what lessons have been learned and what we will never forget in the tape 10 years of war exclusively on the air of the espresso tv channel. in ukraine, at 5 p.m., the news department will talk about the main thing. annaeva melnyk is with you. greetings to all espresso viewers. the ukrainian military occupied the village of koraneva in the kursk region. photos of fighters in this settlement were shared by domestic telegram channels, although there is no official confirmation from the general staff yet. at the same time, the deep state resource also presents the root as under the control of the armed forces. it. while

the furthest point from the ukrainian border, it lies 25 km from our border. also , the occupiers began to retreat from the eastern bank of the seim river in kurshchyna, propagandist media write. previously, the russians blew up two bridges in the region before the offensive of the armed forces, and the local residents of tetkino and neighboring villages were evacuated. volodymyr zelenskyi held a meeting, in particular listened to reports. commander-in-chief oleksandr syrsky regarding the situation in the kursk region. according to the general, our troops advanced up to 1.5 km in some areas. currently, the armed forces control 82 settlements of russia also, the occupiers replenished the exchange fund for our state - noted sirskyi. volodymyr zelenskyy held an online meeting with representatives of the all-ukrainian council of churches. the president called for support. a draft law

on ridding the church of moscow influence, namely banning the activities of the russian orthodox church. the head of state emphasized that the occupiers are using the russian church to suppress the independence of other states. we know who we are fighting with and against whom we are fighting. the russians will not leave us alone as long as they have any opportunity to influence through any institutions. therefore... we have to be independent and adults, there is no other way out to survive, which means to win, because without victory we will not survive, there is simply no other way out. the russians hit kramatorsk in donetsk region, one of the rockets hit a two-story building, the others hit an industrial zone, rescuers pulled a man out from under the rubble, notified the state emergency service, and a gas pipeline was also damaged due to the attack. a seven-year-old

boy was injured as a result of the shelling of friendship in sumy oblast, the regional police reported prosecutor's office the russians hit the city with artillery, now the child is receiving medical care, there is no threat to life. in kyiv , they said goodbye to the combat medic of the hospital battalion, oleksandra mulkevich, nicknamed mike. oleksandra was buried at the baiko cemetery, hundreds of people came to honor the memory of the hospitalist. relatives, friends, military and caring ukrainians. let me remind you that oleksandr molkevych was killed by russian invaders on august 14 while performing a combat mission in the kharkiv region. then the muscovites hit the evacuation vehicle with a drone. eternal memory and glory to the heroes who gave their most precious lives for ukraine. they carry out combat missions around the clock, cover the infantry and destroy the invaders. ukrainian aviation since the beginning of russia's full-scale war in ukraine.

is being modernized, our pilots are constantly training to work more effectively on the battlefield. the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine showed how army aviation pilots practice their skills on mi-24 and mi-8 helicopters. so, let's see. we are now in the mi-8 helicopter. i am the one in the pilot's office. and we we do the training. ukrainian pilots train to perform tasks on mi-24 and mi-8 helicopters. armored, transport and combat aircraft. before departure, they are carefully checked by engineers. a visual inspection is carried out, the serviceability and reliability of fastening of all units, all types of weapons is carried out. this is the cabin of the crew commander, he, the controls are, let's say, standard, like all of them. this cabin, this is the operator's pilot, well

, accordingly, the instructor is still sitting here, the important thing is that one door opens on the right and the others open. this is on the left , let's say so that it would be possible to enter and exit in the event that, for example, the board lay on one side, so that it would not happen that both holes were clamped. vladyslav has already made more than 200 sorties since the beginning of russia's full-scale war against ukraine. after the engineers, he conducts a pre-flight inspection. must check not only his workplace, but also the entire helicopter. final preparations and the plane takes off. the sky, the cameraman at his workplace, i 'm shooting this to show what's around you will definitely not hear anything from the helicopter, the helicopter has already been started for 10 minutes, during this time absolutely all units of the helicopter are checked, starting from the engine,

ending with the propellers, we are preparing the youth for the successful, successful destruction of the orcs that came to our land. as well as regular checks to maintain the level of ready crews, sub-canopy flight, where it is a simulation of flight in the clouds, where there is no visibility, codes, when we fly by instruments, a pilot flight will also be performed on duplicating instruments, this is an additional simulation of failure, failure of clouds, failure of devices, so that a person does not get lost, so that... he knew what to do, where to look, how to pilot, that is why everyone is afraid when a helicopter approaches them, that is, it is scarier than artillery, a special task is to practice flights at night, it is much more difficult to fly at night, if it is some

