glad to see you on our air. good evening, to each other, mr. serhiy. mr. roman, let's start the situation in the eastern direction, because the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reports that the russian invaders are trying to break through the defenses of the ukrainian military in the avdiyivka district. the military says that during the day in the direction of avdiivka, 20 enemy attacks were repulsed in the district settlements of avdiivka, lastochkine, tonenke, pervomaiske. donetsk region, what is happening there now, i understand that the russians decided to take the audio avdiyivka is the gateway to donetsk, well, the situation there is threatening, because i think the enemy, well, we saw in general, strategically, that the enemy tried to look for weak points and actions in the east, first the kupyansk-limansk direction, now adiivskyi, he is trying somehow withdraw our reserves.

well, to find some kind of victory for yourself, to achieve some kind of success, of course, when everyone looks at the map, you don’t need to be a great strategist, when we see that avdiivka is on such a semi-ring and semi-encirclement, if you can say so, and of course, what if there the enemy succeeds in some directions, then in order not to be encircled, we will need to withdraw our troops, and the enemy immediately has a large amount of territory, so they decided to attack there, and in parallel they attack in maryanka, as well, well go, well, they don’t push, and they also try to make attacks on kupyansko- lymansky, they don’t, they didn’t stop, so we see how our defense forces destroy the enemy there during his attacks, quite successfully, and but the enemy is still trying to press for in order to to succeed, under avdivka.

the russian federation has transferred three new brigades, four battalions are no longer combat-ready, this was stated by kombrikh vadim sukharevsky, in the washington post, in an interview he said that the russians are transferring new forces there and are trying to surround the city from the south and north, which the strategic communications coordinator of the national security council of the united states of america, john kirby , says that the ukrainians continue to fight very hard in the counteroffensive, and let's hear what kirby said. ukrainians continue to fight very hard on the counter-offensive as winter is fast approaching and time is not our ally here, but we will no doubt continue to help ukraine with the weapons and military equipment it needs. and now we are conducting consultations in congress about additional aid for ukraine and israel. i believe that the congress has sent a clear

signal both to putin that we will continue to help ukraine and to the israeli people that we are with them. mr. colonel, what is the army lacking now on the eve of winter and in what way, the armed forces can secure themselves in the positions they are in, because it is clear that the rains will continue, the snow will continue and the ground will freeze, which will happen to the east and south. on the fronts, of course, the activity of hostilities will decrease, but this does not mean that we will not be able to advance, or the enemy will not be able to carry out any offensive actions, of course, we have passed the winter and in general the beginning of the war has shown that in conditions even in winter, you can conduct combat operations, yes, they are limited by various factors in their use unmanned aerial vehicles, cold, fighters, roads are impassable, you can drive only in specific directions, you cannot normally... turn around, deploy

forces and means, because the fields are still swampy and very difficult to pass, but in some directions everything is possible well, to conduct combat operations, and if they are chosen correctly, therefore, but the activity at the same time really decreases , what do we need for this, well, first of all, we have to have a normal to continue to have a reserve, artillery, this is what is needed directly, if we we are talking about the battlefield where our defense forces defend our country, artillery now we know is such a big deterrent on the battlefield, and fpv , fpv, let's say drones, reconnaissance, fpv, strike and drones of all kinds, because they are now the main means of impression technology, whatever didn’t object or didn’t want to see drones, they generally exceed all means of technical impression, this is a fact, if we are talking about more serious things, we understand

that russia will try to strike at us , there will not be such a large expenditure in terms of ammunition, as it is now in summer and spring period and even autumn. russia will store these munitions somewhere, they will be in which places of storage, and here is our task , from my point of view, to have the ability to strike at these logistical, hubs, let's call them, or logistical, at warehouses, for this, of course, we need missiles of at least 300 km, which are there, and of course, of course anti-aircraft fire, this is what we need in order to protect. our warehouses, protect our civilian infrastructure and critical infrastructure, i think that as of winter we need air defense to protect our

