, what was unleashed by russia , how did the week at the front pass, and what is being said about the counteroffensive in the world, what will help to end the war not only in ukraine and about the first thing that will save the lives of ukrainians in the defense and the offensive that is happening in the south and whether it will be possible to break through the enemys defenses at the beginning of the fall ukrainian peace formula was supported by 58 countries that this will give us the explosions at the airports in vnukovo and domoedovo and in sergeyevo the position was hot at the optical and mechanical plant where it was still burning in russia, lowquality turnstiles for front brigades are being checked for first aid kits that end up on the front lines, congratulations, i am iryna koval and this is the news results of the week on the espresso tv channel how much while in our country there is a war going on in the world, there are talks about our successes , defeats and prospects this week, there was also a lot of talk about the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine. Casino during the Second World War due to the strong defensive positions that the russians have built over the last year the counteroffensive is advancing slowly but steadily, said kuleba, he understands all the complexity and retired u. S. Army Lieutenant General douglas lut noted that the ukrainian counteroffensive faces the most difficult tactical task, which can only be imagined to overcome the stationary Defense Structures built by the russians. Therefore, we should not expect quick results, and the president of poland, angeli duda, believes that ukraine needs more weapons to change the balance of war and then the counteroffensive will be decisive, despite the difficulties at the front , the ukrainian troops did a miracle by pushing back the russians in a defensive position, so the spokesman believes pentahedron pentahedron he added that he will continue to support and train our military for victory the counteroffensive is difficult, says president Volodymyr Zelenskyi, he understands what is happening he is probably slower than someone wants, but an important positive is that the initiative belongs to ukraine, this is when the Army Advances and does not retreat, and this is an important positive the initiative is in the hands of ukraine, he said in an interview with latin american media, how has the week passed on the ukrainian front , deputy minister of defense of ukraine hanna malyar reported that the russians are making their bid to the east aiming to reach the borders of donetsk and luhansk regions , at the same time, the main directions of the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine are the south. Culmination this is the conclusion drawn by military experts from the events at the front of the last weeks and the armed forces of ukraine. Are advancing towards kupyansk, the parties are trying to exhaust each other as much as possible. Whoever succeeds in doing this to a greater extent, then i will be able to try to go on a decisive offensive and break through the front at the beginning of autumn, play today orc, everyone is cold and the whole russian world of the dead revenge with you, this is a video from appeared online on the eve of august 11 on the censor website. The crop is not located on the other side of the river , the wet spruce from staromajorskoye, which the armed forces of ukraine released at the beginning of august, if the enemy knocks it out of the crop, the Ukrainian Army will be able to start active operations in the direction of staromlynivka to the russians have organized a great defense node in general, the armed forces of ukraine continue to chew through the enemys defenses in the south and force him to introduce reserves, this creates the prerequisites for a breakthrough of the front in the future, any defense can be broken , but it takes time patience and in the militia slowly or not, but the offensive is proceeding and it will definitely achieve its goal under bakhmut. To establish fire control over the main road that is provided for the occupying forces, this may present the russian army with a choice, either to retreat from bakhmut or to find yourself in a cauldron, heavy fighting continues, the russians meanwhile are pressing on the kupyan lyman direction, they probably managed to capture several sparsely populated villages in the gray zone, but significant they have not been able to make breakthroughs yet , despite the huge forces they have concentrated there, the russian army has intensified shelling of kupyansk and nearby villages, the military administration of the city announced the mandatory evacuation of 37 settlements in the region, the enemys real goal may not be to capture the city, but to divert ukrainian reserves from other directions, the threat remains and it is serious, say military observers, the enemys goal is to break through the defenses of our troops and go directly to kupyansk, the current combat operations are extremely different the intensity of individual positions during these days changed hands several times finally kherson region left bank of the dnieper there ukrainian defenders have been trying to create Serious Problems for the enemy since july ukrainian the army gets a bridgehead near the ruins of the antonov bridge, the occupiers have not yet succeeded in liquidating it. And this week, the barrage probably conducted an operation in the area of the cossack camp. The general staff does not comment on these events, so it is not clear whether another bridgehead was created there, or whether it is about rets returning to the right bank , but yes the socalled russian soldiers are panicking, which is understandable. It is precisely because of the occupied kherson region that the russian command is sending reserves to the zaporizhia front. The ukrainian bridgehead on the left bank can create Serious Problems for their overturning and potentially interrupting the logistics between the occupied crimea and mainland ukraine about the slow pace and about the fact that the ukrainian troops trained in the west are abandoning the military