[000:00:00;00] the difference from the cities that were occupied. i mean liman, i had to visit that week and you know it is a fruitful difference from what we have and those cities that were under the russians, after all, we still have business, we have public services everything that remains after the russian invasion is not even such an invasion, but a russian robbery - this is simply horror. i think that 40 years of the last century are nothing compared to what the russians are doing now, entering and even more so leaving the cities that is why we pray for our armed forces to be strong. we believe that

bakhmut stands first. we know the situation in bakhmut very well, not only from the depstate map. and violence, don't give up, hold on, the local population completely, how does language help the armed forces? can it help the armed forces ? to the local population that is suffering, they share food, water and everything they can, that is, we have full understanding now and full support for each other, well, it is clear that the military and someone is leaving bahmut, maybe somewhere on a rotation or there for treatment or whatever they also come through druzhkivka, uh, i’m also for it. by the way, the work you do. how do you do the local population , if you can, very briefly, eh, what does druzhkivka need, maybe they hear us, well, it’s impossible, they definitely hear us, and maybe there can be some

help from our foreign partners volunteers instead of volunteers, it is important to voice some such things that can really be delivered and really help , please. well, i want to say that food and medicine are more or less not provided, you know. in my opinion , the biggest need now is ordinary osb sheets because , uh, houses suffer from constant shelling of rockets knocks out errors knocks out doors because it knocks out windows and this is simply not enough physically for the administration, the military provides it, but it is needed so much to make it seem like it is a normal thing there is a sheet of fiberboard you won't be able to get a sheet of fiberboard, chipboard or osb. well, you understand why. if there is an opportunity for someone to help, there is an opportunity to send trucks here with this extremely important commodity for us . of course, the administration of the civilian population will be grateful to anyone.

thank you very much for this help, mykola. i hope you heard us and you need help . mykola dovbnya, a member of the druzhki city council, these are the letters he was talking about. the opportunity is to help all those who are in need, who has it more, who has less , but these people are definitely a few kilometers from the front line and their situation is very difficult roman vlasenko head of the severo-donetsk district military administration panoramana i congratulate you good evening glad to see and hear glory to ukraine i already want to ask you what is changing or not. nothing has changed recently in occupied severodonetsk and in the community. spring is coming. i think that life absolutely somehow has to change, things don't always happen as they are, but the question is whether it's getting worse or at least stable, please, it's getting a little warmer and the winter that was there a couple of weeks ago is gone

, it's possible the only plus is that the real situation is only getting worse, prices are rising, passporting, mobilization is going on ... e new benefits and problems are not added, only new restrictions from new information are about closed closed closed cities again exits only according to documents, documents need to be issued russian passports and how closed you say about passportization , that is, they are all local residents already here i i don't know if the local residents there had, by the way, i think that they did not have passports of the so-called dnr because the minister was already occupied during this great war, before that it was under the control of the ukrainian state, so there were probably no passports of the dnr there, that is, people had ukrainian passport lpr yes lpr yes, sorry lpr it’s really, well, it’s luhansk oblast , that’s already the case for them, passporting is a reason for

further mobilization for greater integration of the population e into the russian federation and they are looking for e-e favorite devices and create special additional restrictions in order to force local people to get a passport, that is, they are actually afraid, i also read about what is happening in the occupied territory, which is called by the russians of the so-called dpr, and well, it is so clear that in luhansk region, too, exactly when passports already, as they say no these passports are circulating, they no longer mean anything , the passports of the so-called elements of the dnr, which used to be printed and distributed there, uh, with balls and an orchestra, this all happened, but now they are trying to hand over the passports of the russian federations, that is, the question is that, as i understand it, both in the old occupied territories and in the new occupied territories, that is, all of these fake entities, if they exist, they are probably only in someone in the heads, please, so perfectly conducted to date well, according to them conditionally according to the legislation of the dpr, the lpr are

