of its existence, the logo of the tv channel changed several times, or rather, it changed four times. the current logo, the fifth one. my greetings, this is svoboda live, my name is daria kudimova, and more about everything important, as of the evening of tuesday, november 14. good luck of the russian army near avdiyivka and the ukrainian military, who were entrenched on the left bank of the dnieper. about the latest events at the front and forecasts for the coming days, today in svoboda life, as well as why the west talked about the russian-ukrainian tension. war for

at least five years, and how do they react to such statements in kyiv? the ukrainian delegation in the usa and the statements of the white house about the lack of funding for ukraine. how it affects the front and whose solution, as well as what to do with the lack of shells that will not have time to reach ukraine as part of the announced eu aid? hundreds of rescued ukrainian soldiers and a personal war since 2014. once a family doctor, and now a call-sign medic, yoda passed through the hot spots of the front, including bakhmut and kherson. what is the most terrible thing on the battlefield and how many fighters ukraine is losing in this war, the personal history of the military from the correspondents of radio liberty. army, we will now start with the situation in the kherson region, because today they announced that they captured a bridgehead there...

on the left bank of the dnieper, this was actually stated by the head of the president's office, speaking in the hudson institute in washington, and in fact, earlier the institute for the study of war also wrote about the tension. the situation in krynok and the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine. we will talk in more detail about the situation in the kherson region within a few minutes, we expect the involvement of the kherson regional military civil administration from minute to minute, but until the events in other areas of the front, namely near avdiivka, there the russian army continued offensive operations and achieved confirmed successes this is written by the institute for the study of war based on open data analysis. analysts rely on the statements of russian so-called warlords and bloggers, who report that fighting continues near the avdiivka coke-chemical plant and a dump in the north of avdiivka. reports of the seizure of the avdiiv coke plant by russian forces are called false, because ukrainian forces control

at least half of the plant. at the same time, the review states that on november 13, ukrainian forces successfully counterattacked and advanced under avdiivka, in particular to the railway station near stepovoy, south of the city. i will add that according to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, the russian army does not stop trying to sharpen the avdiivka, and actively uses aviation. it is also trying to advance south of novokalynovy, avdiyivka, severny and east of pervomaiskyi in donetsk region. i will remind you that last month, british intelligence stated that russia suffered the highest losses in 2023 during the offensive on avdiivka, and the institute for the study of war wrote that the russian military in this direction... is preparing for another wave of infantry attacks on ukrainian positions. well , just now joins our broadcast oleksandr tolokonnikov, he is the head of the department of internal information policy of kherson region. mr. oleksandr, my greetings, good evening. good evening

what information can you share with us about what is happening on the occupied left bank of kherson oblast, because as far as it became clear today that they have been receiving a bridgehead there for several weeks, has this somehow affected... the situation, what is known, well, unfortunately , the right bank continue to shell the russians, today only we have six wounded, three of them in kherson itself, two from osokorivky, one of beresyslav, unfortunately, the shelling continues, after yesterday's massive shelling, 15 people were injured, only in the hryrson community, so this gives 620 shells that the russians fired yesterday in the real kherson region, so we understand, while

that it is too early to say that this could reduce the number of shellings, because in order for them to decrease, it is necessary to push the russians back at least 30 km from the bank of the dnieper, on the left bank, so that they do not reach theirs along the bank, huh, and what known now i.e., as far as i understand, it is still too early to say that this has any effect on the shelling of kherson, and is it possible to say at all that the intensity of shelling has recently increased or decreased, and with what do you think it can be connected, well, look , but the day before, well, yesterday there was a heavy shelling, two days before that it was more or less, and we connect this primarily because the weather was on our side...' there were rains on the sides, and when it rains and it's cloudy, the air reconnaissance of the occupiers cannot adjust the fire and they themselves do not, i think, do not really want to engage in this and therefore the number of shelling decreases, that is, there were 350, 320 shells,

again, as soon as the day is clear, we immediately have 600, 650 shells, ugh. and do you have information about what is happening in the occupied, occupied part of the kherson region, what methods the russian occupiers resort to, given that the front line is now actively developing in the kherson region? yes, well, there they are, they are very nervous, well, they resort to various methods to intimidate people and even kill each other, recently, i have not yet told about this an event on the left bank in one of the populated areas of ee one of the russian occupiers killed three of his ee with whom he served and they were

so massive that there was a plan to intercept him , they searched all the houses, it is not known whether they found them or not, but it is probably the that the occupiers are very... now nervous and this is not the first month, people notice, they want to go out, they want to ask, they talk to each other about it, people hear, well, they hear, when they are nearby, they are there, they just don't understand , why are they here, and, i think, a lot factors, in addition to this, shows that they are planning to flee very soon, first of all , the material component, the material side of this is that they continue to delay social benefits, payments to refugees, payments to teachers, wages, salaries, teachers, doctors, they have not received it for two months, i think that they have not received it, because

