of america, this is also the presentation of different plans, different visions of how the war in ukraine should end, and of course, today we will traditionally consult with you and ask you what your opinion is about these events that took place last week, more precisely, regarding zelensky's visit to the united states america, so our traditional survey today sounds as follows: the result of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america? if so, then absolutely free you can take your phones or smartphones and dial 0800 211 381, if you think no, this visit was actually, or you are not satisfied with this visit 0800 211 382. at the end of this hour we will sum up the interim results , at the end of the next one. will be final, and of course

the first part of our conversation, the first expert, the first, the first thoughts are actually about the situation on the front, it is about a war that is ongoing, and which, unfortunately, will continue. so today we have dmytro snigerev, a military expert, co-leader of the public initiative prasva prasva, mr. dmytro, live on the air. we are glad to see you on the espresso tv channel. good evening, glory to ukraine. kudos to the heroes, thank you for the invitation. mr. dmytro, we will start, of course, with the operational situation, what is happening in the east of our country. so, if we talk about the situation, the russian invaders continue to storm the positions of the ukrainian defense forces. we see that in total, since the beginning, even today , there have been more than 80 combat clashes. well

, of course, the most active directions are the ughledar, pokrovsky, chasovoy yar directions, and the kup'in direction, by the way, we will talk about this in more detail. general staff of the armed forces of ukraine informs about this in general. as for kupyan region, we, more precisely, in the direction of kupyansk and the district, we, of course, see that there are attempts to break through there, there are attempts to put pressure on the positions of the defense forces. in particular, the enemy is preparing new attempts major assaults in the kupinsky direction. this was reported on the air by espresso, the deputy commander of the shock battalion. bepak achilles of the 92nd brigade oles malyarevich. let's hear what he had to say. the goal there is completely clear to everyone - it is to capture the entire left bank of the oskil river. and they, without putting

efforts, lives and loss of their resources, go to this goal. for the last few days , they have not had any territorial forgetfulness. sure, this is my personal such, subjective opinion that they are preparing a new, new attempts of assaults are so big, and so far they are small groups are trying to pass there from the left to the right, there is a little bit of infantry there in the center, somewhere there is one bmp, we are fully observing everything, we are conducting reconnaissance, we are working on what we see, mr. dmytro, we have heard the opinion, and in general regarding the kupyan direction, even if you look at the maps... there really has been an advance of russian forces in the last few weeks, even though it is insignificant. how do you assess the situation there in general, how threatening is it, now, by the way, on the maps you can see such a wedge, which are trying, through which

the rashists are trying to advance. your position, your opinion, how threatening it all is and what to expect next, in the near future. well, first of all, i would not separate the kupyansk and lymansk directions until recently there were reports about the situation on the kupyansk-lymansk direction, this is a total length of up to 150 km. accordingly, the situation that is happening in this direction, well, indicates the plans of the occupiers regarding the exit in the area of ​​the liman direction, respectively, this is after the capture of the settlement of nevske directly on... this is a strategic and logistical area at the expense of this section of the front. in the vovchan direction, there is a tactical initiative by the armed forces of ukraine. after the successful de-occupation operation of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense of ukraine with the complete liberation

of the vovchansk aggregate plant , further prerequisites were created for the liberation of the entire territory of volchansk, accordingly, the successful nature of counteroffensive operations. in the area of ​​hlyboka lepka, for today, according to information, russian occupiers tried to improve their tactical position in the direction of movchansk, up to two dozen units of armored vehicles were involved, including 17 armored personnel carriers, three tanks, etc., but due to the efforts of the armed forces of ukraine, most of the enemy armored vehicles were turned into scrap metal and, accordingly, another number, namely 2 tanks and one mtlb, was able to withdraw directly in the zone of defeat of our defenders, that is, the occupiers do not receive attempts to push through the defense of the armed forces of ukraine in this direction as well. if we talk about the situation in other parts of the front, then

