[000:00:00;00] to zero this entire army in order for it to ensure tactical success, on its back and our defenses were broken through by two more armies that are holding on to the approach, that is, more precisely, one has already actually joined the two armies that are conducting combat operations on the enemy's avdiivsky salient, and the amount of equipment or the number of people who are ready to lose the enemy, it is determined precisely by the amount of equipment that he has available, or people that he has? pavel, in your opinion, can we say that the russians have started their offensive, roughly speaking, winter hunting campaign, as we seen last year, and how long do you think it might last if it has actually

started. well, really, somewhere from the beginning of autumn, i would call it events like a battle for the initiative, the russians are trying to seize the initiative, move the center of gravity of hostilities from the south, which is the most inconvenient direction, from the point of view of logistics, again , the provision of their forces to the east, and therefore it is burning all over the eastern direction, where they expect, after all, to force us to impose their, their character of conduct

actions, to make the ukrainians dance to their tune, as the russians say, an additional factor is that soon there should be... the nomination of the so-called president, this did not happen, obviously, because from a military point of view there was nothing to present, but something loud, loud was needed. and we took avdiivka, we took kupyansk, we didn't take anything, so, before putin's spring elections, the russians will press, obviously, that is, on kupyansk direction, most likely we can also expect an offensive like the one near avdiivka, well , because the head of the kharkiv regional administration, oleg synygubov, is talking about the rotation and about the new additional ammunition that

the russians brought. unfortunately, yes, in the kupyansk direction, well, to say that there was a temporary ceasefire, a lull, is not quite right, or rather completely wrong, the enemy was constantly trying to advance, if not on the entire front, then in separate areas, no less effort, he does not stop in his offensive efforts and what's more, i don't see any prospects of stopping it. pavel, how do you look at the events on the left bank of the kherson region, which are still shrouded in such a fog of war, we do not know for sure what is happening there, but too many data already indicate that the armed forces of ukraine, i will say this, on the left bank of the kherson regions are present, how do you assess the prospects of the offensive on that part

of the front? our special forces, our marines, just good guys, the situation there is very difficult, because we have to act, without the support of heavy equipment, and the enemy has recovered and is trying to pull up reserves in order to restore lost positions , well, the course of events will largely depend on whether our military will be able to establish some more or less stationary crossings across the dnieper, so that the troops, on the left the shores were supported by heavy equipment, this is a very difficult task, and it will determine whether it will end as such, reconnaissance actions, reconnaissance by combat, with

the destruction of the enemy by the artist, a little, as they say, to riot in the enemy's rear, eh, or it will spill over, from the tactical to... the operational level, because this, the closest direction to the crimean isthmus, the enemy defense is not as powerful there, in terms of engineering, as, for example, in the zaporizhzhya direction, so the direction is promising, but, but difficult, precisely because for the necessity of forcing the river, not only by infantry, but also by equipment. which should support it and ensure the offensive. thank you for all the time, for joining our broadcast. pavlo lekichuk, head of security programs at the strategy 201 center for global studies, was with us live

video link, heard his assessment of the situation at the front, and according to mr. lekiychuk, there are reasons to expect that the russians can more actively engage in offensives, and not only in other areas of the front. near avdiyivka, it's been a year since kherson was liberated, how ukrainians fought against the occupier, protected, treated, rescued, the president recalled in his address. in addition, volodymyr zelenskyy spoke about the evacuation of ukrainian citizens from the gas sector, we will hear more. dear ukrainians, at the end of this day, it is worth saying a few important things. first, about our kherson. today is the anniversary. liberation of the city, i am grateful to everyone who remembered how the people of kherson resisted the occupier, how they waited for the return of the ukrainian flag, how they met our soldiers. i thank everyone who today honored the memory of those who gave

win... winter together, sticks in the wheels on the european integration path of hungary cont. ukraine, or rather, sorry, continues to insert hungary. budapest sharply criticized the recommendation of the european commission to start negotiations with kyiv on joining the eu and is already preparing to veto the prospect of ukraine's accession at the december summit, some hungarian politicians say. about the reaction of the world to the decision of the european commission, he will tell later. ukraine is rapidly moving towards the eu, the european media noticed. most of the respectable publications, both local and overseas, devoted the first columns to the topic of the unprecedented rapid progress of our country, on the way to joining the european union the british bbc, american politicians, the french france-24, the newspapers lomont and losuag, all began to discuss the european future of ukraine. following the statements of journalists, it rained. and from european politicians. the head of the german ministry of foreign affairs on twitter supported

