and they can announce it. unfortunately , officials are sometimes in a hurry and that harms our combat work. at this stage, it is exactly the case that we will not be from these villages until this village. they will be harmed at the moment. well, we will wait for official information on this matter. you know, i still want to ask now, well, it is not that calm , but the situation. this is happening now, the armed forces of ukraine. well, from what we can say, this is er- regrouping, certain, more equipment is possible, er, reformatting of parts is suitable, other parts are suitable. zaporizhzhia oblast is ready for, well, actually

fighting constantly, but also preparing for new tasks, please, our work will not exactly consist in the fact that we continue stabilization measures, there is still a lot of work to be done and we continue counterbatteries for countermeasures exactly due to the fact that the southern front line, in particular , now runs along a water obstacle such as the dnieper. at this stage, this is the main type of work from combat work, it is the exhaustion of the enemy in his rear trenches where they are trying to set up positions for future defense where they are trying to set up points basing points , ammunition storage points, equipment repair points , our messenger cottonmouth is constantly working there, who from time to time forces them to change deployment locations, in addition, there are a lot of conversations about where from and where to go at the moment

units of the armed forces of ukraine will be moving, in which direction they will work, i will remind everyone that informing the enemy about this will harm our work. therefore, please wait for the actual advance of our troops and when we determine the direction in which we are working and in which we have results, we will discuss together, i will also ask e- i am reading again about the fact that allegedly from porto, well, in the russian, if not understood , well, russian, ah, russian ships came out, among them there was a large landing ship and they were moving in the direction of the occupied crimea or similar ships appeared in the area of ​​visibility , so to speak, of ukrainian e-e means, what is the threat today, perhaps some kind of amphibious amphibious threat to porto odesa, let's say , or for our ports, let's say western odesa , that today the enemy is not focusing on these areas we still hope for guarantees of the international level, for guarantees

of partnership with, in particular, and with regard to the provision of the black sea and grain initiative where turkey and the united nations are the guarantors. therefore, while the grain corridors are working, there is a certain e a guarantee of security for the ports themselves although it is not absolute given what kind of enemy we are dealing with and we understand that missile attacks in particular and preparation for them in the form of reconnaissance by unmanned aerial vehicles are directed from the sea to the coastline, including she can testify just about the preparation of such terrorist acts, they cannot be called otherwise, we are talking about the fact that the critical infrastructure of the whole of ukraine may be at risk if a missile attack is used again. it must be mass, it can be point

strikes, it can also be wave-like attacks when missiles of different plans of different applications, i.e. air -based, sea-based, including from submarines, which complicates the work of air defense, including tronovate, will be mixed together. i thank you very much for joining. thank you for your comments natali humenyuk was with us the head of the press center of the security and defense forces and operational command south. three always says what can be said, you know, it is important in the current situation, because actually ukraine is now, well, we are all ukrainians, we are all following the events at the front. maybe there is an exception. maybe someone is not interested. i do n't know. a lot of information is coming in, someone is sowing treason, someone is sowing panic, someone is screaming, everyone is running away, someone is screaming, everyone is advancing. we were abandoned, we were deceived, and people who, in one

way or another, chose a certain trust or the right to speak for themselves, you know now they will not weigh words for grams, although in reality such situations words should be very carefully considered, because not only that, what you say may turn out to be untrue , especially if it concerns, er, bakhmut or soledar, today we will talk more about it with serhiy zgurets, if this is brought out by the team, you can harm you can well, that is, this is wrong, you have to filter everything and trust reliable sources and have patience to wait for them. he is in yuriy. i congratulate you, i congratulate the studio. i was not wrong when i said that you are in donetsk region now , it is a bakhmut direction. i will not say much then, even with words. please tell me about the situation there, from what you can say from what you know, please in this part of the fund, where my unit is located, the situation is quite difficult, but

it is in positional combat operations, the enemy is trying to organize assault operations, but because of what we see, we always respond to his actions more easily, the enemy's attempts failed, we failed we give a decent repulse, i would like to say that the enemy's positions are covered with pipes, even their own in order to create such false positions, and they are used, i say, by their own military personnel, posing as mannequins. say whatever dear today, what is the most difficult in the confrontation in this particular battle, which is the one that you are talking about, which is all of us , for which we are all watching every measure in our capabilities, what is the most difficult and

