[000:00:00;00] to explain the enemy, but some of them there are hundreds of meters broken, that is, the roads of the times, the bakhmut ravine, the kostyantynivka bakhmut road, they are under ukrainian control, and the enemy did not cross these roads, moreover, in their attempts, the gunpowder is very much exhausted and bears huge losses trying to either storm the city or advance in it direction and they stretched the field very much, and here we have to talk about the enemy's logistics problems , mr. volodymyr, which units are currently involved in the battles on the part of the russian army under bakhmut the area of ​​the so-called dnr personnel military and the russian federation are mobilized because earlier we heard that the wagnerites transferred to other directions who is there mostly now it is very difficult to say who specifically is there now in reality

well, when we were still performing tasks it was our svoboda battalion a-and there was the real him vinaigrette, that is, if until january 1 we understood that the goal of the occupation command with the forces of convicts and mercenaries and the private company of the jester er-e dictator er-e is to capture the city in order to spend the winter there and start large-scale this offensive, with which they scared the second marchers there, etc., then from january 1 they will be forced to use those units that were supposed to start this spring offensive , including on kyiv, a repeated uh-uh, and these units were again bloodied, these restored units suffered losses - it is now there and the remnants of these nagan prisoners, because the dreams are now there and the landing in the russian now there and some regular units and some certain

mechanized units are also there, but they are suffering losses as armored vehicles, well, in particular , the battalion of the freedom artillery of the fourth the frontline brigade destroyed several units of the enemy's military equipment, the enemy's equipment before well, in fact, the enemy is suffering huge losses, and because of this, they are forced to drop any combat-ready units that have different tactics of use . say the military about this visit. perhaps you or your comrades have seen each other in any case. the supreme commander-in-chief's visit is a personal example that in any case motivates every ukrainian soldier every soldier because, er, we show once again that the ukrainian army is an army

of volunteers, it is the army of a country that fights for its land , for its motherland, and we are not fighting for the ambitions of some tsar, not an emperor, not a dictator, and this is one a huge family, the ukrainian nation, which is fighting for its own future, for its freedom and independence , i heard you, volodymyr, thank you very much for taking the time to join the broadcast volodymyr nazarenko, deputy commander of the freedom battalion, lieutenant of the national guard, was with us on in direct communication, well, the representative of the white house and asked about national security in an interview with cnn said that the coming weeks of the war will be critical, according to jonakira, russia will try to carry out another offensive and possibly in different directions, therefore the white house wants to be convinced that ukraine will be able not only to defend themselves but also to conduct their own offensive operations at that time in that place and in that

size and on that scale that they choose mykhailo male of the expert center for the study of army conversion and disarmament joins to our broadcast, mr. mykhailo, can you hear me so well? good evening, thank you for joining , mykhailo. well, actually. and about the coming weeks of the war, which will be critical, we have repeatedly heard such forecasts. and here they are talking about the possibility of another offensive in different directions , which directions can to be a priority for a possible offensive of the russian army and why well , in fact, in order to carry out any offensives of russia, it is necessary to form an offensive group a-a, just like two months ago in the western press er-e there was a lot publications in which it was said that russia is preparing a large-scale offensive in several directions, ukrainian experts and analysts said that we do not see ukrainian

intelligence does not see offensive groups that could conduct operations in several directions. we only saw that russia is concentrating its forces in donbas in the bakhmut volodar direction on flint on avdiivka now the same thing is happening. that is, we can talk about the fact that there are russian troops in certain areas, it can be and er, for example er the territory of russia near kharkov, this could be the zaporizhia direction, this is the donbas, e.e., the zaporizhia region and the kherson region , but in fact it is not yet clear that these groups are formed for an offensive and these groups are ready to conduct operations, so for some tactical actions, we can say that these forces are sufficient but this is only for those actions that can demonstrate readiness for

