[000:00:00;00] from us, and we hit with exact aim, so there is actually no chance that the katsaps can allow themselves some free movement, and there is no such thing, in principle, in case of any detection of katsaps or some kind of katsap target or some uh-e traffic the installation becomes a priority target and fire is fired on it to destroy the impressions and mostly it is destroyed and there is very, very much confirmation of this and there is confirmation from the svoboda battalion of our successful actions to destroy their armored vehicles and artillery installations and their pig dogs of the staff and in other units, there are many video confirmations of how theirs and warehouses from bc are being destroyed, their there are some fortified areas, well, actually , katsaps katsaps now it’s hard to say what they understand there, but in fact the situation is very complicated and

very much for them and very, very critical , that's why i really hope that soon we will become witnesses of the who will be the witnesses and who will be the participants of how all these katsap rats will run away from the ship that is sinking that is sinking ship i mean their this er katsapsk not to the empire e p romano what are the advantages can you explain in bakhmut the control of the ukrainian forces over klichchevka will provide the top of the advantages in bakhmut i apologize for the question now you know the location and battles and this information that klichchevka well then it was already under control as if the armed forces of ukraine and then not in general, how important are the battles for these settlements and whether their control by them will give advantages in winning back bakhmut unequivocally yes, of course, these are the flanks, well, where is

the southern flank of bakhmut, eh, these are the dominant heights from them, er, pakhmut for our arty is like in the palm of your hand, and accordingly, if the katzap is there now , they cannot move, then, taking the dominant heights, they will be, er, so to speak, as in an operational environment, the area is completely open to fire , the area is completely open to fire, eh and eh e logistic routes and actually means and mechanisms in order to carry out some kind of all logistic or that provision, he will allow chewbacca, everything will become very , very complicated, and at the entrances , their e-e these e-e trucks of bc will simply burn and brings some provisions there and although er and even more than that, even the departure of the goats will be difficult, because when the goats leave the city of bakhmut, i am convinced that there are already very, very many fields, because the roads to the exit from the city will also be targeted and

there will be aimed fire on them , that is, control over the tick will lead to to the release of bahmut and full control over bahmut, i correctly understand the huge range of actions of ukrainian villages. and this is one of the mechanisms that will lead to this, it cannot be said that this is the only mechanism that will lead to bakhmut katsaps from bahmut will run, uh, this is one of the mechanisms, and there are many, many of them. unfortunately, i did not want to cook on the live air, as the katsaps also monitor our information space and can use it for their own purposes. but i assure you that preparations are underway and are underway preparation is not only in the southern direction , on the southern flank, preparations are being made, in principle, in the entire bakhmut direction. i thank you for joining and telling about the situation around bakhmut. this is really important for our viewers, who

actively comment on your speech in our on the air, roman konon, lieutenant of the freedom battalion of the national guard of ukraine, was a guest on our air, thank you, this is freedom in the morning. and then we talk about this in the occupied makiivka since 2014, and the explosions are burning and the oil depot in the occupied kyivsk of the 14th year, i clarify, and there we heard about the explosions the day before and now we hear about the burning of the oil depot and there is also a video showing damage to the ammunition depot of the russian army , the journalists of radio svoboda donbas have identified this place, we will tell about it in detail, and in the meantime, we must note that the explosion was heard in the occupied debaltseve and volnovas, we will tell all the details later and analyze the ukrainian counteroffensive, the non-public visit has become public volodymyr zelenskyi may visit bulgaria today , the minister of defense of the country confirmed the preparations for this visit, but he hopes that the leak of information will not interfere with this, what is the importance of ukraine's cooperation

and bulgaria, how have the relations between the countries changed recently, what military assistance can be provided as a result of this visit, we will talk further, be sure to subscribe to radio svoboda, we are on all social networks. and here on the radio svoboda channel, live streams about important events, like and set the bell so as not to miss important programs , the defense force of ukraine conducted counteroffensive operations on 5 areas of the front where they were successful and also launched missile strikes on russian this is stated in the report of the american institute for the study of war, experts claim that ukrainian forces are hitting the russian rear in order to disrupt their logistics and land lines of communication along the entire perimeter hostilities, in particular, yesterday evening, an oil depot caught fire in the occupied makiivka, local telegram channels reported that this happened as a result of shelling, the ukrainian armed forces were blamed for the shelling, the ukrainian side

has not yet commented on this, and the day before the start of the armed forces confirmed the damage to the ammunition depot of the same russian forces in the same makiivka the occupation authorities then talked about the damage to the hospital, school and private houses and how they focused attention on the fact that the armed forces were allegedly targeting civilian objects, but later a video of reconnaissance, which shows the moment of reconnaissance and the moment of the strike on the ammunition warehouse in makiivka, in this video it is seen how after the flight to one of the locations , a series of explosions begins, similar to the detonation of shells, journalists of radio svoboda projected donbas realities, they were able to identify this place according to the journalists , it is an unfinished neighborhood, a monolith namely , between the mine and city hospital number two. and it was there that the local telegram channels and the occupation authorities showed the alleged video with the alleged

