explain what putin is trying to achieve? the same thing always wins, but putin has no question about what he wants, he wants to win ukraine, but it is obvious to him, unlike various bidens, it is absolutely obvious to putin that someone will win this war, either russia or ukraine, or ukraine to russia, and he is doing everything that he thinks should bring russia closer to victory in this, russia in that war, and of course the destruction of our energy system, which, well, we, we, well, we, uh,... simple people, we are used to seeing everything through our prism, we for some reason we think that the key element is that we will not have electricity, we will start again, there will be no water, inconvenience will begin again, this, by the way, is also an important element of the russian strategy for victory, they want us, the ukrainian the rear, broke so that we, ukrainian civilians, started asking the authorities to freeze the conflict on any terms,

if only we had electricity and water, but in fact this is far from the only one, the destruction of our energy infrastructure... these are, in particular, interruptions on ukrzaliznytsia, which in particular transports bc and combat trains technique the destruction of our energy infrastructure is, in particular, interruptions in the work of our defense plants, which the further, the more they produce, and the further they go, the more they make us independent of the mood of our allies. of course, russia wants to deprive us of all these possibilities, and in fact, precisely the missile strikes of the last two days, they are quite clear. three groups of goals, namely, distribution, well, energy-generating, the last, one might say, energy-generating capacities that were not yet finished during the spring campaign, so on, energy distribution, so let's say, that is, the distribution substations of our energy system, a special emphasis was precisely on the substations that feed ukrzaliznytsia

and on the sorting station of ukrzaliznytsia, well , separately, in addition to energy... there was another group of objects, about which we for some reason it is not enough, let's say, we say, well, right here, the situation is not the same when we tell the enemy where he was aiming, the enemy also aimed at our planes, both, both of them are powerful missile strikes, and actually the first and second, they in addition to the power system, there is also a significant number of these, and missiles and drones were aimed at our airfields. and specifically on our planes, in particular they grazed, we can say f16, well , their result in this category of objects, that is, in planes, the result is simply zero, they could not destroy any of our machines, that is , none, and the air force and the main intelligence office worked perfectly, gur warned in time which planes were already

known to the russians, which ones, or rather their hideouts, were known to the russians, where they would fly. the air force responded in time, no car was found in the place where whole, er, with the power system, unfortunately, you can’t do it that easily, you can’t hide the kyiv hps like an airplane, it won’t fly from point to point, so there are losses in the power system, but again, to be honest, if we talk about how many things flew at us and how much was destroyed, well, in russian it is called... the mouse was happy, but in reality there were 200 means of impression in one attack and about a hundred in the second attack, that is 300 means of long-range impression , this is the result, one hess and two large tets were significantly damaged, several were destroyed distribution substations, well, it is simply incomparable, to be honest, it is, well

, even the cost of those missiles that were used, well, the first attack there... 200 missiles is about 1.3 billion dollars and about half a billion for the second attack, that is, they spent under 2 billion dollars for this company, well, to destroy one marzal of one hydroelectric power plant and several substations, well, yes, they are also not cheap, well , excuse me, it is in the tens of millions of dollars, which is also a lot, but the billions spent cause damage to tens million, well, if... the efficiency, let's say, is very mediocre, well, by the way, it’s not about the fact that the orks have crooked hands, their aiming was mostly pretty good, it’s about our air force, again, which... and well, gave such a percentage of intercepted targets, well to which israel still grows and grows, that's the question, in fact, how often we

underestimate our defenders, that's what our anti-aircraft forces do literally every day, well, it's unprecedented in the world, to actually nullify these multibillion-dollar efforts military and space forces of russia, this is in fact is very expensive, and we... we just take it as a given, well, it's like, well, we're just used to it, that, well, our guys are like that, they work like that, and this is actually, to put it mildly, not an easy job, and in general, i paid attention to one more interesting aspect, that is, in order to prepare such a strike, even a two-part strike, maybe, by the way, even today there may still be a smaller third, i admit, but in general, to prepare an otaku , such a massive strike, it took the russians a month and a half, m... remember, there was a period when there were 100 missile strikes every week, then they became every two weeks, then once a month,

now once every one and a half, this is not accidental, it is related to the question that the russians have no strategic reserves of missiles left, and they can afford to use exactly that many missiles, how much they produced in a certain time, respectively, in order to gain a big hit, their factories have to... now work for a month and a half, only after that they can repeat it again, as they like to say there, but they will be able to repeat it again seriously, too in a couple of months this is the time we have for recovery, for replacing these damaged things, that is , yes, unpleasant preschool blows, but they are absolutely not fatal, and it can be completely calmly experienced, the main thing here is in accordance with our own back... set up that is, mr. yevgeny, i understand correctly that these strikes were not a response to what is happening now in the kursk region, but this is the systematic work of the russians to destroy

