he is an army general and has been russian of the russian army, chief of general staff for more than 10 years. he replaces army general survey, sir of egan, as commander in ukraine who has now been demoted. deputy commander, russia's commanding officer. serv come under a lot of pressure and criticism in recent months is moscow has failed to achieve any major progress in its war in ukraine. well, ukraine says the fighting over the eastern towns of back mode unsullied on all the bloodiest battles of the war. so far. russian forces led by mercenaries from the vog regroup, have been trying to seize control of the area for months. moscow says it's units of cut off access to solider, but ukraine denies the salt mining town has fallen. russia media has released these images of rog, the leader yevgeny pre goes in. the mullins there here says the purchase was stage . natasha butler has more from ukrainian capital. the russian defense mystery saying that airborne russian airborne units have surrounded the town from the north and the south. earlier we heard of from the head of the russian mercen

chief of the general staff, general of the army valery gerasimov, was appointed commander of the jointgroup of troops; his deputies became the head of the air force, general of the army, sergei surovikin of the ground forces of the general of the army alekseikov, of staff, colonel general alexei well, that is , the ministry of defense was announced officially, that this is due to an increase in the status of an increase in the level of leadership of a special military operation is associated with an expansion of the scale of the need to organize closer interaction between the branches of the armed forces, as well as an increase in the quality of all types of support and the effectiveness of command and control of groupings of troops. this means that we are preparing for some very important. it is very serious. of course, we must thank general of the army hero of russia surakin, he took command of the troops a very difficult moment. he kept the group. he built defensive lines. and yesterday's first success. this, of course, is also very important. but it is clear that we expect decisive

one hand gerasimov seems to have been elevated above surovikin, but for the chief of the russian general staff it is de facto demotion and specific responsibility for waging a war against ukraine well, i am not a zone apparatus for you. in general, for the first period, there was no blow, something blitzkrieg, responsibility, if it’s ego and gerasima, your keys were visible that all dogs were hung on them, more deserved, less deserved, remember the cleaning about lubyanka, that she gave the wrong one by the way, it was the time of the maidan in kiev and so on. there was a passing of the ball of responsibility between the lubyanka and the ministry of defense and the general staff. then there was a pause, as a result of which you remember the head of the operation, the so- called special operation. alasku sravit he was like in his time a lapin handed to him all possible knowledge of the country putin, however, he lowers for organized instead of nothing will solve solve all such things the first leader was played by gerasimov, and apparently, after a long war, this means the victory of the standa

regarding direct damage from time to time and local residents and information is provided, well, the general staff has already officially informed what kind of damage it is and what intensity and strength it is, mr. roman if we talk about the power of the enemy in the context of aviation, there is information that from the kherson region, including from the left bank, they pulled all their planes and helicopters to berdyansk, where we with the capabilities of our gaimorians , we cannot get them yet. at least from what we know publicly about our tools in the hands of uh, do they have anything left in the kherson region besides manpower and ammunition, armored vehicles , their number is approximately, well, the scale, to understand simply, well, unequivocally, armored vehicles , artillery it remains, they are pulling it closer to the city, it is not in the same amount as it was back in the summer of last year, but this technique is definitely there, they are shelling, they are leading the army, but the main forces were transferred to the east of our country closer to zaporizhzhia, and these, in orde

region, this was announced today by the deputy chief of the main operational department of the general staff according to the general staff , russia is also going to form at least 20 new divisions to reach the total number of the army in one and a half millions of people , currently russian troops are most actively storming the soledarna of donetsk region, the founder of wagner's communist party, yevgeny prigozhin, has even announced that the ukrainian side of the surrender of soledar does not confirm that the city was taken by the ukrainian side, at least at this time, and emphasizes that the fighters of the armed forces of ukraine, who used to defend the city, meanwhile , the maxart technology company published satellite images that show the consequences of the battles in soledar. here you can see how the city looked at the beginning of august i what does soledar look like now, these are the scales of the battles for the city, the battles for soledar in donetsk region have been going on since may or the 22nd of the year and after the capture of severodonetsk and lysychansk of luhansk in ju

