the time is approaching when we remember and honor all those who died at the hands of the occupiers in this russian-ukrainian war, all the dead civilians and soldiers. let's observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and civilian citizens of ukraine who died in the war started by russia.

hello everyone, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and in this morning's stream we talk about the following topics: the russian army attacked us. new york in donetsk region, using two guided air bombs and also aiming a rocket at a three-story apartment building. under people found themselves in the rubble. what is the current situation? destruction of a russian a50 aircraft and damage to an ill-22. the latter reached anapa, but is not subject to recovery, air force spokesman yuriy ignat wrote. we are talking about the consequences of such losses for moscow, have the bodies of the crew been found and does this mean that the armed forces control the air traffic? over

the azov and black seas. the draft law on the right to civilian firearms is ready for second reading in the parliament. critics of the document say that such changes will lead to the unjustified use of traumatic weapons, the development of the black market and the increase in the level of crime. we are talking to a deputy and an armed lobbyist. why the parliament does not want to grant ukrainians the right to firearms during war, if people may need self-defense. join our release in the comments. under this video , ask your questions, discuss important topics, and also don't forget to like and subscribe to the radio liberty channel. russian troops struck the settlement of new york in donetsk region. it was reported head of the donetsk regional military administration, vadym filashkin. according to him , the russian army dropped two guided aerial bombs and aimed a missile at a three -story apartment building. as a result of the impact, the entrance to the house collapsed. under the rubble. as of 11:00 p.m., there were

five people there, according to preliminary data, three injured people were taken to the hospital. so everything was knocked out, everything was knocked out, he had time to dive under the car, the mountain apartment. this is not the same video about the situation in the russian federation, we will talk further. now we are talking about donetsk region in due to an attack by russian forces. a fire broke out in the neighboring house, nine rescuers and two units of equipment were involved in the emergency department to sort out the rubble and unblock people, but let's see what happened there. a 62-year-old woman, who was on the street at the time of the attack, received shrapnel injuries as a result of being hit by the weapon. also , men aged 66 and 68 were injured . one of them is shell fragments. got it in

their own home, and the second tried to start the shelling in the basement. correspondent of radio svoboda serhiy horbatenko will tell about the situation in donetsk region and serhii, first of all, tell us what the situation is like in new york, are there still people under the rubble. greetings, there are currently no updates on the situation in new york, it is known that it was a combined attack at 6 p.m. russian troops used both air bombs and rockets, but one of the rockets was. did not hit this house, unfortunately, judging by my experience here, if there are no updates, then at least five people may still be under the rubble of this entrance, which collapsed due to a missile strike, that's all, actually, i will try to get there today and will have more information later. serhii, i will inform the audience about the current situation in donetsk region. russian troops in donetsk region. they are advancing in all directions,

the city of avdiivka and the northern and southern flanks remain the most tense, in fact , the russians are advancing equally there both in the north and on... weeks, and unfortunately, on the southern flank of avdiivka little by little, but still they succeed, well, by meters to literally take away, to occupy ukrainian land, also remains tense the situation near the destroyed town of mariyanka, russian troops actually use aviation and artillery daily to storm the village of novomykhaivka near mariyanka, their strategic goal there is to reach the town of kurakhove, this is an important logistical point. for both civilian and military logistics, the largest thermal power plant in the donetsk region is also located there, and it is obvious that the russians will try to destroy it. attacks by russian troops in the liman direction have also resumed, if

there was silence there during the first week of the new year, there was none for the first seven days attacks, the russian troops carried out interceptions, and now they are also beginning to storm the liman direction, burning. also in the direction of bakhmut, the occupiers are trying to renew their control over the heights near the village of klishchiivka, this will enable them to somewhat secure the occupied city of bakhmut and to somewhat secure their movement there, in addition, russian troops have been storming the direction of the town of chasivyar from several sides for more than a week , this is the village of kromove near bakhmut, the first direction of the blow, the second direction... of the blow is the village of bohdanivka, so they they are trying to get a grip on chasivyar, well, so far they do not succeed, and the ukrainian military will reliably gain positions there for the time being. serhii, considering such a difficult situation, are there more people who want to leave and evacuate

donetsk region now? considering this situation, there are almost no people left who refuse to leave their homes, if you take the same city of obadiah. which is semi-surrounded from the north and the south, then there literally several times a week it is possible to evacuate a number of units from there, there are two people each, three each, which as for other towns, people are not fit to leave at all, this is caused by the fact that many of them already left in 2022, but without finding work, without finding housing, or some of them even faced: with harassment, regarding the fact that they are from donbas and they say they can support the russian army, people were forced to return to their homes, which are located not far from the war zone, in fact, at the moment, they hardly express a desire to evacuate again. serhii, thank you for including serhiy horbatenko from donetsk region,

