oleksandr let's first try to discuss the possibility of vladimir putin's trip to the donbas. by the way, he didn't go to the south of ukraine. what was the purpose of this trip to consolidate the fact that russia will not give up the donbas? well, i think that they will use this trip for their media purposes , that is, for russian domestic it seems to the electorate already yesterday that gold is the director of the national guard. he came to the lpr, took pictures there with his soldiers, handed out orders, well, of course it will be russian pr, that is, it is necessary if it is not possible to on the battlefield, it is necessary to at least show on tv that everything is fine. oleksandr as , ukrainian forces can reach the russian dictator and destroy him, eliminate him while he is present in donbas. well, let's put it this way. if putin really appears in this territory, then most likely it will be a war zone. why, because vladimir putin is known for being a coward, he does not appear where there is a real threat. for his life and therefore i do not rule out what if and there

within a few weeks expectedly led to even more bloody battles on the remaining directions are the donbasealities, this time we will talk with the fighters who are fighting in the new conditions, we will discuss the points where the occupying army is trying to advance, and we will also learn about the possible development of the war on this video episodes of a full-scale war with russia, the footage was shot by a ukrainian tanker with the callsigns iron from the 30th mechanized brigade in the summer, this is donbas and then battles, collecting trophies in the kharkiv region, later the use of a trophy t-72 in short-term battles and a victory in a tank duel, the first time the gunfire did not hit us he shot, he didn't hit, and we destroyed the second one, you see the second passport, yes , he defeated the tank doors, they happen to us once. it was in my life that imen was shot at a tank. positions literally all seconds 3-4 have already fired everything fired we roll back at this time and it is just loading the projectile passed it back we leave back fired back recoil plus recoil we shoot mo

these were the donbas realities. my name is yehor loginov. see you on the day of the heroic resistance of the ukrainian people to the russian invaders. for your attention news on espresso anzhelika sezonenko works in the studio russian invaders shelled the city of semenivka in the chernihiv region it is known about one of the dead, it was reported in the office of the president in the settlement recorded three arrivals, the electricity went out, the russians were probably fighting with barrel artillery. in addition, in the region against, air defense shot down an enemy drone orlan and two people were killed, two more were injured, and these are the consequences of the shelling of the village of katerynivka in the kharkiv region, the deputy head of the president's office, kyrylo tymoshenko , said . also added that emergency services are working on the spot, information about the destruction and victims is being clarified, the tragedy in the kharkiv region , in the village of borschova, a man and a woman were going to the forest behind the chri

good morning. dear, what is the current situation in donbas, you see now. the situation is difficult, heavy fighting continues , uh, it doesn’t stop, and artillery rocket fire even the enemy uses cruise missiles, including on civilians. well , last night, there were powerful strikes. of course, what can’t be said where is the location, after all, different, but now uh, in donetsk region, around bakhmut and other uh, populated areas, these are the fiercest, now the fighting is going on. here in kharkiv oblast, oleksandr skoryk says -10 that the local population is the same in donbas -11 and to my surprise, the local population really remains even in those places where the most powerful battles are going on, as soon as the cannonade stops, people start coming out from somewhere and they are there a real humanitarian crisis, civilians are asking the military for help and we have to evacuate wounded civilians in our intensive care units. i say that i always don't understand why we stay where there are no normal conditions for life, but still mostly older people

will not give up donbas.poses , that is, for the russian domestic electorate , it seems like yesterday that gold is the director of the national guard he came to the lpr, took pictures there with his soldiers, handed out orders, well, of course, it will be russian pr, that is, if something goes wrong on the battlefield, then at least it should be shown on tv that everything is fine, oleksandr , the armed forces of ukraine can get to the russian dictator and destroy him eliminate while he is present in donbas well, let's put it this way , first of all, congratulations. putin some site where there will be a green fund, there won't be anything else, there won't be representatives of its security guard who will perform certain roles, but it won't be directly in the combat zone where there could really be a risk that this location could fall into some far-fetched and high-precision ammunition, well this is not the same in my opinion, but for putin, but the format of his actions. and tell me, let’s still try to tal

zelensky called a fortress and here in donbas you protect the language of ukraine because after donbasthis in other towns in other towns of our state, therefore on your shoulders the protection of not donbas, the protection of all ukraine, i wish you only the strength with which you live and win now, please keep and its stability, because history remembers only the victors, and no matter how hard the enemy tries to advance in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions, our military forces do not allow the enemy to break through, the occupiers do not succeed in improving the tactical position in the kupyan and in the lyman direction, the general staff of the armed forces assures. in other directions, the russians are defending themselves , pouring fire on the positions of the ukrainian military and civilian objects along the contact line, the enemy is firing tanks and all types of artillery at andriivka, vovchansk and soledar, the enemy made 10 air and four missile strikes, our military responded powerfully and accurately, the aviation of the defense force of ukraine during the day struck 10 str

