00:01:02details of the advance of our troops in Zaporozhye region, how
00:01:05the village of
00:01:06Zornitsa was liberated.
00:01:10Why did the missiles run out? Trump demanded an explanation from the head of
00:01:13the Pentagon. The press writes that the US president did not know about the shortage of
00:01:17ammunition.
00:01:20Evacuation of surviving pilots. First footage of the rescue operation in
00:01:24Irkutsk region, how the pilots managed to establish

00:01:54Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the participants of the Russian-Kyrgyz
00:01:57economic forum and Russian-Kyrgyz.
00:02:15experts from Russia and Kyrgyzstan, the parties plan to sign more than
00:02:18thirty agreements.
00:02:21One of the most important sectors of our bilateral cooperation
00:02:25traditionally is energy. Russia
00:02:29accepts.
00:02:51Russia and Kyrgyzstan cooperate closely in the humanitarian sphere,
00:02:55in education and science, in culture and
00:02:58sports,
00:03:06and youth circles, ties between citizens of the two countries are strengthening, we continue the construction of nine schools in Kyrgyzstan with instruction in Russian
00:03:10language, as well as a campus of the Slavic University in
00:03:13Bishkek. We regularly send educational
00:03:16materials and highly qualified teachers to Kyrgyz schools and
00:03:20universities. On the agenda is the opening in Nizhny Novgorod of a joint
00:03:24training center in the field of information technology
00:03:27and cybersecurity. In general, Russia and
00:03:31Kyrgyzstan have the widest prospects for mutually beneficial
00:03:35cooperation.
00:03:38Now a new message from the Ministry of Defense. Our military continued
00:03:41striking naval vessels that transport military cargo.
00:03:44Last night, our drones hit two dry cargo ships south
00:03:48and east of Odessa. In Nikopol – this
00:03:51is Dnipropetrovsk region – a gas station used
00:03:54for refueling military equipment was destroyed. In Pokrov, an
00:03:57electrical substation was hit; it provided.
00:04:17Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Vinnytsia, Cherkasy and other
00:04:20regions. I will note that in response to Kyiv's terrorist attacks
00:04:24on our civilian infrastructure, the Russian military is precisely disabling
00:04:28objects associated with... in the rear areas of
00:04:31Ukraine. Fighters of the "Center" grouping destroyed Ukrainian units and
00:04:35AFU equipment in the Dobropolsk direction. Our FPV drone
00:04:39operators distinguished themselves with accurate strikes. In addition,
00:04:42a Ukrainian drone
00:04:45control point was eliminated.
00:04:50Russian aviation carried out a combat mission in the zone of responsibility of the Southern
00:04:54Group of Forces. The crew of the Mi-28 NM helicopter received coordinates
00:04:58from intelligence. The pilots launched a multi-purpose
00:05:02guided missile, which was used to destroy a camouflaged AFU
00:05:05drone control point.
00:05:07The AFU.
00:05:09Russian fighters told how they liberated the village of Zornitsa in
00:05:13Zaporozhye region. Before the start of the assault, thorough
00:05:16reconnaissance was carried out. Our military approached the AFU positions closely and
00:05:19obtained valuable information. Kirill Popov will talk about the significance
00:05:23of this victory for further advance.
00:05:26Artillery clears fortified areas. These are pinpoint strikes on AFU positions
00:05:30in front of the village of Zornitsa.
00:05:33This created the conditions for the liberation of the settlement from
00:05:36militants. The unit of the fifth separate guards tank
00:05:40brigade of the thirty-sixth army group drove them out.
00:05:53one person will crawl out, for example, from one side, and you work on him,
00:05:56and he just hides, and from the other side the
00:06:00same enemy can crawl out. On
00:06:03the approaches to the settlement, the enemy built serious defensive
00:06:06structures. Zornitsa, located on a strategic height, was one of
00:06:10the drone launch centers. Here, our
00:06:12aerial reconnaissance records the landing of a drone in one of the village courtyards,
00:06:16next to a communication antenna, and a moment later, a strike
00:06:19drone hits the house on the plot.
