Of each piece of the front , give us a picture in general that we need now in order to achieve at least the intermediate goals of this offensive in order to reach the some successful milestones for us well, judging by this, the missile definitely didnt give the cockpit, no matter how it is now, it didnt sound because , after all, there are 155 mm shells that can be delivered here and now. First of all , additional means of demining of an independent form are needed are they made there . Are they german engineering tanks or american and polish mine clearance equipment . Is it possible that there are warehouses of the warsaw pact somewhere . They also ordered more ur83p installations. That s for sure. We need additional armored vehicles. What did germany say that it gives . It is necessary because even now the american analysts who write about such and such carefully warn that such and such is a strategic weapon not suitable for a specific company that if we are given cassettes to attack it in a strange way that it would rather be suitable for the destruction of the Russian Air Defense is the americans , it turns out. Yes, these cluster bombs were used for attacks. Well, if they give monobloc attacks, then this is rather some kind of story that will allow the release of modernized neptunes for strikes on the crimean bridge, that is, right away it is suggested to prepare for the fact that this is not the kind of missile that will give an advantage in some campaign here and now, that it is such a delayed effect. Demining, engineer, what kind of means, aviation weapons, in the end , no one there canceled and just the taurus are such well , considering the fact that we managed to turn them into a more political issue well, for now, it will be resolved as soon as possible the question is political. Look, now it would probably be correct to say that now the whole company has an idea somehow, well, each side is trying to make the most of the forces that have already been accumulated, that is, the russians are pulling up the last reserves. Some huge forces absolutely had to form this Fortieth Army in addition to the kherson army, as they are called, and it goes on, well, in essence, it is a competition who will use their reserves more correctly. Well, we will not evaluate our reserves, but lets try to evaluate the russian ones, because now it seems that they have 400,000 on the battlefield, and judging by everything , they can or cannot raise additional forces. Whether there are 300 or 200, well, it is not known there, each time they call a Different Number of additional forces, whether these forces should appear on the battlefield or not, they should somehow evaluate it, let us surround the idea that the competition is not only with the use of ones own reserves, but also a competition to exhaust other peoples and right here if we take this situation on the field, because even this bakhmut success in relation to the rout of the 31st airborne brigade, for example, this means that they will not deploy an additional Airborne Division by the end of the year. I understand later, lets talk about the two Airborne Divisions out of the four that they have. No brigades, brigades, the plan is to deploy the new child as a better one than these, here are 10 types of paratroopers, thousands of whom there seemed to have rubbed off in the southern direction. Insults, even the former socalled, well, conditionally, of course, the first and Second Army Corps sell some more mobilized Rifle Divisions, and with a Light Movement of rockets, they are already called landing on the division , this is actually where the paratroopers came from. Of course, this is a big problem, because it is a very large number of manpower supported by artillery, but well, this cannot be called the summer troops, our happiness , what is it called or some 40th reserve corps in the south or there already on the 18th well, in the deployed army well, then the 18th army left it was created by such an expansion of the 22nd army corps of the marine fleet, they turned a motorized Rifle Division and a regiment into a general military army, that is, even here, a paradoxical story emerges, which already emerges, in fact, the west , assessing our successes, so that it is possible that there will not be some clear territorial successes, but the fact that at the level of tracking the russian army, it is obvious and can even be measured in concrete numbers. Speaking at rammstein, he assessed that the russians are landing there, ukraine has the potential for an offensive and has liberated 54 of the occupied territories, it is not about to stop , it is obvious that the west as a whole is now following such a course that, despite the fact that the russians have a very large amount of resources on paper they are tracked in some way and it turns out that we have our Resource Base more expensively more efficiently. Accordingly, we can run for a longer, lets call it a figurative distance, than the russians, who, on paper, have some oto well, because there are huge resources, but in fact well, you know, we lived to the point where the russians, for the first time during a largescale war, went into an operational pause, having 110,000 bayonets near, well, this luhansk kupyan direction, they never had anything like this. In 2022, they were not stopped, but something will happen to me, now such an incredible result of a successful defense operation of the armed forces of ukraine has happened, well, lets talk about how it was managed to exhaust it. Dmytro kukharchuk, commander of the second assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade, joins us the armed forces of ukraine. I congratulate you, mr. Dmytro. Well, actually, with your efforts, one of these 72 separate motorized rifle brigades was eliminated in the andriyivka area, and it is your unit that works there under andriyivka. Recently yuriy botusov wrote a post that this is a very good use of force, this is an example of such, you know, a reasonable confrontation and a reasonable liberation of the territory, so could you describe it in more detail . But it all turned out in andriivka look, i will probably start counteroffensive actions from the very beginning. We started at the beginning of may, and even then we broke the 72nd brigade for the first time. That is, we completely bled them and deprived them of their personnel, but the brigade continued to occupy the defined line of defense, that is, the brigade itself as such they were not simply supplemented, they were supplemented by other brigades, other units , i. E. During this time, we kindly endured the enemys 57th brigade, the enemys 83rd airborne brigade, the 31st enemys oldest brigade, and i want to remind you that the second battalion of this brigade, with which we were in clashes, is considered putins fire brigade, the 85th brigade is the socalled espanola pvk and the so called e. E. They suffered as well because they have a lot of strength, a lot of resources, a lot of management, the whole time was almost lost. Well , the maximum was already, if we speak correctly, because it was completely lost already. When we went to andriivka and it was liquidated liquidated three battalion commanders of this brigade were liquidated, the intelligence chief of the brigade, the communications chief of the brigade, and a lot of