[000:00:00;00] carefully. i think we will watch this situation and see where it actually leads the russian federation, its federal government, but i hope there are opportunities for us to take advantage of this situation because it is obvious that when everything breaks down when they have hysteria and the search for literally everyone's internal enemies, this always also destabilizes the government very much, thank you. it was maria kucherenko, an analyst of the fund, you will bring him back alive . well, we will meet with you next week, so we will see each other, it is difficult to talk about that what do you feel when you have urinary incontinence, an unpleasant situation can arise at any time, even with a slight effort , fortunately - this is behind me, feminost uro helped me thanks to the natural ingredients feminost uro helps

changed after the occupying forces were stuck in battles for months from the kriminnaya area to the bakhmut ugledar and avdiyivka, what is the situation on the front lines, why are active battles constantly taking place only in certain hot spots, and is russia preparing reserves for another offensive at the beginning of may, donbass has been for almost a week the rains are pouring down and this significantly complicates the road to the position of the ukrainian military, the old man with you struggles through the mud, this is a daily route, despite the weather, the car stopped

at the moment of urgent evacuation, one car stopped at the time of the emergency evacuation , thank god that there was another one, instead, they called urgently, the second car left literally the day before yesterday, we were leaving to evacuate the 300th around midnight. even though the injury is not very terrible, but due to the loss of blood, the speed of evacuation decided everything for a while, we walk along the path leading to the position, the remains of incendiary ammunition are visible for such actors, it crumbles this is a cassette that crumbles and falls and ignites everything around, but now it's spring and it's raining and it practically doesn't work, it's practically a useless thing in my opinion, so in my opinion, today

our opponent has a band and it's just running out of bulls and they're smacking about what is, well, there are more interesting positions fighters are hidden in a forest strip that has already been covered by greenery, so the main problem is aerial reconnaissance, which they are trying to suppress with an anti-drone gun , and the thing cuts the remote control, the thing cuts the remote control connecting the remote control with drones, in principle, if you hold it, roughly speaking, on the hook you can plant him with an electromagnetic one, he has a battery, he can’t move from his place and comes out, they plant him where he was hanging , 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 . it's a pity, it's normal in different ways well, they just dig, there's no mood, they're gone, there were a lot of disagreements , so we would be brothers a little more, friends would help us more later in business, because we are a little organic in our own work with this bull, if we had enough bc, of ​​course, i think they didn’t dig there at all, well, where there was a landing

, there were no longer any. yes, these trenches are already the vanguard of one of the flanks in the bakhmut defense operation due to the fact that the landscape in front of the soldiers is quite difficult. it happens, well, it happens with drops, it happens very hard, it happens easily, we dominate in different ways, we clearly dominate for a moment. and regarding that , 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 and change them to other brigades, well, other brigades are coming, they are also suffering losses, luckily, maybe they will finally go home to themselves, luckily, maybe they will finally go home to themselves , as the fighters say opposite them , three divisions have already changed. 28 brigade in this direction already has several for months, one of the flanks

of the defense is being held back under constant fire, but it is taking the initiative itself. observation points further and further towards the enemy, we occupy more and more of our land, we squeeze the enemy because his forces are running out and we feel that we have more and more strength, and our task is to hold this front and prepare it for an offensive in the winter, the main forces of the army the russian federation rushed to capture the settlements around bakhmutka with the aim of encircling the city and cutting off

the logistics of the armed forces of ukraine. houses and streets at first they tried in the south er they tried to advance to ivanivskoe there were very heavy battles especially for the highway they saw er through ivanivskoe such a logistically important route they tried to take it er now the defense forces stopped them already for quite a long time, our defense forces hold this route , they 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 then they knocked it out, then over time they moved to

the northern direction, that is, they tried to go around from above from the side of northern bakhmut, quite a large force overturned there, there was a great intensity, they pressed, they took a significant number of settlements, villages, and settlements, 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 those in hand to er, well, they show that they allegedly took this settlement, but no , their main task is to block the route through crow , i.e., another logistical direction in the direction of bakhmut, which was used by er forces defenses to get into the city. now, unfortunately, we cannot use it 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, uh, as an attempt to fulfill the instructions from the kremlin to go to the administrative borders of luhansk and donetsk oblasts, the exit deadlines were postponed phrase three nobody got anywhere and in the future it will not be possible, but they desperately need to show some significant or minor success by may 9, and they believe that it is bakhmut who can do this to become a success, according to the pop of this struggle, huge resources are thrown in without account, the available reserves are spent without end , the units that lose their abilities will be strengthened quite quickly and, accordingly

