well, in fact, the ughledar direction is a little dead, that there are certain actions going on there, but the russians are using the area, which... is in front of the ughledar on today in order to form reserves, in fact, well, if you can say so, we are saved, and our armed forces, holding marinka until now, it does not allow the russians to advance to voglodar, ready to start the uglodar offensive, because the russians are very want to move us away from the coal plant, this is primarily a matter of logistics, the plant itself is a large enough logistics node from the point of view of the railways they are looking at. well , the main thing is that our presence in ugladal ensures what the russians cannot to fully use the railway branch between mariupol and volnovakha and actually cut it into the russian railway, and therefore buglodar is really the key for them, but again, i repeat, while we hold mariyinka, they cannot start buglodar, here the issue is both logistical and military , and the question of the availability of reserves, so they charge a continuation. collect certain reserve

only to avdiyivka or kup'yansk, they can also beat maryanka, klyshchivka, andriivka, and definitely ughledar. tell me, please , mr. oleksandr, in principle, if we talk about the strategic importance of all these efforts to capture avdiivka or melinka there, is it really a strategy or is it just a necessity to have some symbolic victories over the ukrainians. front, right there before these very presidential elections, let's say, well, if we're talking specifically about avdiyivka, this is really a political symbolism, it does not have any global tactical significance for the russians today, exactly in the position they were in until october 10 of this year, it is a fairly powerful fortified area, it is a logistical hub, but he is not critical for the russians, some kind of critical threat for there... donetsk, in general for the entire bridgehead, no, this, they were not bothered by the presence of the avdivka at all, except for one moment , there are commanding heights, but this is already such a moment, he does not deserve such expenditure of resources, on the other hand on the other hand,

a large-scale offensive along the entire donetsk front and the battle for ughledar: the ughledar bridgeheadubling to the russians, because the operation of the mariupol , volnovakha, donetsk railways is threatened. on the 23rd , the rashists went on a second powerful assault on the city and were able to approach it at a distance of 2 km, however, in three weeks, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed half of their armored vehicles, more than 200 units. since then, the russians have made no serious attempt to attack vgledar again until they launched a broad front offensive across donetsk in december. as a result of this offensive, they managed to complete the occupation of maryinka, as well as come close to the enclaves of sil pobeda and novomykhaivka, where it took place. the deepest breakthrough front since the battle of bakhmut, about 5 km. if these trends continue, the next enemy will be the ugladar again. battle for avdiivka. in just two months, the russians lost 1,300 soldiers and more than 210 units of armored vehicles. at the same time, the enemies are making their way hundreds of met

from various directions, and... the exit to ughledar is important for the enemy because he actually, wants to secure the transport route that goes from volnovy and further there on to the west all the way to melitopol, that is, in fact, all these actions make sense for the enemy from the point of view of military logic, but the question of the strength of the means that the enemy is now trying to use for these purposes... and the same situation in maryanka and around mar yanks are such that the enemy is really trying to expand the zone of influence there, and our forces, units, well, using artillery , are trying to restrain this advance. well, the enemy tried in a professional way, but he managed to advance a little there and win back what, well, how not to win back, because it is not his, but to take back what we managed to take away, to win back to us during the counteroffensive. indeed, the operational situation is such that we are wedged into the enemy's defense line, there is this bridgehead of ours, so to speak, 10 by 10 km, and general tornavskyi, who is responsible for this d

a large-scale offensive along the entire front of donetsk region and the battle for ughledar. ugledar bridgehead is very troubling to the russians because it threatens the operation of the mariupol railway. volnovakha, donetsk. at the beginning of the 23rd, the rashists launched a second powerful assault on the city and were able to approach it at a distance of 2 km. however , on the way from su, they broke half of them in three weeks. this armored vehicle has more than 200 units. since then, the russians have made no serious attempt to attack gledar again, until in december they launched a broad-front offensive across donetsk region. as a result of this offensive, they managed to complete the occupation of maryinka, as well as approach the shelter near the villages of sil pobida and novomykhaivka, where the deepest breakthrough took place front since the battle of bakhmut, about 5 km. if these trends continue, the enemy will once again be the next in line. battle. for avdiivka. in just two months, the russians lost 1,300 soldiers and more than 210 units of armored vehicles. a