at the same time, those who are waiting for the liberation of donbas from ukraine the army is now inonstant danger about what outcome of the war awaits ukrainian citizens who have been under russian occupation in donbas for 9 years. my colleague sashko shevchenko asked donetsk of a journalist and a former prisoner, the torture isolation of stanislav asev, listen. do you see any threats because of how the integration of people who spent 9 years under occupation for the national security of ukraine, in particular, will take place in donbas, there are undoubtedly many people who have been waiting and still they are waiting for russia to- to well, let's say yes, yes , forever, so that the territory of the russian federation remains there. is this the territory that is currently annexed and did not remain part of it, so working with these people is the main challenge for the national of security and here there are many questions, first of all about their right to vote, because today these people have the opportunity, if we liberate these territories tomorrow, they will have the opportunit

this was the reality of donbas. my name is roman pagulych. see you soon.a michno. nothing is known about the fate of this girl for about 7 months . unfortunately , and travel details are also a lie, i only know that the child lived in the city of lysychansk in the luhansk region, it is likely that nastya was there with her mother, contact with them was cut off at the end of april, in july the city completely moved under the control of the occupiers, did the family manage to leave somewhere or are they still there? but they simply cannot report something about themselves, perhaps because of a lack of communication, i don't know, so i am asking especially the residents of lysychansk, who may be seeing me now on social networks, look carefully at anastasia's photo, she has light blond hair and dark eyes, the girl looks maybe a little older than 9 years old, if anyone has seen her or knows where she might be now, don't delay, call us on the magnolia children's search hotline at short number 116,000 calls from any mobile operator are free or write to the chat b

and protect donbas that this is stated in the next summary of this institute's analysis . a direct connection between the the protection of donbas itself, yes, they said that we will completely liberate the territories of the so-called technonovations and the electoral support of putin in the middle of russia, this is already how i treat you as a politician, i ask you questions, i ask everything that is on the minds of russians, i am already trying not all my friends who were there they are already lost to me. i don't understand the logic of the hospital. well, they don't believe in that god, probably only putin, that's why they can walk whatever they want, you're even heavy, there are a lot of them, as more and more arrive, as i'm sure i'll be still waves of mobilization in russia can be even more powerful. but i don't see the possibility of how they can significantly change the situation at the front. because our army is very powerful. we have a lot of qualified animals who came during these 10 months of war. there are a lot of people who will come to train artillerymen

at the same time, if you count the complete capture of donbas in 4 days , i have the feeling that this year did not happen. well, it did not happen this year. so it was just winter and winter has come again and that's all, but in the meantime, somehow , somehow, the days and nights passed, but the feeling that we lived this year, uh, it's gone . they live a week, how do people live a day, such a holiday muscovites have arranged, now we will be celebrating the new year all year round, well, you know, the christmas tree is standing, firecrackers are clapping, is that normal? yes , it's quite fun, well, look, oleksandr doroshenko, a deputy of the kharkiv regional council , an officer of the national guard, somewhere under the criminal law, i am i understand, it is included in us, oleksandr, good morning. good morning, tell me what your situation is, what news you have. can you share closer to the enemy, to the position, not always everything works out well, they were well prepared. they mined a lot of territory on the approaches to crimea. there will be and as they say in our country that

thank you to everyone who protects the ukrainian donbas, to everyone who protects our kharkiv region, to everyone who holds our south, who protects our border. and by the way, thank you to those border guards who, together with all the defense forces, beat the enemy at the front. thank you to the soldiers of the belgorod-dniester and mukachevo border detachments. dear ukrainians , there are only two days left this year, maybe the enemy. in the dark, maybe the occupiers are planning to make us suffer with another blow to our cities, but if they don't plan there, we know one thing about ourselves, we will persevere, we will definitely drive them out without a doubt, and they will not be punished for this a terrible war to the maximum, i thank everyone who defends our state. thank you to everyone who fights for our independence. glory to ukraine. this was a traditional video address of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi. meanwhile, many russian military helicopters were spotted over the occupied berdyansk. the berdyansk city council reports this on its telegram channel. there t

say coincides with the ukrainian man yes, and one of them was one of the first to start a war in donbas not a moral person , but she is beautiful. why did he really express his er in such statements that simply because he really risks his own skin when he goes to the same crimea to the donbas er, he conducts military operations there in slavic he really does it at his own risk life, why do we think that he is not in it? i think that i am him for what day i agree with the fact that he is sincere and he is an open enemy of ukraine . but he was returned from donbas so quickly. yes, he actually did not take part in this company, yes , the military. excuse me. i have a version that he killed everyone there with his washing because of this, this is natural. but can a person even if he is er, it reflects the protest mood, or maybe it is in russia so it's easy to turn away and openly criticize putin in essence what he is doing he has desacralized putin he systematically eats away at his authority in the country and on the international arena yes and actually he is duplicated by the so-called wa

