[000:00:00;00] uh, go through and close the so-called there quickly, and they haven’t called it there yet. well, the surrounding area is uh, a ring, and that’s why they couldn’t go to the chrome one, we beat them back from there, even a guy, some of them went out there for their first paybacks, what are they there, these worms were dug up in a row and they switched all their forces and throw again to the southeast there. as you can see, such a pincer is moving from below, and there it is aligned along the line along korsunska street. the cook already admits what you are doing, suddenly my boys will be surrounded by the chobins. here they are, now you are imagining that a blow to their tick is in the southeast, where they can get surrounded, and they already

have it there, and so if you know, they do not know what what to do with this, or the six-month contract with the prisoners that they signed they thought that everything would quickly end by this time, but how do you see the defense forces led by your commander and the commander of the ground forces and the syrian general and the diligent and our president volodymyr oleksandr zelenskyy gave to make them implement these plans to capture the fortress city and advance further, that is, no to what administrative borders donetskia does not even dream of, because they cannot mercilessly take even the bakhmutka river, that is why they had some successes there, they came from the southeast er-er today er- at night, they seized several five-story buildings there and advanced along the street, but our guys launched a counterattack - this is, of course, the 93rd brigade and the third assault detachment , that is, we also knocked out their inhabitants and even

knocked them out even deeper, that is, the map is not here reflects for today's moment that perhaps it is even said and you look, we even took them out of the fields and they again found themselves in the operational space for our aviation for our birds who correct and guide , so i noticed that the situation in bahmut is difficult at the moment , but controlled and in the future, that is, as of sunday, the most intense phase yes, the assault that continues in waves after waves continues, but we were able to cope with their rhubarb and defeat them, and there to dispose of the already considerable strength of those assault units of theirs and paratroopers and firemen, mr. petre would like to ask you about the psychological importance of the visits of alexander the syrian and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky for our soldiers, how it is perceived by the soldiers , i will tell you once again that i already said that when

the general himself came and he came more than once, not twice, not three times, here we are now we can see on the video how president volodymyr oleksandrovich zelensky himself arrived today, this is an extraordinary event , no one likes the president, especially that bunker dwarf has never done such a thing in his life and will not dare to do such a thing, not to mention our the president has come and presents awards to our real heroes, fighters who are in that hot spot and defend our state, and it is bakhmut who holds the so-called sky over this country of ours, the so-called peaceful one, he gives people in kyiv and lviv and in the same in the dnipro and in poltava and in other regions, they lived a more or less peaceful life. that is why it was a great morale boost for our soldiers when general horzhny came

. sir petre, i would like to ask you about the offensive momentum or potential of the enemy, so we understand that our fighters stopped the enemy, our fighters did the impossible. i do not know which army in the world could stop the onslaught of manpower, that is, under the conditions of extremely powerful enemy artillery, our fighters did it and are hopes or at least there are certain cautious forecasts that the enemy may run out of offensive potential, but in these situations one would not like to refer to certain british or american experts if in we have our active officers, mr. petar, i will tell you that, uh, everyone succumbed to the so-called panic after you know the solidarity and how they broke through the rapids, they had a breakthrough

through klichchivka to the kostiantynovka-bakhmut highway and in the north where they passed at the top of yagidna there were panicky moods, but not among our soldiers and not among our officers, commanders who are here in the cities, there were panics among various telegram-bloggers eh, even western ones surnames, you all know what they said bakhmut for two days, get out, get out, that's all, that's all. why, because the syrian general came, the same ours, they weighed it all , looked at the messages that bakhmut must be kept , that's why i'll tell you. army and you are right somewhere but it is so deep in everyone and this is what is encouraging us here that they

are really exhausting those powerful attacks that took place even here literally three sundays ago so i will say that there is hope and we are preparing maybe now it will dry out a little more and then they will feel all the power that we have prepared for them. well, everything will be fine. god grant that everything will be fine, mr. peter. i would also like to ask you about the specifics of the enemy's use of heavy armored vehicles in the battles for bakhmut, in particular , what is the current situation with the artillery from on both sides of the front, i will tell you that we now have, well, they still have an advantage in barrel artillery, all that remains is an advantage in their numbers, that is , one to ten, one to 12. yes, they are, but we would are accurate and we prevail over them because y

we have our artillery and all our means of impression are in more advantageous positions. that is, it is a ravine of time and this entire ridge. as you will find there on the map, if you look, we keep this entire line of their offensive under a constant barrage of fire, and therefore our fire impressions are well, right on the map, you can see how much more effective their projectile discharges are, it’s not clear where, because their copters , too, it’s difficult to climb even higher to see what we shoot down there even on approach , that’s why he goes, we’ve learned to fight, we ’ve adapted to them the prevailing one in number and their goats, precisely in the number of human beings, are slowly being leveled by our skillful, dynamic, dynamic defense of our defense, because it concerns the tanks, so they are pulling up the tanks, but the tanks are , if you look to the very east, behind the bakhmutka river, they are trying to pull