specific flights, it is very beautiful, but it is difficult to navigate visually, because you cannot see, you can navigate by some populated areas, lights, and so on, and... plus, if there are any unusual situations, then it is added to you, you do not see the ground, you you need to orient yourself more by the instruments, and yes, it's cool, it shakes less, there is less turbulence at night, because the ground is already evenly cooled, and actually it's a thrill to fly at night. the main task of our aviators is to cover the infantry, they strike at enemy positions, stop offensives, and support assault actions. khrystyna parobiy, espresso tv channel. collective and individual memory was held in irpen on the initiative of the city council. public hearings were held regarding the place of commemoration of the heroes. specialists from

the institute of national remembrance and the kyiv school of economics talked about ethics, memorialization and shared the best modern examples. on the day of memory of defenders. the ukrainian community will present ideas, and later a vote will be held in irpen. for many, of course, their individuality is very important. and we want to show that it is not only a plaque on our lyceum or in the yard of a high-rise building, it is not only a memorialization, memorialization is much, much more, and today we want to show all the latest practices to our community the experience of patience is not the most successful. that is, this is a very deep study of the memorial space, great, great attention to detail, and not only is there a group of people who are researching something, not about something, but first of all, there is already the first memorial, and in my opinion, for example, very successful volya's memorial, it was implemented by the caring

citizens of irpen with the support of the local authorities. the espresso tv channel and the vesna charitable fund opened a fundraiser for the purchase today. of them drones and electronic warfare systems for the third separate assault brigades of the 110th and 47th brigades of the central military district. the defenders in the donnet region every day hold back enemy attacks, defend our freedom and future. it was these soldiers who stood to the last and defended the avdiyiv direction in the spring. the brigades urgently need flying weapons and modern means of combating enemy drones. our goal is 3.5 million, with your help we have already collected more than uah 1 million. join, all details. you see on the screen. that's all i have, i'll see you at 6 p.m., i'll wait for you in the final news release. more about you can always read important things on our website espresso.tv. until we meet again , meet bright mykola veresnya. be

with espresso. good health, lady! gentlemen, my name is mykola veresen, today is august 17, today is 17:10.28 seconds, saturday, and we are starting, or rather, continuing our marathon, on this occasion we are, as always, at the forefront of events on various fronts, ivan kirichevsky, military expert defense express, will now appear, i hope, before our eyes, bright, and we will talk with him. thank you mr. ivan, for joining our program. thank you, now you will take my exam, i have been talking to you for so long that

maybe i have learned something during these 2 and a half years of war. so, look, there are a lot of topics, and questions, and russians, and good russian, bad russian, and disgusting russian, and dirty, even russian, and what is meant by ukrainian, ukrainian, the ukrainian general staff, the ukrainian president, that's it. .. and i thought this, that means ticket number 23, so the answer is student veresen, mykola, so look, i have the impression was that it would not be worse, let's attack, we will have a short raid there, and a raid, fine, there will be a long raid, fine, we can stay for two weeks, great. for a month it’s great, for a year it’s perfect in general, we prepare so that

we can enter, that we can leave, that we have all the possibilities, we prepare the trenches, we prepare this, that, and in principle we don’t lose anything, then i have the impression that any which result of the operation does not cause any harm to ukraine, whether i am right or not, mr. professor, what mr. professor, but you know, here we have to get out of this... what, perhaps, the most maximal goal that was set before this operation was simply to prevent the russians from advancing on the sums, that 's all, that is, without this whole complex of effects that arose after the sunset of our troops on the territory of the russian federation, that is , the question of how long we will be able to stay there, how long, how to legally formalize all this, because now we need to adopt a separate law that would fix the status of our troops on the territory of the kursk region, this everything happened apparently so casually that no one even planned it. well, because for some reason we all collectively got the impression that the russians were there on that side

of the kursk region, they had no aggressive plans there, there was no advantage in artillery, there was no accumulation of manpower, there was no air support, and they they didn't prepare for anything there, except to put up billboards, welcom, come in, please, take everything that is lying badly, no, unfortunately, the russians put minefields there, built fortifications, had oxen there all the time artillery bombardment, precisely expecting that we... from that side would sooner or later not fall on them, and apparently a decision was somehow made to at least somehow justify these expectations of the russians that they would be attacked from that side, if only to to prevent any actions on land in sumy region, if we talk about the possible development of events from what we can have in mind, then it is obvious that no one is going to leave that territory now, because the russians refused to negotiate, they declared that they are there all that only you can tear it, it's great, so you have to move on. to cut logistical communications, which are initially of tactical importance for the russian group, then,

