that they can't just come and take some important positions in a completely different field, because the field of series production and cinema, it is completely, completely different from each other, and people who work on television, produce series, they very often think, for some reason, that they are film fans, yes, that they are engaged in cinema, although it is completely different and these are industries that work according to completely different rules, and when tarasov came and answered questions at this competition, it was clear that... he is in many ways well, he is not oriented at all, but he still passed, and we see such a situation, again, about artem kolyubaev, i want to say that he is an absolutely ambiguous person, to put it mildly, and about him, fellow investigators have already done very, very many different investigations, which related not only to cinema, but now we can see fresh information from a colleague of the investigation, they found such information that the wife. artema kolyubaeva

bought a house in the united states, and she borrowed the money, partly the amount for the purchase, from the russians. let's see. artem kolyubaev. you may have heard this surname in communications with the head of the president's office andrii yarmak. these two are business partners in the past, they made movies together. now one politician, and the other suddenly began to grow business in construction, drone production and securities. found out that recently the kolyubayev family, who fled the war, bought a house in the suburbs of washington, and they borrowed money for it from, you know, the russians, this is such an interesting situation, please look at this investigation, because there they explain , that they did not know that they were russians, and what they will do next is unclear, as well as from bigus-info, journalists also repeatedly made investigations about... and in

each of them they emphasized that, first of all, it is relevant not only to the field of cinema, from which he started, because they together with andriy yarmak produced the film rules of battle, for example, they started together with him, then andriy yermak, when he became the head of the president's office, then things went very well for his partner artem kolyubaev immediately and dramatically, despite the fact that in quite different fields, from cinema to even procurement. meat there and to the drones, let's also see an excerpt from the bigus-info investigation. yermak is the producer, kolyubaev is the producer. yermak headed the president's office, kolyubaev began to get rich unexpectedly and enter the businesses of very serious people. these people are in no way related to cinema, it just happened: yermak vope, his partner kolyubaev, in a big business trip. of course, we started walking. that kolyubaev can

only be a proxy, and the shares written on him would really like to have the office of the president in his collection. well, roughly, this is exactly where ours speaks with these phrases the film community for the past few years, trying to say, part of the film community would be more correct, because the other part is trying to somehow be closer to the state cinema, because... it is clear that friendship or enmity there, loyalty, disloyalty depends on whether they get money for the production of their films or for holding festivals or for anything else, but even now there are two main positions in the film community, well, we understand that again, the statement that is constantly heard, and in various investigations, and in particular... in analytical ones

materials about the fact that andriy yarmak now controls, well, practically all the spheres that we have in ukraine now, and the sphere of film production is definitely also under his control, under the control of artem kolyubaev, as we can see, who managed to maintain his control, and any protests of our community, which also resort to court cases and try to... stand up for some of their positions, they still, well, i won't say that they will lose, but all the same their struggle continues, may they win the courts there, win some affairs, all the same we see that the situation continues, and for sure that we need to adjust to the fact that, first of all, in cinemas we will mostly continue to see ukrainian cinema, which will be commercial, that is , it is not artistic cinema, it is cinema that will be aimed at making money. money,

there is nothing wrong with that, but there should be other films, and if our producers, who are engaged in author's more serious cinema, manage to find somewhere... financing abroad, then we will also have something to perform at international film festivals, but their number of such tapes will naturally decrease, and this will affect the quality of ours cultural diplomacy, unfortunately, because film festivals are not just screenings of films, it is active communication between authors and the public, with directors, and with all other people who come to these film festivals, so with cultural and... film diplomacy, probably that for the next period, certain, certain, we will have to say goodbye and direct all our hopes to the ukrainian institute, this is the institution that is under the ministry of foreign affairs, and for sure the only one that is really engaged in

cultural diplomacy, although for very little money, and all the money go on at all other organizations, that's all, friends, i wish you... a nice, relaxing weekend and see you next week. congratulations, the program is on air. front and with you i am taras berezovyts. today in our program. named the candidate for the position of vice president of the united states from the democratic party. in addition to