subjects of the russian federation, all residents must have passports directly from the russian federation. i would like to ask what kind of work is being carried out by the occupying authorities. implements, so to speak, these powerful powers. well, let's call them that, what it really is and everyone understands it so well, but who is there who implements these powerful powers, and in general, what kind of work is being done in relation to the locals, because once again, i will remind you once again about the city of mariupol, a terribly destroyed city the enemy is where you know now against the background of the destroyed high-rise buildings in which , by the way, somewhere i think that people remain in the basements, the bodies of the dead people, they show all their three-story doll houses, they are very beautiful and if you remove them from below, it looks as if beauty is everywhere in mariupol. and if you take it down from the mountain, you can clearly see the destroyed city further on, and in the background of this destroyed city there are such doll houses as if some beauty has come, but in severodonetsk there are at least some such works

going on there or not there at all no money, no materials, no, these construction crews don’t come and don’t stop by, please. well, i think that today severodonetsk does not have such a static value for the occupation authorities as mariupol, and besides , among the people, it is closer to the line hostilities, so funding here is quite limited and any restoration concerns only not very destroyed housing , and somewhere they exchange windows, somewhere they put in doors, and they cover a few houses, where the destruction is quite large, and they are still standing, and they are not restored sugarcane and so on, they restored the heating there a little bit, well, the heating just didn't make electricity, water, gas , er, there was no serious construction , er, money, as i understand it, there is actually no er, there is

information about the debt public utility companies have information that kindergartens in general in the occupied territories do not have food, they eat at the parents' expense, that's why i say that i have not seen any improvements, i still want to make it clear that severodonetsk is definitely not the front line right now, because it is happening er to the west of the er of the city much west of the city but is this city used by the enemy as there to place their forces and means as certain bases is this city now living life under occupation well, normal life even though it is under occupation and there is there are no troop movements, accumulation of equipment , or anything like that, please. well, i would say that this city is still on the line of contact, because i think that even a powerful barrel artillery can finish off north donetsk. i am not talking about hradi

in this context, it's not mariupol , but severodonetsk and vysochanskyi rubizhne are also used by local collaborators and russian troops . how do you find bases? all the cities of the north donetsk region are bases of the troops of the russian federation. well, i will say the last two questions in one. and you will answer one and the others so briefly. is it possible to get in touch with the people who are there under occupation? well, i understand that you can't do it in touch, but there are friends, relatives, relatives, who left and who stayed, and is it still possible for people to leave there? is it only on the territory of russia, or are there any ways to leave? anyone who wants to leave on the territory of the controlled ukrainian state , please go directly through the line collision it is impossible to drive only through the russian federation and further through the borders

with european countries. and this is official information about e-e communication , there is no e-e mobile internet in most of the territory , people need to drive up to e-e to get in touch it is close to novopskov, almost to the borders with the russian federation, or deep in the rear of the old occupied territories . i thank you very much for joining us for your comments. roman vlasenko was with us. the head of the severodonetsk district military administration, yes, actually. now i will speak once more. let's start with serhiy zgurts, i will explain for those who missed something today , did not know, did not hear why today is even more special, i think all ukrainians around the world will say the phrase glory to ukraine, understanding that these are not just words. it is true much more than words, these are the words by which we will learn the name of this hero. i think later he was ready

to give his life, he gave it of course , the russians killed him not because he said glory to ukraine, no matter how they killed him, but he said these words before by death i think that for the whole world to the whole world they resounded loudly today and this is what it will be clear later that russia wanted to show as the humiliation of ukraine for sure or its superiority in some way it appeared as a tragedy and as heroism and as a story that will be worthy of being in our the world serhiy zagorets with us director of the agency defect express presenter of the column military summaries of the day serhii congratulations i congratulate you vasyl i congratulate our viewers and i want to hear what you will say about this surgical and tragic story that the whole network is discussing for me i think we will to speak in the world about the death of a ukrainian warrior, a hero, please, well, here i rather have an emotional perception because we saw a brave hero with his contempt for enemies who met his death so calmly after the words glory to ukraine, of course he knew what

