have direct contact with one of them, igor shvayka , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine in the donetsk region of ukraine in the past and a people's deputy and minister of the communist party of ukraine. congratulations, igor can you hear us glory to ukraine death to the enemies well, let's start with yesterday's speech of the president. he said that ukraine is preparing for a possible new offensive by russia. he said experimentally, russia wants revenge. what exactly where it didn't work, wants to take the east is our task. do not give them such an opportunity to provide appropriate weapons until the moment when our army is strengthened, we believe that we have every chance. well, i said about bakhmut, in particular, we will fight as long as we can. we consider bakhmut our fortress , we consider our heroes who are there. with a long-range vehicle, we will not only move away from bakhmut. we will begin to occupy donbas, which has been occupied since the 14th year. tell me , did you hear this address of the president yesterday at ground zero and

what is the attitude towards these words? well, i think that heroes are not only those who died under the bahmut, but those who hold on to the last word of the panel well, you know, today i can certainly characterize such a mood by the behavior of one of our company commanders, who at the time of the start of the full-scale invasion was a little more than 30 years old and a person works without a single day of vacation, a break without anything, with full responsibility for the work of the company. for more than 11 months, this entire period of time, the entire period of time, in their own positions, the attitude of the ukrainian soldier today is once read you know about this, you know, you are a little tired, but with the awareness that you have to go to work and you have to do the work, and the work consists in destroying today our enemies who came to our land not a year ago, who were always by our side, they different things were introduced freely against ukraine. so

, today's mood corresponds to the mood of our brother vitaly. he is a little tired , but you know, his hands are a little slow, but he does not stop for a single second and continues to perform the amount of work that is increasing and more and more every day uh, we manage to joke, we manage to plan uh, some kind of post-war life, we discuss what was in the pre-war regime. in addition , many of our guys there have a veterinary education , we are already talking about animals and how they will be to develop after our victory and the situation in the area directly on which today's attention is focused, well, without exaggeration, it is no different in the world in a week, in two, in three, in five, if you prepared better, you got your positions, if you gave in, well, you

retreated and god grant that there would be a second line which at this moment will begin to become the first during this time nothing has changed and the mood is suitable, no one is going to give up, if there are retreats, there are tactical retreats eh well , for example, if someone's small unit is not ready and you you understand that the front line will not change in our favor, and if there is an opportunity to fight back , then you can keep your personnel as much as possible , then you can move forward. it was in february, march, even april. it is no longer there. there is such a good, monotonous job, fighting a war, as they say in our country, or defending your country. come to work , please, if you land a little. here we are on the map , and you, accordingly, are already directly from the scene of the events, where the most pressure is

enemies, if we are talking about bakhmut, what is the situation in soledarsky, north of bakhmut, from the plaster, does the enemy manage to penetrate further and capture strategically important locations , including the railway there, for example , or other arteries that feed bakhmut for the civilian population and the humanitarian heart, well, the enemy always tries to make us as painful as possible, uh, he does this in kharkiv and in kramatorsk and in kostyantynivka and in turkish, i don’t even speak about bakhmut or about soledar, who, well, practically no longer exists as a city there is no architectural unit in which one can in principle live, a place where people live , uh, their logic is very simple, they want to block roads, if you look at the map, there are certain bends, there is a task to block the road to bakhmut

, uh, this is an old task, it is partially done was reached by our enemy, they were partially stopped, simpleton i thought that i would not speak, a lot has already been said, they have discussed this topic, but well, the question is in itself, neither bakhmut, nor soledar, nor, er, other towns, they do not solve a single question for cerebral palsy. they are all they still remain local successes that go through the destruction of thousands of people there according to the baba principle and that are offensive. and strategically, they do not solve anything, yes, they make logistics difficult for us. yes , we plan in a different way the units that are standing left right uh, well, if in our country it is customary to say this, you would see this front line in front of you, and the one who is standing directly on the defense of this or that area , he sees in front of him uh, the front, he sees

the left flank and the right flank, and the main thing is that from the left and right flank were neighbors and not enemies, so that the left and right flank did not accidentally leave the battlefield and there did not turn out not to be comrades, but the enemies who will come to you, this is the main rule that you must keep and your line of responsibility, you know the best, this is how i feel today, having work experience and in in the parliament and in the ministry. and when you represent ukraine many times on the international arena, uh, that's a good principle, planning uh , strategic radio, local, or planning a global, operational war - it's just an opportunity to combine these two principles to plan a global operation, but you see within your limits a couple of three kilometers or a place where do you go and directly do this or that work from such small cubes will make up the overall picture of their offensive well , i understand that he is most likely a pr

populist in sloboda donbas eh well, that's what i understand from the donbas itself well, in essence , destroy this empire that will fall anyway, it will be destroyed, the terrace must be destroyed and otherwise it will not pass eh today from other i don't see any tasks there, mr. igor. well, in a nutshell, petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol, says that in mariupol, the russians are telling the locals that they have a task from putin until march to capture zaporizhzhia. what are your russians there spreading gossip about in your direction in donetsk, well, the russians are alive. we have not seen those who are captured alive, they tell a little different things, that they wanted to escape from the front, they were mobilized . they are poor, unhappy, they came, they only told that they cannot get home today and so on those who are captured become much more calm, balanced and provide

