00:00:22Zaporizhzhia, that's about 700,000 people, living
00:00:2625-30 km from the front line, it's...
00:00:30Daily attacks of aerial bombs, Shaheds, and
00:00:33recently, FPV drones. I am Yaroslav Krechko, this is
00:00:36Donbas Realia, and today we will tell you how much
00:00:39is flying towards the city, which, despite everything, tries to live
00:00:43a normal life. We will show Khortytsia Island
00:00:46and ponder what awaits Zaporizhzhia in
00:00:49the future.
00:00:56Maximum speed and concentration - that's the movement of everyone.
00:01:36We are going to the village of Lysagorka,
00:01:40we are going to the village of Lysagorka, on the way we met a car about half an hour
00:01:44ago, it probably got hit by an FPV, but we are moving on.
00:02:09You saw how at first, here on the roadside, you saw the drone, they were
00:02:13probably chasing all three of them, here, then over there, one finally
00:02:17hit the hood, but we stopped, we seem to be alive, we got all our things
00:02:20out,
00:02:29and so...
00:04:05part of Lysagorka is without power due to Russian attacks, despite this, there are quite a lot of
00:04:09people in the village and there is even a small
00:04:12market. I've been coming here like this, I've been coming here like this for about
00:04:15four months now by back roads, with glasses,
00:04:18with glasses like this, and what, people are coming
00:04:21a little, there is a little bit,
00:04:24there is a little bit, there is, whatever there is, well, I'm still
00:04:27going, how many times have they chased me.
00:04:42who else will bring such fish here, look, they don't bring us bread now, and why don't they bring it? Because the car
00:04:45was smashed, who will agree to drive through
00:04:49such conditions to bring bread to people? I bought
00:04:52water, I bought sweets, I bought
00:04:55water, I bought sweets, I bought what I needed, yes, that's all, but
00:04:59there's a little bit.
00:06:19The smell of burning is very often felt in Zaporizhzhia
00:06:21itself. Besides drones, the Russian army
00:06:25shells settlements to the south of the city several times a day
00:06:28with guided aerial bombs. During one
00:06:32of the recent attacks, soldiers of the 23rd Khortytsia Brigade
00:06:36rescued a pregnant
00:06:37woman.
00:08:4217:00 Shaheds and FPVs, 8 p.m.
00:08:46FPVs, 10 p.m. FPVs and
00:08:48IKABs. If in that year, if in that year
00:08:52the brigade destroyed about 800 air targets,
00:08:56then this year we have a different trend, we haven't
00:08:59destroyed less than a thousand per month yet. We had a brigade
00:09:02record, we destroyed 85 air targets in
00:09:0624 hours. They flew precisely in the direction of Zaporizhzhia, most
00:09:09of them were about 65 missiles, 10 FPVs. All the others
00:09:13were Shaheds, and at the same time, people, in principle, don't even know
00:09:16what quantity and mass of this enemy scrap metal actually flew
00:09:20to Zaporizhzhia. A very large number are destroyed, our
00:09:23brigade, directly all the defense forces that work in the general
00:09:27air defense system, are trying to ensure that no
00:09:31enemy weapons reach the city, but
00:09:35one must consider not only the quantity, but also that they are using new
00:09:38tactics, trying to launch a very large number at once.
00:10:12but that doesn't mean they're not there. One example of
00:10:16how unexpected danger can be is this
00:10:19strike on
00:10:20the minibus.
00:10:25it's falling now, holy moly, oh
00:10:28my god, a woman fell.
00:11:47He wasn't exactly chasing us, but it seems he was somewhere
00:11:50up high, he was probably waiting
00:11:54for what. Exactly, exactly for a minibus full of people, he was waiting,
00:11:57right? Well, fascists, what can I
00:12:00say, Hitler didn't do
00:12:03that, even though he was a brute, but this is even
00:12:06worse.
00:12:12We're driving through Zaporizhzhia, we're driving through
00:12:15Zaporizhzhia, you see how many cars there are and my gut feeling worked,
00:12:18my gut feeling, and not much, by
00:12:21the way, it's not that late hour, by the way.
00:12:25it's not that late, 8:30 in the evening, many
00:12:28cars in the city and somewhere there's an FPV.
00:12:41On the same day, a few hours earlier, a Russian drone reached
00:12:44the city center and struck a truck on Freedom
00:12:47Square.