consequences of the shelling of the hospital, if to follow on google maps, it is located 500 m from the ammunition warehouse where the ammunition detonation actually took place . in addition, the day before, explosions were also reported in the occupied debaltsevo and volnovas in donetsk region, the ssu headquarters reported that the defense forces of ukraine destroyed a military infrastructure facility of the russian forces on in the southern outskirts of debaltsevo. and the so-called mayor of the occupied volnovakha, kostyantyn zinchenko, announced an attack on the city's administration, as they wrote in the russian ria news about the actions of the defense forces of ukraine, we will talk with petro chernyk military expert colonel of the armed forces of ukraine welcome to our broadcast thank you for joining glory to ukraine glory to the heroes i want to quote analysts at the institute for the study of war who write that the defense forces launched a coordinated series of strikes aimed at degrading russian logistics and ground lines of communication along the entire

perimeter of hostilities and analysts write about five directions and about successes in some of them . tell us what can be analyzed - this is the kind of work carried out by ukrainian forces to exhaust the enemy's forces. that's how the definition forces of the enemy is now our best strategic initiative and this type of operation has been chosen correctly and rightly so far. it is very similar to the kherson operation . let me remind you that the kherson operation began in july last year and ended in november after more than three months of hard work and after the destruction of the antonov the bridge , more precisely, was badly damaged in such a way that it was no longer possible to carry anything on it, and gradually all logistics were cut off.

on the right bank of the dnieper, he is no longer sure that even in this operation there will be a moment of good will of the enemy, at least for the cock, because it is a man who fights, and a man needs endless resources, primarily technical and even water and food, and in this part , logistically, there is a firefight, that's what i would call it the tactics of the introduction are completely self . the destruction of the composition of the russian troops in the occupied makiivka, is it possible to say now how strong was the defeat for the russian forces? for example, the warehouses in makiivka were supplied from them . it is obvious and clear that any type of cotton wool of this kind is only welcome , emphasized by the others, you touched on this topic, that

blows to the depth of their logistical support and the degradation of their entire logistics node are only welcome and about which there are still known places of accumulation of russian manpower equipment, you can say eh well, actually, where does russia keep the most possible reserves of its reserves ? is this happening in the occupied territories , are such points known? of course they are known , but we will not go into their details , because against them, will definitely analyze our words and will take this into account in the further distribution of its forces and resources let everything happen as it should happen , we will speak exclusively on the fact of what has already happened when supplies in certain areas the front of the russian forces, they are cut off, and how in this sense does it continue to act. there , the russian army redirects its supply from other areas of the front, that is

, it weakens its defenses in other areas. that is how the enemy does not have so many forces and the means to fully hold the entire demarcation line , let me remind you that it is quite long, more than 1,200 km, if in some areas we show the result, then the enemy is forced to first remove manpower from other areas and strengthen one or another direction at the moment, this is such a strategic dynamic situation, and in terms of the correctness of the task of strikes, we have a serious advantage over the enemy. at the same time, we cannot cancel the number of them so much, mr. petro. and the ministry of defense is also talking about the price , the military is talking about heavy gods, and so on in known directions if we talk about the parity of forces , that is, in terms of weapons and manpower, then the russian side also has more support, or

is it actually getting closer? front to parity of forces in armaments in manpower, unfortunately, the enemy has an advantage primarily in artillery, it was so and will be so for some time, but in that part there is also a very good dynamic from our side , let's say in the month of june, the ukrainians destroyed 688 barrel artillery installations this is an incredibly large staff brigade - it is 72 installations, if we divide this number, it comes to almost 10 brigades, and this is the right direction. as for the production of projectiles per month

, they can produce up to 125,000 , this is a very high figure, the americans will reach 50,000 at best only by the end of august. it is called artillery parity, at the moment we are holding on solely due to the accuracy of the whole laying and the quality of the fight against smuggling, such institutions as a&pq 3g 6 4850 the russians do not have and cannot to be and the single vehicles from the zoo do not allow you to lay targets with high quality , but the quantity fights with the quality, that is why there is a relative line of fire balance , can you explain the strength of the defense? in the armed forces, there are heavy battles, this is also worth noting. and what is the strategic significance of the pincer, i will not talk about the key itself , which, again, does not give the enemy unnecessary information to think about what we should

