and this means that at this hour we honor the memory of all those who died at the hands of the russian occupiers on ukrainian land, a moment of silence continues, do not switch. let's honor with a moment of silence the memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

almost a week has passed since the beginning of hostilities in the kursk region, but what will happen next, does kyiv have the ability to hold the occupied russian territories? but is this the main plan, if the plan is to withdraw the russian troops from the hot areas of the front on the front, then the pace is so far diversions are insignificant, at least that's how the western media write about it. perhaps russia is deliberately not withdrawing its troops. meanwhile, russian telegram channels are reporting on attempts to break through to the belgorod region, whether ukrainian forces will enter there as well. and this operation, in general, it can be a step towards negotiations between moscow and kyiv, and whether belarus will somehow join, because lukashenko has already started to sound... i can hear ukraine in escalation.

there are many questions, we see it. this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and we are starting a discussion on this broadcast. in the belgorod region of russia has announced an evacuation from the krasno yarozhan district due to the alleged activity of ukrainian troops on the border with the district, regional governor vyacheslav gladkov announced this morning. we have a troubling morning, enemy activity on the border. we have an anxious morning. activity of the enemy on the border of the krasnoyaruz district, i am sure that our military will do everything to cope with the emerging threat, but in order to protect the lives and health of people, we are starting to relocate residents living in the krasnoyaruz district to more safe places, kom raion more safe cities. the ukrainian military tried to break into the territory of the belgorod region of russia, according to the telegram channel mash, which is close to the russian security forces, and allegedly 30 soldiers are in the composition.

of the reconnaissance group wanted to enter the region through the kolotylivka road checkpoint, the post says, but the attempt turned out to be unsuccessful, according to mash. earlier on saturday, the governor of the belgorod region, oleksandr gladko, admitted that the village of poroz is the graivoronsky district, ten soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine. gladko pointed out that they were holding two local men captive and showed a video of communication with the family of one of them. however, as noted by local tv. channel ash , there is no confirmation of this story from the victim himself in the video, that is, in other words, he does not say anything about the fact that he was in captivity. moreover, on the footage, you can hear the man saying that when he left, he let all the dogs and chickens go, which may indicate that he planned his departure in advance. i will note that about the presence armed forces of ukraine in the village of poroz, belgorod region, russia, gladkov spoke after a video

allegedly showing ukrainian military personnel against the background of a village club building was distributed on the networks on saturday morning. the soldiers with the ukrainian flag say that they are from the 252nd battalion, vokchek analysts together with the public confirmed the geolocation on the video, it is indeed a building in seri poros, located 3 km from the border with ukraine, but the date of the shooting could not be established. well, it is important to remind that officially the ukrainian side is at the level of the general staff or the ministry of defense. does not communicate events taking place in the border regions of russia. in the conditions of war, we cannot quickly confirm the authenticity of a video that is being shared on social networks. meanwhile, the main battles in the kursk region of russia continue in the village of korjevo. this was reported by the russian telegram channel of the cheka ogpu. another public, ridovka, writes that, together with sujuyu , root is the key to the kurdistan autonomous region. another russian telegram channel, two major, writes.

that the settlement itself is under the control of russia, although the ukrainian military continues to hold positions in the korynevsky district. there they also report on the alleged entry of ukrainian troops into the village of martynivka to the north of like, seven cars drove there with personnel. at the same time, the chechen akhmat unit claims to have inflicted unprecedented losses on the ukrainian military. by the way, earlier on saturday, this unit already announced that they had knocked out the zsu from martynivka. russian pro-war publics also admit that the armed forces entered the territory of the village of plekhovo, bilovsky district. their stay there was also confirmed by the acting governor of the kurt region oleksiy smirnov. and the russian ministry of defense said that they had warned of an attempt by the armed forces of ukraine to enter the area, but the agency was caught lying in reports about the situation in kursk oblast. thus, the publication insider found out that two videos about the alleged attacks on the concentration of ukrainian military in the kursk and sumy regions were actually filmed in

