mr. yevgeny, where are you, what news do you have? ah, nothing has changed, we have been with our unit since february we are in the horlivsky direction , from the positive news, i think i will not reveal anything new for you, you have already heard about the establishment of control over one of the terekons, these are henchmen, our fellow units, which are also in the horlivsky direction, and in order to ... how important this story is, i will tell you that it was from this terekon that the enemy deployed weapons, namely anti-tank guided missiles, with which they tried to cut off logistics and made it difficult not only for us to deliver bk there and to leave the positions, they fired at all the cars that were moving , in settlements that are behind us , so you understand, there are about 800 thousand civilian people, that is, they shot everywhere at civilian cars and at cars that were trying to... deliver products, that is why this terekon and every height is for us to take control is very important, because it is an opportunity

to cut off the enemy's logistics now. nevertheless, they also report that the russians have certain advances, in particular near bakhmut and avdiivka, the institute of war research, that is, the enemy is advancing, and you you know, i can only confirm from this that the activity of the enemy has definitely increased, there is no shortage of ubk in... there is constant shelling, and in the last two weeks the density of shelling has increased, even compared to, er, what was the density during the first assaults on avdiyivka, it is in our direction that we see an increase in the number of personnel at the positions, but i cannot tell you about any assault actions, as far as there is a little below bakhmut, there is not even an opportunity to communicate with anyone there, but we are communicating via direction, i am currently building attack unmanned aerial vehicles and we have operational communication with colleagues from avdiivka. who are engaged in the same kamikaze drones and i will tell you that the dynamics there are crazy with regard to the audio system,

so to say that the enemy has an advance somewhere, our guys have an advance somewhere, the enemy has an advance, and you need to understand that the same position can move four times in a day sometimes from hand to hand here and there, but of course the situation is very critical at avdiyivka, there we are in constant contact with the boys once a day and under it is critical for the stop and for the audio, but critical does not mean that it will break through there tomorrow, because you all heard how the mass media heated up the situation regarding the fact that the audio should be taken there for the press conference, putler, whether there is a steppe or an environment or something else the situation there is really critical, but the guys are doing everything they can to hold the settlement and destroy as many enemies as possible during offensive actions. and what is in marinka, maybe then you can also tell if there is anything left there, because russians are there from time to time flags are being raised somewhere, then raised there, then raised there. look, it is difficult for me to tell you about maryanka from the first university, i will only tell you what i monitor myself, i think for myself,

you understand, maryanka, she is, since the 14th year , there have never been fights there, just like on avdiivska promka , and in relation to what the deep state is currently drawing, no critical changes in the borders have taken place there, and when the enemy declares the capture of such places as marinka, i apologize, declares the capture of such places as marinka, it is necessary understand that they... declare the capture of a certain territory, that is, it is not captured , let's say a city, it is destroyed in a shanty pumped shot, you understand, bricks and... desert, that is, they capture not the city, they capture the territory, and maryanka in such there was a desert, it was overturned half a year ago, so it can be said that they have something critically important there, they walked there for some half a kilometer or kilometers, well, no, neither from the dibstate nor from the unrolling with the anti-pommy , it was destroyed, they declared that captured the territory, everything we can about to tell maryanka, everyone is discussing

, including the same institute for the study of war, in these maps printed by bilt, about the fact that it seems that the russians are going to fight for another 30... six months, at least, and lose 100 thousand each, every year their military, so that this is the price they are willing to pay, provided that they can eventually reach the dnipro from below, well, if only from the south, from the east, and also capture it completely, including donbas. eh, well, you know, i'll allow myself this, maybe not a very correct expression, i think getting rich, they were going to seize everything. to demilitarize the country and kyiv and de-nazification, and what we see from the conclusion is that they spend nine months and 100,000 lives each not in order to mourn them in a year, in a year to use these lives to seize something, but use them for 9 months, 1000 lives, in order to capture the city of bakhmut and once again return not the city, but the territory that they destroyed, just simply

