means they are strong and strengthened, and we see this not because so many are captured or detained there, but because they do not manage to realize these or other subversive uh desires. we do not have extraordinary events related to sabotage with sabotage. we don't have any explosions of infrastructure there. not with the help of drone missiles, but right there on the ground, you understand. we don't have detonation of military depots and strains. that is, it's all in a complex and says that the special services are still working at a decent level. it's one of the one of the moments that can be implemented during control measures in the government quarter - this is the implementation of operational information and its verification, its verification is possible only when all institutions are involved well, you and everyone, no, all means exist and all bodies, including you see, the

state security service and the national police have joined, and i heard that the military law enforcement service is also there. that is, this is such a comprehensive measure that will allow you to really check, clean up, close the government portal completely, and work on entry-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 bridges that constantly take place in the government quarter. this guarantee must be clearly worked out . by all the special services and, you know, there, well, roughly speaking, they put a seal on everything, it’s checked, he doesn’t know, without these, without these guarantees, it’s very difficult

to feel yourself. number one, they still have the government quarter and those people who are there. this is indisputable for them. they live completely different parades. they believe that if you destroy a person in the center of power, then the government can sprinkle them. they simply understand that in ukraine , the decentralization of power is precisely society is so independent and self -organized that uh, take away any detail from this puzzle . it will definitely not fall apart, it will simply connect in another, in another, in another configuration and will continue to work, but russia does not understand this, so if they appear some you see how bakhmut and solidar are the same, they are banging their heads against the wall, yes, they can't stop, thank you, thank you, sir , the generals for participating in the program. it was

major general of the sbu in the reserve viktor yagun. next , we will talk about the situation that exists in soledar. and near bahmut we will talk literally in a few minutes with our guest i want to remind friends that we work live on the espresso tv channel and also on our social networks you can watch us now on youtube ada or on facebook for those who are currently watching us on youtube or in i will tell facebook that you can like this video in order for it to be 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, grateful for your help, continue with us at communication yehor firsov because there is a stereo military medic who is currently fighting in donetsk region mr. igor good day good health to you, i am glad to

see you on the air, i see that it is very windy on the eastern front, what is the temperature in the air now -14 at night - 17 very, very high, low, or rather, the temperature is now on the eastern front. during the last few days, the ukrainian military has been fighting fierce battles with the russian invaders near soledar and in soledar itself and in bakhmut. this morning, the russians reported that they had already captured the main points in soledar. the rating of the eastern group of the zsu serhiy cherevaty refuted 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 our enemy

bakhmut is trying, i would even formulate it like that, and since february 24, also because in my unit, for example, there are a lot of guys in their 20s, yes, and they are generally from the city of bakhmut solidar so the first battles there began on the fourth, so on the evening of the 25th already the guys came to the military commissars and understood that the next day they would be, well, if they were to enter into battle , that's why the enemy is trying to take solidar. i would have said so from 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 will remember they tried to take kyiv and there in three days then there was a situation with mariupol, it was kherson, they tried to form mykolaiv and so on. they didn’t take bakhmut then, and only now

they made such a fixation point there for 3-4 months . soldiers, i do not pretend to be some kind of expert 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 like this, we will not get it, so don't get all this and nobody. that is, we let's not live, deploy from these residences to the buildings and so on, so they began to find out as usual and simply bombard the city with artillery barrels, play rszu and even flew to us from kandera when our unit was still directly there, and here they are they understood that they could not take bakhmut and

began to bypass bakhmut, and from the sides it was directly the solidarity, and in september , an active phase began . there and so on, they were still in september in a piece of a piece of the city. well, there our unit was sitting in one entrance, and there was an enemy in the neighboring one, that's why such a situation developed there, that's why all the stories about the fact that solidar took the enemy bakhmut took on the enemy every day, but being at the front, i will say without exaggeration that every day from the journals of relatives and close neighbors, i received different messages, and it is true that bakhmut

went to the armed forces, and it is true that the solidar found out that they left. no, they did not leave. yes, the situation is difficult , serious every day and there are battles day and night despite the wild cold, the moro is now -17 here. heavy equipment is already frozen into the ground. heavy equipment may have the ability to move on the ground if there is. a week ago, it did not have such an opportunity because the bakshi were. 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 and solidar continue to be under the control of the armed men, sir, and there is a small video from a serviceman with the call sign mace located on in the direction of bakhmut, the recording was made this morning, let’s see. good morning.

