in russia and only on the moscow stage, she is often invited to sing patriotic songs at all kinds of dirty concerts. fatherland as a representative of the so-called new territories of russia, alina entered the moscow university of arts. no one is waiting for alina to return to ukraine. well, maybe our law enforcement agencies, in order to imprison her for a long time, play her. it was a program of collaborators and i, olena kononenko, if you have information about the kremlin progenitors, write to us at this email address or just on facebook, together we will send all the traitors in pursuit of the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso.

volodymyr zelenskyi's trip to the united states is the last opportunity to convince joe ba. is going to strengthen support for ukraine before the american president leaves office, the western press writes about it. is washington ready to support the ukrainian president's victory plan? we are talking about this today in the second part of the program, in the first part we are talking about donbas. there is an extremely difficult situation. russian troops resumed their offensive to pokrovsk in the donetsk region and continued to advance to kurakhovo. the strategically important city of ugledar was under threat of occupation. according to forecasts.

russian troops are about to capture him. this is svoboda life. my name is vlasta lazur. before the war, 14,000 people lived in the coal mine. currently , russian troops are trying to surround the settlement, and at the same time they are leveling it with the ground, aerial bombs and artillery, writes the ukrainian project deep state. the day before, russian forces bombarded and attacked the city particularly actively. that's it for example, we just showed a video from the ugledar and look where. is located ugledar. from the first weeks of the full-scale war after the fall of nearby volnovakha, the city became an outpost of the armed forces of ukraine in southern donbas. look how close the russian troops came to ugledar. the ukrainian fortress was kept in the coal mine for 31 months. it will soon fall, writes military columnist forbes, david ax. he hopes that the 72nd brigade, whose soldiers held the city all this time, has begun to withdraw from its positions. if not, the team risks getting surrounded.

the ukrainian military command does not comment on the alleged capture of ugledar, neither do the fighters of the 72nd brigade. ukrainian volunteer and blogger serhiy sternenko also called the situation in ugledar critical. in his opinion, russian troops will capture the city in the coming days. well, the military correspondent of tsn, yuliya kiriyenko, reported that the situation at the coal mine is more difficult than ever. entrance. from this city, our forces are becoming more and more real these days, the mortar calculation of one of the units stationed there was taken prisoner, it turns out that the mortars did not even know that there are no more infantry in front of them. this can be explained only by the fact that the attack on uglydar is unfolding very quickly. the situation is more complicated than ever. in general, the situation is difficult on the entire front line in the donetsk region. in recent weeks, ukraine has transferred reinforcements to strengthen its troops around pokrovsk, intensified the construction of fortifications in donbas, but

russia has also changed tactics, writes the financial times. russian troops have slowed down their advance to pokrovsk and are trying to bypass ukrainian positions from the flanks. now they are focused to... mykola ughledara, whom i have already mentioned, and kurakhovoy, the publication states. this approach expanded the battlefield and further complicated the delicate defense of ukraine, the publication says. well, look how, according to the deep state map, the situation in donbas has changed over the last week. yaroslav krechko, a radio correspondent, joins our broadcast. freedom project donbas reality. yaroslav, good evening. congratulations. you have been covering events at the front for a long time and recently returned from kurakhovo. what is the situation in the city, what is the situation around the city and in general, in those areas where you were and what did you see? well, in general, the situation in korakhovo

is quite depressing. i was in the city for a month or two before this trip. probably that's why, maybe a little less, and the difference is simply striking. the city is almost empty, it should be said that there is a curfew, from 11, you can be outside only from 11 to 3, that is, in fact, four hours, but even at this time only single people meet there, although some shops are still open, explosions are very audible in the city, because even if you look on the map, the truth that is, in the south, there is an ugledar and they are constantly flying there... cabs and artillery north of kurakhovoi is also a rather difficult situation, we know that the enemy has cut the road from selidovoy to kurakhovoy, and earlier, if the road, for example, from pokrovsk to korakhovoy occupied only 30-40 minutes, now we were

