weapons , and there is no other option, information is coming from our general staff that the enemy is starting to build defensiveortifications on the kakhovka melitopol line. can you confirm this information? the zaporozhye region has been fighting on the first day since february 24 and already since may. they began to build defensive lines and defensive lines. to the south, several defense lines were built, using er slave force er actually forcing the local population to raid trenches and the power of local enterprises and bring in elements er for defensive structures from the crimea. the next line is being built, as we can see from the information that is on duty, so of course we will have to make an effort on these guys well, but i am sure that these brigades will be overcome as in kharkiv oblast and kherson oblast, in the end zaporizhia oblast will be completely liberated. please tell me , mr. oleksandr, how intensively currently, the study of the concentration of enemy forces in the occupied territories, the territories of the zaporizhia region, the same melitopol is possible, tokmak, etc., other settlement

russians from kherson to the left bank of the dnieper, said the deputy chief of the main operational department of the general staff oleksiy gromov, he emphasized that the defense forces will continue to carry out offensive operations according to his plan and urged to wait for official reports for each so-called gesture of goodwill of the enemy, there are colossal efforts of our soldiers as the enemy was leaving kyiv kharkiv oblast leaving the island of zmiiny the probable exit from kherson is the result of our active actions directly in the direction of kherson the defense forces of ukraine destroyed the enemy's logistical routes and support system violated his troop management system thereby leaving the enemy no other option than to retreat before escaping, but at the moment we cannot deny or confirm the information about the so-called withdrawal of russian troops from kherson snigurivka is our city in the mykolaiv region, the soldiers of the 131st separate reconnaissance battalion were returned under the blue and yellow flag, the corresponding video appeared on the network on the deoccupation of the settlement, hinted by the head of the president's office,

knee-deep after you shed to the rains, and the computer, damn it, even knee-deep water, and this primarily complicates the defense, because, according to statements even by the general staffthe armed forces of ukraine every day. they lose 40 to 70 people, only killed where our trenches are defended, made according to the rules, drainage, flooring , heating. this is confirmed by the commanders and military correspondents rummaging through all the canons of war. they are strengthened, at least with boards they also make sanastils in several bars of dugouts so that they can withstand artillery hits. here, for example, is a bungalow, as the dpr fighters joke, everything is in order on the front line, humanitarian aid is coming. the only thing is that now the autumn weather is so dank before the onset of winter and it is very dirty, but here inside damn, even cleanliness guys move in slippers and walk in socks. and the dryers in their trenches naturally drown from here, it’s understandable that pneumonia on the front line is not a combat loss - it ’s death if medicines are not brought in time on the first snow, yes, and it seems that they didn’t bring their winter uniforms , n

demonstrated that she tried everything, she simply introduced it to everyone through putin, through the minister of defense, the chief of the general staff it was completely unsuccessful. so here we have to turn it around , i blame everything against russia, expose it to be considered at the same security council at all commissions show the absurdity and most importantly show that it itself prepares and is ready under a foreign flag to provoke this russia quite often conducts informational and psychological special operations and it will be completed equivocally noted at the highest international level on the rostrum of the un general assembly at the radbezion it's not only these biolaboratories, it's also some combat mosquitoes that ukraine seems to be preparing against the russian military representatives of albania, they already ridiculed the representative of hmm russia nebenziyu who talked about this says how will these mosquitoes distinguish between ukrainian military and russian military at the front, well , the whole world laughs, but the whole world still continues to sit and whine there at the meeting of the general assembly an

equipment in the village of green yar according to the general staff of the armed forces the defenders also destroyed two trucks, the attackers and the defense of the sky will have to wait, german defense minister kristina lambrecht said that patriot anti-air defense systems are intended for the defense of nato airspace, so their transfer to our country requires the consent of the allied countries. however , the minister of defense of poland, mariusz blaszczak, believes that such systems are more necessary for the protection of the western border of ukraine, money for social assistance ukraine has signed an agreement with the world bank on the allocation of a grant for 4.5 billion dollars, the ministry of finance reports. the funds were provided by the united states of america and sent to the world bank's trust fund. they plan to spend them on ensuring pension payments, paying for medical services and certain programs of state social assistance, including payments housing and communal services, support for low-income families of children with disabilities and internally displaced persons, the truth about the famine, the senate of ireland rec

