hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district, kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we are telling the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. for the last 10 years espresso. recorded the most important moments for ukrainians: protests on the maidan, the beginning of the russian-ukrainian war, tomos and visa-free travel, changes in the corridors of power, a full-scale invasion, all 10 years espresso lived with you, all 10 years we were a source of information, a source with a ukrainian point of view , source, on which you are used to relying on, will continue to be so. espresso 10 years. thank you for watching.

119 shellings and firing 638 shells were carried out by the enemy in the past day in the kherson region, we will talk more about this with our next guest oleksandr voitko, a soldier of the 14th separate regiment of the bpk, and we are in touch: glory to ukraine, mr. oleksandr. good morning, i congratulate you with the hero slava. i hope the morning is good, because you have a lively voice. and we hope that this reflects the situation in yours, among your brothers, and in general in the south of the kherson region, is that so? lively, the situation is such that we manage to get a bridgehead on the left bank, the enemy cannot do anything with it for more than a month, so all the fighters of our armed forces working in this direction.

er, they are constantly in such activity, because it is necessary to repel daily attacks on the ground, they are repelled by our marines, other servicemen who crossed over to the left bank, and units of our regiment together with other operators, drones, together with our artillery, aviation, destroy manpower and equipment in yaka trying to attack this platarm. attack with what and in what way, how do they do it? artillery shelling by the russian occupiers continues every day, they use aviation, guided aerial bombs, and attack directly mainly with manpower, but also sometimes involve several units of equipment, they engage equipment, being careful

not to fall into the range of our artillery and our drones, and manpower, can you share information about what they are quality, yes, these are experienced, trained fighters, or are they newly mobilized, perhaps former prisoners? there are various units, here the enemy uses the 10th army special forces brigade, that is, they are specialists, they are trained units of the russian occupiers in assault operations, as well as various motorized rifle units, which have less professionalism, but still the enemy has drawn many reserves here, there are a lot of them , after the enemy fled from kherson last year under the pressure of our forces, russian propaganda claimed that ukrainian

the army will never land on the left bank, and this has already happened here, this bridgehead has been held for quite a long time, this is not the activity of sabotage and reconnaissance groups anymore, it is a bridgehead that is constantly held, the enemy cannot do anything with it, so it pulls up reserves and daily is attacking with the units he has here, the enemy has now collectively concentrated two or three brigades in this direction , is the number of personnel increasing, are they being kept stable plus or minus in the same number as in recent times, the number of personnel is increasing, the enemy is raising reserves, of course he suffers significant losses in these daily attacks , the soldiers of the russian army and their equipment are also being destroyed, so the enemy is constantly bringing new units here, and is trying to eliminate this bridgehead, because so far it is relatively not...

big, but here the enemy does not have such fortifications as in the zaporozhye direction or in the donetsk direction, so he feels danger, even from such a small bridgehead. and for their positions and for their logistics in this region, that is why he is constantly trying to bring new forces here, they declared that they would never land, never cross the dnipro, would not force the dnipro, the ukrainians, and did they have an effect on the russians, on the russian military, or did this effect of surprise, yes , when they thought that they would not succeed, here the bridgehead for a short time, in fact, expands, expands, expands. and there are already more and more fighters of the armed forces of ukraine? there was certainly a certain effect of surprise, because if they were fully prepared, then ours would be armed

the forces did not succeed in landing on the left bank, because it is a rather difficult operation, and the landing itself across the dnipro, and logistics, but our marines and other units that actually crossed over showed heroism, bravery, and now, even in extremely difficult conditions, they are holding this bridgehead on the ground on the left bank, we remember that the enemy replaced the commander of his troop group dnieper, as it is called in their name, after the landing of our forces on the left bank, so there was certainly a certain surprise for them, but please tell me the deterioration of the weather conditions, the cold, somehow, now affects your work, you have to change your plans a little, maybe adapt somehow, is everything going according to plan, and you predicted that you might have to work in the winter period exactly where you are now? i

would not tell the details, so as not to give the russian occupiers any additional information, in general, of course, they were preparing for the cold, for winter, for frost, this is already the second. winter from a large-scale invasion, which includes our armed forces, so everyone understood how it would be, what needed to be prepared, of course, the deterioration of weather conditions, it makes it difficult for everyone, and especially for our soldiers who are holding the bridgehead on the left bank there, but everyone in the armed forces is ready to destroy the russian occupiers and liberate our land in any conditions and how long it will be it is necessary for us to once go to the borders of 91 and drive this russian horde completely from our country, and the fact that you cut off the communication between the oleshkas and the krynks for them, how

does it now affect the actions of the enemy, or how much for them it’s preschool, it’s normal for them. because goods are transported on these roads to oleshki and other settlements that are still under russian occupation in this area, the fact that their logistics has become very complicated, because of our bridgehead, because fire control over these roads, due to the possibility of our raiding operations by our units located on the left bank, this causes significant problems for the russian occupiers, how to bring weapons, ammunition, food, water to their troops located in those settlements, this everything is now very complicated for the russian occupiers in that area. and how the local population reacts to the ukrainian military,

