the story that everyone is currently discussing is the capture of novohorodivka very quickly, well , in almost three days, we hoped that it would be longer, and here, let's start with why novohorodivka is actually so important, why this news is so irritating, well, not in three days was taken over, the first assault operations on the southeastern outskirts of novohorodivka began. on august 21, and now the russians are actually at the railway junction, that is, they do not yet control the mining area and they do not control novogorodivsk tarikony, but they almost came up close to them, that is, they control about 95% of the city itself, and that's what's really so unpleasant, it's an unpleasant surprise, because grodivka and... grodivka, ah, they could

enter in the general line of defense. grodivka, due to the fact that it is located on the zhurafka river, which is a natural obstacle, and in the event of the destruction of all bridges and the withdrawal of our troops to the very right bank of the zhurafka, this would allow us to hold this line of defense, well, for example, as now in time yaru holds on. channel a po on the right bank of the canal, how is the defense held, and below are reservoirs and cascades, reservoirs, lakes, reservoirs, and this would also prevent the russian invaders from effectively conducting offensive actions, and all these are natural obstacles, they close directly to novogrodivka, which has already artificial barriers, this is a railway, this is a railway junction, and this...

directly mines and these are artificial heights, these are terekons, one of them with the highest height in this location is almost 90 m, so all this would comprehensively create a boundary that would slow down, and possibly stop the rush russians, but this did not happen, i am really surprised that novogrodivka was captured so quickly. by the occupiers, although i am not surprised at all in the turetsko-pokrov direction, because ocheretyne also had the opportunity to hold its defense for several months, but was captured in a few days, in the turetsk area, the eastern borders, the eastern lines of defense between horlivka and turetsk, directly in in the area of ​​shuma, they were formed in such a way that they could withstand the offensive actions of the enemy for a long time, also several... months could hold out,

but they were captured in a few days to a depth of 2.5 km along a front of 5.5 km, so the turkish-pokrov direction is kind of, well, i don’t know, very strange in terms of the introduction of hostilities, but here the question is not so much about the military servicemen, but the rank and file staff, a little to other personnel, because the guys are there, it's true, they hold on. get the most of each position, but there are nuances already with management, management, with the very introduction of hostilities. well, the fact is that it concerns all the points you mentioned, and ocheretyn, and noises, and novogrodivka, well, one could say that these are unorganized positions where it is impossible to fight, but when we talk about these points, we are talking, unfortunately, about organized positions, that is, they were in favor. and here

the question arises, after all, why, why is this happening, although there are some, well, at least some versions of what should have happened, no, well, this is known, for example, any option, when to raise, the same turk , turkish agglomeration, simultaneous rotation of two combat-ready experienced brigades, here is the answer, who does it at the same time, and here... the failure of the defense right near turetsk, the retreat of the russian occupiers was very rapid within the boundaries of the agglomeration itself, the same situation was near ocheretyn, by the way, there was an immediate rotation, an immediate rotation of a combat-ready unit, and the russians took advantage of this, well that you already know, well, some kind of walking on a rake, because we are so passionate about it.

during the rotation, well, since the 22nd year, we hear, it's some kind of just repeating such and such a story, and the second story that is repeated is the movement of the russians along the railway, when they ... for some reason is moving there and for some reason every time it is some kind of news literally that they will be moving there and will definitely pass there, and somehow no one is for this classic of the soviet offensive, this is a classic of the soviet offensive, that is, anyone who has studied or encountered precisely with the soviet strategy, the tactics of conducting military operations, it is all tied to the railway, the entire movement of russian troops, it completely... coincides with the soviet union, that is, it is movement along the railway, this is explained by many factors, by the way, it is not silly, it's not just logistics, yeah as you can imagine that this is logistics, it is also related to the soils, where

the railway is laid, there are more or less stable soils, and in connection with this, the advancement there for the mechanized component is more, let's say so. comfortable, that's why railways were always used in soviet tactics, as the main directions of road and railway development, and as you can imagine, who should, well, be responsible, who should ensure that every time it it was not news that they would move the iron, well, along the railway, somehow be ready. to this fact, and the second, well actually, in order not to lose prepared positions, well, who is responsible for this, at what level should this responsibility be? well, this, you are talking about the level of responsibility, but it is also at my level, to blame someone, there are competent

