7:30 pm
[000:00:00;00] these oleschkas where they are shelling the coastal zone themselves and in this way meteorizing the civilian population and turning against the armed forces and driving them out of the city well, in principle , the option of such arson is also absolutely possible. in fact, there are no chances for people, or there are very few of them, well, there are obviously certain moments for money, and again, the question is where can people now , after a year of occupation, take a lot of money , the humanitarian component, what is happening there now besides the handing over of passports and similar things, because let's say all of veredonetsia, which was occupied well, it was a little later than kherson, kherson region, left bank, much later . somewhere there, spring, summer, people are receiving utility bills, and russian utility bills for destroyed houses . i don't know how it is, whether something similar is being produced in kherson region or in principle, people
7:31 pm
are trying to do this now , please don’t be angry once more, please, something similar usually happens in the kherson region, even because the main collaborators are the outliers who left to work for the russian federation is nonsense, who in their lives did not make doghouses in their lives, so these henchmen , in principle, they cannot organize any systemic process, therefore, in all spheres of life, there is a village, a place , complete chaos and disorder and in principle, well, the situation is somewhat similar with payments for gas, water, uh, with electricity in manual mode , they’re doing something there, but it ’s more like this
7:32 pm
. residents and humanitarian situation, in principle, the situation with food is more or less normal, the situation with medicine is much more complicated, with medicines and medical workers, and the food is coming from where in russia is it brought in, uh, some kind of contraband breaks through, food is brought in from crimea directly from the russian federation , which is traded in stores, it is also worth noting that kherson region is a land of farmers growing vegetables and fruits, and the majority of the population is located in rural areas, it is provided with its own vegetable garden and food, which is now available we will say, eat and save yourself from customers. i thank you very much for your comments. thank you for joining us. roman holovnyak, deputy mayor of kherson, head of the humanitarian project of kherson hubs. well, the ukrainian army also reports that the enemy is actively trying
7:33 pm
to desert the army. what is the occupying army that is in the kherson oblast, well, in fact, such things are happening in the east, and now they are even sending a new group of people from kadiliv to join these barricading lines and they did not give the opportunity to escape or to control those who want to escape, because a group of russians has already escaped somewhere or to a thicket or somewhere and is running with ammunition, this is a common phenomenon. dnipropetrovsk dnipropetrovsk dmytro bochkov acting as the head of the nikopol district council, mr. dmitriev , i congratulate you. good evening, glad to see and hear that the second year of the war has passed. whenever you look at the map of air alarms, there is always nothing there, er, it says somewhere that it was either an alarm or it will be now, well, that is, such a situation is very difficult for you. i asked first of all about the humanitarian security situation of the security, first of all, the situation as of
7:34 pm
the evening of this day, please, well, unfortunately, the situation remains difficult the terrorist enemy is terrorizing our region, er, there were shellings at night , the last three days, in general, terrorists are shooting very hard, bombing the territory of the city of nikopol , margantse, and chervonogrigorivka, and on a sharp and community, a very large number of people live in this territory was shelled, the last shellings at night led to high-rise buildings and schools and lyceums and the private sector, well, a lot. unfortunately , this happens very strongly, it always emphasizes the psychological pressure on the residents of the nikopol region, because there are 260,000 people who lived before the start of the war, very many people remain, and that is why such a situation occurs, that nikopol is constantly being shelled
7:35 pm
, uh, it causes a lot of such and uh , psychological pressure, and well, let's say, such a situation is very difficult morally, and on the other hand on the other hand, those people who left and left and territories where there is no shelling, but near neighboring cities and villages, that is , there are simply too many people in this territory , there are simply too many people in those territories, that is why such a situation remains difficult. we we perfectly understand that only a counteroffensive, only the de-occupation of zaporizhzhia's kherson region, can stop the enemy and stop shelling from the territory of energodar and the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant to our suffering nikopol . please tell me what the current situation is with electricity supply volo supply well, actually, the heating season will not end soon well, how soon, but the heating season will still continue now , what is the situation with this, everything is fine a-a this is all provided, sometimes the enemy enters and
7:36 pm
