wear about the economic importance of the coal mine, not only strategic and logistical, but why do they make up fakes about it from a high american there is an institute for the study of war, let's do it this way, it's really the southern donbass... so the coal plateau, i was an assistant to a deputy, it was our district, actually, volna, ugledar was there at the first, second enterprise, in ugledar itself, it is the most important deposit not only for the southern donbass, in principle for the donbass coal basin, this is the first, second a little bit about the military aspect, we need to catch up with history, and there is such a concept in architecture, a locking stone, which is located in the window arch, where the masonry is locked so that they did not fail, were not exposed, so here is ugledar... in this sense for the armed forces of ukraine exactly such a locking stone, since the fourteenth-fifteenth year the most powerful defensive structures oriented from north to south, from ovdeevka, kurakhovo, maryenka, grigoryevka, now to ugledar went, and you are exactly in this place they converge with horizontal, oriented from east to west their structures, which they in t

china, my heart hurts, all this in the information marathon with mykola veresny , saturday 17:10, sunday 18:15 at espresso. experts of the institute for the study of warhat that the russians will face significant difficulties during counterattacks in kurshchyna (i am now quoting the institute for the study of war). russian forces continued to counterattack across the ukrainian front in kursk oblast on 12 september, but achieved only modest gains, likely due to continued ukrainian offensive operations and defensive counterattacks in the area. russian troops achieved minor... minor successes west of vyshnyvka, that is , southwest of korenevoy and north of krasnoctyabrskyi, southwest of root well, the ministry of defense of the aggressor state said that russian troops recaptured 10 settlements, which is most likely not true. analysts note that the listed settlements are within the limits.

the donetsk region, but it is unlikely that this will give them any special operational advantage for a further offensive in the western part of the region. as reported by the institute for the study of wardar is not a particularly important logistics hub. numbers, which include krasnoarmeysk, dmitrov, dobropolye and sevidovo, and we also say kurakhova, because now there is a war going on from there active shelling, the most affected area of ​​donetsk, this is the petrovsky district of donetsk, just the capture of ugledar will allow the russian troops to develop an offensive to the north and still drive out the enemy, including from kurakhovo, and if we talk about ugledar itself, then the volnovaksky district is now being shelled. a threat is created to movement along the highway on the don , a threat is created to movement, possible movement of railway trains, they are not running now, but there is a railway there, through the settlement of dolya, this comes from donetsk, in fact, to mariupol, to whom does unya refer, these are institutes for the study of war, what kind of organization is this, yes, this is a very curious organization, to be honest, in the western media space, we can of

the west of the area of ​​the previous breach of the border, already yesterday many such publics stated that the village repulsed and under the control of the russian army, however, the american institute for the study of warhey do not see confirmation of this information, and instead write about the advancement of the armed forces in the glushkovsky district. the russian ministry of defense officially announced the attempts to break through the armed forces in the direction of the villages of novy put, vesele and medvezha, but they assure that all these attempts... were successfully repelled and i note that the new offensive of ukrainian forces in the kursk region of russia was preceded by a counteroffensive of russian forces. on september 13, the russian ministry of defense announced about 10 freed settlements of kurshchyna. we are talking about populated areas on the western side of the ukrainian front in this region . after the first reports of a russian counteroffensive appeared, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi said that everything is going for ukraine. i would like to note that hostilities also continue in the area of ​​the city of suja, previously captured by the armed forces of ukraine, in

was the main missile and artillery warehouse. the directorate of the ministry of defense of the russian federation, and the institute for the study of war that the continuation of ukrainian strikes on rear russian logistics facilities, in addition to the destruction of ammunition stocks and the facilities themselves, will lead to wider operational pressure on the russian military, i quote what the analysts of the institute for the study of war ukrainian strikes on objects on the territory russia can affect offensive operations in the entire theater of war. in ukraine, if the ukrainian troops will have the material base, opportunities and permission to conduct a large-scale campaign to strike at facilities of logistical support and support on the territory of russia. can these strikes, mr. yevgeny, convince our western partners that not only drones, but also long-range missiles can also fly from ukrainian territory to these warehouses with the same success, or maybe much more. i think they are our allies. that's great they understand, in fact, i really like the institute for the study of war, these are my, you know, beloved captains, it

