[000:00:00;00] and he is doing everything in the media so that people understand that he will leave there or that the situation there is so bad that he does not want to lose the remaining fighting capacity and again wants to take his mercenaries from there in order to be left with at least something. i don't think he will be allowed to do it because, again, glory to myself, i can imagine how the regular troops will go there, which, after all , are not made up of former prisoners of the lower classes , with some kind of thugs and thugs who don't mind. and there you can just run into soldiers' riots therefore i think that the situation in bakhmuti is actually still far from being finished, accordingly, we would like to ask you about the situation with the commanding heights, we understand that the commanding heights, taking into account the capabilities of our artillery, can play

a simply fatal role for the enemy, but the situation is not easy because the battles are ongoing, as far as we understand, just for these commanding heights you know, i'm like that again, judging by the map. well , at the moment, in modern means of fire damage, it's the height as such. on the contrary, it doesn't matter because you can hit the enemy in any of the terrain in order to there was intelligence and communication, this is good for the infantry, because in fact, when the infantry and infantry units are fixed and have a certain height , it is more difficult to reach them, they are strengthened there and, accordingly, the means of the infantry become more effective with them, and mortars and anti-aircraft guns and machine guns they work better than when

the terrain is not the height, so i think that it is really when the operation is well planned by our commanders, and i will repeat again that for the russians, who hurried to report to putin and he shouted something there, what will be rewarded for the capture of bahmut is far everything is still not over, because the enemy cannot take positions that are advantageous to him , so there are, as i understand it, a lot of losses. can you or can you operate with numbers given how many good russians have now appeared in the vicinity and in bakhmut. and how many more are left, because we understand that there is a lot of good stuff out there and new ones are constantly being sent. well, you know, i don’t have such information, probably even if i had it, i wouldn’t announce it at all, so let’s not hope for sure that the ukrainian

intelligence knows all this very well, analyzes it and accordingly, further actions of the armed forces are planned, but i just want to draw attention to the fact that bakhmut is being held by the armed forces from the flanks. and ahead, in russian times , there is a ravine on the road to kramatorsk kostiantynivka. the operational goal of their capture of bakhmut was precisely to enter the operational space in order to develop their attack on the next ukrainian cities. and now, well, again, i don't want to throw my hat away and do everything there, but it's very difficult for me to imagine how they will be able to form a strike group in such conditions so that even this relative success they have in bakhmut can be further developed well, accordingly, captain, we understand that the enemy

will try to bring in additional volumes of manpower, so we understand that there is a difference between regular units and fire fighters, well and if we talk about the so-called offensive russian impulse , there is a feeling that they have exhaled a little, well , i have never been a supporter of underestimating the enemy. thought that the enemy was maximally prepared and maximally combat-capable, that is why i proceed from this, but judging from this direction, where i have been for more than 8 months, their offensive potential is really all, as they say, because they understand very well that they are fighting against both walls, which there is no now, they are the most important of such firepower, after all. i hope for this

is putin's attempt to prolong the war. it 's a double-edged sword. it's one thing when you quickly take kyiv in a new condition in three days, and another thing when you've been storming the landings for more than a year. around the avdiivkas are unsuccessful, and losing a lot of their equipment and personnel, so i can uh well, assume that their morale is not very good, because they are perfectly aware of their condition , that they are like those uh people, they just go to the slaughter in an inexplicable way why, again, i understand that maybe some of them think that i live in uzhgorod behind that landing, but it is not so, that is why i think that the situation for them is not only in bakhmut, but also in other directions , as we can see in the belgorod region, including mr. valery uh, the president today he announced the creation of a marine corps so that there would be more marines in

ukraine, uh, what do you think about this matter? and in general, is the idea timely and during the war, well, it’s a strategic level, so in this case, for sure, the command is freer, but for the conditions that we are observing now in the southern direction and in general for the future we need to look at the fact that after all, the black sea coast will be priority directions for our country, so of course the marine units have be basic in order to defend these territories and currently develop our offensive actions in that direction because it is necessary. again, i don't want to throw my hat in and do it there, but i'm almost convinced that

as soon as the corridor is breached, including thanks to the marine corps units, then for the russians there , by 50 plus percent, everything will be over in this war. accordingly, we would like to ask you about the mood, the moral and psychological mood of the enemy and his middle-ranking commanders, were there any such impulses that they would like to surrender, well, we understand . yes, when it is at the individual level, it is one story, now the squads can work or are there any snipers who control the movement of their personnel well, if the sub-commander of this or that unit had already matured, there were such cases and how in general with those uh-uh with their willingness to surrender, well, with regard to capture, there are different situations. basically, they fall by the wayside after all, due to the fact that they do not know, do not orientate themselves on the terrain or lose combat capacity, i did not observe such mass cases, and again i want to say that

