[000:00:00;00] to equip and put on some transport suitable for war, this is a third story in general. thank you, oleksiy hetman, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, a major from the reserve of the national guard of ukraine, was in touch with us . a moment of silence in ukraine. died in the war

that was unleashed by russia . hello, this is freedom in the morning. my name is oleg. we are starting on the territory of the occupied kherson region . russian forces have forbidden civilians to move between the bare pier and with a kinburg scythe, they say in the ukrainian general staff, instead, shelling of kherson itself and the city of the region continues, let's talk about the situation there, the bakhmut direction remains one of the hottest on the front, in particular , according to the data of the ukrainian military, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed the personnel of the russian formation there, which consisted of fans of the cska football club. what

is happening on in the vicinity of bakhmut and in the very place we will now ask the military stormtroopers of the russian army in the direction of kupyan daily try to break through the defense of the ukrainian forces, how threatening the situation is, i will tell you later in the broadcast, if you have not yet subscribed to the radio liberty youtube channel, be sure to do so, then our communication with you will be constant, and you will also have access to verified and important information. russian forces in the bakhmut direction are changing the principles of the introduction of combat, they reoriented themselves to the use of small infantry groups for counterattacks, now they operate without so-called meat assaults, as it was before , he told about it on the air of a news telethon the press officer of the third assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr borodin also added that the forces of the russian federation are trying to defend themselves with the help of a large number of drones and are betting on

the use of aviation artillery and mines. the formation of espanyol that, as borodin says, the rarity of the work of the so-called fan spetsnaz consisted of fans of the russian football club csk i i would like to remind you that the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, reported that the armed forces of ukraine in the bakhmut direction over the last week liberated a total of three square kilometers on the southern flank of this direction, 40 square kilometers have already been liberated, this minute maksym zhorin is joining our conversation - this is the ex-commander of the azov regiment major of the armed forces of ukraine and deputy commander of the third assault brigade. i congratulate you. thank you for taking the time to join us. since yesterday, the attention of the snakes has been focused on the liberation of the harvest. the situation in the direction of bakhmut did it happen? maybe because of the successes of the armed forces of ukraine there in

bakhmut, for example, the russian forces tried to somehow intensify the shelling. and he, for the most part, they mostly consist of sufficiently prepared and motivated units, and this , in turn, definitely affects the speed of our progress on the result, yes . because the more of these units here, the more it becomes more difficult to move forward this does not stop our movement, you must understand that they really have several stages in mind, the first is to stop us , and secondly, they plan to develop their offensive , so at the moment , they cannot even implement the first stage, but their intentions they have such and it is becoming more and more difficult to advance because the forces , fresh forces are prepared and they are being transferred here quite a lot. also, their intentions are well evidenced by the counterattack attempts, which have been going on

for the last week, and they tried on foot and in small groups we tried to move with the use of equipment and machine tools, and throughout this history we simply broke up and destroyed all these attacking groups, they ceased to exist at all. but nevertheless, this indicates the intentions of the enemy and that he is not going to leave there, flee, give up positions. he is in all seriousness planning to move forward, which accordingly affects the speed of our advance p maxim and these prepared units are the prepared reinforcements you are talking about from which directions maybe if you know the transfer by the russian side, and what kind of units are these units of the airborne forces there, maybe some other formations of the regular army of the russian federation, what is known about them , some of the units that are transferred here , which are now here, these are regular

units that, uh, were withdrawn even earlier from other directions to be equipped carried out coordination and transferred here mainly paratroopers eh. also there are eh mechanized units that were transferred here and also at the moment those units that directly now performed the task eh are already being transferred here and in the north and south of our country, in turn, they plan to bring new and fresh forces there, which they recently gathered there, because they still have enough reserve forces to form new units and translate transfer it here, first of all, to the fact that people should be in the real world and not deceive themselves that the enemy has something over there , so far, uh, they still have quite a lot of human technical reserve power, and they demonstrate this

