are concentrating their main efforts on reconnaissance and blocking civilian shipping in the northwestern part of the black sea, ukrainian soldiers are steadfastly holding the defense , inflicting losses on the enemy and are ready before any changes in the operational situation, we believe in the armed forces together we will win glory to ukraine manifestation thank you it was the latest summary of the general staff, general operations, quotes regarding the avdiiv direction in particular, we will ask him, a fighter from the defense and a military medic, yegore, we congratulate you. please tell us what the situation is in your direction. how was the night. how was the night? - and they guess, er, explosions are working, and today even an enemy plane was operating. and here, er,

despite the fact that some time ago, and soon it will be aviation day, i will tell this story, er, our plane shot down their plane and here and the enemy is always shelled the city eh constantly tries to break through eh populated areas, in principle the speaker of the general staff said this in detail and reeds are shelling her orlovka the enemy is to break through the city, but he doesn’t think anything of it, i already talked about it during the six months of the war, during the six months of the war, the enemy passed in the direction of avdiiv, well, somewhere like that, no more than 300-400 meters, in

principle, despite the fact that despite all his efforts shelling and everything else, of course, during these six months , the city, these schools, the hospital, every second house was damaged by the shelling. there is probably no neighborhood where a projectile did not fly and explode once . what kind of provision are we talking about, if we talk about the main provision of weapons, the situation, for example, is much better than it was in may, much better because in may, for example, when i first arrived in the avdiiv direction, the situation was very bad and the situation is of course well the better the more the more the better ammunition should be yes this is a separate

story but there are not many of them there is a constant lack of them if and of course we are constantly waiting for replenishment and of course from the general staff in general from our international partners it is like air yes well, i don't know. that is, you used it once and you need it all the time, and you always need fuel , yes, and the second point is that it's a car, a car, too, it rarely happens because the car provides a mobility unit. is they are actually important in the war, that's why they are always there. probably you can read a car on facebook, you need a car, a car is really needed somewhere because, well, because they are also lacking. that's the main thing that they also have er have er context to end, that is, they are from the post some were injured,

some were broken in general, and so on, but with regard to the medical direction, the situation has improved significantly, despite the fact that there are such point problems there with turnstiles and first-aid kits, we emphasize the thread ones, from the point of view of cars, from the point of view of medical the equipment of the chairs and so on, the hospitals are equipped, well , i said, even qualitatively, if compared again with what it was four months ago, in general, if we speak, the situation with provision is improving, if we speak in some specific contexts, then , of course, something is missing, starting from bc, as i said, ending cars and so on, and olya, you were born in donetsk, a person who knows all the problems there and everything related to that region, on september 11, the russians planned to hold a so-called

referendum in donetsk and luhansk, and that's it there was such a real plan that they really wanted and really wanted to carry out on this very day, because in russia, on this day of the election, there is only one day of voting in them, it is called there in various authorities, there are two weeks left until this day, and now i understand that the referendum will be won't there be a so-called referendum in donetsk and luhansk, because they are very much ready to leave until this day. as they say on the borders of their pseudo- formations, new formations, will it happen and what is the fate of this so-called referendum, what do you think? well, they themselves they don't know when there will be another referendum, because there were different statements, some on september 100, others said there were plans after and so on, olesya, of course, their plans, er, their goal was not to achieve that, they wanted to achieve at least some success in the donetsk

region, yes although it is not even that the administration of the border should at least take something from some city. yes, it is large. and they did not take anything. but, apart from partial success in several directions, there, there were literally villages, after the battles, there was nothing left at all, for example, the situation with the sands but here's the thing referendum, well, you know there, i don’t even know who will be there, eh. take part in some referendums because, well, there are no men left there, and they all captured them and sent them to fight. they are either killed or captured. i’m not kidding now, i’m not exaggerating they were either killed because they didn't know how to fight, they were actually shown on the bus how to take a machine gun, and that's an

