Declared a state of war for the first time in 50 years years reuters writes about at least 700 israelis killed by hamas and dozens abducted in response. Israel fires rockets at gas , killing at least 400 people. How will this conflict develop, who benefits from it, and will they be able to help ukraine less because of this escalation . The forces of the russian army were forced into the district of Velika Novosilka in Donetsk Region, British Intelligence reports. They add that it is relative here. However, the fighting in the taurian direction continues. The general staff is already talking about worsening weather conditions. What is the situation at the front, like the weather affects the ukrainian offensive. More than 100 ukrainians have turned to the embassy of ukraine in israel for help, says zelenskyi. It is already known about two dead ukrainians in the country. We found a family that fled the Russian Occupation to israel and now found itself again in the middle of hostilities. Can ukrainians evacuate now and how safe is it . This morning we are talking about what is happening in ukraine, what is the situation at the front. Every morning on the radio Svoboda Youtube channel from 9 00 a. M. We talk about important events. Subscribe to our channel if you dont miss important broadcasts. The intelligence of Great Britain states that the Ukrainian Military managed to confine Russian Forces in the district of Velika Novosilka in Donetsk Region, preventing them from strengthening others. Directions, yes, according to intelligence, in the area near Velika Novosilka, west of the city of vukhledar in Donetsk Region, it has become relatively calm over the past four weeks. And in comparison with junejuly, this year, the intensity of hostilities was much lower, according to British Intelligence, and they add that over the summer the armed forces liberated at least 125 km of territory in this direction. In addition, the Russian Forces are probably in a defensive position, in order to protect against possible future offensive operations of the armed forces, the department adds. According to the ukrainian general staff, as of yesterday evening, the operational situation in the east and south of ukraine remains difficult. They also announced there about 38 skirmishes on the front between ukraine and russia. Oleksandr shtupun, the spokesman of the joint presentation of the Defense Forces of the tavria direction , joined our broadcast. I salute you sir alexander glory to ukraine. Glory to the heroes, tell our viewers what the situation is now in the taurian direction, what are the successes or difficulties, what is the number of affected forces of the Russian Federation that we can talk about . For the second day in a row, the activity of the enemys aviation and artillery is falling, so during the past day , the enemy carried out eight airstrikes and carried out 455 shellings, but the occupiers continue their assaults in the avdiyiv and maryinsky directions, where they carried out about 15 unsuccessful attacks in the avdiyivka, novomykhailivka areas and maryinka, on the mine in the direction of the enemys offensive actions, neviv is, lets say, in active defense, in zaporizhzhia, our defenders repelled the enemys attack in the district north of novoprokopivka, the enemy is trying to repel something. Er, in general, 18 combat encounters with the enemy were recorded in the tavria direction per day. We are also continuing the offensive operation in melitopol. Direction, we have partial success west of the willow, our soldiers are inflicting losses on the occupiers, are entrenched on occupied lines, we are conducting demining and reconnaissance in readiness for further actions, units, our rocket launcher, our rocket launchers and artillery fired 795 Fire Missions during the day, the total losses of the enemy amounted to 147 people, six units of enemy military equipment were destroyed, including two tanks, three armored combat vehicles and one artillery system, and three the enemys ammunition depots, as you can see, the activity in our direction has fallen somewhat, well, we associate this with the weather and the fact that the enemy is partially regrouping. Mr. Oleksandr, what do you associate with being russian . Forces have now reduced Aviation Activity and artillery in the taurian direction, it is also related to the weather, or there are some problems with logistics, or they are saving their shells and preparing for something, well, we relate it more to the weather, because it is quite unflyable, lets say the visibility is bad, so now the sun has come out, maybe the enemy will activate again, in the British Intelligence they say that in the Velika Novosilka district. In Donetsk Region now, as they say there, it is relatively calm, because the armed forces of ukraine have shackled the forces of the Russian Federation there, do you confirm this, and what does this mean that the forces the Russian Federation will no longer storm this part of the front, or maybe they are waiting for reinforcements . I think that the enemy will not calm down, and not only there, everywhere, well, now, as you can see, he has done, the accent is still doing, he continues on avdiivka and marinka, he continues to storm there, er, well, we, we also, on certain areas we are in active defense, and the enemy needs to raise reserves, it is necessary to raise ammunition, it rained a little, logistics, lets say, are difficult, so, well, but i think the enemy will not relax, will try and further. To storm somewhere, to distract us from the offensive. Mr. Oleksandr, you mentioned about the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine in the direction of melitopol, can you tell us the details, whether the weather affects the ukrainian offensive, and because you mentioned earlier that now because of the rain, for example, it is difficult to use uavs, tell us what you can, yes, well fortunately, this pogo weather also affects the enemy, he also reduced the activity of bpp, their wear. Partly windy, poor