[000:00:00;00] that there are problems with communication, so we will tell you a little, in the meantime, in the meantime, yuri butusov, by the way, writes that the situation near avdiivka is critical, writes that there is a real threat of losing the city, since the russian infantry entrenched behind the railway, the bridgehead for the attack on avdiivskyi koksokhim, a key complex, is expanding. structures that control the approach to avdiyivka, storm actions will continue to the south, will expand the breakthrough near the village of opytne, which is the second direction of coverage of avdiyvka, writes butusov, here the threat is also increasing. very butus, in turn, praises the 110th mechanized brigade, which, according to him, demonstrates exceptional fighting ability and reliably holds the city.

he also says that the situation, nevertheless, has... more favorable positions than it was , for example, in severo-donetsk or even bakhmut, because, since our troops have better positions, from the point of view of tactics, here, nevertheless, the situation is critical enough, butusav believes that the main thing is not to allow the events to develop according to the so-called bakhmut-solidarity scenario, which in the end will lead to the fall of these cities, here well, since the enemy's advantage in forces exists, such a wise situation is needed here. volodymyr zelenskyy recorded his video message, traditionally, he writes a video message where he mentioned russia's retreat, but how the ukrainian pravda journalists noticed about zaluzhny's column, which is so

fiercely discussed by everyone and around which they break spears in social networks, the president didn't say a word, it's interesting such an observation, why didn't the president react to it, when it seems to me that even if you ask a small child in ukraine what the column is about zaluzhnov, the child would tell right away, ugh, i try not to say anything about the president , so to speak, with a capital letter, and i don’t say anything about the president with a small letter, that’s it, gentlemen, in the meantime i want to say what, what mr. mykola volokhov, with the call sign, abdula, the commander of the tera air reconnaissance unit, as part of the third separate storm brigade, should now join us somewhere. we will talk about the current situation at the front, if he is already with us, there is no ,

broke down, i think that there are some problems again, here, in the meantime, i will say that it is very interesting the vote took place and it was significant yesterday, in oon, we will talk about it a little later , but it is really interesting, i would say unpleasant, er, we can even show it, because the chinese company, the television and radio company, has already prepared a plot even on this occasion with its remarks, well, the fact that you decided to pass a resolution in the un that it is time to lift the embargo on cuba for the americans, because they say there has been an embargo for more than 30 years, i really do not know what has changed in cuba, whether there is now a democratic regime, and not dictator in power, communist, but look at the results of the vote, only two countries voted against, it's the united states and israel, only one country abstained

, it's ukraine, it's literally what they taste now in russia and china and what it really means, then we'll also discuss later, but that what is happening in the world, polarization is happening, and this world is becoming a more dangerous place , we can see it with the naked eye, this is another small evidence, such and such a trend is quite threatening, we are told that there is already mykola volokhov with the call sign abdula, commander unit from where tera as part of the third separate assault brigade appears on our airwaves, mr. mykola, good morning to you, good morning, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, mr. mykola, where are you, what news do you have for us? ah, i am somewhere in the direction of bakhmut, if you know more precisely, then somewhere

on the southern side, the southern... part of the news, well, in general, everything is fine, except for the fact that something is cold today in the morning, i even had to warm up a little, you see . so, in general, everything is not bad, the night went well, yesterday we had good weather, which allowed us to work, in fact with all means of air reconnaissance, we hit infantry targets , we chased the equipment a little, but unfortunately it didn't work out, well, it didn't really work out, because they were a little afraid to come closer, but we attempts were made to fly, although it was a little even outside the zone. ours, let's say, beyond the normal operation of our means, it seems that there should be no rain today either, although autumn has already begun, but in the evening it will be clear

what the result is for us there today, russians yesterday they were more or less, well, you know, the behavior was more standard, lately they are trying to show some activity, they probably want to towards the end of this season, with the weather, with the weather, which allows for more active actions, to achieve some result, to show something to someone , to create an impression, let's say, uh, we are all discussing the high-profile interview and column of valery the industrious general in the british economist, where he said in particular that, in principle, the situation has reached an impasse on the battlefield to a certain extent, and now the war is effectively a world war i war where technology did not allow either side to make any serious deep breakthroughs, and that's what's now stabilized on the front, that's a certain conclusion, in particular, obviously, i