i will cite specific cases when the government and the general staffs of the ministry of defense of these countries approached with a proposal tostaff academy in moscow for training . by the way, in armenia it is a member of the dcb. and where was the famous case when an azerbaijani officer hacked an armenian hungary with an ax they do training there together? that's it specifically you why say? well, the documents were leaking, but the secret ones. but i agree about the quality. and this is an argument, by the way, from the russian side. russia, in fact, at some stage froze military cooperation, the development of the same collective rapid reaction forces are trained by the owners. he says, look, well, the topic of ukraine was naturally loud, and this brilliant approach of alexander lukashenko to the russian press. as i understand it, yes, when asked top questions yes, uh top statements that have been circulated and quoted in all the mainstream media. well, first of all, the president raised three questions of the first there is the build-up of the military presence in the east. what is this if not the development of a potenti

extent this figure really corresponds to reality, then it is better to look at it better that the general staff of the ministry of defensenot reported, but of course there are losses, and this is a reminder again that every centimeter of ukrainian land goes to the armed forces of ukraine for a reason, but it is the blood of our military. dear mr. editors, we would like you commented on the statement from our main intelligence agency that russia can strike with missiles at any moment, preparations are underway, the representative of the main intelligence agency vadimsky bitsky stated that the enemy does not abandon its intentions strike at any moment, but today the situation is quite calm, there are scheduled flights of the russian strategic aviation. they are carried out in the eastern regions. there are a lot of people with whom we communicate, like me, such as khrystyna yatskiv , they ask us so, when should we expect what? what should we expect, and accordingly ? information, assumptions again, so they began to prophesy, so to speak . well, accordingly, this not too well-thought-out statement began to be dispersed in o

gunners for further adjustment of the enemy's next shot is noted in the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine air defense system and toeprive russia of its right of veto in the un security council and to support the ukrainian peace formula, and all this because of massive russian shelling of ukrainian energy infrastructure, and the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, addressed the security council with this call, let's hear it. thank you very much, mr. chairman, ladies and gentlemen . we are waiting for the harsh reaction of the world to today's russian terror. we are waiting for the reaction of our partners. we are waiting for the reaction of friends, not just observers. we are waiting for the reaction of all those who really recognize the un charter. we are doing everything possible. ukraine presented the peace formula, it heard 10 points, how to restore the full force of the un charter, which was violated by russia, and guarantee the safety of ukraine , the safety of europe and all the peoples of the planet who suffer from the consequences of russian aggression, in response to our peace formula, russia is fo

watching what is happening, but in general, their key task now is to get under their control, not the ministry of defense of the russian federation, the general staffucceed in principle, this group becomes possibly the most powerful in the russian federation, their main competitors understand this very well, this is the petrusheva group, the fsb group, first of all, and the kremenchuk kirienka group in principle well, i am the main non-bureaucratic group in the russian federation. therefore, for now we are watching what is happening, but we really hope that there will still be conflicts from the side of kadyrov in relation to the sheikh of the general staff and it is possible that these conflicts they will allow the russian federation to be somewhat swayed as well, what should the ukrainians prepare for? if prigozhin suddenly becomes the leader, i don’t know if there are any candidates who could be better than putin. i don’t know if there are any candidates who could be better than putin. at the moment, we will always say that putin was yesterday again there everyone said and quoted for us who would be a better option for us, that his hands are pie

certain potential threat from the north in the ukrainian the general staff is forced to maintain a fairly large contingent of the ukrainian defense forces, which should be deployed in case of a critical need to repel an invasion from the north, and again, our guys are not idle in the territory of at least four regions of our country, it is said and for volhynia, for rivne, for zhytomyr oblast, respectively, for kyiv oblast, during this time, starting from february, our guys have implemented a huge set of tasks aimed at strengthening engineering and fortification in the plan of our capabilities, a powerful network of defense structures has been built, which aims to slow down the potential movement of military equipment. it does not matter whether it will be the russian occupying forces or whether the belarusian army will join them. but in any case, the combined approach of mining the territories adjacent to the border is the creation of the corresponding er rears, there are all kinds of engineering facilities aimed at ensuring that on the one hand we have er serious opportunities for defense and on the other hand the enemy does no

same time the occupiers tried to push back the forces defenses from svatovo and counterattacked in the direction of stelmakhivka according to a report from the general staff of ​​svatovo, our military hit a military object and disabled more than 50 occupants. another unit lost up to 70% of its personnel in the luhansk region. the southern front continues artillery duels in this direction in which the armed forces continue to destroy key concentrations of enemies along the volnovakha melitopol railway line again struck chernihivka and melitopol and also destroyed the base of the occupiers in childbirth in starobohdanivka, our military hit a key railway bridge, a feature of this week was a series of strikes near the power station, at the same time , the russians began to show signs of a gesture of goodwill from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, every day liberated kherson is heavily shelled from the other side of the dnieper; pushing back the enemy further to the east is a priority task on the left bank of the forces defenses continue to create a ten-to-twenty-kilometer buffer zone , destroying all enemy forces that still remain within the range of arti

