danger , sent the administrative-police regime in the settlements located on the banks of the dnipro river and the protection of the coastline in the temporarily captured areas of the zaporozhye and kherson regions; in addition, the state companies of the russian federation were presented with new norms for the selection of volunteers for the war , so the russian railway company received an order to search among civilian employees up to 10,000 new candidates for a short-term contract, the insane number of dead among russians is confirmed by the occupiers themselves in telephone in conversations with relatives, the main directorate of intelligence of ukraine released another interception of him, a rashist who is fighting in donetsk region, tells his wife about devastating losses, at the same time, he does not hide that he is drunk and scared, there is, yes, even not the infantry , mykhila, do you know the word with 300 people, there are 72 left, let out of three hundred in the mykolaiv region, the russians hit with x-59 rockets, as well as hurricanes and heavy artillery, the operational com

main logistical routes of the supply of these enemy groups are currently on the right bank of the dnipro river cut off from supply, well, practically cut off , because there may still be some er still er low capabilities er, but at the moment here, er, the armed forces are using such tactics of defeating the er enemy, destruction, and if we have previously seen active strikes on bodies the enemy with the help of the same anti-aircraft missile systems, rather reactive systems of salvo fire himer 100, we currently see the active operation of these systems, as well as high-precision artillery systems or artillery systems using high-precision ammunition specifically at the positions of the russian occupying forces on the right bank of the dnipro river , everything that is located is being destroyed, and in real- time mode, and this may indicate that the armed forces of ukraine are effectively exploiting the weapons and various systems that were delivered uh, our partners are not just alone, but as part of the reconnaissance strike systems that allow us to reliably destroy the enemy at the moment.

they are actually now in an operational environment when trying to cross, of course, crossing the dnipro river, they will be destroyed gradually from because all the crossings every meter today hmm hmm dnipro shot down ugaymarsi that is why it is necessary to allow the armed forces of ukraine to finish their work without rushing, without pushing and without demanding immediate results, it is necessary to understand that parity in we have not reached uh, we uh, we objectively lack barrel rocket artillery, and not only in the south, but also in general, but we are approaching this parity thanks to the high-precision weapons received from the allies, in particular, uh, the famous howitzer uh m-77 now received the latest projectiles, high-precision borg glasses, which have an accuracy of hitting the target up to 3 m, plus minus , this is definitely without any analogues in the russian army, and therefore we have fewer projectiles, but where russia is, we need to fire 100 to hit these us one track is enough, what is the situation on the left bank of the dnieper, in particular, we are talking about

the occupiers left their advanced positions in kiselyivka near kherson and retreated towards the dnipro river. put into question the defense of the northwestern outskirts of kherson by the russians and shows that the putinites felt a threat to their positions, analysts believe that against the background of successes of ukrainians, the russian military command can suspend the deployment of newly formed units in ukraine 202 days of heroic resistance to the russian invasion, the armed forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of seven settlements , in particular, near zaytsevo bakhmut, krasnohorivka, novobuz direction, the general staff reports that the russians continue their tactics of terror and intimidation of the civilian population during the day, the invaders carried out two missile and 25 air strikes, carried out 11 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the military and civilian objects ukrainian aviation hit seven strongpoints and places where the enemy 's manpower and equipment are concentrated, enemy losses are confirmed, units of missile troops and artillery hit control points, the

general staff so the russian the invaders forbid residents of the kherson region to cross the dnipro riverestrict their movement against the background of counteroffensive actions of the armed forces of ukraine. happened after intensive shelling by the defense forces of areas of enemy concentration in the kherson region, so the russian invaders imposed a ban on the movement of local residents, in particular, people are prohibited from crossing the dnipro river both by bridges and by watercraft, in case of violation of the ban, the occupiers threaten to open fire on them. well, the russian occupiers continue to attack the temporarily occupied in the territories of the kherson region, the dark are trying to bribe the parents of e-e schoolchildren with free meals with payments ukrainian teachers are threatened with punitive measures. this was reported by the spokesman of the odesa regional military administration, serhiy bratchuk, the vast majority of schools located in the temporarily occupied territory of the kherson region refused to work according to the so-called russian programs, and no

middle of april, the russians tried to capture the capital kyiv, capture masternonbas, cross the dnipro river , and that too. all these attacks were unsuccessful from odessa. this is not because their armed forces did not capture odessa. russia in the east in order to seize the whole of donbas, odesa. they started on april 15-16, they started again and again they were defeated, they did not succeed in capturing the whole of donbas and only crossed the dnieper in the south near the city kherson operational goals of kyiv were defeated and the successful defense of ukraine at the beginning of this month until the first of september, ukraine began a counteroffensive in order to siphon off the strategic and this offensive continues . north of kherson, and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. the discussion during today's meeting will include not only questions, but not only current assistance but also about what will happen next. as you know, we provided hai marsi with hundreds of thousands of ammunition for 155 mm howitzers, thousands of anti-tank weapons, anti- aircraft weapons

