[000:00:00;00] is advancing and who repels the offensive, this is what is called the interception of the initiative, we are attacking, and we are attacking along a very wide front, that is, practically from the point where before , until the dam was blown up, there was the shore of the kakhov reservoir and somewhere approximately all the way to the city of donetsk, that is, in fact, along this whole on a wide front we attack all the time every day and almost every day some of the positions that were hostile and at the end of the day they become ours well, in fact, in short, who cares about the details, usually the opposite is the case that those that were hostile in the evening become ours in the morning. a lot now we attack precisely at night, well but but but but but it happens differently there, actually, and all this time the russians are reacting to what we are doing, that is, they are very fierce, i would say, and unfortunately

, they are trying to repel our attack quite effectively, but it is they who are repelling our offensive on the front a couple of hundred kilometers away and not the other way around . this is what is said that the initiative is now ours , that is, it has been intercepted, that is clear, but as for the second part of your question, does this mean that we need to actually prepare for acceleration of de-occupation well, i am always a supporter of not underestimating the enemy, and i apologize for the informal vocabulary. don't talk about it. of course, i have a certain, let's say, cautious optimism and very high hopes and expectations , but no one gave us guarantees , this is necessary. i had to comment on things. well, in my opinion , it's just extremely unprofessional and unethical. actually, this comment was made by some professor of political science at harvard or someone from the american

professions in political science that you see, i took a calculator and calculated that at this rate of progress we will liberate crimea in 16 years, well, we are just silent about ethics, but as for professionalism, people believe that there is a linear rate of progress in war, that is, exactly in a day and this is absolutely not the case, there are three enemy lines of defense, and further behind them there is an emptiness, and accordingly, if we break through these three lines of defense , then it will go on with an iron speed faster than the logical express of noise. we are currently at the stage when we

methodically and consistently , and i would say very competently, analyze the first line of defense of the enemy. not to break through these three lines somewhere in one city , namely first to eliminate the first line of defense completely precisely on a wide front of a couple of hundred kilometers and then to approach their second line of defense on the same wide front well, actually, when will we get to this second line of their defense? i think that this is a question of two or three weeks, and this is not a quote. and zaarestovych is simple . well, let's say, rather, from experience. knocking out those defenders that were left in them, oh, oh, but again, this is, when the assumption begins, these are already very reliable things. so, when we go to this second line of defense of theirs, then there was a lot that will become clearer than now, then

, it will become much clearer, for example at that time, they still have reserves that can be transferred from point to point and close the holes, but at the moment they have them, but we are destroying a lot of them right now in the course of work on the first line . and about mining, the solid position of the russian forces, how dangerous is it, in order for this first line of defense, which you say is completely broken or one has no relation to the other, has an absolutely direct relationship, we have to overcome hundreds of kilometers of mined fields, this is extremely it is a difficult task, and again here we have to understand that we have to overcome them under fire. that is, it is not an option that we first took the field for ourselves and demined it, and then went to fight on it.

well, the world hasn't seen minefields on such a scale since the second world war , that's just, there's never been such a thing, and that 's one of the two key problems of our offensive , the second key, that's one key problem - that 's how many they nominated there. by the way they continue to mine, they just stupidly cover everything with mines. and this is one of the two key problems, and the second key problem is aviation. the fact is that from the army of our allies, with all due respect to them, no one has ever conducted major offensive operations on land without having absolute superiority in the air, we have the exact opposite situation. we are inclined to somehow attack despite the fact that the enemy has an advantage in the air of about 10 times, this is generally what is considered impossible in theory, but our boys and girls are doing it now, here they are now they are doing something that no nato army has signed up for, well, well, actually, mines and aviation over the enemy's head are two key

problems that actually complicate our offensive , but even in these conditions, the advance is still very serious, well, considering the news that the general staff officially gives if we are talking about the liberation of the occupied territories on the left bank, how densely and abundantly are the russian military concentrated there, at least from this information that is in the public domain and it will be difficult to de-occupy the left bank of the kherson oblast, in particular, because telegram channels of various information simply write, while there are no official confirmations. we cannot say whether the ukrainian military has tried to enter there somewhere, but they have not tried , although i say that there is a lot of remote data. how do you think the russian military leadership is doing a stake on the left bank and actually it will be ready to defend the captured territories, since what i will say now is well known to the russians, so i will allow myself to say more than officially it is recognized all the more now that i have friends, yes, now i have friends