under control, because he has already declared that donbas is russia, so he needs donbas to be russia in order to make accusations that we are attacking for russia, the logic here is clear. if it captures the entire donbas, it will have many more people, and there will also be time due to a strategic pause, because the west is slowly supplying weapons, slowly producing ammunition, and ukraine, in fact, has not yet started to produce its own weapons and equipment the more time he gets the longer he will be able to continue the war so for the west nato the european union is very important to understand that they need to move fast acting fast they reduce putin's ability to drag this war out so speed is the most important thing at the moment speed and aggressiveness of actions are the two most important things and the west can help with this or worsen the situation by moving at such a slow pace forgive me but we need tanks good tanks and we need them as soon as possible, all the arguments that the ukrainians will not be able to master them, control them or take care of them are simply rid

and of course, donbas was attacked by a swarm of drones. found itself in a blackout and still remains without power . we will show what is happening in the city a little later in the issue. well, for now, about what is happening in donbas, the most difficult situation is in the bakhmut and avdiiv directions russian troops do not stop attacking our defense line there, but without success, bakhmut itself has actually been destroyed, and this is not the only city in ruins in the east. my colleague ihor levenok returned from sviatohirsk sviatohirsk here and you can still hear the frontal cannonade very well . but the city is slowly getting better. peaceful life is returning. people even electricity, however, mines are still dangerous here, the town is growing because of the war, and now there is an attack here. well, no one went here, they did not clear mines with him, who has a lot of things, there is also a projectile sticking out, unexploded shells and behind the house there is so much good here, there are a lot of pyrotechnics from the emergency services working non-stop, but the end

and about to unite with donbas, they are currently gathering large potential forces and it looks like they will be ready at the turn of january and february. they are preparing to be able to act by then, i estimate that there will be several dozen between 60 and 70 combat battalions of groups is a lot. russians have strategic freedom, why don't they have to guard their northern borders and their southern borders with you, because they know that you will not cross borders, whether from kyiv or zhytomyr , you will not cross over to russia, they are convinced of that why do they create those forces with such freedom and a sense of security, meanwhile you have to keep troops from along the border from poland along the entire northern border on the front as far as kherson and this is more than 1200 km, so you have a huge potential at the front and guard the northern borders with that potential from where the attack could come, so i believe that you should also create forces in order to be ready to repel the attack for which the russians are probably preparing or will strike from belarus. i

when i come back from donbas, i don't look that great. woman, i want to be attractive, like before the war. so i make an effort to look nice. reporter: when you see fingers like mine, then for you, they're dirty? ira: they're normal. manicures are a little part of my old life before the war that i want to hold onto. when i have my nails done, i feel a bit more normal. reporter: this war is so overwhelming that the little things like fingernails seem all the more important. before the war, ira was an assistant film director. but for now, she's making the rounds between the frontline and kyiv. a few days later, anya and ira are paying a visit to a completely different world -- a nail studio. ira: the nail studio is like a girls' club. we meet up here. and we ask each other what's going on, and talk with the manicurist. it's a distraction from day-to-day life. it's a magical world. reporter: is the work here a way to forget the war? inna: yes, sometimes. you zone out of reality for a moment and come back a bit later. reporter: in russian, th

grids, the head of the military administration of the zolochiv village, viktor kovalenko, said that donbas bakhmut remains a no-nonsense area of ​​the front. soledar maryinka kreminna spoke about these key areas in his evening address. there is no living place left, the occupiers actually destroyed bakhmut, another city of donbass, which the russian army turned into sawn-off ruins, i thank all our heroes, everyone to the soldiers and commanders who hold the front in these directions, repulse attacks and inflict significant losses on the enemy in response to the hell that entered ukraine under the russian flag, the threat of missile strikes on critical infrastructure has not disappeared . and further in the samara region, men began to be actively served with summonses; an increase in the number of russian of mobilized servicemen in the military commissariats of the gomel region, the data on conscripts are being verified. i would like to remind you that in belarus , joint russian-belarusian exercises are currently taking place, at the same time, the ukrainian general staff does not see any s

nothing like this was and will never be in donbas.fore this is and warnings, which means that we should not do worse there, in fact, our position simply does not exist. well, all the more so because i repeat myself once again, and for whom, that is, the usa, canada, germany, france, great britain, and there is almost the entire european union, almost all of nato, well, it is all countries who have already determined what to kosovo, at the same time ukraine supports whom we are trying to convince russia serbia to belarus north korea syria in gokov what are we trying to convince oleksia considering you your powerful international experience i wanted to clarify that a couple of minutes ago we we finished the conversation with the former passer of ukraine in the united states, valery chalem, yes, the issue of tanks is on the agenda , and general luzhnyy talks about it, and not only him, our military needs tanks, there is a hitch, there is some barrier that hangs on this issue, we can even say more specifically, we we need not just some ta