appointment, so on the one hand gerasimov was raised on a surovikinym, but for the head of the russian general staff it is a de facto demotion and concrete responsibility for waging war against ukraine well i'm your zone apparatus kalush apparatus revenge from the side of the insutsional generality they were the last ones well revenge in 5:6 weather in nezhine very much humiliated because i remind you that i started the operation namely general gerasimov. in general, during the first period, the brilliance of riga was not successful . if it was ego and gerasim, it was clearly visible that all the dogs were hung on them. by the way, there was a meeting of the management of the maidan in kyiv, and so on . there was a passing of the sword of responsibility between lubyanka and the ministry of defense, and the general staff then paused , as a result of which you remember the chief the so-called operations of this special operation meant that the janitors or the hardasmen came to sravit ablasku sravit he was as in his time the labyn was handed to him everything is possible and recognition from the countr

and do not inform the general staff about all important events, important new ones. see that you are connecting with us somewhere from a trench or from a very dark place. well, i'm just explaining to our viewers that you are directly somewhere on the foothills near soledar. i understand that you are in the bakhmut direction. let 's look in the bakhmut direction in the bakhmut direction - this is 50-60 km from the front . plus or minus, we are oriented because this is also our direction. well , then, tell me what happened today. maybe recently or just now, do you know what is happening in soledar? well, i just said that, there are heavy battles, that's all for now moment we can say yesterday we quoted the western press, in particular cnn journalists, we know from reuters journalists work in soledar on his tricks and they record the testimony of the ukrainian military and the ukrainian military also talk about the difficult situation and wonder if there is any sense in continuing to defend soledar or is there not a big threats to the lives of ukrainian servicemen, and

that’s the question of the general staff. i can’t answer it. it’s a matter of limited resources. maybe we don’t really have that many drones or they don’t. are as good as everyone thinks or they are just being kept for something else, i don’t know, but i think that the russian air defense has already shown what it really is, and that is why it gives us the opportunity to move on to attacks dear mr. colonel and what blows on the russian troops would be the most noticeable for the russian empire definitely strikes on the territory of russia because they actually make it clear to the russians that the war is getting closer to them further now in the occupied territories training on military facilities actually brings a positive effect for your army i mean that their the air force showed its weakness and almost the largest space for attacks opened before us, you can switch to the navy, you will not make a breakthrough by killing a few dozen more soldiers on it will not particularly affect the overall picture, while the sinking of a ship, the destru

, these are initiatives of the general staff and the general staff is the customer of this, thehole story of the general staff is all organized and when it already forms a need, and it goes to the ministry of defense, it only buys, you know, the ministry of defense has a minister defense is a person, yes, purchases, uh, well, probably, if he conducted oleksii, you know , i want to say that oleksii conducted work on errors, i have such hope, i will tell you more, i went out for a conversation with him, and we should have a meeting on monday a meeting with the workers of light industry, to which the minister of defense confirmed that he would come because, you know, well, maybe after this scandal, maybe there will be some titanic changes in the work of the ministry of defense, which i really hope for, ms. dano. i see that apart from the fact that you are there you are testing all sorts of new troops, besides that, you are an old traditional grandfather. you can say that in a grandfatherly way. you are collecting cars for our military this week. yes, cars are a topic that is painfu

the chief of the general staff or the first deputy commander-in-chief of the general staff and alreadynal unification, that is, reduce unnecessary links, increase management efficiency, remove some intermediate steps, and here i am again. well, those are rough estimates. this will have the most positive effect during the conduct of a special military operation by the ukrainian general staff. at the same time today came to the conclusion that the change of leadership. well , more precisely, we understand that the change did not take place, but in any case, the concentration of efforts to command our transfer of these efforts into the hands of the chief of the general staff indicates that the russian federation is proceeding with the immediate liberation of the territory, which we consider to be part of the russian federation to the liberation of the zaporozhye region and is now trying to reach the border donetsk people. noah of the republic, but here you don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist and you don’t need to rely on the data of american intelligence. we already announced this a lo

the meeting is also unprecedented. the general of the commander of the military and his american visa of the war of the chief of the joint american staffshink about what could have been discussed ? which day once narrowly spoke more places back in the magazine interview remember i am standing 8 km from melitopol i am ready to go this way coup in the crimea and the kherson region , i need a big kitten for this, and it will be listed, let's say modestly, it's a set of requirements , 300 tanks, $700, 600 hz. i think the two generals have already discussed the specific course of the operation . western allies, but there is one more moment, which is called the moscow kremlin , the appointment of gerasimov to the relevant position of the head of the russian general staff and, accordingly, an attempt to somehow rebuild its aggressive offensive operation against ukraine the opportunities that russia will pelt corpses with a mob of others as military others, there is nothing left, except for nuclear blackmail, it is just the usual background. well, here is the second thing, many people consider that the appointment for gerasimo will see you here

