00:00:10Ukrainian drones hit an oil refinery in the Yaroslavl region. The governor
00:00:14stated that the region was subjected to the most massive attack since the beginning of the
00:00:17war. This is a live broadcast of the TV channel Current Time. Today is Thursday, August
00:00:206th. My name is Evgenia
00:00:27is looking for ways to repel Russian attacks. It asks allies
00:00:30to supply weapons for defense. Consequences of attacks
00:00:34in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Wildberries company is building logistics centers outside
00:00:37Russia, particularly in Kazakhstan and
00:00:40Belarus. Third blackout in two weeks. A large-scale power outage occurred in
00:00:44Georgia. The subway stopped in Tbilisi, and the operation of the
00:00:47railway was disrupted.

00:00:52Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukrainian forces struck the
00:00:55oil refinery Slavneftyanes in the Yaroslavl region.
00:01:30what was happening here last night until morning,
00:01:33this, this
00:01:37all
00:01:40today, tomorrow and the following days
00:01:43will be our
00:01:45air.
00:01:48The governor of the Yaroslavl region stated that air defense forces shot down
00:01:5188 drones. According to him, this is the most massive attack on the region since the
00:01:55beginning of the war. A private house burned down in several multi-story buildings, windows were broken
00:01:59out. No one was killed or injured in the cars. At the
00:02:02time of the attack, the authorities blocked the exit from Yaroslavl in the direction of
00:02:05Moscow. Volodymyr Zelenskyy also announced Ukrainian forces' attacks in the Black
00:02:09Sea. According to him, two Russian military patrol boats
00:02:13and vessels of the so-called shadow fleet were damaged. This
00:02:17morning, after a drone attack, a fire broke out in the Tver region.
00:02:21Eyewitnesses published footage of the fire in a private sector. The acting
00:02:24governor stated that the attack was repelled by air defense forces. The
00:02:28Russian Ministry of Defense reported that a total of 605 Ukrainian
00:02:32drones were destroyed last night.
00:02:33drones.
00:02:36In the Tver region, as a result of a drone attack, the facade of the
00:02:40Wildberries logistics complex was damaged. This was announced by the governor of the region
00:02:43Vitaly Korolev. According to him, due to the fall of drone debris,
00:02:46minor damage occurred. This was a quote: damage to the
00:02:50facade. Against the background of regular attacks, the Russian marketplace is actively
00:02:53looking for safe sites in neighboring countries. New hubs are already being built in
00:02:57Belarus and Kazakhstan. Will this help save?
00:05:14and millions of economic ties. Economist Aidar
00:05:17Alibayev is confident that Ukrainian Armed Forces' strikes on Russian centers in Kazakhstan are
00:05:21excluded. However, the presence of such a business creates
00:05:24serious sanctions risks for Astana. Especially since earlier
00:05:28Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy directly stated: the warehouses that
00:05:32Ukrainian drones hit were involved in supplying Russian troops with
00:05:35navigation equipment, components for drones and
00:05:38other military goods. Some
00:05:41dual-use goods will definitely be there,
00:05:45all this will push Kazakhstan to be sanctioned, tomorrow the West
00:05:48чтобы мы попали под санкции, завтра запад
00:05:51will find out that Wildberries has changed and started using
00:05:55us to support
00:05:58the Russian army, with its components, and so
00:06:01on, they use us purely as a platform. Economic
00:06:05observer Andrey Makhovsky doubts that logistics centers,
00:06:08whether in Kazakhstan or Belarus, will help Wildberries to fully recover
00:06:12after the crisis, and will Wildberries live to see the time when
00:06:16it finally, when these new warehouses will be
00:06:19needed? I mean, that attacks on warehouses continue, they
00:06:23happen there on average every 2 days, on average every 2 days
00:06:27some warehouse burns down, Russian sellers already want
00:06:30to leave Wildberries, that is, Wildberries creates some
00:06:34administrative obstacles to not let them go, well, you can't create them for long,
00:06:37in the end, okay, the goods of these sellers will burn, which
00:06:41you do not allow.
