but it is called a taco, with such a yellow echo, let's say so. she's born, should we be worried, what do you think, mr. oleksiy, about avdiivka? well, of course you have to worry, there are heavy battles here and there, there is already, excuse me, the third wave, the third wave of assaults by the russian federation, the first two were repelled, although it was not very difficult, is there a possibility of an encirclement, of course there is, but that doesn't mean, well, there is you know, the probability, it can be given as a probability - it is how many percent by how much probability 90% or 10% and so and so probability is a question yes it is a question of stupidity, it is so rhetorical, it seems to me that the forces that the enemy throws for the encirclement avdiyivka, if the ones that are there so far, well, they are not capable of creating an encirclement, if they add troops, well , it is quite possible that we will have to either

add troops there to get defense, or leave, so as not to lose people and equipment. how, what decision will be made our general staff, let's see, but, once again, for this, the russians need to be accommodated, eight brigades were fighting there, they were essentially clothed, how many more should be added to them, well , i think that at least, well, not less, the same amount , but in they do not have such forces within the russian federation, so much equipment, so the only thing they can do is to move troops along the front, maybe from the kupinsky direction, maybe from the ugledar direction. it is not known, well, then there will be a relaxation, so here, mr. oleksiy, look at the important question, when i spoke, i once spoke with some experts, they say that there are places on the front where even if the russians have success, it will be such a temporary success there for 1 km, and then they will put their heads against

the wall again, as far as , let's imagine the worst. they surrounded avdiivka and so on, well, besides the fact that they will sit in the kremlin and shout from morning to night for a great victory, near stalingrad, and what is this really, this, this is really a breakthrough front, this is a disaster, we all have to flee, what, what will happen if the worst really happens and surrounds that poor, unfortunate avdiivka, well, let's still stick to the opinions of people who understand this, for sure, which is not worse, it is, for example, the american institute for the study of war, which analyzed the situation, which is very well understood, the same institute , this is not the private opinion of some journalist or even some analyst , this is this institute, it has worked out, calculated many options, what can be and how, so even if

we have to leave for avdiyivki, there will be strategic changes on the eastern front, as we if we call the front from kupyansk to ugledar, nothing will change significantly, not to mention the situation in general, the strategic situation in the russian-ukrainian war. and avdiivka can become the second bakhmut in the sense that she will fulfill her military mission, which is the destruction of a large number of the enemy, well under bakhmut up to 50,000, and well, the enemy put 50,000 there, for every 42 cm of bahmudian territory, one by one the life of a russian soldier. what they have achieved, nothing that has changed, what has changed is that we are now attacking and trying to the whole of bakhma to liberate without incurring such great losses as it was with the russians, a loss despite the fact that we are advancing and they are defending, they bear more losses, the same may happen with avdiivka, that after crushing a very large number of the enemy, we will have to withdraw from

this city, and once again closing the circle, referring to research on war, american, in principle. will not change, well, unless yes, i can refer to you that they will be there, raise the toz for something incomprehensible, for what, well, still to the south, so there are also some advances here incomprehensible, can you explain a little, there is no marenka either, it is meant in the south, there on the dnipro islands, something is happening , that’s all, i understood, some landing forces are landing there, ukrainian artillery is destroying the enemy’s positions there, do you think it’s serious there? i understand that no one knows except for zaluzhnyi, well maybe zelensky. but how important is it, what is happening there, well, the dnipro river , well, the islands, i really liked to rest there from time to time, there are only mosquitoes, but everything is very beautiful,

there are many mosquitoes, yes, but they bite normally, it’s possible there, i’m not fishing, but what’s there, yes, we’ll meet there, i love kherson oblast, it’s true, yes, after the war, yes, the pier is bare, then, look, what’s there, first of all, there are big smooth eyes, there you can to make certain ambushes, certain fires. to equip, but to force such a city, well, no, it is not very convenient, although we received air conditioning from our partners , in addition to shells, there, well, everything that we talk about a lot, there are tanks, anti-aircraft defense equipment, but we received pontoons, means to be able to quickly build bridges for crossing, even french ones, what are they called exactly , i won’t say now which ones can even transport, they are so amazing like that... pontoons, they immediately spread out, you can, if you don’t completely block the river, you can flood it there are several tanks there and you can quickly transport them from one city to another , besides, our special operations forces

, who have just finished their training in great britain, are conducting combat operations there, they have been engaged in this, this training for more than six months, and these were people who were not newly mobilized, as they say, and people are already with with the experience of combat operations and, from the forces of special operations, they were retrained, under the leadership of the most professional british military, to carry out offensive actions, or to attack from the water in a spectacular fashion, or to force relatively small rivers such as the dnipro, well, it is big, well, compare it with the samazonka, well, it’s like that , these people were called, it’s called komandas, well, that’s such an international slang, well, like the movie commando with schwarzenegger, these are approximately the same people, they are trained, they are almost at... losses and this scaffolding again, deep state says that it is

an advance of at least 7 km already from the coast deep to the left of the coast, is this the creation of a bridgehead, or is it an attempt to create a bridgehead, well , we don’t know for sure here, they said that, well, that at least two people know about it perfectly, maybe more, well, that's the way it is, if it's an attempt to create a bridgehead, well, i think that it's not the creation of a bridgehead, it's a self-attempt, because you have to check how the enemy will react. that he will use this bridgehead against these, well, in general, let's see how he will react to it, or it already can, have already looked, maybe this is a bridgehead, in any case, we need to make some kind of bridgehead there, well, a bridgehead, a bridgehead, i repeat again, in order to move already heavy equipment there, and there we can continue offensive actions a little further to the southeast to to the crimea itself, well, for what you... you correctly said that there is an active artillery counter-battery fight, well , we understand that in order for this bridgehead and crossings

