territory, i thought that, despite the fact that these lands have been part of the russian federation for 100 years, there will be no ukrainian speakers here, but no, there is quite a lot that has personally happened, in principle, at the moment, to put it briefly, that's it, well, here it is these prisoners, who are and in general those with whom we now have to fight, are mostly conscripts, can we already say that some other units got angry there? our unit has not yet taken prisoners directly in terms of its activities, but all of the prisoners encountered by other units are of a different plan, there are definitely officers who, if with them, the conscripts put up the greatest resistance, they also took captive guys with whom we talked, they were representatives

of the chechen republic, yes, their republic, akhmat’s unit, and we also talked with a guy who said that they were fsb, they were taking prisoners, yes what is this plan, well, if you can compare it with some other features of the front, as you would say, in terms of the work of, for example, russian artillery, russian aviation, how does it look like... well, the ratio of our capabilities to theirs is on the verge, i i mean, if you compare in terms of how it looks to me, how to me, there are more cabs here than in the part of donetsk region where we were, there were a lot of shots, yes, but it turned out that it was not a very large number, there in a day or in an even shorter period of time that can arrive, it is from ... pleasant moments, then just

recently fpv enemy drones appeared, their number is growing so dynamically, today even we almost got into trouble with them, we were lucky, then artillery fire increased significantly, and in general , the resistance of infantry units increased , that is, i... i understand that a significant, very significant replenishment of these types of troops and weapons approached the enemy in these areas, which added a little difficulty in the advance, but i want to make it clear to our viewers that every brigade, every battalion advancing here is doing its best great efforts to make it happen qualitatively and quickly. and to say that it is

an easy walk, there are moments when it is easier for the boys, there are moments when, in cooperation with everyone, you have to work well against the enemy and after that one or another defender surrenders, who is very well prepared, unfortunately, not like we have in many parts of the front, but tell me, is there such a kind of advanced defense there, i mean fortified lines of some sort. was it exclusively along the border, i.e. in what, well , under what conditions are you actually fighting, is it that every time you have to take some line of defense, or is it just already going on, well, there in the houses in the landings, well, what was the most strengthened borders, yes at that time, because systematic work was carried out there for a long period of time, it is not only engineering. buildings in the form of

an anti-tank ditch, there is a threat of barbed wire, the so-called dragon's teeth, this is a multi-level video recording system of various security devices, of a more complex type, simpler, these are also very large, powerful underground strongholds with concrete firing points, completely with a branching system of corridors, premises, warehouses, well, that is , very, very large. in the future, it is already with advancement to the level that it is now, it is already newly created in most m fortification systems, ah, there are places where ambushes were arranged, it is already dug, dug, dug accordingly, soldiers, quick-fire rifles, at such points, when they were flowing, you can see a large amount of ammunition, a very large amount, which is interesting that among the ammunition they had... winter mittens and winter hats were, i don’t

know why, but they thought to sit until these winters, well, i don’t know, i can only state the fact that... what i saw, they threw down certain types of weapons and ran away, well, how, how where, how in which area, i say, over time the resistance only grows, because, according to all the information we hear from official ukrainian sources, there is a transfer of manpower, techniques, i would really like a very large amount to be thrown here, it's just that the beginning has not been completed in any way. well, i think that we will see new stages of the development of the operation, and it will be reported from official sources, and i will note once again that thanks to a certain regime of silence and secrecy, few people

knew about the beginning of the operation, when everyone was transferred to this shade , and i hope that the final goal is still unknown to us, that it will also be a surprise for everyone, and how about you... in general, here are your personal impressions of the war on the territory of the enemy, what are the feelings from this? let's say this, the ukrainians once again showed the whole world that when you were attacked and soon it has already been 3 years, yes 2.5 years of a full-scale war, not counting the previous enemy expansion, so during the time of atos, we can not only defend ourselves, we can... dare to enter the territory of a nuclear state, make such a lightning offensive, lock in and continue to advance, while we do not violate any international norms, which is very important, because our world

