[000:00:00;00] is running out of strength, because they thought that they would take bahmut in a month, but it's already the third month. already the second phase is going to bahmut and everything did not go according to their plan, so we will wait for good news from our side, because right now there is a fierce battle in bahmut i won’t say it. are they attacking our counterattacks? everyone will find out in a couple of days . but right now, where i call it, the signal is red in the middle of the bahmut and very hellish battles are going on right now. from that what can we talk about on the air, about the specifics of those battles, on which specifics, specifics, one they storm the premises where we are occupied or

they are not occupied, these houses, then they ask to go there in groups for this purpose, we have intelligence that reports to the artillerymen to the mortarmen , they work out everything where do they go i even pass all the premises where we are not there, when they enter, er, they stay there already, er, civilians, in particular , there are still some numbers in bakhmut , and the only hope for them is to leave in case after all, they will mature to this decision, it is correct to turn to the military well, to be honest with you, i did not see more than one civilian , eh, the day before yesterday, eh, i left bahmut, so i did not see it there. so, it is very dangerous to walk there or go out anywhere, because there are constant flies

and if you went out even there to smoke somewhere, you can be ordered not to return. all that we came under the control of bakhmut , i did not see civilians, and to leave from there , i think it is already impossible even for civilians, because the military is also very it is difficult to get in and out of the city of andrii if we talk about the so-called russian fire fighters, what has happened to them in their group, how actively are they being used, or rather, russian interventionists are now using cadre groups, at the moment we are here, what we see is that the cadre military are going there, they are engaged in the assault, the wagners are already passing there and they are left to hold this defense , namely, with assault actions, this is already professional military

work. thank you, mr. andriy andriy babichev, youtube, a serviceman of the 93rd brigade, kholodny yar, was in touch with us. well, different assessments of the situation in bakhmut are obvious. thank you mr. andriy , i would like to quote the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, a fragment of his interview in the usa and tedpress, he is convinced that the armed forces will not win if the armed forces do not win the battle for bakhmut on ukraine will be under pressure to find unacceptable compromises and with the russian aggressor, if he is the president of the aggressor country, vladimir putin will feel some blood, he will feel that we are weak, he will press press press according to the words of the president, if bakhmut falls, putin will sell the victory of the west to his chinese and iranian society, the president emphasized that in the event of a defeat in the city of bakhmut, ukrainian society would feel it and push for a compromise, but at the moment he

does not feel such pressure, just yesterday the commander of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi said that the russian invaders will not stop trying to seize the city of bakhmut on in donetsk, the task of ukrainian forces is to exhaust the enemy and inflict heavy losses on the eastern group of troops of the armed forces of ukraine . on the bakhmut direction, the invaders tried dozens of times to storm the positions of the ukrainian defenders. and before that, the number of assaults fluctuated up to fifty . we control the enemy, we understand the directions of his actions , we understand his plan, we know our forces and the means we count on, we know that we have enough of them to hold the line in the throne of the front and the armed forces in general managed to stabilize the situation in the bakhmut area, well , the occupiers began to prepare for holding elections in the temporarily occupied territories

of the zaporizhzhia region, they have already registered branches of russian parties and created fake last election commissions. this was reported by the head of melitopol , ivan fedorov, offices and a representative office of the russian federation party appeared in the occupied place, and the deputy of the traitor halytskyi became the russian political technologists who organize and control the whole process. this is also an extremely eloquent signal. and now we turn to the battles in donbas, vitaly barabach, the head of the lviv city military administration, contact us glory to ukraine, mr. vitaly, congratulations to the heroes , congratulations well, what would we ask of you to tell about the situation in avdiivka and mariinka, well, frankly speaking, in the last two days, something has somehow changed a little bit , the number of shelling has decreased both on the positions and on the city and the number of anti-aircraft strikes

as well, well, many times has decreased, but there are fewer assaults. what does this mean? well, i don’t know yet, it’s not clear . of course, most likely, they are accumulating bulls somewhere, because there is information that our guys there are working very well on the tolams, let ’s say that they have they are a certain trouble with logistics, is it just a special one , let’s say, you know, an imitation of some kind of elegant famine, during which our many experts have been saying for a very long time. then some kind of serious massed such a long-term e-e such activity uhu tell me, please, fuel vitaliy, what are the dynamics

of the enemy’s movement along the e-e trajectory of these e-e ticks that they are trying to organize in the avdiivka area, they were talking just now with bahmut it was supposedly possible to stabilize those paws around the settlement. how do you have an assistant? they have been there for almost a week. how did they manage to have some success? they did not have any success from the north of the city. how did they stop at those positions? well yes, kamenyka, here and there , they can't do anything, uh, krasnohorivka is trying to storm the kamenka, but they can't do anything at all, that is, i also state that they managed to stabilize and advance in general, there is no attempt

