[000:00:00;00] the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine will begin in the summer, prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal said this while in the united states of america. the washington post , citing secret documents leaked online, claims that the war in ukraine will not end with the victory of any side and will continue until at least 2024. russian tactical aviation continues to shell southern ukraine from the sea of ​​azov, while the russian occupiers continue to lose manpower and equipment in ukraine as of the morning of april 13. russia lost 180,590 people in ukraine only in the last day, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed 540 traffic jams at the beginning of the great war, the russians have already lost in ukraine 3,646 tanks

, 7,053 armored fighting vehicles, 2,777 artillery pieces of such systems, 353 multiple rocket systems, sharp systems, 353 multiple rocket systems , 283 air defense equipment 37 planes , 293 helicopters, 5,637 units of automotive equipment, 18 ships, boats, 911 cruise missiles - 2,339 drones, 320 units of special counteroffensive equipment of the armed forces of ukraine which should start in the summer about putin's murderers and how russia is turning into a prison, we will talk for the next hour, we are waiting for its inclusion on yehor firsov, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine and a people's deputy of ukraine of the seventh and eighth convocations, he is in new york precisely because of new york

who is located in the bakhmut district and he is a tactical medic , a person who fights on the eastern front , the editors have already told me that yegor is in touch with yegor. good day. good health to you. thank you for joining our conversation. i wish you all good health, i have already said and told our viewers that you are in new york, but not in the new york that is across the ocean, but the one that is in the bakhmut e-e district. please tell me what is happening on the line now front and what do you see around what events are happening uhu i didn't dream of protonia and i didn't mind in new york i made a wish for the new year here, but there is how to understand new york is such a small town it is located a little below avdiivka is near us and

horlivka is right next to us, therefore, in principle, we are in the epicenter of a the only thing that is of course a little easier for us than in bakhmut or, for example, directly in avdiivka , well, for the first time, the general situation is unchanged, that is, the enemy is attacking , the enemy is trying to break through on various kinds of provocations offensive or heavy equipment and so on, that is, nothing has changed in general, but from what has changed, from what has changed, the first thing is that he brings his team a little weather conditions, because now such a season has begun and the soil is very, very, very soft that's why any technique is a prisoner, it either doesn't go or advances very, very much a clown , this is the first, second moment that we observe through

quadcopters, which enemy is our aerial reconnaissance ? are actively digging in, doing everything to dig in as much as possible, not to make defensive fortifications , i think because they are afraid of our counteroffensive, but you have to take this into account, the enemy is now digging in very, very deep, well and the third point, and fortunately little by little, but we have more weapons and western aid and our own manufacturer, that is, of course, we wanted more, more and more, but the weapons are coming , of course, this gives us a certain advantage. this is where we have certain confidence, even at the expense of our volunteer

of organizations, e-e, brigades tereoemptively, they receive 120th mortars. and this very, very much improves our work, because the range of strikes can be much higher by several kilometers than it was before, e , maneuverable intensity, e-e, it certainly gives advantage to that well somehow, denis shmyhal, the prime minister of ukraine, who is currently in the united states of america, announced that the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine will take place not in the spring, but in the summer, and asked in washington for fighter jets at a meeting with the minister of defense of the united states of america, lloyd, to give us the washington shmygal personally renewed the call for the provision of american fighter bombers f-16 and f-15 as well as missiles with a longer range of heavy equipment and ammunition as mr. and the mountains at the front

perceive the information that the counteroffensive it is believed that it will be a little later, that we need to wait and we are waiting for weapons and we are waiting for all the opportunities and accordingly the weather is obviously not favorable in donbas yet , the soil is drying and obviously we need to wait when all this comes together in one puzzle and ukraine will carry out this counteroffensive in anticipation which we all live in. well, you know there, with all due respect to mr. prime minister, after all, we are military and we focus on our immediate command. i am convinced, i hope. i am convinced that the situation with a counteroffensive will be known by 1-2-3-4 people, the largest , that is, the country cannot live by analyzing the counteroffensive in

the public network and analyze where exactly we will counterattack and so on. that is, it is possible from the point of view of confusing the enemy this is good, but i will remind you that the success in the kharkiv direction when the counteroffensive took place, three people in the command directly knew about it, and moreover , that this command gave instructions to the brigade commanders, well, let's say, not instructions they were informed in a slightly different way, they will soon be transferred to the zaporozhye direction and so on, and in the end they gave an order regarding a counteroffensive in the kharkiv region, and it gave results, so when will this counteroffensive happen? accepted not by taking into account public expectations at the request of social networks

