] well, in yesterday's address he said that bakhmut gives one of the greatest results of the entire war, the american institute for the study of war in its current report notes that the city is not of fundamental importance either operationally or strategically, but ukraine's struggle for bakhmut has become strategically important due to the current composition of russian forces. deployed in this area, the battle of bakhmut could actually seriously undermine the best forces of the wagner pvk, depriving russia of several of its most effective shock units, which are the hardest to replace analysts of the institute of war studies note that the ukrainian military describes the situation around bahmut this is how the enemy's multiple numerical advantage and a constant wave of attacks by russian units report from bahmut we will show you further the multiple numerical advantage and constant waves of assaults by russian units this is how they describe the situation around bahmut ukrainian defenders defending that line , volodymyr and yury, fighters of the 30th brigade of the armed forces of ukraine , their unit, among others, restr

how is it will affect the war in ukraine about this today svoboda life russian troops have almost reached the center of the city of bakhmut , the american institute for the study of war states in its review, referring to geolocated videos, the institute's analysts write in particular that the founder of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhin, was yesterday in the building of the bakhmut fifth school, which is less than a kilometer southeast of the city council. in addition , the war research institute, citing geo-located images, reports that russian troops have advanced in the northwest of the city in the industrial zone and along the streets of zelena and oleksandra kolpakova is a couple of kilometers from the very center of bakhmut, the authors of the summary note that in the assault of bakhmut, mercenaries from wagner's group help mercenaries from wagner's group, more precisely, regular units of the russian army, the ukrainian general staff in its morning briefing indirectly confirmed that bakhmut is almost surrounded, in particular, the general staff reported that in the direction of bakhmut, russian troops are continuing their assault on the city of bakhmut,

withdrawal of the troops of the armed forces of ukraine and from this area, which took place the day before, this is stated in the current summary of the american institute for the study of war on the capture of the eastern part of the city. the leader of the wagner group, yevgeny prigozhyn, also reports. kramatorsk and slavyansk in donbass, however, at the institute for the study of war, analysts believe that this is not the case . they assume that in the event of the seizure of all the bahmut, the russian troops will not be able to to develop an offensive due to limited resources, the commander of the ground forces of the ukrainian armed forces oleksandr syrskyi came to bakhmut for the fourth time in the last month, on his telegram channel he published a video of the presentation of state awards to the defenders of the city and said that the armed forces of ukraine are doing everything so that russia in bakhmut and in general in the war finds itself in a situation similar to tsukswang is a term when any move by a player leads to a deterioration of his position , at the same time, nato secretary general jan stoltenberg today suggested that bakhmut may fall in the next few d

most likely the russian military has taken control of the eastern part of bakhmutka, i will remind you about this , it was discussed at the building of the american institute for the study of war literally three days ago. and later, the leader announced the capture of the eastern part of the city group of wagner yevgeny prigozhin together with the eastern part of bakhmut occupied by wagner obviously came a temporary tactical pause in the direction of the city center in the institute for the study of war does not observe well, it is not yet clear whether the operational advantage of the russian forces will be preserved during future attempts to capture the city, it is also unknown, as i already said, the american institute for the study of war reports about this in its already current report, at the same time, as analysts write , russian forces are preparing to resume offensive operations in the ughledar region of the donetsk region, however, constant problems with personnel and ammunition will probably restrain their progress , analysts believe. well, in the neighboring flank with the russian army continues its attempts to break through and attack the ukrainian troops with a b

positions on the eastern bank of the bakhmutka river, taking into account the latest the destruction of the railway bridge across the river in southeastern bakhmut, the institute for the study of war believes that the urban battles in bakhmut can further worsen the already exhausted russian forces, similar to what happened during the withdrawal of the armed forces from the severodnotsk-lysichansk line, which actually ended the russian offensive operations in luhansk donetsk regions in the summer of the 22nd year, at the same time, the american edition of the world street journal writes that despite the significant losses of the wagner group, it was possible to achieve certain results with the help of journalists point out that the goal of the wagner command was not so much to capture the city as to exhaust the ukrainian military to a certain extent, this plan worked because in 8 months of fighting for the city, ukraine lost part of the troops necessary for the spring offensive, it is stated in the publication the walt street journal that what the soldiers of the armed forces themselves tell of the forces of ukraine that still remain in bahmut and defend its surroundings, listen, w