understand, and after our offensive this year, which did not bring us many, conquered lands, as it is now perceived in the army, and uh , you must have learned very... little new , if you heard these words of the brave, you must have learned little new for yourself, well, really, really, mr. zaluzhnyi told, well, it's true corresponds to reality, yes, was it something new for me, rather nothing, because actually my profile, the component that i am engaged in in the third separate steering brigade, it is actually one of the influencing factors, why it is very difficult to act, why it's very difficult to attack as a smart side, yes, well, it's actually kamikaze drones, it's actually unmanned reconnaissance technology, adjusting

fire, ah, it's really very difficult to do anything when any armored vehicle that enters the impact zone of the drones will be destroyed from very likely, right? what does this tank have to do with it? it costs millions, or the bmp or the armored personnel carrier is modern, and the camica drone is just like that, you know, it’s cool, expensive, the most expensive, but maybe 30,000 uah, the most expensive, the most charged, with everything, the most top-notch and, accordingly, the most effective performance fire missions, and what do i feel in connection with this, well, this is logical, it had to be like that, you have to convince yourself that the enemy is weak, victory will be easy, and the finale will be a victory march on the moscow square, you have to

prepare for more realistic scenarios, i i don't predict the future, i can't say how it will be, i decided for myself that in another year, there will definitely be one of this or that intensity, because there are military operations, and we have to watch there, but a small note about whether our the results in the counter-offensive, whether significant or insignificant, whether modest or immodest, whether much repulsed or little, yet in this world is relative, so some people think that we are now in the position of a losing country, because we lost first a full-scale territory and now we have to repel them, but i have a slightly different angle on this i see, we were attacked by a country that was preparing, that surpasses us in numbers , in human numbers, in technology, surpasses us in the quality of this technology, for example, has

aviation, has a nuclear component, finally has a navy, and we survived, we preserved sovereignty, preserved the state, and now we are able to carry out counteroffensive actions against this country, and at the same time repel something like that. of course, not as much as i wanted, but well, as for me, i personally perceive it as a great result and as , uh, a feat, yes, books will be written about it later and many people gave their lives for this, so i wouldn't say that the result is insignificant, yes, of course, there are always certain overestimates, and it's good that mr. zaluzhny somehow brings people down to earth and explains how it actually happens, this this is the reality, you can't do anything about it, it's better to be aware of it than to pretend that everything is somehow different, mr. mykola, i agree with you that it's good that it sobers people up a bit, what mr.

zaluzhny wrote, but on the other hand, people it was said that we would already enter the crimea and would already be there in the summer, crimea will finally be ours, not only according to documents, but we will finally drive the russians out of there, it was not only the experts of the unified news who spoke in the marathon, this was said by official representatives, persons, representatives, and now the head of our intelligence department, for example , who read this column by general zaluzhnyi, are angry with him, angry with him that he writes this, strange, strange, well, you know, i can't predict the future, i tend to think that no one can, but i tend to is to believe, that's why when we talk about the war, you know, people ... they can't make a normal forecast, well, people can't answer

the question of what the share price will be in a month, or what will happen, yes, what fluctuations, they try, but it happens successfully, it's extremely rare, you know, to get it, you can't predict the weather from day to day, so i would actually be grateful, not angry, because if some people try, if some people were wrong and others were right. then who should be angry at, no one at all, should be angry, you know, but if you are already angry, then better than himself, aa within the framework of those decisions or those hopes that a person has, i asked, i will ask not just now, but just now, so the viewer writes, and you see, now they are angry not only at the hard worker, but also at us, she says , that the leading words of the lunatic taste even more than the swamp ones, it seems that you were just waiting for this to tell everyone, but we said, well... the point is not what we said, the point here is that that's how it happened, yes

, you know, could it have been better, well, could we have conquered more, during this period, yes, well probably, it is possible, or maybe they will lose more, well, with a greater probability, look, you should understand the following that now winter is starting, it is not inevitable, and it is extremely difficult to carry out offensive actions in winter, no matter what anyone says, yes , again from the people... who commented, i think it's great that our people and our commanders and our government have a positive attitude, it's also important, well, i personally, when i wake up in the morning, if i go to the position, i'm determined to hit the targets, does it happen every day, no, no every day, but i am determined for it, i believe in it, i convince myself that we will have a result today, you know, it is better to convince myself that the result will be greater, strive to achieve it, well...

