[00:03:02] Good morning, the information channel on the first begins broadcasting live, this is the program
[00:03:06] "Time Will Tell", in the studio Ruslan Astashka, Olesya Loseva. Let's start with
[00:03:10] news on the progress of our advance. The Russian
[00:03:13] army is making good progress in the Zaporozhye direction. Yesterday it became
[00:03:17] known about the capture of the settlement Zornitsa, as reported by
[00:03:20] military correspondents, the liberation of Orekhov has already begun. In
[00:03:23] these frames, our high-explosive aerial bomb destroys a crossing
[00:03:26] with a powerful strike, so now the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to
[00:03:30] transfer reinforcements there. Let me remind you that Orekhov is one of three
[00:03:34] large cities in the Zaporozhye region, along with Valyansk and
[00:03:37] Zaporozhye, which are still under occupation by the
[00:03:40] Ukrainian Armed Forces. In another sector of the front, in the Pokrovsk direction,
[00:03:44] Russian troops continue to approach Dobropillya.
[00:03:48] Yesterday, Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone with the commander
[00:03:51] of the 76th Guards Airborne Assault Division of the Airborne Forces, which
[00:03:55] is currently operating in the Dobropillya
[00:03:57] direction.
[00:04:30] practical actions on the front line, that
[00:04:33] with the use of modern technologies, we are not
[00:04:36] standing still, we are improving, the tasks that are set, they are
[00:04:40] achievable in the time and within the deadlines
[00:04:43] that are as it were designated, that's right,
[00:04:47] the deadlines are all realistic, uh-huh, good,
[00:04:50] well, it was very important for me to hear this from
[00:04:54] you - the commander of the 76th division,
[00:04:57] she is legendary.
[00:05:01] I want to wish you success, moreover, in the
[00:05:04] Dobropillya direction, your division is operating at a
[00:05:07] good pace, higher than other units
[00:05:11] that are near you. So for this I want to thank
[00:05:15] you, your subordinates, all soldiers and commanders, convey to them my best
[00:05:18] wishes, glory and gratitude, there is a task,
[00:05:22] understood. Yuri Albertovich, well,
[00:05:26] an unexpected call, what does it mean, why did the president call the commander in the
[00:05:29] Dobropillya direction? Well, generally, today
[00:05:33] there is, well, the liberation of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration,
[00:05:36] well, the key agglomeration in Donbass, and after that, the liberation of the DPR can almost be considered
[00:05:40] complete.
[00:05:42] completed, two armies are moving from east to
[00:05:46] west head-on, here there are lines of fortifications, it was created
[00:05:50] since 2014, and in recent years according to NATO standards,
[00:05:54] a subway tunnel has even been created between Slavyansk and Kramatorsk,
[00:05:58] despite this, we are pushing, but in order to still
[00:06:01] facilitate the task, reduce losses and increase the pace
[00:06:05] of advance, we are liberating Krasny Liman, a cleanup is underway, and
[00:06:08] now we need to liberate Dobropol, which we have practically approached.
[00:06:12] And then we get the opportunity to create a fire
[00:06:16] pincers around the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration,
[00:06:19] cut off roads with the help of artillery, drones, FABs, and
[00:06:23] so on, we will exhaust, bleed out the grouping, and
[00:06:26] liberate Dobropole, therefore the supreme
[00:06:29] commander-in-chief, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin personally asks
[00:06:32] the division commander how things are, how much this all corresponds to reality
[00:06:36] and how feasible this task is, he received quite
[00:06:40] convincingly, I think very professionally.
