petya, the boys are moving, but we, well, what we are doing is somehow not in order, they did not bring me a summons, i said, well, we went to the military commissariat. sergiyu, 35, a man from the vinnytsia region, began to defend the country back in 2014 in the donbass, got into the ninth battalion of the vinnytsia territorial defense, later to the 59th heysen brigade, where the mobiles. served during the anti-terrorist operation, in 2022 he joined the army again under contract. kyiv oblast, chernihiv oblast, here near kyiv we rode a little, in chernihiv oblast, kharkiv oblast, luhansk oblast, well, after bakhmut, he was released. retired last year for family reasons, now trying to adapt to civilian life. i am trying to get used to civilian life. i am engaged in

beekeeping, making my own products, well, thanks to the ukrainian veterans fund, i am finishing up. the workshop for packing honey and honey products is already at the final stage, i started beekeeping in the 19th year, well, as it were, i prepared the apiary in the winter and for six months you can go to fight, six months have passed, it’s just spring, you need to take care of the apiary after the apiary, if you take six-month contracts, it’s uh... morally easier than to stop by for a year, for two, the way the guys are fighting now, which, well, they don’t change, it’s just, well, that is, i won here for six months, came home, rested, well, recovered, and you can go again,

and like in our country now there is no clear framework when there will be demobilization, or rotation, or replacement, well, that is, it is very difficult, for the war i... came as soon as the neighboring aggressor entered our country, this, well, i mean a full-scale invasion, and before that i was also in the ato in the 15th and 16th years, the 74th separate reconnaissance, and on february 24, my friends and i , with my best man... went to get weapons to defend their city. artem defended the country in his native kyiv region, later the battalion was transferred to the east. first, the kyiv region, then our battalion was in the kharkiv region, then in donetsk region, there i was wounded near

bakhmut, my comrade, well, my best man died, that is. he retired at the age of 60, the man is undergoing a complex course of rehabilitation, however, he does not sit at home, he works at the rescue and diving station of kyiv and is also actively involved in sports, archery and swimming. now you undergo rehabilitation all your life, how long after the injury, first amputation, then reamputation. more shrapnel was taken out all over the body and the spine hit the other leg, an open gunshot fracture, rehabilitation, this is already the whole of the next life, the dream was one thing to drive

the enemy from our land, that was one such dream, but in fact he became a scout and was a commander departments worked in that way anyway. davyd, originally from the lviv region , worked as a construction worker before the large-scale war, building not only ukraine, but also europe, but from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the man stood up for the defense of his own country. he stayed at the front until april 2023, when he was wounded. at the beginning of the large-scale invasion, a volunteer went to rata's battalion, after which we became , as it were... in the guru unit and worked in the zaporizhia direction, that is, before the wounding, our job was to advance the defense line forward, well, before the recapture of our territories, the wounding was like that, well, as if

every working day passed, that is, the wounding could have happened at any time, because we usually worked behind the front line, well, in one thing i... we took out brigade at their position, which we had already prepared for them, we were caught by an enemy ptur, a guided missile, and thank god that the entire crew remained alive, my brothers, well , your injury happened to me as well, a man dreams of standing confidently on his feet and i want to help the military continue to help our brothers in the war, well, let's see, the most important thing now is to get back on your feet to fully feel myself, that is... the classic protest did not suit me, and that's why we are now trying this integration and will try to continue walking normally and thereby help our fellow citizens. remembering and honoring those who defend our state is the duty of every ukrainian,

you can express your gratitude in many ways, with warm words, sincere hugs and, of course, donations to support the defenders. tatiana golono. posthumous recognition of volodymyr zelensky awarded the title of hero of ukraine to military pilot andrii pilshchikov. by him jus. the corresponding decree appeared on the website of the office of the president of ukraine. the title and order of the golden star was awarded for personal courage and heroism demonstrated in the defense of the territorial integrity of ukraine. jus died that year on august 25, the same day l-39 training planes, one of which he was piloting, collided in the zhytomyr region. pilshchikov made hundreds of sorties. he was one of the drivers of kyiv, and also lobbied in the international arena for the supply of f-16 fighter jets to ukraine. eternal memory and glory to all heroes of ukraine. and at this

