[000:00:00;00] well, we do not need russian citizens in such positions, and now we will talk about luhansk region and we will add to the conversation serhii shikun, an officer of the 111th separate brigade on the defense of luhansk region. serhii, i congratulate you. good evening, i am glad to see and hear you, mr. serhii, and i will ask you about the situation today. in general, you can talk about the last period, at least this week, about the situation in luhansk oblast, precisely in the area where you and your comrades are a post tool, continue to defend ukraine , please, well, the situation in luhansk , donetsk, you can say yes, on the border this kremin forest continues to be difficult because muscovite has withdrawn a very

large amount of equipment and personnel to this direction. flint, and the enemy there now has more forces and means than even under bakhmut. and what do you think? well, first of all , to what extent are all these means being used, or are the enemy accumulating them for a further possible strike or for a constant rotation there to replace those who died or were wounded er or these troops just stand and use only a part of them, please no, the enemy is accumulating forces, this is done, i’m saying that in order to er go to the border in of seversky donets to liman and already pass further so that today the city continues its assault actions in the bakhmut area in the metro area freely have some advantages and after that

, he will probably get what he wants there, then there may already be a broad offensive on three months the directions that the enemy is actually glass there are very large and there is a very large stock of equipment that is concentrated there, as well as personal glass . please tell me according to your assessment, well, first of all, what means the enemy uses, the most important thing is tanks, because i have repeatedly talked with our fighters who are in luhansk region now are there, they say that the enemy is really very effectively using armored vehicles, tanks. well, i think that it is not only about tanks, some e-e t-64, but about tanks that are more modern, more effective, that the enemy is really using tanks in this area and is there a possibility to counter this effectively, well, the possibility, i mean the means of defeat, please, the use of tanks is limited, because the bank was leaving

, for example, in 15 minutes, it can make an impression on our motoblock composition, and from those positions that are new, we are bent on our artillery in ours with mortars and everything is written. well, the weather conditions, you see what the snow was like. if the situation is changing for you , well, now the warming is not something that a person can expect. you today he is carrying out active assault actions and new active shelling . so everything is happening very easily increasing . please tell me if there are certain needs, and i mean not some household ones, they are

always there. and that is understandable but the needs of the equipment what do you think would be effective today to counter the enemy and especially if he tries to advance further and use much more forces and means of perception with what he is using now that it would be necessary and again if we talk about defensive positions are not revealing some secrets and secrets, how profitable are the positions of the armed forces today in the light of the possible greater use of the enemy's forces, please well, what does the armed forces of ukraine need today - these are primarily theories more er, more er, more shells, more mortars, in order to be able to hit, not taking actions, er, muscovites, not knowledge . well

, what is the muscovite of sumy? i actually want the front line eh here it is not possible to clearly say that we really need more artillery means. to maintain the situation and destroy trees, thank you very much , mr. serhiy, serhii shakun was with us an officer of the 111th separate brigade and the defense of luhansk oblast. he is actually on the border of luhansk and donetsk regions together with his combat units and the enemy has accumulated enough forces and means there , he is obviously trying to take active offensive actions in order to reach the lyman well, the enemy has such plans and dreams, but ukraine also has plans for the further course of the war, of course, the main plan

that all of these counterattacks are talking about now . today we will talk about it actively with sergey actively and in detail. about the nuances that arise because, again, in such a big war as the war between ukraine and russia today, everything matters, and the informational component is also of great importance, and this informational informational noise is also important and the creation of such a specific m-m image even before the object itself appears, this is also important because a person is always afraid of some invented fear of his own even more than reality, these are facts that the enemy is, and this is what our fighters are saying today, that the enemy is is panicking, nervous and is taken very strongly by this counteroffensive, this shows that ukraine and those people who are responsible for this , who are supposed to do it, they are working very actively and effectively , they created this image and

