guests, you understand that there is no place for electricity, gas, or water. and there are such small humanitarian centers where you can warm up, where you can get the most necessary help, where you can even entertain the children, and you could even celebrate the new year and christmas in peace, all these are both, the ukrainians continue to live despite the war, no matter how difficult it was. we thank the volunteers for what they are doing in the planned direction, and by the way, not only ukrainian volunteers, who are of course the core of humanitarian missions in the ukrainian volunteers from abroad also join the donbass, and yesterday it became known that two britons, andrew and chris, who had gone to the soledar region and from kramatorsk for another call for evacuation, had disappeared. no one knows what happened, but suddenly someone understands. circumstance,

situation, situation, their car was found not far from bakhmut. it should definitely be reported to the national police, by the way, about the work of volunteers, humanitarian headquarters, the delivery of medicinal products, by the way, medical missions of a volunteer nature, and the same there are gas stoves and gas cylinders in bakhmut, which is exactly what bakhmut needs now. well, if we talk in general and about the more or less rear areas of the ukrainian donetsk region, then kramatorsk, kurakhove and slavyansk are regularly under fire from rockets, in particular, yesterday in kramatorsk they died two people in a car were hit by a russian projectile in bakhmut and soledar the day before , two people were killed by shelling. and actually, if we are talking about the donetsk direction, we should not forget about the difficult situations in the avdiivka area.

the suburbs of formerly occupied donetsk, and it is now actively being pressured by the enemies, there is also a local population that is still being provided with humanitarian aid by our volunteers who are trying to clean up the city , uh, very difficult situation if we are talking about the audio village from the south vodyane opytne whiskey and of course nevelska, traditionally a nation of settlements, is under great pressure from the enemy from the north , and the same is true of the krasnohorivka district of the cheerful kamianka. there is an onslaught of efforts. the settlement of avdiivka, well, briefly about bahmut, what is important from the north, how do you understand soledar, ah, the red mountain, pidhorodne, from the south, this tick and kurdyumvka, its lake , it is in these areas that the most active battles are taking place, let's

not forget belogorivka in the donetsk region, too, a- and in the svatov crime area, the situation is just as difficult, but as far as i understand there, the defense forces of ukraine have the power to repel the enemy, and the president of ukraine noted in his address yesterday that the svatov crime was discussed at the stake meeting supreme criminal commander, this means that there is an understanding of the situation and we hope that there is a certain plan, colleague, we have the next guest, it was good, what did you tell me? the situation with civilians uh and in general about the situation in bakhmut, maybe about the surrounding area, i’m

asking for information, uh , the situation there yesterday, today, they were shelling houses and homes in the center of the city with old beer. the generator came under fire and let's just say that they got out of there miraculously because, when they entered, they saw that the outskirts of the city were burning there . black smoke is standing around the clock. the beautiful north is a solider. the southern part is a

bahmut. we end the 152nd with hails and so on, that is, you just go and you see on the left side there is a fire there, and on the right side there is a fire at home , and there is no way to take a picture of it all because he is trying to stop by as quickly as possible and do his mission, as it were, and oleksandr, you say that you took out the generator with the family and the child, why don't they leave and do they understand that if these are the child's parents and they are direct, if the guardians are responsible for the life and health of the child, then they are violating its basic the right to safety and life. why don't they leave? well, you know, it's all in the parents

' heads. i will even tell you something else i know a family that lives in the porch with a small child. he was born only two or three months ago. in the indigo quarter, there is a problem with hospitals . but after that they decided not to leave because the transportability of the wife raises doubts, you know. well, there are a lot of such situations and people lying down. well, i don't know what they are really waiting for. but it's very difficult. in the basement +5 that is, you are, uh, in the basement of a high-

rise building, your hands are dead there. how can you live there, how can you sleep there, and i simply do not represent people, sometimes they categorically do not want to leave, well, good man, uh, as they say has the right to decide her own fate and make decisions about herself, but the issue of malicious failure to fulfill parental duties and the actual danger you put your own child in, which you leave your own child in, is the same issue of violation of the law and criminal responsibility for parents in the future or does it act in bakhmuchat what is the national police still, at least in one of the formats, because, well, in such a situation , it seems to me that this is the right thing to do, but does the national police have a job and does it work the way it would ? mission of the dust. i think in the near future , eh, this will be resolved, but understand correctly, again, the police have no chance

of taking such a mission, talking to the group behind the skin of those people and evacuating from there. let me tell you a story with my rules , there was an application for 13 people, that is, 13 people called and had to come to the meeting place at a certain time, on a certain day, volunteers from the dnipro came, and more than one person did not show up at the meeting place for several hours, waiting for this the bus was empty. please tell me the nearest social protection authorities, where to look for them. where to turn to in order to save children from bahmut, for example, social services, relatively speaking. they have the authority to remove children . for such parents well, this is already a question for the social services, i am not able to do this, you understand

