talk about that. why did it fall somewhere? found rocket fragments on the territory of the museum in pyrogovo and took these fragments for research. the director of the museum published photos where these rocket fragments fortunately did not touch anything from our historical heritage. it was saved from all that, as for the russians, if your pillows are intact, i think they thought they were hymers, but you know, they are more accurate and more precisely, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, let's fuck it up before it's too late . in russia or there there is nothing to show some toys on wooden legs, the second option was aimed at

maidan nezalezhnosti, but it missed by 80 km , so it can be easy, because these political missiles can be seen very accurately. okay, let 's probably uh, let's move on to ours conversations with oleksandr the old man, the head of the zaporizhzhia ova p oleksandr good day to you i congratulate you not quite i did well congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes e-e p oleksandr what do you hear in zaporizhzhia well in the morning there were explosions and how did you think about the rockets that first fall and then the siren sounds it's called ballistic missiles, they fly very fast to zaporizhzhia, unfortunately, the s300 flew again from a new place from the energy center, outside the energy center, the enemy apparently placed a new point for shelling the regional center, it flies it flies a kilometer per second and 50 km in 50 seconds, respectively, there are rockets that fly even

twice and even three times faster, then they fly even faster because of course, not a single alarm system, not a single siren did not have time to go off. if you think a lot and don't do it right away, for automatism, i have to do it all. but luckily, the first rocket comes, the other comes after a certain period of time, and yes, at many of our energy facilities, people were saved because they reacted quickly to the strikes. unfortunately, the enemy will continue to be shelled, and the intensity of the attack has increased over the past day, more than 90 shellings were carried out on 18 communities from different types of armed aircraft missiles, salvo systems and incendiary missiles. well, artillery, of course, as usual. fortunately, no one was hurt destroyed quite a lot of infrastructure. well, at the moment, everyone

understands that a new attack by the enemy is possible and accordingly follows the rules of air safety. i am sure that most people always protect their lives and health. the most valuable thing is the life and health of your loved ones after these shellings after the destruction of the infrastructure. is everything good with electricity and energy supply in zaporizhzhia and in the region, well , so is the supply in the country as a whole. not everything is very good . and automatic shutdown when exceeding and there is a shutdown now in order to prevent the destruction of the system if it works at full power, the missile arrives and the destruction is much more than when it is turned off such precautionary shutdowns are made. i understand that the shelling is also carried out from the artillery of the

frontline artillery, yes, there were 60 shellings in the past day, well, it is suffering torihi gulyaipole e.e. mountain thigh komyshuvaha tigromata along the front line to zaporizhzhia, of course, the artillery does not finish because the guys are holding the front line and but the rockets are flying all over the country regardless of the distance from the line, oleksandr, in general, we have a lot of time , maybe even months, chained in one way or another to donbass to the battle for donbass and we understand that the fate of this war is decided there to a large extent, nevertheless what is happening now on the zaporizhzhia front so from what you could say er. sorry for the connection, i wanted to ask a little what is currently happening on the zaporizhzhia front in this direction, what is the situation there, from what you can say, it is tense, without a doubt, tense, the enemy has concentrated his efforts, but mainly his main units

. hostilities on the border of zaporizhzhia and donetsk regions, but also in other parts of the front in the mountains, he has strengthened himself enough and is trying to conduct such reconnaissance in order to find weak points in our defense . shevchenko. they are completely changing this ideology because they took, renamed all the streets after the soviet maneuver . it's called marriage killers in one word, you won't find another word here, because the empire will

use some soviet narratives in their heads, such a machine. well, nothing, we will restore all the monuments that they removed or destroyed. alexander, you say that the streets on sovetskaya are being manipulated, and on sovetskaya - which one is the electricians built there? do they also mention pushkin? well, they took dmytro dontsova street, he was originally from melitopol and was renamed to sudoplatova street. you won't do anything, this is a temporary difficulty. the main thing is that people are left alive and healthy . we will rebuild everything. why is the name correct? what should it be called? let's return shevchenko to the place where he was removed from. by the way, this monument was melitopol, but it was terribly muddy. i wonder if you know somewhere. there in the luhansk region, it seems they signed taras

hryhorovych shevchenko, and underneath they wrote uh, a russian writer, and here they already decided not to attribute it, after all, it is clear that this is not a russian writer and that a lot of it is from him you probably know the problems these people have in their heads, you don't even have to think about it, there is emptiness and they are trying to spread this emptiness to the whole world at this time, they are trying to spread this emptiness to our ukraine , well, god be with him, we'll see when we're old, will we return everything to how it should be there bohdan khmelnytskyi's central avenue in melitopol. i wonder what these fools will come up with, oleksandr. thank you, they don't have much time. i hope there's a lot left for creativity . oleksandr old, the head of the zaporizhia regional military administration, was with us now, we are joining volodymyr nazarenko in the conversation, they promised him freedom, he is in donetsk region, volodymyr, good day to you, mr.

