[000:00:00;00] so during the shooting of the film, was it important to choose a place that is actually in the border zone, because one of the most important topics raised there is the violation of the law and a certain dualism, so to speak, an organic organic existence between paganism and christianity, and therefore it was also important to find these places in which you can say, all this power is present and all this activity, let's say, which we needed, you know when we were on an expedition two months before filming, and we lived there for two

weeks, and well, that was apart from rehearsals, it was observation of not only the dialect, but how hutsul people fight, how they rejoice, how they ah-ah, how they strive to win . that is, it is this spirit, when you stay for two weeks, it somehow grows on you a little and you gradually or slowly become a little closer to where is russia boris weapons to continue its aggressive war in ukraine news from the front and the traditional spreading of russian propaganda myths about this and other further in the program spotlight ukraine ukrainian

version and i tell you see you tomorrow see you, i remind my mother of dr. tice's comfrey and you get back to work we are with comfrey german ointment for pain in the joints and muscles, painting restores joints and muscles natural ointments of dr. tice's painting, ask in pharmacies pharmacy nt pharmacy penny and pharmacy layer comfrey ointment 100 grams with a 15% discount fm halychyna has prepared its answer and we heard that our armed forces promised a spring counteroffensive to the occupier, so radio fm halychyna will become the instrument of an informative spring counterattack, you will hear and even see life

the war is going on. galicia is hard for the russians, for the ukrainians there are moments when the body quickly loses fluid , which can lead to dehydration, when there is not enough ordinary water, i save water from reo for special medical purposes, the retention of bachmut is not just political, but strategic, why does ukraine quit all the forces to take the fortress city of may are wondering when the long-awaited counteroffensive of ukrainian forces will begin and whether we will be able to reach crimea, a russian fighter jet shoots down a us drone in the black sea, what is the strategy

putin's russian propaganda has finally lost its mind, they lied about the good putin, the nuclear threat , you are watching the ukrainian version of the atlati chain, trends, world politics and analytics made by ukrainian journalists for the whole world . by sea, the american side is constantly trying to look for provocations to incite confrontational approaches, the heavy battles for bakhmut do not stop between the ukrainian and the russian armies, the russians declared that they had entered the industrial zone

on the outskirts of the city, but the armed forces of ukraine immediately began to knock them out. journalists head explosions and the whistling of the wind break the silence of the destroyed bahmut , will the ukrainian military be able to hold the city , the main question of the last days, the russians are attacking from three directions, the northeast and in the middle of the day, the mercenaries of the wagner group managed to enter the industrial zone on the northern outskirts of bakhmut and the armed forces of ukraine are trying to knock them out. two and a half thousand soldiers were killed and wounded , the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, announced that the supreme commander-in-chief's staff, which met

this week, again decided to continue the defense of the city and the clear position of the entire stake to strengthen this direction, to destroy the occupier as much as possible, at the same time for uncompromising determination to continue the fight for bakhmut, even despite the threat of zelenskyi 's entourage, are often criticized in the west, skeptics claim that the losses incurred by the ukrainian army in the bakhmut direction may jeopardize preparations for the spring counteroffensive now we are talking about the fact that the loss ratio between our forces and the enemy's forces is 1:5, which is quite optimal from the point of view of bleeding of the enemy if further such losses will decrease, the ratio will be one to one and the risks for the grouping that bakhmut is currently receiving will increase, then there will really be a decision to withdraw , it is quite difficult to accurately predict it. moreover, both the political leadership of ukraine and the military leadership are determined to keep

bakhmut because if we move away from bakhmut, no risks will disappear, russian troops will not disappear, they will continue to advance, and then it means that other frontiers may have such risks as today pahun, in particular, also the agglomeration of slavic kramatorsk, which is located behind bakhmut, the beginning and success of the ukrainian counteroffensive is convinced serhiy zgurets depends on the supply of western weapons, not on the situation in bakhmut, military expert roman svitan is of the same opinion, unequivocally ukrainian troops are preparing for offensive actions that will begin no earlier than a month when the weather conditions will more or less allow it and the equipment will arrive and the defense of bakhmut will not affect the preparation for a counteroffensive there now, it is a very difficult situation for our military, but no which operational encirclement is not in question, bakhmut fulfills its task of maintaining the line of the donetsk front. because in the event of a withdrawal

