[000:00:00;00] work, that's all, we work, but now you can rest over there, that's all, i lay down in the shade somewhere, near the car, or in the car on a gurney, i lay down, turned on some music in my headphones, i have half an hour , i closed my eyes, that's it, i'm resting , everything's fine, everything's fine, yes, in half an hour we have to be at such a point, and it's fine , i turned it on again, worked again, let's go again, let's go. well, i don't know, it was so natural for me that i didn't even notice these everyday inconveniences at the front, inna with the battalion rescues soldiers in the zaporozhye direction, at first she was near the village of velyki novosilky, there the first rotation was relatively calm, the woman felt the real war when she went to the field. we were

on evacuation, we took out the wounded. and already returning from the evacuation from the evacuation, we ran into a rock, a fragment , or, well, with something, we damaged the wheel, and the rubber broke, it started to brake, it was very loud, there was intensive work, and in the midst of , as they say, at the very peak of intensive work, in this happens to us, that is... they are there under shelling, under airstrikes, under actual hailstorms, because they were pounding with hailstorms at that time , including, lying there in hiding, they made those wheels, they called, somehow they made their way through the contact, we tried to contact kombat batalna, so that we finally

found a way there, there was a connection, we contacted kombat, he helped us a lot, friend, diesel, he was then in the middle of the night, just him , dialed me and simply asked what you have, i say, yes and yes, we have one trouble, the size of the wheels is like this, in half an hour i will bring it to you, 98% of the work of the medivac, on the front, is to wait, you ... sit constantly in combat readiness, wherever you are, or at the evacuation point, or at the tpd, or somewhere there you still sit, always ready for work , you always have a car ready, you always have all the crew members ready, the entire evacuation link, you sit, just wait, then if it happens that you need

medivac help. medivac has always been a goal, not just for us in full scale, it's been a goal since the 14th of the year, because knocking out a medic from, well, a medic in coffee cups, yes, from evacuation, is a very, very great luck, because if the unit is left without medical aid, if the sub -unit is left without evacuation, that’s great, especially if you knock out with one movement of the trigger, or with one pressure on the trigger, you knock out at least four people, i.e. the driver, two paramedics and a wounded person, that

's bingo, during the entire time that there were battles with the traffic lights, the number of wounded was about three times less, than now in one day, the intensity of the fighting, unfortunately, unfortunately, now yes, we have various injuries, but to a greater extent, these are shrapnel gunshot wounds, and from shells, from cabs, from mines, from artillery and so on and so on, traumatic amputations of limbs. to varying degrees, because there are a lot of so-called petal cassettes flying over our heads, that is, they are very small mines , they are very small, but they are very small, but they are able to tear off a person's foot, even in special breeches or in special shoes there, so we have

very... a lot of these medium and heavy injuries, unfortunately, a lot of amputations, inna olkhova continues to work and will remain in the army until victory, and after victory... i want to turn off the phone, at least for a week, i just want to turn it off, and go somewhere with my husband, in in some slums where there are no people, no one at all, just no one, i don’t know if it is physically possible, at all, to find some corner where there are no people in our country, but we will try to do it, just go , so that no one not to see, just to be, to be alone, not even at lonely, but just to be without communication, in silence, so that no one calls, or no one writes, or no one pulls, just breathe out, for me,

the only thing to wait for is victory, not peace, as they say now, oh, we want peace , no, i want victory, khrystyna parubiy, espresso tv channel. what's up vasyu, i drank an antibiotic, yes, i took an antibiotic, sorry about drinking, gavrilo, you are also sick, sick, i drank an antibiotic, it hurt your stomach, there are discounts on helpex, 20% in pharmacies, plantain, and savings. espresso celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2023. we proudly present ours new ethereal look. stay tuned for the updated

victories and losses, analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics, serhii rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this. people who have information and shape public opinion. people defending ukraine and creating the future right now are the most important and interesting thing in the verdict program by serhii rudenko, from monday to friday at 20:00, repeat at 12. greetings, i am olga len, these are the chronicles of the hostilities, and let's immediately proceed to the examination of the map of the hostilities to find out what happened in those days, and then we will discuss it, the map of hostilities for the period of october 26-31, 2023, avdiivka hits. records and prepares for a siege. the occupiers have already

