[000:00:00;00] there will be a return to szch well szch this is the so-called arbitrarily leaving a part of the guys it will be harder to fight in fact no because well because in normal cities there is another breath of fresh air and the fighters must rest otherwise well believe me here is the most important most important feeling in the war - this the feeling of tiredness, but the only possibility is the feeling of overcoming it at least in some way to rest, yesterday we learned that oleksandr yapchanka is a well-known public figure in ukraine who before the war was such a great driver of reforms in medicine and such an ally can to tell ulyana suprun, who went as a volunteer for this war and, moreover, not just a volunteer anywhere, he does not work there

, relatively speaking, somewhere there as a press officer, he just works, well, in the unit of honor. that is, it is the same assault group of intelligence and yesterday he was wounded by a cluster munition received in the hand and head, fortunately , the injuries do not seem very serious, but this also shows how large, well, the obvious number of wounded and casualties in general in this direction is now, this indicates how brutal the intense fighting under bakhmut is in particular happening, well, because even well, just people whom you know almost every day there is some there is some information about them exactly yes, the only thing can only confirm but confirm but maybe even a little comfort maybe even a little comfort and about the wounded for example, if

you compare with may, may is quite a long time ago it was already like that, but nevertheless, if you compare it with may, the number of casualties and wounded is much less, but maybe the structure of the war has changed a little because the guys dug in deeper because new air defense systems appeared because we have the majority outfits and we can cover each other there, cover the infantry, by the way, most outfits mean less losses, as paradoxical as it may be, because heavy artillery shells, they primarily cover the infantry, which suffers less from the theft of shells , this is how you know me in the first days of the war they said listen, i studied medicine, that is, i had the task of teaching the basic basics there. and the guy told me the advanced, listen, yes, what kind of

medicine is fire support - this is the best medicine. that's how it is, in principle. that is, the more aggressive you behave, the more you the more you pour, the more if you have something to do, pour, and the less personnel losses . therefore, of course, it is related to the war, but in the war, there will always be losses and there were losses, so you just have to come to terms with it and do everything you can to make them easy to say the least, about oleksandr yavchenko, if i may. he wrote about his first injury yesterday. what are we talking about? we need to show him somehow. in principle, the audience knows oleksandr very well, who even

during the revolution of dignity was at this hospital on independence square and so on. and so he wrote yesterday that this injury tells him that he was lucky because he was on volosenko from dying. he says that it also reminded him of the fact that it is very important not to waste time, this time to build a strong democratic country of free and educated people, to build not after the victory or after the holidays or after something else, but already today , every day, which today is for our country could not have existed, but god had mercy. i think it is very important that you managed to visit while you were on vacation. what are your impressions , do you know? yesterday we also discussed with valery the baker, he wrote such an article for which many people attacked him and many said that it was not it is time to breed various pessimisms, but he actually writes there that we will win this war

, he is convinced of this, but it is important that what will happen after and that this after is exactly what we are fighting for, well, we cannot live only by war, because the same reforms must be made inland it is necessary to preserve democracy in this country, yesterday a new rating with freed chaos was published and we have dropped very much in this rating for the first time since the 14th year. war with martial law but not everyone is so clear anyway, you know, well, what can i say, i didn't actually read the article valeriya there is no time, but i agree with this thesis. i always had the opportunity to write a little on facebook. i always said that the wrong idea about that that the boys will come from the front and restore order when i personally come from

the front, and i am sure that i will say now for all the boys , our only wish is to rest , be with our families, psychologically recover and so on. and the guys will do everything. they will be exhausted . it will take years . when it is difficult, moreover, i feel that all important reforms are also possible during the war, and they are possible during the war , we have guys, we have lawyers, experts, and so on . is given to us with a lot of blood, but these opportunities should not be lost either. i am for even now what i am talking about, you know that we

are suffering from blows to our power plants, we must already think about alternative energy. so it will not happen immediately at the click of a finger, but we must do this we will still win this war, we will still have to give up coal from old power plants, but now we have to do it gradually because we have a government, we have the ministry of energy, the ministry of ecology , the ministry, well, that is, all these ministries , the ministry of justice, all these ministries have they are engaged in war, but they have to engage in court reform so that the country has a. believe me, when the boys come home, hundreds of thousands of people will be a super question for justice, because the boys will be sensitive

to this injustice, a fair court , legal, non-corrupt, we need it finished. yes, we are also fighting for the country, and the country is becoming at least a little better, gradually better, closer to europe, this is of course very important, there is also a danger , which valery pekar also mentions in that article that the guys who will return and have society as well, not only those who are fighting , not only those who are in the trenches, but those people who lost their homes or lost the opportunity to live where they lived, were forced to move somewhere in order to save their family there , they will also have a request for justice, but these people there are conditional activists, so those who do something there, then after the end of the war, they can discredit and open some criminal