a counteroffensive that already scares the enemy because they do not know where it will be they don't know what forces and means ukraine will have, they don't know how many troops will be involved in this, and they don't know what these troops were taught abroad by the instructors and what they will actually come with. that is, this is something you don't really know anything about. they are trying to come up with what they know, say what they know, they are now trying to influence their partners around the world so that they initiate armistice negotiations, some other things, let's come to an agreement somehow . well, because we don't know what might happen during to kondernastu, it is not a fact that everything will be as lightning-fast as many imagine it, it is not a fact, it is not a fact that there will be any quick victories, but the fact is that there will be something that the enemy does not know about, and realizing that it could be even worse than it is now, the russians are starting

use all your means and opportunities in order to stop this counteroffensive and make it impossible to translate everything into negotiations. today, this minister of propaganda of the russian federation, minister of lies, sergei lavrov, said that russia, as you can see, turns out to be ready for negotiations, but really, it wants to took into account its positions and not as it was done by the north atlantic alliance, which did not take into account its positions, you only know one question to sergey lavrov and specifically to this situation, why were you so taken by the presence of nato bases in ukraine and by no means by the fact that from kharkiv there to bilhorod well, it will not be taken into account - take into account bilhorod from kharkiv to moscow, let's say whether from soum to moscow under the ice of rockets it will be so uh so so short-lived and now you have finland there under the ice of rockets to st. petersburg in general very short-lived but somehow russia is silent. now let's join the conversation yuliya from the first

deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, mr. yuriy, welcomes you, there is something to talk about. well, unfortunately, there is a lot of sad news from kherson oblast, the occupiers. well, let's go to 21 regarding the night shelling, the night shelling of boryslav has happened and that's it. fresh information on the attack on the ambulance in boryslav, there are also wounded people there, as far as i understand. let's start with the attack on the ambulance in boryslav, what happened there? what are the consequences , please? it is a difficult day for our kherson region. we still have a difficult security situation let's say the situation regarding the ambulance, you know. well, that's in general. it was another war crime, because according to the previous version, in uh, our ambulance was fired upon from a drone , they just hunted for it, that is, there was artillery fire. at first, when the ambulance went out to help people who received

the injuries after this shelling were already from drones, they would have dropped or ambulance supplies, unfortunately, two people were injured there, a woman is in such a serious condition now, uh, doctors are working to make sure that everything is not well, she is now, she is now medical assistance. she is already in the hospital. in general, we have a day. as of now, 8 people have been injured. 4 are in the kherson district . four are in beryslavsky . well, the citizens continue to be blown up by mines. well, first of all, an artillery strike took place in the state. oh, if i may say a few words. also on this matter, what are the results of this enemy shelling, please, it is there. unfortunately, there is another tragic situation there. a woman with two children and a 10-year-old girl came under fire.

in the near future we will carry out a medical evacuation of the child so that she can continue her treatment in safe conditions, as i have already said . unfortunately, we still have the enemy to shell our communities, our population , points, as we can see . an institution, then another humanitarian object, that is, they are fighting now , not the armed forces, they can now fight with us in our direction there with the local population, and mr. yuri, i will thank you now air anxiety in the center of the south of ukraine in the city of kyiv that's why e-e take care of yourself in kherson , too, don't take care of yourself thank you for taking the time to join and comment on these hostile crimes and the consequences of crop losers yuriy sobolevskyi , the first deputy chairman of the kherson regional council, you now see a number of regions e- e odesa e-e zaporizhia e-e what we see there e -e cherkasy kyivska vinnytska e kirovohradska

mykolaivska they are there now air air alert khersonska also because of the threat of a missile attack from the south although there the enemy allegedly brought out their ships, well obviously, after all, he brought them to the front line, so to speak, and still threatens the territory of ukraine, therefore, in those areas where the alarm has now been declared necessary, of course, i ask you to take measures that could protect you as much as possible where you are and becomes the possibilities that you have in order to secure yourself well, also, if we talk about kherson oblast, the left bank of kherson oblast is being occupied and mined, you actually know this anyway, sooner or later you will leave from there, or you will be kicked out or you will leave yourself , you will escape from there and this is the cancellation of the left bank is actually the creation of huge problems, because now on the right bank of the kherson region, where did the enemy flee from? where did the armed forces of ukraine push him out ? they don't leave from anywhere, for some reason now zaporizhzhia region from kherson region where

