let's have troops, it's already as it is, and it is, well, but 33% instead believe that it is necessary to achieve the goals, and then at least the minimum ones, and then the incomes for which, to destroy bahmud, to destroy avdiivka, the city simply to the root, to seize those areas that they have already declared their own, we know this well, dear friends, there is already yuriy fedorenko, we are adding him to our airwaves, the commander of a company of unmanned attack aircraft complexes. the achilles of the 92nd separate assault brigade named after kushoy taman ivan sirk, if suddenly who did not remembered mr. yury from our airwaves , congratulations, glad to see you, mr. yury, what news do you have, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, the situation in the right direction continues to be as difficult as possible, the enemy has clear tasks, to achieve tactical success, namely to regain lost positions that were deoccupied by forces. of defense during

the summer-autumn counteroffensive operation, as a result, in areas where the enemy cannot use armored vehicles due to weather conditions, he storms mainly with manpower with significant support artillery means, also actively uses remote mining and ash means . in those areas where communication routes allow the use of armored vehicles, he tries to cover his infantry units with the fire of lightly armored armored vehicles and use them accordingly. for multi-shift rapid transport of manpower reserves to the front line. it is worth noting that, as before, the enemy does not count on its personnel, it is an expendable material they have, which is enough, and they use it absolutely, well, i don’t even know how to explain such a feeling that without thinking, the main thing is to achieve one or another result there, sometimes it happens that on a short stretch we can eliminate 15-20 people in a short... time, this is

conventionally three or four assault groups, which simply after the elimination of the first measure another, and so it is repeated, can be repeated there from morning to noon, then a short break and again the enemy continues shock assault actions. at the moment , the 92nd assault brigade is believed to be in the lane, thanks to the region right guidance and god's will, we stand. everything is fine with us , it means that the enemy has no tactical successes, if we say in general along the line of contact, it is worth noting that here the enemy has no significant tactical successes, there are positions for which very hellish battles are going on, that is the definition of hellish, it reflects reality because they are changing hands, the enemy who knocks us out, we knock out the enemy, as for the use of hpv, there were a few this week, a few more last week

days, when the means of drinking water significantly reduced their activity due to the fact that there was snow, then rain, then snow again, everything froze, froze, but at the moment it is already the second day that the unmanned means are in the air and perform tasks both on the way to these enemy targets and, accordingly , to destroy the enemy, in my opinion, in such dynamics, the defense forces will manage not to lose the initiative and stabilize the situation to the full extent, but here i emphasize that it is important... that we and civil society our moved in unison, why am i talking about this had a one-day business trip to the city of kyiv last week, and you know, i was so happy that in the city of kyiv there is almost no feeling that there is a full-scale war in ukraine, this shows that the defense forces are doing their work qualitatively, very qualitatively are doing their job, but at the same time it should be remembered that the enemy has not left his intentions in ukraine, he has not

suspended offensive actions, so today's relative silence may tomorrow, god forbid, change to renewed offensive actions by the enemy from various directions, as it were on the beginning of a full-scale war, anything can happen, because the intentions of the enemy in ukraine remain unchanged, the destruction of ukrainian statehood, the destruction of the ukrainian nation, i would like to ask our people not to forget that there is a full-scale war in ukraine and... to the extent they helped the defense forces to the best of their ability. more of us, more means, less enemies. volunteers say that the period of december and january is the most difficult for gatherings, for the army, you say that you visited kyiv, do you have the feeling that ah, people, well, if there is no shelling, today there was shelling again and, unfortunately, there are many injuries. of them in kyiv as a result of

a ballistic missile attack, but if there is no shelling, then people distance themselves from the war and think about how to buy gifts for the new year. it is very important that buying gifts for st. nicholas day for the new year, communication with friends, with families, with loved ones, this is an integral part of life, it is very good that the defense forces can ensure that inside our state, which is going on a full-scale war with with a strong army and in general with a large country that remains, the possibilities of civil society to live, as long as it is possible to live a full-fledged life. the only thing i emphasize is that civil society should remember that nothing is finished with us, we are currently in an active phase, a hot phase, a difficult phase, precisely the wars of russia against ukraine,

and the intentions remain unchanged, that's all for what i say that it is worth remembering and helping as much as possible, i also have the opportunity to analyze, for example. in 2000, even earlier this year, when i arrived, it's like, you know, it looked like , feeling, it was treated like that with some, you know , apprehension, apprehension, now, well, even this one looks comical, when you come there, there's a group of men who are starting to get divorced. because i think that this is from the center of military equipment, and here i want to say, guys, in my unit all volunteers are people who fight 24 out of 24 in 2022 and fight at the age of zero, 40%