even more so that they will be able to take the city with frontal assaults from the report of the institute for the study of warition , products and medicines are delivered to the defenders of bakhmut, there is also the possibility of taking out the wounded in this according to a certain spokesman of the eastern group of the armed forces of ukraine serhiy cherevaty, he confirmed that the russian invaders are destroying bridges to disrupt logistics against our armed forces are finding other ways to deliver reinforcements and weapons to the battlefield, expert serhiy grabsky mr. grabsky good morning good morning good morning how do you assess the situation around bakhmut state for today, well, for today, one must understand that the situation there is extremely difficult and the enemy manages to advance in the very place to say that this advance is critical hmm it is still too early to talk about it, although our troops will most likely withdraw beyond the bakhmutka river, but this is a zone of so-called low-rise buildings, and therefore we continue to defend the city, as i said, a difficult situation persists in

the age of this ripper , and yesterday there really were negotiations on the russian side that they raised the wreckage of this reaper from the black sea, mr. serhiy, the day before the institute for the study of waraid that most likely putin will not announce another mobilization, and already today there was also information from the same institute for the study of war that 400 000 new contract workers, will we have enough strength against the next batch of russians who will attack our military with weapons in hand, well, now we are talking about the fact that there are about 320-360,000 russian occupiers on the territory of ukraine, this is actually twice as many as at the beginning of the invasion taking into account our defense sector in the range of 700,000 who were mobilized in the first wave, and they are also in the process of military operations, then i think that from the point of view of manpower at the current stage there is a certain parity, which is evidenced by this, and the situation on the front line because after starting the counteroffensive at the beginning of february, we see that there are no special changes on all the front lines in the five main areas, except for bahmut and

the issue of war and peace. putin's support that russia needs for the war against ukraine is convinced of this in the american institute for the study by the different views that russia and china demonstrated in the articles following the meeting, in particular, moscow writes about cooperation with the deceased for the sake of the multipolarity of the world , contrary to the west's turn, china is not about any confrontation says well, everyone calls the deceased a third-party mediator in russia's war. putin writes that beijing is ready to play a constructive role in resolving the crisis, that is , he hopes that everyone supports an aggressive the position of the kremlin regarding the event, experts believe that all this shows that the chinese leader is not inclined to fully provide putin with economic and political support . during yesterday's meeting , either putin tried to convince xi jinping to provide help to continue the war in ukraine, or all of xi jinping convinced putin to withdraw his troops. against ukraine, she got involved in such a game that she no longer has many opportunities , that is, how much does she write under t

the president of the american university in kyiv, deno raison . thank you for inviting us. yes , the analysts of the institute for the study of war possible . there is always enough of something, more is always needed, i think that now the ukrainian army has really come with excellent training compared to previous years. we also understand that with the military potential and resources that are now in ukraine, taking into account the counteroffensives that we have already seen in the autumn, in particular in the kharkiv direction, we we can understand that ukraine has everything in order to strategically repeat this success and eventually repel the russian army regarding the uz of your last interviews, you said that the ukrainian army is looking for the right time to start a successful counteroffensive, or how long do we have to wait until spring, autumn, or maybe even next year, and in fact, i understand that the command of ukraine, with which, in principle, i do not currently have direct relations, but i understand that the university in kyiv, to which i am related we are based on intelligence intelligence and in general, i und

of kadyrov's fears, the demonstrative reaction of ramzan kadyrov to the attack on the police station in chechnya indicates concern about the stability of his authoritarian rule, analysts of the same institute for the study of war think so. the institute drew attention to the statement of kadyrov, who reported that on the night of march 28, chechen security forces killed two men who they tried to carry out an attack and even a division of the police. well , analysts note that kadyrov's special forces university is located there in chechnya, although still it is not known for certain whether the attack was related to this educational institution. well, returning to the topic of the religious former abbot of the kyiv-pechersk lavra. well, he still considers himself the abbot of pavlo mercedes. the world knows that pavlo lebid made a video address to the presidential office of president zelensky, where he called the ukrainian president and his entourage i create, well , i would say a bunch of people create a ukrainian word and create a russian one, and the minister of the commission and the minister of culture, oleksandr tkachenko, called him obsessed with rampage of malice, hatred and diabolical increase, well, i

