ethics, but also our other bodies. well, it's already 16 o'clock on the clock, which means that it's news time and we're giving the floor to our colleague anna eva melnyk. colleague, in fact, we pass the baton to you and ask you to share what you will talk about in this issue. congratulations, thank you for your work, we, the news editorial team, will continue to work on the most important things, we will tell, in particular, who headed the first commandant's office in the kursk region. all the details below, stay tuned! with us, let me start with this, the enemy came almost close to the outskirts of pokrovsk in donetsk region, serhiy dobryak, the head of the pokrovsk city military administration, announced this, according to him, it remains. more than 10

km from the outskirts of the city, enemy shelling does not stop, people are dying, so he called on civilians not to delay and evacuate the city, especially families with children. in the direction of kharkiv , the activity of the russian aviation has decreased, the spokesman of the kharkiv military group vitaly sarantsev said. according to him, the enemy drops from two to four guided aerial bombs per day, while it used to drop them. sprat dozens of airstrikes from 30 to 50 kabs per day. he suggests that the enemy is probably concentrating its efforts on more important directions for him, or it is due to the fact that after the defeat of the russian airfields in russia , they have reduced the number of aircraft, ammunition and aviation fuel. muscovites became more active on the left bank of the dnieper in the kherson region. at once, seven enemy attacks were repulsed by the turnover forces. on

the bridgehead north of krynkiv, as the spokesman for the operational group of the tavriy troops reported , dmytro lykhova, because of the fire from the explosions of our units had to move to new positions. in general, there are no drastic changes in the tactics, the composition of the troops, and the nature of the enemy's actions. the enemy continues his aggressive war. there is no need to talk about reducing the number of occupiers, - lykhovi added. the first in the korsk region to the commandant in the town. suja was headed by major general eduard moskalyov. oleksandr syrsky reported about this at the supreme commander-in-chief's meeting. according to him, the situation in the territory of the offensive operation in the kurdish region is under control. first today, our troops advanced from 500 m to 15 km in separate directions, repulsed three counterattacks of the enemy, and continue the offensive. since

the beginning of the operation in the territory of the irkutsk region, our troops have advanced with battles in the circle of the enemy's defense for 35 km, 1150 km of territory, 82 settlements have been taken under control . president volodymyr zelenskyi emphasized the need to strengthen some legal positions of the state, in particular, the participants of the operation in the korsk region receive. all benefits and preferences are provided for front line, the president also called on the verkhovna rada to urgently consider the issue of trophy weapons and legionnaires who have earned ukrainian citizenship. also at stake today was the strategy for the return of our people from russian captivity, many delicate details of what concerns the formation. in terms of working with

partners, i instructed the ministry of the interior, the ministry of internal affairs, the security service of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine to present to society the details that our people need to know about how we return prisoners, and i instructed to involve in this work the public organizations of relatives, ukrainian military and civilians who are currently in captivity, such a strengthening of trust is needed. every year on august 15 , ukraine celebrates the professional holiday of archaeologists, it is these people who work to preserve the cultural heritage. meanwhile, the russians continue to destroy our historical heritage. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the enemy country has destroyed or damaged 1,062 monuments. we will see more about this in the plot. for more than 10 years, russia has been waging a war to destroy ukraine. our

state, our historical and cultural heritage. the enemy destroys buildings, conducts illegal archaeological excavations, appropriates museum artifacts and archives. they are trying to eliminate as much as possible of what constitutes ukrainian identity. according to the ministry of culture and information policy of ukraine, only for the period from february 24 , 2022 to april 25, 2024, the russian federation destroyed or damaged 1,062 objects of our cultural heritage, including 123 monuments of national significance. most of all from the aggressor'. kharkiv region and kherson region suffered, followed by donetsk region, odesa, chernihiv, kyiv and kyiv. these crimes began back in 2014, when russia not only illegally occupied ukrainian territories, but also began to destroy and loot

cultural monuments. during the active hostilities in the east of ukraine, russian troops dug in burial mounds and settlements. how many mounds were destroyed is not known for sure. according to the calculations of the ukrainian historian serhii telzhenko, at least 60, and if we also take the occupied part of luhansk region, then the number is much higher. after the occupation of crimea, it is also unknown and the fate of the collection of scythian gold from the melitopol museum. in order to protect the exhibits from the occupiers, ukrainian museum workers, as in the second world war, even froze the exhibits in the walls and buried them in the ground. however, the russian marauders got to... at first, the occupiers claimed that the collection remained in melitopol, then it came to light in the cultural center in berdyansk. where the collection is actually located and what is the exact list of exhibits of gold from skov stolen by the russians are unanswered questions . cultural heritage is very important

