free people have a choice, choose what you want on megogo. congratulations, this is freedom, lime. my name is vlasta lazur . in the next hour, we will talk about the following personnel rotation in the russian army. supporters of the war often called him guilty of failures at the front ; his decision was criticized by prigozhin and kadyrov.

soledar, if russia succeeds in capturing the city, it will be moscow's biggest achievement after a series of retreats in 2022. how close are russian forces to taking the city? and what do the ukrainian soldiers who are in soledar say? there are pictures from there if you are a civil servant, the vacation of the spokeswoman of the state border service, ivanna plantovska, caused a scandal in social networks, and in addition to my platovska part-time work, her manager, serhiy mul, was criticized for the accusations against his address was analyzed in detail, which, as well as the claims against him, were subordinated to them, see below , the units defending bakhmut soledar will be supplied with ammunition promptly and without interruption, this was announced today in the office of the ukrainian president under the chairmanship of volodymyr zelenskyi, a meeting of the supreme

commander-in-chief was held today, what is the situation in soledar, we we will talk a little later with the military who are directly in the city or on its outskirts. well, against the background of the news about the fierce battles for soledar in the russian military personnel rotation command, the minister of defense of russia serhii shoigu the day before appointed the chief of the general staff valery gerasimov to the commanders of the troops in ukraine, this position was previously held by serhii syrovikin and now only gerasimov's deputy is in surovikin. the appointment of valery gerasimov to the post of commander of the united group of troops may indicate a change in the kremlin's approach to leadership hostilities or an attempt to prepare a new large-scale offensive in 2023, this is stated in the current reports of the institute for the study of war there also note that this rotation has a political purpose both in ukraine and not only in ukraine, they reacted to this reshuffle and how this appointment can change the situation on the battlefield, see in the review of radio svoboda more than three

months of command of russian troops in ukraine and general surovikin is no longer the commander and in his place, the minister of defense of russia, serhii sho, appointed him valery gerasimova personnel changes in russia the authorities explain the alleged expansion of the scope of tasks, the increase in the level of command of the special military operation is connected with the expansion the scope of the tasks to be solved in the course of its implementation, the need for the organization of more test interaction between the types and types of troops of the armed forces, as well as the improvement of the quality of all types of support and the effectiveness of the management of troop groups. general syrovykin was appointed in october. on february 24, the regional center of kherson, so experts do not rule out that the appointment and now the dismissal of syrovykin from the post of commander of the russian troops in ukraine took place for in order to shift the blame for the failure to him, first of all in the eyes of the russians and in the ukrainian general staff, this is considered as a manifestation of the weakness of the enemy's army, the latest personnel changes

first of all indicate that there is a need in their ranks to combine the management system of the army leadership system, not everything worked out in them as they want and we will see how it will be next, the new commander of the russian military in ukraine valery gerasim previously headed the general staff of the russian army. he received a new position against the background of the struggle for soledar and bakhmut in the donetsk region, the russian troops are building an offensive. but in the russian armed forces, this is an increase. let's say this, the position of not only gerasim, but in general the stake, which today is the entire war , the next two or three months will be very important and they will almost be decisive in this battle, and what which we are preparing for, and accordingly our enemy, the aggressor, is preparing personnel decisions, but there are personnel decisions at the institute for the study of

war, experts believe that this is more of a political decision, because the head of the pvk wagner spoke favorably of the appointment of syrovykin prigozhin and chechnya ramzan kadyrov and gerasimova and the ministry of defense, they criticized the promotion of gerasimov is probably partly a political move aimed at weakening the influence of the security forces that oppose me and a signal for prigozhin and other people to reduce their criticism of me ridiculed by putin 's reshuffles adviser to the head of the office and ukraine mykhailo will have to до конца поротум что нравится не нравится beauty in british intelligence have already stated that in their opinion such a decision may indicate an increase in the seriousness of the situation in which russia found itself and consider this decision to be a significant variable in the russian president's approach to the conduct of war roksolana bychay pavlo kholodov radio svoboda well, now we will discuss this appointment on our broadcast ivan preobrazhenskyi