the clip of washington's fears that beijing is considering the possibility of sending the russian army lethal weapons this is what it says in the summary of the american institute for the study of wargh-ranking us officials believe that china is seriously considering the possibility of selling combat drones to russia , as well as 122-millimeter and 152-millimeter artillery shells, russian and chinese officials are also reported to have made plans to send drones to russia under forged shipping documents to avoid international sanctions , which the chinese deny and the u.s. warns the u.s. will respond to any lethal support china provides to russia , we have warned china very clearly of the consequences providing such support, we will not hesitate to target, for example, chinese companies or individuals who violate our sanctions or other the way they participate in supporting the russian military efforts, the balance and efforts to protect belarus and personal assets, in particular after the attack by unknown people in the homelands, i think that there will be an option similar to the one with kazakhstan , remember when russia there was actually a people's uprising and russia suppress

sales, but the analysts of the american institute for the study of war came to the opinion that with such a trip to china, the belarusian dictator intends to increase chinese influence in belarus and thereby protect himself from the influence of moscow do you agree with this opinion and will lukashenko help china ? china will look for uh out of your interests. the average appendage for china is a market and no more, the more they will not be considered as eh as partners a-a what can be offered as a sleight-of-hand by some china with the volume of the economy eh and well and the army’s sambitsiyam of the 50th year will not capture half the world and eh, what can he offer them, and basically a tractor belarus does not make its own viburnum fertilizers, that is, it is a lot of viburnum fertilizer, and it is not necessary . that is, it does not have what is interesting to china at the highest level, yes, they will play with it a little, eh, for pictures for the media, but no more, eh, lukashenko even before before going to china, he made an interesting statement about the fact that belar

that is, they will be in a pair of sorts with coulters they will fulfill the first task of any army quite successfully to destroy the enemy at the institute for the study of war, which is located in the united states of america . from the point of view of taking bahmut is necessary but not sufficient for further russian advance in donetsk region and russian forces have already suffered such heavy losses in the battles for the city or their attack will most likely reach a climax after they capture it if not before i quote experts some western reports recently assumed that ukraine spends its own and summer forces and scarce equipment mainly on the convicted mercenaries of the wagner pvk, who are simply cannon fodder, and noted that the size would be unprofitable for ukraine even at a high the ratio of russian and ukrainian losses in general, this observation is fair, although the number of russian convicts suitable for combat operations is not unlimited, and the final destruction of tens of thousands of them bakhmuts means that they will not be available for more important battles, mr. colonel , what do you think or do you agree with the statement institute for

the russian federation already has fragments of the mq9 ripper . and the pentagon probably predicted the destruction of components that could be of importance to the enemy at the same institute for the study of war situation will not lead to an escalation of the conflict maksym grabovskyi radio svoboda the incident with the american drone over the black sea already has its first consequences british german fighter jets for the first time jointly intercepted a russian plane near the airspace of estonia and this is how bbc correspondents report western aviation intercepts military aircraft of the air force forces of russia quite often about this being the first such joint operation of the air forces of great britain and germany, and bbc correspondents believe that this is the consequence of the incident in the black sea, an expert on international security of the yaka kuchereva foundation for democratic initiatives taras zoftenko joins our broadcast taras my congratulations, what happened from your point of view yesterday over the black sea how can it be qualified does this happen often ? happened - this is such a logical continuation of ancient russian behavior that completely ignores all the bas

for bakhmut can significantly reduce the combat readiness of units of the wagner pvk . and this will deprive russia of a part of the most effective troops of this opinion at the institute for the study of war , according to analysts, the russian forces in bakhmut are now reinforced, so to speak, by the best wagnerites, as well as russian airborne units. and this undermines russian military capabilities, because the armed forces of ukraine constantly counterattack and do not allow the enemy to advance the front line - they say in the institute that victory for ukraine is not only the deoccupation of populated areas, but also the mass destruction of russians and their equipment, and it is our soldiers on the bakhmut direction who destroy the most this was stated by the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, and added that the enemy surpasses the ukrainian military in the number of personnel and weapons, but under these conditions, the defenders continue bravely and in fact on parity to resist him all, well, i really want news about the liberation of certain territories, and this is considered a victory. at the same time, the fact that for several months in a row, our brave sold