[00:07:20] So he spent a whole week on Ukrainian positions, recorded some video and made very sad conclusions for the Ukrainian
[00:07:23] army. Cautious optimism of early summer from
[00:07:27] the Ukrainian side has largely evaporated. Back in
[00:07:30] June, there was hope that increasing Ukrainian attacks in the Russian
[00:07:33] rear would significantly weaken its army and stop
[00:07:37] the offensive. These expectations have not yet materialized. Today, Russia
[00:07:40] is using significantly more drones. Kamikaze planning bombs and long-range
[00:07:44] weapons than just a few months ago. Even far from the front
[00:07:48] line, a new quality of warfare on Russia's
[00:07:51] part is evident. If in recent years Russia often carried out
[00:07:54] unsystematic attacks on gas stations
[00:07:57] and logistics centers, now Ukrainian officers note
[00:08:01] a clearly more systematic campaign against the Ukrainian
[00:08:04] supply system. From numerous conversations with Ukrainian
[00:08:07] military personnel, two different assessments of the further course
[00:08:10] of the war emerged. The first is, if the West, in particular Germany, continues
[00:08:14] to consistently support Ukraine, this war can ultimately be
[00:08:18] won. The second, much more sober analysis given by Ukrainian
[00:08:21] officers was as follows: Russia needs to be plunged into
[00:08:24] an internal political crisis faster than it can achieve
[00:08:28] its operational goals in Ukraine. In his opinion,
[00:08:31] the advantage on the battlefield still remains with the Russian
[00:08:34] side, especially in the areas of Kramatorsk and
[00:08:36] Slavyansk. In general, Western support is important
[00:08:39] for an internal political crisis, this is what the main ones are still doing, not just
[00:08:43] Reepke, but essentially the entire collective Brussels, you know what I paid
[00:08:47] attention to? That while he worked at Bild, he wasn't so realistic about what was happening
[00:08:51] at the front, but we have our correspondents
[00:08:54] who have been working, including in the zone of the special military operation, for quite
[00:08:58] some time and know all this firsthand and have long understood who Reepke
[00:09:01] is, so we are connecting our heavy artillery, special correspondent
[00:09:05] of the Komsomolskaya Pravda media holding, Alexander Kots, is with us live, well,
[00:09:09] what, Reepke, we will answer, he actually opened his eyes.
[00:09:12] probably for himself, finding himself at the front he now states not what he stated
[00:09:16] while working at Bild, but he talks about some new tactics of ours, about
[00:09:20] our advance, but he still leaves hope for
[00:09:23] Ukraine, of course, he says, give more money, then everything will be
[00:09:27] okay, well, Julian Röpcke always, like
[00:09:30] an enchanted wanderer, discovers what has long been obvious to himself, if
[00:09:34] you'll allow me, colleagues, I'll add to the story of Vladimir
[00:09:37] Vladimirovich's call to the commander of the 76th division, in fact,
[00:09:41] as far as I know, he's not talking on the phone for the first time, and
[00:09:45] their first conversation took place even before
[00:09:48] he became the division commander and generally
[00:09:52] the supreme commander-in-chief regularly calls Russian
[00:09:56] officers on the front lines, not only division commanders, but also battalion
[00:09:59] commanders, I know such battalion commanders who, as they
[00:10:02] say, were lucky enough to talk
[00:10:05] to the president, this all indicates
[00:10:08] that the head of state is involved in everything that is happening,
[00:10:12] not only at the level of deputy ministers, ministers
[00:10:16] or group commanders, but down to the battalion level, and maybe
[00:10:20] even lower, I just may not know everything, so
[00:10:23] this, I repeat, says that it is important for the president
[00:10:27] to understand and hear not only
[00:10:30] high military commanders, but also those who
[00:10:34] do the hardest work on the ground, and as for what is happening
[00:10:37] on the ground, you mentioned Zornitsa,
