experts of the institute for the study of war claim that the russians will face significant difficulties during counterattacks in kurshchyna, quoting the institute for the study of war. russian forces continued to counterattack across the ukrainian front in kursk oblast on 12 september, but achieved only modest gains, likely due to continued ukrainian offensive operations and defensive counterattacks in the area. russian troops achieved minor, minor successes to the west of vyshnyvka, that is, to the southwest of korenevoy and to the north krasnooktyabrskyi, southwest of korenevoy, and the ministry of defense of the aggressor state said that russian troops recaptured 10 settlements, which is most likely not true. analysts note that the listed settlements are within the limits. the existing declared line

of russian advance, and the institute for the study of war did not record visual confirmation that russian troops recaptured any of those settlements, which are claimed by the russian ministry of defense. well, we are now moving to bahmud direction of yar times. oleg kalashnikov, press officer of the 26th artillery brigade named after general khorunju roman dashkevich, is already in touch with us. mr. oleg, we are glad. thank you, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, congratulations to the country, please share the operational situation in your direction, what is happening, how intensively the enemy is now trying to advance and what actions he is taking now, well, before everything we saw, literally, what he was trying to do such internal movements, somewhere he strengthened some of his assault groups, and we see how he starts again...

to attack us more intensively this time, but literally we are already watching, it is directly chasiv, this direction is ivanivsky, these are mortars for today, but these are not his permanent directions, he still tries to maneuver in the directions , in order to feel more or less such a place, a weak place for him, well, of course , all the means that he has here work for fire damage. so the connection is not very stable, we are talking about the situation in the bakhmut direction, in particular we are talking about chasivyar, so oleg kalashnikov, from we are the press officer of the 26th artillery brigade named after general khorundzhy roman dashkevich, mr. press officer, please continue, please, there was something wrong with the sound, it was like that before the communication, so he answered your first question, what is the next one, and the next one which one well, the enemy,

we understand, is trying to attack, yes, but when they fail in infantry assaults, we understand that they use artillery, and you, as a person who works in the relevant artillery unit, very well, i think, navigate, navigate that that called intensity, maybe an increase, and maybe the same number of shelling per day, yes, and what calibers is the enemy using most actively now, and is there a feeling that they are starting to save? ammunition, in particular 152nd and 155th calibers. well, i will start with mortars, because 100 mm mortars are also barrel artillery, but today we see presented mortars of various calibers, why i start with the mortar component, because today on the battlefield it is mortar fire damage, it practically takes the first place, because there are... direct combat clashes,

clashes between infantry, and mortars precisely support the infantry, so in this case mortars work very intensively, in second place you could say that cefividrons, fipivrons with resets and directly kamikazes are in second place, and so somewhere in the third place today on our site, it is the artillery that works, artillery of various calibers from 100. e 22 caliber e to 152, well , tanks that do not directly storm can also be connected to the fire damage, but where they can to be in kapanirs, camouflaged and support, let's say such fire damage, today russian artillery is represented more, it is towed artillery, howitzer towed artillery, because they really have self-propelled guns for almost three years and their active eyes...

phases they really have very- decreased a lot, if you take the 152 caliber, then systems like hyacinth, they also became smaller, because there are not enough shells for them. if you take the amount of fire damage from artillery at all, then they try to keep it at the same level. i understand that they use shots not only of their own production, but also those that come to them from iran and from north korea. by the way, the minister of defense of russia, a war criminal, well, the former minister of defense, now the secretary of the security council , whose russian surname is sheigu, met with his north koreans again. by the way, and we understand that it was more likely about additional artillery shells, we understand that there is a lot of that stuff in warehouses in north korea, so we understand that it may not be of such quality, but here it is a matter of quantity, and according to the timely delivery, if

we evaluate, for example, the same north korean or some other iranian projectiles, indeed, they have their own defects during the test. issues, both defects with powders, directly, and defects with the shells themselves, moreover, they are supplied to us not only for the creation of artillery, but also for the bm-21 grad itself, but nevertheless, no matter what, this weapon destroys, it still works, let eight out of ten shots fly at us, two destroy their cannon, that system, but none the less they fly to our positions, they fly to our people, that is, nevertheless... nevertheless, it still works, they are the eyes, the criminal boys help each other in this, to be honest, this is a terrorist war. ugh, mr. kalashnikov, i wanted to ask you in general about the situation with enemy assaults in the chasoyariv

