last week, zelenskyi came to bakhmut. zelensky was already on it.as just a little while ago that there was a syrian who spoke about the latest events and gave instructions. does this mean that, in principle , this idea is to surround bakhmut? well, you can say the threat of the encirclement, the cutting off of supply routes has been removed from the agenda, well, at least for the next week or two, i went there for these visits , well, i can say that these are very brave people who are now going there without taking part in hostilities, that is, to organize such a trip for syrian, and even more so for president zelensky, this is extremely difficult work , which means that the situation in the city still allows ordinary cars to drive on the roads, because 2-3 weeks ago, when there was a thaw, we know and i can see the day a month ago or a month and a half ago, it was there at all it was warm this winter. in the spring, we saw that the guys were already driving someone by metro , respectively, past the fields and everything they came up with , how to g

collided with an american drone what consequences will this incident have to receive and protect bakhmut zelensky collected a bet on which the situation was considered at the front and are ready to confront china, the leaders of australia, the united states and britain got together and agreed on the construction of nuclear submarines , a russian fighter collided with by an american reconnaissance drone on the black sea. the american military reported on this. in a statement by the european command of the united states army, the mq9 drone was conducting a routine operation in international airspace when two russian su-27 aircraft tried to intercept it. one of the aircraft hit the propeller of the drone from so the americans had to to sink this drone in the white house said that president joe biden was informed about this incident and just now the russian ministry of defense released its statement saying that this drone threatened the sleeping sea itself, this is their statement. in short, and so far there have been no comments from the ukrainian authorities , bbc diplomatic correspondent james lan

especially lucky. drama theater a block from above, but tomorrow, on the second day, he went under bakhmut zelensky greatest feat in putin's life, they still crossed out thank you, sir, the phrase of the mayor of mariupol, stay with our express andriy seychuk and i are waiting. we will return very soon. we are looking for eight-year-old sofiyka oliynyk, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances exactly one year ago in march 2022. help find the child . her grandmother is asking for help. i talked to her and found out that the woman lost contact not only with her granddaughter and with her daughter we know nothing more where she is with a child that with them mm e-e and here we live in such a shock in such a shock mrs. rita told that her daughter was living in the capital on the capital of nichola solovtsova and when the war started, they left kyiv not immediately. they spent about a week in their house when the war started. she and her child were in the basement, hiding from e shells, and she and the people were watching the train. she left, and when she was on the train , her father called. an

meanwhile went to the front, visited the forward positions of the ukrainian military in the bakhmut direction, zelensky listened to reports on the operational situation at the front, talked with the military and presented them with state awards and later he went to the hospital where the wounded fighters are being treated. zelenskyi’s previous trip to bakhmut was on december 20. then the fighters handed the president the ukrainian flag, which he handed over to the united states congress . the bbc correspondent in kyiv, james landea , described president zelenskyi in the context of this visit. president zelenskyi is very interesting if we look at it. on the news of the last few days, they were all about putin's arrival in russian-occupied mariupol, and also about how the chinese leader was received in moscow. i think this visit of the president zelenskyi to bakhmut in the east of ukraine, this is a kind of diplomatic response. russia has been trying to capture bakhmut for about seven months, this is the longest battle of this war, and it has not captured this city, so in this sense, bakhmut has become a

so, he, uh, in the sense of not an office, zelensky came to bakhmut. y does not have a friend yermak or stoltenberg vladimirovich's friends there. so you look at the picture, it means that supposedly this is bakhmut, zelensky’s office claims that the footage taken right on the front line , he deserves reports from the military now the hardest battles are going on. ah. here in this video you can not hear, neither close breaks, nor even distant ones. that is, when necessary no at all, which, of course, is strange to pay attention to the fact that the military has a very clean uniform, as if they were not digging, but from dry cleaners, well, the cars are very clean, although under artyomovsk, where, again, now there are heavy skirmishes. such shots will somehow naturally unravel, and even tanks get stuck in the mud, and there was nothing of this on zelensky’s footage. well, another participant in this festival of fakes. now they are trying to spin the story that russian soldiers are firing at civilians on the north-votemovsky. we have already seen all thi

