the artillery fire is quite dense, so that our soldiers also pass this quite hard. thank you very much, mr. ivan varchenko , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, an expert on security issues, and of course we are amazed at the strength of courage, endurance of our soldiers on everyone on the entire front line, it is extraordinary and eh bahmut soldier where today there are even fiercer battles where the enemy still wants to create his own stalingrad. well, actually , you know that, there will never be a ukrainian stalingrad, there is a ukrainian bakhmut as well how was ukrainian kharkiv kyiv therefore, putin can dream as much as he wants this is our history and the war in which we have to win alisa z e alisa sessoeva journalist and deputy of the zaporozhye district council p lisov i congratulate you i congratulate you mr. vasyl glad to see you and hear this i want to call you in general about security situation in the zaporizhzhia region in zaporizhzhia as of the evening. did anything happen that day that is worth talking about, or did the enemy not disturb us today with shelling, unfortunately, this

does not happen in our country, the enemy did not disturb us, russian terrorists, they systematically every zaporizhzhia region is being shelled for the day and today's addition was no exception. 111 shellings were recorded in one day today, as usual, the village of zaporizhzhia district, vasylivskyi district , pologiv district was bombarded by the rsv and there was also an f-300 missile attack, and one person was injured, unfortunately, one man and he is currently in custody. in the hospital, as well as 41 destroyed houses, so every day, every day, the zaporizhzhia region is shelled, and alarming news is coming from the occupied territories. literally in a few minutes, i read in the local news, in particular that during childbirth the occupiers tortured the honored forester of ukraine volodymyr nosyk. of course we want to believe that this information has not yet been

confirmed, but unfortunately they refer to official sources, and there are also cases of kidnapping people. they began to regularly terrorize people in the occupied territories of berdyansk in melitopol they are conducting searches, they are looking for people who are patriotic, they cannot simply stop a person on the street, not take the phone, but take it in an unknown direction, yes in the same pologh district, and the other day there was very disturbing news that the rashists had kidnapped a woman from a doctor, a paramedic, who refused to cooperate with them, and besides, someone told her that she adheres to the ukrainian position and condemns the occupying forces in every way, so for now eh relatives report that the whereabouts of the woman are unknown. perhaps she is somewhere under interrogation. also, we have a very alarming situation. i

read that due to heavy losses in the zaporizhzhia direction, the enemy occasionally tries to attack in small groups er, about matsui, so to speak, in our line and our positions, and i always receive either the artillery is working or the aviation or there are drones. well, actually , because of the heavy losses in the zaporizhia direction, the russians are deploying additional hospitals in the crimea, you were talking about a paramedic, i also read about that that in the zaporizhzhia region , doctors really refuse to work with them. well , there is no shortage of women, or is it really that the hospital here is already overcrowded and there is nothing and no one to treat them? and by the way, they also write about the fact that they are bringing doctors from russia. i i think that in russia there are not so many willing people, it must be the case that the hospitals have already been told about this by official sources and told the mayor of melitopol, ivan fedorov , today we were already told that all the hospitals in dniprorudny are also overcrowded, and

they really decided bear their losses and they are repurposing all existing medical facilities in the occupied territories in their hospital and even this is not enough to accommodate all of them. we very much hope that not only hospitals but morgues are filled with uh, uh, scumbags. it's also true about doctors in general. they probably didn't expect such opposition to our territories, because not only doctors refuse to cooperate with them, teachers refuse to work with them. and i personally know one woman who left the occupied territory of melitopol, and here she is we spoke with her literally a month ago. she said that she continues to conduct online lessons for children who are there at their own peril and risk, and the situation is the same in energodar with one and a half thousand people and 15 employees of the nuclear power plant

the power plant refused to take their russian passports, their access to the nuclear power plant was blocked, so despite the fact that the refusal to cooperate with the occupiers is extremely dangerous for the people, because they terrorize them, they threaten them but our people do not give up, and today you have probably already seen new fresh photos spread on the network today from melitopol, and the partisans once again hung up people's places in this place with posters saying that they are not happy here . in melitopol, the russian flag that was hung on the flagpole fell. i also read about it, another such signal to the russians, so to speak . thank you very much for your participation. thank you for your comments . about the situation in the kherson oblast serhii khvan, deputy of the kherson oblast

council, mr. serhiy, greets you good evening kherson oblast is ukraine glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, mrs. alisa just told you about the fact that they fired 111 times in the zaporizhzhia region and also fired at the enemies of the kherson region, unfortunately, there is information about one person who died . maybe you already have more information about the person who died . the yard of one of the private buildings in the village of antonivka, this is a micro-district of the city of kherson, a projectile flew and a man who was in the yard at that time, unfortunately , died from this projectile. not far away, the occupiers struck the private sector today, and you know these strikes happen every day, and these strikes on residential areas are not chaotic,

