within our country, be with us every saturday. powerful work of the armed forces, what enemy targets were destroyed by our defenders. a trip deep into russia, a strategic risk. or a tactical move, and this is at a time when the muscovites are advancing on several front lines and the olympic games, which are the victories of ukraine. greetings, with you annavamelnik, more from the espresso team about the essentials of the past week. silence mode is saved. on august 6 , urgent reports began to appear about the crossing of ukrainian parts of the border and an advance deep into the territory of the kursk region. first this it was similar to an attempt to break through a sabotage and intelligence group. which have already

happened several times, but this time everything is completely different: apparently, the ukrainian military with the support of armored vehicles and other heavy weapons crossed the enemy border in kurshchyna, precisely in the area bordering sumyshchyna, which is constantly being shelled by the occupying army. if in ukraine such actions were unexpected for civilians, in russia even the military and putin himself did not expect this. while official kyiv is stubborn. chit, the supposedly unknown military is confidently moving deep into the russian federation. such a breakthrough advance is the largest for ukrainian troops since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the russian federation. and it is happening at a time when the armed forces of ukraine are trying to contain the russian offensive on at least three sections of the front, which stretches for more than 100 km. so such an operation is a strategic risk or a tactical move. let's understand further. war is a way of deception. "when you can, pretend

you can't, when you're close, pretend you're far, these are the words from the treatise the art of war, written by the chinese strategist sunji 25 years ago. the operation in the kursk region is a confirmation of their relevance. for the second time, the ukrainian military managed to achieve the effect of surprise by deceiving the enemy. the first time this happened was in the fall of 2022, during the counteroffensive in the kharkiv region, as then, now the russians were clearly not ready for such a scenario. as a result, the defense lines in the kursk region broke through very quickly. according to the british publication zelegraph, less as in 48 hours, the defense forces established control over an area larger than the entire failed counteroffensive in the summer of 2023. preparations for this operation, unlike the counteroffensive, were conducted in complete secrecy. and until now, ukraine does not officially comment on the course of hostilities, limiting itself only to... ukrainians know how

to achieve their goals, and we did not choose to achieve goals in the war. russia brought war to our land and must feel what it has done. we strive to achieve our goals as quickly as possible in peacetime under the conditions of a just peace, and it will happen. one can only guess about the final target of the ukrainian command: the ukrainian and western media are ringing different versions. few believe in the intention to establish control over the kurdish autonomous region, as it is too difficult a task. the implementation of which is likely to cause a sharp reaction from the western allies. some assume that the purpose of village defense is to create a buffer zone for the security of sumy oblast. observers also draw attention to the fact that ukraine currently controls the sudja gas measuring station, through which the key and currently only route for the supply of russian gas passes. to europe

after all, control over russian territory should strengthen ukrainian positions on the eve negotiations with the russian federation, which have been talked about more and more recently. but most likely, the main task of the operation is to force the enemy to withdraw at least part of his forces from the east of ukraine to protect his own territory. in any case, the exchange rate operation has already caused putin painful image losses. full-scale military operations on the territory of the russian federation. the confused dictator called it a provocation. the west has an opportunity to once again make sure that russia's so-called red line is a lie, more and more russians are realizing that their border is porous, talk of a second world army is false, and the russian authorities do not care about them. everything stops, everything stops, you see what is happening, horror, just horror. just horror! we were left alone.

we were left alone, we were used to shelling, we supported the svo. we were left with children, without a roof over our heads, without payments, without money. we left in what. there were, our children are afraid to sleep at night, the court was attacked, bombed, we had no power, nothing, but the loss of russia is not only an image loss, the number of captured russians is unknown, but we are talking about dozens, and maybe even hundreds of military personnel, only on this video you can see how more than 30 border guards and military personnel, who were supposed to guard... the border, surrender to the ukrainian defense forces, and this is the result of a well-hit attack on convoys that the russian command sent to eliminate the breakthrough, according to unverified information, dozens of soldiers were killed, hundreds were injured, that's what how many guys are left,