00:06:22Militants controlled heavy hexacopters from both houses - there are
00:06:25about fifty of them in the village - and from dugouts,
00:06:29which were a network of underground communications, fortifications, that
00:06:33is, a left turn led to another room, and beyond that was a third
00:06:36room, and there were also foxholes, that
00:06:40is, excavated passages in the wall. Bases,
00:06:43they hid there until the last. Concrete pillboxes and strongholds
00:06:47were identified sequentially and precisely targeted with both drones and
00:06:50barrel artillery. Assault units threw grenades and
00:06:54broke through with small arms fire, simultaneously firing at aerial
00:06:57targets. The sky over Zornitsa was dirty. Here is one of the downed
00:07:01enemy drones with a Ukrainian trident on its
00:07:04tail. All of this is now garbage, but
00:07:07the brains, the electronic filling of the drone, are of
00:07:10interest to our engineers. One of the first to approach Zarnitsa was a fighter with
00:07:14the call sign "Pobeda." He entrenched himself in position and spent a week conducting
00:07:18reconnaissance under the enemy's nose, calculating mortar positions and
00:07:21drone operator locations. His reports largely predetermined
00:07:24the victory in the battles for the settlement. The enemy was unprepared for the swift
00:07:28assault, but the enemy passed by me, I was like
00:07:32with my machine gun ready, but I was well camouflaged, yes,
00:07:35it was unclear if he would notice me or not,
00:07:39I sat and watched, the enemy was walking relaxed. Already
00:07:42in a relaxed state, he wasn't afraid of anything, he thought we weren't there. With
00:07:46the liberation of Zornitsa, a significant section of the enemy's defense, over
00:07:4911 km, came under the control of the Vostok group of forces. In addition,
00:07:53the AFU lost another of its logistical
00:07:56hubs. This creates an opportunity for the further advance
00:07:59of our armed forces in the west of the Zaporozhye
00:08:02direction. Kirill Popov, Alexey Yaldin,
00:08:05Vesti.
00:08:08Ukraine has run out of weapons supplies, this was stated by the former commander-in-chief of the AFU
00:08:11Zaluzhny. Speaking at a meeting of Ukrainian ambassadors in Kyiv, he tried to
00:08:15be ironic, noting that this year the AFU
00:08:19allegedly used all types of weapons on the front, and Russia
00:08:23found a worthy response to everything. In addition, the current Ukrainian ambassador to
00:08:27Britain is convinced that NATO will never accept his
00:08:30country. In the states, meanwhile, they are discussing the colossal
00:08:34amount that will be required to build nuclear
00:08:36battleships. They will cost the US budget
00:08:39275 billion dollars. Analysts
00:08:42say that these expenses will force a reallocation of expenditures,
00:08:46not in favor of the country's citizens. Donald Trump announced the new class of warships
00:08:49last year, with plans to build 15
00:08:53ships. Democrats criticized Trump's plans. According to
00:08:56them, millions of Americans are barely making ends meet, so such
00:09:00military spending is simply
00:09:02unacceptable.
00:09:05But also the head of the White House demanded explanations from the Pentagon as to where
00:09:08almost all American missiles went, the Washington Post writes.
00:09:12The shortage of weapons after the US operation in the Middle East became known
00:09:15yesterday. The situation there is now relatively stable. Iran and
00:09:19Oman have agreed on a vessel movement route in the Hormuz Strait. They will make a joint
00:09:23statement if no third countries intervene.
00:09:26Leyla Hajiyeva will continue the topic.
00:09:30Energy facilities of the Persian Gulf countries will be attacked in
00:09:33case of new US aggression. Reuters agency writes about Tehran's
00:09:37warnings. All this against the backdrop of ongoing negotiations.
00:09:41In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, it was reported
00:09:44that Iran and Oman had agreed on a route for ships in the Hormuz
00:09:48Strait, hinting that the agreement would come into force if no one
00:09:51interfered. Control over shipping will be directly with
00:09:55Tehran. Reuters calls this a serious concession to the Iranian
00:09:59side. Washington has not yet commented on this. The route
00:10:02agreed upon by Iran and Oman is temporary and may last from two
00:10:06to four months. The issue of charging fees for ships passing
00:10:09through has not yet been resolved, clarified the Islamic Republic.
00:10:14This temporary route can operate for a longer
00:10:18period of time, as we do not know what conditions we will face
00:10:22in the future and whether the situation will be stable.