00:13:01The drone threat has already forced the installation of
00:13:05nets in the city to protect against drones, with particular danger in
00:13:08the southeastern districts, despite this, public
00:13:11transport continues to operate.
00:13:35it hits, but you see,
00:13:38I'm used to it.
00:13:41Well, drones, they are such a nasty thing that you can't hear
00:13:44them, can't see them, yes,
00:13:47we run, we run, you can see, you fly,
00:13:51how many times did we drive past gas stations on these routes.
00:15:25I think that any ordinary person here has a pain threshold, and
00:15:29also any person has a safety threshold, a threshold
00:15:33of feeling safe, and of course, in any frontline
00:15:36city it... differs from the state of people in cities of central or western
00:15:40Ukraine. This applies to all frontline cities, starting from
00:15:44Kherson, ending with Sumy, including Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, and so
00:15:48on. Therefore, we live in a mode of 20 hours a day
00:15:51air raid alerts, we live in a mode where the enemy constantly
00:15:54tries to find our weak spots and launch another
00:15:58attack. But on the other hand, people here have homes,
00:16:01relatives, loved ones, their social circle, work,
00:16:05so there's nowhere much to go. Therefore, today we are
00:16:08adapting. On the one hand, we, as the authorities, are developing active
00:16:12defense, on the other hand, people are beginning to react more to
00:16:15air raid alerts and danger signals, so we are
00:16:19adapting to the challenges of the time. The new challenge
00:16:22is precisely FPVs, which cover ever greater
00:16:25distances and more often fly precisely towards
00:16:28the city. In August alone, soldiers of the 23rd Brigade
00:16:32shot down over 200 FPVs on the approaches to
00:16:35Zaporizhzhia. They.
00:16:42They work with a very large number of crews, they try to launch a very large number of missiles simultaneously, they use
00:16:46different tactics, they approach at high speeds, a group of FPVs approaches
00:16:49for a strike from different directions in order to
00:16:53create such a disorganization in our air defense
00:16:57system, but we study all these tactics,
00:17:00analyze them, and draw certain conclusions on
00:17:03the use of our means. The difficulty of intercepting FPVs lies
00:17:07in...
00:17:39children. The construction of underground kindergartens is also being completed.
00:17:42One of them is here, at a depth of 7 meters, 120
00:17:46children will be able to stay there.
00:17:59This is one of the large children's
00:18:01rooms where children will
00:18:04sleep, eat -
00:19:31almost the only combination in Ukraine of industrial landscape, historical
00:19:35landscape, natural landscape.
00:19:39To organically combine nature, history and industry in one place is almost
00:19:42impossible, here it succeeded. Behind me is
00:19:46DniproHES, another landmark of the Zaporizhzhia region, and behind
00:19:49DniproHES there were once rapids, these rocks are
00:19:53also geologically remnants of rapids, outcrops of the Ukrainian
00:19:56crystalline shield, which essentially gave our region its name.
00:20:00Zaporizhzhia region - the city of Zaporizhzhia and Zaporizhzhian
00:20:02Cossacks.
00:20:07Currently, archaeological excavations
00:20:10continue on Khortytsia. Russia's undermining of the Kakhovka
00:20:13HPP significantly lowered the water level in the Dnieper and opened
00:20:17researchers access to new artifacts.
00:20:31This is our Slavic, most likely, and it's pottery
00:20:34based.
00:21:50the goal is to get as close to Zaporizhzhia as possible, but
00:21:53at the moment, the plans of the Russian army are apparently
00:21:56blocked. The enemy constantly tries to conduct
00:22:00so. The enemy constantly tries to carry out its
00:22:03counterattacks, but the general plan for advancing precisely in the direction of
00:22:06Zaporizhzhia was broken precisely by our defense
00:22:10forces, some additional units that
00:22:13successfully carried out counterattacks were included in the process
00:22:16of our small, so-called counteroffensive. And
00:22:20now I can confidently say that the enemy has been repulsed,
00:22:23certainly on this day he does not yet dream of
00:22:26approaching Zaporizhzhia. As for our brigade, another
00:22:30of our main tasks is the preparation of the city of Zaporizhzhia
00:22:34for defense. We have now included all available
00:22:37resources, all forces and means, plus additional units
00:22:40have been connected in order to make the city of Zaporizhzhia
00:22:44an impregnable fortress for the enemy. And they
00:22:47see this, they understand this, they understand that...