an offensive and not actually conduct any operations , mr. mykhailo, you mentioned that one of the directions could be zaporizhzhia, just recently it became known the other day that the occupying authorities of parts of the zaporizhia region declared the city of melitopol its capital, so to speak, and british intelligence says that this may indicate that russia has recognized its own inability to capture zaporizhzhia. do you share this point of view? so to speak, what additional opportunities does he give to the occupying forces, if he does, of course, he does not give anything, and melitopol will be occupied until it is clearly a-a what russia has recognized or not recognized in principle, again, we look exclusively at there is a military aspect, there is an offensive group, there are sufficient forces, which means that russia can conduct operations here, and the fact that they declare the ukrainian population points of the city as their capitals - this, i think, is very temporary and it is absolutely against the law, and as for the inability

, more precisely, the recognition of the russian army that they are unable to seize zaporizhzhia to what extent do you agree with this interpretation of this granting of the status of the capital of melitopol? i think that these events are not connected in any way at all . russia has once again declared the city of zaporizhia its territory, they included this city in their sovereign territory, they constitutionally established their annexation, and the only way is to prevent occupation, i.e., countering it by military means, it doesn’t matter what they write, say or assign to themselves, the main thing is the occupation of ukrainian territory, and i think that this british intelligence will be carried out, it misses the fact that there are russian forces under fire here and it is beginning to weaken, although the situation of course remains difficult in the city , to what extent is this true according to your data, and is it actually possible that this may not be related

just because of the fact that the russian army is now trying to accumulate resources for a counteroffensive in other areas, as british intelligence predicts again, i don't think it has anything to do with it. i think it has to do with what really the army, and above all, the wagnerites are running out of resources, the ukrainian army carried out a heroic defense of the bahmut of other settlements in this area, we know that for more than six months, the wagnerite russian troops carried out simply hysterical attacks , trying to fulfill a personal order putin to occupy bakhmut and in this way take a step towards the occupation of the entire donetsk and luhansk regions. but they did not actually succeed, and president zelensky, who was in bakhmut today, personally, now has all the information, as well as the ukrainian commanders who are planning our contrasting

operations if russia somewhere uh, he plans uh , one or more offensive actions, they will be just as hopeless, since they have invested resources in bakhmut, because i doubt that they will be able to invest the same amount in any other in another direction 355 and they are from open sources you can understand that they were produced after the second world war and they will actually be the oldest on the front now and if you take into account what tanks are, well, it’s definitely not about technical characteristics but what role will they play in hostilities and whether there are possibilities. maybe in the russian army they can be modernized somehow. well, they can modernize, they can paint some beautiful picture there. i think that these will be limited to berlin, for example, it will

really fit this design. the fact is that there is two aspects, the first aspect is that they continue their mobilization, not on the same scale as they could, that is, according to various data, they mobilize about 20,000 people every month, but such a pace does not allow them to even compensate for their losses, but in any in any case, they are obviously trying to restore their losses in technology, and it is possible to form new parts and connections, and these tanks can go to the formation of not only the recovery of losses , but also the formation of new connections and parts, and on the other hand, another aspect, another trend - it the obvious trend is that all these statistical data, the data published by russia and other western analysts, including the fact that in russia there are 10,15,000 tanks, they are not realized, they have not been confirmed because according to the accounting journals, there were

15,000 tanks when they began to deconserve this equipment, it turned out that a large part of them, a large part of which had been boiled, could not even be restored, and therefore very quickly they ran out of t-72 stock very quickly ran out of t-62 stock and now they are switching to t-55 t54 indicates that there are really machines problems really when we uh, again, western analysts say that russia can fight at this pace for 3-5 years, it is obvious that nothing, statistically, according to the papers, maybe they could fight a name, it is possible and they will have enough but the equipment we exactly at this rate will not be enough if they have already begun to put into operation e-e tanks of the 1950s . the day before , they had a statement from the ministry of defense of bry . russia well, what exactly

