[000:00:00;00] in a settlement in zaporizhzhia region, an official investigation was initiated into the actions of military officials who organized an event for the day of missile troops and artillery near the front line. i quote the report of the state bureau of investigation , about 30 houses and commercial buildings located near the site of the attack were damaged by the blast wave and debris. currently, the employees of the sbi are conducting investigative activities establishing the details of the circumstances that led to the tragedy. contact us now. zaporizhzhia regional council. glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy, i congratulate you. glory. well, the 128th separate hirska-shurmova transcarpathian brigade confirmed the death of 19 of our defenders. so. the enemy hit the gathering of our troops. well, i would like to ask you what the current situation is in hospitals. is mass blood collection currently being carried out ? and so

on. what do you hear about this case now? in zaporizhzhia, blood collection is carried out constantly, the zaporizhzhia region needs it constantly and all blood groups are constantly accepted, the blood transfusion center works, as they say, 24.07 to the full extent and, in principle, tries to cope with the needs, periodically events are held aimed at raising the level, let's say, of popularizing this event among the population, donating blood, etc., vladtsi is attended by well-known people there, well , this also contributes, and it is also necessary to take into account that a large number of military personnel are treated not in zaporizhzhia, in zaporizhia, measures related to their stabilization are carried out, and further hospitalization and treatment are carried out further there from the city of zaporizhia , dnipropetrovsk region, there and further, further, depending on the severity of the injury, the possibility of delivery, etc., therefore there were cases when

soldiers from zaporizhzhia were treated even in lviv, if their state of health allowed them to be transported there. yes, mr. serhiy, i understand this case, well, i don’t even know to the end what settlement it is about, whether they hit the location of the deployment of a military unit, i am interested in the situation with civilians who may have been injured as a result of this russian attack, this, well, this information has already been made public, this is a village of the zarichneshuvag otg, and for your understanding, the otg of zarichneshuvag is the closest otg to the front line, it borders a large number directly those otg that are already, through which hostilities are taking place, there having a border with the tepnohorsk community, there with orihivska , etc., well, and as a result, accordingly, this is the closest, the closest point, which was considered conditionally and safe to place

certain actions there , of course, it is dangerous from the point of view of artillery fire, and it is conditionally safe, but completely dangerous for rocket fire, and accordingly, this is the territory of the village, there were certain premises occupied by the military on the territory of the village, and it is clear that the enemy knew about what is there deployed military personnel, and the video that was circulated, where it is clear that the drone was continuously watching what was happening, well, rather, the enemy saw the massive arrival of the military, understood that there was a certain gathering and had the opportunity to strike. mr. serhiy, i would like to ask you about the news from the so-called zaporizhzhya front, we understand that the term is extremely broad, but the battles continue, the battles are fierce, the battles are tough, so there were sometimes positive signals, but we understand how difficult it is to advance in concreted and

mined fields. that now maybe there are some breaking news? to date, the main, main task of the defense forces is to hold those lines that have already been occupied , the enemy is constantly making attempts to counterattack and repulse, the lost, ah, is done from different directions, both from the south, and west, and also from the east in in the western direction, there near the villages of kopania. not nestyryanka, there were even certain advancement successes, they were insignificant, a few hundred meters there, but still this advancement, and each one gives a certain result. recently, the enemy made an attempt from the side of polog hit in the rear, the troops in order to create, let's say, such a mini-boiler, but he did not succeed, he was repulsed by the defenders, and accordingly, now

they focused primarily on the fact that in order to gain a foothold, create opportunities for further actions in this direction, and the hostilities accordingly do not stop, they continue, the situation is similar at the junction of the zaporizhia and donetsk regions, where the defense forces are primarily engaged in holding what was managed to be repelled in the summer. well, accordingly, work, novoprokopivka, battles they are fierce there, the situation is difficult, maybe you have some accessible, open information from this direction, but in principle, i just mentioned it, it just concerned primarily this direction, nestyryanka and kopani, these are villages that are located right next to robotino, but more to the west, and in this direction it expands to a counteroffensive. accordingly, if you conventionally look at the map, then these villages create a certain ledge, from vasylivka, and

