well, they know that winter has come into its own in sumy oblast, and the situation is like this. well, it 's cold, in a word, and of course the situation is up to minus 20. well, maybe you can correct me somewhere, but i'm saying this in general in the region. and i'll start it's nice that the french, the french, helped to provide heat to the educational institutions of sumy oblast, this is very good news, and i'm fine. are there any problems with providing heat to other buildings of private multi-apartment social buildings, please, with warmth, thank you that god's communal workers to the local environment now the situation is more or less stable, there are more problems with light, we are now under a flashlight . by the way, we are talking to you because there is no light, and in the applied schedules of such hourly emergency shutdowns, eh, regarding the situation with heating, well, in the regional center , i can definitely say that the situation is stable and the

houses are now heated and multi-apartment buildings, and in principle there are no problems with this where there is autonomous heating and the lights are turned off for this period of time, there are small difficulties with that, dear, the pumps in the region are working, i cannot give you full information, but in most of its situation it is more problematic precisely with the supply of electricity. well, let's talk about what , then, we raised this topic and you said about it about this p . i am the deputy head of the sumy council, i am a representative of the ukrainian national security agency, i am simply reminding the tv viewers. well, in general, what is the situation in the border areas, in the sense that, is work going on, let's say, to identify possible subversives, collaborators, or those who were collaborators, they are detained because why ? it it is important because today i read about the fact that i finally investigated until the end of the investigation of the case of a local resident of sumy region, who after

the invasion of the russians helped them all. could he and even led the russian convoys along some paths there, showing the way to kyiv? well, allegedly, he was detained and his case was brought to bringing it to a conclusion, now there must be a verdict even before him. i think that such a person is not alone, is this work going on, because we know very well that the enemy, well, at least predicts a new offensive and we understand that he may be on the territory of sumy oblast well, such people are definitely not needed there to show their hands again, so to speak, as an enemy. and really, this work is carried out by all possible structures and the security service of ukraine and other methods, such people are found, fortunately, there are fewer of them now, but this is not means that they disappeared because it seems to me that they are more buried today when, er, there were still active military operations in the territory of the sumy region and russian troops were present, then enough such people were found because then they probably still believed and expected that

this russian army would come here and they would then occupy certain positions, perhaps in the possible power, fortunately with the forces of the armed forces of tereboro and by uniting we were able to defend sumy oblast in principle in the long run. i think that well, definitely not it will not be an easy walk if the enemy dares to once again carry out such offensive actions on the sumy region, because, well, that is, the security situation in your country is different now, people are like this, there are more things today, exactly as you correctly noted, it comes down to logic completion of those who were detained in the spring, but there is constant monitoring for the detection of such persons, thank you very much. take care , i do not wish that instead of the light appearing, we will be an active deputy of the sumy city council , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine about the situation in sumy oblast, which is actually well, if not every day, very often, at least, the enemy is fired upon from the territory of the kursk

region of the russian federation. you can hear me, mr. oleksandr, i am glad to see that you are me, first of all well, the situation in luhansk region is more stationary and tense, so artificial , just like, say, in donetsk region. maybe somewhere to a lesser extent, there are still fierce battles going on there , at least in the area of ​​the matchmaking crime and crime, i would like to ask about the situation in the enemy-occupied territories in the enemy- occupied territories of the luhansk region, we are talking about north donetsk, well, first of all, there were, you can report exactly for this, for this district , for this community, what is the situation there under occupation what is life like there, please, well, the situation is quite like this, the city is actually without heating, without heat, the light is present only in part of the city, and the power allows

only heating at the expense of education, after all, there is not enough, because there is not enough for the whole city, partially water is present, well, in fact, in most places, the conditions of stay are the same as in the middle ages. well, is there any movement now? i always wonder if there is any movement of people to leave this territory, is there a desire or is there an opportunity. because you know, there may be a desire, there is no opportunity, let's say no are they letting out, are there any willing to leave, and in general, how many people remain in severodonetsk now living under russian occupation, about 7-8 thousand remain in the city, er, there are individuals trying to leave, you understand, but it is quite difficult, er, the only way is through the russian federation through