deputy chief of the main directorate of operational management i apologize to the general stafff the armed forces of ukraine, brigadier general oleksiy gromov, today at a briefing i quote our brigadier general gromov it is predicted that in the near future the enemy will try to enter the administrative borders of the donetsk region, and in the future may act and take actions regarding the seizure of the left bank part of zaporizhzhya the general staff of the region also predicts that the occupiers will continue to carry out missile and air strikes on critical infrastructure objects throughout the territory of ukraine gromov added that in order to implement its plans for the seizure of ukraine, russia announced large-scale measures to reform the armed forces, in particular, it is about increasing the total number to one and a half million people and forming at least 20 new divisions in the general staff. they believe that these actions of russia indicate the kremlin's intentions to include long-term confrontation and preparation for large-scale hostilities well , a commission of

also evidenced by the unprecedented meeting of the general, the commander of the army, and his american war visa, the head of the joint american staff's stamp. what do you think the conversation could be about? этого уничто это two generals discussed concrete plans concrete offensive opera ready and which day once narrowed spoke more places back in the magazine interview remember i'm standing eight-month km from melitopol, i am ready to go this way. the liberator of the city will break the russian system of the baron in crimea and the kherson region. the general has already discussed the specific course of the final offensive operation of ukraine and its western allies, but there is one more moment, which is called moscow, the kremlin is assigned, so to speak, to the appropriate the post of chief of the russian general staff gerasimov and, accordingly, an attempt to somehow rebuild its aggressive offensive operation against ukraine, the possibility that russia will pelt corpses of mobs of others as military others, there is nothing left, except for nuclear blackmail, it is just the usual background. well, the second thing is that ma

it's a demotion for the chief of general staff because chief of general staff, that's the number 2 in the russia military, and many respects him and number one them down. he is just commander of the fighting task force. so this demonstrates the now is simply not, not there simply extraordinary situation. such things didn't happen in russia now since 1941, when the german nazi very much invaded them. chief of general staff gregory shook of was sent to the front by joseph stalin. so this demonstrates that there's a kind of emergency and he's going to have also of course deputies, the chief of the air force, air space troops and the chief of the army. also there, i mean there's only the, she will, the navy was not there in command in the field. so yes, this is a very abstract, ordinary situation. chiefs of general staff and brushing normally do not do such things. i mean, he's in charge of the nuclear deterrent. he can send the nuclear missiles flying to other continents. he has a nuclear football as the chief of generals that, i mean, he's a really very important person. flights i presu

and so i think this is a way to kind of reclaim power for the general staff. and so sort of akin will now be responding to general garage them. of even so get rosmer doesn't seem to have that same battle experience. nevertheless, he's being appointed and perhaps it's somehow connected to the fact that currently general log in has now been appointed with him as the chief of staff of the ground forces. and general lobby was the one who was blamed by both precaution and cut their off. your feeling and leave mine and they called for his the motion to major and still but he was like by the general staff by rosmer ben, troy go. and so he he wasn't demoted. so there is a power struggle going on and put in is trying on the one hand to appease both cordero and precaution. and on the other hand he, he tries to delegate control to his defense minister just very briefly. and do you think we're going to see a change in russia as offensive strategy? as a consequence of this change in personnel, perhaps they will be continuing the same strategy. i don't think that this change

one hand gerasimov seems to have been raised over surovikin, but for the chief of the russian general staff is a de facto demotion and specific responsibility for waging war against ukraine. apparatus revanch from the side of the insutsional generality, they were last, well , 5:6 months, the weather in nezhin is very much humiliated because i remind you that it was general gerasimov who started this operation. in general, for the first period , well, yes. by the way, i happen to be there maidanov in kyiv and so on were throwing the sword of responsibility between lubyanka and genstadt, then a pause, as a result of which you remember the head of this operation, the so-called special operation, it meant that the janitors or the cordasmen came from the level publicly with insults . all possible recognitions from putin's country , however, he lowers the organization himself, he will not solve anything apparatus war means the victory of the standard generality of the one who creates full-fledged wars by himself, the leadership of these upstarts and all these eh figures who appeared and were rais