very briefly oleksandr and what do people who are in bakhmut need now, the first priority needs, please, the first priority - this is fuel, these are generators, firewood, firewood - this is the first priority food they have first of all, they need medicine, they need drinking water, and everything else. i think it is better for them to leave. this is my opinion. yes, oleksandr kachura, a volunteer who visited bakhmut just yesterday and told us about the situation in the city, about the fact that there are still families with children well, we go further let's talk about the south of our country and the situation there, roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine, mr. roman, congratulations, thank you, sorry for the delay, no problem, yes, if possible

, let's try to outline the situation in the south with you yesterday, the enemy shelled ochakiv, this is the mykolaiv coast, 15 people were injured, according to the information of the head of the attention vitaliy yakima, the enemy kissed the law, the preserved repository of old people against ship mines, which caused quite a big explosion, the situation in mykolaiv oblast, as we understand, remains difficult because it is still possible to attack mykolaiv and the region, as we understand, it is done from the kinburg spit and from the kinburg spit from the sea directly here. the question is that not only yesterday yesterday what they put in the ammunition warehouse and there really was such a shock wave and such destruction that the wave reached mykolaiv and everyone in mykolaiv felt it and i remember the publica there, some group of ours there were immediately er messages where it flew like that and here

i saw later that in ochakov they were surprised that the wave was so strong, they really got into the warehouse of some old ammunition that detonated, well, besides that, there were also flights into civilian houses. as for mykolaiv, it is further under er-e region under shelling, the enemy can strike so that they mykolaiv in these areas that go to the dnieper estuary, they can fire artillery from kinburn, so the situation is controlled as it is, but the artillery, just like in kherson , is constantly hitting, constantly firing, well it is also a separate hut, i just returned yesterday and there, well, every second something is flying in and you are building barrel artillery, mortars, tanks, they are constantly just destroying the city of kherson and constantly shelling

, and a little bit about this warehouse of old anti- ship mines - these are not the resources that we could to be used against the enemy , this is some old stockpile, this is something that is no longer in use, so i will not comment on exactly what was there, vitalik told them that it was old ammunition . as far as i know, there is something from the second world war they were really stored there during the world war, or could they be used now? i just don't know what condition they were in there after, if they were produced a long time ago, what was their condition there? the water area is enough for him to have them somewhere eh, well, in order to cover eh from enemy ships, and these munitions well, i don't know if they were effective, we can see that there was tnt, and that they could work as intended well i think this

more those who protect them there, who kept them there, can answer these questions , mr. roman, today it became known that the defense force of ukraine targeted a russian boat on the dnieper, in fact, between kherson and the bare pier, it is beautiful, but it constantly uses water transport and on a larger scale and on a smaller scale, they very much use ordinary fishing boats, which they took away local residents, just like in kherson, and then captured them on the other side when they retreated in the same way and use those which were taken from the fishermen. so, the left bank of the dnieper is constantly being used. and we are also fighting this because they use them to deliver their soldiers to these islands that are in the dnieper, the same great potemkin and others, and we know many islands that are there where in the gray

zone somewhere there with some small forces and the enemy is holding somewhere we will get and there is no other way to get there than by boats, therefore these boats use them as military equipment in fact for food supplies and the transfer of their e-e living resources personnel well, ugh, weapons, if we are talking about the left bank of the kherson region , and also about zaporizhzhia, what is happening there, we understand that the processing of enemy capabilities in the enemy rear is ongoing, there are warehouses with ammunition, respectively, the concentration of manpower. i think logistics, but here it is important to understand, sir roman, what are they counting on in the context of the reconquest of the kherson region, are they counting on anything at all, i mean the right bank, or is it possible that there are some landings from the left bank, for example?

they will concentrate precisely in the direction of zaporizhzhia and will try to climb up let's say the territory of our country, in your opinion, see eh, it's just theoretically, of course, there are airborne landings, there are some seaborne landings there that can be landed, theoretically, it can be done, but it must be a serious enough operation . will not remain unnoticed. our defense forces are the same forces that are in the area of ​​the kherson bridgehead in the past, which was called now our, let 's say, de-occupied territories, allow us to in case of this, see how it will all happen if we do everything right now, then prevent the enemy from crossing to the right bank of the dnieper because, well, first of all, if it will be aviation and airborne troops, well, we have enough anti-aircraft means, there are enough units that are there there are again the issues of ensuring the issue of everything, they have already passed all this on the right bank of the dnieper, so we understand that it is quite

