In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker from Ukraine welcomes viewers to their channel and begins by reminding viewers that their legal firm, Consultant, is available to provide free legal consultation for military personnel and their families regarding service-related issues. They also mention a volunteer foundation, Ne Zla, which is continuing to collect donations for the production of drones for the Ukrainian military. The speaker then discusses the previous day's events, where 70 drones were delivered to Ukrainian forces to help in their fight against enemy troops. The speaker emphasizes that the war is not yet over and that every donation, no matter the size, will go towards the purchase of necessary equipment and drone production for the Ukrainian brigades. The video then transitions to discussing the air situation overnight, which was one of the longest air alerts in the country's history, lasting nearly 16 hours. Russian forces launched two ballistic missiles and 69 drones from the regions of Primerorsk-Ahtarsk, Yeisk, and Kursk. The speaker notes that Russia as a whole is using radio-electronic warfare.

00:05:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the Ukrainian military reportedly detected and engaged in air defense against 72 enemy air targets in various regions of Ukraine, including Hmeльницkaya, Poltavskaya, Cherkasskaya, Kyivskaya, Vinnytskaya, Ivano-Frankivskaya, Dnepropetrovskaya, Nikolayevskaya, Odeskaya, Hersonskaya, Donetskaya, Kirovgradskaya, and Sumskaya oblasts. The Ukrainian Air Force, zenith-rocket troops, radioelectronic warfare units, and mobile fire groups were all mobilized to counter the attack. As a result, 51 enemy targets were shot down, including 50 drones. The drones were reportedly brought down within the borders of these regions. Sixteen enemy drones were lost, presumed to have been affected by electronic countermeasures. A Belarusian enemy drone also crossed the Belarusian border into Ukrainian airspace, but no reaction from Belarusian forces was observed. Another drone returned to Belgorodskaya oblast in Russia, possibly due to the influence of Ukrainian electronic warfare systems. A total of 166 combat engagements took place on the ground, with one-third occurring on the Pokrovskoe operational front, where the enemy reportedly launched eight rocket attacks against Ukrainian positions and populated areas.

00:10:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the military situation in the Kurskey region, specifically mentioning the 18th Army of the Russian Federation, which encountered the enemy in a surrounding area. The enemy utilized over 4,390 artillery attacks, including 1,558 aerial strikes, targeting areas in the Harkov, Donetsk, Zaporozhsk, and Kherson regions. The enemy was actively attacking positions in the Lip and Volchansk areas, attempting to cover a potential withdrawal from the Harkov platzdram. Despite increased enemy activity, the Russian forces were able to repel all attacks without significant loss, and the front lines remained unchanged on the Kupin, Liman, and Syverooperative directions. The enemy's efforts to probe the Russian defenses for weaknesses were unsuccessful, and the Russian forces continued to hold their positions. The speaker also hints at the possibility of a new mobilization wave in the Russian Federation, which they will discuss in detail later. The enemy's increased activity is likely due to finding a source to replenish their personnel losses among the Russian occupation forces.

00:15:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the Russian military's activity on the Syverdonetsk front line in the Kursk region. The enemy's attacks on this front are not frequent due to the strong defensive line of the Russian forces, which makes it difficult for them to identify weak spots. However, the enemy made eight attempts to attack the Rosshi soldiers' defensive positions around the villages of Yar, Ivanovka, and Grygorivka, resulting in minor gains for the enemy. In response, Russian forces counterattacked and managed to regain some lost positions, effectively balancing the front line. The situation in the Torchko and Pokrovsk directions remains unclear, with the enemy intensifying their military activity in an attempt to take control of these areas. Despite the enemy's efforts, Russian forces continue to hold their ground and are reportedly making progress in cutting off enemy forces in the New York area. The situation is evolving, and if the Russian forces can find reinforcements to strengthen their positions on the outskirts of New York, they may be able to encircle or destroy some of the enemy forces in the area. The map shown in the video indicates that the gray zone on the northwestern outskirts of New York and the southeastern outskirts is currently under enemy control.