correspondent of radio svoboda, about the situation in the settlement of new york and in general in the region. thank you. because of the night drone attack in russian. a state of emergency was introduced in the city of voronna, northeast of the ukrainian border. the ministry of defense of the russian federation reported that an attack by three ukrainian drones was repelled today approximately between 2:00 am and 3:00 am. later, the agency announced that during the night , five drones were destroyed over the voronezh region, and three were intercepted. four more drones were allegedly intercepted over the belgorod region. meanwhile, the russian telegram channel astra reports that there were at least 15 explosions in voronezh. everything went off, everything went off, i managed to dive under the car, the apartment was on fire, all the frames were blown away, i woke up from what just flew into the window, the flight was very

strong, the fire in the multi-apartment building, which the eyewitness says in the video, happened due to the impact of fragments of a downed drone and... says the governor of the voronezh region oleksandr husiv. he also claims an injured child. people from broken windows hung from this house in neighboring houses. in the city, two headquarters of assistance to the victims were deployed, the local russian authorities reported. kyiv blamed the russian ministry of defense for the attack. ukraine has not yet commented on these accusations. the destruction of the russian a50 aircraft could affect russia's ability to operate and support 24/7. communication in the war zone, the head of ukrainian intelligence under the ministry of defense, kyrylo budanov, said in an interview with the financial times. and according to him, now there are only eight such reconnaissance aircraft left in russia. budanov also confirmed that the a50 was shot down and

exploded, while the il-22 was seriously damaged but crash-landed in the russian city of anapa. i noted that the day before , the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian army, general valery zaluzhnyi, stated that... the air force of ukraine destroyed a russian a50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an il-22 air control center in the azov region. later , yuriy ignat, spokesman for the air force command. wrote on his facebook page, that il-22 did reach anapa, but cannot be restored, and that there are wounded and dead among the crew of this aircraft. ignat also writes that it was the a50 aircraft that was a priority target for the air force, and the il-22, i quote, was given away. the head of the joint coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, colonel nataliya humanyuk, during a briefing in the media center , said that the destruction of the a50 can... at the very least , delay missile strikes on ukraine. on the eve of the south's defense forces on their

social networks also showed a video of how they they say, the last flight of the a50 plane. the video was accompanied by a performance of a ukrainian folk memorial song. i will note that the russian ministry of defense did not report anything about the destruction of their planes, and the spokesman of the russian president, dmytro piskov , refused to comment on the information about the downing of the planes to russian state agencies . that he knows nothing about it. natalya humenyuk joins our broadcast. i congratulate you, ms. natalya, thank you for participating , i would like to clarify with you, and what is currently known about the crew of a50, whether they were searched at sea, or where is it possible that they have already been found and discovered? glory to ukraine, i congratulate you. in fact, it is clear that all the guidance documents prescribe conducting a rescue search operation. it is obvious that such measures were organized

, we do not have reliable data, but there is preliminary information that some bodies have already been found, well, in the very sense of conducting this military operation, the most important thing was to defeat the target and understand that it is unlikely for such combatants conditions , there may be survivors, ms. natalya, a photo of il-22 was distributed on the network and which one according to the information yuriy ignat made it to anapa, but it cannot be restored, is it possible to talk about how serious the damage is there, and what can happen to the il-22 crew after such a disaster? well, nevertheless, in the conditions of a hybrid war, i believe that it is necessary to trust such reliable sources and such convincing evidence that it is not impossible to attribute these photos that we saw to them. er, it is obvious that there is a need to create the impression that something of that ill

still remained, well at least the tail, and so you commented on this photo, it is interesting, to say the least globally about the consequences of such losses for russia, and perhaps you have some information on how they reacted to the downing of these planes, well, how they reacted, we all heard and saw, some simply did not understand. what is it about, some have assumed the heroism of this act, that they have beaten their own, do not be afraid, no, do not stop flying in this direction, in particular, the obvious effect on the flying elite, on those who will continue to perform flying tasks, so they now realize that it is not so dangerous in the air over ukraine, and at the moment... we see a rather serious such disorder in the understanding of this situation and its

prospects for the leadership, in particular of the russian federation, including the russian air force, but now we can state that there will be a certain delay in the coordination of massive missile strikes, although indeed we understand that, unfortunately, there was not one such a50 in... russia. ms. natalya, there are different versions from ukrainian military experts as to how the ukrainian troops managed to carry out such a special operation, and some military experts say that it was thanks to the patriots, though the distance would scarcely allow it. someone says that this special operation was carried out with the use of rebs, which forced the russian air defense to destroy its own planes. what other versions could there be, and can you tell us in more detail, and what other ways could there be... ways for ukrainian forces to destroy such planes? well, probably,

