american weapons have not changed. i will remind you that publicly washington forbade kyiv to use its weapons for strikes on the territory of russia. however, even here there were exceptions, in particular when, after the re- occupation of a part of the kharkiv region, the usa was allowed to strike russia with its weapons, that is, within the limits of the defense of the kharkiv region. we want to talk about the political component of this operation, whether ukraine could start it without the consent of its partners. well, the second important question is what consequences this operation will have for vladimir putin himself, who has been sissy. tries to support the image of the defender of the russian people, well, here, as we see, it turns out that he could not, could not, protect. volodymyr ogrysko, head of the russian research center, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, 2007-9, joins our broadcast. congratulations. i congratulate you, good. well, look, it looks like this operation came as a complete surprise to putin and his ministers. how serious is such a political defeat for vladimir putin? well, we are actually with you already. repeatedly

said that putin's regime is going to its historical finish line, and i think that these recent events in the kurt region are yet another confirmation of that, yes, you see, the russian army once again shows that it is not capable of controlling not only the situation on the border, but even that , which concerns the territory itself, as it were... that is, this russian federation, because we know something, after all these events of yesterday and the day before yesterday, prigozhin is remembered all the time, who , well, actually, if he wanted to, he would have reached moscow in a couple of days, not meeting on his own no obstacles in the way. well, you know, i have the feeling that if we had a handful of 100,000 personnel and appropriate support there. armored vehicles, then i think

that this feat, well, one that the beauty did not undertake at the time, could be repeated, to reach moscow, you mean, of course, well, because, because what is happening inside of this half-empire, actually indicates that there is no control beyond a couple of tens of kilometers from the contact line, then there is simply emptiness, empty... so in russian, that is where everything is done as anyone wants, that is , in fact, this army, whose representative, well , looks, sorry, words, well, it’s already too moronic, well, sorry, i don’t have another word, who can’t read and say something, eh, so smart, wants to emphasize, this shows that this is really a paralysis of the system, and for it to start...

just one, but strong blow is needed, but such a blow can be anything, if only i i say, it all had the appropriate support, well, the appropriate scale, so i think that russia would this blow would not have been you, but, but, but nevertheless, if we talk about the political consequences for putin, well, i see that it just appeared literally a minute ago. he gave an order there to pay 10,000 rubles each to the residents of the kursk region to those who need it, that is, they are trying to sort out the situation in a humanitarian way, but now his people will tell him that he did not protect them, can this have any effect , well, there will be no elections, maybe it would somehow affect the elections, but nevertheless on his support, on trust in him, riots, maybe in the future in connection with this situation can be or? whether or not

it will go unnoticed in general, because russia is big and because what happened there in the kursk region, it is unlikely that they will find out somewhere in murmansk. and the people who are now on the freed part, chickens, well, they will take a waiting position, of course, they will lie down, as they say, at the bottom, but they will not protest, because, well, they are insured, intimidated from birth, so... go against the tsar, well, this rebellion may end with a conditional death on some local square, so no, there will be no riots here, there will be yaroslavny crying, there will be silences, there will be, well, what is already going on in all these public places, what to do, where to go, and so on, but that’s further, it will not go beyond these things, it will

affect putin, well, you see, russia, again, it is not a country with which we can compare anything, but for any... european leader, well it would be political suicide and the only way out would be a proper pistol with one cartridge, it doesn't work for russia, not yet will end in complete collapse and collapse, everything will look as if nothing is happening, well, well, if you think about it, well , several thousand soldiers or some number of civilians died there, well, it’s a war, well, let’s write some problems, that is, i think that we should expect some there are no additional image losses for putin, the regime is still standing, and this is the main thing, and while putin believes that the regime can

stand even at the expense of some territory, even at the expense of thousands of people, and he will do it until the end, because for them there is no human fate means nothing, and this is the key difference between their situations. from our side, the ukrainian authorities have not yet officially commented on the motives and goals of this operation, but there are already some separate comments from experts, from the media, from ukrainian deputies, for example, oleksiy goncharenko in an interview with the bbc , he said that this is his guess, apparently, that we are showing the world that we should not be afraid of escalation, we should not be afraid of putin's reaction, there is no reaction, and that for the first time since the second world war, the russian territory occupied, and putin did not take up nuclear weapons, as he constantly threatens to do so, and this is something that must be shown to the world, well, we showed it to the world, what does it give? well, you see, it gives the impression that putin

