They say that with forces of up to three battalions supported by tanks and armored vehicles, the russian army intensified its offensive in the area of avdiyivka, as well as the village of tonenko, to the west of it. Ceramics in the north, as well as pervomaisky, which is on the road to pisok. The zsu repulsed all attacks and did not allow the loss of front lines, it is said in the evening summary of the general staff. The head of the office of the president of ukraine, andriy yermak, published a photo of the national police, where he showed the consequences of the shelling of avdiyivka, he says that the city is under massive attacks by russian aircraft and artillery. The russian army is hitting residential buildings writes yermak in a telegram. The ministry of internal affairs says that the russian army. Carried out an air strike on avdiivka, and then covered the city with hail and artillery. Two people were injured, an Apartment Building was destroyed. The russian socalled military leaders write about the massive strikes on avdiivka and the plans of the russian army to sharpen it. Russian vgtrk reporter andriy yurudenko in his telegram channel compares the mass of strikes in avdiivka with the current one israel. The prokremlin telegram channel ridov also writes about the unprecedented attacks on the city. The American Institute for the study of war also notes that the Russian Media describe operations in the avdiyivka area as a significant offensive operation aimed at encircling ukrainian troops and capturing the city. However , analysts say it is one of the most heavily fortified frontline areas in donetsk oblast and will require more Russian Forces than those currently deployed by russia. The attack on avdiivka, as written in the report of the institute, the russian army seeks to withdraw the armed forces of ukraine. Developed in zaporozhye, in the area of which battles have been going on for a long time and it was reported about the advance of the defense forces. What is the situation in avdiivka and the surrounding area . , glory to the heroes, to mr. Vitaly, the first question, what is the situation in the city now, has the night passed, has the intensity of russian shelling decreased . A little yes, the night was more or less calm, there were some isolated chaotic shelling of the old part of the city. Part of the city, battles continued all night, both shooting battles, and artillery was working at positions around the city, to the north, to the south of the city, well, most likely they were just finishing off, as they say, what yesterday, climbed, drove, on our direction, maxim, a question for you, what is the scale of the offensive in this area, what weapons, what amount of weapons and forces russia use. Now and who is attacking, regular Russian Troops or militants of the socalled dpr, well, the number of equipment units is huge, according to some data, this is one of the largest attacks, and it is being fought, lets start with 30 units in the entire area, it is from the same may day and ends with ocheretyn ochovityan, the Russian Military is advancing, all the forces that are in the presence of the Occupation Forces are advancing. Mr. Vitaly, is there any information about the injured people, houses, infrastructural objects, possibly injured. What is the situation with this . Ah, at this time we have not received any information on the account of injured civilians, during the past day, two wounded , who were, then, a day earlier, two men, born in 67th, 77th, i hope so if this information remains, the number of victims, some infrastructure facilities, affected , then, well, to be honest, there is no way to even record all this, because there is a lot of destruction in the city, and in particular, from yesterday, today we will be in place, we will lets deal with this, lets drive around, see, record, maxim, i have a question for you, and what is the goal, do the Russian Forces really want to surround the Ukrainian Forces and capture the bridge. Does the russian side have the strength for this and is it possible, analysts admit that this is a plan to divert the attention of the armed forces of ukraine to avdiivka from other directions now, and this plan to target adiyko, it is already working, so to speak, it has been working all this time fullscale war, from the very beginning they tried to take the city headon, when they did not succeed, and they immediately started. plan of encirclement from the north and from the south entering large and small groups there through the village of optne and from the second region from the north through the krasnogorky mountains, so of course they did not abandon this plan and yesterday they tried to implement it with such mass attacks, and as for, so to speak, diverting attention from our offensive in the direction of zaporizhia, i think , it was absolutely wrong decision of theirs because this offensive, it, could not, their offensive, cannot divert our armed forces, our opolo forces from attacking in the reserve direction, so in this direction i think they were wrong, but regarding the encirclement of the city, it is quite readable, it is quite visible , the main goal was, precisely, to gain better lines, to advance as far as possible in their offensive potential, and of course, at the final stage, to cut the only roads that lead to avdiyvka and take it in a full ring, for the previous one, at this time we can already say