the positive recommendations of brussels. like stronger and growing. the european union should be moscow's answer to the aggressive war against ukraine. the people of ukraine belong to the european family. the start of negotiations on accession to the eu is the next step that we must take together. anna lena burbok, minister of foreign affairs of germany. they congratulated ukraine on its way to european integration in poland. andrzej duda said that he will promote eu expansion, in particular, he has been rooting for our country as part of the european union for a long time, supported the decision of the european commission to start accession negotiations with member countries, and in washington , the us state department called this step key for the entire transatlantic community. we consider it necessary to support our partners in ukraine who are defending their country and its territorial integrity. we welcome the statement of the european commission regarding eu enlargement. but there were also those who added a spoonful

of spirit to a barrel of honey. traditionally, hungary, the minister of foreign affairs there, peter szijjarto, believes that accepting ukraine into the european union before the end of hostilities is not in time, because the war will come to the eu in this way, although, as the hungarian online publication portfolio writes, everyone understands that the ukrainian military protects not only the independence of ukraine and the entire european union from russian encroachments. budapest also disagrees with kyiv. in educational and language issues of national minorities. we do not believe that any further progress in the matter of accession negotiations for ukraine are timely. at the same time, it was recognized in brussels that ukraine coped with the 90 recommendations provided by the eu for accession. kyiv has already handed over a road map to budapest for the resolution of differences in the issues of national minorities, the government reported. today, there are more than 100 hungarian schools in ukraine, and not a single ukrainian one in hungary. there are also claims in poland regarding the exhumation of the remains of the victims of the volyn

tragedy, said deputy polish minister of foreign affairs pawel jablonski. however, warsaw does not specify whether it can happen an obstacle for ukraine on the way to european integration. the german deutsche welle notes that if there are no surprises during the december summit, the negotiation process regarding eu enlargement and ukraine's accession will begin. then long working negotiations are ahead, where all controversial issues will be discussed, their result should be a draft accession agreement. it must be approved by the european parliament, ratified by the council of the eu in ukraine and in all member states. belgium has already promised kyiv strong support during its presidency of the council of the eu next year - said the local minister of foreign affairs andrzej labib. polish president duda followed. in a year , warsaw will take over the leadership baton in belgium. so supporters of ukraine as part of the eu,

who want to see ukrainians in a big european family. it seems to be enough. from brussels, anna grishina, we are ukraine. only news marathon. during the year of its existence, the ukrainian fleet of naval drones attacked eight russian ships. this was announced by the minister of digital transformation mykhailo fedorov. according to him, thanks to drones, part of the navy of the russian federation went to the bottom, and the whole world is fascinated by these attacks. federov added that ukraine continues to develop and improve technology, so that there will be even more news about the destruction of ukrainian ships. dmytro plytenchuk, captain of the third rank, spokesman of the naval forces of the armed forces of ukraine, is in touch with us. dmitry, we congratulate you. good morning. good morning studio, greetings to the audience. who does not sleep on sunday, this is the time. ah, i hope he's awake because he's already awake, and not because he can't sleep and is watching our broadcast, but in

any case, i think it's either way it is important to listen to our conversation with you. i want to ask you about your assessment of ukraine and russia at sea today, and as for this one, what changes in this balance are brought about by the development of surface systems, which, as we see, fundamentally affect this ratio, well, taking into account another loss from of the russian fleet two more amphibious ships, even if they are not so big, but they are not small enough, and considering where they were, of course, the loss is quite significant for the russians and one of the results of these attacks, it another transfer of ships, now they have already reached tupse and periodically relocate ships there as well, in order to change

the place of parking, that is, they have not yet solved some problems with logistics, and at the same time they are forced to move anyway, i think so. that at such rates they will soon move little by little to the shores of georgia. this is the situation. that is, we see that the russians are forced to respond to the dangers created by us in the black sea. mr. dmitry, ah, ships admiral makarov, ivan golubets, ivan khurs, serhii kotov, oil lighthouse, akula and serana. and how many more are interesting for the armed forces of ukraine. enemy targets are located in the waters of the black sea? for us, all targets are interesting, of course, first of all, these are our cruise missiles, because they train the most, and the russians understand this perfectly, they were the first to transfer them, ee to the new russian, 10 units, because in fact

