[000:00:00;00] in general, barabash clarified that the russians hit the high-rise building with an x-59 rocket. people lived in the building. the information about the victims is being clarified. and we are joined by nazarii kishak, the commander of the separate machine-gun platoon of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade named after the black zaporozhets. nazariy was mentioned. i congratulate you. the situation is possible during the last days or the last week, what are the prospects, please, the situation is practically unchanged, we have such an analytical assessment, the enemy is systematically trying to climb up to our positions, eh, to make some reorganizations, yes, tactical actions and in small groups, try to storm our positions, the brigade is standing, can the battalions

tractors are not allowed in the territory , rocket fire and artillery fire, not only now , but also with barrel weapons, are also going to the coal-mining settlements, they are also going to kurakhovo, too fly in and we communicate, we keep in direct contact with the head of the police, who is also helping. now we are evacuating people from the coal mine, those who want to leave the combat zone. well, there is such a situation somewhere, but we understand that the operative forces are there because they are being systematically replaced, they deliver products , ammunition, and they are all working it's okay, it's extraordinary that the enemy in this direction has suffered very heavy losses, eh. i think that soon they will be driving motoblocks because

there is practically no equipment left, but there is still they have a few machines that systematically drive and shell the positions that are in our direction , mr. nazaria, i wanted to ask you specifically about the dynamics after the defeat of the enemy, we are talking about his mechanized units under the coal mine, you said that their equipment has decreased , how much has it decreased and how does this happen to the enemy's offensive capabilities , well, everyone saw that ugledar became an effervescent in chernobaivka 2, so in fact the brigade destroyed a very large amount of equipment and not only equipment a, but first of all, infantry also produces a well, from somewhere they find additional forces and more equipment, let it be of the old model

there for 41-45 years, but this equipment has been driving, it shoots , and it poses a direct threat to our approach , because the dear tank, whatever class it is, still shoots ours the task as small commanders is to preserve the infantry and preserve the personnel because this war is already dragging on and we motivate ourselves every day and want to win this victory as soon as possible, therefore we are now waiting for deliveries from foreign partners who will now give us weapons that can kill the enemy and not give the opportunity for them to gather their troops and carry out some rotations and offensive actions along the front line. we saw a video of how the enemy destroys the armed forces of ukraine in the ughledar direction, and there they have to cover such large distances in order to get closer to our positions, this is a field and the roads are the roads between the fields and also there are forest

strips, they understood that when spring is already, well, it is spring actually. and now i want to ask if the soil now allows the enemy to move towards our positions as actively as possible, so that after all, some the swamp is possible er and a little bit it can affect the offensive offensive potential of the enemy or not please tell me who is my opinion i don't think that the enemy interferes er the weather to take offensive actions well how stubborn is the muscovite and he goes in the snow rain and in the sun therefore, of course, the brigade has professional already cadre soldiers who know how to shoot professionally with artillery and clearly hit the targets, because they are black zaporozhians and they are confident and motivated to destroy the infantry from the first shot like no other. this is already very big combat experience, therefore, there is only one somewhere, such a situation at the expense of advancement

and weather . well , i do not see the difference between summer, summer and winter. there was a situation when infantry and equipment were broken up, they transported ana exactly the same amount of infantry and equipment to the same place. it was broken again and again they tried the third one too eh . similarly, it was conducted by the same factor . well, i don’t understand their tactical actions, maybe eh putin wants to destroy as much as possible before his death, that is why they are sending them here