the enemies are, for some reason they don't leave there only when there is a threat or encirclement or destruction they immediately start running away, thus mining the right bank quite powerfully the enemy of kherson oblast is multiplying today, unfortunately, and mountains in families, where people die, the number of cripples, etc., a large number of injured people, but today in the arkhangelsk region , a guy blew up a mine, somewhere there was also a story that the guy was scattering rubble with shovels . well, this is also happening right now on the left bank, that is, when it is clear that this is done against the armed forces of ukraine first of all, but the armed forces of ukraine have the forces and means there for remote demining and other things, well , at least on the way to follow the armored vehicles columns. i think that the roads will be demined, but the fact is that people will come there later, and somewhere after leaving behind the brush, or going to a store somewhere or going down somewhere, you need to take something

. you can get into a minus. it can be near a farm near well, you see, they did it all unfortunately, kherson region is actually like that, like many other regions of our country, these are terrible wounds and this is a problem many, many, many, many years ago. i will remind you that today ukraine is the most mined ukraine in the world and what we see in kherson region, especially in kherson region, where mines are simply an incredible amount that we see every day, and people's arms and legs are suffering and the body is dying. well, a few days ago there was a story about the death of the head of the explosives service of the kherson region along with his subordinates, unfortunately, he died while demining the kherson region. this is so that we understand how risky work is even for miners. i am not talking about ordinary people who, in principle, fall under these, and besides, now they are actively trying to demine at least some lands where

you can sow and then harvest because in in any case, well, the south of ukraine and the southeast and the southwest and there the central, closer to the central regions, these are the most fertile lands. from where we collect most of the harvest, and here they are now trying to demine it as quickly as possible. at the same time, there are also places where people live and people also don't know where they are, that's why what the enemy is doing now, he also wants the left bank to be active, he just wants to bring many more woes to the ukrainian ukrainian land, well, and another interesting story. by the way, we will you can't call it an election , of course, it's not an election. well, let's put it diplomatically, it's a fake election that the enemy is preparing in russia . they should take place there at the end of may. and russian figures who were not needed there at the court somewhere in moscow

from the bed they are small . voronezhskaya or belgorodskaya or some um, that means novosibirsk and that is why they are sent here to the south. they barked a lot agitating for the occupation, then they barked a lot while running around this occupied territory of ukraine and apparently they served their time and they decided to send these people there by the way, among them there is a certain comrade rybin comrade ryby by the way, this is our husband , i mean a ukrainian, he was a sharia lawyer , in my opinion, he also worked as a criminal and a lot of these pro-russian people like that he defended his comrades in court, and now he wants to be a deputy in kherson region, in the kherson region, in addition to him, there is also a woman who has become a man, which means that she runs some rural club in the kherson region or a district house of culture. she also

wants to be a deputy and what's interesting about them is that there are still primaries going on, they say, do you remember the primaries , who do you want to choose for yourself, i don't want to choose anyone from you , lord, collect coins, go where your god is, as they say, or fail to ukraine , you will be sent so well now literally by a minute, sergey and i are growing up, let's talk about the situation at the front for the last week, wait, there will be more, it will be more interesting in the potatoes, there is no, you will bring something urgent, i have caught something , i remind my mother, with dr. tyss's periwinkle, and you get back to work , honey. and muscles, natural without zivokost from dr. tyss, ask at the pharmacies of the good day pharmacy and one social pharmacy med

zivokostop 100 grams with a 20% discount." during the military summary of the day, my

colleague serhii was with me at the map of the hostilities zgurets, director of the defense express agency, this is the host of the column, military summaries of the day serhii i must congratulate vasyl i congratulate our viewers today we will summarize the results of the week that is passing and determine the main trends of the next week , more on that in a moment serhii i really don't like that our e-e experts are journalists and even political figures, the state, statesmen , they give some news to the space in ukraine for discussion, referring to ordinary commercial american publications that are not state, some groups are not uh by the printed organs of the congress or the white house, well, in particular, the new york times edition, they decided to write for themselves well, this is a commercial publication, editors and journalists work for them , they wrote something for themselves in order for this publication to sell better, a little more money , this is normal, but everything is actively discussed in our country why because the new york times e.e. submitted a material in which they demonstrate alleged secret materials on

the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine, we understand that if they publish it in the american press well, again, they are obviously hinting that the russians have some influence and somehow initiated this, er, this material . more conclusions can be drawn from this publication. when will the counteroffensive finally begin? well, in fact, when we talk about this publication, there are indeed nuances that are worth paying attention to, it actually refers to documents based on the results of a meeting where general mark milli and the commander of the armed forces were present by nato forces in europe in at the beginning of march