is bluffing, that putin is blackmailing the west with his nuclear bangers, that putin is trying in this way to deter the west from ... finally crossing his own red line that he drew for himself , that escalation is bad, but escalation is actually not bad, because putin is, well, you see look at him, at his behavior, at his insecurity, he has now given some commission, performing the duties of the governor of kurshchyna, to do something here, somewhere there and so on, well, this is complete, sorry, complete delusion, er, that is, it should. .. but to make our western partners understand that in fact putin can be put in place in exactly this way, by force, and no more, and you know, it seems to me that there is still a positive moment in this, look, now, well , be that as it may, well,

they say that the figure is 325 thousand square, the data they even call it... 400, well, even more so, so imagine that we advance to a certain line further, and from this we can calculate how many kilometers we have left, which we can use to hit russian territory, well, let's advance little by little, and the voronezh airport will be destroyed, the airfield, rather, and all the others, well, i'm joking, of course, but believe me, if neither the americans nor the europeans in any way... did not question the logic and the need for this operation means you have to go further, our heroes marched through kurshchyna for 25 km, then they added another 25 km and struck the appropriate blows in the depth of this

russian territory, and so every time, and believe me, this will be a normal way of life for the west. "the ukrainians are doing something, the ukrainians are moving on, russia is silent because it understands that nuclear weapons are the end of russia itself, so the topic will be gradually but steadily closed. we, we will now talk about the proposal of the western partners, because it really looks like this , that they support, they just silently support, very discreetly, still i wanted to talk to you about one goal, well , at least the western media also write about it, the bloomberg publication" today wrote a large publication about it on... that there is a political goal here, for example, to seize some part of the territory as a potential bargaining chip for future negotiations with moscow, what do you think about such a version, how realistic is it? well, you know, now the actual version is more than enough to capture the kurdish nuclear

power plant and capture more territories and then blackmail putin with all this and so further. we are not privy to this idea. operations, you see, we still do not hear official confirmation that this is the ukrainian army, although i do not think that these brave tuaregs managed to fly to... from mali to ukraine to organize and go on the offensive against those who give them life in their homeland , for some reason we don't talk about it, so there must be some reason for this, i don't think we should fantasize too much, so to speak, about this topic, let's see what happens in the next few days and understand whether there will be no military action pro... logo to some things that, well, can develop around putin, for example, it

can be, and those people who have probably long wanted the regime to change, can use such things as an excuse to do something to duck, well, anything can happen, but you are hinting that there may be allies in putin's close circle in ukraine or something, or am i wrong. to seem that the situation in order to take some more or less radical steps has actually arrived, well, because, as you can see, the führer proved that already on the very territory of the holy such terrible things are happening to russia, that's why we must do something to save... mother russia, we must change the kings,

we must think about the fact that something must be changed somehow and maybe we can agree on something, well, everything happens, am i right ? i understand, you still think that ukraine could hardly start this operation without the approval of its partners, i can hardly be of any use here, because... in such cases, this information is available to a few people, and i think , that no one knows about the intention of the operation today will say, but agree that something unique is happening, because both ukraine and the international partners, ukraine does not comment at all, and the international partners comment very, very discreetly and in such a way that you assume that they are all - still agreed on this one. do not oppose it, at least, and in this respect this is quite unique, this is probably such a big

geopolitical reversal, but even today i saw the head of the defense committee of the bundestag said that he does not consider it a problem if ukraine uses german weapons in battles in the territory of the kurdish region, is this a unique situation or not? well, you know, it will become completely unique when our american partners take the same position, which until... will finally allow even from the territory of ukraine, but to use long-range russian and american weapons in order to destroy russian military and infrastructural objects objects so then, i would say that we really have a different, completely new quality, so far we hear from the white house that the policy of the united states in this regard remains what she is. and it seems to me that this is now a key element in the changes, if this

happens, then, believe me, then, either the kursk people's republic or the belgorod people's republic, will see through very quickly, and today there was such an initiative of the ukrainian border to attach it to this small district, which is now near ukrainska, probably it was such a joke. yes, but there was such a joke, but you know, in every joke there is only a part of a joke, the truth is, thank you very much, volodymyr hrysko, head of the russian research center, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, 2007-9, we continue to monitor the situation in the kursk region, we called it the kursk front for short, but in the end we are watching how it all ends and will keep you informed about it, like these broadcasts, like this you will support our work, you can leave questions, comments, wishes in the chat. under the broadcast and until tomorrow, there are discounts until