the latest american weapons continues, there are especially many disputes and controversy over bakhmut. zelenskyt want to leave the destroyed city, while washington believes that ukraine is spending so much manpower and ammunition in this battle that it may lose the opportunity to launch a major counteroffensive in the spring, but kiev ignores washington’s opinion, while rumors have already spread in the united states that how hopeful. it seems to be biden's promise of unchanging support for ukraine, given the approaching presidential election. after all, his republican rivals will definitely have a question about about where the american taxpayer money goes, but perhaps the ukrainian generals are holding on to bakhmut for this very reason, firstly, retreats could cause even more discouragement in the ranks of the western allies. but, and, secondly, having lost the line of defense that passes through this city at the apu. there simply will not be the strength to gain a foothold on new frontiers after the withdrawal, mikhail bogdanov, who works at the forefront with the latest information about w

latest american weapons continues, there are especially many disputes and disagreements about bakhmut. zelenskyo leave the destroyed city, while washington believes that ukraine is spending so much manpower and ammunition in this battle that it may lose the opportunity to launch a major counteroffensive in the spring, but kiev ignores washington’s opinion, while in the united states already rumors spread about how reliable it would be. biden, but the invariability of support for ukraine, taking into account the approaching presidential elections, because his republican rivals will definitely have a question about where the money of american taxpayers goes, but perhaps the ukrainian generals are holding on to bakhmut precisely for this reason, firstly, retreats can cause more greater despondency in the ranks of the western allies. but, and, secondly, having lost the line of defense that passes through this city at the apu. just won't have the strength to after retreat to gain a foothold on new frontiers mikhail bogdanov, who works at the forefront of the latest information about what is happenin

sergei zenin on direct line, donetsk donbass regarding the quarrel between pledged and zelensky let's read. the bakhmuton has sparked a conflict between ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky and the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian troops , valeriy, zaluzhny. sources in the political leadership of kiev , zaluzhnoy a few weeks ago, for tactical reasons, recommended thinking about retreating from the bakhmuts. at the same time , the authorities in kiev believe that it is necessary to keep him further. however, the soldiers on the front line are more supportive towards the wrong side of the majority of the ukrainian military in the city do not understand. why the city is still held by them is also puzzling? why they are ordered to dig in as the enemy surrounds the city, a ukrainian military, an analyst who wished to remain anonymous, said the vast majority of soldiers in bakhmut do not understand. why is the city holding onto the questions that guys in bahmut ask themselves. what is the strategy? why should we dig in when we're surrounded by the enemy soldiers say retreat? should have happened a long

ukrainian military analysts have recently been criticized in the continuation of the battle for bakhmut zelenskyas they say, is playing a hold, more and more troops planned for a major offensive are already sent to hell. bakhmut. thus, the liberation of the entire region hangs in the balance. today it has already become. it is known that it is not the love of americans for russia reached a record level , a recent poll showed that only nine percent of us residents have a positive attitude towards our country. this is the lowest result during the existence of modern russia, even a year ago it was 15%. for the first time such a survey was conducted before the collapse of the ussr in 1989. that is, perestroika and then the majority of americans , as much as 62% had a positive attitude towards the red bear, high rates remained throughout the nineties and even two thousandths with small natural exceptions up to 40% it fell when russia supported the serbs during yugoslav crisis. but since putin's munich speech, the rating has been steadily falling, in the fifteenth year it has sunk to 24% since then ,

by order of zelensky, the ukrainian army has been protecting bakhmut for 6 months. em is what zelensky can do here the main military mistake and putin will definitely take advantage of the collapse of the apu. under bakhmut will start a chain reaction throughout the donbass. confident experts. ukraine is already concerned about the consequences of the retreat from bakhmut according to denys yaroslavsky, commander of a unit of the armed forces of ukraine, immediately after that, other ukrainian cities may become a new bakhmut, for example, the hour of khiar and kramatorsk, russian federation defense minister shoigu just said that the loss of ukrainian troops in february. increased by more than 40% compared to january over 11,000 people and the key takeover of artyomovsk, as i call it or bakhmut , will allow the ukrainian army to carry out a further offensive on the defense of the ukrainian army, the first details immediately after the advertisement. mom, we are expecting a wonderful baby premiere on the channel russia help someone syndrome. i suggest terminating the p

bakhmut. ukraine's president zelensky says more than 1,000 russian soldiers have died and at least another thousandsses in the german city of hamburg have cancelled all in—person services this weekend following the shooting at a meeting hall. seven people were killed in the attack on thursday. one member of the community who lost two friends told the bbc that it will take years to heal. the bbc�*sjenny hill reports. bereaved, bewildered, a city in mourning. these jehovah's witnesses told us they lost a relative in the shooting. what was once a place of worship, now a shrine to the dead. we pray together. we cry together. michael tells us he's barely slept since the attack — too busy supporting survivors, comforting the bereaved. two of his friends were killed. it's hard to imagine that a group of people sitting together during an evening in their church, reading the bible, singing and praying together and then, all of a sudden, a scene of love is becoming a scene of hate and death. gunshots. the killer brought terror to this community. what makes it harder to bear — that he himself was once part of

