he worked as a teacher at the time, and as you know, this specialty in the united states traditionally enjoys great authority among voters. walsh is also a man of extraordinary diplomatic abilities. in addition, for ukraine, this is also a very good choice, because tim walsh, while in the position of governor of minnesota, managed to do a lot as a governor to support us in... against russia. as governor , tim walls, in particular, banned all local businesses from doing any business with russians. also, vols participated in a video call to the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, during which he also expressed full support for our war with russia. based on all this, american viewers come to a conclusion. kamela garis and... technologists made

quite a good choice. amidst the deteriorating chances of republican nominee donald trump and his vice-presidential running mate, vance. the current pair of garis walls looks more modern and attractive. according to the latest polls of the american tv channel cbs, kamala garis is ahead donald trump in the national field by 1%. and in the most contested states, their chances are now even. however, the dynamics of the election campaign of kamela garis and now volza looks more powerful. however, it is at least too early to make final conclusions about the winner of the american elections, because key televised debates are ahead, which may take place as early as next month. donald trump, meanwhile... continued to collect

likes from users of social networks, he actively promotes his content not only on television, but also in chinese tiktok. by the way, vice president kamela harris also opened her page on this chinese social network. trump and harris are hotly competing for the vote of young voters, and trump made another bid this week to appeal to young americans. he received as a gift the newest cyberrock, produced by elon musk's tesla company. for us, the key thing should be that the topic of ukraine continues to be preserved in the american pre-election discourse, and currently this is exactly what is happening. at the same time it must be said that so far the leadership in this absentee confrontation, using the topic of ukraine, is currently held by the candidate for the presidency of the usa, donald trump. he actively comments.

his speakers and experts, who support the former us president, do this on this topic and also for him. on tuesday , august 6, president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi held a meeting of the supreme commander-in-chief, where the pokrovsky, turetsky and kharkiv directions were given the most attention. in turn , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. oleksandr syrskyi informed the president that he was at the scene of the events and was personally monitoring the situation. more details about the situation at the front, further in our story. defense forces of ukraine entered the territory of the kursk region of the russian federation. the offensive has been going on for several days. various telegram channels publish a video of a breakthrough in the territory of the russian federation, ruins, and local concerns. residents and the capture

of russian soldiers. there is no official information from kyiv yet. the russian public assures that the armed forces managed not only to break through the russian border, but also to create bridgehead on enemy territory in these few days. according to the american institute for the study of war and the economist, during august 6-7, ukrainian troops managed to advance 10 km in kursk oblast. on august 8, they wrote by telegraph that the armed forces of ukraine had left in less than 48 hours. when more territories were occupied in kursk oblast than during the entire summer counteroffensive of 2023, ukrainian troops quickly occupied about 350 km of the territory of the russian federation and took dozens of russians prisoner. in the russian public, meanwhile, there is panic about the possible seizure of the kursk as, so that we can do something later exchange it for zaporizhzhia as. however , ukrainian military experts believe that the purpose of the kurshchyna operation is to stretch russian forces, as it tried to do.

a squall during the offensive on kharkiv oblast and sumy oblast, border breakthrough, invasion, there are other such words, these are not quite correct, they are correct words, because we use we... we are on the defensive today, only in the defense there are five or seven types, how can you defend yourself, this is a counterattack, this is not a counterattack, this is a counterattack, well, you know how active armor is on a tank, what is active armor, this is armor with explosives, well , to put it simply, that is, when something comes to the armor of the tank, it explodes, there is an explosion to meet, this is active armor, this is active defense, this is an explosion to meet. therefore, this is a counterattack in order to make it impossible for the russians to concentrate there, concentrate and take offensive actions on the sumy region, i am somehow convinced that this is not a raid, as was done by the russian legions, the russian volunteer corps, which are the legions that take

part in hostilities in to our bots, because then they also commented on caesar, if i i am not mistaken, their leader is positive, he said that this is a raid, a raid means... they entered, they left, it does not look like a raid here, most likely, it is an attempt to create bridgeheads, a sanitary zone, well, at least for several tens of kilometers the depths of the russian federation in order not to give them the opportunity to prepare and carry out the same offensive actions in sumy oblast, as they did in kharkiv oblast. i hope that there will be enough strength and resources for this. at the same time, the su returned part of the lost positions in the area of ​​the city of chasiv. ukrainian military advanced through reclamation channel sivers. donets donbas and regained positions in the stupka golubovsky-2 botanical reserve. fighting continues in the eastern microdistricts of novy and oktovnevy cities of chasiv yar. this was reported by the american institute for the study of war. the situation in the turkish and pokrov directions is also difficult. these three directions, chasiv teretskyi