how many guys, that kind of thing, in addition, the russians lost several... boards, in particular, two helicopters were hit by ukrainian drones, and for the first time we have the opportunity to see a video of unique demilitarization operations air force of the russian federation. according to some observers, by starting the kurdish operation, the defense forces took a risk, because for its implementation reserves are used, which are not enough in donbas, where the enemy, albeit slowly, but confidently advances towards pokrovsk, an even greater risk is a reaction... of the event that military operations have moved to the territory of russia, and these are no longer sabotage sorties of the russian volunteer corps, but a large-scale operation of regular units of the armed forces of ukraine, which use, in particular, western weapons. did the americans, who

until now imposed strict restrictions on ukraine, know about it in advance? the white house claims that it is not, but the official reaction of washington, by the way, as well as of brussels, came as a surprise to many. calm it must be remembered that there are russian troops in the kursk region, they are stationed there, and they are attacking ukraine from this region. you can't forget about it. we will continue to support ukrainians. they will take common sense actions to protect themselves from these attacks. what americans and europeans say to ukrainian not publicly known to the authorities. may 13. in 2023, the armed forces of ukraine brought the patriot system to the border and flew two mi-8 helicopters and two su-34 and su-35 combat aircraft over russian territory. there were no more such campaigns, and within a year, the german publication bild reported that washington and berlin

were angered by the actions of the ukrainians and threatened to stop the supply of missiles for air defense systems. there is hope that this time it will be successful. no intimidation, it seems, while the allies are watching the development events, perhaps they should finally reflect on another aphorism of the chinese thinker sunzi. those who do not want to be defeated - defend themselves, those who want to win - attack. meanwhile, the russian army continues to attack the positions of the ukrainian military in kharkiv oblast. situation. controlled for a long time, but difficult. the enemy constantly attacks the direction, trying to find weak points in the defense of our units, but to no avail. the invaders continue to advance on donetsk region. according to the data analysts of deeppstate, the occupiers advanced in the pokrovsky, toretsk, and kurakhiv

directions, in particular near the settlements of panteleimonivka, grodivka, sergiivka, krasnohorivka, zhilanna, and ivanivka. at the same time , the defense forces of ukraine pushed back the enemy in the village of new york to some region and continue to contain them near the temporary ravine, fierce battles continue, there is a transfer of part of the forces that were operating, in particular in the zone of the kharkiv direction, in particular, there is a transfer of forces from kupliansk and from enemy units. which acted in the temporal direction, that is, in fact these main directions, where actually... the russian command of the north operates, and actually within the framework of their zone of their zone of responsibility , the russians transfer these units precisely to the kurdish direction of pokrovsky turkish, then the transfer of russian troops does not take place from there, these directions remain a priority for the enemy, and so on he

uses the accumulated reserves there and actually the dynamics there do not change, the enemy is trying to push through our defenses. another attack on civilians in constantine. that the search and rescue operation was completed in donetsk region and demolition of debris. as a result of a russian missile attack on the shopping center, 14 people were killed, among them two girls aged 9 and 11, another 40 people were injured, enemy troops shelled the city on friday morning, private houses, shops, a shopping center, the premises of the new post office were damaged , civilian cars. during the day , russian terrorists made a second strike from the hall's rocket system on the smerch fire. as a result of this shelling, two people were injured. the evacuation of 23 settlements in five communities was announced in sumy oblast sumy district. it is about a ten-kilometer border territory - said the head of the sumy ova, volodymyr

scouts destroyed another russian boat in the occupied crimea, and hunted it down the magura sea drone, the main intelligence directorate of the ministry of defense of ukraine said. tuna was hunted by a speed boat on the night of august 8 to 9. similar vessels were identified in gurkovyta near the settlement of chornomorske. used for patrolling, water area and logistics, three more watercraft of the invaders were damaged, their type is still being determined. a powerful strike, the naval forces and the main intelligence agency attacked a gas tower in the black sea, it was there that the enemy hung the russians and equipment. this was confirmed by the spokesman of the navy dmytro pletenchuk. he noted that the occupiers used this location, in particular, to... disrupt the normal operation of civil shipping, according to unconfirmed data

