shelter in the apartment building where i live, can strangers be allowed there? yes, during an alarm , people who do not live there can and should be allowed into the shelter of the house, because everyone has the right to civil protection, even if the person is not familiar to you, to be safe is the right of everyone.

we return, yes, we welcome those who join us, and we join stepan barna, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, to our conversation. glory to ukraine, ukraine, mr. stepan. congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes. tell us what you think, judging from the figures given to us officially by the general staff, the last day was quite fierce from the point of view of battles, because there are many good russian ones, more than 1000. how does it look in your direction? well, in our direction.

it looks like a positional war, the positions of our brigade, as well as my battalion, are concentrated in the fields, and we have been in these fields for the past almost a year, and i would like to note that our positions are unchanged, active assault actions on the part of the russian occupier there was no simultaneous shelling of the positions, they have a regular character, and they do not stop every day with the use of aviation, artillery, fpv drones , mortars and other means are now actively used, that is, as of this moment , the russian side in our direction is engaged in such a positional struggle, i understand that they are more focused on the direction avdiivsk, kupinsky, and we are somewhere in the middle, it is somewhat easier for us,

time, i will say this is temporary, because we must be ready at any moment, that the efforts of the russian the occupier in a direction unexpected for us, they are trying to probe for positions somewhere, weak positions and after probing, they carry out active massive assaults. mr. stepan, we just talked about another war, the israeli war against hamas, and there hamas is actually waging a war on the ground. and underground, having built entire communication systems for fifty kilometers, as well as looking at how you develop a discussion in the rear, when the military, or those who were at the front, say, listen, while ours on tv talked a lot about the counteroffensive, there built entire cities, poured concrete over communications, the first, second, third line, and it looks as if they have a surovikin line, in our country, if the fighters themselves do not...

dig a second line of positions in the frozen ground, then as if no one digs them, such treason treacherously spreads through facebook, how do you have, how do your communications look , how blocked, how concreted, is there a line, a second line of defense, how does it look in muscovites, well, if we take from point of view, zero and from the point of view of the positions, well, you see, that everything that is dug is dug by the hands of the soldier, and first of all, the positions at zero , they are made by their own hands, this is the specifics of the front, that the guys who storm come up, then the guys who dig come in, and accordingly it happens on every meters of liberated, ukrainian territory, or when there are... some changes in the line

of defense, that is, everything is done exclusively by the hands of the soldier , er, from the point of view of how the means are supplied, well , they get there to the place of unloading - unloading by shacks or so called gas 66, a then the guys carry firewood in their hands, they carry logs that make it possible to build dugouts, as for the russian side, i would like to note that this has practice, concreting takes place, but the fact is that no one will risk using active equipment. unlike the russian side during the construction of fortifications, we protect people and protect equipment , the russian side does not do this, and accordingly, every equipment that is somewhere in the range of ukrainian artillery or fpv drones, or aviation, will be affected or

destroyed very quickly, so they are actively doing it, risking the lives of builders, risking the lives of soldiers, this is how they drive in, drive concrete, we observed this, they did it actively in the summer and continue to do it now, they use equipment, excavators, it is quite often is happening, but again they are losing it, and these are priority targets for potential damage by ukrainian defense forces. panepan, here the mud of autumn and november has not had time to dry, there is already snow. frost begins, somehow it changed your situation, the situation on the battlefield and in general the course of hostilities, well, in principle , the weather has an active influence, that is, we have now experienced warming in the donbas, this means that the swamp, well

, the terrible swamp and the dugouts are flooded in some places , this is happening, enough often, the fields are very difficult. arrived just a few days ago was returning from one of the positions, i will say that it is an incredible test for vehicles to slip through such mud, which in terms of impact, it is obvious that it affects what is less used in such conditions, infantry, assault actions are carried out less, on the one hand, this is bad, because they will be scared wet and cold. but accordingly, on the other hand, it is good, because there is a certain probability that there will not be an assault in the near future. usually, the russian side, as soon as the frost intensifies, they resort to such active assault actions, at least this was in the winter of last year, well, this year and last

year it was actively observed, now it is somewhat uh, restrained activity, and i hope that somewhere will be in this state. sir stepan, you say that the number of actual assaults has decreased, there is less work on the ground, but what about above the ground, is the use of various drones increasing, because we understand that most of the time of the day is now either dark or dusk, and when it's raining, it 's probably not easy either. well, i have already said about it several times and i will say it again that now the course of military strategy has radically changed both on our side and, unfortunately, on the side of the occupier, who learned quickly, i would like to note that we had a certain initiative in the air for a long time , by means of fpv drones,

