in the direction of kupyansk and the district, we can certainly see that there are still attempts to break through, there are attempts to put pressure on the positions of the defense forces, in particular, the enemy is preparing new attempts of large-scale assaults in the kupyansk direction. this was reported on espresso by oles malyarevich, deputy commander of the 92nd brigade's achilles bpak shock battalion. let's hear what he is. said, the goal is completely clear to everyone there, it is to capture the entire left bank of the oskkil river, and they without putting effort, lives and loss of their resources, and here to this goal, er, the last days of the territorial they did not have any gains, at the moment they are sure, this is my personal, subjective opinion, that they are preparing new, new attempts of assaults are so big. and so far these are small

groups, they 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 deep state maps, there really has been, even if only slightly, in the last few weeks but the advance of the russian forces, which... do you generally assess the situation there, how threatening it is, now, by the way, on the maps you can see this kind of wedge that the rashists are trying, through which the rashists are trying to advance, your position, your opinion, how much this is all threatening and what to expect in the next, near future, well, first of all, i would not divide the kupyansky limanskyi direction, until recently there were reports about the situation on... this is a total

length of up to 150 km, according to the situation that is happening in this direction well, it indicates the plans of the occupiers to exit the area, respectively, the leman direction, this is after capturing the settlement of nevske, directly on the liman, it is a strategic and logistical hub and, accordingly, a key point of defense of the armed forces of ukraine. as for the kupyansk direction, the main task there is not so much the capture of kupyansk, kupyansk nodular, as the attempt of the occupiers to reach the line of the oskil reservoir, splitting the ukrainian group in half. the main task of the occupiers is possible flank coverage of the ukrainian group in the donetsk region, i.e. a repetition of the events of 2000,

when the liman group was considered, accordingly, the largest combat-capable group of the russian army, so the situation is quite difficult, let's be frank, plus, accordingly, the kupyan direction is part of the kharkiv region, so the occupiers are trying to resolve the issue of further advancement into the ukrainian territory of the kharkiv region at the expense of this section of the front. on the vovchanskyi 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 vovchansk and, accordingly , the successful nature of counteroffensive operations in the hlybokia lytsia area. today, according to information, the russian occupiers tried to fly... their tactical position

in the direction of movchansk was used up to two dozen units of armored vehicles, that is 17 metallbs, three tanks, etc., but by the efforts of the armed forces in ukraine, most of the enemy's armored vehicles were turned into scrap metal and, accordingly, another amount, namely two tanks and one metal bomb, was able to move directly from the zone of damage of our defenders, that is, the occupiers are not ... trying to push through the defense of the armed forces of ukraine in this direction as well, if we talk about the situation in other areas of the front, the most threatening situation is in the ughledar direction, actually, mr. dmytro, regarding the ughledar direction, it, you absolutely rightly said, is one of the the most difficult, probably yes, on our front map, on the front, in particular, if we talk about maps. and they testify that

in fact, during the last few days, even the last day, we observe that there has been an advance of the russian forces, they are putting pressure 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 that colonel ivan vinnik, the commander of the 72nd mechanized brigade named after the black zaporozhets, which defends ugledar, has been dismissed from his post, by the way, today social networks say, we we see that this is being actively discussed in society, well, in particular, a critical situation has developed for ukrainian forces in vagladar. and if we talk about the ughledar in general, you have already started talking about this situation, and how do you comment on the actual situation with the dismissal of colonel vinnik, why he was dismissed, why there is such

a position and why some experts, some representatives of society, have such an ambiguous opinion the reaction to this dismissal, well, in general... in addition to this, for example, oleksandr kovalenko, a military-political columnist of the information resistance group says that, in fact, by seizing ughledar, russia will be able to intensify its offensive not only in donetsk region, but also in the zaporizhzhia region, this whole mass of information, which it testifies to, is the situation really that difficult there, are we really not what we can lose a corner, including data... more precisely, we will not give data, but we 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 say about frontal attacks, and battles directly

in the city buildings, battles are actually taking place in the center of the city, plus, accordingly, battles in the southeastern part of the city. in addition, simultaneous strikes from the area near... the clearing of the vodyane district is on the flank, but the most threatening situation appears to be at the moment of the further advance of the russian occupiers to the settlement of bogoyavlenka and the corresponding attempt by the occupiers to take under direct control the locations of the armed forces of ukraine, the distance to bogoyalinka 1 ,2 km. er, it is said that the occupiers are trying to create a double ring of encirclement of the ukrainian group. er, besides, for the district. the clearing is an advance into the depth of the blockade of ukrainian territories up to 2 km, the advance is along the berestovo balka, the possibilities of the russian occupiers at the time of e-e are being considered , primarily the logistics of the armed forces of ukraine

