On August 4, the enemy launched attacks using two S-300 missiles and two aviation missiles against the regions of Kharkiv and Poltava. Five drones were shot down in Herson, Dnepropetrovsk, and Zaporizhia regions, but unfortunately, civilians were harmed, and infrastructure was damaged. In the night of August 5, the enemy attacked from two directions, Primerorsk-Ahtarsk and the southern direction, and from Kursk, using drones. The Ukrainian forces used mobile fire groups, zenit-rocket units, and radio-electronic warfare to shoot down all the drones in Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Kirovograd, Kharkiv, Sumy, and Poltava regions. Overall, the nights were intense with military activity but less productive for the enemy.

The enemy also launched 53 aerial attacks on populated areas near their positions. Over the previous week, Russian forces had used over 600 guided air bombs against civilian targets and their own troops. Despite the decrease in military activity, the enemy continued to launch shтурмовые (shтурмовые - offensive, assault) actions, but none were successful. The Russian forces also reported the involvement of Egyptian mercenaries in the fighting on the Harkov operational front.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF forces. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the recent military actions in the Donetsk region of Ukraine. The Russian Federation (RF) has been recruiting soldiers from various countries, including Egypt and India, to fight in their ranks. The Indian government responded by demanding the immediate return of their citizens and compensation for those killed in action against Ukraine. The number of daily battles along the front lines increased to six, with most attacks being unsuccessful and resulting in the enemy retreating to their original positions. The Russian forces attempted to advance in several areas, including Limanske and Kramaторskoe, but were unsuccessful. The speaker notes that the Russian forces have been trying to pressure all front lines in Donetsk, and the Indian and Egyptian soldiers were among those recruited to reinforce their ranks. Despite the intense pressure, the Ukrainian forces were able to hold their positions.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses recent military actions in the Donetsk region, specifically in the areas of New York and Torch. The enemy has concentrated most of their efforts around the populated areas of New York and Torch, with approximately 80% of battles taking place there. The enemy has had some success in the areas of Severnaia and Zhelanaia, bombing the settlement of Rechka V for several days. The Russian forces have reached the administrative borders of the city of Torch and have engaged in the first battles within the city limits, specifically in the areas of Severnaia and Zhelanaia. Elsewhere on the front line, there have been no significant changes, with our troops holding off all enemy attacks and making no progress in the direction of New York. The enemy has focused their efforts in the areas of Zhelanaya and Novoalexandrovka, where nearly half of the day's battles have taken place. Unfortunately, the enemy has had some success in Sergeevka and Ivanovka-Lysa. Our troops were forced to withdraw in the area of these settlements, and the enemy is now expanding their foothold. The problem is that our troops lack prepared defensive positions in this area, and the infantry is forced to both defend against the large number of enemy attacks and dig trenches to hold the line. Our troops are unable to dig in and hold a strong defensive position, so they are trying to maximize their advantage in numbers and the lack of personnel the enemy is willing to sacrifice. The enemy is launching constant waves of attacks, alternating between artillery bombardment and infantry assaults on our positions. If the assault fails and they suffer losses, they retreat and launch another attack, often using artillery and air strikes to soften our defenses before the ground assault. Due to the lack of well-prepared defensive positions, our infantry is forced to dig trenches on the fly to hold the line, but we are unable to keep up with the demand.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the ongoing offensive by Russian forces in the Donetsk region. The enemy's advance is described as sporadic, with periods of intense fighting followed by lulls as they regroup and bring in fresh troops. The Russian forces are attempting to encircle Ukrainian positions and inflict heavy losses, particularly in populated areas where they believe the Ukrainian forces will put up the strongest resistance. The Russian forces have had some tactical successes, but have not been able to take key towns such as Zelanovo and Lisich. The Ukrainian forces are strengthening their positions in these areas and have repelled 11 attempted assaults without success. However, the Russian forces continue to attack in the region around Redgorovka, resulting in heavy casualties for both sides. Despite these efforts, the Russian forces have not been able to make significant gains and have not been able to inflict significant damage on Ukrainian supply lines or command centers.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the recent military activity on the Kurakhovsky operational direction in the Donetsk region. The enemy attempted six offensives, three of which were near Vodianov, but they failed to make significant gains. The situation is quieter in this area compared to before. In the Orekhovsky direction, there were three major clashes, all close to Malaya Maky, and two attacks in the direction of Novodaniylka. The enemy attempted to cut off the Workyino placard but has since ceased military activity. There were five military engagements in the Orekhovsky region over the past few days. The situation remains unchanged on the Pridneprovsky direction, where the enemy began military activity but was unsuccessful in their attempts. The Ukrainian forces continue to defend their placards and build up their military potential. The Volynskaya polevaya and Chernihivske directions are under Ukrainian control, and there is no visible formation of enemy offensive groups. However, there was a significant development on the occupied territories, as Russia officially launched a railway line from Rostov to the temporarily occupied Mariupol, which could significantly improve the enemy's ability to supply their troops.

