mr. generals, with the beginning of the great war, starting from february 24, we witnessed how many drgs were in kyiv at a certain time. obviously, they arrived earlier, how they tried to work, in particular, in the capital. is it holding a meeting according to yours , or are they connected with the fact that russia is still trying to activate saboteurs, whom the sbu may not see now? maybe they are sitting here and continue to sit and have not shown themselves since february 24 the fsb now feels free to the territory of the ukrainian state, well, the fsb actually feels that the measures in ukraine are quite strong and intensified, and we see this not

because so many are captured or detained there, but because they do not manage to realize their various subversive desires. we do not have extraordinary events related to sabotage with sabotage. we do not have any explosions of infrastructure there. not with the help of drone missiles, but right there on the ground, you understand. we do not have detonation of military depots and strains. that is, it is all in a complex and says that after all anyway, the special services work at a decent level , one of the points that can be implemented during control measures in the government quarter is the implementation of operational information and its verification, its verification is possible only when all institutions are involved. well, you and all the means are in place and all the bodies, including you can see, the state security service and the national

police have joined and i heard that there is also the military law enforcement service. that is, this is such a complex measure that will allow you to really check, clean up, close it completely government portrait and work on the entrance and exit and give a guarantee that there are no strangers there because we still have to ensure the normal functioning of our government institutions we have to ensure the normal functioning of the international international bridges that constantly happens in those meetings in the rented quarter and this guarantee must be clearly worked out by all the special services .

russia is trying to achieve something, and their number one goal remains the government quarter and those people who are there. it is undeniable for them. they live in completely different paradigms. they believe that if you destroy a person in the center of power, then the government can sprinkle them. they simply do not they understand that in ukraine the decentralization of power and the society itself is so self-organized and self-organized that you can take any part from this puzzle . but russia can't understand that, so if they have set some goal for themselves, you see how the same old-fashioned solidar is banging their heads against the wall. yeah, i can't stop. thank you, thank you , mr. generals, for participating in the program .

we will talk precisely about the situation that is developing in soledar and near bakhmut, we will talk literally in a few minutes with our guest i want to remind friends that we are working live on the espresso tv channel and also on our social networks back watch now on youtube ada or on facebook for those who are currently watching us on youtube or on facebook, i will say that you can like this video so that it is promoted in the trends of youtube and facebook, and you can become a sponsor of our youtube channel under this video you can find the sponsor button, we will be glad for your help, we are grateful for your help, we are still in touch with yehor firsov, a stereo military medic who is currently fighting in donetsk region, igor good day, good health, i wish you good health, mr. serhiy for your sake see on the air, i see that it is very frosty on the

eastern front, what is the temperature in the air now -14 at night it was -17 very, very high low or rather the temperature now on the eastern front during the last few days, it is not a pity that the ukrainian military has been fighting fierce battles with the russian by the occupiers near soledar and in soledar itself and in bakhmut, the russians already reported this morning that they had already captured the main points in soledar, at the same time, the rating of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy cherevaty denied this and said that this is not true. well let's talk about soledar first, why is soledar and control over soledar so important now for the russian army, this story is for 100 enemies

on the matter of bakhmut, i would even formulate it like that , and since february 24, also because in my unit, for example, there are a lot of guys, well, even 20 years old and they are generally from the city of bakhmut solidar so the first battles there began on the 24th, so on the evening of the 25th, the boys came to the military commissars and understood that the next day they would, well, if they were to enter into battle, that's why the enemy is trying to take solidar. i would say so with on the first day of the war, but uh, hmm, due to the fact that there was such a lack of focus in the enemy's offensive , that is, they tried to take kiev, yes, there in three days, then there was a situation with mariupol, it was kherson, they tried to form mykolaiv and so on, bakhmut, they did not then they took

and only from 3 months made such a fixation point. yes, they tried to take the city. i was still in my own, well, quite modest forecasts. but i’m not a soldier, i don’t apply for a year, some kind of expertise from above, but i understood that they changed the fact that they could not take bakhmut then when they started to destroy everything from the infrastructure, that is, their logic was that we won't get it, so don't get all this and no one, that is, we won't live without deploying from these residences there buildings and so on, that's why they started doing business as usual and putting the city to sleep the artillery of the russian federation and from kandera even flew to us when our unit was still directly there, and they understood that they could not

take bakhmut and began to bypass bakhmut from the sides, directly to the solidar and in september it began still an active phase, september, october, probably , ah, an active phase of fighting has begun in soledar, one of our units also took part there , that’s why when the enemy talks about street battles there and so on, they were still in september, on, on, on, on, on, on, in the city, here, well, there is our subdivision i was sitting on one porch, and there was an enemy in the neighboring one, that's why the situation was there, that's why there are all the stories about solidar taking the enemy, bakhmut taking the enemy every day, but being at the front, i 'll say it every day from journalists, relatives and friends neighbors of ya i received various messages, but it's true that bakhmut well, they left for the armed forces, but it's true that

