[000:00:00;00] she wrote herself, wrote a heroic act into history, and after february 20, after the shooting of the maidan, everything became clear, everything became obvious, the annexation of crimea began, and for me , as a historian, as a person who understood what was happening, everything fell into place, and the enemy was obvious. only weapons could stop it, we then began to demand from the leadership there that the new leadership of the maidan and ukraine should do a volunteer battalion and we will go to defend crimea, well, but you understand the statist approach, it is not like that, they took us to the petrivtsi initial center and to the base just in time the internal troops were recreated, the national guard was restored, because the previous national guard was drying up. well, kuchma abolished it. it had very little, great popularity among the people, it was pro-ukrainian. it was very clear that it was prestigious to serve in

a nation. will it be too late, well, they will be with the people under his regime, and he , well, destroyed it little by little, making obedient internal troops, but after the very , well, well, after the maidan of the revolution of dignity , just when the turks were there, when it had already begun the lecture of crimea, he gathered who can defend ukraine with weapons, then this is just the highest one, it turned out that there were 5,000 bayonets for the whole of ukraine, and it was mainly the internal troops who broke the shutter and said that we were ready, and it was, well, first of all, they were not disintegrated like the armed forces of ukraine secondly, well, they felt, i don’t know whether it was guilt or the voice of blood or simply their eyes were opened, probably on the basis of internal waxes and on the basis of our volunteer battalion of hundreds of hundreds of self-defense maidan created our first reserve second

reserve battalion recreated the national guard, and so we became the first volunteer battalion of the restored national guard, that prestigious and restored national guard, you served under the leadership of kulchytskyi, can you tell me what it was like? what kind of officer is that? in the maidan, we already knew then that there were generals who were looking for a compromise, he was not afraid to come directly to our top and talk with us. me too for ukraine, you can't just do that. i'm a state scandinavian. and you want to break it roughly, but we also have no choice because you don't give us one. well, the dialogue went on. that is, we already knew about the existence of the confrontation between the maidan activists and the internal troops, it was quite serious between us there was blood, but well, i am a nationalist and for me ukraine is above all

else, that is, ambition is everything, well, understanding the state is the most important thing, and the people , when we came, saw the internal troops at the petrivtsi base. we are like that, we don't need you, give us weapons and we're going to the crimea and that's all we were so shocked . hands for ukraine and i am ready to go with my mother. well, i am a general, i am a professional . to learn this will step over everything everything because ukraine above all is me from him pochemu well a moment that, well, in principle, well, there were those who boiled there, who turned around and left but ukraine above all whose heart it was in the soul , the majority remained and we believed him, he said, i will study with you personally and

i will go with you personally, which is basically what happened to him performed. he very quickly gained authority and all the misunderstandings between the maidan residents and his riders were there, even if it came to a fight, the two of them were there and they would pull everything, that is , and you know when the slavic blockade began. well, as a military general, he went around the checkpoints we had to shoot through the checkpoints, we had to shoot the road, we had to fly there, that is, it was brave, and then we saw such care, you know. and when he, well, when he died, we orphaned him like that, in our midst, having tea for a dream , dreams for freedom, went on a run and you left be happy and you left so as not to return the red bayonet to the bloody roadways and graves

in the cities when the full scale invasion began i had to and i'll leave with a raisin, sit near popasnaya and hold the defense there, a volunteer came up to me. we were ferrying schools of refugees across the river there, they were quietly transported. and some volunteers from kyiv accepted him. he says what do you guys want, do you guys make a lishkov battalion here, if not, we are ukrainians battalion, we will be here too. izyum is here, he is here in sviatohirsk. well, tatyanut, he is this sahara. many people believed that izyum is such an impregnable fortress of the invaders in kharkiv region that they still

