the communication will be better actually, first tell me what the situation is and then we will talk a little about the fact that the russians are drawing some plans and assigning these plans to us, they found some documents there, according to which we are going to select half of russia, attack them and win back the city of zhdanov this is the case. i will repeat the situation in the city at the moment. unfortunately , the connection was bad. there were more than 200 shellings on positions around the city in the past 24 hours. there were about 12 shellings in the city. the night is mostly like this. well more or less calm single flights were in the old part of the city in the central part of the city at 06:40 this is the first massive artillery shelling of the rsvrt systems in the old part of the city so far. we do not have any information on the cost of the affected civilians,

let's hope that it will remain so that no one was hurt today in general, it is really very cold, very frosty, very windy , but it is quieter or less hot in the positions, but the guys are still holding no position a little south of the city, even our guys have improved, so we hope that everything will be fine and the guys will continue to develop their success, well, for now, the situation will be like this . in order to carry out offensive actions yes, but, for example , the day before yesterday, it was very hot in us, there were more than 20 shellings during the day, and they

were mostly er system of incendiary elements, the city burned very badly they were shelled so massively, that's what we call our local government portal, well, thank god, everyone, all targets, we'll all say yes, without damage, mr. vitaly, how many civilians are left, the people of avdi, a little more than 2,000, that's already people who don't go at all and don't want to go, er, for the most part. well, we've had two weeks at the expense of evacuation, not a single person has gone, even er, there's no desire, but we're constantly having some conversations with them, well, no one wants to go, well, maybe we'll see now these frosts hit. maybe someone will volunteer a little well, so far there are no applicants, and the frosts have hit, which means that you say that maybe someone will

volunteer, which means that there are problems with sleep, uh. well, with some such benefits of civilization, which everyone is already used to, for which everyone is considered the norm, but unfortunately for us now it is there is some kind of heating, water, electricity - this is a luxury in some regions of ukraine. well, we do n't have any of this at all, but people heat themselves at the expense of a debt, or in the private sector, well, in private houses, those that are still there are mostly there more or less cylinder yes or some summer kitchens because we have a lot in our city a large old part, i.e., the private sector, a lot of it is battered, but people are still trying to somehow dust something there and all the same at the expense of stoves somehow from here and at least some at least some house in avdiivka is such that it is intact does everything have the imprint of the war on it? well, maybe there is some kind of private small house, eh. as for multi-storey

buildings, there is no assessment of the building at all. some of you have already been on the flight several times. you said that even a few people returned on the contrary after the new year or before the new year. during november and december, somewhere around 500 people returned to the city, we can see this from the lists for the distribution of basic aid, this is indeed the case and at the expense of well, why did they come, well , we don’t even ask, because we know the answers, they are the same, they traveled, they all spent all the money we came back, no one is waiting for us anywhere. normally, the parents are buried here, well, that is, the answers are so banal that i don’t know the people there, i don’t know from central

ukraine, they can be there or western ukraine at all, it will be strange to hear, but the answers are like that, well, now the residents of avdiyivka are they scattered all over ukraine, is there any largest community and you keep in touch with them? a lot of people have left abroad. a lot of people really have moved all over ukraine . well, uman, kamyansk, this is the city of dnipro. well, within the boundaries of the pokrovsk region, mirnograd, novorodovka is mostly in these communities. although there are also in ternopil region, there are also in lviv region, and in cherkasy region. and in general, what else such a peaceful life exists in avdiivka. well , i don’t know what kind of minimal there is, that is, these people

who stayed, do they go to work or how do they live? what does a normal day of a person living in avdiivka look like, or if not a day of the city, i would even say so. is it a city or a city? now it's still more of a fortress for the military and it lives by different laws , well, mostly whole people come to work, representatives who are involved in critical infrastructure, it's clear that our utility service is, well, there are a few hospitals, of course, there are the people who still work at the aldi factory, well, they work in quotation marks. of course, because the factory is not working, the factory is stopped, people are simply taking care of it so that it is not stolen, and, well , they still try to get some equipment from the avdiiv coke plant, which has some value, then they take it away. and so, for the most part, the everyday life of the city is people who came and received a humanitarian aid, came, uh,

our uh, points where we pump water, collect water and everything and warm up with firewood, coal, this, this, this, this, so, let's say this is the everyday life of the city, we understood the quest, how then after receiving of humanitarian aid or there after visiting the store? what else is there, one there works in the city, how do you get home and come under fire? is this humanitarian aid, is there any other need for people in something specific, apart from the same, there they receive some food kits, kits of some household chemicals or something else, well, people have already become so accustomed to these living conditions that they mostly don't need anything anymore, they