ukraine, which they have carried out before. that's right, and for the actual preparation of this yesterday's and today's blows, she began long before we entered the kursk region. that is, to say that they started to prepare a response for kursk, before we even... made a decision that we would take that course, well , it would be incorrect, to put it mildly, no, not at all, by the way , again, this is one of the points that russian propaganda is trying to impose on us, the appearance that there is supposedly a direct connection, that is blow for blow, some kind of symmetry is not symmetry, we allow ourselves something, they give themselves something in return allow, this is all a lie, they are from himself at the beginning they allow themselves everything that they can do purely technically. with the exception of nukes, that is, not using nuclear weapons and not touching nuclear energy, this is the red line that the west actually drew for them, and only, this is

the red line, after which they were promised that nato would intervene directly, and that is why this is the only thing they don't do everything else that they are technically capable of in order to defeat us, everything else they do exactly when they are technically able to do it, but there is no connection with our actions, they harm us in every possible way, regardless of whether it is more successful or less successful, we destroy them. let's talk about what is happening in kurshchyna, because today, the head of the armed forces of ukraine, speaking at the ukraine-24 independence forum, said that russia had transferred 30,000 troops there to dislodge the armed forces of ukraine. let's listen to what the head says. about kurshchyna as of august 27, 24, the kurdish operation diverted a significant number

of his forces, well, at the moment we can state that about 30 thousand conscripts have already been transferred to the kurst direction, and this number is growing, today we have taken control of 1294. 100 settlements that are located in this territory, also thanks to the successful actions of our troops, we have significantly replenished the exchange fund, today in this direction in captivity 594 servicemen of the armed forces of the russian federation and president zelensky were taken. also spoke today about the kursk region, said that the physical presence of ukrainian troops in the kursk region is a way to compensate for the deficit long range let's listen to zelenskyi.

the physical presence of our forces in the kurdish region, our active actions to destroy the russian threat on its territory, this is , among other things, a way to compensate for the short-range range. we continue our actions in the designated areas exactly as ukraine needs. during this day there is more of our control, there is another replenishment of the exchange fund. mr. yevgeny, today it became known that... the minister of defense of ukraine rustem and the head of the president's office andriy yermak this week in washington plan to transfer the administration of president biden, a list of targets deep in the territory of russia, counting on the fact that the americans will allow us to attack with missiles from the depths of the russian federation, whether the kurdish operation of the armed forces of ukraine is convincing for our western partners and whether it can convince them that from afar. weapons

we can much more, these are two completely different issues, i will start with how convincing the kursk operation is in general for our allies, i regularly monitor the western press, and you know, with the kursk operation we they completely changed its entire tone, its entire narrative, but before the kursk operation, to be honest, reading the western press was already morally more difficult for me than the orkian publications, you can at least laugh at the orkian publications from time to time, but there was already everyone there these washington post and new york times were already very unfunny. i don't know if everyone in our country has paid attention to this, because in our country there are only, let's say, reposts, but when you read it all in the original and constantly, well, we were actually buried there, already there absolutely dominated by the narrative that it is impossible to defeat russia, it is necessary to negotiate,

it is necessary to freeze. conflict: freezing the conflict means freezing it on putin's terms, that is, in fact, our capitulation. part of the western media was just openly rocking it, just drowning it, you can say for it, part of it was shedding crocodile tears, that they are very sorry for us, but what can you do, it is impossible to defeat russia? yes , the kurdish operation completely changed all this, the kurdish operation in general , just excuse my rudeness, but shut up to all those who all the time tried to force us to ... rosk, the thesis about the invincibility of russia has been completely removed, now it is being discussed, firstly, whether or not it is worth giving us time to defeat russia, well, let's say, another part of the allies it is debated what should be done in order for us to defeat russia, but again for the first time since, well, let's be honest, since the failure of our 23rd offensive, for the first time again it is considered obvious that, in principle, russia

is victorious. that it can be defeated, then there are already questions, i say, technical ones, how, not everyone is happy about it, but that's another story, that's why the tone of our allies has changed radically, in this sense, the kurdish operation is our greatest overall military success after the liberation of kharkiv oblast and kherson in the autumn of 22, but a separate and more it's a sad story, this is a question about long shots, so i'm afraid that until... in the states , nothing will change, it seems that we have leaned on certain, let's say, personal characteristics of grandfather biden, that is, because of which he simply does not is capable of transgressing, but this panic is so deep in him the fear of escalation, that is, the panicked fear of doing anything that, in his opinion, could force russia to unpack the nuclear suitcase, he has

so much... fear that he would have only one will at all, and if he believed that in order to they didn't unpack the nuclear suitcase, you just have to surrender ukraine, believe me, he would surrender, but thank god, in the states he is not the only one who makes all the decisions, but in those where it directly depends on him, well, we see it, these are long shots in russia, for him , they still remain outside the borders of these reds lines, and if our kermanychs manage to convince him that in fact these red lines exist... exclusively in his head, well, it will be simply a fantastic success, i wouldn't expect it yet, but by the way, about the red lines, well, grandpa biden is really a separate story, i would say on the border of psychiatry, but the absolute majority of western experts, the kurdish operation, in particular , convinced that there are no red lines, but it was once believed that the strikes on crimea were red lines, that is.
