[000:00:00;00] civilians who died as a result of the russian-ukrainian war , let them feel the light with god, let's observe a minute of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war

, what was unleashed by russia , which settlements were managed to be returned to the armed forces of ukraine and how is progress the counteroffensive about the failure of the russians not only at the front, but what unexpected statements were made this week about this and much more today in the issue of the difficult and bloody counteroffensive of the ukrainian army puts our allies are faced with the dilemma of continuing military support for kyiv until the liberation of a large part of the territory or pushing for negotiations. oh, i see. yes, they are radicals , and their leader’s business cards

scared the whole of russia. it's not a political action in the mild frost, because it's hopelessness , yoga, half a thousand houses in kharkiv are not subject to restoration at all, how do people who lost their property live, the war enters the house of the aggressor where was fire in russia this week, congratulations, i am iryna koval and this is the news. summary of the week on the espresso tv channel. we begin our issue with the situation at the front. the defense forces of ukraine continue to conduct offensive operations in the direction of bakhmut. the enemy suffers heavy losses and uses reserves to strengthen control over this territory in the south. front , the main combat operations are taking place , our defenders are continuing their offensive in the berdyansk and

melitopol directions, successful battles are taking place along the line of the robot to this area, our military has already transferred new brigades and are intensifying the offensive, the occupiers have made unsuccessful attempts to bring back under control the fertile donetsk region, the release of which was announced on august 16, the enemy is also trying to regain positions on the svatov kryminat line and near kupyansk, the enemy has transferred a significant number of forces there and is trying to distract our reserves. ukrainian troops are successfully restraining the enemy thanks to it is more difficult for a sufficient amount of artillery to remain on the front near stary mlynovka, the south itself, which worries us the most because it is the direction from which should depend on the success of counteroffensive actions . although i think that this is tied to the fact that the counteroffensive is equal to let's say one company, this is a certain exaggeration, we must understand that there can be several such companies to achieve

success, so in the south, we know the enemies in time when we were accumulating forces, and also made substantial fortification equipment of all lines of defense, mined this section of the fund, which significantly complicates our current advance , while our soldiers fight and die for every meter of native land in the world, they continue to discuss under what conditions we will be accepted donato this week society was stirred up by the statement of the head of staff of the nato secretary general wall jensen during a public discussion in the norwegian city of arendal, jensen said that ukraine can be accepted into nato after it renounces part of its territories . the spokesman immediately reacted to this statement oleg nikolenko, mfa of ukraine, noting that similar statements of western partners only play into the hands

of the russian federation and that the alliance and ukraine do not trade territories, war or negotiations are difficult and the bloody counteroffensive of the ukrainian army puts ukraine's allies in a dilemma: to continue military support for kyiv until the liberation of a large part of the territory or to push kyiv to negotiate, a real scandal broke out this week around the statement of the chief of staff of the nato secretary general, zsian jensen , who prayed that ukraine could become a member of the alliance if it renounces part of the occupied territories, i think it is possible the solution for ukraine could be to give up the territory it receives in exchange for nato membership. decision, these words provoked a violent reaction from official kyiv, because they understand that this was not a private opinion of a nato official , but one of the real scenarios that western leaders talk about when thinking about ways to end the russian-ukrainian war

, such an entry is strange, it is absolutely incomprehensible why this was done, in order to be in good condition since february 24, 2022, the official ukrainian position remains unchanged, the way to the end of the war is the implementation of president zelenskyi's peace plan, in which the main the point of withdrawal of russian troops from all ukrainian territories within the borders of 1991 until now kyiv does not want to sit down at the negotiating table with moscow ukraine is trying to convey its position not only to allies but also to the countries of the so-called global south china , india, brazil and others were dedicated to this jeddah itself in saudi arabia at the beginning of august shows that russia was not invited to the meeting, but representatives of china took part in it, the summit ended without a joint summary, so reevaluate it

the meaning is probably not worth it, and it became known immediately after the meeting in jidda that india decided not to invite zelensky in new delhi to the g20 summit in september. putin, as a participant in the format, is on the list of invitees to say that it is too early to win the negotiation track in the west, official western leaders always emphasize when to sit down at the negotiating table should be decided by ukraine and not officially, according to the authoritative american publication the walt street girl, they are already considering the spring military campaign of 2024 , which ukraine may need for liberation of the territory this week, the united states finally confirmed that after the training of ukrainian pilots on f-16 fighters , kyiv will receive the planes themselves, and secretary of state blinken asked congress to speed up the approval of a new package of aid to ukraine , of which more than 13 billion dollars will go to strengthening the armed forces of ukraine and this package

unlikely to be the last we will not hesitate to go to congress again if we feel the need to do so and ask for more after the first quarter or if we need to make changes to what we have already demanded which of the scenarios will win in the end depends on many factors, including public opinion in the west, therefore moscow will once again activate its agents and sympathizers, for example, this week the ex-president of france, nicolas arkuzi, convicted of corruption, in an interview, stated in an interview about ukraine's inability to liberate crimea and called for he called the so-called referendums on all the territories captured by russia quote controversial however, the decisive word will likely be with the armed forces of ukraine if the summer or autumn campaign ends with an obvious success in the west, they will probably continue to provide military support on a large scale, if not, different options are possible, in particular, not

