a good day. health today, february 28, the 370th day of the ukrainian people's heroic resistance to the russian invaders, the situation in bakhmut in donetsk region, where the bloodiest battles have been going on in recent months, is becoming increasingly difficult armed forces of ukraine on the border with moldova have increased security measures and are building fortifications, meanwhile, the russian occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine, as of the morning of february 28, russia has already lost 149,240 people in ukraine in the last day alone, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 550 orks since the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 3,388 tanks, 660 armored fighting vehicles, 2,383 artillery systems , 478 missile salvo systems, 247

air defense systems, 300 aircraft, 288 helicopters, 5,252 units of automobile equipment, 18 ships, boats, 873 cruise missiles, 2,051 drones, 231 special equipment , about the current situation on the eastern and southern fronts of ukraine, about how the russians closed the sky over st. petersburg today because some unidentified flying object was near the airport pulkovo , we will talk about the situation that is not developing on the northern front, in particular on the border with belarus and russia in the chernihiv region , for the next hour i want to introduce our first guest today - this is mykhailo samus and military expert director of new hepeltix resorch network mr. mykhailo good day good health to you thank you for joining our broadcast i congratulate you so

let's start a conversation with the situation on the eastern front, the most difficult section of the front in these minutes and these days this is the bakhmut direction the situation is becoming constantly more difficult, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said about this in his evening address, we will hear and see what volodymyr zelenskyi said , he is constantly in touch with our commanders , especially the situation in the east is clear in donetsk region, the bakhmut direction, the situation is becoming more and more difficult, the enemy is constantly destroying everything that can be used to protect our positions for consolidation and defense, our soldiers who defend themselves in the bakhmut direction are real heroes, mikhail

, rather alarming information is passing. the main blow in its offensive on the eastern front. how do you assess the current situation, as of this hour, at this minute , well, it is obvious that a-a before the russian the command has the task of a political level to turn bakhmut into a huge victory , that is, to achieve success by destroying this city, surrounding it and forcing the ukrainian forces to withdraw from a strategic point of view, even from an operational point of view, it will no longer mean much for let's put it this way for front because the ukrainian troops will retreat to prepared positions and this will not allow the russians to break through further. as they dream, they are planning for kramatorsk slovyansk, but it is precisely from the point of view of propaganda that russia will try

to demonstrate to the russian population , of course, that russia is beginning to win, that russia has achieved a huge strategic victory, and in this regard , obtaining bachmut is really important from a psychological point of view. well, many people talked about the military significance of this city , of course every ukrainian city is unique and it cannot be given to the enemy under any conditions other than those that are made, and we cannot sacrifice our military to you if the conditions are already critical that threaten, for example, the environment the garrison of the city will then have to make decisions about leaving the city. i am simply talking about possible options for the development of events, although at the moment ukrainian soldiers are holding the city, and they are resisting both in the north and in the south and from the east, preventing the enemy from breaking through and despite these frenzied attacks because it is really the impression that now russia has simply concentrated

all its forces precisely on this narrow area of ​​the front, that is, if we talked , do you remember about two months ago, when there were a lot of predictions about what would begin now a large-scale offensive by the russians and uh, in the imagination of many people, this large-scale offensive was depicted the same as on february 24 of last year from seven directions on fronts of 2000 km with huge forces of 300,000 troops and so on . in fact, all this is now concentrated in fact in three small areas this is the bakhmut direction, this is crime and this is the ugledar direction, where the russians are trying to advance, and it is obvious that they are concentrating their forces in these directions , and in any way, regardless of any losses, we see this you can actually see it in real time, there are many videos that show the losses the russians are suffering, they just go

through such a graveyard of equipment, through fields full of bodies, but they go, despite this, they already have troops abroad who simply do not give them the opportunity to return and run away from the battlefield and uh, the moviks and even more so uh, these prisoners who are used by the so-called wagner pvk, that is, the situation is very tense, and it is precisely explained by the fact that russia decided to achieve success precisely on a narrow, narrow section of the front which will be possible to represent a huge strategic victory, although in any case it will not be such a military serviceman with the call sign magyar says that the enemy troops have changed their tactics, now they are letting the wagnerites in front without the right to turn back, after that the regular troops are going to that every night the enemy launches airstrikes, let's hear what he says about the situation near the city of bakhmut

