special offers from december 24 to the second of february congratulations - this is freedom bark my name is my own azure we are starting western allies plan to send three battalions of tanks of the first and second will consist of german leopards, the transfer of which was announced by olaf scholz, and the third of the american abrams, the transfer of which was confirmed by joe biden . talons are needed - it’s a lot or a little. how tangible will this force become for the ukrainian army and what became a turning point for scholz and biden to make such decisions in the meantime ukrainian troops have completely left the city of soledar in the donetsk region, how will this

affect the defense of bakhmut? in the story with expensive eggs and if so, who will answer for this today svoboda life well, we start with a message about the soledar today the armed forces today in the armed forces of ukraine reported that ukrainian troops had left the city of soledar, i would like to remind you that from the beginning until january 11, russian troops had captured soledar - both the russian ministry of defense and wagner mercenaries and the so-called dpr leaders reported that only today the armed forces soledar all the same- ukrainian troops still left soledar, as reported by the armed forces of ukraine - this was done to save the lives of ukrainian soldiers well, as i already said, serhii cherevaty , the representative of the eastern group of the armed forces , said about it of ukraine, he said that the armed forces of ukraine fulfilled their main task, they did not allow the front line in the donetsk direction to be systematically breached. let me propose now, so

they already tell me that our guest is volodymyr nazarenko, the deputy commander of the freedom battalion, a lieutenant of the national guard of ukraine, joins our broadcast, my congratulations and volodymyra, please let me know how it is for you today, is mr. nazarenko with us, so far they tell me that we have no problem with communication yes, yes yes, mr. nazarenko, how is it today's message from the armed forces of ukraine about the fact that the ukrainian troops left soledar is a surprise for you. did it happen before? and it was just reported today. what you can say, how you can say it, how to use it in order to, for our joint victory and for the greatest possible impression of the military

, is actually very important the moment that the enemy is, let's say, there is no advantage in it is very difficult to communicate and provide information to private soldiers who were simply recruited and sent by force. well, it is not about the real state of affairs, including the fact that the ukrainian army takes a lot of prisoners due to the fact that they do not have information about interaction with their other units. widespread conflicts between various divisions, in particular, we clearly understand that in fact, in soledar, they occupied there, uh, numerous remnants of uh, the private company of putin's cook, uh, this wagner, and they became, you know, so simple uh, well, how can i say it the meat sat down in uh, let me

clarify if i understood correctly, soledar, the ukrainian troops left earlier, they just didn't talk about it and only said that today the situation is very dynamic and who is it like uh, they didn't pack their things, they packed a backpack they just took it and left, because it is constantly happening, the line of contact is very dynamic, and the ukrainian troops choose those places, those territories . that's what i said, i would like to draw your attention to the fact that the information contained in the mass media may be slightly different, or later or earlier, on the contrary, than it actually is, in order for the enemy to be misled, they do not have such a provocation . there is no way to get

information in time, there are conflicts between them, and in particular, including a large special information operation, which helped to get the remains of this private company vargner, including on the outskirts of solidar and in solidar itself, because certain parts of the russian team thought that there were ongoing battles, in fact they fought with those with the wagnerites and certain regular units that had little communication with other units were shelled that the very parts of the bathrooms, that is, there were even such cases, and moreover, the private company wagner religions did not want to release them, they were forced to occupy in fact , in a circular defense on the one hand from the ukrainian army, which is trying to save us ukraine from these criminal terrorists, and on the other side, the russian army did not understand and it was given the task of not

to release these criminals who were released on parole, that is, they used and fulfilled their role as cannon fodder and should have ended up in the fields of donbas in the northern direction of the bakhmut front . this private army of a private company was destroyed, this is really true, well, it's true . well, i just have to add that serhiy cherevaty, the speaker of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine, he actually confirmed that we announced this only now because it was so useful for the national security of the national defense, i conclude that after all, probably the ukrainian troops left soledar earlier, but really for some reasons , including you have given a number of reasons here, it was announced today, you know, the day before today, also the sianenes with reference to american officials reported that the

western party is calling on ukraine to switch its attention from the very tough multi-month struggle in the bakhmut direction to concentrate on a potential offensive in the south. point of view, as the american media write that the battles actually continue for every 100,200 m of land and the sides at the same time exchange several thousand artillery shots and the question arises how effective it is for you to answer this first i would like to say the last of your last question pochemu е ukrainian artillery is working very effectively . well, specifically, in the direction where it is worth being part of the fourth brigade of the national guard, every day with it and warehouses with ammunition and armor and dozens of ops remain cold in the trenches of the cold fields in donbass in the bakhmut area, so around bakhmut,

