[000:00:00;00] it takes several years, maybe because it is the work of designers and planners and so on . what is important today in sumy oblast, well, just like in this territory of ukraine. i would put such a positive emphasis today. we decide along the way, the positive thing is that we stopped implementing what needs to be done by security and defense, we, as a combat battalion, have already gone that way and we have seen how many human lives can cost any small miscalculations and for us on today is one year of service. and in the izyum territorial defense battalion, i have been serving since may of last year. well, it will literally be a month soon . you know, i don’t want to offend anyone, but for the military there is a difference between combat battalions and what

we were preparing for fighting as a combat battalion. we will definitely get trifles, there is no such thing as if kombat gathers people every morning to pump up in the morning and you see that there week after week month after month or it starts like this well, some kind of, well, not boring well, winding up the work and then comes that one day, they will understand that all this was not necessary, that all this was preparation for a possible 2-3 battles, but this particular pump would not be enough for you if it were not there in order to normally get today's experience of the ukrainian army this is exactly the experience of those combat units who know for sure that there are no small things, that if you love a soldier, you should dig in with him and the trench should protect you all, and if on the contrary, you touch the people who are tired and say let's go there we dig up such a small one, it means that you don't love it. you mean that you throw

it away to , well, in fact, instant death if they are shot in this position. did not take part in any battles. this is normal. this is the second, third, and fourth line. it should be spread like that, but we, as a battalion that has already participated in many battles , were told by god himself to share our experience, to go further . sumyshchyna should be the same. which chernihiv region, just like poltava region, just like kharkiv region, is protected from any surprises on the part of our enemy, we see how he behaves, but let's agree , he can literally change his behavior tomorrow, he can change his mind tomorrow and we, the ukrainian armed forces, have to be ready for the development of events in any direction, thank you very much igor for your work and for the comments of igor shvayka , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine

at one time held the position of minister, this is related to the question of who is fighting in ukraine, everyone is fighting in in ukraine, from the ex-minister to the ex-chairman of some corporation, a business artist, a writer, a journalist, a military expert deputy, here we all fight against russia, such ministers are hiding in their villas, well , the truth is not abroad, now dmytro bachkov , acting as the head of the nikopol district council, is with us on communications mr. dmytro, i congratulate you good evening let's start with the security situation in nikopol region as of this evening. how was the day today ? tell me, please, the situation remains stable and difficult, but today is day and night was more or less calm even yesterday evening, nikopol was suffering from regular shelling by terrorists from the other side of the kakhovsky

reservoir, so the situation in nikopol has been stable for more than seven months in nikopol and marganka in the khrovnogrigorivsk and morov communities. therefore, unfortunately , everything remains the same. like me , that is, the enemy methodically continues to destroy the infrastructure, the housing stock of the civilian infrastructure , does he mean here some critical or now? uses the tactics of such a psychological terrorist of our territory, that is why his shelling from the territory of zaporizhzhya and the power plant and neighboring settlements goes to high-rise buildings and the private sector and to communal enterprises, to schools and kindergartens, well, in other words, in fact, we can say that the enemy when shelling the territory of nikopol and the district does not choose, let's say, from such moments that this very thing is being shelled , is being shelled everywhere, that's why, unfortunately, from time to time

we also have dead people who die from these tourist shellings, because we always we say what why is nikopol always lit up on the map as a zone of constant air alert because when terrorists shoot at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant for 10-14 seconds and the landing takes place, it naturally puts a lot of psychological pressure on our residents, so the shelling is actually the entire territory that is on our on the banks of the kakhovsky reservoir, which is now under the control and will be under the control of ukraine, and i am china, and the current bank of the reservoir will return in time to be a zone of potential threat from terrorists, but those the damage that was caused by the enemy to the dam of the kakhovsky hydroelectric power station, did they affect the water level in the reservoir, what is it more downstream, there it

affects it, please tell me, now the water level has stabilized a little, there were such serious fears and problems from the point of view supply of water and a little water went away but now the situation has stabilized a little well, the spring flood or how or what it is, several factors, including the spring flood , have played their role to the point that the situation is more or less stable, we see that the water level is stable today and it is more or less well, it provides confidence that everything will be more or less stable now so thank you very much for joining thank you for your comments take care god bless you he protects nikopol in general ukraine dmytro bachkov acting as the head of the nikopol district council briefly about the situation in the city and the community that are constantly on the map well, they are almost always red because of course when there is a siren and you understand what you have though

