está muy bien dear friends, we are back on the air , continuing our marathon, andriy saichuk, lesaluk, we are working in this studio for you and now with us will be yuriy fedorenko, the commander of the akhiles attack drone company of the 92nd separate assault brigade, we are waiting for his appearance on our air. last time, by the way , the planned meeting with mr. yurii did not happen, because he was... on a combat

mission, so it coincided urgently, and there will be an opportunity to ask how everything went that time, and this week, it seems was we are informed, meanwhile, that russian troops will advance to the districts of avdiyivka and staromarsky, this is the war research institute, this is reported, they have advanced near the steppe 3 km northwest of avdiyvka, 11 km near novokalynovy, that is 12 km to the northwest from avdivka, there is a small advance there, there is a russian, who is already yury fedorenko, with us is the commander of the company of attack drones 92 separate assault brigade, mr. yury, good morning to you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, in which direction are you working now? bakhmuts direction. uh please tell me what the situation is, last time, by the way, you were with us on a combat mission, what were the results, what

is happening now in the vakum direction? the situation has not fundamentally changed over the past week, for the enemy it continues to be one of the priority directions, as a direction, as a result, the enemy storms on all fronts, storms using combined manpower, this is a regular army, and representatives of private military companies, even started with the representatives of wagner pmc, who signed contract with the russian occupation forces. and continue to fight against ukraine, the enemy is trying to find the place that is weak in our defense, in order to further develop success, because it has a clear task to regain lost positions, commanding heights, as well as klasdarms. at the moment , the enemy has no tactical success in the field. defense forces in joint work manage to effectively repulse attacks, and when such an opportunity arises to push the enemy back from advanced positions. therefore, at the moment, despite the opposition, the enemy

, the defense forces manage to keep the initiative fully on their side, and if we talk now about the nuances of the weather, i know that the other day there were quite strong winds, there was poor visibility, or somehow it also affected the work of our uavs, and how does winter make adjustments now , today is the first day of winter, after all, how does it make adjustments to your work? of course, its sub-zero temperature directly affects the electronic carriers, the electric batteries, it reduces the arrival time of our air bubbles, and also distances for which we can work, but here too, our engineers, boys and girls , are looking for solutions and they are found in most uavs, which allow us to make a more powerful battery to keep the summer dynamics of the time in the air, as well as the dynamics of the flight, but of course we understand that during the frost, it settles down faster, if we talk about

the working conditions, in such things as you can see now, for example on the screen, when it is being piloted, for example, now there is a flight into a tank, it is all done in manual mode, through pulult, and in order for the pilot to perform the task effectively, he must feel the joystick, in most of it, the guys' hands are in the open space, as a result, well , imagine when the wind is blowing, plus minus temperature, snow is still flying, the hands freeze literally after the first takeoff . but here there are also vodkas and the opportunity to warm up our hands, we found an algorithm for how to deal with all this in order to continue to effectively perform combat tasks, as for the communication routes, of course they also suffer, those sections of the road where we could to drive in 10 minutes in the summer, field roads, the connection itself, are now either impassable, or the logistics take where it used to take 10 minutes, now half an hour 40 minutes and so on, but here the emphasis is...

also note that we are in full-scale war, this is the third winter, so during this period of time we learned to fight in different weather conditions, and in particular, when it is freezing... rain, frost and the rest of the stream, so the work continues around the clock day and night, of course, when it rains , it is raining, gusty and windy, then the means of extraction are not in place the air is not hostile to the niche, but the boys and girls are in positions and only the rain stops, according to the means , the air immediately rises, they give situational awareness, we see the enemy at night, as a result we insult him due to the equipped impact, these are both means and shock means, do you have enough drones, fpv drones that you can fight with? there are not many drones, i will tell you that for the most part the unit is provided with drones from

public charitable organizations, ukrainians who donate for drones, and partly we receive a small part from the state, in particular night bombers, for example, at the moment the unit receives in full... the account of the provision of the state, if you calculate in percentage terms, 7 months ago it was like this, we received 20% of the equipment from the state, 80 per at the expense of volunteer organizations of the ukrainian nation, at the moment we can say that it is happening in our unit 50/50, 50% of the necessary equipment comes from the state, 50% at the expense of donations, at the expense of the ukrainian nation, this is a non-representative opinion, yes it does not happen in all subdivisions, but the dynamics of development would be within the state, it still exists and scales dynamically enough positive examples. the volume and scope of the war is so powerful that the ukrainian state will not be able to completely block the need of the front, therefore, for a long time , the support of the ukrainian nation will be needed,