, but one, but prigozhin, well , and a group of kadirovatkas also criticized both the general stafftle by little, they are starting to criticize putin. well, we let's not remind the fsb and the fsb in the person of the same bittern who well, as we all understand, the fsb represents and putin has already been repeatedly criticized in one way or another, this will have a very negative effect on the leaders of the kremlin and on, well, in general the capability of the russian troops, both in ukraine and in general, in russia and in the world . do you think that something will change in the propaganda paradigm with the arrival of gerasimov in the leadership position of the so-called special military operation, because now many are writing that the term ipso thus acquires a new meaning of informational and psychological special operations, for example, leaflets are actively scattered at the front, just a projectile flies filled with leaflets and calls to surrender to the armed forces of ukraine or something like that, now a new story, what now this is the creation of the so-called shadow

traitors from the general staff from the presidential administration, this is what he will be playingit will return to the border er, the west will ensure the security of ukraine with its own security by accepting ukraine into nato and the baron's harsh system but what is going to happen in russia , no one will go there anymore, let themselves go, eh, frogs and vipers eat whatever they want. what, yes , no, not in ukraine. maybe let your criminals indulge their will, all the more so that huge trillion assets of the property of all former putin are being released. gerasimov can play a specific role in this whole matter. it is possible that gerasimov was simply dismissed from a certain position and given a specific task. the war against ukraine. we give you some deadline in order to show this or that bloody result 2-3 months if you do not succeed, well, accordingly , then so to speak you are not retired the rekosovsky camp was in a dinner position and received him there one of the key prophet gerasim has already shown himself as a military leader as a driver we all this crazy plan eh fi

yes, the civil war is already underway, the head of the general staff has a jelly mountain. ? headquarters, it does not automatically become the supreme commander-in-chief, this is generally a wonderful evidence for us, not just the collapse of such and such a conceptual system . gang of bastards who are preparing to divide the public property that will remain after the fall of today's power well, let's hope, dear andrii andriyovich, that the fall of the putin regime will happen as soon as possible well, i want to remind our tv viewers that political scientist andriy piontkovskyi, who is in washington, worked for them on the espresso tv channel our program has run out stay tuned to the espresso tv channel my colleagues will inform you about the most important things take care of yourself and your loved ones i wish you a bright and clear new year's and christmas holidays. for today, in civilian life , she was a successful journalist after the death of her fiancé, a military correspondent and serviceman, oleksandr makhov. anastasia decided to join the ranks of the armed forces

listen, friends. now let's probably still look at a fresh summary of the general staff about the situationn general on the fronts , well, and with clearer information. of the russian large-scale invasion . over the past day, the occupiers have fired four rockets at civilian objects in the lyman and yar valleys of the donetsk region and 23 airstrikes. in addition, they have carried out 69 attacks from rocket salvo systems in other locations. there is a danger of air and missile strikes on the entire territory of ukraine for last day, the units of the defense forces repelled the attacks of the occupiers in the areas of the settlements of stelmakivka and krimina in the luhansk region and zodolivka, salt, krasna gora, paraskoviivka podgorodne bakhmut klishchivka mayorsk pervomaisk and krasnohorivka of donetsk region in the volynsky polis siversky and slobozhan directions no offensive groups of the enemy were detected in the siversky and slobojan directions mortar and artillery shelling occurred in the areas of novosilovka and vovkivka settlements of the sumy region as well as guriv kozachok st

the city political leadership in general of russia in essence the ministry of defense and the general staff received from er, of its leadership , er, karabash is open for er, at least in the coming months, er, so i think that the situation in the area of ​​solidar and bakhmut, from the point of view of the russians, will be um, well, a component of this, er, the implementation of this year received that you mean like this to be affected on the front line, well, that is, here he wrote in his own helplessness in relation to his army, he returned to the chief of the general staff, eh, to command this group, eh, it is obvious that sometime in the spring, he was suspended from making some important decisions there well, i understand the meaning of this return. well, i didn't succeed. well, try. i give you all the powers to manage the troops. well, try to achieve the goals of the war. how do you know, and will it mean that the presence of regular russian troops there will increase, er, until now prigozhyn stated that his wagner troops were fighting there exclusively, but we can see there even acc

well, this is actually a high assessment of the work of our the general staff from you, uh, tell me , maybe you know this question more by feeling. what do you think? and did the war turn, and the fact that there are also many conversations about this, in which someone there, the ukrainian army was able to turn the tide, was not able to turn the tide war ot how do you simply evaluate it for yourself ? i believe that the armed forces of ukraine have intercepted the strategic initiative in the war. but we haven't yet reached that moment when we can say that we have broken the enemy's neck and we will continue to move down the hill to our victory so far we are close but we have not reached and it depends on what we have not achieved parity in weapons we have not achieved parity uh, on ammunition, well , that is, what could this fracture mean from your point of view, the search for parity in some types of weapons in the amount of ammunition is absolutely not indicative in the modern war in ukraine, there are no uh, planes, uh, long-range bomber aircraft, but it inflicted blows on the airf

