another people's deputy fled from ukraine. this happened three weeks after volodymyr zelenskyy ordered to deal with illegal border crossing. what could have gone wrong? we will talk about this in the second part of svoboda live, well, in the first part we talk about the fronts. the one in the kursk region of russia, and the one in donbas. my name is vlasta lazur. good evening. well... to begin with, take a look at what is happening these days in the pokrovsk direction of the front, this is an exclusive material from our colleagues, journalists of the nastoyastchee vremya tv channel. we really had to die there and, let's say, all the factors came together, and we are talking to you now. a russian fpv drone recently got into this car - recalls the deputy commander of the artillery division andriy karadakh of the 15th brigade of the national guard. then only a pick-up truck was affected in...

good afternoon, present time, very nice, this secure basement was given to the nastguards by local residents who left here, very few locals, one or two men can be met on the road, or etc., everyone who understands, what is happening, they have already left, i hope they will return someday. the russian military is trying to attack selidove from mykhailivka, moving in small infantry groups. ukrainian defenders see everything. from the sky, the march is very hostile a lot, that is why we work sortie after sortie, sortie after sortie, we manage to stop the enemy a little, he slows down a little, specifically in our direction, there is absolutely no chance to go head-on, that is, they have no roads to pass by vehicles, because they blew up the bridge themselves, they are trying to attack with small infantry groups according to the principle of accumulation at certain points, they cannot accumulate there, so that the enemy does not accumulate forces for an assault and slaughter. heavy artillery. this

russian 152-caliber howitzer was captured by the ukrainian army two years ago during kharkiv counteroffensive. former owners from the russian army called her violetta. the main thing is that it is now in commanding hands, a very cool gun, the barrel was measured, the experts said that it will still work and work, let them give more shells, and it will perform its functions, after work , the fighters, as usual, hide in case of return fire, in i am interested in dugouts. which last month was transferred to strengthening the defense of the pokrovsky direction, it is believed that the enemy will continue to suffer heavy losses.

i, as an adequate person, understand that it belongs to someone parents, sons, children, brothers, sisters, and i think how many of them are lying here, and i understand how... it can happen that their relatives do not ring the bells and do not understand that something is wrong, we are now we are talking about mykhailivka, about two streets, and what is happening along the entire front in the territory of ukraine, that is, how many of them are taken there in packages, and even more are not taken, the question: maybe it is time to get a hold of your head and understand that something is wrong in this life ? oleksiy prodayvoda, mykola ryshchenko and oleksiy palii, radio liberty. and the day before on our air military serviceman yehor firsov, who is currently in the pokrovsky direction, said that the situation there is very difficult, and he even suggested that soon a dozen settlements there may be under occupation, including pokrovsky itself or, for example, selidov,

where he was from this material, and the ukrainian autumn project deep state reports that over the last day, russian forces have advanced in such settlements as grodivka and ukrainian, which is officially near pokrovsk... the headquarters of the armed forces of ukraine does not confirm this information, well according to local authorities , 16,000 civilians remain in pokrovsk, including children. simultaneously with the offensive of russian forces in donbas, i will remind you, the operation of the armed forces of ukraine in kurshchyna continues. russian troops, let me remind you, also counterattacked there. forbes writes that russia's problems in kurshchyna are that it largely relies on conscripts. this was a problem at the beginning of the ukrainian offensive in august, and now, the publication states. well, the ukrainian military, who are in kurshchyna, told cnn that not only conscripts are fighting there, but also former experienced fighters of wagner's pmk, who were relocated from west africa. according to cnn's interlocutors, ukrainians are suffering as heavy losses in kurshchyna as in other areas of the front. well, rfe/rl

has been contacting the general staff about this since yesterday, but we have not received an answer. i will remind you that volodymyr zelenskyi previously said that ukraine would keep territories in kursk. oblast for an indefinite period of time, because this is part of the plan for the victory of ukraine. well, in the meantime the politiko publication writes that when president volodymyr zelenskyy first spoke about an offensive on kurshchyna at the beginning of this year and insisted on this offensive, the former commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhny, who is now ukraine's ambassador to great britain, did not support such an idea. politiko writes about it citing its own sources among high-ranking ukrainian military and officials, but he himself, who is busy with journalists... did not talk about it. according to these officials, the objection to meritorious resistance was that there was none a clear second step after the successful breakthrough of the border by elite ukrainian units of four brigades. zaluzhny asked: when you get a bridgehead, what's next? he never