pokrovsk can be conditionally combined into one direction. this is the direction to kostyantynivka, this is the railway hub, our main road, that is , the road that we use actively. our logistical way and the russians are striving for us prevent this, or even dream of physically seizing this road so that they can use it on their own, where it becomes more difficult for them, where we stop them, they decrease there in one of these three directions of intensity, but it increases, well, they move there over a short distance, they are moving troops, including moving , well, maybe not manpower, but at least artillery shells, fish, lancets, well, everything, with which they conduct combat operations, and they are trying in another way, well, for example, now in the chasovom direction, they are the most actively, more than three days ago, it was the pokrovsky direction, and a week ago it was the turkish direction, that is, we see, and so in a circle, by and large, therefore

it is not worth saying that these are some separate directions, it is three in one, as they say, also, as the analytical channel deep state reports to the fighters of the 53rd. regained the lost position near the new york special boarding school number 38. however, fighting in new york continues, the situation remains difficult. chairman of the subcommittee on defense marie agnes strack zimmerman of the european parliament called on the government of germany and other european union countries to improve the efficiency of f16 fighters. which ukraine officially adopted on august 4. this was reported by the german tv channel cdf. according to the mep, effective support should also include the supply of taurus cruise missiles. why has germany been read so far?

more about the situation in the next story. ukraine officially received f-16 aircraft. this was confirmed by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi on august 4, the day of the 20th anniversary of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine. during the ceremony of welcoming the soldiers, several f-16 fighter jets flew over the ukrainian sky. as reported by the economist, ukraine received 10 of the promised 79 aircraft. and by the end of 2024 , ukraine should fly 20 american-made fighter jets. the first 10 of a possible 79 arrived in ukraine on the last day of july, a year after a reluctant biden administration finally gave its more impatient european allies the green light to send them. by the end of 2024, ukraine should fly on 20 aircraft

american-made fighters. the rest , promised by the so-called f-16 coalition led by denmark and the netherlands, will arrive in batches during 2025. f-16 is the most massive aircraft of the fourth generation, they are in service with 25 countries. in total, there are more than 10 of its modifications. the f-16 can reach a maximum speed of 2410. the flight range is 4220 km, the practical ceiling is 18 km, and the combat radius is 550 km. this fighter can use missiles, air, air, air, ground, guided and unguided bombs. experts defense express noticed that fighter jets, armed with two types of air-to-air missiles, have been handed over to ukraine. aim9 with infrared guidance to destroy targets in the short area and aim-120 guided by radar. radiation, which is responsible for medium and longer range.

the unusual golden color of the cabin light can also attract attention. its coating uses gold and this allows to reduce the radar visibility of the f-16. f-16 fighters are a powerful help to the armed forces, but it all depends on what kind armed partners will equip these fighters. this is for ukrinform - said the member of the bundestag, an expert in the field of defense policy ruderigka zavetr. the former colonel of the general staff, bondisveru, noted that individual weapon systems alone cannot change the situation at the front, as it always depends on a combination of factors, deployment options, time, the amount of delivered materials, etc. the number of f-16s transferred to ukraine is small, so they will most likely be used to close gaps in air defense, because it is more cost- effective to shoot down missiles and drones with air-to-air missiles. than more expensive missiles for arist or patriot systems. according to the expert, in order to

achieve air superiority over the enemy , a significantly larger number of aircraft is needed. if the f-16s will actually be used for direct air support of ukrainian troops at the front, especially against hovering bombs, their number should be significantly higher. therefore, ukraine requested at least 128 aircraft. only anti-aircraft defense with... without ukraine cannot win, cannot liberate any territory. also, according to him , ukraine must contrast the quality and efficiency of its forces with the russian superiority in numbers, so it is necessary to remove political restrictions on the use of western weapons to destroy military targets on the territory of the russian federation within the limits of international law. in addition, it is necessary that ukraine not only has the opportunity to strike the places of deployment of russian assets in limited regions. as well as related to military tasks, logistics facilities, ammunition warehouses, factories for the production

