[000:00:00;00] to work and even as the occupiers themselves note in their publications that the pressure of our armed forces is increasing. well, regarding this pressure and undisputed successes, we will wait for official comments from the general staff of ukraine from the armed forces. well, then i would also like to ask about the situation in the occupied territory of the kherson region, is something possible, are there any signals of certain drastic changes, are the escapes continuing, even if you want to call the evacuation an escape of collaborators, he is an attempt to evacuate ukrainian citizens, well, now in this of the situation in the crimea occupied by russia, information has passed through a number of information resources about the fact that the occupiers have set a certain deadline for the passporting of the so-called civilian population until the first of

september, that is, they are pretending that nothing is happening there the trend of evacuation and, unfortunately, deportation of the civilian population continues, and as experience shows , the civilian population is being deported precisely to the settlements located on the border of crimea, this suggests that it is possible, possible, there is a high probability that uh, the occupiers want to cover themselves with the civilian population, uh, by increasing uh, the density of the population in certain settlements bordering crimea, uh, maybe they just want to use it, uh, in your dirty terrorist military actions. well, even today , if i don't i'm wrong, but after all, today we said goodbye to the heroes and sappers who

cleared the kherson region of enemy mines and came under enemy fire, that is, the enemy not only left mine, he also somehow tracked, perhaps with a drone or something, the work on these mined territories and ukrainian fighters, sappers, ukrainian heroes died, maybe a few words about these people and it is important because the fight against mines continues and the worst thing is that it is not only the fight that has changed, it is also the fight against mines. in the city of mykolaiv, unfortunately, these are the next victims of the occupiers, people who gave their lives for the sake of ukraine, for the sake of kherson oblast, they were engaged in emergency situations and not

only demining, it was for firefighting, it was the demolition of the rubble and, unfortunately, there are many such victims today, because the occupier continues to shell the city and continues to shell it at the very moments when these services are working, and before that, three oblenergo workers who were restoring electricity supply were killed a few days ago, and there are many wounded, and its victims are among the employees of the water company heat networks , i.e. medical workers , i have been repeatedly fired upon, e.e., ambulances , including the victims of the dead workers . that is, these are the brave people who protect their lives today under fire and give the opportunity to fully live in the territory that is mercilessly shelled by the enemy, therefore, great respect for those who work and remember those who laid down their lives for the sake of our state, for the sake of the citizens and people of our country. do you know about the question

and where is peredova? there is no such as on the actual front because it is really hell, especially so in principle in many areas here only probahmut maryinka vugledar avdiyivka flint matchmaker we are going, but also the zaporizhia direction and the kherson direction well, but kherson is where people are fixing electricity, peredova, you clear the mines, peredova, you take out the wounded, peredova, you bake bread, you treat people in kherson, you can also deliver it, because people can also fly in, and not only rockets. unfortunately, the s-300 or a mortar is there, or else ? it is somehow leveled a little, the feeling of the front line is not the front line, because if there is a war outside the city, yes , then we understand that it is a suburb there , there are trenches somewhere high, and there are other structures there that stop the enemy, you understand, the

demarcation line separates us from the enemy today the dnipro river. well, it’s actually so natural and the barrier is up to 1 km in size. behind which the enemy is immediately located , not only mortars but small arms also fly in. snipers are constantly working. an example of this is the journalist who died recently in antonivskoe. of the bridge, precisely from the hands of a sniper, and mortars are one of the most used weapons, weapons that constantly bombard the city, an insidious weapon , you can hardly hear the departure, and in fact, after a few seconds, the arrival of, for example, a stop public transport as it was on ship square where there were many victims killed and injured for comments take care roman golovnia as deputy mayor of kherson about the situation in the region again in both parts of kherson oblast and on the left and right banks where is the enemy today well, in

principle, also honestly let's say you are ahead, you don't know when natalya kanichenko will strike, and the deputy of the bilopol city council, the bilopol community of sumy oblast is the same community where ms. natalya can always strike . i congratulate you so well. i would like to hear you first ask everything about the security situation in the community. well, let's do it. since we rarely communicate with the bilopol community, we don't talk about sumshchyna every day, so i 'll generally say yes. well, in the last few days , maybe in a week, if there are any changes for the better or for the worse. tell me. please no, i mean exactly, let's go for your community , we will already ask about the bilopolska community, and i can continue roman's story about mr. roman's kherson. we don't always hear, but we hear and see the arrivals. yesterday, at seven in the morning, our community began to be shelled directly in the city, not only in