would happen next after these words and actually well, as far as i’m concerned, it was his last line of defense that he, this warrior, defended, and now the whole world will see exactly what the essence of the russian army is, the essence of russian aggression there and of russian genocide against ukrainian of the people and actually, well, the world saw that ukrainians are becoming with such strength of spirit and simply , well , it is impossible to win. perceive and further when we talk about what will be in the military program, we will really talk about the situation around bakhmut - this is our best point and about what the ukrainians are doing , how they are creating new models of weapons, about it

literally in a moment so about bakhmut about our the hottest point on the front line today, on march 6, president volodymyr zelenskyy held another meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, at which the situation around bakhmut was discussed. it was reported that while assessing the course of the defense operation, the president asked the commander-in-chief of the armed forces valery zaluzny and the commander of the operational-strategic group of troops khortyts oleksandr syrsky about the issue regarding further actions in the bakhmut direction, and in response the generals spoke in favor of continuation defense operation and the further strengthening of our positions in bakhmut, this is what the press service of the president reported. and before this battle on march 5, colonel- general oleksandr syrskyi, who is responsible for the defense of this direction , was in bakhmut again and then declared that the battles in this place reached the highest tension, our warriors are brave to defend the position of bakhmut

, trying to prevent the encirclement of the city , the ministry of defense has already announced this. therefore, such statements were made today by the political and military leadership of ukraine regarding of the city of bakhmut so let's continue to delve into the details of this situation together, and now we have a military expert , colonel zaphak, and serhii grabsky, mr. colonel, on the phone. i welcome you to the broadcast of the espresso channel . my greetings, jars of video. good evening . there is at least its public part, it is about the continuation of the defensive operation and the strengthening of our positions in bakhmut, as evidenced by this decision, because some of the experts are there, and i am there, including you, who almost believed that bakhmut is a security the operation actually fulfilled its mission, but we see that there is a continuation

, so i would like to hear what conclusions should be drawn from this, you know . bakhmut completed his er task completely, even the first time, but today you know what the problem is and again they don't want to be some er expert or whine about something, you have to understand that the general staff knows the situation better and in more detail than we do and we can only assume, they emphasize, only omit why such a decision regarding the continuation of the defense was made. and you know, i connected it, including, with such a rather historic speech by the beauty who shouted : if they do not give us ammunition, if they do not provide us with shells, then we will leave , and some more er derivatives such factors indicate that the situation is still at its peak, but let's say so er, a lot of maneuvering for the russians or the reserve bench, i

'm running out of them because, well , they may simply not have enough troops and so overexhausted ourselves with combat operations for a secondary city, in fact, in which we carried out the task of a self-defense operation, as time shows and has shown, we performed it quite successfully, that is why such unanimous support for the further defense of bakhmut and such a decision made by the military leadership allows us to talk about what prerequisites are being created for possible more effective actions of ours in the future even if we leave bakhmut even if we leave bakhmut for one reason or another we are creating such foundations that our an offensive in other directions or even somewhere in the donbass will be effective and will be more effective than what we could have foreseen before this statement. that is, we are saying that with our tactical

defensive actions, we have disrupted operational or even strategic russia's plans to carry out broad offensive operations on these front lines, you can talk , and you know even more. well, it's not only bakhmut, i agree with soledar, let's just remember december, the month when the statements from the minister of defense were unanimously met commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine about a possible offensive in the direction of kyiv, possible offensives from belarus, and thus objectively we are now observing a situation when the enemy simply physically cannot afford to open a new front even more than in the last week, according to the information resource, the belarusian region at least three echelons of troops were sent from the belarusian training grounds to the rostov region to reinforce the attacking groups of the enemy, which suggests that the enemy practically gave up on attempts to create a strike group that can

advance from the northern direction in such a way that this is not an operational-strategic victory for the ukrainian defense forces, e . continuously concentrated a very serious strike group they somehow did not achieve any result especially soledar, as one of the forts of the bakhmut fortress, fulfilled its task and did not allow the enemy to develop an offensive in other directions . in this way, saving the second teration , in addition to what we said for kyiv, the chernihiv region, in this case, the kharkiv region , this is the essence to the bakhmut fortress for today, i say once again that i do not give up my words and completely share your opinion that solving bakhmut would be a reasonable step if you and i knew

