, and about two months ago, has stalled head of military intelligence of our country, general kyrylo budanovthe beginning of march the russian offensive would be exhausted, well , it is obvious that the logic of the reasoning of our chief military intelligence officer is that the enemy army cannot constantly advance, there is a certain... period when it must take an operational pause for to accumulate resources, by the way, the president of our country volodymyr zelenskyi speaks indirectly about the very fact of the operational pause, who emphasizes that, most likely, at the end of may, at the beginning of summer, the enemy will again will resort to large-scale counterattacks, and therefore for several months, the spring months, the enemy will be forced to accumulate resources, i cannot say that the offensive potential of the russian army has been completely exhausted, because on the mentioned... your experts, the section of the front is actually being robbed of combat operations, in particular south of marinka, hellish battles are taking place, it is also very hot in the avdiiv direction, a

the first time he says this, and by the way, here he mirrors the position of ukraine, that is, kyrylo budanov already said many times that the goal of ukraine is to create, with the help of russian volunteer formations, the same sanitary border on the territory of russia, but putin is talking about... a sanitary border on the territory of ukraine, well, of course , he simply will not succeed, they have already tried to do something in these territories and were knocked out, so nothing will work here either, and the most interesting thing is that he said the day before yesterday that he perceives this operation as an attempt to cause an exchange of territory in the future. between russia and ukraine, that is, they say, the occupied territory of russia on the occupied territory of ukraine, and this is very interesting, because it is simply a recognition of the power of the russian volunteer formations that he believes that we can capture the territory, which can then be exchanged for the territories of zaporozhye and kherson regions. according to the results of the presidential elections in rus

these months. about two months ago, the head of the military intelligence of our country, general kyrylo budanovid that by the beginning of march the russian offensive would be crushed, well , it is obvious that the logic of the reasoning of our chief military intelligence is that the enemy army cannot constantly advance, a certain period is coming , when she needs to take an operational pause in order to accumulate resources, by the way, the very fact of an operational pause is also indirectly mentioned by the president of our country. volodymyr zelenskyi , who emphasizes that, most likely, at the end of may, at the beginning of summer, the enemy will again resort to large-scale counterattacks, and therefore for several months, the spring months, the enemy will be forced to accumulate resources, i cannot say that the full offensive potential of the russian the army is depleted, because in the areas of the front mentioned by your expert , combat operations are actually taking place, in particular, south of maryanka, hellish battles are taking place, in the avdiivsk direction as well... it is ver

an interview with the wall street journal, the head of the main directorate of intelligence, kyrylo budanovtated that the armed forces of ukraine will conduct competent defense, weakening russian forces and will be able to launch a new counteroffensive. already in 2025, oleksandr kovalenko, a military columnist of the information resistance group, will join our broadcast. welcome to our broadcast, thank you for joining. good morning. the commander of the ground forces, pavlyuk, promised counterattack actions of the armed forces of ukraine this year and said that the situation at the front would stabilize. these are reassuring messages, or really trends observed? if we get the help we need from our international partners. we will be able to form reserves and , accordingly, accumulate the resources necessary for counter-offensive actions, then we can certainly proceed to counter-offensive actions or systematic counter-attacks at one or another location, where there is an opportunity to restore our positions, so it is quite possible. speaking of the loss of the hymars system, and the fact that

at the time, the head of gur kyrylo budanov was in second place, with 66%, and in third place was zelenskyi, with 64%. volodymyr fesenko, a political scientist, joins our broadcast. volodymyr, good evening. good evening. were you surprised by volodymyr zelenskyi's decision to appoint a deputy? ambassador in london? well, he has not been appointed yet, while the candidacy has been approved, but when great britain gives its consent, most likely it will be, then he will be appointed, there will be a presidential decree. no, i am not surprised, because there were rumors about this, some leaks back in january, even before zaluzhny's resignation. this option, that zaluzhny was allegedly, at that moment, allegedly offered this position, he will accept. now this information has been confirmed, so i 'm not surprised, and i don't share the opinion there, it 's all in the media, there were conversations about it, well , you heard what to move there a competitor, he will remain a potential competitor wherever he is, and we will come to that now, you started to quote and mention what the media wrote abo

stated by president volodymyr zelenskyi and the head of the main directorate of intelligence , kyrylo budanovbruary of this year, the reuters agency wrote that the united states of america refused to discuss the proposal of russian president vladimir putin on a ceasefire in ukraine for the purpose of freezing war joining our broadcast is ivan tymochko, a serviceman, head of the council of reservists of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine. congratulations on our broadcast, thank you for joining. congratulations, glory to ukraine, i am glad for you. to see, credit to the heroes, let's consider the main theses of this material, it was published, it must be said in such a section, where different options are offered there and different expressions of the authors' opinions, at the same time, this publication is based on expert assessments, so here is the point about the high risk of breaking the line the defense of the armed forces of ukraine and the advance of the russian army deep into ukrainian territory and the attempt even by russian forces to reach the dnipro, how realistic are

well, for example, the head of the military intelligence of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, talks about psychological pressure, military experts say that with such statements, the russians not only put psychological pressure on the ukrainian government, but also force the military to hold, the ukrainian military to hold a certain group in the northern corridors, that is, everything to cover up the northern corridor, to cover kyiv along the perimeter and, well, not to use these reserves for, for example. battles in the east, well, this may actually be the purpose of these russian statements about kyiv. indeed, in fact, an escalation is currently underway in the east, where russia is attacking simultaneously on several fronts. although president zelenskyi said that ukraine was able to stop the russian offensive. independent analysts say that russia is only deploying it. so how to evaluate russia's statements about kyiv? it is quite possible that russia is trying to make the most of its favorable moment. on let me remind you that indeed, now the ukrainian army is experiencing a very strong shortage of a

the belgorod region, they are creating a sanitary zone there, this is good, because yesterday kyrylo budanov, the head of the gurs, said that they are building fortifications there, they are transferring combat-ready units, they are transferring air defense, this could all work here in kupyansk, it could work on lyman, could work on bakhmut, on chosovyar, anywhere. but all this works and is fighting now on the territory of the enemy, and this is very, very good, because the war will be anyway and they are throwing resources and we are, but if we are fighting on the territory of russia, then this it is much better for us, there is a lot of what they drop in sumyshchyna, and they drop in kharkiv oblast, and they fly to kupyansk, and they fly to kharkiv, and they fly to chuguiv all the time, this is, well, it does not depend on our actions, when we create... a sanitary zone or force them to stop shelling, then they will be gone, yes, as long as they can, they will hit ukraine, they, they have such, such a goal, such a desire, to destroy ukraine, if we will, we will not shoot back, we will show