of drones, airfields and command posts on the territory of russia. according to reporters, two iranian officials, one of whom is a member of the islamic revolutionary guard corps, confirmed that iran had made a request for russian air defense equipment. and that russia agreed to the deliveries. in addition, this week it became known that the former minister of defense of russia, and now the secretary of the security council of the russian federation, sergei shoigul, visited tehran. a russian official met in iran with the new president of this country, massoud pazeshkian, as well as the commander of the iranian armed forces, brigadier general mohammad bagheri, who is in charge of military planning. strikes on israel. read more about the situation in the middle east later in our story. iran

decided to attack israel. this was stated by the head of the israeli foreign ministry, israel-kaz, on august 5, the jerusalem post reports. the notice of this decision was conveyed to iran by the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, péter szijártó, who explained that he received this information from executive officer. minister of foreign affairs of iran, ali bagheri. but at the same time, we must do everything possible to prevent the start of a major regional war. tensions between israel and iran have risen since the death of hamas political leader ismail haniyeh in tehran on july 31. iran accused israel of this and promised to take cruel revenge. as it became known from the new york times, iran asked russia for the latest systems. pppo to prepare for war with israel. the russian federation, in turn, has already started supplying weapons.

the publication also notes that august 5 russian security official and ex-minister of defense of the russian federation serhiy shuigu visited iran and met with president masoud pezeshkian, general mohammad bagheri, who is in charge of planning military strikes against israel, and the secretary of iran's supreme national security council. after this meeting, shaigu said that rev is ready for full singing. work with iran on regional issues. despite the fact that russia also has economic and cultural ties with israel. a large number of russian jews live in... analysts say that russia cannot allow to reject iran's request for help because it relies heavily on iranian drones in ukraine. according to the bbc, biden said he had been briefed on preparations to support israel in the event of an attack, and secretary of state anthony blinken added that the us was working around the clock to prevent an escalation.

ilya kust, an expert on international politics of the analytical center of the ukrainian institute of the future. noted for unian that destabilization in the middle east is not beneficial for ukraine, but such chaos is beneficial for russia, therefore they will help pump up the atmosphere medially. at the same time, as far as the immediate players in the middle east are concerned, no one wants a total war, because no one is ready for it. it's risky, expensive, and could hit the economy, especially iran, which has a weak economy. at the same time, no one is in the reg'. don't want to appear weak and everyone needs to save face. this is what the goal is now. they are trying to find a way to save face, but at the same time not to bring the situation to an uncontrollable escalation. hence all these stories with warnings, when the media part is used more than the real one, that is, there is almost a virtual war in the media, in reality everything can be much

more difficult, as it was already in april. the visit of former minister of defense of the russian federation sergei shuigu to iran created quite a stir. first of all, israel should be stressed because of him. however, insiders reported that the real purpose of sergei shoigu's visit to the islamic republic of iran was another reason. he apparently came at the insistence of dictator vladimir putin convince the leadership of iran to refrain from radical actions in relation to. israel, it seems that moscow is trying to introduce behind-the-scenes diplomacy, with one hand, supporting iran, providing it with modern air defense systems, and with the other, trying to preserve at least any relations with israel. whether such strange diplomacy will work remains to be seen, but in addition, russia continued

this week to actively intrigue against ukraine on the african continent. this week. immediately two african countries, mali and niger, broke off diplomatic relations with ukraine. the formal reason, which was announced, seems to be ukraine's support for the terrorist movements of the tuaregs, rebels who have been fighting for the creation of their own state in africa for many decades. as the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine stated in the corresponding statement, the governments of mali and niger have not provided any evidence of this, so the decision of these two african countries to break diplomatic relations with ukraine was premature. there can be no doubt. behind the diplomatic demarche of the governments of mali and niger is definitely the kremlin, which actively intrigues against ukraine on the african continent. therefore, it is possible that russia may prepare

new surprises for ukrainian diplomacy. russia declared an employee of the embassy of moldova in the russian federation to be nongrata. prior to this, last week in moldova , the parliament building was searched and two people were detained in the case of high treason. after that, kishinev announced the expulsion of one of the employees of the russian embassy for activities incompatible with diplomatic status. we will remind that it officially started on august 1 in moldova the presidential election campaign, which is extremely important both for the current government and for partners in the west. the kremlin, in turn , is trying to use the situation to bring moldova back into its orbit. more on all this in our next story.