from the city, the entire front in this area will fall until approximately mid-april. in the areas of the breakthrough, the russian military machine is increasingly experiencing shortages and has almost tripled the consumption of shells at the front, the world street journal writes , but ukraine's reserves are still almost three times less than the enemy, and this gap must be reduced for an effective counteroffensive , journalists emphasize, for the first time in the years of independence, our state launched its own production of ammunition the other day bakhmut is the best strategy, will ukraine be able to make a breakthrough with the help of new

weapons ? analyst scientific associate of the department of military studies of the king's college london thank you for inviting so, kyiv and moscow in the east of ukraine, the situation in bahmut remains difficult, but the ukrainian soldier soldiers they manage to push back the russian military, is defense with bahmut really the best strategy, first of all, you need to look at the military clock and understand that if general zaluzhny believes that it is really important to keep the defense in good condition and in case of failure in this direction, then the country may suffer colossal losses in the future and considering

now it would be wrong to give the city to the russians if the armed forces could have left the city earlier in order to save more human lives . are questioning such a decision. some believe that it is such a thing to be in trouble for such a way that the russians lose more human resources, because there are colossal losses. therefore, it is very important now to hold out for time and in order for russia to really expired within the framework of its military, an important point is also the fact that the russians during the second phase of the special military operation they wanted to use bakhmut as a bridgehead for their further actions, in particular in the direction of kramatorsk and slavyansk, the problem

is that they will most likely use a bakhmut with such a goal in order to advance further, therefore, in fact, probably the russian forces. maybe they will want to somehow reunite because or to close the circle to take this direction in particular very there was a lot of talk about what the russians can do in military terms, of course it will be for them, for us, for the ukrainians, it will be important to preserve the city as much as possible, and in particular, the ravines and other settlements in these situations are extremely difficult, we will not be able to predict what will happen, because we understand that the wagnerians are also losing their soldiers en masse

, on the other hand, new fresh forces and new weapons are coming to ukraine, so we hope that the position will really be held and when the russians arrive until the culmination of their attack, when they run out of human resources and defense and resource gathering, then the situation will be different , of course we understand that the speed of russian advance on the territory of ukraine has decreased and in fact this is exactly what the ukrainian and what the american institute for the study of war said or you what do you think will happen further, if bakhmut remains under the control of ukraine, then it will be a very huge loss and failure for the russians, because they have already invested a lot

in order to acquire it and actually initially in the second wave of the second stage of the war, russia was obsessed with this idea of ​​capturing bakhmut in order to then push back militarily and move further west and in particular to kharkiv and slavyansk, kramatorsk, other cities , and therefore now if russia loses bakhmut, it will be very unfortunate for indeed, their primary plan will fail and they will not have enough of her power, it will not be so easy for them to supply their troops, to control the logistical routes that are west of bakhmut to the northwest, that is, the troops have it in the military is in the military sense, but in general, politically, we understand that it would be such a political victory for putin if they took bakhmut, because putin wants to show something to his audience, general general gerasimum

now wants to somehow charge the russians, he actually presides over this operation and therefore for them it is very important to actually hold bakhmut , even with a huge loss of people and weapons, so we understand that now the morale of the russians has fallen very much every day. we hear a lot of news about the supply of western weapons to ukraine when ukraine indeed, thanks to this weaponry, the situation on the field will be able to change in combat. now we know that some leopards have already arrived on the territory of ukraine. we also know that the brigade and their crews from the military are preparing them for the purpose of properly using this western equipment, so that there is an opportunity

to integrate western weapons within the framework of the weapons that are available in ukraine are also very important to learn correctly. and to manage the equipment is so important in training, there are such estimates that indicate that approximately at the beginning of may at the end of april we will see the rest of the promised tanks, which are now being put in order before sending them to ukraine, as well as the military crews , should be ready for that period, it is also about the challenger tanks, and again, there should be specialists who can properly operate the equipment, master the t-72 and western more modern tanks, it is clear that the training process is also difficult, that is, we understand that together with