has a key hydroelectric plant, but also to try to isolate russian forces here to the west of the dnipro rivernd the u.s. has been seeing in recent weeks accurate attacks, particularly with the himars systems on russian positions in their territory and now some ground movements that show some promise in your view. is that an optimistic start to this counteroffensive? >> oh, absolutely, it is. what you're seeing is the synchronization and three dimensional fight. you're achieving success at distance, the use of himars, and precision artillery, which they have in pretty large numbers, and you see the junction of that with the movement of forces to achieve those larger operational objectives. in other words, it is just not simply an isolated fight or artillery. that's what the russians are primarily doing. they're not synchronizing the battlefield. the ukrainians are stepping up and a level of synchronization that they have not previously been able to achieve in great distance. >> okay. one part of this synchronization is that what is happening down here, it is not all happening down here, there

after the armed forces of ukraine began to systematically move almost all crossings across the dnipro riverthus, they deprived the enemy of the opportunity to accumulate reserves e deliver ammunition, fuel, lubricants, manpower and equipment after that. in fact, this group is located here. it turned out to be a scooter now, that is, the enemy cannot use them to maneuver these forces and in the future, if the onslaught of the armed forces continues and in particular fire damage of all the rear depots of the supply of the command posts e-e concentrates the accumulation of military equipment and manpower of the enemy, it is very obvious that the enemy can find himself in an operational environment and in general it can be sprinkled the russian southern front, as well as the kharkiv front, information is being received that the enemy allegedly in the south is already offering some options for him to get out of the encircled, actually leave the combat zone altogether and hand over weapons, or somehow there with the help of international organizations that should have tracked it so that it was re

and means and resources, since, as i have already mentioned, this it is necessary to cross the dnipro riverand there is nothing to do and there is no possibility to do it because of course, step by step, the ukrainian troops are gradually not as fast as someone would like, but still they are doing their job in my country and are going to liberate kherson, that’s how strong their positions are there if you can briefly say that they have a strong position now only in the bakhmut region, in the seversk region, they have exhausted all their forces, they are throwing at bakhmutsky, but they have not succeeded in making any breakthrough, let's say, all attacks are repulsed thank you for your analysis we spoke with a military expert , the head of the center for military legal research, oleksandr musienko. the czech republic, which currently chairs the european union, is calling for the creation of an international tribunal against russia. killed and tortured people, the local authorities declare evidence of war crimes, meanwhile, ukrainian defenders have liberated new settlements in the kharkiv re

occupation of profitable lines by the armed forces of ukraine the destruction of rights across the dnipro river for that group which the russian federation was able to concentrate on the right bank of the dnipro in the north of the kherson region, as well as the destruction of ammunition depots, fuel and lubricants, the destruction of the enemy's strongholds, its command headquarters, and from which the concentration of troops, of course, they have been talking about a counteroffensive in the south for about three months. but for the enemy. i think that this question is now being heard throughout the entire front because after ukraine painted such a paint for us a raisin for the russian troops, now the russians no longer know where to expect the next strike, and this is just the main thing for them. now the question is, our strike can be both in the kherson direction, actually from the mykolaiv region, and in the zaporozhye region, in the donbass, and the russians actually have all their reserves, they now they are forced to disperse, they are forced to switch to defensive tactics as much as po

the nikopol district, the threat of artillery shelling residents of towns and villages along the dnipro river are urged to leave the streets, the head of the nikopol district military administration stated this evgeny yevtushenko, in addition, locals are asked to stay in shelters or use the rule of two walls. izyum was the main fortress of the invaders in the east of ukraine. eyes to see the evidence of russian terror just a few days ago izyum seemed impregnable to the fortress of the occupiers, but today ukrainian law prevails here again and the elation from this victory disappears as soon as they face the consequences of the occupation of the city. almost not a single surviving building, empty streets and tortured civilians, broken once, everything they wanted, they did everything to make us shit on our souls. oh, i lived in the basement for two and a half months. thank god. for me to lie down, and there were about 12-15 of us there, the number changed every night . zinaida mykhailivna was 83 years old, the occupation was in izyum, most of all she wants to see her great-grandchildren in kyi

