the defense forces in control of the situation and is it still possible to hold pokrovsk? this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, congratulations, join us, we 're getting started. in this broadcast, you and i will analyze the situation at the front, but we will do it a little later. first, let's talk about the human side, the ordinary life of the city services for civilians in... pokrovsk no longer exist, from today banks will stop working there, only atms will work, the donetsk regional military administration reported. this applies to other services that provide services to the public. everyone is urged to evacuate. currently, the district is under an extended curfew, people can move freely around the city only from 11 am to 3 pm. shops and markets are open for limited hours, and not all of them. on the eve. problems with water delivery, local tv channel orbita announced that he would stop broadcasting. if

for two weeks 600 people were evacuated daily from pokrovsk, now about 2,000 people are leaving every day. serhii dobryak, the head of the pokrov military administration, told us about this this morning. according to him, there are still about half of the people left in the city, that is 30,000, of which 1,300 are children. our correspondent. maryan kushnir, who has been covering the war since 2015, now works in pokrovsk and sees with his own eyes how people are being evacuated from the city and district, the village of sribne, sribnyanska village council, what is the situation there now, well , there were a couple of arrivals, a couple of arrivals, but why are you leaving, it's scary, for the children, of course we are worried, as you think, they are forcing us, we don't want to, of course, but where are they going, they say? oh, well, we're going, we'll try to go to kyiv, we'll get from kyiv to zhytomyr, we

have relatives there, how does it feel to be in a new place, to run away from home? it's hard, we know, we've been there before, it's hard to start everything from scratch. do you believe that you will return home? of course, hopefully as soon as possible. we are with we are evacuating with two children from the inhabited troitskyi pokrovsky district. to the khmelnytskyi region, what is the situation there now? in novotroitskyi, the situation is getting better and better , the situation is normal, tolerable, the sounds of explosions are strange, but very far, but in order to save the lives of our children, it is better to leave. now it's later, of course, it's not so scary for myself, it's scary for the children, because they, no matter how far away, are frightened by the sounds of explosions, airplanes, helicopters, so if i'm worried about their lives, it's better to leave at a safer distance , fear is certainly present now very audible, then he started waking up at night and gets scared, cries that it's scary for the child, so as

not to traumatize his psyche, it's better to leave now than later, so that it will be even more tense. there are some expectations, hopes, we were already there in the 22nd year, that is, somehow the city is already familiar, at least a little there are some acquaintances, relatives, that is, we already know at least where we are going, we were already there in the 22nd, we returned here again and now we are going there again, is there any hope that you will return home, i think not, that we will not return, god forbid that it will all be rebuilt and there was nothing here...but, but i doubt that anything will be better here than somewhere else. if you, our viewer, have your own evacuation story, how it happened, share, perhaps, your emotions, write it in the comments under our video, tell, share your experience with ukrainian society. and maryan kushnir

says that according to his own observations and estimates of the military in this direction. at the rate at which the russian army is advancing now, it will reach pokrovsk, it will already be at the end of september, as it advances russian army, or prepared fortifications, listen to what he tells. we were literally between hrodivka and novohorodivka for a whole day, the russian army there does not stop trying to storm and carry out certain maneuvers, but it must be understood that in this direction ukrainian paratroopers, who... stopped the russian army in this particular section, and how they they claim that the russian army is groping, looking for such weak ways to go further, but it tentatively tried to occupy the territory of grodivka and novogrodivka there, they were stopped somewhere, they they begin to make their way in other directions, move in the direction of selidovo, they achieve

success there, try to build up their strength, but then from the extreme it is also karlivka. where they have succeeded, there they are increasing the blow, and accordingly in other directions, such as, for example, novogrodivka, they have stopped for the time being, because they have shifted their main forces to that direction, and this is what happens there along the entire line, that is, where cracks , there the russian army is trying to pass as quickly as possible, as it happens, the russian army engages infantrymen who are trying to get as close as possible to ukraine in small groups. which armies are trying to knock them out, they are destroyed by drones, artillery, directly from small arms, but they keep going, going, there may be dozens of bodies of the killed russian army, all the same, these small groups advance, accumulate and create such a strike group, as for logistics, there are

drones, artillery, in some places it does not even keep up with them when they pass in such small groups. these are the tactics in the russian army now, again, as they claim fighters directly help drones, drops from drones, and artillery, in time, timely monitoring, intelligence of the situation, and in this way somewhere it is possible to restrain and somewhere the russian army is building up its potential and still passes and occupies the territory of the donetsk region in the pokrovsky direction, well, pokrovsk is left from the nearest point is about 10 km, 20-30 minutes away by car, and in the city itself, by the way, you can already hear well, if earlier only the exits of shells could be heard, now you can already hear the arrival of artillery shells, well, such as f5 drones fly to pokrovsk, to its surroundings, to houses,