direction, whether these meaty assaults with the use of a huge number of personnel will continue in the future, or whether the enemy somehow exhausts these reserves. personnel, and they have to arrange less precisely those meat assaults, is there a feeling that they do not have an unlimited number of people, and the rest, and in the end they also have to not only think about a greater number of those assaults, but they somehow try to think them through in more detail, so that after all still less of their personnel was liquidated at the same time. if we even look at the reports of the general staff, at least for a month, we can see that on some days there may be up to 20 assaults in our direction, these are infantry assaults without the involvement of a mechanized component, on some days around five, that is, this indicates that, as you

said, they do not have such an inexhaustible resource, nevertheless, the combat effectiveness of the units decreases, they are forced to reformat these units, replenish and throw them again, but they are trying... the intensity of the infantry assaults should still be kept at a more or less active level in order not to give us the opportunity to breathe, not to give us the opportunity to carry out our tactical actions, that is, they constantly keep us in such a state of tension, and here it happens that assaults can really to go to some position, well, a wave after a wave, one is destroyed and immediately and immediately the others go, it’s really like that, and there are such more or less isolated assaults, when they on... try to storm a position, they didn’t succeed, and there is such a pause, and always before their artillery works with assaults, mortars work and also support their assaults with beer drones, and the air force is kabi, because avdiivka was actually the city where the enemy

used kabi very actively, and unfortunately this strategy of his firing kabi worked, can they now freely, i mean freely their aviation tactical itself can? are there certain difficulties for them and they can't really afford it now either? by the way, much less, much less than we could see in the spring at the beginning of the summer, there is a reason for this and the fact that we know that in our direction their planes were still being destroyed, no matter what, and that not least because they have a lot of kabis, but they require time to prepare, and therefore they are forced. to use them in other directions, where they consider today it is more valuable for themselves, and therefore in our direction they have significantly decreased. look, mr. pro-officer, i would like to ask you about the above -mentioned fpv drones, we understand that the enemy is not only hunting for certain

objects, it is not even about specific fighters, yes, their priority is to hunt not for heavy even armored vehicles, in your situation - this is art. and accordingly, the situation with reb, how can this case be neutralized at all, because we understand that they are looking for heavy artillery first of all, and maybe one or the other... long-range missile systems, i won’t mention haimars, you know, this friday, how about the attacks of the russian fpivishoks and how to counter them, please tell me, please, it’s really true that today is a counter-battery fight, it is very significant such a part, it really belongs to bepela uavs and uavs with resets, of course different calibers are used. vid bpela, if you take our caliber, which is somewhat behind the first line, then here we

are taught more by lancets, kamikaze lancets, really we have to fight with them, if we take our front line, then we still try to saturate it with rep systems, rep systems directly of medium, short range, and rep systems that we know as such are called trenches, that is, really. then we try to detect them, detect them in advance, if it is possible to cleanly leave them in control, so that the oppressors cannot control, and nevertheless, no matter how strange it sounds, we manage to attack them with small arms, because here in our brigade there are more than a few cases when we managed to do it, and of course, in this case, the engineering basking of the equipment is of great importance, so that... it would be more difficult for them to detect it, and we, in turn, so that we could detect such a threat earlier, but

nevertheless, it is very this is how the mobile struggle goes, the enemy tries to constantly change frequencies, when he finds out that we have managed to find his frequency and broadcast this frequency, he tries to change the frequencies in his bpela means, and it is permanent. basis, everything is very dynamic, very mobile, the enemy is learning, we are in we also learn in turn, and this is a kind of confrontation between technologies. but you mentioned the kamikaze lancets, please tell espresso viewers what their specifics are, right? well, i would like to remind you that we regularly do, the espresso tv channel holds regular meetings for the needs of our fighters, but now you see, we usually collect the qr code for drones of various modifications and for ret. rap is protection. reps are devices that neutralize the operation of russian drones.