won't knock them out of there for nothing. that's why you fought by the way, can you tell me how difficult it was there or the other way around? it was all an illusion, a myth , but it also says that the beginning of the war was standard. they take quantitatively, well, dozens of times the amount on the advantage, and until being under the raisin , we are, well, until the middle to the end of almost march, we just have aviation, well, 500 kg , 200 kg of bombs, just uh, well, we have mastics, and bombila destroyed everything there, for example, i see how part of yatskivka village is just like that a plane arrived in the poorer part of the village of yaska, dropping 3,500 kg of bombs and seven 200 kg pieces, well , the interior of the cabin

was caught by the legs. i stop the icon and then the icons are needed well, i say you will destroy the church, the village, well, the alignment is complete, what icons do you have, what else do you have in your head, you know what is being done, well, but you fly like this for a long time, not because it is not at the end of march, at the beginning already until april 10 in our country there were already a lot of czechoslovak corpses there, they are 1.5 km away they hit weakly, but we drove the planes six kilometers up and there are already on sviatohirsk beechs began to shoot them at a high altitude, because at a high altitude and we lifted them all with these pipes, we never hit them, but we drove them up, and the beechs started in the afternoon as well 2- 3 airplanes, two, three airplanes, well, they began to hunt and catch them, they ran here along the oskol reservoir, there, after a day, they caught them with a key, then well, maybe it just so happened that we were still on the same rock, i already took the jump, we stayed in a bag in a cauldron there, my commander crows just a miracle i did what i was imprisoned there. we went out. under the dome of the city, that is, the game. we shot in this dome and got out of the encirclement . can you imagine how you planned for 80 people to

turn out like that? well, the crow is a cool commander. well , match him there, uh, assistant. that is, we they clearly came out and already reached the line of the sosnovy yarova cold room here for a month, well, they repelled infantry attacks there, they were groping there, pounding constantly, well, the advantage there is serious , there is concern. parking lot sonova and yarova, she just fell under the barrage of fire from five or six points at the same time from five in the morning to five in the evening , continuous artillery fire, this and that kind of scarecrow is here in every house there, in every house, that's my shit

, the second one is decommunized and the third one is decommunized all the decommunization was successful, so they and their place in history were forced to retreat and the 801 brigade blew up the bridge, and we already occupied it up the mountain and , having retreated, held it here. in zagora, the people didn’t have enough of us, they flew in there, landed the landing party, we then ran and chased them there, and there was constant cooperation between this monastery and this one, as intelligence worked against us, it’s clear, no matter who said anything, there would be ukrainian accents, the structure , they turned people against it's scary for us, i meet the family and she cooks food and they say, well, we have a car, we have it there in the dnipro , somewhere there, the family can leave, i'm cool, leave when you shoot us at the roadblock and say

that they are i at first more than once i thought it was a joke and then you see they seriously understand and they are sitting here somewhere there, they are fed there in the catacombs, this is a sign that the national guard will kill you , it was not easy if you leave here - i already know that does not show that well, as i say, i am the captain of the national guard, they have such a call sign, this one, i tell you, i give you the passwords, just take the children , it just jumps out through the serpentine, here is the serpentine mink, we constantly slipped through the bunting, and i will tell you that one roadblock will not meet a roadblock, as in the bzs and pereslavyansk and if you say me there, you will say the password, that's all. well, i know that only there , don't even ask, because who will be traveling with children ? i'm leaving 8-7. that little commander has permission to leave so that he doesn't get shot and it's not a joke. you see, it wouldn't be so funny if you didn't want to cry, and that's it. well, it's true, that is, what's inside, what

