9:00 pm
no - these are the results of a television poll, then we have news from the bbc, and in 15 minutes we will return to the studio with my colleagues andriy yanitsky and bohdan butkevych, stay with us, the month of the kursk operation on august 6. forces of ukraine quickly entered the territory of russia and captured populated areas one by one. what has been achieved during this time, what conclusions can be drawn from this offensive, and most importantly, what is next? we will try to analyze this in today's edition of the bbc. i am olga polomaryuk. lightning attack - an operation that can change the course of the war. so they talked about the breakthrough of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region. thanks to the effect of surprise, the armed forces captured the russian population one by one. points on the night of august 6
9:01 pm
, the ukrainian military broke through the russian border. almost without resistance , they took a dozen settlements in the first day. after a few more days, the city of suju. this is the main transport hub of that part of the border. the ukrainian authorities later announced the creation of a military command post there. and now the armed forces of ukraine control 1,300 km the territory of the ukur region. these are more than 100 settlements. russian troops lost. approximately 6,000 soldiers killed and wounded, zelenskyi said today at the ramstein meeting. the ukrainian army has no intention of leaving this territory - said zelensky in his recent interview, while the head of the kremlin, vladimir putin , said the day before that the situation along the border had been stabilized, and he called the displacement of the armed forces a sacred duty of the russian army. so how was this month? my colleague, bbc correspondent oleg chernysh tells. ball operation. for the armed forces of ukraine,
9:02 pm
it really is, without exaggeration, unique in its kind. in fact, over the past 80 years , no country, no army in the world has captured, er, such a significant, in principle , territory of the russian federation, formerly the soviet union, and has not received it for such a long time. in fact, a month has already passed, and the russians have not succeeded in knocking the ukrainians out of their territory. territory, well, this is actually an indicator, it was conducted in a mode of complete informational silence, that is , neither the allies of ukraine, nor the majority knew about it in general, the military and political leadership of the state, except for zelenskyi, soviskyi and the people who directly received the commands on the ground, that is, the commanders of certain units, in addition, i want to note that even we were personally told by military personnel who took part in this operation that they didn't know the ultimate goal of this
9:03 pm
operation, they did not know where they were advancing, and already during the operation they understood that this was the territory of the kuiv region of russia, as president zelensky says, they, the ukrainian forces, plan to continue to receive this territory, planning it in a certain way, i understand, to use it in the future negotiations on the end of the war. the situation in the pokrov region is difficult, but it should be noted that president zelenskyi is something. in an interview with nbc, he also touched on this topic, he emphasized that, yes, russia did not withdraw troops from pokrovsky, from the pokrovsky direction, but it slowed down its offensive, and just yesterday commander-in-chief sirskyi also confirmed this information, he directly stated that the offensive on pokrovsk has been stopped, and in fact for a week, russian troops have not success in this direction, my sources among the military confirm this... information and
9:04 pm
it is explained by the fact that ukraine transferred additional forces directly near pokrovsk, which were able to stop the russians and even push them back somewhat. however, it cannot be said that the situation has become too easy for ukraine, as the russians are trying to find new gaps, new weak spots in the ukrainian defense, in particular, they are advancing south of what is now pokorovsk near salidovoy and krasnohorivka, and have also stepped up near the coal mine and in the kurakhiv direction. again i note that it was in the pokrovsky direction that the enemy's advance, the russians' advance , slowed down significantly, and here we can say that ukraine is in principle in a rather difficult situation due to the lack of people and ammunition and artillery and other equipment, it was able to stop the advance of a much larger enemy. and you will find more details about the operation in kursk region in oleg's article on our website. bbc.ua. ukraine
9:05 pm
has been receiving part of kurshchyna for a month now, what's next. this is the title, the title of our article. so what did the offensive in the kursk region show? that's right the ukrainian command can act unpredictably and take risks, and whether it was successful, whether the ukrainian army achieved its goals, my colleagues asked the bbc correspondent jonathan beale about this, he has been following the russian-ukrainian war since the first days. i believe that the offensive in the kursk region can be considered successful for the following reasons: firstly, it showed that ukraine can conduct large-scale military operations on russian territory, and to do it unexpectedly for the russians, it showed. that ukrainian forces can act in an all-arms way, that is, to operate using all their artillery systems, air defense systems, ground forces in order to seize territory, and this is what they were unable to do during last year's offensive, because of the heavily
9:06 pm
mined russian fortifications. in addition, it raised the fighting spirit of ukrainians at a time when they needed good news due to failures at the front, and this offensive gave ukraine more than just the military. the same good news for the whole country. but what did this offensive not achieve? he is like this now it seems, did not force russia to change its military strategy. russian troops are still focused on the east of ukraine, they are still making progress on the front line. have you already achieved success? because the ukrainians say that the front has stabilized. but the russians did not transfer a large number of their troops from the east of ukraine to protect the kursk region. and one more thing he did not do this offensive. did not change the position of ukraine's western partners regarding the provision of long-range weapons to kyiv and the permission to use these weapons for purposes inside russia, which kyiv is asking for. and the west itself did not change its position, despite what ukraine managed to achieve in the kurdish region.
