already 100, sorry, 14 00 was added, and it also helps to save lives, from the lives of our troops on the front lines. well, now a moment of silence. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

one of the questions this morning is whether the parliament is really sabotaging the uocp ban, or whether the servant of the people faction is really trying to disrupt this vote. we are talking about the front. commander-in-chief syrsky gave a list of... what the army needs today, why this is not enough, why the army of the russian federation continues to advance. elections in the usa, kamela harris's rating of donald trump has practically leveled off. which of the candidates can give impetus to more aid to ukraine. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha and we are starting, join us. we begin with the events at the front. the russian army continues to advance in the direction of pokrovsk in donetsk region, despite the large. and losses,

the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine oleksandr syrskyi said in his telegram the day before. about the fact that the forces of the russian federation are trying to advance on in this direction in order to cut the vitally important pokrovsk-kostyantynivka highway, spokesman osuf hortesya nazar voloshyn also reported earlier. but according to the analytical project deep state, the russian army managed to capture the settlement of prozhez, which is in this direction. however, the general staff of the armed forces did not report the loss of this village. reported the report, which was made public on the evening of july 22, states in particular that the russian forces tried to break through the ukrainian defenses. the russian ministry of defense did not report on the capture of the village of progress either, but their report notes that that the russian army managed to improve its tactical positions in this direction. the russian army does not stop trying to storm the city of toretsk in the donetsk region, both with artillery and aircraft. the staff was completely destroyed. of the city

was published by the 32nd separate mechanized brigade, they show that there are practically no surviving buildings left in the city. russian troops are trying to advance to the city from two directions, from the east, advancing through the settlements of zalizne and north, and from the south side from the area of ​​the settlement of new york. to our broadcast mykhailo zhirukhov, a military observer, joined. mr. mykhailo, welcome to our broadcast, thank you for joining. good morning. why has ukraine lost progress and continues to lose settlements? what's going on? well, as for the progress, there is again the same story as in the reeds, there are some problems with the command, some problems with the extent to which the troops are controlled, but let the officials talk about this, and the information i have, that's it. .. let's say so,

unofficially. russians advance due to the fact that they have a huge advantage in personnel, because battles in the city, battles in populated areas, are first of all infantry battles, it is not so much an artillery war, not so much a drone war, as much as an advance of infantry, and the main thing is that it is an advance, when you are not at all.. . do not count your losses, our military command still counts losses, and therefore, when such circumstances arise that the losses can be quite large, decisions are always made to withdraw to other positions, and thus it turns out that the russian let the army be somewhere there slowly, but it is still pressing, and the same is observed, if the human resource is not counted there, as you say, is it observed that... something with ammunition, well, it may not be

a shortage, but still a limited resource in this sense, or with the russian army has no obvious problems with this, the russian... army has problems, they have now put into service, for example, post-war, post -45th year guns, these are 130 millimeter m-46s, but in general their number prevails, the quality of our artillery and our gunners, she better, but they simply press with numbers, as is the standard tactic of the second world war, there is zhukov and... soviet generals, when you cannot defeat the enemy qualitatively, defeat him quantitatively. commander-in-chief syrsky published a post and named the things that are needed at the front to stop the enemy, who is superior in numbers, as he noted, and this is the fire damage

of the enemy's forces and his reserves, both on long and close approaches, this is fortification, everything is possible weapons, drones, slaves, as if nothing new, he also says with his head, but why is this nothing new, as if it were a familiar weapon, so to speak, which is used, which we hear about, one way or another, why is it not enough, or partners do not give it enough, or really the pace the wars are such that no one can make this amount sufficient, unfortunately, it turned out that the western aid, it does not scale, as of now, the american aid, the one that was promised, is about 15%. only transferred to ukraine, the situation in europe is still, well, the situation there is very bad, because almost everyone warehouses, they are already exhausted, and in fact we are working on wheels, europeans are buying shells somewhere outside the european union,

they have already handed over all the weapons that could be handed over, and now what is being said is money for new orders, but we ... we understand that the production of projectiles, the production of armored vehicles is slow, and much of what was promised will come only by the end of the year, or even in 2025. syrskyi also wrote about the high-quality training of all categories of servicemen to perform combat tasks, if he writes about it, then with the problems that are being observed with this, that you know what information you have, and if it's a problem with the training of... officers to use these different types of weapons, then who can fix this problem and how? and problems with educational centers, we had them even before the full-scale invasion, now with a large-scale mobilization, they have only worsened, each educational center is