as they say in the security service of ukraine, it was the main missile and artillery depot of the ministry of defense of the russian federation and... the institute for the study of warhe continuation of ukrainian strikes on rear russian logistics facilities in addition to the destruction of ammunition stocks and the facilities themselves will lead to a wider. of operational pressure on the russian military, i will quote what the analysts of the institute for the study of war say: ukrainian strikes on objects on the territory of russia can affect offensive operations in the entire theater of hostilities in ukraine, if the ukrainian troops have the material base, capabilities and permission to conduct a large-scale campaign to strike at facilities of material and technical provision and support on the territory of russia. can these strikes, mr. yevgeny, to convince our western partners that... not only drones, but also long-range missiles can also fly from ukrainian territory through these warehouses and with such success, or maybe much more? i think that our allies understand this very well, in fact, i really like the institute of war studies, these are my, you know,

the flight of ukrainian military formations from the temporarily occupied western part of the kursk region, and also emphasizes the advanced positions of the akhmat unit. and this is information from the american institute for the study of war analytical center, the presence of special forces akhmat is separately emphasized. if we give in. and humanity comes to some decision in relation to this conflict, or this war develops into the very war that the scriptures speak of. to happen, based on which, i am more than there clearly stipulates the place where this should be sure that this year this svo will end, and this svo will end with the victory of russia, the whole point, our enemies, who are trying to denigrate me there, to say something bad there, the dogs are barking again, the caravan is moving, nothing else, again, the question is, then if this... ends in the near future, the near future, let's say, some short period, on what terms will these negotiations be in your opinion, or not, because in my opinion, you can't just put a period like that, because this will again be rearmament, additional staffing, preparation for a new stage, no matter what anyone says, no matter what anyone says, any war, sooner or later it ends

the time of writing this report, the situation remains unstable. at present, it is premature to draw conclusions about new russian counterattacks, and the institute for the study of war will continue to monitor the development of the situation. well, let me remind you that at the beginning of our information day, we spoke with oleksandr kovalenko. a military expert and he says that the next three days will be crucial for us, they may even be decisive, in only 72 hours, it will become clear in the near future what will happen there, whether the enemy will be able to seize the initiative there and actually to successfully carry out your counteroffensive, and i want to remind you that the situation in the kursk region is also worsening now, well, the situation in the pokrovsk direction is catastrophically difficult. it's normal, you and i will not panic, our military understands the complexity of this situation, control it, but we understand that without drones, without rebs, it will be very, very difficult for our boys, so i am asking you, please, to join the collection for 3.5 million uah, which we are currently conducting with the vesna charity fund, 3.5 million uah

personally, i really enjoyed this discussion between the minister of defense. from the usa by lloyd austin and experts of the institute for the study of war. austin said that allowing the use of american weapons to strike targets in the russian federation will not help ukraine win the war. and asv experts answered that austin is not telling the whole truth, and this possibility is still crucial. first of all, for the disorganization of the frontline. i think it 's even more important in terms of policy advocacy when it comes to putting pressure on putin. the issues are not only in the disorganization of life in the border areas. i would put a lot of emphasis on issues of information influence, the ability to hit strategic targets in different places in russia will play a huge role in the future. so it won't end the war because no single element can guarantee it, but it will definitely help. it is about subversion. at the same time, opinions are increasingly heard that the war may last another 10 years, and russian propaganda notes the next term of vladimir putin's presidency. ok, and russian propaganda from 2030 to 2036, so when will the

for the reconstruction of the ukrainian energy industry. iran provided russia with short-range ballistic missiles fath-360 to support the war against ukraine. this is not what the report of the institute for the studywar is about. the two aggressor countries signed agreements on this back in december last year. russia will probably use the ballistics provided by iran to strike ukrainian energy and military facilities and civil infrastructure during autumn and winter. analysts of the institute think so. iran is seeking to gain economic and military benefits from expanding its partnership with russia in exchange for ballistic missiles, which will allegedly receive russian su-35 fighter jets. a major reboot or personnel rotation. the 12th session of the verkhovna rada began with a wave of dismissals and appointments of ministers. at once, nine government departments received new heads. who, for whom and why. in the material of my colleague kateryna galko. rumors about changes in the cab. ministers' nets have been going almost since the beginning of summer, they were talked about for weeks and every time they were asked about them. the reason for this was either the inefficiency of government officials

