when a person gets the wrong position to which he is responding, we have not had such cases, we have the opportunity to report any critical situation, then we have the opportunity to work hard with the help of the higher military leadership to resolve this issue and in the end a person can still be drafted to the place where he wanted to serve, but less so we instruct all commanders who contact us on how to properly organize the process of mobilization or signing a contract in such a way as to guarantee... everyone recruits that they will get where they want, and most of the military, they , who have been in our army for a long time, know how various mechanisms work, know better than us, we only accumulate this experience and spread it to newly created brigades to new people , who deal with personnel issues. i understand that you have a platform where people can turn to and choose one or another position, that is, in any case, this is a person who is already motivated to join the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine, understanding something or the story.

he will come anyway, i'd rather go myself, or with someone else reasons, and in your opinion, maybe this is your professional experience, how to motivate people today to find, look for positions and choose a place of service in the armed forces of ukraine, again, without waiting for whether there are any guarantees for these people, there the pay, the service time, or what you can or what these people are offered to motivate them, and please, i think it's better... the effort should be directed at removing the demotivation factor, there are certain aspects that stop people from daring to take a step to join your defense is still very much many people who are civilians are aware of the importance and the motivational part, yes, it is about our existential survival, about the defense of our state, our society, our freedom, so if we were to motivate, protect.

all values, of course, this is also important, but as of today, it seems to me that we need to work on improving, modernizing the army from the inside, and those or other gaps that existed even before the full-scale invasion, we, i remind you, are fighting with the army , which considered itself at least the second army in the world by force, and during a full-scale war, well , of course, to solve all problems. which were there and accumulated before the invasion, it is difficult, so we still need to work on solving these problems, and then there will be fewer demotivating factors and more people will want to join the army, well, for people who may be interested and want to join, what is the logic of the actions here, people turn to the site, you them, they still have to go to the tetska, go through the lc, if they have not yet come to this, or should these already be people who... came to the military medical center

commission, and then they are already looking for a place of service. these may be civilians who have never received a summons, they may be civilians who have received a summons and now the vlk will start the process there, or the tsc will come. then, it can also be military personnel who want to transfer, we have a separate section on our website, a filter for vacancies that are exclusively considered. active military, the next step is yes, well, go to our website, choose the specialty you want, choose the unit you want, respond, send your resume or write about your experience, leave your contacts, and the person immediately receives a letter the next day that his candidacy has been taken into consideration, wait for a communication from the military directly, who will already be engaged in further selection and support formalization, such...

the next step all happens depending on what a person chooses for formalization, whether it is signing a contract or mobilization, that is , accordingly, either the contract or the mobilization process will be drawn up, and the military accompanies at all these stages of all recruits. thank you very much for your work, especially yours, thank you for your comments. vladyslav grezev, head of lobby x, a company engaged in recruiting for the armed forces of ukraine, this is not an easy issue, the military writes about it, but everything must be done correctly, the most important thing is that it should be. gave an effective result in the struggle , in the struggle with the enemy, and now we will talk in more detail about the situation at the front, there are many questions, many topics, serhiy zgurets will discuss them all in detail with his guests, serhiy, congratulations, congratulations, vasyl, congratulations of our viewers, and i will ask the following question, the commander of the operational and strategic management of tavria troops, general ternavskyi said that certain operations have to be canceled due to the lack of ammunition, especially of the post-soviet type.

