[000:00:00;00] a good partner, this is the kingdom of the netherlands, the right-wing radical party has won the election in them, but obviously this party will have the majority, it will form the government, and the current minister of defense, ms. ollen gren, who actively supports ukraine, said that in the netherlands there is broad support for our aid to ukraine, i hope and expect that this will not change in the new parliament, but pvv is a party, now it is the largest party, they have never been enthusiastic about supporting ukraine, they have not even been pro-russian at times, pro-russian at times, so that worries me, i'm very short'. it is not literally, well, i did not prepare for this, but i read this information literally just now and it excited me a little, how active is the support of weapons from the netherlands, well, money is clear, but so what, the netherlands is part of the coalition of related to the f-16s, they will just provide us with the transfer of a number of f-16 aircraft in the future, i think that this will not change in fact, and the 2 billion euros that are expected for assistance, well, this is

a substantial package. which can be embodied in different weapons systems that this country can supply to ukraine, we are even now watching the world war ii movie in color on netflix, and it tells how general manstein took the netherlands, well , after bombing the port in rotterdam, the netherlands surrendered then, they are, i am leading to that , that if russia came to europe, which by the way is a plausible scenario in spite of everything, and many politicians in europe admit it, well , believe me, everything would happen very quickly, so let's support ukraine, which is sacrificing its own today. sons and daughters in order to save europe as well. kherson oblast, we are talking about it a lot now, there are certain hopes associated with active actions and successful actions of the armed forces of ukraine. what is happening there now and is potsdam expanding, or are the russians trying to narrow it? well, in fact, the situation in the kherson region on the left bank is one of the most relevant, which includes political, strategic and tactical political and informational components -

this is what is really true, it adds strength. optimism is related to the fact that we are pressing the enemy in certain directions, and in particular just right on the left bank of the dnieper, all these bridgeheads that have been created there now, they are all being held, the enemy tried to counterattack our units there, in particular around the wells, this is one of the largest, eastern bridgeheads, which is all in general, this area, starting there from oleshok dory . about 25 km, and in fact, the enemy cannot ensure that our units are pushed out, because firstly, they do not know exactly where, on the other hand, we understand that support across the dnipro river is provided in such a way that the enemy cannot move out, where exactly it happens, and these

bridgeheads are preserved, in fact we understand that the main task of these... units operating on the left bank is primarily to withdraw the enemy's forces, to create prerequisites for future actions, if the appropriate decision is made, and in fact, we understand that it is now approaching from winter, and the enemy may panic, because if suddenly these areas there freeze, in particular there and the dnipro, although not every year there, the dnipro freezes, and, but in any case, the enemy... well, he cannot determine it, yes that in any in this case, the situation there is extremely important and in principle, well, it adds such an impetus to our strategists, given the fact that this direction is such that the enemy there is chained to these areas, well, he is trying to counter it, we also recognize this, because he is now using aviation, artillery for strikes on our unit, in turn our artillery from the right bank, our means are in

action. quite effectively, and even in the russian public we see hysterics there, which say that their russian units are suffering losses and their teams there cannot manage in these conditions, well, there are various troubles there, starting with drunkenness and other things, which do not say that this army is effective, but it is large, in particular, there are about 60,000 units, just on this area of ​​the front and we understand that conducting such broad offensive operations with forcing is extremely difficult. task, this russian army is like the russian boxer valuev, but he is supposedly not very dangerous either, because he was not a technical boxer, but it was quite difficult to knock him out of them, of course, because, well, the mass and the head are stuffed with straw, of course, it falls weakly, but we believe in the armed forces and we believe that it will be possible to find opportunities there to advance the russians further, and according to the chaos that is happening there, the russians have begun

to advance again, has our offensive stopped, or it is already happening there in the battle, as they say, well there even, it is something that remains difficult to call for sure stripes, well, obviously, in those areas where they were in positional battles, well , indeed, if we are talking about statistics there in fact, there are 2/3 of combat encounters, i think even in a week, they just fell on avdiyivka, maryanka and bakhmut, the situation with bakhmut is such that we remember that we repulsed klishchiivka, andriivka there, moved there on kordyumivka, created a threat to this road, starting from bakhmut to horlivka highway, and the enemy over a certain period of time made a transition. first of all, the data of the landing units north of bakhmut, this is exactly where, the berkhiv reservoir, the most forces have accumulated, and now they are carrying out such counter-offensive attacks precisely

