The russians went into an operational pause for the first time during a fullscale war, having 110,000 bayonets near this luhanskkupyan direction, they never had anything like that. Even when they were exhausted, they came to offensives on other sections of the front in the east in the summer of 2022, they were not stopped, and something will happen to me now, such an incredible result of a successful defense operation of the armed forces of ukraine. Well, then , lets talk about how we managed to exhaust it. Dmytro kukharchuk, the commander of the second , joins us of the assault battalion of the third separate assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine e. I congratulate you , mr. Dmytro. Well, actually your uhuh, with your efforts, one of these 72 separate motorized Rifle Brigades was liquidated uhuh in andriyivka area and, well, it is your connection that is being evaluated there under andriyivka. Yurii botusov recently wrote a post that this is a very good use of force. This is an example of such a reasonable confrontation and a reasonable liberation of the territory. Could you describe it in more detail . What, after all, was it different from what the russians did there . And how do you like it . Well, it all turned out in andriyivka, look, i will probably start counteroffensive actions from the very beginning. We started at the beginning of may, and even then we first broke 72 that is, they were completely drained of blood and completely deprived of their personnel, but the brigade continued to occupy the designated line of defense, that is, the brigade itself no longer existed as such, they were simply supplemented by other brigades with other units, i. E. During this time, we kindly tolerated the enemys 57th brigade 83 i would like to remind you that the second battalion of this brigade, with which we clashed, is considered to be putins fire brigade. Rf storm z, that is, this whole process was the process of saturating the 72nd brigade with units directly attached to it, which also suffered because they had a lot of forces, a lot of control, and all the time was almost lost. We went to andriyivka and three battalion commanders of this brigade were eliminated , the intelligence chief of the brigade , the communications chief of the brigade were eliminated, and many comments , the company is a question, sometimes we talk about we can see the liberation of the territory on the map of the deepstate push, the territory is being liberated, but i think that the complete destruction of the brigade itself is much more important, because creating a brigade is actually very, very difficult , i understand. Since we ourselves created a third separate assault brigade, i understand how it happens this process in this case, in this case, the destruction of the officer corps. I think that this is precisely the most Priority Task , because after the officer corps is gone and there will be no one to command those millions of russians who continue mobilizing in them is the question and their sensor continues to mobilize them. The troops continue to saturate to create some new units, but for this, management is needed, for this, an officer corps is needed, and to the great regret of the people, they see exclusively liberated National Points in order to liberate the Population Center for this must be done in any way in the release of landings , you know very often they say that it is a war for landings and in principle if you talk to the military, well, in our country it even comes to jokes to the point that this is my landing, i will fight for it, kill, die, do whatever i want, but i will not give up this landing, and in fact , the personnel has already equaled these landings because, well, we understand that a lot was done in these landings and there is a certain historical mission, these landings should also not be given away, but any war, in my opinion, is a war after all, not for occupied territory, the territory , then in the final case, simply occupy and for the destruction of personnel in this case we managed to destroy a very large number or that is, i will tell you there that in one day of the operation only we managed to destroy about 120 units of the enemys personnel, taking into account the officers and very, very many units of the enemys military equipment and much more. And this provides great opportunities for continuation of offensive actions since we now fully control the railway road and have opportunities for operational space for further mood when you say that the railways are controlled or on the road ot well, in principle, as far as i understand it the russians are sitting somewhere in the area of the railway road and this is for them such a boundary as if they are holding on and which allows them to hold there is there no contradiction here, that is, explain this opinion a little because it is so on the map it seems 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 use it, that is, trains there, in principle, did not run before that, the railway road can be used to ensure the logistics of the enemy, in addition, yes they are holding on to the railway road and the railway road is such a certain barrier that must be crossed, but in fact i am sure that in the future the offensive actions that are planned on such a scale are not by me, but directly by the leadership of khortytsi , solidarity date. I think that they will be successful because the enemy, a demoralized enemy, suffers huge losses, and i think that this opens up very great opportunities for us, mr. Dmytro, and then, as i understand it, the metal , actually, this railway line and the pincer, this is uh, well, the key point, is there some things that well, you can say that this is the key to the bakhmout, that is to cut off the russians from the opportunity to be in the bakhmout. So if you evaluated where there is this place that for us is the goal of these offensive actions, well, the key point as such, i think there is no, because for our how our soldiers, like us, in principle, and the enemy, he will cling to every meter of land , that is, it is important to maneuver correctly in order to simply cut them off as often as possible. You can go forward and fight for every piece of land for each landing can be simply surrounded