4:00 am
the usa is playing, and kiev is playing, somewhere there it says: "well, we are ready for negotiations", understanding that in this format, in which moscow puts forward preconditions, and putin put forward his three important preconditions before the summit in switzerland, which he, as he believes, should be implemented regardless of the start of negotiations, the lifting of sanctions, the non-aligned status of ukraine and the liberation of the unoccupied territories of four regions, donetsk, luhansk, zaporizhzhya and kherson. these are unacceptable preconditions. moscow theoretically. may these conditions not be put forward somehow, to enter the negotiation process without these preconditions, which is what moscow requires, it needs a ceasefire, it needs preambles for a ceasefire, because it is different, it is not just a ceasefire, a ceasefire always has guarantors, the parties can cease fire, but but the guarantors should facilitate a truce, at least a temporary one, then negotiate directly about the details of some agreements, agreements, etc. currently, i do not see any conditions for solving this problem. kyiv and
4:01 am
moscow cannot simply meet somewhere without intermediaries, and such the mediator is not ready, there is no one in the usa, and erdogan has already lost his position as a mediator whom kyiv trusts. first of all, the usa and the west do not see erdogan as such an effective mediator. since he would get too close to moscow, we can see that, so erdogan's platform can hardly be effective. with regard to china, it is more tempting, because china has an important trump card, not with moscow, ... to influence it and to bring it into negotiations, to force it to participate, this is a format that china itself will approve, but it faces the problem of the us, are not going to give china such trump cards. they do not want china to act in this conflict on the territory of europe as a peacemaker, mediator, guarantor, someone else there, having strengthened its international authority, like, now china decides when to start and stop wars, the usa will never agree to this. and even
4:02 am
the current biden administration, following obama, continues to call china not a superpower, but a regional power in southwest asia, and moreover, does not recognize his claim that it is not some binary world, bipolar, in which there is washington and beijing, therefore, the usa will not agree to this, in my opinion, there is a very high probability of starting negotiations precisely from the meeting, if trump wins, trump and putin. if trump does not win, then it is very likely that some quadrilateral will be formed. usa, china, russia, ukraine. such a quadrilateral may arise if kamala harris comes to power and trump loses the election. then yes, this configuration has better chances, but it cannot happen before spring . well, but in any case, mark, we understand that putin announced the conditions for a reason which are unacceptable by definition. yes, and no matter how you treat putin. well, he is not
4:03 am
a clinical idiot, and he is quite experienced in that, that is, he could not voice certain parameters, in particular, when we are talking about the annexation of the not yet captured ukrainian territories, and considering the aviation, the f-16 component, we understand that putin's plan , well, even for his generals, it is unrealistic, but he went for it, and here we can assume that certain environments are possible, i do not know what mandate abramovich had for istanbul, so... where he represented someone, well, accordingly, in this way, putin wants to cut off some alternative to his position, ideas, respectively, pompeo’s plan, we understand that this is good, but there is also no stamp on this plan, the name of president donald trump, because it is not a fact that he will become the president, and always in any case trump can say, well, it's pompeo's fantasies, he's a cool dude, i respect him, we drank 4 liters of whiskey, but it's... not my idea,
4:04 am
and accordingly, here we are may also be in for nasty surprises, yes, because trump, the guy is also experienced, but his experience, well it is not a fact that he will benefit us. as for pompeo, we promised to talk about it, yes, it is quite an effective plan, there is one caveat that can be very painful for ukrainian public opinion, that ukraine may lose part of the territory, i mean the plan that was printed by the wall street journal. as for the rest, this is a perfect plan from the point of view of ukraine's sovereignty, it's nato membership and the rest of the things that are repeated, like boris johnson's plan, which we also saw in the daily mail the day before. yes, to give up some part territory, but what exactly, four regions plus crimea, or only a part of these four regions, this is a question of the negotiating position that pompeo hints will be trump's negotiating position, namely on these parts. the trouble is that just the first part. the plan for
4:05 am
