in may and june, we received a lot of people, then the intensity of evacuation decreased, but currently, over the past three days , shelling from russia along our border has also increased, it seems that yesterday even such a negative record was set, er, more than 50 cases of use, use coffees along the border, and this , accordingly... leads to the flow of internally displaced persons and directly to start with sums, sums were previously accepted by many from the border, and in total our community has already accepted more than 30 thousand refugees in two years, but if we talk about the numbers, for example from yesterday, then... in total

, almost 140 people from the border arrived yesterday. hundreds of people, we can accept people, as well as proposals for relocation to other regions, there to poltava, to kyiv, we provide all the necessary transport, including, however , of these 140 people, none left the region , 20 remained in our hostels people, everyone else, they are in sumy, but went to their loved ones, relatives and friends, the people of sumy open their doors and gladly support their acquaintances and relatives. i also want to ask you

in time to ask about the crossing point in kolotylivka, which is on the border between sumy oblast and the russian federation. alternative, maybe the way now and how many people in general have used this way, what can you say about it, and i will tell you that this point is not it is being temporarily closed for the first time, so this is... in principle a normal procedure, it has been actively, really actively working for almost a year, before that there was also a break, and the total figure is more than 30 thousand returned ukrainians, as a rule, these are from the temporarily occupied regions, zaporizhzhia , luhansk, crimea, all.

the fact that he is not working at the moment is definitely temporary, as before we have all the signs that we will return to his work and return ukrainians again. thank you for joining svoboda ranok, oleksiy drozdenko, head of the sumy city military administration, we talked about the situation in the region. now let's talk about active combat operations, about the situation at the front: the defense forces of ukraine have restored some lost positions in the village of new york, this is in donetsk region, the turkish direction, this is reported by the ukrainian monitoring project deep state, it is about the positions near boarding school number 38 , on which the russian military had previously hung the russian tricolor. fighting in the village continues, about the alleged capture new york was informed by the russian side on august 6, however, in the center of countering disinformation. it was denied. scouts

of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade showed a video showing the ukrainian flag. it was the fighters of this brigade who had to and managed to recapture the positions in the north of the settlement. this is reported by the military portal with reference to the press service of this brigade. there, they say, heavy battles are taking place in virtually every street. it was possible to restore the lost positions in the area of ​​the city of chasiv yar, this is already the kramatorsk direction. analysts of the american institute the study of war. in their report, they write that the defense forces managed to advance through the siverskyi donetsk-donbask reclamation channel and recapture positions in the golubovskyi 2 stucco botanical reserve, but they do not specify when exactly this happened. the institute also notes that fighting continues in the eastern neighborhoods of novy and zhovtnevy chasovoy yar, as well as north of the city and east. officially, the ukrainian general staff did not confirm this. in the last appeal there , they reported about... seven attacks in the previous day

near the temporal ravine and about uncontrollable strikes aviation missiles. i encourage our viewers to write comments and participate. directly on our air, you can comment on what you heard, you can discuss with those theses that sound on this air, from the experts that we include, already also share the information that you know, and also write what sources of information you use when such events take place, on the front, on the one hand, and how to monitor it, and on the other hand, such events as on the territory of the russian federation. in kurshchyna, for example, and also a difficult situation on the turkish side, in the donetsk region, there are daily battles, namely the city of toretsk, as the ukrainian military says, russian troops are practically razing to the ground, and the correspondents of

the radio liberty project have visited this part of the front, now let's see you have their report. in army parlance, this is called "driving in on the gray". in the city, where two months ago the operator and i moved without body armor, now you can enter only at night and with full ammunition, here you can already be afraid, here you can already be afraid, yes, the situation in turkey changed very quickly, it is not a military secret that one of the brigades that defended the city was transferred to the neighboring direction, where the situation was more critical, the russian troops took advantage of this and now almost the best forces are thrown to hold toretsk . these are the mortars of the safari regiment of the united assault brigade of the national police. people behind them are the special operation to force the dnieper near energodar, the defense of bakhmut and the time ravine, and the liberation of klitschivka. ono sees a baha nearby,