what will happen, you know, that's cool, when a person's goal goes beyond the scope of a person's life, then life is easy to live happily, eh good, good words, these are good words, i also subscribe to it, i just want to say that we ever let's figure it out urgently, because inflated expectations definitely cost the lives of the best possible representatives of this country, and when we read there in an american magazine , an american journalist who claims that there were, for example, some orders to take some cities without having the means to do so, but simply by meat assaults, as the muscovites do, and we hear about that , that the military was told no, i don't know if it's true, we will also deal with it someday, i have no reason not to trust, for example, an american journalist and a colleague, but the question is, i will ask it as hard as possible, but mr. mykola, you can not answer, if you can't, it's up to you competences, if... the political leadership decides to shift the responsibility for

the failures in the counteroffensive to valery zaluzhnyi personally and he is dismissed and removed from the position of the army chief, how will you personally accept such a decision? well, look, i can tell you, about such a question, i can tell you one thing, and again about part of what you commented before, what i can say for myself, i can say what i see in my unit , so the third separate assault brigade, conducting quite effective offensive actions, yes, there are results, you have combat orders, andriivka has been recaptured, firstly, a stabilized section of the front on bakhmut , secondly, andriivka has been recaptured, and thirdly , a springboard has been deployed for future offensive actions, yes, well, in the current configuration, we managed to act effectively, despite the fact that we suffered not so many

irreparable losses, yes, many wounded, indeed , but not so many irreparable losses, so i am inclined, if i was ... strong , to accept any responsibility in such situations as a general, well, everyone's responsibility, yes, and when someone says that somewhere, you know, there are a lot of such rumors in the war, that somewhere , someone, everyone died, or somewhere there is very low-quality management, well, it is necessary to find those low-quality managers who make such decisions, you know, not to generally say that all bad guys or all leadership is bad or ... uh, well, all commanders are bad, to find the specific people who made that decision, to understand why they made it, right? sometimes those decisions that seem, on the surface, seem very wrong, may have some meaning, if you dig deeper, sometimes you can't talk about it, because , sorry, the war is a military secret, and it can cause harm, yes

, we need to understand this, yes, personally, well, i think that we, ukrainians, are worth more. .. to concentrate on achieving a result and thinking about how we should move forward, what about such, you know, showdowns, and why is it possible, it is possible, it is possible, it is possible, a very short question, but i understand that i can ask you also a difficult situation, or you personally and your beards trust valery zalozhny as military commander? let me say for myself, i personally do, i personally do, i somehow have a problem with this, you know, personally... i have no communication with him, but being in the hierarchic pyramid, yes, we were able to act effectively, that the brigade was able to reach thank you, i know that not everyone has different circumstances , yes, i won't say that it is connected there, only with the fact that we managed to assemble a good quality team, well, that's how it happened historically, maybe it's the

circumstances, maybe it's just luck, but it turned out, well, that's our story, that's mine feeling from this situation, you know, i don't see any big problems, but again , i'm glad, even glad, that they started talking about the war in more real terms, because yes, indeed, when you look at the forecasts, you'll say that we will take crimea there tomorrow, i don’t know, maybe there is a grouping under crimea, because i am not under crimea and we really can, but it doesn’t seem like that, i generally have a bad attitude towards such, you know, predictions of the future and i believe that with this should be more careful, thank you, mr. mykola, speak about real affairs, mykola abdula volokhov, the commander of the tera air reconnaissance unit as part of the third separate assault brigade was in touch with us, we are going for a short break, we will return and summarize the affairs at the front with serhiy zgurets, our military expert, stay with us . there are

marathon project with vitaly portnikov, every sunday at 20:10 on espresso. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson, live streaming. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. we return to the ether and serhiy zugrets, military expert, director of the defense company, is already in touch with us. mr. sergey, good morning. you. mr. serhiy, let's continue what we said earlier.