in particular in terms of means, and ukrainians should remember how it works at the front, the more means intelligence, the better we see the enemy, the better we see the enemy in this cheap time, the more effectively we can with... to destroy even on the approaches to our advanced positions, and this is very, very important, the more we destroy the enemy on the approaches to the positions, the less our boys, girls, who are infantrymen, are on the front line, perform the very difficult work , you have to repulse attacks in direct shooting battles, well, i have another question, mr. yuriy, the advisor of yermak, serhiy leshchenko, two days ago announced such shocking information that se... the average age of a fighter in the armed forces of ukraine is 54 years old, then in fact, that is, they are fighting on the front lines of their grandfathers, one can say whether this corresponds to your observations and whether it is,

or is it normal, the most adult in my unit is 57 years old, he is the most adult. the youngest is 19, so again, my opinion cannot be representative, because the complex unit consists exclusively of volunteers, 90% of whom have been fighting since the first day of the war, then absolutely everyone from different categories of social professions, social status came and began to take to hand weapons and work effectively, as for the troops in general, maybe yes, maybe average the age is around 60, 46-50, but there are also enough young people, i will give you a specific example, when a guy who is currently mobilized in our unit, who studied abroad, is 21 years old, in his third year, er, dropped out of school, took pause, returned to ukraine and is now being mobilized

to carry out combat missions, to fight for ukraine, there are also enough of such people, we have a nation of very courageous people, very courageous people, eh, thank you, sir. yuri and your brothers, for what you do, for this daily feat. yury fedorenko, commander of the shock company of drones from the 92nd separate assault brigade was in touch with us, and he said that to a large extent our military also receives drones with the help of your donations, so dear friends, i remind you that we are also collecting for 23- of a separate rifle battalion, which are currently in the donetsk direction, we are also collecting drones for them so that they can conduct reconnaissance. let's now show our viewers our ad once again, here is the qr code by which you can transfer funds, and if you don't know how to use the qr code, how to use it advice, how to scan it, you can go to youtube, find the youtube channel of the tv channel there, find the live broadcast, and under it find

will become let's counter the information attacks of the russians in the chronicles of information war project with olga ley. on monday, tuesday, thursday at 17:15 on espresso tv channel. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day, this is the ship district, kherson, inclusion live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we are telling the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. dear friends, we are back. serhiy zurets, military expert, director of the defense express company, will be with us on the air and now, traditionally, in this

from time to time, together with him, we analyze everything that is happening at the front and everything that is happening around the front, and we already include mr. serhiy in our broadcast. mr. serhiy, good morning, good morning, welcome to the economist publication, i don't know, i have the impression that we are quoting this publication most often lately, it gives us some such, but you see, we found ourselves simply focusing on the main copper, again. world and it 's not really bad, it's not bad, it's definitely good that we still stay in those columns because the ukrainian issue became much less there , but, it came out, it came out again, there was a material called, uh, putin seems to be winning, or winning the war in ukraine, winning, winning winning, that is, this is the present tense, which continues, well, fine. ugh, well, that's better, of course, as a present continuous tense, than as a perfect fact, of course. mr. sergey, did

you read the article, because it, well, the headline is like that , you know, not very, not very inspiring, and not very optimistic for us, what conclusions did you draw from this material? well indeed a number of publications are already appearing in leading european and american publications, and they are, in my opinion, all the same. are now directing the discussion and assessment of the situation in the right direction, it consists in the fact that now, the european countries, the united states should form a seemingly long-term strategy, which is directed at its support of ukraine on the one hand, and on the other hand at what they themselves have prepare more dynamically for a long-term confrontation with the russian federation, this applies precisely to the preparation of the defense industry, other areas and such and other components. in any case, we understand that this discussion, if it

simmers to such an extent, it still shapes the attitude of the europeans... to the fact that the dynamics of preparing their own industrial defense, their own strategies must be changed, and in general, i really do not i do not see anything so dynamically critical in those publications, in those headlines that you are talking about, it is really a difficult period now, i think that now all these meetings, which concern a number of european countries, which are taking place at the political level, in particular there are a number of conferences in the nato format. the european defense agency says that the europeans and americans are slowly beginning to readjust their approaches. but in any case, we understand that the next year will be extremely difficult, because from the point of view of the rate of supply of ammunition there and the rate of receipt of certain types of equipment for the armed forces, they will be less than the previous year, and just

