[000:00:00;00] adequately reacts to the enemy's stop, some probes our defenses, we are preparing for more such active hostilities, the fact that they are trying to surround us is no secret to anyone. and please tell the enemy about the match of your defense, with what forces, as he once did this probing in the direction of bakhmut by the forces of er not very ready for war mobilized or er those hastily conscripted convicts into the army no, now there are more personnel such servicemen, especially tankers of armed groups like ours, who go to the front line and inflict fire damage from a minimum distance and with them it is difficult to beat the singer wagner better than before . that is, after all, this is a purple, as they say, more elite and more educated, so, obviously, these are people who may have served in the cadre of the russian

army, then, uh, decided to return for the time of this war. and here are the tanks. because you know, for a long time, there was even such a laugh on social networks , and some experts said that the russians had already pulled the t-64 there and are attaching 190 body kits to these t-64, but in fact it remains a t-64 just a little with such a certain upgrade or with a certain tuning a-a and those tanks that are now going against uh-uh on your positions against uh-uh ukrainian tanks what is this is it true that in those positions the enemy even has some tanks, oh , what a breakthrough they have no analogues and they are completely modern. well, i have two of these, and 72 b3 b3m are coming at us. their russian tankers are the same ones. this is the modernization of the 17th year, the ones that we see in drones, which are, well, specifically, during assaults, but, well, in the infliction of carbon damage

. namely modern tanks and not the old ones that is, you didn't notice the tanks in the breach there. look, well, the breakthrough is theirs, so the name is such that it was more like they scared him in reality. it 's just a t-90 tank with modifications there. and there are computers, but well, it remains a tank at the level of the t-72 there are simply additional functions that help tankers perform combat tasks better, but if the crew is trained, i can of course perform them, and even better , because they say that when they talk about bakhmut , they are talking about what is in that area, in principle , especially when talking about battles in the city or battles in the north and in the south close to the city, uh, there, tanks would not be decisive, or the presence of modern tanks, in particular, the leopard 2 , or uh, those beasts that poland gives us, or other tanks from our partners, or these british tanks, they would not be decisive in that area because there is a close battle going on there now and other types of tactics will be decisive there. if we talk about your

number, i understand that you would have these new tanks that we are waiting for from our partners, but i have been waiting for a month and even more they played played a certain role, and specifically speaking, er, some leopard-2. i understand that you did not sit in it for sure. well, maybe i don’t know, but the conventional leopard-2 or the conventional british tank is what should reach us, what advantages would they give? well, that that they are more convenient in automatic transmissions. let's say that in the t-90m , in my opinion, only an automatic transmission appeared, and then they use mechanics, there is the possibility to drive mechanically, e-e, electronics, comfort , power reserve, clothes, well, this is modern equipment , soviet, all russian tanks are modernized by themselves soviet samples are not possible to compare it with technology, but at the same time it remains a tank, any tank can be destroyed. i think for, that is, i understand that during the battle. well, let's say in your

direction, the survivability and effectiveness of a tank means from its speed, from the ability to maneuver. well, probably certain to an extent and from that bruni that is on it, because of course a projectile can hit the sub-turret, it can hit so that it flies further by inertia or cause non -lethal and non-lethal damage to the crew , so if we are talking about this leopard, i think what exactly are you interested in him? well, you can’t be interested in tanks that sooner or later will reach the armed forces of ukraine. so what exactly are these advantages? it’s faster , it’s more maneuverable, it’s uh, what advantages are there that neither our tanks nor those tanks have which are used by the enemy today , look at the main use of tanks, this is an operation that is planned in advance. the crew knows the area where they perform combat tasks, firing positions, i.e. additional firing positions, the place of departure of the approach and if this operation is planned

then the tank becomes a different weapon that destroys the enemy, breaks through their defenses, that is, the trained crew is brave, this is also very important, but if there are such factors, then it will be possible to fight at a high level . the training of the crew and the courage of the crew are very important, and the command of which they are believe i want to ask now for everything, i will ask about e -e provision of ammunition and projectiles , the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi met today. in europe, they are made, well, a certain amount, even this large amount is not enough for today, the war that ukraine is waging against the enemy, or hmm. i know the army story about the fact that there is always a shortage of ammunition, but still, is there a sufficient number of them to at least perform the tasks that today daily ammunition is in front of you

