[000:00:00;00] and this is logical, because we cannot simply throw people and equipment into battle on a fortified position in nadia, that maybe one out of a hundred will pass there , the second world war will not come now, and in principle, we do not fight like that, that is why we fight as we fought in the kherson region, namely, we protect people we protect the equipment and do not take the enemy 's equipment. well, the task is roughly similar, because it is impossible to compare kherson, er, kherson with kharkiv, these are quite different stories, and even more different now, because uh, in kharkiv, we had to deal with such, well, let's say not very much fixed a line of defense. and now, after all, we have dug up mani fields, we have a real line of defense there, and we have the same task as during the uh, well, when uh, when kherson oblast was liberated from kherson, when it came to the question of the need to somehow

block the logistical routes or there is something to be done with them with all these rear bases , but here, returning to the complexity of this well, we see such and such a story when now, in fact , our troops have to pass through all these lines of defense. there, someone says that it is another there is a line of support, battles are still going on in other places, somewhere the first line of defense has already been breached, but all around we are dealing with variable fields and we are dealing with remote russian e-e mining that is happening there, that is, these mani poles are constantly recovering, what can we do here, that is, what there are countermeasures. what are the ways to overcome these things ? well, at least theoretically, so that it is clear what is actually being decided now. here are our troops in this

plan. well, we are actually watching the shells go gold behind the third line, in fact, yes. for the most part it will reach stubbornly and sometimes on the first line there. this is true, this is exactly what happens there, it is just not very stable, not very clear-cut, but even if we take promotion, here near kravets there is a very nicely drawn arrow pointing at me to remind me that there was actually a contract on the railway key on bas our brands are already close, more or less close to that, if , for example, ours somehow seems like a wave , to take, as far as i remember, the city is not much there anymore, there are rather ruins and the station stands on ruins, then it will be very damaging russian, russian, i don't know russian, supply in the whole region. well, it's not very pleasant. it will fly there. and it will be completely mine. well, right here, there is a very beautifully painted railway, and here it seems to me that it's just everyone. i

didn't give away the city's secret . i can honestly say that, in principle, we have already come close to creating a serious advantage for ourselves . again, we are going to break because of such people under the control of melitopol. will do zaluzhnyi well, that’s why we actually had to do the following . it is imperative that as a route of movement , we infantry rest here and kill her like alexander the sailor, he is his own fortification, come on

, after the advertisement, i hope that more guests from other directions will join us and tell us something about what is happening there is now a moment of advertising on the espresso tv channel and then we will continue there are 20% discounts on combigrip hot sip in pharmacies podorozhnyk you need to save this you need to know and remember brave heroes save the country soul and body heal the carpathians thank you

pages of victory i am olga len - this is a chronicle of military operations we we continue ter and we are talking behind viktor tregupov, major zasul, mykola volokhov, the commander of the tera reconnaissance unit as part of the tactical group azov, has joined us, this is the bakhmut direction and i congratulate you mykola, i congratulate you, i see that the main battles are being reported by our headquarters . kordumivka and in the area of ​​the siversky canal, donetsk, donbass, if we talk

about this week, what is the course of these hostilities, from what you can say, have you managed to advance, are there still enemy counterattacks? what is happening, mykola, can you hear me a little bit the communication will kill me to hear yes yes you can talk yes look now this front line is characterized by the fact that the enemy has lost the initiative, of course in places he tries to attack somewhere, but most likely it is a-a attempts to distract our forces, you know