then wakes up. all local volunteers yet from 2022. they know that... in the war, they know, yes, and how old are the children, double seven, the eldest 13, 13, yes, that is, there are three of you, yes, of course, you could write it off like that, i could, well, i didn’t decide sit under your wife's skirt, and this mood is largely determined by the local garrison, the war was changing, here they still connect their aviation and aviation and they use mortars, according to the same calculations , they can just throw mortars, well, that's it. it's on drones, it's flying somewhere. shot. in fact, the city is equal to the land. this is done for that reason, so that the ukrainian soldiers could not gain a foothold behind the city

buildings. peaceful people, civilians, still live in turkey, but they try not to go outside. over the past two weeks , more people have been evacuated from turkey. locals, according to the latest data, there are about 35 people left here today, who is also joined on our broadcast by kyrylo sazonov, a political scientist, a soldier of the armed forces of the 41st separate mechanized brigade, congratulations, kyrylo, thank you for joining, congratulations, i am glad to see you, it was very difficult to contact, but managed to do so well, thank you very much for contacting and communicating with the ukrainian population from the front, i want to ask you about the time and what is the situation there. the essence of the study of the war wrote about the fact that the ukrainian army managed to recapture certain positions there, describe what the situation is? the situation developed in such a way that , in my memory, the enemy tried three times since march to bypass chasivyar from two sides, to take us , such as our own natives, and force us to leave

the city, but the enemy did not succeed either, gradually destroying the kanal neighborhood, which is closer to bakhmut and on the other side of the real canal , the northern donets-donbass, he rested on it and... the canal became such an obstacle for the enemy to advance, because the equipment does not go through it, it stops, and immediately our fivishkas, our mortars, our arta are working , and what are the mortars of the thunder tactical unit and what is the arta of the 41st brigade, the enemy knows very well, this is a sniper, these guys work very accurately, so it does not work with equipment, there are only two areas in the city where you can go through the canal, where there are passages, so they... crawled in they chose this tactic of advancing in small groups, i call them pairs, because there they work in pars, this is actually how they worked with muskets back in musketeer france, it works like this even now, and attack aircraft and special forces work like this, that is, two, three- four pairs at most, rarely up to six pairs

break through the channel, the infantry gives it, as usual, it is easy enough to attack, and they try to enter our territory and gain a foothold, there were two attempts. quite successfully, first a few days ago the group came in and managed to dig in, burrow there, to gain a foothold, but without reinforcements, without water being thrown at them, bk, they were knocked out of... there in two days, the other group also stormed along the beam, entered, took positions, but they were also cut off from their own and destroyed, and yes, well, the constant situation is such that every minute i can’t say exactly how many breakthroughs there are, because they are constantly climbing in different places, somewhere they are destroyed on the approaches, somewhere they accumulate strength, when they get to the channel itself, they break through there, they are already on their way battles, then mortars are no longer working, ours is working infantry, stormtroopers clear them, and they... constantly try to advance somewhere in small groups, but this continued for about three days,

then they were cleared at night, you could say that they were no longer here all night, there is not a single enemy on this side of the canal , and ours went across the channel themselves, slightly pushed the enemy out of position, but we understand that on the other side of the channel, it is already difficult for us, because we are being shot at, because there are many drones, many artillery, many barrels, many bk, many. .. mines, and there is already enough for our groups it's difficult, because on the other side of the canal, the neighborhood, well, it was used by the cabs with the help of hailstones, with the help of sundials, they used it, it's a very bad thing, there 's not even a pile of bricks there anymore, there's a pile of rubble. kirill, here is the question, does what is happening in kursk oblast have any effect on the number of attacks, on the number of forces on the russian side, because these days, we understand, many military experts say that one of the goals - this may be precisely the withdrawal of russian troops from those directions where there is now a large

pressure, but are there any changes already? there is definitely such a goal, but firstly, it is not fast, secondly, to assess such a situation, to assess it in general on a large scale, it is necessary to assess it on the scale of the general staff or at least osubkhortytsia, it is difficult for me to say when a small area, i understand, that the kurdish region is a group of troops, the north and... the so-called russian, this is the leningrad military district, they have, under their command , troops in the belgorod, kursk, and bryansk regions, and that is why they are transferring now, it seems to me, from the direction of kharkiv, and exactly, those the events that are taking place in kursk, those events until there is no official information, we cannot say anything, but they also force them to relax the pressure on vovchansk and kupyansk, this is, first of all, this group of troops, to be transferred from donetsk. it is not fast to get the troops to the north, it has to