that this plan has not yet succeeded, and thanks to the heroic and titanic work of our village, it will not succeed. And the general staff also reported that in the avdiiv direction they shot down an enemy fighter, su25, i understand, and about the losses, it is also a big one from the russian side . On the russian side, there are enough serious losses, and i will repeat once again, thanks to the heroic and titanic work of our village, the enemy suffered losses, both in life and also in the forces of equipment, units of equipment, the first such epic videos have already been made public, where he is losing not only there from the force confrontation with our defense forces, but also, lets say, in connection with the careless, careless management of its own technical units there, e. Maxim, but are the details known, as this fighter was destroyed, maybe you heard something . If you want to destroy, the question is for air defense. Mr. Vitaly, i want to ask you about the situation in the city, you say that you will continue to watch, but for now, do you predict whether it will be possible for people who want to leave the city to evacuate, or those people who stayed there, they such conditions will not leave, but the fact that for such, lets say. So active yesterday, well, there was an assault position there, yes, there were katsaps on avdiivka, yesterday we had no one, neither wounded nor dead, thank. God, most likely people just, you know, some instinct of selfpreservation was working in them, and they just didnt go out yesterday, i hope, frankly speaking, personally i and all my volunteers who help us with the evacuation are the same People Forces of the kyiv regiment, represented by maxim the commander, the police, our territories, representatives of the military, we work every day to convince people to evacuate, but you know, this instinct that i said, the very preservation will work in them and they after such events, which yesterday, well, it really happened that they will go a little more actively, they are going, but unfortunately, not as actively as we would like, for the past week a total of 11 people left, although this is a certain, lets say, a record for the last two three months, because people didnt go at all and didnt want to go to fight back, most of them in personal communication say that. They will go before winter, but we understand that already today, yesterday it was already minus at night, that is, already winter , and security, the component shows that it is better, well, it will not be, it is only getting worse, gentlemen, i thank you for participating and telling about the situation in avdiivka and the surrounding area, vitaly barabash, head of the avdiivka city military administration, maksym morozov, major of the ministry of internal affairs and a fighter of the freedom legion, were our guests, thank you, help. Ukraine with weapons for the next raimsteinmeeting , defense ministers or their envoys from fifty countries of the world are gathering today in brussels, on the agenda, traditionally, is military aid to ukraine and the satisfaction of its most urgent needs. Which countries have already announced their new contribution and why expect in general from todays confusion. Radio svoboda correspondent zoryana stepanenko will tell all the details. This is the 16th ramshtein in a row going against the background of another one. Of the war that broke out in the middle east, israel attracted the attention of all key partners of ukraine and recently pushed it out of the covers of worldrenowned international media. How the events in the middle east will affect the further support of ukraine is a question that is often addressed to officials of both the European Commission and nato. The day before, the head of the us mission to the alliance assured that she does not expect any problems in this regard she said that washington will continue to fulfill its longstanding security obligations towards israel. Promises to support ukraine as long as necessary will also be kept. The head of the pentagon will traditionally preside over todays ramstein, and there is a replacement in the command structure of the format, the place of general mark milley, who was recently retired with honors, is now both in office and at these meetings, respectively , occupied by general charles brown. For an experienced f16 pilot, and now a senior military officer us official, this rammstein debut. Fifty countries that provide military aid to ukraine will once again discuss what is needed and which of these needs can be met . The head of the us mission, however , told us the day before that air Defense Systems and ammunition are in constant focus. These sets of capabilities are still very important to the battle ukrainians are waging today. Pppo will also be critical during those winter months when we have seen the russians carry out indiscriminate attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure. We want to make sure that ukrainians will have this winter. Air defense equipment and that russias attempts to leave ukrainians in the dark and cold will not bring success. Another batch of military aid, which will protect the ukrainian sky, is allocated by germany. The day before , it announced a package worth 1 billion euros, which primarily includes air Defense Systems, patriot and airist about plans to provide them to the german government, they said earlier. Delivery dates