in a new house, i want peace, yes, they went with the children, they went for a walk, they sat in a cafe, i once was with my baby, boris yachalko, serhiy dekun, radio liberty, and it was a report from pokrovsk, except for the pokrovsk direction, ukrainian the army continues to lose positions in the villages of positions near new york and zalizny, this is already a turkish agglomeration, ukrainian troops are here. well, the russian troops have already reached the foot of the terekon in the north of zalizny, and behind the terekon is the city of toretsk, this is the main goal of the russian offensive on this direction in addition, russian troops were able to cross the siverskyi donets-donbass canal in the temporary yar and create a bridgehead on the western bank of the canal, albeit a small one. well, they strengthened their positions near pokrovsk, near pokrovsk, turetsky and chasov yar for the armed forces of ukraine, extremely now the composition. in particular, because the defense crisis

is brewing in other directions in the donetsk region, in particular in the area of ​​krasnohorivka and ugledar. is it realistic to keep donbas, where the russian large-scale offensive has been going on for 10 months. yes, on the one hand, he did not lead to the complete collapse of ukrainian defense. but on the other hand, during this time the armed forces could not seize the initiative and in some places they are slowly retreating, i mean the armed forces of ukraine. is there any reason to believe that in the near future the situation will change in favor of the ukrainian troops, ukraine received. oleksandr bordiyan, junior sergeant, acting press officer of the 32nd separate mechanized brigade, joins our broadcast. congratulations. greetings, greetings, dear viewers. thank you for joining. i will say that you are in turkish direction, so that it is clear to our audience how serious the situation is at the moment? and as of now, without

exaggeration, the situation is very serious, i don't want our viewers to panic, but the situation is difficult, we, we, we soon, i think, in a few minutes, the military expert konstantin mashovetsi will join us, this is what he says about the fact that it is very difficult in the turkish direction and that there it is necessary to withdraw ukrainian units from the borders of nelipivka new york, because sooner or later... they may find themselves surrounded, or do you agree with these predictions? look, i don't think it would be entirely correct for me to talk about plaster of paris and new york, because this is not exactly our defense line, our defense line is the northern iron and, well, turkey itself is behind it. what is missing in order for ukrainian troops to seize the initiative? lacks, as always, it 's no secret, lacks personnel, lacks

firepower, it must also be understood that we, we, we are fighting an enemy that surpasses us in capabilities and firepower and manpower, ugh, missing people, including people, do you have any expectations from po... in terms of expectations from the appearance of the f-16, here it must be understood that the f-16 is a multifunctional air- based platform, and everything will depend on , what tasks are assigned to these platforms, that is, what range of weapons will arrive together with these platforms, but what expectations, i do not know.

do you somehow discuss among yourselves on the front, or do you believe that now the f-16 is somehow able to improve your situation, at least in the area where you are? well, if, let's say, from ourselves, yes, then, well, of course, we expect, because, well, the goals and tasks that these aircraft can perform, there are many of them, as of now, from ourselves, for example, yes, we we expect that somehow the situation will change, for example, with guided aerial bombs, which russia, well, just puts out tons, everyone, every week puts out tons on ours. share the statistics, if you have them, how many, how many bombs, how many bombs russia drops per day, per day for sure, it is difficult to count, i can say that in the week that has passed exactly according to turkey.

118 guided aerial bombs were fired in that direction, that is, in principle , you can count on average how many are needed, we had literally last week too. on air servicemen who are in the donetsk region, and they told us that the battles for zaretsk are a matter of the near future, what do you say to that? well, in fact, the battles in zaretsk are already underway, the enemy is trying to infiltrate with small subversive and reconnaissance groups, and constant work is being planned in this direction. and neutralization of these groups, but it is necessary to understand that these groups can infiltrate and greatly complicate our logistics in the immediate rear, for example, the same evacuation, that is, their work on their part is conducted in

these directions. thank you for being able to join, oleksandr bordiyan, acting press officer of the 32nd separate mechanized brigade, we talked primarily about the situation in turetsky. direction, and kostyantyn mashovets, military observer, coordinator of the information resistance group, joins our broadcast. i congratulate you, konstantin. good day. i want more details with you already to talk about the situation in donetsk region. many experts we talked to say that the pace at which the russian army is moving in donbas is very fast. some experts generally say that if this continues, it is very hypothetical, theoretically, that it is possible to reach kyiv region, but what... are your assessments of the pace at which the russian army is moving in donbas? well, they have increased compared to the pace that was about a month ago, well, obviously this is due to the fact that