and i can say this in the context of the latest attack on kyiv. here is a lot of military stuff, a few days ago the topic, a few days ago the institute for the study of war published an analysis in which it is said that the very possibility of attacking targets in russia will be a turning point in this war, those, the implementation of those attacks on targets in russia, will attack with an attack, currently ukraine using atak ms systems can attack only at a distance of up to 100 km from the border, this week the president of ukraine volodymyr zelensky also said that long-range is a key decision regarding ukraine in the world, which can change... the war must end quickly, ukrainians have the right to respond proportionately to putin's attacks, i think no one disputes that what they are doing ukrainians are proportional and fair, period, that's how it should be in this case, and i agree with yari kasparov, with whom these issues are often discussed, if ukraine receives help, it should be able to wage war under international law under its own responsibility and for your own safety. moreover, the operation... at 300 km, in general, gives ukraine the opportu

there by our troops could speed up the cutting off of the coal mine from the north and seriously complicate the evacuation of the enemy. the institute for the study of war, which is located in washington, is trying to brighten up the deplorable situation in the ssu from across the ocean, from there the coal mine appears to american analysts as, well... some kind of insignificant loss, it turns out, and the logistics hub - it is unimportant, its capture is unlikely to radically change the course of russia's offensive in the west, the donetsk region. the ukrainian information dump immediately picked it up and carried it to the conscious masses, saying that the enemy already controls the main roads, here is what the union publication writes, which lead to kugledaru, so let him take the city himself. they fought for more than two years, and as soon as it smelled hot, the kiev regime pretended that it did not need it. they also say about pokrovsk, they also say about zerzhinsk. that is, ukrainian propaganda has moved away from that practice, when they declared a fortress for every city and said that this city is the whole of ukraine, its losses will mean som

the russian federation. that discussion of the secretary of defense. personally, i really liked this discussion between us secretary of defense lloyd austin and experts from the institute for the study of war. when it comes to putting pressure on putin, it's not just a matter of disorganizing the lives of border residents regions, i would put a lot of emphasis on the issues of information influence, the ability to hit strategic targets in different places in russia will play a huge role in the future. so it won't end the war, because no element can guarantee it, but it will definitely help. it is about undermining putin's positions. it is important that his colleagues start saying: look, they are attacking our strategic goals under kursk, why continue this war, start it. at the same time, opinions are increasingly being heard that the war may last another 10 years, and the russian one propaganda marks the next term. but now the end of hostilities and the removal of putin is imminent, and such an outcome is possible quickly. president zelenskyi constantly has new initiatives and the manifestation of initiative is also part of politics, it is a demonstration that he has a political initiativ

the shtormshed. zelensky has already passed on to his sponsors a certain list of targets on the territory of russia, on which he asked permission to strike. the american institute for the study of warims that there are more than 200 such points, they are within the range of the weapons supplied to ukraine, but western sources claim that most transferred missiles. kiev has already used them. the us and its partners have not much more than one and a half thousand missiles left in their warehouses, and they are no longer producing new ones, the former nato adviser noted. most recently, the ukrainians asked for new akms missiles for strikes deep into russian territory. the americans responded that they simply did not have them, because the missiles were no longer being produced. cnn, however , mentions an extremely interesting fact in its material. permission to strike deep into russia is not even a desire. ukraine has demonstrated its readiness for these discussions began after possible interaction with russia to begin negotiations to end the war. for our air defense system, takamsa and shtormshado, the targets are not new, we know how to shoot them down, but a response to strikes dee

the troops of the russian federation began active assaults in kurdish region. putin ordered his troops to strike outside the court. october - reports forbes. analysts of the institute for the study of war note that geolocation footage indicates that the russian army pushed back the zsu east of zhuravli, northeast of koranevo, and advanced north and northeast of snagost during the mechanized offensive by the number of dorota. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy confirmed the offensive of russian troops, but he noted that everything is going according to our ukrainian plan. the corresponding video was released by a military journalist. tsaplienko u your telegram channel. oleksiy hetman, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, reserve major of nsu and ukrainian military expert, says: the russian army is withdrawing its troops, which is actually expected, but it should not be considered a defeat. the enemy has concentrated there, according to various estimates, from 30 to 60 thousand military personnel, there to pull down assault parachutes on the landing brigades of the regiment and brigades of the marine corps. these are the strike units he is trying to use to push our troops out of

