only recently reported that

marder infantry fighting vehicles had arrived to the armed forces of ukraine, so this is now and the current chancellor olaf scholz's government is in charge, everything else will be discussed when there is an urgent need for this, added mr. haber, a fine, but i would like to remind you that during the past week, some german politicians called on the chancellor to change his mind and give this to the kiev leopards. the european union is ready to play a leading role in the process of the post-war reconstruction of ukraine, but since there is a huge amount of work ahead, it is necessary to plan now during the briefing , the representative of the european commission, anna pisonero, said, according to her, the main thing is coordinate the efforts of all those who will participate in this reconstruction and correctly distribute the cash flows, although according to ms. pisonero, this is still a long way off, but now it is important to cover the urgent financial needs

of ukraine, hungary's decision to announce a christmas truce was the right step, the minister of foreign affairs said about it today guess from the first time which country is correct hungary petr siatom according to him only such actions can bring peace in ukraine he also said that war is bad peace is good that's why official budapest accepts everything that helps stop the fire and promote the start of peace negotiations. well, next is a quote from the head of the hungarian foreign policy department. we hope that in the future we will see this and not an escalation of hostilities . brussels, as usual, has nothing against the background of russia's aggressive war in ukraine. the european union and nato should begin to cooperate even

more closely, according to the joint statement of the president of the european commission, ursulefon derlian the president of the european council, charles michel, and the secretary general of the north atlantic alliance, jens stoltenberg, released their joint statement in brussels, in which they emphasized that due to the current security threats to the world, they are taking their partnership to a new level in order to better coordinate a joint response to geo -strategic challenges. they also once again assured ukraine of their full support , called on putin to immediately end the war in ukraine, by the way, they just announced this statement today, well, in fact, journalists got its text but tomorrow all three, the two presidents and the secretary general have to say it themselves in brussels, it makes sense for russia to remain a member of the osce, the secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in

europe helga schmidt said in an interview with the german publication divelle that in her opinion it should be to leave channels of communication with the leadership in the kremlin, because in her opinion, in the future, they will be needed especially for discussing issues related to the construction of the security architecture on the european continent, moreover, ms. schmid added that in addition, in the organization that she currently manages, there is simply no mechanism by which any member country, in particular , russia, can be excluded from the osce, well, you can understand it, there is simply no mechanism to exclude the organization for security and cooperation in europe from the membership a country that violated this security by attacking another sovereign country and does not want to leave there killing hundreds of thousands of peaceful people. i personally do not understand this, not even one

russian party of putin continues to purge its ranks and for this, the application began to be applied, and in the technical plan, the method was quite advanced. this was reported by the russian edition of the newspaper with reference to own sources in the kremlin, according to the published information, with the help of artificial intelligence, the united russians will search in their ranks for anyone who speaks negatively about the so-called special military operation for this, the activity of untrustworthy members of the party in social networks will be analyzed, that is, what they will search for, what they write there, under which posts they like and what they spread this is democracy in russian. although not in russian. well, it was hot, both literally and figuratively. the day before in brazil, in particular, in the capital of brazil, supporters of the former

president of the country, ira bovsunaru, went to mass protests and demanded a recount . votes in the elections of the head of the country that took place in october last year and in which lula and silva won, later the peaceful protest turned aggressive, people broke into the building of the country's parliament, the supreme court and even the presidential office residence and caused a lot of trouble there, the police had to use special means, while dozens of people were injured, at least 1,200 people were arrested, but today the current and former president of brazil condemned the actions of the press protesters, while president lulu dasilla promised to conduct a thorough investigation and punish all those responsible. in conclusion, if in russia they continue to smoke in inappropriate places, i will continue to talk about it, in particular, about the fires, today there was a fire in the city of kogalym, it is far away in tyumen

oblast in siberia, the fire was filmed . as you can see on the video, there is a lot of smoke, apparently somewhere down there and it was burning well. in the russian mass media, they wrote that the fire started in the dormitory of the naftovatomatika company. there are no victims. everyone who was inside the building managed to evacuate. the cause of the fire is not reported, but looking a lot of dense white smoke, in addition to all that, i personally for some reason do not believe that it was burning, a simple one-story wooden dormitory, something more like the burning of some chemicals, especially since this is a petrochemical enterprise of some kind. well, i don't know. well, what's up with that? i have everything for today in the column about ukraine. the world is just starting to prepare for tomorrow's broadcast. tomorrow, i will tell you more, but you don't switch. our broadcast will continue. there is still a lot of interesting movies, television,

port, music, education, free people have a choice, choose what you want on megogo. thank you very much, yuriy fizruva. to the republic of belarus in the years 10-11, mr. roman, i greet you. good evening. i will start first of all with this information about the tension on the border with belarus. the situation is under control, but tense.