difficult. well, if we are talking about the promotion of the dnieper river, this is also a very difficult task. despite the fact that in most places it is a very large width, which, in principle, even uh, modern armies uh, it is very difficult to force without shelling, even without the introduction of hostilities there in the rear, to establish such a crossing if it is under fire at me, then it is if i say once again that everything is done correctly, so it is practically impossible, so here, in principle, now we have the dnipro, and it is safe here , the defense forces are holding it. actively active in in the near term, he was likely to be more faithful. this is, of course, the zaporizhia direction, we have already said that donetsk is a purely political battle that putin is trying to correct all his mistakes, having

suffered many defeats, and now they are trying to find some kind of victory. to close the defeat of kherson and further away with access to the administrative borders so that at least we could talk about achieving some goals regarding precisely the military such a strategic direction that could be for the russians in the event of success to open further perspectives this is of course the zaporizhia direction that would allow them to move along the right to seize new territories. well, and thereby help the donetsk group and secure such cities as kameriupol, melitopol, berdyansk , which are also key for us if we uh, when we will uh, uh, liberate our territories, of course, bakhmut is the hottest spot there now, but i was in zaporizhzhia a few days before yesterday and worked there for some time, so i will say that there are also fierce battles, shooting

battles, the guys there are fighting for each in each planting there, behind every tree, there are serious battles there, and i think they are no less hot than in the mariupol direction, and there, too, the situation is real, it is difficult to communicate with all the commanders and local soldiers, and the guys there are holding on very bravely, but the situation is because the enemy massively with the help of their reserves there, including those who came from the direction of kherson, are trying to push and take 100,200 there 300 m a day and push back our troops. and what do they have in the south with armored vehicles with heavy the equipment is the same tanks. if we talk about the kherson direction, again, it is here, but it is still pulled away from the front edge , i say once again well, the dnipro factor makes adjustments even in the tactics of conducting

combat operations in defense of what is there, understanding that what i said about the enemy, as if we wanted all that could quotina yes and intensive shelling, the establishment of crossings , forcing the river in the cold season, well, those are all the factors that make it possible, uh, the same, that's why they understand that technology and technology it is possible to strike at a certain number, that is why they pulled it to a safe distance from the barrel artillery there, it is not so many that there were many times before that, probably even tens of times less, they are somewhere in shelters and had to use and mainly use artillery by turning well , based on the nature of the hostilities, of course, the paris direction is necessary, they have much more equipment there, they have no problems with supply, as they were here there, they have no problems at all with restrictions, so there is also equipment, they are pulling from the russian federation in particular, i have mariupoli and so on from the crimea. looking at

which units are directly in the direction of vasylivka, there, it is possible to deliver from crimea by rail from other directions it is possible to supply over and through the border with the russian federation, so here exactly how do they pass? well, i think this is a combination of some shells there, some ammunition there, they now have two such logistic highways, which is why they are afraid that in this direction if we cut them then in them, the issue of logistics is closed, especially the left bank of kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia, that is why they built up their defenses and now they are very entrenched there, there is enough reserve, i say once again that those who came up, including from the kherson direction, and those who left here, we sent a part to donetsk and also a large part in the zaporizhzhia direction, mr. thank you, thank you

for finalizing the information roman kostenko , people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine, who takes care of the defense of the ukrainian south. well, we are summarizing this hour and analyzing the entire picture of military operations in our country with mykola malohusband as the head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine from 2005 to the 10th year, an army general, an adviser to the president of ukraine, mykola, we congratulate you. congratulations to ukraine, glory to the heroes, we understand that the hottest now it is in donetsk region, bakhmut is simply a hellish situation in terms of the degree of tension, now in the soldiers we understand that there is a lot of information and it is quite different, in fact, the enemy is already there almost reports about the capture of soledar, which will significantly affect the situation with bakhmut and the

surrounding area, but we see that the defense forces of ukraine continue to hold, continue to continue to defend this settlement, how do you see the development of events there in the near future, it is simply important to understand is there any plan - and what is happening now is part of this idea of ​​our command, or are we now trying to situationally simply not to give the enemy if we want to achieve their goals, well, first of all, the strategic task becomes not only entering soledar by the russian leadership, but also bakhmut and the entire donetsk region, that is why it was not possible to capture bakhmut before the new year. accordingly , the strategy was released to capture soledar , surround it from different sides, and then, accordingly, hit the rear of our bakhmut group . this operation is known as it is clear that they used a colossal amount of forces, and the most important thing is that this is a professional unit, as a rule