by the former deputy commander of the special operations forces, general kryvonos, yes, and now i see that it is already reaching a wider audience, and the experts of the institute for the study of waropenly writing about it, it is said that we are for a very long time, actually six months we ask our allies for permission. to go into the depths of the territory with high-precision long-range weapons of the west, but as of today , the content of these requests has actually been lost, because, well , here is what the military and mr. general say, in fact, the stocks of those provided missiles that hit at a distance of 330 km, that is, to american attacks almost exhausted, in fact 90% of the planes, these strategic ones, which bombard us with bombs, have been diverted. from lithuania, which is in the zone affected by attacks, well, accordingly, that it will not be, as they say, a game changer, nothing strategic will change even if we now get this permission. do you agree with this conclusion? 100%. i agree 100%, because first of all, these missiles, which, well, you know, there is a definite fact, in terms of the quality of the weapons, in terms of their capabilities, ay... not the per

military targets on the territory of russia are potential targets for ukraine and are located in the range of atakams missiles? according to the american institute for the study of war45 important military facilities on the territory of the russian federation are within the radius of action of atakoms, but... restrictions on strikes significantly reduce this list. first of all, we are talking about airfields from which russian aircraft take off, which then hit ukrainian cities. if we look at the map, we can see that the three-kilometer atakams can reach up to two dozen russian airfields. in particular , shaykovka, morozovsk, milerove are the airfields from which tu-22 strategic bombers and su-34 attack aircraft take off. there are also airfields in the range, which... the russian army uses for launches strike drones of the shachet type, for example, primorsko-akhtarsk, seshcha and yeisk. among the desired targets for ukraine are not only airfields, but also ammunition depots, command posts, troop concentrations, logistics, storage of fuel materials and positions of russian air defense systems, - explains military expert serhii sgurets. if the enemy will have less fu

the kurdish offensive. for two days in a row, russian propaganda picked up on it a little and ukrainian propaganda. the party was spreading the option of a powerful counteroffensive, and the institute for the study of warre experienced troops had been transferred there, this is exactly what we wanted, this is what we said from the beginning, why didn’t they take them from the front line, why didn’t they strengthen them there, because we understand , if they strengthen the chicken, then something will happen less, but as of the morning here is major general pat ryder, and at the briefing, in particular, he was asked to comment, the pentagon also has its own. intelligence data in the kursk region says that this whole counteroffensive has very little local success compared to the number of forces involved, well, that's what he commented at the briefing, yesterday our president also said, he says that a counteroffensive has begun, we are being pushed out, everything is going plan, and this option everything is going according to plan, we were just interested in how you collect all these separate data on the course offensive in into the picture for today, well... in fact, when we talk about the kurdish oper

the uglyadovsky direction, where, as is already clear, units of our eastern group of troops have consolidated their positions and are systematically moving forward, they admit this... including western ones analysts, including the institute for the study of war, loyal to zelensky, and the bbc state that the strategic importance of the city cannot be overestimated, since it was the basis for the entire logistics of the ukrainian armed forces in the southern sector of donbass, but the ukrainian media are diligently hammering the opposite message into the heads of their audiences, where to say, in fact, ugledar is not needed, does not play an important role, is too badly damaged for it to make sense to cling to it, however, for months on end, those. will have to move deeper, deeper, deeper into the much worse conditions, that is, and worse conditions mean that they will have to be in a more shelled place, suffer more losses, and accordingly the effectiveness of their fortification will sharply decrease. against the background of the absence of real victories, the need for virtual ones is rapidly growing, up to fairy tales about invisible ukrainian drones, a telegram channel with tens of thousands of subscribers seriously insists on their existe

in the continuation of his pseudo-peacekeeping article , gusarska even lists targets on russian territory that the washington institute for the study of war has identified as achievable for hymers and atacms missiles, including kursk, rostov-on-don, lipetsk, smolensk, kaluga and voronezh. that restrictions on the use of long-range weapons harm ukraine, the economist writes, noting that zelensky will fly to washington again to insist on its cancellation while biden is still in office. in the meantime, as reuters writes, the white house is close to handing over to kiev new long-range jasm missiles, which are launched from f-16 fighters. sending jasm to ukraine could significantly change the strategic landscape of the conflict, since even more russian territory would be in the strike zone of powerful high-precision missiles. military analysts suggest that the delivery of jasms, which are stealthy and can strike further than most other missiles in ukraine's current arsenal, it can push russian bridgeheads and supply depots back... it can cover a distance of 800 km, which means it can reach crimea and the kaliningrad region and almost moscow.

