[000:00:00;00] logical, but i think that the situation should be carefully monitored to see if russia has started a hybrid war, not only against ukraine, but a full-scale direct war is already underway against us, but has russia started a hybrid war against the west? provoking such a chaos of international relations, a chain, a chain reaction of various regional conflicts, in order to divert attention from ukraine and to drag the west into a whole series of such conflict situations, again so that putin there, so-called , decided his questions about ukraine. the leader of the republicans in the united states senate, mitch mcconnell, is quite an influential political figure on the chessboard of american politics, he says that china, russia and iran are the new axis of evil in the world. i spoke with

the diplomat valery yesterday. he says that it is not at all like mcconnell to speak in such a way, because he is quite a cautious and quite balanced politician and has never heard that at such a level people say that china is part of the axis of evil, well, in particular china, with russia and iran, in the united states of america are increasingly talking about the fact that china and russia threaten the united states of america, they make predictions that in 27-35 there will be such a threat when it will be necessary to use weapons against both russia and china, well in a certain period, in your opinion, does putin have such support in the world in order to finally form this axis of evil and everyone understood that there is a duel, among other things, between civilization, countries of civilizations and countries of an authoritarian regime, well i i do not know,

about an authoritarian way of ruling. well, the fact that there are ideological contradictions, there is such an ideological split, that is a fact, yes, but i believe that this is the definition that there is an axis of evil together with china, this is a certain simplification, that there is an axis of evil, and that with nuances, the message of evil, which includes russia, north korea, iran, yes, yes, unfortunately, this is a fact, this message of evil is already working, but there is no direct military alliance there either, there is mutual assistance with weapons, there is an exchange of information, that is the main thing, that they exchange weapons among themselves, and there is also danger in this, although, for example, even iran does not vote together with russia in the un, because there are certain contradictions between them, i am not talking about china, china did not recognize the annexation of crimea, did not recognize the annexation of new territories, north korea recognized all this, but

china did not, china is a little sharp, but... what is the problem in china's perception of international relations now, in particular the war between russia and ukraine, in light of its confrontation with the united states, and in the states a similar situation, almost in a mirror, they also perceive the picture of international relations now , various conflicts, because of their own confrontation with china, especially, by the way, this is manifested in the republicans, and this tendency is intensifying, and i agree with valery chal that indeed, even such fairly moderate, american politicians are also beginning to look at china as the main threat, not russia, namely china, is the main threat for them, and the fact that there is a risk of a direct collision in the future, unfortunately, yes, there is such a risk, on the other hand, as long as china is ready to negotiate, it wants to be, i think, such a competitor for usa, an alternative

center of influence. that's how soviet used to be the union, for the west, for the united states, and now sidzimpin's china is claiming the same role, but they are still ready, at least on some issues, to agree, but now the issue of swedzinpin's visit to the usa is being discussed, let's see how it will turn out , you know, i wouldn't focus now on the fact that there is already an axis of evil, and that it is necessary to resist, china. well, there is no need to fake a potential risk, which may appear in the future anyway, it is better to gradually neutralize it, this is not the same situation as with russia, china has not yet made direct aggressive steps, well, there is a risk in taiwan, but so far china has avoided such actions, as russia has done, so it is necessary to restrain china from such actions. let them be better engaged in abstract

peacemaking projects. than, will begin to act as russia, or will become a direct military ally of russia. mr. volodymyr, by the way, in china, the minister of defense li shangfu, who was very close to the russian federation in terms of his views and friendship with putin , was dismissed seven weeks ago, and the western media reported that he was under investigation. and in in mid-september , the financial times wrote that li was relieved of his duties as the head of the ministry of defense of the people's republic of china, and it was said that he was connected to the corrupt chinese defense system. the reasons for li's dismissal are not mentioned, they are unlikely to be announced given the closed nature of the chinese regime, but could this relatively speaking head of li shangfu be a prelude to xi jinping's meeting with joe

biden? no, no, i think that this is in no way connected, in no way connected with relations with the usa, by the way, before that, according to a similar scheme, the minister of foreign affairs was removed of china's affairs, and now... the new minister , who used to hold this position, is now in charge of foreign policy, and in the chinese communist party, and now the foreign ministry has headed the chinese affairs, no, it's not related, it's more of an internal showdown, such a specific, i would say personnel political technology of the chinese leadership, when a person is removed first, it is not known what, where, why they were removed, and then there is already an official decision, no, i think that china will not receive any gifts from the state, they will be the opposite , to behave so harshly enough,