, you always want more, but at the same time, of course, there is a lot of ammunition. there is a large reserve that we keep at the expense of assault actions there, the enemies have some ammunition, but they must be in large quantities, this is a war and the war requires a large amount of ammunition, i will then ask about money and maser, material support is provided certain uh things uh centrally let's say yes , in order to complete this necessary equipment for servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine, something has to be purchased by oneself or something has to be bought simply better than what is provided, but the most important thing is of course financial support because it is important for the soldiers themselves and of course for them and their families who are now in the rear or, well, in one word , they need this money. there have been certain changes in the calculation of these payments. is it already the beginning of march? are these changes already? have these changes already come into effect, have you felt

them? and does this information about the change have any effect at all ? does it affect the motivation of the military ? edges which they are fighting on zero, these changes did not affect the negative plan at all, they only raised the financial support, the salary itself, and the bonuses they received, and the fact that they removed some military personnel who were not at all at the front, but their direct the duty to fight. well, they received a bonus or the same cadets or conscripts, we were there . we were joking there. my service is very fair. i think that it brought some clarity . but even more so, ukraine today has huge debts that are actually growing. in fact, the ukrainian economy

today is largely fed by our western partners. well, it is good that nothing has changed on the front line and the payments are coming on time. i will also ask about the weather conditions for waiting for spring. it is clear that march is usually like this in winter . it is spring and anything can happen at this time. will be and the soil will be dry, it will be possible to talk about some or other actions or , in case of a change, about a change in tactics, it is possible, it is possible, what is the current weather situation, how much does it affect positively or negatively on the course of hostilities, well , the swamp, you know, it is very difficult to use equipment with bc and everything else depends on e -e roads are paved with asphalt and it is very important to have such roads , i thank you very much , sir. i learned more about the situation there from the northern part of ukraine, and let's talk with

dmytro kyrilshchik, deputy of the zaporozhye city council, mr. dmytriov. i congratulate you. good evening , i'm glad to see and hear you. attack on a residential building in zaporizhzhia, and today they continued. as far as i understand, rescue operations are possible. more information about that and about the results of these rescue and search operations, please. yes , mr. vasyl. unfortunately, today was added to that we already have information. yes, there is confirmation that there are indeed four bodies of dead people who were unblocked exactly with this one of the affected house , and at the same time, the information that was heard there about the fifth person who died, unfortunately, this information already has some confirmation, because there is more fragments of bodies were removed there, identification continues operational rescue measures are also

continuing at the moment therefore information that needs to be clarified and we hope that this list will remain there eh but at the same time, take into account the moment that currently, there are also missing people whose search is currently ongoing, and this is against the background of the fact that only from the positive, what could be noted there? yes, that has already been recorded in many mass media. what was saved today was a dog. yes, and five cats, which were handed over . volunteers, this is already positive, what can be said? at the same time, i would also like to note that i am currently in the session hall of the zaporozhye city council , the extraordinary session and voting of deputies has just ended. this building that suffered was already included in the list of buildings that there will be, after all, the inhabitants of this city supported

it first, and roughly speaking, the process of restoring this building has already been launched , that is, this building can still be restored in principle. now, well, just see. this means that the procedure will be launched before this, and it is largely preceded by an examination that determines what will happen to these houses . it was already talked about suffering as a result of all the fascist aggression and, of course, residential buildings in the city. this building has already been added simply to the list of these households that will make decisions and help people who have suffered as a result of these terrible actions of damned money . there were explosions under melitopol in the morning, is it possible to have more information that this time

there was a victim in the enemy, they continued their activities and this can be interpreted, you know, as a certain one already there. all the actions that prompted them there, in particular, to appeal to the elderly quarters of the city of zaporizhzhia, this is what preceded that there were already flights arriving at the airfield, and also today at a certain location, the location of uh , it was a bunch of accumulated equipment that worked a lot today, but the data is still eh on the big account, i will clarify, so you know the specifics . unfortunately, i will not add anything to this matter now. well , shelling of the pologh vasylkivskyi district also took place today. is it possible to have more information? well, you have heard about these consequences of course, this actually happens. almost every day there is shelling of the territory, but what happened there today. please, the only thing that is traditional is that vasyl was told that he should attack in order to avoid these hits. yes, so to speak