at the same time as the appearance of chinese objects in the sky over the united states , in particular, and for propaganda purposes, they believe in the institute for the study of warmay have tried to feed the information narrative on the same day when something like this happens between china and the united states, aviation experts indicate these bullets in different weight categories chinese 30 m in diameter russian maximum two andrii hetman dmytro savchuk voice of america 20,000 new companies and billions of dollars in contributions to the state budget these are the results of the first year of life of ukrainian refugees in poland local experts talk about the positive impact on the economy poles are surprised by the ingenuity and work capacity of ukrainians and the immigrants themselves say that after the pandemic and the war they ready for any challenges, what businesses are being started by ukrainians in poland lesya bakalets will tell from warsaw about 1 million ukrainian refugees are now living in poland in of the beginning of a full-scale invasion. they not only managed to break the stereotype of immigrants as a burden for the local economy, but also proved

i think that in the coming weeks, this will be a promising prospect for them. well, the institute for the study of wars supplement the information yesterday in its review, they believe that the russian the efforts around bahmut have reached a climax that it will not be so active in the future, well, very, very carefully, well, look, this is the institute for the study of war. i understand that everyone refers to it , but they are there 7-8 thousand km from ukraine, several time zones, how do they perceive the situation? well, no there is always an adequate and correct one, so please for you and for your viewers, that is, if they also write sv - it does not mean that wow, this is a great last resort, don't trust anyone anymore, we have our military general staff of the intelligence department they are our political leadership. well, they understand more on the ground . therefore, for now, we are cautiously accepting such a scarf. we can see that if in the next few weeks, and the russians do not throw in additional reserves, then we can say that the wagnerites have exhausted all the russians on themselv

located on the front line and don. yet, province of d. fca is another stubborn thorn in the sight of russian troops trying to advance west data gathered by the institute for the study of war. she is, the kremlin forces had almost surround at the city, an apparent attempt to cut of def go off from its western supply lines so far like back moot f. d. fca has held out ukrainian treat say they're managing to stop russian forces from breaking through the defense line. but commanders are having to way up the use of every sheylan bullet. you look, we are trying to save him emission with as much as we can possibly in case this breakthrough will deploy. the cities fierce defense has entered a reputation as a 2nd front line fortress and local say of diva has an advantage over back moot. it's been on the frontline since the done best conflict started in 2014. notice this is a very serious fortification line. all armed concrete with bunker's, israel fortress is protected better than boat than you boggled the fortress or not. the ukrainian government has advised of div got people not to take their chances of voluntary evacuation effort has emptied the city of most of its 25000 residen

of delusion. even if the institute for the study of war writes there, lukashenko can agree on the supply of weaponsbut as we can see, russia calmly buys paradise drones. why am i lukashenko? the economic situation and he may simply not want to depend solely on the feedback of russian aid, he may want to sell some tractors or get some weapons or get some towers for the security forces, well, that is , a lot of problems lukashenko himself can discuss from the flight if putin needs something from the iranians he will not send lukashenka there, he will send medvedev patrushev, well, it does not look like that. i think that this is not a completely incorrect assessment of reality, but it all indicates that all these countries are rallying towards moscow and lukashenko to beijing, medvedev to leave, then you don't go to moscow, then patroshev to iran, then lukashenka to iran, they and you, all these people are in a state of communication with each other because they are in such a common defense, but come on russia china tairan will be held already started from today, it seems in the uman bay of training

geo-located videos , analysts of the institute write that russian forces have a slight advance in the south and southwest of bakhmut. well, a day earlier, the institute for the study of war wrote that according to its calculations, the units of the wagner group as a result of many months of fighting, approximately two-thirds of the territory of bakhmut was occupied, the highest military commander of the united states, general mark milley, said that there are about six thousand experienced fighters fighting in bakhmut and 20-30 thousand or of new recruits of the wagner group, including the recruited prisoners of milli, in a comment, sianen said that the wagnerites are already suffering large , very large losses, in particular, and because the ukrainians organized a very effective defense, how do ukrainian tanks work under bakhmut during the battles for the city, see the report further in bahamian direction, they supported our infantry, destroyed the infantry dugouts, we expect a very strong reinforcement with small equipment, appreciate the equipment, modern modern weapons, and we are jumping with opportunities, more, wider, their opportunities i would like to sit for the

