scold me my name is my own azure today in issue ukraine in anticipation of another big russian attack russia may launch another large-scale offensive during in the next ten days, the western media will write about how they are preparing for this offensive in the donbass, in the most vulnerable region, we are talking to the head of the donetsk region live in the meantime the recruiters of the wagner pvc are again touring russian colonies in search of mercenaries, with what forces and resources is russia going to fight next well, and against the background of the expectation of another offensive in ukraine, they almost fired the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, they first announced the dismissal and then changed their minds that it was not a matter of time russia may launch another large-scale offensive against ukraine within the next ten days , financial times writes about this with reference to an unnamed

adviser to the ukrainian army, who kyiv has very reliable information about russia's intentions to launch an attack, analysts write that the publication believes that the place for a new attack could be the western part of luhansk region in the area of ​​kliminnaya and liman, which were repulsed by ukrainian troops during the counteroffensive last fall. russia has been accumulating troops there for several weeks in a row. moscow is also gathering troops in the south of the donetsk region, and especially many units are being deployed near the occupied mariupol, the adviser to the mayor of mariupol petro andryushchenko said that the russian military in mariupol are telling local residents that they received an order to attack vugledar, the areas to the southwest of bakhmut are donetsk region and the cities of the zaporizhia region , including zaporizhzhia, according to andryushchenko, russia is focused on the mariupol direction and advised more precisely 30,000 troops. volodymyr zelenskyi in yesterday's evening address also stated that there are many reports that already in february russia will try, i quote, to make up for last year's defeats. well, zelensky in particular also mentioned donetsk region, where,

according to him, the situation is extremely difficult actually about the situation in the donetsk region . we will now talk to the air, the head of the donetsk regional military administration, pavlo kyrilenko, is joining us. i am glad to welcome you, mr. kyrilenko. as long as there are no western tanks , volodymyr zelenskyi reacted on the same day and said that no one will surrender bakhmut, british intelligence reported today that in the last week russian troops significantly complicated the situation for the defenders of bahmut. do you understand what development scenarios can be implemented around bahmut in general in donetsk region, because that is where russia concentrates its forces the most. so the situation is quite clear, and

the accumulation of troops of the occupying forces and what is left of the so-called dnr lpr - this is the bakhmut direction - this is the avdiiv direction , the novopavlov direction, this is exactly ugleda. and the general staff of the command of the armed forces in the supreme commander-in-chief of the president of ukraine know for sure the plans of the enemy, how they will develop, that there will be an offensive within 10 days. of our actions, it is not that we do not sit, we stand in place , uh, in addition, we work day and night

to make our fortifications, our line of defense, i would say that the lines of defense are the most strong and er were that reliable guarantee for our armed forces so that we restrained the enemy and in the future this , as it is called, the turning point of the er-e hostilities, that the enemy anticipates offensive operations there on certain dates and wants to strike a devastating blow so that all his plans and the goals were not realized and i will repeat this clearly and coherently we know clearly and coherently we are working and do you allow such a scenario at all or are you more precisely preparing for it eh that bakhmut can be captured we do not rule out any scenarios but we act exclusively vertically, all the military e-e are on the lines of protection and e-e all maximum measures are taken to prevent this

from happening . is the highest priority, but at the same time, of course, we understand that the life and health of our defenders is one of the main priorities, so i'm sorry to use the defenders as cannon fodder, no one will be at the moment bakhmut is holding on, we are doing everything it is possible to destroy the enemy as much as possible and such an offensive dust has been completed, and people who are not related to donetsk

region and the army, about the fact that the m-03 and n-32 routes, if i pronounce correctly that these roads are now directly under threat of fire as a result of the latest advances of russian forces, firstly, is this true, and secondly, what does the capture of at least one of these roads mean, and we are showing them right now on amap, well, the main thing, firstly, of course, is the logistics of suspension of ammunition, this includes evacuation routes, i will not name other routes. of course, they are known to us ukrainians, they will be the main routes. but really, on asphalt and on repaired roads, these are the best ways to get to bakhmut and control the situation in the further exit to bakhmut slov' yansk but it is just as clear and well-known to say that it is under full fire control, i did not say that, but of course in the mountains

