[000:00:00;00] munitions of rotations, uh, there is a point in defending it if there are numbers. so what is the point of shepherding the defenders of our elders there in order to execute them there, i don't know anymore, this city can play along, but you have to understand that the more radio falls into bakhmut, the less the old woman will fall into konstantinovka, the kramatorschik slov' yansk, the road is not so easy as there is some village or some landing to take. it's all like a city if you take one street fight for a house there it's quite difficult it's quite big tires are needed for artificial only the equipment is like that there isn't

much you will get there as long as there is a great danger the personnel of the ukrainian trc is also the enemy, or rather, there is an eternal period, therefore, if you do not kill the approach to the city, it will be extremely difficult , even on the house there, it will not be necessary to put it in the foundation, pay for it, it will simply take away the ruin, but at a very high price , put several tens of thousands of your m' yasa, what is it, mr. viktor, thank you for this conversation, and finally, i just want to ask how this year has been for you personally. well, what are your accounts with this year, this year is difficult and unpredictable , life is divided until february 24 and after 4

in february, i and many of my fellow friends changed professions, plans this year i lost a lot of friends, but we have no other choice . we are sure that we will have children, because if we do not protect ourselves from the state cabbage and the fact that our ancestors fought for us, it will be simple to our troubled generation, because it is our task to make sure that our children do not know what war is and that there is more russian peace. thank you so that there is no russian peace in ukraine and, in principle, that such a phenomenon disappears. this was viktor burlyk, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine ah, but remembering yesterday or watching what happened in ukraine yesterday, despite the fact that we have a full-scale invasion, eh, i was saddened that in ukraine, people continue to greet each other since february 23, and

not even those who served in the soviet army, they congratulate and congratulate the current defenders of ukraine, knowing that we have our own beautiful holiday, and what’s more, it’s not called just like in russia, it’s called defender’s and defender’s day, because men and women are also fighting at the front in our country and are recaptured what's more, now the country is protected not only by ukrainians, a lot of people from other countries came to us voluntarily . lost part of her hand, but she is incredibly happy because they managed to repel the enemy and win the battle, and thanks to such

people, we are also holding on, and thanks to fierce people who believe in good, we are holding on, as ukraine fights for good to win rodion kudryashov, deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine and a major joins us on the air , mr. radio, good morning, i congratulate you. glory to ukraine , do you remember your 24th, february 24th of last year? i believed the news that just flooded my phone , tv, russian federation, i did not believe that russia could take such a barbaric step to launch a military invasion inside europe in the 21st century, and since

february 24, he has already joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine the last one continues her service. how has this year changed you, apart from the fact that you joined the armed forces of ukraine ? i will say as follows that this is the year we directly experienced. this year is like the happy moments of unity when we all understand that we are for each other and do everything for our country and moments when we lose the best of our country, the year before was

full, i will say that the next year will be more it will be more intense, it will be very difficult for us, it will be difficult for us, but i am sure that we will never be ashamed in our lifetime, in the lifetime of our ukrainians, that's why victory will surely loom ahead, the russians will already be able to drag this war out for years, should we be afraid of such a development of events how to look at such prospects in general, it is very difficult to say whether it is possible to prolong the invasion scenario or it will somehow end quickly. at the end of the day, i want to say that we need endurance and we need strength. otherwise, if we fold our hands , nothing good will come of this quickly. i think it won't happen