the weapon is dangerous, they will generally regard it as the use of a dirty nuclear bomb. and why didn’t the russians, the russian army , said in the kremlin , why are they so actively opposed to the use of such ammunition in ukraine ? e ammunition will definitely become deadly and one projectile one tank let's say that the statistics will be like this and on the other hand - this is a traditional e-e myth of russian propaganda that they use in honor of the times of the iraqi company of the american e-e yugoslav company e when e united the states used such munitions at that time. russian propaganda dispelled the myth that the use of such munitions leads to radioactive contamination of the territory and mass cancer. there were some physiological data about millions of hundreds of thousands of people who got cancer. there is absolutely no confirmation of this since the time of yugoslavia. seven more cancer companies were not found, absolutely found, there is

absolutely no scientific confirmation, and they took this myth, now refreshed it and started to disperse at the same time by adding another aspect that it seems that it is already approaching some nuclear limit and so on is completely delusional. that is, it is simply the core of the projectile made of solid material according to uranium. it has absolutely nothing to do with nuclear materials. of course, it has nothing to do with dirty or clean nuclear weapons, that's why even putin repeated this propagandistic cliché about it in english, but it is completely disconnected from reality. the first and disarmament were in direct contact with us. well and russia will not for the first time consider depleted uranium as

a dirty nuclear weapon, in particular, similar statements were heard at the end of january during the security forum in vienna, he mocked the russian delegation at it , instead of the probable russia itself is not against using depleted uranium ammunition, my colleague olga will tell you more about this menyushina first on delenina square in the jubilee parade takes part in the deeply modernized tank t-72 r3m, this is a modern tank completely manufactured by russian production 9 may 2020, in the russian city of novosibirsk, there is a t-72b3m that drives along the main street of the city. it has a smooth-bore gun

that allows the use of armor-piercing sub - caliber projectiles of the lead type. press conference with a chinese colleague as a response to a statement from great britain that it is ready to transfer to ukraine such shells with depleted uranium for challenger 2 tanks the last ukrainian was not put in words, but i would like to note in this connection that if all this will happen, then russia will be forced to react in a corresponding way. do they use depleted uranium and is it really as dangerous as the russian authorities say? depleted uranium is a byproduct of the production of enriched uranium

. this material has high density and strength. it is used only in the core of the projectile, and the shell is made of a lighter material, as noted in the profile edition of defense express, the depleted uranium tip has the ability to self-sharpen when penetrating the armor of an enemy tank, when the tip is rubbed into the armor, self-igniting dust with uranium particles is created, and this also increases the impact power uranium from there does not have high radioactivity, although it is considered toxic and carcinogenic, its greatest danger is for people who were in direct contact with dust from of a projectile when it hits the armor, the arguments of russian officials, these projectiles are harmful to the environment and human health, counter-arguments are presented in the svoboda ranok program by a member of the specialized committee

of the verkhovna rada cynically hearing from their ministry of foreign affairs that they are worried about health of our citizens in that it will affect us after they almost every day carry out missile attacks every day and artillery hits our civilian objects in our population center because for ammunition it is simply ammunition with a core that has a high penetration capability of the same armor. it is very hard and does not contain any radioactive or depleted uranium. it does not pose any threat. the american institute for the study of war believes that the u.s. seeks to introduce the provision of depleted uranium shells as an escalation to deter military aid to ukraine. despite the fact that these projectiles do not contain any fissile or radiological material olga armenian

radio svoboda new business and new political ambitions viktor medvedchuk former national mp of the leading faction of psg established two networks of gas stations in russia. my colleagues from the project of the scheme have found out that the oil business remains one of the most profitable in the russian federation despite the sanctions, so the medvedchuk family will not lack money. well, considering the desire of the former leader of the psg to develop a new political movement in russia, they it will take a lot of maksym savchuka from the project scheme, the author of the investigation about medvedchuk's new business joins maksym's broadcast hello , i congratulate you, show in more detail what kind of business medvedchuk actually has now in russia. what did you do? find out good evening. we managed to find out that the management of medvedchuk's company in september of last year became the owner of a company

