art in the country of war. artists who have not left abroad and are continuing their creative path in ukraine. it seems that history has just entered now, yes, at some such moment where everything just came together, they just linearly what was happening there that we remember then was a kind of drag, but it seems that it is all at one moment and we see that everything is repeating itself, but how the place and meaning of the artist and his work change. in a country that is at war, see in the new television series from the studio doknotfilm became the association babylon 13 art in the country of war from january 16 on weekdays from monday to friday at 11:10 on espresso good morning we continue our broadcast and say that chirindi anna valevska 9:06 on the clock and today is friday 20 we have the next one in january a guest is already with us in petrova chernyk

, a military expert, we consider you with us, mr. petrova, congratulations, we are glad to see you, glory to ukraine , thank you for coming, let's start with the visit of the leader of the head of the cia, the central director of the cia to kyiv, what can they talk about during such visits, we are already here the military experts spoke with the latest intelligence, just when i read this information, i somehow felt a little, well, a little , but some anxiety appeared, because if the director of cereu is coming, it means that some data is being brought, maybe not entirely comforting, maybe don't give us we need to prepare for something, there is some kind of special operation that personally arrives on some communication channels, what do you think they talked about and what did the director of the cia, william burns, warn ukrainian officials about, this is actually not new information, in my opinion, the russians will prepare and are actually preparing another major counteroffensive which, in my

opinion, can take place at any point from the north to the east, and i am more than sure that our ukrainian colleagues have a colossal amount of reliable information and in the part of personnel and in the part of equipment and even in the part that concerns the specification of time pairs of parameters, in my opinion, these moments have clearly crystallized, that is, there is a whole series of recommendations for assistance, there is a whole series of recommendations for the provision of this assistance, because the last two large packages today already in the morning, a specific second large package from the united states of america and also from the coalition was announced, i would call it a package of a large colossal support for armor and artillery, i.e. everything is going to the point that in the coming months i will not i don’t know if i’m inoculated, that is, because it’s possible to predict 100% in the coming months, we are moving to a turning point in this war , when it will

happen is extremely difficult to guess, but in my opinion, the prerequisites for this should be somewhere in the middle of the end of spring , the beginning of summer - the war is moving to its logical conclusion, because it cannot continue like this anymore, the enemy realizes that he will suffer a catastrophic defeat and will do everything possible to leave behind at least some conquered territories, we will see how it turns out it is a little unclear, you also very likely expect a second offensive, and it is not even clear where a and you are talking about the end. that is, it can speed up the end. this attack is logical for us here. the concept of a protracted war in my opinion in my opinion i am wrong i do not claim any truth in my opinion does not quite stand up to serious deep criticism really they have a colossal human resource it is

true they can put order 100-200-300 or even 400,000 people to arm them with low-level weapons. because in reality, kalashnikov assault rifles, mosin rifles, or even old world war ii ppsh pps, which together out of 8 million were manufactured, did not have hundreds of thousands, are all there, but serious equipment, especially armored vehicles, as well as full-fledged air cover, or none for such, they cannot enter our c-zone, they do not have them in pravda and, in my opinion, they need to achieve something similar, something in minsk 3 this is how it looks from my understanding and now there are all the prerequisites for this, and they will move in this direction of a long-term exhausting war, no matter what anyone says, they will not last either. we also have oleksandr afanasyeva, an officer from the

susiver direction near soledar oleksandr, good day. what are you doing? on the front line at ground zero, you can directly feel what the russians are preparing for and who will go first. i would say there was a counteroffensive. ukraine, will the russians continue their all-out offensive? well, not all-out, but a town-total attack on bakhmut. soledar, please. congratulations. well, how are you? to say who will go where is already a matter for our senior command, we are ready for any development of events, of course it is easier to defend, active defense gives the opportunity to wear out the enemy and destroy his infantry, many of whom have their own opinion, but we will voice it on the account of whether the enemy will continue to advance it all depends on what forces of the armed forces will be in our sector, but now we have been joined by our brothers who can already be

said to be local and things will go better this volume i have no doubt who is it who are these brothers please explain, decipher almost local, which i will not name, later you understood to tell about the soldier that it remains the most difficult, of course, as only in all interviews, they say that do not forget that, well , bakhmut and the bakhmut direction it was solidar and siversky, this is one defense system of each of of these cities, it depends on more than one person here, somewhere the loss of solidarity is, for example, well, it brought us some troubles, not critical, but some conclusions have been drawn from this, but now there is siversk, and everyone will already know what this is the city of siverske has been fighting since july, and the 54th bakhmut brigade has been holding the defense here since a month without rotation. how do the battles look now?