a certain territory, a certain desert of concrete, so all their dreams there about capturing donbass and... luhansk region, i don't think what are they come true, yes, yes, it is necessary to admit that they have enough human resources , oil products are purchased from them in the world, dollars are running to them, it is true, their military industry is working, it is also true, they have no problems with bc, but they do not succeed they do everything so quickly and everything as they would like, i will tell you, exactly in our direction, that is, to the tactics to which they are sold, i think, such a story is everywhere, they throw the personnel, the personnel was destroyed, there at assaults on the audio store for a real number, they understand that there are losses that need a little replenish, tighten a little. equipment, we begin to destroy equipment with kamikaze drones, and this is the story, that is, yes, they take some meters, but at what cost, today all the equipment that stood at a depth of 10 km is destroyed, tomorrow all units that entered there in a straight line will be destroyed storming storming actions, i think i already told you that i was on duty, when i could see from mavik the reconnaissance area, where

the clearing of the ground could not be seen through the corpses of the enemy, so i am telling you at what cost and at what speed for 36 months. they have been fighting for two years, and where is their passion, i say, destroyed the scientist bakhmut, destroyed, destroyed, now avdiivka is being erased from the face of the earth, well, at what price, how much are they, how much more will they be willing to pay such a price, and well, for that , in order to dispel negative narratives a little bit, of course, let's go back to the fact that the military industry is working, of course they have more quantitative composition, but let's remember the beginning of the war, no one gave us a chance at all then, well, none the less, if there is a war.. .to continue really for another two or three years, what this means, in particular for us and for you, in particular, people who have already been fighting for the second two years almost, you know, i will tell you personally for myself and for my brothers, with whom we periodically actively have conversations on this topic, this is a very demotivating thing, because when you start

to look like far, you find a lot of things for yourself, firstly, you set a lot of expectations that do not come true, secondly , you find for yourself... already a lot of some demotivating things, and you come to what, to the point that you stand in for something on duty and you don't have any there at all a creative gap to use or invent something new there in the same uav, so it is better not to think about these things, to do what we can do, i say, it calms me, me and my brothers personally, because not so long ago there was a conversation exactly on this topic , only one thing reassures me: at the beginning of the war we were given no chance at all, today our situation is better than at the beginning of the war, therefore... fight and liberate our land from the enemy , now what, what, what else people at the front, let's say, upsets, and what, on the contrary, gives strength? i i think you, as journalists who have the opportunity

to talk to the military every morning or every day several times a day, are a little frustrated the same way that we are, because you know what we're seeing here? i would not like to give this thesis there, so that the enemy would take it out of context and use it, that everything is critical here, but we are ending little by little, the war is not an oil extraction operation, where 100 people were sent, 98 returned, because two died due to accidents, war is a story where there are losses from the other side as well, for today that does not motivate, no i don't want to offend anyone, but there is a clear feeling that civil society has separated from the military, separated not in the sense that they forgot about them at all, but separated in the sense that somewhere there is an abstract zsu that is fighting, there are a million of them, there are enough, no , we have losses, we need to be replenished , and there is a clear feeling that no one wants to go to fight, and i would emphasize some things that if we finish here, this front will fail, then tomorrow you are there, those who do not wanted and that... you will get the same thing that we have in donbas throughout the country. therefore, i would reconsider these things a little and for myself i would emphasize the history of recruiting and i would understand that there is no need to be so afraid of it. if you

put in a pixel tomorrow, it does not mean that you are in a trench with the enemy one on one 100 m there with a machine gun facing each other. there are a lot of professions in the army, so it is upsetting how, with what speed, with what mood the people perceive mobilization, it is very upsetting, because we are all the same here as the people who are now on more... less peaceful territories, we also have children, we also have families, we were also civil, we also had some offices, warmth and jobs before that, but today there is no greater challenge than defending the state, so i say, more the most upsetting thing is that we see the pace of mobilization, we see the pace at which we are, let's say, filled like this, mr. yevgeny, we as journalists, who have been working in marathon mode for the second year and talking about the war and maybe we would like to separate ourselves from it somehow. .. news that is available in the country, but we are not allowed our, our profession and duty, ultimately to the country, we also notice that people are trying to move away, as one woman told us in