tactics of the closets in counterattacks, it is about a frontal attack on the russian position with the help of complex western maneuvers voice of america notes that learned from experts how correctly ukraine adopts western tactics of warfare and whether ukrainian methods of warfare are justified and heard different opinions, for example that the western allies did not provide ukraine enough to conduct a maneuver war, which taught the Ukrainian Military that the Ukrainian Armed forces had changed their tactics because they learned about prorussian fortifications and that the usa would never conduct such an operation without air support. So how do the world media see the situation at the front see further in our material ukraine did not live up to the expectations of the western world in the results of the counter offensive, writes the american publication cn, such inhibition may become a problem for zelenskyi and the main challenge for ukrainian forces, there are longterm difficulties in breaking through enemy defenses in the eastern and southern parts of the country. Kyiv is expecting pressure from some western leaders to start peace talks with russia. Instead , the british the times, citing analytical data, indicates that the slow counteroffensive of ukraine is the result of a decisive military with the help of western countries, the armed forces of ukraine strike along the key routes of arabia that connect the temporarily occupied crimea with kherson region, these strikes will lead to significant problems in logistics and supplies weapons by Russian Forces are writing to the cartesians against the background of disappointment with the slow offensive western countries are talking about ukraines bold strikes on moscow, however, kyiv does not recognize involvement in these attacks the epicenter of hostilities has become the Northern Front and in the east of the Kharkiv Region but the Ukrainian Defense is holding on american cnn reports the words of the spokesman of the National Guard ruslan muzychuk, the main force of the enemy remains in the direction of kupyan, the russians have withdrawn their Airborne Assault units, which are reinforced by tank units, to the positions there ukrainian defenders are being stormed by enemy aircraft and artillery and for one more year without f16 fighter jets, trained pilots will fly them no earlier than next summer , the Washington Post reports. To learn english , they expect that the combat training of experienced ukrainian pilots will last six months , for beginners, training will last two years natalya old right espresso tv channel too taras zoftenko, an expert on International Security of the ilko kocherrev Democratic Initiatives Foundation, please contact us , mr. Taras, i congratulate you, i congratulate you. So, mr. Taras, different assessments are heard in the western press about the income of our counterattack, do they reflect the real opinions of our allies, in part, the most important thing is that we should to remember when we read or meet with such and such publications is that, first of all, these publications are primarily aimed at the internal consumer, that is, at the internal audience which explain those things that are important from the point of view of the specific country to which the mass media that publishes this or that material with these or that opinions belongs. The second point that is important for understanding this general picture is that our allies are primarily in western democracy and in e. E. , it is completely in the democratic tradition to discuss the problem from completely different sides, that is, to talk about positive moments and negative moments, about the positive development of events, about possible negative scenarios, and these publications, they also is a part of such a Public Discourse of a public discussion of such a hot topic, which in fact for all of our allies is the russian aggression against ukraine. Well, and the third point, we must not forget that this war, in addition to the fact that it is primarily not a civil war but still, this is a war with the elements, so to speak, its use of hybrid tools, and therefore the informational component in this confrontation is also very important, and therefore we must understand that a certain part of the information that is an element of such informational and psychological pressure that russia is trying to exert on ukraine and our western allies, but on the other hand, we are not leaving it all unanswered, and we are actually also trying to exert this pressure on russian regime well, actually, we have to understand that in addition to this public discussion, there is the official position of our allies. Therefore, the peace formula will not only help end the war, but it will become universal for ending other Armed Conflicts of conflicts around the world, Volodymyr Zelenskyi spoke about this in an interview with latin american journalists. Previously , a second meeting was held in jeddah, saudi arabia, regarding the key principles of peace in this formula. The president of ukraine currently sees the only diplomatic way to achieve a truce. And nuclear security, the second challenge, Food Security , the third energy security, the fourth challenge , the release of all prisoners and deportees , the fifth, the implementation of the un charter and the restoration the territorial integrity of ukraine and the world order, the sixth challenge is the withdrawal of Russian Troops and the cessation of hostilities, the seventh, justice, the need for immediate protection of nature, the ninth, the prevention of escalation and the final end of the war, any platform is debatable, and this is our approach to the end of the war and this is our approach to democracy, everyone has the right to express themselves, everyone who does not violate International Law does not kill or seize your territories , the only one who kills us and seizes our territories is russia, so we will not give it to her express themselves on the platform of peace, and already 58 countries have supported the preparation of the ukrainian peace formula, it was reported in the office of the president. The