00:10:25The reality is that as far as what we are doing with Oman, we have not
00:10:29had any discussions or negotiations with the United States on this
00:10:32matter. The States demanded that Tehran begin negotiations
00:10:36just 5 days after the start of mutual strikes in July -
00:10:39added the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic. The Iranian president
00:10:43recalled Washington's plans at the very beginning of
00:10:46the conflict. They started a twelve-day
00:10:49war, and the events that took place on December 18-19
00:10:53revealed plans that...
00:10:56The US thought it could capture Iran, like Syria, in
00:10:5948 hours. Trump invariably claims that
00:11:02it was not the Americans
00:11:04who asked for negotiations.
00:11:07I would prefer to make a deal because I don't want
00:11:10to kill people. We were ready for the largest attack possible,
00:11:14in the last few months we have dealt
00:11:17them a very strong blow. Speaking to voters in
00:11:21Las Vegas, Trump once again criticized.
00:11:25calling the armies of European allies weak, and also
00:11:28hitting Democrats. According to the head of the White House, due to their rhetoric in
00:11:32Congress, the country could experience hell by the end of the year, but there are also
00:11:36those who see a threat to the states directly in Republicans, in
00:11:40Democrats. Former head of the US National Counterterrorism Center,
00:11:43Joe Kent, confirmed the rumor that he, Tucker
00:11:47Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie hope
00:11:50to create a new political movement, or even a third
00:11:54party.
00:11:58According to Kent, regardless of who the people vote for,
00:12:01both incumbent parties are escalating the situation in the Middle
00:12:04East. Now, since all efforts are going to fighting
00:12:08Iran, the US has no time left for Ukraine. Trump refused
00:12:12to transfer interceptor missiles for Patriot systems to the AFU. The
00:12:15states themselves lack them - writes the Financial
00:12:18Times. Trump questioned Pete Hegseth about why the depletion of
00:12:22stocks happened at all. According to information, the US president rebuked
00:12:26the head of the Pentagon,
00:12:28as he was sure that the arsenal problem had already been solved. In
00:12:32response to Washington's inaction, complaints from Kyiv
00:12:36immediately followed. Zelensky again strongly urged partners
00:12:39to help. Leyla Gadzhieva.
00:12:41Vesti.
00:12:44Well, now let's talk about the economy with Kirill Khovrin. Kirill, good morning, Russia has
00:12:47recorded weekly deflation for the first time in several months.
00:12:50Exactly. The fruit and vegetable sector became the driver,
00:12:54prices for cabbage, potatoes, carrots
00:12:56and tomatoes decreased. In Russia, consumer
00:13:00deflation, that is, a decrease in prices for goods and services as a whole,
00:13:04was recorded for the first time since mid-May. So, by August 3rd, weekly
00:13:08deflation amounted to 0.%. At the same time,
00:13:10annual deflation accelerated slightly to 6.11%. In the
00:13:14food segment, over the week, the growth rate of consumer prices
00:13:17slowed to 5%. In
00:13:20particular, as already mentioned, fruit and vegetable products became cheaper. In the non-food
00:13:23segment, deflation was also observed at
00:13:2618%. This is due to the dynamics of fuel prices. In the services
00:13:30sector, inflation amounted to 12%. Here, a
00:13:33restraining factor was the decrease in hotel
00:13:36prices. Meanwhile, the Bank of Russia revised upwards
00:13:40its forecast range for inflation for this year. Compared to
00:13:43the previous estimate in April, it increased by
00:13:461.5% to 6-7% instead of
00:13:494.5-5.5. According to the results of the second quarter, the review notes
00:13:53that annual inflation was at 6%, which was close to
00:13:57the April forecast, however, in June-July, an acceleration was observed
00:14:00mainly due to prices for
00:14:02petroleum products.