, the invaders kept technical reconnaissance equipment and up to 40 personnel there. travel for children ukrazaliznytsia has launched a new carriage adapted for comfortable and safe travel of families with children of any age. our film crew took a look behind the scenes of the first flight. so what are the impressions of the youngest railway passengers from the novelty. let's see. attention, dear passengers. the kharkiv yasinya train arrives at the station. it includes the first children's compartment car in the history of ukrzaliznytsia. different fairy-tale heroes hang on the doors of each compartment, and you need to see which fairy-tale hero you have. here's one, look how pink it is. rozovenky and go find your compartment. entertainment for little ones. passengers start from the platform, but the most interesting thing is, of course, inside

the compartment they have a children's menu, they have coloring pages, they have different books, there are there are stars on the ceiling, there are fairy tales that sound at the appropriate time from the speakers, there is music, there are appeals from psychologists. the first children's car runs along one of the longest routes of ukrzaliznytsia, kharkiv yasinya, a journey of 1,313 km. children's caused a real stir, as they say in uz, all the tickets were sold out in 40 seconds, so by the end of the year they promise to launch seven more such cars. following yasin's kharkiv , the routes that go from kharkiv to khakhod to transcarpathia, to uzhhorod, then the dnipro, zaporizhzhia, then there is an important bunch, where the children also go from, and also the capital in transcarpathia, because there are a lot of temporary ones. idps and those people who go to the camps where there is rehabilitation use these trains, so

we look at the length of the train, look at the statistics, the smallest one is the most. small passengers are simply delighted by such a novelty on the railway, and from now on they want to travel only in such cars. bright theme of all this, different monsters from different cartoons, very cool puzzles, my mom is one for me... but i haven't decided yet there are such, i will like it very much, i cannot describe the joy when for the first time in my life i sat on such a children's wagon in ukraine, cool, kid... the wagon was designed in collaboration with the unicef children's fund and with the financial support of the government of belgium. work on the modernization of the coupe lasted about six months. this project, i believe, is a small sign of optimism and hope, so to speak, and belgium is actually very proud to support this initiative. i think we all go back to

childhood when we see children's emotions. and we are very proud of the partnership that gives the opportunity for the children of ukraine during the war to remain real children, smile, play, because every child has the right to play and develop, and no one can take that away, regardless of any circumstances. you can buy tickets for the children's car in the ukrzaliznytsia application and on the new website, but catching them will be a task with an asterisk. the price of such a trip does not differ from the state. standard kateryna galko, oscar janson, espresso tv channel. the biggest competitions in the world are coming to an end. as of now, ukraine ranks 18th behind number of medals. we have three gold, four silver and four bronze. our athletes, even in the smallest team in the entire history of independence, who took part in summer

the support of all of ukraine. it protects us, and well, it's for them. then serhii kulish brought us the first silver in rifle shooting from three positions at a distance of 50 m. and in a few days we had gold, it was won ukrainian saber fencers, defeating rivals from south korea in the final. olga harlan, alina komashchuk, yulia bakastova and olena kravatska played in the national team. the ninth day of the games was especially fruitful for ukrainians, because they were on the podium. as many as three of our track and field athletes rose. yaroslava maguchykh and iryna gerashchenko brought us gold and silver. ukrainian jumpers took a double podium at the olympics. the last time this happened was in 1996. ukraine, i'm taking gold home. it is very important for me, not only for me, but for our team, for our country, for our people

military, it took a long time. i have been doing sports for 22 years, specifically high jumps, specifically with a pusova coach. my first coach, and for which i am very grateful to her, because she walks this path with me, she leads me, and i follow her, but mykhailo kohan took the third place in the hammer throw, the next day ilya chose silver for us koftun in the final on the parallel bars, the medal was his debut, the third gold for ukraine was literally knocked out by border boxer oleksandr khizhnyak. in the final match in the weight category to... 10 kg he defeated his opponent from kazakhstan by split decision of the judges. of course, i am proud of the fact that i became one of those boxers who managed to win an olympic gold medal, which, when i was still such a child, starting boxing, seemed very far out of reach for me, and now this dream, what once it didn't seem real, it became