that owns two networks of car gas stations in the territory of russia, this is the ltk network that operates in the territory of the lipetsk region and also the new stream network that operates in the tyumen region, we can say that , in general, these two networks, if you add up the total number of these gas stations, it will be 33 gas stations, and thus we can see that the oil business of medvedchuk, which dates back to 2014 when his family bought the plant and then got the oil field. now he actually has points of sale of these petroleum products, they are most likely intended for the domestic market. and they are local, but in principle we can say that they are links of the same chain , that is, now medvedchuk can say that i have such a cycle from extraction to processing and now the sale of petroleum products on

the territory of the russian federation. let's take a closer look at these newly discovered structures . also owns all gas stations under the ltk brand, lubi has a fuel company, but there is also a more powerful network of gas stations of the ray project in the utyumen and kurgan regions. there are 26 gas stations and they operate under the brand new flow. thus , we established after a full-scale invasion and the exchange of viktor medvedchuk for ukrainian defenders, he stated about the creation of a new political movement simultaneously with this, the structures related to the business of his family began to expand and master new markets, and medvedchuk himself convinces that it is not a problem, it is right without citizenship without money

вы просто вот россии есть бизнес есть деньги i continue to be a human being and so, in this way, we can talk about the following every time viktor medvedchuk starts a political project, announces its creation, and immediately there are some new businesses that can be said to become such a feeder for we know the financing of this political project in 2019, before he joined the pro-life party and the parliament in ukraine, he had an oil field and an oil refinery this time and we again i was guided by logic, if medvedchuk has a new political project called the second ukraine, it is being created somewhere on the territory of the russian federation, then it is obvious that it is worth looking for a new business, and this time we again found a business that was not known about yet, and it is obvious that this includes the funds received from it will be used to finance a new pro-russian political project of putin

's godfather maksym . my colleague from the scheme project was in direct contact with us, thank you, and then ihor reityrovych joins the broadcast, political scientist , candidate of political sciences mr. igor my greetings , how can you hear me, good evening. security of ukraine arrested him, the majority of ukrainian experts agreed that medvedchuk himself would not want to go to russia, he himself would want to be exchanged, he was talking so much that he had shattered the hopes of the russian federation for an easy full-scale invasion that he will have trouble there, but as it turned out in russia , he is not just feeling well, he is also trying to continue his political activities there, whether in a party or a political movement, the other ukraine. and why

were mostly ukrainian experts wrong in their forecasts, in your opinion? i think this is not about a mistake anymore. the point is that we ukrainians , as always, try to think rationally , we make certain logical conclusions , we compile the data we have and, based on this, we form certain models or son of arya and according to this logic , of course, there could not be any continuation of medvedchuk's career in russia, because he really did everything possible and there were clearly many complaints both from the special structures of russia and directly, well, probably putin his immediate environment, but another factor worked here, which we keep forgetting about, although it is very positive, probably for ukraine .

promote this pro-russian agenda and try to create some kind of alternative to that government, the active and absolutely legitimate democratic authorities in ukraine , except for medvedchuk and those people who are one way or another connected with him, they made some small attempt to pull out again yanukovych and several of his henchmen who fled to russia, but the situation there is even worse than with bydvychuk. because i understand that this person cannot even be released to the public now, because it will simply lead to colossal failures and therefore they again have honey left as something to weave, explain. tell that it was not he who messed everything up in ukraine, but it was the united states of america, the european union, the world, some world, some language there, and so on , they actually spoke out against him and against the russian federation, and that is why he was in once again they pulled it out because there is such a good saying in the russian language, well, the fish

is the cancer of the fish, and here this moment worked . to the investigation of your colleague. this was very well stated as they described it there in the comments, that is, ordinary russians understand it even better than representatives of the authorities, but the authorities believe that some alternative project should still be implemented, especially since money was found for it. russia is a rich country , the truth is not for its own sake citizens, but only for those who are close to the government and are publicists of this government. well, that's why they decided to launch such political projects in parallel with the military campaign. well, and find some money for so that these projects could be financed and accordingly implemented in practice, sir, you mentioned that the russian audience does not accept medvedchuk at all, they call him a traitor to both ukraine and russia, that he failed all of russia's plans in ukraine, but then why is he in the kremlin and he is needed for the domestic audience , are they still not abandoning plans in the kremlin