and its artillery and rocket systems of e-e salvo fire, at least they are capable shelling the e-e highway and including destroying any civilian traffic that may occur on these roads, and it is also clear to us how the enemy is trying to act not just to enter the city, but also to use the tactics of the so-called ticks when bypassing from both sides or another city, in this case, this intention is based on bakhmut in order to remove our defenders from the city, and in the same way they understand that the relationship of our command to the defenders to the servicemen of the armed forces of any other formations that are part of

of the defense forces of ukraine, it is completely different from that in russia, and there is a completely different attitude and they understand that we will be one of, as i said, the priority is to keep the lives of our defenders safe, one ukrainian top officials say that the primary task that putin before his army is the seizure of the entire donetsk region. i mean cities like bakhmut ugledara avdiyivka, they do not disappear from the establishment of the general staff, and if putin really sets such a goal for himself, then here is your colleague , for example serhii gaidai, he is already the leader an area that is completely occupied. and if everything goes according to the worst-case scenario , such a fate may also befall you. have you thought about it? well , first of all, what putin says about his intentions

, he never says. well, it is quite such a dangerous tactic. it will be my subjective opinion. vision to underestimate the enemy. i have never done it in my life and within the limits of my authority to underestimate the enemy, but we must also be guided by the facts and understand the realities of today. the enemy tried to reach the border of the luhansk region there in may and capture all of donetsk by july at the latest the bakhmut region was tasked with capturing the deadlines after that

, they were already quite blurred, this is september 2022, i will not pay any further. fortifications to carry out a clear coordinated and coordinated action with the military command in order to protect our region and i will say that those plans that were for july, september, the larger territory of donetsk region were occupied from taking into account the de-occupation of the limansk sviatohirsk community, currently under the control of donetsk, e.e. under the control of ukraine, the ukrainian authorities, the ukrainian armed forces , in the first place, almost 52% of donetsk region, according to this reason , we will stand as long as necessary on our land, and please specify the data and how many civilians are currently living on the territory of the donetsk region, which is controlled by ukraine, taking into account the restoration of gas supply, full in a third of the region

, partial in 10 communities of the region, this is at the time of the start of the beginning of the heating of the season, at the moment, about half a million residents live in the territory of the donetsk region under the control of the ukrainian authorities, half a million is a lot, what is the question? and how , in the last week, on a trio of these messages , what is the possibility of a large-scale offensive on donbas being resumed, how is the trend of evacuation changing , or are people leaving ? but i would like to remind you that until 2014, donetsk was the most densely populated region of ukraine, more than 4.5 million people lived in the territory of donetsk region until

there are parts of the occupation after the occupation of one-third of the people in the region permanently lived one million 800 thousand million 670 lived as of february 24. i think these numbers speak for themselves , so in this case half a million we reached the figure of 350,000 in the month of july, then there was a certain return of people, currently people are also leaving after a missile attack on the center of the city of kramatorsk and periodic shelling of the central parts of cities that are relatively distant from the front line, evacuation is mandatory in accordance with the order of the cabinet of ministers from july to august 2022 all the processes are in progress, and the cities of the region that accept our residents of the region are in the same way, this work continues around the clock, in fact, because trains come at night, as i see all these reports, it continues, and this algorithm is clearly worked out, so

the number of those who want it is definitely increasing, including and in kramatorsk i see this trend for the past week and the main thing is that the people of the expert cities leave first of all , where they are in small numbers but still remain, thank you very much, the head of the donetsk regional military administration pavlo kyrylenko, we talked about what is happening in the donetsk region, where half a million people now live, thank you very much. well, and now about the personnel, volodymyr zelensky submitted to the verkhovna rada a proposal to appoint vasyl the kid as the head of the security service of ukraine, obviously the vote will take place in the coming days, vasyl the kid, i let me remind you that he has been temporarily acting as the head of the sbu since july 22nd, after zelensky removed the former head of arms, ivan bakanov, by the way, where ivan bakanov is now is unknown. and this is important because i i would like to remind you that the president removed

bakanov from his post for improper performance of duties, which led to human casualties. radio svoboda, i should also mention that we requested an interview with vasyl the kid, but so far we have not received a positive answer. we are waiting, maybe after the appointment, vasyl the kid will agree to talk to you. well, the current day could actually become more abundant for personnel rotations in the security and defense sector, but something went wrong. i mean the news about the resignation of the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov resignation it didn't happen at least so far, but the way this news spread yesterday from officials, i'll note well, you saw it first, the head of the servant of the people faction, davita rahamiya , announced another personnel change in the highest authorities, in particular, he announced the resignation of defense minister oleksiy reznikov to be replaced by reznikov, he said the army is coming kyrylo budanov, the current head of development, and oleksiy reznikov, said that arahamiya is being transferred to the position of minister of strategic industries before the word. this news

