why did they cling to this town so much, did they remove such a classic bug strategy of filling up bodies, will it open the way to bakhmut and what plans does the zsu have? march will be terribly fierce from the east at a range of five kilometers and hit the target with which ukraine can go to the con trnazmo that putin is an old horse and why general soromikin was moved, in fact, the maquis played a much bigger role than the retreat from kherson and from kharkiv, and also why the russians cannot avoid a new wave of mobilization enamel army for 2 million all this

today in the facts of the week good evening our unbreakable country i congratulate you invincible ukrainians the facts of the week analyzed the key events and trends of the last days so let's figure out what is happening and what to expect next soledar pulse and hell this week probably only stone warriors could fight for this small ukrainian town a well- known center of salt production in donbas this is how ukrainian artists have paraphrased the famous design of a pack of artemiv salt. wave after wave, so that the next ones crawl over the corpses of the first, all this is the game of the second world war, but putin needs at least some kind of victorious

picture purely for internal consumption, because at the moment he is replacing military successes with terrible strikes on ukrainian cities, on a residential building in the dnipro. and of course he is lying that it is not he, the russians immediately they began to spread fakes about the actual ukrainian missile, which suddenly changed its trajectory, but more about the explosives, which were specially planted in the basement of that entrance and were waiting for artillery fire, but in modern technology, everything tracks according to the official statement of the command of the ukrainian air defense and the russians hit the dnieper with an x22 anti-ship missile, its warhead is almost a ton, because the missile is designed to destroy aircraft carriers but putin ordered to kill people with it, he needs to show the russians something, he needs

bakhmut at the moment, he needs soledar, that's why russian propagandists yes public relations person battle, that's why i come to do whole photo shoots hoping for a career lift, which, however, broke off at the last moment, because this week the handsome general syrovykin, a key ally lowered and humiliated we will talk about it further and now the battle for soledar will it change anything in the course of the war on which real events on the front it can affect all the scenarios of the event pavlo vasiliev analyzed the madness in the bakhmut direction how the russians merged wagners these in soledar removed such a classic zhukov the strategy of filling up the bodies and why it won’t help and thrashing bakhmut will be very difficult for the enemy to carry out any offensive operations in the future, and

some other cities and routes will become the hottest points of the front, march will be terrible for people and should we expect an attack from the belarusian side in the first two weeks of 2023 the russian occupation army is storming bakhmut soledarov at the same time trying to stop the advance of the bolt in the north and accumulating reserves in the south and all these events add up to one big picture today we will try to deal with probable scenarios war and we will answer the question of what our future victory depends on. by the way, all our stories are on the youtube channel of the facts of the week . subscribe so as not to miss the main one. this is the hottest point on the front. unbreakable the town of soledar has not left the headlines of ukrainian and world changes for the past two weeks, but the information about who controls it is contradictory. maybe because you

call it real madness, who , why, did the russians need this small town so much that they threw their whole life into capturing it? arsenal and practically razed the settlements to the ground, well , first of all, the city is known for its salt mines and one of the largest producers of salt in the world, the artemsil plant, this could be the motive for the kremlin beautiful criminals to take under their control. soledar , a specialist in mountain football. yevgeny prigozhin, which he actually spends on himself, but there is also another version of the bugners, they were

specially sent there as cannon fodder to reduce the influence of prigozhin himself, because the smaller his army of convicts, the smaller political weight all the more so that regular russian troops planned to enter the city after the mercenaries, and here a military version is already being proposed, for which reason they stormed every quarter, every street and every house. the key to understanding the russians' plan lies south of the soldier, this is the city of bakhmut. for almost 6 months, the occupiers have been trying to capture it but despite all efforts, they were not able to advance into the city head of security programs of the center for global studies strategy 21 pavlo lekiychuk is confident soledar russians regard the attempt as a step towards success to capture soledar is an attempt actually to loom over bakhmut from the north and, er,