drones, unfortunately, today the situation has somewhat leveled out , mr. this is extremely important, and the use of fpv drones is extremely large now, i want to note that if you were to imagine being at ground zero, it would be like this... drones on the one hand, on the other hand, when the occupiers can fly deep into ukrainian territory, we can too to fly within 15-19 km there, at best an fpv drone can fly, but you imagine what it can carry, and

damage to equipment is the biggest danger, as well as human manpower, from our side and from that side, it an extremely important component of our war, therefore, the more drones we have, the better, the more opportunities we will have to observe the course of hostilities at night, and this is provided by mavic thermal, night means, surveillance, the better, that is, now on at this stage i believe that we should fully join forces authorities, society in order to provide the front as much as possible with such means, and mr. serhiy, it is also no secret that this is a war of technologies, in fact even ours, your colleagues. defenders, who fly precisely with bpp and with drones, say that

this is a matter of the week, the upgrade of new technologies, programs, circumvention of electronic warfare, and he, in fact, is not the only one, many have already told us that we lack high-tech fast solutions of radio-electronic warfare, because videos about how muscovites are attacked with their fp drones also flood the internet, in them too, there is also a lot of this, do you have, for example, specifically in your area of ​​the front, did you have increased radio-electronic warfare, did you get something more modern that helps, well, to protect equipment and personnel from fpv drones, at least to plant them, shoot them down and so on, well, first of all, we are working on this issue, we are talking to people who are developers, they are working on similar means of electronic warfare, obviously on... for example, we also ordered such means, some units in our battalion are working

already developed, we exchange experience among ourselves and look for those manufacturers who can provide effective means of such radio-electronic warfare, this is extremely important, now this issue should be focused on two directions, the first direction is the trenches, the so-called rebs, who will give the opportunity to defend without... average infantrymen, guys who are at zero, and the second is local employees who can defend there, for example, certain units of equipment that provide, transport equipment, ammunition, and personnel, that is, this it is extremely important, and as of today we are working, you are absolutely right that everything is developing so dynamically that, unfortunately, even we would like to take, for example, buy something at state expense, it is practically impossible, why, because there is

a certain problem of certification, licensing, everything is so dynamic, it happens that , for example, the same licensing that can be obtained in six months, it can already be nullified within a few weeks or several months, that is, to get such a license there is no opportunity for a corresponding unit of equipment, and on the other hand. we are forced to work with sponsors, with people who can help, with meetings, with donations , with people who help us to buy similar means of radio-electronic warfare, test them, offer to quickly transfer this experience to other units and use it for a certain period of time , and no one excludes that in a certain time there, a month, two, it will be necessary to change these means again in order to come up with something again, ugh, mr.

stepan, thank you for the prompt information, thank you for your service, stepan barna, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, this is donetsk region, this is the avdiyiv direction of the bahamud, and why did i ask like that, look in the new york times they once wrote that, well, like once, literally at the end of the summer, that radio electronic struggle, rap in the war in ukraine has become one of the most important directions, russia still has an advantage in it. and today, the institute for the study of war says precisely that the advantage in rebs allowed the ssu to successfully advance into the districts of bakhmut , zeika, klischivka, and so on, that is, this is the situation between which several weeks, how dynamically the situation is changing and what exactly mr. stepan told us about. we will take a short break and with a military expert we will analyze such swings of information, war and in general the strategy of the winter campaign, stay with espresso. on december 10

, i will visit lviv. st. nicholas writes letters to nicholas in his own persona in maryana savka's christmas musical. lviv orchestra, dudaryk chapel and favorite soloists in a festive performance for the whole family. on december 10 , exclusively at festreblik live sound. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports about them, but it is not enough to know what is happening, you need to understand it. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess events, analyze them, modeling our future, every saturday at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio zahid with anton borkovsky at espresso. kanal espresso and ukrainian pen

present their own title project with myroslava. a series of conversations with ukrainian and western intellectuals who interpret and comment on the most relevant social discussions that it is the news that will analyze the guests of the project this week and actually who will be the guest of the studio, we will find out already this sunday, clearly, the topics will be relevant, the guests will be special, their own names with myroslava barchuk, sunday 17:10 on espresso. attention, friends, urgent collection. the espresso tv channel is asking you to join the urgent collection for a truck for the first separate special purpose brigade named after ivan bohun. artillery reconnaissance. artillery eyes, they are the ones who need a new car. our defenders are in the active zone hostilities and recently conducted a very successful operation. but the enemy destroyed their