, that is, it is not about preparation for the next actions of the enemy that are taking place in donbas, well, this is just a paraphrase of the front joint of the armed forces of the russian federation in senseless attacks on the fortified positions of the armed forces of ukraine , it is unlikely that something serious and large-scale can be carried out there, especially to do it covertly so that we do not see it and do not expect it luhansk oblast has such an opportunity. the enemy has it, but he cannot advise on any adequate measures to stop the progress of the united defense forces of ukraine in the direction of criminalization. it looks like an offensive as far as belarus is concerned, in belarus it is in the second and the rifle division of the armed forces of the russian federation on five training grounds of a group of about 12,000 people in order to carry out serious offensive actions, this is clearly not enough . belarus has once again left the topic of taking part in aggression against ukraine, although he refuses to contribute to the territory , airfields, airspace, provide m

in our stronghold in the east of ukraine in the donbas.ay and night, but it stands. applause last year, 70,000 people left there in the city, and now only few... every inch of that land is soaked in blood, roaring guns, sounding every hour, trenches in the donbas changing several times a day in fierce combat, and even hand fighting, but the ukrainian donbas stands. �* �* ,, applause russians use everything, everything they have against our beautiful cities. they have an advantage in artillery and ammunition, they have much more missiles and planes than we ever had. it's true, but our defence forces stand. and we all are proud of them. the russians' tactic is primitive. they burn down and destroy everything they see. they sent thugs to the front lines. they sent conflicts to the war. —— convicts. they sent everything against us, in the battle of the bold, similarly. just like the brave american soldiers which tell their lines and fought back hitler's forces during the christmas of191lll. brave ukrainian soldiers are doing the same to putin'

links, that is, it is not about preparing for the next actions of the enemy that take place in the donbasthis is just a paraphrase of the personal joint of the armed forces of the russian federation in senseless attacks on the fortified positions of the armed forces of ukraine , it is unlikely that something serious and large-scale can be carried out there, especially to do it covertly in order to we did not see this and did not expect such an opportunity in luhansk region. the enemy has it, but he cannot advise us to take any adequate measures to stop the advance of the united defense force of ukraine in the direction of the flintlock. that is, there is something there. no , it is very similar to an offensive that concerns belarus in belarus is in the second and the rifle division of the armed forces of the russian federation on five training grounds of the e-e group somewhere around 12,000 people in order to carry out serious offensive actions, this is clearly not enough. belarus has once again left topics to take part in the aggression against ukraine although he refuses to contribute

despite the fact that the same putin promised to come to donbas to the mobilized russian soldiers and support them from that side, that is, from the territory that is now located in russian, on the other hand, yesterday vladimir putin drove over the crimean bridge. i don't know if it was putin or if it was some kind of his double on duty, but at least he tried to inspect the kerch bridge, the crimean bridge and what it looks like after the explosion was carried out there the reaction we observed of that putin who was on the crimean bridge, it was clear that he was almost seeing the crimean bridge for the first time and was very happy because now the restoration work is underway, instead valeriy the diligent commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine also addressed the servicemen and officers of the armed forces of ukraine today and said the words that those who, with weapons in their hands, will not defend the ukrainian state now fight for our freedom and independence , obviously want and wanted to hear more precisely, who do i think about on the day of the armed forces of ukra

he is now in direct contact with us from donbas and is ready to tell us about the situation kostiantyn, i am very glad to see you alive, i know that it is difficult to tell what the current situation is on the front lines. greetings elena. well, we can traditionally say that the east remains the hottest point on the map of hostilities in ukraine and the ukrainian military today there were really not enough loud celebrations, but even in spite of this , they did not remain without surprises today, as you already said in the studio today to congratulate them - the president came to donetsk and together with the commander of the armed forces, they honored the most heroic fighters, the president presented state awards, thanked them for their courage and emphasized who believes that the next meeting will take place in the ukrainian donetsk or luhansk and is sure that even in the ukrainian crimea in the meantime , fighters were awarded in the hottest direction of bakhmut, in particular, with an award for saving life from the commander of the armed forces of ukraine valery zaluzhnyi was award

, because that donbas is as important to you as silesia or the schlönd economic and industrial centeryou, so the russians are very they would like to wrest donbas, but i believe that they will not succeed. meanwhile , i rule out an attack on kyiv, because the russians have already been defeated by a cat near kyiv once . in the east, we understand that tanks are a tool for counterattack or offensive. well, actually, now we need tanks, but the famous abrams have not yet arrived in ukraine, thank god and the polish government . to convince the americans to convince nato that you need tanks of such a generation as the abrams leopard cheek and two black panthers i think they are needed now the situation is that the russians are restoring their capabilities the power of the russian army it is recovering, it is growing, it is necessary to help increase aid for ukraine, it is necessary to give ukrainians more new technology, more new technology, perhaps its abrams, which will allow to fight effectively against the russian t-90, this is an urgent need and a decision should be made as soon as p