interrupts some electricity lines and water supply well in in principle, i can say that we sincerely thank our utility workers, representatives of critical infrastructure, who very quickly restore all this and in for all this time, in fact, the nikopol district has a long the term has never been without e life-necessary basic things, therefore, in principle, everything is normal and once again, we thank the communal workers in this matter, all this is, moreover, at the expense of foreign partners of state support e-e, many charitable funds and points of unbreakability and critical infrastructure a lot has been provided with generators, and they are very large and of high quality, so i can say that, as of now, nikopol is much more ready for the winter and for
7:37 pm
the recovery of the situation after the shelling than it is was at the beginning, and generators, which are probably not used so often now, because they are not used at all, especially such large industrial generators , they are preserved somewhere or not hidden far away, because they understand that the situation can change, although they say that the enemy will supposedly now look for new targets for firing missiles at him an unlimited number and obviously our power system will now be left alone, but in any case, what are you doing with the generators, the generators are standing by and i can say that this is, let 's say, not trivial or very difficult. sounded, but in europe there were always generators at every utility company and in every critical infrastructure, we didn't have them. that's why the enemy did a lot of bad things. but he also called local authorities the power of the state to solve this issue and in our future, now, in fact, at every utility company there will be such a generator, we will already say so , prepare for the fact that it must be so that if there is no light, there is no provision, there is
7:38 pm
a generator that helps that, in principle , generators still continue to come on the territory of the nikopol district. we fully understand that it is possible that such a need is not there right now, but no one knows what will happen the day after tomorrow or after a certain period. therefore, we will continue the program of providing generators for critical infrastructure. ukrainians will always find a use for everything, so give it to the ukrainians nothing will disappear , it will be used for its intended purpose, i know what you wanted to pay very briefly, but a year has passed , how has the community changed, the circumstances to russia are interrelated to each other, to ukraine as its own states as well as nations eh well, psychologically in general, is there any such understanding ? i think that you should definitely have it as an employee of the local government, please, i can tell you that of course ukrainians have changed and ukrainians who are experiencing in the territory of the nikopol district have changed
7:39 pm
we are still in the negative, i can tell us that i would like even more consolidation, we are consolidated , but we need even more consolidation. we have great potential and we must hide and unite more. would like to see more of course a lot of people on let's say it changed, they adapted and once one of your presenters on the espresso channel said well, a really true phrase about the fact that people are people and they adapt and, unfortunately, also people who have been under fire for 7 months in the nikopol area and the war has already been going on for a year, we have adapted to the existing situation and, unfortunately, we are used to living with war, but i can say that of course today, the government and on the ground, and we all want to launch a lot of different psychological and social projects, and the artist because it can be said that we
7:40 pm
this path to europe, which today overcomes ukraine, is a big, big one, well, let's say that , the life of the military and the shoes of civilians and a lot of psychological such a difficult situation , but we are going to europe and we must change ourselves. i would like us all to understand together that europe and those values that will be after our victory, it will definitely be. you must change yourself, so of course we must prepare for this. thank you very much for your work and for your comments. dmytro bachkov was with us as chairman of the nikopol district council, e-e this is a community that is constantly under fire, in fact, since the first days of the war, the enemy has captured the left bank of the dnieper, the energodar part of kherson region, kherson region , zaporizhzhia region, and of course from there he is hitting nikopol and the community, and people continue this war of theirs with their losses, of course, their human lives from the infrastructure, but their war continues, like
7:41 pm
the war of each of us who participates in it . well, what more about the war about weapons and about the situation on the fronts serhii zagorets will speak the director of the defeng express agency, the host of the column, military summaries of the day serhii congratulations, i congratulate you vasyl, i congratulate our viewers today, uh, we are talking about the match, we heard that not because a russian multi-purpose fighter jet took off from there, but because there were explosions. what do you know about this, please? well in fact, we heard that this mig-31 was deployed, which includes the dagger missile and the a50 aircraft, and today there is information that there was an explosion and that this particular a50 aircraft was actually damaged, the estimates are different, in particular it was as if there was some kind of explosion on the plane, and then there was a publication literally 20 minutes ago by the bipol initiative that in fact, in the case of an explosion, this
7:42 pm