infrastructure, that is, the main thing is artillery to deter the enemy, on the battlefield, and missiles, well, they call them long-range, they are not long-range, but such that at least hit 300, 200-300 km so that the enemy could not prepare... by next year could not bring up its reserves and warehouses with weapons, well, you mean the german missiles, including the taurus, which have been called taurus attacks for so long, because everyone calls them long -range, well, in the classification, they are generally military , they are not long-range missiles, they are not even short-range, they are tactical missiles, because we know that, i have already said more than once, we are used to saying long-range missiles, the latest f16 aircraft, a tank coalition, that is, we somehow exaggerate what we have, and somehow we want it to look more modern, first of all we have to look at things realistically, well, it is absolutely obvious that the long-range missiles there are 1000 km, well, i will tell you 100, these are considered

short-range missiles, this is short-range, small, yes, further average goes up to 500 and already goes from five well, long-range, well, despite the absence of these german taurus missiles, the special operations forces still continue to work in the rear, in melitopol, this morning on october 13 they blew up the railway tracks and thereby made it difficult for the russian invaders to supply ammunition and fuel to their troops in this direction of the front, a damaged railway track and a train that delivered ammunition and fuel for the armed forces of the russian federation, well, by the way, he carried weapons here by train, and there he carried all the looted grain and everything, everything, everything else that was in the warehouses that they seized, how do you assess the prospect of cutting this land corridor, which russia has been striving for since the 14th

year, i remember all these analytical reports that russia in any case, it will go and will cut the land corridor to crimea, because they needed water to the peninsula. because they had to create a land corridor, and not just build a bridge there from the taman peninsula to kerch, and it is clear that this land corridor is strategically important for russia, and it is strategically important for us, in order to cut off supplies to the russians, all supplies, i think they are already building a second branch of the railway there and are building another highway to tokmak. period? well, here, we can say that when we are talking about the same atakons missiles, if we are talking about missiles, the latest attaks, which hit at 300 km and which, they have a deviation radius of up to 3 m, this is

exactly what , which allowed us and can and can help us somehow change the situation on the battlefield, in fact, now we see that it has spread across the zaporizhzhia region. railway system, but you can go there only through the kerch bridge from crimea, in fact, because there is only one branch to the regional coal mines, it does not work, and in fact they go through the crimean bridge, through the crimea, pass the isthmus and then already they deliver to tokmat, melitopol, kakhovka, then they begin to re-deliver... its ammunition and so on, they use the railway very widely, russia is, in general, probably one of the few countries in the world, which is precisely for

military, its potential, uses the railway itself, because a large country, in order to deliver, their roads are not very good, so they use the railway, this in principle gives them the opportunity to quickly accumulate, excuse me, their logistical capabilities, that's right , if we are talking about atakums missiles and the crimean bridge, if destroyed, it will be a big problem for the entire southern group of the russian federation, then they will need to use highways, and it is not so easy, it is a big expense and in general big losses for the russian federation, so of course for us, going back to your question, it is very important to cut off this land corridor to the sea of ​​azov, and on the way to that, to cut it, it would be very important to destroy the crimean bridge, this will give us other opportunities in general, in order to move forward, and the destruction of railway tracks is, of course, very important

, and the guys are well done, but in modern conditions, we, we passed in the kherson direction, there is a keyring distance, when even before the annexation, in there are already repair crews there, which are literally there in a day, or maybe even less , if the track is simply destroyed by subversive means, they repair it, so these things need to be done systematically and, of course, in such conditions, it is very difficult for the reconnaissance group, then, if after the first execution of the task, somehow confederately to be with the usual forces and means, then of course it is necessary to be strategic, if we destroy this bridge, we will take a big advantage. well, all the more so because general budanov constantly says that this is an extra element in kerch strait, and it should not be there, so let's still hope that this bridge will fly into the air. when we talk about... the prospect of war, and president zelensky quite often says that this war will be long enough, and that it is necessary