what is it about, how serious is this problem today and again operations can be of different scales? well , today ternavskyi's statement was heard, he says that we are redistributing soviet shells there. who is produced in order to ensure, well, the situation more or less enough on the front line , but there is a lack of this ammunition, and this is such, well, such an alarm bell, and today, in addition to ternavskyi's statement, the statement of deputy minister of defense gavrylyuk was heard, who said that next year we plan to ensure the production of more drones there in order to compensate for the lack of shells, and the armed forces expect to receive ukrainian ammunition next year as well. with a caliber of 155 mm in order, well, relatively speaking, to compensate for the difference between what is needed on the battlefield and what our westerners can give us partners the average monthly requirement of the ukrainian army is within 200,000 munitions of 155 mm caliber. and then we will talk in our

military column about what is happening around avdiyivka with details from our military who are participating in hostilities in this area, and about what... what does this active strategic defense mean, which actually armed forces on the battlefield are crossing, more on that in a moment. i will start by saying that along the entire front line, the avdiyivka section remains the most difficult and hot, if we consider for these two months, after the enemy intensified the hostilities. actions in this area with offensive actions, then during this period the enemy suffered here, well, probably the biggest losses compared to other directions, in particular even with the same vogledar last winter, and the destruction of at least 200 samples of armored vehicles

of various purposes was verified there, losses of personnel enemy forces are now more than 1,300 enemy soldiers, but the impression is that russia's offensive on... the number of losses for the enemy did not matter, and the tactics and logic of the enemy's actions around avdivka somewhat resemble the situation around bakhmut, when it came to flank encirclements, with an effort to advance from the north and from the south in order to get behind our troops and cut off the supply routes. now the enemy is also trying to press avdiivka from the north, from the south and... areas, one of the directions is precisely the northern flank of avdiivka from the tipis, which has already been completely destroyed, the enemy here is trying to cross the railway and also is trying to expand the zone around the steppe and make its way further to orlivka. now the steppe

is protected by our 47th separate mechanized brigade. there are many videos of how the fighters of this brigade using both bradley and... attacks in defense and in counterattacks repulse the enemy's offensive, and now in more detail what is happening on this part of the front, we will talk with our guest, dmytro lazutkin joins us, this head of the public relations service of the 47th, 47th separate mechanized brigade of magura, which is currently defending avdiivka, mr. dmitry, i welcome you to the express channel, i am glad to see and hear, my congratulations, here is a request for more. to tell in detail what is happening now, because relatively speaking, there were attacks by armored vehicles, there were attacks by manpower, literally yesterday there were new enemy attacks on your site, you destroyed a certain amount of armored vehicles there, as today compared to

yesterday, what is happening, how are the actions of the enemy changing? indeed, yesterday there were active attacks with the use of armored vehicles, including that we destroyed... two tanks, fighters of our units, as well as four, four armored vehicles, one tank was destroyed by a bradley, another artillery, there and then a fivi drone flew into one of the tanks, that is , our servicemen worked quite effectively yesterday, now the situation is also tense, but in the evening they gathered forces again, gathered again armored vehicles in order to carry out a fairly powerful attack, well , we are waiting, waiting in... we are watching, we know where they will advance from, at the same time, the constant waves of attacks by small groups do not stop, literally now, three by one, by four, six people at a time, they try to attack, they try to detect it in this way

, including our fire lines and points, often near the steppe, the contact is quite close, there are, in principle, positions that... are located from each other there, literally there up to 100 m at a distance, well, they move across the railway and often work hard from there with tanks, and then the technicians come. with infantry, it is actually very , very difficult, now i would like more, more shells, more equipment, because the enemy is being destroyed at a huge rate, close there are four brigades standing in front of us , there are really many of them, and they, they are approaching, do not spare their own, because their losses, compared to ours, are seven or eight times more, in terms of manpower, in terms of equipment, 10 times, that is this is very serious. numbers, but to say that something is stopping them is probably not, that is why

the situation is quite tense, and they do not stop trying to surround the audio store, cut off our logistics. mr. dmitry, what is happening with the fortifications, because, so to speak, there are different estimates that, relatively speaking, those lines of buildings, which existed before the start of the active phase of the event, have already been destroyed due to the fact that artillery from both sides actually struck these fortifications. there were reports that the enemy was advancing and immediately dug in, but what about our side, are there any opportunities to engage in these measures now, or is it rather a little distant prospect? well, first of all, not everything has been destroyed, the same coke chemical plant, it remains a very powerful concreted such an area, which the enemy will definitely not take, unless they somehow try to surround it, i think that they have this in their plans, our servicemen do not allow... this to be done, but at the same time, really, well, koksochim is so simple,

