You have to go a long way in liberating landings , you know, they often say that it is a war for landings, and in principle, if you talk to the military, well, we even have jokes to that this is my landing, i will fight for it, kill, die, do whatever i want, but i will not give up this landing, and in fact , the personnel has already started to deal with these landings because, well, we understand that a lot was done in these landings and there is a certain Historical Mission of these landings also not to give out, but any war, in my opinion, is a war after all, not for the territory occupied by the territory , then in the final case it is simply occupied. And for the destruction of the personnel in this case , we managed to destroy a very large number or that is, i will tell you there that in one day of the operation we managed to destroy about 120 units of the enemys personnel, taking into account the officers and very, very many units of the enemys military equipment and much more. And this provides great opportunities for continuation of offensive actions since we now fully control the railway and have opportunities for operational space for further attitude when you say that the railway is under control well, in principle, as far as i understand it the russians are sitting somewhere in the area of the railway line of this road and this is for them such a line that they hold on to and which allows them to hold on there. Is there not a contradiction here . It looks like they are in the area of the railway road , that is, when you say that you control it, it means that they do not have the opportunity to use it, that is, trains there, in principle, did not run before that; the railway road can be used to ensure the logistics of the enemy, in addition yes they are holding on to the railway road and the railway road is a certain barrier that must be crossed, but i am actually sure that in the future the offensive actions that are planned on such a scale are not by me, but directly by the leadership of khortytsi, i think that they will successful because the enemy , a demoralized enemy, suffers huge losses, and i think that this opens up very great opportunities for us, mr. Dmitri , and then, as i understand it, the metal is actually this railway line and the tick well, the key point is, are there any things that, well, we can say that this is the key to bahmut, that is, to cut off the russians from being in bahmut, so if you estimated where this place is, which for us is the goal of these offensive actions well, there is no key point as such, i think there is none, because for ours, as our soldiers, as we are, in principle , the enemy will cling to every meter of the ground , that is, it is important to simply carry out the maneuver correctly in order to simply cut them off as often as possible, you can go blind head on and fight for every piece of land for every landing, you can simply surround and cut off, well, i cant tell you now about the full plans of the command there, i am partially initiated into them , but everything looks quite optimistic. As far as i know, just a week ago , the russians were flaunting the fact that they they can safely visit bakhmut and as if now, well, at least journalistic groups do not go there, propagandist ones work well, look at our advances forward, where we have the opportunity to pull up our artillery. It is clear that for them it is quite difficult to move inside the settlement , therefore, of course, every such advance provides opportunities for fire damage to the enemy at a distance, that is , at a further distance. Well, the last definite ee sounded literally it seems yesterday that probably such a general direction of the ukrainian offensive would be, in fact, your point is that the donetsk direction in general could potentially be such a er direction of the ukrainian offensive. How do you feel about this, about this in general, about these conversations . Well , i will tell you that the donetsk direction is, in principle, all of the donetsk and Luhansk Regions. In three days, now they are talking about leaving us at least the dpr and the lpr, and they will cling and they will do everything in order not to hand over donetsk and luhansk oblasts, since they are in fact, the concept of the invasion was that they were supposedly liberating the territories of the donetsk and Luhansk Regions from sight, so we can talk about the fact that the advance is taking place here. Its simple. Well , actually its not just that its advancing here, and its a more priority direction for them. Is it possible it will become a direction for the further offensive, then i hope and am sure that it will happen, but i hope and am sure that this will not be the only direction for the further mood, well , i will specify this, but right now of Russian Forces or vice versa, they decreased, well, that is, if it increases during the last few months, they increase , that is, after all , for them, it remains a politically important story. Its great that you joined us, we wish you there , we wish you success in your direction. This was the commander of the second assault battalion of the third separate labor assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine from the direction of bakhmut, lets go now for a short advertising break, and then we will talk about more southern and other destinations.