moreover , many of these losses occur in bakhmut, which zelensky turned into a symbol and meat grinder of ukrainian troops. and not only bakhmut. one more environment is expected frankly. how many direct hits were hit each day arrivals were four hits directly into the trench? to shoot especially from hailstones from grenade launchers and machine guns is meant in the direction of the new ukrainka or where? i'll go, flies to ukraine. and here it was most difficult to equip fortifications. in the sense that we are in an open field and as soon as we went out, guys. they began to immediately cover the marriage began to cover. we are located near the new major vraka at a distance of 1.5 km, the main enemy forces are concentrating on pavlovka and they are now trying to take. the commander of the battalion andreyevich, we cannot disclose the full name, give orders on the radio in the command center together, which we also cannot disclose. we can tell for sure that she is in a house in a bombed-out village. somewhere near flint in eastern ukraine , his call sign fog on laptop screens next to hi

bakhmut. i don’t know, well, zelensky said that he seems to be settling in bakhmut, as we can see how before residentsnt to leave the city remain, in particular families with children, the other day i talked about this the head of the donetsk regional military administration, pavlo kirylenko, also reported that, according to him, 32 children currently remain in the city, they are there with their parents. well , the vice-prime minister for the reintegration of temporarily occupied territories, iryna vereshchuk , reported a week ago that there are less than 4,000 children left in total. people like in a city that risks being surrounded by civilian people. why don't they leave? and what does bakhmut currently represent for an ordinary civilian, that's what we're going to talk about now olga danilova, a volunteer, joins the air to talk. olga, my congratulations, congratulations. we know that you communicate with volunteers and have contact with the locals who remained in bakhmut, so what is happening there? just now , against the background of current events, when we know that in fact the russian troops

bakhmut. i don’t know what zelensky is talking about with his advisers, but. that ukraine is so desperate. she fights for bakhmut for a number of reasons alone. it consists in the fact that russians are simply allowed to go to waste if only the city was taken. perhaps the main intrigue of this week is connected with this, and allegedly, a cat that ran in ukraine between the president and the commander-in-chief allegedly insisted on the surrender of the city. zelensky ordered not a step back. we understand that after bakhmut they can go. then they can enter akromatorsk. they can go to slavyansk after bakhmut. it will be an open road to other cities. it is necessary analytically in the direction of donetsk notes of the institute for the study of war half of artyomovskoye is already under the control of the russian military and although commander of the ukrainian ground forces who have recently been in the mute. already four times declares that the relevance of holding the city is only growing ukrainian press. it leaks more and more. these are the confessions wit

why did the opponent bang this and that with the retention of the bakhmut zaluzhnaya, because he perfectly understands that zelenskye 100,000 dead under the bakhmut, he will hang on someone in the hall. whom the people of the slander will curse for the death of these 100,000, emmanuel macron, at a meeting with the unok on friday, speaks of strengthening ukraine's position to start a dialogue with moscow. for this, london and paris promise kiev help with a counteroffensive. and although so or otherwise conversations in the west. increasingly, thoughts about peace are slipping through. it is still not clear the goal set by kiev's allies for the start of such negotiations . so the main attention in the war zone is still riveted. to the events in artyomovsk. on ukrainian maps, i will remind you of this donetsk city. this means that the official authorities in kiev, as well as any belligerent side , are very reluctant to comment on their losses. but now even western sources admit that russian troops control at least 50% of the city for which for several weeks now there have been fierce battles, despite the real threat o

bakhmut for months. ukraine's president, volydmyr zelensky, says he's told commanders to find reinforcements to help defend often report the statistics about casualties from the war in ukraine, but rarely do we hear about what happens to those who've been injured in the conflict. the bbc has been given access to one hospitial in lviiv, where the wounded are given specialist rehabilitation treatment. a warning, you may find some parts of this report from our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse upsetting. this is when illya pylypenko's war ended. his tank had just gone over a mine in the southern kherson region last september. he holds on as his comrades take him to safety. illya suffered burns across a third of his body and seriously injured his leg. the journey for wounded soldiers is a long one. in lviv, western ukraine, thousands end up at this rehabilitation centre. in this war of old, injuries from explosions or shells are the most common. while illya is one of many, it's been an isolating six months. translation: i had many surgeries, a skin graft and three _ operations on my leg. there was a searc