public coercion to negotiate with us , contact volodymyr khandogii, diplomat , acting minister of foreign affairs of ukraine in 2009, mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you so, after of a full-scale invasion, our relations with nato have become closer and ratings they say that ukrainians want to join the alliance more than ever, this is not surprising, since we first of all consider nato as guarantee of security, many experts emphasize that this is possible not before our victory, and president zelenskyi has repeatedly said that there will be no concessions on the territories , and here we hear such a strange statement and later its unconvincing refutation. in your opinion, this is really a mistake, the phrase is taken out of context. is that all ? talks about forcing ukraine to give up territories in exchange for a cease-fire

are being held. well, this statement really did a lot in ukraine, but first of all it should be noted that in reality it was not even a statement it was the statement of one of the officials of the nato secretariat will not be said during the discussion, then it was to some extent translated into another already in the newspaper, but it must also be understood that this official, in principle, has no right to express the position of nato. so, most likely , it is his a personal opinion expressed unsuccessfully, it is to some extent taken out of context and the most important thing is that it would not be convincing, as you said, but still he refused what he said. therefore, i think we have no

grounds for such a serious analysis of these the words spoken by the nato head of this plan and these positions of this organization, read the declaration that was signed in vilnius at the nato summit attended by the president of ukraine, and it is there that the fundamental principles of our cooperation in the future, including membership, were laid down nato does not give any references or any words that it will depend on what territories will be there at that time in ukraine; moreover , it is said that ukraine itself will decide the time and conditions of the end of the war and in accordance with the entry into the alliance. so, i think there it is necessary to take note of what konize said, it cannot be ruled out that it was a certain sounding. i personally do not really believe it, but it is important that there is an opinion that

they tried to present the reactions in such and such a way, then in this case it is possible to say that it worked, this statement worked in our favor, so it caused a certain wave of comments, which absolutely clearly once again confirmed that ukraine will not accept any trade in territories and that it will itself determine on what terms we will join nato and to end the war, mr. volodymyr, i would like to mention the summit in saudi arabia, at which there were representatives of forty countries , but without the russian federation, russian officials are worried, write sections, they are indignant that the leaders discussed ending the war without the participation of the kremlin. especially since there were representatives of china at the summit, and the next meeting is already being planned and again without the russian federation, is it possible to declare that this is a strengthening of russia’s isolation in the world well, first of all, i would like

to pay attention to the terminology again, it is not by any means the leaders themselves and it is not the leaders who gathered in gina there were more than forty representatives of the states who were either the political ideas of the ministry of foreign affairs or the political advisers of the council of states, because it was a working meeting during which this was the second, the first was in stockholm, then it was already now and at which it is being discussed president zelenskyi's peace formula is being developed, some kind of joint document is being developed, which may someday become the basis for consideration and approval at the summit itself, when this will take place, we do not know yet, but work in this direction is ongoing. so this is the first, the second, from the point of view of isolation, definitely the absence of russia indicates that russia has lost its role as an influential international player, particularly in

the part that concerns ukraine, and without it, the formula for peace is being worked out without it , which will be, well, virtual. i think it is supported , but one should not exaggerate the importance of more it is not even important to exaggerate such a positive component as the participation of china there or india in these e in this meeting in this conference because we know that both china and india are engaged in and we will be frank in their position which is more inclined to the position of the russian federation, so far they have avoided condemning russian aggression against ukraine . so what role do they play internally during the discussions during the negotiations

? and china, it complicates the development of this general position, which would be beneficial and would be acceptable for ukraine, positive, and their participation is still important, it demonstrates that it is the states in which way they want to be, you know, in to the same boat with others who are working on the development of a peace formula for ukraine, mr. volodymyr, i thank you for today's conversation, now it is official that the naval surface drones that successfully attacked the crimean bridge, as well as the russian amphibious ship alinigorsk hornyak and the tanker juice, are the own technical development of the security service of ukraine. he stated this the head of the sbu, vasyl makyk, in an exclusive comment to the american tv channel cnn. he added that

the team of the security service of ukraine is working on the development of such drones and their production, which civil engineers and it specialists help, talking about the more detailed special operations, vasyl makyk emphasized that all the targets hit by the special services are completely legal in accordance with ukrainian legislation and international law, and emphasized that western partners do not participate in these special operations, but actively adopt the unique experience of the security service ukraine, we sincerely wish our special services continued successful special operations against the russian occupiers, the history of the combat unit, which we will now tell you about

started back in november 2013 during the revolution of dignity , they were called right-wing radicals , and their leader's business cards scared the whole of russia. the film crew of the espresso tv channel had a unique opportunity to visit the positions of these soldiers . for more details, see the article by artem lahutenko, luhansk region, kremin forests these thick and boundless thickets became the field of a hellish battle. denisev constantly moves from one side to another. he serves in the mortar battery of the 67th brigade, a military unit better known to ukrainians as the right
