modi came to kyiv today for the first time in 30 years of modi's independence, the prime minister of, let's say, india came to kyiv, brought a peace plan, modi himself, after meeting with zelensky, said that a month ago he met with the head of the kremlin vladimir putin and tried to convince him to stop the war. let's hear what modi said. a month ago... i visited russia and met with putin, i told him clearly that problems are not solved on the battlefield. the only way to resolve the conflict is through dialogue and diplomacy, and therefore it should not be wasted time, it is necessary to move in the direction of negotiations. mr. oleksiyu, on rendramodo he talks about peace, about what peace should be, obviously he talked about it in more detail to zelenskyi, but well... considering the fact that he first visited

putin, and then came to kyiv, and putin's position is clear, this is a plan, his peace plan, this is a plan for the surrender of ukraine, what kind of plan can the indian prime minister's plan be? i don't know, i don't want to speculate here , and unfortunately, at the moment i don't know, and frankly, until this visit the prime minister of india in terms of those... statements, results, what i see is more like, you know, an attempt by modi to balance his trip to moscow, to balance it with coming to kyiv, in any case it's good, so what, cmody is one of the key world leaders, india is today the number one country in terms of population in the world, a member of the big twenty in terms of economic potential, and of course... india is a very large trading

partner of russia, and trade with china, india, with these countries, first of all, precisely with these two countries, and it gives russia the opportunity to continue the war and fill the budget and, therefore, to kill us, therefore, of course, cooperation with india is very necessary for us, but yes... for now, well, from the fact that i i saw, this is more of a symbolic protocol visit, i think, although maybe some things were said there that you and i do not know, some messages that were transmitted in one direction or another, although from my point of view, even if we talk about peace , then i strongly doubt that there is at least some space for peace before the end of the war. to

the conclusion, excuse me, of the elections in the united states of america, because putin does not want to talk to ukraine, not to modi, not to the european union, to someone else, putin wants to talk to the usa, there is no one to talk to in the usa yet, well, that is, we can for today to state that it was a protocol visit, even a mirror visit, because we remember that when modi was in moscow, then it was the russian federation that struck okhmadit. to the kyiv okhmadite, and this whole story, the tragic story in kyiv unfolded before the eyes of modi, who communicated with putin, and modi reproached that he met with putin at a time when the dictator was making such aggressive attacks on the ukrainian capital, to what extent is the economic factor and cooperation between russia and india, how much... is a valid argument even in

the current situation in order to force russia to enter into some negotiations with ukraine or withdraw troops from ukraine, i.e. to what extent can india influence putin? you know, the main question here is how much india wants to influence putin? india, probably india could influence putin, i think that china with... has more influence, but india also is a very important trade partner for russia, but here it must be understood that india also benefits a lot from this trade with russia, and obviously, let's be honest, let's compare two visits, modi to moscow and modi to kyiv, modi's visit to moscow, his first visit after re-election, these are always symbolic things, always the first visit is important, and he will demonstrate... it lasted,

the second, that visit, if i'm not mistaken, lasted, i think, two days, something like that, well he definitely spent the night in moscow, he did not become aware of the fashion in kyiv, and his visit lasted less days in kyiv. well, if you look at the trade between india and russia, or between india and ukraine, well, these are all incomparable things. that's why i am now, you know, i don't want to devalue this visit in any way. it is very good that it happened. we still need to start talking to india. i hope that you are certain that such basements have not been laid today, and this should be developed. the situation will be... well, life does not end tomorrow, and we need to develop relations with this very important country, it was like that in our country on the periphery of ukraine attention, and ukraine is on the periphery of india's attention, and this is wrong, but to expect something from this visit, which is now in fashion, will force putin to stop the war, i do not believe it