week ictv the only news this video broke the patterns of russian propaganda president zelensky's visit to the bakhmut region was so lightning-fast that the kremlin did not have time to distribute the manuals before the broadcast and the proclaimed skabeeva pounced on the russian venkor who previously claimed that the road of death to bakhmut is under the full control of russian artillery, but it turns out that zelensky drove by and presents awards to heroes, this is also a visit by the president of russian to mariupol, which is 80 kilometers from the front line, but the leader of russia dared to go only at night i wonder why it is safer to not see the details of the face, for example, this unexpected trip again raised a wave of talk about kremlin doubles you can immediately see in sevastopol that this is not putin. because putin has a very specific move, he always has his right hand. it seems that he has a sword or a saber hanging there, and he supports it with this. with his right hand, kortyk always waves with his left hand, and here is a person who looks like putin, he openly waves with his right

, and on this informational impulses that we see and read, we agree this week, president zelensky visited bakhmutd immediately we all know that it was very clearly visible, precisely in contrast to the alleged visit of vladimir putin to mariupol, where he went into some kind of yard, or did he not? and president zelensky, as it was already reported, was somewhere there, well, literally 500 m from, well, ground zero. so, where is the contact line, what does this mean for the military in the first place, and in your opinion, what can be said about this visit? well, of course, such things . they are sufficiently risky, and the president's steps show, first of all, that he is not separated from the war, he is not separated from the army, and he is ready to bear these risks that are now being borne by ordinary guys. the commander-in-chief, the president of the country, when the generals come, the commanders of various types are there supporting the guys on the front lines, in close proximity to the battles, these are very, very, very strong emotional moments for people who sometimes perform combat tas

they have cold on president zelensky to remove his troops from the city of bakhmut.ave practically surrounded bakhmut, only one route out remains, if earlier we were fighting against a professional army, now we are increasingly seeing old people and children. give them a chance to leave the city. the city is surrounded. bakhmut is a fairly small town. set in farmland. before the invasion it had a population of around 73,000 people. but moscow sees it as a stepping stone to seize bigger cities further west. president zelensky has admitted that the situation in bakhmut is becoming more and more difficult. in another blow for ukraine, kyiv has ordered the immediate partial evacuation of a town in the north—east. families with children, people with disabilities, and those with mobility problems must leave, because of constant shelling by russian forces. the city was liberated from russian occupation last september, but russia is trying to take it back. but there is some good news for kyiv. the us just announced another military aid package for ukraine, worth $400 million

secondly, regarding uh bakhmut, i understand why zelensky imitated.novka or where he was, but for him. it was an important trip. i understand why, because every day is over. for almost a month now, the topic of bakhmut in the information space in a negative way in a negative way, that is, a society of people who live outside the war, and who are grabbed on the streets, thrown in a car and being taken to the military registration and enlistment offices. people don't understand. why are these people sent there to the bakhmut front line by servicemen who die there. i remind shoigu cited the figures in february of 11,000 people who died only in this direction, the military does not understand. why are they defending or defending bakhmut there or trying to recapture the tank? well, and so on. and now inside the country it's all so boiling. he was forced to go there, but he was forced to go, why, in order to come and justify? city losses that were all there these losses they must be justified, because the president-in-chief arrives in uh conditionally speak

by the way , use western technology, it seems intend to fight for artyomovsk or bakhmut, but the question is whether zelenskytime on the one hand, as reportedly, they decided not to withdraw troops and extend the so-called defense operation, and the ministry of defense even announced the transfer of reinforcements to the bakhmud region, they say they will fight to the last, but why then the nazi commander, the notorious magyar clearly and clearly recognizes the retreat from the tremolos of the combat order with his feet, received a combat order, the order to immediately leave the bangnut to a new place of hostilities. i am first of all military, so i will not comment on the orders of the command command compromise interpretation. trying to find the western institute for the study of war, supposedly there is a limited tactical withdrawal of forces that are well organized and planned. although this doesn't seem to be true. for example, an armored vehicle of one of the ukrainian brigades literally breaks through private houses, leaving artyomovsk, and someone has to run away. on foot, since the transport was de