up the tanks streets where everything has already been destroyed, but they are located somewhere in our information, somewhere around 800 m , there is already full visibility, some movement, i will tell you more here, such a funny video is walking , we are already waiting, and the echelons have already gone there t-54 this is serious, i.e. the t-34s have already finished, the tanks of the victory parade left after the fourth stalinist well , i don’t know. i will honestly tell you this. well, this is a kind of fire support, so we hope that soon these graves will appear in the line of our fire and will literally burn like matches, mr. peter. please tell me why, in your opinion, the enemy

is using t-54 in the direction of bakhmut it has already come to that, but in in the direction of the example of the luhansk region of flint, 90, in particular, modernized models, why such and such a variation goes to the enemy , the explanation is simple, look there, they are there, they have them there, if you know the internal confrontation between the cook and that alcoholic, gerasim, and the reindeer herder , hmm, how this minister of theirs, if his, well, yes, even the surnames , well, i'm sorry, they started an internal struggle between themselves, yes, i will be able to or not. and there they also participated in ugledar. you know, they went there . there are no more of us left, and so on bakhmut always something, they cut down the stories and the cook with it. forever there, he lacks ammunition, you know, he lacks heavy equipment, and

they decided to throw in the so-called heavy equipment, well, let's see, 54 years ago. bakhmut, to be honest, fulfills his role of grinding all that what are they sending there? they just don't have it at the moment to remove the t-90 breakthroughs , the modernized t-72s and transfer them to the mahput because they understand perfectly well what they will lose and that's why i will honestly tell you that there are such situations that they're just uh they are destroying each other and this is in our hands, but peter, accordingly, we would like to ask for your cautious forecasts in general for the large spring company in donbas. well, what can i tell you, we are not all waiting for me, but the main blow will be from the weather, you know that in donbas there

there are not so many roads left on which you can drive, so everyone is waiting for the soil to dry well, because the soil in donbas is special . it is not just chernozem , i will tell you. like concrete or asphalt it becomes if it dries well, that is why we value our wheeled equipment, which was provided to us, and tracked equipment, and all this is, in principle , cautious forecasts, and we are exhausting the enemy on ambushes, but if we move on to more specific actions, then i think that the counteroffensive will be successful because general zaluzhny, after all, a lot of people are already writing. if you know, he lost and the two of them are two prominent generals , general zaluzhny. i read general syrskyi - they will go down in history as gods of war because

they did not sacrifice like zhukov there and vatutine by the way, ukrainians are a criminal victim, but if that’s the case, let’s dig into history, on the contrary, they are building an active defense very competently, and we will win from this, so let ’s be patient and wait a little. somehow stretch thank you, mr. peter, we look forward to seeing you on our next broadcast of espresso petro voloshchenko stone , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine is currently on the bakhmut direction , an exhaustive, clear, concise analysis it is extremely important to move on, the united states of america expects that the coming weeks of the war will be critical, as russia will try to advance again, and possibly in different directions , this was said by the representative of the white house on national security issues, john kirpy, who is quoted in this article. herbie said that the last

weeks will be critical in the war. the united states expects that russian president vladimir putin will try to launch another offensive, possibly in different directions, and we must make sure that we do everything possible so that ukraine is ready for this in touch with us is roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine, congratulations mr. roman, glory to ukraine , glory to the heroes, petro voloshchenko stone, a military serviceman who is in the direction of bakhmut, was just in touch with us and he gave an extremely sober clear analysis without any panic, but kirby warns of a possible attempt by the enemy to increase the offensive impulse, how in general you see the situation with a potential new with a potential the new russian wave and, accordingly, if

it is possible to talk about it, then what would be its main features ? well, i spoke about it earlier, i think and in january and february and adhere to the same opinion and speaking with our intelligence, including analyzing what they say and our partners and the russian federation that everyone is now waiting for good spring weather in order to try to make another strike and in general, we are not talking about any specific counteroffensive, but about a spring and summer campaign where , taking into account the weather conditions and most of the world today, russia will try to counterattack and will try to improve its position, this applies to this territory of donbas, because this is, let's say, no one, they have not set themselves the goal of completely capturing the administrative borders of the luhansk and donetsk regions, this is still a promising direction for them , which is not promising and the desired direction

is the same, and the zaporizhia direction is also important for them, because they understand that it is also important for us as a direction for a counterattack that threatens them in the event of our success there well and uh i would talk about some auxiliary direction this is the third it can be joint or from some other direction for that russia will be preparing. they will definitely not go on the defensive . they are currently in such an active phase when they are trying to push our troops and in the future they will still try to advance on the territory and try