bodies for this, which conduct the appropriate investigation and draw the appropriate conclusions, but what is dosheretino and turkey, well, this is known, this person is now ... no longer holds her position, she was dismissed from her position, but that no less, she should also be responsible for these failed decisions that were made. further regarding novogrodivka, well, here again, each case requires a separate investigation, because we are not talking about, well, actually, not about any jokes, this is serious, we must now understand that we are in the stage of... defensive-type strategies, as the goal is to exhaust the enemy, how can you exhaust the enemy, you can exhaust the enemy by turning every meter of our territory into hell for them, so that they lose much more resources,

rather than us, every settlement, every village must turn into hell for them, and in fact partly, as it is, the ravine has turned into hell for them. robot performance turned into hell for them. the seversky direction is hell for them. again, serebryan forestry, lymana kupin axis. they have many such locations where they lose a huge amount of resources and cannot achieve any kind of success. in turn, the turkish-pokrov direction is dissonant. in fact, it is dissonant. there are some locations where... for the russians , there is really a meat grinder there now, well, for example, the horodka, it really turned into a meat grinder, a lift, a meat grinder, now they are trying to get to seledov, storming seledov, but it has turned into a meat grinder for them in a meat grinder, and novogrodivka, yes, it was

difficult for them to pass, but novogrodivka for them did not turn into the hell that it could have become, just like ucheretino, and karlivka, a dwarf village near the karlivske... reservoir, yes turned into this hell, they can't do anything about it now, they are constantly storming karlivka, but we can see that their result is zero, they are now trying to bypass it by moving from novogrodivka to the south, er, and there are a lot of dissonances right here, and you still need to understand, understand the who is to blame for these dissonances that arise, because somewhere it is really a... powerful defense, and somewhere, well, to put it mildly, something very strange is happening. well, what are the prospects of the defense of pokrovsk after the loss of novohorodivka? in my opinion, now the main goal of the russians is to create southern flank, after they entered

novogrodivka. because, if they continue their movement directly in the direction of pokrovsk, then... the problem of the southern and northern flanks arises, well, the northern flank is more or less tied to a reed there, the same is true of route 0511 in the zvzdvizhanku, they are for it don't care so much, especially. taking into account the turkish agglomeration, where the battles will now begin, but the southern flank, especially taking into account not only seledov, but also taking into account hirnyk, izmaivka, kurakhivka, zorin, that is, they are accepted by the fact that there may be a breakthrough through the karliv reservoir and to the north along the vovcha river, and then there is a serious potential for the russians to be surrounded, so they will occupy... now the formation of the southern flank and it will take some time, that is the main attack on pokrovsky itself,

it can be postponed, well , somewhere around the end of september to the beginning of october, although we have encountered unpredictability and neglect of human resources on the part of russian commanders more than once, because now they they do not carry out regrouping at all, they constantly create conditions for offensive actions, they have a constant intensity of combat operations in one direction or another. therefore, it is quite possible that they will immediately try to continue their movement in the direction of pokrovsky, although , again, without the formation of the southern flank , they will not dare to start a full-fledged offensive and assault on pokrovsky. well, let's hope that they won't be able to move quickly after that, but you see, the hopes are not very high. thanks to oleksandr kovalenko, military and political observer of the group the informational resistance was with us, well, we have to go on a break now and come back with another guest. after that again. read

does not change, for several weeks, if not more, the assaults are mainly infantry, er, the enemy has not used massive equipment for a long time, because we are still in the spring, it was in april, may, when they went in columns, they were tank columns, there... armored vehicles, we very actively destroyed them with artillery, fired fpv drones, they changed their tactics and switched to the tactics of small infantry groups, that is... combat reconnaissance, two-three-four people, two-three-four fighters go and try, that is, capture, well, recon first and then capture our positions in larger groups, now we we see that the enemy is already sending groups like one or two detachments,

