These are seconds before our broadcast Ivan Shevtsov joins, this is the head of the press service of the steel border assault brigade. Lieutenant colonel i welcome you. Glory to ukraine. Glory to heroes. Thank you for finding the opportunity and time to join. Please tell us what. Is the operational situation in the kupyansk direction now and, if you can, give more details about the situation near the settlements of senkivka and ivanivka, what changes are possible there in the last day, now the units of the steel border as part of the Defense Forces are holding defense in the east of ukraine and some of our units are located precisely in the kupinsky direction, the situation here is quite tense, but controlled , indeed, during the past day on. Units of the Defense Forces repelled more than 30 enemy attacks, and i really confirm that in the direction of ivanovka, senkivka, as well as from the makivskyi direction , the enemy intensified his offensives, the enemy intensified his assault actions, and now he is carrying out socalled meat assaults, that is, sparing no personnel, no sparing equipment, the enemy goes on the assault, but not a single scrap, not a single centimeter of our land. We we did not give it away and hold it tight defense but these meat assaults, how many Russian Forces actually use people, involve them in these meat assaults, for example, one that is happening. For example, there are 50 to 100 men who are trying to break through the defenses, but they do not succeed, in addition, they use equipment that also burns, unfortunately, on our occupied land, but it is very good that it s on fire, mr. Ivan, well talk about the technology later, but the telegram channels of the same name spread a lot of information about whats happening actually and in the eastern direction, and in particular the awakened ones, the fact that certain. Positions, such positions were lost by the armed forces of ukraine, but in this context, what should be understood, how can you comment or ask for information specifically in the kupyan direction, i can answer only for these positions, which are in e, as part of the steel border, as part of the border guard unit, we have not lost any positions, those positions that we have taken, on which we hold the defense, we hold the defense on them, as for other positions, i cant answer here, but i have there is no such information, please tell me more, the heavy equipment that the Russian Forces are transferring are tanks, thats right, what is known about this weapon, it is old, modern, improved, maybe there was already an opportunity to deal with them, in fact, the weapon is in the russian the federation is diverse, they are already exhausting their reserves and using everything they have, along with the latest equipment they use old tanks. There is the 64th year of production and old equipment, so everything they have, they are now intensifying their assault actions in this direction and using everything they have, but regarding the wagnerites in this direction, perhaps your units have already had the opportunity to deal with them now, after all, they have not yet been involved either in these meat assaults, or in the actual confrontation with your subdivision in the areas where you are, if we are talking about the kupinsky direction. Here, well, our Border Guards did not have such an opportunity to capture any of the wagnerites, but we have reliable information that in addition to stormz and storm units, they also use units of the combat army reserve bars, also opposite our units is the first tank army, the 25th army of the Russian Federation, it is quite large. The number of personnel, only there 25 army is about 25,000 personnel, but taking into account how the russian army transfers its own reinforcements to this direction, taking into account the fact that heavy equipment is additionally transported, what are the chances of the forces of the Russian Federation occupying kup if we can talk about it, and in this context, why is the oskil river so important to them . They want to reach the uskkil river now while the weather is still good conditions, while the equipment can pass, but well, to the river to the left bank of the oskil river, and it is kupyansk and kupyansk that are the nodal important destinations for them due to the fact that there is a Railway Junction there, and these are strategic objects for them, but today is not february 24 last year, we were prepared in these directions, we had a lot of time to equip explosive mines. Barriers and an antitank ditch, and the personnel to date already has a lot of experience in combat operations, these are not firstclassmen, they are already real combat soldiers who can hold the defense and go in assaults and vacate the occupied territory. Mr. Ivan, but regarding what may be missing, we understand and the military has repeatedly stated on our air that a fullscale russianukrainian war is also a war with drones, including what is the actual situation with security, it is said there about the military equipment, about the newest means with which the war is currently being waged, in particular your unit and the armed forces of ukraine as a whole in this direction, is everything enough, or are there possibly any questions in the context software . I would say that there is enough in principle of everything, but this is war , there is never too much, the more weapons we have, the more equipment we have, the better. What is very, very, very important in the war today is aerial reconnaissance and the use of fpv drones in general, and i would like to appeal to the local, to the local selfgovernment bodies, which are currently arranging and spending a lot of money on all kinds of paving stones, on the arrangement of gyms, sports facilities better this money to really invest in fpv drones, one fpv drone, the ones we buy, costs approximately uah 15,000, there are 1415, but, yes. Thanks to this drone, we destroy enemy targets at a Long Distance of up to 10 km, without exposing the personnel to danger, but, for example, in the past day, our aerial Reconnaissance Unit destroyed another complex with a wall, as well as two trucks that were delivering food or ammunition on enemy positions, so it is better to invest money in drones, in ammunition and to help the army. One more question on conclusion, short, how often now you, your unit are approached by civilians in this direction with a request to help them evacuate or with certain questions about help, well , citizens do not contact our unit, as far as i know, from the left bank of the oskil river, citizens were evacuated, local selfgovernment bodies, as well as units of the national police, are dealing with this issue. Thank you sir. Ivan, take care of yourself, Ivan Shevtsov, head of the press service of the steel border assault brigade, lieutenant colonel, our guest broadcast, we talked about the situation in the kupyansk direction, it is difficult, and the Russian Forces are transferring reinforcements there, as stated in the Eastern Grouping of the armed forces of ukraine.

Despite the worsening weather conditions, the new chairman of the us joint chiefs of staff, general charles brown, announced this. It was his debut participation in the ramstein format after appointment. I think that after listening this morning, as well as listening to all the contributions of each country today, i feel that we are putting ukraine in a good position. I understand that it becomes more difficult in the winter months, but ukraine intends to continue its offensive operations. During the winter months, and i believe, based on what i heard today from each of the countries, that we are doing everything right for their success. The general assured that the joint committee of chiefs headquarters under his leadership will continue to work on providing ukraine with the necessary assistance.

Mr. Oleksandr, according to the results of ramstein, the main news for ukraine is that the United States will lead a coalition of ukraine that will help ukraine develop its own air force, somehow strengthen it, or after all, these are the aid packages worth almost half a billion, which the ukrainian minister of defense says about. Which ones you can draw the main conclusions for yourself, and neither one nor the other, in fact, the main thing is what happened , because both that and the other is what, in principle, ramstein was created for, and here nothing else should have been expected, except for packages help, in addition to words of support, in addition to the discussion of what has already been done , but now, the most important thing, in my opinion, and what i would prioritize, is the discussion of plans for the medium term, that is, the ramstein format is gradually moving.