mykola abdulo volohoov about valery zaluzhny's column, which is discussed by ukrainians and not only ukrainians, it is clear that it is also directed at a western audience, because this column itself, the economist in the white house reacted, the coordinator of the national security council of the white house john kirby said that this article, i think it highlights how important that we continue to support ukraine. what do you think the western audience heard, did valery zaluzhny manage to get his point across? indeed, both the article and the interview, there is also an essay published in the economist edition, they are so conceptual and important, because they actually form an understanding of the new reality, these approaches recognize that the concept with which the ukrainian army was preparing there together with partners with those regulations regarding the penetration of the russian defense there, it

actually needs changes, and the risks of transitioning into positional war can be resolved only at the expense of such technological changes, which in fact i hope will be heard by our western partners, because as i recall, last year at almost the same time, zaluzhny also gave an interview to the publication. .. it was exactly a year ago, he said then that i need 300 tanks, 500 bmps, 600 arch systems there, if i am not mistaken, and then it was recognized as such a necessary component for the advancement of ukraine, based on the approaches that were at that time time, but for this time, for a year, the situation has changed, we see that the aid was found and came at a slower pace than planned, and everything was important at the moment when it was needed, now we are moving to a new level, when we need both financial

aid, and technical aid, and weapons help, but in the format of a new vision of war, i.e. based on technological solutions that can be implemented in ukraine itself, at the expense of the help of our partners, so i think that, in fact, this is such a new call of the brave that it is necessary to raise the technological stakes in this war. and find options for getting out of the stalemate of war, which is based on old approaches. i hope that our european and american partners have heard this, i have already seen many reactions from leading european and american defense experts, i think that their voice will also resonate in addition to the theses expressed by zaluzhdnyi in his materials. i also still want to clarify in your opinion whether the situation will change next year, or this situation that the industrious taco is talking about, the trench warfare, which does not play

in our favor, this is the reality of next year, what can become a game changer? technologically, do you see such game changers somewhere on the horizon? in fact, as i said earlier, i still expect that the next year will be difficult, at least the first half of the year, because all the things that zaluzhna is talking about can, in principle, be implemented quickly, provided that there is clear cooperation between our state institutions, but in in any case, a number of components are connected with the supply of american there european weapons, in particular i say. about ammunition, there is a feeling that the first six months it will be enough like this, difficult and exhausting, and technological changes, if they will take place, based on the vision, visa, recommendations of the helper, then they will give their sprouts, well, somewhere at the end of next year,

that is, there will be such a certain, certain pause, where the war is otherwise, it will be in a positional version of its own, and it is very important that all our partners and we use this pause as much as possible to create the prerequisites for the positional war to turn into a maneuvering one, which is exactly what these recommendations and valery zaluzhny's vision, in his vision there are many directions, five directions , each of which includes projects and measures that must be implemented, but their implementation... and time, and finances, and consolidation of the intellectual and industrial abilities of our enterprises , our engineers and designers, the same applies to our partners , because they must understand that with their approaches , they also cannot conduct hostilities with the russian federation, and the transformation

that zaluzhny is talking about also applies to of the armies of the united states and the armies of nato countries, so i think that these conclusions and recommendations should also shake the brains of our partners and thus look for joint quick exits from this impasse crisis, a little less than two minutes remain, under avdiivka, which is there now situation, because tusov writes that now there is a threat of losing avdiyivka, even, yes, i saw these two materials of yuri botusov, he really says that on the northern flank, where the railway goes along avdiyvka, where the kokhsohim is happening, there is an enemy is trying to cross the railway, according to his estimates, he has already crossed the railway in some areas, other sources say that the enemy was knocked out of the railway, but yuri makes such a significant measure there that the enemy is building fortifications close to the railway, using engineering

equipment , concreting, new fortifications that are created there, which will then complicate theirs. murder, and the ukrainian side at this time is still relying on the line that existed before, and possibly relying on the capabilities of the kohsohim itself as a powerful fertification structures, that is, he hints at the fact that it is necessary to be more actively prepared to carry out fortification, although we previously perceived that in fact avdiyivka is such a reliable defense node, and now i think that the ukrainian military leadership is now directing a significant amount of forces to this area in order to deter ... the advance of the enemy and the losses of the enemy, as we see, are considerable, and such as correspond to the fact that it will be extremely difficult for the enemy to advance. mr. serhiy, thank you, serhii zurets, military expert, director of the defense company was with us, we, from andriy seichuk, we will return to ether at 10:10 and continue our marathon, then espresso will feature the project of our colleagues from radio

liberty morning freedom, and i remind you that traditionally at 9 o'clock we honor with a minute of silence all those ukrainians whose lives were cut short russian aggression. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who
