the cities that are being shelled, and now one of the parts of this hell is the kupyan direction, the platoon commander of the 95th separate amphibious assault brigade of the poles stanislav krasnov is in touch with us, mr. stanislav, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, i wish you health, tell me what you have, what you see on your part of the front, i mean kupianskyi. every day we collect information there, and in fact, i don't know how many months, we pay attention all the time, this is theirs attacks from the direction of liman persho on senkivka, and the question arises that the ruins of senkivka are so important to them that they attack there all the time, the situation in our area is consistently tense, consistently difficult , indeed, every day there are attacks. and

infantry assaults, and sometimes they dilute them with assaults of armored vehicles, as was the currently quite popular video that 10 tanks arrived, only five left, what exactly are they interested in there, well, if you look at the map carefully, synkivka is essentially extreme the settlement, which is located in front of kupyansk, behind the height of the ruler is immediately visible from the sky, from which it is already visually visible. and in this way, if they take the galvanization, they will be able to stand at full height, place artillery and so on, and they will already cut it off, besides, the galvanization is at the extreme, so to speak , natural boundary, so yes, this is the video that i am showing now, it was precisely at senkivka that the armored vehicles were deployed, they tried to storm like that, so tsinkivka is at the extreme of such a natural border, you can see that there is a forest all around, because... rafts, rivers and so on

further, and accordingly , there is no longer such a natural border behind him, there are already steppes, fields, roads, it will be much easier to move, mr. commander, and how are they, what tactics are they using, is it something new, or are the same methods, just more and more and more people, well, the enemy should not be underestimated, they do not constantly use the same tactics, they act. used for several weeks in a row exclusively infantry assaults, i.e. 24/7 without any schedule, they tried to break through our positions with large, rather crowded infantry, carried huge losses, again accumulated infantry again, then they began to change their tactics, began to use, as you can see, armored vehicles, various types of artillery, aviation, began to regularly strike now with winged aerial bombs, controlled by them. er, the fab 500 that

leave just huge craters, also they started using some subversive groups there, for example, snaiter groups that try to creep up to our positions and destroy our military, that is, the tactics are always new, and expect them to repeat themselves it is not necessary, we are the opposite we are constantly waiting, well, we are ready for anything, and recently there were fresh prisoners in your direction. it is clear that even before they are handed over to the right hands, at least they find out who, where, what rank, where they served, who these people are, who is now fighting on that side, well, unfortunately, regarding the prisoners , i am not authorized to discuss, so in general terms i can say that in addition to regular military units, the so-called storm z is located here, this is what it is. wagner, it's just

that they are walking in the first line with the cannon meat, and also from those intelligence data of various, not only from'. them that they are driven forward to the slaughter, under the threat of physical destruction by their commanders, uh, do you detect any moods, how are the people you capture, or do they tell something about their brothers who were left there with the occupier, who were not captured, did not die, well... it is difficult to say, of course, because everyone there has their own opinion, their own mood, regarding the local residents, well , they support us by themselves, those who are captured there, or on full territories, it is clear that it is difficult for them, there is no connection with them, here our

military is positive, they believe in victory, well, in general, if there were not high moral qualities, stability and so on, i mean... i can't imagine how we could hold the line against clearly superior both quantitatively and technically, let's say, quantitatively also the enemy. tell me, please, one more thing, besides sinkivka, are there areas where they are trying to break through our defenses, where they are somehow attacking more actively, organizing more assaults, well, i can only process here is the summary of the general. headquarters , which i am interested in, and also, communicating with my comrades, from friendly battalions, that the same hot situation is in marinka and in the kremennaya area, where they are moving along the silver forestry, they are trying to move

towards the estuary in the torpskyi area, and so further, that is, in fact, this entire line from kupyansk and down to the south, it is opposite there, let's say. so the key points of big cities, it is all constantly under attack from the enemy, well, you already mentioned one of the directions there marinka, and just in the morning a video appeared, this is actually the territory of marinsk, there is novomykhaivka, it was just filmed by our, probably the military from a quadcopter, so that we could simply see the consequences, here it is, this is what novomykhaivka looks like, that's novomykhaivka... just let's explain, this is the mariyansk urban community, pokrovsky district, donetsk region, it is south of you, we are simply showing it so that people understand what remains as a result of all these hostilities, as in the areas where you are fighting, what

