are rehabilitation measures, this is a fairly young woman, if we talk about the wounded, then in our country now there are 14 people, some, most of them have been evacuated, among the 14 there are also children, they are also hospitalized in one of our children's hospitals, there is damage to the housing stock, there is damage to social infrastructure facilities, examinations and research are currently being carried out , you already said: about one house, where part of the rocket is lying in the yard, part of the rocket is in one of the apartments, evacuation is being carried out there, now in order to neutralize these parts of the rockets. and can you tell us about the scale of this evacuation? how many people are there, how is it all happening, where are these people being evacuated? these are several five-story buildings that are currently being evacuated, point one is specified.

it is usually according to the scheme, it is the nearest ee in the nearest zone, safe educational institutions , evacuation is carried out there , all work with residents will be carried out there. in terms of providing them with social assistance there, in terms of organizing housing repair work, as always, we primarily close, as much as possible, windows, broken doors, there or with film or osb, at hand, roughly speaking of materials to keep the heat in the apartments, to prevent thawing, well, by and large, this has already, unfortunately, become almost a routine job for us, or is it? information now, but how did it happen that this missile did not explode, was it shot down by air defense forces, or, what can you tell? according to preliminary data, about 20 rockets flew towards kyiv, they were all hit by air defense means, these are all debris that

fell almost all over the city, you mentioned, svyatoshynskyi district, solomyanskyi district, pecherskyi district, darnenskyi district, looking from which side the rockets entered the city. directly to the territory of the city. mr. mykola, what is the situation in the region? in the region , we also have information that one of the houses in the suburbs of kyiv is damaged, according to the victims, i will not tell you the situation. right now, all the work is being carried out by law enforcement agencies, employees of the state emergency service , rescuers, in a word, i think that we will have more detailed information a little bit more . mr. mykola. is there any general recommendation on how to do this? to behave, if the debris fell somewhere in the yard, on a car, we also saw such footage there that a man got into his burning car in order to drive it away, for example, is it necessary, kyivans and ukrainians in general, it is possible to have fire extinguishers in

their homes in order to put out such small fires that can still be extinguished before the arrival of the ministry of emergency situations. well, first of all i want to advise everyone. during air alarms , you definitely need to be in shelters, if you are already in apartments, accordingly , you need to occupy a safe place in the apartment between two walls, the rule of two walls should be used, i definitely recommend not to approach the fragments of ammunition, because they can detonate at any moment, especially since there you can try to extinguish them and the like. as for some direct small fires, if they exist, for example, and they see that it is possible to put them out so that the fire does not flare up more than once, then of course it should be done , but these are very such, well, probably isolated cases, because we we can see in practice if

the debris already hits the house directly or next to the house, then there is no extinguishing of the fire, there, first of all, it is necessary to save life, of course, this is a professional job for the state emergency service, which is at the scene of such events. mr. mykola, thank you for informing about the situation in kyiv and the region. mykola povoroznyk, the first deputy head of the kyiv city state administration, was a guest of svoboda ranok. thank you. as a result of the morning shelling of kharkiv , the entrance of an apartment building was completely destroyed, mayor igor terekhov reported. now they are dismantling the debris there, looking for people. head olek senigubov, head of the regional military administration , reports that two people have already died. in part. the kharkiv district of kyiv has no electricity and partially no water, so say terekhov.

earlier , serhiy bolvinov, head of the investigative department of the national police in the kharkiv region, reported that a gas pipeline was on fire in kharkiv and the region as a result of the morning strike. and there are injured children. according to him, four hits occurred in the suburbs of kharkiv. in addition, russian forces fired two s-300 missiles at a health camp in balaklia. next we we will follow the consequences of the morning russian shelling, we will definitely connect people who will tell the news to this broadcast. russian troops have recently achieved confirmed successes in the south of avdiyivka and on... the day before they continued their advance there, the american institute for the study of war says about this, they refer to geolocation footage published on social networks the day before, in addition, they cite posts from russian pro-war telegram channels, who claim that russian forces have taken over the hotel complex tsarska okhota and soborna street in south

avdiyivka. rybar writes about this in particular. there, according to reports from other telegram channels , russian forces are also located on sportivnaya and chernyshevsky streets. indeed, the leader. soborna street are under the control of the armed forces of ukraine, but have long since turned into a place of military operations. analysts of the deep state project say that it is in... the south of avdiyivka that the fate of the next months of city defense operations is being decided. the ukrainian general staff reported nine repulsed attacks near stypovo and avdiyivka itself. in reports of the russian ministry of defense do not mention avdiivka. serhii tsehotskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakov handziuk, joined our broadcast. welcome, thank you for joining. and we want to ask you, of course, in connection with such. news, tell me what you can, what is the situation in avdiivka and on the southern flank, and