received a clear answer from zelenskyy, one of the officials said. he felt it was a game, he said matter-of-factly and did not respond to a request for comment on the kurdish operation. well, rfe/rl also turned to valery zaluzhny with a request to comment on his attitude to the kurdish operation, and we also wrote about this to his former adviser on strategic communications regarding the kurdish operation, but we have not received an answer, at least not yet, but ihor romanenko, a military expert, retired lieutenant general and also chief of the general staff, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 2006 to 2010 , joins the broadcast. i greet you, good evening. "i can't hear you, unfortunately, i don't know if this is a problem with us, or if it's possible, well, i don't know, yes, i can hear you now, good evening, the first question, do you accept that i'm industrious, valery zaluzhnyi was really against kursk operations, well, that's what the western

press writes about, unfortunately, we learn such sensitive information only from the western press, maybe, well, the question is not, at the current time, any person or. was she for or against, the question is how all this will turn out after a month of the introduction of hostilities on this... when offensive actions were still taking place, but the balance of forces in this direction between the sides was changing, that is, the enemy managed to form a group troops for somewhere already 45 troops, from our side with reserves, if any problems, and a call to action, because a month and a week have already passed, the enemy began to implement this grouping in order not only

to stop the actions of our troops, offensive, but to conduct counter-offensive actions, to try to push our defense forces of ukraine to the borders according to the analysis of western experts , in order to stop the advance, the russian federation had to get from 30 to 50,000 troops, but for 40,000, when they gathered, formed this group, they most likely succeeded in doing it, and now the question is whether they will be able to ensure this advance, for this it is necessary from 80 to 120 thousand, according to the estimates of western experts, and we see this... this countermeasure, that is, a response to counter offensive actions

by the armed forces of the russian federation from from four directions, two from the north, one from the west and one from the southeast, the defense forces of ukraine about three days ago managed to carry out offensive actions in the lukhovka area, and this means that... the nature of the actions is very dynamic, that is, the parties move from defensive to offensive actions, and for in the next few days, it will be clear what this kind of dynamics will turn out to be in general, the defense force of ukraine in this case in connection with the fact that they are already related to... more groupings of troops should go to the defense, characterize

if the representatives that this is an active defense, and these offensive actions speak for it, but one way or another , it is necessary to organize defense in other directions, which would provide countermeasures to a fairly powerful grouping of the enemy's troops, that is, the russian federation, which gradually is gradually... increasing, and there is a serious problem in this, but can i still clarify with you in more detail, i remember that we spoke with you at the beginning of the kurdish operation, and you, if i am not mistaken, evaluated it positive, but what is your assessment now, to what extent what is happening now, you say 45,000 fighters were thrown there by russia, if i understood you correctly, to what extent it could have been calculated on the ukrainian... side, and do you see any signs that this was it really calculated? well, regarding what is

calculated or not, predict all circumstances it is impossible, in principle, in any operation, and a month has already passed, and yes, yes, yes, and more, therefore, to assume that the russian state is resourceful, we see that... they supply manpower regularly, collect and that in potentials, they will be able to do it, so i think that such an approach was somehow predicted, but the question boils down to the fact that of the three goals, which were clearly achieved in a month, until the offensive actions began, which means, first, preventive actions in sumy directly, foiled their offensive operation, secondly, they forced them to transfer their troops... from the fronts here and improve the mediated

situation there, this is secondly and thirdly to form a buffer zone, that is the question of a buffer zone, because suja and its surroundings are a russian military hub, which during the year provided to the russians , actions in the direction of kharkiv, sumy all the time, and it was disrupted, destroyed, and the question is to what extent this buffer zone, this... this is the third goal can be maintained, so in the near future it will be shown how much it will be possible to get and that is, to have in the future e. negotiations, including the possibility of exchanging this territory, this is inherently political and diplomatic, we are already entering a truly diplomatic and political plane, i would still like to clarify, my question concerns the military plane, so to speak, i i still want to return to the fact that the politician writes, here they quote the words of a ukrainian high-ranking official who writes that

zaluzhnyi allegedly did not support this operation, we do not know how accurate this is. in fact, we turned to zaluzhnyi, so far there are no answers, here he is said that he, according to him, there was no clear second step after the successful breakthrough, what is meant when the general says there was no clear second step, can you decipher, i have already talked about it, in my opinion it means that predict that after the capture of some bridgehead or some territory, what is the goal next, well, as i see, what was the goal, i will formulate for you. it's maintaining that buffer zone, but it takes the right forces to make it happen. in my opinion, i said this in front of the counter-attackers by the actions of the enemy in two weeks, that from offensive actions on the part of the defense forces of ukraine it is necessary to move to defensive actions, well