5-7-10-15 minutes, depending on whether some are in ukraine to protect themselves, then in nikopol region. by the way, and in kherson region. i am not talking about donetsk region, luhansk region, kharkiv region, the people of the zaporizhzhia region do not have time, for about 15 seconds the charge flies. is it a rocket? why are they shooting there? and the dnipro. well, the kakhov reservoir and everything and everything. just aim, you won’t calculate the trajectory in any way, you won’t capture the anti-aircraft defense in any way. that’s how people live and, in fact, in addition to living, they themselves have taken in a lot of refugees and displaced people. and they continue to continue to work for a common victory and survive in this unstable situation, we will have another guest now he will join eten and we will say hello to him i wanted to say by the way a very important thing, we are now talking about shelling about occupied territories about threats about injuries about what the enemy is destroying people's infrastructure, life, health, is taking away the government, finally, as long as they talked

about it, finally, somehow, i don't know if it dawned on anyone that something just like that worked, some kind of click was in the head of someone, i don't know what it happened, but the government finally approved it. well, maybe they prepared all the necessary documents, this can also happen , because it’s easy for us to say that the government approved. active hostilities and this is important. i will come back to this topic . now we will talk with oleksandr doroshenko , an officer of the national guard of ukraine , a deputy of the kharkiv regional council . oleksandr, i congratulate you. good evening. i understand that you are currently in kharkiv oblast i am not asking to give out the position of course, but so that we understand what areas we are going to talk about now. as far as i understand in the kharkiv region, we are currently holding the ruby ​​of libya not far from the city of parkovo, certain settlements, so in a few weeks

we will return there from there it was reported in university, i would like to ask you about the situation in that area of ​​dv where you are, whether there are certain threats from the enemy, and if not, what is the main purpose of your work, you , your units and comrades who are together with you, please, where we are standing without any incident, there are no active actions , eh, you can say there is the area of ​​responsibility of our unit, but now, eh, just for me, a new experience will be engaged in aerial reconnaissance , we will have a unit in part of that, eh it will be interesting. and we will work not only for our part, so we will know what the situation is on the border with the north of the russian federation. are there any active actions there ?

are there any accumulations of people's equipment? pay attention, where is the wholesaler or the supply of lopan from this direction. we did not see anything yesterday, if even if there is, we will immediately be able to see it imperceptibly. it will not be like a year ago, when the accumulation took place. there are 29 settlements left in kharkiv oblast, i did not hear that they were liberated, but still, this means that this is a minimal part, this is also our villages, our people, our national centers, but this is a minimal part of the block occupied by the enemy during the first period the period of the great war, since you talked about aerial reconnaissance, i just wanted to ask you, because now i am reading a lot of materials about that. and that aerial reconnaissance and drones in general play a much larger role in this war than many people thought before the war and during this war on drones - it is very very important. and according to your assessment, i am not saying, of course, on the entire

front line, it is difficult to assess, but in the responsibility for the area of ​​responsibility for which you are responsible and how important air reconnaissance is in the war and in general shock roads that can come after it and how equipped today the units that deal with this are, you know, in an uninterrupted flow, because we understand that these drones they are also lost and the tougher the battles, the greater the accumulation of forces and means, the faster this drone can be lost not as a result of enemy attacks and yes please, yes, it is really possible to separate the drones, which ones are for reconnaissance, which ones are shock drones, so, yes, drones. maybe yes, indeed, as consumables, it is possible to lose them and if it will work fish fish if they work or eh of anti-drone forces, also from their side, it is possible, we can, uh, every day in the forest

