i would like to emphasize once again that on the territory of the russian federation, what is currently happening in kursk oblast is still positive, three main bridges were eliminated, which were used to locate the units of the armed forces of the russian federation, and in fact approximately 3,000 personnel of the russian troops were in an operational environment. moreover, the movement of reserves, the transportation of bka. evacuation of the wounded is possible only by pontoon crossings or, accordingly, by watercraft, taking into account the fact that the pontoon crossing was covered by hymer precisely with cluster warhead, we can say that the russians will have to overcome this natural water obstacle by swimming, and the defense forces of ukraine actually received a line of defense, a natural one, which the russians will have to overcome... problematic and most importantly,

the constant nature of the advance of the defense forces continues of ukraine in the kurdish direction, this is worth talking about, that is, despite all the efforts of the russian side , there is no way to stop the advance. one more point, we will refute the information, there is no redeployment directly from the line of combat in ukraine, that is, it is said that the russians do not seem to transfer units to the kurdish direction of nevid. it is true that the 810th marine infantry brigade was withdrawn from the pokrovsky direction, the city of permanent deployment sevastopol, transferred to the kursk direction, from the gurakhiv direction, from krasnohoriyka , one of the most combat-capable brigades of the so -called first army corps was withdrawn , the 5th brigade in the kursk direction, from the kramatorsk direction, since the time of the yar was withdrawn the first assault squad of the former wagner military academy, it is currently voluntary. the corps under

the command of ratibor was transferred to the kurdish direction and a similar situation with the special unit of the akhmat regiment, but these are not kadyrivtsi, this is the ait special unit, which is formed from representatives of the slavic nationality, 80% of the personnel, that is , the most combat-ready units, in addition, it is transferred from the rear areas of the russian federation currently, units of the so-called siberian combat divisions have already been registered in the kurdistan region. according to our baltic friends, buryativ was taken by the russian army is forced to transfer units even from the kaliningrad region, and this is evidence that the operational reserves of the russian army are insufficient, and it is quite indicative that in the kharkiv direction, according to the analytical department of the public initiative of the right against the background of the events taking place in the kursk region from "appeared: units of the 116th

special forces brigade of the russian guard, that is, they are not the armed forces of the russian federation, that is, they are already starting to use internal troops, everything, everything that is, mr. serhiy, but look, here you are they mentioned the pokrovsk direction and the fact that the russians are also transferring troops from the pokrovsk direction to the kursk direction, but still the russians are advancing towards pokrovsk and to what extent... is it realistic that the russians will be able to take control of pokrovsk in some perspective, because it turns out that pokrovsk is the key to the road to the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, well, this is according to the data of the economists who wrote today about the beauty of the situation on this part of the front, let's refute this information as well, there is no collapse, the tactical advance of the russians became possible due to some facts. several, i

apologize, at the same time, the first is the landscape of the area, the plain, it is impossible for the defense forces of ukraine to gain a foothold on the plain in the absence of engineering and fortification structures, the shmygal line, the line there, like yomerova, whatever you want to call it, in fact not in an open field, under the constant blows of the fap, russian attack aircraft, and, accordingly, the superiority in the means of defeat by a ratio of 3:1, respectively, as soon as the number... we will withdraw to the urban development, and we are already actually fighting, the towns-novorodivka, the pace of advancement russian occupiers will decrease many times, i will explain why, because battles, for example, during the time of yar , last six months, and there is no further advance than the area of ​​the novy microdistrict. krasnohorivka, which i mentioned, they have been storming for 8 months, eight, and 30% of the city is still controlled by the armed forces of ukraine. let's. let's remember how many bahamud they