russian political scientist ivan dobry vecher has already joined the broadcast. why would it be? well, i think there are several reasons, part of the reasons are military strategic, part of the reasons are political, military strategic , related to what is the command suryvykin turned out to be unsuccessful in the sense that we failed to recognize his operation, which was designed to organize a humanitarian disaster in ukraine, striking energy infrastructure objects, there are no political consequences, the exact opposite is a sharp increase in military aid from the western allies of ukraine and the transfer of those types of weapons that are not even planned no, the exact opposite result is obtained, taking into account the fact that this will cause a massive, er , number of refugees, a sharp increase in the number of refugees to the european union with ukraine

has secretly failed. what she was obviously trying to achieve is the second story of not a single military achievement in all of this time . kherson was left behind. and there is no compensation and no prospects for getting something similar in the near future. the third story is rumors about the upcoming offensive of the upcoming mobilization. which , according to everything, turn out to be true , not because they are not prepared, but because under the command of a human being, but they could not be implemented, accordingly, now it will not be the full-scale mobilization waves failed to properly distribute those who were mobilized in the previous wave. the situation in makeevka showed how they are distributed in reality. how does it end? accordingly, no benefits have increased . as for political history, this is a transfer of pressure. vladimir putin is returning to what is called when the russian

regular the army that hanged him with his lack of success and the fact that he was apparently poorly listened to at the beginning of the war, now he comes that he comes from listening to regular soldiers instead so that the operation, how did he do it on basically pirates, as i call them, or field commanders, on kadyrov, it is transferred to a conditionally speaking society in which they gave a machine gun. no, but now we see that the beautiful woman is being left behind. in fact, he vomits and tries to re-illustrate how he cheerfully took soledar, and the defense forces russia throws this information. citizens, and the kremlin, through the mouth of the press secretary of the

president, dmitry pyskov, says that he knows nothing about such british citizens. well, i am worryingly clearly showing that he was too active somewhere, there were even rumors that he was going to create his own party, he led some there are no tumultuous negotiations. maybe it is he himself. and maybe it is the other way around. it is also possible to spread rumors that he is going to run for the post of president. and all this activity clearly began to annoy the presidential administration . which, by the way, he also allowed himself to be intercepted, so read it. yes, i would like to clarify directly. putin made such a decision. he would be the president to do it. how was a drug addict, in principle, to

once again remove responsibility from vladimir putin, if even if gerasim day is introduced, you will not succeed, then sergei will be the last one and they will leave together, what putin did at the beginning of the war he was trying, but now, in fact, again, as at the beginning, the double gives ampere blanche, says let’s you now understand the fact that the war is dragging on, and conditional loyalty to the victors does not know how to lead long, protracted wars . this is from a political point of view. or him, somehow, somehow,

somewhere . evgeniy prigozhin is worried. he still thinks that direct contact with the president allows him to introduce himself as he wants. accordingly, if he does not understand, but not him, it will surely start, which means that there will be more severe pressure to the right, the number of violations that even according to russian laws are changing committed during this time a handsome man, i deliver, allows him to be imprisoned for life, well, you 10:15 no, and accordingly, the worst options, as we know in the russian government since 2014, changed сейчас работает 30 chief of the main office, the former main office of intelligence of the general staff, that is, in the game, no two of the previous satisfied third- party circumstances, he died, and that is why people who play all hunting games at the same time ask to build themselves politicians go into politics they risk no less no no more

no less life no and if it is exaggerated it is not understand, i think people will start disappearing around him, people will die , or something like gerasim's writers, he was very private all this time, by the way, unlike cruykin, who immediately began to be shown on tv after his appointment. this was written by the russian ministry of defense , they could have done everything quietly and not draw attention to it, well, in this case, this is a political decision, this is a change in the strategy of launching a war, and this is the return of the secret treaty with the army and loyalty, i suspect that he had a fear that this loyalty could continue to snowball, and some of the actions of the generals are based on the fact that there is a face, if not saturday, that at least there is an obvious reluctance to carry out part of the orders that do not come from their own

command, which they consider to be more or less codified and directly from vladimir putin to his immediate environment, in which general suvoriki in the east is actually general per человек who spent his entire life pr is friends with politicians, this is not to increase their military skills, but military analysts from the institute for the study of war, in today's review, they wrote that i believe that this rotation, on the contrary , will lead to an even greater division between the so-called security forces, the military, and the military. even if you are beautiful, it cannot be ruled out, but i honestly think that, taking into account the fact that the last two months have been at least two months, due to the huge number of related changes of defense and different selfie firms of the ministry of defense are actively involved in the kupala of all those in the inkovs