by simply transferring and saturate the front e-e with these subdivisions for the most part, the paratroopers are now opposite us, and there are also units of the khmat and units of such a parody of the fan movement in russia, espanyol, too. they are here , but they mostly participate as drone operators. that is , they do not participate directly on the contact line, they do not like it very much, but they fly drones they are scouting and they also control strike drones, how much is this espanyol - this group is big because we already reported today that some of the representatives of this group were destroyed as she said about it in the armed forces of ukraine, how many representatives of this formation know anything about it, so absolutely not many, how did they collect it like this, and they once had a parody of fan rock, which is also exactly how, in principle, everything in the russian

federation was governed there fsb well, they created them completely, they accompanied them and gave them tasks, and now these same people. they tried to assemble a unit, but it was not enough for a full-fledged unit there, for a battalion, even for the shooter throws there, not to mention some more serious forces and that's why they were able to collect these types of companies, uavs yes, in which they are there, on which they fly, there are tvs, they have drones with resets, and they also have reconnaissance drones. that is, there are several companies , at least what at the moment in them. here is what they were able to collect and bring here. maxim, we have a morning message from the armed forces of ukraine that the ukrainian military destroyed russian k-52 helicopters in the direction

of bakhmut in the morning. from the loss of such a helicopter in particular to what extent it will be significant or insignificant for the russian forces, there it is a significant loss of such equipment is always significant because even the russians, despite the fact that they have a lot of equipment, they still have a limited number of such equipment and the loss of each unit is significant and another very important moment affects here, this is such an educational moment, let’s say that after the downing of an airplane or a rotorcraft, as a rule, we have some time when they don’t fly, when they are afraid or rearrange routes or rearrange there plans. well, this is on a certain morning. because took place in particular. well, when the armed forces of ukraine reported that there was a beating, it somehow became calmer now and where is the reconstruction . is it still too early to talk about it? has enough time passed? we will be able to analyze it in a few days. when we will be able to see their new routes, new new regime flights and applications but before that, they

brought quite a lot of problems here, the actively operating aviation is expensive. and we have it working all day long every day, the harvest aviation is constantly working, one of those unpleasant things which is here and they are, by the way, right on these slurries in the picture c2, these are anti-tank installations that are on these rotorcraft and which can work from a fairly long distance, at which it is difficult to harvest them , according to us. well, that's why there are quite a lot of aviation problems bring harm to us, but i’m saying things like that, when you somehow manage to destroy them, as a rule, it gives us a little pause to breathe and that they are there until- while they are regrouping and looking for new opportunities, maksym and some circumstances may be better known to you. well because the message it is only about what was shot down. in fact, this helicopter may be something you know more about, how it happened 10 + it was not our unit that was hit

, so i do not have details at the moment . please tell me about the assault actions of your brigade , in particular, they take place in conditions of a difficult landscape and generous mining this is a direct quote of literally 100 g of the channel by the forces of the russian federation in the territory of m. how dense are these mines and how much does it stop the possible faster advance of the ukrainian defense forces in this direction well, first of all , mining is, in principle, it is used in order to either slow down or stop the movement of the advancing forces, and they and we use it for this very purpose, to defeat the technique of defeating the personnel, e.e., when the enemy is planning offensive or assault actions there. it is widely used by the enemy, they have enough of this good to

mine everything around them both with anti-personnel mines and anti-tank mines, etc. this really makes adjustments to our plans sometimes because it does not it is always possible to detect, sometimes it is almost impossible, taking into account the modern tricks of demining the enemy, sometimes it is not possible due to the dynamics of battles, but hmm, in our direction , i would say that demining is a little easier than , for example, in zaporizhzhia, and this is due to the fact that we try to constantly maintain the dynamics of offensive take action and do not let the enemy er-er densely mine everything around him although he wants it, he tries to do it, but we try not to allow it because we understand that it will turn out for us later problems and losses, that's why we try to keep the dynamics of constantly knocking out the enemy and not letting him concentrate, stop adapting, but about the scumbags from those