and cut off, well, i cant tell you now about the complete plans of the command there, i am partially initiated into them, but everything looks quite optimistic, as far as i know , just a week ago, the russians were showing off that they could safely enter bakhmut and as if now, well, at least journalistic groups dont go there , propagandist ones. Is this true or not exactly true . If you were to evaluate how much more difficult it has become for them to work there now, look at our progress, where is the opportunity for us . To pull up our artillery. I clearly decide for them that this is a very difficult movement inside the settlement, therefore, of course , every such advance provides opportunities for fire damage to the enemy at a distance , that is, at a further distance. The direction of the ukrainian offensive in general would be yours in general, the donetsk direction in general could potentially be the direction of the ukrainian offensive. So that the donetsk direction, in principle, all of the donetsk and luhansk regions, they were considered and are considered by the enemy as the most priority direction from the very beginning, 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 to it and they will do everything in order not to hand over donetsk and luhansk regions, because their concept of the invasion was that they were supposedly liberating precisely the territories of donetsk and luhansk oblasts, therefore, to talk about the fact that progress is taking place here is simple well, in fact, it is not simple that it is progressing here and this is a more priority direction for them. And can it become a direction for further offensive . Will not be the only direction for the future mood, well, i will clarify this, but right now, uh , do you determine there, for example, that the Russian Forces will increase there, or on the contrary, they will decrease, well , that is, if it is so falsified during the course in the last few months, they have been increasing, that is, for them, it remains a politically important story. And it is very good in principle for us during the period. Yes , thank you. It was dmytro kukharchuk. In your direction this was the commander of the second assault battalion of the third separate labor assault brigade of the armed forces of ukraine from the direction of bakhmut, lets go for a short advertising break, and then well talk about others further south directions well, lets discuss other aspects of all this, so now the advertising on the espresso tv channel is not miss the new season of the Champions League on megogo cheer for shakhtar against porto and watch the super match bayernmanchester united on september 19 and 20 at 22 00 exclusively on megogo there is such a bad head with a headache, there are various reasons, but there is a solution combispasm and a normal head overcomes the pain and spasm skillfully combispasm there is a cough there are discounts on mukaltin 15 in pharmacies travel there and save the war continues and not only for the territory, it is also a war for the minds russia throws millions of naftodors to turn ukrainians into little russians ukraine will become russia dissection and analysis of information about ukraine by russian propagandists specific facts and methods by which hostile propaganda turns people into obedient zombielike residents of the ldr opposing it information attacks by russians in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga len tuesday, thursday, friday at 17 10 on the espresso tv channel , a collaborator is a person who knowingly cooperates with the occupation authorities to the detriment of their own country.

The summary of the week every saturday at 9 00 p. M. Is the most espresso. The war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians. Victories and losses. Analysis and forecasts. Politics and geopolitics Serhiy Rudenko and the guests of his program will talk about all this people who have information and shape Public Opinion people who defend ukraine and create the future right now the main and interesting thing in the program is the verdict by Serhii Rudenko from monday to friday at 20 00, repeat at 12 00 10 well, before the commercial break, we spoke with dmytro kuharchuk, this is exactly the experience of the third separate assault brigade, which is very actively advancing in the direction of bakhmut, and is actually having success. Lets keep talking, lets see. Well, for a certain long time, different monolithic westerners were especially talking about the fact that it is wrong to focus on several directions, we should only focus on the southern direction , but what do we actually have when this situation appeared, when, after all, we we have success under bakhmut, and there the russians are forced to keep their forces. That is, why what have we achieved . In this way, actually , not slowing down and not, well, if not stopping, the following bakhmut direction if you convey the essence, then you know exactly. Lets say this by conducting active actions in the direction of bakhmut, well, consider that the command of the Defense Forces 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. In a direction along 60 km , well, even approximately 110,000 bayonets in the enemys bayonets on the kupyan metallurgical lines along the 200km line of the 200km front line, who are standing there, in fact, this is already very significant results and instead of there, dear western analysts, instead of musing, 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 is opening before them, which could include this textbook of the gard leader on asymmetric strategy well, because if there, going from the reverse, it is permissible for the armed forces of ukraine to come to the assault march in the bakhmut direction and do approximately everything as they write there, such gentlemen did hoffen, why are they taking the personnel of the external third of the assault brigade, they are preparing there, they are retraining on western equipment and preparing for the offensive in the south, the mobilized brigades are going to the east, just to hold back the russians. Well, it turns out that they would have at least 100 , maybe all 150,000 bayonets if they could just then transfer it to the south immediately and it would not be the same