to the fact that there are more and more of you there, the local population always reacts very well to our military. because the ukrainians do not want to see russian occupiers on our land, so they react very well, well, there are few local residents left in that area, because very active hostilities are going on there, so there are literally units there, there is an opportunity to resettle them somewhere, because we understand that perhaps the hostilities there could be more active, or the people stubborn remain at home, those who remained under such active hostilities, they... stubbornly remain, well, unfortunately , it is very difficult for us to resettle, because the logistics takes place across the river of our units, which are on the left bank, so the vast majority of people are from there left, there are very active hostilities there, and those who stayed have already

stayed, do you see or observe any movements of the occupiers on the dnieper, a little further south, along the dnieper and north of that bridgehead. which was occupied by the ukrainian armed forces. the occupiers are also trying to use the dnieper, to sail on it in boats. it used to be more active, now it is a little less, to the displeasure of some in the mouth of the dnipro, hostilities are taking place with the russian occupiers, from time to time they try to land subversive and reconnaissance groups there, but if we take the general trend like this, then from time to time, landings of our forces on the left bank, the activity of the russian occupiers on the dnieper is decreasing a little .

them, what are their tasks there, what are their tasks on these islands, and if they move along the dnieper, then what, what is the goal? objective, to land sabotage and reconnaissance groups, occupy some islands to make it difficult for our armed forces to advance. but it was quite active back in the summer, and over time this activity of theirs is decreasing, because as i have already mentioned, they understand that they need to concentrate on preventing the expansion of our bridgehead on the left bank, and that is exactly what they are doing now involve their forces, and already less, are engaged in planting these sabotage and reconnaissance groups somewhere on the islands or in other parts. thank you, mr. oleksandr, for being with us, finding time, for all the service and work you do, oleksandr voydko,

continues there, the russians constantly. they also add such a psychological effect, talking about the fact that they are already advancing, that they are attacking more , that they have almost surrounded avdiivka, we understand that they have a little more than a month until the time that was set for them to complete certain tasks, in particular, to occupy avdiivka , we have fresh footage from the avdiyiv koksokhim and ask you to summarize. actually, what is the current state of avdiyivka, its surroundings , what is happening there, indeed, the avdiyiv direction remains one of the most tense, if we take into account the statements of our military leaders, then literally, yesterday we saw a message from oleksandr ternavskyi, who said that

the enemy had begun this long-awaited third wave of mechanized armored assaults on avdiivka. we, we know that the previous two waves with the use of armored vehicles were extremely critical for the enemy, in terms of significant losses, and now, during the third assault , tarnavskyi talks about what was destroyed, if i am not mistaken, there are 51 armored vehicles, including tanks, bmp , cars, 40 were damaged, somewhere around 700 enemies were destroyed, that is, that means that now the process of enemy attacks on avdiivka continues, even. after these losses, everything is even, let's say this way, the number of the enemy does not decrease, what we are talking about, from the point of view of the directions, it is true that the enemy is trying to advance in the direction of the steppe through the railway, but we saw a video of how the 47th mechanized brigade with the help of bmp destroys the enemy, who is moving towards the steppe, behind the railway

, the enemy moves a little to the north or to the side, ceramics, thus trying to expand the flank zone beyond the railway, but the most difficult section is now a dash from yesenuvata nearby, and there the enemy actually used such a military trick, when due to such a long undermining and undermining, then coming to the surface, through this undermining, the russian military there climbed within the limits of our positions and they were entrenched there, that is, it just partially affected the situation in the hostilities, where the enemy entrenched himself in a rush in the direction of vida sinuvatoya, along kokssokhim, then he tries, as before, to enter komsokhim, he is knocked out and destroyed there, the fence

around komsohim there are sown with russian bodies, nachidrons and artillery are actually working there, and it’s as if the dynamics there do not change, but in any case we understand that avdiivka will remain such a, well, hot, section of the front, and everything will depend on a sufficient number forces, means and reserves, which will be used by our general staff, forming defense tactics in this area of ​​the front. mr. serhiy, but the fact that they began to actively use cluster bombs there before these kamikaze tanks indicates that they simply they choose... the titodes that are available to them are more and more aggressive, so that there is simply as much destruction as possible, or do they simply have nothing else to fight there? well, in fact, during this time, when we are talking about the enemy's offensive on avdiivka , the enemy used different tactics, we will also talk there about mass tank and armored assaults, then

the use of infantry without armored vehicles, then infantry and armored vehicles, which is precisely in the format of these thirds assaults, and indeed now the enemy began to use, cluster, ammunition, which are from aviation bombs, that is, e bombs, which, are dropped from airplanes and scatter eyes, as we see now eyes, explosive devices, which are really quite dangerous, like any weapon, this suggests that now the gorog is really looking for any options to put pressure on our defenders, using the means that he considers to be the most effective, we remember that he used to pull up these suns in various areas... with a range of up to 6 km, which were then destroyed by our fpvs, drones, and from the point of view of destroying these cabs and cluster bombs, it is more difficult, because