the absolute sovereignty of ukraine is unacceptable for moscow, these plans of both johnson and pompeo are unacceptable for moscow, they may be acceptable for trump, but moscow will never agree to a change of position. yes, presumably, in these three preliminary conditions that putin mentioned before the summit in switzerland, provoking the summit in switzerland to some sharp reactions, there are conditions for the withdrawal of units of the armed forces from the unoccupied parts of the territories of the four regions, but maybe he can give in to this, here they can move the administrative border, maybe. the condition of lifting the sanctions is important for moscow, because the sanctions are painful, painful, but still , they are sanctions imposed by third countries. ukrainian sanctions are not. the most principled for moscow, but the american, european, australian, canadian, japanese, and other countries, it is necessary for them to make this request, why kyiv, if it declares an agreement according to the previous conditions, should take care that these sanctions are canceled, these are sanctions of third countries, but regarding the non-aligned status,
4:06 am
i.e. the prevention of nato accession of ukraine, here moscow will never retreat, but on the ground, on the ground, as they are going to leave, so to speak . for the return of the territory, so we also understand that this is a symbolic story, well , because putin, with him, they voiced it for a reason and, so to speak, made changes to the russian constitution, as well as with the non-aligned nato status or membership, well, we understand moscow's position, that's all the fable about the indivisibility of security and so on on the continent, but the story is about the territories that must be returned, how they could sell them, or they could not, and they just. .. they will stand on that. indeed, the constitution of the russian federation, which included these new subjects in its composition, provides, including the laws that will follow from it, that it is impossible to change the territorial integrity of russia, as a criminal article, even for a call, i ulmi
4:07 am
umerov was defended in crimea under this article. in general, in no way can we talk about the rejection of the territory of the russian federation, if they included them in their constitution, seized them. included, yes, already occupied and included, on the other hand, the russian constitution is chewed paper in the toilet, no one will pay attention to the constitution, it's just that apart from the constitution , putin's plans are even more ambitious, he wants the whole of ukraine, not just four regions, and here he leaves a maneuver for himself, i suppose that he can move somewhere, say that we we keep the occupied territories for ourselves, this is a negotiating position, but we are ready to bargain for the unoccupied part, what do we want? offer, but what does he offer? i wonder what he offers in exchange for all this, but in fact he only offers that they will not attack kyiv. and try to attack kyiv, especially after receiving these planes by ukraine, according to bloomberg, yesterday, 20, possibly the first batch of planes, no one knows
4:08 am
how many, not to mention the rest. you first capture that kyiv, of course, if the troops were stationed near kyiv, there would be other negotiations, but there is no such thing. how to determine this military balance, which... gives preference to one or the other side, is it such that when the war continues, ukraine will definitely lose it, or on the contrary, ukraine will resist? moscow will definitely lack the strength to hold the occupied territories, whether it is able to accumulate resources to reach the regional centers, kharkiv, odesa and others, no one knows the answers, there is a military balance, and in conditions of military balance the conditions must be mutually acceptable, not such as are imposed by one party trying to do moscow also uses... other methods to push its position, because they cannot achieve this by military means , if they could achieve this, they would have already reached and stood in kyiv, but this cannot be achieved, so there is a great deal going on here game: who will increase the number of allies of their position, who will exhaust their opportunities faster
4:09 am
, etc., in particular, the information game, all these ipso that are being tested, they are also in order to undermine unity, monolithicity, confidence in their own strength and not only ukraine. and from the west, voices are already being heard, now is a favorable position, it is time to arrange negotiations, the finnish president declares this, others also, because, of course, the war is depleting the resources of europe, in particular, especially since everyone is in an exhausting wait for the results of the elections in america, europe is afraid of the arrival of trump, the main powers, france, germany and others are afraid of this, because they have a negative experience of interaction with trump during his presidency, from 2016 to the 20th year. in this situation. there is no other recipe, no other way than to do what you do to continue to fight, not to accept unacceptable conditions, to hold on until the moment when the situation does not improve in the right direction. if ukraine now retreats and agrees to some of putin's conditions, then it will be very difficult
4:10 am
to play back, he will seize on this and say: "you yourself agreed, you yourself are ready to sacrifice something, accordingly, this is a trap, and the kremlin wants to drive you into this trap ukraine". the territorial issue is not as important for the kremlin as the issue of ukraine's sovereignty, which involves the possibility of non-aligned status in nato and other alliances. european type and others. the main question is what ukraine will be like, how the 80% of the territory controlled by official kyiv will emerge from this war, or will they emerge with a neutral status that can be undermined by another new war, because no one covers you outside of nato. the network of agreements on guarantees that kyiv is currently signing for the post-war period may not work, but membership in nato will. we have already seen this, the baltic countries are an example of this status working, and this is the most fundamental issue. and it is not decided thank you very much, mark, for this extremely important conversation on