surprised even more because many months consecutively in political circles they are talking about the fact that they want to liquidate the ministry of strategic industries in general, but the story did not end there, and a couple of hours passed when oleksiy reznikov late at night announced that it was the president neither the ex-prime minister nor the prime minister offered him to head the ministry of strategic industries, and even if they had offered, he would have refused with a word . of how to suppress archamia announced these staff rotations massacres held a big press conference and of course journalists asked about the prospects of his resignation here is what he said the decision to be a mini-minister of defense or not is made by one person - this is the supreme commander-in-chief of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi according to the constitution he submits an application for appointment, and the verkhovna rada appoints him only based on the decision of the president of ukraine. i will make one or another decision, and then they will again

do what the president suggests to me of ukraine that i am in the team, i will do everything for the sake of our victory, my profession, well, at least a lawyer gives me the opportunity to think optimistically that i will definitely go in and find an interesting project that will allow us not only to win this war, but also to punish the military and political leadership of the russian federation well, actually, after this statement, it was not the president , but the commander-in-chief, david arkhamia who announced that oleksiy reznikov was resigning on this occasion , social media users were divided. some say that on with a number of problems in the ministry of defense, it is better than reznikov as a minister, and others urge not to exaggerate reznikov's success in negotiations with western partners and while all these discussions were going on. therefore, oleksiy reznikov remains in the post of minister . well, now the question arises

, firstly, what was it ? the general director of the interfax-ukraine information agency oleksandr martynenko joins our broadcast. oleksandr my greetings, this is how to understand this whole story. the servant of the people said, by the way, that they decided not to fire reznikov and because it was not the time they said about it today, they say that another attack is expected by e- well, what changed during the night actually ? well , i think that they mentioned it at night, maybe. the leadership of the faction of individual deputies, the leadership of the cabinet of ministers office, the various ministers, there is no full degree of consistency in their actions when, uh, uh, uh , it came, so-and-so came, so-and-so came, the question of changing not just one minister, the minister of defense

, they are all there, i understand that in their opinions are divided, someone thinks that he should be immediately, someone means in a while , someone thinks that bogdanov is right, someone thinks that the bogdanovites are wrong, more precisely, where are the discussions in the team, the only thing that is not very good here that's right, when we enter this discussion in the media space, we have space, look at the versions, yes, do you have any solutions , like yesterday's action, rohami's message, today 's morning message, the same thing, and then in an hour, the change of this point of view, that is, i think that they should it would be a good idea to get together in the president's office, gather everyone, find a solution, and then announce it to the people , it is desirable to familiarize everyone with the decision.

it's hard to say, because even yesterday i honestly wasn't sure that it would happen, all the more so now, the only thing is that there are two options if they speak his language. he will remain in this position and will work . with colleagues with the minister of defense of nato on weapons, which he has been leading for a long time and is quite confident, but on the other hand, here he hinted a-a from various we have press conferences that he is still such a big problem and a task for everyone to do so that russia has paid for everything it does there to ukraine, what is it like a blind eye, such an intrusion on his future involvement in legal procedures aimed at punishing russia, well, we are talking about how to understand the tribunal that ukraine is proposing to create for ukraine. well, there are others there, all of these are from the seizure

of commercial assets russia all over the world and so on, he definitely knows this, he is an expert in this, and therefore it is theoretically possible that he will get this job , what will it be called? i wanted to be the minister of justice, but you said such an interesting thing that at the beginning you said that apparently the services of the people could not reach an agreement between themselves to keep reznikov or release him. well, but i apologize. isn’t it volodymyr zelenskyi who makes such a decision if such information about the release of reznikov was voiced by davit rahamiya doesn't this mean that such a decision was agreed upon personally by the president and the president at the bank meeting, and then at the bank meeting they changed their minds? well, it's hard for me to say whether the authorities are voicing zelensky's decision or his own thoughts, you have to ask him to what extent he reconciles all his words with president zelenskyi, i don’t know the only thing that all of you presidents know of course and in general

