the robotyn wedge is such an area , roughly speaking, it is 10x10 km held by our military, last weekd this week the enemy carried out offensive actions on robotyn from the west from the south, from the west he advanced there probably 400 by 500 m, but literally yesterday there were counterattacks by our military in this area, and actually one of the strongholds. who was captured there by the enemy, was returned to our control, so relatively speaking, the second day, which is happening now, they are more related to the counterattacks of our units, and in fact we understand that, by the way, we have a sufficient amount of air artillery in this area, we we have seen many examples of effective enough use of means of impression, which precisely leads to significant losses of the enemy. and we understand that, after all, the enemy will continue to somehow try to create conditions for us to leave this area, he tried to do it through flanking strikes, but, probably, the military leadership of ukraine made certain conclusions and the flanking directions around robotyn are quite firmly fortifi

first, robotyne. it's a small village that was retaken by ukraine last summer.exed crimea in 2014. it's a vital location on the black sea. but while ukraine retook robotyne, it hasn't been able to advance, which highlights our first reason the war isn't moving. one of the things that has been underestimated are russian defences. so i think underestimating those defences has been one part of why there hasn't been a major breakthrough. the white lines on this map show russia's multiple defences south of robotyne. these include anti—tank defences known as dragon's teeth — and landmines, too. the depth of russia's defences is one of the reasons the war has slowed. another can be seen in the village of krynky. it's in territory controlled by russia on the eastern side of the dnipro river. and after months of trying, ukrainian forces managed to cross the water and take part of krynky. but again, they struggled to push on. not least because technology is dominating. both sides are using weaponised drones known as uavs. this ukrainian video shows a russian soldier being

ukraine made certain conclusions and the flanking directions around robotyn are quite firmly fortified he then resorted to frontal attacks on robotyn, but as we can see, there are no positive results for the enemy, there are positive results for our armed forces. krynk, krynk, cossack camps, what intensity there is, how difficult it is there there is a situation, we understand, well, the key story, in addition to fire support, is also logistical support, so we understand that the enemy works with artillery, works with aviation, works. drones , accordingly, we also work with uav artillery, well, with our aviation it is much more difficult, but the supply to our people, they really wrote absolutely accurately the situation that concerns the peculiarities of maintaining our bridgehead in krynk and in other directions related to this segment, now the enemy trying to complicate logistics first, he tries at night to read on those pe'. periods when we use our catamarans to transfer reinforcements to our marines, trying to sink these catamarans, and actually this is one of those, well, vulnera

first, robotyne. it's a small village that was retaken by ukraine last summer.o crimea. russia annexed crimea in 2014. it's a vital location on the black sea. but while ukraine retook robotyne, it hasn't been able to advance, which highlights our first reason the war isn't moving. one of the things that has been underestimated are russian defences. so i think underestimating those defences has been one part of why there hasn't been a major breakthrough. the white lines on this map show russia's multiple defences south of robotyne. these include anti—tank defences known as dragon's teeth and landmines, too. the depth of russia's defences is one of the reasons the war has slowed. another can be seen in the village of krynky. it's in territory controlled by russia on the eastern side of the dnipro river. and after months of trying, ukrainian forces managed to cross the water and take part of krynky. but again, they struggled to push on. not least because technology is dominating. both sides are using weaponised drones known as uavs. this ukrainian video shows a rus

the robotyn hell in zaporizhzhia - the village of yuves , the russians attack the robotyn ledge daily from the western flank, from the south and from the southeast. for this, they gathered a sufficiently powerful fist. that's almost four columns a day armored vehicles tried to break into the village from the right flank, but most of the equipment destroyed the defense forces. 18 out of 30 armored vehicles during one piece. although the rashists have already announced several times about the re-occupation of the village, the defense forces are firmly holding positions in the center of the village, although they have retreated from several positions on its outskirts. air combat changes emphasis. ukraine is preparing to receive the f-16 and at the same time is trying to deter the su-34, which are the carriers of the kabiv, from bombing our positions. in 10 days , ukrainian air defense shot down seven bombers court. 34.2 the latest su-35 fighters, which are one of the biggest threats to the f-16. another serious threat is the combination of the a50 long-range radar detection and control a

actions on this corrugation, for example, during the yar period or in the zaporizhzhya region in the robotyne verbove region, in order to return control over the territories that we liberated in the summer of 2023. but then there is a risk that everything may not go according to plan, and it is already starting to go according to plan. yesterday they tried to conduct reconnaissance by combat in the verbovov area, and this reconnaissance by combat ended in the complete destruction of the column, and this is what we call not planned. october 10 they should have had a successful first wave of the offensive on avdiyishka, and the first echelon should have gone to the main points, the points along the inter -steppe taberdichi tanotonenky, they... they didn’t even do it, and it already didn’t go according to plan, if putin gets it before the elections , and especially at the end of february , before the speech, before the federal meeting, well , to put it mildly, he will be a kind of slap, mr. oleksandr, finally, what will happen next, at least options for the development of events, very briefly, w

