This night in the south and east of ukraine , air Defense Forces shot down 30 aerial targets. Russian troops attacked ukrainian cities with 31 missiletype strike drones. 29 of them shot down by Ukrainian Air defense. The Ukrainian Military also shot down one iskander mm Cruise Missile in the air. In the headquarters of the air command. The forces of the Ukrainian Armed forces reported that the missiles were launched from myis chchaud, and the rocket was launched from dzhankoya district. These are all occupied territories of crimea. All targets were shot down by the Ukrainian AirDefense Forces within mykolaiv and dnipropetrovsk regions. The Defense Forces of ukraine continue their offensive south of bakhmut and are making progress in some directions. Ilya yevlash, the head of the press service of the Eastern Group of troops of the armed forces of the ukrainian ssr, stated this on the air of the teleconference. For his words. Moms Russian Forces are trying to recapture the lost position in the area of klishchivka and andriivka, but without success. Yevlazh say that due to the high intensity of hostilities, the russian army is forced to move its guns closer to the front. In the meantime, the anonymous military telegram channel bakhmudsky demon writes about the first dead wagnerites who returned as part of the russian army to fight in the bakhmud direction, but already under contracts with the Russian Ministry of defense. Earlier, i will remind, the spokesman of the Eastern Group of the zsu troops, ilya yevlash, confirmed this the presence of 500 former wagnerites who operate within the formations of the Russian Ministry of defense in the bakhmut district, in the latest summary of the Russian Ministry of defense for the second of october, there is no mention of the bakhmut direction at all. Denis yaroslavskyi, commander of the Ukrainian Armed forces unit, joins our broadcast. I congratulate you, denis. Greetings, studio, glad to hear and see you. Together, denis, tell us what the Current Situation is in bakhmutskyi. Direction, how intense are the battles and which of the sides currently has the advantage . Currently, our brothers from the south really advanced in the direction of klyshchyvka, they fixed important positions for them, we are directly from the north, we are also trying to take our key lines, this morning and all night there was a very hot situation, now there is also shelling, well, you and i are now from the contact line , thats why here intensively you can hear even constant constant arrivals and artillery work, er, you really said. About we have a small delay in communication and i hope now we will restore contact with denis yaroslavskyi, i will remind you that we are communicating with the commander of the unit of the armed forces of ukraine, denys yaroslavskyi, yes denis, i can already see and hear you, you probably wanted to add that about the wagnerites, because indeed in the telegram channel, in particular the bakhmudsky demon, they write about , that there are the first killed exwagnerians who allegedly returned to fight in this direction, but already as part of the ministry of defense. Russia, can you confirm this information, and are there really dead among them . Well, we cant identify the wagners now or not, because we didnt have it now, of direct capture, they appear without documents, but yes, there is such information that they are returning to the composition of the armed forces of the Russian Federation and are already coming here as contract workers, this is a natural situation after the liquidation of prigozhin, they will partially, because it is valid. Combatcapable unit and it is logical that he will return specifically to the bakhmut direction, because during the months spent here , they understand this territory, and any recansing of another unit is time, and wagner is understood here in the area, so yes, i said this before , we needed them to be recognized as terrorists even earlier in order to come back now, whether or not they were terrorists is fixed at the legislative level, and speaking of which, you say, they are experienced. They know the area, what role, thanks to this knowledge, they are now play for the Russian Forces, because earlier, you and your military colleagues spoke from that direction about the fact that their wagnerians were thrown there for an assault, but now, what is happening, now they are in the brigades that are here, if they en masse now begin to return, then they will enter to the composition of the brigades, and of course, as people who first of all understand the terrain, they will directly pull all the other units with them, especially those that are again on location, another position is that, so here, we control massively, if there will be massively the movement of troops to bakhmut, we shoot through these areas, therefore there will be no mass replacement of any kind of rotation, our task continues systematically, regardless of whether wagner is present or not, we cut off logistical routes. We are doing everything in order to leave groups of enemy groups in the city of bakhmut supplies, this is the main task, that is , it cannot be said that the appearance of the wagnerites in the direction of bakhmut will somehow significantly strengthen the Russian