soon the ring will close, and we will be surrounded, surrender, you will live, come on, you can say they have already approached, i asked whose you are, my friend, be quiet, i raised my head and saw blue tape on the fairy tale, men, men, let's go out, we surrender, if you want to live, let's go, they filled their pockets and left, the goats abandoned us. damn how many guys? we took part in this column, so my boys shouted: we must, we must strike, we must prevent this column, because it was moving towards us. therefore, it was very beautiful and very, i would say yes, good hunting. in almost a month. offensive in the kursk region of the armed forces of ukraine,

according to the general staff, almost 1,300 km of russian territory and more than 100 settlements were taken under control. russia does not officially confirm these figures. meanwhile, ukrainian troops continue to advance. in this edition of donbas realia, we will talk about the progress and significance of this military operation with its direct participants, as well as show what is happening now in the russian city of suja, which is now under the control of. my name is ihor loginov, congratulations.

in the district center of suja , you will hardly meet locals on the streets, most have left, those who remain, mostly pensioners, are sitting in basements. i slept well last night, today was the only night when i got enough sleep, there were no such bugs today, except that there was only one night and that was it. i don't have a basement at all, i live in an apartment, i came here in numbers, i came here for... now it is an order of magnitude more dangerous in suji than, for example, a week ago, russian troops are regularly shelling the city and populated areas around it with mortars and artillery, many local residents, for whom the russian authorities have not yet created a humanitarian corridor, are being asked to evacuate them to the territory of ukraine. they filled their pockets and left, the goats abandoned us. we need to kill

a goat, feed them, but no, they don’t insult us , they feed us, they give us water, well done, and the canteen, and they give me inhalers, that’s all, they give me medicine, injections, i don’t have lungs, i came yesterday, the day before yesterday, they gave me an inhaler , the enemy has already started applying artillery fire. so and so cabs, but cabs at night, again, on businesses that remain, respectively, with the goal that we cannot use them in the future, on places where they try to detect us, or they think we are there, respectively, this is applied in the settlement, and every day, unfortunately, more and more destruction occurs. the offensive of zaesu in

kursk region began on august 6 and proceeded rapidly. according to western osin analysts, ukrainian troops captured the suja border crossing in two days and broke through two defense lines of the russian army. took the first prisoners. the main stealth training measures were carried out. the movement of units, accordingly, first of all, this organization was the transfer of information, a limited circle of people, access, of course, the same, also a limited circle, and accordingly, the purpose of the movement was already proven by the unit in fact, before the task had already been completed, no, why are the units here moved, for which operation and in general.

what is planned next, due to this, we managed to hide from the enemy additionally disinformation worked in the same way, the enemy to end of thinking that we will renew the position along the state border in the kharkiv area, we knew every step, we knew, uh , near which tree we had to pass, we understood where our equipment would go, we understood how the barrier would be passed, we understood how we will dig ditches, we understood everything, we directed, oh, our, to the right suja. to the left of the amount, i was personally shocked that we would go there, but with a heavy head we got on the bmp with a group of our brothers, we were already ready to go there. in the first days of the offensive experienced

units of the armed forces of ukraine were opposed mainly by conscript soldiers. the exception was drg groups, which previously staged sabotage in the sumy region. we also encountered a group of drg, which we successfully crushed, so that two were taken prisoners, all the rest. do you understand who the drg group is? the drg are well -trained soldiers, regardless of whether they were ukrainians there or, well, in our country, the distance between them was 100 meters across the pond, and they did not know that we were there. that's why we entered so successfully, the goddess led us, secured us, the first group gave me a report on what they saw a group moving without identification marks with good equipment,

we fixed them, let them get closer, i fired with an rpg, 5,200 at once, the rest, one was unharmed, three were, well, wounded in the legs, that is... the russian military surrendered as prisoners and one by one and en masse, later the commander-in-chief of the armed forces oleksandr syrsky announced the figure: the exchange fund was replenished by 594 people. men, men, let's get out, surrender, if you want to live, surrender. first, it is the environment. they understand that they can kill there, to put it roughly there, the first ones to they entered, but then they couldn't get out of there, well , there were such cases that one or two soldiers surrounded 5-10 or more soldiers there,

there were such cases when one officer came out and said, i have more a bunch of people, we are ready to surrender, well, don't kill, and they surrendered. and secondly, well, they understood that the car was coming, it was not just an event there to show off, but the army was already coming, coming with tanks, coming with reed kitchens and fuel, the foreman, the foreman or whoever told not to go out, our soldiers conscripts captured, major, two ensigns, the major identified all of them himself , well, he understands that they are so...