, where the actual plans for our offensive actions were discussed. offensive and about how our brigades are being formed for the offensive, there are 12 brigades, and it was written there that, relatively speaking , there are nine brigades. six of them are being prepared. at the end of march, there will be three more ready at the end of april for each brigade, the weapons that are used there are specified time frames for the preparation of these combat brigades , in any case, we understand that this information is partially sensitive, but in any case, it does not affect the preparation for the counteroffensive, because the information itself the counteroffensive is indeed secret and we understand that both the american side and the ukrainian side will draw conclusions based on these materials, but most likely i think that this is an element of such an internal american game, and that's just right it is more likely to be related to some kind of intra-american showdown than to refer to the ukrainian side

, so in any case i think that there will be a continuation of the offensive, it will not affect the american side will draw conclusions and after the americans hundred-side will find out how it was this leak of this information has been ensured, some such final results will be made from the ukrainian side, there was only a statement from the main intelligence department, where the spokesman of the gur, mr. yusov, said that the russian side provides victories only by hinting at photoshop at the appearance of these slides, but i think that the game around this case is multifaceted enough and there will appear , he said, new nuances that will make it possible to draw more objective conclusions. well, in fact, counteroffensive is becoming a very important figure in this game, which is now being played on chess players of the ukrainian-russian war, everyone is trying to take this figure into their own hands, and of course it is about the responsibility of journalists. i understand that the press is free on the one hand

, and it should be. well, suddenly a real plan of a counteroffensive got into your hands, and you are publishing it, in fact, you are crossing out the months-long efforts of the americans , the europeans, and above all, the ukrainians to prepare legislation because you simply took it for yourself and did it like this. a plan, that is, a friend of certain people who can make him angry with journalists, danylo, that only 3-5 people in this country know what is happening with this counterattack, we took it as a preparation, so what is the truth that anthony birky well, this is also the usa today he said that the offensive will take place in the next few weeks, maybe he is also part of the group of these three or five people who know the situation about the counteroffensive, but i understand that in reality it is a long process of preparation and we understand that it will not begin based on newspaper or magazine publications on our offensive or maybe it was even such a mistake, you know what is the name of a team that distracted attention, like

eyes in thermal headphones distract missiles when it flies, let's say a plane releases heat traps, it is also possible that it is also like that some kind of thing is connected with the counteroffensive, the more it goes on, the more will be inflicted, and in fact, this is a good questionnaire, an information curtain that needs the attention of our enemy. the least expected well, but now uh, at the front, the attack takes place every day and the military operations of determining the strength are also known and these battles take place every day , and therefore i want to say what are the general trends in general and the trends at the front with the report, we see that the pace of the russian army is so significantly decreased at least in the key directions and can we talk about a certain pause before easter, the head of the roman catholic church, the pontiff, pope francis i said in general, called for the announcement of an easter truce well, for roman catholics, it will be easter now in

us on april 18 for two weeks again so that at this time everything is silent and well, first of all, how do you understand that, this is his call for a truce , when we are approaching, we are approaching a decisive event on the fund in the form of a counteroffensive, this and something else or really the pace of hostilities decreased. well, about the truce, we already had several cases when the enemy offered us to remeasure the grain and so on, but in any case, all of these truces were on september 1, there were absolutely where the enemy first tried in what way to buy time and i think that now is not the right option. when we have to agree to a cease-fire and the situation is at the level of the front, if we take even the last weeks, it really looks like the intensity and number of attacks has decreased, the general staff in the morning, i am talking about the fact that on the entire area of ​​the front line, he now singles out four directions: limansky, bakhmutsky, mariinsky , avtivsky, even dividing them, maryan piavdiyevka, and damn it is said that there were 40 such attacks of the enemy