partially cut the supply routes and logistics lines, which both run until february 24, had up to 10,000 inhabitants, in fact, the northern suburb of bakhmut to the district center, where once there were 70,000 people, about 13 km but more important are not even the two routes m-103 and t-05-13 through which the city defenders can be provided, if the russians manage to cut them, there will be only one road from kostyantynivka, it is protected by the tick that is under our control, meanwhile, the institute of studies of the war, washington noted in a recent report that the capture of soledar most likely will not lead to the strategic communications of the armed forces. and the russians spent an incredible amount of human and material resources on the storming of the city. in addition , the heights around soledar and the armed forces dominate

if there is such a decision. prepared, that is, there are no problems here, and we are fighting ourselves. our defense forces do not fight like the russians, that is, if the positions become unfavorable and pose more threats to our personnel, well, accordingly, it makes no sense to hold such positions, our task during the assault on the russians is to destroy as much of their manpower and equipment as possible, and this is exactly what the soledar did well. pavlo lekychuk says that if at the beginning of a large-scale war, the russian army tried to rely on iron, tanks, rockets, and aviation now they are throwing infantry at machine guns, they took such a classic beetle strategy of covering up with bodies, i don’t know how it is possible. there, someone in their top military leadership is testing it, let’s say so such a path in the ukrainian ministry

of defense predicts this winter, such a new tactic of the russians can be applied in two main directions, i predict that in the near future they will try to go beyond the administrative borders of the donetsk region, and in the future they may intensify their actions to capture the left bank part of the zaporizhia region. but try does not yet mean to carry out, so further in detail let's consider exactly how the armed forces of ukraine can destroy the kremlin's plans after a successful counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the kharkiv region, the strength of the defense of ukraine close came close to the strategic road r-66, the exit to this road means for the russians the potential loss of two cities, this is svatov in the north and krimina in the south. to threaten the russians in the area of ​​lysychansk and

severodonetsk with the further prospect of an attack on alchevsk and even more with the loss of flint, the entire soledar bakhmut group of russians is under threat our forces can already go out just to cut off the north of the north of the luhansk region if the route is actually cut. that is, it is all the supply from here, that is, through the roller coasters, and where is the supply for everything for the entire north of the luhansk region. section of the front where it can be hot this winter, the south of donetsk and the zaporizhia region at first glance look like relatively calm sections of the front, but only at first, in fact, here, as well as in the north, the armed forces are trying to hold

strategic initiative and systematically strike the bases, warehouses and locations of the occupiers, the same strikes are being struck by the armed forces of ukraine on the currently occupied left bank kherson oblast. zaporizhzhia region from the vasylivka line of gulyaipole nuts down to the south to tokmak or melitopol, and this is exactly what the russians are afraid of and are trying to transfer almost all additional forces to this area the zaporozhye direction from vasylivka to gulyaipol is an extremely important logistical corridor for the russians, from here the roads to the port cities of mariupol and berdyansk are open, potentially this is an opportunity to repeat the kherson counteroffensive , but the second possibility of getting to melitopol on an increasingly large scale is generally threatened by means of supplies from the crimean peninsula, that is, the southern transport corridor of the occupiers

will stop its existence at the same time in the south of donetsk region also gives ugledar the opportunity to love our promotion in the area of ​​ugledar e-e can lead to the fact that we, er, fire- put the entire land corridor on this part of the front under fire control, and the advancement of further advancement creates the prerequisites for a breakthrough in the berdyansk region and or an exit to the outskirts of mariupol, so experts say the facts of the week russia will try to hold all critical sections of the front, but at what cost? putin and lukashenka's soldiers underwent joint training on the eve of the russian invasion of ukraine from the territory of belarus, and already on monday, regular training with the participation of combat aviation is planned. but will this be the beginning of the lukashenka regime's open participation in the war, from somewhere other than belarus, an attack was being

prepared in the ministry of defense of ukraine, they say that they have not yet found signs of the formation of strike groups in belarus, either joint or separate russian, on the other hand , such a threat is already distracting our forces from carrying out tasks in the south and in the east, it is all the same. our forces force significant forces to constantly keep in this northern direction, and it can be different and it can be as russia and the experience of february 24 showed from a military point of view, the steps given may be absolutely absurd, but they are effective in precisely those more informational and psychological operations that the russian federation is constantly trying to conduct. in february, but the destruction every day by battalion from battalion to battalion of the tactical group, that is, in these