, to minimize for himself there for his minusing , this is manual and not to get into the er-e into the building of the general staff. yes, the number of these people is constantly increasing. they are just trying to settle there , to cover themselves with the local population, that is , to settle in residential quarters, but their participation later passes and when i bear this let's see about these flights that it was here that it was mentioned that the military equipment in rashistiv was affected . i thank you very much for that . communication about e.e. the latest information about e.e. search and rescue operations at the site of a rocket hitting a residential building in the city of zaporizhzhia, unfortunately , people died, we managed to save people and even cats and a dog when we understand

that the enemy continues to behave dishonestly a terrorist probably terrorists are not honest, but these are also dishonest, hideous terrorists, yes, literally in a minute, the military summaries of the day by serhiy zgurtsem, wait for it, cinema, television , sports, music, education, free people have a choice, choose what you want on megogo, mykola veresen, vitaliy portnikov and the main topics of the week, if against ukraine will be used god forbid really tactical nuclear weapons it will definitely change the world stories of problems analysis and personalities we are waiting for john gerbs is the former ambassador of the united states to ukraine thanks for

invitation, you have questions, you will get answers that friday at 21:30 at espresso, that's the time for the military results of the day with me at the map of hostilities and my colleague serhiy zgurets, director of the agency for fentsyakh specialists serhii congratulations, i congratulate you vasyl, i congratulate our viewers today we will sum up the results what happened on the front line during the week and what will happen in the next week, more about that in a moment. well, we start with the chaos, of course, in the chaos , every day it becomes more and more difficult to arm the armed forces of ukraine. last week, we discussed what will happen when the enemy cuts off the supply routes, now, by the way, we will see in detail how much closer the occupiers have become to the realization of their cherished maniacal dream of capturing bakhmut. obviously, their dream is not only to capture bakhmut. obviously, they have a dream to surround themselves with the forces and means that are currently there well, in fact , the situation around this city remains

a mess. i think that this word does not reflect what our defenders really do not feel, and bakhmut continues to get elected. and actually now it is such a telling thing that today a team came to bakhmut again, accompanied by alexander the syrian, who is responsible for the defense of this direction. he held a meeting there and determined the solution to the current problems. i will remind you earlier that a decision was made to strengthen the reserves in this direction, so that in any for now, there is no reason to say that the ukrainian army is going to leave bakhmut. although, as we can see , the situation is quite complicated because the enemy is trying to advance from the south, from the north, and from east, and actually when we talk about the north, the situation is the most difficult because the enemy is trying to move towards chrome after he managed to capture the berry and the top, and this movement to chrome is precisely connected with

cutting one of the supply lines that supplies bakhmut to all necessary, and yesterday it became known that one of the bridges was destroyed by enemy artillery, which is precisely located on the highway at 5:06, as well as the one that leads to chromovo, but according to our information, this did not actually cause any such fundamental consequences. detours around this destruction and provision of bakhmut continues and our defenders maintain a defensive position along the entire perimeter, although when we talk about the east, where hostilities continue in the city , our defenders also blew up one of the bridges over the bakhmutka river in order to complicate advance in the brothers, and earlier i will remind you that in the south, a dam was blown up at one of the reservoirs, which, in principle, significantly speeds

up the enemy's advance, so that, in any case , now our defenders continue to be held back the actions of the enemy in the north in the east and when we talk about the south , counterattacks are even taking place there because we saw an interesting video where our e-e units e-e provide, while supporting the tank, the deployment of m113 eyebrows from which our fighters come out and carry out a counteroffensive just in time in the zone of ivanivsk, pushing back the enemy, who is also trying to enter another route between kostyantynivka and bakhmut, so that in any case, despite all the difficult situations, the possibility of holding bakhmut remains, which is actually repeated, and the arrival of the team here proves by the ground forces well, like you, i constantly examine the map of the dibstate and a few days ago, perhaps at least this week