it is not possible to evaluate them. they are people with a different mentality, absolutely, if it sounds wild to us to someone else's land and try to free something here for capturing punishment or whatever they say there , they are all right on the other side. well , it is obvious that the way they conduct their operations, i do not have details, i do not have details. well , normal officers would not do that, that is, i i draw the conclusion from the fact that their middle and lower ranks of commanders are once again staffed with people who are either not competent or not , and you are ready to mindlessly follow orders, and here they are wave after wave, e.e. assault after assault , they carry out their actions, losing tens of thousands personnel without any such lake results so for now thank you

, mr. captain valeriy on the reserve captain of the armed forces of ukraine marine on the situation in the bakhmut direction we are moving on we are now recruiting serhiy to our marathon gaidai, the former head of the luhansk regional military administration, glory to ukraine and serhiy we welcome you, so we would like to ask you about the operational situation in the areas of the well-known and iconic luhansk front, what is happening there now, it does not remain stable and is controlled by the defense forces on the part of the russian occupation forces, to date there is an accumulation of personnel and technicians, especially here, in the kremenets direction, there are certain uh, well , there is information that certain

units are undergoing training, different uh, that personnel which they are getting a ride as soon as possible. they are getting ready. well, i don’t know for them, in order to. well, they need to prepare their soldiers there at least a little. well, from a week, but in what condition they will be thrown into the offensive. well, right now, it depends exclusively on the command of the russian occupation forces, and where this accumulation takes place p serhiy and somewhere in the starobilsk region, for example, they are coming to eh, well, there is enough equipment and artillery eh and ammunition for luhansk, and then it is already moving around the region eh , depending on where they have a more critical situation eh i wouldn't tell people to have them ah, that’s the problem now, because we understand that people are a free resource for the kremlin regime, that’s why they constantly pick them up there and pick them up there, uh, that doesn’t

count, uh, shelling, shelling takes place both in the direction of the site and on kreminskyi and on in the belgorod direction, well, this is constant. what is the situation with the civilian population ? do people evacuate if they have the opportunity to where and in general, how safe are they there, although we understand that the issue of security is now very , very relative. further, the luhansk region is occupied by the russians, but away from the line, if they are not near military facilities, near barracks, warehouses with ammunition or accumulations of equipment, then, in principle, civilians are not at risk of anything, there is no such danger, because the cotton is growing

anti-aircraft facilities and what the russians told about the fact that there is a huge number of civilians there. well, listen, we monitor and wait for them, and the civilians themselves say that in principle, if you don't approach the facilities with military personnel, then there is danger as there is no such thing as for the front line, well, it is more difficult here, because the situation here is difficult on one side , well, there is an active phase of hostilities going on, and where can he fly with it, and here you can already guarantee safety, plus people are resettled from the surrounding villages are near the front line, and they immediately reinforce fighters from various groups there, this is akhmat eh and bars and eh wagner , who is not there but serhiy bavovna in luhansk, what is the situation now with point strikes on enemy military facilities on

the people of luhansk region are just scared that they are already out every day they are making it tougher to control the civilian population, there is even such a problem now, you know, and the connection, but when people even try to call an ambulance and call somewhere, 50/50 they can just take it somewhere immediately, enter it i don't know if it's in the district department or the basement, they drop people and find out where exactly they called, sometimes people just go to the houses in order to and if they are there, at this time they will call for some kind of help for themselves or maybe for their relatives call but in this one time will see them and the sgb well, that's all, people can

go on the run of fate. well, sometimes they come back and get fed up, that is , the regular cotton that is happening now in luhansk, it just makes the occupiers very nervous. to be honest, they are all in our suitcases there, and if if they were released from outside the border of luhansk oblast, then everyone would have left a long time ago, they don't release no no, but there have been repeated efforts. you have your zone, and p . sergiu, news from belgorod oblast, yesterday 's today, how the locals , how luhansk residents react to such a news feed how is she to skabeev and it seems very alarming, very alarming eh well, the situation here is actually now

in luhansk oblast well eh, it’s really tough , you know, eh, a lover of the russian world well, they say that everything is fine, everything is under control, but people understand, eh, especially since the radio between people, you know, which works from one person to another, it conveys information much faster than propaganda russia, even taking into account that russian propaganda is probably one of the best in the world, because what they say and what they give to people, and to him as truth yebliv lies, well, i have never seen such a thing at all. well, we are with you. sergiivno, the key story here is whether they are so skilled propagandists or so stupid citizens . well, as they say, psychoanalysts will help one day. serhiy gaidai was with us to deal with this whole matter. in touch with the head of the luhansk regional military administration , the conversation is extremely interesting, let's move on