to somehow influence the ukrainian audience through medvedchuk? i am not even thinking so much about the influence on the ukrainian audience if he again they don't care that he has some influence in ukraine. well, it's funny, actually, it looks more like an attempt to keep him, you know, in reserve in case they start reformatting or changing something in the temporarily occupied territories , playing some games with some local governments there i don’t know if it’s a representation , most likely it’s done for this, well, in principle, every case will be. maybe it will be needed for something, on the other hand, i do not rule out that the same putin is kept absolute and paranoid goal to capture at least two-thirds of ukraine, to put some kind of puppet in power there, and of course medvedchuk is perfectly suited to this. and this is such a candidate who would be ready to carry out everything possible, any orders that came from moscow and its alternatives for

by and large, and i emphasize this once again, russia currently has no other people who could be at least publicly tried to make them say something more or less normally and try to make them to mold hypothetically some future government of ukraine, that is why i think that putin has this goal somewhere deeply stored, maybe not deep in the depths of his soul, and he believes that sooner or later it will somehow be realized , and therefore it is necessary to have a person just in case, so that later this person don't search and don't think and who to put well, instead of what i am doing in the temporarily occupied territories, we see what percentage of ukrainians are ready to cooperate with the russians, it's not that there within the limits of statistical error, he prays miserably there are literally several dozen people there, and some of them were openly pro-russian before, and here is a bigger question , probably for all of us, well, ukrainians, and the government, not this one , not at all , to different ones.

attention to this, on the one hand, there is a certain logic, we, a democratic state, had the right to express this, on the other hand, it turned out that those people who now fled to russia or became traitors, well, they were engaged in openly anti-state activities, and of course it was it would be better to bring them to justice much earlier, by the way, these are all the people you mention, and they will create a company or maybe even bring the same azarov and yanukovych to this new political movement, they can do it, i i don't think that they will bring me to the movement, because you need to know more about medvechuk, when he became involved and responsible in ukraine for the implementation of this pro-russian policy, he became such an open hand of the kremlin. he did everything in order to destroy on this field even well, the minimum of any possible competitors so that no one would question his leadership and so on. well, it’s just that a person still thinks very highly of himself, considers himself to be smart, some kind of lawyer, a leader, concretely , the future president of ukraine, he once

seriously thought about it and was going to install well, install and therefore in this context, well, you can't usually pull someone up, but look, a long time has passed since the creation of this movement was announced, well, a few weeks as minimum, maybe even more, and in fact no other actions took place after that, so i do not rule out that he will just be sporadically pulled out of this pocket, he will make some statement somewhere, and again everyone will shove him in that pocket. well, understand one very simple thing that in fact all this is decided not in the kremlin in some offices and not in a studio. but all this is decided on the battlefield and our armed forces decide to clarify and add that these are his plans to create a new political movement. he said about him that at the end of january, that is, in fact

, for four months, he announced that he would then unite zelenskyi's opponents and debunk the myth of monolithicity and his support. it sounded like this . during these four months, nothing happened in ukrainian politics, they also did not feel any return, so to speak, of medvedchuk, maybe because of the politicians here in ukraine, well, those politicians who were somehow connected with him now, how are the devils incensed by him, and they are pretending that they are great patriots, a large part of which were actually his henchmen, they fled from ukraine, they have already been deprived of their citizenship or deprived of their deputyship, those who used to be in the same political force, they are now pretending that it was a mistake, they don't have any kind of relationship with him and so on , so the only reason we noticed it was, well, it was a small wave, it was such and such, you know, the jeans were paid for, which were released in anonymous telegram channels to draw attention to that you know the article that he wrote, and i specifically looked at them because of my profession , i have to do it, even some such anonymous telegram channels, i don’t know if they took money or not, i guess they took money for this