all those still single people who are waiting for putin to liberate someone in donbas, russian agents and so on he will never liberate here, he will destroy, destroy ukrainian statehood, identity , and he does not need to destroy it in russia. because putin is fulfilling his internal tasks through the wagnerites, he is emptying russian prisons, because we see russians on this part of the front russians value equipment and ammunition more than their people, that's what makes the war between our army and theirs different, that for us a person remains a value even here in this meat grinder, but for the russians, it's not people at all, that is, they throw in them, they go to the open growth, this is there will be landings, no one will pick them up, they through their advanced units , through the jailers, probe where it is possible to pass, then they throw in better assault groups , there can be no strategic successes here because, well, we remember them how long do they take to bakhmut? i tell me, this reminds me of the story of konotop in 1659. at that time, too, a huge russian armada w

is like a political scientist and a military serviceman two in one, why putin announced a trip to donbass trip? well, i don't know, he forces us to keep extra reserves of packages. cases, small, yes, very small, such resin, small, seis, my brothers advised not to port nitrate, a big black bag, take three small ones, we serve in parts, this is a section. well, this is a week. i don’t believe that he will come to donbass. we see that he is afraid to travel around russia because he is sitting at this long table. well, where can he go to the territory when theoretically he can fly in my opinion as a vile and cruel man, this is his psychological portrait. he is also a pathological coward, that is, for his own safety he is terribly afraid. you know the kymersen. kim jong-un mentioned that they were all pathologically afraid, for example, even getting on a plane, they traveled on armored trains, yes, the same stalin, who was afraid to let the plane cover, traveled about no, no, trains, well, how is there such a thing? well, it’s just russian propaganda when putin secretly meets with fake soldie

the whole world about the ukrainians at the revolution of dignity, he was in the less hot spots of donbas in 2014, first a full-scale invasion. he serves in the armed forces of ukraine, he received several injuries. they even ask, but you are a soldier, you fought against invading troops, how can you be a journalist, i will say very simply, because these were good troops on my territory who came under literally under my doors that is, this is not an exaggeration in these shots , another espresso man ilya and vlash, after the stories and operational inclusions, he temporarily suspended work on the tv channel, instead, ilya plunged headlong into military service, now he promptly informs ukrainians about the successes of our military during the liberation of the occupied territories, the beginning of a full-scale the invasion of the russian federation into the territory of ukraine . to people, relevant information about important information, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening, what is happening,

groups for the support of mortars go eh that's why it's more difficult what was said before that donbasifferent, mr. oleksandr can finally confirm that it is clear that the defense forces are regularly working behind enemy lines from the last hit in alchevsk on the outskirts of luhansk irmino that's all i will remind you of the luhansk region after such successful training. do you feel that it is a little easier in terms of enemy artillery fire? no , honestly, i don’t feel it. well, as far as we know, they have artillery reserves. the russians have a lot of mortars, that's why specifically in our direction, what's less . maybe there's somewhere. we don't work every day, but if they start working. when we enter a position, they start to systematically cover the entrances to our positions with squares. therefore, to say that it is less, well less. maybe we are 24 hours a day at 7, but starting already in the morning at five o'clock , they can constantly. well, i can say that where we are, it is better not to even use flashlights at night uhu thank you oleksandr yes republican thank you mr

russians are told today that a special military operation is aimed at protecting the residents of donbasho are suffering from the nazis of ukraine, then the russians, of course , support such actions because they believe that russia is doing justice. well, 3 /4 turns out to believe, that is, a quarter obviously guesses and understands how the situation actually is, and that is why i say that in an artisanal way. unfortunately , it is absolutely impossible to convince these russians there in a matter of months, for this it really takes years and years, respectively, and the information policy of the corresponding education. of course, all this will begin after russia is defeated, after the regime there changes . the fact that we want to send your children to war and to be slaughtered. of course, few people support this, but they are not told that way. yes, they tell him that it is necessary to protect russia, which countries want to dismantle nato needs to protect the residents of donbas , who are being beaten and killed by ukrainian nazis, and that is why there is already support here. l

and alternative contacts of emergency help get ready now let's defeat the darkness together in the donbas fierce and long battles , but the armed forces of ukraine firmly defend our cities on the other hand, russia destroys civilian infrastructure, leaving no places where shelling would reach , the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, said this today in donbas, as in all previous weeks, brutal russian attacks continue, the occupiers attack everyone and everything they have, they cannot defeat our army and therefore they physically destroy every city and village so that there are no buildings, not even walls that can be used for any defense, the only way is to stop it, push it back step by step of russian terrorists from our ukrainian land is to continue the pressure on russia with attention to the clock at 2:15 and the activity of enemy aviation has been recorded near the borders of the eastern regions, an air alert is spreading and for now it is in the kharkiv donetsk dnipropetrovsk zaporizhzhia region, do you see the map on your screens, will it spread on the territory of the whol