defense lines were indeed prepared in this area, well, they really were, we passed literally yesterday near tank trenches and... defensive positions were also dug in, as far as they were competently dug in, this is already a big question, because the fighters claim that in some areas, the trenches were directly in the middle of the field, as of now in this war, the trenches in the middle of the field are very much exposed to the danger of attack uavs, also from such things like fabs and cabs are front-line aerial bombs, and with them... the russian army is actively covering the ukrainian land. now let's analyze what happens directly on the battlefield. the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine writes that there is a high intensity of fighting near pokrovsk. and the number of combat clashes per day increased to 62. the ukrainian analytical portal deepstate reports that another occupied village in the pokrovsky direction is dolinivka in

the selidovoy district. the russian ministry of defense reports on successful attacks in the pokrovsk region. in general, from the front line to the city of pokrovsk remains approximately 8 km and this distance is getting shorter every day. the front near pokrovsk is collapsing, so write some ukrainian analysts, the military and the western press. here we are now. we show how many ukrainian territories the russian army captured on the way to pokrovsk in just one month, from august to september. the russian army is approaching pokrovsk from several flanks, it is pressing on the city of myrnograd, which is north of pokrovsk, and on selidove and ukrainsk, which is further south. and this is roman pohorily co-founder of the deep state project, says that these are the last cities where the armed forces of the armed forces of ukraine can hold back the forces of the russian federation and where major battles can take place. in addition... the analyst notes that the logistics of the armed forces are currently suffering, because the section of the main highway in the silidovoy area, which went to kurakhovoy, is already occupied, and the pokrovsk, mirnograd, kostyantynivka highway is also closed, because the rf forces have

fire control there, i.e. she is completely shot through them. the armed forces have other logistical routes, but these detours are longer and slower, so movement it is more difficult, so to speak, burnt out. they write about pokrovsk and the rate of advance of russian forces in the west as well. the forecasts there are rather pessimistic. the british newspaper times writes that zelensky will probably have to accept the loss of pokrovsky's temporary support in order to succeed in the kursk region. and attention: in the event of the fall of pokrovsk and the surrounding heights, as early as the spring of 2025, russia may begin an offensive on the dnipropetrovsk region. forbes magazine writes that pokrovsk has big problems, the meager reinforcements sent by the armed forces to the area may not be able to save it. the american newspaper new york times came to the conclusion that ukraine bet on the fact that its offensive in the zsu on the kurtsk region of russia would distract the russian army from the offensive on pokrovsk,

but this did not happen. at the same time, some western media and analysts, referring to the unnamed military, as well as to the member of the national security and defense committee, maryana bezugla, write about the lack of coordination and control in the ukrainian army, demoralization and untrained newly mobilized fighters who cannot effectively. to fight for what the front is collapsing. but the military observer, coordinator of the information resistance group, kostyantyn mashovets, draws attention to the fact that the movement of russian forces near pokrovsk has already slowed down. he says that in recent days the advance near selidovoy was only a few hundred meters. the analyst also notes that the russian army will not directly attack the city of pokrovsk until it strengthens its own flanks, and the armed forces of ukraine can take advantage of this. in addition, says mashovets, to storm pokrovsk itself of the russian army'. in any case , reserves are needed, that is, reinforcements, and with that there may be problems given the kurdish operation and the successful counterattacks of the armed forces of ukraine in the kharkiv region, as previously stated by the third

assault brigade. roman kostenko, secretary of the parliamentary committee on national security, defense and intelligence, joins our broadcast. people's deputy of ukraine, colonel of the sbu. i welcome you, roman, to our broadcast. thank you for joining. good morning. with this rate of advance of the russian forces, according to your estimates, according to the information that you... possess, russia can start fighting directly for pokrovsk in september or not? well, let's think about the fact that we will invent forces after all. our main task now is to stop the enemy and stop his advance. there we talk a lot about the fact that the situation there is very complicated, it is so, but i believe that ukraine, ukraine can invent forces in... methods to stop the enemy even on the approaches to pokrovsk, therefore, of course, is now the main task of the command, i would not link here that kursk was not the operation that failed,