forced to drive for about an hour and a half, due to the fact that this route is intersected, obviously this is an example of how logistics are disrupted in connection with... this offensive of the russian army and in fact by design, obviously to cut the ukrainian front in donbas into two such parts, southern and northern, and complicate the logistics and exchange of its units, ammunition, ammunition, everything between these parts of the front, yaroslav, and you mentioned about ugledar, i see, at the beginning i quoted everyone who expressed his opinion about ughledar and everyone says that the situation there is very, very bad, how? it is felt in donbas, in particular in those areas where you were, and what are the military personnel who may have communicated with you tell you, what are the prospects for can there be coal miners? it is worth saying that i was not in the 72nd brigade, so it is difficult for me to assess the actual position, what the situation is

directly in the city of ughledar, but kurakhova is such an important logistical point, as far as the defense of the city of vogladar is concerned, and... units actually use this road , which leads from kurakhovo to ughledar, therefore, of course, the information, let's say this, is not the best about what the situation is there now, and the offensive, it continues, and the russian army in the area of ​​ughledar, but it does not stop in the kurakhovo area either, in fact, where i was, let’s just say, from mariyanka directly to the vlob, it is becoming increasingly difficult to storm kurakhovo and... so, well, it’s not that it’s becoming more difficult, it’s not possible to break through the defenses there, but there are successes to the north, to kurakhovo and to the south, if we are talking about gludar, they threaten the city itself, korakhovo itself, that is why the situation is difficult, and what do the military say in principle about the prospect

of russia taking over all of donbas, and the most , perhaps, the worst scenarios that sound now, so i asked the commander one... of the battalions, who is holding the defense in that area, about when he thinks the russian offensive may end, because it has actually been going on for a year, in october it will be a year since the offensive on avdiivka began, and this continuous offensive is obviously should, according to the logic of military operations, end at some point, but the military says that as long as the russians are there, the russian army can make up for the losses it has... every day there are figures of about a thousand, but every month it recruits new and new volunteers who actually without there, with some serious training, they rush into the combat zone, go on an assault, and very often it is as if it is the last assault for them,

and as long as this mass of people remains with the russian command, it can continue this offensive, that is why the teams there, even commander-level officers, are forecast ... they don't deny the battalion, they say that the russian military, russian soldiers, they are more afraid of their command, the consequences of any refusal there. going on an assault or returning from an assault after unsuccessful actions, than directly himself assault, that's why this is a problem, because the discipline in the russian army is built in this way, which cuts off their way back, that is, they go and this tactic of small groups, it works, because here we were at the command post of one of the battalions, right there after the assault, the assault was repulsed, but a certain number of russian soldiers remained alive, buried somewhere in the holes. on some landings and you need to search for them, you need to knock out those few soldiers there, the next

day a few more may join them soldiers, a few more soldiers, and thanks to this accumulation, in certain places there is this promotion that we are all talking about. thank you very much, yaroslav, yaroslav krechko, correspondent of radio liberty, the donbas-reality project worked in the kurakhiv area recently, and from the kurakhiv community, let me remind you, one of the most important areas of the front right now, as well. the evacuation of people continues, due to russian attacks in cities and villages , private houses are constantly burning, civilians are dying, the civilian population is dying, look, grigorivna, it’s the same, well, i’m with you, yes, yes, let's go, grigorna, let's go, sunny, let's go.

it is not scary here, no, it is normal here, there is no one here, no, yes, he is girls, come on, now, a military serviceman with the call sign boxer, an officer of the command staff of the third hunting battalion, 68 separate hunting brigade, i congratulate you, good man, joins our broadcast evening, congratulations, good evening, you are also in the donbas, the pokrovsky direction, as far as i understand, including do you understand what the situation is there, what is the situation in your area? in our area, the situation is very difficult, the enemy is constantly using meat assaults,

in the last 10 days we have already neutralized about 600 enemies, constant assaults, even this morning from 6:00 a.m. continuous assaults have already begun and continue until this hour, they are getting the brunt of it, and then they roll back, accumulate, the reserves are tightened and again continue their assaults endlessly. this is what our colleague just told us, that russian troops are replenishing their reserves very quickly with people, including, very quickly, literally a couple. long minutes or hours, and they go again on assaults. okay, under such circumstances, how do you see the future situation in donbas, what prospects do you see, in particular around such strategically important cities as pokrovsk, kurakhove, ugledar? but if in the near future our senior leadership does not take any measures, does not bring reserves to these directions, then everything will be very, very sad, because the enemy is superior hundreds of times in terms of ammunition, and people, and... in fpv and in drones by all means and by slave also and who should do what, when you

