[000:00:00;00] the bakhmut-horlivka route is already under the fire control of the defense forces of ukraine this is stated in the eastern group of forces and they add that the supply of russian units in this direction has become much more difficult , the general staff says that the army of the ref is intensively trying to regain positions in the bakhmut direction of the liberated andriyivkas, and the klichivkas, because they are very important in terms of the defense of bakhmut. despite this, the defense forces continue to successfully advance on the bakhmut and melitopol directions, they write in the institute for the study of war, among other things it is noted that in zaporizhzhia, ukrainian troops inflicted significant losses in manpower and equipment of the occupier in the anabakhmut museum, they continue their offensive actions and strengthen themselves on new fixed borders , at the same time, analysts note that the redeployment of the russian airborne forces from bakhmut to zaporizhzhia has weakened the russian

defense around the city well, next video from drying out the press, whose journalists spent two weeks and with the third assault brigade that freed andriyivka and now holds positions

near bakhmut." shooting yes, we went with a tent, petya is working, and here is dad, the payments took a long time, i would like to say that it is not worth it, it is not worth the human lives that are wasted, but if there is no other way, i still wanted more help , help with equipment and weapons, especially our brigade, well comparable, after all, the most motivated well, after all, as a child in

the prepared, more or less, hand them over, maybe work is arming, maybe aviation and what kind of helicopter they say that we are advancing for a long time we have to try, they will understand it themselves, although for once, how did they think it was so simple? you hear war is a great science here, no one has won it with a machine gun yet

, a little to fit, we will have to fix the flag, we are handsome , ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general , deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-10 joins the broadcast igor, my greetings. good evening. they talked about the bakhmut horlivka highway, which is already under the fire control of the armed forces of ukraine , how critical is it for the occupier , do they have alternative ways of transportation or there are no reserves of manpower in this direction, it is very important during the offensive on andriivka and then the liberation and the ticks, first

of all, well, in the area of ​​andriivka, for example, we captured the railway there, if it continued, they want to defeat them, the russians actively use the railway to solve the issues of logistical support for the railway further on is the highway road along which they use it in the mountains and carry out their logistical support . there were a lot of battles in order to maintain both the north and the south supply routes while there we kept them, which means that the troops and units could be located and perform tasks directly in bakhmut, so we are now

controlling, as already said, by means of fire this means the movement of the enemy's troops, the enemy's forces, the logistics of the enemy, this is very important, and we will not tell you about the routes. we are less, they will have such opportunities, the sooner we will not be able to release on our bank to the east, the grouped say that anyway , the greatest concentration of enemy forces is currently observed over loman in the kupyan direction, and they still keep 110,000 personnel there, a large number of artillery systems equipment, but at the same time they don’t try to advance, why and why do they keep forces there? and they are still being transferred to the south from bakhmut. what to prepare for? well, in general, there are 20,000 or more

of them at their disposal, although most of these troops on someone, it really was located in the kupyan direction. and yes, such a group is generally in the east of the country, it is not only there in the kupyan region, why did they concentrate here? where does the logistical support of hostilities come from, and it is clear that this direction is chosen as more promising. but we also know about this, we understand that they organized the defense in such a way that the offensive impulse of such an seo group was shot down in general 120,000 if there was more space, they formed, tried to advance and , seeing that in the near future without

perspective, began to transfer their troops to the more threatening tauri direction . in the kherson direction , i.e., they recruited de makwa in order to stop the advance of e. there and in the area of ​​the melitopol and berdyansk directions, there is not enough reserve for them to come from one place where they are most active in the kherson region in this direction, there was also an intensification of our offensive actions, and the troops of the defense force of ukraine conduct not only reconnaissance, sabotage, and perform combat tasks, but

they are already capturing the corresponding bridgehead on the left bank of the dnieper . you are forcing the enemy and that earlier they removed the detachment of troops, now they have to carry out the tasks of defense in order to stop the advancing of our troops and prevent the expansion of both the bridgehead and increase in their number and regarding the strikes, you have confirmed to the general staff at the airfields in the occupied crimea that sources write that it was a joint operation of the navy of the sbu that the special services allegedly used drones that overloaded the russian airfield and then launched neptune a missiles, or how likely are you to succeed in such a scenario and is it the most optimal a-a for ukraine to hit military facilities in the occupied crimea, what is generally known about the planes that were there, the planes from the crimea

performed the task of supporting the troops the enemy operating in the south is what you and i discussed, and this is not the first time that we have carried it here . we remember last year and we also carried out missile strikes on airfields located in the temporarily occupied crimea . and why exactly this sequence whether the combination of missile weapons and drones is aerial and not only aerial . they help, they are launched from the su-24 air platform, which the russians are always looking for to strike and destroy these

carriers of ours, and they also strike with missiles , for example, neptune, mr. danilov talked about this, that is, missiles, missile complexes that were developed as a complex near ships and thanks to whose actions the flagship cruiser moscow was defeated. it was completed, de-processed and converted into a complex that works for the earth and in this way struck a number of other objects , including er-e, destroying the enemy's shot aircraft and airfield infrastructure is also very important because making the airfield unsuitable for use by aircraft and enemy aviation is also important, heard mr. ihora, thank you very much for finding the opportunity to join the broadcast and romanenko