, it's er-e simulated actions rather than the real one attempts to attack and achieve some realities. and also purely. now we are playing as the number one. now the initiative is on our side, so actually we are imposing a certain pace on the enemy. heard such information. it seems that even the russian e-e forces had to transfer some additional forces in your direction . what is in their positions now is worn out, crumpled, tired, that's why it's true, they are attracting reserves, not all from

the reserve that we think they will attract. and that the water somehow at least in their heads to guarantee or hope that they get them, they really indicate the reserves, that's why it's more likely you know , it's rather a good sign for us because they lay out the cards that they had hidden , they lay them out on the table, we begin to better understand what they actually have there is something we can work on from this time, we are trying this reserve in battle. well, accordingly, it will be easier for us to plan our offensive actions in the future when we know who we are working against . well, the last time such information appeared today that there seems to be progress in the region of the tick from our side. is this really so? can you confirm what to say about that, uh, i can

only say that in this direction for several days, and probably a week in a row, we have some successes, we have some successes, of course, in more detail, where have we progressed and how much better it is to take such information from official sources. but there are successes, i confirm it. thank you, it was mykola volokhov, the commander of the tera intelligence unit as part of the azov tactical group in the bakhmut direction. the coverage of bakhmut from the flanks, which is carried out by our defense forces, and in principle they are successfully carried out, viktor, tell me, uh, what role does this bakhmut direction play now , it diverts forces, it creates another, well, such a place of pressure on the russians, what exactly is it? well, i can't

to say that now there are some minor ones, for example, it will often be almost along the entire line well, not taking into account the luhansk direction, but in my opinion, bakhmut is simply russian , she became hostage to the myth that it was she who was created , er, bakhmut is now er, for them, she is er- is certain the last symbol of some kind of their victory, well, at least they presented it as a victory. they said that they took it completely, which is not entirely true. but nevertheless , and how to lose it now, well, it will be simply idiosyncratic for them, because we took it for 10 months, and the ukrainians took it they took a few weeks ago and they have to keep reserves in bakhmut. they have to choose bakhmut. they don’t have another option and they have to keep certain forces there. on the other hand, the ukrainians don’t try to go head-on here, and here they try

to break into the fortifications, but they retreat, the city is defeated. you are getting around quite successfully, that's why the russians now obviously have a crisis of reserves and, in fact, even a crisis of management, as far as i 'm concerned, because even here the rods are rod here and in all directions they are rod successfully. i mean the ukrainians. well , in general . even the attempt to cover the flanks, which was carried out by the wagnerites themselves, they also spent almost seven months on this, and on the same pincers, to capture it, well , now it is not there yet. our forces, but in principle, they have enough pace, much faster it's true, listen, and if so, let's actually see if we have any information about the fact that the russians had to use some third-echelon forces , eh, well, can we record it, and

somehow say that we we see it was like that, i'm afraid to deceive you, but since i'm right. if i remember correctly, the reserve was thrown in the direction of the gift, it was all kruglodersky and in the whole direction there , the reserve was involved . and again it didn't work out, that is, no successfully, but so the reserves were actually used in the case of the russian troops in the case of our troops well, you couldn't tell me even if i knew, but i don't know something, it's so obvious eh please tell me how to evaluate the actual balance of forces now because eh well, it is known that the kharkiv operation was successful because, after all, there was a balance of forces , well, frankly, not in favor of the russians, they lost there, they decided to relax and withdraw

their forces, and that is exactly why they got what they got whether or not it is possible to somehow estimate this ratio in terms of manpower in the artillery there, that’s how it is, and it is very different, foreigners, foreign colleagues say that there is somewhere in half in terms of manpower, but in terms of artillery , you can’t compare because it is simply very different in quality. i would say that we have an absolute advantage and in terms of drones, for example, the russians have an advantage, again, the situation is symmetrical, but the story is different, the story is that we are not talking about the actual balance of forces on the entire front, we are talking about the possibility of the other side concentrating their forces on a separate direction precisely because the work on the reserves is primarily the elimination of reserves, and that is why they say that the one who spends his reserves first will lose, precisely because he will lose the opportunity to quickly concentrate

forces on a certain area, and the enemy will have the opportunity to quickly concentrate on that area forces in a certain area and, for example, to go into a breakthrough or a counter-attack, that's exactly why we are actually built for this moment . it's impossible to simply compare a breakthrough because both an attack and a counter-offensive - it won't be there i don't know, there will be an even surprise along the front, but there will be an attempt to find the slavka area and concentrate all forces on it, reinforce them with reserves, then introduce a second helmet when the first one will pass somewhere, and it will be a short-term concentration, well, a classic spear , and until then, we simply have not reached this stage yury fedorenko, the commander of the achilles 92 unmanned air defense systems, a separate mechanized brigade named after the head of the basket ivan sirk, has now joined us. he is also a deputy of the kyiv

