[000:00:00;00] we have a lot of friends, it was at that time, and we still have friends, the kharkiv- 1 battalion, ordinary guys, policemen, who also carried weapons on a voluntary basis, these were guys from huriv, who just came and said, we want to be with you to work, then this is the first success, when the boys realized that it was possible to beat them, they ran, then they could not be stopped, 92. it was north , and the east, and the west came 93, she was very, then, when she came 93, it became calmer, forward movement began, and in almost one week we were released

the right part of kharkiv, well, kharkiv, we took approximately 15 prisoners, we are working, well, tanetski, welcome to kharkiv, these are children, former former ukrainians, originally from matiivka, from yasinovat, from donetsk, and on average from 18 to 20 years old, this students who were called up at the beginning of february, but at the same time they say that they have a grant from ukraine, that they travel through ukraine to rest abroad, that they visit kyiv, that they moved freely in our territory until this beginning, and now they fired back with weapons, at that time i already had one dead person, vanya stavnichuk , for this settlement, there was a very high motivation, a very high desire to push the enemy away from the borders of the city, the further i was by a kilometer, two, three , i will push the enemy away, the less they will work on

the rye quarters where my harkhiv live. our counteroffensive, i remember, i remember it very much, and this, an unforgettable emotion, when they, as you know, a chess puzzle, everything, everything, every time and everything fell for them, and drove them away from the border with through the city of kharkiv, and this, you know, everyone sighed, i definitely, i sighed, i understood that we would be shelled, but they would no longer be shelled with artillery, and that was the most important thing then, lol, people became a little easier, people for the first time , some of them left the subway in two months, which was used as

the main shelter, the first wave of return was, after... первые already appeared открытые можно саказать кафе, where you could drink coffee, it's already somewhere, well, in my month, people began to return, people began to understand that the enemy was here the city will be pushed back to some distance, which is already at least, although the tanks and barrel artillery will not reach the city, when we left the city, i left in may, on may 5. so there were already traffic jams, it was impossible to drive through, in the place of the traffic jam, i could not leave during the day, the traffic jams, i think, nothing happened,

it was nice that the city started to glow with lights. they drove calmly, they did not drive and thought that they would be here for a while, they did not turn around in company battle columns, they just drove in one column and that was it, and thought that they would stop by, will come to the city and everything will be fine, you see, they were so sure after receiving kharkiv that...' post, further, various political manipulations are possible, stories about the fact that this is the capital of the real ukraine, and then everything is not real, then everything is pro-western, the armed forces stopped the convoy, there with omon, and there were sticks and shields in the kamazas, well, where were they going, they thought that everything was there, everyone would raise their hands and meet with flowers, but this did not happen, the enemy underestimated us , he thought that now he will enter in

a parade, in columns, and we will meet us with flowers and music, we were greeted by a flurry of fire and bottles with hot sleseni, our military heroic military is very much. our boys and girls died, unfortunately, but they stopped it, and i want to say that i have never seen such courage and such heroism, and i remember the soldiers of the defense, boys, girls, and people of an older generation who stood in lines to receive weapons, the city was practically defended by the people of kharkiv. and residents of the kharkiv region, so everyone fought for their home, everyone fought for their family, everyone

fought for his children, for his mothers, wives, so we had something to fight for, this was the main factor in our endurance, i graduated from school there, and... for me, of course, well, it was important, it was important that kharkiv was released, the school, yes, it is located in the shevchenkiv district, by the way, i think so, it was a matter of his honor to drive the russian woman away from this school, yes, i am grateful for many things. kharkiv residents love their city, so much so that they consider it their own,

with such a ukrainian, such, somewhere, feeling with a sense of ownership, good, and they were not asked, and they came to them with weapons and began to bombard the city, which itself... mainly began to inflict fire damage and then everything ended pro-russian. every fourth person had a relative in the russian federation, or an acquaintance, or some kind of friends, now in slovakia, because no one communicates with anyone, they said that, oh, kharkiv is such a pro-russian city, but not like that, kharkiv was, is and will be a ukrainian city . i want to degenerate the city of herun kharkiv, how

to use it, thank you, thank you to the mayor of the city, thank you to the mayor of the region, thank you to everyone, for it is an honor to reward and thank me. to each of you for the victory you carry every day, for the independence you secure, and for

freedom. the occupiers are pulling their tails, having heard about ukrainian cotton and cotton. and we didn't mention the lucky ones with 30 letters. ukrainian is the language of the free. relevant. data is the foundation for effective decisions. the state statistics service launches the first online survey. we collect information about the level of employment and unemployment among ukrainians. we collect thanks to you. join the survey and become a part of the important state change, to go to the survey page, just scan the qr code on on the screen, it's easier than making coffee in the morning, we make changes, for the sake and thanks to each of

you. we raise the ukrainian banner over the liberated village of bolokhiv, the city of malatiya of the kharkiv region is taken under the control of kubyanivy again

