[000:00:00;00] under fire even without without any warning, please, there are no safe zones in kherson and unfortunately , we do not know where the next projectile will fly. it was a projectile, probably an artillery shell. maybe a large-caliber mortar. i was there, it was a terrible, well, terrible picture. it was when a woman with my daughter were lying next to me, i honestly can't imagine what i could do. well, when my husband found out, what did he feel? but i think that well, we will support him in any decision he makes, whether it will be the army. but i understand that the desire for revenge is great. in this case and

no one condemns him. this was right next to the school and the school. they were walking to the school yard. this projectile cut down the trees there and they were just there. unfortunately, they died on the spot. that is, there really are no safe cities and there are no safe cities. in some kind of shelter during such shelling, because sometimes you can’t even hear where they are going from one side to the other. i want to ask about the losses of the enemy. they say that the armed forces of ukraine destroyed a russian post on the dnieper islands . do you know about it? well, in general, here is this uh, the enemy’s attempts to take positions at the observation post on these dnieper islands, how successful are they and how effective is it for the enemy

, how difficult is it to track and destroy them there ? and only on the islands, not on the left bank, they move , they leave as mobile er-er, they set fire points , then they shoot back and leave. intelligence points to the german or their strategy, if you call it that, that's why they, well, our armed forces control this whole situation , you can not worry about it. - this is true, if it didn't happen, then probably well, they are fighting with civilians, no matter how cool you look at yourself all the time, these are near the school where

the daughter and her mother died, and even i don't know. in 5 or 10 km, if you go around, he not one of these well you don't know what the military does. i don't want to ask you. we saw kherson, we all saw it when it was liberated, the russians had to leave, and some did n't have time to leave. and the city was more or less uh, it looked acceptable , but now the enemy is constantly hitting the city, how much it is destroyed. i understand that no one calculated this as a percentage. how many of them on that kherson has changed since september, in fact. last year, that's all i heard from the city administration. it's about damaged houses, about 1,200 houses in the place itself, well, this

also includes administrative buildings and, uh , apartment buildings and private houses, i can't say whether this city is an excuse or which is completely crazy the same one, but well, there are many hits , there are mortars, there are holes or broken paths, the ceiling is broken or the windows are broken. i think we will fix all this, let's just say peace and quiet. i think it will happen very soon and our armed forces will reject the symbols we will be able to deal with them normally, deal not only with closing the windows and ceilings well, now, if not globally, so repair it, at least close it so that the wind does not get there

, and then i say, when it will be calmer, it will be possible to work more calmly and now that the kherson emergency rescue service also receives equipment from japan so that we are already ready for that. well, to rebuild all of this, thank you very much for joining. thank you for your comments oleksandr tolokonnikov of the press office of the kherson regional military administration about the situation in the kherson region and now we will talk about the situation in the bakhmut direction mykola volokhov commander of the terra reconnaissance unit as part of the tactical group azov p. mykola congratulates you i congratulate you glory to ukraine to the heroes i ask how the situation in the bakhmut direction is for now and in general, you can summarize the last days, because uh, events are constantly changing, there is a lot of tension, we see those videos that are posted on the network, this is street shooting, which is continuous

the explosion and it is clear that it is impossible to track everything, but i would like to understand the key moments from the course of events exactly on bach in bakhmut and near him, please, this situation can be described in one phrase that is difficult but controlled, it is difficult because the muscovites are making efforts, it is difficult because they launch in the size of our infantry , what is it that we definitely cannot afford , because for us, each of our fighters is a great value, it is difficult because they have concentrated all their artillery here, they have concentrated here a large number of means of electronic warfare, a bunch of drones are flying and their drones are here, all this is controlled because nothing

works out of them. forward back in principle, er, bakhmut is holding on to what has changed recently, you know, nothing has changed, it was as difficult as it was, and the pressure remains, you know. it can be less for an hour and then be greater again therefore to say that there are some drastic changes, even today on a holiday, it’s the same, everything explodes just before a shot, everything burns , in fact, firecrackers around firecrackers, we see houses falling to the ground, not all of them have been destroyed . by the way, the armed forces of ukraine use very interesting tactics, luring the enemy into one or another houses blow them up we see this video of course how effective it works precisely blowing up houses with russians inside what is it these houses are lost to us for defense if we can't use them as a base

