iv yar is a small town located approximately halfway from bakhmut to kostiantynivka, a little to the side of the road, more than once, not twice, and not even 10 times. muscovites fired at it, in particular, with rockets, but that's what rich in the fact that after the new year, the line of military confrontation, in particular from the southeast , came much closer to the city and living here became well, it is simply deadly dangerous, very much , i was back a sunday ago, and yesterday in general, well , we arrived on the 22nd, we are leaving . our interlocutors, in fact, i decided to leave the city after yesterday's massive artillery strike by russia, a temporary volley toward the city, on monday evening, muscovites fired from rocket launchers and crushed more than a dozen in the city high-rise buildings and the very building where our eyes live, the interlocutor said, one person was killed, two more local residents were injured, but the real miracle is that during yesterday's attack there was no mass murder . reactive grads, in addition to a dozen high-rise buildings in this microd

the people here know that kostiantynivka could be next.rent: russia is reportedly planning a new offensive. the question being asked, can the russian military carried out successfully? i put that question to ed arnold , the european security research fellow at the royal united services institute. ed: no, i don't think so. what we saw yesterday is a significant defensive capability in the form of tanks, which have to be used with other military assets from the west like firing vehicles and artillery. and that will have real use come spring and summer when ukraine will go on significant offensive. in terms of the strikes we have seen over the last 24 hours, russia has been striking these civilian targets for months now. so i don't think that those two things are linked in terms of escalation, in terms of the tank commitment yesterday. and then on the third and final point, yes, russia is still taking some ground, but it is incremental. it is not much ground, it is of no strategic value, and they are paying a very heavy price for it. brent: a

lord . at the same time, the ravine, a small town located approximately halfway from bakhmut to kostiantynivka to the side of the road, more than once , not twice, and not even 10 times, was shelled by muscovites, in particular, with rockets, but the thing is that after the new year, the line of combat clash on, in particular, with southeast came much closer to the city and living here became well, it’s just deadly dangerous 22 arrivals of the agreement, well, i think tomorrow, in general, it’s impossible to play. these two women, our interlocutors, in fact, i decided to leave the city precisely after yesterday’s massive artillery strike by russia, a temporary ravine in the direction of the city, on monday evening, muscovites fired rockets systems of volley e-e fire and e-e crushed more than a dozen high-rise buildings in the city and the very house where our eyes and interlocutors live, one person died and two more local residents were injured, but the real miracle is that during yesterday's attack there was no mass murder. i don't think that was very strong yesterday. i've already lost count

we can hear the exits of our artillery, but if you drive a little closer to kostiantynivka to kordanivkau can already hear overflights of vorozheles because the enemy is afraid to go head-on, our guys are more experienced, our guys are more prepared, and only by overwhelming us, they don’t need an incredible amount of their shells, they are moving forward, burning the territory in front of them, uhu. thank you, mr. mykola , mykola dovbnya, deputy of the ruzhkiv city council, on the situation in donetsk region, the enemy continues to fire mainly from the rsv and kurakhove and druzhkivka kramatorsk sloviansk all these population points remain vulnerable to enemy strikes well, the situation on bakhmut in the soledar direction is obviously still difficult, i would also like to understand the dynamics, if we are talking about bakhmut itself, there are reports of certain complications from the southern direction, of course we are talking about the andriyivka mite, of course, the situation in avdiivka should not be overlooked. it is also tense, in particular from the south. well, of course, vug

eh, if we are talking about cities that a little far from the front line, this time, iv yar or kostiantynivkaother settlements, they are already going there, well, let's say more long-range weapons, mostly missiles now, lately it's mostly modified s-300s there may be some other missiles with which they are already hitting at a fairly long distance, er, there they are already trying to implement at some specific points, but again, er, it is very often completely chaotic fire, they shoot at ordinary civilian infrastructure, that is, how recently there was a shelling of kostyantynivka when they just got into the yard of a normal residential building , that is, to look again for some logic in their actions, well, it’s just stop , scoundrels who have the opportunity to shoot at the peaceful city, they will shoot, well, we have already seen this, for example, in mariupol volnovakha e- e severodonetsk in kharkiv mykolaiv well, now kherson, that is, they are just having a cake who are drinking it personally, they are getting drunk with the opportunity to beat people to beat ukrainians, well, fortunat

it is kostiantynivka for the garrison of bakhmut that was important in one supply.tles are going on in bakhmut itself. at the same time, the general staff writes in the lyman, ovid and zaporizhzhia directions that the russians, you 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 t