friends on communications ihor romanenko, retired lieutenant general, former deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-2010, generals good day, good health to you and thank you for joining our conversation. and good health to you, please, mr. colonel let's talk about the results, i'm sorry, i keep confusing your titles, i'm sorry, it's the second time in the programs that mr. general, mr. lieutenant general, i remember so, mr. general, let's start with the results, the armed forces of ukraine liberated 40% of the territory of ukraine that was originally occupied of a full-scale invasion of russia on february 24, 2022, this is more than 40 thousand square kilometers or 28% of the entire territory occupied by the russian military, including crimea - these are the results of last year, which were made public by general luzhuj, the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, the ukrainian army restrains the enemy on a land area 3,786 km long in particular , the active front line is one and a half thousand kilometers long, according to zuluzhnoy, during 2022 ,

statements as during the war an attempt and correctly disinformation of the enemy . that only the general staff and the head of the main command, general zaluzhny, knows and plans combat operations and they are ongoing right now, just today, yesterday and will be tomorrow, where are combat operations from those that are possible with you, open information that gives general staff it is clear that bakhmut, where our armed forces have been holding back since may and do not allow the russian troops to advance even a single centimeter in spite of the furious offensive, soledar , it is the same in the east of the country and in the south . the aggressor group temporarily in the temporarily occupied territories of kherson and zaporozhye , i would like to point out one more very important thing. you are right, mr. sergey, when you said that mr. budanov's interview for abc news is important from the point of view of supplying ukrainians with more weapons to ukraine, this is actually the case because these days it is being decided in the united states of america when how much and how additional armored

in parallel with the commander of the joint group of troops, the initial general staff valery gerasimov appointed, this was reported by the ministry of defense , the position was previously held by general sura vicky surovy now, he will be gerasimov’s deputy, gerasimov’s deputies were also appointed commander-in-chief of the ground forces from the soles and deputy chief of the general staff, colonel general in the ministry of defense explained that the increase level and leadership is related to the expansion of the scale, we solve their problems as well when deployed, they will help organize closer interaction between the various branches of the armed forces, the desire began to give comments in peskov said that this was a matter of defense. but in the west, it seems, there is a panic, they are now guessing whether it’s all good or badly answering, of course, it’s good. you can start to be afraid from now on. gerasimov, without any agreement, all types and structures of the armed forces are subordinated from strategic aviation ; i will not mention a pile of fleet forces about the nucle

to a conversation - this is a retired lieutenant general , at one time the deputy chief of the general stafff the armed forces of ukraine, and even earlier the commander of the air defense brigade that defended kyiv, mr. general i congratulate you. i also congratulate you. the post of brigade commander, not commanders, clarifies that for three days in a row we have seen enemy attacks. drones were martyred, and at the same time we heard about the enemy's new tactics. what did they say? first, the enemy launches chess, and then there are 50 complexes and planes that determine the location of our air defense systems, and then cruise missiles directly attack our air defense facilities. defenses that seem to be the enemy thanks to such tactics, in view of your experience, is this really the case, and are the strikes of the shahed usually associated with the adjustment of tasks for further strikes with cruise missiles, well, the tactics are changing the adversary is studying the current situation and is reacting to the changes that are taking place in our country, this must be kept in mind . for e

hidden or partially or completely mobilization, depending on the in the future, the ukrainian general staffl act, but the fact that putin still has certain human reserves - this is obvious, and it is precisely by focusing on his capabilities that he will in the future organize the actions of the russian army operating within the framework of the so -called special military operation therefore , there are still many defenses in the ukrainian countryside, and the military-technical assistance we receive from our western partners is of course important, because it is with the help of those artillery systems and ammunition to those systems that we receive from our western partners. we have the opportunity to destroy enemies in huge quantities, because the figures that we see every day in the morning summaries of the ukrainian general staff are the losses that putin from the army of the day bears during active participation in hostilities these are incredibly large losses, they are very sensitive in the battle formations of putin's army, well, it's obvious that this allows us to get closer to vi