real, we worked a lot with my father, with all of you, with all... our team. we have two winners in greco-roman wrestling. perviz nasibo chose silver, zhan beleniuk bronze. after that, he danced hopak, took off the wrestlers to applause and ended his sports career. our canoeists also managed to conquer france. lyudmila luzan and anastasiya rybachok got on the podium of the olympics in rowing on the doubles. they won silver at the distance of 500 m. summer olympics in paris from happened not only in scale. the program includes 32 sports covering 306 competitions. this year sports such as breaking, rock climbing, skateboarding and surfing will debut. but ukraine took it for the first time in history participation in football competitions, however, our national team completed its performance at the group stage. in general, even despite the great war, ukraine

the current vice president of the united states and candidate for the presidency from the democratic party, kamela garis, has officially named her running mate. he became the governor of minnesota , tim walsh. accordingly, haris extended the statement to on his page in the x social network. the wall street journal tells who this person is. so the details of the biography of the candidate for vice president from the democratic party are in our story. american presidential candidate kamala harris on august 6. former congressman and current governor of minnesota tim wald as his democratic candidate for vice president of the united states if he wins the election. as a governor, coach,

teacher and veteran, he helps working families like his own. great to have him on the team. and now to work. tim walz 60 years old, he grew up in nebraska, graduated from chadron state college with a degree in social sciences. he later taught social studies in minnesota, coached the high school football team, and served 24 years in the us national guard. volsubiy is currently the second governor of minnesota. term and heads the democratic governors association. previously , he worked in congress for 12 years and represented a conservative rural district. as governor, walsh advocated for providing shelter to transgender people who are denied a full range of health care services, and since the 1990s years, he takes care of the rules of the lgbt community. as governor, walsh introduced medical and educational reforms, writes the new york times. in his third year in office in 2020

, he signed legislation codifying abortion rights into state law, legalized marijuana, passed new gun control laws, provided free lunches to all public school students, created a paid vacation program , and granted illegal immigrants access to driver's licenses. minnesota. at the same time, in 2020, the governor was criticized for the killing of a black man, george floyd by police officers, recalls union. it happened in minneapolis, the largest city in minnesota, which walsh runs. then everyone noticed that walls was in no hurry to throw the forces of the national guard of minnesota to suppress popular riots that broke out after this murder. his caution was qualified in different ways, both as an indecisive moment of crisis and as a correct reaction to a situation when his electorate was on both sides of the conflict. as for ukraine, after the full-scale invasion began, tim walls

supported. the country condemned the invasion of the russian federation and declared that he is ready to help ukrainian refugees. in particular, walsh signed a law requiring the state of minnesota to no longer do business in russia or belarus. at the same time , in february 2024, walz personally signed an agreement on cooperation between minnesota and chernihiv oblast in the agricultural sphere. after the election of tim walz as a candidate for vice president of the united states on august 7, at a rally in philadelphia, the governor of minnesota appeared on the same stage with kamala for the first time. in the role of her partner in the upcoming elections, the bbc reports. during the speech he stated that donald trump will pull the usa back, that he is not pulling anything in the public service, because he is too busy serving himself. kamala garis and tim wall have a five-day tour of key election states ahead of them. during the party congress on august 19-22, they will officially accept the nomination and address their fellow party members with keynote speeches.

the intrigue surrounding the democratic party's nomination for vice president this week has finally been resolved. the majority of american observers were convinced that the vice president was their partner in the elections kamala garis will choose pennsylvania governor shapiro. shapiro was known for having the most support among democratic party donors. however, most likely, he was let down by... too much publicity and ambiguous statements that he already managed to make during the current presidential campaign. from that perspective, tim walsh, who represents minnesota, one of the key so-called battleground states in this campaign, looks like a less risky candidate. in addition, walls is a person who literally came from the people. for a long time, he worked as a teacher, and as

is known, this specialty in the united states traditionally enjoys great authority among voters. walsh is also a man of extraordinary diplomatic abilities. in addition, it is also a very good choice for ukraine. after all, tim walsh, while in the position of governor of minnesota, managed to do enough for a governor to support us in the war against russia. to the governor. all local businesses to conduct any business with russians. vols also participated in a video call to the president of ukraine to volodymyr zelenskyi, during which he also expressed full support for our war with russia. based on all this, american observers come to the conclusion: kamela garis and political technologists did

a good enough job. selection on the background of.