. there are no propagandists with them, precisely in their own interests, it’s cool there, in the interests of the kremlin or someone else precisely in the corporate interests of sergey puck and valery gerasimov, i suspect that now we will see something else that in principle, no one will repeat this decision because it remains conditional, and i don't know strelkov in the pit and even a few people who are sufficiently unfrozen in order to there is no alternative opinion to be expressed, and all the others will now line up like the soldiers who will file and will support the appointment of gerasimov. i watched it when sergey shagushchev came to the ministry of defense in russia, when they bought all the independent military experts very quickly and built a full-fledged dobryan for the ministry of defense now. of course, there is a price war the above dreams, but in one way or another, it is connected with the state media, there are

no independents with me, there are no corresponding other supposandistas, too, they simply need they don't have an alternative. we cooperate . what do you think, what kind of task did putin set for gerasimov? i think he set two tasks to implement the offensive until the end of the winter. they are going to collect, well, it’s obvious one way or another, they’ll still take bakhmut , but what are you? i trust more than myself and secondly. no, it ’s obvious to restore logistics because the russian army is destroyed. in essence , the geological system is the task of

feeding the children, sending 300,000 to the front, or how many of them were actually mobilized in the first wave of mobilization . half is the maximum of the number that was mobilized and further the situation will only be included if it is not on the appropriate administrative work in this case becomes fundamentally important plus adjust about you, the so-called order, i.e., the supply of new equipment, and here we can accept any kind. by the way, we see how putin himself rushes to various meetings and factories, trying to get the command and the so-called generals to spend more of the military budget. russian what to produce so that they finally started to produce weapons in the right quantities and at the right speed corresponds to this. thank you very much

for the comments. ivan preobrazhensky, a russian political scientist, was on radio svoboda the closest sometimes the russian troops will try to seize the entire territory of the donetsk region, after which they will try to occupy part of the zaporizhia region, this was announced today by the deputy chief of the main operational department of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, brigadier general oleksiy gromov, according to the general staff , russia is also going to form at least 20 new divisions to reach the total number of the army in one and a half millions of people , currently russian troops are most actively storming the soledarna of donetsk region, the founder of wagner's communist party, yevgeny prigozhin, has even announced that the ukrainian side of the surrender of soledar does not confirm that the city was taken by the ukrainian side, at least at this time, and emphasizes that the fighters of the armed forces of ukraine, who used to defend the city, meanwhile , the maxart technology company published satellite images that show the consequences of the battles in soledar. here you can see how the city looked at the beginning of august i what does soledar look like

now, these are the scales of the battles for the city, the battles for soledar in donetsk region have been going on since may or the 22nd of the year and after the capture of severodonetsk and lysychansk of luhansk in july shelling and bombardment of the soledar region have intensified in recent weeks, the fighting in the city has intensified even more . russian mercenaries control part of the city, another part of the ukrainian army. well, here's a comment from the ministry of defense of ukraine: today the heaviest battles continue in the solodar region on the bakhmut direction, despite the difficult situation, ukrainian soldiers are fighting desperately the enemy is trying to successfully break through our defenses and seize soledar, the approaches to the city are suffering heavy losses. today, they are actually littered with the bodies of putin's troops killed if russia succeeds to capture soledar, this will be moscow's greatest achievement after a series of retreats in

the second half of 2022. the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine is told to estimate what percentage of soledar is controlled by the defense forces. and which is incorrect for russia? we have a fresh video from soledar, look at what happened there today, the situation is difficult, well , stable, but we are receiving the enemy, no, no one leaves, the positions are held we give a worthy repulse, the intensity has increased by 70 percent, but in principle, nothing has fundamentally changed, our fighters are holding

the defense, and they are also holding the last situation. comrades of the donetsk region, the fighting continues, that in the last day the russian army has struck the city 91 times and that the defense forces have destroyed more than