00:23:21Zaporizhzhia has sheltered 200,000 displaced persons from
00:23:24occupied territories, people continue to arrive here from
00:23:28settlements located even closer to the front line. Despite
00:23:32the war, people in Zaporizhzhia work, relax, rejoice, and
00:23:35grieve, life is bubbling here, and to preserve it,
00:23:38the air defense factor is one of the main ones,
00:23:42because it's only 10 minutes' drive south of
00:23:45Zaporizhzhia, and life gradually
00:23:48fades. I am Yaroslav Krechko, this was
00:23:51Donbas Realia, see you soon.
00:24:08the grass was all gone here, sand is covering it from
00:24:11above, last year there was water, not much, but
00:24:15there was, this year, today we see
00:24:19that, but besides salt, we have nothing, the earth
00:24:22recovers, the grass will recover, you just need
00:24:25to give the earth a chance to rest, to
00:24:29recover.
00:24:36political persecution in my country has long become
00:24:40commonplace. commonplace.
00:24:44In the office there were two operational officers who
00:24:47beat him, in fact they...
00:25:23And doesn't that uncle understand, the one who throws rockets here,
00:25:27people are dying here, I say, I don't know you, I was very
00:25:30scared, little one, when it flew in and into the basement.
00:25:48What does exiting to the border of the Donetsk
00:25:51region mean for us? We will present this as a victory, well, let it not
00:25:54be an unconditional victory, but nevertheless a victory by points. Putin
00:25:58demands to seize Donbas by the end of this year. Such
00:26:02an order. Generals, according to sources of the agency "Vedomosti" in
00:26:05the Kremlin, he gave it a few days ago. By the end of the year,
00:26:09there is a high probability
00:26:11of complete control of the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk
00:26:14defensive area, well, that is, reaching the
00:26:18Donetsk, the Donetsk administrative
00:26:20border. Moscow has postponed the deadlines for seizing Donbas
00:26:24at least 15 times, according to the American Institute
00:26:28for the Study of War. No one knows the deadlines for reaching the borders.
00:27:02with the pace of the Russian army's offensive, it will not
00:27:06be possible to seize Donbas until 2032.
00:27:08The ideologues of this war understand what is at
00:27:11stake, there will be no victory, his story will be crossed out, and for now,
00:27:15there are no big victories in Ukraine, small and even
00:27:19fabricated ones are being used, Kozacha Lopan has been liberated,
00:27:22yesterday the city of Sviatohirsk. After such
00:27:26a statement by Putin, from the allegedly captured city, refutations
00:27:29poured in from Ukrainian military, local residents,
00:27:32and journalists, but the Kremlin media continues to claim that
00:27:36Sviatohirsk has been taken. The same thing happened with Kupiansk in the Kharkiv
00:27:40region. Among turbo-patriots, the concept of "flag planting"
00:27:43has long been common, a staged video recording of
00:27:46planting a flag in a city that has not yet been captured.
00:27:50Such victories lead only to an increase in
00:27:53already high losses of the Russian army. Some
00:27:56social media users sarcastically offer their
00:28:00peaceful plan for ending the war. They suggested
00:28:03an excellent idea for a successful end to the conflict, couldn't
00:28:07we, in autumn, in October, for example, announce the capture of
00:28:10Sloviansk and Kramatorsk and reaching the borders of the DPR.
00:28:13Z-patriots habitually blame the military for everything and exonerate
00:28:16Putin, saying that incompetent generals deceive him and make
00:28:20him a clown. Publicly criticizing the president,
00:28:24supporters of the war still do
00:28:26not dare.
00:28:29Your dog counts steps every day.
00:29:03You've been living in war for the fifth year, how? How will
00:29:06you show
00:29:08a destroyed city?
00:29:12The city is empty, everything
00:29:15that used to be familiar to you, noisy, also
00:29:18becomes
00:29:19empty.
00:29:27persons who are not directly participating in hostilities,
00:29:30including those persons from the armed forces who
00:29:34have laid down their arms, as well as those who have ceased to participate
00:29:38in hostilities due to illness,
00:29:41injury, detention or for any other reason,
00:29:45must under all circumstances receive humane treatment.