push their troops forward, like that they say, marinka novomykhaivka is not too cool news for us, in robotyn , history is supposedly stabilizing for us. all in all, taking into account the situation at the front, in your opinion, is the currently chosen tactic of mobile defense, which... was noted by ex-head zalozhny, effective, and most importantly, will syrsky adhere to this tactic? it will be accordingly, because let's talk about the fact that tsirskyi is a member of zaluzhnyi's team, he didn't get anywhere from anywhere, and when tsirskyi himself, let's say this, is currently being told that he is the creator of victories kharkiv region, in accordance with the successful nature of the defense of kyiv, i have a question, but where was the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine at that time, if not him. actually planned this nature of the operation , syrskyi is his subordinate, but less so, what will happen now, i.e. , the appointment of syrskyi will absolutely not affect the plans of the armed forces of ukraine regarding further actions on the front line, this is active defense

coming back, and here we are back with news, we have. we will show the footage now, zelensky visited robotynporizhia region, came to the 65th separate mechanized brigade, awarded our defenders, we can see everything happening underground in the dugouts, because this is the front line, this and a job for which the russian-fascist occupiers are constantly trying to fight back, so yeah, we see that the guys also have something for the president, a little later in the frame, maybe... so we already shared, received awards, gave a chevron, and of course that exchanged phrases that are traditional, probably for such places, that the whole state is grateful to our defenders, and actually we all believe in victory, glory to ukraine, this is the option, as they say, this is the right video from the point of view of at least the fact that none even from putin's doubles. never risked climbing to the front line of what war they call svo. so, let's talk now a little about what is being done where putin and his doubles don't go, about temporarily occupied territories, yes, because with us is the deputy min

in particular , the occupiers struck novodarivka and robotyn from aviation, and from drones malynivka and charivno. and in kyiv, the number of victims from the attack on february 7 has increased. an injured woman from a house in the holosiivsky district died in the hospital. and this is already the fifth victim. of this attack, doctors fought for the woman's life for a week, but she was in an extremely serious condition, - informed the mayor vitaliy klitschko. let me remind you that on february 7 in the capital of olamka, rockets damaged a high-rise building, a heat supply main and two high-voltage lines, 40 people were injured. in sumy, information about the alleged attack of the enemy was denied, the head of the city's military administration, oleksiy drozdenko , said that the enemy was spreading information about the alleged attack of occupation forces in the north of ukraine and the alleged occupation of sumy. he urged not to believe fakes and noted that there is a real threat there is no in germany, an unknown person attacked a 15-year-old ukrainian. the teenager received multipl

colonel, the south, the situation in the robotyn area, what is there in... my opinion.ituation. the enemy before the enemy suffers a lot of losses. our weapons work effectively there. turning it into a pile of manure every time russian assault troops. therefore, i think that the situation will continue. the ukrainian army is under control, but the more resources, in particular artillery, our soldiers will have, the more confident our soldiers will feel on this part of the front. thank you, mr. vladyslav, vladyslav seleznyuv, military expert-colonel of the armed forces of ukraine, spokesperson of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine from 2014 to 2017 was eteri espresso. we will now take a short break, after which we will join our ether officer, who is currently in the avdiiv direction. more about the situation in this region, let's say, we will discuss. with serhiy tsekhotskyi, literally minutes are counted, so wait. tired of heavy and bulky saws, then the strong saw from unpack tv is just for you. with it you can easily cut trees and bushes. it is so conveni

between robotyn and verbov, the occupiers also managed to penetrate a few hundred meters deep into ourr the past few days , the russian navy has attacked robotine from three sides and pushed the armed forces of ukraine to its outskirts and in some places even deeper. but later the defense forces carried out a counteroffensive and partially pushed back the invaders. active fighting is currently taking place near the village with variable success. dilak general staff reported that the russians lost more than 150 soldiers and 18 pieces of equipment in the attack on robotine, we are winning every day, death to the enemy. well, this is the situation, and in fact , the offensive potential of the russians has not been exhausted, so we have not only those points that were already so active, where the russians were already active, they are now exploited there as well. er, something tried to move more, er, well, actually, you saw how our analysts, well , see this picture, and mr. ivan, how do you see this picture, where you can expect some main efforts, secondary ones, what, how the situation ca