destruction there is , what are the results, and there will be something else suitable after the war for reconstruction, or will it just be geographical names? well, ours. where the contact line passes, this is roughly the case, and it is even worse, here you still have some remnants of houses, for example, the village of dolyna, where last year our brigade, thanks to a very great sacrifice, stopped the offensive of the invaders from the side of izyum to sloviansk and kramatorsk, that is, this valley and krasnopillya, they look even worse, there are not even a significant number of houses there, and when we arrive. now because of it village, i look there at the positions where we stood and so on, well, i don't see any people returning to that village at all, because there is simply not a single house left, i can't imagine at all when life will appear there again and when they start to rebuild something there, i would really like

to ask about the weather, a volunteer just showed us footage from a temporary ravine, there was a little thaw, then icy rain and everything was covered in ice, and this is in the south. from you, and how is your weather now, how much does it affect now on the possibility of conducting hostilities, holding the defense? well, the weather is the same here , just as you described, sometimes ice, then rain , then swamps, then frost, well, it is clear that both morally and physically, it is very difficult for the infantry at ground zero to be in the trenches, and besides, it is clear that the equipment, first of all bplas, which conduct observations, they, unfortunately, cannot fly in such weather, much. part of the time, so the intelligence relies on the same infantry that is on the front line to spot, hear, fix, repulse the attack, uh, well, unfortunately, well, such weather conditions negatively affect us, of course, but it is also not easy

for the occupiers, they live there in the same way, they live in even worse conditions, because the leadership does not think much of them there, and likewise, well... they can't conduct reconnaissance and can't adjust their artillery fire, which, unfortunately, is conducted on our positions without stopping at all, when the weather is so bad, then it... is less valuable, well, in relation to the occupiers, then what you told me can only cheer you up, because we can't say with roman, that we are very worried about their comfort, we are worried about you, about your unit, in general about all our military, and we really want you to have the opportunity to have at least some short such short christmas break, so that it would be a little easier, sir stanislav, thank you for your service, greetings to all the brave sisters who are in the landing... in the storm police brigade of the 95th separate holding one of the most difficult areas

of the front, well, that's it, but we can't tell you anything else, we're just collecting information for you , so that you see and hear everything and remember it when you sit down to the festive table, and don't forget that under our video you will find all the details and the qr code for your smartphone or just the card number where to put it, this is the minimum we can do for our defenders, who are fighting , not just living, but fighting in such conditions, while we are going on a break, until the pause will be given by you, after that we will return, the general of the army of ukraine mykola malomuzh will be with us, and we will try to summarize all that , what happens at the front stays with espresso. i flew was flying, a cough stopped me. cough is a symptom of a respiratory disease, so we treat it... we do inhalation instead. lordegial is an inhalant for cough. lordegial is a direct way to expel phlegm.

, we congratulate everyone who joined the espresso, join us with donations to our meeting, they are all the details on the video, and in the meantime we will join the conversation with the head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine from the 5th to the 10th year, general of the army of ukraine mykola malomuzh headed it. sir mykola, good morning, glory to ukraine. congratulations, glory to the heroes. we understand, mr. mykola, that this is also part of a large global military strategy, when the alleged signals from putin that he will return, especially through the new york times, are pouring in, but... maybe for the first time , we don’t know for sure, we don’t have confirmation yet, but he wants to to sit down at the transition table for a cease-fire no more, and in this case the fork comes out, on the one hand, the cease- fire, well, it is at least the cessation of casualties among the military and civilians, and on the other hand, not a fact, but on the other hand, we are warned that this is exactly what

the russian-fascist occupier needs in order to exhale, finally something with gerasimov... to think and reformat, accumulate, accumulate forces, people's equipment and strike again, well in this case, such inclusions, in addition to the informational component, how do you consider it as a special operation or as a real road map in this war? eh, well, first of all, we must clearly state that russia suffered colossal losses on the battlefield, primarily, well... economic, respectively even such informational ones, because after all the war works comprehensively, and the destruction of a huge number of the enemy, we are already talking about 353 00 today, and if in total since the beginning of the war it is 90% of the personnel of the army that attacked since february 24 last year,

because no matter who says that russia has immeasurable resources, knowing well the situation in russia, intelligence lines and in general, we say that this is a powerful undermining of the aggressive positions of the russian federation, and no matter how much putin brags about himself, yes say, press conferences, but the staff is just right of the russian army has been undermined, today it is forced to carry out both covert and unconcealed mobilization, to recruit different formats of private individuals and, of course , even foreigners from far, far away under contract. countries, this indicates that there is still a crisis in russia, if we look deeply in the military, technological, and economic spheres. putin really needs some kind of pause, and it is clear that he is trying to set up some kind of mechanism, like peace initiatives, that is, cynically, when the aggressor destroys the victim, but i suggest, let's do it anyway let's stop fighting and you'll stop