captured this settlement in the first days of the invasion. then hanna had everything. 14 years old. during all this time, there was no news about the girl, but i really hope that thanks to your concern, the child will be found. please look carefully at the photo and try to remember what hanna looks like. she has an oval face, straight dark hair and brown eyes. of course, in this photo , the girl is much younger than her 17 years, but i don't think that this will prevent her from being recognized. if someone suddenly sees. abazin, or if you know anything about her possible whereabouts, do not delay and dial the short number of the magnolia children's search service 11630 from any mobile operator. calls are free, if you suddenly cannot call, write to the chatbot of the children's search service in telegram. i also want to remind you that we are looking for six-year-old sashko

hrytsenko. the story of this boy is also from of the temporarily occupied territory of luhansk region . told in previous programs: the child was abandoned by his mother, and now sashka is trying to find his father, who is not in the controlled part of ukraine. we spoke with the man, and now i will tell all the details of this frankly shocking story. his ex-wife asked for him, and i will look for him, i want to take him under my wing. she wrote from home and then came back, but then left again and the location. so when full-scale war broke out, little sashko lived with his mother and his husband's grandmother in the city of lysychansk. this territory was occupied almost from the first days. at the beginning of last year, the child's mother left home and left sasha with his old great-grandmother. it was a long time ago, probably somewhere in

the 23rd year for sure, it is the beginning of the 23rd year, i found out because of this, maybe she also... previously threw my grandmother to a self-willed person on the mountain, left the house, for a long time the boy was taken care of by his great-grandmother , and soon the elderly woman died and the child was taken away in the occupied territory social services. sashka was immediately taken out of lysichansk, all this happened about a year ago, the service came and took the child, after that i knew where he was, what he was, well, i relatively knew what he was there, based on rumors, by reports, well, by the fact that he was in pain somewhere. killed, then he was transported to luhansk, and then his whereabouts are unknown, so i will look for him. is the child still in the temporarily occupied territory of luhansk region, or was the boy taken to russia, to find out? so far it didn't work, the man, of course, turned to the police, but so far there is none clues to find out where the six-year-old son is.

i begged my child, hrytsenko oleksandr oleksiyovych, to someone there , if someone can come by any signs, boy, be a sweetie, i will be very grateful to you. i appeal to everyone who sees this video, especially to the residents of the occupied luhansk region. look carefully at the photo of sashko hrytsenko. the guy looks 6-7 years old. he is thin, about 110-15 cm tall. he has straight light blond hair, a round face, and brown eyes. he is very kind, child, he is very kind to people stretches if anything, what he liked was, well, playing there, well, like all children. but this child has the status of cerebral palsy. he could not pronounce yes. sashko has a medical diagnosis of cerebral palsy, which is why he cannot always clearly articulate his thoughts, but he is very sensitive

and reaches out to people, if suddenly anyone has seen the boy or knows where he might be now, immediately call the magnolia children's tracing service hotline at short number 11630. calls from all ukrainian mobile operators are free, if suddenly no... has the ability to call, write to the chatbot of the child tracing service in telegram. we have created a resource through which you can report any crime against a child, in any city, at any time, just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcaymua.

welcome to the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas time, i and the host oleksiy kovalenko. fighting continues on the border of the kursk region. a spokesman for the us state department at a briefing on thursday refused to comment on the details of the kurdish operation, but stressed that the us is determined. support ukraine's efforts to protect itself from russian aggression. as for the fact that the ukrainian authorities do not talk about their operation, i think you certainly understand that if the ukrainian authorities do not talk about it, i am not going to talk about the operation they are conducting. obviously, we strongly support the efforts of ukraine and defense against russian aggression. intelligence suggests that russia used the kursk nuclear power plant to contain iranians there without... pilots t rockets, does that worry you? i won't comment on ukrainian intelligence, but we definitely saw russia attack from the border

