to his son-in-law, yes, but less so, we do not know how the events in turkey will develop, at least for the next few years, because different events may take place before that time. that's all for today, we thank you for being with the saturday political club, vitaly portnikov. andriy smaliy, thank you for watching this program and watching from the press in the future, all the best to you. let's hold on, and goodbye. victory and peace. the russians are approaching pokrovsk, why is it important for us to keep this particular city of dnizhalobi in lviv and poltava, how is ukraine recovering after massive shelling of the russian federation and a change in the government. the new positions

of the last name are the old ones. my greetings, annaeva melnyk is with you, the espresso team talks about the main things of the week that passes. the local authorities of pokrovsk were recommended to prepare for defense. currently, the nearest point of the front is less than 8 km from its outskirts, and russian troops are increasing the number of shelling in this direction. why is it strategically important for the armed forces of ukraine to hold the city. later in the plot. whether ukraine will be able to hold pokrovsk is crucial logistics center, which is called the key to the whole of donbas. this question is currently being actively discussed in ukrainian and western zmi. after the operational and tactical success that the enemy had at the end of august, his activity in the pokrov direction decreased. the russians have 8 km left before the city itself, but they are in no hurry to storm it head on. in an interview with the american television company cnn , the commander-in-chief. oleksandr syrskyi declared

that the advance of the russians on the city had been stopped. we do everything in order not to lose the city. we are strengthening the defense in this direction. over the past six days, the enemy has not advanced even a meter in the direction of pokrovsk. this is how our strategy works. however, the enemy shows high activity on the flanks. to the north of the pokrovsk-myrnograd conglomerate , the russians are advancing on turetsk, and this one. last week , they sharply increased their activity in the south in the ugledar area, and again, they do not go into frontal assaults, as they did last year, they try to bypass the cities from the flanks. fierce battles are also taking place in the silidovoy area. the enemy's goal is to force the armed forces to withdraw from the city and thus protect themselves from flanking counterattacks, say observers. only then can they begin an assault on pokrovsk itself. another question is whether they will have the strength for it. reserves, six months after

the capture of avdiyivka, the russians advanced 33 km in the direction of pokrovsk, and this was given to them at a high price, - claims the head of the syrskyi. the operation of the armed forces of ukraine in the kursk region forced the russians to urgently transfer troops from the zaporozhye and kharkiv directions to their territory, and this is already a success, the president says. one of the goals of kursk oblast is this the withdrawal of russian troops to their point, to their territory. now i already am. can communicate this, because they have collected about 60,000 already there today, they have withdrawn from some places where we were threatened with difficulties, because we did not have the same packages of weapons. in the kursk region, the armed forces continue to have the initiative, but the advance, as compared to the first weeks of the operation, is minimal. in the kharkiv direction, the front line is relatively stable. the enemy continues its assaults, but the defense forces also counterattack. in the area of ​​the temporal ravine

there are no enemies of success, although the situation is consistently difficult. it is also difficult in the kupyan direction. since the summer, the front has been under maximum tension, the battle for donbas is in full swing, a resolution is possible already this fall. the fall of pokrovsk could have extremely negative consequences for ukraine. sloviansk and kramatorsk will be under threat, and the russians will come closer than ever to their goal, to enter... the administrative borders of the donetsk region. the capture of pokrovsk also creates the prerequisites for an attack on dnipropetrovsk oblast, because there are no large agglomerations outside the city anymore, nor natural obstacles where the bsu could gain a foothold and successfully defend. if the defense forces manage to stop the russians on the approaches to pokrovsk or in the city itself, there will likely be a pause due to both the exhaustion of the parties and the rains, which will complicate the conduct of combat operations. actions, primarily

for heavy equipment, the parties will begin preparations for the winter campaign as early as 2025. the number of victims as a result of the russian the number of containers in pavlograd increased to 82 - serhiy lysak, the head of the dnipropetrovsk regional military administration, said. among those who five minors were injured. it is also currently known about one dead person. let me remind you that on september 6, the enemy bombarded the city with ballistic missiles. in addition, the attack caused damage to several businesses. more than 30 high-rise buildings, a kindergarten and about 30 shops were also damaged. as noted, the air force hit pavlograd with five north korean iskander missiles. the missiles were launched from the voronezh and rostov regions. i note that the city of pavlograd, in the dnipropetrovsk region, is under constant attacks by the russian troops