most difficult in the battle with the enemy and whether it succeeds in the course of the battle, do you know something to learn to change tactics somewhere, that is, isn’t it me ? this battle is now an opportunity to change the tactics of the introduction of battles. to somewhere deceive the enemy, somewhere to outwit him, somewhere to overtake him, please, well, first of all, of course, having already studied the enemy’s tactics, his insidious actions when he tries to consult at night their forces and then er take assault actions moving in such waves er with such attempts from different sides to come er to us and from the flangist er betrayal of this to avoid such situations intelligence is constantly working constantly working er posts notification and managed to find full cooperation with

other units right away, the artillery is working on specific targets and, as they say, we are giving the enemy a chance to raise his head to move forward . that the temperature there was low , well, they say that there should be a warming, but now we know about cases of, let's say, frostbite. well, because there is no time to go there to warm up, because they are traveling in a constant position, you have to keep uh, what's the matter the biggest difficulty now is what the soldiers needed in order to protect themselves in terms of physical warmth. are there any other things that would be necessary now? please share. yes, the steppe weather is here, the winds are cold, piercing and frosty. the temperature has risen a little, but still, it is like this. winds that blow in the opposite direction and of

course warm things, eh, all the devices that help soldiers to warm up, or various heaters, a variety of such eh, mini equipment there, mini-mini boilers, mini-generators so that you can warm yourself and your position to give an opportunity to rest all this is extremely necessary, of course, you need tools to set up positions, such as those that worked in conditions when the earth died, because all this well, of course, we count on generators so that we can warm up and ensure communication, i'll be very brief i will ask the question whether the enemy uses certain psychological moments when advancing and whether

the ukrainian army manages to use certain psychological moments to either frighten or disorient the enemy well, let's talk about what the armed forces are doing we won't to speak and does the enemy use something similar? well, to intimidate him there or otherwise, there are cases when he dresses up in our mood and under the pretext that it is supposedly our units are going there for reinforcements . certain markings, we understand where ours is and where the others are and we react to it in a timely manner, regardless of the fact that the enemy is acting insidiously, after all, we use uh, first of all, uh, we already have enough experience at the factory, there are modern samples of weapons which are provided to us by our partners and all this enables us

to restrain the enemy and beat him, thank you very much yury korsunov, the officers of the izyum battalion and the defense of donetsk region, the bakhmut direction, mr. yuryu, take care of yourself now in the area where the further course of this war is largely decided about the war, the further progress and the situation in the last week, in less than a minute we will talk with serhiy zgurts, art in the country of war, a series of documentaries, each of which will tell about one of the ukrainian artists , artists who did not go abroad and continue their creative path in ukraine , the impression is that history just entered now, and at some such moment where everything just gathered into it as linearly, so what happened there that we remember then, there was some kind of drag, and as if it is now all in one moment and we see that well, everything

repeats itself, but how the place and meaning of the artist and his work change. in a country at war, see in the new tv series from the docnotfield studio and the babylon 13 association, art in a country at war from january 16 on weekdays from monday to friday sunday at 11:10 for espresso and time for the military summaries of the day with me at the map of hostilities serhii collects from the director agency of defense express serhiy congratulations i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers and about how the situation at the front has changed during the day and during this week about this in a moment, so today as during the last week hot spots on the front, the hottest spots on the front were bakhmut, and now luhansk regions are seeing bakhmut. and so bakhmut and soledar at the beginning of january, russia is trying at

all costs to take soledar, using for these different forces and means in two weeks of fighting , they went pretty far deep into the city, at least we have this information, it is also on its outskirts, what is the situation in the city now ? moreover, today, starting from the morning , betrayal by individual figures who said that the city should be taken began to spread by the russians well, referring of course to russian information, first of all we can really talk about the fact that there is an information war going on around the soldiers and a real military war, because really when we talk about the information component russia itself once again announced that the soldier is under their control, in particular , the well-known spokesman for the ministry of defense of the aggressor , general poroshenko, said that the soldier was actually under russian control, but let me remind you that the same komashenko mentioned that they destroyed four bmps, which we even did not receive, but in any case, the situation related to soledar is completely different, because we are now going to the statements of