the most threatening situation is in the ughledar direction, actually, mr. dmytro, regarding the ughledar direction, it is, you absolutely rightly said, one of the most difficult, probably so. on our front map, on the front, in particular, if we talk about the maps, they indicate that in fact, during the last few days, even the last day, we observe that there has been an advance of russian forces, they are pressing on the positions of the defense forces from the right flank, this is reported by deep state, but in addition to this there is also information about what has been dismissed from the position colonel... ivan vinnik, commander of the 72nd mechanized brigade named after the black zaporozhets, which defends ugledar. by the way, social networks are talking about this today, we see that it is being actively discussed in society. well, in particular, a critical situation has developed in vaglydar for ukrainian

forces. if we talk about ugledar in general, you have already started talking about this situation, and how will you comment on it. actually the situation with the dismissal of colonel vinnik, why he was dismissed, why there is such a position and why in some, well, experts... in some representatives of society have such an ambiguous reaction to this release, and in general, in addition to this, for example, oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political commentator of the information resistance group, says that, in fact, by capturing ugledar, russia will be able to intensify its offensive not only in donetsk region, but also in the zaporizhzhia region, here is all this mass of information, which it testifies to, is the situation there really so... difficult, is it really not something that we can lose an ugledar,

including giving, more precisely, we do not give, but decide they will actually get such a bridgehead for further, further offensive in this direction. let's look at the situation in the volodar area, they are attacking not from one flank, but from three sides, they are talking about frontal attacks, and battles directly against the city buildings, battles are actually taking place in the center of the city. plus, accordingly, battles in the south-eastern part of ugledar. in addition, simultaneous strikes from the cleaning area, the vodyane area, are on the flanks. but the most threatening situation looks at the moment of the further advance of the russian occupiers towards the settlement epiphany and the corresponding attempt of the occupiers to take the locations of the armed forces of ukraine under direct control. the distance to bogoyalinka is 1.2 km. it is said against. that the occupiers are trying to create a double ring of encirclement of the ukrainian group, in addition,

there is an advance into ukrainian territory up to 2 km beyond the cleaning area, the advance is along the berestov creek, the possibilities of the russian occupiers at the moment of blocking, first of all, the logistics of the armed forces of ukraine with the aim of impossibility of carrying out rotation and the main export. wounded the situation is extremely difficult: after the tactical successes of the occupiers in the area of ​​the south donbaska one and south donbaska 3 administration mines and the actual taking under control of the terekons, these are actually double heights, which currently give the occupiers the opportunity to keep under fire control the positions of the armed forces of ukraine in the very corner of the drive. the significance of ughledar, it is worth mentioning that ughledar is located on commanding heights,

and this allowed the defense forces of ukraine to keep under fire control until the last moment, even with the use of barrel rocket artillery, rear logistics of the occupiers, in particular, we are talking about the railway connection and the key valnavakh railway station, this called into question the possibility of railway connection with the russian federation in the occupied territory of donetsk for... oblast and the directly occupied crimea. this is why there are so fierce battles for coal. at the moment, the occupiers do not exclude the possibility, respectively, after the end of the ughledar operation, the advance in the direction of rakhove, that is, accordingly, to the south. and the main thing is a sharp activation in the zaporozhye direction. in other words, it is said that the occupiers aim to cut off the so-called yevremivski ledges. accordingly, to intensify the attack on the positions of the armed forces of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia region, this is evidenced by the sharp intensification

of the fire activity of the occupiers in the zaporizhzhia region. if earlier there were approximately 300 shellings per day, this is with the use of fabov’s rocket-propelled artillery, this includes the positions of the armed forces of ukraine and residential infrastructure, between the controlled armed forces of ukraine, now it is 450 and reaches the... test, and strikes are carried out using fabs and on the residential infrastructure of the regional center itself: the distance from zaporizhzhia to the line of combat contact is up to 30 km, respectively, the key issue at the moment will be the presence of engineering and fortification facilities of the armed forces of ukraine in this direction. prior to that , there were several corruption scandals regarding the general readiness of engineering and fortification facilities, and moreover , the estimate of the zaporizhia military. of the civil administration at the time of carrying out these engineering and fortification structures from

regarding the resignation of colonel vinnyk, it is worth saying that this episode should not be separated from the general situation with the top military leadership of ukraine. i would like to remind you that today there was information that the administrative court decided to accordingly register criminal proceedings against general sodol. in addition, a message appeared in the mass media about the possibility of the resignation of the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, budanov, and the main thing - the lack of a reaction from the government. of the security of ukraine to the statements of people's deputy bezuglai regarding, in fact, discrediting the politicians above the military leadership , in particular the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, the syrian, the syrian, the syrian, the syrian, yes, but the trend bezugloi continues, and