they remain there forever as his garbage that no one picks up and we see footage every day thanks to our air force, how no one picks them up already 500 of them just died if how uh well sorry on the word like garbage and they lie like garbage there, well, our artillery reduces the pace, eh . several attacks a all this was able to repel the artillery, but in fact , in the future, i will come to the first battle, and the filigree is simply masterful and heroic. the attacks that are taking place are approaching. the time of year is approaching to

open the weather conditions. it is quite a tense situation and there is a certain threat around the commander - this is so necessary between the eastern direction of the donetsk region and the direction there of the donetsk region so that the enemy there is more willing to respond maneuver which attempts to advance the people by tactical groups of the enemy, well, as a part of mechanized systems of some kind, that is, on bmps, with the cover of a platoon of tanks, or that was tried in one way or another function, why is there a place to break through the summer front, but it is more like the development of influence in order to identify all possible points in the ukrainian troops in order to er weak points, which in principle, this crown is quite a competent stress, it is a dynamic defense is primarily responsible for protecting every ukrainian soldier and destroying

as much manpower as possible to the enemy's equipment bodies, one more question today, of course , everything revolves around tanks, and diplomats and military consider this a great victory a great victory, but in the background of the tanks, which we will definitely talk about now , one more important message has been lost in my opinion about what i want to ask you about volodymyr zelenskyi signed the law on increasing the responsibility of military personnel and this document. you have definitely heard it criticized by human rights defenders and some military personnel who said that it severely limits the rights of the military to judicial protection tell me, please, do you support the signing of this bill or not? the law is more precise. to be honest, i even have a special time to take a cigarette. it is our task to give it my all. i understand that this is about military personnel, but in particular, as the

freedom battalion, there are a lot of volunteers who came to defend their land , their family and their cities, their nation, first of all, so i don’t quite understand the discussions, every ukrainian soldier, every uh in principle the warrior is a hero, he came to voluntarily enclose our territory and the entire ukrainian nation - this is one such single organism that shows an example in this world, an example of heroic struggle, and here i would like to draw your attention to the fact that there is a hmm well, there is really a threat of an offensive from the south and on the other hand, we have very, very difficult times ahead of us, and the enemy continues to raise forces, and it is not for nothing that there are threats to mobilize another 500 thousand or bio -garbage from russian watches, roughly speaking, and we will have to, after all, we simply have no

choice, this is our holy war, this is ours uh the struggle with our survival for the calling of the ukrainian nation for the freedom of everyone i know of each of our families for the freedom of our children that is why we fight fight and fight again hmm and as during the second world war the prime register of great britain appeared fight everywhere and on land and on the water, therefore, in any case, the person whose law this is did not read the tools here, our first task here is to give maximum effort to victory and to destroy as much as possible. of ukraine was on radio svoboda thank you very much wagner's mercenaries, who are mainly concentrated in the donetsk direction in the area of ​​the city of bakhmut, the soledars are suffering huge losses

. the new york times reports that the number of graves in the cemetery used by the wagner military command in the krasnodar region has increased by seven over the past few months times notes according to the new york times, after analyzing satellite images and video recordings, the journalists write that the increase in the territory of the cemetery coincides with the advance of russian soldiers and mercenaries in the east of ukraine, most of them probably died in the battles for bakhmut and soledar, today i will remind you that the armed forces of ukraine announced that for the sake of preservation and in the ukrainian military , they completely withdrew from the settlement of soledar in the donetsk region, and this message coincided with the announcement of berlin and the announcement of washington about its agreement to provide tanks to kyiv leopards and abrams, according to the broadcast , the colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine roman svitan joins in. good evening, good evening, we will certainly talk about tanks now. about soledar does the withdrawal of the armed forces of ukraine from soledar mean that bakhmut may

be surrounded in the near future or are such risks increasing? they don't say that bakhmut can be surrounded. and since the ukrainian army has moved a little westward, there is already an elevation to better positions, because in itself it is a solidary, it is constant, it is the region of the bakhmutka river. and with the elevation of the west, the western rivers of this river are much more comfortable. they will perform certain artillery tasks, because now they are in solidarity with the russian troops, as is the case with the ukrainian artillerymen, and a specific event is being held to destroy the russian troops in the same country, already