moment, it is known that as a result of the russian attack on zaporozhye , 21 people sought medical help, among the injured, a 12-year-old child, one man for sports news. i invite yevhen pastukhov to the conversation. two hours in the company of your favorite presenters. cultural news, alena chechenina, our art watcher, is ready to tell. vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. glory to ukraine, dear tv viewers, well,

first of all, we congratulate you on the day of protection, the day the day of the intercession of our immaculate mother of god has been celebrated in ukraine for the past centuries. in general, this holiday originates from the byzantine christian pantheon, when the consecrating mother of god covered and protected constantinople from barbarian raids. yes , according to the new tradition, we also celebrate the defenders of ukraine day, the day of the ukrainian cossacks of the cossacks, but not only today we celebrate this day. well, actually, we would like to congratulate all defenders and eternal respect and gratitude to all those who gave their lives for ukraine to be independent. today , our broadcast will be specific, yes, it will be dedicated to today, so we will attract as much attention as possible. to the topic of our defenders, to how we should help our living defenders, because

the best thing we can do in memory of those who gave their lives is to help those who are now defending our independence, and until today day, today, october 1 , fighters of the kolomyia 10th separate mountain assault brigade edelweiss celebrate an important for themselves and not only for the event itself: the day of the october 1 unit of the kolomyia tenth separate mountain assault brigade. edelweiss, we congratulate it on the day of the unit, and for nine years dozens of soldiers have been making history, winning numerous awards, and most importantly , the edelweiss continue to fight for a free and independent ukraine every day, and now let's watch a small video dedicated to this glorious unit. delweiss need mountains to bloom, which is probably why we hold on to each terrecon so tightly. born no, the 10th separate edelweiss mountain assault brigade has been defending for the ninth year

native land, during the full-scale invasion, yes, well, a little later we will repeat this plot, and now we will talk about the situation at the front, but dear tv viewers, remember, the espresso tv channel implemented your, with your active financial support, more than one collection, so you will see . qr code, join, and now we are joining ivan tymochka, the head of the council of reservists, ground forces, and armed forces of ukraine, to our marathon. glory to ukraine. dear ivan, we would like to congratulate you on the day of the most holy theotokos, on the day of the intercession, and accordingly on on the day of the defenders of our ukraine, i would like to start the article from this direction, which is extremely difficult, and there is a certain negative dynamic there. you tell me, there are certain complex dynamics, indeed, and this is due to

the fact that the enemy, not being able to capture the ugledar from the flanks, but began to attack head-on, if in the last few days we, for several days, we observed the reinforcement of their ground forces' ground component with actual armored vehicles and there is also an increase in air strikes, yes indeed. the enemy was previously recorded as making attempts to enter the city building, and repeatedly those groups were destroyed and knocked out, so now the situation has... seriously worsened, but what should be understood: there is no panic, there is no escape, the defense, as it was organized, is being carried out, and the observational direction will also be depend on several mixed factors, this is the readiness of the russian army or the ability to advance in the vremyov direction and in

the kurakhove area, and because this line is actually in... interconnected, and indeed, our fighters now have to hold the enemy in rather difficult conditions , because through the constant bombardment there really destroyed the city infrastructure very much, and the fact that even the head of the administration has already confirmed in ugledarska that actually even some part of more than a hundred civilians remain there, well, but we understand that these are... civilians who did not show any the desire to leave this city, for various reasons, we perfectly understand that there are people who are greedy, and there are people who are just fanatical, look, god forbid, of course, well, but if the enemy will strengthen in the ughledar direction, what could this mean, yes, because here we are also talking about maryanka, here we are also talking about kurakhov, yes, there is a feeling that they

are concentrating there and will try to push, in the pokrovsk direction they have lost a little bit of... they have lost the offensive pace, but what will it mean if we take the map, topography and the specifics of this southeastern corner of ours, our front line, what will it mean for the front line in general? yes, they really are the pokrovsky direction, i wouldn't say that they quieted down, it's just that the inertia of their offensive has stopped, since this is connected with the fact that it is now important for them to expand flanks the selidovo, kurakhova and vogledar districts, because otherwise this advance they made near pokrovsk could have been the very threat to them in terms of encirclement, so they expand their flanks, well, what is the situation if the enemy tries to occupy the urban development of the vogledar , because it will continue, if