the enemy command is concentrating its efforts own, provides means and the group created the appropriate one. but having concentrated the forces and resources there, the pace is increasing, it is obvious, this is firstly, secondly, they really have a chance to turn these tactical successes into such a deep operational success, under what circumstances this can happen, and that you you call operational success, well, the depth , the depth of the advance, er, this is, first of all, this is the main criterion, and thanks to what, well, under what conditions, well, the current ones, for example, well, we, we see that, that the front for the last months it is expanding a lot there, for example, if there in february after the fall of avdiyivka, the front line

was close to, if i am not mistaken, 25 km, now it is about 40 km, even more than 40 km there, without taking this into account, then... . the consequence that happened there after the russian offensive in kharkiv oblast, in this situation, when the pace increased, when russia has a chance to turn its tactical successes there into more operational ones, as you said, what chances do the ukrainian troops have to break through take the initiative in your favor, i don't know, strengthen the defense, or to go on the offensive at all, well, there is no question of an offensive now . the armed forces of ukraine are conducting a strategic defense operation, this is, firstly, the main purpose is to defeat the enemy, inflict losses on him, and in the armament of military equipment, with which he

will not be able to launch active offensive actions, well, at the moment, the enemy is concentrated precisely in the eastern operational zone on carrying out active offensive actions on pokrovsky, tretskyi. pokrovsky directions and partially in kurakhivsky and kramatorsk, i.e. he concentrated on where, according to his the conception of the plan, here are the chances of the armed forces, well, i don’t command the armed forces, i can’t evaluate them now, i don’t have any, especially information, and disclosure and in public access, i don’t think that this is... an appropriate matter, but konstantin , defense is also very difficult and does not always succeed, well, judging by the fact that russia still breaks through these defense lines and captures, albeit very slowly, village after village, well, they have an advantage in these directions,

due to which, especially in aviation and artillery components, due to which they advance, that is, they are supported foreign troops. this is a key element. i saw your release on youtube a couple of days ago, because you do additional reviews, and you talked about what you said about the turkish direction, and you said that it is necessary, if i understood you correctly, to withdraw ukrainian units from boundaries nelipivka new york, because sooner or later they will find themselves surrounded. you, you can detail how early or how late and why, why it hasn't been done yet, because we see the map of the deepstate and it's really already there. such a pocket was formed and does it look like ukrainian troops may find themselves surrounded? well, the enemy is obviously in

the zone of action of his 41st general military army, this is the center grouping of troops, he is trying to achieve success, tactically, they are operating through yurivka, new york on the nelipovka from the south and through the iron trying to the same, in the same on ... trying to break through, and thus cut off the units of the armed forces of ukraine, which are still holding the eastern part of new york, from the main forces, this is an obvious plan at the tactical level, well, this is a decision by the command authorities, the appropriate ones, who organize and lead directly there, use the troops directly in that area, on that aspect of the front. here are the conditions, well, the enemy has already broken through there to the gas station in new york, tnk, it is

there on the way to dry balka, here are his advanced units, and to advance there in iron, to sumska street, he has already advanced there in the direction of the store of this vodalei, there is a well-known local store, that is, it is obvious that the command of the enemy's 41st army is making efforts. in order to realize this idea, or have the ukrainian troops are already withdrawing from this direction, well, i'm telling you, i'm not in charge there, well, i can't say whether they should or not , maybe you have opinions on this matter, certainly more than i do, well, there are opinions, well, i said mine, you quoted my opinion, i would withdraw the troops, because it is obvious that... uh, the combat capabilities, the armed forces are there, well, not

those that make it possible to get this area, i would take him away if i was in command there, well, i am not in command, there may be some special conditions there, there may be some the intention of the ukrainian command, i don't know, i don't have this information, i can't tell you anything concrete about this, konstantin, i have... the last question, what are your expectations from the f-16, are they able to somehow improve the situation on donbas, hypothetically on a certain, on a certain direction, can be marked there, but it is obviously not an operational zone in the east, why, why, well, because there are no conditions for their use, yes, that is , all of these... i am asking about this because very often from the military, whom we put on the air, they many said that they are waiting for the f-16,