, but there will be no shame for it, as i said, what will ukraine be like after the victory, what will you make of it? you see the colors, er, i don't see any difficult ones that, after what we have experienced after the victory, can pull our country and our people in general, therefore er, the most important thing today, er, in this confrontation is for us to win, to preserve our independence, and i think we are ukrainians people we are good at working with our heads for years and in our country there will be only the best changes until february 24 for many ukrainians russia , despite the fact that it went to war against ukraine in 2014, it was still such a brotherly

country and russians are a brotherly people despite everything, but on february 24, many people have the impression that the madness has fallen out of their eyes, many people say that they could not imagine that the russians would do this to the ukrainians . do you think that one day ukraine will be able to live peacefully next to russia and is it possible that someday will they start calling russians brothers again, and is brotherhood with russians even possible ? if so, under what circumstances? today, er, i think that putin made the biggest mistake he could have made, er, invading ukraine and thereby uniting all ukrainians and so

to understand that russia is definitely not a fraternal nation and russia definitely does not want the good of ukrainians . therefore, everything that has changed, everything that has happened this year, in recent events, they testify to that. a friendly people to ukraine and this whole war will be translated into generations because what russia has done, what russia has done with the ukrainian people for now and today - these are mistakes that i do not see the possibility of how russia can correct them, so thank you mr. radion where was the deputy commander going of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine

, the major was with us. president zelensky also says that if they had supported us more actively since the 14th year, if there had been a different reaction to the invasion of crimea , and poroshenko said about it, of course, it would have been possible and there would not have been this war . well, you know here it's all, it's all like bitology, it's a fact that for the russians, ukraine really represents such a permanent threat , no matter how it looks like there, it doesn't look like that for us. itself the right to be free and as part of the european family of free peoples and successful all-in-all, we just have land and i want to build a good life for myself on that land. hello friends, now we will show you how the battles took place during this year, how

the front line moved, but before we show it, we have one appeal to you, this war is not only on the battlefield, but information and the enemy of crimea and a huge machine that works in russia, which fights with information by spreading the truth. it works and tries in every possible way to close the mouth of the espresso tv channel by sending strikes to the youtube broadcast, so i am asking you very much for your likes are not just to show that you love us, this is also your huge support for the espresso tv channel in the fight for the truth to be heard, so please comment on the youtube broadcast, like it, it helps the espresso tv channel itself, if only it were on youtube, our broadcast would be in the bookmarks in the first lines, because the russians are doing everything to take us out of there, and now the map of the hostilities, let's see how

this year changed on the battlefield, on february 24 , 2022, the invasion of ukraine began of the 180,000-strong army of the russian nazis with the aim of overthrowing the government and the full occupation of the country, a few minutes after the declaration of war, russia launched cruise and ballistic missiles at the airfields, military headquarters and warehouses in kyiv, kharkiv, ivano-frankivsk lutsk, the dnipro, vasylkov, odessa and donbas, the main directions of the strikes were aimed primarily at kyiv from the side of belarus, the occupiers entered the territory of the chornobyl npp and then made their way along the dnieper to the south to the capital of ukraine and also landed in gostomel on february 25 the defense of kyiv began, and on the 27th, the battle for the airport in vasylkiv, another group of troops attacked from belarus to the west of chernihiv, encircling chernihiv, the invaders also moved on kyiv and along the left bank of the dnieper , at the same time, convoys of russian vehicles

entered from gomel to chernihiv and from russia to gluhiv sumy okhtyrka kharkiv kupyansk raisins and balaclava the occupiers surrounded sumy lebedyn and okhtyrka, which they could not capture from the jump because they were in a hurry to kyiv luhansk oblast , the russians stormed from the east from the north, one group hit our defenders in the back who held the defense on the demarcation line along the river siverskyi in donetsk, several days of fighting took place in the towns of luhansk and shchytsia, and another group went to capture the key regional centers of belovodsk, starobilsk, and later to novoaidar and svatovoy, only in the area near north donetsk, lysychansk, and popasnaya , the armed forces managed to build and hold defenses in donetsk region fighting intensified along the entire front line to hide our troops and at the same time the enemy struck in the direction of volnovakh and mariupol. the southern army of the rashists entered from crimea and in three columns marched on kherson, melitopol and berdyansk, and then mariupol, in 5 days the invaders occupied the entire area from kherson to melitopol from west to east and

