00:03:02Good 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
00:03:10news on the progress of our advance. The Russian
00:03:13army is making good progress in the Zaporozhye direction. Yesterday it became
00:03:17known about the capture of the settlement Zornitsa, as reported by
00:03:20military correspondents, the liberation of Orekhov has already begun. In
00:03:23these frames, our high-explosive aerial bomb destroys a crossing
00:03:26with a powerful strike, so now the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to
00:03:30transfer reinforcements there. Let me remind you that Orekhov is one of three
00:03:34large cities in the Zaporozhye region, along with Valyansk and
00:03:37Zaporozhye, which are still under occupation by the
00:03:40Ukrainian Armed Forces. In another sector of the front, in the Pokrovsk direction,
00:03:44Russian troops continue to approach Dobropillya.
00:03:48Yesterday, Vladimir Putin spoke on the phone with the commander
00:03:51of the 76th Guards Airborne Assault Division of the Airborne Forces, which
00:03:55is currently operating in the Dobropillya
00:03:57direction.
00:04:30practical actions on the front line, that
00:04:33with the use of modern technologies, we are not
00:04:36standing still, we are improving, the tasks that are set, they are
00:04:40achievable in the time and within the deadlines
00:04:43that are as it were designated, that's right,
00:04:47the deadlines are all realistic, uh-huh, good,
00:04:50well, it was very important for me to hear this from
00:04:54you - the commander of the 76th division,
00:04:57she is legendary.
00:05:01I want to wish you success, moreover, in the
00:05:04Dobropillya direction, your division is operating at a
00:05:07good pace, higher than other units
00:05:11that are near you. So for this I want to thank
00:05:15you, your subordinates, all soldiers and commanders, convey to them my best
00:05:18wishes, glory and gratitude, there is a task,
00:05:22understood. Yuri Albertovich, well,
00:05:26an unexpected call, what does it mean, why did the president call the commander in the
00:05:29Dobropillya direction? Well, generally, today
00:05:33there is, well, the liberation of the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration,
00:05:36well, the key agglomeration in Donbass, and after that, the liberation of the DPR can almost be considered
00:05:40complete.
00:05:42completed, two armies are moving from east to
00:05:46west head-on, here there are lines of fortifications, it was created
00:05:50since 2014, and in recent years according to NATO standards,
00:05:54a subway tunnel has even been created between Slavyansk and Kramatorsk,
00:05:58despite this, we are pushing, but in order to still
00:06:01facilitate the task, reduce losses and increase the pace
00:06:05of advance, we are liberating Krasny Liman, a cleanup is underway, and
00:06:08now we need to liberate Dobropol, which we have practically approached.
00:06:12And then we get the opportunity to create a fire
00:06:16pincers around the Slavyansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration,
00:06:19cut off roads with the help of artillery, drones, FABs, and
00:06:23so on, we will exhaust, bleed out the grouping, and
00:06:26liberate Dobropole, therefore the supreme
00:06:29commander-in-chief, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin personally asks
00:06:32the division commander how things are, how much this all corresponds to reality
00:06:36and how feasible this task is, he received quite
00:06:40convincingly, I think very professionally.
00:07:20So he spent a whole week on Ukrainian positions, recorded some video and made very sad conclusions for the Ukrainian
00:07:23army. Cautious optimism of early summer from
00:07:27the Ukrainian side has largely evaporated. Back in
00:07:30June, there was hope that increasing Ukrainian attacks in the Russian
00:07:33rear would significantly weaken its army and stop
00:07:37the offensive. These expectations have not yet materialized. Today, Russia
00:07:40is using significantly more drones. Kamikaze planning bombs and long-range
00:07:44weapons than just a few months ago. Even far from the front
00:07:48line, a new quality of warfare on Russia's
00:07:51part is evident. If in recent years Russia often carried out
00:07:54unsystematic attacks on gas stations
00:07:57and logistics centers, now Ukrainian officers note
00:08:01a clearly more systematic campaign against the Ukrainian
00:08:04supply system. From numerous conversations with Ukrainian
00:08:07military personnel, two different assessments of the further course
00:08:10of the war emerged. The first is, if the West, in particular Germany, continues
00:08:14to consistently support Ukraine, this war can ultimately be
00:08:18won. The second, much more sober analysis given by Ukrainian
00:08:21officers was as follows: Russia needs to be plunged into
00:08:24an internal political crisis faster than it can achieve
00:08:28its operational goals in Ukraine. In his opinion,
00:08:31the advantage on the battlefield still remains with the Russian
00:08:34side, especially in the areas of Kramatorsk and
00:08:36Slavyansk. In general, Western support is important
00:08:39for an internal political crisis, this is what the main ones are still doing, not just
00:08:43Reepke, but essentially the entire collective Brussels, you know what I paid
00:08:47attention to? That while he worked at Bild, he wasn't so realistic about what was happening
00:08:51at the front, but we have our correspondents
00:08:54who have been working, including in the zone of the special military operation, for quite
00:08:58some time and know all this firsthand and have long understood who Reepke
00:09:01is, so we are connecting our heavy artillery, special correspondent
00:09:05of the Komsomolskaya Pravda media holding, Alexander Kots, is with us live, well,
00:09:09what, Reepke, we will answer, he actually opened his eyes.
