such a multifactorial process, and what i want to draw attention to is that it is definitely impossible to reject the political component there, yes, what, what is it , there are already a lot of zmiyov for the rashists of the voroshists. it was already loud and clear. network and that. they wanted to carry out this theft, roughly speaking, of our nuclear power plant by switching to one of these lines in melitopol dzhankoy and let them switch to their own there to switch to decay and at the same time, it is such a working version and this plan, and we hope that they will continue to play it there, because it is, you know, more predictable and safer, in contrast to the fact that they are simultaneously conducting this one, taking into account what you mentioned that the mission should really work next week

what are they doing in parallel and in parallel they are playing out a different scenario when they start to give nightmares not only to the population of zaporizhzhia oblast but in general to the whole of ukraine and the world community this is when we remember last week what they did provocations, we already bear the shelling process itself. and we know that there in their heads they are completely sick from those. well, there is little there because even when our security officers were working there yesterday at around 8:00 in the evening. the fires were being restored, the fires were being extinguished, the connection to the power grid was restored, they were still subjecting them to mortar shelling. and last week, these shellings are constantly continuing. this bay has been worked out, so that the

radiation background will rise, dmytro i'm taking a step, now they have brought 10 chemical laboratories to melitopol , and this is to say that they will create a picture that they want to ensure that there is a radiation hazard at the station, but we are not delaying that the main the motive for them should be this theft of this station, the most powerful in europe, and let's not forget that this main main main collaborator above all collaborators in the temporarily occupied territory of ukraine is this kyriyenko, their deputy there of this butler, he has been the head of this butler since 2003, yes, he was the head of rosatom for many years, so they clearly know what they are doing. dmitriev, thank you very much. unfortunately, our time has passed . we will keep in touch. we will communicate . gives strength, wisdom and endurance to our heroes in

energodar at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant , these people who today are truly the essence of ukraine, europe , dmytro kyrylchuk, deputy of the zaporizhzhia district council , a volunteer with us, very important information it sounds to us, uh, now we're moving on again . let's go west to mykolaiv oblast. i'll first read the information about how this region is suffering from enemy shelling, and then we'll add a guest. there were explosions again in mykolaiv, in general, the region came under enemy fire in the past day halychynivsk community, an economic building was on fire in shrykivsk, two farms were damaged , buildings in berezneguvatsk community were destroyed by the russians using multiple rocket launchers, a hurricane hit agricultural areas in all fortunately there were no casualties in the cases. also this morning rescuers fought against the elements in the andriiiv forest in the mykolaiv district. they extinguished a large-scale forest fire for almost 19 hours. the cause of it was arson. the deputy head of the kryvyi rih youth council on the mykolaiv regional

military administration, mr. kyrylo. greetings. good evening. let's start with the consequences of the the city and the region were shelled, it is possible that there is fresh, detailed information about the main thing, of course, about the victims, if not, then slava please god, for luck, independence day like today passed very quietly in mykolaiv . there were no casualties in the place itself. in principle, it is possible to say that even the intensity of shelling has decreased tenfold, although this is literally before joining your broadcast in the city. there were explosions, but fortunately the weather does not favor the shelling of the city, now it is raining in the city and a very bad weather is coming. and yesterday , the haze that lasted for 3-4 days finally cleared in the city, which caused panic among the population regarding the diet-

radiation hazard, the entire region was fortunately underground and the radiation dissipated, so it can be said that everything is fine in mykolaiv for now. vitaliy kim, the head of the mykolaiv regional military administration, made a statement today. he said that the mykolaiv ports are ready for work, but there are security issues. scope of work. what volume of cargo can they? well, of course, it is possible not to name exact figures, but to what extent they can participate in the shipment of ukrainian grain for its further export and why the question of the security of the guests is yes, who can resolve this issue, please, for myself, i can only say that mykolayivsk borta was repeatedly attacked, uh, large hangars with grain were damaged, several hangars

were damaged. - it will take a very long time, because now the main task is to take out all the grain that has accumulated in the ports until january to the odesa region and overload its machines trucks drive without dust, grain is being shipped , but there is still a lot ahead because the throughput capacity of our roads and our road transport is not as large as we would like, taking into account that grain has been imported for five months in a row 24/7 and now we need it somehow from here withdraw because at the moment without the release of kherson i very much doubt that there will be such an opportunity to unblock mykolaiv ports because there are a lot of terminals in mykolaiv and also in mykolaiv there is a very important infrastructure facility, the port of olvia, so i think

