In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01," the speaker discusses the high level of military activity along the Ukrainian-Russian border, which saw 98 battles between the end of last year and the beginning of this year. The Russian forces launched four rocket and 29 air attacks, as well as 49 artillery barrages, targeting both military positions and civilian areas in various regions, including Harkov, Donetsk, and Zaporizhia. The operational situation remains unchanged, with the enemy continuing to fortify their position along the border and conduct active hostilities by launching artillery and air attacks. The conflict is described as having a long-term character, with both sides building defensive structures. The Russian side aims to establish permanent positions and subsequently launch offensive attacks in the future. Despite this, the Ukrainian forces are not planning to attack enemy territory. The situation remains tense on the northern and Slobozhan directions, with ongoing operations by the Operational-Strategic Group of Ukrainian forces in the Hortitsa region, specifically on the Kupino direction, where the enemy is reportedly awaiting the arrival of frost to mobilize their tanks and armored vehicles.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01", the speaker discusses the military situation on the eastern front, specifically around Avdeevka, focusing on the liman and Bahmut directions. Despite a lull in fighting in some areas suggesting a possible repositioning of enemy forces, there has been a significant increase in activity on the liman front. The enemy has altered their attack vector towards Makieevka, Belogorovka, and Grigorov, targeting the southern flank of this area. On the Bahmut front, Ukrainian forces repelled nine enemy attacks, with the most intense fighting taking place around Ivanovsk, Kleshchev, and Andreevka. The enemy has made serious inroads near Kleshchev but has not been able to hold the ground. The line of contact between the two sides has remained unchanged over the past few days on both the liman and Bahmut fronts. The operational responsibility for this sector lies with the Tavria group of forces, and in the past day, there was a significant enemy attack on the northern flank of Avdeevka, with about 20 attacks recorded in this area around New Bachmuth, Stepnoye, and Avdeevka itself. One of these attacks resembled early attacks on Avdeevka and involved about 10 units of enemy armor attempting to advance and attack Ukrainian positions, but they were prevented from doing so with the help of artillery and FPV drones. A few units of enemy armor and infantry were reportedly withdrawn from the battlefield. The southern flank of Avdeevka, specifically the areas around Pervomaiska and Nevelska, is also seeing intense enemy activity, with the enemy focusing efforts around Novomikhailovka, Krasnyi Gorodok, Georgievka, and Mar'inka.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01 Очередной разгром войск рф под Авдеевкой. Башкиров просят вернуться с фронта домой," the speaker discusses the recent military activities between Russian and Ukrainian forces, focusing on the areas of Novomikhailovka and the Zaporizhzhia and Odessa directions. The Russian forces attempted to push through the Ukrainian defense lines in Novomikhailovka but were unsuccessful, and their attempts to expand their "gray zone" also failed. The front lines remain unchanged, with Ukrainian forces continuing to expand their control on the left bank of the Dnepr. In the Zaporizhzhia direction, the Russian forces exhibited limited offensive activity, and the Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled their attempts to advance. The speaker then transitions to discussing operations in the Odessa direction, where Ukrainian forces are expanding their control and the Russians are unsuccessfully attempting to drive them back. The speaker also mentions a recent attempt by the Russians to land a small marine infantry unit on an island in the area of Oleshki but fails, resulting in the unit's elimination by Ukrainian forces. Tragically, some Russian soldiers who did not die in the attack chose to commit suicide rather than face the cold and hunger. The speaker concludes by mentioning the presence of Russian warships, including one carrying cruise missiles, in the Black Sea, and the possibility of a new naval operation against Ukrainian forces.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01", the speaker discusses the recent military actions taken by Ukrainian forces against Russian troops, including the destruction of a Russian submarine and the killing of over 700 enemy personnel and 59 units of military equipment. The speaker also mentions the importance of Ukraine's counterintelligence and security services in preventing Russian infiltration and sabotage, particularly on Ukrainian territory. The forces have apparently dismantled many Russian spy networks and have recently intercepted attempts to send agents across the border to carry out diversionary tactics and attacks on infrastructure. The speaker explains that this has been an ongoing effort, as Russian attempts to infiltrate Ukrainian territory with agents continue. The Ukrainian security forces have reportedly made several successful arrests, including one individual who was attempting to plant GPS trackers on electrical transmission lines in Kyiv.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01 Another defeat for Russian forces under Avdeevka. Bas Bushkov asks to return home from the front," Ukrainian authorities caution about impending attacks on their energy infrastructure, specifically mentioning the role of the Mayak lighthouse in guiding missile strikes. Vasily Malyk, head of the counterintelligence department, emphasizes their department's work in preventing terrorist attacks and foiling 50 attempts to create terrorist groups and organizations in Ukraine. They have arrested and prosecuted 132 individuals involved in such activities. Regarding the geopolitical situation, Malyk highlights that Canada and the United States have taken the lead in signing the first safety guarantees agreement with Ukraine and that a meeting of world leaders for a peace forum is being planned, where the focus will be on complete Russian withdrawal from Ukrainian territory and the signing of documents to strengthen Ukraine's position within the first 90 years of internationally recognized borders. Switzerland has announced plans to provide one billion francs in aid for the rebuilding of Ukraine during the period from 2023 to 2026.