a hundred, servicemen surrendered as prisoners, according to which there really was no such thing during the entire, in fact, full-scale war. donbass reality managed to communicate with russian prisoners of war. from the conversation it became clear that they were poorly armed,

disoriented, and their command ignored signals about the upcoming offensive for isa. they began to attack us densely, and the larger caliber began to bombard us with mortars. we started tight, already a larger caliber began to be thrown with a mortar, they dismantled our support with a thermobar, the support was large, and they cut us off from the second part, reduced us, and one position where we were supposed to go into formation was blocked, at night it became more difficult, there the babayaga flew constantly, and it was as if they were throwing, we went to officer's office to find out what to expect, what our next steps are, whether someone will come, or what to do, they have not been told anything yet. this is the sixth number, when the entry began, exactly that massed one, well, first there was

preparation, on the sixth day, when the entry began just such a massive one, well, at first there was preparation, somewhere on the fourth , more massive shelling began, more aircraft from ukraine, and fpv drones, began to be used more, and they began to drop more, so if by the 6th we already had contact with there was no command and... at that time we already understood ourselves, based on the situation, from what was happening on the right side, we also had a bird, this mavik, we raised it, watched, watched the entry of troops from one side, on the other hand, and understood that, in principle, soon the ring should close, and we will be surrounded, you had a weapon, there is a radio, take it, i can turn on the password, enter it, come on, enter the password, help please. chaos and panic among the russian military led to the fact that they simply abandoned

their positions, the majority, according to the soldiers of the armed forces, surrendered, officers are, soldiers, found the position of our mines, rapier, found the position of ours, mortar, rapier, here they came there and decided to look for water and food there, found some water and a jar of stew, ate, drank and decided for about an hour... lie down and then go. then we heard a feeling that someone was working with our rapier, the sergeant ordered us to go and check. well, a friend noticed people, we decided to hide. then, when they began to approach closer, they already, one might say, approached. i asked: whose friend are you, shut up? i raised my head and saw blue tape on the fairy tale. i realized that if it wasn't ours, that at that moment, somewhere about 100-120 m from the left side and from the right side , two mortars were working. we are surrounded.

was under the fire of artillery and tanks, us on there were about 20 checkpoints, and from the nearest strongholds that were there, those who managed survived, somehow they all got to us and here they were already trying to organize something like defense, well, with machine guns, how to organize defense against tanks and artillery? it's a defense to organize against tanks and artillery, serhiy is an anti-tanker, he is the only one. of the prisoners of war interviewed by us who have experience of hostilities in the donbass, the rest, according

to them, during the entire period of the full-scale war of russia against ukraine stood on border and did not take part in the battles. serhiy was brought to the kursk region for reinforcement, as he claims, on the day of the ukrainian offensive. they gave me a machine gun, one horn, and gave me an installation. they gave me a machine gun, one plug and gave me an installation. i'm asking, but... i wanted to shoot back, the machine gun jerked, i wanted to shoot, i fired two shots, the machine jammed in me, that's it, neither there nor back, and i can't remove the horn, nothing, i dropped the machine gun and ran, i was thinking there i will ask someone, they were already shouting anyway, there were three, two hundred, i thought i would take someone's machine gun, there was two resets, a fragment got into one of my hands and... in the first car, we were sent the heavy,

sick, who were very heavy, then another car left, then those who were not so badly injured were riding in two cars, and now we were driving along the road, two cars and a quad bike, from the bushes from the plantation, all the cars were fired upon, which... so, friends, i will make a brief report, we climbed almost the entire suja, we are almost in the very center, we just came from there, on the third the day of the operation of ukrainian troops, according to the institute for the study of war in in some areas broke through

35 km deep into russian territory and controlled the western part of the soviet union, the area of ​​occupied territory reached the main such task of my brigade was the capture of suja itself, the entire city and village, which are next to suja. the brigade fulfilled the task, i.e. without massive destruction, accordingly, the rest of the houses, i.e. the civilian population, were also allowed to pass by us as much as possible. for departure, accordingly, it also created positive conditions for us, that a large number of civilian cars filled the roads and it was more difficult for the enemy to advance with his reserve. the army of the russian federation did not immediately begin to pull up reserves to the kursk region. at first, the russian military leadership declared that the situation was under control and that the armed forces had been pushed to the state

border. the group "strengthening the protection of the state cordo" was deployed on the territory of the kursk region. which consisted of military personnel of the insurance service and battalions, which were withdrawn to restore combat capability to relatively quiet, peaceful places such as kursk, belgorod, bryansk areas for replenishment, reformation, resupply, treatment there and so on. people came there to put themselves in order, by no means to fight, therefore... to the already mentioned moral unpreparedness for conducting intensive combat operations against an enemy that knows, knows how and wants to fulfill its combat task, their group turned out to be completely unprepared , now the territory satiated according to the chechen model in what came to hand, from this

motley collective farm they are trying to create... a sort of military group, but this the head of the federal security service appointed from moscow is busy, colonel general dyumin, who made a career in the state guard of the russian federation, was appointed as the coordinator, i don't know at all what they were counting on. military personnel of the russian federation, military personnel of the russian federation, your command has abandoned you. go, go, go. ukrainian intelligence, according to the participants of the operation , tried to identify the routes of movement of reserve units in advance and break them up on the approach, for example, like this column in the area of ​​the village of zhovtneve. according to various estimates western experts, in this case the losses of the russian army ranged from 200 to 500 people. how many boys we were taking part

in a... column, so my boys were shouting, we have to, we have to hit, we have to stop this column because it was moving towards us, so if it was very beautiful and very, i would say yes, good hunting, i would didn't say that we understood that there was a lot of infantry there, we saw vehicles that were moving in a column at night, and we stopped them, and we already saw what was there in the morning, only on... the day of the offensive in ukraine , the russian military more or less succeeded stabilize the situation. at that time, according to the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces oleksandr syrskyi, the ukrainian army already controlled more than 1,000 km of the territory of the kursk region. i think that on the eve of this operation