over there on the left bank, comrades in arms, yes, usually in the 14th year , some yes, and in fact, it’s not a secret, by and large, it’s not a secret that we were there all the time, we worked there all the time our subversive investigation groups there, our forces, special recuperation there, what do we feel? well, somewhere like our ancestors once upon a time, when the cossacks felt like they were there in the banks of the dnieper, when they were hiding there on seagulls from the turks, they were based on the islands, so exactly the same thing happened again this the cossacks are at war there again seagulls were controlled all this time, all winter, in particular, from the moment we released it, i remember that it was the beginning of november there, so actually from the moment we entered kherson, in fact , on the following days, the first as if they were already on the left bank, and on the kinburn spit, uh, they disembarked even before kherson was liberated, that is, there is constant work there at the moment, uh, there are quite a few of our people on that bank , and there are already such mini bridgeheads, this is something that did not exist, let's say,

a month ago mode exactly partisan raids, but partisan raids were so dense that it was possible to say that in fact the orcs did not control it all together , but unfortunately they also moved there . simply, that is, it was exactly a gray zone where we and they performed their combat tasks and regularly they met like this, but at the moment there are fewer orcs there because they drowned themselves, so little did the actual enemy command know about the undermining of the dam that the units stationed along the shore simply did not convey this information to them. they said to retreat, as a result, they were so normal, so flooded, and they left . by the way, there was a lot of flooded equipment, and accordingly, when they were running away from the water , then as soon as the water began to recede, ours were the first there, not them, so they are already there even popular ones, but there is one very important point, unfortunately, when you look at the map, it looks like this : the water has gone

, the land has appeared . first of all, people fight, special forces, paratroopers there and so on, but even wheeled heavy equipment will not pass through the swamp. heavy equipment there and, accordingly, with the entry into the rear of these three lines of defense, then they would not have had to be breached at all, but eh, well, at the moment of blowing up the dam, i completely solved the question of why the orcs blew it up they committed this huge crime just for the sake of one thing, so that we could not transfer heavy equipment to the left bank . well, actually, this is the story, that is, ours are fighting there and will continue to fight, but it is precisely in the regime

of mainly subversive groups. well , unfortunately, not light infantry moreover, evgeny, you already mentioned today about the russian aviation in particular, and the fighters of the anti-aircraft missile artillery division of the mountain assault brigade shot down a russian su-25 with the help of manpads and eyes, but if we evaluate the russian aviation, which has an obvious advantage on the front, to what extent is this strike, at least i don't know, it is reputable, at least in terms of russian aviation, nothing new has happened in terms of reputation , to put it mildly, this is not the first dry truck to be shot down. over the donbass in the spring of last year and since then, this has not been repeated many times, not even the needles were actually done to it , it is not reputational, but the loss of each plane is significant , even for muscovites, non-wagon planes, that is, in ours . they are literally counted in pieces. unfortunately they are counted in tens, but in any case

, sorry, not in thousands , that is, the loss of each plane is tens of millions of dollars . in those cases when the crew either dies or is captured by us, then every time it is a very big blow in this sense . by the way, we should thank the beautiful woman . he did a good job. if six, one , six units e-e of aviation equipment and practically, practically all the crews were killed, well, it’s a pity that they didn’t continue this practice, one more question . it will concern the direction of bakhmut . today, we had an activation from this direction, mr. yaroslavsky, a military man, he says that the bolt is actually already take control of the klschivka salon in the south of bakhmut, the isolated streets of bakhmut itself, eh , the russian military is retreating , how do you think the russian forces will try to hold bakhmut and do they understand