Good afternoon. Thank you for the invitation. If you have questions , you will receive answers. So, the question is how to figure out the sportsmen of september, which is on friday at 9 15 p. M. For espresso. Hello, this is freedom, the morning, the informational project of radio svoboda, guests, every day, this is the shipbuilding district of kherson, live inclusion, we are mining somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut, we tell the main thing on weekdays at 9 00, the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians, victories and losses, analysis and forecasts, politics and geopolitics, we will talk about all this Serhii Rudenko and the guests of his program are people who have information and shape public opinion, people who defend ukraine and create the future right now the main and interesting thing in the program is the verdict of Serhiy Rudenko with monday through friday at 8 00 p. M. , repeat at 12 10 a. M. Well, before the commercial break, we talked with dmytro kuharchuk, eh, this is just the internship, eh , the third separate assault brigade, which is in the direction of bakhmut, eh, is very actively advancing there and in fact it is successful. And now, with you, defense express, a military expert from krychev, lets continue to talk. Well, lets see it now. Well , for a certain long time, various western analysts have especially talked about the fact that it is wrong to focus on a few directions you just need to focus on in the southern direction, but what exactly do we have when this situation came to light, when , after all, we have success under bakhmut and there the russians are forced to keep their forces. That is, why, what have we achieved in this way , actually, not slowing down and not reducing, well, if not stopping after all, the next one should be handed over to the bakhmut direction in essence, you know. Lets just say that by conducting active actions in the bakhmut direction, well , consider the command of the village of the defense of ukraine was able to smear the fortune teller of the group of approximately 150,000 people who came not to the south to strengthen the position of the occupiers over there. Well, what if there were not 50,000 bayonets on the bakhmut direction along 60 km , or even approximately 110,000 bayonets in the enemys bayonets on the hokinsky talent directions along the 200 km line of the 200km front line, who are standing there , in fact, it is already very much significant results. And instead of expensive western analysts, instead of hypothesizing about how everything was wrongly done in terms of preparing for the assault operations in the south in the bakhmut direction, they could appreciate that a new one is opening up before them a chapter that could be included in this textbook on asymmetric strategy. Well, because if there, going from the reverse, it is permissible for the armed forces of ukraine to come to the assault march on the bakhmut council in the direction and do approximately everything as they write there, such gentlemen did what they did. The composition of the external third assault brigade is being prepared there, they are getting used to western equipment and are preparing for an offensive in the south, the mobilized brigades are going to the east just to hold back the russians. Well, it turns out that they would have at least 100, and maybe all of them there would have been 150,000 bayonets, but they could have thrown them just then, and they would have moved immediately to the south and it would not have been the same situation. Look at how exhausted they are, what they have to take from other important areas. There is a connection in such a fire mode. It is possible to transfer in the planned accordingly our gains in the south could turn out well, if you look there, of course, from the point of view of evaluating these, well, knowing all the western analysts , we could turn out to be even less gains than now plus , after all, taking into account the fact that we are talking about only about territorial possessions. Perhaps even first of all about the elimination of the potential of the army of the Russian Federation as much as possible, it was with the fact that it is preparing for a new kind of mobilization. It is necessary well, it is not enough just to recruit them, you need at least a person who could be an informal leader, that is, to lead them , or to combine the role of an informal and a formal leader, or simply there will be such well, its okay if he doesnt beat with a sledgehammer, but the previous speaker uses roughly the same repressive methods when he talked about what s happening in the russian officer corps. Obviously, thats what he meant, that is, the russians are starting to lack people who could literally manage by the troops in any sense, so if too by the way, to develop this thesis about and the defeat of the 72nd target of the arrow brigade and this defeat of the 31st landing brigade, lets say goodbye to the current case. Yes, the russians now have four where exactly are the landings, what divisions are there, two of them are airborne assault, two of them are airborne, the difference in the number of heavy weapons that they should have there, according to the state, but they still have four landing brigades, that is, on the basis of which they also planned to deploy divisions