interviews that are in the public space from what they write on telegram channels, we can read that very often in the direction of bakhmut, because it happens on at very short distances , how much more difficult is it to do than, for example, at a long distance, who in such cases has the advantage of defense power? is the army of the russian federation, after all, that i can understand at least as they write, it is in particular about how the positions are cleared where, for example, there were the russian military, but since when they get them and so on, who has an advantage in such cases, i think that in principle, fighting at such a distance as is happening now is faster than the last time at all was during the second world war, and it is unlikely that there were such examples anywhere else, but even more. apparently, they are already similar to the examples of the first world war, when there were only trench battles, because now

during our assaults, as a rule, we clear uh prepared engineering and fortification structures , that is, trenches, trenches, positions in which the enemy is already located, and this is a separate extremely difficult task, because it is the enemy's positions, he knows them better than we do, he is there in them, relatively speaking , as at home, he knows where at what angle, where the fire positions are located, where dugouts are located. for us, this is a more difficult task, and sometimes there are, well, in the literal sense, almost hand-to-hand close to each other for several meters. there you see the enemy somewhere in the crosshairs in the best case yes, and you can destroy him, you don't hear him, you don't feel him, but here he is next to you and he can reach you with his hand because there is some kind of weapon in terms of psychology, these battles are extremely difficult, but what

our stormtroopers of the third assault brigade are doing. well, it’s generally extraordinary, it’s impossible , and it’s a huge and extremely difficult job that is taken on by the division commanders, the platoon commanders, who almost independently make operational decisions on maneuvering the use of capture weapons to date, they have already gained a lot of experience in these battles, and especially in bakhmut, where we were in urban battles , urban development, and in battles in forest belts, which are significantly different, because how are there in small settlements like villages there ? we have a reaction to the news from the russian changes , in particular about the fact that by the 24th year i removed captured azov residents, it is about anton romanyuk and pavel artemenko, who were accused of brutal treatment of civilians, namely, shelling of residential buildings of the so-called dnr

after the retreat of the 22nd year, are there any options at all as of now? it is possible in the legal sphere to save the captured azov citizens from the so-called justice well, first of all, i would not call this story justice here , it does not even smell of justice, moreover, it is, well, for me personally , it is so personal internal difficult history because i have known most of these people for many years. they are our fighting family for me , even though they have been there for a long time and there is no connection with them. but nevertheless, we are waiting for everyone and we are doing it to bring them back to justice, this does not smell like spitting in the face, well, in general , to the whole civilized world , it is a signal to them that this country is not going to play by any rules that exist today. this country is not going to, hmm, fulfill any conditions if we talk about exchange , then these decisions do not have any legal status in the normal world, and therefore, of course , these people are still submitted for exchange

, moreover, there are even cases when already convicted people were exchanged and returned back for us differences what did they think of there or did they condemn them what they tell them there for us these remain our people who in any case we will bring home p maxim i thank you for this activation take care maxim zhorik commander of the azov regiment major of the armed forces ukraine's deputy commander of the third assault brigade was in touch with us, we talked about the situation in the bakhmut direction and the so-called justice for the captured azov people, and the storm squads of the russian army, which are equipped with prisoners every day in different directions they are trying to break through the defense of the ukrainian troops in order to block and then capture kupyansk. this is reported by the commander of the ground forces of ukraine. the media center of the e-e defense forces writes according to the words of the syrian together with the commanders of the units standing on the approaches to the city. he made a number of important decisions that

will ensure the reliability of the defense of kup yanska ukrainian forces are transferring reserves near kupyansk to prevent the movement of russian troops, the representative of the eastern deployment of the armed forces of ukraine, serhii cherevaty, has already announced this on the air of the telethon news, according to him, the ukrainian forces actually gave orders and directly clear orders for the construction of additional defenses, but in the nearby lyman direction , the regrouping of russian forces and the replacement of parts that have lost their combat capability due to losses, which the ukrainian armed forces plan to take advantage of, have already been announced by syrian the priority for the russian army remains the capture of the village of senkivka, which is in the north of kupyansk; in addition, the day before , russian forces also attacked stelmakhivka , a village in the luhansk region on the border with in kharkiv to the north-west of the occupied world, but the russian army is not successful in any of the other settlements radio svoboda has no information about this, serhiy