the baltic countries, there are those who try to somehow get to the e-e controlled by ukraine through other territories of the donetsk region, it is connected with hostilities with the risk of coming under fire and well, quite dangerous well, let's say there are two ways or with the occupied territory of ukraine is quite dangerous due to the russian federation of ukraine and the baltic states for people who remained under occupation and have been there for quite a long time. well, it is too expensive and quite difficult. the enemies, at least in their propaganda materials, talk a lot about how they are rebuilding mariupol. well, there some are making attempts to build something, where to whiten the dirt, to clean up what they are there, to bury the bodies of the killed somewhere, to fill it with concrete

and to show that supposedly life is returning to mara upol, somehow, well, showing there some a specific area of ​​this city, but about sieverodonetsk and lysychansk separately, we do not hear anything about the fact that we have built or matured something there, do we want to change there, are there such efforts and is there at least some work being done in this regard, or does the enemy understand that the city will have to leave it sooner or later . why? in principle, don't invest any money in it. no, at the end of december, november , december, they try to dump a little money into the city. well, it's probably due to the fact that it's the end of the year and the remainder will be used for military service. television videos because but the picture now uh, what are the arrangements there, unfortunately, the connection is quite bad, we will now try to redial mr.

oleksandr, after all, listen to what the enemy is there, what kind of money did he invest there? well, i understand that, by the way, this is the practice it is not new when money is invested and then the money disappears in mariupol, there was a similar story when even money was allocated from the federal budget, there were to build certain things in mariupol, and then the person who was supposed to master this money simply disappeared along with the money, just like in this case in russia do you know when they are? they were the first to announce the mobilization of the first wave of this mobilization, they rushed to look for uniforms for the military, so to speak, to dress them before sending them to the front, and then it turned out that there were one and a half million sets of uniforms that were supposed to be for the russian federation in the army of the russian federation this form was not found, and here is the question: was it a form at all or was it only on some invoices and no one even tried to sew it, or was it sewn and then sold somewhere, although who needs this formula? i think that it was not sewn, but the point is because the money was allocated, therefore, when money is allocated for

something in russia, it is necessary to understand very well that a part of this money disappears immediately in moscow . people who receive them and have to master them. well, then some small part is obviously left to open a children's playground there or to paint a bench or open some street toilets or do some other thing and that's it, oleksandr, i'm here so to speak tinkered with where could the russian money have disappeared, or did something happen or is there really some work going on there , please? well, they are trying to make a picture of the restoration of the city, uh, well , if they brought it somewhere, they took plastic windows of the same size and with which they are trying to insert them there in one house, and of course, it is filmed on the video is made by videos about restoration, somewhere one or two

roofs have been repaired in this city, it is also all filmed and it has already been shown 10 times in telegram channels of the occupied territories and video plots on propaganda channels so let's say so on the pages on the internet, but at the same time, in fact, the reconstruction of the city, well , no one deals with such dark things. thank you very much, mr. oleksandr. take care. thank you for your work . and you know , information appeared today on the espresso website. by the way, it is there. today, we will talk about it with a guest. when the children are so far, the times has opened such a very interesting behind-the-scenes sensation that putin is without warning of a full-scale invasion, i have such an idea, it is interesting that they refer to one official surrounded by sisyphus who allegedly told him this,

but here such an idea appears. what do you know? obviously, in the western world, or someone else decided to finally bring down the whole i blame this war on vladimir putin, that is, china has nothing to do with it, i don't know how it was there, he said he didn't say anything because some people say so, let's all hold on tight, the order itself seemed to attack, well, it's so normal to speak rudely, because after all, eh on this page, zupiny is the aggressor there, i don't know how his relationship with putin is, but this is such a very good move in the sense that everyone washes their hands and there are very long discussions and arguments about the fact that russia was going. of course, we need evidence, because the opinion of some official from the entourage of sisipinia is nothing. or at least an attractive attractive title for a newspaper or magazine article, well, maybe we'll

