congratulations, the real front program is on the air, and i, taras berezovyts, am with you. today in our program. the attack of ukrainian troops on the territory of the kursk region came as a complete surprise to the kremlin. the world's reaction to russia's loss of ancestral territories. american senators called on the white house to lift restrictions on ukraine's use of american weapons. the ratings of candidate kamela harris from... are growing, and the situation in the middle east is also intensifying.

the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi informed the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, that 74 settlements in the kursk region of russia are currently under the full control of the armed forces of ukraine. army. works, we continue the movement in the kursk region, glory to ukraine, - wrote general syrskyi in his telegram channel. let me remind you that on august 6 , the offensive of ukrainian troops on the territory of the kursk region of the russian federation began. and already on august 12, at the stake of the supreme commander-in-chief, head oleksandr syrsky reported to the president that the armed forces of ukraine control 44 populations. points and about 1000 km of russian territory. in response, the president

of ukraine thanked all ukrainian soldiers and commanders for their steadfastness and determination in defending the country. more details about the situation at the front, further in our story. zsu controls 1,150 km in the kursk region of the russian federation. since the beginning of the operation, our military advanced 35 km to the enemy's defenses and liberated 82 settlements. a military command post has already been established in the liberated territories of kurshchyna, manager who was appointed major general moskalyov. on august 15, oleksandr syrskyi informed the president of ukraine about this during the regular meeting of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine. the russian command is currently forced to transfer units to the kurdish region not from the deep rear, but from the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, where hostilities are taking place, - says military expert oleksandr kovalenko. for now, they are dropping

units in small batches, a small number of units from each bridgehead. from each of the directions, to kharkiv directions, kupinsky, and from the pokrovsky direction, again siversky, as well as from the composition of the dnipro and east troops, that is, a small number of battalions there, two battalions, well, for example, the west troop group sent two battalions from the kupyansk direction to reinforce the kurzh, the kurzh group, but this is not enough, it will not be enough, and one way or another... they will be forced to send even more resources, so they will have to choose which of the directions, which bridgehead, they will weaken moreover, i think that it will still be the dnipro troop group, since it is quantitatively one of the largest currently in the combat zone, among the entire group of russian occupation troops, and this will affect their capabilities,

in this case, to control the left-bank kherson region, as well as conducting an operation in the south. this is a worker performance and their plans to open the orichiv area in general. russians are surrendering en masse to the armed forces. according to the british publication za independent, the number of russian military prisoners in kursk oblast can reach more than 2,000. and these are mainly conscripts who will be tried to be exchanged first of all. and this is very good for us, because there are still a lot of ukrainians, both military and civilian, in polona on the territory of the russian federation - says oleksandr kovalenko. in addition , the operation of the armed forces has others. positive sides, many moments, starting from the buffer zone, continuing with the exchange of prisoners and ending even with the fact that it was cut, by the way, there is one of the rock railways through suja, which was used all this time for improvement, well, shorter, more efficient logistics, transportation of material and technical support and

personnel, now only the railway to kursk is working there, and then, and then everything by road. and this is not the best option for logistics, that is, in principle, there are many such options, starting from the exchange of territories, the exchange of prisoners and ending even with situational moments related to logistics. despite the successes of the armed forces of ukraine in the kurdish region, the situation in the east and south of ukraine remains difficult, but controlled. a defensive operation is underway. the main efforts are focused on preventing the enemy from advancing in the direction of toretsk and pokrovsk. commander in chief oleksandr kovalenko says that the russian federation was forced to reduce the intensity of hostilities in some areas, but it is too early to relax. it will only become easier when the war is over. but we can say that the russians had problems primarily in the kharkiv region. in the north of the kharkiv region, because they took

the largest number of units from the belgorod group. they are regrouping there in connection with this, they regroup. and i think that in the near future we will be able to see a weakening of their positions in the area of ​​the villages of hlyboke and vovchansk. in general, it is still too early to say that it has become easier, there has been a decrease in some intense, yes there are such trends. the reaction of the world to the military operation of the ukrainian armed forces in the kursk region of russia turned out to be indicative. thus, the spokesman of the european commission on foreign policy issues, peter stano, said. that ukraine has the right to self-defense, including strikes on russian territory. the pentagon in turn explained that the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region is consistent with the policy of the united states. and the official beijing reported that it is closely watching and called on all parties to de-escalate the conflict. this is how

the russian-ukrainian war is called in china. learn more about applications. world leaders, further in our story. the operation of the armed forces of ukraine on the territory of the russian federation in the kursk region, which began on august 6 and is still ongoing, came as a surprise not only to the leadership of the russian federation, but also to western partners. this is the largest ukrainian offensive on the territory of the occupiers from the beginning of the war the zsu continues to advance in kursk oblast every day, capturing new settlements and capturing enemies. loot their equipment. putin is visibly nervous during a meeting on the situation in the kursk region. he declared that everything was clear to him now. ukraine allegedly invaded the kurdish region of russia in order to improve its own. negotiating position, so now moscow has no desire to negotiate with kyiv. western partners are also monitoring the operation of the armed forces. in particular, the pentagon said that ukraine's actions in

the kursk region correspond to us policy regarding the use of the provided weapons. also , the spokesman of the us state department, matthew miller, said during the briefing that the us had not received any warnings from ukraine about such attacks. however, there is nothing unusual in this. it's a war they're fighting, we 're giving them the tools and we're advising them, but when it comes to day-to-day tactics, when it comes to day-to-day strikes, sometimes we talk to them, sometimes we don't, and it's up to them to make their own decisions. and us president joe biden said that the corresponding military actions put the russian dictator putin is faced with a real dilemma. i communicated regularly with my team. every four to five hours for the past six to eight days, and this presents a real dilemma for putin. the head of the defense committee of the bundestag, markus faber

