and as we can see, every day this area is growing, therefore, in order to stabilize the line of combat and carry out a counterattack, more and more is needed every day, there is a correlation of the forces and means necessary for this, and therefore at some point it will be more than 50,000, if they do not stop the expansion of the neutralization line, as we see in the glushkovsky district, it is unlikely that they will succeed, because... in the near future , the lushkovsky district will fall precisely into the zone of control of the defense forces of ukraine, so the question of at least stabilizing the line battle for the russian command, it is , well, to put it mildly, not that hard, there, it is a stalemate, because it can be stabilized only by pulling this resource, a huge resource from other directions in the combat zone, and they are not ready for this, but they want to keep advancing. especially in the pokrovsky direction

in the turetsk district, in the kramatorsk direction, and what they have recently sent to the kursk region, and it will not be able to stabilize the situation in any way, for thinking about the future, and we see that and the western media write about it there, which is not so much in the kremlin respond promptly to such deadlocked situations, and now what can happen in russian over there? to the political-military leadership, what is the plan of action, that is, from what is seen now on the front in donetsk region, they are more interested in that aspect of the front, they are more interested in occupying their positions there than in taking control of their own territories, i think they are willing to lose part their territories for the sake of gains precisely in the war zone in ukraine, and they somehow don't... to

come to terms with this, they partly go to such restrictions, they have limited resources, therefore they have limited actions, and they choose either to continue the offensive, for example, in the turkish-pokrov direction and capture turetsk and pokrovsk in 2024, and then somehow there in 2025, postpone the counterattack on those territories that will be at that time... under control of the defense forces of ukraine, or they will partially withdraw units little by little in order to at least slow down the advance of the defense forces of ukraine, but not to stop them at all, and therefore, in principle, the decision is the same, which is what i am saying, that it is kind of a stalemate. mr. alexander, we we see that the russian troops have reached pokrovsk, in your opinion, will they be able to reach it? this goal and how much

time can it take? well, now they are already fighting for grodivka, the next one will be novagrodivka, this is the main line to pokrovsk and mirnograd, if they manage to capture grodivka and novogrodivka, then in fact offensive actions can begin directly on pokrovsk and well, assault. actions, i mean, and myrnograd, it can already happen in the fall. and very briefly , finally, the washington post wrote about what there were several attempts at negotiations between the ukrainian-russian side there through mediators, this is a grain agreement, and here in qatar there were supposed to be negotiations about energy security, about failures on energy facilities, and because of the offensive in kurshchyna, these negotiations were canceled. do you currently see any opportunity for e at this stage of the war? russian-ukrainian or

ukrainian-russian negotiations together with mediators? as of today, no, only for one topic, this is the topic of prisoners, it is entirely possible, and at the same time taking into account no matter how many russian conscripts we have captured in the last two weeks, ukraine has all the trump cards. thank you for joining, for your analysis, oleksandr kovalenko, a military observer of the information resistance group, was a guest. freedom of the mornings. ukraine is trying to find a balance between seizing territories in the kursk region and losing its own territory in donetsk region. the british newspaper the guardian writes about it. the publication compares the pace of territory capture. so, according to the words of the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces , oleksandr syrskyi, the ukrainian army at advancing in the kurdish direction at a speed of more than 3 km per day. then, as the russian troops near pokrovsk are advancing at an average speed. almost 5 km to go.