9:07 pm
we know that ukraine carried out this operation in order to have leverage over moscow, they wanted to bring war to moscow, president zelensky himself said this. if peace talks do take place. and this will depend on the outcome of the american elections in november, because trump said that he would end the war on the very first day, so the ukrainians will have a better negotiating position if they have territories to exchange. the only thing we currently have we do not know, and it is very difficult to predict how this will all end, but was this operation worth the additional resources that were pulled from the eastern front to help this offensive in kursk, will this offensive have any effect on the course of the war? and let's talk about it further, the head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation, serhiy kuzan, joins the broadcast. mr. serhiy, i congratulate you, thank you for joining, western experts and the ukrainian command have repeatedly said that the key to ukraine's victory is the transfer of the war to the territory of russia in your opinion, is the offensive in kursk
9:08 pm
region about this? and absolutely, but we need to note that the military does not act according to such, so to speak... tive-political categories, such as borders o ukrainian territory, ukrainian territory, russian territory, they act in terms of such concepts as the occupation of more advantageous defensive borderlands , and therefore the creation of a threat from the russian side to the entire north, and this is specifically sumyshchyna and chernihivshchyna, that is, this group that was in suja from the russian side. it posed a real threat, and this was reported by our intelligence and western intelligence, and our command also spoke about it, so the russian threat has been leveled, more advantageous positions have been taken, it continues, well, in fact , the offensive campaign has been going on for a month and
9:09 pm
new territories are being occupied . since the beginning of the war, that is, the rate of advance, the rate of defeat, the rate of capture of prisoners, they are today at the maximum level, and these the facts, they are already talking about the success of the kurdish operation, but still we do not know the very idea, i.e., the very implementation of the operation, and the president of ukraine zelenskyi is also talking about it, and it is the kurdish operation that is planned. in the victory plan, not peace, but victory, which was presented by the president of ukraine and in washington, which he also presented to the ramstein police, and showed that russia not only lacks reserves, but in fact
9:10 pm
ukraine has eliminated the entire threat from the north, which is the russian federation was blackmailing actually the northern flank of nato. today, the forces of the group... north, they are massing in kurshchyna with the help of our best, well , highly mobile battalions, and isn't that why the russians haven't launched a counteroffensive in kurshchyna yet? well, they have absolutely nothing to go on, and they are trying to accumulate reserves. it's no secret that today their forces are more than 10 times greater than our group operating in kurshchyna, and at the same time, in spite of everything, it is precisely thanks to, well, high maneuverability, precisely thanks to the campaign, in other words, maneuvering, even that... to make it so much higher significance, and this is all putin's help,
9:11 pm
neither his own borders, nor the facts of reserves, that is , today's command, which assured, and the president of russia, that somewhere beyond the urals, there is a huge group, and they say not only ukraine, but ... that is why nato turned out to be fake, in fact all russian red lines are so brown. mr. serhiy, well , the question is, then, what conclusions should the ukrainian draw from that bridgehead. here i say once again that so far the goals have been achieved or not achieved, but it is already obvious from the conclusions. it is sewn that this operation is correct, it is being played,
9:12 pm
and it needs to be developed, that as the grouping of forces accumulates, of course , the pace of advancement, but nevertheless continues to remain stably high, therefore , the use of this would seem to be the advantages of russia, its greatness it was shown that this is a russian letter, and that this is its weak point, today the estonian army can besiege, for example, st. petersburg, calmly, for example, eliminate the threat of a breakthrough in this corridor, and all this thanks to the operation, i.e we have more equipment, more. more, more ambition so that we can seize the initiative in more unexpected areas, and that
9:13 pm
