the crosshairs of our attention heavy fighting is taking place in the city says the ministry of defense of ukraine and western media quoting the ukrainian military is wondering whether it makes sense to receive soledar at the cost of heavy losses. read more about this in svoboda life, because there is soledar outside the city of donetsk oblast, and the statements of the russian military reports about the capture of soledar are not true, the armed forces of ukraine announced today, the deputy minister of defense, hanna malyar, reported that the russian troops were unable to capture the city of soledar. in the ukrainian defense on this part of the front last night, the founder of the wagner pvk, yevgeny prigozhyn, said that the mercenary units took control of the entire territory of prigozhyn's saudar even published photos of the alleged soledar salt mines in the department of strategic communications of the armed forces of ukraine, these photos

were called an information and psychological operation, they said that the photo was taken not in the soledar mines, but in a cave in the volodymyrivka area of ​​the donetsk region, which is controlled by the leaders of the dpr group. moscow also does not officially confirm prigozhin's report about capture of soledar the ministry of defense announced this morning that russian paratroopers blocked soledar from the north and south, and fighting is going on inside the city about the battles in the city, radio svoboda confirmed yesterday evening in the svoboda battalion, whose fighters are in the direction of bakhmut, one of them, lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine yevhen ropai , joined us directly from the trench live, according to him, the russian forces are 3-4 times greater in our direction where the svoboda battalion is part of the fourth brigade of the operational assignment of the national guard, this is the prevailing force three to four times , that is, there can be six to seven infantry assaults per day, these are small groups, small groups of five to seven servicemen

who are going to be tested by battle. that is, they are sent as cannon fodder. that is, they are sent forward lightly armed there , only with machine guns . the same corpses are walking on top of these corpses and storming our positions again. well, the american television company cnn published a detailed account of the conversation with a ukrainian paratrooper from soledar, whose name the journalists are not naming for security reasons. he told what happened in soledar. a large gray area and no one can yet say what exactly each of the parties controls, he also told cn that the situation i am quoting is critical and the number of dead is so high that no one is counting them soledar, let me remind you, is located near the city of bakhmut, which is obviously the main tactical goal of the russian capture army russian forces in soledar will not mean that bakhmut will be surrounded, this is stated in the

current review of the american institute for the study of war . the deputy commander of the freedom battalion, lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine, volodymyr nazarenko, joins the broadcast. good evening. good evening, studio. good evening, tv viewers . brigades of the national guard we will continue to stand and defend the bakhmut direction in the bakhmut direction and what our brothers what we know is happening in solidarity requires a certain informational silence really in the enemy's tactics are very terrible, very unpleasant, they don't consider their people as people. they use three mercenaries, these scoundrels, wagnerites, disposable , very cheap soldiers, cheap in the literal sense , because ah-ah on their typing on their

training on their er-e there even food is not allocated large resources to them. they simply issued a machine gun, this side in the state without body armor, without helmets and sent to battle. the fields of the villages all around bakhmut in the direction of bakhmut. all of them are white trash with these 200 mercenaries and mods whom no one counts, whom no one evacuates, and we clearly know for sure that even the wounded and seriously wounded enemy is trying to leave in place for in order not to use up resources for their evacuation. that is, well, actually, there is such a thing, what is happening in solidarity is repeated, it requires informational activity and silence . let the ukrainian army do its work, and we are talking about several

kilometers, if it is even possible, less than the territory, that is, solidar, unfortunately, it cannot be called a city, because the enemy, what kind of bakhmut, what kind of solidarity did this tactic with a water rampart and the shots that you would like to show now? soon there will not be a whole brick left from the amount of ammunition and the amount of artillery that is really there. as yevgenia rapai also said, the enemy is using live tactics, that is, they are sending a group of one-time suicide bombers . what are their only two tasks in the first thing to detect these suicide bombers is not a decoy , to detect our firing points, and the second is to send a signal in any way where they stopped in such a way that the next group already knows there

is a certain starting point for them , from which they must then try to advance to the enemy - this does not bring anything in addition to huge losses, i will repeat that every day in the direction of bahamian, the enemy numbers up to a thousand, 200, i.e. imagine the pace of dynamics and the horror of this war, what is happening here, what is happening in the xxi century in 2023 in the ukrainian donbas a-a it is similar to how the bloody marshals of the soviet union of the same occupier of muscovy a-a threw thousands of soldiers into battle, tens of thousands of fine bat soldiers, the same thing, they want to repeat the same success in the bahamian direction , come on to speak clearly, the enemy has realized that he cannot form the bakhmut flock, that is, he is suffering huge losses, and the advance does not have a very effective

