did all the mail and processed it, and someone will now say: how can civilized latvians do this, no, they open it up, check it and put a sticker that is checked, i.e. this the open support of the sanctions policy is effective, and the most important thing is that they do not play with the currency ones, others, a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy volkov. is already joining our conversation, glory to ukraine, mr. serhiy, to the heroes, glory, mr. serhiy, how do you in general just endure this hell, we understand that day and night is a war, but just now, what is the weather like, how is everything in , how do you feel about all this, are you not cold, do you have enough winter equipment and at least, i don’t know, insoles that warm you, or something for your hands, i... for our viewers, i would just like to point out that this

is the avdiiv area, mr. serhii, he is in that area, please, thank you, thank you, everything is fine within the framework of the ekir, there are heaters, there are various facilities there, and for colder weather , various chemicals that are inserted there into the legs, into the hands, so everything is more or less good, well, the weather is actually warm. ugh, great, this is such pleasant news on saturday, but unpleasant, this is actually what the russian-fascist occupier is creating, now tell me what has changed in the last at least for several weeks, we can see that they have made small advances north of avdiyvka in the steppe area, they are climbing there , as far as i understand, they have taken a leap, and in the vodyana area, in the north, somewhere there, they are also so pressed. they have how much it

changes her situation for you now and how dangerous it is, well actually it's been a long time, you know? if you look at the deep state there, it more or less accurately outlines the map of the lbz, and it has been there for more than six months or more, the situation looks like this, a semi-encirclement, and there was a lot various historical appeals there, that everything is bad, and at the same time... russian propaganda there indicated that avdiivka had already been invaded and that the entire ring was already closed and everything there , that brigade left, that brigade left, we all smashed everyone, avdiivka is ours , in fact, then from october this year they began

active, powerful actions to capture avdiyivka, it’s all of us, well... someone is watching, someone is directly involved in the countermeasures, and we see, everyone sees the amount of equipment burned, and our videos from neighborhood, with dead occupiers, where they can't succeed, i'm a widow, like a bone in the throat, as for the steppe, they are really beautiful from there. the borivkas have already created such a hub, well, they have expanded their logistics , they are fixed there, they install various radio-electronic means in order for us, well , let's say, to make it difficult for us to operate

drones, and then they try to move with their infantry in the direction of the reeds there in order to cut us logistics. same story. along vodyanyi, along promtka, well , unfortunately, they are pressing, well, everyone knows the positions there, they have been there since the 14th year, but even concrete too, well, let’s say, not everything can withstand, so the situation is not easy, to put it mildly, but we are holding on and doing everything possible and impossible to stop them, mr. serhiy, regarding himself... and avdiivka herself , in what ways are they trying to get there? vitaly barabash writes that they actually changed their tactics a little and are trying to make their way to avdiyivka point by point, how does it look from your side?

well, they use aviation, unfortunately, we don't have, let's say, the means to destroy it, and that's why they have dominance in the story. and daily aviation events with their cabs, they they simply destroy the infrastructure of the city, and they try to enter on foot in the middle of, let's say, the old part of the city and from the side of the road , on foot and secure themselves in any positions, this is their tactic. their tactic is to establish themselves in at least any position, where we, let's say, preserve the personnel in order not to lose it, they don't care and they

just use manpower to establish themselves wherever they can, we are watching all this , we see where there is an opportunity to destroy. drones or artillery, and well that is, but all the same advantage in manpower, and they it, let's say, belongs to this living force, we all know how, and at this time we are protecting and trying to effectively use our ammunition to destroy them, that is, only on foot, and they are pulling the equipment away now. as far as possible so that we do not burn it, also what we see, most likely the next assault will begin in the coming days, they are repairing this equipment there, regrouping and so on,

i think that our holidays will be fun, unfortunately , unfortunately, this is not in the positive sense, mr. sergey, and yesterday we learned that on the front... where there were volunteers, where there were photographers, the russians actually fired at their car. vlada liberova, a photographer who records all these russian crimes together with her husband, suffered. but luckily nothing threatens her life, it happened a little further from avdiivka, novoselivka is the first in this vicinity, and we remember that this road to avdiivka is constantly shelled, accordingly it is very difficult to get there, to deliver anything, now in those conditions, how often photographers, correspondents dare to go to you, volunteers, all those who can bring certain important and very necessary things, well, in fact, there are fewer such people, and this is objectively correct, because there is a risk, and not always this

risk should be taken there, so they are chosen, as a rule there, or certain intervals of time, and days, when it is more or less possible to do it imperceptibly, but they shoot through everything and, well, they know all the logistics and try, as a rule, well, their... key task is to cut off any logistical ways delivery of any humanitarian aid to the city and transport of bc and all the rest, that's why it was clearly more convenient to do it earlier, that's why these two, let's say, conditional clichés, that's why they arose in order to close and well, it's rude. saying there are a couple of kilometers to put under fire control all the logistics and those roads there that can