our officials without, in particular, the spokesman of the eastern command serhiy cherevaty said that the city is under ukrainian control, the situation there is difficult, but we understand that in fact the enemy really managed to squeeze into soledar, it is possibly located in its central part and overlooks the western borders of this city, because in fact during this period of time, during the hostilities, the enemy managed to capture yakovlevka this is actually such a settlement that overhangs soledar from the north, and it is actually the dominant heights that allow you to fire at soledar from the flank, and the next soledar from the south happens in the same way in fact, these ticks around solda create a rather complicated situation for our groups that defend this city, and we are talking about the fact that there is a large gray area in the soldar itself, and this does not allow us to clearly determine where exactly the line of

control between the arxist troops and the ukrainian troops is located today, by the way, we saw a video of a ukrainian military man who literally showed it from a copter. it was around lunchtime. today, the video was updated. well, he asked his brother what time you said it was 14:13. he showed this church. the central part of the city, and our troops are acting here, so he says do not succumb to russian provocations. actually, trust the information from official officials , so we think that the situation is really difficult . paratroopers because the russians used paratroopers precisely to ensure these directions regarding the coverage of the soldier, there are two short questions as a gift, i will ask, do you know about the question that is circulating on the network because not all people they understand the tactics of the strategy and the general understanding of the operational situation in the combat

zone. well, everyone thinks that we can hide there in the middle mines. they have a length of 200 km, i understand, or let's say, if we get out of there, why can't we get out of there, such signs say well, or the russians will sit in these mines, then we will not feed them from there at all, the soldier is such a mini copy of the odesa katakom, so you can fight there for a very long time. well, we would have seen it for a very long time. azovstal well, there were encirclements the troops in particular. but do they play any role? these are the mines today in the combat aspect . well, in fact, they play a special role because there are exits from the mines in different parts of the city. it is possible that our opponents could use them. by the way, in those strong mines , at one time, stocks of weapons were stored. which we took out from there before the war, but we understand that, first of all, this does not affect the tactics of the enemy, we understand that the actual width of this front line is about 2 km, the enemy has concentrated a significant number of personnel and precisely because of advantages in numbers in the actions of these, let's say yes

, from the assault actions of small groups that constantly push our defenses and the actions of artillery precisely on a difficult part of the front, we tried to push through our defenses, which gave certain results, but we understand that this tactic is quite costly for the enemy and when we get soledar, we will in fact tie down a significant number of russian forces who actually threw here as well as evangelical paratroopers who are actually dying there and are actually in combat operations and under bakhmut and under soledar, the number of enemy casualties is already greater than it was at severodonetsk and lysichansk, so that the suppression of the enemy's forces is one of the tasks of our defense of our brigades, which actually hold the entire section of the front. and in technology, if we are talking about artillery, it has a certain role under the soledar, it is clearly just like under the bahmat, or there

we bought more of the ratio of forces, it is difficult to determine because we understand that if we we are destroying a significant amount of the enemy's force, the enemy is still pulling up this manpower and the wagnerites quickly enough, and then, with such a rate of destruction, it is difficult to determine exactly how much the enemy really pulled up, but the same place of defense, when he mentioned the rate of combat losses of the enemy, he said that the enemy was losing during the day from 500 to 700 people, by the way. just today, today's indicator of 740 wanted was destroyed by ukrainian weapons , according to him, the indicators of ukrainian losses are an order of magnitude lower, but we understand that here the relationship to losses is important, if the enemy does not consider executions, they are of no importance to him, then the issue of acceptable losses for the ukrainian side is another aspect - it is just possible that the behavior of our general staff will determine the decision of whether to withdraw its troops from soledar or continue to leave them there or and continue to receive these infernal combat operations where we are

forced to hold back these overwhelming enemy forces, by the way, we are now moving to bahmut vysochanska, the armed forces of ukraine entrenched themselves in belgorodka and since then continue to shell enemy positions, and from belgorodka it has already passed since the spring, in fact, so we did not move from there. - to resolve these issues well, of course , to provide our fighters with the forces and means to resolve these issues again on the bakhmut battlefield, what is the situation there, because now of course all attention has shifted to well, to soledar, because soledar was not from the beginning the main goal of the russians. will bakhmut manage to hold out? maybe there is some kind of respite there now, whether it is small or not, or whether it is still going on there, it really says that the actual tough situation in soldar is an echo of the enemy's offensive. to bakhmut because actually the enemy was not able to penetrate into bakhmut with frontal

