see this week in the collaborators program. new faces of treason in the kherson region, to whom the occupiers gave the mandate of the minister of education? happy russia day, happy day of the powerful country in which we live and work. but who russifies ukrainian studies? kherson region together with russia. on tuesday, september 3 at 5:45 p.m., watch the collaborators program with olena kononenko on the espresso tv channel. a new week and we start it today. a few minutes ago, i already told what

topics we will discuss today, what we will discuss, with whom we will discuss, most importantly, khrystyna yatskiv joins us live, and of course, unfortunately, we start the new week according to tradition, which the occupiers impose on us with large-scale shelling, fortunately today... or this night without casualties, yes, but, but less so, about we will also say this, so of course, we hold on and try to unite around our ukrainian values, hold on and not succumb to sleep, now i have chosen this very strategy for myself, because the nights are really very difficult now in ukraine, but thank you for the fact that the morning is coming, we thank the forces of... defense, we thank

the air defense forces of our country for the fact that there is an opportunity to continue working for our viewers, today ukraine sent its children to educational institutions, and it is also impossible not to note, at the same time, you you see, many different important moments are happening in our country, and there are many opinions on the topic of how the purely military situation should develop further. and how should we provide everything necessary for our country, including people, so that it can continue its successful defense, just recently an electronic petition was registered to lower the upper limit of mobilization for men from 60 years to 50 years, and it gathered the necessary 25 thousand signatures in almost two months, and today we ask you if you support lowering the age mobilization up to 50 years old, if you support it

, please call 0800 211 381, if you think that this should not be done, then 0800 211 382, ​​all your calls will be free, and your opinion is invaluable to us, well, we start traditionally on security issues, military issues, issues of the large-scale, large-scale war of russia against ukraine and, of course, those... military operations, the theater of operations currently unfolding in donetsk region. we will also talk now about the full-scale shelling, which, as we have already done mentioned, took place that night. we are in direct contact with pavlo lekiychuk, head of security programs of the center for global studies strategy 201 of the 21st century, captain of the first rank of the reserve. mr. pavle, we are you. we are glad

to see and hear on the air of the espresso tv channel. good evening, glory to ukraine. good evening, glory to the heroes. mr. pavle, as i already said, now. we see that the russian offensive is taking place in donetsk region, we see that actually, for example, commander-in-chief oleksandr syrskyi reports that the direction of the main attack of the enemy, as he calls donetsk region, that's what he calls the pokrovsky direction. the situation is difficult, but all the necessary decisions at all levels are taken without hesitation, this is a direct quote from oleksandr syrskyi, well... in the pokrovsky direction , the russians continue to strengthen, there are meat assaults and powerful pressure on the ukrainian defenders, and about this, in particular, in the officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov

handziuk serhii tsehotskyi told the espresso tv channel. let's listen and then we'll get to the discussion. powerful infantry assaults continue. exactly powerful, because such a wave and such a number of infantry, the enemy, there was not, probably for a very, very long time, they are storming absolutely all along the front at the same time, and let's say, they are trying to push through, there was an attempt on saturday morning to storm with heavy armored vehicles, well this it was unsuccessful. in their combination, almost all the equipment was either

destroyed or knocked out, and did not advance. 9 km remain to the city in which the evacuation of the civilian... population is already taking place, at the same time, if we look at the trend in the pokrov direction there in the last weeks, our military signals that the enemy has been pressing madly for the last few days, but he manages to advance much less and more slowly than it was just recently, how would you describe the situation here, well, most importantly, when the commander-in-chief, general sersky, says that the pokrovsky direction is in a broad sense. the donetsk direction, this is the direction of the main strike of the enemy, it is true, and all the time in recent months our attention is focused on the area in the north, starting from chasovoyyar, toretsk, pokrovsk, that is, and it is correct,

the situation is really the most difficult there, but in recent days, in my opinion, the key to the battles in pokrovsk direction shifted to the south. further south there, in the direction of kurakhiv, even the area of ​​selidovoy, but just on the map you can see that there , in the south from krasnohorivka, blows are formed and in the north in the area of ​​ukrainka, the russians form such a half-bucket for our forces, which are defending themselves, in fact they are on their side, they, that is why pokrovsk has weakened somewhat. is their pressure, because they have concentrated their efforts on protecting their flank, that is why the blows are being carried out on selidovo, and on the one hand and on the other hand they are afraid of this southern

