interesting news, let's discuss, vitalich, let 's start with cremina, whether what the american institute for the study of warprogress in this direction. yes, good afternoon, of course, the american institute, the institute for the study of war - you know, such a voice of the people that can say everything that it thinks, in principle, it says the right things, what is not officials there may say to kirby, for example, or the same stoltenberg for his political elite, to give just this message to collect information, they have all these sources, they are, of course, studying this entire position. of course, they have concerns about what is happening on the line of combat contact from svatov to kupinsk towards kremyana. first of all, they announce this because, as they say, you know, because of the political situation, ukroveyk says that they don’t have it. unity and there is no common vision of what is happening and how to conduct combat actions on the line of combat contact, because the forced mobilization that they have, the failure of the counter-offensive, they have not created fists of steel from expensiv

ukrainian marines, the freezing dnieper has become a problem for the ukrainian armed forces, writes the american institute for the study of ware settlement of krynki turned into a spontaneous cemetery of the ukrainian armed forces. there didn’t seem to be any sight of us up there. it's good that you came out. rental advertisements have appeared on ukrainian internet platforms. earthlings, where for 400 euros a month you can hide from mobilization. in this footage, military registration and enlistment office officers are issuing a summons to a man who went out to take his child for a ride... so you either work or you fight, and that’s a fact. in the end, zelensky did not receive his widow’s pension; the last blow for kiev, as politico writes, was the refusal of the prime minister of the state council of china, litsan, to meet with zelensky. on at the final press conference, he started being rude, saying that the chinese prime minister was simply not on his level. he didn’t even think about meeting him and communicates only with those who make decisions, and this is definitely not the chinese prime minister. leader - to china,

of the tsc, it is natural should clean up mr. colonel, the analysts of the american institute for the study of war say that the russian army is preparingle...offensive actions between january 12 and february 2, when the weather is expected to make it difficult to defend ukrainian positions, is there such a danger in the understanding of the ukrainian military and armed forces of ukraine, is this danger any day, not only from january 12 to february 2? well, really, i will say here that in principle the russians can, for example, they are now constantly. is trying to push us in the kupyan direction, and this is a fact, and what is meant by offensive actions , if we take some strategic offensive actions with large breakthroughs, then at the moment this is an unlikely option, what the intelligence says, for example, at the moment, if we are talking about simply active actions, which in principle and now are going, it’s really the russians , they lead them, well, almost every day , of course, everything depends... on the weather, even here, as we see, how things are working now in the south, and we are working, we see what is happening at o

of what you've seen. positional battles continue near bakhmut, but changes in the front line have been confirmed. no, this is reported by analysts of the american institute for the study of war. in the general staff of ukraine, they say that during the day they repelled seven attacks by russian forces in the direction of bakhmut, in the russian the ministry of defense in turn is informed about six repulsed attacks by the armed forces of ukraine. the reuters agency showed footage of the work of the ukrainian military at positions near bakhmut the day before. in a comment to journalists, ukrainian soldiers told about attempts to break through russian forces, in particular at times, about the influence of the weather. on military operations, as well as about the lack of shells. considering the weather conditions, we switched to defensive actions, our units, the enemy is constantly trying to carry out some offensive actions. the main goals for ours units have a counter-battery fight, i.e. enemy artillery, or mortars, or anti-tank guns, the same self-propelled artillery as ours, tanks in positions, often happens. also infantry, advancing, advancing to rotate enemy units. over the

for taking so long to introduce you. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to heroes. mr. general, let 's start our conversation with the situation at the front, because the analysts of the american institute for the study of war have recorded a certain movement of russian troops north of the dnibrova in the kreminnaya region, as well as near bakhmut. according to analysts of this russian structure. the army prepares large-scale offensive actions in the period until february 2, that is, from these days until february 2, when the weather is expected to make it difficult to defend ukrainian... positions, should we expect a large-scale offensive by the russians during the next two weeks? you know, in war , making predictions is a very thankless business, so scouts always say one phrase before any report on the enemy's options for action: a possible option for the enemy's actions may be, everything consists not only in our thoughts and in our information, but in certain moments and many what depends from the enemy, but meanwhile , the most important thing during the war is to correctly assess the enemy, not underestimating the enemy can lead to serious problems, so it is better to consider the options for the wors

