criticize aid to ukraine? well, the invitation to come to kyiv is the beginning. it is difficult to orientate here, actually , what can be done in this, at this stage in the election race, in order not to present ukraine as one that will embrace one of the parties in the internal affairs of the united states. that is, you have to maneuver very carefully here. we know that at the end of the day, very rarely does the american electorate vote on the basis of foreign policy, it will primarily be a matter of domestic policy, although it becomes it is already obvious that the issue of us aid to ukraine will still be politicized, it will still become one of the issues of the election campaign, and that is why you are conducting it, it seems to me.

some more silent consultations are political rather than making any public statements, this is probably a more reliable diplomatic way at this stage, only because in such a polarized, politicized situation, it is very easy to get into such a mess, and to say something that then it can be used against... and haleps have already happened, unfortunately. i love you very much thank you, maryana budzherin, senior researcher at the belfer center, harvard kennedy school, was on radio liberty, we talked about the relationship between ukraine and the united states, how they can change in the light of the war in israel, and in the light of the upcoming american elections. thank you very much. thank you. well, now israel, the fifth day of the war in israel, they continue to the country. reservists are returning,

the broadcast itself on youtube and there will be a qr code constantly under the time of our conversation. well, now let 's see what happened at the front in recent days, and then. let's move on to the discussion, the combat map for the period 4-1 in october 2023, near tokmak, the armed forces of ukraine have new victories. the defense forces again landed an amphibious assault in krem, conducted a number of successful operations in the kherson region and had success in zaporizhzhia and near bakhmut. the counteroffensive in the tokmat direction, the significant saturation of the front by our brigades is beginning to give results, where the occupiers tried earlier. to attack the armed forces gained territorial success. in particular , north of novoprokopivka, as well as on both flanks of our counteroffensive. the largest defense of the russians began to sink into the kopani district villages. the armed forces managed to break through the defenses of the east from the village, as well as on its northern outskirts,

where it was possible to recapture a number of plantations on the advanced line of the enemy's defense. thus, the defense forces created a threat of cutting off the rushes, which paid off near nesteryanka. at noon finished, our heroes continue to make their way to the dominant heights, and also fight on the northern outskirts of novoprokopivka. the general staff reports little tactical success in this area. analogously, positive news comes from the left flank of the counteroffensive, where the zsu advanced somewhat north of verbovoy. tokmak itself is under the fire control of our artillery, which recently destroyed two large equipment bases and weapons warehouses, in particular on the outskirts of tokmek, as well as 30 km from the front line in the village of svitle. in addition, near tokmek, our soldiers managed to track down and destroy an armored train loaded with russian military equipment. counteroffensive in crimea. last week, ukrainian special forces landed for the second time on the western coast

of crimea. according to budanov, during the successful operation, our heroes destroyed many enemies, although they themselves suffered losses. however, the very fact of the second landing in a row in crimea causes a panic reaction in the kremlin. also, our special operations forces carried out simultaneous successful landings on the tendriv and kinbur spits in the kherson region. in addition, during the week. pilots regularly carried out strikes in the sevastopol area and other settlements in the depths of the peninsula. as a result of one such strike, the armed forces managed to destroy the secret base of the russian intelligence headquarters in dzhankoi. the enemy black sea fleet continues to flee from the peninsula in the direction of novorossiysk and abkhazia. avdiyivka the city is constantly under heavy fire from the occupiers, who managed to break through our positions west of krasnogohorivka this week. everything is wrong. to hold the line of defense along the junction to novokalynovoy. however, for now , the massive tank offensive of the occupiers in

the direction of stepny was repulsed. the constant attempts of the occupiers to advance from experience in order to regain the lost positions that the armed forces took in september remain unsuccessful. battle for bahmud. in several areas in the andriyivka area, the armed forces succeeded move to the other side of the railway embankment and secure yourself. in addition, the defense forces are conducting an offensive south of andriivka in the direction. zelenopilya and kurdyumivka. to the north of klishchiivka, our military is knocking out the invaders from the forest massif in order to gain access to the southern regions of bakhmut. at the same time, the rashists brought significant reinforcements to klishchiivka and are trying to counterattack. during the week, counter-attacks took place north of bakhmut in bohdanivka and orihovo-vasylivka districts, but without progress. luhansk region the armed forces of the russian federation conducted another attempt at a massive attack. in the district of makiivka, half way between svatov and kremina. despite the slight advance of the enemy