only they are participating in hostilities now , so they have it there now, for example, near sevastopol, this infamous cycle, which could not launch a single missile, is in the qualities of a ship for cover from air attacks, well, it actually looks funny , nevertheless, they are forced to use it anyway, so in principle, as you can see, there are no, there are no small goals, but there are main, of course, priority ones. dmitry, how about the redeployment of russian warships from... crimea that you mentioned, in addition to threatening ukraine from the black sea and the capabilities of their black sea fleet in general. if we are talking about the use of cruise missiles, for example, in principle. it is impossible to say that it has a rather significant effect, the response time increases

us, their reaction time increases accordingly, because there is an opportunity to see the objects that can attack them a little earlier, which is directly related to the other side, because, let me remind you, their logistics are built in such a way that actually servicing those platforms, which are carriers , is happening only... in sevastopol, well , at least for now, mr. dmitry, and what about submarines, have they been moved? just like the rest of the carriers, cruise missiles, they are moved, because in principle, you cannot, this submarine is constantly only in the underwater port itself, that is, in fact , only patrol ships were left in the waters of the black sea near crimea. you can say that in the water area.

patrols, by the way, now there are only two units, one of them a patrol ship, one an anti-submarine ship, are on the guard and defense of the so-called crimean bridge, but they go out in the water area more often, of course, on patrol ships, because in principle, it makes no sense to go out on those the carriers themselves are far from there, of course they can perform various functions, they can also perform patrolling, but an example of one of these of ships near sevastopol, pavel derzhavin , you may remember this one, shows that it is so dangerous to patrol, so, of course, they keep away those units that they have the most combat-capable carriers. dmitry, how compared to the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the principles of defense of the crimean bridge, which is used by the russians today, have changed, how are they strengthening the protection of this object. it is impossible to say that it has somehow fundamentally changed, i can say that they take

the maximum number of those security measures, they constantly block it in case of something, i.e. they take into account their sad experience with regard to damage to this and that annex, any other threat from the air, any, is immediately blocked, smoked, well, that is , they protect it as much as possible, and to be honest, it suffers quite a lot in this sense, but that nevertheless, logistically, it remains one of the main elements, to ensure, like the grouping in the south, unfortunately, although there is actually also a, land, a corresponding corridor, nevertheless, the bridge plays a rather significant role, because the railway, she still, a lot on herself the load takes, and what exactly... are the loads transported by rail through the crimean bridge of military purpose? without going into detail , it can be said that practically all that is needed,

because the railway has always been the main logistical tool of the soviet-russian-imperial army, is traditional. dmitry, i wanted to ask you about yours, there are, obviously, i assume, some installations that generate a large amount of smoke, and this happens during russian attacks on ukraine, the territory of... the crimean peninsula, military facilities on territory of the crimean peninsula with missile weapons, what is the meaning of this smoke and how do you assess its effectiveness for the defense of the bridge, well, it is not even smoke, it is an aerosol , it is such a mixture, this aerosol is generated by special cars, such large loads of chemical troops, the russian federation, this function, the car leaves, this smoke generator or aerosol is turned on. field and throws it into the air in large quantities , first of all, of course, this is done in order to

theoretically knock down the rangefinders of lasers, warheads, missiles, well, that is, this is one of the versions of the main ones that have a similar system, smoke, it works a little differently, nevertheless the meaning is the same, mr. dmytro, more and more often we hear from the armed forces of ukraine or read on social networks reports that the russians are dropping some explosives , mines in the waters of the black sea. in fact, how many such dangerous substances they drop, what exactly and how to deal with it, these are not substances, these are explosive devices, first of all, these are bottom mines, which are simply installed in this way from an airplane, remote mining. it is called, er, and, unfortunately, so far, we observe russian aircraft every day over the equator

of the black sea, despite the fact that we control the water area itself, that is. coastal missile artillery troops of the naval forces, nevertheless , russians can still be observed in the air, and primarily in our territorial areas. can we somehow counteract, clear mines, or do we do it? we are constantly working on this, first of all, of course, we need air supremacy, and in this sense , only the air force can save us, of course, the provision of new samples of weapons from our foreign partners about the f-16, of course, first of all. dmitry, thank you for joining our broadcast. dmytro plytenchuk, the captain of the third video link, in particular reported that as a result of another successful operation by the armed forces of ukraine, which resulted in two vessels that will definitely not be able to fulfill the tasks of the occupiers of the black sea in the near future. so this consequence is

the displacement even further of those ships that were based. near the black sea fleet, which the russians consider to be in the risk zone, towards russia to russian ports that as we were together with the single news marathon, bohdan and i say goodbye to you, we wish you a good morning and the rest of the day, and the single news marathon continues, our colleagues continue it, see you soon. chevrons approaching victory. russia continues