the goal of the russian general staff is to interrupt supply chains and maximize to deplete the armed forces of ukraine, says former deputy minister of defense of ukraine ganna molyar. the american institute for the study of warlaims that russia is preparing air assault brigades that will land from helicopters and attack the ukrainian armed forces’ fortifications from the rear. you could really feel the power of this american gun, but ukrainian artillery units are now having to limit the number of shots they fire due to a lack of ammunition. the head of the servant of the people faction organized a real attack on zelensky. arakhamia admitted that half a million ukrainians died due to the negligence of military commissars, recruits were sent to the front without training; they completed the young soldier’s course only on paper, so as not to get caught in the flywheel. in ukraine was held by stepan sazhurne, the blue minister was symbolically brought to kiev by the blue carriage of ukrzaleznitsa, to take the paris oath of allegiance to kiev, as the german sazhurne writes, he left just 2 days after his appointment to the post-door, international relations were literally opened to him by his former lover, the new

of preparation for such actions... allegedly, there are powerful shelling of kharkiv and surrounding settlements, which russian forces have been carrying out recently. analysts of the american institute for the study of war that in the coming weeks, russian troops may intensify their offensive in the kupyansk direction, but their pace and configuration do not indicate an approaching offensive operation along the kupyansk-lyman line, but sufficient forces to start large-scale offensive operations elsewhere, in the north or northeast of the kharkiv region, the russian army currently does not have. responds according to the telegraph article, the head of the kharkiv regional village administration, oleg synigubov, reported that there is no concentration of russian troops on the border with the kharkiv region. at the same time, the russian military is carrying out unprecedented shelling of border settlements, but sinygubov also reports on the construction of fortifications in the kupinsky and limansk directions, as well as from the north. next, we will talk with major nadia zamryga, head of the public relations service of the 14th separate mechanized brigade. on behalf of prince roman the great, i congratula

of the armed forces of ukraine , over the past 24 hours, 67 skirmishes took place at the front, the most active assaults were in the avdiiv direction, according to the american institute for the study of waroops slightly advanced west of the city of donetsk and west of verbovoy, which is taking place in the avdiiv direction and will the predictions of british and... tan intelligence come true, which say that part of the russian troops will go to kupyansk, respectively in the kupyansk direction and they will move towards kharkov, because according to the predictions of foreign intelligence, this is exactly the goal of putin and his army, unfortunately we do not know the answers to these questions yet, and obviously, in the next few days or weeks... the full picture of what the russian occupiers plan to do on the eastern front, well, in the meantime, while the russians are preparing for a possible offensive, which they cannot launch, or cannot launch due to the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, the verkhovna rada of ukraine already has five versions of the bill on mobilization. it government and four alternative ones, we know that at the end of 2023, the government of denys shmygal su

positions of the national guard, this is also quite a large intensity of application, actually... what trends are happening now, what are the dynamics, writes the american institute for the study of wargeneral, the occupying forces currently have, do not have major problems with rotation, they have 90 or more percent of combat units on the front lines , of course, the representatives of the defense forces also noted that the enemy was constantly carrying out, let's say so , and mobilization measures, for... aimed at replenishing losses, creating units, certain new units, equipping them, and of course, those units of the enemy that were losing combat capability. due to the losses, this is also in the south, in particular in avdiyivka, maryanka , and kupyanskyi, limansky area, they were either replaced or completed, in general , the figures regarding the number of axles, which are announced by official representatives, indicate that, in particular, a large number of personnel is used, as we have seen recently in kupyanskyi and lymanskyi. in this direction, the so-called stormb units appeared, they are essentially mercenaries, who used to be wagnerites, who were, now, they are more, let