the suburbs, but it was already 4:30 p.m. in the city and everything is like that in this city, that is, the communication is actually bad because the poles were damaged the lines were damaged and there was a little communication , that's why yesterday houses were damaged, a private enterprise, people , thank god, were not hurt, but the day before yesterday , a person died in our community in the border border village, spring, people go, awards , people want to live, revive, work and right in the garden, a man was killed by a change bar, unfortunately, he is a 56-year-old man. she was injured the first time, she broke their house , they moved to live in another house, but he still returned to his garden and found death there, and unfortunately , well, today we again had explosions about the victims we haven't heard. this is how we live, but we work. our farmers are leaving

school little by little where it is possible to work . this is how they bring bread, gas, electricity, and repairs. of bilopolska minimal to the enemy territory as far as i understand and the enemy is not moskovskiy we have a village where the border is along the street at the same time on the street and in russia the other part is in ukraine, that is, the distance is such that people will not feel how the enemy starts the equipment warms up well, in another russians live in a part of this village. yes, i understand that, but they don't go here and there freely, right now , well, they don't go freely anymore, and they are close to the border. well, let's say i don't want to tell all the secrets, but today our protection is reliable, let's say it's not close they are approaching but they are shooting and flying mortars are flying pows are flying hail we hear it all we are hiding so how do you manage to overcome the consequences i understand that you know this how do you work for

a man to the regret of the deceased they told him the kingdom of heaven who in one house completely moved to another house but the war as then they say in the person of the russians that he got his death with this mine and there they understood that it is very difficult to complicate the consequences because today you can present consequences and tomorrow these consequences will be done with new force, only this work is being done in order to try to restore at least something somewhere to repair something, somehow to live on well, i understand you, the first thing we do is literally well, not us, it is ours and the workers of communal services, the city government and all the caring volunteers , people, this is the first thing we restore people's housing, as soon as it arrived , people come to these streets and kill the windows are covered with film, humanitarian funds are helping, uh, they are covering the houses with slabs, the emergency department is working here, well done, the guys who kicked you out came

right away and helped people. the improvement of the village does not remain without bread without e-e humanitarian aid to energy workers, i heard a previous colleague who spoke about honoring energy workers and workers of the gas industry, they join us as the light went out, shelling was not shelling, the guys went , they also came under fire more than once, but our farmers are working today with with very strict compliance with mine requirements , they go out into the field, unfortunately, we have a tragic case when a hailstone blew up on an anti-tank mine, but the guys are working today when they hear a tractor humming in the field, well, in us rises because you understand that life goes on in my opinion in kharkiv region, kharkiv region, if i am not mistaken, er, a local farmer has already developed a radio-controlled tractor there, with the help of specialists, which is covered in armor with trophy trophy armor from russian trophy equipment, and he drives this

tractor, demining the territory, maybe in sumy region especially your community would also like such a nougau as they say to accept mining when replacing a new border and this is right and it should be done and the second is when we have a lot of unexploded bomb shells and so on which they fly in, they don't explode, they lie on the ground, they lie on the streets, well, that is, this is a slightly different topic, but it is also dangerous and people can be hurt by cars, because there are a lot of projectiles flying that do not explode, we have 30 seconds left, but many or many residents have left the bilopol community, and what are the rates of return what can we talk about , many residents have left, but migration, again, it takes place within the community, within the region, some move from border villages to the city, some from the city move to the region, some return people are waiting, they want to return, but they are coming, show me the gardens, well, i’m just

the people who come, so they make up the zone of militants , lord, because that’s how they are used to our people. the difficult fate of the budapest community bordering the aggressor country , which belongs to the sumy region, which survived the occupation, now lives under enemy fire . we will discuss the important thing with my colleague serhii zgurets next to the battle map literally in a minute it is difficult to talk about what you feel when you have urinary incontinence , an unpleasant situation can arise at any time even from a slight effort, fortunately - this is behind me helped by feminist uro thanks to