00:07:12five people died, according to the head of the region, two
00:07:16people died and eight were injured from the strike on the railway station Lozovaya,
00:07:19another three people died according to rescuers in the city of Balakleya, where drones attacked
00:07:23the private sector. In the Black Sea, a commercial vessel under the
00:07:27flag of Guinea-Bissau was attacked, it was carrying Ukrainian wheat. According to the
00:07:31head of the Odesa region, there are dead and three more people injured. According to
00:07:35local authorities, at least five passengers were injured, among them
00:07:38a fifteen-year-old teenager. The Russian Ministry of Defense claims that in the Black Sea...
00:07:42two vessels carrying military cargo were hit. In
00:07:46Dnipro, a drone hit a minibus. In Kherson region, a drone
00:07:49attacked a bus with people who were going to work in the fields. According to
00:07:53local authorities, six people were injured. In Zaporizhzhia, due to a drone
00:07:57attack, the roof of a nine-story building was partially destroyed. The
00:08:00State Emergency Service reported four injured.
00:08:04According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, last night, Russian military used 101
00:08:08drones and four missiles. Air defense forces, as reported, managed to shoot down
00:08:1160 drones.
00:08:15Today is a day of mourning in the Kyiv region for the victims of the Russian missile
00:08:19attack. The State Emergency Service reported that
00:08:22the aftermath is still being eliminated. Rescuers are clearing debris in several
00:08:26districts, and sappers are simultaneously surveying the area. The day before,
00:08:29Ukrainian air defense failed to intercept a single ballistic
00:08:33missile. How Kyiv plans to solve the problem of missile shortages,
00:08:36Boris Sachalko will tell. This
00:08:39is footage from a meeting of the Ukrainian National Security and
00:08:43Defense Council, at least in its open part, what the Ukrainian
00:08:47segment of the internet has been buzzing about for the last 2 days was discussed.
00:08:50There are critically few missiles for intercepting ballistic missiles in Ukraine, and
00:08:54the main question is what to do about it? The first obvious
00:08:57option: partners' help is needed, however, about 600 missiles for Patriot
00:09:01systems are produced worldwide per year. This year, their
00:09:04manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, increased production
00:09:08to 700 units, and this is already considered a breakthrough,
00:09:12as many suppliers of components are simply not
00:09:14ready for a sharp increase in capacity. Last
00:09:18month, to shoot down 127 ballistic
00:09:21supersonic missiles, 254 Patriot missiles were needed,
00:09:25and this is in one month, while the US has about 800 missiles left.
00:09:29Production per year is 650. Simple arithmetic is sad. We need at
00:09:32least 1,500 missiles per year. This is unrealistic today.
00:09:36Hence the second thesis, which boils down to the well-known
00:09:39formula: the best defense is offense. Well-known Ukrainian volunteer
00:09:43Serhiy Starnenko is confident that it is necessary to destroy the missile
00:09:47launchers themselves. The previous commander-in-chief
00:09:50did not prioritize hunting launchers and did not provide
00:09:53appropriate support to units that were hitting
00:09:57launchers. This work was carried out mainly bypassing
00:10:00the General Staff on horizontal ties. Such
00:10:04operations require strong organizational and
00:10:07technological components. One would like to believe that previous developments will not
00:10:11be lost and will be used to destroy enemy
00:10:14ballistics. Ukraine has already successfully hit ballistic missile
00:10:17launchers of the Russian army several times, so far these are isolated
00:10:21cases, but military experts note that such strikes are capable of.
00:10:46one of the launchers was found in Crimea. In total, five Russian missile
00:10:49brigades of the Russian armed forces are involved against Ukraine.
00:10:52Each brigade has a staff of 12 launchers,
00:10:56meaning a total of about 60
00:10:59launchers. Experts are also confident that regular strikes on
00:11:03the Russian military-industrial complex can help, which will
00:11:06reduce the pace of missile production. At the same time, hitting the launcher
00:11:10itself is an extremely difficult task. The Iskander does not stand still
00:11:14waiting for a strike. The vehicle can travel to the launch position for
00:11:17several hours, constantly confusing its tracks. And
00:11:21for this, you need eyes in the air, satellite.
