[000:00:00;00] some really, this is probably in italy more soledar and bakhmut process, but it is also hot here because we are several kilometers from the crime scene in the forests in the south, so we don’t get anywhere near a few kilometers , we are every day. in us, it is practically no different from others, because the enemy usually works starting from the agss and there , artillery mortars are used in one of the settlements located far away from yampil .

the enemy cannot use artillery at a distance of up to 40 km. therefore, everything is very dangerous. every day , the enemy tries to attack our positions. some small groups. we have a bit of a pause now , i understand that the artillery is forced to work, and there is a p your part of e-e you have a need for it, it concerns

a certain part of the technical e-e of your unit . to the area, please, on january 2, it’s normal with uh, it’s a response, and on which we uh, we brought in people if they were wounded, it came under fire from a tank. we can say for now, it still needs uh, repair, but it needs to be s- glass and glass do and engine but during this time we for with the help of tv viewers, the guys joined in collecting the car. volunteers from europe on the one hand are bringing a car, but a car will be needed when it arrives in ukraine . it will need to be serviced so that it can be serviced at any time.

allowance for the maintenance of the car so that there are no unpleasant incidents in the forest and we will repair it, i don't know how long it will take, but the car is first of all a consumable for us because there was any moment in the forest even if we we put uh, we try not to leave three guys who come back from duty, we give them the keys. they go back to where we live, that 's why you and i are asking for tv viewers. we made quite a large layer. well, our division had two machines, so, well, literally now they are receiving this bill too. it’s literally 10 seconds

. who watches longer ? screenshot save this number for yourself rewrite it and help the armed forces of ukraine of a specific unit on a specific part of the front because it is important this is people's lives this is help this is speed efficiency well actually that's all that is needed this car should be in the possession of mr. oleksandr and his brothers and we have to do everything for this to support this thing, well, there will be this number, this number will be displayed on the screen and you will have the opportunity to join. the offensive that the russians can prepare is about various directions. by the way, we will talk about this today as tourists, sergey, in the future, well, in our program, where and how can this happen, or are there any signs that the enemy is accumulating strength precisely in the direction of the lymansk e-e for the offensive

is there a different situation, please? yes, i can say that the situation in donbas is approximately the same , the enemy is gradually accumulating, first of all, equipment, no, but the meat of people, which they called for the so-called mobilizations, and i think that it is somehow global , it is not will change the situation but not individually in the parts of the front, you know it is for her capture there and some settlements, no , no, but you know, they still do not care about those people who send them for us, uh, in russia , the population is large, and we have less, therefore , unfortunately for us even and we will continue to just like it was for not for hope i thank you very much, oleksandr, so you have joined, i am once again

asking the audience to support this account that you see now on the screen, this is an account to which you can throw money to donate so that the fighters could buy a car pay for it there, bring it to its senses and technologically work so that it is necessary for movement. thank you very much , oleksandr oleksandr doroshenko, an officer of the national guard, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council, he was in touch with us . let's continue to talk about the front but but a little later i just want to announce a little what we will talk about well, i don't know how it will turn out in fact, but we plan to talk more about the possible offensive of the russian army about the terms about the directions about the scale and sergei zgurtsem today in the military results of the day we see that today is friday if you remember then on friday we always do it near the map of hostilities sergey with me er or i with him

and we tell in detail, we show that something can happen, it is important to understand and it is important to understand the most important thing here right now , ah, hmm, let's put it verbally, russia in the person of putin does not give up on a big war, they scare war and there for 10 years, what will we be of course with on the one hand it is intimidating you know, efforts to cause despair in ukraine and our partners that this can last forever, on the other hand, we understand that nothing can last forever, even such a huge army as adolf hitler's army was, it and its partners there with it was also italy and hungary and romania we we remember which countries then joined this nazi regime which waged a great war against the civilized world and even it found its end in the 45th year . it is clear that putin is not eternal either and his resources are not eternal well, but we need to talk about that to remember today, by the way, is about the fact that today, by the way, is holocaust remembrance day, i will say a little later, because it is important, but now we are bringing into the conversation igor shvayko , a serviceman of the izyum separate battalion of the defense forces of ukraine