, or someone else, but the counteroffensive will take place when the command feels fully ready for combat and you will completely calculate tactically, strategically, certain calculations, and that's it maybe it will happen in the summer maybe in may maybe in the fall maybe tomorrow if it doesn't happen well the psychological armed forces are ready and if it doesn't happen i would, well , somehow, show, well, i would call for decisions to be made regarding the contrast solely on the basis of e military analytics and unexpected people 's expectations, social networks, expectations of a possible event, and so on, because when such military decisions are made with expectations, it ends badly, it ends in disappointment and blood.

of national security and defense, oleksiy danilov said that the number of people who know when and how the counteroffensive will take place in the armed forces of ukraine is five or six people who know exactly about it, and thank god, how exactly do you say that this counteroffensive was unexpected for the russian occupiers, meanwhile, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine says that russia has probably postponed mass missile attacks on ukraine until the fall, this assumption was voiced by the deputy chief of the main operational directorate oleksiy gromov of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine he added that in the summer the occupiers intend to start serial production of new cruise missiles today mr. igor the washington post, referring to leaked pentagon secret documents, claims that it is obvious that the war will continue in ukraine in

2024 and that there will be no peace talks in 2023 it won't happen because both kyiv and ukraine's allies , including the united states of america, want to force putin to initiate peace talks himself so that he his army is not feeling well on the territory of ukraine and they simply saw no other way out than peace talks, according to you , how long does our side count on this distance and to what extent do we have such capabilities, it is meant from the side of the armed forces of ukraine go out and wage a long-term war in the east and raise oh, how do you say? well, i will speak, of course, from the point of view of a military, a full-fledged military, and almost

a year in this war, hmm, we have no other choice, of course, what is the smell and what is the feeling at the front, it is wild in that, wild fatigue from lack of sleep, wild fatigue from physical exertion, wild fatigue from constant battles of arrivals and departures, etc. of course, this fatigue is felt, but there is no other way. in our country, it is possible that sometimes i open there. i have time on social networks and i read the news maybe from the border or even from kyiv, what to say and sometimes it is time to resort to some kind of analysis , what will happen in the 24th year and how will the west behave and so on. when you are at the front on the front you have one task one task i

now, ivan, my opinion is not mine. personally, i am voicing to you the opinion of all the soldiers at the front, the task is to defend our territory, er , to inflict the greatest losses on the enemy, to survive at the same time, it is desirable, and the main task is to win. that is, we do everything in order not to extend the time and someone would sit down for peace talks or some other format. we live with the idea of ​​victory, that we will go to the border in 1991, that we will inflict such losses on the enemy that the enemy will be destroyed, this is what we think about, and in principle, i i believe that the military should think like this, it is another matter for analysts, government officials, politicians, and so on, they should think about some different scenarios, but i emphasize that well, i would not even like to talk about any possible peaceful negotiations because we do not want to talk about it. we do not want to

we can even hear about it, analyze, think, our task is to fight , to stop the enemy and to inflict losses on him. federations stationed in the area of ​​the criminal settlement, says brigadier general oleksiy gromov , are in a depressed state due to a possible attack by the armed forces of ukraine and their vacation has been canceled . will be able to hold their positions also in accordance with the order of the command of the russian occupation forces in this direction , the saving of ammunition is recorded, well, this is what you are talking about they told igor that they are digging in and trying to create defense lines, including that yesterday there was information that there are 120 km under melitopol

