[000:00:00;00] attacks on us, so we really have to be careful about such things. i think that we will watch this situation and see where it actually leads the russian federation, its federal power, but i hope that there are opportunities for us to take advantage of this situation because it is obvious that when everything breaks when uh, they have hysteria and the search for literally everyone's internal enemies , this always also destabilizes the government very much. next week, so see you, this is the reality of donbas, this time we will talk about how russia's war with ukraine changed after the occupying forces were tied up in battles from the kriminnaya region to

bakhmut ugledar and avdiivka for months, what is the situation on the front lines, why are active battles constantly ongoing only in certain hot spots and whether russia is preparing reserves for another offensive at the beginning of may donbas has been flooded with rain for almost a week and this significantly complicates the road to the position of the ukrainian military your old man is struggling to make his way through the mud daily route, despite the weather, the moment is urgent, the tow truck, one car stopped at the moment of emergency evacuation, thank god that there was another one, instead, they urgently called, urgently

, the second car left literally the day before yesterday, we left to take out the 300th in the north. the speed of evacuation is very important here, the 300th was with a lot of blood loss and even though the wound is not very terrible, but because of the loss of blood, the speed of evacuation decided everything for a while, we walk along the path that leads to the position, the remains of incendiary ammunition are visible for such actors, the cassette crumbles, which crumbles, falls and ignites everything around, but now it is spring and rain, and it practically does not work and is practically a useless thing , in my opinion, therefore, in my opinion, today our

opponent has groups and simply runs out of bc and they are already gloating about what they are. well, be more interesting about the positions of the fighters. they are hidden in a forest strip that has already been covered with greenery, so the main problem is aerial reconnaissance, which they are trying to suppress with an anti-drone gun and stuff everything cuts the remote control. this thing cuts the remote control, the connection of the remote control with the drone, and you, in principle, if you hold it, roughly speaking, on the hook of such an electromagnetic, you can plant it , the battery sits in it, it cannot move from its place and comes out, they plant it where it was hanging, they plant it he hung there, let’s say thanks to the data from the drone, the fighters know that the enemy opposite is now digging in, this process is trying

to interrupt this process with point fire, knock out the sixth , the sixth, well, it’s a pity, he’s fine, it’s actually a problem, how can i say against the infantry, where they themselves received a little bit, so it’s a pity, it’s fine in different ways well, they just dig, there is no mood, they will just come out. we already had a lot of talk there, so that the brothers, a little more, and friends would help with everything because we are a little organic cars from the mbk and everything would be quite okk, then of course me

it seems that they did not dig there at all, well, where there was a landing, there was no longer a roof, they were already covered. the vanguard is one of the flanks in the bakhmut defense operation due to the fact that the landscape in front of the soldiers is quite difficult. the situation here is plus-minus stable. it's hard, it's easy, we dominate in different ways, it's definitely a moment. and as for whether they increased or decreased, and they mostly become smaller, this is an indicator that their brigades are changing here, we know about it because of the interception, some brigades leave , they are replaced by other brigades, well, other brigades come they also suffer losses, fortunately, maybe they will finally go home , luckily, maybe they will finally go home , as the fighters say, opposite them , three divisions of the 28th brigade have already changed in this direction

for several months now, one of the flanks of the defense has been holding back under constant fire, but it is also taking the initiative into its own hands. in the direction of the enemy, we are occupying more and more of our land, we are squeezing the enemy because his strength is running out, and we feel that we have more and more strength, and our task is to hold this front and prepare it for the offensive in the winter, the main forces of the russian army rushed to capture settlements around bakhmutka with the aim of encircling the city and cutting off the islet. in the spring, hostilities broke out

directly in the place, slowly advancing to the bakhmutka river and further to the west. the battles continued and continue to this day for individual houses and streets. at first, they they tried in the south eh they tried to advance to ivanivskoe there were very heavy battles especially for the highway they saw eh through ivanivsk such a logistically important route they tried to take it eh now the forces the defense forces stopped them and for quite a long time, our defense forces hold this route and do not allow it to be permanently occupied, although there was such a dynamic situation that there was a time when they reached and secured themselves, but they were knocked out by hand , then over time they moved to the northern direction, that is, they tried

to go around from above from the north side of bakhmut, quite a large force overturned there, there was a great intensity, they pressed, they took a significant number of settlements there, villages, villages , and their goal was these chrome ones. they are still trying to take this settlement and a lot of fakes are now working on it manually so that, well, they show that they allegedly took this settlement, but no, their main task is to block the route through frouga , that is, another logistical direction in the direction of bahmut, which was used by the defense forces to get into now, unfortunately , we cannot use the city because the fire control is so intense, although we control the road, but it is very

