[000:00:00;00] not with military equipment, nor with tanks, we will have to go back through the yards, because they are standing, barricaded, so you can’t pass, well, people were just scared, they had to save their families, satovka 605 microdistrict, i gathered everyone, and i say, there is women, who, who has children, families, hours, i said, i give you two hours, two hours, so that you, for yourself, make a decision, who stays, stays with me in the place, who will leave , i will not condemn anyone, because i have no right to do so, and i want to say that with the exception of a few

cases, all remained. on the sly, i don’t know how it works, but probably not the subway, we in the administration gathered somewhere after 15-20 minutes, the composition, the mayor’s office was there, including us, actually started to plan and interact with our military on various directions, the entire personnel of the brigade was located in advance in the fields, at a distance from the first line, the equipment was loaded with ammunition, the personnel, the battalions were advanced in advance to their designated areas by the brigade commanders the location, the front is large, the main task was to inflict maximum fire damage during the crossing of the state border by russian troops, the task of the brigade was to stop , let's say, not hold back, to stop the advance of the enemy, in order to give time for

the deployment and draw-up of forces. closer to the state border of other military units , that volume of the front line that was given to the brigade, it was impossible to hold the enemy, it is simply no country, no army of the world could hold the enemy in such a territory, with such a volume, as there was a full-scale invasion, each person occupied his line of defense behind the circuit, with units of the national guard, the police, well, there were all, 12, the number of 12 people,

we are watching carefully. the group commanders and their soldiers were tasked to change into civilian clothes and go to the north, see where the front line is, where the enemy is, and if things were not bad there, 92 had already taken positions there and held back, well, the onslaught of the enemy, in this i received a command from the head of the eastern territorial management to help our tanks on tserkun, in fact, in an hour and a half, the first checkpoint of the russians was near tserkun, this is actually a district road, it is the naskifitsi, the situation is as it is today, armored vehicles, tanks are standing in the district district road, around 11-12 o'clock, near on the ring road,

there were already aggressor troops. and the battles began, i took with me three btr4e, bucephals , an aerial reconnaissance vehicle, and the command vehicle itself, i had a cougar, and we ran with that column at high speed, because we had to carry out on the district road to the intersection tserkunovsky direction, there to the intersection and to the left there, we jumped out, we had a speed of 100-110 somewhere , already approaching this intersection... we already saw the first tank there, the first of them was their advanced group with personnel there to of the enemy platoon, and we flew at speed straight to them at the checkpoint, you see, we couldn’t even think that the enemy had already come so close to the cradle of the city on this road, the first armored personnel carrier destroyed the tank and the next ones were already

destroying everything that there was, in in principle, all combat equipment, and the enemy left with a landing pad from the direction from which, in the direction from which he came, in this way we did not let the first tanks into the city, it was very pleasant for me and for my unit that we accomplished tasks that have depended on us all our lives. the first where the enemy reached, the first to reach kharkiv, he quickly reached the outskirts of the northern sautivka district road. someone has already been defeated, it is on fire, it is the 22nd battalion, it has destroyed the enemy, forced it to retreat from the city of kharkiv to a distance of one and a half kilometers, here it is then for many, many months i kept the enemy at a distance, tried to keep the armed forces to a minimum, with a minimum number ... i understand that they were guards on armored cars there on trucks, then when all the attempts failed, they were

knocked out of kharkov, assaults with heavy equipment, tanks and another thing, in principle, all the assaults were repelled, they tried to climb from all four sides from all roads, including fields. even the tactics were not bad enough, they were walking in a column, in front of them, orland was flying above them and showing them the way to where to enter, behind you are high-rise buildings, houses that the enemy is destroying , but you are directly in the line of fire and you understand that if you just let the enemy pass, the city will be very difficult, and this is already, this is already infantry somewhere close . the most difficult thing was not to let the enemy into the city, these two or three days were the most difficult, then we realized that all of this would not happen, each of them would pay for it and they would remain here in