do n't even ask for anything. help, which is in the form of food kits or in the form of these hygiene kits . well, everything is also enough. under the conditions, in principle, no one will be able to open ukrposhta, no one else will save, because it is very risky and more and more you know that the city is difficult to enter and leave it, it is very difficult to enter the city, even more so. now, today, a little the snow has already fallen, but we understand that there is an additional problem of logistics, mr. vitalyu, and the children remain in avdiivka, or have you already taken them? have you left those families whose youths have

children, unfortunately, around 50 children of various ages remain in the city ? the view is generally so irresponsible, there is such a relationship of parents to these children well, unfortunately, we do not have any legal mechanism to force these children to take them to study in, well, that is, what age are these children, how does learning take place, how is communication in the audio- visual school e- e children of different ages are and let's say there are two-year-old children who already study in high school, but they study the same thing. again, they do not learn what the parents tell us that we will somehow get assignments from the teacher over the phone and on world day, the children learn something. well, we understand that it's impossible, it's unrealistic, that is, even these parents

violate the constitutional rights of their children to education, that is, already here. well, there are many different public figures who protect children. yes, they are engaged in this matter. well, unfortunately, there is no political will in the verkhovna rada. after all, think about these children about this future, because first of all, children do not develop , children are constantly under such pressure, uh, psychological and moral, what will happen to these children , that is, it is difficult for me to imagine as a father of three children, something will happen 7 days later. well, then all our hopes are that this war will not last very long, because otherwise, it will be very difficult to rebuild and repair what this war has caused, although for avdiivka, in fact, we understand that this war , without exaggeration, has been going on for more than eight

years, sir and so thank you very much for this conversation we wish you a successful, successful, peaceful day. vitaly barabash, the head of the avdiyiv military -civilian administration joined us. of the military, the operational assembly of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine on the morning of january 10 is brought to your attention. glory to ukraine, the 321st day of the russian large-scale invasion of russia has begun. the invaders continue to carry out full-scale armed aggression against our the states do not stop striking, carrying out artillery attacks on critical infrastructure and the homes of the

civilian population throughout the territory of ukraine, thereby violating the norms of international humanitarian law, the laws and customs of war. during the past day, the enemy launched eight missile and 31 air strikes, carried out 63 attacks from rocket salvo systems including the civil infrastructure of the city of kharkiv, kherson -kramatorsk from the donetsk region and ochakiv in the mykolaiv region are among the victims the civilian population, the threat of air and missile strikes by the enemy on critical infrastructure objects remains throughout the territory of ukraine, the enemy is conducting offensive actions in the bakhmut, avdiiv and liman directions, is trying to improve the political situation in the kupyan direction , concentrating efforts on capturing the donetsk region within the boundaries of the luhansk monopopov kuzmine oblast and soledar belogorivka pidhorodne bakhmut klishchevka vodyane kurdyumivka mayork maryinka and pobeda of donetsk oblast on

in the siverskyi and slobojansk directions, the enemy fired at the positions of our troops and civilian objects in the areas of populated areas, buchka, chernihiv region, the old-fashioned shrieking of wolfen, popivka, basivka, and petrushivka, in the sumy region, and shooting green barns and huts in the kharkiv region, in the kupyan talent directions, the enemy fired at mortars barrel and jet artillery in the areas of 22 settlements, among them dvorichna kupyansk kislivka boiler house and starch factory of kharkiv region and stelmahivka makiivka plozhanka and dibrova in luhansk region in the direction of bakhmut, the enemy shelled the area of ​​25 settlements, in particular the disputed berestov beligorivka soledar and bakhmut in the donetsk region in the avdiiv direction were hit by fire avdiyivka vesele nevilske krasnohorivka georgiivka maryinka and novomykhailivka in the donetsk region in the

novopavlov direction were fired upon for a while in donetsk region, in the zaporizhzhia direction, the areas of 21 settlements were hit by fire, among them green field and novopil of donetsk region and gulyaipole, gulyaipilska, charming ruins and steppes in zaporizhzhia, in the kherson direction , enemy artillery fire damaged the civilian infrastructure of chernobaivka, antonyvka golden beam, and kherson. the occupiers continue to carry out measures to mobilize the local population in the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine. so in horlivka, donetsk region, on january 6 of this year , another raid took place. up to 30 people were mobilized, four of them with disabilities, after two days of so-called training at the eastern training ground, they were sent to one of the military units of the russian occupation forces against them continues to suffer losses, so in

