looks like this, everything looks like maryinka now, almost everything is burned, by the end of thed year it was possible to evacuate the city... all the residents, no one lives in maryinka anymore, all these places, all these streets where i was yarik, these are all my very dear places, i see this destroyed cancer, i understand that i have been there 10 times, because we have a very, very large family, and when there is a wedding, people must go there, waltz mindelson, it's a loaf of bread and then loud festivities, and the festivities are like our ukrainian ones. the trip there was a whole adventure for him, i remember that my grandfather and i took seeds with us and went to the elevator, i was very young. myny was sitting on a motorcycle, the motorcycle was full of seeds, these seeds then had to be processed, to imagine that this elevator would become a strategic point of defense in the future, because it is an important point on this front line, well, not that it was impossible, as it was possible this is to imagine when i was 5-6 years old. marinka practically adjoins the outsk

and also in the kurakhiv direction, near maryinka. syrsky claims that russia deployed up to four brigades in these two directions and is trying to... develop an offensive west of avdiivka and maryinka, making its way to pokrovsky and kurakhovo. the day before, the russian ministry of defense also reported that the russian army had taken control of the settlement of novobakhmutivka. this is... southeast of ocheretyny, the ukrainian military does not have these data confirm, however, in the fall, the deepstate project refers this village to the russian control zone. well, i will remind you once again that, according to the analysts of the american institute for the study of war, russia will probably achieve significant tactical successes in the coming weeks, but, again, according to the analysts, it is unlikely that it will be able to break through the ukrainian defenses. mykhailo zhorokhov, a military expert, joins our broadcast. mykhailo, good evening. good evening. i will start by quoting volodymyr zelenskyi's statement once again, h

well, usually the novomykhalivka district and , in general, the entire district near maryinka, it wasated with further steps in the coal mine area, now there was a constant activation of the enemy there, constant assaults, and even in the formations you could see a large the number of repulsed attacks, the enemy has recently concentrated its forces in the krasnohorivka area. is trying to attack there, and just yesterday you could hear and see, many people were discussing, an attack on krasnohorivka from the south, a very interesting tank was used there, which was covered with sheets of metal, sheets of armor, completely sheathed, there was also rap, surprisingly he survived and was able to escape, but this assault was repulsed, a lot of equipment was burned there, and now here ... obviously the enemy is trying to close that flank from the north, because all this time they moved if in that area in the direction of georgiivka, towards kurakhovo, and now they switched to krasnohorivka, the activation there is very, very high, there is a large amount of artillery, personnel, and equipment

and se semenivka, northwest of avdiivka, as well as from the village of novomykhaivka, south of maryinka. at the same time, according to sirskyi, ukrainian troops advanced in veletenskyi in the kherson region and established control over the island of nestryga. i immediately noticed... that the russian ministry of defense did not report the capture of berdychiv and semenivka at the moment, as for mykhailivka, it was written about its capture as early as saturday, the day before the russian ministry announced the capture of another village near avdiivka, novobakhmutivka, that is, veletenskyi and ostriv nestryg in the kherson region is not mentioned in the reports of the department. commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrskyi says that while developing an offensive to the west of avdiivka and maryinka, russian forces are trying to seize. the cities of pokrovsk and kurakhove. despite tactical successes, they have no operational advantage there. the ukrainian defense is being strengthened there with units that have regained combat capability. according to sirskyi, the russian ar

the fortifications were built, it was not only the east, but the fact that we still held avdeivka, maryinkavodynoe, opytne, chasovyar, these are all fortifications that allowed us to effectively hold the front, and today, when the front line has changed, it has become much longer , and it is certain that now... the question of the construction of fortifications on the border with the russian federation, where the border is controlled now, it is the sumy region, it is part of the kharkiv region, it is the chernihiv region, and it cannot be nothing more important than this, and the second is the experience which we had, and we didn't build anything for 10 years, because in general, from the 19th to the 22nd years, we didn't build much for the army. and this is already the topic of another conversation, but in 22 i want to emphasize that the so-called surovikin line with dragon's teeth, with minefields, with concrete structures, was built in two months, and its effectiveness, our armed forces, the world had the opportunity to see during the counteroffensive of the 23rd year. and then, if you j