and not only in the private sector, these strikes are also on high-rise buildings every day. and every day, unfortunately, we have casualties as a result of these shellings, but it should be noted that in recent days the number of shellings has significantly decreased thanks to the work of our armed forces of ukraine thanks to our artillery, which last for days it delivered very powerful blows to the grouping in the bodies on the left bank according to the location of the artillery that is shelling the city of kherson and the entire right bank part of the kherson region, thus destroying the enemy grouping that was near oleshok . and yesterday our armed forces eliminated a sabotage group that did not

move by boat, e.e. great potemkin island is not an island located in the immediate vicinity of of the korabel island microdistrict, where the occupiers land their mortars that we are shelling the city of kherson, then our guys eliminated just such a sabotage group that tried to move along the dnieper river and land on one of these islands. i have one more question . what about the day before yesterday about the fact that a large group of sick elderly people from kherson was transported to kyiv for treatment? well, also, i understand that part of the people there were placed in zhytomyr oblast on a permanent basis on a permanent basis on the basis of being treated in kherson. i understand that there is no special opportunity there, and there is constant shelling of hospitals in particular. and is this process of finding those people who should be evacuated because such a risk exists? was it a one-time

action? no yes, of course, this is a repeated action. sick people , and precisely in view of the fact that the occupiers began to strike at medical facilities. and we have already seen four such strikes, so the need to beat up sick people became immediate, and that is why such a large scale was carried out the evacuation of sick people is also an evacuation , it does not stop, it happens all the time, but i want to note that the medical facilities in kherson are working and not on the website of the military administration, there are telephone numbers, respectively, where to contact in order to receive medical assistance and assistance with medicines. but if we if we are talking about hospitalization, then it is not possible to say where exactly people are being hospitalized, because as we see, the occupiers deliberately hit medical

facilities so that we could not timely and to a certain extent, to provide medical assistance to people who are suffering precisely as a result of these enemy shellings, and this is where the city of mykolaiv helps, where if there is no need to evacuate sick people as a matter of urgency, that is, this work is ongoing. kherson in the kherson region experienced terrible psychological pressure and physical moral pressure from the enemy and trauma. the loss of loved ones does not remain in kherson . are people left alone and should they seek psychological help themselves? please , i cannot comment on this information , frankly, i don’t know. they were interested in this phenomenon . i’m asking because i

thank you very much. why am i asking about this, because you know this is a problem that exists in principle for all people in ukraine, a stressful situation and so on and so on and so on well, but those people who survived violence er half weeks god torture the loss of relatives and property, of course they need to be helped where they are now, especially since they continue to live here near the war. well, we are all at war. but of course they are near the war, they are near the front, and now we were actually near the war and moved on to talking about the war in more detail and well, literally now seconds by second, we will add, of course, to eten, our expert serhiy zubtsa, and then we will continue the conversation, what is there really to talk about, because well, here, it’s not that these are scandals, but these are amazing processes i will tell you, strange and amazing processes with weapons continue. serhii izhorets is with us, director of defense express agents, host of the daily military summaries column, serhii. i congratulate you. i congratulate

you . vasyl. i congratulate our viewers. in fact, they did not accuse him of what he accused, but he also pointed out to ukraine that she is demanding weapons from her partners, and she herself could have prepared better for the war , despite the fact that the war has been going on for 8 years but the full-scale ones have started now, is ukraine really guilty of something and could have been more ready under a different policy, please ? well, indeed, in the words of philip karber , an expert in the military environment who was an adviser to the secretary general of nato and the british prime minister is well known, it is true because really er, we could have prepared more carefully for the war if we considered whether it was about ammunition or about the number of tanks we need on the battlefield, but we will talk about it in more detail with our expert. literally in a moment we will have igor levchenko on the phone

military and political commentator, expert of the center for research on army conversion and disarmament p. igor, i congratulate you. good evening, here we are. the fact that we want to have more artillery, and then the words of karber are actually like a cold shower, but where does he say that you guys want to get more weapons, but you yourself have been engaged in selling weapons abroad for a long time and now actually you say that this is not enough for you. how do you evaluate these words of philip karber? should we be ashamed of how he says that you should consist of the fact that you actually engaged in exports and not strengthening the armed forces, and what conclusions did we actually draw? should we draw from such insufficiently critical assessments of an influential foreign expert i think that, first of