the publication also cites the thesis of hanna sheles, a senior researcher at the european policy analysis cooperation, who says that, i quote: russia... has not moved enough forces from the eastern flank, as hoped. in addition, gardyan writes that some ukrainian military personnel criticize the attack on kurtsk region against the background of the difficult situation in donbas, saying that the operation in kurtsk region distracts professional soldiers from the pokrovsky direction, and if it really distracts some russian troops, it only transfers the problem of numbers from one place to another. this is how the guardian quotes an infantryman named oleksiy. indicating his brigade or surname. the russian military command has relocated about 5,000 servicemen from the combat zone in ukraine to the kursk region, but this is not enough , writes the wall street journal with reference to its own sources. journalists note that the russian army has transferred to

the territory of the kursk region, one brigade from the donetsk region, where the russian army is conducting an active offensive. other soldiers were allegedly transferred from areas of the front less important for russia. ivan sekach, head of the public relations service of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after general horujny mark bezruchka, also says that the operation of the armed forces of ukraine in kursk region has brought relief to the ukrainian military in donetsk region, in particular in the pokrovsk region. according to him , the russian the army does not want to leave this direction and lose its initiative and continues to storm in large numbers. the press officer says that the defense forces of ukraine have ammunition in this direction. enough, but more of them are needed, he claims, referring to the soldiers from his brigade, that he can confirm that at least one unit of drone operators of the russian army went to kurshchyna, but this, he says, did not make it any easier. and the analysts of the american institute

for the study of war in their own report dated august 15 note that russian troops maintain a relatively high pace of offensive in donetsk region, and this, according to analysts, demonstrates that the military command'. russia continues to prioritize advancing into eastern ukraine, even as ukraine puts pressure on russian forces in the kursk region. our broadcast was joined by mykola koval, press officer of the 14th brigade of chervona kalina state university, lieutenant colonel. thanks for joining, good morning. do you confirm that the kursk operation does not affect the forces and means that the russian federation uses in the pokrovsky direction today. yes, ska, i will honestly say that frankly they are not going to from this direction to withdraw and transfer your troops, the pokrovsky direction continues to be hotter, due to the fact that the enemy's manpower, it constantly conducts assaults, and

despite the loss, despite the fact that we do everything to ensure that the enemy does not advance and does not, did not break through the line of defense on... that anyway the enemy is very, very many and he keeps climbing and climbing. and thanks to what the russian forces manage to advance at such a pace, are they possibly increasing the number of their troops there in recent weeks, well, the forces and means they use for this direction? well, they just have a lot, they have an advantage in that a large number of personnel are involved, an advantage in the number of people, in manpower, er, you understand. hold, if shooting battles are going on non-stop around the clock, and despite the fact that we destroyed the first group, for example, 20 people entered there, the first group was destroyed, a second group can immediately follow it, a third can immediately follow it, and so on with these waves they

constantly storm, and when it comes to ours, for example, infantrymen. the boys destroy them, and they immediately come after them, come, come regularly, trained, highly equipped fighters, and in this way they can already detect our positions, because we gave a fight, and again there is already a fight with more trained fighters, and so and so . i wanted to ask you if there are rotations in the russian army, but it turns out that they have this fresh new force, it is constantly engaged, and because they send people, well, in fact, their soldiers to death in this way, and non-stop, like you say, yes, yes, yes,

unfortunately, yes, a month ago, you said about repelling 15-20 assaults by your brigade on day, has this number changed now? she will say that sometimes it changes, well, it may be a few less, well, not 20, but 10 may be assaults per day, but... these are isolated cases, if we are honest and after analyzing the situation, then 20 assaults per day, that is here it is normal, this is the minimum, and despite the fact that it is from the support of artillery, mortars and pavilions, please tell me, mykola, taking into account the last few months there, well , what in comparison and whether they changed the tempo of the russian forces in any way ? somewhere increased, maybe, somewhere possible were decreasing, or now in this period of time,

what can we say, are they going at the same pace at which they were going all this time, or are they somehow, well, they are changing, somewhere they are slowing down, somewhere maybe they are speeding up, well, they are tactics are used in different ways, and like us, we adapt to the terrain that exists... it is a wooded area, and it is the area between the houses in the villages, that is, the battles take place both in and in different cities, , that is, i will say that if, for example, there is a group of 20 people, that there are 20 men going in one direction at once, and there are, for example, more trained fighters, they disperse on the flanks, scatter, and it is already more difficult to detect them, more difficult to destroy them. then they use different tactics, if we talk about some paces