with the help of artillery. well, the western ones will not pass like this how is this tribulation, which begins immediately from the west, the smell of flour, and it in itself has good fortifications, the ukrainian army has conducted certain engineering and technical fortifications there therefore, further to the west, the russians will no longer be able to bypass it , at least from the server of the east. but the problem of bakhmut is mainly yuzhnoe, just in the area of ​​kordyumovka, in the area of ​​klichevka . е с горловки е- е в вышение горловки и провышение в бахмут и просмотреть доле этого пража двигаются, that is, the problem in bakhmut is mainly yuzhnaya, there is a question there are still problems with the road from konstantinovka bakhmut now our troops are precisely in this area him

the south-western bakhmuts are fighting heavy battles - this is a hold, it's a road, and it 's impossible - so that the russians don't have the opportunity to go around - bakhmutyuga, i understand you. okay, now, tanks, stay in touch with us and we'll start, let's start to talk about tanks, as i said at the beginning, the usa will send ukraine its m1 abrams main battle tanks, the president of the usa, joe biden, said this today, it is about 31 tanks, the media wrote, i would like to remind you that the supply of abrams from the usa was a condition for berlin in order to unlock supplying leopards here's what joe biden said today i'm announcing that the united states will send ukraine 31 abrams tanks, which is equal to one ukrainian battalion, minister ustin recommended this move because it will strengthen ukraine's ability to defend its territory and

achieve its strategic goals, this is what it's all about to help ukraine defend and to protect the ukrainian land is not a threat of an offensive for russia there is no offensive threat for russia if the russian troops are on the way to russia where they should be this war today ended well, germany, in the person of chancellor alla fasolets, announced today that it will send 14 german leopard 2 tanks to ukraine and will give permission to third countries to re-export these tanks. german defense minister boris pistorius said that the first leopards will go to ukraine in about three months. what is interesting today during during schulz's speech before the german parliamentarians, he was asked why the german authorities no longer believe that the transfer of tanks to ukraine will lead to an escalation of the conflict with moscow. i will remind berlin of these threats earlier explained the refusal to supply tanks to kyiv and this is what shalka replied: a new group in europe

really is at war not far from berlin, it is happening in the great country of ukraine. that is why we must make it clear that we are doing everything necessary and possible to support ukraine, but at the same time avoid escalation between russia and nato we will continue to always adhere to this principle our goal is to quickly provide two tank battalions together with our allies there are many countries that would also like to contribute to the supply and we we will coordinate and involve them so that it happens step by step, stay in touch with us , roman, well, how many anyway , how many tanks can ukraine count on now, and in what period of time did the media write that it was about three battalions, what are the quantities it also works for people who are not connected to the army, and three battalions - how much is it a lot or how little is it enough? and that

in the future, uh, one company is 10 tanks according to our classification, according to our regular schedule, channel 14 in strana ta but we have a company of 10 tanks, eh, three platoons of three tanks and one commander's, here is a company of 10 tanks , 3 companies, a battalion of 30 tanks, that is, eh, plus there may be one more, two tanks of commanders, but nevertheless, in 30 tanks, this is a battalion a battalion of tanks, one battalion of tanks will be transferred to the brigade for reinforcement if this is a brigade structure and the battalion will be transferred well, the decision to reinforce the brigades has been made, that is, it can be said that one brigade will have at its disposal , and the brigade will have two and a half 3,000 people to have at your disposal tank battalion about 30 vehicles mainly of one or the same brand or even if the brands are the

same in e-e in the same e-e in different brigades, who would at least one modification especially if it concerns the leopard mainly the fourth fifth sixth modification we will receive e-e from this means our partners , and uh, germany and other countries that agree to transfer these tanks to us, that is, 100 , which is now more or less clear, about three battalions will be leopards, that is, uh, it will be three brigades equipped these machines are at least three brigades plus there will be a battalion now, they have already confirmed the abrams battalion, too, about 30 machines 31 machines are confirmed nato classifications of 14 machines. i think that great britain

will transfer one more company to its e-e equipment . e countries producing tanks, we will have that means five brigades. we will have one and a half corps, or two , depending on how it will be divided . 120 tanks, this is already a tank regiment, 120 even more than 120 t-72 tanks, about forty tanks, one can say that a reinforced battalion of wheeled tanks is, well, french tanks, that is, in principle, good