dangerous to move along it. as for bahmut, it started 8 months ago, as an attempt to fulfill pegivku from the kremlin to go to the administrative borders of luhansk and donetsk oblasts , the deadlines for the exit were postponed, phrase three, no one went anywhere. the success of becoming, accordingly, the top of that struggle , huge resources are thrown in without consideration , available reserves are wasted, which must endlessly strengthen units that lose their combat capabilities quite

quickly and, accordingly, the enemy without changing tactics except how to demolish a quarter and after that bring infantry to the ruins and assume that something was taken from them. in this way , they control somewhere around 90-92% of what is left of the baknut. so, most likely, this restoration is already subject to that, so for the steering wheel success. and you are against the enemy for the withdrawal of these hostilities since december 22nd. russia under bakhmut and in other regions of ukraine lost a hundred thousand personnel, of which 20,000 were killed. these numbers were announced by john kirby and betrayed the security

of the united states, according to him, by the russian federation from trying his best to surround the city and it turned into a war of attrition according to the ukrainian command in the direction of bakhmut, now more than 25,000 russian troops are fighting, 65 tanks and up to half a thousand armored combat vehicles, two hundred units of artillery and rsv , well, this is a resource that is concentrated only near a small town and at the same time, the groups of russian troops in the left bank kherson region, as well as the groups in the zaporozhye region, do not receive sufficient patrimonial and technical support, and they feel shortage of regular equipment, both in terms of personnel and equipment. it is because, first of all, 5 cm personnel and other means or supplies are the same, and so on, it is all sent in the exact

direction of the bakhmut bridgehead, the tank commander with the call sign kipyaz is preparing the equipment for his departure . the crew has already been on the outskirts of the donbas fort a month. realities have already met with him in this area in december. since then, the tanker bared his beard. sunday ago was well i came from vacation, this one was from my relatives, well, next time there will be a splash when i will be on vacation, i will see my relatives

. and just in time, i even made it to memorial sunday, very well, i was lucky . the tank breaks its way through the bushes and heads to the position for combat work. it takes a few minutes to prepare and determine the coordinates, and there opens fire, ready quickly . buvai ukrainian tankers from closed positions work on the advanced positions of russian troops in the direction of bakhmut, this is actually the usual work for tanks. such quasi-artillery, but the main part of the battles are at much shorter distances when

the enemy is 50-100-300 500 meters 15 that is, it changed like this how they shot, they shot faster, it is necessary to bring in infantry, for example, in a position, we bring in infantry to the rear, a tank moves in , if the cover of the infantry moves out, it removes everything in front of it and the infantry enters in this unit, they constantly use the t-64, which immediately after firing goes to cover the tanks , an important element when you need help on the front line, the rain in donbas

has stopped for several days, but the mud that formed from them in conclusion, it still makes significant changes in the way we have to get to the position and the cars that take us closer to the advanced positions, in the end one of them sat down , the military is trying to justify this moment while waiting for the coordinates for shooting, the paratroopers are watching the broadcast from the drone there, you can see the arrival there already in the morning here i asked for the coordinates of the presence , it is a female 105 and it works, well, constantly when the stream is turned on, even at night, someone always had to be on it, then at night, too, it is possible to enter the trees, everything can be a goal when under we climbed up on them, we move them in, they just come out, we immediately drop this pair of fire on us, the circle does not fall they either do not reach them or they are delayed very much

82 mm mortars fire a little further 4 km ago, the fighters immediately feel the changes in the combat operations on the front line here periods lulls and intensification of battles constantly alternate oh, every day we ask, you don’t know, there is silence for peace as the front specialist said, we can not work for three days at all, silence , peace, everything is fine, but there are such moments that as it is not enough to say that they are releasing a bull to us, there was one of them, now it really concerns that they do not have such a force here as in other directions , that is, they have a little less, and that these firemen are crawling and crawling meat, that’s normal among the paratroopers the german shepherd rex is running, she joined the soldiers even during the kharkiv counteroffensive, after that the paratroopers were with her at the front

both in donetsk and luhansk regions , everywhere has its own specifics . mobile phones have become more this trench warfare has become a thing of the past, but before that we had an active, well, every day mortars came out, flies came out, well, that is, every day we were in russia, every day a couple of times a day, your fire could change something else there , and this is now more one position on the horizon, vugledar is a small mining town and its surroundings, the main point of effort for the russian military, starting from january 23rd , the russian military periodically tries to storm and knock out the ukrainian defenders from their positions, but unsuccessfully, we see the same

so that they don't come to the boys from the side, too. even here, i'm holding it through the city, so you can see a phosphorescent one flying, such fireworks are completely falling asleep there, in general, there is 70 yes , the 72nd brigade is there, in general, such cyborgs , i don't know, it's not like that, it's standing there, well we endured such and such. we are there in the fields after landing somewhere under a tree . something else fell there, too. they spread everything. the firing is coming. there is no change. it was like that and it is. well, a little. our positions rather here at least this is how to play, this is here. they did not greet the first. yesterday night there were hailstorms somewhere not far away. for a significant part of the time , the military consolidates positions and expands the system of chances by adjusting for the weather and constantly

