promised, we will try to learn more about the hottest areas of russian-ukrainian front in the east, in particular, bakhmud, avdiyivka. let's start from the bakhmut direction, the commander of the shock bpp company of the 92nd separate mechanized brigade named after koshovoy taman ivan sirka, yury fedorenko, is in touch with us. mr. yury, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. what about you, in the last few days in your direction, we know that the weather has changed quite seriously, how it looks now, we also know, well, we know, that is, we heard from the occupiers that they are trying to do something there in the kurdyumivka district, there is there something to reflect there? to try, at least reflect how the situation looks now, for the russian.

vinsk: the task remains the same, namely to evaluate the shock and storm defense forces at any cost, that is, to attack, as well as to regain lost positions, as a result, the enemy concentrates forces and means, these are assault groups, accordingly reinforced with armored vehicles, artillery means, by means of uavs, a reconnaissance strike type of action, in order to solve this task, but at the moment all the de-occupied positions of the height of the bridgehead remain with the defense forces, the enemy has no success, and the defense forces continue offensive shock-assault actions on separate branches, there is success, sometimes it is possible to advance 10 m, sometimes 15 in a day, but there is progress, as for the weather conditions, yes indeed, the last three days the weather conditions are completely the aerial reconnaissance component and the use of strikes do not help, because the first thing was the fogs and the enemy tried to take advantage of the fact that the fog descended and their movement...

let's say, it became more difficult to detect where they appear, they tried to take advantage of this in order to carry out a counterattack to the offensive, but the enemy was detected and accordingly eliminated, both his manpower groups and the armored vehicles with which he tried to cover his infantry units, yesterday the weather throughout our ukraine was quite difficult, gusts wind, it significantly affects the ability to detect the enemy and destroy, also, because we understand that uav tools have a minimal presence in the air due to air restrictions, but despite this , other tools are included that allow effective anticipatory detection of the enemy and making an impression on him, in particular at the expense of artillery means and cluster munitions, which is very important, therefore , the joint work of all defense forces, the combined fire effect of both shock means and our artillery make it possible to ensure a stable result on the repulse... of the enemy

, as well as on advancing forward, yes, i look at your statistics, in particular, there are loaves, and buggies, and some good russian two-hundredths, that is, everything is like that. do you manage to fly even in spite of these hurricane winds? during execution tasks during the day will necessarily be, you know, such a small pause, when the wind decreases in its intensity, in its gusts, and accordingly the crews, they are all the time in combat positions, as soon as such acceptable conditions are formed for the use of bepla, they are immediately here are already in use, of course distance suffers, the stronger the... wind, the less distance we can fly to hit the enemy, the targets you 're showing now, they're destroyed right on the front line of combat engagement, so it's it is possible, yes, mr. yuri, but the weather is the same for the enemy as well, they have also

reduced flights to a minimum, do they have something more serious there, well, i mean, maybe some, larger drones that allow them higher and to fly even in such weather, have they also reduced their activity in the air, the laws of physics cannot be deceived in any way, so of course it affects the enemy in exactly the same way as it affects us, but can you tell us a little more, maybe you have encountered this , because we take information, let's say, for example, from institutions such as the institute for the study of war, they write that some brainy people are using a new drone , they are using a new, like a lancet, izdalia 53 writes about them, that it supposedly autonomously identifies the armed forces of ukraine, so-and-so, izdalia, well, this is what the izdalia research institute writes war, maybe you have encountered it and know something

about this lancet miracle? i would consider a little from the other side, we understand that in the russian federation some bepla tools are adopted , such as, for example, the orland chisel. reconnaissance type of action, they his are being modified all the time, that is, this is not the same tool that was available back in 2014, it is already a modified tool that the enemy, despite the sanctions policy, is trying to modernize in the amount to put on the front line, which concerns the shock-type lancet there, as well as for example cube and many other specifications, of course the enemy understands what challenges he faces, what opposition there is from the defense forces, and they are trying to modernize it as much as possible in order to use it effectively, but i will tell you that even their new products do not have the success that the enemy is counting on, because the countermeasures from the defense forces, starting from the means of radio-electronic reconnaissance, radio-electronic warfare and ending with fire means , are sufficiently powerful, well, let's say so, our slaves and our anti-drone rifles