volodymyreka, the situation is now in your direction , from the latest reports, the ministry of defense looks like soledar is still is not under control. by the way, of those, i almost said, soviet troops, russian troops, well , they comment about separ and, in general, in the bahamian direction, the first thing to do is approach z with a cold mind, clearly understanding what is happening eh now there is a lot of eh security about what i already stated and said ahead says that the first phase of the battle for bakhmut was won by the ukrainian army, that is, the enemy realized that despite the crazy resources of cheap

disposable mercenaries, they can only put and dispose of this fighting bio- garbage, that is, they are already afraid of bakhmut they know how to storm, no matter how many troops they have gathered, whether wagner or other private companies or regular ones and the russian federation , it does not matter. in the southern direction , there are also really heavy and very many shellings, number hello, there was a little bit of communication , we understand that it is not so simple there, this communication is in that direction, where you are, mr. volodymyrevich, we hear you and

commenting again, repeating, returning to the division of solidar about what is happening solidar is several square kilometers of burnt land of a burnt city, there are none there, not that there are none, when you can roll there in a certain way, not a whole one - it is the enemy to put flowers that well, just no no they don’t get on anyone’s head, it’s europe, they’re laughing because they put whole battalions of square meters there in a few minutes, and well , they don’t have battalions, they just peck at these, uh, not quickly assembled and uh, level them and they are leveling the city, because they can develop some part of the city somewhere and control it, this means that they have nowhere to gain a foothold, because the war is dynamic, you need to have a maneuver, you need to understand that, first of all, we have to hand over to protect the guys, cover the

russian army, we need to preserve the ukrainian the carpathians are an area where it is impossible to hold the defense , you have to do me well, the defense maneuver and well, the fact that the enemy entered the part, he will simply take out the madmen, so play, hold on to him until this destroyed the pereoravtsya this city and they become an easy target, what can be said about what about success what about the positive thing about the achievements of the ukrainian army more than half of hm wagner has already been exterminated, that is, at the moment they do not have enough of you, despite the fact that it is not their ability to recruit all over there in all the prisons in all the other countries where they can print, they currently lack 25,000 military personnel in order to be staffed by those mercenaries, they do not know some things, that is, the pace of staffing is clearly not keeping up with the depots, how are they

running out and being spent, what are we doing today saw in several areas of bakhmut, it was noticed that mobs, that is, mobilized soldiers, and there they drive these trenches to hold there where there are not enough mercenaries. today we saw some armored vehicles, this means that relatively regular troops, which have already been newly equipped, are being pulled up, but also i would not like to say that this directly regular places, what is new there, quality is not the issue, combat capability, because as under kherson, near kharkov, under kiev, well , that is, under zemedenetska, and these brigades are beginning to be canceled when they were assembled quickly mobilized heavy soldiers, equipping, there is no preparation. well, we also have to understand that this is no coordination , there is no coordination, and it all depends on the fact that they are not fired upon, that is, those actions are

what we saw. well, they are actually with such success to look closely but with success they will also become even easier between the family than there some connections of wagner and are able to learn there or have gained some combat experience so first of all what i would like to call i wanted to wait somehow m- m initiative to wait for spring to wait for the russian army to break its teeth , to attack the bakhmut direction will suffer huge losses, to prepare for everyone who is now in the peaceful territory, who has not yet joined the armed forces of ukraine or the national guard, by the way, the freedom battalion, and in particular, the mortar battery, the artillery of the freedom battalion, also invites join join in order to destroy the orcs and the occupier on an explosive scale you can contact there facebook any there is any thank you mr. volodymyr and for what you