most likely, they decided that if this money was allocated, then they decided to use this money to go for a walk somewhere in the crimea, in principle, and such , such moments, probably indirect there are a lot of points that indicate this, including the mining of critical infrastructure, this also confirms this possible waste. approach and escape to safer areas. heard, oleksandr, thank you very much for joining the broadcast. oleksandr tolokonnikov, head of the internal information policy department of the kherson regional military civil administration, was in direct contact with us. thank you. well , russia's attacks on marienko, in donetsk region, do not stop, rfe/rl correspondents spent a day at the positions of soldiers of the 79th separate amphibious assault brigade. how the ukrainian military manages to restrain the russian. as well as under mar'enka, later in the report of evgenia kitaeva and hanna kudryavtseva. we are going to

the suburbs of donetsk, we will show you the beauties. how is the situation there now? almost every week there is an assault, the equipment is moving, drones are flying, now there are a lot of them, also in the middle of the year, a lot appeared, they are not far behind in this. we have an assault every week, or even two, or even one. three, but the technicians got stuck in them, i don't know, they get it it's constantly, but there are enough people, they go with these zaks, well, they let them in like meat , you go there and that's it, they give them four shops, six shops for an assault, well, there's a one-off like that, and not everyone takes it , because again, in 1963, one grandfather came to storm me, well, i'm begging you, they themselves understand that it won't work, even if it's a joke. it seems that the russians are coming, the last two who were taking them came to the assault, dismounted,

half of them immediately ran in the other direction, and these two lay down in the harrow, their boys started ours pressed normally with small arms, the artillery worked, and they raised their arms, dropped their armor and moved forward, forward it seems, two convicts, one and the other, they simply dragged the one out of prison to the front, mobilized, yes no. they had the task of storming the ridge, there were four bekhs , each six people, their bekha was blown up either by a mine or an approach, they had a command to land, all the other three bekhas back there to their base there, the deployment or somewhere, for them capture of maryanka is a systematic her destruction, well, we retreated in the city in the very center only because there was nowhere to entrench, every day just systematically, square by square, their artillery simply destroyed the city, obliterated the precipice, and they dig under the concrete and under

the roads, they dig there, if they don’t dig, then they are shot as they go, everything is very tough, they have much more human resources, and because of that , for example, one group can cover just as well, another group comes and digs, unfortunately, we do not have such a luxury, we work to exhaustion, yes at most, they have it there are no problems. they drove scot away, but they are playing for themselves, at first everything was scary, but then i learned to listen, because somewhere the shooting starts, you think, that’s it, it’s already somewhere near you, they’re coming right now, they’re going to kill you, and you’re here, my god, it’s scary, you’re starting to storm , you start working, the guys are also with you, you fight back, if you are successful, then in general even more and more and more confidence, well, you always have to keep a cool head, fools. about the situation at the front, forecasts of the end of

the russian-ukrainian war and the risks of reducing military aid from partners, not only will we continue to talk about this with the people's deputy from the voice faction, a member of the committee on national defense , intelligence and security, serhiy rakhmanin, who is a guest of our studio today, mr. serhiy, good evening, my greetings, good evening, let's talk about avdiivka first , what was announced on the air that a part of koksihim is already allegedly controlled by russian forces, and actually the fact that the capture... of avdiyivka turning remains the number one goal for the russian federation, there is a lot of talk about this in the general staff. why yes, why is avdiivka needed at any price, and when it becomes clear what about the military. from the point of view of the expediency of holding the city, it is no longer there, well, let's start from the end, the expediency of holding or not holding is decided by the military leadership, which has a complete picture , which you and i do not have, but bakhmut was occupied a long time ago, and disputes are still ongoing, it is appropriate was it inappropriate to receive it for so long, and still each of

the parties presents its arguments, each has its own right, regarding avdiivka, why...' avdiivka now, why is it so important for russians? well, from an operational and tactical point of view, avdiyivka is attractive enough for the russians from several points of view. well, first of all, it is such a wedge, it is such a protrusion, it is actually a suburb of donetsk. ugh. and if we proceed from the fact that sooner or later we will liberate donets, then the presence of such a bridgehead, such a projection, it is quite expedient from a military point of view . to level what the front line is leveling for is to get as little as possible forces to maintain such a ledge, the longer the ledge, the more you need to lead in order to receive from different flanks. ugh, the third point is the presence of the military, the ukrainian military defense forces, in the avda people, it allows shelling, to continue under fire control, a whole series of positions,

