informed means armed see economy news project with andriy yanitsky on weekdays at 8:10 on espresso so i'm olga lentsa war chronicles we talk with ivan krychevskyi military expert defect express and let's talk about bakhmut the ukrainian military rejected the occupiers under bakhmut of the donetsk region e-e in and are fighting in seven directions there, in the area of ​​seven, to be more precise , in populated areas in the process , the spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reported today that they are now entrenched in these directions. and it must be said that the berries were lost in january in very heavy battles, and these are, in principle, two important directions . and in the south, they cleared the shelves of the enemy along the siverskyi donets canal - this is along the kurdyumivka ozeryanivka line, and today a video also appeared where the 28th mechanized brigade

the names of the knights of the winter campaign showed how they raise the flag on the kordyum embankment. so, ivan, tell me, actually, in view of these movements, when we can say that well, there are such, you know, directly, decisive a turning point in our favor and literally we, well, after all, it will be possible to say that we are getting closer to the release of bahmut after all , we went there and there to offensive actions and not here here, by the way, even to say that you are not just there where the seeds of directions so that in fact we we are advancing, well, our troops are advancing exactly along the same line of the front that the russian invaders tried to advance in the winter of this year, here, of course, it is not the first one, is it worth saying that the conditions of discharge in the bakhmut

direction are for our troops, well, if the same difficult as in the south well, because even starting from the official comments that, unfortunately, the occupiers use, including those fortifications precisely in the direction of bakhmut, in the winter city, and nearby well, there where our troops built their time and were forced under pressure the enemies leave and it turns out that now we have to smoke the occupiers out of there by drinking, well , to begin with, it is worth clarifying why such a breadth of actions on the front was taken. what kind of city is it so slow? yes, if we were to reverse the order in which the occupiers were advancing. yes, we have to liberate bakhmut in may with a team of ground troops and hunting troops. as in particular, the commander of the troops in this direction indicated that the goal of our troops is to encircle the occupiers in bakhmut , that is, first to surround the city and destroy it with the occupiers, to destroy the occupiers themselves, only then can we talk about liberation, accordingly , here we should be prepared for the fact that this

campaign will obviously last several weeks and it is possible that there are some really psychologically important stories, how is it a borkhivka, a berry, a crossing to the other side of the channel, this is siverskyi, donetsk donbas, donetsk donbas , well, it will be in some way, after all, an important point, which may be in some way, you know, was psychologically bad, first of all, it will help our troops to simplify the task of launching hostilities well , because if there are during such a protracted long-term company psychologically important victories well , it will somehow obviously play a positive role prospects for unfortunately, we simply do not have objective data that would allow us to skip how quickly the russian troops there are exhausted in what by the way, the fact arises that if the russians launch their assault troops there, it looks difficult well, because the russian doctrine, it is the airborne assault troops, not the air , well, the airborne assault troops, probably they are those troops , not only there, they are so much higher than

us in motorized rifle units, the level of training , but also the presence of this heavy weaponry there a priori, tanks should be self-propelled guns, and the same sun saws are sold, obviously, heavy artillery is sold there. the type of these self-propelled guns, tulip, is also sold unfortunately. how quickly these troops are exhausted there , they are losing their manpower. it acquires the character of a psychological confrontation, so it is obvious that the one who will be charged for a longer confrontation will win here, and it looks like our troops now not only have the initiative, they intend to to the russians, add questions only within the time limits and 300 at a time, obviously there will still be a few more weeks that will, well, take away resources from us konstantin denisov is a fighter legion of individuals - freedom e congratulations mr. konstantin e-e glory to ukraine and to you i congratulate your viewers glory to the heroes

we we will win. well, our colleagues and you are there. the legion of freedom is also fighting in the bakhmut direction and now, as far as i know, in the zaporizhia region. what can you say? what is the special feature of the battles in the zaporizhia region , because you already have experience? literally, these are the events, a little bit, not specifically, since february 24, what features do you see on this battlefield? well, i will tell you only about those areas where our guys are standing directly , because this is not the general picture, my words , the general picture is only at the general staff , which the legion of freedom completely trusts the occupiers, the peculiarity is that the occupiers have not wasted time since february 24, and here they dug in , dug in multi-layered, various intricate eyes, all their engineering fortifications