from the north there in the direction of yakhidne berkhivka, khromovo ivanivsk, i.e. somewhat to the north, in order, theoretically, if so, to maximize the threat, then bypass this grouping of our troops, which is carrying out combat operations there in the area of ​​the ticks, and try to attack from above and bypass our units, the enemy will not succeed, if we now pay attention to the reports of our brigades operating there, in particular klishivka, andriivka, it says that there are such tough counterattack battles, where the enemy uses a significant number of infantry, sometimes adds armored vehicles, but the line the front there does not change, although, in some areas there, in particular in the avdiyivka area, the enemy pressed against the railway there again, this is the line of defense that our armed forces are receiving, and there just, well,

such active counterattacking actions from both sides are enough sides, the use of artillery on both sides, aviation on the part of the enemy, and how our units operate, we can see from time to time on such videos, the effective... work of infantry units, assault units of the third assault brigade, which demonstrate as usual high education, stability of interaction, and this is what the defense now relies on, well, maintaining a sufficient number of weapons , well, you already mentioned avdiivka, you can now pay attention to this, we see that in the reports, it is constantly reported about a large number of casualties forces and equipment of the enemy, and yesterday they talked about the fact that a wave of offensive, well, a large-scale offensive on avdiivka had allegedly begun, is it really so, is it really so, because well, there were already there, so to speak, two such massive assaults with using armored vehicles, but even in between the attacks

did not disappear, the enemy, using the advantage in the number of his troops, tried to carry out attacks on avdiivka from many directions, that is, from the front from the north. attacks there, from the jasenvat junction, which are now marked there on our map, also tried to attack from the water test in the direction of the north, this is precisely the lower part of our map, and in fact, really , yesterday or the day before yesterday, such a third massive assault began, as general oleksandr ternavskyi said, using armored vehicles. by the day before yesterday was destroyed there, according to this commander, 51 units of combat equipment, including tanks, bmps, armored personnel carriers there, 44

samples were damaged, that is, in total, almost a hundred samples of armored vehicles were disabled, and about 700 enemies were destroyed, this is only in the direction around avdiivka, and despite the fact that the total losses of the enemy there for yesterday amounted to 100 people , the indicators of enemy losses are significant, but in any case avdiivka remains in such an extremely difficult zone, because the enemy's attempts act there on in the middle of the night to make their way to the komsomol to koksokhim, they are not successful, but he is now trying to carry out everything smoothly, attempts er, so that, after all, they advance there on the railway to the settlement of the steppe, but now we are just seeing a video from 47- of the magura brigade, this is a video posted by oleh sintsov, there is this video, there is about 30 minutes of such

an emotionally intense video, where our group of 13 fighters on bre bradley bmp goes into position, holds on to this position, the enemy tries at... the use of four there tanks, carry out the encirclement of our assault group, our soldiers there and the girls are just demonstrating, well, absolute training from the point of view there, repelling... enemy attacks, but then they leave these positions, on the bradley infantry fighting vehicle, it's just one of those - video of combat elements, where you can draw conclusions about the importance of training, stability , equipment of units, well, actually, interaction, and here at the same time there is luck and courage and luck, it all goes hand in hand

in battle , but it is important to understand that these are stormtroopers units that bear the greatest load on the battlefield, it is precisely from the assault units that success on the battlefield depends, but also losses, now we have the most precisely among the infantry, which is usually, well, trained, lacking, this is one of the issues that, well, we must to decide, or to use technological methods of combating the enemy, using drone artillery, but any... once everything is needed there, an infantryman who will go into the trenches occupied by the enemy there, and record that we are here, well, yes, indeed, today, by the way, i raised this topic the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, he held a meeting where, in particular , the issues of mobilization and demobilization of the work of territorial recruitment centers were discussed, i will not go into the details of all these issues, we, you know, now