to capture them, mr. roman, but when it comes to the potential of the enemy to open several more directions for the offensive, as their assessments of this differ greatly, someone is too optimistic about the situation, they say well, if they cannot push through and capture bakhmut, they are unlikely to be able to do something that will radically change the situation and in other directions on the other hand on the other hand, we understand that the military-industrial complex of the russian federation continues to work and work quite effectively in the given realities, the military potential of the russian federation yes, they have old weapons there, but they are still powerful and we we can see that they, except for those armed forces that they had, they managed to mobilize another 300,000 e-e mobilized, it was just announced, but they do not have mobilization, but they raise old tanks there, including the t-62 , and they e-

this is what we see in bakhmut. and in general, in the eastern direction and in the south , during the winter, they practically did not use their military equipment, tanks, including one attack on vugledar, which ended miserably for them. we remember how other forces of defense destroyed a large number of 155 - th brigade of marines, but we talked with the military. it seems that they kept it and we think that they kept it for the spring company in order to use it in offensive battles. therefore, we have to proceed from what they are talking about. even our partners are the same americans that you said that those months will be decisive. i believe that this is so because the enemy will try to attack here and there , the threat is different

. take your territories and the main thing here is to find the right place, and when we talk about three directions, this is usually a classic military approach, i take several directions for the offensive, and then in which one there is success, they then develop it with the help of the transfer of reserves and er, and building up forces exactly in the direction in which there is success - this is a classic, so expect that they don't have enough resources right now. we can't. they now outnumber us in all types of weapons. tanks, artillery , rocket launchers, etc. weapons we don't have yet, these are long-range missiles, we mean the mileage that they fly, their aircraft have more , that's why they still have a great potential. about the enemy, this army is advancing at this time and we are talking about bakhmut. this is a small area, we have more than a thousand kilometers of front there. well

, bakhmut is 100 km away, and that one is less and where they are more active, but their main forces are now are on the defensive and are accumulating, so we must understand that there is a threat and prepare for the fact that the enemy will become more active. well, actually , mr. roman, we wanted to ask you about the help , the really unplanned areal help that our allies provided us, so, well, we don't want to make public anything that the enemy could get, but if in general, in particular, what concerns our capabilities , how much they have now been strengthened thanks to the help of the united states and the european union, it is so difficult to say i do not know about the number of these or that i do not know did they arrive or how many bradley infantry fighting vehicles did they arrive, but this one does not need to be announced

because the enemy will suddenly eavesdrop. the fact that they can, for example, attack or activate in the near future because the enemy understands that time is not in their favor , equipment is coming to us, weapons are coming to us, if they delay, then they will have to deal with more eh from the army more saturated with modern weapons, so they will try to take some actions for themselves now, to go to some of the indicated boundaries, so that it would be better for them to introduce further hostilities as far as we are concerned. well, really, we are gradually getting a test and i hope that all these weapons will make it to the to come, but it may also be necessary to understand that the deadlines are short for training the crews of the machines, it is difficult and our military is doing this in order to master them

not at the level, as they say, of landing, but in order to change them and use them. well, the main component when we talk about the offensive er counteroffensive well, the defense when we talk about the counteroffensive of the enemy, after all , who would not have said in this war it is er artillery and missile systems of volley fire and we now have a situation yes our partners there help us. we get some ammunition there, but at this time we have it alternately, uh , soviet-type ammunition, we understand that the russians have much more of them, at that time there are many barrels that we sometimes cannot use there, yes, because there is no ammunition, that's why here we should receive no only ammunition and the same 155-caliber howitzers in general, artillery systems , so i think that the counteroffensive will begin when we see that we have enough forces

to ensure the offensive and support of our units. well, at least to the depth there brigade level and on the fronts, i don't know which one will be determined by the head of the armament is coming we are preparing brigades and offensive brigades, this is the guards of the offensive, and i will not say separately that we have a sufficient number of brigades, we are currently undergoing training, transferring well, someone on soviet models, someone on the latest weapons, and i think that there is already the beginning of such er, they don’t say. and what will they say that we are something, and look, i will say yes, the beginning of spring is precisely in terms of weather conditions, eh, we will be ready as well for yes, first of all, to repulse the enemy and the same for possible actions. when they are, it will be a decision directly by the head of the command and the supreme command