city council. and he is currently on in the kupyan direction, we know that in the kupyan direction for several days, the russians are trying to move there. by the way, they are trying to move to the lyman and in the area of ​​the srebyan forestry there are ongoing battles, and it is quite fierce. tell us more , yuriy. well, more in detail, what is happening, is it really like this, there is a big difference with what happened there, well, a week ago. what exactly are russian troops doing there now, and what , in fact, are they succeeding in repelling them? glory to ukraine , the assault operations started 2.5 weeks ago, mostly to storm with storm units from this unit from among people who are deprived of their freedom or have been highlighted on the territory of the russian federation, their main task is to get close to the position of the defense forces

, that is, to shorten the gray zone that is mined and accordingly , when the defense forces are on the offensive, this demining takes place at the expense of engineers, sappers, at the expense of artillery and many technical means, then under the cover of armored vehicles of our forces the defense is approaching the enemy, knocking him out, occupying certain plasmas in the russians , everything is different, they use armored vehicles to a lesser extent to cover their infantry, they have enough of the resource, which is precisely from the number of manpower, that is, the task of these units is to get as close as possible to our positions, consolidate , dig in and already then other units and formations that are more prepared to assess the shock-assault action and thus try to knock out the defense forces of the pronominals approach these open positions us positions so that you understand that on a short stretch of the front up to 1 km in a few days the enemy can lose more than 100

representatives or er storms z storm groups and this is a completely normal practice for them , mostly they do not take the wounded from the battlefield and they are transformed from three hundredths at 200, this tactic at one time gave certain tactical successes to the enemy in the bakhmut direction, but if we talk about the present and what is happening in the kupyan direction, the enemy has no significant successes , it can be said with certainty that the defense forces it was possible to stabilize the situation on some flowers , to completely seize the initiative and the enemy is objectively not successful

at the moment, they had to pull them there from other directions. therefore, of course, a certain reserve of personnel of armored vehicles as well as friendly enemy vehicles are present on this windshield, but the question is that they have not managed to find the a place that could be preserved and significantly improved its position, that is why the ukrainian side is actively implementing the development of the enemy's position and making an impression on the enemy 's artillery in the framework of both counter-battery combat and the targeted destruction of their artillery, as well as armored light-armored means of repret means, and the fight is also ending quite actively c pilot can i hear you well, do we have a connection , please tell me yes a-a please tell me , have you seen such a thing, well, has the number of e-e russian artillery increased there

aviation, their attempt to attack by these means, that is, in this case, do you see any changes or is it the same as it was in the direction where the enemy carried out shock and assault actions looking for weak points in the defense and is not simply in a light defense, the presence of artillery will always increase technical means as well as reserves - it is absolutely logical, natural and normal that in the priority direction for the enemy, where he plans to improve his condition and position , additional reserves that he will need in in the event that he finds a weak point in the defense of the defense forces, yes. but we must say that despite the fact that the enemy really has reserves of both artillery and armored vehicles and already a wedding , he will not have significant success because despite the reserve of the defense forces for this period of time a certain amount of artillery and ammunition for them has accumulated and the air reconnaissance component has improved, and accordingly the motivation and training of the personnel

is at a high level. direction, everything is very simple, if you analyze the last two months, look at the map of the e-e clash e-e cash register of the combat clash with the russian occupation troops, you can see in the dynamics that the defense forces of the direction council managed to repulse and also the enemy in other directions significantly advanced forward , that is, in the dynamics, the force defense has taken over the initiative and there are specific achievements in the de-occupation of the territory of ukraine, respectively, there are priority directions in which the fiercest battles are currently taking place for the defense force is moving forward in order to to withdraw our reserves and provide an opportunity to settle the priority areas important to us, the enemy is trying to attack others in order to tie up our reserves, this is the main task and there is another one . maybe it will be possible. maybe it will be