are unknown. In the same package, there are 10 leopards, three cheetah selfpropelled guns, one and a half dozen. And they will be delivered to ukraine over the next few weeks. The German Ministry of defense reminded that their country is the worlds second largest donor of military aid to ukraine, surpassed only by the united states. Ukraines partners at various platforms emphasize that the support will continue as long as necessary, however, there are also signals that military aid cannot be unlimited, the minister of defense of italy told the local newspaper about this in particular the other day. Politically speaking, hviddok roseto noted, rome has always supported kyiv. In terms of military aid, he acted within the limits of the possible and will continue to the extent that this support does not deplete italys own defense reserves, from brussels, zoryan stepanenko, marek hajduk, rfe rl. With you svoboda ronok, we continue to talk about such topics as nato sharing information and will support allies in the case of the alleged intentional damage to the gas pipeline between finland and estonia. This was stated by the secretary general of the alliance jen stolteng after. Conversation, on sunday the Finnish Border guards reported the depressurization of the baltic connector underwater gas pipeline, which in the baltic sea between finland and estonia, and in helsinki they say that the damage is not due to natural phenomena, caused from the outside, the gas pipeline was closed for several months. The Russian Service of the bbc , citing its own anonymous sources, writes that helsinki suspects russia of damaging the gas pipeline, saying it is revenge for the countrys accession to nato, but no one has been officially blamed in finland yet. A preliminary assessment is that the damage could not have occurred as a result of normal use or pressure fluctuations. Quite. Likely that damage is the result of external activity. Finnish authorities have launched an investigation. Deliberate damage is also claimed in estonia. The three ministers of the country, Foreign Affairs, defense and the climate minister told the briefing that the damage was not seismic, but mechanical, and they also believe that it was not an explosion. Earlier, let me remind you, norwegian seismologists from the nongovernmental Research Institute norsar recorded signs of an explosion in the baltic sea near finland on the night the baltic connector gas pipeline was damaged. And thats it the company wrote about this in its own press release the day before. Investigations have also begun in estonia. Meanwhile , russia is involved in undermining the north stream Gas Pipelines. Polish services allegedly informed the German Federal government about this. The german newspaper tside writes about it. In particular , the article states that the poles allegedly recognized part of the crew of the sailing yacht andromeda, which, as previously reported by the prosecutors office, was of crucial importance during the attack on the gas pipeline, zeit writes. At least a few of the men on that yacht had russian citizenship. True, they showed bulgarian documents, which were obviously forged, the newspaper cites information from the polish border guard who inspected the yacht, and the captain of the boat introduced himself as mykhailo popov. Polish intelligence allegedly believes that these men are connected to Russian Military intelligence. However , the German Federal government is quite skeptical about such statements, zeit writes. Let me remind you that the Gas Pipelines, nord stream and nord stream2, were damaged in september of that year, a joint investigation by sweden, denmark and germany showed that they were blown up, and the usa and Great Britain also claimed that it was a targeted sabotage. In march of this year , the american newspaper the New York Times , citing anonymous american officials, wrote that the Gas Pipelines were blown up by a proukrainian sabotage group, but there is no proof. There is no involvement of the ukrainian authorities in this. Mykhailo podolyak, the adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, stated at the time that ukraine had nothing to do with the incident. Meanwhile, the russian authorities believe that the usa is interested in the accident and their allies. I would like to note that the nord stream1 gas pipeline was the main pipeline for the supply of russian gas to germany, from where it was already distributed by eu countries. And north stream2 was never put into operation due to a fullscale invasion. To ukraine, our broadcast is joined by mykhailo samuch , Deputy Director of the army, conversion and Disarmament Center for international affairs, i welcome you, mykhailo, i want to ask you right away about this incident on the underwater gas pipeline, the baltic connector between finland and estonia, in your opinion , to whom can be profitable undermining, damage, what goals are faced by those who caused it, well, in fact, we know who benefits, what destabilization of the chaotic situation , including on the gas market, and now we can even hope to see an increase in gas prices on the european market, which of course is not beneficial for the european economy and beneficial for russia in order to declare that you see , you got rid of dependence on russia, and now depend on any fluctuations, on transport on transport infrastructure or on political events of global and so