group of ours, that we will make a blow here and there in their flank, on the other hand they in this way , they create such a situation there that... due to flank strikes, our group can significantly advance to, well, somewhere there, to the wolf, to the line of the wolf, uh, most likely, and how can i not it seems, and as i believe, until the flank task of protecting their flank, the southern flank, the left flank is solved for them, the attack on pokrovsk will be... somewhat slower, and in general, if the task is not solved for them, which is the junction between the other two groups of troops, the center and the south, this already requires a much higher level of coordination, then

the advance to pokrovsk may seriously stall, and this may allow our engineer troops to prepare for the defense of the city. mr. pavle, could you tell me, please? in view of what we see now, whether there is a threat of the encirclement of our group, or part of our group in these locations, the encirclement, well, the bucket is drawn, that is , flank strikes are possible there, and they will take place, and depending on which our forces and reserves will be directed to this area, we will either continue the flanks, or we will be forced to withdraw to the west, seriously withdraw to the west in order to avoid... the threat of the encirclement, yes, if we talk about the general situation along

the battle line , also a trend of recent days, this it is possible to resume the movement of the defense forces in kurshchyna, and actually the last information, in particular from the deep state, that we have is the end of the cleaning along the mala loknya line and the fungus, and please tell me the heavy ones. for several weeks now, information has been circulating that in the glushkovsky district of the kursk region , we may be talking about, well, a dead end for the russians, due to the cutting off, in particular, of the logistical arteries across the river, let them flow, well, what can i say, it really is an offensive in the kursk region slowed down to a great extent, and this is understandable. the first the enemy is trying to concentrate forces for defense, and secondly, and this is the most important thing: a quick

offensive, he is stretching logistics, logistical chains, and in order to provide the second echelon, well, it is much more important at this stage, to provide the second echelon, to provide the logistics of those units that are in the zone ee... freed from russian troops, and well, there may be a regrouping with further advancement, but it will not be as sudden and distant, as many of us would like in a body, because it is necessary to understand that well offensive, it is determined, again , by the reserves, material and human, which are for this offensive. it is possible to allocate, at the same time, with a difficult situation in the east, to throw very large

forces, to the north is also not very expedient, therefore the commander-in-chief must somehow solve this puzzle and distribute resources so that both for defense, the necessary minimum is present, and for offensive operations as well . there are enough reserves and forces, so the offensive will continue as long as there are logistics, we are advancing, there are no logistics, we are stopping, i will remind you of kharkiv the offensive of the 22nd year, do you remember the works of the matchmaker then, well, they are 10 km away from them, but the command says: stop, let's stop, such dreamy, so desirable for liberation, such important cities, but... if we continue to advance, a threat to

logistics is created, and in fact a successful offensive, a successful offensive, can turn into a disaster, we do not want the kurshchyna operation, which concerns the left flank along the seim river, to turn into a disaster, then the russian paratroopers really fell into a good trap there , and i really... hope it is will allow not only to clear a significant area of ​​the border from russian encroachment, but also to replenish the exchange fund a good bit. mr. pavle, if we return to the events on our front, most likely donetsk region, kharkiv region, but regarding kharkiv region, by the way, i would like to ask. we observe that recently in the izyum direction, in

the kupyan direction, the russians have also intensified their efforts, there their advances are not so great, they are advancing in one or two places, but they are still advancing, there is still a certain the threat that in the coming months, at least, they will try to make some kind of breakthrough there, or why are they still trying to press... there, this is the first question, and the second question, it concerns, of course, vovchansk, the vovchan area, where anyway , the russians hold that small territory, and... they are still trying to advance there, albeit in small groups, these two directions, let's say, we will combine them in general under the name of the kharkiv direction, there is a threat here, or this threat, at least for now disappeared, well, not for nothing, even logically, you united them in one direction, it really is