other places. these are the shots published by the rianovosti state agency on august 10, as well as those, referring to the ministry of defense, which were passed off as strikes on the armed forces. in kursk region, however, in fact, these are shots of strikes on the ukrainian cities of kremin and the yar times, an insider writes about this. another video, which the russian ministry of defense issued for the footage of the attack on the armed forces in the sumy region on august 9, was published online a month ago, namely on july 14. i will remind you that the so-called breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine in the territory of the kurt region took place on august 6. the russian ministry of defense initially announced the entry of troops into the region. armed forces with tanks and armored vehicles, later in the report of the chief of the general staff of russia valery gerasimov there were already about a thousand ukrainian military. ukraine has not made any official statements regarding the operation in kursk oblast, however, president volodymyr zelenskyi in one of his addresses the other day said about, i quote: squeezing the war into

the territory of the aggressor, and in yesterday's address zelenskyi mentioned the kurdistan region of russia in the context of strikes by the russian military applied to ukraine from its territory. only since the beginning of this summer, and only from the districts of the kursk region , almost 2,000 strikes have been carried out in our sumy oblast: artillery, mortars, drones, we record every racket, and each such blow deserves a just answer. i would like to note that the day before the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, oleksandr syrskyi , published on his social networks a photo next to the map with the caption "we are continuing the operation". many people associate this post by syrskyi with the events in the kursk region of the russian federation. ihor romanenko, military expert, retired lieutenant general, joins our broadcast. ihor oleksandrovych, congratulations, thank you for joining. i congratulate you. almost a week has passed since the breakthrough in the kursk region of russia.

one of the tasks is considered by many experts says about it, to force the troops of the russian federation to redeploy their forces from the active areas of the front. edition. nomist writes that moscow is not transferring as many forces to the kursk region as kyiv would like, they say there is a transfer from the kharkiv direction, but not from the donetsk region, the desire to capture the donetsk region from the kremlin is stronger than to hold kursk? well, in some ways, maybe even stronger, but we see the panicky, let's say, mood of the leadership, especially in the first two or three days there, during the actions in the kursk direction, so they are, i would say, feverishly, so that for them it was clear, they behaved, during this time they are concentrating the appropriate forces in order to, as they say, stabilize the situation in the kursk direction, but if you are about

the consequences, then i would like to point out that we had our main intelligence department of the ministry defenses are revealed for another two months, so if not more plans. actions of the russian troops in the direction of kharkiv and sumy, and in this connection i would like to remind you that forces were always concentrated in the area of ​​suzhi, troops that they planned to use on sumy, but since it was not enough, it was transferred to the kharkiv region, which is trying to increase its efforts there, that is, with such actions, the enemy was definitely not given a chance. to open another front, well, in the direction of sumy, although the sums are being bombarded there and around with guided aerial bombs and artillery fire is being carried out, this is as a result of the overturning in the kharkiv direction,

let's say it is important and from the body there are already confirmed overturning of forces, there is the overturning of forces from the cock. southern kherson front, and there is a transfer of forces, as if the sevastopol brigade marines too, that is, this process is happening, forces. there are not enough of them, but i think that the stage is already coming when our troops need to think more about defense, so as not to get carried away with offensive actions with the destruction of forces that have pro-ukrainian units and units that operate there, and taking into account those forces that are being gathered there the russians, that is, one must be able to... make quick decisions, organize defense with the aim

of holding these territories as much as possible, because this gives political consequences, the president said about this regarding the movement into their territory, we see the consequences both internationally, that is , the allies declared that the weapons used there are ukrainian weapons, we talked about it for a long time, but they did not make up their minds, here they made a decision in a day or two and it is true within the framework them on... so the ukrainians are acting there on the requirements for the use of these weapons, this is very important, well, in addition, i would like to pay attention to the moral and psychological consequences, both elevated in ukraine and depressed in the russians, and evaluations allies, that ukraine can conduct offensive actions, can act on the enemy's territories, then... because lately we have felt that the forces in

