authorities are in the hands of the authorities, and even without this document, they cannot leave, and people simply turn around and return and wait until the owners of the routes, the owners of transport, can issue these documents in order to leave. infrastructure, etc., that is, the occupiers have created a list of persons whom they consider necessary to be in the territory, and so far they have not found a replacement for them, and sometimes they are not even looking for how can energodar, people cannot leave, they simply do not release them, they are held hostage by the occupiers , their families are held hostage because they cannot leave, they do not have the opportunity to leave when they leave by private ato vehicles because they do not let them, and so on and so on that's why it's similar and this situation is already quite critical. you already have thousands of people who called it the death of not only zaporizhzhia oblast. it's among the residents of kherson oblast who failed to leave the football region of donetsk oblast

who are possible to leave through zaporizhzhia the vasyliv checkpoint and the big question how many of those people will remain in the unoccupied territories and how many will return, because some of them may still be businessmen or volunteers, and everyone who left is counted. i thank you very much for your comments. thank you for joining our ethereum. god bless take care of you take care of yourself serhii leshchenko , a volunteer deputy of the zaporizhia regional council, was in touch with us about this threatening situation in the zaporizhia region, we can hope that the mission will still reach the atomic power plant, certain agreements will be reached , it is clear that putin will not give up war, but there are certain rules, the usual rules of war, and this is nuclear terrorism, and what is interesting is that the country and nato members clearly state that if there is a radiation leak at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, it can be considered how is aggression against one of the nato member countries, if there is aggression by one of the countries in

nato today, then the fifth article comes into effect and all the countries that joined nato enter the war or turn to this putin would not like it very much because, you know , he will not join, but thousands, possibly a million people in ukraine will suffer from this. uh, odeshchyu with five rockets. please tell me the latest information about the consequences of these enemy strikes, what can be said, please, we actually had a symphony of air alarm signals all night at three o'clock, about uh, late, such emotions in the city are the minister's missile strike, five cruise missiles from the sea base, you in the caliber from the black sea wanted to odessa and the odesa region, two missiles were destroyed by our air defense forces for this, what always respect and they are honored through thanksgiving, but three rockets flew in, flew

in an agricultural enterprise, unfortunately, they hit a granary and part of the grain of this particular enterprise of the current harvest was unfortunately destroyed, the most important thing, on the other hand, is that they people suffered, that's why today we don't talk about the people of god killed peaceful citizens and wounded and this. once again i say the most important thing is that we fully understood that the enemy, having increased the number of missile-carrying ships of the exact caliber in the black sea, will try to buy us because missile attacks are constant, they are the biggest threat today for our region and our city, and we currently have five such ships in the black sea in the evening, precisely in the zone from which pieces can be made and these missiles . by the way, they threaten not only our region but other the regions of ukraine have five missile carriers, i emphasize

that there are submarines among them, and the enemy has also increased the grouping of the black sea fleet, which is actually closer to the coast of the temporarily occupied crimea, at the moment there are 15 ships and qataris, well, plus or minus, they change the number of groups there, but on average 15 that is, we see that the enemy is increasing during this time the number of its warships, so of course we are ready for any scenario, which enemy he will not change, this is missile terror - this is an attempt to destroy our infrastructure the economic potential, which despite the war and shelling, it remains, it is developing as much as possible under the conditions of wartime. well, of course, let's not forget about the enemy aviation, it is quite actively trying to carry out air development this week, and these air alarm signals that we heard during the week are exactly that and the actions of the enemy aircraft were noted. by the way,

about the enemy aircraft, soon on august 24th we will celebrate the 31st anniversary of the independence of ukraine and now . therefore, both in kyiv and in the kharkiv region there are certain reservations in particular, the employees of the ukrainian government were asked to stay at home and work remotely on the 24th , because these threats hit uh-uh on the spot hit uh-uh the cities of decision-making, you know, they can try to implement them somewhere. of course, some of us are even closer to these enemy ships or are there any plans for what can be said again, it is possible that there is some information there, no, no, it should not be voiced, are there any plans for how independence day will be celebrated in odesa, odesa region, or will there be appeals to people as much as possible not to gather in some large groups and celebrate as much as possible behind-the -scenes and without the risk that a large number of people may get hurt somewhere, please see the question, the most important thing for us and for you and for all ukrainians is that we are our