, well, if so, then this is the right move, mr. commanders, i would like to ask you what foreign weapons have proven themselves best in battles with russian interventionists. i wanted, well, look, as an infantryman, i will say that first of all, we don't have a lot of weapons, we need all weapons because we are infantry, a universal serviceman who must be able to destroy the need for all weapons, and we want more anti-tank, i want javelin more in love although it is less effective than javelin, but we will be happy with everything that is given to us , so we are waiting for deliveries if there is no problem with ammunition today, again , soviet-type ammunition, nato- type ammunition, what is more needed today , unfortunately, i cannot voice the main reasons are such and such information, but the infantry has enough weapons, that is, the leadership takes care of the infantry so that, in addition to the fact that there was

additional ammunition at the position, it was also always available reserve and reserve groups , which during the great fire impact could strengthen any position. that is, we see the level of command that he is working, he is setting the right tasks. well, we, as a small direct commander, already have to do it. thank you you have no problems with weapons at the moment, thank you, sir, commanders, the great commanders of the great war , in fact, nazariy yakyshak, the platoon commander of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade of the black zaporozhians, is currently in donbas, there are major battles, but we inform about the most important radion kudryashov, the deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, joins the conversation. he is in the bakhmut direction . we congratulate you. i congratulate you. glory to ukraine . glory to the heroes. i am glad to see and hear. now about the situation in

the bakhmut direction, well, at least for the last uh, for today, for the last few days, what is the situation, are there any changes, please, regarding the bakhmu direction, the immediate city the situation in the bakhmut neighborhood is unchanged, it remains tense, but it is a fully controlled weapon, a lot of the enemy is saying that he will capture bakhmut , a lot of the enemy is saying that he will cut all logistical connections, as there as you can see , as of today, he is reporting to you that the city of bakhmut, the outskirts of bakhmut is under the protection of the armed forces of ukraine, the defense village is carrying out the defense order, sir, the commanders would like to ask you about the so-called enemy ticks, the north and the south are the ticks that we are they are trying

capture bakhmut, the enemy, yes, the enemy is trying to attack the bakhmut fortress, when you cannot capture the fortress, you do everything to cut off all the connections with this fortress, that is , the siege of a-a directions is ee-e partial under the fire control of the enemy, partially ee-e the enemy is trying to cut them off but due to the stressful situation, the situation is under control, the situation is dynamic every day, that is, the enemy does not give up, the parasites are important arteries to the city of bakhmut, and every day there are infantry battles , there are also counter-battery responses from our servicemen, that is the situation dynamic, but completely controlled, for today we are gathering the forces of ukraine. i want to take this route in slavic , again from what we can say. we monitor the situation with the help of daily updates since the map appears there.

understanding what is happening because territories painted in one or another color does not mean that these territories are filled with enemy equipment and forces. it can only mean that certain enemy groups there reached a certain point. and then from this point they may have already been knocked out. well, but at least local people who are further along this route and the slavic kramatorsk druzhkivka, they say well, it is lower, but in any case, they also say that the enemy is still advancing there, from what can be said , please tell me more about this route, what prospects do we have there, does the enemy have, because i understand that the route along which they are going, well, these are a good target for in order to beat the enemy in this area, please uh, for today , if you can put it that way, the enemy uses the tactics of large masses of infantry i.e the self-proclaimed leader of chvk wagner e-e does prigozhin talk about the fact that he is finished , that he is running out of personnel, well, he himself is in front of him, after such actions, he ends when it is attacks crash against the defensive edge

of the village, the harrows of the armed forces of ukraine , the enemy is trying to intercept the very route and lays out a very a lot of effort in this direction, we , in turn, use a maneuverable defense, do everything to inflict maximum damage on the enemy, and uh, how to preserve our personnel and not lose the main positions to the enemy is trying to advance in all directions where we give the enemy a concession where we go at the enemy in the teeth the enemy stops so we will work we will do everything to ensure that all logistical connections all possible arteries and directly the city of bakhmut was under the control of mr. major, i would like to ask you about the artillery and mortar parity, what is our plus-minus situation

? journalists are starting to throw in the fact that the ukrainians use too much ammunition , although this is obviously a delusion, when the battles are extremely intense and tense, ammunition is used exactly as much as it should be, so because, well, no one will save it. but if we talk, for example, about the current parity of artillery and mortars what does it look like on bahmut, well, directly to what and what is being told can be answered with the following theses: what is happening in our country today the enemy, yes, you are sick, russia seizing our territories is uh, the biggest infantry clash in modern times, almost there 100 years ago and the intensity that is exactly in the direction of bakhmut and its surroundings, they are well