battles, but for example, the section of the front where they are trying... now to advance in the robotynarea , well, it’s difficult for me to count, and there are simply many of them, many groups, and they have a lot of manpower in them, they were actively replenished and created new motorized rifle regiments , they brought those mobilized to the zaporizhzhia region and formed several airborne assault troops here units precisely for... participation in these active hostilities that they are currently conducting, and if we are talking about proportions, is it known at least approximately how much it is in proportion to some kind of calculation, in terms of manpower, yes, somewhere, well it is very difficult to say, i can say that in terms of artillery work, somewhere between one and five, at least they have a five-fold advantage, in terms of manpower it is difficult, the only thing that is under... asserts that they have a lot of wounded, they tightened the screws there temporarily in the occupied territory, young people literally, it seems like the day before yesterday or the day before

in august, ukraine retook the city of robotyne, hoping it could cut off a key supply route to russian—controlledthe western and southern outskirts of the village. russia also appears to be advancing around the village of krynky, ukraine's bridgehead across the dnipro river. and this month, ukraine withdrew its troops from avdiivka — a key eastern town russia had beseiged for months. ukraine had hoped the town would be a gateway to reach the russian—controlled city of donetsk. now, as james waterhouse reports, ukraine has retreated yet further from the town it fought so hard to hold onto. ukraine's military today says it is pull the out of two villages close to the town of avdiivka which fail last week after months of bombardment and assault from russian forces and it's clear they are not stopping there. on the ukrainian side, we are getting told that they are trying to re—establish the front lines, trying to stabilise the situation they say but it is clear that russia is trying to push on and while these villages, like so many pieces have been mostly deserted, 100 people are full thought to live

enemy struck. 182 strikes on 17 settlements, in particular, the occupiers struck novodarivka and robotyn from aircraft, and malynyvka and charivno from drones. and in kyiv , the number of victims increased. in february , a wounded woman from a house in the holosiiv district died in the hospital, and this is already the fifth victim of this attack. doctors fought for the woman's life for a week, but she was in an extremely serious condition, the bridge said. chairman vitaliy klitschko. let me remind you that on february 7 in the capital, rocket debris damaged a high-rise building, a heating main and two high-voltage lines. 40 people were injured . troops are being regrouped in the kupyan and avdiiv directions to stop the enemy's offensive, - said the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrskyi. together with the minister of defense rustem omerov, they visited these areas of the front and inspected the provision of servicemen. syrsky emphasized that the command is taking all possible measures to minimize losses and save our lives soldiers instead of valentines , another 1,060

here it is not only humanitarian, because when 80 km away, namely the drain. kilometers separates robotyne and zaporizhzhia, when 80 km from the place where today the enemy is trying to break through or penetrate the ukrainian defense redoubts, it is difficult to talk only about the humanitarian woman, we will try to understand the mood of the local residents in zaporizhzhia and what they should say, how should respond to those threats that he is trying to create again to create an aggressor country that not only wants to return what was lost during the summer counteroffensive of 20... the third year, but also wants to advance further and really create a threat to the city of zaporizhia, contact us alisa sesoeva, journalist, deputy of the zaporizhia district council, mrs. alisa, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, mr. vasyl, i'm glad to see and hear , let's start, probably with such a question, which is connected with the military threat, i have an acquaintance in zaporizhzhia, she asks me, she says, pack things already or? it is not necessary yet, i say, well, in principle, i say, sti

in august, ukraine retook the city of robotyne, hoping it could cut off a key supply route to russian—controlledes appear to have advanced to the western and southern outskirts of the village. russia also appears to be advancing around the village of krynky, ukraine's bridgehead across the dnipro river. and this month, ukraine withdrew its troops from avdiivka, a key eastern town that russia had besieged for months. ukraine had hoped the town would be a gateway to reach the russian—controlled city of donetsk. earlier, my colleague, sumi somaskanda, spoke with former cia director david petraeus about the situation in ukraine, and how political developments here in washington could affect the war effort. i want to start with senator mitch mcconnell stepping down as senate minority leader. he has been one of the smallest proponents among republicans from more military aid to the ukraine. what impact will this have on support for the ukraine going forward? he have on support for the ukraine going forward?— going forward? he won't step down until— going forward? he won't step down until november- goi

