the russian offensive on vovchansk, but also the encirclement and destruction of the entire vovchansk group. defense forces have already launched a powerful offensive in vovchansk itself and are pushing the occupiers out of the city. however, strong support from the belgorod region can not only significantly speed up this process, but also trigger panic in belgorod itself. a new army of many thousands of refugees will definitely collapse the military logistics in this direction. for now, we can record that the armed forces of the russian federation are tightening up. its reserves back to russia from all directions of the front, except donetsk, where they still hope to maintain the pace of the offensive. instead, the ukrainian armed forces are daily forming a new demilitarized zone between the psel and seim rivers on their northeastern border. we win daily, death to enemies. in the august issue, the country magazine will tell about... return from captivity. how is ukraine looking for

direction, the enemy also advanced somewhat in the area of ​​new york, mykolaivka, zhuravka, and krasnohorivka. here is a dry summary. yes, we will talk directly with a soldier from the front, a soldier of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, about what is happening in the pokrovsky direction. oleksandr, good morning, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. we hope that this morning can be called a good one for you, as far as... it is possible, what is the activity of the russians in your direction now, what is the operational situation? well, the operational situation is actually not very good, heavy battles are going on in different areas in different settlements at the moment, that is, the enemy is actively continuing assault actions, mostly actions are taking place at the expense of infantry and large. of the number of infantry,

well, actually, if you look at the statistics, then in fact a third of the assault actions are in the pokrovsky direction, that is, they are all infantry storms, yes. i.e. 90-95 percent there are infantry assaults, and i am saying that the number of infantry is very large, and it has to be stopped in the gray zone, that is, with the help of all means of defeat, plus drones, or are there exactly contact battles? everything arises from the fact that there are also contact battles, there are also losses of certain positions, that is, well, the situation. is actually very difficult, we try to stop them on the approaches, using both artillery, and drones, and the fire of the bradley fighting vehicle, yes, but it is not always possible, and considering just the number of they, as they are now working, they

reach contact battles and constant assaults on our positions. oleksandr, please tell us more about the operational situation around grodivka. there were reports that... fighting was taking place near the settlement, then analysts reported on fighting in the settlement, this town is near pokrovsk and myrnograd, so what is the situation there and how much is the russian pressure there and what, how are the ukrainian defenders resisting, it is not our zone of responsibility, another brigade is located there, i know that the fighting started in the same settlement. at the moment

, it is still waiting to be clarified what the situation is as of now, but, in general, the enemy is pressing not only there, it is pressing in several areas, and it is entering with different, different units, so i think that the situation, most likely the battles are now taking place in the settlement itself , and one more moment, after the enemy captured the next advance, we saw that... they actually rested along the breech end, so they are walking along the river, that is, for them, this is a river obstacle is an obstacle really, or how to explain what do they slide along the shore so evenly? and, because it's not a very big river it would seem, in any case, the natural boundaries or natural obstacles there, they stop the enemy, they make it difficult for him to advance, but again it's just a... a small tool that can be used, and if it is not used correctly, the enemy will still overcome it, just like any line of defense, if it is not used in the necessary way, then it is almost not very effective, and

what about their tactics, except such meat assaults, they used to use a large number of guided air bombs in the same direction, these... have you now this intensity of dropping cabs increased, decreased, what does it look like now, i just have something to compare it to, that is, now there is not as much intensity as it was during the avdeiv operation, it is not as intense as it was in orichov, but it is used, that is, in small quantities, yes, but the cabs are constantly launched, in what and in... actually, this story from i understand that it is not your zone is somewhere fighting, but just interesting because just two days ago, we managed to recapture a whole part of the territory near new york, this is to the north, and then again, that is, there is such a very dynamic situation, what exactly is the difficulty there and why

is it swinging so much, we are repelling, entering, exiting, that is, what is happening there , you will understand what is actually happening. it will be constant movement, constant changes, some unit comes in that can hold fire damage there, restore positions there, the next one comes in, elementary rotation, they take losses, accordingly they have to roll back, ugh, and well, just as if on their part, there are more prepared, less prepared, there are factors that affect how they run. these hostilities, some are successful, some are not, well, in general, in addition to the aggravation and the offensive of the russians in the pokrov direction, the attention of many analysts is now focused on the kursk region, and many even say that the operation of the armed