changed the tactics of their attack on avdiivka twice, but they continue to suffer huge losses, at the same time , the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine has narrowed to two bridgeheads in the south of ukraine, and they have again punched a hole in crimea in air defense october became a month of numerous counter-offensives, while the armed forces of ukraine reduced the number of counter-offensive activities in the south of ukraine, the rashists , on the contrary, went on the offensive along almost the entire length of the front, especially in kupyansk, bakhmutsk. in the tavdiiv directions. however , traditional meat assaults under the cover of a large number of armored vehicles ultimately led to huge losses of the enemy and the renewal of several monthly records of the armed forces of the russian federation for the destruction of russians. in particular, our heroes lost 509 tanks or more in a month 20% of their total number at the front, as well as 813 armored vehicles, or another 14% of all armored vehicles involved in battles. against the background of these figures

, 750 destroyed artillery systems and more than 22,000 liquidated occupiers look, although not a record, but demonstrate the bloodshed of the battles and the professional efficiency of the armed forces. avdiyivka is preparing for a siege, in addition to the two armies that were involved earlier to take action, the occupiers were forced to add another one, because the results of the three-week battles turned out to be unexpectedly negative for them, in only 20 days, the armed forces russia... lost 6,500 of their soldiers, 100 tanks and 250 armored vehicles. during this time of continuous attacks on the city, the rashists were able to expand the zone of their control by several square kilometers near krasnogohorivka, north of avdiivka, and get close to the coke-chemical plant, which is the main fortress of the city's defense forces. they also managed to gain a foothold on the tericon towering above avdiivka, as well as approach the rampart, along which the line now runs. for the first time, the front was in an impenetrable

defense in the north of the invaders for a week moved the emphasis of the offensive to the southern flank area of ​​vodyanye and opitnoye, but could not achieve substantial success here, except for advancing several hundred meters in the area of ​​the quarry to the northeast of vodyanye. meanwhile, it is becoming obvious that the storming of the coke plant will be the culminating battle for avdiivka, for which the final preparations are currently underway. instead, they were able to read the zsu. to attack the russian redoubts on the southern outskirts of the city in the direction of spartak donetsk district and throw the enemy back several hundred meters. now the main task of the russians is at the crossroads and advance in the direction of the villages of stepne and berdechi to cut logistics into the city through the village of orlivka. in contrast to bakhmut, with which avdiivka is now often compared, the problem of the latter's defense lies in significantly smaller logistical capabilities. thus, in the narrowest city, the width of the throat through which aid can be received is less than 10 km or 4.5 km

from each edge of the front. any narrowing of this distance substantially increases the threat of a blockade of the city. at the same time, unlike bakhmut, avdiyivka has a huge industrial area construction as in azovstal, where, if resources are available, it is possible to hold a defense for many months. renewal of the offensive of the occupiers near bakhmut. according to reports from the general staff, the enemy has significantly strengthened his units. in bakhmut and went from defense to offensive. this information is most relevant for the northern section of the front in the vicinity of the city. at the same time , the attacks of the russians in a week brought them nothing but death. instead, on the southern flank of the front, the armed forces of ukraine managed to make an important breakthrough of the occupation redoubts to the east from andriivka, in particular by overcoming a water obstacle in the form of a dozer helmet. at the same time , our soldiers managed to break through to the south of andriivka in the direction of kurdyum. which is under constant pressure from the armed forces

of ukraine, also from the western side. considering the efforts of the defense forces, the general staff probably plans to release kurdyumivka and ozaryanivka this year in order to significantly expand its offensive capabilities south of bakhmut. counteroffensive in the tokmak and berdyan directions. at the end of october, on the southern front, the armed forces significantly slowed down counter attack in fact for several weeks now, the single hottest location has been the robot village. on the left flank , fighting continues without significant changes on the outskirts of vervovoy in the south, the enemy is trying to counterattack, but without results. instead, on the right flank , our military concentrated on pro-enemy defense in the area of ​​the villages of nesteryanka and kopani, the defense forces managed to pass and gain a foothold in several areas of the front between the interrobotine and kopani, as well as north of kopani. meanwhile, two weeks after the attack of the atakams on at the berdyan airfield, the occupiers finally took away all the rotorcraft from the occupied city,