Forces there . No, it doesnt increase it in any way, believe me, you cant underestimate their knowledge either, but as many as 500 or 1,000 of their people will return, it will not critically change the direction of the picture at all, in the press service of the Eastern Group, the ssu say that the Russian Military is trying to restore lost positions in klishchiivki and andriivki districts, what can be said about these attempts, how are they are doing, what tactics are they using and how successful are such attempts . We had a very tragic incident with the guys from the third assault unit, when i will say the names in advance, they said who took what and the enemy, i dont understand whether they took it or not, our soldiers didnt shoot the positions, their battalions, when i understood for. You have information that the third assault unit took a position near andriivka, he rushed there with everything he had , as a result there were casualties, so the enemy, look, the very main position that must be taken into account, everything that we conquer, each trench, every dugout that we conquer, i emphasize, every dugout, the enemy has an impression on his map, then all the coordinates are known to them, we cannot so quickly capture some territory, repulse, occupy our. Trenches, know your positions, more often for everything, the trenches and dugouts that the enemy already has are captured, we call the enemy trenches that way, the enemy makes an impression on them point by point with mortars , which have already been fired there according to these artillery coordinates, so it complicates everything, another problem we faced, the enemy at retreats or, duplicating, makes a trench that is mined in advance, so retreats, he waits for our fighters. Will go to the positions he got before that and blow up the trenches, this is also, we understand it, but the enemy uses it, the most difficult thing in assaults is that all the positions in which he is present, now, he understands exactly to the centimeter , where to hit when he retreats, i also refer to the press service of the Eastern Group of the armed forces of ukraine, and there they say that due to the high intensity of hostilities, the russian army is forced to tighten its guns closer to the front, can you explain what this means, and what other possible tactical decisions are currently being resorted to by the forces of the Russian Federation . We dont have to wait to see if they pull up or not, we have a normal aerial reconnaissance, we need. We need more strike drones, or reusable, or disposable, socalled dronnicats, and they use lancets, but we need candleblades or similar, because it is through these means of impression that we can control and impress their artillery, no matter what, tanks, etc. , this is our priority, we say this all the time, give us more drones in the comikatka, then they will raise their artillery, they will not raise, there is no sign at all. Denis, officially the ukrainian side says that in bakhmut russia has concentrated more than 1,000 personnel there, that it receives tank, motorized rifle and airborne regiments, can you say whether this is a large number of troops, compared to the general situation at the front, compared to by what used to be in this direction, and what can be said also about quality and the professional, professional quality of these forces, come on, come on, we are here when we hear from the tv screens that the russians have to shift brigades here and there, stretch the front, cover up the cities, i cant say about the entire front, but we are joking here, that we do not feel the lack of russians here, believe me, there are 10,000 this is a really serious group, if it is in the hands of the ughurs or, the general staff, that there are 10,000, this is a serious group, and it does not matter whether it is carefully prepared or diluted, mobilized, it is serious groups, with a serious bc, believe me, it is very difficult to take such groups, the only, only military, tactical, way to take these groups is to completely drive them into a vacuum, into a nonactual environment, into an operational environment, so that they cannot receive bc. They did this when we were in bakhmut, they cut off our logistical routes, we dug up new routes , we passed through the plowed fields there in order to bring in troops, this is very important, the enemy understands this, military tactics, they are one and the same itself, cut off the grouping, thats what we are doing now we do, the enemy also understands this, there are other ways to attack the side, so there will be 1000 there, there is no way, when they run out of the last liter of fuel in the generators and run out of the last cartridge, 10,000 people will surrender, it is necessary understand, i thank you for participating and telling about the situation in the bakhmut region, denys yaroslavskyi, the commander of the Ukrainian Armed forces unit, was a guest on our broadcast. And then we will talk about such information, the fact is that almost 250 missiles of various types, almost 750 drones and more than a thousand guided air bombs, these are the calculations, and this is exactly how many Russian Troops used against ukraine during september, this is exactly what the