youtube or on facebook, so more people can to see our territory, we start from bakhmut, the point of the front, where the fiercest battles have been going on for months, today it became known that one of the units of the armed forces of ukraine is being withdrawn from the city, it is about the tactical group of aerial reconnaissance birds to the magyars , the commander of the group, robert brovdi himself , wrote to the magyars about this in his telegram channel let's see today, the second of march, in the middle of the night, the unit of the magyar birds received a combat order to immediately move out of bakhmut to a new place of hostilities, what are the reasons for the transfer at a critical moment for bakhmutu, when we spent 110 days of combat duty here, i am first of all a military man, and therefore i will not comment on the orders of the defense command bakhmutu, in this appeal, the military man

also assured in pseudo-magyar that the 50 units for which he promised to deliver drones will receive them regardless of where the birds themselves will be magyars, but what about the other units that, according to the official information of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, continue to hold the defense of bakhmut, earlier we talked about the fact that the city is under threat of encirclement by russian forces and, above all, militants of the wagner pvk group at least it is their leader, prigozhyn, who most often publicly comments on the next city, and media resources associated with the group declare their own promotion. so today , prigozhyn recorded a video with an address to the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, where he stated that bakhmut is practically surrounded and that the zsu unit supposedly has the last chance to leave the city unfortunately, we cannot independently verify this information, according to unconfirmed data from bakhmut, there could only be one road left to support

the ukrainian troops, and it runs through the village chrome, today a photo of a blown-up bridge in this very village appeared on the internet, according to russian military analyst ruslan liviev, this may mean that the armed forces of ukraine came out of the mud and blew up this bridge. in bakhmut, in the telegram channel of the ground forces , the bolt today posted a photo showing the commander of the eastern group of troops , oleksandr syrskyi, is in bakhmut, where he allegedly works in units that lead the defense of bakhmut, according to the armed forces of ukraine, intense fighting is taking place in the city and to this day, according to analysts at the american institute for the study of war, the offensive tactics of the russian forces in the offensive on bakhmut could have changed. it seems that russian troops have temporarily reduced their efforts to surround bakhmut from both the southwest and the northeast and instead may be focusing on pressuring the ukrainian forces to withdraw from the city focusing on

the northeast offensive about what is actually happening right now in bakhmut is there the possibility of further supplying ammunition to this city and is it possible to get out of the landslide, let's talk about it further with us zoryan shkiryak, adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine 2014-2021, who is often in bakhmut there is a photo of an allegedly destroyed bridge in the village of chromovo, and already some analysts are saying that it probably means that the troops of the armed forces of ukraine have lost the last way out . maybe you can clarify what happened to this bridge. with your permission, i will briefly give a-a information about what is currently happening in bakhmut , since i am really in touch every day with my friends and brothers who today

continue to defend this heroic city and as you saw and already said in your newsletter , literally these days in alexander the syrian, the commander of the ground forces, was directly in the city. and i think this is a good signal for those who somehow begin to doubt what is actually happening there . it is simply less, and not at all, to accept any information that comes from the mouth of this bastard putin’s sycophant, who today once again launched another fake by filming himself on the roof of one of the buildings of the village of paraskoviivka and pretending to

be in bakhmuti really refuted the fact that he is allegedly staying there, yes, yes, this is a pure fake, which is directly aimed at this, you know , created some negative moods and so on. and by the way, this city also connects me with a certain history, since i know it well, or from the time of the anti-terrorist operation in 14-15 years after the exit from debaltsevo, so it can be said that this city is not a stranger to me. the last time i i was there on january 17th and 18th, and there are undoubtedly many of my friends and fellow colleagues there who continue to defend this heroic city even now, including

all the units of the armed forces of ukraine , the national guard, special operations officers of the national police, and today there really is a hellish situation, a hellish situation, but it still remains under control , so ah, in my deep conviction, first of all, you should listen to uh, only official sources of information, which are, first of all, the general staff of ukraine, you know. i trust the military command and, believe me, if a decision is made to withdraw from bakhmut and such a decision will be, let's say, conditioned by the relevant situation, you and i will definitely

find out about it, it can be clarified then see what you know that you can tell what you may have heard from those people with whom you keep in touch, what is the situation with the supply. and that is, let's actually talk about this too, because we see that certain forces in the infospace are really trying to talk about the fact that this is a problem for the armed forces of ukraine, what is possible, you know of course what can be said. and i will say very simply from what i know. our forces are equipped with everything necessary to destroy the enemy, and there are definitely problems with one road and another well, first of all, we are talking about constantine and the slavic slavic e-e direction and it's true there are problems there, but the military leadership found the possibility

of supplying everything necessary for those units that are currently in bakhmut and courageously defending the heroic city. by the way, i want to tell you that ah no this is not only my assessment, but actually the assessment of many world-class military analysts. the battle of bakhmut has already entered the analogues of the military history of the 21st century because everything that is happening there during the past six or seven months and the insane amount of destroyed enemy forces and equipment is undeniably impressive today. in fact, the city of bakhmut hid all the main forces of the russian-fascist invaders in