talk about that later, now it's time to talk about the military summary of the day and i, er, if i'm ready , i'll join the conversation serhii zgunets serhiy i congratulate you i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers i'm talking about fenition time said now let's refer to another publication. new york times wrote today that, according to the tasks of the armed forces of ukraine and b, so to speak, in conjunction with them, special groups are working on the territory of russia that are formed from fighters that are from the countries of the former soviet union, in particular, from the countries of central asia, from the countries of the caucasus. what do you think about this, can it be true, and why does this information suddenly appear in such a respected publication as the new york times? well, because information interacts with uh representatives of various peoples on the territory of the russian federation are sure to find such vulnerable places where this help will be extremely important in order to weaken

the enemy's defense potential and economic potential there, so i think that these stories are connected with the explosion at my the territory of the russian federation may have different roots in that pure thing that the new york times writes about. and when we talk about the military results of this era, the main emphasis today we will focus on the situation on the fronts of the heads on this precisely in soledar and bakhmut, and under what conditions poland is ready to hand over to ukraine a lot of suffering leopard tanks, about it in a moment. so, the defenders of the soldaro and bakhmut are doing everything to exhaust the enemy and reduce his offensive potential as much as possible, so the ministry of defense estimates of ukraine, the situation on this eastern part of our front with the aggressor, now the enemy is conducting an assault attack, striking these cities with artillery in the direction of soledar

, according to the estimates of our ministry of defense, the most combat-capable units of the wagner pvk are concentrated, which should show at least some tactical success directly on the battlefield. i will remind you that before therefore, the enemy tried for more than six months to demonstrate such success with main-frontal attacks on bakhmut, but lost a significant number of both personnel and equipment, this process actually continues now these efforts are spreading to the north and south of bakhmut, including attacks on soldiers with the aim of trying to surround bakhmut itself . and now we have ivan varchenko in contact - he is a serviceman in the armed forces of ukraine , a security expert. now we are establishing contact with them the connection and the information that really concerns the situation in soledar itself is not simple enough, because

there were reports and statements by the president that additional units will be transferred to this section of the front to ensure the repulsion of the enemy's attack on soledar itself the city is controlled by the ukrainian military, as the spokesman of the eastern command, serhiy cherevaty, said, but in any case, the important details are now in touch with ivan varchenko, ivan, i congratulate you. good evening. glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, now everyone's attention is focused on the most hot spot of the front, this is exactly with bakhmut and saladar, you are just maintaining contacts with your comrades-in-arms, what is the latest situation? you know about the state of the situation on this part of the front now, the enemy is carrying out offensive actions, our units and er units of the defense forces carry out defensive work and,

accordingly, destroy the enemies, we understand that having concentrated enormous efforts, not in the least valuing the lives and health of our soldiers , throwing the bodies of our citizens onto the ukrainian land now only for some symbolic victories in order to have something to put and what to tell your fuhrer about , the russian commanding russian generals today are engaged in something that has no relation to the art of war to the norm of the rules of war, namely they are trying come out as you know, at least for some successes, at least for some steps that can be characterized as successes because of that, any victory to date and any er promotion victory i mean russian of course yes there er called

a victory by the russians, it already carries such a vital taste of pyrrhic victory because the efforts spent absolutely do not justify the achievements that can be shown to the people , this is all every meter is given by thousands of lives of soldiers, of course, in a defensive war, in a defensive confrontation, the armed forces of ukraine the defense forces of ukraine are causing more damage to the enemy russians in brazil than the russians than the russians to the ukrainian forces . are there any rumors that this concentration of forces around bakhmut is actually directed