... again we see a lot of videos, a lot, the work of tsk, for some reason they really do not show the video, well, good work, there are a lot of such examples, in fact much more than what we see, but in any case it affects people, it can also be said that it is part of ipso, but these are the problems that exist, people who are thrown to the front, with minimal, minimal training, by the way , general kryvonos spoke about this, he said that it is actually the destruction of people, so that these people, uneducated people, have no chance to survive in a field battle, well , if they are in the field'. line, and that is why it must be solved, the question is how much understanding there is now and the political authorities, first of all, because the generals, i think, have their own understanding of how to solve this problem, well, as i understand it, the bet was intended for so that to find a solution to this situation, because well , the people who went in the first wave have been on the front line for more than a year, and in fact, i think this is a historical phenomenon, because when the americans fought in vietnam, they...

12 months, it was already such a ceiling for the stay, rotations and replacements took place in any case, and despite the fact that these consequences of combat fatigue of the same american military led to the fact that they then calculated the financial losses for the fact that to restore these people who were on on the battlefield, they spent more than 10 million dollars on it, that is, it means that this physically restore psychologically yes, psychologically in terms of health, that is, these fatigue, stress, postboy... syndromes, this is not going anywhere, it accumulates in our soldiers, and in principle, all these tasks and issues will have to be solved in some way later, but so are people, if they are on the front line for a long time, they lose their effectiveness, because there were even there calculations that, relatively speaking, the best option when there is a unit in hostilities participates there for 30-40 days, then it is most combat-ready, after that the time indicators increase and the efficiency of the unit decreases, and in particular i have always

been interested in the methods of how our units get out of this and that trap, so relatively speaking, the third assault brigade, it is distinguished by the fact that there is a certain larger number of assault battalions and it is possible , in principle, to carry out rotations within the brigade itself, but this way, well, relatively speaking, is palliative, and in any case, of course one must want to have more brigade. you can rotate, new brigades must be formed and they must be provided, and all the same, we understand that the motivation of fighters, training, it all comes to the fore, and now we have such a history that we have to create such conditions when we can to ensure the high potential of the ukrainian army, and we will create the conditions so that the hunt for those mobilized, which we saw, is not at the forefront, but more civilized and correct models of interaction

between society and the defense forces, well, really, again anyway, despite the fact that there are many people who carry out their work professionally and qualitatively, especially now a lot of veterans work in territorial assembly centers and they work quite efficiently and communicate with people with respect, and well, there are different situations, again yes, but it’s just that people are mainly negative, people perceive it as generally negative, it’s not generally negative, here we just spoke today about the fact that maybe the ministry of defense should focus on communication, on the issue of correct propaganda, well t no a separate unit, they are subordinate to the command of the ground forces, the ministry of defense, well, we need to work, promote the work, carry out outreach work, there is a lack of... the power of possibilities, we, serhiy , can make a video for, well, it's not, it's not a joke really, it's important , because people should perceive this phenomenon and this body as one that wants to help the state and wants to do everything so that even if you go to war, you will save your life and be as effective as possible, the general of the criminal affairs said that if a person is on

the front and perishes without killing a single enemy, what is the effectiveness of it, well, then you have to take a model that has already been worked out, but i am already repeating myself about the third assault unit, they tried to create such a system, where if there are problems with state replenishment, then create your own in other words, the recruiting model that allows you to choose the best, by the way, there are quite a lot of their ads on facebook, and many people comment, say how to get to you, because a soldier must know that he will be trained, that he will have comrades, that the unit has fighting spirit that commanders are responsible for their words, for their actions, and the system is built in general, which is aimed at achieving a result, where everyone's contribution is absolutely visible and understandable, so even when we watch the video from the third assault brigade, it is also an element of ideological preparation to what will be on the front line, but you will not be alone, you will be with your brothers and they will help you, but you must also learn to be an effective fighter. thank you very much, sergey, well, we will actually continue this topic, because it is here