the area of ​​kremina and bakhmut. this is stated in the latest report of the american institute for the study of war. ysts write that there are geolocation shots that point to pro'. of the army of the russian federation to the north of the settlement of dibrova is the southern flank of kreminnaya. analysts of the institute for the study of war also report a slight advance of russian troops in the bakhmud direction north of the settlement tick according to their data, positional battles continue along the entire front line. i will add that russian forces are trying to advance west from bakhmut in the direction of the city of chasiv, with the aim of reaching kramatorsk, slovyansk, druzhkivka and kostiantynivka, the commander said. of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi. in these minutes, ivan karychevskyi, an expert of defense-express, joins our broadcast. congratulations. good morning. thanks for joining in, there are many topics i would like to discuss, i would probably start from the fact that president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy should have received a message from

and if it ends, then obviously not the way kiev and washington would like, the american institute for the study of warthat the russian army is preparing a large-scale offensive in the kharkov region. the goal is to create a fifteen-kilometer buffer zone to prevent shelling of the belgorod region by ukrainian terrorists. so the ammunition depots of the ukrainian armed forces the positions of zelensky’s militants north of donetsk are destroyed by the russian aerospace forces, and these images of the enemy’s defeat are published by mines. armored vehicles are destroyed by trons and adjustable artillery ammunition from krasnopol. western experts worry that the situation will continue to worsen. general moroz is helping the russians again. despite the fighting we see all along the front, now comes the time when both sides must consolidate in terms of how they will now deal with new weather conditions. this may also lead to that the offensive bridgehead of the ukrainian armed forces in krynki will be abandoned. with reference to the head physician of one of the dnepropetrovsk hospitals, journalists report t

of the armed forces of ukraine. over the past day, 67 skirmishes took place at the front on... the most active assaults were in the avdiiv direction, according to the american institute for the study of warssian troops slightly advanced in... west of the city of donetsk and west of verbovoy, which is taking place on avdiiv direction and whether the predictions of british and american intelligence officers will come true they say that part of the russian troops will go to kupyansk, respectively in the kupyansk direction and they will move to kharkiv, because according to the forecasts of foreign intelligence. this is precisely the goal of putin and his army, so far, unfortunately, we do not know the answers to these questions, and obviously, in the next few days or weeks, the full picture of what the russian occupiers are planning to do to the eastern front will become clear, well meanwhile, while her russians are coming to terms with... a possible offensive that they can't or won't launch can be started due to the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, the verkhovna rada of ukraine already has five versions of the draft law on mobilization, this is the government's and four alternative

the exchange prisoners between ukraine and russia. according to analysts of the american institute for the study of war, after a break of several months, russia has decided. whiten her image and that is why she decided to accept the exchange. in this way , the leadership of the russian federation probably wants to show that they are interested in acting within the limits of international law against the background of previous violations of the geneva convention, in particular in the treatment of prisoners. the kremlin did not respond to such accusations. meanwhile, russian officials and media workers began to write about the fact that russia allegedly returned several dozen more prisoners than it gave to ukraine. the head of the state edition of russia today, margarita simonyan, wrote in a telegram that 248 prisoners of war returned to russia, allegedly only 173 returned to ukraine. the ukrainian authorities announced other figures. yesterday, volodymyr zelensky announced the largest exchange of prisoners since the beginning of the great war, and according to his report, 230 people returned to ukraine, including 130 military personnel

of the information and consulting company defense express was with us. and here's what they write, i just have to add here a little bit of what the american institute for the study of waron and positioning of the russians, as if it was their air defense that shot down their own planes. they think... that their pilots, when they hear that, they will feel calmer, that it was a coincidence, but suddenly this happened, and that no, no, no, ukrainians will not be able to repeat this again and will not be able to harm them again, they know themselves, they know that they should be afraid of their own people more than complexes at the front , i think they have already realized that, well, 9:00 is approaching the time when we remember and... we honor all those who died at the hands of the occupiers in this russian-ukrainian war, all the dead civilians and soldiers. let's honor the memory of ukrainian soldiers and civilians with a moment of silence of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