days of mourning were announced in two cities of ukraine this week. on september 2 , russia shelled the educational center in poltava. 55 people died there. 328 were injured. on the fourth in september , a terrorist country struck the central part of lviv. 66 injured, seven dead. more in the plot of my colleagues. search and rescue operations continued for more than two days at the site of a rocket attack on the building of the educational building, the institute of communication in poltava. 36 units of equipment and 215 rescuers worked at the place of arrival. now experts carry out identification of the extracted fragments of human bodies. in addition to the building of the educational center, the russian missile attack on september 3 damaged a hospital, an office building, three apartment buildings and five private houses. at the time of arrival, mr. ihor and his mother were in their apartment, the husband's house is adjacent to

the premises of the institute. i'm sitting like this, and there 's a match, well, this compressed air, huh, then it was sucked out by vacuum from that side, i thought two two explosions, it was literally one second. gap, you know, yeah, yeah, first of all, something, first of all, suddenly, yes, i am, yes, we just had breakfast, my mother gave us food, the doorbell rang, my feet got cold, oh-oh-oh, yes, oscar, show me, please, well, there are those here, it's not scary, the main thing is that the mother is healthy, according to the ministry of defense, the russian army used two ballistic missiles to... shell the city. the interval between the announcement of the alarm and the hit is two minutes. therefore , explosions caught people at the moment of evacuation to bomb shelters. the security service of ukraine in the poltava region opened a criminal case proceedings, within the framework of which, as of now,

appropriate measures are being taken. the investigation considers two versions at once: shelling with a corrector and with the participation of an enemy drone. the ground forces command initiated. conducting an investigation into the strike on the communications institute, they are doing it to see if enough was done to protect the lives of the military at the site of the strike. at the same time, the ministry of defense reported that there were no shocks at the educational institution during the missile attack. this is confirmed by the boss ihor mitsyuk united educational center. events related to some kind of shocking of people, some kind of gathering of people for something or other. there were briefings, some celebratory events, some oaths, i read on the internet everything was done there, no measures were taken, immediately after the shelling, local residents turned en masse to the regional blood transfusion station to help the victims, in lviv there were also queues at

blood donation points, over a hundred people came to the center of the first medical unit to support the wounded after the morning rocket-drone attack shelling at 4 a.m. russians attacked the city with daggers, hitting residential buildings in the frankivskyi and railway districts of the city. the rescue operation lasted more than six hours, the employees of the state service for emergency operations extinguished all sources of fire and dismantled the debris. it was possible to save 12 people, more than 150 rescuers and 38 special units were involved in liquidation of the consequences. technicians helped communal services and residents of affected houses. and the balcony is broken and the door is torn out, if it is not closed. i sneaked in from the front, i came along the way, i saw my comrades who

give their lives. and it would seem that 1,000 km away from the wind front, it will not be difficult, and here in a residential building, there are no strategic objects, and directly in a residential building. it's hard to say anything, 30 million hryvnias were allocated from the reserve fund of the regional budget and the same amount from the city treasury to overcome the consequences of the enemy attack. on compensation for residents whose homes were destroyed by a russian missile attack. first of all, it's about caring for people, it's already clear that out of six houses, we are moving people out and giving them away temporary shelter for living. for windows, first of all, now we will give people money, real money, 12 00 for each window, so that it can be installed. however, if the houses can be restored, then the lives of those who were taken away by the enemy will be restored. among the dead , the bazilevich family, mother evgenia and three daughters,

emilia, darina and yaryna, only the father survived. thousands of caring lviv residents came to see them on their last journey, most of them with fresh flowers in their hands, as requested by the friends of 21-year-old yaryna bazylevych, who buried the family at the lychakiv cemetery. emma stadnyk, kateryna oliynyk, roman kovalyuk, vitaly kolekha, espresso tv channel. the united states of america will provide a new military aid package worth 250 million dollars to ukraine. us defense minister lloyd osin stated during a meeting of the contact group on defense of ukraine at the ramstein air base in germany. germany also announced that it would send 12 self-propelled artillery units to the ukrainian army. and in cooperation with denmark and the netherlands, another 77 leopard tanks will be delivered. also. according to the results of the meeting, canada promised a large batch of engines for the armed forces aviation missiles and warheads for them,

the support of kyiv was also announced in the european commission. ursula funderlajen reported to the x social network page that the eu will allocate 40 million euros for the reconstruction of the ukrainian energy industry. iran provided russia with short-range ballistic missiles fath-360 to support the war against ukraine. this is not what the report of the institute for the study of war is about. the two aggressor countries signed agreements on this back in december last year. russia will probably use the ballistics provided by iran to strike ukrainian energy and military facilities and civil infrastructure during autumn and winter. analysts of the institute think so. iran is seeking to gain economic and military benefits from expanding its partnership with russia in exchange for ballistic missiles, which will allegedly receive russian su-35 fighter jets. a major