it is worth mentioning that there is a surprising lack of reaction to the direct statements of the hall of god, bezugloi, regarding the creation of so-called horizontal links between the units of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, we are talking about the actual withdrawal of the units of the armed forces from the subordination of the general staff and, accordingly, the commander-in-chief of syrskyi. and in this context, we can say that the release of vinnyk, well, in no way affects the increase in morale. fighting spirit of the units of the 72nd brigade, which are currently conducting the convoluted nature of the battles directly to the coal miners, so there are more than enough questions about the events that are taking place around the top military leadership of our country. but if we talk in general, in principle, about what

it says there bluntly that, in principle , now we are talking about the resignation of the manager. khurbudanova, let's stop at the point, you mentioned it, do you really think that there is a certain degree of rationality in her words, or is it such a provocative throw, in fact, that only harms the armed forces of ukraine now? i don't see a rational attack there, i see an informational attack on the higher military leadership of ukraine, the ukrainian generals, personally. and note that it was bezugla who initiated the attack on the outsider and that's all ended with the resignation of zaluzhny and, accordingly , his further diplomatic career, that is, we can say that zalu actually , well, let's say this, became the first call regarding the political nature of personnel

decisions regarding ukrainian. reality, then we see what we have seen: the resignation of 12 generals, and the most difficult for ukraine, the time of testing, and in the future , the resignation of kombrig of the 80th airmobile brigade, the resignation of vinnyk 72, criminal cases against the leadership of the 125th army brigade, this lviv, which is mine made a look impossible in the kharkiv direction, having received a russian offensive, less criminal proceedings have been initiated, the state bureau of investigation, well, as you noted, accordingly, information is currently being thrown in regarding the possible, revealed political ambitions of kirill budanov and, accordingly, the resignation of the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense,

and that's all takes place against the background of successful operations of the main intelligence department, we are talking about attacks on the arse... of the armed forces of the russian federation in the rear areas of the the russian federation, according to the conduct of acts of direct action, is the destruction of war criminals on the territory of the russian federation, well, plus the successful nature of the operation, we have already mentioned to you the lightning operation of the gur units regarding the release of the vovchan aggregate plant, that is, the grounds for budany's resignation. there is no question, sir, mr. dmytro, if we are still talking about budanov's resignation, yes, potential resignation, he should be replaced, allegedly, allegedly by the current chairman oleg ivashchenko of the foreign intelligence service, you and i have already started talking about

budanov in principle, in your opinion, if such a resignation does happen... then what is the actual purpose of these actions? you talk about the fact that budanov is effective, well, in principle, i mostly agree with you on this, but then why should he resign now, what is the reason, if possible, just one minute, and i emphasize once again, budanov is being cast as if the presence of political ambitions, the same accusations were once made against zaluzhnyi, z on the occasion of the fact that the rating of zaluzhny... was higher than the rating of the president of ukraine zelenskyi, similar accusations, moreover, which are replicated by the russian special services, including, unfortunately,... in the ukrainian segment, became the basis for possible personnel decisions office of the president, and please note that the western partners were the first

to give this information in advance, in order to make it impossible at all to have a similar nature of personnel decisions, clearly stating to the president of ukraine zelensky, if you believe, accordingly, the western media during his visit of the united states, regarding the undesirability of such actions, which can seriously... harm, respectively, the cooperation of the ukrainian intelligence community and the intelligence products of our strategic partners, but the basis of this information was budanov's personal conflict with the head of the president's office, that is, we can talk about the political motivation of possible personnel decisions. thank you, mr. dmytro, for joining the broadcast of tv channel uso, the new week program, dmytro snigerev, military expert. co-leader of the public initiative right matters was in direct contact. we will continue with the next topic, but before we start, i