spot, the head of the hungarian foreign ministry said, and the polish general staff decided to make excuses that the country's air defensewere asked by the citizens themselves. poland was explained there that not a single army in the world has an air defense system that protects the territory of the entire country. well, you know better as a military expert. and what happened, i would like to understand in detail your professional view in case, well, uh, we have before us the details of the s-300 missile, the s300 complex, uh, you need to understand that uh complexes with 300 missiles fly to a range of somewhere up to about 100 km in the modernized version, that is, from the territory it’s not that russia, even belarus, such a missile cannot physically fly there. absolutely meaningless. again, everything is excellent. it was known to go. ah, air raid. our missile attacked targets, including in lvov in lvov, 30 km from this point of impact of the missile , it is located here on the ukrainian missile regiment of the soviet era, which has been modernized it was at one time in the late eighties that it was transferred to the

o'clock in the morning according to the official the position of the ministry of defense of the russian federation may turn out to be something else. we hope that the general staffrstands this situation and preventive measures are being taken, so to speak, retreat from kherson . from kherson, the russian occupation forces blew up the antonov bridge across the dnipro; relevant footage is distributed by russian propaganda resources on friday morning we will carefully monitor the situation with us or with us evgeny karas, now the communication, as we understand it, may be imperfect due to the fact that, well, obviously, our military is currently engaged in an important matter where the communication

correspondent in dnipro , sounds similar to the hum of mopeds can be heard in the city, as well as the work of air defense systems . oblasts, the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reports this in the vechirnye zvezden, russian troops are trying to advance on the bakhmut and avdiyiv and also on the novopavlov directions on in the temporarily occupied territories of the zaporizhzhia region, the occupiers are taking away ukrainian passports from residents and forcing them to obtain russian ones. in the kherson region, the looting continues. in the kherson region, convoys of e-e trucks with household appliances and construction materials moved through the dam of the kakhova hydroelectric power station. dismantling and removal of your mobile communication equipment - ukrainian operators in in the district of boryslav, russian invaders blew up power lines and equipment of the solar power plant from the kherson regional museum the occupiers took away all artistic values , furniture and equipment from shevkunenko, and despite a certain decrease in the number of news from the front in the information space, the intensity of the fighting ha

time the occupiers tried to push the defense force away from the matchmaker and counterattacked in the direction of stelmahivka according to the notification of the general staffthe area of ​​the matchmaker as if the military had hit a military object and disabled more than 50 occupiers, another unit. luhansk region lost up to 70% of its personnel. the southern front continues artillery duels in this direction, in which the armed forces continue to destroy key concentrations of the enemy along the volnovakha railway . melitopol again struck chernihivka and melitopol and also destroyed occupiers in labor in starobohdanivka, our military hit a key railway bridge, a feature of this week was a series of strikes near energodar, at the same time the russians began to show signs of a gesture of kindness freed from the zaporizhzhia npp, kherson is liberated every day and is heavily shelled from the other side of the dnieper, therefore pushing back the enemy further to the east is a priority task on the left bank. the military bases and warehouses in nova kakhovka were emptied of new zburivka and radensky piers, and also destroyed two enemy control centers in skadovsk

to western experts. well, please , the magazine of the national defense of the general staffs france at the general staffally the ukrainian army. here he was, after all, the president of the fourteenth to the nineteenth year, he really meets the best criteria. e of what could be prepared and created, and i understand the hopes that were pinned on this army, because westerners realized that certain militant slavic spirits were required. you need their knowledge in order to produce such a monster of a monster, because, naturally , he serves the cause of evil, and this in no way begs what we are doing. now, on the contrary , it proves that it is the strongest army in the world. because we managed today, somehow we do not take this matter into account. we are not accustomed to praising ourselves, so i emphasize from the society of words. we handled the army today, which they are also 4 1/2 years old, which has actually been preparing for 8 years in order to start fighting with our army, the issue of crimea, united by all nato efforts, will remind zelensky’s position that he declares to the whole world that h

damn it, even knee-deep water, and this first of all complicates the defense, because, according to statements even by the general staffd forces of ukraine, every day. they lose between 40 and 70 men, only killed. where our trenches are defended, drainage, flooring , heating, made according to the rules. this is confirmed by both commanders and military correspondents. trenches are being built according to all the canons of war, they they are strengthened, at least with boards, floorings are also made in several bars of dugouts so that the artillery can withstand artillery tribute. here, for example, is a bungalow, as the dnr fighters joke, everything is fine on the front line, the humanitarian aid is coming. the only thing is that now the autumn weather is so dank before the onset of winter and it is very dirty, but here inside, damn it, even cleanliness guys move around in slippers and walk in socks. they naturally drown from here, it’s clear that pneumonia on the front line is not a combat loss - this is death if they won’t bring medicines on time on the first snow, and it looks like they didn’t bring a winter unifo