, it is mobilized, it is used very rarely, it is also vactros, but it has been professionally trained for years, there are more specialists, just like that were recruited from the special forces of the sss special operations of the russian federation, and on the other hand, the landing forces and the marines. that is, these are the reinforcements, which today are the elite of russia, and the task is set before them. after their victories, they become strategic questions about this city, as it is extremely important. this is the center, although there is also a question of personal communication in slavyansk, but even the symbols that they captured at least one more or less a large city in donbas will continue to move, this is primarily for the parishioner and wagner and for the military and for putin himself, because there were no great successes in this situation, they are indeed partially already

fighting in the city, but at the moment we have taken over huge the forces of even these personnel are sent there, if we say so in general, without decoding, according to the data of the syrian commander and the president of ukraine, a large part of the reserves that form just new strategic counterattacks and perhaps even unexpected for the enemy style strikes there are prerequisites on the one hand from the enemy's side are the following prerequisites to hit our flanks according to our plan and on the other hand it is clear that we have such opportunities, but today all operations are planned they are already being implemented in terms of not only active defense in the city this is one of the forms of active format crushing the enemy's troops, and the most important thing is the task of striking the enemy. in the same period , i think that we will still have questions. you noticed that we sent a large number of

of our reserves, doesn't this mean a logical question? i think that you, the tv viewers, also asked, doesn't this mean that we are exposing ourselves a little somewhere ? maybe in other parts of the front, we have a long front, please, and today we are constantly preparing reserves , and the training system gives it every month. more we have several thousand or tens of thousands of well- heeled fighters who we are preparing to go into battle, so in this situation we do not discuss particularly, and there are some areas , for example, the ivrovsky ones, there was a question or the south, there is no such exposure due to what we have now generated in the security and defense sector is up to a million military personnel, and in the active part - this is more than 700,000 . 3 months have not yet been in battle, which was weighed today, our already

military units are being reinforced, which were large and have experience. bakhmut soledar, zaporizhzhia, are working in this direction and priority. precisely those directions that today are extremely important for us in a strategic format and in terms of defense and prospects are possible for offensive operations, so i predict that soledar will be transplanted , such an operation will be carried out and appropriate measures will be taken to neutralize these groups and everything will bring to the greats already exactly also the situation we developed in the direction of bakhtiv lviv today we are the only thing that seems to be deciphering some specific e-e offensive operations or even more so maneuvers troops, but the fact that this is planned is clearly because today the question is whether we will break the situation and for the sake of bakhmut avdiivka and start an offensive operation and in parallel we will also act more powerfully on the basis of the holy

crime and to conduct a liberation operation, but also to withdraw troops from the donetsk direction and not allow the reserve to be drawn up in this direction from the hinterland of the russian federation or from the so- called dpr of the lpr. military men are raised by the mine because young people are still thrown in all directions, including donetsk and luhansk, this may be another format. we can launch offensives from luhansk not only in the luhansk direction, but also strike force or flanks in donetsk ruslan and including saudi bakhmut mr. mykola, we ca n’t help but talk about the north, it somehow undeservedly remained in the brackets of our first hour of the broadcast, after all, belarus and the regular arrivals of russian tanks mobilized there in the number of up to several hundred e in a certain period of time well, we understand

that all this may not happen just like that. and in the near future, joint aviation exercises between russia and belarus will take place. in your opinion, how can things develop there now? can events develop, or is there a threat of a direct attack? land land to shell strategically important ukrainian cities maybe even the ukrainian capital well, first of all, we are talking about the fact that the consequential movement of troops in the territory of belarus today is around 12 13 thousands of soldiers of the russian federation who are training there, someone is forming a joint military formation from belarusians, but for active hostilities, a minimum of 50-60,000 is needed, and if i

already talked about large offensive operations up to 100,000, how did they attack on february 24, that is, even when blamed the defense systems on powerful and helmeted models precisely and the destruction of the enemy's mining, respectively, of the artillery system on the border under the borders. that is, this is already a new reality and to advance wherever and so it will be it is very easy to say that russia and belarus, and especially lukashenko, is playing on the fact that he is pulling back the huge forces of ukraine, as he tells the leading belarusians, it is more than a thousand kilometers away, and it is clear that they are demonstrating that they are ready for some offensive operations, this is a way of conducting, teaching the placement of iskanders, placing new ones, so to speak -e systems just like missile technology - these are s300 s400 and mig 31 aircraft with daggers on board, that is, they show a real threat in ukraine, i predict that today eh characterizes the situation so they are preparing and there is a lot of provocation and agitation

, but the readiness for offensive operations is minimal if they even risked everything in terms of provocation. an extremely difficult situation in the army of belarus, belarusian officers, we know operational information, the military do not want to fight in principle, i emphasize in principle, and if russian troops will act against them it could be an internal conflict between russian and belarusian soldiers, and then lukashenko's regime lukashenko understands it is maneuvering, but what did you say about striking from the territory of belarus s300 s400