ukraine is such a morning bakhmut. friends, on the operational situation on the morning of january 11, the villagers will go even here several times hand in hand. but it seems that the unit is not only being defended, but that it is

channeling the village, and the fighting continues. there is only a regular army left for soledar, why are they all the others? who are we a little? well, it is not that it has calmed down or is quieter, it means that the very center of the city is our tactic, too. there are new ones that are still found trying to climb , they are knocked out, they climb in the general kardibats on bakhmut bakhmut i think it’s normal. ours is standing in some places. i won’t talk. you can tell me later after the war. i’ll tell you. we have separate units that. well, damn, i wouldn’t want them to work against me. the frameworks and day and night go into position with the orks, damn it. they are knocked out to their knees here and there like rams, they are

dragged by art mortars. tanks also work for us. god bless each uav thanks to the volunteers, correction is provided. so, this is the situation in the bakhmut direction in bakhmut, sir, and the mountains with the change of weather with the cooling, how does the situation change in what is missing at the front? maybe the volunteers and the citizens can help our fighters in the east. well, of course, the weather makes its adjustments, as i said, it first of all makes adjustments to the ground. it rained literally more than a week ago. well, too. the weather was so bad, i.e. it was plus two and it was raining, i.e. it was at um, it was very uncomfortable because there, uh, those who are at zero directly

, they are up to their knees in water, it is very, very cold, but there were advantages, the advantages were that the enemy could not to move forward with heavy equipment . that is, it was completely submerged in the mud. but it was a little bit. well, if it were different with the tools , because when the projectile hits the wet ground and bursts, it is a little easier, if you can say so, it explodes there not with such a wave , and sometimes not even at all explodes because the detonator doesn't go off. well, what about everything. well, the situation is now, i say that it's very, very cold. that's it. well, the senior command was preparing for such an ordinary thing . ready, moreover, i know that the

senior command was also preparing for the fact that there will be frost and well, from what i can say for sure, i will say so that, uh, we are also preparing certain surprises of the enemy, moreover, it seems to me that it will be cold... and despite the fact that the conditions are hellish we are better prepared for the cold because, first of all , it is already winter for us, so let's count to nine, thanks to the volunteers. for example, when i received a winter uniform, i say this for myself and for our unit . volunteers help, the state has drawn conclusions there from its past mistakes, certain things, from the way our enemy looks like, well, sometimes we have seen such things. well, yes, sometimes. it seems that their uniforms have not changed there since the second world war. but still

once i'll say it's difficult, sometimes it's simple. well, let's even say it as it is in some units in uh, the situation is such that the soldiers freeze to death and are in the cold for a long time. that there is a need to go home, the adrenaline rushes many, many times, who is on the maruv, the limbs freeze and this usually leads to terrible consequences, up to amputation, that's why at such a price, in principle, the price of life and health in principle and such cities as bakhmut and solidar have been holding on , the dispute has continued for the past few days, the west is quite actively discussing the transfer of heavy equipment to ukraine, in particular leopards 2, there have already been

statements by the heads of the european union and nato that ukraine will receive how many leopards it will be, it is not clear, but we know that in europe they are somewhere close two thousand and military experts say that in order to change the situation at the front, it will be enough to transfer 10% to ukraine, or one percent, not 10%, but 10% of the total number, that is, 200 leopards can change the situation on on the eastern front and on the southern front, including uh, the pentagon is considering the possibility of supplying ukraine with styker missiles and well, very, very much, now a big discussion has begun about the provision of heavy equipment, what ukraine has been asking from western countries since the very first day, why on your opinion, the west was in no hurry to give us this equipment and with the appearance of such equipment on the front, in your opinion, in your opinion,

how will the situation develop and whether it will give us such an advantage in strength against the russian occupiers? well, they did not believe the first position well, they simply did not believe, you understand when there world experts, which are recognized, which are authoritative , so-called very popular, remember the computer programs, yes, which simulate the situation and make some typical conclusions, not a single expert, not a single program, nothing gave us a chance in ukraine, only we believed in ourselves, only we took up arms about their unit, they can say , i 'm sorry, you're a tractor driver, you're a cook, a driver, a miner, a metallurgist, they made weapons, studied, studied.

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

better than it was, but it is not enough to actually beat the enemy . of the senior command is the story of how to defeat our enemy, how to defeat him, that is, not to resist, as was the case in the first months of the war, namely to defeat and for this, at least, well, more or less priority is needed. that is, equality in terms of the shells that are available and in the equipment that is the only thing i can say leopards are good, in principle, any kind of modern tank and it will look good to us, but as a rule, already from experience, i can say in the meantime when there is a statement about the issue of these weapons to us and when these weapons reach directly to the front, a specific tanker,

a specific unit, well i apologize for my frankness, but sometimes it takes a long time, at least it can take a month, or maybe two. by the way, sir, in russia, dmitri medveev was released again, he has now created a commission there that will control the production of russian weapons says that there are new penalties in the criminal code in case of violations and delays with the state order, let's see . planned plans

