On the broadcast of the radio freedom project, radio donbas realities said that heavy shelling of the harvest area continues, so there is currently no talk of stabilization measures there. Meanwhile, in the evening briefing on august 15 , the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine reported that the Russian Troops unsuccessfully tried to restore the lost position in the area of the harvest area. At the moment, this information has not been commented on by news from the Ukrainian Border region, the Ukrainian Military opened fire on subversive Intelligence Groups that tried to penetrate the territory ukraine, in the novgorodsiversky district of the Chernihiv Region , which is the zabryansky region of russia. This was reported by the commander of the combined forces of the armed forces of ukraine, serhiy naiv. A shooting battle ensued, and then the Ukrainian Military opened fire on the saboteurs with artillery, suffering casualties, wounded and killed , and they were forced to retreat. The message of the commander of the force defense at the beginning of august about attempts to penetrate into ukraine by the drg in the chernihiv and sumy regions. Meanwhile, the American Institute for the study of war declares that the fighters of the private military campaign wagner continue to remain in belarus, despite the anonymous statements of representatives of the russian government that they are withdrawing approximately 500600 fighters to in russia, on the satellite images of the planet lab company , the camp under the scree, which will be published in the report of the institute for the study of war, where the wagnerites are actually located, shows a large the number of cars, the experts of the institute suggest that they, on the contrary, became more precisely in the period from august 1 to august 9. The photos themselves were taken as of august 9. Shall we talk about the situation further . Good afternoon. Please tell us what the Current Situation is in the north of ukraine. Do you notice an increase in the activity of drgs at that time and what is the reason for the appearance of these drgs on the Ukrainian Border . The situation in the northern operational zone remains controlled, and the signs of the creation of strike groups of the enemys troops have not been determined, indeed, the enemys actions regarding the sending of armed forces on the territory of ukraine have intensified recently, but as you can see, they all have an adequate response , organized actions against sabotage reserves , Border Protection has been strengthened, and forces are also being used and the means of other Security Forces that are part of the Defense Force of ukraine, tell me the details you can. And how does this happen, or uh , these drgs come in at night, with what kind of weapons do they come in, what are they on foot or on some kind of equipment is approaching the border and is there a version for what purpose in july, four such attempts were recorded, all of them took place at night, the groups were small, from seven there, five to 16 people, usually the tactics of the enemy were quite simple, artillery fire or fire from grenade launchers or a shift was opened targets and under cover, under cover of this fire, sabotage groups tried to cross the state border line, they were all defeated in the month of august, er, the enemys tactics changed a little, a known attempt when er, a subversive Reconnaissance Group in the area of the state border in the Chernihiv Region tried to carry out such an action on the day that the russian saboteurs also failed and rolled back under the cover of fire from grenade launchers. Also, this attempt was canceled by the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, and against sabotage reserves, the enemy constantly changes the tactics of penetration, and their goal is quite simple, it is reconnaissance, of course, an arrangement sabotage and ordinary terrorism when there are attempts to attack even the civilian population. And do you record the entrance of the drg ee also from the side of the belarusian border, or is it currently only about such attempts from the russian border, all attempts to penetrate the drg took place from the territory of the Russian Federation , attempts of such attempts in ukrainian the belarusian border has not been recorded, in addition , the ukrainianbelarusian border is, well, by definition, wellprepared in this regard, since field skills are exhibited against infantry, manned skills are emphasized barricades, antitank barricades, and preparations are being made for the engineering of the area to impede the advance of the enemy, there is no shelling, so the Defense Forces have the opportunity , more or less calm conditions, to prepare the terrain in this direction, as for the russian border, there is constant shelling there, and so the tactics of action, both ours and against it has certain differences if we talk about the moment when the Ukrainian Defense village does not allow the army to pass through the Ukrainian Borders what what is happening next . And how close is this contact . Those russians there are retreating back, taking their wounded and killed, or as a result of such attempts to cross the state border. Ukrainian forces are detaining these russian representatives. A reward was announced for the capture of e of russian