and civilian infrastructure in front-line areas. cities, in particular, kramatorsk, druzhkivka, kostiantynivkain purpose of these strikes, and you forecast the dynamics of the development of events. here on the eastern front, bakhmut and the outskirts of bakhmut, they ask these strikes will continue, that the enemy cannot achieve anything on the front line, and this is such a step, they hope that these cities are less covered by air defense forces, they use, including 300, which is very difficult to intercept, and in this way they are trying to create unfavorable conditions for the habitation of the civilian population, and it is possible to raise some tents there, according to their version, to raise some tents for the ukrainian authorities, at least in these territories, where according to their version of the population, well, if not completely, then partially to support her russian troops is absurd because what is really happening and who among them is shooting at them and why they are not shooting, but the tactics and cannibals are not changing. victoria well, in general, about the capita

are currently trying to capture, the other is on the road, well, on the tank from the side of kostiantynivkaere are large deposits of gypsum , besides, soledar with the famous salt mines is there by mines in a car from bakhmut, it’s about 20 minutes, it’s been many tens of years for us, that is , well, in fact, foreign investors would not come to mine, which was there for 3-4, well, have it here, ok, for decades, they came so that they could work for 20-30 years, let’s say of the same salt. i think he is counting on the fact that it can be quite good, he will sell it there in russia, maybe somewhere else, maybe in belarus, maybe in abkhazia, there or there. well, i don’t know where they will go, just eyes in north korea, he will supply it, it’s beautiful the head of the private military company wagner , and according to the information announced in the white house, he is trying so hard to take bakhmut not only to please the bunker grandfather, but also to benefit and for the sake of the citizens of prigolzhen, in fact, they seized several enterprises in the occupied territories, in particula

we drove from kostiantynivka for half a day during the move. suddenly increased petryk was given to volunteerstary at the checkpoint asked to rescue him because the cat was sick , they found a shelter in cherkasy region, oksana's parents bought a house to find a suitable place, they say it was not easy when people have heard how many animals we have, is it free or not? well, as a temporary apartment, no one wanted to accept us. when we came here, i immediately understood that it was ours , because the most important thing here was a large utility room in it, and they arranged a place for the animals to spend the night. they sit in these boxes, someone climbs on the stove, they sit there together, we will stuff them, and it is warm here at night, and they warm themselves in the yard. oksana's father built an aviary with his own hands, where the cats can walk freely. because, unfortunately, people here are ready to help, but they forget their own household chores, taking care of so many animals is not easy and not cheap. every month, the family spends from uah 10,000 on food, and even though the

well, to be honest, we feel it, because they even called yesterday from kostiantynivka, the police aree . we have a number of injured civilians in a day, this is a person who received a bullet wound, this is the old part of the city near the promka, that is, there was a shooting battle and something somewhere there it flew through the ricochets and wounded the man, well, he is alive, everything is fine everything is fine in the mirnograd hospital. i think we'll get it fixed in a couple of days. well, in general, it's difficult. everything is difficult. everything flies. they guess from everything they have. artillery , mortar fire. elements, i.e., everything is flying with the content. you tell me that everything that they have in stock, do you still have people staying further in the city, or do they still decide to leave? unfortunately, they remain. well, after the tragedy of the land, yes, we managed to bring out two children and that unfortunately, it is not so there is a possibility, there is a possibility, the evacuation is carried out if desired, but there is simply horror , the

is trying to break through from kurdyumivka to white mountain, which covers the approaches to kostiantynivkahe entire length of the bakhmut meat grinder, russian nazis they are increasing the number of manpower and throwing it in all possible directions in order to find weak points in the defense, meanwhile, their meat is getting less and less, it has already gotten to the point that the 640th and 6410th artillery divisions, which are the elite backbone of the occupying army, have been transferred to the rifle regiment aka1 which used to consist exclusively of those mobilized in donbas, in addition , the enemy's logistics is not able to cope with the supply of shells, and the aid to ukrainians has increased significantly, therefore, if at the beginning of the war, the enemy prevailed in our country, spending tens of times 60,000 shots per day, now a conditional parity of 5,000 art shots per day has been established on the front, the russians have switched on economy mode, which is caused not least by the destruction of ammunition depots, last day we exploded in kadiivka. storming maryinka, s

been living with a shortage of electricity for decades , when, as a result of the shelling of kostiantynivkad in donetsk region , the head of the donetsk regional military administration, pavlo kyrylenko, reports. the husband's son-in-law was 37 years old. he died in the morning when the enemy hit kostyantynivka. i was a simple party of new constructions . it takes 15 minutes until the next number to report that enemy shelling was carried out in the city of kostyantynivka, as a result of which four high-rise buildings were damaged. aspirations two men and a woman were killed as a result of the fight , the prosecutor general's office reports that you have been wounded in one of the legs, yes, you have been given medical assistance, i understand, let's go to the turnstile shrapnel the injury to the lower extremities damaged four high-rise motels and seven cars, several apartments were burned to the ground well, that's what's here. that's what they were . that's what it's closing as it were. and that's it. that's it. it threw up . that's it. that's there. that's it. in the holes. that's it. tha