cherevaty, the spokesman for the eastern group of troops, told our colleagues on the air of our colleagues in the svoboda life program more about the situation on this part of the front and that how the russian units are trying to occupy kupyansk , listen further, they are regrouping, they are forced to regroup under our strikes and the powerful repulse that we gave them there to continue to try to attack yesterday, there was literally only one attack in this area, in this direction , today i use four active enemy artillery 500-41 times on the nose, a blow to the broken kupyan type, our positions are more. we are just studying combat glitzers and attack aircraft e-e while repelling enemy attacks 49 occupiers were destroyed 118 early one was taken prisoner destroyed enemy armored car e-e two

howitzers d-30 three mortars two sparing lancet ammunition and four warehouses with with ammunition, warehouses with ammunition are one of the top priorities for our artillery and this day was successful in this direction, we found four warehouses with ammunition in the bakhmut e-e direction, along with the fact that we also symmetrically destroyed four warehouses with ammunition, another warehouse with fuel and lubricants materials and six freight cars that transported ammunition during this day and for several days in a row, the sinkivka a-a in the direction of kupyansk is a priority for them, and they pay a lot of attention and even write about some pseudo-victories on their telegram channels and also during this day there was a stelmahivka where they tried to attack, but all their attacks were stopped and their main achievement during this day, as well as during the previous ones, was huge losses, even the soviet groups

in afghanistan were better prepared because there were soldiers there military service, as a rule, but the officer corps, e.e., senior ensigns, were e.e. , who had many years of service, and those soldiers who even completed their military service were trained quite well in so-called training centers, now, e.e., that’s what the commander said, e.e. and which one he meant from the prisoners, he meant the z storm company, these are quasi-substitutes for wagner, they are fearing for the time being conducting a full-fledged mobilization, and the circumstances force them to do so. they conduct it covertly , they conduct it alternatively . administrations, they drive personnel into the territorial troops or into the combat army reserve, and also form so-called storm companies under the military leaders, which of such anti-social

elements are among people who have problems with the law people are being formed who are either in prison or have a risk of getting there and being under a conditional sentence. and it is from them that they are trying to make such assaults if the detachments that broke through our first line were allowed to break through and then enter the next lessons , meanwhile, in the occupied kherson region, the russian military strengthen filtering measures , the general staff of ukraine reports about this , in particular, from august 15 to 26, they prohibited any civilian traffic between the bare pier this village on the left bank of the dnieper to of the kinburn spit of the peninsula in the black sea, which is connected by land with the kherson region, but administratively it is a part of the mykolaiv region, in addition, in the kherson region, the occupiers are conducting mass searches of residential premises and checking telephones, and the main attention is paid to residents who have seven cards of ukrainian operators, according to the message

of the general staff itself kherson and the region are under fire from russian forces every day, so the day before , russian troops fired artillery at 10 settlements in the kherson region and the region itself the center is aware of attacks on educational and medical institutions. this was reported by the head of the kherson regional military administration , oleksandr prokudin. the regional military administration urged people not to go out into the streets. three local people were wounded, in particular, a patient who was being treated. in addition , they were wounded as a result of shelling. i am also in three villages of the kherson region, but here a 54-year-old man died in the village of lviv, beryslav district, who was on the street at the time of the shelling, this topic we will continue to discuss with our speaker, oleksandr joins the conversation tolokonnikov is the spokesman of the kherson regional military administration. i congratulate you, mr. oleksandr. please tell me in more detail about the strengthening of filtering measures in the occupied kherson region by russian forces, what is the ban on movement between two points, what do