that needs to be talked about in the current ukrainian government system, it all started after 2019, there are no former ministers defenses of former presidents, former heads of the general staffwho could be used for such communication, you understand that when the adviser himself, the adviser to the head of the president's office, enters into a discussion in absentia with the secretary general of nato or with the president of the united states, well, it looks a little funny and looks infantile, there are no secrets in this aspect, but uh, well, this is how our ukrainian realities are at the moment. why do they outrage us only at such an extreme moment, why do we not pay attention to it? previous 260 days. this is also wrong. we do not have an effective communication system during this time, for almost 9 months, it has not been built. our main mouthpieces of the government are mostly, let's say, at the tactical level. it depends, they do not bear any political responsibility for their statements, they can talk about the fact that in russia all the winged years of no reaction have already been used up. so this is a really strange system that does not bear responsibility by the

to becoming a four-star general, served as army vice chief of staff. one of the duties that i performed early on in the secretary of defense was to swear him in as the new commanding officer of central command, which is about as difficult as a position in our armed forces as there has been the last 20 years. because that commander and responsibility for wars in iraq and afghanistan as well as all of the middle east. he performed every job that he's ever been called upon to take with incredible decency, honesty, and professionalism. each office, each command that he had, he left those commands stronger than when he took them over. so it is a great privilege to introduce someone you all know a lot about, the 28th secretary of defense, secretary-general lloyd james austin the third. thank you. [applause] >> thank you secretary hagel for that very generous introduction. thank you for your brave service to our country and vietnam and your lifetime of leadership by example as a public servant. after such a great introduction, i should probably just sit down. i also think secretary mcdonough for your extraordinary efforts on behalf of american veterans. ladies

soldiers, er, no adventurous approaches are used, er, the general staff it is quite professional for this , so it is necessary to go on the defensivest, to force the enemy to go on the defensive, after that introduce a conversation about drawing a contour or conducting a code of offensive actions in essence in the east of ukraine, we are not voicing the details of them now informs the general staff, we are keeping silent about what is happening in the east, we can only talk about belarus in general for a few weeks. we somehow do not actively discuss their participation in this war, although in october the institute for the study of war actively observed the arrival of echelons with russian military and there under baranovichi, there is even a training ground the size of two football fields. please tell me this increase in the russian military there immediately further, what it can lead to, why this week of information like this there was no active information about belarus. because all the zhrlov forces are concentrating the territory of ukraine with the russian grouping of troops in the east and south, and therefore the forces the

kherson yes well, i think that they will explain through the ministry of defense and the general staff that it was their decisions will try to completely abstract this story from putin and accordingly, i think that they will to show other alleged victories or in the donetsk region, where they still have the opportunity although there 3 m a day to iron or it is possible with some kind of attacks or others, but now they have started, i see, discussing in telegram channels that turn off all communication to ukraine, all electricity supply there, i don't know what it's called when there is an explosion in space over the country and it can be electromagnetic waves, yes, that 's also what they've been talking about lately well, i don't know how much will be accepted by our partners in the west. it seems to me that it is negative and there may be some bombardment of bunkers. i think that is why they are not sure that they will intimidate. please explain, tatiana, how much we do not trust the words of russia, we do not trust their reports. they report on it is very clear to kherson that we are keeping our military for us, it will co

procedures if there are certain rules established by the ministry of defense of ukraine and the general staff, which is primarily related tontee of safety, guarantees of life and health of journalists, then they should be followed. and those who do not follow them, they create problems for the military, so this is from the point of view, it is worth considering a comment from the operational command south , in accordance with the order of the 73rd commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, it is determined that in the combat zone , the order of work of journalists is determined by the commander of the relevant unit in whose area of ​​responsibility is the settlement where they want to go to get journalists, and it is he who gives permission for such work only accompanied by a press officer in the appropriate order and with the presence of an accreditation card and submission of their own application, it has always been the case that some journalists got there. but it is the same as people who cross the street at a red light, everyone they know that you can't do this, it's officially forbidden, but they still go and