a-a, these messages indicate that the enemy is really currently locked on the right bank of the dnipro river because all the main logistics routes are controlled by the armed forces of ukraine, and if indirectly so er brothers and understanding er how it happens that lately the same bayratar unmanned aerial vehicles have been actively operating in particular and that were purchased by us and lithuanian volunteers er and then we can say that this due to the fact that the anti-aircraft defense system and the enemy in this area were actively suppressed beforehand. well, at the moment, here are all the cotton balls that we can observe in various places. not only on the right bank of the dnieper, but also in the south of ukraine in general, and the fact that melitopol is currently under active fire influence. and this also disrupts the supply of e-e troops in the zaporizhzhia direction. and the fact that we previously we saw that the armed forces of ukraine can somehow reach even dzhankou, this also puts the enemy there in an uncomfortable position, and at the moment we see that the enemy is expe

zaporizhzhia in the morning, the russians hit the city with a rocket, they hit a place near the dnipro river, the information about the victims is being clarified there, the head of the regional military administration oleksandr starukh noted that the occupiers also shelled a village near the regional center, so far it is known about one wounded person, and at night the invaders targeted the infrastructure of zaporizhzhia , in total, they recorded eight attacks, damaged high-rise private buildings houses and premises of an educational institution, the occupiers once again ransacked the dnipropetrovsk region under the sights of the attackers the russians hit the nikopol district three times with heavy artillery and hailed two communities, firing more than 40 projectiles. previously, no people were injured, noted the head of the regional military administration , valentin reznichenko, in nikopol on the outskirts of the city , about a dozen houses and several outbuildings, cars, water supply and a power line to the manganetsk community were destroyed. shelling left more than 2.5 thousand famili

just in case, i will repeat it briefly, so part of the russian units from the right bank of the dnipro riverare there, are ready to surrender to the interventionists and are already signaling this . kherson region, is mr. roman with us? please tell mr. roman, how are you? i congratulate you . by the work of the armed forces of ukraine well, the armed forces of ukraine is slowly but inexorably able to attack you now, it is very god-forbidden, the enemy has pulled up its reserves there and that is why the situation is so tense in our country, unfortunately, i cannot tell you any tactical technical numbers, but they are fierce and continue, we are sure that they will end sooner or later in our favor. we have no doubts about this. thank you also to ukraine for helping us with weapons, ammunition and reserves . well, now we have a tense situation, let's say so but major, just now nataliya gumenyuk we were informed of extremely important information that part of the enemy units located on the right bank of the dnieper are preparing or ready to evacuate, so to speak, with the collection of weapons

kherson region, the russian invaders forbade local residents people are not allowed to cross the dnipro river either by bridges or by watercraft, while our fighters inflict losses on mozkovites in other areas of the front as a result of effective fire damage in areas where the enemy is concentrated near the settlements of semenivka and kupyansk of the kharkiv region, the russian occupiers suffered losses, one of the field units was destroyed warehouses with ammunition, the enemy's manpower, as well as the loss of military equipment are specified. three hundred occupiers were destroyed by the ukrainian army last day on on the front, mostly in the donetsk direction, our fighters also eliminated 19 enemy tanks, almost three dozen armored combat vehicles, 10 artillery systems and three drones since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of ukraine. russia has lost almost 50 thousand of its soldiers. computer geniuses managed to obtain this information thanks to fake profiles of attractive women in social networks, ukrainian cyber security expert mykyta knysh said the italians tricked the occupi

russian-controlled city of kherson, ukraine's military today claims to have disabled all crossings across the dnipro rivertting off critical russian supply routes. but, in donetsk to the east, artillery shelling has killed fiveivilians. both sides blamed the other for the deaths. the british defense ministry today warns that russia is likely to increase its attacks on civilian targets, as it suffers battlefield defeats from recent ukrainian counter-offensives. and house speaker nancy pelosi led a congressional delegation to armenia this weekend, as a fragile cease-fire there holds along the border with azerbaijan footage from armenian officials claims to show azerbaijani troop movements alg its border. more than 200 ldiers from both sides have been killed in recent fighting between the two countries. in a news conference, pelosi condemned the violence, and said the blame lies squarely with baijan. >> this was initiated by the azeris, and that there has to be recognition of that and how that will stop. the territorial security and sovereignty of armenia, the democracy of armenia, is a value to us in americ

it can be assumed that our troops have and will push russian forces to the dnipro river in order to narrow the strip currently controlled by the enemy on the right bank, which is 150 km long and 60 km in the widest part, so it is also possible in the future to split the enemy group into two separate cauldrons or sacks, but it won't happen tomorrow , so it will take weeks or months to carry out those operations again, so let's not rush ahead , as they say, with excessive expectations, although i really see signs of the gains of the armed forces with manifestations of the first line of defense, but the enemy's resistance at the next frontiers affects at the pace of our advance. at the same time, it is clear that the geography of this bridgehead is favorable specifically for ukrainian forces, and there are all the prerequisites for establishing an advantage over the enemy in this area, if not in personnel, then primarily in the fire maneuvers demonstrated by our troops are thinning out the enemy's defenses with long-range strikes of high-mars and artillery today, the press center of the defen

