00:04:53Grandpa, Grandpa, what did you do when there was
00:04:55a war?
00:05:00I it Drone Force join
00:05:04today, so there are no awkward
00:05:06tomorrow.
00:05:22Russia massively attacked peaceful Ukrainian cities, there are dead and
00:05:25wounded. Washington and Kyiv are looking for a way to produce Patriot
00:05:28missiles, and in Poland they are evaluating the first year of President
00:05:31Nawrodsky's work. We will tell you more in the Warsaw-Kyiv issue about the main things. I am
00:05:35Hanna Vasylevska, I greet you and
00:05:37invite you.
00:05:45Kyiv region is in mourning for those killed by the Russian missile strike on August
00:05:485. Meanwhile, Russia again launched a massive attack on
00:05:52Ukraine. More than 100 drones and missiles hit several regions.
00:05:55At least eight people died, dozens were injured. About the consequences
00:05:59of the night attack we will tell.
00:06:03The US continues negotiations with Ukraine on the production of Patriot
00:06:07missiles despite Trump's doubts. Reuters reports that several options
00:06:11for cooperation are being considered, but the first missiles may appear only in
00:06:14a year. Will this be enough to change the situation in Ukraine amid Russian
00:06:18attacks?
00:06:21Karol Nawrocki has been leading Poland for a year, almost half of Poles
00:06:24positively evaluate his activities on the international arena. At the same time,
00:06:28the president and the government often have opposing positions regarding aid
00:06:31from the EU and foreign policy. Will the president and
00:06:35the government of Poland manage to overcome disagreements in
00:06:37the future?

00:08:40are subject to evacuation.
00:08:42Minors will also be evacuated from the villages of Bilenke and
00:08:45Krasnotorka. Filashkin explained that the security situation in the community
00:08:49is deteriorating, and Russian strikes pose a constant threat to
00:08:52civilians. In the Donetsk region, in the zone of active hostilities, about
00:08:5612,000 civilians remain. In total, in the territory of the region
00:08:59controlled by Ukraine, there are currently approximately 115,000
00:09:02people, including over 600 children. Since
00:09:06the beginning of August, the number of residents of the region has decreased by
00:09:092,400 people, some left independently,
00:09:13some were evacuated. Currently, the Kramatorsk community remains one
00:09:17of the key targets of Russian attacks in
00:09:19the region.
00:09:27In Germany, near the Ukrainian An-124 Ruslan, drones
00:09:30with explosives were found. The incident occurred at Leipzig-Halle
00:09:33airport, one of NATO's key logistics hubs, at the base of
00:09:37the Ukrainian airline Antonov Airlines. According to
00:09:41the police, drones with an explosive device were found near the runway,
00:09:44the explosives were defused by sappers, flights were temporarily
00:09:48suspended, and several flights were redirected to other
00:09:51airfields. During the airport closure, a DHL cargo plane,
00:09:54which was on approach for landing, likely collided with
00:09:58another unidentified flying object. The plane safely
00:10:01landed in Hanover, where minor
00:10:04damage was found. German Interior Minister Alexander
00:10:08Dobrind called the incident a hybrid attack scenario and
00:10:11stated that the drone was prepared professionally. At the same time, he
00:10:15emphasized that the investigation is not yet drawing conclusions about the possible
00:10:18involvement of a foreign
00:10:20state.
00:10:23We must consider this case. A very serious security
00:10:26incident. In my opinion, we are dealing with a hybrid attack scenario,
00:10:30which unfolded as follows: a drone was detected near
00:10:33Leipzig airport. This drone was equipped with explosives. This
00:10:36indicates a new level of threat. In the past, we have had
00:10:40cases with drone threats. However, the presence of a UAV armed with
00:10:43explosives on the airport territory is a completely new
00:10:47scenario.
00:10:49The US has resumed full intelligence sharing with
00:10:53Ukraine and cooperation between returned to its previous level, according
00:10:57to Politico, citing American senators and
00:11:00experts. According to US Senate Intelligence Committee member
00:11:04Mark Warner, increased intelligence sharing and effective
00:11:08use of long-range drones and missiles by Ukraine have strengthened its
00:11:11position in the war. Senators John Cornyn and Roger Wicker also
00:11:15stated that Ukraine was able to change the situation on the battlefield in
00:11:19its favor. Institute for the Study of War expert George Barros
00:11:22emphasized that American intelligence data could have increased
00:11:25the accuracy of strikes on Russian targets and preemptively
00:11:28warned about missile attacks. Recall that in March
00:11:32of this year, Washington temporarily suspended intelligence sharing
00:11:35after relations between Donald Trump and
00:11:38Volodymyr Zelensky flared up.