at all, and i do not think that this can happen. against this background, mr. oleksiyu, the kursk is unfolding. tion of the armed forces of ukraine for the third week, the ukrainian army is advancing, more than 94 settlements are controlled by the ukrainian army, 1,200, more than 200, 1,200 km of territory, at the same time we see putin's statements that the ukrainians seem to want to do something with the kursk eu, and there is a reaction. already the head of the magat, raphaela hrus, who stated in an interview with bloomberg that after visiting the kurdish as, he will go to ukraine and hopes to talk with zelenskyi. grossi also explained the danger of hostilities near this station. let's hear what grossi said. it does not have a protective

dome around the reactor, just a regular roof, which means that the reactor core is quite open. and if you add to this the fact that there are troops nearby that are advancing, objectively speaking, within the range of the artillery, then of course, this is of great concern to me and the agency. mr. oleksiy, can putin resort to provocation and use russian weapons on the kursk as in order to accuse the ukrainians of stopping the offensive of the armed forces in korshchyna in this way. putin can do anything, but i think that, at least, he does not have such a critical situation for now, if the armed forces of ukraine took control of the kursk as, then, to be honest, you could expect anything there . we are still quite far

from kurchatov, where the cs course is located, so i i don't think that there is such a risk today, and after all, they are on the territory of russia. everything is happening, so this is only some kind of extreme and i already feel that there may be an operation and a step, so i think that it is unlikely, but i repeat, you can expect absolutely everything from putin, but i think that here we need to tell us absolutely clearly the money , everyone else, you are worried, well yes, maybe you will somehow say it is russia, which invaded, which captured our... porizo ​​nuclear power plant, the largest in europe, which is bigger than kursk and so on, so i would i did not pay attention here, putin is trying to use the course of the cos in order to, well , of course, he will try to do this, as if to stop the armed forces of the armed forces with the hands of money or

the world community or something else, well, of course , we cannot go to any these, and and and we have a full moral and legal right to do. in kursk oblast, as well as in any other city, city of russia, what we consider necessary, and as far as we have enough, accordingly, forces for this, the kurdish operation, i will not evaluate it from a military point of view, i is not military, but from the point of view politically, the kursk operation is an unconditional huge success for ukraine, we once again surprised the world, we once again showed the strength of ukraine, and this is very important, in the world. only the strong are respected, everything else is all talk, and you and i are exactly that, ukraine knows this better than anyone, unfortunately for the world, that all these agreements, budapest memoranda, words, concerns and everything else, all this until the armed forces of ukraine say their word, then this is complete

emptiness, we have shown the strength of the armed forces of ukraine again, and this is very important, it is very important, of course for us, well, i will repeat myself here the military, i'm sure, know what to do, but i can't help but say it, it's very important for us not to get carried away and not to miss a moment when the cost of this will become too great for us. i want to remind us here that the enemy was near kyiv 2.5 years ago, took kherson, was near mykolaiv, was near chernihiv, but we kept our armed forces, and the enemy was pushed back from kyiv, chernihiv, mykolaiv, kherson was liberated, and so on. therefore , it is very important for us to preserve the armed forces of ukraine, and even any very cool one, and i repeat, it is very good and powerful and cool operation, at least political. i think, the military too, but it should not be

too expensive, because our human resources are limited, especially compared to our enemy, so here everything must be very, very careful, carefully calculated, well, well, but i repeat, now i believe that this is definitely a success for ukraine, and concluding this thought, you know, if in boxing terminology, in our... fight with russia, it is not a knockout, unfortunately, and it is not even a knockdown yet, but we definitely earned it serious points, points, on this, it is russia who missed a powerful blow, and this strike, which russia missed, was also seen by our western partners, the united states of america allowed ukraine to use american weapons during the operation in the kursk region, this was announced by the pentagon's deputy official representative, sabrina singh. let's hear what she

said. we are beginning to better understand what ukrainians are doing in kursk. our policy allows them to engage in such counterattacks. we support ukraine in what it needs on the battlefield through various presidential aid packages, and that will not change. you know what our policy which allows ukraine to fire back to defend itself against russian attacks it carries out through this border region. this border region includes kursk and includes sumy, so they are defending against russian attacks in that region. at the same time, sing said that washington still does not know all the goals of the ukrainian operation in the kursk region, and reminded that zelenskyi had previously said that the offensive should create a buffer zone. in addition to the buffer zone that can be created on the territory of the kursk region, what else