in order to make it impossible to carry out the rotation and the main evacuation of the wounded. the situation is very complicated. after the tactical successes of the occupiers in the shakhto region. south donbaska 1, south donbaska 3, actual taking control of terekons, these are actually dominant heights, which currently give the occupiers the opportunity to keep under fire control the positions of the armed forces of ukraine in the ugledar itself, regarding the overall significance of the ugledar. it is worth mentioning that the ugledar is located at the dominant heights, and this allowed until the last. defense forces of ukraine to keep under fire control, even with the use of rocket-propelled artillery, the rear logistics of the occupiers, in particular, we are talking about the railway connection and the key railway station of valnavakh, this called into question the possibility of

railway connection with the russian federation in the occupied territory of the donetsk zaporizhzhia region and the immediate vicinity of the 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 ugledar operation, to advance towards urakhove, that is, respectively, to the south, and the main thing, a sharp activation in the zaporozhye direction, that is, it is said that the occupiers aim to cut off the so-called vremiv protrusions, respectively, intensify the offensive on the position of the armed forces of ukraine in the zaporizhzhia region, this is evidenced by a sharp intensification. fire, fire activity of the occupiers precisely in the zaporizhzhia direction, if earlier there were approximately 300 shellings per day, this is with the use of the fabs' rocket-propelled artillery, this is also the position of the armed forces of ukraine and the residential infrastructure of the cities controlled by the armed forces of ukraine,

now it is 450 and reaches 500, and strikes are carried out with the use of factories and on the residential infrastructure of the regional center itself, the distance from za'. to the battle line a collision up to 30 km, respectively, will be a key issue at the moment, this is the presence of engineering and fortification facilities of the armed forces of ukraine in this direction. many times before. there were corruption scandals about the general readiness of engineering and fortification structures, and moreover , the budget of the zaporizhia military- civilian administration at the time of the implementation of these engineering and fortification structures. regarding the resignation of colonel vinnyk, it is worth saying that this episode should not be separated from the general situation, which consists of the highest military leadership of ukraine. i would like to remind you that today from... 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 budanova and most importantly - the lack of reaction of the security service of ukraine to the statements of people's deputy bezuglai regarding, which actually discredit higher politicians. higher military leadership, in particular, the commander of the armed forces of ukraine, apologizes to syrsky already, not to the base, already to the syrsky, yes, not only to the base, already to the syrian, yes, but the trend of the cornerless continues, and it is worth talking about what is surprising lack of reaction to the direct statements of the hall, excuse me, bezugly, regarding the creation of so-called horizontal connections between the units of the armed forces of ukraine, that is, they are talking about the actual withdrawal of the units

of the armed forces from the subordination of the general staff and, accordingly commander-in-chief of syrskyi. and in this context, we can say that the release of vinnyk, well, in no way affects the morale and fighting spirit of the units of the 72nd brigade, which are currently leading fierce battles. the nature of the battles is directly related to the ugledars, 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 are talking in general, in principle, about what bezugla says there, about the fact that, in principle, now we are talking about the resignation of the manager khurbudanova, well, let's stop at the point, you mentioned it, do you really think that there is a certain to... field of rationality in her words, or is this such a provocative throw, in fact, that

only harms the armed forces of ukraine now? i don't see a rational order there, i see a response to an informational attack on the higher military leadership of ukraine, the ukrainian generals, serskyi personally, and note that it was bezula who initiated the attack , and it all ended with his resignation. meritorious and, accordingly, his future diplomatic career, that is, we can talk about the fact that zaluzhny, let's say, became a wake-up call regarding the political nature of personnel decisions regarding the ukrainian generalship, then we see what we saw, the resignation of 12 generals, and the most difficult for ukraine. it’s a time of testing and in the future, the resignation of kombrig of the 80th

airmobile brigade, the resignation of vinnyk of the 72nd, criminal cases against the leadership of the 125th teroborona brigade, this is lviv, which, in my opinion, did the impossible in the kharkiv direction, receiving the russian offensive, less criminal proceedings have been instituted by the state bureau. investigation, well, as you noted, accordingly, information is currently being thrown about the possible, it turns out, political ambitions of kirill budanov and, accordingly, the resignation of the head of the main intelligence department of the ministry of defense, and all this is happening against the background of successful operations of the main intelligence department, we are talking about attacks on the arsenals of armed forces forces of the russian federation in the rear areas of the russian federation itself, respectively. carrying out acts of direct action, this is the destruction of the military