points for defense, it is necessary that the enemy does not use them as strongholds for us well, of course, this makes sense and it is not always linear. it does not mean that you need to constantly go forward in order to win the final. you fight with maneuvers. sometimes you should retreat from less , let's say, suitable positions. for defense in order to occupy others prepared in advance, a completely normal story is to let the enemy take some position that he considers desirable, as he considers good , for example, as a bridgehead for the development of his successes, and then completely undermine it unfortunately, bakhmut will most likely face the fate of aleppo or mariupol, and most likely it will be at least we will defend it until there is an opportunity to get hold of at least one building, and the muscovites are on the path of complete

destruction of the city, that is, they they are destroying aviation buildings with aerial bombs. this is how they want to take the city by simply razing it to the ground. this is what i feel now . please tell me, in addition to the personnel, there was a trained personnel, especially he is always needed at any point of the front, he will give the result is rotation support, we understand it. but if we talk about firepower and air and ground e-e, what would be the most necessary for bahmut or what is the situation with ammunition both you and the enemy or this mumps is constantly changing, then they shout that they have there is no shortage of ammunition, then it seems as if they have enough ammunition, please well, i will not say for the enemy , because what they say in the media and in general what the russians say and the obvagnerits, as a rule , are mostly pure lies, you know what they have

we shouldn't be worried about the ammunition there, we should be more concerned about how things are going. we have the feeling that they haven't run out. and what kind of logistical moves are they making, that is, are they stockpiling them there for some kind of promotions, or do they really have any... theoretically, temporary difficulties, you know, it’s like guessing on maps or coffee grounds, what about the situation with ammunition in our country ? there is nothing to happen, there is definitely something, but there is such a saying, whoever fights knows that there are not enough weapons and ammunition, or there is not enough, or not enough, of course , the more, the better, the more our allies supply us with, or we make them, the better. and there is such a great situational replacement, you know, if there is not enough ammunition, you can

use something that you can make yourself, that is , homemade explosive devices, i drop them from drones or kamikaze drones, that is, if there is a temporary shortage of ammunition on a certain section of the front is something that everyone is obliged to use to stabilize the situation, what i will ask the russians, well, the russians say and our military experts also say that and the wagnerites as such in their classic e conception of what the wagnerites are, supposedly er-er ends er-er i do i understand in general that it is being tracked and who exactly is there and everyone. these are mobilized regular troops there, paratroopers somewhere, they did not throw reinforcements into the bahamut. also, does this have any effect on the fighting by the enemy, and for the armed forces of ukraine, it has some significance, who exactly is there

fighting against them, please, to what extent does this affect the course of hostilities and confrontations with the enemy? well, of course, sharp intelligence works and we more or less orientate ourselves on who is facing us, this is necessary primarily in order to orient ourselves on what forces and means the enemy has , because different parts have different means, well, regular ones, at least yes, if they don’t push, god knows that they form battalion tactical groups and, in principle, they can shove whatever they want, but the plywood at this time runs out from time to time, really, that’s how they they are quite aggressive and quite actively conducting offensive actions. well, from this, it is enough - quickly, the paratroopers, well, the paratroopers are a kind of technique, they are a kind of tactics, if you analyze which units are standing and what tactics they used even in this war , by the way, the paratroopers are ours terra units are old friends. they and i stood opposite

each other in the kherson region. they stood. they destroyed the artillery and then they collected coins and ran away . they didn’t like something. so i will say that there is no big difference who is standing there, and no matter who is standing there, we have one thing - to destroy them all, because only this will lead to the end of this war. and please tell me what i will ask of them. south, what teeth is the enemy trying to close around bakhmut? what is the situation there now? i don’t know if it is necessary to calculate the distance between these two fronts. as they say in the north and south . but is something changing there ? the enemy is more there advancing or pressing in the north or in the south, please, about their maneuver, the russians in general like to surround everything like

this they are trying, what is worth knowing is that logistics does not matter how many meters or centimeters there are, they are advancing in their business , perhaps you are wondering if the logistics route is preserved the logistics route is saved, you can bring in ammunition, you can rotate your infantry, you can evacuate the wounded, because so far we can say that this attempt of theirs to encircle it is not successful, because right here the idea is not to almost surround it in general, the war is a bit discrete. in this regard, the thing is, either you conducted the maneuver and achieved the result, that is, you cut off the enemy’s logistics, or if you conducted the maneuver in the heavens, that is, in this case, they did not achieve the results , thank you very much for your comments . to the members of the azov tactical group about the situation in the bakhmut direction

