[000:00:00;00] we are trying in every way not only to stabilize but to turn initiatives in our direction precisely in this direction, god forbid, this will happen if, well, that is , whether we are ready to leave bakhmut in the event of a strategic need, are there such conversations now, this is a big question that relates to another strategic, let's say yes, the management level , but the servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine are ready to carry out orders, now we have an order to hold the defense of bakhmut, to hold the defense of the adjacent territories in order not to give the enemy the opportunity to close the ring, so we will carry out combat tasks as he completes the tasks about today thank you for your work and for participating in the espresso broadcast welcome kudryashov deputy commander of the third assault brigade

major oleksandr samoilenko is already with us the head of the kherson regional council mr. oleksandr congratulations i congratulate you good health please tell me what the situation is operational in the kherson region, well, the operational situation , let's say, almost doesn't change. is it daily shelling - is it daily uh, well, how to say terror uh, of the civilian population, which is happening with on the side of the russian occupiers, there are constant arrivals of those, well, at least the territory there is liberated today, so it is located on the right side of the dnipro train. they are showing this destruction in the picture, yesterday we washed even a child who

was barely a year old, but she already knows what war is, she already understood it herself and the previous days, in general, we had the day before yesterday in we had five deaths that happened there in a day, a large number of wounded people , which were just from the shelling, we also have a dead person wounded from e-e. well, let's say of the wrong origin with mined objects or explosive objects there. but that's the same, these are the consequences of e- of armed aggression, etc., when the occupiers were leaving , they mined everything, they made every piece of kherson land so deadly, you know . well, in general, people live, the city lives, the city is gulping after the day before yesterday's shelling , which partially destroyed the civilian population there

infrastructure, but today almost in this city there is light , uh, they are coming to novaya, populated areas are moving in the same way. next, uh, we will throw civilization, because uh, a lot of them remained without electricity or without gas supply after they were liberated from of the occupiers, oleksandr, tell us in more detail about the destruction caused by these latest airstrikes, what are the consequences, well, the consequences, you know, the most terrible consequences are that during these shellings , people die in our country, during these shellings, our civilian infrastructure is also destroyed. well, the most important thing for people are trained and housing because, well, what do you understand, whatever the factors are for the return of money later, but you know, if you move in the kherson region, especially closer to the regional center or closer to the places where

the roshest artillery reaches, i will tell you that all our houses look terrible, you know if you can remember the films of the second world war , then it probably looks much more terrible today, and let's say for each village - this is stalingrad, which was completely destroyed during the second world war the city is also completely destroyed today, the villages are completely destroyed thanks to the actions of volunteers, or we have such good people, and speaking of construction, today they are trying to somehow cover these uh buildings that are left, they are all 100% without roofs, they are all destroyed with puppets, they don’t have today um, not with any burning elements there or, well, with the power supply, if i already said that we are trying to return to each liberated target point and uh, i want

to thank our partners who uh, who supply uh, and generators who supply for today sources of e-e electric energy that enable people today to feel at least somehow more or less protected on their land and with the benefits of civilization oleksandr yesterday was the sad anniversary of the occupation of kherson , precisely on march 1, the russians entered it in the regional center of ukraine and then there was a battle for the buzkovo the park where at least 24 representatives of the teroborona fighters died and yesterday in kherson a memorial cross was erected at the site of this battle, now a photo. maybe we will show you this one according to the information of the prosecutor's office. destroyed by the russians, because the advantage was strong b in technology. this is how this

monument of the crosses was installed yesterday. well , the sleeve from the artillery projectile. what do you know about this story of alexander? there is a lot of different information, including what was a fact. treason that the people were betrayed , the russians knew this information about the location of the number of weapons of the kherson terror defense , tell me about it, please. boarding school, you know, it’s like that, it’s a purely civilian park that leads, well, there are definitely no such defensive uh, uh, well , redoubts, in order to somehow delay uh, uh, the russian troops that were moving, let’s

say he’s on the way, if already uh let's say well, geographically, this is the encirclement after the encirclement of the city by the russian invaders, they have already begun to move into the middle of the place because from february 24 to march 1 , well, let's say conditionally the russians did not enter the city, they were afraid of resistance, they well, i didn't i know that they were afraid, but they did not enter the city, and this was the first year of efforts, the first movement of them into the city, we really have a small number of teroboronov, young guys who , you know, we will do it. unfortunately, we will repeat ourselves, we were not 100% prepared for the defense presented itself as such a powerful, uh, powerful body of struggle. as it is today, and these guys were , well, at least as far as i know, because the team of their commander, they were moving to