00:09:12probably for himself, finding himself at the front he now states not what he stated
00:09:16while working at Bild, but he talks about some new tactics of ours, about
00:09:20our advance, but he still leaves hope for
00:09:23Ukraine, of course, he says, give more money, then everything will be
00:09:27okay, well, Julian Röpcke always, like
00:09:30an enchanted wanderer, discovers what has long been obvious to himself, if
00:09:34you'll allow me, colleagues, I'll add to the story of Vladimir
00:09:37Vladimirovich's call to the commander of the 76th division, in fact,
00:09:41as far as I know, he's not talking on the phone for the first time, and
00:09:45their first conversation took place even before
00:09:48he became the division commander and generally
00:09:52the supreme commander-in-chief regularly calls Russian
00:09:56officers on the front lines, not only division commanders, but also battalion
00:09:59commanders, I know such battalion commanders who, as they
00:10:02say, were lucky enough to talk
00:10:05to the president, this all indicates
00:10:08that the head of state is involved in everything that is happening,
00:10:12not only at the level of deputy ministers, ministers
00:10:16or group commanders, but down to the battalion level, and maybe
00:10:20even lower, I just may not know everything, so
00:10:23this, I repeat, says that it is important for the president
00:10:27to understand and hear not only
00:10:30high military commanders, but also those who
00:10:34do the hardest work on the ground, and as for what is happening
00:10:37on the ground, you mentioned Zornitsa,
00:10:39the liberation of which was announced yesterday,
00:10:43it seems like such a point on the map that you wouldn't immediately find,
00:10:47but they fought for it as if
00:10:51it were a regional center, Zornitsa was taken by guards. assault
00:11:00regiment, that is, not territorial defense, not the National Guard, not
00:11:04mobilized from the market, but assault troops, that is, serious
00:11:07units, and the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces pulled
00:11:11in detachments from several other assault regiments, not entirely,
00:11:14but separate units, in the end, for this
00:11:17village of 40 houses, the enemy lost more than
00:11:21a company of personnel and 11 armored vehicles,
00:11:25and a huge number of vehicles,
00:11:28and Zornitsa was generally such a serious logistical
00:11:32hub of their defense
00:11:34north of Rozhdestvensky, further on, if you look at the
00:11:38map, it's Orekhov, well, I honestly can't say that
00:11:41the liberation of this last major
00:11:44defense hub before Zaporozhye itself, before the regional
00:11:47center, has already begun, the city is now being attempted to be captured
00:11:51by forces from two flanks, from the west the
00:11:55Dnieper group of troops is operating, they are pushing the enemy back in the
00:11:58Stepnohirsk area, establishing themselves beyond
00:12:01Prymorske, breaking through from Mali Shcherbaky to the
00:12:05Zaporozhye-Orekhov highway, yes, to cut off one of
00:12:08the supply lines to this city,
00:12:11from the east, exactly, our Far Eastern
00:12:14Express is approaching, whose pace of advance
00:12:17Vladimir Vladimirovich recently noted separately when
00:12:20he appointed General Ivanaev, who commanded
00:12:24Vostok to the Center group, well, in general, now
00:12:28the Zaporozhye direction, it's such an active one, divided into conditionally
00:12:31three parts, this is the western flank of Kamenskoye, approaches to
00:12:35the Orekhov -Zaporozhye highway, Orekhov itself is
00:12:39the central part, I already spoke about it, our assault
00:12:42groups are fixed on the southeastern outskirts from
00:12:45the side of Mala Tokmachka, but there is no official
00:12:48confirmation of this yet, and I would not rush to declare the start of
00:12:52the liberation, yes, we are there, but for now it's not
00:12:55yet an assault on the city, well, and the eastern flank is the Huliaipole
00:12:58direction, here now, perhaps, is the main dynamic after
00:13:02Zornitsa, our units are advancing
00:13:05further, there are combat clashes in the Ternovatoye area, a collapse of the front
00:13:09here should not be expected, at least at the moment the enemy is
00:13:12fighting back, pushing in the Ternovatoye area, counterattacking to
00:13:16slow down the Far Eastern Express, well, this is not fire,
00:13:20this is stubborn defense, which our units continue
00:13:24to break through. Thank you very much, Alexander Kots
00:13:27was with us live, well, these conclusions of Julian
00:13:31Röpcke
00:13:33somehow stick in my head,
00:13:36his plan, in fact, he voiced the plan of the entire
00:13:39collective West and point two: the West, in particular
00:13:43Germany, must consistently support Ukraine,
00:13:46he believes that ultimately this war can be
00:13:50won, he makes the most important accent on this, that
00:13:54Russia needs to.