president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during, including during the meeting of the ministers of Foreign Affairs of the eu Member States in kyiv, only for september russia used against ukraine 246 missiles of various types, 746 attack drones, including 538 of which were iranian drones, rocket launchers, and 1,159 guided aerial bombs. The absolute majority of these strikes against. Civilian objects, all are the same targets for russia, ordinary houses, central squares, bridges, schools, elevators, etc. , grain warehouses, ports, our power plants, therefore, zelensky suggested western partners to be as active as possible in the issue of strengthening the air shield of ukraine, this was a quote, according to zelensky, of the pppo system, which previously received by ukraine, and these are the patriots, the airists are already saving lives, but they are needed even more, the eu promises to help ukraine create a protective umbrella of air defense, generators and enhanced Energy Supply for the winter. About this before the start of the meeting, on to whom zelsky spoke, stated the minister of Foreign Affairs of germany, anlena berbock. Meanwhile, kamikaze drone strikes on the territory of ukraine will continue, and russia will continue to increase their production. This was stated on our air by the spokesman of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine yuriy ignat. And military analysts. The defense express portal calculated that in september, the Russian Military launched 503 drones of the minefield type over ukraine. This is significantly more than the previous highest figure in may 413 drones. Valentyn badrrak, military analyst, director of the center for army, conversion and disarmament studies, joined our broadcast. I congratulate you. Congratulations, glad to see, yes, mutually, in your opinion, and whether the partners will have time to help. Ukraine should equip this air shield, an air umbrella, to protect at least the Energy Infrastructure in winter from russian attacks, and here the main thing is to keep in mind several such points, the first of which is that the partners have such potential, it is true, and it is necessary to act not only in linear ways, as well, we think that only there, lets say, it can be transfer, or, lets say, the sale of some systems, but also to go through exchanges, well, germany has already introduced such things when , say, it withdraws its weapons, such as antiaircraft artillery installations, which have proven themselves very well, and for ukraine, it is necessary , lets say, resource support, because some, but already during the 2223 war , there was a certain surge in technology, and i want to remind you that in may, the end of may, the beginning of june, the latest antimissile systems were simultaneously almost. Demonstrated by israel and south korea and they claimed that their systems are better than patriot, this should be kept in mind and so that we could get, well, for example, lets say, at the expense of western countries buying, and for now, either there could be some leasing system, or there could be some lending system, which the same is now offered to the world market. And in any way to overcome it, there are more modern systems, lets say, if i was talking about antimissile systems, then antidrone systems, new ones, were also demonstrated by the german rhine metall, by the way, this skynex, which was also there, is already a new version of the cheetah, ot turkey proposed a more modern version of the cheetah, that is, in the world, a lot is being created in the world right now, i want to remind you that the United States and Great Britain again almost synchronously, already at the end of september, demonstrated the latest Laser Systems against unmanned Unmanned Aircraft complexes, and it would be , well probably not bad, they are just as interested in testing them in real war, it would be just as good to increase the number of these systems, and of course, very simple things like 23, the old ones, yes, the spikes, these old ones, they can be scaled production, as russia actually does, scales, the production of what there is, those missiles, those drones, and that is why there is so much of all this, there is one more aspect that is very important, i want to say that literally today it became known in ukraine that such a new document appeared in the state department. The document of the state department , the Development Strategy of ukraine, there are two very important things, the first thing, for the first time, in fact, it is officially stated that the United States wants to ensure ukraines victory, this is a very huge thing, very important, but next to this it is said that ukraine should carry out the deoligarchization of the economy, and strengthen the fight against corruption, that is, there are, i see here. Two points that the United States, well, is developing some additional such things , which may now be such an intermediate moment, at the moment when these domestic political issues are resolved there , when there is left, yes, now we have 5. 