[000:00:00;00] everything, everything, igor left for the moment, 9 months saved, well, 17 hryvnias, so they won’t go there because they will be, they will go upstairs , there are three left, that is, girls, just today we managed to open 9 and one kitten and small dogs from the period of this flooding

of animals, we managed to save them. how much more do you think, how long will it take, that's how much we will work , the destruction of the kakhovka hpp dam in the kherson region, which caused the flood, may force ukraine to change some offensive plans , siyan reports with reference to his sources according to two western officials, due to the destruction of the hydroelectric power station, it will be more difficult for the ukrainian military to cross the dnipro and attack russian positions, everything that was planned downstream from the dam will probably have to be rescheduled , sianenko, the ambassador of an unnamed european country in washington, said in a comment. us authorities and western countries, according to sources cnn noticed signs indicating the beginning

of an offensive by the armed forces of ukraine in recent days ukrainian forces have conducted significant operations in the zaporizhzhia region, as well as south of donetsk was also informed about this by the american institute for the study of war the other day in its regular report on how the situation in the zaporozhye region has changed in recent days and how the plans of the military could or could be affected by the destruction of the gs, we will talk further , valery shershen, the spokesman of the united press center forces of the taurian direction good evening good evening yes, i gave the american institute for the study of war 2 days ago in its analysis report that the ukrainian military had probably advanced up to three kilometers there in the zaporozhye direction and overcame at least one line of defense. can you confirm this information? we must rely on the operational reports of the general

staff, and if this information is present there, further detail. i'm asking you, well, we have a hierarchy of information submission, and everything is done precisely for this purpose. that is, you cannot now be in the zaporizhzhia direction . in the directions of this information to orihiv, i am working there , he is defending himself, he is moving troops, he aims to strengthen his groups in certain directions , the de-occupation troops are expecting a breakthrough, or our offensive, here is an example of a change in units

of the storming of the zed in one of the occupied units of the marines have arrived in the city, this is in relation to the rotation of the advancement of our units in the defense zone , this is such a local success, because there is always the task of improving one's position or entering more profitable frontiers on perspective, these are actions of local importance, we are talking about zaporizhzhia, what interests you, in some areas , there is such mobility and invigoration among the activities, there are battles for the great novosilky, and for comparison in the bakhmut direction with the battles, and the defense forces there are moving forward the enemy there is trying to stop our advance, but he is not succeeding, here are some analogies of comparison and in this way we can understand the general situation, but what about these

last two days, taking into account the destruction of the hydroelectric power station the situation has changed in tarivsk in the tauri direction, again, we can rely on our operational reports, in the tauri direction , i can say that the explosion of the kakhovskaya hpp and the man-made disaster did not affect our operations in the area of ​​responsibility in any way. if you look at the map, we control the situation in the upper part of the former kakhovsky reservoir nikopol manganets populated areas of zaporozhye, including orihiv gulyaipole velika novosilka vugledar and further east along donetsk region to the city of avdiyivka we have a vector of responsibility. well, then you said that you are observing certain rotations on the part of the russian military . perhaps you see some other changes in their behavior or tactics, again, against the background of the destruction of the hydroelectric power station

, the situation is under control in our country and there are no changes in the defense forces of the tauri direction continue to give a worthy repulse to the enemy, especially a lot of work in the city of maryinka, in general, after the situation around bakhmut , maryinka remains the hottest spot in the east of ukraine, and over the past day, our defenders repelled all 13 enemy attacks here in the same time, the enemy carried out airstrikes within the boundaries of this settlement, and also a layer of tauri shelling hit this city today, our defenders repelled nine more attacks in the city of maryanka, our defense operation continues in general in the avdiiv direction, because the enemy here continues to focus on the introduction offensive actions and why exactly after the bahmu? well, from your point of view, maryinka ended up there as another target for russian military enemies, she aims to reach the administrative borders

of the donetsk region, and well, maryinka in general, for the enemy, this is a kind of sacred, sacred city , it seems to the enemy that it is necessary to make some effort and he will be able to knock out the ukrainian defenders and finally capture the city, the ruins themselves already have such a sacred meaning , symbolism, and they say, this is another settlement e- e donbas, which they want to capture there since 2014. maryinka has always been on their radar here and in 2015 it was very difficult because even then the front line or as it was then called the demarcation line. it passed it was in the vicinity of marinka that the enemy was not able to take it, and obviously now he has such fighters and a vision of something, now the time

has come, we just need to increase the pressure well , secondly, having broken through the defenses in marinka, the enemy goes to kurakhove then he can go to the rear in our group that holds vugledar, he can go to the flank. if this happens to the flank of pervomaisk, where our units also hold the line, and then there is an exit to avdiyivka , that is why this is a very important strategic point and will allow to exit as the enemy thinks ours groups, and by themselves the ruins of maryinka are no longer of any value. and who? who is there now leading the offensive or shelling ukrainian territories, if you take the bakhmut brothers, then it was mainly the wagnerites, and