the inability to resist western weapons and the desire of the ukrainian military deo to buy territories, by the way, with all due respect to western weapons, but where a in bahmut is definitely not the key, uh, in bahmut, very close contact battles, street fights, and here the key thing is the people, how motivated are they , plus or they are at least trained for something, and that's the personal factor. it plays a much bigger role than any fashions , that's 100% in street fights. yes, yes, er , i think that since it means that we take kuma ticks, well, god forbid that there should still be perfect tense that we will take it further, this is a question of the tip. if we take the tip of the tick from one side and the tip from the other , well, in fact, they will have to leave in exactly the same way, it was in the opposite

direction. for a tick well, in principle, it became a matter of time when we will have to withdraw for now if we take back these key points, it became a matter of time how long how long will they remain under threat for the semi-circle and when, after all, to decide draw a line, mr. yevgeny, thank you, but i wanted to catch you up on our thoughts, you finished yourself, yevhen, some expert-internationalist, scientist, veteran of the battalion , aidar, about the situation at the front, about the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine, about what reserves the russian forces have, and whether they are ready to defend the captured territories we talked about all this on the air svoboda ranok, we go further on the air in kramatorsk, they finished dismantling the cafe destroyed by a missile attack

by russian troops. 12 people were killed in the city, including three children, six dozen of them were wounded, one child. i would like to remind you that russian forces shelled the center of kramatorsk two days ago, on june 27, around 8:00 p.m., an iskander-type rocket hit a food establishment where people were staying in god's minutes the damaged coffee shops and 32 multi-apartment residential buildings provided their residents with places for resettlement and evacuation, said the head of the donetsk regional military

administration, pavlo kyrylenko, the same cafe to eyewitnesses say that very, very many people visited the missile strike. well, to be honest, this is very, very bad and very cynical , but i am not surprised that it flew here, that is, you know some of those, there is one island where you can even come with my brothers and have lunch there, drink some delicious coffee well, i myself sat there more than once and the cranial brain injury is open, that is, the cranial cavity went into the moscow substance. i did not have time to consider, that is, if i had to act more, i see what is there. in condition very deeply suppressed consciousness. that is, she snored and even after i carried out my manipulations, i heard a moan of pain from her, which in principle is a good sign for me that she moaned, because before that she only snored , meanwhile the security service of ukraine reported the arrest of the fire adjuster by him turned out to be an employee of a local gas transport

company with investigative greens. previously, he was remotely recruited by a russian game, and during a full-scale invasion, so to speak, activated on a video posted by ukrainian sbu, a man admits that on june 27 at 5:00 p.m. after work, he went to a cafe and videotaped it and the visitors . in addition, he recorded cars parked nearby and sent the same video to a person and to the so-called curatorship in occupied donetsk, according to the detainee, after a few hours, the culprits found out about the rocket attack on the same cafe that he photographed for the arrest of the alleged adjuster of the attack on kramatorsk, and the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi reacted . treason, in addition, he may face life imprisonment, meanwhile, the world reacted to the rocket attack on the cafe in kramatorsk , in particular, the high representative of the eu for foreign affairs and security policy, jose borel, called the rocket attack another demonstration of terror, and the state department called it confirmation that russia continues

the escalation of its aggressive war against ukraine, at the same time russia denies the attack on civilian infrastructure , putin's press secretary dmytro piskov reported on the english edition of tas piskov again repeated that all the strikes inflicted by the russian forces are allegedly related exclusively to the military infrastructure. about the situation in kramatorsk , as of this morning, we will ask serhii horbatenko, this is the correspondent of the donbass reality project of radio freedom. i congratulate you, serhii. good morning, the rescue operation in kramatorsk has been completed, they say, as of now is it possible that there will be any changes regarding the dead and injured? and what is known in general , as of now, there are no changes. indeed, the operation has ended. unfortunately, 12 dead and uh, uh , wounded, 65 uh, actually in the cafe, 61 wounded and in another micro-district, where four more wounded civilians also flew from the airframe almost at the same time, there were destroyed for