the city of uglidar. currently, despite heavy assaults and difficult circumstances, we are in place. today is the 26th of 2024, glory to ukraine. instead, analysts of the american institute for the study of war write in their latest report that russia has advanced in the coal mine, probably capturing the eastern part of the city. in turn, the co-founder of the deep state project, analyst ruslan mykula, said on radio svoboda today that the loss of the uglydar is a matter of a few days or weeks. the day before, i will remind you, the forbes publication wrote that the 72nd brigade had allegedly already begun retreating from the izmi. the russian ministry of defense reports on the improvement of positions in the coal mine area, the ukrainian general staff comments very discreetly on the situation in donetsk region. it is only known that the kurakhiv and pokrovsky directions remain the hottest in terms of the number of attacks and assaults. joining our broadcast is a serviceman who is currently in the pokrovsky area with the call sign luyut, the commander of the company of the strike unmanned aviation complexes of the 68th separate yegerska brigade. good evening to you. i wish you health! rfe /rl

the very center, we just came from there, on the third the day of the operation of ukrainian troops, according to the institute for the study of war some areas broke through 35 km deep into russian territory and controlled the western part of the soviet union, the area of ​​occupied territory reached the main such task of my brigade was the capture of suja itself, the entire city and village, which are next to suja. the brigade fulfilled the task, i.e. without massive destruction, accordingly, the rest of the houses, i.e. the civilian population, were also allowed to pass by us as much as possible. for departure, accordingly, it also created positive conditions for us, that a large number of civilian cars filled the roads and it was more difficult for the enemy to advance with his reserve. the army of the russian federation did not immediately begin to pull up reserves to the kursk region. at first, the russian military leadership declared that the situation was under control and that the armed forces had been pushed to the state border. the group "strengthening the protection of the state cordo" was deployed on the territory of t

on to his sponsors a certain list of targets on the territory of russia, on which he asked permission to strike. the american institute for the study of war claims that there are more than 200 such points, they are within the range set by ukraine. uninteresting fact: permission to strike deep into russia is not even the desire of zelensky himself. these discussions began after ukraine demonstrated its readiness for possible interaction with russia to begin negotiations on ending the war. for our air defense system, atacama and storm shadow targets are not new, we know how to shoot them down, but a response to strikes deep into the country's territory, if they happen, is promised from weapons of a much more powerful class. popov. news. close -up photos of state awards, laid out in a row then a few more routine ceremonial photos of rather sullen holders of orders and medals. a report on the awarding of ukrainian soldiers from the twenty -second mechanized brigade, the same one that was created with nato's help for the vaunted counteroffensive on crimea. and now it is spending personnel in the kursk borderland. the brigade command does not s

the kursk region. mr. ivan, i congratulate you. good day it began, and zelensky confirmed it, there are certain assumptions of analysts of the institute for the study of war that the enemy will try to interrupt, to cut off ukrainian forces, what could this result in and what should we be prepared for? you know, i have a question from the start that the russians have counter-offensive actions, as president zelensky said, they stopped there once. well, you understand, it looks like such a specific story that we have a media picture regarding the events in the kursk region, let's say, just a picture that arises analytically when summarizing open sources, well, they somehow start to diverge from each other, it creates at least an uncomfortable impression, because once it happened, the defense forces of ukraine during this operation demonstrated a stable pace of progress there, approximately 1.3 km per day on average, precisely because the russians. counterattacks were constantly being carried out there, it is possible that until now we in the info field had the impression that everything there is completely naked , and you can take bare feet there with bare h

the enemy regularly reports here about one or another of his successes. but the vast majority of those messages are just empty enemy propaganda, and the relevant information came from the institute for the study of war, which is very active in processing satellite imagery. the enemy regularly reports that they attacked some or other settlements there , but those settlements, which the enemy is talking about, were right on the line of fire between our fighters and the enemy. battles are ongoing, well, we will inform you as soon as one appears. additional information on this matter. well, in the meantime , hostilities continue in the middle east, now we will talk about this in more detail with vadym polishchuk, a historian and political observer. mr. vadim, we congratulate you. good evening. look, we would like to ask you. we understand that the middle east is an extraordinary business thin and delicate, but the representatives of the state of israel and the hamas group have stated that they are ready to comply with the... agreement on a cease-fire in the gaza sector, it is very difficult to say how much you can rely on the signals from hamas, their statements, well, but is there, do you think there i