to prepare for a marathon after all, for such a long marathon, we are talking about mobilization, about mobilized russians and in general, how many of them are there, on that immeasurable part of the earth, and we understand that they are three or four times more than us. at the same time, the representative of gur vadym skibits of the ministry of defense of ukraine says that in russia everything is ready for mass open mobilization, but they cannot announce it. let's hear what skibitsky said. all lists of possible mobilized persons have been clarified, all this has been transferred to electronic records, in addition, the requirements of the legislation of the criminal code of the russian federation for evasion of military service have been strengthened, significantly strengthened. for desertion and other issues, well, the punishment for these issues,

this proves once again that at any moment russia can restore such a powerful the mobilization process on the territory of russia, why did it not do this officially, is there a need, well, apparently, first of all, there is no such need, secondly, the elections of the president of russia, which will take place in the spring of next year, will still have an impact, because mobiles. it is a complex process, it is, accordingly , an influence on the socio-political situation in the territory of russia, but it is also a very powerful blow to the russian economy. the ministry of defense of ukraine has also already announced changes regarding the conscription and work of military doctors commissions, what about the general mobilization about what can await us in the near future, because it is clear that people. who have been at the front for a year and a half or already two years, no, well, in principle

, they cannot be at the front for a long time, someone must change them, what are they saying now in the verkhovna rada and what are the representatives of the ministry of defense of ukraine saying, how will things be deploy, whether we have enough troops now, or not enough, whether there will be additional waves, whether it will all be a general mobilization, what do you say, well, so that the conversations take place precisely about general mobilization, about the fact that the floodgates will open there tomorrow and everyone will be caught on the street and sent to the army, of course there are no such conversations, but the fact that a mobilization resource is needed, there are constant conversations about this, we are receiving signals about this that at the front and for the formation of new units, in particular, for the replenishment of units that must take part in hostilities, it is necessary to demobilize people, so it is a very difficult

issue, and we see that the first year there were volunteers who went there themselves, and now with each every month it becomes more and more difficult to recruit the certain number of people needed to equip, well, first of all, there are new units and replenish the losses, so it is true that we understand that protecting the country is the duty of everyone - different approaches to this, and i have already said more than once myself that this war is no one's fault, and we have to understand this, we have to understand that we have a choice, or bend... and become a satellite of the russian federation and return to its sphere impact, as there they are malorossiy or there it is inferior, or to win its independence, let's say to prove that we are a nation that has the right to sovereignty, to

independence, to existence, but unfortunately it has to be proved on the battlefield, as for those guys who are on the battlefield, yes , i agree, those who from the first days, i agree that their, it is difficult for them, and they ask questions, often, about, and until when we, yes, until death, until injury, there until 2030 or once again, here they want to hear a specific figure, until when they, and there is an argument right away, and why, what are they doing, others, those who did not join the army, and and but now, unfortunately, as far as i know, there is no one to trade, but from my point of view it is necessary to call for the formation of units there, call for those who could at least on a rotational basis of these guys, give them the opportunity to rest, there for a month or two, three, well, as many as possible, if there is such a thing, and these units have to go and change them, of course, you can say that these are prepared

units, that’s all, but in war it is difficult to sit for even one day, sit under... shelling, i'm not saying two years, like some brigades, in the donetsk direction, or in others directions are almost constantly in the combat zone and practically do not leave the front edge, they conduct rotations there at the expense of internal reserves, the commanders there at the expense of the fourth battalions that were introduced into the state, so that three are fighting there, one is on rest, but it is still the same , let's say, the measures that we use in the conditions of war , that's why we need to think and do and understand, if we enter a marathon, we need to understand how we will give people a rest. over the past five days, the escalation of hostilities in the middle east, the russians quite often used this rhetoric, saying that the weapons that were on the russian-ukrainian front were going to