forces of ukraine in the kursk region is aimed at to take part of the reserves from the enemy from the front line in the east of ukraine, tell me: as of now, have you already felt some sort of changes in the number of personnel, equipment, or that in your direction. no, unfortunately, not in our direction, and i explain this by the fact that it is strategically important for the enemy, he does not leave to reach the goal, namely the city of pokrovsk, that is why it is unlikely that they will transfer forces from this direction, the enemy continues to press , the intensity of the assaults, the intensity of the offensive here has not decreased, their area has not narrowed, that is, they continue to press here in several. directions, respectively, it is unlikely that they will take anything from here, but it is so strange, listen, they

are ready to lose the territories constitutionally recognized by the russian federation in order to capture pokrovsk, ukrainian pokrovsk, i don't understand the logic of the russians, well, it's the logic of russia, that is, in this case, the counterattack the day before yesterday was the bet of the supreme commander. there was mostly talk about the kursk region of the russian federation, and then last night the president said that he heard glavko masyrsky, the conversation was about your pokrovsky direction, did you feel something after that, i mean from the point of view of strengthening, look, well - the first strengthening there does not happen for half a day or one day there, it is also a matter of... throwing, raising reserves, certain reorganization, changes, that is, it all takes time, i think that our situation

will improve at times, the question is simply how quickly we do it we will be able to do, and at what lines we will be able to defeat the enemy, and when the enemy passed this after actually developing this avdiiv ridge, when he passed the reeds, when he came now to today's lines, how seriously did he... destroy these small settlements, they are there multitude, i.e. how much will he be able to strengthen there and is there a chance to push him out of all of them again, starting there from the desired city girl and moving there back in the direction of ocheretiny krasnogohorivka, is there a chance? as for the extent to which populated areas are destroyed there, it depends on the populated area in which... the events took place, because there are populated areas that have been completely destroyed, there are populated areas that are

sufficiently intact and the possibility of the enemy being there, well, in general, there is an opportunity for him to stay there, there is an opportunity to establish himself there and so on, with regard to whether there is a chance, well there is always a chance, everything rests on resources, everything rests on time, everything rests on preparation, and everything rests on expediency, yes, because we can conduct some kind of local operation there , for example, to restore a certain position, the question, if, does it make sense, because restoring a position surrounded by the enemy does not bring any benefit, uh, restoring a position where we can develop success, respectively, well, it has a certain value there, so somehow somehow yes, of course, mr. oleksandr, thank you for service, send greetings to all brothers in arms... the hardest, hottest pokrovsky direction and with us was serviceman

espresso, we keep donating and collecting. situation, ihor romanenko, founder of the charitable fund we will close the sky of ukraine, general, deputy, will help us in this chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 2006-10, joins us via skype. good morning, glory to ukraine. glory to the good. mr. igor, he actually wanted to push back with his attention riveted on the events in the kursk region, says headmaster sirskyi. informs the supreme commander about the advance of 1-2 km, about increasing the exchange fund of prisoners, yesterday 100, today we still see video footage of 30 others who surrendered. in a word, this is a very dynamic situation now, and we were also interested in this particular case, because it was

reports that the ukrainian aviation is also operating in the sky on this part of the front, but not f6. and those old soviet planes are quite successful, what can you share with us and how to see exactly this air component on this northern new section of the front? before that , it must be said that the actions of an offensive nature continue on the part of the defense forces of ukraine, but they have slowed down and it is clear why the resource is gathering in... the enemy is gathering the resource in different ways, that is, what they had at the border initially, what that they gathered oblasts around kursk and perekino. in this direction, all this did not work, it did not stop the ironing, and therefore there is a partial recoding from , including areas of the front, and especially from

the southern direction, well, the sevastopol marine brigade from below and others, and in addition, everywhere in the russian federation they are recoding from murmansk. kami, which putin promised that they would never take part in hostilities from the kaliningrad region and from others, and the equipment of the enemy is gradually being armed, and therefore the advance is slowing down, and this says that the time may be right when it will be appropriate for the defense forces of ukraine to switch from offensive actions to defense. it is very important to do this in a timely manner , taking into account the objective circumstances that arise, and thus, even if