of the personnel are those who returned after the injury, maybe it is worth mentioning that there are not only rights and duties, protecting the homeland is a duty. eh, and we must not hide, but prepare, because , unfortunately, we still have some time to fight, and saving the life of our family can only be won by defeating the enemy on the battlefield, this must be realized, for sure, on the table of president zelensky, there is already a voted law on lowering the conscription age, in your opinion, is it worth it, what is still worth it now in order to improve it... mobilization in ukraine, mobilization processes, we need a powerful information company that would explain that the defense forces need people of various professions, look, the most difficult job is the infantrymen, the stormtroopers, in my opinion,

this is a separate caste, these are people who have special, absolutely special, jobs of the infantryman to stand sometimes knee deep in water when today... it rains tomorrow it freezes, it is very difficult, at the same time everything is shooting at you and you are shooting from your enemy, but where the foot of our infantry is located, this is our ukrainian, de-occupied land, this is necessary remember, there are other professions in the defense forces, and drones, and operators of orbr means and drivers, there are many different professions, all of which are necessary, necessary, because in order for one attack aircraft to effectively perform its task, at least two people have it to provide the need for everything necessary on the front line. that is why an information campaign is needed, which would explain to people how mobilization takes place, how joint military training takes place, what are the chances of prospects for passing further military service well, the second question is still the same, but as for the draft age,

now the guy came from abroad, this is the second such case, he is 21 years old after his studies, and we can't him either. it is normal to mobilize, because he has to sign a contract, because he cannot pass the general principles of mobilization, if you sign a contract, it is for a minimum of 5 years, or until the announcement of the demobilization order, this is a completely different military medical commission, the check is additional, and here the person is already the moon cannot fall, so it must be simplified to maximally simplify the recruitment procedures, in particular the category of military personnel, conditionally from 20 to 26. i emphasize this and very carefully approach how to use the option reserve, because the effective use of training personnel gives a positive result. well, thank you very much for this conversation, and yuriy fedorenko and i spoke with the commanders of the strike

drone companies of the crank aircraft complexes of the 92nd separate assault brigade about the situation at the front, about mobilization problems and about what needs to be done in order to have more effective troops in... us at the front. we are now taking a short break, then we will return and analyze the situation at the front together with our military expert serhiy sgurets. stay with us. attention, an incredible novelty from rozpakuy tv, super warm and very comfortable alaska stayle boots, perfect fit, water-repellent material and a feeling of warmth even in 30-degree frost. alaska stayle boots have a universal design and practical black color, so they will fit both men, so do women. sizes range from 36 to 46, so get two pairs at once, for you and your husband. zippers will ensure a perfect fit, even on the widest leg. the insulation perfectly retains heat and

the warning system worked again, even after that , as the explosions rang out, it is reported that the number of injured people as a result of this attack has already increased to 53 people, mr. serhiy, this is the second time ballistics, what can this indicate, good morning, i congratulate our viewers, today was indeed such a difficult day for of ukraine. when we talk about the situation on the front line and about the enemy's attacks on kyiv, the enemy also used combined means of impression, we are talking about shaheds and iskander ballistic missiles and missiles up to s-400. i think we will know a certain amount of detail, exactly which missiles were used and in what quantity, by the end of the day, communicating with those groups that are currently on the ground. falling fragments of russian missiles, but let me remind you that earlier the enemy used

shahedis, then there were shahedis using these kh-55 missiles, which did not have warheads, then there were s-400 strikes, literally two hits, now we see both s-400 missiles and probably iskander ballistic missiles, when we ask again why there was no alarm, i will remind you that the speed... of missiles to the s-400 - these are missiles with a range of up to 200 km for air targets, but they are used for ground targets, their speed is two 2.5 km/s. that is, relatively speaking, this missile covers a distance of 200 km in a few minutes, and thus the warning system works, in any case, it already occurs after, probably, detection the launch of these missiles, although the air force said that if they knew about the movement of these s-400 systems on the territory of the russian federation, then early

warning with the help of alarm systems is possible, but we see that... so far, we react only after how the russians launch these s-400 and iskander missiles. i understand that there is an explanation for that, but people, you know, they will still say, and you have to be kind of happy about whether there is any solution to this at all, well , we are now running into technical limitations, we, relatively speaking, here are the russian sh-400 iskander complexes, they are located there at a certain distance from the russian border. we theoretically know their placement, but it is difficult to predict which of them will be used for strikes on ukraine, and therefore this is precisely the technological challenge that today does not allow us to determine in advance, er, which of the launchers after a certain time , in particular, there in 5, seven or 10 minutes, it will launch a missile attack, when we talk about

