who are strengthening themselves, biting into the ground and thinking how they will stop the armed forces of ukraine, besides the enemy, and how he always manipulates the safety of the local population, the safety of civilians, and you know this. this is not a new story, because as grandfather and vali say, but those children who fought under instructions the top leadership not only fought but destroyed the local population while fighting, let's just remember that the soviet troops blew up the zaporizhzhya hydroelectric power plant when they were retreating from the south of our country and died there, whole villages were simply absorbed there they were swallowed by the water of the dnieper and were destroyed. then a lot of them died, just as they did near moscow. they tore down the dam there, they also killed people. they spat on this one. now in the kherson region, they mined and e-e and e-e gas , these engineering ones. networks and water networks and also others, but now we will talk about this with volodymyr in silence, a political scientist, he is actually

in kherson, we will speak p volodymyr i congratulate you i congratulate you and here i am talking about how the enemy is preparing to hold kherson region and that he is not only there, as a military component, does he use any component, he mines these vitally necessary and vitally important objects of infrastructure and communal infrastructure, such as gas distribution networks and drainage and other electrical networks. why is this done and is it really the enemy will want to use the practice that was used by the soviet army in the second world war, when it retreated and destroyed everything it could and could still reach, please. if when it comes to one percent of the russians, of course they will blow up everything that you can doubt it here, there is no reason, they will not leave anything, no grrp, that is, gas distribution stations, wells of water canals, no electricity substations. well, the only

hope is that they will not blow up the dams of the kakhova hpp, at least in order to have some more hope. to get water to the crimea one day, if of course they will, uh, at least have some hope that they will still return. if not, of course they can blow up the dam and at the same time blame ukraine for everything, this is their standard practice, we see that they they did to volyn or the same, they will not have any moral safeguards, i.e. you have to be ready for this, let's say for such a development of events, this applies especially to the residents of kozatskyi and novaya kakhovka, where such nuances are possible or the dams were mined, they were also mined tell me please, the options that are currently available on the ukrainian side are subversive groups, partisan groups, or to turn to the international

community, although you already know this phrase, to turn to the international community to some international humanitarian organizations, it is already being heard, you know that that how to scream is not even a straw for a drowning man is screaming to nowhere what actions in your opinion can be uh can be justified and can be um effective at the moment it is pointless and well i think the only one to whom you should turn is to inform the american allies and still demand more long-range missiles for halmars in order to make it clear to the russians, that is, to take hostage, so to speak, some objects of the russian infrastructure, in particular, such as the course of the power plant is possible will reach the novooboronen nuclear power station, that is, only for russia, only the fear of retribution is the only thing

that can get it, here we are talking about the kakhovka hpp, you say that it is mined, and i understand that this is a threat to all those settlements that go down the dnieper in the event directly, the danger of the tsunami is only for the nearest certain points, i told them, it is nova kakhovka and the rest of the cossacks further along the dnipro, eh, the wave will gradually decrease and spread over the nizhnyodnipro sands, there will be flooding but there will not be such a sudden disaster, i.e. a high wave, although it is also, of course, any kind of flood - it is also an ordinary disaster, they can also be a victim of that, but it is still an opportunity to escape for those people who are further down the dnieper - kherson, in fact, nothing special there is no danger there , er, even such a flooding will not be catastrophic

, in which case it is precisely for villages such as the dnipro cossack camps that there is a danger of the flooding of the great flooding . dam for all its entire length, if it is blown up simply so that it will be able to slide in the direction of novaya kakhovka, that is, only partially, then, accordingly, the wave of this tsunami will decrease, and thus the risk of the death of a large number of civilians becomes almost zero, and by the way, it should be noted that the russians themselves have now planned and it seems that today they are already trying to go on the offensive, and for this they have accumulated enough forces on the right bank, that is,

they do not have a problem, now the people do not have a problem and even more so in artillery and aviation. they have a problem with these delivery routes and they will certainly not blow them up now. they have hope not only to defend themselves but also to go on the offensive. thank you very much for your comments, for this important information that you voiced volodymyr molchanov, political scientist, we talked about the situation in kherson oblast . thank you. take care and now we are moving on to the conversation about the east of our country . roman vlasenko, the head of the north donets regional military administration, is in touch with us, mr. roman, i congratulate you. good evening. i just heard you today in the regular news that the enemy is again trying to capture the entire luhansk region, he has no final success at all . please, just for the evening. on this day, the situation in