independence day and another anniversary, the birthday , the day of the restoration of the independence of our state we will note everything equally, first of all in our hearts and in our souls, as for certain measures, well, let's say that there is a desire, if there is such a desire, then people will focus on the conditions under which it can be carried out if such events are planned we usually talk about what is the first thing we call on people not to ignore the air warning signals because there is no warning instructor during the war, this is clear, we talk all the time about the fact that there should not be mass gatherings of people these days yes no only these days, you know from the other side when we talk about these days of our celebrations, well, i may not be speaking correctly about the celebrations. yes, but it means 100%. then we must not forget that we didn't have february 24. well, let's say that, not quite the correct word is nevertheless the most frightening. it is not more

frightening than today, or will the enemy come up with something new to increase the intensity of missile strikes? well, i think that we have such cities that can withstand this mass of fire as well as odesa, not less, but much more. therefore, before all the safety rules for understanding what is happening and the absence of panic, we are in the process today, we are talking, you know the literal, and fear - these are the most important factors that can move people and push them to some not quite adequate solutions, informing, informing again, informing again, and we are talking about the rules for this. today , we had two detonations of demining mines, which broke off from this very anchor . what happened as it happened life goes on we fight and hope we believe not only the armed forces first of all as our

victory thank you but i just wanted to ask about landmines and you already told me why thank you i wish you success. take care and may god protect odesa and odesa. serhiy bratchuk, the spokesman for the head of the odesa regional military administration, was in touch with us, so i will remind you once again that, in particular , for government officials who work in government premises in kyiv, it is not only in the city center. well, they in the center of the city, mainly in this room, there is the ministry of finance, the ministry of its justice, they are there where kryvskyi was, where khreshchatyk was, where hrushevsky was scattered in various places, but they asked government officials for independence day. well, preferably for work don't come to work remotely, maybe there will be some people responsible, but there is such a wish, so i think such a wish should be for all ukrainians, too, plan this day and plan this time, it is possible to meet relatives and loved ones, hold an online celebration with close- ups if they are not available in ukraine , try to understand that the enemy is the bloody enemy. unfortunately, there is no morality, so yes, we will

talk about it, because independence day is tomorrow, so it will be time to talk about it, now is the time for serhiy zgurets he is the director of the defect express agency and the host of the military summaries of the day column serhiy good evening . i wish you a word. i congratulate you and congratulate our viewers of the espresso channel today in the military summaries of the day about the new or almost new weapons that the ukrainian army will receive for the first time about the situation on the fronts and about is the war with russia really moving into the so-called exhaustion phase, about this in a moment, we already talked about the new us military aid package in the amount of 775 million dollars, which became the third in august. and in general, since february, rest the states gave us $10 billion in aid. and let me remind you that $1 billion is actually the amount of spending

that was allocated at the best times of the year for the rearmament of the armed forces of ukraine in a new package . fighter jets in the mig-29, and this actually became the answer to the mystery of which planes we really use these missiles that crush the russian air defense system, and we also receive howitzers and ammunition for them the karl gustav systems are transferred, the well -known jewellins, but i single out at least three interesting samples of weapons that we will receive for the first time, first of all, these are the scan eagle unmanned aerial systems - these are drones manufactured by the boeing company and the institute was bought by the boeing company - these drones are capable of flying at a distance of 150 km they weigh 15 kg and can

stay in the air for 24 hours. these are the complexes that we will directly direct for the needs of our artillery because these complexes are capable of to carry out reconnaissance both day and night, this is actually a system that our artillery and our artillery brigades desperately need, because in view of the active nature of the conduct of hostilities, equipped with unmanned systems in various mechanized art brigades there is from 50 to 20%, because we are losing them from the fire of the enemy and we are losing under the influence of russian rem, so that relatively speaking, the arrival of these systems will really strengthen the capabilities of our artillery and this is a significant indicator for the effective use of means of impression much higher than it is today. by the way, this eagle scan complex from the insigno company is one of the few complexes capable of such