opposing me as well, but on the other hand, this is a multi-purpose task... not only to give pause to the fact that they have recovered and built up resources, which they adopted literally a week ago at the ministry of defense collegium, a new mobilization strategy, a new the involvement of the military industry, international , so to speak, resources that are still cooperating with them, this is iran, this is north korea, a number of other countries, in order to strengthen more powerful positions, and of course, to disorient our partners, especially those who are a little doubtful about something, even from the european one to the union, what russia wants us to do... that it seems to stop the war so that there are no victims, and at this moment, let's put pressure on ukraine regarding the negotiation process, but we emphasize why, on the terms of the russian federation, the occupation of our territories, the continuation according to all the repressions, even the electoral systems in the occupied territories, which is clearly contrary to international law and

even to the core of any actions of the enemy, the blame is directly placed where our citizens force them to vote for putin, well, about... simply absurd legally and even morally , that's why all the methodologies work for russian citizens, who conditionally i take tiredness in quotation marks, but many are already against the war, because their fellow citizens or family members die, 70%, even the head of the center gives what it wants, pro-russian and pro-putin, but that they have already stopped the war, this is also such a signal, theirs is such that we have many volunteers, we do not need mobilization, because in our country... here everyone is willing to go and these pseudo-army battalions, now they are forming donbas, donetsk , donetsk, and how much resource is there in those deep ones their about these, well, we will not use this word, but there are a huge number of people in mukhasransk, in whom the only prospect is to risk making money, than, well, in a

word, they will still mobilize, mobilize, and there are many willing ones, mr. mykola, on against the background of this one news, so that putin seems to be ready to negotiate and cease fire, another news appears, european and overseas intelligence reports that... 24th-25th year, in a year they will be ready to attack europe , in a period of probable such weakness of the united states of america, when will be after the presidential elections, maybe there will be no leader in the country yet, although there will be an army, there will be a leader of the army and everything else will be fine in them. is this some kind of informational campaign, or a throw-in, or should such words be taken seriously? well, first of all, it's true. is coming, this is a big information company , in addition to a hot war, this is an information war, a cyber war, these are three types of war today are practically equivalent, therefore the countries of europe and

nato, the european continent, they are prepared for the fact that russia can really carry out acts of aggression against the baltic states, against poland, against finland, that's why they are preparing, the right position is to evaluate the resources of russia, nato, prepare, show that the readiness of the upper class is orders of magnitude higher than that of russia. what can restrain russia, i know putin, what kind of environment, only to show the real power, the real capabilities of nato, and the most important thing is the borders, that there are no chances there, and the whole mechanism, even without the usa, will be engaged in such a way that russia will lose, and now regarding the reality of these forecasts, i will say frankly, no attacks on the countries of nato, the european union from the side there will be no russian federation, because putin is a burden in ukraine, he has huge losses here, huge. and on the verge of just a huge failure, and i think the 24th year will create the conditions together with our partners, and we will raise our pkk for the liberation of our territories,

to attack something else, i will say frankly, this is extremely difficult, very dangerous for putin, because the entire mechanism of nato countries is included, and this is orders of magnitude higher, economically, technologically, in a military format, even the creation of what you have established as the leningrad military district near finland, 1300 km. it a failed option, they will not actually create any district, they will legally declare it, they need to place at least half a million people there, where they will take them, what the mobs say, and no mobs are being recruited there, they say 600, they have recruited 147 thousand of these mobs who want to earn something, let's do something like that or fields, it doesn't work, more russians already understand that it's still hidden, it's there, russia is trying to hide it all very hard so that it doesn't work. outside and do not start internal processes, have already really felt the real war and real murders in families, that's why at the moment it's an extremely difficult situation

both for putin and internally, that's why he 's trying to cover up the confrontation with nato there and the like with victories, some prospects. the start of a war with any country in europe, and this is a nato country, is rather an accelerated end of the russian federation, of russian putin, in particular, he knows this directly, i think he will not take such steps, because it is like death to him. mr. general, you, actually, because you headed the foreign service intelligence, at one time, and now there is a military one, as far as we can get reliable information, when we know that cargo ships left from north korea, and before that there were trains, there were containers, we know that kim jong-un with his syllables in russian helps, something. the chinese drive, they pretend not to drive, well, this is their classic version. can we reliably receive information, understand which bc, which things will appear in a few weeks on