visibility, so we can say that at this stage the front has calmed down a bit, well, but the enemy is active where he already knows the positions well and mainly moves forward with infantry, so on avdiivka he continues to push his storm units forward, mr. Oleksan. Can we say here that the movement of the armed forces of ukraine and the actions of the enemy will slow down due to weather conditions and when this happens and in such a case, how will it look, it will be positional battles, how can it look . I dont want to predict anything, it depends on many factors, so we will act as the enemy gives us, as we concentrate certain forces. I dont want to give forecasts, but as for whether there are rotations, certain strengthening of Russian Forces in the taurian direction, what can you say . Well, the rotations go on all the time, because the enemy suffers losses, now they have decreased somewhat, but before that it was around 300 people per day, that is, the enemy is forced to pull up some units to replenish. Their bloodless units. And is there any information from where they are tightening, in which directions, this is an increase in the tavrian directions. We will leave this information for intelligence, and when, when necessary, we pro we will let you know. Thank you, thank you for joining our broadcast, oleksandr shtupun, spokesperson of the United Press Center of the Defense Forces of the tavria region, was a guest of svoboda ranok. And after the september meeting between putin and kimchenin between russia and north korea , rail traffic increased sharply, as evidenced by north korean satellite images. Of the tumangan railway station, this was reported by the analytical project of the American Center for strategic and International Studies beyond parallel, and here are the pictures that were taken on october 5 of this year show probably 73 closed wagons on the railway, if we analyze the data for the last five years, then at most 20 such wagons were sent to this connection. Given the recent talks between the leaders of both countries, analysts suggest. That the sharp increase in rail traffic is likely to indicate north koreas supply of weapons and ammunition to russia. I will remind you that on september 13, kim jongun visited russia, then, answering the question about whether the russian and north korean leaders will discuss the issue militarytechnical cooperation, putin answered, and i quote lets talk about all issues. At the time, the New York Times wrote that putin wanted to receive from kinder. Artillery shells and antitank missiles, and from kimjen, russia would provide north korea with technology for satellites for nuclear submarines. The head of the main directorate of intelligence and the ministry of defense of ukraine, kyrylo budanov, said in a comment in september that russia had been receiving projectiles from north korea for a month and a half. We will now talk about these probable supplies. I will also remind you that today our youtube viewers, you see that our topic, we will also discuss in detail what is happening between israel and hamas, we have already been joined by oleksandr kovalenko, the military observer of the resistance intelligence group, i welcome you, mr. Oleksandr. Good morning, many topics to discuss, lets start with the possible cooperation between north korea and russia, about the possibility that north korea is strengthening the russian army, here we see some investigations, satellite images, is this cooperation really possible at the moment, are these really evidence can indicate that certain, certain weapons are coming from north korea to russia . It is quite possible, but we still need to be careful with this issue for now, why, because there is no verified confirmation that it is precisely from north korea that the weapons are coming, so we see a cluster and at the only Railway Crossing between north korea and russia is a bridge friendship of wagons , although it has its own specifics, on satellite images we see a large number of wagons, almost 70 units, but some of them are tanks with fuel, fuel and lubricants materials, this is the first moment, the second moment, for all, for all this mass, just two locomotives. Two locomotives that can pull anywhere from 10 to 15 cars, and then 15 this, i think, they wont be able to at all , because of their condition, and therefore, its about what, its about the capacity of this particular railway, its singletrack , and this is only a reverse connection, there are problems with locomotives with the maintenance of locomotives in north korea, wagons are wagons, their maintenance is not. It takes a large amount of some kind of resource and knowledge, but the locomotive is the problem, and they have lost their power and cannot pull, for example, an echelon of 5060 wagons, that is, if there are deliveries, they will be made in such small batches, and is it possible to somehow strengthen russia, hardly, hardly, but still , it would be much better if there were direct. Verified data that this or that nomenclature of northern ukrainian ammunition is sent to russia, because the connection between them, it has always been, so especially after the coronavirus pandemic, it significantly decreased, this is the connection, but the turnover of goods was taking place, what is happening now, we can only say that the movement of trains, that is, goods wagons, is being restored. And whether there are weapons there, whether there are not only ammunitions, but Something Else , well, there is no answer to this yet, mr. Oleksandr, but can we talk about the fact that, because such a version existed in ukrainian mediapore, what might be in these trains , for example, chinese weapons , oleg katkov, the editorinchief of defense express, said about such a possibility earlier, for example, that such cooperation could be, i do not see the point to create only a complex scheme, when in any case this weapon will be identified, because any weapon can be identified. Even if it passed through the northern territory, it can be