bakhmuti is on the spot, he controls the maintenance of the city and the operational situation at the front, the ground forces of ukraine report to the syrians. he noted that our defenders are inflicting maximum losses on the enemy, giving a decent repulse and holding the eastern front on their shoulders . in the past day alone , 53 combat clashes took place in the direction of bakhmuti, of which 23 in the bakhmut area, ukrainian soldiers destroyed 221 occupiers and injured another 314. 28,000 volunteers applied for participation in the offensive guard, as of today, almost all units have already been formed - the minister said according to ihor klymenko, the internal affairs of ukraine, for these units, the selection is tough enough. the training has already started on the training grounds of our country and not everyone can withstand it. the minister also noted that the training will continue as long as it is necessary to get a combat-ready offensive guard.

meanwhile, the training of our volunteers continues in the lviv region. assault brigade rage of the same offensive guard and 29 trainees applied to the police unit. all of them undergo three main courses of combat training, so about that how future stormtroopers are taught, i suggest you watch it right now, the enemy mines as much as possible after itself things that you should pay attention to, so the recruits of the stormtrooper brigade introduce people to explosive devices, instructor volodymyr moroz explains how insidious the enemies of the grenade can be you don't need to be afraid of the grenade, you need to understand that's why they need primarily pay attention to such munitions in general, the principle of detecting, reporting on

the detected potentially explosive object, so that in the future, specialists from with the appropriate equipment, they were able to bring this ammunition to a safe state or neutralize this ammunition. almost 30 volunteers applied to this paramilitary unit of the national police, all of them had the only unstoppable desire to give a tough rebuff to the russians. the most important thing for a candidate is motivation, a great desire to defend their homeland, and this rage that they have and it is necessary to direct it to certain let's say yes to a certain enemy and they are quite motivated , purposeful, accordingly, all these, all their qualities, we increase them, that is, we accumulate them , it happens in accordance with our training in certain disciplines of the most basic ones, in addition to the explosion of technical training, future stormtroopers are taught to provide medical aid under the command of an instructor, they simulate

injuries during hostilities, a medic is waiting among the volunteers. circumstances, this decision was postponed. my parents were against it from the very beginning, they were against it, they saw what happened. and i happened to be in kyiv at the time , returning from kyiv, and wanted to go there i served, but they took away my documents and didn't let me in. i decided to try, my parents were against it, since i'm the only son in the family. and it's a bit risky here. but still, i think that the war must be ended as soon as possible. those who are already there, i have many friends, must be replaced. who fought there, and i know them after

being wounded, and it is necessary for someone to go and do the same thing. what did they do? and this is fire training. the recruits are only learning how to walk with a weapon, and very soon they will be able to use it to destroy enemy targets in battle. the training lasts 14 days and in this short period of time they must master all these disciplines about which i have already said yes, but so that you understand, the training does not end there, they will continue to study and in accordance with different directions and such training processes, they will increase this potential after two weeks they plan to recruit another course of volunteers for training in the national police. they will study because their predecessors. and applying for the service is quite simple, you only need to submit an application, documents and pass the selection

. however, the most important thing, the instructors say, is to be motivated to protect their native land, the de-russification of antarctica, ukrainian polar explorers updated the road signs near the akademik vernadskyi station, they changed the kirovohrad sign to kropyvnytskyi and added new symbolic cities mariupol, kherson, bucha, kolomyia , ivano-frankivsk, as well as new york, ottawa and the capitals or iconic cities of other countries that support ukraine, a signpost to this have not been updated for 20 years, probably the station has never heard so many shouts of glory to ukraine, what happened and the ships that passed by , the polar explorers added and so far that was all the news for this

time updated release wait in less than an hour well literally in a moment meet my colleague mykola september i feel chained to the chair everything is starting to annoy me there is no convenient moment for pain but there is yellow cream dolgit cream dolgit helps eliminate pain and has an anti-inflammatory effect on the irises the only yellow cream for pain in the joints, and for muscle spasms, dolgit anti-convulsant pills to relax muscles and calves . fm galicia to play on the air, attack, repulse, then cyber attack. radio fm galicia prepared its answer. and we heard our armed forces promised

spring counteroffensive of the occupier, so radio fm galicia will be in the formation of an informational spring counterattack , you will hear and even see life goes on, the war is going on, galicia is not easy for the russians, for the ukrainians, every week saturday political club helps to understand the processes taking place in ukraine and the world vitaly portnikov, host of espresso and invitation of experts on based on facts, give their assessment and forecast of the development of events, want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday polyclub every saturday on espresso dobrogo hello ladies and gentlemen my name is mykola veresen around two o'clock around two o'clock we will talk with you i will definitely be with you i don't know if you will be with me but we will start as usual we have a lot of ideas here it would be born