, mr. igor is conducting his the war in the bakhmut area, igor, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine. i salute the heroes. well, i say my war and our whole war, but you are there where they are fighting. i would like to call about, again, what can be said about the situation in the bakhmut area today's day and in in general, the trends of the situation in recent times, please. i think that i will not say more than what all experts of researchers and development are saying, without exception, they are accumulating. we also keep that line of defense as much as possible. region ending with donetsk region and the direction that goes to the zaporizhzhia region, this part is actually very important because in their bent heads, i mean this non-state, which is called terrorasha, is a manic task

liberate the entire territory of the donetsk oblast er-e it was the donetsk oblast of ukraine this is donetsk region ukrainian and it will forever be ukrainian well but er-e we have to take into account this manic desire therefore we have to confront them with our own skills our successes our achievements our know-how certain, because every time we invent new ways , like these norms that you are now showing . in fact, there are not more than two of them and you have to smoke, well, practically every single person in order not to pass their positions in order to identify those groups that will be suitable. and here are these burrows that you will tell about, they go out into the field and dig them there. are their positions stationary because they do not look like stationary positions ? there where it fell there there there you still have to dig there you have to hide there there is a whole science for sure we will not tell you on the live

air how to dig in properly dig out but eh how do the guys joke with each other when the need arises yesterday you couldn't dig a trench with a shovel you can dig it out tomorrow, you can dig it out faster than yesterday with a shovel, a spoon or a mouse or a mug, well, if you want to live, you will bury yourself, to the great regret of their fools , they have learned something, in particular , they have learned to bury themselves, they have learned to hide, and you have to watch very well to control their movement, so that they do not gather in groups and track practically, one at a time, two at a time, at the most, for the last uh, there is the last time . that's what i see, well, five years, well, in eight people in one place. these are at most minimal groups, and these norms for so that they hide from the drones so that they hide from the eyes and as soon as there is an opportunity they move they start

digging the next hole so that some next group will follow in their footsteps. about the fact that whole companies of strike drones will be created in ukraine. i definitely think that strike drones are not used there. but in principle, this is good news. please tell me whether there is currently a certain possible decrease in the intensity of artillery shelling from the enemy or actually, no matter what , this is the intensity of the battles offered by these and the mobilized and wagnerian cadres of the military cadres , all gathered there, it does not change. uh, our colleagues nearby are evaluating uh, lagers have become a little less , you can see what is ending, and some others are becoming more kadyrivians. well, apart from me, they probably don’t do anything, tiktok gas stations and shoot more, or show some ostentatious pictures, but if allow me to go back to drones, not everything we say on live air

is the truth and not everything we say on live air is true. basic technical education, which is for ordinary drones, where video shooting is done by the pishechts, they try to attach grenades to it with the maximum weight so that it is already that drone that turns from nothing into a weapon , which can hit the enemy, there are whole armies who are lying on the tables in the basement, there are people, guys, who are calm from ordinary tourists, let's say that, let's call them there. drones make a good weapon in order to defend their position and repel those idiots who came to seize our land, and this process is relentless and well, not all that is in the statistics it is on the battlefield, on the field, in the dugouts and in the trenches

. it is much more interesting here than the level that we can talk about, and i understand that in order to support those ukrainian forces that are standing in the donbas, not particularly on this line of the northern dara bakhmut, of course, there is a large group there, but in any case, the new weapon that will arrive, according to your feelings, it was critically important at at this stage, is it possible or well, i understood that they will wait and there are forces and means to wait and you want to carry out certain commands there, but the situation is not faster than the supply of weapons in ukraine and people who know how to use them, as much as it could. it will have a drastic effect today on the situation that exists on your part of the front. well, we were literally just there a couple of hours ago what kind of weapons do we have, official and unofficial, they counted how many are regular and how many of them are trophy, how many of our own transport and how many vehicles

are there ? because what we went through. we went through as a territorial defense battalion with weapons that were provided for by the staff of a territorial defense battalion. full-fledged unit of the armed forces of ukraine, so we just have to catch up with this self-arming. and you know, that's why it's very funny to hear when some experts start saying that the ukrainians won't be able to get new types of weapons there in two, three, five weeks. well, not actually with their own eyes, people come and dig them e.e. bmp or armored personnel carrier or half an hour for examination and then for identifying defects, and

if it is not damaged, then after two hours it will already be on the road, performing tasks only at 180°, all weapons are turned to the side the enemy is the same situation with new tanks and any other types of weapons. i am sure that for our soldiers who are used to fighting today with improvised means and are no worse than the enemy, getting new weapons will certainly serve its positive role, this is undeniable the fact is to learn well, to be honest, there is no such thing as military personnel leaving for the training program to study for one or another weaponry for 2-3 weeks. well, in fact, the question arises. why is the course of the program and theoretical and practical discipline so long? place a maximum of one or two weeks and calmly return to the position, because there is no better criterion than

practice. and today, practice is somewhere from the kupivshchyna, uh, starobylshchyna, to uh, solidar bakhmuta, turkish , and so on, and so on, to our ukrainian crimea. thank you very much mr. igor take care igor shvayka, a soldier of the izyum separate battalion of the territorial defense of the armed forces of ukraine, by the way, he was the minister of agrarian policy in the ukrainian government before, a ukrainian politician, but now ukrainian soldiers who, in this war, defend our land in the direction of bakhmut. thank you very much, mr. igor. by the way, it is interesting that many ukrainian ex-politicians, ex-ministers , ex-prosecutors ex-ex-ex ex are in the war, and russians. something is not visible. this is in the sense that our people are fighting and that is good. and this is the guarantee of our victory in this existential war, which even putin has already recognized as existential, because it is simply a fact that cannot be ignored . we will talk about the war in less than a minute . we will take a colleague and sergey with a player