dynamic defense in our country. role because a sniper can stop a breakthrough with one bullet, one mortar - one gun, one artillery can stop an attack to a battalion, that is, both armor and fire can be stopped . will mean the encirclement of the city of bakhmut, and in fact, let us simulate if the russian forces do take soledar under their control, does this really mean the encirclement of bakhmut, or is it still not the case if if you look at the front line, it is equal , there are no formations there that meant a certain threat to the environment, there are no uh, moreover, the main communications, the main roads that

supply the bahamian group, they are under the control of the ukrainian army and not even under the fire control of the enemy, that is, the city can be safely entered, you can safely provide humanitarian aid assistance in the evacuation of local residents is happening calmly, and what i am saying is what is happening now, the resources, the forces that the enemy threw at solidar, he can, i just want to get a few square kilometers of territory is not even a city because, i repeat, the city no longer has the appropriate amount of artillery, which was in behan, which the enemy used, equalizing, simply , equalizing, show the shots correctly, liberating every building, every homestead, every every meter of this land, and with what success would they they could simply drive under a machine gun to any field ten to hundreds of thousands of their criminals and shoot the same thing, they are

actually driving these cattle to both what to do in the ukrainian army, the ukrainian army and ukrainian society must show patience to prepare to train to understand that we have to defeat the body not only that we have to defeat the enemy with preparation, skills, equipment, intelligence and high technologies, i repeat, war is a war of technologies now and first of all, the one who is better equipped wins the one who destroys the enemy more and more from below the manpower, vladimir, you said that even if you simulate the situation, if i understood you correctly, and the russian troops will take control of soledar, that is, it is fortified , that is, there is no direct danger. you also you state that the city of soledar has been destroyed and we can also see it on the footage. then i have a question . is there any point in fighting for soledar at the cost

of heavy losses ? he told them why die for a quote if we still leave soledar today and tomorrow for you to say it our task is to learn to destroy the enemy faster than they supply and transport new mercenaries, recruit new mercenaries and mobilize new cheap ones soldiers, what, what is happening in these mordovian swamps, now, first, second, is it worth holding or not, everything is for dar and any other fortified point or defense, the defensive line - this is, i repeat, the task of the general staff, the task of the command, and not here it is their competence to comment, it is necessary to maintain informational hygiene, yes, yes, break and destroy the enemy as much as possible, break his offensive potential where possible, as it is possible in this or that

dynamic defense, we can already say and state that the enemy was not able to take bakhmut by storm what is happening on the northern and southern outskirts - this is an attempt by the enemy to bypass which we also see with the resources that the enemy is throwing and we see that he has thrown almost everything he has at the front at us, in principle, what actually, in other lessons, including not that everyone from this front, but bakhmut, it is observed to compose, then they are those masculinities that provide them there, well , everyone is now thrown into the front trenches in order to create species from their rich , in fact, the potals were naskal and you clearly we know that these are crime commanders, commanders of partner occupations, and paratroopers in part of the assault units and regular armed forces of the russian federation. in other

directions, they simply shout and beg for reinforcements, and they are not given it, because all they have is now they are sent to solar and it brings them success in a certain way, because we can already talk about the fact that the enemy well will try to throw resources in order to go around from the south and from the north, but well, i repeat, i hope for the success of the sick enemy, this will not bring it, this is already a certain new stage of the battle by bah, because the ukrainian army won the first phase of the battle for its own, destroying up to ten thousand, maybe even so, volodymyr, i have one more question, eh, you are the same military man, you are always saying that it is worth keeping quiet, informational hygiene, and so on, but i note that several groups of international journalists also work in the direction of soledar and they openly write about what is happening there, so you will still not be able to save the same military man with

whom the cnn journalists spoke. he said that with on the part of ukraine, there are also very large losses, literally , this is his quote, not mine, he says that no one counts the dead. what do you say about this? well, i can't say that because i'm sure for the armed forces of ukraine and for, well, for the units for the national guard kozyn e- who is and this is their hero eh this is an unconditional hero and we will establish the memory of each of our heroes eh that's why i will doubt these words that the great one was lost and from the ukrainian side in terms of the fact that he somehow pretends to have lost in eh it's really a war and nobody insured against well actually there were no soldiers and there was no risk, but i repeat