all, it is necessary to separate the situation that existed before 2014 and what happened after 2014, in principle, in both situations, of course , we ukrainians and our political leadership could have done more, done better before on the 14th year, unfortunately for the political elite that formed in ukraine, who were in power, they are not something. she looked at the russian federation on the issue of security threats in general. probably because they were mainly from the e from the soviet union and history was taught according to soviet textbooks, respectively, if we were unable to extricate the experience of russian-ukrainian relations at the present

time. if we are talking about the situation after 2014, then of course there were enough miscalculations. war, it can be said that the military was preparing for war, because for the first time since independence they had to actually conduct combat operations and perform the functions assigned to the armed forces, and on the other hand, you can give such an example. year yes, when the active phase of tourist operations there, if they had passed and the war began to take on such protracted and urban intensity characters, e-e, for example, the production of ammunition was not organized, not for small arms, nor for comrade ammunition of the main

calibers that were in service with our armed forces. this is a very revealing picture of the fact that, of course, our preparation for war was insufficient, let's say it was active and it did not correspond to the level of potential threats that objectively existed. to bring, for example, such an element as the preparation of territorial defense, in fact, it began only more or less fully in 2001, and the panel was not completed before the large-scale invasion. that is, you are now in a situation where actually we we count on foreign aid as a basis for our rearmament, and at the same time,

literally after rammstein, a publication appears that american officials there are happy in ukraine not to rush the offensive and, first of all, to expect all the help, which is a statement in the format of rammstein to master this technique and further already to talk about offensive operations, as evidenced by such e-e publications . they approach, again, going out and relying on the western theory of warfare, preparation of operations, operational art, well , it is extremely different from such a soviet or post-soviet school, which in principle is more inherent even in our military leadership, what can we say

that hm, of course, a rational grain in this is because er-e conducting and preparing for future er-e offensive operations from the goal of liberation for our er-territory we must er-e so to speak have sufficient reserves to maintain the tempo of the offensive throughout the depth, so to speak, of the construction in the enemy's axis, in particular, if we are talking about the same zaporizhzhia or southern direction as the most promising for an offensive, that is on average somewhere around 100 km. that is , our offensive must have sufficient resources in order to go through these 100 with battles km here, by the way, as an example, you can cite the

successful offensive kharkiv operation in the fall of this year, which, by the way , stopped at a certain stage because, most likely, our command had no more left of prepared reserves in order to bring them into battle and develop success. that is, we had to regroup and stop at this time, the russians started a medical campaign , and in fact, these first ones, who were not even prepared and mobilized, were the first ones to get used to exactly this matchmaking direction , and in fact, i apologize and in fact in this way i apologize and in fact in this way our offensive

in the swatov direction did not continue to develop at least at the same pace as it was before and if we are talking now about the situation in the enemy, when we expected another wave of mobilization from the enemy, it does not happen, why are we not noticing something, or is the enemy actually trying to form his reserves at the expense of such a gradual accumulation of forces and such a mysterious mobilization on his territory, what are your assessments well, i support those experts experts who say that the mobilization in russia is hidden, it continues almost all the time, even after the announcement in september, if this partial mobilization well, first of all, the

russians are constantly suffering losses and now losses have increased and they are constantly forced to replenish them at the expense of something , that is, they take away this resource which they are trying to prepare on the training grounds to form from them some combat-capable to one degree or another e-e parts of its units, respectively, of these people once again, it is necessary to replace this hmm sucker, roughly speaking , because of the resource’s military commissariat, it is constantly being cut, not so, most likely, massively, but well, it must also be said that, after all, the mobilization is not sufficiently level support in russian society, that is, there are of course people and there are propagandists who talk very

positively about it, let's say so, not on the air of the media and so on, but hmm, not every ordinary russian is andriy to find himself in the trenches under bakhmut or solidar panel thank you for your comments are on your time, and i will remind our viewers that the espresso channels are on the air, because ihor levchenko is an expert at the army research center on conversion and disarmament, and we have repeatedly mentioned artillery and ammunition because this is actually an artillery war where 80% of the whole on the battlefield, destroy precisely the account of the power of long-range means of destruction and the created and reactive systems of various purposes, that is exactly why we treat each rammstein meeting with such attention, as a result of which ukraine receives a significant amount of ammunition of various calibers, both for nato weapons and for weapons of soviet standards, but in any - in any case,

we understand that the need for ammunition is critically significant, just the other day there was an interesting article by the commander of missile forces and artillery, colonel serhiy baranov, in one from publications where serhiy baranov spoke about the fact that we first need to know the largest amount of artillery. he spoke about 600 systems of various calibers and i am talking about the fact that we are extremely actively using artillery and ammunition and our needs are growing. so now we will talk about specific features of the ammunition shortage does it exist at all, or if it exists, in what format with our expert, we have oleg katkov, editor-in-chief of defense-express, according to i congratulate you, have a good day, thank you, the invitation, i would like you commented for our viewers the statement about the projectile hunger that affects both our army and the army of our enemy, what is the general picture now, the balance of forces on the battlefield, which indicators are we using here, and what is