partners would then block aid, without which it would be much more difficult for us, and that which now a commandant's office is being introduced in the territory of the kursk region, it will help to... observe all international norms, rules, conduct of wars and in particular the treatment of civilians, because ukraine, which recently ratified the roman statutes, will help us to condemn the enemy faster. ukraine has always emphasized that we wage war honestly, we did not attack anyone, we were attacked, and we are forced to defend ourselves, and one of the most effective forms of defense is attack, and unexpected, brave operations that inspire society. and support the army, because armies we need these successful cases, they only add motivation, well, by the way, we already have such a story from the territory of the kursk region, in particular, what did your defense structures look like there, let's look at them,

maybe we can do something there even discuss about that, let's. this is the first line of defense of the russians in the kursk region, now everything is under the control of the armed forces of ukraine, let's see what's inside here, the last one, they fled in a hurry, leaving everything that was here. and their things, and detailed plans, and schemes observation,

there are indeed many russian military personnel in kursk oblast, but there is a nuance, they are either captured or just like that. well, that's what you basically said when you said that in principle, a lot has been dug in... many kilometers, but well, as far as i understand, so far there is no talk of digging in some

new frontiers, so far , yes, now there are still battles, which there is no stabilization, there are front lines or something like that, the armed forces of ukraine are trying to expand the bridgehead as much as possible, i emphasize, and we do not know the final goal, if in... which i hope, has a much more interesting idea, we will all do our best to advance and implement it. at this stage, further and further progress is taking place, and every day, i learn from my comrades that prisoners are being taken, of course not in the same number as in the first days, however, there are advances going on, battles are going on, and it is important now carefully, pra... .. but to adhere to all tactical plans, to protect the personnel, but

to carry out the task. well, i thank vasyl galamay, the platoon commander of the third battalion of nakhtyagal, who joined us from kursk oblast, and i also want to tell you that we are preparing for independence day, on august 24 , watch a special project on espresso, bright people in dark times, we have prepared interesting stories about heroic people, exclusive... interviews with viktor yushchenko, svyatoslav shvechuk, serhii plohii, this is a very famous historian, much, much more, already at 10 p.m. a documentary film 10 years of war, it’s all on independence day at espresso, from 8:00 a.m. to midnight, so stay close, stay with us, for today we have everything, well, actually stay with espresso tv channel. two hours to

learn about the war and how the world lives, a project for smart and caring people, an espresso in the evening, green, makes history, on august 5, just before independence day, the parliament banned the activities of the russian orthodox church and its branch in ukraine. after obtaining the tomos on autocephaly and the creation of a local church, this is the most important act for the protection of our national security in the field of activity of religious organizations. i am proud to have been involved in these two historic events which will finally cut off the tentacles of russian peace in ukraine. so we still have many challenges ahead of us. the law must work. and not turn into a good declaration, as it often happens in our country, and we will make sure

that the authorities do their work, but the hardest road has been taken, as it were, let's recall this dramatic story with almost detective stories, but first, subscribe to my channel, and together we will continue the struggle for spiritual independence. the history of the priest of the moscow patriarchate viktor talk from borodyanka, khrestomatijna for of the entire branch of the russian orthodox church. after the occupation of the town, he transformed it. to a russian prison, we were lined up under the fence of the church with cars, backed up by military equipment, and at that moment father viktor came out of the church with some man, well, i understand that it was the special services, and he told us that we were detained, a special inspection will be carried out on us, it will take about a day or two, at this moment the father said, place the people, i will tell you this, if in the 16th year the troops came here and did not meet them. his victims survived and after the warts were released, they testified about the crimes

this pope the sbu initiated criminal proceedings. in total, the special service exposed 72 priests. 22 of them have already received court sentences. some went to the russian federation on exchange. they were propagandists, adjusters, spies, saboteurs. the active work of the security service was the result of public pressure on the authorities. after all, during the invasion, ukrainians were shocked by the massive facts of working for the enemy. collaborators in cassocks, however , it was clear that point methods would give only a temporary effect, reduce public irritation, but it was not about concrete persons, in the whole institution. which for moscow became its second army inside ukraine. the problem needed a holistic solution, because of the 800 parishes of the moscow patriarchate, only 10% severed ties with the russian orthodox church. all others are still in the status of official representatives of russia in ukraine. even after patriarch kirill and the council convened by him declared the war against