14:11:45 minute oleksandr kovalenko , military and political observer of the information resistance group, in touch with us glory to ukraine p oleksandr glory to the heroes let's go let's talk about the belgorod region. how do you assess the kremlin's reaction to the events that, in your opinion, are happening there now, because we understand that there is information that the russian troops do not control the entire territory of the belgorod region, so to speak, but there are many conflicting reports and, for example, one member of the state duma they asked him what he thought about the situation in belegorodshchyna , that's what he said. we still need to figure out what 's going on there, you understand, and that's what they need to figure out. let's help us all figure out alexander's word. well what would i characterize, in general, the reaction of the official kremlin to

the situation in the belgorod region as a panicky, limited reaction, limited reaction, but it feels like a permanent panic, to the point that they don't understand what they should do, what they should do, but they er, they still understand that what is happening in the belgorod region and this is not some situational moment, it is a general russian problem because how could this happen as er, a rather large group of um let's say this, rebel forces er of citizens russia is the rdk and the legion was able to come in from the territory of ukraine to the territory of the russian federation, which allegedly borders on those regions , sumy, chernihiv, kharkiv, and again, these are the regions to which the most attention today

should be from the russian special services of the law enforcement agencies, and there is not enough human resources even such an extreme section of the border is enough, and what can we say when you can, for example, remember the border with china, how much is it and how protected is the border with kazakhstan? nato countries that she so demonizes, well, if it is so hot. now we are receiving new information because, er, they are reporting that the radical legion, and they have already entered the settlement of gorky shetnikova, god-town, and all this is in the belgorod region. so, no, what is the counter- terrorist operation and which was announced by the russian security forces, it also does not give any

results today, they only talk in their reports about the fact that 100,000,500 saboteurs were destroyed there, and the saboteurs and the saboteurs fled to the territory of ukraine, but the saboteurs they continue to take photos and videos from the territory of the russian federation of populated areas and in addition , they entered lightly armored vehicles. and in two days they already captured one btr-82 and one btr-80 as trophies , increasing their fire potential. in this way, in the future, i understand that they can turn into a full-fledged tank battalion with such success well, what does our allies say about this, we understand that the situation is not easy, that is, on the one hand, it is a colossal slap to the kremlin, on the other hand,

we understand that the americans, so to speak at one time we were at least worried about the level of controllability or uncontrollability of the escalation , so to speak. well, accordingly , so to speak . after all, the complex is extremely complex, but i would ask you to sit down and comment , too . the fact that ukraine itself can be and act on the territory of the russian federation, well, that is, it is completely legal to carry out certain operations on the territory of the russian federation, and now we also see a rather balanced position of our partners that, well, ukraine really has

the full right to this but the nuance is precisely that, and it is that citizens of the russian federation are not acting on the territory of the russian federation, and this nuance has a rather serious influence on the understanding of this situation. and in general, i am not surprised that after a while, well, just ours international partners will already understand to what extent russia is a bubble. and to some really real global threat , how exhausted russia is, how bloodless it is, and i am waiting . syria, libya , the central african republic, mazalbia , eritrea, and even venezuela, where they serve no one, a tyrant, pinpoint

, high-precision strikes on places of co-location of these terrorists all over the world, this is what it will be like for me, well, it will be some kind of gift, like for christmas, we are looking for christmas in this case, at least this conditional christmas, besides the fact that the kremlin expressed deep concern about the situation because there was a statement if not i am wrong about the fact that uh, on the question that these are russians, the citizens of russia act like this, and they commented in the kremlin that they should be considered primarily as ukrainian fighters . in within the framework of the ukrainian counterattack, because they said that it would not be possible to repeat what happened in kharkiv oblast last year. because now everyone is ready for such weapons, but no one expected that now at two o'clock they would take them and go