, the enemy will not change tactics except to demolish the quarter and after that to start infantry on the ruins and consider something already captured. here they are. in this way, they control about 90-92% of what is left of the baknut. so , most likely, this recovery is already subject to it. well, for us, the marker of success is enemy losses and time which he has been calling 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 as a betrayal of the security of the united states, according to him, the russian federation is trying with all its might to surround city ​​and it turned into a war

of attrition, according to the ukrainian command , more than 25,000 russian troops, 65 tanks and up to half a thousand armored fighting vehicles, two hundred units of artillery and rsv are fighting in the direction of bakhmut. well, the resource is concentrated all-in-all near a small town. and at the same time, the grouping of russian troops in the left bank kherson region and also the grouping in the zaporizhzhia region do not receive sufficient material and technical support, and they experience a shortage of regular equipment both in terms of personnel and equipment. it is precisely because this equipment, 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 from call sign kipish is preparing the equipment for his departure. the crew has been on the outskirts of bakhmut donbas for more than a month. realities have already met with him in this area in december. since then, the tanker has shaved his beard. well, i came from vacation this year, i was ready to go. well, next time i will shave when i am on vacation. i saw

my relatives. and i even disappeared on memorial sunday. i was very lucky. to prepare and determine the coordinates and open fire there, ready to quickly ukrainian tankers from closed positions work on the advanced positions of the russian troops in the bakhmut direction, this is actually the usual work for tanks, part works with direct fire , part works in the mode of such quasi-artillery, but the main part of the battles are assigned at shorter

distances when the enemy is 50-100-300 500 m from us. that is, it changed like this . as they shot , they shot. the infantry cover leaves, removes everything in front of it, and the infantry in this unit constantly use the t-64, which immediately after firing goes into the shelter of the tanks, an important element when help is needed on the front line, the rain in donbas

has stopped for several days, but the mud that formed with their end, it is still making 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 correct this moment while waiting for the coordinates for shooting the paratroopers are watching the broadcast from the drone, you can see the arrival there already in the morning, i asked for the coordinates, only the court, this is the women's 105, and we work constantly when the stream is turned on, even at night, someone had to be on it all the time, then at night, too, it is possible to enter the trees, everything can be a goal, when we climbed out, we shoot at them, as

soon as they come out, we immediately drop this pair of fire on us, the columns are laying down. actions on the front line here, periods of lulls and intensification of battles constantly alternate every day, please know, there is silence, it calms down. as the front specialist said, we can not work for three days at all, silence is calm, everything is fine, but there are moments when it means , well, aim well enough, and they will say a lot they are releasing a bull to us, but they are now really concerned that they don't have such a thing, i'm already here as strong as in other directions, that is, they have a little less and that's all, these firecrackers and they are crawling, crawling meat, that's okay

german shepherd rex runs among the paratroopers. she joined the soldiers during the kharkiv counterattack. after that, the paratroopers were with her at the front both in the donetsk and luhansk regions. everywhere has its own specifics . this is the previous ones . but they became more, er, for this trench warfare if it became good, but before that we had such an active , well, every day mortars came out, guns came out well, that is , every day we were in russia, every day a couple of times a day, your fire could change there too something and this is now more than here, they have become 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 without success, we look like this just so that they don't come to the guys

from the side, too. we're holding it here, so you can see there's not a phosphorescent firefly flying like that , they're completely falling asleep there in general, where is 70 yes, there's 72 brigade standing there in general, such cyborgs as i don't know, the boys are standing there, well, i'm just freaking out. we're there in the fields, after landing somewhere under a tree, something else fell there, there, too , and they're spreading it, here it comes, it's coming under fire here without any changes, so it was, so it is. after that attack, when we recaptured two of our positions, rather here , at least this is how to play, then this is here, if they did not fly here, then the spells of the night were somewhere not far away . hailstorms were for a significant part of the time, the military strengthens the positions and expands the system of chances by adjusting for the weather and constantly