ukraine sacred. only a law could be a legal solution to this threat to national security. and in the fall of the 22nd year, i wrote it and submitted it to the verkhovna rada for consideration. law project 8221 was supported by deputies from all pro-ukrainian parliamentary factions, from the homeland, european solidarity, servant of the people and voice. a number of regional councils voted for its adoption. a coalition of public organizations was created to support the document, it was written taking into account the judicial practices of the european union. we were not going to tell whom and how to pray. we aimed to sever ties with the aggressor state. the petition on the need to adopt draft law 8221 received the necessary 25,000 votes. the profile committee of the parliament as well supported him. however, the cabinet of ministers was already preparing its draft law. it eventually received the registration number 8371. and although i had

a number of reservations about it, in particular because of the cumbersome, unworkable scheme of banning the activities of the russian orthodox church, which could drag on... for decades, i still voted for this project in the first reading. political ambitions in such an important matter are inappropriate. i understood that the government bill had a better chance of being voted on, and i decided to contribute to its improvement as much as possible. meanwhile, the ukrainians were boiling again. priests the russian orthodox church, after a short list in the 22nd year , took up the old one again a year later. why are you beating the military? in the spring of 2023 , the inaction of the authorities in the matter of the legal ban of the russian orthodox church caused a radical reaction from society. after the beating of a serviceman of the armed forces by clerics of the moscow patriarchate in the holy intercession cathedral in khmelnytskyi, a ukrainian decided to do the government's work on his own. in a number of regional centers, the churches of the russian orthodox church, under the pressure of the community

, transferred to the local church, and the city councils - lviv, khmelnytskyi, lutsk, ivano-frankivsk. terminated lease contracts for communal property and land with the moscow church. this is a separate big problem that the newly adopted law should solve. i talked about it in detail in my documentary "church without christ". we are going to lviv. agency ngl media has done a fantastic research. they created a map on which they put all the lands that are owned or used by the russian orthodox church. this list was cleaned as much as possible from those who are not in the pcp, only those who are noted in one way or another in the to your name, right? and if there is, for example, i know such cases when the russian church, and the land, simply and the building itself, are registered simply for natural persons. here is an example of an infographic: in

cherkassy, ​​yes, 96% is communal property, whether in sums, or on... we can see how much , in fact, even in chernivtsi oblast there are also the majority of communal properties in chernivtsi oblast , for example, in odesa oblast we see 258 hectares , this is 97% of which is communal property, yes 97% is communal property, the same kharkiv region, well, in the end we see there even the lviv region is only 1 ha here, but we see that it is the smallest amount in ukraine. yes, but uh, well, even of that 91%, communal property, you just watched an excerpt from the documentary church without christ. below is the link, you can watch it in its entirety and you will not regret it, because in this film we talked about all the crimes, lies, the history of the russian church in ukraine, and it was part of a huge company, it was important for us

to convince the ukrainian politician, to hear ukrainian society and finally... to ban the russian orthodox church in ukraine, in particular its activities, and this was not one film, we made another film about how the russian church struggled with what happened, with the adoption of the bill in the second reading and in general, in order for it to become a law, which only they did not do, but we still won. so, as of now, we have a powerful octopus, in the center of which is vadym novinsky, the moscow patriarchate, onufry, next to him is a high-class international lawyer robert amsterdam and a star. propaganda takar carlson, as well as influential lobbyist william burwhite. they spread misinformation and try to influence us senators and congressmen, as well as ukrainian deputies. the ultimate goal is to preserve the structures of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. why did the moscow patriarchate obey and hire an entire lobby network in the usa? because we, people's deputies, did everything very correctly. in

the committee on humanitarian information policy, representatives of various factions put aside their political differences and together focused on creating a high-quality document on the basis of the government draft law 8371. i would especially like to note the constructive work of the chairman of the committee nikita poturaev. a lot depended on him, as a representative of the pro-presidential majority, his sharp statements in defense of the parliamentary version of the government document were obviously not liked by everyone at the bank, but i have already said that the ban on the activities of the russian orthodox church in ukraine is not a reason for political jealousy, but an existential issue. so, when the moscow patriarchate saw that the deputies were already at the finish line, they decided them, that is, scare us. colleagues, who is in favor of recommending that the verkhovna rada consider draft law number 837. please vote. kuturaev for. mashkov for. thank you, colleagues.