luhansk oblast is changing. the enemy is still trying , so to speak, to displace our armed forces and take control of the entire region . donetsk region in the direction of the seversky bakhmut, according to the assembly of weapons of the general staff of the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine, the fighting continued today in the area of ​​the kamiansky verkhovnaye and in the area of ​​belogorivka, it is very hot in the bakhmut area, and i think that it is bakhmut, maybe avdiyivka, that is the hottest at the moment. the hotspots of donetsk region are in those, we are. if we talk about those settlements that the enemy took with great blood, he managed to get there and establish his occupying temporary power there, we are talking about severodonetsk and lysychansk, what is the situation there now because we are talking more about the fact that in mariupol the enemy is creating and uh in the occupied kherson region, but

what is there in the occupied luhansk region, especially in these cities, what kind of life is there or is it not life, please become difficult, no changes in and improvement of the humanitarian situation what is happening, they cannot fully restore electricity supply, gas supply, bad weather , the supply is deteriorating, the sanitary and hygienic ecological situation in the communities, eh, they are starting to rake up the rubble, but the same thing, eh. these are not the volumes to do it effectively and normally they are trying to organize political processes, they are trying to engage in mobilization, that is, there is a certain pressure to use local residents for their uh-uh invasive purposes, and the occupiers

do n't think about the people in particular. actively mobilized the male population of both conscript and non-conscript age in the occupied luhansk region, many people died at the time, but now they continue this practice again as it is is what we see in the video really happening ? these captures of people are just on the streets, in shops, at transport stops, and in what volume this forced mobilization is taking place, yes, everything can be confirmed. in the newly occupied territories, they still do not use such methods. nevertheless, volunteers are gathering, agitating, trying to attract the youth of this uh, they are looking for uh, ex-

military men, who were recruited for the contract with the only problem is that no one counts the victims among the ukrainians in the ukrainians, and these people are actually not protected there, in an illegal, non-food sense, they simply go like meat in front of the armed forces of ukraine. forces from the east of our country to the south, and did putin express interest in donbass? because you know, there is a question for all people who understand that the enemy is simply destroying the donbas settlement after settlement because he can reach when the artillery fires at him. why does putin want donbass in general, destroyed and burned like this? i think that this was the main goal of his so-called special operation and the reason for greece against ukraine. it was the help of the lpr and the dpr, so i think that uh, donbass remains a priority for putin and

his troops. i think that they may be a little er, they are worried about what is happening in kherson oblast, zaporizhzhia, mykolaiv oblast for i think that a dear little defeat there, for example, the losses of kherson will have very bad consequences for putin , and therefore i think that this is being done in order not to to receive some defeats, er, there are not enough forces, but donbas is there, i say bakhmut avdiyivka , there is accumulated equipment there, the reduction of the battalion of tactical groups did not take place, so i think that thank you very much for your work, thank you for your comments, take care, volodymyr er roman vlasenko head of the severodonetsk district military administration about the situation in the occupied part of luhansk oblast about the battles in

donetsk region we thank him and now i want to thank our falcon pilots helicopter helicopter pilots today is air force day forces of ukraine - these are people who still have an incredible advantage over the enemy in winged equipment and in quality and quantity . thanks and glory to those who gave their lives for you, the sky was ours and let us pray to support with all our strength those who are patrolling today, destroying the enemy and ensuring the advance of our falcon troops, thanks to you, hold on and thanks to you, our the sky is ours, and now is the time for serhiy from korts , he is the director of the agency do fen express, the host of the

military summary of the day, serhiy welcomes you, please. with the word "congratulations to you, vasyl" i congratulate our viewers of the espresso channels, today we will talk about what will be in the new package of military aid usa for ukraine about when will be our long-awaited western south or maybe it has already started and with our expert we will talk about how the rashist army is trying to prepare new cannon fodder for the war in ukraine, about this in a moment a new us aid package for ukraine should be entered tomorrow, monday, august 8, as reported by the reuters agency with a message to own sources in the pentagon, the new tranche was formed by ammunition for heimers, anti-aircraft missiles for the nasans system, as well as fifty m-113 medical transporters for understanding 1 billion dollars this is the amount that the

ministry of defense planned for the purchase of weapons for all the armed forces for the whole year in the 21st year, but when we talk about this 1 billion in the conditions of today's reals in the conditions of these hostilities we understand that war and ammunition and missiles are very expensive, and we can now, for example, use the example of the same missiles that we see on the screen, to calculate it, in particular, according to the sam missile systems that we want to receive from the united states . there will be two of them. we have not received them yet, but they are already being prepared for transfer to ukraine and they were provided for in the package of preliminary financial assistance from july 1st, we expect two uh, two complexes in total, for which 144 missiles will be needed, so it seems that the cost of each missile for complex alone is about 4 million dollars, this