stormed, nine months, but let's be realistic, the russians have a numerical advantage in manpower, and accordingly, unfortunately, in means of defeat and total air superiority. and this creates prerequisites, but to talk about what they, this is a collapse, they will take pokrovsk, well , first of all, there are 10 km to pokrovsk, and the average monthly pace of the russian advance is 3.5 km, the only thing, mr. serhiy, and dear audience of pokrovsk, we need to sound the alarm, 60,000 civilians remained in pokrovsk , you know, only after i appeared on the central tv channels, in particular, the live tv channel and statements. about the fact that 5,000 children of pokrovsk, why don't you evacuate paskudy, the head of the donetsk military-civilian administration filashkin comes out the next day, the 20th, and talks about the fact that we are starting to evacuate the children. what did you do before that? mr. serhiy, i

am currently receiving a video from pokrovsk local authorities are engaged in road surfacing, marking, 10 km to the battle line. collision, what markings, in myrnograd, this is the same direction, the city's military-civil administration, imagine, 5 km to the city they ordered dragon's teeth for uah 33 million, you know the deadline, which is the month of january, and do you remember how the kharkiv military-civilian administration explained why there is no defense line, because we cannot build them under by the fire of the russian occupiers, so it was said about... to the city and they are ordering dragon's teeth in the zone of impact of mortars, not to mention the barrel artillery, should i do this, or should the security service of ukraine acquire other dbr 33 million road markings in pokrovsk

, roses are planted, which roses the city is preparing for defense or not and... filashkin is still in office, when i list all these factors, the cities are not ready for evacuation, absolutely, the children remain, the future of ukraine, not a parachute. so, mr. dmytro, can you explain what else is happening at kharkiv oblast, because there was information that the third separate assault brigade of the ground forces of the armed forces of ukraine announced. that conducted a counterattack operation on the territory of the kharkiv region and advanced almost 2 km deep into the front, according to the brigade commander colonel biletsky, the ratio of forces on the battlefield was 2.5 to one. the main task of the operation, as biletsky says,

was to knock down the offensive potential of the 20th army of the russian federation for the moment, well, when he was writing this message, this task was accomplished. the uniqueness of the operation on... in the fact that we attacked a superior enemy and won. again, the same tactics that were used in the kurt region, a surprise attack and, accordingly, the already tactical level of advance to 2 km, they took the battalion strongholds, this is a serious success. it is worth mentioning that thanks to these actions and, accordingly, the actions of other units of the defense forces of ukraine, the tactical initiative in the kharkiv direction is currently being gradually transferred to the defense forces. in ukraine, these events speak of the kurdish direction, respectively the kharkiv wars are interconnected, they are talking about this by the way, the commanders of the third separate assault brigade from vovchansk itself are fighting heavy battles, the occupiers are aiming for an exit to the vovcha river, the battles are being fought in the area

of ​​high-rise buildings, they are trying to push through special forces of the russian guard, according to special operations forces defense is our strength. defenders unsuccessfully, we hold the line of defense, and moreover, successfully counterattack, which is quite vividly illustrated in your videos and, accordingly , in the statements of biletskyi, that is, we can say that gradually, but the situation in the kharkiv direction is normalizing, and most importantly, dear audience, the depth of advance in three months of hostilities in the kharkiv direction is 8 km. occupiers, the defense forces of ukraine advanced 35 km deep into russian territory in two weeks, so we trust the defense forces of ukraine, we trust our defenders. well, one more event that pleased the audience yesterday, of course, is the attack on

the ferry in the kavkaz port of the krasnodar territory, the spokesman of the ministry of internal affairs and communications. dmytro pletenchuk of ukraine said that 30 fuel tanks were destroyed there. let's listen to what pletenchuk said. without going into too much detail, i can only note that this ferry, as i have repeatedly stated in the ether, is one of the important chains of russian military logistics for providing the occupation forces, primarily with fuel and bridging materials, but in addition, of course, it also transported weapons, therefore , this is a completely legitimate goal, and accordingly, it should reduce the potential, the capabilities of our... enemy, in those locations where they are conducting active hostilities. mr. dmitry, does this blow mean