, if you can say so, unique, that is, as i said. another universe here, infantry battles are really taking place at a distance of 1 m to 100 m . here, it is real, the enemy is doing everything in order to simply throw a large number of infantry at our front edge. infantry, that is, ammunition and mines are used in large quantities, we do a lot in order to inflict fire damage on the pile, and for this, ammunition is needed, and in this direction it is needed two or three times more than in, let's say, normal areas , if you can afford this word therefore, the use of ammunition is fully justified by today's conditions, in which we

are closed by the enemy, i.e., 24/7 attacking our positions, storming our position. thank you , enough of the enemy and the use of ammunition today, as we can see, the enemy's front line is replenished with its ammunition, the enemy has artillery ammunition and we are inflicting new injuries on those areas that it considers important, namely this logistics connection and important arteries to the city of bakhmut . thank you mr. major rodion kudryashov, deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine , was working now live on espresso tv channel, we are attaching pavel kishkar, commander of the information warfare group of the donbas volunteer battalion of the national guard of ukraine, captain the people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation is currently in the south, he seems to be in the south. glory to ukraine , commander, glory to the heroes. well, we would like to ask you to give the current situation in

the widely understood south of ukraine. in particular , we are talking about the southern front in the south , the situation has been stable for several months , the armed forces of ukraine, like all the defense forces of ukraine are in full combat readiness, at this time we are taking advantage of the training of our own personnel to staffing the acquisition of new types of weapons and training of our units in fact, we use this period of time as best as possible in those areas of the front where artillery fire duels take place, in particular in the ochakiv direction , this is the daily hard work of the artillerymen, we are talking about the impact of fire on the ochakiv community, and instead the armed forces of ukraine are responding along

the kinburg axis, where the enemy is mostly concentrated, that is why we are working and preparing to the point that in the near future the armed forces will have an advantage in the south and will have the opportunity to carry out counterattacks . during january and in february he pulled his forces there. well, what he is trying to turn into a fortress, let's say the cities of melitopol and berdyansk, is one story, but the enemy also does not abandon his intentions to attack this area, because, let's say, it will be much more difficult to do it in the kherson region because there the dnipro is wide and steep, then in the zaporizhzhia region, e-e . perhaps they have more options, what is the situation there and how intense are the battles with

the enemy there? concentration, concentration in military affairs is not only positive and negative, because the armed forces of ukraine have learned how to implement attacks with high-precision weapons, so any maximum concentration immediately finds its correct answer in the armed forces of ukraine, and you can often read the introduction of the general staff about inflicting damage on the concentration of enemy troops and this work is difficult from the point of view of intelligence, but practically worked out from the point of view of both aviation and artillery strikes, therefore the front from ugledar to zaporizhzhia is the same is under the full control of the armed forces of ukraine, it is unlikely that the efforts of the russian occupation forces can have any success there, sir, commanders, so the information that the enemy has established many echeloned, multi-level defense lines, so

in particular, it is also about the zaporizhzhia specific direction that there are quite wide mini-fields accordingly, they dug in there, i don’t know how wide their defense lines are, whether it will be possible or if there are technical means for, for example, remotely demining enemy minefields and so on we understand that we will not give out any secrets, but how powerfully the enemy has fortified itself, well, there is no secret , and we are doing exactly that and the enemy is doing exactly that, e . it is too early to talk about echelons, i think, but those sections, in particular, of the outgoing and following lines of defense, they

are visible from the russians, and in the engineering plan, and mine blocking measures are being carried out and remote demining is carried out. therefore, this is a question for our reconnaissance, for our means of demining, we have such opportunities and we will use them to carry out offensive measures. donbas of the national guard of ukraine, captain , people's deputy of ukraine, 8th convocation , is currently in the south , and oleksiy hetman, a russian-ukrainian veteran, is joining us major of the reserve of the national guard of ukraine, oleksiy. once again, we congratulate you. good day. finally, for the third time, we will ask the same question that you see now . the dynamics of the great battle in