that the russian side will not agree to unblock this port and, of course, all ports upstream of the river, in principle there is also a port in ochakov, but as it is known from the media that the portion of ochakov is maneuvering, the ukrainian fleet is therefore very unlikely to block sports above ochakov , samochak and mykolaiv probably, despite the optimism and this is a very difficult negotiation process, thank you very much krylo-ravin deputy chairman of the youth council about mykolaiv's own military administration clearly laid out everything for us, especially with regard to ports, it is important the information is really ready, however, ours is ready when they will be able to work and strengthen the ukrainian export capacity, so to speak, mainly with regard to agricultural products, and maybe not only agricultural products, because we have problems with the shipment of rolled metal and many other

of our e-e products, it's time to talk about the combat operations and the situation on the fronts in more detail, so to speak, serhiy zgurets, director of the defense express agency, host of the column, military summaries of the day, mr. serhiy, please welcome vasiliy vitaly viewers of the espresso channel today military results of the day about the effectiveness of our himer strikes we ourselves about strengthening our air defense with new types of weapons and why putin wants to increase his army to two million about this in a moment i will start with good or rather striking news of the day on august 26, explosions rang out near the occupied kherson, the russians, of course, said that the air defense was working, but the reality was different, it was the strikes that the armed forces carried out on antonivsk

of the bridge, now the video of the explosions on the bridge over the dnipro can be viewed from different angles, and on the footage , explosions with dima clubs can be seen and heard on the part of the bridge where the blows were aimed, and earlier the spokesman of the southern command claimed that the city was taken under continuous fire control, and this led to the fact that the occupying forces the troops do not dare not to use or repair this bridge, also today the russians' positions in chernobaivka and engineering were struck, and earlier, just on independence day, an impression was once again made on the sluice bridge of the kakhovsky yegis. as a result, the placement of the crossing is impossible, so the armed forces of ukraine systematically disable the bridges across the dnipro in order to make it impossible to fully supply the enemy group on the right bank . according to various estimates, there are from 12 to 15 russian

soldiers in order to find options for some kind of logistical survival of the enemy now is trying to complete the construction of a barge bridge in the vicinity of the antonov road bridge, a section of about 50% of the total length was built there, and i do not include what today's strikes on the bridge could well have shortened the length of this crossing and there is also preliminary information that the enemy has completed the deployment of a pontoon crossing across the dnipro in the area of ​​the settlement of lviv in the kherson region, this is somewhere between the antoniv bridge and the bridge near novaya kakhovka and is preparing to use this crossing for its own needs, it seems it's time to remind the enemy what our long-range vehicles can actually do, as it happened in the occupied kadiivka in luhansk region, the head of luhansk ova, serhii haydai today reported that the armed forces of ukraine destroyed

about 200 russian paratroopers by striking the base of the occupiers in the donbas hotel, the decupants were based in the 14th year, the russians claim that on august 26, the armed forces fired 10 heimers rockets at kadiivka, we are right, it may not be true, but the main thing is the result and we will wait for the continuation of these good stories in view of the fact that we receive new weapons from western partners and mainly from the united states. by the way, on independence day, we received the largest package of american military aid in the amount of 3 billion dollars, together with the announced deliveries from other e-e partners, in these packages, i will first of all single out systems and samples for air defense, which we desperately need to protect our cities and military facilities from enemy threats. and this is the entire spectrum from

ballistic cruise missiles to enemy drones. so, the first thing we have on the approach is modern anti-aircraft missile systems for sams. previously , it was announced that two batteries would be supplied, and in the new package from the entire states, it was announced that six more batteries would be supplied, that is, eight batteries in total each battery, in addition to the command post and various target detection systems, has at least four launchers on each launcher, as we can see six missiles each, they can destroy targets at a range of up to 40 km and at an altitude of up to 20 km. this is a really good modern system. for example, one battery per sams in the united states. if i am not mistaken , the white house is covering up a city like kyiv. to cover a city like kyiv , several dozen batteries are needed, so we hope that the first batteries will arrive in ukraine by the end of the year and there will be dynamics with further deliveries, as well as an increase in the number of air defense systems on

the very world of states germany announced an increase in the number of arist complexes for ukraine, this is one of the modern and effective samples of air defense systems used in germany and in some other countries, in particular, egypt ordered such complexes, and earlier there was talk of two complexes for ukraine, but berlin announced this just a few days ago the reator agency informed that it can additionally transfer three more ariste systems to ukraine to the ministry of foreign affairs of germany, by the way, it recently spoke about the fact that the first ariste complex will be transferred to ukraine as she said i hope at the end of summer or at the beginning of september, and it means that the first customer, egypt, was convinced that the complex that was manufactured for egypt will now be handed over

