at the front, let's get in touch with him , er, i'll introduce you, i'll also remind you who works for you in this studio, andriy saizhuk, lesya vokulyuk, listen, i want, you know, what to say, very briefly, while there is the possibility of such a media scan, it turns out recently, the president's office invited all kinds of fashionable, so to speak, media and journalists, among those fashionable journalists it turned out to be trukha's telegram channel. and some latchen or something, here, and now there is also some kind of joker there, i don't know who he is, many people subscribe to him, also telegram channels, here he has such a message that from which can be understood that the president's office has already figured out who will be the minister of cultural information policy, that's it it doesn't matter, in general, it will probably be mikhail podolyak, well, at least that's what this joker throws up, at least this joker, who wrote about the fact that mikhail padolyak is in charge all his life.

media, it would be cool if mykhailo podelyak was appointed the minister of information policy and culture, one could say, of course, who is this joker, but people, well, i see that this is a person who, for example, gives budanov his, relatively speaking self-portrait and budanov accepts this self-portrait and hangs it in his office, that is, this is a person from power, i will not be surprised if it is this is a person who rudely answers journalists, says that journalists are a thing of the past. that their media do not read, that telegram channels are their future, but in fact, it is very sad and scary, dear friends, that journalists are not invited to the president's office, but representatives of some telegram, anonymous telegram channels, which you don't understand who is standing, and i remember when i was there, when president zelenskyi became president. he had

one, andriy bohdan, yes, listen, we have one, who said that journalists are not needed to communicate with the authorities, there is no such thing, but his spirit lives on, kostiantyn denisov, a fighter of the legion of freedom is already with us, mr. kostiantyn, good morning to you, good morning, glory to ukraine, i congratulate you and the audience of the press, glory to the heroes, please tell , in which direction are you heading, and what is the situation there now, zaporizhzhia, the region, the situation is tense and difficult, well, in a few words, ours are pressing the enemy, attacking, the enemy is counterattacking, moving hard, art is working on both sides and our, continuously and russian, there are areas where shooting battles are taking place, there for the same gray zone , although today it is a rather conventional concept, it can... from 100 m, there are 400, 500, well

, there is literally nothing there at all, they are trying to knock out ours from those positions that they lost during the course. extreme battles, they actively use aviation, these guided missiles were delivered to them for helicopters, which we literally monitored there, watched, they were adopted only last year, they are hitting our bases, hunting our equipment, plus their artillery constantly covers them, if, well, their paratroopers and special forces go in counterattacks, they cut, they are certainly tough , well, their success is extremely extremely limited, at most they recapture some trench there and then, it happens that they are recaptured, then our artillery covered them and they left again, but actually worked, at least that’s how it looks, at least everything has stopped for now, and we already have one

with us on october 17, and i would venture to guess that in the near future we will not be able to get to take it and so on and so on, and that means that in principle, it can probably be assumed that this year's ukrainian offensive ends where it is currently ending, can you behave with such an assessment, well, look, here it was interrupted from what i understood, firstly, only the name remained from rabotin, huh , this is a small town with a population of less than 500 once before the full-scale war, secondly there are tactical successes and advances in certain areas of the front, they are related to leveling and so that what i said, the russians do not drive us in fire bags, two, each takmak, our arta has already reached it and reached it strong, because it hits both on the takmak and

behind the takmak, destroying russian logistics and their ammunition warehouses, the same western one works very well, but again, it is not what works not because it is so cool, it is western and it was given to us by our partners, but because it is controlled by our skillful cossacks, gunners and our air reconnaissance works well and monitors, records, transmits data about russian positions, and in relation to the direction of events and so on further, the command gives tasks, the legion of freedom fulfills them, that's all, the main thing is for everyone to fulfill the assigned tasks that he receives, then success will be achieved. absolutely, well, i mean, you know, in our country, if people want good news, guaranteed, they go somewhere else and look for it, it's important for us to basically talk to people who are involved in combat and can tell a little bit of the truth about