's put someone, this is a situation between a conditional situation, if you take ukraine between donbasd you don't know if it will work or not, despite the fact that there is already a political crisis in the country that is, it is too dangerous. at this stage, if something were to be done, that is, it is impossible at the beginning, it is possible for them to do something and it turned out, well, now everything had to be coordinated . everyone is in place. everyone is in place . i would simply not recommend doing this, because with all our exercises we show the enemy that we are ready to meet them, so that they do not even think of coming here, because kapets will be with them, joint exercises of russian and belarusian troops will continue at least until the end of next week, at the same time , the military presence of the russian federation on the territory of belarus has been increasing since october, those mobilized from the country of the aggressor are actively undergoing training at training grounds, and the amount of equipment and ammunition being brought in is increasing . the p

disappeared at the front, that is, he did not go to kherson region, and it seems that he did not end up in donbas, especially what happened to him, it is not clear, well, it is the same now, actually, some actions, movements are taking place at the front. and what is this it was specific, we will find out there only in a few weeks from the joint general staff, so i, as a civilian, would also urge you as vaccine journalists to especially comment on where our army will go and what will happen on the front, oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political observer, an observer of the information resistance, was with us and we are moving on, says chernivtsi, the head of ukraine's parliamentary assembly of nato is in touch. congratulations, igor, well, first of all, you are discussed, after all, the results of the bucharest conference, nato, have we advanced or remained where there is, if you really look at things well, looking at what to evaluate, if we are talking about providing us with electricity and e-e assistance in restoring our energy structure, then we have definitely progressed like that if we are

well, it was important to visit there and see, we know that you were also in donbas. what impressions did you get? it is clear that the scale of the destruction there is terrible and we will not hide it in eight years, but they still suffered more than other regions of ukraine during the 8 years of the invasion of the russian federation, but it is interesting how the local population reacts, because we know that the east of ukraine, after all, had a different attitude and part of the population was pro-russian, is it still there, you know, i was not there this time, but i was last time, at the end of september, i was in izyum, which had just been liberated, because i must say that i was there in chernihiv, in these regions, i can say that, of course, consolidation and national awareness are connected, after seeing what they are doing. russians, the population is naturally more consolidated and has become nationally conscious, although it must be admitted that there are still different elements and even i heard on the street there, i did an interview, i remember the ma

in his evening video address, president volodymyr zelensky thanked the defenders of donbas, bakhmut, crime, other films in donbas, which now require maximum strength and concentration, the situation there is difficult, painful, the occupiers are spending all available to them . resources a these are significant resources to decide at least some promotion, i thank all our guys who stand in positions, stand firm and who still find opportunities not only to not lose anything, but to knock out the occupiers , minus them, and according to the data of the military-civilian administration in donetsk region, in bakhmut, which the enemy is storming every day, approximately 10,000 civilians remain from there, a special report of the social zabahmutka eastern suburbs of bahmutka , vladyslav's parents were killed there by enemy shelling, they are not going there, my son a local taxi driver volunteered to help the dead, where vlada regretted, the main thing was that vladyslav's parents were waiting for him there all his life, he repeatedly asked them to evacuate, but they refused because anu was

there are two scenarios of another attack by russia according to the first occupier will advance on donbas and belarus will divert the attention of the ukrainian military at the border, at the same time, according to the publication, minsk will only provoke our soldiers to buy time for the russians, the second scenario is if the belarusian army still decides to participate in the war, then they will probably go to kyiv and the russians will focus on donbas in this case, the occupiers could also strike in the west of ukraine to cut off the supply of western weapons. in the bakhmut and lyman directions. and in the south, they are forced to defend themselves. ihor romanenko , military expert, reserve lieutenant general, contact us. romanenko, good morning . good morning . today, what depends on the ability of russia to carry out any large-scale offensive actions in the foreseeable future from the level of combat potential , and this is characteristic in general when evaluating the grouping of troops and also factors that contribute or, on the contrary, hinder the fulfillment of the task of th

, kherson and crimea from russian troops, and further, such an operation will be carried out from donbasdon, taganrog, as well as cutting off and further already er, the destruction of the donetsk russian group later next year, most likely the russians will have one task to hold the front line in the part of the russian-ukrainian border along the borders of the year 91, that is, they are now, by the way, you can already see what they are preparing for now they are preparing certain incised lines, we see them, they even brag about it in some cases in the bryansk region, the kursk region, er, in the belgorod region. i think the same measures will be held in the voronezh region and in the rostov region, there are five regions that will border ukraine along the border in 1991. all that eh will be able to do next year is the russian army, but for this we need to go out somewhere on the border of the 91st year to spend at most by the month of may, since it is precisely in may that they most likely announce eh from january mobilization is not a falcon, two waves of mobilization will come out, u