within the gray zone, the offensive itself failed, because our soldiers managed to burn 25 enemy tanks in four days. in addition, russian social networks are replete with headlines about the successes of their army near kupyansk, which seems to be less than a kilometer away after the capture of senkivka. however , there is no real advance on this part of the front. the armed forces of ukraine manage to restrain, prevail. the forces of rashist, we win daily, death to the enemies. well, i can add to this that in fact the intensity of skirmishes with the enemy has increased very much , literally in the last couple of days, that is, if in the evening, yesterday, there were 75 skirmishes with the rashists per day, then already in the morning today it's 106, it's a lot, and the last time, such tacos, such a number. was during the russian offensive on bahmud, well, that is, it is

very, very much, and what does this indicate, that the russians, that the russians started some an attempt, or an attack or something, which , well, i think, we'll talk more, well, we have radion kudryashov on the phone now, he's the deputy... of the command of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine near bakhmut. greetings radion. i wish you and the audience good health. i congratulate you. rodion, tell me, do you feel any intensification of actions by the enemy, or is everything the same as it was before, because for example near avdiyivka there we record an increase in intensity, in the direction of kupyansk as well, is this exactly what is happening to you ? well , look, regarding the bakhmut direction, i will say

so that bakhmut and the surroundings is such a specific and quite direction, it differs in the literal sense of the word from other directions, there is a very large dynamic and directly, sorry for the taftology, the intensity of hostilities, that is, here as a separate universe, here the enemy uses a very large number of infantry , a very large number of artillery means, ammunition, in them, that is why the tense situation here, since the beginning of the winter of this year, in general, the enemy, after the recent armed forces of ukraine, namely the capture of andriivka, mastering the nickname, does not stop trying to regain its lost position, because the armed forces have organized a certain gap in the defense line, which runs directly from bakhmut to horlivka itself, and the enemy

is trying to press, but i will say that the enemy does not have success and strength continue to successfully carry out the task of sustainable defense, what can you say now about the course of hostilities in your country, well, from what you can make public, because, well, we saw that somewhere we crossed the railway track and gained a foothold , but this for now all we can say, maybe you can add something else, there is something i can say, and let's say this, what is new, so that you understand the dynamics today, is that the war has changed quite a lot since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, today the enemy is building up a lot in the direction of unmanned aerial vehicles, ee strike drones, strike guided munitions and drones of the first person viu type, er, this makes it very difficult

for the armed forces of ukraine to advance, it makes it very difficult to carry out tasks in general, it does not mean that we are armed forces behind us too, we have certain ones successes and build-up, but the dynamics themselves, the picture itself changes a lot in any way, and well, with the help of such modern, ultra-precise types of damage, does your enemy now use more, well, armored vehicles, because for example, these shots are known in this, i will try an assault himself with an armored vehicle under avdiivka, when this enemy armored vehicle was destroyed. well, to tell the truth, for some time we have not seen such efforts on their part, what do you have in this regard? i will say this, that once again i emphasize that bakhmut, the bakhmut direction is such a different universe, well, regarding recent actions the enemy, for example, in this direction, well, this is not the end of summer, the enemy tried to break through the defense lines of the armed forces

of ukraine with tank columns, then the enemy was still fighting for the preservation of andrivka and the tick. and then he used modern tanks in columns with landing forces and was not successful. today, he has no success in andriyivka, this only means that the armed forces of ukraine are quite firmly on the defensive, and today, any, shall we say, breakthroughs in the format of dynamics, of the enemy, they simply become impossible. can you somehow in detail... describe the situation under the tick, well, if we talk about the tick, then it is exactly this, a village that is difficult to call a village, there is nothing left of the village, like on andriivka, in principle, er, it is such a big pile of stones,