00:11:25That is, the task is very, very difficult, to catch
00:11:28Iskander on the march, or near positions where it
00:11:31deploys and attacks - it's difficult, indeed, it's the same when they say that
00:11:35it's necessary to destroy the production of Iskanders, we understand that this is
00:11:38produced deep underground, actually, air defense is another option
00:11:42for solving the problem, which is actively discussed online.
00:11:45The Ukrainian company Firepoint previously stated that, in addition to
00:11:48ballistic missiles, it intends to produce anti-missile
00:11:52systems, as well as develop domestic intercept systems.
00:12:04understanding such a large deficit, and I don't
00:12:07know if there are other reasons, besides the Middle East,
00:12:11maybe these are also political steps to make Ukraine more, let's
00:12:14say, more
00:12:18compliant, yes, in my opinion, that it's not
00:12:21without this, so today we are in
00:12:25a situation, well,
00:12:27of deficit, the direction we
00:12:30started, our domestic
00:12:33air defense system, it's correct for
00:12:37today, for implementation as soon as possible, while
00:12:41Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked allies for the provided
00:12:44assistance, however, he added, quote: Our
00:12:47country, it's ours, in the end, everything depends on
00:12:51us. Borys Sychalka, Serhiy Dakun, Current Time, Ukraine.
00:12:57Russian military struck the city of Sumy with air bombs at night. According to
00:13:00rescuers, 12 people were injured, and more than a dozen
00:13:04apartment buildings, cars, and civilian infrastructure were damaged. Sumy
00:13:07is located only 30 km from the Russian border, and is subjected to
00:13:11shelling daily. Earlier, Vladimir Putin announced plans to create
00:13:14a buffer zone there. How the Ukrainian Armed Forces are holding back the Russian offensive in
00:13:18the region, Andrey
00:13:20Kuzakov will tell.
00:13:25In a car without windows and doors, soldiers of the 47th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces rush
00:13:28towards the front line, the transport was specially modified
00:13:32so that it would be possible to quickly jump out of the
00:13:35car, if there is some, as
00:13:38they say, emergency situation, then you can just
00:13:41the car drove off,
00:13:44people remained
00:13:46here, well, just jump out, as
00:13:50they say,
00:13:53in our age, as technicians say.
00:14:08Closer to the front line, there are more and more destroyed houses, burned equipment
00:14:12along the roads, we drove into the 20-kilometer
00:14:15border zone in the Sumy region, which, according to
00:14:18statements by authorities in Russia, they have been trying to turn into
00:14:22a buffer zone for more than a year. zone.
00:15:25We hide under trees, because it's possible
00:15:28you will be shot, I hear it, but I don't
00:15:32see it,
00:15:35there's shooting at the next post.
00:15:39they shoot down a drone,
00:15:42despite constant attacks, Russian troops in the Sumy region are unable
00:15:45to advance deeper into Ukrainian territory, Ukrainian
00:15:49military say, all attacks are repelled, but the Russian
00:15:52army constantly storms the border zone and hits
00:15:56settlements, right up to Sumy, with a large number of
00:15:59attack drones. the situation in our area is difficult,
00:16:03very difficult. very.
00:16:07drones started flying frequently, but as we
00:16:11set up our air defense posts,
00:16:15much fewer damaged vehicles, as
00:16:19you know, we
00:16:21reduced this,
00:16:23we preserve much more equipment and personnel, during this time that
00:16:27we work in this direction,
00:16:30well, we didn't have any deaths, so that
00:16:34well, at our... posts, points, due to shelling in
00:16:37this settlement, only a couple of yards are inhabited,
00:16:41a week ago there was one more, but the man who lived
00:16:44here became a victim of artillery shelling,
00:16:47was feeding dogs there,
00:16:51artillery arrived,
00:16:53wounded him with
00:16:55shrapnel, in the arm, in the neck, he was given
00:16:59aid, an evacuator arrived, took
00:17:02him away, unfortunately, he could not be saved.
00:17:05saved.