the first week of 2023, about 120 occupiers were brought to the hospital in novotroitsk, kherson region. during the current day, the air force of the defense forces carried out 18 strikes on the areas of concentration of the enemy's personnel and military equipment, as well as three strikes on the positions of his anti-aircraft missile systems, our soldiers also shot down two enemy reconnaissance uavs of the orlan type, units of missile troops and artillery of the defense forces of ukraine in the case of a five-district administration point the concentration of manpower and military equipment of the enemy and the two positions of the occupiers' anti-aircraft missile systems is true in the armed forces of ukraine, we will win. glory to ukraine as a hero , glory to andrii, we are glad to see you. well, at least andrii may not have seen us now, but maybe he sees, maybe he is watching right now , let's send him our congratulations, gentlemen, let's

talk a little about the situation at the front. repulse the attack of the russians and so on with the word serhii zgurets, a military expert, where the electric company defensis is already in touch with us p serhii good morning good morning i congratulate you well, let's start with the situation under soledar, it looks like the russians have now concentrated their attacks there what it is this direction that is promising for the russians. well, if we put aside the fact that there are financial interests in himself, he half -promised that the russian federation would conduct hostilities because of the financial interests of prigozhin, we understand what actually the russian federation is waging a war to destroy ukraine, aimed at the genocide of the ukrainian people, and in what

direction did the russian military metal work? on bakhmut, which has not had any results for six months now, everyone compares the situation around bakhmutosty, maybe the first, the second, the first world war, and now the enemy is for the first time and all in the defense of bakhmut - it is day and night to go around bakhmut with the aim to cut the supply lines, but to the supply line to the gates, what steps should be taken to water our land with your blood, and when we are talking about a time located to the north of bahmut, and there the enemy is just trying to break through my-, er-e city in order to then get on the road to which there are seven kilometers there, which one, from sloviansk provides in bakhmut, the situation in

sloviansk is very difficult , if we take into account yesterday's kind of message, you have no idea that the enemy has been there almost since the evening already activated the assault actions by adding of new forces, not in this area, from the morning meeting of the general staff, it is still difficult to draw a conclusion about the dynamics. i thought that it has not fundamentally changed, that is, the enemy is trying to push through soledar, and our fighters are actually holding him back, causing significant losses from the point of view of the geography of the combat zone partly complicating the situation is that the enemy actually captured yakovlevka there earlier, this is a settlement that actually overhangs soledar from the north, and it allows you to attack the enemy more from there in

the valley where it is actually located, you are soledar which is sufficiently stretched across this valley so that the enemy is trying to attack soledar from three sides. i think that there have been no fundamental changes in dynamics. that is, it is high and the president's address indicates that additional units will be transferred there in addition to the 46th of the mobile brigade there and to the tank brigade, which conducts effective defensive actions, and i think that we will continue to hold back in this area. the viewer now we understand that it will be difficult to drink the enemy, and that is why we understand that now it is our defense that is becoming so active, but tough , no one wants to, no one wants to give in already, and the metro of our land, in fact, this exactly reflects the position of zelenskyi, who

says that he will hit bakhmut is important to us , it's just uh, it's important from the point of view that after this all of rivne will attack and liberate donbas well, but i understand that the advantage of russia is a large mobilization reserve on the one hand and on the other hand a very low threshold perception society's losses in this war, that is, we are really talking about the fact that now in russia this concept of a great patriotic 2:0 is being inflated, which means that we are valued and stand and this concept with a national stand actually, frankly, even removes any responsibility for the russian commanders and politicians regarding the number of casualties. this no longer makes sense to them, because this is nato's task . a chip that will now continue to be spread

in the russian environment. and on the field it happens. so on the field they are afraid , it is reflected so that we really see that the presence of numerous, even poorly trained human resources allows the enemy to use the component of these forces as the main element of further combat operations e-e aviation e-e is used less artillery is used more often but in limited quantities so that in principle we understand that these components remain unchanged but in different proportions and on the foreground just there is always an excessive amount of manpower against yes, mr. sergey, about aviation, now in belarus, russia has announced again some training there, what is the potential of both of them, how much is it still enough, now they are starting to transfer to belarus, first of all , mi-24 mi-8 helicopters, and the training should

be known on the 16th, the total number of planes that will be diverted is unknown, but now they were actually clearing all the airfields there, which are, er, on the territory of belarus, there and chulyshchi finch, which is 34 km from our state border with which by the way our lands were attacked and this aviation component, in principle, in fact, well, theoretically, can be perceived as, on the one hand, working out the forces for carrying out such actions using the air component, but when we talk about helicopters as elements of an assault offensive, we know and have seen the history of how it happened in the kyiv region during the attack by helicopters in boryspil, when they were shot down by our manpads and then when we were actually not ready for such actions as now, so i think that the use of the air component from the territory of belarus in