, the magyars are under siege, we are here. that is good . i will entertain you a bit about the new dog tactics around bakhmut. do you remember i told you that the concentration the wagners of the sivrian e-e shzezla came in regular troops and you know that the regular troops are a little bit so sticky worms we start massaging them i am not talking about the barrel but even with e-e resets or some other e-e appropriate gifts for gifts then they run away and they got their bearings in a couple of days and returned the advanced detachments of fire fighters. what are they doing now, groups of 5 to 20 worms, exactly fire fighters, we clearly understand this, because even the same ones follow the aircraft separately

on the air by radio intercepts, this is what they immediately use every night powerful missile airstrikes on the trampoline flew now it will sound like this it sounds like an airstrike on the center of bakhmut as it was wagnerian stewed meat so it was left a little they took it away now they have returned it and they are in all directions that are around bakhmut as an advance group that is not the right to go back, everything after them comes regular troops, they are called hounds , regular troops, in fact, it is quite like this with fear, uh, hearts, they have nothing to do with their limbs, uh, wormwood is behaving accordingly, receiving an art meeting, or is getting in touch today, february 27, without exception, in the direction of bakhmut, mr. mykhailo

, until the first of march, putin wanted his army to enter the administrative borders of the so-called lpr and dpr, and earlier he wanted it it was march 1, 2022. then until may 9, 2022. then until the day of the unity of the russian federation, there were still, well, that is , there were many, many different holidays, and they all wanted to go to these admin borders. tomorrow, march 1, the beginning of spring, it means that russians again failed in their plans and what does this mean for ukraine in fact i think that they really reached this date uh but putin will set a new date, that is, it makes no sense for him to retreat, his only option is to continue this war and try somehow after all, break through the ukrainian defenses, occupy the entire donetsk luhansk region, and then it is already possible to talk about

the fact that he is ready for negotiations . that they always spoke from the position of negotiations, that they are ready for negotiations, the only thing is to respect the interests of russia . but putin would like to fix , let's say, the situation, freeze it by occupying the entire donetsk luhansk region, because in this situation, when they cannot show any success on the don, you actually, well except for the luhansk region . it is in the donetsk region that during the year of the war, in fact, the progress is very minimal, well, under such conditions, of course , putin, even with all his propaganda, could not claim victory if he

occupied the entire donetsk region and luhansk, it could be presented like this. well, really. in principle, we have our goals in this so-called we wanted to protect the people of donbass. everything else was just pressure on ukraine and the west. and now we are ready to consider the conditions of -e of the world e-e regarding the signing of some new minsk three other treaties , that is, for putin, it is fundamentally necessary to achieve e-e this goal of occupying the luhansk region in donetsk and therefore he will continue to a-a postpone these dates for ukraine. this means that we will still have at least one very difficult month, when the ukrainian army will prepare for counter-invasion operations in the spring, when the ukrainian army is now forming its shock heavy a-a groups already armed with western equipment, information is already coming about the first prepared battalions, for example , on bradley already there are results of the training

of the ukrainian troops on leopards on other equipment, there is hope that we will have long-range missiles just in time for the spring campaign, so it's march again we often say that now will be a critical period of the war, but now will be a critical period and march again promises to be really critical because for putin this is a period when he can do something before the ukrainian army is ready to strike. it is unknown where. because for putin it is impossible to determine where and there will be a blow, many say it will be the south that it will be melitopol and maybe not the south and maybe not melitopol but maybe it will be a completely different direction for putin it is very difficult to determine his concentration of efforts for example, on bahmut, it puts him in such a disadvantageous position because he concentrates all the reserves there, he concentrates

the most combat-ready units there, and in other directions he has a problem because he cannot stretch his combat-ready combat-ready reserves to such large fronts , expecting attack from any direction , so he actually has a month left for him , maybe less. i hope that it will be less when the ukrainian army begins to actively act offensively, and if we remember the ukrainian tactics. the application of a rather long mass application of high-precision weapons at the e-e command points of warehouses with ammunition at the basing places of personnel, then we can see as soon as this massive e-e application of such tactics, this shape-shifting will begin , we can say that the preparation for our next offensive operations has already begun in principle, sometimes now there are strikes against melitopol, and there were several strikes against