, we met them and more often than when we were in the kharkiv direction, rap works and if rap works, uh, and it really uh, happens, they just can to get the location uh, those who launch well, there are moments if even he asks for the location, but when it turns on , they can definitely get the location , after that they start practicing artillery, so here is the air reconnaissance, how can it at first glance that you work in a safe place somewhere a few hundred meters away, it’s not always like that. it’s happening as far as shock armed dats are concerned, it’s also interesting and shock drones are kamikaze drones, and there are those that can be returned to that yes. drone eh for eh can be used as trenches or small houses there

if this is to be celebrated there, the bc is stored there and it can be done very unpleasantly and it will be very difficult if you get there, and first of all, drones need to work in order to coordinate our artillery so that if it is necessary, it can be worked out promptly, thank you thank you for finding time for our broadcast. take care. oleksandr doroshenko, an officer of the national guard of ukraine, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council, was with us . now his unit is in kharkiv oblast. higher than the enemy, or this war , in principle, is already changing the very concept of war, or this war began with one understanding of what war is, the future is, well, not of the modern future, but also of the future, drones play a very important role here, because russia started a war as in the 70s, obviously last century, tank columns, classic blitzkrieg, or even possibly 40s tanks, infantry, planes

, but they still couldn’t take over our space . well, here is the war . we will talk about tanks and not only about tanks serhiy zgurtsem, the director of the defense express agency, the presenter was against the military results of the day serhiy, i congratulate you now vasyl i congratulate our viewers, but the question is about tanks and about the bombs that are already in orders of the armed forces of ukraine if i am not mistaken, they are called jean, absolutely correct, indeed, the commander of the us air force in europe, general james hacker, confirmed that ukraine received these high-precision bombs three weeks ago , planning j&am bombs. use from our planes when we talk about the jaydan - it is actually such a set with control roles and wings with gps guidance

that allows e-e to use aviation bombs of different weights as high-precision weapons, in particular, such devices can be installed on bombs weighing up to 900 kg , so when planning bombs, when dropped from an airplane, they can be planned at a distance of about 70 km and have a minimum deviation from the target of almost 5 m in view of the power of such a bomb. this is an extremely effective way of fighting against protected targets with bridges. that is, this is what we will need very much to destroy the defense line, which, in particular, our enemy is preparing in the south. we hope that such bombs in there will be a lot of us because for now, as his general says, an insignificant party has been deployed , but there will be more and more. and later in the military results of the day, we will talk first of all about bakhmut, what is happening around this fortress, about our defense in various areas and

about our future counteroffensive about this for so let's talk about bakhmut for a moment, about what is happening in other areas of the front and about what will affect our offensive capabilities in the near future, and we will talk about this with a person whose assessment of current realities, as i always have pragmatic and accurate, this is mykhailo himself, the deputy director of the center for army conversion and disarmament research, as well as the head of the analytical organization new geopolitik-risoch netto p. mykhailo, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, mr. serhiy, right now the entire information field and our own abroad is filled with reports and assessments of what is happening around bakhmut and there is an echo of the meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, where the president said that both the commander of the khortyts, oleksandr syrskyi, and the chief of staff, zaluzhnyi, emphasize that

such a decision is not from bat- from bahmut leave and intensify, etc. explain to our viewers who are rooting for one serviceman why it is very important to hold bakhmut now, and actually how in these battles at the tactical level, the entire collapse of the russian strategy was reflected, who started there from three days to seize ukraine and now they have been trying to seize it for 9 months the city, which actually has an area of ​​6x6 km, what is going on , what conclusions should be drawn, why is it necessary to defend bakhmut? well, really, i would like to start right away with the second part of your question, let's remember that there were, for example, two months, a month ago, we were told that there would be a large-scale offensive by russia, hinting that there would be a similar campaign as a year ago on february 24