attacks and is now just trying to go around to bakhmut from the south and from the north. of those routes that provide the logistics city of bakhmut e now e i think that in parallel with the actions in the direction of salder, the enemy will intensify combat operations in the direction of ticks and ticks, this is actually a populated place, a town located south of e-e bakhmut. now we see on on this map, where the enemy will try to move, let's say, to this one more route that provides bakhmut or from kostyantynivka to to to bakhmut now or through the tick zone where the enemy should go through the tick and then move to this route in the direction times ravine, but there the area rises up there there are fortified positions. i think that there

will also be hot hostilities, which are actually ongoing and now, and it is very important in principle to ensure that the advance of the enemy is minimal, because in principle this carries risks, let's say cutting a series of logistical routes that provide bakhmut as well as an important point to point of our defense if we assume a worse option in the event of an organizational withdrawal of our troops from soledar, what might the reserve plan of the armed forces of ukraine be and is it already ready or not again, there is an understanding of that because you know such words, we hope, we believe, we pray, it is beautiful. it must be an understanding of how the armed forces operate, what possibilities, what means, what possibilities, the means may appear tomorrow the day after tomorrow. in three days to a month. well, it will be like it's late, but you want an understanding of this. do you think there is a backup plan for moving to other positions? such a plan always exists. because when we hold , let's say, the defense, we understand that this is the main defense position. the backup

defense positions and their defense lines can be a few and actually when we talk about the soledar situation and the development of the situation, for now, if we rely on the statements of the general staff, we continue the defense and destroy the enemy's manpower, which is important at the current stage . is still going on in fact and now we understand that it is about obtaining this line of siversk e.e. soledar bakhmut, the main line of defense that we have today, and then if we assume a scenario that we put in the basis of hostilities the understanding that the enemy sufficiently destroyed, further to receive soledar for the fact that the place is completely destroyed does not make sense, then under the deterrence by the enemies, we also implement a gradual withdrawal, the withdrawal is actually quite a difficult maneuver because it is necessary to hold the enemy and make

the transition to reserve positions such reserve positions as we we understand, let's say so optimally, in fact, they are going exactly along the line that is now shown on the map a little further beyond the bakhmutka river. and actually this is the new line of defense. it runs along the dominant heights, which significantly complicate the enemy's further advance because now it is better for me that the enemy acts as a soldier, actively using manpower with a minimum amount of defensive equipment, then if this manpower will move further, it will actually come under the active fire of our artillery, which is significantly more difficult is the further advance, and we also understand that actually all this the line that is marked on the map there is closed by kostiantynivka will actually be the next line of our defense, but we are talking about the scenarios as the most pessimistic if we are talking about the fact that we will continue to hold the enemy by using all the reserves, we understand that the

general staff must find a certain balance because the correct use of reserves is actually one of the components of any prerequisites for the conduct of hostilities and success on the battlefield. by the way, this is an eloquent testimony this is in my opinion. perhaps you do not correct or discuss the fact that the enemy does not have enough strength and means to carry out full-scale hot actions on all areas of the front. the fact that we are now talking about the main thing about bakhmut and soldiers shows that it is time when the south of ukraine, let's say there, kharkiv region, luhansk region, well, luhansk region, evil is more about it, less is being talked about because there is a certain calm there now, but now the southern region will appear on the map, we are talking about zaporizhzhia and, above all, kherson region, we are part of mykolaiv region, and we will talk about what the enemy is planning an offensive. it seems that there is one more direction from the south. well, isn't this the fact that the thief raised two villages , dorozhnyanka and myrne, which were in the gray zone for a long time? as far as i understand, we are talking about

zaporizhzhia region is this the beginning of the offensive or is there some other plan to exaggerate ? so, here are the ears of the settlements of dorozhnyanka and myrne. information about this appeared today on the air of our espresso channel, where a representative of the zaporizhia regional council said that these settlements are apparently occupied by the enemy before they were in the gray zone but in any case, the conclusion here is that the zaporizhia front is slowly beginning to revive , it is that the enemy is saturating this section of the front, which is sufficiently long 200 km in a length of about 100 km, in the wider areas, primarily in the vasylivka tokmak zones , the enemy's military force is accumulating here, from the point of view of first of all protecting ourselves from our offensives and those that are currently taking place there in peaceful dorozhnianke. i think that this is just such a first reconnaissance of the enemy's combat in order to feel the strength of our defense, and i think that