in particular , the occupiers struck novodarivka and robotyn from aviation , and from drones malynivka charivno. there is one victim of enemy attacks and two injured in dnipropetrovsk oblast. the russians shelled nikopol, mirivska, marganetska and pokrovsk communities. fired almost four dozen artillery shells, and also used drones seven times - reported the head of the region, serhiy lysak. there is a hit on the territory of an industrial enterprise, damaged an educational institution, a two-story building, 13 private houses, cars, power lines, about a dozen farm buildings and one garage in nivachyna, two more were destroyed. polish farmers announced a complete blockade of ukrainian... transportation. on february 20, protesters plan to block all transport hubs with ukraine. among them - border crossings, entrances to railway stations and seaports - said the union of individual farmers solidarity. the blockade will take place as part of a 30-week strike that began on the 9th february the participants of the protests are allegedly opposing the uncontrolled flow of goods from ukraine to p

unsuccessfully tried 10 times to attack the positions of our troops in the area of ​​the village of robotyne with regard to specific events and results, to the extent that their offensive there was unsuccessful, this... i need today from to clarify, i will say about yesterday, well, as of the middle of, let's say, yesterday, there was no loss of positions there for such a time, and their significant grouping was defeated there with the loss of armored vehicles and personnel. armed forces of ukraine finally left avdiivka, which is in donetsk region, the withdrawal of troops from the city was just as successful. as far as the circumstances allowed and in accordance with one of the plans for one of the options for the development of events, this was stated by dmytro lykhova, whom we also heard earlier. the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, oleksandr syrsky , justified the withdrawal from avdiyivka by preserving the lives and health of servicemen and decided to withdraw units from the city. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, speaking at the munich security conference, call

every one of these light blue pockets that you see here, here in the south near zaporizhzhia, here robotyneorces making inkrument -- incremental gains. this entire line here, you are not seeing much significant activity. there's a lot of worry that the russian military defense industrial base, all of their weapons and equipment will eventually overwhelm the ukrainians if they don't get needed aid. >> our sky news partner -- this very marketable. ukrainian anti-tank unit using a screw driver and hammer to repair the only weapon, a soviet era bazooka. with the needs so dire, what is the urgency? how much time do they have to play with? >> here is the big change. the russians, they lost tremendous combat power, military assault trucks, everything, armored columns, all devastated in the first two years of the war. the russians have something that the ukrainians don't. they have their own military industrial base that can produce weapons and ammunition. they have picked all of that up. separately, the drone coming from iran being used by the russians, ballistic missiles from north korea being us

counteroffensive failed to make significant battlefield games with the exception of re-capturing this village, robotyne just over any prove river this is the farther that ukrainian forces were able to advance along this part of the front. russia now has its sights on capturing this vital village again, well on the northern part of the front kreminna russia is looking to retake areas that ukraine won back its first counteroffensive a hugely successful campaign back in september of 2022. just south of avdiivka russia's also focusing on this town vuhledar. this is a sight of a major battle last year. ukraine held off -- both sides in this battle suffering tremendous losses. however rushes control of the neighboring village of maria has made the fall of avdiivka it's not a given russia the edge in this particular battle. and busy -- is in ukraine with more. richard? >> it is a very bad sign that ukrainian troops had to take the decision, the painful decision to withdraw from the town of avdiivka. a dip tekah is out here in eastern ukraine and the ukrainians decided it simply was not worth holding onto the

also in the south, not far from where i am near zaporizhzhia, a key village called robotyne there that was really one of the major gains are the only gains of a southern counter offensive in the summer, which would be much funded by nato and the west. well, that seems to be under russian pressure to then vuhledar the south of avdiyivka, and also areas around bakhmut, another town, russia, through everything out to retake in may of last year. these are also under pressure as well. and so i think there's something here where ukraine is trying to zero point out to the west at this shortage of ammunition on the frontlines is acute and mean something other than the political games that vice president kamala harris referred to in munich, people are losing their lives because of it, i should point out here we are in kherson in the south, but lights are off across the city because people are worried about russian drones and strikes on any light source that they see. so if a daily ukrainian, this is the case of a loss of life and loss of a relative and lots of a friend fighting on the front lin

first, robotyne. it's a small village that was retaken by ukraine last summer.ces is one of the reasons the war has slowed. another can be seen in the village of krynky. it's in territory controlled by russia on the eastern side of the dnipro river. and after months of trying, ukrainian forces managed to cross the water and take part of krynky but again, they struggled to push on — not least because technology is dominating. both sides are using weaponised drones known as uavs. this ukrainian video shows a russian soldier being monitored by a drone and then attacked. russia uses drones extensively, too, just as both sides use artillery extensively, and all of this technology is shaping the war. the impact on restricting movement, pinning troops in place, of the large volumes of artillery fire — particularly now from the russian side with ukraine getting increasingly short of that ammunition, but also lots and lots of sort of first—person uavs — is making it very hard to generate offence momentum without huge casualties. the strength of the weaponry, the strength