the store, well, i watched you there a little, well, i didn't turn on the news in the evening, or i can't watch it, then later i can't sleep, or when we start talking and they ask us something, and then they hear that we are saying some such, you know, not very optimistic things, but such realistic things, then they say, well, everything is fine, fine, fine. so what's there and switches to another topic, but why do you think people have na your opinion, what you notice, that there is this distancing, why did it appear? listen, well, you and i, in order to reveal this issue as much as possible, right now we will delve into some deep psychology, this conversation can take a maximum of time, but the most annoying thing is that, well, a person is arranged this way, there are some basic points from the point of view of security, when security and moments are closed to you personally, well, for you , this is already... not such a priority issue, and security issues in most parts of the country were closed when the war moved again, as it once did in 14

specific geography, that is, let's recall the beginning of the war, back in april no one understood where the russian army would stop, no one understood there in march, when the battles for augustom were going on, whether kyiv would be captured or not, the whole country was also worried, everyone was worried about the fact that the enemy may be here tomorrow , well tell me, please, today an average resident of, for example, vinnytsia... is very worried that the russians will come to him tomorrow, of course not very much, that's why i say, security issues have moved a little to second plan, and you know, these are the things, you say what someone there says that he doesn't really want to watch the news, because it's hard to fall asleep, well, let them think a little about the fact that those about whom it is difficult for them to watch the news, it's a little harder for them to fall asleep because of the fact that mines are exploding nearby, it's flowing here, it is freezing, we are biting our fingers and the enemy at 150 m does not let up his vigilance, so let him think a little about where... where, how hard it is to fall asleep, and that we live in the same country, and we are no worse than those who are now in more peaceful territories, and it could not have created such an effect, what originally people

they talked about the fact that everything will be fine, and very soon a counteroffensive will take place and the muscovites will be knocked out, listen, it’s for sure, you say, i’ll confirm, it’s definitely a story of false expectations, but let’s be honest, well, a person who has self-awareness, well all the expectations we create for ourselves, and when they are not true. we also have to work on our own depression from the fact that they really did it themselves, this is the first thing, if we talk about self-awareness, about personal thoughts and so on, but i would not be here either left, the catch is that the enemy is also conducting a very serious information campaign, because today, if you ask the average person, i am there sometimes, there is an opportunity there, you go on a business trip there to the dnipro, a bunch of men, a bunch, who are healthy, strong, who could defend ... the state, but when you start talking to someone, you abstract yourself from this about what and for whom you are fighting there, and look at the corruption, and look at the fact that the west does not want

to help us, and all these narratives for casts and warms the enemy in the information space, and they have a very serious effect on the people sitting there, and seriously, i am now hearing from the guys who supported and donated a year ago constantly, but they are civil today, i seriously hear from them, maybe enough, maybe who are you standing for there, but listen to what is happening here. well , our internal problems do not appear, even if they are there and they are 50% of what the enemy pours on us, well, we will solve them when we defend our subjectivity, as a state, for today front, to fight there both inside and outside, i believe that anyone who calls to fight inside is an enemy no less than an enemy who attacks us from the outside from the outside, i say, and people try to justify themselves in this way, we are so deeply you talked about something that is upsetting to date, but still, listen, it's upsetting when you talk to someone, really. you wake up, you see your brothers for yourself, you see that every day they work, solder, invent something new, right here at the front, come up with how to bypass the super cool enemy rebs, you think,

listen, well, that's your personal responsibility. whether you want to fight there or not, we are here doing what we have to do, mr. yevgeny, thank you, thank you for the honest conversation, we hope it will have some effect on those people who want to close their eyes and pretend it's war is no longer there, or she is somewhere far away, and we are here somewhere, yevhen and yevlia , a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us, we are now going for a short break, then come back and look, just me i will add one thing, if not...

to veter and continue our marathon, we hope that after yevgeny and yuliyev spoke to us in veter, you did not turn off our channel, not coping with the truth, but i don't know, i don't i know, i didn't hear anything, no, wait, i wanted to continue, on the contrary, keep watching espresso, continue donating, donating to e , now to powerful e. panels from which will help our military in field conditions to recharge their military equipment, which will destroy moskal, and thus show that the audience of espresso is not at all the same as some ukrainians, who try to dismiss the fact that we are at war. espresso audience.