cases against such people so that, again , they could not do something good for this countries in order to appropriate what they chose with their own hands, with their own time, with their own deeds, with their own efforts . well, 100% more likely it could be. rather , it could be more than that, and we are here choosing our independence, choosing the right to exist on the other hand, it is also dangerous to implement , except that well we, i directly understand that we will have some problems , there will be some evil broken guy who will throw a grenade somewhere and all this will fall into the pendulum will wake up in the other direction in the other direction that's it

, of course well, the system remains i'm not saying even the government, the old system has remained and the corruptors have remained, a certain mafia has remained those who want to make money in this, in this chaos, of course, the armed forces as a subject, of course, activists will be dangerous to them, they will do everything to discredit them well, what is left for us, we have to endure it it remains for us to win the war here at the front and there in the rear and continue to build the state, mr. yegor andriy already mentioned this incident today from your appearance in sn well, in fact, it is very important when this video is actually like that without sound, unfortunately we cannot hear well, but we know about what you said, you appealed

and said that we need more weapons and this is very important when the voice of ukraine sounds abroad, moreover, especially your voice sounds, didn't jake sullivan call you later he didn't call me, he didn't call me, but well, when cnn called me and told me and warned me, you say, well, you understand that all of america, millions of people all over the world are watching these movies and so on, i say yes, i understand and believe me, it will be very an apt question about the war itself. that is, it will not be general or something like that, some things , it will relate directly to the front line, and here are a few points, first, jake sullivan answered very competently. he did not answer any general things, such as we are just helping him.

listed what they helped and he promised that after about two weeks, president joe biden will again sign the documents on the decree on the provision of regular assistance directly what i said and asked minsk 120 120 mm 155 mm and additionally himars missiles, which we are so expecting, and here it is somewhere, if i am not mistaken. a week ago, even the executive director of cnn called me personally and said that the white house had just announced that additional support for missiles had been provided, so i understand very well that the people of the united states are rooting for us we are cheering and the government is also cheering and the government is forced to respond to this request, the request of the people's society, therefore of course all possible

appearances in the media, cnn, possible text versions and the new york times and so on, regarding the war in ukraine, regarding the front, they are very important, very important here. well, of course, when i was offered to ask jake sullivan this question, and by the way, thank you, show my article on the new york times yes, yes, yes, and well, in short, of course, this is very important, in fact, this is the new york times article. you probably never suspected in your life that you will have to write an article for the new york times. well, maybe it would be like that, some kind of dreams . no, i had no idea, i didn’t even dream. well, even more so , you probably had no idea that you would write this story about something like this. the second grade gets a triple with a plus. for the work and says listen to me, and soon the new york times will print what do you even have bosses? you know, i was thinking something like that, and the only thing i thought was when i was getting twos and i was getting a notebook that

i opened and it was all red from mistakes , and now the teacher goes to yegor firsov's page, opens it, and there cnn and there and now she is blushing and thinking, god, how come she is writing comments now under the new york times article . by the way, this is my student, we are laughing, but mr. yehor, as a journalist, i understand how important it is to tell people abroad what this is our war, because they may have, well, that is, they support us, but they do not live in this whole madhouse in which we live in this distorted reality, the last incident from the life of an acquaintance, we spoke with whom we made an audio guide for edinburgh in ukrainian for ukrainians who will be there in in scotland , there aren’t even many ukrainian women who can listen to a tour of edinburgh

castle in ukrainian. he talked to those customers who ordered the voiceover of this audio guide and they asked, you know, their piety, how are you doing there, he says, well, we are sitting right now, there are air alarms, a massive missile attack, we are going through this, this year is not easy, and this woman on the other end of the correspondence from scotland, india, of course, it is not from evil, but she says and we are waiting for spring e- e well, the dissonance is such that it is clear that we can be offended by it, outraged somewhere or say what is it like, what kind of spring we have here, air alarms , rockets overhead, but well, they do not live in this whole crazy world in which we live and what you described in that article for the new york times did you have any possible feedback from people who read, i don't know if there are comments open, i had feedback feedback directly from the editors directly to me there