means that from a package of 1 billion, almost 560 million dollars will go to the minimum number of missiles that are necessary for use, then from the complexes to the e-e to the sams, it should also be mentioned that we purchase and receive high-precision ammunition for himers systems and about 400 million , if we take into account the cost of one high-precision projectile in the range of 150,000, then we get another 3,000 missiles for himers, which we desperately need on the battlefield, that is, from 400 million for 400 million dollars, we get up to three thousand missile to mlrs and heimers, the rest - 50 million will be just enough to get m113 medical armored personnel carriers,

which we desperately need on the battlefield, because they ensure just the quick evacuation of the wounded and the survival of our fighters on the battlefield, the cost of each machine within one million is precisely determined by the necessary medical equipment installed on these machines, in general, we can say that we will now receive financial assistance from the united states and military assistance in the package of those 40 billion dollars that were announced this may 13 billion of these 40 billion were directed directly to military needs last year. i think that we have already received within 10 billion, and we will receive the remaining three billion over the next two months during august and september, and then lend-lease begins, which starts something a different format for the receipt of military aid, but the

pace will also be high enough, as at one time it was determined in the states that started that the us policy towards ukraine will be such that russia does not defeat ukraine on the battlefield, of course i would like to the wording was somewhat different for ukraine to defeat russia, but we will already prove this directly ourselves on the line of contact as an athlete . the foreign press and various developments are precisely tied to the situation in the south, where , in particular, british intelligence recently reported that russia's war against ukraine will enter a new phase and into more intense combat operations with on the front with a length of about 350 km from zaporizhzhia

to kherson, and intelligence claimed that russian troops were massing in the south, expecting either a counteroffensive from ukraine or preparing for their own offensive . other foreign publications said that russia had transferred a significant number of troops to the south, now there are 25,000 10,000 of which are just on the western bank of the dnieper around kherson and that the decisive weeks or months of the war are about to begin, on which the future situation in the relations between ukraine and russia and the future vision of eh will depend in the development of hostilities, but such words regarding decisive critical importance, i think that it is hardly worth using in such assessments, because we remember the situation of the battle for donbas, which also said that it was decisive and critically difficult, but

the armed forces came out of this situation with dignity , first of all, preserving the combat capability of all military units that took part in hostilities, but the situation in the south is really extremely important for us in view of a number of factors that really indicate that victory in the south we need a concrete offensive operation because first of all kherson and the kherson oblast are freed from them - this is an improvement of mykolaiv and odesa crimea will then be under the fire of our high-precision means that we have today and will have in the near future with greater capabilities and actually this is an important psychological effect both for ukraine and for the west, given that we will take a significant step towards defeating the enemy. this is actually our concept of hostilities for the summer and autumn. i think that

it will be implemented in turn by the enemy is of course trying to act in a different way and to implement the concept of such a winter company and a cold winter and a cold this company putin needs in order to shake the anti-putin coalition in view of the fact that it will be difficult for europe to survive this winter, but i think that these are actually unnecessary fears and the situation at the front will be in our favor . at the same time, i will repeat that the enemy is really transferring a significant amount of equipment to the kherson direction - these are airborne units and units from the 30th fifth army of the eastern district. the potential can be used for the offensive on mykolaiv, as some experts say, and for advancing on zaporozhye on the right and left banks of the dnieper, but this is a theoretical message, because in

reality the potential of those groups that are currently accumulated, especially in view of the forces that concern troops directly, they are unable to carry out long-term offensive operations, especially since we remember that the grouping of troops on the right bank of the dnieper is extremely important and extremely vulnerable in view of the fact that we can to destroy the enemy at the expense of our artillery systems and at the expense of the cutting of logistical connections that connect the right bank of the dnieper to the left bank, in particular, the strikes on the panton bridge on the bridge around on on on near novaya kakhovka , we know and know the results of these actions, but so far we see that the ukrainian army quite calmly and sparingly use this option of covering the crane which provides for the russian troops and at any opportunity this potential

can be used to the full extent and so that in fact, we can say that the counteroffensive in the south is taking place using such an asymmetric approach with the main emphasis on the destruction of command posts, storage bases and controlled possibilities of influence on the russian troops on the right bank of the dnieper, so that this offensive actually goes when the offensive begins with the use of of these forces, which will also be extremely necessary for the liberation of the right part of the territory near kherson, and here i will take into account the statements of shakhtar rnbola, all of danilov, who yesterday tried to explain when exactly the counteroffensive in the south will take place. he said that the military knows its business, knows when it needs to start, and most importantly, how quickly, with no less losses, it is useful for our

country to do something useful, so, according to him, you need to be patient in order to see it with your own eyes therefore , we are gaining patience, but we understand that these offensive actions and actions to liberate kherson will really take place quickly enough, precisely in the summer period of her campaign, and the thief, in turn, as we can see , has recently suffered from casualties arend corporation made an extremely interesting study that showed that in fact a whole generation of russian military e-e and managers and junior staff and sergeants was washed away at the expense of e-e the first stage of the war in the east in on the territory of ukraine where the enemy suffered extremely significant losses and now we will talk with our expert ivan krychevsky about how the enemy