such a different universe, some educational centers have many high-quality instructors, others, well... let's say yes, poor training, besides, we just don't have enough of them training centers, training in the west, training on the territory of allies, it is very expensive and eats up, well, about a third of the money that is given to us as military aid, so this problem remains, the problem of retaining instructors. in positions, the problem of scaling educational processes, the problem of updating educational programs, with the experience that has already been for two, for almost almost 2.5 years, so there are a lot of problems, i

think they are being solved, but well, quite slowly, considering the fact that the army after all remains with a large part of such... soviet, soviet system. we understand that there are many challenges facing the armed forces of ukraine today, whether in this matter, the training of training centers can be helped by ukraine's western partner, some countries that can provide these sites. we also heard promises, talks about it, and as if there are plans to develop this direction of cooperation, can it be such a key decision in this area? well, unfortunately, it can’t, because the western allies in the last... 30 years had no combat experience, they only had experience peacekeeping operations, and this experience for us, well, it is not important, it is an important experience that our military has already received, so the main task is the formation

of such an instructor asset and how to keep them in the training centers of these fighters, who have a certain under.. . cooking, certain experience, and to keep them and to be able to pass on this experience. you said that weapons from partners can arrive in full by the end of the year. and promised, the mobilization is now ongoing, it has not stopped, the training of new brigades is ongoing, they are being recruited, or can the armed forces of ukraine prepare an offensive, for example, there at the end of the year, in the fall, or next year? as a rule, such strategic operations are not planned for autumn and winter, they are not planned, as a rule, because of problems with logistics, other problems, but in general, i would not talk now... about any offensive operations, our task now at least to go into a blind

defense, as we see in the donetsk direction, unfortunately, it is not possible yet, we are losing one settlement after another, and for now, where will the enemy stop, where will we be able to to stop, well, it is not yet clear, the task of the armed forces to enter the blind defense, says mykhailo zhirikhov, thank you, mr. mykhailo, for joining our broadcast, the military observer was a guest from... freedom of the morning, and you can write your own in the comments questions for the next inclusions when we discuss the situation at the front. thank you. next, we will talk about the elections in the united states of america, in a country that is strategic to ukraine in partnership, in aid, including in the military. and again, in the comments you can ponder, write your thoughts, which of the candidates from the democrats or from the republicans, in your opinion, and is there more? prone to help and proactive help for ukraine in the russo-ukrainian war. joe

biden's accomplishments over the past three years are unparalleled in modern history. in one term, he has already exceeded the legacy of most presidents who served even two terms. this is vice president kamela harris' first public statement since president biden withdrew from the election race. in a day, haris already set a record, she also managed to collect 81. million dollars for his election campaign, the hill writes about this with reference to a statement from the team of garis herself. the associated press writes that the vice president has officially crossed the threshold for the democratic party's presidential nomination, having received the support of more than 2,500 delegates. in addition, the candidate for the presidency of the united states, kamela garis, can be nominated earlier than the planned time. the new york times writes that the democratic party will choose its presidential candidate. usa by august 7 through online voting, but no official date yet

appointed therefore, the congress of democrats, which should begin on august 19 in chicago, may have a purely ceremonial nature. meanwhile , the western media publishes the results of polls on the support of the american candidate for president donald trump and vice president kamela harris, and there is no significant difference, cnn reports. moreover, the rating of politicians is almost the same. trump with... won the support of 48% of those polled, while gary had 47%, and the hill reported that kamela harris was only 2% behind, this poll was conducted on june 28 through july 18, all polls were conducted after the cnn presidential debate in june and only one after the july 13 assassination attempt on trump. like the president of the united states, joe biden, vice president kamela harris is a consistent pri'.

politiko reports that ukraine will provide assistance to ukraine in its defense against russian aggression, and it will likely continue its current policy on the issue of the russian-ukrainian war. harris made history as the first black woman to serve as vice president of the united states, a former california attorney general and senator harris had nearly four years to make a name for herself on the national and even international stage. colleagues will tell all the details in the next story. for his career. garis has several historical achievements. for example, when joe biden became president in 2021, harry became the first woman to serve as vice president of the united states and the first person of african and asian descent to hold the position. harry mentioned this in her victory speech in november 2020. although i am the first woman in this position, i will not be the last. biden instructed kamala harris to deal with the migration crisis on the southern border of the united states. many believe that