its cutting will allow a wider attack in the vasylivka direction, and vasylivka is already such a logistics center, in the direction of which there is every reason to hope that this will create a threat for further actions in the direction of the energy donation, and for the enemy , first of all, a threat, in addition, it must be understood that for those who went to melitopol, he knows that in the distance between zaporizhzhia and vasylivka there are a large number of heights, now the enemy is entrenched on one of them in the village of kamianske , and it is not possible to dislodge him from there. the creation of rear, flank pressure, will create an opportunity in the future to knock the enemy out of these heights and go to those heights that

are already directly connected with vasylivka and have an advantage in artillery, accordingly, in this direction, mr. serhiy, tokmak is temporarily occupied, that hear stokmak, we understand that there is an extraordinary, for the enemy , a railway and in general transport hub. what is in tokmak? tokmak was, and still is, a key enemy outpost in this area, with a large number of troops there concentrated, a large amount of equipment, ammunition, and in principle, due to what is placed in the togma, the enemy is operational and provides the entire front line, accordingly, there is constant pampering, but... we see that this is not enough to create significant obstacles, but well we have what we have, respectively, yes, and also an extremely unpleasant and alarming signal, in particular, the enemy is trying to extend a railway branch, from

rustov on the don to the crimea, and part of this transport corridor must go through the zaporizhia region, which is now what with that construction, well, in fact, almost all of this railway runs along through the zaporizhia region, because at the exit from mariupol to the border of the zaporizhia region, there is not such a long distance, in fact the enemy is building an alternative land corridor, a railway along the highway, which already exists, which has been there since soviet times, and which they have now called there tavlida 2 road, on the contrary... there is nothing new there, it is the road that existed, they repaired it a little and gave it a different name, but they announced that they were going to build the railway, they started certain works related to digging up the fields along the road, as if for

the laying of railway tracks, well, let's see , firstly, how far they will succeed, and secondly, this is quite such a large-scale after all, the project is a long distance that will not be completed: in a few hours, relatively speaking, these potholes on the road will be patched, but let's see how the enemy will develop, before that all similar infrastructure projects that they announced, but globally ended in nothing , in this case, the fact is that the railway station near takmak, the railway station in kamizhar, which are nodes for the unification of melitopol, polog, tokmak, there with mariupol, and in general from the territory of the russian federation, the donetsk region, they are already in the zone of direct damage of the haimars system, are in the zone of damage by long-range artillery, drones, etc.,

and that is why the enemy understands that it will be extremely difficult to use them for military purposes in full. mr. sergey, we literally have a minute left if we are talking about preparation of zaporizhzhia for the winter campaign, for the winter... period, what is being done, what is not being done? energy supply systems are being reconfigured, in order to minimize the consequences in case of arrivals , safety, let's say, measures are being created in order to again ensure maximum preservation in the event of damage, backups have been created there, people already know what the queue is, well, who wants to know , which disconnection, what six queues have been created, in which mode they will work, how often they will disconnect, will depend on how stable the system will work, it depends primarily on the shelling. thank you, mr. serhiy, serhiy lyshenko, deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, was in

asscolt? well, missile boats of project 22800 are a modification of a whole family of boats, of the buyan type, which are produced by the zelenodol plant. zelenodorolsk is there in the area of ​​nizhny novgorod, such a self-build the russians have an enterprise that specializes in small ships. so, when the russians bought in the 14th year. crimea, here, our enterprises were looted, including the kerch hall, such a powerful enterprise that used to build, and er, large civilians. ships and large warships, well, our flagship, skr sahaidachny, was being built there, and then they announced that they actually sold it, or leased it, or handed it into slavery to this

zelenodol plant, novgorod plant, they promised mountains of gold then , if remember, before the war until the 14th year. war, the french, about russia signed a contract with the french, being, they were then in such a very good relationship, for the construction of two universal landing ships, of the mistral type, and these are such huge vessels that could seriously change the situation, but after the 14th year the french said that they are sorry, the russians will not get such ships, it seems to me that this is one of the most effective sanctions. which was carried out by the world community, after the occupation of our crimea, thank you to the french, but in moscow they said, i don't know who is there putin was tipped off by rogozin or something, because they said, yes, we