identified that it is precisely chinese weapons , just as, for example, we, in the war zone , have already identified iranian weapons that were supplied from iran, and a very interesting point, chinese weapons , for example, ammunition for the 152nd or 122nd caliber barrel artillery, these are d20 and d30, shells for them, the chinese received the Russian Occupying forces, but it was not china, it was not a direct supply from china, it was a supply in the 1980s to iran, and iran is now sending these projectiles to russia even with its powder charges, but the powder charge, here is also a very interesting point, why its iranian propellant charge, because the chinese one is still. Years old, well, it no longer has it, it has already expired, iran itself produces propellant charges, that is, one could think that it is china that is now supplying russia with projectiles, but no, managed to identify what it is a party that took place in the 1980s to iran, and by such signs you can find out whether it is really a chinese projectile manufactured in china, or whether it is a chinese projectile that was delivered there in some. Years to north korea, and here such complex schemes in modern conditions of research, when it is possible to carry out, well, i do not see the point, especially since there is a large border between china and russia, and there is also a Railway Connection there, it is possible to disguise it as some commercial freight wagons, such and such a transfer of ammunition will be the same scheme, because if you you send to. China a carload of ammunition, not really, if china sends a carload of ammunition to north korea, it can be recorded and it will be recorded, in north korea this carload will be shipped to russia, it will also be recorded, so whats the point , if it will be known anyway, well, lets move on to the topic, to israel , because ukrainians, well, including us , are interested in information and are worried about what is happening in the middle east, we know that the israeli army is conducting an Operation Iron swords and strikes back airstrikes on the gaza strip, and do you think the idf tshal will go on a fullscale ground operation in gaza . I do not know the plans of the idf command, but from my position i would say yes, this is the only way out today for israel to solve for itself in the long term the problems of such strikes coming from the gas sector, that is, a complete sweep from the complete destruction of hamas and a complete clearing this region. Well , the israeli side also declares this, let me remind you that the israeli ambassador to the un, for example, said on Security Council meeting, that in israel they seek the complete destruction of hamas, literally, he said, to erase it from the face of the earth, as quoted by snn, israel has already declared that it is in a state of war, in your opinion, can it turn into a long war, hardly, because hamas , he, you know what ill tell you, when i saw the invasion of israel on october 7th, hamas fighters, i didnt see hamas there really, i didnt see hamas tactics there, because who is hamas , hamas are banal terrorists who are quite primitive there has always been a tactic of conducting some. Actions aimed exclusively at achieving the goal of killing a large number of civilians or military personnel, but it all always happened chaotically, unbalanced, well , that is, hamas are such baboons with grenades, thats who hamas is, and this time i saw a completely different hamas, it wasnt even hamas, because these were the signs of a wellprepared military operation. From a planned highquality military operation, and one of the goals, as one of the combat tasks of this operation, was indeed terror and intimidation through the killing of a large number people, but the general goal was otherwise to demonstrate that israel, it is weak , and they achieved this goal, so israels response should be tougher and hamas, it is not capable of any largescale resistance to israel, as well as the palestinians, they in this case , although in their majority, support. this terrorist organization, they have local heroes there, but again, against the quality of the operation conducted by sakhal, they will not be able to oppose anything, therefore, i believe that it is not there will be some longlasting war, that there will be a very quick and highquality cleanup, yes with a large number of victims from the representatives of hamas and the gas sector of the general civilian population, it must be understood that there will be these victims during this operation, but in general i do not think that it will be long. Mr. Oleksandr, here we have come to the point, and who takes the side of hamas, or perhaps will take this side, because, for example, the wall street journal writes that iran helped hamas develop this operation, so that intelligence would not find out about it in particular israel, however the representative of iran at the un asked. Says that in this way the israel Defense Forces wants to justify its weakness, to which version, by the way, are you inclined, and again, there is such a question, and could russia become the ideological inspiration, lets say, of this operation, i want to remind , that iran still hasnt recognized that shahek 136 is its kamikaze drone, so listening to what irans representative in the un is saying, well, its kind of a pleasure, to say the least. And as for general support, kamas primarily has support from iran, thats all, but it must be understood that russia, well, lets say this , since the time of the soviet union, has a corresponding curatorship over palestine, and its connections in the kgb, the soviet union, they were. transferred to the fsb and not only the fsb, in the first turn, the game of the Russian Federation, and there are a lot of interesting moments that we can now observe during these and these tragedies, namely, yes, iran certainly supports hamas, but some elements are tactical, they are exclusively russian, for example, iran does not have such Drone Control and usage