musician . he, uh, well, he wasn't a vocalist, he didn't have such a developed vocal. he couldn't surprise the audience with his vocals, but he had something in him that attracted people like a magnet, cheerful energetic with a sense of humor, but at the same time very deep and philosophical, this is how andrii kuzmenko is remembered, one of the soloists, zinov karach , he had to work on the set with kuzma many times . masks to then go to our scenes and found out that it is so difficult to shoot them because andrii has such a spare provincial approach to his lines to visan, which you need to get out so that you just in one fine moment they stopped and gave him free rein to go crazy as he wanted, and as a result the commercial came out not exactly according to the script, but rather what was managed to mold from everything

arranged by andriy the father and the singer, convinced that the son's songs now play a huge role in the establishment of ukrainian of culture and state andriy always said that you don't need to write and sing patriotic songs already when such a critical moment has come, when ato is going on, is there a war , you need to write them all the time, sing them all the time well, then there will be education, you need to write something that reflects the essence of your nation andriyka, after all, although his life was short, he lived not stupidly and made a great contribution to the development of musical culture and the ukrainian language in general, he sang what he saw and saw what he sang because in his there is no tempo in the songs, every song is the same. it is like his separate work from ukrainian literature. andrii kuzmenko has been gone for seven years, but his

songs still do not lose their relevance. they have been known and sung since childhood, and concerts are still sold out. that's why the organizers decided to make a kuzma festival for me, and every year on august 17 to gather and sing his songs together, eh, your wife, us, war, war, khrystyna parubiy, oleg palamar, espresso tv channel, and kuzma also has a song that quite well characterizes the russian nazis about what they are and how much they are they like to fight, well, just a moment, i have everything, i will be waiting for you in this studio at 14:00, stay with us, read more about important events on the espresso website, also subscribe to our channels on social networks, youtube, telegram, instagram like twitter and see you at 14:00

i congratulate week and let's take a look first, our colleagues prepared a story for us summarizing this week so that it would be somehow more vivid. so let's give a map of the hostilities in ukraine, an overview of the events of august 10-16. the southern front, kherson region , zaporizhzhia and crimea. attack on the antonov bridge during an attempt by enemy equipment to move along it, as a result, the equipment was blown up and one of the bridge's supports was partially destroyed a few days earlier, similar blows were inflicted on the bridge in the area of the kakhovka hpp thus, all the routes for the transfer of russian troops to the right bank of the dnieper were destroyed and reliably covered by artillery, cut off from the main part of the occupying army, about 22,000 soldiers remained, who were spread over 260 km of the front line. that is, each

thousand of the enemy was responsible for approximately more than 11 km of the front in a situation when help will not come to them and ammunition is becoming less and less because new warehouses and bases are exploding every day, it is interesting that reinforcements were previously collected from the eastern front and from the new reserves, it went to the right bank for the offensive on mykolaiv or kryvyi rih, and what remained on the left, now 27 battalion-tactical groups are concentrated here, the majority of the leadership of the southern army fled here, leaving their soldiers and lower-ranking commanders in a trap on the right bank, they say, survive yourself as you know, at the same time , the armed forces demonstrate that the enemy will not hide and on the left bank, on august 15, they struck a double blow at military facilities in the crimea. at first, for several hours, a military base in the village of azovske for 16 km from the main railway junction in dzhankoya due to the detonation of ammunition, railway and any other movement in dzhankoya was stopped, and a

few hours later explosions were heard at the military air base in gvardiysky, which is 13 km from simferopol, from the front line to simferopol is no less than 270 km, and this means that either ukrainian subversive groups have been traveling from one military base to another for the second week or we have long-range weapons, which no one has officially announced yet, meanwhile in kherson region they are closed as cockroaches in the bank, the occupying forces are trying to create the appearance of active actions. this week, they again tried to knock out the ukrainian troops from the bridgehead on the left bank of the ingul river south of the david's ford, and also conducted unsuccessful assaults in the direction of the green grove of new hryhorivka. in response, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed seven warehouses and military bases in boryslav, kakhovka, genichesky districts of kherson oblast, as well as a military base and warehouse in nova kakhovka, and warehouses in the villages of vesele bohrativka, novopetrivka, and periwinkle in zaporizhzhia oblast the occupiers became more active in the vuglegirsk region and the