criminals on the territory of the russian federation, and plus the successful nature of the operation, we have already arranged for you the lightning-fast operation of the gur units regarding the release of the vovchan aggregate plant, that is, there are no grounds for budany's resignation. but if we, mr. dmytro, if we are still talking about resignation. so the potential resignation, according to the publication of hb and other sources, he should be replaced, allegedly, allegedly by the current head of the foreign intelligence service. oleg ivashchenko, 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 say that budanov is effective, and, well, in principle, i mostly agree with you on this, but then why should he now go to

resignation, what is the reason, if i may, one moment, and one more time. emphasizes that budanov is accused of allegedly having political ambitions, the same accusations were once made against zaluzhnyi, and regarding the fact that zaluzhnyi's rating was higher than that of the president of ukraine zelenskyi, similar accusations moreover, which are replicated by the russian special services, including, unfortunately, in the ukrainian segment, and became the basis for possible personnel decisions of the president’s office, moreover... please note that the western partners were the first to give this information in advance, in order to make a similar nature of personnel decisions impossible at all decisions, clearly stating to the president of ukraine zelensky, according to the western media, even during his visit to the united states, about the undesirability of such actions, which could seriously harm the appropriate

cooperation of the ukrainian intelligence community and intelligence agencies 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 the espresso tv channel, the new week program, dmytro snigirov, military expert, co-chairman of the public initiative prava dshava, was in direct contact. we're about... we'll continue with the next topic, but before we start, i'll remind you about our survey, it goes like this whether you are ready or satisfied with the results of zelenskyi's visit to the united states of america, by the way, we will talk about this right now. if yes, 0800-211-381, if not - 0800-211-382, absolutely free of charge from

your smartphones and phones, and then we'll call you. interim results, let's continue right on the topic of our survey, andriy dobryanskyi, spokesman of the ukrainian congressional committee of the united states of america, on a direct call, mr. andriy, we are glad to see you, good evening, glory to ukraine, heroes, glory, mr. andriy, let's start from the visit of the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi to the united states. america , zelensky drew certain conclusions, he said that specific decisions regarding the implementation of the victory plan will be made by the allies at the end, more precisely at the october summit in germany, in the rammstein format. actually, let's listen to what the president of ukraine said. everything that is key for

ukraine is on the partners' table, everything is being considered. fighting force, defense package, sanctions against russia, steps regarding russian assets. we were on time on all subjects to work, 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, in your opinion, how effective was the visit of the president of ukraine to the united states of america, even taking into account all those changes. sweats that happened including donald trump and mike johnson, right? well, in the same context, if we are talking about the victory plan, a lot, unfortunately, appeared in foreign mass media outlets, including american, critical materials, where it is said that the alleged victory plan

was not so warmly received, was not received there in the white house. but less so , we see the words of the president that the final decisions will be made later, how far do you, from the point of view of overseas , perceive the effectiveness of this visit and the effectiveness of the presentation of the victory plan, please, mr. andriy, okay, well, here we are let's remember that this is not a normal visit to america, but during a week of high-ranking meetings at the un general assembly, however, i am doing business in the name of of the world congress of ukrainians under ooni from the 10th year, the head of the committee from in the 17th year , i saw many presidents here at the un, and i must say that when we include this

visit, what has happened, i think, we have to see that ukraine is improving more and more year after year each time. that she participates, well, obviously the war still eats, but maybe some teams would not... organize so many meetings, participate so actively in the oona with various other leaders, even such leaders that some would leave south africa, ukraine is here forever cooperates with the president himself, there was a meeting and discussion of small, small countries that are also influential at the un or large ones at a very diverse level. there were meetings in new york, even further, what happened with congressmen, the very first day when president zelensky arrived, there was

a meeting between senators and congressmen in pennsylvania, where the agreement with the zaporizhia region was signed, in new york, when there was a meeting with the bipartisan, delegation of senators, when, when in washington, and not only. of the most influential former senators meeting, but also an extremely large round table of congressmen in the house of representatives, as well as i remember how few participated in earlier meetings, whether it was president zelensky, or before poroshenko, or before others, what, what we would never saw or heard that so many congressmen would like to have a meeting, however, i think that... activity, that there is still interest, even that we know the war is still going on, but these conversations, those long-term meetings now, i i think it will all