said and for what you do volodymyr nazarenko i sent him to svobody from donetsk region, now he is there . by the way, i happened to have two photos, both of them are from bakhmut, and both are impressive, one with the signature bakhmut january 2023 outside minus 13. frost and dampness, and to understand how it is there, try to spend the night there on a mattress in an underground passage and then carry out combat tasks while running with a weight of 15-20 kg on one's body. this information was posted by oles kromplias and this photo was posted. these are the conditions under which our soldiers are and the conditions under which they they are trying to restrain the enemy, moreover, to displace the enemy, and the other photo is even more impressive because this is what a soldier's leg looks like after he is on duty. these are just frostbitten fingers, and there are

a lot of such cases, and unfortunately, sometimes amputations have to be carried out, this is about the fact that we must preserve the health of our soldiers, we must help them cope with these frosts. what is happening now in the kherson region, in the occupied part of the kherson region, we will talk about it with oleg baturin, a journalist from novaya kakhovka, he is in touch with us, oleg good day. i greet you. why is russia withdrawing troops to the occupied kherson region? what do you know about this? and what are the occupiers of the russian occupiers preparing for? there are a huge number of them now in the occupied part of the kherson region. this is kakhovka, nova kakhovka, gola prystan, er, closer to genicheska, and so on. they are very important . the fortifications continue to prepare. i think

everything points to the fact that they are still preparing for defense, because this is more reminiscent of defensive tactics, and not tactics that would allow us to talk about their desire to advance or advance and take back their territories, as they say, that is, to occupy again something on the right bank, and there is a very large number of them now in the occupied left bank part of the kherson region. it became known that they murdered a volunteer from novaya kakhovka. so he was kidnapped on january 3 and 10 in january, unfortunately, he died from the injuries he received, he was literally bandaged up to death, he died in the hospital, uh, there was absolutely no living

space on him, according to witnesses, and unfortunately, this is not the first such case, and he is not alone er, constantly and today, including yesterday , er, it became known to me, in particular, that some facts were publicly discussed about the kidnapping of people, the shootings of people, er, the fact is that you are now becoming known to us about those facts that took place for example, in november and december, so uh, very uh, there are not isolated cases when the russian occupiers try to take away transport uh, and well, people either refuse to give it or sell it, or they don’t like some word and they just kill people for it. cases novy kakhovtsi in the same month of december when the russian military took away

a boat from a local resident and after that they would have found it there somewhere at the end of the year and buried it eh people are also kidnapped yes, but the situation differs depending on different communities. that is, it is not the same for the entire occupied part of kherson oblast. according to my observations and the observations of my colleagues, it largely depends on the activity of local collaborators where they are most active there is very strong terror there, for example, it is happening now in the nizhny syrogoz community of the genichesky district, the vornostaiv community of the kakhovsky district, well, in general, in the kakhovsky district, now it is just

real terror. that is, you are trying to express yourself in front of the occupiers in order to earn more money. is this just some kind of revenge for those people who are envious of the ukrainian position , there are a lot of explanations, and that's what you said, but also a desire to serve and demonstrate one's worth. that's why in many cases there are some there are spies from bandera, this and so on, that is, in most cases, this is absolutely attraction , pulled by the ears of history, and in this way, the occupiers are trying to show their helmsmen that they are needed. look, here are these bandera ukrainians, ukranian nazis, what do they call them, and well, that is, they invent these forces of abuse that do not have nothing to do

with reality well, i don’t know, maybe it’s really about the ukrainians of bandera they are right, we are like that, of course yes, but in most cases of course it’s just, well, completely made-up accusations of course, of course, sir, but thank you very much in the end i wanted to say that the russian troops who remain there are those who retreated near kherson, or they have already been thrown over and they have all been buried under the bachmuts in the soledar for a long time, there has been a constant rotation in recent weeks, it is very difficult to say exactly who is there these days, i know that there are military from karachay-cherkes and from the crimea of ​​russia, there are solid weapons, there are also a lot of ukrainians in lnrivka, so-called people call them bums because they look like bums , i apologize for such a comparison, but about that

people are always talking about themselves. thank you very much for this information. oleg baturin, a journalist from novaya kakhovka, joined us about the situation , in particular, in kakhovka itself and in the kherson region . listen to the idea. well, our smartphone is still working. stay with us. we will soon talk about the russian attack on kyiv. what kind of rockets were flying and why did the air alarm er sound only after the explosions were already heard, that 's all, stay with us later, someone found a working store in three letters, it's closed, i don't have a light, please, here's this bouquet yes lucky, it doesn't disappear in us. yes, the generator on the street is humming. ukrainian