to storm, we don't do anything the situation with enemy armored vehicles available and destroyed by our military, how actively does the enemy use heavy armor? well, about 50 percent of all assaults that take place are carried out with the support of armored vehicles . that they went on the attack with the cover of four punks of one bpp, all five units were destroyed in one battle, mr. vitaly, now avdiyivka is closed to visiting journalists, volunteers in particular , and it is supposed that no one but anyone can enter the city according to the law enforcement officers, and authorized persons, of course, the military, and as with mobile communication , you noted in one of your comments that it will be turned off in order to minimize this moment of correction and aiming at the city, or is it possible that this is related

to the reduction of fire in the city in particular it is connected with this factor. and i am not sure that you know it so directly, it became an investigation that there were fewer shellings of the city, if it was connected, then there would be, let's say , there would be fewer flights in the city, and in terms of position, it would- there would be no changes, but we see that if a few days ago there were relatively speaking 30-40 shellings per day in the city, then last day there were only 12 in positions , 300-350 per day, and almost two days in a row there even and there is no such thing as a mobile phone account. it works. before , we turned it on. the generator was turned on there for an average of 8 hours in the morning . then it worked for another 3-4 hours

. they kept the batteries on the mobile tower. communication and then at night there was almost no communication in the morning we started the generator and let's just say it happened every time now we, uh, for now we support mobile communication, uh , a little bit smaller well, we cut it almost in half, we turn on the generator for 4 hours in the morning, well, for now , it will be in this mode uh next, we'll look at the fact that the city is closed, it's really closed for the press, only the military, let's say, the press services have the opportunity to stop by, it's not our decision, it's the decision of the military command , we just owe it to carry out e-e at the expense of banning entry for e-e volunteers indeed, she is like that, but hmm, this does not apply to those volunteers who are engaged in purely evacuation, evacuation on e-e armored capsules

, so-called, they have been working with us there almost since the first day of a full-scale war in full communication with us and the police, that is, we have already worked out everything about some trifles, by the way, about the volunteers, of course , someone got offended, someone even wrote me personal messages, but i am calling for common sense. the guys from kramatorsk called, er, they are volunteers, they stop by sometimes not very often, but they come to the city, er, they called and said we have information on evacuation, er, you can answer the question, it's very simple, guys, the car is armored no, sorry, not empty, if you don't mind give it please, the contacts, we will take these people out, the guys said without any problems, they transferred all the contacts, the request is there, er, an older er, couple with a dog, please take away all the contacts

, everything was taken, they took the information to work, and at the end , the guys said, thank you, glory to ukraine take care, this is a normal approach, the guys understand that if they drive these people in an ordinary car, they don't need to, they won't come under fire and, god forbid, someone will be caught there. so who will be responsible for this, that is, these things must be taken very seriously, vitaliy , we would like to ask you about the effectiveness of the so-called armored capsule armored vehicles, it is conditional, frankly speaking, it is the conditions. it can protect against small debris, of course , if there is a direct hit, it will not save anything, but we understand, but there are cases. for example, our armored capsule, which was handed over

to us by volunteers . well, probably still there 7-8 months ago from the czech republic . got into the handout let's say so, i'm sorry for such a word, er, everyone survived. thank god, the car needs to be repaired very expensively, but hey , we'll think of something, because without it , well, it's simply impossible. such in a more or less protected capsule, you’re a little more relaxed, frankly speaking, it’s just ordinary cars ugh well, vitaly , one cannot help but note that, uh, your administration has success with the evacuation of children from the war zone, although direct forced evacuation there was not approved for avdiyivka at the level

of the cabinet of ministers, for example, at the expense of which it was possible to achieve such results, and perhaps this experience will also agree with other cities near the front . five children you have now literally stay in avdiyivka, this is really good the result, you know, as long as there are children, so the result is still not satisfactory, but if we have, er, there will not be a single child in the city , then i will say that it is really a good result and even er, well , calm down a little bit, you know, for now, we are all working and as a result, you know that every day, it is the work of the volunteer police, those who are involved in the evacuation of representatives of the military administration personally, you know , by persuasion, sometimes even by pressure . well, i say it as it is, because these are children

. are the prices really over? it's very hot in the city, it's very hot. well, i'm personally uncomfortable there, frankly speaking. yes, there since the time when rockets were fired and it's very common to be hit by rockets. they came to check what they called the guests there for two years, the children, she hadn't been outside for more than a year, he breathed in the air, and it all came down to the fact that the mother was sitting because she had a brother called vika, and she was afraid that if they left, they would take him to the army to fight. took out yesterday thank god for this girl. everything is fine now. she is a little different even yesterday. this mother already started talking . at first, she was full of aggression, full of aggression , but we didn't listen. believe me. thank you, mr.