exaggeration, uh, in the main intelligence department, denys kazansky, for example, interviewed prisoners and they confirmed this information to him, and here it is or if they are not killed, they are lucky, they are just captured, so there are men left in the donetsk region, some of them continue to be children in the basement and hide from being thrown to the front, from actually being drafted. therefore, these, of course , these fake referendums, they can in any to choose a date, in any case, no referendum, no elections, voting there, freedom in the principle of equality, and so on, nothing will happen, so all they have to do is choose a day, put a tick and say that a referendum was held, open one uh, the precinct to rush the queue there, so for pictures for our russian channels, we didn’t have much time, three days ago there was a blow to the

administration of the head of the so-called dnr, denys pushylin, and they called the heads to blame the ukrainian side for this. is your countryman. he said that it was not a fact that it was the ukrainian armed forces, it could have been an imitation of these donetsk bandits who seized power there. we applied, and here we are, well, believe me, there in donetsk, they are not up to imitation. they are very scared, they are very scared that if in may we could only fire at the positions with hail , then they went to the extreme point of avdiivka and fired, exposing their artillery on the danger and it was of course with difficulties, now it’s not that there is donetsk in uh tell me in

shakhtarsk and well shakhtarsky region uh it’s a mining town it’s located on the outskirts of donetsk region even you can fly there and it’s 100 km well there about 100 km from our extreme positions, that's why they are usually scared, they are in such a certain state. well, in a scared state, that's about the fact that our artillery and our weapons are now reaching their positions. i know for sure that we were shooting them, that's when this explosion at the headquarters once happened that's why there will still be surprises in august, now it's the end of august, but there will be again in september, we know where their positions are, their headquarters, their warehouses , their logistics, and so on, we know all this and all

this will soon be destroyed, and i think that even they they know everything and are aware, that's why they are so scared. thank you yehor firsov. thank you, a soldier of the terroboro defense, a military medic , we talked about the avdiyiv direction and we are going further to the kherson oblast. glory to ukraine, to ukraine, to the kherson region, in particular, how did this day start in your region. this night was tense. the enemy continues to focus on holding their positions. our armed forces continue to have the initiative. by the way, air strikes that were carried out tonight on ork positions and artillery strikes are being transmitted from kherson and from the occupied kherson region that again

explosions were heard near the antoniv bridge, traditionally as of late, the occupiers are stubbornly setting up various crossings in that including the floating crossing there made of mincemeat, they are now arranging and hastily repairing the road surface of the antonov bridge and crossing it with these floating pontoons that they made near the antonov bridge, they are playing them explosions were heard by boats, again traditionally in recent times in novaya kakhovka in boryslav, that is , our armed forces consistently destroy the television, the enemy's stocks are just keeping the transport artery under fire control, that is, today is such a day, you know. well, a busy artillery

day, as they say, and night mr. sergey, what is there in more detail about the bridge, because we, er, literally yesterday was the last message, so it is not suitable for movement now, why is it being repeatedly hit, this bridge is not suitable for movement after the last explosions, well, the occupiers closed it off, and after the last explosions, again, you know, they haven’t adjusted in recent times, and they made such a certain supply of construction materials for themselves, and near the antoniv bridge, they stole metal from the repair plant of kherson, and they drove it to the antoniv bridge. and there they are rebuilding the pavement with the help of metal , and regionalizing it from above with a road

surface. they are actually repairing potholes there with road slabs . they remove the damaged ones and install new ones. they made a certain spare for a local enterprise and now, with the help of this, they are arranging a small amount of engineering equipment. by the way, our artillery is and working out precisely and these objects, the engineering equipment that they pulled closer to the bridges, eh, if we talk about the kakhovskyi resto dam , they place it in the vicinity of novaya kakhovka, closer to the hpp, if we speak in the antonivskyi way bridge, they hide it near the antonov bridge, but on the left side of the