able to capture only the eastern one in march. part of the village , the situation is similar near maryinka, where the occupiers are trying with all their might to expand the zone of their control to the north, attacking krasnohorivka, to the west, through georgiivka and pivden, where they never managed to gain a foothold in the village of pabieda. despite the large number of troops on this part of the front and increased pressure at the end of the month, the success of the invaders is minimal, the defense forces successfully repulse the attacks. russia has become even more vulnerable, as soon as official kyiv. announced the production of drones that can fly more than 100 km, as the next day they visited tatarstan, where they hit drone production plants in yalabuz, as well as the taneko refinery in nizhnyokamsk, which is the 13th largest plant in russia and processes 8, 6 million tons of oil, or 3% of the total annual processing of the russian federation. to nizhnyokamsk only by direct route more than... 100 km, and drones, of course, do not fly like that, and therefore their capabilities a

nazar, allow me, i would like to ask you one more question about the novopavlovsk direction, this is maryinka is also very hot there now, and the deep state map says that the enemy is trying to press there, quite so much, what is happening in this direction now? in the direction of novopavlov, our defense forces continue to hold back the enemy, these are the settlements near georgiivka, novomykhaivka, vodyny, and pozhatny. in the donetsk region, there are currently 23 times more enemies in the morning and during the day compared to the previous day, they tried to break through the defense of our troops, but the enemy continues to storm the area krasnogorivka with the use of assault groups, but his efforts are not successful at the moment, this is primarily due to the superiority of our soldiers. in this area, the russians are pressing from the direction of the occupied territories of the donetsk region even before the full-scale invasion. however, our soldiers are doing their best to contain the invaders. yes, the spokesman of the operational-strategic grouping of khortytsia troops, lieutenan

the situation is similar near maryinka, where the occupiers do their best to expand their control zone to the north, attacking red. horivka to the west, through georgiivka and pivden, where they never managed to gain a foothold in the village of pabieda. despite the large number of troops on this part of the front and increased pressure at the end of the month, successes. occupiers are minimal, defense forces successfully repulse attacks. russia became even more vulnerable as soon as official kyiv announced the production of drones that can fly over 100 km. as the next day they visited in tatarstan, where the drone factory in yalabuz was hit, as well as the taneko refinery in nizhnekamsk, which is the 13th largest in russia and processes 8.60. a ton of oil or 3% of the total annual processing of the russian federation. it is more than 1,100 km to nizhnyokamsk in a straight line, and drones, of course, do not fly like that, and therefore their capabilities are greater. exactly how much will become known after the defeat of new targets, which may be refineries in bashkortostan or militar

end of the 22nd year, it was possible to evacuate everyone from the city residents no one lives in maryinkamore. all these places, all these streets where... yarik was, these are all my very dear places, i see this destroyed rax, i understand that i have been there 10 times, because we have a very, very big family. oleg grew up on the outskirts of marinka in the village of oleksandrivka, says that every trip there was an adventure for him. i remember that my grandfather and i took seeds with us and went to the elevator, i was very small, he sat on my motorcycle, the motorcycle was full of seeds, these seeds then had to be processed, to imagine that this is an elevator in a building'. will become a direct strategic point of defense, because it is an important point of that front line, well , not that it was impossible, as one could imagine it when i was 5-6 years old. marinka practically adjoins the outskirts of occupied donetsk, so since 2014 it has become one of the hotspots of the russian-ukrainian war. at the beginning of the anti-terrorist operation, all of ukraine was talking about thi