is now trying to regain his strength what recipes is he preparing now and what consequences will it have in practice ivan greets you good evening first the question of what measures the enemy is currently taking to somehow compensate for the loss of its manpower, what ideological, financial or organizational foundations are being laid for such actions, what consequences this may have, that is, to emphasize such and such a point that at once four members of the russian federation are trying to recruit manpower, that is, first , the army of the russian federation directly, the armed forces of ukraine, the second, no matter how strange it sounds, but the so-called first and second army corps of the armed forces of the russian federation, that is, which are based on the territory of the russian federation. they are also trying to recruit uh, well, you know, new fighters on the territory of

rostov and other border regions of the russian federation. of the russian federation, which was released on the registration of the so-called volunteer battalions that should be formed there to replenish the losses of the russian army in live targets. and the fourth is the so-called private military companies. that is, there is wagner or the dude-league, who are there now appear in our summaries about the fact that the russians are trying to throw such manpower there for let's say this or to replenish the losses, let's say, that is, to replenish the losses received during the battle against the application or just the opposite in order to accumulate an evil force that is not p- which is just necessary in order to yes, at least somehow try to break the situation in favor of the kremlin-kremlin, we are in the east of ukraine, and as

for any financial or biological factors there, well, let's say yes, what should we say first of all? there is the kremlin and, let's say, the entities authorized by it, they primarily put financial motivation there, that is, that in the first place, in order to recruit some manpower there, the russians put their recruits there. 000 rubles a month there, regardless of when this portrait would be taken, either at the beginning of the month or at the end, but on the other hand, it seems that what is at stake here is primarily ideological motivation, as we can rely on different kinds of interviews with our prisoners of war there to find out, for example, first of all, the russians process their recruits there, so that is, here in ukraine there is such a chronic threat, there is an irresistible threat, that is, the mythical nazis who must be defeated, and then from above and the trees, such a

motivation that there they say, sign up the head of the armed forces . that is, the formation of the armed forces, namely the armed forces of the russian federation . defeat such an insurmountable threat in the form of mythical nazis and receive 200,000 rubles a month, but no only this, let's say, the motivation is not working, we can find out even on such an example as early as may 2021 there was a threat that each subject of the russian federation should form a volunteer battalion. if each of the subjects of the russian federation is enough for 400 revolutions, that is 30 million 32,000 baguettes that can break the situation somewhere on the front, plus the armed forces of the russian federation planned to form the so-called third army corps of 15,000 bayonets, which is there, as of august 15, should have reached

operational readiness and be ready to advance on kyiv again from the side of the white perebyu, what is the current situation from the point of view of formation? as i understand now, the enemy has lost 42,000 personnel , it is almost two-thirds of the trained personnel who were there during the hostilities. now we are talking about the fact that they cannot form the e corps, the third corps, this reserve that she advertised there - they advertised money for training and for e-e the selection of volunteer battalions is not enough. and now they resort to the fact that they even go to the colonies and look for the future conditions of the russian army there. what is happening in this direction when they are already recruiting reinforcements for the russian army from prison? proved unable to replenish their losses of the russian army there precisely because

they would have been unable to replenish their losses there at the expense of the third army corps or the mechanism of the so-called dobrochel-battalions they were forced to resort to cutting down these so -called convicts there in the colonies of the russian federation because i, let 's put it this way, i don't think the problem is that there in russia, we didn't manage to form the so-called doborol army corps or battalion, not even that there money holder for enough rubles. they can always print the problem is that the russians were not able to adjust there in accordance with the ideological motivation because let's say the russians , when there were still in may there were conversations there and theirs there, i will try to calculate the mobilization, it was about the fact that, on the one hand, they tell their population there on tv that there are some nazis here, and on the other hand, they were motivated by the promise of a cosmic settlement of 10,000 rubles, and it turns out that they themselves spoiled the ideological mechanism that could

theoretically would attract well, there are some there tens of thousands of literally all these so-called bayonets ivan thank you to our viewers, i will remind you that it was ivan kyrychevsky, an expert of the defense express, and we understand that russia did not make any attempts to in order to increase the number of personnel, they all know that our land is mortal if they continue to climb on our land, and to you, vasyl, i will give you the word express and the leaders of the column, the military results of the day, and literally from minute to minute, yuri fizer will tell us about events outside the borders ukraine, the world during the war, but you know , the world during the war, we always want to look for those in the world who will support us, but maturity forces us to think and accept reality