10 people go, 20 people, well, they captured. one of our positions or even in this landing, that is, well, as far as i understand, from what i know, they are strengthening the infantry component, not weakening, but strengthening, that is, you can even say that they are charging some additional people in general see you there, right? well , it turns out that yes, as far as i understand, yes, but tell me, well, here, when, when do they try to do this? now there is, it is possible to somehow distribute it in such a way that it is more at night, there is more during the day, there, that is, when, or whether it already depends somehow, depending on the weather, the hour, the day, as it is now, it depends, it depends on many factors, and of course, they try

to do it more often, well yes, mainly according to my observations already. there have been no changes in this plan for a long time, closer to the morning, closer to the morning they are trying to go, which means that they have changes there, a change in theirs, you can see, if, well, their calculations, their teams, well, at the same time , they advance to storm our positions somewhere early in the morning, approximately, this often happens, but how does it affect... our defense, that is, when it comes to such small infantry groups, what to use then, drones, some other ammunition, artillery, that is, what is the best way to deal with this, well, you have to decide for yourself how to counter this, mainly, of course, this is

a drone component, it is from our side, it is fpv, it is drops from m... other drones from mavics, we have actually been using this tactic for a long time, and against infantry groups too, because they move quickly, and for now, let’s assume that they will be there , a mortar or artillery, or it could be a grenade launcher, will be directed at them there let's say there is any agayas, here, then... well , they just go faster and it is drones - it is the most effective to use drones against them, and do they have any way of countering a drone, what they can oppose, which is proven by ours do i need drones? of course, they have

a variety of countermeasures against drones, means of radio electronic warfare, and this is a trench. they have rebs, there are also special infantry ones, the infantry version of this reb, it fits into backpacks, in principle, these are rather not very large devices, eh, not every, absolutely not every group has them themselves such devices, but eh, well, of course , it is more difficult for our pilots to work when there is a fighter with such a... system in the group, and what is she doing, she is silent, well, that is, a drone falls, or something, what is she like, how does she solve this problem? yeah, it's, well, mostly it's a suppression of the video signal, but less often it's a suppression of the control signal as well, but mostly the video signal, and uh, it's

ineffective for them, because our pilots are quite... highly skilled, they can, on inertia actually, in the final stage, when they go on target, they chase a drone, the pilot of which controls the drone, the drone is already going to the target by inertia, and as they once said, i go by the devices, the picture at this stage is not mandatory, so we fight, hit the targets, regardless of the fact that they, too, of course, have the means against... drone actions, and russia has always been known in principle for its powerful means of electronic warfare, but... the situation on our side is leveling off, i would say, the situation has been leveling off lately, well, so are we now we collect for rap, you see, we also have such a collection for both drones and rap, so

in this regard, we are also trying to help as much as we can, but tell me in general, how do you assess the ratio of our drones to theirs, that is, it is still parity or not parity now, but how is it from your side? and again, i can only say from my experience that from the area where i am, it is close to parity so clearly, well , that is what i would say, so it means that it has become a little more difficult for us than it was before, because before this parity still did not exist , tell me clearly i have a little question for you now, since you are in this direction, i i think that somehow, well, you are also discussing this among yourselves somehow, what do you think

allowed the russians to break through near novogrodivka so quickly, and so unexpectedly quickly, after all, they thought that they would linger there longer, or do you have any versions of your own? regarding this , i have my own explanation, versions, but i don't think it's worth expressing them live, now, let's say this, well, then yes, could there be any objective to this, not subjective to that, which are related to some at certain moments, but the objective ones, well , they use a lot of things there, and it was really difficult, because there were still, as far as i can tell... equipped positions, it is easier to fight in equipped positions than there in in some other places, where from the very beginning there were, well, not very equipped, there were also objective reasons, and

i will say so, even there was and still is a certain, let's say, not hope, but calculation for that , that after all... that the enemy forces will be distracted to put out the fire at home, and they will be distracted, including from the pokrovsk direction, where the russians are advancing the fastest, well, so far, unfortunately, we are not observing a mass, so to speak, rebasing and transfer of units from the direction to the vkurp region. and so on, and unfortunately, yes, so far we are talking about the fact that there are simply too many of them. ok, unfortunately we're out of time, we'd like