say management, who do you mean? i i mean that the reserves should be tightened, because we have a critical shortage of people, a critically low level of ammunition, we have no way to constantly hold back their endless assaults on our positions, our brave soldiers are holding the defense, but you understand that they also have their own resources , i mean moral and... physical, they get up very quickly, they don't even have the opportunity to rest quietly for a couple of hours, ugh, if the reserves you are talking about are not pulled up in time, what is the prospect? well the prospect is sad, because the enemy will actively advance further until they reach the border they need, i think the border is their entire donetsk region, so the prospects will be like this, and what can you say? separately by ugledar, because in the last day or two

, a lot of attention has been drawn to this city by western observers, and they assume that the city will be occupied for days or even hours, do you agree with such forecasts? and i share such forecasts, because i understand that from my friends, what is there the situation, how the enemy is constantly shelling this city, what kind of raids he is conducting, he asks himself whether he is in front of the contract. to attack or bypass them, so the situation there is also very, very sad. and you say that there is not enough, if i understood you correctly, both people and weapons. yes, the level of equipment of our brigade is critically low, because we have been at war for almost three years and were on rotation for only two weeks, we were constant, we held the harrow near pavlivka in the direction of holodar, then there were our assault actions, i will restore the positions on in the kharkiv direction, they no longer held defense there, and then we were thrown under the avdiiv direction, and for almost six months we have been holding

defense here in this direction, and what do they say to you when you ask for help and reinforcements? well , wait, everything will be, wait, we are waiting, and when it doesn’t happen, we don’t understand ourselves, and you understand why there is no reinforcement help, no, unfortunately, we don’t understand this, and we don’t understand this logic either, because the direction one of the important ones, it's hard enough here, and there is no help here, neither in terms of bk, nor in terms of people, so what the situation around this is somehow unclear, ugh, and what is the situation with the fortifications, with the fortifications in your direction. and fortifications have done a lot, to be honest, but they are not effective, because they are very deep, even, not designed for modern maneuverable defense, even the enemy who captures our, captures our positions in these areas, does not conduct defense there either, so that they are even inconvenient even for them, uh, if you said that the outlook could be

grim if reinforcements don't come, if the russian troops manage to capture... key cities in donbas, do you think they will stop or move on? i hope it will not go away, that after all we will stop at this point, so i don't even want to think about it. ugh. as you know, we devoted two previous broadcasts to discussing the topic of the soviet union and desertion. you must have heard the story of serhiy hnezdilov, who publicly went to all lengths and told about it. and what is your opinion about that. this is also the opinion of your brothers, what do you think about this about the fact that people go out of their way or about the fact that serhiy went and did it publicly and said that in this way he wanted to attract attention, many military condemned him for this, but some said that maybe this is the only way to attract attention, and we also condemn because it is a wrong decision if we we will all

make such a maneuver as he did, then who will defend our state, huh. but you yourself just told me that you have not rested for three years, we have no choice, we have to defend our country, because we voluntarily went to do it, so yes, unfortunately, we hope that someday, and there will be a rest for us, or the war will end soon, then we will have a real rest. what do you think, i have one last question, how do you think the kursk operation affected the situation in donbass, if it affected yours in any way. point of view, well , it seems to me that in our direction it did not change any positions much, because the enemy both pressed and constantly continues to press, they always have enough people and ammunition, only the activity of a little bit of fp drones here in our direction a little bit fell, i think some reserves were dragged there, they my dears, i thank you very much for taking the time and being quite frank with us, thank you,

serviceman, we are not naming him , callsign boxer, command staff officer third. hunting battalion 68 , a separate hunting brigade from donbas , contacted us and said that the situation on its part of the front is very difficult. thank you very much. i have already mentioned the topic of szz, so the state bureau of investigation opened criminal proceedings for desertion based on serhiy gnezdilov's statement. this was announced in the prosecutor general's office. military serviceman of the 56th of a separate motorized infantry brigade, i will remind, announced that he voluntarily left the service in order to attract attention to the lack of clear terms of service of hnezdilov in the army for 5 years from 2019, then he went as a volunteer, his act caused a very ambiguous reaction even among the military, one of which you could just hear. well, some condemn it, say that it is a betrayal of those who continue to serve, others say that such a signal to the authorities was necessary so that deputies