before the program or rather not with us but rather my editors and we will start as usual with events on the front-tah on the front in fact it is all concentrated now near bachmut ivan varchenko an expert on national security issues will be with us now i hope to be in touch and we will just ask him what is happening on the eastern front so ivan varchenko varchenko expert on national security good health, mr. ivan, i am not very happy glory to ukraine glory to heroes is not so much maybe correct the first question is a little sharp but look different sources say that ukrainians are losing under bachmouth some say three times less than russians others say which is five times less than the russians, even those who say 10

times less but if you consider this that the russians lost from 20 to 30,000 with the same data , then the ukrainians lose a lot then the question arises, and in military science there are some numbers, how much can be lost in a certain period of time, because war is still losses , we will not be able to fight with clean hands without wounded and killed. but there is a military science that we have to delay the front . which is not far away, then there is an order to hold on as long as they have to hold on, so that they can then go into a counteroffensive, how many casualties will there be , there are talks about this in general among the military , what is the price of such stops in russia, is it

justified or not, i say again i'm asking a cynical question, i'm not an expert. i don't understand anything there, but it's simple. well, i just took these numbers officially. they have 30,000 . so we have five. well, you also know that. 5,000 ukrainian lives are not simple, so what do you think of this? reason so, mr. mykola, dear viewers, well, in fact, the question is extremely difficult, because it is rather in the plane of emotions and not military science , military science does not really contain similar proportions, which are good enough or which are bad , it is clear that each nation, each nation that fights in each war, determines for itself for myself or during hostilities, or later, many years after hostilities, determines the price

of certain losses of this or that amount, and it is difficult to come up with some logical irrational estimates, you know, with models like these and take and say what if we lose such and such a number of people there everything is good, the price is good, if we lose a larger number there, then it might not be so good. and i don’t think that we will be in such contexts. there, we will communicate somewhere and talk . the only thing i think is that our military team , commanders, with those actions, combat actions that happening around bakhmut, weighing in fact many, many factors, many, many different circumstances that fall on one side of one scale of scales and other circumstances that fall on another scale of scales , and here, of course, we are talking not only

about emotional things, but also about strategic ones for a military victory for our victory in the war things and we understand that you can win or lose a battle but also win or lose a battle and then win or lose a war and of course we all sincerely hope and we see and currently our leadership of the armed forces of ukraine, the commanders of our operations of the armed forces of ukraine demonstrate that we value people, we value citizen soldiers and we value every meter of our territory and therefore we understand that the operations that are taking place, whether they are operations to protect populated areas from defense or offensive operations, they are taking place taking into account the fact that we should allow as few losses as possible, and well, and with regard to bahmut , of course, we hope that our losses are

justified, because there is no war without loss. unfortunately, this war is bloody and in including those related to painful losses for the ukrainian people. well, now, as for the actual tactical part, it seems to me very much now that we are following that informational and psychological operation around bahmut. that the russians have been waiting for more than two months, practically after the new year, that i'm about to remind you of the informational messages that went through the central russian channels , bakhmut is about to be taken, here we are, we will cut the last thin stream that supplies ukrainian ukrainian power defense in bakhmut, we are about to plant the russian flag over this city, this is about to continue , but again soon it will be three months when it is about to happen and what is the essence of this operation that

the russians also fell into the trap when they cannot leave because that they are about to take this city. they cannot stop , of course, for another reason. and for one more reason , in order to speed up this moment of victory, they throw all the other additional additional forces there to the bakhmut, and in this way ukraine is able to concentrate large russian forces there. here i am sure that there is absolutely logic in what our military commanders are talking about in order to concentrate on other directions and prepare a ukrainian counteroffensive, mr. ivan see well, again, today british intelligence is writing about it and experts are writing that the ukrainian forces have really left , but they the experts also spoke ukrainian, ukrainian first of all that there is a river bakhmutka and now the ukrainians stand behind

that river and there a death zone has been created for the russians, as british intelligence calls it , i.e. from 200 to 800 m of such an empty territory that is very easily shot by ukrainian troops. then the question arises if they help the ukrainians and the river appeared. yes, which makes it extremely difficult to attack the ukrainian army. can you expect a change at the front, that they will start to focus not on bahmut, but somewhere else i don't i know 10 km to the left, 20 km to the right, well, that is, when there is an additional river that practically makes everyone a suicide bomber . previously, every tenth person

there was a suicide bomber. these 200-800 m. maybe we have to wait. what the russians will say. well, let's finish with this bahmut. let's leave him with this zhidobanderov. let's go somewhere else. can you imagine it? can you expect this kind of behavior from the russians? no , i can't expect it. this behavior of the russian generals, because i understand that they have already drawn a symbol of a peculiar fetish for themselves and for them there is no other way than to try, including frontal suicide attacks, to attack ukrainian positions, therefore in the russian generals, there are no other scenarios of behavior as soon as they go to drive forward to slaughter all that cannon fodder that they caught in russian cities and everything, as for the ukrainians, we have options for behavior. we have the opportunity to defend ourselves and hold bakhmut