there are many nuances that are worth discussing, again, we are all just for that, conscious people, so that all this is as effective as possible both at the front and at work. with those mobilized with a mobilization reserve. serhii zgurets, director of the defensesex agency. thank you. thank you, vasyl, thank you to our viewers. good evening, we are from ukraine. and now i have another plot for your attention, the 228th separate logistics battalion , the first unit in the ground forces created on the model of the corresponding parts of nato. he will perform a strategic task support units engaged in combat operations, how can you join the battalion's assistance? let's see in our plot. you can help the armed forces not only with donations. the 228-strong military logistics team managed to unite ukrainians for a common struggle and together

period of work one such machine, it covers the need for a tank battalion, one such machine, so you understand, it covers four or five machines. such volumes really save the timeliness of the assigned tasks and save them for efficiency. i want to thank our partners who bravely responded with help and fulfilled this help. believe me, now the enemy will be, er, more scared of fear, when the equipment will be heavy to go in their direction, fueled to full tanks and execute. tasks, the military said that i was helping establish transparent civil-military cooperation and be a reliable partner for benefactors. when we evaluated the first results of our partnerships, we realized that people are not yet tired of supporting and helping the army, and the task of the military

is to let people understand what, how and when they can help to become part of our army, our joint victory. now the 228th separate logistics battalion is calling for the unification and cooperation of ukrainians in order to strengthen and build a modern frontline support system together. donors are invited to help the unit with various special equipment, material and technical means and special equipment for repair work. there are a lot of tasks of various difficulty, so the contribution of every citizen is important. well, we continue the big ether, two o'clock, i just want to say that since today is the 10th anniversary of the tv channel, we have a holiday, please congratulate us by donating to our fighters, on the link that we give you on that qr code and according to those accounts, let your donation be for the needs of the armed forces

called me and told me can i come out... just to the front door and when i came out she brought whole packages, there were sweets for the children, christmas toys , decorations, and it was very pleasant, i remembered this moment, and i decided, why not present such a miracle, such a fairy tale to the families, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, irina's husband is in the army again, and she continues to help make childhood dreams come true, unfortunately, not always families who have lost a breadwinner can afford even... quality winter clothes or something essential for babies and teenagers. at the same time, for each of us, it can be a huge amount. to become nicholas, who will bring a gift for a child, you need to go to the i am nicholas page on facebook, where you can choose a letter with a wish for one child or a family. iryna koval contacts all benefactors

personally, so that later every gift gets into the hands of the child who cares about it. a dream, since this action, the project has been going on for the seventh year in a row, it is simply transmitted, as they say, like word of mouth, so you can also go to the facebook page , there is an email address for letters, we send everyone the terms of participation in our project, and in fact, i want to say that the war in ukraine continues, and every day, unfortunately, the number of children who have lost... father or mother in the war, who died at the front, is becoming more and more, and accordingly the number of letters and inquiries is increasing. these are the letters children are writing this year, a letter from slava to nicholas. the boy wrote that he wants to receive a metal car model that can be assembled by his own hand, but he dreams most of all that our defenders return home alive and

unharmed. slava's father died in april 2020 in a battle in donetsk region, he was posthumously awarded the order of courage, we are holding such an action, i opened a special bank, and anyone who wants to can send money to this bank and write a separate comment on the drone there, because children started writing letters and writing that they don't want other dads, dads of other children to die at the front, and that's why they're asking all those who want to... give gifts to the children, to present a drone to our military at the front, so that it would help them fight. this year, the i mykolay project was expanded, iryna koval created a social program of rest and recovery for children whose father or mother died in the war. this program will allow children to visit another country and get to know

its culture. i chose 24 children who will go to new year's. christmas holidays for a week to austria, it will be linz and vienna, it will be excursions, it will be a lot of impressions, it will be a trip to a peaceful world, let's say we we will be able to give children at least a week to live in a peaceful country. during the rest , the children will be provided with proper care, the group will be accompanied by qualified adults, including a medical worker and a psychologist. a psychologist will conduct classes. with these children, he will assess the psychological state, we will conduct classes both in individual groups and individually with the child, if the child needs it. the volunteer asks everyone who cares to join the campaign, you can see the link to the bank on the screen, every hryvnia is important, the more people volunteer to support the families of heroes, then