it officially started in moldova on august 1. presidential election campaign. the parliament of the republic of moldova chose the date of the presidential elections in 2024/october 20. on the same day , a referendum on joining the european union is planned. these two events are symbolic not only for the current government and its partners from the west, but also for russia, which is not against regaining its power over moldova. as you know, the intentions of the president of the estate, maya sandu, and about 13 other politicians are to be swamped. as european truth writes, the most popular representative of the opposition, the leader of the rating among all opponents of the government is the pro-russian ex-president, head of the socialist party of the republic of moldova, ihor dodon. however, dodon announced that he would not go to the elections. socialists will nominate the former prosecutor general of moldova oleksandr as their candidate standing still but here too there is no lack of competitors.

the russian authorities continue to hold on to the oligarch ilan shor as their favorite and try to unite all other parties around him. in the spring, the peremoha political bloc was created for this purpose, and even the ceremony of its creation was held in moscow. the official candidate of the kremlin is a staunch socialist. vasyl bolya, but whether he will live to the day of the election, given the experience of the authorities removing shoriv candidates in the past, there is no certainty about this in moscow, so dubler also plans to register ex-prime minister vasilet tarliv, who headed the government in the 2000s during the period of the board of the party of moldova for seven years. oligarch and former member of the parliament of moldova ilan shur, who was convicted in absentia for complicity in the theft of a billion euros, is the main representative of the russian federation. politics and a public enemy of sandu and her political team. from 2022, the supporters of shore are trying to shake up the situation in

moldova, not hiding too much that their goal is to overthrow the current pro-western government. the financing of this activity is carried out from russia, it is also not hides too much shor, who is now hiding in moscow, even publicly admits to passing the cash to his moldovan associates. he plans to nominate himself. former prosecutor victoria fortune, who filmed her campaign video with a dove in her hands in the center of teraspol, the capital of transnistria under the control of the russian federation. and again, these are not all pro-russian opponents. journalist nataliya moraky, who positioned herself as an independent journalist, but got into a scandal because of her connections with the most odious oligarch vyacheslav, plans to run for president platonov, who is called the number one raider of moldova and the co-author of a large-scale money laundering scheme. russian money laundromat. iryna vlah, the ex-head of the government of gagauzia, can also put forward her candidacy for the post of head of state. at the same time, maya sanddu is the undisputed

leader and the question is whether she will win in the first round or will have to vote twice. a large public opinion poll conducted in may-june on the order of the american international republican institute showed an extremely polar attitude towards the current president. she is loved. more than all other politicians of moldova, but also hated the most. it is worth noting that even at the beginning of her presidency , sandu had a significant number of opponents, primarily among the pro-russian part of the moldovan population. in 2020, she won against the then pro-russian president dodon, receiving almost 58% of the vote, but the remaining 42% did not share anywhere. as deutsche vales writes, according to the survey results of the european institute. policies and reforms published on july 30, 30% of respondents are ready to vote for maya sanda. on the second ihor dodon is in second place with 13%, and

pro-russian politician renato usata closes the top three with 6.5%. at the same time, as reported by the ministry of defense, the fire shield 2024 military exercises will take place in moldova from august 5 to 23 with the participation of three countries, which aim to increase operational interoperability. between them the training, which will involve moldovan, romanian and american soldiers, is aimed at developing operational capabilities and improving the interoperability of participating personnel. units of military equipment and artillery systems of the national army. the fire shield is held in accordance with the national army's 2024 curriculum . it is organized annually, starting from 2015. in the following days, in the context of the exercises , military equipment will be moved along national roads. moscow does not

hide its ambitious plans to interfere in elections in at least two post-soviet states. one of them is georgia, where moscow will actively interfere in the parliamentary elections. and where the bet will obviously be made on the pro-kremlin party gruzynska. another country is moldova. here, all the kremlin's hopes are tied to its main manchurian or kremlin candidate, ilon shor, who has already managed to hold two pre-election congresses of his party in moscow. by the way, the heads of individual regions of moldova, in particular, gagauzia, came to see him. the kremlin is currently not actively pumping money into kremlin political projects in... the key question is whether the special services of moldova are able to disrupt this scenario and prevent a kremlin candidate from coming to power in moldova, especially since

the fight for... the position of president will be fiercest. this program was conducted for you by me, major of the armed forces of ukraine, taras berezovyts. thank you for being with us, thank you for watching, together to victory and glory to ukraine. laughter, physical activity, sneezing. even during such a small load, urinary incontinence can make itself felt. feminost uuro helped me. thanks to its natural ingredients, feminost uuro helps restore control over urination.
