pyatikhatka from the zaporizhzhia region and that important extremely important point because er hm let's say the russians have been throwing information about the difficult situation for them in this settlement for a few days we are in such a regime you know hygiene i wouldn't say even a thousand but really hygiene we filter information and consume it we draw we now have official confirmation of it from official sources, and accordingly we can provide you with audiovisual materials that are already on the network about the work of our defense forces in the area of ​​pyatikhatok today, june 18, by forces the rashists of the 128th brigade and the second osb

were knocked out of the settlement of pyatikhatki , they cleared and ran away , they got on the equipment because i am in ukraine. glory to the heroes. we were there earlier, and it shows that most of them were actually evacuated. well, let's remind you that despite everything, the enemy continues to shell the territory of our country , there were no overflows to the ukrainian rooster and odesa that night, and of course from the kherson region donetsk region and kharkiv region are being shelled continuously, now we will talk about the situation on the fronts with our next guest, and our next guest yevgeny wild public activist former battalion platoon commander aidar head of the national antarctic science center yevheny i congratulate you as a hero glory please tell me what the situation is like at the front what you know well somewhere in

fact approximately the same as you because more yes he has because at the moment it is really necessary to discuss what is happening very carefully but i guess i will have to, after all, only in general terms, fortunately, pyatihatka has already been officially confirmed, there are no secrets to understand why this is important, except that everyone is released, it is always nice, but uh, there is more or less strategic weight, so if we will see pyatikhatki further behind the pyatikhatki, vasylivka opens. and behind the vasylivka there is already energodar, to which the attention was actually focused and to which we will say the fate of the nuclear plant located there, we will say it is one of the most critical moments in the course of these hostilities therefore, the loss of five houses for the russians is not just another, let's say another, nor a simple decision to retreat a little. for

them, this is in fact the opening of a new direction where they need to be afraid or urgently strengthen , that is, to transfer resources from somewhere, well , what is happening at the front in general to a certain extent , the same thing is the stretching of the resources of the russians and their gradual grinding because actually, what is happening there in general ? we are dissecting it, and here i am quite consciously dissecting this front term because it is not about breaking through it at one point, it is about breaking through it in fact well, where to build the main part of this first line of defense it is not continuous, it consists precisely from roadblocks and strongholds, and that is why they are systematically occupied. therefore, the russians in response practice uh

, well, unfortunately, quite effectively and flexibly defense, that is , they retreat, and then when we already enter their positions and they start these positions to process with artillery and aviation, and further their reinforcements are brought up to already knock out our fighters from after the artillery processing, but when their reinforcements are brought up and our artillery is already waiting for them, and that is why the russians are currently suffering very significant losses in the actual armored vehicles of which they are trying to take back we have just liberated the strongholds . and this is exactly the same competition as to who will destroy the most armored vehicles and who will not destroy you at these strongholds . now it is going on practically along the entire front line that is, we do not immediately try to break through to ourselves, we erase

this dotted first line of defense from the map with an eraser, and we try to leave them without armor for the next stage, so that when we will get to the second line, and at the same time, we will most likely go somewhere not at one point, but immediately along a significant part of this line, so that they no longer have a reserve of armored vehicles in order to roll over and plug holes, this is exactly what is happening now, what is it about it can be said of course at the same time unfortunately, we are suffering losses to him as in any offensive operations, unfortunately it is simply impossible, but even with the fact that the enemy has an advantage in artillery and aviation, it can still be firmly said that the ratio of losses is clearly greater for the russians. and this it's not typical at all. in general, the defenders lose less. but this is just an indicator of the fact that, after all, they are already greatly weakened and

are fighting . we still have very few planes, but this seems to be the last advantage of the russians in everything, because they already seem to be at a disadvantage. you noticed that uh, actually, when you are in uh, on the defensive, you lose less. we can see now in the south of our country that this paradigm is actually breaking down, and i dare say that according to the testimony of those medics who are currently working in the east in some places at the checkpoints that are a support for fighters from the bakhmut direction, for example