possible . and the position, but for the most part tactical success, the enemy is not on the front line now, that is. we wish you that the situation will continue to be that they will not be able to find anything. were somehow able to defeat them and start moving forward . thanks to yury fedorenko, commander of the acheles attack unmanned aviation complex company of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade. well, i return to the conversation with viktor trigubevy, viktor, if you would evaluate these actions on the kupyansk and that's actually in this direction, in svatovsky there , well, in fact, this direction has always been so important for the russians, they want to recapture the estuary there and they also want to recapture kupyansk. well, that's understandable

, but hmm, is it more of an attempt now, really eh for the ukrainian army to throw more forces there, or are they once again engaged in the fact that they are simply increasing their grouping there? on the other hand, they also need to show at least some real winner, because now they are doing with them what was described by the callsign marshal at the time, uh , they need to somehow break it, so in principle, for them, that direction is one of the few opportunities where you can really build something but on the other hand, it should be understood that for the ukrainians this direction is not a priority now. i mean the offensive in this direction is a priority, because actually , where? well, that is, on the territory of the russian

federation , we are advancing. well, it will actually clamp between uh, well, to create such a clint that by itself will clamp and is quite vulnerable to counterattacks , and that's why the ukrainians are holding the defense there, they're doing it perfectly, they're doing it with effects well, in principle , everything there is more or less according to plan well of course this is a war, but nevertheless there is nothing there that could cause any panic or any great fears, if of course the russians will not build something there very much, but something even the situation in bilhorod or not suggests to me that it will definitely not happen. did you evaluate whether the situation in the belgorod region should become such a hot trend again in general ? yes

, it would never be superfluous. the russian state cannot control a part of its own territory and tell at the same time that the whole word goes in advance with the approved plan, they will be changed, because we, someone might think that their goal is to surrender the russian territory up to and including that, therefore, in principle, everything is fine in belgorod oblast . if there will be more active, so it will also be a pipe. well, let's hope that this will also happen because, well, the possibility of complicating, let's say, the advance of the russians , refueling from the side of the shaft and how it would always be good for us the result of these actions if he succeeded a-a come on, we still have a couple of minutes here, er, can you somehow very descriptively say what the russians are trying to do now regarding the er shelling, which, you see, continues in

principle, so shaheda are flying somewhere even there they flew to lviv after such a long break , eh. well, i mean, i would say that such shelling of our far rears , well, in principle, does not stop. although it is possible there , now the daggers are not flying as thick as they were a few days ago, or a few weeks ago flew but nevertheless, well, it continues well, listen to it very simply, the more it was, the more it covers the horse langres of terrorism, the more help it brings down the russian planes that drop the cable over the zaporizhia region, that is, it is a normal tactic of terrorists, they took kyiv hostage, they beat on e- actually agglomerations with living areas in the center of the country so that air defense could not concentrate on direct military work in those directions that are

a priority for the ukrainian counteroffensive in principle, well, what do you expect, the russians are now actively using all kinds of terrorist tactics. i was even a little surprised when i saw how they turned the t-55 into a noble car, and then they let it into ukrainian positions. to plant it in order to completely repeat the best experience of the gila. well , what else do you want from them? the stop, that is, the cover of the anti-aircraft defense just along the border in order to stop at these approaches that are quite far from the e-e rear areas. well, this is of course like that.

we don't have them for a long time. thank you, viktor trigubova, a major landslide. my colleague is a journalist. he is a public politician. and then we will have news on the espresso tv channel in just a few seconds. well, we will continue to watch and wait for good news, but you understand that you don't need to expect that it will all happen very quickly, you need to understand that after all, it's more like the summer of last year , when everything will go well, it will go smoothly, but it will be and welcome iryna kovalya, who will tell you the news. thank you olya, what's up literally in a moment about aid to ukraine and also about what the head of our ukrainian intelligence says about