will plant such a target 53 with autonomous target identification, it is very important that our radio electronic intelligence will detect him, and fire... the combined effect will make it possible to destroy him, in order to plant him at the expense of the reb, i would not like to announce it on the air, like that it happens so that the enemy also breaks his head a little, but it is better to shoot down , as yosif kavzon says, but i also wanted to ask you how it looks from the air, because we remember these shots from the infantry, yes, when the mite, andriivka, came in, it all looked like scorched earth, but now you are definitely flying... above all these, and not only those, kurdyumvka, and all the others, how does it look, that is, it is also leveled with the ground, or else although something resembles populated areas, for the most part, where the territory is de-occupied, the enemy goes there

massive fire impact during hostilities, therefore , unfortunately, only foundations remain from these settlements, but it is very important to de-occupy them, move forward, de-occupy the city. mut is our territory, our land, and we will have the strength, opportunities and capabilities to rebuild it all and bring life back there. yes, well, from the north and from the south in motion , obvious, understandable and also very important fire control along the many logistical roads that are there in the direction of popasne, svitlodarsk and so on, but what in the very in recent weeks, bakhmut managed to find out what they are getting there, whether they have any rotational movements in bakhmut itself, i will tell you that in the city of bakhmut the enemy definitely does not feel safe, because systematic work is being carried out on it due to the defense forces and certain special groups , therefore, in the very place of the bahud, the enemy is trying

to additionally place their fire equipment, mortars, guns and everything related to that in order to, among other things, conduct an impression on the flanks, therefore, at the expense of united works, i i emphasize this, it is the combined work of the defense forces that manages to effectively destroy the enemy in the city of bakhmut itself, as well as its fire equipment, which is shelling both our advanced positions and ugu, but tell me, do you have enough , that is, we heard different things in different parts of the eastern front from different units, some say give us more fpv, drones, others say, that’s all there is, but the weather is such that the heat is lowering, and in general all kinds of fervexes, and aspirins, give us more, because it's cold, but how are you? means of drinking - this is an expendable material, which, unfortunately, is lost as a result of enemy action

, as a result of enemy radio-electronic warfare , as a result of small arms, as a result of the operation of enemy anti-aircraft weapons, so these are the means that constantly need to be replenished, at the current moment we receive 50% of the means of intelligence, of the shock type of action at the expense of state funding, 50% is investor aid, that is, the aid of every ukrainian who donates to the armed forces. we must remember that the more intelligence we have air means of day and night use, the better we see the enemy, and the better we see the enemy, the more effectively due to the combined fire effect, the striking means of uavs, as well as artillery, we can destroy him, the more we destroyed the enemy, of its assault groups, guns, rocket fire systems, it is relatively easier for our infantry to hold positions, and for our stormtroopers to carry out shock and storm operations by decoupling our lands, so? booze is a constant need that must be had in large quantities, yes mr. yuri, but in yours

brothers and sisters, everything is fine, everything is fine, i.e. winter berets, winter uniform, there is enough, there is no shortage, medicine and everything else, thank god, everything is in order with the medicine, as far as the form is concerned, the dressing on the ground is going according to plan, well, that’s all, then good there won't be any weather, it's not like the rooster told us about the unexpected +25 you have. it's already raining and everything is going to winter, right? yesterday it was +17, yeah, it's cold, +17 , so, well, yesterday it was +17, that's why there were such, i think strong buckets in connection with the pressure drop, that's why the weather, you know, there's no weather, bad nature, bad weather, you have to be ready to perform tasks in any weather conditions and at any time of the day, this is our main task. mr. yuri, thank you for your service, salute. pass on to brothers and sisters, yuliy fedorenko, commander of a company of attack drones. a separate mechanized brigade

named after koshovoy taman ivan sirk, bakhmud direction. this is how it looks, we will take a short break, and then we will find out what is going on around avdiivka, and in general in the avdiivka direction, be with espresso. turn on well, it's when everything is as you want. click and now you're running the game, bird and you're on a tv show. oh, what you need, megogo, turn on hundreds of channels, thousands of movies and sports. there are discounts on biotbal tablets, 10% in pharmacies, plantain, ban and savings, sprained back or joints. flamides gel quickly reduces inflammation and treats pain, from pain in the back and joints flamides. vitaly portnikov is with you and we

to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club, every saturday on espress. we return to the broadcast, it was a difficult night in ukraine after the storm, in addition, there were many air alarms, the enemy tried to attack with his mopeds, shakheds, respectively, in mykolaivsk, zaporizhzhya, in the direction of the khmelnytskyi region were working, five strike missiles were destroyed by the air forces of the armed forces of ukraine, and there was also a missile, and they also had a guided missile... k-59s fired in the direction of the poltava region, the results there we cannot yet confirm to you , so far without casualties, well, in addition, as you already know, nikopol and mykolaiv oblast were shelled from artillery, as we can see, it has already been confirmed that