understand in the bakhmut operation, which in fact is already successful for us, bakhmut fulfilled its strategic task in a difficult ten-month combat work, a lot of manpower and more or less combat-capable enemy equipment fell there took and said that there is such a phenomenon as the bahmut paradox, what does it consist of, when we fought for it, we had quite a dense , large and even more or less living residential building , in general, we had a building for what to expect the russians turned it all into rubble and put themselves in a shooting range, all the commanding heights are ours and we shoot this territory very well and with high quality. if we manage to create an operational or encirclement, it will be a colossal political and military defeat of the enemy. it would be very good if we could manage that contingent to capture

at least a few thousand people, and this could really be the starting point of what is called a cascade collapse of the defense. but at the same time, let's take our time and let our soldiers do their work slowly but efficiently. i will ask you one more the united states should comment on one piece of news already this week, as if they could make a decision on the transfer of cluster munitions to ukraine , european pravda writes about this, referring to the tv channel cbs news, and they were told this by unnamed american officials. tell me how cluster munitions can strengthen the armed forces. this is such an important moment , very important. i think that it is most likely about jbl bombs, er, 99gb 100, as it is called rock i2, this bomb has in its configuration 247 combat ele clients with armor problems somewhere up to 200 mm, it is like this

a small mini-projectile with a length of about 30 cm and a 5-meter radius has a communal tgram particle, and thus one bomb can cover an area up to a football field. with artillery ammunition for such equipment, it is very difficult and difficult work , of course, the english projectile is much more effective than such a small mini-element, but all the same, the equipment subject to such an effect will be, if not destroyed then the scalability of covering targets within the football field is also damaged. this is a lot. there are also cluster munitions in artillery equipment, so when a 150-mm projectile is loaded with the same combat elements, just in a smaller number , if a bomb is 247 elements, that is a lot , who can have ammunition from six to 12

, depending on the configuration, over a meter away from the target, these elements are arranged in a kind of fan and cover the scaled targets, this is a very serious help in terms of increasing the damage ratio planes, i thank you for your expert comment, petro chernyk, a military expert, a colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, or as a guest. freedom of the morning, thank you. the national guard has launched an official investigation in connection with the events that took place the day before in the shevchenkiv court of kyiv. this was reported by the ministry of internal affairs i would like to remind the people of ukraine that yesterday there were explosions in the courtroom.

an explosive object, probably home-made, there were two further explosions, the man tried to leave the court building, but the escort stopped him with a shot in the air, humenyuk was arrested in the toilet, the security forces began storming the courthouse, but the suspect threw an explosive at them , wounding two security officers, humenyuk himself blew himself up and died on instead , the police opened criminal proceedings, and during the official investigation that began in the national guard, they should check the correctness and actions of the national guard employees who actually humenyuk was escorted to the court premises, at the moment we do not understand where the device or toilet was in lviv, in the toilet room or in the hall. directly to the glory of his avenger, a citizen of the previous menu. he surrendered to everything that blew up on the explosive objects that were with him, there were more dead, there is no desire, two

employees of the operative-rautology corps the city of kyiv and life are not in danger and we will also give an assessment of the activities of our employees in our line. there may be different versions . maybe he had with him. we all know that he was walking with a backpack that he left directly with the temporary detention center, as well as how to access the room directly from the main place to the toilets of the tram building, it will also be all right, i will note that the deceased offender ivan humenyuk spent the last eight years in a pre-trial detention center , he was a defendant in the case during the clashes under by the verkhovna rada in august 2015, then he allegedly threw

a grenade into a crowd of people , as a result of which four national guardsmen were killed and more than 140 people were injured. in secret, however, information about this visit appeared the day before in both ukrainian and bulgarian mass media, sources in the ruling majority confirmed the visit to belgrade -bulgarian service of radio svoboda later bulgaria's minister of defense todorte tagaev has already confirmed the preparations for zelensky's visit. he stated that this visit is important for the country and regrets that the information was leaked to the media . the minister expressed hope that this will not prevent the arrival of the ukrainian president. zelensky was invited on behalf of the newly elected government, which was formed in june, and with whom. will meet the ukrainian president and what will be the topic of the negotiations is currently unknown. it is interesting that not long before this visit, zelenskyi wanted to make a call for supplies weapons in front of the bulgarian parliament, but the lawmakers refused to listen to him. zelensky should go to bulgaria against the backdrop of changes in ukraine. recently, a new government was elected there, and

along with this, the position regarding the supply of heavy weapons to ukraine changed . according to unofficial information , the supply of ammunition worth about 150 million euros is expected from the country's warehouses . the president of the romanian soviet union is actually in opposition to the government. recognized the occupied crimea as russian during the presidential debates, and the council was categorically against the supply of weapons to ukraine, they call it a mistake and even despite this , weapons from bulgaria entered ukraine through intermediary countries . we will discuss his faster and more voluminous details about this probable visit with the next guest hryhoriy perepelitsa political scientist director of the institute