they tried and passed the drug there, and the equipment was literally fit under the fence of the psychiatric plant, but so far there is no result, except the fact that some servicemen from the russian army went, i hope, to the worst of the worlds, well, if we talk about fortifications, then the second and third lines of defense are built in this way. i can't say exactly where, in what way, but with my own eyes i saw it, drove by, and i understand that the process is going on, there may be questions about the length, depth, materials used, well, but this is a little bit, not the competence of the brigade, which is directly on the front line now holding the defense, that is, they are engaged in this, i know for sure , who are engaged in this, but regarding the quality, regarding the length, again, of these structures and these trenches, i cannot say anything yet,

but the process is going on. mr. dmitry, you mentioned in passing that more ammunition is needed, and what about fpv drones, because just like that, well, i heard that more, more is needed, just in the area where your brigade is currently holding the defense, how is it really, what is the need and what is the reality. much needed because now the war has become high-tech, the enemy is also adding in numbers in this component, our attack drone company is extremely effective, accurate, but again, i 'm sure they wouldn't mind more drones because their consumption is quite large, especially when the enemy is approaching with large forces, and we observe this practically systematically well, about the shells, i will also say that the gunners also need shells to stop the invaders, and

now we are in a situation where we have to hold this line of defense, and in order to hold it, we have to destroy as effectively as possible more those who try to cross it from the other side. mr. dmitry, what is happening with the replenishment of your brigade, do the people who come have the appropriate experience. is it now possible to replenish personnel in the process of these active hostilities? replenishment occurs, but again, combat experience , you can't replace it with anything, people who come only after passing education, after passing training, it is clear that it is very difficult for them to find themselves in the conditions that exist now, almost hellish conditions, maybe these are the most terrible combat operations . which, in principle, humanity has seen in the 21st century, that is, there is no exaggeration here, because from

such a war, when you are being watched, you are attacked from the sky and from the ground, and aviation, and artillery, and drones are working, and manpower is constantly approaching, well i think that you can't find many analogues, maybe there aren't any at all, in fact , that's why someone who has the character... motivation and is accordingly ready for the challenges that are there can adapt, and let's not forget that now it's winter and the temperature is too it often drops below zero, plus high humidity, plus fluctuating temperatures. now we have a plus again, which means that on the one hand, the movement of heavy equipment will be difficult, on the other hand, low clouds, fog, thick, just very, very like, you know, milk, and here the work of drones is already difficult in its own right queue because, well, they don't see much, but

the responsibility still falls on those people who hold positions directly on the battle line. convergence there were several videos where your brigade actively carried out counterattacks, when the enemy was trying to advance along the railway, there and pressured our territorial defense brigade, and your brigade just, well, cut off the enemy's offensive using the bradley infantry fighting vehicle. please tell us how the foreign equipment is now showing itself in the hands of our military, what are the advantages compared to those samples that now the enemy is trying to, well, use it to... attack our positions? and there can be no comparisons, i think that many who monitor videos from the battlefield on the internet saw how bradley destroys literally three or four bmps there, yesterday bradley did a good job on a tank, so bradley is a really high-quality weapon , which helps