, if the representatives of the defense forces explained this, that this is happening mobile defense, it was. mobile offensive actions, so in the western way, as it were, and now mobile defensive actions are being carried out, but taking into account the fact that the enemy group is quite powerful and growing, in my opinion, mobile defensive actions are not enough, and it is necessary, and this is what the defense forces are doing now , that is, they dig in and form a defense system of this buffer zone, which the defense forces captured from... for a month of hostilities, excuse me, for such a deletant question, and not to dig in too late, when russia has already launched a counterattack? er, if you heard, i replied to this that two weeks before that, the enemy's actions were a counteroffensive, and you can watch my speeches, that i said that

such actions should be carried out, it's like in the 23rd year , already at the end of june, i am talking about the fact that it is necessary to make a decision for the future, because in the 23rd year we had resources for counteroffensive actions in one direction, the defense forces we already took part in three first, and then in the fourth, in kherson, with this approach , there were no prospects for such a counteroffensive, and already in july nato representatives were talking about the fact that there would not be enough forces, and we tried until november... to take offensive actions in all these four directions, we have seen how it turned out. the last question regarding the kurdish operation, we understand that there are several goals, one is diplomatic, the other is political. now, when a month has passed and there is a week or even more. don't you think that with from a military point of view, the decision was wrong? no, because you and i,

including not only on your channels, discussed the issues that... we have now repeated them, and they were reached. another question is to what extent these achievements of the first stage could be maintained after a month and in the near future, i think it will be clear by the week how successful it is, because i emphasize once again that the potential of the grouping of the enemy's forces is growing, and with reserves in the defense forces of ukraine, well, to put it mildly, not just you. you give about a week so that the plus-minus, plus-minus situation becomes clearer. yes. ugh. at the same time, the russian offensive in donbas continues. yesterday, we had a serviceman of the armed forces on our air, and he really depicted what is in the pokrovsky direction. and he painted a rather disappointing scenario. he says that if even now, if things continue to be as they are now, then in the future a dozen

cities in donbas may end up under occupation , at least in the vicinity of these cities. kurakhovo, do you share such forecasts and in general, what are your forecasts for donbas in the near future? on this occasion, not only in donbas, in the near future, in the war. i also, well, i mean, i discussed on the air and wrote the corresponding texts, it depends on how the help will be provided by our allies, and for the first time. the turn of the americans and here are three options for these actions, if it happens as it is now, the americans promised and president biden one powerful help, as he said after this pause. apologized, as we remember, to the ukrainian people, and said that it will be fixed, but this is not happening, and therefore the events at the front, this is

the first option, which they were, will only worsen and soften with such help, because even the americans will explain the issue due to the lack of funds, and now two weeks until the end of the financial year and the 6 billion, which ukraine desperately needs, the aid that was planned for this, the americans do not know how to lay down now so that they do not burn. the second option, if it changes, is more positive, decisive on the part of the americans and appropriate assistance is provided, you can predict that by the end of the year there will be stabilization on the fronts, that is, the advance will stop, and then for the next year, if this kind of intensive aid increases, it will be possible to talk about... de-occupation actions, and the third, the worst option is that this aid may stop, well, there are different options,

if trump comes to power and stops the aid, then the situation will become even worse at the front, and it is significant, this is such an anti-ukrainian option, that way, and you agree with these forecasts that we often we also hear from the military that... "if the worst option comes true, then pokrovsk will soon face the same fate as avdiivka and bakhmut, i.e., that the city will be destroyed there to the foundation. well, we see, unfortunately, that such the algorithm of actions on the part of the russians is happening now, not only with pokrovsk, but with a fairly large number of cities, that is, they are using kerion aerial bombs, artillery powerfully and consistently." from the defensive, if the border of the district, which the defense forces of ukraine use each settlement, the city can turn into

the remains of the foundations, and we have already seen it more than once, and slowly, but the russians will advance, use such approaches and continue, and when you talk about more optimistic scenarios and... you voice there some hope that the allies will help by weapons, what kind of weapons do you mean, are you talking about these long-range missiles, which ukraine is waiting for permission to use, or is it about some other weapon? no, i am talking in this case about the system as a whole, that is, there cannot be a long-range weapon such a wunderwaffe that will save the situation if they help... we need funds and opportunities from the allies, first of all , the americans are there for this, we just talked about the 6 billion that are available, and the rest are also