crossroads between the occupied severodonetsk and sechansky horlivka and the rear ukrainian cities of kostiantynivkavyansk, absolutely every place is a bridgehead for further actions, that is, bakhmut is like that well , it is also the same place if they take it, of course there will be more chances from here to advance further and in a different direction, the russians are throwing almost all available reserves at the assault kirill sezonov and at the beginning of a full -scale invasion, the russians undertook to defend ukraine participated in the defense of the operation of the vysochan counteroffensive on kherson and the defense fortifications and i saw with my own eyes the mountains of corpses of the invaders near this city in the east. what is going on with the bloc? in addition, there is a mobilized presidential seat from luhansk , occupied territory, these are also mainly used for frontal attacks, there are wagnerians who are soldiers, professional contractors, and these are more working as there are criminals in the armed forces, the zeal of the occupiers in their attempts to capture the bah

these two routes , one leading to nasiver, the other to slavs, there is still a route leading to kostiantynivka for the grouping in bakhmut, but in any case, we understand that now russian propaganda will with soledar, i am in another bubble for the russian victory, and this can now be expected, and i am just getting old, of the russian mass media, so that actually this mobilization is such a different prize, the power of the fact that we, uh, captured an extremely important strategic place, uh the area there is conventionally speaking five square kilometers, let me remind you that the area of ​​bahmut is 6 km long, the line of defense there is 6 km, because the frontal part of soledar itself is within one kilometer, and the front line, which today is held by the ukrainian army, is where counterinsurgency takes place there, including action is within 500 km , the most active zone if we do not take the dnipro area, take the line of the seas and belarus, so that we actually understand that the situation at a specific point is a difficult situation, it may be connected with the withdrawal of our t

attacking bakhmut, trying bypass it from the north through soledar and trying to cut off the kostiantynivka-bakhmutoad in the south trying to pass through the flanks well, but today, today, on this very day, we notice the activation of the russian mood along the entire width of the section of this front, that is, the rod goes around, of course, the grenade launcher here, i don’t have data on the entire section of the front today we feel a very serious aggravation, in parallel with our broadcast, the walkie-talkie is working where we hear this intensity of the battle that is happening at these minutes, that is, there is a significant activation today combat operations on the bakhmut front, the russian occupiers have concentrated more of their units in the bakhmut direction and are systematically putting pressure on the defense of ukrainian troops, in particular, the soliders, serhiy cherevaty said this - he is the spokesman of the eastern group of troops, according to him, the soldier has long been one of the hottest spots on the bakhmut front, the russians there all this time, with the help of regu

south continue, bahmut, eh, they want to cut off the decoration that leads hm from bahmut to kostiantynivkaivka and in this way complicate the logistics of supplying ukrainian troops, and this is also under carts about working support food and also the transportation of parallel personnel along this route, that is, if they manage to get out there on the klichivka andriyivka and fire on this route, that is, there really was more complexity in the armed forces of ukraine. well, so far they do not succeed, if the full line the front line, the contact line, it remains in the same positions, the only thing is that there are separate strongholds , separate small areas. they often change hands from time to time. you know this line yesterday, in my opinion, a photo appeared on the internet , taken from a quadcopter, the battlefield near bakhmut is indicated. well, who doesn’t see badly? bahmuts they stayed on this field, well, not always, or until they are taken there by their soldiers, their comrades, so to speak, and there are so many of these bodies that it seems that it is someone, you know, so

time january 8 today and sunday greetings welcome the latest information from nekramatorsk and kostiantynivka there at night the occupiers launched seven rocket attacks on these cities of northern donetsk e-e cities in the north of donetsk oblast he reported this the head of donetsk, pavlo kirylenko, in kramatorsk, the buildings of an educational institution and an industrial facility, as well as a garage cooperative in konstantinov were damaged, all the blows fell on the industrial zone according to the previous according to the information, there were fortunately no casualties during the shelling, in addition to that a few hours earlier , kurakhovo came under enemy fire - this is a town southeast of donetsk and the village of kurakhivka, private houses and networks that provide the kurakhiv community with heat were damaged, the enemy does not stop terrorizing primarily the civilian population by striking on important infrastructure facilities, it is done daily and this is what the head of the region is writing to address the crimes of russians on our ukrainian land, we record the answer in