32 guided aerial bombs were directed at the kherson region during this night alone. which launch: in remotely, before that, various uavs, intelligence agencies or shaheds are working to do reconnaissance, this is how it all looks on the scale of the country, well, it’s hot and absolutely without an attempt to review its strategic goals on the part of moscow, it’s happening around avdiivka, we talk about avdiivka every day, and even now let's talk, because the military observer denys popovych is already in touch with us, mr. denys, glory to ukraine, we congratulate you. glory to the heroes, good morning, well , look, we thought that at some point this effect would appear, when the quantity became the quality in quotes, the quality, well at least some tactical task is changing, but when it is already confirmed from various sources that at least 400 kobzons were placed by muscovites around avdiivka, but this did not teach them anything

and did not change their mood, what do you say, they will buy and try avdiivka such, well, i don’t know, to push, because you can’t call it tactics otherwise, they will continue, well, they will continue, your assessment is correct, they will continue to push, push through our defense, they will keep the mass and pull the mass in slowly, there are certain estimates, there dozens of brigades and regiments are ready to advance on avdiivka, they have a goal, avdiivka. to hone in, to win a victory there, to put this victory on the table, as they say, yes, that is, they believe, in general terms, they believe that the international situation is now favorable for them, since it is not clear that there will be with the help of the united states on the address of ukraine, there is a new speaker of the house of representatives, that is, he seems to be saying favorable things, but so far the matter is not

getting to the point, the situation around the gas sector, certain movements in europe. in relation to the pro-russian ones the forces that are coming have come to power, in particular in slovakia, there hungary's position is so blocking regarding the provision of aid, and in general the russian federation believes that it is possible, if a victory is achieved there on the front, in particular near avdiivka, then the negotiation table can be set, in order to achieve the freezing of the war on certain conditions that suit the kremlin, that's why they are moving forward, now we see a scheme, uh, they have, they have, we see certain successes north of avdiyivka, because that's where they are now advanced to the railway, south of avdiivkas have less promotion in them. there is even something there, and we are trying to retake positions from them, but in general the situation there is difficult and they will continue to throw incendiary things there in order to encircle the avdiivka, well, in

principle, to achieve the goals i mentioned above, well, in this in this case, when they want to push something like this again in a hybrid way, push through there with incredible losses at the front, and then rely on the, internationally, let's say, political and military-complex situation, this calculation is on everyone, fizo and orban , on states that switch their attention to supporting the state of israel, because in the middle east, there is already ugh, not only the ayatollahs are there, erdogan has already started his game there, so in this case, in principle, their goal is to imprison ukrainians, directly now, let's go to the table and agree, agree to the cessation of hostilities on the terms of our occupied territory, that's all, that is, such a goal, such a goal, i 'm clear, to be honest, i don't know why they

think that if they god forbid, why do they think that we will agree to negotiate with them there, but very it seems that this is exactly what they think, so if they succeed in achieving this goal, then they count on the fact that we will be able to make table after table changes in order to stop uh this war on the actual front line, that is, taking into account the territories that they managed to seize, there in the kherson region, zaporizhzhia region , what they will manage to seize in the donetsk region and so on, and then to accumulate forces there in some, some medium-term perspective, again to start an offensive on larger , on more favorable conditions, although no one canceled their goal of capturing the donetsk region, up to the administrative borders, that is, they still keep it in their minds, well, of course, but in this case just in and first of all, they have some kind of reserve, new forces

pulled up in this direction as well, and our boys from bakhmut say that there is also something, something is being driven from north to south in the direction of avdiyivka, over the occupied lands, they sometimes observe the movement of equipment and manpower, in this case it is also interesting yesterday. .. yesterday there was a lot of information about the so-called beauties of the wagner pmc, but on the one hand, the wagnerites seem to be re-signing contracts with the rosguard, here they are introduced in this way, others allegedly go to the kadyrov-chechen special unit akhmat, and still other russian publics say that 2.5 people out of 25,000, that 's all - after all, when they talk about the wagnerites who are returning to the front right near avdiivka, they are talking about which ones, how many, are they pulling wagnerites from other points,