precisely this bussky park in order to take measures there to detain this column. unfortunately, they were armed only with kalashnikov assault rifles and, er, bottles with er , combustible mixture, as they say , a molotov cocktail was there at that time, er, or a bandera cocktail, er, and well, the distance from the column how they reached it and noticed our defenders, it was quite big there, well, at least what the eyewitnesses say, 50-200 m at such and such a distance, a molotov cocktail was thrown, well , no human being is capable and you know, after the first shots from the machine gun, they cynically shot them with e-e large-caliber machine guns they used machine guns, they hit the machine, well, you understand, there are trees that are 40 cm long in this park in this square, and these trees were already cut down by this shot, you know. well, unfortunately, our boys did not have any chance for that

, but you know. if you say so, it is true this is the first thing that kherson oblast showed that, well, this is kherson oblast, this is ukraine, and it will never accept this aggression, and you know that this is the first step of those er meetings, those er, well, the resistance kherson oblast made after march 12 and all the measures that happened exactly it was a continuation of the feat of these guys of ours who gave their lives. some people say that this is nonsense, it is better to say that it is really there somewhere, but i will say that they are heroes, they did not think for a second that their lives really belong to this country, it belongs to ukraine, unfortunately they had to live for just there, you know how in our country, as a result of obvious betrayal, a huge amount of southern territories of zaporizhzhia and

kherson oblast were captured literally in a week without fighting as well well, as i read a lot of information that among the leaders of the kherson resistance were traitors who simply surrendered these people and provided the russians with all the information about where they are, what they are armed with, where it is better to destroy them, and they themselves, as it were, led them to this park, where you simply do not say it yourself, there was not a single fortification. people were simply destroyed by large-caliber of machine guns, has the prosecutor's office confirmed this fact or not ? well, i'm not ready to confirm that the prosecutor's office, uh, is there a fact of treason? i'll say one thing. really collaborators or people who betrayed their homeland, some for money, some for some ideas. well, maybe, maybe someone has an idea this time of year, but i will say that today , uh, well, i am sure that not a single

criminal act of any official or any person who she was there at that time, under the occupation, she will not remain without , without any, without a dignified response , and the court is waiting for each of them, and each of them is waiting , i am sure of that, the prison and those who know , today there is an evacuation collaborators from the left bank well, i want them there to convey that those who will manage to escape, maybe they will remain, only the human essence of god will remain, but those who will be captured, well, those who will be detained, and i am sure that both a human court and a legal state court are waiting for the one who will really appreciate eh

the work of everyone in the kolobeks of ivan's work to speak p oleksandr the general staff informs in the last intelligence that the enemy is trying to go on the offensive from under zaporizhzhia and kherson what is the operational situation there what do you know well really there is shelling of a populated place every day boryslava is and in general there are populated areas of the boryslav district, we have flights to the testicle. in points of the boryslav district, it really is all there. it is almost without light, so i will say that the enemies pay a lot of attention to this. but again, the response of

the armed forces of ukraine is not to wait for myself every day we have information about the warehouses of which sets that are located there in the occupied territory close to the demarcation line e -e, in addition, there is constant information about the fact that they are taking out wounded or dead occupiers from e-e the cities of luchen, our soldiers there, therefore there there are more active military operations, but i am sure that all these, well, let's say such signs, that it is really certain and sure that in the near future, the left part of the kherson region will also be released, oleksandr you mentioned the evacuation of the collaborating authorities from the left bank, from which the minsk ones are being evacuated and where are they being transferred and what do the collaborators themselves say, how does the balance feel there, they haven't mentioned it for a long time, please i won't say because i don't

know, we already hid the site once, and he, i don’t know, from a viper who survives in any case, but i’m sure that he will also face trial, uh, fair, honest , what will happen to him, that is, other collaborators will be taken away today. well, that’s it there is clear information about the fact that in the city of oleshki, in the city of skadovsky, in the city of holobrystan, e.e., there would be constant evacuation of collaborators, which is pleasing that they are not allowed to even take the money they earned during their time there, e.e. let's say that collaboration and cooperation with the enemy with only suitcases has even a video that confirms that they are really taking them out. they are trying, well

, they are really taking them out . they are not out of god. them from what they are not fired upon on the way, which means the defense forces of ukraine, that is why they are taken to the territory of the autonomous to the temporarily occupied territory of the autonomous republic of crimea, and we have such confirmed facts, but i will tell you that it does not cause great joy even among the collaborators, because there is already information about those that they moved in earlier from the city of kherson, that it turned out that all this was the provision of apartments there or some kind of financial assistance. collaborators, some uh, a proposal from the russians was presented, they are in despair and are already looking for an opportunity to return. even through the punishment, but they understand, find a hangover