military experts exist precisely in order to put forward versions and then discuss them, because the military is not actually there yet, when they are busy with combat work, and so that it was effective and efficient, and in the future, we will not tell you what capabilities, opportunities and creative ideas we have for the use of such weapons, the main thing is that there should be more similar results. mrs. natalya, that is, the result is this and how exactly it happened, it is important not to divulge so that the russian side does not know all the details, i understand correctly, well, we understand that russia still has such planes. and they have such a constant saying: we can repeat, let them repeat. you already said that the russian military, well, as if they have an understanding of what in the southern direction there is a significant danger for aviation, and how did it happen that the russian forces either neglected this, or really just did not understand the situation, or there was poor data transmission, how did it happen that

they took such a risk and to such an extent this led to such losses for the russian side. obviously, they simply do not believe enough in the armed forces, this is another constant saying that should be taken into account in everyday life, even by the russian occupier. in fact, we can state that the danger posed by the southern direction for enemy aircraft, in in principle, adequate to the danger to which they expose the local population. the enemy systematically uses tactical aviation, in particular in this direction for bombing civilians. the population of the right and left banks of the kherson region, that is why the defense forces are forced to find means that will effectively counter such a threat and protect our population, so everything is complicated, the fact that the enemy is aware that we will fight with his aviation is one aspect, and another aspect is

that they don't consider how powerfully we can do it, that's why we about... we continue communication with international partners regarding the need for our reinforcement in the air, then we will be able to quite convincingly drive the enemy's aviation to a distance that will not allow us to further harass the local population. and does the destruction of the a50 by ukrainian forces and the damage to the il-22 mean that the armed forces control the airspace over the azov and black seas. i think this is too loud a statement, though. in order to convince everyone that it is really so dangerous for russian pilots there and so much safe for our population, it is necessary to adequately assess the capabilities of the enemy and ours. we are talking about the fact that we are able to use the forces and means that we have in order to counter the threat that

the enemy is advancing in this direction, but we do not have enough means yet. protection in order for this control to be absolute. with that in mind, and now i want to ask about occupied crimea, taking into account the destruction of novocherkassk at the end of last year and this special operation with a-50 and il-22. and as the russian military changes their positions, there are theirs location in the occupied crimea. how actively do they respond to these challenges from the armed forces? they are active enough , they are maneuvering powerfully enough, they are resourcefully looking for new bases and new locations for temporary locations of units to cover the shelter rather than equipment, but still they understand that all these locations are also known to us in principle, because crimea is ukraine, and we are quite well versed in its

structure, even as a military hub, because... despite the difference in approach state, ukraine still approached crimea as a health destination, and russia interprets it as a military, military hub, we still understood that the location of military facilities there for a long time, military service and under the soviet union, implies the presence of certain fortifications and... certain specific infrastructure objects, that's why they are known to us, the enemy tries to hide in such a way that it doesn't hurt so much even on the known ones. thank you for joining our broadcast. natali humenyuk, head of the united of the coordination press center of the defense forces of southern ukraine, the colonel was a guest of svoboda ranok. thank you. the world must be ready for war, so

for the usa, for the eu, and for other countries. military security issue should become a priority on the agenda. secretary of the national security and defense council of ukraine, oleksiy danilov, wrote about this on his facebook page. the situation with millions of shells for ukraine is a litmus test of the readiness of national western economies for military challenges. the test results are maximum alarming the time of illusions of eternal peace ended on february 24, 2022. further stay in a state of complacency is deadly . according to danilov, after destroying the fascist tyranny, the west, quote, made a mistake by not finishing his blood twin brother, the russian dictatorship, in time, and they say, further mistakes will cost everyone. i will also note that the prime minister of estonia, kaia kalas , stated in an interview with the times the other day that europe has 3-5 years to

prepare for a possible military threat from russia to the eastern flank of nato. doing this statement, it relies on the data of estonian intelligence, according to which russia, in the event of a hypothetical ceasefire in ukraine , would need exactly the same amount of time to restore its military threat on the border of the eastern members of the alliance. and kalaska... says that everything also depends on how the allies will maintain their unity and position towards ukraine. according to her, russia needs a pause, and this pause is to gather its resources and forces. next, pavlo lekichuk joins our broadcast. congratulations, mr. pavle, thank you for joining, many of these, you know, global there are topics today, and considering all this information that, you know, comes from abroad, including us there. have heard mr. danilov, i will also remind you that recently they wrote a news report that nato is preparing for war with russia, and nato said that the news report article about the war between the russian federation and the alliance is a