00:11:42The US has not stopped negotiations with Ukraine on the production of Patriot
00:11:46missiles, despite Donald Trump's public doubts. This
00:11:50was reported by Reuters, citing four informed sources. According to
00:11:53them, American officials are discussing several options, under
00:11:57which Ukraine will manufacture individual missile components, and their
00:12:01final assembly will take place in Germany, as well as Ukraine's
00:12:05accession to a joint American-European Patriot
00:12:07program, or the provision of a license for the production
00:12:11of a cheap modification of the PAC-3 missile. At the same time,
00:12:14American officials emphasize that any agreement
00:12:17must guarantee the protection of American technologies, and if
00:12:20agreements are signed, Ukraine may not receive new
00:12:24missiles earlier than in a year. According to Reuters,
00:12:28negotiations are being promoted by US Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker, and
00:12:31no order to stop them has been received. Recall that in July,
00:12:34Donald Trump announced his readiness to provide Ukraine with a license for the production
00:12:38of Patriot missiles, but later noted that this issue
00:12:41requires a cautious
00:12:43approach.
00:12:51August 6 marks one year since the inauguration of Polish President Karol
00:12:55Nawrocki. Almost half of Poles, 47%, positively
00:12:58assess how the head of state represents Poland on
00:13:02the international arena. These are the results of an SFR
00:13:06Research poll for Onet. Nawrocki's policy is especially supported in
00:13:10Polish-American relations. However, respondents recognized that
00:13:14often the cooperation between the president and the government in the field of foreign
00:13:17policy is quite difficult, because Nawrocki and
00:13:20Tusk represent opposing positions on some
00:13:23issues. In particular, regarding aid from the European
00:13:26Union's principles of energy and climate
00:13:29policy. In Poland, there is again talk of
00:13:33stripping Volodymyr Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle. The head
00:13:36of the Presidential Chancellery Karol Nawrocki's Zbigniew Bogucki publicly
00:13:40called on Prime Minister Donald Tusk to sign the relevant decision.
00:13:43In a post on the X social network, Bogucki stated that Tusk must find the
00:13:47courage to fulfill his duty and sign the president's
00:13:51decree on stripping Zelensky of the highest Polish
00:13:54state award. In Poland, the president's decision to strip
00:13:58the order only comes into force after the signature of the head of government.
00:14:01Tusk did not sign it. The scandal arose in June, when Karol
00:14:05Nawrocki announced his intention to strip Zelensky of the order due to
00:14:08the naming of one of the Ukrainian units after the Heroes
00:14:12of the UPA. The Ukrainian side called such statements
00:14:15unacceptable. Later, at a meeting in Warsaw, Ukrainian
00:14:17Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha proposed a package of anti-crisis
00:14:21steps to reduce tensions in relations.
00:14:33In June, Gazprom's Nord Stream 2 company wants to join
00:14:37the lawsuit against Ukrainian Serhiy Koznitsov. The company plans
00:14:40to act in the case of the Nord Stream pipelines explosion on the side of
00:14:43the prosecution. This was reported by the law firm defending
00:14:47the Ukrainian. It emphasized that Gazprom finances military
00:14:50campaigns that participate in Russia's war against Ukraine. The trial
00:14:54against Koznitsov, according to his lawyer, will begin in
00:14:57Hamburg at the end of October this year. I remind you that the explosion
00:15:01of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, which run along the bottom
00:15:05of the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany, occurred
00:15:08on September 26, 2022.
00:15:11Serhiy Koznitsov is one of six suspects for whom Germany
00:15:14issued arrest warrants. He is accused, in particular, of complicity in
00:15:18a war crime, organizing an explosion, and attacking
00:15:21civilian targets. Kuznitsov himself denies the accusations.
00:15:25I will add that Serhiy Koznitsov was handed over to German law enforcement
00:15:28by Italy, while another suspect, Volodymyr
00:15:31Zhuravlov, was not extradited by a Polish court in Berlin,
00:15:35calling the evidence insufficient, the act itself... such that it was
00:15:38committed in the context of the criminal and genocidal war that
00:15:42Russia has been waging against Ukraine since
00:15:452014.
00:15:53Warsaw will be able to save up to 30% of electricity
00:15:56thanks to smart lighting installed on the streets of the Polish
00:16:00capital. This innovation is being introduced due to the consequences of the global
00:16:03energy crisis. This was announced on August 5 by the Mayor
00:16:06of Warsaw, Czaskowski. He also assured that his city
00:16:10is already preparing to support Ukraine in the upcoming difficult months.