4:11 am
espresso tv. take care, god help you. i want to remind our tv viewers that mark feigin, a member of the russian opposition, not emigration, a former deputy of the state duma, who was sentenced to 13 years in prison for anti-kremlin agitation, was working for them. thanks mark. thank you. well, the time of our program is over, stay with the espresso tv channel. my colleagues will inform you about all the most important events of this days take care of yourself and your loved ones, see you on the air. great return of great lviv. conversations, discussions, search for solutions. the biggest talker. format of ukraine in the evening prime. in general, i believe that we need two things: money and weapons. we

congratulations, the real front program is on the air, and i, taras berezovyts, am with you. today in our program. the offensive of ukrainian troops on the territory of kursk. region became a complete surprise for the kremlin. world reaction to loss of original territories by russia. american senators called on the white house to lift restrictions on ukraine's use of american weapons. the ratings of the candidate kamala garis are increasing. also, the situation in the middle east is worsening.
4:14 am
the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces, colonel-general oleksandr syrskyi informed the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, that 74 settlements in the kursk region of russia are currently under the full control of the armed forces of ukraine. the army is working, we continue to move in kursk region. glory to ukraine, general syrskyi wrote. in his telegram channels. let me remind you that on august 6 , the offensive of ukrainian troops on the territory of the kursk region of the russian federation began. and already on august 12, at the supreme commander-in-chief's position, chief oleksandr syrsky reported to the president that the armed forces of ukraine control 44 settlements and about 100 km of russian territory. in response to the president. of ukraine thanked all ukrainian soldiers and commanders for their steadfastness and determination in defending the country.
4:15 am
more details about the situation at the front, further in our story. zsu controls 1150 km in kursk region of the russian federation. at the beginning of the operation, our military advanced 35 km to the enemy's defenses and freed 82 inhabitants. points in the liberated territories of kurshchyna , a military commandant's office has already been established, with major general moskalyov appointed as its head. oleksandr syrskyi informed the president of ukraine about this on august 15 during regular meeting of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. the russian command is currently forced to transfer units to the kurdish region not from the deep rear, but from the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine, where hostilities are taking place, - says military expert oleksandr kovalenko. so far, they are transferring units in small batches, a small number of units from each bridgehead, from
4:16 am
each direction, the kharkiv direction, the kupinsky direction, and from the pokrovsky direction, again siversky. as well as from the composition of the dnipro and east troops group, i.e. a small number of battalions there, two battalions, for example, the west troops group sent two battalions from the kupyan direction to reinforce the kurzh kozh group, but this is not enough, this will is not enough, and one way or another they will be forced to send even more resources, so they will have to choose which of the directions, which... it is the bridgehead that they will weaken more, i think that it will still be the dnipro group of troops, since it is quantitatively one of the largest currently in the combat zone, among the entire group of russian occupation forces, and this will affect their capabilities, in this case, to control the left bank of the kherson region, as well as to conduct an operation in the south, this is a robotic performance and their plans
4:17 am
to open the orihiv direction in general. russians are surrendering en masse to the armed forces - according to information from the british edition of the independent, the number of russian military prisoners in the kursk region may reach more than 200, and these are mainly conscripts, who will be tried to be exchanged in the first place, and this is very good for us, because in polon, on the territory of the russian federation, there are still many ukrainians, both military and civilian, says oleksandr kovalenko. in addition, the zsu operation has other positive aspects. many moments, starting from the buffer zone, continuing with the exchange of prisoners and ending on... even with the fact that it was cut, by the way, one of the rock railways through suja, which was used all this time to improve, well, shorter, more efficient logistics, the transportation of logistics and personnel, is now working there only the railway to kursk, and then, and then everything by road, and this is not the best option for
4:18 am