the temperature of hostilities on the zaporozhye front will slowly rise. by the way, yesterday the deputy chief of operations , general e.e. gromov, spoke about the fact that actually, the zaporizhia front is the most important from the point of view of the fact that it is now trying to enter the administrative border of the donetsk luhansk oblast against them, this task remains, and the second direction where the enemy will intensify its actions is precisely on the zaporizhia front, but these two settlements as i don't see a sign of the beginning of the offensive because the enemy is currently saturating this territory with his troops. and you, in turn , are using our artillery to soften this defense and this saturation is actually on hand because as soon as it happens saturation, let's say, or equipment, or supplies, or, let's say, the situation in berdyansk, where the enemy is trying to create a

new military airfield there - this is under the fire of our artillery, and this process is important in order to further reduce the potential of the enemy in the direction that the enemy considers for itself threatening well, the same thing is important, as i understand it. there is no power of means to carry out large-scale offensives without one side, this is zaporizhzhia 70 km from zaporizhzhia, the dnipro well , that is, these are two areas that are critically important first of all, from an industrial point of view. of course, these areas are also important from a humanitarian point of view, but we proceed from the fact that now the left part of the enemy's forces there, someone called the number of almost a hundred thousand, just concentrated in the zone, exactly what concerns both bahmut and saltar and actually this part of the front somewhere in the distance 50 km, that is, is there a third of the troops, that even a third of the troops can be thrown at this area in the area of ​​the donetsk luhansk regions in the center - this front actually remains in a static format in such a format, the accumulation of russian forces and such point attempts, as for myrny and

dorozhnyanka, if i'm not mistaken, either in melitopol or in berdyansk. now i'm afraid to lie, well , in one of these cities, local residents definitely say that so many invaders have already invaded there , plus some more, so to speak, immigrants from the russian federation that they already have more than local residents, i said it was about melitopol we have about melitopol because it really is now for me kadyrivians and satin osatyns are used in melitopol on the one hand as a kind of hub where they will pull the destroyed equipment is dragged there and there they try to repair it or send it to the crimea, and let's say this, the personnel of those are formed there and the hospitals are so different that understanding that this part of the front will be dangerous enough for them, that's why all those things you said absolutely correspond to reality, well, i then i will ask you briefly. maybe you can tell me more . i will briefly ask you about luhansk region , the matchmaking crime. maybe there is more optimistic news there. although bakhmut-odesa is also optimistic because the armed forces are at a great price, and it is certainly a shame, but oh well that is, it's not exactly pessimistic news either, but it's from luhansk region. perhaps

the situation there is more positive when we talk about the svatov crime line, it has really taken a back seat there, maybe we're talking about bakhmut and solidar here from positive things and after all, the fact that the advance and combat operations are taking place is precisely in the dibrova zone, it is precisely in the south of the flint, where we are trying to realize this , to surround the crime from the back and thus, well, break through this line of the matchmaker's crime, which sufficiently heavily saturated with enemy force, we are talking about the fact that the enemy, in addition to the offensives, also sent airborne assault troops here in order to strengthen this direction, and here, in fact, there are no special changes in the svatov zone, and there is a positive shift in the flint zone, but as we understand it, there will be a message from the general staff although i will mention the fact that here in this area the naming of the territory is

disgusting, except for cases when the enemy disguises himself in ukrainian uniforms and thus creates situations where he actually tries to use provocative actions to break through our defense that this section of the front is also potentially difficult. moreover , he noted that the enemy uses such a large military hub of its own groups that are being formed in russia. at first , this is how it descends . download dvorichna where there are constant battles, and then those who survive them go further and consolidate the line of defense, which just goes to the matchmaker and to the criminal court, well, according to the grandfather's covenant, they, their grandfathers, also advanced in the form of, let's say, the rebels of the ukrainian insurgent army, and crimes were committed under their form, which they then tried to attribute to the formula, and wagner is particularly actively used, it is used from generation to generation. so i will briefly ask

about the mobilization of 2 million people . there was an army of one million 200,000 a