. wait, join the community. with with a ukrainian view of the world, become a sponsor of the espresso youtube channel. and this is access to exclusive content, personal thanks, fixed comments, special icons and the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian view . i congratulate you, this is freedom life on radio freedom, we have already reached the very change the following frames may shock you news from the scene live drone attack kamikade ze analytics objectively and meaningfully there is no

political season exclusive interviews reports from the hottest points of the front frankly and impartially draw the conclusions of the day and with me at the map serhiy zgurets director of the defense express agency serhiy congratulations i congratulate you vasyl congratulations to the audience today we will summarize the main results of this week and determine the most vivid events at the front about it for moment well, the first question that i will ask you sounds like this : the defense forces have officially retreated from soledar, they actually talked about it, they recognized it as a fact, how is the russian offensive unfolding in this area the front, what threats it poses to the armed forces of ukraine, and the work was carried out after the first impression was secured, which means the enemy's manpower and the withdrawal of the ukrainian armed forces to prepared positions already behind the railway connections across the river on the heights

from where we are now carrying out the atalian impression of the enemy, but in general the situation in soledar is a reflection of the enemy's attempt to either cover bakhmut or ensure a frontal attack on the city, the enemy does not succeed, and therefore the enemy is making the main emphasis precisely for the attempt to encircle bakhmut from different directions, in particular, precisely the attempts to act in the direction of krasna gora, spraying in order to ensure the rear of one of the routes, as it does not provide supplies to bakhmut along the line bakhmut, e.e. siversk, and this is a more dangerous situation - it is actually the enemy's attempts to move from klichtivka to ivanivske to another route that hits bakhmut and kostyantynivka, yes, in the area of ​​klichtivka, powerful hostilities are ongoing, the enemy is trying to advance along the channel that goes right to ivanivske, there is

a penetration of our defenses and this section is now remains the most difficult, by the way, the wagnerites are no longer operating there, unlike in the other area, it is the regular unit of the russian army and there is a penetration of our defenses, but there the situation is also connected with the fact that the height starts behind the pincers and there our troops are trying at the expense of e- e dominant heights, the use of artillery is trying to prevent the advance of the enemy, but in any case, we understand that both the tick and the situation in the paraska zone in kyiv and krasnoy gora are quite dangerous and they really create a potential threat of cutting those routes that will provide bakhmut, although i will say that not only the kostyantynivka bakhmut route or the bakhmut siversk route are the only routes where you can provide bakhmut with everything you need, there are also other roads that can bring

supplies to bakhmut and we actually understand that the dynamics in bakhmut itself, it will develop from what forces and means we will receive on this part of the front, how we will continue to hold back our opponents, who are trying, including, to carry out assault attacks even head-on against the defenders bakhmut, at the expense of which the enemy manages to advance, it was possible in soledar and in klishevka, it is due to unlimited resources, e. of the russian army, when we talk about the soldier , there were, as you can understand, several nuances, because in fact , on the one hand, the enemy used the tactics of small units and the advantage in artillery, and when the positions that were actually guarded by our defenders were completely destroyed. that is logical

it was actually necessary to withdraw our units because there is nothing to defend from the point of view of the physical objects themselves, where you can hold some kind of defense , this situation was also in some areas in front of bakhmut itself, where actually this tactic of small units sometimes gave certain opportunities to the enemy to squeeze through our defense but if we talk to our guys who are holding the defense there, they say that we are really now looking for options to counter these small groups. so when we talked to er literally with er yuri serdyuk who is now one of the shooters with a grenade launcher in the bakhmut area, he says that we can see where it is moving, we use grenade launchers, machine guns, and we actually destroy and talk out the enemy's manpower, and when they say that foreign special services or foreign analysts recommend that our leadership leave bakhmut then there is an answer from the theater headquarters that in fact we have all the possibilities to keep ahmet and further destroy

the enemy's enemy force because any withdrawal for the future there, you make it deep, our territory is all the same means that later we will have to vacate our territory in the same way with certain losses, so now we are holding the defense, this is the optimal opportunity to hold the defense as long as there is something to defend if we are talking about those of all the buildings that have been built in the bakhmut zone, well, actually, we can say that we have already talked about bakhmut, but i will only add that the enemy is constantly dispersing information that bakhmut will fall here and the armed forces of ukraine must retreat from it . well, actually, you were waiting for an answer, if you want you can add to this. well, i think that we cannot clearly know what forces and means the general staff has when planning this or that operation and all these assumptions that we make, we make on the basis of limited information, we understand that and foreign experts and even foreign special services also operate on part of the information that allows them to draw different conclusions, so that in any case the final decision