logistics, that is, in principle, there are many such options, starting from the exchange of territories, the exchange of prisoners and ending even with situational moments related to logistics despite the successes of the armed forces of ukraine in the kurdish region, the situation in the east and south of ukraine remains difficult, but under control. a defensive operation is underway. the main efforts are focused on preventing the enemy from advancing in the direction of toretsk and pokrovsk, the commander-in-chief said. oleksandr kovalenko says that the russian federation was forced to reduce the intensity of hostilities in some areas. but it is too early to relax, it will become easier only when the war is over, but we can say that the russians had problems first of all kharkiv region, in the north of kharkiv region, because they have taken the largest number of units from the belgorod group, they are regrouping there in connection with this, they are regrouping, and i think that in the near
4:19 am
future we will be able to see a weakening of their positions in the area of the village of hlyboke and... vovchansky, in general, it is still too early to say that it has become easier, there has been a decrease in some intensity, yes, there are such trends in some directions, although we must understand the turkish-pokrov direction, they generally will not reduce the intensity of hostilities, it is a priority for them, they can reduce the intensity of hostilities there only in one case, when ukrainian troops will be stationed near moscow, in the kul region, in tamsk, belgorod, voronezh, if they are there ukrainian troops, they are like that, the main thing for them is to capture pokrovsk and turetsk, on the other hand, in other directions there will be a decrease, but later, again, now they are taking small batches from each direction, but this will increase the number and after some time, in a week, two weeks,
4:20 am
it will start to affect more, well, let's say, not more globally, but significantly, so that we have the opportunity... not only to strengthen our defense capabilities, even to come in some directions. the reaction of the world to the military operation of the ukrainian armed forces in the kursk region of russia turned out to be indicative. thus, the spokesman of the european commission on foreign policy issues, peter stano , stated that ukraine has the right to self-defense, including strikes on russian territory. the pentagon has its own. in turn explained that the advancement of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region is consistent with the policy of the united states. and the official beijing reported that carefully. and called on all parties to de-escalate the conflict, as the russian-ukrainian war is called in china. more details about the statement of world leaders, further in our story.
4:21 am
the operation of the armed forces of ukraine on the territory of the russian federation in the kursk region, which began on august 6 and is still ongoing, was unexpected not only for the leadership of the russian federation, but also for western partners. it's almost. ukrainian offensive on the territory occupiers since the beginning of the war. the armed forces of ukraine continue to advance in kursk oblast every day, capturing new settlements, capturing enemies and capturing their equipment. putin is visibly nervous during the meeting on the situation in kursk region, he said that everything is clear to him now. ukraine allegedly invaded the kurdish region of russia in order to improve its negotiating position, so now moscow has no desire to negotiate with kyiv. the zsu is monitoring the operation. western partners. in particular, the pentagon said that the actions of ukraine in the kursk region are appropriate us policy regarding the use of the provided weapons. also, the spokesman
4:22 am
of the us state department, matthieu miller, said during the briefing that the us had not received any warnings from ukraine about such attacks. however, there is nothing unusual in this. this is the war they are waging. we give them tools and advise them, but when it comes to the day-to-day. tactics, when it comes to day-to-day strikes, sometimes we talk to them, sometimes we don't, and it's up to them to make their own decisions. and us president joe biden said that the corresponding military actions put the russian dictator putin is faced with a real dilemma. i 've been talking to my team regularly, maybe every four to five hours for the last six to eight days, and it's creating a real dilemma for putin. the head of the defense committee of the bundestag, markus faber , said on the x social network that before the fire is intensified by any side. russia's ally, the self-proclaimed president of belarus
4:23 am
, lukashenko, said on august 10 that he did not understand why ukraine entered the kurt region and that it was necessary to find out, but any provocations would not go unanswered. it's unpleasant that the ukrainians, as i have warned you many times, are showing by this. that they are not ready for any peace and continue to escalate this tension. two days ago, an attack on the kurdish direction, where they advanced several tens of kilometers, 30-35 are already entrenched there today, well, this is a provocation aimed at striking the russian federation. i would not like to deal with these issues in such a hurry today, but you will not get anywhere. as bel novosti reports, citing a source in the belarusian ministry of defense, lukashenko... issued an order to transfer to russia equipment from active belarusian units, due to the lack of resources of the armed forces of the russian federation, both in the kurdish region and in other directions.