solidara found out, they left. no, they didn't leave. yes, the situation is difficult, serious, every day and day and night, battles are going on, despite the savages. the ground has already frozen and heavy equipment may have the ability to move on the ground if there was mud a week ago and it was raining. so the situation is very, very difficult, very difficult, but we are holding our positions and as noted by the representatives of the senior command from the general staff this is another disinformation, another pso and bakhmut solidar continue to be under our control, mr. yehor, we have a small video from a serviceman with the call sign kyivan, who is in the direction of bakhmut, the recording was made this morning, let’s see. good

morning, ukraine is not such a morning bakhmut, friends , on the operational situation on the morning of january 11, selodars bottle fights continue there, separate houses even several times hand to hand, weather conditions, severe frostbite of the lower and upper extremities, endless assaults, these attacks are all complicated, but it’s like units not only defends, but the village is co-

attacked , the battles continue. -e such newer ugani are trying to climb, they are knocked out, they climb in the general kardibat on bakhmut bakhmut seems to be normal in some places, ours is there, i will not say, you can tell me later, i will tell you about ours. we have separate units what, damn it, i wouldn’t want them to work against me, there are cossacks and day and night they enter the positions of the orcs, they fucking beat them to the knee and here they are dragged here like rams by artillery

mortars tanks we also work, god bless each uav, thanks to the volunteers , adjustments are made so, this is the situation in the direction of bakhmut in bakhmut, sir, and the mountains, with the change of weather, with the cooling, how is the situation at the front changing, what is missing? maybe volunteers, citizens, can help our fighters in the east. of course, the weather makes its adjustments, as i said, it first of all makes adjustments to the soil, for literally more than a week ago there were rains. well, the weather was also so bad, that is, plus two and rains, that is, it is on hmm, well , it is very uncomfortable because there who are directly at ground zero, they are knee-deep in

water, it is very, very cold, but there were advantages, the advantages were that the enemy could not advance with heavy equipment. that is, she was completely drowned in the mud. that’s it. it was a little . wet ground and it breaks up a little easier , if you can say so, it explodes there not with such a wave, and sometimes it doesn't even explode at all because the detonator doesn't work. well, what about everything. well, the situation is now, so i say that it's very, very cold that's it, hmm, well, the senior command was preparing for such an ordinary thing, it understood that the enemy's equipment could be advancing, so to these

. i will say for sure. so, we are also preparing certain surprises of the enemy, moreover, it seems to me that the cold weather, despite the simple conditions, the hellish cold, we are better prepared because, first of all , this is already for us. what a winter, let's go let's count nine thanks to the volunteers. for example, when i received a winter uniform, i say this for myself and for our unit, uh, they gave me three types of peacoats, for example, winter ones, so the volunteers help, the state drew conclusions there from its past mistakes, yes, because of the fact that what does our enemy look like? sometimes we've seen something like that. well, sometimes. it seems that they haven't changed their uniforms there since the second world war. well, but i'll say it again. well

, here it's difficult, sometimes it's easy. well, let's even say how in some units, the situation is such that the soldiers freeze to death and spend a lot of time in the cold. well, of course, it’s adrenaline, that is, you don’t feel it here and there, you know , you don’t feel like a childhood. why should you go home ? it is located on marusa limbs freeze and this usually leads to terrible consequences up to amputation, that's why such a price, in principle, the price of life and health, in principle, and cities such as bakhmut and solidar, mr. igorev, continues the last few days, the event is quite actively discussing the transfer of heavy equipment to ukraine, in particular leopards there have already been statements by the heads of the european union and nato that

ukraine is getting how many leopards there will be. it is not clear, but we know that there are about two thousand of them in europe and military experts are talking about what to change the situation on the front will be enough to transfer to ukraine 10% there, or 1%, not 10%, it seems 10% of the total number, that is, 200 leopards can change the situation on the eastern front , e.e., and on the southern front, including e.e., the pentagon is considering the possibility of supplying ukraine btriv styker and well, very, very much, now a big discussion has begun about the provision of heavy equipment, what ukraine has been asking from the western countries since the very first day. why do you think the west was in no hurry to give us this equipment and with the appearance of such equipment at the front according to your in your estimation, how will the

situation develop and will it give us such an advantage in strength against the russian invaders? well , they didn't believe the first position. well, they just didn't believe. you know, when there are world experts who are recognized, who are authoritative, and so-called very popular, remember computer programs, yes who model the situation and make some typical conclusions, not a single expert, not a single program, not a single thing gave ukraine a chance, only we believed in ourselves, only we took up arms, uh, um, they can say about their unit, i'm sorry , there tractor drivers, cooks, drivers, miners metallurgists made weapons, studied, studied , for example, honey, er, this is among some other things for which i am currently involved, yes, i had no idea at all. yes, but we all studied, we all believed in ourselves and we