will remind you about our poll, it reads as follows: are you ready, are you satisfied with the results of zelensky's visit to the united states of america? by the way, we will talk about this right now. if so, 0800-211-381, if not - 0821. 382 absolutely free of charge from your smartphones and phones, and then we will sum up the intermediate results. let's continue precisely on the topic of our survey. andriy dobryanskyi, spokesman of the ukrainian congress committee of the united states of america. in direct contact. mr. andriy, we are glad to see you. good evening, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. and mr. andrii, let’s start with the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states of america, in fact, zelenskyi made certain conclusions, he

said that specific decisions regarding the implementation of the victory plan will be made by the allies at the end of the year, more precisely at the october summit in germany in rammstein format. actually, let's hear what the president said. everything key for ukraine on on the partners' table, everything is being considered, long-range, defense package, sanctions against russia, steps regarding russian assets. we managed to work on all topics, we are preparing for a meeting in germany as part of ramstein, this is a format where, together with our partners, we will follow the content of the points of the victory plan. mr. andrii na... in your opinion, how effective was the visit of the president of ukraine to the united states of america, even considering all the shenanigans that took place, including donald trump and mike

johnson, right? well, in the same context, if we are talking about the victory plan, then, unfortunately, a lot appeared in foreign mass media, in particular american critical materials, where it is said that here... it is as if the victory plan was not so warmly received, it was not received there in white home, but less so we see the president's words that the final decisions will be made later, how much do you perceive the effectiveness of this visit and the presentation of the victory plan from the point of view of the ocean. please, mr. andriy, okay, well here and we will recall, this is not a normal visit to america, but during a week of high-ranking meetings at the general assembly of the united nations, however, i have been dealing with affairs on behalf of

the world congress of ukrainians at the united nations since the 10th year, the chairman of the committee since the 18th year, many presidents saw here at the united nations, and i must say that when we include this one. the visit, what happened, i think, we have to see that ukraine improves more and more year after year, every time it participates, well, obviously, the war still eats, but this, maybe some teams would not organized so many meetings, participated so actively in the un with various other leaders, even leaders that some would have left. south africa, here ukraine eternally cooperates with the president himself, had meetings and discussions of small, small countries

that are also influential. at the un or the big ones , there were also meetings in new york at very different levels, even further, what happened to the congressmen, the very first day when president zelensky arrived there was a meeting between senators and congressmen in pennsylvania, where the agreement with zaporizhzhia was signed region in new york, when at the united nations there was a meeting with... a party delegation of senators, when, when in washington, there was a meeting not only of the most influential senators, but also an extremely large round table of congressmen in the house of representatives, as well, i remember how few participated in earlier meetings, whether it was president zelensky, or earlier poroshenko, or earlier

others, that, that... we would never have seen or heard that so many congressmen would like to have a meeting, then however, i think that activity, that there is still interest, even that we know, war is still staying, but these conversations, those long-term meetings now, i think it will all be good for ukraine in the future, but what he got from it, i think, we will see at ramstein, we know that the president announced something there. he himself wants to participate in rheinstein in october. the secretary of state of the united states of america, anthony blinken, said that the biden administration is currently studying the points of the victory plan and is actually considering whether they can consider additional actions, according to which ukraine should be supported in the near future. let's let's listen to what the secretary of state of the united states of america said. in a conversation with president

biden, president zelenskyy of ukraine presented his victory plan, they discussed in great detail what he thinks is necessary to implement this plan, we are studying it very carefully, including what we, or other partners of ukraine, should do if additional actions are required for them to achieve this success. mr. andrii, here we are talking about the fact that there really was interest. yes, and i want to clarify here once again, regarding the victory plan, regarding the vision of the united states america, in fact, what volodymyr zelenskyi presented, are all the points really shared by our american partners, or are there any reservations that our international partners cannot fulfill certain points at the moment, of course, due

to objective circumstances. the biggest caveats are in america, these are internal affairs, internal quarrels, misunderstandings between the republicans, with the democrats and so on, now now we have passed the end of the fiscal year, the fiscal year, and now only now do we understand what the budget is left, because they they just extended the budget until december so that there would be no shutdown in october, but also some programs that last year, you remember how long it took to include the budget for aid to ukraine, last year, we didn't have to wait ourselves , or those that activists, or even congressmen, understand after the remaining fiscal year, which programs were included for two years, for three years, which were urgent, ending on september 30.