4:24 am
the special operation of the armed forces of ukraine on the territory of the kurdish region has already demonstrated to the whole world that the russian armed forces cannot even properly protect their territories, it is difficult for them to cope with the situation that has developed in their region. moscow is forced to turn to its allies for help. the russian federation and several other countries of the former soviet union in ... are included in the organization collective security agreement, but they do not have powerful armies that would be able to support russia. such an opinion was expressed by ex-kgb employee serhiy zhernov for channel 24. the csto was created not so that the student countries would help each other, but so that russia could occupy any of them on a basis that was beneficial to it. then it has its armed forces numbering 1.3 million soldiers. employees will be captured by any country from the csto, for example, belarus. oleksandr lukashenko in order not to join in the war, actually concluded a separate armistice with ukraine. from the fall of 2022,
4:25 am
nothing will fly from belarus to ukrainian territory. he is not interested in opening a second front, although vladimir putin wants it. lukashenko realizes that if she joins putin in the war against ukraine, she gets permission to use all the western means at her disposal to eliminate her. belarusian group, that is why he does not want to join the war against ukraine. on august 12, during an official visit to kyiv, united states senators from both parties, republican lynsey graham and democrat richard blumenthal praised the success of the kursk oblast armed forces, and also appealed to the administration of president joe biden. remove restrictions on the use of american weapons provided to ukraine. according to the prime minister of ukraine denys shmyhal, at the meeting of ukrainian and
4:26 am
american government officials. senators, among other things, discussed the confiscation of frozen russian assets and american investments in the ukrainian defense industry. about the results of this important visit, see below our plot. a bipartisan delegation from the usa , lynsey graham from the republican party and richard blumenthal from the democratic party , visited kyiv on august 12. first the senators. met with president volodymyr zelenskyi and discussed what is specifically needed to end this war justly, including our need to use long-range weapons, the office of the president of ukraine reported. during the conversation, richard blumenthal noted that they had come to once again convey the message about the importance of transferring military aid, and also added that a new bill is being proposed in the us. we are also proposing a new
4:27 am
law. the bill, which will be called help ukraine, and it will enshrine bipartisan preparation, and we would like it to be enshrined at the level of law, and not only at the level of the president's own decision. republican lynsey graham expressed hope that ukraine receives more help from congress this year and said he was glad that ukraine did not warn about its attack on the territory of the russian federation. you continue to stand on your positions, and you also entered russia, we are proud of your leadership, and you are demonstrating many things that i have never seen, they said that kyiv would fall in 3 days, well , you see how they turned around, then they were all wrong, and after only months your people are suffering, there are sustainability, but already in
4:28 am
russian territory, that's... bold and wonderful, i 'm glad you didn't tell us about it, didn't warn us, instead you did it, and now the russians are already paying the price, so it's right. later, at a briefing after the meeting of politicians, us senators commented and expressed support for the operation of the armed forces of ukraine in the korsk region, broadcast by radio svoboda. what do i think about kursk, bold, brilliant, beautiful, keep it up? putin started it. kick his ass, let these people fight, give them the weapons they need to win a war they can't afford to lose, as for the f-16, it's all too long, they're already in ukraine, so give them a chance to use them, let's to train ukrainian pilots. today is a day of hope, more hope than i have seen during all my trips here, a breakthrough
4:29 am
in the direction of kursk istorich. it is seismic breakthrough, this is good, big news that promises more potential breakthroughs, but the main news is that ukraine is in russia, it is taking the fight to russian territory. we want to send a message to the administration that it must give ukraine more flexibility and ability to use the weapons that have been provided to strike deeper than the front lines that currently exist. there are certain restrictions and permission issues, we hope to eliminate them. there is an extension of powers. extremely important from the point of view of tactics and ultimately strategies. it also became known that the delegation of the us congress, jimmy panetta, donald norcross and celeste maloy visited one of the leading enterprises of the national association of defense industry enterprises of ukraine. this was announced by its head, serhii pashynskyi. during the visit, further practical cooperation in the defense-industrial sphere was discussed.