waits for the start of active battles, which already here there were well, how is it not a traitor, a mortar hits you, a tank, then a self-propelled gun, and drones fly over you, all kinds of gifts are dropped on one . that is, i have not been in such a situation that they did not even allow me to stick out my head . let's go for copies and here, on the walkie-talkie, a wounded man is transferred to a nearby position due to a sudden mortar fire, as he accepted, and the unit moves forward to cover him by evacuation, in general , up to 400,000 russian soldiers are currently in ukraine, this is the data of kostyantyn

mashovets with information about the resistance, taking into account the the total number of weapons and military equipment that these troops have, they are in dire need of tanks and armored fighting vehicles, the command of russian units takes place through 5 separate grouped troops, the most numerous of which are the south and the east, there is also a separate group that is located directly in crimea, that is, each unit is not only people, this is also equipment, and this is not only equipment, it is also provision . for example, if we talk about their group, e. let's say it's almost 75 or 80 battalions of tactical groups, we see that according to some nomenclature of equipment, they have

a set of 15 kts for 20 vtg . it is mainly infantry, ordinary infantry in rinks in body armor, which is better damaged by arrows with human weapons , respectively, weapons and military equipment , it is still modern, not modern, of the last century , there is the past century, if they have enough there in order to arm them according to the current states and supply norms. well, no more than half, that is, everything else is just a mask of people and small arms, uh, 300-400 thousand, that's a lot , what they are capable of, we will turn away a lot of them, but there are a lot of them and in this

the problem is that the operation to invade ukraine was started by 180 battalions of tactical groups that numbered about 200-220 thousand personnel . it was a lot. these were professional armed forces. now the situation has changed . the operatives lost a lot of armed fighters. about half, if not more, of its professional army, killed, wounded, prisoners, disappeared, except for bahmut and part of avdiivka , russia did not achieve serious successes during the offensive operation in the donbass and kharkiv region, having switched to active defense in many areas of the front in the country of kupyansk flint northern coal and marinka are fighting for positions with variable success, but despite the conditionally static front line and losses, the russian troops are still trying to advance, they simply

cannot stop, because they announced the exit to the borders of some dnr, well, that is, the capture of the entire administrative borders of the donetsk region, and what will be developed. and if they stop, they can’t stop, it ’s the same as stopping with a notebook to say yes, no , we withdraw our troops and flee from there, it makes no sense anymore, which makes no sense. that is, there tens of thousands of russian occupiers were destroyed tens of thousands were wounded destroyed 1000 units of equipment were spent colossal volume of ammunition and so on and so on and that everything is the end and the same with maryanka maryanka is our ukrainian terasima is no longer there at all, and they no longer exist , they have such, but they can’t even take over this city, which does not exist

, what will they do in the future, they will say yes, no, we refuse further assault actions we will leave everything as it is, will we even leave their units and they can't say that, just like they can't say it near the car, their tasks at the moment should be to capture the bakhmut lyman vehicle, get to kupyansk, take maryinka, take pervomaisk in the sand area there, advance further ugledar belogorivka is controversial, where they are still pressing and cannot remove it to this day . what we see, we can barely see. they are advancing in bakhmut avdiivka.

there is such a dense defense that they ca n’t even get there normally the 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 kyvlyuk believes, and in general , all actions of russia and the front now are preparations for defense, now the russian military command is preparing to conduct a strategic defensive operation and no one there has any idea of ​​the counteroffensive projects and there are no such intentions, and all those who are conscious in the headquarters there are clearly aware that the available forces and means were enough to stop the ukrainian counterattack for that

in order to carry out yours, you need to have an advantage in the air , trains are not a group that is capable of delivering a powerful blow , this group must be properly mechanized in order not only to break through our defenses in certain areas, but also to quickly advance this depth . we can talk about tactical-level combat, but now the enemy is preparing precisely for defense and, by conducting 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 new reserves and trying around the clock to achieve success in the same directions as before, these areas are small, but such defense and ukrainian armies are not given for nothing, because a significant part of the resources of equipment, ammunition and people are stocking up for a future

counteroffensive, it was donbas reality my name is roman pagolych see you big broadcast of vasyl zima my name is vasyl zima two hours of air time until 21:00 two hours of your time, we will talk about the most important thing for two hours to learn about the war, our broadcast serhiy zhoretska military summaries of the day and what is the world? and new sports yevhen pastukhov is ready to talk about sports for two hours in the company of his favorite hosts about culture during the war