donbas. well, on the part of the russian federation, the russian troops, well, it’s like that. well, it’s a little difficult to explain . what does it mean that the number of shots decreased ? is the number of people attacking ? this is not a completely clear phrase. well, let’s assume that if it decreased a little, then it is very good. so far, the enemy has not managed to surround bakhmut from the north and from the south. well, we know that if we look at the bump, we can see these groups of russian troops in the north and in the south, and there is a small distance between them, from three to five to seven kilometers, that is, ways to time yarudu kostyantynivka from where are we to other cities from where do we supply everything necessary for the defense of bahmut they are under er shelling but not under the full control of the debt , so in small groups you can

move there directly in the very place the enemy has stopped near this river bakhmutki, it is a small river there, it will widen the width a few meters, and i’m sorry, i’m already ordering according to freud, but they can’t cross this river because we can’t build pontoons to cross it there , of course, because we keep it under er, even by small-arms control, well, from small-arms weapons. not to mention premines of various calibers, will there be more, but we remember that a few days ago, the supreme commander-in-chief made a decision not to leave bakhmut for the time being, to keep the defense there because he became an important strategic object, why did this happen, because judging by what the enemy is trying to do, this object is this city, more precisely , it was, well, an ordinary city, when you don't really want to lose it like any place in ukraine, and now tactics and or strategies

of their offensive actions, it turns the city into, well, the importance of a strategic object, what is the reason here, this is an arc from kupyansk to ugledar. it covers approximately 500 km and just right. maryinka and to vugledarov well, and on and on until the south , almost to zaporizhzhia, through holiapol, for a year and so on, they tried to break through our defense line precisely in bakhmut, in order to send there a large number of troops that they still have on our front line , so that they do not move north there delimano to sloviansk to try to surround our group and of course to the south to ugledar and further west to the south of zaporizhzhia so far i can't do it we are holding the defense

near ugledar near bakhmute besides there are two more two paratrooper regiments of the russian federation, one motorized rifle brigade, according to various estimates, about 25-30 thousand military personnel are concentrated there, this is not the largest group of russians on the contact line, and there are several hundred tanks, and other heavy equipment, but near the direction on the lyman in the north in this arc there are at least 100,000 russian military personnel and about 2,000 e-e units of heavy equipment, these are tanks, well armor, and about 700 e-e units of artillery, well, the artillery is all in barrels and in the south, near the coal mine, there is approximately the same group of groups, a little more there, somewhere between 120 and 150,000, that is the estimated number of russians, and somewhere also about 2,000 heavy equipment and somewhere around 7 units of artillery, that is , they tried to divide our

defense line through bakhmut and then from the north to the south from the center to move and make two rings to sharpen our troops well, that's why bakhmut has become such an important place to provide rights and our defense throughout this 500 km friends, but they are trying we keep the defense if even we will have to withdraw from this city, and we will withdraw not to the clean fields somewhere. and behind us, our frication structures have already been built in the temporary ravine further on. and we can keep the defense there, although there, uh, in the city of bakhmut, very well , it was really turned into a fortress city there, after all it is still better to be on the defensive. although i once again say that if we withdraw, it does not mean a defeat in the war or something else like a catastrophic betrayal or some other words that many, well, some people try to say, it is simply tactical, no, there is no point in putting the lives of our people there and let the environment be the same. by the way, you have made an extremely important professional and in-depth analysis, in particular

, it is about the importance of the bakhmut operation and the strategic plan of the enemy. i am now turning to our editors so that perhaps they will pay special attention to this passage . if we talk in general about the russian group in the donbass, they cannot simply try to shake up the situation in bakhmut and start transferring additional units, for example, by withdrawing them from the direction of bakhmut to some additional well, you know those two groups that in the north and in the south of this arc, moreover, talked there, and it is not necessary to strengthen them, they are already quite powerful. well , to weaken there, you can simply divert them to some other part of the front, it is possible in bakhmut, not so near bakhmuta is a small section of the front, the largest grouping of the russian army is not located there, so they have to shoot from bakhmuta. well, it is unlikely that they can add something there. we already know that the wagner pvk