for his political party. he has been released on bail. now. russia's wagner mercenary group has entered a tactical pores in bar moot. the u. s. based institute for the study of war, saying that fighters may have paused there, offensive on bar moot because they're waiting for russian reinforcements. wagner fighters have so far spearheaded the attack on the ukrainian city. earlier the groups leader claimed moscow had cut off official communication with him after he criticized rushes, defense ministry, and a public appeal for ammunition. and we can get more from military analyst and former military intelligence officer, frank lead, which, who joins us from the u. k. good to see you, frank. now we're hearing about this tactical pause. can you tell us what this actually means? good afternoon on a tactical pause. commute, a number of things, but usually what it means is you take her, you hold corporations or at least slow them down to look, listen and try and determine what's going on. in this case, it seems that what's happened is that wagner, if we were to believe the, the institute for the study of war that wagner has run into serious problems and it has effectivel

by the way, the institute for the study of war wrote about the fact that the kremlin will continue to lukashenko , in particular, for cooperation with iran, let's say, we talked about china and lukashenko . putin himself cannot negotiate with the stars. i think that lukashenko. when he goes to beijing regarding tigran, he solves his own problems. this is also an exaggeration of what lukashenka pushed. of political and economic responsibility. but at the same time, it must be understood that for iran or china he is an independent dictator , well, this is a completely logical role because, you know , mussolini was an ally of hitler, but it is not necessary to carry out foreign policy tasks. hitler had his own political interests and tried to implement them maybe he didn't have a lot of room for maneuver, but nevertheless , lukashenko also had interests, it is quite obvious that he is not coming to iran in order to promote some russian interests there just delusional even if the institute for the study of war writes there, lukashenko can agree on the supply of weapons, i will tell myself

for that to ukraine. now, in russia's wagner mercenary group has entered a tactical pause in the us based institute for the study of war is saying, a fighters may have paused there, offensive on mute, because they're waiting for russian reinforcements. now, wagner fighters have so far spearheaded the attack on the ukrainian city and earlier the groups leader claimed that moscow had cut off official communication with him. after he criticized rushes, defense ministry in the public appeal for more ammunition military analyst and former military intelligence office of frank lead, which is in the u. k. and he told me earlier what a tactical pause actually means. good afternoon, you're a tactical cause committee, a number of things. but usually what it means is you take a whole cooperation, are really slow them down to look lesson and try and determine what's going on. in this case, it seems that what's happened is that wagner, if we were to believe the, the institute for the study of war that wagner has run into serious problems and it has effectively lost the capability to proceed. for the moment. one is given to suspect

and before moving on to this, i want to turn to the analysis of the institute for the study of war again of the russian offensive in the bakhmut area and the stopped russian offensive in the ugledar area, the russian offensive that stopped in the luhansk region creates good conditions for ukrainian counter -offensive operations, they believe there eh , which is obviously being depleted, given the state of the ukrainian forces, which what is happening to them is getting worse thanks to eh western technology , thanks to the fact that they are beginning to return eh military personnel who have undergone training, in fact, everything together and the weather conditions because the high-quality armored vehicles that are moving towards us and , first of all, over the heavy tanks leopard-2 challenger two abrams weigh more than 70 tons and we understand that they cannot fight in soft ground and therefore, it is late spring, early summer , and our soldiers are trained, and most importantly, the potential acquisition of aviation, all this will help us turn the tide of this war, that is why the rus

of back mort. located on the front line and daniel province of defect is another stubborn thorn in the side of russian troops. trying to advance west data gathered by the institute for the study of war shows. the kremlin forces have almost a round at the city. an apparent attempt to cut of d fca off from its western supply lines so far like back mood f. d fca has held out ukrainian trip, say they're managing to stop russian forces from breaking through their defense line. but commanders are having to way up the use of every shell and bullet you look for, but we are trying to serve him emotion with as much as we can possibly encased this breakthrough. the broil. the city's fierce defence has ended to reputation as a 2nd front line fortress and local. se of diva hath an advantage over by moot, it's been on the frontline since the don bass conflict started in 2014 robins. this is a very serious fortification line. all armed concrete with bunker's, israel fortress is protected better than bottled than you bottled the fortress or not, the ukrainian government has advised of div got people not to take their chances. of voluntary evacuation effort has emptied the city of most of its 25000

think tank the institute for the study of war. it's saying that the wagner groups offensive is likely nearing culmination. what do you make of that statement? i think combination means exhaustion. that's kind of the military speak for that. there certainly sense that the wagner group has been sending in huge numbers of people. these of people have been recruited in russia's prisons and were offered a lot of money, but ultimately not a lot of preparation, training, and are being basically sent to their deaths. in large numbers. i have is still is the russian regular army that will continue to head for buffalo. the russian leadership has basically staked a lot to taking this city and spent months doing it. so there's will kind of investment there in terms of become symbolism. but there is certainly a sense that ukrainian troops are still there against all the expectations. couple of weeks ago we were pretty much certain seemed like russian for the ukrainians rather would retreat, that they would take their manpower away that the risk

