now they are crying, of course we hug them, i want to cry with them, but let's hold on, hold on and continue our mission today throughout the country, the fate of every ukrainian is such that we finally choose our freedom for free democratic freedom in these cities of kupyansk, er, liberated from possession of stars is the first, yes, you can already come in. do you have special passes? look, we are traveling with the military. therefore, it is better not to go there for the time being. i will say frankly that if journalists there plan to go there, they usually receive special correspondence and there are certain routes these routes must be safe controlled by our military police life is returning little by little the local government is starting to

do everything to start up its electricity water supply gas supply there are already on the ground they are starting to work very actively in the mobile operators we i have already seen near the towers they are working there and on the highway, and everything is moving very quickly. i think that within a month , we will adjust everything there as much as possible. and for all these cities, have you been everywhere? i don't know where the most destruction because they saw where the most critical situation with the building is everywhere we looked, broken buildings, constructions , road infrastructure is very difficult there, probably 80% of the whole

raisin , it is simply destroyed, it is necessary. amount educational amount to say unfortunately very dramatic people are kidnapped eh they don't know where their family members are eh in occupy homes eh mine them then eh they make the neighbors say oh you bandage teach him to bandage er provide first medical aid if someone tears something off with a hint that the street there is specially mined , people are just being bullied for the motherland er they give so-called they gave so-called humanitarian aid er a loaf of bread for a week on when they saw our boxes, they said to the family that they had never seen anything like this from the occupiers. although, well, we see it on the russian media and

they say that they are just helping there with trucks and everyone is happy because of that, no one is happy, people are hungry , tired and not people. pets there are cats and dogs running. well, they are just so thin that it is terrible to look at this whole story, that is why the situation is difficult in uh, but thank god, uh, we already feel the smell of victory, and we thank our uaf, our military, to all those who are making maximum efforts in order to to liberate our occupied territories and renew the infrastructure to improve life for all ukrainians, you all mentioned demining, how relevant is this story, because if you recall the experience of kyiv oblast there, irpin bucha in gostomel vorzel, it was huge the problem is that everything was mined, even the cups were mined in the

apartments of the released ones. yes, where russian servicemen lived, toys were mined, and the bodies lying on the streets were mined. the russians of ukraine left the bodies of ukrainians. they were also mined . i understand that in kharkiv oblast this is the story is not so relevant now, that is, it is not so widespread, but your perceptions, please, well, look , the story is really massive, and from your mass media, you systematically convey that tractors are exploding, tractor drivers are exploding in the fields and so on, just now it is not all known yes well, we only recently bought our territories, people will now tell, they will go to the houses of the neighbors of the breeders, they will look for each other, and of course, i think that the tragedy will be enough for that but it will work for me. we saw a group of policemen in balaklia. they

drive around the city, e-e, carry out demining. we stopped by one enterprise there, and the owners said that these orcs would be there . they had a base there in balaklia. so they said that they will also call policemen, most likely the territory there is mined well, but i just remember, i remember how it was in irpen in my hometown , when people came, they went to their yards or their apartments with representatives or, well, with experts from explosive substances and if something was discovered there, then they already called the ministry of emergency situations and the representatives of the state emergency service, well , they directly engaged in demining in various ways. how do people return, well, do they not return or do people return at all ? in the territories, look now, people don’t return there and there is no

need to return then for sure. currently, the cleaning continues, filtering actions with our military, the police are looking for drg, because the cities are really big , and we still need to work on that when people will return, i think that the same mechanism will work there, i will tell you more. people there thought that kharkiv was not ukrainian for a long time, because they ask how they leave or do not leave kharkiv, how they released him or not . there is no connection we were there well, there is simply no connection, people lived in an information blockade there, well, for almost 5 months, they were told everything, that's why you miss it here, we went during the day, we temporarily missed a day. yes, it's half a day there, and there's already so much news of uh, variety, and

people lived for six months, they still need to mentally return to ukraine now, before the event, and so on and so forth, because there are approximate numbers of how many local people are left there who survived the occupation, now there are uh, in izyum, somewhere up to 10,000 and many children i will say yes, we are going literally we stop impromptu, then we drive into the private sector, we stop, one person gets out and that's it, we just don't go anywhere else, they come out from different streets, from different houses, people come up and we give out 100 sets in 40 minutes at the location where we stopped, the same in balaklia uh, we were driving, we drove into the private sector, we see two or two people walking, we stop, we say we need help , they say of course, and it’s like word of mouth, people start to match and we were amazed because many people are left. now they need food