's the anti-ukrainian atmosphere, that's the story. i can tell you a lot about this place. how do you feel about the fact that the moscow patriarchate is still sitting here ? but here, because 100 m from this lavra , there is a monument to this dpr. well, do you understand? - he's not even artem, his name isn't even that, he was engaged in experiments, he went to the wealthy peasants there between bakhmut and popasna and stupidly engaged in combing here, his base was because of that, he was looted here, he was the organizer of the holodomor of 21-22, this is one from the organizers of the famines of 21-22 years under in the form of a red bandit, and when he was caught by the haidamaks of bahmut and found himself there, and lost him there for, well, for the fact that he was engaged

in agrabej, organized the holodomor, and having so, so, such a majestic monument in such and such a sacred city, it has a piece of victory over us always glorify yourself it's wrong, you know that the war started from this monastery here, and on april 13, 2014 , 39 green men came here with their heads cut off by their arrowheads, and nelya stepa, the chief of police, came here the head of the sbu, the entire elite betrayed the traitor, the summer of the uniform, they made a raid, they took off their turbans, took off the green, all the uniforms, weapons. and from here on the 14th, they left, they will announce the dnr, they went there, everything was paid for, because the war left for slavyansk, you understand, everything has personal protection, it consists of from the spiritual sons of the anarchs and the novels of the sviatogorsk lavra, completely to the last person, she was not very

big, but that was not eto byly. our soldiers sat down very well, and you were very kind to the rashis below, who deployed their combat equipment all over the world, well, you understand. right here , when we moved to the other side, we didn’t have such a thing as permanent changeovers . well, i thought that in principle they would leave by assault well, i, well, how am i, er, a soldier of the defense line? well, i don’t know. more than how. maybe we were given a little leave of absence . i think that there will be an assault. we are here. i was already thinking about where it is possible to get a foothold like that and leave. well, somehow everything- after all, understanding that it will be fiery again

well, but he didn't come. i didn't know that hymers had already appeared, that three axes had appeared, we didn't know it. i was sitting here on the mountain , somehow it started to be strange. well, i think you already knew what three by three axes are . it went on and on, well, they shot at the american cannon three times in a day, that's all, and then and-and and the day goes on non-stop. they only drove the kupyansk there. and we already received the order to prepare for an assault eh tso and we are in the same place on his bridge demos raft means sent ivantsov pulled a string there with a steamer they made me, well, but there was not such a strong fight eh fight already in me well, they became the second way, that is, the sweep went, you know in general

there is war, the death of a soldier, there is cowardice, there is fear, when you take it out for a long time, you just understand that fear just stirs and war itself chooses for me there, da vinci died there. he comes out of the water. random arrival, that is, i know such gifted people, a person of war , she knew everything . she breathed, she knew where to stop, bang, here she goes again. is he betting alive or is he betting you for victory and the conclusion is definitely one . well, we do not belong to ourselves, we do not lie in our future. therefore, everything is in god's hands and we are just a fear because you are just

doing your job. and he will choose us himself italy ukraine on megogo at the legendary san siro stadium, our national team will impress the italian audience with a bright game, watch the super match of the euro-2024 selection on september 12 at 21:45 on megogo there are 20% discounts on lollipops in pharmacies podorozhnyk for you and oschad with you vitaliy portnikov and we will discuss about the main events of this week vitaliy portnikov and top experts about the most striking events of the last seven days our guest will be the generator of large forces the former national security adviser of the president of the united states donald trump herbert mcmaster we will touch on current topics

hot questions authoritative comments and forecasts in the project informational marathon with vitaly portnikov every sunday at 8:10 p.m. on espresso hello this is freedom morning informational project radio svoboda therefore guests every day this is the shipping district of kherson live inclusion of the tenth separate mountain assault brigade edelweiss drones with the function of night vision fell out, they are vital for conducting reconnaissance, as they were bought by the efforts of viewers of the espresso tv channel

i wanted to thank all the viewers of espress, everyone who participated in this meeting. espress regularly supports the ukrainian army of ukrainian soldiers, and now, together with you, we have collected funds for the eyes of these beautiful drones that can work day and night, which will actually become the eyes of the scouts of the tenth mountain assault brigade, edelweiss friends. the lithuanians from the blyuelov foundation saw the espresso national team and decided to hand over five more copters , now the time is ticking for everyone to go to europe when they understand that this is our war. we thank our friends for their contribution to the victory, we are infinitely grateful to our viewers for their solidarity, concern for their help. thank you to all the people who contributed to our common cause. it is also victory. together to victory is our motto. good morning to those who joined espresso, we will immediately join the conversation of the military expert of our guest denys popovych p denys good morning glory to ukraine we don't have much time until nine o'clock, but there are a lot of questions