volumes, with a weight of 15 km, it can be said to be in the air for almost a day, and there is a ukrainian system called ics3, which is being developed and manufactured the skateon company, which actually in the same segment is represented in the world ranking of developers without paid complexes and such systems are actually only manufactured by five companies in the world , so that in any case it is an example of an unmanned techniques, we absolutely need a second unexpected e-e sample of weapons that will be in this package, these are actually toy anti-tank complexes, which are one of the most famous in the world, we should get about 1,500 such systems, the peculiarity of these field complexes is that they were made back in 70 they have various modifications, they are capable of destroying enemy targets there at a

range of 3.5 km to 4.5 km, but actually this is a second-generation complex that is controlled by wires, that is, actually by wires that allow, on the one hand, to stably guide this missile to the target but the complex is quite heavy and it weighs 70 kg , it is quite difficult to drag it, but we understand that obtaining such a weapons system requires additional platforms from which they can be used for this, in particular, or cars or bradley infantry fighting vehicles, and i think that this er weapons sector we need from in view of the further strengthening of anti-tank defense due to the use of javelin complexes and other models, on the other hand, this transfer of equipment can be explained by the fact that the stugna complexes are probably running out of stock ukrainian production and this proposal to the

united states to provide stow complexes precisely meets this need. the third type of weaponry, which does not actually apply to the american aid package, is actually already an appeal from the ukrainian side to germany. this ammunition is considered one of the most modern in the world , the 155 mm system is not used for guns, this ammunition is capable of impressing targets on distances of 70 km and in fact, they can be controlled depending on the modification and ensure hitting the target almost from the first shot, such ammunition is extremely valuable, they

are expensive, but the fact that the ukrainian army decided to purchase them means that we want to move from quantitative indicators in the use of artillery to precisely the qualitative capabilities, when not the number of means of impact, but precisely the quality of the guaranteed occurrence, all from the first shot is just right and ensures the capabilities of such weapons systems, while it is decided that these purchases are to be carried out at the expense of the german government , that is, germany is now becoming a partner in the supply of these ammunitions as well as funds of the european union, and these ammunitions will primarily be used from german howitzer shells, which are the best systems in the 155 mm caliber, but in any case, this system is themselves continue to be improved in view of the combat experience that these systems received during intensive

use in ukraine, so why are we talking in such detail about new weapons for the armed forces that in fact it is about evaluating the prospects of conducting hostilities between the armies of ukraine and the army of the russian federation, because weapons are actually an important component of the balance or imbalance in the capabilities of the armies of the two countries. well, as an example, the army of russia has huge reserves of weapons - this is true, but now it has to be ironed out reserves, since it has already used its most modern models and general firepower, in particular, there already in terms of artillery, aviation, and missiles, so far, russia really retains an advantage, although not so significantly from which it started, but the enemy lacks motivated personnel, ukraine, on the contrary, the situation is fundamentally different, it lacks the number of weapons, but

now we are trying to conduct combat operations with the help of more modern and effective approaches to the use of those technological samples that we will receive from our foreign partners, and against the background of this precisely conclusions begin to be formed as to whether both armies are capable of conducting offensive actions or not. now begins the phase of exhaustion when neither side is able to ensure the solution of tasks directly on the battlefield. so, whether it is true or not, we will talk about this topic with mikhail samus, he is the head of the ancient organization new geopolitics network, as well as the deputy director of the army conversion and disarmament research center, mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you. i congratulate you, mr. serhiy. i would like to ask the first question that the representatives of both the