the enemy's resources are exceeded in the defense system, well, so to speak, outmaneuvered, indeed, as for the air, there are new elements here compared to in other sections, other... fronts, it must be said that most likely this kursk direction is the formation of another front in our country. so from the very beginning the previous raids carried out by these russian volunteers were taken into account, that is, there were actually no samples and elements from anti-aircraft defense even after the raids. the russians used aviation, and we had to avoid the telian eyes or these volunteers, so they entered already with the presence

of anti-hail defense equipment, they shot down helicopters, and very recently, within a day, they already showed that it was destroyed by the isu-34, and we use a small amount there aircraft of the soviet era, but... aviation weapons are being adapted, which the allies add, and this improves the characteristics of the use of our aircraft and leads to this kind of results, what you mean is that in tyotkino so nearby the command post was quite accurately destroyed, so that is, it is an accurate western weapon in an old plane, and the weapon is new, so looks this is the use of aviation to strike ground objects and is very important, because there is a command post in teotkin,

the control system is disrupted, its potential is reduced, and this is reflected in the overall effectiveness of the enemy's combat operations, and this is very important, and we we see its application, besides , the su-34 was destroyed in the past day. modern aircraft, this is exactly the one that is a pilot-controlled aerial bomb, and it was made as a means of air defense, but there are versions, we don’t say what, whether it is our fighter or means of ground anti-air defense, but it’s all the same the factor of action in the air and this and that component both from the ground and... by something or an airplane is very important, that is, it indicates the presence of the use of our means in the air, and this distinguishes it from the previous actions of these raiders,

which were, well, the scale was different there, so this is such a new element that, of course, i agree with you, must be shown, emphasized, and behind this there is a corresponding perspective in the actions of our defense forces of ukraine. the general staff actually officially announced the most massive and simultaneous attack on enemy airfields, four airfields were hit, and we hear from this and this information that they actually concentrated the strikes primarily on the fuel reserves at those airfields, although there were videos that did not confirmed, but were also in the video in... our impression of the planes that were standing at the airfields, the only thing that we do not yet have official confirmation is that this is one of these four airfields, one of them, like an owl, is the one that raises migs and... and all of ukraine

in has an alarm, and the others are mainly the aviation that attacks both front-line areas and cities in the north and east. to what extent is this strike now going to slow down, in particular, the use of that aviation, if, for example, the supplies at that airport are affected, we understand that this is specific to the aircraft is fuel, especially those that operate with... daggers, they say there, even different fuel than for other planes, how much does it slow down? certainly, well, slowly, as time will tell, but what it affects in terms of destroying the enemy's potential in axial support of its troops, this is clear, here it is necessary to note, note the massiveness of the application, this is, first of all, it speaks of the scaling

in... the detection of drones, strike drones and barrage ammunition, this is a military term shahediv, that's how shahediv unmanned devices, like shahediv, well, in addition, it must be emphasized, that in addition to the actions that have already taken place on the airfield, on airplanes, on infrastructure, it is important that of them... and the personnel for both infrastructure and ground facilities, and very importantly pilots. on the previous ones and this one, as well as the savesleyka, and some airfields where pilots were trained for the su-57, and there are not so many of them, there are a dozen or so, the russians position it as elite, like the fifth generation, although in terms of characteristics it does not reach, say , to such levels

, this is very important, because training pilots of this level is expensive and takes time, separately history, i also agree with you about the mig-31k, because it is a high-altitude aircraft, a high-speed aircraft, and therefore needs fuel specific to it, and if you destroy... tanks with this fuel, then there will be a need to search for them, redeploy them to other airfields that are not adapted, and there to equip such an airfield accordingly, to bring this specific fuel there, and thus there will be delays in the use of the mig-31, which annoys ukraine because during the use of daggers, and we remember... that

this is a modernized iskanderov missile, which is adapted to be launched under this mig-31, and this , in turn, is done in order to add to the speed of the missile before use, the speed of the aircraft, and thus make the work of anti-aircraft missile systems even more difficult on this kind of targets, uh, so we see that there is a complex influence here. throughout the airfield leads to a complex impact on the enemy's ability to provide air support to its forces. and that's a lot. ihor romanenko, general, deputy chief of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine was in contact with us in the 6th-10th years. it's almost 9 o'clock, which means that a minute of silence will be heard throughout the country. we remember all those

who died in the war. russia's brutal war against ukraine. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.