will build two mistrals in kirchyna on the bay, and maybe four, of course they didn't build anything there, it was left with these words, the people of kirchyna already understand that this is a hoax. in fact, not workplaces, well, in order to at least depict the work of the factory, they invented such a thing in zelenodolsk, after the initial stage of building ships, when they were practically, in fact ready, they were launched, those , who were going to the black sea fleet, they were lowered, in wet weather through azov to kerch, and they put a superstructure in the bay, that is, we paint some white there ... mr. captain of the first rank reserve, you tell me in simple language, well, like a karakur, is this something so serious, or is it such a plus-minus medium maneuverable missile a boat, or is it some kind of more powerful structure on the water? eh, this is a ship of the type of those small missile boats

of the bujan m, which have eight caliber launchers, that's what they fired at. eight calibers, and, well, it's different, this project is different, that it's designed for very, well, it is shallow water, not a river, in fact, plus the fact that the ship did not pass, not even any tests were destroyed, so the black sea fleet will not be replenished with another carrier of calibers, which is extremely pleasing to us, on the one hand it would be... the enemy has one rocket frame, and on the other hand, what is the carrier of eight calibers, this is also quite serious, and the third point, perhaps even more important - kerch, that is, kerch - is not only a repair and maintenance plant. kerch is also about the so-called russian occupation

illegal crimean bridge, and here the arrival of kirchi, this is a story that can no longer be silenced. you can talk about the fact that they had training there and they started some smoke, and this is the story that will definitely get on putin's desk, that is , it will no longer be possible to wrap it up, so to speak , in how they are in the pubs there, of course but they win at sea and everything is with them from pppo, okay, no, this is already an accurate story, i think that there was also such a moral and psychological moment, yes, that is, that... putin’s generals will not be able to tell their criminal mastermind about how they are everything is fine, if they hit the kerch, it means that the crimean bridge is in question, so to speak , they marked a really important target. i think it is even more necessary to say here that every

arrival in that area is a stop of the kerch bridge, they were impressed by it, it was not impressed, the air is on alarms, the bridge stops. and it stopped so often that the russians decided to build under, under artillery fire, under rocket fire, from tagan-roga, through mariupol and berdyansk , some kind of railway to bypass this section, which is not working, this is such a sign , another sign, i can say, if you look at the traffic of the sea ports, half a day. russia, where they included our crimean ports, it has increased significantly in recent months, and it has increased significantly not due to the export of stolen grain, but due to... other cargoes, what other cargoes are, you can guess, well, look, sir pavle, well, what is

the crimean bridge in that regard? yes, we understand that the goal is difficult, in principle this goal is covered up, but i do not think that the crimean bridge is covered in any fundamentally different way than the kerch bridge ship repair, well, and accordingly, how many, for example, would be necessary for certain attacks or shadow storms. in order for the crimean bridge to finally say goodbye to its capacity, for six months, for a year, like that, well, to be honest, i don’t know, it’s possible , actually, well, look, the antoniv bridge, as an example, uh, we shot at it it took a lot of hymars, ordinary ones, but in the end it collapsed . i don't know how many rockets are needed to collapse the kerch bridge, but here we must add to the fact that

the antoniv bridge was built in soviet times with a serious margin of strength, in anticipation of the war itself, which was during the cold war, the kerch bridge was being built, haphazardly, despite the fact that geophysicists said that the soil here is difficult, here... you can't build it is possible, it was built anyway, so its reliability, well, raises serious questions. i repeat, regardless of whether this uh, piece of uh concrete is standing over the kerch strait or not, uh, its capacity is seriously limited, even by the very facts of strikes, various strikes, sea, air drones, missiles

in the area... of the kerch air defense unit, it just stops, you can't move on it, and every hour of this downtime, every day of this downtime, this is a loss for the russian military, certain types do not reach them there supplies, and this is an opportunity for our soldiers, such a ... tracked assistance to our soldiers right on the battlefield. mr. pavle, i think that you read the article by headmaster zaluzhnyi, and i have a suspicion that more than once, the first time you read it, familiarized yourself with it, and then already trained, so to speak say, with a salted professional eye. so, how do you assess that article, in general, do you think our allies will hear, well, because the headline there is not about some, you know, lyrics, there are extremely specific things that are very well understood, for example, in the