vitaliy, for your service, for your care and for your participation in the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel vitaly barabash, head of the avdiiv city military administration we are going further beyond 15/3 maksym zhorin, now we are joined by the former commander of the azov regiment, a major of the armed forces of ukraine glory to ukraine by maksym we congratulate you as a hero glory i congratulate you well, president zelenskyi voiced a rather clear formula, this is how it goes, in particular, about the reasons for such fierce battles for bakhmut, according to the president, if the armed forces of ukraine lose the battle for bakhmut, then ukraine will be under severe pressure to find unacceptable compromises with the russian aggressor well, we asked i would like you to characterize the whole of the current big battle in donbas, well the situation here

is really extremely complicated relative to the stable situation on the flanks, uh, in the north, in the south, there is no enemy there at all, i can’t achieve any success, moreover , for several days in a row, our forces managed to make counterattacks and, well, dobrenko to attack the enemies in their positions, but the situation in the place itself is very difficult, because there are extremely heavy on the streets of the city, the enemy realized that he could not surround him, he again concentrated on trying to push them out of the city directly in city battles, but he still does not succeed in this position, they hold absolutely nothing for us the order to hold positions has not changed. so we will continue to carry it out. most of the place is controlled by ukrainian forces and the positions are held. maksym, please tell me the ways of supplying and feeding bachmut

both for our military and actually for everyone who stays in this city or is here some dynamics of the enemy's side and to what extent it is beneficial and positive for them, well, the enemy is trying all this time to block our path that we have to this corridor of life that unites and allows us to enter and leave the city eh, but well, it's been a long time for us it maintaining this corridor is a priority task, regardless of the enemy's wishes, this corridor exists, then action p maksym as you can see, the situation on the so-called zaporizhia front is now possible, but a couple of minutes ago we included a deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, he says that our armed forces are feeling they are more confident there than the enemy, but on the other hand, the enemy is regularly shelling both

our positions and civilian objects. the fact is that the zaporizhia direction is er interesting er for us and for the enemy, as we his we see that it is potentially possible for an offensive and there is a relatively quick liberation of these territories, and the enemy is also looking at this territory as one of the possible directions for the advance of his enemy troops, therefore the situation may change and the enemy may accumulate there forces, however, as i have already said, our side also considers the direction as one of those from which, for example , we could start the liberation of our territories further. kharkiv region er there are er several sensitive areas and one of them is the northernmost one, this is the district of the two-year-old kupyan direction er

, it seems a little unfair to me that er, we notice a little less about it than there , for example, about e limanskyi and svatovo -crimina e it is these areas, but if you look at open sources, it is clear that the enemy is pressing from there. how would you assess the prospects of the enemy in this area in general, or can any more massive military offensive actions be carried out from there ? the fact is that the enemy looking for himself possible areas for an attempt to break through, he cannot begin to find them in our defense, our defense is dense and powerful, and stands firm in absolutely all positions, but the enemy continues to search for these opportunities , he tried to do it there in the territory of the luhansk region, in the territory near the flint mine, for some time he thought that bakhmut could be there or around or bakhmut , but so far he cannot find these weak

cities, and i think that he will not be able to, but he will definitely continue to grope to look for where it is still possible, the enemy does not leave any chances, does not leave his dreams, nevertheless, try to move forward . the problem is that the ukrainian army simply does not give him such an opportunity in any of the directions, and accordingly, the maximum prospects for the deployment of an additional military bridgehead in belarus, the russians announced that they were preparing to deploy tactical nuclear weapons . everything and not to intimidate like that, but in any case we understand that the russians will also draw manpower there if we analyze the belarusian bridgehead as in your opinion, how ready are we and how ready would the enemy be, so

to speak, to open an additional front there, well, belarus is already for us has long been an unfriendly territory. therefore, for a long time, in principle, we have been preparing our border for possible attempts to attack the world. i do not think that such events will happen in the near future, but for example, before our unit began to take part in battles for bakhmut well, before that, we were also involved in the preparation of the border with belarus in case of attempts to attack from this side, and at that time we were already ready for any similar provocations or attempts. and now i think even more so, but well, my personal opinion, i think that such an operation will not take place in the near future. although this territory is certainly not friendly to us today, unfortunately , the time may come when it will be necessary to help the belarusians to free themselves from their regime. maxim, how

is the face of the enemy changing ? if that's possible to say, but in fact, we are talking about the personnel of the enemy army in the area where you are currently working, can we say that the wagnerites are becoming fewer, the russian army is being included regularly, what level of training are these fighters? and so on. now those who were still alive wagnerites are trying to er use them mainly for assaults er not directly now they are used for attempts at urban assaults there are not so many of them left so the possibilities of their use have decreased er they end here absolutely every day, therefore, there are mostly regular units of the armed forces in the defense at the positions of the enemy, for example, when we recently entered their trenches, those russians who are no longer alive who met us there, they were