's how we win the war. serhii kuzan, head of the ukrainian center for security and cooperation. actually, about equipment and ammunition, the issue of military aid to ukraine, the main thing at today's meeting of the ramshtein group, the meeting was held in germany, volodymyr zelenskyi also came there, as experts assume, this is how he wanted to show the seriousness of the situation, especially... after the recent mass shelling of ukraine, so to which it was agreed that ukraine would receive the results of the meeting, rfe/rl correspondent zoryana stepanenko and zaremshtein point out. volodymyr zelenskyi personally presented the military needs of ukraine here for the first time. ukraine surprised everyone with its attack on the kursk region of russia. the russian federation, in its turn , is advancing in donbas and intensifying massive shelling of ukrainian cities. this is what ton ramshtein asked for the meeting. the ukrainian president even told everyone. that the operation on kurshchyna, she said, took away 600 soldiers from russia,
9:14 pm
these are killed and wounded, and ukraine prevented such a method of attack. kyiv now controls 1,300 km of russian territory and needs help to regain its own. zelenskyy asked for new weapons and the delivery of previously promised ones. allies in the summer, in particular , pledged to transfer the systems, how many are still on the way, the president did not say. but he said that more and long-range missiles without geographical restrictions on the use of deep-seated missiles were needed from partners, that the weapons did not sound, the pentagon noted that ukraine was a successful battle, but he does not believe that it will become such a silver will significantly change the flow of new arms packages, the key donor is singled out. in the second tranche of $250 million, it includes ammunition for anti-aircraft missiles,
9:15 pm
canada will transfer 12 anti-aircraft missiles from germany, and together with it will transfer 77 more , and the netherlands will help with technology, now ukrainian missiles will also be shared, they will help protect. see you on monday. hundreds of square meters of damage, houses that need to be rebuilt, with restoration in different regions of ukraine, people's rights, opportunities and personal experience. this is olga's house, and this is what it looks like,
9:16 pm
i do not spend at the moment, how to unite the country projects. program and urban development, every saturday at 18:30 at espresso. vasyl winter air. it's your time to learn about the war and how the world lives. two hours of economic news, two hours of company presenters, presenters, as well as distinguished guests of the studio. events of the day in two hours. vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for smart and caring people, in the evening at espresso. greetings, friends, live on the espresso tv channel, the second part of the verdict program,
9:17 pm
my name is serhiy rudenko, and in this part we let's talk about this. massive rocket attacks, targeting the civilian population throughout the territory of ukraine. why does putin still have security guarantees from the west for his military bases deep in the country. in search of administrative logic, the president's office became a personnel forge for shmyhal's renewed government. why are new appointments so often accompanied by scandals? yermakivshchyna in state administration, shurma's resignation and tatarov's public defense. how does zelenskyy perceive the world around him through his friends, associates and closest circle? that's all about it we will talk for the next 45 minutes. let me remind you that throughout our broadcast we are conducting a survey, today we
9:18 pm
are asking you about whether you expect the government to improve after the replacement of nine ministers, after the replacement that took place in... yesterday, so yes, no, on youtube it's quite simple, if you have your own opinion, please leave a comment below this video, if you're watching us on tv, pick up your smart phone or phone and vote on 0800 211 3801 if you think the government will improve , no 0.800 211 382, all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will sum up the results of this vote, and today is friday, today is our traditional journalistic friday, my colleagues, one colleague came to the studio, and another , i hope that he will join us via skype, so today we have andriy dyanitsky, andriy, congratulations, good evening, and we are still waiting for bohdan butkevich to join, i hope that he will still connect with our
9:19 pm
editorial office and go on the air, well, since andriy , we ask our viewers. tv viewers, or do they expect improvement in the work of the government, well , it seems like such a rhetorical question, especially considering, considering our extensive experience of observing governments on rotations, well , it seems like a rhetorical question, and still i will ask, we are not the first to say that the government performs such a decorative function that the decision-making center is actually located in the president's office, and the government performs such a more seminal function, consecrating all these decisions. well, they even tell me that almost every ministry has an advisor, well, before used to say, watcher, but now they say an adviser who advises the minister on how to do the right thing, and obviously, if you change just the name of the ministers, without changing the team as a whole, you cannot help but put a person who