00:14:25Yes, here the statement is purely protocol,
00:14:28Germany must continue to pay Ukraine,
00:14:31in fact reparations, there is no other way to call it, including so that
00:14:35people like Röpke get rich on the marketing and PR
00:14:38of this war. But the second statement is indeed interesting, but
00:14:42if you look closely at what he started with, he says that at the beginning
00:14:45of June, on the front, Ukraine had
00:14:48euphoria, inside the Ukrainian Armed Forces, inside Ukrainian
00:14:51society, an information bubble was created called "Look, we".
00:15:25together and Russia will join it, I'm not even sure if
00:15:28we've fully joined yet, I think the full force will come closer
00:15:32to autumn, to frosts and cold weather, so they would probably
00:15:36have rejected this plan. And in this sense, Röpcke says the following: the only thing
00:15:40one can hope for is a miracle, because
00:15:44a state coup, an attempt to
00:15:46pit society against the army, against the president in
00:15:49Russia, this is in fact a secret and long-standing
00:15:53desire of the West, who tried to do this all the time through color revolutions,
00:15:57through all sorts of mass demonstrations, and now,
00:16:00what's most interesting, now they don't see that on the contrary, they have once
00:16:03again caused a retaliatory reaction, consolidation, a logical question.
00:16:07Did he not assume that there would be a retaliatory reaction, well, meaning that we
00:16:11would start hitting hard and that we would unite? In fact, I
00:16:14think they never assume that, they always somehow
00:16:18think, they somehow, they somehow always think that
00:16:21we cannot hit harder than they think, we
00:16:24as if we have used all our forces, they say: Russia is fighting at full
00:16:28strength, we have not used our strategic forces,
00:16:31they said, many times they said, many experts in Europe
00:16:35spoke and said.
00:16:39I'm talking about state statements, not at the expert level, not even at the
00:16:43level of journalists who write analytical articles, no one there
00:16:47should be considered idiots, they study us, they spend billions
00:16:50of dollars studying us very poorly,
00:16:52they always
00:16:54underestimate us all the time, at the beginning of the war they thought that
00:16:58the economy would collapse, that they had few experts who were
00:17:01evaluating this, why did they underestimate us so much, you understand, Russophobia,
00:17:04Russophobia has been around for more than a century, very well.
00:17:45They hope that these actions will lead to Russians
00:17:49surrendering and calling for the leadership
00:17:52to capitulate. This is the first, and second, who do they bet on abroad, this is very
00:17:56important, those very supposed replacements during a coup,
00:18:00that's the point, look at these faces, they are given money, they are given
00:18:03carte blanche, and you say they study us, in that case, it's bad. That's it,
00:18:17Ukraine can't do this anymore, we are actively resisting, but to say
00:18:20that they are not doing anything against us, they are using all possible mechanisms, we are not
00:18:24saying that they are doing everything wrong, that they are studying us badly, no, there is simply no more
00:18:27resource, for them it's profitable, because they are making money from it, here internal disputes have started,
00:18:31here it's Friday, although it would seem the end of the week about something, and we are arguing,
00:18:35well, good, truth is born in argument. And from Konstantinovka new
00:18:39evidence of the victims of Ukronazis is coming, this, by the way, is
00:18:42a continuation of their methods, when they use absolutely everything. Our Ministry of Defense
00:18:46published the story of a local resident, Lyudmila Alekseevna Derkach.
00:18:49Together with her neighbor, they survived for 2 months in the basement of a house
00:18:53destroyed by Ukrainian drones. Just listen to what she
00:18:56says.
00:18:5815 Ukrainian drones flew into our house,
00:19:02burned it to ashes.