do you confirm that the fighting is already going on in the city of avdiivka itself? well, i do not confirm, because you saw in the news that the general staff did not officially say anywhere that the widow was visited and so on, maybe someone ran in like that by chance, you know, it's definitely not running already, so in no case, in any case... you don't need mr. serhiy tsekhotskyi to contact us now, i hope we're re-establishing this connection now, i'll remind you, what are we saying now about the situation in avdiivka, where even city battles were reported, we are now clarifying this information with serhii tsyhotskyi, who said that he does not confirm this information, mr. serhii, you are back already, please. i did not go anywhere, but this is such a sample, a little yes, there are interruptions, so the positions

they are holding on, the enemy is storming, carrying out heavy assault actions, which means that they do not use equipment, heavy equipment, much, practically do not use it on the same scale as it was before, that is why the position is currently controlled, controlled by the command of the armed forces of ukraine, well, you say , that it is possible that someone from the russian forces... ran into the city, yes, if possible , there were such attempts by the russian forces, and why do you think they decided to act in this way, to run directly there with your, your interpretation, i am using the city, they are trying different ways , because earlier it was reported that russian forces were advancing there from several flanks and as if the goal was to surround the city, they are advancing from all flanks as much as possible, wherever possible. there they do, well, they do such things, they include tentacles, there are two or three little men who go forward,

look, they can pass, so then reinforcements come to them, oh, and about this moment, which you are talking about, it was generally very, very interesting weather conditions, i.e. the fog was probably 20 meters high, nothing was visible, and apparently the enemy took advantage of this, but he didn't expect that we were his, well , if not what not... chiku, we are waiting for them wherever they can appear, constantly, this is done around the clock, er, every second, we, we hold and do everything to meet him with dignity, so these are the actions, well, you see, terrorists, they, if they cannot win on the battlefield, then they start terrorizing the civilian population, our cities and so on, and this is necessary not about me, i don't know what other person could be indifferent. stay in our country, i'm not talking about foreigners there our friends, partners and so on, in our

country indifferent to what these russian terrorists are doing now, this is, well, that's the point, i don't know how you can sit at home on, excuse me, a soft sofa and watch it aside from the fact that someone has decided something for you, i want to emphasize that after our appeals, even my appeals, which i made, it became very active to call, get in touch through your acquaintances, who is with us serves, and to ask questions, and how to join you, it is very gratifying, it says about the fact that, after all, people began to be more aware of their responsibility, including their responsibility for what is being done in the country, mr. serhiy, it is important for information, you see , talking about it so that there is no impression, as you know, many people from... there after the 14th year, that there is news from the front, they already occupied some such not the first positions,

that is why we are talking about it, the more there really is to talk about, so i thank you that you join in, can we still ask you about the immediate situation, about the actions, maybe the tactical actions of the russian forces, you gave as an example that perhaps taking advantage of the weather conditions there, with the fog, they began to enter the city to try, in general , what equipment do they have now, are they not here, well, what tools do they use, how do they use... other weather conditions in order to advance? activity only with those drones, kamikazes and drops from drones, that's what they have. is actively going , but it can be seen that they are still, well , they are still afraid, they still do not understand that they are losing their life force every day, so even then, well, having such an opportunity, i replenish my supplies somewhere, and with this they constantly attack , but this also happens around the clock, but

what kind of techniques are involved, some new tactical actions are not involved in them... there are none, well, i guess, we hope, that will not appear , and if we talk about the mass in terms of manpower, because you, and other military personnel, and military experts there are talking about the fact that the russian forces are suffering very large losses in avdiivka, this still does not stop them, this trend of many losses continues they carry, it goes on, yes constantly, well, that's what i'm saying, it's generally uh-uh some nonsense. it's not that they don't know , they understand, but they don't have any idea, they really don't know why they are going to this, to this death, we know, our country is behind us, our relatives and loved ones are behind us , and we know what we are fighting for, what we are here for, and why they are going to foreign land, for what

interests, well, in general, history has already proven this many times, even about afghan soldiers... do you remember yes, a certain one has passed time, and everyone said, and we didn't send you there, so we got baptized and so on, and so on, and the same thing will happen, probably, taking into account the fact that they are still occupiers, they are still invaders, and they are terrorists, isolation, economic sanctions, well , you'll see what it will be, well, you just have to read history, i recommend it to russians. true history, read, you don’t need to go into the distant history of the middle ages, go into those distant times, take a century-old history, just read there from the time of the same vei lenin, the so-called, who exactly, i want more just had time to ask you, such an important moment, but is the situation different now with the amount of necessary weapons