00:14:04The key reason for the revision is the price dynamics in recent
00:14:08months. We saw that in the summer, price growth significantly
00:14:11accelerated. The main role in this was played, of course, by
00:14:15fuel, specifically motor fuel, gasoline,
00:14:18diesel. I suspect that the Bank of Russia included a small
00:14:22transfer of logistical cost increases to the final
00:14:25prices of other goods and services,
00:14:29but the main reason is, of course, motor fuel. In the
00:14:33future, the Bank of Russia expects a gradual stabilization of the fuel market situation
00:14:36and a slowdown in consumer price growth, including under the influence of the ongoing
00:14:39monetary policy. In the second half of the year, the Central Bank believes that stable
00:14:43inflation will remain in the range of 4-5% annually,
00:14:46and the indicator will return to the target level of 4% in
00:14:502027. The year.
00:14:53The government.
00:15:00Euro-2, Euro-3, Euro-4. This was reported by the Ministry of Energy, where they noted
00:15:04that the decision is temporary in nature and is aimed at
00:15:07ensuring a stable supply of automotive fuel to the domestic market
00:15:10and preventing a possible shortage.
00:15:14It is also emphasized that this is not a revision of
00:15:17the long-term state policy in the field of environmental requirements for
00:15:21motor fuel. The same decree recognizes as having lost
00:15:24force the previous decision, which allowed
00:15:27the circulation of K5 class gasoline with increased sulfur
00:15:30content until the end of this year.
00:15:33US authorities returned more than 100 billion dollars to importers, which had previously been
00:15:36collected in... in the form of Trump's trade tariffs. CNBC notes that
00:15:40more than 330,000 American
00:15:44companies are awaiting refunds, meaning that budget expenditures will continue to rise. I remind
00:15:47you that after the US Supreme Court's decision that the previous tariffs were illegal,
00:15:51Trump has already managed to introduce new ones ranging from ten to 25%. If
00:15:55before he relied on emergency economic
00:15:58powers, now he relies on the use of slave labor, which
00:16:01many US trading partners allegedly
00:16:05resort to. And official rates.
00:16:37from weapons stockpiles on the battlefield, this statement was made by the Ukrainian ambassador to
00:16:41Britain and former AFU commander-in-chief Valery Zaluzhny. According to him,
00:16:44almost all types of weapons allocated by NATO have already
00:16:48been used on the front, and Russia found
00:16:50a worthy response to everything.
00:16:54In Japan, victims of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima are remembered. At
00:16:58the ceremony, none of the speakers mentioned that it was the USA who launched
00:17:01the attack. In August 1945, American pilots dropped bombs on
00:17:05the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
00:17:24you can only move by
00:17:25boat.
00:17:30In the Kursk region today, events of the twenty-fourth year are remembered, when
00:17:34our border regions were attacked by Ukrainian. The first
00:18:07body armor, humanitarian headquarters, in the shortest
00:18:10time the region began to receive electronic warfare
00:18:13equipment, drone detectors,
00:18:16as well as food, water and medicines. Stabilization points
00:18:20appeared along the route from Kursk to Orel, where
00:18:23accordingly, the guys jumped out, evacuated the wounded, stabilized
00:18:27them, after which they were taken to hospitals. By the way, much of this was
00:18:30done by civilian medics from all over the country. Then came
00:18:34the evacuation of residents of the border area to safe. residents
00:19:08tactical medicine, support temporary
00:19:11accommodation points and even go to shelling sites
00:19:14to provide psychological assistance to victims, however,
00:19:18most of the work is still in hospitals,
00:19:21they help absolutely
00:19:23everyone, with
00:19:27fighters, with dressings and with
00:19:30food, and well, that is, they try to maximize
00:19:34simplify the work of medical personnel, yes.
00:20:08who were illegally detained on the territory of Ukraine, this
00:20:12is the merit of the institution of the Commissioner for Human
00:20:14Rights, together with the Ministry of Defense,
00:20:17specialized special services, other federal government
00:20:21bodies, everyone who participated in this difficult work,
00:20:24we managed to bring home
00:20:27170 residents of Kursk region. In
00:20:302024, 46 people were
00:20:33returned, in 2025. The region
00:20:50is also visited by ordinary Russians from various regions of Russia,
00:20:54this is patriotism, as they say
00:20:57here in the border area, it is not only love for
00:21:00the homeland, but also readiness to stand up for
00:21:04its defense at any moment. Evgeny Kulyakov,
00:21:06Vesti.
00:21:09And now it's time for sports news. Ilya Kostyu, who is already in the studio, will tell us about the most