tanks, other weapons must be sent to ukraine in order to be able to cross rivers and disrupt the course of events on the battlefield we we really hope that at the end of april and at the beginning of may, ukraine will see the rest of the promised tanks, but the bigger problem is the actual delivery of the promised ammunition with a diameter of 155 mm, and i think it will take more time for this. there are various quotes about the long-awaited counterattack of the armed forces and colleagues from the washington post, the quality of the ukrainian military, which used to have a certain advantage over the russians, and we see that this quality has already decreased after a year of war, and

therefore there are certain doubts, they doubt that will the ukrainians manage to carry out an effective counterattack this year, that's how i heard similar statements from my colleagues from other institutions, in particular , and the essence was that ukraine also suffered a lot of losses in terms of human resources, and there is such a problem that recently drafted people and we know that mobilization continues, these soldiers are not as well trained as those who were at the beginning of the war and also now. the very idea of ​​the counterattack is that these fresh soldiers should have the opportunity to conduct this operation in cooperation with

professional military personnel who already have a lot of experience, general zaluzhnyi said that of course we cannot ideologically drive the front by force, because they demoralize the military personnel who are already there, and indeed this is a certain problem . when we talk about the difference in skills, there are certain threats from the russian army, in particular their plans to mobilize about 400,000 troops what do you think about that i think the problem is that even if they manage to do such a mobilization still putin must be must behave sensibly so he it will be necessary for him to show some progress, for which people are dying, this is actually the kremlin’s war machine . they have to convince people that there really is a need for such a wave of mobilization, but if the kremlin fails

to conquer bakhmut, it will really be very difficult to justify e-pop, considering the losses it bears the russian army will justify the next wave of mobilization if there is no victory achieved, and we also see that the wagner group is already exhausted, they sometimes do not cooperate well with the russian army as well another problem is the training for training ben some time ago people who are newly called to the front they have no green idea how to act on the battlefield because they did not have proper training and in fact they themselves can provoke danger for their fellows that's why they really need a lot of time five or six months, for sure, now we can think of predicting that people need

time to prepare , to get to the units and eventually to be sent to ukraine, therefore, this is how russia will mobilize and at a certain stage, putin will try to do it but i think that in the near future, in this future, they will not be able to do this and it will not affect the strategic planning of ukraine, ukrainian officials say that there is a possibility, and it is quite high, that ukraine will succeed in liberating crimea in the summer of 2023, what is your personal opinion with in this regard of course, a lot will depend on many factors that are not necessarily related to the military power of ukraine, it will also all depend on the supply of weapons from western partners

, the supply of tanks to poland will be very important gave a promise to provide its tanks, we know in what quantity, and that is why i think that the ukrainian army needs to have both the power and the weapons that will provide it with the west, in particular, and poland. also, we have already heard about the 29 fighter jets that were promised to ukraine, so it is very important that they be delivered as soon as possible reached ukraine , so now thinking about the counter-attack, we think we can assume that it will be approximately in the direction of zaporizhzhia in order to cut off the logistical contacts of the russians and in order to reach the crimea if the counter-attack is in in another city, i don't know how it can be successful, that is, there are so many

. if so, it's hard to predict something. but of course, the russians are preparing. they are really preparing . the last thing they are willing to sacrifice is crimea. it will be just a blow below the belt for them, so they will fight to the last soldier in order to protect crimea and prevent its liberation, therefore, from a geopolitical point of view, this is very, very important , because they have access to the black sea not only from a military perspective, but also from an economic perspective. this is very important for them important they have a lot of oil and accordingly they are sending, therefore they will not allow ukraine to become independent within the framework of the black sea. thank you. we were contacted by marina myron, a military analyst and research associate of the department of military studies of the king's college london, you are watching

the ukrainian version of the shortage weapons in russia moscow not only began to sell fewer weapons abroad, there are also terrorists in the regular army of the country, how and from where do russian generals replenish their military stocks, more about this, russia rapidly is losing its share in world arms exports this is evidenced by the data of a new study conducted by the stockholm institute for the study of peace problems, according to published information, against the background of the aggressive invasion of ukraine, the russian military machine began to sell much less of its own weapons abroad , russia's share in world arms exports decreased from 22% to 16, but if we compare it with last year, 2022, export deliveries from the aggressor country decreased by 1.3%. expert of the stockholm institute for the study of problems peace simon wezeman is convinced that this was influenced by the aggressive russian war in ukraine, it is quite likely that the invasion of