, lieutenant general of otsavtsiv, deputy chief of the general staff in 2006 in the 10s, he was in direct contact with us. well, as i already said, the armed forces of ukraine confirmed the attack on the military airfield in the occupied crimea at night, and local telegram channels published videos and wrote about the explosion in several regions of crimea, as it is claimed, there was a loud noise in the sevastopol region, sakivskyi simferopol region, and in yevpatoria oh, you what a handsome man, according to the media, at the affected base in crimea, there were at least 12 su-24 and su-30 combat aircraft, as well as panzer manpads there there was a training base for upl operators mojahair it is these drones that the russian federation uses to

coordinate its own air attacks. well , as well as a strike combat drone, the occupation authorities have not yet made any comments to the ministry of defense of the russian federation, only reported the shooting down allegedly 19 drones in crimea, i will add that the day before the general staff reported that a successful strike had been carried out on the command post of the black sea fleet of the russian federation near the village of verkhnosadove near the temporarily occupied sevastopol well, today the first satellite images from this area have already appeared, journalists of the scheme project report about damage to at least one building, part of which was completely destroyed well, according to the map of military facilities of radio liberty, there is 744 communications center of the black sea command the fleet of the russian federation, referee chubarov, the head of the mejlis of the ukrainian-tatar people, joins our broadcast, mr. refate. my greetings. good evening to everyone. there were explosions in the crimea during the last

two days, how did they affect what is happening on the occupied peninsula , maybe the local media are writing something, what do you know about it? local media means only the occupation media, if we talk about the media as such, these are propaganda channels . well, newspapers are also published separately, which are completely taken care of by the russian occupiers, and it is clear that they avoid all of these cases are connected with the use of drones or missiles at military facilities in crimea, but what else is it going through public telegram channels? well, we are trying to check something with people

who live in the crimea, you are now talking about verkhnesadovo or its historical name, which is near sevastopol , we checked here immediately after the attack, we didn’t know, we didn’t know the details, but we learned about a lot of cars ambulance and transport of the wounded, including the seriously wounded, to local hospitals and then some time later they received information from the special services of ukraine about the fact that there was destroyed a military unit that is directly connected to the black sea fleet of russia and

yesterday's attacks on the airfield, the military saki airfield was hit today, you know, from the okupa side, they launched such a propaganda attack that they say that nothing was damaged there, that all this is far-fetched, but hey, well, objective data says that what are the planes that were at this airfield, they are also damaged and another military equipment is also damaged, you know. we noticed today that the further away , the fewer videos appear from the occupied crimea . well, we actually connect this with the fact that the occupiers have increased the pressure on the civilian population, because they announced an increase in punishment for filming and publishing

explosions in crimea, what is known about this pressure on the civilian population, what actions are taken by the occupiers, well, in addition to the fact that they apply those er repressive norms that are er in their er normative or some other acts, they still widely apply well people of local supporters of russia who simply monitor all of this network, the internet network, and as soon as someone used it, to the point where they find out where this person lives, that is, they conduct an investigation and they force these people to publicly apologize and then they are already dealt with by the punitive services of the er russian er occupiers . it is clear that people after what happened to them

, that is, the society that monitors what happens to people who are . society is afraid of it no one wants to be publicly humiliated on camera, because people, if they don't apologize, they're just in great danger for them, for their relatives, they mentioned that after yesterday's attack on crimea, many occupiers were brought to local hospitals, because it's true, because i saw such information that most of the medical facilities of the peninsula now generally serve the military, and it is precisely with medical care that it has also become more difficult. that is why we are different er when events happen er well, such events that er lead to injuries

people, it is clear that they are immediately placed in the nearest such hospitals and then they may be moved somewhere in the hospital. but it is clear that all the doctors in crimea work in civilian hospitals, they are always the last of such mobilization at any moment can come and pick them up and force them to examine and treat those who serve in the russian army , there are such cases when, especially from medical specialties that are in great demand , civilian doctors are forced to examine and

treat military and i want to ask you about me today i saw an interview from a representative of the migration service, and in it he informs that the migration service observes that the natives of the autonomous republic and the age of 19-25 are increasingly arriving in mainland ukraine , we know that it is a difficult way to get from crimea to mainland ukraine in order to issue their the first passport of a citizen of ukraine, and this trend is observed for the first time after the full-scale invasion . what do you associate this trend with, considering that people who apply for ukrainian passports have been under the influence of russian propaganda for 10 years now, this indicates that people do not want, let's say, to distance themselves from ukraine, they feel like they are citizens of ukraine and they could, i'm talking here , you know, frankly, only these young people , but they find themselves

third countries. and we understand that they found themselves thanks to the russian passports that they were forced to take. otherwise, they simply would not have been able to live in crimea, and in order to avoid mobilization, they urgently left crimea and ended up in different countries, and that simply there in these countries, well, let's say to arrange their lives, they could arrange themselves in accordance with russian passports, especially in such countries as kazakhstan or turkey , yes, they also get to the united states with such documents, but they still want to have the path of adult life began with a ukrainian passport, indeed these people who are now there somewhere in 20 years, they were children

when crimea was occupied, they have now grown up and now they need to get a passport according to our law, the first a citizen of ukraine must receive a passport upon reaching the age of 18 or older directly on the territory of ukraine and regardless of what they arrive here and submit documents for a passport of a citizen of ukraine with all rights and obligations including about er, well, service in the armed forces of ukraine, they know this, but they come and issue a passport. this is good, they started pushing such a positive thing