for control of bakhmut. a u.s. think tank said wednesday personnel losses and ammunition shortages are making it difficult for moscow's fces to recapture the central part of the city. the institute for the study of warays the overall pace of russian operations in ukraine appears to have decreased compared to previous weeks. now the british defense minister is reporting something similar in the region and said thursday that russian attempts to assault the battleground of vuhledar have almost certainly slowed over the past week. this follows repeated costly failed attacks over the previous three months. the ministry announced the army will get new artillery systems to replace the ones it gave ukraine. a swedish developed system is a howitzer mounted on an all terrain vehicle. >>> several other nato countries have been providing ukraine with weapons. poland is preparing to give some to the country in what would be a first for the military alliance. fighter jets. >> translator: firstly, literally within the next few days we will hand over, as far as i remember, four aircraft to ukraine in full working order. the rest are being prepared, serviced and will be successfully handed over. >> the polish presid

exactly the length of the automatic queue, although sooner or later someone will go to his side to surrender and still sign the issue of the school, experts of the american institute for the study of war say that the armed forces of ukraine are currently exhausting the russian troops creating favorable conditions for a counteroffensive according to the data of this institute - this is an analytical structure, the culmination of the offensive of the occupiers around bakhmut is inevitable , their offensive near ugledar has already been completed and the offensive in luhansk region has been stopped. this creates strong the conditions for the future ukrainian contrast, before february and january, we quite often heard from the leaders of the military leaders of the ukrainian military leaders that the counteroffensive of the ukrainian troops was being prepared, then these conversations were moved with the offensive of the russian federation, russia threatened, but still, the counteroffensive as they see it as predicted by american experts, it is possible and it may be precisely in the bakhmut area. how do you assess this situation now? how do you assess the capabilities of the ukrainian tr

based institute for the study of war said, fights as may have paused there, offensive on bad mood, waiting for russian reinforcements. wagner fighters had so far spearheaded the attack on the ukrainian city. earlier the head of the group claimed that moscow had cast off official communication with him after he criticized russia's defense ministry in a public appeal for ammunition. and i'm joined now by d. w. i mean se, who's in cave? i mean, we're hearing about this taxi corporation. we'll pause. can you tell us more about what this actually means? the analysts based this assessment on the fact that there have been no reports of russian offensives in back mood this morning. now russia can afford to take a tactical pause there because now that they've taken all the territory in that city up to the river that divides the city and half. it's very unlikely that ukraine could make any advances into their front line um, without a significant reinforcement. so which have not happened so far. so this tactical pause could be based on the fact that they need a break. it could be due to the am report

will discuss with a military expert, the president of the american university in kyiv, den raison, what was invited. yes, the analysts of the institute for the study of waration as successfully as possible. the counteroffensive, then the name of the team of the institute , they research the topic phenomenally. i do not agree with this assessment. i think that we have there is always something that is not enough. more is always needed. i think that now the ukrainian army has really undergone excellent training compared to previous years. we also understand that with the military potential and resources that ukraine currently has, considering the counteroffensives that we already saw in the fall , in particular in kharkiv directly , we can understand that ukraine has everything in order to strategically repeat this success and eventually push back the russian army regarding the uz of your last interviews, you said that the ukrainian army is looking for the right time to to start a successful counteroffensive or how long should we wait until spring until autumn or maybe until next year, and in fact i actually understand that the command of ukraine, with whi

think tank the institute for the study of war. it's saying the wagner groups offensive is likely nearing culmination. what do you make of that statement? well, i think combination in the kind of military speak means exhaustion. there's a real sense that the viking group that has because a lot of people, especially from russia jails has been going through boots of the grant at an incredible speed, has not tried to really minimize those losses. have done somebody risky attacks on ukrainian positions and that they are now desperate for more supplies in terms of theory. but also manpower. we've got the news from russia that they are trying to recruit many of the 30000 new fighters in the next couple of months. obviously, they're still the russian regular only that could take that place. and in the sense that the russian, the ship has invested. so much at least symbolically in, but it would be the 1st significant victory for months that they are going to send in more resources and going to keep trying to get the city which, you know, pr