9:20 pm
will be more independent with his vision, with his and from their own initiative, nothing will change, but it is interesting that zelensky is actually talking about the fact that there will be new energy, new people, although if we look at these appointments, now we will look at the nine new ministers appointed by the verkhovna rada of ukraine , then they are basically and were previously in this bracket, were either performing duties, or were somewhere nearby or worked in the office of the president of ukraine, so olya... shina, she became the minister of justice, and was the vice prime minister for european integration, andrii sybiga, minister of foreign affairs, was the first deputy minister of foreign affairs'. oleksiy kuleba, deputy prime minister for reconstruction, minister of community development, and worked as deputy head of the president's office, herman smetanin, minister of strategic
9:21 pm
industries, and worked at ukroboronprom, vitaly koval, minister of agrarian policy, now he was the head of the state property fund, before that, the head of the rivne regional military administration. mykola tochytskyi is actually a staff diplomat, and he was the deputy minister of affairs and was the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine, and became the minister of culture and strategic communications. nataliya kalmykova became the minister of veteran affairs and matviy bidny, the minister of youth and sports, he was acting. svitlana grynchuk became the minister of environmental protection. well , to be honest, i know half of these people's surnames about them heard, but do not know anything, but from this. of course, such names as mykola tochytsky deserve attention in the list, because he became the minister of culture and strategic communications, apparently we
9:22 pm
are creating, well, probably this ministry will now be called rather, well, minister, the ministry of propaganda and counter-propaganda, well, maybe during the war this is justified, but by the way, i wanted to emphasize the only positive story with these appointments that the ministries. which for a long time did not have leaders, where there were acting responsibilities, finally they got their managers, and this is really positive, because when any organization is managed by a temporary manager, the efficiency of this management is not very good, subordinates think that this is a temporary boss and it is possible not to listen to him and fulfill his duties connections are quite formal, when the leaders have already been appointed... at the same ministry of information, for example, the work should obviously go faster, this is the only plus, and what else i would like
9:23 pm
to note, and that, by the way, deputies between they say to themselves, and i heard it from one of the deputies from the parliamentary majority, the monomajority, that in this way the authorities decided to remove the fears and such a request of the people for elections, because during the war. it is difficult to hold, well, not such formal ones as russia conducts, where they are simply drawn, but real elections are difficult, because some people are abroad, some are in the trenches, and this change of government showed that it was as if some kind of renewal of power took place, well, that too such a purely psychological story, i don't think that ukrainians will feel it, because i think that somewhere 60 or 70 percent of people can't even. to identify or even to say that there was oleksiy kuleba who became the minister of intelligence, there was already such a kuleba, so it is this one, yes kuleba, maybe a brother or a son, yes that, or
9:24 pm
or there sybiga became the minister of foreign affairs, well, that is, even for us , for people who have been watching politics for a long time by personnel appointments and by ministers, i remember, well, even 5 years ago or 6 years ago , we clearly... tracked who, or how he came, what kind of person he was, and now they are all in principles follow the passport of one or two people, each minister used to be an individual, we looked at the plans of the entire minister, what approaches, how he, well, i remember he wrote a lot about transport, there was a minister from vienna, he developed first of all the railway, and when pivovarskyi was primarily blamed for the summer. started the courts of low-costers, that is, everyone had their own personal approach, and now, when we look at these ministers, well, the names
9:25 pm
