[000:00:00;00] students, one federal chancellor well, of course, we will wait for news from the front, because the counteroffensive is ongoing, and this counteroffensive has been awaited both in the world and in ukraine, in particular, we support our armed forces of ukraine, so wait for tomorrow's broadcast, for today everything take care of yourself and your relatives. goodbye. good evening. iryna taraniuk is in the studio with you on the bbc broadcast, and we start the week with an analysis of what is happening at the front, the first assessments of the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine from western experts, in these shots of fighters of the 35th separate brigade of marines, the ukrainian flag in the village watchdog, the russians deny the advance for their own, they say that these villages were in the gray zone , experts emphasize one thing, the inevitable and long-awaited counteroffensive

of the armed forces of ukraine has begun, this is its first volleys, the main blow will come later when it comes , we will try to find out on the basis of verified information from open sources, the very first successes of the ukrainian counteroffensive, the representatives of the ministry of defense reported on monday about the release of 5 selyshna junctions of the donetsk and zaporizhzhia regions for the weekend. in the southern direction from the great novosilka, three villages were liberated: blagodatne makarivka and neskuchne, all small settlements on the map of the combat zone lie along one of the lines of the ukrainian counteroffensive in the west of the donetsk region, another line in zaporizhzhia in the direction of the city of tokmak , several settlements were also liberated there, the russian side

officially retreated does not recognize, and the spokesman of the ministry of defense in moscow reports daily on allegedly repulsed ukrainian attacks and destroyed western equipment, a little later the assessment is that from the british and american military strategists and first an analysis of events and the situation on the front line by cambrilla bembridge from the bbc verify department this is a new structure of the bbc that verifies videos and text messages based on open sources ukraine seeks to inject energy into its counteroffensive quickly achieving certain successes this is one of the first images we received from this region you can see this village called grahodenyi ukrainian military entered a dilapidated building and hung the ukrainian flag this is how it looks from the outside nearby the village of storozheve here we also see ukrainian soldiers with a flag. and this is also from the same region, russian armored vehicles with soldiers nearby, if you look at where these four villages are in a wider context, you can see

that they are all located along the river, near the main road that goes south to the sea , but they are quite far from the russian line of fortifications which is marked in white to this line for about 20 km more if we look at this line in a little more detail this is how it looks like this is an anti-tank year followed by dragon's teeth and let's look at it in even more detail as you can see the widths are still being dug it is significant, so it is difficult for armored vehicles and tanks to cross it. and this is what also complicates the so-called dragon's teeth, again , another line of defense. and behind this are trenches , but as i said, it is almost 20 km from the villages that, as the ukrainians say, they took so, if we look at the wider map

, the recent achievements of ukraine, which we talked about, are marked in red here. it can be seen that they are about 100 km from the coast. split the so-called land corridor that connects russia with the illegally indexed crimea. this is much more than a task that can take months on its part . carried out counteroffensive actions on at least three areas of the front and liberated a number of settlements in the donbass, and then there is a possible explanation of why russian military spokesmen do not report on their the retreat, russian sources probably call the breakthrough of their defenses the capture of the gray zombies, downplay the successes of ukraine, british military expert sean bell said in a tv interview that

the dam on the river, planted in the air by the russians, is getting wet near novodarivka, will not have a big impact on the pace of the advancement of the armed forces, he also agrees with the assessments of the american institute that all these offensive actions have not yet made a breakthrough in the war. this is the beginning of a long, difficult and exhausting struggle - he says, everyone in the field of defense is saying that now the armed forces are trying to cut off the so-called a temporary speech, but this very village has been confirmed, the information is currently not the first careful advances deep into the territory occupied by the russians, only the beginning of a counteroffensive, a kind of reconnaissance by combat, it is not necessary to make predictions and hasty conclusions , retired british general richard burns emphasized in a conversation with the bbc. now we are observing only the beginning of a counteroffensive no more than reconnaissance to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the russian defense, so in the last 48 hours we have seen some successes, but

this is only about one and a half kilometers of territory which may or may not be part of russia's first line of defense out of three, but it must be admitted that from the place where the ukrainian army is now to the sea of ​​azov is about 200 km. it can be seen that this counteroffensive is very different from those we saw last fall, firstly, russia prepared a literally textbook defense of three lines of trenches and strips sometimes 25 km long filled with mines and tank ditches and all these trenches are filled with soldiers with very powerful re artillery and ammunition that they have kept specially for this inevitable counteroffensive and they can become decisive in this kind of battles, so in a few days the russians will meet the ukrainians who are now even more equipped

with nato equipment that they trained for several months next to nato fighters, but in essence they still represent a people's army, so it will be a much tougher and fiercer battle than the one we saw last year for the ukrainian military or for any it is not a surprise to the professional military that the russians have essentially laid three lines of trenches and they will fight for each of them and in between they will be able to carry out counterattacks. their goal is to make it very difficult for the attackers to break through, but if they do, they will lure them into what are called zones mini-fields of death, places where artillery or tanks are concentrated , in order to repulse any advance and return it to its original positions, russia also looks at the amapa like everyone else and understands in which places