00:16:14I remind you, in the winter of 2026, Warsaw sent more than 500 generators
00:16:18to Ukrainian cities as part of the "Heat for Kyiv"
00:16:21program, to ease the lives of civilian Ukrainians after Russian
00:16:25attacks on critical
00:16:26infrastructure.
00:16:29If such a need arises, of course, we will help
00:16:32again. I and the residents of Warsaw have always
00:16:35done this, because firstly... This is how we show solidarity, and
00:16:39secondly, this is how we strengthen our allies who are fighting
00:16:43the enemy.
00:16:45US Army veteran, mental resilience coach, Professor
00:16:49at Virginia Tech University and a friend of Ukraine. This is all about Matthew
00:16:52Komelsky. How and why did an American from overseas
00:16:56come to Poland, and then to Ukraine, where he spent the night under
00:16:59shelling. Watch the material by Inna
00:17:01Bilak.
00:17:04Before his departure to the USA, we meet with Matthew Komelsky
00:17:07in Warsaw, he has Polish roots, but had never been to Poland before
00:17:11the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine.
00:17:13Russia needed Ukraine's resources and
00:17:17the Ukrainian people, and it simply tried to illegally seize it through brutal
00:17:21aggression. This outraged me, immediately after the invasion, my university
00:17:24lit up its administrative building with blue and yellow lights as
00:17:28a sign of support for Ukraine. And they invited several Ukrainian students and
00:17:31faculty to come to our university as a safe
00:17:35place. But I felt that we could do more.
00:17:42In Poland, Komelsky joined the humanitarian headquarters at the American
00:17:45School in Warsaw. In parallel, he says, he raised money among his acquaintances in America for
00:17:49aid to Ukraine, after returning to the US, he organized
00:17:52online English language courses for war
00:17:54migrants.
00:17:57This was not only volunteer aid and work in a warehouse, but also a certain science
00:18:01behind it, because play is incredibly important for children. They need
00:18:04play to survive and comprehend what they are going through in their lives,
00:18:08so we focused on purchasing a large number of developmental toys,
00:18:12plasticine, art materials, so that children could create, play and
00:18:16work through some of the stress they face.
00:18:18стикаються.
00:18:22Komelsky's specialization is a combination of mindfulness practices, meditation and
00:18:25body work, and neuroscience to combat stress and post-traumatic
00:18:29syndrome. The American professor spent the last month in Plonsk. Together
00:18:33with his colleague from Virginia University, Dr. April Fou, they worked on a voluntary
00:18:37basis with Ukrainian psychology students from Kharkiv, Dnipro,
00:18:41Kherson, Zhytomyr, Poltava. The project, free for Ukrainians,
00:18:44was organized by the Polish city of Plonsk, paid for by benefactors of the She Pomaga foundation,
00:18:48and Matthew Komelsky developed a program of classes that included both theory
00:18:52and practice and recreation, as most of the students themselves are from
00:18:55frontline cities.
00:18:57The mind is like the weather, when we were in Warsaw for days, we were caught in a heavy rain,
00:19:01but eventually it passed. This is how the mind works, you cannot control
00:19:05it, at least you cannot control what
00:19:07arises,
00:19:10Matthew Komelsky has been to Ukraine three times, most recently in Zhytomyr, where he collaborated with
00:19:14students of Polissia National University, as well as with war
00:19:17veterans. Recently, the American became an honorary professor of this university.
00:19:21There was already a full group of military personnel with whom
00:19:24Matthew worked, and honestly, even
00:19:28now they are contacting us with very positive
00:19:31feedback, they are already asking if Matthew will come next
00:19:34year, because it's like word of mouth. this information
00:19:38spreads very well, and military personnel are sincere
00:19:42people who share this experience, and their comrades are already
00:19:46looking for an opportunity to join these
00:19:48initiatives that we had. Resilience and stress management
00:19:51did not accidentally become Matthew Komelsky's profile. His path to science
00:19:55began with attempts to advise himself after what he saw in the war. He
00:19:58served in the US Army, was a Marine and at 18 entered the battlefield
00:20:01during the Persian Gulf War in
00:20:051990.