and regroup, in the future it will be able to conduct offensive campaigns and strengthen control over already occupied territories. analysts of the american institute for the study of war came to this conclusion. in addition, russia's goals regarding further territorial conquest in ukraine will not change, analysts write. in the university point out that in russia they can pretend to be interested in offering concessions regarding ukraine's place in western institutions, in particular nato and the eu. trying something like this to encourage the allies to make preventive concessions regarding the territorial integrity of ukraine. despite this, analysts of the institute for the study of war write that there is no reason to believe that putin will not abandon any of his own commitments to allow ukraine to integrate into nato or the eu, and cite the example that he has already violated russia's previous commitments not to violate sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, in particular, by annexing crimea and occupying the eastern and southern regions. in tabaivka , kharkiv oblast, ukrainian forces pushed russian troops to the edge of the village, analysts of the de

the american institute for the study of war also published that what is on the minds of russian militaryers now, they are racking their brains over how to move on from positional warfare. to some offensive breakthroughs, and we understand that they have some now somewhere the kind of challenges we faced last year, meaning russia is really hoping to use this year as the year to make it their offensive year, but they're facing similar challenges, do you think they'll be able to find some sort of technological solution? will this positional war continue throughout us this whole year? well... they're trying to change that, they're trying to upgrade, well , even less their drones, they're trying to increase the number of artillery shots, due to the fact that they're getting shells from the including north korea, well , they are trying to do a lot of things in addition to strengthening their troops, well, only the number of people, they have it for now, well, a conditional taboo until the so-called presidential elections of the russian federation on march 15-17 this year. but after that it is

the rest of it it contains quite such good provisions, which i think will be implemented. uh, i want to get your attention back. to your colleagues, only from the american institute for the study of warts, models, simulate situations, but we were interested in one, because it coincides with the dates, it was announced earlier that january 15 should be exactly this deadline, when russia will massively launch the next attack, january 15 has come, no intelligence has confirmed, well, we have what we have as of today. the following analysis suggests that russia is concentrating, concentrating amphibious assault brigades in order to repeat the hostomil amphibious operation only with helicopters. this is what your colleagues from the institute for the study of war write about: how real are such operations, well, we understand that they were real at the time when there was a treacherous attack in 22, and now in the 24th year, it should be considered simply. as a model or is it a real threat? first of all, you see the situation, the tension in our northeast is still maintained, the enemy's troops continue to transfer there, build up, and, let's say, general syrsky also spoke about this in an

for the second stage of the war, this second... and if it ends, it will obviously not be the way we would like in kiev and washington. the american institute for the studyorried that the russian army is preparing a large-scale offensive in the kharkov region. the goal is to create a fifteen-kilometer buffer zone to prevent shelling of the belgorod region by ukrainian terrorists. so the ammunition depots of the armed forces of ukraine are the positions of zelensky’s militants to north of donetsk, the russian aerospace forces are being destroyed. and these images of the enemy’s defeat are published by the ministry of defense; armored vehicles are destroyed by efvedrons and guided artillery ammunition by krasnopol. western experts worry that the situation will continue to worsen. general moroz is helping the russians again. despite the fighting we see all along the front, now comes the time when both sides must consolidate in terms of how they will now deal with new weather conditions. this may also lead to that the offensive bridgehead of the ukrainian armed forces in krynki will be abandoned. the russians are trying to maintain momentum by doing what the

under the covers is in question, the difficult everyday life of the war in the kherson direction is recognized in the so-called institute for the study of war. americanerts report that the dnieper is frozen in many areas, and this makes it difficult for ukrainian soldiers to cross. but the institute refused to acknowledge the deadly drops of combat drones and high-precision artillery strikes by our troops, because of which the bodies of ukrainian marines are literally thrown ashore in batches. assess the situation in another direction, kurakhovsky personally went. this section of the front has not been there for a long time, the 155th marine brigade has been reinforced from our positions, there are so many russians in the far east of russia, they are imprisoned for war in such frosts. the battle is already in full swing when the artillery unit receives the order. their combat code. syoma follows the commander in the us-provided m3 gun of the seven, they get to work. so, the soldiers are given a target, they work as quickly as possible to fire as many shells as possible towards the russian positions. three shot, that's all. the commander tells me that