00:17:38We ask Alexey and Oksana about the intention of
00:17:41the Kremlin leaders to create a buffer zone here,
00:17:44let them go back where they came from,
00:17:47to Russia, let them make buffer zones there, whatever
00:17:51they want, but this is our territory, this is Ukraine, we live here,
00:17:55we grew up here, we generally
00:17:58lived here for so many years, and farming,
00:18:02the only thing that Russian troops succeed in, says Oksana, is
00:18:06to make the border area.

00:18:46The bill on new US sanctions against Russia could be put to
00:18:50a final vote in the Senate as early as this week. This was stated in an interview with
00:18:53Radio Liberty by John Curtis, a member of the Foreign Relations Committee.
00:18:57The document provides for large-scale restrictions
00:19:00on the financial and energy sectors in Russia and measures against
00:19:04the shadow fleet that Russia uses to circumvent sanctions. In addition, it
00:19:08will allow the US president to impose tariffs against buyers of
00:19:11Russian fuel. According to Curtis, the initiative enjoys
00:19:14broad bipartisan support. The Republican senator
00:19:17stressed that Russia should not win the war. A Radio Liberty correspondent in
00:19:21Washington asked Curtis what he considers a
00:19:24victory for Ukraine in that case.
00:19:27If you ask President Zelensky, victory
00:19:30simply means not losing today, not losing
00:19:34tomorrow, and not losing the day after tomorrow. From the
00:19:37beginning, Russia defined its victory as the complete capture of
00:19:41Ukraine, so for Ukraine, victory is any outcome
00:19:45in which this does not happen. The very
00:19:48fact that Ukraine was able to withstand 4 and a half
00:19:51years of this aggression is a huge
00:19:53victory.
00:19:57How do you manage to advocate for strong bipartisan support for
00:20:00Ukraine, considering that some of your Republican colleagues
00:20:04advocate for reducing foreign aid?
00:20:07Listen, in reality, we cannot do everything at once, there is
00:20:11common sense in their arguments, but I will repeat again,
00:20:15defeat is not an option, if Putin is allowed to achieve
00:20:18victory in Ukraine, this will have serious consequences for
00:20:21many other regions of the world, just look at
00:20:25China and Taiwan, we perfectly understand that President Xi
00:20:29is closely following what is happening in Ukraine, and if we
00:20:32retreat here, he will understand that we will retreat on the issue of
00:20:35Taiwan, therefore...
00:20:50She was assigned a bail of 6 million hryvnias, which is about 130,000
00:20:53dollars. She is obliged to appear for interrogations at the request of anti-corruption
00:20:57agencies and notify them of trips. At the request of the defense,
00:21:00the court hearing was held in camera. Stefanyshyna is accused of
00:21:04three episodes: illegal enrichment and inaccurate
00:21:08declaration. This refers to the purchase of apartments in a residential complex in
00:21:11Kyiv, which, according to media reports, could have been acquired at an understated
00:21:14price. Stefanyshyna herself claims that she has nothing
00:21:17to hide. Today's meeting in detail.
00:21:50railway communication and metro in Tbilisi stopped. In a number of settlements,
00:21:53there was no water. This is already the third power outage in
00:21:57the last two weeks. About possible reasons, Zvyad
00:22:00Nichedlishvili. A large-scale power outage
00:22:04throughout Georgia occurred the day before around 8:00
00:22:07p.m. This led to disruptions in the operation of critical
00:22:10infrastructure. Traffic lights did not work in a number of settlements.
00:22:14Pumps stopped and water disappeared. Mobile communications and
00:22:17the Internet worked intermittently. Intercity trains, cable
00:22:21cars, and Tbilis stopped at the funicular and metro, passengers
00:22:24had to get to the surface on their own. Power began to
00:22:28be gradually restored by 9:00 p.m. Later, the State
00:22:31Electric System of Georgia explained that the blackout occurred during
00:22:34equipment testing at Inguri HPP.
00:22:38There they were looking for the causes of the two previous
00:22:40large-scale outages. After system failures on July
00:22:4424 and 25 at the Inguri
00:22:47hydroelectric power plant. technical work, to check
00:22:50the equipment, it was necessary to switch the energy system to an isolated mode
00:22:54with a non-standard frequency, this caused
00:22:57a temporary power outage throughout the country. The first two
00:23:00blackouts at the end of July lasted about 2.5 hours.