[00:10:39] the liberation of which was announced yesterday,
[00:10:43] it seems like such a point on the map that you wouldn't immediately find,
[00:10:47] but they fought for it as if
[00:10:51] it were a regional center, Zornitsa was taken by guards. assault
[00:11:00] regiment, that is, not territorial defense, not the National Guard, not
[00:11:04] mobilized from the market, but assault troops, that is, serious
[00:11:07] units, and the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces pulled
[00:11:11] in detachments from several other assault regiments, not entirely,
[00:11:14] but separate units, in the end, for this
[00:11:17] village of 40 houses, the enemy lost more than
[00:11:21] a company of personnel and 11 armored vehicles,
[00:11:25] and a huge number of vehicles,
[00:11:28] and Zornitsa was generally such a serious logistical
[00:11:32] hub of their defense
[00:11:34] north of Rozhdestvensky, further on, if you look at the
[00:11:38] map, it's Orekhov, well, I honestly can't say that
[00:11:41] the liberation of this last major
[00:11:44] defense hub before Zaporozhye itself, before the regional
[00:11:47] center, has already begun, the city is now being attempted to be captured
[00:11:51] by forces from two flanks, from the west the
[00:11:55] Dnieper group of troops is operating, they are pushing the enemy back in the
[00:11:58] Stepnohirsk area, establishing themselves beyond
[00:12:01] Prymorske, breaking through from Mali Shcherbaky to the
[00:12:05] Zaporozhye-Orekhov highway, yes, to cut off one of
[00:12:08] the supply lines to this city,
[00:12:11] from the east, exactly, our Far Eastern
[00:12:14] Express is approaching, whose pace of advance
[00:12:17] Vladimir Vladimirovich recently noted separately when
[00:12:20] he appointed General Ivanaev, who commanded
[00:12:24] Vostok to the Center group, well, in general, now
[00:12:28] the Zaporozhye direction, it's such an active one, divided into conditionally
[00:12:31] three parts, this is the western flank of Kamenskoye, approaches to
[00:12:35] the Orekhov -Zaporozhye highway, Orekhov itself is
[00:12:39] the central part, I already spoke about it, our assault
[00:12:42] groups are fixed on the southeastern outskirts from
[00:12:45] the side of Mala Tokmachka, but there is no official
[00:12:48] confirmation of this yet, and I would not rush to declare the start of
[00:12:52] the liberation, yes, we are there, but for now it's not
[00:12:55] yet an assault on the city, well, and the eastern flank is the Huliaipole
[00:12:58] direction, here now, perhaps, is the main dynamic after
[00:13:02] Zornitsa, our units are advancing
[00:13:05] further, there are combat clashes in the Ternovatoye area, a collapse of the front
[00:13:09] here should not be expected, at least at the moment the enemy is
[00:13:12] fighting back, pushing in the Ternovatoye area, counterattacking to
[00:13:16] slow down the Far Eastern Express, well, this is not fire,
[00:13:20] this is stubborn defense, which our units continue
[00:13:24] to break through. Thank you very much, Alexander Kots
[00:13:27] was with us live, well, these conclusions of Julian
[00:13:31] Röpcke
[00:13:33] somehow stick in my head,
[00:13:36] his plan, in fact, he voiced the plan of the entire
[00:13:39] collective West and point two: the West, in particular
[00:13:43] Germany, must consistently support Ukraine,
[00:13:46] he believes that ultimately this war can be
[00:13:50] won, he makes the most important accent on this, that
[00:13:54] Russia needs to.
[00:14:25] Yes, here the statement is purely protocol,
[00:14:28] Germany must continue to pay Ukraine,
[00:14:31] in fact reparations, there is no other way to call it, including so that
[00:14:35] people like Röpke get rich on the marketing and PR
[00:14:38] of this war. But the second statement is indeed interesting, but
[00:14:42] if you look closely at what he started with, he says that at the beginning
[00:14:45] of June, on the front, Ukraine had
[00:14:48] euphoria, inside the Ukrainian Armed Forces, inside Ukrainian
[00:14:51] society, an information bubble was created called "Look, we".