, it was definitely visible that the thief almost approached ivanivsk. affects our defenders precisely in this direction well, here a little, well, it also changed during the week back and forth, but we see now, in principle, the situation threatened the thread, as it appeared in relation to the time after, but we understand that the weapon is catastrophic let's say the armed forces perform their functions on this part of the front, firstly, they exhaust the enemy's troops and force them to use the enemy's unlimited reserves, they hold the line of defense so that it does not crumble, and thirdly , they create conditions for the improvement of the arrangement of another line of defense, which is already a mess, all these three components of the armed forces are currently being carried out. and actually , the reserves that would come to this section

of the front also help to solve one of these functions that is currently being solved by the armed forces, so that in any case the question of receiving bahmut most likely remains a military question because we understand whether we hold this section of the front or have the capabilities for this or we move to another position and again after all, we have to get involved in the same format of hostilities that take place behind and around bahmut, the only issue is actually more ammunition, because this is the only factor that i hear very often when i talk to our military on the line, they tell us we need more large-caliber mortars and other means of impact , right now we are seeing how the counter-

offensive actions of the ukrainian army are taking place. actions, we see the coordinated nature of the actions of our military, and actually this is the fact that, according to criticism, there is constant combat tension, actually on the battlefield , we see how coordinated our military acts. let's look at the higher and lower areas, but oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the security council, said that today if we spend in this direction in the bakhmut direction, the losses of the armed forces of ukraine in relation to the losses of the enemy are about one to seven, that is, if our fighters are killed according to the seven enemies, yes, but i wanted ours not to die at all, but we understand that it is precisely here that we are distracting and destroying now, well, a sufficiently combat-capable unit of the russian army, because when even the wagnerites were transferred here you wagners, these are the most elite, who are the most prepared for conducting hostilities in the city, but in any case, i repeat the situation

in the north, south and east is quite difficult and , in these few days, the dynamics have not changed significantly, because when we talk about what the enemy is trying to do to surround the city why do they say that these ticks that go from the south there in the zone there to the ivanivka tick and through ivanivske or this is a tick from the north when they are afraid of the berry fruit on the bogdanivka the area around bakhmutova, which is not closed, is about 5 km, and actually the enemy cannot further compress this distance, because our defensive actions with the use of artillery are quite effective there, but i will repeat that we need more artillery and more shells because this is precisely the main safeguard against the advance of the enemy, so we are now taking a wider look at this section of the front in donetsk region, is there a threat of a breakthrough by the occupiers somewhere separate from those national points that

you mentioned, for example, at kostiantynivka or at siversk well, in fact, these are different directions that are connected with the enemy's attempt to expand the front line, but this is absolutely a theory, because now, in fact, in the area there about 20 km, if we are talking about bakhmut, the main forces and efforts of the enemy are concentrated there in other directions, they are actually limited to the potential that is currently directed at the encirclement or capture of bakhmut, the situation around there with eh, the same eh from seversk, which is a component of the line there, all the versalidar bakhmut or there, the situation around kostyantynivka, they are derived from the fact that this is what is happening around bahmut. and i think that as long as bahmut remains tight, let's say this, the river is chrome and the bahmut is provided for the city. i think that other directions look much more illusory for the enemy from the point of view of intensifying hostilities, very well. by the way, our partners

it is better to understand i mean now not about the politicians or military experts there even for the average viewers from the united states of america or at least now i will talk about the viewers from the united states america, because the military there on their television, in their press, and the americans write about the fact that bakhmut is such a ukrainian and a driver, that is, it is a place where a huge number of people die, where there are very fierce battles and according to the level of tension according to the level of injuries and deaths of fighters from one of the other measures, of course, from the russian side, it resembles bitumen, let's summarize well, because the americans are so clear that, just as we say in german , it is more clear to someone when talking about the bloodiest battles of the first world war, and it is clearer to the russians when they talk about stalingrad. therefore, it is very important that bakhmut is held, of course, at an extremely high cost, now with an extremely high blood pressure, but in any case, it shows our partners the scale , intensity and price of this war, but this is a tactical city, let's say, it's not a strategic