there is no solution to this crisis. harris's work on migration also did not bring significant success. but later she got the opportunity to strengthen her foreign policy authority. in particular, in june, she represented the united states at the ukrainian peace summit in switzerland. for america, supporting ukraine is not a benefactor. it is in our strategic interests we support delegations from more than 90 countries that are also strategically interested in establishing a just peace in ukraine. kamala harisna. born in 1964 to a family of immigrants from india and jamaica, she studied law and began working as a prosecutor in her home state of california, later becoming the state's attorney general. throughout her legal career, she was seen as tough on crime, drawing criticism from some fellow democrats who

argued she was not doing enough to combat police brutality and racial profiling. injustice later. harris has strongly advocated for justice reform as protests against police brutality spread across america in 2020. harris was elected to the united states senate in 2017, representing the state of california. and already two years later, she announced that she would run for president from the democratic party to oppose donald trump. she lost to joe biden in the primaries and later supported his candidacy in the elections. after all. haris agreed to become his partner, as a potential vice president. as a candidate at president, and later as vice president, harris consistently criticized trump. criticism came from both sides. in a recent campaign speech, trump called harris a left-wing radical socialist. i don't think

the people of doral, miami, or florida like the californian socialism of kamela harris. in general, because in florida we do not like. socialism, we want our freedom, yes, we want freedom. according to national polls, harris has the same low approval ratings as biden. while it is not clear how harris' alliance with biden, a and her own political credentials will influence voters in a dramatic election campaign. let's discuss the impact of the us elections on the russian-ukrainian war. oleg shamshur, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary. in the usa from 2005 to 2010 and in france from 14 to 20 years , joined our broadcast. greetings, thanks for joining. congratulations, thank you. my first question for you is this: what does kamala harris need to defeat trump? first, i'd like to point out, having also listened to your story, that now harris certainly has a strong chance

of becoming a... er candidate for of the democratic party, i would say, even now it is difficult to see and distinguish what can stop it, but it must be remembered that it is a political figure that causes controversy, it has little than she has proven herself in the senate or on... in the position of president and rose only recently, when she became such a standard bearer of the fight for women's reproductive rights, that is, it must be remembered, now, as noted, she has the support of more than half of the delegates from riding of

the democratic party, and in my opinion, maybe pretty sure look to the future, but after that, for her, if you think that she will be the candidate, the most difficult part begins, which is how to win against donald trump, and it really looks like a very difficult task, currently behind trump, it is within statistical error, but it is very important how the confrontation in the so-called swing states will be formed, because the situation in these states, the vote of voters and, above all, independent voters will decide the fate of the presidential elections this year. mr. olezh, how are these elections? about some, let's say, facts, political

achievements, beliefs and to what extent they are about the individual. because about donald trump , many viewers say that he simply became an important personality for the republicans, how they react to him, there are sometimes voters, so that this is just a bright personality, what he says there, it can already be secondary, in such, in such a combination, which should be the main, key, we will definitely see the debates of these two candidates, and what kamela harris should be pushing there, and in order for defeat trump and donald trump, because now joseph biden will not be standing next to him, but another candidate, she is already younger there, she is a woman, she is black-skinned, it is obvious that this already adds to the difference in approaches to this campaign , as you understand, it was... well, it was wrong and too ambitious to give advice to trump or harris, at the same time i would like to say that of course the change of the main

character on the part of the democrats to some extent it reshapes or reshapes the presidential campaign, but i think it reformats. it is not radical, of course, now the issue of age and cognitive abilities is being removed, this is going away with the departure of biden, at the same time, the republicans will try during this period, even before the convention, to create an image of harris in american society, in american voters, and above all i think they're going to try to... tie her to biden, to his policies that they oppose, and also focus on harris's failure as

the person who was in charge of immigration policy and hold her accountable for immigration criticism, plus it will obviously be eh, that is, it will first of all be from the side of eh... republicans, the question is about, let's say , the gain or lack of gain of president biden and the responsibility for this is harris as a true head-soldier of president biden. i absolutely do not rule out that they will also attack, and i told the personality of garis, who is the most unpopular. vice president for the history of the united states, her unpopularity is even greater than that of joe biden, and on the other hand,

if we take harris, it will be obvious that we seen before, that is, trump, as a threat to democracy, as a threat to the individual freedoms of americans, and in this very aspect, in this. a lot of the focus will be on women's reproductive rights, that was such a winning strategy in the '22 midterms, and it's really a challenge for harris because you can't say that he's a seasoned politician, you can't say that he's a skilled politician , you cannot say that this is a charismatic politician, that is, she has very serious challenges, you need to work on your... political, er, well, let's say, abilities over the political, uh, uh, political, political skill, that's a pretty big