suv. therefore, it is important to send them a new one as soon as possible. the car at the front, especially in for our soldiers it is everything, without it it is much, much more difficult to fight, let's help, collect funds and buy a car for our defenders, the car has already been found, it remains to buy it back, cars at the front are consumables, they are constantly destroyed, so donate and help our armed forces, support our gathering together to victories, uah 450,000, the cost of the car, uah 4,500 - the amount that needs to be collected. we return to the conversation, i see, we talked about the advantages of radio-electronic warfare, yes, which were at first as if cerebral, now on the side of the ukrainians, the same now applies from the point of view of very dynamic things, digitization, do you remember that too they said

to shorten these procedures, our military says that now the procedures have already been put in place. when it's damaged, it has to be written off, it seems to have shrunk, but it's still a matter of weeks, it's a matter of a long time and, but it is not known whether it will be possible to do it faster, because only one reduction was carried out, or whether they will once again allow to make a gap faster than the state, and this despite the fact that huge resources are now included in these programs, we understand that even the budget is overturned in where it is separate, the uavs and the rep, as separate points, there is this and the army of drones, the rep army, as if big projects, and they lose to ordinary volunteers in terms of speed, speed is what we are talking about now we say, and our military confirms it to us, the difference is that we lose in rebs, and the difference is that we win in rebs, and therefore it allows to advance, two weeks, i look at two dates

of publication, analysis, for august and for september, there is a difference of two weeks between them and a diametrically opposite assessment. well, that’s what we talked about and now we’re reflecting on it, we can give you a little more official information, remind you that last day, muscovites used 87 strike drones, yes, it was that night 75 and even later during the day it flew somewhere, this has already been clarified data, we are already talking about such volumes, there are also specified data from russia is warmly informed about the new you, that may they be lucky, and we will now talk about it all with oleksiy hetman , veterans of the russian-ukrainian war, reserve major of the national guard of ukraine. glory to ukraine, mr. oleksiy. glory to the hero, good morning.

i can't help but ask right away about the darkness in donetsk region, the darkness that covers donetsk region, despite the fact that it is further east and it should have been light, they were left without light, and about the fact that the attack, the blow to their energy system in the temporarily occupied donetsk region, is essentially - not really, such blows that have strategic importance, strategic, well, they give both military importance and emotional importance, and well, they give importance in any case, well, the secretary of the national security and defense council, mr. danilov said in plain text that if the russians will... try to attack our our facilities, energy facilities inside the country, then let them understand that there will definitely be an attack on... the answer, well, we see it, and i think that this is just, well, this is just the beginning, because mr. olria, but look, for the russians, despite the fact that they handed out their passports there, that's all

some colonial territories with people who don’t feel sorry for them, they absolutely do not treat the occupied donetsk region as their real territory, and what does this give us strategically, if mariupol sits in temrev, does it help us in any way, we we would like moscow, tula and other cities to sit in temrev, well, this is our wish, well, look , there are still russian military units there and there are administrative units that are trying to provide these troops, well, they are russians, really, they are not live in the occupied territories as equals to the same russians who they consider... these people are already russians and as other russians who live inside the russian federation, but everything is there, military units and administrative units are located there

, and sitting like that without light, it will be a little, a little harder, and especially for the military, because they, well, they still don't expect us to be able to make any serious movements, any serious actions in those territories that they consider theirs, well i.e. russian territories, or temporarily occupied territory, so this is very ... i think this is just the beginning, this is not a powerful attack, we have the ability to manufacture, well , thousands of drones every month, there is talk that it could be there up to 30,000, our military-industrial complex, that is, ukroboronprom, apparently has such capacities, so it will also be tul, moscow and st. petersburg, because our drones, they fly up to a thousand or more, there is even such information, that is, they are made, they are similar on the shaft from the outside, well, it's simple, it's not a copy shaheda, just like that, such a glider can move best of all and reach the goal, but our drones are more accurate and fly further, so let them wait, mr. oleksiy,

avdiyivka, yesterday the russian military officers were talking all evening about the fact that they are already on their way, but our tsaplienko every time either sent some videos, or messages from the ukrainian military, who are there with video evidence... saying that no, there are no russians there, although heavy fighting in promky district was reported throughout the evening and into the very night. we also have this third phase, the third such the powerful wave of the russian offensive on aviivka, please analyze in more detail what is happening there and what could happen next, well, the third wave, so they heard the third wave, that is, if they... started the first or second fields, this there were just attacks on the flank, i.e. through the north, there is pervomaiske, here in the north there is a cheerful little rock in the south, they