, they hit a bunch of minefields, and they continue continue to mine, and by the way, we already had the opportunity to track their interception a couple of times, they place very high hopes precisely on the eyes of all mines blocking their er structures er and their creativity in order to er stop the movement and advance of our brothers, in particular on to the zaporizhzhia direction, and unfortunately it must be said that these are their mini barrier fields and other structures, they cause great harm to our boys during hostilities. in certain areas or positions, and by the way, with your colleagues, last year i told directly for our freedmen who are in

the sapper units on the however, what hard work they have and what sometimes ingenious traps the russians set their eyes on all engineering sapper units and units on the way of our guys, this is probably the biggest feature, frantic defense and such a large and confusing number of mines, blocking various fortifications, and so on, and can we say that our troops have already advanced, well, at least from that what well specifically in your section of the front did they advance close to the first line there or did they pass the first line of defense or did they pass the first line of defense? so far it is not possible to say that, look at the advance, we were literally talking last night, we have an uncle who is already in the unit he asked not

to make a socialist competition from the counterattack . everything is given at a very high price because it was created by the russians, very competent, it happens that our guys occupy certain trenches literally as if the russians come out from under the ground and a shooting battle begins right there because there are very serious personnel units with serious combat experience, if you would estimate in order for these offensive actions to be more successful , well, all the needs that our guys have are being covered, i'm saying here it

's just necessary for the higher military command. i think that he has plans, the general vision of us we will carry out the tasks that i will set for us, of course there are some point problems but for that we have public on facebook where we gather for one or another need but in general there is a higher military command, it is phonogrammatic, it is experienced, we trust it and will carry out its tasks the only thing i would like, if in terms of the general situation in general, and that let's just say that it does not depend on us yes, i would like to appeal to the residents of the zaporizhzhia region if you see the movement of our equipment , please do not film it and do not post any on the networks. this morning i saw how they filmed the movement of our equipment, all the naked operators, woe to the directors, they simply do not understand what any video posted by them can lead to, another calls for

information hygiene, tell me, and if you evaluate the general situation, is there parity, for example, eh well, now, in the artillery in counter-battery combat, at least in this segment. what can you say in the artillery , the russians have no parity. oblast destroyed five ammunition warehouses, and in particular, it seems yesterday or the day before yesterday, they knocked down a heavy mortar from which the russians were constantly shelling, but still they have very large stocks and they keep and it happens that well, i 'll just give you examples, for example, one of our pick-up trucks or bmpeshkoi is fired upon and of all that they are chasing around the field and

shelling with drones, they cannot catch them, this indicates that they have quite substantial artillery reserves, they can, for now, say unlimited well, not unlimited, but quite powerfully shelling our positions, the most terrible thing is that they are shelling civilian infrastructure. i have already mentioned that they bombed a number of communities there, hospitals, a bread factory, a bus station, a market, these are not military objects , tell me, well, in general, this is the advance that is there, they are talking about some settlements in general, these points people physically exist there. well, the most famous one is the settlement of pyatikhatky, liberated by our brothers . there are still a few civilians there, or they are sitting there. it is difficult for me to say, because when we were, for example, in certain settlements points and always campaigned directly, we units of people to leave, people have different

motivations why they stay , but as we see, those who stay receive constant attacks from enemy artillery. konstantin denisov, for the eu of the freedom legion of the zaporozhye region, we wish them success in this direction , because these are really very difficult offensive battles . well, actually, ivan krychevskyi continues to talk to us about ivany eh hmm there was also a report from the zaporizhzhia direction that the defense forces of ukraine are managing to advance, there were even reports from various of these ot if we can show you literally briefly this morning from one direction, it is the 47th brigade, and the sergeant of this brigade recorded the following well, a short appeal and

of the report let's see it also the extreme position we took yesterday there was a very small trench but we had to spend the whole night there defending it well to move on now now literally in 5 minutes we are going to the next storm on we will consider the following positions, they do not know, we will do everything very, very secretly, we will preach to them in two groups. so, somewhere god will surprise us . in fact, during the last week , something has happened since the last transfer.