to demand, negotiate, some even concessions on the part of the usa, they are now showing strength, they are gradually building the infrastructure, the international infrastructure of their allies, partners, simply loyal countries, this is exactly what awaits us, i would say the geopolitical competition between the usa and china, this is a new reality, and we are we must... also take into account that in this sense we are on the side of the usa, but we should not quarrel with china , we do not need new enemies, let there be a better distance between china and russia, but for the americans, that is what you are talking about have already said, you have to think if there are threats, risks, etc on the part of china, and on the part of russia, and they have this understanding, let them increase military production, in particular, in order to ... help replenish their arsenals, the arsenals of the allies, i think there is an urgent need for this, it will be simple deterrence tool, it is not necessary that all this will shoot and fight, but it will be a powerful tool for deterring potential aggressors.

rudenko. from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12:10. greetings, i'm olga len, these are chronicles of military operations. before we look at the battle map. let me remind you that the tv channel collects from the press. now funds for the purchase and modernization of a jeep for the rapid response group of the third regiment of the sssu. in the battles in the eastern direction, they showed themselves to be real heroes and the defense forces foiled the enemy's plans for avdiyivka, repelled all attacks and held positions with close fire they constantly remind the occupiers not to even try to set foot on ukrainian soil, and at the moment it is especially important that they need cars, because - they are preparing to carry out combat missions and you only need to buy back

the cars themselves, they already have them, so join us, our goal is 250,000 hryvnias, we have already collected much more, it is not a very large amount, we hope that we will do it quickly, it is just such a very urgent need, please look, there is a privat-24, there is a monobank, there is an account number, there is a qr- codes, remove, join, every hryvnia will help us here. because we want to do it just very quickly, so join us, and let's now see what 's been happening on the battlefield in general these last few days, because, well, it looks like there's a lot of activity in almost every direction, and the enemy is trying to do something this is somewhere to move, a map of hostilities for the period of october 19-25, 2020. in the third year, avdivka turned into a mass grave of the occupiers,

but the rashists are climbing further. while the counteroffensive of the armed forces either slowed down significantly or completely stopped in some areas of the front, on the contrary, the russians activated along the entire front line in the east, from kupyansk to volnovakha. avdiivka is putin's number one target. how important the storming of avdiyivka is for putin was demonstrated by his visit to rostov, where he or his doppelgänger challenged the military. one way or another, but after that under the auspices of the command of the armed forces. as many as two armies from the luhansk region will be transferred to russia. previously, during august and september in luhansk region, the rashtists failed to achieve any results. their offensive went into a latent state phase during this week, the occupier. with new forces went on the attack in the south and north, avdiyvka, intending to implement their plan to cover the city. if in the south, their advances in the vodynogo region did not have significant success, then in the krasnogovka region, they took on a threatening form. for the second time in a week , the invaders managed to climb terekon, which is high above the city. terekon has rather hard soil and

it is impossible to dig in on it, the first time the artillery of the armed forces of ukraine knocked out the rashists from it, so let's hope that they will similarly find their end there and this time, however, the advance of the russians towards the village of stepove, where the road from avdiivka passes, is dangerous. it is this road that is not used to secure the city, but it is the key defensive line of the armed forces of ukraine on this part of the front. therefore, our military will carry out counterattacks to push the invaders away from it. bakhmut. south of bakhmut, the russian armed forces are desperately trying to regain lost positions in klishchiivka. in counterattacks, they destroyed two of their mechanized brigades, for which they had to return the interrogation. this made it possible for ours soldiers to occupy even more positions east of the railway track. meanwhile, other brigades of the armed forces of ukraine are fighting to gain control over the villages of kurdyumivka and ozaryanivka, which are standing in the way of our advance further east in order to push back the occupiers beyond the bakhmutka river. to the north of

bakhmut, the rashists managed to carry out a series of attacks and advance several meters into the districts of berkhivky and dubovosylivky, as well as within the southern outskirts of bakhmut. cities southern front and kherson oblast. battles in the berdyan direction turned into positional battles, and theirs the intensity of the situation near the robot has decreased significantly, it seems that for a certain period it has reached a dead end. the armed forces of ukraine cannot knock out the occupiers from the commanding height near novoprokhopivka, and the russians are conducting another unsuccessful counterattack in the districts of verbovoy and kopany, trying to narrow the russian advance. the front line here has not changed in a week. at the same time, the events on the left bank of the kherson region became so intense. concerns of the occupiers that they began to transfer there their unfinished units on the southern front. in their opinion, this should strengthen the beautiful areas along the banks of the dnieper, however, according to the russians themselves, they are currently unable to do so, as subversive units of the armed forces of ukraine are increasingly expanding their zone of influence, daily transporting new