reboot or personnel rotation. the 12th session of the verkhovna rada began with a wave of dismissals and appointments of ministers. at once, nine government departments received new heads. who, for whom and why. in the material of my colleague kateryna galko. rumors about changes in the cab. ministers' nets have been going almost since the beginning of summer, they were talked about for weeks and every time they were asked about them. the reason for this was either the inefficiency of government officials, or their participation in corruption scandals, and even basic instability in the cabinet of ministers. as of the beginning of the week, five departments did not have permanent heads. the decision to reboot has been announced and postponed. and so. circle, until september brought a wind of change to the verkhovna rada, almost unexpectedly, at once six ministers and one

high-ranking officials submitted their resignations. on the first attempt , oleksandr kamyshchyn, olga stefanishyna, ruslan strilets and denys malyuska were released. rostislav shurma was also attacked by ope. the release of iryna veryshchuk, vitaly koval and dmytro kuleba was delayed from the first time. it did not succeed, but it succeeded the second time, this was preceded by an evening meeting of the servant of the people faction, which was attended by the president himself for the second time since the beginning of the full-scale war, and if the coalition contributed to the reboot, then the opposition neither the logic of rotations nor the lack of explanations and did not catch i invite everyone to support this, let's say, flash mob, to teach ministers to respect the parliament. who appoints them, we cannot get up and leave, we work, because we are part

of this country, we have to work as parliamentarians, they do not consider it necessary to even come and say what they have done, to the parliament hall with final speeches kamyshin, malyuska, koval and vereshchuk appeared, they were all met with ovations and still for some reason they were released. i solemnly swear allegiance to the ukrainian people, i pledge myself to the state. constitution of ukraine and laws of ukraine, to strengthen the sovereignty and independence of ukraine, to defend the rights and freedoms of man and citizen, to take care of the well-being of the ukrainian people, a stable democratic one. development of society. yes, in just one session day, nine government departments got new heads. andriy sebiga became the minister of foreign affairs, previously he was the first deputy of dmytro kuleba. olga stepanishyna, now the deputy prime minister for european and euro-atlantic integration,

minister of justice. her resignation was formal in order to combine the two portfolios. alexei khleba took the post of deputy prime minister for reconstruction, minister of development of communities and territories. oleksiy himself came to the cabinet from op. matviy bidny secured his position and is now not temporarily, but permanently, the head of the ministry of youth and sports. the new minister of environmental protection and natural resources, formerly the deputy minister of energy, svitlana grynchuk. the ministry of culture and strategic communications currently lacks a permanent head, the position was taken by diplomat and yermak's deputy mykola tochytskyi. natalia kalmykova used to be umirov's deputy, now she is the minister of veterans affairs. vitaly kovel, who headed the state property fund on the morning of the appointment, was appointed to the position of minister of agrarian policy and food. herman smetanin became the minister of

strategic industries. he is a new man, at the age of 31 he headed the... defense of prom. at the servants of the people faction , the president also talked about creating a new ministry for the return of ukrainians, but it is not there yet, as the issue with the head is open. it is very important that the government institutions were now working as actively as possible. even more active than it was before. at all levels. thus, in just two days , the cabinet was updated by almost half, but the head of government surprisingly turned out to be unemployed. a stronger player, because it was his dismissal that was discussed most actively and even bets were placed on successors, and denys shmyhal in the whirlwind of rotation stood and continues to hold the record for the longest tenure among all the heads of the government of independent ukraine.

it is certainly too early to judge the effectiveness of the new composition of his team, but in the president, as well as the entire nation, to the updated cabinet... a lot of demands and results, to say the least, the head of state expects already in the fall. the sudden resignation of a minister is not the first during the tenure of volodymyr zelenskyi, but it is certainly the biggest reshuffle of the government at the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, and the tradition remains unchanged. officials leave without a procedure for reporting to ministers and explaining the reasons for dismissal, but those who have not yet been listened to. there were scandals and still continue to work for the good of the country. they don't sleep day and night to find out information about the enemy's plans and play ahead. on september 7, ukraine celebrated the day of military intelligence. ukraine's success in the fight against the enemy depends on these people. during

the full-scale war, ukrainian intelligence carried out several large-scale and significant operations. let's remember the most important thing. together. vigilance is their main weapon. ukrainian scouts do everything in order to clearly hear and see the enemy, anticipate his plans, as well as determine strengths and weaknesses . thanks to unceasing work, now gur has an impressive list of victories over the aggressor, including the destruction of strategic military and energy targets deep in russia. march 21, 2022 will be the year of the gur warrior. the first flight to mariupol surrounded by the enemy to help the defenders of azovstal. a top-secret, top-danger air special operation at extremely low altitudes to save our soldiers ended in success. then it was possible to deliver medicines, provisions and ammunition, as well as to evacuate the seriously wounded. flying at a critically low altitude of a few meters helped to hide from the enemy