, in the team, they are very sensitive to public sentiments, it has been known for a long time, to public sentiments, which they also measure in social networks, such as in social networks like yes, yesterday evening all day and evening and this morning there was such a serious discussion about whether it is right or not and there were really many voices about the fact that at the same time famous people ah about what to film now in front of the minister of defense bearing in mind who are the russians, referring to rammstein? everything else is not very correct. well, i can only assume that someone there read it , made a cut of these points of view , and reported it to the president. maybe someone else decided to take their time and watch it carefully, it is interesting, maybe volodymyr zelensky himself reads facebook, that he really reads social networks, they listen

and so on, so i think that as an option it is possible. if we talk about those people who called for resignation, there were definitely such among the deputies the main formal reason for the probable resignation is corruption in the ministry of defense. but is this the main motive, or is it possible to create some other reason, because there is also the opinion that it is political games, someone is trying to bring down the minister of defense, that is the question. who is it , is it someone from russia, or is it that someone inside, some kind of division of political influence, what do you think about this, well, you know, it seems to me that in any case, in the tsars, one of the universals of this process was definitely russia, of course, because any minister who will now come to the place of various people who did not work in the ministry of defense, of course he needs time, and taking into account the volume of work of this ministry in general, the number of employees and contracts there, it takes a lot of time to simply understand where he got to, and

that is, of course, it will slow down there are many processes of the ministry of defense, so i believe that russia is one of the venecials of this process, as far as it was already the organizer here, i am not sure because it seems to me that and this is internal ukrainian history that concerns there was a reason and how it is related to anti-corruption, believe me, you know, i have been a journalist for 30 years, and i know what an information attack is, i have seen a lot of them in my life, so for you, this attack was classic, that is, when one story is thrown, it is things are true and then it doesn't work completely

, another story is thrown, which has nothing to do with the first one. shaft whose purpose is to er mean to bring to power to question the adoption of a personnel decision, this is a classic pr classic, but it was fully used in this case, you said that one of the potential beneficiaries of reznikov's resignation could be russia, and within the country there are people interested in his resignation reznikova, well, you know, i don’t think it’s the same contract, so i’m saying once again that the draining of the egg contract, which we call yes . and i don’t think it’s fake - it’s fake. are unfair and it is necessary to conduct an investigation and so on and so on, but considering that this contract drain was only the first stage of this attack, it was also used in order to force, from my point of view, to force the resignation of various cooperatives, so this contract

was pissed off by a journalist by the way, not only yuriy nikola, do you know a lot, doesn't he remember iceland, the first channel showed it, it seems to me that he was pissed off , that is, he was a villain. so this one the contract was merged. well, the last time i did it was for the russian federation. it was done naturally by people in ukraine. ukrainian officials . i think it was from the ministry of defense. who are interested in different things. it could be someone from president zelenskyi's entourage. you can remember who it could be. it could be someone who is offended, or a former contact, for example. well, i don't mean a specific person, i don't know.

imprisonment, we will see later, i think we will find out, but for now , who exactly is the specific name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name . that he received this fake passport earlier but did not publish it or had doubts about the passport of an official of the ministry of defense, he practically announced the fake passport then it is valid because he said , wait two days, there will be a representative of the specialized committee of the supreme on behalf of maryana bezugla, she also informed the society about the resignation at the level of a zarachamia, and she said that the resignation was not canceled. she expressed her own point of view because she didn't write that we are under attack by russia, the russian offensive is ahead, so at this

time you and i decided that this is not necessary. i'm sorry. who knows when i finish , russia's attack and russia's oil will be finished, no one i think bezula is also that's why i think it's just his and his own point of view because well she already announced her resignation the day before . uh, we stopped these conversations for a week , and the only thing is that the same varshikov understood. partners of ukraine, ministers of law the defense of different countries, with whom he will meet in the near future, and i hope that on february 14th there will be another rammstein . and it is clear that they are these partners, he must be sure that they talk and achieve

such things with a person who will fulfill them if because because if there are such doubts, then i am him. to be honest , i am jealous of these conversations. what do you think ? where did this idea of ​​appointing budanov to a different position come from? that this is also some kind of idea that arose in the head of arahamia or is this also maybe it was agreed on at the bank and then they changed their minds, no, this is not rahan's idea, and i think something seems to have appeared above, but the principle well, the insurance is that bohdan enjoys the trust of the president, this is known he trusts him. he has repeatedly shared him as an effective manager . and he. well, i will say directly, he likes him because he is really active, effective and gives results, as far as we understand a-a in the work of the gur, and therefore here i think that in principle it is clear. why is this e