100 russian servicemen, but our missile troops and artillery say concentrated their efforts to knock out the enemy as much as possible, in particular, artillery and rockets destroyed more than 100 invaders during the day . this was a direct quote. well, about the situation in donetsk region and about what changes on the battlefield to expect from the personnel rotation of the russian army, we will talk further. i have already joined the broadcast. by phone, i understand because of problems with video communication ivan stupak, military expert of the ukrainian institute of the future good evening expects that in the near future russian troops will try to seize the entire territory of the donetsk region and after that they will allegedly try to occupy part of the zaporizhzhia region, but well, these are quite ambitious plans. i think the plans in general are how do you assess how realistic it is to implement them and during which part of which and which period

of time russia might plan this, well, taking into account that they plan to increase their army there to one and a half thousand 1.5 million people, that's right , it's in parts, in principle, there are already no answers, see, uh, the second army of the world. how did it position itself, it 's more fighting around, nothing at all. they decided to change, you decided to go to us and in this way, i can do it, i'll interrupt you for a minute. let's try to connect with you again now by phone, because the connection is bad . well , secondly, the ukrainian command in the general staff announced that in the near future russia

is going to occupy the entire donetsk region and after that take on the zaporizhzhia region, how realistic are such plans and what perspective might russia have for a while to fulfill such a task, we will talk about it further. well, we will also discuss how personnel rotations in the russian military command can affect the situation in particular and in soledar and in ukraine in general. well, we just talked about this personnel rotation with ivan preobrazhenskyi, a russian political scientist. in his opinion er, this personnel rotation is primarily aimed at sending messages to weaken the influence of yevgeny prigozhina, whose residents are now fighting in soledar, and after what the experts probably say, putin could give valery a task gerasimov to intensify the offensive and possibly restore order with logistics and weapons and mobilization and resume the offensive

in 2023. this year, i will remind you once again that according to the opinion and approval of absolutely all ukrainian military leaders and political leaders, the goals of the kremlin as well as before that remains the occupation of ukraine and the occupation of kyiv. i understand that we cannot yet connect with ivan stupak, we will return to him in a few minutes. meanwhile, the report from kherson after leaving kherson in in november, russian troops began regularly shelling the city and the part of the region controlled by the ukrainian authorities. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, moscow has denied a targeted attack on civilians in kherson, despite the presence of evidence and evidence to the contrary, see on january 6, the russians shelled a fire station in kherson. this is the

second shelling in a row. yesterday, another area was shelled the fire department today in another district, one person was killed as a result of shelling, there are injured and injured employees of the state emergency service, they killed them this morning another person who saves lives, who does not fight with a weapon in his hands, a person who is a savior , that is, an employee of the state emergency service, also four workers were injured as a result of the brutal shelling of the fire department, where the equipment for saving people is located, this is the reality today in the city of kherson, yesterday part of the fire department was fired upon today they fired the second part personally after a single shot, after

5 minutes, it came out of here. this is my house, we went out and the shelling began. this is where we saw the rockets fly. how long have i been? no, she just flew to us with a happy holiday to us, a happy christmas. they congratulated us so much. well, now we are left without a house, without a roof in the yard, homeless people, what they are doing to us is destroying, destroying what was built for years. with love, what did you think children and grandchildren will live, but now where are the children the grandchildren are already going to live on these ashes because the whole house has collapsed, everything is in the water, everything is gone. slav 9 o'clock

, shelling began at the workplace, i heard debris falling on the roof, there were customers in the store, i drove everyone into the store, closed the blinds, i asked something like this somehow, god forbid, shards and asked that no one hurt such a person, i lay down on the floor and covered my head, because i didn't know what to do, whether to run home or stay here, i just took what today at nine o'clock in the morning after putin called today to make a day of silence to such a state that the house of my neighbors was brought to such a state. there is no faith, there will be no faith, there will never be faith, no, no, to whom from that side, and especially on this putin, bolshoi and flamenny privet, there will be no peace from their

side. faith no one will ever believe in their lie that they said that they would not shoot well, literally just now i see messages coming in about the situation in soledar , mercenary fighters, russian mercenaries from the wagner pvc continue to claim that the city is completely captured by the russian army. so far, there are no official data and official information from the ukrainian side regarding this issue literally tonight, volodymyr zelensky was gathering the stake of the supreme commander-in-chief just under the focus of the discussion there was the situation in the bakhmut direction, they talked about the soldiers, about bakhmut and then volodymyr zelenskyy said that the office of the president actually promised. they said that the units that defend these cities are meant to be

bahmuts . come from partners, and the president also said that the successors considered the issue of strengthening the defense forces with the help of weapons equipment, which, as i said, come from partners and which are in service in of the ukrainian army, we are talking about the situation in soledar, literally for the fourth, if not the fifth day in a row, heavy fighting is going on there, today, again, they talked about it in the ukrainian armed forces of ukraine, and, as i said, the soldiers of prigozhin are reporting again at least they write