the enemy is trying 24/7 to inflict a fire damage in order to prevent the armed forces of ukraine from fully establishing a foothold with... the armed forces of ukraine from fully forming a bridgehead for further , including offensive actions, and under such 24/7 shelling, the execution of combat tasks takes place directly in keys andriiivtsi, well, that is, the situation is quite difficult, a very great honor and respect directly to those people, those military personnel, soldiers, sergeants and officers who perform the tasks. this is a great feat, well, we all know, in principle, that it is very much a matter of this and these battles, in particular, of taking control of the route and the possibility of transporting everything there that the russians are trying to bring to the battlefield, a - er, also

, well, if they don't take control of the highway, then, after all, whether they can operate theirs quite freely. delivery options, now, how would you rate it, look, the proximity of the logistics arteries of the logistics connections, it makes it difficult for the russian federation to supply ammunition, rear reserves, weapons to the front, including there, yes, if we are talking about the city of bakhmud, but this does not make it impossible to hold. directly in the city, so the key to success is not only in cutting the logistical routes, but also directly in squeezing the enemy out of their... from his front front edge, so it's quite such a combined situation, regarding the situation

now on the logistics connection, directly on the track, yes, horlivka bakhmut, it is partially under control, well, in what format, there is confirmation of damage to equipment on this particular track, but we do not have full control, ugh, and the last thing, what kind of character would it be? war, some kind of bombing attempt on their part, well, that is, how would you say now, look at the character, there are two main advantages of the enemy , that is, a large number of personnel, mobilization potential, well, that is, orcs, which they throw at the front edge, and a large number of artillery means and generally means of destruction, in

including ammunition, it is in such a combination that the enemy has been working since the beginning of a large-scale invasion , that is, using a large number of infantry on equipment, without equipment, with artillery support, without artillery support, they are able to combine, having such advantages, plus to all this there is a certain... trend towards the development of the build-up, specifically the story related to the drones, which in principle reinforces these two advantages, like uh, a lot of ammunition, so a lot of infantry, so the format of the use of troops, the terrorist russian federation, it does not change, they try to take quantity, i.e. throw in manpower, throw shells across the area, and so on and so on, we in turn can only count on quality, because it is obviously our potential, at least mobilization , it is smaller than

of the russian federation, and eh, one way or another, we are also successful, and instead of hundreds of projectiles released by the enemy, we can fire 10-15 and hit the target precisely, so it is precisely the quality and preservation of personnel that the armed forces of ukraine work on, well and, of course , to achieve the goals of de-occupation. our ukraine. thank you, it was rodiyan kodryashov, deputy commander of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine. we wish success to our soldiers, all kinds. thank you for joining us, and ivan is in touch with us now kyrychevsky, military express, military expert defense express. congratulations ivan. we started talking a little about bahmud. let's tell us a little about him. now we can expect some kind of strengthening of the change there, because later i want to talk to you about avdiivka itself and what

is surrounding it, but it will already end with bakhmut, what can we continue to wait there, will there be any change in hostilities there , is this an established story for now, i think it will be such an established story for a long time, well, purely because that we do not yet have the resources for quantitative superiority, moreover, the russians clearly began to advance in other areas in the east precisely in order to try to dilute our reserves, respectively, so that it would not be possible to accumulate the units that are there to try to increase the effect, well, or near the same bakhmut, or maybe, if there is something free, to transfer it to the south, plus even this story about, well, what about the cutting of logistical routes, how it can affect, well, judging by everything, even if our, let's say, our artillery. she shoots more accurately and better than the russian one, but these firearms are clearly not enough to fulfill what these nato instructions call isolation of the theater of operations, that is, to make it so that the enemy

cannot transport anything there, physically, well , only solid ruins from cars, and only then proceed to assaults, therefore, taking into account the fact that there, in principle, our troops have to launch assault actions in the bakhmotsky direction in conditions of numerical superiority of the enemy, well, from those actual figures, as far as moreover, the russians still have a grouping of more than 5,000 units there, although, well, it is constantly replenished , roughly 200 tanks and a thousand armored vehicles, well, the russians have too much of this for us to have any rapid quick results, or even formulate yes, there are too many russians there to expect and demand quick and restrained results from our military, so it is obvious that the siege of the occupiers in the temporarily, well, part, in the temporarily occupied part of bakhmut, well, it will still... will be, well, for a certain long time until we have something like a game changer , or something like a black swan happens to the russians, which