this kurdish operation revealed problems in the administration of russia, mr. oleksia, well, classic, let’s see, here is such a story, you know, theoretically, if it were some other country, the kurdish operation could collapse the russian government, because it is an absolute shame, 80 years have not since the 44th. year, there was no such thing as an internationally recognized russian territory being occupied by another country, well, this is a complete shame for putin, who is trying to pretend that he is not the first in the world, but the second, well, if not the second, then the third, well can you imagine that some piece of arizona was occupied or some part of china, well, it is simply impossible to imagine in principle, but with russia it turned out to be possible, all this shame... with their conscripts, whom putin told that they they will not fight, and they are fighting, they

are being taken prisoner en masse there, well, well, this is definitely another evidence that russia is an empire, but the empire is such a failed empire, colossal, really with clay feet, this is a fact, and we once again demonstrated to the world, and i repeat, in other countries it would not be enough lead to the fall of power, well, russia whom russia... concepts, and here we see that, well, so far the question does not stand, although that too, well, we simply do not know at what moment it will all fall apart, er, that , that this structure of the putin regime will collapse at some point, that is a fact, but when, like in a day, in a year, in 10 years, in 15 years, only with the death of putin, we cannot answer that question, but we have demonstrated the weakness of this system, obviously for russia as well. and for the world, and for ourselves once again, it is very important that

what is this elation, well , let's be frank, ukrainians waited for victories, and it was a very difficult year, in which we did not have such great successes, it was difficult for ukraine and our allies, so we really needed such certain successes , and today we definitely achieved it, what will happen with... tomorrow, how will the situation develop, what will happen in 3-4 weeks, this is a war, this is a very dynamic situation, it is very difficult to predict it, i repeat, at this moment russia missed a powerful blow if we can this... to at least bring it to a knockdown, well, we will try, but whether it will succeed or not is not a fact, and let's hope that we will bring russia to a knockdown when the presidential elections in the united states of america, kamala harris, will actually take place. who officially became a candidate for the presidency of the united states of america from the democrats at

a pre-election rally, said that in the event of her victory, she would resolutely support ukraine, listen. candidate for the presidential seat. trump threatened to abandon nato. he encouraged putin to invade existing countries our allies. he said that russia can, i quote: do whatever it wants. 5 days before the russian attack, i met with president zelensky to warn him about putin's invasion plan. i helped mobilize. more than 50 countries around the world to defend against russian aggression, and as president, i will stand firmly on the side of ukraine and our nato allies. mr. oleksiy, this is a serious statement by kamala garis that she will stand by ukraine and our nato allies, despite the fact that i understand that it

was a difficult conversation with zelenskyi, she mentions 5 days before the big offensive, it 's supposed to be at... probably the munich security conference, but that's exactly what we're talking about, btw, i've just seen camel arris live twice and both times at the munich security conference, so yeah well, this is definitely a good statement, especially against the background of other statements made by other american politicians, let's say so, but we can only observe here, we observers in this situation are waiting to see who will be elected by the american people in november, whoever it is elected, it is very important for us to build relations, and by the way, the elections will be very important, we talk a lot about the presidential elections, the congress and senate elections will be very important, there is also a huge intrigue, who will control the lower house, who will control the upper house, and that's all is of

great importance, therefore definitely after. the us election will be such a definite fork, this will be a moment that will determine what happens next, because whoever wins this election, us policy on this war will definitely change, because kamal harris is not joseph biden, and what those changes will be, that is , either she wins or trump, but politics will change, and how it changes, what position the united states of america will take, a lot will depend on it. because without american support, well, it will also be extremely difficult for us, this is what i say so gently, so as not to say more, so a lot depends on it, well, we will follow the progress of the presidential campaign in the united states of america, september 10, i will remind you , there's going to be a televised debate between trump and harris, and we'll see, actually