romanenko, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine 2006-10 . we congratulate you. i also congratulate you. e theses and statements there , let's say representatives of the pentagon from the united states of america or ah from great britain that these countries will try and european countries will also try to teach as much as possible according to the standards of nato and our tankers and pilots, including representatives of other branches of the military, and this is a big positive, but the questions regarding the weapons themselves and the heaviest equipment, in particular, mr. omelchenko , the ambassador of ukraine in france, named the number 321 heavy tanks that the ukrainian army can receive there in the coming months, well, we take into account let's say the whole year 2023 , at the same time we know that there are certain nuances with the supply of the same heavy abrams tanks from the united states of america or other types of tanks from the european union because they are available and not in such quantities and this is absolutely it is

in fact, i think that only the general staff and the head of the main command, general zaluzhny, know and plan combat operations, and they are going on right now, just today, yesterday, and they will tomorrow where are the combat operations from those that are possible with you with open information given by the general staff it is clear that bakhmut where our armed forces have been holding back since may and do not allow the russian troops to advance even a centimeter soledar same in the east of the country and in the south i i think serious things are being prepared on the part of our armed forces, and the whole group of temporary aggressors in the temporarily occupied territories of kherson and zaporozhye will be kept under tension. i would like to mention one more very important thing. you are right, serhiy, when you said that the interview er, mr. budanov for abc news, er, it matters from the point of view of supplying ukrainians with more weapons to ukraine, this is actually the case , because these days, right now, it is being decided in the united states of america when how mu

. of the armed forces of the general staff and the ministry of defense there were several official america to provide us with f-16 and now there is no reason why they should provide this equipment if in april on the pants told us that it was new, but there are no trained pilots, we answered that let's teach because we will still come to the fact that we have f16 and you will give it, let's not waste time and we demanded start training already and then you, it's a decision made anyway they cannot use this argument now, because the answer is this: well, listen, we could already in 11 months of war, and our engineers could learn. therefore, this is a purely political strategic decision of president biden, er, and it rests on his understanding of the strategy in relation to russia, because how only f-16s enter ukraine. this increases our advantage of our armed forces many times, it will save many lives of our servicemen, these are planes that are many times better than the best fighter models of the russian federation, they have excellent radars , they have excellent missiles, they are

luhansk region, donetsk region , and zaporizhzhia region, it is reported in the summary of the general stafft the occupiers are concentrating their main efforts on the bakhmut and avdiiv directions , on the kupyansk, limansk, novopavlovsk and kherson, the defensive remnants carried out nine missile and 23 air strikes and fired more than 80 times from the rocket systems of the salvo fire, our soldiers gave an adequate response, the aviation of the village of borony. during the past day , it made 21 strikes on the area of ​​the enemy's concentration and seven on the positions of its anti-aircraft missile systems, our soldiers also destroyed three uavs of the lancet-3 type, the missile and artillery unit of the village of borony of ukraine hit six control points eight areas of concentration of the enemy and the occupiers' ammunition depot, a pension, the number of wounded wagnerites is increasing, there is an eye of panthers, a field hospital where more than 300 russian soldiers are being treated, the general staff reported of the enemy's armed forces continues to use the network of civilian he

the first task is to create tension in the ukrainian general staff.y , the appropriate means of the ukrainian forces are used. of defense to cover the north of our country, the second is the use of the industrial capacity of the republic of belarus for the restoration and repair of the equipment of the russian army that is being removed from long-term storage is not ready for combat and in need of repair and restoration. and it should be noted that the government of lukashenka at the time preserved the entire production infrastructure, which language is a complex, i think it is now used precisely for the restoration of russian equipment, and the third case is the use of a training base for the preparation of the same chmobyk e of the russian occupation army, which for a certain period of time conducts preparation for training and combat deployment and then goes to the front because, against the background of the fact that we saw information about the arrival of several echelons with personnel on the territory of the republic of belarus, for some reaso

good day, the traditional weekly briefing of representatives of the ministry of defense and the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine took place. so , we now have the most fierce battles on the bakhmut liman and avdiiv directions, in particular, the enemy has concentrated large forces on therefore, in order to capture the town of soledar , which is located in the donetsk region in the bakhmut district, they want to capture and surround the city of bakhmut in the future to seize, fierce fighting is going on there, soledar means, but now it is impossible to determine how much of the city is controlled by the ukrainian or russian army, because the situation changes every minute and the situation is extremely difficult, and in addition, they also talked about the situation in other directions, in particular, the russians want to enter the administrative borders of donetsk region in the near future, this is their strategic goal, and after that, if they succeed, we hope that they will not do it, then they will move on to capture the left bank of the zaporizhzhia region, this is their goal in

