That was unleashed by russia. Hello, this is freedom in the morning. My name is oleg. We are starting on the territory of the occupied kherson region. Russian forces have forbidden civilians to move between the bare pier and with a kinburg scythe, they say in the ukrainian general staff, instead, shelling of kherson itself and the city of the region continues, lets talk about the situation there, the bakhmut direction remains one of the hottest on the front, in particular , according to the data of the Ukrainian Military, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed the personnel of the russian formation there, which consisted of fans of the cska Football Club. What is happening on in the vicinity of bakhmut and in the very place we will now ask the military stormtroopers of the russian army in the direction of kupyan daily try to break through the defense of the Ukrainian Forces, how threatening the situation is, i will tell you later in the broadcast, if you have not yet subscribed to the Radio Liberty youtube channel, be sure to do so, then our communication with you will be constant, and you will also have access to verified and important information. Russian forces in the bakhmut direction are changing the principles of the introduction of combat, they reoriented themselves to the use of small infantry groups for counterattacks, now they operate without socalled meat assaults, as it was before , he told about it on the air of a news telethon the press officer of the third assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr borodin also added that the forces of the Russian Federation are trying to defend themselves with the help of a large number of drones and are betting on the use of aviation artillery and mines. The formation of espanyol that, as borodin says, the rarity of the work of the socalled fan spetsnaz consisted of fans of the russian Football Club csk i i would like to remind you that the deputy minister of defense of ukraine, hanna malyar, reported that the armed forces of ukraine in the bakhmut direction over the last week liberated a total of three square kilometers on the southern flank of this direction, 40 square kilometers have already been liberated, this minute Maksym Zhorin is joining our conversation this is the excommander of the azov regiment major of the armed forces of ukraine and Deputy Commander of the third assault brigade. I congratulate you. Thank you for taking the time to join us. Since yesterday, the attention of the snakes has been focused on the liberation of the harvest. The situation in the direction of bakhmut did it happen . Maybe because of the successes of the armed forces of ukraine there in bakhmut, for example, the Russian Forces tried to somehow intensify the shelling. And he, for the most part, they mostly consist of sufficiently prepared and motivated units, and this , in turn, definitely affects the speed of our progress on the result, yes. Because the more of these units here, the more it becomes more difficult to move forward this does not stop our movement, you must understand that they really have several stages in mind, the first is to stop us , and secondly, they plan to develop their offensive , so at the moment , they cannot even implement the first stage, but their intentions they have such and it is becoming more and more difficult to advance because the forces , fresh forces are prepared and they are being transferred here quite a lot. Also, their intentions are well evidenced by the counterattack attempts, which have been going on for the last week, and they tried on foot and in small groups we tried to move with the use of equipment and machine tools, and throughout this history we simply broke up and destroyed all these attacking groups, they ceased to exist at all. But nevertheless, this indicates the intentions of the enemy and that he is not going to leave there, flee, give up positions. He is in all seriousness planning to move forward, which accordingly affects the speed of our advance p maxim and these prepared units are the prepared reinforcements you are talking about from which directions maybe if you know the transfer by the russian side, and what kind of units are these units of the Airborne Forces there, maybe some other formations of the regular army of the Russian Federation, what is known about them , some of the units that are transferred here , which are now here, these are regular units that, uh, were withdrawn even earlier from other directions to be equipped carried out coordination and transferred here mainly paratroopers eh. Also there are eh mechanized units that were transferred here and also at the moment those units that directly now performed the task eh are already being transferred here and in the north and south of our country, in turn, they plan to bring new and fresh forces there, which they recently gathered there, because they still have enough reserve forces to form new units and translate transfer it here, first of all, to the fact that people should be in the real world and not deceive themselves that the enemy has something over there , so far, uh, they still have quite a lot of human technical reserve power, and they demonstrate this by simply transferring and saturate the front ee with these subdivisions for the most part, the paratroopers are now opposite us, and there are also units of the khmat and units of such a parody of the fan movement in russia, espanyol, too. They are here , but they mostly participate as drone operators. That is , they do not participate directly on the contact line, they do not like it very much, but they fly drones they are scouting and they also control strike drones, how much is this espanyol this group is big because we already reported today that some of the representatives of this group were destroyed as she said about it in the armed forces of ukraine, how many representatives of this formation know anything about it, so absolutely not many, how did they collect it like this, and they once had a parody of fan rock, which is also exactly how, in principle, everything in the Russian Federation was governed there fsb well, they created them completely, they accompanied them and gave them tasks, and now these same people. They tried to assemble a unit, but it was not enough for a fullfledged unit there, for a battalion, even for the shooter throws there, not to mention some more serious forces and thats why they were able to collect these types of companies, uavs yes, in which they are there, on which they fly, there are tvs, they have drones with resets, and they also have reconnaissance drones. That is, there are several companies , at least what at the moment in them. Here is what they were able to collect and bring here. Maxim, we have a morning message from the armed forces of ukraine that the Ukrainian Military destroyed russian k52 helicopters in the direction of bakhmut in the morning. From the loss of such a helicopter in particular to what extent it will be significant or insignificant for the Russian Forces, there it is a significant loss of such equipment is always significant because even the russians, despite the fact that they have a lot of equipment, they still have a limited number of such equipment and the loss of each unit is significant and another very important moment affects here, this is such an educational moment, lets say that after the downing of an airplane or a rotorcraft, as a rule, we have some time when they dont fly, when they are afraid or rearrange routes or rearrange there plans. Well, this is on a certain morning. Because took place in particular. Well, when the armed forces