lives, and i will start the night. my loved ones, they picked up without calling and spoke here like combinations that i don't know. he never spoke before wake up don't worry the war began on february 24, a turning point in our history in our world of perception after the dramatic theater fell on our heads and we realized that they are not fighting with the ukrainian army, they came not to capture the city, they came to destroy and kill him every february 24 how we met the first day of the invasion documentary project ukrainer how did you start february 24 to the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of russia in ukraine friday february 24 at 17:30 on espresso i congratulate olga lein - this is a chronicle of hostilities for a week, we have now that the defense forces of ukraine

are repelling enemy assaults on at least five directions. near the front line or the borders of russia, eh well, in fact, the enemy is trying to use the few pre-spring weeks to significantly improve their tactical position , and what happened the last few days at the front , let's see on the map of combat operations map of hostilities for the period of february 14-22 over bakhmut, the threat of the russians launched an offensive in the north of luhansk region and also tries to create a new threat to the city of the fortress on the bakhmut front, luhansk region , the long-expected offensive of new fighters from russia has been going on for several weeks, but it did not start with large-scale attack and reconnaissance

battles to establish vulnerable areas of the front. one such attack was discovered in the north of the region near the two-year-old rashista. success and they attacked masyutivka and sinkivka, the goal of the offensive is, of course, to knock out the zsu from kupyansk, which may soon become a very hot area of ​​the front. at the moment, the russians are conducting artillery training and are hitting the city almost every day. despite this , there will be no acute threat to kupyansk until the occupiers will not be able to move to the right bank of the split and threaten the city and how many fronts in the south-west of the region an offensive operation is underway, the goal of some kind is to capture the villages on the way to the estuary, the assault troops want to break through to makiivka nevsky and zarichnya but during

the week , they did not manage to advance and by a few tens of meters, even more, which the soldiers counterattacked again in the forest south of the flint and pushed the enemy back approximately 1.5 km to the east. for more than two months, but the defense forces have not conceded their positions here and are reliably defending the approaches to seversk bakhmut putin's fans are trying at all costs to fulfill the tasks of their führer and to capture bakhmut by february 24, and if they don't have time, they will still lie in order not to disappoint putin, and yet the situation in bakhmut during the last week has greatly deteriorated from the east, the enemy has occupied several blocks of low-rise buildings and other streets in order to push our defenders beyond the bakhmutivka river from the north the enemy completely captured paraskoviivka and came on the offensive to the south of the bakhmut slovyansk highway , the villages of yagidne verchivka and oak vasilka in yagidne and berkhivka were under attack . street battles continue, the occupiers want to break through our

line of defense in order to break through to the area of ​​chromovo through which the main logistics are currently being carried out. in this case, the armed forces of ukraine will be forced to leave bakhmut with battles to break through in the direction of sloviansk and the temporary ravine, therefore this section of the front in the coming days will be under the special attention of both the armed forces and the occupiers. the main combat operations to the south of bakhmut will be concentrated here, the defense forces continue to restrain the enemy and prevent him from reaching the ivanivskoe and bakhmut kostyantynivka highways , so the occupiers decided to bypass our defenses and strike in the western direction on the villages of bela gora and delika. art shelling is currently taking place in this territory for the purpose of preparation, which indicates that soon the mzovites will carry out assaults here. the southern front in zaporozhye, donetsk region is relatively stable. by the teeth however, this does not mean that they gave up their plans , because it is still extremely important for the occupiers to push the armed forces away from the

volnovakha railway connection, melitopol, the enemy concentrates a large resource to renew the offensive in the ughledar direction and also transfers significant forces to the area between vasylrivka and podolami in order to break through the defense line and go on the offensive to zaporizhzhia. during the week, the armed forces of ukraine thinned out this concentration of enemies, destroyed the command post in the volnova district and targeted the occupation prosecutor's office in donetsk military warehouses and bases exploded in yenakievo near mariupol, berdyansk and tokmak, as well as in podolakh and the basiliv district glory to ukraine death to the enemies well, literally fresh a message that, er, kyrylo budanov, the head of the gur, er, ministry of defense, stated that decisive battles await ukraine from the inside by the end of spring, and this will be a turning point in the war, er, and we see, in principle , that the situation is really very tense, eh,

huge shelling has been going on for the last few days, i.e. they shelled both chernihiv and sumy regions of the front-line territory and kherson region, kherson was very heavily shelled there , five people were killed, and also in kharkiv region, e.e., kupyansk kharkiv itself well, that is, in principle, it is very active on the front of the situation. let's talk about it now in more detail with oleksiy hetman , military analyst, veteran of the russian-ukrainian war , oleksandr kovalenko, military-political observer of the information resistance. greetings , gentlemen . glory to ukraine from loboda. decide how do you assess the situation in general , let's start with the general assessment and then move on to some specific individual districts