00:30:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01," the speaker discusses the destruction of two Russian military aircraft, an Il-2 and an A50, near Avdeevka in Ukraine. While there are conflicting reports about whether these aircraft were shot down or simply damaged and managed to land at an airport in Anna, Russia, the speaker notes that both aircraft played important roles in ensuring the safety of Russian military flights in occupied Ukrainian territory. The A50, in particular, was armed with computers and old Soviet technology, the condition of which is uncertain. With four of the six modernized A50s remaining, it is unknown if they can fully replace the one in use. The speaker also mentions that Poland and Romania have reached a preliminary agreement to end border blockades, allowing transportation to resume. However, if the Polish government does not sign a final agreement with the truckers, they may attempt to restart the blockades and protests.

00:35:00

In this section, it is mentioned that Germany will be providing Ukraine with over 7 billion euros in military assistance this year, including drones, armored vehicles, and ammunition. The United States also continues to provide financial, humanitarian, and military support. Additionally, Bulgaria's defense industry is working around the clock to supply weapons to Ukraine. France has promised to deliver 40 additional cruise missiles to Ukraine. The support from these countries highlights the ongoing assistance being provided to Ukraine, debunking any perceptions of being left alone in the conflict.

00:40:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01," the speaker discusses geopolitical developments in Europe. The European Union (EU) is reportedly close to reaching an agreement with Ukraine following French and Ukrainian guarantees of safety, and Hungary may face consequences for its anti-Semitic leader's actions. The EU is considering imposing sanctions, such as stripping Hungary of its voting rights, for the country's actions. Meanwhile, in other news, there have been protests in Bashkiria, Russia, regarding the unfair treatment of a local activist. The authorities employed heavy-handed police tactics to quell the protests, leading organizers to call on soldiers fighting in Ukraine to return home and deal with issues at home before continuing their military service abroad.

00:45:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01," the speaker discusses the destruction of a large chemical plant in the Russian Federation, specifically in Shahtinsky near the Ukrainian border. The plant, a polymethylene factory with an investment of 5 billion rubles, had only been operational for a few years before it was destroyed in a fire and explosion. Witnesses report that a mechanical failure occurred first, followed by a massive fire that essentially destroyed the facility. Additionally, the electrical control system for the nearby railway is affected, slowing down trains and increasing complexity in logistics. The opposition in the region describes the situation as chaotic, and the Russian opposition is mostly based outside of the Federation due to safety concerns. This situation has the potential to complicate logistics and affect the front line in Ukraine. The video also covers other military and political questions from viewers. One question asks if military pilots from partner countries can participate in the war against Russia on F16 planes if they sign a contract with Ukrainian armed forces. The answer is yes, but only if their countries allow it and the planes are available. The speaker also discusses the idea of bringing retired F16 pilots out of retirement to expedite the transfer of planes and train new pilots. However, the availability of planes is a significant issue.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01 Another defeat of Russian forces under Avdeevka. The Bashkir people ask to return home from the front," a commentator discusses the geopolitical implications of Russia's existence as a whole country and the potential West's intentions towards Russia. As stated a year ago, the commentator believes that Western powers aim to weaken Russia's military capabilities and possibly create a monitoring organization to control Russia's military and nuclear weapons. If Russia collapses, they fear the potential for new armed conflicts between the former parts of the Russian Federation. A possible scenario would involve a long-term disarmament program and the creation of an observation body within Russia to oversee demilitarization and limit the size of its military. This idea could be explored in the near future. Additionally, the commentator recaps a news story about the alleged beginning of war between Russia and NATO in Kaliningrad and dismisses it as yellow press and propaganda used for command-staff military training or war games. The commentator also clarifies that the Baltic Sea is now an internal sea for NATO and that the news about a war starting tomorrow is a fake, emphasizing that these reports are normal within military organizations as they adapt their training programs to political situations.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "17.01 Another defeat of RF forces under Avdeevka. Bashkov asks to return home from the front," a speaker discusses the potential closure of the Baltic Sea due to the deployment of NATO ships and the control of the airspace. If Kaliningrad, an Russian enclave, is completely surrounded, it could become a full-fledged anticlave with controlled cargo supplies. The speaker questions if Europe would benefit from continuously supporting Russia militarily and suggests that a swift end to the war with the rapid defeat of the Russian Federation could be an option. However, the speaker also raises the concern that Russia could respond with tactical nuclear weapons or sabotage of European atomic power plants, such as the Rovenskaya or the South Ukrainian one. The speaker also points out that no one can predict the direction of the wind, making any diversion on an atomic station unpredictable. The speaker then reminds the audience about the failed predictions regarding the direction of the wind when the Russian forces threatened to cause an accident at the Zaporizhzhia atomic power plant at the start of the war. Despite Russia's silence on the topic of nuclear weapons for over a year, the speaker emphasizes the importance of avoiding their use due to the potential catastrophic consequences for humanity.

01:00:00 - 01:15:00

In the "17.01" section of a YouTube video, the speaker discusses the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, expressing uncertainty about the future direction of the war and Russia's potential losses, drawing historical parallels. They touch upon disarmament agreements, like the OSV Agreement and the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, and the alleged transfer of tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus. The speaker criticizes official recruitment of foreign soldiers and encourages legislative reform to protect foreign investment. They also discuss historical instances of interference in Russia's affairs by international entities, arguing that foreign investors will continue to invest in Russia's economy despite its defeat in the war. The speaker concludes by discussing the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, particularly the Azov Sea incident, and encouraging viewers to support their channel for coverage on the defense of Ukraine.