objective information . thank you, igor shvayka, a fighter of the zaes, a military serviceman from the ukrainian donetsk region. officer of the volunteer formation of free ukraine, people's deputy of the previous 8th convocation, we congratulate you, mr. andriy, i wish the ukrainian nation better health , mr. yury, tell me what the situation is in your direction, what uh, and about this task to take to vugledar and zaporizhzhia, which seems to be putin's to the russian troops, why exactly ugledar zaporizhzhia where is ugledar well, in general, the scope was given by ugledar from zaporizhia, it is not clear what you think about these gossips, please discuss the gossip, we can pickle time to discuss the situation on the front line and uh. let's say, remember how putin said that, you know, it's already full, but they will take kyiv in three days, but they cannot take bakhmut

six months ago, when we are talking about such a large city of zaporizhzhia, they can take it at such a pace 10 years old, if they even have enough reserves of power and human life, because putin, no matter how he plans his global operations, continues to remain a mortal man, and obviously he may not see how this shameful the military campaign, the aggression that he launched against our country, they can plan anything, corrections, the main main corrections, all plans are carried out by the armed forces of ukraine, because they get the territory , the first stage, and the second stage, how they inflict fire damage in the depth of the enemy's rear, they do not allow him to concentrate and use the reserves for , let's say, the spillover of success in these areas, and i

am skeptical that they are going to take such a large city as zaporizhzhia there by some date uhu mr. andriy tell please, the left bank of our southern ukraine. let's talk a little about its prospects . people have been under occupation there for almost a year, and it is clear that the occupiers have managed to make their living conditions comfortable and so on. what options do you see for the development of events on the left bank, where would it come from? it is more logical to start the process of deoccupation of these territories by simply looking at the map. now you are asking me a question at the level of the chief of the general staff, this is his competence, because they have an understanding of the whole picture of understanding what we have forces and means in every area, and plus the cunning of the plan and the skill of our military. and if i say to focus

purely on the map and how it should look, that's what i'm talking about, military experts have already commented on our broadcast several times times that according to the logic of the liberation of crimea should be preceded by the liberation of, for example, the occupied territories of the donetsk luhansk region, this is supposedly more logical because it will not give the enemy the opportunity to hit us in the side , roughly speaking, when we will follow the deoccupying of our south, what do you think? that any offensive operation will always have a certain sense of threat er out of two things, the first is how much we will be able er not only to deepen the depth of the enemy's defenses but to be provided logistically in order to be able to continue the offensive once we are entrenched. the same applies to the enemy, and in order to take such a large

territory, such as the liberation of the kherson region and then the crimea, we need first of all to weaken the grouping of the troops of the russian federation in this territory in such a way that they are unable to put up high-intensity resistance . therefore, we need to destroy, for example, the logistics across the crimean bridge, which is being restored enough , to also destroy the crossing, yes, yes , about uh. we must also do everything to deprive uh -e logistical support via land and when we e-e alternately have to solve such complex tasks by elements of complexity, if we ensure full fire control over the e-e logistic e-e land corridor, this will create

absolutely unfavorable conditions for obtaining and the conduct of military operations, therefore, the grouping of troops that will, let's say, hold the southern direction, therefore, if we are talking about a phased approach, it is obvious that , according to logic and military goals, it would be correct to implement such a scenario of actions , let's head-on, let's say to go into a head-on collision with the possibility of a constant supply of ammunition and everything necessary for the russian troops to continue their actions, well, this is, uh, a very sky-high wall can be such a military apparatus, so that the ukrainian military continue training on british challenger two tanks, the ministry of defense of great britain reports and say that they have already mastered the control of these tanks this week, the tank crews of the armed forces of ukraine quickly mastered

the control of powerful challenger 2 tanks, the ministry of defense of great britain has announced that great britain is providing ukraine with challenger two tanks to help defend its to return the territory to the homeland, says the message to andrii when do you think these heavy weapons can already be deployed on the front line with our learned and trained crews, please here it is worth thanking both the politicians and the great britain for how powerful they are in the implementation of this necessary military-technical assistance and they really occupy such a leading position now in making the difficult weapons, tanks and airplanes were in ukraine already now, indeed, training is a necessary element so that when such a moment comes, everything is ready , including equipment and personnel. i always keep

in my memory how events developed provision of the first batch of javelins, when we said for a long time that we need non-deterrence weapons and, uh, there were also very long talks about the fact that in the future, in the future, in the future, someday , uh, these types of weapons will be delivered, meanwhile, it was already uh- is laid on the territory of ukraine under appropriate control and supervision , and we post facto published such information that ukraine already has this weapon and is ready to use it because we have the corresponding training program and personnel the warehouse is also undergoing intensive vyshkiv to what i am leading it to, that obviously no one will allow eh well, being in his right mind eh live on the air to accompany eh a company