the middle east, including to hamas militants, however, today putin said that he doubts that there were possible deliveries from ukraine to hamas, let's listen to what putin said, i doubt that weapons were delivered from ukraine , i doubt it, but i do not doubt that there is a leakage of weapons from ukraine, well , the level of corruption in ukraine is known, mr. colonel, putin, well, usually says. lies as they say, but in this case, when he talks about the fact that the weapons that were on the battlefield in ukraine, which were given by representatives of the western countries, that they can go, well, either to russia, or to the near east, how likely is that, and where is the question of trophy weapons that can

get to them, and about weapons that someone somewhere can sell or from... give for money, well, look, the question here is that , well, theoretically, weapons that go to ukraine, if someone is there somewhere, if it has not yet entered ukraine, then someone there can take it somewhere send it away, theoretically, we all know, we do not idolize anyone, we understand that our partners supply it to us, well, it is so, if we speak theoretically, but it is very unlikely from my point of view, because we have a level of control , who controls almost all the weapons there in terms of the order of their entry through the border and the order of their already being in ukraine, so the weapons that are there, i am sure, we also talked about this with some representatives of the special services, yes, indeed, some weapons get to the enemy there in the hands, because well on the battlefield, in particular or with

captured or with our dead boys, sometimes at the beginning of the war we saw that even the russians near kiev took javelins as prisoners, so they have these weapons and an operation was carried out, we understand who is standing, whose ears are sticking out, as well as behind the aggression of hamas, including, the russians hand it over to them in order to discredit ukraine and then blame the level of corruption, and everything in this plan, so of course we understand that putin simply does not say anything, and of course that these weapons are easily could get from the russians to terrorists, and we know that in the early 2000s, in 2002, ukraine was accused of supplying weapons to iraq, and this was under sanctions, that is, they apparently violated international international rules, and then it turned out that chain mail , about which it was said that four units of our chain mail got there, later it turned out that this was not true, but this caused a quarrel between the then ukrainian

leadership and the west, kuchma was a person with whom they did not want to talk, well, not only because of the honadz case , because of the murdered journalist, but we are now witnesses of how the world is unfolding, unfolding... hostilities, that is, the middle east, we see that north korea and south korea are on the verge, north korea hints that it can strike south korea, we see that it is not easy the situation in africa, we see a difficult situation in taiwan, general budanov predicts that these are the regional conflicts that we are now witnessing and participating in, that this is architecture. future global war, where there will be an axis of evil, relatively speaking, or countries of autocracy will fight

with the countries of democracy or civilization, how do you see this situation and how will it affect the russian-ukrainian war, because the united states of america says that in one package they will now consider the issue of providing aid and weapons to ukraine and israel, but if these points on the map are hot, three or four, for the united states of america, it will also be a challenge , of course, because they will not leave taiwan, and they will not leave south korea, and in africa, if it will be necessary, there will also be an aircraft carrier near the coast of africa group, uh, will the potential of democratic states, group of democratic states, uh, be enough to overcome a group of autocratic states? well, you see how it all started, when the world closed its eyes to the annexation of crimea, in fact

, closed its eyes to the annexation of our eastern territories and tried to somehow politically appease the tyrant there, and as a result, we see that now the whole world is starting to appear on the maps hot spots, if we are talking specifically about the supply of weapons and whether this will somehow affect ukraine, it will depend on many factors, but if we take now conflicts, the war declared by israel, and we see the forces for and the means that are now against it, well, hamas directly, then i am sure that we also see that israel has enough of its forces in order to settle and quickly repel its territory and are now already conducting a counter-terrorism ground operation, they... completely theirs, they have complete dominance in the air, they have equipment, tanks, artillery, everything, and even on the territory of israel there are

