[000:00:00;00] concentrated in the territory occupied by zaporizhzhia and kherson oblasts, a total of about 160,000 157,000 forces are concentrated there. well, why are we talking about this because, in principle, these directions are considered promising for a counteroffensive? i don't know about luhansk oblast, so i won't say anything , but there there are certain hostilities, they are ongoing, i mean there, the svatov crime and so on. well, it was also voiced there exactly who is waiting for the ukrainian armed forces in case they go to zaporozhye and kherson region occupied and is it possible to have information about how many forces the enemies have accumulated in luhansk oblast, because the group that stands in svatomo is conducting combat operations there, it is almost the most significant , in general, in all areas of the front of neighboring fronts, the accumulated forces there are not yet the most significant and how formidable a force it is or, again, in

the case of well-thought-out actions . there, too, it is possible to achieve an unexpected unpleasant unexpected result for the enemy. direction, we can actually expect good and positive results of the offensive there because well, we have already seen more than one military operation that was planned and successfully implemented by our military team, i cannot say that there is a periodic rotation in luhansk region because somewhere the fighters are partially running out on the part of the russian occupying forces , they sometimes bring in more convicts in order to reinforce this or that direction, and sometimes the rotation takes place in the direction of bakhmut there or in another direction, it all depends on how in general, events are happening on the front line now, but as of today, i can say that all three directions of luhansk - this is svatovo-kupyansk and the criminal area liman and

belogorivka, they are absolutely stable, and there , well, there is still fighting, heavy fighting, but the enemy is losing well, only for the last time in one kremenets direction well, up to two years, uh, for sure, they lost, they are waiting for reinforcements in the form of prisoners, but, well, just the same , many people said that they are ending, they are ending well, as we can see, it is not ending the problem of luhansk oblast is that there was a time when the russian occupying forces were there and everything was very carefully mined, including roads and bridges and forest strips and the coastline as well and that's it. will really complicate the offensive if it is in this direction, let it be where our military plans it, but still, uh, i am talking

about the fact that it will be a little more difficult because there is a very powerful replacement. the economic situation of people , again, you correctly said that there are two well even three luhansk oblasts are under the control of the one that was a long time ago in the composition. well, not in the composition. and it was occupied for a long time. there is. what does that mean there since the 22nd year? well, there is also, as i understand it, the one that is controlled by the ukrainian authorities, but this is more of a part luhansk region is already occupied, well, temporarily occupied by the enemy, what is the economic situation there in general? maybe it's better somewhere, somewhere worse, and do people have any access to work , any money at all, please? well , the situation is difficult, and many people, in the literal sense of the word, work just for food sometimes you know, they haven't achieved anything, really, the russian occupying forces and the government, there are collaborators and gobblers, whoever is in charge

on the ground, they are wonderful, they celebrate certain events or build some small monuments, well, that is, put a couple of guns there, write there on slava erifa or something like that, is there a monument to lenin , they are already putting it there? well, i don't know, in every city, in every village, they are restoring it , they were able to do it quickly. be this radio and television, anything, but as for the economic situation, well, the situation here is bad because , you know, people are encouraged to go to rallies by the fact that they can get a humanitarian aid or a set of groceries or eat pilaf there, and then they go there with a hundred-meter-high flag they really force people to pick up russian passports on the streets, because if there is no passport

, at best -30% of the salary, in the worst case, people are generally fired. well, of course , as soon as men receive these russian passports are immediately snatched away and sent to the front, so the situation is, to put it mildly, not the best. i thank you very much mr. serhiy serhiy gaidai, ex-head of the luhansk regional military administration, about the situation in luhansk oblast, and now we will talk about kherson oblast, oleksandr talakonnikov, head of the press office oleksandr of the kherson regional military administration. greetings. good evening . first of all, i would like to ask about the security situation as of this evening. the consequences of enemy strikes on the territory of the kherson oblast. this is the hour, please. it is already known about the fifth victims as a result of the russian aggression. in the morning, there was a shelling by guided vehicles, but stanislav was bombed. two people, a woman and a man, suffered there. already in the afternoon, they received information that

a mine blew up near the village . the tractor driver once again reminds us about the danger of mines. it is not possible. go to the fields that have not yet been inspected by our explosives and pyrotechnics, because it is very dangerous not only for you , but for life. shelling of the new kherson, fortunately without casualties, but the ship district was under fire for almost the whole day. but such was the contraband fight. i think that ours destroyed them on that bank, the point of fire that intensified on the ship district and already after lunch around 5 o'clock in the village of lviv an enemy projectile flew into a village house. there was a man there, this is his father, a man in