experience drones against scales against heavy and medium armored vehicles, which we saw on october 78, and iran does not have such a powerful hacker group, army, let s even call it that, and not only to take down websites, main information platforms, bridges to which attacks are carried out on the police, police stations, military units, but the general security system, which is an integral part of sakalt, which was supposed to control the entire situation around the perimeter, and this was a hacker attack, a largescale cyber attack, iran does not have such an opportunity, and among other things, some of the terrorists, well, i cant even call them terrorists , because a terrorist is something more primitive, again, its a baboon with a grenade, and its more. There were trained units, so its more like on the saboteurs, and they were armed with ak103 Assault Rifles, just for understanding, the ak103 is an Assault Rifle that is not available even in the russian army en masse, in elite russian units, they are not available, it is an export, one of the last export Assault Rifles of russia , ak103 were in the elite units of the airborne troops, which in invaded the territory of ukraine in 2022, and who were supposed to march with these Assault Rifles in the christening day parade, and then these Assault Rifles disappeared altogether, they are gone, but they appeared in hamas, and many could appear, as they could with to appear at hamas, well, how could they appear at hamas, someone handed them over to them, lets not forget that israel is currently surrounded by unfriendly countries. But all these countries, they are friends with the Russian Federation, well, syria itself, for example, ah, lebanon, jordan and so on, and so on, so hamas could very well have received the appropriate cargo , from, well, just as hezbollah receives support from iran, so does hamas from iran, because weve seen all the videos, uh, where uh, hamas launches bdf drones towards israel, by the way, these drones are ababil2, an iranian reconnaissance drone, as it turned out. Hamas has its own supply routes for these hundreds of kilometers, although there is a difference, it is not just a reconnaissance drone, hamas removed its optics and installed a warhead, that is, it is a kamikaze drone, not a reconnaissance drone drone, and here is an example of how all these weapons and other devices could, other equipment could end up in the gas sector. Mr. Alexander, how much and at what intensity will you have enough weapons for hamas and those who support it, because we know that amid the fighting between israel and hamas, the United States is moving one of its carrier groups to the eastern mediterranean, which also washington is urgently providing jerusalem with additional equipment, ammunition, there are planes, but what resources do hamas and the surrounding coalition have in contrast him . Only a subversiveintelligence, terrorist, subversiveterrorist resource. Character, ah, you cant somehow draw a parallel in the capabilities, yes, although hamas will demonstrate, well, not exactly hamas, but they still demonstrated a high level, and, since october 7, conducting a hybrid operation of the sabotage type, but this, still still does not give them the opportunity to fully continue a largescale defense, even so i would say, even if. A nondefense war against such an adversary as israel, i. E. They signed a death sentence for themselves with these actions, they, like those suicide bombers, rushed to israel on october 7, jumped on israel, someone, someone prepared them for this, someone pushed them, but they had the resources to conduct longlasting military operations and also win in hamas does not have them, i will even say this, if we compare it with the other terrorist group hezbala, which is also supported by iran, then hezbala is a more militarized structure than hamas, hezbala has a completely different order and resources than hamas, so hamas, please saying, he is now, well, he is now doomed, and i want to get to the issues of supporting ukraine, whether something will change in this regard, polish president andrzej duda said that the attack of hamas militants on israel will contribute to russias fullscale aggression against ukraine, distract the worlds attention, or you do you agree with this, and can this attention, which has now shifted to the israeli side, contribute to, or somehow lead to the fact that assistance with weapons, and such support, military support for ukraine, will decrease or disappear . No, it is not support will disappear, by the way, recently joseph biden made a very interesting statement about 100 billion, we all heard it, yes, it is until 2025, but this is support for two years, which is actually, not that it is equal, in some positions, even exceeds the support we received in the 22nd and 23rd, so the support will not disappear. Another point, the russians can really use this informational excuse in order to shake up the issue of support for ukraine and the feasibility of allocation, allocation of funds for armaments, stockpiles, equipment, ammunition and so on and so forth another, and they are already trying to manipulate this issue, saying that israel received such a blow from hamas because it did not receive enough support. From the usa, while all the support was going to ukraine, they are already trying to drive this wedge into international relations, apart from everything else, they for some reason, well not for some reason, i understand why, they accuse ukraine of allegedly supplying it hamas is armed and doing a lot of fakes right now, supposedly to support this claim, that is, this campaign, it will continue, but the main thing is that at the very. high level , everyone understands very well who actually organized this attack on israel, who is guilty, who is behind it and who should bear the punishment, and how can it change at all, maybe the situation is already changing on in the middle east, we know that saudi arabia and the arab emirates there, they called on both sides