natural the component of feminost uro helps to restore control over urination in the melon at night now i am all sure that feminost uro urination is under control mykola veresen vitaly portnikov and the main topics of the week are if, god forbid, tactical nuclear weapons are used against ukraine , it will definitely change the world. history, problems, analysis and personalities are waiting for us. john gerbs is the former ambassador to the united states in ukraine. fridays at 21:15 on espresso time for military summaries of the day with me near the map of hostilities my colleague serhiy zurets director of the defense express agency - leading columns military

summaries of the day serhiy i congratulate you vasyl for the audience, today we will talk about the week that was on our front, which is quite revealing and positive, and we will also talk about what will be on our front for a week in the future , about this in a moment, sergey, i want to say that this week is much more positive and today the results are much nicer german, we will to knock up yesterday, following the information that came to the telegram channels , mainly i felt the same as i felt in the fall of last year, last year when the so-called kupyan operation took place, when the armed forces of ukraine the enemy was quick with coordinated strikes from the ukrainian kharkiv region, of course this counteroffensive did not reach such a scale. it is probably too early to compare, but in principle the good is already there and the best one of the things that pleased me the most is, well, for me , to be honest, a very unexpected panic and how they say

there is confusion in the ranks of the enemy , in the ranks of enemy propagandists, military journalists , and in general, the enemy's enemy's community. they used the ukrainian word pocha. they already used it. they wrote about the fact that ukrainian tanks are going to belgorod, that the breakthroughs are happening from soledar to bakhmut , and in principle, the situation for them is very critical, as they say, the most interesting thing here is that this counterattack and what they dispersed in this history, the russians tried to mobilize their population as much as possible so that people went to the military commissars and the side to protect their families, but they caught up with so many women that when this happened in their opinion, the effect turned out to be unexpected on your opinion, what was it and is it really something similar to what we see in the picture now happening in the russian headquarters? well, when we talk about the russian headquarters , we understand that they are probably in such a fog of war when they do not understand where exactly the offensives will take place the actions

of any movements of the ukrainian army. they perceive panic and as russian generals, and even more so as russian military and the russian population, who see that there are already tanks advancing on bilhorod ukrainian tanks indeed, panic is spreading and this is actually very good. this indicates that preparatory measures for our large-scale spring-summer campaign are taking place, but when we say directly what was happening on the front line, i think that now the enemy is resonating with those actions that are taking place around bakhmut where our counter-attacking actions are taking place, aimed at significantly changing the situation at the front-line level around bahmut and this is precisely the main focus of this week, because a lot of good news is really just coming coming from bakhmut and around bakhmut well, then, let's not wait long and let's not make our viewers wait a long time, let's talk about the situation in the bakhmut area, which was changing there . and on some days, it changed very quickly and even very positively for us this week

. why are the russians in such a panic? the most important blows were inflicted on enemy positions . well, actually, now we have a map in front of us where we are trying to find out what exactly happened on the front line, we understand that summer if the most positive changes took place on on the flanks of the city, it is precisely on the northern and southern sides, when we are talking about the northern direction, it is actually the military operations , with the support of the artillery of our units, which were aimed at repelling the enemy from the chrome, there were offensives in the bohdanivka area from the bohdans, which in and above, where the russian troops actually grazed, trying to control the route that runs along the yar river, and in fact this work was done with sufficient quality , the enemy troops moved somewhere,

we are talking about 600 m, but in fact in the format uh, these areas and 600 m is a considerable distance, but when we talk about the chrome bohdanivka and so on, uh, we emphasize that what prigozhyn was so afraid of is actually happening , that actually the flanks that surround bakhmut, these two cliches, the north and the south, which they tried to close in to surround bakhmut, they actually are now being destroyed by ukrainian strikes when we are talking about the north where there were hostilities in the chrome zone, now there were continuations literally a few hours later we saw this historic prigozhin's next historical address, where he tried to explain what is happening in this area, now we can see things just like this is historical. and as you said, that's right, in prigorno's address. if it wasn't the first, i hope it won't be the last. well