, these medics report on that they have something the load has decreased, although our defense forces on the flanks of bakhmuti are also located, well, the initiative is in their hands, we will speak so optically, what is the secret if you can say so evgeny well, it seems to me that the secret is a secret from two sides, from our side we learned to attack, i remember last year's kherson offensive these are completely frontal assaults which, unfortunately, cost a lot of money. and now i have not seen anything like that. now i see that they do not have what you are talking about now. now i can see very precisely what they are doing. it is clear. where exactly is this, how do you know the folk proverb, where it breaks thinly? when it becomes clear, the concrete is very quickly thrown under the fastening. so, the main thing is that it works out very well, then in these parts of the russians, who rush into us from

newly hired positions. in many cases, our artillery manages to catch them right on the road, and most likely this is precisely what causes the main losses of the enemy, and as for that, i think that their losses indicate that they have few reserves left, so they have already gone through this situation what a russian it's called a trishkin kaftan, it's when in order to sew an arm in one place, you have to cut off the same arm in another place. well, there are still a lot of them, you need to understand that the task that our defenders are currently performing is extremely difficult, it's not that it's not an easy walk, it's a very hard job this is a more difficult task than anything. what did the armed forces of ukraine do before this

, especially in the conditions, i will remind you once again that the advantage of the russians is the air force, a tenfold advantage of the russians. but that's it impression that we are now even on the offensive, you said that they have an advantage in artillery, it looks so far without appeal, definitely although i think that the efficiency of our artillerymen and their skill is more personal yes yes we are forced to compensate for this quantity with a much higher quality but that's all well, sometimes the shaft just weighs in relation to the number , well, the numbers that the general staff reports to us actually every day look really interesting. they are crazy at their peak for the whole year and a half, that is, if you rely on the analysis from oleksiy kopytka, for example, yes, the strength of the

defense of ukraine. now our means and resources allow us to er can we talk about the fact that such an approach er can in a certain time lead to catastrophic and irreversible losses in the enemy's artillery because their art let's be frank this is a very painful story for our defense forces about it very our infantry knows it well, and it is tragic for us from my own experience . i remember it even on the 14th. this is exactly how we were, we were exactly the assault infantry. we went to the advanced positions of the enemy and we actually took the enemy's positions and it was 10 % of cases 90% it was possible to hold back after that, because they took mine relatively easily, but then enemy art began to work on them. moreover, since this is their former position, they have every meter measured there, all the coordinates are known, that is,

they carried us out very precisely and then i am pulling you on the armor, the reserves of style in order to knock us out one by one. what is happening now, well, the scale is much larger now, and the only one, after all, we still had an advantage in the 14th russia. now , unfortunately, it is actually me on i put their aviation in the first place in terms of pre-school. and this is the biggest problem, in second place is their art, well, actually, the fact that there are a lot of them , but today we already have an advantage in terms of armor. statistics about which you say it is not by chance that we if they work as they know how to work they know how to work in squares well, yes, according to their former supports, they know about this is true, but still, it is again in squares and we work in the regime of the so-called

artillery duels, that is, when it is calculated exactly where their projectiles are flying from and that is exactly where our art works with aim their warehouses are very painful, but what is restored from the warehouses needs time to restore, it is not ready to fight immediately, the factories are really idle and they are not producing new guns right now, so there is actually not just a chance, there is a significant probability that in some time we will exhaust their artillery precisely with these art duels. that's the same. by the way, what happens with their armored vehicles is that they have many times more of their basic equipment than we currently have parity. and not because they gave us so much , but mainly because we have so much their destroyed and for now, this destruction of armored vehicles also remains

one of the key tasks, but at the current stage of the offensive, i will repeat that by the time we reach their second line of defense, they have almost no reserves that can be quickly thrown over and plugged holes, mr. yevgeny, there is information that during the current operations, ukraine lost less than 10% of the western equipment received from partners and allies. this was reported by the head of the intelligence center of the estonian defense forces , colonel margo grosberg. please tell me in general, how will this information affect the further support of ukraine from the western partners, well, it is definitely positive . because if it was, we lost half of it in the first couple of weeks of the offensive. i think that the allies took the test. and should we give good, expensive modern equipment if it works just like very such a fast consumer and less than 10% lost in two weeks of offensive is a very good indicator even for western armies, despite