air defense may 8, 2022. russian scouts took part in a combat amphibious operation to liberate zmiiny island. groups of gurmo special forces and fighters of the anti-terrorist groups alpha and sbu took off to storm the island on helicopters. this attempt to land on the island became a so-called reconnaissance battle. then many military trophies were taken, and the russians suffered significant losses. all eight helicopters, which carried out rocket fire and landed groups of special forces on zmiino. returned to the bases unharmed. titsytsia is the code name of a military special operation reconnaissance, during which it was possible to lure a russian helicopter to the territory of ukraine. eight with crew. then the scouts were able to receive important information about the enemy's aircraft. russian pilot maksym kuzminov handed over mi-8 rotorcraft to ukraine. he was in contact with

ukrainian intelligence for six months, preparing to escape from the russian federation together with the aircraft. razvidka and kuzminov developed the flight corridor and on august 9, 2023, it started. the pilot was operating at ultra-low altitude and maintained radio silence. in the end. reached the goal, where he is safe met in ukraine. on january 4, 2024 , an su-34 tactical bomber burned down at the shagol airfield in chelyabinsk, russia. this is another impressive special operation of gurmo ukraine. by the way, chelyabinsk is more than 200 km from the front line. currently, gur uses unmanned surface vehicles for attacks on russian ones. ships and coastal structures. in particular, magura belongs to such unmanned aerial vehicles. on february 14 of this year, ukrainian forces destroyed

the large russian amphibious assault ship caesar kunikov in the black sea near alupka in the annexed crimea today, the successes of ukrainian scouts impress not only ukrainians, but the whole world. so it will be even hotter. tatyana golonova, espresso tv channel. believe everything. and our ukraine, and to know about the most important things, watch espresso, read our website and follow us on social networks and youtube, stay close, all the best! snow, physical activity, sneezing. even during such a small load, urinary incontinence can make itself felt. feminost uro helped me. thanks to the natural components feminost uro helps to regain control over urination feminonost uro - urination under control. september discounts on lakti ali. 20% in

ukraine. will have the kurdish region under control, because this is a component of the plan for victory in the russian-ukrainian war, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi stated this in an interview with the nbc channel: we do not need russian territory, i have always said that, our operations are aimed at to restore our territorial integrity, to us we don't need their people, their civilians, their citizens, we take military prisoners only in order to exchange them for ours. i have always said that the system of exchange of all for all, we are always ready, let us take away our troops, take away all our troops, we do not need them, and the same is true of our territories, we do not need their land, we do not want to go there to bring our ukrainian life, and i say this because i understand what international law is, and i understand what respect for

the sovereignty of one or another is. the state of ukraine this is the kind of state that is in the rules and in the laws, but today we must take appropriate steps to be stronger, and this operation, it strengthens the country, this is a fact, it does not mean that we will change one territory for another, but the following our steps, as i told you, it is difficult for me to report to you all. about these steps, why? because i told you that what you saw was part of our design. volodymyr zelenskyy explained that the operation in kurshchyna appeared, in particular, due to the insufficient amount of the necessary weapons, so the leadership was forced to look for an alternative to prevent a breakthrough in the north and east. that is, we initially expected about long-range, we expected that as a long-range weapon, it was small

- small, let's say. equipment, that is , we did not have enough of these means and not very many long-range missiles and shells, and we also had an understanding from our intelligence that russia plans to create this buffer zone, even putin and his entourage openly stated that they wanted to build along our border buffer zone of a certain number of kilometers deep into ours state, and we... understood that they would not stop, they made a breakthrough in the kharkiv region, thank god, we were able to stop them there and did not let them occupy kharkiv, after that we had signals that they could do it in the middle of the night, sumyshchyna, chernihivshchyna, and for us it would be a very serious challenge, i know that they did not give up on these plans, and then we realized that we needed

a suitable... to carry out an operation so that the buffer zone was not created by them in our country, but us, so that we would not later repel their attacks, as was the case in kharkiv, and losing territory and people, on the contrary, to do something unexpected, and this operation appeared. the president of ukraine stated that he could not reveal the details and plans of the kursk operation, but noted that this is only the beginning. at the same time, the head of state told how the exchange rate operation affects... the situation in pokrovsk, they say, and what do you think of pokrovsk? did they leave all their strength to pokrovsky? yes, they pulled away from zaporizhzhia region, they pulled away from kherson region, but they didn't pull away from pokrovsk. yes, pokrovsk is very difficult. but the blows are not one to 12, but 1/3. do you understand the difference between 1.3 and od12?