saboteurs alive or dead so far this award has not been paid i will say yes diplomatically but what the enemy bears is definitely a loss and during such contacts these facts are known to the enemy absolutely clearly military action, that is, if as soon as they receive external counter contact , they immediately leave and take their wounded and clothes. If we talk about how the Ukrainian Border in the north is being strengthened. Parties, of course, this work is constantly being carried out, those units that are responsible for the area of covering the border are putting up additional minibarricades, as i mentioned, they are also carried out in the antipersonnel controlled version, as the antitank ee is carrying out additional forest rubble on forest roads and objects are being prepared directly on the border line for their destruction in case of intensification of actions by the enemy ee changes are posted in fact every decade by the thousands and this work is issued constantly, additional creation is not equal lets put it this way an engineeringtype barrier that will not allow an employee to pass into our territory if possible wagners in the territory of belarus because information appeared in the Information Space that they allegedly returned to the territory of russia and then it was refuted. To emphasize that all reports of the enemy about his movements, all reports of the enemy about any changes in the numerical composition of the enemy should not be regarded as an informational message, but if it is one element of the war, then the world should be trusted only by the objective Intelligence Data of the space intelligence therefore, our troops are preparing for the worstcase scenario and are considering all options for the enemys actions, not paying attention to certain misinformation on his part. As for the wagnerites, it is a wellknown opinion of military analysts that they are not the decisive force in this military conflict both numerically and technically, therefore, they are considered and considered only as an element of amplification of a certain certain informational noise and a certain aggravation of the situation, it is very limited in areas, i thank you for joining and answered our questions, yuriy povkh, spokesman for the United Press Center of the northern Defense Forces, and we talked about the situation on the Ukrainian Border , the chief of staff of the secretary general of the North Atlantic Alliance, stian anson , suggested that ukraine could become a member of nato if it cedes territories to russia. This statement by an official from in a public discussion in a norwegian city, orendal leads the publication and the verdensgang and here lets listen verbatim to what he said. I believe that one of the solutions can be ukraines renunciation of the territory and obtaining membership in nato in exchange for this, which does not claim that it should be so, but this may be a possible decision in the alliance itself, as i write the ukrainian edition of european truth , which managed to communicate with an unnamed nato official, assures that the position of the Alliance Regarding support for ukraine has not changed, nato fully supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the country, respectively , the position was confirmed by the leaders of the nato states at the summit in vilnius and it has not changed , an unnamed official representative of the alliance said in a Public Comment the ukrainian side did not hesitate in the ministry of Foreign Affairs to emphasize that talks about ukraines accession to nato in exchange for relinquishing parts of ukrainian territories are absolutely unacceptable secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of ukraine Oleksiy Danilov called the statement of the head of the staff of the nato secretary general styna jensen a strange omission the statement and adviser to the head of the office of the ukrainian president , mykhailo podolyak, to exchange the territory for the nato umbrella is strange, that is, to deliberately go to the defeat of democracy, the promotion of global the criminal, the conservation of the russian regime, the destruction of International Law and the mandatory transfer of the war to another generation, because why should russia, without losing, voluntarily give up the provocation of hybrids of traditional behavior, it is obvious that if putin does not suffer anything and is defeated, the political regime in russia will not change, the war criminals will not be punished the war will definitely return with the increased appetites of russia continuing the conversation about the terms of the russianukrainian war here is another news and a quote the war does not end not until the end this year not until next spring, deputy Prime Minister and minister of reintegration of the temporarily occupied territories of ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk wrote about this in her telegram channel. According to her, every citizen of ukraine should be prepared for a long and difficult war, because the road to victory will be long this is a quote from vereshchuk, in the same publication, the Government Official named five things that everyone should do in their place , lets listen to the direct speech, tune in for a marathon, not a sprint, for a 12round fight , not three, lets take on only realistic ones