the ground, all that was left was the district road , it was about, well man 150, what directly in the first place held this defense, these are people, you can say, these are iron people, if the enemy understood. we are so weak, we are so few, we have so little equipment, personnel, he would have gone further. the moment of crisis, it was the dergash direction, if they went with serious forces, they could enter the city from the northwest, and then there would already be a problem, so what is there, such an area, for them it is a fruitful springboard for further training and further advancement in city. they wanted to make, i understand, a bl... scream to pass the tank columns simply went in huge columns, so it was very convenient to make a fire impression, this is how they attack us, on the approach of the column,

they simply burn, the enemy is destroyed, you get a huge moral satisfaction from the fact that the enemy has not passed even today , and today did not pass, we are leaving, we are leaving, and on the 27th we also recall when the attempt to storm the city of kharkiv, the attempt of enemy reconnaissance groups to drive into the city of kharkiv on tigers, they drove by, but were on time blocked by the kort special unit at the school, the russian equipment was burned, the katsapa sat in the school, the zsu frikors are fighting, and the battle went on for eight hours, and they were all destroyed, so the russian dogs are burning, fighting along the track, we knocked them out, because they already

in some areas, you can say, they entered the garden, almost on the outskirts , they stood there in the area of ​​saltovka, in the area of ​​the obezdnoi trasy, the road to chuguya, in the area of ​​the felman park, there on the other side, units of the brigade accepted the battle, some sub-units. in addition, there was a threat of an amphibious landing, it was also necessary anti-aircraft guns, in such a way that the aggressor troops could not land airplanes on the airstrips, and we also did this in the first days. let's say, the air defense system was broken, when planes and helicopters were circling over kharkiv , here we are on one of kharkiv's avenues on a strange way, well

, we were driving and a plane flew over us, since i know a little about planes and painting, i understood that it wasn't our plane when the planes flew in... of course there was, well, yes, let's say, yes, the influence is such that the locals run all over the city, and the troops, accordingly, while order was restored, while the local evacuees were under the control of the military, it became easier, and we are now bombarding the city of kharkiv, shooting down the first planes, in helicopters, including the first sabotage and reconnaissance groups, entered

the city from different directions parties and these groups were not two or three people each, these people were 15, 20 people each, that is, those who were waiting, relatively speaking , for the russian teams, the drg was very prepared, very prepared, and they were, the bika squads, two each что что, что что? here is an example. central recreation park, there there was a group of about 15-17 enemy people, they were blocked, destroyed, and, as they say, our guys were very motivated to capture these locations and then hold them, on approaches, and it was very, very important to destroy them quickly , our guys managed

to do it. this is the safest place, now i will ask that our communal services organize the delivery of water , any food, we will try to make some pills there, as you yourself understand that today the defense zone is holding. hryvnia was to make fortifications the services worked as well as they are working, buildings, all the construction companies got involved, for which i am very grateful to them, by the way, because they made it impossible, today we provide all communal heat, despite the fact that there was a shell on the fifth day, a shell hit, there was a lot to do and to turn off the power supply and establish communication. let's hold on, hold on, the strength of the spirit must be present, since

the most important thing is to save people's lives, it's good, i'm asking you, let's help each other, the volunteers helped a lot, this is right from the start from the copts, the whole of ukraine helped, i want to thank all our drivers who delivered these cars with their own hands, they will already go on the routes today in order to save our lives, the lives of our civilians, our military, people helped, people helped , and the equipment was passed, and 20 in my opinion or 27, i don’t remember when the units of the russian federation entered the city, when the news leaked there, everyone who was in the city, all the people, either dropped eskis, or called, or dropped a video, civil

defense, frikor krakin, well, that is, everything everything, everyone united, and one task was to destroy the city, and this will be the case with everyone who comes to our kharkiv land, glory to ukraine, those people who remained in kharkiv at that time, i must say, we probably took, well, every 10 -th, they could not take any more, well, the state did not allow it, each of the military personnel first of all went deliberately, understanding that he was really risking his life completely, but they went with faith in the fact that, well, who will recapture kharkiv to save, there was no experience of fighting, but there was a very high motivation, time passed, time passed, and we began to take more active actions, we began to come from defense to certain offensive actions, we were attacking the enemy.