are also many enemy attacks in those quarters that have not yet been captured by the enemy. in the ughledar, there are slightly fewer attacks, but the enemy group is accumulating there. on the positive side, it can be said that in the south , our military continues to counterattack the enemy, well, in almost all areas where the ukrainian army developed an offensive in the summer and... it is hot there too, this is both the staromajorskoe and the takmak direction in the area of ​​robotnogo, our counterattacks were counterattacked military, well , our marines are holding on in the kherson region plastdarmi, that is, well, it is actually burning everywhere, the battles are tough, someone has promised a winter there.

ukrainian army predicted that the enemy would try to align this defense line of avdiyivka, maryanka, ughledart in this way, well, first of all, to ensure the transport routes, which are concentrated there and go through volnovakha, volnovaha is not working yet. there is a very small distance to our positions, it is under fire if the enemy does something there, but this is precisely connected, well , in parallel with the enemy's attempt to create, well , improvement of logistical routes, which then should ensure the activity of the group of russian troops, which is still in our occupied territories, that is , it is clear that their attempt to move from north to south from... from maryanka, captured due to victory, and from the vanguard to try to cut off the entire territory again, here at least at least there is some logic, but there is another story, but it is quite sharp, it is about the fact that there is little information, but our marines on the left bank of the dnieper, in the krynok region, actually hold a bridgehead, and this bridgehead reacts to everything the leadership of the russia

another promising direction for the invaders could be ughledar, where they have tried to break through front several times before, but at the moment it is relatively calm here. meanwhile, the ukrainian armed forces destroyed another oil depot in the temporarily occupied makiivka. revenge attempt on in the berdyansk and tokmak directions in the robotyno area, as well as in staromajorska, the russians began a campaign to recapture the territories that the armed forces of ukraine deoccupied during the summer campaign. and counterattacks. both wedges, which our soldiers managed to break through in the defense of the invaders, are now a great hindrance to them, because they will be a springboard for resuming the counteroffensive in the future. in the direction of berdyansk, the rashists are trying to attack to the east and west of the shelter, as well as to outflank our defenders in staromaisk and urozhany. however, their achievements are extremely insignificant, on the other hand, the enemy managed to push back the zsu from novoprokopivka by almost a kilometer near robotovo, in the tokmat

there are also a lot of enemy attacks, in the direction of ughledar, there are a little fewer attacks there, but the enemy group is accumulating there, on the positive side, we can say that in the south , our military continues to counter-attack the enemy, well, in almost all areas where the ukrainian army... in the summer, the offensive was also hot there, both the staromajorsk and the takmak direction in the robotengo area, counterattacks were counterattacked by our military, and our marines are holding on to the kherson bridgehead, that is, in fact, it is burning everywhere, the battles are heavy, someone has promised a winter there. silence well, this is fiction, a hot winter, well, in relation to winter realities, let’s say this, in recent days we have also stated that the russians have again started using missiles to attack ukrainian cities, if before that it was mostly drones there for a certain period, well, now again returned to that previous practice, as you generally see, is there an opportunity to calculate, to understand their logic for this winter. does it exist at all,

center a few days ago, there were special forces among them, some of them were supposed to go to ughledard some of them to the avdiiv direction. successful persia: guerrillas blew up a freight train in melitopol, on which the occupiers daily transported ammunition and fuel from the temporarily occupied crimea, and on the way back they took away ukrainian crops, grain and damaged equipment. as a result of the explosion , the railway and a locomotive with wagons were also damaged, the center of national resistance reported. two women were injured as a result of shelling in kherson. the russians struck the dnipro district with artillery cities oleksandr prokudin, the head of the regional military administration, wrote about it. at the time of the attack, the victims were in their own homes, they were covered, doctors are providing assistance, their condition is assessed as average. dislike and violation of the law. in kyiv, a security guard did not let children into a bomb shelter, the national police informs. on december 14, when russia launched daggers, a boy and a girl, 11 and 12 years ol