supplying heavy eh equipment such as challenger-2 or lapard-2 or on the other hand, so that it is practically live, it is obvious that this will be done at a hidden moment in order not to allow the enemy to destroy this logistical moment, let's say, the supply of the weapons we need. therefore, it is obvious that when the crew is ready and we will be to see that on the technique of which great britain or in the ukrainian military is passing through vyshkiv in poland. there will come a certain moment when it will be carried out before the possibility of using e-e already according to its direct object, everything is launched and

our military is undergoing training. the capability of weapons in the appropriate directions for the development of our success . convocation joined our broadcast. well, we are talking about the prospects in view of what is in our hands right now. it seems to me that when we talk about the ukrainian south, about the deep keel of our enemy, we should not forget that yesterday an important story happened , giving us a more reliable approval and an official the statement regarding the provision of long-range glsdb winged bombs to us actually opens up new opportunities for us and what exactly we will ask oleksandr kovalenko , the military-political commentator of the information intelligence group, mr. oleksandr. greetings

glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good day what about jsdb, there will be questions when , so to speak, the warehouses of the united states of america are emptied with the available weapons . that these are slightly different terms, according to which program we receive gsb, well, you know, if we are talking about the delivery of any weapons under this or that program, according to this or that formula, they are intended for a-but it still seems to me that we we will not always receive for discussions on open sources of full-fledged information or if we are even talking about e-e because of a moron here it is interesting here is the information that ukraine can get them for the first time was published back in 2022, it was constantly

talked about and why were they talking about these ammunitions , as if they were still eh of the transition period, such a transitional a-a step from a rocket to the operational-tactical level is such but why did they talk about them in particular and not put emphasis on eticems and this happened in the 22nd year uh- uh because i understand that the supply itself is already uh, um, the necessary quantity, the batch, the possibilities of use, they were already uh , debatable in the 22nd year, and the decision-making took place during this period, because it’s not for nothing, uh, it’s not so easy, ben wallons , the minister of defense of great britain, back in in december 2022, i even thought that great britain could provide ukraine with, for example, air-based missile weapons on the topic of what the starushaid are, well, missiles that can destroy objects at a distance of 25 0 km

and have a warhead of 4 e-e kilograms , i.e., an alternative to attacks and er why er here let's put it this way, it is necessary to carefully study and understand that we can receive these missiles in several directions, according to several programs , they will even say yes, logistically they can already be located at some transport hub, for example in europe, but the issue of receiving them to ukraine can also be well it will be decided. it seems to me that the delivery to our territory will be in the next few days, and i do not rule out that at the end of february, the beginning of march, we may even receive them. but it will not be known in open sources. only after some time we will learn more details about the use of this or that program

for certain periods. but again, most of such agreements are secret. and many people do not know about them, mr. oleksandr . offensive, these assault brigades will take part in the liberation of luhansk , donetsk, crimea, as announced by the ministry of internal affairs. well, according to the minister of internal affairs, ihor klymenko, the brigades have already received the names of storms red viburnum kara-dag border of spartam azov steel border and fury offensive guard are professional volunteer assault brigades of the ministry of internal affairs, teams of patriot fighters who seek to exterminate the enemy and liberate the occupied lands of ukraine. the border services are waiting for you in the steel crow brigade. and in our country, the steel border is asking for the police in the rage brigade . what is your general attitude towards the formation of such volunteer volunteer brigades? well

and wasn't this decision too late, of course, it's never too late , but shouldn't it have been done? well, last spring, when the number of volunteers was much larger, please. yes, it seems at first glance that this is exactly how it would have been , it would have been the right decision, but on the there was a really large number of volunteers at the time, but of what specification, for what purpose, that is, when there is a need for some rather narrow specialized profession of the military plan. medium easy about him, they are a gazebo and so on, this is a narrow specialization, especially when we say it also about a rap operator or an operator instead of an anti-aircraft missile complex, and so on, but we are talking about these are the units that we can actually call the infantry a

then this is a little different, and there are already needs for the formation of such units and definitely their provision, and other issues arise. the police already have functions not only of an offensive contrastive nature, they will perform tasks, but also police functions in the liberated territories, and a large number of units of such composition that will perform such functions may be needed in the near future. that is, this is also a hint. let's say that the counteroffensive in the armed forces of ukraine to be, when, exactly, in which direction, well, that's another question , well, the only thing i'll clarify is that, oleksandr , they're called assault brigades, not

police brigades, that's exactly what we chose. well perhaps they will also be used for some police functions, but still with a bias in the direction of offensive offensive actions . if we speak globally, this project is called the offensive guard. we are talking about it , dear ones. well, if we talk about temporarily occupied territories, then of course the national police is there well, we understand that it is not used, that is, these units are used, but they are not as active as the national guard . a combination of assault actions and police functions, this is temporarily released by those released in the past occupied territories, this is exactly their