, let's say , will lead to the corrosion of the defense system . picture, it will be there for a long time, ugh, well, let's start talking about what happened during the last couple of days, that is, the intensification, first of all, the intensification of hostilities in the district of avdiivka, so describe it to us this situation in general, what exactly happens next, well, what could it be? well, here we can start with the official data that have already been given, because the official data is a good indication of what forces the rashists apparently tried, tried to advance there yesterday, that is, three battalions with the support of tanks and other armored vehicles, well if on the scale of the tasks that they immediately set themselves, that is, it would be impossible to try to close the encirclement of the surrounding girl behind that square of 12 by 15 km, it looks as if

or russia... they just thought that they had there such a small blitz will turn out and they can cope with the task there, with only three battalions , although there it is necessary, well, they took the scale as a strategic-level operation, that is, they would have to involve several brigades there at once, well, or maybe they deliberately planned to carry out hostilities so that, well, it turns into more of a campaign of attrition, and they, as they calculate their resources, even if they are wrong there, they can think that they will be able to win this campaign of attrition around the avdivka more effectively than we can. ivan, ivan, i'm sorry, what i will interrupt, but you say three battalions, these are some new forces, they pulled up there, or is it all that was there before, do we have any understanding of this? i think that these are the forces that were there before, but which , let's say, the russians managed to prepare, because let 's pay attention, even to that video, which is now very common in our country and goes around, well, on

the one hand, well, that's the story. they clearly tried and tried and tried to go to this crossing clearly from the bridge builder, that is, there was once a bridge there, it was bombed out, and someone put this bridge there with a bridge-builder's car, whether the occupiers or us, well, it looks so comical on the one hand, and on the other hand, as far as i remember, the last time there was such a great aggressiveness in the advance, well, that is, to move , even if everything breaks down there, the path is not logistically prepared, the occupiers demonstrated something like this in march , in february 2020, when they were still, well, undaunted, had no experience of defeat, but rather just passed a certain training, here you can completely skip it, that for this attack the russians used those units that, for example, for recovery after attempts to take avdiyivka in winter or spring, underwent training either on the territory of the russian federation, or on those training grounds that were set up in the temporarily occupied part of the sun of ukraine,

respectively, this resignation can be seen precisely on aggressiveness is achieved, that is, to simply break through the breach, as it were, to eliminate this fear in your head of our anti-tank means or anti-drones, but somehow they have learned this during this time, well, as much as they have learned, of course, we can see the results of their losses, well, in principle, this is also such a record figure for losses, i don't remember such a number for a long time, that is, 34 tanks and more than 90 armored vehicles per day, but the fact that it was prepared by the occupiers is unfortunately a fact. and if they went like that and failed to take any more positions, they will be charged with such a protracted campaign until the task is completed, because obviously the task there now is such that either the achievement of the bodies placed in flint, well, or another generalpath. well, let 's go now, for such a small commercial break, huh then we will continue on the same topic, because it seems to me that this is the most interesting turn in combat actions that is worth

analyzing. so now the advertisement is on the espresso tv channel, stay with us, we will continue to analyze this situation near avdiyivka. ukraine north macedonia on meogo. in the rest of the euro-2024 selection , ukraine's task is clear. victory in every match. on october 14 at 4:00 p.m., support the national team at meogo. forum map. a unique book event , a literary and artistic meeting word in war, exclusive conversations with military personnel by pilgrims and volunteers, a book talk, author presentations, a special children's program, performances by bards, on october 14 and 15 in ivano-frankivsk, the square in front of the drama theater. word in the war on via karpattia in ivano-frankivsk. talented.