comments, questions, sometimes we talk about the liberation of the territory, we see on the map of the deep state map, the territory is being liberated, but i think that the complete destruction of the brigade itself is much more important here, since creating a brigade is actually very, very difficult , i understand. Since we ourselves were creating a third separate assault brigade, i understand how this process takes place in this case, in this case, the destruction of the officer corps. I think that this is exactly the most priority task, because after there will be no officer corps and there will be no one to command those millions of russians who continue to mobilize the same question in them and their sensor i hear you, i hear them continue to mobilize them the troops continue to saturate creating some new connections, but for this you need management, for this you need an officer corps and, unfortunately, people only see liberated National Points in order to free a settlement for this you have to go a long way in releasing landings, you know very often they say that this is a war for landings and in principle, if you talk to the military, well, we even joke that this is my landing , i will fight for it, kill, die, do whatever, but i will not give up this landing, and in fact the personnel has already equaled these landings because, well, we understand that a lot was done in these landings and there is a certain Historical Mission to not give up these landings either, but any war, in my opinion, is a war not too busy the territory, the territory, then in the final case , simply occupy a for the destruction of the personnel in this case. Taking into account the officer corps and the very, very large amount of enemy military equipment and much more. And this gives a great opportunity for continued offensive actions. Since we now have complete control of the railway and have opportunities for operational space for further mood when you say that the railway road is controlled well, in principle, as far as i understand , it is the russians who are sitting somewhere in the area of this railway road and this is such a line for them, as if er, which they hold on to and which allows them to stay there, isnt there a contradiction, that is, explain this idea a little, because it looks like this on the map, that 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 to use, that is, trains did not run there in principle before that, the railway road can be used to ensure the logistics of the enemy, in addition , they keep to the railway road and the railway road is a certain barrier , er, line that you have to jump over, but i am really sure that in the future , the offensive actions that are planned on such a scale, not by me, but directly by the khortytsi leadership of the solidarity date, i think that they will be successful, because the enemy, a demoralized enemy, is suffering huge losses, and i think that this opens up very great opportunities for us, mr. Dmytro, and then, as i understand it, the metal is actually this railway line and the clamp, and this is already a key point. Are there any things that . The russians have the opportunity to be in bakhmut. If you were to estimate where this is the place that for us is the goal of these offensive actions, well, there is no key point as such. I think that there is none, because for ours , as our soldiers, as we are, in principle, the enemy will cling to every meter land that is here it is just important to carry out the maneuver correctly in order to simply cut them off as often as possible, you can go straight ahead 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 partly an initiate in them but everything looks quite optimistic. As far as i know, just a week ago, the russians were flaunting the fact that they could safely visit bakhmut, and as if now, well, at least uh, journalistic propaganda groups dont go there. Its true or not. How would you rate it, how much more difficult it has become for them to work there now . Well, look at our advances , where i have the opportunity to draw up our artillery. Therefore, of course, every such advance provides opportunities for fire damage to the enemy at a distance, i. E. At a further distance. Well , the last certain ee sounded literally yesterday about the fact that this would probably be the direction of the ukrainian offensive in general actually, this is your point, this donetsk direction in general could potentially be such a direction of the ukrainian offensive. How do you feel about this, about this, in general, about these conversations , and i will tell you that the donetsk direction is, in principle, all of donetsk and luhansk regions , they are from from the very beginning were considered and are considered by the enemy as the most priority direction, if from the very beginning of the fullscale invasion the enemy was talking about kyiv 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 for in order not to give it to donetsk and luhansk oblasts, since their concept of the invasion was that they were supposedly liberating the territories of the donetsk luhansk oblasts from sight, so to say that progress is taking place here is simple well, in fact, it is not simple it is advancing here. This is the most priority direction for them. And can it 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 attitude, well, i will clarify this this is what it is right now uhuh, do you determine there, for example, uhuh, the number of Russian Forces increased there, or on the contrary, they decreased, well, that is, if this is the case during the last few months, they are increasing, that is, after all, for them, it remains p lets say politically an important story and it is very good in principle for us during yes yes thank you it was dmytro kuharchuk thank you very much for joining 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 of the assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine from the direction of bakhmut, lets now go on a short advertising break, and then we will talk about more southern and other directions.

Well, for a certain long time, various western analysts have especially talked about the fact that it is wrong to focus on several directions, it is necessary to focus only on the southern directions, but what exactly do we have, when did this situation appear, 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. The next to the bakhmut direction, if you convey the essence, then you know exactly. Lets say that by conducting active actions in the bakhmut direction, well, consider that the command of the force defense of ukraine was able to blur the impression of a group of approximately 150,000 people who came not to the south to strengthen the positions of the occupiers , but there on the bakhmut direction along 60 km, well , even these 110,000 are approximately ere in enemy bayonets on the kupyan metalbreaking directions along the 200km line of the 200km front line which are there, in fact, these are already very significant results. And instead of there, dear western analysts, instead of pretending, oh, if everything was done incorrectly in terms of preparing for the assault hopes in the south in the bakhmut direction , they could appreciate that a new chapter was opening before them, which could be would include this textbook of the