that may be connected, i don't know, with weather conditions, with the season, whether the russian forces intend to do it faster because of some weather conditions there, or because they are not want to lose the initiative, here it is probably most likely that they do not want to lose the initiative, and they despite the loss, despite everything, they are trying to reach... their goal there to pokrovsk or to mornograd and take control of the road that can and does lead to konstantinovka, the initiative is currently due to the large number of personnel, but it is also ends in them, that's why we do everything for this, we do everything for this, so that the enemy cannot reach his goal. mykola, we quoted western publications, and there is an anonymous person... the military told, well, criticized the kurdish operation in essence, that the forces that are involved there can

would be to use it in donetsk region and oppose the army of the russian federation in this way, in your opinion, if you can share it, your opinion, the opinion of your brothers, and should it be used there to open a new direction, or after all to strengthen the direction in which you are fighting now, i would say that it is a false idea that you opened that front, and hoping that they would take them there from the pokrovsky direction, that is not what it was done for, i think so, so let the guys do their work and replenish the exchange fund, and we are doing our work, and only time will tell, because we are now here doing our work, they are there with their work, it is simply never done like that, and we are currently in the pokrovsky direction not... switching off in another direction, without thinking about what will happen in the kursk region, because it is the hottest, and

we must do our work here and the tasks that are before us. at the beginning of the program, we quoted iryna voreshchuk, she called on the residents of pokrovsk, mornograd and selidovoy to leave, evacuate, in your opinion, whether it is necessary to do this and at what time terms? well, people are gradually being evacuated from pokrovsk, from mornograd and from other villages near the front line. well, this is for the safety of life, because a lot of kabibs are flying to pokrovsky and other cities, and the enemy is constantly hitting peaceful cities, civilians, and therefore for the sake of safety and life, it is better to evacuate, well, the local authorities say that , that there is time until the end of the month approximately, then it will be worse, do you agree with such assessments, well, repetition. the situation can change every minute, maybe tomorrow

for the better, in a better age, or maybe, maybe for the worse, but you still have to believe in us and hope, because we, we do everything for this, i thank you, thank you mykola, for joining, mykola koval, professional officer 14- brigade of nsu, chervona kalina, lieutenant colonel, and we talked about the situation, the situation in the pokrovsky direction. thank you. thank you to all our viewers for being with us, for supporting us with your likes, sharing this video from the radio liberty channel, and writing comments, sharing your thoughts, it is necessary, we need it. hear what you think you, also write your suggestions regarding important topical topics for ukrainian society today, which should be discussed on our broadcasts, my name is kateryna nekrecha, i and the whole team of freedom of mornings, we wish you a peaceful day and see you tomorrow,

this money is for a good cause, for a cause for three brigades, the third separate assault 100". 47th for the rebs and for the drones, this is exactly what we are collecting for, this is what helps our troops destroy moskal and what saves the lives of our soldiers, and in fact, dear friends, you and i have already started the collection of the second million of 3x5, which we want to collect, and the first hundred, even from this, the second million is about to come, if we are about to collect 30,000. already with us nataliya pipa, people's deputy of ukraine, joins in, ms. natalya, we congratulate you, good day, glory to ukraine, heroes, glory, ms. natalya, we expect this week that there will be a decisive vote in the verkhovna rada on the banning of the ukrainian orthodox church, the moscow patriarchy, its activities in ukraine. what are your expectations for that

vote, will it be possible to do it? eh, i think i will finally make it this week, hard to say what day it will be exactly, and there are still a lot of amendments, and i think that there will be resistance or attracting attention, but it will happen, i will say right away that unfortunately for me, but in general for the legal state it is right, it will unfortunately be an incomplete ban of the moscow patriarchate , and limiting the influence of the aggressor country on religious organizations. how will it happen, if in the charter of the church, the parish it is written that it is subject to the russian moscow throne, then accordingly it will have six months or a year, and this is not yet a cow. but this will be determined precisely in the hall of the verkhovna rada transition, she can choose which church she will continue to belong to, which throne, whether it will be the orthodox church of ukraine, as