there, for example, from the 57th er, from the 57th brigade there were paratroopers there, and by the way, they also recently met with the lpr. this probably indicates that they are already trying to get absolutely everyone here, that is , the regular units are mostly sitting in the defensive positions. and those wagner halls that still exist alive so far, they are constantly being re-equipped, constantly regrouping and, er, being thrown on assaults, that is, as far as we understand, the wagnerites exhausted themselves as a separate contingent with which they plugged all possible holes with colossal losses for them, so well, because when we communicated with the fighters who are under bakhmut, he says that the russians are increasing the use of personnel units . i would not rush to declare that they have exhausted themselves, but they are definitely on this path. and if

we talk about the general management of this group, its coherence is there something like that, you know? well, after all, military people understand how important it is for the right hand to understand what the left hand is doing, and all this was really very complex. does it work in the russian army in the area where you are? they are just, well, i don’t know, chaotically pushing forward there , what does it look like? no, it’s not chaotic, it’s a completely managed story. the fact is that even the hungarians, even these little ones , are in charge of experienced military personnel who have experience , er, who have, well, it must be recognized that they have enough not a bad experience, even already er, er, participating in the war against ukraine, but their infantry is mostly there, when we talk about these prisoners, she really does not understand often the more or less complex tasks, but management eh . these are really military, they are trained military

eh- eh, although this does not prevent them from having problems, eh, coordination, especially at the junctions between units, what we sometimes try to use, if we detect such things, we observe miscommunication, we observe even the so-called friendly fire between ourselves the enemy periodically, er, we look at it with pleasure. but the command of these units is actually quite prepared. maxim , the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, called on everyone, so to speak, to analyze the possible directions of our counteroffensive and its specifics, so to speak, but if, for example, we talk about some such more general things, in particular, when it comes to, for example , our existing armored vehicles, to what extent, because it was now able to strengthen our offensive or counter-

offensive impulse. arrived, look first of all when we speak. i see that now everyone is very interested in when the offensive will take place, in which directions , which territory will be liberated. but i understand that , unfortunately, most civilians have no idea at all how much work is involved in preparing the fact is that the majority of civilians. well, it's obvious that they don't understand simple things . how much time is needed to coordinate with the equipment in order to prepare the equipment, because getting it does not mean that this equipment has the ability from this day on. to take part in any actions that in offensive to offensive actions, you need to prepare separately, you need to prepare separate units , you need separate equipment for e-e, for these operations , this all requires frequent and forces, and most civilians, unfortunately, do not even imagine how much

it is it takes time, son, i can assure you that it is very, very much. if you see that today, for example, some equipment got into ukraine, then you must understand that tomorrow, in principle, it cannot be, for example, bahmuti and already be used by yourself, because it is necessary to spend a lot of work in order to prepare it. it is necessary to check the time so that the infantry, for example, has passed coordination with this equipment, because it all moves differently, shoots in it with different characteristics, and all this affects the most effective work of the unit. therefore, it is not all that simple is happening. i understand the desire of everyone there to bring victory closer as soon as possible. but i will say that if you really want to bring it closer, then i recommend either joining the army , directly joining it, or doing everything to help those who and then there will be fewer questions and more understanding. and we will really get closer to victory together. well, we have to understand that

the defense of our country is not a series. when you just expect a series of counteroffensives from the armed forces and let's go ahead, no, this is painstaking work, there is a lot of blood and tears, and that's why to approach this in a theatrical way well, you definitely can't, it just doesn't exist maksym thank you very much for this inclusion thank you for covering the information for your service maksym zhorinu, ex -commander of the azov regiment, major of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us and she there are literally a few moments left before the information release, which will be conducted by our colleague iryna koval, but for now iryna is preparing, we will note important information . the ministry of foreign affairs of china stated that they positively evaluate the proposal of president volodymyr zelenskyi regarding the negotiations between ukraine and the people's republic of china, the spokeswoman for the ministry of foreign affairs of the prc mao said this according to ning, china positively evaluates zelensky's proposal for negotiations between the two countries, but

china has yet to talk about the specific date of the meeting. supports communication with all of the ukrainian conflict, including the country of the ukrainian conflict itself, ukraine well, everything is clear as usual, yes, due to bad weather, emergency shutdowns are in effect in kyiv - 12 regions , in particular, in zhytomyr , vinnytsia, khmelnytskyi, chernivtsi , kyiv, chernihiv, cherkasy, mykolaiv, odesa , kirovohrad, dnipropetrovsk, and sumy. ukrenergo, well, the reason is, of course , bad weather, stormy wind, snow with rain, and so on. well, as for the generation of electricity production, it is enough for covering the needs of consumers well, what's the word for the news , the word for the journalists iryna koval will now present an updated information release