an important story not only for ukraine, but also for the international community as a whole, because we are such a part of the world's cultural heritage and must be protected, taking into account various tools. cooperation, therefore, as of now , we have more than 2,000 objects of cultural heritage and infrastructure damaged and destroyed, now we have such a challenge to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to the maximum to document these damages in the context of bringing those responsible for what is happening to justice in the international arena in our country. by according to unesco, ukraine needs $9 billion to rebuild its cultural sites and tourism industry over the next decade. three after a large-scale russian invasion. the organization also notes that the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage objects, including religious buildings and artifacts, can be equated to war crimes under the norms of international law. tatyana

golonova, espresso tv channel. and the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase of modern drones and electronic warfare systems. for the third separate assault brigade of the 110th and 47th brigades of the central military commission. the defenders in the donetsk direction every day hold back enemy attacks and defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of countering enemy drones. our goal is uah 3.5 million. with your help, we have already collected almost uah 960,000. remember, each of your donations is important. join the gathering everyone. details you see on the screen, and you can always read more about important things on our website espresso tv, also subscribe to our channels in social networks, support our youtube channel and i say see you at 5 p.m., then my outstanding colleagues,

oksana vysochanska, will be on the air and marta olyarnyk. protect ukrainian defenders from enemy drones. reb, or radio-electronic warfare, is a means that creates obstacles for communication between the operator and all weapons with radio-electronic equipment. unmanned aerial vehicles, system air defense or artillery. also such devices. suppress mobile and even satellite communications to disorient the enemy, so our military constantly needs such devices. in a radius of 10 km, uh, this antenna turns on a point or a drone turns on, then our specialists can

already see it on the screen of a laptop or tablet, where this drone is located, on which trajectory it flies and how it can be silenced and... to reduce the risks of an attack there, here, and in this situation, this mobile station can constantly move, fighters of the 60th fifth separate mechanized brigade destroy the enemy in the zaporozhye direction. battles are fought in hellish conditions, but thanks to timely operational actions, the enemy suffers losses. according to the military, russian drones are constantly operating in the robotynsk direction. electronic warfare systems are the key to victory in the drone war. the fighters of the 65th separate mechanized brigade received such devices from the zhevvago charitable foundation. we wish you health. fighters of the 65th brigade, we express our gratitude to the all-ukrainian

to the zhevvago charitable foundation for the purchase of these devices, which will save lives when performing combat tasks. glory to ukraine, gerava, the zhivvago family foundation regularly donates drones, generators and cars to the military so that our military destroys the enemy and... brings victory on ukrainian soil closer. therefore, president zelensky asked the verkhovna rada to meet to adopt a defense legislative package for ukraine, which will include the issue of determining the status of the ukrainian military in the kursk region and others. zelenskyi stated this in his speech appeals more about... onka we will now talk with ivan karychevsky, a military expert of defense express. mr. ivan,

we welcome you. good day well, let's start with the actual consequences that we talked about yesterday: four airfields were damaged during the night attacks of the previous day, the previous day. we already received video and satellite images in such a patchy way , we just saw what was there. destruction , we know that the places where fuel was stored, the special fuel that migs need to fly and terrorize the whole ukraine with the prospect of a dagger flying. so, do you have any more information as to how you assess these strikes as of today and does that mean there will be less anxiety, less migs, how will these strikes affect their ability to attack us? here is such a specific story that, let's say, if we look exclusively

at satellite images, then we will not fully assess the results of these strikes, including the strategic ones, but the story looks like this, indeed, on the one hand, there were visual confirmations of what, for example, there on one of the airfields of tactical aviation was seized by the so-called technical operational part, roughly speaking, let's call it a garage where planes usually pass there. various maintenance, and at the slavosleika airfield, where the mig-31 is based, the planes are basically mig-31, because the mi-31 bm interceptors eat, and they were also based there, and the mi-31k dagger carriers, which were seized there one of the fuel warehouses for those planes, the specifics of the fuel there is that, in theory , any aviation kerosene can be filled into the mih 31, but to develop speed for the tasks that are really necessary, well... to accelerate to launch the dagger missile, there you need special t-6 kerosene, which is produced,

to put it mildly, not at all oil refineries, and that's it can and is used only on mig 31s, if there is no such fuel, accordingly, the plane cannot accelerate either to launch a dagger or to intercept air targets, m, on the one hand , it turns out that if it were possible, from a formal point of view, this strike would not brought so much of the results, because yesterday there were also video frames that allowed us to skip that suddenly there was even a hit on one of the planes, but the satellite has not shown this yet, but on the other hand, we should look at what from the rubric that we do not see in the kursk region and on other territories of the russians, for now there are still military operations going on in russian territories, and we do not see there, unfortunately, the traditional tactics of the russian occupiers, wherever you know, bomb everything that does not yet resemble a lunar landscape , just in time for the monthly period. landscape and even, if you look at the establishment of our general staff, even in the east , the russians began