his 50s, er, 80 years old, the father, the son and the father both received leg injuries and were taken to the district hospital and provided with everything necessary help so far and about the successes of the armed forces of ukraine , i would like to ask, well, in particular, they write that five enemy boats were sunk, this is about which ones they are not talking about, they are talking about those that were previously taken from the local population by the russians to fulfill their tasks there, or we are talking about some really special military vessels that they use in order to carry out activities there and on the islands and in the dnipro gorge, please provide information because the military will provide it, but in 95% of the cases they use boats that

have been stolen from people that send their own the logistics boats are not out of hand and here you can steal so much. and they do not shy away from this on the left bank. there were many moorings there, and along the line of the sea and the dnieper below, there are many boats of our kherson people who left them. or even when they did not give them outstanding ones, they are taken away under the guise of that there will be compensation, will it be returned, or are you a boat with compensation or just compensation , but there has not been a single case of the russians compensating for something, so most likely these are civilian boats of civilians on which they are trying to occupy the islands between kherson and on the left bank, but our

armed forces , intelligence and law enforcement agencies are constantly clearing these islands, and there these occupiers remain on the ground . i want you to explain how it is to viewers who do not understand very well what islands there are, what is happening there, what it means to push away from a position and how dangerous and profitable it is for the enemy, let's say , to occupy these positions on certain islands what perspective does it give them and why is it important that we are pushing them away from there, well, the armed forces of ukraine are also pushing them away from there, please, well , if so. for example, it must be the island of khortytsia. if so , for example, above the dnieper , there is a rather large island that occupies a width of almost 2 km here these islands are very overgrown with forest and there it is very nice

to hide and when these islands were well the occupiers could just walk there then they came as close as possible to kherson and they could shell a larger area kherson oblast, well, they are kherson they fired even to the end, well, to the border of the city, to the checkpoints, roughly speaking, now , when our armed forces worked there and pushed them back, they moved to the side that was closer to the left bank, well, i understand our armed forces as well. well, they can't push them back and from there, because there are positions of the occupiers on one side of the shore and they can also attack ours, that is why such a front line runs against the middle of this island, on other islands there are no pandas in

principle, they are constantly being cleaned, like me i'm already saying ugh well, i also wanted to ask in spite of the fact that actually kherson and in general the coastline today is actually the front line ah because at least it's a given at least it's just a line of fraud in fact even though there eh on the very right bank it wouldn't happen there there is constant shelling, but all the same, now it will be summer and somewhere people will become more active who will want to come to the shore of the dnipro . well, we still have to reach the sea with the armed forces of ukraine , but are there estuaries, but there are already estuaries here, or will there be any measures have been taken to to do everything so that people do not do this because they will thus become live targets for the enemy even if they think that they have such a place over there that no one knows about, we will be able to rest in peace, please here for example, probably somewhere two and a half hours ago,

there was just an along cape kizomis, right along the coastline, where the fishermen who were resting there came out well, first of all, these are the residents of khiz, of whom there are not many left, but i still think they left, and there were, as far as i remember , about seven people who died there here and here the problem is that our law enforcement officers, our armed forces, do not allow people who do not live in these settlements to these settlements, that is, even more so to the river bank and , er, someone just what, well, people who want to go to rest in the red zone, which is located along the shores will definitely not get there, only the residents of these settlements can get there, but with them, too , law enforcement officers are constantly on duty, and

even in such settlements as novovorontsovka, which is not there, well, it is on the bank of the river, but it is not under i am shelling there i saw with my own eyes how the law enforcement officers there, the guys who went ashore, the law enforcement officers immediately appeared and turned them back, that is, it is in such national points as there is cossack fun and here along there there is a golden beam . stanislav will always be here and warn that people are not like that i guess as the brave will say well, they understand that it can fly in at any moment and this fish will be very expensive. i thank you very much for joining the conversation. thank you for your comments. i also wanted to read here a message from the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine as of the evening of this day. that the ukrainian armed forces during the day hit

an ammunition depot, a command post, and two areas where the enemy's manpower was concentrated, three artillery units, no. i read today about the destruction of two artillery installations . only here i am i don't remember exactly what we were talking about, no, i won't say which ones, because i don't have them here. well, they are artillery units in a firing position and two electronic warfare stations of the russian troops the fact that there were cheering artillery units in the firing position - this indicates that it was possible to conduct a very high-quality counter -battery fight and hit the enemy who at the same time wanted to hit us well, this is such information. i want us, well, you know, there should be some kind of good, some kind of minimal helmet, even in war and even where people are constantly flying by and where people die and because there is a risk of dying because this good gives

hope. so in kherson, after the shelling , the police saw a little owl on the road it the little owl was sitting there, you can see him now, so they didn’t know what to do, they picked him up and gave him the call sign private mamak , well, even these chinese drones were feeding the little owl. the zoo, well, somewhere there, they gave him a place, and this is the story, the ordinary mom was saved and will be there to please the children, continue his life and hunt mice at night in odessa. well, and then when there is no longer a threat to kherson, i think who had from will return to kherson and will be a kind of symbol of victory, one of the symbols of victory. well, now is the time to talk about the war in more detail, and i will add to the conversation serhiy zgurets, director of the defense