the enemy continues to adjust its equipment. it's like this, i'll ask you, please. well, at the moment , belarus plays two functions in the planning of military operations of the general staff of the russian armed forces. mobilized, partially mobilized , transport equipment is being rushed there, passing er, undergoing training, but literally in the last weeks, a-a, they began to arrive in belarus, and parts that were located in the region of the southwestern direction for russia, that is, kharkiv, sumy, here in this er, in this the danger zone for ukraine a-and in general at the moment

there are not enough forces to carry out military operations a-and the russian forces together with the belarusian ones are not enough on the territory of belarus, but this is not the case, but we perfectly understand that the kremlin fioler ai minsk dictator they never paid attention to the factor of such victims, and this can be seen from the course of current operations in donbas conducted by the general staff of the armed forces of the russian federation, however, it is necessary to clearly understand that already now the training that you are talking about that took place a-a the construction of new military bases of fortification systems restoration of the functionality of airfields and strategic airfields on the territory of the republic of belarus, it involves strategic planning in two directions, that is, the

preparation of the offensive against ukraine and the preparation of the offensive in the western direction from those messages that have been voiced at the moment, which relate to, let's say, tactical operations to cut off the channels for the supply of weapons and ammunition to ukraine from the west, from my point of view, this direction is unlikely due to the fact that from the point of view of geographical features, to date , no neither in russia nor in belarus is it necessary and there is no equipment to carry out operations in this direction, or let's say they are unlikely, at the same time there remains a very dangerous direction - it is in the area of ​​kyiv region, chernihiv region and parts in zhytomyr oblast, this is actually what we saw in february starting on the 24th.

this is the first threat that accumulates and it is quite real. and from the point of view of the events that are currently taking place along the entire length of the russian-ukrainian front, the next thing that should be especially addressed the focus of my point of view is the threat of missile bomb strikes and drone strikes from the territory of the republic of belarus. the fact is that there are still quite a few modernized missile systems of the soviet union left on the territory of the republic of belarus, and if the territory of ukraine, and there were more of them on the territory of ukraine in comparison with all other states of central europe , these complexes were liquidated by the former union republics, then in belarus they

were preserved, some of them underwent modernization and their flight range was increased to 800 km , plus it is necessary to understand that minsk now plays a role in the supply of drones from iran, and it is kind of selfish to russia. a lot of these drones are delivered through syria to belarus, then they get to russia, so martyrs are gradually accumulating there too. therefore, we can talk about the fact that russia and belarus have been preparing for offensive operations for years, and for years the fuhrer of moscow and the self-proclaimed dictator of belarus have been preparing for offensive operations , and what needs to be done, to carefully monitor all this, to watch, including

following the exercises that are taking place and will be taking place especially aviation, and be sure to be ready for that sooner or later, but this offensive will happen, i have no doubt about it. i was just told by my colleague, the minister of foreign affairs of sweden, that he ukraine is going to provide ukraine with self-propelled artillery installations archer e or arch well, archer in the next aid package that europe in general should step up with supplies of heavy modern weapons and you know these conversations now france is handing over light tanks to britain is now thinking about giving us a challenge two plus there are these bradley fighting vehicles and many other things we will receive and will receive right at the beginning of this year it started and i have a question whether they really understood what now there will be no negotiations with putin and there are no formats for peace negotiations. therefore, we need to support ukraine as much as possible so that, after all, the events of the war will push us to peace.

please , mr. vasyl. we see and hear this activity on the eve of rammstein, because everyone wants to come to the next meeting and with certain packages. well, as previous practice says, from this package , you can hope to really hope, well, for the good half, because in some packages, there are voiced the third and fourth participant, whose position is already known in advance. and he will object to such and such steps, but here in europe, as in the world, there is also a political battle for aid to ukraine, and where he comes across, let's say, sometimes the position of

germany, sometimes other participants i will not name them. it is clear that these are unlikely options, the first is the second, and the current situation, the activation is explained by two factors . it is necessary to understand well that today the collective event solves, among other things, its own issue, including the provision of equipment, ammunition, bases, and logistics, all of this in sum indicates that we can count on constant help , but for now that it's just an ironclad let me use that word is it um enough no is it necessary yes is it going to

deliver an absolutely total victory at this stage in terms of the 2023 plans announced before christmas says no, this is not enough, it means that within the framework of rammstein, which will take place in the coming days, the issue of strategic planning for the 23rd year from the point of view of ensuring military operations and tactical operations will be discussed as a result of one or another change -and the plans and introduced wars that will be carried out by the kremlin. is this the direction of belarus ? is this the south-western direction and so on, but to think about the fact that today the west has finally accepted this issue and

in full, prematurely, if that were the case , work has already begun on the formalization, etc., of what we call the formator stein, the creation of a single center for the control of the armed forces of the allied forces, because it is obvious that in the situation that exists today, which shows absolutely clearly prolonging the war in time stretching and in time the participation of not only the allies is necessary from the point of view of providing assistance with military equipment and ammunition , including, and i emphasize on this, tanks, heavy aviation, missile systems in in the current situation, it is extremely necessary that nato and other security structures and not just at the level of aid to ukraine