situation there, look how exhausted they are, that they have to take connections from other important areas there in such a fire mode, and they could transfer them to in accordance with the plan, our gains in the south could turn out to be well, if you look there, of course, from the point of view of evaluating these, well , knowing everything about the western ana, we could turn out to be even less gains than now, plus, after all , taking into account the fact that here we are talking about not not only about territorial possessions. Perhaps even in the first place it was about the maximum elimination of the potential of the army of the Russian Federation with the fact that it is preparing for a new kind of mobilization. So, in the same place, hmm, all the mobilized people need well, its not enough just to recruit them, you need at least a person who could be an informal leader, that is, to lead them in battle or to combine the role of informal and formal leader, or simply there will be such an administrator who is there well its okay if he doesnt beat with a sledgehammer well, but the previous speaker uses approximately the same repressive methods when he talked about what was happening there in the russian officer corps. Obviously, this is exactly what he meant, that is, the russians are starting to lack people who could to literally control the troops in any sense, so if too. By the way, develop this thesis about the defeat of the 72nd metal Rifle Brigade and this defeat of the 31st airborne brigade. Which two of them are Airborne Assault, two of them are airborne, the difference in the number of heavy weapons that they should have, according to the state, but they still have four airborne brigades , just on the basis of which they also planned to deploy divisions around that to the mechanics that i wrote out and mr. Kuharchuk, that is, to simply take the personnel that remained and build them. So we are mobilized there, the same storm troopers or some other mobilized units, that is, the 31st ee amphibious brigade, which was defeated there under the bakhmut according to rightwing statements , the russian propagandists should have been deployed by the end of the year in the fourth amphibious assault. There, too, they are interested in a nuance, this is the same brigade in the winter of last year, that is, it could be called, by god, mobilized, but these were just the best of the mobilized ones. Obviously, i am not the personnel core of this brigade, it took a very long time to train. There, in belarus, there are still such specific nuances that 72 and we need the Rifle Brigade, which is the socalled army, well, the reserve, which went to the kupyansk lymanska directions, they were formed in the Central Military district of the russians, segmentation there into military districts , even in terms of managing the occupation troops in ukraine, it is happening, that is, the military district here rather acts as a territorial military body there. And tell me about the club on the internet by interests or factions. Well, it turns out that there is a faction called the Central Military eye, now in the person of the 72nd, we will destroy this brigade minus a very significant number of officers. Well, something from this 25th army, which, according to the boldest russian statements, has only one motorized rifle division, one tank brigade , one motorized Rifle Brigade at that time our walls of our general staff were supposed to be a division, two Rifle Brigades and one tank. Well, with them too, this is what happens in a very specific way, so the level of success of our military during the battle for bakhmut, in particular, in terms of attrition of the russian troops, can be talked about for a very long time and there even such a symmetrical result is obtained, although on paper they still have a lot of uh troops there , that is, there are some groups there, well, a mass of manpower that can be thrown into battle, but this is not an organized army on the basis of which you can to deploy additional organisms such and such intestinal and then to plan some effective offensive actions for the winter of this year, well, in other words, the conclusion can be said that even this company , if you look locally, the bakhmut ee caused the fact that the russians simply lost some certain potential opportunities that they had except the fact that they were unable to apply these forces to well, for example, in the south well, yes , look at another such direction, which is also, well , interesting from this plan, it is actually this lyman in kupyansky, because it was literally there yesterday appeared today and yesterday, there was an opinion voiced by representatives of our general staff that actually the russian offensive actually stopped at the estuary on the line from lyman to kupyansk and there the russians managed to advance 1 or 2 km in some places, but at the same time hmm they didnt manage to capture anything. I mean, first of all, secondly , what is it . Actually, they stopped there because they were quite strong under the new horsetail. Yes , they are exactly like that. Whole piece where simply russian equipment is packed so very densely, er, there is such a er, such a beautiful place, well, in our country it is not visible so directly , it is clearly visible itself, where the new horivka is, but the fact is that there they tried to storm there with tanks and something else, thats all it turned out to be so long, good, very muddy, and here a question arises, this stoppage obviously cannot be said that it is a complete stoppage there or Something Like that, but still they continue some activity there, after all , the artillery aviation continues there too the shelling is even more there if you look. They are also going to the northern part because they are among the bryansk forestry, but what we have is some kind of respite from reformatting or is it really all exhaustion . What is it that we have now . How can you describe this situation . This is the term operational pause for you. Well, because well, there is simply, well, to say a general term of rest, a pause does not have to be an operational pause, it is when there are some offensive groups of the enemys troops, well, or maybe ours can take it. Grouping the enemys troops