of ukraine reported that there was a beating, it somehow became calmer now and where is the reconstruction. Is it still too early to talk about it . Has enough time passed . We will be able to analyze it in a few days. When we will be able to see their new routes, new new regime flights and applications but before that, they brought quite a lot of problems here, the actively operating aviation is expensive. And we have it working all day long every day, the harvest aviation is constantly working, one of those unpleasant things which is here and they are, by the way, right on these slurries in the picture c2, these are antitank installations that are on these rotorcraft and which can work from a fairly long distance, at which it is difficult to harvest them , according to us. Well, thats why there are quite a lot of aviation problems bring harm to us, but im saying things like that, when you somehow manage to destroy them, as a rule, it gives us a little pause to breathe and that they are there until while they are regrouping and looking for new opportunities, maksym and some circumstances may be better known to you. Well because the message it is only about what was shot down. In fact, this helicopter may be something you know more about, how it happened 10 it was not our unit that was hit , so i do not have details at the moment. Please tell me about the assault actions of your brigade , in particular, they take place in conditions of a difficult landscape and generous mining this is a direct quote of literally 100 g of the channel by the forces of the Russian Federation in the territory of m. How dense are these mines and how much does it stop the possible faster advance of the Ukrainian Defense forces in this direction well, first of all , mining is, in principle, it is used in order to either slow down or stop the movement of the advancing forces, and they and we use it for this very purpose, to defeat the technique of defeating the personnel, e. E. , when the enemy is planning offensive or assault actions there. It is widely used by the enemy, they have enough of this good to mine everything around them both with antipersonnel mines and antitank mines, etc. This really makes adjustments to our plans sometimes because it does not it is always possible to detect, sometimes it is almost impossible, taking into account the modern tricks of demining the enemy, sometimes it is not possible due to the dynamics of battles, but hmm, in our direction , i would say that demining is a little easier than , for example, in zaporizhzhia, and this is due to the fact that we try to constantly maintain the dynamics of offensive take action and do not let the enemy erer densely mine everything around him although he wants it, he tries to do it, but we try not to allow it because we understand that it will turn out for us later problems and losses, thats why we try to keep the dynamics of constantly knocking out the enemy and not letting him concentrate, stop adapting, but about the scumbags from those interviews that are in the public space from what they write on telegram channels, we can read that very often in the direction of bakhmut, because it happens on at very short distances , how much more difficult is it to do than, for example, at a long distance, who in such cases has the advantage of defense power . Is the army of the Russian Federation, after all, that i can understand at least as they write, it is in particular about how the positions are cleared where, for example, there were the Russian Military, but since when they get them and so on, who has an advantage in such cases, i think that in principle, fighting at such a distance as is happening now is faster than the last time at all was during the second world war, and it is unlikely that there were such examples anywhere else, but even more. Apparently, they are already similar to the examples of the first world war, when there were only trench battles, because now during our assaults, as a rule, we clear uh prepared engineering and fortification structures , that is, trenches, trenches, positions in which the enemy is already located, and this is a separate extremely difficult task, because it is the enemys positions, he knows them better than we do, he is there in them, relatively speaking , as at home, he knows where at what angle, where the fire positions are located, where dugouts are located. For us, this is a more difficult task, and sometimes there are, well, in the literal sense, almost handtohand close to each other for several meters. There you see the enemy somewhere in the crosshairs in the best case yes, and you can destroy him, you dont hear him, you dont feel him, but here he is next to you and he can reach you with his hand because there is some kind of weapon in terms of psychology, these battles are extremely difficult, but what our stormtroopers of the third assault brigade are doing. Well, its generally extraordinary, its impossible , and its a huge and extremely difficult job that is taken on by the division commanders, the platoon commanders, who almost independently make operational decisions on maneuvering the use of capture weapons to date, they have already gained a lot of experience in these battles, and especially in bakhmut, where we were in urban battles , urban development, and in battles in forest belts, which are significantly different, because how are there in small settlements like villages there . We have a reaction to the news from the russian changes , in particular about the fact that by the 24th year i removed captured azov residents, it is about anton romanyuk and pavel artemenko, who were accused of brutal treatment of civilians, namely, shelling of residential buildings of the socalled dnr after the retreat of the 22nd year, are there any options at all as of now . It is possible in the legal sphere to save the captured azov citizens from the socalled justice well, first of all, i would not call this story justice here , it does not even smell of justice, moreover, it is, well, for me personally , it is so personal internal difficult history because i have known most of these people for many years. They are our fighting family for me , even though they have been there for a long time and there is no connection with them. But nevertheless, we are waiting for everyone and we are doing it to bring them back to justice, this does not smell like spitting in the face, well, in general , to the whole civilized world , it is a signal to them that this country is not going to play by any rules that exist today. This country is not going to, hmm, fulfill any conditions if we talk about exchange , then these decisions do not have any legal status in the normal world, and therefore, of course , these people are still submitted for exchange , moreover, there are even cases when already convicted people were exchanged and returned back for us differences what did they think of there or did they condemn them what they tell them there for us these remain our people who in any case we will bring home p maxim i thank you for this activation take care maxim zhorik commander of the azov regiment major of the armed forces ukraines Deputy Commander of the third assault brigade was in touch with us, we talked about the situation in the bakhmut direction and the socalled justice for the captured azov people, and the storm squads of the russian army, which are equipped with prisoners every day in Different Directions they are trying to break through the defense of the ukrainian troops in order to block and then capture kupyansk. This is reported by the commander of the Ground Forces of ukraine.