in reality, how much artillery is used, what with the parity of support on both sides. now that the war is going on, artillery is used much more. well , solidarists, these were street battles, we, her comrades , who participated because i was in solidarity, of course . it was difficult because our infantry, although it is much more effective and one professional person is enough against a dozen professional ones armed with machine guns, this is also a problem and we have lost, we are losing the best, they are losing marginal chvk vlagner, so there is such a common issue here and the war of alexander’s artillery yesterday, the russians are now doing solidarity, is there an opportunity to build some fortifications there, that is, the purpose of capturing this city was what, what are they now or they are now engaged in political life there and at the local level, what kind of

plans were there, now they are trying to hit more bakhmuts and siversky to go after our bodies, but i see that fortunately already the situation is controlled, stabilized, and the enemy is systematically destroying oleksandr, do you know who is fighting with you from that side, at the moment, what are they newly mobilized, uh, are they the wagnerites, who? it was in december, it was clear that pc wagner is now lpr brigadier and mobilized, they are already fighting paying companies is much better to fight with them because there are many of them and it is easy to detect their practice from chvk, it is more similar to a personnel army and it is easier to destroy them if there are a number of wounded, they are their attacks are choked much faster than in chvk thank you oleksandr oleksandr afanasyev

officer of the armed forces of ukraine the operational situation in the er bakhmatsky direction siverskyi direction is so close to soledar mr. peter well, somehow you can summarize from what we heard what is happening well, now all these battles, what is the development of events in your opinion, in order to understand what is happening on this arc, what is the name of north soledar bakhmut, we really have to imagine several aspects and why is everything so hot there and why is it actually a strategic point bakhmut remains the most strategic first of all, why does he have a purely psychological and political order to take these cities ? putin gave a wonderful one before the end of 2022. it didn’t work out, plus the russians suffered a whole series of strategic defeats from kharkiv and kherson, including in fact, there is a very serious, purely practical point, and my colleague made this point . attention that the war for the moment remains at 95 artillery war

so, you don't have to go to the front line with trucks that can take a set of, say, up to 50 or 610 152 mm shells, you need a working railway and there is the so-called debalt node, this is a very convenient node for large heavy echelons, let's say one of the 60-ton wagons can take a set of up to 500 shells or 350 shells for the bm-21 system from bakhmut to debaltsevo, all of our 42 km highs m142 in ammunition m-31 m31a2 works at a distance of 84 km, this is actually a threatened railway junction and the enemy must move our fire lines, plus there is one more very important detail, it must also be understood that the soledariv junction is nothing more than a showdown between the two great moscow this is the tower headed by gerasim and

the tower headed by prigozhin prigozhin gained political weight too much gained momentum too much and decided to show that his structures can be a completely independent separate army and by and large, in my opinion, up to 70% of the pvk vagar under soledar on this minute, prigozhin was ground down as a major political figure, significantly demoted, in this context, one must understand what is happening there, if in general i like historical parallels very much, then in my opinion, the father is great of seversky, the bakhmut arc reminds me of 1916 , the battle has been close for almost 10 years, where the french and the germans have been close for almost 10 years. i apologize for 10 months, they were figuring out their relationship. in the end, the battle ended with a zero sum, they did not win a single thread, but a very important detail took place. the germans undermined their strategic offensive potential . now, on this arc, the russians are really

grinding a colossal number of their personnel and equipment, but in no way does this mean that they will not build up, first of all, infantry ramparts, colleagues will be very well said simply the ratio of people one to ten i also have my own metaphor a ukrainian is a very high-quality motivated warrior armed with a very good rifle let's say a 700 belt there even with a laser and even a thermal sight and on the contrary it is a man with an ax but in these 10 people we have to kill the gun, we have to be in time to reload, we don't always have time that's why we still have to grind these huge masses of ice with a grinding wheel, but peter, aren't we exaggerating this conflict between the towers, we are constantly talking about it this is the latest information about prigozhin, even from the institute of war studies, the americans say that prigozhin is becoming more and more bold in his criticism of the ministry of defense of russia, he criticized the

ban on the occupiers to wear tablets , phones, smartphones. we are exaggerating this internal conflict, after all. well, there is probably still one king, one goal is to destroy ukraine, and what are they among themselves? the combat capability of the russian army, the combat capability does not decrease for us, they are still equally bad, that's unequivocally yes, but it is still worth it for us to understand what is happening inside between them. to preserve his own personal power and hold on to it, because as soon as there is a full-fledged classic military defeat of russia in ukraine, and this will only become a matter of time and circumstances, most likely putin will lose his life and

the russian federation will be on the path of its disintegration. for putin, such a formula must be found , and it is actually very difficult to stay in power, to lower the iron curtain over russia , that is, to turn russia into a kind of north korea 2:0 and to appoint the guilty parties there, they must be deceived. so that no one will be punished