drops behind the areas where our pppo cannot reach these russian planes, but now we see a video from the director legh sintsov, these are precisely the actions of the 47th brigade unit in holding one of the e-e positions, where our group arrived at bradley, carried out attacks there actions, then our units were attacked by enemy equipment, tanks, and in fact, this episode clearly demonstrates how important the coordination of units is and how intense the fighting around avdiyivka is. mr. serhiy, and ukraine must, accordingly, too to take some action to... provide our military with a sufficient number of weapons and ammunition, and one of the elements of such actions is that we have now shortened the terms

of the supply of weapons, that is, all processes related to the supply of weapons are shortened as much as possible, and it is said that even testing of weapons will no longer take place somewhere else at enterprises, not on training grounds, but directly on the battlefield, on the one hand, we understand that this is good, because ammunition is something that is constantly lacking, there is not too much of it happens, and on the other hand, what dangers can this be, well, in fact, this decision of the new minister of defense umerov continues the trend that was started by reisnikov, then such a structure as a technology accelerator was created, which ensured the acceleration of the process of adopting samples into service at the expense of , procedures, because for a long time it was the case that it was necessary to pass tests at the training ground, to confirm the technical indicators of this weapon at the training ground, then after that

, an order was passed to provide this sample weapons of the units, after that there were purchases, now it is reduced to the fact that the sample of weapons can be tested directly on the battlefield and further, the procedure for accepting supplies is greatly reduced there to 20 days, but for now, for each sample of weapons, i think there will be own history, and we understand that all the samples of weapons that had a more or less perfect appearance, they are already in the armed forces and are being purchased and are performing their task. when we talk about new samples, then usually they are still in such a raw form, and even if in combat this type of weapon can... shield the enemy, questions still arise about its safety and such other things, so i think that when a young company there supplies, conditionally

say, a drone with a unique munition, and this munition is tested in combat on the battlefield, then there is no guarantee that the second or fifth, this munition, which is not known exactly how it works, that it will not explode in the hands of our military, and such risks in principle exist and even... there were similar cases with certain types of ammunition that we use with fpvd, so in any case we understand that on the one hand there is a process that is quite understandable for accelerating and maintaining initiatives to supply certain means to the the battlefield, this is absolutely to be welcomed, and on the other hand, certain procedures must be observed, because one way or another, the safety of the users of these weapons, well, should not take a back seat, so i think that everyone... sample weapons on the battlefield will be their own path and own trajectory. mr. serhiu, the message that our military is now working, our pilots, are now training together

with foreign instructors. but they are already ready to transfer and make independent flights, yuriy ignat told about this, is the infrastructure ready for the f-16 in ukraine in the meantime, for those planes and those pilots who are ready to be trained and returned to ukraine? well, indeed, the training of our pilots has been going on for a long time, in particular, we know about the training of pilots in the united states, where i think it is in arizona. at the air base of the us national guard, there was also training on simulators , then the flights were to begin, together with the instructors, and then the transition to individual control of this aircraft, that is , in fact, this process is taking place, and we also know about the opening of a new european training center in romania, which soon it will be on the wing and

pilots of the air force will be trained there for f-16 flights and ukrainian pilots, this direction expands the sites there, where you can train pilots first of all, and in parallel there were reports that also in the united states and in some other countries, technicians are being prepared to service those planes in the 16th, which we will receive, i hope, well, in the first half of next year, and there is a ratio that for each pilot there we need at least there are from eight to 12 technicians, that is, the process of training technicians is also extremely important, and the third block is infrastructure, i hope that these measures are really carried out in ukraine in parallel with the execution of combat missions on our existing fighter jets, although it is really a serious challenge for all our logistics , because we are talking about other fuel and other means of technical preparation of aircraft for

flight and other interaction of these aircraft with command and observation points, so i think that this is such a serious large-scale challenge that has decide the armed forces, so that as soon as possible, these aircraft begin to perform combat tasks on the battlefield, and the fourth component, this will actually relate to what list of weapons we get for the f-16, because we are talking about the f-16 as a perfect platform, but we don't know for sure what weapons will he receive. ukraine, in any case, we understand that these will be air-to-air missiles that will be able to repel russian planes and destroy them together with planning bombs, will allow the destruction of shaheds, but in any case it will also suffer from close cooperation with countries nato, because, relatively speaking, the effectiveness of the f16 is based on the fact that it closely cooperates with aircraft, in particular the vaxs, which is given

to the general on the battlefield, and i think that this direction should also be worked out with our partners, so that the intelligence information was a critical component in enhancing the f16's capabilities on the battlefield. mr. serhiu, we have 30 seconds, yesterday they spread information about not ignoring the alarm at night, that it can be serious and dangerous, it's just a leak of information that spread somewhere from maybe our intelligence officers there, or the russians, in your opinion, as you say, half a minute, well , in any case, we are responding to the fact that an air alert is a sign that our anti-aircraft forces know what threats exist, and i am basically oriented precisely on the messages of our airmen. thank you, mr. serhiy, serhiy zgurets, director of the information and consulting computer company defense express, was in touch with us. it's almost 9:00 a.m., the time we remember

everyone. a moment of silence for those who died in the russian-ukrainian war, those who died defending us and you, or those who died at the hands of the occupiers, both the military and the civilian population. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war that unleashed by russia.