to vasilivka in the north, and those invaders who moved to the east occupied berdyansk and completely surrounded mariupol in novaya kakhovka by the russians captured the kakhovka hydroelectric power station and moved to the right bank of the dnieper. as of the first 10 days of the war , it became clear how they would hold out and defend themselves. and how are they going on march 2, after multi-core battles, they occupied kherson and the road to mykolaiv, kyiv, kharkiv, chernihiv was opened to them, and the russians took a semi-circle, they occupied the entire right bank part of kyiv oblast from the north to the zhytomyr highway , the north of chernihiv oblast and the northeastern regions of sumy oblast, the entire north of kharkiv oblast and a large part of its eastern regions, the enemy captured 90% of luhansk oblast, except territories near severodonetsk and lysychansk in the south , almost the entire territory of kherson region and 50% of zaporizhzhia region, as well as almost the entire south of donetsk region, were under the occupiers. kyiv is the main goal russian troops advancing from the north on kyiv oblast, chernihiv oblast and sumy oblast were to capture the capital of ukraine, and therefore

the russians directed smaller resources to other cities . the invaders led an offensive along both banks of the dnieper with the aim of buying kyiv in three days. highways that led to the capital, in particular chernihiv-brewery glukhiv konotop nizhin and sumi-romny pryluky temna settlements that were outside the highways mostly managed to avoid military actions russian the landing force that landed in gostomel was shot ukrainian special forces of the defense forces blew up a number of dumps and bridges the flooded villages of dymer and demydiv stopped the enemy's advance on vyshhorod the defense forces directed the invaders to the narrow road to kyiv through the bridge in irpen it was here that the armed forces of ukraine conducted an ambush in which more than 111 vehicles were destroyed also russian tank convoys of the armed forces of ukraine were destroyed in buch and on the approaches of the dobrovars in kyiv itself, battles were fought only with subversive intelligence groups, and

the main battles were fought in the suburban zone and nearby the cities of the satellite were occupied from the first days by the borot woman gostomel bucha irpin-makarov, convoys of tanks driving along the road shot at the road houses which of them would carry fire on them the biggest battles took place along the line of demid moschun irpin parking lot on march 5, the armed forces of ukraine stopped the advance south of makarov, the rashists withdrew from gostomel and buchi in order to in the following days direct their attack to moschen where , after bloody battles, the occupiers suffered a crushing defeat, the russians repeatedly tried to break through to the south of the route kyiv-chop in order to continue the encirclement of the capital and from the south, however, they were defeated in the battles in the area of ​​belogorodka and jasnogorodka from march 12 to 24, the residential areas of kyiv were under constant artillery and aerial bombardment. to surround kyiv, but the offensive failed. on the same day, the defense forces defeated the russian troops in the village of lukyanivka, east of kyiv, and went to the rear of the enemy group

that was trying to break through to brovary 31 in march, the defense forces completely freed irpin and the russians began to withdraw from both the right and left banks of the dnieper. on the first of the second of april , the population centers were cleared of the remnants of russian troops . kyiv region was under occupation for 38 days. now world military experts call this battle the most defining battle of the modern era chernihiv region and sumy region one of the most important factors in holding kyiv was the fact that the russians failed to to bring to kyiv a sufficient number of troops who were stuck in the battles in sumy oblast and chernihiv oblast. although from the first days of the war the rashists occupied the entire north of chernihiv oblast, controlled the main roads to kyiv and surrounded chernihiv nizhyn pryluky and other cities , however, in all 40 days of occupation, they never managed to capture none of these cities, on february 25, the russians captured konotop and moved further along the road to kyiv, at that time the north of the region was completely occupied, but in the south

the sums and okhtyrka did not surrender, which did not let the enemy pass and conducted defensive actions until complete deoccupation 1 in march, trostyanets was occupied, it seemed that the area would be easily bypassed and made a transit point for the supply of reinforcements for the occupation of kyiv, but the military, together with the civilian population , put up an incredible resistance to the ukrainians, distributed a large number of small arms on the roads along which the russian troops and their supplies were deployed, the total burning of the columns began and with fuel tankers and the squeezing of tanks with tractors already on march 7, it turned out that the contingent in konotop had lost 50% of its composition and needed to rotate chernihiv every day was under heavy fire, but the defenders of the city did not allow the russians to gain a foothold. even on its outskirts , on march 22, the invaders tried to enter the city from the north and gain a foothold at the ski base. led from chernihiv and the city was in the blockade. since then, the russians