for the results . will be ready, i didn't know a5 what a monster we see. and putin is called the peace plan of the regime, well, it's interesting that here is the institute for the study of waration, we often remember the analysts of this organization on our broadcasts. here they have already written certain conclusions after what they saw on the first by the declaration of all the lands during the protocol part of this part, they say that zemfin made his declaration very restrained, and perhaps this indicates that china still does not decide to support russia in this conflict. well, there is support from the chinese side for russians in this constitution carelessly go to support and in general, but a-a series of this support and the details of this support, we know each other in general china no, they are not ready to help the russians much, they certainly buy oil, which the russians can’t buy now to sell on demand but they will dig. they are at the same price for which we know in the past that china is not ready, but clearly, they are not ready to help, but they are afraid of sanctions, and for the same reason, they are not ready, but they are sending weapons from russia .

well, the same opinion is shared by the analysts of the institute for the study of war of the united states of america. and let's look at the operational situation with bachmut from a serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine . hello everyone, let something happen. it's quiet, big, somewhere , you can hear it, the arrow is there, where everything is. they are fighting there. they also tell me that it is quite difficult there right now. what do you say ? what will russia gain and does it have any further intentions after that? if they suddenly take this city , what will they gain? there for eight or nine months, they simply put their military there in order to take this city because they are not capable of anything else, or in other areas of the front, because the russian federation really lacks neither the strength nor the resources of the russian invader , more specifically they really don't have enough artillery shells are finally enough, thank god, just for this direction, at least for those wagner terrorists whom they are trying to throw wave after wave at the positions of the ar

the occupiers were concentrated were hit. three ammunition depots and four means of radio-electronic warfare of the invaders. in the report of the institute for the study of war, he used meetings with putin to celebrate the successes of his fighters in ukraine, analysts note that kadyrov was visibly nervous that may indicate that he was under considerable pressure, the chechens currently play a minimal role at the front, and therefore kadyrov fears that he is losing the favor of the master of the kremlin. putin may hope that he has increased the number of chechens at the front due to constant losses of russian forces, according to the report, another 740 occupiers received hot tickets to hell, a total of 160,540 russians have already been officially exempted from paying reparations, and the armed forces of ukraine helped him with this , 16 artillery systems, 15 armored combat vehicles, 13 vehicles, 10 tanks, five units of special equipment, two rocket launchers and one anti -aircraft defense system, the invaders were not counted, the attackers and 11 drones in the general staff once again reminded us of these approximate data, they are mastering leopard 2 thi

come to the point where we will have to break through the closed ring of ours, well , the enemy analysts of the american institute for the study of ware fact that the troops of the russian federation are now increasing the pace of their offensive operations in the avdiyivka area with the aim of encircling the settlement, well, that is, that they are still trying to get to avdiyivka from bakhmut and ugledar, in what way do you what do you say? well, according to the pace of events on the eastern front, what can the russians do, and what can't they? yes, we can see that we are all focused on bakhmut. there is a really difficult situation, but we also see that the enemy is now no less saying that bakhmut is like a symbol of resistance there was another one in ukraine, where our soldiers are fighting heroically. but the enemy is really starting to pose a threat, and we ourselves, the avdi residents, can see there, even on the map , which can be seen in open resources, that they are also trying to do there is an encirclement, therefore there are also serious battles going on there, they are no less serious than tabakhmuti, as well as mary

the eastern part of the city to the bakhmutko river . the main attack of the russians is not in the city, but from the north around the city. the experts of the american institute for the study of war believe that the armed forces of ukraine in the bakhmut area are exhausting russian troops, creating favorable conditions for a counteroffensive. igor, stick to which version? are we exhausting russian troops and preparing a counterattack ? troops in the area of ​​bakhmut see well, first of all, i would pay attention to what we will say, so what are the circumstances of this defense of bakhmut, if i am not mistaken, almost 8 months, we are talking about bakhmut in general, starting from june, as far as my memory serves, after popasna, in fact, after , well, actually , after the loss of the city of popasna, there was talk of bakhmut. today, the russians, well, those who entered the city agglomeration have roughly the same chances as our ukrainian troops, the only thing is that we are in our positions. the question of repelling the road is more likely that the bad russians will grind the logistical path that they frequent there in the bakhmut ravine in order to reduce the possibility of