that very soon, the crimean peninsula can turn into the island of crimea? yes, mr. serhiy, let's talk about the planned nature of the actions of the defense forces of ukraine, ukrainian reconciliation, look, the strikes are not only on ferry crossings, by the way, this is not the first strike on alternate crossings, thanks to the magura sea drones. 5 of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense and the strike of the defense forces of ukraine destroyed or seriously damaged eight large amphibious ships, which the russians planned to use to carry out the parallel nature of the logistics of the style districts of the russian federation on the territory of the occupied crimea, there is currently no such possibility, now the ferry crossings have also been destroyed, and accordingly there is only one legal and legitimate goal of the defense forces of ukraine - the kerch bridge. accordingly, in the plans of the ukrainian military command, the ukrainian intelligence community,

the active nature of operations to neutralize these logistics of the occupiers, what is currently being carried out by the defense forces of ukraine and the ukrainian intelligence community, this is called the first stage in the nato classification the cascade nature of the planning of the de-occupation operation, that is, the active protection of the last basic logistics of the occupation is neutralized. we are talking about the kerch crimean bridge, the anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense systems are being destroyed, so no, i think, well, in the near future we will hear other good news from the temporarily occupied ukrainian territory. thank you, mr. dmytro, for the conversation, it was military expert dmytro snigiriev. let me remind you that friends, we work live on the espresso tv channel, as well as on our platforms on youtube and facebook, and throughout everything. we are conducting a survey on our broadcast, today we are asking you about whether the transition of

the uocp parish to the ocu will happen during the adoption of the law, after the adoption of the law, meaning the law on religious organizations that are connected to the russian federation. so, yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube, if you have your own opinion, please leave it in the comments below this video. if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 2 1381, if you think that the transition of the uoc parish to the ocu will speed up after the adoption of this law, no. 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, and at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next, we have volodymyr tsybulko, political analyst, writer, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and thank you for joining... our broadcast, i congratulate everyone on flag day, mutually, mr. volodymyr, and on independence day, which

literally already begins in a few hours in ukraine. so, on the eve of the independence day , the prime minister of india visited kyiv, for a rendering of fashion, but my name is constantly, it doesn't work out, for a rendering. modi, who actually spoke about peace, he said that his main task in the conversation with zelenskyi was peace initiatives, and he brought from putin putin's vision for the future of ukraine and russia, but in his final speeches, we never heard what exactly is modi's peace plan, because he is for peace against war, well, that is , some kind of... general phrases: what do you think this visit and to what extent india can influence,

how much it influences russia, and even more so, the weight of india in this peaceful future process that ukraine is now starting in the world? well, first of all, india, by purchasing russian oil and withholding payments for this oil, essentially deprives putin of an operational resource, additional finances. i would like to remind you that india froze about 50 billion dollars in its accounts in this way, and in reality, they cannot transfer this money from rs. in dollars or in rubles, he says that we do not mind, but this money is still in india. well, the hindus insist that russia invest it in the indian economy and then it will receive from the income, well, it already received income from the investment, but in fact it is a bit of a game, because after all, this money seeps through saudi arabia, through the emirates, after all, to russia seeping

in somehow, therefore converting there into reals. or even some additional units, we are talking about something else, the hindus at one time were connected in military-technical cooperation with russia, and a certain time, when after the 14th year ukraine stopped supplying, for example, turbines for e-e ships to russian military shipyards, the indians were forced to purchase... several destroyers without turbines, the indians are interested in the ukrainian turbines of the zorya mash project, and the indians are very interested in that russia is under sanctions, indians cannot modernize soviet models of equipment, which are defense, of which they are full, at russian factories, so

they can modernize, as an option, at ukrainian factories, let me remind you that, in my opinion, at the end of the 18th year, ukraine handed over modernized, in my opinion, five an-32 aircraft. india has more than 100 such an-32s. and, in fact, well, the rights and, well, all the licenses belong to ukraine for these planes. therefore, the entire design support of these aircraft takes place in ukraine. hindus are also interested in the development of their military. transport aviation, they had plans for the an-178, then i mentioned armored vehicles, and of course, modern technology, in particular the neptunes, are of great interest to the indians, because they had experience of cooperation with russia, they developed such an anti-ship missile, in my opinion, bramos, it was called, and in my opinion it is some