, the ukrainian government assessed the trajectory of the war. the government saw that nato was not changing its strategy, sticking to its position. to help ukraine stay afloat, but no more. the us administration probably wasn't going to make any major changes until next year. she has no strategy. russia's strategy remains the subjugation of ukraine. that's why i i think that president zelensky and his advisers believed that only ukraine could change the status quo of the war, change the trajectory of the war, and the course operation became the means by which they tried to achieve this. now i think that... the strategic goal is correct, whether the kursk campaign will achieve it in time remains to be seen. the enemy has no reserves, they formed two armies last year, both of them are already engaged in combat operations and do not

rest at all, the enemy lacked operational reserves even to build up its efforts in the pokrovsk direction, therefore , in order to somehow respond to our invasion of the kurt region, the enemy took combat units from the front. from those who have already reached the kursk region, i see two marine infantry brigades, 155,810, the 11th assault brigade, which went there under the knife, under the knife of the russian paratroopers, three rifle battalions of the mobilization reserve were replaced, several military units went there as well from the warehouse to combat divisions, pulled out of separate brigades into battalion tactical groups, all this now, who has arrived, who is still arriving,

is being deployed there, an operational structure is being created in order, if not to stop our troops, then at least to limit their opportunities for maneuvering and advancing in depth, somewhere the enemy there today can count up to 6- 8 brigades, it is no longer possible to make big leaps, but still we are still advancing, we are not stopped, we can say that the enemy is not entrenched, for the units that arrive here, this is still a new area, they are not yet orienting themselves very well, so accordingly we have the advantage is that more fire damage is inflicted. i don't think we will see too many territories occupied by ukrainians. i think, at least in the short to medium term, they will identify an area that is easier for them to defend, that

they can support logistically, that they can cover with air defenses, and that they can use to destroy as many russian forces as possible that are going to be against them thrown in the coming weeks. from a military point of view, we have already achieved the creation of a certain. sanitary border and the number of artillery fire on the territory of the sumy region has radically decreased. the enemy is capable of using only aviation means of attack and missiles, because there is no physical possibility to shoot along the border of sumy oblast, this is the first thing that we have already received, but the second thing is that i think that the military command is working on creating a threat in... the enemy got into a situation

of strategic uncertainty and is forced to divert available forces and means from other directions in order to counteract the new threat on the territory of the kursk region. as stated by the head under oleksandr syrskyi, the russian army has already transferred about 30,000 people to the kursk region, including from the kharkiv and kherson directions of the front, but not from pokrovsky in donbas, which was apparently what the ukrainian military command was counting on. it is there, no matter what, that russia throws all its main reserves. these were donbas realities, my name is yehor loginov, see you soon. in september, there are discounts on kombi flu, 20% in pharmacies, plantain, bam and savings. fm,

you and i will see, but also a work about the unfortunate russian soldiers from a person who made several films for rasha today, and now she made a tape, someone sent her to the occupied territories, and she spent seven months, it seems, with the russian military, and made an incredibly sympathetic film about them, like ordered people who watched it. today we will also talk about our tapes, because we will talk with the director of one of these films, olga zorba, and we will also talk about russian propaganda, how to fight it in general, and whether we have enough information state policy to do this, but before that, we will talk about a topic directly related to this, which actually has a very... great weight, now

we have this ministry of culture and information policy, it got a new head, it got new name, the department will now be called the ministry of culture and strategic communications, it was headed by mykola tochytskyi, a diplomat with many years of experience, which caused quite different opinions among different people, people's deputies and artists. well , opinions were divided roughly like this, some who did not understand this step said, what is a diplomat here at all, if we are talking about culture, about information policy, about some kind of communications, about countering disinformation, and here is a diplomat, he was thrown, as iryna gerashchenko wrote in a field completely unfamiliar to him, others said no, for example, artists, for example, denys ivanov, distributor and producer, he said that he cooperated with

mr. mykola once and said that he had an absolutely adequate vision of culture, understands its importance, and may well fit into the ministry, which, let me remind you, is constantly criticized in one way or another, so he can become a minister who, well, at least will not be actively criticized. mr. mykola, another such trigger for ukrainian society, he is a teammate of andriy yermak, the head of the president's office, and he has been his deputy since... april, before that he was the deputy minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, and even before that he was engaged in diplomatic activities in various countries, in belgium, in luxembourg , and he has two educations, one legal, actually, the institute of international relations, where he studied together with andriy yarmak, and even earlier he graduated from the faculty of french and english philology, he is engaged in...