what's really going on there, and hear an assessment from people who can give their own assessment of what's there, you know, so it's important, it seems to me that it is important for society to know what is happening now on the front lines, what are our chances, because if in reality we start with some, you know, only good news, then society expects that we will take everything, everything we will take it and so on and the like, but then ordinary people on the front line will pay for it, because everyone's expectations are very high, while , for example, in some defense, they could be more useful, they would kill more muscovites. and in general they would leave themselves alive, well, that too there may be such a logic, though, that’s why i’m actually asking this, not because i want to undermine some, i don’t know, logic of the command, or discourage everyone, sow despair and so on and so on, we are just journalists, we just mediators between what is

in reality and what society, which has the right to know reality in order to then make decisions about important matters. should be aware, that's all, and i say this because my brother-in-law, for example, was wounded again yesterday, and he is now in the dnipro in the hospital, and they got 10 fragments out of it, and this is just me saying that there is actually very , very fierce fighting going on, you say that too , after all, here, i've had enough of it, yes, look, you're absolutely right, unfortunately, well, so are we observed, at least twice, when certain commentators, with all due respect to them, gave unreasonable forecasts, results, because of everything there was a kind of information collation, which, let's say, had a negative

impact on the information society, maybe some expectations were inflated, plus there were there are inexplicable omissions, some brawler statements. in fact, you are absolutely right to include the guys from the front, our freedom fighters, from near bakhmut, from near liman, from other points there, because it may be crooked, ugly and not true, but at least we have to understand that is happening, what are the problems, and objectively speaking about the fact that the enemy is learning, the enemy is gaining experience, the enemy is the same there, we are taking the zaporizhzhia region, yes , the same russian motorized rifles are there, which are now standing against us, they are now have set up training grounds in the temporarily occupied territory, they are coordinating their replenishment, they are being delivered the same modernized quadcopters, so it will simply not be easy here and even the problems that we are voicing, and it happens that they even

fly in for this, but we we will voice them so that certain officials, officials, teams and bosses make decisions, and those decisions benefit us, because our prospects in offensive operations and the solution of the same social everyday issues of our boys depend on this, because from a lot depends on this too, now it will be protracted rains for... the weather is deteriorating in the zaporizhzhia region, and there it will also have an impact on this and on the arrangement and on the household and on medicine and on the provision of our boys, that is why we have to talk about it all . mr. kostyantyn, please tell me whether you are involved or invited to the only news marathon, for example, to comment on the situation there? well, i had the opportunity to perform there a couple of times, but there are people who, let's say, invite me there, so for them the question,

if i voiced problematic issues regarding our fallen brothers, who are not issued documents to their families, other problems, if, well, i have nothing to complain about, i understand, you know, i often see, for example, posts by volunteers, say, about , that, people, we have problems, we cannot collect money, or our wards need... one, two, three, there is a huge list of needs of our military, in addition to what they receive, some weapons, and so on, but there are still some such consumables that take over volunteers, and they often write that you should not watch or pay no attention to what is said in the only news marathon, because in reality the reality is different, well, literally today i also happened to post a volunteer about how it is scary in avdiivka, there hell, please, we need to collect some unmanned aerial vehicles

over there and ignore what is said in the only news, why, why, do we still need to pretend that, well, we are fine and we win, and everything is okay, because volunteers, for example, have a harder time somehow to convince people that everything is not so good and that it is necessary to continue to help the military, well, in terms of security, i will say this, freedom bought me a bronic, a shawl, a tourniquet, a first-aid kit, my work colleagues, from where i was mobilized to serve, bought me a copter, a backpack and so on, for support, well, i have it, especially since we are more in a volunteer unit, we found options for providing for ourselves, for those units that are possible sometimes with... requests for support, you know, you have to look, each case is separate, unfortunately it happens like this