number of shelling has increased accordingly, and this is connected with the enemy's offensive in the ughledaruse the enemy is behind, let's say yes, he’s covering for himself, huh, but in addition to the vogledarsky , there are enough... powerful attempts to recapture in the novoprokopivka area of ​​operations, here’s something for you, from our military we know what the situation looks like, well , the fighting there has actually been going on for more than a week, the enemy is trying to eliminate the bridgehead that was created during the summer counteroffensive company, to go to the previous lines, because... this bridgehead prevents the enemy from conducting active combat operations and active shelling of the rear of the armed forces, it is no secret, and the locals know that as soon as this rabotinsky, let's say, salient was created, where the armed forces took a certain territory, the shelling of zaporizhzhia from s-300 installations decreased, or almost ended, because they stopped working on positions convenient for them precisely for the siege of the city, well, accordingly, it create

an offensive bridgehead for of the offensive near vasylivka, there is tokmak, there is berdyan, ughledar, let's not forget, and this is another fifth created, which , in principle, like the sword of damocles hangs over the rus, and it, it is heavy, that is indisputable, but it has a huge strategic value. you understand, from the shore of the black sea to kakhovka, there is a line of more than 100 km, and it is quite difficult to hold it, and when you still have such offensives, the bridgehead on the other shore, which is actively being carried out, including sabotage work by our military, is being actively destroyed their equipment, their resources, and the fact that, i will say it again, they drove there, as they think, the greatest luminary of military science, teplitov, that says a lot about what they have, their attempts to squeeze out this bridgehead, what ended with a massive defeat, destroyed weapons and another blow to the so-called russian airborne troops. mykhailo, you say that making forecasts is a thankless task, because the war is happening here and now and it is not known h

the assault in order to increase the pressure on the entire section of the front from kupyansk to ughledar, and at least achieve a result before the new year that would satisfy vladimir putin. the front in the luhansk region, in the north of the region near kupyansk, a creeping offensive is taking place from liman pershy to senkivka, in some places our soldiers have to retreat. at the same time it does not significantly affect the front line, in the area of ​​yagidnogo such words , counter-counter-offensive battles continue. neither side can gain a definite advantage, the enemy's attempt to advance near novoselivskii failed. in the southwest of the region , the invaders are again trying to break through our defenses in the direction of lyman. in the area of ​​the village of terne, on a stretch of 3 km from north to south, the rashists took advantage of the rotation of the ukrainian military and occupied part of our positions, going deeper one and a half km behind the front line. later, the zso managed to repulse it part of the positions in the north. edge of this offensive, as a result, th

as before, the rashists intend to completely eliminate the ughledar bridgehead of the armed forces of ukraine, and therefore not in... in the long run, we can expect new massive attacks on this city, which has already become a symbol of a burned russian tank. the offensive on kupyansk. the russians do not stop trying to break through to kupyansk. for they moved this to the lyman ii region. two engineering divisions are likely to cross the oskil. near lehman the first , they regularly form columns to storm the village of senkivka, but most of the russian equipment is destroyed by ukrainian drones and artillery. however, this week the invaders. were able to break through the forest for 300 m towards the northern outskirts of the village. constant counterattacks continue near pervomaiska yagidny, but without territorial changes. it was possible to stabilize the front in the kremin direction. the russians did not take a single meter in a week our land the left bank of the kherson region does not give rest to putin. the events surrounding the village of krynky became so precocious for puti

direction, and it is the counterattack directions that have swelled up, that is, maybe even near ughledar, they will try to do something, these are the main directions of the eastern front, where, where they will try to launch hostilities, in the south, yes, they are trying to dissuade our troops, well , you have to understand there, there is a small the number of up to thousands of... military personnel, these are advanced units, these are marines, who are not making a bridgehead there yet, this is an attempt to create a bridgehead, we are also probing the actions of the enemy, they have attached the 104th airborne division there and there the same tough battles are going on, thank you oleksiy hetman, it is very important to talk to society as adults, to tell them this truth, especially now in wartime. oleksiy hetman, military spectator, participant in the russian-ukrainian war. the reserve major was in touch with us. more than 900 human rights violations were recorded in crimea. since 2017 , human rights activists have established that more than 6,000 of them are against representatives

