will come to him and then it will be too late, but the people of mariupol , most of them tried to unite around us around the core of the defense of mariupol and to make some contribution, the police tried to master this chaos, everyone worked, everyone worked to the maximum, but it was quite difficult. i remember that is, i personally worked with the national police. i remember these boys and girls who came from of the first calls, who helped to evacuate, provided first aid to wounded civilians. i remember their eyes and their trembling . i tried to cheer them up. people, which units fought near chernihiv near kyiv, that is, the first three days we simply received aviators from above, we received constant shelling or growing artillery, there were no opponents yet, and these first three days were the most difficult. we were afraid in mariupol that kyiv was falling, god forbid some kind of peace treaty will be signed and we will simply be handed over, but we didn't have time , you know, to give in to these experiences , to give in to this fear, we had to do our job as quickly as possible, for almost three months you held the def

come right to him, then it will be too late, but the people of mariupol, most of them tried to unite around us around the core of the defensef mariupol and make some contribution, the police tried to master this chaos, everyone worked, everyone worked to the maximum but it was quite difficult , i remember yatayu that is, i personally worked with the national police. i remember these boys and girls who arrived from the first calls, who helped to evacuate and provided first aid to wounded civilians. i remember their eyes and their trembling . i tried to cheer them up . i informed them, already drunk, of the combat successes that had already been achieved at that time. there were no enemies yet, and these first three days were the most difficult. we were afraid in mariupol that kyiv would fall. god forbid , some kind of peace treaty would be signed and we would simply be handed over, but we didn't have time, you know, to give in to these feelings, to give in because of this fear, we had to do our work as quickly as possible. for almost three months, you held the defense of mariupol, you together with your comrades defended thi

denis prokopenko , who commanded the defense of mariupol, and our headquarters in azov, which commandshe entire the defense of mariupol did what they did with minimal losses at that time, if you look at how we are completely surrounded without naval artillery , aviation, etc., and the enemy - all this was our personnel. yes, he is in captivity, but he is still alive. i hope that he comes back alive in some parts, we have completed even those tasks that were not set for us and maintained its personnel, this personnel will continue to continue, this is a very important resource and it will continue to win this war. principles well, in no case should this be allowed, that if azov was standing in mariupol, then azov must release him . no, it is, god forbid, that you will have such a commander among you, so it is very important to take bakhmut and go to soledar and means wagner there should be a crash, but go in and take full military decision-making, well, the tactical meaning of bahmut, yes, well, my personal opinion, well, i'm not at the same level . that's it. by the way, about the ques

i was in in principle, we had a plan for the defense of mariupol, in the event of a full-scale armed act according to a certain plan, and in principle, before the official address of the aggressor president, artillery training had already begun on the demarcation line, there was no such thing even that the period of the shykiv offensive operation and in principle we understood we understood what would now begin well and therefore in principle we were already ready we were resting we knew that it was possible the last minutes seconds of our hours of sleep and after the first rockets, we simply dissolved in the city, took up our positions and began working to prepare the city for defense, because the main problem was that we were not given access to the critical infrastructure of the city. until the very beginning of the invasion, we did not even have access to engineering works, because most of the - there, the fields belonged to farmers and the city administration for some reason already held, held this permission to carry out engineering works, therefore, with the first invasion of

on the ugledar direction thus, under certain conditions , the defense of bakhmut can be compared with the defense of the surrounded mariupolefense of mariupol led to the fact that the enemy lost his combat potential to such an extent that he was unable to continue operations towards odesa . to be considered in approximately the same context, given that the extremely large number of its own units were deployed, the russian army is simply physically unable to develop an offensive in the limansky and kharkiv directions. thus, the meaning of defense and bahmut is to keep as many russian troops as possible troops and destroy as many russian troops as possible in order to prevent the adversary from expanding the geography of its offensive operations and to prepare the prerequisites for the transition to the offensive of already ukrainian forces, that is, certain there are parallels in the western press. at the same time, they write that a turning point is coming in russia's war against ukraine. do you agree with this? and this is also a relatively recent situation , because it must be understood that russia, having a certain pot

their propaganda picture there, see how we take care of mariupol, rebuild it, and use it in our own in the interests of the military, that is, in defensere the two goals they are using at this moment, said the mayor of mariupol, vadym boychenko, who wants to remind once again that russia committed the most brutal crime on the territory of mariupol, destroying 50% of the residential area fund, that is, 1,300 apartment sectors in these buildings no longer exist today, russia is massively removing the traces of war crimes, he writes about the fact that the russians are dismantling these houses along with the bodies of the residents who are in them, not even without burying these bodies. thank you, dmytro, one more question what exploded in mariupol in recent days, there is information very briefly, please. i am always cautious about the information that is happening there in mariupol, well, regarding some cases there, because er, at er, as they say, pavlo does not like silence er it was loud, accordingly, the personnel of the equipment, do they have any losses, or is it more of a psychological effect, well, look, the losses are because th