help us, but nevertheless, as we can see, we manage, we manage, let's say, to launch people, and there are privates, there are also civilians in the city, that's why the city administration there also delivers what... feeds people and so on, but mr. marabach told us that delivery is more difficult directly into the hands, but there are enough supplies around the city to keep the otaku supporting the people, although there are not so many of them there anymore, i wanted to ask you about the partners of your brothers who are holding the line of defense to the south and north, because we see how do you hold the audio book, but we see, it's no longer a secret. it can be seen that the plan is this, they want to advance, to expand this gauntlet in

the direction of the route to the reeds, to the north, to the south, where there is no tylove, karlivka, they, too, are trying to advance as much as your brothers are willing to hold strike, so that this cauldron does not turn out to be larger in scope, or are there sufficient forces for containment? uh, well, as time shows, and some video materials, our brothers there are powerful, experienced, uh, we are in, well, that is, the entire defense interaction, well, let's say, in the audio direction, as a single mechanism, everyone supports one one, that is, if someone sees a need somewhere. then, let's say, ours are pouring in, or if we need help, then

our neighbors are pouring in, so with regard to the water there and they are advancing towards may day, it is very difficult for the russians there, very difficult, so, well, everything depends on the power of the forces they throw, but , well, they want to advance there and make the same hub on the water, roughly speaking, and... including the same as on krasnohorivka, but oh well , unfortunately, this is not possible, there are powerful guys, and the positions are held firmly , about the afternoon, while you were telling us, we were just showing fresh footage from mr. barabash, he just shot the audio in the very place, yes, they are in the very city, well unfortunately for her below. and they understand that the fighting is in the city it will be difficult for them, and they are trying

, roughly speaking, to destroy any infrastructure so that we cannot, let's say, hold on there, but the city is being destroyed, they are also destroying the factory, they also, roughly speaking, see a lot of things happening there , they also have forces and means of intelligence, and... but our motivation and our forces, well, let's say, counteract this quite a bit, thank you for your service, relay. to his brothers and sisters-in-law serhiy volkov, a serviceman of the armed forces, avdiivka was in our focus, well, i can imagine how it is will look like the nearest holidays and christmas in avdiivka, and how knowing that the moscow-fascist occupier has some simple weakness for certain dates, holidays and so on. we will now take a short break, after

which we will talk about the old reviewer. a special performance of the legendary dead rooster band with an orchestra at the lviv opera with the christmas and selected program. early lyrical songs, new christmas compositions and favorite super hits. tickets for the stage of the lviv opera on january 8 are available on the website of the big show ua organizer. information partners espresso tv channel and radio fm halychyna. live sound. every day,

difficult it is to hit such and such a thing and what it means for the russians to lose a hurricane, that is, how many of them there are, for example, when we watch such and such a video , we want to understand how precisely the work of the highmars changes the tactical setting, in particular in the kherson region. do i need to do this many, many more times? well , the battery is from four to six machines, here it can be four, it can be six, there it is depending on the composition, on the equipment, but this is such a battery , well, when we talk about a single battery, especially if it hits the left bank of the kherson region, and this is obviously the same bridgehead that we are currently defending, then it is very good news, because the less means hit this bridgehead, the more... we have to defend ourselves, because this bridgehead, it's like that, you know, it 's small in width, it's bounded by the dnipro river, and there, well, such a thin piece

of land, it can be thrown there with anything, as they say, both artillery and cabs, and this is with rockets, and press on it with a mass, which the opponents are doing now, so one battery less, this is a very good story, especially since the hurricane is quite... a powerful rocket system of salvo fire, it is weaker than a tornado, but it is more powerful than a mountain, that is, it is like this, you know, the average between this and the lowest point, as we say the game, yes, what we ask about which we all hear and know well , and the hardest tornado is 300 mm for each barrel, then it is 220, well, also very powerful, powerful mlrs, and what was destroyed is good, how many of them there are batteries are kept somewhere along the dnieper , are they starting? or from hyrlo, where they are shelling the city of kherson itself and all the way there to krynyk, that is, how can we estimate their efforts there, and then we will understand what this destruction means,

well, this is a difficult question, that is, how many batteries are they holding there in total now, i am not ready to tell you, but there was information that in front of the wells, in particular, two to three brigades of total strength were concentrated there. the forces of the russian federation, only when sold at the markets in the kherson region. it's fine if we let's look a little more globally, we see the main directions where they are trying to push through and are preparing new assaults, the russians, this is the lyman-kupyan direction there all the time, well, this direction on bakhmut has seriously strengthened, and well, avdiivka was just in our connection, they even told me that the daughter's holiday is also being prepared. assaults and the south also became seriously active from the coalfield to other areas, so how will our holidays look against the background of russian-fascist