five dozen destroyed and damaged for fifty private houses, well, actually the whole situation kramatorsk still cannot get over the shock because really all the inhabitants of the city also, for a long time before the invasion, foreigners and residents of all ukraine knew this place, some ate there, some just met, resolved their affairs, so this tragedy became a real shock for the city, and i know that today they have to hide two 14-year-old sisters who died in this cafe, which russian propagandists called the command post of one of the brigades of the armed forces of ukraine, which could be the command post of the girls, and let me remind you that an eight-month-old baby was injured there , fortunately, nothing is in danger, but oh well just a horror serhiy, how did this night in kramatorsk, were there any additional

shelling possible, but the night passed peacefully. actually, i would like to say that since the time when the ukrainian military began to pass the occupiers on the northern and southern flanks bakhmut, life in kramatorsk has become much quieter. if earlier the occupiers literally bombarded the city with missiles, er, s-300 missiles, lately it has been quiet , very quiet, in fact, this silence has been strained , because the silence always explodes in the end with such tragedies, and the night passed peacefully and now there was a short-term air alarm and the whole city continues to live, and is it possible that there are any recommendations or instructions from the local authorities regarding the introduction of additional restrictions or prohibitions in the city due to the recent tragic events, er, i would like to address attention to the adjuster about whom you said uh. well, the security service noted that

one of the tasks of this adjuster was actually fixing the places of mass gathering of people. in addition to this popular cafe in kramatorsk, there are other places where a lot of people gather and they know everyone well , by the way at the moment , there were no restrictions, no recommendations, what the officials constantly emphasized was the evacuation, they are constantly urging people to evacuate, the evacuation from kramatorsk is ongoing now, and in general , there are many local kramatorsk people who i understand that the numbers may be difficult to name, but according to the estimates of local authorities, volunteer activists, what is the possible number as a percentage of what was before? well, as far as i can judge from my own observations, about half of the number that was before the full-scale invasion. i know that there are flows in both directions, that is, people are constantly leaving here. and after such tragedies, i know that

the number of people who want to evacuate is increasing , and at the same time, i know that people are returning, people who could not find housing they could not find a job or a source of income somewhere in other regions of ukraine, they continue to return to kramatorsk. and in particular, yesterday when i was in the private sector where the second scandir arrived. in general, in the donetsk region , krasnohorivka kostyantynivka of the mariinsky community in avdiivka are under fire , there are also isolated shellings, this is the data from the head of donetsk, as of yesterday from kyrylenk , how can you estimate the extent of the shelling the donetsk region is more frequent, but it may have decreased due to the active advance of the armed forces of ukraine. what does the general staff say about and in general compliance with the situation on the front? i already said that with the advance of ukrainian troops near bakhmut, they decreased significantly.

slavic kramatorsk and druzhkivka and as for kostiantynivka, which is located closest to bakhmut, well, at least today the military administration of kostiantynivka noted that the night passed peacefully and there was no no reports of destruction or shelling or wounded. this is very good, but kostyantynivka comes under fire almost every day, and i know that on the very day when two of the kanders flew into kramatorsk, kostyantynivka was also heavily shelled, and russian shells flew at civilian houses . the most difficult is that, unfortunately, traditional points of tension such as avdiivka, well, bakhmut, the limansky direction , the shelling there continues constantly and they do not decrease. thank you very much serhiy for this activation take care, serhiy horbatenko, donbass correspondent of the radio svoboda reality project, about the situation in kramatorsk, where i will remind you that the rescue operation

ended as a result of a hit by russian forces in the city , 12 people died, more than six dozen were injured in rostov-on- don, russia, the so-called trials of ukrainian the prisoners of war of the azov battalion are 22 ukrainians, including eight women, as reported by the russian mass media , and the specific plot of the accusation is not disclosed, however, according to the newspaper, the commissar the defenders of azov steel are accused of involvement in a terrorist organization and an attempt to forcibly seize power in the occupied part of donetsk region, they face from 15 years to life imprisonment , the sushchei tedpress agency reports. these so-called trials in russia violate the norms of international law, the court of russia openly judges the ukrainian military who performed their military duty, and this is a direct violation of the geneva conventions and the rome statute. well, it is worth saying that many relatives