and direct manpower for the ukrainian forces in this direction or in... in january of the new year, the situation somehow changed, well, look, so you see, here is even the situation , well, let's not say these details, yes, avdiivka , someone went in, someone somewhere, something and so on, but the command of the armed forces, yes, reacts, makes certain changes, makes certain means there in order to ensure defense, yes defense and somewhere conduct at the same time active assault actions there, in that... counterattacks, therefore, probably, yes, we will not go into details, there is probably something to do, but there are these forces and means that today restrain this voracious the enemy, that means everything is done correctly, i will say, here you can rely on the military, i say this for myself and i say it for each of our soldiers,

up to, excuse me, the commander-in-chief, because we have a vertical. attention between all branches of government, the command of the armed forces, oh, and how soon we end this war, it depends on this society , and what you mentioned at the beginning, how can you sit at home when someone is fighting there, this happens, i will quote you, thank you , mr. serhii, who joined and told about the situation in avdiivka, what they could tell, serhii tsekhodskyi, an officer of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade named after yakuv hantsyuk, was a guest of his gift. next, our broadcast will cover a sensitive topic, we will show how the bodies of fallen soldiers are identified in ukraine, for example, did you know that if a ukrainian soldier who died had no relatives, then an ordinary razor, which he used in everyday life, will help to identify his body, this is emphasized by experts who work with military biological material. i have to

warn you that the individual frames that you will see next may shock you, because there is a real video work of an expert. with dna, but they enable families to find their relatives. lechakiv cemetery in lviv. it is here that the fallen soldiers of the great russian-ukrainian war are buried. to the cemetery was not just a cemetery, but a place of memory and honor, the city authorities announced an architectural competition for the project of a memorial complex of military burials. at the lychakiv cemetery on... among the hundreds of graves of ukrainian heroes, an unknown soldier of the armed forces of ukraine is buried, the defender whose name was emphasized during the funeral last november by military chaplains, no one knows. we... emphasized that we are saying goodbye to a soldier whose name is known to god, first of all. accordingly, many places also came to

say goodbye to this unknown warrior, even more so, that one of the wives, a soldier, a soldier who was by the side of the farewell at the funeral, volunteered that she would take care of this grave of an unknown soldier until it was established. actually the identity of the unknown soldier. the unknown soldier of the armed forces of ukraine is told in the city council of lviv that he could have died in april 2022 in the battles for popasnoscha in the luhansk region. he was in a unit that consisted mostly of lviv residents. little is known about the defender. even the age is approximate, from 30 to 40 years. for almost a year and a half, since the body was brought to lviv, the soldier's relatives have not been found. so experts took dna samples with the hope that if relatives are found, he can be reburied. if the family decides that this soldier should be buried here in lviv, in our field of honor, then he will be

reflected in this memorial in the future, if the family decides that he should be reburied according to their wishes to another place, then an appropriate reburial will be carried out, but it will definitely be, the opinion of the family members will be taken into account first of all, and god forbid that... these relatives were found, the case of the burial of an unknown soldier of the armed forces in lviv is not the only one in ukraine, since the full-scale russian invasion, such a burial was, for example, in zhytomyr, as well as in the city of rivne, where last year they said goodbye to an unknown soldier of the armed forces, he, according to the city council he died on march 22 near lysychansk, his relatives could not be found immediately, he was in the morgue for several months, so he was not there in order to be his . it was decided to bury him, the soldier was buried in the alley heroes, the soldier rested there for a year, and it was thanks to the selected dna samples that the relatives

were found, after the examinations , it was possible to establish that the deceased was from a village near lviv, he was 25 years old. according to the procedure, the bodies of dead soldiers from the battlefield are first delivered to the bureau of forensic medical examinations, such as this one in the dnipropetrovsk region. military personnel from donetsk, in particular, are brought here. in this direction , experts who select biological material work with the bodies, dna samples are stored in the archive, the system, they say, is centralized, if due to significant damage , it is difficult to identify the body, experts conduct additional studies, according to the decision of the investigator , a study is conducted, establishing the genotype, if it is necessary, if the body is not identified or without signs for identification for the possibility of identification without a molecular study, then such a study should be conducted. the procedure of identification of an unidentified body of a military man takes up to several weeks on average, but - experts emphasize, everything depends on the complexity of the research and the condition of the material from how they work to accurately identify