attacks using strategic bombers, we know the fact of raising bomber e. we know when a missile is dropped from the plane itself, we track these missiles with the help of radar, because they fly in the air at a considerable distance, which greatly simplifies the detection of the fact of an attack by the russian federation, regarding the control of ground-based launchers, well, it's extremely difficult. and here is the study of the war, published this somewhat embarrassing information about the fact that the russians managed to partially push the ukrainian forces under... the markets on the left bank where the so-called bridgehead is the dnieper near kherson, what do you think about it will you say well, for at least the last three days, the russian airborne units, this is the newly formed 104th airborne assault division, are now using really active

methods and means to, er... affect our bridgehead near the wells, assault operations are being carried out there with the use of armored vehicles, when from and from from the south line from the forest from the west there along the road where russian units approach there on the bmp, the bmt and drop the landing forces that are trying to storm our positions, we provide security. this is due to the work of artillery from the right bank, due to mining, robotic vitrons, but these last two or three days have been extremely difficult in this part of the front, there are certain advances of the enemy there, when we say that there in the direction of reducing our bridgehead, which our marines are getting

, but this not so significant things that are related to measuring in meters, but the question is that... now the enemy is suffering significant losses, when we talk about the losses of armored vehicles there, there are dozens of tanks, bmpp, i can't remember exactly now, but more than 10 tanks and amphibious assault vehicles were destroyed, and now this direction is extremely hot, because we need to ensure the logistics of our units that are on the defensive, to provide cover with artillery, drones, and i repeat, the enemy is now seeing the groups of airborne troops that were er... transferred earlier, now primarily directed them to to put pressure on our bridgehead around kyrynyk. yesterday, president zelensky wrote: "now our flag of ukraine is flying over the terrecon. horlivka is ukraine, donbas is ukraine" and announced that the assault group of the 24th of a separate mechanized brigade named after king danylo, despite the difficult conditions, repelled one of

the terekons within horlivka and captured the enemy's positions. mr. sergey, what does this mean? for us, how big is this success? well, in fact, we are talking about the fact that this southwestern outskirts of horlivka, this advance, if horizontally somewhere over 230 meters in the direction of hurlivka, terekon itself has a height of 200 m, in fact, it makes it possible to increase the reconnaissance and observation capabilities of ukrainian units. but of course place some groupings on the phone it makes no sense, but in any case we understand that this direction remains generally important, because... as for the actions in the horlivka direction, they distract a significant part of the russian troops, in particular from the avdiiv direction, but in any case, uh, the further movement in horlivka

is extremely difficult, considering the fact that it is necessary to conduct combat operations in the urban area, i think it is premature to talk about it yet, but these point operations are connected with the improvement of intelligence capabilities , pressure on the enemy, on... in this direction remains an important component of the actions of the ukrainian army, i also ask about the 200 million that biden promised to allocate to help ukraine during the meeting with zelenskyi, what will they be used for, is this a good sign for us now, well, this money is allocated for the supply of weapons from reserves of the american army, this is the so-called emergency aid, and i will remind you that the last package, i think it was a week ago, it was just... 75 million dollars, now it is 200 million dollars, and i will remind you that the balance in this, in this resource direction, when it comes to the use

of the department of defense stockpile, somewhere around $4.8 billion is what's left if we have the 175 and 200 package there, this one was announced yesterday, so we understand that within there 4.5 billion is still in there. .. the reserve, which can continue to be used by the united states to transfer to us the military equipment of the us department of defense, i think that this will be such a certain bridge to the already real package for the whole of next year, which is estimated there in the range of 61 billion dollars. for what will this money be directed? i think it's primarily about artillery as always, ammunition for the artillery, ammunition for the highmars, maybe some equipment there... techniques, but in any case, those are the things that are currently being used on the battlefield and are the main need , this is precisely the segment of expendable elements, missiles, ammunition and partial

armored vehicles. the russians have released pictures, including medvedev, the russian head of their national security council, the former president, that they have put into mass production a new a drone, what a termite, which is based on this type of helicopter and... loudly announced that it will be controlled by artificial intelligence, what kind of drone is it, how dangerous can it be? well, in fact, the russians have been carrying this drone with a written bag for the last three months, they are talking about the fact that we are creating our own samples of new drones there, but this drone is adapted for the use of unguided missiles there with a range of up to 8 km, but it should be understood that otaki helicopters... no drones are extremely vulnerable already even for and small arms and manpads, because firstly , it moves slowly, and secondly, it is a very