on, that is, in principle, there are still several Gas Pipelines in the black sea, and i, for example, cannot rule out a situation where russia will begin to destroy these transport possibilities here, as regards gas supplies to the european market, just on the eve of the heating season, in order to raise, categorically or catastrophically raise prices on the gas market in thus putting pressure on europe, proving that stable operation of the Energy Market in europe and the economy in europe is impossible without russia. And can russia, by such actions, make europe in general will freeze, well, we remember that since last year there were various propaganda videos about the fact that without russia, europe will freeze, could this be on purpose, it is already too late, since after the last euro season. Created opportunities for diversification and now europe is not dependent on russian gas as much as it is, for example, this was the case two years ago, but after the last. Winter, of course, europe will never rely on the reliability of russian suppliers, here is the incident that we discussed, it happened on september 7, by the way the day of the attack on israel, and we can mention here the speech of biden, he said, when commenting on the situation in the middle east, that israel has the right to respond to the attacks of hamas, according to the rule of law, the intervention of any other country or organization in own interests, this conflict is unacceptable, we know that israel has announced a ground operation, they say that casualties among the palestinian civilian population cannot be avoided, 2 Million People in the gaza strip have nowhere to hide, there is no way to leave, in your opinion, israel go for it . I i think, yes, since it was the biggest attack, perhaps in the entire history of modern israel, it was an attack against the state of israel itself, and the existence of this situation is obvious. For the citizens of the state of israel, so i think that it is in the interest of israel to carry out an operation that for many years to come will eliminate the repetition of the same attacks, such a threat, especially since in fact, it can only be part of a plan, part of a plan to destroy , the state of israel as such, and therefore israel must act decisively, of course trying to avoid civilian casualties but its very difficult because the area is very compact and of course the terror just like the russian terrorists, for example they always hide behind the civilian population, that is they attacked and now they say they have reached their goals and are ready for negotiations, which negotiations are not clear, but what is clear is that they will hide behind the civilian population and try to create even greater grounds for, for example, the state. Israel is hated in the world, that is, it can be such a plan, just the same, and i would like to draw attention to what is happening on the russianukrainian front, that is, under the guise of the fact that the information agenda has now changed and everyone is interested in the situation in the zone, in israel , russia launched a largescale offensive, and this largescale offensive in the east, he was clearly preparing for more than one day. More than one week, that is, russia in any case knew about these actions of hamas, and therefore it can be said that russia, iran, supporting such terrorist attacks clearly define themselves in a global war, a global confrontation of democracy against tyranny, you mentioned that Russian Forces went on the offensive in the avdiivka area, and the analysts of the institute for the study of war write that the plan is to surround avdiivka and actually Ukrainian Forces in avdiivka. And the city itself, and perhaps such a plan in order to withdraw the forces of the armed forces from the south , where the Ukrainian Army is on the offensive, do you agree with this thesis, because the reinforcement of this thesis, there is information from general ternavskyi, he says that on in the taurian direction, Russian Forces have also become more active, do you think, could this really be the goal of the russian army . Well, in fact, the russian army is constantly trying to do this, after the failure back in march 22nd, russia is constantly trying to create conditions when it will pull Ukrainian Forces away from the directions where the Ukrainian Forces are advancing, that is why offensives or attempted offensives are constantly being carried out in various directions. Well, for example, when the ukrainian counteroffensive and the offensive in the south began, russia constantly tried to kupyansk direction to create conditions when the Ukrainian Forces will be forced to throw reserves from the bakhmut direction, from the south. Direction to the north, it was not possible, especially since in the kupyan direction also, literally, but last week there were attempts to attack, now attempts are also being made in the aldi region, of course, in addition to withdrawing the reserves, there is also a real task there, to break through the Ukrainian Defense and create conditions for their offensive, because in fact now the Ukrainian Forces are determining the initiative, the course of the war, the russians of course do not like it, for their part, they would like to break such and such a state of affairs and already manage where they will be, to advance, where ukraine will defend and where it will stand, and try to