deal, and so, uh, right now, the next campaign looks very, very tight, a very small margin indeed, but it's, let's say, when they were compared hypothetically, how it will be when there are real candidates, we, we... will see, and there is not much time left, but it looks like it will be really interesting to watch, of course, that for ukrainians we understand that the ukrainian issue and its influence are interesting the us elections, how it will all affect ukraine. and are changes possible, namely in on the ukrainian issue for candidates from republicans and democrats, in order to achieve higher results in the elections, we have repeatedly heard from various experts that the candidates there are very closely following the mood of the elections. well, for example, the vice president, the candidate for vice president from the republican party, will he be able to change his opinion about the aid to ukraine, because now he opposes

this aid, and he certainly does not speak positively about ukraine, jd, i mean , and, but what can change in this sensei, if american voters, they will show, well, perhaps a greater inclination to support ukraine in this matter, you understand. this is quite a complex issue, that is, if you look at it in general, the level of support for the continuation of assistance to ukraine in american society is quite solid, strong, i would say, but there are very serious differences from the position of democrats and republicans, there are precisely those who are in favor continuation of aid primarily to military ukraine, are now in the minority. in in any case, the level of support is much lower than that of the democrats, and here is such a paradoxical situation, on the one hand , politicians take into account their moods, and this

definitely affects the positions of trump and his vice-presidential partner, vice-presidential candidates, on the other hand , with such statements about its perspective of reducing aid to ukraine, its inconsistency with the interests of the united states, it definitely affects, again , it affects the republican electorate. on american society as a whole, that is, it is kind of closed around, that is, basically, i believe that the most important thing is the determination of the position by the candidates themselves, and so far from the republican side, they look to us, well, as unfavorable as possible, and very uncertain as a minimum. as for garis, here is the position, well, for one thing, and i will ask you about garis now, but first i suggest

you listen. se magrin, director of the democratic stability program at the center for european policy analysis and professor of russian politics at king's college london. let's listen, then talk about garis. i think there was clearly and publicly expressed disappointment in kyiv about some of the calculations that the biden administration made. i don't think we should underestimate the achievements of the biden administration in the two years of this war, the level of aid provided, the level of transatlantic unity in... these ukraine, again, masterfully, in my view, put together by the white house and the state department, is truly unprecedented, but at the same time calculations were made in the white house about what weapons are supplied to ukraine and about ukraine's ability to use these weapons, and it's at least possible that the harris administration will calculate these things differently, and i think kyiv may see that as a positive, but again, only when harris herself is in the white house, which has yet to

be decided . question. you have the following: can president haris hypothetically give ukraine more than president biden gave? and i believe that it is impossible to answer this question, it is even premature, that is, until this moment, if you look at bayde’s statements, excuse me, at garis’s statements, they are absolutely in policy lines of president biden and from the vice president of another. it is impossible to expect, and i would even say that to some extent it is funny when they are trying to determine the politics, the political line, the views of garis on foreign policy, they simply do not exist, we do not know what her personal views are, that is, there are reasons to expect that will continue the biden line, it's clear that garis doesn't have the skills or the experience in the foreign ... that

biden has, they're unique, and so i think she's going to rely even more on the advice of his diplomatic advisers, among them is phil gordon, he is a well-known figure, the former assistant secretary of state for european affairs, he is respected by everyone, he is competent, but how, what will be the policy of harris, what will be the nuances here, will the reservations that we ... we have to biden's position, it is impossible to say now, time will tell and maybe, and the first debates between the candidates will also show, but thank you mr. oleg, thank you for your analysis, oleg shamshur, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine to the usa, 2005-10 years and svoboda ranok was a guest of france in the 14-20s. and now about the ukrainian, about the internal issue regarding the banning of the uocp, more than 60 people's deputies from the servants of the people do not plan

to support. the draft law banning the ukrainian orthodox church in the second reading and did not put their signatures, the left bank newspaper reports this with reference to its own sources, and more than 30 deputies from the ruling party are still hesitating whether to support this ban, and there are a certain number of servants who definitely do not will vote to ban the uocp. the left bank writes that it is against the approval of the said draft law is allegedly being actively thwarted by the head of the verkhovna rada's finance committee. of additional and customs policy danylo hetmantsev. radio svoboda's request is to comment. this people's deputy has left without an answer so far. but we are ready to provide the floor for comment on our broadcast, of course. according to the publication left bank, about 70 people's elected representatives, among them deputies of european solidarity, voice and servants from majority constituencies, allegedly even issued an ultimatum to the leadership parliament and the servant of the people that they will not.