who now remained in these directions, well , the most important thing is to say that it is a regular the russian army and that's how it is for them, for example, such units as akhmat sever came for reinforcements, these are chechen units of akhmat sever on rotation, they changed units, for example, storm storm z and here, uh, this is how rotations take place and such and such are represented by the troops from that side of the defense forces of the tauri direction, we talked about what is happening in the hottest areas of the front, which have now become

such after the bachmut thank you very much russian forces deliberately blew up the kakhova hpp on instructions from the kremlin radio svoboda reported this in a comment according to danilov, the secretary of the nsdc oleksiy danilov, before the detonation , the russian troops raised the water level at the kakhovsky hpp because they controlled it. the dam could have collapsed, they say, due to improper maintenance , this version is voiced in particular by some western osin and analysts, the american institute for the study of war cannot give a final assessment, but believes that the balance of evidence, reasoning and rhetoric indicates that the russian military deliberately damaged the dam, this is specifically stated in the current review institute why is this for the kremlin and what advantages did the russian troops count on in this case if they really blew up the dam, how does the destruction of the dam affect the situation

at the front and how the distribution of forces on the front line has changed over the past few days, we will talk about it on our airwaves. oleksiy hetman , a military analyst, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, joins. good evening , oleksiy. well, look, the ukrainian government is absolutely unanimous and they say that the dam was deliberately the russian side blew up, western politicians are more careful, they do not remove responsibility from russia because russia occupied these territories, but they do not directly say that russia blew up the dam and the white house says that they are now investigating the british prime minister has just made a comment about the situation. they, too, the british also say that they are still studying the situation. come on, what do you say in this regard, did the russian army objectively have reasons to blow up the dam for military purposes, you don't hear me did the russian army have reasons for military purposes to blow up the dam? and what specifically

motivated them to do it for a period of time? well, first of all, blowing up the dam makes it possible for the kakhov reservoir to merge and flood what is downstream dnieper, this led to the fact that the dnieper overflowed, the right banks were partially flooded and the main part, because it is the left bank, that is, now to force such a river, if the russians thought that we were going to force the river somewhere near kherson, then it became impossible now, but this does not mean that our plans for a counteroffensive somehow changed yesterday, general nayav said that such options were listed by our general staff when it was planned, planned from our offensive actions, there were options for undermining

the kakhovskaya hpp by the russians, there were options detonation of the kakhovka hpp, but this option is not currently being worked out, it's like something happened that we didn't foresee. and it was calculated and there are action plans, including in the situation that has developed, he said about it the day before yesterday , not yesterday, president zelenskyi already said about it when he told on television what the supreme commander-in-chief was talking about, that is why we can conclude that there will be no stoppage or stoppage of the actions of our armed forces , it will happen here, but according to a different plan predicted the destruction of the kakhovsky hpp. but am i right? i will repeat the question. maybe i didn't understand you. what do you think? the russian military deliberately and specifically blew up the dam right now in order to somehow change the plans of the ukrainian opposition. i

understood you correctly. of course, they are about this is what was said about the possibility of being mined there. last year, once again , on october 20, president zelenskyi said that there are signs and intelligence that explosives are being brought there and that they can to use these reservoirs to flood the part of the earth that is below and thus, when the river overflows , we understand that it is necessary to force a water obstacle , well, in this case , the dnipro. here are the locks, they are metal gates, there can be a conversation that they could not withstand something, the dam is designed for blows, well, powerful air strikes, including there were 18 sectors, 11 sections were destroyed, that is, to say that it is just

i couldn't stand the onslaught of water, well, it's so stupid that i don't even want to comment on it. it wasn't just an explosion. trucks with explosives came and blew up on the dam. it was explosives planted in a different way. it worked . it was engineering work. well, it's also similar when cars are blown up. there is still mining on the surface of the earth. well, many people have seen such videos and where there is such a directed explosion and then it is going to be there, what was destroyed by this directed explosion, it was also a directed explosion, they were working there russian engineers who planted explosives for one day and it was clearly clearly planned their operation to say that they did not calculate the explosives, well, this is magi well, because , well, this is, well, you know, the master of the salary of the explosives and incorrectly calculated how much is needed in order to destroy it this is, this is, i'm sorry, it's a children's swan in the russian language, so you shouldn't listen to it either, it's not, it's not