kind of modernized mosquito anti-ship missile. therefore, the indians saw that ukraine has intellectual capabilities, technologies, and india is dependent on these technologies, that is, it cannot cooperate with russia, because it will immediately fall under sanctions, so i think that now there is a very interesting option, let me remind you that, for example , cooperative programs for the joint development of weapons numbered more than three dozen, even more. four dozen programs, this is yan-178 and, in my opinion, armored vehicles, of course turbines, that is, ukraine has something to show, against the background of modern successes, it seems to me that the indians are very interested in ukrainian drones, well, against the background of which countries india is surrounded by,

obviously it is interested in that and among those... the motives that could prompt modi to come to ukraine are called, in particular, the competition with china, and including for europe, because modi was in poland and for the first time in 45 years, in the last 45 years, the prime minister of india visited poland , for the first time in the last 30 years , the prime minister of india visited ukraine, well of course, modi visited russia and... had a conversation with putin, obviously, obviously, india is still trying to win, including the support of european states, against the background of the possible chineseization of europe through belarus, through hungary, slovakia, like you do you think modi can help ukraine? first,

i expected such advance statements from. of fashion i thought that modi in a week, well, the press service of the indian president, and uh, well, let's say so, the prime minister, or rather, and, well, official factors will talk about the recognition of territorial integrity, the priority of international law, but fashion, spoke only in kyiv, at least the press service, well, the ukrainian bank, and... and this is very, very strange, because somehow pedaling on territorial integrity did not happen in advance, that is, because of what and such strange sensations. what did he come with , what kind of version of putin's proposals did he bring, when he talks about peace negotiations, without deciphering it, it only

introduces such, well, a sense of caution, something he does not agree on, something he hides, somewhere he insincere, and alarming, at least, well, we can say that with this visit, he is...rather saving indian national interests than promoting putin's interest there, to make peace with ukraine, well, without any doubt, we will monitor how india itself will be, will it join the second peace summit or not, will it join the peace initiatives of the ukrainian state and how will it be in fashion in this situation, what role will it play? modi, because andriy yarmak said that modi spoke with zelenskyi for 3 hours, and this is a long enough time

for negotiations, in order to find out all the points related to the future of ukraine, but the fact that india sees a future in ukraine and sees a future in relations between ukraine and india is very important. another topic, mr. volodymyr, is the collapse of russian religious organizations. in ukraine, how much time and effort do you think it will take to exclude moscow projects from ukraine? well, at a minimum, this will require re-elections, and if the servant of the people and zelenskyi are re-elected, this process will speed up. to date, that the law they pushed is not a law about depriving ukraine of russian ecclesiastical influence, but about constraining this influence, because regardless of the declaration itself, the top

of the uoc mp can accept a lot of all kinds of papers about its independence from the russian orthodox church, but when it is preserved, the apparatuses are preserved , this church, first of all, does not officially condemn. aggression does not condemn the actions of the roc in the absorption of metropolises in the occupied territories, then we cannot believe in its sincere intentions, but in banking, well, it has been known for a long time that in the pcmp it is such a propaganda detachment of the party of regions, and it seems to me that they cannot get rid of this technological bookmark, that is, the idea of ​​nine months. i do not rule out that this is an idea of ​​active use during these nine months, if there are elections of this particular religious organization for the purposes of propaganda for the party,

in particular the party, the servant of the people, well, it is not for nothing that they say that the idea of ​​the bank and the transformation of the uoc mp into uoc op, the president's office, well, that is, the renaming. as it was before the sdp, the sdpu in the sdpuoo, or opzzh in this, what a platform for peace and life. well, with the church more or less it is clear, i.e. some certain period during which any religious organization affiliated with moscow must declare or file an appeal that they are no longer affiliated with moscow, but for the time being the abbot of the uoc. and whether the head of the uoc is a member of the holy synod of the russian orthodox church by this time, when the ears are sticking out so much that there is nowhere,