meat. in it, journalists talk about the russian elite 155 brigade, which attacked the ukrainian ughledar and how the city it turned into a death trap for hundreds of occupants. our international columnist svitlana chernetska. also rewatched this tape, what emotions it evoked in her and what was the intention of the authors, more on that later. this documentary was made by investigators of the world's largest broadcaster. the bbc world service reaches around 300 million people a week in different parts of the world. the topic of the russian invasion has already been raised here several times, in particular in documents about the russian prisons of katyvna and the horrors of life under occupation. this once focused on the participation in the war of one of the strongest divisions of the russian fleet, this is the 155th brigade of marines, the so-called black berets. it is called an elite brigade, that is, it is trained and well-trained soldiers. the film mentions that the ukrainian authorities accuse 155 soldiers of war crimes in buta, irpin and gostomel. at first , professional soldiers w

then, in the battles for ughledar , the enemy lost the entire elite brigade of 5,000 marines and 130 bmps and tanks. it was... the most adrenaline-pumping fight of the year, remember that cam video of a 21-year-old fighter against a pseudo-predator? machine, machine, machine! contact battle with the occupiers, the distance to the enemy is only 5 m. the partner is charging, the pj himself epically fought off the group of occupiers, and also destroyed the weapons of the bmp. then this fight changed the consciousness of many ukrainians. then there were more and more trench battles. in the spring, the enemy... started frantic meat assaults near bakhmut, wagner, these were the most unfrozen, in one day , 10-15 assault attempts were made on your position, codes, when you just sit like that... there are already corpses around you at the top , when your positions are simply littered with corpses, when you see how new ones climb over these piles of corpses all day long, it is real that zombies, these wagners, our guys mowed down the enemy by the thousands, the wagnerite cemeteries in russia g

you about the events: on the front line, well , in this case, we would be most interested in the ughledar direction and the kurakhovo direction, so what is there, in particular it is also about, now, now, now, oleksandrivka and marienko, well, i think, directly, what is happening on the front line, it will be better if the military will still comment, it is their business, from our point of view i will say , what let's talk about our hypotheses like that. the result of the analysis that we can see in our direction is that recently the russians have been collecting in these directions, forming rather large reserves on the one hand, pulling them from the zaporizhia region, or from the kherson region, that is, they are coming from the zaporizhia direction , partly come from directly from the territory of russia, in particular, they drive military equipment through the fields, this is quite unusual, but we associate it with the fact that they are simply driving the equipment that was there before not repairable the base of which, a sufficient number is located in the occupied novoazovsk distr

residents also came under enemy fire time points of vuyarsk, toretsk, lymansk and ughledar communities. in the region , six high-rise buildings, 16 private houses, a cultural institution and three farm buildings were destroyed. according to popular belief , one cannot give in to negativity today. our defense forces gave reasons to rejoice and destroyed another 1,250 invaders. and in general, since the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion, more than 364 thousand russians will never upset anyone again. another reason for joy is the number of destroyed enemy vehicles. last day for scrap metal 19 tanks, 25 battle tanks were converted. of them cars, 37 artists, 56 cars, three volley fire systems, also burned four units of special equipment and the same number of air defense systems of the mozkovites, which will never fly into the ukrainian sky again, 40 drones and one cruise missile, the general staff reminds, all data are approximate. russia is complaining about a new attack by drones, allegedly 33 ukrainian drones attacked lipetsk-rostovsk and volovohradka. regions of russia, russ