there african, middle eastern, or are they pulling them, because there are also those who they served their time, as they say, and were already sitting on the stove at home, that is, they draw from the reserve, which you know, well, i, i heard about the wagnerites who are transferred to the ones you mentioned, by the way, i would be interested to observe that how will the wagnerites be in the composition of the chechen battalions, taking into account what they had, what their relations were before this, well, but , in my opinion, wagner, the wagner pmk under the leadership of prigozhin, and the wagner pmk, which is deployed in various divisions and the ministry of defense of the russian federation of the roshvardiya of the akhmat, chechensky, it is, as they say, two big differences. and the wagner editors are scattered, they will be very much inferior to those wagnerites who acted as part of the wagner committee under

the leadership of trigozhin, utkin and so on , the wagner committee is still a separate structure, it has its own traditions, it means its own customs, its own motivation, we remember how wagner fought under mahmut, one way or another it is worth admitting that they are more prepared than the regular part. of the russian federation and he gave us more problems under bakhmut v its time in the winter and spring of this year, so it will not be the same wagner that will already be part of other units, and its value will already be significantly less than it was literally at the beginning of this year, and with regard to reinforcements, reinforcements are being removed, including from luhansk oblast, including the zaporizhzhia region, they also throw themselves over to podivka, from the depths of the russian federation they fall over, they fall over to prydovdiivka, which, in an unnecessary way , shows the importance attached by the leadership of the russian federation, precisely offensive in this area, of political significance, i emphasize again, i explained

why. that is, now, in my opinion, the political goal in this offensive is more than a military one, considering the ratio of the losses that the russian federation has already suffered, and the territorial gains that they are now planning to make by attacking the poddiv. but mr. denys, look, we paid attention to the not very optimistic mood with which the deputy of the servant of the people of chernivtsi returned from the united states of america, he said that he was probably the closest. there will be some in the future military aid from the us, because a lot of things are changing inside the us and generally globally and in the middle east , including that we may have to rely on our own forces. then, with a similar statement, kamychyn, the minister of strategic industries, spoke, saying that we now have a level of consumption of artillery, the gods of war are firing

shells... more than, and no country in the western world covers such volumes, and here is a question for you, the kind we talked about, for example, with a military expert igor koziy recently in our studio, in fact under the sanctions of the whole world, russia has put its economy on a war footing, we have been talking about this for over a year and a half, but judging by such official statements from official people, something... is completely wrong launch this economy on military rails in the ukrainian way, what's wrong? well, this is a complicated story, in fact, and it will definitely be very difficult to answer the question. this is a question for our leaders, why is the economy on a war footing, why until now, almost two years of war have passed, we are now only saying,

we are talking about the fact that production is being adjusted. ammunition type and soviet type, which we have, of which we still have a lot, and the main thing is what the money is spent on , we remember, numerous, numerous, that means the evidence from prozo, where the money goes for the construction of sports halls, football fields, roads and so on, i don't argue with the fact that roads are needed , well, but other objects, well, they raise a lot of questions, so obviously it is necessary to review these budgetary allocations and direct them to the purchase, to the purchase of weapons, to organization of production, first of all our own, especially since our foreign partners , they do not seem to try to prevent us from organizing production on their territories, and for this we must take care of ourselves, for this we must work on it, because i personally have the impression is that we have completely relied on the help of our foreign

partners, not completely, i apologize right away, we have production, there are reports that it is being developed here, but to a large extent, a very large extent, we depend on our foreign partners, and it is necessary, in my opinion, to reduce this dependence and apply it to the point that it completely and maximally shifts to production, to the production of our own ammunition, well , in fact, you are confirming what we have been talking about for the last year, for sure, that we want to see not in words, but in deeds, yes, mr. denys, thank you for reviewing the situation around avdiivka, denys popovych, military observer, and including this necessity, which we are already talking about through the mouths of our military and political leaders, it is necessary as much as possible to quickly switch to our own military production, including not only ammunition, but also our own drones in as large

a quantity as possible. in a few seconds, at 9 o'clock, there is a minute of silence, we remember those who died in the russian-ukrainian war. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