. it can be tough . and we will end this hour with serhii zgurts, director of the information consulting company defense express , analysis of the military situation and weapons . there are already 150,6005 yes thousands of course thank you in the armed forces of ukraine with more than 150,000 invaders have already been liquidated in the directions where he previously tried to attack

and counterattack, well, of course. now everyone's main attention is focused on the situation around bakhmut, because there the enemy is trying to attack the city from the south, from the north, from the east, and the situation is just in the north. around bakhmutu is the most difficult because the enemy is trying to press on to the route of times i chrome bakhmut is the route that is now the main source of support for our e-e units and actually it is about the fact that now they are trying to advance to bogdanovka and times i that is, these populated areas that are very close to the highway, which is extremely important for the provision of the armed forces, this operational corridor that is now there, if you measure between eh in this area , it is 10 to 4 km, and the maintenance of this

corridor remains extremely important the command of the ground forces, the deputy minister of defense, malyar, said that now the reserves are being transferred to the region, will these reserves be directly thrown into combat operations, or will they actually strengthen the defense line , which goes along the hills, which dominates immediately , and we'll see, but actually this is the direction it remains the most difficult gas now because i think that a few days will be extremely decisive in any case the situation even if you remember earlier when there was a story about severodonetsk when we were planning a withdrawal to, in fact, in this withdrawal, she transmitted active cat offensive actions from the ukrainian side, you do not include that right now the same story will be the same when counter-offensive actions will be carried out in the e direction in the directions around bakhmut, and this will provide the opportunity

for our military to withdraw to other frontiers if such a decision is made adopted because literally all of yesterday and experts were discussing whether there would be a departure or not, and we saw statements from the official spokesmen of the southern command, where serhii cherevaty said what the decision was not made, so in any case, this dynamic remains sufficiently tense , and as i understand it, we will see the key decisions in the near future according to the general staff and changes . the plus of the last well, we conclude that in any case where the line of defense did not pass , the work for the armed forces remains the same to destroy the enemy and , relatively speaking, now in the bahmut zone there are all the prerequisites

for destroying the enemy there with a ratio of 1:10 and if there is an opportunity to hold the defense, then this is actually being done now . the question is that this does not cause future risks for the group located on this part of the front, which actually worries all of us, and president zelenskyi said that we will not hold the territory at the expense of there is a significant number of lives of personnel because this tension was extremely transparent and understandable , so today we see this balance between certain political and military decisions is now betting on the fact that , relatively speaking, the prerequisites for the destruction of the enemy remain

, and the conditions for the withdrawal of troops to protect the border also remain, this is this delicate balance, as it is right now. as more pragmatic people, she is now forced to solve these two tasks to increase more and more of the enemy and not to lose the conditions for a safe exit to anastasia's new frontiers. well, this picture that we just saw somehow worries her in a semi-circle around the bahmut i'm just afraid that god forbid it won't happen again, we remember ilovaisk and other current ukrainian troops from 88 years ago. almost all the bridges were destroyed and the reinforcements of north donetsk forces had to be transferred across this river and withdraw the troops , it was extremely difficult, all this was done without critical losses for our

units. i think that this experience and oil pro and the correct retreat has already been practiced in the ukrainian army, and i very much hope that it will be done in this way and now because this thin palace we could actually drink alcohol than journalists or people do not really feel what is happening on the battlefield itself some options for withdrawal some the roads still remain because not only the road from chromoma is the only one, there are also other roads that are less powerful, but they remain, that is, in fact, we are talking about the fact that this section of the fund is now such a black hole where a significant amount is destroyed of the russian forces, we are also suffering losses, and the main thing is to understand where the losses are no longer rational, because now these few days, two, three, four will be extremely revealing about the situation around bakhmut, because, i will repeat, the transfer of

units is extremely it is important when we talk about strengthening our forces in baku and what tactics and further actions the ukrainian leadership will take, it will also be extremely revealing, because there is a repeating pattern, there are literally close to each other, there are a number of dominant the height of which, as i understand it, will be built on the new line of defense that is already being prepared. and there it is literally several kilometers, and so that from any point of view , even the elevation of this er-e bahmut there , where part of our troops remains, it does not cause the collapse of the line defense, on the contrary, the situation there is absolutely under control and in the future, would there be a shortage of supplies now in the eastern direction ? that there is no shortage of western operations, we can cover the area around