the body, it is best to compare samples of the deceased with the dna of the mother or one of his children. however , there are cases when there is simply no one to compare dna with. there are dead people who simply have no relatives, no relatives at all. unfortunately, this is also the case recently. then there is identification. for personal belongings, when they deliver, personal belongings, this is a razor and a toothbrush, it is arranged, and the military provides these personal belongings, well, in this way , identification is also carried out. some details about forensic experts can identify the deceased person thanks to the bones, for example, determine the sex, height and approximate age of the person who died. we are talking not only about the military, but also about the civilians who suffered during the russian aggression in ukraine. clamps they are more resistant to such processes as aggressive flames, decay, they are more resistant than soft

tissues, and therefore, it is a fertile material for removal, for removal of dna. all the dna samples of fallen soldiers taken since the beginning of the great war, that is, since february 2022 year, are stored. there is no final date, the relatives of the victims continue to call the hotline of the forensic medical examination bureau every day, the laboratory assistant viktoriya rashchenko talks to them, she asks for the surname, first name and patronymic of the soldier who is wanted, the year of birth, the date of the uprising communication, in addition, one of the most recent photos, as well as certain features of the appearance, such as a scar on the body or a tattoo, or the condition of the teeth, for example, the presence of crowns or overcracks, all this can simplify the procedure identification. bodies, when a body comes to us, experts in the morgue take photos of it during the examination, then these photos are uploaded to the computer, each body has its own number and...

there is already some information on each body, and then you have to review each one manually , to find one or the other. if there is a match between the information received from the relatives and the data from the bureau, the likely relatives of the soldier are asked to come in person, and those who are currently watching this story, the bureau urges them to trust only the official authorities, because fraudsters have become more active in the process searching for the dead, they promise their relatives to look for the dead. sometimes hundreds of thousands of hryvnias are asked for money or services for a father or husband. fraudsters, the bureau emphasizes, make relatives sign an agreement that it is not a fee, but a voluntary contribution. after that, they come to the morgue and introduce themselves as relatives of certain soldiers. for example, the mother is in grief and cannot come, but they are the only relatives and they ask to show them photos of certain individuals. then this photo is provided as a fact of work performance. with the question of how much from february 2022

were not identified. bodies of the ukrainian military, we turned to the ministry of defense and the armed forces of ukraine, but we were not given an answer there . even in the first months of the full-scale invasion, the ministry of defense of ukraine explained that the data on losses in the war and the actual number of dead are a state secret. oleg galiv and maryan pavlyk, radio liberty. oleg kotenko, co-founder of the non-governmental organization grupa patriot, joined our broadcast. oleg, congratulations, thank you for joining. good morning we want to ask. you about how it is now in ukraine a search and identification system for dead soldiers has been built, and the single register has worked, how effective is it? well, let me start by saying that i really deal with this issue, and as a civil servant, i worked for more than a year as an authority on the issue of missing persons under special circumstances, that is, in fact, in may of the 23rd year, we launched the registry of missing persons, i'll be honest. well

, i wanted to finish it, but there was very little time and it was necessary to register people who were missing from them. how does this registry work? to the ministry of internal affairs has a hotline to which you can contact when a person is missing and register in your office, i will tell you about it, by the way, as an algorithm, but you need to understand how it works on... documents for that , so that the ministry of internal affairs identifies the person who makes this request, and after such identification is made and there is confirmation that the person is really missing, they are issued an extract from the register that the person is missing under special circumstances, this is how it works , in which there is a small problem, maybe a big one, maybe even completely it is not a big problem that i made changes to this law in order to...

improve the work of this register, not only the bodies of the ministry of internal affairs should be involved, but all the bodies that are related to the search for missing persons, this and the security service of ukraine, this is the dndk, this is the national police , and bodies such as our armed forces, because we need to understand as soon as possible who is missing and how to find him, but this information is in different, let's say, our state agencies. .. institutions, but it does not merge into any one system, so the register needs to be improved, and i, as a public figure, at the moment and my organization, the public organization patriot group, are engaged in improving it and bringing it to the voting hall, this issue, that is, in order to start searching for, for example, your probable, possibly deceased relative , you need to turn to this register, first of all, or to the authorities, no. if we

talk about the algorithm, then the algorithm looks like this, that is, if it is a military serviceman, then the relatives need to apply to the shopping center, and to the state central committee from where the person was called up for military service, this is the first question, the second question, the second step that needs to be taken is to apply to the national police with a statement about the disappearance of a person, this is necessary in order for this person to be automatically found in the register of missing persons under special circumstances, as a third step we suggest contacting the national information bureau, we are talking about civilians so far, in order for them to be entered in the register, you know that if a person has disappeared without food, it does not mean that she died maybe she is in a convoy and steps need to be taken for her release, and our niv, which is in ukraine, he cooperates with the same niv, which is in russia, they exchange information, and maybe russia will confirm that this person is already in captivity, then it's another

question. next, we suggest contacting the organization.