be replaced by someone, so they can , i think, use the reserves that they had far from the borders, which they planned to throw at donetsk region, to the maximum, they will throw them now at the kursk region, such maybe, but i don't know that, and yet we don't forget that the priority goal, such a priority of priorities for them, is the donetsk region, chasik, toreets, and the priority itself is the pokrovsky direction. they succeed in something, they are making some progress, and the pokrovsky direction is the main thing for them, i see that they are in a hurry, they really, really want to go to the borders of the donetsk region, as if they have, as journalists say, some kind of deadline, whether it is the autumn peace summit , whether it's the elections in the united states, i don't know politically, what is pushing them, but they are climbing here very actively and to say that it has become easier here, no, here it did not get easier, well, before the official global assembly of the general staff, we understand that on the ground, if the situation does not change, and you talk about such probable targets and that the onslaught continues, and we have seen the footage, what

the time looks like, and that the weaponry you mentioned, which the russian forces use there, surely indicates that this pressure is there, thank you kyrylo, for joining our broadcast despite the difficulties, kyrylo sezonov, political scientist, serviceman of the armed forces of ukraine, 41st of a separate mechanized brigade, was a guest of svoboda ranok. thanks to all ours to the audience for being with us, for supporting. like, subscribe to the radio liberty channel - this is extremely important for the distribution of these videos on ukrainian youtube, my name is kateryna nekrecha and i and our entire team wish you a peaceful day and remind you that we meet with you every morning from 9 o'clock on weekdays on the air of tv channels and on youtube on the radio svoboda channel. see you soon, take care! tired of

is it possible that this is such a universal slap to putin in order to show him that he... is not in control at all, yes, i, of course, more expert in public communications than in military affairs, so i also have, so to speak, these associations and these motives, as if they are the first to come to mind, but still, during this time that our military actually became public, i got the impression that they are still guided by slightly different considerations, and i hope that this operation has a military significance first of all, of course, we cannot understand and evaluate it with an outsider's eye now, moreover, if such things are planned and

implemented, then their organizers are trying to... do anything, make every effort to fulfill their plan did not understand even the opponent, who has the appropriate development and even more so, we, the outside spectators, will watch how it will develop, already now, at the moment, it is obvious to me the actual military, tactical effect, which consists in the fact that the russians are forced to pull away from the hottest points, where they ee.. well, actually they pushed our defense, where they had a great advantage, where they had the initiative, now this action, so to speak, breaks their plans, they... are forced to take some part of the troops from there, maybe they already have a different mood. and this is some kind of first consequence, but i hope that there will be more the following, well, actually in the president's office

, zelensky himself says that this is also the case, that first of all , the russians should feel what it is like when they attack some of your populated areas, and secondly, that this can be the subject of strengthening our position on future negotiations, which probably, maybe sometime before the end of the year, may begin, once again, the armenians were told again... that maybe russia will be invited in some way to this second round of negotiations, in this regard, i want to ask about such a thing: where do we have such almost ones from? the belief is gradually growing in society, even with the military, i am talking to them that somewhere in the fall, well closer to the winter at the most, there will be some negotiations, do you also share all these things, or is it more than some intuition, what is this based on? under this there is, in my opinion , quite... such an objective and indisputable reality, which consists in the fact that military actions, the war, as a matter of fact, has come to a dead end, and

the maximum programs that russia has set, it cannot with those forces , which today are involved in achieving, and ukraine cannot achieve its program of reaching the borders of 1991 of the year, military methods will be achieved in... some comprehensive perspective, so there is no other way out of this situation than the actual freezing of the conflict for objective reasons, but of course the parties did not give up their intention to win some form of victory, therefore, they will put pressure on each other with the aim of negotiating better terms, that is... the offensive that we have seen and continue to see from the russian side, this is the pressure of putin and his regime on ukraine and on our western partners, in order to leave out of

this situation with as many advantages as possible for russia. our action is obviously aimed at somehow equalizing these chances, because we somehow lost the initiative a long time ago and were under pressure. you know, valery pekar, who is... a ukrainian public intellectual, a teacher of the yaumyan language at the business school, he often strategizes, in particular in social networks, tries to feel out some scenario, often goes to the ice tanks that no one else dares to do, and he wrote not so long ago about some strategies for ending the war, and when we talk about this freezing of the conflict, we are all in principle we understand what russia will do, literally on the second day after this freezing of the conflict , it will prepare for a new war before a new one. war before a new attack, we saw on the example of the second chechen war, how it happened and so on after khasavirt, the question of what ukraine will do on the second day after

this freezing of the conflict, because there is still a sub-question, how will we understand that this is a freezing, will it be like this, some kind of meeting, after this cease-fire, or will it just be a gradual slowdown some offensive actions, i just mean, how will we understand that it's time for us to somehow ... move to a more democratic way of life, what does that mean, to move to some reforms, how much time will we have for this, will we be able in fact, also to prepare for the next phase of the war in order to reduce the chances that it will happen, well, there are three questions at once, i will try to answer them one by one, how we will understand and how this freezing can happen, in the end, i will actually freeze the practice and theory. conflicts, i once studied it at the marshall center in harmish partinkirchen, it consists in the fact that the first

moment and the first stage, which, by the way , the chinese side is talking about, is an unconditional ceasefire. to date, putin in his infamous peaceful proposal, so to speak, to which the russians keep returning, he talks about ending the war, but... the fire, but conditioned on certain conditions, which are obviously not acceptable for ukraine and for russia , and for our western partners in the same way, but from the thesis about the conditions for ending the war, to the thesis about unconditional the cessation of war, the ceasefire that actually took place before minsk, there or as a result of minsk the first, only one step, and this step... actually, today, i understand, somewhere in these shuttle diplomacy negotiations, what is next is largely discussed? further, it is obvious that this step... will not

be accompanied by any principled agreements, russia will not give any guarantees, ukraine will not recognize the occupied territories as the property of russia, and so on, that is , the process of negotiations, bargaining, and pressure begins, which we are not used to, to which which will be how ukraine will behave in these conditions, this will be a derived reality, the most important thing is that for russia, for us, the most important thing for us is that... russia will continue to be under pressure, under external pressure, under sanctions, under international isolation, and that in internal problems were increasing, this is the main thing for us. ugh. and finally, the third, how we will return to a peaceful life. well, it actually depends on whether russia will be ready to prepare for a new war, if so, then we will also prepare, and

we will not return to a normal way of life. still very for a long time, if this, so to speak, this epiphany appears in us, i think that the first thing that will happen is a sharp aggravation of the domestic political situation, the authorities will try to hold elections, maybe plebiscites are on the agenda now, but first of all to restore its legitimacy and against this background, there will be great social unrest, great political tension, in the public space there will be... a lot of internal aggression, and depending on how we get out of this, everything else will depend, reforms, democratization, and so on. well, thank you, mr. maksym, maksym is smart was with us, they talked a little about the prospects, the ceasefire by the end of this year, what we hope for, whether it can also be the subject of future negotiations, and what is happening now in kurshchyna, and about how

we should return to... normal life , this requires a lot of wisdom, first of all politicians and voters, which we are with you, and of course the media should do its job, provide a platform for expressing different opinions, and also tell the truth, even if this truth is painful, well the wall street journal, by the way, i wrote that these events in the kursk region are one of... one of ukraine's attempts to prepare a strong basis for negotiations, which is very important for ukraine, which is preparing for the second peace summit, it was previously reported that if russia is going to be invited there, of course russia will agree to some conditions and peace plans according to the ukrainian scenario, well, that is another question, nevertheless, the spokesman of the european commission,

peter stanu, also commented on... the events in the kursk region and stated that according to the international by law, ukraine has a legal right to defend oneself, including striking the aggressor on his territory. our colleague kateryna shirokopoyas knows more news, as always, katya, i welcome you again, what will this issue be about? congratulations to andria, congratulations to ulyana, i will tell our viewers in a moment how many ukrainian defenders of the sky managed to knock down during the night of chess. and also why there was an explosive night in the temporarily occupied crimea.