[00:15:25] together and Russia will join it, I'm not even sure if
[00:15:28] we've fully joined yet, I think the full force will come closer
[00:15:32] to autumn, to frosts and cold weather, so they would probably
[00:15:36] have rejected this plan. And in this sense, Röpcke says the following: the only thing
[00:15:40] one can hope for is a miracle, because
[00:15:44] a state coup, an attempt to
[00:15:46] pit society against the army, against the president in
[00:15:49] Russia, this is in fact a secret and long-standing
[00:15:53] desire of the West, who tried to do this all the time through color revolutions,
[00:15:57] through all sorts of mass demonstrations, and now,
[00:16:00] what's most interesting, now they don't see that on the contrary, they have once
[00:16:03] again caused a retaliatory reaction, consolidation, a logical question.
[00:16:07] Did he not assume that there would be a retaliatory reaction, well, meaning that we
[00:16:11] would start hitting hard and that we would unite? In fact, I
[00:16:14] think they never assume that, they always somehow
[00:16:18] think, they somehow, they somehow always think that
[00:16:21] we cannot hit harder than they think, we
[00:16:24] as if we have used all our forces, they say: Russia is fighting at full
[00:16:28] strength, we have not used our strategic forces,
[00:16:31] they said, many times they said, many experts in Europe
[00:16:35] spoke and said.
[00:16:39] I'm talking about state statements, not at the expert level, not even at the
[00:16:43] level of journalists who write analytical articles, no one there
[00:16:47] should be considered idiots, they study us, they spend billions
[00:16:50] of dollars studying us very poorly,
[00:16:52] they always
[00:16:54] underestimate us all the time, at the beginning of the war they thought that
[00:16:58] the economy would collapse, that they had few experts who were
[00:17:01] evaluating this, why did they underestimate us so much, you understand, Russophobia,
[00:17:04] Russophobia has been around for more than a century, very well.
[00:17:45] They hope that these actions will lead to Russians
[00:17:49] surrendering and calling for the leadership
[00:17:52] to capitulate. This is the first, and second, who do they bet on abroad, this is very
[00:17:56] important, those very supposed replacements during a coup,
[00:18:00] that's the point, look at these faces, they are given money, they are given
[00:18:03] carte blanche, and you say they study us, in that case, it's bad. That's it,
[00:18:17] Ukraine can't do this anymore, we are actively resisting, but to say
[00:18:20] that they are not doing anything against us, they are using all possible mechanisms, we are not
[00:18:24] saying that they are doing everything wrong, that they are studying us badly, no, there is simply no more
[00:18:27] resource, for them it's profitable, because they are making money from it, here internal disputes have started,
[00:18:31] here it's Friday, although it would seem the end of the week about something, and we are arguing,
[00:18:35] well, good, truth is born in argument. And from Konstantinovka new
[00:18:39] evidence of the victims of Ukronazis is coming, this, by the way, is
[00:18:42] a continuation of their methods, when they use absolutely everything. Our Ministry of Defense
[00:18:46] published the story of a local resident, Lyudmila Alekseevna Derkach.
[00:18:49] Together with her neighbor, they survived for 2 months in the basement of a house
[00:18:53] destroyed by Ukrainian drones. Just listen to what she
[00:18:56] says.
[00:18:58] 15 Ukrainian drones flew into our house,
[00:19:02] burned it to ashes.
[00:19:05] We miraculously survived, hid in the basement,
[00:19:09] after that we lived for 2 months in the basement without
[00:19:11] leaving the basement,
[00:19:15] we ate the last
[00:19:19] beans, we walked to, well, another
[00:19:22] resident told us that Ukrainian drones don't fly there, but
[00:19:26] Russian ones do, go freely, don't be afraid of anything, we
[00:19:29] walked, Russian drones flew over us, they didn't
[00:19:33] touch anything, the boys met us very well, very
[00:19:36] good...