what will be the dynamics of this election and this pre-election campaign. thank you, mr. oleksiy, for the conversation, it was oleksiy goncharenko, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, we continue to work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us live on youtube and facebook, please take part in our survey. we are asking you today whether the transition of the uocmp parish to the ocu will be accelerated after the adoption of the law, meaning the law on religious organizations, adopted by the verkhovna rada of ukraine. so on... everything is quite simple: yes, no, or your separate opinion, which you leave in the comments below this video. if you watch us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote on 0800 211 381, if you think that after the adoption of the law, the transition of the parishioner of the ocp to the ocu will be accelerated, no, 0800 211 382. all calls to these numbers are

free. vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote. next, dmytro snigiru, a military man, is on the air expert, co-chairman of the public initiative right to work. mr. dmitry, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today. good evening, thank you for the invitation. well, first of all, let's talk about the situation in kurshchyna, it is not so often that the general staff reports details of how the situation is developing, what the dynamics are in the kurdish direction, but well, 93... populated areas of 1,260 km, which are controlled by the ukrainian army, as evidenced by the dynamics of the offensive of ukrainian troops on the territory. of the russian federation. the first is about the informality of the ukrainian society regarding the plans of the russian military command. i will explain what we are talking about. information was received regarding

the formation of an invasion contingent of the suju tactical group on the borders with the sumy region. accordingly , information was received regarding the further plans of the russian command regarding the direct retreat on the territory of ukraine and the repetition of the kharkiv one. scenario in order to stretch the front line and divert the operational reserves of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine to this area of ​​the front, and there was talk of withdrawing operational reserves from the most dynamic areas of the front, which is the donetsk area, so when they are currently talking about the introduction of operational reserves into the kursk region, and they are doing it with a reasonable face, i would like to note that the war has been postponed on the territory of... the occupying ukraine, and not in the sumy region, hostilities are taking place, and the ukrainian military is currently taking control of the corresponding settlements on

the territory of the russian federation, or it is not being fought near sumy, the distance from the border 30 km to sumy. this is for critics of the nature of the military operations of the defense forces of ukraine, but let's move on. what does this indicate? about the low morale and fighting spirit of the regular... armed forces of the russian federation, the so-called contract soldiers, conscripts, border guards of the fsb, etc. currently, according to western intelligence , four to six brigades of the armed forces of ukraine are concentrated on the territory of the sumy region. and here attention, and they are opposed even before entering the territory of the russian federation, nine brigades of the armed forces of the russian federation. that is to say, the defense forces of ukraine are advancing with half the number of personnel and, accordingly, have

an operational advance, 1,300 km of russian territory has been taken under control, and it is worth mentioning that according to the military statute, the advancing party should have preference in personnel in a ratio of 3:1, that is, for the nine russian brigades that are currently in defense, the defense forces of ukraine should concentrate 27 brigades, no one is talking about this, and why are they not talking, question, what is currently happening in the kursk region is the expansion along the flanks of the zone of presence, that is, the creation of a buffer zone, call it a sanitary security zone. as you like, but currently the width of this security zone is already 40 km, at the beginning

it was 10 km, this is again in accordance with the operational nature of the successes of the armed forces of ukraine, and the main thing that we have to talk about, and talk out loud, the russian side is forced at the moment withdraw their own operational reserves to create tactical groups in bryansk and belgrade for cover sections of the russian-ukrainian border, that is , these units of the regular troops of the russian army will not go to ukraine, but, accordingly, will currently perform the functions of cover forces, this is again a success of the defense forces of ukraine, and it is worth noting that at the last meeting with security forces and governors border regions, the russian dictator declared that... the governor of the bryansk region should be ready to repeat the scenario of the kurdish region, that is, if this is announced at a higher official level, then accordingly it is already