you know about it in particular, and who will it concern ? well, first of all, they are constantly introducing new ones are canceled there, but there is such an opinion regarding this period, of course we understand what they have there, the main one, immediate, there is such an opinion regarding august 24, they are afraid, they are afraid uh, the partisan movement is afraid of some kind of active actions in the territory covered by the partisans, and since they have concentrated a certain amount of their forces on the kinburg plantation itself, and i think that they are also planning some kind of action , i don’t know, probably from there, but i think that first of all, they are worried about not surrendering the location of a-a to the very eh-e so that our armed forces

certainly do not work on these eh-e positions to the enemies. passed this day as a whole, how often did the air alarm sound there? well, i repeat that here the air alarm does not work as well as in other regions and regions of ukraine, here we have an air alarm - it is when we hear the exit from that bank from the left bank and in us there are 5-10 seconds to cross either in the apartment there behind two walls or if you are on the street, then the nearest shelter is on the street in terms of the consequences, you are really there. as you already mentioned, one person died in the village of lviv, unfortunately

, almost in a kiss, he was kissed by a projectile almost in a person died instantly, unfortunately, the kingdom of heaven also seven more people were injured, two people in nukivsk, three people in this kherson as well. as you already mentioned, one of them was right next to the hospital, a patient of the hospital of the biological center and was wounded again in the chest, that is, the person counted the heart and again the russians wounded him somewhere, but luckily it wasn't shallow, now i'm in charge, nothing is in danger , and also there were volumes of the baptismal font and one person was injured there, that is, a total of 422 shells that they fired from different types this is the weapon, and the people of olgii bombed the olgii school again. they wanted these air bombs to wipe out the land for

educational institutions . they continue to attack the land here on the right bank. this is the situation . they shelled oleksandr 78 times. the military administration, the general staff of ukraine , is the number of people who are leaving kherson oblast on their own for security reasons increasing? or is it possible that there is some small evolutionary group that takes these people out as often as they go and how many continue to return to the de-occupied kherson region, plus we have such a paradoxical situation when we returned, it was really close there, probably in kherson itself, about 100,000 people, then by spring, as a result of these shellings, the security situation, people left, about 50,000 were in kherson itself. now we used the free the palace was evacuated from the ministry of the temporary full territories and with the help of the military administration and various

regions so far 36,000 of them have benefited there 4.5 - these are children for these 9 months is already ongoing evacuation continues , of course, every day somewhere around 100-150 people leave, that is, if you count that 50 were in the spring and 36 still left, then you can think that there is no one here, but at the moment there are 72,000 uah of people living in kherson, we understand that some people leave free of charge and return for funds, some returned to him after the polish attack in order to open up the crime and help the communal clean up. well, in principle , it is clear that people go to see what is going on in their homes and put everything in order now this is the situation, but people continue. this program will work. people can use it at any time. they can even

call the hotline of the kherson regional military administration 0 81 102 and ask, we will help. yesterday , photos were published on the network of what the kakhov reservoir looks like. now, after shallowing, it has turned green m- m at what stage of restoration of all the damage and damage suffered by settlements after the flood what is the biggest problem that still remains, first of all, this is our task, the task first of all, it is to help people with he is rebuilding the houses, about 400 houses were completely destroyed, now these people are provided with temporary housing, this is also humanitarian hubs in kherson itself, in other regions people are also accepted, accepted and people are waiting , and also these crimes are accepted now almost 8,000 people are there

of buildings, including as a result of shelling due to flooding, the commissions continue to work, people will receive assistance for reconstruction , major repairs, and simply there is for the restoration of this assistance and that which is up to 200 thousand in relation to the logistical routes that have been washed away there there is a lot of water, in principle everything has already been repaired by our utility companies for cars, there are roads, and the work to restore the water supply continues. where it is possible not even to restore the water, the water has not yet fallen in the wells , but we are already forgetting about new wells in order to insure because we we understand that above the cabbage, the whole water mirror will fall, and we are already thinking about insuring a deeper well to drill so that people remain with water and there is no shortage. thank you for this inclusion. of the regional military administration about

the situation in the kherson region itself and where the occupied