, the general assessment is the same pavlo bogdanov said about the fact that the number of military personnel of the russian federation is concentrated on ours on the front line, these are, by and large, three groups of large groups, first of all, it is in the luhansk direction, from kupyansk , there are about 120,000 russian military personnel and up to two units of heavy equipment i mean armored personnel carriers and others and up to 700 units of various artillery , the same grouping is located near the coal mine in the north and south of this front line, well, the same thousands of people, the same thousands and units of equipment and somewhere up to 25-30 thousand, now near bakhmut, where the most fierce battles are being fought. they are trying to attack, but most likely it will be an attack . so far, the most fierce battles are being fought near bakhmut, because they promised their fuhrer

putin to capture it. place well, to the anniversary of the full-scale invasion or to the day of the soviet army and navy on february 23, indeed, they are trying to seize road m-03 from the south, which leads to konstantinovka, in order to prevent the impossibility of supplying everything necessary so that to enumerate the fighters there are ongoing street battles in the eastern part of the eastern part of the building. well, there are small, multi-story, multi-story buildings. we know that a few days ago a decision was made regarding bakhmut. people can come only with special passes, so you can even refer to the president of ukraine. ms. zelensky, who said that we will not hold on to any name of any populated place if it will be uh if it will lead to very moderate losses of our

servicemen and our equipment and everything what is necessary, of course, we will move to other places of defense, because i want to say right away between bakhmut and kostiantynivka, a tenth of the port has already been built, the constructions there are piropi, observation points, that is, we can keep the defense further because even well, with such an influx, even if we have to retreat, this is a normal tactic defense is active defense , there's nothing wrong with it, it's difficult, as we always say, but during a war, we don't only attack, we sometimes defend and retreat, this is that, well, that's normal corresponds to the war, so you don’t need to sprinkle it with ash, as they say, even if it has to come out of the tank, well, it’s interesting that there are all these cries that it will be sprinkled, as if it were the ukrainian front, and it will be possible to quickly capture the entire territory of the donetsk region . well, that’s the last thing. the last but an adjective i would say a comment on this subject prigozhin that no, this is two years

old, yes, like prigozhin already well, now i want to intercept a form for criticism of the russian military e-e leaders by a passer-by because he was pushed away from some active there active of participation in the media space in general, i understand that they are being pushed aside a little and he is trying to occupy a more valuable one, he will also start telling us that we do not need to wear rose -colored glasses, that it will be impossible for us to take some big places in ukraine, well, he simply repeats the rhetoric of the american war that those forces said and the means that russia currently has on the front line are capable of seizing one or two small settlements in ukraine, and nothing more, nothing more, they will not be enough, we will believe it, well, this is a study of war whose glory repeats the adventures of oleksandr so look matchmaking crime is going there, because it’s across the estuary, well, what can you call at least strikes there, er, bakhmut, the russians are trying to seize

ugledar, and er, it’s ripening that there may be another strike of nuts, the general said that there are some others, er, most likely there will be no russian offensive or attempted offensive just an attempt to improve the position of the position in front of, perhaps, some companies were actually the first, and what was the name of the russian propagandists of the great offensive? and i think it was vugledar, it was actually the first act, and they were preparing quite serious forces and means to direct vugledar, er, these are units

of the fortieth separate brigade of marines in petropavlovsk, czech. it was also the 155th brigade of marines and other units were transferred to them. in fact, they experienced a fiasco there , but this does not mean that it will be good and in the future it will be under pressure happen for them, it is critically important to capture it but if we are talking about, for example, nuts e, then the same situation can be catalyzed by february 24 near orikhi , similarly as near the coal mine, because near the coal mine there was a concentration of approximately up to 9 battalions of the tactical group, some e-e is trying to concentrate on a narrow front somewhere up to about 3 km, that is, about three btger per kilometer, well, this is a large concentration , even more than is needed for offensive actions, for offensive actions, on average, this

btgn is used along the front of 2.4 km, but they still could not achieve their goal. what we can see now near the nuts, near the nuts, we see a concentration of units of 136 msbr, 42 msb, and 19 msd. approximately the same 9 battalions of tactical groups with a total number of which it will be necessary to cover a front of almost 20 km, and if we are talking about, for example, the direction from vasilivka to voskerkenka, this is the front. oh, they will need to concentrate them along a narrow 10 km from the front, but now we can observe that they are distributing their battalion-tactical groups to specific locations from which offensive actions will be carried out. it is expected that this will work. but it