pokrovsky, the russians are actively trying to advance in two other directions. the european parliament called for increasing the effectiveness of ukrainian f-16s. russia began supplying iran with weapons, the elections in moldova are turning into a russian special operation. the current vice-president of the usa and candidate for the post of president from the democratic party, kamelagaris, has officially named her running mate. he became the governor. shared on her page in the social network x. the wall street journal tells who this person is. so the details of the biography of the candidate for vice president from the democratic party are in

our story. american presidential candidate kamala harris chose a former congressman on august 6. and current minnesota governor tim walz as his democratic vice presidential nominee usa in case of victory in the elections. as a governor, coach, teacher and veteran, he helps working families like his own, and it's great to have him on the team. and now to work. tim walz is 60 years old, grew up in nebraska, and graduated from chadron state college with a degree in social sciences. later in the state of minnesota. and taught social studies, coached a high school football team and served 24 years in the us national guard. walsh is currently in his second term as governor of minnesota and chairs the democratic governors association. previously 12 years worked in congress and represented

the conservative rural district. as governor, walsh advocated for transgender people who are denied a full range of health care, and has overseen regulations since the 1990s. bt community. as governor, vols implemented medical and educational reforms - writes the new york times. in 2023, he signed legislation codifying abortion rights into state law. legalized marijuana, passed new gun control laws, provided free lunch to all public school students, created a program paid leave and gave illegal immigrants access to minnesota driver's licenses. at the same time in 2020. a barrage of criticism fell on the governor because of the killing of a black man, george floyd, by police officers, unian recalls. it happened in minneapolis, the largest city in minnesota, which walsh runs. then everyone noticed that walls was in no hurry to throw the forces

of the national guard of minnesota to suppress popular riots that broke out after this murder. his caution was qualified in different ways, and as not determination at the moment of crisis and how to react correctly. a situation when his electorate was on both sides of the conflict. regarding ukraine, after the start of the full-scale invasion, tim walls supported ukraine, condemned the invasion. refta stated that he is ready to help ukrainian refugees. in particular, vols signed a law requiring the state of minnesota to no longer do business in russia or belarus. at the same time , in february 2024, walz personally signed an agreement on cooperation between minnesota and chernihiv oblast in the agricultural sphere. after the election of tim wall as a candidate for vice president of the united states on august 7 at rally in philadelphia, the governor of minnesota for the first time appeared on the same stage with kamala garis as her partner, e.g. the recent elections, the bbc reports. during the speech, he said that donald trump will pull the united states back, that he

is not pulling anything in public service, because he is too busy serving himself. ahead of kamala garis and tim walz is a five-day tour of key states for the elections. during the party congress on august 19-22, they will officially accept the nomination and address their fellow party members with keynote speeches. and intrigue with the nomination of a candidate from the democratic party to the vice president this week was finally resolved. most american observers were convinced. vice president kamala garis will choose pennsylvania governor shapiro as her running mate. shapiro was known for having the most support among democratic party donors. however, most likely, he was let down by it being too big. publicity and ambiguous statements that he has already managed to make during the current presidential campaign. from

this point of view, tim walls, who represents minnesota, one of the key so-called battleground states in this campaign, looks like a less risky candidate. in addition, walls is a person who literally came from the people. for a long time, he worked as a teacher, and as you know, this specialty... in the states, traditionally, they enjoy great authority among voters. vols is also a person of extraordinary diplomatic abilities. in addition, it is also a very good choice for ukraine, because tim walls, while in the position of governor of minnesota, managed to do enough for governor, in order to support us in the war against russia. in the governor's position tim'. in particular, he banned all local businesses from doing any business with russians.