things, we dont Waste Resources and time on things that dont take off, we keep the focus on the main things, we ignore the rest, we have to get used to keeping our priorities firmly and not scattering corruption, treason, if its not tough, then politicking and gossiping wont work , a moratorium, strife after the war, ill remind you that according to the wall street journal in western countries began to think about another counteroffensive of ukraine, which could begin in the spring of 2024. These plans indicate that the west is aware that without a great breakthrough, within the framework of the current counteroffensive, combat operations in ukraine will continue for a long time, and if there was hope that a successful counteroffensive of the zes would help start peace talks before winter, now, according to experts, the probability is so small, wall street journal writes about it. Fleet vasyl bykov on a dry cargo ship that is cryocanned, this ship was heading under the flag of palau to the ukrainian port of izmail, the video shows how the Russian Military landed from a helicopter on the deck of the vessel, holding weapons in their hands, they ordered the crew to kneel down, they checked the documents in the Russian Ministry of defense, they say that everything happened in accordance with Current International norms. And when and under what circumstances was this video shot . There is still no reaction from the ukrainian side or International Organizations to these shots. I would like to remind you that earlier the Russian Ministry of defense stated that on august 13, they stopped a cargo ship there with warning shots for a search. Kroukokan headed to ukrainian ports izmail Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs called Russian Military actions in the black sea provocative and condemned them , at the same time the spokesman of the Ukrainian Navy noted on our air that the information that Russian Forces opened warning fire has not yet been confirmed about all the surrounding events we will continue to talk about ukraine and the black sea. Andriy ryzhenko, an expert at the center for Defense Strategies , a captain of the first rank, joined our broadcast. I congratulate you. Good morning. This morning has news hanna the painter announced the release of the harvest what about in Donetsk Region what direction does this settlement open and as far as we understand that the struggle for this settlement was quite difficult, this gives us the opportunity to break through the enemys defense line, we know that it took quite a long time just to overcome in these very serious defensive positions and well, this stack is another, lets say, a small victory that allows us to move forward. Well, in addition to the fruitful one, there are also such positive movements in other directions, especially on in the southern direction there was information about the workers and today the experts of the International Institute for the study of war also confirmed this under the Iryna Vereshchuk gave a longterm and difficult war , she wrote about it in a telegram and her such a forecast is a realistic forecast that Society Needs to get used to in your opinion. Well, you know who will give some forecasts it is necessary to know the situation very carefully, the situation is clearly a closed question, and very few state officials who work in the Defense Security sector may know iryna boryshchuk, she is one of these people , of course. Well, we see that now the efforts of our movement are very seriously activated he is if, well, lets say he is, but not the one that is possible. I would like to, well, there are many reasons for this, thats what. Well, the war will be tough. It was clear even before the start of the war when it means er, well, lets say the Russian Federation on april 21st, a group of more than 100,000 people was kept on our borders. Now, well, this was obvious a very, very long time ago. Well, its good that now there is such a consolidated opinion already among its officials about what. Well, i think here we need to look at how we e means to get. Lets say this one, well, these are tendencies for at least a small but gradual liberation of our territories, because well, in the first days of the war, precisely because of unpreparedness for it, we lost a lot of territories, especially in the south of ukraine. We remember that actually in the first week well, it was. We lost control over the vast territories of our state, which we are now gradually recapturing, but it is very critical for us to regain control over the azov region and over the kherson region , because it gives us access to a sea of prospects. It provides the possibility of liberating the Crimean Peninsula depends on what the speed of the war depends on. If you can put it that way, well, now we all see even those who did not believe in a fullscale invasion and did not understand how it could happen, but we already see how they are being how difficult it is to liberate every meter of ukrainian territory, well, from this context, what is the effect of mobilization in russia, or the pace at which the west provides weapons to ukraine because, by the way, this argument is in our chat under the broadcast, when we discuss these topics, it is always the most actual, viewers write about the fact that if the west had given more weapons