and control measures more effectively no one canceled the responsibility and liability of the factories themselves and disciplinary responsibility for the leadership well, in the case of repeat offenders, you will be reminded that a special criminal penalty has been introduced in accordance with a number of articles of the criminal code of the russian federation - these are new norms, they have not yet been applied. russia is a unique country that only knows how to put people in jail and actually threaten them with all kinds of weapons i.e., their main production is the production of weapons. yehor. do you think that the weapons that the west will now supply us and the west promises will become decisive in the year that came in 2023 and will 2023 be the decisive year in this war,

look, i want to tell you yes, my thoughts are mine and, in principle, probably ours from the front, ours from er, well, those brothers, those er, with whom i am with, we think er, so what the 23rd should be decisive, because we all want to end this war as soon as possible. sometimes the assault units go forward, but at their own peril and risk, the territories that are occupied , because they have a direct desire to end it faster, this is the first position, the second position, of course. -a it will be left very seriously from e-e help, including it from help with heavy weapons directly by tanks, but everything depends on the amount, if

the amount is as declared by our commander-in-chief valery fedorovich zaluzhny, yes, about what is needed well, i’m not sure, i won’t repeat it, there were about 600 500 armored personnel carriers, in principle, i understand that if there is a need, it is necessary to train people to drive these modified tanks and so on . very much it is difficult to win when, for example, at the beginning of the war, in our direction, there were 20 or even 30 enemy shots from heavy weapons on one of ours, and we held on, and our stormtroopers still managed

to kill the enemy in some positions. well, this is some kind of unique thing that does not fit into any kind of analytics, so of course we are our defense industry and well , we must strive to bring the situation with weapons to parity with our international partners although the amount of ammunition and equipment is approximately the same as the enemy has, because well, it’s understandable to defend yourself, and you still need to restore your territories, to knock out positions, it’s frankly more difficult from the point of view of military science, that is, there must be an advantage in numbers and equipment and weapons in our advantage must be, of course, we have a crazy spirit, a crazy brotherhood. i generally believe that, in principle, our front is based on colossal

self-sacrifice, colossal so far, but in order to beat the enemy and smash him, of course, you need heavy weapons equipment today, zelenskyy held a coordination meeting in lviv regarding the security situation in the northwestern regions of ukraine, the arrangement of state border protection was discussed there, the situation on the border with the republic of belarus and counter-sabotage measures in these territories were discussed there, friends, now you are watching a video from lviv, where is volodymyr zelensky is holding 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. well, let's do it. of course, i don't know. like everyone

else, i don't know. yes, but we have to start from the fact that every day we have to take this seriously, what from that side and from others. things of the sides, conditionally speaking, there may be some threat from the transnistrian side, we need to learn to approach our enemy in such a way that, well, 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 i want to destroy everything that concerns ukraine. that's why we need to take seriously every hour of every day the fact that there may be a threat from belarus from transnistria and, of course, treat it responsibly despite the fact that there are no experts speaking there, and no speaking from the western partners, as long as this barbaric terrorist regime exists in

russia, 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 mountains take care thank you for joining to our broadcast, let's say hello to our comrades. glory of the armed forces - this is yehor firsov, he was a tero fighter - a military medic who is fighting in donetsk region, friends, this was a program, the verdict was also conducted by serhiy rudenko, we will meet with you tomorrow, as usual, at 1:00 p.m., we will talk about the situation in the east on the southern and northern fronts take care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye cinema television sport music education the free have a

choice choose what you want on megogo art in the country of war a series of documentaries, each of which will tell about one of of ukrainian artists, artists who did not go abroad and continue their creative path. in ukraine, it seems that history just entered now, yes, at some such moment, where everything just came together in a linear way, so what happened there that we remember back then there was a kind of drag, and it seems that now it is all at one moment and we see that everything is repeating itself, but how the place and

meaning of the artist and his work are changing. in the country of war from january 16, on weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 on espresso, vasyl zima's big broadcast my name is vasyl zima, two hours of air time until 21:00, two hours of your time, we will talk about the most important things, two hours to learn about the war serhiy zhoretska joins our broadcast, military summaries of the day and what is the world like? what in the world will yury the physicist tell about for two hours to stay up to date with economic news? oleksandr borshchagivtsi protested. he talks about the economy during the war and the new sport yevhen pastukhov is ready to talk about sports for two hours in the company of his favorite hosts about culture during the war. is lina ready to talk about culture during the war ? is there anything else that many people have become familiar with? maybe the weather will give us some optimism. mrs. natalka didenko is ready to

bertie and i did not know tactical glasses, but since 2014 i had to become a volunteer because on our relatives were on the front line and they needed our help, everyone is still needed. even a small contribution to the support of the army can help. even a small contribution to the support of the army saves the lives of our soldiers and brings our victory closer. great britain plans to send tanks to ukraine, the country's government said that the support of our country with military technologies is the next