repelled the enemy. as for help, help of course added a lot to us, but keep in mind that until may, the month of this war, that is, from february. here i am from may. that is, it is several months, but we kept these two or three months in our reserves, so i arrived in may in avdiivka in avdiivka except there are several foreign howitzers there was nothing and the guys held on to our ukrainian reserves, and even then the task was to hold out, of course, but they held out. well, then, only then, little by little, western aid began to arrive, and now we are of course very grateful to the equipment that is available and the ammunition that is, of course, there is not enough of them. well, the less the better than it was, but it

is not enough to actually beat the enemy, you understand that here at the front, ah, well, the understanding of war from a soldier to the senior command is a story of how to defeat our enemy, how to defeat him , that is, not to stand as the first months of the war were namely to break and for this you need at least, well , more or less pretet wanted, that is, equality in the projectiles that are available and in the equipment that is available, the only thing i can say is leopards, it is good in principle , any type of modern tank that will appear to us is good, but as a rule, based on my experience, i can say between uh, when there is an application for the issue of these weapons to us and when these weapons reach directly to the front, to a specific tanker, to a specific unit, well, i apologize for my frankness, but sometimes

a lot of time passes, at least it can take a month, or maybe two, then we will have to wait for this one. by the way, sir, in russia, dmitry medveev was released again. he has now created a commission there that will control the production of russian weapons. he says that the criminal code has new penalties for violations and delays in state orders, let's see medvedev, i signed the order on the creation of a working group of the commission to control the production of in-demand samples of military special equipment , combat equipment and clothing i hope that this kind of reformatting will allow the planned plans and control measures to be carried out more

effectively . these new norms have not yet been applied. russia is a unique country that only knows how to put people in prisons and actually threaten everyone. weapons, that is, their main production is the production of weapons. yehor. what do you think, whether the weapons that the west will now supply us and the west promises will be decisive in the year that came in 2023, and whether 2023 will be decisive in this war

look, i want to tell you that my thoughts are mine and, in principle, probably ours from the front, ours from uh, well, those brothers, those uh, with whom i am next to, we think, uh, that the 23rd should be decisive, because for all of us it is faster to end this war, sometimes the assault troops go forward, but at their own risk and there is a risk in those territories that are occupied because they have a direct desire to end it as soon as possible. and this is the first position, the second position . the number will be as declared by

our commander-in-chief valery fyodorovych zaluzhnyi, yes, about what is needed. well, i’m not sure , i won’t repeat. people also need to be trained to drive these modified tanks and so on. i am convinced that the turning point in this war will be because, well, agree, you can't, well, it's very difficult to win when, for example, at the beginning of the war, we had it in our direction on one of our shots from heavy weapons was 20 or even 30 enemy shots, and we held on, and our attack aircraft still managed to

kill the enemy in some positions. analytics, of course, we are our defense industry , and well, the relationship with our international partners, we must strive to bring the situation with weapons to parity, although the approximate amount of ammunition and equipment is the same as the enemy has, because, well, it is understandable to defend ourselves, and we still need to restore our territories to knock out positions is frankly, from the point of view of military science, it is more difficult, that is, there must be an advantage in numbers and equipment and weapons in our advantage, of course, we have a crazy spirit, crazy brotherhood i generally believe that in principle our front is based on colossal self-sacrifice and colossal spirit. yes, but in order to

beat the enemy and destroy him. of course, heavy equipment and weapons are needed. today zelensky held a coordination meeting in lviv regarding the security situation in the northwestern regions of ukraine, it was discussed there arrangements for guarding the state border operationally, the situation on the border with the republic of belarus and counter-sabotage measures in these territories , now you are watching a video from lviv, friends, where is it volodymyr zelenskyy is conducting this meeting , finally, mr. igor, i wanted to ask you how likely it is that russia will use the northern front and enter from belarus in order to gain victories or some advantages on the eastern and southern fronts. of course, like everyone else, i don't know. i don't know. yes, but we have to start

from the fact that every day we have to take this seriously from that side and from others. our enemy in such a way that, frankly, i will say here the front-line attitude. yes, he wants to destroy us, he wants to destroy us, the ukrainian military, the ukrainian government, the ukrainian language , he wants to destroy everything related to ukraine. therefore, we need to take seriously every hour of every day the fact that there may be a threat from on the part of belarus, on the part of transnistria, it is of course responsible to treat this despite the fact that experts do not speak there, that they do not speak with western partners while this barbaric terrorist regime exists in

russia fok as long as there is a threat of invasion of ukraine from all sides that this regime controls and this is belarus and this is transnistria thank you sir and the mountains take care thank you for joining our broadcast let's say hello to our brothers glory of the zsu - this is yegor firsov was a tero fighter - a military medic who is fighting in donetsk region, friends, this was a program, the verdict was also conducted by serhii rudenko, we will meet with you tomorrow as usual at 1:00 p.m., we will talk about the situation on the eastern , southern and northern fronts. take care of yourself and your relatives. goodbye, everyone.