first Strategic Task is to talk about the concrete practical steps for the implementation of these points that the president of ukraine is talking about and talk about all this with by our allies not at the level of political declarations or Political Support, but primarily at the level of specific practical steps that our specific allies from among the western countries can take in order to help you start implementing these points. Well, lets say so without waiting for the end of hostilities and the second strategic the task that we are solving by conducting such events is, in general, the expansion of the circle of our allies and like minded people. Of the peoples republic of china, a special officer of the official deceased, which shows that we are actually using this second moment of this kind of diplomatic forms as effectively as possible. Well, actually due to the expansion of these allies, we are thus trying to ensure that the details of more countries , first of all, express Political Support for the ukrainian peace formula well, all that its greater number of allies can join in the practical implementation of this formula in ee well , ukraine has already started negotiations with Great Britain on providing a security guarantee held the first consultations with the government of the ally, what could ukraine gain from this as a result, and in parallel with the british, we also started this process with the United States , first of all, it is about the formalization of the military aid that ukraine receives on a bilateral level , yes from our allies and from london and from washington, and it is clear that it is about building the institutional architecture of how this aid will continue to be provided to ukraine after the end of the war, that is, when the format is clear rammstein will be less relevant and it can be expected that many countries, lets say, will reduce the amount of their aid after ukraine wins, but before ukraine joins nato, and it is important for us to fix with our key allies that even after after the end of the war, military aid and military support to ukraine will be maintained , well, at least at the level at which it was at those moments when ukraine was leading fighters against the russian invaders. And this, in fact , will be the foundation of these agreements bilaterally, respectively, russia is undergoing a militarypolitical operation, the occupiers in crimea did not sleep again at night on saturday, explosions rang out near the temporarily occupied novoozeri on lake donuzla, where a large military base of muscovites is located , there was a lot of noise in the kirovsky and soviet districts, traffic on the kerch bridge was blocked for several hours in the Russian Federation they reported that they allegedly repelled the attacks of twenty drones , there were no casualties and destruction. The enemy equipment selfdestructed before reaching the front in the russian city of georgievsk in on wednesday, the warehouse of the local military unit was on fire, the mayor of the city said that the fire broke out in a warehouse with an area of 300 m² , and he called the high air temperature of the programs a powerful explosion as a possible cause of the fire, and near moscow, in serhiyiv posad, at the opticalmechanical plant, the ignition occurred in a warehouse of pyrotechnics in neighboring houses, windows, according to preliminary data , 31 people were injured. On friday, two explosions rang out in doboyedov near moscow, after which a largescale fire broke out, the fire engulfed a car service 10 km from the airport. The cause of the fire was allegedly an explosion of gas cylinders. The mayor of moscow said that in the russian capital, in the area of karamyshevskaya naberezhnaya, a drone was allegedly shot down over the vnukovo airport they closed the air space in one of the videos, the locals confidently announce the arrival of the drones, the drone closed the space at all , it didnt even reach us a little bit. Wow, such a stream of strong explosion landed i was just blown off my clothes, i was in shock, i immediately crouched down because i was filming what had flown in, of course , the first thought was that it was a drone. So, about drone attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation, they emphasized how far ukraine can reach, one of the publications wrote why the capital of russia cannot stop attacks by drones. Is this already a new phase of the war in the deep rear of the aggressor country, mr. Taras in your opinion, this is primarily evidence that the ukrainian offensive is not only the movement of ground units of the armed forces of ukraine on the front in the eastern or southern directions. This includes other components and hybrid components, such as the flight of ukrainian drones on moscow and also elements of the Strategic Planning of the strategic preparation of strikes on russian logistics on Russian Military facilities in the occupied territories of ukraine if we talk about the strikes of ukrainian drones on russian territory, first of all, we are thus trying to understand how protected Russian Airspace is protected where is this protection stronger where is this protection weaker how does what is happening in russia look like of their territories on land, and accordingly in the air. And actually this is also an element of our Strategic Planning for ourselves. In this way, we determine where and how far we can reach with more serious and more destructive strike systems in order to that these strikes were not just of such a hybrid nature and had primarily a purely informational and psychological impact on the opposition, but that these strikes could also be felt quite seriously by the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine on the battlefield. That is, this is a kind of preparation and e planning by the Ukrainian Military primary command for more serious strategic operations ee what would hmm even further and even more weaken the Russian Troops on the territory of ukraine i want to thank you for todays conversation thank you so you were in touch with us taras zokhtenko, International Security expert of the Democratic