ukraine will further restrict russian arms exports , this is due to the fact that russia will give priority to the provision of its own armed forces, while the demand from other countries will remain low due to trade sanctions against russia and growing pressure from the us and its allies to refuse to buy russian weapons, this is proven by his recently released british intelligence data according to them due to a lack of ammunition of domestic production, the russian military command even ordered to open warehouses with ammunition that had previously been recognized as unfit for use in british intelligence claims that russia is increasingly applying the principles of command economy to its military-industrial complex because it recognizes that its defense production facilities are very vulnerable during the exhausting so- called special military operation, but even despite the lack of ammunition and, in some places , equipment, the russian military-political

leadership is preparing for a long war in to ukraine about this last week, during the hearings in the us senate, the director of national intelligence of the united states of america, avril gaines, informed that they predict that this year the russian military will recover enough to have significant territorial gains. but putin most likely expects that time is working in his favor and that the continuation of the war in particular, with possible pauses in hostilities will be the best way to finally secure russia's strategic interests in ukraine, even if it takes years, so the russians have to actively to import weapons from third countries, in particular from iran, according to recently published information, the islamic republic secretly sent two large boats to russia via the caspian sea, they transported about 100 million bullets and 300,000 shells, and this is in addition to the drones that official tehran actively sold

in russia last year and no matter how ridiculous it may seem, the russian military has lost so much weight that weapons and ammunition for it have to be bought even from north korea at the end of december last year us ambassador to the united nations linda thomas greenfield reported this in her statement in the united states can confirm that north korea has completed the initial delivery of weapons to the russian private military company wagner, which paid for the equipment and currently has thousands of troops deployed in ukraine last month. to russia, infantry missiles and rockets for use by the wagner company , but the leadership of china seems to have taken a break after the warning that sounded from the united states of america in beijing has decided that it is expedient not yet

to send weapons and ammunition to russia at least until the visit of the leader of the heavenly seat to moscow and his meeting with the president of the aggressor country vladimir putin, and the most important thing is that if the leadership of the aggressor country had not tried to replenish its military leaders at the pace of the purchase of weapons and ammunition, ukraine would have invaded against the background of a full-scale invasion , our country has become the world's third importer of weapons and, together with its allies and partners, continues to bring its own victory closer every day. military aid to russia, we will discuss this issue with john edward herbsht, director of the eurasian center of the us atlantic council and former ambassador of the united states to ukraine. therefore, russia wants to buy weapons anywhere in order to wage war in ukraine , in particular, they are even in contact with an asian country such as m' this is evidenced by intelligence data, will it be possible to involve

myanmar in the war against ukraine? in short, i don't know, but in general, it can be said that of course myanmar does not want to be affected by sanctions . what kind of sanctions do you mean? i am very many different sanctions that can be applied against myanmar , in particular with regard to participation in the global world international economy, we understand what the kremlin offers to such countries in exchange for the countries. of course, they may offer them some kind of help, that is apart from money, in fact, i am not sure what a collective measure can offer to those countries in return countries that, once again, are now hesitating whether to help russia. yes, there are countries

that already understand that there are such countries that are not facing any additional additional punishment for what they send the game is sent with the help of russia, of course, the sanctions regime is a very, very big incentive for countries not to enter this war, and that's why i think they are effective. therefore, punishment is the best tool now, the best way, but it works and there are indeed signs that the sanctions are working, you must heard that the ukrainian military shot down a chinese drone in the east of ukraine, what should be the reaction of our allies and is it possible to assume that china has already entered the war against ukraine? i would also separate

the concepts of supplying weapons and entering the war , because we understand that even russia supplies ukraine with weapons, this is the message about the drone that was shot down, it was american equipment with american components , and now the whole world is very carefully watching this situation and we will see what will happen , how can the war in ukraine be ended, and what methods are on the agenda of european diplomats, how they see the end is this a complete victory of kyiv and also the recovery of the situation in the occupied territories in what way or vice versa should we cede part of the territory of course we do not know, we know that ukraine's position