[00:19:54] in the city the Ukrainians are burning,
[00:19:58] just burning houses, just
[00:20:01] throwing all these drones, houses
[00:20:03] are being destroyed, houses are burning, so this
[00:20:07] is not... what's more, they are not in houses, they are in civilians,
[00:20:10] one of us wanted to put out a fire in a neighbor's house, he was
[00:20:14] torn to pieces
[00:20:17] by a drone, women stood under a
[00:20:20] tree, they are no longer standing, three
[00:20:23] died, they have nothing, they have nothing
[00:20:27] sacred, to what Ukraine should we go, where
[00:20:30] should we go, these fascists, well,
[00:20:34] despite the atrocities committed by the Nazis. army,
[00:20:38] let's also not say that all people in Ukraine today are
[00:20:42] like that, well, let's be honest and objective, it's not like that, there are
[00:20:46] sane people, there are people who are forced to be themselves. Pasha,
[00:21:21] do we understand correctly that these are the fighters who previously
[00:21:24] fought in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, then I have a question,
[00:21:28] how much can we trust them?
[00:21:31] Yes, Oles, the question is clear, well, regarding more complete
[00:21:35] information, we will wait for the official statement from the command
[00:21:39] of the volunteer corps, which will appear soon, and
[00:21:43] naturally, the command will announce there some
[00:21:46] digital news, well, roughly speaking,
[00:21:49] details. And I will say in general terms, yes,
[00:21:52] indeed the brigade is being created from already previously created
[00:21:56] units, which were created since 2023,
[00:22:00] from former soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
[00:22:03] these are the battalions of Maxim Krivonos, Alexei
[00:22:07] Berista, Alexander Matrosov, these are the names, strictly
[00:22:10] speaking, of ethnic Ukrainians who fought during the Great Patriotic
[00:22:14] War, these battalions were assigned these names,
[00:22:17] and the guys have been fighting
[00:22:21] for quite some time, these are units assembled
[00:22:24] from those Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who either voluntarily surrendered
[00:22:28] or simply did not want to fight for this
[00:22:31] Kyiv regime, there are such people who simply laid down their weapons,
[00:22:34] crossed over to our side, these are ethnic
[00:22:38] Ukrainians who associate themselves with
[00:22:40] Ukraine, but in no case with this regime, that is,
[00:22:44] they absolutely profess, well, let's say,
[00:22:47] the ideology of friendship and...
[00:23:20] supposed same spies, who naturally
[00:23:23] can be, and with all prisoners
[00:23:26] we have specialists who, well,
[00:23:30] let's say, by certain signs, either in
[00:23:32] conversation, or using a polygraph, or
[00:23:35] other certain means, that is, and methods
[00:23:39] identify those who might, let's say, well,
[00:23:43] a cuckoo in the nest, let's call it,
[00:23:46] let's call it by such a common, so to speak, everyday
[00:23:50] term, now. At the moment, the units in these units, which, I remind you,
[00:23:54] have been fighting for quite some time, naturally consist of guys
[00:23:57] who genuinely care about their
[00:24:00] homeland, I repeat, they have nothing in common
[00:24:04] with the current regime, moreover, they are now
[00:24:08] fighting with the power of Russian weapons against the Nazi
[00:24:12] regime, Pasha, a small clarification, for their homeland, is that for Ukraine in
[00:24:15] alliance or in friendship with the Russian Federation, absolutely
[00:24:19] correct, yes.
[00:24:35] under occupation, under oppression, we certainly separate from
[00:24:38] that regime, which simply seized power now
[00:24:41] and holds people in
[00:24:44] fear with weapons, thank you very much, Pavel Kukushkin was with us live, pay attention
[00:24:47] to Dani. Ukraine, but we understand
[00:24:51] that
[00:24:58] Ukraine without the regime in friendship with Russia, or perhaps as part of
[00:25:01] Russia, we need to observe, let's see, commercial break and
[00:25:04] we'll be back,
[00:30:37] Our drones regularly terrorize the Ukrainian rear, and
[00:30:41] tonight was no exception. Geraniums flew into Izium
[00:30:45] in the Kharkiv region. A group of our drones also operated in
[00:30:48] Mykolaiv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
[00:30:52] Also, daily our forces strike military
[00:30:55] infrastructure in Ukraine in the Black Sea. And here the Ministry of Defense
[00:30:58] announced that this is.