food, hygiene products, medicines, definitely, i think that even old links are needed, some kind of public ones should be put in order to have some kind of communication, at least temporarily renew the old houses, we need generators , we need everything, we need warm things, we need absolutely everything for today, er, the next month, there is a lot everything can be conducted if the volunteers are ready to go there, then people will need everything there. thank you for voicing this important information on our air and for what you are doing , oleksiy kurtsev, volunteer and head of the charity organization of the ukrainian charity alliance, which is now bringing humanitarian aid to the liberation of populated areas in the liberated territory of the kharkiv region, and anastasia bugera is joined by a resettled woman from izyum, who was also freed with the

armed forces of ukraine, mrs. anastasia. congratulations , we just talked about your izyum with volunteers who are now going there to meet people after the release and how long were you in the occupation and how did it start for you and how did you leave anastasia can you hear us good afternoon we can see but so far we can't hear there are problems let's get back to anastasia bogera, she lived in izyum, er, in the occupation for exactly five months, er, met the war in this very city, she was born there, she was born there, she was staying with her parents, her fiance, nastya , the defender of mariupol, his name is kosti, and he was captured, this is was confirmed by the red cross, but nastya does not know any more information about her fiance from him since april 24. the only thing that his relatives knew was that he was in

captivity in the deer pen. there was a raisin he is on the defense of mariupol now. and izyum has already been released. and where is her beloved girlfriend? well, until then, general information in the russian parliament convinces that their army does not need to be mobilized. this is for him, the head of the commission of the federation andriy klimov for the protection of state sovereignty , he said the following are signs of such did not observe the need for mobilization, as well as the introduction of martial law, the climate is overwhelmed that the most questions about possible mobilization in russia are asked by foreign journalists because they received he said, at the same time, he urged not to make hasty conclusions. i will remind you that at the end of august, the representative of ukrainian intelligence, vadym skibytskikh, said that russia is increasing mobilization reserves and plans to mobilize about 90,000 additional servicemen. and according to

the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, the russian military command is suspending the dispatch of new already formed units for the war in ukraine according to the general staff, the current situation in the theater of operations and distrust of the higher command forced a large number of volunteers to categorically refuse the prospect of service in combat conditions, they do not want more children for the war in ukraine , and on the border of armenia and azerbaijan, there are new, new escalation, new hostilities, and there are already victims . azerbaijan stated that the responsibility for the worsening of the situation on the border lies with the military - the political leadership of armenia was informed about this by the ministry of defense of azerbaijan, the only aggressor state, the occupier of the region, and the republic of armenia, with the presence of personnel and equipment of the armed forces of armenia in the karabakh economic zone of azerbaijan continues in response to the large-scale provocation of armenia

. large-scale provocations that she used today and the main reasons for the escalation of the conflict it is known that armenia has decided to turn to russia and the european union due to the situation with azerbaijan , prime minister nikol pashinyan called a meeting of the security council at night today regarding the escalation of the security council of armenia and the attacks , ptashinyan's website reports in the message, specifying that in addition to the members of the security council, the president took part in the meeting of the republic of legen-khachatryan and the president of the national assembly of the republic well, at the meeting they discussed further steps, the adopted decision on an official appeal to the russian federation and organizationally asked for help and

also to the un security council in order to implement the provisions of the treaty on friendship, cooperation, mutual assistance in the case of aggression against armenia. we will talk about this on our broadcast a little later in more detail for now. how is yours? well, i don't know, maybe let's try to dial by phone, although well, let's, yes, for now, information from donetsk region . donetsk region is liberating our land from the occupier step by step, meter by meter , the fighters of the national guard units of the armed forces and the defense forces have entered the entire city in the donetsk region . vitaliy markiv yes he

wrote the following under these photos and videos step by step honey by the meter we are liberating our land from the occupier victory will definitely be ours the message goes vitaliy markiv well, let me remind you that this that hm is a soldier of the national guard who was imprisoned in italy for a long time on charges , there was even a court verdict there, but then the appeal was in favor of vitaly markiv on the charge that in the 14th year he supposedly adjusted the artillery and that it fired at as a result of which two italian journalists were killed near sloviansk vitaliy was already fighting as part of the national guard of ukraine, however, the decision of the appeals court was in vitaliy's favor. he was released in the meantime the ministry of defense of the united states of america believes that russia has largely surrendered its positions to the ukrainian forces in okupat in the vicinity of kharkiv in