2 billion dollars for several months, lets say so, to help ukraine, but during this time the United States acquire such greater determination, and actually, if this word victory is confirmed, then, well, for me, the word victory will be relevant when i saw the armed forces with attack missiles, that is, Army Tactical missile systems, which can hit at 300 km and in fact, and they will help during the offensive of Ukrainian Forces there, but you said, you mentioned the secret secret document that was published in politics, but now the question is that winter is near, that russian attacks are increasing, that the number. Of drones released, there only in september of shaheds, she was there huge, more than 500 of them were released, and on our broadcast there , mr. Egnat spoke about the need for more means of defense, Volodymyr Zelenskyi talks about, as an example at this meeting, he said about the patriots, airistet nasamsa, who are already in ukraine, to which there is no need to teach people, yes, because new weapons mean new training, so now there will be time to strengthen the ukrainian Defense Forces and protect the ukrainian sky during these weeks and months. Eh, here you need to understand what we mean when we say the ukrainian sky, yes, if we say protect actual armed forces, groups that operate, or is it decisionmaking there, say, there are government structures and so on, in kyiv, then of course this has already been done in fact infrastructure, Energy Infrastructure, what now, if we are talking about the whole of ukraine, then of course it will be impossible to do, it must be understood that it is absolutely impossible, zelensky in the 23rd year at the beginning said that we need 50 patriot systems, then this is an absolute fantasy, because 12 systems are produced per year and the queue for them is already such that there, well, thats why i said it about exchanges, about the possibility of exchanges, lets say, some things have been delivered to egypt, for example, to work with egypt so that missiles are received by ukraine, for example, yes, or there are others, there are many other countries, now poland has signed a huge contract and receives, including these patriots and everything, and everything else, four batteries of patriots of patriots, why not, for example, make such a change in the queue. The queue first ukraine, and then all other countries, if such political decisions are made, i am not suddenly about the Strategy Development said, and by the way the document which you said that there is a secret document that the politician made public, there is a secret document, and there is an open one, so today i am talking about the open official document of the state department, that is , it is a political decision, primarily, as far as i heard from you, about the longterm nature of the war in general and such the plans that you in the usa are already developing there have a certain strategy, when you see it and there you will see that the usa is really for the victory of ukraine and there will be concrete steps, including with weapons, with atakams, this means a lot, russia also intends to to increase military spending next year by 68 , for the 24th year, and the kremlin has declared this necessary in view of the hybrid war that is allegedly being waged against russia, cnn writes about this, British Intelligence also says that putin is preparing for a long war, yours, how can you analyze the intensity of this long war that russia is preparing for, do they have the financial capacity, is it about defending the territories they have already occupied and resisting a counterattack, or russia has plans to seize more, or for them, the main goal now is to hold out, the formal situation looks like this, to survive until the 23rd year for russia, because now there is crazy pressure from the armed forces of ukraine and to hold out in general, yes, when shoigu throws up his hands, yes, when he is asked whether we will win or not, then this is evidence that it is very difficult for them now , but russia has an almost unlimited resource , well, at least for the next three or four years, it has a financial, human, technical, technological resource, if the world does not change, well, its. Position, for example, sanctions are not in effect, literally right now, today in the morning, i saw that again in russian t72 tanks, some version is modernized , they found again a french thermal imager from the company tales, yes, it is today the fall of the 23rd year, it means that smuggling is working and so on, sanctions are not working, what needs to be done, we remember that in may of this year, the big seven wanted to consider the introduction of a full. Embargo against a complete ban on exports to russia, except for medical and food products, they didnt dare, they didnt dare, yes, thats the problem, and jes was ready to do it after a big pinch, that is, to go this way, the big twenty did not even dare to formulate normally about war and about aggression, that is why the issue of the field at the political level is very difficult, the issue at the technical level is that russia is now deploying and deploying everything, we know that the 25th army has been introduced and russia is rotating, this does not mean that this army is there, well, it is prepared there, lets say, the other day izvestia published an article where it is said that new types of intelligencesurveillance units are being deployed and created in russia, and this means that they are now