change, the approaches do not change, but about sebigi, positive, i heard reviews even before he became a minister, it was said that he was one of the president's speechwriters, he helped write these speeches, which were then collected. applause in all the parliaments of the world, and when he was made the first deputy minister of foreign affairs, it became clear that he was already being prepared to become a minister, and when that scandalous order was issued not to extradite, not to provide consular services to men from abroad without prior the appearance of military registration documents, despite the fact that the law on mobilization itself had not come into force at that time e. so this order the scandalous one signed precisely sebig, and not dmytro kuleb, and then it became clear who is still the master in the house, the master and who
9:26 pm
is actually the minister, i.e. already at that moment it was clear that sabiga was in fact in charge of the ministry of foreign affairs, and what was the claim against koleba, as colleagues from ukrainian pravda and other publications write, that he did not want to or fulfills it, i read it, that he did not want to to waste his hands, but he did not want to sign such dubious laws and orders from the point of view of the law, well, accordingly , they got rid of him, well, it must be said that in the updated the government now has three people who are staff diplomats, that is, people who, to be more precise, two for sure, this is andrii sybiga, because he is not a random person, he was an ambassador, an extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador in turkey, ukraine, and he worked like you said, zelenskyi's speechwriter, then he was yermak's deputy and from april he began
9:27 pm
to perform the former's duties. of the deputy minister of foreign affairs, but mykola tochytskyi is also a diplomat, and a staff diplomat, these are all those people who were in the diplomatic service for a very long time, he was ambassador to belgium, worked in euro-atlantic structures and a person who graduated from the kyiv institute of international relations, although he was there, his first education was in philology. faculty, he was a translator from the french language, by the way, he studied at the time when i was at the university, i remember him from tochytskyi university, and he was recently about to be appointed, that is, instead of sybig, he came to ministry of foreign affairs, and he went to the office of the president of ukraine and now he the minister of culture and strategic communications,
9:28 pm
this... obviously, such separate serious work should be enough, regardless of all these managers who are in the office of the president of ukraine, because after all, during the war, strategic communications are not only communications with a single telethon, we are talking about the creation of a system of propaganda and counter-propaganda that will work both in europe and throughout the world, because, unfortunately, we do not have a foreign language as such... it exists, that is, there is freedom, there is home and what else, the entire united 24, it's formal at least not state history, but as public history, although we understand very well that it is still a tool, but such resources as, for example, the same russia abroad, the united states of america abroad, germany actively works abroad, well, many powerful countries, they have their own mouthpieces that
9:29 pm
influence... audiences abroad, that is , we don't have that, obviously tochytskyi will be doing exactly that, do you think he will succeed? well, i don't know him personally, i also read his biography, i liked it. he by the way, i worked a lot with kuleba, and kuleba, well, i would actually see kuleba in this position, well, i understand that after the ministry of foreign affairs to head the ministry of information policy, now the strategic strategic communication, it is not, probably in his ... there would be a downgrade in his eyes, i don’t know where he hasn’t gotten tired of over the years, but eh, if we talk about resources, then everything does not always depend on resources, it is clear that we will never be able to compete with russia in terms of volume financing information campaigns, but let's look at what russia has achieved, all its attempts to influence the world through rasha today, through satellites, where they have poured millions, billions,
9:30 pm
billions of dollars from... over the years, they have not led to anything, and here are the latest showers of ephesians, exposed by christ grozov and bellenket and the insider, show that the fsb officers themselves recognize that spending on rasha today is already ineffective and no one accepts such lab propaganda, so they begin to act in a different way, to imitate ukrainians and local activists. mass media have already been promoted, for example, to create fake fox news pages and thus try to influence the citizens of other countries, well, in the states they generally thought of using artificial intelligence to create simply millions of these advertising messages in order to personally influence each and every group of voters with the messages that these voters can be pushed, that is, i lead to the fact that
9:31 pm
it is not so much about money, but about guilt, approaches and if in