, seven directions of mongoose jumps and so on, and now we see that from that 2,000 km front , in fact, russian efforts have been concentrated, and it is absolutely true, on a few tens of kilometers it is possible to say for a few kilometers, that is, from 2,000 e-e kilometers, the russian offensive was canned in one short burst, which is really bloody and very intense, but still, this is not a large-scale offensive, of course, my assessment for example, my hypothesis is that in fact the russian command tried to mislead us by showing that the main effort would be on bakhmut, but in fact they would try to deliver the main blow near ugledar, but we know what happened to the russian group there, units were broken up e 155th brigade of marine infantry, other e

units , about 130 units of military equipment, including tanks, were destroyed by the russians. well, it's just that the efforts are being concentrated on the ukrainian side to hold this city. well, first of all, if the ukrainian command decided to continue the defense, then there are opportunities precisely in this convenient place, and bakhmut is a convenient place for defense , to continue the defensive -e actions to carry out measures because if a -a ukrainian army comes out of bahmut, it will be withdrawn to the next defensive line, which will be in principle, that is, the actions will be repeated, the ukrainian army will occupy the defense again at the new line and in principle

continue to do the same, that is, if there is an opportunity to continue the defense under these frenzied attacks of the russian army on this border, they do not give up this territory of ukraine , then it is possible to continue the defense , of course, at this border, precisely at this border , and not withdraw to the next, that is, the logic is simple, if possible here to work out these measures, then there is no need to go to another border from the other side, again, er, bakhmut has become a city and a place where the ukrainian army has already won a simply huge amount of time. that is, we understand that the ukrainian army in the strategic plan, preparations are being made for the spring campaign, where measures will be taken to liberate ukrainian territory , these will be offensive contrast operations , now the ukrainian army is preparing for this by receiving weapons, preparing joint units , and therefore, at this time, the ukrainian army is now

conquering, recapturing under bakhmut, it simply is and a uniquely valuable a-a which will of course be appreciated by us in april and beyond. when the ukrainian army starts practicing its operations, i started our conversation by mentioning the bidding and i would like you to appreciate such excessive publicity on our part regarding the decision that we will defend bakhmut, that is, we publicly announce that we are defending bakhmut, in your opinion, or is this not a reaction to a number of foreign publications, sometimes strange publications when we talk about bilt very it is strange the publication or other hints from foreign structures through the american or other mass media about the fact that bakhmut should be abandoned or not. these are the answers or how exactly should such a straightforward statement be interpreted

according to the results of the bid, the publication that was with the results of the bids was really very similar to such a stradkom, that is , a strategic communication in response to the same message. was it a publication of a bill that clearly stated that there is a conflict between zelensky for the alkaline e-e of the zaluzhnik already it is necessary to introduce troops, but zelenskyi says that no , it is necessary to continue to defend ourselves, and that is why , let's say, the city announcement after the stake meeting clearly stated that zelenskyi asked the question before the command and the commander-in-chief and the syrian general confirmed that they are making a decision on the continuation of the defense and immediately this message was disavowed, more specifically, in principle, now if you look at the western press and then it spills over into our information space very much in fact, there is a lot of effort to hype in this topic. and of course, every journalist must prepare some kind of material about bahma

, something must be written. i see, for example , the material is also very strange in kyiv vendina, er, spanish journalists just asked me today what i think about this article, which says that a journalist from kyiv in the nd was sitting drinking coffee with the name of ukrainian fighters in a cafe in the nd, and they told such a very long article that we don't have anything that we don't have intelligence, we don't have security, there's no communication , there's no basic things and artillery support , and so on, that is, very strange material , in fact, of course , the reference goes to some anonymous military personnel. it seems that this is a little inconsistent, such materials do not at all correspond to the principles of journalism if there is such material. there should be some comment eh or eh from the command of the units that are under

bakhmut or even from kyiv, that is, from the press service or representatives of the ministry of defense, because in fact there are accusations against the ministry of defense as the bodies that provide the troops, yes, and of course , starting from the syrian military directly and so on, because there are, in fact , if you look at this material, there are so many well structured directly on all aspects of the possible actions of the security army and all this is written in a very negative plan that well, that is, the only positive thing there is that the ukrainian fighters will fight in any case , but the state abandoned them to their own devices, that is, it was very similar to what was published there in the 14th year in the 15th year there were such materials very often why this material was published and why it was in such a style it is difficult to say if it is not some kind of planned action