and government officials finally paid attention to the problem lack of service terms, well, probably the only thing that both the first and the second agree on is... that the servicemen are really tired and that the front needs more trained people. the ministry of defense does not comment on gnezdilov's actions, they refuse, although rfe/rl has contacted them for the third day in a row. interestingly, the day before, an interview with minister rustem omerov was released, and he said that after kyrylo tymoshenko began to be responsible for communication in the ministry of defense, communication from the ministry improved. well, i am forced to disappoint the minister, communication did not improve. and returning to szch serhiy gnezdilov in the sbi, we were told by... that the bureau does not comment on this topic because they believe that it will affect the reputation of the defense forces, and interfax ukraine, citing sources in law enforcement agencies, reports that gnizdilov is now in the hospital. and the suspicion has not yet been announced to him, serhiy gnezdilov himself the day before in an interview with babel once again explained why he decided on szch and why he did it publicly?

it seems to me that the state does not care how many people there are come on, it doesn't matter, she just chose the strategy of not communicating it, then what's the point of your statement if she doesn't pay attention to anything, first of all, this issue has not been forced in society for more than eight months. ugh, they decided to put it on the shelf and shut up. i did my best to get this issue discussed again in society, as much as i could. i partially agree with masinej that this is a very, well, a very radical step. but again , the state left me no other tools. i have been talking about this for over a year wherever he could. i kept stressing that we need normal mobilization, and we need replacement and rotation,

if only, if only. i serve in the infantry, i do not see people in the infantry, they are not there, everything is held on by a very thin thread, and at any moment it can break, and i am told that it is because of me that the front will collapse, and not because of those who ... mobilization and now continue to do so, inna sofsun, people's deputy, voice faction, joins our broadcast, inna, i congratulate you, good evening, good evening, actually. i will remind our audience that when the bill on mobilization was voted on in april, and when the clause on demobilization was thrown out of it, you were almost the only voice from the faction who did not support this law and explained that it was precisely because of the lack of clear terms of service, and... what is your attitude to the act sergey hnezdilov, what do you think about it? i've thought about this a lot since i found out it happened, and well i

guess the truth is, as someone who hasn't served, i can't imagine the state of people who do serve , and sergey serving for 5 years, he is serving, he went to serve when he was 19, now he is 24, and he is serving, serving in the infantry. i do n't think any of us who haven't served that long and haven't been there that long can, in principle , even come close to appreciating what a person is in, and how tiring it is, how draining it is, you know, to give it assessment, i certainly do not condemn him, i understand that many factors led to this, but first of all it is the inaction of the highest political leadership, which simply pretended that if we close our eyes there is no problem. terms of service, then it will resolve itself, but it will not resolve itself, because people are on the brink, and the fact that serhii took such a step, made it public, well, this is only one small manifestation

of this problem, and serhii, of course, well i took a big risk when i did this, but the truth is that a lot of military personnel are now going to the szz not publicly, i have literally received two messages in the last two weeks from different military personnel who are still serving. but they wrote to me about their friends who served with those who took vacations there and did not return, did not return, having gone to sezach, simply not publicly and this information is not disclosed, that is, serhiy simply made it public in order to draw attention to the problem, in fact, the scale, let's say, of readiness among military personnel to leave the service simply because they are exhausted, everyone pretends that these problems do not exist, they are actually huge and... vechevid simply drew attention to this problem, we had a serviceman from donbas, from pokrovsky just a couple of minutes ago direction, and he also said that the people were very

exhausted, but at the same time they condemned serhiy's act. let's talk about the reaction: what could the reaction be? obviously, there may be a political reaction here, for example, the government will promptly meet, and the deputies will think that it is time to write some law on clear terms of service, well, probably. there should be some ideally theoretically legal reaction, let's start with a political one, will there be any reaction to this story? er, you know, i've talked to several people about this, and they all agree that in fact, probably the most rational reaction on the part of the authorities would be not to react to this, well, that is, to simply leave the problem as it is, so that it simply disappears by itself, but it is obvious that this will not happen, given the fact that the matter is in the legal sphere against him opened, and this means that there will be some reaction, but for now it remains really in the legal sphere, there is no political reaction, well, there is no political reaction,