like a domino, you know, vovchanchansk is the flank of kupyansky. of their offensive, or rather, the kupyan direction, he provides the flank of kupyansk, so that if they are successful in vovchansk, then it will be easier for them to operate in the vovchan direction, in the kupyan direction, and if they are successful in the kupyan direction , this will make it possible to develop success in the lyman direction, and we already have a whole such ... sequence of an offensive from the north, if they do not have, they will not try to develop success in the lyman direction, even the capture of pokrovsk, well , this is such a pyrrhic victory, it does not give a strategic, strategic victory, they need

an offensive from there as well, so it can be assumed that in the case, i say again, in the case of taking... pokrovsk, and this still under great question, it is quite possible to transfer efforts to the north to the lyman direction, with the aim of defeating our grouping of forces, but here every day there are more and more questions, it seems that they do not have that many reserves, if they had enough reserves, they would significantly... on the wider front, they operated in the pokrov direction, so they were forced to maneuver tactical, operational-tactical reserves, transferring from place to place the most combat-capable units, the most combat-capable units, not formations, this indicates that strategic reserves in there is a shortage of them and they cannot effectively move with

the same productivity as before in several directions, but... now imagine two strategic directions on which you need to carry out an offensive, this requires an order of magnitude more forces, so the idea of ​​the russians is as follows on surface, but will they have enough strength against him, if they cannot protect kurshchyna, of course there are political points, that there bortnikov, the fsb, they are extreme, here gerasimovimo is extreme. and they are fighting among themselves there, but still, the military is a component, a component of strategic reserves, it is very important, and so far it is difficult to give an unequivocal answer to it, because obviously putin does not want a new mobilization, obviously putin wants his

the generals coped with the forces they have, and these forces are growing every day. not less, mr. pavle, one more topic, unfortunately, we do not have much time left, it concerns the attacks on the russian federation, by our state, by our defense forces, on the night of september 1, their regions were attacked by more than 100 - 100, almost 160 unmanned aerial vehicles, at the same time the russians are striking, we can see on our territory, but still, if we are talking about these attacks. in fact, this attack on the territory of russia can be considered one of the largest, should we expect such massive attacks in the near future, or nevertheless, ukrainian forces will strike more locally, let's say on energy facilities or military facilities, and how much will this exhaust russian logistics? let's go back two years, in the fall of the 22nd year

, such a programmatic article was written by general zaluzhny and zabrodsky. about the plans of the armed forces of ukraine, and then the generals set this, one of the key tasks, which was being solved for almost two years, and now we can say that we are on the threshold of solving it, then they characterized it as the main decisive the superiority of russia, its ability to kill to the full depth of our territory. and they set a task for our military-industrial complex, for the armed forces to create capabilities for an adequate response. to the full depth of the enemy's construction, and strictly speaking, the latter are successful, well, crimea can be considered a warm-up before that, yes, now

we see the transfer of strikes on the military, military-economic infrastructure to the depths of the russian federation, well, this is the same political effect as the effect of the strike on... the russian kurdish region is a transfer hostilities into the territory of the enemy, and not just deep, i would say, even into the heart, since the burning oil refinery is somewhere in the hinterland, that's one story, but in moscow it's a little different, right? mr. pavle, clarifying a clear question, it seems to me that we are currently in a mode of some kind of high escalation from two sides, ours is one of the most massive drone attacks on the territory of the russian federation today. crazy amount of ballistics, and andrey and i talked about it, i'm not sure that there was such a number of ballistic missiles in one hit as was today, besides, well, i don’t know, if

i recall, but here is the last large-scale shelling of kyiv before tonight, then in principle it was also crazy simply because of the number and combination of all means, doesn’t one get the impression that both sides are now going to escalation and can we say that in the near future some new features of this war, this confrontation will be outlined? well, to be honest, from the beginning of the kurdish operation and the form of the answer, the form of the answer that russia gave unexpectedly, we normal people expected putin's logical decision to concentrate forces on defense in the first place. their people of their own land, and then on the annexation of someone else’s, no, he actually abandoned kurshchyna, and continues to advance on donetsk region,

and now this exchange of blows, or rather, not even an exchange of blows, finally the ukrainians began to respond to russian airstrikes, air- missile, aviation and drone strikes, an adequate response to the deep russian. territory, after the start of this operation, there was such an association, you know, among pilots, the one who wins enters the enemy's tail, yes, all attacks from the tail are carried out from above, and there is one attack that is so incredible, it is a frontal attack, when they go head-on with each other, and it has such a psychological component, who is first... wink, who is first divert, ugh, and here is a similarity with such a situation, well, it is very similar, an obvious