. let's concentrate a little on the contact line in the south of our country. zaporizhzhia hit there are dead people and injured people in residential buildings. well, the first question in your opinion is, is it still according to their logic to study the enemy's rear or is it ordinary terrorism, but in fact , no one knows the logic of the russians, we see that rockets are aimed at civilians infrastructure in residential buildings, and this is not only today. but constantly, if we are talking now about zaporizhzhia, where they actually carry out terrorist acts, er, kherson, almost every day, my rocket is here, there, every day, of course, barrel artillery, er, and rocket

systems shell every place day civilians are dying, and there probably two weeks ago, when i was there, there was just one atb working there, they opened it so that the people who are there could at least provide themselves with some kind of food, but they are directly shooting from rockets from artillery systems at it shop and there were also killed, knowing that there are civilians, they are still hit there, because they don't mind going to zaporizhzhia . in your opinion, this shelling and several previous ones are somehow related to perhaps activation of deprivation on the line of contact directly possible possible we see that the weather is already starting to help. i think that they are preparing and we and our troops are also understanding, so we will watch again . well, all that the russian federation is doing, all the blows are an attempt to intimidate the local population. well , to break the spirit of our e-armed forces. well, and some

attempt to hit some military forces i don't know what they're looking for in the city, uh, some kind of anger, no, no, for not being able to win on the battlefield, and they shoot at things that can fly further , but at the same time, not to touch them and so that no answer arrives. well, somewhere approximately yes, you can say, mr. romani, we would like to ask you, maybe information has already appeared in which position the lieutenant general of the heroes of ukraine, mr. zabrodskyi, will now work. yes, who drafted the mandate and left the committee. is this still closed information? look at me for sure. i have rumors. i haven't said anything lately. it's clear that he's somewhere in his direction . he works at the general staff. he didn't work. there are rumors. i think they already talked about them there. someone said the deputy chief of staff. someone else said something like that. i think we're waiting directly when. there will be an appointment to understand well, where specifically it will be on well, but i definitely think that

he will strengthen some direction and uah 500 billion. so to speak, it will now be redistributed , we would ask you to clarify, maybe there is information in which way this financial power will be concentrated, in particular on the needs of the armed forces of the national guard of ukraine and not only there, the numbers are specific. i only know that 530 billion 300 billion goes to the armed forces directly to ensure the collection of weapons, part of it goes to the main directorate of intelligence and part of it to the service security of ukraine well, at least 500 million , if i'm not mistaken, he goes to the foreign intelligence service, that's why this distribution will be approximately, mr. roman. well, i can't ignore his attention

. crimea has been loud there lately. that the enemy's logistics in the south are under a very big question, it is difficult for them, they say, if you look soberly at the situation, do they really have problems with this now, well, you need to know directly, well, our intelligence also stated that there were destroyed missiles, caliber, well, we should probably trust our intelligence, i definitely don’t have it myself, i don’t see it, but if you believe in our report , that they were really hit. is a node that was directly used in order to deliver ammunition

and military weapons to the left bank of the kherson region after the crimea and my great masses could have thrown it over, now it will be necessary to change the logistics and generally understand how it will go , so if it is really so and it is damaged, then i think there are some problems and with this they will now try to adjust it for some time -somehow, or with the help of automobile technology, there is no other way, or they would quickly try to repair the railway tracks, finally, mr. roman, we would like you to give, so to speak , a not-so-secret assessment of the enemy's fortifications, yes, because there are also pyramids there they set up, in particular, in the south, dig trenches, mine trenches and so on, but the question is if a military person would evaluate it . so, mr. colonel, how seriously did they prepare? is it, so to speak, just tactical things that are added to their main fortification structure now for

the defense of the crimea and for the defense of the left bank. this is the dnipro river, these are the structures, well, let's say this is a natural obstacle, which, well, what is the biggest of them now protects us, as well as us, from the south , because the river is now being forced, well, hmm, it's quite difficult, everything else is engineering barriers. indeed, they must be calculated in a specific direction, even pyramids, yes, they must be fenced off, and if they are still in front of them or behind them, there are mini m-m fields, then this must also be taken into account, that is, they perform their own function, we do not have - we don't have to ignore it well, of course, now i already have the means that allow us to remotely even make passages in such fortifications, and we have them, that's why i say it is necessary specifically. in this direction, when planning , all this is taken into account in our sappers with this are working thank you, colonel, for this brilliant analysis of both the current

and the strategic situation in which our troops are roman kostenko, people's deputy of ukraine, secretary of the verkhovna rada committee on national security, defense and intelligence, colonel of the security service of ukraine well, the ministry of defense of the russian federation stated that yesterday the attack on the monastery of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate in odesa is the destruction of two hangars with weapons and military equipment of the ukrainian army ; three-guided missiles shot down two of them our forces of anti-aircraft defense, the third one hit the building of the men's monastery of the uoc mp, this is a three-story building where the priests' cells are located, then four people asked for help. well, that's the crooked mirror of the russians. and i invite you