per day, and earlier. if we remember such offensives the number of the enemy was up to a hundred, that is, in fact, we see the dynamics of the reduction of the enemy, which on the one hand speaks of er or exhaustion or some other plans that the enemy is currently trying to implement when we are talking about the most things there, the area about the same bahmut there were 19 and so of these 40 that generally took place at the level of the front, i will remind you that the entire front line is under 800 km and where there are hostilities or until there is tension, and the bahmut section itself in width is 7 km probahmut situation in the city complex, the occupiers have captured a large part of the city center, what does this mean for the defense forces ? well, let's talk again, obviously, about the possible withdrawal from the city , which has been talked about for over a month, and even the president, if i'm not mistaken, said that these decisions will be made based on the current

of the situation and the prospects for the further development of the situation on the battlefield , right here in the city of bakhmut , zelensky is absolutely right on the fifth when he had a meeting in poland with polish leaders. it will endanger the lives of conifers and indeed such generals. referring to general silsky, they praise the decision to withdraw from the city . how is it? there will be a need for this and it will be the right decision based on the current situation of the situation that is currently happening in bakhmut, according to certain estimates , the enemy controls somewhere around 67% of them, i really don’t know how they calculate these percentages, but well, in some e-e editions this figure appears now and in fact the enemy is now e-e trying we are already advancing with m-m from the east, in fact, this advance has already stopped in two sections , we are talking about the fact that the fighting will reach the central part, but the front line also does not pass

along the banks of bakhmutka as before and already along the e-e railway, which also crosses bakhmutka with north to south and this is the line of defense, and beyond its difference, high-rise buildings begin, and in fact the enemy controls the area in front of the railway and between the bakmutka and the railway, where there are small buildings, and there are buildings in the high-rise, which is controlled by our troops precisely due to dominance from a height the destruction of a comrade, the body is trying to use uh aviation, which is the same well , you are directed to destroy buildings, but what shows that on the flanks, the enemy's efforts are weakening and the skills are also beautiful uh it is unfortunate that he says that in fact it is necessary to strengthen the flanks, which is a sign that the flanks are weakening that it is necessary to strengthen the leadership and it is necessary to talk again about the lack of ammunition, he says because in fact all these factors have a negative effect on the effectiveness

of the actions of the russian army but we we understand that even with this efficiency, the inertia of offensive actions is still preserved, and this should be taken into account by the ukrainian side, which, first of all , directs its main efforts to control so that the enemy does not advance in the match flanks, and this is ensured by the counter-supply of logistical routes, which still reliably provide our units with ammunition and other components needed for defensive operations. well, by the way, in any case, i think that the counteroffensive has not started . under bakhmut, wherever he starts, i think that he will have a significant impact on the situation. by the way, bakhmuts in avdiivka, in the marine corps, are where the hottest fighting takes place, because he , well, firstly, it will be a psychological blow to the enemy, and secondly, he will force them to withdraw or other forces to those areas where the armed forces of ukraine will go to the counteroffensive, that's why he already understands the forces in this way. by the way, it's difficult to say the role of bahmut before the counteroffensive begins , then obviously the forces are going to pull away from

some other directions, well, in any case, this is my opinion that bakhmut today holds certain forces until the moment x or until time x, that is, one of the tasks of the bakhmut is to contain the russian forces there, which, by the way, are becoming conventionally speaking, except for the wagners, who are hiding in the mountains. it is important from the point of view that they are in this area and not in other directions , and we understand that when the offensive begins, the offensive will not be started by the forces that are leading the defense of us , fresh forces that are being formed in the format of preparation for counter- offensive actions, but i repeat the importance of protection we will understand bakhmut precisely against the background of counteroffensive actions, we will see whether we have enough strength for other directions or not enough and what is the positive or negative value, how little did the defense of bakhmut last, exactly how today we can estimate uh, several hundred where well more