a decision is made to leave ugledar, then from... of course, the fighters will leave, i think that there are already certain plans written for such a case, there is some understanding for us about how they can leave, if necessary on the map, another question is whether it is worth it now, as i see many experts, they are starting to name populated areas, to name routes, of the potential departure of the armed forces, this is wrong, because very often consciously... consciously we actually give carte blanche in our hands the enemy, if there is a need, decisions will be made by the persons responsible for the defense of the ugladar to exit, they will conduct this exit, to what positions they will exit, it will also depend on how the exit will be organized, whether it will be completely planned in stages, or

after all, the enemy will try to press as much as possible, to break through the power. not the defense in order to create a separation of troops, everything will depend more on this plan, in this situation, we are progledar, mr. ivan, tell me, please, i would just like to return to the personnel issue that happened this weekend, the commander of the 72nd brigade, who is currently in the coal mine, he was dismissed from his post, actually i wanted to clarify, you know, there is a saying, horses are not changed at the crossing, but... here, well, your point of view is interesting, or do you consider this personnel decision now timely, because this is actually a person, ivan vinnik, he, he, he was with his brothers for a very long time, he headed this unit, this brigade for a very long time, and he knows the specifics of these people and that location , actually, is this decision now

related to the fact that some, perhaps , new visions of what the situation near bogladar might look like are needed, because... i say once again that there is a saying that a horse is at a crossroads they don't change, look, personnel issues in the army are never taken spontaneously, they usually are certain discussions and consultations are held, it is very, very rare when a personnel issue is accepted quickly, but this person must really be very unsuited to the positions held, the question is... is it actually that the personnel will be transferred again there is a complex bureaucratic army procedure and it could simply , i am rather sure that it was so, the question of him... more than that he was not fired, he was promoted, and i am saying this now without irony, the question of his promotion could have arisen earlier, and earlier he was simply

tasked with performing certain things, transfer position to another person in order to move up the career ladder, regarding the conduct of a battle or the organization of hostilities, so really, mainly in the direction in which a specific brigade is entrusted. in reality , the commanders of battalions and units are responsible for defense and organization, and the brigade headquarters is responsible for planning the operation. the commander is the coordinator of all these actions, and he is, as it were , the link with the senior commander or with the higher command, the brigade commander, and he is also responsible for interaction, say, with adjacent brigades, units that are not... belong to him in terms of command, but perform joint tasks in order to already establish interaction, the issue of transfers,

personnel transfers, military, you know, unfortunately, especially combrev of the 72nd, politicians used rather to play out some political issues of their own, play out some scandals, because there were more than 60 brigades in the armed forces, in particular in the ground forces, before the large-scale retrenchment, after the start of the large-scale retrenchment in ukraine there are hundreds of brigades, they are constantly being transferred, reassignment of command staff, officers, soldiers, sergeants, and this has always happened, is happening and will happen, taking into account, of course, the appropriateness of people to the positions that move them, what am i leading to, that, unfortunately,... . because of abuse by politicians, or why politicians chose this particular commander in order to use his name in their political ambitions, i do not know, moreover,

the brigade commander did not give any, let's say, an antecedent for politicians to abuse his name , but we understand that the military differs from other structures in that they have subordination, and the main task is because... they are the country, in general, i believe that in the verkhovna rada, deputies should decide personnel issues themselves, in the cabinet of ministers, at the level of the cabinet of ministers, at the level of the army , personnel issues should be resolved in the army, and politicians should not interfere, if they interfere, it is precisely this problem, when some incomprehensible suspicions, intrigues, claims and so on appear, of course, what... now to talk about , which is not worth it was, it was probably a little late, because the politicians did their dirty work and