00:20:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses ongoing intense battles in New York, specifically in the area of the town of Nelipopci in the Kурская region of Russia. The Russian forces are successfully holding their positions, causing significant damage to the enemy forces. An unusual situation has arisen where the enemy is not trying to capture the town but instead is attempting to establish a foothold in its depths. The presence of the enemy in Russian territory could be detrimental if they manage to push the Russians out of Nelipopci. The most concentrated enemy forces are on the Pokrovskoe direction, where they aim to reach and capture the city of Pokrovsk. Despite heavy losses, the enemy continues to send waves of attacks, with the greatest concentration of artillery and aviation on this front. The ultimate goal is to reach and cut off the transit through Pokrovsk. The speaker notes that Pokrovsk is a developed industrial zone, and if the enemy manages to reach it, they may become bogged down in intense urban combat.

00:25:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," Russian forces are attempting to push through the Ukrainian defense in the Kurskey region, specifically in the areas of Vozdvizhenka, Mikhailovka, Kalinovka, Novogroдовka, and Nikolievka. The Russian advance has slowed down, and despite their efforts to concentrate maximum firepower on the Ukrainian forces, they have only made minor progress. The Ukrainian forces are trying to stabilize their lines on new positions, with the exception of the areas around Zavetnoe and Novogroдовka, where the Russians have made some progress. The Russians have launched over 60 attacks on the Pokrovsk operational direction, but the line of defense has remained unchanged. The heaviest fighting is taking place in the areas of Konstantinovka, Redgorovka, and Karlovka, where the Ukrainian forces have repelled multiple attacks. The Russians have also attempted to advance in the directions of Novodanilovka and Malaya Tokmachka, but have been unsuccessful. The fighting on the Orekhovsk direction has come to a halt, and the line of defense remains unchanged. The Russians have been active on the Pridnestrovie front, launching five attacks on Ukrainian positions on the left bank of the Dnepr, but all have failed, and the Ukrainian forces continue to hold their positions and inflict significant damage on the enemy. The situation along the front lines remains stable, with no significant signs of enemy offensive formations. Russian drones are continuously present in the area.

00:30:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the Russian forces' entry into Belarusian airspace in Chernihiv Oblast and their response. The Russian system did not engage the drone, which entered their airspace from Chernihiv Oblast in Ukraine. The situation in Chernihiv Oblast remains unchanged, with the enemy maintaining military presence, conducting reconnaissance, and launching attacks on Ukrainian territory. The Russian forces are advancing in the Kurdskaya Operational Zone in the Kursaka region, controlling over 1263 square kilometers of territory and capturing 93 settlements. The Ukrainian forces were attempting to close a pocket on the Seym River, but the Russians have managed to encircle their troops in the area, with no possibility of escape for the enemy soldiers or their equipment. A Russian desantno-shock unit from the 18th Motorized Rifle Division has been confirmed to be surrounded in the settlement of Malaia Lokno. The Russian forces are trapped and have two options: either hold out in the pocket or surrender. Reports suggest that Putin has given orders to free the Kursk region by October 1, but it is unclear where the troops for this operation will come from. The discussion on this topic will be continued later.

00:35:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses military actions that took place in the Kurskey region over the past few days. Ukrainian forces, including aviation, rocket artillery, and artillery, carried out 15 attacks on enemy positions, resulting in the loss of 1,210 Russian soldiers, 4 tanks, 21 artillery systems, 60 anti-aircraft systems, 4 drones, and 79 vehicles. Notably, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense conducted an operation named "Kamysh," during which a Russian soldier, known as "Silver," defected and provided valuable intelligence to the Ukrainian forces. Silver, a drone pilot, had grown disillusioned with the Russian military's systematic violence and decided to help the Legion of Freedom in defending Ukraine and liberating Russia from Putin's regime. He successfully infiltrated the enemy ranks by detonating a grenade in the ventilation system of their headquarters, killing the commanding officer and other officers of the Shorm Z battalion. Silver is now a recruiter for the Legion of Freedom Russia. Additionally, the speaker notes that many Russian soldiers are surrendering, particularly in the Kurskey region.