the donetsk direction, and this is the blow that our heroic defenders are inflicting today. the enemy is absolutely merciless. yesterday oleksiy danilov, the secretary of the national security and defense council, announced the number of approximately seven to one losses in favor of ukraine. i also believe that it is somewhere similar to seven eight. enemies, probably on the life of one of our heroes. unfortunately, we also have losses, because we clearly see and understand that the city, which is basically everything that stands in the way of the invaders, is actually being destroyed, erased from the face of the earth, and this is a serious problem that is, today i talked

with my friends who are currently in bakhmut, and in fact, the situation is happening 24/7, they are talking nonsense. and in fact, those military men who also often appear on our air, they confirm your words. let's talk about what the military said today, he wrote to the magyars that allegedly his unit , his tactical a-a group of aerial reconnaissance are leaving the city, how can this affect the defense of bakhmut, when one unit leaves, it must be replaced by another that performs the same functions, this decision is taken by the military leadership and robert, whom i know well in let's say it in peaceful life, unfortunately, it was not possible to cross paths with him already during the e-e war, but they fulfilled probably according to the decision

of the commanders, did they fulfill their function and they were transferred to another uh-uh uh-uh section uh-uh to another area of ​​uh-fighting actions because of this in no case do you know uh-uh there is no need to look for some kind of conspiracy and so on and so on and if i am talking about the possibilities really aerial reconnaissance, that is, i correctly understood that despite the fact that this particular unit is withdrawn, and the reconnaissance capabilities should not decrease , the aerial reconnaissance is there, our aerial reconnaissance works perfectly, our reconnaissance continues to correct fire on enemy forces , and therefore i emphasize again and again that in this situation, we must listen exclusively official sources and in particular, because what is happening in bakhmut is the general headquarters of ukraine. if you have read and seen their last summary, i think that everything is clearly

written there. and this is confirmed to me by my friends and our defenders who are there, that all the attacks of the enemy er, for tonight it was reflected that the situation is really hellish because it is happening both on the outskirts of the city and in the very place, but today there is a daily feat of our defenders and defenders , and every day we inflict simply catastrophic losses on the enemy, because if brothers, you mentioned that about the wagners, if we take only their groupings, then during the battles in the area of ​​soledar and bakhmut, they already lost more than 40 thousands of their rashish wealth. that is, we can imagine add to

this and all their boastful landing force, all their motorized units and everything that they drove there. that is, it is really, really , you know, this is the battle of the century, you know , it can be compared and it can be compared to mariupol in some way because there is so our heroic defenders themselves hid a huge one the number of enemy forces, which in turn made it possible within ukraine in the rear to continue to form reserve units , which will definitely be put into battle in the near future by the decision of the command, and we will continue the liberation of our holy land from the dirty boot of the russian fascist

, including donbass and luhansk region and definitely the zaporizhzhia region and ah kherson region, the left bank and the crimea, mr. shkiryak, after all , taking into account the fact that the battle for the bakhmut is indeed what the ukrainian authorities and partners of ukraine, in particular, and mark mili, say about it. and what is this such a battle of attrition is being carried out here, an important task for the armed forces of ukraine is precisely to exhaust the enemy, but this is also confirmed by the ukrainian authorities and the general staff that russian forces are still trying to surround this city and, based on open data, there are reasons to think that well, this is the ring is supposed to be true in recent weeks it is getting stronger so how big is the threat of this environment and well in general i would like to ask how do you see a-ah to what scenarios what scenarios do you see the end of the battle for bakhmut so what can be done would be to prepare well, first of all, we should be ready for any scenarios because this is a war, and in a war, war consists not only

of victories, uh, war also probably consists of things that are unpleasant to hear, but you need to treat it with a cold mind and understanding of the situation, you know that once the enemy captured kherson, no one thought that we would return there someday, the enemy previously captured lysychansk and severodonetsk, and you remember our boys there with chalk on a blackboard in one of the schools, which was broken became the occupiers, we will definitely return and we will definitely return to all these cities, as for bahmut, as i already said, the city continues to fight heroically, and even if the command of the armed forces of ukraine makes a decision, let's say the situation

will look like this, for the sake of preservation the lives of our soldiers will have to leave , so there is nothing shameful in this, you know, it happens, and as i said , this is a war, so you always need to pay attention to those things that happen directly on the battlefield, and for now the city of bakhmut stands yes unconditionally, the situation is not easy, you were just showing the map there, the enemy from the north and the south came close enough and is trying to surround the city, but so far , it is not even about an operational encirclement , so let's still trust our soldiers , trust our military command and