certain moods in the top military-political leadership of the russian federation, and the main thing is that we have to understand, according to the russian side, they are more realistic about the further plans of the defense forces of ukraine and... the possibility, accordingly , of the russian side to release, as they call these territory, that's what they call the period from six months to a year, the war will continue throughout this period, i emphasize once again that on the territory of the russian federation, what is currently happening in kursk oblast is positive, three main bridges have been eliminated, by which the location of units was carried out accordingly. of the armed forces of the russian federation, and in fact up to 3,000 personnel of the russian troops found themselves in an operational environment, and

the displacement. reserves, bringing in a bull, and taking out the wounded is possible only by means of pontoon crossings, or, accordingly, by non-floating means, taking into account the fact that the pontoon crossing was covered by heimer precisely from the cluster combat unit, we can say that the russians will have to cross this water, natural an obstacle, and a force the defense forces of ukraine actually received a natural line of defense... which the russians will find quite problematic, and most importantly, the constant nature of the advance of the defense forces of ukraine in the kurdish direction continues, that is worth talking about, that is, despite all the efforts of the russian side to stop the advance of the possibility there is no one more point, let's refute the information, there is no redeployment directly from the line of combat in ukraine, that is, the talk about the fact that the russians

do not seem to transfer units... divisions to the kurdish direction is not true. with the 810th brigade of the marine infantry, the city of the permanent deployment of sevastopol, was removed from the pokrovsky direction and transferred to the kurdish direction. one of the most combat-ready brigades of the so-called first army corps, the pyatnashka brigade in the kursk direction, was removed from the kurakhivsk direction from krasnohoriyka. from the kramatorsk direction since the time of yar, the first assault unit of the former pmk was withdrawn. wagner, currently a volunteer corps, under the command of ratibor, was transferred to the kurdish direction and a similar situation by a special unit of the regiment akhmat, but these are not kadyrivtsi, this is the ait special unit, which is formed from representatives of the slavic nationality, 80% of the personnel, that is, the most combat-ready units. in addition, it spills over into the power districts of the russian federation. currently, the so

-called subdivisions have already been recorded in the kurdish region. siberian divisions, fighting buryats were introduced. according to our baltic friends, the russian army is forced to redeploy units even from the kaliningrad region, and this is evidence that the operational reserves of the russian army are insufficient. and it is quite indicative the fact that in the kharkiv direction, according to the analytical department of the public initiative of law, is the case against the background of the events that are taking place. units of the 116th special forces brigade of the russian guard have appeared in the kursk region, that is , they are not the armed forces of russia, they are already starting to use internal troops, everything that is available, mr. sergey, but look, you mentioned the pokrovsky direction and the fact that that from the pokrovsky direction the russians are also transferring troops to the kurdish direction, but still the russians are advancing in the direction

pokrovska and how realistic it is that the russians will be able to take control of pokrovsk in some perspective, because it turns out that pokrovsk is the key to the road to the dnipro and zaporizhzhia, well, this is according to the data of the economists who wrote today about the collapse of the situation in this section of the front, let's refute this information as well, there is no collapse, the tactical advance of the russians... became possible thanks to some factors, several, i apologize, at the same time, the first is the landscape of the area, the plain, the defense forces of ukraine were able to gain a foothold on the plain, for the absence of engineering and fortification structures, the shmygal line, the umerov line, whatever you want to call it, in fact, not in the open field, under constant attacks by the fap, russian attack aircraft, and, accordingly, the advantage in means of defeat, a ratio of 3:1.

accordingly, as soon as we withdraw to the urban development, and we are already fighting in fact , the settlements, novorodivka, the rate of penetration of the russian occupiers will decrease many times. there is no novy district. krasnohorivka, which i mentioned, they have been storming for eight months, eight, and 30% of the city is still controlled by the armed forces. forces of ukraine, let's remember how many bahamud they stormed, nine months, but let's be realistic, the russians have a numerical advantage in manpower, and accordingly, unfortunately, in means of defeat and total superiority in the air, this creates the prerequisites, but to talk about , that they are a failure, they will take pokrovsk, well , pokrovsk is still 10 km away, and the average monthly rate of advance of the russians is 3.5 km.