american and british developments indicate that neither ukraine nor russia currently have sufficient opportunities to turn the tide in their favor. carefully observe the course of hostilities and the situation on the fronts, and therefore the question arises whether we are really saying that we have reached such a protracted war of attrition and whether such conclusions may be premature and the situation looks much more complicated. what are your assessments of the current composition of hostilities? if we talk about the terms, then some hoped that the war would end very quickly, but of course we understood that it was impossible because putin set the task of destroying the ukrainian state ukraine a-a has shown a-a powerful resistance - this means that russia is really forced to go to the stage of a war of attrition. another question is whether

russia has enough in its resources . will try in any way to drag this war through the winter into the spring, trying to strangle europe and ukraine precisely not by military means, but by energy economic means, and this is exactly what the russians have the greatest hope, it looks quite, quite quite, the truth is similar because when we look at the progress hostilities, indeed, in the east, russia is currently trying to hold back the possibility of stabilization of the front with separate tactical assaults and is trying to keep it constantly under tension so that the ukrainian troops cannot move, shift their focus, for example, to the south, and in the southern direction, their task is, on the contrary, to hold back ukrainian attempts before the offensive and er, such a map was very interesting, it was published in all the

media regarding the progress on the front in the last month, there was a red and a black line. you can see that none of the parties had such great success, even on such a strategic map, success is not noticeable at all, and this means that we are really at such a stage when the parties managed to create a balance for ukraine, of course, this is good for ukraine, this is a chance to move on everything is at the stage of more successful actions when we talk about the high use of high-precision weapons about the use of intelligence data complexes about the use of those means that can already affect crimea and other occupied territories more effectively and for this is really a problem for russia from a military point of view. they stopped too early, as far as i am concerned, because winter is still far away, they still have to endure. in fact, we have not

yet finished august, which is september, october , november. and what should russia do for all three months? this is really a problem for the russians. commanders, will they be able to maintain such a balancing front for these three months, or will the ukrainian army still break this balance in some directions and begin to form its own agenda, its own model of the development of hostilities? well, by the way, we are talking about the strategy of determination, why i do not mention this repeatedly, because it seems to me that, relatively speaking, in the evaluations of analytics, there is a too primitive approach, and i think that another mistake is the strategy of exhaustion, which assumes that, er, we uh- uh, someone exhausts the enemy before the offensive, and on the other hand, this is exhaustion - it is when neither side is able to carry out offensive actions, it is on the defensive, so i think that now the strategy is exhausted, this is exactly the echo of the strategy of ukraine, which creates conditions for the exhaustion of the enemy in exactly the directions you are talking about

the south said this directly, the topic and crimea and the actions in crimea just confirm that this strategy of attrition has already increased in format from the ukrainian side and has already moved to the territory of the peninsula . and mental defense of the enemy. well, from an informational, psychological, and ideological point of view, these are tectonic owls, that is, until the last moment, even when there were strikes on purchased territories, even when there were strikes on the kursk or boretsky regions, it was not such effect, because it was believed that the russian regions adjacent to the zone, as they say, were carrying out a so -called special military operation, well, of course , there may be certain xs and incidents, and here there is a massive breach in the ideological model that was built especially since the 14th year when putin

said that crimea is ours and this is his e value is not such a value not e-e i would say e-e configuration how is all his other postulates based on all his other proposals ideas e-e to advance and to the west and against ukraine, that is, if we say that it turns out that crimea is not so protected , so what can we talk about other directions, er, those proposed by putin, i.e. along with the fact that crimea has ceased to be a sacred cow that cannot be touched, it breaks and collapses in general, this approach of er, russians that what putin says is absolutely correct, it is in fact sacred, it cannot be broken in any way, the ukrainians have now broken this holy uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-heh-of-the-holy-

holy -myth-of-inviolable-crimea the foundations are the foundations of putin's regime in fact breaks down from a military point of view, it is obvious that we are dealing with the study of the air defense system in general, the study of the defense system and response in general, the response ability of the russian armed forces or the occupying continent of the russian armed forces located in crimea, and in general the ability of russia as a system to react to what is being done to their sacred cow putin's sacred cow i think that ukraine has passed the test here perfectly i think that everything has been done very correctly and the air defense system has been tested has been revealed and now we can expect that we will deal with the next stages, which of course only the command of the armed forces of ukraine knows, but i think that it will look even more effective and beautiful from the point of view of breaking through these ideological and such