by the peace of russia in order to somehow also pull the maximum number of ukrainian troops into this zone in order to block the actions ukrainian troops in directions more dangerous for the russians, particularly in the southern direction. what are your assessments of such approaches? yes, of course, every offensive action, they either consciously pursue the goal of withdrawing enemy troops from this or that area, or unconsciously, but achieve this goal by the fact that the party carrying out defensive actions is ultimately forced to draw up reserves so that it is possible to prevent breakthroughs by influence and a more significant blow to it. yes, russia now has, i would say in the northern direction, has large problems, it risks losing a third

of its logistics, which currently supplies the agglomeration of severodonetsk, lysychansk, rubizhne, this is the road that goes through svatov flint to severodonetsk and , accordingly, under this threat, when the ukrainian defense forces, not as fast as we would like i wanted to, but much faster than i would have liked, the russians are advancing and threatening to take control of this r-66 route, which leads from valuye to gradonetsk, and accordingly, they are now trying to pull it back not too far. soledar bakhmut is also the line soledar bakhmut is going there 35-40 km away. soledar is located from severodonetsk , respectively, and from the same flint, some part of the force defense is usually pulled back. and more precisely, it is concentrated in order to be able to prevent breakthroughs. here, of course, on the southern front, we also

conduct defensive active elastic defensive battles, you know, with the transition to counterattacks and offensive actions, but well, this is a classic from the classics of a conventional war, the ukrainian defense forces act in the same way, groping for weak points in russian e-e positions and as it shows again the experience of 2022, we do it quite successfully, are able to demonstrate success in positional defensive battles and in active offensive actions . i am absolutely sure that the russians will not be able to achieve any operational successes due to a number of reasons, and one of these reasons is that it is winter in ukraine. let this the reason seems to be perhaps partly irrational, but winter in ukraine definitely works and is not on the side of the russians, far from their native land, they will, er,

receive defeats, including er, the report of difficult weather conditions, depending on them, they are significantly the armed forces of ukraine are in difficult conditions, now it is more difficult for them to bring their reserves here, especially those reserves that allow them to keep more or less humane conditions for their fighters, but the russians do not have to get used to humane conditions , they are used to living like this in russia and eh probably the only thing that is getting now eh is extremely low eh low wishes of russian eh doubles an extremely low assessment of their own life which, moreover, is fueled by propagandists who say that russia is the life of russians greatly exaggerated, overestimated, and because of that, of course, this allows them to have some part of the endurance of its strength, uh, at the same time, it once again emphasizes that the civilization with which ukraine is fighting is clearly not our choice

, and we will do everything to make russia suffer the punishment for the evil that it is in ukraine and it shines, mr. ivan. thank you for all the time for your inclusion. i will remind our viewers that the espresso channel was broadcast by ivan varchenko , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine , security experts, and then we will let's talk about weapons, which we desperately need to strengthen our defense, our army and, most importantly, about tanks, let me remind you that britain can become the first supplier of western tanks . today , poland delivered the largest number of tanks in the country, and after the start of russia's large-scale aggression against ukraine, warsaw handed over 270 t-72 tanks and pt-91 solid tanks to ukraine, and it was poland

received a request from ukraine about the possibility of transferring german leopard tanks, which are now the last of poland in poland. they did not reject the possibility of supplying these leopards, but emphasized that this could only be the result of such a joint step of transferring these tanks from a number of european allies to ukraine itself, in particular, the prime minister moravetsky of poland directly stated that warsaw is negotiating to create such a broad coalition of ukraine that could provide modern tanks for ukraine's defense needs, that is, it is about such a coalition that has actually already been formed, look at at least four countries that are ready to transfer leopard tanks, these are finland, sweden, spain, and actually poland itself, if we add germany here, then in total these countries have 1,200 leopard tanks in various