i will repeat myself once more. the russians hunt not only for heavy equipment, but for individual fighters, that is, they have a pretty good history with drones, they take, so to speak, in quantity, yes. well, but kamikaze lancets, what are the specifics, how many of them are there, and maybe some new modifications have appeared, if, of course, it is not some kind of ... secret information ee well lancets they work, make sure to pair with bpola scouts, this or orlan or hall , that is, those who detect and then thanks to them the blow is directed directly, in general , lancets also work in pairs, that is , one can attack, then the second immediately attacks, if you take them for them, then they are quite similar inexpensive at the factory, however, their action is quite good, if at the beginning we saw lancets that had only one charge,

a cumulative charge that could burn through armor, reach either gunpowder or shells, and there was already an explosion, then today, due to the fact that engineering masking, engineering protection directly of our equipment has begun to be applied, today we see. we can already see two charges, that is, one charge tries to burn the protection, and the second charge directly tries to burn the armor combat vehicle, and of course to carry out its detonation, that is, we can say that their technologies are also changing, they are also directly adapting their innovative weapons, which we see today, if we take a look. then at one time there were very, very many of them, because they really put them on the stream there,

but it is impossible to say that there is a constant number of them, rather it depends on when they leave the batch from the factory and it comes to the front, that is, it happens when there are more of them, it happens when they are somewhat are running out and the number of them is decreasing, thank you mr. oleg, oleg kalashnikov, press officer of the 26th artillery brigade named after general khorunzhy roman deshkevych from the bahamud direction was in direct contact with us and antin has already reminded you of our collection and so have i that. i would like to remind you how much we have already collected with you, we have accumulated 1,811,358 uah in our account, our goal with you is 3.5 million uah, and you can now see a qr code that you can scan and join this collection for drones and the slaves we want buy for three brigades, the third separate assault brigade, the 110th and 47th brigades, they

details on official pages. sbu the information day of the tv channel continues. in 10.3 hours. well, let's inform about all the most important things. now we will talk about the situation in dnipropetrovsk region. kateryna nemchenko, deputy of the dnipropetrovsk regional council. glory to ukraine. mrs. kateryna. glory to the heroes. congratulations. well, first of all we would like to ask you about the operational, so-called situation. we understand that there are airstrikes and shelling. well, in general, not so far from. administrative borders of dnipropetrovsk and donetsk regions, so we understand how active the enemy is now in the pokrovsky direction and we understand that perhaps they would like to develop their offensives. and in the direction of dnipropetrovsk region, i think there is no secret in this, our command also understands this whole matter, but we would simply ask you to describe what is happening in dnipropetrovsk region now? if we talk about

today's day and the consequences of the shelling, which is constantly carried out in our nikopol region, from the occupied energy supply of the territory, then as of today we have shelling with heavy artillery and hail on nikopol and marhanets and on... unfortunately, even today we have a wounded person, a woman, 70 years old, who received a head wound due to the heavy artillery attacks in her house, he is now in the hospital in a moderate condition , well, there is hope that nothing threatens his life, but still the doctors are doing their job, and such cases are no longer news in our country, therefore... even for that, unfortunately, already does not pay such very acute attention, because shelling of nikopol is already on the agenda of all news and in principle on our agenda.

if we talk about the situation in the dnipro region in general, there have been no shellings in the last day except for nikopol region, but there is such a dynamic that the enemy is really approaching, unfortunately, to the kor. dnipropetrovsk oblast from the direction of donetsk oblast and communities that are very close to the borders with donetsk oblast, they are beginning to suffer from shelling and the consequences more than before, and people are beginning to think about whether to leave or not to leave, and in general , what will be the next follow-up actions, that is , of course, we are not talking about the city of dnipro, now, but we are talking about the community. there are settlements, villages, small towns that are close , you know, usually this is an important story, and we also have to somehow reflect it, that is

, on the one hand, we understand that there is a possible increase in the number of internally displaced persons from the donetsk region, yes, i don't know, where are the evacuation trains taking them, well, maybe they stop in dnipropetrovsk region, maybe some of them are moving on, but panicky moods among the population, well, not panicky, well, but people... come out of reality, yes, if the enemy uses a rifle, uses aviation, cabs and so on, then people from villages, district centers , which are adjacent to the administrative border with the donetsk region, are trying to move, and accordingly, please give me a certain psychological, socio-psychological growth, how people are now reacting to the approach of the war to the administrative border of the dnipropetrovsk region, well, how can you react to this for... people, of course believe in our army, in the fact that we will repulse the enemy, or at least not let him get closer than he is there now, but according to surveys

conducted by other local forces in these communities, which are adjacent to the territories , people still do not want to leave until the very end, even if the population there is not plus 50, 50 plus, yes, the population there is 30 all. 30-40 years, still people do not want to leave, because they understand that if they leave, they will actually become real internally displaced persons, and people all say, well, in general, that they will wait, wait, if there is a deterioration, if it advances further, comes closer, there will be more shelling, then people will leave, well, probably somewhere further away, for now they still try to stay at home, but in dnipropetrovsk region. there is, of course, well, not so big, probably, a percentage remains only in the dnipro, of those who go from the donetsk region, yes, well, in principle