intervals every day, these are simply unheard of losses for any army, so further the scenario of the vinnytsia side e-e why because we are also conducting certain preparatory measures and the russians are conducting measures to increase their boudar potential, in other words, the war is not over yet and a decisive battle is ahead, but wars do not win non-allies for russia - it is belarus and iran for ukraine, all civilized the world it was facts of the week thank you for commenting on our stories it helps us do our work better see you when the lights go out everywhere they continue to fight for

refused to supply us with this super effective anti-missile system for a long time, but as soon as washington made a decision, it went, it went like this. for almost a year, the spanish women in western countries looked at each other, expressing their readiness to supply these machines, but after someone, don’t even doubt the polish ones to ukraine the finnish, spanish, and german leopards will go. and also the british challengers. this is well understood in the kremlin. look at how russian propaganda is burning, especially since the company of the western tank will also be made up of western ones armored vehicles are an important nuance, all this is an offensive weapon, how it will change the course of hostilities and how it differs from soviet analogues , allachysh analyzed offensive armor, this is what affects all modern tanks, how the supply of new tanks and bmps will strengthen the combat strength of the armed forces of ukraine in the world, which will give a tandem

of marders and lepky, will the armed forces of ukraine be able to defeat the russians with the amount of armor that our partners will provide, this may be of decisive importance. the west finally promised ukraine offensive weapons, in particular leopard tanks, which are one of the the best in the world in terms of firepower and mobility and are significantly superior to russia, the soviets will reinforce them with marder and bradley infantry fighting vehicles with anti-tank missile systems. channel in order not to miss anything andrzej duda's visit to lviv brought good news poland will provide our armed forces with the first batch of long-awaited heavy armored vehicles so far

it is only about 14 european tanks, but poland called on the european allies to act as leopards for ukraine within the international coalition, so that the aid would be more significant. great britain, finland. they have already given preliminary consent. germany still has to allow re-export because the tank manufacturer is a local company . in germany and the bundestard with permission to re-export leopards to ukraine in principle. during the next two weeks there, they will be able to give this decision. ramstein will allow germany whether or not and also whether he will hand over a batch of his tanks in an exclusive interview, a fact of the week , a senior researcher at the munich university of the bundeswehr, a military expert , frank

sauerlid expresses his opinion. that came from warsaw. i believe that the pressure is now so great that it is simply impossible to resist it , what has been discussed for several weeks can be implemented, namely the european leopard coalition where many of half a dozen or even 10 countries that use these tanks will join forces, let me remind you that for a long time the allies of ukraine delayed the transfer of heavy armored vehicles, so that they could explain not to provoke the expansion of hostilities on their territory and not to undermine their own defense capabilities, and as soon as the first batch of western tanks arrived and it will probably be removed. and now more details about the offensive equipment that the armed forces of ukraine will soon adopt. leopard 2 is planned to be delivered in the a4 modification.

the end of the 80s, the beginning of the 90s. however, one of the best experts on tanks in ukraine, mykola salamakha, says that they are still significantly superior to the russian armored vehicles of the soviet model with which russia is currently fighting . now russia has, they put an additional machine gun on top of the suspension, they have very powerful armor protection, the versions of the tanks of their time received the biggest upgrade compared to their predecessors, measures to increase the safety of the crew, better turret armor and more powerful projectiles, this icons of tank construction in the world, this is a powerful machine that was created again there to counter soviet equipment, taking into account all the capabilities of the soviet machine and how to surpass these capabilities at the expense of a more

accurate and more powerful 120 mm gun, this is the same heavy equipment with the help of which our army could make a breakthrough in the enemy's defenses, go on the offensive and change the balance of forces with all these modern ammunition, as well as relatively modern modernization of two a4s , taking into account the optics of which the system is equipped with improved armor and ergonomics for the crew, these tanks would make a significant contribution, especially in offensive operations and the liberation of occupied territories. obviously, the transfer of heavy armor pursues the two goals of repelling a possible great russian offensive and a counterattack. in this sense, the biggest disadvantage of leopards for ukraine is their small number, according to valery zaluzhnyi, to reach the front line on february 23 in ukraine in total, 300 more tanks are needed, if european countries join the coalition initiated by warsaw and throw down their leopards, a hundred will be produced, the prologue to the