the universal church, or even some parishes, i know that they are moving to the ugk, or will it be another transition, yes, because we know that there is still a separate one, where the greek throne is, so to speak, the romanian one, well, the branches are certain, so the question is where exactly they will choose the transition, and otherwise... it is possible further in the legal process, if they do not will do, do and limit, that is, this is a process, unfortunately, not on one day, it is not, it will not be such a simple decision that we immediately cut off all the tentacles of this hydra, but we will finally have a tool for this, because the sbu has even contacted us several times, criminal proceedings have been opened against a bunch of priests of the moscow patriarchate, as we we know, some have been transferred and exchanged a large number of our military prisoners, that is... this shows a lot about who exactly they are, i understand that the majority of viewers do not know who is watching us, there is no doubt that the moscow

patriarchy must be limited, but i have to to say that in the hall i was surprised until now, how difficult it was to collect those votes for the second reading, how there were people who said, i will not sign, but i will vote against, how the deputies were, i say, why don't you sign, that you, because this is not my war against the church, i am serious, but this is the church, natalia... you do not know my attitude towards the moscow patriarchate, i say no, i do not know, i do not support it, i say, then put a signature, we lack several signatures to bring it to the second reading, or i promised the best man, i say, listen, who is your best man, what did you promise him on sign, but i will vote, and explain such things, or someone says, there are a lot of people, they are believers, i say yes, they are believers, the propts and the ocu believe in you exactly the same, if these people really faith is needed, not craft... the throne, then they will understand and move, because the basis is faith, not the patriarch you worship. mrs. natalya, but what about ordinary

people, excuse me for using, this is it, this adjective, ordinary, i mean, every person is special, but i am talking about in the context that there is such a people's deputy dmytruk, a group of restorationists, who recently uttered all kinds of nonsense. of our military, and about what is happening in the kursk region, he spread pro-russian narratives, he, here is this deputy , and in addition to all that, he is known for such pro-moscow-patriarchal views and not only views, but it turned out that this person literally a month ago, she became a subdeacon of the uoc mp. and what's more, he expressed at the same time. gratitude to the head of the ukrainian orthodox church onufry and metropolitan agafangel of odessa, a also to everyone who took part in this joyous celebration. this is how he described his ordination,

typodiacon or hyperdeacon, how did you hear? ipo, ipo, but it's clear. not to be confused with hippotherapy. sure, sure. okay. well, it would be fun, and it sounds fun, if it wasn't actually so sad. dmytruk has not appeared in the verkhovna rada for a very long time, i will say right away, unfortunately, there were people... who elected him, and this is the biggest problem, and i think that the sbu should finally deal with dmytruk, we should adopt a law on collaborationism and this is to say, and i think that the voted bill will be another help to arrest dmytrouk for co-operationism and for his statements, i think that he is trying to occupy the niche of the kiva, and accordingly, i think that if he nods, he is already nodding at the cemetery. well, i don't know if it will go all the way to the cemetery, but to be a laughing stock among the people who elected him, he is just successfully coping with it, and accordingly, i think that the sbu

will finally deal with dmytruk, we also remember as he ran around in the odesa regional administration, as far as i remember tables, when there was some question about the landowners, he was a military man, well, that is, he already had a lot of all kinds of things accumulated. i think, well, we will discuss it with other people's deputies and maybe even make a collective appeal on it, because someone who is precisely in the field of this, who knows what evidence is needed for collaborationism, to collect and submit, and this should affect the prosecution him to responsibility, because i say in the verkhovna rada, i don't remember him for a very, very long time, that is, he does not even fulfill his direct duties, although it may be good in in the event that this person is not in the walls... there will be a meeting of the verkhovna rada, and if this issue is not on the agenda first, what will be the actions of you, your colleagues in