. we have the opportunity to retreat to other prepared positions in the end, we have options to counterattack, including in bakhmutka and in those high-rises that surround bakhmutka, what about your wording , the river of phenomena suddenly appeared, this bakhmutka was not at all out of the blue, it was in our rear of defense and it is clear that we also formed the next lines of defense taking into account this natural line, which is what the river is like, and even more so during today's weather and today's conditions, which are caused by spring melting there and rains. accordingly, we understand that this line is quite difficult for the attackers divisions and since we have already prepared our defensive structures in advance , taking into account certain features , including seasonal ones, it is clear that it is a little easier for us, although at the same time it is clear that the river

is in a lowland, this also determines the peculiarities of our defense there are extremely complex defenses. but at the same time, of course, this line allows us to effectively destroy the enemy, now russian missiles also receive reports that russia seems to have 7% of all calibers left, and the last attack was 81 missiles or 51 air salvos, i don’t know that they count there, but the general staff now, as i understand it, can imagine the frequency of how often there will be such air attacks on ukraine. that is, we already have to calculate that there is an understanding that, well, there, for example, once in three

weeks or more often once every four weeks, there will be no such shelling because there is simply nothing to shoot at, right? i understand that the war is becoming more predictable, more like that. well, i can imagine what happened a year ago. well, no, i can’t imagine, on the contrary, i can’t imagine when we have absolutely nothing they didn't know, only it all started, they didn't know how many were in the warehouses, how many tanks, how many missiles, where they were going, how they were flying , what trajectory, whether there would be iranians or not, that is, can it be said that now the ukrainian armed forces and the generals already can roughly calculate the future actions of russia, knowing how many people there have been mobilized , how many t-72 tanks are left, are there t-92 tanks left there, or is it 90 , that is, how many planes, how many missiles, that is, it has already become some kind of calculated mathematics, and not something that you can jump into, i agree with

due to the fact that for many years before the beginning of the great aggression and finally before the start of the war in ukraine, russia tried to exaggerate its capabilities in view of the only sufficiently strong and influential factor with which it tried to work throughout the world, this the formation of fear is such that in order for everyone to be afraid, they had to talk about what a great, powerful and invincible russian army they have, what they actively did and what they did . we must give credit. they will continue to take steps towards ukraine this year, because they were really shocked by this lying propaganda in russian, they really thought that

i am what she tries to tell about herself, and not what she actually is every day during our war demonstrated and showed the true capabilities of russia, it was used and used in the ukrainian fronts in the ukrainian reality, and now of course we have the opportunity to calculate not so much our ideas about what can be real in russia despite the huge layering of propaganda and disinformation that it fed us now we understand how it uses those weapons, we see how its weapons come to the ukrainian front, we see what they have left, we understand that russia she is trying to use all that she has now in order to first play for her loved ones, then in order to quickly defeat ukraine and not get involved in a protracted war, but now, as we can see, the children of pravda are nowhere and they have nowhere

to go, they were forced to get involved in this protracted war to announce about it and now mobilize the entire russian economy. despite this, we see that today the incoming missiles are missiles manufactured in 2022, we see that russia no longer has the opportunity to systematically strike every week or even twice a week, as it was six months ago these hundreds of targets in ukraine with these missiles, now in order to carry out a massive launch, as they have done now. and they called it a launch of retaliation actions of retaliation, so they need to prepare, it was a little less than a month ago that the last time they tried to launch more than 50 missiles on the territory of ukraine during the month of february, of course, we understand . the same applies now to tanks of larger armored vehicles, even ordinary vehicles, which the russian

armed forces are in dire need of, and we are not even saying that they do not have anything to provide now a new mobilized of its citizens and those units that are classical and that have been fighting there for many years, that are bloodless and have lost their equipment, they have nothing to replenish this equipment and this is an obvious fact that is already today not a subject of our imagination but what we see with our own eyes on the fronts what russia is facing and of course we understand that these problems are just sorry mr. ivan sorry sorry sorry because we literally have a minute to extrapolate my previous question about the power of russia after after a major war with ukraine, we can expect some reforms in the russian army, some kind of cessation of total lies about the strength

of the military, weapons, and so on and so on . do you believe in the possibility of such reforms of the russian army ? in 10 years, the russian army will change and become so modern and correct that scientists there will work on new weapons and will quickly come up with such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such and such, what do you say, i understand that that today the world, the civilized world, is very well aware of the weight of the word and understands that in order to de-nazify this people who call themselves the russian people, we will have to work and work hard enough so that they no longer have the opportunity to poison their own population with anya's propaganda. the surrounding world, and because of that i am absolutely sure that the civilized world will concentrate on this after our victory, just as we