plane was damaged, its antenna and other parts were damaged - it seems that the plane will never take off again air but we are waiting for additional information, but in any case, this news is quite positive, and later in the military results of the day, we will talk about the situation on the main fronts around bakhmut and when exactly to expect victory over russian federation about this in a moment, i would like to begin our review of the situation around bakhmut, which remains the most difficult , in fact, enemy combat operations around the city are one of the five directions where the enemy is trying to implement this global offensive. tonight, our general staff reported that russian troops on sunday entered unsuccessful offensive combat operations in the kupyan lyman , bakhmut, avdiiv and miner directions, but of course the details are important, and
7:43 pm
returning to bakhmut, i will say that today i had a conversation with my friend from of our assault regiment under bakhmut, which is armed with 105-mm howitzers, and he says that it is so much that actually we do not have time to destroy the number of manpower and mobile units of the enemy in a section of 4 km, not so much that, according to estimates, it is beyond the permissible limit and even a significant amount of artillery on our side does not always help here, the main thing is that there is no shortage of ammunition. although there are nuances with this time, according to his estimates , the ratio in artillery is somewhere one and two to one compared to russian artillery and as for the losses, his estimates are about one to 10 when we talk about manpower and today, by the way, in different circles, the minister of defense said that on the eastern front per day the russians lose 500 killed and 900 wounded per day
7:44 pm
. let me remind you that over seven months of attacks on bakhmut was not successful, and then at the cost of such significant losses, the enemy captured soledar and is now continuing attacks on bakhmut from three directions . we now have an infographic, we will look at this infographic and see what is happening right now on this part of the front most a difficult situation is precisely in the north, where already behind the bakhmut slovyansk highway, the enemy is trying to press in from the settlements of hilka and berry to the side of the ravine. why is this important? in the south, the enemy has been trying to attack for several days in a row from the direction of the villages of ivanivsky a little further east, yesterday there were reports that this is the distance from the berry where the enemy entered and to
7:45 pm
ivanivsky, somewhere within 5 km, and this is exactly the area is trying to be squeezed by the enemy from both sides, and in this corridor is precisely the important road through chromovo, which is under fire from the enemy. and they say that there are risks of encircling our group in bakhmut , but today the information is somewhat different, e.e. russian troops were moved from the ivanovo district anna at midnight, our troops stabilized the front line and recaptured several positions just to the west of the top and the berry. and in fact, a couple of hours ago, this counterattack of ours was still going on , so we can even say that these combatants the actions are now ongoing in the area of intersection of two transport lines. and in fact, it can even be argued that the armed forces are trying to go to the rear of the russian offensive group that was coming from brehivka, if the dynamics is fast enough in this part of the front
7:46 pm
, it may be due to the fact that, by the way, it is now located there and the commander of the ground forces alexander the syrian so that in any case the question of the withdrawal of our units from bakhmut to the new line of defense . forces in extremely difficult conditions and this is actually happening in all parts of the front at the beginning of the second year the latest phrases the latest phases of russian aggression against ukraine and now we have an officer of the armed forces of ukraine and people's deputies of the eighth convocation ihora lapin p igor congratulates you i wish you good health glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, now all attention is focused precisely on bakhmut, eh, are you talking to your brothers before that , were you there yourself in this area, or are there any new details that are important for our viewers to know well, let's put it this way to the information
7:47 pm
you provided , i can say that one of the enemy's groups tried to get to the plane , so to speak. to spread it all through their propaganda channels. as far as i have information that that group was destroyed and their let's say that direction was blocked here . well, what can i add exactly in the direction of bakhmut to those words that you reported the second a moment that i would like to draw attention to is a pretty good statistic in the context of artillery confrontation, i.e. one to 1.2 well, let's say i remember very well what the concentration of russian artillery was at the beginning of the war, we all remember the fire shafts now i can state the fact that the fire shafts they don't succeed because they don't already have a one to 10 advantage in artillery or one to 100 as in such areas but nevertheless they are trying to replace the lack of
7:48 pm
artillery precisely with infantry attacks against infantry attacks, of course, it is more difficult for our artillerymen to work because the urban development is some kind of agglomeration there . it makes the work of our artillerymen so difficult, and here the issue of providing precisely our infantry units, which are on the front lines, providing them with , let's say, mortars and mortar shells, and this mortar - we have had a severe famine for many, many months, especially the 120-caliber. well, there are also problems with the 82-caliber in the early sixties. mortars in the trenches well, i am generally silent about this, and they themselves are very few. and as they say, well, this is a big problem for ukraine today. so , limit yourself only to the purchase of mortars, well , the pipes themselves, and ensure that the supply of mortar shells to these pipes is not fixed until the end