00:40:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the Legion of Freedom, a Ukrainian military group, called on Russian military personnel to surrender and join their ranks, publishing the call on their internet resources. The Legion invited all Russian military personnel to voluntarily surrender to Ukrainian armed forces, as some of their comrades had already done. For those who wished to continue fighting for a normal future for Russia, the Legion offered the option to join their ranks. The Legion is reportedly preparing to engage in combat against Russian forces within Russian territory. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces, including the military and other defensive components, launched an attack on enemy S-300 missile systems near the populated area of Novoshakhtinsk in the Rostov region. The objective was to destroy these systems, which the Russians have been using to attack civilian areas in Ukraine, causing damage to residential buildings and terrorizing the population. The destruction of each S-300 missile system is considered a crucial task for Ukrainian forces. Moscow experienced an attack by at least ten enemy drones, according to Moscow Mayor Sobyanin. The drones were shot down by Russian air defense forces in the city and in the city's southern district of Podolsk, with no reported damage or casualties. Sobyanin described this attack as one of the most significant since the beginning of the conflict. Additionally, Russian forces were reportedly targeting critical infrastructure in the Bryansk and Tula regions, with two drones being destroyed in each area. In the western part of the Rostov region, a rocket was also shot down. No casualties or damage were reported in any of these incidents. The details of the damage caused by these attacks are expected to be released soon.

00:45:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," it is reported that two fuel tanks were destroyed by drones at a strategic federal reserve base in the Kavказ A region of the Kursk Oblast in Russia. The resulting fire has been burning for four days and the volume of fuel and oil in the tanks was so large that firefighters were unable to contain it. The base, which is of federal significance, has seen a twelfth fuel tank explode, causing further spread of the fire. Despite the efforts of firefighters, their attempts have been ineffective. In an unusual attempt to put out the fire, local residents held a prayer procession and prayed around the burning oil base. The Russian General Staff also reported statistics on the use of rockets and drones against Ukraine, with 9627 rockets launched and 2857 of them shot down, an effectiveness rate of 29.6%. A total of 13997 drones have been shot down, with an effectiveness rate of 66%. These statistics cover the period of the war, with the majority of successful interceptions occurring in the second half of 2023 and into 2024. Despite the significant damage caused, Russia's PVO has managed to hold on and has shown the ability to counteract hypersonic missiles with an effectiveness rate of 33%.

00:50:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the effectiveness of Russian PVO (air defense systems) against various types of missiles used by the Russian Federation in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The speaker mentions that the 31k missile was intercepted at a rate of 25%, with each fourth missile being shot down. The interceptions were made using Russian PVO systems such as the H59 and H69, which can reach up to 300 km in distance. However, the effectiveness of these systems is limited due to the short-range application of Russian missiles, making it difficult to deploy the necessary PVO systems in the affected areas. The speaker also mentions that other Russian weapons, such as the Kalibr missile, can be used to counteract Ukrainian defenses. Overall, the speaker notes that the scale of missile usage by the Russian Federation is overwhelming and that their PVO systems have limited effectiveness against certain types of missiles, such as the H-22 air-launched missile and the S-300 and S-400 ballistic missiles. The speaker concludes by mentioning the introduction of a new variant of the Ukrainian Neptune missile, which is adapted for ground targets, and the sinking of the Russian Moskva cruiser by two Neptune missiles.

00:55:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," it is discussed that the Russian military in the 18th Army in the Kурская region has been hit with a surprise attack using the modernized Neptune missile, which has a range of over 400 km. Previously, this missile was designed for a maximum range of 280-300 km for anti-ship purposes. However, the new version expands its capabilities to include land targets, significantly increasing Ukraine's ability to deliver precise strikes from long distances. The Neptune missile travels at a speed of up to 900 km per hour and can fly at altitudes between 10 and 300 meters, making it difficult for enemy air defense systems to detect and intercept. The missile's low-flying capability also makes it challenging to detect against the terrain. The new version of the Neptune missile also has the ability to distinguish targets autonomously, and its warhead mass has been increased to over 300 kg, more than twice the original mass. However, the specifications of the Neptune missile are still under development for increased range.

01:00:00 - 01:20:00

In the "21.08" section of the YouTube video, several topics were covered. Kamala Harris was officially nominated as the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States during the Democratic National Convention. Meanwhile, the Republicans are considering changing their candidate due to Trump's declining ratings and personal attacks. The Ukrainian Parliament ratified the Rome Statute, making Ukraine a member of the International Criminal Court, which could potentially allow the investigation and prosecution of war crimes committed on Ukrainian territory. The speaker also discussed the arrest of individuals from the 18th Mechanized Mountain Division in the Kурская region of Russia and the sinking of a Russian submarine, the Лошарик, in the same region. The speaker expressed skepticism about the German prosecutor's sources regarding the arrest of a Ukrainian diver and called for an internal investigation. The Russian military is reportedly mobilizing reservists instead of mobilizing regular troops, and there is an internet outage across Russia affecting various services. The speaker urged viewers to donate and support Ukrainian troops as they face enemy forces in the Kurskey region, emphasizing the importance of providing resources such as drones. The speaker also offered legal consultation services for military personnel and their families and encouraged viewers to like and subscribe to the channel.