is more accentuated, that is, there is a great desire of the enemy to cut the road leading to kostiantynivkarder to somehow cut off the possibility of the armed forces there to deliver ammunition to the rotation, it is understood that way, victor , we would not like it accordingly ask you what the situation is with the offensive capabilities of the enemy , in particular, how actively they use armored vehicles and what kind of armored vehicles they use. they don’t use it, they use it in small mobile groups of 10 to 30 people, they try to storm it as much as possible at night, they cut it off with thermal imaging, or when they are in the body at night with this night vision device and the rest behind him, a hand on his shoulder. so they pass and try as much as possible to gain a foothold a-a or za-za well, dig some trenches for themselves or penetrate into some building and in this way, little by little, then it pulls up, pulls up, accumulates, and then they storm like this, it is known that the pvk wagners will be hired. and now actively cling to trackers in order to they did not deceive thei

enemy is trying to make its way from kurdyumivka to belaya gora, which covers the approaches to kostiantynivkahe entire length of the bakhmut meat grinder, the russian nazis are increasing the number of manpower and throwing it in all possible directions in order to find weak points in the defense, meanwhile their meat is getting less and less to the point that the 640th and 6410th artillery divisions, which are the elite backbone of the occupying army, were transferred to the aka1 rifle regiment, which previously consisted exclusively of those mobilized in the donbas; besides , such an enemy cannot cope with the supply of projectiles, and aid to the ukrainians has increased significantly, so if at the beginning of the war the enemy outnumbered us ten times, spending 60,000 rounds per day, now a conditional parity of 5,000 art rounds per day has been established at the front, the russians have turned on the economy mode, which is caused not least destruction of ammunition warehouses last day we exploded in kadyivka southern front in the south of donetsk region putin loves to carry out daily at

killed, eight more were injured , and the number of victims increased due to enemy shelling of kostiantynivka for according to the city military administration, 14 people were injured, three died, these are two local residents and a 70-year-old immigrant from bakhmut earlier, the donetsk regional military administration reported on two injured russians . s-300 rockets hit a residential quarter in the city center. six high-rise buildings were damaged. the hotel, garages and cars sat for breakfast. carried out well, i dig everything and this is one projectile was the arrival of drone strike companies will replace the quality of inflicting fire damage on the enemy, because the most important targets are best seen from the air , the commander of the combined forces of the armed forces is convinced on the eve of ukraine, serhii naiv, commander-in-chief valery zaluzhnyi announced the formation of the world's first unmanned shock company, the device can perform tasks without exposing the crew to immediate danger. offensive actions and will also significantly reduce the combat potential of the enemy

attacking bakhmut, trying to bypass it from the north through soledar and trying to cut off the kostiantynivka-bakhmutoad from the south, trying to flank across the entire width of the section of this front, i.e. a rod in a circle. the walkie-talkie is working on the air, where we can hear the intensity of the battle that is taking place in these minutes, that is, there is a significant intensification of hostilities on the bakhmut front today, the russian occupiers have concentrated more of their units in the bakhmut direction and are systematically putting pressure on the defense of the ukrainian troops, in particular, the solidarity, serhiy cherevaty said about this - this the spokesman of the eastern group of troops, according to him, the soldier has long been one of the hottest points of the bakhmut front, there the russians all this time with the help of regular troops and the wagner group are trying to find the weak point of the armed forces of ukraine in all populated areas of the region and break through our defenses, mr. yuryu, considering the contingent that is trying to take bakhmut by sto

as a rule, this is an agglomeration there sloviansk, kramatorsk, druzhkivka, kostiantynivka, but it happens dnipro, but at these three stages, we work there where they already start. well, the more or less normal hospitals there are already handed over to our colleagues. you take the fighter into your hands first. i like it when they give you an idea of ​​what kind of injuries they are, unfortunately, most of the time, mine is an explosive mine, that is, if the kyiv company had a lot of discolored wounds, now 90% are terrible mine side wounds. you shoot, a projectile or a mine or a bomb or a rocket comes flying, it explodes, metal flies in all directions, and unfortunately, it is often also traumatic amputations in medical language, that is, when an arm and a leg are torn off , often the torso, well, that is, the correct ones are very different and unfortunately, unfortunately, they are mostly severe, that is, if you had a concussion, then consider yourself lucky, it is difficult to become one of the three hundredths , that is, wounded, what percentage can be saved now, there are some appro