activation? well, our holidays with you, the people who are now in the rear, they can to look, the foundation may be some sort of shelling, well, as it actually was on new year's eve last year on the 23rd year, do we remember? like a spring thunderstorm in the sky, although it was not a thunderstorm, it was the explosion of drones that were shot down at that time, at the front, the front will be the same as it is now, that is, the enemy will continue to press, in particular under the same audio, i i don't know what your speaker was talking about, but i can foresee that the pressure there will continue and it will be directed towards trying to complete the encirclement of the lake, which is now the enemy puts, puts accordingly. well, now he is attacking from the south and from the north in order to close the ring of encirclement in a large radius due to anti-tank weapons, he is not succeeding in this, but there is also pressure from the avdiiv line

, which according to unofficial data, i emphasize unofficial data, it is obvious now came under enemy control. we had a military officer directly from there, he confirmed the raid, the muscovites captured it, but in the north and in the south he says communication is very good, they are holding it with other parts. are restraining the advance to the north and south of avdiyivka, and there are there are some dangers that it will be possible to push through our defense line in some other areas of the front, that is, for this new year's aggravation that the occupiers are preparing, well, the danger is everywhere where they can push through our defense and where else they push it, here it must be recognized, on certain there are these advances in areas of the front, but they are still of a tactical nature, well , there they advanced 100 m, there they advanced 200 m. i can refer here to the data of british intelligence, in order not to be verbose, british intelligence claims that

there will be no significant operational breakthrough. uhu, that is, the armed forces of the russian federation are not capable of this at the moment, but these are tactical breakthroughs, unfortunately, they exist, which is why the enemy is now trying to outflank our defense due to their greater numbers. i think that your speaker zavdiivka confirmed that a lot of their meat is now moving there in the directions where he can say, plus there the enemy is trying to act in small groups in different areas. the front was used armored vehicles, well again a lot of aviation influence, a lot of artillery influence, that is, now they are trying to win some kind of victory somewhere at any cost, this is important to them, both from a moral and psychological point of view, and from a political point of view, and victory is such a thing that can be sold, yes, that is to say, we won, and now the russian federation, we have the initiative there, and for internal use, it can be, it can be useful for them.

mr. denys, they are still planning there, despite the fact that they are actually attacking along of the entire front, the entire front line, but in the approved plans, it is further the administrative borders of luhansk region, donetsk region, to strengthen where they are, whether these goals can become achievable in the next year for the russians, we remember the conclusions of various experts, when they said that that the 24th year will not bring not just the end of the war, but... some even significant successes for ukraine, and we certainly don't want to believe that. well, obviously, he may not bring an end to the war. as much as we can see the political, far-reaching plans of putin, wait for the arrival of trump on the office of the president of the united states. and then he expects, i mean putin, to hold negotiations with him in order for trump to hand over ukraine, to refuse support for our country. and then, according to the head of the kremlin, it will be easier for us to impose

conditions, uh, ... either politically or militarily, respectively, if the elections in the united states are at the end of next year, then we can make a certain prediction. regarding operational breakthroughs, both from one side and from the other, i wouldn't risk it now something, something to predict, since the russian army is currently attacking, i just referred to the data of military intelligence, british, they do not foresee operational breakthroughs, and the exit to the borders of the donetsk region will be an operational breakthrough. that is, we now perfectly understand that now, if the fighting is taking place near bakhmut or near avdiyivka, then there is a significant distance to the borders of the donetsk region, that is, it runs there in particular through such cities as sloviansk , kostantinivka, at the same time ivara, which is closer to bakhmut, well, i would not talk about that now would not predict anything in order not to get a finger in the sky, as they say, and from our side, since we are now on the defensive, and at the moment our main goal is to grind as

the biggest. we have literally one minute at the most, what we have, what is left for us, if the f16 appears in us before the new year, as they are now announcing that it changes, only tactical tasks, can it also change something strategically for us, strategically it is unlikely that they they will change something, since there is a small , small number there, 18, well, at first couples say, but somewhere when you when they will be used in some separate directions, well, we take the same audio book there, for example, not necessarily, or krynka, or krynka not necessarily, but for example, they can do good things there, let's say, ugh, well, actually, we hope that this information of the institute for the study of war will be confirmed in practice, and our armed forces will eventually receive modern support, albeit small, but from the f-16 in certain areas, thanks to denys popovych for analysis

of the situation, the military observer was together. with by us, what we were talking about, i will just remind you, it is about 18 planes, so in total the first ones should appear, this is this first particle, actually they were promised to us until the end of the 23rd year, and we are counting on it , although in fact a specific date was not announced. 9:00 is approaching, this is the time, the moment when we remember all the dead, civilian and military, at the hands of the russian occupiers, all those who abandoned the russian army. the ukrainian war. let's honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and civilians with a moment of silence of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