the data of the general staff as of on november 14, the aggressor country lost its advantage over ukraine in the sky. the ministry of defense of great britain is convinced that, according totish intelligence, russia already lacks experienced aircrews and aircraft. of russia's planes incredibly far exceeds their capacity to produce new gliders the time needed to train competent pilots further reduces russia's ability to restore the combat potential of aviation from the intelligence report of great britain kirill novikov aviation specialist member of the lviv defense cluster panorovikov good night good night good night studio let 's start with that that was almost 9 months ago before the full-scale russian invasion of ukraine , what did the balance of forces look like at that time if we we are talking about the air force and means, how did it change during these almost 9 months, the balance of forces was balanced, if you can hear it, tell me, i hear you, we hear you , yes, the balance of forces was, if i am not mistaken, 10 to one according to the available aircraft equipment, but the equipment that was used in the sky, the ratio of it was i.e. combat-capable equipment to c

general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. mr. general, i congratulate you. i also congratulate you, but i would first like to ask you about the capabilities of our air defense when we hear that we cannot intercept ballistic missiles , certain questions still arise because when we look at our tambuk m1 complex or look on the s300 ptps complexes or the s300v complex and we open the technical indicators there, then there you can find the statement that these complexes can actually intercept ballistic missiles under certain conditions. please tell us what we can from the point of view countering ballistic missiles. and why can't we use the complexes that we already have in the arsenal of the ukrainian army, our base is occupied by the missile complex that is currently in the air force, it is for infrastructure facilities, the city in the capital is understandable for this kind of object, that is, the old object anti-aircraft defense is the s300 and m1 complexes, they are soviet, when they were developed for the purpose of destroying aerodynamic targets, aerodynamic, i emphasize, which includes airplanes or winged apartments missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, b

"our boys," they cry, "thank you! we prayed for you to come!" kherson was the kremlin's crowning achievement, holding the region captive since the start of the invasion, and forcing ukrainians to spend russian rubles, fly the russian flag, even move their clocks forward one hour to moscow time. today, ukrainian forces are winding it back, reclaiming villages one by one. but, with extreme caution. russian forces leave behind a deadly trail of mines and booby traps, and they still hold the city of kherson itself. and it could, after all, be a trap. "the enemy," says president zelenskyy, "does not hand out gifts." but the enemy has suffered loss after loss in recent months, and may be on the brink. >> it will take some time until ukra

development of events there, and the president and the general staff inform us that the defense forces are advancing in the donetsk direction, instead , due tohe weather not everything is happening so intensively, but it is there in the direction of luhansk that the russians are dumping their remnants, so the shortages, so to speak, and so the regional military administration says in sessions with corpses, that means there will be even more asserts serhii gaidai, why not bakhmut, for example, not avdiyivka, over which they are really fighting like a man against a wall and can't do anything, in the end they decide to blame it on luhansk region despite the fact that we are fighting against a state that has a clear distribution, such a political verticals well, how can we pass these eyes? here, the prints will turn up and they hold this handsome wagner on the barrel of wagner, well, or these are the so-called first and second army corps, even taking into account the fact that russia there announced the annexation of our temporary occupied donbas, well, the first and second army corps still retain a certain independence, the autonomy of manageme

to the reports of the general staff, the enemy shelled the village of novokiivka, which was recently in the occupied territory, and therefore our soldiers began to break through other directions to break the defenseovites, donetsk region, the crimean bridge is still half-destroyed and therefore unable to provide the necessary replenishment to the front, on the other hand, the railway connection through volnovakha to melitopol is extremely dangerous, because the ukrainian positions are only 25 km away in ugledar, that is why the enemy became so active at the end of october. in this direction, his goal is to knock out our troops from ugledar and the great novosilka and push back the armed forces of ukraine further from the railway, and ideally to launch a full-scale attack on kurakhove, which is also a large logistics center , at first the russians managed to capture the south-eastern part of the village of pavlivka, in which our first line of defense is located, however, within a few days, the armed forces of ukraine launched a counteroffensive and actually recaptured pavlivka, at the same time they are aggressively trying to bypass our defensive positions from the west and are advancing towards p

general mile. uh, chief of the joint chiefs of staff dmitry excuse you for a second peru i want to remind you that secretary of defenseis also a very distinguished general, who uh, well, really a combat general, and i have not dealt with him since he became secretary of defense . well , i ran into him. during his previous career, and he is certainly a team man he does what others expect him to buy for him. it's a matter of honor, but he is a competent person reasonable. that’s exactly what i’m talking about, dmitry, because i said that conflicting signals are coming from washington, and to a large extent these conflicting signals are related to what is inside the biden administration. clearly, there was a split. there is no single point of view on how to proceed further with regard to the ukrainian conflict, and the situation is absolutely similar to the one that was in 2011 in the administration of barack obama in relation to the libyan war, and when the military a wing of the administration represented by secretary of defense robert gates and the head of the then- joint joint chiefs of staff committee. michael malin