, the detachment of the ministry of defense fled from the flanks , and that's why the exit to kverhovsk water reservoir if someone looks at the map and i will not show mine because there is a lot of extra information but if you look at what is happening in the settlement of pirogovka it it means that the enemy will approach bakhmut and it will be played with a 500 m bagnut gratin, he took all the tactical heights, that is, goodbye, in fact, for 10 months, the enemy tried to sharpen bakhmut, and for several days, our units knocked him out of those heights, and for which we paid quite high marks when we talk about the top then it is really located a little higher above bohdanivka , closer to the road that goes from bakhmut to zaslovyansk, and actually it is close to the outskirts of bakhmut from the north. that is, we are talking about the fact that ukrainian troops are coming

the dominant heights and now the situation for russia is becoming a mirror image. now we will continue to press the enemy, destroying him with the force that is located in bakhmut, and indeed bakhmut is turning into a trap. are fast enough for several days, a similar situation also occurs in the south, because we know the successful actions of the separate storm brigade, which carried out offensive actions that allowed the enemy to move in the direction of klitschivka , as well as repulse from ivanovo, as well as in zone of the pincer, that is, in fact, we are saying that the left flank is also beginning to crumble, are there more prerequisites being created in general about the possibility of the retreat of the troop group located in the zone of the pincer, it seems to be small distances, but all the actions of the ukrainian army, which we are now supported by artillery and er the brontenko division allows these measures to be taken and indeed to cut off this left tick

or there is a northern to southern tick that is now located in the zone of ticks and we see that due to coordinated actions and offensive units and artillery managed to do it, well enough in a short period of time, although in fact we paid for it. well, no, no, not a simple price. today , by the way, there was a western conference of the supreme commander-in-chief, where zelenskyi said that the e-e units overpowered the enemy in some directions and this dynamic will continue. by the way, we really count on the fact that the dynamics will continue and the collapse of these flanks will, in principle, even affect the situation in bakhmut itself, where hostilities continue in the very place by the way, it is very important that this russian terrorist and international criminal is beautiful to the city, not artemovsk, as it is called

by russian propagandists, and generally official , as in russia it is recognized to be called artemovsk, he says bakhmut, moreover, with an emphasis on the letter u-e, purely in the ukrainian e in ukrainian stylistics and it is very important that we ukrainianized even them and forced them to call this heroic city for us a city covered with dill blood a thousand people exactly bakhmut because this is bakhmut i wanted to ask very briefly and here is this unexpected for many, but the rapid counterattack that took place near bahmut was made possible by the fact that fresh forces arrived, who were preparing and planning this operation , who gave more equipment or who gave more ammunition, and we worked very thoroughly with artillery fire on the eve of the offensive and that and that and another thing, because atamanka means yesterday at 6 o'clock in the morning, we know how to produce goods, he said, at 6 o'clock in the morning, we fired all the guns at the same time, and that's

actually. so that the enemy could probably think that we used tactical nuclear weapons, because it says such a power of water at one point in time , this was just another sign after which the offensive actions of ground units began , which speaks of clear coordination between artillery and ground units, which is actually clear but the amount of artillery on our side has increased and the amount of ammunition that we can use has increased , nadi ammunition and ammunition of soviet calibers are also used. the artillery works extremely powerfully from the ukrainian side, which ensures precisely the advance on the fans and from crushing these flanks, well, a few words can be said about the city itself now. in its place, as far as i understand , the envelopes did not change significantly if or when, again as a result of offensive and

counter-offensive actions from the assault actions of the armed forces of ukraine, the question or danger of a possible the surroundings of bakhmut will become obvious to the enemy. is there any hope that he will start to run away from there? well, i think the enemy will be there. first of all, we will destroy them, because we are talking about the fact that the enemy's flanks will collapse first, which pose a threat to bakhmut and, first of all, create a threat to the security of this city, we understand that now these two routes that we provide will breathe more freely and this will simplify the logistics of the group that operates in bakhmut itself, but we understand that bakhmut itself is currently controlled by ukrainian troops by 10%. this is precisely the western part in the urban area there buildings and hostilities continue quite actively there, the british troops are active there and they are gathering there, and the impression is that the russian army is deliberately taking measures to destroy the wagnerites in bakhmut, and the impression is that this is in the interests of ukraine and russia, that is, they will die in africa