it's such a feeling, i'm from kharkiv, and this was the direction in which i spent my childhood, everyone was local, and there was no need for any maps, everyone knew for sure that we could pass through this lane, go into the enemy's rear, and this the forest, it is not passable, and we will be seen on the way out of the forest, these are all such examples that they played a role, the first time you crossed, the county road, on that to the area where we are not, where everyone says the enemy is there, you can’t go there, we quietly crossed, walked 100-150 m along the pasak, will get such pleasure, such a rise, that the enemy realized that he could not take the city of

kharkiv, and he began to destroy the symbols of state power, these are missile strikes on the administration. on the first of march, and a few hours later on the same day, these are rocket attacks on the kharkiv city council , there is... a school on pivnychne saltivka, where 16 shelters, 16, there are houses on the ragani, here is the ring road, here they stand, their troops and with direct fire on multi-story

buildings, around residential building, residential building, residential building, a huge one. residential house, house, house, house, house, bang, and, death, tell me what it is, and the playground that was built this year, where i walk with my child, where my wife is playing with her child, mother, constant shelling artillery, constant shelling of tanks almost from direct fire, they shelled simply driving out in a drunken moire with tank fire where it hit, pounding on nine-story buildings, it was very, very... very

it's painful to watch, the civilian population is the civilian population, and they don't understand what they're doing, sometimes it can happen that they can come under fire, for example, enemy fire, you know, when there's, for example, a shooting battle, and they they are worried, they run, they move because they heard an echo somewhere, you know, they shot in one place, you showed him that you were shooting next to him, and he starts to move, it is very problematic for them, for us, for the special forces, no , it's not a problem for us, that's how we work constructed that we work only against the enemy, we see the target and work, the battles took place , not on the kharkov bypass road in the city, in the city itself, and the city then suffered a lot from rocket attacks and the artillery reached completely any point in the city. kharkiv was defeated, and such districts were completely destroyed.

150,000 residents of the city of kharkiv are now homeless 150. in the second decade of march, we shot down the first plane, we captured this acting regiment commander, and we drove him around the city, they showed that it was him, that he was his crew and, that is, he personally killed and, the unit in which he led, that killed, they specifically showed the objects, and the kindergarten and the school, it was obvious that he was not at ease, but he was ready for such a trip, it's human , how many people are lying here, there and how much everything, it's

so much here, how much, and in general, what they did, there are no words, even. under airstrikes , under shrapnel, under shells, they delivered humanitarian aid, helped people, evacuated from poniknych saaltovka, from pitekhatok, from rohani, from these cities, which was under by constant shelling, during sunday, more, constantly, we actually have, in the first two days, emptied the shelves of stores and supermarkets, and a city of a million people has to eat something, food is not brought in, because in fact in two days, in three days we have left... these two directions are free, not occupied, they are the kyiv direction and the dnipro direction.

i remember the first days of the war, when practically all bread factories stopped working, because there was no certain supply of flour, and i sent bag trucks to the soviet union and they were shot there, from other cities, our region we transported flour and gave it to the bakery and baked bread for us and we delivered it for free, for free, and people distributed it, i am very grateful to our business, which i remember , they told me, listen, open our stalls, take sausage, take it, give it to people, take food and other food there, distribute it to people, and actually had to hold defense in a semi-circle once, provide people with food, two, deliver humanitarian

aid for people who cannot get it, three, a rocket flew into the water supply, it is necessary, i say, to do it in such a way that we enable our communal services to restore, work for two people, and there, it was an occupied territory, i turned to the military, and for several days they held this territory, which they had won back, at the cost of lives, but they restrained the onslaught of the enemy, our communal service, did and did, and the city didn't even feel that