national military mythology that is based on such cases and we can if we talk now about the defense of mariupolwe should not and do not need to compare it with the defense of sevastopol, or the prohibition of dunkirk, or with the defense of german fortress cities, this is already a historical political ideological brand and all subsequent military historians descriptive well i hope not so many wars of the future will be compared to the defense of steel in extremely difficult political conditions, extremely difficult geographical conditions, under the conditions of complete superiority in the air, but the fact that ukrainian soldiers , border guards, armed forces, national guard of azov , everyone, whoever was there they withstood that blow and they uh well i personally think that they didn't surrender they just stopped resisting well excuse the pun well they actually received an order to surrender because they were convinced that they were ready to stand the last and until this order came, they did not surrender the line of defense and their object . so we understand that this is really an exam

that they were carrying out orders and going beyond growth glory to ukraine 86 days of the defense of mariupolher military leadership gave an order to preserve the life and health of the soldiers of the garrison and stop the defense of the city photos of the exit were growing, i did not see him, the only thing is that the red cross confirmed that they recorded him on the way out of australia and everything after that in connection there was no national information bureau in the red cross, the headquarters confirmed that he was a prisoner, then the terrorist attack happened in elenivka, and the next day, the 30th , i saw him in the lists of the dead at the moment, the bodies are green, although they brought them here, the relatives are waiting for dna confirmation, but i still believe that there will be no confirmation. and he is alive , and then in one box where there are blue christmas trees . now we are going to box for a lyrical friend who is still here with us is in captivity and in principle we will collect it as standard, then it starts with a backpack , which is placed in order to then

i say well, it was and it was nothing to worry about, well, 2014, 9 years wars february 24 defense of mariupol left work now front all time for extra reflections, that is, there are moments when you can look back and say oh, and there is a time to put your thoughts in order . yes, if there are any experiences . i will do this and have a certain time for this, but there are more important matters, the state has fulfilled all its obligations towards us in relation to rehabilitation, yes. well, i just want to say one more thing about self-pity . now you have no right and there is no time, the time will be after the end of the war. when we will win now, there is no time. simply , no one has the right. everyone must now have duties to the state, first of all, so that later they can ask. and what did the state do? for me, the state will do it for you, then when you do something for the state, and now we must win the war, we must not quarrel, we must not enter into any political games, the military must fight in general, although there is a certain practice among people who simply we were intoxicated

and today i want to say the main thing is that the defense of mariupol lasted 86 days, and thanking ourthis defense, what they gave, they gave two very important things, firstly, that they gave time for of the state of ukraine, to prepare the troops, to prepare the cities in order to restrain this enemy, and the second very important component . i talked with other commanders, uh, this experience that they gained during the war is a component that gave faith that this horde that is moving towards our state of ukraine can be beaten when there are a thousand of you and there are 15,000 of them, they can be beaten and they were beaten near mariupol, they made several assaults, there were more than 10, but the guys buried more than 10,000 of them there, also near mariupol, and this gave faith to our armed forces of ukraine and other units that this horde we can destroy and that's why we lasted a year thanks to the heroic feat and heroes of the defenders of mariupol well, maybe this is the last or penultimate question, or maybe a group of questions depends, er, mr. mayor, look at what worrie

of the dpr were recorded last night, residents say that the air defense system was activated in the sky , characteristic traces of the work of air defense were heard and visible , the head of mariupolones were recorded over the city last night. uh, the air defense system worked reliably, but nonetheless. these characteristic sounds of the air defense operation were heard on the territory of several cities at once, and donetsk , mining harcisses and debaltseve, unfortunately, did not go without destruction. one of the fired hammer missiles hit the sports the complex of the city of debaltseve and significant destruction, fortunately. there were no casualties. at this moment on the territory of the sports complex. there were no people just going on and artillery shelling, at least. makeevka gorlovka were exposed. and this night , massive attacks are aware of the destruction in gorlovka, a hail projectile hit directly on the colony, kalininsky district. donetsk also partially suffered as a result of night shelling , we can state that after a relative calm. donetsk people's republic. again, is under massive rocket and artillery fire on local telegram channels and the media, the authorit

delay creating even for mariupol in the 22nd year it became a strategic task that we were able to repulse more than 20 km of our territory, to create three more lines of defensewhat we were able to hold mariupol for so long, if we were on the same borders as before this operation, the enemy is simply the east of the three parties would have flown into mariupol without the raids. and so we had a chance, we had three lines of defense that held and what can you, mr. major, say about the russians, the enemies of ukraine, the occupiers, with whom you quite often came face to face, that is, what can you say about them because now, in the ukrainian media, there is quite a common and widespread opinion that there are mobic objects, they are called differently there, well , in order to actually devalue them and say that they are nobody at all, and they are not called the russian army and russian fighters the armies with which you fought since 2014, well, in fact, a third of your life was spent in the war. and what can you say about the russians, as well as about the soldiers? well, you know , face to face, this is no longer such a war. often mostly those who were late