00:35:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations from RF forces on Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the impact of the Russian military presence in Crimea on the supply lines of Russian forces in Eastern Ukraine. The speaker notes that the restoration of a railway line in Mariupol will make logistics more efficient for Ukraine's forces, reducing the need for the heavily-loaded Kerch Strait Bridge and the Crimean Bridge. The speaker also mentions that Ukrainian forces have inflicted significant losses on Russian troops over the past week, with over 8,200 soldiers killed or wounded, and the destruction of over 60 tanks, 160 armored vehicles, 340 artillery systems, and 11 surface-to-air missile systems. The speaker concludes by summarizing the military situation in Eastern Ukraine and noting that Ukrainian forces have made significant gains in recent weeks.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations RF Air Force on Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) operation named "Morozovsk," which involved the use of drones to attack a Russian military airport and oil base. Over the course of seven days, Ukrainian forces destroyed 434 units of special equipment and 63 vehicles, including SU-34, SU-35, and SU-30 aircraft, as well as a stockpile of aviation bombs and cruise missiles. The SBU also launched drone attacks on a refinery in the Belgorod region, causing a two-day fire and temporarily halting production. The speaker notes that these drone attacks are becoming more frequent and that the SBU is increasing the number of drones used in these attacks. The Morozovsk operation is described as a massed drone attack that managed to bypass Russian air defense systems, and the SBU's success in this operation is attributed to its high level of professionalism. The head of the SBU, Vasily Malyk, is mentioned as having played a key role in developing the drone production and deployment capabilities of the organization. Additionally, the SBU is reported to be actively working to disrupt Russian military airfields.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from Russian forces. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the destruction of a Russian military aircraft base in Morozovsk, located about 265 km from the front line. According to the speaker, Su-34 jets and their ammunition were targeted, resulting in a large fire and significant damage to the base. The Russian aircraft were likely destroyed by falling debris from downed drones. The speaker also mentions that the runway at the base is completely destroyed and large areas of land around it are charred. The Russian Federation is expected to take a long time to restore the base, and the speaker suggests that Russia may attempt to displace their aircraft further from the front line to give the Ukrainian forces a better chance of intercepting them. The speaker also mentions the sinking of a Russian submarine, the Roстов, in Sevastopol harbor. The speaker notes that the submarine had been under repair in a dry dock when it was hit by a missile, and despite efforts to repair it, it ultimately sank while undergoing tests.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF forces. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," there is a discussion about a Russian submarine, the Kilo-class diesel-electric submarine, which is estimated to cost around 300 million dollars and was a flagship among the Russian submarine fleet. This submarine, which entered service in 2004, participated in military operations in Syria and used missiles of the Kalibr type against Syrian opposition forces, helping the illegitimate Assad regime maintain power. The submarine, named Volgograd, was later sunk by Ukrainian forces. In other news, there was a power station explosion in Volgograd, causing a fire and leaving part of the city without electricity. The cause of the fire is unknown, and it is unclear whether it was an accident or an intentional act. Additionally, an American research institute reported that Ukrainian forces had attacked an oil refinery in the Rostov region and a fuel storage facility in occupied Luhansk, both of which were destroyed by Ukrainian forces. The institute also reported that Ukrainian forces had launched drone strikes on an oil refinery in the Rostov region and a rocket attack on a fuel storage facility in Luhansk. The governor of the Rostov region also reported a fire at a fuel storage facility in the city of Azov, but did not specify the cause. The fire at the oil refinery in the Rostov region continued on the day of the video recording. Furthermore, the self-proclaimed leader of the Luhansk People's Republic, Pasechnik, claimed that Ukrainian forces had launched 12 rocket attacks on Luhansk, but it is unclear how many of these attacks were successful. Ukraine received nearly 4 billion dollars in financial aid from the United States, which is a grant that does not need to be repaid. The past three months have been the most expensive for Russian forces in terms of losses, according to British intelligence.