-e of the dnipro river, there is a lot of information about this area, there is also a situation thatwith a bridgehead around visokopil well, and the third direction where the ukrainian military is operating is precisely the route of mykolaiv, kherson, advancing towards chernobaivka, but this is what was visible from maps during the week that there is a more active advance and the places that are vacated there, i think we need to wait for a message from the command of the south, but i repeat, the liberation of the right bank will not be easy, i repeat, rejecting the territory of the enemy has a significant amount of equipment, e-e, reserves are still preserved, despite the fact that logistics are complicated, the enemy is still resisting this area will not be easy to replace, but it will be implemented over a period of time. to cause a drastic change in the right bank if you rely on the conclusions of the institute for the study of war, i hope that these conclusions are correct, and war is always associated with surprises, so one must be careful about any predictions. about the right

transfer the troops to kharkiv to the kherson direction and to this day to on the right bank of the dnipro riverps and the most important troops of the russian federation participating in this war are concentrated today, they are for the party on a-a on the right bank of the dnipro. direction, and they can no longer withdraw the troops from the right bank, they are a sack of fire there, that is, in fact, you think that russia will not have enough forces to repel the ukrainian counteroffensive in several directions, so absolutely true, and even that army corps and reserve which they have created today, by the way, they are only two-thirds of the way to the end. they still can't decide where to move it in order to strengthen the front, but it won't decide what the key conditions should be for the ukrainian military to introduce a successful a counteroffensive both in the east and in the south. here's your assessment. well, let's say i'm completely impartial to call it a counteroffensive. these are counteroffensive actions within the limits of uh, separate operational directions. we are demonstrati

they write about what satellite images show that the occupiers forbade civilians to cross the dnipro riverh through the city and by planned means, the headquarters of the armed forces of ukraine informs what information do you have about this during the last period in general and two weeks in particular, in hungary, the weapons of ukraine and uh and uh it is possible. well, it is clear that during this period , kovalenko's referral technique is being used with us, but the communication is a little disappointing. let's try to re-dial the mayor of nova kakhovka so that we can hear them well and everything is normal. what is he saying, because it’s not so much. why? that’s why the information of ukraine continues to attack russian logistics chains through the dnipro. as a result of a series of ukrainian defenders, a bridge collapsed in the temporarily occupied novaya kakhovka. this was reported by a swiss researcher, you said of satellite images, benjamin pitte, he also published a corresponding photo of the cities the novokakhov dam has collapsed due to numerous ukrainian attacks, the railwa

russian logistics to go after weapons depots to try and really knock out those bridges across the dnipro river to basically trap the russian troops around on the west bank of that very, very wide pro river i'm still in touch with some people who have stayed there who haven't left and they are basically not leaving their houses. they are staying put. having previously lived in a situation where it was basically every evening artillery fire around 9:10 p.m. it now seems to be pretty much all day and the people there are just sitting put and hoping that this kind of passes them without too much in the way of devastation for the civilian population although officials in kiev have actually just said that people should be leaving that they at least before the cold war gets the cold weather gets there. i mean that's definitely been the call along to encourage people to leave but the question is how so the safest route has for now until now been through russian annexed crimea and then people have been traveling often extraordinary lengths through crimea through russia georgia, turkey to get to ukraine

increasing now again, the occupiers are trying to establish e penton ferry crossings across the dnipro riverexample, the antonov bridge and the counterattacks of our armed forces in the direction of the escaped person were sent to novaya kakhovka, well, accordingly, the information appeared, we can only ask you to confirm or deny it in the temporarily occupied kherson, explosions are reported, uh , jesus reports jointly, and well, local telegram channels say about probable explosions in the area of ​​the village of antonivka, which is located near kherson, and other telegram channels write about explosions in the area of ​​the kolo hotel and the court in oleshki, hear something about it from your private sources of information in antonivka bridge and, well, oleshkiv, in fact, they are close to that, and the information was provided, it could be skazhem , so, well, confused from the point of view of the location, but what concerns the kolos hotel, there is information and video, photo materials that only strike this object and before that there was information that groups of enemy occupiers w