with understanding and undeniably er with a cold mind to make any decisions that may be made , here er, i am exclusively talking about your own question and if be understanding or understandable. and for now, oleksandr, the city really continues to stand - it's really, well, something incredible. once upon a time, we and the history and our ancestors will know, and our children and grandchildren will know about it as a huge such -th century of this russian-ukrainian war, which along with the defenders, along with the protection of the much-suffering mariupol, severodonetsk , lysychansk border, i can certainly

list here, why go far, kyiv , irpen buchi, kharkiv, and so on, and so on , chernihiv sum -e will stand at the same level as a city that is really a city of heroes, a city of fortresses, and everyone i want to emphasize this also everyone who is in bakhmut today, everyone who is a defender of this ukrainian city of fortresses is a hero thank you i hope that a- and bakhmut you stand and the most important thing is that the enemy will lose and lose they will die there like lousy sheep on our ukrainian land and in particular in

the direction of bakhmut. discussed there told zoryan shkiryak, adviser to the minister of internal affairs of ukraine for 2014-2021, from the march fund for good deeds, five civilians were evacuated from the shelling of russian troops from the town of chasov yar what by the way , people near bakhmut say that in recent days the shelling has intensified or ammunition is hitting residential buildings more often houses, however, there are also residents who refuse free evacuation . the ravine itself is located 15 km from bakhmut . let's see how this

evacuation is happening. i see it here. i took a diagnosis here. i made a profile and did everything. where should i go now? and now this place was built. everything was built. only the little one is there, not the store. my son died. it wasn’t the bee that happened here . mother has nowhere to go. i have a job here . for the communal owner , the communal household works, so we have enough work, there are 100, and when you already understand that you have to leave, in general, it works completely when the company closes, when we will be blocked, and so i will have the main

semyon to leave and they all decided to go, too. well, because my child needs to study, i need to go. well, there is no school here , everything is broken on the internet, there is no way she will learn anything, the child needs to be taught , why are you staying here, can you explain? well, what

i don’t want from here, apartment, home, i left. i'm waiting for you. how do you feel? will you return home? did you live? everything will be fine. do you know where you're going. where will you live? when you're tired of the double , you're already tired

. how much do you have here? i have a garage. i have two cellars, three mushrooms apiece. i have enough food to eat. where will i go? who needs me? they gave me 2005 and 2.5. i have worked on a bus all my life. and what do you think, will the russian troops be able to enter here? no well, whatever god gives, we don’t know who who breathes. what do people breathe and these people shoot? there was no such thing. and if there is a russian occupation, how will you live here , tarik ? i'm needed, i'm dying , many people have already left, but all the same there remain people whom we come for when they leave to drive in for evacuation, there are people who are already arranged, they are already going with some purpose, that is, they are transferring to a train

, they are met there who have no one to meet , of course, we arrange them in temporary shelters for displaced people, we take a risk, but the realization that we save or eat life gives us strength that's why we go every such flight is it a life saved ukraine will change the strategy of deoccupation of crimea this was stated by the secretary of the nsdc oleksiy danilov in his words the state strategy that was approved in 2021 is now outdated, political and diplomatic methods are not a priority option , instead, the nsdc may vote for the strategy to focus primarily on the military method of returning crimea, danilov hinted at helping the armed forces of ukraine liberate the peninsula, partisans who

are probably in crimea and already are preparing for de-occupation, yesterday a video appeal of armed men who called themselves the atesh military movement appeared on the internet, they said that they had caches of weapons and explosives and they are waiting for the armed forces of ukraine to help capture administrative buildings and mine railways. radio liberty cannot confirm the authenticity of this video and the statements on it, but oleksiy danilov indirectly confirmed that there are allegedly people in crimea who will help the armed forces of ukraine liberate the crimean peninsula - this is the territory of our country, a huge number citizens who are currently in temporarily occupied crimea, they will help, they will be happy because our armed forces will soon be in this territory on our of the sovereign territory of our country called ukraine, well, we will talk about exactly how the alleged liberation of crimea

will take place, we will be in touch with rifat chubar, the head of the forest of the crimean tatar people . good evening. unfortunately, i can't hear you. good evening. let's start with the strategy of deoccupation of crimea , which mr. danilov is talking about. and what do you know about the possible corrections that may be made to this document? well, it is clear that the last year of the war , which has been going on for 9 years, is actually in us demands the introduction of such drastic changes to the strategy well, at least in particular in the part where it was indicated that the liberation of crimea will take place mainly through politically diplomatic such forms of a full-scale full-scale invasion

of the territory of ukraine by russian troops and the course of the war shows that views on the liberation of crimea have changed not only in ukrainian society, but also very importantly among our partners who have united around ukraine if at the first founding institutions what precisely those crimean platforms were talking about the fact that the liberation of crimea will be reflected in the peace dialogue with russia, such a sentence was in the declaration that was signed by the participants of the crimean platform and because it was a demand of some of our partners. now it is already on the second e- e meeting of the crimean platform on august 23, 2022, all without exception of