dropping guided air bombs somewhat less than usual in the east, well, if earlier there could have been even more than a hundred dropped guided air bombs, now there were approximately 70-80 there, if we roughly generalize, respectively this is all i am leading to, even if the satellite images there do not yet show any large-scale destruction, but the main goal of these strikes has been achieved . kamikaze drones watched the activity of russian tactical aviation, according to this forces them, well, the occupiers, to somewhat reduce the activity of their own aviation there, well, in the east of ukraine, in principle - it greatly limits their ability to use classic manned aviation in the kurdistan region, which in turn contributes to our certain military successes, because, again, it is a betrayal of justice, even if the problem does not disappear, that there are russian migs, carrying daggers, will take off from other airfields and create a threatening situation for us, but what is the importance of the mih-31 bm interceptor, because these are

sufficiently dangerous planes that can to shoot down any air targets at a distance of 200 km, but it turns out that at least for some time these planes from the sevosliyka airfield will not be able to do this, accordingly, there will be more opportunities for maneuver, which the american publication forbes even decided to write about there, which , for example, even our planes surrendered in the border region of the kursk region, which were performing their tasks of defeating the russian invaders. well, you mentioned the kursk region, i want to mention today's event, it seems to me a real event, because for according to the data of our security service, this is in... it is about the one-time capture of more than 100 russian prisoners of war, it is about the akhmat unit, and actually it is about the fact that this is indeed the most massive capture of the enemy , which was carried out at one time, mr. ivan, well, in general, there is little information about this

operation, but maybe your military circles know something more about it, well, first of all, not much is being said, because it was actually carried out by the relevant special services, but secondly, if there to basically to understand what happened, then give us a more precise idea, it was not a handover of polo there, not a taking, but just a capture, that’s firstly, and secondly, well, they didn’t sit there, forgive me, they didn’t wait for me to take them, it turns out, our special forces carried out a successful operation to storm the enemy's fortified defense point, that is, it turns out that simply at some stage the garrison of this fortified point stopped resisting, because it realized that... prospectively, and so it is, well, in some ways, even the final stage of the karabakh war, when the azerbaijani special forces are already there were used for such assault actions, they stormed armenian fortified points, and there was even a story that storming shusha, or whatever that city was, was important to them, that the azerbaijani ssos went with knives in their hands, well, that is, it demonstrates, and that then

this demonstrated the degree of fierceness of the battles, which is now the story, when the russians were holed up in a strong fortified... underground point, having all the supplies for resistance, and there it was not like the commanders ran, but 100 russians were waiting for them to be taken there , me, resistance these russians also had to be overcome and the like, this just illustrates how tough and difficult the fighting in kurshchyna is going now, and in principle it was going on all the previous two weeks, because i personally observe such a slightly strange trend, when we have too much hurry to thicken the paint about what is happening, or on the contrary, oversimplify, trying to show that it is such an easy walk. there, all that is left to the door is for the ukrainian soldiers to knock it out and take everything forward, but no, the pace of advancement, which are based on official data, i.e. 35 km in 2 weeks, or roughly one, two or 3 km per day, they just demonstrate that the enemy there is constantly resisting, these are 100 prisoners, they are also here, it turns out that our

special forces captured captured as a result of a tough operation that had to be carried out, this simply illustrates at the same time... but all the results that are happening there, including the replenishment of the exchange fund, are not given at a simple price, that's what should be understood from everything that happened . mr. ivan, if you are already at kurshchyna, we understand that they did not wait for us there, accordingly, they did not have all the reserves that the eastern front currently has, in particular, neither the means of reb in sufficient quantity, nor the fpv drones in such a quantity as they work in the same pokrov direction, and we understand that this also makes it a bit easier to some extent. now the life of our soldiers in the kurshchyna, in fact, what allows this is so short, we think the period until they have enough, in particular , fives, for example, i read among tankmen that such smiling and satisfied tankmen as in kurshchyna, now our soldiers have not seen it for a long time, but i would not hesitate to assert