all the details of the operation but we operated with you the information that is publicly available, therefore, we have the right to our opinion, but the decision has been made and we, as military men, must confirm and implement this decision. nothing else has been given, but when we look at the map that is being shown to us now, we cannot ignore it such an objective reality that actually these ticks are there from the north to the south . they are trying to cover bakhmut, this means that if we manage to untie these ticks, expand them, then actually getting the flanks, we can even further then the system to persuade the enemy in front of the bakhmutka river, having put our main er efforts on the impossibility of the enemy's advance. well, i would like to pay attention to additional er aspects, which is how the enemy more or less successfully develops his offensive. what sin will there be after

we have moved away from the red game, then the fangs and he rushes to the chrome one, because through the chrome one there is a road that connects the kostiantynivka through the times of the ravine and is actually such an exit to bakhmut itself , so he tries to cut one of the the supply routes of the bakhmut group, but here you know. well, here is the map . it is not so visible, but what the guys tell me there, you know, there is such a feeling that they are advancing in such divergent directions , that is, they are not hitting with a single fist one direction should cling to something and try to achieve some advantages there, well, having a guaranteed amount of forces and means, they could afford it, but taking into account the fact that the situation is now such that i have certain doubts about the possibility of their deployment, this creates for them the threat of that that it will be possible to chop off this palm er-er er-er split somewhere right at the wrist. in this

way, the enemy can lead himself into such a trap as far as the southern direction is concerned , that is, the southern line of support, er-er the attack of the 80th brigade was successful. she allowed we need to push the enemy away from the kostiantynivka-bakhmut route and provide support for our units. thus, before the encirclement of bakhmut, i would say so. it is still quite far , because as long as we keep the supply lines that are covered by the high-time ravine, not allowing artillery the enemy to concentrate and carry out some new awareness of offensive actions in the classics of the genre, if they like it, well, it allows us to talk about the fact that we can still receive bakhmut, and today was just the statement of the minister of defense of the united states, lloyd even said that bakhmut has rather a symbolic value than operational and its fall will not necessarily mean that moscow

will restore the dynamics of its military efforts , that is, in fact, i think that the americans will probably also recognize that exhaustion is taking place the enemy along the axis of the front line, not only in the pakhmut area, and then can we even say that this is the first stage of the russian offensive, this battle for donbas is 2:0 there, it is already in general already moving into such a stage of exhaustion, the enemy has no reserves to renew their offensive actions there or in the bahmut zone or in other directions, well, actually it is . and you know, we focused very much on bahmut . i understand this, including such a media point , but i always emphasized the importance of such directions as avdiivka, maryinka, and vugledar on ugledar, we just saw the phenomenon of the chrome of the russian group . well, i don't know how long it forced them to abandon any offensive intentions. maryinka , or rather, this place

was once called the city of maryinka. stability, because the enemy there actually did not pass from the very beginning of the war, and this place must now be called a place . it is also extremely important for us from the point of view of destroying the enemy's resources. is trying to get around from the flanks, that is, they actually have a colossal resource, let's say that 350-370,000 with various indicators is a rather serious resource, they slipped, so to speak, to such street battles for individual points of the population , that is, after exhausting their offensive offensive capabilities. thus, we say that in general the enemy's offensive actually well, it's too early to say that it stopped, but it was reduced to secondary combat operations and to fulfill its task. well, if you know what happened in the case of

the luhansk region, based on what is more than 95% of the territory is formally under the control of the enemy, so it is possible to say that there is another way they can achieve it there at the cost of incredible stress on the task of reaching the borders of the region, so today it makes sense to talk about the fact that there are no exits to the borders it is not possible to speak to the enemy of the donetsk region, and it is unlikely that he will succeed not even at the end of march , but by the end of spring in general. can we say that in the near future the party will still try to resume hostilities against the ugledar, because that is the impression that it was rather, the main direction of the attack and when it was repelled by the ukrainian troops in the program, they were simply desperate, but now for the third or fourth time, he will try to implement this direction in some way, taking into account his trips there and that of other military leaders, that is the point, as important as it is now important, dangerous , promising, it is extremely important, and it is extremely important