waits for the start of active battles that have already been here. well, this is not a traitor to you eat a mortar, a tank, then saul, and drones fly over you too, all kinds of gifts are dropped on one, that is, i have never been in such a situation that they did not even allow me to stick out my head, here i am driving them a little further , their place is over there in russia, we are already leaving the trenches and here, on the radio, they transmit the wounded on the neighboring one positions due to a sudden shot, the mortar watch as he took it seriously took it from the top of the day 1.5.0 in general and the unit is pushed forward to cover its evacuation as a whole , there are now up to 400 thousand russian soldiers in ukraine, this is the data of konstantin mashovets with the information of the resistance, taking into account the total amount of weapons and military equipment which these troops have, they are in dire need of

tanks and armored fighting vehicles , the command of russian units takes place through five separate groups of troops, the most numerous of which are the south and the east is also a separate group that is located directly in the crimea, that is, each unit is not only people, it is equipment and it is not only equipment, it is also security. for example, if we talk about their group dnipro, for example , the personnel in this group is almost 64,000 or something 000 personnel, let's say it's almost 75 80 battalions of tactical groups, we see that according to some nomenclature of equipment, they have a complete set of 15 kt for 20 vtg, no more than that. and this says

that this group cannot fully to carry out their combat tasks, the crowd is mainly infantry, ordinary infantry in rinks, in body armor, in the best case, with arrows, with german weapons, respectively , weapons and combat equipment are still modern , not modern, of the last century, the last century , what do they have there, enough to arm according to the current states and supply norms well, no more than half, that is, everything else is just a mask of people with small arms, er, 300-400 thousand is a lot, what they are capable of, they

are capable of little, let's be honest, but there are a lot of them and in this is the problem, the repeat operation in ukraine started with 180 to a million tactical groups, which numbered somewhere around 200-220,000 personnel, there were a lot of them, they were professional armed forces, now the situation has changed, operatives lost about half, if not more, of their professional army in the armament of combat equipment wounded prisoners disappeared, except for bakhmut and part of avdiyivka , russia did not achieve serious successes during the offensive operation in donbas and kharkiv oblast by switching to active defense in many areas of the front in the country of kupyansk, crimean seversk ughledara and maryinka, positional battles are going on with variable success, but despite the relatively static front line and losses, russian troops are still trying to advance, they simply cannot stop, because they announced an exit

to the borders of some dnr, well, that is, capture completely within the administrative boundaries of the donetsk region and what they are doing now will they stop and they can't stop it's the same as stopping with a notebook to say yes no we are withdrawing our troops and fleeing from there, it doesn't make sense, which makes no more sense. that is, tens of thousands of russian invaders were destroyed there , tens of thousands were wounded, destroyed, 1,000 pieces of equipment were spent . a colossal amount of ammunition and so on. yanks maryinka is our ukrainian terasima, it is no longer there at all and they no longer exist marly, but there is no way they can even capture this city that they exist , what will they do in the future they will say

yes, no, we refuse further assaults actions we leave everything as it is, in general, we will leave our units from there, and they cannot say this, just as they can't say it near the car, their tasks at this time, it was necessary to capture the audio girl bakhmut lyman, and get to kupyansk, and take maryinka er take in the area of ​​sand there pervomaisk advance further ugli dar belogorivka disputed where they are still pressing and can not remove to this day what we see we can barely see they are advancing in the bakhmut avdiyivka they are trying to surround and we can see it on the map but they don't get it about the place itself, it's not even a question. that is, there is such a dense defense that

they ca n't even get there normally. otherwise, i am generally silent in the case of a full occupation of bakhmut forces in order to develop its further offensive in the direction of kostiantynivka . at least in the near future , there will be no aggressor ukraine, viktor kyvniuk believes, and in general , all actions of russia on the front line now are preparation for defense, now the russian military command is preparing to carry out a strategic defense operation and counteroffensive projects, no one there has any idea or intentions. there are no such intentions, and everyone who is in the headquarters there is clearly aware that the available forces and means are enough to stop the ukrainian counteroffensive in order to carry out one needs to have an advantage in the air of the train in it , a group capable of striking a powerful

blow, this group must be properly mechanized in order not only to break through our defense in certain areas, but also to quickly advance into this depth, the russians currently do not have a maximum that we can talk about at the tactical level , but i will repeat now, the enemy is preparing precisely for the defense, and by conducting a strategic defense, the operation intends to intercept the strategic university already for months, hundreds of kilometers of the front line remain relatively stable, despite the fact that the russian military is throwing in blue reserves and trying around the clock to reach success in the same directions as before, these areas are small, but such a defense is not given to the ukrainian army easily, because a significant part of the resources of equipment, ammunition and people are being accumulated for the future counteroffensive, it was donbas reality my name is