, said on the x social network that what ukraine is doing in kursk is completely legal and justified from a military point of view. with this operation, ukraine proves its ability to act, and it also shows the russian population that their dictator's war of aggression affects them as well, and not only. ukrainians, in the interests of russia and russians should be to end the zagardnya war, it remains only to wish the ukrainian defenders good luck, including near kursk. china first reacted to hostilities on the territory of the russian federation on august 12. in a statement, the chinese foreign ministry asked beijing not to expand the battlefield and not add fuel to the fire. china's position on ukraine is consistent and clear. the chinese side called. all parties should adhere to the three principles of de-escalation of the situation, namely, the combat zone should not, should not, expand allow the escalation of the armed conflict and

prevent provocations that lead to an escalation of fire by any side. on august 10, russia's ally, the self-proclaimed president of belarus, lukashenko said that he did not understand why ukraine entered the kursk region and that it was necessary to find out, but any provocations would not go unanswered. it is unpleasant that the ukrainians, as i have warned you many times, show that they are not ready for any peace and continue to escalate this tension. two days ago the attack on in the kurdish direction, where they have advanced several tens of kilometers, 30-35 already today, are entrenched there, well, this is a provocation aimed at striking the russian federation. i would not like to deal with these issues in such a clamor today, but you will not get anywhere. as bel novosti reports, citing a source in the belarusian ministry of defense, lukashenko ordered the transfer of equipment from active

belarusian units to russia due to the lack of resources of the russian armed forces, both in kursk oblast and in other areas. the special operation of the armed forces of ukraine on the territory of the kursk region has already demonstrated to the whole world that the russian federation cannot even properly protect its territories, it is difficult for it to cope with the situation that has developed in its region. moscow is forced to turn to its allies for help. the russian federation and several other countries of the former soviet union are members of the collective security agreement, but they do not have powerful armies capable of supporting russia. such an opinion was expressed by ex-kgb employee serhiy zhernov for channel 24. the csto was not created to participating countries provided assistance to each other, and in order for russia to be able to take any of them on a basis that is beneficial to it, then it will seize any country from the csto with its armed forces of 1.3 million military personnel, for example, belarus.

in order not to enter the war, alexander lukashenko actually concluded a separate armistice with ukraine. from the fall of 2022, nothing will fly from belarus to ukrainian territory. he is not interested in opening a second front, although vladimir putin wants it. lukashenko realizes that if he joins putin in the war against ukraine, he will get permission to use all the western means at his disposal to eliminate the belarusian group, which is why he does not want to enter the war against ukraine. on august 12, during an official visit to kyiv, united states senators from both parties, republican lynsey graham and democrat richard blumenthal spoke favorably of the successes of the kursk oblast armed forces, and also appealed to the administration of president joe biden to lift restrictions on the use of airspace provided to ukraine

american weapons. according to the prime minister of ukraine denys shmygal, at the meeting of ukrainian government officials with american senators, among other things, the confiscation of frozen russian assets and american investments in the ukrainian defense industry were discussed. more on the results of this important visit later in our story. a bipartisan delegation from the united states , lynsey graham of of the american party and richard blumenthal of the democratic party visited kyiv on august 12. first, us senators met with president volodymyr zelenskyi and discussed what exactly is needed to end this war justly. in particular, our need to use long-range weapons. this was reported in the office of the president of ukraine. during the conversation, richard blumenthal noted that they had come to once again convey the message about

the importance of the transfer of military aid. and also added that a new bill is being proposed in the usa. we are also proposing a new bill, which will be called "help ukraine," and it will enshrine exactly bipartisan preparation, and we would like it was fixed at the level of the law, and not only at the level of the president's own decision. republican lynsey graham expressed hope that ukraine will receive more aid this year. from the congress and said that he was glad that ukraine did not warn about its attack on the territory of the russian federation. after 2.5 years of war , you continue to stand your ground, and even entered russia, we are proud of your leadership, and you are demonstrating many things that i have never seen, they said that kyiv would fall in three days, but you see how they turned around, then they were all wrong, and here... just months later

your people are suffering, there is resilience, but already on the territory of russia, it is brave and wonderful, i am glad that you did not tell us about it, you did not warn us, instead you did it, and now the russians are already paying the price, so it is right. later, at a briefing after the meeting of politicians, us senators commented and expressed support for the operation of the armed forces of ukraine in the korsk region, rfe/rl reports. in what i think of kursk, bold, brilliant, beautiful, keep it up, putin started it, kick his ass, let these people fight, give them the weapons they need to win a war they don't can afford to lose, as for the f-16, all this is very long, they are already in ukraine, so give them the opportunity to use them, let's train ukrainian pilots.

today is a day of hope, more hope than i have seen in all my trips here. the breakthrough in the direction of kursk is historic, it is a seismic breakthrough, it is good, big news that promises even more potential breakthroughs, but the main news is that ukraine is in russia, it is taking the fight to the territory of russia. we want to convey a message to the administration that it should give ukraine more flexibility and opportunities to use the weapons that have been provided to strike deeper behind the front line. that currently exists, there are certain limitations and permissions issues that we hope to eliminate, empowerment is extremely important from a tactical and ultimately strategic point of view. it also became known that the delegation of the us congress , jimmy panetta, donald norcross and celeste maloy, visited one of the leading enterprises of the national association of defense industry enterprises of ukraine. he informed her about this

serhii pashynskyi is the head. during the visit they discussed further practically.