mariupol, which was quite interesting from the point of view of what kind of weapon it was and whether it is really a western weapon. are these our developments, but with on the other hand, in any case, it raised a question before the occupiers that mariupol. it turns out that he is not in the rear, but he already considers this ukraine as one of the goals of de-occupation, and direct de-occupation, and this really changes a lot for them. because it is one thing to believe that this is the rear, and it is another matter that the anti-aircraft defense systems should be kept there, forces that would be able to conduct defensive operations should be kept there , mykhailo, we have been observing over the past few days, even several months, how the russians are trying to attack the chernihiv region, that is, to use the border of russia from the chernihiv region, the bryansk region

of the chernihiv region, to launch drones from there, in particular yesterday, and the day before yesterday , they launched drones over kyiv, which were successfully shot down by our army in the last day, but at night , the russian federation carried out shelling in the sumy region, 36 blows were given to the middle-class community of khotyn ismansk, you said that it is unlikely that there is already such an opportunity and that there is such a plan in the russian federation to follow the same path as they went a year ago, on february 24, 2022, we know that entire tank columns passed through the sumy region in the direction of kyiv, and they were walking through the fields and trying to pass, let’s say, in large columns of 100 to 200 po 300 tanks, well, a large column was passing through the sumy region. is it possible now to attack the sumy and chernihiv regions

in order to divert the attention and capabilities of the forces of the ukrainian army from the eastern front? well, from the set of forces that the russians have there , i think that it does not look like a shock attack a group of forces that is ready to carry out operations and successful work, because if we allow ourselves such a possibility that , for example, they really begin to enter the territory of ukraine again, using all their capabilities , including artillery. maybe there will be air strikes and so on, then ukraine can respond and no the fact is that ukraine can stop at the russian border. and for those small forces that are located, for example , opposite chernihiv or sumy regions , they actually have not a

lot of forces in the depths, they are all concentrated in other regions, of course, in the donbass in the south and therefore, well, there is a great danger for the russians themselves. that is, you can look even to the north . i mean belarus, that is, too. a wave of partially also so-called mobilization, then they will conduct, for example, from november another wave and by the end of winter they will be ready just in time for february 24, they can prepare a large-scale operation from the territory of belarus, but they did not do it, that is, they did not there was this wave of another so-called e-mobilization and there was no establishment of groups on the territory of belarus, there were 30-50 or, for example , i believe that it would be necessary to have even more, up to 80,000 mobs, in order to really carry out strikes from several directions from the territory of belarus

so that they were successful and would have had a chance on the russian side, now there is the same as half a year ago, for example, there are 10-12 thousand russian troops plus belarusian forces, which i think, looking at lukashenka , would not really want to participate in this war because lukashenko is obviously wandering around and still trying to avoid this very scenario, well, it's not for nothing that he flies to china , obviously trying to somehow fit in, ah, in that peaceful so-called children's initiative, it's obvious that china is starting its new game, a new strategy in relation to it and russia against ukraine is trying to take advantage of this and lukashenko is trying to build himself into this chinese concept, obviously trying to get out of that concept in some way

. in fact, of course, we are now dealing with, well, since february 24, we understand, well, too much, someone understood it much earlier, someone understood on february 24 , we are dealing with people who do not have, uh, many rivets in their heads uh, they uh, have a bad intelligence and they can make any decisions, the most idiotic, including striking , for example , from any direction if it is obvious that this will lead to a disaster for the books themselves. given conditions ie they don't have a group in belarus, their forces are still concentrated more in the donbass and they

are just now trying to somehow attack the ukrainian forces located in the chernihiv sumy region. on the territory because ukraine can say well, i'm sorry, but we will conduct our operation in order to clear the thunderstorms coming from the russian territory. yesterday in the media there was information that a flying radar was damaged at the belarusian airfield in the lishchy match. a plane that is basically used for aerial reconnaissance to target targets at a distance of up to 600 km. yesterday, lukashenko , who flew to china today, was assembling a power unit, but there is no open information about what they said there, and they somehow did not comment, we know that this is an airfield it is located literally near minsk, 15 or 20 km away, if i’m not mistaken. of course, this

attack on this plane was obviously organized, including thanks to the ukrainian special services, although the special services did not comment particularly. it was obviously the drone was obviously controlled by someone and the media wrote about the fact that those who controlled this drone may have left the territory of belarus, they managed to leave according to your opinion. these are the point strikes on the airfields from where these damned planes take off, which every time make us experience these massive air alarms. i am very i remember well how it was on august 24, 2022, on independence day. 8 or 9 times there was this air alarm because we could constantly take off.