the allies, in the states, are pushing ukraine to negotiations, to negotiations that are in the state they are in now military actions, well , it is not the best time to carry them out, and these actions, let's say, change this situation in favor of ukraine, and this is also important, in addition, i would like to remind you that we have also started... we are actions in the belarusian direction, that is, from a military point of view, that means those forces from the regions around kursk they started in kursk, including belgorod, they are forced to act now, that is, in order to stabilize the situation in their regions, that is , all this is developing quite dynamically, but so far it is still successful for the ukrainian side. mr. igor, let's go into detail about all these aspects now, because they are really important. and here there are many questions about everyone, the bbc wrote that ukrainian forces advanced 30 km deep into

the russian federation, and russian forces are accordingly building defenses near the kursk nuclear power plant. or kursk? au at this stage can still be a goal? the goal may be, but not the main and not the main one, but even the influence that is happening now, we see that it is out of power there, that there are some fires. we see that in connection with this , the russians organized fires at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, rubber tires are burning there, which means that they carry out such a provocation and raise their drones to show that it is thanks to the actions of the ukrainians, that is, it works, but not in all cases, i would like to remind you that, except for nuclear, it is already under our control pro-ukrainian forces gas distribution. the station itself is more closely related to the military and economic aspect as well, but in my opinion, as

a military person first of all, it is important here, once again i am talking about not getting carried away with offensive actions, even there, you will attack rylsk, lgov, kursk, there kurchatov, and in order to estimate how many resources and reserves have already been transferred by the russians there, i don't think that... our forces operating there have enough reserves, although you can see that it is opening up in the belgorod direction, well and known now on the internet there was a statement to the locks of the brig, in my opinion the third or some brigade that we do not yet know, that is , ordinary citizens, and there will be something further that would really have happened if there had been more help from our ally, primarily the americans, which they don't... carry out, because in terms of the amount in supplies, the previous one was

200 million in july, now it is 125, and before the pause for six months, they delivered weapons and equipment to us in two weeks for about one and a half billion, and there are funds, then the question arises, what is the matter, where is the powerful help that i am talking about said president biden after this pause, when he was apologizing for...this pause to the ukrainian people, but i, as an expert, do not see it. ihor oleksandrovych, you have already mentioned twice that it may be time to stop and prepare for the revolution. in this context, given that we really don't know what the resource is and what the main task is, but hypothetically, to capture these territories, which are probably already captured, and in the kurk region, how many forces and means are needed to maintain this territory? well

, there are five thousand military personnel from our side resources and it is necessary for this to be. weapons, equipment, ammunition, respectively, and with all this, well, we have problems, to put it mildly, because, well, it is not easy here, and in connection with this , only an equipped defense system can help in this, that is, then they will have to to advance with three times more force, and to use it, you see, they are already doing it, that is, against our troops who are operating there for... their operative weapons, such as iskanders, are hitting with iskanders at, well, their distance, let's say ballistic iskanders there on 600 km, and they are hitting near here, because it is necessary to stop and they do not stop before anything, they do not stop from the point of view of using weapons to

defeat our forces, but gradually they take... under control the actions of their forces, which are concentrated there, and tum, i see this as a serious threat, and it is very important to move to defensive actions in a timely manner in order to be more effective in the future, well, the american publication the hill writes that ukraine will have to decide how to act with the territory it receives, keeps in russia, and does it not distract from the main defense efforts at the front, but in such a... in such a long perspective, does ukraine need to keep these occupied territories of the russian federation? and this will have to be seen in the process, what it gives and to what extent it will be necessary, this is a good question, to keep, but as for why it was used here now on the territory of the russian federation, and whether to help with these forces there

in difficult places, it is definitely necessary to help, i am saying here that it is necessary to help with all the resources of the defense forces of ukraine, that is... i mean that the resources regarding the defeat and not only the main intelligence department of the sbu should be involved in the assistance of the ground troops of the armed forces of ukraine, primarily in the east, but if these forces were involved, they improved, we have in several areas there, unfortunately, quite a large number, where it is difficult, where they are advancing , stopped, destroyed some areas there, but the consequences are neither international nor domestic. for us there were not, and so this move from a military point of view, well, there are advantages that we talked about, but it added something that would not have been added if these forces had worked on on the eastern front, that is, the international factor, this is very important, and in the assessment of what kind of weapons can be used, well