to ukraine, and the rest of the radars will have to be manufactured even if all four are completed in 2023 year, i think it will be really very good, the indicators in the pct are approximately similar to the sams complex, i.e., the range is up to 40 km, the height is up to 20 km. the supply of air defense systems was joined by spain, which is ready to hand over to us one battery of a complex called aspid. it is actually quite an old complex, but it is also quite effective in view of its capabilities. it is used to intercept targets at a range of up to 20 km. it is mainly used for cover of stationary objects, in particular airfields, we

are given one battery in spain itself of 17 such batteries, perhaps later the number of systems that will be transferred to ukraine will be increased, and finally the highlight of the supply is the actual system that came from the solid states, more precisely, it will not arrive, it was announced in a package in the new american aid called vampire, in fact, this system is presented as a system for combating anti- aircraft and unmanned systems of the enemy, but in fact it is a mobile multifunctional means of fire support of the front edge, because this system it is possible to destroy drones and air targets and actually even mobile apc objects moving on the battlefield due to the fact that the e-e system uses a 70 mm guided missile at a range of up to 4 km this means that, in general, today we have a significant

range of new types of weapons that strengthen our anti-aircraft defense, but the question is, of course, in terms of vovk supplies and volume. for now, we would like to have more such systems and they would arrive faster against the background of these deliveries. by the way, the deputy minister of defense of the ussr said that these packages of military aid confirm the continuous assistance from the united states and that the united states will support ukraine for as long as it is necessary and that in fact, it should destroy the hopes of the main russian aggressor, putin, that after a certain time europe and the united states will tire of providing aid and support to ukraine, to what extent is this true, how likely are such scenarios, what is

the aggressor going to do on this topic, we will talk with our guest - this is leonid polyakov ex- deputy minister of defense of ukraine and now adviser to the director of the national institute of strategic studies, mr. leonid, i congratulate you. good evening, mr. serhiy. good evening. express first question. how are you now ? evaluate the general situation on the front line, especially against the background of the statement of this fake general shoigu, who says that the special operation is going according to plan, and the slowdown is due to the fact that they apparently do not want to cause damage to the civilian population, if you evaluated otaki's statements of racists, which statements in the first place first of all, they indicate that the kremlin regime needs to somehow calm down the internal audience of those cheering patriots and indifferents who support its policy. and this

support may be primarily when there are some reports about offensive successes when there are practically no such successes. this leads to disappointment and the emergence of unnecessary questions for the kremlin, so to speak, so that these questions are not asked for as long as possible , and such myths are created about gestures of goodwill , about some kind of giving the troops the opportunity to rest or this is what you were talking about, that is, they cannot find the strength now, i emphasize for the time being for some more active actions, as we saw 1.5-2 months ago under er. region

was preparing, so far it has not reached us on the front line and where it is moving is not quite clear . when it will arrive, and without it, it is allegedly impossible to see. well, there are no real reserves, because definitely those former syrians or kadyrovs or recently north koreans should not be seriously considered as an element of reinforcement. and how would you explain putin's decision and what is the probability of implementing this putin's decree on increasing the number of the russian army to two million, but the actual increase of this military component in this number by 137,000, what are the chances of implementing this indicate why exactly 137,000 about the chances so far it is not entirely clear how to evaluate because there is theory and there is

practice in theory maybe somewhere they can find beings and 200 thousand someone to write down because the number they have the same in principle, as with us, it takes into account not only military, but also civilians , well, a simple example, for example, when they formed the national guard, and a lot of contract servicemen from the armed forces went there, now they will take, for example, two or three divisions , before subordinating the armed forces. somewhere else conscripts are no longer being accepted, they are coming up with some other east, well, maybe if not 137,000, well, i will formally recruit some number. another question is that they still need to be trained to arm and the decree will generally come into force on january 1, 2023 again, in the first place, it is for internal

use. well, in the second place, it is to circumvent the problem of the declaration of war against ukraine and, accordingly, the general mobilization, which they continue to fear for a number of reasons. and how do you assess the further development of the situation in general at the front the format of hostilities, because the minister of defense varshkikov in an interview stated that ukraine is on the threshold of a new stage of the war, including a counteroffensive company, and the secretary of the national security and defense council oleksiy danilov says that no rubicon has yet been crossed and we should not wait that this is over instantly and on the contrary we will have another big war with the russian federation , i.e. how to combine these theses in the understanding of an ordinary practical viewer and reader, well,

let's try to divide this topic into several the key factors are really now, the offensive actions of the russians are actually exhausted. even the fact that they do not count with losses in donbas, it does not give them any significant gains. is happening from their point of view from their point of view or they somehow involve ukraine in the negotiations on the ceasefire negotiate or blackmail or something else if they don't succeed we hope that they don't succeed then they will er pull time, hoping that they will have time to receive reinforcements of reserves before we receive a