also, vols participated in a video call to the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, during which he also expressed full support for our war with russia. based on all this, american observers come to the conclusion: kamela garis and political technologists made a fairly good choice. against the background of the deterioration of the chances of the candidate from the republican party donald trump and his vice-presidential candidate, vance, the current couple, gary walls, looks more modern and attractive. according to the latest poll of the american cbs tv channel , kamela garis is ahead of donald trump in the national field by 1%. and in the states where the biggest struggle will take place, their chances. so far they have equalized. however, the dynamics of the election campaign of kamela garis and now

volza looks more powerful. however, it is at least too early to make final conclusions about the winner of the american elections, because the key televised debates are ahead, which may take place as early as next month. donald trump, meanwhile, continued to collect likes from social media users. he actively promotes his content not only on television, but also on the chinese tiktok. by the way, vice president kamela harris also opened her page on this chinese social network. trump and harris are hotly competing for the vote of young voters, and trump this week made another bid to appeal to young americans. he received the newest cyber ​​as a gift. produced by elon musk's company tesla for us, the key thing should be that

the topic of ukraine continues to be preserved in the american pre-election discourse, and currently this is exactly what is happening. at the same time , it must be said that so far the leadership in this absentee confrontation, using the topic of ukraine, is currently held by the candidate for the presidency of the usa, donald trump. he actively comments on this topic and his speakers do it for him as well. and experts supporting the former us president. on tuesday , august 6, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi... held a meeting of the stake supreme commander-in-chief, where the greatest attention was paid to the pokrovsky, toretsk and kharkiv directions. in his turn , the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrsky informed the president that he was at the scene of the events and was personally monitoring the situation.

read more about the situation at the front in our story. defense forces of ukraine entered the territory of the kursk region of the russian federation. the offensive has been going on for several days. various telegram channels publish a video of a breakthrough in the territory of the russian federation, ruins, concerns of local residents and the detention of russian soldiers in captivity. official there is no information from kyiv yet. the russian public assures that the armed forces managed not only to break through the russian border, but also to create a bridgehead on the enemy's territory in these few days. according to the american institute , the studied war and zaeconis during august 6-7 , ukrainian troops in kursk region managed to advance 10 km. on august 8 , the telegraph reported that the armed forces captured more territory in the kursk region in less than 48 hours than during the entire summer counteroffensive of 2023 . ukrainian troops quickly occupied about 350 km of russian territory and took dozens of

russians prisoner. in the russian public, meanwhile, there is a panic that... a possible seizure of the kursk as, so that it can then be exchanged for the zaporizhzhya as. however, ukrainian military experts believe that the purpose of the operation in kurshchyna is to stretch russian forces, as moscow tried to do during the offensive on kharkiv oblast and sumy oblast, to break through the border, to invade there and such words, these are not entirely correct, correct words, because we use , we are in defense today, only in defense there are... seven types of defense, this counterattack is not a counterattack, this is a counterattack, you know how active armor is on a tank, what active armor is, it’s armor with explosives, well, simply put, that is, when something flies to the tank’s armor, it explodes , there is an oncoming explosion, this is an active armor, this is an active defense,

this is an oncoming explosion, so this is a counterattack in order to make it impossible for the russians... to concentrate there, concentrate and take offensive actions on supshchyna, for some reason i am convinced that this is not raid, as the russian legions, russian volunteers did the corps, which are the legions, which take part in the hostilities on our side, because then they also commented, caesar, if i am not mistaken, i will name their leader, he said that this is a raid, a raid - it means entered, exited, here it does not look like a raid, most likely it is... to create a bridgehead, a sanitary zone, well, at least several tens of kilometers deep into the russian federation, so that they do not give them the opportunity to prepare and carry out the same offensive actions in sumy oblast, as they did in kharkiv region. i hope so there will be enough strength and means. at the same time, the ssu returned part of the lost positions in the area of ​​the city of chasivyar. the ukrainian military