to function more or less normally, it must drive away the enemy, well, at 20-30 km, exactly at the distance of a shot from their guns, well, long-range 152-caliber guns, well, so that you can do something relatively calmly there , build something, some crossings or some bridgeheads, that's why it's good. yes, mr. oleksiy, another very important question, what i observe with my completely ignorant eye, during the last two or three weeks, there is constantly information that one su-25 was shot down, something else was shot down, in short, it seems that something these russian birds fall very often, well more often than say two or three months ago, is it me so it seems that it is true, and then, if it is true, why are there so many right now, have we got new weapons, or are the russians just outsmarted and climbing on these birds where they have not climbed before, yes, they are climbing

they climb, it’s just that there are several reasons, as always, there is no one, well, first of all, there is no such anti-aircraft missile weapon that would destroy there for 200, 300 km, it simply does not exist in nature, and no one makes it, that’s it is simply not necessary, for this there are other means and pppo, it should be intercepted, well, there are 100 km, closer to the meaning no, because the other is already anti-missile defense, they are so poor, but they are intercontinental in space, that is, there is a whole tactic of air battles, with the use of anti-missile systems and extremely long-range systems, they are, well, not really necessary, besides well, in our partners the united states, the country is equipped with anti-aircraft defense, not anti-missile defense, it is anti-aircraft defense, that is, the one that fights rockets, planes, and helicopters, it is aviation that bears the main burden, not anti-aircraft missiles. complexes, anti-aircraft missile complexes help the aviation to destroy what is flying, but anti-missile, anti-aircraft missile anti-missile defense, they destroy intercontinental, ballistic, well, that's how it's built, we have a little... on the contrary

, we rely on air defense systems, air defense , it is believed that anti-aircraft defense includes aircraft, it is also anti-aircraft defense equipment, and our anti-aircraft defense is exclusively anti-aircraft missiles, it is not very good, well , we hope that f-16s will appear, they will then be able to really repel, why more planes are shot down, well, first of all, they have certain problems with with artillery shells, it's not a shortage, it's not necessary that everything is bad here, no, they have enough, but they can no longer fire such shelling as they did six months ago, there are 20, 30 thousand. to release shells per day, so they compensate for their ability to attack our territories, no longer with artillery, but with planning bombs, well, guided missiles, such as the fab-500, fab 250 and so on, for this they need to fly a little closer to the planes than there carcasses that launch rockets there at a distance of hundreds of kilometers are needed here

to fly up 40-50 km, of course, here our air defenses can already hit there, we can, well, it still seems to me that this is also one of the reasons why more russian planes have crashed and crashed, but the main thing well, it's not my, as you like to say boy mind, they're just scared their anti-aircraft means, so i think they're just this so-called road fire, they 're scared, they start shooting right away, because they're very afraid our ballistic missiles there, our uavs and so on, many such cases, questions, catching up with this question, the last questions, but... lots are a value in the whole world, you can build, it is faster to build a plane if you have all the components, than to train a pilot, especially a military pilot, it is 5 - 6, 7 years minimum, the plane can be made in two months, if all the components are there, that is, and they have enough pilots, then i have a question, if they do not protect the pilots, then this seems absurd to me, well, smart. smart and professional

pilots do in russia or try to to fly to our territory, as was the case with this helicopter, or they start to get seriously ill or go on vacation, and then come to the embassy of the united states and surrender themselves as prisoners, they can put people there who have just completed training, well, elementary courses, and something, they learned to fly there, but they don't know how to fly a plane skillfully, and well, they can be used as a non-starter, so pilots, they are sure that they also value them, but there are pilots here who don't want to fly, because they understand, especially when the f16 appears, the pilots will definitely not want to fly, because they understand that there is no chance, and even here, why, why they can shoot down not because of fear, there is information, our main intelligence office says that they are being

there are a lot of negotiations, that's how they sneak up on the russians with other pilots, if they... already many people are ready to look for a time when it will be possible to do this, to fly a plane or a helicopter into our territory, surrender and also earn good money, it seems to me , that it is quite possible that the russians gave such an instruction means of anti-aircraft defense, that the russian plane deviates from its course, then it could be a person who wants to run away, shoot it down, maybe so , thank you very much, oleksiy hetman, a reserve major of the national guard, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian wars, was in touch with us, thank you mr. oleksiy for finding time for us, i would just add from another branch , now we will have bohdan ferrens, but i will just add that in the soviet union there is also such a story as what mr. major just told that they are afraid , who flew to this side, both in the soviet union, when in some vacancies for violinists were opened to the western philharmonic orchestra, for example, they did not let anyone abroad, from the orchestras of the soviet union, the kyiv opera, or

the moscow, leningrad, odesa, or lviv orchestras, because they immediately fled, because there is an opportunity to escape and live in new york and earn money whether in london or in paris, and then they, so it is such a repetition, only not on the musical front, on the military front. so, bohdan ferrens, candidate of political sciences, expert internationalist, is in touch with us, good hello, mr. bohdan, thank you for finding time for us. good evening look, this is a meeting in malta, we are very proud, not a very beautiful number, 66 countries have joined the peace formula, many people in ukraine and outside the country do not like the six, but why was there no china, china has some separate line, peace, if they have some separate plan or they just missed it, well can't the chinese drive e