, of course, mykola tells what can be told, the situation is dynamic, the situation is changing. well, not in the sense that the more the enemy wins, the more we win the situation is simply changing very quickly and it is possible that it is no longer possible. and we will definitely learn more about the situation at the front around this from serhiy z gusya, director of the defense express agency , host of the military summary of the day. non-bahmut and they mentioned the wagnerians, how many of them are there, i read today also that the wagnerian supposedly ends , well, in particular, in the bakhmut direction , is this to be believed or can they be replenished very quickly and replenished, please? well, what about us if we crunch the numbers, there were 8,000 professional wagnerians in total , then about 40,000 were added to the elm, american intelligence reported at the end of last year that up to 30,000 wagnerians had been destroyed in total, and

just a few days ago our general staff said that in the last two weeks four and a half thousand wagners and other soldiers of the russian army were destroyed in the bahmut zone, that is , in general, the potential of the phag nerivians has been significantly exhausted ; we can see that their prisoners are more and more complicated, and at the same time, they are beautiful surely he has no choice but to go into politics because his army is actually ending right before our eyes, and later in our military program we will talk about the return of our soldiers from captivity, about italian guns for ukraine, and with our military experts we will really talk about the front about the war and the circumstances that affect this reality , about this in a moment, first of all, i will start with the fact that

130 ukrainian prisoners of war returned home on easter - they are servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine, teroboroniv national guard border guards this was reported by our coordination headquarters for the treatment of prisoners of war and this is a really good event for easter . according to the headquarters, at the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion , 2,235 ukrainians were freed from captivity , of course. we want all those guys who are still in to russian captivity, and then there is more good news - this is the supply of weapons to us from italy, so far italy and france are preparing to transfer this to the males of the interactive complex where our military has already trained on it ozerka, the complex has not yet arrived, but here are the powerful

m109 l guns of 155 mm caliber from italy, at least 30 such guns are already in the arsenal of our army, and now we see a video that another batch of such guns is headed to ukraine, in general, italy should hand over to us 30 self-propelled howitzers m- 109l and these howitzers were taken from the reserves of the italian army and repaired at the expense of the united states. the range of fire from these self-propelled guns is up to 30 km, depending on the type of projectile, and it takes only one minute to open fire from such self-propelled guns, and 30 seconds to leave the position we really need these at the front and for the additional staffing of the brigades that are being formed for our offensive, and then we talk about the situation at the front and not only about the front, now we are joined by yurii chornomorets, doctor of philosophy, theologian, volunteer and sniper yuriy i congratulate you on easter christ

resurrection truly resurrected everyone with a holiday thank you for such an important holiday, you found time for our broadcast and i would like you to first explain to our viewers how faith, love for loved ones, the desire for safety and with the urgent need to destroy the enemies in any way and at the same time to preserve our humanity, what happened is that the main innovation of christianity as a worldview is that all people are equal before god, all are free and not just some, as then in ancient society, a separate class is free and here are other fish, no christianity speaks about the sanctity of everyone's life, about the absolute dignity of every person , and accordingly it is precisely this absolute dignity , freedom, sanctity that we protect at the front, and

it is very important that sniping is such a way let's say, firstly, to surgically remove, let's say, targets that are important to us on the battlefield, and secondly, it really causes panic among the enemy , that is, the enemy is very often afraid of snipers, and accordingly, precisely if sniping is massive and there is simply sniping terror at the front, that's according to the negotiations russians, where we arrange sniper terror, we immediately hear a change in their mood and that they all want to enroll in the five hundred, how to refuse, how to shoot yourself in the arm, how to escape from the front, and this is very important because it in fact brings victory closer in the most humane way, well, firstly, by removing cancerous tumors, which are very important there , commanders and the like, but secondly, by instilling this very panic, you really need to change the mood of the russian army and have

such a way to heteroize them not so much that as in the 17th year they left the front and ran , so now they would have entered the front and ran from ukraine, and are there any such demonstrative examples of how the course of hostilities was changed when, well, the skill of a few people absolutely well turned them over in battle well, this happens all the time because now even here, in the past decade, the past decade, there was a question about how to drive the enemy away from the road of life to bakhmut, and here it is very important that uh, from the first brigade of bohun from the eighth regiment of special forces

operations, as well as some snipers , were joined by our wards. on the first day of such counter-offensive actions, we managed to push back 4 km, the next day another kilometer without such a massive use of snipers, and with a fifty -caliber sniper, it actually became a lifeline there, and then the guys called and said that her finger is still armored we have, let's say, normal cartridges fornedi. we shot there, let's bring them, we brought a whole carload of cartridges, respectively, and the guys replenished their ammunition supply, that is, they actually fired a month's ammunition supply in a few days

that is, the huge intensity of the battles, the huge number of impressions of the enemy, and let's say really inducing such panic and somewhere. these are the most unexpected things. that is, where panic can be induced on the enemy, for example, no one would think that so much, let's say, they will not like that their masking cities will be ignited in an unexpected way and these are interesting things, because this is changing the course right now, because well, let's say that we are defending ourselves quite successfully in bakhmut, this also affects snipers, and i want to say that people are taking a lot of risks they take a lot of risk, i almost died, one of the groups had to retreat through the basements in each new building, go in and shoot back at this time, let's say two guys were looking for how to get out through the basements to the next house and then , moving like this, they saved themselves, in fact