00:20:09They launched missiles at us, I had contact with enemy fighters, took
00:20:12prisoners and faced similar situations, but it cannot be
00:20:15compared, not even slightly, to what Ukrainian soldiers are currently facing
00:20:19in the trenches. Some of the veterans I worked with have been serving since
00:20:222014, and therefore there are so many stories of loss,
00:20:26lost wives, lost children, lost husbands. The students we
00:20:30worked with were from frontline cities, such as Kharkiv, which is bombed
00:20:34daily, and Kherson, where Russian drone operators
00:20:37are hunting... and killing civilians, grandmothers and grandfathers on
00:20:41bicycles and people in the streets, just for fun, to
00:20:44train drone control skills, it's insane and so inhuman
00:20:48that for most people in the West,
00:20:50it's almost impossible to imagine, but I would say, despite all this, it is
00:20:53resilience and determination that shine brightest, none of these people
00:20:57are ready to give up. Another part of his help is
00:21:01to talk about Ukraine in the USA and convince that supporting
00:21:04the warring country across the ocean is extremely
00:21:07important.
00:21:10I definitely want people to know that all this is real and that it continues,
00:21:14that Ukraine deserves our support. It's striking how
00:21:17independent Ukrainians are, they don't want to be told what to do, if there is
00:21:21something that unites Americans from across the political spectrum, it is
00:21:24precisely the unwillingness to be told what to do, and this idea of
00:21:28freedom and independence, Ukrainians share these values very
00:21:32strongly, and that's why I just want Americans to understand that this is
00:21:35a country with values, with family values common to us, where
00:21:39parents, grandfathers and grandmothers go to war so that their children don't
00:21:42have to do it.
00:21:45Currently, Matthew Komelsky is returning to the USA, but is already planning his next
00:21:49trips, both to...
00:22:00These were the main news, next on air is the analytical program Ukrainian
00:22:03Focus, today we will talk about
00:22:05the following.
00:22:11Trump refused Zelensky to provide Patriot missiles, how
00:22:15Ukraine can protect its cities, when its own
00:22:18ballistics and anti-ballistics will appear, and why we are not destroying Russian
00:22:21launch installations before the attack, we analyze with aviation expert,
00:22:25leading research fellow of the National Aviation
00:22:28University, Valeriy Romanenko.
00:22:32Why has NATO still not created a permanent mechanism for supplying
00:22:35Ukraine with air defense missiles, whether Western military aid can really
00:22:39become an instrument of pressure on Kyiv before negotiations, and
00:22:42what Ukraine expects from the visit of American negotiators.
00:22:46We ask the program director of the International Center for Ukrainian Victory.
00:22:58Can security issues become the basis for a new
00:23:01stage of Ukrainian-Polish relations? We talk with former Minister
00:23:04of Foreign Affairs of Poland Jacek
00:23:06Czaputowicz.
00:23:10All this in a few minutes in the Ukrainian
00:23:12Focus.
00:23:28Hello, I'm Yevheniya Motrych, and here's a brief overview of the most important news from the Slava portal. Will Ukraine
00:23:32receive anti-ballistic missiles for its air defense, how do strikes on
00:23:36Wildberries warehouses affect Russia's economy, and what alternative service in
00:23:39the army have the Germans come up with? More on this and more in
00:23:42a moment. Strikes on the Wildberries
00:23:45marketplace themselves will not be able to destroy Russia's economy. This was stated on the air
00:23:49of the program Ukrainian Focus by economist, former advisor to the President
00:23:53of Ukraine Oleg Hostenko. If we are talking about such an industry as
00:23:56oil and gas, even the oil industry, then they get about
00:24:00100 billion dollars a year, well, just different
00:24:04weight categories, and nevertheless, I believe that the strikes on
00:24:08Varus are very important, because they
00:24:10disrupt those
00:24:13logistical chains that
00:24:17existed in the country, they do not allow
00:24:21normal functioning, including their military
00:24:25machine, their military-industrial complex. However, according to him,
00:24:29these strikes, combined with sanctions, export problems, and
00:24:33falling oil revenues, are gradually increasing economic and social pressure on
00:24:36Moscow. The analyst noted that the Kremlin is trying to compensate
00:24:40for economic problems by strengthening control over
00:24:43society. This is what all totalitarian states and all
00:24:46totalitarian governments thought, and in the end we know that they all ended
00:24:50badly for them, I think the same will happen with this
00:24:53story in Russia. More comments from the economist on the impact of the war
00:24:57on Russia's economy, read and watch on the
00:25:00Slava portal. After months of political
00:25:03tension, Kyiv and Warsaw are demonstrating readiness to restore
00:25:07trust. Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki, in
00:25:11an exclusive interview for Slava, spoke about what Donald
00:25:14Tusk and Volodymyr Zelensky agreed on, how Warsaw
00:25:17reacts to manifestations of xenophobia, and why he believes
00:25:21the security of the two states is a common cause. The politician commented on
00:25:24the prospect of producing air defense missiles under
00:25:27an American license.