for us every soldier is a hero and the priority of the command, in particular our team , what i can say as a testimony is the preservation of the life and health of our soldiers and our brothers in a new way, really, very extremely difficult, unfortunately, there is a loss, when it happens again, the enemy loses more frosts , and well, this coefficient of enemy losses should be such that the enemy simply does not wipe out, build replenishment very briefly very briefly let me ask you what you need simply now and in order for the ukrainian forces of the ukrainian army to turn the situation in their favor, i can only speak now about the needs of our battalion, and the fact that, in principle, we are now holding the situation, so that the initiative in our area is ours, give us as many copters as possible with ammunition and we will destroy the enemies just not by the dozens per day, but by the

hundreds per day, just so that they, as soon as the ukrainian army will now have so much artillery, armored vehicles, er, in particular , ammunition, so that the pressure is just so great i was on the occupier that they are just running away, you know, i will give you an example , today i will not name a specific place, but due to the density of the aim of the fire today, some enemy positions were forced to retreat, what we saw was that they were leaving their wounded , even especially evacuation for work, and if this will already happen on the scale of a 30-40-kilometer zone there, you know that, uh, and a dynamic initiative. if it is behind us, then the enemy will simply be defeated, and not only in the kharkiv direction, in the kherson direction, but actually in the donetsk region

direction volodymyr, thank you very much, i wish you stability, volodymyr nazarenko, deputy commander of the freedom battalion, a lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine, tuned in to us live from soledar or near his approaches, thank you very much. well, we also have operational news to share with you. statements about the capture of the city of soledar in donetsk region, in particular to support the mobilization and give hope to the citizens of russia, volodymyr zelenskyi stated this in his literally evening address. he says that russia and its propagandists are trying to pretend that some part of the soledar is already the property of russia, they are selling it and serving it to their society in order to support the mobilization and give hope to those who support this aggression. today on the air i quoted

cnn journalists who are currently near the soledar of donetsk region. they write about what is going on fiercely there, because they are the fiercest , they write and uh, but the journalists state that the ukrainian troops feel confident and are not going to leave the city, fighting for their comrades shows how important it is to strengthen military support for ukraine in the war against russia, nato secretary general genstoltenberg also stated this today as an example. he mentioned the latest announcement by the usa, france, germany that these countries will soon will hand over infantry fighting vehicles and light tanks later, by the way, today it became known that for the first time kyiv can receive heavy tanks, in particular from warsaw, we will talk about this soon well, judging by the report of the military, in particular those who are currently in the direction of bakhmut, they lack weapons, including the head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, military expert serhii

kuzan , joins the broadcast. events develop over the next few days, or maybe even hours, here it is clear that the fighting is extremely fierce and it is necessary to understand that the whole of soledar is a solid gray zone and positions can move several times a day from one side to the other, i.e. the buildings and individual quarters in the near future, of course, this intensity of fighting will continue. but the most important thing is that our defenders hold their positions, destroy the enemy, that is, they fulfill their main task of inflicting as much damage on the enemy as possible as many losses as possible and already troops, and this task is undoubtedly being handled by the defenders exactly as i asked the previous speaker , volodymyr nazarenko, is there any point in keeping the

ukrainian armies soledar, we know examples when the ukrainian army left populated areas to save the lives of the soldiers. is this the same case or not at the moment? well, here the same command will be determined and that is how it is based on these considerations of saving the lives of the soldiers. that is, we do not fight the way the russians fight, they just overwhelm wave after wave. our positions with their cannon fodder and until that time it will be profitable, that is, as long as we inflict greater losses on the enemy, until that time we will be in soledar, but in general this city is not of any strategic importance that is, it is a small town. it is located in a lowland, it is quite inconvenient in terms of strategy, so our command here will decide when or whether to continue to clear soledar from the enemy or, on the contrary