turbulent night in the donetsk people's republic, air defense systems were working in the sky today on the territory of the entire people 's republic, near mariupol latest news, as the head of the city administration reports, two unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles were recorded by all air defense worked reliably now, the number of missiles fired according to the preliminary version of hummers is specified in detail at midnight by residents of several cities at once and in donetsk in mariupol . e, air defense that is, we can say with confidence that there was such a fairly massive shelling of e-rockets on the territory of the donetsk people 's republic. it is known that in debaltseve a rocket destroyed a sports complex, an empty sports complex, in which at that moment, thank god there were no people. where were they aiming? now? eh, it's not clear. at the moment, uh, information is also coming in about destruction as a result of hail shelling , uh, makiivka gorlovka, kalininsky district. donetsk were shelled. it is known that in gorlovka, for example, hmm, one of the hailstones landed right in the colony. uh, there is significant damage, also i

-what actions are taking place inside russia, inside crimea , in the areas of melitopol or mariupol. along their line of defense, everything that hits fortified areas where they feel stability, destroying it, all this is valuable for us and that is why the general staff wants to have longer-range weapons, but if they cannot get them , they must look for other alternative methods. you saw what started after the operation of the drone in sevastopol. properly. therefore, we should continue to work on what we in the west call a deep attack. such an attack is carried out not only by missiles, it is carried out by all methods at your disposal, because the value of a deep attack extremely large you consider targets sometimes you can destroy a critical target because deep attack requires a separate level of thinking since we probably do n't even use half of our special forces properly they are often misused as infantry and not as a deep attack tool i believe that in this area we can still do a lot. thank you, dear mr. colonel, for this honest conversation on the air of the espresso tv channel. glory to ukraine got save

changes, therefore , any actions inside russia inside crimea in the areas of melitopol or mariupol along lines of their defense, all that i and along the fortified areas where they feel stability, destroying it, all this is valuable for us , and that is why the general staff wants to have longer-range weapons, but if they cannot get such weapons, then they must look for other alternative ways, you saw what started after the operation of the drone in sevastopol, it caused real hysteria because it showed that the russian navy is weak and that they are not doing their job properly. therefore , we should continue to work on what we in the west we call it a deep attack, such an attack is not only carried out by missiles, it is carried out by all the methods that are at your disposal, because the value of a deep attack is extremely high, you consider the targets, sometimes you can destroy a critical target, therefore , a separate level of thinking is necessary to carry out a deep attack, since we most likely do not use even half of our special forces properly they are often misused as infantry not as deep attack too

to the skilful actions of the ukrainian defense forces, first in the framework of the defense, then a counter-offensive parallel to the south continued . the battle for mariupolsted for three months, the russians razed the city to the ground, but the indomitable defenders of azostal all this time shackled the most capable russian troops, quite likely that the front line on this part of the front, the russian-ukrainian formation was supposed to pass along the dnieper, respectively , the russians would cross the left bank of the dnieper in the zaporozhye region, respectively, because they could go to the area of ​​the city of dnipro, then in the most difficult spring months of the war, the defenders completed two tasks, stopped the enemy and created the conditions for the next step . step forward in the summer. and already after that the offensive on kherson began. on november 11 , ukrainian flags returned there. even then , ukrainians proved to their western partners that they are capable not only of resisting, but also of winning. ukrainians are indomitable and incredibly brave, so now they say about us in the world the courage and ingenuity of the national u

, therefore, any actions inside russia, inside the crimea , in the areas of melitopol or mariupol, along the line of their defenseall that i and along the fortified areas where they feel stability destroying all this is valuable for us and that is why the general staff wants to have longer-range weapons, but if they cannot get such weapons, then they must look for other alternative ways, you saw what started after the operation of the drone in this caused real hysteria in sevastopol because it showed that the russian navy is weak and that they are not doing their job properly . that is why we should continue to work on what we in the west call a depth attack. such an attack is carried out not only by missiles, it is carried out by all the methods at your disposal the value of deep attack is extremely high you hit targets sometimes you can destroy a critical target so deep attack requires a separate level of thinking since we most likely don't we use even half of our special forces properly they are often misused as infantry and not as a deep attack tool so i believe that in this area we can still do a lot thank y

received about 10 battalion tactical groups of the enemy, which were actually hidden by the actions around mariupol. at this time , it was just that the eastern defenses were being built, and an understanding was being formed of how we could optimally create defensive lines. with defense on other sections and i will very briefly ask if it is possible to say that the tying up of native forces near mariupol did not give the enemy the opportunity to advance, say, on zaporizhzhia. so this is an absolutely correct conclusion, because the plans of the enemy concerned zaporizhzhia and the dnipro, that is, the binding of fish-capable forces on this the area really made it impossible for these previous plans of the enemy to advance to other areas so that we understood the heroism of the defenders of mariupol, including azov and the 36th brigade and the police and the teroborona, well, actually, in the very fact that they held this enemy by the throat is right there for him to fall apart in the southeast of our country. well, about today's events, about the current time, let's talk about bakhmut. where the most intense battles took place during the week, the de