under the ukrainian flag. it was a diversionary strike, and with insignificant forces, that's how it was considered, but i had a feeling that this direction was very promising in terms of... its reconnaissance in terms of destroying the enemy and destroying the entire defense system of it in this region. there was an idea to conduct such an operation back in april months, when with the same operational team, under the leadership of the commander, we worked out the issue of the free part of the kharkiv region. during the first operation, i was considering our further actions specifically in the balaklia district, well, there it was... it was clear that the enemy had stacks of the city, we planned

much less, as it turned out, the initial intention of the operation, well, in the volume that i own, it was a raisin lock, chatter was determined by one of the tasks, because there was a storage base that we lost, a large arsenal that stored sufficient the number of weapons and ammunition in peacetime, there were protected warehouses, the railway track just allowed to provide its offensive kurpony, of course, the enemy also used it to provide its troops, this was also one of the tasks of this pirate, at that time, in the izyum area, a powerful group was formed of the enemy, about 12 battle tactical groups of the enemy, and there were constant assault attacks from the enemy in the direction of sloviansk. in the direction of the border of the kharkiv and

donetsk regions, in any fortress there is its sweet spots, such a sweet spot was precisely the construction of defenses, north of balaklia, the junction between the two battalions, and at this junction, exactly where our blow was delivered, the task of this forward edge was to go to the edge of this river, to take a large vo he was one of the main ones, it is a logistics center and a center of routes that allowed the enemy to move from north to south, goes to izyum, from kupyansk goes to balakleya, and he is the enemy, there were strong prepared positions, we

carefully prepared for the operation, this is detailed studying the enemy, this is knowledge of his structure, his features, his condition, including morale, this is of great importance, this is knowledge of our capabilities, this is detailed planning of actions, we planned the operation for five days in order to pass from the point there is a wolf ravine, through the vlachs in the direction. the most important thing was to break the front line and the enemy's defenses, ours also spent about 60 percent of the planning of the operation, the relief was printed on a 7 m map, each... each unit knew

in detail what it was doing at different points in time the 92nd brigade fought defensive battles in that direction for a long time and knew the terrain of the region very well and was mainly staffed with personnel from the kharkiv region, then the 25th armored landing brigade was selected, the 80th, a separate airborne assault brigade, and, accordingly, more part of the 95th brigade, part of the brigades were in full force, part partially, that we could involve in working out these combat tasks. the operation plan provided that when the brigade of the first echelon, it is 25 separate airborne and 92 separate mechanized brigade, will defeat the enemy in his first position and continue the offensive, we have to go through their battle formations in such a way, let's say the corridors of leading into battle and from a certain line make such a break, dash and go further into the enemy's pigeon defense, cutting the grouping between dukupinsky and izyum

, having created a ring of encirclement, the depth of our task was well 90 km, this is even so, as you know, during planning it was impressively driven, well, we will see at that time also the commander of the department, we studied maps, worked out routes, a lot of plans were made, the commander also noted in our tasks that we, we do not limit you in creativity , in self-initiative and decision-making, your task is to come here, complete the tasks, the ways that this is your right, please do it, if you see it better to do so, do so, and what must be done in order for us to push through, break through, break their defenses there, and move forward, we counted on the fact that the enemy, who had up to 11

battle tactical groups near the border in the territory of russia, which were in reserve, and those 12 battalion groups which were directly in the reserve in izyum. that the enemy would start an advance and try to strike us in the flank of the advancing group, all directions were covered by special units that occupied the defense both in populated areas and on the main road directions, along which it was possible to overturn troops. only moving forward, activity, determination and courage gives us an advantage. the winter operation was such a surprise, before that we were in the slavic direction, we

were removed from our position and told that we are moving to the kharkiv direction, there it is planned offensive, we understood that it would be from... something incredibly cool, large-scale, because we saw how many troops were gathering, and the main thing was to keep everything a secret, that is, even when i called home, i didn't even tell my parents what and where it is happening, it is somewhere in the third decade of august, we also fought big battles before that, and after that we received the task of preparing for the kharkiv operation, we were deployed from donetsk. the area for the offensive, when the general military units were still in the waiting areas, then the artillery has already occupied the areas in temporary firing positions, from which we daily, methodically carried out fire damage

to the enemy. they appeared at us. eyes, eyes, the so-called unit, this is his unit of unmanned aerial vehicles , which allowed us to observe and detect the enemy's targets in the lanes of further action, the lanes of our offensive, that is, we were aware of the front edge necessarily against the enemy, which we knocked out relentlessly with artillery fire, and point shots, dance behind the house. oh, oh, at that time, we have ours at the disposal of the operational-strategic group were already means of fire damage, namely