addition, the russians resumed their offensive. to the town of krasnohorivka, which is north of maryinkaew weeks ago , they had already made the first breakthrough on the southern outskirts of the city, but then the third assault brigade helped to drive them out of there. now we see a second attempt to enter the city from the south side, while constant pressure is exerted on the defenders of the city from the south east, where the front line has been built since the anti-terrorist operation. the armed forces are changing the strategy of the war for the sky. the best news for ukraine was a mass drone attack on russian airfields in yeisk, morozovsk and engels. currently, there is no reliable information about the losses of the occupiers, but according to preliminary data, we managed to destroy or significantly damage 14 bombers and six fighters. taking into account the fact that ukraine will not soon be given the necessary amount of air defense equipment, which was able to completely cover the sky, and the f-16 will solve this the problem is only partially, with the ssu. changed strategy,

there are simply no bridges, the enemy is them destroyed, the earth is littered with, let's say , maryinkadiivka, bakhmut, there are, unfortunately, a lot of north-donetsk there.

indicators were also the previous days, now the enemy's main efforts are precisely related to avdiivka maryinkao the west of avdiivka and maryanka, this is precisely the old political desire to reach the borders. donetsk region, and it is precisely here that the main efforts of the enemy will continue, but in parallel with this, as of yesterday, the activation of in the kupyansk-lyman direction, we also understand that there is a separate grouping of troops that has started activation again, these are just offensive attempts in the kupyansk zone, activation in the lyman zone, and in the south indeed combat operations in the robotyny zone, this there is another direction. of the enemy, and this is really the desire of the enemy to undermine our defense and force us to transfer reserves to different areas, and here the question will depend on the general staff's understanding of what is happening, the maximum use of intelligence information and the opportunities we have, and here we will mention that we began to use hymers more actively, that is, we stopped saving, saving these e. missiles and fi

with mariupol is now happening in temporary yar, a month ago it was avdiyivka, before that it was maryinka, before that it was bahmud, you see, mariupol is no longer not a story mariupol is not just the history of mariupol, it is a symbol of every city that was destroyed by the russian federation, of all those people, of all ukrainians, who died in these cities. i could describe here now everything that the eu has done as such, countries, members and institutions, how much money, how much weapons, ammunition, how many refugees we have accepted, and i will spare you. this, as i have to repeat, is my strong feeling, not only after this film, that we haven't done enough. the footage traveled around the world and forced russian diplomats to answer uncomfortable questions, in particular at the un. chernov and his colleague won the royal prize, a ribbon of numerous prestigious awards. however, receiving the oscar, the documentarian called himself, perhaps, the first director in the history of the award, who would prefer that this film, like the invasion itself and the thousands of deaths of ukra

at the deep state map, we can see that now, pokrovsk, this is the novopavlovsk direction, where maryinka, these are now the most active areas of the front, but we understand that the enemy analyzes the situation, conducts his intelligence and can cause some surprises. blows from some unexpected directions, perhaps you have certain assumptions of your own, what directions these might be and do you actually think that the enemy can still resort to such tricks and go where now, for example, we don't even expect it. yes, in fact, we still have the kupynsk-limansk direction somewhat behind us, and there the verdict has recently intensified its activities, because before that it was strengthening and filling with relevant resources. the same units and units stationed in this direction have renewed attacks, in these directions, the enemy has the initiative again and the ukrainian army is again forced to reflect, making repeated enemy attacks. by the way, it is important to remember that on the territory of bilhorodska region, the number of personnel over the past few months has increased from 1

rubizhne, kreminna, maryinka, krasnohorivka, bakhmut, toretsk, popasna - these are far from all the settlementsre andriy visited. the guy remembers that he saw different things during his 10 years of military service. but there was no such hell in donbas as after the full-scale invasion. it's hell, it's hell from it was a full-scale hell and especially in the very first days, er,... nobody understood anything, who where, where our, where, where, where russian troops are regular, where they went, it could be that they could get just on his own in uniform and he could also shoot in the same way, because no one knew and everyone took risks, the first week of full-scale artillery fire did not subside, during the day the enemy fired 60-70 packets of hail, and so without stopping . to the tank, the cities and villages of donbas were simply razed to the ground, but plyusyk and his comrades did not give up and fought the enemies with all their might. we drove to popasna and there were already such tough battles at popasna, well, bakhmut won't even prove this, because in the first days we were, well, wi