, it's not russian, it's people who aren't russians who blew it up, it could be something else. well, you know. you can skip anything, i've already heard the version that the scuba divers swam through, and the ukrainian one planted explosives . well, so you understand, they had to drag along the bottom , preferably with explosives. there were several trucks there, like a diver, moss, to pull tons , hundreds of contests came back, i i understand your position, yes, then i have the following question . now we see that active evacuation of civilians is taking place. if we talk about the pro-russian military, which is concentrated on the left bank part of the kherson region , how can they behave now? will they leave completely together with the equipment or without the equipment, so the question is will they leave and not return or will they leave and be able to return and why and is it possible that we can assume that now together with the water they will leave and when the water falls the ukrainian

military will have a chance to liberate such cities as nova kakhovka oleshki gola prystan here's how this situation can develop after the water recedes, well, for now there are russians, some military personnel are sitting on trees and waiting for the owners, so that someone will deforest them, well, they were so very funny there are pictures in some telegram channels and they moved 10-15 km away from the city where they were located . they built, as they said, three lines of defense there, where it was flooded . they flooded the first line by themselves . they flooded not only the line of defense, they also flooded the field ones warehouses with ammunition, some flooded some part of the equipment. and what is most important is that they mined the coast and exchanged them in order to make it impossible or to stop or make our offensive actions more difficult. well, when the territory is mined

it is made up like a map of minefields, that is, mine, where is the mine located, so that the people who laid them understood where you can walk and where you can’t, that is , appropriate maps are being made now, the water could move , it could n’t. a lot of things are not just water, this is not a spring, and there is also a very powerful wave going there, and it is one hundred percent of the price, it was not possible to move it, it could move it, it moved them to what distance, well, even to a long distance, but those maps will be what are they they drew where is my field, you can throw it away because they are now in another place or why is it dangerous , especially for the civilian population, well, the people who lived there, they used to walk on certain paths , when the water falls, these paths can already be mined by the dnipro water, what are the prices i didn’t move, so it’s about the danger for the civilian population, probably for the ukrainian military too , it can be dangerous for the ukrainian

military, there is no danger here, there were no maps of the minefields, we didn’t know where they were are located, but we have specialists who can demine, we have remote methods of demining, we planned to do it that way, but the russians and those people who lived there who knew exactly where you can walk, now you can’t walk there well , what does this mean, how will it affect their behavior, they they will not return again, but most likely they will return there if they return, they will blow up their own mines, so most likely they will go there at least because of this well, they will most likely not return there, if only because they do not know now where the mines are located although with theirs with their logic with their philosophy it is quite possible that well , they were making trenches in the red forest and it is quite possible that they will just leave and will be blown up, but do you remember as zhukov said when we let the infantry land on minefields, they told him that he would die like that or well 10

% leave the rest, they will pass peacefully, they may do the same, but most likely this is the undermining of the kakhovskaya hpp. it was not only an attempt to stop our offensive actions, they perfectly understood, they understood from all the data and all the analytics that they do not hold back our strikes and no on the left bank of the dnipro river near kherson, not in other places, we use our tactics and our weapons, which are modern, we outnumber them because they had to say what they are doing again already with good will when they will flee and this is a good reason to say that they built everything as it should be, they could hold the defense, but they will blame us that we are ukraine, that we blew up this dam and that is why they were forced to leave, well, this may also be one of the reasons why they did so in order to somehow justify their departure , of course they said that the photo and video as russian the military are sitting on the trees, in fact, we are now later in their territories, but in the local public from the occupied territories, local residents write about the fact that the russian military is taking positions on the roofs of houses

, that is, this is what it actually means. i think that they are listening in on the flood, rather after all, it can be this way. and if not, then they well, they may think that we are going to advance on this big water in some boats, and therefore they will hold the defense, well, listen, it was flooded, uh, they had they are in the opposition somewhere, well, for example, some kind of trench, well, there is already water in the trench, so there is no place to take more positions, of course, they climb on the roofs to some place that is above the water. well, here you can even understand why she does that, because they are a golden trauma, i want to ask you, as soon as we had a direction, he mentioned the fact that now there are ongoing battles in the marinka and around maryinka. also today, the deputy minister of defense hanna malyar reported that in the direction of bakhmut, the ukrainian military

has switched to prohibitions in the offensive do you see personally, there are some signs that the ukrainian military has passed the ban on the offensive in the direction of bakhmut to the deputy minister hanna malaryny voda, in general , in the telegram channel, they posted such a picture, where there is a map. well, there would have been hostilities there in bakhmut, and it was red in a red circle, this, i think, is additionally psychological the pressure on the russians, when they saw it, they were even more frightened than bakhmut. we plan to sharpen as soon as possible, so they will happen. our tactics of action are modern, they are the same as the tactics of nato countries, we do not carry out meaty frontal assaults we are making attacks and other other means in our country in order to achieve our goals and most likely we will surround this city and the people who were left there by the russians will either flee or surrender or they want them through us, they will simply be destroyed, so really to the south of bakhmut, there are certain advances