villages of yehorivka and pavlivka, where the ukrainian army had previously counterattacked. line landed two k-52 fire support helicopters, instead, on august 12, the rashisti hit zaporizhzhia with five missiles, and the next day fired at to nikopol, 40 rockets from the rsv - hail also reached manganese in the kryvyi rih region, they shell the zelenodol and apostoliv communities on a daily basis, but the most dangerous are their attacks on the largest nuclear plant in europe, the zaporizhzhia npp in energodar, there is already a hit near the first power unit and damage to monitoring sensors and nitrogen-oxygen stations donetsk and kharkiv, although the number of russian troops in donetsk

has decreased, but the number of artillery remains still quite serious right here during the week the fiercest battles took place, it was extremely hot on the outskirts of donetsk in pisky , at first the occupiers knocked out the defense forces from their positions, but later in a counterattack, the ukrainian military managed to repulse a significant part of the position behind pisky, active battles continue and now the enemy is also trying to advance in the direction of krasnohorivka and pervomaysky somewhat to the south, the invaders managed to advance a few kilometers in the direction of novomykhalivka from the side of the sweet surrounding bachmut under the ring of the russian nazis, but at a very slow pace which they themselves did not count on. in a month and a half, they managed to advance several kilometers in several areas of the front south of bakhmut, and in the future the situation is the most threatening, the fighting continues. for each village already 15 km from the city, the occupiers are trying to break through the zaytsevo codema and the dacha from the east the enemy advanced somewhat from

the side of pokrovsky and soledar, reaching the outskirts of these settlements, and from the northern side we observe daily fruitless assaults on the city of siversk through ivana dariivka and upper kamiansk, meanwhile, to the north of slavyansk , the defense forces continue to press the enemy, depriving him of part of the previously occupied territories, so the rashists were completely pushed out of bogorodic and also pushed back from krasnopill and mazanivka in the area of ​​the valley, the enemy tried to break through the defense of our units, a senseless assault was repulsed by ukrainian soldiers in the kharkiv region, the front line did not change despite the constant fighting around the regional center, the demilitarization of the warehouses on the eastern front slowed down the pace, and this allowed the enemy to carry out active actions almost along the entire front line in donetsk region and kharkiv region. warehouses and military bases exploded in horlivka . makiivka yasinuvats and three times in donetsk in the occupied armed forces of ukraine struck a targeted attack on the headquarters of the

wagnerites . the most rockets this week arrived in kharkiv and kramatorsk, also outside the front line, during the week there was only one strike on zhytomyr oblast, the fascists are running out of high-precision missiles, and therefore they will strike all they should be prepared less often but more carefully, so they will be more dangerous, at the same time spontaneous combustion of military warehouses is happening more and more often in new territories, in particular gorillas warehouses and the military unit of the moscow air defense in longpond near moscow, the fire spread to an area of ​​1,200 m², similar explosions of unknown origin occurred at the zyabrovka airport near gomel, eyewitnesses reported at least four outbreaks in the kursk region, blew up the railway, the fall of the communications tower in the belgorod region, which the enemy built a deliberate one to monitor ukraine , we are winning daily - death to the enemy so , let's connect our expert oleksandr kovalenko , a military-political viewer of the information

resistance, and let's talk, hello, oleksandr, let's first talk about the eastern direction , literally starting from kharkiv oblast, because that's where today's message is that the enemy is advancing near lebyazhi and basaliivka in the kharkiv region and is remotely mining the area. well, the fighting continues, so we don't say it there, but the russian troops are still biting off bits and pieces in the direction of bakhmut well, one way or another, they are advancing there, i would like to have the opposite story , if it were ours there. if it were so, we were ironing a little in another direction, so you have questions like this, first of all, what goal are they now setting near khai, or near kharkov, with these offensives. well and actually what is the main goal of the russians now under fire. let 's start with kharkiv, i guess. well, about the kharkiv