dnieper bank, and you know how they say they learned to urgently repair the holes that our artillery inflicts, but still we keep it under constant fire control . despite this, the occupiers decided to use the antonov bridge as a kind of roof for our artillery and began to rebuild their know-how, that is, such a floating bridge, getting rid of which they charge to this day not with the entire part of the occupied and kherson oblast and zaporizhia along the dnieper, and well , that is, they are strengthening them among themselves, and they are attached to the supports of the bridge itself, they have not yet finished its construction, but it is already there in them, then

we will see from above, they are arranging the road surface , that is, they think that this construction will be to be used as a kind of floating bridge but i think that again our artillery, you know, will work on this target as well as the antonov road bridge antonov zaporizhzhia antonov railway bridge and, accordingly, the dam of the kakhovskaya hpp but we keep it under fire control this floating bridge, which is located right under the antonov road bridge, mr. serhiy summanov, from the boryslav district of the kherson region, appeared literally yesterday. there were a couple of farmers. boryslav district territorial community found dead

pavlenko women, a man and a woman were killed in the evening of august 23. valentina pavlenko was killed by a shot in the head and under his body lay his murdered wife larisa. this was reported by local activists of the pavlenko couple. i was engaged in small-scale farming. at least three times, the russian military attacked their home and offered both of them to leave for the territory controlled by ukraine, but they refused to leave their farms . under their house next to them, they really had a nice, well-arranged one, and they spent the night in it. they were saved from shelling, but not from the arrival of non-humans. what do you know about this history in general as an attitude towards the local population on the part of the occupying authorities, the occupying authorities continue to terrorize the local population and , unfortunately, there are such tragic cases throughout the region, e-e, regarding farmers, yesterday there was a report again that in the boryslav district of the new

kamianka there was the agrarian enterprise was looted, absolutely everything that was in the warehouses was taken away, including wheat and barley, it was also wheat that the farmers had collected, and they wanted to at least somehow provide for their families there, and the occupiers stole absolutely everything that were in their warehouses, kidnappings are also happening throughout the occupied part of the kherson region, and families who had a ukrainian position in nova kakhovka were also informed about the abduction. by the way, in nova kakhovka, one of the enterprises not owned by us was destroyed yesterday. all the equipment was stolen and the losses are calculated there for 8 million hryvnias, that is, the occupiers continue their policy of, you know, total robbery of thefts and enterprises and people, as well as

illegal abductions, torture and murders in the occupied kherson region, unfortunately now people in the occupied kherson region and in occupied kherson live in such realities. thank you mr. serhiy serhii khlan, deputy of the kherson regional council for contacting our studio. thank you for your participation . in the south about him and we'll talk about him. here he is on the phone. i'll tell you about the route. it's coming from the khmelnytskyi region. we'll end the hour with that. and for now, the operational situation in the south. mr. vasyl, we congratulate you. days as the night passed and this day began in the south of ukraine with shelling, the enemy shelled the

regional center of the city of mykolaiv and five populated areas in the region well, of course, there were shelling along the entire front line where our defenders are holding the defense, but in general some kind of drastic changes, e.e., the enemy did not break through the assault, that is, now the enemy simply continues the shelling and completes such terrorist tactics, both in populated areas, on civilian objects, and on the front line, that is, the situation is significant and the behavior has not changed, the character looks free, now there is nothing to say about the southern direction , the nature of the hostilities is now determined by the fact that the enemy has been actively shifting military equipment and units to the right bank of the dnieper, the kherson region, that is,

in fact, the city of kherson and to the north the occupied territories, these actions were obviously caused by a number of active offensive actions of our troops along the entire front line, as well as informational incitement that related to the possible conduct of well of the so-called contour offensive in the south , as a result of this operative withdrew significant reserves, also withdrew a significant number of troops from the eastern directions from the izyum and from the donbass from the luhansk direction and transferred them also to the south now after our troops took under fire control not only the warehouses ammunition for the fuel and lubricants of the enemy's rear, as well as the crossing of the dnipro river, now in fact such a certain