zelensky artyomovsky? our source in the president's office said that the bakhmut will continue to be held, despite the deterioratingituation around the city and the pressure from the west , this is a fundamental point for zelensky. he promised not to give it up, as a symbol of the defense of ukraine, the commander-in-chief of the all-union believes that the time for the counter strike has been lost and the plan of the commander of the ground forces of the vsu syrsky is designed for luck, that the weather will stabilize, but in reality the apu can get bogged down in the mud and become easy prey for enemy artillery. now it is being discussed in ukrainian social networks. and here is the prevailing opinion. rumors circulated on the sidelines that reserves had been transferred to bakhmut for a week from newly arrived units that had been trained on western training grounds, many on the sidelines believe that this is the agony of the office of the president. zelensky, along the way, began to understand that he himself is such a kind of one-day symbol, and the longer he holds on to artyomovsk , the more he prolongs his ow

we cannot rule out that bakhmut will eventually fall in the coming days. uh. it would seem that zelenskypatrons, should realize the inevitable. however, he insists on the opposite and would understand what he really wants believed in his strength. he really felt like some kind of superman, from whom white smoke flies out of his nostrils, as a result, if he withdraws his troops now, then 20,000 of his fighters will remain surrounded in the city. half of them will be buried there, half will be taken prisoner, and again there will be such a mass exodus, as we already have it all in style, and therefore he won’t do anything. is it like swang? whatever step y takes and uh, you'll still be the loser. in conclusion, another resonant video from those that go with a bang in ukrainian welfare. mom, under peppy rock music, mounted a little a lot. air battle over bakhmut. well, at least that's how it is written, but for some reason the pilot flies near the sea, or it was somehow mysteriously dug up in the vicinity of artyomovsk, or what is much more likely, someone throws out absolutely supporting f

well, firstly, of course, today hmm, the defense of bakhmut received a very serious next black mark , zelensky, remember that the last visit, uh, to bakhmut by photographing against the backdrop of the vostok plant, and ended with the fact that then, against its background, wagners were photographed for a long time. in general, in the same perspective. all we are seen, therefore today's arrival, in general, does not cause much enthusiasm in anyone, because everyone understands that from one photo to another. well, at least a few kilometers and half of the territory and , accordingly, in this case, of course, moral, and such an accent, as it were, would be a very lubricated second nuance. he is more like that. uh, well, unfortunately sometimes it's bad to be a killer whale. in november. we here in this studio talked about the fact that information had passed from kiev and voiced that the ukrainian military-industrial complex, with the help of the americans, was splashing into other countries. and then even many reacted critically to this, because well, somehow what side will it be. give your bu

bakhmut. president zelensky says ukraine's biggest challenge right now is defending bakhmut.f bakhmut and so, this battle has been going on for months and it's depleted both countries resources in a major way without so far reading to any significant movement of troops on the battlefield. stay with us on outside source — still to come. how the great pyramid of 6iza continues to reveal extraordinary secrets. scientists discover a new hidden corridor. we'll bring you the first picture. the journalist who leaked more than 100 thousand whatsapp messages to and from the former health secretary matt hancock insists it was in public interest. isabel oakeshott, obtained the messages while she was working with matt hancock on a book last year and handed them to the daily telegraph. matt hancock has accused her of a "massive betrayal". our political editor chris mason has been speaking to her. in a window of this bunker in the corner of this news room, more than half a dozen daily telegraph journalists spent two months ploughing through two million words of messages. who has a pro—lock

last week , zelensky came to bakhmut. not long ago, a syrian was there who told about the latest events there, gave instructions, or, well, it can be said removed from the agenda , the threat of the encirclement, the cutting off of the roads has dissipated , and some are now going there without taking part in hostilities, that is, to organize such a trip for the syrian, and even more so for for president zelensky, this is an extremely difficult job, which means that the situation in the city still allows ordinary cars to drive on the roads , because two or three weeks ago, when there was a thaw, we know and i can see the day a month and a half ago, and it was quite warm there this in the winter, in the spring, we saw that the guys were already going by some kind of subways, respectively, past the fields and everything they came up with, how to get from the side of chromovo, at the moment , i understand that and i see that the route to chromovo is controlled by our troops, our guys who are there, they defend heroically, as far as i am concerned it is known that they worked near ivanivsk,