the russian-ukrainian front, or is it impossible to do now? i'm just clarifying mr. mykola, we work until 9:00 a.m. until the minute of silence, and please be brief, because i also have another question, we have our own intelligence capabilities, but even more intelligence capabilities of our partners, we have concluded an agreement on receiving information. which is the usa, so there is data about both north korea, and about controlling billions of different resources, including north korea, especially because the threat of iran, and about china, and many firms that supply russia with technology, now the confrontation will be systemic, uh, yes , mr. mykola, and as i said, i have a question regarding russian air defense, and not just air defense, our intelligence, the crimean steam. in fact, who also help ukrainian intelligence, revealed that there are up to a dozen complexes on the perimeter of tuzla island, as well as near the entrance

to kerch island. the bridge, which is constantly closed somewhere there for supposed training, which may indicate that they actively protect the bridge, well, with the bridge, we understand their pride and are very, very happy about it, we still have three minutes, first of all, that russia feels that these strategic objects under our fire control may be the closest sometimes. tuzla is, as it were, such a crossing point and symbolic, just to overlap. our strikes by drones , missiles, by placing air defense systems there, well, the kerch min is understandable, because it is a logistical hub, so to speak, a large hub that provides the entire front not only in the crimean direction, but also in the southern direction, so at the moment we know these objects , the objects are located on the territory of ukraine, why do i emphasize that this is exactly the case, we can hit both stroma shadow and scalps, foreign and domestic production, disorienting the enemy, the air defense system will not help, they are another target

for our strikes. during a strategic operation, we will systematically destroy these systems and other launchers and airfields on the territory of crimea, and this will be the prospect of liberating the peninsula. well, literally one minute, it's you according to your calculations , when its western partners will understand that they must provide more powerful, longer-range weapons in large quantities for ukraine, and that this war can only be stopped by withdrawing the infrastructure and shaking it up. point or mass strikes on the territory of the aggressor's country, when it may happen, it is the turn of three components - this is a new strategy of our armed forces, the command is preparing, the second component is a powerful support of what you said partners, and the third component of our pc, these are the three components that must ensure victory the 24th year, one day they will understand, i think that in the near future, when all these efforts and threats to europe and nato will be shown in reality, one

information war is being waged by russia. that they are threatening, but this causes exactly the opposition of nato countries, and they now think about themselves, because it will not only be an ordinary war, but perhaps a global nuclear one, and this specifically forces partners to provide weapons, and this must be conveyed powerfully, let putin talk about it, he is working against himself, we will work practically for to receive armed equipment and packages will be voted, fiercely, i think will be decisive for both financial and military aid to ukraine, and this is the prospect of spring and summer for our... free territory, well, but it is not the prospect of long-range taurus or other attacks in large numbers, but precisely in large numbers the question will arise, because the other format does not work, these are frozen conflicts, this is putin's option, but this strategy must be broken together with our allies, they already understand this militarily everything, the politicians will understand, i think the issue will be resolved, well, powerfully in our favor, huh, mr. mykola, there are still 30

seconds left, and these fortifications... whole tunnels and some cities in the south of our country are completely fortified, what are they doing now occupiers, indicates that they are are they preparing to retreat or not necessarily , but it doesn't show that and we have 30 seconds, mr. mykola, first of all, the russian federation evaluates really different scenarios, on the one hand , i think there will be an offensive, but on the other hand , i see that really what we we say , there will be real support, new... offensive operations, not traditional, not to the teeth, dragons, minefields, in those sectors where they really don't have it, but they assume that cities must be defended, you won't get cities this way , surrounding cities, no so to speak, their tunnels will not help, moreover, these are foreign cities, they are occupiers, they will die there, thank you, mr. mykola, on this optimistic note, we say goodbye, mykola malomuzh, general of the ukrainian army and in the past head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine, and

well, meanwhile, it is coming. i would like the whole country to traditionally have a moment of silence, as we saw in israel, when the whole nation stops for a minute. we will remember all those who died in this russian-ukrainian war. let's honor the memory of ukrainian military and civilians with a moment of silence of ukraine, who died in the war that was... unleashed by russia.