such an assault option looks unlikely, but of course the traditional threat of using these airfields for planes that can launch strikes on the territory of ukraine without entering the airspace of ukraine, let's remember this eternal story about the mit-31 flying there with these daggers, this forces us to activate our air defense so, in any case, before these exercises, we should also mention that they are currently accepting foreign exercises, where individual battalions are practicing the movement of technicians, although the general staff continues to say that there is no sign of the formation of an offensive unit of the e-e group because there are about 11,000 of them, although in the course of two days 800 servicemen were transferred there for training at the belarusian training grounds, and now we have there somewhere that up to 12 000 or so russian military personnel, and this is actually

much less than during the attack on february 24, when a group of 45,000 personnel was advancing from the territory of belarus on these airfields in lithuania of belarusians, some kind of cotton cannot blossom , something like what happened to engels, i actually well, here is such a delicate point, that is, there is a proper understanding that uh, russia can use uh, the territory of belarusian uh, belarus to launch strikes not only there with the kanders there or e-e missiles that were previously used. it is possible that the mobility is so high that they can be used for strikes on the territory of the belarusians and with e-e s-300 complexes, such risks always exist in view of the placement of the russian s300 out of 400

on the territory of belarus, and actually this is included in the logic of the russian federation's military operations, when there is a lack of other missiles, let's shoot at ukraine with uh, s300s, and in this sense, there is some kind of strategy aimed at minimizing the russian potential on the territory of belarus. well, i think that it is being considered by the ukrainian side, but here is such a moment to use it absolutely on time, and at that moment, er, or the same russian belarusian propaganda did not have the opportunity to er, use it for the fact that, as if, er, ukraine is shooting on the territory belarus and this will try to pack such a consolidating force as an impetus to push the army of belarus to hostilities, although the army of belarus does not want this, and that is precisely why i think that rather the russians can

engage in certain professional actions on the territory of belarus itself in order to somehow create conditions for pushing the russians in the belarusian military to hostilities regarding the cotton itself on the territory of belarus, then it can arise for reasons of the pansy military, understanding that the russians now certainly have an advantage in manpower at least in several areas of the front and they can obviously carry out a request warns the development of the ukrainian great that mobilization now in this place or in the next a-a that is, what can we oppose in this well, they are giving us now, it is possible that germany will give 40 of these marders and 50 will be given to bradley, the americans are all very normal. it is cool and cool, but if only the 46th brigade is holding 100 km, very

difficult 100 km, then it is on these on these 100 km okay, how to plan an attack on melitopol, for example, and when we talk about brigades, 100 kilometers is actually an exaggeration, if we talk about even 30 km, it is too much. i think that the density of our troops is much more than one brigade per 100 km on the other side when we are talking about a chacha of personal glass, it is somewhere around 15,000. they are preparing . in the ukrainian language, the defense security sector counts a million, of which

700,000 are directly related to the defense forces, that is, quantitative advantages can hardly be said at the current stage, and the issue here is not in the number, but in the number of numbers, but in the availability of equipment for equipping one or another force, either from the ukrainian side or from the russian side, general bohdanov said that we are, so to speak, at the stage of such a certain equilibrium when, relatively speaking, none of the sides can conduct active offensives, and that is precisely why several months is extremely important from the point of view of accumulating reserves and creating combat-ready units, where the help of the west at the current stage during the two normal is important because these indicators of weapons that we say are effective but small from the point of view of our real needs. as for the

enemy, he will be able these units will prepare their forces only there because of uh, in two months, and everything will go into combat somewhere in the spring in the maximum format, but with limited resources in terms of weapons technology, so in any case we we understand that now it is very important to help the west on a larger scale than it is bmp tanks - this is very telling and there should be more tanks in the bmp and in principle, in addition, everything is equal, we are now approaching the issue of e-aviation very closely, because ensuring the offensive operations without effectively covering them from the air without air strikes are quite complex, these samples of various long-range systems of controlled air defense systems under aircraft are precisely a sign of the fact that it is possible that we are slowly crossing the rubicon e-e, behind which there will be transmission and some kind of aviation equipment, because there are also tanks, is the

only component that allows us to effectively carry out offensive actions with minimal losses on our infantry . silence, we remember all those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by the full-scale invasion of russia, and there is also the war that russia has been waging against ukraine for several years