to belgorod. maybe there to bryansk, because they already have a similar the situation, well, this cannot be considered as an element of the counter-offensive, i am planning the next one, our counter-offensive has not yet started and i am not sure that it will have anything similar to what happened in kharkiv oblast, but uh , these actions are currently an element indeed, the preparation of the appropriate conditions that will accompany our counteroffensive actions, although this can be considered as a separate operation , it is quite effective, a separate operation , i even told you more, it is even an operation to create a kind of security buffer, because if you consider all these settlements, where do they come from ? now the promotion of the rna and the legion is actually the creation of a security buffer where it militarizes

the zones. areas that were constantly shelled from the territory of the russian federation with foil artillery, rocket artillery, not to mention the use of aviation, well, we can consider this as a separate operation and not directly some kind of counteroffensive, yes , alexander, we agree with you, the key events are now taking place in bakhmut, on the outskirts of bakhmut, we understand that the battles for the flanks of bakhmuchka are ongoing and so on, information was received from serhiy cherevatoy, the official spokesman of the eastern group of troops, this is how he outlined the situation well, i will quote from the words of the spokesman, we did not achieve the main goals , we did not allow the enemy to break through, break our battle formations , destroy our group. in addition, we inflicted colossal losses on the enemy, according to

cherevatov, one of the directions where the ukrainian defenders are successfully moving is in the direction of klitschivka, there is also an advance in the area of the berghiv reservoir, mr. oleksandr bakhmut, and around bakhmut, our main tasks are heights , and we are achieving this. they feel our control over these heights near the behriv reservoir and near klishivka, we have fire control over the southern part of the city and the north, while even the center and eastern areas of the city are also under our fire influence. so, the russians well they set this trap for themselves in the city and outside the city we continue to advance in the direction

of the edge and the top of the city and why to cut the logistics in the south and north, i.e. m-03 yes , 0.5-013 is already obvious and in addition to this in the south there is also an advance along the canal, which also expands the zone of our control, that is, gradually step by step, but much faster than what the russian occupiers did at the time when they captured ours and we are returning our positions and in this way we are creating, i will say yes, the conditions for the very environment bakhmut and the occupiers who are there gradually, it is still too early to talk about it, but we are getting closer to it. and what area is in question, in particular , we understand that there is already de facto nothing

left of the city. well, but if we are talking about the surroundings a certain area is approximately how many hectares or square kilometers, and it is not even necessary to talk about the total area, it is enough to cut the logistics arteries, that is, if you cut the logistics, then they will have nowhere to flee, they will have to flee from the city by the time they have the last routes or logistics is the last one to escape but again it depends on how quickly we do it although there is no need to rush and also whether they will be ready to leave the city a few weeks after as they a-a declared that they supposedly have it under complete control, although this is also not true because the southwestern location near a plane and it remains under the control of the armed forces of ukraine therefore, the decision is only up to him or they will stay there in pasica and die or will become an exchange fund or will flee immediately after they announced the capture of the city or will they let them escape and it all

depends on the situation that will develop if the general command of the russian occupation troops will be understand directly or there is no other way out. then they will not leave thousands of their personnel as an exchange fund, because it will also be a large-scale shame, and they can go to the principle of leaving them surrounded, but then it will be even more catastrophic for the russian command. and it is even more shameful than fleeing because not only will they not be able to escape, but they did not capture the city, they did not receive it, but they left thousands of exchange funds, and there will be no less dead people among the russian occupiers, so it will be a disaster, a total disaster in the institute for the study of war believes that this is the situation, if

they come out, for example , the wagnerites, it will allow ukraine to counterattack. in your opinion, such a forecast is really relevant for ukraine . they will allow this -4,000 personnel to leave, where can they be found to replace them, so that they can be replaced by someone, to be charged again from the flanks, the number of regulars on the flanks will decrease, they did not have time to fully a-a because of the reserve that they have, e-e, replace the wagners of these precisely in the city. so, in this way, they will lose their positions, therefore the wagnerites will be forced to stay there until the end. it seems to me that this is exactly the scenario that will happen. thank you for the analysis. for the information, oleksandr kovalenko was with us - a military-political observer of the information resistance group, and moldova promises to arrest putin, if he comes to the country

, president sanda said about this during an interview when she was asked whether putin will be arrested on an international criminal warrant if he appears in this country or will be seen and we hope that moldova adheres to the agreements, but what are the latest news in ukraine outside its borders in a moment, our colleague anna eva melnyk will tell you annuyevo word chersonesus tavriyskyi was looted and what germany thinks about the provision of cruise missiles to ukraine