cases when they are just lazy, it is also easier to ask for some support services there, it is easier to ask for volunteers, this should also be said, sometimes it is simply simpler, easier, roughly speaking, volunteers are given to someone there, so each case must be analyzed separately, there are different options for involving that or something else for help, there are those volunteers whom i personally trust, i have the opportunity to donate to them, or charitable funds, that is, here i say, each case must be analyzed separately, and regarding what you say, what does someone say there everything is fine, it's wonderful, well, i just told you this said that it is necessary to listen to the different opinions of experts and guys from the front, everyone will draw conclusions at their own level, i was on your air when... i spoke, gave information from the front, in the studio which other expert gave

his expert assessments, there was a balance of opinions, well, the espresso channel ensures it, no one prevents other channels from doing the same, well, let's be frank, well, no one prevents anyone from doing it, they invited, they listened, and the viewers made their own conclusions, that's all, you know , here appeared such a small one mediascan, journalists found out that some representatives of meddy and representatives of the telegram channel were invited to a meeting, a closed meeting with the president... to the president's office, well, that is, it is such an anonymous anonymous telegram channel, who... a person who represents is unclear, but here then, or before that, a post appeared, joker, yes, joker , yes, and he wrote, there is such a photo of mykhailo podolyak and that mykhailo podolyak has been working in the media for a long time, he knows it well, so let's let him be a minister information policy and culture, etc.

literally the person who was responsible for the information component of president yanukovych. i just don’t know if this is a political technologist or if this person can be a minister, and we have a minister, it is called the ministry of information policy and culture, the culture of the subsurface, the culture of information policy, well, that is, but you can see how it is written in the joker , that of information policy, and then there is culture, that is, this is the person who should supervise and be responsible for the media content, here is this post in that telegram channel, for the media content of what takes place in the mediaptor of ukraine, i.e. then i would tell in the only news what the picture of the world looks like in ukraine , that is, i would form some new reality, mr. kostyantyn, yes, regarding information policy, i can speak only for my boys and for myself, what we voice on the air

- this is what we personally saw, personally know, or checked at least from two independent sources, to comment on everyone, other respectable good people, well, this is a little not for us, i can comment on the situation in those areas where our guys are standing, and everyone i call once again to check any information, to maintain information hygiene, because now there are a lot of kyds, russians, russian psoshniks too, they don’t sit back, they also do a lot of kyds, it happened that ukrainian commentators also picked up and spread, but i say, everyone can always check the information , because, well, information war, it is also powerful, so we must observe information hygiene, our national security and the survival of the ukrainian nation ultimately depend on this, thank you, sir

friends, we are returning to ether and serhiy zurets, military expert, director of the defense company, will be with us now. we will analyze the situation at the front. mr. sergey, good morning. good morning, i greet you, mr. serhiy, how would you summarize the situation today, what is happening on our front? well, when we talk about the front line, then in the informational sense, in the sense of combat activity, first of all, two areas now come to the fore, these are precisely the combat operations around avdiyivka and located around kupyansk. when we talk about avdiivka. then despite the fact that the armed forces inflicted significant losses on the enemy in terms of manpower and equipment , there were said to be up to 3,000 dead and wounded and about 300 units of military equipment, as

indicated by our spokesmen regarding russian losses in these areas, then if we look at the earlier general staff meeting, then we see that the enemy continues to conduct combat operations in this direction, there avdiivka and maryanka together, this is about 30 combat clashes over the past day, that is, in fact, it is, well, almost half of the combat clashes along the entire front line over the past 24 hours, which says that the enemy is now mainly using aviation and artillery in order to somehow influence our troops who repelled the enemy and is trying, as i understand it, to accumulate forces and most likely will continue the hostilities around... avdiivka, this direction for the enemy has such a rather sacred meaning political significance, as bahmud once had. well, the second direction is the actions around kupyansk