reinforcements to the left bank. currently, our military has taken control of the territory from the antoniv bridge to the villages of pishchanivka and podsteppe, without entering the road that goes from oleshok to kozachihl. to the north of the camps, the armed forces also began to create another bridgehead in the district villages of krynka, probably controlling part of this village. racists fear that these are subversive operations can develop into a real second front in their rear. after the atakam attacks , the airport in berdyansk lost its functionality, and according to detailed information, the armed forces of the russian federation lost 19 of their rotorcraft, and another 17 were liquidated in luhansk. for the third day in a row , the sevastopol bay was attacked. our underwater and air drones, the occupiers report that everything has been shot down, but the smoke over the city indicates that this is not the case, so we are waiting for good news from crimea, we are winning daily, death to the enemies.

so what we see, we see that accent hostilities shifted from the south to the east, in the south, our offensive actions stopped, but the russians began to move very actively and are trying to organize something like an autumn-winter offensive, apparently this is really very important for them, i can add that it was said that not only putin went there to rostov, shoigu was also yesterday somewhere, it is not known exactly where, but somewhere in this donetsk direction, that is, this is exactly the direction of avdiyivka, and that he came there personally and tried to do something there manage him. they reported something there, as they wrote in the russian official reports of the ministry of defense, they talked there with the commanders who are there, regarding the provision of anti-aircraft missiles and the strengthening of this component in the russian armies, er, that is,

for its higher management, well, at least yes, the russian higher the management is actively showing that this direction is directly key for them, and they are working on it...well, they have taken it very, very, very seriously, well, we cannot say for sure whether this is really the case, or whether it is some kind of distracting maneuver again, something else will happen , difficult to say, but judging by the fact that they did pull forces there, well, somehow it was just an imitation, it doesn't look like it, it's really an attempt to somehow, let's say, push ukrainian forces away from donetsk. well, in general, the avdiyivka military district is a serious military district, it must be said that it is convenient to defend there, there is a place to defend, there is an enterprise, there are already arranged good positions, well, this is such an important moment, so

it is not surprising that they are trying something to do there, especially taking into account the fact that in all other areas of the front, in principle, they do not a lot is happening now, that is, no matter what offensive actions they tried to take there in the summer, in the fall, in the spring , in the fall of last year, in the spring of this year, for example, in the southern... to advance near uglader, all attempts to advance, then somehow, as they dreamed of it and as they said at first there, to repel the ukrainian counteroffensive and then start theirs there on the shoulders of the retreating enemy in the south, nothing came of it, so now they focused first on estuary direction, now you see, we can already see that they are drawing strength from the limansky. in the direction of avdiyivka, that 's how we are told that our guest serhiy jerch, head of the ukraine nato public league, a military serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, appeared.

i congratulate you, mr. serhiy. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. tell us what you think about this situation that has developed now, that is, that we are now observing what the russian command in general might have with these actions of theirs, then there is liman, then avdiyivka, near mari. serious battles by the way, if you look in the last day, half of all the offensive actions of the russians were in fact, on this day exactly near mariyanka, how strange it is, well, that is, what is it, how can you characterize these actions, well, they are going crazy, they want at least some success, it is clear that putin would not just come to rostov , there or his double, as they say, in order to somehow intensify the situation, to influence the generals, so that they would achieve at least some success,

because in principle it was about the ukrainian counteroffensive, which is continuing and which will be happen, i hope that with the strengthening of the weapons of the ukrainian, ukrainian army, this situation will change in order to preserve it... the lives of ukrainian soldiers, and the russians want to demonstrate at least some success in society, and here it is clear that there will be elections, no not so, not expected in russia, putin is the only candidate who cannot formulate anything positive, for internal use, use, actually according to the situation in the country, therefore some external ones are needed. successes, well, one of the successes is the capture of some village there, or in particular