of azov prisoners who are currently being tried in rostov for two months did not know anything about the fate of their loved ones, some of them were considered dead or missing this is what happened to andriy irkha, this man turned to radio svoboda and said that he is the son of one of the captured azov residents and that he saw and recognized his father oleksandr irkha in the footage from the court hearings in rostov in connection with my father was gone for more than a year, my colleague vlad and the laser talked to andrii about his story, and actually her communication , see further my name is irkha andrii, and recently , on june 14, at a court hearing in rostov, i saw my father, he is a former serviceman of the azov regiment, as he is now is on the bench of the episodic in the last time we saw him in the filtering camp in the village of basimene - this was near mariupol, there was a cleanup of the city and all the men were taken

there for filtering such intentions and weeded out everyone who had anything to do with the regiment azov was transferred to the armed forces and so on. we did not think that everything would happen like this. we thought that mariupol was fortified. we did not think that kherson would be taken so quickly. full entourage, then it was already late to leave, because the photo is nowhere to go from the west there. the battles were already raging and this well, luckily, it hurts, and we all lived near the ilyich plant, and if i'm not mistaken, the 501st battalion of marines and there separately already surrendered as prisoners and they just came out in

the village where we lived, and when the orcs came and gathered everyone to the village , why was this done, in order to filter out the military from the civilians? first they took me, then he was released, and i was released. no, there were no talkies, and he was also taken by a person he knew. he was also detained for the same reason, but he was released after 11 months . and he said that he saw his father in donetsk his location in the pre-trial detention center as of november 22nd, it was the donetsk season. well, once again there was such an information gap. for six months, there was no information about him. on the 14th , i saw him at a meeting in rostov. on the one hand, this is very good news that he is alive. although i know where he is, and on the other hand, it is very

painful and difficult. well, i know that he is suffering there, what a torment it is, and i cannot convey it. it is very difficult, in general, he is a former military man from 2015 to 2020, he served in a separate special forces unit in azov but at the time of the full-scale war, he was already a civilian, he was engaged in the second sphere and worked in an ordinary civilian position , and i learned from the news and among other people that he is not the only one in such a situation, that there are still people who were already civilians at the time of the full-scale war, i appealed first to the red cross, well, they didn't help me much, they only advised me to contact the nearest center of the ministry of internal affairs to file a statement , well, that is, no action at all, then i turned to the coordination headquarters, they accepted the information there

and i turned to the national information bureau for prisoners yes yes confirmation in captivity it was confirmed that he is there in polo but there was no progress if no one called me no one could find him and that's only when he found it himself well where did he see it and started again to contact, there is another guy there, he is a classmate of my friend , also from mariupol, we talked with him literally maybe a week ago, and he told me that his acquaintance is also there, that is, i recognized two people there, my father and another guy as human rights defenders say that there is generally such a practice is minimal, but there is a practice that after they are convicted, then some of them go for exchange, there were such people whom the so-called dpr awarded the death penalty to, but after that they were still exchanged, i.e. the nadiyas are

only for exchange and a few there are still a few minutes left. it may even be a few seconds before this broadcast ends, so i suggest you subscribe to radio svoboda's youtube channel and share this video with your friends, because, in particular, those who were on the air today, we understand, we can understand at least that the armed forces of ukraine will have certain news from the bakhmut direction, in particular, if you did not hear the activation of the military from the front line, i suggest you watch this broadcast again at the very beginning, and we had one of the ukrainian defenders on the turn-on, who informed about the situation in the bakhmut area , as well as our guest actually, a veteran of the battalion , aidar yevhen, a wild political scientist, an internationalist , a person whom many people also know, spoke in general about the situation at the front and what to wait next is the freedom of the morning traditionally these couples see you and i every day see you tomorrow at 9:00 take care and be calm

we wish you a good day the 491st day of the full-scale war between russia and ukraine continues for your attention news on espresso in angelika's studio a season and free men 45-48 and 57 years old were killed last day in kharkiv oblast, russians shelled the village of vovchanski khutory, the head of the regional military administration oleg synogubov said, and today after midnight the occupiers launched