conditional peace, i mean and deprive russia of controlling our airspace thanks to such flying radars, i know that in russia there are 5 or 6 such planes, if i'm not mistaken, yes, there are really five or six of them, because these planes are actually electronic intelligence planes which can create such a picture, and which is already transmitted to the command posts, and the command posts distribute this information about the targets , including the air, sea, ground ones at a depth of up to 600 km, and distributes them to the means of defeat. that is, it is such a universal machine which forms a reconnaissance picture for any ground targets, these can be icons of tanks

, even missile launchers , ukrainian anti-aircraft missile complexes, that is, any interesting targets for their destruction. that well, in fact, nothing will change, well, there. maybe at the moment, the destruction of one plane will not change anything, because it can be replaced by another, but if you take into account the fact that russia is a big country, it has more than one . let's say that there may be a threat from now the ukrainian front, they may have several strategic directions where it is necessary to use such electronic reconnaissance aircraft to take this picture and the same china, central asia, after all, nato is present in the war zone of the russian federation and having only 5-6 such aircraft in its arsenal in the park they were produced in the soviet union of russia, they cannot be created by the same aircraft, this is all the same as strategic construction aviation, it is unique for russia because they themselves cannot produce it, the same is true of the a50 aircraft, which

created on the basis of the y76 plane, that is, all the equipment is unique and, er, five or six planes, in fact, it is critical, that is, if you destroy 2-3 planes, i think that they will begin to have real problems, because it is statistically possible to say that there are 5 of them -6 and to fly and fully fulfill their tasks. maybe the number is less, that's why i think that this strike is extremely important, because the responsibility for it was taken by belarusian partisans, including even representatives of the transitional government of tykhanov - it is possible to be an element pr, and there may be an element of some coordinated operation of the ukrainian special services and er belarusian friends, that is, but here is a very interesting aspect. by the way, the russians immediately began to talk about the fact that it was a strike by ukrainian drones from ukrainian territory, that it was six drones er, most of which they shot down one of them somewhere, it collapsed over

this plane and thus damaged it. it is obvious that russia immediately tried to use this to drag belarus into the war again, by putting pressure on lukashenka. look, here you are already hitting the airfields near minsk, and you don't react , but uh lukashenko demonstratively . the ministry of internal affairs and he said that it is necessary to bring discipline there in the ranks of the kdb , that is, hinting at the fact that the problem is that, firstly, the agency infiltrated the personnel of the airfield through its strategic airfield and, plus, it is happening on the territory of belarus, well, it is not clear

that if ukrainian special services or belarusian partisans can reach such an important airfield near the capital, this is something that really threatens lukashenko personally, because lukashenko himself can use these airfields in russia by hackers again. an air alert was announced, which the leaders saw in krasnodar , voronezh , kazan, leningrad region, belgorod, saratov near moscow and other cities, let's see how it was. today's situation in st. petersburg, when the pukov airport stopped accepting planes and military aircraft were raised in connection with the threat of an unknown

drone, this is also, in principle, a consequence of the fact that they are afraid of strikes by ukrainian drones or ukrainian missiles, although we we understand that where is st. petersburg , where is ukraine, relatively speaking, at the northernmost point of ukraine, how likely is it, mr. mykhailo , that we can strike at the military airfields of the russian federation? we remember this story with the attack on engels and nevertheless, to what extent can we develop this success and show the russians that they are also vulnerable to our weapons if we follow the development of ukrainian projects such as the drone army, there is the prytula fund

, sternenko works in this direction, and the same magyar, but the magyar is engaged in everything tactical drones, but even in those programs, uh, these are non-governmental programs, this is a crowdfunding program, that is, people are collecting funds and uh, different let's say technological contributions and uh, scientific and industrial ones create more and more new ones drones and there, in fact, in all these projects, the number of drones is in the hundreds, and sometimes even in the thousands, and i think that this concentration of efforts will give results, well, literally this night, when there hackers hacked uh and launched uh on russian television these sirens, in fact, there were several strikes by drones on various russian cities in the belgorod region in the south of russia, er, there is a video where these unmanned drones fly by, that is, ukraine is obviously

studying the ppu system, studying er, those er, are possible passage routes and are preparing for a massive attack, that is, one day. and this would be just right. i think to do a concentrated during the spring anti-terrorist company , russian cities can feel for themselves what it is like real strikes by ukrainian drones, and the strike. i think that will be applied to really important infrastructure objects and especially military ones, that is , in order to create just that atmosphere of chaos and panic . it is quite far from the border. it will, of course, hit