on the third day of the operation, ukrainian troops, according to the institute for the study of war e through 35 km deep into russian territory in some areas and controlled the western part of suja. the area of ​​the occupied territory reached the mark of 350 km. mainly. well like that the task of my brigade was to capture the entire city and the suburbs, which are next to the judge. the brigade fulfilled the task, i.e. without massive destruction, respectively, of houses and the rest, i.e. the civilian population as well, we were allowed to leave as much as possible, accordingly, it is also for us. positive conditions that a large number of civilian vehicles filled the roads and it was more difficult for the enemy to advance with his reserve. the army of the russian federation did not immediately begin to pull up reserves to the kursk region. initially , the russian military leadership declared that the situation is under control and the armed forces have pushed back to the state border. on the territory of the kursk region, a group for strengthening the protection of the state bord

analysts also write daily about the advance towards large cities on this part of the front, i.e. towards pokrovsk, selydovo, kurakhovo. the american institute for the study of warabout the advance of the russian army near the railway line south of selidovoy in the direction of krasniy yar, as well as about the probable partial occupation of krutoy yar. military expert of information resistance kostyantyn mashovets says that the pokrovsk direction... continues to remain a difficult section of the front and draws attention to two points of success of the russian army, which, as mashovets says, are alarming: firstly, the russian forces would have succeeded in crossing the zhurafka river east of pokrovsk, which was a natural obstacle on the way army of the russian federation. secondly, the involvement of the russian army between tsukurin and selidov on the railway, which leads north to pokrovsk, can be considered a tactical success of the russian forces. at the same time, as mashovets says, attempts by the russian federation to break through to silidove over the past week were unsuccessful and the armed forces still have a chance to turn further quote: pokrovsky di

although analysts of the american institute for the study of war suggest that iran can exchange the missilenly for soybeans and wheat, but also for russian su-35 fighters. officially, the iranian ministry of foreign affairs at the same time denies the delivery of missiles to russia, they say, tehran has never been part of the russian-ukrainian war and advocates its political settlement. the ukrainian ministry of foreign affairs reacted and called on iran to refrain from any supply to russia. any weapon or equipment. and that according to international law, russia is an aggressor state, and if the fact of the transfer is confirmed, it will, i quote, have devastating consequences for ukrainian-iranian bilateral relations. in moscow, they remain silent about iranian missiles, and statements about the delivery of missiles from iran have not been commented on. already in the united states of america know about the deliveries of missiles and informed the allies about it - he writes with reference to sources. the associated press agency, although the white house did not officially confirm this inf

the ugledakh direction, where, as is already clear, units of our eastern group of troops have consolidated and are systematically moving forward, this is recognized by western analysts, including the institute for the study of warelensky, and the bbc states, that its strategic importance cannot be overestimated, since the entire logistics of the ukrainian armed forces in the southern sector of donbass rested on it, but the ukrainian media diligently hammer the opposite message into the heads of their audience, where to say, in fact, ugledar is not needed, does not play an important role, is too badly destroyed for it to make sense to cling to it. true, for months on end the same info dumps threw cliches about an indestructible fortress that the russians would never take under any circumstances, and the more stupid we look. becomes under threat, well, that means it wasn't really needed, there are practically no good convenient positions behind it, where you can also make the next line of defense, that is, they will have to move deeper, deeper, deeper under much worse conditions, that is, and worse conditions mean that they will have to be in a more exposed place, suffer more losses, and accordingly the effective

for more on the state of the war, and on the government shake—up in kyiv, i spoke to karolina hird, from the institute for the studyfresh variety of russian attacks on ukrainian cities. what does that tell us about the russian strategy? unfortunately, these sorts of strikes on ukrainian civilian infrastructure, civilian residents and that sort of thing are not new and we have seen them very much reflect russian strategy to demoralise ukraine, to basically try to better civilian population in the hopes that the ukrainian government will make concessions. we very much observed that this has not worked. populations living under such intense barrages of missiles tend to have hardened result in the the war effort. we have seen this 22—24 and this is not new but an escalation of the strikes on civilian targets that we have been seeing over the past few days. it been seeing over the past few da 5. u, , been seeing over the past few da 5. . ., , . been seeing over the past few da s. _, , ., ., days. it comes after we have seen ukraine's _ days. it comes after we have seen ukraine's successful. seen ukraine's successful inc