exactly in the bakhmut area, but the hostilities continue in the area, as i already said, a high-rise building is right at the intersection of three streets, here exactly they are shown street and tchaikovsky street and jubilee street and here just on the left side it is precisely the zone of these high-rises where the most active hostilities are taking place, and now it is quite difficult to clearly say where the demarcation line passes, because in the zones of these urban buildings, some houses are changing hands, as was the case last week, but we understand that now the general background and the general background surrounding the hostilities is already fundamentally different, our guys have more optimism, they understand that now they are actually turning bakhmut into such a systemic trap for the enemy , the enemy himself is beginning to understand this and the signs of what is

the owner is hysterical prigozhina so we are actually now carrying out measures aimed at restraining and destroying significant forces of the enemy, and we are doing this with the forces of full-time brigades without using the reserves of those forces that we have prepared and conducting a large-scale offensive operation . as far as i understand , these eight revenge brigades are the so-called key ones. well, we are talking about the fact that now, paradoxically , b- brigades that receive bakhmut, they may have some units over the course of a year that is, they know every stone, every house, every crack, just as this wagnerite knows, now it says that they are such combat operations where each side knows the terrain perfectly and uses every mistake of the enemy to win at least some minimal victory, but conceptually we see that the situation around bakhmut well systemically changes and this is exactly what generates this resonating panic that is happening in the russian armies as a whole, but when you talk about eight brigades, we are actually talking about the fact that we have 12 brigades

which are being prepared in the growth of the armed forces for offensive actions plus 8 brigades of the national guard. and this is actually the shock fist that, relying on foreign aid, will take the main burden of the spring-summer offensive operation and now we are looking at other areas of the front in the south there is also information about our successes near the coalfield, this is again donetsk region, in particular in the area of ​​the village of zolota niva, where the armed forces of ukraine forced the shaitanka river there, too, there is no counterattack, as they say, well, now, to be honest , it is happening in all areas of the front certain training and this is a significant part of the special foreign experts refer to such a category of formation in any way, that is, in fact, there is a verification of what the enemy can do in different areas of the front where there may be a weakness, it raises the general tension and in those areas where it is possible, in principle, to carry out

on offensive actions at the tactical level, when we are talking about vugledar, this week there was indeed information that ukrainian units made a transition in the area of ​​the golden field, that is, on offensive actions, it is actually 20 km west of coaler, if it can be shown on the map, and uh, in fact, there was an advance of our troops beyond the river shaitanka, along which the enemy's defense line used to pass, that is, in fact, we are talking about the fact that in this area the western front begins, more precisely, although in principle it is not yet west no no zaporizhzhia front is actually still donetsk donetsk region yes that is but already close to zaporizhzhia in fact so in any case it is a section of the front that is starting to come to life and this section is very

disturbing to the enemy because actually even the binoculars up there the coast of the sea of ​​azov there is 80 km and the area around blagadar is considered by us and the enemy as one of the promising areas for offensive actions of the ukrainian army. south of our country, they said that in the kherson region on the dnieper, on the right bank of the dnieper , the armed forces of ukraine had accumulated a huge number of boats and thus they allegedly they hinted that there would be a forcing of the dnipro and a counteroffensive would begin precisely in the south, eh, then this information was not confirmed , she said that they were thinking well, how ? here is this story, that it is in the past, in any case, we saw the video with you, that we watched it as the armed forces of ukraine

train to cross the river on such special vehicles that go, well, amphibious, which , well, now we see these amphibians, two more, this is the event which allows the means which allows e-e with infantry to carry out, well, the crossing of rivers demonstrated by the ukrainian military, and i think that if it appears in this way, it is a soviet development, but just on the chassis based on the t-64 tank of the ukrainian tank, so that in any case pieces good, reliable, and as we can see, it is well used by our military, and we understand that if such a video appears , they also cause the operative to panic , because this is a sign that the ukrainians are preparing, perhaps it is really an airborne operation, although it is difficult an element or hostilities is already a lot of cover, there should be five logistics because it is possible to go ashore, but then these units need to be supported, it is enough to ensure that this corridor will not land further , the issue of providing and covering from the air , etc. this is a difficult thing, but if the ukrainian