of ukraine have enough resources to restrain the russian offensive and why did president zelensky go to bakhmut again, he got a new business and is actively breaking into politics viktor medvedchuk received new gas stations and money for a political project in russia , what is the bet on him in the kremlin and how noticeable its influence can be in ukraine, one person died, 33 were injured , three are now in serious condition, among the injured are several children, the following are the results of the russian attack on zaporizhzhia: missile the russian army began shelling the city today at 11 a.m., a total of six rockets were fired, one of which hit between two residential buildings, just now you are watching this video near the houses where the rockets were hit, there is no military target, the regional military administration says search operations at the scene of the tragedy and they are still going on, our colleague radio svoboda journalist yevgenia nazarova is in zaporizhzhia, she is filming the consequences of the rocket attack, further without comment, i was at home at the time of arriv

what the trick is, it turns out that the adviser to the zelensky president of the country declares that they will withdraw these troops from bakhmutr. e, and communicates with mr. salev and literally after lunch, information appears that they are additionally sent and strengthened there. uh, this is the direction so then tell me here's the logic, what, that is, it turns out that the decision-making center. not there, he is there in washington, they decided that the ukrainians should die under this e-bahot. well, it's their decisions that are correct, and here they are in the center of implementation. let's beat it. well, well, if we say that it’s not there, then now we are leading the coordinates, so the vision is very curious, when you drive, there are exactly the coordinates from this point of view. you understand? i have been saying this a thousand times already, there is simply no political elite in ukraine, no political power, which at least to some extent generally reflects the interests of those people who live in this territory. well, this is an absolutely nautical regime, which operates only moreover, and emphasizes only

we cannot rule out that bakhmut will eventually fall out of it in the near future. it would seem that zelenskyatrons, at the time to realize the inevitable one-sidedly insists on the opposite and understand what he is really trying to believe in his strength. he really felt like he was there. superman, whose nostrils emit white smoke, as a result, if he withdraws his troops now, then 20,000 of his fighters will remain surrounded in the city. half of them will be buried there, half will be taken prisoner, and again there will be such a mass exodus, as we already have it all in style, and therefore he won’t do anything. it's like wang. what a step like items, uh, you will still be the loser for another resonant video from those that come with a bang in the ukrainian blocker. u-y mom, and i build rock music mounted a little bit air battle over bakhmut. well, at least that’s how it’s written, but for some reason the pilot flies near the sea, either he was dug up in some mysterious way in the vicinity of artyomovsk, or what is much more likely, someone throws in absolutely supporting fakes, which w

bakhmut for months. ukraine's president, volydmyr zelensky, says he's told commanders to find reinforcements to help defendraine, but rarely do we hear about what happens to those who've been injured in the conflict. the bbc has been given access to one hospitial in lviv in western ukraine, where the wounded are given specialist rehabilitation treatment. a warning, you may find some parts of this report from our ukraine correspondent, james waterhouse, upsetting. this is when illya pylypenko's war ended. his tank had just gone over a mine in the southern kherson region last september. he holds on as his comrades take him to safety. illya suffered burns across a third of his body and seriously injured his leg. the journey for wounded soldiers is a long one. in lviv, western ukraine, thousands end up at this rehabilitation centre. in this war of old, injuries from explosions or shells are the most common. while illya is one of many, it's been an isolating six months. translation: i had many surgeries, a skin graft and three _ operations on my leg. there was a search for doctors, hope for a specialist who may

order putin to occupy bakhmut and in this way take a step towards the occupation of the entire donetsk and luhansk regions. but they did not actually succeed, and president zelenskywas in bakhmut today, personally, now has all the information, as well as the ukrainian commanders who are planning our contrasting operations if russia somewhere uh, he plans uh , one or more offensive actions, they will be just as hopeless, since they have invested resources in bakhmut, because i doubt that they will be able to invest the same amount in any other in another direction 355 and they are from open sources you can understand that they were produced after the second world war and they will actually be the oldest on the front now and if you take into account what tanks are, well, it’s definitely not about technical characteristics but what role will they play in hostilities and whether there are possibilities. maybe in the russian army they can be modernized somehow. well, they can modernize, they can paint some beautiful picture there. i think that these will be limited to berlin, for example, it will really fit this design. the fact is that there is two aspects, the first

president zelensky has admitted that the situation in bakhmut is becoming more and more difficult.or ukraine, kyiv has ordered the immediate partial evacuation of a town in the north—east. families with children, people with disabilities, and those with mobility problems must leave, because of constant shelling by russian forces. the city was liberated from russian occupation last september, but russia is trying to take it back. but there is some good news for kyiv. the usjust announced but there is some good news for kyiv. the us just announced another military aid package for ukraine, worth $400 million.— military aid package for ukraine, worth $400 million. together we work lockste to worth $400 million. together we work lockstep to supply _ worth $400 million. together we work lockstep to supply critical _ worth $400 million. together we work lockstep to supply critical security - lockstep to supply critical security assistance to ukraine, and everything that we have done in lockstep, military, air defence systems. after one year of relentless war kyiv says it urgently needs mo