behind those with the number of 100,000 shots per month, what is the missile commander talking about artillery troops, so how is it perceived by the average viewer? well, first of all, we must take into account the fact that in the russian federation, at first, the profession was full of analimba, and they simply threw out as much as they could, they could somewhere around 60,000, and these indicators were as of spring, this indicator is changing , decreasing, and already if we take the latest intercepts from the main intelligence department . the only thing to understand is that this situation can be different in different areas of the front, in particular, the rashista, and it is quite possible, for example, to save combat losses in

one direction in order to mass them transport on another, but the situation that existed, for example, as of the summer, when the enemy simply had, well, a much larger amount of artillery ammunition in the rear - it changes daily, but here is a synopsis, because if you take it that way, the announced indicators are correlated with those, for example, what transmitted by the western mass media regarding the consumption of ammunition in ukraine, it turns out that approximately 3 to 3-4 thousand ammunition of ukraine can be used, and here it is not based on the amount of artillery, here it is based on the amount of ammunition itself and why, for example for quite a long time, the allies did not hand over artillery because they could hand over a hundred tables there by shelling, and for each risk, hundreds of tables would have 10 shells in general, but now the situation is over the edge, if you take the last announced packages , then on the contrary, the artillery with a caliber of 155 km there 105

km she left from the allies. in fact, the 155 mm savo is transferred by the americans to paladin, it is transferred to suzanne, it is transferred from denmark to caesar, that is, we are talking about the strengthening of the 155 km caliber artillery system. about the fact that they are actually our allies . well, let's say it is on the way to a successful solution to the issue of providing the armed forces of ukraine with ammunition. first of all, it should be remembered that the united states of america has a clear plan regarding the increase in the production of ammunition, and already

if last year it was already 14,000 of tactical 5 mm ammunition per month, now we will come in the spring it should be expanded to 20 and then uh doubled in the next few years rain metal for example, a european manufacturer, including ammunition, generally buys everything it sees on the market regarding the production of ammunition, in principle, the spanish manufacturer of ammunition was occupied, you were expanding, its production is invested in munitions production in countries such as bulgaria, romania, if i'm not mistaken , there will also be enterprises in eastern europe , that is, the process has started and there is confidence that ammunition production will expand even more. well, for example, the usa has opened such ammunition stocks in other countries, that is their own, but those located, for example , in israel and korea, that is, these ammunitions belong to the us army and they simply

take them from these countries and then hand them over to ukraine. the aspect regarding the fact that the supplies in europe and nato countries will run out, well, definitely not absolutely, but in relation to the rashi, it is necessary to take into account, again, the fact that they have their own ammunition production, but i am comparing , the american industry last year produced 14,000 1555-meter shells er, for a month. well, it will be fine. elementary consider that the russian industry has similar capacities, on the other hand, they are such, well, conditional allies, that is, iran is the first, which means weapons. it has, well, certain stockpiles of artillery wheels, weapons in soviet calibers, there is information that has been verified from the usa about the fact that korea supplies to the grifo arms there may also

be soviet ammunition, but that’s enough. the globalized western world is in principle against the russian federation + the dprk and what are the prospects for the restoration or production of soviet-standard shells for our artillery, also because we understand that a significant number of arteries of these standards or any way out of this situation as it is sought by our partners or ukraine itself, well, first of all, ukraine has already officially received notifications from ukroboronprom, that is, already on the production of 152 mm ammunition, and established, for example, the production of ammunition for mortars, that is the processes are ongoing . especially since the production of these soviet-caliber ammunition is carried out not only in the russian federation or in ukraine, it is carried out in particular , for example, in the countries of any warsaw pact. in the world, they use soviet stocks,

this is a certain market, and there are companies that produce soviet ammunition in this market, and there are also certain countries . of soviet caliber, that is, there are manufacturers in the world, but it must be understood that the only correct way in any case will be the transition to an artillery system exclusively of the nato model, because it is possible to replace them, it is possible to repair them for the second time 155 mm ammunition by itself is much more effective than the soviet one, in particular, even just in terms of dimensions, it is 10% larger, and when we are talking about ground artillery, when we are talking about thousands of shells, then 10% is a significant indicator that immediately becomes second only to the production technology itself western ammunition, it is much more modern than, for example , soviet ammunition, they use much better explosives