because there is no readiness in principle. to talk about it, i have been communicating with, well, since the beginning of the year various participants in the process, various discussions, regarding mobilization, demobilization, and i will tell you that the situation in these conversations remains exactly where we were in april, when the law on mobilization was voted on, that any mention of the need to establish terms of service is met with such silence, they say, why talk about it at all, it will never happen, and well, we will still be in such a situation for years, where they will say the same thing, well this will never happen, so why talk about it, that's why i think that it is possible that they will try to, you know, put it somewhere under the table and pretend that nothing is happening, here, but if the legal case continues, if serhiy is arrested there, detained, something else, something else, then it will be very difficult here on the part of the authorities not to react politically in the same way, you know, well, if you look at the legal

component of this story, it’s like this... it’s unpleasant, no matter which side you look at, if serhiy is now, conditionally speaking, opened a case and arrested, a question will arise , what is this in the political plane, the question will arise, they say, well, let's decide something, so that there are not hundreds or hundreds of thousands of people like serhiy, well, there are tens of thousands, although according to unofficial data, about 80 thousand people or cases are about desertion, and if there is no reaction to it at all, the case will be buried, then this can become... a signal for others, come on, you can go to the szch, no one will do anything or pay attention to it, so as not to harm the reputation of the defense forces, as we were told today in the sdf, we will not do this to comment so as not to harm the defense forces, yes, which one, a what can be the solution here, in principle, this was said by the sdf, whose employees are reserved from military service, by the way, i can also add this, but it is also important, i am very glad that they care about the prestige of the armed forces of ukraine, but the best care

for... the armed forces of ukraine is an honest conversation about the need to join the armed forces of ukraine and adequate terms of service, adequate rotation, adequate replacement of people, and in order for there to be a replacement, you need to stop constantly talking, you understand, in us in the parliament now the only problem that is discussed in this context is the problem of reservation, but for three months in the parliament the only conversation about mobilization is the problem of who else to reserve, and it is so inadequate, compared to what we are observing. well, despair from the military, despair, well, here are all the piles of cases about the military, leaving the unit, looking for opportunities to somehow get out of these services because of, i don’t know, because of marriage, custody of children, these are thousands of cases already today, you understand, instead of the parliament , instead of talking seriously about this problem, discusses one issue, that is , how to solve the reservation issue, so if, well, it is obvious that

there is no readiness to seriously talk about it, but really right now... well, here i should probably give credit to serhiy, he set the political elites in a situation where, well, somehow they have to react, well, because if now really, as you said, there will be no decisions regarding it, including in the legal sphere, then this will really be a signal that such a thing can be done to others, which is obviously not what we want, no that's what we're trying to achieve, because at the end of the day, these people aren't criminals. that's the worst thing, we're turning them into criminals, because we expect them to be supermen, you know, to serve endlessly, and we expect the impossible from them, and when people can't give the impossible, they're forced to transform on criminals, but this happens because of indifference, because of the indifference of society, because of the indifference of political elites who do not want to simply make some decisions, say honestly, we need to mobilize other people, when you talk about society and political

elites, we are very... if we were to generalize, who do you mean now? well, look , it is obvious that in matters of mobilization there is on the one hand the military leadership, the general staff, and the general staff is really very actively opposed to the idea of ​​establishing terms of service, this is their official position, they explain it from a military perspective, in principle it is very logical, they say that if you even recruit a sufficient number of new people, they will not be trained, they will not pass there arrange and so on and so forth, it will weaken our defenses. look, it's hard to argue with this argument, it's obvious that if at one point you bring all new people who have never fought before into the field of pain, then it will really weaken the defense. therefore, this does not mean that, in principle, we cannot talk about establishing terms of service, withdrawing some, introducing others, it’s just that the task of the general staff should be to develop a plan, how it can be done, in our case it turns out that the general staffs, which should be executors political will,...

they drive this political will, they determine it.