. we are in direct contact, thank you. volodymyr zelenskyi will meet with us president joe biden in washington today. we are representatives of the congress and the senate. i would like to remind you that the visit is part of zelenskyi's trip to the united states for the un general assembly meeting, which is ongoing these days in new york, where the ukrainian president will make a speech on tuesday, and the day before he had a speech at the security council, among other things, zelenskyi already had a bilateral meeting with the israeli prime minister not the same berry and the president of brazil luna de silgo, i will add that the visit of the ukrainian guarantor to washington will fall at the moment when congress will discuss president biden's request to allocate up to 24 billion dollars for military and humanitarian aid to ukraine . well, the actual debate on this matter is predicted to be difficult, because approximately one third of the republicans , 70 congressmen, are generally in favor of ending arms supplies to ukraine, actually today took place a meeting with zelenskyi and

congressmen the ukrainian president has already arrived at the congress well, actually, i will add and now political scientist kateryna andarchenko is joining our broadcast and kateryna, good evening, good evening, see you soon. i will immediately add that the actual meeting at the congresses has already ended and the president of ukraine has already left for the pentagon, where he also met with the villain ostin, and our colleagues from european pravda report that during the meeting with congressmen in the capitol, the president called for the approval of additional funding for ukraine, and actually , the leader of the democratic majority in the senate , chak-shomer, summed up zelensky's speech

with one phrase, and literally, if we don't get help, we will lose the war, says the democrat at the same time, we know that mccartney mccarthy did not change his opinion. and in general, what is the background against which these speeches of the president are taking place, and what can be done to convince the republicans, those who do not support military aid to ukraine , the continuation of military aid in these carpathians. thank you for the question. it is very appropriate . you know this year will be difficult why because the issue of foreign policy becomes an issue of the election campaign is obvious and well, this is not an exception. let's say it is even more difficult , yes, advocacy and the promotion of interests in ukraine. the same situation existed at one time with by israel. yes, when this issue of foreign aid and influence in the region becomes a political issue now because of the publicists

, some of them say in general that they are not ready to approve budgets, even ready to go to such a shutdown. financing the work of the state machine because they do not agree with a number of elements of economic policy there , well, in general, the democrats, that is, my first thesis about the fact that such a position is not exclusively related to the ukrainian issue it is connected with a big discussion on the economy, and i think that zelensky's speech at the un general assembly and today's meeting is also a big conference or analytical center, the center of our strategy, which i am now at, about economic development here. there are more than 100 investors, all these measures at one point are actually being done in order to strengthen the support of the two parties, and i will say that the situation is not so pessimistic

because, after all, the issue of providing additional weapons remains with the two party support yes, and i hope that the budget discussion despite such difficult, you know, electoral elements, it also continues positively, and these meetings today, yes, and such related meetings in other areas will only help this . well, again, we do not know all the details speech of the president, but we know for sure about the informational noise, so to speak, that was before zelenskyi's speech, it was about the fact that the speech will allegedly be closed, some media wrote that the speaker of the house of representatives is on the map against the fact that the ukrainian president spoke in front of everyone and what can be related to such organizational issues, that is, the question is whether there are organizational issues or political moments, well, now, any speech, especially what concerns, well, again, the political element of the election campaign

of presidential candidates which are related to foreign aid, it becomes an internal question. well, as a political technologist, i will tell you a campaign . yes, yes, yes. well, zelenskyi still has a lot of experience and influence. he likes, uh, american voters and people support him. people have denounced ukraine a lot. that is, they give their money to public organizations, of course. well, this speech, i believe, will be a plus for the democratic party, because the elections from the democratic party clearly support additional financing of ukraine at the same time . well, it may be possible to convince some ndp. have party affiliation, they support the democrats for one year and the republicans for one year, remember that there is always a struggle in those states that do not have a clear political appeal, so it seems to me

that this is connected precisely with the election campaign on today, although there are some rather unpleasant questions related to reform and the fight against corruption, well, they are talking about it at a number of expert platforms precisely from the point of view of reforms, and in my opinion, this is also a healthy discussion , which should be because we have to move in different directions the figure of the reform should be moved by the whole society rather quickly. kateryna , how critical is it to shift to your side? is it even realistic that those 70 congressmen who are against and what approaches do you think the ukrainian government can seek towards the republicans? historically, if we look at the position of the republicans when russia annexed crimea, they also supported the provision of weapons, and by the way, the republicans historically supported

vector , namely the provision of additional weapons. well, the ukrainian side, and well, officially as diplomacy. yes, but