can be this and it cannot be. there will be more. and pyatikhatki, that is, offensive actions will take place. but do they repeat , they look more than sure that it will be the same situation as near the coal mine, and the russian occupying forces today can carry out offensive actions exclusively along a narrow front and exclusively along some in some locations, they cannot cover the entire front, they cannot advance along the entire 100 km, for example, zaporizhzhia region along the length of the front. therefore, they will concentrate the blow on the nuts , but again, in many cases, this will be a repetition of the same scenario that happened near the coal mine and right now even i will bring hundreds of kilometers of criminal men - this is the direction that also demonstrates that they feel the same consequences that the marines felt from the coal mine. his question. well, look, again, bogdanov said that we have a new

tactic of the russians, which they use in assault groups, and will we continue to observe it like this? what do you think, because well, after all, they are preparing , gathering, and even in the same in the direction you are - the lord of nuts , this will be an attempt of this fiery rampart. are there any others that they can , that we can wait for ? called the top they worked for a beautiful company, she discovered yes, near bahmut, it did not give them certain advantages, although this is a really modern tactic, we fight exactly like this, well, this is a nato tactic , they marked the appearance, what it looks like, that it is a small group, but there are still certain nuances that they do not they took into account, well, no, they didn’t take into account the ass, take into account because they have a very rigid vertical command, uh , there they can’t a person who manages a small

unit of the department, for example, if it is an assault group, he can’t do it on his own to make a decision, a tactical decision, he must carry out what he said, get to such and such coordinates, he must go exactly there, and if even there he meets strong resistance, well, the usual nato standards must be made maneuver, he cannot make a maneuver, he will climb directly as they pointed out to him is this the latest equipment , it's not even a tactic, it's a known tactic , what will they be able to do , will they still be able to make significant progress? we are also suffering losses, they are gradually advancing, but they are advancing not due to superiority in any tactical actions, but exclusively due to the superiority of manpower, where now there are 2.5 times more military personnel at all levels of the front after the federation than at the beginning of a full-scale invasion but they again have two times less heavy equipment than there was at the beginning

of tuesday. therefore, by and large, these are mainly infantry units, if they were not called there , which e-e achieve advantages due to the fact that they use a large number of manpower without taking into account the losses. well, this is if you can call it the latest tactic . well, so be it, but it is inherent in the russian federation . do not spare effort. meters and then report that they carried out the order, but how many people are there ? less than a battalion is this number or about a battalion a day they lose tank crimes tank gates we understand that in 3-4 days they lose a brigade, that is, even for the russian federation it is a significant loss and it well, in the end, it will feel that we are bleeding them, why are we defending ourselves

so actively we are masculinizing the enemy and weakening his capabilities, all the forces he has there, he will really participate in these offensive actions , but the most important thing is that it is very necessary to pay attention in russia, it has no more reserves there is no more army now on our borders the whole russian army that can conduct combat operations the whole russian army is more army they don't have any thank you thank you this is oleksiy hetman military politician veteran of the russian-ukrainian war we say goodbye to you you have your own plans thank you and then we continue with oleksandr oleksandr kovalenko, well, look, we are really causing great losses of personnel to the personnel of the russian federation, but also. somewhere there is an understanding that for russia, they will continue in the same spirit. that is, it is you, not them. abandon their plans only because the losses are very large because they still have large resources . they have, after all, there is now such an active propaganda

about the fact that there are still conscripts there, these military conscripts are not included in the war actively , they are not yet fighting, let's still involve them let them fight, that is, they will continue to follow the same course of action that was shown to them, well, in fact, what kind of beauty under the bahmut, what are we going to do? well, it works, and the question is why works because what, uh, it doesn’t need any kind of supply in order to resist these tactics, for this, you don’t need uh, by and large, there is an f-16, how complicated are there, uh, you don’t need any complex weapons, it’s ordinary small arms, it’s mortars , it’s ordinary artillery and why did we find ourselves in such a state that this tactic is working , what do we need to do to stop it now? well, this is a way of war, because war is when people are against

people, well, you know. well, it is not very good for us either, because there are losses from from our side , that is, how can we change the way for russia it became an unsuccessful tactic and who says that she gave us at all well, nevertheless, in one in one particular bach muti they are well, okay, but now they are not in pechersk, they are in kyiv no or somewhere there others others are on other retreats to the capital ah, what they are advancing. well, okay, they are advancing by hundreds of meters at the time when the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine begins, the advance of the armed forces of ukraine is thousands of square kilometers, and they are advancing by hundreds of meters, sometimes they are not even advancing at all now they are stuck in the middle of the field from klichtivka to ivanivske, and it’s just from klichtivka to ivanivske, well, this is the route