00:25:31Firstly, we hope that such an agreement on the production
00:25:35of so-called
00:25:35PACs
00:25:39i.e., missiles for Patriot systems, will be
00:25:41granted. After all, since then, US President
00:25:45Donald
00:25:46Trump
00:25:50has already expressed his opinion on this matter.
00:25:52definitely. We hope that such an agreement on
00:25:56the production of Patriot, both in
00:25:58Europe
00:26:01and in Ukraine, will be. After all, currently the only
00:26:03country
00:26:06that, besides the United States, produces these missiles is
00:26:09Japan.
00:26:12Meanwhile, for Ukraine, especially on the eve of winter, it is absolutely
00:26:16critically important
00:26:19to get as many air defense capabilities as possible.
00:26:22Read and watch the full interview with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland,
00:26:26Marcin Bosacki, on the YouTube channel and portal Slava.
00:26:29In Ukraine, Polish volunteer
00:26:33Marek Rosekwolski. This was confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:26:37of Poland. According to the spokesman of the Polish MFA, Samaciy,
00:26:40the volunteer died as a result of Russian military actions, and his family is already
00:26:44receiving the necessary consular support. Earlier, the death of
00:26:47Marek was reported on the page of the volunteer community "Together for
00:26:51Ukraine," of which he was the administrator. According to their data,
00:26:54on July 27, the man died in Kharkiv as a result of a Russian drone
00:26:58attack. Since 2023, Marek
00:27:01Rusekovolsky regularly traveled to Ukraine with humanitarian missions,
00:27:04he delivered aid to front-line communities in Kharkiv region, brought
00:27:08food, animal feed and other essential items, and also independently
00:27:12organized fundraisers. In July of this year, the volunteer reported
00:27:16that he was participating in the evacuation of the bodies of deceased civilians, and a few
00:27:19weeks before his death, he said that he witnessed the death of two civilians
00:27:23after a Russian drone attack. After Marek's death, his
00:27:27friends appealed to Ukrainians with a request to help find people who
00:27:30were in touch with him in Ukraine to return his personal
00:27:34belongings to his mother.
00:27:37The German government is preparing a new model of alternative service for
00:27:41people who do not want to serve in the military due to conscientious
00:27:44objection. According to Bild, the Ministry for Family Affairs has already appealed
00:27:48to 23 organizations to assess their readiness to accept such
00:27:52people in case of the return of compulsory conscription. The government
00:27:55explains that for now there is no military conscription and no
00:27:58alternative service, but in case of its restoration, the country must be ready
00:28:02to offer another option to those who refuse to take
00:28:06up arms. In Germany, conscription was suspended in
00:28:092011, but the right to refuse military service due to
00:28:12conscientious objection remains enshrined in
00:28:15the Constitution. Read more about the possible return of military conscription and
00:28:19new service rules in Germany on the Slava portal. And
00:28:23that's all for me at this moment. Take care.
00:28:25себе.
00:28:39Ukrainian focus Slavy, we talk about the main events of the day with
00:28:43politicians, analysts and opinion leaders. I'm Yulia Yershova,
00:28:46I'm Marek, welcome, good day. Of all the ballistic
00:28:50missiles that flew to Kyiv, only one was shot down on August 1st,
00:28:53none on August 5th, due to the war between the USA and Iran,
00:28:57Ukrainian air defense lacks ammunition to
00:29:00intercept ballistic missiles. And the Russians are taking advantage of this. Meanwhile,
00:29:04the Financial Times writes that US President
00:29:08Donald Trump during a meeting with Ukrainian
00:29:11President Volodymyr Zelensky last
00:29:14year provided hundreds of additional Patriot missiles for interception.
00:29:18But how to protect the Ukrainian sky, we will
00:29:21talk to the guest, aviation expert and academic
00:29:25staff member Valeriy
00:29:27Romanenko.
00:29:30Mr. Valeriy, good day, welcome.
00:30:02We remember this this, I would say, a play
00:30:06or a drama in several acts, we
00:30:09remember this well, also there will be none, so there is no
00:30:13alternative, I understand correctly,
00:30:15well, there is an alternative, but it, you know, it's so
00:30:19uncertain, we expect to receive, in
00:30:22any case, it has been ordered, we were promised eight SAMPT next
00:30:26generation complexes, but
00:30:29so far the original complex...
00:30:32has not shown the ability to shoot down
00:30:36ballistic missiles appropriately, and
00:30:39the next
00:30:41generation complex, because its improved