near donetsk, in donnets itself, as you know, there are both military management bodies and warehouses. passes, logistical routes pass there, that is , it is very convenient to have at a short distance, and goals, because even not long-range artillery, ordinary artillery there, soviet-style, not to mention the long-range western. the next point is that there , well, it is not important, but it is also important, vdiivka is a certain transport hub, not as important as some others, well, the moment is also important for them, avdiivka is one of the most fortified places in the defense of ukraine, and if the enemy manages to overcome the positions of ukrainian military personnel, they enter a certain operational space, well, for example, conditionally speaking, they can develop their direction

further to pokrovsk, but the main goal, the main goal is that the russians really need victories, on the one hand, and on the other hand... it is necessary to divert ukrainian reserves, ukrainian resources from other directions, what is actually happening, that is, some some part, units, some part of the force of means, the ukrainian military leadership had to transfer to this direction, in order to restrain the offensive, because the numerical advantage of the russians, well , was at least three times, i think, in fact, much more, that is if we we are talking about forces, if we talk about means, that is, means of destruction, that is, artillery, defense equipment, i think that there the number is even greater, so for them from the point of view of both military and also political, it is quite a tidbit and they are in in principle, they are ready to sacrifice a huge number of people, they have mobilization resources, human resources are large enough, the fears that someone had about the fact that russians have a huge number of homes, a huge number of funerals that come to russian homes, that

it will stop someone, it will not stop anyone does not stop therefore, in principle, they can afford the luxury of throwing a huge number of people into the so-called local assaults, but here we must give credit to the occupiers, they prepared well enough for these operations, well, for those who forgot or do not know, and it did not involve so much frontal assaults on avdiivka, they tried to cover avdiivka from two sides , from the north and from the south, and they succeeded, at the cost of huge sacrifices, both in human resources and in equipment, but they advanced in depth both in the north and in the south. well, at least 10 km, and therefore in principle they got a certain advantage, especially after they managed to capture the terekon, what is the defense of avdiyivka, in the north there is a two-hot-meter terekon, and the war changes, but in fact a lot of things remain

the same, sorry, since the first world war, if you control the commanding heights, you control the battlefield. the two-meter terekon allows you to control both from the point of view of making a fire impression and from the point of view of reconnaissance and from the point of view of adjusting fire and from the point of view it allows uninterrupted communication, it gives certain advantages, well, for example, there is a certain inhibition on our troops in the zaporizhzhia direction , here it is in this triangle of death of work for a long time. our troops, and if you control terekon, you can control, with fire, coke oven, coke oven - this is a huge industrial... zone that is easy to defend, if you control coke oven, it makes it much easier for you to capture the whole city, so

that street battles are a complex story, and koksokhim is a huge industrial zone , well, there is an example of other battles, the most famous one there is azovstal, or there is azmol in bakhmut, the industrial zone is very convenient for defense, but the losses of terekon, we are in principles gave the enemy a certain advantage, for a certain time. it was in the gray zone, now they control it, it allows fire to control the koksohen, it means that the risk, let's say, of the russians advancing towards uksakhim is quite significant, let's call a spade a spade, and with the possible fall of coxsohim, i'm just running ahead now, it doesn't mean that it will happen, but it's possible, well, in the perspective of keeping audios, it's not just ghostly, but quite difficult, and the potential capture of audios. will it in any way affect the events in other directions of the front, because you said what a role, you mentioned, what an important role was the defense of avdiyivka in order to pull the russian reserves to that

direction, conditionally, if the russian army is now capturing the city, does that mean , that they will be able to release certain reserves and redeploy them to other directions and where exactly, what will be a priority for them next , well, when you achieve the goal, you free up certain operational reserves, which you can transfer to where, well, it is decided by the general staff, respectively. for the plans that exist, but here is the question of where they will transfer, well, first of all, it is not yet known how long the battles for avdiivka will last, it is not known what losses they will suffer, they already have huge losses, and it is not known whether there won't be a certain operative pause after that, when , let's say, if we fantasize, we run in advance, yes, that, for example, we will not be able to hold avdiivka, although i sincerely hope that the ukrainian defense forces in...' avdiivka, although the situation is quite difficult. even if avdiyivka is occupied, after some time there after two long battles, it is not a fact that

the russians will develop this offensive if there are serious losses, plus bad weather, which affects, well, first of all, the capabilities of the equipment, its advancement , and on the possibility of reconnaissance, because aerial reconnaissance in bad weather does not work well, and in principles, rain, mud, washed-out roads, all this is always a very difficult story for offensive actions. therefore, it is quite possible that for a certain time this will be the last, or as they say military, extreme offensive operation of the russians, after which there will be a certain operational pause, that is , there will be some local battles, battles of local significance, some tactical movements, positions may change hands hand in hand, but some such large-scale offensives, hand in hand, but some such large-scale offensives are quite possible, which will not happen, huh. if to move to the left bank of the kherson region and remember yermak's statement, which he made in the united states, that the ukrainian military occupied a bridgehead on the left bank of the dnieper.