00:23:04The National Energy Regulatory Commission found that at that time
00:23:07there was a sudden disconnection of the Georgian and
00:23:10Azerbaijani energy systems. The Georgian
00:23:13network, being isolated, could not cope with the load.
00:23:16The regulator placed part of the blame on... this was discussed on the air of the opposition TV channel TV
00:24:50Pirveli by political scientist Gia Khukhashvili. The video where he appears on
00:24:54live with candlelight went viral on Georgian
00:24:58social networks. One can talk about technical reasons or
00:25:02corruption, but the main reason, in my opinion, is political. The first
00:25:05blackout coincided with European sanctions against Russian-linked
00:25:09structures and a US investigation into
00:25:12the influence of Russian special services in Georgia. I
00:25:15consider this a political response and sabotage by.
00:25:18Its tentacles have permeated the entire system, and masking sabotage
00:25:22as a common accident is not difficult. The sanctions
00:25:25of the European Union, which Khukhashvili is talking about, concerned the Georgian
00:25:29oil refinery Kulevi, which was engaged in
00:25:32the transit of Russian oil, as well as a number of Russian-linked
00:25:36crypto platforms. The version of sabotage is not ruled out by the
00:25:39State Security Service of Georgia, after the first two blackouts,
00:25:43the agency announced the start of an investigation under the article
00:25:46Sabotage. Sabotage.
00:25:51A large-scale internet outage occurred in Russia, from about one
00:25:55p.m. Moscow time, dozens of popular websites stopped opening across the country,
00:25:58including marketplaces Ozon and Wildberries, Avito, Kinopoisk, and the portals of some
00:26:01banks. According to outage tracking services, there are problems
00:26:05with mobile and home internet. Complaints came in en masse from
00:26:09Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar Krai, Novosibirsk Oblast, and other
00:26:12regions. Later, Rostelecom reported that the problem
00:26:16arose in their data transmission network. Everything is now working
00:26:19as normal. In mid-July, there was already a major outage in Russia, when
00:26:22websites of Apple, Google, and other tech giants did not load for several
00:26:26hours. Roskomnadzor denied its involvement in the
00:26:29outage. outage.
00:26:34A part of a SpaceX rocket crashed into the Moon. The second stage,
00:26:38weighing 4 tons, had been drifting in space since last year and at a speed of almost
00:26:418,700 km/h collided with the Earth's satellite. No one managed to
00:26:45capture this moment up close. Now scientists are waiting for data from
00:26:48satellites that photograph the surface of the Moon to compare photos
00:26:52before and after. Here are the first such images, the collision
00:26:56was unintentional, usually such stages return to the atmosphere
00:27:00and burn up, or fall into the ocean, but in general, falling on the Moon is one of
00:27:03the ways in which spacecraft are disposed of, and for
00:27:07Earthlings it is not dangerous. In addition, the collision is of scientific
00:27:10interest. The dust plume allowed conclusions to be drawn about the composition of the lunar
00:27:14soil. For example, by how sunlight played in the dust
00:27:18cloud, scientists understood that it contained
00:27:21sodium.
00:27:22sodium.
00:27:26We love the Moon, in part because it is a natural laboratory for studying processes throughout
00:27:29the solar system. There is no atmosphere and virtually no external
00:27:33influences, and the regolith, the surface layer of the Moon, remains
00:27:36in place for a very long time. The formation
00:27:40of craters is a process that occurs throughout the solar
00:27:43system, so when an object of known size collides
00:27:47with the Moon at a known speed, it helps scientists better understand
00:27:51the mechanism of crater formation and determine what kind of crater
00:27:54occurs from a collision of this magnitude.
00:27:57magnitude. Worry about this
00:28:01collision.
00:28:12but space debris in general is indeed a cause for concern: with each year, space is becoming more
00:28:15and more congested, huge satellite constellations such as Starlink are being launched
00:28:19into orbit. It is possible that in just a few
00:28:22decades, going beyond low Earth orbit will become
00:28:25quite difficult due to the large amount of space
00:28:28debris.