well, this is the direction that the previous fighter was talking about, and in addition , there were several bribes of such, well, different promotions, and what could you, ivan, say , that is, now what do we have, as if they appeared there are such reports that there are russians in some places, in addition to the fact that they are there. well, after all, they were forced to retreat, they were also forced to introduce , well, to lead additional troops, but it’s not entirely clear, that is, what these additional troops are and what this means in general. can you explain? with your permission, i'll start here, what kind of theses if there is already an official figure of 130 square kilometers liberated there

during these two, well, almost three weeks of a counteroffensive , you know, if you were to take it, you would simply compare what 130 km were leveled by our troops for two weeks well, compare what the occupiers have already been there for the third month, they cannot take bakhmut, an area of ​​42 km, well, you know, i think it is very good if you take these comparisons, it would remove the question of where i'm promotion, promotion is many times more effective reserve rap about what if in our resource base is much smaller than in the army of fish, in fact, if we talk about the issue of sports, well, hmm, i personally have a certain one of the same 13 unique, because if on the one hand there are a lot of such joyful reports about the destruction of the occupiers on on the other hand , it seems that according to the results of last week

, the occupiers increased the average fire from 38,000 dollars to 45,000 charges per day. even not only some standard 22 152 mm table-top systems, unfortunately, there are also russian 2.7 pion systems, which are 203 mm large-caliber mortars. mind the 240 mm tulip, they are not talking about the tornado system, well, more precisely, the tornado s and guided projectiles that can reach zaporizhzhia, not that it is the first position on the front, but what concerns the troops that are already being introduced there, well, from the reserves from the third line. well, on it's a pity, still, first of all, the personnel troops were not formed from those mobilized there last fall, if you look even at the fragmentary data that is publicly available, which is published on our website, the personnel of the units that are there, including those that tried to take kyiv and

uh, they distinguished themselves there with war crimes. that is, unfortunately, people know how to fight, uh, why is ours there, it is emphasized that what, how , in fact, it is beyond the positive fact that the russians began to tighten the reserve even with the third line of defense, not to mention the second well, judging by everything, this is how i personally assume that our military command is reading right now , the russians are in a bad place, these firemen are born with the ability to fence or such an intensive fortification, they try to cling to every one there, everyone who does not have a house of guests just right hope that while there our troops actually still have a minimum of 20-30 kilometers, maybe 40, in fact from the first line of certification, so that our troops will exhaust themselves there as much as possible and, accordingly, when according to the enemy's design, when the bolt will approach this first line of defense. well, so that our troops don't bother with all these mounts, but obviously our military team is building a mirror strategy that is the first, well, in the indian one , to receive the platification, accordingly

, if the reserves of not even the second have already gone into battle line, and the third one. this one was set as a goal to wear out the russians so that they would not have troops to hold all these lines of fortification. well , maybe it is achieved. by the way , it concerns artillery. well, because anti-artillery here, i think there may also be a dissonance because , well, there are the popular genre is to count exactly how many artillery units were fired in a week, here, after all, it is worth starting from another indicator, how many artillery units were destroyed by output , why is it important to count yourself as artillery units, because in theory, well, let’s do it objectively, somehow the russians can still dismantle part of it because even according to theirs it was removed . well, we have 5% of all artillery that was in storage, even if with the amendment that it is disposable and after repair it is not repaired, but simply , well, it is disassembled.

the russians have active gunners who, first of all, know how to adjust firing in real time with pilots, they know how to spend ammunition correctly, and even more importantly, they know how to move very quickly from position to position without using this system in particular moves that are dug there behind the fortification using the system of these field depots of ammunition that are destroyed there , according to what exactly it is important to measure the success of our troops by the destroyed artillery units and stockpile ammunition because this is exactly what most interestingly says about the fact that the tempo of the importance of artillery is only the main thing first of all, to destroy the russian artillerymen who literally fly into the air because, by the way, if the brothers react together, well, count according to the costs indicated by the general staff well, judging by everything, especially when there are some such good numbers starting there at the level of 900-1000 killed occupiers per day. well, judging by everything , the most risky ones right now. well , the risky military specialty for

the occupiers is the artilleryman, but because they explode together with their shells and artillery . so far history so it looks in principle very good that our troops were able to e -e level the front line somewhat reduce it accordingly advance quite significantly that these troops are literally the last reserves there, russia is absolutely not possible, this is not the case and literally we have a minute for you to say a short such a very thing because the russians are actively conducting offensives there in the area of ​​avdiyivka maryanka, especially in the area of ​​maryanka победы, they are trying to iron themselves out there. among the russian public, there is such a conversation that it seems like there, uh, this offensive from that side can create problems for ukrainian military strikes, how much is it