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF troops. Provocations RF in Baltic against NATO countries," it is discussed that the daily losses of Russian forces have decreased significantly from over 1,262 people per day in May 2023 to 1.4 people per day in July 2023, indicating that Russian forces are fortifying their positions on the Harkov front. However, the reduction in casualties is not due to fewer attacks on Ukrainian forces but rather fewer attacks on their positions. Additionally, American and Israeli officials anticipate an Iranian attack on Israel, with reports of Russian officers and weapons being transported to Iran. Iran is believed to be planning a military operation against Hamas in southern Lebanon, and the United States is deploying B1 and B2 bombers, as well as a group of cruisers and destroyers, to the Mediterranean Sea to carry out potential strikes against Iran.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from Russian forces. Provocations from RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses various geopolitical events happening around the world. The topic shifts to Iran and the possibility of a military response after Iranian threats towards Israel. The speaker mentions that Iran has promised a retaliatory attack but has not yet carried it out. The conversation then moves to the Middle East, where the ongoing war is anticipated. The speaker also mentions that Ukraine has received its first 10 F-16 fighter jets out of the 79 promised, making it the largest military purchase since Ukraine's independence. These modern aircraft are equipped with advanced features such as additional fuel tanks and helmet-mounted displays, enhancing their combat capabilities. Russia, on the other hand, does not have any comparable systems to counter these advancements. The new F-16s will be used for both air defense and engaging enemy aircraft, addressing a significant problem for Ukraine. Additionally, there are ongoing discussions in the European Parliament regarding the situation in Europe.

01:05:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from RF. Provocations from RF in Baltic against NATO countries," the European Parliament is discussed for importing 30% more Russian gas than the previous year, leading to EU dependence on Russian resources. The US is blamed for not allowing Europe to abandon Russian gas due to decreasing American gas exports to Europe. The US companies, in turn, are exporting their gas to countries where the price is higher. The Europarliament also calls for immediate action against Hungary due to its decision to relax visa restrictions for Russian and Belarusian citizens, fearing potential spies entering the EU. Russia continues to terrorize NATO by provocative actions, such as military flights near Baltic countries' borders, which are becoming more frequent and pose a threat to international safety. Additionally, Russia is fortifying its defenses in Crimea, occupied by Russian forces, and building new defensive structures, causing concern among local residents.

In this section of the YouTube video titled "5.08 Front in Donetsk region under pressure from Russian forces. Provocations from RF on the Baltic against NATO countries," the speaker discusses the efforts of Russian forces to protect the Kerch Bridge with two cranes and barges, presumably installing new barriers to prevent drones from reaching the bridge. The speaker expresses surprise that the Russians would prioritize saving their own infrastructure over potential attacks, and notes that the situation continues over the weekend. The speaker then invites viewers to subscribe to his channel, like the video, and consult a legal firm for military personnel and their families regarding service-related issues and financial compensation. The first consultation is free. The speaker also thanks his sponsors and those supporting his channel. The video continues with updates on the Ukrainian defense efforts.