, and well very fierce battles, and accordingly even when we are retreating, nevertheless, the enemy has huge losses and it is very good that the guys know how to save themselves because well , let's say yes 20% - it's right to hit 20% - it's good to get into a position to disguise yourself 20% - it is to take and leave the position correctly and save your life and the life of your boys, it is very important that our boys know how to do everything. how much time does it take to train such a person who can really perform a combat mission in such difficult conditions, because i understand something. a sniper is his own an artificial product, an artificial person that has its own characteristics, but each one of them is unique, since it takes time to prepare a unique fighter. well, the fact is that, first of all, we are trying to make these groups that we command, if it is already six people, yes then

accordingly, a person commands who has been in the profession for 5 to 15 years, and accordingly, this ensures effective command, and now even whole sniper companies are being formed there , too, experience is the most important criteria. i only then get promoted to officer ranks and the like, and the second criterion is very important - this is what a person who is a ready sniper, but with a 308 caliber, for example , has worked all his life and then can be relearned in a few months for three three eight for 50 and bmg for 416 for 375 and for a person to be highly efficient fought here, we can say that from a month to four months. but again, even experience shows that after a person has spent four months studying for long-range sniping, it is still very good if he

goes to the fronts and acts as part of a group led by, let's say, experienced people who are all time at the front allows people to survive because, unfortunately, we had hidden folders when four months were spent on preparation there and people died on the first day because they simply went out in pairs without having this what we said before, let's say that it is a systematic cover . well, first of all, the snipers should cover each other from 6 to 10 people, and secondly, there should be the same number of scouts and other specialists who cover all the snipers, and then we ensure exactly what we have given 115 rifles today and we only have two dead snipers from graphic people and two crippled and all the others, thank god, continue to fight , but one person was commissioned due to numerous

contusions, due to eight contusions and because of the fact that in our army, you know, people are underpaid i received 21,000 hryvnias all the time, and they said, you know, i already have 8 concussions, i will go to the rear, the cartridges are spinning, but no matter how hard i can , they do not respect my dignity as a professional, they are delaying all these payments. i think it is very unethical, no matter what i think it is such a critical problem now because if we are dealing with such an artificial product that has been prepared for years, the americans were preparing for what our people, the french there and other people, if they were preparing, this person gains experience with his hands for years, then it is not appreciated , she is paid 21,000 uah, although she all the time in bakhmuti is fighting, and as they say, go, he’s frequent, well, you know, for some, it’s the fate of humiliating themselves and

they simply resign. unfortunately, i don’t know. we had to think about this system in our armed forces and let’s say , let’s say, return to, let’s say, a normal system of payment for such as there is now thanks for the inclusion , i think that we will still return to our programs regarding the issue of sniping, and i will also remind you that you can go to your facebook to see what kind of rifle he has, we are currently collecting funds and supporting the ukrainian sniper, this is now it is extremely important and i would like to remind our viewers that yuriy chornomorets was a sniper and a volunteer in filik, but the fate of our war is decided not only on the battlefield . when

the prospects of our counter-offensive and the prospects of a further arrangement with the russian federation begin to be assessed in different ways in western media. after a period of an active phase of hostilities, andriy joins us ryzhenko, expert of the center for defense strategies, ex-deputy chief of staff of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, captain of the first rank of the reserve p andriy, i congratulate you good evening, you just returned from romania, there were representatives of the countries of the black sea region, there was a rather serious event, where the ministers of defense and the minister foreign affairs experts actually discussed the current situation with challenges to security as a result of the aggression of the russian federation against ukraine, what

main recommendations were adopted there, for what they were targeted and how will they be implemented? well, indeed, this forum was attended by representatives of more than 40 countries that support ukraine at the level of the minister of defense, the minister of foreign affairs or their deputies . what they all support means to provide such support to ukraine's political it was announced at the level of such a political party that there was no one thing that was very serious . the first thing that was discussed was the implementation of mine countermeasures, especially after the end of hostilities in the black sea. because the mine