the kurdish region of the russian federation. in turn, the russians will continue counterattacks along the ukrainian front, but have not made any confirmed advances. this was reported by the american institute for the study of warember 25, at the same time oleksiy hetman reminds that it is not necessary to expect that the ukrainian military will reach moscow, because the special operation in the kurdish region has slightly different goals. there is no, well, we have no goal to reach moscow, it takes 6 hours, 6 hours without traffic jams, as it is on the map, if you look at the navigator, no, our, our task is to keep our troops there, our task is to advance in... . along our border in order to, well, create a certain sanitary zone, reduce the number of artillery shots from the russian side, well, further move them away from our borders, from our populated areas, this will not give us the opportunity to prevent the flight of cabs or long-range artillery, but we will be able to move a certain class of artillery so that they cannot use it. the first, the second, of course, is the number of troops that the russians have to keep in this direction, we will not build fortifications there, because the defense can be con

the cutting off of ugledar from the north and seriously complicate. the deplorable situation in the ssu is trying to brighten up the institute for the study of war, which is located in washington, from overseas, ugledar is seen as an american analyst, but it turns out to be some kind of insignificant loss, and the logistics hub is not important, it is unlikely that its capture will radically change the course of russia's offensive in the west of the donetsk region. the ukrainian information dump immediately picked this up and carried it to the informed masses, saying that the enemy already controls the main roads, here is what the union publication writes, which lead to... the kiev regime pretended that it doesn't need it, they also talk about pokrovsk, they also talk about zerzhinsk, that is, ukrainian propaganda has moved away from the practice when it declared almost a fortress at every city and said that this city is the whole of ukraine, its loss will mean something there for ukraine, and they don't want to draw personal attention to their defeats, that is, if this city is important, then... there should be a certain information agenda around this

the kursk region of the russian federation. in turn, the russians continue counterattacks along the ukrainian front, but have not made any confirmed advances. about this reported in the american institute for the study of warn september 25. at the same time, oleksiy hetman reminds us that we should not expect the ukrainian military to reach moscow, because the special operation in the kurdish region has somewhat different goals. there. no, well, we don't have a goal to reach moscow there in 6 hours, 6 hours without traffic jams, as it looks on the map, if you look at the navigator, no, our, our task is to keep our troops there, our task is to advance along our border, for to, well, make a certain sanitary zone, reduce the number, at least artillery shots from the side of russia, well , further move them away from our borders and from on... populated areas, this will not give us the opportunity to prevent the flight of cabs or a long-range artery, but we will be able to move certain classes of artillery so that they cannot use, first, second, of course, this is the number of troops that the russians have to keep in this direction, we will not build there fortifications, because you can conduct defenses in d

important to understand whether they manage to achieve certain successes, because the institute for the study of war analyzes this the whole situation as not very pleasant and says that it is possible that the enemy is preparing for... for some kind of cutting of our forces, going from west to east, what is happening in the kurdish region now, what are the prospects of this operation of the russians there? yes, indeed, these counteroffensive actions, they were predicted, in the end they would not have left the kurtsk region alone without attention at all, especially since now there is information that the russian command received a direct order to complete the sweep, as they this... they say, and the liberation of the kurdish region by the day the birth of putin, that is, they received another deadline, but in general, in terms of the situation, first of all, in my opinion, this operation is a counteroffensive in itself, they, it started too early, because as of now , the line or the conflict is not stabilized, to start a counteroffensive operation with an unstable line of battle, well, it's not the

for your support, donation and sharing. let's not let the occupier take a single step further and accelerate the victory together. glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes. we are back at the institute for the study of warlready analyzed what is happening at the front and how the map is changing, and now many commentators are writing about the fact that the situation in ukraine is very, very sad, ukrainian is actually not far from kurakhovo, and this is pokrovsky, in fact , in the direction between selidov and kurakhov , a settlement. there are many russians in this settlement, they are in small groups, somewhere there they have been trying to advance for several days, to appear, we showed footage of how ukrainian volunteers, who were evacuating the locals, met a russian, a russian soldier, in the middle of a building there, the situation there is actually very difficult now, the military also writes that the situation is worsening in... the dnieper direction, and in the last few days the number of assaults has increased, despite the fact that there was a certain calm there for a certain period of time before , well, meanwhile, in the occupied territory of luhansk region, there is a night video about th