walls that putin built with his regime very good answer actually i absolutely agree with your approaches but you mentioned putin's winter company and putin's orientation towards prolonging the war there is such a uh hmm british analyst lorenz friedman and who wrote about what they had or strict winter weather will be accompanied by a difficult choice regarding the future initiation of war, and therefore it is extremely important that ukraine conducts the largest part of its operations in the summer. well, in the fall, in the fall , there and then until the beginning of the winter winter period, but there is another point of view, there are such kurt volk-volker, you his you know very well who actually is a supporter and such an ardent certain ally of ukraine in actions regarding our combat operations and he says that in reality the situation in winter should be evaluated in

different ways, in particular he says that winter will really affect the combat operations at the front, but most of all, as he says, it will affect the russian army because the russians are further from their land , it will be more difficult for their military to receive supplies of food, fuel, weapons, etc. and this creates opportunities for ukraine already in the winter and also means that in the spring the russian army will be completely exhausted, and therefore autumn is not such a critical limit as some analysts say, so here, from your point of view, your positions, your assessments of the situation are closer to the position of friedman or kurt volker to the opposition all the same kurtovalker although on the other hand, well, i simply do not understand how it is possible to form any work in general, especially at a strategic level, focusing on some terms, after all, other parameters are of primary importance here, this is fire

copper - this is the ability to e- e effective conduct of hostilities, the concentration of its efforts and and in turn, the enemy e-e will not be able to construct such efforts and so on. that is, it is not about time, but about the ability to create the right conditions for conducting operations for coordinated actions under a single the plan, and the task, as they say, that is, if we say, and when it is more profitable to conduct operations of the armed forces of ukraine in the fall, winter, or spring. i think that operations can be conducted at any time of the year, the modern armed forces are ready for this, but of course it is necessary have prepared a-a prepared group prepared tools and if we say that just er-er from september an even more massive supply of the latest weapons and military equipment of the armed forces of ukraine will begin, then i think that even if ukraine does not

it will be possible to implement all a-a goals, all the ideas that are set now er-e by winter, there will be nothing terrible if all this is transferred to the winter company. and i absolutely agree with the fact that for the russians in the winter , a huge question will arise again about the logistics of a-a, especially the southern group there will really be huge problems there, and it will be very, very difficult to maintain a group with such a shoulder of supplies. i'm not talking about the donbas, in principle , there were no big problems for the russians there for eight years and there won't be any, but in the south there will really be huge problems, so i don't i would see a tragedy that the ukrainian armed forces will conduct their operations in the fall with a woman in the spring. the main thing here is that the russians should not be able to offer anything new in principle on the battlefield. thank you for these interesting explanations to our viewers. main military results this day and even more

military, political and economic news from my colleagues, stay tuned to the espresso channel. agencies and franz express, the host of the column, military summaries of the day and have a lot of information for you. ukrainians abroad are calling to help our armed forces, for this you only need to join the action before independence day outside of ukraine. now there is a direct connection between support from pro-ukrainian activists who are constantly coming out for actions in support of ukraine in their cities abroad and the international aid of our army , you can read more about the initiative on the page of the founder of the project, vitaliy deinega, also of the organization partners of the ukrainian witness invite you to join the large-scale events outside of ukraine, attend all the events in the video filmed at advanced military positions, and invite the ukrainian military, dear

beloved ukrainians who are currently abroad, the war is very important in all its ways, and the support of the military is extremely important for us, come out on august 24 on the streets of your cities and demand the supply of heavy weapons for ukraine, because without this i am an aggressor only with machine guns far in the rear and we still have a lot to release we rely on you, with your help, we will definitely defeat any enemy. thanks to you, everything will be fine. ukraine is actively involved. i am voicing one piece of information from the head of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, valentin reznichenko, which he wrote. as a result of enemy shelling, six people were wounded and killed