then maybe it is just the desire of the journalist ah hype about the negative, such a method also exists in reality. indeed, i also read the publication, and i had absolutely such conclusions. like you , because i believe that such a publication is absolutely untimely. it is based on communication with a limited circle of military personnel. e-e relies on contacts with various levels of other officers who would give an overall picture of what is happening in bakhmut, because even here we are on the espresso channels, when we communicate with the military from bakhmut, they talk about problems, but from them it means that we are still performing the tasks equally. we have opportunities to do our work as well as possible. well, as far as we can , er, this is it. and now if we take a broader look at the situation on on on on the front, in fact, this second offensive on the donbas 2:0, or as you call the last mongoose throw, it began in my opinion on february 8 , that is, precisely with the attack on vugledar and i really

agree with you that vugledar was probably the main target of the enemy's efforts a all the other five directions were actually complementary and now we see that within a month the enemy cannot push through all these five directions, does this mean that the actual first stage of this offensive is already evening out will the enemy have the strength for the second offensive or in the hall or further he will necessarily be given to some other solutions because this method of attack in five directions actually did not give the expected result. what do you think about the perspective? this is a very, very interesting question. i myself do not know why russian teams act like this, because if we let's remember what did we talk about, for example, in november-december? last year, we talked about, well, the need for the russian army to conduct the next such large wave of mobilization, because at that time they already had a lack of reserves, although they have strength, but

they lack the scheme of offensive groups, which would be ready, for example, now to carry out their tasks, we can say that now when this period of the spring break begins, the russians say that this will once again reduce the mobility of the troops and greatly reduce the possibilities of conducting offensive actions, although of course this does not cancel the enemy's operations or plans for operations, but still, well, the possibilities will objectively be reduced, they are already missing this window of opportunity when it was possible , using favorable weather conditions , to try to break through, for example, the ukrainian defense, it is criminal and already of course, then to break the ukrainian defense on the bakhmut and move in the slavic atovsk to what i am leading that is actually a political task, putin did not cancel it, they need

to take donbas, they need to take donetsk luhansk region, which would be, that is, this achievement, they would show as a strategic victory and, in principle, it would be possible to sell it as, in fact, the fulfillment of the task of a special military operation, because other de-nazifications of demilitarization could somehow be transferred to such a sphere of type we will then hold negotiations now. the main thing is that we won on the battlefield, i.e. donetsk and luhansk oblasts, and zaporizhia oblast, or part of the zaporizhia oblast? i am sure that if they had an economic direction a successful offensive, for example, they then tried to go on and on, in the zaporizhzhia region, to develop success, and this really changed the situation. if we talk about prospects, i think that, firstly, the political task has not been canceled, and secondly, i am sure that the order that i signed for operation a-a in january, gerasimov, that is, this same gerasimov, if you remember, was appointed curator or

head of his own operation , he signed this order for the operation, and it is clear that he did not cancel it, that is, the tasks were not completed. i think that march will be very difficult again, until the moment when the ukrainian army does not begin to act proactively, already imposing its picture on the battlefield, then the russian army will be forced to change its actions, as it happened, for example, on the same kherson bridgehead. when they decided to make a difficult decision and turn their troops to the donbas believe that they will be able to achieve at least some success in the donbas, because we could no longer be held at the kherson bridgehead, that is, i think that now there will be a continuation . it is even possible that there will be one attempt in the ugledar direction there will be attempts on silicon and of course they will break er bakhmut showing that this er can become a turning point for them soledar

was a turning point now well, just as in fact severodonetsk and lysichanskyi were called the turning points of their operation i think that this will be march very heavy, heavy, very important in order for the ukrainian army to be ready, that is, to reach its initial positions under favorable conditions and not in difficult p . mykhailo, how do you currently assess the strength of the enemy, why am i asking, this is another interesting thing an interview with the head of the gur, kyrylo bogdanova, where he says that there is actually a reserve of the enemy's forces and means for three to three months. and here are the speeches of individual officials at the munich security conference, where they said such things . they say that the enemy and russia have an economic margin of safety and in 2025, the military reserve is in 2026, and the mobilization reserves are in 2030, i.e. when do you hear such indicators on the reserve