are trying to attack also and as they say in the front , i.e. without a direct direction well , you can see it on the map, whether they have captured it already the coke and chemical plant, that is, the industrial zone, well, information, well, they can tell you anything , the russians, that they captured everything there, that they already went to the cor, anywhere, i remember, well, you also remember, when they told during the battles for bahmchi, they captured 10 times , and then it did not correspond to the reality of what was happening there, well, the head of the military-civilian administration barabash said that the number of russians attacking there was simply off the scale, they were climbing through all the cracks and that what exactly is unpleasant, they they began to use... heavy bombs, airstrikes, and here is the coke and chemical plant, it is almost completely destroyed, so there is already a defense there, well, it is not as convenient as when it was, well, like a fortress, now it is ruins, on

the ruins, well, news, actions in defense are not so convenient, what are the prospects there, well, the number of people and equipment that the russians are attracting there, well, for now it gives us the opportunity to keep the defense there, but avdiivka is not. says the american war research studio, to put a large number of people and equipment there from our side, now what is happening there, we do not withdraw to orlivka, to umansk, to berdysh, that is, to an already prepared position, we maintain defense there, because the task of any army during a war is to destroy the enemy's army, and what the enemy does there is so strong assaults, it allows you to destroy a large number. enemy forces and equipment, while the probability of encircling our garrison in avdiivka is certainly there, but the probability is not very high that they will be able to do it, if

this, well, the leadership will see that an encirclement is possible, a real encirclement, and not just there fire control and other things, then i am sure that there will be one team to leave, because for the russians this is, well, an important political component in this audio, well, we already understand that soon putin will, say, well, start to campaign for the elections of the president of the russian federation , which will take place there on march 15-17 next year, and he has to do it against the background of some victorious relations there on the... front, so there was such a thing, everyone is sure that there was such a thing, so that before he starts there, to announce that he is going to the presidential elections, so that it is some victories at the front, they were looking for a place to choose in order to present it as a great victory, they chose avdiivka , why so, you can make a lot of assumptions here, and somewhere it should take place in about 90 days, the nomination of candidates, that is, it is somewhere

on wednesday, well, december 15 before that, if they can't capture it, he needs to have this chip in the next two months, and let's say that the huge city of avdeivka, a multi-millionaire, we took, yes, although, in fact, i look at on the map even, and i try to translate in the narrowest place, where they slightly advanced from midnight in the region of the steppe, and in the area of ​​the watershed there, well, it’s a matter of a few kilometers, our entrenched, will they have time to push through these few kilometers, even if they just walk over their corpses, no, well, let’s say that they are capable or incapable, it depends on what forces they will use, when we look at the map, we must also understand that there is a different number of military personnel and equipment from

our side and from the side of the russians. the number of russians prevails there by dozens times, so no matter how any army defends itself, no matter how bravely the fighters fight, if 30 times, then here you simply won’t have time to reload, excuse me, you simply won’t have time to reload your machine guns, that is, it all depends on how much, how large a number of people they will use there, one must understand that the people they can add to the reserves are not the style of the russian federation. this is a movement along the front line, and if they significantly strengthen something there, then somewhere they will essentially weaken, once again, for now we are destroying the enemy there in a big way number and its equipment and there is no point in leaving, it is necessary to continue to destroy it, when there is a real threat to the environment, well, 100% will be given the command to leave, and no one will stay, leave the unit there in the environment, well, that’s all here and kind of quite

transparent. mr. oleksiy, 30 seconds will remain. the kupyan direction, given the fact that there is currently the greatest activity near avdiyivka and bakhmut, or is the kupyan direction now taking a back seat for the russians? please, half a minute, well, yes, you can say that he takes a back seat, because they have to it is necessary to carry out a political task, to take an audio device, so that it would be possible to talk about it on the russian propaganda channel, there is a large group in the kupyan direction, there are 130,000 manpower, plus 2 reserve army, it is not fully staffed, because the army must be more than 40,000 soldiers, there are about 20-25, that is, half of it is a little more staffed, there are about 850, barrel artillery, about 500, some systems of salvo fire, about 2,000 units of heavy equipment, and of them 10,000 units tanks, that is there is a powerful group, but now all their attention and all the main, main actions are precisely in the audio direction, thank you.

he was with us during the russian-ukrainian war. it is now approaching 9:00, the time when we remember all those who died in the russian-ukrainian war, all those who gave their lives for ukraine. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