began to raze the city to the ground with heavy artillery fire. on march 23 , a counteroffensive began, during which the defense forces defeated the russian kantemyriv tank division and liberated trostyanets from the occupiers on the first of april , the armed forces of ukraine liberated villages in the south of the region near pryluk, and already on the fourth of april the occupier completely escaped from the sumy and chernihiv regions . er map of hostilities ukraine has held its ground all this year, courageous ukraine has held its ground for the ninth year of its courageous stand against the russian empire, ah, a lot of people have revised some of their views this year, someone has started talking

ukrainian although before that i spoke russian and said that there is no difference which language to speak is the most important thing to love your country ah belozerska olena was once a famous blogger , then you are a very famous sniper who remains a sniper in the armed forces of ukraine and at 14 after the 14th year she went to of the armed forces of ukraine, yesterday was the birthday of the third president of ukraine, 69 years old, gave in and said well that if it were not for 2005-2010 , these five years, maybe we would have a generation growing up. what a difference in this time, that's why all these 5 years were very important and how to whom to protect this country, including this is a very good moment and we must also remember this. maryana savka, a publisher and a writer, also once wrote that she was riding in a taxi with a guy who spoke to her in ukrainian, this was before

of a full-scale invasion, spoke in ukrainian, told something about history, and did not just include some chanson . by the way, we definitely got rid of the russian chanson this year, i don't think it sounds anywhere . well, if it does, then i don't know how it works in your head. actually, she too she shared her impressions that she asked him. and where did you come from, you are so self-aware, and you know about history , you speak ukrainian and you can support a conversation . a lot of such pro-ukrainian things during his presidency, and this then pushed me to the fact that there is a need to learn our history better and understand ukraine better, then they started talking about the holodomor. by the way, if you think like that and roll back your

memories back, until quite recently, literally ukrainians did not recognize the holodomor at the state level and there were fights for it in the verkhovna rada and it was said that there was no famine, and these memories were very difficult to make their way into the information space. and now we are all talking about it we openly and frankly share those memories of our grandmothers, great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers who are no longer there, but they managed to tell something despite the fear, so one way or another, without something, there would not be what ukrainians have now, we are moving next we have a weatherman vasyl samoilov, crimean activists, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, vasyl, we welcome you to our air, today we ask how february 24 was for each of our guests and before february 24. how did you live and what changed after february 24?

life good morning studio i congratulate you well my february 24th is such a very interesting topic because as of february 24th of last year i was still in the crimea i had a planned final move to kyiv on march 1st well how understandable i should do this i didn't have time at first, i remember very well how on february 22 putin announced that russia would recognize the lpr from the dpr, and at that time i lived in the crimea in the city of saki, and next to it there is a russian air base in the town of novofedorivka, and then on february 22, a very large transfer of military and aviation equipment to the new fedorivka, and i was just standing on the balcony in the evening of february 22, you were watching , which was simply coming from the direction of the nalafaiderivka , which was a continuous hum, and there it finally became clear to me that the big war

was about to begin on february 23, russian the occupiers unilaterally closed the administrative border between the wing and the kherson region, and on february 24, i woke up at about 6 in the morning due to the fact that messages were constantly coming to my phone, and when i picked up the phone , i realized that the war had begun . i didn't understand what i should do, the first thing that came to my mind was that now a purge will begin in crimea, that fsb agents know everything about me and i need to think about my own safety, then closer to the evening i just got a call on my phone from a stranger i didn't pick up the phone, and then a few minutes later, my very good friend, who is also a serbian but has been in kyiv for many years, calls me through instagram, and picking up the phone, i learn from her that she is also now in saki, that she has temporarily gone to visit her relatives and now she also doesn't know what to do, we met