, because that donbas is as important to you as silesia or słondske is economically and industriallycenter , therefore, the russians would very much like to wrest donbas, but i believe that they will not be able to do so, in the meantime, i rule out an attack on kyiv, because the russians have already been defeated once near kyiv by a cat, and they will not go for such a second time in order to be defeated again, so will make attempts to increase their capabilities in the east, we understand that tanks are a tool for counteroffensive or offensive well, actually, now we need tanks but we should, but the famous abrams have not yet reached ukraine, thank god and the polish government we received a polish crab from poland, but of course it is not an abrams although this is also a very important help, first of all, you need to convince the americans to convince nato that you need tanks of such a generation as the leopard abrams, two black panthers are necessary, i believe that they are necessary now the situation is that the russians are restoring their capabilities, the strength of the r

now we are guarding our northern border, we are liberating our ukrainian donbas, we are fighting fororizhzhia and for kharkiv, which will rise from the ruins, and we know that our victory close, because we are united by the territorial defense forces of the west, i decided that i would really sooner do more with a machine gun than with a microphone, at this moment they would shoot us once without a break from aggression in the lng, taking turns for four hours, i thought that ilya berezenko died for seconds, a ukrainian journalist who, after the full-scale invasion of russia, joins the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine and participates in the defense of kyiv region. later, in one of the most difficult directions of bachmut in donetsk region, he started working on the espresso tv channel as early as 2013. while studying at the university, he covered the events of the revolution of dignity and the russian aggression against ukraine well, i was one of the last passengers of the donetsk airport in general history. the donetsk moment of capture was filmed directly and broadcasted as the

as ukrainian forces battle russian troops in the donbas, mr.yy specifically mentioned the city of bakmut which has been the scene of fierce fighting and is urging all ukrainians to stay vigilant and be prepared for any possible russian attacks or provocations. cnn's matthew chance has been covering russia's war in ukraine since it began and he's got the footage to show it. he looks back on his experiences in europe's biggest conflict since world war ii. >> when the invasion first began, i was standing on top of the roof of a hotel in the center of kyiv, the ukrainian capital, basically on television having a conversation with a bunch of colleagues about how it was unlikely that vladimir putin even though he had built up tens of thousands of forces on the borders of ukraine to the east, how unlikely it was that he was going to take that step, cross the rubicon and launch a full scale invasion. it's on the hands of the ukrainians who resist. oh, i tell you what. i just heard a big bang right here behind me. and it was a really shocking experience

windows, eh, these apartments that were still closed they probably think that they have captured donbas forever, they even plan to capture even more, well, at least, speaking of the territories that they now de facto control, they plan to close many coal mines because they are unprofitable. well, they did them on profitable let's say so, but they plan to close them, is there anything known about such plans in the luhansk region and how much they really want to cut those mines for metal that can be stolen and close what remains, you know. well, they have such a policy everywhere where they occupied the territory, and it's a garnet and what emerges from the questions is what concerns severodonetsk, then if in the summer after the occupation there were such blasphemous statements about the resumption of work in severodonetsk, then it is already clear to everyone that in addition to cutting the technological equipment that is and more or less valuable to export to a related enterprise on the territory of russia, the most untenable in particular well, valuable equipment is imported and cut i

today's russian reactor is not the donbas joining russia russia joining the donbas there is a rallying point for all of vast russia in the donbass a sacred rallying point, this is saur. magila. let's just remember the history of this place of russian heroism and russian blood. i listen to vet ren, saur magil with the hand of the peace of wild herbs, here courage with battles passed the legend for us to the vekistan, the soldiers went with blood, and they were ship. i am hot-blooded a mile to breathe the height of your very first war it was a 1969 conflict in damansky, like kvass then it changed you then, what did you see there, what happened to you here here you went there alone returned with another or how i was a bohemian young man moreover , i was a franceur i left my military institute and left my house and left my friends. and maybe in protest. i left as a forester in the village, but damansky and koran happened . this is a few months. i was invited to a literary newspaper. they liked my colorful essays on russian toys in russian songs. i went there to domansky street, and suddenl

we need a resolution of the donbas issue as well.krainian sovereignty, no nato enlargement, defacto russian control over crimea, some kind of solution likeinsk two, some kind of autonomy, some solution for the donbas -- these are the four pieces that can save ukraine, spare russia, save the world from what is a growing disaster. this is why we need a pragmatic approach. juan: jeffrey sachs, if you can briey talk about -- we are hearing virtually every week of a new announcement of more u.s. military aid a economi aid to ukraine. how is this constant stream of weapons and buttressing of the ukrainian government either helping to end the war or or helping to prolong it? >> it is prolonging it, definitely. i think both sides miscalculated. putin calculated the initial invasion would push ukraine to the negotiating table and these political issues would be resolved. frankly, in march after the february invasion, there were gotiations. there were exchanges of documents. the turkish government said we are coming close to an agreement. both