also understand that actually all this the line that is marked on the map there is closed by kostiantynivkatually be the next line of our defense, but we are talking about the scenarios as the most pessimistic if we are talking about the fact that we will continue to hold the enemy by using all the reserves, we understand that the general staff must find a certain balance because the correct use of reserves is actually one of the components of any prerequisites for the conduct of hostilities and success on the battlefield. by the way, this is an eloquent testimony this is in my opinion. perhaps you do not correct or discuss the fact that the enemy does not have enough strength and means to carry out full-scale hot actions on all areas of the front. the fact that we are now talking about the main thing about bakhmut and soldiers shows that it is time when the south of ukraine, let's say there, kharkiv region, luhansk region, well, luhansk region, evil is more about it, less is being talked about because there is a certain calm there now, but now the southern region will appear on the map, we

movement from ticks and the enemy will be concentrated precisely at the times of the ravine and on kostiantynivkathat is, in the approach to another way of providing bakhmut from the west and this, in principle, creates risks. so we understand that the general staff must now find means to minimize the enemy's advance, because indeed in this case we have a theoretical conclusion that bakhmut may be an llc in a certain environment, then we will have to sort of to retreat , but because of this, the conclusion is made that you do not have means of provision. but i will say that in addition to the means of provision, which will be marked on the map in yellow, there are other ways of supplying ammunition and support to bahmut i think that this may also indicate that the bahmut itself will continue to hold and , relatively speaking, the potential of the bahmut defenders remains high precisely with sufficient reserves and sufficient artillery support in this area of ​​the front, by the way, jesus spoke with his acquaintances, they say that in principle even with the artillery, we can talk about a certain

it affect, for example , the capture of a tick on the road that goes from bahmut to there, uh, kostiantynivka go in that direction, because, well, this is the key in principle the road to provide bakhmut now, well, the roads, they used to be under fire control of the enemy, just like theirs there, certain places of movement are under our fire control, so you know these roads completely. well, let's talk about the road. it’s just that if it’s some kind of road, well, rural roads, as they used to say, without asphalt, it’s hard to move on them when there’s a thaw, now the weather is cool, by and large, you can work and, well, you can also move there well, usually this is done in small groups. well, they do it in the same way. the russians do it in small groups. the transport moves at a low speed. so far. so far, they have not been able and will not be able to advance to konstantinovka, this place. yes , we are. i think that losing it would be very unpleasant for our armed forces. then we would have to think about some new logistics, how is it, how to do it, so far, this once again has a signifi

the slavic bakhmut, he didn't succeed , the enemy tried and is still trying to cut the bakhmut kostiantynivka highway from the south - that's what he didn't succeed, but the enemy in order to stop the attacking enemy, in addition to the manpower, it also brought up artillery, and therefore now the main war that is being waged in the ovras is not against the ukrainian army, but against the peaceful city of bakhmut and against that part of the inhabitants of which, for certain reasons, children and disabled people for certain reasons, they could not leave this peaceful city, that is, in fact, the enemy does not liberate the people of donbas, as he says from these propaganda statements, but destroys everything living in donbas, the nature , the architecture of the city and, above all, people who should not suffer, who are not subject to military conventions and which the enemy allegedly came to defend. well, russia is not your country . and before that, just to mention the chechen one, on january 7 , they got stronger, and what is this connected with? they are tightening some terms there. well,

glory to ukraine ivan i salute you as a hero glory good evening well, the russians shelled the kostiantynivkaed and wounded on the 14th respectively i would like to ask you about the current situation in the east of our country there have been no significant changes and we understand that now uh the views of many citizens of ukraine are attached every day to the summary from the frontline to the current information, and we usually use verified sources of information, such as the summary of the general staff, we see that the enemy is attacking in three directions on the avdiyiv bakhmutsky and novopavlovsky, at the same time, he is currently on the defensive throughout and on all other sections of the front, the ukrainians are either in active defense, respectively, promoting e sections of the front on e-e different e-e in the area in various settlements or e-e also carry out defense against enemy forces, the nature of the action has also not changed during this week, we understand that within another week it will already be a classic e-e russian army, the armed forces of today's leadership tod

located in the south and where the enemy from the tick is trying to move in the direction of kostiantynivkaust on that route, another one is an important artery for the supply of bahmut just from the south , these two directions are now under fire control of the enemy, but there are no related issues with the retreat of our contingent from bakhmut, actually. it is not on the agenda, because our military is defending itself and actually understands that there are all possibilities to continue the defense on this part of the front, actually bakhmut is a tactical city from the point of view that even if we assume such a possibility there, the enemy will somehow create a threat to the operational environment and we will have to approach other lines of defense there , this actually does not significantly change the situation on the front line. because in any - in any case, this does not create prerequisites for the enemy to advance to the greatest depth and does not create any qualitative changes at the level of the front so that we can talk about some kind of operational efficiency , rather str