new kakhovka. next to that hydroelectric power plant on which there was a bridge crossing the dnipro river the main industrial zone. the kakhovka industrial zone is quite, so to speak, distant the main residential massif of light, which is home to about half of the population in kakhovka, and even further from this industrial zone is the rest of the old old city and the suburbs like this. that is why this detonation is different from novaya kakhovka, where, let's say, sometimes detonations caused significant problems for the local population because part of the apartment buildings simply goes into this industrial zone, so to speak, along the street , located in kakhovka, fortunately, this is not threatened, and therefore the date is normal. there are several factories there. things built already during the independence of ukraine, such as a laundry, this is the food processing industry, the food industry is the processing of agricultural products, and on the territory of these enterprises, the russians have located their warehouses. how is it that they do this, uh, and take it out, when th

next time they nullified the aggressor's attempts to resume the transfer of troops across the dnipro rivere displaced people in khmelnytskyi will be able to choose and dry things for free. a public laundry has opened there. laundry products are distributed free of charge. moysenko, yana was one of the first to use the services of the laundry. due to the full-scale invasion of the russians, the woman and her family were forced to leave their native mykolaiv at home i'm joking in the hostel, and then i already bring a package . it was completely different. the family has been living in the hostel for six months, so the laundry room says it will make our life in the hostel much easier. in general, the conditions are very modest, and they gave us such a brain, and everything, that is, wash t-shirts by hand. well, t-shirts can be washed, but underwear it is very difficult, and she was very necessary . if more machines are delivered, it will be cool in general. yana brought her powder. tumble dryers, however, a total of 14 appliances can be placed here, the location is currently operating in tes

accumulated here, the armed forces ukraine began to completely destroy the water crossings across the dnipro riverfirst of all, they bled this group, which is located here, made it less effective, and on the other hand , in fact, they deprived it of its mobility, deprived the russian federation of the ability to be mobile, now remove these units and again, even transfer them to other areas of the front. i just want to remind you that at the beginning of the summer, in particular, it was reported that the russians were taking units from the izyum kharkiv direction in order to strengthen south, now we see that all these units that are now closed here on the right bank of the dnieper e in fact, it is possible and should have been the second echelon that could stand in the way of our troops and now thanks to the fact that they are here, our armed forces were able to do such a simply phenomenal e -e forced-forced march of throwing at the bodies of the enemy i think that uh, at least this event that is happening now is um, the parliament is at war uh, because from this moment, in fact, from the middle o

the attempts of the armed forces of ukraine to move forward in the direction of kherson and the dnipro river there is an interesting trend, as if engineering units of the armed forces of the russian federation are making efforts to restore e-e guests on in the area of ​​nova kakhovka in the area of ​​the dam , during the week attempts were observed to restore this bridge crossing e-e the driver of the not destroyed airlocks was e-e loaded about 30 kamaz clutches i.e. the enemy is trying to create something that will be either impossible or extremely difficult to destroy the used mtu 90 tank bridge-layers are given thus, the crossing over the destroyed bridges continues attempts to cross to something from the left bank to the right and with the help of bars. well, again, all this cannot fully restore the normal logistical support of the governing body of this group. they are located separately across the dnipro on the east bank. zone forces the enemy to search for an answer to the question of how to stop the armed forces and what to do with the right flank of their luhansk group in the south

with rumors that the troops of the so-called dpr left kiselyvka and retreated back towards the dnipro river noted that kiselyvka is an operationally important place for russian troops because it is the last large settlement along highway 58 and the railway line between the current ukrainian positions and chernobaivka, the extreme part of kherson oblast, the deputy head of the administration of the so-called of the occupied novaya kakhovka in the kherson region, vitaly gura, who, as previously reported, had been killed, now appeared on the air of a russian tv channel as one of those resurrected after the balance according to this collaborator, his death on the sixth of august was allegedly staged and staged by the russian fsb and received information about an assassination attempt on him. he says that at the beginning of august, they approached me and said that an assassination attempt was being prepared against me. they gave me a recording that they had that they wanted to kill me. they want to kill you if you talk to the balance, moreover, the information about the balance has already appe