thinking about new attacks and new ones. These units should act in such a way as to break the enemys defenses, that is, us, yes, and this means that they are acting now in advance, everyone is looking at the 24th year already, everyone is looking at the 24 and a year, well, there are Technological Solutions , but they are again related to politics, if , if they would quickly help ukraine, if they cannot provide. Their missiles, but they would quickly help with the modernization of the neptunes and scale it up so that it was there are not units of rockets, but that there were hundreds of rockets, even thousands, because before the war, this was the prewar situation, ukraine could create more than 200 neptune missiles in a year, in fact, if the world would now start helping technologically and with production capacity, then, in principle, it would be possible to triple this number and range as well, for this purpose a forum was held of the defense industries, and which we have observed, and there will surely be a result, we are waiting for this at least. For information about this, thank you for joining and sharing your thoughts, valentyn badrrak, military analyst, director of the center for Army Research of conversions and disarmament was our guest. This is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and further on in this stream we also talk about important topics. The crimean activists dzhelal, asan and Aziz Akhtemov are staged from sizo in crimea to russia in the geneva conventions. In the meantime, human rights defenders have identified more than 22 representatives of the occupying authorities of crimea who are denying treatment to detained crimeans. We talk with ryfat chubarov about what is happening on the peninsula with the Crimean Tatars against the background of the attacks on crimea. From today the nbu cancels the fixed Exchange Rate for the First Time Since the beginning of the fullscale invasion, but the National Bank promises to control fluctuations and that this will not affect the population. Is this true, how much will the dollar grow and how will these changes affect prices. I would like to remind you that svoboda morning is with you every weekday from 9 00 on the tv channel and also here on radio svoboda youtube.

Volodymyr zelenskyy asks brussels not to make new demands on kyiv the start of negotiations on ukraines accession to the eu. He stated this at the Plenary Session of the council of ministers of Foreign Affairs of the eu states , which took place in kyiv. Despite the fact that ukraine needs reforms in the future, now , he says, it is important to focus on the seven recommendations that brussels and kyiv agreed upon earlier. What other statements were made at the first meeting of eu ministers in the ukrainian capital. What was agreed upon and why this event is called historic, see the review of Radio Liberty correspondent roksolane bychay. For the First Time Since the creation of the European Union meeting of the eu council of ministers from abroad. Affairs takes place outside the current borders of the union. 27 eu Member States delegated their representatives to the meeting of the council of ministers, which was held in kyiv. In particular, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the president of ukraine, spoke about the fact that the seven eu states have not yet joined the security guarantees for ukraine, and also condemned the pause in the adoption of sanctions against russia. Therefore, you and i must press, constantly press, constantly bring the time of security for europe closer, the pressure on russia is obviously not enough, dear partners, this can be seen primarily from the increase in the number of attack drones and airstrikes by russian terrorists, more joint work is needed against any forms and schemes of circumvention of sanctions by russia, any supply to russia that allows it to increase military production must stop, this is a clear interest not only of ukraine, and everyone in the world. Who wants a faster end to this war. Any sanctions pauses increase the time of russian aggression, and the pause after the 11th sanctions package has already been too long. As noted by the high representative of the eu, joseph borel, such the meetings are informal because they take place outside the borders of the European Union and are considered high level political debates. According to the results of the meetings. He said that the eu may adopt a new aid package for ukraine by the end of the year. We talked about security guarantees and commitments that we can offer to ukraine and thereby demonstrate that we support it in the long term and that we want to counter russias destabilizing activities. I proposed a new bilateral Multiyear Program within the support fund peace of europe. We are offering 5 billion euros over the next few years and we hope to reach an agreement by the end of this year. We continue to provide training for ukrainian soldiers, now aiming to train 40,000 ukrainian soldiers in the coming months. He added that the ministers discussed president zelenskyis peace plan to garner more support. Also, the topics of the agenda of the meeting were , in particular, ukraines integration into the European Union. We will implement the seven recommendations that were in