parallel. mr. pavle, we are sincerely grateful to you for joining the espresso tv channel for expressing your expert opinions, pavlo lakiychuk, head of security programs of the strategy 21 center for global studies, captain of the first rank of the reserve. well, i will remind you about our poll, today we are asking you whether you support lowering the mobilization age from 60 to 50, if you think so, you can take your smartphones or phones, absolutely free by calling 0800-211381, if not - 0800-211-382, i emphasize once again, all this is absolutely free, and we go further, in contact with the studio. chalenko, political and economic expert, head of the analysis and strategy center, mr. igor, congratulations, glory to ukraine. glory to the hero, good evening. i wanted to be with you to outline what is currently happening on

the territory of germany, a country that plays a key role in europe when we talk about the capabilities of our allies in general, and to continue to help us. it happens very often, you know, germany has given, everyone else is pulling up, along with britain, the united states. and we understand how strong they are in that regard, and the elections in germany, in principle, were quite expected, but turned out to be a nuisance for ukraine, we see that, in principle, the victory is quite confidently won by the extreme right, and in principle by the very left as well there are strong ones, i.e. populists, populists from both sides, and the most interesting thing is that the leftists are a new political force, right? lands, and all of them are not very in favor of helping our country in the future, did it not

happen for us? now this is, you know, a preview of a certain support fiasco for the near future, well, i would not rush to such conclusions, for example, i liked the reaction of scholz, who, of course, called the results of the elections in two lands a shame, but the second thesis, she , i think actually in our direction can play, he called for the creation of... coalitions, regardless of the outcome of the alternative for germany, regardless of the outcome of this new power saga, well, roughly speaking, he pointed out that there are opportunities today for broad coalitions, accordingly, we must oppose today extremely the right, the extreme left, but the most important thing is that we can turn this opposition in our direction, because, again, why did scholz lose

support, including the social media. the democratic party of germany, because the voters were looking at, well, let's say, not very stable and about of foreign policy, indecisiveness, what was directly said to scholz, including on the issue of ukraine, despite the fact that germany really remains the second largest aid to our country, all on key issues, for example, such as long-range tau missiles. visa is still there, that is why we can at this very moment send such a signal that, well, since these right-wing radicals and left-wing radicals, who very much share such a position in ukraine and russia, but nevertheless, well, if you fight them, accordingly, the current government coalition is there, then you need it to do exactly what will be against them...

accordingly, aid to ukraine must be strengthened, but of course, well, we cannot help but record the increase in the influence of radical forces, of course, when, for example, the elections to the european parliament took place, this is maximally, well, softened, we can say so, in the same way in france they were able to maintain stability at the national level, in principle, but again in germany it is not national now. elections, we also have to understand this, they are still really local elections in several lands, but nevertheless, of course now the right-wing radicals, the same alternative for germany will use it to the maximum, both with regard to criticism of the current government coalition, and of course, with regard to criticism of european policy towards ukraine in general, and there are risks for us in this, mr. igor, but if we still speak about such a more...

distant prospect, even a more precise prospect of 2025, these are elections, national elections in the federal republic of germany, and it is clear that yesterday's regional elections, they are de facto considered by these political forces that we are talking about now speaking as a rehearsal to some extent, how do you assess the possibility in 2025, based on what we will see... yesterday, today, a certain trend of growth of these two extreme but populist political forces, and of course, speaking in context threats to ukraine, in the context of threats to europe in general, because we know their position and a lot of the postulates of their theses, their principles, which relate specifically to security

issues. considering the budget problems in germany and what is going on there now, well, let's say , they are cutting everything possible, and we we even feel the support of ukraine, and when we heard there the amount of 4 billion euros of aid for next year compared to 8 billion euros this year, but nevertheless, it just shows that, of course, radicals are on the wave of economic problems. will have the opportunity for further growth, well, plus, again the topic of migration, ukrainian refugees, of course, it plays the same way, according to different calculations, we have in germany, there someone says 1.3 1.3 million people, someone says 1 .5 million people, but nevertheless, it is very a large number and load, and there are others, respectively, refugees and...

the germans see all this, and in this one.