the decision was taken unanimously. i congratulate you on the passage of this very important legislation in committee. robert amsterdam wrote as many as two letters to parliamentarians, where he threatened american sanctions if the law was passed. it was there. my name is also mentioned, as one of the biggest supporters of banning the activities of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. at the same time , pro-russian deputies in parliament, blackmailed their colleagues, threatened them. if the moscow patriarchate in ukraine has nothing to do with cyril and the kremlin, as they claim, then why did they put up such aggressive resistance? the question is obviously rhetorical. someone was really scared by such threats. it is known that americans have always been sensitive to religious freedom. and that is why our draft law was conceived. mine, and then the consensus one, the parliamentary one , were not about faith, but about the constitutional system and, in particular, national security. protecting them is an unconditional and basic right of any nation

duty of any authority. the verkhovna rada could adopt this document in the spring, but incomprehensible political intrigues began again. sponsors and lobbyists of the moscow patriarchate did not give up. they even involved state structures. the position of the state committee on ethnos is destructive in some moments. of politics and freedom of conscience, which openly overwhelmed the draft law, first surprised, then outraged. the profile committee of the verkhovna rada even adopted a special statement condemning the discrediting of its work. the issue of protection religious rights and freedoms of ukrainian citizens are considered through the prism of national security, which allows to clearly separate and protect the religious freedom and security of ukrainians from the activities of religious organizations associated with the aggressor. it is for this purpose that the preamble of the draft law contains references to article nine and article 11 of the european convention on human rights and the decision of the national security and defense council,

which initiated the drafting of the draft law. therefore, the draft law does not in any way interfere in the sphere of a person's religion, but only regulates it activities of organizations operating in the religious sphere. the committee is extremely surprised by the unfounded pseudo-critical remarks that have been heard recently about the text of the draft law 80. 371 from various commentators, these statements give the impression that these experts, firstly, did not read the text of the draft law until the second reading, and secondly , try to give it an assessment from a religious point of view, although, as we have proven, the said draft law does not apply to religion at all. even more, the committee is surprised by the same unfounded pseudo-criticism on the part of des, without exception, all of its legislative proposals have been preserved from the text of the first reading, and a huge number of important amendments of its authorship have been taken into account in the second reading. it was summer, traditionally a calm political season, but the parliament was raging. after refusing to put the draft law to the vote,

the deputies blocked the rostrum of the verkhovna rada. it is significant that this was done not only by the opposition, but also by representatives of the pro-government faction of the servant of the people. the press learned that almost one and a half hundred servants gave an ultimatum to their management, or the adoption of a law, or the split of a faction. the speaker closed the meeting until august. but it became obvious that there was nowhere to run. ukrainians demanded without appeal that the activities of the russian orthodox church be banned. according to the latest data of sociologists , about 80% of them are. and politicians could not fail to respond to such a request. president zelensky could no longer waste time. in the end, he was forced to instruct his deputies to support the consensus document. you can see the result on the scoreboard. history, history. we are all together, with joint efforts, overcoming the incredible resistance, took a historic step. the spiritual occupation of ukraine is coming to an end. the last

organized kremlin structure in our country. will cease to exist, at the same time we managed to preserve the right of ukrainians to freedom of conscience, no one tells them which god to pray to, but no one will allow putin to be that god. there are discounts until independence day on baneocin 20% in pharmacies. traveller, bam and savings. in the august issue, krania magazine will tell about the return from captivity. how is ukraine looking for its own? shall we return all those abducted by russia? children? the country touches on painful topics for all ukrainians. we talk to experts, listen to the stories of soldiers who were captured. ask for the country at press outlets or pre-pay online. allergy is not enough