roughly according to the mechanics that i prescribed and mr. Kuharchuk, that is, simply take the remaining personnel and increase them like that. Well, the storm z or other mobilized units of the 31st airborne brigade, which suffered there defeat under bakhmut according to the competent statements of russia to the fourth airborne division, well, there is something about them. No updates are received from the russian propagandists on this matter, by the way, about the same 72nd Rifle Brigade there too. They are interested in the nuance that the brigade began to form somewhere in uh, in the winter of last year, that is, it could already be called mobilized, but these were just the best of the mobilized ones, obviously i am not the personnel core and brigades, it came for a very long Time Training there in belarus and there too there are still such specific nuances that there is Something Like the ostrovets brigade, that this so called 25th army, well, the reserve army, which went to the kupyansk limanska directions, they were formed in the Central Military district. Obviously, they have this segmentation of the russians. In ukraine, it takes place, that is, the military district here rather acts as a nonterritorial military body there. And tell me about the Internet Club by interests or factions. Well , it turns out that this is a faction called the Central Military eye is now hers. Well, the 82nd was destroyed by this brigade, minus a very significant number of officers. Well, what about this 25th army, which according to the boldest russian statements, has only one motorized rifle division, one tank brigade , one motorized Rifle Brigade, although behind our walls of our the general staff was supposed to have a division, two Rifle Brigades and one tank. Well, with them, too, something very specific is happening, so you can talk about the level of success of our military during the battle, in particular, in terms of the exhaustion of the Russian Troops actually it takes a long time to tell, and even such a symmetrical result is obtained there, although on paper they still have a lot of uh troops there, that is, there are some groups there, well, a mass of manpower that can be thrown into battle, but it is not, well, organized the army on the basis of which you can deploy additional kim and intestinal organisms and then plan some effective offensive actions for the winter of this year, well, that is , it summarizes that it can be said that even this company , if you look locally, the bakhmut ee caused the fact that the russians simply lost some certain potential opportunities that they had, in addition to the fact that they could not apply these forces to, well, for example, in the south. Yesterday, today, yesterday, there was an opinion voiced by representatives of our general staff, that actually the russian offensive actually stopped at the estuary on the line from lyman to kupyansk, and there the russians managed to advance one or two kilometers in some places, but when this hmm, they didnt manage to capture it. I dont mean that its the first thing, and the second thing is that, actually , they stopped there because they were beaten quite badly by the new firewood. Yes, its exactly the same if you look. Theres one between the new firewood with a smithy, such a whole piece of russian equipment is packed so tightly, er, there is such a er , such a beautiful place, well, we dont see it so directly, its clearly visible where the new horivka is, but the fact is that there they tried to storm there with tanks Something Else , but all this turned out to be very good for so long kalashmatnyi and here comes the question of this stoppage. It is obvious that it is impossible to say that it is a stoppage at all, or that there is Something Like that, all the same, they continue some kind of activity there, after all, artillery airstrikes continue there, moreover , if you look at it. The northern ones are still going there because there is silver forestry, but what we have is some kind of respite from reformatting, is it really all exhaustion, some kind of certainty, what do we have there now, you can describe this situation, i used the term operational pause well, because well, its just a general term for a break, you dont have to say a pause, well, an operational pause is when there are some offensive groups of the military, or maybe ours can take hm well, after all, its probably the first drills, and its just that an offensive group the enemys troops can take a certain pause to recover forces , to adjust the planning, to possibly raise new reserves, and then , you know, to plan some sort of assault actions. Well, i wouldnt write it off there the russians will not advance there, well, if they continue to bomb kupyansk. Well, declaring that it is a supposedly important logistics hub, but in fact simply destroying only our civilians with the latest highprecision weapons. Were forced to take away as far as i know there is one or even two such military associations, as far as i understand the Central Military district. They have such a strange thing going on there. Well, plus, its the 76th assault division. Well, it went there to the south. It was mentioned earlier than the British Ministry of defense announced the transfer of 10,000 russian paratroopers , that is, they can prepare for the renewal of assault opera