visible target for the operator of the manpads, even more so for more powerful means of air defense, so i think that in fact it is more about the propaganda moves of the russians, which are aimed at demonstrating certain changes, there are shifts in the work of their defense-industrial complex, but from the point of view of... influence on the battlefield, i think that this is much less of a threat than what constitutes, in particular, the same lancets or shahedis, because i repeat, slow target, visible the target is also very vulnerable to our fire, and a little about our production too, i read that bohdana, a ukrainian 155 mm howitzer, is increasing its production, which already produces up to six units per month and already about 30. which machines are already fighting in serial production in the ranks of the armed forces, how does this ukrainian development show itself and what can be

said about it? indeed, this is our first infection of a self-propelled howitzer of national caliber, which has a range of up to 40 km depending on the type of ammunition that this system uses, the rate of 6 howitzers per month is very a good pace, because it's even... more than in its time, france produced its caesar howitzers, which somewhat resemble our bohdan. during this time, bohdana has changed its essential, let's say, design features, in particular, there are different variations of the chassis on which it is installed, a mechanism for sending ammunition and projectiles to the gun has appeared, in particular, a mechanism for sending ammunition and shells to the gun, which increases the rate of fire and reduces the load on the calculations. the account of this sau and we understand that if 30 samples were really made, then this is a good enough reinforcement of our art component, let me remind you that in general

we have somewhere... if we talk about self-propelled howitzers of 155 mm caliber, which were transferred to us by our partners, then there are about 400 different systems of them, and all of them are just, well, much better in general than the soviet ones samples with regard to the range and automation of fire introduction processes, so in any case our component is also an important addition to those supplies from our partners, precisely the development of a... air defense means system is the priority that, well , even was mentioned in the same way during the meeting of president zelenskyi with representatives of american companies during a working visit to washington, and i think this direction should continue to develop, because the americans also say that the ukrainian defense industry should demonstrate significant dynamics, including for account of interaction with western and american, european partners, so

we have three minutes left before the minute of silence, i have time to ask one question: the new york times this week published an article in which they claim that it seems that there are different plans for next year between kyiv and washington. washington insists that ukraine should switch to a conservative scenario, go on the defensive, kiev seems to insist that zelenskyy insists that we need to continue to advance, otherwise no one will believe that we will liberate the territory, this is partially confirmed, it seems to me that zelenskyy's speeches yesterday in the united states, how about that? indeed, it says that there is a conservative american scenario, there is a more active ukrainian scenario, which involves the introduction of hostilities both on the ground and at the expense of carrying out deep strikes on enemy territory, these concepts actually do not contradict each other, because even if we talk about the fact that the next year may be related to our active defense, as a key element the conduct of hostilities, because

we must now accumulate strength. for further actions on the front line, i think that in any case, statements about fortification, about the preparation of reserves, one way or another indicates that we will carry out measures of active defense offensive action , of course, is simply impossible now, given the fact that we need to accumulate the appropriate forces, weapons, ammunition stocks, and this is the origin of the concept of the american vision, the ukrainian vision, we do not yet know whether they are really at odds. exist, because there is no reference to any officials who say something specifically under their personal responsibility, but we understand that certain officials from the american army, in particular, the command of the us ground forces will be in europe will be responsible for coordination with ukraine, an american three-star general is being sent to kyiv, who will also be involved in coordinating these strategies, so i think that some time will be spent on forming

such... positions, but how will the situation on the battlefield, we we will see after some time. well, thank you very much, mr. sergey. serhiy zurets, military expert, director of the defense express company, was with us, they talked about the situation at the front, as well as some new products, including weapons, as well as what the scenario might be next year. the americans, let me remind you, believe that we, kyiv, ukraine, need to focus on defense until 2025, preserve means and people so that in the 25th year we can already make some other stories, in other words, the next year should be a year of conservation, for this they even send a whole general for us. dear friends, we are working for you and we still have several hours of the marathon ahead of us, we ask you to stay with us, next will be our colleagues from radio liberty, svoboda ranok, andriy and i will return to the air at 10:10 and continue to talk about the situation at the front and not only,

well, i will remind you that it is approaching. in the morning, all of ukraine remembers those ukrainians whose lives were cut short by russian aggression and remembers and honors them with a moment of silence. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