00:19:05We miraculously survived, hid in the basement,
00:19:09after that we lived for 2 months in the basement without
00:19:11leaving the basement,
00:19:15we ate the last
00:19:19beans, we walked to, well, another
00:19:22resident told us that Ukrainian drones don't fly there, but
00:19:26Russian ones do, go freely, don't be afraid of anything, we
00:19:29walked, Russian drones flew over us, they didn't
00:19:33touch anything, the boys met us very well, very
00:19:36good...
00:19:54in the city the Ukrainians are burning,
00:19:58just burning houses, just
00:20:01throwing all these drones, houses
00:20:03are being destroyed, houses are burning, so this
00:20:07is not... what's more, they are not in houses, they are in civilians,
00:20:10one of us wanted to put out a fire in a neighbor's house, he was
00:20:14torn to pieces
00:20:17by a drone, women stood under a
00:20:20tree, they are no longer standing, three
00:20:23died, they have nothing, they have nothing
00:20:27sacred, to what Ukraine should we go, where
00:20:30should we go, these fascists, well,
00:20:34despite the atrocities committed by the Nazis. army,
00:20:38let's also not say that all people in Ukraine today are
00:20:42like that, well, let's be honest and objective, it's not like that, there are
00:20:46sane people, there are people who are forced to be themselves. Pasha,
00:21:21do we understand correctly that these are the fighters who previously
00:21:24fought in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, then I have a question,
00:21:28how much can we trust them?
00:21:31Yes, Oles, the question is clear, well, regarding more complete
00:21:35information, we will wait for the official statement from the command
00:21:39of the volunteer corps, which will appear soon, and
00:21:43naturally, the command will announce there some
00:21:46digital news, well, roughly speaking,
00:21:49details. And I will say in general terms, yes,
00:21:52indeed the brigade is being created from already previously created
00:21:56units, which were created since 2023,
00:22:00from former soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
00:22:03these are the battalions of Maxim Krivonos, Alexei
00:22:07Berista, Alexander Matrosov, these are the names, strictly
00:22:10speaking, of ethnic Ukrainians who fought during the Great Patriotic
00:22:14War, these battalions were assigned these names,
00:22:17and the guys have been fighting
00:22:21for quite some time, these are units assembled
00:22:24from those Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers who either voluntarily surrendered
00:22:28or simply did not want to fight for this
00:22:31Kyiv regime, there are such people who simply laid down their weapons,
00:22:34crossed over to our side, these are ethnic
00:22:38Ukrainians who associate themselves with
00:22:40Ukraine, but in no case with this regime, that is,
00:22:44they absolutely profess, well, let's say,
00:22:47the ideology of friendship and...
00:23:20supposed same spies, who naturally
00:23:23can be, and with all prisoners
00:23:26we have specialists who, well,
00:23:30let's say, by certain signs, either in
00:23:32conversation, or using a polygraph, or
00:23:35other certain means, that is, and methods
00:23:39identify those who might, let's say, well,
00:23:43a cuckoo in the nest, let's call it,
00:23:46let's call it by such a common, so to speak, everyday
00:23:50term, now. At the moment, the units in these units, which, I remind you,
00:23:54have been fighting for quite some time, naturally consist of guys
00:23:57who genuinely care about their
00:24:00homeland, I repeat, they have nothing in common
00:24:04with the current regime, moreover, they are now
00:24:08fighting with the power of Russian weapons against the Nazi
00:24:12regime, Pasha, a small clarification, for their homeland, is that for Ukraine in
00:24:15alliance or in friendship with the Russian Federation, absolutely
00:24:19correct, yes.
00:24:35under occupation, under oppression, we certainly separate from
00:24:38that regime, which simply seized power now
00:24:41and holds people in
00:24:44fear with weapons, thank you very much, Pavel Kukushkin was with us live, pay attention
00:24:47to Dani. Ukraine, but we understand
00:24:51that
00:24:58Ukraine without the regime in friendship with Russia, or perhaps as part of
00:25:01Russia, we need to observe, let's see, commercial break and
00:25:04we'll be back,
00:30:37Our drones regularly terrorize the Ukrainian rear, and
00:30:41tonight was no exception. Geraniums flew into Izium
00:30:45in the Kharkiv region. A group of our drones also operated in
00:30:48Mykolaiv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, and Dnipropetrovsk regions.
00:30:52Also, daily our forces strike military
00:30:55infrastructure in Ukraine in the Black Sea. And here the Ministry of Defense
00:30:58announced that this is.