thing here is that russia must withdraw from the entire ukrainian territory, from the east, from donbas, from crimea. and we see that er now there are certain er signals russia is no longer making nuclear threats and cannot attack because they do not have the power to do so but they are resorting to shelling of civilian infrastructure and we must take advantage of the moment er now so that in the spring they do not let's say we left crimea or belarus, but they want a pause now, they want a cease-fire, and we need to remember that maintaining the initiative of this push, which the ukrainian army now has, must be maintained. and only then will we be successful, and for the rest of the world, the aggressor hmm it is necessary to push out of the territory of ukraine, the whole world is united in this, and the most important aspect of all this is that ukraine achieves its territorial integrity, full sovereignty, this is the main principle of collective security, which is not necessary and which was created after the second world war and which is currently called into question, as maryana bod

destroying the russian occupier on our land in all directions, starting from the south and ending with donbas the kharkiv region, the special forces brigade named after ivan bohun participated in all offensive operations starting from september 6, when the operation to liberate the kharkiv region began, and also recently we liberated the city of kherson and the kherson region many of our brigades were awarded state honors and awards, but the main burden of this war today is undoubtedly the armed forces ukraine is carried by the ukrainian people so symbolically it has become that today is the 31st anniversary of the referendum on the declaration of state independence of ukraine, which took place on december 1, 1991. e of the long-term inspirer and head of the kyiv security writing form petrovych yatsenyuk greetings, i have a small gift for you, a plant petrovych, this is a name chevron, thank you and to you i would like us to start this forum with giving salute to the ukrainian army to the ukrainian armed forces and to all those who died on the battlefield for the ukrainian state, thank you ,

will of the saints, and we pray that there will be a crime and a matchmaker, melitopol, the whole of donbas crimea , we are fighting and will continue to fight for the main word, victory, it will definitely be us we have been going to her for 311 days, we have given a lot of strength, but the moment it seems that you can no longer go on, remember what we have already been through with you, i want to say to all of you ukrainians, you are incredible , look at what we have done and what we are doing as our warriors from the first days spread this the second army of the world, how our people stopped convoys of their equipment, how my grandfather stopped a tank with his hands, how a woman knocked down a drone with a can of tomatoes, you did all your work there in the occupation, stealing enemy tanks, armored personnel carriers and a helicopter, roma shells, how they collected marine drones for shahed hunters in hours armored cars, fast and armored cars, how they withstood all the threats, shelling, cluster bombs, cruise missiles, darkness, darkness and cold, how they supported each other and the

russia the extradition of persons found guilty by the court of the death of flight mh17 in the sky in donbas, which was shot down from a russian beech tree, why do they know? my colleagues, the broadcast continues. congratulations, this is the freedom of life my name is vlad and lazur . over the past day, as a result of russian armed aggression in ukraine, 11 civilians were killed, nine in the donetsk region, two people in the kherson region, and 17 more people were injured from referring to the data of the regional administrations, this was reported by the deputy head of the office of the president kyrylo tymoshenko in the city of kurakhove, donetsk region . local authorities today closed bazaars, shops , and post offices. this decision was made due to the consequences of yesterday's attack on the city. now you can see these consequences on the video. russian forces shelled the central part of the city under volodymyr zelenskyi bakhmutskyi and the avdiiv direction is donetsk for many days already mentioned in front-line reports as the hottest points of the eastern front thanks to the transf

opportunities for such mechanisms to be worked out, so let's now explain to an ordinary ukrainian in donbas, for example , awards have flown to him, well any rocket or mine gave him black earth, from which he fed, planted potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, everything else, he cannot now simply use his garden for many years. we eat from it because of those chemical compounds and after all, what this rocket brought is different. this is how we lose a key opportunity for survival, both at the level of ukraine and globally on the planet. therefore, when we talk about challenges, we are actually talking about opportunities for the next generations, because our generation already has this problem. our task now is to take care of so that the planet remains for our children, and really destroyed lands, destroyed biota, destroyed forests - this is all that we already have, it is already a fact, explosions, actually, the damage from the explosions themselves is also colossal, because in depending on the type of projectiles, it is released differently, but it is a huge amount of poisonous substances, harmfu

we know how important the donbas is to president putin. he uses the word donbas more than he says ukraine. the reality on the ground is brutal. i want you to listen to a clip from sam kiley who visited a hospital and asked a soldier who had been injured about his impression of the fighting there. >> reporter: how would you describe the battle for back mute? he says world war i. that's it. world war ii. something like that. >> so i think you get a strong impression of what things are are like on the ground, world war i or ii. with sophisticated modern weaponry alongside nato weaponry provided to ukraine. and of course ukraine got another boost this week, the 27th drawdown by the u.s. since 2021. you can see ukraine's allies continue to support it to defend that city. >> all right. that's the ukrainian perspective. now to russia's president making provacative comments about the us use of nuclear weapons. >> reporter: it's interesting, kim. it's been the hall ma, of this so far. it seemed to escalate in the autumn when ukraine's counter offen