way, didn't pay attention to it, what was it like, there were marauders who just walked, beat the windows, the children asked if something was going to be robbed, the police asked... to fight with them, the police were there in the city, you know, when people see the police on the street, they understand that everything is fine , the state government is in place, debris was removed, rubble was paved, asphalting was done, because it is important that people see that we are working. then they have different emotions, when there is power, when there is work, when people see all this, then they

see that they want to live, and when we are almost there, where it is cold and snowy, and very close, ours is exactly that, desires as strong as love will help us reach, and our height will be taken. and everything will be good for all of us, and everything will be fine, and somewhere 150,000 people

tried constantly in the subway. it was necessary to remind everyone, to place everyone, in addition to this, to make sure that there were no infectious diseases , escherichia coli and so on, and we succeeded, there were small children, we entertained them, in addition, we evacuated, evacuated, wants to say... because a lot of people were leaving the city, trains were organized and we evacuated them through the metro station, through the tunnels of the metro, there were efforts to obtain permission for the so-called green corridors, which frankly not a single one worked in our region. immediately there is a humanitarian convoy or an evacuation convoy, when we sent it according to the previous alleged agreement, with the occupier, they

were either detained at the very first checkpoint, or just simply shot, do not believe their empty promises, the promises of those people on whose hands thousands of deaths are innocent civilians, the death of children, we will certainly give them a reprimand and a worthy response , victory will be ours, we will never forget how women, women, children are standing, we have all been wrongly surrounded, and they say, we will definitely return. let's return to ukraine, let's return to our ukrainian city of kharkiv. of course, this is the month of may, this is the first part of the de-occupation. we had two of them. this is a successful counteroffensive and the liberation of our territories, the north and a little north-eastern direction, the same tserkuns, other settlements, and of course, that we

pushed the enemy back a little from the city of kharkiv, when we had rzv, airstrikes, tank strikes every day, mortar strikes, artillery strikes, we were tasked to go to kharkiv in order to unblock the city from the north and to push the enemy away from the city to the border as much as possible, we stopped by in the daytime, the city was dead, it reminded me of kyiv at such critical moments, the city is dead. there is absolutely no one at all, we had about 3,000, 3,000 inhabitants, and before the war we said that there were about one and a half million, but that is without students, without people who were constantly here, we had a city of about 2 million, the city was completely empty, you go and drive cars on the street

, there is no one, no cars, no people, nothing at all... and when we drove in, it just started shelling of the enemy, artillery shelling of the enemy, the first days the shelling was more colossal, the city was just buzzing, everything was tearing up, siren after siren, siren, the main task was to insert this threat and throw the enemy away from the immediate city, at that, range, well, the maximum, so that, well, for ... a safe life as kharkiv citizens, we realized that there are certain holes in the enemy's defense, after we regrouped, how we took up the defense, a decision was made together with raken, respectively, together with fryikor, well, with

all the volunteer units, developed and accordingly, we began the assault, first on the left flank, we also began to quietly knock out , knock out, carried out colossal measures of counter-battery struggle, one flew in, the enemy began to pull away that artery, the people felt, they feel, that it was easier to start on the streets, already, looking around, hiding, began to appear on the streets, then, we pushed back further, slowly, carried out storm actions, from the third demand we took a small hurricane, defeated, i think there was a two-hundredth brigade, there were also some regiments there, well

in general, they broke the normal one, they ran away throwing everything. i was able to connect friends, we have a lot of friends, it was at that time, and they remain friends, the kharkiv battalion is one, ordinary guys, policemen who also carried weapons on a voluntary basis, these were guys from huriv who just came and said, we want to work with you, then this is the first success, when the boys realized that it was possible to fight, they ran, then already... basically, it was the north and the east, and the west came 93, it was very, when it came 93 , in general it became calmer, it started moving forward, in almost one week we liberated the right part of kharkiv, well kharkiv, we took about 15