advanced through the reclamation channel siverskyi donets-donbass and recaptured positions in the stupka goluby botanical reserve. fighting continues in the eastern microdistricts of novy and oktovnevy cities of chasiv yar. this was reported by the american institute for the study of war. the situation in the turkish and pokrovsky directions is also difficult. these three directions, from the times of yar turets and pokrovsk, can be conditionally combined into one direction. this is a direction on kostyantynivka, this is a railway junction, our main road, that is, a road that we actively use, our logistical route and the russians are trying to prevent us. in this, or in general, they dream of physically seizing this road so that they can use it independently, where it becomes more difficult for them, where we give an ax, they decrease there in one of these three directions of intensity, but it increases, well, they move there at a short distance, they move the troops including, they move, well, maybe not manpower, but

at least artillery shells, slaves, lancets, well, whatever they are. hostilities and are trying in another direction, for example, now they are most active in the chasovom direction, more so, three days ago it was the pokrovsky direction, and a week ago it was the teretsky direction, that is, we see, and so in a circle by and large, so it is still not worth saying that these are some separate areas, it is three in one, as they say, and also, as the analytical channel deep state reports, the fighters of the 53rd ombr restored the lost position near the new york special secondary school. schools boarding house number 38. however, fighting in new york continues, the situation remains difficult. the head of the subcommittee on defense of the european parliament, marie agnes strack zimmerman, called on the government of germany and other european union countries to

increase the efficiency of the f-16 fighter jets, which ukraine officially received on august 4. this was reported by the german tv channel cdf. according to the member of the european parliament, effective support should also include the supply of aviation cruise missiles and why has germany read so far? more about the situation in the following plots ukraine officially received the first f-16 aircraft, this was confirmed by the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi on august 4, on the day of the 20th anniversary of the air force of the armed forces of ukraine. during the ceremony of welcoming the soldiers, several f-16 fighter jets flew over the ukrainian sky. as reported by vzeekonist, ukraine. had 10 of the promised 79 aircraft, and by the end of 2024 , ukraine should fly 20 american-made fighters. the first 10 of

a possible 79 arrived in ukraine on the last day of july, a year after the reluctant the biden administration has finally given its more impatient european allies the green light to send them. by the end of 2024, ukraine... will fly 20 american-made fighter jets, the rest promised by the so-called f-16 coalition led by denmark and the netherlands will arrive in batches during 2025. f-16 is the most massive aircraft of the fourth generation, they are in service with 25 countries. in total, there are more than 10 of its modifications. the f-16 can reach a maximum speed of 2,410 km/h and a flight range of 4,220 km. the practical ceiling is 18 km, and the combat ceiling radius 550 km. this fighter can use air-to-air, air-to-air, surface-to-air missiles, guided and unguided bombs.

defines express experts noticed that the fighter jets transferred to ukraine are armed with two types of air-to-air missiles. aim-9 with infrared guidance for destroying targets in the short area and aim-120 guided by radar radiation, which is responsible for medium and longer ranges. also attention. can attract the unusual golden color of the cabin light, its coating uses gold and it allows reduce the radar visibility of the f-16. f-16 fighter jets are a powerful help to the armed forces, but everything also depends on what weapons the partners equip these fighters with. this is for ukrinform, a member of the bundestag, an expert in the field of defense policy of rodorigka za veter, said. former colonel of the bondiswe general staff. noted that individual weapon systems alone cannot change the situation on the front, as it always depends on a combination of factors, deployment options, time, the amount of delivered materials, etc.

the number of f-16s transferred to ukraine is small, so they will be more likely to be used to close gaps in air defense, because it is economically more profitable to shoot down missiles and drones with the help of air-to-air missiles than with more expensive missiles for the airist or patriot systems. according to the expert, in order to achieve air superiority over the enemy , a significantly larger number of aircraft is needed. if the f-16s will actually be used for direct air support of ukrainian troops at the front, especially against planning bombs, their number should be much larger, so ukraine asked for at least 128 planes. ukraine cannot win, cannot liberate any territory, with only air defense with the air force. also, according to him , ukraine must contrast the quality and efficiency of its forces with the russian superiority in numbers, so it is necessary to remove political restrictions on the use of western