region where ukraine is operating. as western media emphasize, the operation in kursk demonstrates the rigidity of the defense of the russian border, as well as undermines putin's authority among russians and strengthens ukraine's position in future negotiations. about the events in kursk oblast. an incredible raid by ukrainian forces on russian territory and its long-term consequences, my colleague andriy borys spoke with experts. he joins our live broadcast. i congratulate andria. congratulations oleksii. andrii, how are the events in the kurt region currently being commented by experts and analysts, as well as the international media, and have we perhaps heard any new comments on this matter from the pentagon? yes, oleksiy. actually, the latest comment from the pentagon just came from sebrine singh for. deputy spokesperson of the pentagon, and here is what she answered about the situation in the kursk region, what is actually happening, it is agreed, as she said, with the policy of the united

states, the united states receives information from ukraine, but she asked for more comment on this, actually from the side, to ask for a comment from the ukrainian side, and she says that the united states has always supported such actions, because if there is for... a thunderstorm directly from the russian border, ukraine has the right to respond and attack, although it once again confirmed that the united states does not give permission to actually strike with western weapons deep into the russian federation. she is also interesting said that america is actually not afraid of escalation on the part of russia after the corresponding rate in the kurdish region. a lot of aleksey writes about kurdish. western media, in particular the economist uses the following phrase: she, she, they, journalists write that this is the second battle of kursk, by analogy with...

the battle of the second world war, lemont calls it the largest invasion of ukrainians since the beginning of the actual full-scale invasion, there about a thousand soldiers are involved, reuters, new york times, they write that such an operation has become a surprise for the russians, but here it should be noted that almost all western media, they actually refer to the data of russian social networks and russian high... in washington , the institute for the study of war, the most authoritative, authoritative institution here, is engaged in analysis, actually from open sources, of what is happening in this war. we asked the analyst of this institute to actually tell us how, what she sees, that is, what takes place directly in the kursk

region, please listen to her direct speech. we see a lot of reports, some of them we are still checking today, but as of last night we observed reports that the ukrainians are attacking in these two directions in the kursk region, towards the settlements of suja and towards korenev. we watched footage of ukrainians operating on ukrainian armored vehicles, 10 km from the border in the direction of korenev, but we haven't seen many videos yet. we are still analyzing a lot of geolocation data. what is your response from the russian side? do you see on the first day, the comments of russian military bloggers were limited, some of them tried to discredit the raid, suggesting that it was just some kind of informational operation

. hours-long raids on populated areas, but yesterday and today we saw high-level russian officials, like putin himself, holding meetings about this, including the governor of the kursk region, trying to show that they are addressing this issue to curb the fear of the russian people . and what is happening on the russian side? we see many reports that russian reserves as well as frontline russian forces... border forces, fsb guys, and also according to some unconfirmed reports, veterans of the wagner group, as well as chechen forces are moving towards kursk. andrii, what do experts say about the potential mutation of the operation, as well as its consequences? well, actually, we talked about this with the analyst of the institute for the study of war, she says that, probably, the main goal of the armed forces of ukraine here is to distract. forces

of the russians from other directions, where they are active are attacking, this is the kharkiv direction and the donetsk region, another, perhaps, another goal may be, as some analysts with whom we spoke say, also a special information operation in order to show that the armed forces of ukraine, that the war can take place not only on the territory of ukraine, but also on the territory of russia. the economist, for example, writes that the actual seizure of the kurdish nuclear power plant may also be the goal, citing russian sources, but there is no confirmation of this yet. andrii, thank you very much, mine was in touch with us colleague andriy borys. as we continue, former us president and republican presidential candidate donald trump held a press conference in palm beach, florida. this is trump's first public appearance since kamela harris announced walz as his vice presidential running mate. at the same time , this week the presidential campaign in the usa.

have focused their efforts on events in several key states that will play an important role in determining who wins the election in november. according to trump's speech, as well as the course of the presidential campaigns my colleague tetyana voroshko watched. congratulations tanya. tanya, what did you hear from trump's press conference, what did he focus on? well, the main news of this press conference, he said that it was agreed to hold three debates between him. khaharis on september 4, 10 and 25 on tv on three different tv channels, but it was unclear whether this was an agreement with the tv channels, and so far the answers from the company of kamela haris chiles, whether they accepted this offer, whether they are ready to participate in these debates, we have not yet heard, nor he said that cbs is ready to hold a debate between the vice-presidential candidates, but he began his speech by talking about the threat that, in his opinion, threatens ukraine .