the northeast, many russian troops are leaving across the state border, well, that is, directly to russia, the pentagon reports it, in general, according to our estimates, the ukrainians are succeeding in the struggle for liberation and return in the territory in the south and east near kharkiv, according to our data , russian forces have largely ceded their territories to the ukrainians, that is, more precisely, yours territorial gains that they temporarily captured and retreated to the south or east. many of them have already crossed the border with russia. they said in the pentagon that we in the kharkiv region were defeated by an elite formation designed to protect the city of moscow. this is reported by the british ministry of defense . protection in the event of a conflict with nato, part of the russian troops withdrawn from the kharkiv region last week. this is the first guards tank army that belongs to the western military district, this army suffered heavy losses at the beginning, at the

initial stage of the invasion, until the moment of the ukrainian counteroffensive, it was not fully restored, this is stated in the report of the ministry of defense of great britain in twitter, it was made public first . maintaining a strike contour in the event of a war with nato , the british ministry of defense noted in a statement that the british military believes that russia will need years to to restore the potential of this army and other formations of the western military district intended for countermeasures, and i wonder what serhiy zgurets will say about this, he is a military expert who is already joining us on the defend -express, as we do every morning. perhaps a propagandist shock unit, it received significant losses in the first company period, and after the hostilities in the kharkiv region around the raisin, this

unit actually significantly reduced its potential including behind this 11th corps, which, together with the first tank army, fought to defend the area of ​​the kharkiv region and around the raisin, now these groups have fled to the territory of the russian federation. they really have no organized potential. part of the whiskey of the western military district was transferred under the command of general lapin, who is responsible for the central direction of action in the donetsk region, but this does not in any way increase the effectiveness of the use of these events by those broken russian units they showed that the russian army is not capable of conducting offensive actions. when offensive actions are taken, it is only artillery, aviation, and in tactics, we are talking about defensive actions. well, the big surprise is that in the same kharkiv region, there were

no second and third lines of defense. there was no defense at all well, i am absolutely surprised, as are the majority of experts who are now trying to master these conclusions after the rapid advance of ukrainian troops in the kharkiv region and further to the line of the river about mr. serhiy, what do you think about this video that we showed the day before yesterday, when the advanced unit enters the ukrainian military and there are just 10 tanks thrown there, for example, not 10, but there were definitely eight of them, and when the military says oh now this will be my tank, oh, and you have a tank, oh, and you won’t have one. according to the tank , it looks like a t-80 was standing there, if i’m not mistaken . how could such a positive thing happen? not destroyed

defeated, they simply went on as a trophy to the armed forces of ukraine. well, i think that this is, on the one hand, the effectiveness of our offensive, what is it from the point of view of ignoring even the primitive requirements of conducting combat operations, that is, in fact, in any case, the first, second, third line of defense should have been, i repeat, tanks tanks must be protected, they must be capable of conducting combat operations, but now actually all this theoretical knowledge, and even at the primitive level of understanding the situation, they are being destroyed in the behavior of the russian army, and of course the abandonment this significant number of weapons, and it is already measured in hundreds, we are talking about tanks and armored personnel carriers and bmps, but now there is a video of the abandonment of self-propelled guns in this area, that is, it actually indicates the inability of

the russian leadership to plan defensive actions for retreat and in fact, this is precisely with the sign that this is actually panic and retreat from the occupied positions, that is, there was no reformatting. because we do not see any planned actions regarding the abandonment of these or other borders, we see the abandonment of equipment, etc. in the fact that they are russian units on the territory of the russian federation . what do you think of this advance there? in some areas, up to 100 km, the liberation of a huge territory. the president said yesterday that six thousand square kilometers is a huge territory. in the further arrangement of new positions by the ukrainian armed forces in order not to receive a counteroffensive in response, how long, please

, how long will it take to arrange new positions, how difficult is it, how important is the task now, please? well, now there are two opinions that you should better now continue to advance on the shoulders of the enemy towards the luhansk region, and use this defense breakthrough further for the lash in order to occupy the defense - the defense is as close as possible to the luhansk region. but uh, we will talk about the fact that during the week of hostilities, our troops will need recovery and logistical support and other measures that require a certain pause. we cannot constantly to advance for this, we need further support, and now i think that, on the one hand, we have reached partly higher on ruby, the line of defense, and