to talk more, thank you very much for joining us, this was a fighter with the call sign goose, an aerial scout of the second battalion of the 68th separate hunter brigade from the pokrovsky direction, well , we will meet with you in a week, and you stay with the espresso tv channel. greetings, we are asking for your help in the search for children who disappeared in the temporarily occupied territories, these are two sisters, valeriya and nadiya borkhovich. valeriya is 14 years old, and nadia is 13. the girls disappeared in the swativ district of the luhansk region at the very beginning. of the large-scale invasion of russia, what happened to them and where they are now is unknown, and went missing in temporarily occupied donetsk at the end of last year

13-year-old renat tuktarov, and there is no news from him since that time either. i ask everyone who sees this video to look carefully at the faces of valeria, nadiya and renat. if you know any information about them, call our hotline at number 116. 3:00 calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free and as always i encourage you to repost on your social networks. sharing can really help find the missing sisters and boy faster. we really hope that nadia, valeria and renata will be found, but unfortunately, it is possible that, like many children from the temporarily occupied territories, they were taken to russia. however, even in such difficult ... situations, we do not lose hope, and in order to find the child, we do everything possible for this, in particular, we use the method of searching for information. in short, the essence

of an investigation is a search. and analysis of information available in open sources, for example, in zmi, on forums, sites, messengers and, of course, in social networks. yes, it was with the help of osin specialists and cyber experts from the cyborg community that we succeeded to learn very important information about the missing sisters sasha and nastya lipunovy. i want to tell this story once again as proof that it is possible to find a child even in the most difficult, seemingly hopeless... situations. so, the lipunova sisters disappeared in mariupol in the first days of the full-scale invasion, and for a long time nothing was known about their fate. we suspected that sasha and nastya were no longer in ukraine and ended up in russia, and this version was confirmed. during the autumn investigation, it was found that the girls are really in russia. before the war the sisters studied in one of the boarding schools in mariupol. after a full scale invasion.

they ended up in donetsk, here is a photo from social networks, in which sasha and nastya are actually in temporarily occupied donetsk, it is most likely the spring of 2022, already in the summer of 2022 they were taken to nizhny novgorod, again there is a corresponding photo in social networks and here the sisters are still together, but after that there were no more joint photos of sasha and nastya. we found out that sasha liponova lives in the city of luhovitsa, of the moscow region and on september 1, 2022 , she even entered the local technical school. and here, for example, is a photo of sasha with a diploma for an award in a poetry contest, here the girl is reading poems in one of the city squares. there is also information that sasha lives in a foster family or in a local hostel. as for...

her sister nastya, thanks to the house search, we found out that she most likely lives in the city of kasli, in the chelyabinsk region. and here, for example, is her photo, which nastya posted on may 30, 2023 on her page in social network. and this photo was published earlier, namely on july 24, 2022 . of course, everything we learned about the girls, we immediately passed on to the police. but until these data are officially confirmed, sasha and nastya will be considered missing. but the most important thing is that the received information inspires hope that the girls are alive, healthy, and everything is fine with them. and finally, i ask you to go to the website of the children's search service. all these boys and girls are missing, so if you recognize any of them, please let us know immediately

line by short number "116.30 calls from all mobile operators in ukraine are free. we have created a resource thanks to which you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at any time, just go to the site and report , and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. we will honor the memory of those who gave their lives for ukraine, on august 29, the day of memory of the defenders of ukraine.

we are starting an information day on the spresso tv channel, in the studio at night, kiev was attacked russian drones, fragments of downed shaheds fell in piles. districts, a gazebo in a cat town is on fire in desnyansk, reported the head of the capital, vitaliy klitschko. and in the holosiivskyi district, a small piece of debris flew into an apartment on the sixth floor of a high-rise building. in addition, in dnipro , the remains of a drone were found on a playground between houses, as well as in the yard of a private residence. there were no damages or casualties. and three people were injured because of the russians.