how important is this promotion, what opportunities does it open up for the ukrainian army? well, the bridgeheads were occupied long enough ago, well, actually, now it's about fully establishing a foothold on this bridgehead , expanding it and advancing further. what it 's really about is more than just a full report. kherson region, it is clear that it is on the agenda, but here it is other goals, i would stop at them, well, first of all, advancement, in the kherson region, it allows to either knock out or drive out the russian troops from oleshki, why is this important, because oleshki is a sufficiently large district center from which the constant shelling of kherson, in order to make kherson safer, we need them. the enemy at a greater distance, and for this you need those distances , but it is still a long road, very difficult, everything is happening quite complicated, and the second reason is very important, the fact is that

logistics chains, and supply chains, what is called ground communications, and they go mainly from crimea, there are others, it is not only about the grouping of russian troops in the kherson region. and in zaporizhia, in particular, there is another road, another road that passes through mariupol and volnovakha, but it is used much less by the russians, because it is partially under the fire control of the ukrainian armed forces, that is, relatively speaking, the ukrainian military can finish, and with the fire of their guns, their systems of volley fire along this road, therefore, the russians do not risk using this way very actively, and the vast majority of weapons, armaments, and ammunition. rotation of personnel, fuel and bridging materials, food, that is, everything that is needed for war, it goes from the crimea, through the kherson region, if

the advance of the ukrainian armed forces is intensive, we will be able to cut this path, and this will fundamentally complicate and supplies, ensuring the grouping of russian forces in the zaporizhia region and will make life difficult for the occupiers of the kherson region, i will remind you that actually their retreat from kherson was connected with the fact that these lines of communication, these chains, were broken, but if they succeed in another way now, they will repeat this one by other means. wait a minute, it will be much more difficult for them to achieve this goal, well, actually what they are doing near avdiivka, in addition to everything else, besides the fact that they cover avdiivka from the flanks, their tactical goal is to take control physical, or at least fire, this is when you do not enter the village, but control it with artillery fire, and semenivka, berdichi, orlovka, that is, those settlements through which

supplies of the ukrainian armed forces pass. if they take control, then the supply of the group to avdiivsk will be significantly reduced, and then, well, i'm not saying that there will be no other option, but then the question of withdrawing our forces may arise, because sooner or later they will feel the lack of ammunition, arming personnel, i.e. the war is primarily the cutting of the supply line, apart from everything else, such as the offensive in the kherson region, this is the action on the eastern bank of the dnieper, they are connected on the one hand with the pushing back of the zelezhki enemy, in order to make kherson more, let's say, safer, well, of course, to cut off these supplies, because if the road from crimea is cut, then the supplies to the occupiers in zaporizhia and kherson regions will be significantly impaired. mr. serhiy, in my conversation with you, i can't help but mention the article, a recent article by konmist, where they quote western

politicians, or rather they remind us that western politicians increasingly agree that the russian-ukrainian war will last at least five years ten years, and they say none of the parties can make compromises and cannot find a way out of the stalemate that has developed. where do you think such forecasts for up to five years came from and how likely are they? well, let's face it, not a single person in the world, i emphasize, not a single one, even knows approximately how long this war will last. it can last a year, it can last two, it can last five, it can last. more, it depends on a huge number of circumstances and factors, and some are even impossible to calculate, so how justified this point of view is, it is difficult for me to judge, anyone who names a specific term, a specific date, i always have a certain doubt, it is a little, you know, bordering on cunning, i will remind you that if you look at the forecasts, scenarios, forecasts, western experts, in february march

on the 22nd, then... and if we compare it with the present , we will be very surprised, so i would not talk about specific dates, about years, months, it is very difficult, i say again, it depends on a huge number of circumstances, and also once i say, some of them are unknown to anyone, it is even very difficult to predict them, which is clear for sure, the fact that the war has become positional, and the fact that the war has acquired all the signs of a war of attrition, this means a war of resources, a war of... economies, and here we have to hope for the support of our partners, but unfortunately it is not increasing, but little and due to subjective, due to objective circumstances, and this further complicates any predictions about the duration of this war, well, in fact, this article also expresses the fear that the united states will not be able to arm itself at the same time , and all his allies, that is in fact, what - what to expect... from such statements, and

are such fears justified? well, it is an absolutely objective fact that the aid of our western partners has significantly decreased, this is one, two, first of all , the most difficult and most unpleasant for us is the reduction of this aid to the united states, because with all due respect to our european partners, they are not in able to supply us with much of what we need. that is, to replace, to replace the united states, in this aid, we objectively have no one and no one what, let's call things their own, they are looking for other options, this is also about strengthening their own defense-industrial complex, although there are also problems here, they are looking for exits to other countries, to other logistical chains, but it is clear that the key is the help of the united states, or they are able to pull simultaneously, conditionally speaking aid to ukraine.