. they are also digging these defense lines, they understand that the road from russia to crimea must be kept, including where melitopol is located, that is why they are trying to create this line of defense. over the past few days, we have witnessed the publication of a rather harsh video that shows that the russian occupiers are arranging the execution of ukrainian servicemen. cnn says that no there is one such video on social networks, it is about the fact that ukrainian soldiers are decapitated and their hands are cut off , well, that is, the horrors of war are such that the whole world is in shock. and even the un made a statement that they are shocked and confused by this information

and by this video, a tactical medic you see the war very close and you see the condition of the soldiers who are fighting at the front and how the russian military behaves with our servicemen, what shocks you most about the behavior of the russians and how do they behave in relation to our military what did you encounter what what what did you see oh well you know mr. sergius ah war and service teaches you to have minimal emotions despite the fact that sometimes you are distended sometimes you see ah um what

maybe in my life i didn't think i'd ever seen it, yes, it's a lot of blood, it's a lot of violence and a lot of cruelty, but as a military man, you have to be always with a cold mind, because if you react to it very emotionally and it will, you will make mistakes, so hmm well , of course, you see a lot of blood in war of course, when i was just going to the service, and we were collecting tactical medics and the red cross was handing out such methodological recommendations regarding the geneva convention to others, international uh, well , references to other international treaties. you understand that in this war, there are no rules at all, the enemy is so ugly, the enemy is real a terrorist, what should you forget about the un charter, the geneva convention, any international treaties, criminal courts, and so on, that is, the real devil is fighting against you

, a-a, a real, uh, a real monster, and you have to get out of this only at the front clearly understands that the task of the enemy is not only to destroy you as such, but to destroy all of ukraine in general, only in the war. you understand that they will create a real genocide because you see constant shelling of civilians and you see how purposefully they hit to the civilian quarter therefore, i may say something that may be a little shocking, but for the military, this video is not some kind of shock. revenge can be general, our victory, this causes the military, what kind of emotions, but what kind of shock. are there any thoughts that

push you not to fight there, or to fight somehow, more cautiously, there is no such thing, there is no such thing , because we live with this cruelty, every hour, i am up to it, lord igor, were you born and raised? well, not far from russia. i was also born and grew up near russia, about 40 km away. i grew up in sumy. how do you perceive, or how much do you perceive, what is your attitude to everything that is behind the railing here? ukrainian-russian border and how do you perceive these non-humans because they are not non-humans and how much do you think this ludo-hating ideology in russia is permeated throughout society and is it or is it only individuals because today i came across such a post on social networks by volodymyr holobutsky which

writes about the fact that everyone is talking about the fact that ukrainian soldiers are being executed and people with some criminal past who are part of wagner's private military company at the same time no one is talking about the fact that cities are being destroyed and airstrikes are not carried out by people with a criminal past , but by people with a higher education , people who are in some other, even worse, social position in russian society. behaves well, just like i'm sorry, like cattle, cattle don't want to offend in this situation well, just like people, like non-humans and, as you say, like devils living on earth and this is

a good question, a good question because i don't even want to remember those times, but it's still 2012 year, remember when the european world cup was held there, we could sit drinking beer in one restaurant and root for some different teams, but uh , but their true face was revealed only with the beginning of the war, even in the 14th year, and then already leo in the 22nd year. this is a sick, completely sick nation, and what’s more, it is not talked about on international platforms, ah, but our exit to the borders in the 91st year will not even be enough. yes, this can be considered even if

the victory was at least yes we came out we fired own territory, but believe me, as long as russia exists in their regime, there will always be a threat, and the threat is not only ukraine, a global threat, as a terrorist who lives directly and does not threaten this society, if we go to the border in 1991, rockets will continue to fly to play in our cities, all different systems will work from the territory of the enemy already on our territory. that is, not much will change, only the liquidation of the destruction of this rashitsky regime, only gradual treatment as once upon a time after the second world war, they treated the aggressor, they waited for a whole generation to change, they brought up in others, let's say so , the norms, the norms of moreh and so on , only then