foreign-made artillery systems of 155 caliber. as well as a battery of mrr 30 multiple rocket launcher systems, success depended precisely on these machines, the targets were selected very successfully , the time was selected very successfully, the operation was planned very successfully, these machines started working long before the operation and only gained pace forward, and when well, let's say the operation to liberate kharkiv oblast began, so we already had a minimum of work, so what are we already played a key role, at that time, precisely this number... of rockets , we still do not use so many, well , one in one operation. the artillerymen also

played a key role, inflicting massive losses on the enemy, defeating his groups there, thanks to the accuracy, efficiency, and professionalism of our artillerymen. we have created two reconnaissance and fire complexes, including a battery of panzerbi 2000 and panzers and batteries. crabs and gave them unmanned aerial vehicles, and our drones constantly hung and we inflicted fire damage on the artillery, during the preparation stage we inflicted a lot of losses on the enemy, destroyed many of his logistics elements for security, these are warehouses with fuel and bridging materials, warehouses with ammunition, and we even managed to capture

a captured lieutenant colonel, then it turned out that he was an officer of the central missile and artillery directorate, which, well, the russians did not believe that the ammunition had been knocked out, and he came to the front line for the purpose of a real check and was captured by us , we at the expense of the 40-44 brigade gave from well 90. on the m777 battery, and the commander’s requirement was that at least eight guns per brigade had to be supported , it was difficult that there were many, starting from whether the weather would favor us, whether the terrain would favor us, whether we would fulfill all the tasks

that were foreseen , again, the limitation of certain resources, the issue of stealth, before the preparation of the operation, we worried a lot about the fact that, if the enemy discovers, he cannot fire a fire attack on the regional concentration and exit areas, it would be just so painful, the movement was covert, fast , in the dark the time is right, and in general, the enemy’s intelligence, frankly speaking, it missed this moment, that is, we conducted an eastern offensive, the so-called, the brigades passed through the ranks of other units and conducted a classic mobile offensive, if you take into account, in general, everything that at the enemy, in this area, of course, this ratio was not in our favor, but we were advancing there

on a rather narrow front, those 7 km that we had chosen, our task was to create an advantage in the composition of the forces of the means in personnel to carry out a foot operation, then there is a tank division against us, a motorized rifle brigade, that is, an advantage in terms of armament, very much in terms of quantity, in terms of such quality. here are tanks, infantry fighting vehicles against us, but i will say, during this war , well, it does not work like that, the correct calculation, the correct plan works, the skill of the commanders, the stability of the troops, the fire superiority works, on the night before the time when the offensives began actions, according to moscow 3030. three, a concentrated fire strike was delivered at

the enemy's control points, and this is how it turns out... disorganization, she played on our hands, and the enemy panicked, the onslaught of combined arms units, artillery fire, which was carried again, again, not as a volley of fire on planned targets, which may or may not be there, namely point strikes, and we understood that the infantry in general, a military unit could advance further. everyone was very anxiously waiting for the first day, somehow it was so tense, it was even in the control post, well, it was felt , the situation was highly centralized , we had to ford the river through the northern donets, we moved two or three cars at a time,

were dispersed in the forests, the enemy was a surprise when we went directly to the front edge and accordingly entered into battle with them, it was a shock for them. shurivka, nova husarivka and baira, with the occupation and release of these three forces, the offensive began near kharkiv region, our units occupied , first the stronghold, moscow, then the stronghold peter, they call it, and then bairak itself, there were such positions, they had so is their hero moscow and peter, it was a movie,

they worked on moscow, kombat, our moscow, we clean, we cleaned. cleaned moscow on peter. the most important thing was, this was the first day, the first hours of the operation, that the combined military units entered the first trench , let's say so, and overcame it, or at least , stuck to it and continued, then, taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, caught up with them and destroyed them in the future. broke through the first echelon, the first positions, well, accordingly, they had nothing further, and somehow unexpectedly, on the first day, we completed the task of the first day in literally four hours, so it turned out that on the first day we

we passed 18 km, someone asked to stop us, stepped on us. someone retreated, when they went out, well, with the aim of opposing us, for example, they had to drive 30 km there, deploy, meet a unit of the armed forces there and fight, and they fell precisely on the units of the brigade, well, in the middle, at the beginning of their events , that is, they were not ready, when the enemy realized that we had already breached the defense and that we were already entering the depth of his defense, he began, began to simply withdraw from the positions, that is, we caught up with him, whoever we could catches and so on, the enemy's defenses were built on key heights, populated areas, and there were appropriate gaps between them, which allowed the advanced units to move

forward, the tactics were such that the enemy's units bypassed the settlements of the point , blocked them, did not give them the opportunity to act, and after they reached a certain ridge line and took positions there, they were followed by other advanced units, which moved behind them and entered the battle further and assaulted other units, entrenched the next strongholds positions, which ensured the advance of other advanced units, head on, this operation did not take place, we made a move on horseback, a very large move. half-board, chess, i think, a couple of such moves , then we can think about the end of the war , one unit does not solve anything here, it is simply the whole organism that works in cooperation, as they work, as attack aircraft, this is how it works there too artillery and