that the russians have nothing there, there are no slaves, there are no half-breeds, that there are none at all, but not such a number, not such a huge number, as there are at the front . well, look, it's all right, smiling can arise due to raising morale, due to the fact that we are advancing on the enemy's territory. here, perhaps, the issue is that the number of operators is not sufficient, and the plus issue may not be how many drones the russians have, but rather the density of drones from our side, which there was a fault, well, it arose, because this is a characteristic feature, let's say so, of materials in public access that circulate there, in particular, photos of western correspondents who... for some reason photographed our armored vehicles, it is rare there that our armored vehicles do not ride without a mobile reb on board, nothing really drives yet, so the question here is simply that it is not that the russians did not have time to concentrate something there. that at least for a small grouping of our troops, which was allocated in the kursk region, it was possible to equip a sufficient number of means of electronic warfare, i just suspect that there is not a lot of equipment,

to put it mildly, that's why it was necessary, well, that's why it was possible to create such an effect, it's not about a lack of resources, it's more about the fact that at this stage our radio electronics, drones were able to beat their russian opponents, let's call them that, which in general prevail in terms of resources, plus... here's another thing to understand, based on the publicly available data that is already available, and the fact that the russians are there on various sections of the kurdish direction, there are up to 10 brigades that were there before were spotted on the eastern front and even so they began to scramble, you can’t take away their reports, so apparently, all these units, with the same means they used against our military in the east, they were preparing to act on the kurshchyna, for them it was not a factor of suddenness that our military is attacking there, it could simply be a story that despite all... objective data that could be there, that the russians are transferring some of their units there, are starting to set up supplies, are accumulating drones, then there it could simply have been a surprise for the russians

that our military did strike from the rubric of nothing, they struck first, and it sprinkled the enemy’s defenses, accordingly , the fact that we don’t see something there now from publicly available data does not mean that there is no such thing, especially since, for that matter, various western swinters, they find out places. where they can be under the control of our or not our military, just from the videos that the russians publish from their drones, that is , even there, such a tactical advantage of our the use of drones, it is not , you know, full-scale, so it is better not to proceed from the fact that the russians do not have something there, it is better, you know, to proceed from the logic that we simply somehow managed to outdo the enemy in the use of limited resources, therefore that later in practice they show that it turns out that there were too many russians, they just couldn't use it for some reason. mr. ivan, you are right in saying that we should not be fascinated by the successes that are currently happening in kursk, because meanwhile the russians

gradually, but they are still occupying our donetsk region, and deeppstate analysts say that during the last day they occupied zhelane and orlivka, advanced in the direction of new york, krasnohorivka, mykolaivka and zhuravka in donetsk region, now we see what is possible if our military the command was a hundred. to the fact that the enemy wanted to push back certain of his forces from the directions where an active offensive is now taking place, unfortunately, this did not happen. how do you generally assess the current events in the pokrovsk region, what is it worth get ready well, you have to prepare for everything at the same time, but let's record once again that the russians began to transfer some units from the east even before the formal start of active, well, hostilities in the kursk region, that is, well, this is my assumption, but it is, you know, logical, because right away, send a few fingers. you cannot remove the brigades from vovchansky, pokrovsky there from the temporary ravine, you cannot transfer them to korshchyna in two days, there is too much logistical work, so in some ways it is possible that it was just the calculation

justified that the russians will pull back some of the units, it is just possible that it was not possible to achieve the depth of advance that we could have hoped for, but we do not know to the end, maybe even the depth that is, it is unexpected for our military command, and there the task was simply to disrupt a possible attack on the sum. accordingly , simply not knowing to the end the plans in the framework of which the idea for this operation in kursk was formed, we cannot reflect on how successful it all was, because suddenly there was simply a task to prevent the russians from attacking the sums and instead of simply pondering whether the russians are moving to pokrovsk or not, we would still have to discuss with you how far the russians are from sumy, that is why this is such a complicated story, and yes , we are entering the stage of the war when we have to prepare at the same time. of all the scenarios, that on the one hand, there is unpleasant, negative news that the russians are not stopping the movement in the pokrovsk direction, and on the other hand, that general moskalyov will head the military command in the kursk region, and it turns out

that we have these dispositions that the russians they are trying to take more in the east, and we will take more in the chicken, in order to then cut off the russians' logistical communications that feed their troops in donbas, they will have to continue the current hostilities, just judging by everything, maybe if someone managed to prepare... what will it be a kind of territorial exchange, like we are coming from khurshchyna, and the russians are coming from the pokrov region, well, this is definitely not a problem of our military planners, if such attitudes have arisen in society. thank you, mr. ivan, for the deep and multifaceted analysis of the situation. ivan kyrychevsky was with us, defense-express military expert. we'll take a short break now. and then we will learn about what is happening in zaporozhye. by the way, he will also ask. our guest about whether someone from the evacuees from kurshchyna is already being transported there, because it was announced in russia that in the occupied territory to berdyanshchyna, on