if you look carefully at the map of the russian infrastructure, then there and the creation of logistical support for the russian occupiers in donbas is not as far as it might seem at first glance, so i think that this campaign will continue until the moment when the russian occupiers, who are now moving towards pokrovsk, begin to acutely feel the shell, the lack of shells, no more and no less, in this case, the issue of nasty, good... spend other russian ones on them, it may even be secondary, because we have the task of cutting through russian communications, no more and no less. this is now my question, the next one, how did you feel, mr. professor, and it really is so, now they destroyed this bridge over the seim river in kurshchyna, some people cut something else there, they say that there are some railways there, how serious is it really, how serious they really... well , because the bridge, when i looked at it, how it exploded there, well, it's so car-like, yes, well

okay, well, now it is gone, but somewhere nearby there may be some railway and so on, so how much success can there be here? let's start with the fact that a bridge in the gushkovo district was literally bombed yesterday, this is a very good precedent, our aviation is bombing objects on the territory of the russian federation, this has already been officially recognized, here at the same time the question arises: where did we get guided air bombs to bomb the territory of the russian federation, well, we were talking about the fact that we would receive only 100 - 300 units from the western allies different aerial bombs per month and there is no more. you can't sleep anymore, and we don't have our own weapons, we can't provide them all, and you can even see that without the f16 we can't fly anywhere there and everything is very bad, here some miracles happen, that is, that our first aviation is controlled by aviation weapons in conditions of superiority, in conditions of superiority, the enemy is hitting the russian infrastructure, here even if that road bridge, well, something like that

just cut off the path to several forces and actually just creates problems there tactically the grouping of russian troops, if not on the way to our main goal, after all , this is an important precedent, if we talk about something so strategically important, then i think that in this case we should finally forget about the city of kurchatov, well, it makes sense, but remember about the city of lhov, which is one of the only two important logistics hubs in the territory of the kursk region, has an interesting configuration there, for example, there are as many as 1,500 railway kilometers of railway tracks in the kursk region, but they are all divided into two railway junctions, these are lviv and kursk. if these two nodes are either bombed there, forgive me, or at least ulgov is taken under physical control, well, then the entire railway network there can be understood on the territory of the kursk region, crossed out, because for the russian army it will be used for the export of important goods for the kremlin, there grain, iron ore, from which to take money for the war against ukraine, also

falls out, so there will obviously be some strategic steps there, maybe in a few weeks, so what to take what is realistic. cuts through logistics at the strategic level for the russians, but at the tactical level, all these points are already being worked out very well. now one more thing about the leadership of the russian armed forces. here i am tormented by vague doubts. so, putin appointed his former bodyguard and the head of this bryansk region or tulshchyna, i don't remember who he is. such a person named dumin, the curator of defense. at the same time, mr. bortnikov is... chief of the fsb, it seems to me that he, he heads the counter-terrorist operation in kurshchyna. question: two non-military on the same plane have any to issue orders. from the point of view of efficiency, it is not clear to me, professor, that, well,

well, it would be absurd if at least one of them was a military man. well, then it would be clear that the one who is a military man, and that one was a partorg, as in soviet times, and that one would be a commander, and that one would be a political engineer, well, somehow then i understand what it was once called, the only thing , oh, the only thing, i remembered, i was also in the soviet army for three months, so i remember a little, here are two people, civilians, actually leading the front, i don't understand something, something... something, maybe mr. putin's sophisticated brain came up with something there, i still don't understand, here they are, both of these beautiful lungs, what do you say, i think it's not about a military action, it's about a political one, because we are in this structure not the only one, we have forgotten the third figure of the don-don, ramzan kadyrov, whom

the motorized rifle regiments and the russian guards, the russian army, in general, there are also there, that is, there are three different ones. subjects, not to mention the fact that there is a fourth subject in the form of the general staff of the armed forces of the russian federations, well, in general , there is also civil power at various verticals, that is , they did not even plan to engage in it as a single leader, perhaps we are talking about a political action, well, just like that, although it is difficult to call the russian regime democratic and the like , but the competition of the so-called elites takes place there, it's just wrapped in a narrative about the kremlin towers, maybe it's just the traces of this so-called struggle. and the towers of the kremlin among themselves are manifested in the fact that how they organized, formally organized defense in the political plan kursk oblast, because there may still be such an interesting thing here, the political reality, which there is this lack of leadership, is one thing, but how the russian troops are actually managed, how they are there, how they will be provided with logistical support, there is the staging goals

for the recapture of certain territories where our troops are located, there may be a completely different reality and... this different reality may be directly managed by the same chief of the general staff gerasimov, who is already in the third year of full-scale consecutive wars hide it both literally and figuratively, but for some reason it still floats, perhaps precisely because in the case of the russian generalship, there is no one to compete with, so there they have one eternal gerasimov forever. well , i'm confused anyway, because it's not difficult for me to imagine dealing with a tower during a war. to deal with civil issues, to deal with who is rabinovych, what to do with one, the second, the third during the war, well, i don't know somehow, it seems to me that this is some kind of absurd. but it does not look absurd the situation near pokrovsk, and where the army of the russian federation is advancing, is still