available, they are the same f16s there, not so old, as were transferred, and more recent ones, in the deserts, they have quite a lot on display there, and not only that, we need artillery, ammunition, and a fairly wide range of weapons. to this, which the americans have, but we see, it is possible to draw attention to this and it is necessary to pay attention, that the help goes even in that, in the same f16 and in many other ways, due to the fact that it is presented, the americans help other states, and these states present this technique, of course, a lot was done by the americans themselves, but it is at the level of ensuring that russia does not lose. everything is being done in this war, and ukraine did not win, and with the corresponding payment from ukraine,

thousands of lives that we see are happening in this war. by the way, by the way, about life, we talked about it yesterday, yesterday on the air we devoted a separate topic to it, you probably saw that the wall street journal wrote about what ukraine could lose dead 80 00 servicemen, does this sound like you? the figure is realistic, believable, well, you have to be quite critical of them, but that these are tens of thousands of losses during this period, unfortunately, this is the case, we will still remember pokrovsk today, i still have a question for you about russia, but today in the tver region , an evacuation was announced in one of the cities and they flew there, there was some sort of drone attack. they wrote on the internet that it is possible that the production of weapons took place there, the city of torapets in the tver region, here we are now showing the picture from there, please tell me what, who... and what

could hit there, it seems to me that such a powerful strike has not been used against russian objects for a very long time? i know this area of ​​tver very well, it used to be kalinin, i graduated from the kalinin academy of anti-virus defense in soviet times, so i also remember kalinin itself, in which i lived and served and studied all the time, and well and the surrounding area, let’s say, and here we can say about , what's there... but it was a military object, a powerful object, because you can see what kind of explosions happen there after that, judging by what there smoke and so on, i.e. white smoke, this characterizes what was and continues to be detonated, namely ammunition, it differs from fuel and oil in that there after, it means the burning of black smoke, but this was most

likely achieved. due to the fact that a fairly large number of strike drones were used , and it should be known that if there are , say, 100 drones, and perhaps this is the number that is being talked about when striking, the goals are achieved taking into account the action of the enemy's anti-weather defense is about 40 percent, and this is good indicator, but one way or another we see. what are the consequences and it was carried out an effective operation to strike and destroy the ammunition that was and is still in these warehouses until they were blown up. today , some people just assumed that maybe ukraine is using some kind of long-range western weapon, don't you think so? these drones, you think, were from what they use, there

are and more accordingly. attacks on military targets, and there is such a forecast, i think not without reason, that our missiles were used neptune, that is, these are already modernized missiles and a complex that was developed as a shore, a ship, and which was modernized, the increased range of use of this type of missile is already used as a surface-to-surface complex, then... it looks like this is exactly what happened , i.e. the involvement of such a complex is possible, i want to return to pokrovsk for just one more moment, we will show the material from there now, your forecast, how realistic it sounds, when it is said that if russia captures pokrovsk now, it is extremely important transport hub, then in the 25th year she will have the opportunity to go there to zaporozhye

or the dnieper. "to what extent does it sound plausible to you, from your point of view, such a possibility with the capture of, say, pokrovskaya and several cities around it, the question is already there, and what and how will happen next with time, the ravine, there taretsk, kurakhov, uglidars, that is, this it is necessary to consider in the kupinsky direction, unfortunately, they have not moved forward, that is, to consider this entire line of settlements, and in this case, if they succeed to do, then there will be a significant threat in further progress, including the tension that you mentioned, i understand that it is precisely with the aim of stopping this offensive, including that ukraine very much expects to receive permission from western partners to use western weapons on territory of russia. thank you very much, we are always glad to see you, ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general, deputy

chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine 2000. for the sixth to tenth year, we talked about the situation on the fronts. well, actually, what is happening these days in pokrovsk, which, let me remind you, is big a transport hub with a pre-war population of over 60,000 people. the city is located on the main road of the region, and it is an important supply route to other so-called military outposts, such as yar and kostyantynivka. see another article from pokrovsk. we are evacuating my mother, she is sick, and my sister has down syndrome since childhood, and she cannot speak normally, so no one will understand her, and if someone says something to her, she will not understand anything.