was actually destroyed. under bakhmut, it is estimated that up to 50,000 russians, this is the growth of this wagner and er regular military unit wagner at the peak of its number of people that they managed not to collect well, these are the imprisonments, other things where they gathered in depressed areas and what they had there were approximately 45,000 military personnel in this private military campaign at the beginning of the year. well, somewhere, well, at the beginning. well, at the beginning , in january, february, there were already approximately 7,000 left, that is, a large number of wagners, it was destroyed, they were replenished. regrouped. there was information that they were diverted. well, they were partially diverted to the left bank of the dnipro river near kherson. there they tried to put everything in order. now they are back again. well, they were replenished in some way. well, not in any way. it is clear how they continue to conduct these hostilities, but for seven months

10 months, to be more precise, this city is being attacked , the russians are trying to take it for now we are on the defensive and a decision was made once again, it is very important this decision, including our commander-in-chief p. what is it worth to keep this defense because there was a conversation about the fact that there are disputes between president zelenskyi and the commander in charge of luzhnyi , we started it, there was such a wave of information, then it died down a little because depending on it, zelenskyi also jumped out with his point of view, that there is no disagreement , that this is a consolidated decision, and the reason for that about the fact that there were uh disputes or well, of course, well, a meeting is held for this purpose, a meeting cannot be held at the rate meeting of the supreme chairman of the main team if any one is not at all happy in any even battalion to there in some relatively small subdivision, so that there are unanimous decisions no, this is a court, this is uh, speeches, people express this point of view. there are certain disputes, but these are working moments. that's how it should happen, and

then a decision is made that is considered the most reasonable the most correct at this time ago. we hope that this decision, well, we believe that this decision was also correct and for now bakhmut will hold on once again if the situation worsens and the russians will give something there or c- means or some well, people or equipment, and it will be impossible to get them in such an influx in such a large number, we also have a limited resource, then i am sure that there will be a cash register and these troops will be withdrawn from this city and transferred to well, to the most convenient and to others are already fortified in the positions that are located a little west of bakhmut, and this is not a retreat there. tens of kilometers, it is several kilometers there , well, it is a short distance. reserve of the national guard of ukraine was in touch with us er, well, more precisely, the question is that a retreat is possible, this is the evacuation of people who , by the way, also remain in bakhmut, and

a separate question, but in what case this is not currently the case, so if such a question arose, we to discuss it, i also want to briefly encourage you and urge you to join the gathering of the military 74th battalion of the 92nd separate brigade, which appeals to the audience and through the press to purchase a thermal sight for them, so we announce the gathering that to equip the enemy in the dark, this is our second brigade , it has been in the zaporizhia region for almost a year on the front line, during this time the guys have not surrendered a single centimeter of our land to the enemy, despite his constant attempts to break through the defense, the confrontation is going on around the clock, they say that from their positions, if they go forward, they will only go forward on the offensive for ukraine, and for extreme combat tasks at night , thermal imaging sights significantly improve its presence , every minute and every hryvnia is important, because this device saves the life of more than one soldier and

destroys more than one enemy, our goal is 170,000 uah, by the way, we have already collected 115,000 uah for 393 uah and i ask you to include the details , well, you can come by the link, e-e, qr-code and you will go there, all the information will be there in order to support us, we are working a little very actively, of course, we do not collect here are millions and billions. unfortunately, for our army, it would be very good if we collected such money, but even what we manage to collect quite quickly, only thanks to you with your help and your news. we invite you to support us if, of course, there is a financial the ability of our fighters, we understand what is being said about our tv viewers, espresso tv viewers are people who are disciplined, patriotic and devoted to the ukrainian cause, i.e. dear tv viewers , if you have the ability 100-200 uah or 50 uah , you can see the qr code in them in the lower corner. or 100 hryvnias instead of this or that country for 10 minutes, i will now wait for the season girl about the most important news, she will tell us about the most important news there for this hour
