the weight of both the airframe and the engines, respectively, the load of intensive hostilities depletes the resource even more, these aircraft have already been noticed several times, they cannot take on board a full missile-bomb load, respectively, they are charged for half, for two/thirds of the calculated launch of missiles as well as drag on... more load on the structure of the aircraft and it is natural that they gradually lose their ability, being heavier than air, well, they regularly fall, the more often this will happen, the better for us, but until the last plane is destroyed, they will pose a threat to us, and well, we will continue to go round and round, well, you know, here is a question about at what stage? in your opinion, this operation is located,

but on the one hand, we do not know the final plan of this operation, because we did not develop it so precisely, but in principle according to certain indicators that we now have and an understanding of the events that are taking place, well, let's say, appoint the commandant of those territories that are being liberated from the kremlin regime today, let's call it that, because it actually is that way and there is, in your opinion, what is the stage of this operation, it is just beginning, just developing? and what prospect is visible already, please no, without knowing the purpose of the operation, nothing can be said about what stage the operation is at at any given moment, we can say that we have now occupied a certain territory of the russian federation, and the fact that the commandant of the occupied territories was appointed yesterday during the stake meeting indicates that we have a civilized...

attitude to waging war, because those who occupied the territory, assumes responsibility for ensuring the livelihood of the population, the functioning of law enforcement agencies in the occupied territories, and a host of other measures that allow, in principle, to support the livelihood of this territory, the functioning of critical infrastructure, the provision, well, at least of the basic necessities of the population that remains on these territories. maintaining the functioning of the accident and disaster response system, maintaining the functioning of the health care system, that is, the appointment of general moskalev shows that we are a civilized country that takes a responsible attitude to its international obligations, this is definitely one of the points of the deployment of the network of commanders, because to maintain order in these territories, to carry out anti-terrorist, anti-sabotage measures. someone

will have to, but they will also have to solve very simple questions, such as how to fill pharmacies with medicines, and shops with bread and basic necessities, so i think that no one will say now at what stage the operation is, but we see that the command of the armed forces, the military-political leadership of ukraine is taking the right steps. well, as for bread, medicine, water, what people need, so what, what? here, ukrainians can collect, of course, everything they need, and the state can provide it, and partners, well, actually, the issue is only in the security situation, and the publication bloomberg, against the background of the events in kursk, predicts the need for mobilization in russia, but more than one is already talking about this day, that it is politically unprofitable for putin, secondly, it is even more money, thirdly, russia is in principle willing even go on a contract, it decreases sharply among the population, your estimates of the probability of mobilization? on the other

hand, what are conscripts, well, actually, these are mobilized guys, they were mobilized, they were given automatic weapons, signed a contract, and now we see what they are doing, they surrender en masse , again, there is no euphoria here , but this is simply an obvious fact of mass surrender, well, in the perspective of mobilized russians, will the kremlin go for it and what can it fundamentally change, because again , the mobilization of people who are not ready for war, who it is necessary to teach, this is not a day, not two, not a week, let's first... untangle everything that you just said: a conscript soldier does not sign any contracts with anyone, he is not in the perspective of the type who signed the contract, well he already has a weapon, but a conscript is a person who has been called up for a certain time, of course, and even now we are observing that military personnel of the spring 2024 draft are rushing to the combat zone in order to at least somehow increase the group, the enemy has no choice, he has no how to react to this situation that

as for the mobilized, they also do not sign any contracts, the state forcibly takes them from civilian life, puts on military uniforms, gives them weapons and sends them away. to the front, if the enemy's goal is to achieve the goal of its military special military operation, then without mobilization to increase the grouping, form strategic reserves and achieve a fundamental turning point in the war, at least reach a position from which it will strategically dominate and in particular on... field of change regarding the end of hostilities, without mobilizing this goal russia will achieve today can't as for contract workers, today the recruiting system supplies them in such volumes that allow to compensate