it is about avdiyivka there or other cities, so i think that in connection with this they are concentrating their forces like this, destroying their soldiers, in fact, both mobilized and all others, and all the same they do not achieve any results, well, you see, it is interesting to watch how it changes in general... them, the attempt to take, well, capture the audio unit and in general these attempts of assaults, at first they threw a lot of equipment, the ukrainian defense forces of ukraine burned this equipment, there is a lot of it, there are 150 pieces of equipment, well, something like that , well, just kind of incredible, absolutely, to put it conventionally, then the ukrainian defense forces burned a brigade, you can say , of russian troops, under one avdiivka in 10 days, that's a lot... a lot, just like that, just like that,

well, actually, thank god that there are weapons that it is possible to defend ourselves, and in addition to these , the artillery systems that we received from our partners are now inferior to bohdan, these ukrainian wheeled artillery systems are also mobile and very aiming, accurate, therefore, all this together makes it possible to deter the enemy, in particular, to destroy his technique. it is very important to increase the number of drones, kamike drones, drones, others for surveillance, because in order to have an advantage in this, because the russians during these one and a half years of war, they too, if they had not slept, developed, created new lines for the production of drones, there is the fact that they have much more of them , became these. aircraft than before, so that there would be parity, so that there would be some

activity of ours, this is an advantage, then of course these things need to be strengthened and our units, which have the opportunity to use drones, have a sufficient number of them, and they are showing success on the battlefield, in fact, it is what did you say, well, it was very noticeable near avdiivka, first of all, the drones themselves burned there, well, quite a large amount of equipment, but, in addition to the fact that direct kamikaze drones would have worked, but also aerial reconnaissance, for example, we saw these shots when the convoys were going and they were hitting... the troops, well, it was thanks to the aerial reconnaissance that they could see these convoys, they were spotted in time, they were correctly brought out there under fire and in the end they were hit, that is, it is like this, well, all this became possible precisely thanks to the drones, precisely because we had enough of them there the abundance of drones in this area, and very competent leadership, and it must be said that

now avdiivka is defended by the 110th brigade, everyone notes very competently. the management, you see, is impressed, it seems that i am not mistaken, the sun is impressed, this is a very serious such thermobaric weapon of theirs, very dangerous, unpleasant, and imagine, some drone for 200 dollars literally destroys, well, there is an installation that costs millions , and of which there are not so many in the russian army, and only in the last couple of weeks they destroyed two tsintsipok, precisely with drones, it must be emphasized. it is very it is important, that is why what you say about drones is important, and the russians understand it, i have already said that it is not surprising that putin has already talked about it there, and shuigu came directly to talk about it, it says, that they are trying to organize at the state level this whole story in some way in order to provide their own troops with drones, but in

addition to the fact that they, apparently, concentrated armored vehicles, concentrated: often manpower, me, i don’t know, like you, me for example i was struck by the number, this is the last one that was made public, as i was not i'm wrong, gur announced that the russians now have 4,000 military personnel in ukraine, the total number, i can't remember clearly, maybe you know, it's not the most, i think, since the beginning of the offensive in february, there were no more, this i am a very large number, that’s right, well, it’s with crimea, in general with the occupied territories, we also know that the number is increasing in crimea, they use the crimean bridge, if for this, then, the general mobilization went away, not all these troops are fighting there on on on the first line because

there is such a tactical rotation, there for two or three days, combat positions are occupied by some units, then they are replaced by others within the framework of, well, the same combat operation, part, it is on rotation further from the front line, that is, thank god that not all of them, not all of them, but this is such an accumulation, it also gives us positives in that if intelligence, in particular the uav intelligence that was talked about, makes it possible to track... an accumulation of manpower, military equipment, this it is possible to use these modern long-range missiles and ukrainian and of non-ukrainian production, which are currently available, in this way it is possible to increase and decrease the number of enemies on ukrainian territory , in particular, well, in their bases, where they

are bought there, it would be good, but... i am simply leading to that, that if they have amassed these troops, if they have amassed armored vehicles, uh, i guess we can't expect their offensive efforts to suddenly stop like this, that is, most likely they intend to try to to advance somewhere, and we see that they are flexibly enough, they transfer from the leman to avdiivka on the other side, somewhere, that is, they will move. these troops, they now, well, they have this opportunity, i understand correctly, that is, this, this and the rain for a long time, roughly speaking, well , they are looking for weak points, as they think, and where there are some tactical positions there, or positive for them tactical positions, the possibility of encirclement, in particular, the way they