for us and for the enemy, and may the friends who defend bakhmut forgive me, but i will say that vugledar is more significant from the point of view in view of the prospects for further actions after all, we must understand that if the enemy somehow manages to push us away from the coal mine, he will actually make the land corridor that leads from the russian federation to crimea safer will make it much more difficult for us to liberate crimea, that is, today , ugledar is actually the key to crimea. and i would say that it was not for nothing that general zaluzhnyk mentioned mariupol, and we must realize that the largest is not the shortest, so to mariupol actually from our positions near vugledar. thus, we and the opposite are sequenced simply exclusively. i would not be afraid of this word. it is strategically important precisely in this direction, which

allows us now to simply control the basis of the logistics of the russian occupiers, that is , i actually lead the railway about volnovakha and intelligence about this area that allows the enemy to overturn allowed the enemy to overturn troops, we use using long-range means we can fire up to the outskirts of mariupol and maybe mariupol itself because so far we don't have permission to talk about what actually happened there. thus, on ugledar, the enemy may very likely try to repeat his insane assault , i don't know what this will lead to, because the situation for him has not changed from the word absolutely and we are ready to accept the enemy in any direction that is why we are still waiting. well, i understand that this is a bit of a military cylinder, small interesting events , and i do not rule out that these will be precisely the events in the vugledar district, mr. serhiy. you actually have

a unique experience because you worked in the operational management of the headquarters, which is planning its own operation, knows the necessary means and resources in order to plan certain offensive or defensive actions , and has experience in peacekeeping operations. there there in the second there is the beginning of the third quarter of this year and one question arises , i.e. there are mechanized units there is artillery in a certain amount but is it possible to ensure that is, cutting through the enemy's defense line there to a depth of 80 km without air support, because this is what worries the experts, and will there be any palliative solution , is it possible to provide these actions without aviation, will we have enough aviation, or will there be a combination there? - there are other ways to transfer this function to someone, please explain to me why, you know the audience, i also support, i hear something, we need aviation

, and in any format it is not mentioned that we will need it tomorrow, as in the 16th although, of course, we would like to have them, but we are aware of all the complexities of this moment, but we need aviation, especially taking into account the fact that we will be given tanks of western models, which are at least 15 tons heavier than soviet models, and they need reliable cover with air to solve this issue exclusively by means of air defense, how are we trying to do it now? well, i think it will be quite difficult, so i, along with nadiya, look at all these negotiations that allow us to get aviation, and we emphasize that for some reason we often mention the aircraft that began such operations to a depth of 80 to 100 km, and it would be entirely reasonable to use helicopters as a means of combat support

for ground groups of troops in another case, and in another case, we should talk about the fact that such highly maneuverable groups that will crush the enemy's defenses and force the enemy to retreat , as we have seen. this is actually in the kharkiv direction, but only in the complex we can speak, you know, with such confidence about the possibility of an effective attack, and the complex provides for a combination of foreign troops, e-e, mechanized tank units, covered artillery, covered anti-aircraft defense, delivering complex strikes e -e with long-range means and reliable cover and the use of attack aircraft, helicopters , as i said about it in all the available and only such means we will be able to talk about sufficiently effective combat actions , otherwise, you know, this is a bit of a lottery, and mr. sergey, thank you for your time, for

your professional explanations, and to our viewers let me remind you that serhii grabskyi, a military expert, a reserve colonel, was on the air of the express channel, and then about new technologies created by ukrainians. at the weapons exhibition that took place the other day, idex 2023 , the company highlandsystems, founded by a team of developers from ukraine, presented for the first time the stels prototype of the kronos boat. this submarine is able to attack enemy naval vessels . goals and can be used as an unmanned aerial vehicle i managed to come to an agreement, or rather to persuade the designer of this boat and the head of hilen systems, oleksandr kuznetsov, to leave broadcast on the espresso channel and tell us about this project, oleksandr , i congratulate you, please tell me what your submarine can do, what its autonomy is, that is, its general features, so that our viewers finally had an idea of ​​what