the occupiers left their advanced positions in kiselyivka near kherson and retreated towards the dnipro riverithdrawal may call into question the defense of the russians in the north - the western outskirts of kherson and shows that the putinites felt a threat to their positions, analysts believe that against the background of the successes of the ukrainians, the russian military command can suspend the deployment of newly formed units in ukraine , it will take years for russia to restore the units to oppose nato, which defeated the armed forces of ukraine. this was stated in the british intelligence , there they noted that the first guards was one of the most prestigious in russia, it was intended for the defense of moscow and counterstrikes in the event of a war with nato because our formations of the western military district have suffered heavy losses, the russian forces are now seriously weakened, the sports of odesa, according to the program of the grain initiative, another 7 ships came out of of ukrainian crops, according to the ministry of infrastructure of ukraine, more than 150,000

here they sank a barge on the dnipro river, which was just naphana napham napham na ukrainian paratrooperstory p serhiy a little details if you could even see the evidence yesterday it was a message from russian propagandists there. that is, it is something new, something that does not cross our minds at all, because, well, this is the impression that in the in russian, any kind of factage is carried out as if it were passed off as such a truth, that is, some kind of bash was shown at which ukrainian writers were supposedly there, who were supposed to storm the zaporizhia npp, that is, i think that if there are to create such a ranking of a few russian fakes, then it will be somewhere in the second place, because it is still in the first place. i have this from konashenko's statement that they destroyed mercedes and show the building and the second floor buildings, it's not like heimer was standing on the second floor of this building, they destroyed this car, these buildings. so, we probably shouldn't be surprised on the one hand. these soldiers who are forced forming your alya victory in

the armed forces of ukraine is to liberate at least the entire territory of north or west of the dnipro riveremphasized that the ukrainian forces intend to return not only the city of kherson, but also nova kakhovka, where the hydroelectric power stations and the canal that supplies water to the crimea are located, and the head of the us department of defense, austin, will announce the next package of aid to ukraine today in germany, there at 10 :55 the fifth rm will begin, pentagon chief lloyd austin will announce it in germany. this is reported by all of spain. this statement was made by the deputy minister of defense kohl kolen-kal kaliy clarified what is in the new package military aid will include, among other things, additional ammunition for high-bucks salvo missile systems, there will absolutely be more gm l-rs ammunition - this is really what the ukrainians need, he told oleksandr gunko, is he with us? tell me, please, the editor-in-chief of nova kakhovka should join oleksandr greetings good afternoon now we will hear oleksandr hunko with us, let's establish a connection so that we n

he's very eloquent. the moment when the russian military crossed the dnipro river and this is what happenedthem there, let's see, there really is a certain limit to humanity, we discussed for a long time to show these shots, that is, this face is scared russian oh, who survived during the shelling of only our victory like that saying about a russian warship which should follow a well- known course. let's hear what zulazhnyi predicts together with zabrodsky. let's give a short extract from the interview of oleksiy danilov, secretary of the national security and defense council. he has something i am optimistic about how long this confrontation will last. the only thing we can agree on is when you say that we will have to fight this aggressor for years. i am more optimistic in this case. i have my own forecast . you know this. i say that it will be a difficult war. two victories will be behind us. we will have three. and it will not be a quick victory. it will definitely not be years and at the same time we will not listen to everyone in our studio having time to comment . the same oleksiy ar

large group, really there, manpower was transferred they were all based on the right bank of the dnipro riverhe suburbs of kherson, and were moving a little further, and we will say the southern front, which is between kherson and mykolaiv, it is also located in a very in the active phase of hostilities, and you and i know very well that there were such strong hits right at the target, the ammunition depots located there on the territory adjacent to the regional center in the regional center itself was destroyed, let's say so, there will be some health and entertainment center which belonged to kaza and er. there were a large number of occupiers there. of course, this is all their er. well, let's say conditionally stimulates some kind of repression that they are trying to carry out against the civilian population. they went to search again. again all the garages are opened. and how does the occupier work with the property of the occupied territories? we all know very well, i think, that it breaks out, breaks out of the gate, breaks out of the door, people are captured, it has already been con

reporter: that looking unlikely of course, this power plant remember is on the left bank of the dnipro river, part of those lands concurred by russia since the month of march. and just ahead of the u.n. security council meeting, the russian ambassador very clear about the fact that they would not be allowing that sort of demilitarize d zone to be creatd because he said ukrainians would come straight back in. and we're hearing from sergey lavrov saying that russia is looking at clarifications from the iaea about exactly what it is asking for. but that requirement, that request, that demand that it be turned into a safe zone, a security protection zone, looking extremely unlikely for that to happen. but still inspectors remain there in very difficult circumstances. that was another part of the report published yesterday by the iaea suggesting what was needed is greater protection for the workers who needed to think able to go about their job in peace and safety. for the time being though little concrete progress made. >> melissa bell, thank you. >>> seattle public schools are canceling their f