like that, literally half a minute, they are nothing, i rather supported my morale and did not they have more today, the maximum task that they can perform now is simply to distract the attention of our command, our troops in that area well, because, well, in some ways it is so effective, but for now we have everything involved in the south, to try to divert our resources in the east, and so that about ugledar, well, they can't even dream yet, let's record at the same time that the occupiers, in principle, refused to buy the donetsk region , except for tactical level actions. thank you, this is ivan kyrychevskiy, a military expert defense-express thank you for participating in our program and join our meetings , which we have and you can find details on our youtube broadcasts on our website, see this week in the program judicial control with tatyana shustrova, trials for billions for the army

as a tender mafia is winning back eggs for uah 17 , they filed 16 lawsuits for each position and whether the ministry of defense will be able to defend fair and transparent bidding in the courts. i welcome the first appeal. war, our defenders are heroically holding the defense for the second year, repulsing the enemy and returning the territories occupied by the rashtists under control and doing this under extremely difficult conditions and not only because of the enemy, but because of our fellow citizens who decided to undermine the state's defense capability and leave the army without food. having lost the opportunity to sell an army of eggs to 17 companies , the monopolists initiated a series of lawsuits

to cancel fair and open bidding as suspended tender gates through the courts are trying to return to multibillion-dollar schemes and continue to profit from the ukrainian army, we will tell you today, but first, to the news, ukraine has fully fulfilled two of the seven conditions necessary for the start of negotiations on membership in the european union, the first of which concerns the judicial authorities, this is stated in the oral interim assessment of the european commission regarding ukraine's implementation of candidate recommendations for eu accession, according to the european commission, ukraine has made good progress in the reform of the constitutional court and should now focus on making amendments to the procedure for selecting

judges of the constitutional court in accordance with the recommendation of the venice commission president volodymyr zelenskyi announced the strengthening of criminal liability for corruption in judicial authorities the need for changes was approved at a meeting of the national security and defense council to strengthen criminal liability for corruption offenses in the sphere of justice and to it was felt from you to 15 years with the confiscation of property and that it applied to those who demand money and who takes money, who keeps this system of corruption on everyone, the national security and defense council also supported the re-examination of supreme court judges, let's remind you that recently nabu and sab exposed a large-scale corruption scheme in the supreme court regarding the receipt of illegal benefits by management and judges. in almost 3 million dollars in total, 18 servants

of themis appear in the scheme kyiv district administrative court has been in the spotlight in the last few weeks anti-corruption activists and volunteers, a significant number of cases currently being considered by the body relate to the procurement of the ministry of defense, the tender mafia, which used to supply the army with eggs for 17 hryvnias, literally pelts the judges with lawsuits in which they challenge fair and transparent tenders where other suppliers won and, having caught, licked the tenders in the first instance, they do not even think to give up further, they are storming themis already in the appeal, they have initiated dozens of lawsuits in order to preserve the opportunity to further master

the state billions of food procurement of the ministry of defense at twice or three times inflated prices at the beginning of the year shocked the whole country as in the height of the war the authorities were able to allow such wastefulness, the defense department at first rejected all accusations but already in may, the state audit service confirmed that there were abuses and overpayments, so the ministry of defense decided to return to open bidding through the prozoro system already 6 in june, for the first time during a full-scale war, these transparent tenders took place due to the influence of the scandal with eggs, 17 apples and 50 apples, he made his impression. the ministry understood that and him it is necessary to open up and become more transparent at the open tenders of the ministry of defense, various suppliers came, in particular, with much lower prices than the current ones, according to volunteers and members of the anti-corruption council at the ministry of defense , by giving up eggs for uah 17, the state must

save significantly on june 6 , the tenders were held according to calculations, if direct contracts are entered into with the winners, then at least 4 billion uah from 4 to 6 billion uah there will be savings on purchases with new companies, suppliers who won at tenders had already begun to sign contracts when suddenly on june 9 the cabinet received a strange letter from the minister of defense oleksiy reznikov offering to keep the old suppliers and , accordingly, the old inflated prices. to actually extend the possibility of concluding direct contracts until 2023, and this was perceived by many