often after publication this is not my first article often after publication there washington post politico and again new york times if not i'm wrong, this is the third or fourth article that i've published. they write to me on facebook . well, different people write. so to speak, the trick is what happens conditionally in kyiv, even if i were not there, i would never write an article for the new york times, i would write it for several weeks , but right here on the front page when you just pick up the phone, when you are frankly scared because you are going there on on the road of life, which is constantly being bombarded, here you take out your phone and start writing down everything in a row what do you feel, where do you feel that you saw a story

that happened a day ago and so on and of course it's all alive it sticks and when you describe your life there in the trenches at war and you you transfer the task of transferring those who will read the americans and english there directly to your trenches directly transfer them when the mines are flying towards you and so that they can see the children's drawings in your company that hang on the eye of the conventional wall in the trench directly retell how the boys sleep with machine guns back that when the trench falls asleep, you have to get out from under the trench directly with weapons and also fight and so on and so on and so on, that is, such stories that are worthy of being known by the whole world are worthy of being known by the whole the world knew in general what the ukrainian army is facing, that it is not just some kind of war, but directly the life of war. and every

minute of the war, where our ukrainian infantryman lives. it seems to me that it is important and everyone who reads the article will 100% well, it is not that sympathize empathize empathize and it is possible to do everything by yourself to help, and by the way, the article in the new york times is most likely. in the end, to help ukraine or not to help, and this word is also a weapon. i really want you to write an article as soon as possible, not from the road of life, but on the way to kyiv, about the fact that ukraine has won and you are returning home to your usual life where you can eat in peace land and not to fear for your life and for your life for the life of your relatives for the life of the whole country thank you for making a dream about this dream we also

dream thank you mr. igor yehor firsov , a fighter of the armed forces of ukraine from donetsk region joined us and told us about what he does not only on the battlefield, but also on the battlefield, the column of newspapers, which is also very important . well, let's continue oleksiy hetman of the wind for the russian-ukrainian war, the major of the ngu reserve is already with us oleksiy edmon, good morning to you good morning, mr. oleksiy, i would like to ask what you think now events are developing in particular around bakhmut. there is a report from the russians that it seems they are trying to storm the river that flows through bakhmut, bakhmutivka, and still enter the city center in this way . what can this indicate? how

realistic are these reports? well, this is not the first time message this river already serves as such a water obstacle for the offensive, well, for the advance of the russian troops there. well, this is a small river, it is so much faster than a canal than a river, but to cross well, it turns out that it is difficult to cross even such a small river, it is difficult to swim, now you will not cross, build pontoons to cross them of course they can't there because they will be under fire, that's why such a small canal can become an obstacle to the movement of russian troops. there is really fighting there. well, but have we crossed this river or not? well, for now there is no information that they have crossed over. we are holding the defense. that is why we need to watch the news that will arrive there today. they continue to add troops to increase this pressure. well, we are holding the defense for now . how long can we hold on there? it depends on how much ammunition will be supplied to us and how much will be carried out. well, a certain rotation

, because a little bit, people cannot constantly conduct combat operations, well, in general, it was calculated that a person is more than calculated by american researchers that 72 hours of combat after that in it is necessary for a person not to conduct any combat operations for at least a day, just to get himself in order, because psychologically and physically , a person can no longer stand it, therefore , certain rotations are needed, certain movement is necessary, is there a road to the temporary ravine, then to kostyantynivka, it is under fire control, but you can move in large groups and get a ride everything necessary , including food, water bc well, take away the wounded and do at least some kind of rotation, because it is difficult to endure battles for a long time. well, i understand that 72 hours is very, very small the term is for american-style calculations in them, they are more loyal in ours. it is already holding, well, as long as you can conduct hostilities for a week or two. then, well, any person will not be able to withstand it, including psychological, not only

physically, actually, does bakhmut remain such a place and a city which stops a possible offensive on sloviansk and kramatorsk, or can the russians still try to develop this offensive without the bakhmut brothers being able to, well, by and large, such an arc is large from starting from the grouping near the estuary in the north, then bakhmut avdiivka maryanka vugledar, this is such an arc, and there are, by and large, three large groups , the largest is in the south , here is lupyansk, well, those who are trying to advance are dalimana in the north, in the south. and then it would be possible and they would like, well, this is obviously a tactic, then make such

an attack from the north to the south and close these two such rings to surround our grouping, so for them, well, not only the political sense makes a lot of money also the military, so that it was possible for the liman offensive from the south to support this offensive of the russian troops. their weather must have had an effect on this because it is very difficult to drive heavy machinery through the mud, so they have few of them left, but they are still there for now. well, relatively few. well , let's say there are few, but more than here, so that it would be easier. everyone says there are few there. they have not much artillery, but not much, but more than ours, they have a few bullets, but more than ours, so we can say that everything is fine there. well, i would, i would not take such a risk about their losses, yes, they suffer heavy losses