artillery depots of the united states, which in of them are placed there, and as far as i know that the united states has already given them permission to use these artillery munitions, so it is not such a big conflict that you need to give as many weapons as you can . country, but if other muslim states begin to enter the conflict, i will not list them now, but who knows the history that israel has always fought with all its neighbors, if one of them dares now, well there, say, on behalf of iran or others countries to enter the war, then of course there will be completely different schedules, completely israel has other needs and a completely different need, help will be needed, we will have to think about it, and if we are talking, we will be talking about the same south-north korea, this is also an important issue for the

united states, because it is the guarantor of the south korea, there is a contingent of the united states, troops, there are their radar installations, which are there specifically to detect strategic missiles that can fly, so there are already troops there and it is quite difficult to imagine, that byeongyang, realizing that there are bases of the united states will be able to strike the same south korea, then i think it will be a matter of declaring war on the united states, but anything can happen , we see that the leaders are conspiring now, the same kinchan used to come to russia and communicate, and we do not know what are they for agreed, but the fact that he went there, he was shown su, well, modern russian weapons , if you can call them that, fighters, fleet, missiles, may indicate that russia will

transfer, or is already ready ... samples or some technology for them to have the possibility of either making them or using them. mr. colonel, the world that existed before february 24 , 22, it did not cease to exist, that is, the security system does not work, which worked, all international agreements, all international law, are simply also in question in principle, because the countries of the so-called axis ... not evil, they simply ignore international law, in your opinion, as a result of the current wars, i say in the plural , because obviously, in parallel, there are two wars in the world now, to which attention is drawn, which as a result of these wars has figures, what security system, whether let's say, maybe this security system will be all concentrated around nato, because we see

the inactivity of the united nations organization not only in the case of ukraine, but also with israel, now it is difficult to say, definitely the security system will be changed, definitely we must review organizations that guarantee this security, we see that the un is a non-functioning organization, just like the league of nations was before it, so we see that the system works until one of the countries specifically does not... starts breaking the rules and then it is just this system, well, it just is, it does not bring any benefit , everyone uses it simply as a platform to defend their actions, what we see is done by the russian federation, despite the fact that everyone understands who is the aggressor and what it does, but at the same time it has the right to veto, it has the right to speak, it also has the right to blame other countries and to manipulate and

influence. on other countries in different ways, so of course all this will change, and of course the structure of such organizations must be changed with their veto rights, with their e-e different rights to primacy directly in these countries, what the system will be, it is difficult to say now, but what for the nearest, well, i said 50, but i think at least 30-40 years, even if these wars end quickly, then we will have something like the cold war, when all countries will no longer simply refuse there, we remember the same germany, where trump wanted to withdraw from nato, because germany promised to spend 2% there on defense, spent half a percent there, and i i think that the opposite will happen now, that countries will increase and the world will arm itself, unequivocally, new weapons will appear, new factories will appear

, first of all... countries and nato will arm themselves, and i think some new alliances will appear, in particular small countries that understand the threat to they will hang there in the event that some wrong political force comes to power in such countries as the russian federation, belarus and others. thank you, colonel, it was roman kostenko, colonel of the security service of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we work live on the tv channel, as well as on ours platforms on youtube and facebook, for those who are currently watching us on youtube, we are finalizing the survey, we are asking you today how long do you think it will be until the war in ukraine ends, so it has been a few years 49% of our viewers who watched us on youtube, 32% a year, a few months 15% and 4% a month, these are the results of our survey, friends, this was the verdict program , congratulations serhii rudenko, i wish you a good

weekend, take care of yourself and your family, see you on monday, goodbye , israel ordered a million palestinians to move from the north of the gaza strip to the south, and gave it 24 hours, israel says it wants to destroy the hamas group after militant attacks, we are talking about this war on bbc news ukraine live from london. i am yevgenia shedlovska. the israeli military scattered such leaflets over gaza. millions of people were ordered to evacuate within a day. such a warning before an attack. however, the un and international organizations say it is impossible to do? and