training scenario, and they noted that they had previously invented country names, today it is considered appropriate to use the names of already existing countries and geographical regions. i will paraphrase mr. danilov here and ask the question in this way to you: is the world ready for war? you know, now many experts, political scientists, geostrategists , speak against whether the third world war has started, whether the third world war has not started, whether we are in a state now, the world is in a state of war or not, well, i think this is not quite the right consideration question, because the world is in a state of war constantly, in one way or another. a military confrontation is taking place in the globe, but there is a breakdown in the system of world systems, is this happening,

it seems to me that certain states are trying to do this to do, but i am not a political scientist, i am only a military expert, so i can only talk about the military component, and the fact that russia is preparing for war, has been preparing and... continues to prepare for a major war, this is a fact, and a number of exercises that were conducted in the russian federation between 2008 and 2022 indicate that not only ukraine was considered as a possible victim of the russian occupation, again, the command and staff exercises and plans, which in... are kept in red envelopes by the ministers of defense, in chiefs of general staffs, it's not, it's more to the final point, i.e., the military

is preparing for war, and the decision is taken by the political leadership, and the fact that our neighbors in the west began to adequately evaluate the actions of the russian... federation, its aggressive actions, is a plus, because one thing, regardless of whether a large, aggressive neighbor will attack you or not, if you are prepared for such and such actions, first of all, the probability of an attack becomes less, and secondly, it will not happen anyway they say, kyiv in three days, so... according to this scenario, nato, but russia is moving on after the victory over the zsu. the prime minister of estonia noted that europe has 3-5 years to prepare for a possible military threat from russia

to nato's eastern flank. that is, the whole question is whether russian troops will be able to win here on the territory of ukraine, and if so, will russia go further? well, of course, yes, because in fact, in ukraine, russia is wasted. in a trap, the russian army has fallen into a trap, and after it, well, all of russia is chasing it, now all military formations, the entire military machine of the russian federation is concentrated around ukraine, and it will not be able to conduct military operations on two fronts of the same intensity, as soon as the issue with ukraine is resolved in one way or another, russia will be able to accumulate enough forces to continue the implementation of its aggressive plans, this being

aggression against the country baltics, whether again against ukraine or against georgia, it is unknown, but the fact that they will get such opportunities and will try to implement them is a fact, and when our neighbors' intelligence and general staffs the baltic states of poland, germany, are finally evaluating the russian military potential and... its ability to recover, well, we see, the numbers differ, but they do not differ significantly: 3, 4, 5, 7 years, maximum, according to intelligence data. let's talk about the plans, probable plans of the russian federation for this year, general syrskyi told his version, told what russia is preparing for. let's listen. they want to seize the strategic initiative and continue

offensive actions. the main goal, and they constantly declare it, is the exit to the borders donetsk, luhansk regions, they want to go to the barrier line of the river skil in order to cover their flank, and i think that if, how they will achieve this, then on this... i will add context, in gur also mentioned the plans of the russian federation for this year, and there they said that this is an entry into the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk regions, this is the destruction of the ukrainian air defense system, aviation, and that the targets of russian missile strikes this winter are currently not energy facilities there, namely infrastructural facilities are primarily defense and industrial complex, that is how and with what ukraine, knowing about such plans of russia, can resist this, well , for now, we will say so, and... the statements of the commander

of the ground forces and information from gurim of ukraine are the part of the information that they can, the analytical part of the information, which they can make public from the information they know about the actions of the russian federation, the preparation of the next actions, i can expand the scope a bit here, there is a colonel khodaronok from the independent military review there in russia, he... a few weeks ago, he was also born quite a long article, in which he evaluated the actions of the armed forces of ukraine, quite adequately, by the way, regarding the defense of our state, and it predicted the plans of the russian federation regarding the offensive campaign, well, he sees the offensive of the russian federation more broadly. he, of course, like

the russians, he hopes for success, therefore, in addition to capturing the donetsk and luhansk regions, going to the borders, to the administrative borders of the zaporizhzhia region, he is about to continue these actions, expand them, both in terms of time and geography . on mykolaiv odesa, but conditionally setting before russia such as the main goal, this to cut off ukraine from the sea, which it ultimately has, to bring it to its knees economically. so, we understand what russia's plans are, and here i completely agree with general sirsky that the russians

are trying. seize the strategic initiative, his only last sentence when he says that the russians will stop, the russians will stop, the russians will be stopped by our military, where our troops will stop them, there they will be stopped, if we uh, give them the opportunity to move on, they will move next, let's talk about what is happening directly on the territory russia, today... in the morning something happened in voronezh at night and in the morning we were shaken by this news, the russian media wrote that there were at least 15 explosions in this russian city, where could the drones have aimed, where is such a strategically important military facility located? well, most likely they aimed at the airfield, the goronesh airfield, which is very actively used by military transport aircraft for overturning.