, there are a lot of internally displaced persons in the dnipropetrovsk region, at first a full-scale invasion, so we cannot say about such a sharp growth, but there is an influx of new people, well, but in principle, by the way, new people, they settle in dnipro, or they continue to go to the west of the country, because... last week, ukrzaliznytsia said that everything, it is stopping railway connection with pokrovsk, it is very dangerous, and now, in order to advance further to the west of ukraine, people have to take buses from pokrovsk to pavlograd, and there already change to some railway connection that will take them to lviv, for example, or to other bridge, or many of those people remain in the dnipro, or after all, when people are forced to leave pokrovsk, they will search, for the most part. anyone shelter away from the front line? well , it is not possible to give any general statistics here, because many people stay in the dnipro first, and then after there... a week

or several days go further, that is, there is also such a dynamic, it is difficult to make a general one now, there is still no such thing as it was some kind of statistics already summarized there, but what i can say from my knowledge about it is that few people remains precisely in the dnipro, that is why they generally go further, but there is a percentage that remains, that is why we have also organized a lot of hubs for immigrants already from... the administration, now he is no longer in office, but you know, now this scandal has already caught up with him the story that was told by journalists, and yesterday was actually the reaction of our law enforcement officers, nabu was informed of the suspicion, and he suspects that there were

certain devices at the construction site. or maybe his roommate or lover or whoever it was before that was repairing the roads involved, what is being said on the ground about this story now, are you personally and your colleagues there surprised, maybe the deputies, that now they came to nabu in a frenzy, well, in fact , there is no surprise, because in principle , this story with slightly different accents has been around before, that is, this is not the first... not the first suspicion, not the first accusation, well, it is now official, it exists, but this situation, which is also referred to by others, they were gaining publicity even before that, so it is not something so new, no something that you can pay attention to now and be surprised, no, unfortunately it is that only he was the only suspect, i meant, did you possibly expect that it

would be faster after these facts became known, you understand exactly on the spot who is responsible for what and who may be in which schemes involved? the investigation was conducted after the investigation, the local self-government bodies, unfortunately, they do not have any influence, no special access, this is already our law enforcement activity taking place in this way, so this is already a question of investigation, the public cannot influence it in any way, because it is there certain... some facts that are not disclosed, it is emphasized that everything is done the way it should be done, so it's good that it's official now, but what it will be, it was logical, it's good that it's not now there was just such a moment, you know, as our president tells us, that he has everything under control and everything according to the ukrainian plan, what is the ukrainian plan, what is happening now, i don't know, maybe he... you know,

something is wrong with us says, but law enforcement officers sometimes act in exactly the same way according to their plan, which is known only to them, but unfortunately, not it always ends up being positive for society. so, thank you, mrs. kateryna, kateryna nemchenko, deputy of the dnipropetrovsk regional council, about the situation in the region itself, in particular, about the scandal with former high-ranking officials and his henchmen, but the key story is yes, it is an echo of the war. which is approaching the dnipropetrovsk region, pavlograd, we understand, a large city, 100 thousand population, yes, which is located somewhere around 100 km, well , maybe plus or minus there from the front line, well, an extremely important conversation, thank you kateryna nemchenko, well, now it's 15 o'clock on the clock, which means that it's news time on the espresso tv channel, and i'm now pleased to pass the floor to my colleague iryna koval, who with

the news editor has already managed to prepare... a selection of current news for you and me . iro, i pass on the floor and please share what you managed to find out. thank you marta, in a moment i will tell you about our return home, and also about help for ukraine, so wait. it's 3 p.m. in ukraine and we have a news release on the espresso tv channel for your attention. in iryna's studio blacksmith. greetings to all viewers. ukraine has returned another 49 of our citizens from russian captivity - announced president volodymyr zelenskyi. these are soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine, the national guard and the police, the state border service, as well as civilians. after two years of captivity, 15 defenders were freed and...