counterattack, that is, there were attempts in the kupyan direction, there were attempts, and powerful ones in the avda direction, now there are still heavy battles, battles, but judging by the statistics that he gives in the morning. General staff, russia failed, and with huge losses, failed to break through the Ukrainian Defenses, and this means that the Ukrainian Army will continue its offensive in the south, on in the direction of bahmud, countermeasures in the same, in the avdiiv direction are also not excluded, summing up our conversation and what is happening in israel, around israel, the countrys analysts have already named four reasons that prevented the army from the Israeli Security services from preventing an invasion hamas, it is the inability of the Israeli Secret Services to monitor the militants lines of communication, the excessive bet on electronics to monitor the situation on the border with the gaza strip, operationally. Error military command and trust in the conversations of the militants, which were listened to and the leaders of hamas there seemed to assure that there would be no attack, but from all this, what conclusions can the Ukrainian Army draw for itself . Well, in fact, all these reasons, of course, they are theoretical, because i do not believe, for example, that the Israeli Intelligence did not have its agency in the gaza sector, i do not believe that the information that they were preparing was with the Israeli Intelligence, because. In fact, as a rule, in professional qualitative intelligence information is always there, but sometimes there is a loss of communication between the intelligence services, because there is an Intelligence Community and a militaryPolitical Leadership, and if the militaryPolitical Leadership does not accept what the intelligence reports, situations occur when the appropriate orders are not given, the appropriate appropriate decisions are not made regarding preparation for responding to such a situation, therefore all this is a classic of the genre, lets say so, that is, intelligence must constantly do its job, but at the same time, the military and Political Leadership must to take Intelligence Data and reports very seriously, despite what it seems, and even someone somewhere heard from the military and Political Leadership that everything will be fine, and sometimes they also said that everything will be fine, in fact, you need to listen to your own intelligence and check this information, maybe a few more. Times, but be prepared for the most difficult decisions. I thank you for joining and for your analysis, mykhailo samoch, Deputy Director of the center for army, conversion and disarmament on international affairs, was a guest of svoboda ranok. There are good ones agreements on weapons , president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi said in an evening address following his visit to romania, where he met with the president , heads of the countrys parliament, as well as deputies and the prime minister. And here is zelensky. Says that he cannot reveal all the details of the meeting, but hinted that romania provided ukraine with projectiles and antiaircraft systems. In addition, a Pilot Training center for the f16 is being discussed in romania, and ukrainian pilots should be among the first to train there. Says zelensky. We will ask Rostyslav Khotyn , an International Viewer of Radio Liberty, about the details of this meeting and its results. He is already in touch with us. Rostyslav, congratulations, summarize zelskyis visit for our viewers. To romania, why was he important . Well, the visit is very important, because first of all, it was an exclusive visit, that is, it was not part of some european tour, zelensky stopped in bucharest, did he visit the region there, stopped by bucharest, no, no, the romanians appreciated very much that it was the exclusive visit of the president of ukraine to romania, the president of the belligerent country, the first visit during the fullscale invasion of russia. Further, er, romania is extremely important for ukraine, in particular the signatory. The ukrainianromanian declaration mentions bucharests support for the ukrainian peace formula, which , let me remind you, provides for the 100 restoration of ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity. Also, romania has been supplying weapons to ukraine since the first days of the war, and it is a member of ramstein, and a very active member of ramstein. Now the romanians will create a Training Center for ukrainian pilots in romania on the f16, which, i will remind you, should already be trained at the beginning of next year and the f16 should be in ukraine for ukraine. Counteroffensive, president zelensky also announced good news in terms of aid to romania and ukraine, with artillery, shells and air Defense Systems. Volodymyr zelenskyi, artillery and ppu, thank you very much for this. Im sure everyone in romania knows what a terrible threat to life is posed by russian terror, missiles and attack drones, especially iran. Shaheds, with which russia attacks our state, our odesa region, including cities and villages that located near the border of romania, against our people, our freedom, and above all , i want to thank you, we must do Everything Possible to prevent russia from turning any part of the black sea and the danube region into a dead zone for normal shipping. Let me remind you that romania