in principle, it will obviously be difficult to prove to the uoc that they are not related to the roc, and here the question is in onufria, whether he will leave the holy synod of the russian orthodox church and put an end to this story, one more question, the very end our conversation, give so much. events took place this week, that we actually recall all the key events and events that took place, that were supposed to take place, there was supposed to be a rotation in the government, new ministers were supposed to be appointed, but zelensky announced this too, but it did not happen. yaroslav zheliznyak, people's deputy of ukraine, criticized the president's office for the months-long delay in filling vacant ministerial positions, and he reminded that today five ministers of infrastructure, information policy, sports, agrarian policy and veterans' affairs are missing. let's listen to what yaroslav zheleznyak said. personnel, let's say, political failure.

until at some point it has to end, some kind of personnel viagra should be applied and brought somewhere to the president's office, so that they appoint someone, especially there, well, i understand, there are probably certain issues with the minister of infrastructure or regions, well, but for some reason it seems to me that there is no intrigue with the minister of sports, veterans and information policy. mr. volodymyr, if, to put it briefly, in conditions where five or six managers manage... the ukrainian state, for in zelenskyi's words, do they really want some ministers to be there, well, at least formally, who are responsible for their directions, is this so important in the conditions of monopolies and monopolization of power, well, in general, we have a government and as a subject of international law, so to speak, i.e. the prime minister, he must

communicate a lot. with the partner governments of other countries, and such an incompetent government puts the partners in a situation of mistrust in the ukrainian government, in the functional capabilities, how can we conclude interstate agreements with such a government? i.e. this is it specially made in order to undermine the subjectivity of the government, but well , just under the conditions when the majority is exhausted, and the circumstances are ripe for the creation of a new coalition, bankova is trying to desubjectify the government as much as possible so that the world accepts zelensky as well as the head of the government, as well as the head of the verkhovna rada, well, as a dictator, that is , in essence, they created the circumstances under which the constitution is finally buried, because

some... ministers have been gone for more than six months, and the mono majority does not take any action to appoint these ministers , that is, the idea of in order to finish off the state institutions and the power ended up in five, finally and irrevocably in the hands of five or six managers. and how does this threaten ukraine in general? lawlessness, that is, in essence, when the partners see that the constitution and the law do not work, they risk entering into any agreements. let's see, after the election of a new member of the european commission, a dialogue about ukraine's membership in the european union should have started. well, where is this dialogue, where is it. and there is no one in ukraine to talk to about this. thank you, mr. volodymyr, thank you

thank you for your comments. and thank you for participating in the program, it was volodymyr tsibulko, political expert, people's deputy of ukraine of the fourth convocation. friends, we continue to work live on the espresso tv channel, and we continue to conduct surveys during our broadcast. today we are asking you about whether the transition of the uocmp parish to the ocu will be accelerated after the adoption of the law, well, after the adoption of the law by the verkhovna rada of ukraine. so, let's look at the interim results of the poll on tv. 1% and 59% of people who are pessimistic about this in addition, friends, i want to remind you that until august 24, espresso is preparing a special project "light people in dark times". interesting stories about heroic people, interviews with viktor yushchenko, svyatoslav shevchuk, serhiy plokhie and much more. and already at 10 p.m. on august 24, the documentary film 10 years of war. watch espresso tv channel.

it will be interesting throughout tomorrow, well, stay tuned to the channel, in literally 15 minutes we will return to the studio, at the rendering in kyiv , the prime minister of india came to ukraine for the first time in all the years of independence and called for a dialogue with russia to stop the war. we are talking about this visit. on the bbc live from london, i'm yevgenia shedlovska. speaking about modi's visit to kyiv, several circumstances must be taken into account. this is the first time that the prime minister of india is in ukraine. this is how he was met at the kyiv railway station. modi came on the eve of independence day, on the day of the national flag, he came from warsaw, and his visit was also important for the polish authorities. we will talk about this a little later. in general, the leader of india is interested.