malyar, it is obvious that the ukrainian general staff is absolutely clearly monitoring the situationvery effort to resolve the situation and, accordingly, directs the appropriate resources and reserves to strengthen the group of our forces operating in this settlement. but again, the situation is extremely difficult, and when we... support, volodymyr zelensky notes that there is hell, in fact, there is hell, because russia , despite the insane losses literally in the corpses of its soldiers, is pushing forward, trying to finally conquer soledar, the situation is not very dynamic, so i am not ready to make any predictions right now, but one thing is still obvious to me the ukrainian army maintains its defense not as much as possible, they used the base of the component, including the means of artillery defeat of the senior commander in order to destroy the huge numbers of the same russian mercenaries who are trying to capture bakhmut bakhmut and solidar i will quote the infamous painter you mentioned, the deputy minister of defense says that the russian command used a large assault gr

aviation, they are trying to advance on the bakhmut, avdiyiv and zaporizhzhia directions, the general staff on the territory of belarus reports this the training of russian units in accordance with the russian-belarusian exercises is ongoing, the aggressor is being closely monitored in the luhansk general staff fired from all available weapons in donetsk region, the russians fired from tanks and artillery zaporizhzhia direction, the occupiers fired at mortars and artillery and kherson region with barrel and rocket artillery, there are casualties among the civilian population, according to the general staff, mobilization continues in the temporarily occupied territory of luhansk region at the same time, our defenders struck 14 enemy concentration areas and three opposition anti-aircraft missile systems at the weekend, there will be more light in the homes of the capital city received a limit of electricity that will cover 63% of the city, this is much more than it was on weekdays . general director serhiy kovalenko clearly informed about this, and dnipropetrovsk region will have 51%." the st

losses for the ukrainian side is another aspect - it is just possible that the behavior of our general stafftermine the decision of whether to withdraw its troops from soledar or continue to leave them there or and continue to receive these infernal combat operations where we are forced to hold back these overwhelming enemy forces, by the way, we are now moving to bahmut vysochanska, the armed forces of ukraine entrenched themselves in belgorodka and since then continue to shell enemy positions, and from belgorodka it has already passed since the spring, in fact, so we did not move from there. - to resolve these issues well, of course , to provide our fighters with the forces and means to resolve these issues again on the bakhmut battlefield, what is the situation there, because now of course all attention has shifted to well, to soledar, because soledar was not from the beginning the main goal of the russians. will bakhmut manage to hold out? maybe there is some kind of respite there now, whether it is small or not, or whether it is still going on there, it really says that the actual tough

established contact with the office of the volunteer, how they check requests for help in the general staff and how the stars of the ukrainian scene are involved, the volunteers told about it to my colleagues yarina matviychuk and pavluv terohova, the city of chicago, one of the main transportation centers in the united states. it is also home to one of the largest ukrainian communities in the united states, when it began in february a full-scale russian invasion of ukraine ukrainian owners of the largest transport companies in chicago decided to unite to help ukraine logistics companies that were competitors at the time in the american market all the owners of ukraine united we decided to create a fund we did not know each other personally although we did not know each other personally. literally in a few hours, we made all the necessary decisions that we will create a fund, how we will make decisions and how we will work. this everything was voluntary, whoever wanted to joined in order to provide the fund financially, the owners of the company, who were recently also competitors, agreed t

stepped on the throat not only of the general staff and not only of the ministry of defense, e.e. theicts - in fact, he entered the territory of the minister of sadder affairs. he entered the territory of e-e of their prison administration, all of them. he entered the territory of the russian border guard. he entered the territory of the fsb, and of course he cannot help but understand that if he stops his information shaft, if i do not show that only he is fighting, only he knows what to do next, and so on. -he can be destroyed physically, so actually, he will be and further, i think to increase this informational vaccination and for us, this is definitely a huge plus, why a huge plus, because uh, in the background , especially in the background of make-up, uh, who opened the eyes of millions of russians are the incompetence of their leadership and the fact that mobs can be destroyed by hundreds actually due to the stupidity of their leadership against the background of a very aggressive policy of information policy, a beauty who says that only he is fighting, and trust in the army i

agreements made with him, that is why the war continues and the introduction of the ukrainian general staffere are both air strikes and artillery strikes, and not only the mortar artillery created there works, but also the rocket salvo fire system, er, it is with their help that the russians inflict damage as a result of these injuries, of course, on this tract of special units, well, as a result of these artillery injuries, the peaceful inhabitants of our country suffer from them, so he continues to negotiate with putin. there is nothing for it. russian forces from the territory of ukraine, the border of the year 91, everything else - it's useless vladyslav well , after the liberation of kherson and the right bank of the dnipro from the russian occupiers, well, the main thing is that all such hostilities are now taking place in the donetsk and luhansk direction to donetsk luhansk region bakhmut soledar criminal what do you think about it what is happening and happened during these festive christmas days, bakhmut, the winemaker and criminal, tell me about it, please. well, the fact is that