, so i'm looking. it's just that we've already gathered information from sumy oblast, everything is quite serious there, according to the shelling, the drgs are also working hot shelling in the kherson region and in the south of ukraine, we are watching what is happening in the kharkiv region as well, the chuguyiv kupyansky izyumskyi districts are constantly pounding artillery and mortars flying there kozach bursting cucumbers vovchan farms kamianka are flying with guided air bombs, they are carrying out airstrikes looking where they are aiming if not a school or a kindergarten, just private houses, every time the nato headquarters is destroyed, what are these things for? are they in such different regions, that is, what is the operational purpose of shooting at houses and schools and kindergartens

raindrops are there, cables are flying there, artillery and nw mortars are there, there is a huge set of these means of terror, and i said the word terror, this is the answer to your question, it is the terror of the local population, first of all, of the front of denys well, it is, besides, tears, blood and anger it does not cause anything in the local people behind the front line, what does it give them on the front line , the left of the front does not give anything if we talk about the local population that is shelled on the front line, it does not give anything if we talk about strengthening the position of the armed forces of ukraine, which they are not shelling the artillery with rzm here , respectively . there is a certain certain increase in the military sense . that is, these are strikes on denis. an interview given to the edition by the deb server oleksandr tarnavskyi , and he is the commander of the operational strategic

grouping of tavriy and this seems to be the first time that our the information that the first line of defense has been breached is also very important here. and an interesting point is that general tarnavskyi says that in fact 60% of the time and effort was put into the first line of defense to fill it with concrete, strengthen it , expand it, and here is the second line, to which we quickly reach in a short space of the front we will get there the rest of the time. that is, it is not so fortified, here i am with you . and actually i am asking how many square kilometers and the expansion of such a line are still needed so that the operational pushing of the first line of defense and the second will have a certain effect when the front should be sprinkled, well, let's call it the domino effect, how much more effort is needed , well, it is very difficult to answer your question because there are many factors. well, the question for the enemy

is, how will he continue to build his line of defense ? and what will he do next ? time and those guys who are now fighting precisely in the direction of zaporizhzhia viktor macao does not say that all the time this is suitable for reinforcements and including the enemy, reinforcements are removed from other members of the front diana of the front we mentioned about the crime, the crime, the landing units, they were falling over, the zaporozhye front, so i can’t tell you how much time it takes, it’s an equation, as they say, a lot is unknown about what mr. tarnavskyi said, he meant that the majority of the resource, the majority of the opportunity , the greater part, let’s say so fortified, they were aimed directly at the first summer defense there, build mini fields, build fortifications, make a cross system of defense there, everything is connected, and the parties did it they paid more attention to it, the rest of the attention, they divided the second and third parts

of the defense line, that's where we are right now, when we talk about the willow new prokopivka, the area south of staromlynivka, this is already the berdyansk direction, and that's why i hope that in connection with such a divided we will spend less time on overcoming the last lines of defense and breaking through to the sea, well, in the last day we have seen the advance of denise, er , southwest of the breakthrough line . before that there was a willow - these are two different sides. that is, we understand that they are trying to expand this particular squeeze and breakthrough after successfully working out the work, respectively. of certain reserves, now there is information that