history with leopards was another significant event earlier, berlin announced the transfer to ukraine of armored vehicles lighter than tanks, four dozen bmp-marders, translated from the german marten, this millimeter marder can already penetrate calmly at all, again, real combat distances, such machines, if mp1 bmp-2 bmp, in fact, and not to mention three about armored personnel carriers and others, it is easy to reserve equipment for its anti-tank missile complex milan, these infantry fighting vehicles are capable of hitting tanks, the commander launches a minlan at a distance of up to 4 km when the missile arrives, even the strongest protected place the tank is there in the frontal projection of the turret. so when the cumulative warhead breaks, it forms an accumulative stream and breaks through the

armor monolith. marder has been the workhorse of the bundeswehr for decades. can and even should act together and the ukrainian armed forces are now also undergoing training in the field of combined arms and maneuver warfare to use various systems from artillery for combat vehicles, infantry and tanks together, these are the most effective of the bad ones, well, there may be delays with the delivery of vehicles from german bases, there are only 100 of them, and 41 of the best have already been selected for transfer to greece , that is, greece is transferring to us, it has already transferred bmp-1 that they have were, and in return the germans give them er

marter, now the germans are capitalizing, but the overhaul is, you know, a huge amount of work that needs to be done, but according to the information of the german publication, greece is ready to cede its turn to ukraine and receive your party later. in this case, you will not have to wait. american infantry fighting vehicles m2 bradley, which are even more powerful than the marder, 50 of them will soon arrive in ukraine. in the persian gulf and iraq look at the scope, there is germanium glass, there is the diameter of the lens, here in the thermal imager is 150 mm, this is the range of detecting the enemy at a

distance of 6-7 km, a person has a burshmaster 25 mm gun, which has a projectile with feathered armor-piercing sub-caliber shells that penetrate 130 mm of homogeneous armor at a distance of 300 m, this is a machine of that class, which is capable of fighting tanks even without the use of an anti-tank guided missile, but according to the trk, it also has the famous llc, which has already been supplied to the armed forces of ukraine and proves its high the effectiveness of destroyed even modern tanks of the russian army, meanwhile, putin's followers have already reported on the destruction of the bradley brothers bmp, which has not yet been delivered to ukraine, as material for 11 tanks and 17 infantry fighting vehicles including four u.s.-made bradley bmps. some kind of rear-view mirror. and finally, another

new product that will be in service with the armed forces of the armed forces, the french imx-10 rc reconnaissance wheeled vehicle, unlike the marder and bradley, it is light armor, although some experts call it a wheeled tank, there is a system of communication laser rangefinders, the opposition system, everything was created with french elegance, the cumulative projectile in the caliber of 105 mm ot of western production, this is what impresses all modern tanks, the main advantages of this machine, fate, thin armor, armor there is only against bullets, therefore it is almost impossible to use it on the first line, another minus due to the poor civilization of the gun, 10 people cannot aim fire while moving, but according to oleg kazkov, it has many advantages for working from an ambush, it is able to crouch in a car, that is, it was to reduce

its silhouette and work more efficiently and how to use it. it is possible to use it. commander's panorama, that is, to use it as such a means of terrorizing the enemy at night, in short, all this equipment can be effectively used on the front line, but with the currently declared number, a powerful counteroffensive is possible, but the main thing is that the west opened these armored doors and began to transfer powerful offensive weapons to the armed forces of ukraine all the experts interviewed by facts of the week believe that this is a significant military and diplomatic breakthrough for ukraine and the key to the complete re-equipment of our army, and the required number is only it's a matter of time what the liberation of the captured territories is and what do you think the deliveries of weapons will be next and whether the western allies will delay this, write in the comments if

city is being stormed only by the chivak wagner mines of defense r