7:49 pm
i think that this is now a serious challenge for our ministry of defense, which is actually responsible for the purchase of other things related to bahmut. well , i have nothing more to add. i don't know. the only thing is that the attempts to attack ugledar on some small areas there were failures. they had success, let's say so, their success was defeated by our guys, this is from what i know from talking with my brothers in certain areas. well, unfortunately, i can't go into more detail about what exactly, but i know that the positions have been restored. and let's say it, the guys are holding the defense. everything is holding up, although everyone understands that there is intelligence data . i think you also know that there was a very large concentration of personnel specifically in the ughledar direction, we understand why the russians need this and according to the unverified
7:50 pm
what information, but since i already know that the regulars came , they mean conscripts of the russian army, conscripts. well, we remember how russian propaganda prepared society , their russian society, that young guys are conscripts asking for battle and so on. well, i think that it was not in vain that they prepared this society to the point that they will be childish to give children, she is more let's say that she is trained because conscripts have already served not the first day in the army, on the other hand, they persevered because they are young, but the most important thing is that they are more they are obedient to their commanders than just recruited there, mobilized, therefore russia will use this reserve, and it is my deep conviction that in this such a hot phase, which is now happening in the spring and may continue , the one who loses his mind first will lose who will be the first to use the last reserve, it seems so to me, well, from the information
7:51 pm
i have today, i think that zaluzhny also understands this and those reserves that ours were preparing for a counterattack. i think that they will continue to accumulate, but i see that the russians too not everything is still thrown into the meat grinder and they keep it for and now for well, who is the first psycho not to go on the attack and thereby expose the main areas of concentration of his reserves and we will also understand this. to the one that flies 150 km well, i expect it so , i'm sure i'm not the only one, but it would help us a lot in the context of defeating more distant logistics centers, speaking for vugledar. just before the cutting of the logistics routes between crimea and donbas, there was would be logical for help to the fact that it flies 150 +, because in principle, if i am not mistaken , to melitopol from ugledar there they said 75 or 74 km
7:52 pm
, absolutely we cannot bring the same heimers to the zero line there, we understand that , that is why we do not get a little more . - simple well, by the way, you just mentioned melitopol as one of the directions of our expected offensive, today, by the way , there was an interview with the deputy head of the gur from skibi, where he said exactly that, that in principle, we are preparing offensive actions in the spring in order to, among other things, kill this connection with the crimea and carry out our offensive attacks if the equipment promised to us arrives in time, that is, you have expectations that there really will be no such inhibitions on the part of our partners and that it is actually in the interests of all civilized countries to help ukraine as much as possible against the background of china's escalating rhetoric i i think that now
7:53 pm
no one will stop our possible potential by suspending or slowing down aid. we remember that in principle our initiative, which was developing well in the fall of last year, just slowed down due to a decrease in turnover of arms supplies, and here you can also mention artillery and everything you want, second moment well, you know, i remember very well how everyone said that we were going to kherson. at that time, we went to kharkiv oblast, so now, to be honest , i'm wondering, will we to cut off this logistical route between crimea and donbas, you know my deep conviction. and what will it give us? today, we will not immediately go to crimea, and even after entering melitopol, if we do not liberate everything up to chongar and establish ourselves there, then in principle we will enter such narrow corridor and rake from both sides let's say so, from the donetsk film group and from the donetsk film group in this corridor. it will be very, very, very difficult for us, depending. of course, it depends on the width of this corridor, but let's not forget that we do not dominate those
7:54 pm
territories in the sky, so without the cover of aviation to enter such a narrow corridor - this is to endanger everything that enters this corridor if we say, well, the direction there is tentatively taken to zaporizhzhia and to melitopol, and once again we will have to expand it in two directions to donetsk region and to this and to crimea will we have enough forces for this without cover from the sky? well, to be honest, this is a very risky thing. although, on the other hand, i do not have a complete picture of the intelligence of what the russians have, what they fly there, well, to be able to analyze, on the other hand, i have there is no reliable information about our accumulation of reserves
7:55 pm