we will only receive about 300 tanks in the area of ​​​​those we hear in the inform space, although there are still some chains of circular replacement, we will allow cyprus to transfer more than 80 t-80 tanks, that is, almost three more battalions in return delivered to greece, or rather the alleged delivery of the greciliopard of the leopards of cyprus well, greece will naturally claim already the leopard 2 tank of the seventh modification or 7b, this is the newest modification, that is, such chains will be replaced a little later, i think we will get at least 5 battalions, uh, this is again a brigade that can carry out offensive actions depending on the task at hand. valery zaluzhnyi spoke about 300 tanks in an interview with the time publication. if i am not mistaken, he and he said that he

needed 300 tanks to carry out a high-quality counteroffensive. and if we talk about the terms when all these tanks, taking into account the logistics of training, can already perform their tasks on the battlefield, i am definitely referring to western tanks, american tanks, not t-72 eh tanks tanks are delivered within two weeks two three weeks already ready tankers can be retrained in principle in a month, i think we will have at least european tanks by february, the end of february, march, rather, it’s still march. and maybe it’s the end of february, depending on the readiness of our crews. and since some countries already ready now to transfer tanks, you are poland,

she can already now transfer the main one, prepare the crew, it’s up to a month, well, the abrams, they are definitely allowed earlier, marta, i definitely won’t go, because uh, only now, they made a decision, that is, they will still be allocated a certain amount crew for training m.m. there are certain moments connected with the relocation and preparation by itself , therefore, i think i will choose mark before someone, and what do you think about sholtsi and baida, well, at least they said that they do not give such a technique because they are afraid of escalation and what escalation can now take into account that both scholz and biden announced the transfer of tanks . well, at the most, they can’t under this already informational wave, which the russians have now dispersed with this kind of transfer of heavy equipment, and they enlightened both germany and europe and the united states, in

particular, they can raise certain questions about the next wave of mobilization, or maybe about some kind of declaration of general martial law throughout the country for the purpose of bringing the entire country under military rule economy, although it is harmful to withstand such an ugly transition. i think it will be only a question connected with some kind of wave of mobilization, maybe even it will not be announced. and no more, i see that reuters reported today with reference to a conversation with american officials that the process of providing the abrams itself could take years. what do you think, was this a joke or is it serious? it could take years or even months. well and

it is possible to set a bigger task and for a century they will tighten the dependence on er some goals, they are abrams, let’s say, you can see how they went to poland from poland, she bought defenses and noticed the abrams summit, there are 72 of them, which she handed over to us in the summer they solved the question in transmission, i want to receive the abrams all the more why, even this time up to six months, i practically asked that under the abrams it was necessary to prepare a certain repair and technical engineering base, certain points are connected with services of these machines, ah, this base is already ready in poland, in poland it already accepts abrams, and we can simply use this european base to service abrams , as well as service american basques in europe .

to use it because i think it’s too long and the terms that are voiced are optimal it depends on that, to what extent is our diplomacy already at work and diplomacy that is more probably invisible, there are certain moments connected with some of our connections, our direct connections between our military, our general staff, the pentagon, i think , and the province poland will go to this level of the deal, that is, it will hand over a battalion of the older ones who are now moving towards poland. i think that in march we will see the abrams in our country, and to sum it up , why exactly now? these two countries

decided to provide tanks tanks is this is this part of some joint plan maybe there are specific plans for the offensive in the counteroffensive more precisely and specifically for this counteroffensive tanks are provided or it is i do not know there is such a version that why exactly such a number so that ukraine simply holds out and wins for a while western countries will think about how to respond further. do you have an answer to why exactly today, why exactly in such a quantity? is this part of some global plan or not? well , tanks and not armored weapons, tanks offensive weapons and tanks also need armor, that is, bmp infantry fighting vehicles are transferred in approximately the same amount that are needed. for such a number of tanks, that is, three hundred tanks, about 600-700 infantry fighting vehicles are needed to

accompany the tanks when carrying out combat tasks, they are not given to us, and therefore, these are not defensive precision weapons, so how defensive would be a little second, and these offensive weapons are given to us, at least for one operation with a large-scale the advance of one large-scale operation somewhere on the expansion of the fronts something we have 100 km e-e exit on the border e-e exit on the azov coast of the black sea of ​​the sea of ​​azov thank you very much roman svitan colonel of the reserve of the armed forces of ukraine was on radio svoboda