weapons to destroy military targets on the territory of the russian federation within the limits of international law. in addition, it is necessary that ukraine not only has the possibility of hitting locations of deployment of russian assets in limited regions, as well as those related to military tasks, logistics facilities, and ammunition depots. uav factories, airfields and command posts on the territory of russia. according to reporters, two iranian officials, one of whom is a member of the islamic revolutionary guard corps, confirmed that iran had made a request for russian air defense equipment and that russia had agreed to the deliveries. besides. week it became known that tehran visited former minister of defense of russia, and now secretary of the security council of the russian federation, sergey shoigul. a russian official is in iran.

met with the new president of this country , massoud pazeshkian, as well as the commander of the iranian armed forces, brigadier general mohammad bagheri, who is in charge of planning military strikes against israel. read more about the situation in the middle east later in our story. iran has decided to attack israel, the head of the israeli foreign ministry, israel-katz, said on august 5, the jerusalem post reports. he conveyed the notice of such a decision to iran the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, peter szijjártó, who explained that he received this information from the acting minister of foreign affairs of iran, ali bagherri. iran has told us that it intends to attack israel. the world must demand a price from iran for any aggressive actions it takes.

the hungarian minister for... these affairs confirmed on facebook that he had called the foreign ministers of israel and iran, noting that concerns about developments in the middle east are growing, so time is running out. everyone can be sure if the current security crisis is spreading to one more country, it will not stop there, and in this case, the conflict can easily turn into a regional war, which can pose a threat to global security as a whole, so the international community must... concentrate all its forces on preventing escalation. hungary's position is clear. we cannot allow israel to suffer another terrorist attack like the one that happened last october. but at the same time , we must do everything possible to prevent the start of a major regional war. tensions between israel and iran have risen since the death of hamas political leader ismail haniyeh in tehran on july 31.

iran accused israel of this and promised to take cruel revenge. as it became known from the new york times, iran asked russia for the latest air defense systems to prepare for war with israel. the russian federation, in turn, has already started supplying weapons. the publication also notes that on august 5 , russian security official and ex-minister of defense sergey shuigu visited iran and met with president massoud pezeshkian, general mohamed bagheri, who manages military planning. attacks on israel and the secretary of the supreme national security council of iran. after this meeting, sheigu said that the russian federation is ready for full cooperation with iran on regional issues. although russia also has economic and cultural ties to israel, a large number of russian jews live in israel. analysts say russia cannot afford to turn down iran's aid requests because it relies heavily on

iranian aid. drones in ukraine, according to the bbc, biden said that his briefed on preparations to support israel in the event of an attack, and secretary of state anthony blinken added that the us was working around the clock to prevent an escalation. ilya kus, an expert on international politics of the analytical center ukrainian future institute , noted for unian that destabilization in the middle east is not beneficial for ukraine. instead, this kind of chaos is beneficial to russia, so they will help...inflame the atmosphere in the media. at the same time, as far as the immediate players in the middle east are concerned, no one wants a total war, because no one it is not ready. it's risky, expensive, and could hit the economy, especially iran, which has a weak economy. however, no one in the region wants to appear weak and everyone needs to save face. this is what the goal is now. they are trying to find a way to

save face, but at the same time... not to bring the situation to an uncontrolled escalation, hence all these stories with warnings, when the media part is used more than the real one, that is, there is almost a virtual war in the media, in reality, anything can happen much more difficult than it was in april. the visit of the former minister of defense of the russian federation, sergei shoigu, to iran created quite a stir. first of all. because of him israel should be strained. however, insiders reported that the real purpose of sergei shoigu's visit to the islamic republic of iran was another reason. he apparently came because of the insistence of the dictator vladimir putin to convince the leadership of iran to refrain from radical actions in relation to israel. it looks like moscow is trying to introduce behind-the-scenes diplomacy. with one hand.