for more than six months. the kremlin considers the capture of this city important from the point of view of full control over donbas. of the american institute for the study of war that the russians are advancing in bakhmut and , after analyzing their geolocation data, came to the conclusion that they reached almost the center of the city earlier, i will remind the same experts of the institute study of the war and noted the slowing down of the pace of russian offensive operations and said that ukraine has a chance to regain the initiative on the battlefield and launch a counteroffensive. meanwhile , the tanks promised by the west are beginning to arrive in ukraine. arrived from portugal already in ukraine british challenge 2 information about them was confirmed in the ministry of defense later the video was made public by the minister oleksiy reznikov , he was one of the first to ride on challengers, which are already on ukrainian territory, this is great, ben, the minister of defense of great britain - these are very good machines, thank you very much on behalf of ukraine , that's what reznikov said, ukraine called for resistance to putin's nuclear blackmail a

that's according to the us based institute for the study of war, which said fighters may have paused there offensive on bach mote while waiting for russian reinforcements. wagner fighters have so far spearheaded the attack on the ukrainian city. india and australia have committed to cooperating more closely on defense and security to ensure stability in the in the pacific region. australian prime minister anthony albany is in india and holding talks with prime minister nor renfro moody. both leaders said they were concerned about increasingly uncertain global security environment. will iran and saudi arabia have agreed to re establish diplomatic relations and re open embassies within 2 months after a 7 year diplomatic breach, which has field tensions in the gulf, and deep and conflicts from yemen to syria. the agreement was reached after talks in beijing which held it as a victory for dialogue. and that ravia has lain to run for miss lind road attacks and condemns oil facilities in recent years. young and iran lined who the movement has also carried out cross border missile and drove

inward towards ukraine or so on so that is the kind of rare and perhaps worrying admission from general staff, but by analysis of the institute for the study of war, it says russians have been taking control of an industrial area in the north of bakhmut and increase overall control over the city's surface area from 60% to 65%, so that is obviously a majority of the town, but we are talking about the eastern suburbs, the southern and northern suburbs being in the hands of the russians while the city center is still held by ukrainian forces. mark: gulliver cragg reporting earlier from kharkiv. time for business. kate moody joins us. ceo of starbucks is in hot water as he faces accusations of unionbusting. >> labor unions have largely lost their luster in the united states over the last 50 years or so. just about 11 percent of american workers are represented at the moment. a growing number of starbucks employees, though, have voted to form unions in recent months. nearly 300 of its american branches. starbucks has yet to reach a contract agreement with any of its locations that have voted to unionize. the coffee chain's ceo faced sharp criticism fr

of them bakhmuts means that they will not be available for more important battles, mr. colonel, what do you think or do you agree with the statement of the institute for the study of war that bakhmut is not in essence, it is not significant from an operational or strategic point of view for the russians that they simply put their soldiers there, well, from a strategic point of view, it definitely does not have such a thing as eh behind the bahmut behind this border, if there are a few more lines of defense, one of the most powerful and practically unyielding this is a defense line in the slavic kramatorsk druzhkovka agglomeration that is impassable for the russians , because there is no point in fighting for bakhmut with the russians if there is an even more powerful line ahead. operative-tactical gathering in the temtotakian eh points eh bakhmut has a weight as it stands in the general system of eh defense in the general system of the front line, this is one of the brick system, and the loss of bakhmut for us is a waste allowed on the second frontier let it be a little higher, but nevertheless. well , it will have to be rebuilt anew, then it will hold the same following p

understand that the speed of russian advance on the territory of ukraine has decreased and in fact this is exactly what the ukrainian and what the american institute for the study of war said or you what do you think will happen further, if bakhmut remains under the control of ukraine, then it will be a very huge loss and failure for the russians, because they have already invested a lot in order to acquire it and actually initially in the second wave of the second stage of the war, russia was obsessed with this idea of ​​capturing bakhmut in order to then push back militarily and move further west and in particular to kharkiv and slavyansk, kramatorsk, other cities , and therefore now if russia loses bakhmut, it will be very unfortunate for indeed, their primary plan will fail and they will not have enough of her power, it will not be so easy for them to supply their troops, to control the logistical routes that are west of bakhmut to the northwest, that is, the troops have it in the military is in the military sense, but in general, politically, we understand that it would be such a political victory for putin if they took bakhmut, because putin wants to show someth