, if we look at the headquarters of the general staff in the same way, these are again attacks in the direction of senkivka and ivanovka, that is, the enemy is still trying in some way influence our defense, and try to get to the kupinsk junction, but these would have already been done several times during this year, i think that the enemy will not have much success this time, especially since the weather is changing now, it is getting worse, use drones , aviation becomes more difficult, it becomes more difficult to use on ground equipment, so in any case the enemy has such a short window of opportunity to try to conduct offensive actions in this direction, but everywhere we did not take, that is even zaporizhzhia , everywhere the russians are trying to attack. that the ukrainian offensive has really already ended and we should proceed to defensive actions, well, in fact, earlier we also carried out offensive and defensive actions in many directions, that is, we

balanced between offensive and defensive, now really the russian approach is that they believe that they managed to stop the advance of our troops in the south and thus can use the reserves for pressure. in other directions, in order to create the prerequisites for such a russian narrative, as you can see how much technology the west did not give to ukraine, anyway, we restrained it, now we are moving to offensive actions, i think that now this narrative will be dominant in the controlled russian information space, what about our actions in the south, we can see from the assembly of the general staff that there are certain successes west of verbovoy, but...' we understand that now the density of the russian defense in this area is essentially, well, significant and now the question of

our active work again. artillery and expansion of the springboard for the offensive around the work of the infantry with further movement towards the tokmak. no one has filmed this task and i think that likewise, our armed forces are now seeking every opportunity to continue these actions in the most effective manner with minimal loss of personnel. if we actually talk about, about the situation at kupinsky svatov itself, general syrskyi said that about 1,000 russian groups are concentrated there, this is a large force, as far as i understand it, well, when we talk about kupen svetovy crimenato, by the way, that is in the liman direction in the past there were almost no collisions during the day, the military headquarters reports zero collisions, that is just kupyansk, right around kupyansk, there just about 15, yesterday it was 20

, that is, we can see that the dynamic remains at a high level, but i repeat, for the first time there was a certain saturation of our troops, including at the expense of artillery , overturning individual art sections. yesterday i had an interesting conversation there with a representative of the steel border brigade, this is the border service , the brigade itself receives an area near kupyansk, they say that the enemy has really activated artillery and aviation, it was a few days ago, yesterday there were rains , the intensity has decreased somewhat, but in general the entire defense line there is prepared by fortifications, mined, that is, this is not the first time, i repeat, the enemy is trying to attack in the direction of kupinsk, it was in the summer, they were given a hard time, they went to regroup, now they have accumulated strength, given the proximity to russia, the possibility of transferring reserves from the russian federation, now we have another

atap, the stage of intensifying hostilities in this area, so avdiyivka, kupianskyi, i think, kremina, this is the direction that the enemy will now have in to a certain priority, connected precisely, i will repeat with propaganda appeals, which the enemy now needs, considering the fact that on all front lines, the enemy has no gains, and we have advances in the south, and the losses of the enemy are colossal, considering the statistics of destroyed enemy assets and enemy manpower, well, returning to the avdiivka, is it also important for us to hold on to the last, is there any threat that we will lose the avdiivka and what will this mean in your opinion, well, all the predictive plans, than they are complicated, because many factors are needed take into account, and even no general staff will clearly take into account all the components that can be formed on the battlefield, because it may be that one fighter will panic, and the behavior

of one fighter. can there on the behavior of the unit. now the situation looks like the enemy, despite the preparation of such a massive assault, which began on the 10th, with the forces of several battalion groups there, with the support of aviation and artillery, did not manage to achieve the goals he set for himself, that is to advance to avdiivka from the north and from the south, capture the paninian heights nearby on terikon itself, to the north. it was not possible to do this, and this precisely indicates that the line of defense is actually stable, we hope that conclusions with certain directions will be drawn there, and despite the fact that the enemy will now gather forces and attack avdiivka again, he will again encounter even more dense and powerful our defense system. mr. serhiy, thank you, serhii zurets, military expert, director of the dafentsekspress company, was with us, dear friends, thank you too, andriy and i will return at

10:10, well, now we remind you that the whole country remembers all those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by russian aggression with a moment of silence. let's honor them. let's honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia with a moment of silence.