losses for losses at the front, but the enemy does not have the physical ability to increase the number in this way. and here we can only recall the experience of the second world war, of course there was mass mobilization then. but let's not forget that these people were clothed, shod, armed and often fed by western partners who organized lend-lease for the ussr army, so now putin does not have a lend-lease, and for such the situation at the front, we will see whether he will have a lend-lease from north korea and other partner countries there, so now the situation is a little different, and with some of the western partners, we are not at all, the soviet union was in a state of war, so in the end very briefly still active actions, perhaps some unexpected for our partners of the armed forces of ukraine, but successful, in any case it is a success, what we see on the battlefield will force those people who make decisions to allow such defense forces, armed forces of ukraine on enemy territory,

to use skal, tikastams, stormsheds and other types of weapons, meaning primarily missiles. i think that our western partners have a sufficiently powerful intelligence apparatus, and our preparation for actions on the territory of the kurt region was not a big secret for them, but whether this will affect the obtaining of permits to use modern models, primarily long-range weapons, defeat, i do not think so i think the main reason is because... no one will give us such permission, this is my personal opinion, thank you very much, thanks for joining, thanks for your comments, viktor kevlyuk, military expert

of the center for defense strategies. yes, we continue the great ether, you know, when i hear a phrase, this phrase, so that it does not lead to an escalation of the conflict, i want this, this phenomenon, the escalation of the conflict, you will see, and now what is this, well, for now, only lukashenko threatens with nuclear weapons, we don't actually hear that from putin, it's just that what kind of escalation should there be, well, in general, we will now talk with our guests, we will continue, of course. the military results of the day were completed, and now we will talk about the situation in the nikopol region, and there are topics related to the nikopol region that are worth discussing, dmytro bochko, acting as the head of the nikopol district council, if he is already in touch with us, then great, not yet, and , that's why i always really

want to see what the escalation of the conflict is, well, let them explain, because you know, there is a subject, there is a definition of something, first a phenomenon appears, then. we find its definition and describe this or that phenomenon, this is a scientific approach, a descriptive approach. when they say conflict escalation, what is it? russia, well, by the way, i mentioned today my good friend, who is now in the armed forces of ukraine, kyril sazonov, he showed a video where drones fall on the savasleika airfield, and theirs explode there, in my opinion, it was possible 31k, if i'm not mistaken, and kirill writes about the fact that, imagine, these were falling atakams, well, of course there will be a greater charge, especially since you can shoot with cassette atakams, which will simply turn everything that is nearby into a resha, but understand that for a military plane, and for any, but even for a military one, any damage to the fuselage, there is a tail, this is a repair, this is for a long time, he, he will not fly

into the sky and launch a rocket for a long time, it seems so, so we want to wait for what we were told, the escalation of the conflict is this, and then it will be it is clear what everyone because apart from a nuclear war, in my opinion, nothing more terrible is happening now, everything that could be more terrible is already happening. dmytro bachko, acting head of the nikopol district council. mr. dmitry, i congratulate you. and good evening, yes, you have your own war, which has been going on for the third year and the enemy is constant shelling nobody has started, i would first of all like, of course, to start with the situation without a package, here is the situation for the last day, how this day passed, were there any shellings, of what nature, from the side of the enemy, and also the consequences, please, well, i tell you i can say that the gorog is constantly attacking the city of nikopol and the nikopol district, this has been going on for a very long time. and it happens every day, and the enemy terrorizes the local

population, local business, large enterprises, the enemy attacks with artillery, the enemy attacks with drones, today only today more than 10 drones, well, it is very difficult to count them, there will be official information, because there are very, very often attacks by drones, artillery , etc., and what is very difficult to sum up, because they continue both at night and during the day. in the morning, it catches people during the day when they go to work, when they go for a walk with their children, and this, unfortunately, such a terror of the nikopol district is happening, i would like to say that we know for sure that just in in the nikopol district, we see precisely the terror of our citizens, and when people, i don't know how to consider them, it's hard to call them not people when they direct drones into cars. who helps, when they kill civilians, when they direct drones into the windows of high-rise buildings,