0.5.04, it passes through this national plan, and it’s actually 3-4 km. well, this process is there is already such a person on pause, they are advancing. well, two meters later, soledar swings for it. it is possible to say that there was a successful tactic of the beauty, only if from the position that they captured the solider, but the way they captured him, uh, this is not some kind of successful tactic, in fact, it was completely unfiltered pvk e-e wagner as e-e advanced assault force it does not exist now actually on this bridgehead and before it was the monopoly pvk wagner bakhmut bridgehead now it is already the monopoly of the landing forces wagner continue to use the remnants are a living bone, but they are no longer the main thing on this bridgehead

just like prigozhin, he was the star of russian television and russian telegram channels for six months. and now his star has already split somewhere. he has lost trust, he does not have a monopoly on locations, a monopoly for conducting hostilities, he does not have a monopoly on hiring hares from the correctional colonies, he lost his trust, this is the result, solidar soledar not only through himself let through this meat grinder a large amount of resources that could have already been used somewhere in a different direction. and will continue to fulfill its role because soledar is little by little, for some reason many people do not talk about it, but soledar is a local chornobayivka in order to carry out offensive actions from soledar to the south or

north, and it is necessary to concentrate there a suitable resource, ammunition, for example, but soledar is located in an area that is completely covered by our artillery. so, if you want to attack red mountain , prepare ammunition for an offensive operation, and here comes a surprise. not under the administrative boundaries of seversk and in the north of bakhmut, in fact, they do not fight city-to-city battles, and this is the situation with this promotion, and it will continue to be in them to stay as long as there is a human resource, but against the human resource, appropriate methods are used a-a, this is a large amount of artillery - these are mortars - of course , large-caliber machine guns are the best, and these live

waves are stopped in this way. the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine makes appropriate conclusions and concentrates the appropriate means in order to stop these living waves, because now we see that their progress has stopped , the forces and means have allegedly increased, it is alleged that desantura has taken the main role of a i.e. desantura is not er... they have at least armor, i mean medium or lightly armored vehicles, but still they have not been able to cut the m-03 route and the 0.5.04 route completely for several weeks, i mean no have fire control, they have fire control over almost all of them, we already have fire control there, namely, physical presence, there is no physical presence, and soledar, how long have these wagnerites already taken the result of this capture? well, that's it, that's the kind of promotion

. well, that's what they expected putin to say at his appeal on february 21, it turned out that there was nothing to say and even the closest expectation was until the end of the week or a couple of days, but so far these are all wishes that do not come true every time. so here i agree with you . uh, how do you evaluate these conversations that there uh, pvk wagner appeared somewhere in the coalfield area or they were transferred somewhere there and it means something with itself, what is it in general , what kind of conversations are these, what do you think about them, i don't i can neither deny nor confirm what is near pc wagner appeared at the coal mine, i don't know such information, but i know that under the coal mine there were pvk patriot , this is a private military company that is directly managed by the ministry of defense of the russian federation, and here is a very interesting

story, they themselves started this assault on the coal mine with the aim the fact that the main work was done by sorokov up to 100-150 men of the fifth br . er, you were a springboard for the popularization of this er private military campaign , which serhiy shektu himself is directly in charge of, but since there they experienced a fiasco about the patriot military unit, they don’t really remember that they were present there and for them, and such a debut was being prepared because the military unit the patriot of his time, serhiy shoigu, even tried to officially register it so that it would be a full-fledged competitor on vk wagner, but he then, uh, about the registration, well, first

of all, russian legislation does not bind it in any way, as it is private - officially a private military company is registered in the country, which according to the law is prohibited, er, mercenaries are prohibited. and secondly, they told him , well, what a fool. and a private military responsible for the functions of hybrid tasks, that is, so that we can say that we are not there. and when it is officially registered with us, which we are not there, so with the petriv air defense, then it all went a bit to waste at the ministry, now they were trying to somehow bring it to the forefront. well , if we started talking about these air defense as a separate type, such a russian thing, i don’t know of a military presence there or how to call it , there is also a new report that they managed to capture one of