of foreign policy studies joined on our broadcast. i welcome you to our broadcast. thank you for joining. good afternoon. information about zelensky's probable visit to bulgaria has become public, which may happen today. if it happens, why is this visit important ? maybe you have some guesses. and why was it kept secret only because of security the question is, are there any other reasons, well, look here , these reasons are primarily due to security. as you rightly said, secondly, we must understand that bulgaria ten is a black sea country that has full control over the waters of the black sea sea ​​has the russian black sea fleet and from the command, accordingly, one way or another, bulgaria is under a potential military threat

from russia, and here it is very, very easy to attack any means of transport of the russian federation with the help of aviation and the black sea fleet, and this constitutes a great, great danger in this therefore, security measures should definitely be in the first place , and this is how it is described, not an unannounced visit of the president, but secondly , the internal political situation, which you have also sung in quite a lot of detail, because in bulgaria now has a strong pro-russian sentiment and you talked about the newly elected president who really proclaimed the theses that you told you was absolutely pro-russian and that is why even when the decision was already made that the countries would be members of nato nato provided assistance

to ukraine, military assistance , bulgaria could not dare to provide such assistance for a long time and were chosen such and such an option of mediation when bulgaria transferred so now uh , let's restore the connection, there may be some problems with the internet, and now we will continue the conversation we are recruiting our guests, let me remind you that we spoke with grigor priplitsy, a political scientist and director of the institute of foreign policy studies, we are talking about volodymyr zelenskyi's probable visit to bulgaria, which was announced today. precisely about the importance of cooperation between ukraine and bulgaria e.p. grigoriyu with your return to the air and i would also like to clarify what is the importance of such cooperation

, since it is a political agenda in the country changed in such a way that last week, even we already heard that bulgaria approved a new package of military aid to ukraine, the details are not disclosed, it is true that cooperation can be so important, precisely in the military plan, bulgaria has something to share with ukraine, and what is it important, it is important because bulgaria has a large military capacity for the production of soviet-style ammunition - this is 127 km and 152 mm ammunition reserves, which are the most scarce countries such as poland, the czech republic and slovakia, they have practically exhausted these reserves, which were the czech republic now e-e manufactures such ammunition for ukraine, but as you know, the production of e-e in the czech republic is very limited . bulgaria has such capacities

and romania has such capacities. the counteroffensive that we know has already begun and bulgaria could partially cover this ammunition with just seven, and our interest in terms of conducting hostilities against the russian aggressor is related, and if bulgaria will supply directly, even more will increase the production of these munitions. and we know that the european union has decided to allocate 1 billion dollars and 1 billion euros to the countries that will supply these munitions to ukraine, so there is a clear interest on the part of the bulgarian government, and even more so there is a very great interest on the part of ukraine in this the owner, although the security aspect really

raises questions here. but nevertheless, we see that our president dared to make such a visit in order to speak directly to the parliament , perhaps, and to talk with government officials, in particular, with the minister of defense. the president of a country in a state of war is going somewhere for such a meeting, then this is important. finally, i want to ask you about the nato summit that will take place next week in vilnius, but ukraine is very much looking forward to an official invitation to the alliance. the united states believes that nato's doors are open for ukraine, however the decision will be made when all the member countries agree and when ukraine will carry out reforms and meet all the requirements of the alliance, in which do you have predictions, whether a certain map will be offered before joining, or maybe by invitation, or no such years of movements

political events will not take place. well, the theses that you announced on the part of biden and some other leaders of the countries have already been announced. they are already testifying to the process. roughly speaking, this is an excuse for not allowing ukraine to become a member of nato. we listened to it. and we have heard since the 2000s at the bucharest summit that we were also promised that ukraine would be, but they do not dare to give ukraine nato membership because they are afraid of russia. and so this is the main factor not to get involved in a war with russia, since nato has already been in these years turned from a defense union into security of the organization, that is why they accept and put forward such conditions to the candidates for nato members, so that from their point of view, military

aggression, military threat, because they want to defend their country, and that is why ukraine is now defending its eastern flank, and that is why such a statement that we have reached the standards is very cynical and our army is stronger than all the armies, and it proved it on the battlefield, none of them has yet proven it, that is why nato has always performed one function, that is, the function of deterrence, the function of deterrence is that there are three conditions of such deterrence functions, that if you attack us there, then there will be, so to speak , an adequate blow in response. or maybe it is so unacceptable, i understood that the position , unfortunately, we have to end it. thank you for your opinion.

institute of foreign policy studies we are talking about the probable visit of zelensky to bulgaria and the assessment of the situation of the next nato summit, which will take place next week freedom from mornings with you every day from 9:00 am katya nekrechena, our whole team wishes you have a good day, see you on the air at ten o'clock, it's time to find out what's happening in ukraine and the world, at this time khrystyna parubiy is working in the studio four people were killed as a result of an enemy attack on lviv - 32 people were injured, 64 people were rescued at night a russian rocket hit an apartment building it was destroyed