, among other things, save the lives of the crew, but mainly now, if unlike the zaporizhzhia direction, where bradleys were often used... they still longed for it to be a taxi for infantry, for offensive actions, then now they practice in defense, they maneuver, the enemy is afraid of bradleys, when bradleys go into position, they are really, really high-quality, good weapons, but again, we could have about 30-40 of them, i think, it wouldn't hurt. the mechanics, drivers, and gunners work skillfully and are already experienced, already know the equipment very well, opana. it has been around for a long time, we have experience , let’s hope that bradley will continue to terrorize the invaders, because now we are observing such a situation, it really is a weapon of a completely different type, if compared with soviet models, and here again there is not a single such unnecessary pathos,

so it is, but again, the intensity of the battles is huge, so any equipment now... and wears out including it and needs a kit, that is, it is not a difficult situation at all, however, thanks to both skill and thanks to the ingenuity of our servicemen in some places, the line is holding, and we do not see significant movements, the enemy has been there for quite a long time, if there are any, then it is about 100, 200, 300 meters, maybe, and these positions are usually repulsed, and the village of steve is now ee ... our and audiiyskyi the kosochemical plant and berdichi, but the onslaught of the enemy continues, it does not subside, the reserves are approaching, and moreover, they are climbing rather brazenly, we noticed, the prisoners themselves tell that they are treated there without ceremony, that is, there is something called such detachments play, so conditional

, that is, it happens that those who do not want to go forward pay with their lives, that is, they do not even sometimes have options, that is, either go forward and die, or retreat and die at the hands of the kadyrivians. mr. dmytro, thank you very much for inclusion, for what you and your comrades are doing for the defense of our state, i will remind our viewers that it was dmytro lazutkin, the head of the public relations service of the 47th separate mechanized brigade of magura, which is currently defending avdiivka. and then about other aspects that take place on the front line. and we will talk about the events surrounding the war with viktor kyvlyuk, a reserve colonel and an expert at the center for defense strategies. let me remind you that today such a publication was published in the influential edition of the economist, which is devoted to problems and difficulties of ukrainian mobilization, this article

states that the ministry of defense has started work on mobilization, on a new strategy, and on the other hand, it is emphasized that the publications. the authorities of ukraine are only pretending to mobilize, and now mr. viktor is joining us. mr. viktor, i congratulate you, i am glad to see and hear you. good evening, mr. sergey. so i started with a publication in economist, where, by the way, there is a link to you, and where you comment on the situation with mobilization, and where you talk about the fact that ukraine is actually at risk of falling into a trap with mobilization, what is the trap of mobilization and what decision should be made. so as not to fall into this trap? we continue to imagine mobilization as a process of staffing the armed forces, what does it do? territorial recruitment centers, this process is generally the usual recruiting, and the second half

of the mobilization process is the transfer of state authorities, the national economy to functioning in wartime conditions, i personally do not observe this, and thus sooner or later we will come to that the moment, god forbid, but it may come when we will have... manned armed forces that have no rear, no support, because the capabilities of our allies are gradually being exhausted, the pace and volume of assistance is decreasing, and accordingly, given the fact that that in about 25 countries elections should be expected next year, the question of providing aid to ukraine looks very debatable, and purely in terms of resources the adversary on... very powerfully prevails, even if he will use only the old park equipment samples of the last century, all the same, it has

such reserves many times, and in some positions even tens of times more than ours, so i think that it is time to pay attention to the transfer of the national economy to military rails, all the economic opportunities that can.. . be involved in the interests of providing the defense forces, must be involved, and at a very good pace, well then i will ask what should be done then, so as not to lose the lost time, because relatively speaking, in one of your publications, when you do an analysis of the following year, you are talking about the fact that ukraine will spend the next year in the trenches of active defense. and this mobile defense will cover much wider territories than we imagine, and which one way or another, well, there is a risk that they will be

devastated, so what should we prepare for when we talk about active defense, which actually, well, our military leadership, now you have confused everyone, there is a difference between active defense and mobile defense, the armed forces... are not ready to conduct mobile defense on an operational scale, so this way can be, this way of conducting defense can be applied exclusively in certain tactical areas, and this is how tactical units and operational groups can act, unfortunately, they are not trained for this, they do not have such opportunities, so it is correct to talk about active positional defense, this is discussed in the interview bbc. everyone, for example, said general muzhenko, the former commander-in-chief of the armed forces, that is, in advance, it is necessary to start preparing defensive lines, at least in