, the same americans need it there, there is another important factor that is missed in connection with the events in kursk. what germany and america have announced regarding the fact that in the 26th year they will establish a 2.5 km tank, a hyperweapon that the americans are just giving to germany and the modern cm6 anti-aircraft defense means, and this is an escalation, as the russians say, we would then we will react, something with nuclear weapons, in the capital to target and so on, but this does not stop or help our allies... the efforts of sullivan, who is implementing this braking process of aid to ukraine, so that there is no escalation, that is, when it concerns them directly to the usa, germany, they are determined to they give, although for the 26th year, for under a year in perspective, but they do it, but for ukraine what,

and for ukraine, israel is helped in a package of 125 million, and israel is helped by 3.5 billion, and the worse we are and israel, ukraine, and taiwan were provided with appropriate funds, and they are. saudi arabia is being lifted from the ban on the purchase of strategic offensive weapons in saudi arabia, which is not at war, they are not doing it to us. well, we see that the attitude towards ukraine and even the rhetoric, as we saw from the situation in the tavku region, has already changed a lot, and there is certainly room for growth. i want to catch up with you, we have one minute left, but to ask, you already mentioned the... negotiations, if this operation is carried out in order to weaken russia's position, do you really see the possibility that negotiations in the near future are possible and possible, even... well, do you see the factor of belarus and lukashenka personally? lukashenko does not play a significant role here, he fulfills the tasks of putin, and in the general

context, including the installation of nuclear weapons in belarus, for example, and so on, but the actions that we have, mean that they have in russia on the kursk direction, the belgorod one is added, it advances the idea, i think that the second stage of the peace plan of our president will be in... this year, and if these things continue to develop positively for ukraine events, it means that these negotiations regarding the cessation of hostilities will move forward faster, but for this, as we see, according to the events, we need more decisive help, not the one that, therefore, the same americans are providing at the present time, thank you, our task is about mobilization, it's very important, thank you for joining, as always we are now when we discuss... the topics of questions arise in the process of conversation even more, well, let's continue to talk about it further. thank you for joining ihor romanenko, military expert, retired lieutenant general hosted by svoboda ranok. thank you for your

comments, for sharing this video, for your likes about the belarus factor and lukashenka, we will talk further. the belarusian army allegedly started transferring military equipment to the ukrainian border, at least this was the statement made by the ministry of defense of this country. the department says that the subdivisions are the same. from mechanized connections are brought into readiness to perform tasks, this was a quote, which task is in question, it is not specified in this statement, the published photos and videos show tanks loaded on railways platforms, they are, i quote, planned to be sent to the designated areas in a combined way. earlier, the minister of defense of belarus, viktor hryenin , said that belarus will strengthen the regions bordering ukraine, he added that oleksandr lukashenko allegedly gave an order... to strengthen the grouping of troops in the gomel and mozyr regions. these regions border kyiv region and chernihiv region. the ukrainian state border service

responded to these reports about the alleged overturning of equipment. the spokesman of the service, andriy demchenko , said on the air of the telethon that at the moment border guards do not record the movement of equipment or troops. of course, we see that belarus is once again starting to inflame the situation in this direction, most likely in order to continue. playing along with russia, we see accusations towards ukraine, this has already been done repeatedly by lukashenko and all of belarus, most likely, as part of this informational influence, belarus will be forced to take photos and video materials, maybe some parts will be in the direction of the border with ukraine, but at the moment additional forces are not fixed near our border. the transfer of belarusian army units to the border in minsk was justified by an alleged violation of the air. space of ukraine on august 10 oleksandr lukashenko stated that several drones allegedly flew from ukraine to belarus, some of them were allegedly destroyed there, and the rest flew to russia. minister