same pentagon or there, i don’t know, in the french ministry of defense or the ministry of defense of great britain, in particular, it is said that in order to swing the situation, so to speak , additional resources are specifically needed, so we understand that i don’t know, the abramts battalion is very good, but we understand that it has no strategic importance on, on the battlefield, i say, i will repeat about the strategic importance, so your reflections on the article of the industrious zzeeconomist, a good article, not fun, but very necessary, i will remind you, last year in september, the article came out zaluzhnyi and for brodsky, ugh, which became a kind of signpost, in which they made an assessment of the situation and worked out proposals, recommendations. for the next year of hostilities, it became a signpost for our armed forces, and

in general for our state, for the system defense of our state, for a whole year, the situation changed, at the end of the 23rd year, and in november , zaluzhnyi's article came out again, by the way, the version of the translation of the article is submitted by our ministry of defense, and the general staff of this article is called, i win in a positional war, i.e., the article is an idea, well, the article of the commander-in-chief, it is an analysis of the situation, an assessment of the situation, the conclusions of the commander and recommendations and plans that need to be done next year in order to achieve success, so no one is different from the tasks set before the armed forces not refuses the tasks are set, they will be

achieved, and ways are being worked out for this. so, the article is primarily addressed to a large extent, it is addressed to our military, it is addressed to our politicians, our military-industrial complex, if there is something there, our political leadership does not like this article very much, then i think it is due, no, to its content , and the fact that they have a slightly different vision of not the course of hostilities, but the political situation in the state, they have already won and they don't want to strain like that difficult on the other hand, the second addressee, the economist is not for nothing, the article came out, this, this is the publication that is read by the elites of our allies, obviously the political elites, well, it came out very timely, i think that it was not

adapted to the events that are happening now in the congress, but it just hit the fact that in the congress now , the republicans and the democrats are discussing not just aid to ukraine, but they are discussing very serious issues, strategic issues that the biden administration has, the purpose of helping ukraine, what, what purpose do they see in the war , which its results, what is meant by victory, what stages must be passed for this, what military assistance was provided. and whether it corresponds to these declared goals and stages, and if not, and in a different way, then why did not provide the help that was needed, why did the sanctions not work and why were not the draconian sanctions introduced against the russian federation, just in its main industries , strictly speaking, this is

the strategy of the ukrainian war. now i am defining about articulating, yes, and, zaluzhny articulated his part of goals, tasks and plans, his military part, he voiced, in principle, the americans can take advantage, i think it is important not only for the americans, but also for our european partners, who, unlike the americans, did not voice their questions, but i think they have roughly similar questions. mr. captain of the first rank of the reserve, we still have about a minute left, i wanted to ask you about the strange and mysterious resignation of the commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine in 22-23, we will not reveal any secrets, but what do you say about this, well what surprised me the most was that the commander of the special operations forces of the armed forces of ukraine was surprised until recently.

major general khorenko. well, to be honest, from a military point of view, i will say that this is the competence of the minister of defense, and accordingly the president, the minister of defense submitted a submission, the president signed it, it is quite difficult for me to assess their motives, so, well, i will say that it is media, and what about this resignation is happening in information... i really don't like the space, it demoralizes the military and it's not a very good example of communication, higher state and military-political leadership, with society and with the army. thank you, mr. pavle, an extremely interesting and necessary conversation. pavlo lakeychuk, head

of security programs at the center for global studies strategy 21. captain. the rank of reserve, well, now my colleague, iryna koval, is entering the battle, in the information field, of course , as i understand it, anna eva melnyk, yes, well, accordingly, the news editorial team is now taking over the baton, annoyeva, congratulations, irynal will be a little later for a few days, now i will tell our viewers about the most important thing, wait. greetings to all viewers of espresso and i will start this news release with a 17-year-old driver hit two children in cherkasy region, a nine-year-old boy was killed in an accident in the city of