express agency, the host of the war summaries column , brought up by serhiy, congratulations . congratulations to our viewers. scandal and some people thought, what does it mean, again here they want to say something bad about zelenskyi? no , on the contrary. by the way, with respect, i did not read how zelenskyi answered the journalist, er, to something that provoked our president with on the occasion of what you see, the main directorate of development allegedly held negotiations with the appropriate a. on certain issues , here you are now, serhiy. please tell me what this question is and how you interpret the information and the fact itself , if there was such a fact, please. well, this publication is actually about that he supposedly suggested to the armed forces that they leave bakhmut, and after that he would give the coordinates or locations of the russian troops, which could then be impressed by our armed forces, such a rather strange proposal from prigozhinna but i think that the development in principle

can contact everyone for the sake of our victory, in particular, sometimes even with devils like prigozhin, and today, by the way, the representative of the main intelligence department, andriy yusov , said that special services and intelligence can use various means and tools in order to effectively de-occupy the territory, but he continued this did not comment on the story and did not detail it, but in any case, we understand that such a story must have taken place. but intelligence chooses the optimal ways to ensure our faster decoupation of our territory, and then in in our military column, we will talk about what is happening in certain areas of the front or the monastic military about the readiness of great britain to train our pilots on f16 fighters. and there is also a new weapon from this country with a range of 200 km in addition

to the storm shadow missiles, about it for a moment, well, let me start by saying that great britain is again at the forefront of helping ukraine. first, it was london that moved the supply of tanks to ukraine from a standstill. so, today the president of ukraine and the prime minister of great britain discussed the prospect of providing ukraine with western-style fighter jets and the creation of a coalition of fighter jets. also, great britain will start training ukrainian pilots on f16 for ukraine in the summer. this is stated in the statement of the british government, although there are certain details because the royal air force itself does not have f16 armed, but there is an opportunity to train them. so by the summer they should open a training center and the planes will probably supply other

countries with this coalition of fighters but without agreement will probably still not be possible because the manufacturer of these planes so this is good news about the f16 with the help of britain, and the bad is that with this step ukraine's partners have delayed somewhat, but the war is unlikely to end in the current year and fighter jets will still be needed by ukraine in the future. it is good that britain is promoting this process and on the front line from the main this is of course the situation around bahmut and the city itself, here our military forces are squeezing enemy units from the north and south of bahmut on the flanks already secured supplies through chromov and ivanivsk and aimed at entrenching on the commanding heights in the top and above klichchivka, but in bakhmut itself, the enemy. and these wagnerites , despite the loss, are stubbornly trying to push our units out of the city, there are extremely

intense battles in the built-up northern part of bakhmut, but it seems that the situation on the flanks has a demotivating effect on the enemy, and ukrainian successes on the northern and southern flanks of the city actually call into question the further ability of the russian army to capture new and receive already the captured areas of bakhmut, however, the enemy is trying to act in other directions, in particular, on the avdiyiv region, here the enemy for some time , following the example of bahmut, also tried to surround the avdiiv region from the north and south and force our troops to leave the area of ​​defense, but the price of the enemy's actions also turned out to be useless, but in this aggressive hysteria, the russian cupants on may 15 launched another missile attack on avdiyivka as a result of enemy fire and there are deaths among civilians and about what

is happening in more detail in the combat situation around avdiivka we will talk with our guest from the front line - this is valeriy, by the way, the captain of the armed forces of one of our brigades that is holding the defense on this part of the front, mr. valeriy. i congratulate you as a hero, glory, glory to ukraine, what has changed in your area in recent days, or really, when is the enemy still trying? regarding the encirclement of our district defense in the avdiivtsi area or what actions he is currently trying to carry out, in fact , the intensity of the enemy's assault actions has dropped. not these days, but a little earlier, we noticed this a few weeks ago, when in some areas the enemy began to go on the defensive, changing the approaches to his positions instead of advancing assault groups , as he did before, and the number of personnel noticeably decreased