region, you can definitely say that they will not succeed in occupying the entire region or the beginning of the assault on kharkiv. they continue today e-e the actions they carry out, and they continue to hold the territory and increase the security buffer zone for , first of all, their e-e borders are to the north and north-eastern direction from kharkiv why because it is almost on the border with ukraine that they they are shelling the city at the expense of such complexes as the s300, they are now using them not so much in order to fire at aerial objects, but in order to carry out shelling on the surface, they have reconfigured them due to the shortage of precisely tactical and operational-tactical missile weapons. i mean the trk point-y and the otrk of the cis, today we

can say that they have munitions and approximately anti-aircraft missiles up to s300 - that's 12 to one e-e if compared with the iskander trk , that is, these nine m723 and 9m 728, they are quite scarce, therefore, as a condition, they are trying to keep this particular security zone longer so that it would be impossible for the armed forces of ukraine to somehow prevent these strikes on the territory of the territory they also use the kharkiv region barrel and rocket artillery are sufficiently intensive precisely for these shellings, which cannot be called anything other than a terrorist act, and again, holding these positions is very important for them, and not only for shelling kharkiv, but also so that in the north-eastern direction there is no opportunities for the armed forces of ukraine to advance in

the direction of vovchansk in the direction of the great burluk in the direction of kupyansk and again in the direction of zyol why exactly these four settlements and because they are a component of the logistical artery belohoroda region to the raisin area. and if these arteries are under full fire control of the armed forces of ukraine, or in general if one of them is occupied, that is, it will be completely cut off, this supply will be completely cut off along this route, and then kharkiv region, then this is, of course, the raisin area, where are you from? for almost three months, the offensive is being prepared - a big offensive in the direction of slavic, but it does not start like that, it does not start like that because it is the actions of the armed forces of ukraine to block due to the constant fire impact on their positions and we do not give them the opportunity to fully start these offensive actions, and i do not

rule out that in the near future they will start simulating exactly these offensive actions, and right now we can see it. and before that, about two weeks ago the armed forces of ukraine carried out counteroffensive actions precisely in the kharkiv region and increased not only the gray zone, but also bought several settlements in the direction of a seversk , it could very well be so easy to take a break, because you already mentioned kupyansk e- and we remember that a couple of months ago there was such a story when the ukrainian troops actually destroyed this logistics node, the russians restored it and now continue to supply it, and here the question is whether it makes sense to destroy it again, and can we to do this. well, i would formulate it like this, so we can concentrate the attack on

this logistical node, and when it will be done, well, it is known only to the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. but i think that it is advisable to do this . it is about yansk other e-e objects, other logistics nodes that are within the range of our e-e, if not created, then the rec , in particular, jet artillery, and also further on, this is the direction of seversk. i also do not rule out that in the near future it may be very hot there a-a for today why exactly in this direction, because the russians have not yet been able to close the so-called borders of the so-called lpr, that is, the luhansk region, it is 100% unoccupied, and they stopped right near belogorivka and still remain there, they cannot carry out any large-scale offensive actions well, they were not able to carry out large-scale offensive actions in the direction of seversk, but

still they will need to demonstrate some effectiveness because, well, in general, even in russia, some critics are the ministry of defense of the russian federation, and they noticed that the luhansk region is not yet fully is controlled by the russian occupiers, and this is not about weeks, it is already about months of these promises . indeed, the amount of russian artillery is actually very large. in fact, it can be said that if earlier they had a priority of fire influence on the slavyanska severska bakhmut triangle, this is a wider front of influence - it is more than 30 km before that not only does it affect

offensive actions, but about 3.5-4 weeks ago, they concentrated on exactly two directions, namely bakhmut and avdiyivka, and that is where the concentration of almost a-a main part of the provision of advanced units of the russian occupation forces with ammunition goes fuel and lubricants personnel, again, and it is used primarily plus a-a well, the so-called lpr and dpr, that is, it is their army corps and wagner's mercenaries. they also have some support from units of the russian occupation forces, but it is precisely this concentration that due to the fact that a after a-a they were forced to roll e