the american isw ​​institute for the study of war says that there are suspicions that russia can usensnistria for provocations, in particular to disrupt the work of the grain corridor, by the way, it is working very successfully, if i am not mistaken in the numbers now since then, about 500 ships have passed through this corridor. since russia announced that it was terminating the grain agreement, nevertheless it could not stop the movement of these large ships, they are working, they have already transported many millions of cargoes, including ukrainian grain. so, what can transnistria use, have you heard anything about transnistria, it is very close, very close, it is on the border of the region, what about it, what is said about it, if, look, about the situation with the use transnistria, russians. they have been trying to throw this pisot at us since the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of ukraine, but we in odesa are quite calm about it, we understand the forces that are in transnistria, we understand their approximate combat capability, and we understand that their cap

the conflict in ukraine, western military analysts prefer to rely on data from the american institute for the study of warre have been no significant changes on the maps of this very institution for several days now, then on the political front kiev suffered a crushing fiasco this week, not only on the western political front, but also on the eastern one, and we have details. yes, vadim, a political publication with reference to a high-ranking american official, reported that beijing rejected kiev's request for a meeting between the chinese prime minister, letyan and vladimir zelensky. it was assumed that it could take place on the sidelines of the economic forum in davos. when this did not happen, the representative of ukraine, in a commentary to the publication , in every possible way denied that kiev had even asked for this meeting. well, zelensky himself, in response to a direct question from journalists, said that he did not intend to. meet with the prime minister of the people's republic of china, since this quote does not correspond to his level. well, now we can confidently assume that the allies

the conflict in ukraine, western military analysts prefer to rely on data from the american institute for the study of warges on the maps of this very institution for several days now, on the political front kiev suffered a crushing fiasco this week. and not only on the western political front, but also on the eastern one, we have details. an appointed american official reported that beijing rejected kiev's request for a meeting between chinese prime minister vladimir zelensky litsyan. it was assumed that it could take place on the sidelines of the economic forum in davos. when this did not happen, representatives of ukraine , in a commentary to the publication, in every possible way denied that kiev had even asked for this meeting. well, zelensky himself, in response to a direct question from journalists, said that he did not intend to meet with the prime minister of the people's republic of china, because this quote. does not correspond to his level , well, now we can confidently assume that zelinsky certainly didn’t have any more allies in beijing today, after such a statement, yes, but in fact, the pr

the tsc, of ​​course it should be removed. mr. colonel, analysts of the institute for the study of american war talk about the fact that the russian preparing large-scale offensive actions between january 12 and february 2, when the weather is expected to make it difficult to defend ukrainian positions, is such a danger in the understanding of the ukrainian military and the armed forces of ukraine, or is this danger any day, not only from january 12 to february 2? well, really, i will say here that in principle the russians can, for example... they are now constantly trying to push us in the direction of kupena, and this is a fact, and what is meant by offensive actions, if we take some strategic offensive actions with major breakthroughs, at the moment it is an unlikely option what the intelligence says, for example, at the moment, if we are talking about just active actions, which in principle are still going on, then it is really the russians, they are conducting them, well practically. .. every day, of course, everything depends on the weather, but even here, as we see how things are working now in the south, and we are workin

the us has thousands of troops across the region and there have been over 150 attacks on american forces since october the 7th, according to us officials. the institute for the study of war militias on us bases in the middle east. have a look at this map. you can see these attacks taking place right across iraq, syria and jordan. the bigger circles here show as many as 39 attacks on the same target. this appears to be a notable increase in the number of attacks on us bases. now that three american troops have been killed, all eyes will be on the us and president biden and whether this will lead to further escalations in the region. hundreds of members of the israeli settler community gathered for a convention injerusalem on sunday calling for israel to rebuild settlements in gaza and the northern part of the occupied west bank. the gathering included far—right ministers and allies of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. mr netanyahu has in official statements rejected resettlement in the palestinian territory, but the rally shows that the once—fringe position has gained momentum within his hard—right government. there has been little clarity about israel's longer—term inte