versions, more than 800 of them in the newest and therefore , the question arises, at what stage is this polish initiative now, what are the problems with the implementation or maybe there are none , and we will talk about this with our polish guest, this is dariusz materianiak , the head of the poland-ukraine research center mr. dariyovych i congratulate you good day good evening congratulations in poland they have indeed confirmed that they are ready to transfer several german leopard tanks to ukraine, but it should be such a pan-european initiative on monday , the president, prime minister, and defense minister of poland were just supposed to consider this issue, are there any data on the result of this meeting or at what stage is the initiative what are the possible ways of its implementation in the nearest or distant time eh, well, that’s right. in fact, everything depends quite a lot in this topic on

our western partners, because here the representatives are simply telling the government that poroshenko would like to hand over a certain number of tanks, then first we are talking about 10 tanks to and within the framework of uh, also serious initiatives if it will be more extreme if we agree with uh negotiate more. no country has, how and which have these tanks available, how they want to transfer them, that is, in fact, at this moment, we are waiting for the decision of our partners, our allies, regarding the fact that it is possible to collect a larger number and in the moment they are transferred to ukraine, how long will it take? well, i think that at least you need to calculate for at least a few weeks, until the end of january, that's how i think, more or less, this is the minimum period

. or from other european countries or actually from germany, which is actually the owner and manufacturer of these tanks , and the actual issue of re-exporting tanks from any country requires coordination with germany. so yesterday they wrote about the surrender of german that there has not been any appeal to the german government so far to consider these questions and this situation seem somewhat reminiscent of this story with the transfer of either patriots or bmp that first the united states does it and then germany already declares and then this process begins that we do not enter this similar circle again in solving the issue of leopards, for example, how is it going decision from the side in germany well, we can't do anything, because it all depends on their permission, and probably here we are repeating this situation once again, as it was in the case of other types of deprivation, although

uh, at that moment also uh, at first it seemed that this will be a problem, for sure, that there will be some problems here, a month late, the boss, and that’s what it is, one way or another, you can do it, it agreed with the usa a week later, germany also made a statement, and yours will transfer its also one battery of patriots, i.e. here i think this is a matter of time, this issue has not reached its discussion with various allies and first of all with germany, which here has a decisive er chaos in this matter and i have hope i hope for it what are the discussions of this conversation but they will not take more time than as i said several weeks, the end of january,

the beginning of february - in my opinion, this is the moment when we will have somehow i hope that it will be positive for ukraine and for us, and does poland even have extra tanks because literally yesterday it was announced about the creation of a new division that will be to be stationed in the podlaskie voivodeship near the borders with belarus and russia already there, and we can see the reaction there today in belarus that this is not a friendly step towards belarus, what is the reaction in warsaw to the efforts of the belarusians? put it upside down and explain everything from biology to logic on the black well, let's say we already have such actions from the beam of our belarusian neighbors, that is, how did it not surprise us, and i understood that the actions are yes and this crisis that is on the border is different now

we can see in the material that it has been two years, more than two years, almost two and a half, it will not be long, and here if it is clear that their reaction is not the same, e-e, regarding this issue, exactly, the tanks themselves. so this is problematic, because with e- e for precipitation two - this is the majority of e-e tanks uh, modern tanks, as i know, which are in service with the armed forces of poland, uh, that is, if for us to give a larger number, then we also have to wait for the delivery of tanks from the usa, first of all, there is one abrams, and also korean k2 tanks, etc. in this new division of the fifth division e-e within the framework of the e-e

armed forces of poland because today we have four divisions from above the armed forces and the one that is to be created will be the fifth within the framework of this division must be used have to be tanks. it was these poles that i said that is, i have to be there some partly eh abrams and partly tanks k like poroshenko lumbar only it is of course a matter of time the desire for time not only the division itself but also the supply of several there to poland that is, of course it will take time eh and eh us flowers, how many tanks will the first one be able to transfer to ukraine, tanks of this type are already working .