the position? we disagreed with the fact that we are not you, that we immediately start by blocking the tribune, if this issue is not brought up for consideration, and we did not give up on these intentions, we tried to convince, in particular, the head of the largest faction , david arahamiya, that let us show unity and vote first the laws that the president presents, they are very important, and then we let's go to the second reading of the moscow patriarchate, he says, you are still ridiculous, we are ready to come sooner for a few days and consider all the amendments as long as they are needed, but we will not, we told you... that you will not leave the rostrum of the verkhovna rada until it will not be put normally, so today it is expected to be on the first agenda of the meeting, i think it will last a long time, because i think that it will be opzzh the former to put corrections for confirmation, for inclusion, but well, in any case, even if necessary will vote at night and consider these amendments, then the opposition and those deputies, and we see that many are from the monomajority who joined

and... i do not want to mention here the head of the committee nikita potoraev, without whom it would be impossible to adopt either the first or the second reading in the committee, if he blocked this issue, on the contrary, did not contribute, therefore, accordingly, well, we are determined that nothing else will be considered until the moscow patriot is voted in, we hope that it will do without the omnipresent member of the verkhovna rada, ms. natalya, i know that you have one more question worries, we have three or more there are two minutes left, so you have sent an appeal to the ministry of education and science of ukraine. and the ukrainian center for evaluating the quality of education in relation to the nmt, because there the history of ukraine is considered from the cossack state , as if it began, and what happened before that, somehow the vnt did not get into these tests, how did you notice it and what do you think you should do about it, except for the appeal, well noticed a long time ago, there was not enough time for preparation, so in fact then they did not insist and the children did

not have enough time to prepare. it's war time, but now it's the first, well, soon it will be september 1, and it's necessary to announce and return these topics, because it is key that russia's arguments that the ukrainian state did not exist, that russia is a russian state, not a ukrainian one, and when i started to research this issue from that dk encyclopedia, most of us will not be able to prove why the ukrainian state is several centuries older than the russian one, that all their narratives are invented, and that sofia of kyiv has existed for about a thousand years, and the mining monastery... even longer, that i always start, especially in america in canada, we are a very old state , but young democracy, and it works, and we need to be able to explain it, and for that we need to include a course in the nmt, of course a course before the tryplians, scythians, cimmerians, short, but the actual proof of the ukrainian state, because mykhailo hrushevskyi proved completely that we are the legal heirs of russia with the capital in the country,

the history of ukraine. and ukrainians don't know bad, no matter how old they are, they learn the history of britain somewhere there, you know, there are the norman conquests and so on, and they don't have any questions about the english, saxons, normans, vikings or vikings and so on, somehow i don't think that we should also start with the cossack era, so we will agree that there was nothing before the fair, well, i don't mean that siberia was conquered, but something else, mrs. natali , thank you very much for the conversation, nathalie pipa , people's deputy of ukraine, was with us. deputies are approaching a historic vote, when kensalti, this church of the so-called moscow patriarchate, may be somehow limited, prohibited, canceled in ukraine, and by the way, remove these same sticks on crosses, people, please, this is very shameful, very shameful, if you do not want your church to have specially trained people, then high, well, then you have to film how we dismantle the monuments to pushkin, and those crooked sticks on the crosses , which sticks

are needed. they defile and spit, bulbs, bulbs, moscow ones still appear in us, and people somehow do not see the difference, but there is a difference, dear friends, but now the news is on, kateryna shirokopoi appears, what happened there in ukraine and the world, katya , i promise you, i congratulate olasya, andriy, already in a moment i will tell you what is burning so uncontrollably in russia and whether the electricity blackout schedules will return in ukraine. news time on the espresso tv channel. kateryna shiropoyas works in the studio. the russians attacked kyiv region with drones. that night, anti-aircraft defenses destroyed all enemy targets. fragments of flames fell outside the population centers.