Initiatives Foundation named after irk kucheriv. And we are moving on. For more than 9 years, the war has been going on in our country since 2014 and more actively in the last two years. Life for himself and those around him, it is impossible to name the number of soldiers who during this time suffered from blood loss, stop bleeding on the battlefield even with his own hands, a soldier can use a tourniquet, but there is one the condition is that the tourniquet must be of high quality so that it acts immediately and does not fail. If such a thing is not at hand at the right moment it will be worth life, why despite all the knowledge in the firstaid kits of our fighters turn out to be dubious components, see further in our material, we are on our feet, lowquality tourniquets, compressed gauze nalbuphine, all this can be found in some places in Ukrainian Military firstaid kits, volunteers and military doctors post dozens of photos of such firstaid kits, but the command of the medical forces disowns such purchases by one medical coordinator Oksana Korchynska was among the first to talk about the problems on her facebook page. She showed the contents of one of these firstaid kits, according to the calculations of volunteers and our conversations with the night medics of the brigades, it is somewhere around 60,000 of these worthless turnstiles, the troops entered and plus about 25 30 thousand and more first aid kits , all of which i said where there is a full chinese modlah , a combat classic is the 7th generation kat tourniquet , it is recommended by the tccsssi committee. This is the highest form of recognition for a tourniquet in the world in ukraine, but these recommendations are mentioned in in the documents of the ministry of defense of the general staff and the ministry of health, we only know at the level, but we do not officially introduce a decent domestic option , the sich tourniquet is not on the list recommended by the us tactical medicine committee, but it has proven itself well directly on the battlefield. Even three chinese tourniquets are not capable of bleeding, and one american and ukrainian one can be relied on are completely different , here is the manufacturer sich here are the manufacturers, they are made of of completely different material, they have different loops, that is, on sich it is some kind of metal float, on kefir it is a powerful, strong plastic. On sich, the loop is fixed on such a bracket. To admit that the turnstile is really highquality out of more than 160 samples available in ukraine, the center recommends less than 10 of the ukrainian manufacturers, only two of them are dnipro and sich, the experts of the center note that domestic turnstiles sometimes even win over the americans, the main priority is selfhelp, that is, the wounded first of all helps himself, because that is what his comrades are fighting for during that time. Here, too, kat behaves worse in this direction, because there it is necessary to put more effort into creating the required pressure for occlusion of vessels ukrainian tourniquets show show better results, however, despite the wide selection of tourniquets of various manufacturers , the Ukrainian Military for some reason put chinese ones in their firstaid kits and many other dubious drugs were discovered in frontline units, the command of the medical forces of the armed forces of ukraine claims that they were not purchased but received as International Technical assistance back in november 2022, and this year the command of the medical forces did not purchase any tactical firstaid kits for the armed forces, they say in the committee on national security, defense and intelligence. I understand that there is a reluctance to spend budget funds somewhere, although we have a request to internationals in the amount that it looks like , specify and hundreds of thousands for the armed forces only i will count the National Guard and the border service. And you know that we have more than 150,000 firstaid kits in the warehouses of the command of the medical forces. The outcry among military volunteers and society responded with a post on facebook, in which they assured that the poorquality turnstiles would be replaced and also checked, but there are many doubts about that were such lowquality firstaid kits really humanitarian aid , the public Anticorruption Council under the ministry of defense of ukraine claims to be flogging, i am more than sure that this is a purchase that was carried out by a humanitarian, i have seen this in the state Procurement Department for the 22nd year, when state funds were withdrawn, and then everything will be worth it as a humanitarian in these episodes , investigative actions are currently being conducted, in the end, many questions remain, where did the firstaid kits come from, why are there no standards , when will they be implemented . We sent an information request to the name of Tetyana Ostashchenko , however we are still waiting for an answer, it is known that on july 31 the problem was discussed at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada committee on security and defense, the commander sat down for two weeks to check and replace the firstaid kits kateryna halko the espresso tv channel needs highquality turnstiles. By the way, not only the military, but also civilians, since injuries can be received anywhere today, but most of all in relatively peaceful cities , the presence of shelters will help save lives, since russia does not stop terrorizing our country with missile strikes. Lives and more than 80 people were injured, among them two children rashest released two of the canders with an interval of half an hour and injured those people who helped the patient after the first attack regularly zaporizhzhia suffers from shelling. The humanitarian coordinator of the un in ukraine reacted to the next attack on the city. Where was brown . She condemned the russian attack. And they are a violation of International Humanitarian law, so for the 10th year of the war, it is finally necessary to prepare reliable shelters, especially before the start of the new school year in the capital, for example