of defense of belarus hryenin at the briefing even told the minute-by-minute movement of drones in the country's airspace. hryenin said that combat aircraft were launched into the air already an hour after the alleged disclosure of drones in the sky, they were destroyed. subsequently monitoring telegram... the belarusian channel called the statements of the belarusian security forces, quoting nisenitnya, they claim that there were no launches, missiles from the su-30 fighter jet and the mi-24 helicopter. vadym mysnyk, spokesman of the siversk operational-tactical group, joins our broadcast. welcome to our broadcast, thank you for joining. good morning did the drones fly to belarus, because if not, then what did the belarusian military shoot down, what did they report about? well, they can beat something in their air there, because the last days, a week ago, two

weeks, it was recorded repeatedly, when it was the russian attack on unmanned aerial vehicles that entered such routes through chernihiv oblast and then entered belarus, there were such cases, then what, how they fly there, they have to sort out among themselves. with russia, and in recent days, maybe weeks, well, probably every day, the situation on the belarusian-ukrainian border has somehow changed, so what about the section of the border with belarus, that is, as far as chernihiv oblast is concerned, the situation has not undergone significant changes, the operational situation , we watch closely for development of events, we have repeatedly heard from... the military and political leadership of belarus about various intensification of their actions or checks of combat readiness and so on, but we are

careful. it is by actions, not by words, by actions, we follow closely, we do not make exceptions, defense, a defense system, we build a single system, both against and against, from the side of the russian federation, and from the side of belarus, we have a single system of defense, it strengthened, it is created, that is, we take into account the experience of previous events and precisely february 2024. that year we know our region's peculiarities and we know what and how we will act in the event of any offensive or provocative actions by the enemy. well, that is, for the last week, and this week we are following the events in the kursk region, there are no anomalous movements or activity on the part of belarus on the border with ukraine. well, even here, if

you think logically, as a military man, i... i can say that if you wanted to do something, you wouldn't show it like that on a video , demonstrating it in general, it's a more informational component of some kind of pressure on to ukraine it is being done, well, in this way, but, as i note, our task is for the military to be careful, we should not underestimate the actions of the enemy, so that we are preparing for reconnaissance. different variants of events, so we must seriously prepare for all possible consequences. that is, in addition to the fact that you observe the actual situation on the border, the movements of belarus, you also take into account, you said this, the statements from the military and political leadership of this country, and well, it looks like this, well, it seems to me that often these statements are so radical, but they are not always hopeful reinforced, that's how it turns out, that's how it happens from time to time.

we, we, i'm saying, it's by actions, for example, in the spring they conducted a large-scale, that is , another check of combat readiness, but then they called up conscripts to their military units for a month, and there were already quite a large number of them by the dozens thousands were going, then it really was a huge factor that we took into account in our, in particular, in the performance of tasks and in our plans , e. we will act accordingly before this, by the way, i wanted to ask you that, because there are video footage that the military leadership of belarus showed with military equipment, and they said that this belarusian army allegedly started to transfer military equipment to the ukrainian border, are you following

it, what could it be? can it end up there and when, taking into account the distance , the geography, the fact that it is by rail, how do they transport it there, when it can end up on the belarusian-ukrainian border? well it is wherever they can, they can drive this train in circles, or they can send it to their neighbor, or vice versa, now the means of intelligence are quite powerful and some large-scale overturning. of military equipment is almost impossible to carry out secretly, so, i think, we, we will track everything that is necessary, and we will take the appropriate measures before this, in the state border service, i will remind you, we stated that in this way belarus is inciting the situation at the border, i thank you for joining in and telling me what the military situation is like, do you notice

the movement of equipment or russian troops vadym mysnyk, spokesman for the siversk operational-tactical group, was a guest of svoboda ranok. thank you. i see a lot of comments under the broadcast on the radio svoboda channel, and i also encourage you to share your thoughts about what you heard and about the role of belarus, write what you think about this, whether lukashenko can be personally assigned a special role . those events that are taking place, including in the kursk region of the russian federation. on collection of equipment and military personnel to the ukrainian border in belarus did not stop, and there they also threatened to close the ukrainian embassy in minsk. the day before, temporary attorney olga timush was summoned to the belarusian ministry of foreign affairs, where she was given a note of protest, i quote: in connection with the violation of the border of the republic of belarus by a group of unmanned aerial vehicles

launched from the territory of ukraine. this was reported by belarusian news.