attached to combrig's name actually some such, you know, not entirely pleasant things, of course, he will be watched now, probably the politicians, where is he will be transferred, what position, how will he cope, will he perform the tasks there, it is never necessary at priv'. there are some politicians' fantasies about real situations directly in the army, look at the last one , i would like to ask you about your premonition of what the enemy could have planned, for example, on in the north and in the south, in the north, in belarus , the enemy conducts training, prepares a full complement of anti-aircraft defense systems, anti-missile defense systems, and further down the list, these are several brigades of personnel, and reservists are also being recruited. at the same time , the enemy in the southern direction also became more active, regularly striking zaporizhzhia with anti-aircraft missiles, guided aerial bombs, and barbaric weapons , and there are also rumors that

the enemy may be active in the zaporizhia direction as well, they are bluffing, so to speak, whether it is possible to talk about a certain increase in offensive activity the enemy at such an operational level? well , let's start with the fact that the strategic reserves that the enemy could use are already in use in ukraine. plus the kursk region forced them to withdraw troops from the depths of russian territory, plus use conscripts to conduct hostilities. therefore, it is wrong to say that this is some kind of radical increase in the potential of the russian army. if we consider with you the zaporizhia direction, indeed, in the staromayorsky area, combat actions have become more active, active, intensified, but we should connect them more with actually... in the direction of poremyiv or zvugledar, because on this line the enemy tried, is trying to do everything, so that we could not move additional forces and means along the

front line. in order to strengthen the corporate direction. this is understandable. kabam's strikes on zaporizhzhia are the reason why we destroyed russian anti -s-300, s-400 and even s200 systems in crimea, which they used to strike the city, zaporizhzhia. given the absence or reduced availability of s-300 systems, they are trying. to compensate for the actual strike potential of these systems with the use of drones and aviation, this is also because the enemy has increased the production of drones, indeed the production of guided aerial bombs, so what he has at hand is what he is trying to strike. why in zaporozhye? well, this is one of the regional centers, a nodal city, with a huge infrastructure,

with a huge... industrial city, it is also clear here, the enemy is trying to destroy it as much as possible, just like kharkiv, like kryvyi rih, and dnipro, that is, these are the same populated cities of industrial importance for ukraine. of belarus, well, i have never, i have never rejected the fact that putin will use belarus in the war, i believed that if he was really there, there would be a serious problem in the army. if they have a very serious problem with the selection or re-recruitment of people into the army, and by re-recruitment i do not mean the equalization of losses, i.e. they lose 35-40 thousand there every month and such a number are currently being remobilized there due to various circumstances contracts, coercion, and so on, if their remobilization will not reach zero, that is

they will lose 50, relatively speaking... they will gain 30, but they will still try to play the belarusian card, because for sure no one will ask lukashenka, and there will be a team, there will be a primos, especially since the russian generals have been in charge of the belarusian army in one way or another for a long time, especially since they took away a large amount of armored vehicles, in particular weapons from belarus, now these maneuvers are, again, rather an attempt to restrain our troops in the northern direction. so that we don't transfer our units, our reserves, in particular to the kurshchyna district or, well, the sumyshchyna district, that's why in fact, such is their enthusiasm there now, to say that they are ready for an offensive, but i doubt that they are no longer mentally ready there, thank you, thank you, mr. ivan, reassured ivan tymochko, the head of the reservist council of the armed forces of ukraine was with us at direct communication and by chance we congratulate

all defenders and remember. that our peaceful, peaceful day today is only possible because of them, so we request you, please scan this qr code you see on the screen now, today is a great opportunity to say thank you to those who protect us, so please join the collection, now we are collecting in order to purchase drones and rebs for the three brigades that are currently fighting on the donetsk heavy front, and our thanks to them, this our donations, this is the closing of this collection and as soon as possible to... the rate of drones and raps to them, so please join, scan the qr code that you see on the screen, or if you watch us on youtube, you can look in the description to the broadcast, there is a qr-code, or rather a link to monobank, let's go now for a short one pause, after that we talk about international politics, there is a lot to discuss, thousands of ukrainians found themselves in a similar situation, the sofa suits you on one side, and as

soon as it comes... it's time to sleep on it , the thought immediately arises:
