i will not be afraid of this wording, a special military operation to demilitarize the kursk region of russia, with me as a guest today roman pohorily, this is the co-founder and senior analyst of the deep state resource, and actually roman, i want to discuss the goal with you. of this operation, we have been watching for several days how our forces break through the defense of the russians, seize new and new territories in the kursk region, but we do not know anything about the goal, what do you think the goal is? congratulations, well, if we talk about the goals and objectives that have been set for today, then they definitely do not exist, because , first of all , our military and political leadership chose the position of silence, and this is probably the most ... niche position of all, which there was before that there is now, and now there are certain

versions, there someone says that it is to get to the gas distribution station, there to the as, and to have some leverage, someone simply says that it is the capture of the territory, the return of the territory, which is also maybe in the future we will agree on certain positions of the negotiations, in particular this was noted by a representative of... the president's office, i don't know what this comment was for, but so be it, someone says that it is a withdrawal of some reserves so that the muscovites could withdraw them from belgorod, there from donbass. for today day, how many days have already passed, our guys do not feel this distraction, if it was even there, because a very large number of forces are concentrated there, in particular, this is if we talk about the avdiivka, pokrovska or toretska area, but time will tell here, for today this work is being done, in the future we will see what it was all for, the main thing is that

it reaches its end, so that it does not find its fulfillment, and what these tasks are. and there are all these versions, then there is no difference, nevertheless, i would like to discuss them with you, because how do you correctly noted, the ukrainian official side does not say anything about this operation, but we are interested in understanding what it will be, whether it will be another sortie, as it was, we observed several times in the performance of russian volunteer units, which event. went to the territory of the russian federation, fought there for several days, took videos and photos and left. well, there are already at the first moment, signs that show that these are much larger-scale events, and they have some serious goals, because when the previous times came, there are certain units, in particular, if we talk about rdk and others, there was a lot of media

content of some kind. it was certain processes that had their tasks, to date we do not see that today there is any media coverage, we do not see that it was done there on purpose, because where the footage comes from, where there are some fighters, where they are applied damage, where there are some clashes and in general, who inflict these blows, in particular, tonight a whole column was burned, which was going there for some... their reflections, then this shows a serious scale, what is happening today is definitely not some previous actions that were on our side, but you know, as a war correspondent, as a ukrainian, it was very infuriating that we had some kind of conditional,

probably, maybe not conditional red line, so that our troops could not... cross the border and enter the territory of the russian federation, this is what we saw during the kharkiv counteroffensive, so when our troops liberated the region, reached the border and stood and were forced were watching the russians build up troops, and now obviously that ban has been lifted, i understand correctly, i don't know if it's been lifted, and a lot of people don't know whether to remove there, if there were any bans on...to date, again , we can there by some indications to speak, there are any agreements, no, first of all, it is that there is already the united states, the european union, and in general the partners said that they do not know about these maneuvers, and if this is really the case, that is, we just took and did his work, and no one tells us about it anymore, it is possible, it is not possible, it is military and political

the leadership should be proud of today's actions, because previously we...somehow there discussed, asked, discussed, we built some frameworks, what is possible, what is not possible, what can be beaten, where can we go, but today we have such a position , that the enemy has concentrated a large number of forces, and the enemy is implementing these forces in the east, in particular there in the donetsk region, we see that the map changes every day, we see that there is an advance every day, and to date, everyone is already there as partners, they... are approaching somewhere from the side to negotiations, they force us to involve the muscovites in the negotiation process, in a peaceful one, although they are not supposed to discuss any points there, they only have to answer for what they have done and for their aggression, because the international world has recognized that aggression is a crime for which it is necessary to punish, therefore

there can be no discussions here, and today we are the wolf who is cornered, and we have to, as in that case... only to find some most frank solutions that will give at least some chance to survive, here one of them, so i don't know if there were any agreements, already today it is reported that we are in contact with the united states there, no one has told us anything, the answer was clear and quite comprehensive that this is ours, our war, these are our decisions and no one has the right to interfere, so there are already agreements ... probably only our highest representatives of the government know about them. the washington post, on condition of anonymity, is one of the advisers of president zeleny. said that the defense forces in the kursk region captured more than 100 russian soldiers and that we allegedly control 100 km there

territory, at the same time we have completely different data, different figures, for example, the russian liberal edition of the agency says as much as 430 km, and what are your data? and why are the numbers so different? we don't have data, because this is exactly the process that we try not to discuss, and we showed there certain first days of markings, so that people are already saturated with a little information, so that they understand that something is happening, because to contemplate how for 3 days everyone eats this the russian information space, being in a ten-year war, in particular in the information space spacious, well, it's difficult, but that's how it is. about the fact that there are differences, how many have taken, how many have passed, because no one knows anything, and everyone is trying to guess somewhere, draw something of their own, someone

has their own sources, by the way, international media is such a funny process when our military-political leadership is silent, they do not comment, it was already mentioned, well, it was quite funny, and they start there, an unnamed general from the general staff, not there on... named some adviser to the president's office, not named there someone else someone else, well, i don't know, i call it a fantasy, because in some other way, i guess they should approach the point of writing at least something about it, and they have nothing, they come from such and such, and that's why, that's why they differ numbers, everyone is trying to guess something somewhere, of course everyone is reading, oh there the military wrote russian, wrote russian, wrote russian, i have only one question, since when did this... the russians became the source after all those lies and after everything that we they have already survived the war, that's all. by the way, this is a really funny moment, if i'm not mistaken,

bloomberg recently published an article that the general staff does not pick up the phone and does not comment on these events. speaking of the advance of our troops, we actually have a great video from the village of oktyabrska, i'll ask. the editors can now show it, there is just a lot of burned equipment standing along the road, this road, by the way, leads directly to the regional center, to kursk, and to the kurdistan nuclear power plant, it is noticeable that the village of oktyabrske is located somewhere 50 km from suzha, but from which... in fact, the entire information space began to discuss the offensive in kursk region mr. roman, in your opinion, what does this mean that our forces are going to kursk?

perhaps, perhaps, now, once again , it is difficult and unnecessary to draw an exact zone where our military is located, and we do not know the tasks that are set there, and that is good, the military knows about them. management, they are currently implementing their tasks, ah, who is interested, would like to know more, please join the guys in all these landings, all these roads and learn about all the plans that interest you, kurdsk , ac, a gas distribution station, something else is unknown, and it is great that it is unknown, we can see the results, here is a video showing the damage to this column. enjoy, i'm sure, there will be more of this, and we will see the consequences in time, for sure. i would like to talk to you about the military forces of the enemy, which

he has in the kursk region. as a matter of fact, we saw a lot of strange information, in particular, about the kadyrivites, who blocked themselves there, then went somewhere in the wrong direction, then declared that they had escaped with our troops. and what actually happens, is there on the territory are there any troops in the kursk region that can oppose us? well , today, if you look at what we already have, they met, met, the first are, as they call, conscripts, akhmat is somewhere there, running, it is not known where, filming in some baths there, that they are on at the front, they force their own soldiers from the russian federation to apologize if they say something there that they were not there, very funny and very mysterious, but muscovites... they have certain

resources, they are already collecting them, it is again very funny to watch how they are everything filming where they go, where they concentrate there, and i'm sure they will use all of this, and usually, if you look at the previous actions, they unfolded quite quickly, i don't know if they knew that something was going to happen and were they already ready, or did they really have reserves somewhere and did they usually involve the russian guard? these are not insignificant forces, they are literally police forces, they are military forces, but today it is more and more serious, they are now gathering regular troops, they are collecting equipment like they will implement where, so far not much is known, and here we will also see in time how they will generally take some positions, there is information that they charge from different directions, first of all, it is belgorod,

that is, the northern borders. and on the one hand, at that time, as kharkiv region was discussed, it was possible to think, and they could have such tasks, to realize all this concentration of forces at once, but they start them gradually, by which they delay time, hold a certain territory and delay it again our reserves, and they they have the resources for this, they have been holding this entire territory for more than one day, for a week, and there after... one group that is destroyed, another one immediately comes and so day after day, that is why the forces that they have concentrated there are certain information that they are transferring it to the khursk region, then there was information that they are also coming from the south, it will take a considerable amount of time to cross there from one point to another, but excuse me, i will clarify from the south, what exactly do you mean, the south, zaporizhzhia district, kherson region,

let it be... yes, i don't know for sure, it's just that south, where they occupied the territory, and whether this is also reliably unknown, that is , time will tell here, firstly, it always, when they moved something, it got out later where they lit up, then time is still needed for overturning , on the one hand , they know how to do it, they are constantly pulling somewhere along the front, and only they see some opportunity there for advancement, for a favorable situation, they throw it there... the reserves use them quickly, on the other hand, here it is so unexpected that started, so of course they are already pulling it, they will do it, but how will they implement it and whether they will succeed with this disorganization, primarily informational , as it is, we will see here, i hope our defense forces will destroy them and everything will be fine, but as for the use of missiles, as far as i

understand it... is it a bigger obstacle that our forces are currently facing in the kursk region? but this is not only the kursk region, it is everywhere along the entire front line, first of all, they always had an advantage, and this is such a key, one of the main, or rather means, it is aviation with their cabs, fabs, and if speaking there along the front line, this is now the pokrovska district, there is turetska, they started working very actively, in particular, when they had an advance and still have, they there for... diluted all this attention and inflicting damage on populated areas, on the positions of the ukrainian military , and as they do, they simply wipe everything to zero, and then already the infantry, and they are simply swarming there, they continue to advance there , and in these simple conditions it is very difficult to somehow conduct battles, and nevertheless our defense forces are trying to restrain this whole pressure, so yes it is not an exception that in the kursk region, they will also apply all this, as

they did in... kharkiv oblast on the northern borders of vovchansk, which was simply destroyed first of all by kabas and fabas, this is what they did during the temporary peace in maryanka , in bakhmut, that is , this is now one of their main tactics, and this, unfortunately, is an advantage, but now they will have to wipe their own settlements off the face of the earth, which cannot help but please, not please, but it looks strange, because they it's good that... there are military men, whom they throw for meat and they simply do not appreciate them, and these military people trust everything there, they go into battle, they don’t do stabbings and all that, but when they come after civilians, they are ready to demolish entire settlements of their own people, their own houses, it looks wild and strange, and that , that the population, it supports everything there, it is...