among them... special forces, some were to go to ughledar, another part to the avdiyiv direction. the city is looking for the so-called enemies, who were allegedly gunners, - the adviser to the mariupol mayor petro andryushchenko reports. also, according to andryushchenko, the russians are mass-distilling equipment and ammunition and trying to hide it away. tragedy in transcarpathia. according to information. office of the prosecutor general, a deputy of the karatsk village council detonated three grenades in the session hall. 26 people were injured, seven of them are in serious condition. medics are fighting for the bomber's life, he is in intensive care at the scene emergency services are working. law enforcement officers are investigating the incident as a terrorist act. the perpetrator faces up to 10 years in prison. the zakarpattia regional military administration announced that they had convened an urgent meeting. regional defense councils to adopt urgent operational decisions. an unacceptable case. the kyiv city military administration reacted to the fact that the guard did

assault in order to to increase the pressure... on the entire section of the front from kupyansk to ughledar at least achieve a result before the new year that will satisfy vladimir putin. the front in the lughan region, in the north of near kupyansk , there is a creeping offensive from liman first to senkivka, in some places our soldiers have to leave. at the same time, this essentially does not affect the front line in the area of ​​yagidnogo and kislivka, where counteroffensive battles continue. neither side can gain a definite advantage, the enemy's attempt to advance near novoselivskii failed. in the southwest of the region, the invaders are again trying to break through our defenses in the direction of liman. in the area of ​​terne village, 3 km long. from north to south, the rashists took advantage of the rotation of the ukrainian military and occupied part of our positions, having gone one and a half kilometers behind the front line. subsequently, the zso managed to recapture part of the positions on the northern edge of this offensive. as a result, the russians occupied almost 3.5 k

shopping center a few days ago, on wed some of them were special forces, some were supposed to go to ughledar, some to the avdiyiv direction, but they will go home to truny. rescuing a patient from the front line, the police evacuated a man who needed emergency medical care. a resident of zarichny in donetsk region had a stroke. his condition was serious, the village where he lives is located several kilometers from the front line. there are no doctors there. under fire, the bilyango unit took the 53-year-old man to a safer area and handed him over to doctors. thanks to the timely evacuation of his life saved well, now the topic will be very painfully voiced, i want you to listen, and then we will draw some conclusions: an unacceptable case in the kyiv city military administration reacted to the fact that the guard did not let two children of 12 and 13 years old, a boy and a girl, to the door. the sviatoshyn district prosecutor's office , because it happened in the sviatoshyn district of kyiv, opened criminal proceedings on december 14, when the russians launched daggers at a boy and a girl a

to press on our defenses in order to ensure, first of all, the prerequisites for or exit from the ughledarerent directions, and the exit to ugledar is important for the enemy because he actually, well, wants to secure the transport route that goes there from volnovy and further there to the west all the way to melitopol, that is, in fact, all these actions make sense for the enemy from the point of view of military logic, but the question is the strength of the means that the enemy is now trying to... use in these areas and the same situation in mar' yantsy, and around maryanka, it is such that the enemy is really trying to expand the zone of influence there, and our forces and units are also there, well , using artillery , they are trying to hold back this advance, well , the enemy of the probotomin tried to do that, and he managed to advance a little there and win back that what not to win back, because it is not his, but to take back what we managed to take away and win back to us in time. from the counteroffensive, indeed, the operational situation is such that our wedge into the enemy

of our artillery on their warehouses, which are located in the horlivka area, donetsk, well, the ughledarrection is further there, it is clear, they are trying to use it to strengthen the avdiivskyi proper, well, according to their calculations , the direction, if we take the direction of the same work, but very problematic for them, our troops began to advance there. regarding the left bank of the dnieper, there is very contradictory information, and here it is probably worth waiting for the general staff's comments and assessments. events at least what we know, our troops hold a bridgehead there, and there they very successfully managed to defeat the russian paratroopers who tried to enter the rear of our units with infantry landings, with the aim of cutting through our defense lines there, our bridgeheads, which formed fighters, and make them fight both on the flanks and even in style, at the moment all these units that came in ... destroyed, well , we understand, knowing the russians, they will try to activate or increase there, if they did not succeed, they will try there to replace