realizing the futility of their stay there as a convenient target. the kherson threat is gaining momentum, a bridgehead on the left bank. kherson oblast began to seriously disturb the occupiers, in addition to the reinforcements that arrived here last week, this week the commander, general, colonel teplinsky, who previously commanded the troops in kherson oblast, in particular, directed their withdrawal from the right bank, changed here. currently on the islands and in the vicinity of several forces of the armed forces of ukraine , more than 1,000 soldiers have been concentrated, who, with the support of artillery and drones, are constantly maneuvering, temporarily establishing permanent control over certain areas of the kherson region, but this week special assignments. the armed forces carried out several successful operations deep into the occupied territory. it happened in the district villages of krynka and pidstepne, north of oleshok. and given the fact that our troops managed not only to preserve this bridgehead for two months, but also to constantly expand it, it is likely that this operation with distraction will soon turn into

another section of a full-fledged counteroffensive. counteroffensive in crimea. the situation in crimea is directly related to the events on the left bank of kherson. forms with them a single puzzle of a great counteroffensive. the other day, our missiles hit the air defense base located in the village of molochne, near sakiv, where the s-300 complex was destroyed. in this way , another big hole was punched in the defense of the russian armed forces, in addition, rockets flew over sevastopol, novofedorivka, and olenivka. however, apart from the columns of smoke, there are currently none confirmations of exactly where they hit. we win daily, death to enemies. well, so we see, such active actions are taking place, and now let's talk about them with ivan kyrychevsky, a military expert of defense express, because, oh, congratulations, ivan, good day, and literally describe to us the situation, what is happening, what kind of offensive actions in all directions, how they differ from those offensive attempts that

happened before, and they were at least twice by the russians, and actually, what is the peculiarity of these and now actions. i think so now, it is appropriate to describe what the russians are doing at the front simply by the term campaign of struggle for the initiative, well, because the features , let's say so, of the actions of the russians, which allowed us to give such a description, they appeared even after the first attempts to storm avdiyivka on october 10-11 and fortunately, nothing much has changed in this regard during these three weeks, as well as in the fact that, well, it is difficult to say that they have any really noticeable advances there that would bring them closer to the realization of at least one of the goals of their offensive , because if you take with the fact that, even at the beginning of october, they tried to advance simultaneously in seven directions and in the south, they generally made an offensive, precisely in the verbovoy district, they tried to lose what they call officially, to restore lost positions, but in fact they also tried

to advance, on in parallel with the bakhmut direction, the russians also became active on the widows in bakhmka. tried to advance on the exits on the northern flank in the selodar area, and last week they were, and this week, when syrskyi, commanding the troops stated that the russians had gone on the offensive, well, this was roughly the same thing that was meant, somehow it is strange, it turns out that we have lost sight of mariinka, but it turns out that the russians are there in terms of the number of assaults, well, they are attacking so actively , as well as near avdiivka, the only difference is probably that there is no population of mariintsi there , in fact, there are only our military, who get a position there, and perhaps purely because they, well, command on the ground, there is no one to deal with this information work, we have to constantly repel attacks

russians, but considering that they are attacking simultaneously in several directions, they seem to have such a powerful group on our territory, which is estimated at 440,000 bayonets, but at the same time they do not stop the attack and have no tangible results, at the same time from our side, the transfer of some units from the south to avdiivka is clearly already recorded, well, because the 47th assault brigade demonstrated there yesterday that it burned this system of horynnych snakes, well, that’s clear, the first confirmation, let’s say, of unofficial data with regard to the fact that the transfer of some units under the audiivka has begun, of course it would be possible to reduce this entire characteristic to the fact that, what is happening in our country, will we leave there, who is actually controlling the terekon now, is he, or it is appropriate to consider him in the syrian zone, or is he still under...' the role of the russians, as the russians are close to the avdiivka koksokhim, but taking into account the fact that the russians even for the rashists themselves, avdiivka is only part of

their puzzle called the great offensive in the east with a set deadline of december 31, 2023, the year to occupy the donetsk region, which judging by them is hardly on schedule, let's say, on the schedule, and on the other hand, our military command clearly considers its actions precisely as such a large strategic campaign of struggle for initiates which is obvious even based on the same military logic as to take some units from the south, continuing the assault operations there, instead transfer these units to the avdiiv direction in order to create an appropriate density of defense there and make it so that in in principle, there was no question, for example, of leaving evdiivka, so here, by the way, it is precisely to talk about such a large general campaign of struggle on the initiative and already within this framework, i apologize for the inconvenience of discussing some specific areas, before