when they specifically drop these supplies on people walking through the city, this is simply terror of the population of our city, our district, and this terror of ukraine, and it continues, and all these the assembly that you support, and all of ukraine, this is very important, because all this can stop only in one case, when ukraine wins, and here... well, you just said about an ambulance, of course, a military evac is not a military one, not an ambulance, but it is still a medical vehicle that, in principle, must be protected even in the conditions of hostilities, because it evacuates the wounded, but i will just remind you once again that yesterday hospitalist oleksandra mike mulkevych, call me mike, died when a russian drone hit a car in kharkiv oblast, this just once again proves the hostile character. enemy, but it would seem, i think, everyone already understands why it is not so easy to knock out the enemy from the left bank

of what used to be the kakhov sea, and therefore that the enemy is sitting there near the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant or not far from it, in any case , serious shelling of that territory, there is some conditional barrage of fire at the enemy, it can lead to very tragic consequences, and very often it can be not the reverse, but we read and ... watched a video a few days ago, how the zaporizhia nuclear power plant was burning, it is more or less clear what happened there, although it is not very clear, and magate experts are not allowed there on the spot, please tell me, based on your information, what is there occurred, and if the radiation background is measured, then whether or not it changed during the last days, i think that you have these measurements every day, they are probably carried out there by the relevant services, the radiation... background is in normal mode, this is the most important thing, in relation to the provocation that

was taking place, the connection was lost, now we i hope we will return, you know, the russians always create a picture when they want to scare someone, everything, please continue, i see, and the main thing is that the radiation standards are at a normal level, within the norms, and... the main provocation that took place on the territory of the zaporizhia station, it is, let's say, another, let's say, case when terrorists are making provocations in the territory around the zaporizhia nuclear power plant and the zaporizhia nuclear power plant itself in order to terrorize the whole world in this way, and it is truly terrible when the largest nuclear power plant in europe is terrorized and controlled by terrorists and criminals who in any what moment can they make a... irreparable for the whole world, for all of europe, including for ukraine, and to be honest, of course, we don't know enough

information about what was happening there, it looked very terrible when the residents the people of minskopol district can see from their windows and gardens when the territory of the zaporozhye nuclear power plant is on fire, but the presence of magate, when it is, so to speak, does not reach there, and in general, even when it is there, the residents of nikopol district have big questions about the activities of magate. because , unfortunately , there is no influence on, let's say, the terrorists who were captured there from magate itself, and that is why, of course, such information that comes from the territory of the au, it is minimal. but the most important thing is that equal indicators are all in normal, you just know, when you look at what they produce, well, there are these pipes where the cooling takes place, as far as i understand, these are the installations that act on the cooling, someone says that the tires were burning rubber, it stank in zaporizhzhia, they told me, but even if it wasn’t there, the radiation background is normal, which means that

there was no leakage of radioactive materials, elements, this is already a big plus, but you know, even specialists... appointed by moscow to the chernobyl nuclear power plant, doing a certain experiment, led to , that the chernobyl nuclear power plant was engaged and happened explosion, and therefore what these people are doing, it may seem to them that nothing bad will happen, but we understand that this is a rather complex science, and here, unfortunately, it can be, it can be everything, i am still talking about the water supply , which, thank god, was done, it was discovered how it works, whether the tariff for this water increases for people. how did it change the life of the community? well, of course, we have been waiting for this for a very long time, the residents of the nikopol district have been waiting, because the terrorists who blew up the kakhovskaya hydroelectric power plant and thus stopped many residents of our region, the lack of a centralized water supply, the water returned to the taps, and

the strengthening continues, so that all these people in the nikopol district receive this water, so this project has already... started and of course it was such a huge state project that was implemented in wartime, it is very it was incredibly difficult, because the enemy tried all this time to disrupt the construction of the water main, terrorized, and the successful implementation of this project is very important, and it restores, let's say, a great service that our residents need so much, namely water. because living without water in the 21st century is... it was a very long and difficult year for the residents of our district. the tariff, the state regulated in order for it to stop, did not remain as it was originally expected over a large one, which could very much reject local budgets, and the budgets of local families, let's say this, that it was an extremely difficult issue, but the state leveled this tariff with the relevant regulations,