destroying the most powerful nato grouping there, when the issue of bakhmut or our artyomushka is now practically closed, then for zelensky as a mercenary, as the commissioner of western intelligence services, the main question arises. and on what today to collect a new mobilization? they run from the current mobilization , whoever can, but they are caught so harshly that even in quotation marks, human rights activists from amnesty international, who by no means can be suspected of sympathizing with the kremlin, for example, they recently revised their own report on the military all crimes. so in the case of mobilization, even they noted the barbaric methods of detention, they responded by beating corruption in odessa , for example, employees of the military registration and enlistment offices break open the doors to the yards with master keys to get to potential cannon fodder for shipment, including to the front line artyomovsky organize some kind of camps there under odessa and so on for holding them forcibly so that they do not escape and use the most cruel methods that emminist international is known in quotes as a hu

yes, i’ll call you words from another inter zelensky who explained why it’s so important for kiev to hold on to bakhmutkhmut, aka artyomovsk avdeevka and merenko. these are three important defensive ones, having recognized the second echelon of defense of the strategic defense of ukraine, the capture of bakhmut and artemovsk will mean that we have broken through this strategic defense and then zelensky himself says, although here he didn’t lie, he said that the russians would have the opportunity to attack slavic kromotorstvo. ugh for them. uh, it's extremely important, so hold on to the woman so as not to let the momentum break through. yes indeed indeed, if we take these three strongholds, and there is one very interesting pattern. if you see a map of hostilities, then you will see that the ukrainian troops, as it were, crash into our battle formations, and, as it were, a kind of bakhmud ledge is obtained, and this is what we are doing now. we are going to cut off this ledge and open our way to the slavic cranes, too, where we have a lot to do. not afraid to say difficult responsible work. most likel

of course, zelensky went to bakhmut, where the fighting took place. go to bakhmut. well, he went to mariupol, again, to the scene of the crime, and how you will comment. is this in connection with more on the eve of the visit of sisipin? or, after all, as a reaction to the announcement of the decision regarding gaga , he said, well, i not only kidnapped children . he wanted to tell the judges and i also killed tens of thousands of people in mariupol, and the russians themselves they say that there are uh well, the russians are good, let's say nivzorov says about 100,000 killed , i don't think that there is a figure of 100,000 well, but if you take the brothers with the military and in general, it could be well, he came yes, and not only kidnapped my grandfather killed children and destroyed their parents here in mariupoli came here, please. vadim, your opinion. well, i think that the first thing is that it is the anniversary of all of crimea and not to go to crimea on this day, even though he didn't want this trip. he couldn't. the second point, obvio

secondly, regarding uh bakhmut, i understand why zelensky imitated.a or where he was, but for him. it was an important trip. i understand why, because every day is over. for a month now, in fact, the topic of bakhmut in the information space in a negative way in a negative way, that is, a society of people who live outside the war, and who are grabbed on the streets, thrown in a car and taken to military registration and enlistment offices people do not understand. why are these people being sent there to the front line ? i remind shoigu cited the figures in february of 11,000 people who died only in this direction, the military does not understand. for what they defend or defend the bakhmut there or try to recapture the bakman and so on. and now inside the country it's all so boiling. he was forced to go there, but he was forced to go, why, in order to come and justify? all these losses that were there , all these losses must be justified, because the president-in-chief arrives in uh, relatively speaking, as they say in uh in bakhmut. yes, and thus t

zelensky is seeing the world just like a good intelligence officer would. i know he's an actor. he's seeing the world through putin's eyes. putin is fighting in bakhmute in stalingrad. it's a meat grinder. zelensky knows the war will end when one loses the will to fight. if all of that sacrifice, the wagner troops, tens of thousands killed, russian troops killed in bakhmut and ukraine holds strong there, that does hurt putin's standing internally with his own ministry of defense and arm my and intelligence services. zelensky knows he can't afford to lose for his own be people to keep the momentum up. here in the west, he was relying on the united states. he has to show he can keep winning. >> neil: how much has china changed the equation here with this romance that the two leaders were striking up last week and now talk that china will be the funding backstop for russia for as long as it takes. >> well, i think on the surface, there's a warming relationship between russia and china. what vladimir putin got was a public relations village photo op. china is absolutely taking advantage of a beating and bloody's russia that is extremely isolated on the w