we move on to the afternoon about avdiivka we will talk in general a little later there after a short break, because there will be a suitable guest and we will be able to go into more detail there, but look, before moving on to the south, you mentioned maryanka, and that in fact, over the past day, most of the attacks were in district maryanka, what is the importance of maryanka in this case, why are the russians attacking there so actively, well, why do they want it... in such a general framework, well, because avdiivka is also included, it is their control of the approaches to donetsk, and mariinka, this is generally a ruse, control of approaches to donetsk, how can you set the task of occupying the entire donetsk region, there on a certain date, without solving the basic task, to move our troops away from the temporarily occupied donetsk, well, if we reason by the logic of the enemy, it is possible here when we try to characterize the enemy's actions there donbass, we always forget the fact that from the temporarily occupied donetsk to the front line. less than 30 km there yesterday, it was interesting as a result of which, for example, fuel tanks in the temporarily

occupied donetsk caught fire, because there is no need for any long-range missile less than 30 km , it will be enough, or maybe even some soviet anti-aircraft missile, and maybe even a jdam could be thrown there , well, that is, donetsk in principle, if you look at it from a non-traditional point of view, maybe if there were better operational capabilities, there, if the russians won't... of course they didn't concentrate their fortifications there, well, roughly speaking, too many, if they did, but donetsk is, in principle, one could even say, this is the gateway for the russians, for their corridor from from donbas to crimea, it turns out that nothing can be transported by rail, that is, to the volnavakh district, to melitopol, to pologa, until some echelon, a cargo, arrives purely physically in donetsk, it turns out that donetsk is now for the rashists, it is at the same time a very important large-scale transfer base, which. at a distance of less than 30 km from the front line, it turns out that berdyanskyi was there less than 110 km from the front line and

they got there like kamsam, and now it turns out that against this background, donetsk is in an even more vulnerable position, so it is obvious that the russians, planning some strategic actions, are immediately trying to to act widely, and it worked for them according to the principle of combined ships, that is, they not only intensified the assaults in the odiivsk direction, because let 's remind you just in case, the russian military operations in the siege format have been going on there since the spring, there was also an activation in the summer, just maybe part of our fellow citizens just now noticed it, well, that is, constant hostilities near avdiyivka and there are already constant conversations that this will be the second bakhmut, and actually, if we continue this parallel with connected vessels, then if both activation near avdiyivka and near bakhmut they they went forward, well, they are also storming near mariinka, and in general , they have an ulgodar too, probably, as such, let’s say... well, not a reserve one, but rather one too, which is too close near volnovy, which is also, if also an important

railway knot, that is, the russians understand, that they will not be able to advance without securing their logistics, that is why it appears to them as such, well, the starting task is to push us to the avdiivka district and at the same time to the mariinka district and not stop the offensive near the coal mine, because also, by the way, an interesting story turns out, we compare a lot with the events that took place near the coal miner last... winter, but what is happening now under the falsehoods , too, if there was no such media attention, well, there is none, maybe because no one wants to have it there, maybe this is the reason , well, it's logical, well, well, look, you already are ivan mentioned that they had been transferred, well, at least the 47th brigade, which we all saw there, how it worked there in a substandard manner, and now it was transferred from the zaporizhia front, but what is happening on the zaporizhia front? well, here we can only make certain assumptions that, let's say, compared to the fact that we have

two processes, what if a part of the 47th brigade was thrown from there, and on the other hand in... capture certain important heights in the area, which allow us to expect that there will be a counteroffensive in the south, if not so slow, but sure, well it may have taken place, well, it is possible that some sort of retitional replacement was taking place, that is, without fluctuations in the number there, various units may have been transferred, simply how else to imagine the situation that our troops there in the south continue to gain success. so much so that the russians are forced to build additional fortifications in the polog area, and at the same time that the 47th brigade lit up its battle near avdiyivka, well, there is no way, it cannot be explained otherwise, although one can also skip another option, which can be very there are many more, as i would say information games, in order to make the russians there think that whole brigades are shooting at us from the south and that they are going

to avdiirka, perhaps to deliberately mislead them, so that, well, not only the russians can play with the factor of suddenness, obviously, our command is also trying with the available means, which are also to create a factor of suddenness during some assault actions in the south, or in order to repel, well , repel the russians near avdiivka, well, about the general battle, i think we will talk closer to end of the transfer, now we have a little commercial break, then we will talk in more detail about avdiivka, so stay with us. and we'll be back in a few minutes. there are discounts on karsil of 15% in psyllanyk, pam and oskad pharmacies. see this week in the judicial control program. two months of work of the renewed public integrity council.