, we know that now reserve brigades are being formed, so to speak counter brigades. the pole is correct. that is, we understand that there will be tanks on the approach, but i emphasize once again that our ironclad must not be covered from the sky. if we cannot provide such cover, then i think that there will be a problem not only in the lancets that are guided with the help of eagles it is meant not only that there will be a problem with their barrage of kamikaze drones there , i think that the problem will be from the russian aviation, which is said to be somewhere around 400 boards, they now have a concentration of planes and helicopters, this is a very large number we won't be able to do it with needles and pins alone, because in such a small area, such a large number of aircraft can greatly hinder us, so i'm saying more questionable answers here, but i know for sure that our citizens believe in the armed forces, and they know about the possible directions of the offensive . the two of me
7:56 pm
the lord god has already said many times, and none of them is willing to report to me, and i thank god and there is no need to let him plan. we completely cut off the russians' ability to supply their troops from crimea, that is, crimea comes to the fore, and the same general willingly repeatedly talks about the fact that crimea should, by any actions, transfer both donbas and zaporizhzhia, so it looks, in his opinion, more it's rational, including possible with the logic you talked about, and by the way, literally. yesterday there was a statement from seven generals and admirals who commanded nato forces in europe. seven generals wrote such a letter saying that it was necessary to speed things up. providing uh uh aid to ukraine precisely because of the prism of the fact that if we do it later, we may have certain problems later, so it is interesting that the military understands the logic of emergency aid, while
7:57 pm
politicians sometimes delay with other circumstances, in particular, this also applies to crimea, because even the liberation of crimea is considered separately by american politicians such that it will cause additional escalation with the russian federation. what do you think about the liberation of crimea and this review of how russia will behave? well, firstly , additional escalation is much more additional there are no additional ones yet, there is no where to go already, the aviation is flying, the scanners are pounding, the artillery is working, people are being destroyed, civilian objects are being destroyed, where are the additional ones, except for nuclear weapons, well, regarding nuclear weapons , i would like to draw attention here, including to the statement of china, which despite everything about despite all the negativity that was published in the so-called 12 points of the chinese peace . there is a lot of negativity there, everything is basically the same for russia. but there is one point, it is a point that does not concern the use of nuclear weapons
7:58 pm
, that is, in fact, china told the russians that guys we are here with you, but only a nuke , no-no-no, the second point is already geopolitics, and the players are playing here, let’s say the e level , let’s say the level, that is, the question is how will a america react and how will the european union react to such a proposal by china to supply lethal weapons to the russian troops and if our western partners follow your word, then we will get an even greater escalation without having cover from the sky, and i am talking now about planes , we can lose that armor during possible counterattacks of ours, including by firing crimea therefore, er, they give everything and at once, then we have the possibility of a quick counteroffensive and a faster end to the war, which will bring an opportunity to save money for our western partners to finance weapons for ukraine, support our economy during the war, and so on. the second mechanism is if we continue
7:59 pm
to be more careful and and think and what will putin do even more strongly, i will say for today if you look and talk with your fellow citizens and with many people are ukrainians afraid of using nuclear weapons? well, i am not i see evocation trains leaving ukraine today. although everyone is talking about the fact that putin can do it, but nevertheless we do not panic because if this happens , it will not solve the problem of war, it can only destroy a large number of people in the area where it will be applied but the question of the success of russia's possible success of russia on the territory of ukraine in the ground forces is not solved by this, and i think that russia understands this , and china made its statement in this context in which they puffed up their cheeks and gave lethal weapons to the russians. and the european union answered something. and the americans also answered something. so far, these are statements and intelligence data, but the fact of the transfer itself has not yet
8:00 pm
happened . if, god forbid, it will happen. from the side of the european union and western partners. you understand that this is already a war of civilizational choice, democracy or an authoritarian regime, and if in this situation authoritarian regimes win over democracy, then tomorrow there will be taiwan, tomorrow there will be completely different problems, geopolitical and, if we say so, our ally, the united states of america, i still don’t believe in such a thing. well, i’m just saying theoretically that if we allow them to leave us there, i’ll stand up . but ukraine, yes, our allies. well, in principle , it will be possible to put a cross on their guarantee of world collective security. in principle , the system of the world system of collective security ended the moment russian soldiers entered crimea because not a single international treaty with russia's signature did not work ; the treaty did not work where