this was reported by the institute for the study of war of the united states of america. forecasts by american analysts from this institute suggest that the russians are preparing a major offensive in the next few weeks. and this is about the weather, about the frost and about the fact that if the ground is frosty, then they can go on this offensive, what are the possible scenarios for the development of the situation on the eastern and southern fronts now, taking into account the reports that we have and to the situation in the south and east? well, if you mean what the possible development is in the coming weeks, then...honestly saying, with all due respect to the institute for the study of war, but i physically do not see with whom and with what the russians can attack in a significantly different way than they are already doing it now, but i simply do not see these reserves, these resources in them, if we are talking about plus a few months, for example , about the summer, may be a different story, it will depend on how the mobilization processes will go further in them and how they will g

to seeing it, and they want to see them, a little disturbing new thing, such an institute for the study of war, americanasw says that there are such suspicions that russia can use transnistria in order to make provocations, in particular to disrupt the work of the grain corridor, it works very successfully, by the way, if i am not mistaken in the numbers now, how many ships there have already passed through it, about 500 corridor since russia declared that it is terminating... the grain agreement, nevertheless, it was not able to stop the movement of these large ships, they are working, they have already transported many millions of cargoes, including ukrainian grain. so, what can transnistria use, have you heard anything about it? transnistria, it is very close, it is close to the soul, it is on the border of the region, what about it, what are they saying about it, if, look, about the situation with the use of transnistria, the russians.

the us has thousands of troops across the region and there have been over 150 attacks on american forces since october the seventh, according to us officials. the institute for the study of warks by iranian backed militias on us bases in the middle east. now have a look at this map. you can see these attacks taking place right across iraq, syria and jordan. the bigger circles here show as many as 39 attacks on the same target. this appears to be a notable increase in the number of attacks on us bases. now that three american troops have been killed, all eyes will be on the us and president biden and whether this will lead to further escalations in the region. merlyn thomas there. have a look and see what the uk's foreign secretary had to say. today we've issued _ foreign secretary had to say. today we've issued sanctions _ foreign secretary had to say. today we've issued sanctions against - foreign secretary had to say. tm— we've issued sanctions against seven individuals and one organisation connected with iran. frankly, they were carrying out threats to kill people here in this country, completely unacceptable. that's why we've acted. these anxious are asset freezes and tr

the last 3 days the occupiers have lost 41 units, the institute for the study of war of the united states of america reports. the forecasts of americanstitute indicate that that the russians are preparing a big offensive in the next few weeks, and this... it's about the weather, about the frost, and if the ground is frosty, then they can go on this offensive, what are the possible scenarios for the development of the situation in the east and the southern fronts, given the reports that we have and the situation that is developing in the south and east, well, if you mean what is the possible development in the coming weeks, then frankly, with... all due respect to the institute the study of war, but i cannot physically see who she is how can the russians advance in a significantly different way than they are already doing now, but i simply do not see these reserves, these resources in them, if we are talking about plus a few months, for example, the summer, it may be a different story, it will depend on how mobilization processes will continue in them and how they will proceed in the same way will or will not proceed in our country, b

the front. - say analysts of the institute for the study of war. with all these factors, ukraine will be able to open ground corridors for an offensive, cautiously predicts the retired american general and former director of the cia, david petraeus. undoubtedly, by conducting offensive operations, ukraine is cutting russia's logistical routes along the southeastern coast of ukraine. this would be a major achievement. however, i do not fully understand whether this will be possible. ukraine still has to overcome a huge defense line, the so-called sorovikin line, unless ukraine can really establish dominance in the air, and i am not sure that the number of western aircraft will be sufficient for this. according to the german publication welt , the most likely attack by ukraine will be on the left bank of the kherson region, where the russians have weaker defensive lines. in a positive scenario for ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine will inflict even greater losses on the russian army. the british ministry of defense predicts that by 2024, the number of russian casualties will exceed half a million, which further demoralizes an enemy fighting on foreign soil. yes, there are m