it makes no sense for them to wait for the f-16, for those who are in donbas, there is such a saturation , the density of the enemy's air defense means is so significant that it can end badly, an attempt to use these aircraft, their they will just beat them there. you mean it, well, in different ways, maybe they won’t be able to complete a combat mission, they fly off in vain, as they say, maybe they will be shot down, i can’t tell you here whether they will be shot down there or not, that is established exclusively in a practical way, thank you very much, kostyantyn mashovets, military observer, the coordinator of the information resistance group, we talked about the situation in donbas, where the russian army... is increasing its offensive, for today we have everything, subscribe to radio liberty youtube channels and until tomorrow, there are discounts

the city of kupyansk in kharkiv oblast, and it was there that she encountered a full-scale war. let me remind you that almost from the first days of the russian invasion, it was under occupation, and the city was liberated by the soldiers of the ukrainian armed forces in september 2022. it was then that it became known about the disappearance of the child. where sofiyka might be now is still unknown. it is possible that the girl is in territories not controlled by ukraine. i hope that with your help, 13-year-old sofiyka will be found. let's do it again let's look at the photo of the child. she has blond hair, thin. lips and oval face. if suddenly someone has seen sofiyka or knows where she might be, call us immediately on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 1163. i also want to tell you the story of the sisters lianna and neli kopalenko, also from kharkiv region. liana turned 14 in march, and neli is now 17. in these

photos, the girls are clearly younger, but i really hope that does not hinder them. wanted information about the disappearance of the sisters has been received in june 2022 from the border town of vovchansk. two years have passed since then, but during this time there was no news about the kapalenko sisters. it is possible that nelya talyana was taken back then to a territory not controlled by ukraine, or even to russia. therefore, it is very important to know even the smallest details of their disappearance. if suddenly someone has seen the girls or knows at least some information about... them, immediately call us on the hotline of the magnolia children's search service at the short number 1163. calls from all ukrainian mobile phones operators are free, if suddenly there is no way to call, write to the chat bot of the child tracing service in telegram. and i would like to ask for a moment of your attention, this is 16-year-old

ivan bastryukov. the boy also disappeared in the city of kupyansk in august 2022. about a month before the liberation of the city from the russians. ivan looks his age. he has an oval face, dark gray hair and cariochi. if anyone has seen the boy or knows where he may be, please call the magnolia children's helpline immediately on the short number 11630. calls from any free of charge of the ukrainian mobile operator. let me remind you, if suddenly there is no connection or an opportunity to call, write to the chatbot of the children's search service. in a telegram. and now regarding the territories controlled by ukraine and a more or less peaceful life. unfortunately, children also disappear here, as the experience of the children's search service shows. mostly, most of them are teenagers, who often just resort to running away. we talked about this topic with a psychologist and collected a lot of tips for parents that can certainly prevent

a child from suddenly running away from home. tell me the child, to whom he can turn in case of need. of course, ideally it could be you, the one she should turn to when she feels the need for it. but sometimes you may not be available, you may be at work, busy with other things. rights, and what to do then? agree on this in advance, think together with the child to whom he can also turn, maybe it will be another adult from the family, maybe it will be one of the teachers, or the school psychologist. in addition, coordinate with the child the anti-crisis a plan for what to do when she gets into a situation that could be dangerous, and if it happened on the street, where to run, how to call for help, how to take a taxi and get home? and the child must have money for this taxi, that is, work out the anti-crisis plan to the smallest detail, and the more detailed it is, the more chance it will work, and the more

chance you will save the child from some great danger. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time, just go to site and report. and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrime ua. the chas time program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. us president joe biden convenes a national security team in the white house situation room over the conflict in the middle east and the threat of a possible regional war. earlier on

monday , he had a telephone conversation with king abdullah of jordan to discuss ways to de-escalate tensions, including the need to conclude an agreement on an immediate ceasefire between israel and hamas and the release of hostages. as reported by the american media in joe biden's administration, they believe that as early as monday-tuesday, iran may ... strike israel, in response to the elimination of the leaders of hamas and hezbollah last week. state department spokesman matthew miller urged all parties to refrain from possible escalation. we are at a critical moment for the region. and it is important that all parties refrain from escalation and calm tensions in the coming days. escalation is not beneficial to anyone. this is not in in the interests of any of the countries, not in the interests of the region. and... also definitely not in the interests of millions of civilians who just want to live without violence and conflict. meanwhile, washington is sending additional troops to

the middle east to prepare for a possible iranian attack on israel. and a number of western countries are urging their citizens to leave lebanon. oleksiy kovalenko will tell more about the situation in the middle east. us warships and destroyers are headed to the middle east for full-scale war deterrence and defense. israel the pentagon is moving significant forces into the region to prepare for the possible need to defend israel from attack. at the same time, we are working very hard on diplomatic de-escalation of the situation, because we do not believe that a regional war is in anyone's interests at this time. and this is what we have been trying to avoid since the events of october 7. the demonstration of military power is taking place against the backdrop of a sharp increase in tensions in the region, following the assassination of hamas leader ismail. last week and the rocket attack on the israeli-controlled dutch heights, as a result of which dozens of children died on the football field a few days before.