the russian military has deployed a reserve army . so what is happening, that is , there are not enough resources for the reserve army. to block the advance in the southern two directions, there is not enough resources, therefore, the reserve is quality, but quality is another question, because i can refer to the data of british intelligence, which accordingly reported that the reserve army is being deployed due to the fact that the deployment period is short, it is very tight , but they are tight because it is necessary to stop the advance of ukrainian troops right here right now, because of the fact that these uh, this time is very short, it is short, therefore there are doubts about the fact that this army will be of high quality for the time being yes when she comes in at lunch, we will see what she is like. let's say what she has . yes, but we also see the enemy's plan, that is, they

are actually also trying to split this blow into two weaker blows, that is, to divide the forces of the armed forces of ukraine into melitopol and kupyansk directions so tear it apart in the north and in the south so that our general staff is also thinking about how to distribute forces correctly. they succeed in this operational task of weakening at least half of the two directions of strikes, the eastern and the southern , as we can see, so far, thank god, they have not succeeded in that what is going on with the advance in the south, we are now talking to you about it, firstly, secondly , their plans for the kutovo direction, they are also currently not being implemented. well, for now, that's all as they say. i think it's exaggerated because their plan doesn't succeed, it doesn't succeed

. because i said more about it, you mentioned that there is a transfer of reserves in the buyer's direction, that is, they are forced to sell reserves, no. and you, looking at the fact that uh is happening in the waters of the black sea, we can see that it is already far away, not for the first week, they are trying to either withdraw the missile launchers sterilely and flee or stay away from the crimean peninsula in the direction of novorossiysk, that is, there are already some significant changes in the waters of the black sea around the temporarily occupied crimea. is it still a situational situation? after that , they began to use their fleet more carefully, which is now only involved in shelling the territory of ukraine

with air defenses and in some attempts to block it. the movement of ships, ships, commercial ships, plus, such a factor appeared in the unmanned drones, whose doses they began to fear very much, so today they are forced to hide their flora in this way, because they perfectly understand that the cost of ships and the cost of marine drones is not a reduction, but the effect is huge but in the last few days, we have collected enough confirmation of information that our armed forces manage to hit quite rare and expensive systems and how the self-propelled guns are like monstas, including expensive anti-aircraft defense systems, i.e. many expensive iron has been destroyed in the last few days, at the same time, in parity, which in many places has not been achieved, that is, there is an advantage here in bc over the enemy , how can you explain that they began to feel less sorry for heavy equipment? is it somehow different that

our armed forces began to work? because the statistics went very sharply up well, because we perfectly understand that artillery and everything related to it, and rap is not so anti-artillery as this about drones, because it is a reparative struggle, well, first of all, let's talk about artillery, it is the basis for offensive actions and for defensive in this particular war, that is, artillery plays a very large role and a significant number of routes from hypertoners, so in order for us to advance successfully, we need to pay attention to artillery, and in addition, when we talk about breaking through the first line of defense or about the supply line, if otherwise they are called there were mini fields, family fields , they were supported by artillery , and in order to successfully overcome these mini fields , and thus to overcome this first summer defense , it was necessary to destroy the artillery, and not only the artillery is there for saturday counter battery combat is being destroyed behind it anti-aircraft defenses that are pulverizing in one way or another the actions

of our aviation it is with us it is it it is working in the same way, this interference with the action of drones works, that is, we had to destroy all this in order to successfully overcome as much as possible without loss of e- yes, there were losses in this line of defense , but they were much greater if we followed the advice of our western friends, who are very indignant that we listen to them, uh, in the press, if we were to help, our friends would simply abandon their troops forward well, yes, but at least it’s nice that they realized it and openly they say that the strategies and tactics of the armed forces of ukraine, and in particular on the southern and eastern fronts, are more correct than those theoretical tips from the pentagon’s manuals denis thanks for the operational analysis of the situation denis popovych military expert let's see how the situation will develop further, because in addition to the good leopards with our dynamic defense , the abrams will soon appear. well, in the meantime, we

are approaching nine o'clock, and this is a national moment of silence. we are all with him those who died in this second russian-ukrainian war, we will honor with a minute of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war that was unleashed by