the iaea inspectors are inside, that that might quite things along it, but yet it sits on the dnipro riverch is the frontline, on the right side ukrainian forces and the left bank just to the south of zaporizhzhia itself lies that nuclear power plant which has found itself since march in the hands of russian forces. now, what had been imagined is that because those six inspectors are still there, and due to deliver their report early next week, that might calm things around the plant. sadly that has not been the case. so shelling once again shifting off that fifth reactor according to the ukrainian nuclear operator which continues to operate the site even though it is in russian hands. so again, exactly what the head of the iaea mission had said when he was there thursday, it is that that has to stop given the dangers that are involved. and it is dangerous do with the power supply that people are really worried about because that is what has the potential to really cause those reactorst power supply that people are really worried about because that is what has the potential to really cause

at least kherson if they succeeded in cutting off russian reinforce s and resupply across the dnipro riverstep. if the russian command and control is attacked, that's another big step. and they have artillery, they are using it, this is a reconsense led attack. but they need armored fighting vehicles, more artillery, air fighter bombers and long range missiles. so they're a long way from having everything they need . this is a very, very important attack strategically and politically for ukraine. >> we have been learning through cnn reporting that ukraine and the u.s. war gamed this counteroffensive out to some degree in advance of this. and it appears that the u.s. counseled ukraine away from a more expansive counteroffensive. seemed to direct them to focus their fire and resources on kherson. was that the right call in your view? >> well, absolutely. i mean, look, it is like the old story about the invasion of france and d-day, france has several thousand miles of coastline. it could be invaded anywhere. but you have to invade it somewhere. so of this 1500 kilometers of front, you have t

it rests along the dnipro river inside a battle zone. currently held by russians but operated by ukrainians. both sides agreed to access by the international atomic energy agency. the six reactors make this plant particularly perilous. >> weighing both t costs and having come so far, we are not stopping. we are moving on. >> fighting near the plant has gone on for six months, since the start of the war, sparking international outcry. >> warning lights are flashing. >> and fears of a meltdown that would dwarf chernobyl. just today, shelling shutdown one reactor and set up emergency procedures. russians publicly are stressing stability. >> we are doing everything to ensure that this plant is safe and for the iaea mission to carry out all its plans. >> after assessing the threat, the iaea says a team will stay there in hopes of demilitarized and the plant and avoiding a widescale tragedy. >> back in this country, the u.s. military says reports of sexual assault rose 13% last year over the year before. the numbers released today also show so

about kherson province, you're talking about a massive-sized russian force to the west of the dnipro riveri would estimate it's between 5 and 15,000 russian forces that could be trapped to the west of that river. so if ukraine is able to bag that force, and you have five to 15,000 prisoners of war in a province or an oblask is russia is now claiming part of russian territory, it could certainly up the ante. we're into a very tense phase of this operation right now. >> we certainly are. and, as i said, you saw it just by the simple one example i gave, the worst day for stocks in russia, the way they see it there since the invasion began. it is a crucial moment. thank you all very much. >>> and next trump's own choice for special master. questioning the very heart of trump's legal argument. >>> plus, the migrants sent to martha's vineyard filing lawsuit against the florida governor. >>> hurricane fiona now intensifying to a category 3 storm. with fidelity income planning, we'll help you create a clear, personalized plan for cash flow, even when you're not working. a an that includes all your

at this, this area right here, so everything in ukraine is basically divided by this river, the dnipro river everything to the east is much easier for russia to gain ahold of because when they first started this, they were basically moving like this. they were moving into ukraine from russia. but they were unable to prosecute their advantage this way, and what this means is this area right here, the area around kharkiv and then this area down in through the eastern part, this area is so important from a resources standpoint, from an industrial standpoint, and it's in essence with the xepg of the agriculture regions, the most important part of ukraine from an economic standpoint. >> i remember earlier when this invasion began, we talked about how ukraine might have a fighting spirit in a much greater amount than russia but russia had the numbers. however, that seems to have flipped. russia says ukrainian forces outnumber them by eight times, although i don't think russia has the same fighting spirit. i'm just talking about the numbers. are you confident ukraine will be able to hold on to this

it sits on the south bank of a huge reservoir on the dnipro river, that divides ukraine and russian forces this massive nuclear plant is actually on the front lines of the war. official from the un push for russian allowing a group of independent inspectors to assess the damage at the plant after both the ukrainian and russian forces says the plant was hit by shelling during combat. on friday, the iaea chief, rafael grossi, said his team was able to see everything they asked for. he said they'd be issuing a safety report early next week. this is video of the inspectors arriving. it's been released by russian tv outlets. ukraine's president, zelenskyy, expressed that the russians were in going to allow the independent team to do an impartial investigation. nbc's jay gray has been following the story. he's in zaporizhzhia right now. jay, tell me about this. there's some conflict about both whether they have all the access they needed, what they saw, and fundamentally, the big important question is, the condition of that actual plant. >> yeah, no, you're absolutely right. let's start with wha