advancing. what do you say, how dangerous it is, how much this advance of 100, 200, 300, 400 m per day can be dangerous for the ukrainian army, and whether the ukrainian army's resilience will be enough to stop them somewhere there, at least near pokrovsk, so that anyway...somehow we didn't worry so much here in the rear, please, i think we need to ask the question even more problematic here, will we have enough time, forces, well, as a country, as there, and in particular , our army, in order not only to keep the russians there in the positions that are in the east, but to have time to cut the logistical communications on the territory of the russian federation that feed the russian groups of troops that are moving towards pokrovsky, accordingly, create such a way that the russians disappear in... the main factor that allows them to move forward there has disappeared: the advantage of material and technical resources, because on the one hand it is difficult to say, to put it mildly, that the russians are doing something very tactically prepared

infantry, well, fortunately , such a certain dissonance still persists, when in our country it is considered a basic legal right that it is necessary to train a soldier for at least 60 days before sending him somewhere to coordinate with the russians. 30 days and that's it, and so on , well... accordingly, this battalion is then wiped out in battles, well, it is destroyed faster than the interval, what it was prepared for, on the other hand, unfortunately, they have guided air bombs that are dropped from aircraft, artillery ammunition, barrels for ar systems, they are not as limited as we would like, they are not as limited as our corresponding resources, and accordingly they are even more so, you know, less limited than manpower, so it turns out that in this case... they don't even advance in the pokrov direction at a speed of 100 m forward, they manage to bomb our positions at a speed of 100 m in depth forward and thus send the infantry there to

gain a foothold. based on the fact that it took them approximately 3 months to submit this distance of 10 km from ocheretony to the point where they are standing, then obviously we can proceed from the fact that it is possible for another two or three months for the russian troops to stop near pokrovsk there, or at least until... a pessimistic option , that we will still have to prepare for street battles within the city of pokrovsk itself and then still try to stop something, cut the logistical communications of the russians in the kursk region. indeed, we are entering such a difficult, very risky period of the war, and there even, let's say, western observers who let's say this, western military officials note that this is very risky, but on the other hand, at least it should be done to try to stop the russians from climbing in an asymmetrical way, because if you... build a hypothesis so that, okay, there is no operation in kurshchyna, but we are trying to throw everything there is at pokrovsk, then we would have, well, you know, an essentially unchanged situation,

that is, the russians are moving from 100 m per day at such a speed to pokrovsk, we are simply preparing for some of the most pessimistic options, here and there, which usually refer to the negotiations there, the terms of the kremlin and the like and the like, so at least the russians will stop us on those... which are more profitable for us, there are at least certain chances precisely because of the operation in kursk. the last question about aviation, what is it that ukrainian aviation has become so bold, flies on the fronts, bombs bridges, before they somehow did not fly, well, they were so careful not to shoot down ukrainian planes, but now i see, well first of all, i am aware that some russians are shooting down, a very good pilot seems to have died there, but there is... how about that bridge, what happened to ukrainian aviation? well , of course, this is only my hypothesis, which can look very speculative, and they even say

that kirichevsky decided to hype up, but nevertheless, there is simply no other option, but if our official military command mastered the stages in the 16th future, then described by comparison that initially our pilots will learn to crawl on them, then walk and then run, well, judging by everything, this is how they crawl on f16, especially since... maybe the degree of real training and what all these people were going for months, we underestimate, because of one factor that determined the message in the american press that the white is preparing to give them an analogue of the stormshadow igm 158/pdf16, well, it’s just a missile, long-range, winged, it also needs to be trained, prepared, used, and who knows, maybe they are not just working out a solution, but maybe there is already a certain preparation of personnel for crawling with such missiles at the moment... at the stage, well, just another option, that this happened, that the russian aviation somehow became less bolder, because even despite the strikes on our drones, on russian airfields, it

does not prevent them from operating in the east, but... for some reason , in the kurshchyna there are some more areas, for some reason the aviation operates there more boldly, more actively, well otherwise you don’t explain, well, besides that, well, maybe our analogue of these russian guided air bombs with mpk modules, well, maybe they are already starting to run them in, because once again, somehow, not only aviation has become bolder, but it is also bombing more actively, and the question is where we got to only bombs for such promotions. thank you hi, ivan krichevskyi, defense express military expert was in touch with us, thank you once again for joining... us, now there will be an advertisement, before the advertisement a small announcement, er, august 24 is relentlessly and inexorably approaching, i remind you, this independence day of ukraine, and undoubtedly astkanal, which is called espresso, is preparing a special project called bright people in dark times, there will be interviews with mr. viktor yushchenko, mr. svyatoslav shevchuk, serhiy plokhi, and there will be