, but we ourselves say that they concentrated more than half a million people in these areas, well, at this dose, in order to carry out offensive actions. yes, we destroy up to a thousand to a thousand. well, not every day the servicemen of the russian federation are big losses. less than 5% of that, we destroyed about 4% in a month when they started advancing , well, let's not count so precisely, let's count, i remember this person, less than 5%, we destroyed their military personnel who are there , well, let's do it, well, without being great strategists , we let's understand that the loss in a month under these percentages of military personnel is not a very big loss, to be honest, so expect that everything is fine there, that they will bleed out soon , we will kill everyone there. well, i wouldn't say so, well , let's just look at the numbers

mathematically, it doesn't work out that we have lost a lot of them, that they are already exhaling there , so we are hitting. now, by the way, with aviation, it is said in russian that it has become more active, and at the same time we have only i, so in quotes, i will say only one su-34 seems to have been shot down not so long ago russian what happened we lack anti-aircraft air defense forces on the front line is this is this an exaggeration in basically rumors about what is there we don't lack more aviation, we don't lack it, we already see how it works when they make these raids , they checked our pvoti daggers, yes, and also six daggers, yes, that's what it means, it's some kind of creation, some kind of eastern e-e aviation in

them and was focused on well, at this dose near the front line, they did not actively use it there , well, it was, well, you know , it is difficult to accurately estimate the number of planes because they are moving, we estimated, we estimated how many are there, they took, and already our estimate is worthless, well there were approximately 300, 300 helicopters and about 400 airplanes. they began to use certain guided bombs, a relative cow of bombs, and these airplanes are not flooded, they do not fly far into the impact zone, so we lower them little by little. and i think that they are checking how much they can do with airplanes offensive actions well, not offensive actions, i supported offensive actions on land , that's why they became more active and used them.

constantly destroyed, that is, something significant has not changed there, from the point of view of the use of aviation, mr. oleksiy. last week, we saw a video from the crimean peninsula, where ordinary residents of crimea filmed these ditches that the russians are digging on the coast, they say. farewell beach season, summer, spring. and now information has appeared that the russians are already setting up such defense lines. i would like to show this video, where from the crimea, actually, where are these ditches? crimean 2023 holiday season, now it looks like this. and now the information has appeared about what the russians are building in the defense line in the kursk region of belgorod, the institute for the study of war says that this is just such an information campaign, that it is completely different from what we saw from the crimea, they say

, simply for intimidation. the effect of building these defense lines. do they still have another meaning? well, if we talk about money , then half a billion were fired by rockets in our country, but two days ago, one dagger is worth up to 10 million dollars there, according to various estimates. what kind of buildings are they? they are building trenches. well, i don't know. i think that all the trenches that they will dig there, all the boards that will be used will cost, well, times less than one dagger. therefore, it is unlikely that this will have any economic effect on the russians. it's just that when we see these fractional structures at net prices, we we see that there is a lot, how much is there to dig? how much is there to build blintzes? that is a lot of money. when we see one rocket, a dagger , we have a figure of 10 million dollars. for many of us, it is so abstract

, but to dig there is 10 km. oh, that’s it. big losses no this is not a big loss for the russian federation in terms of what they spend on weapons, why do they do it? well, i am here , you know completely, well, i 100% agree with the conclusion of the institute for the study of american guilt that this is most likely well, it is unlikely that it will be possible to defend yourself, well strong defensiveness, but this is a psychological influence on the residents in order for them to unite again with the surrounding air, so that they do not protest against the mobilization that may take place there, so that they sit quietly in silence as if there is something to be done there these are actions for the russian army. it is possible that someone’s property will be taken away. maybe something else, that is, well, this is how to intimidate people . well, they can achieve this effect

, well, at least the relatives of russian servicemen from the crimea, or rather, russian servicemen quietly take their relatives away. no one will say thank you. and the collaborators are traitors. they are also fleeing little by little because, well, if some russians remain alive there and some serviceman is captured, then all the rules of geneva apply to him conventions on the treatment of prisoners of war of the red cross, that is, if he did not commit war crimes, no one will be brought before the tribunal, but traitors. and they are collaborators already from article 112 of the criminal code, state treason . therefore, living in a council house, even if they, if we do not fall into our movements, they will immediately leave to court and there are very long sentences , they understand that, that's why they run away, well , it's nice from this side, there they feel that we are cleaning the crimean land from the russians , thank you, thank you, we'll be back soon, thank you mr. oleksiyu oleksiy hetman veteran