the zaparozhizhia power plant sits on the banks of the dnipro river — just 200 kilometres away from crimeasia annexed in 2014. so it's a strategic prize for russia, which seized it back in march. it's the largest nuclear power plant in europe and the tenth largest in the world. we know that one of two operational reactors at the plant has been shut down due to the fighting nearby. there are other safety concerns too. this is the director—general of the international committee of the red cross. in the event of a nuclear leak it would be difficult if not impossible to provide humanitarian assistance. it is therefore high time to stop playing with fire and instead take complete measures to protect this facility and others like it from any military operations. you can hear wider consequences there. let's get more from our correspondent hugo bachega in kyiv. it was a tense day. but finally, the international inspectors managed to visit the nuclear power complex. it was a quick visit. we still don't know which parts of the facility they were allowed to see and whether they managed to interview t

they hit us along the dnipro and kryvyi rivers with 59 different types of rockets from planes. we areaxing unfortunately for these missiles, they have s300 damn it, more than 9,000 are still left, as our military says, that is why everyone must follow the rules of anti-aircraft security and be vigilant, mr. oleksandr, but the day before , the armed forces of ukraine reported that near tokmak destroyed as many as three enemy as-300 anti-aircraft guns, which are firing both in zaporizhzhia and in the region, along with this, literally today, the russians shelled orihiv and gulyaipole, well, this is a front-line city, in fact, the front has been in place for six months, and the center of gulyaipole has been significantly destroyed, and they hit the now-possible walnut the photo will show what you will tell what you know about the scale of the destruction of today 's shelling results in gulyaipol, if you know someone who loves the destruction, it is the destruction and there is someone left

successes of a great country consist of the successes of every ukrainian just as many small rivers merge into the mighty dnipro today our common goal is our desire to build a sovereign free independent state only together we can change our future for the better the power is indomitable when the united country say i am ukraine , ukraine is blooming, olena, the monasteries, sing to me , mother, a galicum, i want to hear your wind from me, not when did she start giving me a dig, for sure, don’t take the village of the fields from me, she stopped, maybe more, and lagged behind they will come to you on monobroken roads, i will always come to you, god forbid, there will be strong storms, we will take the police if they are bullets, i became very good, i was not equally very bad, she rocked me in slippers , everything, paliya is waiting for me in the field, mom, bare the brace, i want to hear your native word, boy tumanula didn't the cat have her own love , mother, well done, magic dissolves the young woman. she doesn't sit down. sing to me, little coot, it wants to be your name, the word is no problem, fairy, hold m

surrounding and cutting off around 20,000 russian troops that had been dug in on the west bank of the river dniproary chiefs over the summer was, "look, this could take quite a long time, and it's only got a slim chance of success." but ukraine went ahead anyway. essentially, it was laying a trap that the russian high command walked right into. knowing that russia had redeployed troops to the south, the ukrainians chose their moment and struck in the north—east, capturing a key supply point in kupiansk and eventually the strategically important city of izyum, which russia had spent a lot of effort in capturing. they would rush to the front line, they would create chaos and confusion. they would do a hit—and—run tactic, not for the sake of actually engaging the enemy, but for the sake of creating the impression among russian garrisons in those towns and villages that they are being encircled, that they are far behind the lines, they are getting isolated. so it disrupted their ability to go on. they did not waste time on storming cities in russian style and destroying them all. so they would pass th

around kherson, the only city that russian forces have captured west of the strategically important dnipro rivere ukrainians are now preparing to expand that operation in the donbas to the east and also around kharkiv in the north. our correspondent quentin sommerville and camera—journalist in the donbas to the east and also around kharkiv in the north. our correspondent quentin sommerville and camera—journalist darren conway have had exclusive access to a unit of ukrainian troops, near the front line. in donbas, there will be no harvest. as russian shells fall, about us these fields and furrows are instead ploughed gun tracks and fighting men. ukraine's national guard leads us through the barrage. they pause only briefly, and by the cover of tree lines. but this war isn't only being fought at long distance. there's a landmine here, careful. the threat here isn't just the artillery. it's also these landmines, all along this pathway. that's why i'm following very closely in the footsteps of the men ahead. russia's viciousness is the daily burden of ukrainian combat medics. this man curses in agon