and let's say, the tariff will not be as large as planned. significant, which appeared, let's say so, in the press, let's say, in order to he was, so we are very grateful to the state authorities who felt that this tariff and this runoff should be in such a case so that his people could pay for these water supply services, so it is very important, and the residents of the nikopol district received such such a necessary service, which they did not receive for a year, at all. to live, work, provide children with rest abroad, works with charitable foundations, creates certain jobs, prepares for the educational process, and this is very important, despite the fact that in that territory and there were provocative attacks and daily shelling, our people are self-motivated and we are very

grateful to them for not losing their optimism, living and working for victory. thank you very much, mr. dmitry, take care. dmytro bechko, acting as the head of the nikopol district council, talks about daily enemy shelling, about the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, about how this heroic community lives in a generally humanitarian manner, which has chosen a shooting range for the enemy, but there are , unfortunately, living people , so far it is not difficult to knock out the enemy from the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant from the left bank, let's say this, we understand why, but now we will talk about domestic political... topics and problems, volodymyr tsevulko joins us, he is a politician, political scientist and people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you. congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. first of all , i will start with what is the initiative regarding, well, it is not an initiative, not an initiative, it is a voiced decision, regarding the creation of a commandant's office for

the liberation of the territory of the kurdish region of russia from the kremlin's bandit rule federation. and the appointment of major general maskalov as commander, what does this step mean, how should it be perceived by our partners, how should it be perceived in kurshchyna itself, what we, what message we made, well, in general, international law for such cases provided for many different scenarios, and ukraine does not need to invent anything here, because since these are, let's say, liberated territories, while there is a threat of renewed fighting and it is impossible to hold elections to local self-government bodies, then it is necessary, well, actually... to rely on military commandant's offices, and the creation of such a commandant's office, it is connected with, well, firstly, with maintaining the vital activities of these territories,

secondly, according to international law, we must maintain some kind of judiciary and local self-government there, that is, some communication with the local active self-government must to line up, especially since these are battles in the zone. there are women and children in the fighting, that is, a vulnerable category, here we also need to think about how to ensure their rights, according to international law, so it seems to me that here, in contrast to its occupiers in buch, er, the ukrainian army has not only civilized relations, but also care for the civilian population, you know, now, well, regarding the humanitarian corridors that are planned to be opened, there are certain reservations, our journalist wrote about this, who, by the way, well

, a military journalist, he was on the front line, artem lagutenko, wrote about the fact that there is such a very important moment here, that russia has, well, so that it does not look like the russians imported of ukrainian citizens on the territory of russia forcibly, and actually, well, that's it like kidnapping, and then russia should forgive the ukrainian side about rescuing people from the war zone, and how, and if russia does not ask for it, and because it does not care about its own people in principle, we understand this perfectly, if it leaves people behind, yes, we have an initiative, we are ready to open the corridors, please, maybe we don’t want to go to belarus, well, we are ready just to ensure the safe departure of people from the combat zone, that’s all, but if russia says, and we don’t ask about nothing, let them sit there... it's okay, and then what about us, how for the ukrainian side to act in this situation, to say that we are just saving them, well , legally, well, there are international

regulations for this in general, that is, a country that controls a certain armed territory, it is obliged, for example, to help, for example , reunification of families, or relocation of civilians. if on the territory of the country, the citizenship they have, that is, we now have a lot of such, well, nervous ukrainians who say why should we drag the population from kursk to our territory, wait, but there they go battles, ukrainian troops cannot, where there is a zone of impression, and here there is another point, the fact is that we know for sure that russia will act as a provocateur, that is, it will disguise its military in civilian clothes, in civilian clothes, to attack

the ukrainian troops, the ukrainian troops will destroy these militants, then moscow will shout that those who shot civilians were in fact overreacted soldiers, and there is a lot more, well, there is also the issue of criminality in the occupied territories. that is, there needs to be a policeman there the corps, the ukrainian military police is needed, well, there is more, well, according to international law, how, if some local police were left there, how to act taking into account, well , the present police, because the police, in fact, is not an unarmed contingent, it is, well in fact, let's say, there are service weapons there, there should even be automatic weapons in the departments in... and not the defense of the territory, that's what, but taking into account russian traditions,