sufficient amount of western weapons, and will continue the offensive primarily in the area of ​​bakhmut-kramatorsk and er-e sloviansk, at the same time, both they and we will continue urban losses through tactical actions, emphasizes this to them it is not interesting, but for us it is more important , including that they will bear losses and theirs and ours at the expense of long-range high-precision means we will continue to destroy their warehouses e-e control points and other important objects they they will somehow disperse them and distract them. well, this game of cat and mouse will continue, but at the same time, they will strike in our rear , and well, we periodically hear

and see all these tragedies as if it were the day before yesterday. and we will also bear losses for so long, obviously not with from our point of view, or from the point of view of the russians, it will not continue. since the situation is unfavorable for the russians, they cannot capture the entire donetsk region. and this is, after the desire to start negotiations, this is their second main goal, and for us, we must eventually start to liberate the territory since we are suffering great losses in the rear and on the front, and here we must already start counting what uh and how much we lose if we pass on some areas of the offensive or if we do not pass and continue so uh this stalemate situation no we runes of war so to speak, neither attack nor defense. well, so this situation can and will continue for some time and it will be resolved

depending on whether the russians will raise their reserves or our leadership will decide that there are enough firepower and prepared reserves for that to proceed to more decisive actions, since delaying with more decisive actions also threatens with certain negative consequences if we get ahead of them, we will liberate our territories and the russians will obviously also be forced to introduce some unprepared reserves into battle and for us it will be some advantage if they will correct us by increasing our reserves. so we will again pay more attention to defense . we will create some surprises like there were in the crimea or melitopol or in novaya kakhovka. but does this decide those the tasks before us, this question

remains open, that is why the situation is ambiguous, the situation is really difficult. i agree with mr. danilov that some radical break has probably not yet occurred, at least. maybe someone knows about it, but i do not observe this information in public access. if you can say, there is nothing here that we saw in march-april, when there were maneuvering actions with fire and troops , and these actions somehow made it more or less easier to determine the perspective now that both sides have frozen and the main events are taking place somewhere on the front line and not only on the front line but also in the rear and in the political spectrum and among our partners and

so on and so on, of course it is much more difficult to predict, but here is the situation one minute to answer the question that was asked according to many experts, who will suffer more from the winter campaign of russia, the ukrainian army, if we drag it out into the winter, and it will all turn out the same, of course, the russian army will suffer more, because due to the fact that we on our territory and we have more powerful lead support from our own volunteer resources and with the help of partners, and they are located on foreign territory where ground partisans are actively operating, that is, where the population is mainly hostile and where the supply routes of all resources starting from fuel and ending uniforms and so on, they are under our fire, plus when there are no more leaves and everything will be

open and they will need to warm themselves, then our drones and other means of destruction will much more easily hit their dugouts and combat equipment, so i think that that they are trying to drag out the time until winter, well, they will not deserve a good service, thank you for these interesting explanations, and i would like to remind our viewers that leonid polyakov, adviser to the director of the national institute of strategic studies, was on the air of espresso channels. these are the main emphasis in the military results of this day and more political and economic news later in our issues who remains on the espresso channel thank you very much to serhiy zgurtsov serhiy zguretsov , he is the director of the defense express agency and the presenter of the military summary of the day a-a told about the situation on the fronts well, by the way, regarding the actions of the armed

forces of ukraine, footage has now appeared, well, a little later , we will show them to you, here are the consequences of the attack on nova kakhovka, there on the bridge there were er in the face of the forces and equipment and manpower of the enemy after the order by the armed forces of ukraine a blow to the gathering of troops there is only spawning equipment, some of its parts are broken. well, of course, the bodies of the occupiers who came from behind wanted to take our land, as they say , and our water, well, the land is also guaranteed to them, i don’t know what the truth is, whether they will be buried here or sent home here we are now seeing this video, these are the results of the impact of ukrainian missile systems on the bridge in novaya kakhovka. well, here are the results for the enemy. what happened at this time on the bridge itself? in order to use it for its intended purpose, and whether there

are repair works that are taking place that were not there, but this is another reminder to the enemy that you should not expect that we will leave you alone, you should not expect that you can under to make a barge crossing on the antonov bridge is not easy. of course, they actually hid this seasoning under the bridge, so when the blow goes on the bridge, of course , it doesn't seem to reach this seasoning. in principle, the ukrainian armed forces have such capabilities thanks to the high-precision equipment that our partners give us , so i think that these barges will eventually catch fire, just like the pontoons that the enemies are trying to bring through dnipro, right in the area of ​​the kakhovsky bridge, and now a lot of important and interesting information for the world has been collected by yuriy fizer for us the world about ukraine yuriy good evening please good evening to you vasyl almost exactly 20:00, it means that it is time for news from abroad greetings you