can take a certain pause to restore strength, to adjust their sailing , to possibly pull up new reserves, and there, you know, to plan some nonassault actions. Yansk, well, sometimes i think that it seems to be an important logistics hub, but in fact, simply destroying only our civilians with the latest highprecision weapons, well, they found and destroyed them there for a moment, after all, but still, the wind was forced take away as far as i know there is one or even two such military associations, as far as i understand the Central Military district, because there, by the way, i spoke about this time the Central Military district as such a club based on interests. Well, because there is something strange about them there well, plus, the 76th Airborne Assault division welcomes you. Well, it went there to the south much earlier than the British Ministry of defense announced the transfer of 10,000 russian paratroopers, that is, they can prepare for the renewal of assault operations. Even if it will be well, it will be about as fruitless as we observed a few weeks before they passed the operational pause, well, that is, to transfer these additional units, the assault z, to start trying to push our positions there again with cannon fodder , almost like in the style of bachmouth last winter. Well , but well , they lost the moments for some effective and successful offensive actions in the first weeks. Well, its still possible to attack in the summer, when it was still possible. Three villages ended up in the entire zone. Well, its just real. Its just a phenomenon. Its just a basrelief phenomenon. You know, the russians there were forced to clear customs , even if there were some reports that something was wrong with us. Why dont we destroy , for example, russian tanks near novaya the mountains that are at the crossing, but simply if you think logically , if we had significant power , then the russians would have been shot long ago before the end of the borders of the 91st year, but the use of oldfashioned cassette warheads there, the construction of tactical, competent defense there, even russian propagandists wondered if someone here was too much like the nazis of the general staff and, as it were, had to transfer the 14th 88th, well, the formed mechanized brigades, we cannot say whether this is true, but the fact that the russians are on the brink of failure for their the kupyan direction even had such an effect , in principle, it is possible to record well, in fact, the russians, of course, were waiting for the transfer of Larger Forces there, they were there for that and started all these actions in order for there to be certain forces transferred from the southern direction, it cannot be said that it was not enough to transfer oxygen, but we also had to transfer additional our forces, but not at all to the extent that the russians hoped for, they actually hoped for the deployment of our reserves, this did not happen, but if we still move to the south and look at what is happening right now, the russians have thrown over 10,000 paratroopers from additional forces, but against the background of all this, we saw, for example , literally in such formal hysteria, one of the there are such russian generals in rulovov. Which well, he is retired, but he follows the very life and existence of those. Well, he once commanded the 58th. That in the confession he began to say that well, they are literally lying about the line of collision of the real, they do not give the data that is in fact, well, that is, and from this we can conclude that Something Like that is happening there about what the russians are very, very worried about you have literally two minutes about that the russians is very, very worried in the south, can you explain from your side the systemic crisis along the entire front line and they are already starting to regret building a line that it is not the nazis who are defeating them, it is just the 14th and 88th brigades near kupyansk, this is not stretching our reserves , but nevertheless well, what do they know from the rubric, which of us are nazis . Well, if the russians here, we know honor better, simply put, there can be two options from them, either they are thus simply preparing society for the alternation of a simple decision to announce a largescale mobilization, or they still fail this primal crisis along the entire front line, not only the south, but also there, bakhmut kupyanskyi limanskyi direction with which they will not be able to get out, and this will once again emphasize the successes of the armed forces in this company, precisely the depletion of russian resources. Well, in principle, if necessary, everything after all, the second option is that the russians will simply scream how the neonazis have defeated them here. I think that this will satisfy everything in our country, regardless of what they will say about the numbering of our brigades. No, they will not give up on the idea of holding some kind of mobilization or Something Like that im not sure, well, that is, for politics, taking into account that politically , putins elections in march to march, they will still try to make some offensive attempts and demonstrate something that can be presented at least as political successes, that is, there is no need to be a bet here is more about the fact that it was not done by private military companies , i. E. Pvt. The russians can go another way and we will send someone more decent there. That is, there may be such a doctrinal moment , uh, what if we still go the way of mobilization , go through the way of wagnerization, thats how it is. Well, and throwing as much as possible, try to find additional weapons to at least have the opportunity there anyway, well, at least drop some more bombs of the same fabs in the end thank you, it was Ivan Kyrychevskyi , we have news next, so uh. Continue to be with us. Together and watch, we have a lot more interesting things. Greetings to all viewers, espresso, this is the news with you to the youth melnyk and together with the team i will tell you about the most important events at the moment the number of victims increased to eight as a result of the russian attack on pokupyansk in kharkiv region, the bodies of two more dead civilian men were found