veterans background money, the fund helps veteran enterprises, i wonder what is needed for this, but only fop and ubd, for example , how my husband and i have a family business , they give up to uah 20,000, i understand it. great thank you for the bouquet support of ukrainian veteran business already now find out the details on the website or by phone number war raised its head again in europe reminding about the darkest hours of our history frantz 24 constantly covers events in ukraine our the team on the ground and in the studio will inform you about the dynamics of events, this is the

most current from franz 24 in ukrainian on espresso. by the way, our previous guest oleg batury, a journalist from novaya kakhovka, said that in the occupied part of kherson oblast, the russian military, er, people just call them homeless because they walk poor miserable ragged and as illustrations our military er decided to compare and conduct such a comparative analysis of the russian military and our er and actually er as there is a video before and after then simply in parallel both are standing captive russian and our military and they look great if you can show this video but we will not show it with sound because maybe children are watching us and there is a little bit of such vocabulary that we would not like our children to repeat although i understand that in the conditions in which we are now and how sometimes parents try, i won't even explain some

who is on the right and who is on the left because it is because it is because it can be seen in principle in the picture uh-uh how ukrainian fighters stand next to each other now we will show this video for your attention oksana marchenko this is what the wife of such a medvedchuk, a former ukrainian citizen, turns out to have appealed to the supreme court of ukraine to cancel the presidential decree imposing sanctions on her, and do you think this is unfair ? i definitely want to come and do business, reopen the network of gas stations there, then they will give it there, and download coal, sell, connect, listen, well, it’s just an amazing neighborhood, such people exist in the world, it’s an amazing neighborhood - it’s uh russian and ukrainian soldiers, we look at

them and in the end you can see that this is a miracle captured in which it will surely be better to live than in the russian army in ukrainian captivity, here he is, you can see on the right and on the left, our guy is armed, dressed in human shoes you can also compare what it is like in the russian military, well, in a word, they don't rebel against the same way their naked bosses are sent to the front to die here in ukrainian land, there are no riots , nothing in them, do you remember that in the second world war during the world war, they had such units in the army , in the red army, those in the soviet army were such whole formations of the so-called black jackets. there were people who did not have enough of even the worst gymnasts in the world, so-called from the word gymnast, but even for this there was not

enough money somehow in the soviet to the union, they were sent simply in civilian clothes in the dark and, as a rule, they were not even given any weapons, this is very good. by the way, you know who told me that he was taken to the soviet army, so to speak, and right away they were taken to the army. this in other words, i had to get some moments somewhere there, also there, when i was still a child and a young man, and they mobilized and sent some bricks there, and they armed the bricks and put them in their hands. it seems so, and they said that all your weapons go, die, force the dnieper, he came out, but a lot of ukrainians agreed with this forcing the dnipro and so on and the like, we will no longer subscribe to this

and we know who our enemy is already with us mykhailo prytula, military expert mr. mykhailo good day, he has disconnected from us now, what's up which is similar to the second world war and the soviet approaches and the current russian approaches, so they do not draw any conclusions, in principle, they do not take into account human life, how is it ? overrated well, well, in a word, my life is still worth something. well, you, the audience, there’s still a lot more, come here, die, they sent naked, barefoot, unarmed people, and now they just walk and stick and understand that their backs will be shot if they don’t go forward so, mykhailo prytula, a military expert, is in touch with us. mykhailo, have a good day. good day, but the situation today is strange,

you know, as i say. we have been on the air since seven in the morning today. and what did andriy notice that information appeared in russian news feeds about the fact that there is an air raid in kyiv or across ukraine. and we really did not have that air raid yet, no sounds were heard yet, but it was obvious that they already knew that they pressed the trigger and their rockets flew , and then already from kyiv, eyewitnesses said about hearing explosions and lying down - only then did the air alarm actually sound why did this happen, where was the failure? well, he could be on the alert system, first of all, secondly, they could have fired missiles that were uh, let's say so, not hm highlighted on er, the trajectory, but not on the aerod, why projection or ballistic architecture, which fly very fast. therefore,

while the warning system worked, well, there were already such teletic ones, for example, from belarus, if it has a speed of 2000 meters per second, then accordingly it flies no more than a minute and a half. that is, these are situations that are theoretically possible. they say that they flew from the bryansk region. also, they just flew over the chernihiv region not far away, and we have it all. in mind, including this one, the same one, the italian one, very, very modern, which is also designed to intercept ballistic missiles or