there, everything would have been faster. This is true, this is the main factor, and i think that this is a complex issue, first of all. A lot depends just from the plan not the operation on that it means uh according to how this operation is planned by the company, are there forces and means for this , how to get them . Some of them have little of their own capacity to produce them, but mainly the strength and means are currently coming from abroad, we need partners because we need an idea of what this is for, well, and training of personnel, because in order for these forces to work, the western means should be as effective as possible. Lets say concepts the rules of tactics, they are, too, it was precisely western, although now it is quite difficult to do because, in fact, the enemy uses the approaches of the First World War with these , well, such, with very complex mines , but, but, well, the planning of the operation, the planning of the company is also a very, very important thing and here i think that well, we know that this is also if it is conducted er, er, er, lets say in interaction with partners, and receiving information from partners is also very important, because well, in principle , without it, it would be very difficult to react for example, because the very conduct of war is, well, it is the identification of the enemys weak points and the use of this factor, and not an attempt to destroy, for example, his strong, some powerful sides, this is possible. Well, it is possible to achieve victory in this way, but it is very, very difficult and expensive to say the same and from a Military Point of view, about otakis statement of the idea that ukraine can become a member of nato by renouncing part of its territories and giving them to russia in general, as far as even hypothetically imaginable well, there in nato already support ukraine, the ukrainian media there received some comments that this is just one of the ideas, just a conversation, an unofficial position , but if we imagine the west is tired of providing so many weapons for years for a longterm war, it could be some way out of this situation precisely for the west, so that ukraine sacrifices just a part territories, and then we will invite you to nato and everything else. Well, i dont see here, here, here , here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, lets say, some kind of military policy of nato of any connection, first of all , i dont see how carefully every formal statement is being prepared, that is, well, this is well, in principle, a statement regarding ukraines membership in nato is the official position of nato , it is formed by the north atlantic council, that is , by representatives of the highest political representatives of all nato countries of the 31st country, and without general treatment, nothing will happen, as i understand it that natop now sees the future of ukraine in the ranks of the collective Security System of the North Atlantic Alliance was proven after, as if in the past , everything is very, very clearly spelled out there and what is too much guarantees in order to help ukraine in the struggle for its independence ah well, there can be some sentences, they can be separate, but they must be perceived as, well, private, some opinions well, as if democracy allows this, but, as if, it is necessary to very seriously solicit such a sentence therefore, i would in no way connect this particular sentence with the aa well, this is how, the official position of nato and what is there on the sidelines , as it were. This statement is not i should have said that our position is unchanged, we are in full support of the full territorial sovereignty of ukraine and we know that in principle the main assistance now is both the training of our military and the provision of weapons, and in principle, the assistance of the economic plan it is just coming from the nato countries, and if we talk about the situation in the black sea and do you understand in the nato countries, including what to do . Well , the russian side published a video, as if ships are sailing around the world. And in general, from the point of view of International Law, what russia is doing in international waters. How can it be evaluated and is there any way to control it and prevent the recurrence of such situations . Well, look what i see. Its called a noncomplex bowli, that is, it is a forced, forced inspection of the vessel. Well, although he, well, we see that they are quite so active. And they aggressively give commands. The crew is there on their knees with their hands behind their heads and so on , but well, it is like that, well, it is an act of piracy. Lets say yes, but for an act of aggression, it does not fall under the resolution of the General Assembly of 14. 33. 74 and she describes that such aggression of one country against another, even if there was no declared state of war. Well, this is the case and it disappears under the roof of aggression. And we know that if it were in the territorial waters of turkey, then i think that it could have been considered as an act of aggression, i think that turkey responded to it, but well, i think that in any case, turkey will deal with it. Turkey, but again, let it be some kind of responsibility for this, the person responsible for this primarily lies in the plane of execution