, intelligence reports that he is strengthening the reserve lines quite significantly, and i think that some kind of reorganization is going on, most likely they are the most combat-ready their units are still being taken to bakhmut in order to somehow level the situation there, and as far as the map shows us here, it is no secret that the encirclement of avdiyivka failed and i think that it will not succeed that they tried to do this all autumn, all winter and the beginning of spring. as you can see, they had no success, but no one cools down, everyone perfectly understands that we are dealing with a serious army. despite the fact that it is not sufficiently motivated, but rather bloodthirsty, first of all, to themselves. they don't spare their personnel yes, you said that the avdiivka shelling is such a noticeable

shelling with a large number of victims, but almost every day it flies into settlements that are near avdiivka, many settlements are just names on the map they don’t exist, that’s why the situation is like this at the moment. and what about the athlete who, as you say, has basically stopped such assets again , offensive actions regarding his replenishment, you say that in fact now he is not replenished , all power is transferred to bakhmut, but still, if there is a replenishment, then the quality of this replenishment can be determined in some way. well, we cannot overestimate the enemy, of course, but again, this is from personal experience, what i saw with my own eyes. and they have people who cannot even orientate themselves on the terrain. i understand that immediately or after signing the contract, if it’s uh , the chv, or after mobilization, just at such a fast pace, if they are sent to the front

, they are put in absolutely terrible conditions and , accordingly, they have no motivation, it’s already obvious, besides, those units for example, the artillery, which is staffed with more or less professional professional personnel , they are well aware that we are currently superior to them in the management of means of communication and in development, and they are forced to move their fire equipment away from the line of contact because, well, not to lose. although they are outdated, but the only possible new complexes that they have in their arsenal are that their fire damage is mainly not on the positions of the armed forces, but on the squares in which the local local civilian population also falls, that is, this is how they fight although at the same time i want to say that we are not cooling

down, we still think that they will be able to accumulate some shock groups somewhere. and so, if later unexpectedly somewhere they try to make a breakthrough , that is, in fact, no one here says, writes everything russia fell and surrendered. so you said about a whole in comparison with this square method of the enemy, i have been saying this for a long time and dreamed about it. last year, i saw that the trend is that our artillery will become better than russia's, more bc, they have more firepower, more but they are outdated, they are soviet models, even modified there, 100 acacias, the same carnations, hyacinths, but they

, first of all, have nothing to counter in the field artillery with such an organism as they call 155 mm caliber, these are seven caesars etc., standard nato models, and secondly , we are constantly strengthening the communication and intelligence management system, the russians don’t have this, they don’t have sterling in particular , that’s why they often suffer due to the fact that they mostly communicate anyway uh, through radio communication, and he is under the influence of the fish. the fish is not good. they are constantly coming with our intelligence. we often lose drones , but it is better to lose drones than people . that's why it's like that. she has already gone technological and at the moment we can say that she is not even a retype if she continues like this . then we them with our lights

there was a short period of time when i mentioned that under the influence of the russian fish , sterling does not work as well as it was there, well, in another period, and what is with the page now? can we talk about its stable work? i do not notice any critical changes in the work on termites and the question of what the enemy is now regularly covering in action with large bombs and planning bombs, this trend has some direction in terms of growth. well, i would not say, although you understand that there is practically no living moon left despite the fact that this city is far from being in such a state as bakhmut or maryinka , that is why it is impossible to say that there is now a fire , a fire damage is so critical, and an accumulation of fire means or bomb strikes is also impossible, because well, it is big, it really is it is a very big city, therefore there is a military operation

there, if even they will try to conduct it in order to advance in avdiivka , then i think they will need to prepare like this for six months, and then from below with unclear chances and unclear goals. i don’t see it here of some strategic er strategic benefits for the russian army. i think that they will simply methodically destroy it in order to keep the grouping of the armed forces here . this is quite decent, because this is an important direction for us, after all, well, that is, they will introduce a war like barbarians, they do not fight as you can see from the army, they are at war with the infrastructure with the local population in civilians. well, i think that such a war will sooner or later lead them to collapse. i hope that it will be soon . we need the satisfaction of support there from our volunteers or other structures when we are talking about drones or other components

that provide effective defense of a critical shortage. there is nothing in bc or e-e means of communication or intelligence, not to mention thanks to our volunteers from other things , such as household or food supplies, we literally brought some pallets to us today. i don’t even know who it is. thank you through your broadcast. there are many hundreds of energy from these cans. did i forget someone called me, i gave the address, can you imagine it came, do you remember we are on fire, on the fire position , the energy workers will just take care of themselves, well, that is, it is normal for us in this eh p valery thank you for your inclusion thank you for your service what are you doing where is the country and for all of us, and i will remind our viewers that on the espresso channel, valeriy was a reserve captain of the armed forces who serves in one of the brigades that is currently protecting avdiyivka, and then we will talk about the weapons that we need

now that the president of ukraine is doing such a great job tour of the countries of europe, it was germany, italy, france, now from britain, britain became known this week that it handed over these long-range missiles to us, but during the visit of the president of ukraine to london , it became known about a number of new initiatives from great britain, and it is not only about airplanes now we are in touch with ivan kyrychevskyi , military expert, information consulting company, defect express, mr. ivan, i congratulate you on the live broadcast of the espresso channel . publications and other publications on our resource mention that britain