those directions where the enemy, through his kirmanych, recently announced as his the nearest operational task is the acquisition of the administrative borders of luhansk and donetsk. oblasts and the exit to the kharkiv region on the banks of the ostiv river. accordingly, we must prepare for the maintenance of these territories, and it should be done now. and when we talk about other steps related, if you mentioned mozhenko, to the reformation of the front line, the training of reserves, to improve the quality of the training of management personnel, what and when should we do this? all processes must be developed in parallel, because solving such tasks consistently, we will constantly lose to the prakovnika in

one of the components. as for the optimization of the management system, yes, the troops have been conducting defensive operations in several directions for a very long time, units were introduced into the operation, withdrawn one by one. all this brings a certain management chaos, which should be put to an end, in terms of optimizing the front line, so here is a good tactical example, our combat operations in the area of ​​​​the city of solidar, we withdrew to the commanding heights, where we prepared defensive positions in advance, and probably for six months we have not heard that the enemy tried to do something in the solidar area, just like that... i think that the general staff has conducted such an analysis and clarified its conclusions many times, they know exactly where such a line should be, we got political.

last week's signal that this should be done, and the appropriate resources in this process will already be involved, therefore, as recommended by general mozhenka, we will have at advantageous, purely from a topographical point of view , border positions, comprehensively prepared and equipped in from an engineering point of view, moscowed , properly fortified, minya field is no worse than the enemy arranged in the zaporizhzhia direction, and accordingly, the units, in case of critical need, should retreat there, already organized, clearly understanding who controls whom, who interacts with whom, and in this way preserve the advantage in management that we currently receive, the other day i got acquainted with an interesting material in

which the enemy in the... bridgehead on the left bank, has a very significant advantage in decision-making, from target detection to its destruction, we spend from several tens of seconds to several minutes, for the enemy, the same action takes several tens of minutes, having such a level of control is expensive. worth well, when you already mentioned the left bank of the dnieper, you concluded that the bridge on the left bank of the kherson region opens up great opportunities that should not be forgotten, so what is your conclusion about? in my opinion, the two largest such operatives achievement on the left bank is an opportunity to push the enemy's artillery as far as possible

from... the city of kherson and settlements close to the right bank of the dnipro river. and secondly, we have to prepare, after all, for coffee in yalta, as mr. budanov invited us, and the kherson region is the key to the isthmus, and sooner or later, we will come to the need to enter the crimea, and kherson is precisely for this and profitable territory, here are these two nuances for us personally. for me, they look quite optimistic, and then you can't ask about your assessments regarding the prospects of foreign aid, which will in one way or another affect the planning of our defensive or offensive actions, how do you see the prospects in the actions of our partners, can we really expect the unlocking of these aspects related to financial aid, what are your expectations and vision? i think not. nothing on

aid issues is blocked, there are certain internal contradictions that are purely in the political plane, the conflicting parties in different countries are trying to solve in their own way, it is not a question of stopping support ukraine is at war, because the west has invested colossal resources in our victory, and to make one bad decision to erase all that, well , i... i hope that afghanistan, at least the united states, has learned how a military operation that ends suddenly without any reason ends. as for prospects, a lot of informational spam is brought into this process by russian units of information warfare. to sow disbelief, to instill the idea that the west will abandon ukraine, that we will be left without

resources, no one there will... help, this unequivocally informational hostile influence , first of all, on ukrainian society in order to sow despair in our victory. the west understands this very well, there are enough specialists in information warfare, and correct, correct conclusions about the situation in the information field are conveyed to the military and political leadership of the western countries, but there is another problem, which in my opinion... looks the most dangerous, on today, ukraine has not offered a clear strategy for winning the war, and it is precisely the lack of this strategy that prevents the intervention to take steps to assist in the realization of certain supplies at such a rate and in such volumes that would...