, to withdraw to pre-prepared positions. soledar by russian troops will not mean that the city of bakhmut will be surrounded. do you share this thesis? well, in general, if we simulate that the russian army will take control of soledar, what will this mean? for bakhmut, for bakhmut - this will mean nothing, because bakhmut and the surrounding villages are a separate fortified area, that is, soledar has nothing. well, it is not directly tied to bakh , but it is generally accepted to call this direction bakhmut, that is, this aspect of bakhmut soledar is therefore here for the defenders bahmut, this does not play a direct threat. well, at the same time, the battles for soledar , that is, for these positions, they will

be fighting, and soledar is prigozhin 's last chance. before the kremlin and what's next well, if they justify themselves before the kremlin, if they show some success in the soledar, what will this mean specifically for the wagners or for prigozhin or for further prospects in their participation in the war, and in principle nothing because there have been personnel changes, that is, there have been arrangements and i have now they have a russian as the new commander of these united forces, and this means that the role has already been decided in advance, that is, it must be understood that he promised the passers-by several times and publicly promised his kremlin curators that he tried to take someone to attack bakhmut head-on, he tried to go around from the

south, none of these ideas succeeded, and therefore he re -concentrated his efforts and efforts. by the way , the russian regular units and their artillery in a much smaller city and in much less favorable positions. so it can be said that the plan and the promise made to take bakhmut completely failed, as he actively reports in telegram channels that his mercenary troops allegedly took soledar, and the ministry of defense of russia is silent, does not confirm prigozhin’s words, and they seem to together well, of course, it's like together and here, everyone understands that this is actually his last chance to at least somehow correct the situation, and that's why he sends wave after wave to slaughter his fighters in order to at least take a

picture somewhere, er, in the center against the background of some building well, but later again, all these units retreated to other positions, they were knocked out by our defense forces. so prigozhin is trying to form an image of some kind of victory in the information field, or at least at least a partial advance in the city of soledar, but yes in fact, this has not been confirmed by any official channels, even by the same propagandists of the russian federation, and their ministry of defense is silent because soledar is not under the control of the occupying forces, and uh, and the success uh, about which privoden himself speaks, in fact, it does not exist, and here you are partially already mentioned about these personnel reshuffles in the russian army, but today it became known that valery syrovikin was removed from the position of commander of the united group of troops in ukraine and a

chief was allegedly appointed to this position of the general staff of russia valery gerasimova and surovykin is now his deputy, what do these personnel rotations tell you about and where is prigozhyn 's place here, if there is one at all? to the extent that prigozhin and kadyrov acted as information killers of latina and, again , the same gerasimov gerasimov, that is, they fought informationally, called them incompetent commanders and said that if give prigozhin the resources of the russian army, then he will quickly correct the situation, therefore, with the help of syrobika, these resources of the russian troops were given to him. he gathered the largest part of the artillery there. it was the best

artillery. so, now we understand that the cream thus punished this very good siroidikin kadyrov and began to return again those who were recently in disgrace , that is, gerasimov, the same latin and again that his minister of defense they again found themselves, so to speak, at the helm of this military operation. what is the point in such a personnel rotation, well, in the mentioned gerasim's cheese kind, they did not show themselves in the best way for putin, that they did not fulfill their one minimal task, that is, taking bakhmut, taking bakhmut should have become an example for the entire russian the army says how to fight and how to take cities in donetsk region. and i will remind you that bakhmut was not a target at all. well, the goal of the occupying forces is to reach the

administrative borders of donetsk and also as possible in the luhansk region. so, for four months, the commanders spent the same severe weekend in their positions, but during this time he did not manage to solve any of the tasks that each of them faced. and of course, they are from kadyrov . therefore, it is actually removed and these old russian generals return to the helm again. for us, this does not change anything in particular, this and some of our other enemies, but now we understand that the cadre russian generals are again at the helm and this it means that it is obvious that their confrontation within these two groups will only increase and how in prigozhin's place he would have already worried about his life, thank you very much for your comment serhii kuzan, head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, a military expert

was on radio liberty well, we will show the video as the ukrainian military and the 43rd separate artillery brigade of the armed forces of ukraine near soledar are using german panzer howitzers against the russian army. look when the automatics are working. the rate of fire is incredible. it shoots very fast. very accurate, if you do it right, it shoots incredibly accurately, for the first time this equipment is seriously fighting in ukraine, it has not fought anywhere before, it fought in afghanistan, but in afghanistan there were completely different conditions, it

is here now, in practice, it shows its capabilities, what it can do, and uh, i want to say that these are good, good equipment, good guns, well , that is, the tanks will be shot through literally just yesterday at the end of this thesis, you could have put a question mark and