putin drives by under the cover of night in mariupol, zelensky went to the forward positions of the ukrainian military in the direction of bakhmuthow it all happened, the video of zelensky just appeared , he wrote on his pages about the press service, he wrote that he had the honor today to reward the heroes, shake hands and thank them for the protection the sovereignty of our state belongs to putin. if he did not try to present himself as an alpha male there, there is no such thing as him going to the front to the wagnerites , for example, and handing them awards there, too much to compare zelensky and putin. of course, if someone there , for example, two years ago said that putin would look like a comedian and zelensky would look like one of the leaders of the free world . well, obviously. that they just changed their positions in world politics, that's all the result of the war, that's all very simple. it's like a court, you know, they judge those who lost the war , ah, and if volodymyr volodymyrovych is already waiting in haida, that's just the first sign of this, and that's the change in the roles of weight in the world, th

want a more serious conversation, and here he says that since president zelensky announced in february that we will not surrender bakhmut, and we also went down in political history because after this sixth date, when the stake was gathered , and supreme president zelensky gathered it as the commander-in-chief, the result of this stake, which we were informed about, is that zulzhny and syrsky agreed that it is important to keep bakhmut and bala further says that despite the fact that there were statements, for example , by the us minister of defense lloyd, that this is an unimportant city , in fact it is not a key one, despite other all kinds of assessment statements, now the responsibility for bakhmut lies with the diligent yasyri, not on to president zelenskiy because they recognized that this is a strategically important city in order to put the and actually the conclusion now from the point that our politicians must realize that their place is not in the general staff where war plans are developed and politicians should neither interfere nor try to manage the armed forces by the forces of ukraine, because nothing go

mines are falling and he is standing. with eggs, well, it won’t work in ukraine because zelensky was also in bakhmutn the hostilities were taking place there, poroshenko, in principle, is always traveling , and poroshenko is a person who also came to his war because of that. well, actually, it will not take ukrainians into thousands of ukrainians died today, the heroes are alive and real, but here is a handsome man in contrast to putin, who sits in a bunker, and this one stands in the middle of nowhere, it works. a dangerous trend that they see their future already here in ukraine, maybe this is some kind of hint, look in them, in them, they see it in the future, they only saw that on the example of others, so to speak, representatives of russian society, this is simply a continuation the line that they don't perceive russia, they don't perceive ukraine as something that really exists, an independent state separately. separately, let's say it's a separate phenomenon, you know. well, they didn't perceive poland like that, but now something doesn't go to warsaw, our warsaw, which they said back then,

bakhmut. but zelensky rejected the offer, then strongly rejects now insisting on the continuation of the defense. as a result, the city was actually surrounded by russian troops between zelensky and zaluzhny whom many see as zelensky's successor emerged. a very serious conflict. at the same time, the ukrainian military also do not really understand. why would they, in principle, continue to hold the mountains. why dig in? when the enemy is surrounded by the building, the words of a ukrainian military analyst are quoted, while on the bank they continue to pretend that everything is fine the retreat for artyom, which they call a regrouping something like this sergey, the speaker of the eastern group, explained the situation in the city, and the truth is , some other officers. reptile heights retreat for artyom in ska is explained differently in an interview with the walster journal. they recognized that a number of divisions. including from the most prepared, they were defeated as a result of the battles, they will go out. in addition, high losses of the armed forces of ukraine can disrupt the pla

bakhmut, a rather tense situation. about this yesterday in the evening address volodymyr zaly-zelensky spoke to the ukrainians and went ere to bakhmut or bakhmut oleksandr syrsky. how do you assess the current situation around bakhmut? it is a steadily tense situation, but we know the statements of putin and the leaders of the so-called dpr and lpr that it is necessary to go there by march 1, today, march 1, we had to go to the administrative borders and all these plans that they constantly announce that bakhmut will fall and we will finally get control only over this city, and we will also go to kramatorsk , slovyansk and other cities that are within of the administrative borders of donetsk and luhansk regions well, so far the conversation is only about bakhmut , now it is in a semi-besieged state , so it is true there, well, these banal words, but are they like that or are there heavy battles going on there they they well it did not work out, but they control the road m-03 which connects the constantines with bakhmut, they have already left 5 km south of the e of the temporary ravine, well, there is also a berry from