israel blamed the attack on the lebanese militant group hezbollah and struck hezbollah targets in lebanon. one of the military commanders of hezbollah was killed. iran supports both hamas and hezbollah. the ongoing aggression and brutal attacks by hezbollah are drawing the people of lebanon and the entire middle east into a wider conflict. although we prefer to settle the fighting without a wider war, the guild is fully prepared for any scenario. in beirut, in a video message on the controlled by hezbollah to almanar tv, hezbollah leader hassan nasrallah denied the group's involvement. we categorically deny our involvement in this incident, and we have the courage to take responsibility if we had struck this place, even if the strike was mistaken. meanwhile, the population living in the region is suffering real consequences. israel's iron dome air defense system went into action over the weekend to intercept attacks across the border with lebanon. in

connection with the arrival of sub-crip. military forces, the state department issued a travel advisory against lebanon, encouraging us citizens to leave lebanon. oleksiy kovalenko, aresh arbasadi, voice of america, washington. ukraine received almost $4 billion in grants from the united states through the world bank. prime minister of ukraine denys shmehal announced this on monday. according to him, these funds will be used to finance priority budget expenditures, such as salaries for teachers, rescue workers and social welfare... this is the first tranche of direct budget support from the united states of america in 2024. in general ukraine is to receive $7.8 billion of such support as part of a major $60 billion aid funding package approved by the us congress in the spring. the f-16 is now officially in ukrainian skies. the day before, fighters from the first delivered batch were shown in ukraine. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy thanked the partners, said that the planes are already in operation and ukraine

is waiting. more fighter jets, meanwhile, my colleague maria prus asked retired us air force col. geoffrey fisher about how the f-16 could make a difference on the battlefield? i wouldn't said they're going to change everything, i think the commander of us air forces in europe, general james hecker, actually described it best. he said the f-16s won't be a game-changer, but they will be an upgrade for the air force. i think that's a really good way to put it, and i would also say, if it's just one or two f16s now, it probably won't be a threat, but when it's 12, 24, 36 fighters, then it really becomes a challenge , because then you can actually complete the mission that i think he wants achieve ukraine, namely air superiority, to be able to control the air over its own territory, and then project

air power over russian forces. giving protection to the ukrainian forces on the ground to be able to conduct combat operations, get logistics and all the things they need to do without fear of russian air attacks, but in the meantime, preventing all of this from coming to the russian forces on the ground. kamela garis will soon announce the name of her candidate in the vice president of the company, with whom he will compete for the presidential seat. meanwhile, her rival, republican candidate and former president donald trump. continues his campaign, focusing on states where the gap between rivals is within statistical margin. iryna shinkarenko will tell about the course of the presidential campaign. the main intrigue in the team of the democratic party is who the vice-president of the kk malagaris will choose as his vice-presidential candidate. among the main candidates are pennsylvania governor josh shapiro, minnesota governor tim waltz and senator mark kelly.

duke university political science professor john green said. voice of america that the choice of vice president should make the main impression on voters about harris as a potential president of the united states. it will speak volumes about her, her priorities, and her approach to governance in terms of who she sees in her place if, for whatever reason, she is unable to fulfill her duties as president. garis is planning a multi-state campaign tour with his vice presidential running mate this week. which are still not have made up their minds about the election, with a tour starting tuesday in pennsylvania, the trump campaign is also expected to continue investing time and energy in states that could be pivotal in the november election. currently, states such as pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona are both relatively large and are seen as key in terms of electoral competition. while american voters are waiting for the announcement

of the candidate for vice president from the democrats. there is growing interest in whether garis will participate in a debate with his political rival, ex-president donald trump. the republican presidential candidate says that now that president joe biden is out of the race, the debate that was scheduled for september 10 on abc should be moved to early september and aired on fox news in pennsylvania with an in-studio audience. on saturday, trump wrote on the social network true social, quote: "i will meet from september 4th or not at all, the harris company, however, is adamant and plans to stick to the original plan debates what donald? i hope you will go ahead and meet me on the debate stage.