at the end in the 24th year, according to the estimates of the same americans and europeans, they... will go on indicators of ammunition production, which can be compared with those of the russian federation in the alliance with supplies from north korea, so in any case the situation is really clear, complex, but precisely this clarity ensures, well, as you know, the formation of new and such more long-term approaches, one more article, one more publication is important, i think lawrence friedman, who has commented a lot since the beginning of the war in ukraine, i like it. to be honest, his balanced comments are always so careful and they are always not very different afterwards from his predictions from reality, and he says that he, by the way, argues with mark geleotti, a very well-known kremlinologist, so to speak, and an expert on the russian federation,

geleotti also wrote a large publication about what putin hopes to wait. not losing to trump and for russia is already a victory, here he argues a little with him, and lawrence friedman believes that putin actually believes that next year, or this winter, whatever, russia will be able to make some breakthroughs and achieve military successes , he still doesn't rejects this opinion and hopes for a victory that will be more, so to speak , more obvious, both for the world and for russia, er, or whether it is for the russians in principle, this option remains, we also see that the president zelensky is now talking a lot about strengthening the defense lines, that is, we could not expel the russians by the end of this year, it is already obvious from their territories, but this

means that the russians can still take even more territories from us next year. well , if we consider lorus friedman's article, it is quite interesting, conceptual, because it says that a long war is not really such a profitable option for the russian federation, because it accompanies internal tensions, and when putin cannot show his population the logic of changes on the front line, any gains, in fact, this creates internal tensions, no matter how russian... propaganda tries to silence them, and in this sense, the approach to what we are at the first block, when we talked about the issue of assessing the situation in the municipality, in fact, precisely this long-term nature of the war with active assistance to ukraine from the united states and european countries,

with our adequate approach to the line of defense and defense policy for the next year, is what can be, conditionally speaking, our certain strategy, at least for next year, when we will ensure the renewal of our resources and maintain the lines of defense that the front line runs along today, and this short period of time, without even expecting trump's return there, putin is trying to use, based on the tactics, that our forces were in a certain way exhausted during the offensive actions there in the south and now we need to intensify the attacks along the entire front line and that is exactly what is happening now, but we understand that these forces that russia is using now, they are actually is the maximum bridge that is in the russian reserve, and now i think that

for some time we will see an intensification of efforts along the entire front line, and this has actually been happening for a month, and this dynamic is extremely important for the enemy, because it precisely combines military and political objectives. our task now is to withstand this pressure and in principle. to create prerequisites for strengthening defensive lines and defensive tactics and strategy in all areas of the front, with certain exceptions, and this is actually happening now. it is a pity that we are now starting to talk about fortification there at the supreme holokommuduch’s ponds only now, although the question of fortification was raised there and at the military level and at the expert level, now we see that the president is talking about it, he is talking about what we have enough there, and mines and concrete for this, but it is necessary to understand that now we will do certain things in such an afterburner mode, we did not want such, well, things to be constantly repeated, that is, a systematic approach to defense,

such a clear alliance between the military and political leadership, now we need it more than ever, and also rather shocking information from the adviser of the ermak serhiy leshchenko that the average age of a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine is 50. 54 years old, 54 years is another plus six years, and this is actually even outside the mobilization framework, are people really that old now are fighting, how does it affect the combat effectiveness of the army? well, it's actually hard for me to confirm those figures, although in any case we understand that we've seen a lot of claims that the nature of combat now requires significant physical training from a personal... contribution and older people really, well, can't do those task in its entirety, which of course affects the effectiveness of certain military operations, and therefore precisely

the approach to changes in mobilization, to the formation of such fair criteria for conducting mobilization and the combination of this mobilization with changes in the training of personnel, training of commanders, i.e., the search for options when everyone's capabilities will maximally meet the needs on the front line, this is exactly what military politicians should decide in the format of this new concept of mobilization, zelenskyy said, that certain decisions should be presented there this week, we see that parliamentarians are currently finalizing certain bills, but so far it is difficult for me to draw conclusions as to how much this will change the overall situation on the front line, because now we really feel a lack of certain resources, not all brigades, this really affects the fact that sometimes in certain areas of the front our defense buckles under the pressure of the enemy.