bahmut on the entire perimeter, because we have the troops. when we go down directly to the line, where the fighters are sitting in the trenches and talk about what they need there, because the troops to the ags to the lng, that is, those short-range ammunition, which primarily concerns the performance of combat tasks by individual fighters, indeed, yesterday on the air and in other airs, we heard this from our soldiers. i think that these are important challenges that must be taken into account by our structures, which provide supply well, actually, this is the priority that, as we can see, against the background of conversations about airplanes, on these conversations about tanks, we must not forget about simple things that depend on the effectiveness of the work of a soldier in the eye under the line of contact by an athlete, this is, well, an important component of it can be ignored especially since every soldier talks about it enough enough, well, persistently, every time you

communicate with the people who defend bakhmut , an important component is also aviation, which we are asking for and waiting for, and slovakia can deliver 10 fighter jets could dry up ukraine, the press writes about this today with the words of the minister of defense yaroslav nady slovakia is considering such a possibility, ten of the eleven fighter jets available in this country were transferred to ukraine , it was possible-29 and the 11th will be handed over to the museum , how likely is such a situation well, in fact, this one is quite the alleged story has been going on for several months already, promises about the transfer of these fighters have already been raised before, together with the polish fighters of 29, we expect that this will really happen within a few 3 weeks tim more than that, the leadership of slovakia is talking about this, it will increase the number of aircraft in our arsenal that can perform missions

primarily against air defense, but we understand that in terms of their capabilities and the list of weapons, they do not significantly change the situation on the battlefield, we understand that we we will simply have more of such a plan. and actually, of course, we are also waiting for other decisions by politicians, although all the current rhetoric of the american side and other representatives of other countries suggests that aviation is now not absolutely necessary for ukraine needs to talk about other types of weapons, but the challenge here is that conducting large-scale counteroffensive operations in the east of our country with the involvement of these new maneuver brigades of ours still requires cover from the air. and this is a serious challenge. how to combine the conduct of wide-range attack without active cover from the air, so far this is for me well, it remains

a certain hurdle, i hope that a solution will be found, because due to the increase in the number of long-range weapons that can partially carry out the function of aviation in such a palliative option or will some other decision be adopted because simply advancing without cover from the air is risky enough in view of the challenges for those units that are advancing literally serhiu well the situation in the direction above bakhmut is the criminatory siversk estuary i quoted oleg zhdanov who he said that he paused a bit. let's say that the counteroffensive of the ukrainian armed forces on crimena, because the russians have strengthened very much, and now the dynamics may go in the opposite direction, or is there a threat of capturing the estuary on your opinion well, the situation is still normal, well, far away. they think that this scenario is a bit strange to me. now we are talking about the fact that the svatov area is really saturated with russian

troops. they are trying to put pressure on our units. throughout the area, trying to get us there to- so that we retreated to behind the river there , uh, oskil and the stallion river, that is, this area is connected with the fact that they are trying to push us out of the line at the front, which is important for them from the point of view of security it is precisely in the north of the luhansk region and there is progress there operatives are absolutely not significant, we remember the history of what is happening there around the flint, we see the battles, they are active in principle, and the front line is not moving , the problem is that the russians have right there in the zone in valuyok, just to the north, a number of reserves that are still active these reserves are not actually introduced, they are also not significant, but we understand that you are standing there on

russian territory, and they can actually move along this line there, buy svatov criminal and actually, how do we hold back your reserves, how do we match them, well, it will partially affect the situation on this part of the front, serhiy, thank you for analyzing the situation on our air. serhiy zguritsya analyzed the situation on the front, the director of the information consulting company defense express and the head of nato, the secretary general, said that russia is throwing troops against ukrainian defense lines, which are not seen and since the first world war, he said this in an interview , now i kiss the singer russia is strengthening ties with other authoritarian regimes such as keram and north korea, our goal is to ensure ukraine needs strength and copper in order to win, said stoltenberg, well, it's very good that the rhetoric is slowly changing from uh, don't

fall, our allies are moving to help us win, we will have high hopes and wait, in particular, for strategic aviation, there are almost 9 clock seconds to the wave we are silent, brief information from the deputy prime minister, the minister of economy of ukraine, yulia svyridenko, she believes that it is necessary to increase the sanctions pressure on seedlings and nuclear energy russia, or russia has stopped financing the war and applying nuclear terrorism, she added that the aggressor country should lose its place as a global exporter on the world energy market now at 9:00 a.m. in memory of all the dead , we will honor with a minute of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that