ukraine will attack most improbably, too built powerful defensive fortifications there and then transferred its best soldiers there so that they dug in there and repelled the attack, so ukraine now faces a much more difficult military task than its relatively easy victories in the north of the country last fall, in addition, russia has in its arsenal an air force that they will gladly cover the sky over the russian army and this is a very big help in the fight for the front line, in addition, russia also has one or two units of really powerful artillery systems such as the sun the russian arsenal has quite significant tools, which ukraine does not actually have. the general partially agrees. kurt volker, the former envoy of the us administration for ukraine, is convinced that russia has already suffered a strategic defeat in the war and no

defense lines will stop the onslaught of the armed forces. the main part of the counterattack is the stage at which ukraine tries to find out where the russians are capable and intend to defend themselves, and not just achieve some success in certain areas. i think we we will be able to assess everything. after this phase, then we will see where the ukrainians want to make the biggest breakthrough, of course there will be no counteroffensive without costs, the ukrainians will lose military equipment, unfortunately, they will also lose human lives, but all this is part of the effort to determine in which direction it is more ineffective to advance in order to return their territory to russia erected a lot of defensive structures, prepared trenches and prepared traps for tanks, the so-called dragon's teeth, which are more difficult to pass through, but these are mechanical things that they can force people what to do when the morale of the russian soldiers is not being shot at them the will

of the russian military to really stand up and fight is a very big question mark, i am sure we will see that the ukrainians with their high morale and great capabilities will be able to break through an actor who declares that he is better than the russian state and demands its support, i think they will eventually get rid of him , but they haven't done it yet, because they really needed his military opportunities, such as when he took the city of bakhmut, did not prevent him from doing so, but i think that moscow's patience will come to an end, and it will take steps to gradually absorb its troops, the tension between the three main military leaders, the chechen leader kadyrov prizhin and his group wagner and the ministry of defense of russia, led by shoigu and even in the ministry of defense itself there are generals who neglect

the wagner group and such as actually cooperate very closely with it and this creates tension in the russian army itself, the russians are in the midst of losing the war in in ukraine, they even use the breach of the dam as part of a military strategy, this is done with the intention of making an impassable territory in the south and therefore restraining any movements in this region, as well as to predict what the next offensive will be and better prepare to respond to it, but i also think that the the fact that they're blowing up the dams the fact that they're doing it means they know they're losing ground another assessment from ex-british intelligence officer justin cramp he was interviewed by bbc

dahakim, who is currently broadcasting from kyiv, we agree that given the difficult situations and challenges faced by the ukrainian military, we will see large losses, this cannot be avoided. i think there is a certain myth that western weapons and western equipment are invincible in conflicts. this is absolutely not the case, you will suffer losses, especially when crossing mini fields especially when you attack a prepared enemy it is a very difficult operation and when we do this in training in the british army using advanced simulations lasers artillery we consider successful if the fourth part of the forces breaks through in such heavy attacks on prepared positions, which is really true. so it is that western weapons survive longer and better than russian equipment, and they also protect the lives of crews better, and we have already heard about it from the ukrainian side, they lost several pieces of equipment in these very difficult operations , mainly due to shifts and complex ambushes, but the crews were saved and it is also obvious from

that video that it is very important for ukraine. after all , people are more important than equipment, they can get more equipment very quickly, we saw but they can't train new crews very quickly, so saving people's lives is very important, justina, a large amount of material that appears from russian bloggers , meanwhile, president zelenskyi said at a press conference on saturday that you shouldn't believe everything that appears in a telegram in these bloggers, but what can be learned from the video that they publish, so something is possible . i think, in particular, from how this video appears and who distributes it. they are in a hurry to announce their successes. ukraine announced this campaign of silence, and you remember this advertising where people say russia publishes a lot of things, i think to support the owner of the soldiers, they are very nervous because of such a counter-offensive , their people are alarmed. i think a large number

of russian materials are created so as to be propaganda both externally, but also for our own people, look, we survive, we can destroy western tanks and again the losses of western tanks were inevitable and many of the russian videos we see are the same incidents filmed from different angles, they post different pieces of the same picture, but what we don't see yes, this is a video of the russians with a large number of victims from the ukrainian side, we do not see a video of the russians with captured and western equipment . so while the ukrainians are really suffering losses , it seems that the battlefield is moving further south . and this also means that the ukrainians could take this damaged equipment and in in the worst case, let it go for spare parts, in the best case, it is not always possible to return it to operation, but it is necessary to keep in mind that the equipment that ukraine returned from the battlefield can be returned to the front line again.

the centralized water supply in the indicated settlement where about a thousand people live today due to the deterioration of the supply of technical water in the zaporizhzhya region, in 14 settlements there is a question of supply of technical water, where about 25,000 residents live , taking into account the indicated by local self-government bodies, communal services , units of the state emergency service, system water supply and suspension of water, both technical and drinking, measures are also being taken to clean rivers and reservoirs, which can become an alternative source of technical water supply to the specified settlements , the situation is all under control, it corresponds to the real