were announced today and i'm talking about the appointment of general gerasimov, chief of the general staff, as commander of a grouping, a united grouping russian armed forces in ukraine and it seems to me that this is a very significant appointment general a-a. surovikin, at least from my point of view, he achieved quite impressive results, and indeed after several very problematic situations for the russian armed forces. he managed to reorganize the russian units. he managed to establish supplies and he would be able to talk to you about it, managed to change the dynamics of hostilities unequivocally in favor of russia, but uh, what is called the collective west is also not going to sleep and is not going to be published and when, uh, you. uh, look at how many weapons are supplied. to ukraine and, most importantly, how it is delivered. this is what impresses me the most. when somewhere in russia success is planned, when somewhere in ukraine problems are found. it's not what they say, that's who they are in brussels in other western capitals, that something is missing in ukraine. let's see

at the same time, the general staff writes in the lyman, ovid and zaporizhzhia directions that the russiansu quote, introduced unsuccessful offensive actions. and in the bakhmut direction, they continued offensive actions and so regarding the zaporizhia direction, contradictory and at the same time alarming reports are received about the situation there, ukrainian and russian-speaking valuable persons speak about the offensive actions of russia in this russian direction, however the data about him are very different, but the head of the ukrainian united president of the defense forces of the tauri direction, and yevgen yerin, who on sunday said that the report about the alleged breakthrough of the defense and the russian offensive in the zaporizhzhia direction is a fake, according to yerin, there are no large-scale military operations that were talked about by the russian propaganda is not carried out there, and the day before , an employee of the occupation administration of the zaporizhia region, volodymyr rogov, stated that the first line of defense of the ukrainian army in certain areas

well, this is known from our leadership, our general staff knows very well about this, it is very wellideas, that is why all these actions, including in the south, it cannot be said that they are interested in any one thing . there is a place, well, the population of the point is as small as that of an oligarch. it’s true, it’s a small place. they are trying to probe our defense from the north and the common in order to do such and such. the head of the general staff is appointed to lead some grouping of troops, this happens only in the event that a full-scale war is going on, that is, inside their country, among the leadership, they have already admitted that this is a full-scale war. well, that's why they will spread the number of the people they will involve , most likely they can nationalize enterprises that work for the military-industrial complex, because they do not have enough of their capacity to produce so many heavy equipment weapons how much do they need in order to ensure these conditions of the conscripted people according to their already regular breakdown and they are n

this is what gerasimy earns, and gerasimo, by the way, graduated from the academy of the general staffly they were already demonstrated not you repeat once again gerasimykh was put not in order to run in ukraine gerasim already set shoigu as a jessom in this more to this mini military coup they wanted to liquidate the prigornaya in the fact that i am physical well, that's a big experiment on russia, it 's uh, if you want in russia, an alternative history of hitler's fascism, who won in a good year, weissman yats and became the chuller himself. that's what the main uh, intrigue intrigue is now in russia, tempole, i don’t understand perfectly that after the end of the war, the fate of the war is completely silent. well, i agree with you, and a very characteristic indicator of what is happening in the kremlin is some kind of information leak because there is no way to check it, there is an absolutely specific official response of piskov to the trolling of our president zelensky, who said that maybe putin is not real, so to speak of the kremlin press secretary, they reacted, you understand

in all cases, there were no casualties or damage. yesterday , the general staff reported that they hit the civilian infrastructure from the zaporozhye dnipropetrovsk and kherson regions, the hottest areas of the front remain the bakhmut and avdiiv areas, despite significant losses in manpower, the invaders are trying to advance there, units of the village of borony repelled the attack of the invaders in the areas of 16 settlements in luhansk and donetsk regions. over the past day, ukrainian aviation has carried out nine strikes on enemy concentration areas and two strikes on his means air defense units of missile forces and artillery units of boron village of ukraine at the same time hit one command post six areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment one warehouse of ammunition and one means of radio-electronic warfare of the enemy soledar is not a subject for speculation, the ministry of defense of ukraine emphasized, the deputy head of the defense department, hanna malyar, urged not to spread unverified information about the situation in the city, in particular, when m