approaches to mobilization, they are different, for example, we read today that in zaporozhye, the municipal guard, that is, the municipal guard, will go around the apartments and look for people who have not yet come by themselves, but they will go around the apartments by the hour . this is such an approach, and on the other hand there is criticism of such an approach, which in general means some such total things, that everyone is subject to mobilization , but nevertheless, we often hear about it even there from danilov, for example, it is interesting , by the way, that on the one hand, danila says that we will have completely new approaches to mobilization, and then too he says that everyone will fight in general, and there are different opinions, here is one of such interesting ones. this is the opinion of colonel svitan, who, for example, says that we should follow the path of israel, where all civil servants are simultaneously conscripted, they constitute

such a first mobilization reserve, in particular the police, in particular, there are all kinds of tax officials and so on and the like, well, the same municipal guards in the end, in our country, on the contrary , all these people who are part of state structures, they were also protected from mobilization, here is yours. the opinion, as far as civil servants, the police, can be mobilization reserves, and whether the central committees should conditionally become recruiting centers under the brigades, colonel svitan also suggests a checkerboard, so that the brigades themselves could have the opportunity to mobilize or engage in recruiting, more precisely by recruiting, based on the needs of the brigade itself, well , when we talk about recruiting, we really have such ... good examples when we talk about the experience of the third separate assault brigade, which does the whole process, from recruitment,

people who want to serve in the brigade or ... through advertising there and placing ads on well-known sites, but first of all, after motivated people are selected, a full process of training these people is ensured in conditions that ensure the most effective use in the battlefield, so that is to say, the whole chain, when a person knows where he is going, what is the spirit of the brigade, what are the teams providing, what kind of... secure preparation and what is the result, this is what, relatively speaking, well, reduces the fear of one or another mobilized there, to end up in such a format , in a variation, when both the commanders and brigades are absolutely, let’s say, well, no, not prepared for combat operations, and the issue of the execution of the combat mission is decided at the expense of the number of people who

rush to this or that area, regardless from their training, there are situations when relatively speaking, some brigades are simply forced there, well, the situation there is under fire there, when there is a lack of people and relatively speaking, there are technicians there or engineers there or signalmen there form strike groups, infantry groups in order to get the site, because the brigade commander is responsible for the area and he understands that he will bear responsibility if this area is lost, and then such rash decisions will be made to throw anyone into... the defense of one or another line, this, of course , ends in losses, and sometimes the task is not completed, so in any case by the way, now we are at such a difficult stage, where these questions have accumulated , there have been many different versions, many proposals, but so far it has not crystallized into such a new scheme, a new model, which would really , well, ensure such a close connection between,

society, people who will be, understand that the war is everyone's business and the fulfillment of the tasks of each brigade on each part of the front, now the process is only taking shape as i think, well, we literally have two minutes left before the minute of silence, i will ask very briefly, these long-range bombs, with guidance with this, for god's sake, satellite smaller, the pentagon decided to postpone their delivery until next year. we don't need them, what's going on? eh, this is the problem of the saab company, and the american companies, they are, in principle, this is a new model that should be launched under these launch hymars, they promised to complete the tests by the end of the year, now the first batch will be tested and at the beginning of the year the first batch will be delivered there in ukraine, it's just a technological process of creating a new type of weaponry, that is, in fact, this is exactly what it is now affects their transfer in ukraine, because

there are no variants of these samples developed yet, but this is one of the components of new technologies that we are waiting for, about which the decision of the american side said, to create a weapons system for 150 km, combining there there are different variations of bombs and engines, the problem is that the new sample turns out to be not so fast to integrate it into an effective means of destruction, of course, thank you, mr. sergey, thank you, sergey zurets, military expert, director of compensationpress was with us, we are approaching 9 in the morning, at 90 in the morning i remind you that all of ukraine remembers those of our citizens whose lives were taken by russian aggression, andriy and i will return to ether at 10:10 and continue our marathon, and at 9 after a moment of silence, espresso will be aired by our colleagues from radio svoboda , svoboda ranok, so stay with us, and let's all pay our respects now. a moment

of silence for the dead ukrainians. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