if we move further, we need to accumulate further forces and really as you are right, it is necessary to provide filtering measures related to the control of those cities where the enemy was located. it will take some time. as for the creation of a line of defense, i think that along the state border it will be a priority task to strengthen our defense weather measures will take place and here will be tightened there the national guard, which provides control over the liberated cities, and in the future we need to gather strength to continue the collective offensive operations in the luhansk region, and on the other hand, we must not forget about the south now if our front line has leveled off in the

kharkiv region it has become more predictable , so there is now an emphasis on the south , because that area remains no less for us, or even more strategically important, always economic factors that are related to prospects the liberation of the kherson region and the recapture of access to the seas, sergey, if we return to the captured russian equipment, how much can we talk about armored equipment, artillery systems, plus minus, all the resources are foreign there, and even the russian replacements are not the ones that they are trying to calculate the quantitative indicators of. yesterday there on in the morning what is it conventionally speaking there are about more than 150 tanks pmpbr but i think that these indicators are underestimated i think that we will talk there about several three if not less than three hundreds of bmptr tanks and about several hundred

different artillery systems, a significant amount of automotive equipment, that is, this abandoned arsenal is really well, i think that it is the largest since the beginning of the active phase of hostilities, and it will really help our armed forces on the one hand, when foreign tanks are once again delayed there by a significant blow for the russian army, because it will really be extremely difficult for the russian army to restore these losses , given the low rate of creation of new models and the repair of those models that suffer losses from our strikes p. sergius, ukraine continues to ask the united states of america for long-range missiles with a range of 300 km to continue the contrast, what are the prospects and in terms of time. the main thing is when we can or will we be able to get them now, really, this is exactly the information that is going to be on the

recent request of ukraine to the united states states to expand the list of weapons that we can get . it is true and a long-range fire system up to 300 km is mentioned again . to the heimers, this is what was submitted in the application from the ukrainian side, now i think it is a good enough moment because the west and the united states have understood at the expense of the ukrainian army that the russian army can be defeated by planning clear actions, it is possible to organize a certain amount of weapons and increase the potential uh, the most uh, rational way to end the war. i hope that we can really expect to receive long-range systems,

uh , and in the future. zaluzheny and zaporozhsky write to you in their articles , you know that we need to ensure the crossing of capabilities when the enemy has missiles with a range of up to 200 to 2000 km, then i think that we just need to raise the bar of our aspirations and talk about what we are getting from the united states -e cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,000 km and such we really ensure parity of capabilities and this will even more reduce the pace and time of hostilities and then against the background of such high demands and the americans will have to give at least missiles with with a range of 300 km to respond to putin so what can be in response to the counteroffensive of ukraine, now everyone has really analyzed this question and come

to the point that in fact now there are no reserves to carry out a counteroffensive or the russian army because the same well-known third army corps which for four months they formed one corps numbering 12,000 soldiers and now these parts of this corps were thrown into the territory of ukraine were smeared and now against the background of the retreat from the kharkiv region we see that even the russians do not have the opportunity to form this line of defense along the oskil river, remember when we were approaching from e.e. severodonetsk and lysychansk, the siver line from solidar bakhmut was prepared in advance and now they are working, breaking down their capabilities, russia, russia cannot even form a line of defense because there is a lack of strength to transfer the units there from the donetsk direction or to transfer them from some other direction, they have no opportunities. i

think that now this is a pause that is connected even with the transfer of the forces of these volunteer battalions now it is going on in the russian army, you don’t know where to throw these units that actually don’t exist in a missile-free state. and now i think that the russian military leadership is not reformatting, what to do next, i think there are no answers yet, because there are no opportunities to talk about general mobilization preparing these units is a separate topic, but the general mobilization of russia no longer saves, and then there are questions about chemical weapons and nuclear weapons there. but i think that we are already on the same understanding hostilities that even the use of such means by the russian federation will not change the outcome of these hostilities or more and more rally the world community to carry out preventive strikes against the russian federation in the event of the use of chemical weapons there, now i think that the russian military leadership will

a certain stupor, let's see what primitive actions will be taken - these are blows to our energy system, we saw it there the day before yesterday, so i think that we are carefully watching with the russian federation, but opportunities for active counterattacks of the enemy now , thank you very much, mr. serhiy, for the professional analysis of the military situation - serhiy zgurets, our traditional military expert defect express represents the organization, thank you very much for including further directly on the course, a minute of silence for all the dead ukrainians in six months, 202 days of russian full-scale coming later, news stay with espresso moment of silence right now we will honor the memory of ukrainian

soldiers and civilians of ukraine who died with a moment of silence in the war that was unleashed by russia