her then and we can say that all these days that we were with her in the occupation after the start of the full-scale invasion, we tried to stay together, just like with other people who found themselves in fact hostages, and how did you finally get out of the territory controlled by ukraine, well, the routes are different, i chose even the most interesting and most dangerous one for myself, i drove through the front line in the direction of zaporizhzhia, i passed through the fsb checkpoint in dzhankoi and 37 checkpoint occupiers along the front line and when already the last checkpoint of the occupiers was behind us, a kilometer from the road, the battle began and the russians began to ask our bus in the village to change the nation, and what about you, what did you say at those

checkpoints where are you going how much is this there was a legend, it was thought out simply down to the smallest details, and the essence of the legend was that well, first of all, i still had to create such a suitable image of a person who is neither pro-ukrainian nor pro-russian and generally indifferent to everything that happens and the meaning of the trip is, as it were i have a native aunt in zaporizhzhia, who has all her relatives from abroad, she has very serious health problems, otherwise i am going from crimea to zaporizhzhia to pick her up from there and take her to crimea for treatment, please, what am i doing to you i ask, how old have you been? you lived in the crimea since the previous ones, 8 years , yes, there were a little less periods when you were in odesa, mykolaiv

, such, namely, the last few years, there was a huge propaganda machine that brainwashes you. you were 26 years old when the occupation of crimea began. you were 16 16 17 years old 17 years old how did it happen that they didn't brainwash you? well, i believe that if a person is adequate, if he knows his history, he understands what is happening around him, and it is impossible to brainwash him, but you rightly said that the russian propaganda machine is very powerful and unfortunately, i know examples when adequate people fell under the influence of this russian propaganda. but in this regard, everything just fell into place on february 24 of last year, because it is such a starting

point. in principle, their position was adequate, and their position was apparently neutral, but more in the direction of russia, but since february 24, it has changed to pro-ukrainian in crimea, because it is no longer possible to somehow deceive oneself there , to pretend that nothing is happening to you in your opinion, how many adequate people have remained in crimea, or let's say people who are not, at least, do not feel very strongly that they are russians. and what should be done in the end with those people who came during those years, the occupation of the annexation of crimea from russia , there are a lot of adequate people in crimea, that is, people from adequate about the ukrainian position, but the problem is that all these years russia has done everything depending on it so that such people become as few as possible , therefore a lot of people, more than 100,000 , moved from crimea to the mainland

of ukraine, and in turn, there are a lot of russians brought their citizens to crimea, according to various estimates, there may be up to one million of them, well, first of all, these are russian cops, special service officers, military judges, prosecutors and members of their families , but just as many ordinary russians moved to crimea, vasylov and you say that you had a legend for that in order to get out of crimea when the full-scale invasion had already begun about the aunt in zaporizhzhia, do you have any relatives in russia, any aunts? did you communicate with them after february 24 until february 24? all of them, as far as i know, have any distant relatives. somewhere far away, but the last time i saw them was when i was walking under the table, so well, i don't know anything about them at all, i don't know anything about them, that they are just somewhere far away , you must be protected from communication with them, because a lot of ukrainians started on february 24, those who have relatives somewhere in russia began to somehow reach

their hearts and their minds and ran into some kind of simply deaf wall. what do you have? thank you for this story for this story and thank you for being such a person. thank you for doing this. a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine told his incredible story of how he was caught up in the full-scale invasion of crimea and how he got out, made his way through the fsb checkpoint and through 37 checkpoints of the russian military thanks to his legend that he was supposedly going to see a german aunt in zaporizhzhia to then bring her back to the crimea, thanks to such vasyl samoylovs . also, we are standing this year. we thank them, and now, the news of the economy. andrii nitskyi will tell us about everything new in this area andriy, thank you for your word, colleagues. by the way, i am also from the crimea, from the city of sevastopol,