so they continue to move, i think that the kursk operation will affect the consequences of the entire front in the future, and this is a fact, because no matter what anyone says, russia cannot help but react to this operation, including with forces and means that must be transferred now, or in the future, because they... also bear losses, and line up reserves somewhere inside that are not prepared, so we have to do everything so that the enemy does not advance further, or there are problems with coordination, there are, of course, and they need to be solved, what are the main problems, well, we have already written about it, including our media and western, and the military commanders talked about it, this is bad training, including the personnel, but i am watching the report there, the enemy is mainly pressing small infantry groups. and sometimes our fighters leave without entering the battle there, not all of them, but there are some areas where they are not prepared, this is a question of whether the fighters are to blame, look, we have to understand

that we have to... turn to the conscription system, from the correct conscription, so that we do not have the situation where people are recruited, and then no one wants to take them to their units, because they are not capable even to learn, but there is such a personnel, then there is little training, lack of coordination, because the brigades are often not brought out, they just throw them like this, they throw up the personnel, and this is such a systemic problem that needs to be solved, do not shout on facebook, no no to give an interview to the western media there, not to be a traitor. they need to be solved, because yes, well, they, they are not going to go away if we just talk about it, so the task of the command of the supreme commander, who is showing now that he is involved, when we successes have begun, therefore it should be included not only when we have successes, but when we also have problematic issues and should directly influence them with its authority, then we will have success, so once again the same question, these are the consequences of , that we delayed the mobilization,

now those people who were directly drafted, i think, after the adoption of the law on mobilization, and before that it was completely failed, are now coming to the front, and now these people, here are those who managed to pass training, they rush to the front, and if our mobilization was constantly at the same pace as it is now, these people would be more trained, well, i believe that months two and three are not enough for conducting modern hostilities, and we see that we are losing ground precisely in close combat, questions to artillery, the question there, let's say,... technology, it remains open, but there is a subsidence there, i don't know how to explain it correctly, it's when it comes to a shooting battle, there are brigades that don't hold a shooting battle, it's also psychological it's hard if you're not prepared, if you're not you know what to do with that machine gun, of course you will leave, and i see from the photo that they left, did not join the battle, sometimes the enemy does not even have an overwhelming force, they leave, and this is a problem that needs to be solved, for this you need experienced brigades which would

help, but staffed, that is , to talk about the fact that we have an experienced team, but to put inexperienced personnel there is also not enough, so it is necessary to work comprehensively, and it is impossible, it is impossible to solve the problems that existed before to solve this so in a day or two, that's why we have to work, roman, well, you're telling me part of the information that ofrek really told me from this direction, that there is demoralization, that the fighters really can't stand these battles, someone else... about the possibility of negotiations there will be, it also had an effect, there is not enough weapons, they also say that, yes, but on the other hand, you know that i heard another such opinion, i think you also heard that the brigades are trained and prepared, they are in the field, but you can it would be them to strengthen pokrovsk, what do you think about this, listen, well, we should not think within the framework of one operation pokrovsk, we have a front of more than 400 km, and in the direction of pokrovsk how many kilometers there are 30, so we have to understand that

the basis is in war... this is imposing the initiative, maneuvering there, creating for the enemy, once again imposing one's conditions , and even if we overthrew those brigades, perhaps they would have been stopped for a while, but the enemy would not have been forced to maneuver. look, we have a problem, we can analyze, only we become on the defensive, the enemy, if it were not there because of what prevails in resources, because that which prevails in strength and means, he still gradually presses us. therefore, it is not at all a wrong strategy to fight the enemy from the position of such a permanent defense, wherever he is, he will push it gradually, so once again we need to conduct an active defense, we need to impose our actions on him, seize the initiative by those means, which are there, then it is possible to achieve some success, simply to stand on the defensive, they have already shown that if there was no symmetrical action there.

lead to loss of territory, we have it to understand and draw conclusions from what happened, we stood in blind defense, we had the largest defense in the east of our country since 2014, there was a defense, dug in, there stood and are still standing there, most of the brigades are experienced, but the enemy pushes, these are the rules of war, you have to do something in other directions to force the enemy to react, if you just stand there, as they say, pull the rope, whoever has more will pull. our task is to exhaust the enemy. roman, whose responsibility is it? we have recently seen that as a result, perhaps not as a result, but it looked like that as a result of a public conflict between your colleague, deputy maryana bezugla, the commander of the air force, mykola olyshchuk, lost his position. speaking modestly about the pokrovsky direction, can there still be a change in command and who is to blame for the fact that the russian army is advancing so quickly, or is there?