to send another two dozen joining me fox to senior strategic analyst and chairman for the institute of the study of warhank you for being at this incredible moment in time your thoughts on the u.s. sunday these trips to the middle east. >> certainly there using those troops to protect the troops that we have their and also to send a message to the iranians, don't escalate, the reality is what israel is doing is sending a clear message to the head of hezbollah that if he doesn't pull his forces back and stop shooting into northern israel is going to commit to an air and ground work to force them to do that and ascending this message and began last week with the walkie-talkie and pager attack and killing a principal leaders take it down the entire leadership of the rod one brigade which is the most elite special operation forces and that unit is ineffective because of all of their leaders were killed in the attack that you mention 1600 and the last 24 hours haven't seen anything like that since the 2006 war with lebanon and the focusing on the systems and penetrated and they hacked into lebanon radio sys

the direction of kurdistan, and vladimir putin called the events in kurdistan a provocation. kyiv the kyiv regime carried out another large-scale provocation. the american institute for the study of war already published a report on august 8, according to which, on the second day of operations, the armed forces of ukraine had already advanced deep into russian territory by... 10 km. this is how the map of the captured territory of the kursk region looked on august 8, according to the russian edition of the agency. on this day, volodymyr zelenskyy praised the ukrainian army for the ability to surprise. ukrainians know how to achieve their goals, and we did not choose to achieve goals in the war. russia brought war to our land and must feel what it has done. ukrainian officials have repeatedly stated. that ukraine is not interested in taking the territory of the kurdish region, so the main reason for the start of the kurdish operation was the threat of repeated occupation by the russian army of kharkiv oblast, sumy oblast and chernihiv oblast. in parallel with how the ukrainian military advanced through kursk, they captured army servicemen of russia among them, according to the ukraini

here i am i wanted to clarify with you, there was information from the institute for the study of warn troops recaptured certain territories in the pokrovsky direction, or is this actually evidence that the russians... cannot physically raise the temperature there by more than one degree due to the fact that that they are losing a large number and personnel, and they also have certain losses in terms of equipment, in your opinion, is this a sign that the enemy is already starting to exhale and its peak intensity is already starting to decrease little by little? eh, well, i'd say that shows just about what i just mentioned, that... including one of the main signs that they cannot attack with the same force in all these mentioned directions, and that is how we lost contact with our guest, an air reconnaissance officer of the second battalion 68 of the separate hunter brigade, the call sign of the goose from the pokrovsky direction turned on us, we hope that maybe now we can continue our conversation, but while... we are re-establishing contact, i remind you, our viewers, that we are alr

the kurdish operation is one of the key factors in this success. on the other hand on the other hand, the institute for the study of war also writes that the kremlinalready trying to find mediators for negotiations with ukraine, but you know, here the issue is divided. into two parts, because some experts tend to believe that putin is not interested in ending this war at all, when they have success in the pokrovsky direction, when russia still has the resources to continue this war, someone says that and for russia, this war is not so much, you know, necessary, and they are already exhausting their resources, you tend to think in which direction, russia is also interested in in order to complete, or after all? russia is absolutely not interested in this as of today. and do you remember that it all started in february 20th. kyiv in three. this territory of ukraine did not leave in three weeks. now the dew near pokrovsk is not very good at them and it turns out. the martyrologist of russian losses has long exceeded the mark of several hundred thousand personnel, not destroyed armored vehicles, weapons, in particular aviation components, and special

serious number of the russian contingent, which could potentially find itself in an operational environment, and i refute the information and the so-called institute for the study of warern rumors that there are a number of motivated units of the armed forces of the russian federation, the elite of the armed forces is concentrated there. of the russian federation, this is, respectively, the marine corps brigade, in particular 155, which is suffering numerous losses in force according to the russian federation itself, during the battles for snagost, the assault company of the russian occupiers suffered catastrophic losses. it is said that there are only 10 stormtroopers left alive, the total number of which is 100 or more. in addition, units of the 810th brigade of marines are concentrated there, a city of permanent deployment. sevastopol, they were transferred, by the way, from the pokrovsky direction, this is me with simple information from the western media about the fact that there was no redeployment from the donetsk direction. in addition, we are talking about subdivisions airborne troops, in particular the seventh division of airborne troops, which was transferr