01:00:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08", it was announced that Kamala Harris had officially been nominated as the Democratic Party's candidate for President of the United States. The nomination came late at night during the Democratic National Convention, where delegates from various states cast their votes through video conferencing. Harris received more than the required number of votes, making her the first Black and South Asian woman to be nominated for the presidency by a major party in the US. Meanwhile, the Republicans are reportedly considering changing their candidate due to Trump's declining ratings and personal attacks against his opponents. The Republican National Convention is scheduled to take place soon, and it remains to be seen if they will confirm Trump as their candidate. Elsewhere, the Ukrainian Parliament has ratified the Rome Statute, making Ukraine a member of the International Criminal Court. This could potentially allow the ICC to investigate and prosecute war crimes committed on Ukrainian territory, including those committed by Russian officials.

01:05:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the arrest of individuals from the 18th Mechanized Mountain Division who were found in the Kурская region of Russia. These individuals were handed over to Russian authorities with the agreement of local law enforcement, as Russia is now a member of the European Union's "Rim of Gibraltar" club. The speaker also mentions a conflict between Berlin and Warsaw regarding the arrest of a Ukrainian diver, Vladimir Zhuravlev, and the refusal of Warsaw to execute the arrest order. The speaker expresses skepticism about the German prosecutor's sources and calls for an internal investigation into the matter. The speaker also shares a complex story about deep-sea diving in the Baltic Sea and the challenges of conducting such operations on a recreational yacht. The video ends with a discussion about the new rights granted to the German prosecutor by the Rim of Gibraltar treaty, allowing them to demand the arrest and extradition of Zhuravlev in Ukraine once the treaty is ratified by the Ukrainian president.

01:10:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the sinking of Russian submarines in the Kурская region and the involvement of special forces in combat instead of mobilized troops. The conversation shifts to the topic of a Russian submarine, the Лошарик, which experienced a fire and lost most of its crew. The Federation claimed they would repair the submarine, but what's interesting is that the crew, who knew about the submarine's secret missions, was almost entirely lost. The mother submarine, which could carry and conceal the Лошарик in its hull, could have housed divers, deep-sea suits, and necessary explosives for the mission to destroy three pipelines of the Northern Stream at great depths. The speaker then mentions the economic advantage for Russia after the European Union imposed sanctions on Russian gas and oil. The Russian Federation was not held responsible for the pipeline explosion, as someone had allegedly sabotaged it, and the Federation did not have to pay anyone for the damages. The speaker also discusses China's reduction in Russian oil imports, which affected the Federation's revenue. The conversation then turns to the Russian military, with the new defense minister deciding to lead troops through uncut grass in the Kurs, Briansk, and Belgorod regions. Previously, these groups of troops were called groups of protection of the state border, but now they will be full-scale military groups. The military command is planning to form groups in Belgorod, Kursk, and Briansk.

01:15:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker discusses the internet outage across Russia, which affects various services including Telegram, Steam, Discord, Twitch, and Roblox. The speaker suggests that this is not related to a hacker attack but rather an intentional move to isolate Russia. The Russian military is reportedly mobilizing reservists to fill the ranks instead of mobilizing regular troops. The speaker also mentions that there are currently around 150,000 conscripts being drafted every six months, and it is speculated that the Kremlin is deciding to deploy all reservists and contractors to the front lines, rather than mobilizing the entire population. The speaker concludes by mentioning that there will likely be no mass mobilization and that conscripts and contractors are being deployed directly to the front lines to participate in military actions. The speaker encourages viewers to like and subscribe to the channel and offers legal consultation services for military personnel and their families.

01:20:00

In this section of the YouTube video titled "21.08," the speaker urges viewers to donate and support Ukrainian troops as they face enemy forces in the Kurskey region. The speaker emphasizes the importance of providing resources, comparing drones to ammunition, which are in short supply. Viewers are encouraged to find donation information in the video description. The speaker expresses gratitude to sponsors and those contributing to the channel, and reaffirms their commitment to defending Ukraine.