from 400 to 1,200 m, and this means that bakhmut was known about this a few days ago, it is in semi-preparedness, as the anomaly said, and in the operational environment, i said the commander of the syrian command troops ago it is quite likely that we will be able to hone in on this place and thus liberate it, and not as the wagnerites did with frontal assaults for almost a year. thank you very much for your comment oleksiy hetman, military analyst veteran of the russian-ukrainian wars, we talked about how the distribution of military forces will change as a result the destruction of the kakhovka hpp well , as a result of the destruction of the kakhovka hpp and the flooding of the territory, at least seven people are considered missing, they announced this in the occupation administration of novaya kakhovka, it is occupied, i will remind several villages and towns

occupied part of the kherson region were almost completely flooded, some people spent the night on the roofs of houses, relatives on social networks are asking to save their children, parents who were trapped in water, according to the video that appears on the network, some units of the russian army remain, leaving the flooded settlements, so ukrainians who live in these populated areas may be left without the possibility to evacuate, this is our dacha edem, direct submission, this video was probably shot in the occupied oleshki, this city on the left bank of the dnieper near kherson is simple near the river from novaya kakhovka, the dam was blown up to oleshok, about 70 km, the water rose to the level of the roofs of the houses, local residents in boats are trying to save those who cannot get out on their own, keep holding on , we will try to break out , god help us so that we can reach the other side for the information of the mayor the water rose to 3 m in some places in the city, the lack of mass evacuation from

villages and towns occupied by russia is evidenced by correspondence in community chats, ukrainians who have relatives in these settlements are asked to check the streets and specific houses where there are older people and children who no one is evacuating, people who are on the roofs of their houses waiting for rescue managed to be filmed , probably by the military of the 406th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, the footage shows a woman with children using a drone to transfer water to the network, there are also videos of russian military personnel leaving flooded places according to the information of volunteers who help to evacuate from populated areas of the kherson region in oleshki and other occupied cities, the russian military allegedly made assembly points to evacuate residents to crimea, but the occupiers, according to the volunteers they began to stop cars and demand russian passports

, everything is not dogs, tonya and everything absolutely everything is not water, we can’t swim , we can’t swim anything, we can’t let you call back, it’s not possible, the connection will be rare because there is no light, how does it save batteries, except for people from flooding in the occupied territories is suffering and the animals in these shots are likely to remove the shelter for dogs in oleshki the situation is difficult according to local residents and in the russian-occupied prystan, hundreds of people trapped on the roofs of houses, according to eyewitnesses who managed to evacuate, almost all the houses were under water and were shot at and the lily was already flooded. how did they live? yes, there is gas, there is light, there is no light, there is no water, there is no light, and there will be no transformer booth for a long time. he is in the water in the occupied nova kakhovka, according to the information of local residents

and the occupation authorities. water and food delivery, and the situation is currently under control, according to the representative of the occupation administration of novaya kakhovka, volodymyr leontiev, at least seven people are considered missing , and the villages of the dnieper cossack camps of korsunka are under water in the area, and there are from 22 to 40 thousand people in the disaster zone on the occupied left bank of the kherson region the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, announced that russia had failed to evacuate the occupied territories, serhii stetsenko radiator well , tetyana hasan-hasanenko joins our broadcast the head of the oleshki city military administration good evening good evening i would like to remind our audience that the city of oleshki is located on the left bank of the dnieper near kherson and is directly next to the river from novaya kakhovka, where the dam was actually blown up -

it is 70 km away, tell me what is the situation in oleshki now you know, it is very difficult for me to find the words to say what this situation is, this situation is not just a difficult situation of despair, because people are behind this tragedy, and as of now , no evacuations are being carried out, people today they remain on the roof and need immediate intervention, but accordingly the orcs say that you will be released from your landslide and saved, but in fact they do not allow you to carry out any evacuation measures and they themselves do not carry them out for their own image. filmed certain such plots when it was announced that it was supposed to be evacuated and now the villages are offering individual people to leave for housing .

they do not want to be evacuated to the russian federation, they refuse to do so, but it is almost impossible to go to the gathering place, 85% of the city is covered with water . - what means of evacuation, i.e. if there is even a possibility of an inflatable boat in order to save people, they threaten to shoot at the shelter, of course people take advantage of such an opportunity, neighbors help each other, but there are the most difficult situations when, even on boats, it is impossible to remove people from the roofs or from the places where they are, as the houses are currently collapsing, and of course we already have reports, so far unofficial, about people who unfortunately became victims of this tragedy, that is, whether i understood correctly, the occupation administration, the military retreated to some safe, safe territory that has not yet been flooded, they allow people to evacuate or whatever they are and the dangerous territory, but for how many cities, let's say it is surrounded by water they are located in the center there, for example, there are three schools where people could be accommodated, there