situation is being created, when all this considerable amount of whiskey already concentrated here on the right bank. they will now always be under the threat of possible such an operational encirclement from our troops if there really begins any more significant offensive actions from the other side. this also makes it possible to keep this group under such control. meaning that if our armed forces now start some more active actions, for example in the eastern direction, then the enemy will no longer be able to maneuver their forces so easily and take them away, well, in particular, from the right bank of the dnieper and transfer already to the east because such er crossings are controlled by the fire damage of our armed forces er means significant which in measure and the antonov bridge er and the road and railway are damaged canvas which well does not give the opportunity to freely transfer troops plus sportsmen so easily now

forced to carry out crossings only at night, being wary of the fact that our intelligence sees such movements and, of course , first of all, attacks will be made on enemy columns during attempts to cross a mass transit techniques of panas i just got involved again serhiy of the clans he said that they are building cities there and they are putting out barges this is how i understand one by one and they are trying in this way i don't know it is physically possible to use barges like this pontoon bridge in fact how do you feel about such will it be implemented? i mean that it will be possible to move military equipment to these places if necessary, well, first of all, this is a pretty good signal, which indicates that despite their there are optimistic statements that our damage to the bridge is still there, they can be easily

restored, this shows that in fact nothing, they are already preparing for the fact that sooner or later all bridges will completely cease to function, this is the first, the second is that of course even if they can some amount equipment to be transported well, they are currently transporting them, it is desirable, in fact, partly the equipment, but it is not at all the same as moving on a stationary one on a stationary structure, it is not the same speed, not the same safety well, of course, with the first well, upon arrival, this entire base structure will fly apart , that's why, in principle, i think that first of all, all these base crossings, one way or another, they still remain in the zone of influence of the fire of our armed forces, therefore, the intelligence has all the coordinates, all the data, let's try russians to set up such crossings. i think the only question here is that when they start to really somehow try to cross the technique en masse, then we will immediately know how strong the basic crossings will be russian

vasyl well, you as a representative of the special services tell me please. all summer, we, journalists, and some politicians. hot heads talked about the counteroffensive - south . compiled during this time, how do you personally now assess the probability of a counteroffensive and the probability of the liberation of kherson, in what perspective this can happen and for this, what forces, both technical and human, should be there in the southern direction focused, please. i believe that kherson, the liberation of kherson from a military point of view is the most promising direction for the armed forces now, because due to the specific geographical conditions, there is a significant water barrier that

actually cuts off the city and the northern part of the region from the rest of the occupied territories. just gives our armed forces the opportunity to group all the troops of the russian federation that are now in an operational encirclement well and actually crush them if an operation is carried out accordingly, why ah-ah at all for the russians well, in my personal opinion, after they could not advance further, they were stopped by our troops under nicholas, obviously from a military point of view, they should have gone back to the dnipro . this position is purely political, because for russians, for putin , he probably personally needs to show at least some achievements in this war, and this is actually the only regional center that was managed to be captured by the kupants, and here it is just a question of such political prestige.

to hold and perhaps this was the reason why the russians, in response to our active actions in the north of the kherson region, began to transfer equipment so massively, simply in an attempt to somehow gain the kherson region. although from a military point of view, i repeat with many uh, because we are commanders i communicated, everyone declares as one. well, for the russians, this is actually a suicidal step on the one hand, so sooner or later, in the near future, i hope that kherson, at least on the dnipro, will have to be released, because it is it is absolutely obvious that this is the easiest way for our armed forces to conquer the territory, it is another matter , what are the operatives of our higher command , are they? a trap in such a bag, the russian forces, pulling back, just as the offensive will begin, maybe not in this

direction, not in the south, and the south already later, anyway, these forces are cut off from their main rears and will be released later, here the question is, of course, before of our command, i am sure that the plan is strategic, it is uh well, it means that it includes all these nuances. here is kherson. i think that sooner or later we will celebrate the victory in kherson. thank you, a deputy of the kyiv council, a lieutenant colonel, ex -counterintelligence officers of the sbu, and now he is fighting in the south of ukraine we continued to talk about the south, economic news, andrii yanitskyi will tell us all about money during the war, and then we will return, events, the most important events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives, of course, the news feed reports on them, however