be good for ukraine in the future, but what is he we will get from this, i think we will see that at ramstein, we know that president biden announced something there, he himself wants to participate in rheinstein in october. secretary of state of the united states of america. anthony blinken said that the biden administration is now 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 hear what the secretary of state of the united states of america had to say. in a conversation with president biden, the president of ukraine zelensky presented his victory plan. they discussed in great detail what he believed was necessary to implement this plan. we are looking into this very carefully, including what we, or other ukrainian partners, should

do if additional actions are needed to help them achieve this success. mr. andrii, we are talking about the fact that there was indeed interest, yes, and i want to clarify here once again, regarding the victory plan, regarding the vision of the united states. america actually what volodymyr zelenskyi presented, or indeed all the points shared by our american partners, are there any reservations that our international partners cannot fulfill certain points due to, of course, objective circumstances? the biggest warning is aimed at america, it is internal affairs, internal quarrels, misunderstandings. the republicans, with the democrats and so on, now now we 're past the end of the fiscal year, the fiscal year, and now we're just now realizing what

the budget is left, because they just extended the budget until december so that there wouldn't be a shutdown in october, but also some programs that were included last year, you remember how long it took to include the aid budget for ukraine. last year, we did not have to wait for activists or even congressmen to understand after the fiscal year what was left, what programs were included for two years, what programs were included for three years, what were urgent, what ended on september 30 , and what the administration and congress could include before this continuation, this will be the most important. we are dealing with october, and what help can we still include, besides that president biden just announced, we understand, our understanding now is that

there is still money from... there is before that they plan to have an additional bill in december, after the election, but the change is the main thing for ukrainians, the change in the policy regarding far weapons , i still think, and i already have a question from june, i don't, i don't think, there will be an important change right after the elections here in america, not only that this is a political matter, but just an understanding. when we can add another package, i don't think america would want, yes as my understanding from talking to friends in washington, america doesn't want to change its policy specific to those long-range weapons right now, until the election is over and we 're already approaching the thousandth day of a full-scale invasion, and they think then with talking to international partners. whether

it's at the big twenty or another, because it's the same in november, only then will there be a change in policy in america, that is, in your opinion, such a decision will not be made at ramstein, right? it would, it would be a superchange for the whole the world, but actually nobody, nobody in washington thinks that at any meeting or at any press conference we will hear that there will be a change, everybody thinks that it is the way we saw it. those attacks, when they hit the russian territory at the border, similarly, we will hear a change only when we see on the news that ukraine finally has permission, and not, but there will be no such announcement before that. and yet, if we are again talking about long-range missiles, about the permission to strike on the territory of the occupying state, can we still expect this permission

from the administration. anyway, for this we need to wait for january 20th to come and the new president, the newly elected president has already gained his powers, this period, can joe biden use it conditionally there on november 6-7 and until january 20th in order to nevertheless, some such radical steps, i would say revolutionary steps, should be used to help ukraine. in fact, in this last period of his presidential term, it is a very crazy period, such a golden period for us, when the elections will come after november 5 to inauguration after half of january already, when the president still has the right to decide anything, but no one can vote against him,

no one can remove anything. him in that period, we can do a lot then, i think, then, i thought before, that i think, not before november, but already after the elections, the president himself, he does not nominate anyone, no one has to vote for him or to give him permission, he will be the president and this is the best period for him to change his mind, we also know that the advisers... whether the former president trump or vice president herrist will be completely different than president biden, then there may be a change in january, but i would think that the opportunity for biden to change his mind would be in the period that you just mentioned between elections and inauguration. we, mr. andrii, are watching how the elections and you, including these controversies, have already de facto confirmed this. so

here is this fight, even to some extent such a tough fight between the two candidates. in particular, the american analyst peter dickenson, he explains that trump's rhetoric has changed, i will remind you that at first trump allegedly refused to meet with zelensky, and mike johnson, the speaker of the house of representatives, he sent such a rather undiplomatic letter to the president of ukraine. with the demand for the dismissal or recall of ms. markarova, the ambassador of ukraine to the united states of america, and we also remember this speech by mr. trump, where he spoke so inaccurately about ukraine, well, let's not mention it now, because there is really no time, but this one is sharp rhetoric, change of rhetoric...