of the report. which was like that, you always have to learn history, remember the story so that you know how the dots of the picture, e.e., the puzzles converged into one picture, that the same situation was in the 91st year and in the 17th year, and history should teach not only us but in general, the whole world that as long as the russian state exists, the whole world will be constantly in danger and only our victory can stop it in the form of the destruction of this state. oleksiy gromov, the brigadier general, says that the enemy makes 40 to 60 attempts of offensive assaults every day in the bakhmut region more than 500 carried out 500 shellings using the entire range of weapons that it possesses, according to him, the military-political leadership of the russian

federation does not pay attention to significant losses of personnel, i quote mr. general just like that during the last two weeks in the bakhmut area, the enemy lost almost 4,500 wagnerites and regular armed forces of the russian federation killed and wounded. igor, you say that the world should realize that the russians are a nation of murderers . we talk there about 10 years, the 10th year of the war in ukraine, but in fact we are talking about uh those uh years when uh russians just uh appeared and tried to form as uh some ethnic groups and tried to bring something to the world, but in particular all of them

they usually carried the war with terror and it is obvious that it is genetic in the code of this nation and something must be done with this code, but look at this. despite this, the russians are now the head of the un security council, and this also shows that the world, despite the war in ukraine , is still does not protest and does not actually do anything to remove russia from both the un security council and the un, and for this it is very easy to find legal grounds , in particular, the fact that russia became a member of the un without going through all the procedures like ukraine, in particular during the ukrainian ssr simply stood there successor of the soviet union, although this is wrong from the point of view of legal points, the united states of america has not yet issued a visa to the delegation of the russian federation, which chairs the soviet union, sergey

lavrov was supposed to fly there. you are a person who is currently fighting, but you are a politician. is fighting or trying to remove russia from some central events and central e-e bodies that ensure security on the planet , is this enough being done, and if not enough, what is the way to isolate russia, taking into account the fact that this country that has nuclear weapons is probably the most feared in the west. oh, you know, it seems to me that i am completely out of the trenches. well, i am not in the trenches , of course.

you look at yours, since the 14th year there has been no international legislation at all, because one of the key countries has brutally violated the world, if it was very, very weak, then in the 14th year it reacted, now in 2022 , international legislation has been completely completely destroyed, i already said what about all geneva conventions about all conventions, international agreements after the second world war can be forgotten because one of the players actually spits on it and does nothing at all. i see that education education is a huge mistake to think that it is still possible to come to an agreement with russia , that it is possible to somehow re-educate i did not suddenly remember the year 1791. in the same way, education had the idea that russia could somehow reeducate people, reeducate and so on, but in the year 17 there was a mistake because the people were

crazy even then in the year 91 the same the story from chechnya and a lot of stories prove it all. well, what can be stated is that it reacts very weakly to aggression and terrorist aggression. moreover, there is a different world. we know the world of the west, which actively helps us to wash. we appreciate it and will never forget it. countries of europe and directly to the aid of the united states of america, but let's not forget that the world is different, there is china, from which there is probably no less danger because it legitimizes terrorist countries and the countries of russia , there is india, which in general also accepts some neutrality from what is happening in our country. but there are countries in africa. they may not be so influential, but they are also

, their position is sometimes often in favor of the country of the terrorist. to draw two conclusions, the first conclusion is that there are no international agreements, international institutions that we can rely on, they have been destroyed, the second story, the second position , the most important thing that we have learned only now , we can rely solely on ourselves, solely on the own strength of ukrainian men and women who are now defend our country and who are now doing everything that the enemy has been destroyed. that's all. thank you yehor for the conversation. this was yehor firsov , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine . take care, mr. yehor. well, we continue our conversation, we work live on the espresso tv channel and also in on our social networks for those who are currently watching us on facebook and on the youtube platform, please like this

of the intelligence office of the ministry of defense of the united states of america, it is stated in the source of these documents that we have been talking about for the last few days, conclusions were drawn that the brutal war between ukraine and russia will end in 2024 and neither side will win, but both will refuse to negotiate an end to the conflict , the analysis concludes that even if ukraine regains a significant amount of territory and inflicts unpleasant losses on russian forces a result that the intelligence of the united states of america considers unlikely , the country's achievements will not lead to peace negotiations , negotiations on ending the conflict are unlikely during 2023, according to all the scenarios considered, says the