they will throw at everything that is connected with the state to the war, that is , there will be a very interesting story here, because now we are we are watching when, well, even the sbu today detained more than 100, that is, well, armed russians, military personnel. including the chechens, kadyrivians, and in this sense, here we have, on the one hand, well, let's say, the geneva convention in relation to the military, this is one thing, but there are the rights of civilians, and in this sense we must to demonstrate a completely different type of behavior, because we all know perfectly well what russia is doing in mariupol to this day, therefore... now a paradoxical story arises, when we must protect the rights of those people who waved flags and wished for victory

in the 22nd year, when... russian columns were going to attack ukraine, but now this is a civilian population, which is in the liberated areas, and we need to think about how to establish contacts with them , how to ensure some kind of something, here in any case i will say that if we want, well, russia will not finally disappear anywhere, we have to understand that, maybe some of its borders will change, but in principle this formation will exist, and if we want at least to change something, we definitely have to show that we are not like that, well, we are... but i will ask your opinion here the topic is quite complicated, but it reminds me of, you know, the chainmail scandal, this story about the downing of a transport passenger plane, which was allegedly forced to take over ukraine, it reminds me of something, the detonation of the northern streams, there was information that this was done on the order of a citizen

of ukraine in... volodymyr z, i don't know who he is, with the support of some other ukrainians, dark-haired, something, he is so short , dark-haired, but i don't know, maybe tall, tall blond in red shoes, but i lead to the fact that it is there they are starting to spread the word that allegedly volodymyr zelenskyi, the western media write, gave verbal, oral permission to do this, then it seems that he did not give written permission, but they already did, and then... they are detained there, a warrant is issued for the arrest of a ukrainian, then here it seems that they are involved and the poles are in this, we are talking about the blowing up of gas pipelines in the nord stream and in the baltic sea, but please tell me what kind of special operation this is, whether something was really investigated there and suddenly they found a trace, well, first of all , ukraine does not have the technical capabilities to act in the baltic and north seas, we do not have

well, here they were... thinking up a plot, which, by the way, the andromeda yacht, or what it was called, i don't remember, there was some yacht there, just promoting all this kremlin gossip about yulia latina, they through these good russians who here they grazed on their banks, i must say, so they twisted and twisted this topic, but technically, well, with a civilian scuba diving with some kind of dynamite, they did it. impossible, everyone knows this very well, that in order to blow up such a pipeline at depth, you need to have a lot of different interesting equipment, here we have a history, by the way, in addition to the northern stream, there is also, well, not an explosion, but let's say a rupture, the baltic pipe of the baltic gas pipeline, which is between estonia and finland, then... all this

was calculated that it was done by the broken anchor of some chinese dry cargo ship, so you need to understand what mass of explosives and techniques, what equipment should be used in order to carry it out, so, well, this is mythology, it may be pleasing, but they always attribute there, for example, a colonel cherminsky, and by the way, the same yulia latinivna is constantly raising that this is kerninsky's operation, it's great. yes, and briefly, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi , called on the council to meet urgently to resolve three important issues, including depriving traitors of state awards, determining the pay and everything else for the military operating in kurtshchyna, and there is also the issue of organizing work in kursk oblast , in your opinion, the council will meet, decide urgently, maybe even a

couple of days... the russian orthodox church in ukraine will be banned, and thank god it would be. well, there is for now information that the conciliation council decided on august 19 to start the work of the council. ugh. not an extraordinary, but a regular session should be opened, and the first question there should be the question of the uoc mp. ugh. that is, in four days, and actually from monday. well, maybe the president wanted to meet tomorrow, because there are a lot of issues here. firstly, payments, secondly, we... well, there, but i think that the council will work out everything that depends on it now, it will do it, and thank you very much for joining in, thank you for your professional comments, volodymyr tsibulko, political scientist and the people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation was in touch with us, well, literally in a moment the news was on the big airwaves, good evening, we are from ukraine, today, you see, i am doing everything, well , together with my colleagues, now the news,

let's go. russian troops at approximately 3:30 p.m.