remains directly with the general staff. because the entire amount of information and understanding of the dynamics on the battlefield and in the season bakhmut and in other areas directly of our general staff, and this will precisely influence the choice of strategy, how we will deter the enemy defensively or carry out counterattack actions, well, actually , we talked about bakhmut, i will only ask whether the enemy can use the same tactics of small groups. well, the artillery actually on dozens of kilometers that were easy to destroy, well, now of course a completely different war has begun but again, is there a certain uh-uh landscape here that allows it to be done and maybe in the zaporizhzhia region, for example there it's a completely different story there, it won't work with the aggressor. well, when we talk about the tactics of small groups, we can say that this is an impression on a protected defense. other parts of the front about, well, about

the same ugledar, what is there to talk about a little later, in fact, the spokesman of the east command said that uh, uh, 58 attacks of the enemy, nominal attacks, take place in a day, that means that every half hour, every 25 minutes this group is trying to advance somewhere, it dies there, someone remains on the ground after literally a few minutes . will it work in other directions? well, let 's talk about different areas, the situation may be different, but we understand that we draw conclusions from these tactics of the enemy , work out methods of countermeasures, and actually have to take into account the mistakes because in the not yet separate areas of the front from our regiment, there were mistakes at the level of certain commanders, including junior comments, and when zelenskyi conducts the supreme voting rate or says that attention should be paid to

the training of commanders, this is an echo of that including certain mistakes at the level of the front, for which we now have to draw conclusions and protect ourselves from those miscalculations that were in certain areas of confrontation by the athlete well, the army is really learning. someone had more experience, someone is already gaining experience in this war, someone is only now joining the war, and this is the same problem, therefore, of course, there is no way without it . of course, i wanted conclusions to be drawn. and yet again, the conversation about a large-scale offensive continues. very fragmentary and fragmentary information begins to see this offensive where it is possible and there is none, as we now see a comprehensive one, if the joint from the southern direction moves towards the donetsk region and the zaporizhzhia region, then can we say that oh there has already started an offensive because well, or on zaporizhzhia or to ugledar, because you said about these combat clashes near ugledar 58 per day

well, there were also certain advances or attempts in the direction of zaporizhzhia this week , so we are really talking about the fact that the southern front has somewhat revived, but we need to understand the dynamics of this supply the dynamics of this activity when we talk about e.e. zaporizhzhia . it was just during the week that the enemy attempted to conduct combat operations there. gulyaipole e.e. orikhov there were four settlements where the enemy tried to to advance received a decent response and actually returned to his starting positions after suffering losses and actually here the dynamics have not changed in any way. but the situation is much more difficult just near the ugledar. because there are many components here, the owner is important for us and important for the enemy, he is important for us, relatively speaking as the proximity of the control to this railway line, which is literally

10 km from volnovakha, allows you to cut off fire strikes on the e-e connection , which is important for the enemy to feed everything grouping and actually it is important as a greeting for a possible offensive offensive actions on the movement to mariupol, and for the enemy everything is precisely the opposite, he is trying to push us away from ugledar there are active hostilities going on right now and ugledar is important for the enemy in order to create a threat on the grouping of our troops, which are concentrated in the zone of donetsk , and actually create the prerequisites for blocking our next one, so now the ugledar is being played, and now we see a video where the enemy is actually firing at the ugledar literally a video there two days ago, there is now a restored 155th marine brigade, the 40th marine brigade

, who have restored their forces after we destroyed them significantly in the previous times, when they twice already announced that they were taking and even took from ugledar and now the enemy, just as under bakhmut, is trying not only to storm vugledar in the frontal, but is trying to go around from two sides, expanding the line of attack there through pavlivka and mykilske and the settlement of shevchenko, they are actually right and left conventionally speaking from eh the coal miner himself, and the situation there is not easy enough, thanks to the information of the same serhiy cherevaty, literally five tanks were destroyed there yesterday, three bmps, three unmanned aerial vehicles are being destroyed there. by the way , the 52 helicopter, which the enemy is using to carry out up to three bombing raids this week it will be taken like this, that is, and in fact , some of them were precisely in the south, where the enemy actually

uses aviation to support offensive actions, so this is the most tense area now on uh, these front lines, although some experts say that that despite the fact that the enemy is testing our defense and actually even the efforts under the ruler are still a diverting direction and at the same time the enemy is accumulating more forces, primarily in the north, we are talking about the fact that precisely the luhansk region may be the biggest priority for the enemies in the next 2-3 weeks where exactly in the zone of the luhansk region, and those units that were trained as belarus overturned there p- two airborne assault brigades and operatives who are already fighting precisely in the matchmakers of flint and crime and deter
