Ukraine on Thursday (August 14) claimed fresh advances in its offensive into Russia, saying it had seized over 1,100 square kilometres in the biggest attack by a foreign army on Russian soil since World War II. Our colleagues at France Televisions attempted to get as close as possible to the border and they sent us this report.

  1. Ukraine AFU fight for their rights, peace and freedom and a place belongs to Ukraine. And AFU help support for foods. God's divine protection against the dark forces enemies.

  2. A professor at mit University researched at the main public libraries in San Francisco, New York and LA, to gather evidence that Americans watch less foreign films today because of Netflix, HBOMax, Hulu, and other cable stations. Her contention though controversial at mit, deserves consideration. She looked at copies of newspapers from the 1970's, on microfiche and the evidence indicates Americans did watch more foreign films in the 1970's. In San Francisco looking at the SF Examiner on microfiche, she saw that in November 3,  1974, for example, the SF Examiner in the movie listings showed half the movies in the theatres, in San Francisco were European films, mostly from France and Italy. "Effie Briest", a German film by Director Rainer Werner Fassbender, was showing in two cinemas, and seems to be the most popular movie in San Francisco at the time. As there was a review praising the film, and commenting on the long lines for the movie, on the back page. This is startling and cause for alarm. When she looked at a current SF Chronicle movie listing not more than 10 percent of the movies showing were foreign films. Interesting Americans seem to have lost their appetite for Italian films but not on vacations to Italy! There were no Italian films being shown in the SF Chronicle Movie guide listings, recently. In fact the mit professor was astounded how Italian movies are no longer shown in America anymore. Italian films are no longer distributed in America, and America has betrayed one of their closest allies, they claim to have liberated in ww2. Did America really liberate Italy or was it all political theater? What do Americans have against Italian movies? If I was the Prime Minister of Italy I would close the American Embassy in Italy, in protest and expel all American diplomats out of Italy. I would also ban American tourists from Italy.

  3. Still in Kursk? I thought Putin is fleeing Moscow because you are coming. With all your NATO kit and aircraft you are still in kursk? Why? It been more than a week. Hurry up. The Russians have only shovels and washing machines but you are still in kursk after one week. How?

  4. There's an interesting video on 'hromadske' (subtitled) about journalists interviewing locals in Sudzha who didn't evacuate. Incredible to see how little destruction there is, how the locals are angry with their Ru politicians and army and how the AFU is looking after them with food etc.

    This is the beginning of the end of Putin!

  5. Yukrain inter easily without fight by kursk but don't long stay her in kursk nd Russia attack start nd 5,6 days heard this trups are killed when inter kursk region

  6. These journalists will be no different than that Russian tv host who leaked their convoy of troops which lead to HIMARS killing 400~ soldiers. France 24 must leave the battle area.

  7. NOTE: The sec Germany🇩🇪 started handing out “free” citizenship!! They got 1 million monkeys 🙉 from Syria🇸🇾 within 12months….. Russia🇷🇺 has many friends… China🇨🇳 India🇮🇳 Bangladesh🇧🇩 Pakistan🇵🇰 like the Saudi’s Russia should let the Indians Bangladeshi fight for them. The India subcontinent provided the “man-power” for British Empire for almost 200years!! First thing the Americans dismantled after WW2 ??? Coincidence ????? I don’t think 🤔so…………

  8. Russia's attack with Western weapons on its own territory is therefore the second step towards World War III.
    How long will Germany continue to watch and pay for Ukraine's aggressive war maneuvers?
    Shouldn't Zelensky finally be forced to lift his ban on negotiations and talk to Russia?
    Orban and Erdogan have already paved the way for negotiations.
    And the people in the US and Germany are more and more against arms deliveries to Ukraine.

  9. Soo you found only one soldier stupid enough to tell you about his personal confusion and you ran to make a pie for the ruzzkies propaganda? That is not what I was used to see from France24. Choose your material more carefully.