place, it's just tactical a city where, relatively speaking, today he was reading an essay by a general who was the commander of the us forces in europe. he said that in six months , the russians, the second army of the world, managed to surround bakhmut, and don’t tell me, he says that ukraine will not hold on any longer. and no tell me how long this war will last, the ukrainians themselves know how to wage it. and here i have a brief look at this essay. you are here . this just says that the military actually clearly understands, on the one hand, the importance of this city, that on the one hand, it is not only tactically important but it demonstrates the capabilities of the ukrainian army to contain the enemy even in such areas of the front where the enemy is trying to turn tactical successes into a strategic victory, but this is not happening . well, indeed, bakhmut, at least for the enemy, is definitely with such a definite and biological war, the beauty already said today that he took bakhmut, or did he really write down somewhere from another place from a tick there kilometers two from bakhmut because this city has already been verified where he

stands and he says volodymyr oleksandrovich type, let the city be a garden in fact, there is only er, what should be said there, that only children are there, er , if bakhmut - today, it is a place of stability of the ukrainian spirit and er, a very complex bloody war on the part of the russian federation, then ugledar, at least in recent times, has become shame on the city well, not so shame on the very soldiers who are actually being sent under fire and shame on the russian generals who in principle are waging war, well, it is not known what kind of war it was and it is not known when such wars were fought under blagador , recently one of the largest tank offensives has ended, again this is not tank battles, we talked about this with you, it is not a tank, because there were no tanks on our side, there were many of them there at all, but on the russian side, the russians had more than a hundred tanks, it ended with a great defeat of the army of the aggressor. what is happening in this direction now, is it expected to be quiet there for a certain time. unfortunately, i do not expect it. i think that literally there from the fourth to

the fifth of the sixth, the enemy will again activate actions near the coal mine because it is fundamentally important for them from the point of view besides, there are a number of explanations there and it is necessary to provide this and the road with security in the volnovakha zone and to somehow push our units back because the distance from vugledar is actually quite short there to mariupol and melitopol there is 80 km, in fact, they are trying now at least in some way to protect myself, i think that now these brigades, which brigade was defeated there, now it has gone to uh, yes, they are now taken to uh recovery, now an assault battalion of 200 people is being formed at the base of this brigade, new units are being added , reserves are being accumulated, and i think that we are this show with the destruction of practical russian tanks and literally in a week we will see them again under the microscope, they will not leave this city because the straight ones are not flexible and

actually we will use this in order to the battle that yordansk wrote about became even more large-scale in terms of the number of losses of russian armored vehicles, here, by the way, we see a video of how these armored vehicles are blown up by mines, and by the way, we place mines at the expense of artillery, these are german mines, which, in principle, can be placed very accurately on any part of the f-front and the enemy won't even know where it appeared, although everything is very densely mined there anyway, i see a video this week too when the ukrainian tank leaves and how do you know this tank biathlon will he start to shoot russian bmp-3 bmp-3 as far as i understand the conditions were about them and they just stand there, are they going or did they brake and the tank will shoot these bmps one by one by the way , the explosions of individual vehicles are obviously very bright , the ammunition was detonated there, so well, that’s how they fight, so the russians are fighting under the ugledar, and if we talk about avdiyivka. now we

will see the enemy in the house of avdiyivka, from avdiivka maryanka, two more directions where the enemy is trying to advance. avdiivka they are trying to sharpen exactly like bakhmut - bakhmut using this tactic of coverage, but there is no success there, and we can say that this whole offensive is about the russians, which is already underway. in all areas actually rested on our line of defense and the most critical looks except for one on bakhmut. in other directions we are completely restraining the enemy. although i can predict that in the next two or three weeks the enemy will use all reserves on all these directions and we will see more intensive actions in all these five directions where now the enemy is trying to carry out offensive actions

well, speaking of ending the conversation about the daughters of the daughters, now the enemy is actively looking for places in mariupol, this is the last message that i read just before the elections, the enemy is looking for places in mariupol, where could you hide your projectiles? because the points where the e-locations where these projectiles were were identified and destroyed by the armed forces of ukraine. well, it is very good that people also work in mariupol which er were either sent there or simply in some way transferred to the enemy and people on the ground and the effective work of intelligence, space intelligence, because the actual knowledge of where these stocks are located or gaps and then they are destroyed is what actually bleeds any potential of the russian army to carry out there are defensive actions and offensive actions with the use of artillery, this was also well demonstrated when we pushed the enemy out of the right bank of the dnipro river and liberated the kherson