the fact that they have never fought, western armies have never conducted offensive operations like this scale without an absolute advantage in the sky and without an absolute advantage in it, we will now do what is considered impossible in theory in the west and at the same time demonstrate the losses of armored vehicles that are quite comparable to those that the western armies are losing, well, in an order of magnitude more comfortable conditions, yevgeny, give us a little let's talk about the transfer and movement of the enemy's manpower and equipment along the front , are they trying to saturate their groups in our so far occupied territories with something from the territory of their own country? in fact, what was standing in the east of the kherson region, on the occupied part, the russians are now trying to transfer it to

the zaporozhye direction and to the bakhmut direction , there is such information, whether these movements will save them, or whether the logistics of this route are safe for them they are using because er, well, the last few days show that the destruction of their and munitions accumulations and convoys with equipment that are actually moving all this is taking place and it is happening regardless of how effective these are their e mobile measures no well, here, after all, it is not worth overestimating. how far we can get so far, the road along the coast of the sea of ​​azov can actually be considered conditionally safe for them . we can get there. they also have a lot of anti-aircraft defense, here we have practically a passerby, their aviation does not fly on our side of the front, ours is different, but

both sides are saturated, that ’s why they can move for the time being, but their key problem is otherwise, it’s the same a little bit the caftan i was talking about, pay attention, they are bringing reinforcements , not from the urals, not from the moscow region, not from siberia, they transfer within the same front from the kherson region to zaporizhzhia, zaporozhian donetsk, that is , strategic reserves, not just they are no longer there, they are forced to play within the boundaries of this group that they drove here. moreover, from this grounding, they are also trying to escape, and we literally with you, when there yesterday or the day before yesterday, yes, we watched the heroic escape of the chechen kadyrov of this akhmat which just suddenly took it and decided that it was much more important to protect belgorod, so we went to defend belgorod, you know, they found a conditional project

they have. by the way, now the volunteers of the russian volunteer corps, who gave them such an opportunity to escape from the real dangerous direction in time, that is russia, unlike akhmata, er, the russian language is not allowed to do this there, so they will die where they are told, but the key thing is that they do not have additional resources that can be brought here . they only rearrange the resources that are already here, and by the way, you mentioned me about the warehouses. to be honest, genichesk was impressed, it wasn't that we got it, it's just not surprising, it's surprising that they still have such large warehouses, not concentration, but concentrated in one point. well, you already know that this is such criminal negligence that should have been punished, mr. yevgeny, russia threw helicopters into the south of ukraine to deter the offensive of the armed forces, at least that is what the russians claim. 20 it seems so since the beginning of

the full-scale invasion of our soldiers it was possible to destroy more than 300 pieces of equipment i mean helicopters now what do you think how many days are left until 52 were destroyed how many more reserves do the russians have to fly and prevent let's say so our armed forces really have enough to win so far well but accordingly let's say yes how are they losing them, five pieces in the last week, well, this is actually very, very little, this means that our advancing troops are quite well saturated with manpads, that is, portable anti-aircraft missiles that are carried with unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to shoot down a plane with such a missile. well, except when it actually goes into hell, but for helicopters, such portable granite complexes are a serious enough threat. well, what has actually been demonstrated from the other side , they are helicopters by themselves. so far

they are not shot down, they are a serious threat, first of all, to armored vehicles on the march. and it is precisely in this role that the russians are trying to use them , that is, how do you know them? with our own hands 52 to create a threat relatively speaking for our leopards, but although the partners should provide us with aviation, we will do everything in order to get cool fighters and somehow, as it sounds very little to me, give us some patches well, for example, well, i don't hear calls to give we have helicopters and all that we seem to have received are some semi -civilian ones. maybe there are some machines adapted for combat, yes, helicopters, but after all, this is such a civilian story. why, why is it not emphasized , we don’t need these helicopters, and what
